“After making due enquiries and considering the forecasts of the News UK group, incorporating the impact of global macroeconomic inflationary pressures, the general challenging market environment, access to funds through the group facility and the Parent Company support, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the going concern assessment period to 31 December 2026. These considerations include the company, as well as the wider News Corp group. Accordingly, the financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.”
