What management said

CEO: 'many of our investors will know that we are unable to provide a meaningful forward-looking view of the business at this point in the year', with an indication of 2026 performance promised in the September interim update.

The dividend

Final dividend for 2025 of 260p per share proposed (record date 3 July 2026, payable 30 July 2026), total for 2025 260p (2024: 260p); c.£6.5m, funded out of reserves, not covered by net income. The dividend was reintroduced in 2025 after none for 2024 (2024 final of 260p was paid, £6.6m). The Board describes the dividend as 'not fully covered by net income'.

Going concern and the audit

Going concern basis adopted. The viability assessment covers the next 15 months and models 'severe but plausible' scenarios (lower prices and yields). Group headroom is expected to remain sufficient under both base and downside cases. Cash and equivalents £65.9m, treasury deposits £40.9m, gilts £35.3m and money-market investments £6.1m total £148.2m against borrowings of £14.6m. The auditor (Deloitte LLP, senior statutory auditor Makhan Chahal, report dated 4 May 2026) gave an unmodified opinion with no material uncertainty on going concern. Sole key audit matter: revenue recognition (cut-off). Group materiality £1.0m (0.4% of revenue); 39 components in scope covering 100% of revenue. The impairment of the JING Tea brand is no longer a KAM. A resolution to appoint BDO LLP as auditor goes to the 2026 AGM.
