The figures relate to the reporting period specified by the company, rather than to the October trading session. Where prior-year figures are supplied, the comparison refers to the corresponding company reporting period. This distinction is important because market quotations and published accounting results describe different points in time.

These operating measures form part of the company's description of its underlying property or service business. They measure a specific reported activity and should be read with the relevant definitions and qualifications in the presentation. The release does not establish that any single measure caused the subsequent share-price movement.

It operates a vertically integrated construction and sales model and described a development pipeline exceeding ten years.

The development programme is subject to the steps identified in the release, including customer arrangements, planning, delivery and available capital where applicable. A stated target, identified site or opportunity should not be treated as a completed project unless the company describes it that way.
