“Having assessed this the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the future being at least the next 12 months from signing of these financial statements. Moreover, the Company's parent company has confirmed that it will provide support to enable Festool UK Limited to meet its financial obligations for a period of at least 12 months after the approval of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There has been a slight contraction in Turnover compared to the previous year. In 2024, a major UK power tool dealer went into administration, leaving a significant gap in our distribution network for 2025. For many of our dealers, this presented an opportunity for them to individually achieve significant growth and earn higher than usual volume discounts.”
- “The Company is well positioned to follow its strategic direction with further development of cordless products to increase market share. We continue to expand our range of products with innovative market launches already scheduled for throughout 2026.”

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
