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 | 9.1% | 9.0% | |

| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 61.3% | 54.7% | |
| Current ratio | 1.36x | 1.48x |
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. Sector-distribution context coming next.

“After making all relevant enquiries regarding financial position and performance in the year and related considerations, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the signing of the financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and the financial statements.”
