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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's results for the year and principal risks and uncertainties are disclosed in the strategic report. In order to assess the going concern status of the company, the directors have prepared forecasts for the going concern assessment period to 31 December 2026. After making due enquiries with the access to funds, potential downside scenarios resulting from global macroeconomic pressures, cross guarantees with fellow members of the group cash pool and strength of the ultimate parent undertaking, Danaher Corporation, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operation during the assessment period to 31 December 2026. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Board approved a Capital Reduction of £218m, and subsequent share buyback of £206m as well as paid dividends of £20m.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
