- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company and the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Subsequent to the year-end and prior to signing of these financial statements, the Company successfully obtained formal approval from its lenders for the refinancing of the maturing facilities.”
Group structure
- MUC-OFF LIMITED · parent
- Muc-Off USA LLC 100%
Significant events
- “The financial year has seen a significant amount of upheaval in the markets the group trade in, with competitors and certain customers dealing with significant stock holdings which are a layover from Covid growth.”
- “Gross profit % has fallen from last year as we have dealt with cost-of-living increases in our supply chain which we have not fully passed on to our customers while also implemented some operational efficiencies.”
- “The Group remains cautious moving into the next financial year but is optimistic over further improvements in market share and growth of the business. However, the global issues facing distributors and retailers is an area we are concerned about, to mitigate against this risk we carry credit insurance on our customer base and our multiple routes to market will allow us to still reach end consumers.”
- “These risks have been increased in the US following the introduction of global tariffs for goods imported into the US. With the relocation of our US warehouse away from a 3PL we are exploring US import schemes to look to reduce this exposure to our Non-US customers serviced by our US warehouse.”
- “Subsequent to the year-end and prior to signing of these financial statements, the Company successfully obtained formal approval from its lenders for the refinancing of the maturing facilities. The new financing arrangements provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company's and Group's obligations as they fall due and support its ongoing operations.”

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
