Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on a Going Concern basis, which is a period of 12 months from approval of these financial statements and has been supported by the provision of letters of support from its shareholders, SSE plc and Infracapital Partners (including specifically Infracapital Partners III (Sterling) SCSp, Infracapital Partners III (Euro) SCSp and Digital Infrastructure Investment Partners LP). The letters of support confirm they will provide support for a period of 12 months from the date of signing of these accounts. In assessing the financial strength of the letters of support provided, the directors have considered the commitment from their shareholders to mutually provide funding, the current commercial telecoms market conditions, as well as sensitivities on future cashflow projections. The directors also considered mitigating actions available to the Company under a severe, but plausible downside scenario including non-essential capex postponement. Having prepared forecasts, the directors have identified the need for support from their shareholders, which they have committed to provide. The directors' are satisfied that the supporting entities have sufficient available funds to support the entity based on review of publicly available information and underlying records. The business case for Reach was fully reviewed and approved by our Board. We have contracted with Network Rail for the 1,000 km build and all financial requirements have been considered, based on the business case there is a positive cashflow expected for the period up to Dec-26 as confirmed in our going concern. If we were to commercialise then this would also strengthen the position at a group level. Having reviewed its financial strength, the directors are satisfied that the Company will remain funded for the foreseeable future and have concluded it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.”
