- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to remain active in commercial lending for the foreseeable future i.e. at least 12 months after the date of approval of the financial statements, with the directors having assessed the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern until at least 31 December 2026, and confirm that, in their opinion, the Company is a going concern.”
Significant events
- “On 5 September 2025, the Board agreed to comply with the policy to distribute the net profit for 2024 as a dividend to the owner. The directors of DNB (UK) Limited confirm that DNB (UK) Limited will meet all the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 for a legal dividend immediately after completion of the dividend distribution.”
- “On 24 February 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine with the effects being felt across the world, and impacting many industries including banking. As at the year end and since, the Company has had no credit exposure with any Russian counterparties and therefore the impact from the war on the lending portfolio has been minimal.”

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
