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 | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 7.4% | 7.1% | |

| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 29.5% | 31.1% | |

Significant events
- “In December 2023 there was an incident relating to the flooding of the Thames Tunnel which cost NRHS around £2.9m in the form of Schedule 8 payments. An insurance claim has been made in respect of these costs. Discussions over the claim remain ongoing at the time of signing the financial statements. The claim has been treated as a contingent asset in the financial statements.”
