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 | -93.7% | -99.9% | -349.0% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 54.6% | 71.1% | 121.2% | |
| Current ratio | 2.71x | 1.80x | 0.92x | |
| Interest cover | -55.07x | -29.70x | -28.49x |
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.

“At the end of December 2025, the Group had available liquidity of €2.1m and undrawn credit lines of €10.2m in April 2026. After preparing different scenario and forecasts on the level of activity and revenues due to the uncertainties linked to the risks described on pages 16 to 22, and especially the technological risks, the Directors believe that the Group is well positioned to manage its finances and other significant risks satisfactorily and that the Group will be able to operate within the level of its facilities for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from the approval of the financial statements.”
