Update on the Group's audit for year ended 28 February 2022
Ā
Revolution Beauty Group Plc (AIM: REVB) the multi-channel mass beauty innovator makes the following update on Group's ongoing audit for the year ended 28 February 2022.
On 2 August 2022 the Group announced the following;
"The Company will now report its final results for the year ended 28 February 2022 ("FY22") on 30 August 2022. This is due to additional time required to complete the Company's audit. Management is not aware of any material issues that have been raised by the auditors during the audit process to date. The annual report will be sent to shareholders and made available on our website on the 31 August 2022."
The auditors have subsequently raised certain accounting issues with management regarding the audit and these could have a material impact on the results for FY22 that have previously been communicated by the Group. In the event that material adjustments are required, the Group profitability for FY22 could be materially reduced across a number of potential adjustments including stock and bad debt provisioning and revenue recognition. Once these issues have been fully resolved and agreed between the auditors and management a further announcement will be made.
It should be noted the potential changes to the results for FY22 do not impact the net debt position previously notified of Ā£21.2m as at 31 July 2022 and management reiterate they believe that the Group's Ā£40m revolving credit facility provides sufficient liquidity for the future. Management also confirm that guidance for the year ending 28 February 2023, as set out in the announcement on 2 August 2022 remains unchanged.
The Group continues to work constructively with the auditors on the audit process and continues to aim for this to be completed by 30 August 2022. The Company will keep shareholders updated on this process and any revisions to the audit timeline.
