Significant events
- “PTC acquired the Institute of Publishing (IOP), a company limited by guarantee with charitable objectives (registration number 3872481), at no cost. As IOP had no trading activity or material financial impact during the reporting period, its results have not been included in PTC's annual accounts. As at 31 December 2024, IOP is not a registered charity but has sought external professional advice to apply for charitable status in 2025.”

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
