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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on current trading performance, and the sensitivity and reverse stress testing performed, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements and accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “With the aim of strengthening ITAB's position and complementing the Group's current offering, ITAB Shop Concept AB (publ) agreed to acquire Financière HMY for a cash consideration of MEUR 320 at the end of September. HMY is a leading European supplier of shop fittings, checkouts and store design to the retail industry and had sales of just over MEUR 541 in 2023. With a final and definitive share purchase agreement entered into in early December 2024 and the other conditions for the transaction fulfilled, the acquisition was completed on 31 January 2025.”
