“The company is in a net current liability position as at 29th June 2025 and has access to the collective overdraft facility which allows individual companies in the News UK group to overdraw subject to an agreed limit of £20 million, not being exceeded in aggregate. The overdraft facility is also guaranteed by News Corporation. The directors have considered the financial position and trading activities of the company, including forecasts, for the going concern assessment period to 31 December 2026 (the 'assessment period'). Given the utilisation of, and access to, the group facility indicated above, the ultimate parent undertaking, News Corporation (the 'Parent company') has provided a support letter indicating that they will continue to provide the financial support to enable the company to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due for the assessment period. ... After making due enquiries and considering the forecasts of the News UK group, incorporating the impact of global macroeconomic inflationary pressures, the general challenging market environment, access to funds through the group facility and the Parent Company support, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the going concern assessment period to 31 December 2026. These considerations include the company, as well as the wider News Corp group. Accordingly, the financial statements are prepared on the 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
