Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Noting the considerable financial resources available to the company, alongside the company's access to Galderma's global cash pooling arrangement, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, covering a period of at least 12 months from the issue of the financial statements. Therefore, they have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
