Going concern

Affirmed

“In considering the going concern assessment, the Board has undertaken a rigorous assessment of going concern assumptions using the base case financial forecasts and a severe but plausible downside scenario covering the 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The base case projections prepared for the going concern assessment are derived from the actual and budgeted volume activity for the 2024 and 2025 calendar years, extended to encompass a period of assessment for 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Downside scenario sensitivity tests incorporated into the Group's modelling include a drop in average selling prices and volumes, resulting in lower revenues, operating profit margins and free cashflow due to reduced customer activity and a macro-economic recession. The Board incorporated assessment of Group debt arrangements, banking covenants and projected headroom into its scenario analysis. Management and the Board are confident that the business will continue to generate sufficient cash flows from their operations to meet future obligations as they fall due, as well as the Group's ability to secure equivalent financing from it's lenders or via the continued support of the shareholders. Based on these assessments and the performance of the Group through to the date of signing these financial statements, the Director believes that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
