Dan WaldenGUEST
Not, not because like, like, like human beings are good and you should meet them, but like, oh, y- you know, we're, we're forming leaders, so they need to be...

So with that, I'll pause and I'll hand over to Dan to give you a deep dive on the financials.

Dan WaldenGUEST
So as Lee said, we're very pleased with our performance again this year, another year of excellent progress, driving improved financial performance and a stronger balance sheet.

Dan WaldenGUEST
Our results demonstrate the significant momentum and the substantial step change that we've delivered as a result of the initiatives that we've pursued.

Dan WaldenGUEST
EBITDA, operating profit and PBT are all up year on year, demonstrating the early impacts of the strategy that was set out in June 24. and net cash increased to £4.4 million, reflecting a free cash flow of £3.5 million after £5.1 million of capital investment.

Dan WaldenGUEST
The momentum in our sales performance is strong and is supported by a growth in our customer base, which increased by 25%.
