Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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

Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company has had a satisfactory year and there are no significant changes in business activities expected in the foreseeable future. The Company provides research and development services to other Bumble Inc. entities and therefore is reliant on Bumble Inc.'s ongoing support. The Company has obtained a letter of support from Bumble Inc providing the support and financial backing of Bumble Inc. to meet its financial liabilities as they fall due until a period of 12 months from the date of the approval of the balance sheet. Accordingly with the provision of this letter and based upon their assessment of the ability of Bumble Inc. to provide this support in addition to enquiries of the Directors of Bumble Inc., which indicate that it is Bumble Inc.'s intention to continue to provide financial support to the Company and to provide sufficient funds to the Company for these purposes, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and Financial Statements.”
