Significant events
- “As further disclosed in note 22, in March 2025 the Trustees of the Metso UK Limited Scheme purchased a further bulk annuity policy (known as "buy in"). On 6 May 2025, the company issued 2 Ordinary shares with a nominal value of £0.000000345 each for total consideration of £3,500,000 to its immediate parent, Metso Finland Oy. This resulted in share premium of £3,500,000. Further, in September 2025 the company received a further intercompany loan of £800,000. The purpose of these funding injections was to primarily address the shortfall in the company's defined benefit pension scheme and to facilitate a buy-in, thereby securing the future obligations of the scheme and the benefits for employees.”

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
