Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company recognised a net profit after taxation of US$208,922 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: net loss after taxation of US$66,809 thousand) and is in a net asset position of US$6,527,528 thousand (2023: net asset position of US$4,928,765 thousand) and is in a net current asset position of US$1,606,869 thousand (2023: net current asset position of US$734,899 thousand). As a result, in the opinion of the directors, the Company is considered able to pay its debts as and when they fall due because the surplus net assets are expected to be sufficient to cover expected cash outflows over the foreseeable future.”

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
