- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The management of the Company performed an assessment of the impact of the war in Ukraine and conflict in Israel... Consequently, no impact on the going concern assessment was identified in this respect. The management will continue to monitor the macroeconomic situation and revisit its conclusions when facts and circumstances change. The Directors of Hitachi Vantara Limited believe that, on the basis of the future business plans, cash flows and a formal letter of support from Hitachi Limited, they have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue as a going concern for a period to 31 December 2026 which is consistent with the Company's going concern assessment. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Turnover declined primarily due to the divestiture of the Digital Solution business unit, which was transferred to Hitachi Digital Services UK Limited on 1 April 2024. The average number of employees declined by 220, due to the separation of Hitachi Vantara's Digital Solution entity.”
- “On 01 April 2024 Hitachi Vantara Limited sold its Digital Solution business unit to Hitachi Digital Services UK Limited as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Digital Services LLC. The transfer of assets and liabilities from Hitachi Vantara Limited to Hitachi Digital Services UK Limited was performed at carrying cost (NBV). Cash consideration was received.”
- “In March 2025 the Company experienced an IT outage caused by an external party compromising the Company's IT systems temporarily, however all key systems were fully operational again as of approval date. The incident had no material financial impact.”
- “There are no subsequent events between 31 March 2025 and the date of approval of these financial statements that have not been adjusted or disclosed in the financial statements.”

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
