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

“To inform the basis of preparation of these accounts, the director has considered cash and profit forecasts of the UK&I Group for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, based on the facts they have as at the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts include a severe but plausible downside scenario which models a deterioration in gross margin as a result of operational performance, a downturn in revenues due to contracts of key clients not being renewed and the under recovery of inflation. The forecasts indicate that the UK&I Group will continue to be resilient in the current macro-economic environment. Routine peaks in cash requirements during the trading cycle will be funded from an overdraft facility with the parent company, Sodexo S.A., if necessary. In a worst-case scenario, the Company could draw upon additional funding from its ultimate parent company to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due during the 12 month period from the signing of these accounts. Sodexo S.A., which currently has a strong credit rating of Baa1 from Moody's Investors Service, has indicated its intention, by a letter of support, to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company during the going concern assessment period. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the director acknowledges that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Based on these analyses and facts, the director believes that the Company will be able to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least the twelve month period following the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
