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

Significant events
- “On the finalisation of a consultation on the future of the Grangemouth site, which began on 29 February 2024 and concluded on 15 April 2024, the decision was made to transfer manufacturing at the site to another FUJIFILM company. Production at the Grangemouth site ceased on 2 August 2024 and the site began the process of being fully decommissioned.”
- “During the year the company received a series of capital injections from FUJIFILM Corporation: on 17 June 2024 the company received a capital injection of £95.0m; on 20 September 2024 company received a capital injection of £3.0m; on 14 March 2025 company received a capital injection of £3.0m; These amounts were used to settle, in full, an outstanding loan balance of £89.8m from another group company and the remainder of these monies are being used for the day to day cashflow needs of the company and facilitating the orderly cessation of manufacturing at the Grangemouth site”
- “Up until January 2025 (when the last sales of ink occurred), the principal activity of the company was to provide inkjet printing services. This principal activity is now, as at 31 March 2025, discontinued and is in the process of being decommissioned.”
- “During the year, the company launched a royalty-based revenue stream, which now represents its new principal activity for ongoing operations.”
