Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-01-31 vs 2024-01-31

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

“Lindsell Train Limited operates in a global market, impacted by changing market dynamics and economic uncertainty. Inflation rates and continuing geopolitical issues may significantly affect earnings in any given period. Whilst the Company's future AUM and profits will be affected by these market shifts together with its relative investment performance track record, the Board has considered the current cash position of the Company and its cash flow forecasts and remains confident that the Company will be able to meet its ongoing obligations as they arise for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. As a result, the directors continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
