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

- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 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
- “Our turnover in 2024 was higher which is mainly attributable to increased metal prices and very good results acieved in our Ceramic business.”
- “The Umicore Group will revise their strategic plan which will be announced in 2025 and Umicore UK will embrace these values as well as looking for efficiencies for growth to provide sustainable and innovative service to all our stakeholders.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
