- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In July 2025, the subsidiary undertaking declared a dividend of $52,282,843 to the company. On the same date the company declared a dividend of $52,282,843 to the parent company Sazerac Investment Holdings, Inc.”
- “On 5 September 2025, a subsidiary undertaking exercised an option to acquire an additional shareholding in John Distilleries Private Limited, increasing its total interest from 63.34% to 80.84%. The option was granted under an agreement dated August 2025, which was exercisable until 30 September 2025. As the decision to exercise the option occurred after the reporting date and no obligation existed at 30 June 2025, this is considered a non-adjusting event. The financial impact of this transaction is estimated to be $75.3m.”

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
