ConfirmedDebt Against the S&P Benchmark Bands
Lease-adjusted debt was 3.1 times adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2026, and funds from operations equalled 24.4% of that debt. Both ratios are within the significant band of the S&P standard volatility table.
Interpretation. Debt to EBITDA shows how many years of EBITDA the debt equals, and FFO to debt the share of the debt that 1 year of cash flow after interest and taxes would repay. The S&P table sorts both into 6 bands; the significant band is number 4 of 6, and a higher number means more debt against earnings.
ConfirmedAltman Z'' Zone
The Altman Z'' score for fiscal 2026 was 0.19, below the distress threshold of 1.10.
Interpretation. By this model, the balance sheet and earnings look like those of companies that went bankrupt in its original study: below 1.10 means distress, above 2.60 safe. Large share buybacks lower book equity and so lower the score.

Position in the S&P Standard Volatility Table, Fiscal 2026

S&P sorts companies into 6 bands by debt against earnings and cash flow, from the least debt to the most.

Debt equals 3.1 years of adjusted EBITDA; a year of funds from operations equals 24.4% of it.

Funds from operations	£3.5bn	£2.4bn	£3.6bn	£3.4bn	£3.7bn

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.

Earnings QualityCash-flow accruals −5.4%, Operating cash flow to EBITDA 0.80x · 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 5.4% 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).

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 ScoresDistress zoneAltman Z'' 0.19, Beneish −2.65 · FY2026

Published distress and misstatement models, with their original coefficients and thresholds.

The Altman Z'' score for fiscal 2026 was 0.19, below the distress threshold of 1.10.
Interpretation. By this model, the balance sheet and earnings look like those of companies that went bankrupt in its original study: below 1.10 means distress, above 2.60 safe. Large share buybacks lower book equity and so lower the score.

Altman Z'' Score

Grey zone, 1.10 to 2.60

Safe zone, above 2.60

The score of 0.19 is in the distress zone of the model, below 1.10. The largest part is operating profit, at 0.51; working capital below zero lowers the score by 0.97.
