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 Company has sufficient resources available through its capacity agreements and the financing structure it has in place to continue for the foreseeable future. Having assessed the principal risks and uncertainties discussed in the strategic report, and the conclusions that have been drawn from the assessment of the Company's long-term cash flow model and business plan, it is the opinion of the Directors that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Company successfully completed the implementation of an incremental capacity project, reinforcing the Terminal's regasification capability to 812.5 GWh per day on a firm basis.”
- “The Company signed a Hydrogen Sales Agreement with Morgen WWH LTD for the supply of green hydrogen via a low-pressure pipeline, helping reduce the Company's emissions through the blending of up to 20% Hydrogen by volume of fuel gas at the Terminal. Supply under this agreement is expected to commence in 2027.”
