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 | 2019-11-21 | 2020-12-31 | 2021-12-31 | 2022-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | — | 76.4% | — | — | — | |
| Return on capital employed | — | — | 0.2% | -0.0% | -0.0% | -0.0% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | — | — | — | 0.0% | 0.0% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | — | — | 23.17x | 81.21x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | 186.22x | -33.01x | — | — |
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.

“The Company is an investment holding company, with net assets of €232,172,183 (2023: €211,117,586) and net current assets of €2,072,183 (2023: €2,117,586). After making enquiries and considering the position and prospects of the Company, including the impact of the geopolitical environment, on the Company's underlying portfolio of investments; the Directors acknowledge that the fair value of the investment in Iridium Hermes Roads S/L is exposed to market risks but considers the investment to be ultimately based on toll road arrangements, thus mitigating exposure. Therefore the Directors believe that the Company is deemed to be sufficiently robust to remain operational for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”
