“At the date of approval of the financial statements the directors have considered the continued challenges posed by the uncertainties of the ongoing war in Ukraine and Red Sea disruption and the resultant impact on business conditions in Europe. The business continues to be impacted by delays in the supply chain seen as a result of the disruption to shipping through the Red Sea and is working hard to maintain stock levels and availability.”

Significant events
- “In Q1 2025 the United States imposed new tariffs on goods entering the US market. There is limited impact to the Maui Bidco group, as they trade outside of the US. There is a level of impact to the Rather Outdoors US business. However, management has largely mitigated tariff risk through imposing price increases and reducing marketing spend, advertising cost and reducing travel costs in the US.”

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
