  Material uncertainty over going concern

  The Directors acknowledge the financial resilience requirements from Ofgem, which are in part supported by the funding available to the business as described above. At the time of these accounts being signed, the existing funding facilities or alternative arrangements with Ofgem are not in place for the following 12 months to comply with these requirements. As Ofgem retains the ability to levy fines, impose licence conditions or revoke a supplier's license for non-compliance with the requirements, this represents a material uncertainty which casts doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and the Company's ability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, given the current funding available to So Energy, and continued engagement with Ofgem, the Directors believe that a satisfactory agreement will be confirmed in the first quarter of 2026 via a combination of improved business performance, and facility restructuring.

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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.
