Going concern
Affirmed

“Based on their considerations and enquiries, the Directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for the period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Therefore, on the basis of their assessment of the Company's financial position and of their enquiries made of Bilfinger SE, the Directors have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of these 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
