Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors 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 20) provides enhanced financial stability for the entity. Under the terms of the agreement in respect of the sale of the Kantar Media Group to H.I.G. Capital, which was completed on 1 August 2025, the acquiror Greenwich Bidco Limited; a UK based holding company; confirms its current intention and present policy to provide the support necessary to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.”

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
