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

“After making enquiries, the directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “For the year ended 31 March 2025, the Group had targeted a Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) of 0.36. TRIR includes lost time incidents, restricted workday incidents and medical treatment incidents. Although this target was not achieved, with a final TRIR of 0.38 being 0.02 higher than the target, progress has been made since the previous year (2024: 0.40).”
- “in the year ended 31 March 2025, the Grangemouth oil refinery stopped processing crude oil as it transitions to becoming an import terminal for finished fuels, which adversely affects the activity levels in Clydeport.”
