Going concern
Affirmed

“After making due enquiries and considering the challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment in which the company is operating, the strength of the company's balance sheet and cash position, the availability of the Fortive group cash pool and strength of the Fortive group and the ongoing trading position, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operation and meet it's liabilities as they fall due for the going concern assessment period to 30 June 2026. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

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
