Significant events
- “The company acknowledges the UK High Court's ruling in June 2023 in the case of Virgin Media Limited vs. NTL Pension Trustees II Limited, which found that certain historical amendments to a previously contracted-out final salary pension scheme were invalid without actuarial certifications. This ruling was appealed, and in July 2024, the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision. The company, along with the fund administrators, is evaluating the potential impact of this ruling. As it is currently not possible to estimate any impact, no adjustments have been made to the defined obligation recognized in the financial statements.”

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
