Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“During 2025, the KCOM Group (inclusive of this Company "the Group") commenced negotiations with its lenders and shareholders to restructure its current capital structure, in order that the Group's capital structure is sustainable and allows the Group to continue as a best-in-class provider of connectivity services to its customers and to meet its obligations as they become due. An agreement has been reached in February 2026, to capitalise interest and reset covenants. The amended facility continues to mature in September 2027. In parallel with the amended facility, the Group has entered into an agreement (the Agreement) with its lenders and shareholder. The Agreement may result in a sale, a sale of assets or a reorganisation. The directors cannot reasonably assess the outcome of the Agreement, which is expected to conclude within the going concern assessment period. Under the Agreement all outcomes cannot be fully assessed at the date of the approval of these financial statements, and as such represent events or conditions which indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and company's ability to continue as a going concern. After making enquiries and taking into account the material uncertainty referred to above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
