- Affirmed
“The directors expect the company to continue to generate positive cash flows on its own account for the foreseeable future. The successful granting of 5-year extensions to our three England 10-year service contracts in October 2025 has secured our primary revenue base through 2030. Furthermore, the strategic expansion into new service lines, highlighted by the award of a new Sleep Service contract in 2025 and the successfül launch of an additional contract in February 2026, provides a clear trajectory for continued organic growth. The company continues to promote these products in 2026.”
Significant events
- “Overall turnover from operations increased in the year by 12.2% to £39.702m from £35.371m because of growth in Oxygen and Sleep services. Operating profit increased to £3.402m from £2.326m, which was primarily driven by the successful onboarding of a new Sleep Service contract and the realisation of enhanced operational efficiencies.”
- “The biggest risk is the dependency of the business on three large home oxygen service contracts with the NHS, and one with the NSS - this however is considered low as current NHS contracts were renewed in 2020 for a further 10 years, and the contract with NSS was successfully retendered for a further ten years.”
- “The directors expect the company to continue generating positive cash flows for the foreseeable future, supported by the successful 5-year extensions of three 10-year NHS England service contracts in October 2025. Furthermore, the company's growth was bolstered by the award of a new sleep service contract in 2025, with a subsequent contract launched in February 2026.”
- “Dolby Medical Home Respiratory Care Limited, trading as Vivisol has successfully maintained its Carbon Neutral company certification for the fifth consecutive year.”
