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
“The company disclosed a pre-tax profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 after deducting amortisation of its purchased intangibles, this is expected to continue going forward. The company is party to the Tungsten groups European cash pooling arrangement from which it can access cash to fund its operations if required. Its intermediate parent on 31 December 2024, Snow Midco Limited, also indicates its willingness to provide financial support to the company for the foreseeable future. The directors, having considered this and the financial position of the company for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements, have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.”

Significant events
- “On May 27, 2025, Tungsten Automation group detected disruptions on certain internal IT systems, which was determined to be the result of a cybersecurity incident. This incident was limited to Tungsten Automation group's internal IT systems. Upon detecting the incident, Tungsten Automation group immediately engaged third party experts to assist with the investigation into the incident. Tungsten Automation group also notified law enforcement and applicable authorities. No access to any customer or partner environments occurred and therefore, no customer or partner production data was impacted as a result of this incident.”
- “On November 12, 2025, the company entered into an agreement with Tungsten Automation Europe SPV BV ('European SPV') a fellow subsidiary company, to sell its customer invoices to 'European SPV' as part of the Tungsten Automation Group cash management policy. European SPV will use these customer invoices as collateral to obtain third party financing as part of the group cash management policy.”
