2 Material accounting policies
Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted
International Accounting Standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006
as applicable to companies reporting under those standards and the disclosure guidance
and transparency rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom\u2019s Financial Conduct Authority.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the
historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of financial instruments that are
measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the
accounting policies below.
The principal accounting policies adopted and applied in the preparation of these
financial statements consistently in all the years presented are set out below.
Going concern
The Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its bank
facilities. Given the 2027 maturities of the UKEF and RCF facilities in place as at
31 December 2025, the Group has undertaken an exercise to refinance these facilities.
On 30 April 2026, subject to completion of a number of administrative conditions, the
Group completed a full refinancing of the \u20ac300m multi-currency RCF facility and the
\u20ac288m and $230m UKEF term loans, as described in the financial review on p.14. The
refinancing arrangement has introduced a new quarterly leverage covenant threshold
requirement along with minimum liquidity requirements and has extended the maturity
dates of the facilities out to 2029.
The current economic conditions continue to create uncertainty, particularly over
the level of demand for the Group\u2019s products. The Group\u2019s forecasts and projections
take account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance and a severe
but plausible downside scenario has been prepared, linked to our principal risks.
The reasonably possible scenario does not threaten the Group\u2019s ability to operate
within the level of its facilities under the agreed terms of the refinancing under the
minimum 12 month going concern assessment period. Modelling has been updated to
reflect the new covenant thresholds and liquidity requirements. No mitigating actions
have been included for any of the scenarios and, should it need to, the Group could
take action quickly to significantly reduce costs and cash outflows as demonstrated
during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The severe but plausible
downside scenario, offset by mitigation actions as required, does not threaten the
Group\u2019s ability to operate within the level of its current facilities. Should it need to, the
Group could take action quickly to significantly reduce costs and cash outflows as
demonstrated during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Having assessed the principal risks and the other matters discussed in connection
with the Viability Statement (see page 64), the Directors considered it appropriate to
adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing its consolidated financial
statements.
Further information on the Group\u2019s borrowings is given in note 20.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the
Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to
31 December each year. Control is achieved when the Company:
\u2022 \u2022
Has the power over the investee
\u2022 \u2022
Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
\u2022 \u2022
Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins from the date the Company obtains control and
ceases from the date the Company loses control. Where necessary on obtaining
control, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the
accounting policies into line with those used by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group\u2019s
equity therein. Subsequent to the date on which the Company obtains control, the
carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial
recognition plus the non-controlling interests\u2019 share of subsequent changes in equity.
All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating
to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated on consolidation.
Materiality
Various disclosures make reference to items considered material or immaterial to the
financial statements. The Group considers information to be material if omitting it or
misstating it could influence decisions that users make on the basis of the financial
information provided. Materiality is considered from both a quantitative and qualitative
factor perspective. In addition to subsequent specific references to materiality, and in
compliance with IFRS, certain disclosures have not been provided where the
information resulting from that disclosure is not material.
Business combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for in accordance with
IFRS 3. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair
value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of assets
acquired by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to former owners of the
acquiree and the equity interest issued by the Group in exchange for control of
the acquiree. Acquisition related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are
recognised at their fair value, except that:
\u2022 \u2022
Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised and measured in accordance
with IAS 12 Income Taxes
\u2022 \u2022
Liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised
and measured in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits, and
\u2022 \u2022
Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance
with IFRS 5 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
are measured in accordance with that standard.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the
reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional
amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional
amounts are adjusted during a measurement period (see below), or additional assets
or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have
affected the amounts recognised as of that date.
A measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group
obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the
acquisition date and is subject to a maximum of one year.
If a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group\u2019s previously held interest in
the acquired entity is remeasured to its acquisition date fair value and the resulting
gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss.
Goodwill
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred over the Group\u2019s
interest in acquisition-date identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed.
Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the
purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group\u2019s cash
generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash
generating units are defined as our reportable segments: Coatings & Construction
Solutions, Adhesive Solutions and Health & Protection and Performance Materials.
Cash generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment
annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired.
If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than the carrying amount
of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the
basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss for goodwill
is not reversed in a subsequent period.
On disposal of a subsidiary, associate or joint venture, the attributable amount of
goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. Goodwill
arising on acquisitions before the date of transition to IFRS has been retained at the
previous UK GAAP amounts subject to being tested for impairment at that date.
Goodwill written off to reserves under UK GAAP prior to 1998 has not been reinstated
and is not included in determining any subsequent profit or loss on disposal.
Joint ventures
Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the
equity method, interests in joint ventures are initially recognised at cost and adjusted
thereafter to recognise the Group\u2019s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and
movements in other comprehensive income.
Revenue
General
Synthomer manufactures and sells mainly water-based polymers across a diverse
range of end use applications. Our products are predominantly sold in liquid form, in
bulk containers.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be
entitled in a contract with a customer when performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue is recognised at the point in time when control of the product is transferred
from Synthomer to the customer.
The customer is deemed to obtain control of the resultant asset in line with the Incoterms
under which it is sold. The significant majority of Synthomer\u2019s products are sold under
Carriage Paid To (CPT) and Carriage and Insurance Paid (CIP) International Commercial
Terms. Under these terms, control of the product is transferred when the goods reach
their destination. At this point the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred
and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer\u2019s acceptance of the
product. A receivable is recognised at this point in time as consideration is unconditional
and only the passage of time is required before payment is due.
Rebates
Synthomer may grant customers rebates if the goods purchased by the customer
exceed a contractually defined threshold within the specified period. Rebates are
usually deducted from the amounts payable by the customer. Depending on the terms
of the underlying contract, Synthomer uses either the expected value or the most likely
amount to estimate the variable consideration for expected future rebates. Historical,
current and forecast information is considered when calculating rebates.
The majority of rebate programmes are aligned with the Group\u2019s financial year end,
providing certainty around how much should be recognised in the financial statements.
Other
The Group does not have any contracts where the period between the transfer of
promised goods to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a
consequence, the Group applies the practical expedient in IFRS 15 and does not adjust
any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of the individual companies, transactions in
currencies other than the entity\u2019s functional currency are recognised at the rates of
exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date,
monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets
and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are
translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign
currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they
arise except for:
\u2022 \u2022
Exchange differences on transactions entered into to hedge certain foreign
currency risks (see below under Hedge accounting), and
\u2022 \u2022
Exchange differences on monetary items receivable or payable to a foreign
operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the
foreseeable future (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign
operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and
reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group\u2019s non-sterling operations
are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and
expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange
differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in a separate component of equity.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are
treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
The Group elected to treat goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisitions
before the date of transition to IFRS as sterling-denominated assets and liabilities.
Operating profit and loss
Operating profit and loss represents profit and loss from continuing activities before
financing costs and taxation.
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs
from profit before tax as reported in the income statement because it excludes items
of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further
excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group\u2019s liability for current tax
is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
balance sheet date.
A provision is recognised for those matters for which the tax determination is
uncertain but it is considered probable that there will be a future outflow of funds to a
tax authority. The provisions are measured at best estimate of the amount expected to
become payable. The assessment is based on the judgement of tax professionals
within the Company supported by previous experience in respect of such activities and
in certain cases based on specialist independent tax advice.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted
for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally
recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against
which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences
between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations
where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is
probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date
and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will
be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when
the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the
income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to other
comprehensive income, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in other
comprehensive income.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences
that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the
reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable
right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred
income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an
intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
Global Minimum Top-up Tax
The Group has adopted International Tax Reform \u2013 Pillar Two Model Rules
(Amendments to IAS 12) upon their release on 23 May 2023. The amendments provide
a temporary mandatory exception from deferred tax accounting for the top-up tax,
which is effectively immediately, and require new disclosures about the Pillar Two
exposure (see notes 10 and 11).
The mandatory exception applies retrospectively. However, because no new legislation
to implement the top-up tax was enacted or substantively enacted at 31 December
2022 in any jurisdiction in which the Group operates and no related deferred tax was
recognised at that date, the retrospective application has no impact on the Group\u2019s
consolidated financial statements.
Leases
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the
contract. The lease term is determined from the commencement date of the contract
and covers the non-cancellable term. If considered reasonably certain, extension or
termination options are included in the lease term.
At the commencement date, a lease liability is recognised, measured at the present
value of the future lease payments and discounted using the Group\u2019s incremental
borrowing rate. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted by increasing the carrying
amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect
the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any
reassessment or lease modifications.
At the commencement date, a right-of-use asset is recognised, measured at an
amount equal to the lease liability plus any lease payments made before the
commencement date and any initial direct costs, less any lease incentive payments.
An estimate of costs to be incurred in restoring an asset, in accordance with the terms
of the lease, is also included in the right-of-use asset at initial recognition.
Subsequently, right-of-use assets are measured in accordance with the accounting
policy for property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over the shorter period
of lease term and the useful life of the underlying asset. Any adjustments to the
corresponding lease liability are reflected in the corresponding right-of-use asset.
Short-term leases and low value leases are not recognised as lease liabilities and
right-of-use assets, but are recognised as an expense straight-line over the lease term.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
any recognised impairment loss. Cost comprises original purchase price and the costs
attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use,
including, where appropriate, capitalised finance costs.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write-off the cost of assets less their residual
values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method, on the following bases:
Freehold buildings
\u2022 \u2022
50 years
Leasehold land and buildings
\u2022 \u2022
the lesser of 50 years and the
period of the lease
Plant and equipment
\u2022 \u2022
between 3 and 20 years
Assets in the course of construction are carried at cost, less any recognised
impairment loss. Finance costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction
of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Depreciation of
these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at
the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted
for on a prospective basis.
Acquired intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially recognised at their
fair value at the acquisition date, which is regarded as their cost. Where necessary the
fair value of assets at acquisition and their estimated useful lives are based on
independent valuation reports.
Acquired intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and
accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis
over estimated useful lives, on the following bases:
Customer relationships
\u2022 \u2022
between 5 and 20 years
Other intangibles
\u2022 \u2022
up to 20 years
Assets with an indefinite life are not subject to amortisation.
Acquired intangible assets are derecognised upon reaching the end of their
useful lives.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are not acquired through a business combination are
initially measured at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives of up to ten years.
An internally generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the
development phase of an internal project) is recognised only if all of the following
conditions have been demonstrated:
\u2022 \u2022
The technical feasibility of completing the asset
\u2022 \u2022
The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it
\u2022 \u2022
The ability to use or sell the asset once development has been completed
\u2022 \u2022
The probability that the asset created will generate future economic benefits
\u2022 \u2022
The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete
the development
\u2022 \u2022
The asset created can be separately identified and the development cost can be
measured reliably.
The amount initially recognised for internally generated intangible assets is the sum
of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the
recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can
be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in
which it is incurred.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
excluding goodwill
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine
the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash
flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable
amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal 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 which the estimates
of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less
than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is
reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the
income statement.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or
cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount to
the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior
years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the
income statement.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises
direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that
have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents
the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be
incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. Provision is made for obsolete,
slow-moving or defective items where they exist.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes
a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group classifies its financial instruments in the following categories:
\u2022 \u2022
Financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost (AC)
\u2022 \u2022
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
\u2022 \u2022
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVTOCI).
Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value including, where
permitted, any directly attributable transaction costs.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either
amortised cost or fair value, depending on their classification.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost
Financial assets measured at amortised cost include cash and cash equivalents and
trade and other receivables. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash held in bank
accounts with no access restrictions, and bank term deposits repayable on demand or
maturing within three months of inception.
At each reporting date the Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses
on financial assets measured at amortised cost. In establishing the appropriate amount
of loss allowance to be recognised, the Group applies either the general approach or the
simplified approach, depending on the nature of the underlying class of financial assets:
\u2022 \u2022
Under the general approach, the Group recognises a loss allowance for a financial
asset at an amount equal to the 12 month expected credit losses, unless the credit
risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition, in
which case a loss allowance is recognised at an amount equal to the lifetime
expected credit losses
\u2022 \u2022
The simplified approach is applied to the impairment assessment of trade and
other receivables. Under this approach, the Group recognises expected lifetime
losses upon initial recognition.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost include trade and other payables,
lease liabilities and borrowings. Borrowings are measured at amortised cost unless
they form part of a fair value hedge relationship. The difference between the initial
carrying amount of borrowings and the redemption value is recognised in the income
statement over the contractual terms using the effective interest rate method.
Financial assets and liabilities held at fair value
Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value through profit or loss when
they do not meet the criteria to be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through
other comprehensive income.
Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each
reporting period with fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss to the extent
they are not part of a designated hedging relationship (see below).
Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its
exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk, including interest rate swaps,
foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options. Further details of
derivative financial instruments are set out in note 21.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are
entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each
reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the income statement
immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument,
in which event the timing of the recognition in the income statement depends on the
nature of the hedge relationship.
Hedge accounting
To mitigate foreign currency and interest rate risk, the Group designates certain
derivatives as hedging instruments in fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, or hedges
of net investments in foreign operations as appropriate.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship
between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management
objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore,
at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether
the hedging instrument is effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of
the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
On adoption of IFRS 9, the Group elected to continue to apply the hedge accounting
requirements of IAS 39 as permitted by the standard.
Fair value hedges
The Group only applies fair value hedge accounting for foreign currency risk.
The fair value change on qualifying hedging instruments is recognised in the income
statement and is recognised in the same line as the hedged item.
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and
qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve, limited to the cumulative
change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge.
Gains or losses relating to an ineffective portion are recognised immediately in the
income statement.
Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in
equity are reclassified in the income statement in the periods when the hedged item
affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognised hedged item. However, when
the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a
non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are removed from equity and
included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-
financial liability.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship,
the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer
qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss accumulated at that time in equity is
recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss.
When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or
loss in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Hedges of net investment in foreign operations
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash
flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective
portion of the hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income in the foreign
currency translation reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is
recognised immediately in the income statement.
Gains and losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the
hedge accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve are reclassified to profit
or loss on the disposal of the foreign operation.
Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are recognised as an
expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are treated as
payments to defined contribution schemes where the Group\u2019s obligations under the
schemes are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution scheme.
For defined benefit schemes, the cost of providing benefits is calculated using the
projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations carried out at the end of each
reporting period.
Defined benefit costs are split into three categories, namely:
\u2022 \u2022
Service costs, which includes current service cost, past service cost and
gains and losses on curtailments and settlements
\u2022 \u2022
Net interest expense, and
\u2022 \u2022
Remeasurements.
The Group presents service costs within cost of sales and administrative expenses.
Past service cost is recognised when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs.
Net interest expense is recognised within finance costs and is calculated by applying
a discount rate to the net defined benefit liability.
Remeasurement comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on scheme
assets (excluding interest) are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a
charge or credit to the statement of other comprehensive income in the period in
which they occur and are not subsequently reclassified to profit and loss.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required
to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date and are discounted to present value
where the effect is material.
Provisions for restructuring costs are recognised when the Group has a detailed
formal plan for the restructuring that has been communicated to affected parties.
Share-based payments
The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees. These
are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at grant date. The fair value
excludes the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. The fair value determined
at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group\u2019s estimate of equity
instruments that will eventually vest. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its
estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest as a result of the effect
of non-market-based vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original
estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense
reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to equity reserves. The
Group will on occasion, at its own discretion, settle these share-based payments
in cash rather than equity.
For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability is recognised for the goods or
services acquired, measured initially at the fair value of the liability. At each balance
sheet date until the liability is settled, and at the date of settlement, the fair value of the
liability is remeasured, with any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss for
the year.
Alternative performance measures
The Group has consistently used two significant Alternative Performance Measures
(APMs) since its adoption of IFRS in 2005:
\u2022 \u2022
Underlying performance, which excludes Special Items from IFRS profit measures
\u2022 \u2022
EBITDA, which excludes Special Items, amortisation and depreciation from IFRS
operating profit.
The Board\u2019s view is that Underlying performance provides additional clarity for the
Group\u2019s investors and so it is the primary focus of the Group\u2019s narrative reporting. It
is not intended to be a superior measure to IFRS, however, these measures are used
internally to manage the business. Further information and the reconciliation to the
IFRS measures are included in notes 4 and 5.
Critical accounting judgements and estimates
In the application of the Group\u2019s accounting policies, the Directors are required to
make judgements (other than those involving estimations) that have a significant
impact on the amounts recognised and to make estimates and assumptions about
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate
is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and
future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation
uncertainty at the reporting date that may have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year are discussed below. The assumptions for each estimate are set out in the
relevant note referenced below.
\u2022 \u2022
Defined benefit obligation (note 25): Calculation of the Group\u2019s defined benefit
obligation includes a number of assumptions which impact the carrying value of
the obligation.
\u2022 \u2022
Valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and property plant and equipment on
acquisition: In a business combination, intangible and tangible assets are identified
and recognised at fair value. The assumptions involved in valuing these assets
require the use of estimates that may differ from the actual outcome. These
estimates cover future growth rates, expected inflation rates and the discount rate
used. Changing the assumptions selected by management could significantly
affect the allocation of the purchase price paid between goodwill and other
acquired intangibles.
\u2022 \u2022
Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets: as part of impairment testing, the
Group is required to estimate the recoverable amount of cash generating units by
estimating future cash flows. The assumptions involved in estimating the
recoverable amount include future growth rates and the discount rates used.
Changing the assumptions selected by management could significantly affect the
amount of any impairment.
\u2022 \u2022
Current tax liability and deferred tax (notes 10 and 11): The Group annually incurs
significant amounts of income taxes payable to various jurisdictions around the
world and it also recognises significant changes in deferred tax assets and
deferred tax liabilities, all of which are based on management\u2019s interpretations of
applicable laws, regulations and relevant court decisions.
Critical judgements in applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies
During the year the Group maintained agreements under which amounts receivable
from customers can be sold to a third-party on a non-recourse basis. These
receivables are derecognised at the point of sale which is shortly after the initial
recognition of the receivable balance. This derecognition generated a net cash inflow
of \u00a377.2m for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: \u00a323.2m outflow) and a net
reduction in receivables of \u00a3170.1m as at 31 December 2025 (2024: \u00a387.3m).
In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group has determined that substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownerships of these receivables have been transferred to the third
parties under the facilities, resulting in derecognition of the customer receivables.
IFRS 7 provides further guidance on disclosure requirements where there is continued
involvement in the derecognised financial assets. The Group has determined that an
asset should be recognised in respect of deferred purchase price reserve, which
represents a portion of the original receivable. This reserve is subsequently paid by the
counterparties to the agreements, whether the customer pays the receivable in full or
not. Further disclosures in relation to this receivable can be found in note 21.
There are no other critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (which
are discussed above), that the Directors have made in the process of applying the
Group\u2019s accounting policies.

On 30 April 2026, subject to completion of a number of administrative conditions, the Group completed a full refinancing of the \u20ac300m multi-currency RCF facility and the \u20ac288m and $230m UKEF term loans, as described in the financial review on p.14. The refinancing arrangement has introduced a new quarterly leverage covenant threshold requirement along with minimum liquidity requirements and has extended the maturity dates of the facilities out to 2029.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. Global Minimum Top-up Tax The Group has adopted International Tax Reform \u2013 Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12) upon their release on 23 May 2023. The amendments provide a temporary mandatory exception from deferred tax accounting for the top-up tax, which is effectively immediately, and require new disclosures about the Pillar Two exposure (see notes 10 and 11). The mandatory exception applies retrospectively. However, because no new legislation to implement the top-up tax was enacted or substantively enacted at 31 December 2022 in any jurisdiction in which the Group operates and no related deferred tax was recognised at that date, the retrospective application has no impact on the Group\u2019s consolidated financial statements.

Further details of derivative financial instruments are set out in note 21.

Hedge accounting To mitigate foreign currency and interest rate risk, the Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, or hedges of net investments in foreign operations as appropriate. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. On adoption of IFRS 9, the Group elected to continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39 as permitted by the standard. Fair value hedges The Group only applies fair value hedge accounting for foreign currency risk. The fair value change on qualifying hedging instruments is recognised in the income statement and is recognised in the same line as the hedged item. Cash flow hedges The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge. Gains or losses relating to an ineffective portion are recognised immediately in the income statement. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified in the income statement in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognised hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are removed from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non- financial liability. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss accumulated at that time in equity is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Hedges of net investment in foreign operations Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. The assumptions for each estimate are set out in the relevant note referenced below. \u2022 \u2022 Defined benefit obligation (note 25): Calculation of the Group\u2019s defined benefit obligation includes a number of assumptions which impact the carrying value of the obligation. \u2022 \u2022 Valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and property plant and equipment on acquisition: In a business combination, intangible and tangible assets are identified and recognised at fair value. The assumptions involved in valuing these assets require the use of estimates that may differ from the actual outcome. These estimates cover future growth rates, expected inflation rates and the discount rate used. Changing the assumptions selected by management could significantly affect the allocation of the purchase price paid between goodwill and other acquired intangibles. \u2022 \u2022 Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets: as part of impairment testing, the Group is required to estimate the recoverable amount of cash generating units by estimating future cash flows. The assumptions involved in estimating the recoverable amount include future growth rates and the discount rates used. Changing the assumptions selected by management could significantly affect the amount of any impairment. \u2022 \u2022 Current tax liability and deferred tax (notes 10 and 11): The Group annually incurs significant amounts of income taxes payable to various jurisdictions around the world and it also recognises significant changes in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, all of which are based on management\u2019s interpretations of applicable laws, regulations and relevant court decisions. Critical judgements in applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies During the year the Group maintained agreements under which amounts receivable from customers can be sold to a third-party on a non-recourse basis. These receivables are derecognised at the point of sale which is shortly after the initial recognition of the receivable balance. This derecognition generated a net cash inflow of \u00a377.2m for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: \u00a323.2m outflow) and a net reduction in receivables of \u00a3170.1m as at 31 December 2025 (2024: \u00a387.3m). In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group has determined that substantially all the risks and rewards of ownerships of these receivables have been transferred to the third parties under the facilities, resulting in derecognition of the customer receivables. IFRS 7 provides further guidance on disclosure requirements where there is continued involvement in the derecognised financial assets. The Group has determined that an asset should be recognised in respect of deferred purchase price reserve, which represents a portion of the original receivable. This reserve is subsequently paid by the counterparties to the agreements, whether the customer pays the receivable in full or not. Further disclosures in relation to this receivable can be found in note 21.

4 Special Items
IFRS and Underlying performance
The IFRS profit measures show the performance of the Group as a whole and as such
include all sources of income and expense, including both one-off items and those
that do not relate to the Group\u2019s ongoing businesses. To provide additional clarity on
the ongoing trading performance of the Group\u2019s businesses, management uses
\u2018Underlying\u2019 performance as an Alternative Performance Measure to plan for, control
and assess the performance of the segments. Underlying performance differs from
the IFRS measures as it excludes Special Items.
Special Items
Special Items are disclosed separately in order to provide a clearer indication of the
Group\u2019s Underlying performance.
Special Items are either irregular, and therefore including them in the assessment
of a segment\u2019s performance would lead to a distortion of trends, or are technical
adjustments which ensure the Group\u2019s financial statements are in compliance with
IFRS but do not reflect the operating performance of a segment in the year, or both.
An example of the latter is the amortisation of acquired intangibles, which principally
relates to acquired customer relationships. The Group incurs costs, which are
recognised as an expense in the income statement, in maintaining these customer
relationships. The Group considers that the exclusion of the amortisation charge
on acquired intangibles from Underlying performance avoids the potential double
counting of such costs and therefore excludes it as a Special Item from Underlying
performance.
The following are consistently disclosed separately as Special Items in order to provide
a clearer indication of the Group\u2019s Underlying performance:
\u2022 \u2022
Restructuring and site closure costs
\u2022 \u2022

Amortisation of acquired intangibles is the amortisation on the customer lists, patents,
trademarks and trade secrets arising on past acquisitions. The fair value of the
intangible assets arising on past acquisitions are being amortised over periods of 8-20
years mainly dependent on the characteristics of the customer relationships.
Within continuing operations, Restructuring and site closure costs in 2025 principally
comprised:
\u2022 \u2022
A \u00a31.2m charge in relation to the ongoing integration of the acquired Adhesive
Resins business into the Adhesive Solutions division
\u2022 \u2022
\u00a30.8m of costs in relation to the closure of the Ningbo antioxidants plant;
\u2022 \u2022
\u00a36.7m of costs in relation to global rationalisation and restructuring activities
\u2022 \u2022
\u00a33.5m in relation to a procurement excellence transformation project; and
\u2022 \u2022
\u00a31.1m loss incurred in relation to an onerous contract following the earlier
divestment of the European tyre cord business
Restructuring and site closure costs in 2024 included charges to integrate the
Adhesive Resins business, site rationalisation costs in the USA, Malaysia and Europe,
and costs in relation to operational site reviews to align with our strategic initiatives.
Impairment includes an impairment charge of \u00a328.5m in relation to non-current
assets in our Acrylate Monomers business, offset by an impairment reversal of \u00a36.0m
relating to the reversal of a previous impairment of fixed assets at our Kluang plant.
Acquisition costs and related gains are for the acquisition of Eastman\u2019s Adhesive
Resins business and comprise items related to obligations to the US pension
schemes. Acquisition costs in 2024 also related to the acquisition of Eastman\u2019s
Adhesive Resins business.
Sale of business costs in discontinued operations relate to the loss on disposal of
\u00a38.9m realised with the sale of the William Blythe business to Hamsard 3806 Bidco
Limited. Sale of business costs in continuing operations relates to costs incurred in
relation to future divestments.
Sale of business costs in the prior year in discontinued operations related to the
disposal proceeds net of costs incurred following the sale of the compounds business
to Matco Latex Services BV.
Other costs include a \u00a33.2m charge in relation to a one-off non-cash past service cost
arising from a correction to the calculation of late retirement benefits in the US defined
benefit pension scheme.
Software as a service implementation costs of \u00a31.1m primarily represents the cost of
setting up a new customer relationship management tool.
Taxation Special Items in 2024 related to the release of a Malaysian tax provision
relating to uncertain tax treatments which was concluded in the year.

forward interest. These have been derecognised due to there being insufficient
evidence that the assets will reverse in the short to medium term.

The Group\u2019s effective tax rate is affected by the tax impact of Special Items. It is therefore helpful to consider the Underlying and Special Items affecting tax rates separately:
The effective tax rate on continuing underlying profit before tax for the year is -144.1% (2024: 30.4%) due to the geographical mix of profits and this year is largely driven by the partial
derecognition of the UK, German and US deferred tax assets due to there being insufficient evidence that the assets will reverse in the short to medium term.
The effective tax rate for Special Items was 1.8% (2024: 19%), this mainly relates to deferred tax arising on the amortisation of acquired intangibles. In 2024 this was largely driven by
the current tax credit in relation to the successful resolution of the litigation in Malaysia regarding the tax treatment on the sale of plantation land.
Global Minimum Top-up Tax
The Group is subject to Global Minimum Top-up Tax under Pillar Two legislation. The Group has performed an assessment of the Group\u2019s potential exposure to Pillar Two top-up tax
and based on such assessment performed, transitional safe harbour relief should apply to all the jurisdictions where the Group operates and therefore, the Group does not expect a
potential exposure to the Pillar Two top-up tax. The management is not currently aware of any circumstances under which this might change.
The Group has applied a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for the impacts of the top-up tax.
11 Deferred taxation

The Group has concluded that the deferred tax assets recognised on balance sheet will be fully recoverable against the unwind of taxable temporary differences and future taxable
profits based on the long-term strategic plans of the Group. Where applicable the financial projections used in assessing future taxable income are consistent with those used
elsewhere across the business, for example in the assessment of going concern.

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates to their fair value. Before accepting a new customer, the Group uses appropriate procedures to assess the potential customer\u2019s credit quality in order to set a credit limit. The Group applies a simplified approach to measure the loss allowance for trade receivables classified at amortised cost, using the lifetime expected loss provision. The expected credit loss on trade receivables is estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience and credit rating, adjusted as appropriate for current observable data. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of customers. The following table details the risk profile of trade receivables based on the Group\u2019s provision matrix.

The Group tests goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are
indications that goodwill might be impaired.
The recoverable amounts for CGUs are determined from value in use calculations. The
key assumptions for the value in use calculations are the discount rate, profitability
and growth rate. These assumptions have been updated in the year in light of the
current economic environment.
Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the Group. The
discount rate is based on the Group\u2019s weighted average cost of capital adjusted where
appropriate for the risk premium attributable to a particular CGU\u2019s activities. A pre-tax
discount rate of 11.8% has been used in the above calculations for each CGU
(2024: 11.9%).
The Group prepares cash flow forecasts for each CGU, derived from the most recent
five-year business plans approved by the Board. The final year cash flow is then
assumed to apply into perpetuity with estimated annual growth rates of 1.91%, 1.99%
and 2.41% for Coatings & Construction Solutions, Adhesive Solutions and Health &
Protection and Performance Materials respectively (2024: 1.96%, 2.05% and 2.38%
respectively). These rates do not exceed average long-term growth rates for
relevant markets.
For each CGU, a sensitivity analysis has been undertaken on the impairment tests,
with scenarios covering increased cost of capital, the impact of potential carbon taxes,
reduced EBITDA margins and reduction in customer demand. For each CGU, the
Directors believe that there is no reasonably possible change in the key assumptions
on which the recoverable amount is based that would cause the aggregate carrying
amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the CGU.
For each CGU, the primary sensitivities considered were the discount rate, perpetuity
growth rate and short term EBITDA growth rate. For Coatings & Construction
Solutions, Adhesive Solutions and Health & Protection and Performance Materials, an
increase of 0.5% in discount rate would yield a decrease in recoverable amount of
\u00a351m, \u00a332m and \u00a325m respectively (2024: \u00a361m, \u00a335m and \u00a323m). A 0.25% decrease
in perpetuity growth rate would yield a decrease in recoverable amount of \u00a319m, \u00a312m
and \u00a310m respectively (2024: \u00a320m, \u00a312m and \u00a38m). Reducing EBITDA by 10% as a
result of sensitising short term growth rates would yield decreases in recoverable
amounts of \u00a3128m, \u00a392m and \u00a370m respectively.

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables
approximates to their fair value.
Before accepting a new customer, the Group uses appropriate procedures to assess
the potential customer\u2019s credit quality in order to set a credit limit.
The Group applies a simplified approach to measure the loss allowance for trade receivables classified at amortised cost, using the lifetime expected loss provision. The expected credit loss on trade receivables is estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience and credit rating, adjusted as appropriate for current observable data. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of customers. The following table details the risk profile of trade receivables based on the Group\u2019s provision matrix.

The fair value of the Group\u2019s borrowings at 31 December 2025 was \u00a3774.4m (31 December 2024: \u00a3835.6m).
As at 31 December 2025 a \u00a31.8m liability (2024: \u00a31.0m asset) of the interest rate swap derivative was designated as being in a hedging relationship.
Financial risk management
The Group\u2019s policies, approved by the Board, provide written principles on financial risk management and the use of financial derivatives.
These risks include market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group has a policy of hedging significant foreign exchange transactional exposure at operating company level. The Group regularly reviews its net assets and borrowing currency
exposures, borrowing in overseas currencies in order to hedge the net assets held in those currencies as appropriate. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments,
including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
Currency risk
The Group presents its consolidated financial statements in sterling and conducts business in many currencies. As a result, it is subject to foreign currency risk due to exchange rate
movements, which will affect the Group\u2019s transactions and the translation of the results and underlying net assets of its operations.
To manage the currency risk the Group uses foreign currency borrowings, forward contracts and currency swaps to hedge overseas net assets, which are predominantly denominated
in euros, US dollars and Malaysian ringgits. Profit translation exposures are not hedged.
The Group hedges currency transaction exposures at the point of confirmed order, using forward foreign exchange contracts. The Group\u2019s policy is, where practicable, to hedge all
exposures on monetary assets and liabilities. Consequently, there are no material currency exposures to disclose (2024: none).
Interest rate risk
The Group has an exposure to interest rate risk, arising principally on changes in US dollar and euro interest rates. To manage interest rate risk, the Group manages its proportion
of fixed to floating rate borrowings, and uses interest rate swaps. These practices aim to minimise the Group\u2019s net finance charges with acceptable year-on-year volatility.
At 31 December 2025, the Group had in place swap arrangements to fix interest rates on \u20ac45m and $125m of borrowings.
The Group\u2019s interest rate derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges with fair value movement on the hedged portion recognised in equity. Interest paid on these derivatives
is recognised in the income statement, within Underlying interest costs. Fair value movement in the unhedged portion is also recognised in profit and loss, as a Special Item.
After taking account of interest rate swaps, the Group\u2019s currency and interest rate exposure as at 31 December 2025 was:

Market risk sensitivity analysis
The Group\u2019s main exposure to market risk is in the form of interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Group uses a sensitivity analysis that estimates the impacts on the
consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income of either an instantaneous increase or decrease of 1.0% in market interest rates or a 10% strengthening or
weakening in sterling against all other currencies, from the rates applicable at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 with all other variables remaining constant. The sensitivity
analysis excludes the impact of market risks on the net post-employment benefit liabilities and assets, and corporate tax payable. This analysis is for illustrative purposes only, as
interest and foreign exchange rates rarely change in isolation.
There has been no change to the Group\u2019s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured.

The interest rate sensitivity analysis has been determined based on the exposure to
interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet
date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming that the amount of
liability outstanding at the balance sheet date was outstanding for the whole year.
For interest rate derivatives the mark-to-market adjustment, and amount recognised in
equity as part of a hedging arrangement, is estimated using the interest rate sensitivity
against the nominal amount.
The foreign currency sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency
denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10%
change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as
well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the
loan is in a currency other than the functional currency of the lender or borrower.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual
obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises on cash balances,
derivative financial instruments and credit exposures to customers.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Group\u2019s exposure to credit risk
at the balance sheet date as disclosed at the start of this note. A financial asset is in
default when the counterparty fails to pay its contractual obligations. Financial assets
are written-off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Credit risk is
managed separately for financial and business-related credit exposures.
Financial credit risk
Synthomer aims to minimise its financial credit risk through the application of risk
management policies approved and monitored by the Board. Counterparties are
predominantly limited to major banks and financial institutions with a credit rating
of investment grade and the policy restricts the exposure to any one counterparty
by setting credit limits. The Group\u2019s policy is designed to ensure that individual
counterparty limits are adhered to and that there are no significant concentrations of
credit risk. The Board also defines the types of financial instruments which may be
transacted. Synthomer annually reviews the credit limits applied and regularly
monitors the counterparties\u2019 credit quality, reflecting market credit conditions.
Business-related credit risk
Trade and other receivables exposures are managed locally in the operating units
where they arise and active risk management is applied, focusing on country risk,
credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and monitoring procedures. There is no
significant concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables as the Group has a
large number of customers which are internationally dispersed. See note 19 for
information on credit risk with respect to trade and other receivables.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that Synthomer is unable to meet its payment obligations when
due, or that it is unable, on an ongoing basis, to borrow funds at an acceptable price to
fund actual or proposed commitments. The Group manages liquidity risk by
maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity
profiles of assets and liabilities.
The following tables provide an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted contractual cash flows including interest payable for the Group\u2019s financial liabilities and derivative instruments.
The liquidity analysis for lease liabilities is included in note 22. Where interest payments are calculated at a floating rate, rates of each cash flow until maturity of the instruments are
calculated based on the forward yield curve prevailing at the respective year ends. Derivative contracts are presented on a net basis.

The financial covenant at 31 December 2025 for the RCF is that net debt must be less than 5.25 times EBITDA. At 31 December 2025 the actual covenant for the net debt was
4.7 times EBITDA.
Any non-compliance with covenants underlying Synthomer\u2019s financing arrangements could, if not waived, constitute an event of default with respect to any such arrangements, and
any non-compliance with covenants may, in particular circumstances, lead to an acceleration of maturity on certain borrowings and the inability to access committed facilities.
Synthomer was in full compliance with its financial covenants in respect of its borrowings throughout each of the years presented.
At the year end, Synthomer had available undrawn committed bank facilities as follows:

Fair value measurement
Certain of the Group\u2019s financial instruments are held at fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date.
As prescribed by IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, fair values are measured using a hierarchy where the inputs are as follows:
\u2022 \u2022
Level 1 \u2013 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
\u2022 \u2022
Level 2 \u2013 not Level 1 but are observable for that asset or liability either directly or indirectly
\u2022 \u2022
Level 3 \u2013 not based on observable market data.
Interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards and swaps are valued using discounted cash flow techniques. These techniques incorporate inputs such as foreign exchange rates
and interest rates, which are used in a discounted cash flow calculation incorporating the instrument\u2019s term, notional amount and discount rate, and taking credit risk into account.
As significant inputs to the valuation are observable in active markets, all of the Group\u2019s financial instruments are classified as Level 2 financial instruments.
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and currency swaps is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows using forward exchange
rates, interest rates and prices at the balance sheet date.
There were no transfers of any financial instrument between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the current or prior year.
Hedge relationships
The Group targets a one-to-one hedge ratio. Strengths of the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument are
analysed on an ongoing basis. Ineffectiveness can arise from subsequent change in the forecast transactions as a result of timing, cash flows or value
except when the critical terms of the hedging instrument and hedged item are closely aligned. The change in the credit risk of the hedging instruments
or the hedged items is not expected to be the primary factor in the economic relationship.
The notional amounts, contractual maturities and rates of the hedging instruments designated in hedging relationships as of 31 December 2025 by the
main risk categories are as follows:

Where hedge accounting is applied, hedges are documented and tested for effectiveness on an ongoing basis.
The ratio for hedging instruments designated in both net investment and cash flow hedge relationships was 1:1. Ineffectiveness could occur on either
hedging relationship due to significant changes in counterparty credit risk or a reduction in the notional amount of the hedged item during the
designated hedging period.
Cash flow hedges
The Group designated as a cash flow hedge the interest rate swaps used to manage interest rate risk on its Euro borrowings.
In 2025 a loss of \u00a32.2m (2024: \u00a33.3m) was recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve in respect of these derivatives. At 31 December 2025 the cash
flow hedge reserve includes a cumulative loss of \u00a313.5m (2024: \u00a311.3 m), all of which relates to continuing cash flow hedges. The cash flows are
expected to occur between 2026 and 2027.
In the current year, the Group\u2019s euro borrowings exceeded the total of the interest rate derivative contracts and as such there is no unhedged portion
recognised as a finance cost within Special Items.
Receivables financing
During the year the Group continued to sell amounts receivable from customers to a
third-party on a non-recourse basis. As a result, \u00a3155.6m of trade receivables were
sold and derecognised as at 31 December 2025. An additional liability of \u00a314.5m has
been recognised, which represents the net of the value of invoices settled by the
customer not yet repaid by the group to the factoring counterparty less deferred
purchase price reserves, which represent a portion of the original receivables.
This balance has been recorded within Other payables in note 23.
These reserves are subsequently paid by the counterparties to the agreements,
whether the customer pays the receivable in full or not. The fair value of these assets
is considered to be the same as the carrying value.
Capital management
The Board is committed to enhancing shareholder value in the long term, both by
investing in the business so as to deliver continued improvement in the return from
those investments and by managing the capital structure.
Synthomer manages its capital structure to achieve capital efficiency and to provide
flexibility to invest through the economic cycle and give efficient access to debt
markets at attractive cost levels. This is achieved by targeting a net debt to EBITDA
ratio between 1.0 and 2.0. In order to finance acquisitions, the Group may increase the
ratio with a view to deleveraging within 12-24 months.
As at 31 December 2025 the net debt to EBITDA ratio was 4.7 times (2024: 4.6 times).
In 2022 the Board announced the suspension of dividends. The Board has confirmed
that dividends will remain suspended until the Group\u2019s net debt is less than 2.5x
its EBITDA.

These risks include market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group has a policy of hedging significant foreign exchange transactional exposure at operating company level. The Group regularly reviews its net assets and borrowing currency exposures, borrowing in overseas currencies in order to hedge the net assets held in those currencies as appropriate. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. Currency risk The Group presents its consolidated financial statements in sterling and conducts business in many currencies. As a result, it is subject to foreign currency risk due to exchange rate movements, which will affect the Group\u2019s transactions and the translation of the results and underlying net assets of its operations. To manage the currency risk the Group uses foreign currency borrowings, forward contracts and currency swaps to hedge overseas net assets, which are predominantly denominated in euros, US dollars and Malaysian ringgits. Profit translation exposures are not hedged. The Group hedges currency transaction exposures at the point of confirmed order, using forward foreign exchange contracts. The Group\u2019s policy is, where practicable, to hedge all exposures on monetary assets and liabilities. Consequently, there are no material currency exposures to disclose (2024: none). Interest rate risk The Group has an exposure to interest rate risk, arising principally on changes in US dollar and euro interest rates. To manage interest rate risk, the Group manages its proportion of fixed to floating rate borrowings, and uses interest rate swaps. These practices aim to minimise the Group\u2019s net finance charges with acceptable year-on-year volatility. At 31 December 2025, the Group had in place swap arrangements to fix interest rates on \u20ac45m and $125m of borrowings. The Group\u2019s interest rate derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges with fair value movement on the hedged portion recognised in equity. Interest paid on these derivatives is recognised in the income statement, within Underlying interest costs. Fair value movement in the unhedged portion is also recognised in profit and loss, as a Special Item. After taking account of interest rate swaps, the Group\u2019s currency and interest rate exposure as at 31 December 2025 was:

Market risk sensitivity analysis The Group\u2019s main exposure to market risk is in the form of interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Group uses a sensitivity analysis that estimates the impacts on the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income of either an instantaneous increase or decrease of 1.0% in market interest rates or a 10% strengthening or weakening in sterling against all other currencies, from the rates applicable at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 with all other variables remaining constant. The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of market risks on the net post-employment benefit liabilities and assets, and corporate tax payable. This analysis is for illustrative purposes only, as interest and foreign exchange rates rarely change in isolation. There has been no change to the Group\u2019s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured.

The interest rate sensitivity analysis has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming that the amount of liability outstanding at the balance sheet date was outstanding for the whole year. For interest rate derivatives the mark-to-market adjustment, and amount recognised in equity as part of a hedging arrangement, is estimated using the interest rate sensitivity against the nominal amount. The foreign currency sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the functional currency of the lender or borrower. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises on cash balances, derivative financial instruments and credit exposures to customers. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Group\u2019s exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date as disclosed at the start of this note. A financial asset is in default when the counterparty fails to pay its contractual obligations. Financial assets are written-off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Credit risk is managed separately for financial and business-related credit exposures. Financial credit risk Synthomer aims to minimise its financial credit risk through the application of risk management policies approved and monitored by the Board. Counterparties are predominantly limited to major banks and financial institutions with a credit rating of investment grade and the policy restricts the exposure to any one counterparty by setting credit limits. The Group\u2019s policy is designed to ensure that individual counterparty limits are adhered to and that there are no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Board also defines the types of financial instruments which may be transacted. Synthomer annually reviews the credit limits applied and regularly monitors the counterparties\u2019 credit quality, reflecting market credit conditions. Business-related credit risk Trade and other receivables exposures are managed locally in the operating units where they arise and active risk management is applied, focusing on country risk, credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and monitoring procedures. There is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables as the Group has a large number of customers which are internationally dispersed. See note 19 for information on credit risk with respect to trade and other receivables. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that Synthomer is unable to meet its payment obligations when due, or that it is unable, on an ongoing basis, to borrow funds at an acceptable price to fund actual or proposed commitments. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of assets and liabilities. The following tables provide an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted contractual cash flows including interest payable for the Group\u2019s financial liabilities and derivative instruments. The liquidity analysis for lease liabilities is included in note 22. Where interest payments are calculated at a floating rate, rates of each cash flow until maturity of the instruments are calculated based on the forward yield curve prevailing at the respective year ends. Derivative contracts are presented on a net basis.

The financial covenant at 31 December 2025 for the RCF is that net debt must be less than 5.25 times EBITDA. At 31 December 2025 the actual covenant for the net debt was 4.7 times EBITDA. Any non-compliance with covenants underlying Synthomer\u2019s financing arrangements could, if not waived, constitute an event of default with respect to any such arrangements, and any non-compliance with covenants may, in particular circumstances, lead to an acceleration of maturity on certain borrowings and the inability to access committed facilities. Synthomer was in full compliance with its financial covenants in respect of its borrowings throughout each of the years presented. At the year end, Synthomer had available undrawn committed bank facilities as follows:

The foreign currency sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the functional currency of the lender or borrower.

Credit risk arises on cash balances, derivative financial instruments and credit exposures to customers. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Group\u2019s exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date as disclosed at the start of this note. A financial asset is in default when the counterparty fails to pay its contractual obligations. Financial assets are written-off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Credit risk is managed separately for financial and business-related credit exposures. Financial credit risk Synthomer aims to minimise its financial credit risk through the application of risk management policies approved and monitored by the Board. Counterparties are predominantly limited to major banks and financial institutions with a credit rating of investment grade and the policy restricts the exposure to any one counterparty by setting credit limits. The Group\u2019s policy is designed to ensure that individual counterparty limits are adhered to and that there are no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Board also defines the types of financial instruments which may be transacted. Synthomer annually reviews the credit limits applied and regularly monitors the counterparties\u2019 credit quality, reflecting market credit conditions. Business-related credit risk Trade and other receivables exposures are managed locally in the operating units where they arise and active risk management is applied, focusing on country risk, credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and monitoring procedures. There is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables as the Group has a large number of customers which are internationally dispersed. See note 19 for information on credit risk with respect to trade and other receivables.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of assets and liabilities. The following tables provide an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted contractual cash flows including interest payable for the Group\u2019s financial liabilities and derivative instruments. The liquidity analysis for lease liabilities is included in note 22. Where interest payments are calculated at a floating rate, rates of each cash flow until maturity of the instruments are calculated based on the forward yield curve prevailing at the respective year ends. Derivative contracts are presented on a net basis.

The financial covenant at 31 December 2025 for the RCF is that net debt must be less than 5.25 times EBITDA. At 31 December 2025 the actual covenant for the net debt was 4.7 times EBITDA. Any non-compliance with covenants underlying Synthomer\u2019s financing arrangements could, if not waived, constitute an event of default with respect to any such arrangements, and any non-compliance with covenants may, in particular circumstances, lead to an acceleration of maturity on certain borrowings and the inability to access committed facilities. Synthomer was in full compliance with its financial covenants in respect of its borrowings throughout each of the years presented. At the year end, Synthomer had available undrawn committed bank facilities as follows:

The risk relating to benefits to be paid to the dependants of scheme members (widow and orphan benefits) is reinsured with an external insurance company. Multi-employer schemes The Group participates in several tariffs of the Pensionskasse Degussa in Germany, which is a multi-employer pension scheme. Regular contributions are payable to the scheme by each participating employer for new benefits accruing. The assets of all participating employers are pooled, and contributions are calculated based on aggregated demographic experience. Therefore sufficient information is not available to identify the Group\u2019s share of the assets on a consistent and reliable basis and the Group accounts for the scheme on a defined contribution basis. The Group expects to make a regular contribution of \u00a31.8m to the scheme in 2026. To the extent that there is underfunding in the scheme, deficit contributions are payable based on an actuarial assessment of each participating employer\u2019s share of the future benefit accrual. At 31 December 2025 there is no indication of any commitment for additional deficit contributions in excess of regular contributions. Defined benefit schemes UK The Group\u2019s UK defined benefit scheme is administered by a fund that is legally separate from the Group. The trustees of the pension fund are required by law to act in the interest of the fund and of all relevant stakeholders in the scheme. The trustees of the pension scheme are responsible for the investment policy with regard to the assets of the fund. The scheme was closed to future accrual in 2009 and all retirement benefits since that time are provided by way of a defined contribution scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the companies concerned. A triennial actuarial valuation of the scheme was undertaken in 2024 and was published in 2025. USA The Group\u2019s US defined benefit scheme was acquired as part of the OMNOVA acquisition and is administered by a fund which is legally separate from OMNOVA Solutions Inc. The fiduciary committee is required by law to act in the interest of the fund and is responsible for the investment policy with regard to the assets of the fund. The scheme was closed to future accrual in 2011 and all retirement benefits since that time are provided by way of a defined contribution scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the companies concerned and a formal valuation is undertaken on an annual basis. Germany The Group operates a number of defined benefit schemes in Germany. These schemes are closed to new members. In line with common practice, these schemes are unfunded and liabilities are settled on a cash basis as they fall due. At each balance sheet date, obligations are calculated by external actuaries. Other The Group operates a number of smaller overseas pension and retirement benefit schemes. For the funded schemes, assets are held separately from those of the Group. The aggregated pension disclosures for the other defined benefit schemes have been compiled from a number of actuarial valuations at 31 December 2025.
Retirement benefit obligations
Defined benefit schemes expose the Group to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Asset return risk The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to corporate bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will
increase the deficit.
Interest rate risk A decrease in corporate bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plan assets
in bond holdings.
Longevity risk The majority of the plans\u2019 obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in life expectancy will result in an increase in
the plans\u2019 liabilities.

The Group remains committed to funding the UK and US defined benefit schemes. The Company remains committed to paying contributions into the UK scheme for the foreseeable future. The defined benefit obligation of the US scheme increased to \u00a313.5m at 31 December 2025, mainly due to a one-off adjustment on the calculation of late retirement benefits. The Group is expecting to contribute \u00a31.7m in 2026. The Group\u2019s other defined benefit schemes are largely unfunded, with minimal plan assets. Liabilities from these schemes are settled on a cash basis as they fall due.

Assumptions regarding future mortality are based on actuarial advice in accordance with published statistics. Mortality assumptions are based on country-specific mortality tables
and, where appropriate, include an allowance for future improvements in life expectancy. In addition, where credible data exists, actual plan experience is taken into account. The
Group\u2019s most substantial pension liabilities are in the UK, the US and Germany where, using the mortality tables adopted, the expected lifetime of average members currently at age 65
and average members at age 65 in 20 years\u2019 time is as follows:

The weighted average duration of the benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period is 10.0 years for the UK scheme (2024: 10.0 years), 8.2 years for the US scheme (2024: 6.5 years)
and 12.3 years for the German schemes (2024: 13.3 years).
Sensitivity analysis
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based
on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, assuming that all other assumptions are held constant:
Increase in scheme liabilities
UK US Germany
\u00a3m \u00a3m \u00a3m
Discount rate (decrease of 1%)
27.0
12 .1
7.1
Future mortality rate (one year increase in expectancy)
11.0
4.4
2 .1
The above sensitivities are based on a change of assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the
assumptions may have some correlation. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of
the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the pension liability recognised
within the balance sheet.

Defined benefit schemes
UK
The Group\u2019s UK defined benefit scheme is administered by a fund that is legally
separate from the Group. The trustees of the pension fund are required by law to act in
the interest of the fund and of all relevant stakeholders in the scheme. The trustees of
the pension scheme are responsible for the investment policy with regard to the
assets of the fund.
The scheme was closed to future accrual in 2009 and all retirement benefits since that
time are provided by way of a defined contribution scheme. The assets of the scheme
are held separately from those of the companies concerned. A triennial actuarial
valuation of the scheme was undertaken in 2024 and was published in 2025.

The Group remains committed to funding the UK and US defined benefit schemes.
The Company remains committed to paying contributions into the UK scheme for the foreseeable future.
The defined benefit obligation of the US scheme increased to \u00a313.5m at 31 December 2025, mainly due to a one-off adjustment on the calculation of late retirement benefits. The Group
is expecting to contribute \u00a31.7m in 2026.
The Group\u2019s other defined benefit schemes are largely unfunded, with minimal plan assets. Liabilities from these schemes are settled on a cash basis as they fall due.

Assumptions regarding future mortality are based on actuarial advice in accordance with published statistics. Mortality assumptions are based on country-specific mortality tables and, where appropriate, include an allowance for future improvements in life expectancy. In addition, where credible data exists, actual plan experience is taken into account. The Group\u2019s most substantial pension liabilities are in the UK, the US and Germany where, using the mortality tables adopted, the expected lifetime of average members currently at age 65 and average members at age 65 in 20 years\u2019 time is as follows:

The weighted average duration of the benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period is 10.0 years for the UK scheme (2024: 10.0 years), 8.2 years for the US scheme (2024: 6.5 years) and 12.3 years for the German schemes (2024: 13.3 years). Sensitivity analysis Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, assuming that all other assumptions are held constant:
Increase in scheme liabilities
UK US Germany
\u00a3m \u00a3m \u00a3m
Discount rate (decrease of 1%)
27.0
12 .1
7.1
Future mortality rate (one year increase in expectancy)
11.0
4.4
2 .1
The above sensitivities are based on a change of assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assumptions may have some correlation. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the pension liability recognised within the balance sheet.", "dimensions": { "concept": "ifrs-full:DisclosureOfDefinedBenefitPlansExplanatory", "language": "en", "entity": "scheme:213800EHT3TI1KPQQJ56", "period": "2025-01-01T00:00:00/2026-01-01T00:00:00" } }, "fact-562": { "value": "

Company\u2019s financial statements where appropriate.
On 18 December 2025 the Group entered into a trade receivables purchasing
arrangement with Rainbow State Limited, a subsidiary of its largest shareholder Kuala

place with the support of KLK to provide additional short-term financial flexibility and
ensure a prudent level of banking covenant headroom at year end.
Under the arrangement, KLK purchased \u00a350m of Group trade receivables due on or
before 28 February 2026, which were not eligible for inclusion in the Group\u2019s existing
committed non-recourse receivables financing facility. The purchasing arrangement
terms were on an arm\u2019s-length basis and are consistent with terms available from
third-party market participants for an arrangement of this nature. By virtue of KLK and
its connected parties\u2019 c.27% shareholding in Synthomer, KLK is considered a related
