Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-01-31 | 2025-01-31 | 2026-01-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -147.9% | -115.1% | — | |
| Net margin | 62.7% | — | — | |
| Return on capital employed | -3.3% | -2.9% | -3.0% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 0.4% | 0.3% | — | |
| Current ratio | 21.19x | 33.52x | 49.49x |
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.

- “NIWM, in partnership with Belfast City Council are creating a dedicated memorial to the people of Belfast who died during the Blitz in 1941.”
- “It is anticipated that the Memorial will be unveiled in spring 2027, when the revamped Cathedral Gardens open, featuring a large multi-use events space, a play area inspired by nature and a kids' interactive digital play zone.”
- “£50,000 was transferred from the capital development project to the gallery redevelopment project during the year. Transferred funds are earmarked for NIWM's future contribution to the National Lottery Heritage Fund grant awarded to improve museum displays, community engagement and oral history work. Permission to start this development project was signed off in February 2026, with completion expected before November 2027.”
