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

• “Volumes sold in 2024 were behind 2023. The lubricants market remains highly competitive while market demand remains suppressed. This has led to slightly lower sales revenues and margins over 2023. Inflation-related overhead cost increases, particularly in personnel expenses and additional digitalisation, have impacted on our cost base.”
• “The company supports the local community and has held local charity events in the past. The company encourages long term and short-term work experience assignments from local schools and from other Fuchs group companies throughout the globe. The company has undertaken energy saving initiatives as part of their wider environmental policy, a key project being the reduction in use of plastic containers and replacing them with a more recyclable and environmentally friendly alternative. This has now saved over 1,800 tonnes of plastic since commencement.”
