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 Directors consider the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis to be appropriate. This is due to the following key factors relevant to the assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore its ability to provide support if required to the Company: Continuing robust commodity price backdrop and a well hedged portfolio over the next 12 months; Reserves Based Lending ("RBL") liquidity headroom of $1,220 million ($80 million drawn versus $1.3 billion available), plus circa $272 million cash at the end of November 2025; and Resilient operational performance and well-diversified portfolio.”
