Significant events
- “client sign ups are improving following a period of disruption caused by Covid-19, with some benefits obtained from the behavioural shift of customers towards online ordering that has become more popular because of the pandemic impact. New customers are signing up to the company's 'net pay' system to automatically pay their invoices as they become due.”

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
