Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, through the group's centralised treasury arrangements, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Those forecasts are dependent on the ultimate parent company, Sulzer AG, not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due to the group, and providing additional financial support during that period, and previous periods. The support sought and received from Sulzer AG is legally binding. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and consequently have prepared 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
