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

- Auditor
- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- 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 up to 19 March 2027.”
Significant events
- “The Company launched the ICE Commodity Traceability Service ('ICE CoT') in August 2025.”
- “In April 2025, the plaintiffs filed a petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court for it to review the decisions of the lower courts to dismiss the complaint. The petition was denied in June 2025, ostensibly ending all legal proceedings in this matter.”
- “On 19 January 2026, the LBMA Gold Price was specified as a "significant benchmark" under the EU BMR.”
- “On 2 February 2026, the European Securities and Markets Authority ('ESMA') granted recognition to the Company as a third-country benchmark administrator under the EU Benchmarks Regulation ('EU BMR').”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
