Significant events
- “Sales revenue was 7% lower than in the prior year, largely reflecting a slowdown in capital equipment demand and the absence of a number of unusually large orders received in the preceding year. Despite the reduction in sales, a shift in sales mix combined with lower overhead costs resulted in a 7% improvement in operating profit, rising to £2,201 million.”
- “The company continues to prioritise innovative new product development and has made significant investments during the year. These initiatives are expected to positively impact revenue from 2026 onwards as we look to maintain technological advantage in our core markets.”

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
