“As at 31 December 2024, the current assets of the Company exceed its current liabilities by £139 million (2023 £129 million). The Company has a history of earning profits and achieving good margins. The Directors remain confident in the underlying demand for the Company's solutions, given the advantages of efficiency, risk reduction and cost reduction that they deliver to the user. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts to 30 September 2026 which indicate that, taking account plausible downsides on the operations of the Company and its financial resources, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. SmartStream Technologies Holding Investments Limited has also given a letter of support to its subsidiaries and confirmed its intentions to provide financial support as is necessary.”

Significant events
- “Following the appointment of the new Group CEO in September 2023, the shape and structure of SmartStream was reviewed and organisational changes were made to meet future challenges and opportunities, including a rebalancing and restructuring of the cost base, which contributed to an improved profit margın, which together with the increase in revenues resulted in Adjusted EBITDA increasing by £6 8 milllion from 2023”

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
