Significant events

“During 2024, the Company entered into a UK regional cash pooling arrangement. The Company takes the role of a cash pool member where any cash surplus or deficit from a predetermined limit is swept to or covered by the cash pool leader and as a result both parties enter into an intercompany loan agreement.”

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
