Going concern

Affirmed

“The company's business activities are profitable and cash generative. The company has a number of multiyear contracts with a number of businesses in a variety of geographical locations. Moreover, the company has the financial support of the group via central treasury function. These factors provide the directors with an expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”

Significant events

• “The business follows a cyclical pattern, largely influenced by the biennial IHF Men's Handball World Championship, which did not take place in 2024. Consequently, a decline in certain metrics was anticipated.”

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
