Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

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

Going concern
Affirmed

“After making enquiries and preparing projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period to 30 September 2026. As its key customer, the company is reliant on the continuance of its parent company, WP Engine, Inc. WP Engine, Inc. has provided a parental support letter which states that it will provide financial support and the directors have assessed that WP Engine, Inc. has the ability to provide this support. The directors made detailed enquiries, including confirmation of the strong liquidity position announced by WP Engine, Inc. and review of the latest financial results including the latest financial statements signed on 30 April 2025. After making these detailed enquiries, the directors are confident that WP Engine, Inc. has sufficient resources to enable it to provide financial support. The directors consider that the going concern assumption is appropriate have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. This assumes that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence through meeting its liabilities as they come due.”
