- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “After the balance sheet date, in March 2026, the Greene King Limited group introduced a new estate strategy focused on building an efficient system to focus investment, maximise profitability and support each site's growth to ensure the business is best set up to execute its 2030 group-wide strategy. This included evaluating the entire estate to recognise the most suitable sites for each brand. As part of this, c.300 managed sites were identified that would be better served under different models, with half of these sites expected to be converted to leased and tenanted, or franchise venues with the other half evaluated for sale over the medium-term.”
