- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the Balance sheet date the Company had net current assets of £47,784,000 (2023: £11,912,000). EBITDA margins are anticipated to remain stable due to transfer pricing arrangements. For this reason, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “In 2024, the LEGO Company Limited's revenue grew 12% to £502m up from £449m in 2023. Gross profit for 2024 was up 20% to £187m compared with £156m in 2023, driven primarily by the higher revenues. The company recorded a £35m profit for the year compared to a loss of £4.5m in 2023. The loss in 2023 was driven primarily by income tax related to prior periods and current period. The issue has been fully solved and settled and will not be impacting current or future profits.”

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
