- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements is appropriate. 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 group's or the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the Consolidated Financial Statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In 2024 LabWare Europe's revenue increased. The percentage was lower than 2023 due to services revenue from our sister company LabWare Global Services (LGS) decreasing by more than £1.5M.”
- “In 2024 the German economy suffered causing a chain reaction all over Europe. Although this has not adversely affected our performance, the result has been the deferral of some projects into 2025.”
- “LabWare continued to invest in developing its infrastructure around Europe. We opened the new office in Malmo (moving from Rydeback) to offer a location with easier access to our team members and customers. We also started the process of relocating to a new office in Madrid that opened in 2025.”
