“On 1 March 2024 the Group was acquired by J.D. Power and as a result of the transaction the Group's external borrowings were refinanced and replaced with a loan granted by Project Boost Purchaser LLC. Repayment of this loan is due at maturity on 1 March 2034. Having considered both the interest and terms of this loan together with the forecasted trading performance and key metrics (including liquidity, profitability and operating cashflows) of the Group for the period to June 2026, the financial statements are prepared on the assumption that the company is a going concern.”

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
