Significant events
- “Business conditions were relatively positive resulting in a 6% increase (2024: 3% drop) in revenues over the prior year. Inflation and macroeconomic headwinds continue to pose risks to the market that we operate in and our clients. We have set ourselves up in the best way possible to work through these challenges.”

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
