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
- “A significant non-adjusting event occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date in October 2025. In order to facilitate a return to shareholders, a Group company completed a capital reduction procedure in relation to the share premium on their A and B preference shares (£485,170,139). This ensured sufficient distributable reserves to enable a £40,000,000 return to the A preference shareholders via a partial redemption of capital along with a partial payment of accrued dividends.”
