2. Accounting policies
Basis of accounting and preparation
The consolidated financial statements of Whitbread PLC and all its subsidiaries have
been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards in conformity
with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and UK-adopted International
Accounting Standards.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis,
except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of each
reporting period, assets classified as held for sale and the defined benefit pension scheme
as explained in the accounting policies below.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in pounds sterling and all values are rounded
to the nearest hundred thousand except when otherwise indicated. The financial year represents
the 52 weeks to 27 February 2025 (prior financial year: 52 weeks to 29 February 2024).
Going concern
A combination of the strong cash flows generated by the business and the sufficient
available headroom on its credit facilities supports the directors\u2019 view that the Group
has sufficient funds available to meet its foreseeable working capital requirements. At the
balance sheet date, these credit facilities include both the newly issued \u00a3400m notes and
the \u00a3450m notes maturing in October 2025. In reaching this conclusion, the directors
have considered all elements of the capital allocation framework. The directors have also
determined that, over the period of the going concern assessment, there is not expected
to be a significant impact as a result of climate change.
The directors have therefore concluded that the going concern basis of preparation
remains appropriate.
Changes in accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial
statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 29 February 2024, except for the adoption of the
new standards and policies applicable for the year ended 27 February 2025. The significant
accounting policies adopted during the year are set out below. They have been assessed
as not having a material financial impact.
The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing 1 March 2024: \u2022 Amendments to IAS 1 \u2013 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024) \u2022 Amendments to IAS 1 \u2013 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024) \u2022 Amendments to IFRS 16 \u2013 Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024) \u2022 Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 \u2013 Supplier Finance Arrangements (effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024) Standards issued by the IASB not effective for the current year and not early adopted by the Group Whilst the following standards and amendments are relevant to the Group, they have been assessed as not having a material impact nor additional disclosure requirements at this time: \u2022 Amendments to IAS 21 \u2013 Lack of Exchangeability (effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025) \u2022 Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 \u2013 Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026) \u2022 Annual improvements to IFRS \u2013 volume 11 (effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026) \u2022 IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027) The impact of the following is under assessment \u2013 IFRS 18 \u2018Presentation and disclosures in financial statements\u2019, which will become effective in the consolidated Group financial statements for the financial year end 26 February 2028, subject to UK endorsement. The Group does not intend to early adopt any of these new standards or amendment. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of Whitbread PLC and all its subsidiaries, together with the Group\u2019s share of the net assets and results of joint ventures incorporated using the equity method of accounting. These are adjusted, where appropriate, to conform to Group accounting policies. The financial statements of significant trading subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group. Control is achieved when the Company: \u2022 has power over the investee; \u2022 is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and \u2022 has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. Apart from the acquisition of Whitbread Group PLC by Whitbread PLC in 2000/01, which was accounted for using merger accounting, acquisitions by the Group are accounted for under the acquisition method and any goodwill arising is capitalised as an intangible asset. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from, or up to, the date that control passes respectively. All intra-Group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Business combinations Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and any equity interest issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement as incurred. When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes contingent consideration, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the \u2018measurement period\u2019 (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration at subsequent reporting dates that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are recognised within finance costs in the consolidated income statement, unless the contingent consideration is classified as equity. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date. Goodwill Goodwill arising on acquisition is capitalised and represents the excess of the fair value of consideration over the value of the Group\u2019s interest in the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary, at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortised but reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. Intangible assets Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are carried initially at cost. An intangible asset acquired as part of a business combination is recognised at fair value, separately from goodwill if the asset is separable, or arises from contractual or other legal rights, and its fair value can be measured reliably. Amortisation of IT software and technology is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated life which varies between three and ten years. The carrying values are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. Software as a Service (SaaS) arrangements SaaS arrangements are service contracts providing the Company with the right to access the cloud provider\u2019s application software over the contract period. Costs incurred to configure or customise, and the ongoing fees to obtain access to the cloud provider\u2019s application software, are recognised as operating expenses when the services are received. Some of these costs incurred are for the development of software code that enhances or modifies, or creates additional capability to, existing on-premise systems and meets the definition of and recognition criteria for an intangible asset. These costs are recognised as intangible software assets and amortised over the useful life of the software on a straight-line basis. The useful lives of these assets are reviewed at least at the end of each financial year, and any change accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment acquired separately from a business are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment. Gross interest costs incurred on the financing of
qualifying assets are capitalised until the time that the assets are available for use. Property,
plant and equipment acquired as part of a business combination are recognised at fair value.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset
as follows:
\u2022 freehold land is not depreciated;
\u2022 freehold and long leasehold buildings are depreciated to their estimated residual values
over periods up to 50 years; and
\u2022 plant and equipment is depreciated over 3 to 25 years.
The residual values and estimated useful lives are reviewed annually.
Profits or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment reflect the difference
between net selling price and carrying amount at the date of disposal and are recognised
in the consolidated income statement.
Leases
Right-of-use assets
A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, these assets are called
right-of-use assets. The Group recognises right-of-use assets for hotel and restaurant
properties along with other equipment at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the
date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost,
less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement
of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities
recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the
commencement date, less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably
certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised
right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of its estimated useful life and lease term.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured
at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments
include fixed payments and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate less
any lease incentives receivable. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or
a rate (e.g. turnover rent) are recognised as an expense in the period over which the event
or condition that triggers the payment occurs. The Group incurs service charges on property
leases which are non-lease components of the contract under IFRS 16 and therefore these
charges are recorded separately within operating costs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Incremental borrowing rates are determined quarterly and depend on the country, currency and start date of the lease. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on a series of inputs including: the risk-free rate based on government bond rates; a country-specific risk adjustment; and a credit risk adjustment based on the Group\u2019s credit rating. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect lease interest charges and reduced for lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification or a change in the lease term. Cash outflows relating to lease interest are recorded within net cash flows from operating activities and cash outflows relating to principal repayments are included within net cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated cash flow statement. Sale and leaseback A sale and leaseback transaction occurs when the Group sells an asset and immediately reacquires the use of the same asset in the same state as sold by entering into a lease with the buyer. A sale occurs when control of the underlying asset passes to the buyer. A lease liability is recognised, the associated property, plant and equipment asset is derecognised, and a right-of-use asset is recognised at the proportion of the carrying value relating to the right retained. Any gain or loss arising therefore relates to the rights transferred to the buyer and development of the underlying asset. Impairment of non-current assets Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets The carrying values of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Individual assets are grouped into cash generating units (CGUs), for impairment purposes, at the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) and value in use (VIU). For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined with reference to the CGU to which the asset belongs. In estimating value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. To estimate fair value less costs of disposal, the Group uses a number of techniques including third-party valuations, market multiple approaches and discounted cash flows.
Impairment charges
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds
its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and
then to reduce the carrying amounts of other assets in the CGU, on a pro rata basis.
Any impairment in the values of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
is charged to the consolidated income statement within operating costs.
Impairment reversals
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that
previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased.
If such an indication exists, the CGU\u2019s recoverable amount is estimated. A previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimated
future cash flows used to determine the asset\u2019s recoverable amount since the last impairment
loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its
recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset in prior years.
Such a reversal is recognised in the consolidated income statement. After such a reversal,
the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset\u2019s carrying
amount, less any residual value, on a straight-line basis over its remaining useful life.
Central assets
For the purposes of impairment testing, all centrally held assets are allocated in line
with IAS 36 to CGUs based on management\u2019s view of the consumption of the asset.
Any resulting impairment is recorded against the centrally held asset.
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired through business combinations is allocated to groups of CGUs at the
level management monitors goodwill, which is at an operating segment level. The Group
performs an annual review of its goodwill to ensure that its carrying amount is not greater
than its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined as the greater of fair
value, less costs of disposal and value in use. An impairment is then made to reduce the
carrying amount to the recoverable amount.
Investments in joint ventures The Group assesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is compared with its recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the investment is written down to its recoverable amount. Assets held for sale Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale only if available for immediate sale in their present condition and a sale is highly probable and expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification. Such assets are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value, less the cost of disposal, and are not depreciated or amortised. In accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the net results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the consolidated income statement. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated on the basis of first in, first out and net realisable value is the estimated selling price less any costs to sell. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are discounted to present value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The amortisation of the discount is recognised as a finance cost. Onerous contracts Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Group has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. Restructuring costs A restructuring provision is recognised when the Group has developed a detailed formal plan and has raised a valid expectation, in those affected, that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. The measurement of a restructuring provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring which are those amounts that are both necessarily entailed by the restructuring and not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity. Adjusting items and use of alternative performance measures We use a range of measures to monitor the financial performance of the Group. These measures include both statutory measures in accordance with IFRS and alternative performance measures (APMs) which are consistent with the way the business performance is measured internally by the Board and Executive Committee. A glossary of APMs and reconciliations to statutory measures is given on pages 232 to 238. The term \u2018adjusted profit\u2019 is not defined under IFRS and may not be directly comparable with adjusted profit measures used by other companies. It is not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, statutory measures of profit. Adjusted measures of profitability are non-IFRS because they exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. The Group makes certain adjustments to the statutory profit measures in order to derive many of its APMs. The Group\u2019s policy is to exclude items that are considered to be significant in nature and quantum, not in the normal course of business or are consistent with items that were treated as adjusting in prior periods or that span multiple financial periods. Treatment as an adjusting item provides users of the accounts with additional useful information to assess the year-on-year trading performance of the Group. On this basis, the following are examples of items that may be classified as adjusting items: \u2022 net charges associated with the strategic review of the Group\u2019s hotel and restaurant property estate; \u2022 significant restructuring costs and other associated costs arising from strategy changes that are not considered by the Group to be part of the normal operating costs of the business; \u2022 significant pension charges arising as a result of the changes to UK defined benefit scheme practices; \u2022 net impairment and related charges for sites which are/were underperforming that are considered to be significant in nature and/or value to the trading performance of the business; \u2022 costs in relation to non-trading legacy sites which are deemed to be significant and not reflective of the Group\u2019s ongoing trading results; \u2022 transformation and change costs associated with the implementation of the Group\u2019s IT strategic programme; \u2022 profit or loss on the sale of a business or investment, and the associated cost impact on the continuing business from the sale of the business or investment; \u2022 acquisition costs incurred as part of a business combination or other strategic asset acquisitions; \u2022 amortisation of intangible assets recognised as part of a business combination or other transaction outside of the ordinary course of business; and \u2022 tax settlements in respect of prior years, including the related interest and the impact of changes in the statutory tax rate, the inclusion of which would distort year-on-year comparability, as well as the tax impact of the adjusting items identified above. The Group income statement is presented in a columnar format to enable users of the accounts to see the Group\u2019s performance before adjusting items, the adjusting items, and the statutory total on a line-by-line basis. The directors believe that the adjusted profit and earnings per share measures provide additional useful information to shareholders on the performance of the business. These measures are consistent with how business performance is measured internally by the Board and Executive Committee. Foreign currency translation Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency at the rates of exchange quoted at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Day-to-day transactions in a foreign currency are recorded in the functional currency at an average rate for the month in which those transactions take place, which is used as a reasonable approximation to the actual transaction rate. Translation differences on monetary items are taken to the consolidated income statement. A number of subsidiaries within the Group have a non-sterling functional currency. The financial performance and end position of these entities are translated into sterling in the consolidated financial statements. Balance sheet items are translated at the rate applicable at the balance sheet date. Transactions reported in the consolidated income statement are translated using an average rate for the month in which they occur. The differences that arise from translating the results of foreign entities at average rates of exchange, and their assets and liabilities at closing rates, are dealt with in a separate component of equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the consolidated income statement. All other currency gains and losses are dealt with in the income statement.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group
expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
Consideration is net of discounts, allowances for customer loyalty and other promotional
activities and amounts collected on behalf of other parties, such as value added tax.
Revenue includes duties which the Group pays as principal.
The Group has analysed its business activities and applied the five-step model prescribed
by IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to each material line of business,
as outlined below:
Sale of accommodation
The contract to provide accommodation is established when the customer books accommodation.
The performance obligation is to provide the right to use accommodation for a given
number of nights, and the transaction price is the room rate for each night determined at
the time of booking. The performance obligation is met when the customer is given the
right to use the accommodation, and so revenue is recognised for each night as it takes
place, at the room rate for that night.
Sale of food and beverage
The contract is established when the customer orders the food or beverage item
and the performance obligation is the provision of food and beverage by the outlet.
The performance obligation is satisfied when the food and beverage are delivered to
the customer, and revenue is recognised at this point at the price for the items purchased.
Where payment is made on the same day there are no contract assets or liabilities.
Payment terms
Customers may pay in advance for accommodation, food and beverage. In this case the
Group has received consideration for services not yet provided. This is treated as a contract
liability, net of VAT, until the performance obligation is met. The Group has taken advantage
of the practical expedient in IFRS 15 to not adjust the consideration for the effects of a
financing component as the period between payment and the performance obligation
is less than one year.
Payment terms for corporate customers are generally 30 days with amounts recorded
in trade and other receivables once the performance obligations have been met.
Contract costs
The Group applies the practical expedient in paragraph 94 of IFRS 15 and consequently
contract costs incurred related to contracts with an amortisation period of less than one
year have been expensed as incurred.
Variable consideration
The Group makes an estimate, based on historical information, of amounts that will be
refunded to customers. The refund liability represents variable consideration under IFRS 15
with revenue recognised reduced by this amount and a corresponding liability recognised
in other payables in the consolidated balance sheet.
Certain restaurants within the Group offer customer loyalty programmes where the
customer can earn vouchers for historic purchases which are redeemable as discounts
on future purchases. The loyalty points issued by the Group are a separate performance
obligation providing a material right to a future discount. The sales price of goods is
allocated to the loyalty points and the goods sold based on their relative standalone selling
prices, with the loyalty points, standalone price based on the value of the points to the
customer, adjusted for expected redemption rates. The amount allocated to loyalty points
is deferred as a contract liability within trade and other payables. Revenue is recognised
as the points are redeemed by the customer.
Finance income
Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues, using the effective interest method.
Finance costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred,
except for gross interest costs incurred on the financing of major projects, which are
capitalised until the time that the projects are available for use.
Retirement benefits
In respect of the defined benefit pension scheme, the surplus recognised in the
consolidated balance sheet represents the fair value of scheme assets, reduced by the
present value of the defined benefit obligation. Where the calculation results in a surplus
to the Group, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of any future available
refunds from the plan.
The cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial
valuation method. Remeasurements are recognised in full in the period in which they occur
in the statement of comprehensive income and are not reclassified to the consolidated
income statement in subsequent periods.
For defined benefit plans, the employer\u2019s portion of the past and current service cost
is charged to operating profit, with net interest costs reported within finance costs. In addition,
all administration costs, other than those relating to the management of plan assets or
taxes payable by the plan itself, are charged as incurred to operating costs in the consolidated
income statement. Net interest is calculated by applying the opening discount rate to the
opening net defined benefit obligation, taking into account the expected contributions
and benefits paid.
Curtailments and settlements relating to the Group\u2019s defined benefit plan are recognised
in the period in which the curtailment or settlement occurs.
Payments to defined contribution pension schemes are charged as an expense as they
fall due.
Share-based payment transactions
Equity-settled transactions
Certain employees and directors of the Group receive equity-settled remuneration in
the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in
exchange for shares or rights over shares. The cost of these equity-settled transactions is
measured by reference to the fair value, determined using a stochastic model, at the date
at which they are granted. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together
with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions
or non-vesting conditions are fulfilled, ending on the relevant vesting date. Except for awards
subject to market-related conditions for vesting, the cumulative expense recognised for
equity-settled transactions, at each reporting date until the vesting date, reflects the
extent to which the vesting period has expired, and is adjusted to reflect the directors\u2019 best
available estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The income
statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense
recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. If options are subject to market-related
conditions, awards are not cumulatively adjusted for the likelihood of these targets being met.
Instead, these conditions are included in the fair value of the awards.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of
cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately.
Where an equity-settled award is forfeited, the related expense recognised to date is reversed.
Where an equity-settled award is replaced by newly granted instruments, these are
accounted for as a modification of the existing award. When the terms of an equity-settled
award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the grant date fair value of the
unmodified award, provided the original vesting terms of the award are met. An additional
expense, measured as at the date of modification, is recognised for any modification that
increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise
beneficial to the employee.
Tax
The income tax charge represents both the income tax payable, based on profit for the
year, and deferred income tax.
Deferred income tax is recognised in full, using the liability method, in respect of temporary
differences between the tax base of the Group\u2019s assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts that have originated but have not been reversed by the balance sheet date.
No deferred tax is recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition
of goodwill, or the initial recognition of an asset or liability, in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting
profit nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is recognised in respect of taxable
temporary differences associated with investments in joint ventures, except where the
timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable
that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences or unused tax
losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at
each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all, or part of, the deferred income
tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected
to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates
that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income tax is charged or credited to other comprehensive income if it relates to items that
are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Similarly, income tax is charged
or credited directly to equity if it relates to items that are charged or credited directly
to equity. Otherwise, income tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Investments in joint ventures
Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures
depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. The Group has
assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures.
The Group\u2019s investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture is initially recognised at cost.
The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group\u2019s
share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to joint
ventures is included in the carrying amount of the investment.
The consolidated income statement reflects the Group\u2019s share of the results of operations
of the joint ventures. Any change in other comprehensive income of those investees
is presented as part of the Group\u2019s consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the joint
ventures are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture. When necessary,
adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.
Financial assets Trade receivables and contract assets Trade receivables and contract assets are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently they are measured at amortised cost as the objective of the business model is to hold the assets to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the asset give rise to cash flows on specified dates which are solely payments of principal and interest. In line with the IFRS 9 Financial Instruments \u2018simplified approach\u2019, the Group segments its trade receivables and contract assets based on shared characteristics and recognises a loss allowance for the lifetime expected credit loss for each segment. The expected credit loss is based on the Group\u2019s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of the current and forecast conditions at the reporting date. Credit impaired financial assets A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred, such as significant financial difficulty of the debtor or default by the debtor. The Group writes off a financial asset where there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Credit losses are recorded within operating costs in the consolidated income statement. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, cash in hand and deposits (including Money Market Funds) which are short term, highly liquid and which are not at significant risk of changes in value. Recognition and derecognition The recognition of financial assets occurs when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. Derivatives and hedging The Group enters into derivative transactions to manage its exposure to interest rate, foreign exchange rate and power commodity price risks. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value on the date the contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial asset, whereas a derivative
with a negative fair value is recognised as a financial liability. Derivatives are not offset in
the financial statements unless the Group has both the legal right and intention to offset.
A derivative is presented as a non-current asset or a non-current liability if the remaining
maturity of the instrument is more than 12 months and is not expected to be realised or
settled within 12 months. Other derivatives are presented as current assets or current liabilities.
The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of interest rate,
foreign currency and power commodity price risks as either fair value hedges or cash flow
hedges. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash
flow hedges.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between
the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives
and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group documents whether
the hedging instrument is effective in offsetting the hedged risk, by confirming that:
\u2022 there is an economic relationship between hedged items and the hedging instrument;
\u2022 the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that
economic relationship; and
\u2022 the planned ratio of hedge: hedge item is the same as the actual ratio of hedge:
hedge item.
The fair value change on qualifying fair value hedges is recognised in profit or loss.
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as
cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under
the cash flow hedging reserve. Any gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion of the
hedge is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Amounts previously recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the
periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognised
hedged item.
The Group discontinues hedge accounting when the hedge relationship ceases to meet the
qualifying criteria, or when the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised.
Hedges of a net investment
Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, including a hedge of a monetary item
that is accounted for as part of the net investment, are accounted for in a way similar
to cash flow hedges. Gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective
portion of the hedge are recognised in other comprehensive income while any gains or
losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
On disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative value of any such gains or losses
recorded in equity is transferred to the statement of profit or loss.
The Group uses a cross-currency swap as a hedge of its exposure to foreign exchange risk
on its investments in foreign subsidiaries. Refer to Note 25 for more details.
Financial liabilities
Debt and equity instruments are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance
with the substance of the contractual arrangements.
Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method
unless they are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss or the Group
has opted to measure them at fair value through the profit or loss. The effective interest
rate method calculates the amortised cost of a financial liability and allocates interest
expense to the relevant period.
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of any
directly associated issue costs. Borrowings are subsequently recorded at amortised cost,
with any difference between the amount initially recorded and the redemption value
recognised in the consolidated income statement using the effective interest method.
Recognition and derecognition
The recognition of liabilities occurs when the Group becomes party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument.
The derecognition of financial liabilities occurs when the obligation under the liability
is discharged, cancelled or expires. When the Group exchanges with the existing lender
one debt instrument into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange
is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition
of a new financial liability.
Share buy-back transactions
Shares purchased for cancellation are deducted from retained earnings. The Group uses
irrevocable closed period buy-back programmes. A liability to purchase shares is recognised
at inception of the programme with any subsequent reduction in the obligation credited
back to retained earnings at the end of the programme. Share capital is reduced and
credited to the capital redemption reserve once shares are cancelled, maintaining
non-distributable reserves.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as assets and liabilities at
the balance sheet date and the amounts reported as revenues and expenses during the
year. Although these amounts are based on management\u2019s best estimates, events or
actions may mean that actual results ultimately differ from those estimates, and these
differences may be material. These judgements and estimates and the underlying
assumptions are reviewed regularly.
The Group has considered the impact of climate-related risks on its financial performance
and position, and although the impact represents an uncertainty, it is not considered to
be material.
Critical accounting judgements
The following are the critical accounting judgements, apart from those involving
estimations (dealt with separately below) that management has made in the process
of applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies and which have the most significant effect
on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Adjusting items
During the year certain items are identified and separately disclosed as adjusting items.
Judgement is applied as to whether the item meets the necessary criteria as per the
accounting policy disclosed earlier in this Note. This assessment covers the nature of the
item, cause of occurrence and the scale of impact of that item on reported performance.
Reversals of previous adjusting items are assessed based on the same criteria. Note 6
provides information on all of the items disclosed as adjusting in the current year and
comparative financial statements.
Assets held for sale
As per the accounting policy above assets are classified as held for sale only if the asset
is available for immediate sale in its present condition and a sale is highly probable
and expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification.
As a result of the Group\u2019s Accelerating Growth Plan (AGP) the Group is actively marketing
a significant number of sites. Judgement exists on a site-by-site basis as to whether the
sale will complete within one year. In exercising its judgement management has taken
into consideration all available information including external market expert advice.
Recognition of German deferred tax asset
The Group, through its market entry in Germany, has generated tax losses that will be
available for offset against future taxable profits. These losses have resulted in a material
unrecognised deferred tax asset of \u00a380.9m (unrecognised tax losses carried forward of
\u00a3253.6m) at this balance sheet date. If the Group were to fully recognise the deferred tax
asset in this financial year it would have the effect of reducing the Group\u2019s effective tax rate
from 31.0% to 9.0%.
The German reportable segment\u2019s results have continued to improve, with this forecast
to continue in future reporting periods. However, the forecasts used to support whether
sufficient positive evidence exists to recognise the deferred tax asset are instead based
on the German taxable profits profile. Following this assessment, the Group has judged
that at the balance sheet date there remains to be insufficient convincing other evidence,
as required under IAS 12, that it will have sufficient taxable profits to realise the above
deferred tax asset at this time.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key areas of estimation uncertainty that may have a significant risk
of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within
the next financial year.
Defined benefit pension
Defined benefit pension plans are accounted for in accordance with actuarial advice
using the projected unit credit method. The Group makes significant estimates in relation
to the discount rates, mortality rates and inflation rates used to calculate the present value
of the defined benefit obligation. Note 32 describes the assumptions used together with
an analysis of the sensitivity to changes in key assumptions.
Impairment testing \u2013 Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
The performance of the Group\u2019s impairment review requires management to make a
number of judgements and estimates which are presented together below for ease of
understanding but identified separately:
Estimates within impairment testing:
Inputs used to estimate value in use
The estimate of value in use is most sensitive to the following inputs:
\u2022 Forecast period cash flows \u2013 the initial five-year period\u2019s cash flows are drawn from
the five-year business plan.
\u2022 Discount rate \u2013 judgement is required in estimating the weighted average cost of
capital (WACC) of a typical market participant and in assessing the specific country
and currency risks associated with the Group. The rate used is adjusted for the Group\u2019s
gearing, including equity, borrowings and lease liabilities.
\u2022 Maturity profile of individual sites \u2013 judgement is required to estimate the time taken
for sites to reach maturity and the sites\u2019 trading level once they are mature.
Methodology used to estimate fair value
Fair value is determined using a range of methods, including present value techniques
using assumptions consistent with the value in use calculations and market multiple
techniques using externally available data. For the purpose of assessing fair value for sites
the Group has sought expert valuations based on insight into local market specific factors.
Judgements within impairment testing:
Strategic impact on composition of CGUs
The Group has judged that where there is a commitment and expectation that part of a
trading site\u2019s value will be realised through sale, an impairment review should be completed
on the trading site as separate CGUs. This is due to the change in how the Group now
expects to receive cash flows from the trading site\u2019s assets which are largely independent.
Identification of indicators of impairment and reversal
The Group assesses each of its CGUs for indicators of impairment or reversal at the end
of each reporting period and, where there are indicators of impairment or reversal,
management performs an impairment assessment.
Key estimates and sensitivities for impairment of assets are disclosed in Note 14.

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of Whitbread PLC and all its
subsidiaries, together with the Group\u2019s share of the net assets and results of joint ventures
incorporated using the equity method of accounting. These are adjusted, where appropriate,
to conform to Group accounting policies. The financial statements of significant trading
subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group. Control is achieved when the Company:
\u2022 has power over the investee;
\u2022 is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
\u2022 has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances
indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
Apart from the acquisition of Whitbread Group PLC by Whitbread PLC in 2000/01, which
was accounted for using merger accounting, acquisitions by the Group are accounted for
under the acquisition method and any goodwill arising is capitalised as an intangible asset.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the
consolidated financial statements from, or up to, the date that control passes respectively.

Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration
transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the
sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred
by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and any equity interest issued by the
Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in
the consolidated income statement as incurred.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes
contingent consideration, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date
fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination.
Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period
adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill.
Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information
obtained during the \u2018measurement period\u2019 (which cannot exceed one year from the
acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration at subsequent reporting dates
that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are recognised within finance costs
in the consolidated income statement, unless the contingent consideration is classified
as equity.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting
period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the
items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted
during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised,
to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the
acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.
Goodwill Goodwill arising on acquisition is capitalised and represents the excess of the fair value of consideration over the value of the Group\u2019s interest in the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary, at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortised but reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

The Group recognises right-of-use assets for hotel and restaurant properties along with other equipment at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of its estimated useful life and lease term. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate less any lease incentives receivable. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate (e.g. turnover rent) are recognised as an expense in the period over which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. The Group incurs service charges on property leases which are non-lease components of the contract under IFRS 16 and therefore these charges are recorded separately within operating costs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental
borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease
is not readily determinable. Incremental borrowing rates are determined quarterly and
depend on the country, currency and start date of the lease. The incremental borrowing
rate is determined based on a series of inputs including: the risk-free rate based on
government bond rates; a country-specific risk adjustment; and a credit risk adjustment
based on the Group\u2019s credit rating.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect lease
interest charges and reduced for lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount
of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification or a change in the lease term.
Cash outflows relating to lease interest are recorded within net cash flows from operating
activities and cash outflows relating to principal repayments are included within net cash
flows from financing activities in the consolidated cash flow statement.
Sale and leaseback
A sale and leaseback transaction occurs when the Group sells an asset and immediately
reacquires the use of the same asset in the same state as sold by entering into a lease with
the buyer. A sale occurs when control of the underlying asset passes to the buyer. A lease
liability is recognised, the associated property, plant and equipment asset is derecognised,
and a right-of-use asset is recognised at the proportion of the carrying value relating to

Impairment of non-current assets
Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying
values may not be recoverable. Individual assets are grouped into cash generating units
(CGUs), for impairment purposes, at the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash
flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its fair value less costs of
disposal (FVLCD) and value in use (VIU). For an asset that does not generate largely
independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined with reference to the CGU
to which the asset belongs. In estimating value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. To estimate fair
value less costs of disposal, the Group uses a number of techniques including third-party
valuations, market multiple approaches and discounted cash flows.
Impairment charges An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amounts of other assets in the CGU, on a pro rata basis. Any impairment in the values of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets is charged to the consolidated income statement within operating costs. Impairment reversals An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the CGU\u2019s recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimated future cash flows used to determine the asset\u2019s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such a reversal is recognised in the consolidated income statement. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset\u2019s carrying amount, less any residual value, on a straight-line basis over its remaining useful life. Central assets For the purposes of impairment testing, all centrally held assets are allocated in line with IAS 36 to CGUs based on management\u2019s view of the consumption of the asset. Any resulting impairment is recorded against the centrally held asset. Goodwill Goodwill acquired through business combinations is allocated to groups of CGUs at the level management monitors goodwill, which is at an operating segment level. The Group performs an annual review of its goodwill to ensure that its carrying amount is not greater than its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined as the greater of fair value, less costs of disposal and value in use. An impairment is then made to reduce the carrying amount to the recoverable amount.
Investments in joint ventures
The Group assesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such
indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is compared
with its recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable
amount, the investment is written down to its recoverable amount.

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as
a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle
the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are discounted to present value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The amortisation of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.
Onerous contracts
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as
provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Group has a contract
under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed
the economic benefits expected to be received under it.
Restructuring costs A restructuring provision is recognised when the Group has developed a detailed formal plan and has raised a valid expectation, in those affected, that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it.

Adjusting items and use of alternative performance measures
We use a range of measures to monitor the financial performance of the Group. These
measures include both statutory measures in accordance with IFRS and alternative performance
measures (APMs) which are consistent with the way the business performance is measured
internally by the Board and Executive Committee. A glossary of APMs and reconciliations
to statutory measures is given on pages 232 to 238.
The term \u2018adjusted profit\u2019 is not defined under IFRS and may not be directly comparable
with adjusted profit measures used by other companies. It is not intended to be a substitute
for, or superior to, statutory measures of profit. Adjusted measures of profitability are
non-IFRS because they exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that
are excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in
accordance with IFRS.
The Group makes certain adjustments to the statutory profit measures in order to derive
many of its APMs. The Group\u2019s policy is to exclude items that are considered to be
significant in nature and quantum, not in the normal course of business or are consistent
with items that were treated as adjusting in prior periods or that span multiple financial
periods. Treatment as an adjusting item provides users of the accounts with additional
useful information to assess the year-on-year trading performance of the Group.
On this basis, the following are examples of items that may be classified as adjusting items:
\u2022 net charges associated with the strategic review of the Group\u2019s hotel and restaurant
property estate;
\u2022 significant restructuring costs and other associated costs arising from strategy
changes that are not considered by the Group to be part of the normal operating
costs of the business;
\u2022 significant pension charges arising as a result of the changes to UK defined benefit
scheme practices;
\u2022 net impairment and related charges for sites which are/were underperforming that
are considered to be significant in nature and/or value to the trading performance
of the business;
\u2022 costs in relation to non-trading legacy sites which are deemed to be significant and
not reflective of the Group\u2019s ongoing trading results;
\u2022 transformation and change costs associated with the implementation of the Group\u2019s IT
strategic programme;
\u2022 profit or loss on the sale of a business or investment, and the associated cost impact
on the continuing business from the sale of the business or investment;
\u2022 acquisition costs incurred as part of a business combination or other strategic
asset acquisitions;
\u2022 amortisation of intangible assets recognised as part of a business combination or other
transaction outside of the ordinary course of business; and
\u2022 tax settlements in respect of prior years, including the related interest and the impact
of changes in the statutory tax rate, the inclusion of which would distort year-on-year
comparability, as well as the tax impact of the adjusting items identified above.
The Group income statement is presented in a columnar format to enable users of the
accounts to see the Group\u2019s performance before adjusting items, the adjusting items,
and the statutory total on a line-by-line basis. The directors believe that the adjusted profit
and earnings per share measures provide additional useful information to shareholders on
the performance of the business. These measures are consistent with how business performance
is measured internally by the Board and Executive Committee.

Foreign currency translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into functional currency at the rates of exchange quoted at the balance sheet date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency
are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.
Day-to-day transactions in a foreign currency are recorded in the functional currency
at an average rate for the month in which those transactions take place, which is used
as a reasonable approximation to the actual transaction rate. Translation differences
on monetary items are taken to the consolidated income statement.
A number of subsidiaries within the Group have a non-sterling functional currency.
The financial performance and end position of these entities are translated into sterling
in the consolidated financial statements. Balance sheet items are translated at the rate
applicable at the balance sheet date. Transactions reported in the consolidated income
statement are translated using an average rate for the month in which they occur.
The differences that arise from translating the results of foreign entities at average rates
of exchange, and their assets and liabilities at closing rates, are dealt with in a separate
component of equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount
recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the
consolidated income statement. All other currency gains and losses are dealt with in
the income statement.

Consideration is net of discounts, allowances for customer loyalty and other promotional activities and amounts collected on behalf of other parties, such as value added tax. Revenue includes duties which the Group pays as principal. The Group has analysed its business activities and applied the five-step model prescribed by IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to each material line of business, as outlined below: Sale of accommodation The contract to provide accommodation is established when the customer books accommodation. The performance obligation is to provide the right to use accommodation for a given number of nights, and the transaction price is the room rate for each night determined at the time of booking. The performance obligation is met when the customer is given the right to use the accommodation, and so revenue is recognised for each night as it takes place, at the room rate for that night. Sale of food and beverage The contract is established when the customer orders the food or beverage item and the performance obligation is the provision of food and beverage by the outlet. The performance obligation is satisfied when the food and beverage are delivered to the customer, and revenue is recognised at this point at the price for the items purchased. Where payment is made on the same day there are no contract assets or liabilities. Payment terms Customers may pay in advance for accommodation, food and beverage. In this case the Group has received consideration for services not yet provided. This is treated as a contract liability, net of VAT, until the performance obligation is met. The Group has taken advantage of the practical expedient in IFRS 15 to not adjust the consideration for the effects of a financing component as the period between payment and the performance obligation is less than one year. Payment terms for corporate customers are generally 30 days with amounts recorded in trade and other receivables once the performance obligations have been met. Contract costs The Group applies the practical expedient in paragraph 94 of IFRS 15 and consequently contract costs incurred related to contracts with an amortisation period of less than one year have been expensed as incurred. Variable consideration The Group makes an estimate, based on historical information, of amounts that will be refunded to customers. The refund liability represents variable consideration under IFRS 15 with revenue recognised reduced by this amount and a corresponding liability recognised in other payables in the consolidated balance sheet. Certain restaurants within the Group offer customer loyalty programmes where the customer can earn vouchers for historic purchases which are redeemable as discounts on future purchases. The loyalty points issued by the Group are a separate performance obligation providing a material right to a future discount. The sales price of goods is allocated to the loyalty points and the goods sold based on their relative standalone selling prices, with the loyalty points, standalone price based on the value of the points to the customer, adjusted for expected redemption rates. The amount allocated to loyalty points is deferred as a contract liability within trade and other payables. Revenue is recognised as the points are redeemed by the customer.

Financial assets
Trade receivables and contract assets
Trade receivables and contract assets are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently they
are measured at amortised cost as the objective of the business model is to hold the assets
to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the asset give rise to cash
flows on specified dates which are solely payments of principal and interest.
In line with the IFRS 9 Financial Instruments \u2018simplified approach\u2019, the Group segments
its trade receivables and contract assets based on shared characteristics and recognises a
loss allowance for the lifetime expected credit loss for each segment. The expected credit
loss is based on the Group\u2019s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are
specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of the current
and forecast conditions at the reporting date.
Credit impaired financial assets
A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact
on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred, such as significant
financial difficulty of the debtor or default by the debtor. The Group writes off a financial
asset where there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Credit losses are recorded within
operating costs in the consolidated income statement.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, cash in hand and deposits (including
Money Market Funds) which are short term, highly liquid and which are not at significant
risk of changes in value.
Recognition and derecognition
The recognition of financial assets occurs when the Group becomes party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial asset only
when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers

Subsequently they are measured at amortised cost as the objective of the business model is to hold the assets to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the asset give rise to cash flows on specified dates which are solely payments of principal and interest. In line with the IFRS 9 Financial Instruments \u2018simplified approach\u2019, the Group segments its trade receivables and contract assets based on shared characteristics and recognises a loss allowance for the lifetime expected credit loss for each segment. The expected credit loss is based on the Group\u2019s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of the current and forecast conditions at the reporting date. Credit impaired financial assets A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred, such as significant financial difficulty of the debtor or default by the debtor. The Group writes off a financial asset where there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Credit losses are recorded within operating costs in the consolidated income statement. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, cash in hand and deposits (including Money Market Funds) which are short term, highly liquid and which are not at significant risk of changes in value. Recognition and derecognition The recognition of financial assets occurs when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. Derivatives and hedging The Group enters into derivative transactions to manage its exposure to interest rate, foreign exchange rate and power commodity price risks. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value on the date the contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial asset, whereas a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised as a financial liability. Derivatives are not offset in the financial statements unless the Group has both the legal right and intention to offset. A derivative is presented as a non-current asset or a non-current liability if the remaining maturity of the instrument is more than 12 months and is not expected to be realised or settled within 12 months. Other derivatives are presented as current assets or current liabilities. The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of interest rate, foreign currency and power commodity price risks as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash flow hedges. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group documents whether the hedging instrument is effective in offsetting the hedged risk, by confirming that: \u2022 there is an economic relationship between hedged items and the hedging instrument; \u2022 the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship; and \u2022 the planned ratio of hedge: hedge item is the same as the actual ratio of hedge: hedge item. The fair value change on qualifying fair value hedges is recognised in profit or loss. Cash flow hedges The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the cash flow hedging reserve. Any gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion of the hedge is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognised hedged item. The Group discontinues hedge accounting when the hedge relationship ceases to meet the qualifying criteria, or when the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised. Hedges of a net investment Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, including a hedge of a monetary item that is accounted for as part of the net investment, are accounted for in a way similar to cash flow hedges. Gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognised in other comprehensive income while any gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. On disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative value of any such gains or losses recorded in equity is transferred to the statement of profit or loss. The Group uses a cross-currency swap as a hedge of its exposure to foreign exchange risk on its investments in foreign subsidiaries. Refer to Note 25 for more details. Financial liabilities Debt and equity instruments are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method unless they are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss or the Group has opted to measure them at fair value through the profit or loss. The effective interest rate method calculates the amortised cost of a financial liability and allocates interest expense to the relevant period. Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of any directly associated issue costs. Borrowings are subsequently recorded at amortised cost, with any difference between the amount initially recorded and the redemption value recognised in the consolidated income statement using the effective interest method. Recognition and derecognition The recognition of liabilities occurs when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The derecognition of financial liabilities occurs when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. When the Group exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Share buy-back transactions Shares purchased for cancellation are deducted from retained earnings. The Group uses irrevocable closed period buy-back programmes. A liability to purchase shares is recognised at inception of the programme with any subsequent reduction in the obligation credited back to retained earnings at the end of the programme. Share capital is reduced and credited to the capital redemption reserve once shares are cancelled, maintaining non-distributable reserves.

These judgements and estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly. The Group has considered the impact of climate-related risks on its financial performance and position, and although the impact represents an uncertainty, it is not considered to be material. Critical accounting judgements The following are the critical accounting judgements, apart from those involving estimations (dealt with separately below) that management has made in the process of applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies and which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Adjusting items During the year certain items are identified and separately disclosed as adjusting items. Judgement is applied as to whether the item meets the necessary criteria as per the accounting policy disclosed earlier in this Note. This assessment covers the nature of the item, cause of occurrence and the scale of impact of that item on reported performance. Reversals of previous adjusting items are assessed based on the same criteria. Note 6 provides information on all of the items disclosed as adjusting in the current year and comparative financial statements. Assets held for sale As per the accounting policy above assets are classified as held for sale only if the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and a sale is highly probable and expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification. As a result of the Group\u2019s Accelerating Growth Plan (AGP) the Group is actively marketing a significant number of sites. Judgement exists on a site-by-site basis as to whether the sale will complete within one year. In exercising its judgement management has taken into consideration all available information including external market expert advice. Recognition of German deferred tax asset The Group, through its market entry in Germany, has generated tax losses that will be available for offset against future taxable profits. These losses have resulted in a material unrecognised deferred tax asset of \u00a380.9m (unrecognised tax losses carried forward of \u00a3253.6m) at this balance sheet date. If the Group were to fully recognise the deferred tax asset in this financial year it would have the effect of reducing the Group\u2019s effective tax rate from 31.0% to 9.0%. The German reportable segment\u2019s results have continued to improve, with this forecast to continue in future reporting periods. However, the forecasts used to support whether sufficient positive evidence exists to recognise the deferred tax asset are instead based on the German taxable profits profile. Following this assessment, the Group has judged that at the balance sheet date there remains to be insufficient convincing other evidence, as required under IAS 12, that it will have sufficient taxable profits to realise the above deferred tax asset at this time. Key sources of estimation uncertainty The following are the key areas of estimation uncertainty that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Defined benefit pension Defined benefit pension plans are accounted for in accordance with actuarial advice using the projected unit credit method. The Group makes significant estimates in relation to the discount rates, mortality rates and inflation rates used to calculate the present value of the defined benefit obligation. Note 32 describes the assumptions used together with an analysis of the sensitivity to changes in key assumptions. Impairment testing \u2013 Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets The performance of the Group\u2019s impairment review requires management to make a number of judgements and estimates which are presented together below for ease of understanding but identified separately: Estimates within impairment testing: Inputs used to estimate value in use The estimate of value in use is most sensitive to the following inputs: \u2022 Forecast period cash flows \u2013 the initial five-year period\u2019s cash flows are drawn from the five-year business plan. \u2022 Discount rate \u2013 judgement is required in estimating the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of a typical market participant and in assessing the specific country and currency risks associated with the Group. The rate used is adjusted for the Group\u2019s gearing, including equity, borrowings and lease liabilities. \u2022 Maturity profile of individual sites \u2013 judgement is required to estimate the time taken for sites to reach maturity and the sites\u2019 trading level once they are mature. Methodology used to estimate fair value Fair value is determined using a range of methods, including present value techniques using assumptions consistent with the value in use calculations and market multiple techniques using externally available data. For the purpose of assessing fair value for sites the Group has sought expert valuations based on insight into local market specific factors. Judgements within impairment testing: Strategic impact on composition of CGUs The Group has judged that where there is a commitment and expectation that part of a trading site\u2019s value will be realised through sale, an impairment review should be completed on the trading site as separate CGUs. This is due to the change in how the Group now expects to receive cash flows from the trading site\u2019s assets which are largely independent.

Identification of indicators of impairment and reversal The Group assesses each of its CGUs for indicators of impairment or reversal at the end of each reporting period and, where there are indicators of impairment or reversal, management performs an impairment assessment. Key estimates and sensitivities for impairment of assets are disclosed in Note 14.", "dimensions": { "concept": "ifrs-full:DisclosureOfAccountingJudgementsAndEstimatesExplanatory", "language": "en", "entity": "scheme:21380099VMZKRMN3EX36", "period": "2024-03-01T00:00:00/2025-02-28T00:00:00" } }, "fact-424": { "value": "3.

6. Adjusting items
As set out in the policy in Note 2, we use a range of measures to monitor the financial
performance of the Group. These measures include both statutory measures in accordance
with IFRS and APMs which are consistent with the way that the business performance is
measured internally. We report adjusted measures because we believe they provide both
management and investors with useful additional information about the financial performance
of the Group\u2019s businesses. Adjusted measures of profitability represent the equivalent
IFRS measures adjusted for specific items that we consider hinder the comparison of the
financial performance of the Group\u2019s businesses either from one period to another or with
other similar businesses.

1 During the year, the Group received settlements for business interruption insurance claims of \u00a30.9m
(2023/24: \u00a3nil) and did not receive any settlements in relation to other legal matters (2023/24: \u00a36.9m).
2 The Group has identified indicators of impairment and impairment reversal relating to assets held by
the Group at the year-end date, including those sites impacted by the Accelerating Growth Plan (see
separate footnote below). For those sites not impacted by the Accelerating Growth Plan, an impairment
review of relevant assets was undertaken, resulting in adjusting net impairment charges of \u00a333.0m.
The net impairment is comprised of impairment charges on sites of \u00a338.3m (\u00a322.2m relating to
property, plant and equipment and \u00a316.1m relating to right-of-use assets) offset by impairment
reversals of \u00a35.3m (\u00a32.0m relating to property, plant and equipment and \u00a33.3m relating to
right-of-use assets), netting to an impairment charge of \u00a333.0m. This brings the total adjusting
net impairment charge within operating costs, outside of the Accelerating Growth Plan, to \u00a333.0m.
During the comparative year, impairments outside of the Accelerating Growth Plan resulted in
adjusting net impairment charges of \u00a340.6m (\u00a330.8m relating to property, plant and equipment
and \u00a39.8m relating to right-of-use assets) offset by impairment reversals of \u00a310.3m (\u00a37.2m relating
to property, plant and equipment and \u00a33.1m relating to right-of-use assets), netting to an impairment
charge of \u00a330.3m. In addition, impairment charges of \u00a30.2m had been recorded in relation to assets
held for sale during the year. This brought the total adjusting net impairment charge within operating
costs, outside of the Accelerating Growth Plan, to \u00a330.5m.
Further information is provided in Note 14.
3 Included in the amounts recorded for impairment this period are impairments as a result of the
Group continuing with the optimisation of the UK F&B strategy, the Accelerating Growth Plan. The
net impairment of \u00a343.5m is comprised of impairment charges on sites of \u00a351.0m (\u00a330.6m relating to
property, plant and equipment, \u00a313.2m relating to right-of-use assets and \u00a37.2m relating to assets held
for sale) offset by impairment reversals of \u00a37.5m (\u00a31.5m relating to property, plant and equipment,
\u00a30.7m relating to right-of-use assets and \u00a35.3m relating to assets held for sale). The net impairment
charge includes an amount of \u00a31.0m relating to the write-off of assets based on their revised useful
economic lives for Extensions sites.
During the comparative year, net impairments were made up of impairment charges on sites of
\u00a384.3m (\u00a383.7m relating to property, plant and equipment and \u00a30.6m relating to right-of-use assets)
offset by impairment reversals of \u00a37.3m (\u00a37.3m relating to property, plant and equipment), totalling to
net impairment of \u00a377.0m.
At this time the Group expects to incur further net impairment charges and write downs within
adjusting items totalling between \u00a360.0m and \u00a380.0m in relation to the net write down of assets as
part of the Accelerating Growth Plan to transform and exit a number of the Group\u2019s branded restaurants.
4 During the year, the Group made gains on property disposals (including sale and leasebacks) of
\u00a340.1m and created a provision in relation to damaged inventory of \u00a34.4m. As a result of the sale
and leasebacks the Group received proceeds of \u00a355.9m and recognised a net gain of \u00a30.1m.
During the comparative year, the Group\u2019s joint venture made a gain on a property sale with the
Group\u2019s share being \u00a38.9m, the Group made gains on other property disposals of \u00a38.7m, released
net provisions of \u00a34.2m relating to historic indirect tax matters and had reimbursements of costs
of remedial works on cladding material from property developers of \u00a32.4m.
5 The Group has assessed the presentation of costs incurred in relation to the current and future
implementation of its strategic IT programmes. The programmes scheduled are the Group\u2019s Hotel
Management System, HR & Payroll System, Restaurant System and Strategic Network. These represent
significant business change costs for the Group rather than replacements of IT systems with the
System products being Software as a Service (SaaS). The start date of these projects varies and as
such we expect costs to be incurred within this category over the next few financial years, with their
commercial and strategic benefit seen as lasting several years.
Cash costs incurred on the programmes and presented within adjusting items in the period were
\u00a324.8m, with cumulative cash costs to date being \u00a365.7m (2023/24: \u00a340.9m).
At this time the Group expects to incur future cash costs presented within adjusting items in the next
financial year of between \u00a35.0m and \u00a315.0m.
6 The Group has incurred legal, advisory and project management costs regarding the announced
changes to facilitate the Accelerating Growth Plan (\u2018AGP\u2019) as well as restructuring costs. This programme
represents a significant business change for the Group\u2019s strategic focus in relation to F&B.
Cash costs incurred on the programmes and presented within adjusting items in the period were
\u00a319.9m, with cumulative cash costs to date being \u00a325.8m.
At this time the Group expects to incur future cash costs presented within this adjusting item across
the next three financial years of up to \u00a310.0m.
7 As part of the Group\u2019s strategic supply chain programme the Group has incurred \u00a324.1m contract exit
fees in relation to a supplier. This decision allows the Group to make use of a different supply model
and it is expected the commercial and strategic benefit will be seen over several years.
8 During the year, the Group received confirmation that a previous enquiry from HMRC on historic taxes
has been closed. \u00a32.0m has been released through adjusting items from accruals held in relation to
these enquiries.
9 During the year, the Group has restructured its UK and Germany Support Centres, as well as at its site
operations in Germany resulting in a charge of \u00a38.9m, with \u00a36.5m of this within provisions (Note 23)
at the end of the year.
In total across the adjusting item lines that can be forecasted (contained in the footnotes
above) the Group expects to incur future adjusting item costs in the next financial year of
between \u00a375.0m and \u00a3105.0m.

for the differential tax rates included in the effect of different tax rates.

Pillar Two legislation
On 20 June 2023, the UK substantively enacted the Pillar Two global minimum tax model rules of the OECD\u2019s Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (\u2018BEPS\u2019).
The legislation took effect for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2024, making it effective for the Group from 1 March 2024.
Under the Pillar Two rules, a top-up tax will arise in respect of the Group\u2019s operations in any individual jurisdiction in which (i) none of the Transitional Safe Harbour tests are met and
(ii) the effective tax rate is below 15%. The Group has performed an assessment of the Group\u2019s potential exposure to Pillar Two rules based on financial information for the year ended
27 February 2025 and simulated the Transitional Safe Harbour tests set out by the OECD. Based on this assessment, Whitbread expects to meet one or more of the Safe Harbour tests
in the majority of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates, and does not expect the Pillar Two rules to have a material impact on the tax charge for the Group.
Deferred tax
The major deferred tax assets/(liabilities) recognised by the Group and movement during the current and prior financial years are as follows:

1 The total charge to the consolidated income statement of \u00a363.8m (2023/24: \u00a387.0m) relates predominantly to the utilisation of tax losses carried forward in the period of \u00a329.6m (2023/24: \u00a357.2m)
and accelerated capital allowances arising from full expensing reliefs of \u00a329.8m (2023/24: \u00a325.3m), these being the largest components of the net charge.
2 The total credit to other comprehensive income of \u00a310.8m (2023/24: credit of \u00a363.8m) relates predominantly to a net deferred tax credit on defined benefit pension scheme movements through other
comprehensive income of \u00a314.4m (2023/24: credit of \u00a359.5m).
3 The Other category includes a deferred tax liability of \u00a314.8m (2023/24: \u00a313.6m) in respect of capitalised interest and a deferred tax asset of \u00a35.8m (2023/24: \u00a37.3m) in respect of share-based payments.
The Group recognises UK deferred tax assets to the extent that taxable profits will be available to utilise deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses. At 27 February 2025,
no net UK deferred asset is unrecognised (2023/24: \u00a3nil).
The Group has unrecognised German tax losses of \u00a3253.6m (2023/24: \u00a3226.6m) which can be carried forward indefinitely and offset against future taxable profits in the same tax group.
The Group carries out an assessment of the recoverability of these losses at the reporting period and, to the extent that they exceed tax liabilities within the same tax group, does not
deem it appropriate at this stage to recognise any net German deferred tax asset, refer to the Critical Accounting Judgement within Note 2 for further information. Recognition of German
deferred tax assets in their entirety would result in an increase in the reported deferred tax asset of \u00a380.9m (2023/24: \u00a372.4m). The impact on the current year effective tax rate from the
non-recognition of the assets that accrued in this year is 2.3% (2023/24: 1.9%).
At 27 February 2025, no deferred tax asset is recognised (2023/24: \u00a3nil) on gross temporary differences of \u00a32.4m (2023/24: \u00a32.4m) relating to the accumulated losses of other
international subsidiaries as the Group is able to control the timings of the reversal of these temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Tax relief on total interest capitalised amounts to \u00a32.0m (2023/24: \u00a31.2m).

10. Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share (EPS) figures are calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss)
for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue during the period after deducting treasury shares and
shares held by an independently managed employee share ownership trust (ESOT).
The diluted earnings per share figures allow for the dilutive effect of the conversion into
ordinary shares of the weighted average number of options outstanding during the period.
Where the average share price for the period is lower than the option price, the options
become anti-dilutive and are excluded from the calculation.
The number of shares used for the earnings per share calculations is as follows:

14. Impairment
Summary of impairment charges and reversals
During this year, net impairment charges of \u00a376.5m (2023/24: \u00a3107.5m) were recognised
within operating costs.
Accelerating Growth Plan:
Net impairment, write-offs and accelerated depreciation of \u00a343.5m (2023/24: \u00a384.3m)
has been recognised in respect of the Group continuing with the Accelerating Growth Plan
(the optimisation of the UK F&B strategy).
UK:
Outside of Accelerating Growth Plan-related impairments, gross impairment charges in
the UK of \u00a315.8m (2023/24: \u00a38.4m) and gross impairment reversals in the UK of \u00a35.3m
(2023/24: \u00a310.3m) have been recorded across right-of-use assets and property, plant and
equipment during the year.
Germany:
The Group continues to make progress through organic and portfolio acquisitions in order
to access German markets, with FY25 performance reflecting the increased maturity of
open sites. Impairment indicators were identified at a small number of German sites,
following which the Group has updated relevant cash flow assumptions which has
resulted in a net impairment charge of \u00a322.5m (2023/24: \u00a332.2m impairment charge).
The charges/(reversals) were recognised on the following classes of assets:

Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets \u2013 impairment review
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying
values may not be recoverable.
The majority of the Group\u2019s trading sites offer a combination of accommodation and food
and beverage services, either through a hotel and branded restaurant at the same location
or a hotel which offers food and beverage. Due to the high dependency of cash flows
across accommodation and food and beverage services at these locations, the Group
considers each such trading site to be a separate cash generating unit (CGU). Exceptions
to this exist in the form of a small number of sites where a third party provides food and
beverage services. In addition, in circumstances where the Group is committed to disposal
of a proportion of a site, the related proportion is not included in the trading CGU as the
economic benefits are expected to be received principally through sale.
In assessing whether an asset has been impaired, the carrying amount of the CGU is
compared to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of its value
in use and its fair value less costs of disposal.
Valuation methodology:
The Group calculates a value in use (VIU) for each CGU. The key assumptions used
in calculating VIU are set out below.
Where the VIU is lower than the carrying value of the CGU, the Group additionally
estimates a fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) for each site.
\u2022 For leasehold sites, FVLCD is estimated based on present value techniques using
a discounted cash flow method.
\u2022 For freehold sites, FVLCD is estimated based on applying a market multiple to the
CGU EBITDAR.
The assumptions applied in estimating fair value for each of the above are set out below.
Both estimates of FVLCD rely on inputs not normally observable by market participants
and are therefore level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.
All of the impairment assessments take account of expected market conditions which
include future risks including climate change and related legislation.
Key assumptions:
VIU for freehold and leasehold sites:
The key assumptions used by management in estimating VIU were:
Discount rates
The discount rate is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of a typical
market participant, taking into account specific country and currency risks associated with
the Group. The discount rates have decreased year-on-year driven by a reduction in the
market risk premium partially offset by increased UK risk-free rates, while German risk-free
rates remained stable.

Approved budget period
Forecast cash flows for the initial five-year period are based on actual cash flows and
considered after applying management\u2019s assumptions of the performance of the Group
over the next five years.
The key assumptions used by management in setting the Board approved financial budgets
for the initial five-year period were as follows:
\u2022 Forecast period cash flows: The initial five-year period\u2019s cash flows are drawn from the
five-year business plan.
\u2022 Forecast growth rates: Forecast growth rates are based on the Group business plan, which
includes assumptions around the UK and German economies over the next five years.
\u2022 Operating profits are forecast based on historical experience of operating margins,
adjusted for the impact of inflation and cost saving initiatives.
\u2022 Local factors impacting the site in the current year or expected to impact the site in
future years. Key assumptions include the maturity profile of individual sites, the future
potential of immature sites and the impact of increasing or reducing market supply in
the local area.
Long-term growth rates
A long-term growth rate of 2.0% (2023/24: 2.0%) was used for cash flows subsequent to
the five-year approved budget/plan period. This long-term growth rate is a conservative
rate and is considered to be lower than the long-term historical growth rates of the underlying
territories in which the CGUs operate and the long-term growth rate prospects of the
sectors in which the CGUs operate.
FVLCD for leasehold sites:
The key assumptions used by management in estimating the FVLCD on a discounted cash
flow method were similar to those used in the VIU assessment, modified to reflect
estimated cost of disposal and lease payments.
Discount rates
The discount rate is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of a typical
market participant, taking into account specific country and currency risks associated with
the Group. The discount rates have decreased year-on-year driven by a reduction in the
market risk premium partially offset by increased UK risk-free rates, while German risk-free
rates remained stable.

FVLCD for freehold sites:
The key assumption used by management in estimating the FVLCD for freehold sites is an
EBITDAR multiple.
EBITDAR multiple
An EBITDAR multiple is estimated based on a normalised trading basis and market data
obtained from external sources. This resulted in a multiple in the range of 7 to 11 times.
Methodology in relation to the Group\u2019s Accelerating Growth Plan
As set out in detail on page 10 of the strategic report the Group is continuing to progress
with the announced changes to facilitate its optimisation of UK F&B through the AGP.
This has had the following impact on the Group\u2019s impairment review:
Extensions programme:
As part of the Group\u2019s Extensions programme, some of the Group\u2019s branded restaurants
will be repurposed with smaller space devoted to providing integrated F&B services and
remaining space being converted to additional hotel rooms. The composition of the CGU
remains unchanged. In FY25, planning applications have been submitted for a number of
sites, and permission obtained for some of the sites. The useful economic life of relevant
buildings and fixtures & fittings has been reassessed based on the current status of relevant
approvals and work commencement on-site. The carrying amount of such assets are being
written down at the point that all relevant internal and external approvals are received.
During the year, an amount of \u00a31.0m has been written off, the Group expects to incur
further charges of between \u00a360.0m and \u00a380.0m over the next few financial years.
Disposal sites:
The Group has a committed plan to dispose of a further group of sites to third parties.
At the year end, sites that are being actively marketed with a valid expectation that they
will be disposed of within 12 months from the balance sheet date have been moved to
Assets Held for Sale (AHFS). As the economic benefit of these sites is expected to be
recovered through sale rather than by continuing to trade, these sites have been measured
at the lower of cost and expected proceeds less costs of disposal, with the remaining NBV
of \u00a368.0m relating to these sites has been included within assets held for sale.
Those sites that do not meet the criteria as AHFS have been measured at the lower of cost
and their net realisable value (NRV). NRV in these instances is represented by their FVLCD
which is higher than their VIU.
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
The level of impairment is predominantly dependent upon estimates used in arriving at
future growth rates and the discount rates applied to cash flow projections. The incremental
impact on the net impairment charge of applying a reasonably possible change in assumptions
to the growth rates used in the five-year business plans, long-term growth rates, pre-tax
discount rates, EBITDAR multiple and FV of disposal is as follows:
Total
\u00a3m
Incremental increase/(decrease) to the net impairment charge
Increase to net impairment charge if year one\u2019s cash flows reduced by 10%
0.5
Decrease to net impairment charge if year one\u2019s cash flows increased by 10%
(0.5)
Increase to net impairment charge if discount rates increased by 2%
13.2
Decrease to net impairment charge if discount rates reduced by 2%
(8.5)
Increase to net impairment charge if the fair value of disposal sites reduced
by 20%
18.3
Decrease to net impairment charge if the fair value of disposal sites increased
by 20%
(4.7)
Increase to net impairment charge if long-term growth rates reduced by 1%
5.9
Increase to net impairment charge if EBITDAR multiple reduced by 10%
9.5
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a reasonably possible change in an assumption
(in line with disclosure requirements) whilst holding all other assumptions constant. In
practice, this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Goodwill \u2013 impairment review
Following the impairment assessment over property, plant and equipment and right-of-use
assets, the Group completed an impairment review of goodwill. Goodwill acquired through
business combinations is allocated to groups of CGUs at an operating segment level, being
the level at which management monitors goodwill. As a result of the German goodwill
being impaired in previous years, all of the Group\u2019s goodwill is allocated to the UK and
Ireland segment.
The recoverable amount is the higher of FVLCD and VIU using the same assumptions
as those used in the site level impairment reviews. The recoverable amount has been
determined from VIU calculations. The future cash flows are based on assumptions from
the approved budget and cover a five-year period. These forecasts include management\u2019s
most recent view of medium-term trading prospects. Cash flows beyond this period are
extrapolated using a 2.0% (2023/24: 2.0%) growth rate. The pre-tax discount rate applied
to cash flow projections is 11.4% (2023/24: 11.6%)
Given the level of headroom within the UK segment, there is no reasonably possible change
that could result in a further material impairment of goodwill.
Assets held for sale \u2013 impairment review
In addition to impairments on assets transferred to held for sale in the year, an impairment
charge of \u00a31.9m (2023/24: \u00a30.2m) was recorded in relation to assets which had previously
been classified as held for sale as a result of a reduction in expected sales proceeds.

Fair values IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement requires that the classification of financial instruments at fair value be determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair value. The classification uses the following three-level hierarchy: \u2022 level 1 \u2013 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; \u2022 level 2 \u2013 other techniques for which all inputs, which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, are observable, either directly or indirectly; and \u2022 level 3 \u2013 techniques which use inputs, which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, that are not based on observable market data. For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost The carrying values of trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the Group\u2019s borrowings is estimated at \u00a31,344.8m (2023/24: \u00a3920.1m). The fair value of the Group\u2019s borrowings is based on level 1 valuation techniques where there is an active market for the instrument and on level 2 valuation techniques otherwise.

During the year ended 27 February 2025, there were no transfers between fair value measurement levels. Derivative financial instruments include \u00a3nil assets (2023/24: \u00a33.8m) due after one year, \u00a319.9m assets (2023/24: \u00a3nil) due within one year, and \u00a31.4m liabilities (2023/24: \u00a311.5m) due within one year and \u00a3nil liabilities (2023/24: \u00a34.4m) due after one year. Deferred and contingent consideration includes \u00a3nil due within one year (2023/24: \u00a33.2m due within one year). The fair value of derivative instruments classified as level 2 is calculated by discounting all future cash flows by the relevant market discount rate at the balance sheet date. The fair values of money market funds within cash and cash equivalents classified as level 1 are calculated by reference to their active market values at 27 February 2025. Derivative financial instruments Hedge of net investment in foreign operations In October 2019, the Group entered into cross-currency swaps, whereby it pays an average fixed rate of 2.12% on a notional amount of \u20ac521.0m and receives a fixed rate of 3.375% on a notional amount of \u00a3450.0m. These swaps are being used as a net investment hedge to manage the impact of movements in the GBP:EUR exchange rate on the value of the Group\u2019s investment in its business in Germany. The swaps mature in October 2025 in line with the associated maturing bond.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument
as the net investment creates a translation risk that will match the foreign exchange risk on
the cross-currency swaps. The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 as the underlying
risk of the hedging instrument is identical to the hedged risk component. The hedge
ineffectiveness will arise if the amount of the investment in the foreign subsidiary was
to become lower than the nominal amount of the swaps.
The net investment hedges were assessed to be highly effective at 27 February 2025
and a net unrealised gain of \u00a316.7m (2023/24: \u00a311.1m) has been recorded in the translation
reserve. The Group has recorded costs of hedging of \u00a31.1m (2023/24: \u00a31.1m) within finance
costs in the consolidated income statement as a result of the foreign currency basis spread
within the hedging instrument.
Cash flow hedges
Commodity price risk
The Group is exposed to the impact of changes in gas and power prices. In the UK, the
Group manages this risk by entering into physical supply agreements with an energy
supplier or by hedging with financial counterparties.
As at 27 February 2025, the Group had fixed prices in respect of approximately 80% of its
gas and power requirements for the next financial year. The Group forecasts its UK gas and
power requirements for future years. Group policy specifies that prices are fixed on a
proportion of the projected future requirement.
Given its knowledge of its estate, and its intention to continue operations, the Group is able
to forecast UK energy requirements with a high degree of probability. The Group hedges its
exposure by either entering into physical supply agreements with suppliers or into
derivative trades with financial counterparties (\u2018financial hedge\u2019).
The maximum hedge period is three years. The proportion required to be at a fixed price
increases the closer the period in question is. The policy is operated on a rolling basis. The
specified proportion is never more than 100% of the forecasted requirement. Moreover, by
increasing the proportion of hedging over time, the Group is able to allow for any changes
in the forecasted requirements.
When entering into a financial hedge, the Group undertakes to pay a fixed price for a
specified amount of energy. Settlement is on a monthly basis for the life of the hedge.
In return, the counterparty undertakes to pay an amount equal to the quantity of energy
at the average benchmark price for the month. This benchmark price should be the same
as the benchmark price paid by the Group to its supplier for the same period.

22. Lease arrangements
The Group leases various buildings which are used as hotels and restaurants. The leases are
non-cancellable leases with varying terms, rent review clauses and renewal rights and include
variable payments that are not fixed in amount but based upon a percentage of sales. The
Group also leases various plant and equipment under non-cancellable lease agreements.
An analysis of the Group\u2019s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities is as follows:

1 During the year, the Group acquired two properties over which it had previously held a leasehold
interest.
During the year, the Group had non-cash additions to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
of \u00a3205.0m (2023/24: \u00a3212.3m) relating to new leases and \u00a3118.9m (2023/24: \u00a3105.9m)
relating to amendments to existing leases. The Group recognised net lease payments of
\u00a34.1m on entering new and amended leases (2023/24: \u00a35.8m, of which included \u00a33.6m
relating a released prepayment of sale and leaseback property transaction).
A maturity analysis of gross lease liability payments is included within Note 24.

The Group\u2019s total cash outflow in relation to leases was \u00a3319.4m including variable lease
payments of \u00a34.0m (2023/24: \u00a3305.4m including variable lease payments of \u00a33.5m).
Future possible cash outflows not included in the lease liability
The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options.
Set out below are the undiscounted future rental payments relating to periods following
the exercise date of extension and termination options that are not included in the
lease liability.

The Group uses judgement in determining whether termination and extension option
periods will be included within the lease term. The Group assumes that, unless a decision
has been made to exit a lease, termination options will not be exercised as a result of
historical practices within the Group. At the outset of a lease, the Group assumes that it will
not exercise extension options. Due to the length of the Group\u2019s leases, there is generally
insufficient evidence that exercising an extension option is certain.
Future increases or decreases in rentals linked to an index or rate are not included in
the lease liability until the change in cash flows takes effect. Approximately 77% of the
Group\u2019s lease liabilities are subject to inflation-linked rentals (with 94% of these leases
containing caps) and a further 12% which are subject to open market rent or similar review
clauses. Rental changes linked to inflation or rent reviews typically occur on an annual or
five-yearly basis.
As at 27 February 2025, the Group was committed to leases with future cash outflows
totalling \u00a31,182.3m (2023/24: \u00a31,368.8m) which had not yet commenced and as such are
not accounted for as a liability. A liability and right-of-use asset will be recognised for these
leases at the lease commencement date.
The Group as a lessor
The Group acts as a lessor in relation to a number of non-trading legacy sites and in
subletting space within trading sites. Rental income recognised by the Group during the
year is \u00a35.5m (2023/24: \u00a34.0m). Future minimum rentals receivable under non-cancellable
operating leases at the year-end are as follows:

Restructuring
During the year, the Group has announced restructuring programmes for its UK and
Germany Support Centres, as well as its site operations in Germany resulting in a provision
created of \u00a38.6m, with \u00a32.0m utilised and \u00a30.1m released.
Onerous contracts
Onerous contract provisions relate primarily to property, software licences and supplier
contracts where the contracts have become onerous. Provision is made for property-related
costs for the period that a sublet or assignment of the lease is not possible. Onerous contract
provisions are discounted using a discount rate of 2.0% (2023/24: 2.0%) based on an
approximation for the time value of money.
Property related
The amount and timing of the expected cash outflows are subject to variation. The Group
utilises the skills and expertise of both internal and external property experts to determine
the provision held. Provisions are expected to be utilised over a period of up to ten years.
During the year, the Group utilised \u00a30.5m of property-related onerous provisions.
Exit fees
The Group has incurred exit fees in relation to the Group\u2019s strategic decision to exit and
change to a new logistics provider. A provision of \u00a324.0m was created in relation to these
contracts. During the year, the Group utilised \u00a310.0m of the provision.
Property costs The Group has established a provision for the performance of remedial works on cladding material at a small number of the Group\u2019s sites. A provision of \u00a35.6m is brought forward in relation to these costs. During the year \u00a32.7m of the provision has been utilised, \u00a30.4m released and \u00a30.9m was created. The provision is expected to be utilised over the next two years. Insurance A provision of \u00a38.3m was brought forward in relation to the estimate of the cost of future claims against the Group from employees and the public. The claims covered typically relate to accidents and injuries sustained within Whitbread\u2019s trading sites. During the year, \u00a32.1m of the provision was utilised and \u00a32.0m was created. Other The Group has previously announced its intention to exit hotel operations in Southeast Asia. During the year, \u00a30.2m of the provision had been utilised, with \u00a31.3m of the provision carried forward for risks arising from indemnity agreements. The remaining costs are expected to be utilised within one year. The Group operates leases where it neither anticipates nor intends exiting a lease; therefore, the Group has determined that the circumstances in which these leases would end mean that an outflow of resources is not considered probable. As a result, the Group does not hold a material dilapidations provision.

30. Contingent liabilities The Group has ongoing legal proceedings in relation to a third-party intellectual property claim. Based on the legal advice management has received it believes the case to be without merit. However, alternative views may exist that could result in an outcome that requires an economic settlement. Any settlement would not be material to the Group (2023/24: no contingent liabilities).", "dimensions": { "concept": "ifrs-full:DisclosureOfOtherProvisionsContingentLiabilitiesAndContingentAssetsExplanatory", "language": "en", "entity": "scheme:21380099VMZKRMN3EX36", "period": "2024-03-01T00:00:00/2025-02-28T00:00:00" } }, "fact-444": { "value": "24. Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group\u2019s principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise bank loans, senior unsecured bonds, cash, short-term deposits, trade receivables and trade payables. The Group\u2019s financial instrument policies can be found in the accounting policies in Note 2. The Board agrees policies for managing the financial risks summarised below: Interest rate risk The Group\u2019s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group\u2019s long-term debt obligations. Interest rate swaps are used where necessary to maintain a mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings to manage this risk, in line with the Group treasury policy. At the year-end, 100% of Group debt was fixed for an average of 3.9 years at an average interest rate of 3.7% (2023/24: 100% for 3.5 years at 3.0%). In accordance with IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, the Group has undertaken sensitivity analysis on its financial instruments which are affected by changes in interest rates. This analysis has been prepared on the basis of a constant amount of net debt, a constant ratio of fixed to floating interest rates, and the hedging instruments in place at 27 February 2025 and 29 February 2024 respectively. Consequently, the analysis relates to the situation at those dates and is not representative of the years then ended. The following assumptions were made: \u2022 balance sheet sensitivity to interest rates applies only to derivative financial instruments, as the carrying value of debt and deposits does not change as interest rates move; and \u2022 gains or losses are recognised in equity or the consolidated income statement in line with the accounting policies set out in Note 2. Based on the Group\u2019s net debt position at the year-end, a 1%pt increase in interest rates would increase the Group\u2019s profit before tax by \u00a39.1m (2023/24: \u00a37.0m) . Liquidity risk In its funding strategy, the Group\u2019s objective is to maintain a balance between the continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts and bank loans. This strategy includes monitoring the maturity of financial liabilities to avoid the risk of a shortage of funds. Excess cash used in managing liquidity is placed on interest-bearing deposit where maturity is fixed at no more than three months. Short-term flexibility is achieved through the use of short-term borrowing on the money markets.
The Group presents the time bands below as they reflect the maturity profile that it monitors in its liquidity management activities. The tables below summarise the Group\u2019s financial
liabilities at 27 February 2025 and 29 February 2024 based on contractual undiscounted payments, including interest:

Credit risk
Due to the high level of cash held at the year-end, the most significant credit risk faced by
the Group is that arising on cash and cash equivalents. The Group\u2019s exposure arises from
default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying value of these
instruments. The Group seeks to minimise the risk of default in relation to cash and cash
equivalents by spreading investments across a number of counterparties and dealing in
accordance with Group treasury policy which specifies acceptable credit ratings and
maximum investments for any counterparty.
In the event that any of the Group\u2019s banks get into financial difficulty, the Group is exposed
to the risk of withdrawal of currently undrawn committed facilities. This risk is mitigated by
the Group having a range of counterparties to its facilities.
The Group is exposed to a small amount of credit risk attributable to its trade and other
receivables. This is minimised by dealing with counterparties with good credit ratings.
The amounts included in the balance sheet are net of expected credit losses, which have
been estimated by management based on prior experience and any known factors at
the balance sheet date.
The Group\u2019s maximum exposure to credit risk arising from trade and other receivables,
derivatives and cash and cash equivalents is \u00a31,002.3m (2023/24: \u00a3785.4m).
Foreign currency risk
The Group monitors the growth and risks associated with its overseas operations and
will undertake hedging activities as and when they are required. In October 2019, the
Group entered into a net investment hedge to manage the impact of movements in the
GBP:EUR exchange rate on the value of the Group\u2019s investment in its business in Germany.
See Note 25 for more details.
Capital management The Group\u2019s primary objective in regard to capital management is to ensure that it continues to operate as a going concern and has sufficient funds at its disposal to grow the business for the benefit of shareholders. The Group seeks to maintain a ratio of debt to equity that balances risks and returns and also complies with the Group\u2019s net debt to EBITDA covenant. See pages 30 to 37 of this report for the policies and objectives of the Board regarding capital management, analysis of the Group\u2019s credit facilities and financing plans for the coming years. The Group aims to maintain sufficient funds for working capital and future investment in order to meet growth targets. The management of equity through share buy-backs and new issues is considered as part of the overall leverage framework balanced against the funding requirements of future growth. In addition, the Group may carry out a number of sale and leaseback transactions to provide further funding for growth. The Group has access to a \u00a3775.0m multicurrency revolving credit facility with a final maturity date on 25 May 2029. There is one financial covenant ratio, being: net debt/adjusted EBITDA <3.5x. The above matters are considered at regular intervals and form part of the business planning and budgeting processes.

Interest rate swaps are used where necessary to maintain a mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings to manage this risk, in line with the Group treasury policy. At the year-end, 100% of Group debt was fixed for an average of 3.9 years at an average interest rate of 3.7% (2023/24: 100% for 3.5 years at 3.0%). In accordance with IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, the Group has undertaken sensitivity analysis on its financial instruments which are affected by changes in interest rates. This analysis has been prepared on the basis of a constant amount of net debt, a constant ratio of fixed to floating interest rates, and the hedging instruments in place at 27 February 2025 and 29 February 2024 respectively. Consequently, the analysis relates to the situation at those dates and is not representative of the years then ended. The following assumptions were made: \u2022 balance sheet sensitivity to interest rates applies only to derivative financial instruments, as the carrying value of debt and deposits does not change as interest rates move; and \u2022 gains or losses are recognised in equity or the consolidated income statement in line with the accounting policies set out in Note 2.

Liquidity risk
In its funding strategy, the Group\u2019s objective is to maintain a balance between the
continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts and bank loans.
This strategy includes monitoring the maturity of financial liabilities to avoid the risk
of a shortage of funds.
Excess cash used in managing liquidity is placed on interest-bearing deposit where
maturity is fixed at no more than three months. Short-term flexibility is achieved through
the use of short-term borrowing on the money markets.
The Group presents the time bands below as they reflect the maturity profile that it monitors in its liquidity management activities. The tables below summarise the Group\u2019s financial liabilities at 27 February 2025 and 29 February 2024 based on contractual undiscounted payments, including interest:

Fair values
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement requires that the classification of financial instruments at fair value be determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair value.
The classification uses the following three-level hierarchy:
\u2022 level 1 \u2013 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
\u2022 level 2 \u2013 other techniques for which all inputs, which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
\u2022 level 3 \u2013 techniques which use inputs, which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, that are not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels
in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost
The carrying values of trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and trade
and other payables are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values
largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of the Group\u2019s borrowings is estimated at \u00a31,344.8m (2023/24: \u00a3920.1m). The
fair value of the Group\u2019s borrowings is based on level 1 valuation techniques where there is
an active market for the instrument and on level 2 valuation techniques otherwise.

Derivative financial instruments
Hedge of net investment in foreign operations
In October 2019, the Group entered into cross-currency swaps, whereby it pays an average
fixed rate of 2.12% on a notional amount of \u20ac521.0m and receives a fixed rate of 3.375%
on a notional amount of \u00a3450.0m. These swaps are being used as a net investment hedge
to manage the impact of movements in the GBP:EUR exchange rate on the value of the
Group\u2019s investment in its business in Germany. The swaps mature in October 2025 in line
with the associated maturing bond.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as the net investment creates a translation risk that will match the foreign exchange risk on the cross-currency swaps. The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 as the underlying risk of the hedging instrument is identical to the hedged risk component. The hedge ineffectiveness will arise if the amount of the investment in the foreign subsidiary was to become lower than the nominal amount of the swaps. The net investment hedges were assessed to be highly effective at 27 February 2025 and a net unrealised gain of \u00a316.7m (2023/24: \u00a311.1m) has been recorded in the translation reserve. The Group has recorded costs of hedging of \u00a31.1m (2023/24: \u00a31.1m) within finance costs in the consolidated income statement as a result of the foreign currency basis spread within the hedging instrument. Cash flow hedges Commodity price risk The Group is exposed to the impact of changes in gas and power prices. In the UK, the Group manages this risk by entering into physical supply agreements with an energy supplier or by hedging with financial counterparties. As at 27 February 2025, the Group had fixed prices in respect of approximately 80% of its gas and power requirements for the next financial year. The Group forecasts its UK gas and power requirements for future years. Group policy specifies that prices are fixed on a proportion of the projected future requirement. Given its knowledge of its estate, and its intention to continue operations, the Group is able to forecast UK energy requirements with a high degree of probability. The Group hedges its exposure by either entering into physical supply agreements with suppliers or into derivative trades with financial counterparties (\u2018financial hedge\u2019). The maximum hedge period is three years. The proportion required to be at a fixed price increases the closer the period in question is. The policy is operated on a rolling basis. The specified proportion is never more than 100% of the forecasted requirement. Moreover, by increasing the proportion of hedging over time, the Group is able to allow for any changes in the forecasted requirements. When entering into a financial hedge, the Group undertakes to pay a fixed price for a specified amount of energy. Settlement is on a monthly basis for the life of the hedge. In return, the counterparty undertakes to pay an amount equal to the quantity of energy at the average benchmark price for the month. This benchmark price should be the same as the benchmark price paid by the Group to its supplier for the same period.

These swaps are being used as a net investment hedge to manage the impact of movements in the GBP:EUR exchange rate on the value of the Group\u2019s investment in its business in Germany. The swaps mature in October 2025 in line with the associated maturing bond. There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as the net investment creates a translation risk that will match the foreign exchange risk on the cross-currency swaps. The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 as the underlying risk of the hedging instrument is identical to the hedged risk component. The hedge ineffectiveness will arise if the amount of the investment in the foreign subsidiary was to become lower than the nominal amount of the swaps. The net investment hedges were assessed to be highly effective at 27 February 2025 and a net unrealised gain of \u00a316.7m (2023/24: \u00a311.1m) has been recorded in the translation reserve. The Group has recorded costs of hedging of \u00a31.1m (2023/24: \u00a31.1m) within finance costs in the consolidated income statement as a result of the foreign currency basis spread within the hedging instrument.

31. Share-based payment plans
Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
LTIP awards were made to directors and senior executives of the Group prior to the
adoption of the Restricted Share Plan. Vesting of share awards under the scheme was
dependent on continued employment and meeting performance targets over a three-year
vesting period. The awards are settled in equity once exercised.
Deferred equity awards
Share awards are made under the Whitbread Directors\u2019 Incentive Scheme implemented
during 2004/05. The awards are not subject to performance conditions and will vest in full
on the release date subject to continued employment at that date. If the director or senior
executive of the Group ceases to be an employee of Whitbread prior to the release date,
normally three years after the award, by reason of redundancy, death, injury, ill health,
disability or some other reason considered to be a permitted reason by the Remuneration
Committee, the awards may be released in full. If employment ceases for any other reason,
the proportion of awards which vest depends upon the year in which the award was made
and the date that employment ceased. If employment ceases in the first year after an
award is made, none of the award vests, between the first and second anniversary, 25%
vests, and between the second and third anniversary, 50% vests. The awards are settled
in equity once exercised.
R&R Scheme
The R&R Scheme enables Whitbread to make share awards periodically on a flexible basis.
There are typically no performance conditions but these can be imposed by Whitbread at
time of grant. Vesting of awards under this scheme is dependent on being in employment
at date of vesting. If employment at Whitbread ceases prior to the vesting date by reason
of resignation or is terminated for cause, all unvested awards will lapse. If employment
ceases for any other reason, any vesting will be at the discretion of the Remuneration
Committee and if granted will be on a pro-rated basis to the leaving date. The awards
are settled in equity once exercised.
Restricted Share Plan (RSP)
At the general meeting held on 6 December 2019, it was agreed that the Restricted Share
Plan would replace the Long Term Incentive Plan. Vesting of all shares under the scheme
will depend on continued employment and meeting underpin targets over a period of at
least three years. Details of the underpin target that apply to RSP awards are included in
the remuneration report on page 129. After vesting there is an additional holding period
applicable to directors and senior executives such that the underpin measurement period
and holding period are at least five years. If employment at Whitbread ceases prior to the
vesting date by reason of resignation or terminated for cause, all unvested shares will lapse.
If employment ceases for any other reason, any vesting will be at the discretion of the
Remuneration Committee and if granted will be on a pro-rated basis to the leaving date.
The awards are settled in equity once exercised.

The fair value of share options granted is estimated as at the date of grant using a stochastic model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.
Expected volatility reflects the assumption that historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome. The risk-free rate is the rate of interest
obtainable from government securities over the expected life of the equity incentive. The expected dividend yield is calculated on the basis of publicly available information at the time of
the grant date which, in most cases, is the historical dividend yield. No other features relating to the granting of options were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.
Employee share ownership trust (ESOT)
The Company funds an ESOT to enable it to acquire and hold shares for the share-based
payment plans noted above. The ESOT held 0.8m shares at 27 February 2025 (2023/24:
0.9m). All dividends on the shares in the ESOT are waived by the Trustee.

32. Retirement benefits
Defined contribution schemes
The Group operates a contracted-in defined contribution scheme under the Whitbread
Group Pension Fund. Contributions by both employees and Group companies are held
in externally invested, trustee-administered funds.
The Group contributes a specified percentage of earnings for members of the above
defined contribution scheme, and thereafter has no further obligations in relation to the
scheme. The total cost charged to the consolidated income statement in relation to the
defined contribution scheme in the year was \u00a316.4m (2023/24: \u00a314.7m). At the year-end,
the Group owed outstanding contributions of \u00a33.1m (2023/24: \u00a32.8m) in respect of the
defined contribution scheme.
Defined benefit scheme
The defined benefit (final salary) section of the principal Group pension scheme, the
Whitbread Group Pension Fund, was closed to new members on 31 December 2001 and to
future accrual on 31 December 2009. The Whitbread Group Pension Fund is set up under
UK trust law, registered with His Majesty\u2019s Revenue and Customs and regulated by the
Pensions Regulator. The Whitbread Group Pension Fund is governed by a corporate trustee
which operates the scheme in accordance with the requirements of UK pensions legislation.
The surplus recognised in the consolidated balance sheet in respect of the defined benefit
pension scheme is the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined
benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period. The IAS 19 pension cost relating to the
defined benefit section of the Whitbread Group Pension Fund is assessed in accordance
with actuarial advice from, and calculations provided by, Lane Clark & Peacock, using the
projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined
by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporate
bonds that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension
obligation. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in
actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in
the period in which they arise. As the scheme is closed to future accrual, there is no future
service cost.
The surplus has been recognised as, under the governing documentation of the Whitbread
Group Pension Fund, the Group has an unconditional right to receive a refund, assuming
the gradual settlement of the scheme liabilities over time until all members and their
dependants have either died or left the scheme, in accordance with the provisions of
IFRIC 14 IAS 19 \u2013 The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements
and their Interaction.
With the pensioner buy-in policy purchased in June 2022, the defined benefit scheme
has now insured around 50% of pensioners, under which the benefits payable to defined
benefit members covered under the policy became fully insured, thus reducing the Group\u2019s
exposure to changes in longevity, interest rates, inflation and other relevant factors.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the
reporting period is 12 years (2023/24: 13 years).
The Group continues to monitor the Virgin Media Ltd vs NTL Pension Trustees court case,
despite the Court of Appeal recently upholding the earlier decision of the High Court
against Virgin Media, based on the work performed by the Group to date, it remains
appropriate that no adjustment is made to the Group\u2019s financial statements, and we will
continue to keep this matter under review.
Funding
Expected contributions to be made in the next reporting period total \u00a36.7m (2023/24: \u00a317.7m).
In 2024/25, contributions were \u00a317.1m with \u00a35.1m from the employer, \u00a311.8m from Moorgate
Scottish Limited Partnership (SLP) and \u00a30.2m of benefits settled by the Group in relation
to an unfunded scheme (2023/24: \u00a317.7m, with \u00a35.1m from the employer, \u00a311.4m from
Moorgate SLP and \u00a30.2m of benefits settled by the Group in relation to an unfunded scheme).
In addition, Whitbread paid \u00a30.8m (2023/24: \u00a30.8m) of investment manager expenses.
A scheme specific actuarial valuation for the purpose of determining the level of cash
contributions to be paid into the Whitbread Group Pension Fund was undertaken as at
31 March 2023 by Towers Watson Ltd using the projected unit credit method. The valuation
showed a surplus of assets relative to technical provisions of \u00a334.0m (31 March 2020:
surplus of \u00a355.0m). As a result, no deficit reduction contributions are due.
A scheme specific actuarial valuation of the scheme as at 31 March 2025 is currently being
carried out.
The Trustee holds as security \u00a3531.5m of Whitbread\u2019s freehold property and this is expected
to remain at this level until no further obligations are due under the Scottish Partnership
arrangements. Following that, which is expected to be the case during the 2025/26
financial year, the security held by the Trustee will be the lower of: \u00a3500.0m; and 120%
of the buy-out deficit and will remain in place until there is no longer a buy-out deficit.
Investment in Moorgate SLP Up until February 2025, the pension scheme received a share of the partnership profits from its investment in Moorgate SLP, which was established by the Group in the year ended 4 March 2010 (the share in profits was accounted for by the Group as pension contributions at the time of payment). The partnership interests in Moorgate SLP are held by the Group, the general partner and by the pension scheme. Moorgate SLP holds an investment in a further partnership, Farringdon Scottish Partnership (SP), established in the same year. Property assets were transferred from other Group companies to Farringdon SP and are leased back to Whitbread Group PLC and Premier Inn Hotels Limited. The Group retains control over these properties, including the flexibility to substitute alternative properties. However, the Trustee has first charge over the property portfolio and certain other assets with an aggregate value of \u00a3228.0m which is included in the charge of \u00a3531.5m above. The Group retains control over both partnerships and, as such, they are fully consolidated in these consolidated financial statements. The Pension Scheme is a partner in Moorgate SLP and, as such, was entitled to an annual share of the profits of the partnership up until February 2025. The underlying agreement will most likely terminate during the next financial year. At the end of this agreement, the partnership capital allocated to the Pension Scheme partner will, depending on the funding position of the Pension Scheme at that time, be transferred in cash to the Pension Scheme up to a value of \u00a3150.0m. The Group does not currently expect to need to pay out a material value under this clause as the funding position as at this year end is in a technical funding surplus, noting this is subject to change up to the point of the partnership agreement being terminated after this financial year. Under IAS 19, the investment held by the pension scheme in Moorgate SLP, a consolidated entity, does not represent a plan asset for the purposes of the consolidated financial statements. Risks Through its defined benefit scheme, the Group is exposed to a number of risks in relation to the IAS 19 surplus, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Risk
Description
Principal impact on assets and obligation reconciliations
Market volatility
The value of the defined benefit obligation is linked to AA-rated corporate bonds whilst the
\u2022
Return on plan assets
scheme invests some of its assets in other asset classes (including those denominated in foreign
\u2022
Actuarial movements in financial assumptions
currencies). These assets include private equities, secure income assets, gilts, swaps and cash. This
exposes the Group to risks including those relating to interest rates, equity markets, foreign
exchange and climate change. As a result, any change in market conditions which impacts the
value of the scheme\u2019s assets or the interest rate on AA-rated corporate bonds will lead to volatility
in the Group\u2019s net pension surplus on the balance sheet, pension expense in the income statement
and remeasurement of movements in other comprehensive income. There is the potential for
heightened market volatility through a number of different sources, including the economic impact
of geopolitical events (e.g. regional conflicts or the potential for trade wars), and the policy
response of central banks to changing economic conditions (e.g. growth and inflation) which could
have consequential implications on interest rates, in addition to wider economic impacts. There are
also longer-term macroeconomic risks, such as the possible risk of recession and constraints on
market liquidity, which could all adversely affect the scheme\u2019s assets.
Inflationary risk
Due to the link between the scheme obligation and inflation, an increase in the expected future
\u2022
Actuarial movements in financial assumptions
rate of inflation will lead to higher scheme liabilities, although this is mitigated by the scheme
holding inflation-linked assets which aim to match the increase in liabilities.
Accounting The defined benefit obligation is calculated by projecting the future cash flows of the scheme for
\u2022
Discount rate: interest income on scheme assets and cost
assumptions many years into the future. Consequently, the assumptions used can have a significant impact on on liabilities
the balance sheet position and income statement charge. In practice, future scheme experience
\u2022
Mortality: actuarial movements in demographic assumptions
may not be in line with the assumptions adopted. For example, an increase in the life expectancy
\u2022
Actuarial movements in financial assumptions
of members would increase scheme liabilities.
The principal assumptions used by the independent qualified actuaries in updating the most
recent valuation carried out as at 31 March 2023 of the UK scheme to 27 February 2025 for
IAS 19 Employee Benefits purposes (2023/24: 31 March 2020 to 29 February 2024) were:

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption whilst holding all
other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of
the assumptions may be correlated. Where the discount rate is changed this will have an
impact on the valuation of scheme assets in the opposing direction.
When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial
assumptions, the same method (projected unit credit method) has been applied as
when calculating the pension surplus recognised within the consolidated balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions did not change.
As the Trustees of the Fund have a strategy in place to hedge the Fund\u2019s liabilities against
movements in interest rates and inflation, it is likely that movements in assets and liabilities
will offset.

The Whitbread Group Pension Fund is set up under UK trust law, registered with His Majesty\u2019s Revenue and Customs and regulated by the Pensions Regulator. The Whitbread Group Pension Fund is governed by a corporate trustee which operates the scheme in accordance with the requirements of UK pensions legislation. The surplus recognised in the consolidated balance sheet in respect of the defined benefit pension scheme is the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period. The IAS 19 pension cost relating to the defined benefit section of the Whitbread Group Pension Fund is assessed in accordance with actuarial advice from, and calculations provided by, Lane Clark & Peacock, using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporate bonds that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. As the scheme is closed to future accrual, there is no future service cost. The surplus has been recognised as, under the governing documentation of the Whitbread Group Pension Fund, the Group has an unconditional right to receive a refund, assuming the gradual settlement of the scheme liabilities over time until all members and their dependants have either died or left the scheme, in accordance with the provisions of IFRIC 14 IAS 19 \u2013 The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction. With the pensioner buy-in policy purchased in June 2022, the defined benefit scheme has now insured around 50% of pensioners, under which the benefits payable to defined benefit members covered under the policy became fully insured, thus reducing the Group\u2019s exposure to changes in longevity, interest rates, inflation and other relevant factors. The weighted average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 12 years (2023/24: 13 years). The Group continues to monitor the Virgin Media Ltd vs NTL Pension Trustees court case, despite the Court of Appeal recently upholding the earlier decision of the High Court against Virgin Media, based on the work performed by the Group to date, it remains appropriate that no adjustment is made to the Group\u2019s financial statements, and we will continue to keep this matter under review. Funding Expected contributions to be made in the next reporting period total \u00a36.7m (2023/24: \u00a317.7m). In 2024/25, contributions were \u00a317.1m with \u00a35.1m from the employer, \u00a311.8m from Moorgate Scottish Limited Partnership (SLP) and \u00a30.2m of benefits settled by the Group in relation to an unfunded scheme (2023/24: \u00a317.7m, with \u00a35.1m from the employer, \u00a311.4m from Moorgate SLP and \u00a30.2m of benefits settled by the Group in relation to an unfunded scheme). In addition, Whitbread paid \u00a30.8m (2023/24: \u00a30.8m) of investment manager expenses. A scheme specific actuarial valuation for the purpose of determining the level of cash contributions to be paid into the Whitbread Group Pension Fund was undertaken as at 31 March 2023 by Towers Watson Ltd using the projected unit credit method. The valuation showed a surplus of assets relative to technical provisions of \u00a334.0m (31 March 2020: surplus of \u00a355.0m). As a result, no deficit reduction contributions are due. A scheme specific actuarial valuation of the scheme as at 31 March 2025 is currently being carried out. The Trustee holds as security \u00a3531.5m of Whitbread\u2019s freehold property and this is expected to remain at this level until no further obligations are due under the Scottish Partnership arrangements. Following that, which is expected to be the case during the 2025/26 financial year, the security held by the Trustee will be the lower of: \u00a3500.0m; and 120% of the buy-out deficit and will remain in place until there is no longer a buy-out deficit.
Investment in Moorgate SLP
Up until February 2025, the pension scheme received a share of the partnership profits
from its investment in Moorgate SLP, which was established by the Group in the year ended
4 March 2010 (the share in profits was accounted for by the Group as pension contributions
at the time of payment). The partnership interests in Moorgate SLP are held by the Group,
the general partner and by the pension scheme.
Moorgate SLP holds an investment in a further partnership, Farringdon Scottish Partnership
(SP), established in the same year. Property assets were transferred from other Group
companies to Farringdon SP and are leased back to Whitbread Group PLC and Premier Inn
Hotels Limited. The Group retains control over these properties, including the flexibility to
substitute alternative properties. However, the Trustee has first charge over the property
portfolio and certain other assets with an aggregate value of \u00a3228.0m which is included
in the charge of \u00a3531.5m above. The Group retains control over both partnerships and,
as such, they are fully consolidated in these consolidated financial statements.
The Pension Scheme is a partner in Moorgate SLP and, as such, was entitled to an annual
share of the profits of the partnership up until February 2025. The underlying agreement
will most likely terminate during the next financial year. At the end of this agreement, the
partnership capital allocated to the Pension Scheme partner will, depending on the funding
position of the Pension Scheme at that time, be transferred in cash to the Pension Scheme
up to a value of \u00a3150.0m. The Group does not currently expect to need to pay out a material
value under this clause as the funding position as at this year end is in a technical funding
surplus, noting this is subject to change up to the point of the partnership agreement being
terminated after this financial year.
Under IAS 19, the investment held by the pension scheme in Moorgate SLP, a consolidated
entity, does not represent a plan asset for the purposes of the consolidated financial statements.
Risks
Through its defined benefit scheme, the Group is exposed to a number of risks in relation to the IAS 19 surplus, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Risk
Description
Principal impact on assets and obligation reconciliations
Market volatility
The value of the defined benefit obligation is linked to AA-rated corporate bonds whilst the
\u2022
Return on plan assets
scheme invests some of its assets in other asset classes (including those denominated in foreign
\u2022
Actuarial movements in financial assumptions
currencies). These assets include private equities, secure income assets, gilts, swaps and cash. This
exposes the Group to risks including those relating to interest rates, equity markets, foreign
exchange and climate change. As a result, any change in market conditions which impacts the
value of the scheme\u2019s assets or the interest rate on AA-rated corporate bonds will lead to volatility
in the Group\u2019s net pension surplus on the balance sheet, pension expense in the income statement
and remeasurement of movements in other comprehensive income. There is the potential for
heightened market volatility through a number of different sources, including the economic impact
of geopolitical events (e.g. regional conflicts or the potential for trade wars), and the policy
response of central banks to changing economic conditions (e.g. growth and inflation) which could
have consequential implications on interest rates, in addition to wider economic impacts. There are
also longer-term macroeconomic risks, such as the possible risk of recession and constraints on
market liquidity, which could all adversely affect the scheme\u2019s assets.
Inflationary risk
Due to the link between the scheme obligation and inflation, an increase in the expected future
\u2022
Actuarial movements in financial assumptions
rate of inflation will lead to higher scheme liabilities, although this is mitigated by the scheme
holding inflation-linked assets which aim to match the increase in liabilities.
Accounting The defined benefit obligation is calculated by projecting the future cash flows of the scheme for
\u2022
Discount rate: interest income on scheme assets and cost
assumptions many years into the future. Consequently, the assumptions used can have a significant impact on on liabilities
the balance sheet position and income statement charge. In practice, future scheme experience
\u2022
Mortality: actuarial movements in demographic assumptions
may not be in line with the assumptions adopted. For example, an increase in the life expectancy
\u2022
Actuarial movements in financial assumptions
of members would increase scheme liabilities.

35. Asset acquisitions
During this and the previous year, the Group has purchased a number of properties; the
legal form of the transactions varies between acquisition of the property or acquisition of
the company holding title of the property, as well as noting that a number of properties are
purchased in a state that means they do not meet the definition of a business on acquisition.
For the remaining properties which do meet the definition of being a business on acquisition,
these transactions have been accounted for as asset acquisitions under IFRS 3 Business
Combinations as the fair value of the assets is concentrated in a single group of similar
assets in each deal analysed. The transactions form part of the Group\u2019s strategic priorities
over both international growth and continued UK market share gains.
