Significant events

• “2024 proved challenging for our business due to unforeseen events. The previous years had already taken a toll on our business, with the number of microeconomic issues that have affected our market. At the start of the year, and due to the price deflation, our customers faced slow-moving and high-priced inventory, which was much higher than the replacement cost. Additionally, the market demand shrank due to imported price inflation caused by unfavourable FX rates and hard currency shortages. This had an impact on our customers in Middle Eastern and African countries.”
• “The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to exert a substantial impact on global markets, although the initial shock has lessened over time. While certain markets have developed strategies to adapt to these evolving dynamics, the conflict continues to generate considerable instability and volatility, particularly within the realms of commodity trading and supply routes.”
• “United States trade policies significantly impact businesses by influencing international trade and affecting costs, competition, and market access. The size of the tariffs and the manner in which they are being implemented are creating daily turbulence in global trade, especially for countries that have active trading relationships with the US. It is anticipated that this will lead to price inflation in the US, potentially prompting an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve as a precautionary measure to curb inflation.”
• “The recent and ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel is being carefully monitored by the directors. Whilst this has not as yet had a significant impact on our business, this does create additional risk and uncertainty in some of our markets, supply routes and with our trading partners in the Middle East.”

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
