Statements have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (UK-adopted IFRS). The Company has elected to prepare its Parent Company financial statements in accordance with FRS 101; these are presented on pages 226 to 232. The Group Financial Statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group) and equity account the Group\u2019s interest in joint ventures. The Parent Company financial statements present information about the Company as a separate entity and not about its Group. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on the going concern basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for the assets. These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in pounds sterling as the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. The Berkeley Group Holdings plc is a public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act and is registered in England and Wales. The Company\u2019s registered office and principal place of business is The Berkeley Group Holdings plc, Berkeley House, 19 Portsmouth Road, Cobham, Surrey, KT11 1JG . The nature of the Group\u2019s operations and its principal activities are set out in the Strategic Report on pages 1, 16 and 17. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It may also require management to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies. The key areas involving estimation uncertainty, which are significant to the Consolidated Financial Statements, are: \u2014 cost of sales recognition which is dependent on an estimate of future selling prices and costs. See Note 2.13; and \u2014 post completion development provisions which rely on management judgement in estimating the quantum and timing of outflows of resources to settle any associated legal or constructive obligations. See Note 2.17. Whilst these are key areas of estimation uncertainty, these are unlikely to have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. There are no significant areas of judgement in applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies exercised by management during the current or prior year. Group accounting policies The significant Group accounting policies are included within the relevant notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 184 to 225. The accounting policies set out have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements, except for depreciation on investment property which applies to the current financial year. 1.2\u2002Going concern The Directors have assessed the business plan and funding requirements of the Group over the medium- term and compared these with the level of committed debt facilities and existing cash resources. As at 30 April 2026, the Group had net cash of \u00a3363 million and total liquidity of \u00a31,563 million when this net cash is combined with banking facilities of \u00a3800 million (committed to February 2029) and \u00a3400 million of listed bonds (which mature in August 2031). Furthermore, the Group has cash due on forward sales of \u00a31,006 million, a significant proportion of which covers delivery for the next 18 months. After the year end, the Group extended the banking facility to \u00a31.0 billion, comprising a \u00a3240 million Term Loan, which is fully drawn bearing interest at a rate linked to SONIA, and a \u00a3760 million Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) which remains undrawn. These banking facilities are in place to June 2031 with two one-year extensions taking the facility to June 2033. See Note 2.27 on page 218. In making this assessment, consideration has been given to the uncertainty inherent in future financial forecasts and where applicable, severe but plausible sensitivities have been applied to the key factors affecting the financial performance of the Group. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these Consolidated Financial Statements. For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. 1.3\u2002Consideration of climate change In preparing the Financial Statements, consideration has been given to the Group\u2019s activities to address climate change as part of Our Vision and its assessment and reporting of future climate-related transitional and physical risks under the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (\u2018TCFD\u2019) framework, both of which are set out in the Strategic Report. The costs incurred in developing the Group\u2019s sites are held in inventory as these are trading in nature and are therefore taken through cost of sales to match the revenue generated by the sale of properties on each development. The recognition of cost of sales, and therefore the carrying value of inventory, during a financial year is made by reference to the latest assessment of each development\u2019s forecast profit margin, which is a key area of estimation uncertainty as set out in Note 2.13. The cost of specific climate change related activities undertaken as part of the development of a site is inherently difficult to disassociate from other input costs as these typically involve a myriad of inter-related design and construction based solutions, for instance over the selection of key materials and technologies adopted to reduce embodied carbon and minimise future energy use of the Group\u2019s occupied homes. In turn, these activities are regulated by prevailing planning and building regulations requirements. The future cost estimates used to determine the cost of sales recognition during the financial year inherently reflect the Group\u2019s current development-specific climate-related actions through its cost plans. Consistent with the inherently higher cost uncertainty of its longer-term developments from evolving regulatory and other market-led changes, the Group may incur as yet unknown costs associated with its own future climate-related actions as well as costs arising from the impact of climate change. As set out in Note 2.13, the Group\u2019s cost assessments and allocations evolve over the life of each development. 1.4\u2002Basis of consolidation (a)\u2002Subsidiaries The Consolidated Financial Statements comprise the financial statements of the Parent Company and all its subsidiary undertakings. The accounting date for subsidiary undertakings is 30 April, unless otherwise stated in Note 2.28. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration substantive rights that are currently exercisable. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiary undertakings by the Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used in line with those used by the Group. All intra-Group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. (b)\u2002Joint ventures Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are initially recognised at cost. The Group\u2019s investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Group\u2019s share of the total comprehensive income and equity movements of equity accounted investees, from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases. When the Group\u2019s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the Group\u2019s carrying amount is reduced to \u00a3nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of an investee. 1.5\u2002Adoption of new and revised standards The following amendment to standards and interpretations is applicable to the Group and is mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 May 2025: \u2014 Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It may also require management to exercise
their judgement in the process of applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies.
As residential development is largely speculative by nature, not all inventories are covered by forward
sales contracts. Furthermore, due to the nature of the Group\u2019s activity and in particular, the scale of its
developments and the length of the development cycle, the Group has to allocate site-wide development
costs between units being built and/or completed in the current year and those for future years. It also has
to forecast the costs to complete on such developments.
In making such assessments and allocations in determining each development\u2019s site margin which is used
to estimate cost of sales when revenue is recognised for each unit, there is a degree of inherent estimation
uncertainty. In particular this is due to the need to take account of future direct input costs, sales prices and
the need to allocate all site-wide costs on an appropriate basis to reflect the overall level of development
risk, including planning risk. The Group has established internal controls designed to effectively assess
and centrally review inventory carrying values and ensure the appropriateness of the estimates made.
These assessments and allocations evolve over the life of the development in line with the risk profile, and
accordingly the margin recognised reflects these evolving estimates. Similarly, these estimates impact the
carrying value of inventory at each reporting date as this is a function of costs incurred in the year and the
allocation of inventory to costs of sales on each property sold.
An increase or decrease to estimated costs recognised in the year, by virtue of a 1% change to forecast
development margin, would lead to a change in cost of sales and inventory of \u00a317.4 million in the current
financial year (2025: \u00a317.6 million). This sensitivity is based on a reasonably possible scenario and is
provided in the absence of a change to any other factor affecting future gross margins on the Group\u2019s
developments, such as a change in future sales prices.
In addition, the Group has consistently applied its approach to margin recognition in relation to the Group\u2019s
particularly complex, long-term regeneration developments where whole-site costs are accelerated to the
early stages of the development to reflect the greater uncertainty and the evolution of risk over the life
of such developments. These developments, where the development life cycle is typically greater than
10 years, are considered to be particularly susceptible to potential downward shifts in profitability due to
the cyclical nature of the property market and its impact on both revenue and costs. As such, the inherent
estimation uncertainty is increased.
A fundamental principle of the Group\u2019s accounting policy is to reduce the possibility of recognising margin
in the early stages of a development that could subsequently reverse. As such, for these long-term sites
with greatest estimation uncertainty, a greater proportion of whole-site costs is recognised during the
earlier stages of the development up to a point of inflection when such developments are deemed to be
sufficiently derisked. Subsequent to this inflection point, and should the uncertainties have not materialised,
margin would increase as the visibility over projected revenue and costs across the development improves.
As at 30 April 2026, the greater proportion of whole-site costs recognised in either the current or previous
financial years during the earlier stages of the development for the Group\u2019s particularly complex, long-
term sites amounted to 4% (2025: 4%) of the future estimated revenue for the specific sites. As with all
judgements involving estimation over a long-term horizon, the outcome of future events may affect the
eventual accounting outcome.
Trade and other payables on normal terms are not interest bearing and are stated at their nominal value
which is considered to be their fair value. Trade payables on extended terms are recorded at their fair value
at the date of acquisition of the asset to which they relate. The discount to nominal value is amortised over
the period of the credit term and charged to finance costs.
Deferred revenue relates to consideration received in advance of units being delivered. Revenue is
recognised in the Income Statement as control is passed to the customer, which has either been determined
as the point of legal completion or, on contracts where the customer controls the property during
construction, over time with reference to the stage of completion.
The Group makes assumptions to determine the timing and its best estimate of the quantum of its
construction and other liabilities for which provisions are held.
Provisions include a best estimate of the expected value of its post completion development obligations in
respect of the construction of the Group\u2019s portfolio of complex mixed use property developments which are
expected to be incurred in the ordinary course of business, based on historical experience of the Group\u2019s
sites and current site-specific risks, including matters relating to building fire-safety, but which are uncertain
in terms of timing and quantum. Provisions are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
The Group continually reviews the identified risks that it is aware of for the Group\u2019s portfolio of
developments to ensure that the amount of the provision remains appropriate. The increase in the year
relates to post completion items on a number of sites including matters relating to building fire-safety. The
Group continually reviews its utilisation of this provision and in recognition that the risk of post completion
development obligations reduces over time, releases any unutilised provision to the Income Statement on a
systematic basis across the 10 years following completion.
If costs estimated in the provisions are overstated or understated by 10%, this would lead to a change in
cost of sales and provision of \u00a322.6 million in the current financial year (2025: \u00a323.0 million).

Group accounting policies
The significant Group accounting policies are included within the relevant notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements on pages 184 to 225. The accounting policies set out have been applied consistently
to all periods presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements, except for depreciation on investment
property which applies to the current financial year.
Revenue represents the amounts receivable from the sale of properties, comprising private and affordable
residential homes and commercial properties, ground rent assets and other income directly associated with
residential property development.
For the significant majority of residential and commercial property sales, properties are treated as sold
and profits and revenues are recognised when all performance obligations under the contract have been
satisfied, following which control of the unit is passed to the customer. This is determined as the point of
legal completion.
Where revenue arises on contracts where the customer controls the property during construction and for
which the Group has a right to payment for work performed, the Group recognises revenue over time.
Revenue and costs are recognised with reference to the stage of completion of the contract, measured by
construction progress.
Ground rent and land assets are treated as sold when contracts are exchanged, all material conditions
precedent to the sale have been satisfied and control of the assets has passed to the customer.
Operating segments are identified in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker. The Group determines its reportable segments having regard to permitted
aggregation criteria with the principal condition being that the operating segments should have similar
economic characteristics.
The Group is engaged in residential-led, mixed use property development, comprising for-sale private and
affordable residential revenue and commercial revenue, alongside a Build to Rent platform that is operated
and managed internally.
Expenditure recorded in inventory is expensed through cost of sales at the time of the related property
sale. The amount of cost related to each property includes its share of the overall site costs including, where
relevant, its share of forecast costs to complete. See inventories Note 2.13 for further disclosures on the key
estimates and judgements around cost recognition.
Net operating expenditure is recognised in respect of goods and services received when supplied in
accordance with contractual terms. Provision is made when an obligation exists for a future liability in
respect of a past event and where the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.
Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the
conditions attached to them and the grants will be received. Grants related to assets are deducted from
the carrying value of the asset, and are recognised in the Income Statement so as to match with the related
costs they are intended to compensate for.
Where the Company operates equity settled share based compensation plans, the fair value of the
employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The total
amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options
granted, taking into account only service and non-market conditions.
At each Balance Sheet date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to
vest. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the Income Statement, with a
corresponding adjustment to equity.
The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital
(nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.
The cost of cash settled transactions is recognised as an expense over the vesting period measured by reference to the fair value of the corresponding liability which is recognised on the Statement of Financial Position. The liability is remeasured at fair value at each Balance Sheet date until settlement with changes in fair value recognised in the Income Statement. The Group accounts for pensions under IAS 19 \u2018Employee Benefits\u2019. The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. The defined benefit plan was closed to future accrual with effect from 1 April 2007. For the defined benefit scheme, the obligations are measured using the projected unit credit method. The calculation of the net obligation is performed by a qualified actuary. The operating and financing costs of these plans are recognised separately in the Income Statement; service costs are set annually on the basis of actuarial valuations of the scheme and financing costs are recognised in the period in which they arise. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Pension contributions under defined contribution schemes are charged to the Income Statement as they fall due.
The Group applies IAS 12 \u2018Income Taxes\u2019 in accounting for taxes on income. Income tax payable on taxable
profits (current tax) is recognised as an expense in the periods in which the profits arise.
The taxation expense represents the sum of current tax payable, including Residential Property Developer
Tax (\u2018RPDT\u2019), and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are provided at the amounts expected to be
paid (or received) using the tax rules and laws that have been enacted, or substantially enacted, by the
reporting date.
Basic earnings per share (EPS) are calculated as the profit for the financial year attributable to shareholders of
the Group divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year.
Where the cost of acquiring new and additional interests in subsidiaries and businesses exceeds the fair
value of the net assets acquired, the resulting premium on acquisition (goodwill) is capitalised and its
subsequent measurement is based on annual impairment reviews and impairment reviews performed
where an impairment indicator exists, with any impairment losses recognised immediately in the Income
Statement. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The
allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to
benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
Land and buildings being developed or held to generate capital appreciation and to earn rental income are
recognised as investment properties. Investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses. Once the asset is ready for use, depreciation is provided to write off the cost of the
assets on a straight line basis to the residual values over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:
Land not depreciated
Structure 100 years
Plant, machinery and electrical 30 years
Fixtures and fittings 25 years
Furniture 7 years
Any gain or loss on the disposal of investment property is recognised in profit or loss.
For disclosure purposes, the fair value of the investment property is assessed annually at the reporting date,
based on internal valuations. The fair value reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases
and other assumptions that market participants would use when pricing investment property under current
market conditions.
Property, plant and equipment is carried at historic purchase cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost
includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its
working condition for its intended use. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of the assets on a
straight line basis to their residual value over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:
Freehold buildings 25\u201350 years
Fixtures, fittings and equipment 3\u201312 years
Motor vehicles 4 years
Freehold property disclosed in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements consists of both freehold
land and freehold buildings. No depreciation is provided on freehold land. Computer equipment is included
within fixtures and fittings. The assets\u2019 residual values, carrying values and useful lives are reviewed on an
annual basis and adjusted if appropriate at each Balance Sheet date. Where an impairment is identified, the
recoverable amount of the asset is identified and an impairment loss, where appropriate, is recognised in
the Income Statement.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets\u2019 carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to
the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is
derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Income Statement during the financial
period in which they are incurred.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are
recognised within net operating expenses in the Income Statement.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted
using the Group\u2019s incremental borrowing rate. The Group determines the borrowing rate from external
financing sources and adjusts this to reflect the term of the lease and the type of assets subject to
the lease. The lease term comprises the non-cancellable period of the contract, together with periods
covered by an option to extend the lease where the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
Subsequently, the lease liability is measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the
lease liability, and reducing it by the lease payments made. The lease liability is remeasured when the Group
changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or termination option.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, comprising the initial measurement of the lease liability,
plus any initial direct costs and an estimate of asset retirement obligations, less any lease incentives.
Subsequently, right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses, and are adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the length of the lease.
The Group has elected to apply exemptions for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset
is of low value. For these leases, payments are charged to the Income Statement on a straight line basis
over the term of the relevant lease.
Right-of-use assets are presented separately in non-current assets on the face of the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position and lease liabilities are shown separately on the Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position in current liabilities and non-current liabilities depending on the length of the lease term.
Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are initially
recognised at cost. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Group\u2019s share of the total comprehensive
income and equity movements of equity accounted investees, from the date that joint control commences until
the date that joint control ceases. When the Group\u2019s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted
investee, the Group\u2019s carrying amount is reduced to \u00a3nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except
to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of an
investee. For loans to joint ventures, the Group assesses at each reporting date, the value of the loans against
future cash flows. For any credit losses, the carrying value of the asset is reduced through the write-off of the
loan amounts recognised in the Income Statement within share of profit or loss in joint ventures. Management
fees received and other recharges to joint ventures are recorded in the Income Statement.
Property in the course of development and completed units are valued at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Direct cost comprises the cost of land, material and development costs but excludes
indirect overheads. Provision is made, where appropriate, to reduce the value of inventories and work in
progress to their net realisable value.
Land purchased for development, including land in the course of development, is initially recorded at cost.
Where such land is purchased on deferred settlement terms, and the cost differs from the amount that
will subsequently be paid in settling the liability, this difference is charged as a finance cost in the Income
Statement over the period to settlement.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Expected credit losses are based on
the difference between the contracted cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash
flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted on an approximation of the original effective interest
rate. For trade receivables the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss
allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. The carrying amount of the asset
is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Income
Statement within net operating expenses. When a trade receivable is not collectible, it is written off against
the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are
credited against net operating expense in the Income Statement.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances in hand and at the bank, including bank overdrafts
repayable on demand which form part of the Group\u2019s cash management, for which offset arrangements
across Group businesses have been applied where appropriate.
New property deposits and on account contract receipts are held within current trade and other payables.
Deposits and on account contract receipts are non-refundable and are recorded as a liability on receipt.
They are released to the Income Statement, as revenue, upon legal completion.
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past
events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle that obligation, and the
amount has been reliably estimated.
Deferred taxation is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and corresponding tax bases used in the
computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the Balance Sheet liability method. Deferred tax
liabilities are generally recognised on all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised
to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary
differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises
from goodwill, or from the initial recognition (except in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities
in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit, or from differences relating to
investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred taxation is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is
settled or the asset is realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted
at the Balance Sheet date. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet
date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available
against which taxable temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred taxation is charged or credited to the
Income Statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to reserves, in which case
the deferred taxation is also dealt with in reserves.
Deferred taxation assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxation assets and liabilities relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities
where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Where any Group company purchases the Company\u2019s equity share capital (treasury shares), the
consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted
from equity attributable to the Company\u2019s equity holders until the shares are cancelled, sold or reissued.
Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly
attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity
attributable to the Company\u2019s equity holders.
Dividend distributions to shareholders are recognised as a liability in the period in which the dividends are
appropriately authorised and approved for payout and are no longer at the discretion of the Company.
Unpaid dividends that do not meet these criteria are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Any difference between
the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the Income Statement
over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

1.2\u2002Going concern
The Directors have assessed the business plan and funding requirements of the Group over the medium-
term and compared these with the level of committed debt facilities and existing cash resources. As at
30 April 2026, the Group had net cash of \u00a3363 million and total liquidity of \u00a31,563 million when this net cash
is combined with banking facilities of \u00a3800 million (committed to February 2029) and \u00a3400 million of listed
bonds (which mature in August 2031). Furthermore, the Group has cash due on forward sales of \u00a31,006 million,
a significant proportion of which covers delivery for the next 18 months.
After the year end, the Group extended the banking facility to \u00a31.0 billion, comprising a \u00a3240 million Term Loan,
which is fully drawn bearing interest at a rate linked to SONIA, and a \u00a3760 million Revolving Credit Facility
(RCF) which remains undrawn. These banking facilities are in place to June 2031 with two one-year extensions
taking the facility to June 2033. See Note 2.27 on page 218.
In making this assessment, consideration has been given to the uncertainty inherent in future financial forecasts
and where applicable, severe but plausible sensitivities have been applied to the key factors affecting the
financial performance of the Group. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these
Consolidated Financial Statements. For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements.

1.3\u2002Consideration of climate change
In preparing the Financial Statements, consideration has been given to the Group\u2019s activities to address climate
change as part of Our Vision and its assessment and reporting of future climate-related transitional and
physical risks under the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (\u2018TCFD\u2019) framework, both of which
are set out in the Strategic Report.
The costs incurred in developing the Group\u2019s sites are held in inventory as these are trading in nature and
are therefore taken through cost of sales to match the revenue generated by the sale of properties on each
development. The recognition of cost of sales, and therefore the carrying value of inventory, during a financial
year is made by reference to the latest assessment of each development\u2019s forecast profit margin, which is a key
area of estimation uncertainty as set out in Note 2.13.
The cost of specific climate change related activities undertaken as part of the development of a site is
inherently difficult to disassociate from other input costs as these typically involve a myriad of inter-related
design and construction based solutions, for instance over the selection of key materials and technologies
adopted to reduce embodied carbon and minimise future energy use of the Group\u2019s occupied homes. In turn,
these activities are regulated by prevailing planning and building regulations requirements.
The future cost estimates used to determine the cost of sales recognition during the financial year inherently
reflect the Group\u2019s current development-specific climate-related actions through its cost plans. Consistent with
the inherently higher cost uncertainty of its longer-term developments from evolving regulatory and other
market-led changes, the Group may incur as yet unknown costs associated with its own future climate-related
actions as well as costs arising from the impact of climate change. As set out in Note 2.13, the Group\u2019s cost
assessments and allocations evolve over the life of each development.

1.4\u2002Basis of consolidation
(a)\u2002Subsidiaries
The Consolidated Financial Statements comprise the financial statements of the Parent Company and all its
subsidiary undertakings. The accounting date for subsidiary undertakings is 30 April, unless otherwise stated in
Note 2.28.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has
rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through
its power over the entity. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration substantive rights that are
currently exercisable. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. The
financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that
control commences until the date that control ceases. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a
subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to
have a deficit balance.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiary undertakings by the Group.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting
policies used in line with those used by the Group. All intra-Group transactions, balances, income and expenses
are eliminated on consolidation. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
(b)\u2002Joint ventures
Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are initially
recognised at cost.
The Group\u2019s investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Group\u2019s share of the total comprehensive income and
equity movements of equity accounted investees, from the date that joint control commences until the date
that joint control ceases. When the Group\u2019s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee,
the Group\u2019s carrying amount is reduced to \u00a3nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the
extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of an investee.

The value of inventories expensed and included in the cost of sales is \u00a31,737.6 million (2025: \u00a31,756.5 million). Government grants of \u00a340.7 million (2025: \u00a338.9 million) were received in the year and the prior year relating to the provision of highway and other site infrastructure, for which all performance conditions were satisfied. This amount is netted against inventory and no amount has been recorded in the Income Statement during the year (2025: \u00a3nil). Fees incurred in the year to the Group\u2019s current auditor for audit and non-audit related assurance services relate to the interim review and assurance services related to carbon emissions and compliance with the Green Finance Framework. Profit before taxation in the 2025 financial year includes an accrual for the settlement of the CMA\u2019s investigation into possible anti-competitive sharing of information in the housebuilding industry. 2.13\u2002Inventories Property in the course of development and completed units are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Direct cost comprises the cost of land, material and development costs but excludes indirect overheads. Provision is made, where appropriate, to reduce the value of inventories and work in progress to their net realisable value. Land purchased for development, including land in the course of development, is initially recorded at cost. Where such land is purchased on deferred settlement terms, and the cost differs from the amount that will subsequently be paid in settling the liability, this difference is charged as a finance cost in the Income Statement over the period to settlement. As residential development is largely speculative by nature, not all inventories are covered by forward sales contracts. Furthermore, due to the nature of the Group\u2019s activity and in particular, the scale of its developments and the length of the development cycle, the Group has to allocate site-wide development costs between units being built and/or completed in the current year and those for future years. It also has to forecast the costs to complete on such developments. In making such assessments and allocations in determining each development\u2019s site margin which is used to estimate cost of sales when revenue is recognised for each unit, there is a degree of inherent estimation uncertainty. In particular this is due to the need to take account of future direct input costs, sales prices and the need to allocate all site-wide costs on an appropriate basis to reflect the overall level of development risk, including planning risk. The Group has established internal controls designed to effectively assess and centrally review inventory carrying values and ensure the appropriateness of the estimates made. These assessments and allocations evolve over the life of the development in line with the risk profile, and accordingly the margin recognised reflects these evolving estimates. Similarly, these estimates impact the carrying value of inventory at each reporting date as this is a function of costs incurred in the year and the allocation of inventory to costs of sales on each property sold. An increase or decrease to estimated costs recognised in the year, by virtue of a 1% change to forecast development margin, would lead to a change in cost of sales and inventory of \u00a317.4 million in the current financial year (2025: \u00a317.6 million). This sensitivity is based on a reasonably possible scenario and is provided in the absence of a change to any other factor affecting future gross margins on the Group\u2019s developments, such as a change in future sales prices. In addition, the Group has consistently applied its approach to margin recognition in relation to the Group\u2019s particularly complex, long-term regeneration developments where whole-site costs are accelerated to the early stages of the development to reflect the greater uncertainty and the evolution of risk over the life of such developments. These developments, where the development life cycle is typically greater than 10 years, are considered to be particularly susceptible to potential downward shifts in profitability due to the cyclical nature of the property market and its impact on both revenue and costs. As such, the inherent estimation uncertainty is increased. A fundamental principle of the Group\u2019s accounting policy is to reduce the possibility of recognising margin in the early stages of a development that could subsequently reverse. As such, for these long-term sites with greatest estimation uncertainty, a greater proportion of whole-site costs is recognised during the earlier stages of the development up to a point of inflection when such developments are deemed to be sufficiently derisked. Subsequent to this inflection point, and should the uncertainties have not materialised, margin would increase as the visibility over projected revenue and costs across the development improves. As at 30 April 2026, the greater proportion of whole-site costs recognised in either the current or previous financial years during the earlier stages of the development for the Group\u2019s particularly complex, long- term sites amounted to 4% (2025: 4%) of the future estimated revenue for the specific sites. As with all judgements involving estimation over a long-term horizon, the outcome of future events may affect the eventual accounting outcome.

Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of the assets on a straight line basis to their residual value over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates: Freehold buildings 25\u201350 years Fixtures, fittings and equipment 3\u201312 years Motor vehicles 4 years Freehold property disclosed in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements consists of both freehold land and freehold buildings. No depreciation is provided on freehold land. Computer equipment is included within fixtures and fittings. The assets\u2019 residual values, carrying values and useful lives are reviewed on an annual basis and adjusted if appropriate at each Balance Sheet date. Where an impairment is identified, the recoverable amount of the asset is identified and an impairment loss, where appropriate, is recognised in the Income Statement. Subsequent costs are included in the assets\u2019 carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Income Statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within net operating expenses in the Income Statement.

The charge/(credit) to the Income Statement in respect of share based payments in the year relating to grants of share options awarded are: \u2014 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2011 LTIP) credit of \u00a30.2 million (2025: \u00a30.4 million) \u2014 2022 Long-Term Option Plan (2022 LTOP) charge of \u00a33.0 million (2025: \u00a33.2 million) \u2014 Restrictive Share Plan (RSP) credit of \u00a30.6 million (2025: charge of \u00a32.0 million) The charge to the Income Statement attributable to key management was \u00a31.0 million (2025: \u00a32.1 million). The charge to the reserves during the year in respect of employee share schemes was \u00a34.2 million (2025: \u00a32.6 million), resulting from the non-cash IFRS 2 charge for the year. There were nil exercisable share options at the end of the year (2025: nil). During the year: \u2014 413,528 options vested under the 2011 LTIP, completing the scheme (2025: 377,612) and 1,637,850 banked options lapsed (2025: nil) \u2014 Nil options vested under the 2022 LTOP (2025: nil) and 135,000 options lapsed (2025: 200,000) \u2014 Nil options vested under the RSP (2025: nil) and no options lapsed (2025: nil)
2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan
The 2011 LTIP was approved by shareholders at the 2011 AGM. The 2011 LTIP is designed to incentivise
management to both deliver long-term shareholder returns and create value in the ongoing business. Under the
plan eligible employees are granted options which will only vest if certain performance conditions are satisfied.
The plan ran for 14 years, with the final options vested in September 2025, marking the vesting of the tenth and
final tranche of the 2011 LTIP. The original scheme was due to run until September 2021, but at the 2019 AGM
the scheme was extended, for eligible employees, by four years to September 2025.
The amount of options that vest is dependent on a shareholder return hurdle and, for certain employees, the
remuneration caps in place. Each year options can vest up to the value of their remuneration cap. Any options
prevented from vesting due to the caps are banked, and vest in equal tranches from September 2022 to 2025.
Additional returns equivalent to \u00a32 per annum (approximately \u00a3283 million) must be returned to shareholders
from 2022 to 2025 in order for the banked options to vest.
Options granted under the plan are for nil consideration and carry no dividend or voting rights. The original
option price was \u00a316.34, which equated to \u00a32.3 billion of shareholder return that needed to be returned to
shareholders over the original term of the LTIP to 2021. The option price for each tranche was reduced by the
value of dividend paid each year, but fixed at 30 September 2021 for subsequent tranches vesting in 2022 to
2025. The fixed option price for tranches vesting from September 2022 to 2025 is \u00a35.30.
Sale restrictions are in place which provide a maximum of 10% of the cumulative balance of the shares earned
to be sold each year.

Fair value of 2011 LTIP options
The assessed fair value of the original options granted, determined using the current market pricing model, was
\u00a33.17. The inputs into the current market pricing model were as follows:

Modifications to the 2011 LTIP, approved at the 2019 AGM, were considered to be non-beneficial due to the
extended service period and requirement for additional shareholder returns. Therefore, there was no impact on
the fair value of the options or accounting treatment applied.
2022 Long-Term Option Plan (LTOP)
The LTOP was approved by shareholders at the 2022 AGM. The LTOP is designed to ensure the remuneration
policy is as closely aligned to the Company\u2019s strategy as possible and rewards management for enhancing value for
shareholders over the long term. Under the plan, eligible employees are awarded a one-off grant of options with an
initial exercise price of \u00a348.50. Participation in the plan is at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee.
Vesting will occur in five equal tranches between September 2026 and September 2030, with a holding
restriction of at least five years from grant.
The initial exercise price of the options increases by \u00a32.50 per year for vesting dates from September 2027 onwards.
As such, the exercise price for the options granted (prior to deductions for dividends as referenced below) is as

Restrictive Share Plan (\u2018RSP\u2019)
The RSP was approved by shareholders at the 2022 AGM. The RSP is designed to incentivise management
to deliver long-term performance. The RSP is an annual restrictive share award with the first awards granted
in September 2022, vesting in 2026 with a further one-year holding period. Participation in the plan is at the
discretion of the Remuneration Committee.
Annual awards are determined by the Remuneration Committee, however the maximum number of shares
under the RSP awards granted to participants will not exceed 175% of the salary of the CEO and 150% of the
salary of all other participating employees.
The vesting of awards is subject to remaining in service and the following two underpin conditions:
(i) The average Return on Equity over the four prior financial years must be at least 15%, commencing with the
financial year in which the RSP Awards are granted; and
(ii) Up to 20% of the award will be forfeited in the event of unsatisfactory progress against strategic and ESG
priorities over the relevant vesting period.
The vesting of awards is restricted to the level of each employee\u2019s remuneration cap. The remuneration cap is
first applied to the 2022 LTOP to the extent that total remuneration would exceed the cap, followed by the RSP
if required. Any RSP awards in excess of the total remuneration cap will lapse immediately.

Fair value of RSPs
The fair values of RSP awards are equal to the share price at grant as these awards are not subject to market-
based performance conditions and they attract dividend equivalents. The values are fixed at grant.
Cash settled share based payments
The cost of cash settled transactions is recognised as an expense over the vesting period measured by
reference to the fair value of the corresponding liability which is recognised on the Statement of Financial
Position. The liability is remeasured at fair value at each Balance Sheet date until settlement with changes in
fair value recognised in the Income Statement.
Performance Share Plan (PSP)
The PSP was approved by shareholders at the 2025 AGM. The PSP is designed to provide long-term retention
and alignment of Executive Directors\u2019 interests with Shareholders. Participation in the plan is at the discretion
of the Remuneration Committee.
Under the PSP, awards will take the form of either:
(i) A conditional right to receive Shares which will be automatically transferred to the Participant following
vesting (a \u2018Conditional Award\u2019); or
(ii) A nil or nominal-cost option, exercisable by the Participant following vesting during a permitted exercise
period (extending not later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant) (an \u2018Option\u2019), and
(iii) attract dividend equivalents.
The maximum market value of the Shares over which a Participant may be granted an Award under the PSP
in any financial year shall not exceed an amount equal to 400 per cent of the Participant\u2019s gross annual basic
salary as at the date of grant.
The PSP is the grant of conditional share awards which vest after three years, subject to performance and
continued employment. The performance measures and targets for the 2025 PSP awards are set out in the
table below. The performance period is the three-year performance period ending on 30 April 2028, and
awards will vest subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions, on the third anniversary of grant.
Following vesting, shares are subject to a further two-year holding period. The vesting of awards is restricted
to the level of each employee\u2019s remuneration cap.

On 17 September 2025, a total of 202,535 nil-cost options were awarded, at a share price of 3,704p. Subject to
the satisfaction of performance conditions, the awards will vest three years from date of grant being

The liability is accrued over the vesting period. The Income Statement is charged with an estimate for the
vesting of the \u2018conditional award\u2019 awarded subject to service and non-market performance conditions.
The charge to the Income Statement in respect of share based payments in the year relating to the PSP was
\u00a31.0 million (2025: \u00a3nil), of which \u00a30.7 million (2025: \u00a3nil) was attributable to key management. As at 30 April
2026, the total carrying amount of the liability based on the closing share price is \u00a31.0 million (2025: \u00a3nil),
recorded in accruals. See Note 2.16.

The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. The defined benefit plan was closed to future accrual with effect from 1 April 2007. For the defined benefit scheme, the obligations are measured using the projected unit credit method. The calculation of the net obligation is performed by a qualified actuary. The operating and financing costs of these plans are recognised separately in the Income Statement; service costs are set annually on the basis of actuarial valuations of the scheme and financing costs are recognised in the period in which they arise. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Pension contributions under defined contribution schemes are charged to the Income Statement as they fall due. Defined contribution plan Contributions amounting to \u00a315.3 million (2025: \u00a314.2 million) were paid into the defined contribution schemes during the year. There were \u00a32.6 million of contributions outstanding to the scheme at 30 April 2026 (2025: \u00a32.7 million). Defined benefit plan As at 30 April 2026, the Group operated one defined benefit pension scheme which was closed to future accrual with effect from 1 April 2007. This is a separate Trustee administered fund holding the pension plan assets to meet long-term pension liabilities for some 154 past employees. The level of retirement benefit is principally based on salary earned in the last three years of employment prior to leaving active service and is linked to changes in inflation up to retirement. The Berkeley Final Salary Plan is subject to an independent actuarial valuation at least every three years. The triennial independent actuarial valuation is underway as at 30 April 2025, with finalisation due by 31 July 2026. The current valuation was carried out as at 30 April 2022 and finalised on 30 June 2023. The method adopted in the 2022 valuation was the projected unit credit method, which assumed no allowance for over performance on investments both prior to and after retirement and inflation linked pension increases derived at each term using Black Scholes Methodology with a volatility assumption of 1.40% per annum. The market value of the Berkeley Final Salary Plan assets as at 1 May 2025 was \u00a322.9 million and covered 117% of the scheme\u2019s liabilities. The Group made no additional voluntary contributions during the year (2025: \u00a30.4 million). Following the High Court ruling on 26 October 2018, regarding the equalisation of Guaranteed Minimum Pension (\u2018GMP\u2019) benefit, the plan was required to adjust benefits to remove the inequalities between the GMP benefits awarded to males and females. On 20 November 2020, the High Court issued a supplementary ruling in respect of GMP equalisation with regard to members who transferred out of the scheme prior to the ruling. The plan has not yet completed a full review of the impact of GMP equalisation and no additional costs have been recognised during the year (2025: \u00a3nil). In prior years an amount of \u00a30.7 million has been allowed as a past service cost. Following the High Court ruling and decision handed down by the Court of Appeal on the Virgin Media Ltd v NTL Pension Trustees II case, regarding the implications of the requirement under section 37 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 to obtain written actuarial confirmation (section 37 confirmation) to rule alterations of contracted-out benefits (known as section 9(2B) rights) between 6 April 1997 and 5 April 2016, the government announced that it would legislate to address the issues arising from the case. The government included provisions in the Pension Schemes Bill which are intended to address the issues arising and to provide a statutory solution to \u2018potentially remediable alterations\u2019 that required section 37 confirmation. The Pension Schemes Bill received Royal Assent on 29 April 2026, officially becoming law as the Pension Schemes Act 2026. The Act introduced a number of measures affecting the governance and operation of UK occupational pension schemes. In particular, the trustee has considered the potential impact of the new legislative framework on the Virgin Media Ltd v NTL Pension Trustees II Ltd decision. At the date of signing these financial statements, the trustee is reviewing the Scheme\u2019s historical documentation and amendment processes in light of the Virgin Media ruling. While this review is ongoing, it is not currently possible to quantify the potential impact, if any, on the Scheme\u2019s liabilities. The trustee will take appropriate legal and actuarial advice and, where necessary, implement remedial actions to ensure compliance.
For the purpose of IAS 19, the 2022 valuation was updated for 30 April 2026.
The most significant risks to which the plan exposes the Group are as follows:
\u2014 Inflation risk: A rise in inflation rates will lead to higher plan liabilities as a large proportion of the defined
benefit obligation is indexed in line with price inflation. This effect will be limited due to caps on inflationary
increases to protect the plan against extreme inflation.
\u2014 Investment risk: There is a risk that future investment performance fails to generate expected returns.
\u2014 Employer covenant risk: There is a risk that the strength of the employer covenant materially weakens which
may impact the ability to support the fund.
\u2014 Mortality risk: An increase in life expectancy would result in an increase to plan liabilities as a significant
proportion of the pension schemes\u2019 obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the member.

Actuarial assumptions
The major assumptions used by the actuary for the 30 April 2026 valuation were as follows:
30 April 30 April
2026 2025
Discount rate
6.05%
5.55%
Inflation assumption (RPI)

2.85%
Rate of increase in pensions in payment post 97 (pre-97 receive 3% p.a. increases)

The mortality assumptions are the standard S3PMA/S3PFA_M CMI_2024_X (1.0%) (2025: S3PMA/S3PFA_M
CMI_2023_X (1.0%)) base table for males and females, both adjusted for each individual\u2019s year of birth to allow
for future improvements in mortality rates. The life expectancy of male and female pensioners (now aged 65)
retiring at age 65 on the Balance Sheet date is 21.2 years and 23.0 years respectively (2025: 20.8 and 22.8 years
respectively). The life expectancy of male and female deferred pensioners (now aged 45) retiring at age 65
after the Balance Sheet date is 22.1 years and 24.1 years respectively (2025: 21.7 and 24.0 years respectively).
Sensitivity analysis
The calculation of the defined benefit obligation is sensitive to the assumptions set out above. The following
table summarises how the impact on the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period would
have increased/(decreased) as a result of a change in the respective assumptions.
Change in

Rate of inflation

\u00a30.4m
These calculations provide an approximate guide to the sensitivity of results and may not be as accurate as a
full valuation carried out on these assumptions. In practice, changes in some of the assumptions are correlated
and so each assumption change is unlikely to occur in isolation, as shown above.

Defined benefit plan
As at 30 April 2026, the Group operated one defined benefit pension scheme which was closed to future
accrual with effect from 1 April 2007. This is a separate Trustee administered fund holding the pension plan
assets to meet long-term pension liabilities for some 154 past employees. The level of retirement benefit is
principally based on salary earned in the last three years of employment prior to leaving active service and is
linked to changes in inflation up to retirement.
The Berkeley Final Salary Plan is subject to an independent actuarial valuation at least every three years. The
triennial independent actuarial valuation is underway as at 30 April 2025, with finalisation due by 31 July 2026.
The current valuation was carried out as at 30 April 2022 and finalised on 30 June 2023. The method adopted
in the 2022 valuation was the projected unit credit method, which assumed no allowance for over performance
on investments both prior to and after retirement and inflation linked pension increases derived at each term
using Black Scholes Methodology with a volatility assumption of 1.40% per annum. The market value of the
Berkeley Final Salary Plan assets as at 1 May 2025 was \u00a322.9 million and covered 117% of the scheme\u2019s liabilities.
The Group made no additional voluntary contributions during the year (2025: \u00a30.4 million).
Following the High Court ruling on 26 October 2018, regarding the equalisation of Guaranteed Minimum
Pension (\u2018GMP\u2019) benefit, the plan was required to adjust benefits to remove the inequalities between the GMP
benefits awarded to males and females. On 20 November 2020, the High Court issued a supplementary ruling
in respect of GMP equalisation with regard to members who transferred out of the scheme prior to the ruling.
The plan has not yet completed a full review of the impact of GMP equalisation and no additional costs have
been recognised during the year (2025: \u00a3nil). In prior years an amount of \u00a30.7 million has been allowed as a
past service cost.
Following the High Court ruling and decision handed down by the Court of Appeal on the Virgin Media Ltd v
NTL Pension Trustees II case, regarding the implications of the requirement under section 37 of the Pension
Schemes Act 1993 to obtain written actuarial confirmation (section 37 confirmation) to rule alterations of
contracted-out benefits (known as section 9(2B) rights) between 6 April 1997 and 5 April 2016, the government
announced that it would legislate to address the issues arising from the case. The government included
provisions in the Pension Schemes Bill which are intended to address the issues arising and to provide a
statutory solution to \u2018potentially remediable alterations\u2019 that required section 37 confirmation. The Pension
Schemes Bill received Royal Assent on 29 April 2026, officially becoming law as the Pension Schemes Act 2026.
The Act introduced a number of measures affecting the governance and operation of UK occupational pension
schemes. In particular, the trustee has considered the potential impact of the new legislative framework on the
Virgin Media Ltd v NTL Pension Trustees II Ltd decision. At the date of signing these financial statements, the
trustee is reviewing the Scheme\u2019s historical documentation and amendment processes in light of the Virgin
Media ruling. While this review is ongoing, it is not currently possible to quantify the potential impact, if any,
on the Scheme\u2019s liabilities. The trustee will take appropriate legal and actuarial advice and, where necessary,
implement remedial actions to ensure compliance.
For the purpose of IAS 19, the 2022 valuation was updated for 30 April 2026. The most significant risks to which the plan exposes the Group are as follows: \u2014 Inflation risk: A rise in inflation rates will lead to higher plan liabilities as a large proportion of the defined benefit obligation is indexed in line with price inflation. This effect will be limited due to caps on inflationary increases to protect the plan against extreme inflation. \u2014 Investment risk: There is a risk that future investment performance fails to generate expected returns. \u2014 Employer covenant risk: There is a risk that the strength of the employer covenant materially weakens which may impact the ability to support the fund. \u2014 Mortality risk: An increase in life expectancy would result in an increase to plan liabilities as a significant proportion of the pension schemes\u2019 obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the member.

The mortality assumptions are the standard S3PMA/S3PFA_M CMI_2024_X (1.0%) (2025: S3PMA/S3PFA_M CMI_2023_X (1.0%)) base table for males and females, both adjusted for each individual\u2019s year of birth to allow for future improvements in mortality rates. The life expectancy of male and female pensioners (now aged 65) retiring at age 65 on the Balance Sheet date is 21.2 years and 23.0 years respectively (2025: 20.8 and 22.8 years respectively). The life expectancy of male and female deferred pensioners (now aged 45) retiring at age 65 after the Balance Sheet date is 22.1 years and 24.1 years respectively (2025: 21.7 and 24.0 years respectively). Sensitivity analysis The calculation of the defined benefit obligation is sensitive to the assumptions set out above. The following table summarises how the impact on the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period would have increased/(decreased) as a result of a change in the respective assumptions.

\u00a30.4m
These calculations provide an approximate guide to the sensitivity of results and may not be as accurate as a full valuation carried out on these assumptions. In practice, changes in some of the assumptions are correlated and so each assumption change is unlikely to occur in isolation, as shown above.

The taxation expense represents the sum of current tax payable, including Residential Property Developer Tax (\u2018RPDT\u2019), and deferred tax.

The Group has an overall tax charge for the year of \u00a3133.1 million (2025: \u00a3146.9 million) including UK current tax payable of \u00a3103.9 million (2025: \u00a3123.5 million). The effective tax rate for the year is 29.5% (2025: 27.8%). In December 2021, the OECD published its proposals in relation to Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules, which provide for an internationally coordinated system of taxation to ensure that large multinational groups pay a minimum level of corporate income tax in countries in which they operate. The UK Finance (No. 2) Act 2023, which implements Pillar Two, was enacted by the UK Government on 11 July 2023. Owing to its size and multinational operations, the Berkeley Group is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules for the accounting period 30 April 2025 onwards. The Group has undertaken a review and expects to meet the transitional safe harbour provisions meaning the top up tax will not be payable. There is no impact on the Group\u2019s results for the year ended 30 April 2026 (30 April 2025: \u00a3nil). The Group applies the exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes, as provided in the amendments to IAS 12. 2.18\u2002Deferred tax Deferred taxation is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the Balance Sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised on all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill, or from the initial recognition (except in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit, or from differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred taxation is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which taxable temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred taxation is charged or credited to the Income Statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to reserves, in which case the deferred taxation is also dealt with in reserves. Deferred taxation assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxation assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Deferred tax is calculated in full on temporary differences at the tax rates that are expected to apply for the
period when the asset is realised and the liability is settled.
All deferred tax assets are available for offset against deferred tax liabilities and hence the net deferred tax
asset at 30 April 2026 is \u00a361.6 million (2025: \u00a387.3 million).
Deferred tax assets of \u00a320.8 million (2025: \u00a339.9 million) are expected to be recovered after more than one year.
The carrying value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that there will be sufficient available profits to offset all or part of the asset. There are
no unrecognised deferred tax assets as at 30 April 2026 (2025: \u00a3nil).

Income tax payable on taxable profits (current tax) is recognised as an expense in the periods in which the profits arise. The taxation expense represents the sum of current tax payable, including Residential Property Developer Tax (\u2018RPDT\u2019), and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are provided at the amounts expected to be paid (or received) using the tax rules and laws that have been enacted, or substantially enacted, by the reporting date. Deferred taxation is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the Balance Sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised on all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill, or from the initial recognition (except in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit, or from differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred taxation is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which taxable temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred taxation is charged or credited to the Income Statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to reserves, in which case the deferred taxation is also dealt with in reserves. Deferred taxation assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxation assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

In December 2021, the OECD published its proposals in relation to Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules, which
provide for an internationally coordinated system of taxation to ensure that large multinational groups pay
a minimum level of corporate income tax in countries in which they operate. The UK Finance (No. 2) Act
2023, which implements Pillar Two, was enacted by the UK Government on 11 July 2023. Owing to its size
and multinational operations, the Berkeley Group is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules for
the accounting period 30 April 2025 onwards. The Group has undertaken a review and expects to meet the
transitional safe harbour provisions meaning the top up tax will not be payable. There is no impact on the
Group\u2019s results for the year ended 30 April 2026 (30 April 2025: \u00a3nil). The Group applies the exception to
recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income
taxes, as provided in the amendments to IAS 12.

For diluted earnings per ordinary share, the weighted average number of shares in issue is adjusted to assume the conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares. At 30 April 2026, the Group had two (2025: two) categories of potentially dilutive ordinary shares: 0.1 million (2025: 0.4 million) share options under the 2011 LTIP and 0.1 million share options (2025: 0.1 million) under the Restrictive Share Plan. A calculation is undertaken to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value based on the aggregate of the exercise price of each share option and the fair value of future services to be supplied to the Group which is the unamortised share based payments charge. The difference between the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value and the total number of options is used in the diluted EPS calculation.

During the year, \u00a382.4 million (2025: \u00a3143.7 million) of cost was transferred from inventory to investment property in relation to assets under development given management\u2019s decision to hold these assets in the Group\u2019s BTR platform to earn rental income and for capital appreciation. Management uses criteria to ensure that judgement is exercised consistently on the appropriate point of cost transfer, the main criteria being the formal decision to contract for the transfer of ownership of the building under development to asset specific entities which form part of the BTR platform. As at 30 April 2026, the first two assets under development held in the Group\u2019s BTR platform completed (2025: none) and depreciation has been provided to write off the cost of the assets to the residual value over their useful lives (2025: not applicable). As at 30 April 2026, the Directors have internally assessed the fair value of completed investment property at \u00a3118.0 million based upon rental values and investment yields, and including a discount for stabilisation risk. As at 30 April 2025, the Directors internally assessed the fair value of investment property under development, which approximated cost.
For investment property under development, fair value approximates cost. All assets include a discount to
market value to reflect stabilisation risk and an allowance for construction risk in the remaining build process,
this is applied on an asset by asset basis depending on stage of construction.
The fair value assessment has been undertaken as if the investment properties were sold directly as property
assets with purchaser costs deducted accordingly. In all likelihood, the assets would be sold in their Special
Purpose Vehicles consistent with recent UK transactions of this nature and would therefore attract a lower
purchaser cost due to reduced Stamp Duty Land Tax. Under this approach the valuation would be \u00a3122.4 million
for completed assets.

Direct cost comprises the cost of land, material and development costs but excludes indirect overheads. Provision is made, where appropriate, to reduce the value of inventories and work in progress to their net realisable value. Land purchased for development, including land in the course of development, is initially recorded at cost. Where such land is purchased on deferred settlement terms, and the cost differs from the amount that will subsequently be paid in settling the liability, this difference is charged as a finance cost in the Income Statement over the period to settlement. As residential development is largely speculative by nature, not all inventories are covered by forward sales contracts. Furthermore, due to the nature of the Group\u2019s activity and in particular, the scale of its developments and the length of the development cycle, the Group has to allocate site-wide development costs between units being built and/or completed in the current year and those for future years. It also has to forecast the costs to complete on such developments. In making such assessments and allocations in determining each development\u2019s site margin which is used to estimate cost of sales when revenue is recognised for each unit, there is a degree of inherent estimation uncertainty. In particular this is due to the need to take account of future direct input costs, sales prices and the need to allocate all site-wide costs on an appropriate basis to reflect the overall level of development risk, including planning risk. The Group has established internal controls designed to effectively assess and centrally review inventory carrying values and ensure the appropriateness of the estimates made. These assessments and allocations evolve over the life of the development in line with the risk profile, and accordingly the margin recognised reflects these evolving estimates. Similarly, these estimates impact the carrying value of inventory at each reporting date as this is a function of costs incurred in the year and the allocation of inventory to costs of sales on each property sold. An increase or decrease to estimated costs recognised in the year, by virtue of a 1% change to forecast development margin, would lead to a change in cost of sales and inventory of \u00a317.4 million in the current financial year (2025: \u00a317.6 million). This sensitivity is based on a reasonably possible scenario and is provided in the absence of a change to any other factor affecting future gross margins on the Group\u2019s developments, such as a change in future sales prices. In addition, the Group has consistently applied its approach to margin recognition in relation to the Group\u2019s particularly complex, long-term regeneration developments where whole-site costs are accelerated to the early stages of the development to reflect the greater uncertainty and the evolution of risk over the life of such developments. These developments, where the development life cycle is typically greater than 10 years, are considered to be particularly susceptible to potential downward shifts in profitability due to the cyclical nature of the property market and its impact on both revenue and costs. As such, the inherent estimation uncertainty is increased. A fundamental principle of the Group\u2019s accounting policy is to reduce the possibility of recognising margin in the early stages of a development that could subsequently reverse. As such, for these long-term sites with greatest estimation uncertainty, a greater proportion of whole-site costs is recognised during the earlier stages of the development up to a point of inflection when such developments are deemed to be sufficiently derisked. Subsequent to this inflection point, and should the uncertainties have not materialised, margin would increase as the visibility over projected revenue and costs across the development improves. As at 30 April 2026, the greater proportion of whole-site costs recognised in either the current or previous financial years during the earlier stages of the development for the Group\u2019s particularly complex, long- term sites amounted to 4% (2025: 4%) of the future estimated revenue for the specific sites. As with all judgements involving estimation over a long-term horizon, the outcome of future events may affect the eventual accounting outcome.

Cash and cash equivalents are held at floating interest rates linked to the UK base rate and money market rates, as applicable. Cash equivalents comprise amounts placed in fixed term deposit and notice accounts which are all held in order to meet short-term cash requirements and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

It is possible that the eventual costs may differ from management\u2019s current best estimates.

The Group has performance agreements in the ordinary course of business of \u00a323.6 million which are guaranteed by third parties (2025: \u00a323.9 million).

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised on all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill, or from the initial recognition (except in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit, or from differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred taxation is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which taxable temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred taxation is charged or credited to the Income Statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to reserves, in which case the deferred taxation is also dealt with in reserves. Deferred taxation assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxation assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. The movement on the deferred tax account is as follows:

Other timing differences primarily related to deferred tax assets held in relation to long-term incentive schemes, bonuses and provisions. Deferred tax is calculated in full on temporary differences at the tax rates that are expected to apply for the period when the asset is realised and the liability is settled. All deferred tax assets are available for offset against deferred tax liabilities and hence the net deferred tax asset at 30 April 2026 is \u00a361.6 million (2025: \u00a387.3 million). Deferred tax assets of \u00a320.8 million (2025: \u00a339.9 million) are expected to be recovered after more than one year. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that there will be sufficient available profits to offset all or part of the asset. There are no unrecognised deferred tax assets as at 30 April 2026 (2025: \u00a3nil). The deferred tax credited to equity during the year was as follows:

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised on all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill, or from the initial recognition (except in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit, or from differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred taxation is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which taxable temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred taxation is charged or credited to the Income Statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to reserves, in which case the deferred taxation is also dealt with in reserves. Deferred taxation assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxation assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Other timing differences primarily related to deferred tax assets held in relation to long-term incentive schemes, bonuses and provisions. Deferred tax is calculated in full on temporary differences at the tax rates that are expected to apply for the period when the asset is realised and the liability is settled. All deferred tax assets are available for offset against deferred tax liabilities and hence the net deferred tax asset at 30 April 2026 is \u00a361.6 million (2025: \u00a387.3 million). Deferred tax assets of \u00a320.8 million (2025: \u00a339.9 million) are expected to be recovered after more than one year. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that there will be sufficient available profits to offset all or part of the asset. There are no unrecognised deferred tax assets as at 30 April 2026 (2025: \u00a3nil). The deferred tax credited to equity during the year was as follows:

2.20\u2002Reserves
The movement in reserves is set out in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity on page 182.
Capital redemption reserve
The capital redemption reserve was created to maintain the capital of the Company following the redemption
of the B-Shares associated with the Scheme of Arrangement created in 2004 which completed on
10 September 2009 with the re-designation of the unissued B-Shares as ordinary shares.
During the year, 6,279 thousand (2025: 3,321 thousand) shares were repurchased to the value of \u00a3233.0 million
(2025: \u00a3129.7 million). These shares were subsequently cancelled (2025: 3,321 thousand) as shown in Note 2.19.
On cancellation of the share capital, the capital redemption reserve was credited with the nominal value
of shares.
Other reserve
The other reserve of negative \u00a3961.3 million (2025: negative \u00a3961.3 million) arose from the application of
merger accounting principles to the financial statements on implementation of the capital reorganisation of the
Group, incorporating a Scheme of Arrangement, in the year ended 30 April 2005.
Retained earnings
On 11 September 2025, 200 thousand ordinary shares (2025: 170 thousand) were transferred out of treasury to
the Employee Benefit Trust. On 30 September 2025, 189 thousand ordinary shares were transferred from the

2.22\u2002Contingent liabilities
The Group makes provisions for management\u2019s best estimate of post-completion development obligations,
including the cost of remediation associated with building fire-safety matters, and all known material legal and
other claims, including from buildings or companies no longer owned by the Group in the ordinary course of
business. It is possible that the eventual costs may differ from management\u2019s current best estimates.
Certain companies within the Group have given performance and other trade guarantees on behalf of other
members of the Group in the ordinary course of business. The Group has performance agreements in the ordinary

2.24\u2002Capital management, financial instruments and financial risk management
The Group finances its operations by a combination of shareholders\u2019 funds, working capital and, where appropriate,
borrowings. The Group\u2019s objective when managing capital is to maintain an appropriate capital structure in the
business to allow management to focus on creating sustainable long-term value for its shareholders.
The Group monitors capital levels principally by monitoring net cash/debt levels, cash flow forecasts and return
on average capital employed. The Group considers capital employed to be net assets adjusted for net cash/debt.
Capital employed at 30 April 2026 was \u00a33,276.9 million (2025: \u00a33,222.5 million). The increase in capital employed
in the year of \u00a354.4 million reflects an increase in net cash during the year (2025: reduction of \u00a3194.0 million).
The Group\u2019s financial instruments comprise financial assets being trade receivables, loans to joint ventures and
cash and cash equivalents; and financial liabilities being borrowings, trade payables excluding other taxes and
social security, lease liabilities and accruals other than those accounted for under IAS 19 \u2018Employee Benefits\u2019.
Cash and cash equivalents and borrowings are the principal financial instruments used to finance the business.
The other financial instruments arise in the ordinary course of business.
As the Group\u2019s activities are predominantly conducted in sterling there is negligible direct currency risk.
Therefore, the Group\u2019s key financial risks are primarily:
\u2014 liquidity risk \u2013 the risk that suitable funding for the Group\u2019s activities may not be available;
\u2014 market interest rate risk \u2013 the risk that Group financing activities represented by floating borrowings are
adversely affected by fluctuation in market interest rates; and
\u2014 credit risk \u2013 the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss to the Group.
Financial instruments: financial assets
The Group\u2019s financial assets can be summarised as follows:
2026 2025
\u00a3m \u00a3m
Current:
Trade receivables
67.8
47. 2
Loans to joint ventures
57.3
55.5
Cash and cash equivalents
1,023.3
1,015.2
Total financial assets
1,148.4
1,117.9
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing. Of the current trade receivables balance of \u00a367.8 million (2025:
\u00a347.2 million) none of the balance was overdue by more than 30 days (2025: \u00a3nil).
Cash and cash equivalents are short-term deposits held at either floating rates linked to the Bank of England
base rate or fixed money market rates. There are currently no Group assets that are measured at fair value.
Financial instruments: financial liabilities
The Group\u2019s financial liabilities can be summarised as follows:
2026 2025
\u00a3m \u00a3m

Total trade and other payables
(1,887.6)
(2,088.8)
All amounts included above are unsecured, except for borrowings under the Group\u2019s bank facilities as set out
later in this note.
Trade payables and other current liabilities are non-interest bearing.
The maturity profile of the Group\u2019s non-current financial liabilities, all of which are held at amortised cost,
is as follows:
2026 2025
\u00a3m \u00a3m
Amounts due:
In more than one year but not more than two years
(64.6)
(97.5)
In more than two years but not more than five years
(548.1)
(525.8)
In more than five years
(421.5)
(519.7)
(1,034.2)
(1,143.0)
Current trade receivables and current trade and other payables approximate to their fair value as the transactions
which give rise to these balances arise in the normal course of trade and, where relevant, with industry standard
payment terms and have a short period to maturity (less than one year).
Non-current trade payables comprise long-term land payables, which are held at their discounted present value
(calculated by discounting expected future cash flows at prevailing interest rates and yields as appropriate),
and borrowings. The discount rate applied reflects the Group\u2019s credit risk, which is considered to be aligned to
a nominal, low risk pre-tax rate, on initial recognition of the financial liability, applied to the maturity profile of
the individual land creditors within the total. Non-current bank loans approximate to fair value as they are held
at variable market interest rates. The fair value of the \u00a3400 million unsecured 10-year Green Bonds at 30 April
2026 was determined by the ask price of \u00a384.23 per \u00a3100 (2025: \u00a381.80 per \u00a3100).
Liquidity risk
This is the risk that suitable funding for the Group\u2019s activities may not be available. Group management
addresses this risk through review of rolling cash flow forecasts throughout the year to assess and monitor
the current and forecast availability of funding, and to ensure sufficient headroom against facility limits and
compliance with banking covenants. The committed borrowing facilities are set out below.
The contractual undiscounted maturity profile of the Group\u2019s financial liabilities, which are included at their
carrying value in the preceding tables, is as follows:
2026 2025
\u00a3m \u00a3m
Amounts due:
In less than one year
(854.3)
(947.8)
In more than one year but not more than two years
(66.7)
(99.3)
In more than two years but not more than five years
(564.8)
(543.2)
In more than five years
(421.6)
(526.7)
(1,907.4)
(2,117.0)
Deposits and on account contract receipts are not included in the table above as they represent deferred
income and therefore do not have a payment maturity date.
Market interest rate risk
The Group\u2019s cash and cash equivalents, bank and Homes England loans expose the Group to cash flow interest
rate risk.
The Group\u2019s rolling cash flow forecasts incorporate appropriate interest assumptions, and management
carefully assesses expected activity levels and associated funding requirements in the prevailing and forecast
interest rate environment to ensure that this risk is managed.
If interest rates on the Group\u2019s cash and cash equivalents and bank loans had been 50 basis points higher
throughout the year ended 30 April 2026, profit after tax for the year would have been \u00a31.2 million higher
(2025: \u00a31.6 million). This calculation is based on the monthly closing net cash/debt balance throughout the year.
A 50 basis point increase in interest rate represents management\u2019s assessment of a reasonably possible change
for the year ended 30 April 2026.
Credit risk
The Group\u2019s exposure to credit risk encompasses these financial assets: trade receivables, loans to joint
ventures and cash and cash equivalents. The Group has assessed expected credit losses and the loss allowance
for trade and other receivables and loans to joint ventures as immaterial.
There has been no impairment of trade receivables during the year (2025: \u00a3nil), nor are there any material provisions
held against trade receivables (2025: \u00a3nil), and \u00a3nil trade receivables are past their due date (2025: \u00a3nil).
The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because counterparties are leading international banks
with long-term A credit ratings assigned by international credit agencies.
Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the Income Statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. The Group has committed corporate borrowing facilities as follows:

The \u00a3400 million unsecured 10-year Green Bonds mature in August 2031 at a fixed coupon of 2.5% per annum and are listed on the International Securities Market of the London Stock Exchange plc. The Group is in compliance with all of the financial covenants associated with the bonds. The \u00a3800 million banking facilities comprise a \u00a3260 million Green Term Loan, which was initially drawn in March 2022 and bears interest at a rate linked to SONIA, and a \u00a3540 million Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) which remains undrawn. The bank facilities are secured by debentures provided by certain Group holding companies over their assets. The Group\u2019s \u00a3800 million banking facilities are in place to February 2029. The Group\u2019s bank facilities contain the usual financials covenants, including minimum interest cover, asset cover and maximum gearing, which are reported bi-annually in line with the Group\u2019s accounting dates. The Group is in compliance with all the financial covenants associated with the bank facilities and expects to continue to do so. At 30 April 2026, the total drawn balance of these combined borrowing facilities was \u00a3660.0 million (2025: \u00a3660.0 million). At 30 April 2026 there were \u00a3nil bank bonds in issue (2025: \u00a3nil) which are capable of being issued under ancillary facilities available as part of the Group\u2019s RCF. In the year the unsecured \u00a3125.6 million facility the Group held with Homes England, whereby it may apply amounts borrowed towards financing or re-financing certain infrastructure type costs incurred on three of its developments, was reduced to \u00a317.9 million, all of which was drawn. As at 30 April 2026 the \u00a317.9 million has been repaid in full. Post 30 April 2026, the Group extended the banking facility to \u00a31,000 million.

The Group\u2019s objective when managing capital is to maintain an appropriate capital structure in the business to allow management to focus on creating sustainable long-term value for its shareholders. The Group monitors capital levels principally by monitoring net cash/debt levels, cash flow forecasts and return on average capital employed. The Group considers capital employed to be net assets adjusted for net cash/debt. Capital employed at 30 April 2026 was \u00a33,276.9 million (2025: \u00a33,222.5 million). The increase in capital employed in the year of \u00a354.4 million reflects an increase in net cash during the year (2025: reduction of \u00a3194.0 million). The Group\u2019s financial instruments comprise financial assets being trade receivables, loans to joint ventures and cash and cash equivalents; and financial liabilities being borrowings, trade payables excluding other taxes and social security, lease liabilities and accruals other than those accounted for under IAS 19 \u2018Employee Benefits\u2019. Cash and cash equivalents and borrowings are the principal financial instruments used to finance the business. The other financial instruments arise in the ordinary course of business. As the Group\u2019s activities are predominantly conducted in sterling there is negligible direct currency risk. Therefore, the Group\u2019s key financial risks are primarily: \u2014 liquidity risk \u2013 the risk that suitable funding for the Group\u2019s activities may not be available; \u2014 market interest rate risk \u2013 the risk that Group financing activities represented by floating borrowings are adversely affected by fluctuation in market interest rates; and \u2014 credit risk \u2013 the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss to the Group. Financial instruments: financial assets The Group\u2019s financial assets can be summarised as follows:

Of the current trade receivables balance of \u00a367.8 million (2025: \u00a347.2 million) none of the balance was overdue by more than 30 days (2025: \u00a3nil). Cash and cash equivalents are short-term deposits held at either floating rates linked to the Bank of England base rate or fixed money market rates. There are currently no Group assets that are measured at fair value. Financial instruments: financial liabilities The Group\u2019s financial liabilities can be summarised as follows:

All amounts included above are unsecured, except for borrowings under the Group\u2019s bank facilities as set out later in this note. Trade payables and other current liabilities are non-interest bearing. The maturity profile of the Group\u2019s non-current financial liabilities, all of which are held at amortised cost, is as follows:

Current trade receivables and current trade and other payables approximate to their fair value as the transactions which give rise to these balances arise in the normal course of trade and, where relevant, with industry standard payment terms and have a short period to maturity (less than one year). Non-current trade payables comprise long-term land payables, which are held at their discounted present value (calculated by discounting expected future cash flows at prevailing interest rates and yields as appropriate), and borrowings. The discount rate applied reflects the Group\u2019s credit risk, which is considered to be aligned to a nominal, low risk pre-tax rate, on initial recognition of the financial liability, applied to the maturity profile of the individual land creditors within the total. Non-current bank loans approximate to fair value as they are held at variable market interest rates. The fair value of the \u00a3400 million unsecured 10-year Green Bonds at 30 April 2026 was determined by the ask price of \u00a384.23 per \u00a3100 (2025: \u00a381.80 per \u00a3100). Liquidity risk This is the risk that suitable funding for the Group\u2019s activities may not be available. Group management addresses this risk through review of rolling cash flow forecasts throughout the year to assess and monitor the current and forecast availability of funding, and to ensure sufficient headroom against facility limits and compliance with banking covenants. The committed borrowing facilities are set out below. The contractual undiscounted maturity profile of the Group\u2019s financial liabilities, which are included at their carrying value in the preceding tables, is as follows:
2026 2025
\u00a3m \u00a3m
Amounts due:
In less than one year
(854.3)

Deposits and on account contract receipts are not included in the table above as they represent deferred income and therefore do not have a payment maturity date. Market interest rate risk The Group\u2019s cash and cash equivalents, bank and Homes England loans expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group\u2019s rolling cash flow forecasts incorporate appropriate interest assumptions, and management carefully assesses expected activity levels and associated funding requirements in the prevailing and forecast interest rate environment to ensure that this risk is managed. If interest rates on the Group\u2019s cash and cash equivalents and bank loans had been 50 basis points higher throughout the year ended 30 April 2026, profit after tax for the year would have been \u00a31.2 million higher (2025: \u00a31.6 million). This calculation is based on the monthly closing net cash/debt balance throughout the year. A 50 basis point increase in interest rate represents management\u2019s assessment of a reasonably possible change for the year ended 30 April 2026. Credit risk The Group\u2019s exposure to credit risk encompasses these financial assets: trade receivables, loans to joint ventures and cash and cash equivalents. The Group has assessed expected credit losses and the loss allowance for trade and other receivables and loans to joint ventures as immaterial. There has been no impairment of trade receivables during the year (2025: \u00a3nil), nor are there any material provisions held against trade receivables (2025: \u00a3nil), and \u00a3nil trade receivables are past their due date (2025: \u00a3nil). The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because counterparties are leading international banks with long-term A credit ratings assigned by international credit agencies. Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the Income Statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. The Group has committed corporate borrowing facilities as follows:

The \u00a3400 million unsecured 10-year Green Bonds mature in August 2031 at a fixed coupon of 2.5% per annum and are listed on the International Securities Market of the London Stock Exchange plc. The Group is in compliance with all of the financial covenants associated with the bonds. The \u00a3800 million banking facilities comprise a \u00a3260 million Green Term Loan, which was initially drawn in March 2022 and bears interest at a rate linked to SONIA, and a \u00a3540 million Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) which remains undrawn. The bank facilities are secured by debentures provided by certain Group holding companies over their assets. The Group\u2019s \u00a3800 million banking facilities are in place to February 2029. The Group\u2019s bank facilities contain the usual financials covenants, including minimum interest cover, asset cover and maximum gearing, which are reported bi-annually in line with the Group\u2019s accounting dates. The Group is in compliance with all the financial covenants associated with the bank facilities and expects to continue to do so. At 30 April 2026, the total drawn balance of these combined borrowing facilities was \u00a3660.0 million (2025: \u00a3660.0 million). At 30 April 2026 there were \u00a3nil bank bonds in issue (2025: \u00a3nil) which are capable of being issued under ancillary facilities available as part of the Group\u2019s RCF.

2.25\u2002Alternative performance measures
Berkeley uses a number of alternative performance measures (\u2018APMs\u2019) which are not defined by IFRS.
The Directors consider these measures useful to assess the underlying performance of the Group alongside
the relevant IFRS financial information. They are referred to as Financial KPIs throughout the year end results.
The information below provides a definition of APMs and reconciliation to the relevant IFRS information,
where required:
Net cash
Net cash is defined as cash and cash equivalents, less total borrowings. This is reconciled in Note 2.23.
Net asset value per share attributable to shareholders (NAVPS) This is defined as net assets attributable to shareholders divided by the number of shares in issue, excluding shares held in treasury and shares held by the Employee Benefit Trust.

Cash due on forward sales
This measures cash still due from customers, allowing for a risk adjustment, at the relevant Balance Sheet date
under unconditional contracts for sale. It excludes forward sales of affordable housing, commercial properties
and institutional sales as well as forward sales within the Group\u2019s joint ventures.
Future gross margin in land holdings
This represents management\u2019s risk-adjusted assessment of the potential gross profit for each of the Group\u2019s
sites, including the proportionate share of its joint ventures, taking account of a wide range of factors,
including: current sales and input prices; the economic and political backdrop; the planning and regulatory
regime; and other market factors; all of which could have a significant effect on the eventual outcome.

2.26\u2002Related party transactions
The Group has entered into the following related party transactions:
Transactions with Directors
There were no transactions with Directors in the year or the comparative year.
Transactions with joint ventures
The Group holds 50% interests in three joint ventures that are accounted for using the equity method as detailed
in Note 2.12. The Group has provided long-term loan facilities to the joint ventures to fund ongoing capital and
operational requirements. As settlement of these loans is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future,
they are considered, in substance an extension of the Group\u2019s net investment in the joint ventures.
During the financial year, the joint ventures paid management fees and other recharges to the Group of \u00a39.3
million (2025: \u00a310.4 million). Other transactions in the year include the movements in loans of \u00a31.8 million
(2025: \u00a31.7 million) and the receipt of dividends of \u00a345.1 million (2025: \u00a3nil).
The outstanding loan balances with joint ventures at 30 April 2026 total \u00a357.3 million (30 April 2025: \u00a355.5 million).
All the long-term loans held have no specific repayment terms.

2.27\u2002Events after the reporting period
Since the reporting date, the following non-adjusting events have occurred:
Share buy-backs
During the closed period spanning from 30 April 2026 to 24 June 2026, the Company continues its share buy-
back programme announced on 30 April 2026. The Company purchased 686,543 shares, representing 0.7% of
the issued share capital, for an aggregate cash consideration of \u00a323.2 million up to and including 19 June 2026.
The shares repurchased were cancelled, resulting in a reduction in distributable reserves and share capital. The
irrevocable consent continues until 24 June 2026 with shares expected to be purchased up to the close of 23
June 2026 which are expected to be cancelled after the signing date. Details of purchases since 19 June 2026
have been disclosed in an RNS issued at the date of this report.
The purchases were conducted during the closed period under an independent, irrevocable arrangement with
a third-party broker, complying with all necessary regulatory requirements and ensuring no breach of inside
information trading restrictions occurred.
Borrowings
After the year end, the Group extended the banking facility to \u00a31.0 billion, comprising a \u00a3240 million Term Loan,
which is fully drawn bearing interest at a rate linked to SONIA, and a \u00a3760 million Revolving Credit Facility
(RCF) which remains undrawn. These banking facilities are in place to June 2031 with two one-year extensions
taking the facility to June 2033. The banking facilities are secured by debentures provided by certain Group
holding companies over their assets.
