Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “In 2024. Direct Link faced a challenging year. Profit before tax was significantly down compared to 2023, while revenue declined by 13% year-on-year. These results were primarily driven by a shift in strategic focus, which led to changes in the company's operating model and a reduction in international business mail volumes, alongside a slower-than-expected ramp-up in eCommerce volumes.”
• “The company has initiated a strategic restructuring programme, investing in key areas to support future growth. It is expected to benefit from the new strategy, revised business model, and the accelerated transition from Business Mail to eCommerce markets in the near term.”
• “A renewed focus on cost control, operational efficiency, and targeted sales initiatives is supporting performance recovery. With new business onboarding in the second half of 2025, the company anticipates a stronger financial performance by year-end.”

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
