What this is
What the Irish subsidiary earns over its costs each year: a mark-up of 2.6% (2022), 4.6% (2023), 2.2% (2024) and 3.8% (2025).
How it’s built
- For each year, revenue less administrative expenses was divided by those expenses, from the filed accounts.
- Operating profit including exchange gains and losses ties to the filed profit before interest and tax: €231,574 in 2025 and €90,743 in 2024.
What we assumed
- Administrative expenses are the whole cost base.They are the only expense line apart from exchange differences, and include all staff costs.
Sanity check
The mark-up moves between 2.2% and 4.6%, so it is not a fixed cost-plus rate; the accounts state none.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
