Return on capital employed is lower than target due to reduced operating surplus attributable to higher operating costs as highlighted in the commentary for the Headline Cost Per Unit KPI driven mainly around increased utility costs (tripling in the period), service charges (arising mainly from increased utility costs) and asset management costs, being particularly affected by increased prices due to inflationary pressures.
