Net margin is left blank for Dec 2025: the profit includes the result of a business the company has discontinued, which the revenue does not, so the two make no margin.

Return is price growth plus the average dividend yield. Change in P/E is (1 + price growth) / (1 + earnings growth) - 1, so the parts compound rather than add. Return a year is the share as it traded across the demerger; the next column is the same return with the demerger reinvested, empty for a window with no demerger in it. Earnings growth over 1, 3 and 5 years includes one-off items (exceptional items and the result of businesses sold or closed) of more than a tenth of the profit of the year to Mar 2026.
