First-pass take

Vehicle-hire company with zero AI exposure. Operating margin expansion (11% to 12.4%) partly driven by depreciation accounting adjustments (£15m, ~57% of profit growth), with limited organic leverage despite capital intensity. Net debt of £437m at 79.6% gearing and cyclical demand profile offer weak downside protection.
