Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“Taking account of the above risks, and the capabilities and strategies of the company, together with the resources afforded by the global HORIBA Group and having prepared and reviewed future projections, the directors are of the opinion that the business not only has adequate resources to meet its current and future obligations but is well placed to deliver further improved performance in the coming years. Accordingly, the directors are satisfied that the Going Concern assumption is a valid basis for the preparation of these Financial Statements.”

Significant events

• “Following a customer dispute the company provisioned £3.4m to cover projected revenue losses, project completion and legal costs. As a result of this and the sales reduction, there was an operating loss for HORIBA UK Limited for the year of £3.6m compared to the operating profit for 2023 of £1.9m.”
• “In 2024 The HORIBA Group entered the new 5-year management plan MLMAP'28. MLMAP'28 strategically moves the group from an analytical instrumentation supplier organized by business segment to a market solutions provider organized by fields.”

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
