Year-on-year

FY2022 → FY2023 · period ending 2023-12-31 vs 2022-12-31

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 2020-12-312021-12-312022-12-312023-12-31
Operating margin 3.4%-22.4%
Net margin -101.0%
Return on capital employed -2.5%-21.7%
Gearing (liabilities / total assets) 218.4%51.0%
Current ratio 0.46x1.96x
Interest cover 0.32x-10.58x

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.

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the directors consider that the company presently is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which takes into consideration the availability of the financial support from Vice Europe Holding Acquisition Limited, the immediate parent company of Vice UK Limited. The directors have considered the forecasts of the group and have had discussions with the group management to arrange for necessary funds required by the group.”
