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

- “The company has seen a surge in natural refrigerant heat pump activity, principally through the selling of Clade's manufactured products, but also through the installation of heat pump systems. Clade's strategic move from a predominantly refrigeration based business (by turnover) to a predominantly heat pump based one has been realised in 2024/2025.”
