Ratios

Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

Ratio	2023-12-31	2024-12-31
Return on capital employed	2.4%	-1.2%
Current ratio	4.61x	5.17x
Interest cover	2.09x	-1.36x

Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue.

Significant events

“C&W Group entered into a $1.5 billion principal amount Term SOFR + 3.25% term loan due 31 January 2032. The drawdown on the C&W Term Loan B-7 Facility was made at a 99.5% original issue discount. The net proceeds from the C&W Term Loan B-7 Facility were used to repay in full the C&W Term Loan B-5 Facility at par.”
“An increase and amendment agreement was signed in respect of the extension agreement on the C&W Revolving Credit Facility originally entered into in September 2024. In accordance with this increase and amendment agreement, including certain new commitments that were made available thereunder, a total of $460 million of commitments under the C&W Revolving Credit Facility (i) had their maturity date extended to 15 April 2029, effective upon the refinancing of the C&W Term Loan B-5 Facility (which occurred subsequent to 31 December 2024), and (ii) will automatically have their maturity date extended to 31 January 2031 upon the occurrence of the refinancing of the C&W Term Loan B-6 Facility.”
