Ratios

Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

Ratio Trend 2019-12-312020-12-312021-12-312022-12-312023-12-312024-12-31
Return on capital employed -35.4%-34.0%
Current ratio 0.55x0.55x
Interest cover -2.32x-1.64x

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.

Written confirmation has been provided to confirm that support is available to the company for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.
