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.

Significant events

• “The prolonged conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East continues to have an on-going ripple effect on supply chain, resulting in increased costs and risks for the business. The geopolitical, financial and logistical turmoil during the year has therefore contributed to an uncertain macroclimate which the Company has had to navigate and react to.”
• “The cost of running a defined benefit pension scheme is subject to significant uncertainties, such as investment returns, price inflation and pensioner mortality.”
