Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements disclose all matters of which we are aware that are relevant to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, including all significant conditions and events, mitigating factors and plans. The Company also has the intent and ability to take actions necessary to continue as a going concern and has obtained a letter of support from Graham Holdings Company (the ultimate parent company) which provides support for meeting our liabilities as and when they fall due, but only to the extent that money is not otherwise available to meet such liabilities. This support will take the form of cash injection or parent company guarantees where appropriate and the support has been provided for a minimum period of 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements.”

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
