Analysing Brewdogs performance

Students will analyse BrewDog’s financial accounts and calculate a range of key financial ratios, including profitability, liquidity and gearing, to assess the company’s financial performance and position. They will then use their findings to explore a series of management decisions linked to BrewDog’s administration on 20 September 2026, considering issues such as high levels of debt, cash-flow pressures, expansion, cost control and the impact of decisions on different stakeholders. Students will be required to interpret the financial evidence rather than simply calculate ratios, before using their analysis to make justified recommendations about the decisions BrewDog’s management could have taken to improve its financial position.
