Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-29 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | 105.7% | |
| Net margin | 136.5% | 64.3% | |
| Return on capital employed | 26.3% | 9.7% | |
| Current ratio | 1.35x | 4.77x | |
| Interest cover | 13.07x | 6.37x |
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
- “A record £67,312,000 was spent on acquisition of new farms and investment in the expansion of the existing estate.”
- “A revaluation of the agricultural estate took place in the period and this had led to an overall increase in valuation by £12,543,000.”
- “the company has refinanced its £100m loan facility that was due to be repaid in August 2026 with a new £280m loan facility now with a maturity date of August 2027 with options for two 1-year extensions.”
- “On 14 June 2025 three sales agreements were exchanged to acquire certain breeding, rearing and hatchery assets of P.D. Hook (Group) Limited together with the entire shareholding of Hook 2 Sisters Limited, which will lead to a fully integrated agricultural supply chain in the wider Legal Group. The proposed completion is August 2025, but is subject to regulatory clearance. To enable this acquisition a new £70 million facility has been made available to the company by the current lender group to draw from on condition regulatory clearance is obtained.”
