“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company continues to meet its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash reserves and other financial support available within the Arup Group. The directors have obtained assurance of financial support from Ove Arup Holdings Limited and other relevant entities within the Arup Group, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements. Management of Arup Group have performed analysis on future projections of financial performance and cashflow and even after considering the downside scenario, it is satisfied that Arup Group can take sufficient mitigating action, where necessary, to ensure that resources remain sufficient over the forecasting period and that it has adequate resources to continue operations and provide financial support to the Company for the foreseeable future.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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
