Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-09-30 | 2025-03-31 | 2025-09-30 | 2026-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | 54.0% | 70.7% | 50.5% | |
| Return on capital employed | — | 0.6% | 2.2% | 0.6% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 1.2% | 0.4% | 0.2% | 0.9% | |
| Current ratio | 4.15x | 11.32x | 9.10x | 5.56x |
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 Directors are not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, having taken into account the liquidity of the Company's investment portfolio and the Company's financial position in respect of its cash flows, and investment commitments (of which there are none of significance).”
Significant events
- “Middle East war, leading to a critical energy supply shock.”
- “Russian assets in the portfolio continue to be valued at zero while extensive sanctions and restrictions on the sale of securities remain in place.”
- “Company was active in buying back shares during the period.”
