Significant events
- “During the year ended 30 September 2024 the CPI Group saw an decrease in the volumes in the traditional book market.”
- “Run lengths remained broadly in line with the prior year and re-print activity was low.”
- “The company will continue to invest in the most appropriate technology to keep pace with the market changes.”
- “The company and the wider CPI group continue to monitor it's cost base in order to mitigate pressure from market price reductions and increase in material costs.”
- “The principal risks of the business revolve around the wider CPI group's ability to maintain and process a high order intake, high quality production to pre-agreed deadlines and management of costs and overheads in a highly competitive environment. The increase in orders coupled with reducing run lengths is a key challenge for the industry.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
