Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2022-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | — | -6.0% | -6.3% | -5.4% | |
| Interest cover | — | — | -90.56x | -87.50x |
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
- “Subsequent to the balance sheet date, it was identified that the Company has surrendered tax losses over a number of years to fellow group undertakings for £nil consideration without sufficient distributable reserves to support the surrenders. The Company has now received legal advice in relation to this matter and has taken appropriate measures to address and remediate the distributable reserves position by implementing various reductions of share capital after the balance sheet date to return the Company back into a positive distributable reserves position.”
