First-pass take

Homeware/consumer goods company with zero AI exposure; core revenue flat (1%) and organic online sales down 1%, obscured by Salter acquisition (£16.3m of FY22 revenue). Margin expansion from higher-margin M&A and supply chain normalization, not structural leverage. FCF (£2.7m) insufficient to cover £4.8m dividend.
