- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The director consider that the going concern assumption upon which these financials have been prepared continues to be appropriate. Forecasts and cash flow projections have been produced, covering the period of 15 months from the date of signing these financial statements. These demonstrate the Company has sufficient funding to meet its obligations as they fall due. Furthermore, the sale to H.I.G. Capital (note 15) provides enhanced financial stability for the entity.”
Significant events
- “On 17 January 2025, the Kantar Group announced the proposed sale of Kantar Media to H.I.G. Capital. The transaction allows the Group to focus on its strategic objective of becoming the indispensable brand partner to the world's largest consumer brands. The sale process was completed on 1 August 2025.”
