Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2019-04-30 | 2020-04-30 | 2021-04-30 | 2022-04-30 | 2022-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | — | — | — | — | 4.8% | 2.1% | |
| Net margin | — | — | — | — | — | 2.8% | 1.1% | |
| Return on capital employed | — | — | 0.7% | 5.2% | — | 25.6% | 9.8% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | — | — | — | 1.25x | 1.39x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | — | — | — | 4.14x | 3.23x |
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.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “Since the previous year-end, McCann Group Ltd experienced a significant ransomware attack on our central servers, leading to the loss of critical accounting and payroll data.”
- “During this period, our response to the Ransomware attack typified how we have continued to maintain our consideration for the likely consequences of our decisions for the long term, the need to act fairly between members of the company, and the company's wider relationships.”
