Significant events
- “The film and television broadcast sector experienced another challenging year to 31 May 2025 as productions and general activity worldwide continued to show stagnation. The strike action by writers and actors, primarily in the USA, had a significant adverse impact on the entire sector and this caused several customers to pause production and equipment acquisitions.”

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
