Going concern

Affirmed

“As a consequence, the directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and have therefore, prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “Kemira Oyj's decision to divest its Oil & Gas portfolio. This is discussed in further detail in the strategic report on page 5 and note 15 on page 32.”
• “The overall debt of the Company decreased during 2024 with the repayment of a £3.45m Group loan. Short-term borrowings at the end of the period are £nil (2023: £3,450,000).”
• “In 2024, overall CO2 intensity increased from 2023 levels, as was expected. The main driver in this increased intensity was a switch of electricity supplies to non-renewable sources in the latter part of the year, which increased Scope 2 emissions from zero to 3,110 Te.”
• “The company holds an Energy Intensive Industries (EII) Exemption certificate which discounts certain elements of regulatory charging on direct electricity supplies to Kemira sites. Approximately 75% of the electricity supplied directly to Kemira sites in 2024 was sourced from renewable generation.”
• “A £10m Acrylonitrile Purification project at the Bradford plant was agreed by the Group Investment Committee in 2020, work commenced in 2021 and was completed in December 2022.”
• “A second £7.7m Magnetite expansion project at the Goole plant was agreed in late 2023 with completion expected in late 2025.”
• “In the fourth quarter of 2024 Kemira Oyj undertook a comprehensive organisational redesign aimed at enhancing customer centricity and driving growth, the restructuring provision represents the Company's estimate in respect of redundancy.”
• “Annuities: the Scheme entered into a buy-in contract with Aviva in May 2024 and as such all Scheme benefits are secured with Aviva.”
