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 | 2020-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | -22.0% | 1.5% | |
| Net margin | — | -24.4% | -15.9% | |
| Return on capital employed | -8.1% | -22.7% | 1.5% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | 109.6% | 113.8% | |
| Current ratio | — | 1.20x | 1.30x | |
| Interest cover | — | -21.56x | 1.57x |
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.

- Affirmed
“The Directors have obtained written confirmation from the parent undertaking that it will continue to provide financial support to enable the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, the Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
