Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company is an intermediate holding company and is part of the Smurfit Westrock Plc group (the 'Group'), and its ability to continue as a going concern is linked in with the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. The Company has obtained a letter of support for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the balance sheet, co-signed by WRKCo Inc and Smurfit Westrock Plc. The directors remain confident in the future prospects for the Company and its ability to continue as a going concern for the period of 12 months from the date of the approval of the balance sheet (being the period covered in the letter of support) and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
