Significant events
- “On 28 March 2025 Applicable Ltd commenced a period of consultation on redundancy with employees from teams across the whole business, with a view to reducing the cost base. The outcome of the consultation was that 12 employees from the UK and 3 from the USA have left the business in the following months. Our sub-contracted team in Malaysia was also reduced by 4 heads. By the Autumn of 2025 we have seen the resulting reduction in the cost base contribute a significant improvement in business results and a return to profitable trading in the second half of 2025/26.”

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
