Risks management discussed

  • Financial: Impairment charges on intangible and fixed assets arose from exiting resort operations in Asia. Source

Earlier plans management reported on

  • Not stated: The headline states that fiscal 2026 guidance was reaffirmed; the release gives no status against it. Source
