Going concern
Affirmed

“The company has net current liabilities as at 31 December 2024 of £4,422,000 and operates as part of a European Cash Pool operated with the Group. The company has prepared forecasts which extend through a period in excess of 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue to 31 May 2026. The ability of the company to access its cash deposits in the European Cash Pool throughout the going concern period to 31 May 2026 from the date of approval of these financial statements has been confirmed by the ultimate parent company, Lear Corporation, who in the unlikely event that this is not possible have further confirmed in writing their commitment to provide alternative financial support to assist the company in meeting its liabilities as and when they fall due during the going concern period. The directors have considered the financial position of the Group as set out in the condensed consolidated financial statements issued by the Group for the period ended 29 March 2025, which indicates $0.78bn of cash and cash equivalents, and $2.0bn in available borrowing capacity under a Revolving Credit Facility. As a result of the above, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
