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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | — | -1.2% | |
| Interest cover | -260.57x | -441.15x |
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.

- Affirmed
“The Company has net current assets and positive shareholder's funds as at 31 December 2024, and generated a profit for the period. The Company has sufficient cash and liquidity to meet ongoing working capital and capital expenditure needs for a period to 31 July 2026. However, to 31 December 2025, it is forecasted that the Company would have generated a nominal loss. As a result, S&P Global Inc., the ultimate parent undertaking, has provided a letter of support committing to ensure the provision of sufficient funds to enable the Company to meet its liabilities for a period until 31 July 2026, which is the going concern period as defined by the Directors.”

Significant events
- “On 15 May 2025, pursuant to certain cash pooling arrangements, the Company became the registered holder of one Note which is in the principal amount of USD 29,000,000 borrowed by S&P Global Limited.”
- “On 15 May 2025, a resolution was signed to approve the declaration of a dividend in specie of USD 398,764,265 to IHS Markit Group Holdings in the form of the loan notes receivable from S&P Global Limited (one of which is the USD 29,000,000 noted above) and IHS Markit UK Investments Limited.”
- “In July 2025, the Company elected to not partake in a funding round in one of its minority investments, VAKT. As a result, the value and recoverable amount of the investment has been assessed to be $480,000. The investment in VAKT has therefore been impaired to this amount, resulting in an impairment recognised of $3,450,000. This is considered a non-adjusting post balance-sheet event.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
