Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have prepared detailed profit and loss and cash flow forecasts for the period to 31 July 2026 for Villa Topco Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group), considering reasonably foreseeable assumptions around trading circumstances and including various "downside" scenarios. At the time of approving these financial statements there remains uncertainty in broader market conditions and interest rates remain high, which increases the uncertainty of delivering the Group's forecasts. The current forecasts indicate a covenant breach in FY26, due to the impact of higher cash interest payments and the Group is currently renegotiating its debt covenants with its lenders... Our majority investor, Accel-KKR, has provided written confirmation of our agreement in principle that they will provide up to $30.0m to support the Group's growth initiatives, assist with strengthening the Group's balance sheet and facilitate covenant compliance for at least 12 months from the date of signature of these financial statements... Therefore, the Board has adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-01-31 vs 2024-01-31

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
