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 | 2022-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -6.1% | 2.4% | 3.8% | |
| Net margin | — | — | -15.7% | |
| Return on capital employed | -3.5% | 1.6% | 2.6% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | 100.0% | 63.4% | |
| Current ratio | — | 0.00x | 1.31x | |
| Interest cover | -1.97x | 0.26x | 0.17x |
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.

“The forecasts indicate that, taking account of severe but plausible downsides and the effects of raw material and energy inflation on the operations and its financial resources, the Company is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. ... Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The 2023 annual pay award was not agreed and implemented by 2023 year end, this escalated into industrial action in January 2024 which resulted in a reduced production run rate throughout January 2024. Subsequently a two year pay award was agreed on 30th January 2024 covering the period June 2023 to June 2025, which put an end to the industrial action.”
- “There are no adjusting nor non-adjusting post balance sheet events which have an impact on these financial statements.”
