Naked Wines added that "constructive discussions" are being to secure funding.

It also updated shareholders on its trading position.

The company said that revenue in the fourth quarter of financial 2024 has been in line with company expectations. The company's financial year runs to March 28.

It noted that its net cash position has improved to around GBP17 million, up from GBP3 million at during its third quarter.

Naked Wines plans to provide a further pre-close trading update for financial 2024, including an update on the refinancing process, prior to publishing results in July.
