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

Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The company is dependent for its working capital on the ultimate UK parent company, YTL Utilities (UK) Limited. The company has received undertakings from YTL Utilities (UK) Limited, until 31 December 2026, that they will continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company and in particular will not seek repayment of the amounts currently made available. This should enable the company to continue to trade for the going concern period to 31 December 2026 by meeting its liabilities as and when they become due. Based on this undertaking the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “WWE results this year have been impacted by operational issues at its Avonmouth site which prohibited maximisation of flow of biogas to its biomethane plant. As a result, income from this plant dropped 30% year-on-year.”
• “lower staff costs, as all operational staff were transferred to fellow subsidiary Wessex Water Services Ltd under Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) TUPE regulations in January 2024 (half-way through prior year) resulting in a lower average headcount throughout 2025, reducing the overall staff costs by approximately 52% from prior year.”
• “The food waste processing plant digesters were unavailable from August 2024 preventing further biogas production. This has impacted the primary income stream. Remediation and repairs to the digesters are expected to delay the resumption of biogas production until the financial year 2025/26.”
• “The final dividend for the year of £1.0m was declared in June 2025 and paid in July 2025.”
