Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have carried out a going concern assessment. Forecasts through to year ending 2026 are prepared for DHL eCommerce UK Ltd. These forecasts support the assessment that the Company will continue to meet their obligations as they fall due throughout the period of at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements. The directors have also obtained a formal letter of support from Deutsche Post AG confirming its continued commitment to provide financial assistance to enable the company to meet its third-party liabilities as they fall due and not to call intra-group balances for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are approved. In addition, the directors note that the company, together with its immediate parent and subsidiaries, will become part of the Evri Group following completion of the acquisition announced in May 2025. This transaction is expected to further strengthen the company's long-term financial position. On this basis, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of issue of these financial statements and, accordingly, continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation.”

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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
