“Based on this assessment, the directors have concluded that no material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Until 31 July 2024, Ferguson Group Services Limited (the "Company") was a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferguson plc. On 30 May 2024, the shareholders of Ferguson plc voted to approve a new corporate structure to domicile the Group's ultimate parent company in the United States. Effective on 1 August 2024 (the "Effective Date"), the Group implemented this new corporate structure by completing a merger transaction (the "Merger") that resulted in Ferguson plc becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Ferguson Enterprises Inc., a Delaware corporation.”
- “As a result of the steps taken in July 2024 to domicile the top parent company in the United States, the Company recognised a deferred tax charge of £31,168,000, related to certain pre-existing UK tax attributes no longer expected to be realisable as part of the change in domicile.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
