Significant events

• “It has been another year where inflationary pressures have continued to impact consumer spending and general costs for the business. This along with lower than forecasted membership growth saw profits drop marginally year on year however we delivered an improved net profit to turnover ratio in the year. We achieved this by restructuring the staff team and focusing on full price sales and margin improvement.”

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
