- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The board has reviewed forecasts and further information that has reassured it that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate cash resources to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months after the date on which the report and financial statements are signed. The UK parent company, PDC Brands UK Limited, has a loan facility provided by its parent company, Parfums de Coeur Ltd. This loan facility was extended in August 2024 and is now due for repayment in December 2027. A letter of support has also been obtained from Parfums de Coeur Ltd confirming its intention to provide any other financial support needed such that the UK Group will remain a going concern for 12 months from the date of signing the accounts. For these reasons, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “In 2024 sales were £58.1m equating to 2.8% growth compared to 2023. All brands outperformed the market in 2024 and we grew ahead of the UK economy despite challenging market conditions. Our European business continued to go from strength to strength as we expanded into new countries with our brands.”
- “Gross margin grew 2% in the year driven by improved FX compared to the prior year and favourable freight costs year on year.”
- “In the reporting period the Company demonstrated a increase in Scope 2 emissions - this is due to the increase in electric vehicle usage in the portfolio. The transition can also be seen in the Scope 3 vehicle emissions, which has reduced compared to the previous year.”
- “An appreciable portion of the Company's purchases are made in US dollars and, to protect the value of these purchases against currency fluctuations, dollar purchases are covered by forward foreign exchange contracts. There were forward contracts totalling $1.95m in place at 31 December 2024 (2023 - $8.45m).”
- “Certain members of the Company have been awarded share appreciation rights in the ultimate parent entity. At the year-end, 1,950 units (2023 – 1,950) had been granted with a stated value of between $964 and $1,142.”
- “The Company has guaranteed the credit agreement of Parfums Holding Company Inc. an intermediate parent company. The debt is secured by a charge over the assets of the Company.”

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
