“The Directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements after assessing the financial forecasts of the Company for the period to 10 December 2026. The Directors have prepared a base case and a severe but plausible downside scenario and under both scenarios the Company is forecasting to have positive cash inflows and have the ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due to 10 December 2026.”
Significant events
- “On 14 September 2025 a proposal to close Hologic Ltd.'s manufacturing facility was approved. As a result of the closure manufacturing will cease at the Manchester site by 31 December 2025. This will result in 139 roles being made redundant along with the closure of the manufacturing building.”
- “Subsequent to year end, on 31 July 2025, as part of group restructuring, a decision was made to transfer all manufacturing operations currently undertaken by Hologic Limited to the San Deigo diagnostics manufacturing facility (owed by GenProbe Inc.).”

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
Heads up: a more recent set of accounts has been filed but isn't yet reflected here — the figures above are older than the company's latest filing.
