Significant events
- “In December 2025, the Group entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for the sale of certain assets related to the Verimatrix cybersecurity business operating under the XTD (Extended Threat Defence) brand. The agreement was signed prior to the reporting date but is subject to closing conditions, including regulatory consents. The closing conditions were met on or before 4 February 2026 and accordingly the transaction was completed on 5 February 2026, at which date the relevant assets were sold to Guardsquare.”

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
