BASIS OF PREPARATION
These financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Company\u2019s functional currency
and the Group\u2019s presentational currency, and have been prepared and approved by the Directors
on a going concern basis, in accordance with United Kingdom adopted international accounting
standards. The Company has elected to prepare its Parent Company financial statements in
accordance with FRS101; these are presented on pages 257 to 260.
The Directors are required to assess the appropriateness of applying the going concern basis in
the preparation of the financial statements. The current macroeconomic issues, have heightened
concerns around the UK economy and increase the risk of an economic downturn. In this context,
the Directors have fully considered the business activities and principal risks of the Company
and Group. Further details of the principal risks can be found on pages 71 to 78.
In preparing the assessment of going concern, the Directors have reviewed a number of different
scenarios over the 12-month period from the date of signing of these financial statements.
These scenarios include a severe, but realistically possible, scenario which includes the following
key assumptions:
\u2013 A reduction in occupancy, reflecting weaker customer demand for office space.
\u2013 A reduction in the pricing of new lettings, resulting in a reduction in average rent per sq. ft.
\u2013 Elevated levels of counterparty risk, with bad debt significantly higher than historic levels.
\u2013 Continued elevated levels of cost inflation.
\u2013 SONIA rates remaining elevated, impacting the cost of variable rate borrowings.
\u2013 Estimated rental value reduction in-line with the decline in average rent per sq. ft.
and outward movement in investment yields resulting in a lower property valuation.
The appropriateness of the going concern basis is reliant on the continued availability of
borrowings, sufficient liquidity and compliance with loan covenants. All borrowings require
compliance with LTV and Interest Cover covenants. As at the tightest test date in the scenarios
modelled, the Group could withstand a reduction in net rental income of 47% compared to the
March 2024 Net Rental Income and a fall in the asset valuation of 41% compared to 31 March
2024 before these covenants are breached, assuming no mitigating actions are taken.
As at 31 March 2024, the Group had significant headroom with \u00a3145m of cash and undrawn
facilities. The majority of the Group\u2019s debt is long-term fixed-rate committed facilities comprising
a \u00a3300m Green Bond, \u00a3300m of private placement notes, and a \u00a365m secured loan facility.
Shorter-term liquidity and flexibility is provided by floating rate sustainability-linked revolving
credit facilities (RCFs) totalling \u00a3335m, with \u00a3135m due in April 2026 and \u00a3200m due in
December 2026. The \u00a3200m RCF also has the option to increase the facility amount by
up to \u00a3100m, subject to lender consent.
For the full period of assessment under the scenarios tested, the Group maintains sufficient
headroom in its cash and loan facilities.
Consequently, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company will
have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months
from the date of signing of these financial statements and therefore the Directors continue
to adopt the Going Concern basis in their preparation.

Consideration of climate change
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors have considered the impact of climate change,
particularly in the context of the risks identified in the TCFD disclosure on pages 94 to 105 this
year. There has been no material impact identified on the financial reporting judgements and
estimates. In particular, the Directors considered the impact of climate change in respect
of the following areas:
\u2013 the potential impact on the valuation of our investment properties due to transition risks;
\u2013 going concern and viability of the Group over the next three years; and
\u2013 the capital expenditure required to upgrade our assets\u2019 EPC ratings and deliver
our net zero targets.
Whilst there is currently minimal medium-term impact expected from climate change, the
Directors are aware of the ever-changing risks attached to climate change and will regularly
assess these risks against judgements and estimates made in the preparation of the Group\u2019s
financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND CRITICAL ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires the use of estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management\u2019s best knowledge
of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.
The Group\u2019s significant accounting policies are stated below. Not all of these accounting policies
require management to make subjective or complex judgements or significant estimates. The
following is intended to provide an understanding of the significant estimates within the accounting
policies that management consider critical because of the assumptions or estimation involved
in their application and their impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Critical Estimate: Investment property valuation
The Group uses the valuation performed by its independent valuer as the fair value of its
investment properties. The valuation is based upon the key assumptions of estimated rental
values and market-based yields. With regard to redevelopments and refurbishments, future
development costs and an appropriate discount rate are also used. In determining fair value, the
valuers make reference to market evidence and recent transaction prices for similar properties.
Management consider the significant assumptions to the valuation of investment properties
to be estimated rental values and market-based yields. Sensitivities on these assumptions are
provided in note 10.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial
statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years
presented unless stated otherwise.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company
and all its subsidiary undertakings up to 31 March 2024. Subsidiaries are all entities (including
structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the
Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and
has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group until the date that
control ceases. A list of subsidiaries has been disclosed in note 27.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains from intra-group transactions are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of
an impairment of the asset transferred.
Investment properties
Investment properties are those properties owned or leased by the Group that are held either
to earn rental income or for capital appreciation, or both, and are not occupied by the Company
or subsidiaries of the Group.
Investment property is measured initially at cost, including related transaction costs. After initial
recognition, investment property is held at fair value based on a valuation by an independent
professional external valuer at each reporting date. The valuation methods and key assumptions
applied are explained in note 10. Changes in fair value of investment property at each reporting
date are recorded in the consolidated income statement.
Investment properties acquired under leases are capitalised at the lease\u2019s commencement at
the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the net present value of the minimum lease
payments. The investment properties acquired under leases are subsequently carried at fair value
plus an adjustment for the carrying amount of the lease obligation. The corresponding rental
obligations, net of finance charges, are included in current and non-current borrowings. Each
lease payment is allocated between liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate
on the outstanding finance balance. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the
consolidated income statement.
Properties are treated as acquired at the point which the Group assumes the significant risks
and rewards of ownership and are treated as disposed when they are transferred outside of
the Group\u2019s control.
Existing investment properties which undergo redevelopment and refurbishment for continued
future use remain as investment property where the purpose of holding the property continues
to meet the definition of investment property as defined above. Subsequent expenditure is
charged to the asset\u2019s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group, and the cost of each item can be reliably
measured. Certain internal staff costs directly attributable to capital/redevelopment projects are
capitalised. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated income
statement during the period in which they are incurred.
Capitalised interest on refurbishment/redevelopment expenditure is added to the asset\u2019s
carrying amount. Capitalised borrowing costs are calculated by reference to the actual interest
rate payable on borrowings or, if financed out of general borrowings, by reference to the average
rate payable on funding the assets employed by the Group and applied to the direct redevelopment
expenditure. Interest is capitalised from the date of commencement of the redevelopment activity
until the date when all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are
substantially complete.
Investment properties are recognised as \u2018assets held for sale\u2019 when it is considered highly
probable that sale completion will take place. This is assumed when the property has been
actively marketed for a buyer, supported by either the exchange of a contract or agreement of
terms with a buyer by the balance sheet date and it is highly probable that its carrying amount
will be recovered within one year.
Income from the sale of assets is recognised when the significant risks and returns have been
transferred to the buyer. In the case of sales of properties this is generally taken on completion
of the contract. In the case of a part disposal agreement, the part of the asset being disposed
will be derecognised from investment property when completion is reached or when a lease
agreement is signed (i.e. when the risks and rewards of this part of the site transfer to the
developer). Profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the consideration receivable (net of costs)
less the latest valuation (net book value) and is shown in profit/loss on disposal of assets.
Consideration can take the form of cash, new commercial buildings and a right to future overage
(generally being a share in the proceeds of any future sale of the residential development to be
constructed by the developer). Revenue is recognised in the period when all relevant criteria in
IFRS 15 are met under the five-step model.
Consideration (including overage) is measured at the fair value of the consideration received/
receivable.
Commercial property to be received is fair valued using the residual method described in
note 10 and is included in investment property. Changes in fair value are recognised through
the consolidated income statement in accordance with IAS 40.
Overage is only recognised once an agreement has been signed with a residential developer.
Overage represents a financial asset and is designated as a financial asset at fair value through
profit or loss upon initial recognition. The carrying value of overage is assessed at each period
end and changes in fair value are taken to other income/expenses.
Acquisitions
An acquisition is recognised when the control has been transferred, usually on completion of the
transaction. The acquisition method measures assets based on purchase price, which is allocated
to the property assets on a fair value basis, and includes directly related acquisition costs.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Any gain or bargain
purchase or acquisition-related costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at historical cost, less accumulated amortisation. Acquired on-premise
computer software licences and external costs of implementing or developing computer
software programmes and websites are capitalised. These costs are amortised over the
asset\u2019s estimated useful life of five years on a straight-line basis.
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes including Software as a Service
(SaaS) are recognised as an expense as they fall due.
Property, plant and equipment Equipment and fixtures are stated at historical purchase cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure is charged to the asset\u2019s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of each item can be reliably measured. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated income statement during the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method to allocate the cost less estimated residual value over the assets\u2019 estimated useful lives which range from four to ten years. The assets\u2019 residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at least at each financial year end. An asset\u2019s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Other investments Investments in unlisted shares are accounted for under IFRS 9 at fair value, using a valuation multiple and financial information. Changes in fair value are shown in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less provision for impairment based on the expected credit loss, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables based on the individual occupier\u2019s circumstance. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset\u2019s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The provision is recorded in the consolidated income statement. Deferred consideration on the disposal of investment properties is included within trade and other receivables. It is fair valued on recognition and at each year end with any movement taken to other income/expenses. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently held at amortised cost. Cash and cash equivalents Cash is represented by cash in hand, restricted cash in the form of tenants\u2019 deposit deeds and deposits held on call with banks and money market funds. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts are included in current liabilities but within cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement. Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost, with any difference between the initial amount (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings, using the effective interest method, except for interest capitalised on redevelopments. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting The Group enters into derivative transactions in order to manage its exposure to interest rate risks. Financial derivatives are recorded at fair value calculated by valuation techniques based on market prices, estimated future cash flows and forward interest rates. The Group applies hedge accounting for certain derivatives that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows (cash flow hedges). The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. The fair values of various derivative instruments used for hedging purposes are disclosed in note 16(e). Movements on the hedging reserve in other comprehensive income are shown in note 21. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement within other income/expenses. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Investment in own shares The Group operates an Employee Share Ownership Trust (\u2018ESOT\u2019) and a trust for the Share Incentive Plan (\u2018SIP\u2019). When the Group funds these trusts in order to purchase Company shares, the loan is deducted from shareholders\u2019 equity as investment in own shares.
Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided
to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is the person or group
that allocates resources to and assesses the performance of the operating segments of an entity.
The Group has determined that its chief operating decision maker is the Executive Committee of
the Company. As at 31 March 2024, the Group considers that it has only one operating segment,
being a single portfolio of commercial property providing business accommodation for rent in
and around London.
Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises rental income, service charges and other sums receivable from the Group\u2019s
investment properties. Other sums comprise supplies of utilities, premia associated with
surrender of tenancies, commissions, fees and other sundry income.
All the Group\u2019s properties are leased out under operating leases and are included in investment
property in the consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with IFRS 16, rental income from
leases is recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease
term. Rent received in advance is deferred in the consolidated balance sheet and recognised in
the period to which it relates. If the Group provides significant incentives to its customers the
incentives are recognised over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Service charges and other sums receivable from tenants are recognised on an accruals basis by
reference to the stage of completion of the relevant service or transactions at the reporting date.
These services generally relate to a 12-month period.
Direct costs
Direct costs comprise service charges and other costs directly recoverable from tenants and
non-recoverable costs directly attributable to investment properties and other revenue streams.
Exceptional items
Exceptional items are those items that, in the Directors\u2019 view, are required to be separately
disclosed by virtue of their size or incidence to enable a full understanding of the Group\u2019s
financial performance.
Share based payments
The Group operates a number of share schemes under which the Group receives services from
employees as consideration for equity instruments of the Company.
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of share awards and
options is recognised as an expense over the vesting period.
Fair value is measured by the use of Black-Scholes and Binomial Option Pricing modelling
techniques. In valuing equity-settled transactions, assessment is made of any vesting conditions
to categorise these into market performance conditions, non-market performance conditions
and service conditions.
Pensions The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the consolidated income statement on an accruals basis. As part of the McKay Securities PLC acquisition in May 2022 the Group assumed all responsibilities in relation to the existing McKay defined benefit pension scheme. Subsequent to this, the Group entered into a pension buy-out transaction whereby an insurance company has taken on all current and future liabilities of this defined benefit pension scheme, along with related assets. Taxation Current income tax is tax payable on the taxable income for the year and any prior year adjustment, and is calculated using tax rates that are relevant to the financial year. Deferred tax is provided in full on temporary differences between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount in the balance sheet. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Compliance with the Real Estate Investment Trust (\u2018REIT\u2019) taxation regime The Group is a REIT and is thereby exempt from tax on both rental profits and chargeable gains from its UK property rental business. In order to retain REIT status, certain ongoing criteria must be maintained. The main criteria are as follows: \u2013 at the start of each accounting period, the assets of the tax-exempt business must be at least 75% of the total value of the Group\u2019s assets; \u2013 at least 75% of the Group\u2019s total profits must arise from the tax-exempt business; and \u2013 at least 90% of the tax-exempt business earnings must be distributed. Dividend distributions Final dividend distributions to the Company\u2019s shareholders are recognised as a liability in the Group\u2019s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved, while interim dividends are recognised when paid.", "dimensions": { "concept": "ifrs-full:DisclosureOfMaterialAccountingPolicyInformationExplanatory", "language": "en", "entity": "scheme:2138003GUZRFIN3UT430", "period": "2023-04-01T00:00:00/2024-04-01T00:00:00" } }, "fact-239": { "value": "Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiary undertakings up to 31 March 2024.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Group enters into derivative transactions in order to manage its exposure to interest rate
risks. Financial derivatives are recorded at fair value calculated by valuation techniques based
on market prices, estimated future cash flows and forward interest rates.
The Group applies hedge accounting for certain derivatives that are designated and effective
as hedges of future cash flows (cash flow hedges). The Group documents at the inception of the
transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk
management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group
also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the
derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair
values or cash flows of hedged items. The fair values of various derivative instruments used for
hedging purposes are disclosed in note 16(e). Movements on the hedging reserve in other
comprehensive income are shown in note 21.
For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are
designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the consolidated statement of other
comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised
immediately in the consolidated income statement within other income/expenses. Amounts

The Group is a Real Estate Investment Trust (\u2018REIT\u2019). The Group\u2019s UK property rental business
(both income and capital gains) is exempt from UK corporation tax. The Group estimates that as
the majority of its future profits will be exempt from tax, future tax charges are likely to be low.
Profits arising from any residual business activities (e.g. trading activities and interest income),
after the utilisation of tax losses, are subject to corporation tax at the main rate of 25% for the
period (increased from 19% in the previous period).
The Group currently has an unrecognised asset in relation to tax losses from the non-REIT
business carried forward of \u00a38.9m (2023: \u00a36.2m) calculated at a corporation tax rate of 25%

Investment properties represent a single class of property, being business accommodation
for rent in and around London.
Investment properties include buildings with a carrying amount of \u00a3317.2m (2023: \u00a3321.9m)
for which there are lease obligations of \u00a334.7m (2023: \u00a334.7m). Investment property lease
commitment details are shown in note 17.
During the prior period, the Group acquired McKay Securities Limited (formerly McKay
Securities PLC) adding 32 properties in and around London to the portfolio.
Three of the properties classified as held for sale at the end of the prior year were not sold
during the year. These are retained within current assets as they are still expected to sell within
the next 12 months to 31 March 2025 and have been subject to an impairment charge of \u00a32.6m
following the valuation carried out at 31 March 2024. One of them exchanged during the year.
Six (2023: Ten) additional properties were reclassified as held for sale at year-end. Four of
these properties have exchanged for sale and are likely to complete within the next 12 months.
The transfer value is their year-end valuation per CBRE.
Disposed properties tenant incentives relate to disposed properties during the year, where there
were tenant lease incentives accounted for under IFRS 16.
Capitalised interest is included at a rate of capitalisation of 6.8% (2023: 3.9%). The total amount
of capitalised interest included in investment properties is \u00a318.1m (2023: \u00a315.1m).
The change in fair value of investment properties is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Valuation
The Group\u2019s investment properties are held at fair value and were revalued at 31 March 2024
by the external valuer, CBRE Limited, a firm of independent qualified valuers, in accordance with
the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Valuation \u2013 Global Standards. All the properties are
revalued at period end regardless of the date of acquisition. In line with IFRS 13, all investment
properties are valued on the basis of their highest and best use. For like-for-like properties, their
current use equates to the highest and best use. For properties undergoing refurbishment or
redevelopment, most of these are still being used for business accommodation in their current
state. However, the valuation at the balance sheet date includes the impact of the potential
refurbishment and redevelopment as this represents the highest and best use.
The Executive Committee and the Board both conduct a detailed review of each property
valuation to assess whether appropriate assumptions have been applied and that valuations
are appropriate. Meetings are held with the valuers to discuss and challenge the valuations,
to confirm that they have considered all relevant information.
The valuation of like-for-like properties (which are not undergoing significant refurbishment or
redevelopment) is based on the income capitalisation method which applies market-based yields
to the Estimated Rental Values (\u2018ERVs\u2019) of each of the properties. Yields are based on current
market expectations depending on the location and use of the property. ERVs are based on
estimated rental potential considering current rental streams and market comparatives whilst
also considering the occupancy and timing of rent reviews at each property. Although occupancy
and rent review timings are known, and there is market evidence for transaction prices for similar
properties, there is still a significant element of estimation and judgement in estimating ERVs.
As a result of adjustments made to market observable data, the significant inputs are deemed
unobservable under IFRS 13.
When valuing properties where Workspace is carrying out a major refurbishment, the residual
value method is used. The completed value of the refurbishment is determined as for like-for-like
properties above. This is then adjusted for costs to complete and developers profit margin.
A discount factor is applied to reflect the time period to complete construction and make
allowance for construction and market risk to arrive at the residual value of the property.
The discount factor used is the property yield that is also applied to the estimated rental value
to determine the value of the completed building. Other risks such as unexpected time delays
relating to planned capital expenditure are assessed on a project-by-project basis, looking
at market comparable data where possible and the complexity of the proposed scheme.
Redevelopment properties are also valued using the residual value method. The proposed
redevelopment which would be undertaken by a residential developer is valued based on the
market value for similar sites and then adjusted for costs to complete, developer\u2019s profit margin
and a time discount factor. Allowance is also made for planning and construction risk depending
on the stage of the redevelopment. If a contract is agreed for the sale/redevelopment of the site,
the property is valued based on agreed consideration.
For all methods, the valuers are provided with information on tenure, letting, town planning and
the repair of the buildings and sites.
The reconciliation of the valuation report total to the amount shown in the consolidated balance
sheet as non-current assets, investment properties, is as follows:

The Group\u2019s investment properties are carried at fair value and under IFRS 13 are required to be
analysed by level depending on the valuation method adopted. The different valuation methods
are as follows:
Level 1 \u2013 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 \u2013 Use of a model with inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are
directly or indirectly observable market data.
Level 3 \u2013 Use of a model with inputs that are not based on observable market data.
As noted in the significant judgements and critical estimates section, property valuations are
complex and involve data which is not publicly available and involves a degree of judgement.
All the investment properties are classified as Level 3, due to the fact that one or more
significant inputs to the valuation are not based on observable market data.
CBRE have made enquiries to ascertain any sustainability factors which are likely to impact
on value, consistent with the scope of their terms of engagement. Sustainability encompasses
a wide range of physical, social, environmental, and economic factors that can affect the value of
an asset, even if not explicitly recognised. This includes key environmental risks; such as flooding,
energy efficiency, climate, design, legislation and management considerations \u2013 as well as
current and historic land use. Where CBRE recognise the value impacts of sustainability, they
reflect their understanding of how market participants include sustainability factors in their
decisions and the consequential impact on market valuations.

A key unobservable input for redevelopments at planning stage and refurbishments is developer\u2019s
profit. The range is 10%\u201319% with a weighted average of 15%.
Costs to complete is a key unobservable input for redevelopments at planning stage with a range
of \u00a3273\u2013\u00a3416 per sq. ft. and a weighted average of \u00a3325 per sq. ft.
Costs to complete are not considered to be a significant unobservable input for refurbishments
due to the high percentage of costs that are fixed.

Receivables at fair value Included within deferred consideration on sale of investment properties is \u00a30.6m (2023: \u00a30.5m) of overage which is held at fair value through profit and loss. As the amounts receivable are expected within the following 12 months they have been classified as current receivables. The deferred consideration arising on the sale of investment properties relates to cash and overage. The overage has been fair valued by CBRE Limited using appropriate discount rates, and will be revalued on a regular basis. This is a Level 3 valuation of a financial asset, as defined by IFRS 13. The change in fair value recorded in the consolidated income statement was \u00a3nil (31 March 2023: \u00a30.1m decrease) (note 3(b)).

margin can be adjusted further by up to 4.5bps dependent upon achievement of three ESG-linked metrics.
(e) Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses a mixture of fixed rate and variable rate facilities to manage its interest rate
exposure appropriately to provide operational and budget certainty. To manage the interest rate
risk arising on variable rate debt, \u00a3100m of the debt has been swapped to fixed rate GBP using
an interest rate swap.
The hedged item is designated as the variability of the cash flows of the specific debt instrument
arising from future changes in the SONIA rate, which is an eligible hedged item.
Hedge effectiveness is assessed on critical terms (amount, interest rate, interest settlement dates,
currency and maturity date). The critical terms of this hedging relationship perfectly matched
at origination, so for the prospective assessment of effectiveness a qualitative assessment was
performed. The interest rate swap creates an equal and opposite interest receipt and a fixed
interest payment, therefore creating an exact offset for this transaction resulting in a net fixed
interest payable. Potential sources of hedge ineffectiveness include significant change in the
credit risk of either party or a reduction in the hedged item as such will impact the economic
relationship between the fair value changes of the hedged item and the swap.
The effects of the interest rate swap hedging relationship is as follows:

All lease obligations are long leaseholds, therefore, the majority of the obligations fall beyond
fifteen years.
28. LEASES
The majority of the Group\u2019s tenant leases are granted with a rolling six-month tenant break
clause, although property acquisitions have included customer leases which are much longer,
with fewer break clauses. The future minimum rental income under leases granted to tenants
are shown below.

18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICY
The Group has identified exposure to the following financial risks:
\u2013 Market risk
\u2013 Credit risk
\u2013 Liquidity risk
\u2013 Capital risk management
The policies for managing each of these risks and the principal effects of these policies on the
results for the year are summarised below:
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market conditions will affect the Group\u2019s interest rates.
Borrowings at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings at fixed
rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.
The Group finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits and borrowings. The
Group borrows at both fixed and floating rates of interest. At 31 March 2024, 89% (2023: 73%)
of Group borrowings were fixed.
All transactions entered into are approved by the Board and are in accordance with the Group\u2019s
treasury policy. The Board also monitors variances on interest rates to budget and forecast rates
to ensure that the risk relating to interest rates is being sufficiently safeguarded. As at year end,
a reasonably possible interest rate movement of +/-1.0% would have increased or decreased net
interest payable by \u00a30.9m (2023: \u00a32.5m).
The interest cover covenant in relation to Group borrowings is a ratio of 2.0x and the Group targets
a minimum cover of 2.5x. For the year ended 31 March 2024 interest cover was 3.7x. Interest cover
is calculated as net rental income divided by finance costs (excluding exceptional finance costs).
(b) Credit risk
The Group\u2019s main financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, deposits with financial
institutions and trade and other receivables.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a tenant or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails
to meet its contractual obligations. The Group\u2019s exposure to this risk principally relates to the
receivables from tenants, deferred consideration on the sale of investment property and cash
and cash equivalent balances held with counterparties.
The Group\u2019s exposure to credit risk in relation to receivables from tenants is influenced mainly
by the characteristics of individual tenants occupying its rental properties. The Group has
around 4,678 lettable units at 77 properties with overall occupancy of 83%. The largest 10 single
tenants generate around 10.2% of net rent roll. As such, the credit risk attributable to individual
tenants is low.
The Group\u2019s credit risk in relation to tenants is further mitigated by requiring that tenants provide
a deposit equivalent to three months\u2019 rent on inception of lease as security against default. Total
tenant deposits held are \u00a340.2m (2023: \u00a337.0m). The Group monitors aged debt balances and
any potential bad debts every week, the information being reported to the Executive Committee
every month as part of the performance monitoring process. The Group\u2019s debt recovery is
consistently high and as such is deemed a low risk area.
Deferred consideration (cash and overage) on the sale of investment properties is contractual
and valued regularly by the external valuer based on current and future market factors. Cash and
cash equivalents and financial derivatives are held with major UK high street banks and strict
counterparty limits are operated on deposits.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum
exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

42.0
The Group\u2019s assessment of expected credit losses involves estimation given its forward-looking
nature. Assumptions used in the forward-looking assessment are continually reviewed to take
into account likely rent deferrals.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they
fall due.
The Group\u2019s approach to managing liquidity is to target a minimum headroom on loan facilities
of \u00a350.0m, so as to have sufficient funds to meet financial obligations as they fall due. This is
performed via a variety of methods including daily cash flow review and forecasting, monthly
monitoring of the maturity profile of debt and the regular review of borrowing facilities in
relation to the Group\u2019s requirements and strategy. The Board reviews compliance with loan
covenants which include agreed interest cover and loan to value ratios, alongside review of
available headroom on loan facilities.
To manage its liquidity effectively, the Group has an overdraft facility of \u00a32.0m (2023: \u00a32.0m),
two revolving loan facilities totalling \u00a3335.0m (2023: \u00a3335.0m). At 31 March 2024 headroom
excluding overdraft and cash was \u00a3141.0m (31 March 2023: \u00a3136.0m).
The following is an analysis of the contractual undiscounted cash flows payable under financial
liabilities, derivative financial instruments and trade and other payables existing at the balance
sheet date. Contracted cash flows are based upon the loan balances and applicable interest
rates payable on these at each year end.

(d) Capital risk management
The Group\u2019s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group\u2019s ability to
continue as a going concern, and monitor an appropriate mix of debt and equity financing.
Equity comprises issued share capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in the
consolidated statement of changes in equity. Debt comprises the Green Bond, a secured loan,
two Revolving Credit Facilities from banks and Private Placement Notes less cash at bank and

At 31 March 2024, Group equity was \u00a31,548.9m (2023: \u00a31,787.7m) and Group net debt
(debt less cash at bank and in hand) was \u00a3854.9m (2023: \u00a3902.0m). Group gearing at
31 March 2024 was 55% (2023: 50%).
The Group\u2019s borrowings are all unsecured apart from \u00a365.0m. The loan to value covenant
applicable to these borrowings is 60% and compliance is being met comfortably. Loan to value
at 31 March 2024 was 35%. This is calculated using the total CBRE investment property valuation
(as per note 10) and the current net debt (as per note 16(b)). Our target is to maintain loan to
value below 30%. This may from time-to-time be exceeded up to a maximum of 40% as steps
are taken to reduce loan to value back below 30%.

Borrowings at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits and borrowings. The Group borrows at both fixed and floating rates of interest. At 31 March 2024, 89% (2023: 73%) of Group borrowings were fixed. All transactions entered into are approved by the Board and are in accordance with the Group\u2019s treasury policy. The Board also monitors variances on interest rates to budget and forecast rates to ensure that the risk relating to interest rates is being sufficiently safeguarded. As at year end, a reasonably possible interest rate movement of +/-1.0% would have increased or decreased net interest payable by \u00a30.9m (2023: \u00a32.5m). The interest cover covenant in relation to Group borrowings is a ratio of 2.0x and the Group targets a minimum cover of 2.5x. For the year ended 31 March 2024 interest cover was 3.7x. Interest cover is calculated as net rental income divided by finance costs (excluding exceptional finance costs).

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a tenant or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group\u2019s exposure to this risk principally relates to the receivables from tenants, deferred consideration on the sale of investment property and cash and cash equivalent balances held with counterparties. The Group\u2019s exposure to credit risk in relation to receivables from tenants is influenced mainly by the characteristics of individual tenants occupying its rental properties. The Group has around 4,678 lettable units at 77 properties with overall occupancy of 83%. The largest 10 single tenants generate around 10.2% of net rent roll. As such, the credit risk attributable to individual tenants is low. The Group\u2019s credit risk in relation to tenants is further mitigated by requiring that tenants provide a deposit equivalent to three months\u2019 rent on inception of lease as security against default. Total tenant deposits held are \u00a340.2m (2023: \u00a337.0m). The Group monitors aged debt balances and any potential bad debts every week, the information being reported to the Executive Committee every month as part of the performance monitoring process. The Group\u2019s debt recovery is consistently high and as such is deemed a low risk area. Deferred consideration (cash and overage) on the sale of investment properties is contractual and valued regularly by the external valuer based on current and future market factors. Cash and cash equivalents and financial derivatives are held with major UK high street banks and strict counterparty limits are operated on deposits. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

The Group\u2019s approach to managing liquidity is to target a minimum headroom on loan facilities of \u00a350.0m, so as to have sufficient funds to meet financial obligations as they fall due. This is performed via a variety of methods including daily cash flow review and forecasting, monthly monitoring of the maturity profile of debt and the regular review of borrowing facilities in relation to the Group\u2019s requirements and strategy. The Board reviews compliance with loan covenants which include agreed interest cover and loan to value ratios, alongside review of available headroom on loan facilities. To manage its liquidity effectively, the Group has an overdraft facility of \u00a32.0m (2023: \u00a32.0m), two revolving loan facilities totalling \u00a3335.0m (2023: \u00a3335.0m). At 31 March 2024 headroom excluding overdraft and cash was \u00a3141.0m (31 March 2023: \u00a3136.0m). The following is an analysis of the contractual undiscounted cash flows payable under financial liabilities, derivative financial instruments and trade and other payables existing at the balance sheet date. Contracted cash flows are based upon the loan balances and applicable interest rates payable on these at each year end. 2

23. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
The Group operates a number of share schemes:
(a) Long Term Incentive Plan (\u2018LTIP\u2019) and Restricted Share Awards (\u2018RSA\u2019)
The LTIP scheme is a performance award scheme whereby shares are issued against
Group performance measures which are assessed over the three-year vesting period.
The performance measures for the 2021 and 2022 schemes are:
\u2013 Relative TSR
\u2013 Total Property Return compared to the IPD benchmark
The performance measures for the 2023 scheme are:
\u2013 Relative TSR
\u2013 Relative EPS growth
\u2013 Relative ESG metrics
\u2013 Relative TAR
The shares are issued at nil cost to the individuals provided the performance conditions are met.
Under the 2023 LTIP scheme, 365,938 performance shares and 430,962 restricted shares were
awarded in June 2023 to Directors and Senior Management (2022 LTIP scheme: 848,199
performance shares were awarded in June 2022).
Details of the movements for the LTIP scheme during the year were as follows:

the date of exercise of shares exercised during the year was \u00a35.30 (2019 LTIP scheme: \u00a3nil).

The fair value of the 2023 RSA Scheme and the additional three new measures (EPS growth, ESG metrics and TAR) for the 2023 LTIP Scheme are all measured at the grant share price. The Total Property Return compared to the IPD benchmark is a non-market based condition and the intrinsic value is therefore the share price at date of grant. At each balance sheet date, the Directors will assess the likelihood of meeting the conditions under this element of the scheme. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity. There is no Total Property return element for the 2023 LTIP scheme, but the assessment at year end for the LTIP 2022 was that 50% of the Total Property Return element will vest (LTIP 2021: 100%). The expected Workspace share price volatility was determined by taking account of the daily share price movement over a three-year period. The respective FTSE 250 Real Estate share price volatility and correlations were also determined over the same period. Assessment is made of any vesting conditions to categorise these into market performance conditions, non-market performance conditions and service conditions to value equity-settled transactions. The risk-free rate has been determined from market yield curves for government zero-coupon bonds with outstanding terms equal to the average expected term to exercise for each relevant grant

The Group operates a Save As You Earn (\u2018SAYE\u2019) share option scheme. Grants under the SAYE
scheme are normally exercisable after three or five years\u2019 saving. In accordance with UK practice,
the majority of options under the SAYE schemes are granted at a price 20% below the market
price ruling at the date of grant.
Details of the movements for the SAYE schemes during the year were as follows:

The expected life is the average expected period to exercise. The risk free rate of return is the
yield on zero-coupon UK Government bonds of a term consistent with the assumed option life.
The expected dividend yield is based on the present value of expected future dividend
payments to expiry.

1. The number of ordinary shares in the SIP scheme does not include 15,040 unallocated shares.
The share awards/options outstanding at 31 March 2024 had a weighted average remaining
contractual life of: LTIP \u2013 1.4 years (2023: 1.4 years), SAYE \u2013 2.4 years (2023: 1.5 years),
SIP \u2013 0.2 year (2023: 1.0 year). The weighted average for the SIP scheme includes the
unallocated and exercisable shares from previous awards.
(e) Cash-settled share based payments
National Insurance payments due on the exercise of non-approved ESOS options and shares
from the LTIP are considered cash-settled share based payments.
The estimated fair value of the National Insurance cash-settled share based payments have been
calculated using the share price at the balance sheet date. At each balance sheet date, the Group
revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact
of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement.
(f) Share based payment charges
The Group recognised a total charge in relation to share based payments as follows:

24. PENSIONS
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held
separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The pension cost
charge for this scheme in the year was \u00a31.3m (2023: \u00a31.0m) representing contributions payable
by the Group to the fund and is charged through trading profit.
The Group\u2019s commitment with regard to pension contributions, ranges from 6.0% to 10.0%
(2023: 6.0% to 16.5%) of an employee\u2019s salary. The pension scheme is open to every employee
in accordance with the Government auto-enrolment rules. The number of employees, including
Directors, in the scheme at the year end was 291 (2023: 261).
In the prior year, as part of the McKay Securities Limited (formerly McKay Securities PLC)
acquisition in May 2022 the Group became liable for the existing McKay defined benefit pension
scheme. Subsequent to this, on 12 October 2022, the Group entered into a pension buy-out
transaction whereby an insurance company took on all current and future liabilities of the
scheme in exchange for the assets of the scheme, valued at \u00a35.4m at that date, and a cash
contribution from the Company of \u00a31.3m. The scheme had a deficit of \u00a30.3m at the prior half
year with the excess settlement charge of \u00a30.9m included in the consolidated statement
of comprehensive income. The scheme has now been wound up as at 31 March 2024.
