Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end, there has been an outbreak of conflict in the middle east which has the potential to cause significant disruption to economic activity worldwide, and to many businesses and their operations, and although certain business segments face uncertain business conditions from 2026 Q2 onwards, which cannot be readily addressed with any certainty, the company remains confident that it is well positioned financially to deal with the crisis.”
