Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 100.0% | 100.0% | 100.0% | |
| Return on capital employed | 0.0% | 0.0% | — | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 0.1% | 0.1% | 0.0% | |
| Interest cover | 7.80x | 2.10x | 3.14x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. 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. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. As dividends are only declared to the extent that sufficient income has been received, the Directors consider the risk to operating as a going concern as remote. Additionally, from a liquidity perspective, the Company is party to the M&G Group's Contingency Funding Plan which enables the Company to access funding in a stressed scenario. For the above reasons the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
