Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | -197.8% | — | 100.0% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | 110.0% | 95.2% | |
| Current ratio | 0.02x | 0.00x | 0.05x | |
| Interest cover | -7.72x | -5.19x | — |
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
- “Included in the other debtors balance above is recognition of a £8,078,898 receivable in relation to MCIL payments recoverable from TfL. This is the result of an agreement with TfL in relation to the construction of the Canary Wharf Crossrail station.”
- “During the year, the loan from Canary Wharf Investments (RSNQ) Limited to the company was cancelled. This entity was formerly the immediate parent of the company. The loan cancellation was executed as part of a restructuring that resulted in the immediate parent of the company changing. See Note 15 for further details.”
- “A restructuring was undertaken during the year to simplify the historic North Quay structure and interpose a new holding company in CW NQ Holdings Limited. The company underwent a capital reorganisation in the process, which included an equity injection at a share premium of £21,265,806, and a reduction of share capital to create distributable reserves, such that the company's share capital was reset to £1, and a capital reserve was created.”
- “Following a restructuring took place on 29 September 2025, the company's immediate parent undertaking has changed from Canary Wharf Investments (RSNQ) Limited to CW NQ Holdings Limited. In turn, on the same date, Canary Wharf Developments Limited transferred its shareholding to CW NQ Holdings Limited, which is now the Company's immediate parent undertaking.”
