“During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company's operations generated a loss after tax... The Company is dependent on, and contributes to, the continued success of the Amazon.com, Inc. group... The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue as an operational business for the future, being twelve months from the approval of the financial statements (until February 2026)... The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”

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
