| Ratio | Trend | 2024-06-30 | 2025-06-30 |

| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 16.5% | 18.9% | |
| Current ratio | 2.62x | 1.91x |
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. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial forecasts for the next three years project that the organisation has sufficient cash and cash investments and reserves to continue to operate. The financial projections have been prepared on the basis of a number of scenarios so the organisation is prepared for different levels of potential impact with regards to risks posed by the economic environment. We have robust monitoring processes in place to ensure the organisation is able to react quickly to any downturn in income. The free reserves of the organisation are held in cash and liquid investments so they can be liquidated quickly if required. Accordingly, the trustees are of the opinion that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “After the balance sheet date, WWF-UK implemented a board-approved restructuring programme designed to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs and strengthen leadership structures. This programme is expected to deliver annual savings of approximately £5 million in unrestricted staff costs, equating to around 90 roles being at risk.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
