Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements which, taking account of the reasonably severe but plausible downsides, indicates the company will have sufficient cash through existing fixed-term funding from its parent company, SGL Carbon SE, to meet its liabilities as they fall due during that period. Any forecasted downside considerations would not require any further support.”

Significant events

• “It was announced on 18th February 2025 that individual sites within the business unit 'Carbon Fibers' would be looked at for potential sale or closure. Individual solutions are being developed for all affected sites, including closure of unprofitable sites. This has been evidenced by the closure of SGL's Portuguese facility. The Muir of Ord and Halifax sites are still continuing to meet internal customer demands for Carbon Fiber, Panox, and Intermediate Fibers. Nothing has been communicated to suggest closure of either facility, however specific information on the overall restructuring plan is still being finalised.”
• “In February 2025 the decision was made to restructure the Carbon Fibers business unit of the SGL Carbon SE group. The business activities of the Carbon Fibers section of the business will be significantly reduced to focus on a profitable core. On 15 July 2025, SGL Carbon Fibers Ltd received a capital injection of £7 million from the SGL Carbon SE group. This continued investment in SGL Carbon Fibers Ltd demonstrates the ongoing support of the SGL Carbon SE group in the company as a going concern.”

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
