Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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

“The directors have, at the time of approving these financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In reaching this conclusion, they have prepared trading forecasts for an appropriate future outlook period and are satisfied that the company has sufficient financial resources to continue to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. It is noted that the company is a member of the Axalta group cash pool arrangement meaning that additional funds can be made available to the company as and when required. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
