Companies in the United Kingdom with the highest free cash flow

Free cash flow is operating cash flow minus capital expenditure: what is left once the company has paid to maintain and expand its asset base. We calculate it from two lines in the same filing, and a company is only ranked here if it reported both. Figures are for fiscal year 2025 and are read directly from each company's SEC filings; the source column on every row links to the document.
