Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have reviewed the Company's cash flow and operating forecasts and have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (for the period ending 31 December 2026). In addition, under the terms of the Group's banking arrangement, security over the Company's assets has been granted to the Group's bankers so the Directors of Renew Holdings plc have provided a letter of support to the Company stating that Renew Holdings plc will provide support for the Company should it be required to enable it to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due until 31 December 2026. Further details of the going concern assessment undertaken by the Directors of Renew Holdings plc are provided in the Annual Report of Renew Holdings plc, for which copies are available on request from the registered office of that company. As a result, the directors believe that the going concern basis is appropriate for the preparation of these financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-09-30 vs 2024-09-30

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
