- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company Directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, placing reliance on the letter of support, as from the perspective of the Company, its operations, risks and uncertainties are integrated with those of the Group and so having reviewed the Group's plans and available financial facilities, including the modelling of a severe but plausible downside scenario and available mitigating actions, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “As of 31 May 2024, the Group, of which the Company is a part, had external borrowings denominated in EUR and USD, attracting interest at Reformed Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA), Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), and Euro Short-Term Rate (ESTR) respectively. On 13 September 2023, the Group successfully refinanced its external debt by borrowing in USD and switching to SOFR plus a margin as the new interest rate benchmark, thereby overcoming the challenges posed by the cessation of LIBOR.”
- “There has been minimal impact on the results of the Company due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and consequent imposition of sanctions on Russian financial institutions and Russian individuals who have significant influence on our customers.”
- “Subsequent to the reporting date, the Finastra Group experienced a leadership change with the appointment of Chris Walters as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective from 6 January 2025. This transition follows the departure of Simon Paris, who served the Company with dedication and vision. Chris brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective that aligns with our strategic goals.”
- “During the year ended 31 May 2024, as part of a wider group refinancing plan, Finastra Holdings Limited issued ordinary shares to Finastra Group Holdings in settlement of the Finastra Group Holdings intercompany receivable from Finastra International Limited in the amount of USD 6,510,566 and for USD 634,943,341 transferred to Finastra Holdings Limited resulting in an increase in the cost of the Company's investment in Finastra Holdings Limited of USD 641,453,907.”
- “In June 2023, in the Virgin Media Limited v NTL Pensions Trustees II Limited case, the High Court ruled that scheme amendments relating to section 9(2B) rights are void without a confirmation from the Scheme actuary in accordance with section 37 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993. On 25th July 2024, the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's ruling.”

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
