Significant events
- “The result for the year was a loss of £283.0m (2023: £0.2m profit). The loss in the year primary relates to a provision on the intercompany debtor due to the negative net asset position of the entity on a standalone basis.”
- “A capital repayment of £12.1m was received from Clarks Shoes Vertriebs GmbH. This has resulted in an impairment reduction of £2.1m following the reduction in the investment amount due to the capital repayment.”
- “An impairment charge of £13.9m was recognised during the year to reduce the value of the investment in C. & J. Clark International Limited, as losses incurred in the year meant that C. & J. Clark International Limited is in a net liability position.”

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
