Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2021-06-27 | 2022-02-27 | 2023-02-27 | 2024-02-27 | 2025-02-27 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 24.7% | — | — | — | — | |
| Net margin | 27.0% | — | — | — | — | |
| Return on capital employed | 464.8% | — | — | 20.8% | 11.4% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | — | 1.80x | 1.60x | |
| Interest cover | 7.04x | — | — | 36.65x | — |
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.

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Since the reorganisation of the business in December 2020, product sales are now made via new entities and the company receives a profit share.”
