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 | 2019-12-31 | 2020-12-31 | 2021-12-31 | 2022-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | — | — | — | — | -43.3% | -12.7% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | — | — | — | 11.7% | 3.4% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | — | — | 12.48x | 42.70x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | — | — | -214.92x | -197.94x |
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.

“During 2024 an $80m Series C fundraise was completed. Existing cash resources are sufficient to fund the group's planned activities for a significant period, including at least twelve months from the date of signing. The Directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore conclude that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
