Operations & OpsWaterfall — EBITDA Bridge FY24 to FY25, Price-Volume-Mix
The bridge a CFO puts on the results slide: FY24 EBITDA of £48,200k walks through price (+£6,900k), volume, mix and a subtotal after the revenue drivers, then raw materials, the energy saving, the wage settlement, the efficiency programme and FX, to FY25 EBITDA of £51,900k (+7.7%). Every bar is computed from the one before it, so the bridge always closes. Illustrative values.
Business & StrategyWaterfall — SaaS ARR Bridge: New, Expansion, Contraction, Churn
Twelve months of annual recurring revenue from $24,600k to $30,300k (+23.2%): new logos add $5,200k, expansion $3,900k, and contraction and churn take $3,400k back. From the same bars, net revenue retention is 102.0% and gross revenue retention 86.2% — the two numbers a SaaS board asks for first. Illustrative values.
Business & StrategyWaterfall — Scope 1 and 2 Emissions Bridge, 2019 Baseline to 2025
A manufacturer's scope 1 and 2 emissions from an 18,400 tCO₂e 2019 baseline to 13,060 tCO₂e in 2025 (-29.0%): four decarbonisation projects remove 9,270 t, while production growth and a new site add back 3,930 t — the honest bridge that separates what the projects achieved from what growth gave back. Market-based scope 2. Illustrative values.
Operations & OpsWaterfall — Elective Waiting-List Bridge Over a Financial Year
Why a hospital's referral-to-treatment waiting list moved from 41,850 to 42,700 pathways over the year: 52,300 referrals arrived, 48,300 pathways were closed by treatment and 3,150 by validation, so activity ran 4,000 short of demand before validation and the list still grew. The operational planning view of demand against capacity. Illustrative values.
Operations & OpsWaterfall — Unit Economics From Shelf Price to Contribution
Where £249.00 of ex-VAT shelf price goes for a consumer electronics product sold through retail: the retailer keeps £74.70 (30%), the bill of materials is £88.40, and after assembly, freight, duty and warranty the brand contributes £58.50 per unit (23.5%) towards fixed costs. Illustrative values.
Business & StrategyBudget-to-Forecast Bridge — BAC £14.4m to EAC £16.0m by variance driver
Cost variance bridge for a monthly project review: the named drivers moving budget at completion to estimate at completion on a capital scheme, each priced, adding to the reported variance at completion.
