Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 51.5% | 46.5% | 61.9% | |
| Net margin | — | — | 99.0% | |
| Return on capital employed | 4.8% | 4.0% | 10.3% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 7.1% | 0.8% | 2.7% | |
| Current ratio | 14.10x | — | — |
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 directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for 12 months from the date of signing, with net assets of $1,804,000, and hence continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In June 2026, Comcast Corporation announced its intention to separate into two independent publicly traded companies through a tax-free spin-off of NBCUniversal and Sky comprised primarily of the Media, Studios and Theme Parks segments and the Sky businesses within Comcast Corporation's Residential Connectivity & Platforms and Business Services segments. The spin-off is expected to be completed in mid-2027, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including obtaining final approval from Comcast Corporation's Board of Directors, receipt of tax opinions and regulatory approvals and completion of financing arrangements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
