Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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

Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have received a letter of support from VF Corporation., the company's ultimate parent, that it will provide any necessary funds to the Company for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements to settle any obligations of the Company as they fall due. As a result, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
