We create innovative electronics that deliver value to our customers, whilst making positive impacts on the environment, society and people\u2019s livesNOTES TO THE GROUP CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 March 20241. Reporting entity and authorisation of Financial StatementsThe consolidated Financial Statements, which comprise the results of discoverIE Group plc (\u201cthe Company\u201d) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as \u201cthe Group\u201d), for the year ended 31 March 2024 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 4 June 2024. discoverIE Group plc is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England, UK and the registered office is disclosed on page 209. The Company\u2019s ordinary shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange.The material accounting policies adopted by the Group are set out in note 2 and have been applied consistently to all years presented in these consolidated Financial Statements.2. Accounting policiesStatement of complianceThe Group\u2019s consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (UK-adopted IAS) in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the disclosure guidance and transparency rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom\u2019s Financial Conduct Authority.The separate Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101 \u2018Reduced Disclosure Framework\u2019 (FRS 101). On publishing the Company\u2019s Financial Statements here together with the Group\u2019s Financial Statements, the Company is taking advantage of the exemption in section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its individual Statement of Profit or Loss and related notes that form a part of these approved Financial Statements.The following exemptions from the requirements of the UK-adopted IAS have been applied in the preparation of the Company\u2019s Financial Statements, in accordance with FRS 101:\u2022 Cash Flow Statement and respective disclosures and information;\u2022 Disclosures in relation to capital management;\u2022 Disclosures in relation to financial instruments;\u2022 Disclosures in respect of the compensation of key management personnel; and\u2022 Disclosures in respect of transactions between two or more members of the Group.For the following disclosures, as the Group\u2019s consolidated Financial Statements include the equivalent disclosures, the Company has taken the exemptions available under FRS 101: \u2022 IFRS 2 \u2018Share-based payments\u2019 in respect of Group equity-settled share-based payments;\u2022 Certain disclosures required by IFRS 13 \u2018Fair Value Measurement\u2019.Basis of preparationThe Group consolidated Financial Statements and the Company Financial Statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated.The Group and Company Financial Statements are presented in Pounds Sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest hundred thousand except as otherwise indicated. The Group has engaged in an ongoing review of expected climate change impacts on the business and its assets and liabilities to establish any adjustments required and what reporting is necessary in its consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. The ongoing risk assessment is detailed within the climate-related risks and opportunities section on page 76 of the Risk Management section and in the Summary Disclosure Against TCFD Recommendations on pages 65 to 70 in the Strategic Report.The process has involved a review of all balance sheet line items and future cash flows, to identify if any of these items is expected to be materially impacted in a negative or positive way by weather, legislative, societal or revenue/cost changes.The conclusion of the review was that, whilst there will undoubtedly be impacts on the Group, the highly disaggregated nature of the operations of the Group and the target markets the Group operates in, significantly reduces the risk profile of the Group to impacts from weather-related changes. The changes necessary to achieve the Group\u2019s net zero by 2030 commitment is not expected to have a materially adverse impact on the cash flows of the Group and indeed, warmer climates may present enhanced opportunities in our target markets as disclosed on pages 24 to 29 of this report. Societal and legislative impacts are not considered to have a material impact on any one segment such that we need to break out reporting in a different way to previous years. Judgements are not considered to be significant, although clearly understanding of climate change is developing with time. The area with the most judgement is goodwill impairment testing and a description is given in note 18 of the incremental processes undertaken to assess the climate change impact on the valuations. Management review has concluded that there is no material impact and that no further disclosure is required.Going concernIn line with IAS 1 \u201cPresentation of Financial Statements\u201d and revised guidance on \u201crisk management, internal control and related financial and business reporting\u201d, management has taken into account all available information about the future for a period of at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements when assessing the Group\u2019s and Company\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern.The Group\u2019s business activities, together with factors which may adversely impact its future development, performance and position, are set out in the Strategic Report on pages 1 to 85. The financial position of the Group, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities are described in the Finance Review section of the Strategic Report on pages 38 to 43. The Group\u2019s forecasts and projections, taking account of the sensitivity analysis of changes in trading performance, show that the Group is well placed to operate within its current debt facilities of \u00a3240m committed up to the end of August 2027.The Viability Base Case, as stated on pages 82 to 83 has been subjected to sensitivity analysis involving flexing a number of the underlying key assumptions, both individually and in conjunction. The sensitivities take into account the principal risks and uncertainties set out on pages 75 to 81, notably instability in the economic environment, underperformance of acquired businesses, climate-related risks, loss of key customers and suppliers, major business disruption, liquidity restriction, debt covenants and adverse foreign currency movements. The most severe but plausible downside scenario assumes a worsening of the economic environment caused by a number of factors including geo-political events and significant reduction in consumer demand due to continuing inflationary pressures and elevated interest rates. This downside scenario results in a significant decline in second half sales of FY 2024/25, negative sales growth in FY 2025/26 and modest growth thereon in FY 2026/27. Additionally, operating margin was reduced, working capital materially increased, significant one-off expenditures included (such as product liability, major customer insolvency or litigation, climate change, cyber-security incident), interest rates increased, and the Group effective tax rate increased.After factoring in all of the significant additional downsides, there remains good headroom both in terms of liquidity and banking covenants. This is supported by the fact that the Group sells a wide portfolio of different products across a diverse set of industries and geographies, has low customer/supplier concentration, has a global supply chain network, diverse manufacturing capacity, and has well-established relationships with its customers. These factors are considered important in mitigating many of the risks that could affect the long-term viability of the Group. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its principal risks and uncertainties as disclosed on pages 75 to 81 of the Strategic Report.Reverse stress testing has also been applied to the most plausible downside scenario to determine the level of downside that would be required before the Group would breach its existing financial covenants or current liquidity headroom during the assessment period. The reverse stress test was conducted on the basis that certain mitigating actions would be undertaken to reduce overheads and capital expenditure during the period as sales declined and, on that basis, a fall in underlying operating margin to below 6% in FY 2024/25 would be required before such a breach occurred. The Board considers the possibility of such a scenario to be remote and further mitigation, such as hiring freezes, pay and bonus reductions, headcount reductions, reduction in planned capital expenditure, suspension of dividend payments and equity raise, would be available if future trading conditions indicated that such an outcome were possible.The Company acts as a holding company for investments in the subsidiaries and does not engage in any trading activities directly and thus is dependent on the trading activities of its subsidiaries. The Company holds sufficient net current assets as at 31 March 2024 to continue as a going concern.The Directors are confident that the Company and the Group have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and Financial Statements.Basis of consolidation The Group\u2019s consolidated Financial Statements consolidate the results of discoverIE Group plc and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries).The consolidated Financial Statements comprise the Financial Statements of the Group and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2024. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its control over it. In assessing control, the Group takes into account: (i) the power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct its relevant activities); (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.The Group reassesses whether or not it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, profits and losses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated Financial Statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.When necessary, adjustments are made to the Financial Statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group\u2019s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.Business combinations and goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree.When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions at the acquisition date. Any contingent consideration payable to the vendor is measured and recognised at fair value through profit and loss (\u201cFVTPL\u201d) at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is deemed to be an asset or liability, are recognised in accordance with IFRS 9 \u201cFinancial Instruments: Classification and measurement\u201d either in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss or in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for the non-controlling interest over the net identifiable amounts of the fair value of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in exchange for the business combination. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in transactions separate to the business combinations, such as the settlement of pre-existing relationships or post-acquisition remuneration arrangements, are accounted for separately from the business combination in accordance with their nature and applicable standard. Identifiable intangible assets, meeting either the contractual-legal or separability criterion are recognised separately from goodwill. Contingent liabilities representing a present obligation are recognised if the acquisition-date fair value can be measured reliably.After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group\u2019s cash-generating units (\u201cCGUs\u201d) that are expected to benefit from the business combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Each unit or group of units to which goodwill is allocated shall represent the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and shall not be larger than a reportable operating segment. Where goodwill forms part of a CGU, and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained.Non-current assets held for saleAn asset or liability is classified as held for sale if it is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets and that it is highly probable the asset will be sold within one year from the date of classification. Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Additional disclosures are provided in note 12.Investments (Company only)Investments in subsidiary and associate undertakings are stated initially at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including directly attributable transaction costs. The carrying values are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable. Intangible assets \u2013 otherOther intangible assets that are separately acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Other intangible assets acquired through a business combination are recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses from the date of acquisition. Amortisation is charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss within operating costs on a straight-line basis over the useful economic lives of the intangible assets. The estimated useful economic lives are as follows: (a) Software (implementation costs of IT systems) 3 to 10 years(b) Acquired intangible assets: \u2022 Customer relationships 5 to 12 years\u2022 Patents Patent term(c) Intangible assets \u2013 research and developmentExpenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. An internally generated intangible asset arising from the Group\u2019s development activities is capitalised only if all of the following conditions are met: (a) an asset is created that can be identified; (b) it is probable that the asset created will generate future economic benefits; and (c) the development cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Internally generated intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives between five and ten years and charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss. The Group only capitalises costs relating to the configuration and customisation of Software-as-a-service arrangements (\u201cSaaS\u201d) as intangible assets where control of the asset exists. Costs that are paid to SaaS suppliers in advance of the service provided are recognised in prepayments and amortised over the service period.All other development expenditure is written off in the accounting period in which it is incurred. Property, plant and equipment Items of owned property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost consists of all those elements which are directly attributable to bringing the asset into working condition for its intended use. Where there has been an indication of impairment in value such that the recoverable amount of an asset falls below its net book value, provision is made for such impairment. Wherever possible, individual assets are tested for impairment. However, impairment can often be tested only for groups of assets because the cash flows upon which the calculation is based do not arise from the use of a single asset. In these cases, impairment is measured for the smallest group of assets (the cash generating unit) that produces a largely independent income stream. The cost of property, plant and equipment is charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss on a straight-line basis over the assets\u2019 estimated useful economic lives, taking into account their estimated residual value. The principal annual rates of depreciation are: Land and buildings Freehold property 2% to 4% per annumLeasehold buildings Shorter of lease term and useful lifeLand Not depreciatedLeasehold improvements 10% to 20% per annum or over the life of the lease if shorterPlant and equipment 5% to 33% per annumImpairment of non-financial assetsThe carrying amounts of the Group\u2019s assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such an indication exists, the asset\u2019s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of the asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their net selling price and value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. When estimating the future cash flows for the value-in-use calculation, the Group includes projections of cash outflows including central costs that are necessarily incurred to generate the cash inflows and that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to each CGU.Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first against the carrying value of any goodwill allocated to that unit, and then against the carrying values of other assets in the unit, on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.Financial instrumentsFinancial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Unconditional receivables and payables are recognised as assets or liabilities when the Group becomes a party to the contract and, as a consequence, has a legal right to receive or a legal obligation to pay cash. However, recognition of financial assets to be acquired and financial liabilities to be incurred as a result of a firm commitment to purchase or sell goods or services, such as trade receivables and trade payables, is usually delayed until at least one of the parties has performed under the agreement and the ordered goods or services have been shipped, delivered or rendered. A forward contract that is within the scope of IFRS 9, such as a forward foreign exchange contract, is recognised as an asset or a liability on the commitment date at which point the fair value of the right and obligation are usually equal and the net fair value of the forward contract on initial recognition is zero. If the net fair value of the right and obligation is not zero, the contract is recognised as an asset or liability. The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are only offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and the liability simultaneously.Allowance for expected credit losses The Group measures loss allowances for financial assets, including trade receivables, at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses (\u201cECL\u201d). This requires consideration of both historical and forward-looking information when considering potential impairment of trade receivables. A provision matrix is used to calculate the expected credit loss, which is based upon historical observed default rates adjusted for forward-looking information to create an adjusted default rate, which is applied to the outstanding invoices at the balance sheet date.Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. Credit-impaired financial assetsAt each reporting date the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred, such as a significant change in the credit risk profile of a customer, a debt has become significantly overdue or a contract default.Write-off of financial assets The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written down to its recoverable amount when the Group has no reasonable expectation of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.Derivative financial instrumentsThe Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange risks arising from operational activities. It principally employs forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions. The fair value of derivative foreign exchange instruments is determined on initial recognition at forward market exchange rates at inception of the contract and subsequently remeasured based on forward market exchange rates at the balance sheet date.Inventories Inventories comprise finished goods, goods held for resale, raw materials and work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making allowance for any obsolete or slow-moving items. Cost comprises direct materials, inward carriage and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash balances and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts represent short-term borrowings repayable on demand and are shown within other financial liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.The cash balances are separately presented gross in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position, rather than netted off against overdraft held either by the same entity, or other Group entities, with the same bank, despite the existence of a legal right of set off.BorrowingsBorrowings are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis. ProvisionsA provision is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where the effect is material, provisions are discounted to present value. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring has either commenced or has been publicly announced. Future operating costs are not provided for. The Group also recognises provisions for dilapidation, warranty, retirement indemnity and severance.LeasingThe Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease, that is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Separating components of a contract Contracts usually combine different kinds of obligation of the supplier, which may be formed by lease components or lease and non-lease components, such as maintenance or services. The Group identifies the lease and non-lease components and accounts for those separately, applying the relevant standard to each one. Consideration is allocated to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease component.Lease term The Group considers the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease plus periods covered by an option to extend or an option to terminate if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option or not exercise the termination option.i) Right of use assets The Group recognises right of use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right of use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, provision for decommissioning the asset at the end of the contract, less any lease incentives received. Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.ii) Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, when applicable.The lease payments also include, when applicable, the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are usually recognised as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is a combination of country-specific government bond yields, used as a proxy for a risk-free rate, calculated over various periods linked to existing lease terms. This rate is adjusted for borrowing costs and risks specific to each entity of the Group.After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, such as a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. Any adjustment of the lease liability is reflected as an adjustment to the right of use asset. If the carrying amount of the right of use asset has already been reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.The Group has adopted the practical expedient under IFRS 16 not to recognise right of use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, with a lease term of 12 months or less, and leases in which the underlying asset is of low value. Lease payments relating to these leases are expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.Borrowing costsBorrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, in accordance with the effective interest rate method.Pensions Payments to defined contribution pension schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. In respect of defined benefit pension schemes, the position recognised in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation, reduced by the fair value of the scheme assets. Obligations to provide future benefits to employees earned through prior service are estimated and discounted to present value. Plan assets are measured at fair value. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined by actuarial valuation, using the projected unit credit method.Any pension asset surplus would be fully recoverable by the Group in line with the rules of the scheme. Therefore, the IAS 19 surplus is recognised in full under current accounting standards.Actuarial remeasurement of the net defined benefit asset or liability comprises (a) actuarial gains and losses, (b) the return on plan assets in excess of the amount included in net interest on the net defined benefit asset or liability, and (c) any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (where applicable), excluding any amount included in net interest on the net defined benefit asset or liability; and is recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Position with a corresponding entry in retained earnings through Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement gains or losses are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.Share-based paymentsCertain employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as a consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). The Group operates a \u201cLong Term Incentive Plan \u2013 LTIP\u201d and an \u201cApproved and unapproved executive share option scheme \u2013 CSOP\u201d.The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date the grant is made, calculated using an option pricing model, and is recognised as an expense over the three-year vesting period, which ends on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of non-market vesting conditions.For the LTIP, at each reporting date before vesting, the cumulative expense is calculated, representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management\u2019s best estimate of the achievement or otherwise of non-market conditions and hence the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest, also taking into consideration the impact of forfeitures and cancellations during the year. The movement in cumulative expense since the previous reporting date is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss, with a corresponding entry in equity.The CSOP awards are subject only to continuing service of the employee. At each reporting date, the cumulative expense, calculated on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period, and taking into consideration forfeitures and cancellations during the year, is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss, with a corresponding entry in equity.The issuance by the Company to its subsidiaries employees of a grant of options over the Company\u2019s shares represents additional capital contributions by the Company in its subsidiaries. The additional capital contribution is based on the fair value of the grant issued, allocated over the underlying grant\u2019s vesting period. Taxation Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Group measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Financial Statements, with the following exceptions:\u2022 where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;\u2022 in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and\u2022 deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, carried forward tax credits or tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related asset is realised or liability is settled, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.Income tax is charged or credited directly to equity or Other Comprehensive Income if it relates to items that are credited or charged to equity or Other Comprehensive Income respectively. Otherwise, income tax is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.Pillar Two legislation was substantively enacted in the UK on 20 June 2023 based on model rules published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the \u201cPillar Two legislation\u201d). The legislation is effective for the financial year beginning 1 April 2024 for the Group. The Group has performed an assessment of its potential exposure to income taxes arising under Pillar Two legislation and the Group\u2019s annual revenue does not meet the legislation\u2019s threshold of \u20ac750m. In addition, the tax rates in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates are above 15%. Therefore no specific disclosures have been included as a result of the amendment to IAS 12 relating to the Pillar Two rules referred to in note 3.Foreign currency translationTransactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and gains or losses on translation are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss. The Group recognises currency gains and losses arising from the retranslation of the opening net assets of foreign operations as a movement on reserves, net of tax. The differences that arise from translating the results of overseas businesses at average rates of exchange, and their assets and liabilities at closing rates, are dealt with in a separate currency translation reserve. All other currency gains and losses are dealt with in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss.Revenue recognitionThe Group realises revenue from its principal activities through the sale of highly differentiated electronic products in four target markets: renewable energy, transportation, medical and industrial & connectivity. Revenue is recognised in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, excluding value added tax and other sales related taxes. Transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service promised in the contract. If a standalone selling price is not observable, the Group estimates it. The transaction price may include a discount or a variable amount of consideration that relates entirely or to a part of the contract. The Group will review the requirements and specify when the variable amount should be allocated to one or more, but not all, performance obligations in the contract.Control of a good or service is obtained when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the benefits from the good or service. The Group recognises revenue from product sales at a point in time on shipment, on delivery or when goods are accepted by the customer, depending on the Incoterm used for the sale transaction.Product support and maintenance services are recognised over the period of the service delivery as the customer receives the benefit of the service over time; progress is measured by reference to service periods.When another party is involved in providing goods or services to the customer, the Group determines whether the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to provide the specified goods or services itself (principal) or to arrange for those goods or services to be provided by the other party (agent) and recognises revenue accordingly.Contract balancesReceivablesReceivables are billed under the terms of the contract for delivered goods and services that are not conditional on anything other than the passage of time. They are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. These assets are classified as trade receivables.Contract liabilitiesContract liabilities represent the Group\u2019s unsatisfied obligation(s) for the transfer of goods or services to the customer for which consideration has been received from the customer; and/or advance payments received from a customer in consideration of future performance obligations. Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board.Dividends paidDividends are recognised when they meet the criteria for recognition as a liability. In relation to final dividends, this is when the dividend is approved by the Shareholders in the general meeting, and in relation to interim dividends, when paid.Dividend incomeDividend income is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss on the date the Group\u2019s right to receive payment is established.Material accounting judgements and estimatesThe preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other applicable factors, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and any revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.Information about judgements, assumptions and estimation uncertainties as at 31 March 2024 that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next financial year is addressed regarding: \u2022 Impairment of non-financial assets (Group and Company): Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, in accordancewith IAS 36. The Group is required to ensure that its assets are not impaired and are carried at no more than their recoverable amount, measured based on their fair value less cost to sell or value-in-use. Assets which do not generate independent cash flows are required to be grouped together into CGUs and tested for impairment. In determining the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU, estimates and assumptions must be made in determining the value of those future cash flows. For a CGU this includes assessment of future revenue, operating profit, discount rates and long-term growth rates. Central costs that are necessarily incurred to generate the cash inflows and that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to each CGU are included in the value-in-use calculation. Uncertainty inherent in making judgements and estimates means that there is a risk that the estimated recoverable amount could result in a material adjustment in future accounting periods. Note 18 provides more details.\u2022 Measurement of defined benefit asset/obligation (Group only): The present value of the defined benefit asset/obligation depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net expense and balance sheet position include discount rates, inflation andmortality rates. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of defined benefit asset/obligation. The actuarial assumptions used in determining the carrying amount at 31 March 2024 are set out in note 32. \u2022 Fair value of assets acquired in a business combination (Group only): Estimates are made in the assessment of fairvalue of the consideration and net assets acquired, including the identification and valuation of intangible assets and theiruseful lives. Estimates used include customer attrition rates, discount rate and trading forecast. Note 11 provides details of business combinations. \u2022 Value of investments (Company only): Investments in subsidiaries are reviewed annually for impairment whenindicators for impairment are identified. Determining whether the Company\u2019s investments in subsidiaries have been impaired requires estimations of the investments\u2019 values-in-use or consideration of the net asset value of the entity. The value-in-use calculations require the Directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the investments,using estimates such as for future revenue, operating profit, discount rates and long-term growth rates to calculate present values.\u2022 Cash offsetting (Group and Company): Judgements are made when assessing the intention to net settle outstanding overdraft positions at the balance sheet date in order to meet the disclosure requirements for presenting cash balances net of overdrafts in the consolidated and Company Statement of Financial Position. For the year ended 31 March 2024, the offsetting criteria for balances within the Group\u2019s cash pooling arrangements have not been met, therefore, balances have not been offset. \u2022 Classification of assets as held for sale (Group): Judgements are made when assessing if the carrying amount of certain assets will be recovered principally through the sale rather than through continuing use, as well as if they are available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is highly probable. These assets are presented as assets held for sale in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For the year ended 31 March 2024, the Group has \u00a36.7m of assets related to the disposal of the Santon solar business unit, classified as held for sale. Note 12 provides details.3. New accounting standards and financial reporting requirements New standards appliedThe Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for its annual reporting period commencing 1 April 2023: \u2022 IAS 12 Taxation: International Tax Reform \u2013 Pillar Two Model Rules \u2013 Amendment\u2022 IAS 12 Taxation: relating to Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction \u2013 Amendment\u2022 IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies \u2013 Amendment\u2022 IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates \u2013 Amendment; and\u2022 IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts.These and other amendments, changes and improvements to IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (\u201cIASB\u201d) have had no material impact on the Group and Company\u2019s current financial results or financial position.New standards not yet appliedCertain new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 March 2024 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. None of these are expected to have a material impact on the Group\u2019s financial results in the current or future reporting periods.4.

Operating segment informationThe Reportable Operating Segments of the Group include two distinct divisions, Magnetics & Controls (\u201cM&C\u201d) and Sensing & Connectivity (\u201cS&C\u201d). Within each of these reportable operating segments are aggregated business units with similar characteristics such as the nature of customers, products, risk profile and economic characteristics.Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is reported and evaluated based on operating profit or loss earned by each segment. Unallocated costs relate to central head office administration costs that are not directly attributable to the Operating Segments.Segment revenue and resultsMagnetics Sensing & Unallocated& ControlsConnectivityCostsTotal2024\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3mRevenue 265.1 171.9 \u2013 437.0ResultUnderlying operating profit/(loss) 40.6 28.9 (12.3) 57.2Acquisition and disposal expenses (2.2) (7.6) \u2013 (9.8)Amortisation of acquired intangible assets (6.6) (9.6) \u2013 (16.2)Operating profit/(loss) 31.8 11.7 (12.3) 31.2Magnetics & Sensing & UnallocatedControlsConnectivityCostsTotal 2023\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3mRevenue 280.8 168.1 \u2013 448.9ResultUnderlying operating profit/(loss) 38.4 25.6 (12.2) 51.8Acquisition and disposal expenses \u2013 (1.8) 0.4 (1.4)Amortisation of acquired intangible assets (6.3) (9.5) \u2013 (15.8)Operating profit/(loss) 32.1 14.3 (11.8) 34.6Segment assets and liabilitiesFor the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Directors monitor the net assets attributable to each segment.

Underlying performance measuresThese Financial Statements include underlying performance measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS. These alternative performance measures have been selected by management to assist them in making operating decisions as they represent the underlying operating performance of the Group and facilitate internal comparisons of performance over time.Underlying performance measures are presented in these Financial Statements as management believe they provide investors with a means of evaluating performance of the Group on a consistent basis, similar to the way in which management evaluates performance, that is not otherwise apparent on an IFRS basis, given that certain strategic non-recurring and acquisition-related items that management does not believe are indicative of the underlying operating performance of the Group are included when preparing financial measures under IFRS. The trading results of acquired businesses are included in underlying performance.The Directors consider there to be the following key underlying performance measures:Underlying operating profit\u201cUnderlying operating profit\u201d is defined as operating profit excluding acquisition and disposal related costs (namely amortisation of acquired intangible assets and acquisition and disposal expenses).Acquisition and disposal expenses comprise transaction costs relating to acquisitions and disposals, contingent consideration relating to the retention of former owners of acquired businesses, adjustments to previously estimated contingent consideration, costs related to integration of acquired businesses into the Group and expenses incurred in relation to the disposal of the Santon solar business unit.Underlying EBITDA\u201cUnderlying EBITDA\u201d is defined as underlying operating profit with depreciation, amortisation, equity-settled share-based payment expense and IAS 19 pension cost added back.Underlying operating margin\u201cUnderlying operating margin\u201d is defined as underlying operating profit divided by revenue.Underlying profit before tax\u201cUnderlying profit before tax\u201d is defined as profit before tax excluding acquisition and disposal related costs (namely amortisation of acquired intangible assets and acquisition and disposal expenses).Underlying tax charge / Underlying effective Tax Rate (\u201cETR\u201d)\u201cUnderlying tax charge\u201d is defined as the tax charge adjusted for the tax effect of the acquisition and disposal related costs (namely amortisation of acquired intangible assets and acquisition and disposal expenses) and other tax charges and credits relating to acquisitions and disposals.\u201cUnderlying ETR\u201d is defined as underlying tax charge divided by underlying profit before tax.Underlying profit after tax\u201cUnderlying profit after tax\u201d is defined as profit for the year excluding acquisition and disposal related costs (namely amortisation of acquired intangible assets and acquisition and disposal expenses), net of the tax effect on underlying profit.Underlying earnings per share\u201cUnderlying earnings per share\u201d is calculated as underlying profit before tax reduced by the underlying effective tax charge, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares (for diluted earnings per share purposes) in issue during the year. Underlying operating cash flow / Underlying operating cash flow conversion\u201cUnderlying operating cash flow\u201d is defined as underlying EBITDA adjusted for the investment in, or release of, working capital and less the cash cost of capital expenditure and lease payments.\u201cUnderlying operating cash flow conversion\u201d is defined as underlying operating cash flow divided by underlying operating profit.Free cash flow / Free cash flow conversion\u201cFree cash flow\u201d is defined as net cash flow before dividend payments, net proceeds from equity fund raising, the cost of acquisitions and proceeds from business disposals.\u201cFree cash flow conversion\u201d is free cash flow divided by underlying profit after tax.Return on capital employed (\u201cROCE\u201d) / Return on tangible capital employed (\u201cROTCE\u201d)\u201cROCE\u201d is defined as underlying operating profit, including the annualisation of profits of acquired businesses, as a percentage of net assets excluding net debt, deferred consideration related to discontinued operations, assets held for sale and legacy defined benefit pension asset/(liability).\u201cROTCE\u201d is defined as ROCE excluding the value of acquired goodwill and intangibles, lease liabilities, provision and tax balances.Organic and CER revenue growth\u201cCER revenue growth\u201d is defined as growth rates at constant exchange rates, excluding the impact of nil margin, one-off increase in semiconductor pass-through costs.\u201cOrganic revenue growth\u201d is defined as CER revenue growth adjusted for the effect of acquisitions/disposals in the last 12 months. Gearing ratioGearing ratio is defined as net debt divided by underlying EBITDA, including the annualisation of acquired businesses, adjusted for lease payments.The tables below show the reconciliation to the IFRS reporting measures, for the main underlying performance measures used by the Group.Underlying operating profit / Underlying EBITDAUnderlying operating profit and EBITDA are calculated as follows:20242023 \u00a3m\u00a3mOperating profit 31.2 34.6Add back Acquisition and disposal expenses (a) 9.8 1.4 Amortisation of acquired intangibles (b) 16.2 15.8Underlying operating profit 57.2 51.8Add back Depreciation and amortisation 12.5 11.7 Share-based payment and IAS 19 pension cost 3.4 2.9Underlying EBITDA 73.1 66.4a. Acquisition expenses comprise \u00a33.1m of transaction costs in relation to the acquisition of Silvertel, 2J, Shape, DTI, IKN and ongoing transactions, and \u00a30.8m charge relating to the movement in fair value of contingent consideration and assets acquired on past acquisitions. Disposal expenses comprise \u00a35.9m of costs in relation to the disposal of the Santon solar business unit. During the prior year, acquisition and disposal expenses of \u00a31.4m comprised \u00a31.8m of transaction costs in relation to the acquisition of CDT, Magnasphere and ongoing transactions, \u00a31.5m charge relating to the movement in fair value of contingent consideration and assets acquired on past acquisitions, offset by \u00a30.4m credit relating to disposal costs in connection with the Acal BFi disposal in 2022, and \u00a31.5m in relation to insurance receipts relating to a previous year acquisition of CPI.b. Amortisation charge for intangible assets recognised on acquisition is \u00a316.2m being the amortisation of acquired customer relationships and patents. The equivalent charge last year was \u00a315.8m. The increase relates to the seven acquisitions during the last two years offset by lower amortisation on fully written down acquired intangible assets on past acquisitions.

The recognition of the deferred tax asset is supported by forecasts of sufficient future taxable profits in the relevant jurisdictions. At 31 March 2024, the Group had not recognised any deferred tax asset in respect of tax losses of approximately \u00a326.1m (2023: \u00a324.2m). Deferred tax assets are not recognised where there is insufficient evidence that losses will be utilised.At 31 March 2024, a \u00a31.3m deferred tax liability (2023: \u00a31.0m) has been recognised for withholding taxes payable on the remittance of certain of the Group\u2019s overseas subsidiaries\u2019 unremitted earnings. The aggregate amount of unremitted earnings on which deferred tax has not been recognised is \u00a319.9m (2023: \u00a323.7m). No deferred tax has been recognised on this amount as the Group is able to control the timing of these distributions and is not expecting to distribute these profits in the foreseeable future.An increase in the UK corporation tax rate to 25% had been substantively enacted at 31 March 2022, with effect from 1 April 2023. A rate of 25% has been applied in the measurement of the Group\u2019s UK-based deferred tax assets and liabilities at 31 March 2024.11.

Assets held for saleIn December 2023, the Group agreed to sell certain assets of its Santon solar business unit (the \u201cdisposal group\u201d) based in the Netherlands. The consideration for the disposal comprises \u00a32.6m plus up to \u00a33.4m in relation to inventory transferred to the buyer. Completion of the sale is subject to the transfer of production lines, inventory and other related assets to the buyer\u2019s location. In conjunction with this disposal, the Group also intends to sell its manufacturing facility in the Netherlands with the retained business moving to a smaller facility. The disposals of both the solar business unit and the manufacturing facility are expected to complete in the financial year ending 31 March 2025 and expected to generate net cash inflow of c.\u00a37m after costs. As the Group expects to recover the carrying value of these assets through a sale transaction within the next financial year, in accordance with IFRS 5 \u2018Assets held for sale and discontinued operations\u2019, the disposal group and the manufacturing facility have been classified as assets held for sale at the balance sheet date for the year ended 31 March 2024. The disposal group is not considered to be a major line of operation and does not represent one of the Group\u2019s cash generating units. Accordingly its results are not presented as a discontinued operation for the years ended 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023.In accordance with IFRS 5, a plan to dispose of an asset is considered to be an impairment indicator. Therefore, the assets of the disposal group and the manufacturing facility have been tested for impairment and measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell at the time of the reclassification. This has resulted in the recognition of a write-down of \u00a32.7m relating to the goodwill and other intangible assets of the disposal group during the year ended 31 March 2024. There was no impact on the carrying value of the manufacturing facility. This is a level 2 measurement as per the fair value hierarchy as set out in note 28.The assets included as held for sale and that are presented within total assets of the Sensing & Connectivity segment (note 5), are the following:2024 \u00a3mDisposal group held for saleNon-current assetsProperty, plant and equipment 2.1Intangible assets \u2013 other 0.2Current assetsInventory 1.94.2Non-current assetsProperty, plant and equipment 2.5Total assets classified as held for sale 6.713.

Impairment testing of goodwillGoodwill acquired through business combinations is allocated to cash-generating units (\u201cCGUs\u201d) and tested annually for impairment. Newly acquired entities might be a single CGU until such time as they can be integrated. The Group\u2019s operations are organised into two distinct divisions, Magnetics & Controls (\u201cM&C\u201d) and Sensing & Connectivity (\u201cS&C\u201d). Within each division are aggregated business units which generate largely independent cash inflows and are considered to be individual CGUs from an impairment testing perspective. The carrying value of goodwill is analysed as follows:20242023\u00a3m\u00a3mMagnetics & Controls 106.4 89.0Sensing & Connectivity 125.3 99.1231.7 188.1The movement in goodwill compared to prior year relates mainly to the movement in foreign exchange rates and to Silvertel, 2J, Shape, DTI and IKN which were acquired in the year (note 11).The significant amounts of goodwill are analysed below:20242023\u00a3m\u00a3mNoratel 30.3 31.6Beacon 40.3 41.2Sens-Tech 27.4 27.412J 28.7 \u2013The Group defines significant as 10% of the total carrying value of goodwill. 1 The goodwill for 2J as at 31 March 2024 represented 12% of the total carrying value of the Group goodwill. Given the acquisition completed during the financial year ended 31 March 2024, management considers that the carrying value of this CGU materially approximates to the fair value of the consideration paid on acquisition. The recoverable amount of each CGU is based on value-in-use calculations. The key assumptions used in these calculations relate to future revenue (Compound Annual Growth Rate \u2013 \u201cCAGR\u201d), discount rates and long-term growth rates. Cash flow forecasts for the five-year period from the reporting date are based on the FY 2024/25 Board approved budget and management projections thereon, which are based on historical experience and market outlook.Cash flow projections included in the impairment review models include management\u2019s view of the impact of climate change, including costs related to the effects of climate change, as well as the future costs of the Group\u2019s commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030. The potential increased costs, less any benefits that may occur, to meet these commitments are not expected to be material and have therefore resulted in no impairments during the year ended 31 March 2024.A long-term growth rate (\u201cLTGR\u201d) beyond the five-year period of 2% has been applied consistently across all CGUs (2023: 2%) and is based on the average long-term inflation targets.Discount rates reflect the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU. The discount rate was estimated based on the average percentage weighted average cost of capital for the industry and then further adjusted for country-specific risk.The table below discloses the discount rates and growth rates for each significant CGU:Pre-tax discount rate 5-year sales CAGR2024202320242023%%%%Noratel 14.5 17.3 4.5 6.0Beacon 12.8 13.3 5.0 13.6Sens-Tech 13.3 13.3 4.4 13.0The double-digit sales CAGR for Beacon and Sens-Tech in the prior year related mainly to the recovery from supply chain disruptions.Sensitivity to changes in assumptionsThe Group\u2019s forecast is based on a range of assumptions to determine the value of expected future cash flows. Deviations against those plans and assumptions in terms of revenue and margin projections, operating and capital costs and successful achievement of strategic objectives are all inherently uncertain. Headroom in the impairment test for each CGU has been tested for sensitivity to reasonably possible adverse changes in forecast cash flows, discount rates and long-term growth rates. Overall, adequate headroom is available against material impairment risk. Management has identified three CGUs within the Sensing & Connectivity division, which represent 5%, 3% and 2% of the total carrying amount of goodwill in the Group as at 31 March 2024, where changes in the value-in-use assumptions may lead to the recoverable amount of the CGU to be less than its carrying value. The assumptions made in estimating the value of the future cash flow for these CGUs are pre-tax discount rates of 12.5%, 12.0% and 12.3% respectively, 5-year Sales CAGR of 8.9%, 6.6% and 8.7% respectively and an LTGR of 2% for all three CGUs. The headroom for these CGUs are \u00a32.8m, \u00a32.6m and \u00a32.9m at the date of the assessment. The assumptions that would result in the recoverable amount equalling the carrying amount are 5-year sales CAGR of 8.0% (a reduction of 0.9 percentage points), long-term growth rate of 1.5% (a reduction of 0.5 percentage points), and a pre-tax discount rate of 12.7% (an increase of 0.2 percentage points) for the CGU representing 5% of the total carrying value of the Group goodwill, 5-year sales CAGR of 5.0% (a reduction of 1.6 percentage points), long-term growth rate of 1.5% (a reduction of 0.5 percentage points), and a pre-tax discount rate of 12.5% (an increase of 0.5 percentage points) for the CGU representing 3% of the total carrying value of the Group goodwill, and 5-year sales CAGR of 7.8% (a reduction of 0.9 percentage points), long-term growth rate of 1.5% (a reduction of 0.5 percentage points), and a pre-tax discount rate of 12.7% (an increase of 0.4 percentage points) for the CGU representing 2% of the total carrying value of the Group goodwill.A reduction in LTGR of 0.5% reduces the headroom in the three CGUs by \u00a30.9m, \u00a30.7m and \u00a30.5m respectively and an increase of one percentage point in the pre-tax discount rate reduces the headroom in the three CGUs by \u00a31.7m, \u00a31.3m and \u00a31.0m respectively. A reduction in the 5-year sales CAGR of 2 percentage points reduces the headroom in the three CGUs by \u00a32.5m, \u00a31.7m and \u00a32.9m respectively.None of the changes to individual assumptions above would lead to the carrying amount of the three CGUs exceeding their recoverable amount.For all other CGUs it can be demonstrated that, under reasonable downside sensitivity, there remains sufficient headroom in the recoverable amount of the CGU goodwill balances.19.

Current year other receivables includes \u00a36.1m related to the current portion of the deferred consideration receivable for the disposal of the Acal BFi business.All of the Group\u2019s trade and other receivables are regularly reviewed for indicators of impairment. The credit risk exposure inherent in the Group\u2019s trade receivables is measured and recognised as an impairment provision on initial recognition, based on the expected credit loss method, as required by IFRS 9. Specific provision for impairment may also be required where a specific increase in credit risk is identified, or a credit event has occurred. Provisions for general credit risk exposure is measured with reference to the age of a receivable as debts which are overdue present a specific impairment risk indicator regarding recoverability.In total, the Group has recognised impairment provisions of \u00a32.3m (2023: \u00a32.2m), against trade receivables. This includes a total of \u00a31.2m (2023: \u00a31.1m) of specific provisions for impairment due to increased default risk and unresolved disputes, as well as provision for expected credit losses of \u00a31.1m (2023: \u00a31.1m). Across the Group, general expected credit loss risk has been assessed to be low due to the size, nature and diversification of customers across the divisions. The increase during the year is mainly attributable to macro-economic factors such as increase in interest rates, which are incorporated in the assessment of the Group\u2019s expected credit losses performed annually.The movements in the impairment provisions for trade receivables during the year were as follows:20242023\u00a3m\u00a3mAt 1 April 2.2 1.6Charge for the year 0.4 0.6Exchange adjustments (0.3) \u2013At 31 March 2.3 2.2Details of the net trade receivables ageing are set out below:OverdueNot <3030\u201360 60\u201390 90\u2013120 >120Totalyet duedaysdaysdaysdaysdays \u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m2024 69.3 58.6 8.5 1.4 0.6 0.2 \u20132023 62.4 51.9 8.6 0.9 0.5 0.5 \u2013Non-Current20242023\u00a3m\u00a3mOther receivables 0.2 6.0The other receivables amount of \u00a30.2m (2023: \u00a36.0m) relates to deferred consideration receivable in relation to the disposal of Vertec Scientific SA Proprietary Limited.

The schemes are unfunded. The service cost, representing deferred salaries accruing to employees, is included as an operating expense and determined by reference to local laws and actuarial assumptions where applicable. The key actuarial assumptions used in relation to valuation of the Sri Lankan scheme comprise of mortality rates, staff turnover (16% up to age of 54 and zero thereafter) (2023: 17% up to the age of 54 and zero thereafter), retirement age (60 years) (2023: 60 years), discount rate (12% p.a.)

The provisions greater than one year are expected to be utilised within one to three years. 27. Financial risk controlsManagement of financial riskThe main financial risks faced by the Group are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, which include interest rate risk and currency risk. The Board regularly reviews these risks and has approved written policies covering the use of financial instruments to manage these risks.The Group Finance Director retains the overall responsibility and management of financial risk for the Group. Most of the Group\u2019s financing and interest rate and foreign currency risk management is carried out centrally at Group head office. The Board approves policies and procedures setting out permissible funding and hedging instruments, exposure limits and a system of authorities for the approval of transactions.Management of interest rate riskThe Group has exposure to interest rate risk arising principally from changes in Euro, Sterling and US Dollar interest rates. The Group does not have any hedges in place at the year-end against exposure to interest rate risk.A 1% decrease in interest rates on the Group\u2019s debt position during the year ended 31 March 2024, would have increased the Group\u2019s profit before tax by approximately \u00a31.3m (2023: \u00a30.7m).Management of foreign exchange riskThe Group\u2019s Shareholders\u2019 equity, earnings and cash flows are exposed to foreign exchange risks, due to the mismatch between the currencies in which it purchases inventory and the final currency of sale to its customers. It is Group policy to hedge identified significant foreign exchange exposure on its committed operating cash flows. This is carried out centrally based on forecast orders and sales. The US Dollar and Euro represent the main foreign exchange translational exposures for the Group. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group\u2019s profit before tax to a 10% strengthening in Sterling against US Dollar and Euro. 20242023Profit before tax \u2013 gain/(loss)\u00a3m\u00a3m10% strengthening in Sterling against Euro (0.5) (0.7)10% strengthening in Sterling against US Dollar (1.1) (0.5)Management of credit risk Credit risk exists in relation to customers, banks and insurers. Exposure to credit risk is mitigated by maintaining credit control procedures across a wide customer base.The Group is exposed to credit risk that is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables. This is minimised by dealing with recognised creditworthy third parties who have been through a credit verification process. The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying value of trade and other receivables. As well as credit risk exposures inherent within the Group\u2019s outstanding receivables, the Group is exposed to counterparty credit risk arising from the placing of deposits and entering into derivative financial instrument contracts with banks and financial institutions. The Group manages exposure to this credit risk by entering into financial instrument contracts only with highly credit-rated authorised counterparties which are reviewed and approved annually by the Board. Counterparties\u2019 positions are monitored on a regular basis to ensure that they are within the approved limits and that there are no significant concentrations of credit risks. The Group\u2019s largest customer is approximately 7% (2023: 5%) of Group sales.Management of liquidity riskThe Group manages its exposure to liquidity risk and maximises its flexibility in meeting changing business needs through the cash generation of its operations, combined with bank borrowings and access to long-term debt. In its funding strategy, the Group\u2019s objective is to maintain a balance between the continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts, bank loans and facilities.At 31 March 2024, the Group had net cash of \u00a331.5m (2023: \u00a343.4m). The Group had total working capital facilities available of \u00a3246.8m (2023: \u00a3246.3m) with a number of major UK and overseas banks, of which \u00a3240m (2023: \u00a3240m) were committed facilities. The Group had drawn \u00a3137.4m against total facilities at 31 March 2024 (2023: \u00a388.1m). In addition, the Group has an \u00a380m accordion facility that it can use to extend the total facility up to \u00a3320m. The syndicated facility is available both for acquisitions and for working capital purposes. The facilities are subject to certain financial covenants, which had significant headroom at 31 March 2024.Management of capitalThe Group\u2019s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain robust capital ratios to support the development of the business with a view to providing strong returns to Shareholders. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group increases bank borrowings, issues new shares or changes the amount of dividends paid to Shareholders. In respect of this objective, the Group has a target gearing range of between 1.5 and 2.0 times. Gearing at 31 March 2024 was at the bottom of the range at 1.5 times (2023: 0.7). The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 23, cash and cash equivalents in note 22 and equity attributable to Shareholders.28. Financial assets and liabilitiesFair values The Group\u2019s principal non-derivative financial instruments comprise bank loans and overdrafts, cash and short-term borrowings. The Group also holds other financial instruments such as trade receivables and trade payables that arise directly from the Group\u2019s trading operations.Derivative financial instruments are represented by short-term foreign currency forward contracts placed by the Group with external banks as part of the Group\u2019s cash management and foreign currency risk management activities. The fair value of derivative foreign exchange instruments is determined on initial recognition at forward market exchange rates at inception of the contract and subsequently remeasured based on forward market exchange rates at the balance sheet date. As at 31 March 2024, the fair value of derivatives was \u00a3nil (2023: \u00a30.1m). Prior year position is included within other receivables in note 21.The carrying values of the Group\u2019s trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and assets held for sale are disclosed in notes 21, 29 and 12. The carrying value of these items approximates book value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of the Group\u2019s other financial assets and financial liabilities are set out below by category. Carrying values for all financial assets and liabilities are equivalent to fair values.Carrying FairCarrying Fairamount valueamount value2024202420232023\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3mFinancial assetsCash at bank and in hand 110.8 110.8 83.9 83.9Financial assets at amortised costDeferred consideration 6.3 6.3 6.0 6.0Financial liabilities at amortised costBank overdrafts and short-term borrowings (79.3) (79.3) (40.5) (40.5)Non-current interest-bearing loans and borrowings: Fixed and floating rate borrowings (135.5) (135.5) (86.1) (86.1)Lease liabilities (20.1) (20.1) (18.8) (18.8)Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (\u201cFVTPL\u201d)Contingent consideration (6.7) (6.7) (4.1) (4.1)The methods and assumptions used to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are set out below. All material changes in fair value of financial instruments as at the balance sheet date have been recognised in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss. Impairment reviews did not identify any material impairment of financial assets from carrying values as reported at the balance sheet date and, as such, no material impairments are included in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss.Fair value methods and assumptionsForward foreign exchange contracts (forwards) \u2013 the fair value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined with reference to observable yield curves and foreign exchange rates at the reporting date. The FX contracts outstanding with banks at the year-end had a maturity of one year or less.Loans and borrowings \u2013 the fair value of loans and borrowings has been calculated by discounting future cash flows, where material, at prevailing market interest rates.Fair Value HierarchyFor financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value, as set out in the tables above, the fair value measurement techniques are based upon applying unadjusted, quoted market rates or prices or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liability either directly or indirectly. IFRS 13 \u201cFinancial Instruments: Disclosures\u201d requires financial instruments measured at fair value to be analysed into a fair value hierarchy based upon the valuation technique used to determine fair value. The highest level in this hierarchy is Level 3 within which inputs that are not based on observable market data for the asset or liability are applied. The valuation techniques used by the Group for the measurement of derivative financial instruments, loans and deferred consideration are considered to be within Level 2, which includes inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.Contingent consideration is included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value is determined considering the expected payment, discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The expected payment is determined separately in respect of each individual earn-out agreement taking into consideration the expected level of profitability of each acquisition. The unobservable inputs are the projected forecast measures that are assessed on an annual basis. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration relating to updated projected forecast performance measures are recognised in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss in the period that the change occurs.Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value for contingent consideration payable on acquisitions:20242023\u00a3m\u00a3mAt 1 April 4.1 8.8Contingent consideration arising from current year acquisitions payable in future years 3.0 \u2013Contingent consideration paid in the current year relating to previous years\u2019 acquisitions \u2013 (6.3)Costs charged to the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss: Subsequent adjustments on acquisitions (0.3) 1.3 Exchange difference (0.1) 0.3At 31 March 6.7 4.1Subsequent adjustments on acquisitions of \u00a30.3m credit (2023: \u00a31.3m debit) and exchange differences of \u00a30.1m credit (2023: \u00a30.3m debit) are included within operating costs.Contingent consideration is sensitive to forecast operating profits of the relevant acquired businesses. At 31 March 2024, the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable on acquisitions would increase/(decrease) by \u00a32.4m (2023: \u00a31.0m) if projected forecast profits were higher/lower by c.20%.29.

Included in current year other payables is contingent consideration of \u00a32.2m relating to acquisitions in the current and prior years (2023: \u00a3nil), employee-related payable of \u00a314.7m (\u00a311.5m), VAT payable of \u00a34.0m (2023: \u00a33.6m), a total of \u00a33.6m of customers deposits (2023: \u00a35.7m) and \u00a33.4 other payables (2023: \u00a35.3m).Contract liabilities relate to contracts with customers, recognised and measured in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, and relate to either advance payments received for goods to be delivered in the future or amounts invoiced in respect of performance obligations which are not yet satisfied in full and due to be satisfied within a period of 12 months from the reporting date. Contract liabilities as at 31 March 2024 amounted to \u00a31.2m (2023: \u00a31.1m). Revenue recognised in the reporting period that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period amounted to \u00a31.0m (2023: \u00a31.0m).Certain businesses in the Group participate in supply chain finance arrangements whereby suppliers may elect to receive early payment of their invoices from a bank by factoring their receivable from discoverIE entities. Included within trade payables is \u00a32.0m (2023: \u00a32.3m) subject to such an arrangement.

The LTIP involves a conditional award of shares on a grant of a nil-cost option. The award of shares to Executive Directors and senior management is recommended by the Remuneration Committee on the basis of such factors as their contribution to the Group\u2019s success. The LTIPs are equity-settled and there are no cash-settled alternatives. The vesting of an award is dependent on the individual\u2019s continued employment for a three-year period from the date of grant and the satisfaction by the Company of certain performance conditions. The exercise of the awards is also subject to a two-year holding period from the date of vesting.For awards made in the year ended 31 March 2024, the performance conditions are as follows:\u2022 45% of the award is based on the Company\u2019s comparative total shareholder return (\u201cTSR\u201d) against a comparator group made up of the constituents of the FTSE250 Index;\u2022 45% of the award is based on the Company\u2019s absolute earnings per share (\u201cEPS\u201d) performance;\u2022 10% of the award is subject to the Company\u2019s ESG performance (\u201cESG\u201d), based on the Company\u2019s reduction in carbon emissions;\u2022 For certain operational management, 25% of the award is based on the Company\u2019s absolute earnings per share (\u201cEPS\u201d) performance and 75% of the award is based on local earnings targets.Awards are valued using the Monte Carlo model and Black-Scholes model. No non-market performance conditions were included in the fair value calculations.

The grant of options to Executive Directors and senior management is recommended by the Remuneration Committee on the basis of their contribution to the Group\u2019s success. The options vest after three years. The exercise price of the options is equal to the closing mid-market price of the shares on the trading day prior to the date of the grant. Exercise of all options is subject to continued employment. The life of each option granted is ten years. There are no cash settlement alternatives.Options are valued using the Black-Scholes model. No non-market performance conditions were included in the fair value calculations.

Pension Defined contribution schemesThe Group makes payments to various defined contribution pension schemes, the assets of which are held in separately administered funds. In the United Kingdom, the relevant scheme is the discoverIE Group plc Employee Pension Scheme (\u201cthe discoverIE scheme\u201d). Contributions by both employees and Group companies are held in externally invested trustee-administered funds.The Group contributes a specified percentage of earnings for members of the discoverIE scheme, and thereafter has no further obligations in relation to the discoverIE scheme. At 31 March 2024, 94 employees were active members of the discoverIE scheme (2023: 91). The total cost charged to the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss in relation to the UK-based discoverIE scheme was \u00a3459,000 (2023: \u00a3595,000). Employer contributions in respect of other UK-based schemes and overseas pension schemes were \u00a3650,000 (2023: \u00a3730,000) and \u00a32,812,000 (2023: \u00a32,587,000) respectively. Total contributions payable in the next financial year are expected to be at rates broadly similar to those in FY 2023/24 but based on actual salary levels in FY 2024/25.Defined benefit schemesThe acquisition of the Sedgemoor Group in June 1999 brought with it certain defined benefit pension schemes, together \u201cthe Sedgemoor Scheme\u201d. The Sedgemoor Scheme is funded by the Group, provides retirement benefits based on final pensionable salary and its assets are held in a separate trustee-administered fund. Following the acquisition of the Sedgemoor Group, the Sedgemoor Scheme was closed to new members. Shortly thereafter, employees were given the opportunity to join the discoverIE scheme and future service benefits ceased to accrue to members under the Sedgemoor Scheme. Contributions to the Sedgemoor Scheme are determined in accordance with the advice of independent, professionally qualified actuaries and are set based upon funding valuations carried out every three years.Based upon the results of the triennial funding valuation at 31 March 2021, the Sedgemoor Scheme\u2019s Trustees agreed with Sedgemoor Limited on behalf of the participating employers to continue the same rate of participating employer\u2019s contributions under the deficit recovery plan agreed at the previous valuation at 31 March 2018. This required contributions of \u00a31.9m over the year to 31 March 2022, with future contributions of \u00a31.9m p.a. increasing by 3% each April payable over the period to 30 April 2024. After the valuation, in December 2022, it was agreed with the Trustees that, with effect from January 2023, these contributions could be paid into an escrow account to the benefit of the Trustees unless and until such time as pension benefits are fully secured with an insurer and the scheme wound up. For the year ended 31 March 2024, a total of \u00a32.0m (2023: \u00a30.2m) was paid into the escrow account and is reported under trade and other receivables.The estimated amount of total employer contributions expected to be paid to the Sedgemoor Scheme during FY 2024/25 is \u00a3nil (FY 2023/24 actual: \u00a3nil). \u00a30.8m is expected to be paid into the escrow account in FY 2024/25. There is a risk that adverse experience could lead to a requirement for Sedgemoor Limited to make additional contributions to recover any deficit that arises.The main actuarial assumptions used are set out as follows:2024 2023Rate of increase of pensions in payment 2.5% 2.5%Discount rate 4.8% 4.8%Inflation assumption \u2013 RPI 3.4% 3.5%Inflation assumption \u2013 CPI* 2.3% 2.4%*3.3% from 2030The discount rate is based on the yields on AA grade Sterling corporate bonds at the reporting date. Pensioner mortality assumptions are based on 110% of the \u201cS3NA\u201d table, projected from 2013 and with long-term improvement rates in line with CMI 2021 core projections based on each member\u2019s actual date of birth with a long-term annual rate of improvement of 1.25% p.a., allowing for a 10% weighting of 2022 mortality date reflecting the best estimate impact on long-term mortality trends brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation at 31 March 2024 was 10 years (2023: 10 years).The Directors consider that, were a pension asset to be realised in respect of this scheme after all member benefits have been paid and after the scheme is wound up, this would be fully recoverable by the Group in line with the rules of the scheme. Therefore, the IAS 19 surplus is recognised in full under current accounting standards.The investment strategy is set by the Trustees of the Sedgemoor Scheme in consultation with the Company. The current strategy is to invest in liability-driven investments, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and liquidity funds. As part of this strategy, the Trustees hedge the Scheme against future changes in gilt market-implied interest rate and inflation expectations relative to a prudent valuation of the liabilities based on the yield on gilts (as such, the Scheme over-hedges these risks relative to the IAS 19 liability value). As the Sedgemoor Scheme mostly invests in pooled funds, the fair value of assets reflects the fund managers\u2019 valuation rather than quoted prices in active markets, however, the fund values are all based on the prices of the underlying investments within each fund. Remeasurements are recognised immediately through other comprehensive income.The charges recognised in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss in respect of defined benefit schemes are as follows:20242023\u00a3m\u00a3mPension charge (recognised in operating costs) 0.9 0.7Past service costThe charges recognised in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income are as follows:20242023Remeasurement (losses)/gains:\u00a3m\u00a3mReturn on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest expense) (1.4) (7.9)Actuarial changes arising from changes in actuarial assumptions 0.2 6.7Actuarial loss recorded in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (1.2) (1.2)There was no additional actuarial loss relating to the unfunded retirement and leaving indemnity schemes (note 26) recorded in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.The fair value of assets and expected rates of return used to determine the amounts recognised in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position are as follows:20242023\u00a3m\u00a3mBonds 6.9 8.4Cash 5.9 1.2Liability-driven investments 6.3 7.8Infrastructure \u2013 4.7Asset-backed security 9.0 8.8Fair value of scheme assets 28.1 30.9Present value of funded defined benefit obligations (27.8) (28.6)Asset recognised in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position 0.3 2.3Over the year to 31 March 2024, the surplus reduced from \u00a32.3m to \u00a30.3m.

"value": "2. Accounting policiesStatement of complianceThe Group\u2019s consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (UK-adopted IAS) in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the disclosure guidance and transparency rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom\u2019s Financial Conduct Authority.The separate Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101 \u2018Reduced Disclosure Framework\u2019 (FRS 101). On publishing the Company\u2019s Financial Statements here together with the Group\u2019s Financial Statements, the Company is taking advantage of the exemption in section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its individual Statement of Profit or Loss and related notes that form a part of these approved Financial Statements.The following exemptions from the requirements of the UK-adopted IAS have been applied in the preparation of the Company\u2019s Financial Statements, in accordance with FRS 101:\u2022 Cash Flow Statement and respective disclosures and information;\u2022 Disclosures in relation to capital management;\u2022 Disclosures in relation to financial instruments;\u2022 Disclosures in respect of the compensation of key management personnel; and\u2022 Disclosures in respect of transactions between two or more members of the Group.For the following disclosures, as the Group\u2019s consolidated Financial Statements include the equivalent disclosures, the Company has taken the exemptions available under FRS 101: \u2022 IFRS 2 \u2018Share-based payments\u2019 in respect of Group equity-settled share-based payments;\u2022 Certain disclosures required by IFRS 13 \u2018Fair Value Measurement\u2019.Basis of preparationThe Group consolidated Financial Statements and the Company Financial Statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated.The Group and Company Financial Statements are presented in Pounds Sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest hundred thousand except as otherwise indicated. The Group has engaged in an ongoing review of expected climate change impacts on the business and its assets and liabilities to establish any adjustments required and what reporting is necessary in its consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. The ongoing risk assessment is detailed within the climate-related risks and opportunities section on page 76 of the Risk Management section and in the Summary Disclosure Against TCFD Recommendations on pages 65 to 70 in the Strategic Report.The process has involved a review of all balance sheet line items and future cash flows, to identify if any of these items is expected to be materially impacted in a negative or positive way by weather, legislative, societal or revenue/cost changes.The conclusion of the review was that, whilst there will undoubtedly be impacts on the Group, the highly disaggregated nature of the operations of the Group and the target markets the Group operates in, significantly reduces the risk profile of the Group to impacts from weather-related changes. The changes necessary to achieve the Group\u2019s net zero by 2030 commitment is not expected to have a materially adverse impact on the cash flows of the Group and indeed, warmer climates may present enhanced opportunities in our target markets as disclosed on pages 24 to 29 of this report. Societal and legislative impacts are not considered to have a material impact on any one segment such that we need to break out reporting in a different way to previous years. Judgements are not considered to be significant, although clearly understanding of climate change is developing with time. The area with the most judgement is goodwill impairment testing and a description is given in note 18 of the incremental processes undertaken to assess the climate change impact on the valuations. Management review has concluded that there is no material impact and that no further disclosure is required.Going concernIn line with IAS 1 \u201cPresentation of Financial Statements\u201d and revised guidance on \u201crisk management, internal control and related financial and business reporting\u201d, management has taken into account all available information about the future for a period of at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements when assessing the Group\u2019s and Company\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern.The Group\u2019s business activities, together with factors which may adversely impact its future development, performance and position, are set out in the Strategic Report on pages 1 to 85. The financial position of the Group, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities are described in the Finance Review section of the Strategic Report on pages 38 to 43. The Group\u2019s forecasts and projections, taking account of the sensitivity analysis of changes in trading performance, show that the Group is well placed to operate within its current debt facilities of \u00a3240m committed up to the end of August 2027.The Viability Base Case, as stated on pages 82 to 83 has been subjected to sensitivity analysis involving flexing a number of the underlying key assumptions, both individually and in conjunction. The sensitivities take into account the principal risks and uncertainties set out on pages 75 to 81, notably instability in the economic environment, underperformance of acquired businesses, climate-related risks, loss of key customers and suppliers, major business disruption, liquidity restriction, debt covenants and adverse foreign currency movements. The most severe but plausible downside scenario assumes a worsening of the economic environment caused by a number of factors including geo-political events and significant reduction in consumer demand due to continuing inflationary pressures and elevated interest rates. This downside scenario results in a significant decline in second half sales of FY 2024/25, negative sales growth in FY 2025/26 and modest growth thereon in FY 2026/27. Additionally, operating margin was reduced, working capital materially increased, significant one-off expenditures included (such as product liability, major customer insolvency or litigation, climate change, cyber-security incident), interest rates increased, and the Group effective tax rate increased.After factoring in all of the significant additional downsides, there remains good headroom both in terms of liquidity and banking covenants. This is supported by the fact that the Group sells a wide portfolio of different products across a diverse set of industries and geographies, has low customer/supplier concentration, has a global supply chain network, diverse manufacturing capacity, and has well-established relationships with its customers. These factors are considered important in mitigating many of the risks that could affect the long-term viability of the Group. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its principal risks and uncertainties as disclosed on pages 75 to 81 of the Strategic Report.Reverse stress testing has also been applied to the most plausible downside scenario to determine the level of downside that would be required before the Group would breach its existing financial covenants or current liquidity headroom during the assessment period. The reverse stress test was conducted on the basis that certain mitigating actions would be undertaken to reduce overheads and capital expenditure during the period as sales declined and, on that basis, a fall in underlying operating margin to below 6% in FY 2024/25 would be required before such a breach occurred. The Board considers the possibility of such a scenario to be remote and further mitigation, such as hiring freezes, pay and bonus reductions, headcount reductions, reduction in planned capital expenditure, suspension of dividend payments and equity raise, would be available if future trading conditions indicated that such an outcome were possible.The Company acts as a holding company for investments in the subsidiaries and does not engage in any trading activities directly and thus is dependent on the trading activities of its subsidiaries. The Company holds sufficient net current assets as at 31 March 2024 to continue as a going concern.The Directors are confident that the Company and the Group have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and Financial Statements.Basis of consolidation The Group\u2019s consolidated Financial Statements consolidate the results of discoverIE Group plc and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries).The consolidated Financial Statements comprise the Financial Statements of the Group and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2024. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its control over it. In assessing control, the Group takes into account: (i) the power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct its relevant activities); (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.The Group reassesses whether or not it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, profits and losses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated Financial Statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.When necessary, adjustments are made to the Financial Statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group\u2019s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.Business combinations and goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree.When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions at the acquisition date. Any contingent consideration payable to the vendor is measured and recognised at fair value through profit and loss (\u201cFVTPL\u201d) at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is deemed to be an asset or liability, are recognised in accordance with IFRS 9 \u201cFinancial Instruments: Classification and measurement\u201d either in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss or in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for the non-controlling interest over the net identifiable amounts of the fair value of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in exchange for the business combination. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in transactions separate to the business combinations, such as the settlement of pre-existing relationships or post-acquisition remuneration arrangements, are accounted for separately from the business combination in accordance with their nature and applicable standard. Identifiable intangible assets, meeting either the contractual-legal or separability criterion are recognised separately from goodwill. Contingent liabilities representing a present obligation are recognised if the acquisition-date fair value can be measured reliably.After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group\u2019s cash-generating units (\u201cCGUs\u201d) that are expected to benefit from the business combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Each unit or group of units to which goodwill is allocated shall represent the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and shall not be larger than a reportable operating segment. Where goodwill forms part of a CGU, and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained.Non-current assets held for saleAn asset or liability is classified as held for sale if it is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets and that it is highly probable the asset will be sold within one year from the date of classification. Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Additional disclosures are provided in note 12.Investments (Company only)Investments in subsidiary and associate undertakings are stated initially at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including directly attributable transaction costs. The carrying values are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable. Intangible assets \u2013 otherOther intangible assets that are separately acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Other intangible assets acquired through a business combination are recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses from the date of acquisition. Amortisation is charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss within operating costs on a straight-line basis over the useful economic lives of the intangible assets. The estimated useful economic lives are as follows: (a) Software (implementation costs of IT systems) 3 to 10 years(b) Acquired intangible assets: \u2022 Customer relationships 5 to 12 years\u2022 Patents Patent term(c) Intangible assets \u2013 research and developmentExpenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. An internally generated intangible asset arising from the Group\u2019s development activities is capitalised only if all of the following conditions are met: (a) an asset is created that can be identified; (b) it is probable that the asset created will generate future economic benefits; and (c) the development cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Internally generated intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives between five and ten years and charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss. The Group only capitalises costs relating to the configuration and customisation of Software-as-a-service arrangements (\u201cSaaS\u201d) as intangible assets where control of the asset exists. Costs that are paid to SaaS suppliers in advance of the service provided are recognised in prepayments and amortised over the service period.All other development expenditure is written off in the accounting period in which it is incurred. Property, plant and equipment Items of owned property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost consists of all those elements which are directly attributable to bringing the asset into working condition for its intended use. Where there has been an indication of impairment in value such that the recoverable amount of an asset falls below its net book value, provision is made for such impairment. Wherever possible, individual assets are tested for impairment. However, impairment can often be tested only for groups of assets because the cash flows upon which the calculation is based do not arise from the use of a single asset. In these cases, impairment is measured for the smallest group of assets (the cash generating unit) that produces a largely independent income stream. The cost of property, plant and equipment is charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss on a straight-line basis over the assets\u2019 estimated useful economic lives, taking into account their estimated residual value. The principal annual rates of depreciation are: Land and buildings Freehold property 2% to 4% per annumLeasehold buildings Shorter of lease term and useful lifeLand Not depreciatedLeasehold improvements 10% to 20% per annum or over the life of the lease if shorterPlant and equipment 5% to 33% per annumImpairment of non-financial assetsThe carrying amounts of the Group\u2019s assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such an indication exists, the asset\u2019s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of the asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their net selling price and value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. When estimating the future cash flows for the value-in-use calculation, the Group includes projections of cash outflows including central costs that are necessarily incurred to generate the cash inflows and that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to each CGU.Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first against the carrying value of any goodwill allocated to that unit, and then against the carrying values of other assets in the unit, on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.Financial instrumentsFinancial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Unconditional receivables and payables are recognised as assets or liabilities when the Group becomes a party to the contract and, as a consequence, has a legal right to receive or a legal obligation to pay cash. However, recognition of financial assets to be acquired and financial liabilities to be incurred as a result of a firm commitment to purchase or sell goods or services, such as trade receivables and trade payables, is usually delayed until at least one of the parties has performed under the agreement and the ordered goods or services have been shipped, delivered or rendered. A forward contract that is within the scope of IFRS 9, such as a forward foreign exchange contract, is recognised as an asset or a liability on the commitment date at which point the fair value of the right and obligation are usually equal and the net fair value of the forward contract on initial recognition is zero. If the net fair value of the right and obligation is not zero, the contract is recognised as an asset or liability. The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are only offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and the liability simultaneously.Allowance for expected credit losses The Group measures loss allowances for financial assets, including trade receivables, at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses (\u201cECL\u201d). This requires consideration of both historical and forward-looking information when considering potential impairment of trade receivables. A provision matrix is used to calculate the expected credit loss, which is based upon historical observed default rates adjusted for forward-looking information to create an adjusted default rate, which is applied to the outstanding invoices at the balance sheet date.Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. Credit-impaired financial assetsAt each reporting date the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred, such as a significant change in the credit risk profile of a customer, a debt has become significantly overdue or a contract default.Write-off of financial assets The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written down to its recoverable amount when the Group has no reasonable expectation of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.Derivative financial instrumentsThe Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange risks arising from operational activities. It principally employs forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions. The fair value of derivative foreign exchange instruments is determined on initial recognition at forward market exchange rates at inception of the contract and subsequently remeasured based on forward market exchange rates at the balance sheet date.Inventories Inventories comprise finished goods, goods held for resale, raw materials and work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making allowance for any obsolete or slow-moving items. Cost comprises direct materials, inward carriage and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash balances and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts represent short-term borrowings repayable on demand and are shown within other financial liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.The cash balances are separately presented gross in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position, rather than netted off against overdraft held either by the same entity, or other Group entities, with the same bank, despite the existence of a legal right of set off.BorrowingsBorrowings are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis. ProvisionsA provision is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where the effect is material, provisions are discounted to present value. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring has either commenced or has been publicly announced. Future operating costs are not provided for. The Group also recognises provisions for dilapidation, warranty, retirement indemnity and severance.LeasingThe Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease, that is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Separating components of a contract Contracts usually combine different kinds of obligation of the supplier, which may be formed by lease components or lease and non-lease components, such as maintenance or services. The Group identifies the lease and non-lease components and accounts for those separately, applying the relevant standard to each one. Consideration is allocated to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease component.Lease term The Group considers the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease plus periods covered by an option to extend or an option to terminate if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option or not exercise the termination option.i) Right of use assets The Group recognises right of use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right of use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, provision for decommissioning the asset at the end of the contract, less any lease incentives received. Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.ii) Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, when applicable.The lease payments also include, when applicable, the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are usually recognised as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is a combination of country-specific government bond yields, used as a proxy for a risk-free rate, calculated over various periods linked to existing lease terms. This rate is adjusted for borrowing costs and risks specific to each entity of the Group.After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, such as a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. Any adjustment of the lease liability is reflected as an adjustment to the right of use asset. If the carrying amount of the right of use asset has already been reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.The Group has adopted the practical expedient under IFRS 16 not to recognise right of use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, with a lease term of 12 months or less, and leases in which the underlying asset is of low value. Lease payments relating to these leases are expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.Borrowing costsBorrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, in accordance with the effective interest rate method.Pensions Payments to defined contribution pension schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. In respect of defined benefit pension schemes, the position recognised in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation, reduced by the fair value of the scheme assets. Obligations to provide future benefits to employees earned through prior service are estimated and discounted to present value. Plan assets are measured at fair value. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined by actuarial valuation, using the projected unit credit method.Any pension asset surplus would be fully recoverable by the Group in line with the rules of the scheme. Therefore, the IAS 19 surplus is recognised in full under current accounting standards.Actuarial remeasurement of the net defined benefit asset or liability comprises (a) actuarial gains and losses, (b) the return on plan assets in excess of the amount included in net interest on the net defined benefit asset or liability, and (c) any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (where applicable), excluding any amount included in net interest on the net defined benefit asset or liability; and is recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Position with a corresponding entry in retained earnings through Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement gains or losses are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.Share-based paymentsCertain employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as a consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). The Group operates a \u201cLong Term Incentive Plan \u2013 LTIP\u201d and an \u201cApproved and unapproved executive share option scheme \u2013 CSOP\u201d.The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date the grant is made, calculated using an option pricing model, and is recognised as an expense over the three-year vesting period, which ends on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of non-market vesting conditions.For the LTIP, at each reporting date before vesting, the cumulative expense is calculated, representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management\u2019s best estimate of the achievement or otherwise of non-market conditions and hence the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest, also taking into consideration the impact of forfeitures and cancellations during the year. The movement in cumulative expense since the previous reporting date is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss, with a corresponding entry in equity.The CSOP awards are subject only to continuing service of the employee. At each reporting date, the cumulative expense, calculated on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period, and taking into consideration forfeitures and cancellations during the year, is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss, with a corresponding entry in equity.The issuance by the Company to its subsidiaries employees of a grant of options over the Company\u2019s shares represents additional capital contributions by the Company in its subsidiaries. The additional capital contribution is based on the fair value of the grant issued, allocated over the underlying grant\u2019s vesting period. Taxation Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Group measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Financial Statements, with the following exceptions:\u2022 where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;\u2022 in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and\u2022 deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, carried forward tax credits or tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related asset is realised or liability is settled, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.Income tax is charged or credited directly to equity or Other Comprehensive Income if it relates to items that are credited or charged to equity or Other Comprehensive Income respectively. Otherwise, income tax is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.Pillar Two legislation was substantively enacted in the UK on 20 June 2023 based on model rules published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the \u201cPillar Two legislation\u201d). The legislation is effective for the financial year beginning 1 April 2024 for the Group. The Group has performed an assessment of its potential exposure to income taxes arising under Pillar Two legislation and the Group\u2019s annual revenue does not meet the legislation\u2019s threshold of \u20ac750m. In addition, the tax rates in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates are above 15%. Therefore no specific disclosures have been included as a result of the amendment to IAS 12 relating to the Pillar Two rules referred to in note 3.Foreign currency translationTransactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and gains or losses on translation are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss. The Group recognises currency gains and losses arising from the retranslation of the opening net assets of foreign operations as a movement on reserves, net of tax. The differences that arise from translating the results of overseas businesses at average rates of exchange, and their assets and liabilities at closing rates, are dealt with in a separate currency translation reserve. All other currency gains and losses are dealt with in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss.Revenue recognitionThe Group realises revenue from its principal activities through the sale of highly differentiated electronic products in four target markets: renewable energy, transportation, medical and industrial & connectivity. Revenue is recognised in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, excluding value added tax and other sales related taxes. Transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service promised in the contract. If a standalone selling price is not observable, the Group estimates it. The transaction price may include a discount or a variable amount of consideration that relates entirely or to a part of the contract. The Group will review the requirements and specify when the variable amount should be allocated to one or more, but not all, performance obligations in the contract.Control of a good or service is obtained when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the benefits from the good or service. The Group recognises revenue from product sales at a point in time on shipment, on delivery or when goods are accepted by the customer, depending on the Incoterm used for the sale transaction.Product support and maintenance services are recognised over the period of the service delivery as the customer receives the benefit of the service over time; progress is measured by reference to service periods.When another party is involved in providing goods or services to the customer, the Group determines whether the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to provide the specified goods or services itself (principal) or to arrange for those goods or services to be provided by the other party (agent) and recognises revenue accordingly.Contract balancesReceivablesReceivables are billed under the terms of the contract for delivered goods and services that are not conditional on anything other than the passage of time. They are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. These assets are classified as trade receivables.Contract liabilitiesContract liabilities represent the Group\u2019s unsatisfied obligation(s) for the transfer of goods or services to the customer for which consideration has been received from the customer; and/or advance payments received from a customer in consideration of future performance obligations. Segment reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board.Dividends paidDividends are recognised when they meet the criteria for recognition as a liability. In relation to final dividends, this is when the dividend is approved by the Shareholders in the general meeting, and in relation to interim dividends, when paid.Dividend incomeDividend income is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss on the date the Group\u2019s right to receive payment is established.Material accounting judgements and estimatesThe preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other applicable factors, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and any revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.Information about judgements, assumptions and estimation uncertainties as at 31 March 2024 that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next financial year is addressed regarding: \u2022 Impairment of non-financial assets (Group and Company): Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, in accordancewith IAS 36. The Group is required to ensure that its assets are not impaired and are carried at no more than their recoverable amount, measured based on their fair value less cost to sell or value-in-use. Assets which do not generate independent cash flows are required to be grouped together into CGUs and tested for impairment. In determining the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU, estimates and assumptions must be made in determining the value of those future cash flows. For a CGU this includes assessment of future revenue, operating profit, discount rates and long-term growth rates. Central costs that are necessarily incurred to generate the cash inflows and that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to each CGU are included in the value-in-use calculation. Uncertainty inherent in making judgements and estimates means that there is a risk that the estimated recoverable amount could result in a material adjustment in future accounting periods. Note 18 provides more details.\u2022 Measurement of defined benefit asset/obligation (Group only): The present value of the defined benefit asset/obligation depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net expense and balance sheet position include discount rates, inflation andmortality rates. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of defined benefit asset/obligation. The actuarial assumptions used in determining the carrying amount at 31 March 2024 are set out in note 32. \u2022 Fair value of assets acquired in a business combination (Group only): Estimates are made in the assessment of fairvalue of the consideration and net assets acquired, including the identification and valuation of intangible assets and theiruseful lives. Estimates used include customer attrition rates, discount rate and trading forecast. Note 11 provides details of business combinations. \u2022 Value of investments (Company only): Investments in subsidiaries are reviewed annually for impairment whenindicators for impairment are identified. Determining whether the Company\u2019s investments in subsidiaries have been impaired requires estimations of the investments\u2019 values-in-use or consideration of the net asset value of the entity. The value-in-use calculations require the Directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the investments,using estimates such as for future revenue, operating profit, discount rates and long-term growth rates to calculate present values.\u2022 Cash offsetting (Group and Company): Judgements are made when assessing the intention to net settle outstanding overdraft positions at the balance sheet date in order to meet the disclosure requirements for presenting cash balances net of overdrafts in the consolidated and Company Statement of Financial Position. For the year ended 31 March 2024, the offsetting criteria for balances within the Group\u2019s cash pooling arrangements have not been met, therefore, balances have not been offset. \u2022 Classification of assets as held for sale (Group): Judgements are made when assessing if the carrying amount of certain assets will be recovered principally through the sale rather than through continuing use, as well as if they are available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is highly probable. These assets are presented as assets held for sale in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For the year ended 31 March 2024, the Group has \u00a36.7m of assets related to the disposal of the Santon solar business unit, classified as held for sale. Note 12 provides details.",

"value": "Basis of preparationThe Group consolidated Financial Statements and the Company Financial Statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated.The Group and Company Financial Statements are presented in Pounds Sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest hundred thousand except as otherwise indicated. The Group has engaged in an ongoing review of expected climate change impacts on the business and its assets and liabilities to establish any adjustments required and what reporting is necessary in its consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. The ongoing risk assessment is detailed within the climate-related risks and opportunities section on page 76 of the Risk Management section and in the Summary Disclosure Against TCFD Recommendations on pages 65 to 70 in the Strategic Report.The process has involved a review of all balance sheet line items and future cash flows, to identify if any of these items is expected to be materially impacted in a negative or positive way by weather, legislative, societal or revenue/cost changes.The conclusion of the review was that, whilst there will undoubtedly be impacts on the Group, the highly disaggregated nature of the operations of the Group and the target markets the Group operates in, significantly reduces the risk profile of the Group to impacts from weather-related changes. The changes necessary to achieve the Group\u2019s net zero by 2030 commitment is not expected to have a materially adverse impact on the cash flows of the Group and indeed, warmer climates may present enhanced opportunities in our target markets as disclosed on pages 24 to 29 of this report. Societal and legislative impacts are not considered to have a material impact on any one segment such that we need to break out reporting in a different way to previous years. Judgements are not considered to be significant, although clearly understanding of climate change is developing with time. The area with the most judgement is goodwill impairment testing and a description is given in note 18 of the incremental processes undertaken to assess the climate change impact on the valuations. Management review has concluded that there is no material impact and that no further disclosure is required.",

"value": "Going concernIn line with IAS 1 \u201cPresentation of Financial Statements\u201d and revised guidance on \u201crisk management, internal control and related financial and business reporting\u201d, management has taken into account all available information about the future for a period of at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements when assessing the Group\u2019s and Company\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern.The Group\u2019s business activities, together with factors which may adversely impact its future development, performance and position, are set out in the Strategic Report on pages 1 to 85. The financial position of the Group, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities are described in the Finance Review section of the Strategic Report on pages 38 to 43. The Group\u2019s forecasts and projections, taking account of the sensitivity analysis of changes in trading performance, show that the Group is well placed to operate within its current debt facilities of \u00a3240m committed up to the end of August 2027.The Viability Base Case, as stated on pages 82 to 83 has been subjected to sensitivity analysis involving flexing a number of the underlying key assumptions, both individually and in conjunction. The sensitivities take into account the principal risks and uncertainties set out on pages 75 to 81, notably instability in the economic environment, underperformance of acquired businesses, climate-related risks, loss of key customers and suppliers, major business disruption, liquidity restriction, debt covenants and adverse foreign currency movements. The most severe but plausible downside scenario assumes a worsening of the economic environment caused by a number of factors including geo-political events and significant reduction in consumer demand due to continuing inflationary pressures and elevated interest rates. This downside scenario results in a significant decline in second half sales of FY 2024/25, negative sales growth in FY 2025/26 and modest growth thereon in FY 2026/27. Additionally, operating margin was reduced, working capital materially increased, significant one-off expenditures included (such as product liability, major customer insolvency or litigation, climate change, cyber-security incident), interest rates increased, and the Group effective tax rate increased.After factoring in all of the significant additional downsides, there remains good headroom both in terms of liquidity and banking covenants. This is supported by the fact that the Group sells a wide portfolio of different products across a diverse set of industries and geographies, has low customer/supplier concentration, has a global supply chain network, diverse manufacturing capacity, and has well-established relationships with its customers. These factors are considered important in mitigating many of the risks that could affect the long-term viability of the Group. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its principal risks and uncertainties as disclosed on pages 75 to 81 of the Strategic Report.Reverse stress testing has also been applied to the most plausible downside scenario to determine the level of downside that would be required before the Group would breach its existing financial covenants or current liquidity headroom during the assessment period. The reverse stress test was conducted on the basis that certain mitigating actions would be undertaken to reduce overheads and capital expenditure during the period as sales declined and, on that basis, a fall in underlying operating margin to below 6% in FY 2024/25 would be required before such a breach occurred. The Board considers the possibility of such a scenario to be remote and further mitigation, such as hiring freezes, pay and bonus reductions, headcount reductions, reduction in planned capital expenditure, suspension of dividend payments and equity raise, would be available if future trading conditions indicated that such an outcome were possible.The Company acts as a holding company for investments in the subsidiaries and does not engage in any trading activities directly and thus is dependent on the trading activities of its subsidiaries. The Company holds sufficient net current assets as at 31 March 2024 to continue as a going concern.The Directors are confident that the Company and the Group have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and Financial Statements.",

"value": "Basis of consolidation The Group\u2019s consolidated Financial Statements consolidate the results of discoverIE Group plc and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries).The consolidated Financial Statements comprise the Financial Statements of the Group and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2024. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its control over it. In assessing control, the Group takes into account: (i) the power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct its relevant activities); (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.The Group reassesses whether or not it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, profits and losses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated Financial Statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.When necessary, adjustments are made to the Financial Statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group\u2019s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.",

"value": "Business combinations and goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree.When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions at the acquisition date. Any contingent consideration payable to the vendor is measured and recognised at fair value through profit and loss (\u201cFVTPL\u201d) at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is deemed to be an asset or liability, are recognised in accordance with IFRS 9 \u201cFinancial Instruments: Classification and measurement\u201d either in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss or in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for the non-controlling interest over the net identifiable amounts of the fair value of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in exchange for the business combination. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in transactions separate to the business combinations, such as the settlement of pre-existing relationships or post-acquisition remuneration arrangements, are accounted for separately from the business combination in accordance with their nature and applicable standard. Identifiable intangible assets, meeting either the contractual-legal or separability criterion are recognised separately from goodwill. Contingent liabilities representing a present obligation are recognised if the acquisition-date fair value can be measured reliably.After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group\u2019s cash-generating units (\u201cCGUs\u201d) that are expected to benefit from the business combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Each unit or group of units to which goodwill is allocated shall represent the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and shall not be larger than a reportable operating segment. Where goodwill forms part of a CGU, and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained.",

"value": "Property, plant and equipment Items of owned property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost consists of all those elements which are directly attributable to bringing the asset into working condition for its intended use. Where there has been an indication of impairment in value such that the recoverable amount of an asset falls below its net book value, provision is made for such impairment. Wherever possible, individual assets are tested for impairment. However, impairment can often be tested only for groups of assets because the cash flows upon which the calculation is based do not arise from the use of a single asset. In these cases, impairment is measured for the smallest group of assets (the cash generating unit) that produces a largely independent income stream. The cost of property, plant and equipment is charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss on a straight-line basis over the assets\u2019 estimated useful economic lives, taking into account their estimated residual value.

"value": "Impairment of non-financial assetsThe carrying amounts of the Group\u2019s assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such an indication exists, the asset\u2019s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of the asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their net selling price and value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. When estimating the future cash flows for the value-in-use calculation, the Group includes projections of cash outflows including central costs that are necessarily incurred to generate the cash inflows and that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to each CGU.Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first against the carrying value of any goodwill allocated to that unit, and then against the carrying values of other assets in the unit, on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.",

"value": "Financial instrumentsFinancial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Unconditional receivables and payables are recognised as assets or liabilities when the Group becomes a party to the contract and, as a consequence, has a legal right to receive or a legal obligation to pay cash. However, recognition of financial assets to be acquired and financial liabilities to be incurred as a result of a firm commitment to purchase or sell goods or services, such as trade receivables and trade payables, is usually delayed until at least one of the parties has performed under the agreement and the ordered goods or services have been shipped, delivered or rendered. A forward contract that is within the scope of IFRS 9, such as a forward foreign exchange contract, is recognised as an asset or a liability on the commitment date at which point the fair value of the right and obligation are usually equal and the net fair value of the forward contract on initial recognition is zero. If the net fair value of the right and obligation is not zero, the contract is recognised as an asset or liability. The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are only offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and the liability simultaneously.Allowance for expected credit losses The Group measures loss allowances for financial assets, including trade receivables, at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses (\u201cECL\u201d). This requires consideration of both historical and forward-looking information when considering potential impairment of trade receivables. A provision matrix is used to calculate the expected credit loss, which is based upon historical observed default rates adjusted for forward-looking information to create an adjusted default rate, which is applied to the outstanding invoices at the balance sheet date.Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. Credit-impaired financial assetsAt each reporting date the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred, such as a significant change in the credit risk profile of a customer, a debt has become significantly overdue or a contract default.Write-off of financial assets The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written down to its recoverable amount when the Group has no reasonable expectation of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.Derivative financial instrumentsThe Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange risks arising from operational activities. It principally employs forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions. The fair value of derivative foreign exchange instruments is determined on initial recognition at forward market exchange rates at inception of the contract and subsequently remeasured based on forward market exchange rates at the balance sheet date.",

"value": "LeasingThe Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease, that is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Separating components of a contract Contracts usually combine different kinds of obligation of the supplier, which may be formed by lease components or lease and non-lease components, such as maintenance or services. The Group identifies the lease and non-lease components and accounts for those separately, applying the relevant standard to each one. Consideration is allocated to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease component.Lease term The Group considers the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease plus periods covered by an option to extend or an option to terminate if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option or not exercise the termination option.i) Right of use assets The Group recognises right of use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right of use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, provision for decommissioning the asset at the end of the contract, less any lease incentives received. Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.ii) Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, when applicable.The lease payments also include, when applicable, the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are usually recognised as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is a combination of country-specific government bond yields, used as a proxy for a risk-free rate, calculated over various periods linked to existing lease terms. This rate is adjusted for borrowing costs and risks specific to each entity of the Group.After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, such as a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. Any adjustment of the lease liability is reflected as an adjustment to the right of use asset. If the carrying amount of the right of use asset has already been reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.The Group has adopted the practical expedient under IFRS 16 not to recognise right of use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, with a lease term of 12 months or less, and leases in which the underlying asset is of low value. Lease payments relating to these leases are expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.",

"value": "Share-based paymentsCertain employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as a consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). The Group operates a \u201cLong Term Incentive Plan \u2013 LTIP\u201d and an \u201cApproved and unapproved executive share option scheme \u2013 CSOP\u201d.The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date the grant is made, calculated using an option pricing model, and is recognised as an expense over the three-year vesting period, which ends on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of non-market vesting conditions.For the LTIP, at each reporting date before vesting, the cumulative expense is calculated, representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management\u2019s best estimate of the achievement or otherwise of non-market conditions and hence the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest, also taking into consideration the impact of forfeitures and cancellations during the year.

"value": "Taxation Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Group measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Financial Statements, with the following exceptions:\u2022 where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;\u2022 in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and\u2022 deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, carried forward tax credits or tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related asset is realised or liability is settled, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.Income tax is charged or credited directly to equity or Other Comprehensive Income if it relates to items that are credited or charged to equity or Other Comprehensive Income respectively.

The Group has performed an assessment of its potential exposure to income taxes arising under Pillar Two legislation and the Group\u2019s annual revenue does not meet the legislation\u2019s threshold of \u20ac750m.

"value": "Revenue recognitionThe Group realises revenue from its principal activities through the sale of highly differentiated electronic products in four target markets: renewable energy, transportation, medical and industrial & connectivity. Revenue is recognised in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, excluding value added tax and other sales related taxes. Transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service promised in the contract. If a standalone selling price is not observable, the Group estimates it. The transaction price may include a discount or a variable amount of consideration that relates entirely or to a part of the contract. The Group will review the requirements and specify when the variable amount should be allocated to one or more, but not all, performance obligations in the contract.Control of a good or service is obtained when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the benefits from the good or service. The Group recognises revenue from product sales at a point in time on shipment, on delivery or when goods are accepted by the customer, depending on the Incoterm used for the sale transaction.Product support and maintenance services are recognised over the period of the service delivery as the customer receives the benefit of the service over time; progress is measured by reference to service periods.When another party is involved in providing goods or services to the customer, the Group determines whether the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to provide the specified goods or services itself (principal) or to arrange for those goods or services to be provided by the other party (agent) and recognises revenue accordingly.Contract balancesReceivablesReceivables are billed under the terms of the contract for delivered goods and services that are not conditional on anything other than the passage of time. They are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. These assets are classified as trade receivables.Contract liabilitiesContract liabilities represent the Group\u2019s unsatisfied obligation(s) for the transfer of goods or services to the customer for which consideration has been received from the customer; and/or advance payments received from a customer in consideration of future performance obligations.",

"value": "Material accounting judgements and estimatesThe preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other applicable factors, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and any revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.Information about judgements, assumptions and estimation uncertainties as at 31 March 2024 that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next financial year is addressed regarding: \u2022 Impairment of non-financial assets (Group and Company): Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, in accordancewith IAS 36. The Group is required to ensure that its assets are not impaired and are carried at no more than their recoverable amount, measured based on their fair value less cost to sell or value-in-use. Assets which do not generate independent cash flows are required to be grouped together into CGUs and tested for impairment. In determining the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU, estimates and assumptions must be made in determining the value of those future cash flows. For a CGU this includes assessment of future revenue, operating profit, discount rates and long-term growth rates. Central costs that are necessarily incurred to generate the cash inflows and that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to each CGU are included in the value-in-use calculation. Uncertainty inherent in making judgements and estimates means that there is a risk that the estimated recoverable amount could result in a material adjustment in future accounting periods. Note 18 provides more details.\u2022 Measurement of defined benefit asset/obligation (Group only): The present value of the defined benefit asset/obligation depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net expense and balance sheet position include discount rates, inflation andmortality rates. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of defined benefit asset/obligation. The actuarial assumptions used in determining the carrying amount at 31 March 2024 are set out in note 32. \u2022 Fair value of assets acquired in a business combination (Group only): Estimates are made in the assessment of fairvalue of the consideration and net assets acquired, including the identification and valuation of intangible assets and theiruseful lives. Estimates used include customer attrition rates, discount rate and trading forecast. Note 11 provides details of business combinations. \u2022 Value of investments (Company only): Investments in subsidiaries are reviewed annually for impairment whenindicators for impairment are identified. Determining whether the Company\u2019s investments in subsidiaries have been impaired requires estimations of the investments\u2019 values-in-use or consideration of the net asset value of the entity. The value-in-use calculations require the Directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the investments,using estimates such as for future revenue, operating profit, discount rates and long-term growth rates to calculate present values.\u2022 Cash offsetting (Group and Company): Judgements are made when assessing the intention to net settle outstanding overdraft positions at the balance sheet date in order to meet the disclosure requirements for presenting cash balances net of overdrafts in the consolidated and Company Statement of Financial Position. For the year ended 31 March 2024, the offsetting criteria for balances within the Group\u2019s cash pooling arrangements have not been met, therefore, balances have not been offset. \u2022 Classification of assets as held for sale (Group): Judgements are made when assessing if the carrying amount of certain assets will be recovered principally through the sale rather than through continuing use, as well as if they are available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is highly probable. These assets are presented as assets held for sale in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For the year ended 31 March 2024, the Group has \u00a36.7m of assets related to the disposal of the Santon solar business unit, classified as held for sale. Note 12 provides details.",

The recognition of the deferred tax asset is supported by forecasts of sufficient future taxable profits in the relevant jurisdictions. At 31 March 2024, the Group had not recognised any deferred tax asset in respect of tax losses of approximately \u00a326.1m (2023: \u00a324.2m). Deferred tax assets are not recognised where there is insufficient evidence that losses will be utilised.At 31 March 2024, a \u00a31.3m deferred tax liability (2023: \u00a31.0m) has been recognised for withholding taxes payable on the remittance of certain of the Group\u2019s overseas subsidiaries\u2019 unremitted earnings. The aggregate amount of unremitted earnings on which deferred tax has not been recognised is \u00a319.9m (2023: \u00a323.7m). No deferred tax has been recognised on this amount as the Group is able to control the timing of these distributions and is not expecting to distribute these profits in the foreseeable future.An increase in the UK corporation tax rate to 25% had been substantively enacted at 31 March 2022, with effect from 1 April 2023. A rate of 25% has been applied in the measurement of the Group\u2019s UK-based deferred tax assets and liabilities at 31 March 2024.",

The recognition of the deferred tax asset is supported by forecasts of sufficient future taxable profits in the relevant jurisdictions. At 31 March 2024, the Group had not recognised any deferred tax asset in respect of tax losses of approximately \u00a326.1m (2023: \u00a324.2m). Deferred tax assets are not recognised where there is insufficient evidence that losses will be utilised.At 31 March 2024, a \u00a31.3m deferred tax liability (2023: \u00a31.0m) has been recognised for withholding taxes payable on the remittance of certain of the Group\u2019s overseas subsidiaries\u2019 unremitted earnings. The aggregate amount of unremitted earnings on which deferred tax has not been recognised is \u00a319.9m (2023: \u00a323.7m). No deferred tax has been recognised on this amount as the Group is able to control the timing of these distributions and is not expecting to distribute these profits in the foreseeable future.An increase in the UK corporation tax rate to 25% had been substantively enacted at 31 March 2022, with effect from 1 April 2023. A rate of 25% has been applied in the measurement of the Group\u2019s UK-based deferred tax assets and liabilities at 31 March 2024.",

"value": "12. Assets held for saleIn December 2023, the Group agreed to sell certain assets of its Santon solar business unit (the \u201cdisposal group\u201d) based in the Netherlands. The consideration for the disposal comprises \u00a32.6m plus up to \u00a33.4m in relation to inventory transferred to the buyer. Completion of the sale is subject to the transfer of production lines, inventory and other related assets to the buyer\u2019s location. In conjunction with this disposal, the Group also intends to sell its manufacturing facility in the Netherlands with the retained business moving to a smaller facility. The disposals of both the solar business unit and the manufacturing facility are expected to complete in the financial year ending 31 March 2025 and expected to generate net cash inflow of c.\u00a37m after costs. As the Group expects to recover the carrying value of these assets through a sale transaction within the next financial year, in accordance with IFRS 5 \u2018Assets held for sale and discontinued operations\u2019, the disposal group and the manufacturing facility have been classified as assets held for sale at the balance sheet date for the year ended 31 March 2024. The disposal group is not considered to be a major line of operation and does not represent one of the Group\u2019s cash generating units. Accordingly its results are not presented as a discontinued operation for the years ended 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023.In accordance with IFRS 5, a plan to dispose of an asset is considered to be an impairment indicator. Therefore, the assets of the disposal group and the manufacturing facility have been tested for impairment and measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell at the time of the reclassification. This has resulted in the recognition of a write-down of \u00a32.7m relating to the goodwill and other intangible assets of the disposal group during the year ended 31 March 2024. There was no impact on the carrying value of the manufacturing facility. This is a level 2 measurement as per the fair value hierarchy as set out in note 28.The assets included as held for sale and that are presented within total assets of the Sensing & Connectivity segment (note 5), are the following:2024 \u00a3mDisposal group held for saleNon-current assetsProperty, plant and equipment 2.1Intangible assets \u2013 other 0.2Current assetsInventory 1.94.2Non-current assetsProperty, plant and equipment 2.5Total assets classified as held for sale 6.7",

Current year other receivables includes \u00a36.1m related to the current portion of the deferred consideration receivable for the disposal of the Acal BFi business.All of the Group\u2019s trade and other receivables are regularly reviewed for indicators of impairment. The credit risk exposure inherent in the Group\u2019s trade receivables is measured and recognised as an impairment provision on initial recognition, based on the expected credit loss method, as required by IFRS 9. Specific provision for impairment may also be required where a specific increase in credit risk is identified, or a credit event has occurred. Provisions for general credit risk exposure is measured with reference to the age of a receivable as debts which are overdue present a specific impairment risk indicator regarding recoverability.In total, the Group has recognised impairment provisions of \u00a32.3m (2023: \u00a32.2m), against trade receivables. This includes a total of \u00a31.2m (2023: \u00a31.1m) of specific provisions for impairment due to increased default risk and unresolved disputes, as well as provision for expected credit losses of \u00a31.1m (2023: \u00a31.1m). Across the Group, general expected credit loss risk has been assessed to be low due to the size, nature and diversification of customers across the divisions. The increase during the year is mainly attributable to macro-economic factors such as increase in interest rates, which are incorporated in the assessment of the Group\u2019s expected credit losses performed annually.The movements in the impairment provisions for trade receivables during the year were as follows:20242023\u00a3m\u00a3mAt 1 April 2.2 1.6Charge for the year 0.4 0.6Exchange adjustments (0.3) \u2013At 31 March 2.3 2.2Details of the net trade receivables ageing are set out below:OverdueNot <3030\u201360 60\u201390 90\u2013120 >120Totalyet duedaysdaysdaysdaysdays \u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m2024 69.3 58.6 8.5 1.4 0.6 0.2 \u20132023 62.4 51.9 8.6 0.9 0.5 0.5 \u2013Non-Current20242023\u00a3m\u00a3mOther receivables 0.2 6.0The other receivables amount of \u00a30.2m (2023: \u00a36.0m) relates to deferred consideration receivable in relation to the disposal of Vertec Scientific SA Proprietary Limited.

"value": "Management of credit risk Credit risk exists in relation to customers, banks and insurers. Exposure to credit risk is mitigated by maintaining credit control procedures across a wide customer base.The Group is exposed to credit risk that is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables. This is minimised by dealing with recognised creditworthy third parties who have been through a credit verification process. The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying value of trade and other receivables. As well as credit risk exposures inherent within the Group\u2019s outstanding receivables, the Group is exposed to counterparty credit risk arising from the placing of deposits and entering into derivative financial instrument contracts with banks and financial institutions. The Group manages exposure to this credit risk by entering into financial instrument contracts only with highly credit-rated authorised counterparties which are reviewed and approved annually by the Board. Counterparties\u2019 positions are monitored on a regular basis to ensure that they are within the approved limits and that there are no significant concentrations of credit risks. The Group\u2019s largest customer is approximately 7% (2023: 5%) of Group sales.",

The Group also holds other financial instruments such as trade receivables and trade payables that arise directly from the Group\u2019s trading operations.Derivative financial instruments are represented by short-term foreign currency forward contracts placed by the Group with external banks as part of the Group\u2019s cash management and foreign currency risk management activities. The fair value of derivative foreign exchange instruments is determined on initial recognition at forward market exchange rates at inception of the contract and subsequently remeasured based on forward market exchange rates at the balance sheet date.

All material changes in fair value of financial instruments as at the balance sheet date have been recognised in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss. Impairment reviews did not identify any material impairment of financial assets from carrying values as reported at the balance sheet date and, as such, no material impairments are included in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss.Fair value methods and assumptionsForward foreign exchange contracts (forwards) \u2013 the fair value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined with reference to observable yield curves and foreign exchange rates at the reporting date. The FX contracts outstanding with banks at the year-end had a maturity of one year or less.Loans and borrowings \u2013 the fair value of loans and borrowings has been calculated by discounting future cash flows, where material, at prevailing market interest rates.Fair Value HierarchyFor financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value, as set out in the tables above, the fair value measurement techniques are based upon applying unadjusted, quoted market rates or prices or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liability either directly or indirectly. IFRS 13 \u201cFinancial Instruments: Disclosures\u201d requires financial instruments measured at fair value to be analysed into a fair value hierarchy based upon the valuation technique used to determine fair value. The highest level in this hierarchy is Level 3 within which inputs that are not based on observable market data for the asset or liability are applied. The valuation techniques used by the Group for the measurement of derivative financial instruments, loans and deferred consideration are considered to be within Level 2, which includes inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.Contingent consideration is included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value is determined considering the expected payment, discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The expected payment is determined separately in respect of each individual earn-out agreement taking into consideration the expected level of profitability of each acquisition. The unobservable inputs are the projected forecast measures that are assessed on an annual basis. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration relating to updated projected forecast performance measures are recognised in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss in the period that the change occurs.Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value for contingent consideration payable on acquisitions:20242023\u00a3m\u00a3mAt 1 April 4.1 8.8Contingent consideration arising from current year acquisitions payable in future years 3.0 \u2013Contingent consideration paid in the current year relating to previous years\u2019 acquisitions \u2013 (6.3)Costs charged to the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss: Subsequent adjustments on acquisitions (0.3) 1.3 Exchange difference (0.1) 0.3At 31 March 6.7 4.1Subsequent adjustments on acquisitions of \u00a30.3m credit (2023: \u00a31.3m debit) and exchange differences of \u00a30.1m credit (2023: \u00a30.3m debit) are included within operating costs.Contingent consideration is sensitive to forecast operating profits of the relevant acquired businesses.

The LTIP involves a conditional award of shares on a grant of a nil-cost option. The award of shares to Executive Directors and senior management is recommended by the Remuneration Committee on the basis of such factors as their contribution to the Group\u2019s success. The LTIPs are equity-settled and there are no cash-settled alternatives. The vesting of an award is dependent on the individual\u2019s continued employment for a three-year period from the date of grant and the satisfaction by the Company of certain performance conditions. The exercise of the awards is also subject to a two-year holding period from the date of vesting.For awards made in the year ended 31 March 2024, the performance conditions are as follows:\u2022 45% of the award is based on the Company\u2019s comparative total shareholder return (\u201cTSR\u201d) against a comparator group made up of the constituents of the FTSE250 Index;\u2022 45% of the award is based on the Company\u2019s absolute earnings per share (\u201cEPS\u201d) performance;\u2022 10% of the award is subject to the Company\u2019s ESG performance (\u201cESG\u201d), based on the Company\u2019s reduction in carbon emissions;\u2022 For certain operational management, 25% of the award is based on the Company\u2019s absolute earnings per share (\u201cEPS\u201d) performance and 75% of the award is based on local earnings targets.Awards are valued using the Monte Carlo model and Black-Scholes model.

Exercise of all options is subject to continued employment. The life of each option granted is ten years. There are no cash settlement alternatives.Options are valued using the Black-Scholes model. No non-market performance conditions were included in the fair value calculations. The fair value per option granted during the year and the assumptions used in the calculation are as follows:14 June 21 June Grant date20232022 Share price at grant date \u00a39.38 \u00a36.5Exercise price \u00a39.18 \u00a36.87Number of employees 10 7Shares under option 19,011 15,179Vesting period (years) 3 3Expected volatility 37.51% 40.8%Option life (years) 10 10Expected life (years) 6.5 6.5Risk-free rate of return 4.72% 2.5%Expected dividends expressed as a dividend yield 1.22% 1.7%Fair value \u00a33.82 \u00a32.31The expected volatility is based on historical volatility over the period of time commensurate with the expected term immediately prior to the date of grant. The expected life is the average expected period to exercise.
