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 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | — | -25.7% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 15.6% | 20.5% | |
| Current ratio | 6.40x | 4.88x |
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.

“Although the Company has net liabilities payable within the next 12 months, the Company is performing in line with expectations and the demand for repayment to external parties and fellow Morgan Stanley Group undertakings would be met with the support of Morgan Stanley Group. In addition, the Company's ultimate parent undertaking and controlling entity, Morgan Stanley, has confirmed its intent to provide financial support to the Company to meet its obligations. Taking all of these factors into consideration, the Directors believe it is reasonable to assume that the Company will have access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Morgan Stanley (ultimate parent) is not entering into any new business onshore in Russia. Morgan Stanley's activities in Russia are limited to helping global clients address and close out pre-existing obligations.”
