Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company continues to report an Operating Profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 and trades in both a positive net asset and net current asset position. From an operating perspective the Company has generated a net cash surplus over the year of £7m as can be seen by the reduction in the Long Term Loan amount owed to Group undertakings. This cash surplus was remitted to the CeramTec Group throughout the year in accordance with the CeramTec Group treasury policy agreement. At 31 December 2024, the Company was solvent and is expected to remain profitable for the foreseeable future.”

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
