Method
- Total debt is borrowings and lease liabilities, current and non-current, before the deduction of cash. Under IFRS 16 every lease is on the balance sheet, depreciation includes that of right-of-use assets and finance costs include the interest on lease liabilities, so no lease cost or lease interest is added.
- Adjusted EBITDA adds share-based payments, and the impairment that the company reports with depreciation and amortisation, to EBIT and depreciation and amortisation. FFO deducts cash interest and cash taxes.
- S&P applies its table to its own adjusted figures, which also deduct surplus cash and adjust for pensions and other items, so the band of an S&P calculation can differ.
Liquidity and MaturitiesCash and operating cash flow against debt due within 12 months, capital expenditure and dividends.
Cash and operating cash flow against debt due within 12 months, capital expenditure and dividends.
These ratios have no value for the figures of this company.
Method
- Debt due within 12 months is current borrowings and current lease liabilities.
- Capital expenditure and dividends of the fiscal year are taken as those of the next 12 months. Undrawn credit facilities are not included.
Earnings QualityCash-flow accruals −5.5% · FY2026
Accruals and the cash backing of reported earnings.
Operating cash flow for fiscal 2026 exceeded net income attributable to the company by an amount equal to 5.5% of average total assets.
Interpretation. The profit came in as cash: operating cash flow was larger than net income. Profit backed by cash tends to repeat more than profit made of accounting entries (Sloan, 1996).

|---|---|---|---|
| Cash-flow accrualsNet income less operating cash flow, against average assets: the part of profit not received in cash in the same period. Research associates high accruals with lower earnings in later years; a negative figure means cash exceeded profit.(Net income attributable to the company - operating cash flow) / average total assets |
Method
- Cash-flow accruals are net income attributable to the company less operating cash flow, over average total assets. Balance sheet accruals follow Sloan (1996) and total accruals Richardson, Sloan, Soliman and Tuna (2005).
- Balance sheet and total accruals include the assets and liabilities that acquisitions bring in and disposals take out; cash-flow accruals exclude them.
Forensic and Distress ScoresAltman Z'' 2.34 · FY2026
Published distress and misstatement models, with their original coefficients and thresholds.
The Altman Z'' score for fiscal 2026 was 2.34, between the distress threshold of 1.10 and the safe threshold of 2.60.
Interpretation. By this model, the company is between the 2 groups of its original study: below 1.10 the profile resembles companies that went bankrupt, above 2.60 companies that did not. Large share buybacks lower book equity and so lower the score.

The score of 2.34 is in the grey zone of the model, between 1.10 and 2.60. The largest part is working capital, at 0.91.
| Part | Value | Coefficient | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Working capital / total assetsCurrent assets less current liabilities, against total assets: the short-term funds available for operations. | 0.138 | 6.560 | 0.908 |
| Retained earnings / total assetsProfits kept in the business over its life, against total assets. | 0.177 | 3.260 | 0.577 |
| EBIT / total assetsOperating profit against total assets: the earning power of the assets. | 0.067 | 6.720 | 0.453 |
| Total equity / total liabilitiesBook equity against liabilities: how far the assets could fall in value before liabilities exceed them. | 0.382 | 1.050 | 0.401 |
| Score | 2.339 |
Altman, Hartzell and Peck (1995), for non-manufacturing companies. The model omits the ratio of sales to total assets of the 1968 model and uses book equity. Working capital below zero and equity reduced by share repurchases lower the score.
