- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the reasons mentioned in note 2. The Company has a letter of support in place from its ultimate parent company, Paramount Global which states that, should it be required, Paramount Global will provide financial support to the Company for additional funding or to enable it to discharge its liabilities as they fall due for the support and, on that basis, have concluded that the application of the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “On August 7, 2025, Paramount Global and Skydance Media, LLC ("Skydance") became subsidiaries of a new holding company, Paramount Skydance Corporation, pursuant to a transaction agreement entered into on July 7, 2024. Also on August 7, 2025, certain affiliates of existing investors of Skydance, including entities controlled by members of the Ellison family, and affiliates of RedBird Capital Partners, purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of National Amusements, Inc. ("NAI"). Upon the closing of these transactions, NAI (renamed Harbor Lights Entertainment, Inc.), which had previously been the controlling stockholder of Paramount Global, became the controlling stockholder of Paramount Skydance Corporation.”

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
