Ratios

Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

Ratio Trend 2023-12-312024-12-312025-12-31
Operating margin 8.9%
Net margin 9.3%
Return on capital employed -127.1%12.4%-255.9%
Gearing (liabilities / total assets) 34.0%46.3%
Current ratio 1.47x2.67x2.69x

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.

“We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements, which sets out that under the cash flow forecast, the group and parent company requires certain anticipated near-term cash inflows, including amounts expected from commercial arrangements, product sales and IP related milestones. In addition to these cash inflows there will be a need to raise additional funding before the end of 2026 in order to continue operations throughout the forecast period. These anticipated cash inflows and future financing arrangements are not secured at the date of approval of the financial statements.”
