Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, notwithstanding the outcomes of the financial modelling, which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company is dependent for its working capital on funds provided to it by Springer Nature AG & Co. KGaA, the Company's ultimate parent undertaking. The directors have received a letter of support from its parent undertaking that if the Company does not have sufficient funds, then monies would be made available for it to settle any liabilities as and when they fall due for the foreseeable future and to at least 30 June 2026 which is the formal going concern period modelled by management. Furthermore, the directors have obtained assurances of the parent entity's ability to stand behind the support provided during the going concern period. In practice certain of the directors are also members of the Group management board and have obtained access to Group forecasts and other data. This together with the regular monitoring by Group Treasury of the Group's short-term and mid-term liquidity gives the directors assurance as to the Group's ability to stand behind the cash pool facility.”

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
