Significant events
- “Whilst 2024 was expected to be a challenging year given political and economic conditions, it proved to be much more testing than anticipated. Ongoing international conflict continued to impact market stability, which together with a change in government and subsequent policy decisions, impacted inflation, interest rates, and ultimately consumer confidence.”

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
