Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 81.5% | 63.1% | 78.8% | |
| Net margin | 14.4% | 25.5% | — | |
| Return on capital employed | 5.5% | 7.0% | 13.6% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 18.9% | 24.8% | 48.4% | |
| Current ratio | 5.10x | 3.89x | 1.70x | |
| Interest cover | 6.54x | 54.55x | 2.83x |
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.

Significant events
- “On 22 April 2026, the Company's share capital was reduced by cancelling all but one of the issued ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and by cancelling the Company's entire share premium account. The reduction was made using the solvency statement procedure under section 642 of the Companies Act 2006. An amount of £523.7 million ($718.5 million) was credited to the profit and loss account of the Company in respect of the reduction in share capital.”
- “On 24 April 2026, the Company entered into a deed of release with Premier Oil UK Limited which set out the terms on which the Company agreed to release and discharge Premier Oil UK Limited from its obligation to pay or otherwise settle a liability of $836.2 million owing to the Company. At 31 December 2025, the Company has recognised an expected credit loss of $836.2 million in respect of this receivable balance. An amount of $836.2 million was charged to the profit and loss account on release of the receivable but this was fully offset by the reversal of the expected credit loss resulting in no net impact on the Company's 2026 profit and loss account. No current income tax arises on the release of the receivable balance.”
