“The directors of the company have concluded that the global Alkegen Group will be able to provide financial support to Lydall Industrial Filtration Textile Manufacturing (EMEA) Limited.

Significant events

• “Turnover decreased by £2.5m (2023: decreased by £3.9m) to £11.2m (2023: £13.7m).”
• “The decrease in turnover is primarily due to market conditions returning to more normal levels. Raw material prices decreased in 2024 compared to 2023, and those savings were passed onto customers, to ensure the most competitive pricing was provided.”
• “Gross Profit Margin: Decreased to 13.6% in 2024, from 19.5% in 2023”
• “Utilities costs increased in 2024 compared to 2023 due to rising inflation costs on energy.”
• “Loss before tax: £0.3m in 2024, from Profit before tax of £1.1m in 2023”
• “The increase of £0.4m in the businesses administrative expenses has also contributed to the loss before tax for the year.”
• “The directors are pleased with the 2024 financial performance given the challenges faced in the global economy in the year, notably issues surrounding inflation, and feel confident that the performance can improve over future years.”

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
