Significant events
- “Turnover for the year has decreased by £40.0m in comparison to the prior year. This is as a result of the cyclical nature of capital expenditure in the mining industry.”
- “Exceptional items in the year totalled £nil (2024: £1.5m income). No exceptional items arose in the current year. Details of the exceptional income during the prior year is included in note 4.”
- “The main component of other comprehensive income is a £2.1m actuarial gain (2024: £9.6m actuarial loss) in respect of the defined benefit scheme.”
- “On 24 February 2022, the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The company has subsidiaries in both Russia and Ukraine and has considered the impact of the situation on the business.”
- “Management had previously assessed the recoverability of the Russian receivables and concluded that due to the impact of international sanctions it was not possible to recover all outstanding amounts. Accordingly, a full provision was recognised in prior reporting periods.”
- “As part of this transformation, the company exited the manufacture of Powered Roof Supports (PRS) during the financial year ending 31 March 2022 and now provides PRS solutions through strategic partnerships with specialised PRS manufacturers.”
- “Joy Global's total emissions are 36% lower than the previous year. This reduction is primarily due to the closure of the Worcester facility, which was the only site previously using gas, with all business operations now consolidated into the Manchester facility.”

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
