neutral · A punctual record breaks
This company filed 3 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 31-12-2024 was due by 31-07-2025 and was filed on 22-08-2025, 22 days late. Weigh it accordingly: a break into the 1-to-90-day band measures 1.41% abnormal legal state, below the 1.66% market average. It is a change in behaviour, not evidence of elevated risk.
