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
- “The period covering 2024 and 2025 has been one of significant transition and strategic repositioning for Ducati Manchester and the wider group. Against a backdrop of challenging market conditions across the motorcycle retail sector, the business has taken decisive and, at times, difficult actions to ensure long-term sustainability, profitability, and growth.”
- “Key actions taken included: A deliberate reduction in overall stock holding, with a strong focus on eliminating overage and slow-moving inventory. A rationalisation of staffing levels and overheads to align the cost base with prevailing market demand. Tight control of stock age, ensuring capital was not tied up unnecessarily. A fundamental shift in trading focus towards used motorcycles, recognising stronger margins, faster stock turn, and lower risk compared to new bike volume dependence.”
- “A strategic decision was made to sell Ducati Stoke and reacquire Ducati Worcester.”
