- “Subsequent to the financial year end, the Group initiated a redundancy process as part of a strategic review of its operations This process is ongoing and is expected to result in a reduction in headcount across certain departments”

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
