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
- 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 group's and parent 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
- “Viola's Room, a new linear format production by the Company opened in May 2024 and extended its run through to December 2024.”
- “The success of Viola's Room led Punchdrunk to explore the potential of another new format which combines theatre and technology to create a live action video game.”
- “Punchdrunk invested in a prototype for this in 24/25 with a view to moving into production in 25/26.”
- “Key development continued on major co-productions (including mask shows and collaborations with existing IP) which form the backbone of the company's three-year pipeline.”
- “The foundational work undertaken in 2024/25 paves the way for the Company to be able to open four live projects in 2025/26 and continue to develop new opportunities for the future.”
- “The Company continued to pursue its community and talent development strands, including a workshop programme in South Korea.”
