No date in this file is invented. Where a date is not announced it is shown as an ESTIMATE with the prior-year basis stated. A fabricated catalyst date is worse than an absent calendar.
Fiscal year ends 31 May. Reporting cadence over the last three years: Q1 in the second week of September, Q2 in the second week of December, Q3 in the second week of March, Q4/FY in the second week of June.
