Going concern

Affirmed

“The Group's business activities, together with the factors likely to impact its future development, performance and position are set out in the Group's Strategic Report. During the period, the Company was financed through a long term loan from a related party, maturing in March 2025 and short term requirements through cash pooling arrangements. A partial repayment of the loan has occurred in March 25 with the remaining element of the loan renewed until 22 March 2030 demonstrating the continued support of the group. Despite forecasting to remain profitable and cash generative for the remainder of FY25 and FY26, the Group has the financial support of its ultimate parent, SC Johnson and Son Inc. which has sufficient cash and liquidity to fund operations if necessary and a letter of support has been provided indicating that it will continue to support the business until 31 March 2026. The directors of the Group have also reviewed and evaluated the ability of the ultimate parent to continue as a going concern to 31 March 2026 and are of the view that it has the ability to provide the financial support to the Group as set out in the support letter if required. Hence the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The key focus of the Group during the period has been to grow skincare sales revenue through healthcare, institutional, office and industrial channels, whilst improving gross profit margin by concentrating on the higher volume and higher margin products, seeking cost optimisation opportunities. Improved operating effectiveness has been achieved by moving back-office functions to a shared service centre.”
• “Whilst trading conditions have been difficult in the year, given the Group's restructuring and the on-going investment in its people, innovation and infrastructure, the Directors consider the Group to be well positioned for future growth and are satisfied with the performance of the Group during the period.”
• “Non-recurring administrative income / expenses amounted to £4,782,000 (2023: loss of £6,285,000) and were due to an impairment reversal of trademarks of £,4,790,000 offset by additional net expense regarding of £8,000 due to restructuring (note 18).”
• “The prior year non-recurring losses have decreased were £6,285,000. This was driven byrestructuring costs of the European Finance and Customer Services to transfer 36 heads to the UK shared service centre and the impairment of trademarks, development and intangible assets).”
• “The Ukraine and Russia war has had no significant impact on the Group, other than inflationary pressures which the Group has put in place cost mitigation strategies to offset these pressures.”
• “During the year the transition of European Finance and Customer Service roles to a shared service centre within the UK, to strengthen the operating efficiency of the European region, was completed.”

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
