- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors believe, after due and careful enquiry, that the Company has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for at least one year after the financial statements were authorised for issue and, therefore, consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 2026 financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Company repaid £744.9 million (2025: £349.3 million) of debt and raised £920.0 million of new debt in the year.”
- “The loss before tax from continuing operations of £33.0 million for 2026 was impacted by an expected credit loss adjustment on the receivable from Anglian Water Services Limited, which was calculated using external market data influenced by the Iran War.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
