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

- 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
- “During the 2024 financial year CLM Group Ltd expanded its core activity to pursue a growth strategy via diversification into fire testing, BIM and consultancy.”
- “Overheads grew from £5.9m to £6.9m. Profitability deteriorated and the April 2024 accounts showed sales of £25.7m and £0.4m EBITDA.”
- “During the 2025 financial year, sales in the majors and remedial business streams continued to grow at good profit levels, fire doors sales and profitability fell as Home Group and Ealing work volumes fell quicker than anticipated and sales halved from those values achieved the prior year. The business also suffered from 3 clients going into receivership. The ISG administration removed circa £2m of work that was considered secure from the order book. Overheads cost increased as CLM invested in further growth, but sales volume was lower than anticipated.”
- “Performance worsened in the first half of FY25, an EBITDA loss of £0.3m was reported on sales of £13.8m, this put considerable pressure on cashflow.”
- “In November 2024, CLM reversed the diversification strategy to concentrate on core markets and work scope to return the company to profitability. The CEO was put on gardening leave and the chairman returned to the CEO role. The following strategy has been implemented to return the business to profitability and sustainable growth.”
- “In March 2025 CLM completed the installation of its new furnace facility. In April 2025 we sold our interests in the furnaces. The terms of the deal have seen CLM clear £1m profit after all existing Lombard funding was repaid.”
- “Feb 25 was the first profitable month for 7 months, and the most profitable month since Oct 2023. The Feb 25 period showed revenue of £2.6m with a GP of £782k, NP of circa £200k with overheads of £582k. March and April 25 continued this trend with similar figures.”
