Audit & accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors assert the going concern principle in these financial statements given the positive cashflows generated and unfettered access to the company's cash held in the group cash pooling facility which enables the directors to discharge all liabilities as and when they fall due and for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “As of the 1 January 2024, the company was no longer engaged in a reverse factoring arrangement with the customer Zooplus SE, with the customer returning to direct payment to settle the accounts receivable. The decision was taken following a material increase in the cost of the programme.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
