“The Directors have considered the application of the going concern basis of accounting The Company obtained a letter of support from Olsten (UK) Holdings Limited which consists of unconditional financial support to the company for the period of 12 months from the date of approval of financial statements Olsten (UK) Holdings in turn has a letter of support from Adecco Group AG, its ultimate parent company which consists of unconditional financial support to the company for the period of 18 months from the date of approval of its financial statements Furthermore, the Directors have considered the ability of Adecco Group AG to support the Group and company Adecco Group AG generated operating profits (EBITA before one offs) of ",30, " million and free cash flow of ",32, " million in full-year 2024 Adecco Group AG is expected to remain solidly profitable and cash generative during 2025, benefiting from a flexible cost structure and robust through-the-cycle cashflow Adecco Group AG also has a strong balance sheet and significant liquidity headroom As at 30 June 2025, cash on hand amounted to ",36, " billion, net current assets were ",37, " billion and net assets were ",38, " billion Adecco Group AG has access to a ",39, " billion committed long-term revolving credit facility, which remains undrawn and is not subject to any financial covenants From a liquidity perspective, the UK is part of Adecco Group's cash pool and benefits from the strength of group cash reserves Group net debt was ",40, " billion at 30 June 2025 The Net Debt to EBITDA ratio, excluding one-offs was ",41, " in line with management expectations Based on these assumptions, the Directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cause significant doubt about the ability of the group and company to continue as a going concern or its ability to fulfil its financial obligations Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements”

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
