Significant events
- “During July 2024, the Company contributed an additional £26,992,000 (equivalent of $35,000,000) to Koch Engineered Solutions (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd and £7,745,000 (equivalent of $10,000,000) to Koch Engineered Solutions (Shanghai) Co., Ltd in exchange for additional share capital.”
- “Management subsequently assessed these investments for impairment as indicators existed during the year. As a result of this assessment, an impairment loss was recognized, reducing the carrying amount of investments subject to testing to £26,276,000 at 31 December 2024.”
- “New orders secured in 2024 were £40,675,000, up from £17,031,000 in 2023. At 31 December 2024 outstanding backlog (secured orders not fulfilled) was £27,204,000 compared to £10,565,000 at December 2023.”
- “During April 2024, Koch Chemical Technology Investments Sarl made a contribution of £43,593,000 (equivalent of $55,000,000) to the Company in exchange for additional shares, which were issued at par value.”
- “During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company recognised an impairment loss on goodwill. The prior year comparatives have been restated to reflect the correction of an error, as the impairment indicators were present prior to 2023 and the impairment was recorded in the opening balance sheet rather than in the prior year profit or loss.”

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
