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

Significant events
- “The Group delivered growth in revenue and completions, however, market conditions continued to be challenging, particularly for Open Market sales. The cost forecasting issues that were identified in our South Division in the last quarter of the year significantly impacted adjusted and reported profit before tax.”
- “The 2023 comparative figures have been restated to correct the error that arose as a result of the cost forecasting issues in the South Division.”
