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
- “Other geopolitical events such as the war in Ukraine have impacted the inflationary environment in the UK, which in turn has driven a downturn in the UK economic outlook.”
- “The recently imposed US trade tariffs do not have any impact on the operations of the company as it does not export to the US, however if the UK were to impose retaliatory tariffs, this would have more of an impact on the company due to the raw materials being imported from the US.”
