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

- 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.”
Significant events
- “Turnover increased by 18% to £11.2m, this exceeded forecasts for the second consecutive year. Following a comprehensive financial review, gross profit margin improved to 33% (FY24: 28%), resulting in a 37% increase in gross profit to £3.7m (FY24: £2.7m).”
- “During FY25 we increased ECMO market share through the US launch of the CMO8 oxygenator. UKCA and EU MDR approvals were also obtained for the CMO8, and the first UK clinical use of the CMO8 occurred in September 2025.”
- “Chalice is proud to be among the first companies to achieve full MDR approval across its product range, a testament to the expertise of our regulatory and quality teams. Active pursuit of FDA registration for additional products will enable further growth opportunities in the US.”
