- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing whether the financial statements of the Company should be prepared on a going concern basis, the Directors have considered the current trading performance, budgets, current market conditions and the longer-term outlook of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Directors' assessment covered the period to 30 April 2027. If the Company requires assistance to meet its financial obligations, Amentum Holdings LLC would be able to provide support to the Company.”
Significant events
- “The Jacobs Group ("Jacobs") successfully completed a strategic restructuring this year, involving the spin-off and merger of its Critical Mission Solutions (CMS) and Cyber & Intelligence government services businesses with Amentum. This resulted in the creation of a new independent, publicly traded company.”
- “On 8 March, 2024, the Directors undertook a capital reduction by way of a solvency statement and passed a special resolution in accordance with Section 641 of the Companies Act 2006. Accordingly, the Company has reduced its share premium in full and credited the profit and loss reserves by £9,725,000.”

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
