The Group as a lessee \u2013 <span class=\"ffe2\">The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at the </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs23f\">inception of the contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease, if the contract conveys the right to </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs240\">control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs241\">recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date with respect to </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs242\">all lease arrangements except for short-term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs243\">and leases of low-value assets. For these leases, the lease payments are recognised as an operating </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs244\">expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs245\">The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, comprising the initial amount of the lease liability </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs246\">plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to restore the underlying asset, less </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs247\">any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs248\">line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs249\">or the end of the lease term. The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs24a\">impaired. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws10 gs24b\">not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs24c\">rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is measured at </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs24d\">amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs24e\">lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate or a change in the Group\u2019s assessment of </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs24f\">whether it will exercise an extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured, a </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs250\">corresponding adjustment is made to the right-of-use asset.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs251\">Management uses judgement to determine the lease term where extension and termination options </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs252\">are available within the lease.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe3 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs253\">2.

The head lease is accounted for as per the lessee policy </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs255\">above. The sublease is classified as a finance lease or operating lease by reference to the <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>right-of-use </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs256\">asset arising from the head lease. Where the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs257\">of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease; all other leases are classified </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs258\">as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs259\">the term of the relevant lease. Amounts due from lessees under finance subleases are recognised as </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs25a\">receivables at the amount of the Group\u2019s net investment in the leases discounted using the interest </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs25b\">rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the discount rate used in the </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs25c\">head lease.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 he ffe3 fs4 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs25d\">Dividends<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs25e\">Final dividends are recorded in the Group\u2019s financial statements in the period in which they are </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs25f\">approved by the company\u2019s shareholders.

Going concern<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs274\">In assessing the Group\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern for the period to 30 June 2025, the </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs275\">Board reviewed management\u2019s five-year plan, which was used as the base case. The review included </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs276\">available liquidity throughout the period and headroom against the Group\u2019s two main covenants, </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs277\">which require net debt to EBITDA to be a maximum of four times and interest cover to be at least </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs278\">three times.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs279\">At 31 December 2023, the Group had available liquidity of c.\u00a31bn, comprising central cash balances </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs27a\">and its undrawn $1bn Revolving Credit Facility (RCF). The company's subsidiary Pearson Funding plc </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs27b\">has a debt maturity of \u20ac300m due within the going concern assessment period and it is assumed </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs27c\">that this is refinanced ahead of time with a \u00a3250m bond or bank facility. In both the base case and </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs27d\">severe but plausible scenario, the business has sufficient liquidity to repay this amount and does </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs27e\">not rely on this refinancing in order to remain a going concern. Significant liquidity and covenant </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs27f\">headroom was observed throughout the assessment period in this base model.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs280\">A severe but plausible scenario was analysed, where the Group is impacted by all principal risks </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls3 ws5 gs281\">in both 2024 and <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>2025, adjusted for probability weighting as well <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>as other significant <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>risks. For this </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs282\">and other downside scenarios tested, the net impact of the risks modelled was to reduce adjusted </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs283\">operating profit by around 40% in each year. Even under a severe downside case, the company </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs284\">would maintain comfortable liquidity headroom and sufficient headroom against covenant </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs285\">requirements during the period under assessment. That is, even before modelling the mitigating </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs286\">effect of actions that management would take if these downside risks were to crystalise. </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs287\">A reverse stress test was performed to identify the reduction in profit required to exhaust liquidity </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs288\">at 30 June 2025. The model showed that operating losses were required in both 2024 and 2025 to </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs289\">exhaust liquidity.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs28a\">The Directors have confirmed that there are no material uncertainties that cast doubt on the <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>Group\u2019s </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs28b\">going concern status and that they have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs28c\">resources to continue in operational existence beyond 30<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>June 2025.

Accrued interest is included as part of borrowings. Where a debt instrument is in a fair value hedging relationship, an adjustment is made to its carrying value in the income statement to reflect the hedged risk. Where a debt instrument is in a net investment hedge relationship, gains and losses on the effective portion of the hedge are recognised in other comprehensive income. Derivative financial instruments<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Derivatives are recognised at fair value and remeasured at each balance sheet date.

Changes in the value of the debt as a result of changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates are offset by equal and opposite changes in the value of the derivative. When the Group\u2019s debt is swapped to floating rates, the contracts used are designated as fair value hedges.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Gains and losses on the derivative are reported in finance income or finance costs. However, an equal and opposite change is made to the carrying value of the debt (a \u2018fair value adjustment\u2019) with the benefit/cost reported in finance income or finance costs. The net result should be a zero charge on a perfectly effective hedge.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>If the debt and derivative are disposed of, the value of the derivative and the debt (including the fair value adjustment) are reset to zero.

Courseware includes curriculum materials provided in book form and/or via access to digital content. Assessments includes test development, processing and scoring services provided to governments, educational institutions, corporations and professional bodies. Services includes the operation of schools, colleges and universities, as well as the provision of online learning services in partnership with universities and other academic institutions.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Revenue is recognised in order to depict the transfer of control of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. This process begins with the identification of our contract with a customer, which is generally through a master services agreement, customer purchase order, or a combination thereof. Within each contract, judgement is applied to determine the extent to which activities within the contract represent distinct performance obligations to be delivered and the total amount of transaction price to which we expect to be entitled.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The transaction price determined is net of sales taxes, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group. Where a contract contains multiple performance obligations such as the provision of supplementary materials or online access with textbooks, revenue is allocated on the basis of relative standalone selling prices. Where a contract contains variable consideration, significant estimation is required to determine the amount to which the Group is expected to <span class=\"ffe2\"> </span>be entitled. Revenue is recognised on contracts with customers when or as performance obligations are satisfied, which is the period or the point in time where control of goods or services transfers to <span class=\"ffe2\"> </span>the customer. Judgement is applied to determine first whether control passes over time and if not, then the point in time at which control passes. Where revenue is recognised over time, judgement  is used to determine the method which best depicts the transfer of control.<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>Where an input <span class=\"ffe2\"> </span>method is used, significant estimation is required to determine the progress towards delivering <span class=\"ffe2\"> </span>the performance obligation. If a contract with a customer is modified (change of scope, price or both), management uses judgement to determine whether changes to existing rights and obligations should be accounted for as a separate contract or as an adjustment to the existing contracts. Adjustments to existing contracts are either accounted for prospectively or through a cumulative catch up adjustment.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Revenue from the sale of books is recognised net of a provision for anticipated returns. This provision is based primarily on historical return rates, customer buying patterns and retailer behaviours including stock levels. If these estimates do not reflect actual returns in future periods then revenue could be understated or overstated for a particular period. When the provision for returns is remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in estimates, a corresponding adjustment is also recorded to revenue.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The Group may enter into contracts with another party in addition to our customer. In making the determination as to whether revenue should be recognised on a gross or net basis, the contract  with the customer is analysed to understand which party controls the relevant good or service prior to transferring to the customer. This judgement is informed by facts and circumstances of the contract in determining whether the Group has promised to provide the specified good or service or whether the Group is arranging for the transfer of the specified good or service, including which party is responsible for fulfilment, has discretion to set the price to the customer and is responsible for inventory risk. On certain contracts, where the Group acts as an agent, only commissions and fees receivable for services rendered are recognised as revenue. Any third-party costs incurred on behalf of the principal that are rechargeable under the contractual arrangement are not included  in revenue.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Income from recharges of freight and other activities which are incidental to the normal revenue-<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>generating activities is included in other income.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Additional details on the Group\u2019s revenue streams are also included in note 3",

The Group as a lessee \u2013 <span class=\"ffe2\">The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at the </span>inception of the contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date with respect to all lease arrangements except for short-term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets. For these leases, the lease payments are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, comprising the initial amount of the lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to restore the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset or the end of the lease term. The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate or a change in the Group\u2019s assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the right-of-use asset.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Management uses judgement to determine the lease term where extension and termination options are available within the lease.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>2. The Group as a lessor \u2013 <span class=\"ffe2\">When the Group is an intermediate lessor, the head lease and sublease </span>are accounted for as two separate contracts. The head lease is accounted for as per the lessee policy above. The sublease is classified as a finance lease or operating lease by reference to the <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. Where the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease; all other leases are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Amounts due from lessees under finance subleases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Group\u2019s net investment in the leases discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the discount rate used in the head lease.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>",

Going concern<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>In assessing the Group\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern for the period to 30 June 2025, the Board reviewed management\u2019s five-year plan, which was used as the base case. The review included available liquidity throughout the period and headroom against the Group\u2019s two main covenants, which require net debt to EBITDA to be a maximum of four times and interest cover to be at least three times.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>At 31 December 2023, the Group had available liquidity of c.\u00a31bn, comprising central cash balances and its undrawn $1bn Revolving Credit Facility (RCF). The company's subsidiary Pearson Funding plc has a debt maturity of \u20ac300m due within the going concern assessment period and it is assumed that this is refinanced ahead of time with a \u00a3250m bond or bank facility. In both the base case and severe but plausible scenario, the business has sufficient liquidity to repay this amount and does not rely on this refinancing in order to remain a going concern. Significant liquidity and covenant headroom was observed throughout the assessment period in this base model.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>A severe but plausible scenario was analysed, where the Group is impacted by all principal risks in both 2024 and <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>2025, adjusted for probability weighting as well <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>as other significant <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>risks. For this and other downside scenarios tested, the net impact of the risks modelled was to reduce adjusted operating profit by around 40% in each year. Even under a severe downside case, the company would maintain comfortable liquidity headroom and sufficient headroom against covenant requirements during the period under assessment. That is, even before modelling the mitigating effect of actions that management would take if these downside risks were to crystalise. A reverse stress test was performed to identify the reduction in profit required to exhaust liquidity at 30 June 2025. The model showed that operating losses were required in both 2024 and 2025 to exhaust liquidity.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The Directors have confirmed that there are no material uncertainties that cast doubt on the <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>Group\u2019s going concern status and that they have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence beyond 30<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>June 2025.

Nature of goods and services<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The following is a description of the nature of the Group\u2019s performance obligations within contracts with customers broken down by revenue stream, along with significant judgements and estimates made within each of those revenue streams.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Courseware<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Revenue is generated from customers through the sales of print and digital courseware materials to schools, bookstores and direct to individual learners. Goods and services may be sold separately or purchased together in bundled packages. The goods and services included in bundled arrangements are considered distinct performance obligations, except for where Pearson provides both a licence of intellectual property and an ongoing hosting service. As the licence of intellectual property is only available with the concurrent hosting service, the licence is not treated as a distinct performance obligation separate from the hosting service.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The transaction price is allocated between distinct performance obligations on the basis of their relative standalone selling prices. In determining the transaction price, variable consideration exists in the form of discounts and anticipated returns. Discounts reduce the transaction price on a given transaction. A provision for anticipated returns is made based primarily on historical return rates, customer buying patterns and retailer behaviours including stock levels. If these estimates do not reflect actual returns in future periods then revenue could be understated or overstated for a particular period. Variable consideration as described above is determined using the expected value approach. The sales return liability at the end of 2023 was \u00a331m (2022: \u00a353m; 2021: \u00a383m). While payment for these goods and services generally occurs at the start of these arrangements, the length of time between payment and delivery of the performance obligations is generally short-<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>term in nature or the reason for early payment relates to reasons other than financing, including customers securing a vendor in a longer-term arrangement or the transfer of goods or services is at the discretion of the customer. For these reasons and the use of the practical expedient on short-<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>term financing, significant financing components are not recognised within Courseware transactions.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs303\">Revenue from the sale of physical books is recognised at a point in time when control passes.

Percentage of completion is used to recognise the transfer of </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs33b\">control of services provided as these services are not provided evenly throughout the testing cycle </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs33c\">and involve varying degrees of effort during the contract term. </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs33d\">Losses on contracts are recognised in the period in which the loss first becomes foreseeable. </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs33e\">Contract losses are determined to be the amount by which estimated total costs of the contract </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs33f\">exceed the estimated total revenue that will be generated.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs340\">In Assessments contracts driven primarily by transactions directly to end users, Pearson\u2019s main </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs341\">obligation to the customer involves test delivery and scoring. Test delivery and scoring are defined </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs342\">as a single performance obligation delivered over time whether the test is subsequently manually </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs343\">scored or digitally scored on the day of the assessment. Customers may also purchase print and </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs344\">digital supplemental materials. Print products in this revenue stream are recognised at a point in </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs345\">time when control passes to the customer upon shipment. Recognition of digital revenue will occur </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs346\">based on the extent of Pearson\u2019s ongoing hosting obligation. </div>Services<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Revenue is primarily generated from multi-year contractual arrangements related to large-scale educational service delivery to academic institutions, such as schools and higher education universities. Under these arrangements, while an agreement may span multiple years, the contract duration has been determined to be each academic period based on the structure of contracts, including clauses regarding termination. While in some cases the customer may have the ability  to terminate during the term for convenience, significant financial or qualitative barriers exist <span class=\"ffe2\"> </span>limiting the potential for such terminations in the middle of an academic period. The academic period for this customer base is normally an academic year for schools and a semester for higher education universities.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Within each academic period, a variety of services are provided such as programme development, student acquisition, education technology and student support services. These services are not distinct in the context of the customer contract as Pearson provides an integrated managed service offering and these activities <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>are accounted for together as a comprehensive <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>performance obligation.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Where Services are provided to university customers, volume and transaction price are fixed at the start of the semester. Where Services are provided to school customers, the transaction price may contain both fixed and variable amounts which require estimation during the academic period. Estimation is required where consideration is based upon average enrolments or other metrics which are not known at the start of the academic year. Variable consideration is measured using <span class=\"ffe2\"> </span>the expected value method. Historical experience, current <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>trends, local circumstances and customer-<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>specific funding formulas are considered in estimating and constraining variable consideration. <span class=\"ffe2\"> </span>To the extent that a higher degree of uncertainty exists regarding variable consideration, these amounts are excluded from the transaction price and recognised when the uncertainty is  reasonably removed.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Customer payments are generally defined in the contract as occurring shortly after invoicing. Where there is a longer payment term offered to a customer through a payment schedule, payment terms are within 12 months and the Group has elected to use the practical expedient available in IFRS 15 and not identify a significant financing component on these transactions.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Revenue is recognised for Service contracts over time as the customer is benefiting as performance takes place through a continuous transfer of control to the customer. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contracts which may allow the customer to terminate for convenience, compensate for work performed to date, and take possession of work <span class=\"ffe2\"> </span>in process. As control transfers over time, revenue is recognised based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgement and is based on the nature<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>of the products or services provided. Within the comprehensive service obligation, the timing of services occurs relatively evenly over each academic period and, as such, time elapsed is used to recognise the transfer of control to the customer on a straight-line basis.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Losses on contracts are recognised in the period in which the loss first becomes foreseeable. Contract losses are determined to be the amount by which estimated total costs of the contract exceed the estimated total revenue that will be generated.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>In cases of optional or add-on purchases, institutions may purchase physical goods priced at their standalone value, which are accounted for separately and recognised at the point in time when control passes to the customer upon shipment.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>b. Disaggregation of revenue<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The tables in notes 2 and 3 show revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by operating segment, geography and revenue stream. These disaggregation categories are appropriate as they represent the key groupings used in managing and evaluating underlying performance of each of the businesses. The categories also reflect groups of similar types of transactional characteristics, among similar customers, with similar accounting conclusions. c. Contract balances<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Transactions within the Courseware revenue stream generally entail customer billings at or near the contract\u2019s inception and accordingly Courseware deferred income balances are primarily related to subscription performance obligations to be delivered over time.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Transactions within the Assessments and Services revenue streams generally entail customer billings over time based on periodic intervals, progress towards milestones or enrolment census dates. As the performance obligations within these arrangements are delivered over time, the extent of accrued income or deferred income will ultimately depend upon the difference between revenue recognised and billings to date.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Refer to note 22 for opening and closing balances of accrued income. Refer to note 24 for opening and closing balances of deferred income. Revenue recognised during the period from changes in deferred income was driven primarily by the release of revenue over time from digital subscriptions. d. Contract costs<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The Group capitalises incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers where it is expected these costs will be recoverable. Incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers are considered those which would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained. For the Group, these costs relate primarily to sales commissions. The Group has elected to use the practical expedient as allowable by IFRS 15 whereby such costs will be expensed as incurred where the expected amortisation period is one year or less. Where the amortisation period is greater than one year, these costs are amortised over the contract term on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of the underlying goods and services within the contract to which these costs relate, which will generally be on a rateable basis. The Group does not recognise any material costs to fulfil contracts with customers as these types of activities are governed by other accounting standards.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span><div class=\"t m0 he ffe3 fs4 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs394\">e.

Discounts reduce the transaction price on a given transaction. A provision for </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs2f7\">anticipated returns is made based primarily on historical return rates, customer buying patterns </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffe8 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs2f8\">and retailer behaviours including stock levels. If these estimates do not reflect actual returns in </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs2f9\">future periods then revenue could be understated or overstated for a particular period. Variable </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs2fa\">consideration as described above is determined using the expected value approach.

This is generally at the point of shipment when title passes to the customer, when the Group has a present right to payment and the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. Revenue from physical books sold through the direct print rental method is recognised over the rental period, as the customer is simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits of this rental service through the passage of time.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Revenue from the sale of digital courseware products is recognised on a straight-line basis over the subscription period, unless hosted by a third party or representative of a downloadable product, in which case Pearson has no ongoing obligation and recognises revenue when control transfers as the customer is granted access to the digital product. Revenue from the sale of \u2018off-the-shelf\u2019 software is recognised on delivery or on installation of the software where that is a condition of the contract. In certain circumstances, where installation is complex, revenue is recognised when the customer has completed their acceptance procedures. Assessments<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Revenue is primarily generated from multi-year contractual arrangements related to large-scale assessment delivery, such as contracts to process qualifying tests for individual professions and government departments, and is recognised as performance occurs. Under these arrangements, while the agreement spans multiple years, the contract duration has been determined to be each testing cycle based on contract structure, including clauses regarding termination. While in some cases the customer may have the ability to terminate during the term for convenience, significant financial or qualitative barriers exist limiting the potential for such terminations in the middle of a testing cycle.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Within each testing cycle, a variety of service activities are performed such as test administration, delivery, scoring, reporting, item development, operational services and programme management. These services are not treated as distinct in the context of the customer contract as Pearson provides an integrated managed service offering and these activities are accounted for together as one comprehensive performance obligation. Within each testing cycle, the transaction price may contain both fixed and variable amounts. Variable consideration within these transactions primarily relates to expected testing volumes to be delivered in the cycle. The assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent to long-term contract accounting can affect the amounts and timing of revenue and related expenses reported. Variable consideration is measured using the expected value method, except where amounts are contingent upon a future event\u2019s occurrence, such as performance bonuses. Such event-driven contingency payments are measured using the most likely amount approach. In estimating and constraining variable consideration, historical experience, current trends and local market conditions are considered. To the extent that a higher degree of uncertainty exists regarding variable consideration, these amounts are excluded from the transaction price and recognised when the uncertainty is reasonably removed.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Customer payments are generally defined in the contract through a payment schedule, which may require customer acceptance for services rendered. Pearson has a history of providing satisfactory services which are accepted by the customer. While a delay between rendering of services and payment may exist, payment terms are within 12 months and the Group has elected to use the practical expedient available in IFRS 15 \u2018Revenue from Contracts with Customers\u2019 and not identify a significant financing component on these transactions.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Revenue is recognised for Assessment contracts over time as the customer is benefiting as performance takes place through a continuous transfer of control to the customer. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contracts which may allow the customer to terminate for convenience, compensate us for work performed to date, and take possession of work in process. As control transfers over time, revenue is recognised based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgement and is based on the nature of the services provided. Revenue is recognised on a percentage of costs basis, calculated using the proportion of the total estimated costs incurred to date. The proportion of estimated costs incurred to date is primarily based on historical cost analysis for similar groups of contracts, with regular true-ups to contract costs throughout the contract period. Percentage of completion is used to recognise the transfer of control of services provided as these services are not provided evenly throughout the testing cycle and involve varying degrees of effort during the contract term. Losses on contracts are recognised in the period in which the loss first becomes foreseeable. Contract losses are determined to be the amount by which estimated total costs of the contract exceed the estimated total revenue that will be generated.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>In Assessments contracts driven primarily by transactions directly to end users, Pearson\u2019s main obligation to the customer involves test delivery and scoring. Test delivery and scoring are defined as a single performance obligation delivered over time whether the test is subsequently manually scored or digitally scored on the day of the assessment. Customers may also purchase print and digital supplemental materials. Print products in this revenue stream are recognised at a point in time when control passes to the customer upon shipment. Recognition of digital revenue will occur based on the extent of Pearson\u2019s ongoing hosting obligation.<div class=\"t m0 he ffe3 fs4 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs348\">Services<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs349\">Revenue is primarily generated from multi-year contractual arrangements related to large-scale </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs34a\">educational service delivery to academic institutions, such as schools and higher education </div><div class=\"t m0 h5 ffe2 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs34b\">universities.

_16\"></span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _17\"> </span>The level of provisions required in relation to uncertain tax positions is complex and each matter is separately assessed. The estimation of future settlement amounts is based on a number of factors including the status of the unresolved matter, clarity of legislation, range of possible outcomes and the statute of limitations. Included in net expense not subject to tax are foreign taxes not creditable, the tax impact of share-<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>based payments and other expenses not deductible.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Factors which may affect future tax charges include changes in tax legislation, transfer <span class=\"ffe2\"> </span>pricing regulations, the level and mix of profitability in different countries, and settlements <span class=\"ffe2\"> </span>with tax authorities.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>UK legislation in relation to Pillar Two was substantively enacted on 20 June 2023 and was effective from 1 January 2024. The Group is in scope of this legislation and has performed an assessment of the Group\u2019s potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes. The assessment of the potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes is based on the most recent financial information available for the constituent entities in the Group. Based on the assessment, the Pillar Two effective tax rates in most of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates are above 15%. However, there are a limited number of jurisdictions where the transitional safe harbour relief does not apply and the Pillar Two effective tax rate is close to 15%. The Group does not expect a material exposure to Pillar Two income taxes in those jurisdictions.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The movement in provisions for tax uncertainties primarily reflects releases due to the expiry of relevant statutes of limitation, settlement of certain audits and reassessment of existing exposures based on currently available information and tax authority correspondence. The current tax liability of \u00a332m (2022: \u00a343m; 2021: \u00a3125m) includes \u00a327m (2022: \u00a328m; 2021: \u00a3104m) of provisions for tax uncertainties principally in respect of several matters in the US and the UK. The Group is currently under audit in several countries, and the timing of any resolution of these audits is uncertain. In most countries, tax years up to and including 2018 are now statute barred from examination by tax authorities, however, a balance of \u00a31m relates to certain remaining open issues. Of the remaining \u00a326m balance, \u00a312m relates to 2019, \u00a34m to 2020, \u00a34m to 2021, \u00a33m to 2022 and \u00a33m to 2023. The tax authorities may take a different view from management and the final liability may be greater or lower than provided.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The matters provided for<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>include a provision of \u00a363m related to the potential EU State Aid exposure and the potential disallowance of intra-group charges. In relation to the potential EU State Aid exposure, a payment was made in 2022 in relation to the maximum potential exposure with the provision of \u00a363m offset against this resulting in a \u00a341m non-current tax debtor.

All property related <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>assets were assessed for impairment as a <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>result of this <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>triggering event and impairment charges of <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>\u00a346m in 2022 and \u00a3141m in 2021 <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>recognised within costs <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>of major restructuring (see note 4 <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>for details). In 2023, there were impairment <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>charges of \u00a311m <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>in respect of property assets including \u00a39m <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>in relation to property assets which are <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>classified as assets <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>held for sale. The recoverability of <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>certain of the Group\u2019s right-of-use assets is <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>now based on <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>the Group\u2019s ability to sublease vacant space. <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>This involves the use of assumptions related <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>to future subleases <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>including the achievable rent, lease <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>start dates, lease incentives such as rent <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>free periods and <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>the discount rate applied. Should the future <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>sublease outcomes be more or less favourable <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>than the assumptions <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>used by management this could <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>result in additional impairment charges or reversals <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>of impairment charges.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>In 2023, total additions to right-of-use-assets are \u00a342m (2022: \u00a349m) including \u00a315m (2022: \u00a315m) in respect of investment property.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Investment property<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Buildings, or portions of buildings, that are no longer occupied by the Group and are held for operating lease rental are classified as investment property. Investment property includes both, right-of-use assets and owned assets. The Group recognised rental income of \u00a36m (2022: \u00a33m; 2021 \u00a3nil) in relation to properties classified as investment property. Investment property is measured using the cost model. As a result of recent impairments, the fair value of investment property is equal to the carrying value. The fair value of investment property has been determined using a discounted cash flow model. The<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>valuation model is internally generated but uses inputs from external, independent property valuers, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued. The valuations require the application of judgement and involve the use of known inputs for existing contracted subleases as well as assumptions related to future potential subleases including the achievable rent, lease start dates, lease incentives such as rent free periods and the discount rate applied. The fair value measurement of investment properties has been classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs and valuation technique used. Should the future sublease outcomes be more or less favourable than the assumptions used by management this could result in additional impairment charges or reversals of impairment charges.",

assumptions related to the ability </span>to sublease vacant leased assets in the future. Depreciation expense of \u00a340m (2022: \u00a345m; 2021: \u00a340m) has been included in the income statement in<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>cost of goods sold and \u00a339m (2022: \u00a345m; 2021: \u00a355m) in operating expenses. The impairment charge<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>of \u00a32m (2022: \u00a346m; 2021: \u00a3146m) has been included within operating expenses within the income statement. Property, plant and equipment <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>(including investment property) assets are assessed for <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>impairment triggers annually or when <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>triggering events occur. In 2022 and 2021, <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>as part of <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>a major restructuring programme, the Group continued <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>to simplify its property portfolio, reducing the <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>overall office space required. All property related <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>assets were assessed for impairment as a <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>result of this <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>triggering event and impairment charges of <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>\u00a346m in 2022 and \u00a3141m in 2021 <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>recognised within costs <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>of major restructuring (see note 4 <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>for details). In 2023, there were impairment <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>charges of \u00a311m <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>in respect of property assets including \u00a39m <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>in relation to property assets which are <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>classified as assets <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>held for sale. The recoverability of <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>certain of the Group\u2019s right-of-use assets is <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>now based on <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>the Group\u2019s ability to sublease vacant space. <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>This involves the use of assumptions related <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>to future subleases <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>including the achievable rent, lease <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>start dates, lease incentives such as rent <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>free periods and <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>the discount rate applied. Should the future <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>sublease outcomes be more or less favourable <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>than the assumptions <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>used by management this could <span class=\"_ _2d\"></span>result in additional impairment charges or reversals <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>of impairment charges.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>In 2023, total additions to right-of-use-assets are \u00a342m (2022: \u00a349m) including \u00a315m (2022: \u00a315m) in respect of investment property.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Investment property<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Buildings, or portions of buildings, that are no longer occupied by the Group and are held for operating lease rental are classified as investment property. Investment property includes both, right-of-use assets and owned assets. The Group recognised rental income of \u00a36m (2022: \u00a33m; 2021 \u00a3nil) in relation to properties classified as investment property. Investment property is measured using the cost model. As a result of recent impairments, the fair value of investment property is equal to the carrying value. The fair value of investment property has been determined using a discounted cash flow model. The<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>valuation model is internally generated but uses inputs from external, independent property valuers, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued. The valuations require the application of judgement and involve the use of known inputs for existing contracted subleases as well as assumptions related to future potential subleases including the achievable rent, lease start dates, lease incentives such as rent free periods and the discount rate applied. The fair value measurement of investment properties has been classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs and valuation technique used. Should the future sublease outcomes be more or less favourable than the assumptions used by management this could result in additional impairment charges or reversals of impairment charges.",

Prior to 1 January 1998, all goodwill was written off to reserves on the date<span class=\"ffef\"> </span>of acquisition. For acquisitions completed between 1 January 1998 and 31 December 2002,<span class=\"ffef\"> </span>no value was ascribed to intangibles other than goodwill which was amortised over a period<span class=\"ffef\"> </span>of up to 20 years. On adoption of IFRS on 1 January 2003, the Group chose not to restate the goodwill balance and at that date the balance was frozen (i.e. amortisation ceased). If goodwill<span class=\"ffef\"> </span>had been restated, then a significant value would have been ascribed to other intangible assets, which would be subject to amortisation, and the carrying value of goodwill would be significantly lower. For acquisitions completed after 1 January 2003, value has been ascribed to other intangible assets which are amortised.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Software and acquired intangible assets<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Acquired intangible assets are valued separately for each acquisition. For material business combinations, the valuation is determined with the support of a third-party specialist. The primary method of valuation used is the discounted cash flow method. Acquired intangibles are amortised either on a straight line basis or using an amortisation profile based on the projected cash flows underlying the acquisition date valuation of the intangible asset, which generally results in a larger proportion of amortisation being recognised in the early years of the asset\u2019s life, depending<span class=\"ffef\"> </span>on the individual asset. The Group keeps the expected pattern of consumption under review. Other intangibles acquired includes technology.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Amortisation of \u00a337m (2022: \u00a332m; 2021: \u00a325m) is included in the income statement in cost of goods sold and \u00a3132m (2022: \u00a3147m; 2021: \u00a3138m) in operating expenses.

The result of this was that no goodwill was allocated to the disposed business.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Key assumptions<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>For the purpose of estimating the value in use of the CGUs, management has used an income approach based on present value techniques. The calculations for all CGUs use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The key assumptions used by management in the value in use calculations were:<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Discount rates<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 The discount rates are based on the Group\u2019s weighted average cost of capital, </span>where the cost of equity is calculated based on the risk-free rate of government bonds, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the increased risk in investing in equities. Where CGUs cover multiple territories, a blended risk-free rate is used. Base discount rates were assessed as reflecting underlying economic conditions, and so no further risk premiums were considered necessary. The average pre-tax discount rates range from 10.4% to 13.0% (2022: pre-tax 11.6% to 12.0%). Perpetuity growth rates<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 The perpetuity growth rates are based on inflation trends. A perpetuity </span>growth rate of 2% (2022: 2%) was used for cash flows subsequent to the approved budget period for CGUs operating primarily in mature markets. This perpetuity growth rate is a conservative rate and is considered to be lower than the long-term historical growth rates of the underlying territories in which the CGU operates and the long-term growth rate prospects of the sectors in which the CGU operates. A blended growth rate of 3.5% (2022: 3.5%) was used for cash flows subsequent to the approved budget period for English Language Learning which has a higher exposure to emerging markets with higher inflation. This geographically blended growth rate is generally in line with the long-term historical growth rates in those markets. The key assumptions used by management in setting the financial budgets were as follows:<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Forecast sales growth rates<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 Forecast sales growth rates are based on past experience adjusted </span>for the strategic direction and near-term investment priorities within each CGU. Key assumptions include growth in English Language Learning and Workforce Skills \u2013 due to product-led share gains and contribution from new acquisitions, recovery in Higher Education, growth in Virtual Learning \u2013 albeit impacted by school churn in Virtual Schools in the short term, and steady growth in Assessments and Qualifications. The sales forecasts use average nominal growth rates of low-mid single digits for mature businesses in mature markets and double digit growth where there has been significant organic and/or inorganic investment. Operating profits<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 Operating profits are forecast based on historical experience of operating </span>margins, adjusted for the impact of changes to product costs, strategic developments and new business cases to the extent they have been formally approved prior to the balance sheet date. Management applies judgement in allocating corporate costs on a reasonable and consistent basis in order to determine operating profit at a CGU level. Management have considered the impact of climate change risks (including physical and transition risks and the costs associated with achieving the Group's net zero commitment) and are satisfied that any related costs will not materially impact the Group\u2019s profit forecasts or impairment judgements at 31 December 2023.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The table below shows the key assumptions used by management in the value in use calculations.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span><table class=\"s w1a2 h114\" id=\"_f2966159-93ee-48fe-992b-5b56516ac173\"><tr><td></td><td></td><td class=\"c n x9ba y3b86 w36 he1\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffed fsb fc0 sc0 ls0 ws0\">2023<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td></td><td class=\"c n x9bb y3b86 w36 hf9\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">2022<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td class=\"t m0 x9bc h1b y3b87 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Perpetuity<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td><td></td><td class=\"t m0 x9bd h1b y3b87 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Perpetuity<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td></tr><tr><td></td><td class=\"t m0 x9be h1b y3b88 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Discount rate<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td><td class=\"c n x9bf y3b89 w1a3 hf9\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">growth rate<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n x9c0 y3b89 w1a4 hf9\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Discount rate</div></td><td class=\"t m0 x9c1 h1b y3b88 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">growth rate<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td></tr><tr><td class=\"c n x22f y3b8a wdd he5\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y3999 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Assessment &amp;

Product development assets relating to content are amortised over seven years or less, being an estimate of the expected operating lifecycle of the title, with a higher proportion of the amortisation taken in the earlier years. Product development assets relating to product platforms are amortised over ten years or less. Amortisation is included in the income statement in cost of goods sold. Product development assets are assessed for impairment triggers on an annual basis or when triggering events occur. In 2023, of the \u00a34m (2022: \u00a315m) impairment charges, \u00a3nil (2022: \u00a313m; 2021: \u00a314m) have been recognised as a result of asset write-offs related to the major restructuring programme. The full annual impairment test showed that there is adequate headroom across all product development assets and accordingly no further impairment charges were recognised in 2023 (2022: \u00a3nil; 2021: \u00a3nil).",

Prior to 1 January 1998, all goodwill was written off to reserves on the date<span class=\"ffef\"> </span>of acquisition. For acquisitions completed between 1 January 1998 and 31 December 2002,<span class=\"ffef\"> </span>no value was ascribed to intangibles other than goodwill which was amortised over a period<span class=\"ffef\"> </span>of up to 20 years. On adoption of IFRS on 1 January 2003, the Group chose not to restate the goodwill balance and at that date the balance was frozen (i.e. amortisation ceased). If goodwill<span class=\"ffef\"> </span>had been restated, then a significant value would have been ascribed to other intangible assets, which would be subject to amortisation, and the carrying value of goodwill would be significantly lower. For acquisitions completed after 1 January 2003, value has been ascribed to other intangible assets which are amortised.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Software and acquired intangible assets<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Acquired intangible assets are valued separately for each acquisition. For material business combinations, the valuation is determined with the support of a third-party specialist. The primary method of valuation used is the discounted cash flow method. Acquired intangibles are amortised either on a straight line basis or using an amortisation profile based on the projected cash flows underlying the acquisition date valuation of the intangible asset, which generally results in a larger proportion of amortisation being recognised in the early years of the asset\u2019s life, depending<span class=\"ffef\"> </span>on the individual asset. The Group keeps the expected pattern of consumption under review. Other intangibles acquired includes technology.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Amortisation of \u00a337m (2022: \u00a332m; 2021: \u00a325m) is included in the income statement in cost of goods sold and \u00a3132m (2022: \u00a3147m; 2021: \u00a3138m) in operating expenses.

The recoverable amount of each aggregated CGU is based on the higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. The impairment assessment is based on value in use. Other than goodwill there are no intangible assets with indefinite lives. No impairments of goodwill were recorded in 2023 or 2022.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>KE<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Key areas of estimation <span class=\"_ _16\"></span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _17\"> </span><span class=\"ffee\">The valuation of acquired intangible assets recognised on the acquisition of a business. </span>The<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>valuation is based on a number of assumptions, including estimations of future business performance. See<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>note 30. Determination of CGUs and reallocation of goodwill<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Pearson identifies its CGUs based on its operating model and how data is collected and <span class=\"ffef\"> </span>reviewed for management reporting and strategic planning purposes in accordance with IAS 36 \u2018Impairment of Assets\u2019. The CGUs and CGU aggregations reflect the level at which goodwill is monitored by management. In 2022, the separate CGUs of China, South Africa and Canada were disposed. The goodwill related to<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>the<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>Strategic Review CGU was reallocated between businesses disposed and businesses retained. All<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>of<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>the<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>goodwill related to businesses retained was transferred to the Assessment &amp; Qualifications CGU<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>aggregation. In 2023, business disposals resulted in the disposal of \u00a353m of intangible assets (see note 31 for further details). A relative value method was used to allocate goodwill to the disposed business in the Virtual Learning CGU aggregation. The result of this was that no goodwill was allocated to the disposed business.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Key assumptions<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>For the purpose of estimating the value in use of the CGUs, management has used an income approach based on present value techniques. The calculations for all CGUs use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The key assumptions used by management in the value in use calculations were:<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Discount rates<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 The discount rates are based on the Group\u2019s weighted average cost of capital, </span>where the cost of equity is calculated based on the risk-free rate of government bonds, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the increased risk in investing in equities. Where CGUs cover multiple territories, a blended risk-free rate is used. Base discount rates were assessed as reflecting underlying economic conditions, and so no further risk premiums were considered necessary. The average pre-tax discount rates range from 10.4% to 13.0% (2022: pre-tax 11.6% to 12.0%). Perpetuity growth rates<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 The perpetuity growth rates are based on inflation trends. A perpetuity </span>growth rate of 2% (2022: 2%) was used for cash flows subsequent to the approved budget period for CGUs operating primarily in mature markets. This perpetuity growth rate is a conservative rate and is considered to be lower than the long-term historical growth rates of the underlying territories in which the CGU operates and the long-term growth rate prospects of the sectors in which the CGU operates. A blended growth rate of 3.5% (2022: 3.5%) was used for cash flows subsequent to the approved budget period for English Language Learning which has a higher exposure to emerging markets with higher inflation. This geographically blended growth rate is generally in line with the long-term historical growth rates in those markets. The key assumptions used by management in setting the financial budgets were as follows:<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Forecast sales growth rates<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 Forecast sales growth rates are based on past experience adjusted </span>for the strategic direction and near-term investment priorities within each CGU. Key assumptions include growth in English Language Learning and Workforce Skills \u2013 due to product-led share gains and contribution from new acquisitions, recovery in Higher Education, growth in Virtual Learning \u2013 albeit impacted by school churn in Virtual Schools in the short term, and steady growth in Assessments and Qualifications. The sales forecasts use average nominal growth rates of low-mid single digits for mature businesses in mature markets and double digit growth where there has been significant organic and/or inorganic investment. Operating profits<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 Operating profits are forecast based on historical experience of operating </span>margins, adjusted for the impact of changes to product costs, strategic developments and new business cases to the extent they have been formally approved prior to the balance sheet date. Management applies judgement in allocating corporate costs on a reasonable and consistent basis in order to determine operating profit at a CGU level. Management have considered the impact of climate change risks (including physical and transition risks and the costs associated with achieving the Group's net zero commitment) and are satisfied that any related costs will not materially impact the Group\u2019s profit forecasts or impairment judgements at 31 December 2023.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The table below shows the key assumptions used by management in the value in use calculations.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span><table class=\"s w1a2 h114\" id=\"_f2966159-93ee-48fe-992b-5b56516ac173\"><tr><td></td><td></td><td class=\"c n x9ba y3b86 w36 he1\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffed fsb fc0 sc0 ls0 ws0\">2023<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td></td><td class=\"c n x9bb y3b86 w36 hf9\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">2022<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td class=\"t m0 x9bc h1b y3b87 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Perpetuity<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td><td></td><td class=\"t m0 x9bd h1b y3b87 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Perpetuity<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td></tr><tr><td></td><td class=\"t m0 x9be h1b y3b88 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Discount rate<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td><td class=\"c n x9bf y3b89 w1a3 hf9\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">growth rate<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n x9c0 y3b89 w1a4 hf9\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Discount rate</div></td><td class=\"t m0 x9c1 h1b y3b88 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">growth rate<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td></tr><tr><td class=\"c n x22f y3b8a wdd he5\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y3999 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Assessment &amp;

See<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>note 30. Determination of CGUs and reallocation of goodwill<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Pearson identifies its CGUs based on its operating model and how data is collected and <span class=\"ffef\"> </span>reviewed for management reporting and strategic planning purposes in accordance with IAS 36 \u2018Impairment of Assets\u2019. The CGUs and CGU aggregations reflect the level at which goodwill is monitored by management. In 2022, the separate CGUs of China, South Africa and Canada were disposed. The goodwill related to<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>the<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>Strategic Review CGU was reallocated between businesses disposed and businesses retained. All<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>of<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>the<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>goodwill related to businesses retained was transferred to the Assessment &amp; Qualifications CGU<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>aggregation. In 2023, business disposals resulted in the disposal of \u00a353m of intangible assets (see note 31 for further details). A relative value method was used to allocate goodwill to the disposed business in the Virtual Learning CGU aggregation. The result of this was that no goodwill was allocated to the disposed business.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Key assumptions<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>For the purpose of estimating the value in use of the CGUs, management has used an income approach based on present value techniques. The calculations for all CGUs use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The key assumptions used by management in the value in use calculations were:<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Discount rates<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 The discount rates are based on the Group\u2019s weighted average cost of capital, </span>where the cost of equity is calculated based on the risk-free rate of government bonds, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the increased risk in investing in equities. Where CGUs cover multiple territories, a blended risk-free rate is used. Base discount rates were assessed as reflecting underlying economic conditions, and so no further risk premiums were considered necessary. The average pre-tax discount rates range from 10.4% to 13.0% (2022: pre-tax 11.6% to 12.0%). Perpetuity growth rates<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 The perpetuity growth rates are based on inflation trends. A perpetuity </span>growth rate of 2% (2022: 2%) was used for cash flows subsequent to the approved budget period for CGUs operating primarily in mature markets. This perpetuity growth rate is a conservative rate and is considered to be lower than the long-term historical growth rates of the underlying territories in which the CGU operates and the long-term growth rate prospects of the sectors in which the CGU operates. A blended growth rate of 3.5% (2022: 3.5%) was used for cash flows subsequent to the approved budget period for English Language Learning which has a higher exposure to emerging markets with higher inflation. This geographically blended growth rate is generally in line with the long-term historical growth rates in those markets. The key assumptions used by management in setting the financial budgets were as follows:<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Forecast sales growth rates<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 Forecast sales growth rates are based on past experience adjusted </span>for the strategic direction and near-term investment priorities within each CGU. Key assumptions include growth in English Language Learning and Workforce Skills \u2013 due to product-led share gains and contribution from new acquisitions, recovery in Higher Education, growth in Virtual Learning \u2013 albeit impacted by school churn in Virtual Schools in the short term, and steady growth in Assessments and Qualifications. The sales forecasts use average nominal growth rates of low-mid single digits for mature businesses in mature markets and double digit growth where there has been significant organic and/or inorganic investment. Operating profits<span class=\"ffee\"> \u2013 Operating profits are forecast based on historical experience of operating </span>margins, adjusted for the impact of changes to product costs, strategic developments and new business cases to the extent they have been formally approved prior to the balance sheet date. Management applies judgement in allocating corporate costs on a reasonable and consistent basis in order to determine operating profit at a CGU level. Management have considered the impact of climate change risks (including physical and transition risks and the costs associated with achieving the Group's net zero commitment) and are satisfied that any related costs will not materially impact the Group\u2019s profit forecasts or impairment judgements at 31 December 2023.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs420\">The table below shows the key assumptions used by management in the value in use calculations.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div><div class=\"gs421\"><table class=\"s w1a2 h114\" id=\"_f2966159-93ee-48fe-992b-5b56516ac173\"><tr><td></td><td></td><td class=\"c n x9ba y3b86 w36 he1\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffed fsb fc0 sc0 ls0 ws0\">2023<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td></td><td class=\"c n x9bb y3b86 w36 hf9\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">2022<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td class=\"t m0 x9bc h1b y3b87 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Perpetuity<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td><td></td><td class=\"t m0 x9bd h1b y3b87 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Perpetuity<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td></tr><tr><td></td><td class=\"t m0 x9be h1b y3b88 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Discount rate<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td><td class=\"c n x9bf y3b89 w1a3 hf9\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">growth rate<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n x9c0 y3b89 w1a4 hf9\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Discount rate</div></td><td class=\"t m0 x9c1 h1b y3b88 ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">growth rate<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></td></tr><tr><td class=\"c n x22f y3b8a wdd he5\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y3999 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Assessment &amp;

This includes \u00a3196m (2022: \u00a3193m) in respect of interest limitations.

This primarily arises in respect of tax losses in Brazil, India and Australia. It is considered more likely than not that there will be sufficient future taxable profits to realise these assets.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The recognition of the deferred income tax assets is supported by management\u2019s forecasts of the future profitability of the relevant countries. In some cases deferred income tax assets are forecast to be recovered through taxable profits over a period that exceeds five years. Management consider these forecasts are sufficiently reliable to support the recovery of the assets. Where there are insufficient forecasts of future profits, deferred income tax assets have not been recognised.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The movement in deferred income tax assets and liabilities

increase in unrecognised tax losses in the US is principally due to the crystallisation of <span class=\"ffef\"> </span>a capital loss on disposal during the year which has not been recognised for tax purposes. <span class=\"ffef\"> </span>Other unrecognised tax losses includes \u00a3155m gross (2022: \u00a3140m) and \u00a353m tax effected <span class=\"ffef\"> </span>(2022: \u00a348m) relating to Brazil.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Other gross deductible temporary differences for which no deferred tax asset is recognised total \u00a3201m (2022: \u00a3218m). This includes \u00a3196m (2022: \u00a3193m) in respect of interest limitations. The amount of temporary differences associated with subsidiaries for which no deferred tax has been provided totals \u00a3268m (2022:<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>\u00a3275m).<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Deferred income tax assets of \u00a318m (2022: \u00a314m) have been recognised in countries that reported a tax loss in either the current or preceding year. This primarily arises in respect of tax losses in Brazil, India and Australia. It is considered more likely than not that there will be sufficient future taxable profits to realise these assets.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The recognition of the deferred income tax assets is supported by management\u2019s forecasts of the future profitability of the relevant countries. In some cases deferred income tax assets are forecast to be recovered through taxable profits over a period that exceeds five years. Management consider these forecasts are sufficiently reliable to support the recovery of the assets. Where there are insufficient forecasts of future profits, deferred income tax assets have not been recognised.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The movement in deferred income tax assets and liabilities

This includes \u00a3196m (2022: \u00a3193m) in respect of interest limitations.

This primarily arises in respect of tax losses in Brazil, India and Australia. It is considered more likely than not that there will be sufficient future taxable profits to realise these assets.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The recognition of the deferred income tax assets is supported by management\u2019s forecasts of the future profitability of the relevant countries. In some cases deferred income tax assets are forecast to be recovered through taxable profits over a period that exceeds five years. Management consider these forecasts are sufficiently reliable to support the recovery of the assets. Where there are insufficient forecasts of future profits, deferred income tax assets have not been recognised.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The movement in deferred income tax assets and liabilities

In 2022, for USD<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>exposures the<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>Group transitioned its RCF from USD LIBOR to SOFR.

The hedged risk is the change in the euro bonds fair value<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>attributable to interest rate movements. The hedged items are the Group\u2019s euro bonds which are<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>issued at a fixed rate. The hedging instruments are fixed to floating euro interest rate swaps where<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>the Group receives fixed interest payments and pays three-month Euribor.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>As the critical terms of the interest rate swaps match the bonds, there is an expectation that the<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>value of<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>the hedging instrument and the value of the hedged item will move equally in the opposite<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>direction as<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>a<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>result of movements in the zero coupon Euribor curve. Potential sources of hedge<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>ineffectiveness would be material changes in the credit risk of swap counterparties or a reduction or<span class=\"_ _36a\">

underlying asset, recent funding rounds and amounts realised on the sale of similar<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>assets. The other receivable relates to \u00a312m (2022: \u00a3nil) in respect of the contingent consideration receivable for the sale of the POLS business, which comprises a 27.5% share of positive adjusted EBITDA in each calendar year for six years and 27.5% of the proceeds received by the purchaser in relation to any future monetisation event. The valuation of the deferred consideration has been determined on the basis of a discounted cash flow model, and valued by a third-party specialist. The key inputs into the discounted cash flow model are the estimates of adjusted EBITDA for the next 6 years and the estimate of the valuation of the business thereafter. Reasonably possible changes in assumptions for the inputs into the model would not have a material impact on the carrying value of the contingent consideration, and therefore sensitivities have not been disclosed.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The deferred consideration payable in respect of prior year acquisitions is measured as the net present value of the expected cash flows. The movement in the fair value of the deferred consideration payable is shown in the table below: <table class=\"s w1e2 h11c\" id=\"_b8d763fe-1d32-4743-9974-04073bccd665\"><tr><td></td><td class=\"c n x22f y3bfc w1e3 he1\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b fff1 fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">All figures in \u00a3 millions<span class=\"_ _78\"> </span><span class=\"ffed fc0\">2023<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></span></div></td><td class=\"c n xb4d y3bfc w36 hf9\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h1b y3a9b ffee fsb fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">2022<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td></tr><tr><td class=\"c n x22f y3a3f w1db h10a\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">At 1 January<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n xb4e y3a3f w46 he3\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 fff0 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">(79)<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n xb4f y3a3f w4d h10a\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">(44)<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td></tr><tr><td class=\"c n x22f y39fd w173 he6\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Exchange differences<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n xb50 y39fd w3c he3\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 fff0 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">3<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n xb51 y39fd w5d he6\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">(7)<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td></tr><tr><td class=\"c n x22f y39fe w1e4 he6\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Acquisitions<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n xb52 y39fe w60 he3\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 fff0 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">\u2013<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n x47f y39fe w4d he6\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">(42)<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td></tr><tr><td class=\"c n x22f y39ed w1e5 he6\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Fair value movements \u2013 income statement<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n xb53 y39ed w8a he3\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 fff0 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">(4)<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n xb54 y39ed w3c he6\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">4<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td></tr><tr><td class=\"c n x22f y39a8 w1dd he6\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">Repayments<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n xb55 y39a8 w47 he3\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 fff0 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">23<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n x49e y39a8 w47 he6\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">10<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td></tr><tr><td class=\"c n x22f y3996 w1e1 he3\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffed fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">At 31 December<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n xb56 y3996 w46 he3\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 fff0 fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">(57)<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td><td class=\"c n xb57 y3996 w4d he6\"><div class=\"t m0 x22e h6 y39a2 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0\">(79)<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span></div></td></tr></table>",

The other receivable relates to \u00a312m (2022: \u00a3nil) in respect of the contingent consideration receivable for the sale of the POLS business, which comprises a 27.5% share of positive adjusted EBITDA in each calendar year for six years and 27.5% of the proceeds received by the purchaser in relation to any future monetisation event. The valuation of the deferred consideration has been determined on the basis of a discounted cash flow model, and valued by a third-party specialist. The key inputs into the discounted cash flow model are the estimates of adjusted EBITDA for the next 6 years and the estimate of the valuation of the business thereafter. Reasonably possible changes in assumptions for the inputs into the model would not have a material impact on the carrying value of the contingent consideration, and therefore sensitivities have not been disclosed.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The deferred consideration payable in respect of prior year acquisitions is measured as the net present value of the expected cash flows.

The assets, which are not held for trading, relate to the Group\u2019s interests in new and innovative educational ventures across the world. These are strategic investments and where permitted, the Group made the election to classify such investments as FVOCI on initial recognition of the assets. None of the investments are individually significant to the financial statements and therefore sensitivities have not been provided.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>During the year, the Group disposed of investments that were classified as FVOCI for \u00a33m (2022: \u00a331m). In 2022, these disposals predominantly related to the Group\u2019s investment in Credly, where the Group acquired the remainder of the share capital and so the investment was treated as disposed as the company is now fully consolidated. The cumulative loss on disposal was \u00a32m (2022: \u00a323m gain).<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>",

The hedged risk is the risk of changes in the currency spot rate (eg GBP:USD) that will result in changes in the value of the Group's net investment in its overseas subsidiaries when translated into GBP. The hedged items are a portion of the Group's assets which are denominated in USD. The hedging instruments are debt and derivative financial instruments, including cross-<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>currency swaps, FX forwards and FX collars, which mitigates an exposure to the effect of a weakening USD on the hedged item against GBP. It is expected that the change in value of each of these items will mirror each other as there is a clear and direct economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the hedge relationship.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Offsetting arrangements with derivative counterparties<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>All of the Group\u2019s derivative financial instruments are subject to enforceable netting arrangements with individual counterparties, allowing net settlement in the event of default of either party.

The sensitivity of the portfolio to changes<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>in market rates is set out in note 19.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>In 2021, the Group transitioned GBP exposures from GBP LIBOR to SONIA. In 2022, for USD<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>exposures the<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>Group transitioned its RCF from USD LIBOR to SOFR. The Group\u2019s risk management<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>strategy has not changed as a result of IBOR Reform and it is considered to be immaterial to the<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>financial statements.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Fair value hedges<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The Group uses interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps as fair value hedges of the Group\u2019s<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>euro issued debt.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Interest rate exposure arises from movements in the fair value of the Group\u2019s euro debt attributable<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>to movements in euro interest rates. The hedged risk is the change in the euro bonds fair value<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>attributable to interest rate movements. The hedged items are the Group\u2019s euro bonds which are<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>issued at a fixed rate. The hedging instruments are fixed to floating euro interest rate swaps where<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>the Group receives fixed interest payments and pays three-month Euribor.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>As the critical terms of the interest rate swaps match the bonds, there is an expectation that the<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>value of<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>the hedging instrument and the value of the hedged item will move equally in the opposite<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>direction as<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>a<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>result of movements in the zero coupon Euribor curve. Potential sources of hedge<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>ineffectiveness would be material changes in the credit risk of swap counterparties or a reduction or<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>modification in the hedge item.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Hedge ineffectiveness would arise if the value of the hedged items fell below the value of the hedging instruments; however, this is unlikely as the value of the Group\u2019s assets denominated in USD is significantly greater than the proposed net investment programme.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The amounts related to items

The hedged risk is the risk of changes in the currency spot rate (eg GBP:USD) that will result in changes in the value of the Group's net investment in its overseas subsidiaries when translated into GBP. The hedged items are a portion of the Group's assets which are denominated in USD. The hedging instruments are debt and derivative financial instruments, including cross-<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>currency swaps, FX forwards and FX collars, which mitigates an exposure to the effect of a weakening USD on the hedged item against GBP. It is expected that the change in value of each of these items will mirror each other as there is a clear and direct economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the hedge relationship.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Offsetting arrangements with derivative counterparties<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>All of the Group\u2019s derivative financial instruments are subject to enforceable netting arrangements with individual counterparties, allowing net settlement in the event of default of either party.

values of each class of financial instrument to an isolated change in either interest rates or foreign exchange rates. Other net financial assets comprise trade receivables less trade payables. A significant proportion of the movements shown above would impact equity rather than the income statement due to the location and functional currency of the entities in which they arise and the availability of net investment hedging. Liquidity and refinancing risk management The Group regularly reviews the level of cash and debt facilities required to fund its activities. This involves preparing a prudent cash flow forecast for the next three to five years, determining the level of debt facilities required to fund the business, planning for shareholder returns and repayments of maturing debt, and identifying an appropriate amount of headroom to provide a reserve against unexpected outflows.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>At 31 December 2023, the Group had cash of \u00a30.3bn (2022: \u00a30.5bn) and no outstanding drawings (2022:<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>\u00a3nil) on the US dollar denominated revolving credit facility due 2026 of $1bn (2022: $1.19bn). The $1bn facility contains interest cover and leverage covenants which the Group has complied with for the year ended 31 December 2023. The maturity of the carrying values of the Group\u2019s borrowings and trade payables are set out in notes 18 and 24 respectively. At the end of 2023, the currency split of the Group\u2019s trade payables was US dollar \u00a3228m (2022: \u00a3234m), sterling \u00a364m (2022: \u00a371m) and other currencies \u00a325m (2022: \u00a343m). Trade payables are all due within one year (2022: all due within one year)<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The table below analyses the Group\u2019s bonds and derivative assets and liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Short<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>dated derivative instruments have not been included in this table. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest) and as such may differ from the amounts disclosed on the balance sheet.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Any cash flows based on a floating rate are calculated using interest rates as set at the date of the last <span class=\"_ _15\"></span>rate reset. Where this is not possible, floating rates are based on interest rates prevailing at 31 December in the relevant year.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Financial counterparty and credit risk management<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Financial counterparty and credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, favourable derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables. Counterparty credit limits, which take published credit rating and other factors into account, are set to cover the Group\u2019s total aggregate exposure to a single financial institution. The limits applicable to published credit rating bands are approved by the Chief Financial Officer within guidelines approved by the Board. Exposures and limits applicable to each financial institution are reviewed on a regular basis.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>All figures in \u00a3 millions<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span><table

However, risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate may also influence the credit risk. The credit quality of customers is assessed by taking into account financial position, past experience and other relevant factors. Individual credit limits are set for each customer based on internal ratings. The compliance with credit limits is regularly monitored by the Group. A default on a trade receivable is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within the stated payment terms. Trade receivables and contract assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The carrying amounts of financial assets, trade receivables and contract assets represent the maximum credit exposure.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Trade receivables and contract assets are subject to impairment using the expected credit loss model. The<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.

Product development assets relating to content are amortised over seven years or less, being an estimate of the expected operating lifecycle of the title, with a higher proportion of the amortisation taken in the earlier years. Product development assets relating to product platforms are amortised over ten years or less. Amortisation is included in the income statement in cost of goods sold. Product development assets are assessed for impairment triggers on an annual basis or when triggering events occur.

The full annual impairment test showed that there is adequate headroom across all product development assets and accordingly no further impairment charges were recognised in 2023 (2022: \u00a3nil; 2021: \u00a3nil).",

(see note 4) and dilapidations. Legal and other includes legal claims, contract disputes and potential contract losses with the provisions utilised as the cases are settled. Also included in legal and other are other restructuring provisions that are generally utilised within one year. The year on year decrease in provisions is mainly due to the utilisation of restructuring provisions in the year.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>34.

The estimation of future settlement amounts is based on a number of factors including the status of the unresolved matter, clarity of legislation, range of possible outcomes and the statute of limitations.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>There are contingent Group liabilities that arise in the normal course of business in respect of indemnities, warranties and guarantees in relation to former subsidiaries and in respect of guarantees in relation to subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. In addition, there are contingent liabilities of the Group in respect of unsettled or disputed tax liabilities, legal claims, contract disputes, royalties, copyright fees, permissions and other rights. None of these claims is expected to result in a material gain or loss to the Group.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>On 25 April 2019, the European Commission published the full decision that the United Kingdom controlled foreign company group financing partial exemption (\u2018FCPE\u2019) partially constitutes State Aid. This decision was appealed by the UK Government and other parties. On 8 June 2022 the EU General Court dismissed the appeal, however, this decision was further appealed by the UK Government and other parties, with the subsequent hearing having taken place on 10 January 2024 (outcome pending). The total exposure is calculated to be \u00a3105m (excluding interest) with a provision of \u00a363m held in relation to this issue. The remaining tax receivable is disclosed as a non-current asset on the balance sheet. The provision is calculated considering a range of possible outcomes and applying a probability to each, resulting in a weighted average outcome. The possible outcomes considered range from no liability through to the full exposure (\u00a3105m). This issue is specific to periods up to 2018 and is not a continuing exposure. The Group is under assessment from the tax authorities in Brazil challenging the deduction for tax purposes of goodwill amortisation for the years 2012 to 2020. Similar assessments may be raised for other years. Potential total exposure (including possible interest and penalties) could be up to BRL 1,294m (\u00a3209m) up to 31 December 2023, with additional potential exposure of BRL 24m (\u00a34m) in relation to deductions expected to be taken in future periods. Such assessments are common in Brazil. The Group believes that the likelihood that the tax authorities will ultimately prevail is low and that the Group\u2019s position is strong. At present, the Group believes no provision is required.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The Group is also under assessment from the UK tax authorities with the relevant years being 2019 to 2021. The maximum exposure is calculated to be \u00a343m, with a provision of \u00a321m currently held in relation to this assessment. The provision is calculated considering a range of possible outcomes and applying a probability to each, resulting in a weighted average outcome. The possible outcomes considered range from no liability through to the full exposure (\u00a343m). The point being assessed is specific to 2019 to 2021 and is not a continuing exposure. At the balance sheet date there were no commitments for capital expenditure contracted for but not yet incurred. Commitments in respect of leases are shown in note 35.",

The trustee of the UK Group plan is required to act in the best interest of the plan\u2019s beneficiaries. The most recent triennial actuarial valuation for funding purposes was completed as at 1 January 2021 and this valuation revealed a technical provision funding surplus of \u00a3160m. The UK Group plan expects to be able to provide benefits (in accordance with the plan rules) with a very low level of reliance on future funding from the Group. Assets of the final salary section of the UK Group plan are divided into two main elements: liability matching assets and return seeking assets. The UK Group plan\u2019s investment strategy for the final salary section allocates approximately 95% to matching assets and 5% to return-seeking assets. Liability matching assets are assets that produce cash flows that can be expected to match the cash flows for a proportion of the membership, and include a liability-driven investment mandate (LDI) for which a Qualifying Investor Alternative Investment Fund (QIAIF) was established, managed by a<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>subsidiary of Legal &amp; General Investment Management. The QIAIF invests in UK bonds, interest rate/inflation swaps and other derivative instruments in<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>order to reduce interest rate and inflation risks using accurate cash flow matching and risk control. Other liability matching assets include pensioner buy-in insurance policies, bonds and inflation-linked property and infrastructure. Following the purchase of buy-in policies with Legal &amp; General and Aviva in 2017 and 2019, 95% of the UK Group plan\u2019s pensioner liabilities were matched with buy-in policies. These transfer significant longevity risk to Aviva and Legal &amp; General, reducing the pension risks being underwritten by<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>the Group and providing additional security for members.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Return-seeking assets are assets invested with a longer-term horizon to generate the returns needed to provide the remaining expected cash flows for<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>the beneficiaries, and include diversified growth funds, property and alternative asset classes.<div class=\"t m0 h6 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs686\">Recent economic and geopolitical uncertainty has increased volatility in the valuation of certain </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs687\">assets, in<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>particular the LDI and insurance contracts. However, these movements are offset by </div><div class=\"t m0 h6 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs688\">equivalent movements in the defined benefit obligation.

Retirement benefit and other post-retirement obligations<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Background<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The Group operates a number of defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>throughout the world.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The largest plan is the Pearson Pension Plan (UK Group plan) in the UK, which is sectionalised to<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>provide both defined benefit and defined contribution pension benefits. The defined benefit section<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>was largely closed to new members from 1 November 2006. The defined contribution section,<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>opened in 2003, is open to new and existing employees. Finally, there is a separate section within the<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>UK Group plan set up for auto-enrolment.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The defined benefit section of the UK Group plan is a final salary pension plan which provides<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>benefits to members in the form of a guaranteed level of pension payable for life. The level of<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>benefits depends on the length of service and final pensionable pay.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The defined contribution section of the UK Group plan operates a Reference Scheme Test (RST)<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>pension underpin for its members. Where a member\u2019s fund value is insufficient to purchase the RST<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>pension upon retirement, the UK Group plan is liable for the shortfall to cover the member\u2019s RST<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>pension. In addition, in recent years, the scheme rules were amended to enable members who have<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>sufficient funds to purchase an RST pension the ability to convert their fund value into a pension in<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>the UK Group plan as an alternative to purchasing an annuity with an insurer. The Group recognises<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>any assets and liabilities relating to these features of the defined contribution section as part of<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>the overall UK Group plan obligation. The Group also recognises the assets and liabilities for all<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>members of the defined contribution section of the UK Group plan, accounting for the whole defined<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>contribution section as a defined benefit scheme under IAS 19 \u2018Employee Benefits\u2019 as there is a risk<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>the underpin will require the Group to pay further contributions to the scheme.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The UK Group plan is funded with benefit payments from trustee-administered funds.

The inflation rate for the UK Group plan of 3.0% (2022: 3.4%) reflects the RPI rate.

Business combinations<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>On 22 March 2023, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Personnel Decisions Research Institutes, LLC (PDRI) for cash consideration of \u00a3152m ($187m). PDRI is a provider of workforce assessment services and has significant expertise in providing recruitment assessment solutions to the US federal government. It forms part of the Assessment &amp; Qualifications division. There is no contingent or deferred consideration. Net assets acquired of \u00a391m were recognised on the Group\u2019s balance sheet including \u00a3117m of acquired intangible assets.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>This transaction has resulted in the recognition of \u00a361m of goodwill, which represents the expected growth of the business, the workforce and know-how acquired and the anticipated synergies, none of which can be recognised as separate intangible assets. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets of \u00a3117m have been recognised in respect of PDRI, the majority of which relates to SAAS customer contracts and technology, which will be amortised over periods of up to 15 years. The valuations of these assets were carried out with the support of a third-party specialist, and were based on discounted cash flow models. The key assumptions that feed into the valuations are the cash flow forecasts, revenue projections from existing customers, forecasted profit margins and discount rates.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>On 28 January 2022, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital in Credly Inc (Credly), having previously held a 19.9% interest in the company. Credly is a digital credential service provider whose platform enables customers to design, create, issue and manage digital credentials. It forms part of the Workforce Skills division. Total consideration was \u00a3149m comprising upfront cash consideration of \u00a3107m, Pearson\u2019s existing interest valued at \u00a331m and \u00a311m of deferred consideration. The deferred consideration is payable two years from the acquisition date. On 28 April 2022, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of ATI STUDIOS A.P.P.S S.R.L (Mondly), a global online learning platform offering customers learning in English and 40 other languages via its app, website, virtual reality and augmented reality products. It forms part of the English Language Learning division. Total consideration was \u00a3135m comprising upfront cash consideration of \u00a3105m, and deferred consideration of \u00a330m. The deferred consideration is payable over two years from the acquisition date, with no performance conditions attached. In addition, a further $29.6m (c.\u00a324m) of cash and $10m (c.\u00a38m) in shares will be paid over four years from the acquisition date, dependent on continuing employment, and<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>therefore these additional amounts are being expensed over the period and are not treated as<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>consideration. In 2022, these transactions resulted in the recognition of \u00a3202m of goodwill, which represented the expected growth through new products and customers, the workforce and know-how acquired and the anticipated synergies, none of which can be recognised as separate intangible assets. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Intangible assets of \u00a399m were recognised in respect of Credly and Mondly. The valuations of these assets were carried out with the support of third-party specialists, and were based on discounted cash flow models. The key assumptions that feed into the valuations were the cash flow forecasts, revenue projections from existing customers, forecasted profit margins and discount rates. For Credly, \u00a349m of intangible assets were recognised, mainly relating to the existing customer relationships that are being amortised over 20 years, and technology which are being amortised over five years. For Mondly, \u00a350m of intangible assets were recognised, the majority of which relates to acquired technology, and are being amortised over periods up to seven years.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>In 2022, the Group also made three smaller acquisitions in the period for total consideration of<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>\u00a311m. In September 2021, Pearson completed the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Faethm Holdings Pty Limited (Faethm), having already held 9% of the share capital previously. Faethm uses artificial intelligence and analytics services to help governments, companies and workers understand the dynamic forces shaping the labour market. Faethm forms part of the Workforce Skills division. The total consideration for the transaction was \u00a365m, which included \u00a310m of contingent consideration, which has since been settled in 2022.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>In addition, in 2021, the Group made two additional acquisitions of subsidiaries for total consideration of \u00a311m. In both cases, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of the respective entities. Opinion Interactive LLC (also known as Spotlight Education) was acquired in February 2021. MZ Development Inc. was acquired in July 2021. Both form part of the Assessment &amp; Qualifications division.

Disposals and business closures<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>On 30 June 2023, the Group disposed of its interests in its POLS businesses in the US, UK, Australia and<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>India. The businesses disposed excludes Pearson\u2019s contract with ASU. The consideration to be received<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>is deferred and comprises a 27.5% share of positive adjusted EBITDA in each calendar year for<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>six<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>years and<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>27.5% of the proceeds received by the purchaser in relation to any future monetisation event. The<span class=\"_ gs2d\"> </span>consideration has been valued at \u00a312m and a pre-tax gain on disposal of \u00a313m has been recognised. In addition, a gain of \u00a39m has been recognised which arises from the release of a provision related to a historical disposal, \u00a319m of losses arose from the disposals of Pearson College and the international courseware local publishing business in India and \u00a312m of costs related to previous disposals were recognised.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Whether the associated results and cash flows of the POLS businesses should be classified and presented as discontinued operations is a significant judgement. The Group's judgement is that the results and cash flows of the related businesses should not be classified and presented as discontinued operations on the basis that the businesses disposed do not constitute a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, and the cash flows related to one of the large contracts within the business are being retained. KJ<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>Key judgements <span class=\"_ _16\"></span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _17\"> </span><span class=\"ffee\">The results and cash flows of businesses disposed do not meet the criteria to be classified </span>and presented as discontinued operations.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The POLS business is within the Virtual Learning segment and represents \u00a393m of sales for the year ended 31 December 2023 out of the total sales in the Virtual Learning segment of \u00a3616m. If the Group had concluded that this business represented discontinued operations, its results and the related gain on disposal would not have been included within each of the continuing operations income statement lines. Profit for the period from continuing operations would have been \u00a310m lower and this amount would have been separately presented as profit for the period.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>In 2022, the Group disposed of its interests in the Canadian educational publisher (ERPI), Pearson Italia S.p.A, Stark Verlag GmbH, Austin Education (Hong Kong) Limited, Pearson South Africa (Pty) Ltd and various other South African companies. Total cash consideration received was \u00a3287m resulting in a pre-tax gain on disposal of \u00a342m. All entities disposed of were previously in the Strategic Review segment. \u00a35m of losses arose from other immaterial disposals and costs related to the wind-down of certain businesses. In February 2021, the Group completed the sale of its interests in the Pearson Institute of Higher Education (PIHE) in South Africa resulting in a pre-tax loss of \u00a35m. In October 2021, the sale of the Group\u2019s interests in K12 Sistemas in Brazil was also completed for consideration of \u00a3108m, resulting in a gain on sale of \u00a384m. There were no other business disposals in 2021 and additional losses of \u00a314m relate to other disposal costs including costs related to the wind-down of certain businesses under strategic review.<div class=\"t m0 h6 ffee fs2 fc1 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs6f9\">Deferred proceeds relating to the K12 sale were received in 2022 and 2021 (see note 14).

The estimation of future settlement amounts is based on a number of factors including the status of the unresolved matter, clarity of legislation, range of possible outcomes and the statute of limitations.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>There are contingent Group liabilities that arise in the normal course of business in respect of indemnities, warranties and guarantees in relation to former subsidiaries and in respect of guarantees in relation to subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. In addition, there are contingent liabilities of the Group in respect of unsettled or disputed tax liabilities, legal claims, contract disputes, royalties, copyright fees, permissions and other rights. None of these claims is expected to result in a material gain or loss to the Group.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>On 25 April 2019, the European Commission published the full decision that the United Kingdom controlled foreign company group financing partial exemption (\u2018FCPE\u2019) partially constitutes State Aid. This decision was appealed by the UK Government and other parties. On 8 June 2022 the EU General Court dismissed the appeal, however, this decision was further appealed by the UK Government and other parties, with the subsequent hearing having taken place on 10 January 2024 (outcome pending). The total exposure is calculated to be \u00a3105m (excluding interest) with a provision of \u00a363m held in relation to this issue. The remaining tax receivable is disclosed as a non-current asset on the balance sheet. The provision is calculated considering a range of possible outcomes and applying a probability to each, resulting in a weighted average outcome. The possible outcomes considered range from no liability through to the full exposure (\u00a3105m). This issue is specific to periods up to 2018 and is not a continuing exposure. The Group is under assessment from the tax authorities in Brazil challenging the deduction for tax purposes of goodwill amortisation for the years 2012 to 2020. Similar assessments may be raised for other years. Potential total exposure (including possible interest and penalties) could be up to BRL 1,294m (\u00a3209m) up to 31 December 2023, with additional potential exposure of BRL 24m (\u00a34m) in relation to deductions expected to be taken in future periods. Such assessments are common in Brazil. The Group believes that the likelihood that the tax authorities will ultimately prevail is low and that the Group\u2019s position is strong. At present, the Group believes no provision is required.<span class=\"_ _36a\"> </span>The Group is also under assessment from the UK tax authorities with the relevant years being 2019 to 2021. The maximum exposure is calculated to be \u00a343m, with a provision of \u00a321m currently held in relation to this assessment. The provision is calculated considering a range of possible outcomes and applying a probability to each, resulting in a weighted average outcome. The possible outcomes considered range from no liability through to the full exposure (\u00a343m). The point being assessed is specific to 2019 to 2021 and is not a continuing exposure. At the balance sheet date there were no commitments for capital expenditure contracted for but not yet incurred. Commitments in respect of leases are shown in note 35.",
