- Affirmed
“As a wholly-owned subsidiary of the parent company, Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (Sobi AB), cash is managed through a group cash pooling arrangement. The company is therefore reliant on support from its parent and has obtained confirmation from its parent that it will continue to provide the necessary financial support to ensure the company is able to continue as a going concern, for the going concern period. The Directors have compiled a budget and cash flow forecast for the period to 31 December 2026 being the going concern review period based on levels of trading observed to date in 2025, and taking into account the pricing and funding arrangements between the company and its parent. The Directors remain confident in the existing product portfolio as well as anticipated revenues from products currently in the launch plan, and have set targets for the coming year based on anticipated revenue growth. No significant capital expenditure is anticipated in the review period. As such, the Directors perceive no significant cash flow risk to the business. The Sobi group continues to perform strongly throughout the world and record sales and profit growth year on year. This, combined with the financial support from Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB, provides the Directors with assurance that the business can expect to continue as a going concern for the period to 31 December 2026. The Directors have made enquiries of its parent undertaking and are comfortable that the parent has the ability to provide financial support as needed.”
