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 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | -40.8% | 27.2% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 5.5% | 6.1% | |
| Current ratio | 5.18x | 7.91x |
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. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Significant events
- “The overall financial surplus is due to high income from legacies despite more activity at higher costs. Looking forward we do not expect legacy income to be as high and there to be a deficit.”
- “The plans for the new combined airbase and head office continue to progress with realistic expectations that building will start at the beginning of 2026.”
- “We saw the return of Devon Air Ambulance organised events, with our Plymouth Abseil. This event was kindly supported by the Royal Marines and involved brave participants abseiling down the walls of the citadel, which raised a fantastic £25,000.”
