Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 151.8% | 209.0% | |
| Current ratio | 0.25x | 0.23x | |
| Interest cover | -2.40x | -3.32x |
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 company is dependent on continuing finance being made available by parent undertaking WSP Global Inc. to enable it to continue operating and meet its liabilities as they fall due. WSP Global Inc. has significant financial reserves at its disposal and continues to be profitable and cash generative. The parent undertaking has agreed to provide sufficient funds to the company for those purposes. The directors believe it is therefore appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
