Interest cover is left blank for the years to Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023 and Mar 2024: operating profit after depreciation is a loss, and a loss covers no interest bill. No balance sheet is on record for the years to Mar 2016, Mar 2017, Mar 2018 and Mar 2019, so its lines and the ratios worked from it are blank there.

Where the return came from

Yearly rates to Mar 2025, per-share figures restated for splits and bonuses.

OverReturn a yearEarnings growthChange in P/EDividend yield
1 year−21.9%−78.9%+270.7%0.0%
3 years+21.1%−55.9%+174.6%0.0%
5 years+42.7%+0.6%+41.8%0.0%
Return is price growth plus the average dividend yield. Change in P/E is (1 + price growth) / (1 + earnings growth) - 1, so the parts compound rather than add.
