Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “2024 sales dropped back slightly (-2.5%) on 2023, although the order book carried forward into 2025 was stronger due to good orderflow across November and December.”
- “Ekornes continues to focus on a cost control mindset which has ensured the business makes a healthy profit despite the slight fall in revenue, with EBIT up by 0.5%.”
- “Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £2,250,000.”

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
