Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a good expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and continues to have full support from the Swegon Group. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
