Methodology

Every line item above is a fact tagged in ASHTEAD GROUP PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY's annual report filed in the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) under the IFRS taxonomy (ifrs-full) — the income statement, balance sheet and cash-flow statement as the filer reported them. Values are shown as-is, in the reporting currency (USD), without rescaling; the row labels map to the underlying concept name (e.g. Revenue → ifrs-full:Revenue, Operating profit → ifrs-full:ProfitLossFromOperatingActivities, Diluted EPS → ifrs-full:DilutedEarningsLossPerShare), and any concept without a curated label is shown under “Other reported items” with its de-camel-cased tag name. Only consolidated, default-member facts are shown (segment / dimensional breakdowns are excluded).

“Derived metrics” (free cash flow, margins, ROE, …) are computed from those facts by the same model the U.S. financials pages use — not tagged by the filer.
