“Oterra UK Limited closed down the UK factory operations based in Holbeach during FY2023. However, where customers are based in the UK, sales will still go through the UK entity and sold as traded items, made at and purchased from intercompany global factories. The existing traded business in the UK has not been affected by the factory closure and continues to grow year on year.”

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
