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 1 October 2025, the Company acquired the trade and certain assets and liabilities of its fellow group undertakings: Accenture Song Production Studios Europe Limited... and Accenture Song Production Studios UK Limited... These transfers formed part of a group reorganisation to streamline operations and simplify the group structure.”
