1. Accounting policies
Accounting policies applicable throughout the financial statements are shown below. Accounting policies that are specific to a
component of the financial statements have been incorporated in the relevant note.
(a) Basis of preparation
Grainger plc is a company incorporated and domiciled in the UK. It is a public limited liability company listed on the London
Stock Exchange. The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries, together referred to as
the \u2018Group\u2019, and equity account the Group\u2019s interest in joint ventures and associates. The parent company financial statements
present information about the Company and not the Group.
The Group financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following assets and
liabilities, and corresponding income statement accounts, which are stated at their fair value: investment property; derivative
financial instruments; and financial interest in property assets.
The Group financial statements have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with UK-adopted international
accounting standards (IFRS) and applicable law. The Company has elected to prepare its parent company financial statements in
accordance with FRS 101; these are presented on pages 165 to 170.
The Group and Company financial statements are presented in millions of Pounds Sterling (\u00a3m) because that is the currency of
the principal economic environment in which the Group operates.
In preparing the financial statements, management has considered the potential impacts, risks and opportunities of climate
change, taking into account the relevant disclosures in the Strategic report, including those made in accordance with TCFD, and
considered the impact of the issues identified to ensure they are appropriately reflected into the financial statements. The impact
of climate change and of climate change related changes in markets and regulation are considered in the valuation of investment
properties. These issues are also considered when projecting future cash flows of the Group and in sensitivity analysis.
Management feel that climate change related issues are appropriately considered in these financial statements.
Going concern
The Directors are required to make an assessment of the Group\u2019s ability to continue to trade as a going concern for the
foreseeable future. Given the macro-economic conditions in which the Group is operating, the Directors have placed a particular
focus on the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended
30 September 2024.
The financial position of the Group, including details of its financing and capital structure, is set out in the financial review on
pages 31 to 36. In making the going concern assessment, the Directors have considered the Group\u2019s principal risks (see pages
56 to 63) and their impact on financial performance. The Directors have assessed the future funding commitments of the
Group and compared these to the level of committed loan facilities and cash resources over the medium term. In making this
assessment, consideration has bezen given to compliance with borrowing covenants along with the uncertainty inherent in
future financial forecasts and, where applicable, severe sensitivities have been applied to the key factors affecting financial
performance for the Group.
The going concern assessment is based on forecasts to the end of March 2026, which exceeds the required period of assessment
of at least 12 months in order to be aligned to the Group\u2019s interim reporting date, and uses the same forecasts considered by the
Group for the purposes of the Viability Statement. The assessment considers a severe but plausible downside scenario, reflecting
the following key assumptions:
\u2022 Reducing PRS occupancy to 87.5% by 30 September 2026
\u2022 Rental growth reduced by 100bps to 2.5% in FY25
\u2022 Reducing property valuations by 10% by 30 September 2025, driven by rents yield expansion or house price deflation
\u2022 Operating and development cost inflation of 10% p.a.
\u2022 An increase in SONIA rate of 2% from 1 October 2024
The Group\u2019s forecasts incorporate the likely impact of climate change and sustainability requirements including costs to deliver
our climate related targets. This includes EPC upgrades across the portfolio and investing in energy efficient solutions for central
heating systems.
No new financing is assumed in the assessment period, but existing facilities are assumed to remain available. Even in this severe
downside scenario, the Group has sufficient cash reserves, with the loan-to-value covenant remaining no higher than 48%
(facility maximum covenant ranges between 70% \u2013 75%) and interest cover no lower than 3.62x (facility minimum covenant
ranges between 1.35x \u2013 1.75x) for the period to March 2026 to align with reporting periods, which covers the required period of at
least 12 months from the date of authorisation of these financial statements.
Based on these considerations, together with available market information and the Directors\u2019 experience of the Group\u2019s property
portfolio and markets, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts for the year ended
30 September 2024.
(b) Basis of consolidation
i) Subsidiaries \u2013 Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group
is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the
date control ceases.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are
eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to
the extent of the Group\u2019s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only
to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to
ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
ii) Joint ventures and associates \u2013 Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established
by contractual agreement. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally
accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Where the Group owns less than 50% of the voting
rights but acts as property and/or asset manager an assessment is made as to whether or not the Group has de facto control
over an investee. This includes a review of the Group\u2019s rights relative to those of another investor or investors and the ability the
Group has to direct the investees\u2019 relevant activities (further details are provided in Note 18 and Note 19).
Investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised
at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the Group\u2019s share of the profit or loss after the date of
acquisition. The joint venture and associate results for the 12 months to 30 September 2024 and the financial position as at that
date have been equity accounted in these financial statements.
The Group\u2019s share of its joint ventures\u2019 and associates\u2019 post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement,
and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. Where the Group\u2019s interest
has been reduced to \u00a3nil, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognised, only to the extent that the Group has
incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture or associate. The cumulative post-
acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures and associates are eliminated to the extent of the
Group\u2019s interest in joint ventures and associates. The accounting policies of joint ventures and associates have been changed
where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
iii) Business combinations \u2013 At the time of acquisition, the Group considers whether each acquisition represents the acquisition of
a business or the acquisition of an asset. The Group accounts for an acquisition as a business combination where an integrated set
of activities are acquired in addition to the property. Consideration is also given to the concentration test permitted under IFRS 3
Business Combinations.
When the acquisition of a subsidiary does not represent a business, it is accounted for as an acquisition of assets and liabilities.
The cost of acquisition is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their fair values, and no goodwill or deferred tax
is recognised.
A business combination may also require the recognition of identifiable intangible assets by the Group. An intangible asset is
deemed to be identifiable if it is able to be separated or divided from the other assets acquired in the business combination and
sold, licensed or exchanged for something else of value, even if the intention to do so is not present on behalf of the Group.
Where an intangible asset is not individually separable, it may still meet the separability criterion if it is separable in combination
with a related contract, identifiable asset or liability.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured as the fair value
of the assets given and equity instruments issued. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed
in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of
the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group\u2019s share of the net identifiable assets, including intangible assets, of the
acquired entity at the date of acquisition. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary
acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement. Costs attributable to an acquisition of a business are
expensed in the consolidated income statement under the heading \u2018Other expenses\u2019.
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included within this caption in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Goodwill on acquisition of joint ventures and associates is included in investments in joint ventures and associates.
Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the purpose of impairment testing and is tested annually for impairment and
carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the
disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
(c) Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations
The following new standards and amendments to standards were issued and adopted in the year and have no material impact
on the financial statements:
\u2022 Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 \u2013 Disclosure of accounting policies;
\u2022 Amendments to IAS 8 \u2013 Definition of Accounting Estimates;
\u2022 Amendments to IAS 12 \u2013 Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction;
\u2022 Amendments to IAS 12 \u2013 International tax reform \u2013 Pillar Two model rules;
\u2022 IFRS 17 \u2013 Insurance Contracts.
The following new standards and amendments to standards have been issued but are not yet effective for the Group and have
not been early adopted:
\u2022 Amendments to IAS 1 \u2013 Classification of liabilities as current or non-current;
\u2022 Amendments to IAS 1 \u2013 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants;
\u2022 Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 \u2013 Disclosures: Supplier finance arrangements;

impact on the Group\u2019s financial statements.
(a) Accounting policy
IFRS 8, Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified based upon the Group\u2019s internal reporting to the Chief
Operating Decision Maker (\u2018CODM\u2019) so that the CODM can make decisions about resources to be allocated to segments and
assess their performance. The Group\u2019s CODM are the Executive Directors.
The two significant segments for the Group are PRS and Reversionary. The PRS segment includes stabilised PRS assets as well
as PRS under construction due to direct development and forward funding arrangements, both for wholly-owned assets and the
Group\u2019s interest in joint ventures and associates as relevant. The Reversionary segment includes regulated tenancies, as well as
CHARM. The Other segment includes legacy strategic land and development arrangements, along with administrative expenses.
The key operating performance measure of profit or loss used by the CODM is adjusted earnings before tax, valuation and
other adjustments.
The principal net asset value (\u2018NAV\u2019) measure reviewed by the CODM is EPRA NTA which is considered to become the most relevant,
and therefore the primary NAV measure for the Group. EPRA NTA reflects the tax that will crystallise in relation to the trading
portfolio, whilst excluding the volatility of mark to market movements on fixed rate debt and derivatives which are unlikely to be
realised. Other NAV measures include EPRA NRV and EPRA NDV which we report alongside EPRA NTA. A full description and
reconciliation of these measures is included in the EPRA performance measures section on pages 171 to 174 of this report.
Accounting policy
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is stated net of sales taxes and value added
taxes. Gross proceeds from disposal of trading property and fees and other income are recognised in accordance with IFRS 15.
Gross rental income is recognised in accordance with IFRS 16.
Accounting policy
Gross rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term on an accruals basis. Directly attributable property
management, repair and maintenance costs are deducted from gross rental income to determine net rental income.
Accounting policy
Property is regarded as sold when performance obligations have been met and control has been transferred to the buyer. This is
generally deemed to be on legal completion as at this point the buyer is able to determine the use of the property and has rights
to any cash inflows or outflows in respect of the property. Profits or losses are calculated by reference to the carrying value of
the property sold. For a development property, this is assessed through the use of a gross margin for the site as a whole or such
other basis that provides an appropriate allocation of costs.
Contract revenue and expenses are recognised over time in the consolidated income statement, with performance obligations
satisfied continually across the period in which the asset is created or enhanced. Control of the asset is transferred to the
customer across the construction period rather than upon completion of the asset in its entirety as, per the contract in place,
this is when the customer gains their residual interest. The input method used to measure progress is the value of work
completed, denoted by the costs incurred to date, and revenue is subsequently recognised at the margin stipulated in the
contract. This is also when the Group becomes entitled to the consideration arising from the contract. Revenues are recognised
as contract assets in trade and other receivables (Note 23) and are recovered on completion of the development.
Accounting policy
Investment property is regarded as sold when the recipient obtains control of the property, which is generally deemed to be on
legal completion. Profits or losses are calculated by reference to the carrying value of the property sold.
Accounting policy
The taxation charge for the year represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The charge is
recognised in the income statement and statement of comprehensive income according to the accounting treatment of the
related transaction.
Current tax payable or receivable is based on the taxable income for the period and any adjustment in respect of prior periods
and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Tax payable upon the realisation of revaluation gains recognised in prior periods is recorded as a current tax charge with a
release of the associated deferred tax. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the
reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax
liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will give rise
to a future tax liability against which the deferred tax assets can be recovered.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the
timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will
not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax
authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
Accounting policy
Dividends are recognised through equity when approved by the Company\u2019s Shareholders or on payment, whichever is earlier.
Accounting policy
Basic
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, excluding ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held both in
Trust and as treasury shares to meet its obligations under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (\u2018LTIP\u2019) and Deferred Bonus Plan (\u2018DBP\u2019)
on which the dividends are being waived.
Diluted
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares in issue by the dilutive effect of
ordinary shares that the Company may potentially issue relating to its share option schemes and contingent share awards under
the LTIP and DBP, based upon the number of shares that would be issued if 30 September 2024 was the end of the contingency
period. Where the effect of the above adjustments is antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings
per share.
Accounting policy
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation, or both, and that is not occupied by the companies
in the consolidated Group, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including
related transaction costs.
After initial recognition, investment property is carried at fair value. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if
necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specified asset. If this information is not available, the
Group uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices on less active markets or discounted cash flow projections.
Investment property falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as defined by IFRS 13. Further details are given in Note 27.
Subsequent expenditure is included in the carrying amount of the property when it is probable that the future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and
maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the Group\u2019s investment properties are included in the consolidated
income statement of the period in which they arise.
When the Group begins to redevelop an existing trading property for continued future use as an investment property, the
property is transferred to investment property and held as a non-current asset. The property is remeasured to fair value as at
the date of the transfer with any gain or loss being taken to the income statement.
Accounting policy (Investment property - held for sale)
Where specific investment properties are expected to sell within the next 12 months, their fair value is shown under assets
classified as held for sale within current assets.
Accounting policy
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less residual value and depreciation and comprise office leases, fixtures, fittings
and equipment. Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life ranging
from 3\u20135 years, with office leases depreciated over the life of the lease.
Accounting policy
The CHARM portfolio is a financial interest in equity mortgages held by the Church of England Pensions Board as mortgagee.
It is accounted for under IFRS 9 and is measured at fair value through profit and loss.
It is initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, the net change in
value recorded is as follows: i) cash received from the instrument in the year is deducted from the carrying value of the assets;
and ii) the carrying value of the assets is revised to the net present value of the updated projected cash flows arising from the
instrument using a market discount rate at the reporting date. The change in value arising from ii) above is recorded through the
consolidated income statement and is shown on the line \u2018Income from financial interest in property assets\u2019.
Accounting policy
Intangible assets comprise computer software and goodwill.
Costs incurred in relation to computer software that the Group has exclusive right of use to are capitalised and amortised on
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets from the date they are available for use. The effective life is
assessed in accordance with the period that the Group expects benefits from its investment in technology to be consumed.
Amortisation is charged to the consolidated income statement.
Costs incurred in relation to computer software that the Group does not have exclusive right of use to, including its Software
as a Service (\u2018SaaS\u2019) arrangements, are not accounted for as intangible assets. Configuration and customisation costs incurred
prior to receiving services are prepaid and expensed to the Consolidated income statement once the service is in use. All other
expenditure in relation to non-exclusive SaaS is expensed to the Consolidated income statement as incurred.
Goodwill is tested for impairment based on a value in use calculation at each reporting date.
Accounting policy
Tenanted residential properties held-for-sale in the normal course of business within the PRS and Reversionary segments
are shown in the financial statements as a current asset at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes legal and
surveying charges and introducer fees incurred during acquisition together with improvement costs.
Legacy land and development property held within the Other segment of the business are shown in the financial statements at
the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost represents the acquisition price including legal and other professional costs associated with the acquisition together with
subsequent development costs net of amounts transferred to costs of sale.
Net realisable value is the expected sales proceeds that the Group expects on sale of a property or current market value net of
associated selling costs.
Accounting policy
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment in trade receivables is established when there is an expectation
of cash shortfalls over the expected life of the amounts due. The movement in the provision is recognised in the consolidated
income statement.
Accounting policy
Provisions are recognised when: i) the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event; ii) it is probable that an outflow
of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and iii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Accounting policy
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method. Refer to Note 35 for accounting policy in relation to lease liabilities.
Accounting policy
Borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of consideration received, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are
subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value
is recognised in the consolidated income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the consolidated statement of financial position date.
Accounting policy
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less. Demand deposits that cannot be accessed and have restrictions on use arising
from contracts with third parties are reflected in trade and other receivables.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses derivative instruments to help manage its interest rate risk. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group does
not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes. Derivatives are classified as current assets and current liabilities.
The derivatives are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequently, the gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised
immediately in the consolidated income statement, unless the derivatives qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, and have been
designated as such, in which case any gain or loss is taken to equity in a cash flow hedge reserve via other comprehensive income.
In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the Group is required to document in advance the relationship between the item being
hedged and the hedging instrument. The Group is also required to demonstrate that the hedge will be highly effective on an
ongoing basis. This effectiveness testing is re-performed at each period end to ensure that the hedge remains highly effective.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any
cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time is immediately transferred to the consolidated income statement.
Fair value estimation
The fair values of interest rate derivatives are based on a discounted cash flow model using market information.
Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
Derecognition is the point at which the Group removes an asset or liability from its consolidated statement of financial position.
The Group\u2019s policy is to derecognise financial assets only when the contractual right to the cash flows from the financial asset
expires. The Group also derecognises financial assets that it transfers to another party provided that the transfer of the asset
also transfers the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset. When the transfer does not result in the Group transferring
the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset but it does result in the Group assuming a corresponding obligation to pay
cash flows to another recipient, the financial asset is derecognised.
The Group derecognises financial liabilities only when its obligation is discharged, is cancelled or expires.
Financial assets classified as fair value through profit and loss (previously available-for-sale) are the financial interest in
property assets.
Derivative financial instruments not in hedge accounting relationships are classified as fair value through profit and loss.
Accounting policy
i) Defined contribution pension scheme \u2013 Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are
recognised as an expense in the income statement in the period to which they relate.
ii) Defined benefit pension scheme \u2013 The Group currently contributes to a defined benefit pension scheme that was closed to
new members and future accrual of benefits in 2003. The full deficit in the scheme was recognised in the statement of financial
position as at 1 October 2004.
An actuarial valuation of the scheme is carried out every three years. The cost of providing benefits is determined using the
Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each consolidated statement of financial position
date by a qualified actuary, for the purpose of determining the amounts to be reflected in the Group\u2019s financial statements under
IAS 19.
The defined benefit obligation is valued by projecting the best estimate of future benefit outgoings (allowing for future salary
increases for active members, revaluation to retirement for deferred members and annual pension increases for all members)
and then discounting to the consolidated statement of financial position date.
The pension scheme assets comprise investments in bonds and cash, managed by Rathbones Investment Management Limited
and insurance policies managed by Friends Life. These assets are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position.
The amount shown in the statement of financial position is the net of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the
fair value of the scheme assets. When there is a surplus the Group considers the requirements of IFRIC 14 and whether there
is economic benefit available as a refund of this surplus, or through a reduction in future contributions. When an unconditional
right to future economic benefit exists, there is no restriction on the amount of surplus recognised.
There are no current or past service costs as the scheme is closed to new members and future accrual. The net interest amount,
calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability, is reflected in the income statement each year.
Actuarial gains and losses net of deferred income tax are reflected in other comprehensive income each year.
Accounting policy
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Acquisition of and investment in own shares
The Group acquires its own shares to enable it to meet its obligations under the various share schemes in operation. No gain or
loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company\u2019s own shares. The acquisition cost of
the shares is debited to an investment in own shares reserve within retained earnings.
Where the Group buys back its own shares as treasury shares it adopts the accounting as described above. Where it
subsequently cancels them, issued share capital is reduced by the nominal value of the shares cancelled and this same amount is
transferred to the capital redemption reserve.
Accounting policy
The Group operates a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans comprising awards under a Long-Term
Incentive Plan (\u2018LTIP\u2019), a Deferred Bonus Plan (\u2018DBP\u2019), a Share Incentive Plan (\u2018SIP\u2019) and a Save As You Earn (\u2018SAYE\u2019) scheme.
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of shares and options is recognised as an employee
expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares and
options granted.
For market-based conditions, the probability of vesting is taken into account in the fair value calculation and no revision is made
to the number of shares or options expected to vest. For non-market conditions, each year the Group revises its estimate of the
number of options or shares that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the
consolidated income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
Awards that are subject to a market-based performance condition are valued at fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation
model. Awards not subject to a market-based performance condition are valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes
valuation model.
When options are exercised the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital
(nominal value) and share premium.
Accounting policy
i) Group as lessor \u2013 Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The net
present value of ground rents receivable is, in the opinion of the Directors, immaterial. Accordingly, ground rents receivable
are taken to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Properties leased out to
tenants are included in the consolidated statement of financial position as either investment property or as trading property
under inventories.
ii) Group as lessee \u2013 The Group occupies a number of its offices as a lessee. The net present value of the lease liabilities is
recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position within trade and other payables. The leased office space is included
in the consolidated statement of financial position as a right-of-use asset in property, plant and equipment and depreciated over
the life of the lease.

It is a public limited liability company listed on the London Stock Exchange. The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries, together referred to as the \u2018Group\u2019, and equity account the Group\u2019s interest in joint ventures and associates. The parent company financial statements present information about the Company and not the Group. The Group financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following assets and liabilities, and corresponding income statement accounts, which are stated at their fair value: investment property; derivative financial instruments; and financial interest in property assets. The Group financial statements have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards (IFRS) and applicable law. The Company has elected to prepare its parent company financial statements in accordance with FRS 101; these are presented on pages 165 to 170. The Group and Company financial statements are presented in millions of Pounds Sterling (\u00a3m) because that is the currency of the principal economic environment in which the Group operates. In preparing the financial statements, management has considered the potential impacts, risks and opportunities of climate change, taking into account the relevant disclosures in the Strategic report, including those made in accordance with TCFD, and considered the impact of the issues identified to ensure they are appropriately reflected into the financial statements. The impact of climate change and of climate change related changes in markets and regulation are considered in the valuation of investment properties. These issues are also considered when projecting future cash flows of the Group and in sensitivity analysis. Management feel that climate change related issues are appropriately considered in these financial statements. Going concern The Directors are required to make an assessment of the Group\u2019s ability to continue to trade as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Given the macro-economic conditions in which the Group is operating, the Directors have placed a particular focus on the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024. The financial position of the Group, including details of its financing and capital structure, is set out in the financial review on pages 31 to 36. In making the going concern assessment, the Directors have considered the Group\u2019s principal risks (see pages 56 to 63) and their impact on financial performance. The Directors have assessed the future funding commitments of the Group and compared these to the level of committed loan facilities and cash resources over the medium term. In making this assessment, consideration has bezen given to compliance with borrowing covenants along with the uncertainty inherent in future financial forecasts and, where applicable, severe sensitivities have been applied to the key factors affecting financial performance for the Group. The going concern assessment is based on forecasts to the end of March 2026, which exceeds the required period of assessment of at least 12 months in order to be aligned to the Group\u2019s interim reporting date, and uses the same forecasts considered by the Group for the purposes of the Viability Statement. The assessment considers a severe but plausible downside scenario, reflecting the following key assumptions: \u2022 Reducing PRS occupancy to 87.5% by 30 September 2026 \u2022 Rental growth reduced by 100bps to 2.5% in FY25 \u2022 Reducing property valuations by 10% by 30 September 2025, driven by rents yield expansion or house price deflation \u2022 Operating and development cost inflation of 10% p.a. \u2022 An increase in SONIA rate of 2% from 1 October 2024 The Group\u2019s forecasts incorporate the likely impact of climate change and sustainability requirements including costs to deliver our climate related targets. This includes EPC upgrades across the portfolio and investing in energy efficient solutions for central heating systems. No new financing is assumed in the assessment period, but existing facilities are assumed to remain available. Even in this severe downside scenario, the Group has sufficient cash reserves, with the loan-to-value covenant remaining no higher than 48% (facility maximum covenant ranges between 70% \u2013 75%) and interest cover no lower than 3.62x (facility minimum covenant ranges between 1.35x \u2013 1.75x) for the period to March 2026 to align with reporting periods, which covers the required period of at least 12 months from the date of authorisation of these financial statements. Based on these considerations, together with available market information and the Directors\u2019 experience of the Group\u2019s property portfolio and markets, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts for the year ended 30 September 2024.

The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date control ceases.

Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. ii) Joint ventures and associates \u2013 Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Where the Group owns less than 50% of the voting rights but acts as property and/or asset manager an assessment is made as to whether or not the Group has de facto control over an investee. This includes a review of the Group\u2019s rights relative to those of another investor or investors and the ability the Group has to direct the investees\u2019 relevant activities (further details are provided in Note 18 and Note 19). Investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the Group\u2019s share of the profit or loss after the date of acquisition. The joint venture and associate results for the 12 months to 30 September 2024 and the financial position as at that date have been equity accounted in these financial statements. The Group\u2019s share of its joint ventures\u2019 and associates\u2019 post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. Where the Group\u2019s interest has been reduced to \u00a3nil, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognised, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture or associate. The cumulative post- acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures and associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group\u2019s interest in joint ventures and associates. The accounting policies of joint ventures and associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. iii) Business combinations \u2013 At the time of acquisition, the Group considers whether each acquisition represents the acquisition of a business or the acquisition of an asset. The Group accounts for an acquisition as a business combination where an integrated set of activities are acquired in addition to the property. Consideration is also given to the concentration test permitted under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. When the acquisition of a subsidiary does not represent a business, it is accounted for as an acquisition of assets and liabilities. The cost of acquisition is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their fair values, and no goodwill or deferred tax is recognised. A business combination may also require the recognition of identifiable intangible assets by the Group. An intangible asset is deemed to be identifiable if it is able to be separated or divided from the other assets acquired in the business combination and sold, licensed or exchanged for something else of value, even if the intention to do so is not present on behalf of the Group. Where an intangible asset is not individually separable, it may still meet the separability criterion if it is separable in combination with a related contract, identifiable asset or liability. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given and equity instruments issued. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group\u2019s share of the net identifiable assets, including intangible assets, of the acquired entity at the date of acquisition. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement. Costs attributable to an acquisition of a business are expensed in the consolidated income statement under the heading \u2018Other expenses\u2019. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included within this caption in the consolidated statement of financial position. Goodwill on acquisition of joint ventures and associates is included in investments in joint ventures and associates. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the purpose of impairment testing and is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Group\u2019s significant accounting policies are stated in the relevant notes to the Group financial statements. The preparation of
financial statements requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies. It also requires the
use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and
assumptions, including those associated with climate change, are reviewed on an ongoing basis with revisions recognised in the
period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or
complexity are set out below.
Estimates
1) Valuation of property assets
Residential trading property is carried in the statement of financial position at the lower of cost and net realisable value and
investment property is carried at fair value. The Group does, however, in its principal non-GAAP net asset value measures, EPRA
NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV, include trading property at market value. The adjustment in the value of trading property is the
difference between the statutory book value and its market value as set out in Note 4. For investment property, market value is the
same as fair value. In respect of trading properties, market valuation is the key assumption in determining the net realisable value of
those properties.
The results and the basis of each valuation and their impact on both the statutory financial statements and market value for the
Group\u2019s non-GAAP net asset value measures are set out below. This includes details of key estimates and assumptions, along with
which an independent professional adviser has been utilised to determine valuations for each asset category. In all cases, forming
these valuations inherently includes elements of judgement and subjectivity with regard to the selection of unobservable inputs.
The methodology for the year end valuation process for capitalised yield-based valuations is consistent with the prior year. This is
considered to be the most appropriate method for valuing assets that are likely to be held as long-term investments and represents
77% of our property assets relating primarily to PRS blocks, including new build PRS assets. The remaining 23% of property assets
are valued based on current house prices, reflecting the prevailing market conditions as at the reporting date.
Where appropriate, sustainability and environmental matters are an integral part of the valuation approach. \u2018Sustainability\u2019 is taken
to mean the consideration of such matters as environment and climate change, health and wellbeing and corporate responsibility
that can or do impact on the valuation of an asset. In a valuation context, sustainability encompasses a wide range of physical,
social, environmental, and economic factors that can affect value. The range of issues includes key environmental risks, such as
flooding, energy efficiency and climate, as well as matters of design, configuration, accessibility, legislation, management, and
fiscal consideration.
When determining property asset values, management have included an estimate for fire safety works where there is a legal or
constructive obligation or where required works affect the market value of the property. Property asset values reflect the best
estimate of the cost of the required works based on known costs and quotations where available. They do not take into account any
potential recovery of costs from third parties.
The net valuation loss of \u00a333.4m (including joint ventures) for the year ended 30 September 2024 includes the one-off impact of
\u00a358.8m following the Government\u2019s removal of MDR.

i) Residential
Trading property: The Group\u2019s own in-house qualified team provided a vacant possession value for the majority of the Group\u2019s
residential properties as at 30 September 2024. A structured sample of these in-house valuations was reviewed by Allsop LLP,
an external independent valuer. Valuing the large number of properties in this portfolio is a significant task. For this reason it is
undertaken on an external inspection basis only. Invariably, when the in-house valuations are compared with those of the external
valuer, around 70% (2023: 78%) of the valuations are within a small acceptable tolerance. Where the difference is more significant,
this is discussed with the valuer to determine the reasons for the difference. Typically, the reasons vary, but it could be, for
example, that further or better information about internal condition is available or that respective valuers have placed a different
interpretation on comparable sales. Once such reasons have been identified, the Group and the valuer agree the appropriate
valuation that should be adopted as the Directors\u2019 Valuation.
Allsop LLP has provided the Directors with the following opinion on the Directors\u2019 Valuation:
Property held in the residential portfolio was valued as at 30 September 2024 by Grainger\u2019s in-house surveyors. These valuations
were reviewed and approved by the Directors. Allsop LLP has undertaken a comprehensive review of the Directors\u2019 Valuation
and they are satisfied with the process by which the in-house valuations were conducted. Allsop LLP valued approximately 86%
(2023: 84%) of the residential portfolio, independently of the Group. Based on the results of that review, Allsop LLP has concluded
that they have a high degree of confidence in those Directors\u2019 Valuations.
Allsop LLP also recommends a discount to apply to the vacant possession valuations to establish the market value of each property,
with the discounts ranging from 5.0% to 17.5% (2023: 5.0% to 17.5%). The discounts are established by tenancy type and region and
are based on evidence gathered by Allsop LLP from recent transactional market evidence. The Directors have adopted the discounts
recommended by Allsop LLP.
Investment property: PRS blocks are valued on an income capitalisation basis, having regard to prevailing market conditions
and evidence, and with close regard to the relativity between the market value and the aggregate vacant possession value.
The valuation has been prepared in accordance with RICS Professional Valuation Standards where fair value is the same as market
value. CBRE Limited valued 56% (2023: 73%) of residential investment property, with Allsop LLP valuing 9% (2023: 17%) on this
basis. Gross yields adopted in the valuations broadly range from 5.7% to 8.8% (2023: 4.9% to 8.5%).
The remaining 35% (2023: 10%) of residential property is valued in line with the trading property approach, with older properties
and groups of individual units valued by Allsop LLP on a discount to vacant possession value basis on the assumption these assets
would be sold individually. Residential reversionary assets discounts adopted ranged from 10% to 17.5% (2023: 10.0% to 17.5%),
whilst the residential PRS discount to vacant possession value was 5% (2023: 5%).
ii) Developments
Trading property: Development trading property of \u00a341.6m (2023: \u00a351.4m) relates to the Group\u2019s legacy strategic land assets.
The current market value has been assessed by CBRE Limited. Their valuation, representing 94% (2023: 98%) of total value, is
on the basis of fair value as defined in the RICS Professional Valuation Standards where fair value is the same as market value.
The remaining 6% (2023: 2%) of the portfolio is a Directors\u2019 Valuation.
Investment property: CBRE Limited assessed the fair value of the direct development schemes in the course of construction.
These schemes are valued on an income capitalisation basis, with gross yields adopted in the valuations ranging from 5.1% to
6.2% (2023: 4.7% to 6.1%). As the assets are under construction, the valuation takes into account estimated costs required to
reach completion.
iii) New build PRS \u2013 CBRE Limited assessed the fair value of the completed assets and assets in the course of construction.
The principal approach was to value the properties on an income capitalisation basis, having regard to prevailing market conditions
and evidence, and with close regard to the relativity between the market value and the aggregate vacant possession value.
Where applicable, estimated costs required to complete construction have been taken into account. The valuation has been
prepared in accordance with RICS Professional Valuation Standards where fair value is the same as market value.
The primary unobservable input within the valuation relates to assumptions for gross yields adopted with respect to comparable
market evidence, with gross yields ranging from 6.0% to 7.2% (2023: 5.3% to 6.3%) across the portfolio. For assets under
construction, a discount to market value to reflect stabilisation and construction risk in the remaining build process is applied on an
asset by asset basis depending on stage of completion.
iv) Affordable housing \u2013 For properties let on affordable rents, social rents or sold on shared ownership leases, Allsop LLP valued
the assets on the basis of Existing Use Value for Social Housing (\u2018EUV-SH\u2019) in line with RICS Global Standards. Properties subject to
intermediate rents have been valued at market value as these assets are not restricted as social housing in perpetuity.
The primary unobservable input within the valuation relates to assumptions for the income capitalisation rate of net rent, which is
determined on a tenure basis. The gross yields adopted for 30 September 2024 valuations range from 4.5% to 5.6% (2023: 4.4% to
5.7%).
v) Tricomm Housing \u2013 Allsop LLP provided an investment valuation as at 30 September 2024 for the property assets owned by
the Group and let under a long-term lease arrangement with the Secretary of State for Defence under a PFI project agreement.
The investment valuation is in accordance with RICS Professional Valuation Standards, and is based on a discounted cash
flow model.
Significant unobservable inputs within the valuation relate to assumptions for house price inflation and the discount rates to apply
to the cash flows. The assumptions adopted for house price inflation are: -1.1% in 2025, 3.8% in 2026, and 2.75%-4.1% thereafter.
The discount rates applied to the cash flows range between 4.9% (2023: 5.0%) non-core MOD income and 7.5% (2023: 6.5%)
on reversion.
vi) Financial asset (CHARM) \u2013 The valuation methodology adopted for the CHARM asset is set out in Note 20 to the financial
statements. CHARM is valued using projected cash flows and applies key unobservable inputs being house price inflation and
discount rates.
As such it is classified as a level 3 asset (Note 27). The assumptions used to value the asset reflect an increase in house prices of
between 3.53% and 4.18% p.a. (2023: nil and 7.19%). A discount rate of 4.5% (2023: 4.5%) has been applied to the interest income
and a rate of 7.5% (2023: 6.5%) has been applied to the projected proceeds from sales of the underlying properties, reflecting the
risk profile of each individual income stream.
Credit risk arises from the credit exposure relating to cash receipts from the financial instrument. All of the cash receipts are payable
by the Church Commissioners, a counterparty considered to be low risk as they have no history of past due or impaired amounts
and there are no past due amounts outstanding at the year end.
vii) Joint ventures and associates \u2013 For Vesta LP, CBRE Limited valued the asset on the same basis described for completed new
build PRS assets. Property assets in other joint ventures including the Connected Living London Group and Lewisham Grainger
Holdings LLP are held at cost reflecting the current early stages of each development.
The Directors consider the valuations provided by external valuers to be representative of fair value.
As required by RICS Professional Valuation Standards, the external valuers in the UK mentioned above have made full disclosure
of the extent and duration of their work for, and fees earned by them from, the Group, which in all cases are less than 5% of their
total fees.
2) Net realisable value of trading property
The Group\u2019s residential trading properties are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at the lower of cost and net
realisable value.
Net realisable value is the net sales proceeds which the Group expects on sale of a property with vacant possession, with vacant
possession being determined in line with the approach detailed in Note 2.1i). The Group has a net realisable value provision
of \u00a34.9m as at 30 September 2024 (2023: \u00a34.8m). The provision includes specific properties which are vacant and properties
expected to become vacant in the future on the assumption of an average annual vacancy rate of c.8% over the next ten years.
Consideration has been given in respect of house price inflation, being the primary assumption relevant to this calculation, with the
provision for properties expected to become vacant in future assuming nil inflation over the next ten years.
Sensitivity analysis
Changes to key assumptions could impact both the income and financial position of the Group. The impact of changes to key
assumptions is considered for the valuation of property assets and the net realisable value of trading property using a range
of reasonable changes and have been applied to asset categories where sensitivities could have the largest impact. The Group
measures its market risk exposure internally by running various sensitivity analyses. The Directors consider that the range of
potential movements set out in the table below represent reasonably possible changes.

Judgements
1) Distinction between investment and trading property
The Group considers the intention at the outset when each property is acquired in order to classify the property as either an
investment or a trading property. Where the intention is either to trade the property or where the property is held for immediate
sale upon receiving vacant possession within the ordinary course of business, the property is classified as trading property.
Where the intention is to hold the property for its long-term rental yield and/or capital appreciation, the property is classified as an
investment property. The classification of the Group\u2019s properties is a significant judgement which directly impacts the statutory net
asset position, as trading properties are held at the lower of cost and net realisable value, whilst investment properties are held at
fair value, with gains or losses taken through the consolidated income statement.
The Group continually reviews properties for changes in use that could subsequently change the classification of properties.
A change in use occurs if property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property which is more than a change in
management\u2019s intentions. The fact patterns associated with changes in the way in which properties are utilised are considered on a
case by case basis and to the extent that a change in use is established, property reclassifications are reflected appropriately.
There have been no property reclassifications in the year.

3. Analysis of profit before tax
The table below details adjusted earnings, which is one of Grainger\u2019s key performance indicators. The metric is utilised as a key
measure to aid understanding of the performance of the continuing business and excludes valuation movements and other
adjustments, that are one-off in nature, which do not form part of the normal ongoing revenue or costs of the business and, either
individually or in aggregate, are material to the reported Group results.

Profit before tax in the adjusted columns above of \u00a391.6m (2023: \u00a397.6m) is the adjusted earnings of the Group. Adjusted earnings
per share assumes tax of \u00a322.9m (2023: \u00a321.5m) in line with the standard rate of UK Corporation Tax 25.0% (2023: 22.0%), divided
by the weighted average number of shares as shown in Note 15. The Group\u2019s IFRS statutory earnings per share is also detailed
in Note 15. The classification of amounts as other adjustments is a judgement made by management and is a matter referred to
the Audit Committee for approval prior to issuing the financial statements. Included in other adjustments are \u00a35.0m of fire safety
provisions (2023: \u00a3nil) and hedge ineffectiveness under IFRS 9 of \u00a36.6m (2023: \u00a3nil).

Segmental information (a) Accounting policy IFRS 8, Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified based upon the Group\u2019s internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (\u2018CODM\u2019) so that the CODM can make decisions about resources to be allocated to segments and assess their performance. The Group\u2019s CODM are the Executive Directors. The two significant segments for the Group are PRS and Reversionary. The PRS segment includes stabilised PRS assets as well as PRS under construction due to direct development and forward funding arrangements, both for wholly-owned assets and the Group\u2019s interest in joint ventures and associates as relevant. The Reversionary segment includes regulated tenancies, as well as CHARM. The Other segment includes legacy strategic land and development arrangements, along with administrative expenses. The key operating performance measure of profit or loss used by the CODM is adjusted earnings before tax, valuation and other adjustments. The principal net asset value (\u2018NAV\u2019) measure reviewed by the CODM is EPRA NTA which is considered to become the most relevant, and therefore the primary NAV measure for the Group. EPRA NTA reflects the tax that will crystallise in relation to the trading portfolio, whilst excluding the volatility of mark to market movements on fixed rate debt and derivatives which are unlikely to be realised. Other NAV measures include EPRA NRV and EPRA NDV which we report alongside EPRA NTA. A full description and reconciliation of these measures is included in the EPRA performance measures section on pages 171 to 174 of this report.
Information relating to the Group\u2019s operating segments is set out in the tables below. The tables distinguish between adjusted
earnings on a segmental basis. Valuation and other adjustments are not reviewed by the CODM on a segmental basis and should be

Segmental assets
The net asset value measures reviewed by the CODM are EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV. These measures reflect the
current market value of trading property owned by the Group rather than the lower of historical cost and net realisable value.
These measures are considered to be a more relevant reflection of the value of the assets owned by the Group.
EPRA NRV is the Group\u2019s statutory net assets plus the adjustment required to increase the value of trading stock from its statutory
accounts value of the lower of cost and net realisable value to its market value. In addition, the statutory statement of financial
position amounts for both deferred tax on property revaluations and derivative financial instruments net of deferred tax, including
those in joint ventures and associates, are added back to statutory net assets. Finally, the market value of Grainger plc shares owned
by the Group are added back to statutory net assets.
EPRA NTA assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred tax liabilities. For the Group,
deferred tax in relation to revaluations of its trading portfolio is taken into account by applying the expected rate of tax to the
adjustment that increases the value of trading stock from its statutory accounts value of the lower of cost and net realisable value,
to its market value. The measure also excludes all intangible assets on the statutory balance sheet, including goodwill.
EPRA NDV reverses some of the adjustments made between statutory net assets, EPRA NRV and EPRA NTA. All of the
adjustments for the value of derivative financial instruments net of deferred tax, including those in joint ventures and associates,
are reversed. The adjustment for the deferred tax on investment property revaluations excluded from EPRA NRV and EPRA NTA
are also reversed, as is the intangible adjustment in respect of EPRA NTA, except for goodwill which remains excluded. In addition,
adjustments are made to net assets to reflect the fair value, net of deferred tax, of the Group\u2019s fixed rate debt.
Total Accounting Return (NTA basis) of 0.3% is calculated from the closing EPRA NTA of 298p per share plus the dividend of 7.55p
per share for the year, divided by the opening EPRA NTA of 305p per share.
These measures are set out below by segment along with a reconciliation to the summarised statutory statement of financial
position. Additional EPRA disclosures are included on pages 171 to 174.

The Group\u2019s CODM are the Executive Directors. The two significant segments for the Group are PRS and Reversionary. The PRS segment includes stabilised PRS assets as well as PRS under construction due to direct development and forward funding arrangements, both for wholly-owned assets and the Group\u2019s interest in joint ventures and associates as relevant. The Reversionary segment includes regulated tenancies, as well as CHARM. The Other segment includes legacy strategic land and development arrangements, along with administrative expenses. The key operating performance measure of profit or loss used by the CODM is adjusted earnings before tax, valuation and other adjustments. The principal net asset value (\u2018NAV\u2019) measure reviewed by the CODM is EPRA NTA which is considered to become the most relevant, and therefore the primary NAV measure for the Group. EPRA NTA reflects the tax that will crystallise in relation to the trading portfolio, whilst excluding the volatility of mark to market movements on fixed rate debt and derivatives which are unlikely to be realised. Other NAV measures include EPRA NRV and EPRA NDV which we report alongside EPRA NTA. A full description and reconciliation of these measures is included in the EPRA performance measures section on pages 171 to 174 of this report.

Profits or losses are calculated by reference to the carrying value of the property sold.

Control of the asset is transferred to the customer across the construction period rather than upon completion of the asset in its entirety as, per the contract in place, this is when the customer gains their residual interest. The input method used to measure progress is the value of work completed, denoted by the costs incurred to date, and revenue is subsequently recognised at the margin stipulated in the contract. This is also when the Group becomes entitled to the consideration arising from the contract.

Tax Accounting policy The taxation charge for the year represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The charge is recognised in the income statement and statement of comprehensive income according to the accounting treatment of the related transaction. Current tax payable or receivable is based on the taxable income for the period and any adjustment in respect of prior periods and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Tax payable upon the realisation of revaluation gains recognised in prior periods is recorded as a current tax charge with a release of the associated deferred tax. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will give rise to a future tax liability against which the deferred tax assets can be recovered. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. The tax charge for the year of \u00a39.4m (2023: \u00a31.8m) recognised in the consolidated income statement comprises:

The 2024 current tax adjustments relating to prior years reflect adjustments which have been included in submitted tax returns and primarily represent movements between deferred and current tax in relation to investment properties and capital allowances. The Group works in an open and transparent manner and maintains a regular dialogue with HM Revenue and Customs. This approach is consistent with the 'low risk' rating we have been awarded by HM Revenue and Customs and to which the Group is committed. The tax charge for the year is lower (2023: lower) than the charge for the year derived by applying the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK of 25.0% (2023: 22.0%) to the profit before tax. The differences, which lead to an effective tax rate of 23.2% (2023: 6.6%) are explained below:

In addition to the tax amounts shown above, contingent tax based on EPRA market value measures, being tax on the difference
between the carrying value of trading properties in the statement of financial position and their market value, has not been
recognised by the Group. This contingent tax amounts to \u00a372.1m, calculated at 25.0% (2023: \u00a385.5m, calculated at 25.0%), and will
be realised as the properties are sold.
It is not possible for the Group to identify the timing of movements in deferred tax between those expected within one year and
those expected in a period greater than one year. This is because movements in the main balances, both assets and liabilities, will be
determined by factors outside the control of the Group, namely the vacation date of properties and interest yield curve movements.
However, given the long-term nature of our property ownership, we anticipate that the balance will predominantly be crystallised in
a period greater than one year.

Earnings per share Accounting policy Basic Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, excluding ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held both in Trust and as treasury shares to meet its obligations under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (\u2018LTIP\u2019) and Deferred Bonus Plan (\u2018DBP\u2019) on which the dividends are being waived. Diluted Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares in issue by the dilutive effect of ordinary shares that the Company may potentially issue relating to its share option schemes and contingent share awards under the LTIP and DBP, based upon the number of shares that would be issued if 30 September 2024 was the end of the contingency period. Where the effect of the above adjustments is antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Financial interest in property assets (\u2018CHARM\u2019 portfolio) Accounting policy The CHARM portfolio is a financial interest in equity mortgages held by the Church of England Pensions Board as mortgagee. It is accounted for under IFRS 9 and is measured at fair value through profit and loss. It is initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, the net change in value recorded is as follows: i) cash received from the instrument in the year is deducted from the carrying value of the assets; and ii) the carrying value of the assets is revised to the net present value of the updated projected cash flows arising from the instrument using a market discount rate at the reporting date. The change in value arising from ii) above is recorded through the consolidated income statement and is shown on the line \u2018Income from financial interest in property assets\u2019.

The closing balance above reflects the lower of historical cost and net realisable value of inventory owned by the Group rather than the current market value. Market value is considered to be a more relevant reflection of the value of inventory owned by the Group. The valuation of trading property in our EPRA NAV metrics take into account the prevailing market conditions as at the reporting date, including sustainability and climate related considerations associated with the properties. The segmental allocation of PRS, Reversionary and Development inventory, as well as additional information including their market value is detailed in Note 4. Information relating to the judgements and assumptions adopted by management in relation to inventories is set out in Note 2 \u2018Critical accounting estimates and judgements\u2019. It is not possible for the Group to identify which properties will be sold within the next 12 months. The size of the Group\u2019s property portfolio does result in a relatively predictable vacancy rate. However, it is not possible to predict in advance the specific properties that will become vacant. As the Group expects to realise trading property in its ordinary operating cycle, it is shown as a current asset in the consolidated statement of financial position. Amounts relating to inventories that have been recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement are as follows:

(a) Bank loans Sterling bank loans include variable rate loans bearing interest at rates between 1.5% and 1.8% above SONIA and Euro bank loans include variable rate loans bearing interest at a rate of 1.6% above EURIBOR. Gross bank loans of \u00a3558.2m are due to mature in the year ended 30 September 2029. The weighted average variable interest rate on bank loans as at 30 September 2024 was 6.6% (2023: 6.8%). Bank loans are secured by fixed and floating charges over specific property and other assets of the Group. Unamortised costs in relation to bank loans of \u00a39.2m (2023: \u00a38.2m) will be amortised over the life of the loans to which they relate. During the year the Group exercised options to extend the maturity dates on certain bank loans by one year. The extension of maturity dates has been deemed to be a non-substantial modification. (b) Non-bank financial institution \u00a3350.0m is funded by fixed rates loans from Rothesay Life PLC across three tranches: \u00a375.0m maturing July 2026, \u00a375.0m maturing October 2027 and \u00a3200.0m maturing July 2029. The weighted average interest rate on non-bank loans as at 30 September 2024 was 2.4% (2023: 2.4%). Unamortised costs in relation to these fixed rate loans of \u00a32.1m (2023: \u00a32.7m) will be amortised over the life of the loans to which they relate. (c) Corporate bonds In 2018, the Group issued a ten-year \u00a3350.0m corporate bond at 3.375% due April 2028. In 2020, the Group issued a ten-year \u00a3350.0m corporate bond at 3.0% due July 2030. As at 30 September 2024 unamortised costs in relation to the corporate bonds stood at \u00a32.4m (2023: \u00a32.9m), and the outstanding discount was \u00a31.6m (2023: \u00a31.9m). (d) Other loans and borrowings information The above analyses of loans and borrowings are net of unamortised loan issue costs and the discount on issuance of the corporate bonds. As at 30 September 2024, unamortised costs totalled \u00a313.7m (2023: \u00a313.8m) and the outstanding discount was \u00a31.6m (2023: \u00a31.9m). In accordance with IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, the Group is required to detail any changes in liabilities that arise from financing activities throughout the year. These changes are detailed below.

27. Financial risk management and derivative financial instruments Accounting policy Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Demand deposits that cannot be accessed and have restrictions on use arising from contracts with third parties are reflected in trade and other receivables. Derivative financial instruments The Group uses derivative instruments to help manage its interest rate risk. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes. Derivatives are classified as current assets and current liabilities. The derivatives are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequently, the gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement, unless the derivatives qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, and have been designated as such, in which case any gain or loss is taken to equity in a cash flow hedge reserve via other comprehensive income. In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the Group is required to document in advance the relationship between the item being hedged and the hedging instrument. The Group is also required to demonstrate that the hedge will be highly effective on an ongoing basis. This effectiveness testing is re-performed at each period end to ensure that the hedge remains highly effective. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time is immediately transferred to the consolidated income statement. Fair value estimation The fair values of interest rate derivatives are based on a discounted cash flow model using market information. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities Derecognition is the point at which the Group removes an asset or liability from its consolidated statement of financial position. The Group\u2019s policy is to derecognise financial assets only when the contractual right to the cash flows from the financial asset expires. The Group also derecognises financial assets that it transfers to another party provided that the transfer of the asset also transfers the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset. When the transfer does not result in the Group transferring the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset but it does result in the Group assuming a corresponding obligation to pay cash flows to another recipient, the financial asset is derecognised. The Group derecognises financial liabilities only when its obligation is discharged, is cancelled or expires. Financial assets classified as fair value through profit and loss (previously available-for-sale) are the financial interest in property assets. Derivative financial instruments not in hedge accounting relationships are classified as fair value through profit and loss. Categories of financial instruments A summary of the classifications of the financial assets and liabilities held by the Group is set out in the following table:

The fair value difference relates to the Group\u2019s corporate bonds and the non-bank loans, which are stated at amortised cost in
the consolidated statement of financial position. The fair value of the bonds is calculated as \u00a3632.8m (2023: \u00a3576.4m) based on
quoted prices in traded markets. The fair value of the non-bank loans is calculated as \u00a3319.1m (2023: \u00a3291.6m) and is calculated by
independent financial advisers (Centrus Group) by reference to quoted iBoxx index rates. There is no requirement under IFRS 9 to
revalue these loans to fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Included in cash above is \u00a316.4m (2023: \u00a312.8m) relating to cash held on behalf of tenants, leaseholders and clients comprising
service charge and sinking fund balances, tenant deposits and cash held on behalf of joint ventures. These cash amounts are held by
the Group in client bank accounts and are excluded from net debt. In addition, \u00a34.9m (2023: \u00a34.7m) of the cash balance is restricted
in use, either by underlying financing arrangements or other commercial agreements comprising either reserve fund amounts or
amounts where the release of cash is contingent upon proof of qualifying expenditure or quarterly cash waterfalls.
Financial risk management
The Group\u2019s objectives for managing financial risk are to minimise the risk of adverse effects on performance and to ensure the
ability of the Group to continue as a going concern while securing access to cost effective finance and maintaining flexibility to
respond quickly to opportunities that arise.
The Group\u2019s policies on financial risk management are approved by the Board of Directors and implemented by Group treasury.
Written policies and procedures cover interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and
investment of excess liquidity. Group treasury regularly reports to the Audit Committee.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to financial risk but does not take positions for
speculative purposes.
The sources of financial risk and the policies and activities used to mitigate each are discussed below and include credit risk, liquidity
risk and market risk, which includes interest rate risk, credit availability risk, house price risk in relation to the Tricomm Housing
portfolio and our financial interest in property assets, and capital risk.
Financial risk factors
1) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss due to a counterparty\u2019s failure to honour its obligations. The Group\u2019s principal financial assets
include its financial interest in property assets, bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables and derivative financial
instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Group\u2019s maximum
exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.
The Group\u2019s financial interest in property assets (CHARM) relates to a financial interest in equity mortgages held by the Church of
England Pensions Board. The Group\u2019s cash receipts are payable by the Church Commissioners, a counterparty considered to be low
risk as they have no history of past due or impaired amounts and there are no past due amounts outstanding at the year end.
The Group sometimes enters into land sales contracts under which a proportion of the consideration is deferred and recognised
within other receivables (Note 23). Each purchaser is subject to financial due diligence prior to sale. At 30 September 2024, \u00a35.2m
(2023: \u00a3nil) was outstanding.
The Group also has credit risk relating to trade receivables. Under IFRS 9, the Group is required to provide for any expected credit
losses arising from trade receivables. For all assured shorthold tenancies, credit checks are performed prior to acceptance of
the tenant. Regulated tenants are incentivised through the benefit of their tenancy agreement to avoid default on their rent.
Lifetime tenancies are generally at low or zero rent and hence suffer minimal credit risk. Rent deposits and personal guarantees are
held in respect of some leases. Taking these factors into account, the risk to the Group of individual tenant default and the credit
risk of trade receivables are considered low, as is borne out by the low level of trade receivables written off both in this year and in
prior years.
Tenant deposits of \u00a311.6m (2023: \u00a39.4m) are held that provide some security against rental arrears and property dilapidations
caused by the tenant. The Group does not hold any other collateral as security. Of the net trade receivables balance of \u00a33.3m, we
consider \u00a3nil to be not due and not impaired. All of the \u00a319.3m other receivables balance are considered not due and not impaired.
As at 30 September 2024 tenant arrears of \u00a31.5m within trade receivables were impaired and fully provided for (2023: \u00a31.5m).
The impaired receivables are based on a review of expected credit losses, which is detailed in Note 23. Impaired receivables and
receivables not considered to be impaired are not material to the financial statements and, therefore, no further analysis is provided.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is managed through the Group\u2019s policies of monitoring
counterparty exposure, monitoring the concentration of credit risk through the use of multiple counterparties and the use of
counterparties of good financial standing. At 30 September 2024, the fair value of all interest rate derivatives that had a positive
value was \u00a319.8m (2023: \u00a345.3m).
At 30 September 2024, the combined credit exposure arising from cash held at banks, money market deposits and interest rate
swaps was \u00a3133.0m (2023: \u00a3166.3m), which represents 3.0% (2023: 4.5%) of total assets. Deposits were placed with financial
institutions with A- or better credit ratings.
The Group has the following cash and cash equivalents:

\u00a3m \u00a3m
Pounds Sterling
92.4
120.0
Euros
0.8
1.0
93.2
121.0
At the year end, \u00a361.4m was placed on deposit (2023: \u00a379.6m) at effective interest rates between 1.5% and 4.6% (2023: 1.5% and
4.6%). Remaining cash and cash equivalents are held as cash at bank or in hand. The Group has an overdraft facility of \u00a31.0m as at
30 September 2024 (2023: \u00a31.0m).
2) Liquidity risk
The Group ensures that it maintains continuity and flexibility through a spread of maturities.
Although the Group\u2019s core funding is subject to covenants requiring certain levels of LTV with respect to the entities in the Group
of obligors, and to maintaining a certain level of interest cover at the Group level, the loans are not secured directly against any
property allowing operational flexibility.
The Group ensures that it maintains sufficient cash for operational requirements at all times. The Group also ensures that it
has sufficient undrawn committed borrowing facilities from a diverse range of banks and other sources to allow for operational
flexibility and to meet committed expenditure. The business is highly cash generative from its sales of vacant properties, gross
rents and management fees. In adverse trading conditions, tenanted and other sales can be increased and new acquisitions can be
stopped. Consequently, the Group is able to reduce gearing (\u2018LTV\u2019) levels and improve liquidity quickly.
The Group\u2019s credit rating is currently provided by Fitch and S&P. Fitch and S&P\u2019s most recent assessments on the Group were issued
in February 2024. Fitch assigned the Group a long-term issuer default rating of \u2018BBB-\u2019 and the Group\u2019s Corporate Bonds\u2019 senior
secured issue ratings of \u2018BBB\u2019. S&P affirmed the Group\u2019s long-term issuer default rating of \u2018BB+\u2019 and the Group\u2019s Corporate Bonds\u2019
senior secured issue ratings of \u2018BBB-\u2019. Both Fitch & S&P assigned the Group\u2019s credit outlook as \u2018Stable\u2019. The Group\u2019s stable credit
outlook suggests there is currently very little risk of a credit rating downgrade to the Group. The Group monitors rating agency
metrics to ensure we maintain or improve upon the Group\u2019s current credit ratings.
In the event of a credit rating downgrade, there may be an increase in the coupon payable on the Group\u2019s Corporate Bonds should
the senior secured issue rating fall below BBB-. This could result in an increase in the Group\u2019s annual interest charge of \u00a38.7m.
However, the coupon would revert to the original coupon payable should the credit rating recover to BBB- or higher. This increase in
interest costs would also affect the Group\u2019s interest cover financial covenant. However, there is significant headroom on our facility
financial covenants and the Group has determined that we would remain compliant and retain significant covenant headroom
despite this increase in interest costs. No other debt facilities or financial covenants of the Group would be affected by a credit
rating downgrade.
Certain borrowings and facilities are structured as ESG funding comprising of either green loans or sustainability-linked finance.
As at the year end, \u00a3175m of the Group's facilities are linked to ESG requirements of which \u00a350m are designated as green loans and
\u00a3125m are sustainability-linked finance. Green loan allocations are made on a use-of-proceeds basis where investment outcomes
are expected to achieve certain minimum EPC ratings. Sustainability-linked facilities include targets to achieve certain EPC targets
in the Group's PRS portfolio. As at the year end, the green loans were fully allocated, and all targets under the sustainability-linked
facilities are being met. Achieving these targets results in the Group receiving a margin benefit on borrowings under their respective
loans and facilities. In the event of not achieving a target, the Group may experience a similar margin penalty. As at the year end, the
maximum possible penalty for missing a target could result in a further finance charge of less than \u00a30.1m.
The Group\u2019s fixed rate borrowings are stated at amortised cost in the financial statements and there is currently no requirement
under IFRS 9 to revalue these borrowings in the financial statements of the Group. Therefore, there would be no impact to the
Group\u2019s measurement of borrowings in the event of a credit rating downgrade.
In accordance with IFRS 13, the Group measures derivatives at fair value including the effect of counterparty credit risk.
Where derivatives have been designated in a cash flow hedge relationship, the Group carries out hedge effectiveness testing in
accordance with IFRS 9. In the event of a credit rating downgrade, there may be an impact on the fair value of the Group\u2019s derivative
contracts as the credit quality of the Group decreases which may give rise to a requirement to recognise some hedge ineffectiveness
in the financial statements. However, in accordance with hedge effectiveness requirements under IFRS 9, credit valuation
adjustments included in the measurement of derivative fair values would need to dominate movements in fair value before creating
hedge ineffectiveness. The Group does not consider that a credit rating downgrade will impact derivative fair values and give rise to
a material level of hedge ineffectiveness.
The following table analyses the Group\u2019s financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities at the consolidated
statement of financial position date into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity
date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows using yield curves as at 30 September 2024.

3) Market risk
The Group is exposed to market risk through interest rates, the availability of credit and house price movements relating to the
Tricomm Housing portfolio and the CHARM portfolio. The approach the Group takes to each of these risks is set out below.
The Group is not significantly exposed to equity price risk or to commodity price risk.
Fair values
IFRS 13 sets out a three-tier hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities valued at fair value. These are as follows:
\u2022 Level 1 \u2013 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
\u2022 Level 2 \u2013 inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly; and
\u2022 Level 3 \u2013 unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The following table presents the Group\u2019s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value:

The significant unobservable inputs affecting the carrying value of the CHARM portfolio are house price inflation and discount rates.
Assumptions used are detailed in Note 2 and reconciliation of movements and amounts recognised in the consolidated income
statement are detailed in Note 20.
The investment valuations provided by Allsop LLP and CBRE Limited are based on the RICS Professional Valuation Standards, but
include a number of unobservable inputs and other valuation assumptions and are detailed in Note 2.
The fair value of swaps and caps were valued in-house by a specialised treasury management system, using a discounted cash flow
model and market information. The fair value is derived from the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates obtained by
means of the current yield curve appropriate for those instruments. As all significant inputs required to value the swaps and caps
are observable, they all fall within Level 2.
Interest rate swaps and caps are all classified as either current assets or current liabilities.
The notional principal amount of the outstanding interest rate swap and cap contracts as at 30 September 2024 was
\u00a3476.6m (2023: \u00a3427.4m).
In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group has reviewed its interest rate hedges. In the absence of hedge accounting, movements
in fair value are taken directly to the consolidated income statement. However, where cash flow hedges have been viewed as
being effective, and have been designated as such, any gains or losses have been taken to the cash flow hedge reserve via other
comprehensive income.
The reconciliation between opening and closing balances for Level 3 is detailed in the table below:

(a) Interest rate risk
The Group\u2019s interest rate risk arises from the risk of fluctuations in interest charges on floating rate borrowings. The Group
mitigates this risk through the use of variable to fixed interest rate swaps and caps. This subjects the Group to fair value risk as the
value of the financial derivatives fluctuates in line with variations in interest rates. However, the Group seeks to cash flow hedge
account where applicable. The Group is, however, driven by commercial considerations when hedging its interest rate risk and is
not driven by the strict requirements of the hedge accounting rules under IFRS 9 if this is to the detriment of achieving the best
commercial arrangement.
Hedging activities are carried out under the terms of the Group\u2019s hedging policies and are regularly reviewed by the Board to
ensure compliance with this policy. The Board reviews its policy on interest rate exposure regularly with a view to establishing that
it is still relevant in the prevailing and forecast economic environment. The current Group treasury policy is to maintain floating
rate exposure of no greater than 30% of expected borrowing. As at 30 September 2024, 95% (2023: 95%) of the Group\u2019s gross
borrowings were economically hedged to fixed or capped rates.
Based on the Group\u2019s interest rate profile at the statement of financial position date, a 1% rise in interest rates would decrease
annual profits by \u00a30.6m (2023: \u00a30.5m). Similarly, a 1% fall would increase annual profits by \u00a30.6m (2023: \u00a30.5m).
Based on the Group\u2019s interest rate profile at the statement of financial position date, a 1% increase in interest rates would increase
the Group\u2019s equity by \u00a39.3m (2023: \u00a311.3m). Similarly, a 1% fall would decrease the Group\u2019s equity by \u00a39.3m (2023: \u00a311.2m).
Upward movements in medium and long-term interest rates, associated with higher interest rate expectation, increase the value
of the Group\u2019s interest rate swaps that provide protection against such moves. The converse is true for downward movements
in the interest yield curve. Where the Group\u2019s swaps qualify as effective hedges under IFRS 9, these movements in fair value are
recognised directly in other comprehensive income rather than the consolidated income statement.
As at 30 September 2024, the market value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges under IFRS 9 is a net asset of \u00a319.8m
(2023: \u00a345.3m). \u00a36.6m is recognised within the income statement for ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges (2023: \u00a3nil). The fair
value movement on derivatives not in hedge accounting relationships resulted in a charge of \u00a3nil (2023: \u00a3nil) in the consolidated
income statement.
At 30 September 2024, the market value of derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges under IFRS 9 is \u00a3nil (2023: \u00a3nil). The cash
flows occur and enter in the determination of profit and loss until the maturity of the hedged debt.

1. Average maturity years excluding extension options. Including extension options, with the extension to be mutually agreed between the Group and the lenders, the average maturity is 4.7
years (2023: 5.5 years).
At 30 September 2024, the fixed interest rates on the interest rate swap contracts vary from 1.00% to 2.30% (2023: 0.36% to
1.51%); the weighted average rates are shown in the table above.
(b) Credit availability risk
Credit availability risk relates to the Group\u2019s ability to refinance its borrowings at the end of their terms or to secure additional
financing where necessary. The Group maintains relationships with a diverse range of lenders and maintains sufficient headroom
through cash and committed borrowings. On 30 September 2024, the Group had available headroom of \u00a3508.7m, with the next
debt maturity not until April 2026, although extension options are available to extend this by a further year.
(c) House price risk
The cash flows arising from the Group\u2019s financial interest in property assets (CHARM) and the Tricomm Housing portfolio are
related to the movement in value of the underlying property assets and, therefore, are subject to movements in house prices.
However, consistent with the Group\u2019s approach to house price risk across its portfolio of trading and investment properties, the
Group does not seek to eliminate this risk as it is a fundamental part of the Group\u2019s business model.
(d) Capital risk management
The Board manages the Group\u2019s capital through the regular review of: cash flow projections; the ability of the Group to meet
contractual commitments; covenant tests; dividend cover; and gearing (\u2018LTV\u2019). The current capital structure of the Group comprises
a mix of debt and equity. Debt is typically both current and non-current interest-bearing loans and borrowings as set out in the
consolidated statement of financial position. Equity comprises issued share capital, reserves and retained earnings as set out in the
consolidated statement of changes in equity.
Group loans and borrowings have associated covenant requirements with respect to LTV and ICR. The covenants operate
on a facility by facility basis, with maximum LTV ranges between 70% \u2013 75% and minimum ICR cover of 1.35x \u2013 1.75x. As at
30 September 2024, the minimum headroom based on individual facilities is a 10.6% increase in LTV and 44.1% reduction in ICR.
At the year end, Group LTV was 38.2% (see page 176 for calculation) and Group ICR was 3.4x.
The Board regularly reviews all current and projected future levels to monitor anticipated compliance and available headroom
against key thresholds. LTV is reviewed in the context of the Board\u2019s view of markets, the prospects of, and risks relating to, the
portfolio and the recurring cash flows of the business. The Group deems a range of LTV of up to 45% to be appropriate in the
medium term.
The Group monitors its cost of debt and Weighted Average Cost of Capital (\u2018WACC\u2019) on a regular basis. At 30 September 2024,
the weighted average cost of debt was 3.2% (2023: 3.3%). Investment and development opportunities are evaluated using a risk
adjusted WACC in order to ensure long-term Shareholder value is created.

Derivative financial instruments The Group uses derivative instruments to help manage its interest rate risk.

In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the Group is required to document in advance the relationship between the item being hedged and the hedging instrument. The Group is also required to demonstrate that the hedge will be highly effective on an ongoing basis. This effectiveness testing is re-performed at each period end to ensure that the hedge remains highly effective. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time is immediately transferred to the consolidated income statement. Fair value estimation The fair values of interest rate derivatives are based on a discounted cash flow model using market information. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities Derecognition is the point at which the Group removes an asset or liability from its consolidated statement of financial position.

The Group also derecognises financial assets that it transfers to another party provided that the transfer of the asset also transfers the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset. When the transfer does not result in the Group transferring the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset but it does result in the Group assuming a corresponding obligation to pay cash flows to another recipient, the financial asset is derecognised. The Group derecognises financial liabilities only when its obligation is discharged, is cancelled or expires.

The fair value difference relates to the Group\u2019s corporate bonds and the non-bank loans, which are stated at amortised cost in the consolidated statement of financial position. The fair value of the bonds is calculated as \u00a3632.8m (2023: \u00a3576.4m) based on quoted prices in traded markets. The fair value of the non-bank loans is calculated as \u00a3319.1m (2023: \u00a3291.6m) and is calculated by independent financial advisers (Centrus Group) by reference to quoted iBoxx index rates. There is no requirement under IFRS 9 to revalue these loans to fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position. Included in cash above is \u00a316.4m (2023: \u00a312.8m) relating to cash held on behalf of tenants, leaseholders and clients comprising service charge and sinking fund balances, tenant deposits and cash held on behalf of joint ventures. These cash amounts are held by the Group in client bank accounts and are excluded from net debt. In addition, \u00a34.9m (2023: \u00a34.7m) of the cash balance is restricted in use, either by underlying financing arrangements or other commercial agreements comprising either reserve fund amounts or amounts where the release of cash is contingent upon proof of qualifying expenditure or quarterly cash waterfalls.

Financial risk management and derivative financial instruments Accounting policy Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Demand deposits that cannot be accessed and have restrictions on use arising from contracts with third parties are reflected in trade and other receivables. Derivative financial instruments The Group uses derivative instruments to help manage its interest rate risk. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes. Derivatives are classified as current assets and current liabilities. The derivatives are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequently, the gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement, unless the derivatives qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, and have been designated as such, in which case any gain or loss is taken to equity in a cash flow hedge reserve via other comprehensive income. In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the Group is required to document in advance the relationship between the item being hedged and the hedging instrument. The Group is also required to demonstrate that the hedge will be highly effective on an ongoing basis. This effectiveness testing is re-performed at each period end to ensure that the hedge remains highly effective. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time is immediately transferred to the consolidated income statement. Fair value estimation The fair values of interest rate derivatives are based on a discounted cash flow model using market information. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities Derecognition is the point at which the Group removes an asset or liability from its consolidated statement of financial position. The Group\u2019s policy is to derecognise financial assets only when the contractual right to the cash flows from the financial asset expires. The Group also derecognises financial assets that it transfers to another party provided that the transfer of the asset also transfers the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset. When the transfer does not result in the Group transferring the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset but it does result in the Group assuming a corresponding obligation to pay cash flows to another recipient, the financial asset is derecognised. The Group derecognises financial liabilities only when its obligation is discharged, is cancelled or expires. Financial assets classified as fair value through profit and loss (previously available-for-sale) are the financial interest in property assets. Derivative financial instruments not in hedge accounting relationships are classified as fair value through profit and loss.

The fair value difference relates to the Group\u2019s corporate bonds and the non-bank loans, which are stated at amortised cost in the consolidated statement of financial position. The fair value of the bonds is calculated as \u00a3632.8m (2023: \u00a3576.4m) based on quoted prices in traded markets. The fair value of the non-bank loans is calculated as \u00a3319.1m (2023: \u00a3291.6m) and is calculated by independent financial advisers (Centrus Group) by reference to quoted iBoxx index rates. There is no requirement under IFRS 9 to revalue these loans to fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position. Included in cash above is \u00a316.4m (2023: \u00a312.8m) relating to cash held on behalf of tenants, leaseholders and clients comprising service charge and sinking fund balances, tenant deposits and cash held on behalf of joint ventures. These cash amounts are held by the Group in client bank accounts and are excluded from net debt. In addition, \u00a34.9m (2023: \u00a34.7m) of the cash balance is restricted in use, either by underlying financing arrangements or other commercial agreements comprising either reserve fund amounts or amounts where the release of cash is contingent upon proof of qualifying expenditure or quarterly cash waterfalls. Financial risk management The Group\u2019s objectives for managing financial risk are to minimise the risk of adverse effects on performance and to ensure the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern while securing access to cost effective finance and maintaining flexibility to respond quickly to opportunities that arise. The Group\u2019s policies on financial risk management are approved by the Board of Directors and implemented by Group treasury. Written policies and procedures cover interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and investment of excess liquidity. Group treasury regularly reports to the Audit Committee. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to financial risk but does not take positions for speculative purposes. The sources of financial risk and the policies and activities used to mitigate each are discussed below and include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, which includes interest rate risk, credit availability risk, house price risk in relation to the Tricomm Housing portfolio and our financial interest in property assets, and capital risk. Financial risk factors 1) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss due to a counterparty\u2019s failure to honour its obligations. The Group\u2019s principal financial assets include its financial interest in property assets, bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Group\u2019s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained. The Group\u2019s financial interest in property assets (CHARM) relates to a financial interest in equity mortgages held by the Church of England Pensions Board. The Group\u2019s cash receipts are payable by the Church Commissioners, a counterparty considered to be low risk as they have no history of past due or impaired amounts and there are no past due amounts outstanding at the year end. The Group sometimes enters into land sales contracts under which a proportion of the consideration is deferred and recognised within other receivables (Note 23). Each purchaser is subject to financial due diligence prior to sale. At 30 September 2024, \u00a35.2m (2023: \u00a3nil) was outstanding. The Group also has credit risk relating to trade receivables. Under IFRS 9, the Group is required to provide for any expected credit losses arising from trade receivables. For all assured shorthold tenancies, credit checks are performed prior to acceptance of the tenant. Regulated tenants are incentivised through the benefit of their tenancy agreement to avoid default on their rent. Lifetime tenancies are generally at low or zero rent and hence suffer minimal credit risk. Rent deposits and personal guarantees are held in respect of some leases. Taking these factors into account, the risk to the Group of individual tenant default and the credit risk of trade receivables are considered low, as is borne out by the low level of trade receivables written off both in this year and in prior years. Tenant deposits of \u00a311.6m (2023: \u00a39.4m) are held that provide some security against rental arrears and property dilapidations caused by the tenant. The Group does not hold any other collateral as security. Of the net trade receivables balance of \u00a33.3m, we consider \u00a3nil to be not due and not impaired. All of the \u00a319.3m other receivables balance are considered not due and not impaired. As at 30 September 2024 tenant arrears of \u00a31.5m within trade receivables were impaired and fully provided for (2023: \u00a31.5m). The impaired receivables are based on a review of expected credit losses, which is detailed in Note 23. Impaired receivables and receivables not considered to be impaired are not material to the financial statements and, therefore, no further analysis is provided. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is managed through the Group\u2019s policies of monitoring counterparty exposure, monitoring the concentration of credit risk through the use of multiple counterparties and the use of counterparties of good financial standing. At 30 September 2024, the fair value of all interest rate derivatives that had a positive value was \u00a319.8m (2023: \u00a345.3m). At 30 September 2024, the combined credit exposure arising from cash held at banks, money market deposits and interest rate swaps was \u00a3133.0m (2023: \u00a3166.3m), which represents 3.0% (2023: 4.5%) of total assets. Deposits were placed with financial institutions with A- or better credit ratings. The Group has the following cash and cash equivalents:

At the year end, \u00a361.4m was placed on deposit (2023: \u00a379.6m) at effective interest rates between 1.5% and 4.6% (2023: 1.5% and 4.6%). Remaining cash and cash equivalents are held as cash at bank or in hand. The Group has an overdraft facility of \u00a31.0m as at 30 September 2024 (2023: \u00a31.0m). 2) Liquidity risk The Group ensures that it maintains continuity and flexibility through a spread of maturities. Although the Group\u2019s core funding is subject to covenants requiring certain levels of LTV with respect to the entities in the Group of obligors, and to maintaining a certain level of interest cover at the Group level, the loans are not secured directly against any property allowing operational flexibility. The Group ensures that it maintains sufficient cash for operational requirements at all times. The Group also ensures that it has sufficient undrawn committed borrowing facilities from a diverse range of banks and other sources to allow for operational flexibility and to meet committed expenditure. The business is highly cash generative from its sales of vacant properties, gross rents and management fees. In adverse trading conditions, tenanted and other sales can be increased and new acquisitions can be stopped. Consequently, the Group is able to reduce gearing (\u2018LTV\u2019) levels and improve liquidity quickly. The Group\u2019s credit rating is currently provided by Fitch and S&P. Fitch and S&P\u2019s most recent assessments on the Group were issued in February 2024. Fitch assigned the Group a long-term issuer default rating of \u2018BBB-\u2019 and the Group\u2019s Corporate Bonds\u2019 senior secured issue ratings of \u2018BBB\u2019. S&P affirmed the Group\u2019s long-term issuer default rating of \u2018BB+\u2019 and the Group\u2019s Corporate Bonds\u2019 senior secured issue ratings of \u2018BBB-\u2019. Both Fitch & S&P assigned the Group\u2019s credit outlook as \u2018Stable\u2019. The Group\u2019s stable credit outlook suggests there is currently very little risk of a credit rating downgrade to the Group. The Group monitors rating agency metrics to ensure we maintain or improve upon the Group\u2019s current credit ratings. In the event of a credit rating downgrade, there may be an increase in the coupon payable on the Group\u2019s Corporate Bonds should the senior secured issue rating fall below BBB-. This could result in an increase in the Group\u2019s annual interest charge of \u00a38.7m. However, the coupon would revert to the original coupon payable should the credit rating recover to BBB- or higher. This increase in interest costs would also affect the Group\u2019s interest cover financial covenant. However, there is significant headroom on our facility financial covenants and the Group has determined that we would remain compliant and retain significant covenant headroom despite this increase in interest costs. No other debt facilities or financial covenants of the Group would be affected by a credit rating downgrade. Certain borrowings and facilities are structured as ESG funding comprising of either green loans or sustainability-linked finance. As at the year end, \u00a3175m of the Group's facilities are linked to ESG requirements of which \u00a350m are designated as green loans and \u00a3125m are sustainability-linked finance. Green loan allocations are made on a use-of-proceeds basis where investment outcomes are expected to achieve certain minimum EPC ratings. Sustainability-linked facilities include targets to achieve certain EPC targets in the Group's PRS portfolio. As at the year end, the green loans were fully allocated, and all targets under the sustainability-linked facilities are being met. Achieving these targets results in the Group receiving a margin benefit on borrowings under their respective loans and facilities. In the event of not achieving a target, the Group may experience a similar margin penalty. As at the year end, the maximum possible penalty for missing a target could result in a further finance charge of less than \u00a30.1m. The Group\u2019s fixed rate borrowings are stated at amortised cost in the financial statements and there is currently no requirement under IFRS 9 to revalue these borrowings in the financial statements of the Group. Therefore, there would be no impact to the Group\u2019s measurement of borrowings in the event of a credit rating downgrade. In accordance with IFRS 13, the Group measures derivatives at fair value including the effect of counterparty credit risk. Where derivatives have been designated in a cash flow hedge relationship, the Group carries out hedge effectiveness testing in accordance with IFRS 9. In the event of a credit rating downgrade, there may be an impact on the fair value of the Group\u2019s derivative contracts as the credit quality of the Group decreases which may give rise to a requirement to recognise some hedge ineffectiveness in the financial statements. However, in accordance with hedge effectiveness requirements under IFRS 9, credit valuation adjustments included in the measurement of derivative fair values would need to dominate movements in fair value before creating hedge ineffectiveness. The Group does not consider that a credit rating downgrade will impact derivative fair values and give rise to a material level of hedge ineffectiveness. The following table analyses the Group\u2019s financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities at the consolidated statement of financial position date into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows using yield curves as at 30 September 2024.

3) Market risk The Group is exposed to market risk through interest rates, the availability of credit and house price movements relating to the Tricomm Housing portfolio and the CHARM portfolio. The approach the Group takes to each of these risks is set out below. The Group is not significantly exposed to equity price risk or to commodity price risk. Fair values IFRS 13 sets out a three-tier hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities valued at fair value. These are as follows: \u2022 Level 1 \u2013 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; \u2022 Level 2 \u2013 inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and \u2022 Level 3 \u2013 unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The following table presents the Group\u2019s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value:

1. Includes investment property - held for sale The significant unobservable inputs affecting the carrying value of the CHARM portfolio are house price inflation and discount rates. Assumptions used are detailed in Note 2 and reconciliation of movements and amounts recognised in the consolidated income statement are detailed in Note 20. The investment valuations provided by Allsop LLP and CBRE Limited are based on the RICS Professional Valuation Standards, but include a number of unobservable inputs and other valuation assumptions and are detailed in Note 2. The fair value of swaps and caps were valued in-house by a specialised treasury management system, using a discounted cash flow model and market information. The fair value is derived from the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates obtained by means of the current yield curve appropriate for those instruments. As all significant inputs required to value the swaps and caps are observable, they all fall within Level 2. Interest rate swaps and caps are all classified as either current assets or current liabilities. The notional principal amount of the outstanding interest rate swap and cap contracts as at 30 September 2024 was \u00a3476.6m (2023: \u00a3427.4m). In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group has reviewed its interest rate hedges. In the absence of hedge accounting, movements in fair value are taken directly to the consolidated income statement. However, where cash flow hedges have been viewed as being effective, and have been designated as such, any gains or losses have been taken to the cash flow hedge reserve via other comprehensive income. The reconciliation between opening and closing balances for Level 3 is detailed in the table below:

(a) Interest rate risk The Group\u2019s interest rate risk arises from the risk of fluctuations in interest charges on floating rate borrowings. The Group mitigates this risk through the use of variable to fixed interest rate swaps and caps. This subjects the Group to fair value risk as the value of the financial derivatives fluctuates in line with variations in interest rates. However, the Group seeks to cash flow hedge account where applicable. The Group is, however, driven by commercial considerations when hedging its interest rate risk and is not driven by the strict requirements of the hedge accounting rules under IFRS 9 if this is to the detriment of achieving the best commercial arrangement. Hedging activities are carried out under the terms of the Group\u2019s hedging policies and are regularly reviewed by the Board to ensure compliance with this policy. The Board reviews its policy on interest rate exposure regularly with a view to establishing that it is still relevant in the prevailing and forecast economic environment. The current Group treasury policy is to maintain floating rate exposure of no greater than 30% of expected borrowing. As at 30 September 2024, 95% (2023: 95%) of the Group\u2019s gross borrowings were economically hedged to fixed or capped rates. Based on the Group\u2019s interest rate profile at the statement of financial position date, a 1% rise in interest rates would decrease annual profits by \u00a30.6m (2023: \u00a30.5m). Similarly, a 1% fall would increase annual profits by \u00a30.6m (2023: \u00a30.5m). Based on the Group\u2019s interest rate profile at the statement of financial position date, a 1% increase in interest rates would increase the Group\u2019s equity by \u00a39.3m (2023: \u00a311.3m). Similarly, a 1% fall would decrease the Group\u2019s equity by \u00a39.3m (2023: \u00a311.2m). Upward movements in medium and long-term interest rates, associated with higher interest rate expectation, increase the value of the Group\u2019s interest rate swaps that provide protection against such moves. The converse is true for downward movements in the interest yield curve. Where the Group\u2019s swaps qualify as effective hedges under IFRS 9, these movements in fair value are recognised directly in other comprehensive income rather than the consolidated income statement. As at 30 September 2024, the market value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges under IFRS 9 is a net asset of \u00a319.8m (2023: \u00a345.3m). \u00a36.6m is recognised within the income statement for ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges (2023: \u00a3nil). The fair value movement on derivatives not in hedge accounting relationships resulted in a charge of \u00a3nil (2023: \u00a3nil) in the consolidated income statement. At 30 September 2024, the market value of derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges under IFRS 9 is \u00a3nil (2023: \u00a3nil). The cash flows occur and enter in the determination of profit and loss until the maturity of the hedged debt. The table below summarises debt hedged: Hedged debt

1. Average maturity years excluding extension options. Including extension options, with the extension to be mutually agreed between the Group and the lenders, the average maturity is 4.7 years (2023: 5.5 years). At 30 September 2024, the fixed interest rates on the interest rate swap contracts vary from 1.00% to 2.30% (2023: 0.36% to 1.51%); the weighted average rates are shown in the table above. (b) Credit availability risk Credit availability risk relates to the Group\u2019s ability to refinance its borrowings at the end of their terms or to secure additional financing where necessary. The Group maintains relationships with a diverse range of lenders and maintains sufficient headroom through cash and committed borrowings. On 30 September 2024, the Group had available headroom of \u00a3508.7m, with the next debt maturity not until April 2026, although extension options are available to extend this by a further year. (c) House price risk The cash flows arising from the Group\u2019s financial interest in property assets (CHARM) and the Tricomm Housing portfolio are related to the movement in value of the underlying property assets and, therefore, are subject to movements in house prices. However, consistent with the Group\u2019s approach to house price risk across its portfolio of trading and investment properties, the Group does not seek to eliminate this risk as it is a fundamental part of the Group\u2019s business model. (d) Capital risk management The Board manages the Group\u2019s capital through the regular review of: cash flow projections; the ability of the Group to meet contractual commitments; covenant tests; dividend cover; and gearing (\u2018LTV\u2019). The current capital structure of the Group comprises a mix of debt and equity. Debt is typically both current and non-current interest-bearing loans and borrowings as set out in the consolidated statement of financial position. Equity comprises issued share capital, reserves and retained earnings as set out in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Group loans and borrowings have associated covenant requirements with respect to LTV and ICR. The covenants operate on a facility by facility basis, with maximum LTV ranges between 70% \u2013 75% and minimum ICR cover of 1.35x \u2013 1.75x. As at 30 September 2024, the minimum headroom based on individual facilities is a 10.6% increase in LTV and 44.1% reduction in ICR. At the year end, Group LTV was 38.2% (see page 176 for calculation) and Group ICR was 3.4x. The Board regularly reviews all current and projected future levels to monitor anticipated compliance and available headroom against key thresholds. LTV is reviewed in the context of the Board\u2019s view of markets, the prospects of, and risks relating to, the portfolio and the recurring cash flows of the business. The Group deems a range of LTV of up to 45% to be appropriate in the medium term. The Group monitors its cost of debt and Weighted Average Cost of Capital (\u2018WACC\u2019) on a regular basis. At 30 September 2024, the weighted average cost of debt was 3.2% (2023: 3.3%). Investment and development opportunities are evaluated using a risk adjusted WACC in order to ensure long-term Shareholder value is created.", "dimensions": { "concept": "ifrs-full:DisclosureOfFinancialRiskManagementExplanatory", "language": "en", "entity": "scheme:2138007CEIRKZMNI2979", "period": "2023-10-01T00:00:00/2024-10-01T00:00:00" } }, "fact-462": { "value": "Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

The Group\u2019s principal financial assets include its financial interest in property assets, bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Group\u2019s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained. The Group\u2019s financial interest in property assets (CHARM) relates to a financial interest in equity mortgages held by the Church of England Pensions Board. The Group\u2019s cash receipts are payable by the Church Commissioners, a counterparty considered to be low risk as they have no history of past due or impaired amounts and there are no past due amounts outstanding at the year end. The Group sometimes enters into land sales contracts under which a proportion of the consideration is deferred and recognised within other receivables (Note 23). Each purchaser is subject to financial due diligence prior to sale. At 30 September 2024, \u00a35.2m (2023: \u00a3nil) was outstanding. The Group also has credit risk relating to trade receivables. Under IFRS 9, the Group is required to provide for any expected credit losses arising from trade receivables. For all assured shorthold tenancies, credit checks are performed prior to acceptance of the tenant. Regulated tenants are incentivised through the benefit of their tenancy agreement to avoid default on their rent. Lifetime tenancies are generally at low or zero rent and hence suffer minimal credit risk. Rent deposits and personal guarantees are held in respect of some leases. Taking these factors into account, the risk to the Group of individual tenant default and the credit risk of trade receivables are considered low, as is borne out by the low level of trade receivables written off both in this year and in prior years. Tenant deposits of \u00a311.6m (2023: \u00a39.4m) are held that provide some security against rental arrears and property dilapidations caused by the tenant. The Group does not hold any other collateral as security. Of the net trade receivables balance of \u00a33.3m, we consider \u00a3nil to be not due and not impaired. All of the \u00a319.3m other receivables balance are considered not due and not impaired. As at 30 September 2024 tenant arrears of \u00a31.5m within trade receivables were impaired and fully provided for (2023: \u00a31.5m). The impaired receivables are based on a review of expected credit losses, which is detailed in Note 23. Impaired receivables and receivables not considered to be impaired are not material to the financial statements and, therefore, no further analysis is provided. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is managed through the Group\u2019s policies of monitoring counterparty exposure, monitoring the concentration of credit risk through the use of multiple counterparties and the use of counterparties of good financial standing. At 30 September 2024, the fair value of all interest rate derivatives that had a positive value was \u00a319.8m (2023: \u00a345.3m). At 30 September 2024, the combined credit exposure arising from cash held at banks, money market deposits and interest rate swaps was \u00a3133.0m (2023: \u00a3166.3m), which represents 3.0% (2023: 4.5%) of total assets. Deposits were placed with financial institutions with A- or better credit ratings. The Group has the following cash and cash equivalents:

At the year end, \u00a361.4m was placed on deposit (2023: \u00a379.6m) at effective interest rates between 1.5% and 4.6% (2023: 1.5% and 4.6%). Remaining cash and cash equivalents are held as cash at bank or in hand. The Group has an overdraft facility of \u00a31.0m as at 30 September 2024 (2023: \u00a31.0m).

Although the Group\u2019s core funding is subject to covenants requiring certain levels of LTV with respect to the entities in the Group of obligors, and to maintaining a certain level of interest cover at the Group level, the loans are not secured directly against any property allowing operational flexibility. The Group ensures that it maintains sufficient cash for operational requirements at all times. The Group also ensures that it has sufficient undrawn committed borrowing facilities from a diverse range of banks and other sources to allow for operational flexibility and to meet committed expenditure. The business is highly cash generative from its sales of vacant properties, gross rents and management fees. In adverse trading conditions, tenanted and other sales can be increased and new acquisitions can be stopped. Consequently, the Group is able to reduce gearing (\u2018LTV\u2019) levels and improve liquidity quickly. The Group\u2019s credit rating is currently provided by Fitch and S&P. Fitch and S&P\u2019s most recent assessments on the Group were issued in February 2024. Fitch assigned the Group a long-term issuer default rating of \u2018BBB-\u2019 and the Group\u2019s Corporate Bonds\u2019 senior secured issue ratings of \u2018BBB\u2019. S&P affirmed the Group\u2019s long-term issuer default rating of \u2018BB+\u2019 and the Group\u2019s Corporate Bonds\u2019 senior secured issue ratings of \u2018BBB-\u2019. Both Fitch & S&P assigned the Group\u2019s credit outlook as \u2018Stable\u2019. The Group\u2019s stable credit outlook suggests there is currently very little risk of a credit rating downgrade to the Group. The Group monitors rating agency metrics to ensure we maintain or improve upon the Group\u2019s current credit ratings. In the event of a credit rating downgrade, there may be an increase in the coupon payable on the Group\u2019s Corporate Bonds should the senior secured issue rating fall below BBB-. This could result in an increase in the Group\u2019s annual interest charge of \u00a38.7m. However, the coupon would revert to the original coupon payable should the credit rating recover to BBB- or higher. This increase in interest costs would also affect the Group\u2019s interest cover financial covenant. However, there is significant headroom on our facility financial covenants and the Group has determined that we would remain compliant and retain significant covenant headroom despite this increase in interest costs. No other debt facilities or financial covenants of the Group would be affected by a credit rating downgrade. Certain borrowings and facilities are structured as ESG funding comprising of either green loans or sustainability-linked finance. As at the year end, \u00a3175m of the Group's facilities are linked to ESG requirements of which \u00a350m are designated as green loans and \u00a3125m are sustainability-linked finance. Green loan allocations are made on a use-of-proceeds basis where investment outcomes are expected to achieve certain minimum EPC ratings. Sustainability-linked facilities include targets to achieve certain EPC targets in the Group's PRS portfolio. As at the year end, the green loans were fully allocated, and all targets under the sustainability-linked facilities are being met. Achieving these targets results in the Group receiving a margin benefit on borrowings under their respective loans and facilities. In the event of not achieving a target, the Group may experience a similar margin penalty. As at the year end, the maximum possible penalty for missing a target could result in a further finance charge of less than \u00a30.1m. The Group\u2019s fixed rate borrowings are stated at amortised cost in the financial statements and there is currently no requirement under IFRS 9 to revalue these borrowings in the financial statements of the Group. Therefore, there would be no impact to the Group\u2019s measurement of borrowings in the event of a credit rating downgrade. In accordance with IFRS 13, the Group measures derivatives at fair value including the effect of counterparty credit risk. Where derivatives have been designated in a cash flow hedge relationship, the Group carries out hedge effectiveness testing in accordance with IFRS 9. In the event of a credit rating downgrade, there may be an impact on the fair value of the Group\u2019s derivative contracts as the credit quality of the Group decreases which may give rise to a requirement to recognise some hedge ineffectiveness in the financial statements. However, in accordance with hedge effectiveness requirements under IFRS 9, credit valuation adjustments included in the measurement of derivative fair values would need to dominate movements in fair value before creating hedge ineffectiveness. The Group does not consider that a credit rating downgrade will impact derivative fair values and give rise to a material level of hedge ineffectiveness. The following table analyses the Group\u2019s financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities at the consolidated statement of financial position date into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows using yield curves as at 30 September 2024.

Fair values IFRS 13 sets out a three-tier hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities valued at fair value. These are as follows: \u2022 Level 1 \u2013 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; \u2022 Level 2 \u2013 inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and \u2022 Level 3 \u2013 unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

1. Includes investment property - held for sale The significant unobservable inputs affecting the carrying value of the CHARM portfolio are house price inflation and discount rates. Assumptions used are detailed in Note 2 and reconciliation of movements and amounts recognised in the consolidated income statement are detailed in Note 20. The investment valuations provided by Allsop LLP and CBRE Limited are based on the RICS Professional Valuation Standards, but include a number of unobservable inputs and other valuation assumptions and are detailed in Note 2. The fair value of swaps and caps were valued in-house by a specialised treasury management system, using a discounted cash flow model and market information. The fair value is derived from the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates obtained by means of the current yield curve appropriate for those instruments. As all significant inputs required to value the swaps and caps are observable, they all fall within Level 2. Interest rate swaps and caps are all classified as either current assets or current liabilities. The notional principal amount of the outstanding interest rate swap and cap contracts as at 30 September 2024 was \u00a3476.6m (2023: \u00a3427.4m). In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group has reviewed its interest rate hedges. In the absence of hedge accounting, movements in fair value are taken directly to the consolidated income statement. However, where cash flow hedges have been viewed as being effective, and have been designated as such, any gains or losses have been taken to the cash flow hedge reserve via other comprehensive income. The reconciliation between opening and closing balances for Level 3 is detailed in the table below:

(a) Interest rate risk The Group\u2019s interest rate risk arises from the risk of fluctuations in interest charges on floating rate borrowings. The Group mitigates this risk through the use of variable to fixed interest rate swaps and caps. This subjects the Group to fair value risk as the value of the financial derivatives fluctuates in line with variations in interest rates. However, the Group seeks to cash flow hedge account where applicable. The Group is, however, driven by commercial considerations when hedging its interest rate risk and is not driven by the strict requirements of the hedge accounting rules under IFRS 9 if this is to the detriment of achieving the best commercial arrangement. Hedging activities are carried out under the terms of the Group\u2019s hedging policies and are regularly reviewed by the Board to ensure compliance with this policy. The Board reviews its policy on interest rate exposure regularly with a view to establishing that it is still relevant in the prevailing and forecast economic environment. The current Group treasury policy is to maintain floating rate exposure of no greater than 30% of expected borrowing. As at 30 September 2024, 95% (2023: 95%) of the Group\u2019s gross borrowings were economically hedged to fixed or capped rates. Based on the Group\u2019s interest rate profile at the statement of financial position date, a 1% rise in interest rates would decrease annual profits by \u00a30.6m (2023: \u00a30.5m). Similarly, a 1% fall would increase annual profits by \u00a30.6m (2023: \u00a30.5m). Based on the Group\u2019s interest rate profile at the statement of financial position date, a 1% increase in interest rates would increase the Group\u2019s equity by \u00a39.3m (2023: \u00a311.3m). Similarly, a 1% fall would decrease the Group\u2019s equity by \u00a39.3m (2023: \u00a311.2m). Upward movements in medium and long-term interest rates, associated with higher interest rate expectation, increase the value of the Group\u2019s interest rate swaps that provide protection against such moves. The converse is true for downward movements in the interest yield curve. Where the Group\u2019s swaps qualify as effective hedges under IFRS 9, these movements in fair value are recognised directly in other comprehensive income rather than the consolidated income statement. As at 30 September 2024, the market value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges under IFRS 9 is a net asset of \u00a319.8m (2023: \u00a345.3m). \u00a36.6m is recognised within the income statement for ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges (2023: \u00a3nil). The fair value movement on derivatives not in hedge accounting relationships resulted in a charge of \u00a3nil (2023: \u00a3nil) in the consolidated income statement. At 30 September 2024, the market value of derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges under IFRS 9 is \u00a3nil (2023: \u00a3nil). The cash flows occur and enter in the determination of profit and loss until the maturity of the hedged debt. The table below summarises debt hedged: Hedged debt

1. Average maturity years excluding extension options. Including extension options, with the extension to be mutually agreed between the Group and the lenders, the average maturity is 4.7 years (2023: 5.5 years). At 30 September 2024, the fixed interest rates on the interest rate swap contracts vary from 1.00% to 2.30% (2023: 0.36% to 1.51%); the weighted average rates are shown in the table above. (b) Credit availability risk Credit availability risk relates to the Group\u2019s ability to refinance its borrowings at the end of their terms or to secure additional financing where necessary. The Group maintains relationships with a diverse range of lenders and maintains sufficient headroom through cash and committed borrowings. On 30 September 2024, the Group had available headroom of \u00a3508.7m, with the next debt maturity not until April 2026, although extension options are available to extend this by a further year. (c) House price risk The cash flows arising from the Group\u2019s financial interest in property assets (CHARM) and the Tricomm Housing portfolio are related to the movement in value of the underlying property assets and, therefore, are subject to movements in house prices. However, consistent with the Group\u2019s approach to house price risk across its portfolio of trading and investment properties, the Group does not seek to eliminate this risk as it is a fundamental part of the Group\u2019s business model. (d) Capital risk management The Board manages the Group\u2019s capital through the regular review of: cash flow projections; the ability of the Group to meet contractual commitments; covenant tests; dividend cover; and gearing (\u2018LTV\u2019). The current capital structure of the Group comprises a mix of debt and equity. Debt is typically both current and non-current interest-bearing loans and borrowings as set out in the consolidated statement of financial position. Equity comprises issued share capital, reserves and retained earnings as set out in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Group loans and borrowings have associated covenant requirements with respect to LTV and ICR. The covenants operate on a facility by facility basis, with maximum LTV ranges between 70% \u2013 75% and minimum ICR cover of 1.35x \u2013 1.75x. As at 30 September 2024, the minimum headroom based on individual facilities is a 10.6% increase in LTV and 44.1% reduction in ICR. At the year end, Group LTV was 38.2% (see page 176 for calculation) and Group ICR was 3.4x. The Board regularly reviews all current and projected future levels to monitor anticipated compliance and available headroom against key thresholds. LTV is reviewed in the context of the Board\u2019s view of markets, the prospects of, and risks relating to, the portfolio and the recurring cash flows of the business. The Group deems a range of LTV of up to 45% to be appropriate in the medium term. The Group monitors its cost of debt and Weighted Average Cost of Capital (\u2018WACC\u2019) on a regular basis. At 30 September 2024, the weighted average cost of debt was 3.2% (2023: 3.3%). Investment and development opportunities are evaluated using a risk adjusted WACC in order to ensure long-term Shareholder value is created.", "dimensions": { "concept": "ifrs-full:DisclosureOfMarketRiskExplanatory", "language": "en", "entity": "scheme:2138007CEIRKZMNI2979", "period": "2023-10-01T00:00:00/2024-10-01T00:00:00" } }, "fact-435": { "value": "Fair values IFRS 13 sets out a three-tier hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities valued at fair value.

The investment valuations provided by Allsop LLP and CBRE Limited are based on the RICS Professional Valuation Standards, but include a number of unobservable inputs and other valuation assumptions and are detailed in Note 2. The fair value of swaps and caps were valued in-house by a specialised treasury management system, using a discounted cash flow model and market information. The fair value is derived from the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates obtained by means of the current yield curve appropriate for those instruments. As all significant inputs required to value the swaps and caps are observable, they all fall within Level 2. Interest rate swaps and caps are all classified as either current assets or current liabilities. The notional principal amount of the outstanding interest rate swap and cap contracts as at 30 September 2024 was \u00a3476.6m (2023: \u00a3427.4m). In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group has reviewed its interest rate hedges. In the absence of hedge accounting, movements in fair value are taken directly to the consolidated income statement. However, where cash flow hedges have been viewed as being effective, and have been designated as such, any gains or losses have been taken to the cash flow hedge reserve via other comprehensive income.

Pension costs Accounting policy i) Defined contribution pension scheme \u2013 Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognised as an expense in the income statement in the period to which they relate. ii) Defined benefit pension scheme \u2013 The Group currently contributes to a defined benefit pension scheme that was closed to new members and future accrual of benefits in 2003. The full deficit in the scheme was recognised in the statement of financial position as at 1 October 2004. An actuarial valuation of the scheme is carried out every three years. The cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each consolidated statement of financial position date by a qualified actuary, for the purpose of determining the amounts to be reflected in the Group\u2019s financial statements under IAS 19. The defined benefit obligation is valued by projecting the best estimate of future benefit outgoings (allowing for future salary increases for active members, revaluation to retirement for deferred members and annual pension increases for all members) and then discounting to the consolidated statement of financial position date. The pension scheme assets comprise investments in bonds and cash, managed by Rathbones Investment Management Limited and insurance policies managed by Friends Life. These assets are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. The amount shown in the statement of financial position is the net of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of the scheme assets. When there is a surplus the Group considers the requirements of IFRIC 14 and whether there is economic benefit available as a refund of this surplus, or through a reduction in future contributions. When an unconditional right to future economic benefit exists, there is no restriction on the amount of surplus recognised. There are no current or past service costs as the scheme is closed to new members and future accrual. The net interest amount, calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability, is reflected in the income statement each year. Actuarial gains and losses net of deferred income tax are reflected in other comprehensive income each year. (a) Defined contribution scheme The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Group in independently administered funds. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. Pension arrangements for Directors are disclosed in the report of the Remuneration Committee and the Directors\u2019 Remuneration report on pages 91 to 109. The pension cost charge in these financial statements represents contributions payable by the Group. The charge of \u00a31.7m (2023: \u00a31.5m) is included within employee remuneration in Note 10.
(b) Defined benefit scheme
In addition to the above, the Group also operates a final salary defined benefit pension scheme, the BPT Retirement Benefits
Scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately in funds administered by Trustees and are invested with Rathbones
Investment Management Limited, an independent investment manager. Pension benefits are linked to the members\u2019 final
pensionable salaries and service at their retirement date (or date of leaving if earlier). The Trustees are responsible for running the
scheme in accordance with the scheme\u2019s trust deed and rules, which sets out their powers. The Trustees of the scheme are required
to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries of the scheme. There is a requirement that at least one-third of the Trustees are
nominated by the members of the scheme.
There are three categories of pension scheme members:
\u2022 Active members: currently employed by the Group. No benefits have accrued since 30 June 2003, although active members
retain a final salary link.
\u2022 Deferred members: former employees of the Group.
\u2022 Pensioner members: in receipt of pension.
The defined benefit obligation is valued by projecting the best estimate of future benefit payments (allowing for future salary
increases for active members, revaluation to retirement for deferred members and annual pension increases for all members) and
then discounting to the statement of financial position date. In the period up to retirement, benefits receive increases linked to
Consumer Prices Index (\u2018CPI\u2019) inflation (subject to a cap of no more than 5% p.a.). After retirement, benefits receive fixed increases of
5% p.a. The valuation method used is known as the Projected Unit Credit Method. The approximate overall duration of the scheme\u2019s
defined benefit obligation as at 30 September 2024 was 13 years.
The IAS 19 calculations for disclosure purposes have been based upon the results of the actuarial valuation carried out as at 1 July
2022, updated to 30 September 2024, by a qualified independent actuary.

Risks
During 2024 the Trustees have worked to de-risk the scheme from risks including changes in bond yields, asset volatility, credit
risk, inflation risk, and changes in life expectancy. To do so the Trustees have used scheme assets previously invested in bonds to
purchase an annuity policy that fully matches all previously uninsured liabilities.
Going forwards, 100% of scheme liabilities are matched by the scheme\u2019s annuity policies and future fluctuations in the value of
those liabilities will be offset by the policies held as scheme assets. This arrangement is known as a pension buy-in.

The loss shown in the above table of \u00a33.1m (2023: \u00a31.1m) has been included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income on page 124.
The surplus is recognised because the Group considers there is economic benefit available through a reduction in future
contributions or the eventual return of the surplus.
Future funding obligation
The Trustees are required to carry out an actuarial valuation every three years. The last actuarial valuation of the scheme was
performed by the Actuary for the Trustees as at 1 July 2022. This valuation revealed a funding shortfall of \u00a3nil and as a result of this
valuation, the Group agreed to cease the existing recovery plan and pay no additional contributions.

Set out below is an analysis of how the scheme deficit would vary with changes to the key actuarial assumptions:
Discount rate movement of 0.25% p.a. Increase/(decrease) in deficit of \u00a30.6m/(\u00a30.6m)

(a) Defined contribution scheme
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately
from those of the Group in independently administered funds. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further
contributions if the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the
current and prior periods. Pension arrangements for Directors are disclosed in the report of the Remuneration Committee and the
Directors\u2019 Remuneration report on pages 91 to 109. The pension cost charge in these financial statements represents contributions
payable by the Group.
The charge of \u00a31.7m (2023: \u00a31.5m) is included within employee remuneration in Note 10.

The assets of the scheme are held separately in funds administered by Trustees and are invested with Rathbones Investment Management Limited, an independent investment manager. Pension benefits are linked to the members\u2019 final pensionable salaries and service at their retirement date (or date of leaving if earlier). The Trustees are responsible for running the scheme in accordance with the scheme\u2019s trust deed and rules, which sets out their powers. The Trustees of the scheme are required to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries of the scheme. There is a requirement that at least one-third of the Trustees are nominated by the members of the scheme. There are three categories of pension scheme members: \u2022 Active members: currently employed by the Group. No benefits have accrued since 30 June 2003, although active members retain a final salary link. \u2022 Deferred members: former employees of the Group. \u2022 Pensioner members: in receipt of pension. The defined benefit obligation is valued by projecting the best estimate of future benefit payments (allowing for future salary increases for active members, revaluation to retirement for deferred members and annual pension increases for all members) and then discounting to the statement of financial position date. In the period up to retirement, benefits receive increases linked to Consumer Prices Index (\u2018CPI\u2019) inflation (subject to a cap of no more than 5% p.a.). After retirement, benefits receive fixed increases of 5% p.a. The valuation method used is known as the Projected Unit Credit Method. The approximate overall duration of the scheme\u2019s defined benefit obligation as at 30 September 2024 was 13 years. The IAS 19 calculations for disclosure purposes have been based upon the results of the actuarial valuation carried out as at 1 July 2022, updated to 30 September 2024, by a qualified independent actuary. i) Principal actuarial assumptions under IAS 19 (p.a.)

Risks During 2024 the Trustees have worked to de-risk the scheme from risks including changes in bond yields, asset volatility, credit risk, inflation risk, and changes in life expectancy. To do so the Trustees have used scheme assets previously invested in bonds to purchase an annuity policy that fully matches all previously uninsured liabilities. Going forwards, 100% of scheme liabilities are matched by the scheme\u2019s annuity policies and future fluctuations in the value of those liabilities will be offset by the policies held as scheme assets. This arrangement is known as a pension buy-in. Market value of scheme assets The assets of the scheme are invested in a diversified portfolio as follows:

The loss shown in the above table of \u00a33.1m (2023: \u00a31.1m) has been included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on page 124. The surplus is recognised because the Group considers there is economic benefit available through a reduction in future contributions or the eventual return of the surplus. Future funding obligation The Trustees are required to carry out an actuarial valuation every three years. The last actuarial valuation of the scheme was performed by the Actuary for the Trustees as at 1 July 2022. This valuation revealed a funding shortfall of \u00a3nil and as a result of this valuation, the Group agreed to cease the existing recovery plan and pay no additional contributions.

31. Changes in equity
The consolidated statement of changes in equity is shown on page 125. Further information relating to reserves is provided below.
Movements on the retained earnings reserve are set out in Note 32.
(a) Merger reserve
The merger reserve arose when the Company issued shares in partial consideration for the acquisition of City North Group plc in the
year ended 30 September 2005. The issue satisfied the provisions of Section 612 of the Companies Act 2006 (formerly Section 131
of the Companies Act 1985) and the premium relating to the shares issued was credited to a merger reserve.
(b) Cash flow hedge reserve
The fair value movements on those derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 are taken to this
reserve net of tax.
32. Movement in retained earnings
The retained earnings reserve comprises various elements, including:
Treasury shares bought back and cancelled
Included within retained earnings at 30 September 2024 is a balance of \u00a37.8m (2023: \u00a37.8m) relating to treasury shares bought back
and cancelled.
Investment in own shares
Included within retained earnings at 30 September 2024 is a balance of \u00a30.6m (2023: \u00a34.8m) relating to investments in own shares.

Share-based payments Accounting policy The Group operates a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans comprising awards under a Long-Term Incentive Plan (\u2018LTIP\u2019), a Deferred Bonus Plan (\u2018DBP\u2019), a Share Incentive Plan (\u2018SIP\u2019) and a Save As You Earn (\u2018SAYE\u2019) scheme. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of shares and options is recognised as an employee expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares and options granted. For market-based conditions, the probability of vesting is taken into account in the fair value calculation and no revision is made to the number of shares or options expected to vest. For non-market conditions, each year the Group revises its estimate of the number of options or shares that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the consolidated income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Awards that are subject to a market-based performance condition are valued at fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation model. Awards not subject to a market-based performance condition are valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. When options are exercised the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium.

(a) LTIP scheme
For the LTIP awards granted in or after December 2023, the LTIP performance period is the three financial years commencing at
the beginning of the financial year in which the grant date fell (i.e the three year period up to 30 September 2026). Of these, 30%
are subject to an absolute Total Shareholder Return performance condition measured over the period, 30% are subject to annual
growth in Total Property Income Return measured over the period, 30% are subject to achieving Secured PRS Investment targets
measured over the period, and the final 10% are subject to achieving carbon emissions performance conditions measured over
the period.
For the awards granted in or after December 2022, the LTIP performance period is the three financial years commencing at the
beginning of the financial year in which the grant date fell (i.e the three year period up to 30 September 2025). Of these LTIP awards,
33% of the awards under the LTIP scheme are subject to an absolute Total Shareholder Return performance condition measured
over the period, 33% are subject to annual growth in Total Property Income Return measured over the period, and the final 33% are
subject to achieving Secured PRS Investment targets measured over the period.
For the awards granted in or after December 2021, the LTIP performance period was the three financial years commencing at the
beginning of the financial year in which the grant date fell (i.e the three year period up to 30 September 2024). Of these LTIP awards,
33% of the awards under the LTIP scheme were subject to an absolute Total Shareholder Return performance condition measured

1. The grant of LTIP awards on 11 October 2021 was made to Rob Hudson as replacement of awards made by his previous employer. The fair value of these awards is based on the assumptions
relating to previous LTIP awards. See Note 8 of the remuneration report on page 97 of the prior year Annual Report and Accounts for further details.
(b) DBP scheme
Awards granted under the DBSP relate to the compulsory deferral of 25% of any bonus paid to Executive Directors as described in
the Remuneration Committee report. Shares granted in this scheme have no further performance conditions other than continued
employment. There is a three-year vesting period from the date of grant, after which time participants can choose to exercise
their awards.
Awards granted under the DBP scheme have no specific performance conditions other than employees in the scheme continuing
to be employed. There is a three-year vesting period from the date of grant. One-third of the awards vest at the end of each year.
Participants can choose to exercise their awards on vesting or to retain their awards within the plan until the end of the third year at
which point a 50% matching element is added to their award entitlement.
In addition to the DBP scheme, an enhanced DBP scheme (\u2018EDBP\u2019) is also provided. The enhanced scheme operates in exactly the
same way as the normal DBP scheme except that if participants retain their awards within the plan until the end of the fifth year, a
further additional 50% matching award is added to their award entitlement. Awards under the DBP/EDBP have been valued based
on the share price at the date of the award less the dividend yield at the award date as there is no entitlement to dividends during
the vesting period.
The movement in DBP/EDBP awards during the year is as follows:

The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of shares and options is recognised as an employee expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares and options granted. For market-based conditions, the probability of vesting is taken into account in the fair value calculation and no revision is made to the number of shares or options expected to vest. For non-market conditions, each year the Group revises its estimate of the number of options or shares that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the consolidated income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

There are no contingent rents recognised within net rental income in 2024 or 2023 relating to properties where the Group acts as a lessor of assets under operating leases. The Group\u2019s non-cancellable operating leases exclude regulated tenancies. Under these agreements, tenants have the right to remain in a property for the remainder of their lives. Should the tenant require the lease to be cancelled for any reason, they are able to do so generally with immediate effect, in which case we take vacant possession for subsequent disposal of the property. As such, regulated tenancies are excluded from the above analysis.
