The Workings

Five Screens, Shown in Full

Full pass across all five screens. This security clears the Titan Ethical Standard: its business and its balance sheet both stay inside the lines.

TestFigureLimitWhat it meansStatus
Business activity Permissible Core business clean Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines: no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. Pass
Debt load 21.91% Below 33% Interest-bearing debt is just 21.9% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
Interest-bearing cash 6.83% Below 33% Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 6.8% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
Receivables 2.82% Below 49% Money owed to the company is 2.8% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
Revenue purity 2.06% Below 5% Only 2.1% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, under the 5% line. Pass

Five checks adapted from AAOIFI screening standards: business activity plus four balance-sheet ratios. All five must pass for ethical clearance. Every figure is arithmetic on public accounts, not judgement.

The Ethical Read

Why It Clears, in Plain English

Worldline clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 22%, inside the ~33% line, and interest is about 2% of its income, under the ~5% line, so it passes.

The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; it already moves more than the market on an average day; its business and earnings are exposed to France and to currency swings.
