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

- Affirmed
“The Directors have obtained confirmation from Ithaca Energy plc that it will provide the necessary support to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they fall due. This confirmation is valid until 31 December 2026. To conclude on the going concern for the Company, the Directors have considered the liquidity and solvency of Ithaca Energy plc and have considered going concern at the Group level. Key factors include: Continuing robust commodity price backdrop and a well hedged portfolio over the next 12 months; Reserves Based Lending ("RBL") liquidity headroom of $1,090 million ($210 million drawn versus $1.3 billion available), plus circa $574 million cash at the end of September 2025; and Resilient operational performance and well-diversified portfolio.”
Significant events
- “As a guarantor under the RBL facility, the obligations of the borrower under the RBL facility are secured by the assets of the guarantor members of the Group, such as security including share pledges, floating charges and/or debentures.”
- “There are no subsequent events applicable to the Company.”
