From Apr 2019 leases sit on the balance sheet: rent is charged as depreciation and interest instead, so operating profit and total assets step up with nothing about the business having changed. Borrowings here leave lease liabilities out. Lease payments were 0.9% of operating profit in the first full year.

Materials, employee costs and other expenses are shown for the years they add up to operating expenses; for the year to Dec 2017 they do not, so they are left blank. Operating expenses, operating profit before depreciation and operating profit after depreciation are left blank for the year to Dec 2016: the statement does not state its depreciation, which operating profit is worked out from, so operating profit is not given. Belonging to the company's shareholders is left blank for the year to Dec 2016: the filing's earnings per share does not match the profit it states, and cannot be multiplied back into the owners' profit because the company's periods around it state no share for other owners for the gap to belong to.
