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

“Post year end, the group has refinanced the senior facility and the super senior revolving credit facility. The new senior facility of £97m with Carlyle replaced the previous facility of £95m with Pemberton, with a 5-year tenure from 20th August 2025. The Group has secured favourable interest rates vs previous facilities with higher covenant thresholds. The refinance secures the Group's ability to trade and long-term future.”
