Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-09-30 | 2024-09-30 | 2025-09-30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | -5.8% | -15.7% | -7.0% | |
| Current ratio | — | 1.17x | 1.12x | |
| Interest cover | -0.57x | -0.47x | -0.14x |
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.

“Urban&Civic Waterbeach Limited (the Company) is reliant on funding provided by Urban&Civic plc and fellow Group undertakings (the Group). Given Urban&Civic plc has provided a letter of support confirming that it shall continue to provide such support for the foreseeable future, and for a period of at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements, the Directors consider it reasonable to rely on the continuation of this financing in making their assessment of the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.”
