Significant events

• “Current assets as a percentage of current liabilities... decreased... principally due to lower inventory as the prior year was higher than usual to cover the shutdown of our fluids plant in Q1 2024 for refurbishment.”
• “In its strategic plan the Board decided to accelerate new product development by investing in extra R&D resources.”
• “Another strategic objective was to expand distribution channels in certain territories around the world.”

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
