Material uncertainty over going concern
As noted above, the Group's current RCF matures on 31 October 2026. Whilst the external net debt has been reducing and a smaller facility is being sought, there remains a risk that a new financing provider cannot be secured before the current facility matures. Should a new finance provider not be secured in time, depending on the actions of the current RCF lenders, or any other mitigating actions, the Group may be unable to continue to operate in its current form. This therefore constitutes a material uncertainty to the Group being able to continue as a going concern.
