- Going concern
- Affirmed
“These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. Current economic conditions continue to provide a relatively stable environment for M&A and capital markets activity. However, challenges such as elevated interest rates, inflation, geopolitical tensions, and shifts in global trade policy contribute to a degree of uncertainty.”
Significant events
- “As part of a group restructuring during the year, affiliate entities Houlihan Lokey EMEA, LLP, Houlihan Lokey (Corporate Finance) Limited, Houlihan Lokey Advisory Limited and Houlihan Lokey PFG Advisory Limited (formerly Triago UK Limited) transferred all business operations to the Company.”
- “The directors have carefully reviewed the financial position and future requirements and determined that a dividend of £30,000,000 should be declared and paid from the Company following the approval of these financial statements.”
- “Subsequent to year end, on 1 April 2025, as part of a rationalization of the Houlihan Lokey group structure, affiliate Houlihan Lokey Valuation Solutions Limited (formerly Prytania Solutions Limited) transferred all business and operations to the Company at book value.”
- “Subsequent to year end, the Board proposed a dividend of £30,000,000, subject to approval.”
