Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“Following a consideration of forecast data, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, under the condition of parental support which has been confirmed until 31 March 2027. The company closely monitors and carefully manages its liquidity position, providing regular rolling cash flow forecasts which are analysed by the Group Treasury function in respect of short-term capital requirements. After going concern and liquidity analysis of the group company, the directors have satisfied themselves that the parent company has sufficient funds and facilities to provide the financial support. Therefore the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Post successful combination of businesses between GfK GmbH [previously GfK SE) and Nielsen IQ ("NiQ") in 2023, the company has launched a series of transformation initiatives, optimizing its workforce, modernizing its technologies and competencies and linearising its businesses to get the maximum synergy out of the combined entity in our pursuit towards "delivering the Full View™™ to fuel our customers' growth strategies."”

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
