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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The UK business posted a 8.6% increase in invoiced sales, against an ongoing tough economic backdrop and following very significant price inflation which has impacted volume across the market.”
• “A fourth consecutive year of cost prices increases have led to record grocery inflation and impacted volume.”
• “The war in Ukraine continues to affect raw material and energy costs.”
• “Poor Harvests and growing global demand have also driven record increases in the price of cocoa.”
• “Additional government legislation around HFSS came into effect in October 2025 and this will see further restrictions imposed on advertising all products in scope.”
• “The current unprecedented increase in the cost of cocoa has impacted the confectionery market significantly in 2025. Guylian along with other manufacturers had to deliver a big cost price increase in January, which has ultimately been passed on to consumers through higher retail prices. The attendant volume decline will hopefully stabilize in 2026.”
