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
- “In August 2023, whilst exploring the best way possible to bring Great Wolf Lodge to the UK, including the potential of multiple resort locations, the company temporarily paused the development whilst it undertook a review process.”
- “Post year end, two new UK entities were incorporated within the group, Great Lakes Derbyshire UK Limited and Great Lakes Hampshire UK Limited.”
