Significant events
- “During 2025, the Company's turnover for the year increased by £3,407,897 over the previously reported fiscal year, which is the most relevant measure to management to determine success of the business. Increase in turnover was primarily due to strong growth in transaction volumes across all markets, and growth in new merchants as part of transaction processing revenues.”
- “The Company will continue to develop relationships with existing clients through additional value-added service offerings such as fraud prevention products, cybersecurity, authentication, as well as encouraging merchants to grow their transaction volumes organically.”
- “Subsequent to the balance sheet date, management decided to take the necessary steps to initiate a simultaneous wind-up and liquidation of the 100% owned subsidiary Cybersource Spain S.L. entity (see note 15).”
- “The entity Cybersource Spain S.L. which was a 100% owned subsidiary of Cybersource Ltd was officially closed and liquidated in November 2025, and the balance in investment in subsidiary related to this company has been reduced to zero, after return of net liquidation assets to the parent.”
