“In June 2025, TUI AG, agreed to provide financial support to the Company in order that it can continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due, for the period of at least 12 months from the approval date of the financial statements. As with any Company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the Directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements they have a reasonable expectation that it will. As described in Note 2, the Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year-end the following post balance sheet event had occurred, which impacted the Company: On 21 March 2025, TUI AG refinanced the syndicated credit lines which were set to mature in July 2026. The syndicated credit lines were replaced with a new revolving credit facility which provides 1.89bn (€1.7bn cash and 0.19bn bonding) of flexible liquidity to the Group.”

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
