    • 52-week periods: 30 June 2025 to 28 June 2026 and 1 July 2024 to 29 June 2025. The income statement prints costs (cost of sales, expenses, finance costs, tax) without brackets; they are stored negative (sign negated). The statements share pages side by side (PDF p7, p8); page footers show '14 / 34' and '7 / 14', suggesting the pages come from a longer results booklet.
    • Cash at the end of the period in the statement of cash flows is net of overdrafts (2 845; 2025: 3 723) and differs from cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position (3 099; 2025: 4 291).
    • No auditor's report on the summary is printed; the summary states: 'The Summary of the Audited Group Results have been extracted from the audited Group Annual Financial Statements, but is not in itself audited. The Group Annual Financial Statements were audited by KPMG Inc., who expressed an unmodified opinion thereon.' (note 16, PDF p13; also note 1, PDF p10). KPMG Inc. also issued unmodified assurance reports on the pro forma and constant-currency information, which are not printed (PDF p12).
    • Group statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and statement of changes in equity are printed in full line items (PDF p7-p8), with segmental analysis (p9) and selected notes (p10-p13). Most notes to the full statements (e.g. borrowings maturity, tax reconciliation, lease notes) are not printed.
