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 & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Ernst & Young LLP
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“After making due enquiries and considering the impact of the macroeconomic environment, geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing cost inflation, the access to funds, potential downside scenarios, cross guarantees with fellow members of the UK Group cash pool, and strength of the ultimate parent undertaking, Veralto 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. These considerations included the impact of these factors on the company, as well as the wider UK and Veralto Corporation group. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.”
