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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -59.7% | — | |
| Net margin | -26.1% | — | |
| Return on capital employed | -15.8% | -37.7% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 32.3% | 37.5% | |
| Interest cover | -181.14x | -19.33x |
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 Company's strong balance sheet and financial position continues to be an assurance for any unexpected wave of sudden changes, as well as the 'Letter of Support' signed by the parent company. The Letter of Support is a commitment from Swissquote Bank Ltd (the "Parent") that they will provide financial support to the Company such that the Company is able to operate as a going concern and to settle its liabilities as they fall due.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
