Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | -184.2% | -81.1% | |
| Return on capital employed | — | -41.3% | -17.2% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | -26.9% | — | 0.0% | |
| Current ratio | 0.59x | 0.52x | 3.22x |
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.

“Following a financially challenging 2024, the financial position of the charity has improved during 2025. The financial stability of the organisation has been, for a number of years, dependent upon the successful sale of a large part of the estate to a local developer. The decision to sell off the estate began in 2018 with completion on 8th April 2025. Finalisation of the sale has provided financial security of the organisation for the foreseeable future and the organisation is exploring various options to secure additional income to further stabilise the finances for the long-term sustainability of the charity. The Retreat continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
