Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “2024-25 was defined by a period of significant creative achievement and strategic growth for Scottish Ballet. The company ended the year with a modest operating surplus of £358,196.”
• “Artistically, Scottish Ballet showcased its creative leadership with a diverse range of productions including the world premiere of Dickson Mbi's Twice Born, revivals of David Dawson's Swan Lake and a refreshed production of The Nutcracker, and a sold out season of A Streetcar Named Desire at Sadler's Wells.”
• “The company's international reputation was further amplified with a highly successful tour to New Zealand.”
• “Scottish Ballet spearheaded the first Healing Arts Scotland (HAS) festival in collaboration with the World Health Organization, Jameel Arts and Health and the EIF.”
• “Scottish Ballet became the first UK ballet company to adopt the cutting-edge Green Producer Club tool to measure and reduce the environmental impact of touring and productions.”
• “The winter tour of The Nutcracker (December 2024 to February 2025) was a festive triumph, attracting 69,924 people across 56 performances and achieving 127% of target occupancy.”
• “Scottish Ballet developed a pioneering new feature film, These Violent Delights, due for release in 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
