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

- “It was decided in November 2024, following a fire at, but not impacting the Antech Southfield's location itself, not to reopen the day lab and re-purpose associates and assets in centralising testing options.”
- “All the successes during 2024 have been during a period of market uncertainty due to the ongoing Competition and Markets Authority investigation into the UK Veterinary Market and wider economic turbulence”
