- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In determining whether the Group's financial statements can be prepared on the going concern basis, the Directors considered the Group's business activities together with factors likely to affect its future development, performance and its financial position including cash flows, liquidity position and the principal risks and uncertainties relating to its business activities, as given in the Strategic Report. In considering the current economic environment, future cash flows were subjected to a stress test analysis with respect to working capital funding taking into account the Directors' best estimate of income and expenditure forecasts as well as the Group's current cash balance and available committed borrowing facilities. The Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the Group's financial statements on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The invoice financing arrangement with ING Bank N.V. and Liberty Blume Specialty Finance Limited of £105 million ended on 26 April 2025.”
- “On 6 May 2025, the Group signed an amendment to its asset-backed securitisation facility with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC). The facility limit was increased from £400,000,000 to £450,000,000. There were no changes to the term end date of 20 July 2027 or the unwind period of three years.”
