Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-04-30 vs 2024-04-30

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 2021-04-302022-04-302023-04-302024-04-302025-04-30
Operating margin -143.0%
Net margin -147.8%
Return on capital employed -43.4%-75.7%
Current ratio 10.77x6.49x
Interest cover -15.86x-84.52x

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.

Going concern
Affirmed

“Astroscale Holdings Inc., being the ultimate holding company of Astroscale Ltd has provided a letter of support to the company confirming that it will provide access to required financial resources so that the company can continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due during the going concern period. The directors have satisfied themselves that the ultimate holding company is able to provide financial support and assist in meeting the company's liabilities during the going concern period. The Directors note that Astroscale Holdings Inc. had a further successful fundraising process which concluded on 19th May 2025 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange which continues to demonstrate the ultimate holding company's ability to provide financial support to the company during the going concern period. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
