Significant events
- “The macroeconomic situation has deteriorated and geopolitical tensions are increasing, which together with a looming trade war makes it difficult to make predictions for 2025. In 2024, we replaced one of our gas boilers in the fall of 2024, which will reduce natural gas required for heating the facility in the winter months.”

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
