Significant events

• “The directors have undertaken a strategic review of the Company's operations, with particular focus on the long-term sustainability of the contract print business. During 2024, management actions have been directed toward reducing exposure to lower-margin contract printing, improving cost control, and supporting an orderly reduction in contract print volumes where these activities do not meet required return thresholds.”
• “Looking ahead, the directors intend to progressively wind down the Company's contract print operations, with strategic focus shifting toward more profitable non-contract business areas within the Group. Key priorities for future periods include: Continuing the reduction of contract print activities, particularly where margins do not support the capital and operational requirements of in-house production. Supporting the reallocation of production and fulfilment activities to alternative Group entities or third-party providers where appropriate. Reducing the Company's fixed cost base in line with lower contract print volumes. Evaluating the long-term requirement for on-site production, including the potential cessation of on-site manufacturing activities, subject to commercial and operational considerations.”

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
