Hover or tap a figure for its formula and the values used – the names are the line names of the key figures below. Extracted automatically from the company's results announcements; check the source before relying on a figure. Not investment advice.
The statement exactly as printed in one results announcement – its own columns (the period and its comparatives), lines and headings, in the company's currency and units. Choose the report above; to compare several years, use Key figures.
Standardised line items in £m, comparable across companies – figures the company reported in EUR are converted to £ at the average rate of each period (balance sheets: at the date); when a later report restated a period, the later figure is shown and marked r (hover for the figure first reported). Italic = calculated (LTM, H2 = FY − H1); a year of other than 12 months is marked (15m). Hover a value for its source.
