Evolving best practice in annual reporting: An AI-assisted perspective
Annual report season is around the corner. Over the next few months, issuers will be knee-deep in drafting, aligning numbers with narrative and shaping the sections that investors actually use.
As teams lock into this year’s timetable, we looked back at recent practice to see what has really changed. We ran an AI-assisted review of annual reports from issuers on the AEX over the last three cycles, 2022 to 2024, analysing both text and visual content. Our aim was to understand how storytelling and disclosure are shifting and to draw out what good looks like for the season ahead. The themes reflect a broader international trend, providing an analytical window into the future of annual reporting best practice.
Finishing out the first year as a public company – pitfalls to avoid
Companies put enormous effort into getting to IPO day. The deal completes, the photo is taken and real life begins. Those first twelve months are not a victory lap but form a credibility window in which the market decides whether the equity story and the numbers hold up, as well as whether the leadership team can thrive within a publicly-listed entity. Private valuations are insulated from daily noise, listed prices are not. While volatility, sector rotations and macro headlines all play a part, most post-IPO underperformance is driven by things the company can control.
The changing face of activism in Europe
Activism has travelled a long road from the pension-fund discipline of the 1980s, through the governance mainstreaming of the 1990s and the hedge-fund expansion of the 2000s, to the post-COVID focus on portfolio shape and operating performance. The European version today is quieter in public and firmer in private, with alliances that mix local institutions and global capital with outcomes that lean towards board refresh, capital deployment and disciplined execution. The focus has shifted towards more local players, more negotiated tactics and proposals that link directly to value creation rather than theatre. The implication for boards is clear: arrive with a coherent equity story and defensible capital choices, or someone else will write the plan for you.
