Excel and PDF downloads

Many investors complain that they have to waste time re-keying information into their own spreadsheets, or that not all of the data from the annual report is available.

This is easy to rectify in the online world by providing a downloadable Excel data sheet to support the charts, tables and financial statements and notes in the document. Few, if any, companies make this level of data available.

Likewise, investors often want to download a PDF of the report. These are now commonly available – though not all companies offer the option of PDFs of individual sections to make it simpler for users to print only part of the document. If they run out the whole report, they bear the printing cost that the company would formerly have paid.

What investors want:

• Numbers available for every chart and graph.
• Numbers that are easy to cut, paste and download.
• Ability to print out required sections without having to print the whole report or search through a lengthy PDF.

What we’ve done to make it work:

• Provided links to downloadable spreadsheets next to every chart.
• Made the spreadsheets available throughout the online report and in a separate download centre.
• Provided PDF versions of the printed report, both as a complete document and split into sections.
