Going concern

Affirmed

“In 2024, geo-political and economic uncertainty continued. The cost-of-living crisis, tightening financial conditions globally, Russia's conflict with Ukraine, and the conflict in the Middle East all weigh heavily on the global economic outlook. The Company has no physical operations in Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East, but as situations continue to evolve, the unpredictable nature of any conflict means uncertainty on the full extent and duration of any business or economic impact will always exist. Nevertheless, the business activities of the Company have continued to be operational with no disruption to the principal activities of the Company. In addition, CME Group Inc., the ultimate parent, has confirmed its ability to provide financial and operational support to the Company and assist in meeting the Company's liabilities as and when they fall due which is valid for 13 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. For this reason, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The directors anticipate the closure of its branches in Belgium, Italy and Spain in the first half of 2025.”
• “Effective from 1 January 2024, all of the UK staff previously compensated by the Company were transferred to a fellow Group company. Their stock based compensation plans were also included as part of the transfer. The transferred staff are now part of a shared service model delivering services to multiple Group companies. As a result of this, the Company's staff costs in 2024 declined significantly.”

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
