- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors confirm that the going concern basis of accounting has been adopted in preparing the financial statements. The Directors state that Restore's accounts are prepared on the going concern basis. This is appropriate as the Company expects to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, making no material uncertainties to going concern.”

Significant events
- “Group revenue increased 27% to £304.7m, with adjusted profit before tax* rising 22% to £40.6m.”
- “Adjusted operating margin† reached 20.8%, surpassing our 20% medium term target and demonstrating the effectiveness of the margin enhancing initiatives delivered over the past two years.”
- “The successful completion of seven acquisitions, including Synertec, expanded the Group's capabilities across digital and print communications and strengthened our share of the shredding market.”
- “The disposal of the Harrow Green has sharply improved quality of earnings and created a leaner and more cohesive Group with further opportunity for growth in 2026 and beyond.”
- “The Group maintained its hallmark of strong cash generation, achieving 103% cash conversion (2024: 117%) and £42.9m of free cash flow, enabling active management and the future return of surplus cash to shareholders with the launch of a £20m buyback programme to return excess cash to shareholders.”
- “Statutory operating profit and statutory profit before tax impacted by significant acquisition-related costs, including the Synertec earn-out recognised as remuneration over the earn-out period.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
