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
- “In October 2025 Skanska UK Plc agreed a pension buy-in solution with Standard Life with regards to The Skanska Pension Fund and The McNicholas Plc Retirement Scheme.”
- “The recent Middle East conflict is evolving rapidly and its impact on Skanska UK is unclear. We have no operations in the region, but higher energy and material costs could affect some projects; contractual pain/gain and inflation mechanisms will mitigate most of the risk.”
