Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-29 | 2026-01-04 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 21.8% | 43.3% | 54.7% | |
| Net margin | — | 39.2% | 44.9% | |
| Return on capital employed | 4.9% | 8.9% | — | |
| Current ratio | 1.69x | 0.31x | — | |
| Interest cover | 0.04x | 16.42x | 19.29x |
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.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors of Greene King Limited have a reasonable expectation that the group has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the period of at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements. The directors of the company have made enquiries of the directors of Greene King Limited to confirm that they are satisfied the financial support will be available and accordingly continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The reduction in pub numbers relates to disposals during the period.”
- “In 2025, with the support of the board, Pub Partners continued the growth of its franchise business supported by the roll out of its Hive and Nest pub franchises reaching a milestone of 100 franchise sites in total, including nine sites in Scotland for the first time.”
- “The House of MOBO pub was also opened in South London to celebrate Black culture.”
- “After the balance sheet date, in March 2026, the Greene King Limited group introduced a new estate strategy focused on building an efficient system to focus investment, maximise profitability and support each site's growth to ensure the business is best set up to execute its 2030 group-wide strategy. This included evaluating the entire estate to recognise the most suitable sites for each brand. As part of this, c.300 managed sites were identified that would be better served under different models, with half of these sites expected to be converted to leased and tenanted, or franchise venues with the other half evaluated for sale over the medium-term.”
