The company benefits from strong liquidity, with short-term assets exceeding liabilities and debt well covered by operating cash flow at 168.8%. Its debt level has improved significantly over the past five years. Trading at nearly half its estimated fair value indicates potential undervaluation, though a large one-off loss of £33.2 million has impacted recent results, adding caution to its outlook.
