Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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
- “In November 2024 the Schaeffler Group announced the plan to close the production plant in Sheffield as part of a wider Group restructuring program. The targeted cease of production is at the end of the second quarter of 2026. After the closure, Schaeffler (UK) Limited will continue to operate supporting the remaining UK locations and will continue with its sale of anti friction bearings and precision components to the industrial sector.”
