Significant events
- “Strategic decision made in Q4 2023 to exit the wealth management space and focus fully on professional and institutional clients, executed in Q1 2024. This reduced revenue but savings in Cost of Sales and Admin expenses offset the loss, leading to increased Profit before tax.”

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
