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

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

• “SCA Care's financial performance reflects a reduction in income, particularly from local authorities, falling outside the top 10 providers after care framework recommissioning.”
• “The loss of several substantial packages negatively impacted the 2024 budget position, against a backdrop of significant shortfalls in social care funding nationally.”
• “Southampton City Council narrowly avoided Section 114 bankruptcy and is undergoing substantial restructuring alongside Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board.”
• “Mobilisation of the new extra care service in New Milton experienced a four-month delay, launching in April 2024 instead of January 2024, but quickly became fully occupied.”
