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. 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 group's and the parent 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
- “A key positive outcome for the year was the successful launch of the Wavemaker G5 in May 2025.”
- “The reduction in revenue reflects a period of wider market volatility, with customers maintaining a cautious approach to expenditure and some projects being deferred.”
- “Strategic investment in the Asia Pacific and Americas regions has continued, with local subsidiaries strengthening the Group's ability to support customers and expand market reach.”
- “the business is proactively implementing a targeted cost reduction plan, designed to enhance efficiency while avoiding operational disruption and preserving the integrity of its development roadmap.”
