Figures for the company (not the group); change is the latest year against the year before. “–” means the figure is not stated in the annual report. Revenue is not stated for 2025, 2026: smaller companies may omit it, and we do not derive it from other figures. Revenue is reported with a negative sign for 2019 and is therefore not shown; we do not correct a company's own figures. The register has no financial statements for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 (changed financial year or not filed).
