- Affirmed
“Management have confirmed that the group will provide appropriate support, both through non-recall of intercompany debt, and cash provided by the wider Mativ Group where necessary, such that the Company will be able to continue to meet its debt repayments as they fall due. As a result, the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Company identified an error in the application of revenue cut-off in the year ended 31 December 2024. The comparative figures have therefore been restated to correct the timing of revenue and the associated cost of sales.”
