- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“We have assessed that the UK statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 for PMI Global Studio Limited should be prepared on a going concern basis. We made this assessment as PMI Global Studio Limited's business model is to provide global services to other Philip Morris International affiliates in line with signed "cost-plus" service agreements in place with affiliate companies. The "cost-plus" service agreement is critical to the future cash flows of the company and therefore the continued arrangement between PMI Global Studio and counterparties within the group is considered a key element in assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern. We have ensured that the affiliate entities have no intention to cancel these agreements until at least December 31st, 2026.”

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
