Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company has net current assets of £5,371,857 at 31 December 2024 (2023: £12,164,875). The Company participates in a cash concentration arrangement with its fellow subsidiaries, Omnicom Finance Limited and Omnicom Financial Services Limited, the group’s UK treasury operations, under which bank balances are cleared to zero on a daily basis either by the Company depositing cash with Omnicom Finance Limited/Omnicom Financial Services Limited or by Omnicom Finance Limited/Omnicom Financial Services Limited borrowing cash with the Company. The Company's access to borrowings under the cash concentration arrangement is not limited as long as these borrowings are acquired in the normal course of business and are made in accordance with the Omnicom Group Inc Grant of Authority and includes a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Omnicom Finance Limited is able to make this commitment because Omnicom Finance Limited is a co-borrower with Omnicom Finance Inc. and Omnicom Capital Inc. under certain group bank facilities which are more fully described in the Omnicom Group Inc. financial statements filed on Form 10-K and available at www.omnicomgroup.com. The directors have made a going concern assessment which covers a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, taking account of severe but plausible downside scenarios including future impacts of economic uncertainty, that indicate the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due throughout that period, which the group facilities described above, as well as the company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe it will not do so. 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 therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
