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 start of 2024 saw the continued impact of the turmoil in the Red Sea increasing the freight costs due to the journey taking the container ships around Africa to avoid the risks of the Suez Canal. The largest impact was experienced in September and October when we experienced freight cost increases of up to 5 times the prior year's prices.”
