Balance-sheet signals
Year-on-year changes in filed balance-sheet items. They can hint at momentum (or investment) but are not revenue or profit and must not be read as such.

- Headcount
- ▲2%

- Deferred income

Deferred income is reported together with accruals in this filing (“accruals and deferred income”), so it is an approximate signal only.
