Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup. Control is achieved when the Group has power over an entity<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to use its power to af<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>fect those returns. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The Financial Statements of subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that contr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ol commences until the date that control ceases.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>(ii) Associates Associates are those entities for which the Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. The Financial Statements include the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s share of the total recognised income and expense of Associates on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commenced until the date that significant influence ceases.

The revenues, expenses and cash flows of for<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>eign operations are translated into sterling at average rates of exchange ruling during the year<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>. Where the Notes to the Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup Consolidated Financial Statements include tables reconciling movements<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> between opening and closing balances, opening and closing assets and liabilities are translated at closing rates and r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>evenue, expenses and<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> all other movements translated at average rates, with the exchange differ<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ences arising being disclosed separately<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Exchange differ<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ences arising from the translation of the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are taken to a separate translation r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>eserve<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> within equity<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>.

Monetary assets and liabilities at the date of the Statement of Financial Position denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differ<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ences arising on<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> translation are r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised in the Income Statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign curr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign curr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>encies that are stated at fair value are translated at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates fair value was determined.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>1 Accounting policies <span class=\"fffc ws16\">continued<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Cash flow hedges<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Where a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the variability in cash flows of a highly pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>obable forecasted transaction, the effective part of any gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the cash flow hedges reserve.

Where the hedge is fully ef<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>fective at hedging, the variability in the net assets of such companies caused by changes in exchange<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> rates and the changes in value of the borrowings ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and accumulated in the net investment hedge reserve. The inef<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>fective part of any changes in value caused by changes in exchange rates is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Interest-bearing borr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>owings<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Interest-bearing borr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>owings are recognised initially at the fair value of consideration received, less dir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ectly attributable transaction costs.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Subsequent to initial recognition, inter<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>est-bearing borrowings are measured at amortised cost with any dif<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement over the period of the borr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>owings on an effective-interest basis.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Other financial liabilities<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the ef<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>fective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an ef<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>fective interest basis. The effective inter<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>est method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of the financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The ef<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>fective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>, or<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognition.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group has not participated in any supplier financing arrangements during the curr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ent or prior year<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Property<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>, plant and equipment<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Items of property<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>, plant and equipment ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e stated at cost or deemed cost, less accumulated depreciation.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Depreciation is charged to the Income Statement on a straight-line basis at rates which write down the value of assets to their r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>esidual values<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> over their estimated useful lives.

The annual principal rate are as follows:<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Freehold buildings<span class=\"_ _14d\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">1.5-4.0%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Leasehold buildings<span class=\"_ _149\"> </span>Over life of lease<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Plant and machinery<span class=\"_ _110\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">6.66-10%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Office furniture and fittings<span class=\"_ _110\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">10%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Office equipment<span class=\"_ _1f3\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">12.5-33.3%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Motor vehicles<span class=\"_ _1f4\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">20%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>ooling and patterns<span class=\"_ _114\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">10%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>The depreciation rates ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e reassessed annually<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> The Group has r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>eviewed the principal depreciation rates and has determined a change for plant and machinery from 10-12.5% to 6.66-<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>10%. This is to reflect the extended usage of the large operating equipment ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ound the Group. This impact on current and future periods is not material.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Business combinations Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Identified assets acquir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed and<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> liabilities assumed are measur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed at their respective acquisition date fair values. The excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related costs ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e expensed as incurred. The operating results of the acquired business ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e reflected in the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s Consolidated Financial Statements after the date of acquisition.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The cost of the acquisition is measured as the cash paid and also includes the fair value of any asset or liability r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>esulting from a contingent consideration arrangement at the acquisition date.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>1 Accounting policies <span class=\"fffc ws16\">continued<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Intangible assets<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>(i) Goodwill Goodwill repr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>esents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment (see Note 15 for more detail). Annual impairment tests ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e performed on goodwill by comparing the carrying value<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> with the recoverable amount, being the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use, discounted at an appr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>opriate discount rate,<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> of future cash flows in r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>espect of goodwill for the relevant cash-generating unit. (ii) <span class=\"_ _5\"> </span>Research and development Expenditure on R&amp;D is charged to the Income Statement in the period in which it is incurr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed except that development expenditure is capitalised where the development costs r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>elate to new or substantially improved products that are subsequently to be r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>eleased for sale<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> and will generate future economic benefits. The expenditur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e capitalised includes staff costs and related expenses. Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (see below) and any impairment losses. (iii) <span class=\"_ _2\"> </span>Other intangible assets<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Intangible assets other than goodwill that are acquir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (see below) and any impairment losses.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Where computer softwar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e is cloud based and the Group does not have control of the software, the configuration and customisation costs are expensed over either:<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _11b\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">The period the services are received, wher<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e costs are distinct from the underlying softwar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _11b\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">The period of the SaaS arrangement, where costs are not distinct fr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>om the underlying software<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>(iv) Amortisation Amortisation is charged to the Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date they ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e available for use. The annual principal amortisation rates are as follows: Capitalised development costs<span class=\"_ _1f5\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">20%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>ERP systems and software<span class=\"_ _b\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">12-33%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Brand names and trademarks<span class=\"_ _17d\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">5-33%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Manufacturing designs and core technology<span class=\"_ _1f6\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">6-50%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Non-compete undertakings<span class=\"_ _1f7\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">20-50%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Customer relationships<span class=\"_ _1f8\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">6-33%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Inventories<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Inventories are measur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventory cost is calculated on both a first in, first out and weighted average methodologies depending on which is deemed most appropriate. The cost of inventories includes expenditur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> inventories and work in progr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ess, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>. T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>rade r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>eceivables and other receivables<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>rade receivables ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e carried at original invoice amount (which is considered a reasonable proxy for fair value) and ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e subsequently held at<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> amortised cost less a loss allowance. Other receivables ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e initially measured at fair value. The loss allowance of trade receivables is based on lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected cr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>edit losses are calculated by assessing historic credit loss experience, adjusted for factors specific to the receivable and operating company<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>. The movement in the pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ovision is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>rade and other payables<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>rade and other payables are r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised at fair value and subsequently held at amortised cost.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Provisions and contingent liabilities<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>A provision is r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>obable that an outflow of resources, that to which can be reliably measur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed, will be required to settle the obligation. If the obligation is expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date, the pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ovision is included within current liabilities and if expected to be settled after 12 months, it is included in non-current liabilities. In respect of pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oduct warranties, a provision is recognised when the underlying products or services ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e sold. Obligations arising from restructuring plans ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e recognised when detailed formal plans have been established and there is a valid expectation that such a plan will be carried out. Provisions ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e recognised at an amount equal to the best estimate of the expenditure requir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed to settle the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s liability<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>. If the likelihood of having to settle the obligation is less than probable but mor<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e than remote, or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured reliably then a contingent liability is disclosed.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>1 Accounting policies <span class=\"fffc ws16\">continued<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Cash and cash equivalents<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, and ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e held at<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> amortised cost. Bank overdrafts that ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s cash management are included as a<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Going concern<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s principal objective when managing liquidity is to safeguard the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s ability to continue as a going concer<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>n for at least 12 months from the date of signing the 2022 Annual Report.

The Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s net obligation or surplus in respect of defined benefit pensions is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of futur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e benefit that employees have<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. Past service costs are r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised straight away<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>That benefit is discounted at rates reflecting the yields on AA cr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>edit rated corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s obligations to determine its present value. Pension scheme assets are measur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed at fair value at the Statement of Financial<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Position date. Actuarial gains and losses, differ<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ences between the expected and actual returns, and the effect of changes in actuarial assumptions are r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year they arise. Any scheme surplus (to the extent it is considered r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecoverable under the provisions of IFRIC 14) or deficit is recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Position. The cost of other post-employment liabilities are calculated in a similar way to defined benefit pension schemes and spr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ead over the period,<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> which benefit is expected to be derived from the employees\u2019 services, in accor<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>dance with the advice of qualified actuaries.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> (iii) <span class=\"_ _2\"> </span>Employee share plans Incentives in the form of shares ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e provided to employees under share option and share awar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>d schemes.

The amount recognised as an expense is not adjusted to reflect market-based performance conditions, but is adjusted for non-market-based performance conditions. Revenue<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group applies the following five-step framework when r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognising revenue.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Step 1: Identify the contracts with customers.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Step 3: Determine the transaction price.<span class=\"fffd ls2\"> </span>Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The criteria the Group uses to identify the performance obligations within a contract ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e:<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the customer must be able to benefit from the goods or services either on its own or in combination with other r<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>esources available to the </span>customer; and \u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the entity\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separable fr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>om other promises in the contract.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>1 Accounting policies <span class=\"fffc ws16\">continued<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>The transaction price is the value that the Group expects to be entitled to fr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>om the customer and includes discounts, rebates, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties and liquidated damages, but is not reduced for bad debts. It is net of any value-added tax (V<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>A<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>T) and other sales-related taxes. V<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>ariable consideration that is dependent on certain events is included in the transaction price when it is<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> highly probable that the variable consideration will occur<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Revenue is recognised over time as the pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oduct is being manufactured or a service being provided if any of the following criteria are met: \u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the Group is cr<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>eating a bespoke item which doesn\u2019t have an alternative use to the Group (i.e. we would incur a significant loss to r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e-work and/<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>or sell to another customer) and the entity has a right to payment for work completed to date including a reasonable pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ofit;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the customer controls the asset that is being cr<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>eated or enhanced during the manufacturing process i.e. the customer has the right to </span>significantly modify and dictate how the product is built during construction; \u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\"> <span class=\"_ _3\"></span>services provided where the customer simultaneously r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>eceives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s performance as the<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> </span>Group performs. Judgement is made when determining if a product is bespoke and the value of r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>evenue to recognise over time as products are being manufactured. However due to the low value of or<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ders for bespoke items in progress at the 31st December 2022 where we have a right to payment of costs plus a reasonable pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ofit, this is not considered a critical judgement. The value of revenue to be r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised over time for goods being manufactured is calculated using a cost-based input approach. This is considered a faithful depiction of the transfer of the goods as the costs incurr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed, total costs expected to be incurred and order value are known. The value of revenue to be r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised over time for services being provided is calculated based on the stage of completion. This is assessed by refer<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ence to the contractual performance obligations with each separate customer and the costs incurred on the contract to date in comparison to the total forecast costs of the contract.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>If the criteria to recognise r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>evenue over time are not met then revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains contr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ol of the<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> asset and the performance obligation is satisfied. The customer obtains control of the asset when the customer can dir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ect the use of the asset<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> and obtain the benefits from the asset. Factors the Group considers when determining the point in time when contr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ol of the asset has passed to the customer and revenue recognised include: \u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the Group has a right to payment;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">legal title is transferred to the customer;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\"> <span class=\"_ _3\"></span>physical possession of the asset has been transferred to the customer;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\"> <span class=\"_ _3\"></span>the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership; and<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the customer has accepted the asset.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Control normally passes and r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>evenue recognised when the goods are either despatched or delivered to the customer (in accor<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>dance with the<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> terms and conditions of the sale) or the installation and testing is completed.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>A large proportion of the Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s revenue qualifies for recognition on despatch or delivery of the goods to the customer as this is when the performance obligation is satisfied. This is normally the trigger point for raising an invoice per the terms and conditions of the order<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>. Therefor<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e invoicing for a large proportion of the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s revenue occurs at the same time as when the performance obligation is satisfied.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Contract assets at 31st December 2022 were \u00a311.7m (0.7% of total r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>evenue) (2021: \u00a33.2m (0.2% of total revenue)).<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>All revenue r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised by the Group is generated through contracts with customers.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>When the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the contract exceed the revenue to be r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised the contract is loss making and the expected loss is<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement immediately<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>. W<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>arranties that give assurance that a product meets agreed-upon specifications ar<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>e accounted for as a cost provision and do not impact the timing and value of revenue. The Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup does not have any material warranties that promise more than just providing assurance that a pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oduct<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> meets agreed-upon specifications. Costs of obtaining a contract, that are only incurr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed because the contract was obtained, are capitalised and expensed at a later date. At 31st December 2022 no costs of obtaining a contract were capitalised. All other assets r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised to fulfil a contract are within the scope of other accounting standards and policies.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Leases<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. The Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>espect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (assets with a value of less than \u00a35,000). For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>epresentative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>1 Accounting policies <span class=\"fffc ws16\">continued<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>For new leases entered into, the lease liability is initially measur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the incremental borr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>owing rate for the related geographical location unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. The incr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>emental borrowing rate is calculated at the rate of interest at which the company would have been able to borrow for a similar term and with a similar security the funds necessary to obtain a similar asset in a similar market.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">fixed lease payments (including in substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the amount expected to be payable by the company under residual value guarantees;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the exercise price of pur<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>chase options, if the company is reasonably certain to exer<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>cise the options; and<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exer<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>cise of an option to terminate the lease.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>The lease liability is subsequently measured by incr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>easing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The Group r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>emeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in cir<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>cumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exer<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>cise<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> </span>of a purchase option; and<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a residual guarantee value.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>esponding lease liability<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>, lease payments made at or before<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> the commencement date and any initial direct costs. They ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>eciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>V<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ariable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measur<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>ement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Judgement is requir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed when determining whether to include or exclude optional extension periods within the lease term, and estimation<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> is requir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed when calculating the incremental borrowing rate used to discount the future lease cash flows. These ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e not considered critical judgements or a key source of estimation uncertainty<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>T<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>axation<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The tax charge comprises current and deferr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the Income Statement unless it relates to items recognised dir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ectly in equity or in other comprehensive income, when it is also recognised in equity or other comprehensive income r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>espectively<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Current tax is the expected tax payable on the pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ofit for the year and any adjustments in respect of previous years using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. T<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>ax positions are reviewed to assess whether a pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ovision should be made on prevailing<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> circumstances. T<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>ax provisions are included within curr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ent taxation payable. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differ<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ences arising between<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> the tax base of assets and liabilities, and their carrying amounts in the Financial Statements. Deferred tax assets ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e recognised to the extent that it is probable that futur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax is provided using rates of tax that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the Statement of Financial Position or the date that the temporary differ<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ences are expected to reverse. Deferr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ealised.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Share capital and r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>epurchased shares<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>When share capital r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> as a deduction from equity<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>. Repur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>chased shares are classified as treasury shar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>es or placed in an Employee Benefit T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>rust and are presented as a deduction from total equity<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>.

Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment (see Note 15 for more detail). Annual impairment tests ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e performed on goodwill by comparing the carrying value<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> with the recoverable amount, being the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use, discounted at an appr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>opriate discount rate,<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> of future cash flows in r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>espect of goodwill for the relevant cash-generating unit.

If the obligation is expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date, the pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ovision is included within current liabilities and if expected to be settled after 12 months, it is included in non-current liabilities. In respect of pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oduct warranties, a provision is recognised when the underlying products or services ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e sold.

Judgement is made when determining if a product is bespoke and the value of r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>evenue to recognise over time as products are being manufactured. However due to the low value of or<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ders for bespoke items in progress at the 31st December 2022 where we have a right to payment of costs plus a reasonable pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ofit, this is not considered a critical judgement. The value of revenue to be r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised over time for goods being manufactured is calculated using a cost-based input approach. This is considered a faithful depiction of the transfer of the goods as the costs incurr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed, total costs expected to be incurred and order value are known. The value of revenue to be r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised over time for services being provided is calculated based on the stage of completion. This is assessed by refer<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ence to the contractual performance obligations with each separate customer and the costs incurred on the contract to date in comparison to the total forecast costs of the contract.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>If the criteria to recognise r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>evenue over time are not met then revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains contr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ol of the<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> asset and the performance obligation is satisfied. The customer obtains control of the asset when the customer can dir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ect the use of the asset<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> and obtain the benefits from the asset. Factors the Group considers when determining the point in time when contr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ol of the asset has passed to the customer and revenue recognised include: \u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the Group has a right to payment;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">legal title is transferred to the customer;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\"> <span class=\"_ _3\"></span>physical possession of the asset has been transferred to the customer;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\"> <span class=\"_ _3\"></span>the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership; and<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the customer has accepted the asset.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Control normally passes and r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>evenue recognised when the goods are either despatched or delivered to the customer (in accor<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>dance with the<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> terms and conditions of the sale) or the installation and testing is completed.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>A large proportion of the Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s revenue qualifies for recognition on despatch or delivery of the goods to the customer as this is when the performance obligation is satisfied. This is normally the trigger point for raising an invoice per the terms and conditions of the order<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>. Therefor<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e invoicing for a large proportion of the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s revenue occurs at the same time as when the performance obligation is satisfied.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Contract assets at 31st December 2022 were \u00a311.7m (0.7% of total r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>evenue) (2021: \u00a33.2m (0.2% of total revenue)).<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>All revenue r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised by the Group is generated through contracts with customers.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>When the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the contract exceed the revenue to be r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised the contract is loss making and the expected loss is<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement immediately<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>. W<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>arranties that give assurance that a product meets agreed-upon specifications ar<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>e accounted for as a cost provision and do not impact the timing and value of revenue. The Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup does not have any material warranties that promise more than just providing assurance that a pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oduct<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> meets agreed-upon specifications. Costs of obtaining a contract, that are only incurr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed because the contract was obtained, are capitalised and expensed at a later date. At 31st December 2022 no costs of obtaining a contract were capitalised. All other assets r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecognised to fulfil a contract are within the scope of other accounting standards and policies.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Leases<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. The Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>espect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (assets with a value of less than \u00a35,000). For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>epresentative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Notes to th<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>e Consoli<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>date<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>d Finan<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>cial S<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>t<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>ateme<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>nt<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>s <span class=\"fffc lsf9 ws15a\">con<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>tinued<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Financial Statements<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Spirax-Sarco<span class=\"_ _45\"></span> Engineering plc<span class=\"_ _45\"></span> <span class=\"fffc fc10 lsf ws9\">A<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>nnual Report 202<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>2<span class=\"_ _ef\"></span><span class=\"fffb fc4 ls7a ws78\">19<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>4<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span></span>1 Accounting policies <span class=\"fffc ws16\">continued<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>For new leases entered into, the lease liability is initially measur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the incremental borr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>owing rate for the related geographical location unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. The incr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>emental borrowing rate is calculated at the rate of interest at which the company would have been able to borrow for a similar term and with a similar security the funds necessary to obtain a similar asset in a similar market.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">fixed lease payments (including in substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the amount expected to be payable by the company under residual value guarantees;<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">the exercise price of pur<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>chase options, if the company is reasonably certain to exer<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>cise the options; and<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>\u2022 <span class=\"_ _3e\"> </span><span class=\"ws0\">payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exer<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>cise of an option to terminate the lease.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>The lease liability is subsequently measured by incr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>easing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

Cash generation is equivalent to adjusted cash fr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>om operations,<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> a reconciliation between this and net cash fr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>om operating activities as reported under IFRS is shown on page 197.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Return on invested capital (ROIC) and return on capital employed (ROCE)<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group distinguishes between invested capital and capital employed when calculating r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>etur<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>n on capital. Invested capital represents the total capital invested in the business and is equal to total equity plus net debt and therefor<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e includes the impact of acquisitions and disposals.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Capital employed is invested capital less certain non-current assets and non-curr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ent liabilities and therefore reflects capital that is mor<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> operational in nature. Both of these r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>etur<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>n metrics are used to ensure a full assessment of business performance.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Return on invested capital (ROIC)<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>ROIC measures the post-tax r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>etur<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>n on the total capital invested in the business. It is calculated as adjusted operating profit after tax divided by average invested capital. Average invested capital is defined as the average of the closing balance at the curr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ent and prior year end. T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>axation is<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> calculated as adjusted operating profit multiplied by the adjusted ef<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>fective tax rate.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>An analysis of the components is as follows:<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>2022<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>\u00a3m<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>2021<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>\u00a3m<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>otal equity<span class=\"_ _a9\"> </span><span class=\"fffb fc11 ws159\">1,169.8<span class=\"_ _d0\"> </span></span><span class=\"ws159\">1,010.0<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Net debt including lease liabilities<span class=\"_ _1ae\"> </span><span class=\"fffb fc11 ws159\">755.6<span class=\"_ _cd\"> </span></span><span class=\"ws159\">190.6<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>otal invested capital<span class=\"_ _201\"> </span><span class=\"fc11 ws159\">1,925.4<span class=\"_ _92\"> </span><span class=\"fffc fc10\">1,200.6<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span></span>Average invested capital<span class=\"_ _202\"> </span><span class=\"fc11 ws159\">1,563.0<span class=\"_ _92\"> </span><span class=\"fffc fc10\">1,157.9<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span></span>Average invested capital (excluding acquisitions, disposals and leases)<span class=\"_ _167\"> </span><span class=\"fc11 ws159\">1,263.8<span class=\"_ _92\"> </span><span class=\"fffc fc10\">1,108.4<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span></span>Operating profit as r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>eported under IFRS<span class=\"_ _1ff\"> </span><span class=\"fffb fc11 ws159\">318.8<span class=\"_ _cd\"> </span></span><span class=\"ws159\">320.9<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Adjustments (see adjusted operating profit)<span class=\"_ _130\"> </span><span class=\"fffb fc11 ws159\">61.4<span class=\"_ _1b0\"> </span></span><span class=\"ws159\">19.4<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Adjusted operating profit<span class=\"_ _203\"> </span><span class=\"fffb fc11 ws159\">380.2<span class=\"_ _cd\"> </span></span><span class=\"ws159\">340.3<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>axation<span class=\"_ _204\"> </span><span class=\"fffb fc11\">(94.9)<span class=\"_ _94\"> </span></span>(85.5)<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Adjusted operating profit after tax<span class=\"_ _205\"> </span><span class=\"fc11 ws159\">285.3<span class=\"_ _cd\"> </span><span class=\"fffc fc10\">254.8<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span></span>Adjusted operating profit after tax (excluding acquisitions, disposals and leases)<span class=\"_ _1d5\"> </span><span class=\"fc11 ws159\">277.6<span class=\"_ _cd\"> </span><span class=\"fffc fc10\">254.1<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span></span>Return on invested capital<span class=\"_ _206\"> </span><span class=\"fc11 ws159\">18.3%<span class=\"_ _ce\"> </span><span class=\"fffc fc10\">22.0%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span></span>Return on invested capital (excluding acquisitions, disposals and leases)<span class=\"_ _162\"> </span><span class=\"fc11 ws159\">22.0%<span class=\"_ _ce\"> </span><span class=\"fffc fc10\">22.9%<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span></span>Spirax-Sarco<span class=\"_ _45\"></span> Engineering plc<span class=\"_ _45\"></span> <span class=\"fffc fc10 lsf ws9\">A<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>nnual Report 202<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>2<span class=\"_ _84\"> </span><span class=\"fffb fc4 ls7a ws78\">197<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span></span>Financial Statements<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>2 Alternative performance measures <span class=\"fffc ws16\">continued<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span></span>Return on capital employed (ROCE)<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>ROCE measures ef<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>fective management of fixed assets and working capital relative to the profitability of the business.

In June 2022, the EU General Court dismissed the UK Government\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s appeal following which the UK Government lodged a further appeal to the European Court of Justice. The UK Government\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s appeal has not yet been heard. Like other UK Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oups, the Group submitted its own appeal against the EC\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s decision. The Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s benefit from the FCE in the period from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2022 is appr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oximately \u00a38.7m, including compound<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> interest.

The Group expects to r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ecover this in the event of a successful appeal and has recognised a receivable for the full amount at the year<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>-end balance sheet date. The Group has not r<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>eceived a Charging Notice for the period prior to 1st January 2017, the benefit for this period being \u00a32.8m. HMRC has enquired into the benefit r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>eceived during 2019, which the Group estimates to be \u00a31.0m.

These are all final salary pension schemes and are closed to new members. Ther<span class=\"_ _1\"></span>e is a mix of differ<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ent inflation-dependent pension increases (in payment and deferment) which vary from member to member according to their membership history and which scheme they are a member of. All three schemes have been set up under UK law and ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e gover<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>ned by a T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>rustee committee, which is responsible for the scheme\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s investments, administration and management. A funding valuation is carried out for the T<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>rustees of each scheme every three years by an independent firm of actuaries. Depending on the outcome of that valuation a schedule of future contributions is negotiated with Spirax-Sar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>co.<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> Further information on the contribution commitments is shown in the Financial Review on pages 38 to 45.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>US defined benefit schemes<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group operates a pension scheme in the USA, which is closed to new entrants and fr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ozen to future accrual.

Annual increases in benefits are, to a varying extent from scheme to scheme, dependent on inflation so the main uncertainties affecting the level of benefits payable ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e future inflation levels and the actual longevity of the membership. Benefits payable will also be influenced by a range of other factors including member decisions on matters such as when to retir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> and the possibility to draw benefits in differ<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ent forms. A key risk is that additional contributions are required if the investment r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>etur<span class=\"_ _4\"></span>ns fall short of those anticipated when setting the contributions to the pension schemes. All pension schemes are r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>egulated by the relevant jurisdictions. These include extensive legislation and regulatory mechanisms that ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e subject to change and may impact on the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s pension schemes. The IAS 19 liability measurement known as Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO) and the Service Cost ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e sensitive to the actuarial assumptions<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> made on a range of demographic and financial matters that are used to pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oject the expected benefit payments, the most important of these<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> assumptions being the future inflation levels and the assumptions made about life expectation. The DBO and Service Cost ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e also very<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> sensitive to the IAS 19 discount rate, which determines the discounted value of the projected benefit payments. The discount rate depends on market yields on high-quality corporate bonds. Investment strategies are set with funding rather than IAS 19 considerations in mind and do not seek to provide a specific hedge against the IAS 19 measur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ement of DBO. As a result the difference between the market value of the assets and the IAS 19 DBO may be volatile. Further information on the investment strategy for the UK schemes can be found in the Financial Review on pages 38 to 45.

The Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s principal financial instruments comprise borrowings, cash and<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> short-term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s operations. The Group has various other<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise dir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ectly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> under review<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>, the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The main risks arising from the Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s financial instruments are credit risk, inter<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>est rate risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk. The Boar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>d<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> reviews and agr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Credit risk<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group sells pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oducts and services to customers around the world and its customer base is extremely varied in size and industry sector<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> The Group operates cr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>edit control policies to assess customers\u2019 credit ratings and provides for any debt that is identified as non-collectable.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Interest rate risk<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s policy is to hold a mixture of fixed and floating rate debt. When new debt facilities are enter<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ed into, the Group assesses if this<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> should be fixed or floating depending on the specific circumstances at the time. In addition the Gr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>oup aims to achieve a spread of maturity date<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>s in order to avoid the concentration of funding r<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>equirements at any one time. The ratio of fixed to floating rate debt and debt maturity profile is<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> kept under review by the Chief Financial Of<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ficer in conjunction with the Board.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> Liquidity risk<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts, loans, facilities and<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> leases as appropriate.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Capital management<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s objective is to ensure support of the Group\u2019<span class=\"_ _3b\"></span>s operations and maximise shareholder value. The Group uses cash generated from<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> operations to invest organically or to finance acquisitions. The capital structure comprises of debt and borr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>owings (see Note 24), cash and cash<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> equivalents (see Note 24) along with equity as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requir<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ements, other than financial covenant requirements on external borrowing.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Foreign curr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ency risk<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>The Group has operations ar<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ound the world and therefore its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position can be affected significantly by<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> movements in the rate of exchange between sterling and various other currencies particularly the US dollar and eur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>o. The Group seeks to<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> mitigate the effect of this structural curr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ency exposure by borrowing in these currencies wher<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e appropriate while maintaining a low cost of debt.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> In addition the Group employs Net Investment Hedge Accounting wher<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>e appropriate to mitigate these exposures, with such hedges being<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> designated in both 2022 and 2021. The loss on net investment hedges during 2022 included in the Consolidated Statement of<span class=\"ff100 ls2\"> </span><span class=\"ws159\">Compr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ehensive<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> </span>income was \u00a315.4m (2021: \u00a318.8m gain). This is included within translation reserves in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity (see<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> Note 21).<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> The Group also has transactional curr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ency exposures principally as a result of trading between Group companies. Such exposur<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>es arise from<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> sales or purchases by an operating unit in curr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>encies other than the unit\u2019<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>s functional currency<span class=\"_ _6\"></span>. The Group operates a pr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ogramme to manage this<span class=\"_ _4\"></span> risk on a Group-wide net basis, thr<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ough the entering into of both forward contracts and non-deliverable forward contracts with a range of bank<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> counter<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>-parties.<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span>Fair values of financial assets and liabilities at 31st December 2022 are not materially dif<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>ferent from book values due to their size or the fact that<span class=\"_ _312\"> </span> they were at short-term rates of inter<span class=\"_ _45\"></span>est.

These assumptions are set with close reference to market conditions.  The Group\u2019s defined benefit obligation is discounted at a rate set by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds.

In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The Financial Statements of subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. (ii) Associates Associates are those entities for which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. The Financial Statements include the Group\u2019s share of the total recognised income and expense of Associates on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commenced until the date that significant influence ceases. (iii)  Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-Group balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-Group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Group Consolidated Financial Statements.

In respect of product warranties, a provision is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. Obligations arising from restructuring plans are recognised when detailed formal plans have been established and there is a valid expectation that such a plan will be carried out. Provisions are recognised at an amount equal to the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group\u2019s liability. If the likelihood of having to settle the obligation is less than probable but more than remote, or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured reliably then a contingent liability is disclosed.

(ii)  Defined benefit plans The costs of providing pensions under defined benefit schemes are calculated in accordance with the advice of qualified actuaries and spread over the period during which benefit is expected to be derived from the employees\u2019 services. The Group\u2019s net obligation or surplus in respect of defined benefit pensions is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. Past service costs are recognised straight away. That benefit is discounted at rates reflecting the yields on AA credit rated corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group\u2019s obligations to determine its present value. Pension scheme assets are measured at fair value at the Statement of Financial Position date. Actuarial gains and losses, differences between the expected and actual returns, and the effect of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year they arise. Any scheme surplus (to the extent it is considered recoverable under the provisions of IFRIC 14) or deficit is recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Position. The cost of other post-employment liabilities are calculated in a similar way to defined benefit pension schemes and spread over the period, which benefit is expected to be derived from the employees\u2019 services, in accordance with the advice of qualified actuaries.

   "value": "Revenue The Group applies the following five-step framework when recognising revenue. Step 1: Identify the contracts with customers. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The criteria the Group uses to identify the performance obligations within a contract are: \u2022  the customer must be able to benefit from the goods or services either on its own or in combination with other resources available to the customer; and \u2022  the entity\u2019s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separable from other promises in the contract.  The transaction price is the value that the Group expects to be entitled to from the customer and includes discounts, rebates, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties and liquidated damages, but is not reduced for bad debts. It is net of any value-added tax (VAT) and other sales-related taxes. Variable consideration that is dependent on certain events is included in the transaction price when it is highly probable that the variable consideration will occur. Revenue is recognised over time as the product is being manufactured or a service being provided if any of the following criteria are met: \u2022  the Group is creating a bespoke item which doesn\u2019t have an alternative use to the Group (i.e. we would incur a significant loss to re-work and/ or sell to another customer) and the entity has a right to payment for work completed to date including a reasonable profit; \u2022  the customer controls the asset that is being created or enhanced during the manufacturing process i.e. the customer has the right to significantly modify and dictate how the product is built during construction; \u2022   services provided where the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group\u2019s performance as the Group performs. Judgement is made when determining if a product is bespoke and the value of revenue to recognise over time as products are being manufactured. However due to the low value of orders for bespoke items in progress at the 31st December 2022 where we have a right to payment of costs plus a reasonable profit, this is not considered a critical judgement. The value of revenue to be recognised over time for goods being manufactured is calculated using a cost-based input approach. This is considered a faithful depiction of the transfer of the goods as the costs incurred, total costs expected to be incurred and order value are known. The value of revenue to be recognised over time for services being provided is calculated based on the stage of completion. This is assessed by reference to the contractual performance obligations with each separate customer and the costs incurred on the contract to date in comparison to the total forecast costs of the contract. If the criteria to recognise revenue over time are not met then revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset and the performance obligation is satisfied. The customer obtains control of the asset when the customer can direct the use of the asset and obtain the benefits from the asset. Factors the Group considers when determining the point in time when control of the asset has passed to the customer and revenue recognised include: \u2022  the Group has a right to payment; \u2022  legal title is transferred to the customer; \u2022   physical possession of the asset has been transferred to the customer; \u2022   the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership; and \u2022  the customer has accepted the asset. Control normally passes and revenue recognised when the goods are either despatched or delivered to the customer (in accordance with the terms and conditions of the sale) or the installation and testing is completed. A large proportion of the Group\u2019s revenue qualifies for recognition on despatch or delivery of the goods to the customer as this is when the performance obligation is satisfied. This is normally the trigger point for raising an invoice per the terms and conditions of the order. Therefore invoicing for a large proportion of the Group\u2019s revenue occurs at the same time as when the performance obligation is satisfied. Contract assets at 31st December 2022 were \u00a311.7m (0.7% of total revenue) (2021: \u00a33.2m (0.2% of total revenue)). All revenue recognised by the Group is generated through contracts with customers. When the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the contract exceed the revenue to be recognised the contract is loss making and the expected loss is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement immediately. Warranties that give assurance that a product meets agreed-upon specifications are accounted for as a cost provision and do not impact the timing and value of revenue. The Group does not have any material warranties that promise more than just providing assurance that a product meets agreed-upon specifications. Costs of obtaining a contract, that are only incurred because the contract was obtained, are capitalised and expensed at a later date. At 31st December 2022 no costs of obtaining a contract were capitalised. All other assets recognised to fulfil a contract are within the scope of other accounting standards and policies. ",

   "value": "Leases The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (assets with a value of less than \u00a35,000). For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. For new leases entered into, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the incremental borrowing rate for the related geographical location unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated at the rate of interest at which the company would have been able to borrow for a similar term and with a similar security the funds necessary to obtain a similar asset in a similar market. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: \u2022  fixed lease payments (including in substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; \u2022  variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; \u2022  the amount expected to be payable by the company under residual value guarantees; \u2022  the exercise price of purchase options, if the company is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and \u2022  payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever: \u2022  the lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option; and \u2022  the lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a residual guarantee value. The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of- use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. Judgement is required when determining whether to include or exclude optional extension periods within the lease term, and estimation is required when calculating the incremental borrowing rate used to discount the future lease cash flows. These are not considered critical judgements or a key source of estimation uncertainty. ",

Basic and diluted EPS calculated on an IFRS profit basis are included in Note 10. 2 Alternative performance measures continued Adjusted cash flow A reconciliation showing the items that bridge between net cash from operating activities as reported under IFRS to an adjusted basis is given below. Adjusted cash from operations is used by the Board to monitor the performance of the Group, with a focus on elements of cash flow, such as net capital expenditure, which are subject to day-to-day control by the business. 2022 \u00a3m 2021 \u00a3m Net cash from operating activities as reported under IFRS  241.1 273.4 Restructuring and acquisition-related costs 10.2 \u2212 Net capital expenditure excluding acquired intangibles from acquisitions  (113.5) (62.1) Income tax paid 90.0 78.1 Repayments of principal under lease liabilities (12.9) (11.7) Adjusted cash from operations 214.9 277.7 Adjusted cash conversion in 2022 is 57% (2021: 82%). Cash conversion is calculated as adjusted cash from operations divided by adjusted operating profit. The adjusted cash flow is included in the Financial Review on page 42. The impact of adjustments to operating profit as reported under IFRS of \u00a361.4m (2021: \u00a319.4m) on net change in cash and cash equivalents is a total outflow of \u00a313.5m (2021: \u00a3nil). Included within cash generated from operations is acquisition-related items of \u00a37.1m, related costs on one-off property redevelopments of \u00a30.3m and disposal related costs \u00a30.1m. Included within net cash used in investing activities is restructuring costs of \u00a33.2m and disposal of subsidiaries in Russia of \u00a32.8m. Cash generation Cash generation is one of the Group\u2019s key performance indicators used by the Board to monitor the performance of the Group and measure the successful implementation of our strategy. It is one of two financial measures on which Executive Directors\u2019 variable remuneration is based. Cash generation is calculated as adjusted operating profit after adding back depreciation and amortisation, less cash payments to pension schemes in excess of the charge to operating profit, equity settled share plans, net capital expenditure excluding acquired intangibles, working capital changes and repayment of principal under lease liabilities. Cash generation is equivalent to adjusted cash from operations, a reconciliation between this and net cash from operating activities as reported under IFRS is shown on page 197. Return on invested capital (ROIC) and return on capital employed (ROCE) The Group distinguishes between invested capital and capital employed when calculating return on capital. Invested capital represents the total capital invested in the business and is equal to total equity plus net debt and therefore includes the impact of acquisitions and disposals. Capital employed is invested capital less certain non-current assets and non-current liabilities and therefore reflects capital that is more operational in nature. Both of these return metrics are used to ensure a full assessment of business performance. Return on invested capital (ROIC) ROIC measures the post-tax return on the total capital invested in the business. It is calculated as adjusted operating profit after tax divided by average invested capital. Average invested capital is defined as the average of the closing balance at the current and prior year end. Taxation is calculated as adjusted operating profit multiplied by the adjusted effective tax rate. An analysis of the components is as follows: 2022 \u00a3m 2021 \u00a3m Total equity 1,169.8 1,010.0 Net debt including lease liabilities 755.6 190.6 Total invested capital 1,925.4 1,200.6 Average invested capital 1,563.0 1,157.9 Average invested capital (excluding acquisitions, disposals and leases) 1,263.8 1,108.4 Operating profit as reported under IFRS 318.8 320.9 Adjustments (see adjusted operating profit) 61.4 19.4 Adjusted operating profit 380.2 340.3 Taxation (94.9) (85.5) Adjusted operating profit after tax 285.3 254.8 Adjusted operating profit after tax (excluding acquisitions, disposals and leases) 277.6 254.1 Return on invested capital 18.3% 22.0% Return on invested capital (excluding acquisitions, disposals and leases) 22.0% 22.9% 2 Alternative performance measures continued Return on capital employed (ROCE) ROCE measures effective management of fixed assets and working capital relative to the profitability of the business. It is calculated as adjusted operating profit divided by average capital employed. Average capital employed is defined as the average of the closing balance at the current and prior year end. More information on ROCE can be found in the Capital Employed and ROCE sections of the Financial Review on pages 41 and 42.

EBITDA is calculated by adding back depreciation and amortisation of owned property, plant and equipment, software and development and the 12 month pro-forma EBITDA impact of acquisitions and disposals to adjusted operating profit. Net debt is calculated as cash and cash equivalents less bank overdrafts and external borrowings (excluding lease liabilities). The net debt to EBITDA ratio is calculated as follows: 2022 \u00a3m 2021 \u00a3m Adjusted operating profit 380.2 340.3 Depreciation and amortisation of property, plant and equipment, software and development  37.4 36.2 Acquisitions and disposals pro-forma basis (EBITDA) 33.7 \u2212 Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation 451.3 376.5 Net debt 690.4 130.5 Net debt to EBITDA 1.5 0.3 The components of net debt are disclosed in Note 24. Organic measures As we are a multi-national Group of companies, who trade in a large number of currencies and also acquire and sometimes dispose of companies, we also refer to organic performance measures throughout the Annual Report. These strip out the effects of the movement in exchange rates and of acquisitions and disposals. The Board believe that this allows users of the accounts to gain a further understanding of how the Group has performed. Exchange translation movements are assessed by re-translating prior period reported values to current period exchange rates. Exchange transaction impacts on operating profit are assessed on the basis of transactions being at constant currency between years. The incremental impact of any acquisitions that occurred in either the current period or prior period is excluded from the organic results of the current period at current period exchange rates. For any disposals that occurred in the current or prior period, the current period organic results include the difference between the current and prior period financial results only for the like-for-like period of ownership. The organic percentage movement is calculated as the organic movement divided by the prior period at current period exchange rates, excluding disposals for the non like-for-like period of ownership. The organic bps change in adjusted operating margin is the difference between the current period margin, excluding the incremental impact of acquisitions, and the prior period margin excluding disposals for the non like-for- like period of ownership at current period exchange rates. A reconciliation of the movement in revenue and adjusted operating profit compared to the prior period is given below. 2021 Exchange Organic Acquisitions  and disposals 1 2022 Organic Reported Revenue \u00a31,344.5m \u00a352.5m \u00a3191.6m \u00a322.0m \u00a31,610.6m +14% +20% Adjusted operating profit \u00a3340.3m \u00a313.0m \u00a323.5m \u00a33.4m \u00a3380.2m +7% +12% Adjusted operating margin 25.3% 23.6% -160 bps -170 bps 1  Includes the impact of (i) the acquisition of Cotopaxi Limited, Durex Industries and Vulcanic and (ii) the treatment of our disposed Russian operating companies as disposed from the date at which the Group suspended all trading with and within Russia. Pro-forma Revenue Due to the disposal of our Russian operating companies and the acquisitions of Cotopaxi Limited, Vulcanic and Durex Industries, our reported financial results for 2022 only include the impact of these operations for the period of ownership by the Group. The table below reconciles between statutory revenue as reported within the Consolidated Income Statement, and the 2022 pro-forma revenue had all acquisition and disposal transactions occurred on 1st January 2022. This allows users of the accounts to see the split of revenue by operating segment on a basis that will be like-for-like against 2023.

The rate may also be affected by the impact of any acquisitions. The Group monitors income tax developments in the territories in which it operates, to include the OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative. This includes the setting of a new minimum global corporate tax rate of 15%. We will continue to monitor developments closely and assess whether this will lead to an increase in tax from 2024. The Group\u2019s tax charge for the year ended 31st December 2022 includes a credit of \u00a39.4m in relation to certain items excluded from adjusting operating profit (as disclosed in Note 2). The tax impacts of these items are: \u2022  Amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets (\u00a35.6m credit); \u2022  Costs associated with the acquisition of Vulcanic (\u00a31.8m credit); \u2022  Costs associated with the acquisition of Durex Industries (\u00a31.2m credit); \u2022  Restructuring of the Chromalox manufacturing operations in Soissons (France) (\u00a30.7m credit); and \u2022  Costs associated with the redevelopment of the Group Head Office building in Cheltenham (UK) (\u00a30.1m credit). Excluding these adjustments the tax on profit and the effective tax rate are \u00a392.5m and 25.0% respectively. The UK deferred tax assets and liabilities at 31st December 2022 that are expected to reverse before 1st April 2023 have been calculated based upon the rate of 19% whilst the UK deferred tax assets and liabilities expected to reverse on or after 1st April 2023 have been calculated based upon the rate of 25%. 9 Taxation continued In October 2017, the European Commission (EC) opened a State Aid investigation into the UK\u2019s Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) regime. In April 2019, the EC published its final decision that the UK CFC Finance Company Exemption (FCE) constituted State Aid in certain circumstances, following which the UK Government appealed the decision to the EU General Court. In June 2022, the EU General Court dismissed the UK Government\u2019s appeal following which the UK Government lodged a further appeal to the European Court of Justice. The UK Government\u2019s appeal has not yet been heard. Like other UK Groups, the Group submitted its own appeal against the EC\u2019s decision. The Group\u2019s benefit from the FCE in the period from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2022 is approximately \u00a38.7m, including compound interest. To date, the Group has received, paid, and appealed Charging Notices totalling \u00a34.9m, assessed for the period from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2018. The Group expects to recover this in the event of a successful appeal and has recognised a receivable for the full amount at the year-end balance sheet date. The Group has not received a Charging Notice for the period prior to 1st January 2017, the benefit for this period being \u00a32.8m. HMRC has enquired into the benefit received during 2019, which the Group estimates to be \u00a31.0m. No provisions have been recognised at the year-end balance sheet date for either the Charging Notice amounts or for the estimates for the other periods. No UK tax (after double tax relief for underlying tax) is expected to be payable on the future remittance of retained earnings of overseas subsidiaries. The effective tax rate is calculated as a percentage of profit before tax and a share of profits of Associates. ",

The breakdown of the goodwill value at 31st December across these is shown below: 2022 Goodwill \u00a3m 2021 Goodwill \u00a3m Steam Specialties 127.4 110.6 Electric Thermal Solutions 514.9 241.0 Watson-Marlow 61.0 59.6 Total goodwill 703.3 411.2 The goodwill balance has been tested for annual impairment on the following basis: The carrying values of goodwill have been assessed by reference to value in use. These have been estimated using cash flows based on forecast information for the next financial year which have been approved by the Board and then extended up to a further seven years based on the most recent forecasts prepared by management. Cash flow forecasts extend beyond five years only for Electric Thermal Solutions, incorporating further medium-term revenue growth expected during that period which is consistent with (i) the acquisition plan that indicated a period of greater than five years would be required before a newly acquired segment reaches long-term expected performance and (ii) the extension of forecasts to 2030 aligns with anticipated growth from industrial decarbonisation driven by net zero commitments made by customers. The Group has a strong track record of consistent organic growth over many years and this, coupled with the global decarbonisation targets to which our products support, provides a reliable basis for forecasts longer than five years. The forecast period beyond five years, however, is not a key judgement that would impact the outcome of the impairment tests performed on the Electric Thermal Solutions group of CGUs. The forecast period will be reduced by one year over each of the next three years, such that a five year forecast period will be used from 2025 onwards. The key assumptions on which the impairment tests are based are the discount rates and forecast cash flows which are driven by growth rates and EBIT margins. \u2022  pre-tax discount rates are based on estimations of the assumptions that market participants operating in similar sectors to the Group would make, using the Group\u2019s economic profile as a starting point and adjusting appropriately; taking into account the size of the business along with specific geographical and industry risk factors. Discount rates are not adjusted for estimated impacts of inflation, which is consistent with the calculation of the future operating cash flows to which they are applied; \u2022  short to medium-term growth rates based on external market growth rates (where available) and historical experience within each group of CGUs. The short to medium-term is defined as not more than eight years; \u2022  long-term growth rates are set using the weighted average GDP growth rates (IMF and Oxford Economics) of the group of CGUs end markets; and \u2022  EBIT margins are based on historical performance and expected improvements in operational efficiency and leverage from completed projects. The principal value in use assumptions were as follows: Operating segment 2022 Discount rate 2022 Short to  medium-term growth rate 2022 Long-term growth rate Period of annual cashflow forecast (years) 2021 Discount rate 2021 Short to  medium-term growth rate 2021 Long-term growth rate Period of annual cashflow forecast (years) Steam Specialties 14.1% 5.5% \u2013 10.5% 3.1% 5 10.7% 5.7\u20137.9% 2.5% 5 Electric Thermal Solutions  11.3% 5.9% \u2013 10.1% 2.4% 8 9.8% 3.5\u201314.9% 1.7% 9 Watson-Marlow 12.0% (1.0)% \u2013 12.4% 2.7% 5 10.2% 4.9\u201318.2% 2.0% 5 The results of the Group\u2019s impairment tests are dependent upon estimates, particularly in relation to the key assumptions described above. Sensitivity analysis to potential changes in the key assumptions has been undertaken based on the following reasonably possible change sensitivities in isolation: \u2022  a 100 bps increase in the discount rate applied to each group of CGUs; \u2022  a range of 0 bps \u2013 220 bps reduction in the short to medium-term growth rates and a 50 bps reduction in long-term growth rates used in the cash flow projections; \u2022  a range of 10 \u2013 170 bps reduction in the EBIT margin used in the cash flow projections; and \u2022  a 100 bps increase in the discount rates and a 50 bps reduction in long-term growth rates, combined with a range of 0 \u2013 220 bps reduction in the short to medium-term growth rates and a range of 10 \u2013 170 bps reduction in forecast EBIT margins specifically in relation to the Electric Thermal Solutions group of CGU\u2019s used in the cash flow projections. For each group of CGUs, the Directors do not consider that there are any reasonably possible change sensitivities for the business that could arise in the next 12 months that would result in an impairment charge being recognised.

   "value": "23 Employee benefits Retirement benefit obligations The Group operates a wide range of retirement benefit arrangements, which are established in accordance with local conditions and practices within the countries concerned. These include funded defined contribution and funded and unfunded defined benefit schemes. Defined contribution arrangements The majority of the retirement benefit arrangements operated by the Group are of a defined contribution structure, where the employer contribution and resulting Income Statement charge is fixed at a set level or is a set percentage of employees\u2019 pay. Contributions made to defined contribution schemes and charged to the Income Statement totalled \u00a327.0m (2021: \u00a316.5m). In Germany, following the closure of the  defined benefit schemes to new entrants in 2021, the main scheme for new employees is a defined contribution scheme. Defined benefit arrangements The Group operates several funded defined benefit retirement schemes where the benefits are based on employees\u2019 length of service. Whilst the Group\u2019s primary schemes are in the UK, it also operates other material benefit schemes in the USA as well as less material schemes elsewhere. In funded arrangements, the assets of defined benefit schemes are held in separate trustee-administered funds or similar structures in the countries concerned. UK defined benefit arrangements The defined benefit schemes in the UK account for 47% (2021: 22%) of the Group\u2019s net liability for defined retirement benefit schemes.  Spirax-Sarco operates three UK schemes: the Spirax-Sarco Employees Pension Fund, the Spirax-Sarco Executives\u2019 Retirement Benefits Scheme and the Watson-Marlow Pension Fund. These are all final salary pension schemes and are closed to new members. There is a mix of different inflation-dependent pension increases (in payment and deferment) which vary from member to member according to their membership history and which scheme they are a member of. All three schemes have been set up under UK law and are governed by a Trustee committee, which is responsible for the scheme\u2019s investments, administration and management. A funding valuation is carried out for the Trustees of each scheme every three years by an independent firm of actuaries. Depending on the outcome of that valuation a schedule of future contributions is negotiated with Spirax-Sarco. Further information on the contribution commitments is shown in the Financial Review on pages 38 to 45. US defined benefit schemes The Group operates a pension scheme in the USA, which is closed to new entrants and frozen to future accrual. The pension scheme defines the pension in terms of the highest average pensionable pay for any five consecutive years prior to retirement. No pension increases (in payment and deferment) are offered by this scheme. It also operates a post-retirement medical plan in the USA, which is unfunded, as is typical for these plans. Germany defined benefit scheme The Group operates an unfunded pension scheme in Germany which was closed to future accrual with effect from 1st January 2021 with active members becoming deferred at this date. This curtailment was recognised as a past service credit of \u00a32.0m in the 2021 Consolidated Income Statement . 23 Employee benefits continued Principal Risks The pension schemes create a number of risk exposures. Annual increases in benefits are, to a varying extent from scheme to scheme, dependent on inflation so the main uncertainties affecting the level of benefits payable are future inflation levels and the actual longevity of the membership. Benefits payable will also be influenced by a range of other factors including member decisions on matters such as when to retire and the possibility to draw benefits in different forms. A key risk is that additional contributions are required if the investment returns fall short of those anticipated when setting the contributions to the pension schemes. All pension schemes are regulated by the relevant jurisdictions. These include extensive legislation and regulatory mechanisms that are subject to change and may impact on the Group\u2019s pension schemes. The IAS 19 liability measurement known as Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO) and the Service Cost are sensitive to the actuarial assumptions made on a range of demographic and financial matters that are used to project the expected benefit payments, the most important of these assumptions being the future inflation levels and the assumptions made about life expectation. The DBO and Service Cost are also very sensitive to the IAS 19 discount rate, which determines the discounted value of the projected benefit payments. The discount rate depends on market yields on high-quality corporate bonds. Investment strategies are set with funding rather than IAS 19 considerations in mind and do not seek to provide a specific hedge against the IAS 19 measurement of DBO. As a result the difference between the market value of the assets and the IAS 19 DBO may be volatile. Further information on the investment strategy for the UK schemes can be found in the Financial Review on pages 38 to 45. Sensitivity analysis to changes in discount rate and inflation are included on page 220. The financial assumptions used at 31st December were: Assumptions weighted by value of liabilities % per annum UK pensions Overseas pensions  and medical 2022 % 2021 % 2022 % 2021 % Rate of increase in salaries n/a n/a 2.9 3.1 Rate of increase in pensions 2.9 3.2 2.6 1.8 Rate of price inflation 3.2 3.3 2.4 2.0 Discount rate 4.7 1.8 4.7 2.5 Medical trend rate n/a n/a 7.5 7.5 The UK pensions are closed to future accrual therefore the rate of increase in salaries is not applicable. The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation at 31st December 2022 was approximately 15 years (2021:19 years) for the Spirax-Sarco Employees Pension Fund, 10 years (2021:12 years) for the Spirax-Sarco Executives\u2019 Retirement Benefits Scheme and 16 years (2021:19 years) for the Watson-Marlow Pension Fund.

To the extent that they vest, awards may be satisfied in cash, in shares or an option over shares. For the 2022 grant onwards, the performance criteria is split into three separate parts. 30% of the award is based on a TSR measure where the performance target is based on the Company\u2019s total shareholder return (TSR) relative to the TSR of other companies included in the FTSE 350 Industrial Goods and Services Supersector over a three-year performance period where awards will vest on a sliding scale. All shares within an award will vest if the Company\u2019s TSR is at or above the upper quartile. 18% will vest if the TSR is at the median and the number of shares that will vest will be calculated pro-rata on a straight-line basis between 18% and 100% if the Company\u2019s TSR falls between the median and the upper quartile. No shares will vest if the Company\u2019s TSR is below the median. The second part, amounting to 50% of the award, is subject to achievement of a target based on aggregate EPS over a three-year performance period. 18% will vest if the compound growth in EPS is equal to the growth in global industrial production (IP) plus 2% as published by CHR Economics, and 100% will vest if the compound growth in EPS is equal to or exceeds the growth in global IP plus 8% (changing to IP plus 7% from the 2023 grant onwards), there is pro-rata vesting for actual growth between these rates. The final 20% of the award compares greenhouse gas intensity emission in the base year of the three-year performance period to the final year. Performance will be measured relative to \u00a3m of sales at base year prices to ensure that efficiency savings are not distorted by inflation. 18% will vest if there is 24% reduction in GHG intensity emission, and 100% will vest if there is a reduction in GHG intensity emission equal to or exceeds 31%, there is pro-rata vesting for actual reduction between these rates.

   "value": "Defined benefit arrangements The Group operates several funded defined benefit retirement schemes where the benefits are based on employees\u2019 length of service. Whilst the Group\u2019s primary schemes are in the UK, it also operates other material benefit schemes in the USA as well as less material schemes elsewhere. In funded arrangements, the assets of defined benefit schemes are held in separate trustee-administered funds or similar structures in the countries concerned. UK defined benefit arrangements The defined benefit schemes in the UK account for 47% (2021: 22%) of the Group\u2019s net liability for defined retirement benefit schemes.  Spirax-Sarco operates three UK schemes: the Spirax-Sarco Employees Pension Fund, the Spirax-Sarco Executives\u2019 Retirement Benefits Scheme and the Watson-Marlow Pension Fund. These are all final salary pension schemes and are closed to new members. There is a mix of different inflation-dependent pension increases (in payment and deferment) which vary from member to member according to their membership history and which scheme they are a member of. All three schemes have been set up under UK law and are governed by a Trustee committee, which is responsible for the scheme\u2019s investments, administration and management. A funding valuation is carried out for the Trustees of each scheme every three years by an independent firm of actuaries. Depending on the outcome of that valuation a schedule of future contributions is negotiated with Spirax-Sarco. Further information on the contribution commitments is shown in the Financial Review on pages 38 to 45. US defined benefit schemes The Group operates a pension scheme in the USA, which is closed to new entrants and frozen to future accrual. The pension scheme defines the pension in terms of the highest average pensionable pay for any five consecutive years prior to retirement. No pension increases (in payment and deferment) are offered by this scheme. It also operates a post-retirement medical plan in the USA, which is unfunded, as is typical for these plans. Germany defined benefit scheme The Group operates an unfunded pension scheme in Germany which was closed to future accrual with effect from 1st January 2021 with active members becoming deferred at this date. This curtailment was recognised as a past service credit of \u00a32.0m in the 2021 Consolidated Income Statement ",

The acquisitions of 100% of Vulcanic (completed on 29th September 2022 for consideration of \u20ac200.8m or \u00a3176.5m), 100% of Durex Industries (completed on 30th November 2022 for consideration of US$357.1m or \u00a3296.2m) and 100% of Cotopaxi Limited (completed on 30th January 2022 for consideration of \u00a313.3m) have all been accounted for under the acquisition method. The separately identified intangibles of all three acquisitions are recorded as part of the provisional fair value adjustment. The acquired intangibles relate to brand names and trademarks, manufacturing designs and core technology and customer relationships. The goodwill recognised represents the skilled workforce acquired and the opportunity to achieve synergies from being part of a larger Group. 26 Purchase of businesses continued 3.  Vulcanic is a European leader in industrial process heating solutions and is highly complementary to Chromalox within our ETS Business. As the lead brands within ETS for electric process heating, Chromalox and Vulcanic will support the effective deployment of our industry- leading decarbonisation solutions alongside Steam Specialties. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of Vulcanic is not expected to be tax deductible. Following completion of the acquisition, Vulcanic generated \u20ac34.8m (\u00a329.7m) of revenue and \u20ac8.3m (\u00a37.1m) of adjusted pre-tax profit. Had the acquisition been made on 1st January 2022, Vulcanic revenue and adjusted pre-tax profit would have been approximately \u20ac111.9m (\u00a395.5m) and \u20ac21.1m (\u00a318.0m) respectively. 4.  Durex Industries, located in Illinois (USA), is a specialist in custom electric thermal solutions for ultra-high criticality industrial equipment and is highly complementary to Thermocoax within our ETS Business. Together, Thermocoax and Durex Industries are well positioned to capitalise on the growing demand for increasingly stringent thermal energy requirements in high-technology equipment within market sectors with high barriers to entry. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of Durex Industries is expected to be tax deductible in the USA. Following completion of the acquisition, Durex Industries generated US$5.6m (\u00a34.5m) of revenue and US$1.2m (\u00a31.0m) of adjusted pre- tax profit. Had the acquisition been made on 1st January 2022, Durex Industries revenue and adjusted pre-tax profit would have been approximately US$81.3m (\u00a365.5m) and US$26.4m (\u00a321.3m) respectively. 5.  Cotopaxi Limited is a UK based digitally-enabled global energy consulting and optimisation company, which will enable Steam Specialties to digitally enhance its customer bonding through the provision of physical and digital connections to customers\u2019 infrastructure and equipment. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of Cotopaxi is not expected to be tax deductible. Following completion of the acquisition, Cotopaxi generated \u00a32.9m of revenue and \u00a30.5m of pre-tax profit. Had the acquisition been made on 1st January 2022, Cotopaxi revenue and pre-tax profit would not have been materially different from the figure disclosed. 6.  As at the date of approval of the Financial Statements, the accounting for all current year acquisitions is provisional relating to the finalisation of the acquired intangible assets valuation and certain other provisional balances. Due to their contractual dates, the fair value of receivables acquired approximate to the gross contractual amounts receivable. The amount of gross contractual receivables not expected to be recovered is immaterial. 2021 No subsidiaries were acquired during 2021. ",

   "value": "28 Derivatives and other financial instruments The Group does not enter into significant derivative transactions. The Group\u2019s principal financial instruments comprise borrowings, cash and  short-term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group\u2019s operations. The Group has various other  financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period  under review, the Group\u2019s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group\u2019s financial instruments are credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. Credit risk The Group sells products and services to customers around the world and its customer base is extremely varied in size and industry sector.  The Group operates credit control policies to assess customers\u2019 credit ratings and provides for any debt that is identified as non-collectable. Interest rate risk The Group\u2019s policy is to hold a mixture of fixed and floating rate debt. When new debt facilities are entered into, the Group assesses if this should be fixed or floating depending on the specific circumstances at the time. In addition the Group aims to achieve a spread of maturity date s in order to avoid the concentration of funding requirements at any one time. The ratio of fixed to floating rate debt and debt maturity profile is  kept under review by the Chief Financial Officer in conjunction with the Board.  Liquidity risk The Group\u2019s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts, loans, facilities and  leases as appropriate. Capital management The Group\u2019s objective is to ensure support of the Group\u2019s operations and maximise shareholder value. The Group uses cash generated from  operations to invest organically or to finance acquisitions. The capital structure comprises of debt and borrowings (see Note 24), cash and cash equivalents (see Note 24) along with equity as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements, other than financial covenant requirements on external borrowing. Foreign currency risk The Group has operations around the world and therefore its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position can be affected significantly by  movements in the rate of exchange between sterling and various other currencies particularly the US dollar and euro. The Group seeks to  mitigate the effect of this structural currency exposure by borrowing in these currencies where appropriate while maintaining a low cost of debt.  In addition the Group employs Net Investment Hedge Accounting where appropriate to mitigate these exposures, with such hedges being  designated in both 2022 and 2021. The loss on net investment hedges during 2022 included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive income was \u00a315.4m (2021: \u00a318.8m gain). This is included within translation reserves in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity (see  Note 21).  The Group also has transactional currency exposures principally as a result of trading between Group companies. Such exposures arise from  sales or purchases by an operating unit in currencies other than the unit\u2019s functional currency. The Group operates a programme to manage this risk on a Group-wide net basis, through the entering into of both forward contracts and non-deliverable forward contracts with a range of bank  counter-parties. Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities Fair values of financial assets and liabilities at 31st December 2022 are not materially different from book values due to their size or the fact that  they were at short-term rates of interest. Fair values have been assessed as follows: \u2022  Derivatives  Forward exchange contracts are marked to market by discounting the future contracted cash flows using readily available market data. \u2022  Interest-bearing loans and borrowings  Fair value is calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest cash flows. \u2022  Lease liabilities  The fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate for the related geographical  location unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable.  \u2022  Trade and other receivables/payables  For receivables/payables with a remaining life of less than one year, the notional amount is deemed to reflect the fair value.  28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued The following table compares amounts and fair values of the Group\u2019s financial assets and liabilities: 2022 Carrying value \u00a3m 2022 Fair value \u00a3m 2021 Carrying value \u00a3m 2021 Fair value \u00a3m Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents 328.9 328.9 274.6 274.6 Trade, other receivables and contract assets 395.2 395.2 298.1 298.1 Total financial assets 724.1 724.1 572.7 572.7 2022 Carrying value \u00a3m 2022 Fair value \u00a3m 2021 Carrying value \u00a3m 2021 Fair value \u00a3m Financial liabilities: Borrowings 934.2 918.1 349.5 358.3 Lease liabilities 65.2 65.2 60.1 60.1 Bank overdrafts 85.1 85.1 55.6 55.6 Trade payables 89.9 89.9 67.8 67.8 Other payables and contract liabilities 70.5 70.5 56.2 56.2 Long-term payables 8.8 8.8 4.7 4.7 Accruals 113.2 113.2 85.7 85.7 Total financial liabilities 1,366.9 1,350.8 679.6 688.4 There are no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis for which fair value is disclosed. Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. Fair value of derivative financial instruments are calculated based on discounted cash  flow analysis using appropriate market information for the duration of the instruments.  Financial instruments fair value disclosure Fair value measurements are classified into three levels, depending on the degree to which the fair value is observable: \u2022  Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; \u2022  Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from other observable inputs for the asset or liability; and \u2022  Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques using inputs that are not based on observable market data. With the exception of the Group\u2019s private placement borrowings, there were no significant differences between the carrying value and the fair value of the Group\u2019s financial assets and liabilities. The fair value of private placement borrowings are estimated by discounting the future contracted cash flows using readily available market data and represents a Level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. We consider that the derivative financial instruments also fall into Level 2.

Floating and fixed rate financial assets comprise cash at bank or cash placed on deposit. Currency exposures As explained on page 225, the Group\u2019s objectives in managing the currency exposures arising from its net investment overseas (in other words, it\u2019s structural currency exposures) are to maintain a low cost of debt while partially hedging against currency depreciation. All gains and losses arising from these structural currency exposures are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. In addition the Group employs Net Investment Hedge Accounting in order to mitigate these impacts where appropriate. Transactional (or non-structural) exposures give rise to net currency gains and losses that are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Such exposures include the monetary assets and monetary liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position that are not denominated in the operating (or functional) currency of the operating unit involved. At 31st December 2022 the currency exposures in respect of the euro was a net monetary liability of \u00a3280.8m (2021: \u00a3176.4m net monetary liability) and in respect of the US dollar a net monetary liability of \u00a3225.0m (2021: \u00a3121.4m net monetary asset). At 31st December 2022, the percentage of debt to net assets, excluding debt was 53% (2021: 28%) for the euro, 7% (2021: 1%) for the US dollar and nil% (2021: 1%) for the Chinese renminbi. Maturity of financial liabilities The Group\u2019s financial liabilities at 31st December mature in the following periods: 2022 Trade, other payables and contract liabilities \u00a3m Overdrafts \u00a3m Lease liabilities \u00a3m Long-term borrowings \u00a3m Total \u00a3m In six months or less, or on demand 271.0 85.1 7.9 37.3 401.3 In more than six months but no more than twelve 6.8 \u2013 7.0 201.4 215.2 In more than one year but no more than two 1.7 \u2013 10.9 84.2 96.8 In more than two years but no more than three 1.3 \u2013 7.7 147.0 156.0 In more than three years but no more than four 0.8 \u2013 5.6 107.5 113.9 In more than four years but no more than five \u2013 \u2013 4.2 341.5 345.7 In more than five years 0.8 \u2013 28.1 142.6 171.5 Total contractual cash flows 282.4 85.1 71.4 1,061.5 1,500.4 Statement of Financial Position values 282.4 85.1 65.2 934.2 1,366.9 2021 Trade, other payables and contract liabilities \u00a3m Overdrafts \u00a3m Lease liabilities \u00a3m Long-term borrowings \u00a3m Total \u00a3m In six months or less, or on demand 201.8 55.6 6.4 67.0 330.8 In more than six months but no more than twelve 8.0 \u2013 5.8 2.1 15.9 In more than one year but no more than two 2.4 \u2013 11.0 193.4 206.8 In more than two years but no more than three 1.1 \u2013 6.9 2.4 10.4 In more than three years but no more than four 0.6 \u2013  4.7 2.3 7.6 In more than four years but no more than five \u2013 \u2013 3.6 102.1 105.7 In more than five years 0.5 \u2013 28.3 \u2013 28.8 Total contractual cash flows 214.4 55.6 66.7 369.3 706.0 Statement of Financial Position values 214.4 55.6 60.1 349.5 679.6 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued The Group did not employ any supply chain or similar forms of financing during 2022 or 2021. Cash flow hedges The Group uses forward currency contracts to manage its exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates. The forward contracts are designated as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedging relationship. At 31st December 2022 the Group had contracts outstanding to economically hedge or to purchase \u00a338.9m (2021: \u00a345.5m), and \u20ac12.9m (2021: \u20ac20.3m) with US dollars, \u00a370.4m (2021: \u00a374.3m) with euros, \u00a320.3m (2021: \u00a318.9m), and \u20ac8.4m (2021: \u20ac13.1m) with Chinese renminbi, \u00a310.6m (2021: \u00a37.7m) and \u20ac3.4m (2021: \u20ac3.1m) with Korean won, \u00a32.5m (2021: \u00a36.3m) with Singapore dollar and DKK54.2m (2021: DKK31.6m) with euros. The fair values at the end of the reporting period were a liability of \u00a33.7m (2021: \u00a30.2m liability), included within Trade and other payables on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The fair value of cash flow hedges falls into the Level 2 category of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is estimated by discounting the future contracted cash flow using readily available market data. The contractual cash flows on forward currency contracts at the reporting date are shown below, classified by maturity. The cash flows shown are on a gross basis and are not discounted. 2022 Less than 6 months \u00a3m 6 to 12  months  \u00a3m More than 12 months \u00a3m Total \u00a3m Contracted cash in/(out): Sterling 72.8 70.0 \u2013 142.8 Euro (30.4) (26.2) \u2013 (56.6) US dollar  (23.7) (27.9) \u2013 (51.6) Other  (22.8) (20.8) \u2013 (43.6) Total contractual cash flows (4.1) (4.9) \u2013 (9.0) 2021 Less than 6 months \u00a3m 6 to 12 months \u00a3m More than 12 months \u00a3m Total \u00a3m Contracted cash in/(out): Sterling 61.5 62.1 21.4 145.0 Euro (21.6) (16.8) (8.0) (46.4) US dollar  (24.0) (30.5) (9.7) (64.2) Other  (14.6) (15.4) (3.6) (33.6) Total contractual cash flows 1.3 (0.6) 0.1 0.8 It is anticipated that the cash flows will take place at the same time as the corresponding forward contract matures. At this time the amount deferred in equity will be reclassified to profit or loss. All forecast transactions which have been subject to hedge accounting during the year have occurred or are still expected to occur. A loss on derivative financial instruments of \u00a33.5m (2021: \u00a32.8m loss) was recognised in other comprehensive income during the period. As at 31st December 2022 no ineffectiveness has been recognised in profit or loss arising from hedging foreign currency transactions. Borrowing facilities The Group has various borrowing facilities available to it. The undrawn committed facilities available at 31st December in respect of which all conditions precedent had been met at that date were as follows: 2022 \u00a3m 2021 \u00a3m Expiring in one year or less \u2013 \u2212 Expiring in more than one year but no more than two years \u2013 \u2212 Expiring in more than two years but no more than three years \u2013 350.0 Expiring in more than three years 285.4 \u2212 Total Group undrawn committed facilities 285.4 350.0 At 31st December 2022, the Group had available \u00a3285.4m (2021: \u00a3350.0m) of undrawn committed borrowing facilities in respect of its \u00a3400.0m (2021: \u00a3350.0m) pound sterling revolving credit facility, of which all conditions precedent had been met. This facility expires on 13th April 2027. 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued Sensitivity analysis In managing interest rate and currency risks, the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the Group\u2019s earnings. Over the longer term, however, permanent changes in foreign exchange and interest rates would have an impact on consolidated earnings. At the year end borrowings totalled \u00a31,019.3m (2021: \u00a3405.1m). At 31st December 2022, it is estimated that a general increase of one percentage point in  interest rates would decrease the Group\u2019s profit after tax and equity by approximately \u00a31.7m (2021: \u00a30.1m). For the year ended 31st December 2022, it is estimated that a decrease of five percentage points in the value of sterling weighted in relation  to the Group\u2019s profit and trading flows would have increased the Group\u2019s profit before tax by approximately \u00a317.0m (2021: \u00a313.5m). The effect  can be very different between years due to the weighting of different currency movements. Forward exchange contracts have been included in this calculation.  The credit risk profile of trade receivables The ageing of trade receivables at the reporting date was: Gross 2022 \u00a3m Impairment 2022 \u00a3m Net 2022  \u00a3m Gross 2021 \u00a3m Impairment 2021  \u00a3m Net 2021 \u00a3m Not past due date 236.2 (1.8) 234.4 197.6 (1.9) 195.7 0\u201330 days past due date 48.8 (0.1) 48.7 40.9 (0.2) 40.7 31\u201390 days past due date 29.0 (0.1) 28.9 22.9 (0.5) 22.4 91 days to one year past due date 26.9 (1.3) 25.6 15.4 (1.9) 13.5 More than one year 13.9 (10.4) 3.5 8.4 (8.4) \u2013 Group total 354.8 (13.7) 341.1 285.2 (12.9) 272.3 Other than those disclosed above no other impairment losses on receivables and contract assets arising from contracts with customers have been recognised. Other than trade receivables there are no financial assets that are past their due date at 31st December 2022.  Payment terms across the Group vary depending on the geographic location of each operating company. Payment is typically due between 20 and 90 days after the invoice is issued.  All contracts with customers do not contain a significant financing component. The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows: 2022 \u00a3m 2021 \u00a3m Balance at 1st January 12.9 17.8 Additional impairment 1.0 2.0 Amounts written off as uncollectable (0.3) (1.2 ) Amounts recovered (0.6) (1.2 ) Impairment losses reversed  (0.3) (4.3 ) Exchange differences 1.0 (0.2 ) Balance at 31st December  13.7 12.9 ",

   "value": "28 Derivatives and other financial instruments The Group does not enter into significant derivative transactions. The Group\u2019s principal financial instruments comprise borrowings, cash and  short-term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group\u2019s operations. The Group has various other  financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period  under review, the Group\u2019s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group\u2019s financial instruments are credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. Credit risk The Group sells products and services to customers around the world and its customer base is extremely varied in size and industry sector.  The Group operates credit control policies to assess customers\u2019 credit ratings and provides for any debt that is identified as non-collectable. Interest rate risk The Group\u2019s policy is to hold a mixture of fixed and floating rate debt. When new debt facilities are entered into, the Group assesses if this should be fixed or floating depending on the specific circumstances at the time. In addition the Group aims to achieve a spread of maturity date s in order to avoid the concentration of funding requirements at any one time. The ratio of fixed to floating rate debt and debt maturity profile is  kept under review by the Chief Financial Officer in conjunction with the Board.  Liquidity risk The Group\u2019s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts, loans, facilities and  leases as appropriate. Capital management The Group\u2019s objective is to ensure support of the Group\u2019s operations and maximise shareholder value. The Group uses cash generated from  operations to invest organically or to finance acquisitions. The capital structure comprises of debt and borrowings (see Note 24), cash and cash equivalents (see Note 24) along with equity as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements, other than financial covenant requirements on external borrowing. Foreign currency risk The Group has operations around the world and therefore its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position can be affected significantly by  movements in the rate of exchange between sterling and various other currencies particularly the US dollar and euro. The Group seeks to  mitigate the effect of this structural currency exposure by borrowing in these currencies where appropriate while maintaining a low cost of debt.  In addition the Group employs Net Investment Hedge Accounting where appropriate to mitigate these exposures, with such hedges being  designated in both 2022 and 2021. The loss on net investment hedges during 2022 included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive income was \u00a315.4m (2021: \u00a318.8m gain). This is included within translation reserves in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity (see  Note 21).  The Group also has transactional currency exposures principally as a result of trading between Group companies. Such exposures arise from  sales or purchases by an operating unit in currencies other than the unit\u2019s functional currency. The Group operates a programme to manage this risk on a Group-wide net basis, through the entering into of both forward contracts and non-deliverable forward contracts with a range of bank  counter-parties. Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities Fair values of financial assets and liabilities at 31st December 2022 are not materially different from book values due to their size or the fact that  they were at short-term rates of interest. Fair values have been assessed as follows: \u2022  Derivatives  Forward exchange contracts are marked to market by discounting the future contracted cash flows using readily available market data. \u2022  Interest-bearing loans and borrowings  Fair value is calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest cash flows. \u2022  Lease liabilities  The fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate for the related geographical  location unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable.  \u2022  Trade and other receivables/payables  For receivables/payables with a remaining life of less than one year, the notional amount is deemed to reflect the fair value. 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued The following table compares amounts and fair values of the Group\u2019s financial assets and liabilities: 2022 Carrying value \u00a3m 2022 Fair value \u00a3m 2021 Carrying value \u00a3m 2021 Fair value \u00a3m Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents 328.9 328.9 274.6 274.6 Trade, other receivables and contract assets 395.2 395.2 298.1 298.1 Total financial assets 724.1 724.1 572.7 572.7 2022 Carrying value \u00a3m 2022 Fair value \u00a3m 2021 Carrying value \u00a3m 2021 Fair value \u00a3m Financial liabilities: Borrowings 934.2 918.1 349.5 358.3 Lease liabilities 65.2 65.2 60.1 60.1 Bank overdrafts 85.1 85.1 55.6 55.6 Trade payables 89.9 89.9 67.8 67.8 Other payables and contract liabilities 70.5 70.5 56.2 56.2 Long-term payables 8.8 8.8 4.7 4.7 Accruals 113.2 113.2 85.7 85.7 Total financial liabilities 1,366.9 1,350.8 679.6 688.4 There are no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis for which fair value is disclosed. Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. Fair value of derivative financial instruments are calculated based on discounted cash  flow analysis using appropriate market information for the duration of the instruments.  Financial instruments fair value disclosure Fair value measurements are classified into three levels, depending on the degree to which the fair value is observable: \u2022  Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; \u2022  Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from other observable inputs for the asset or liability; and \u2022  Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques using inputs that are not based on observable market data. With the exception of the Group\u2019s private placement borrowings, there were no significant differences between the carrying value and the fair value of the Group\u2019s financial assets and liabilities. The fair value of private placement borrowings are estimated by discounting the future contracted cash flows using readily available market data and represents a Level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. We consider that the derivative financial instruments also fall into Level 2. Interest rate risk profile of financial liabilities The interest rate profile of the financial liabilities of the Group as at 31st December was as follows: 2022 Total \u00a3m Fixed rate financial liabilities \u00a3m Floating rate financial liabilities \u00a3m Financial  liabilities on which no interest is paid \u00a3m Euro 762.9 642.2 44.9 75.8 US dollar 341.9 283.6 3.0 55.3 Sterling 107.3 21.0 36.3 50.0 Renminbi 46.3 2.0 \u2013 44.3 Other 108.5 18.3 36.1 54.1 Group total 1,366.9 967.1 120.3 279.5 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued 2021 Total \u00a3m Fixed rate financial liabilities \u00a3m Floating rate financial liabilities \u00a3m Financial liabilities on which no interest is paid \u00a3m Euro 452.8 366.8 45.0 41.0 US dollar 49.8 8.9 4.0 36.9 Sterling 65.1 20.0 \u2013 45.1 Renminbi 51.6 1.8 \u2013 49.8 Other 60.3 14.6 \u2013 45.7 Group total 679.6 412.1 49.0 218.5 Terms and debt repayment schedule The terms and conditions of outstanding borrowings were as follows: Currency Nominal interest rate Year of maturity 2022  Carrying value \u00a3m 2021  Carrying value \u00a3m Unsecured private placement \u2013 \u20ac225.0m \u20ac 1.1% 2023 202.0 189.6 Unsecured private placement \u2013 $185.0m $ 5.3% 2028 152.9 \u2013 Unsecured bank facility \u2013 $150.0m $ 5.5% 2025 124.0 \u2013 Unsecured private placement \u2013 \u20ac140.0m \u20ac 3.9% 2027 123.9 \u2013 Unsecured private placement \u2013 \u20ac125.0m \u20ac 4.2% 2029 110.6 \u2013 Unsecured private placement \u2013 \u20ac120.0m \u20ac 2.4% 2026 106.2 101.1 Unsecured bank facility \u20ac 3.5% 2027 79.6 \u2013 Unsecured bank facility \u00a3 0.0% 2023 39.3 4.0 Unsecured bank facility \u20ac 0.0% 2023 38.5 45.0 Unsecured bank facility \u00a3 4.0% 2027 35.0 \u2013 Unsecured bank facility \u20ac 0.0% 2023 5.2 \u2013 Unsecured bank facility \u20ac 0.5% 2023 2.0 \u2013 Unsecured bank facility \u20ac 1.4% 2023 0.1 0.1 Unsecured bank facility SEK 0.0% 2022 \u2013 0.6 Unsecured bank facility \u2013 \u20ac160.0m \u20ac 0.7% 2022 \u2013 58.8 Unsecured bank facility CNY 3.5% 2022 \u2013 5.8 Unsecured bank facility PLN 0.0% 2023 \u2013 0.1 Total outstanding borrowings 1,019.3 405.1 New private placement borrowings of \u20ac265.0m (\u00a3234.6m) and US$185.0m (\u00a3149.8m) along with a term loan of US$150.0m (\u00a3124.4m) all relate to the funding of acquisitions made during the year. The weighted average interest rate paid during the year was 3.3% (2021: 1.2%) . Interest rate risk profile of financial assets The interest rate profile of the financial assets of the Group as at 31st December was as follows: 2022 Total \u00a3m Fixed rate financial assets \u00a3m Floating rate financial assets \u00a3m Financial assets on which no interest is earned \u00a3m Sterling 49.5 0.1 19.6 29.8 Euro 205.8 0.2 62.2 143.4 US dollar 186.3 0.8 36.4 149.1 Renminbi 92.4 6.4 41.1 44.9 Other 190.1 8.6 22.7 158.8 Group total 724.1 16.1 182.0 526.0 2021 Total \u00a3m Fixed rate financial assets \u00a3m Floating rate financial assets \u00a3m Financial assets on which no interest is earned \u00a3m Sterling 63.9 0.1 43.3 20.5 Euro 119.2 0.1 23.4 95.7 US dollar 124.2 \u2013 16.0 108.2 Renminbi 91.2 4.0 40.9 46.3 Other 174.2 12.8 17.3 144.1 Group total 572.7 17.0 140.9 414.8 Financial assets on which no interest is earned comprise trade and other receivables and cash at bank. Floating and fixed rate financial assets comprise cash at bank or cash placed on deposit. Currency exposures As explained on page 225, the Group\u2019s objectives in managing the currency exposures arising from its net investment overseas (in other words, it\u2019s structural currency exposures) are to maintain a low cost of debt while partially hedging against currency depreciation. All gains and losses arising from these structural currency exposures are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. In addition the Group employs Net Investment Hedge Accounting in order to mitigate these impacts where appropriate. Transactional (or non-structural) exposures give rise to net currency gains and losses that are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Such exposures include the monetary assets and monetary liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position that are not denominated in the operating (or functional) currency of the operating unit involved. At 31st December 2022 the currency exposures in respect of the euro was a net monetary liability of \u00a3280.8m (2021: \u00a3176.4m net monetary liability) and in respect of the US dollar a net monetary liability of \u00a3225.0m (2021: \u00a3121.4m net monetary asset). At 31st December 2022, the percentage of debt to net assets, excluding debt was 53% (2021: 28%) for the euro, 7% (2021: 1%) for the US dollar and nil% (2021: 1%) for the Chinese renminbi. Maturity of financial liabilities The Group\u2019s financial liabilities at 31st December mature in the following periods: 2022 Trade, other payables and contract liabilities \u00a3m Overdrafts \u00a3m Lease liabilities \u00a3m Long-term borrowings \u00a3m Total \u00a3m In six months or less, or on demand 271.0 85.1 7.9 37.3 401.3 In more than six months but no more than twelve 6.8 \u2013 7.0 201.4 215.2 In more than one year but no more than two 1.7 \u2013 10.9 84.2 96.8 In more than two years but no more than three 1.3 \u2013 7.7 147.0 156.0 In more than three years but no more than four 0.8 \u2013 5.6 107.5 113.9 In more than four years but no more than five \u2013 \u2013 4.2 341.5 345.7 In more than five years 0.8 \u2013 28.1 142.6 171.5 Total contractual cash flows 282.4 85.1 71.4 1,061.5 1,500.4 Statement of Financial Position values 282.4 85.1 65.2 934.2 1,366.9 2021 Trade, other payables and contract liabilities \u00a3m Overdrafts \u00a3m Lease liabilities \u00a3m Long-term borrowings \u00a3m Total \u00a3m In six months or less, or on demand 201.8 55.6 6.4 67.0 330.8 In more than six months but no more than twelve 8.0 \u2013 5.8 2.1 15.9 In more than one year but no more than two 2.4 \u2013 11.0 193.4 206.8 In more than two years but no more than three 1.1 \u2013 6.9 2.4 10.4 In more than three years but no more than four 0.6 \u2013  4.7 2.3 7.6 In more than four years but no more than five \u2013 \u2013 3.6 102.1 105.7 In more than five years 0.5 \u2013 28.3 \u2013 28.8 Total contractual cash flows 214.4 55.6 66.7 369.3 706.0 Statement of Financial Position values 214.4 55.6 60.1 349.5 679.6 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued The Group did not employ any supply chain or similar forms of financing during 2022 or 2021. Cash flow hedges The Group uses forward currency contracts to manage its exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates. The forward contracts are  designated as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedging relationship. At 31st December 2022 the Group had contracts outstanding to economically hedge or to purchase \u00a338.9m (2021: \u00a345.5m), and \u20ac12.9m (2021: \u20ac20.3m) with US dollars, \u00a370.4m (2021: \u00a374.3m) with euros, \u00a320.3m (2021: \u00a318.9m), and \u20ac8.4m (2021: \u20ac13.1m) with Chinese renminbi, \u00a310.6m (2021: \u00a37.7m) and \u20ac3.4m (2021: \u20ac3.1m) with Korean won, \u00a32.5m (2021: \u00a36.3m) with Singapore dollar and DKK54.2m (2021: DKK31.6m) with euros. The fair values at the end of the reporting period  were a liability of \u00a33.7m (2021: \u00a30.2m liability), included within Trade and other payables on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  The fair value of cash flow hedges falls into the Level 2 category of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is estimated by discounting the future contracted cash flow using readily available market data. The contractual cash flows on forward currency contracts at the reporting date are shown below, classified by maturity. The cash flows shown  are on a gross basis and are not discounted. 2022 Less than  6 months  \u00a3m 6 to 12  months  \u00a3m More than  12 months  \u00a3m Total  \u00a3m Contracted cash in/(out):  Sterling 72.8 70.0 \u2013 142.8 Euro (30.4) (26.2) \u2013 (56.6) US dollar  (23.7) (27.9) \u2013 (51.6) Other  (22.8) (20.8) \u2013 (43.6) Total contractual cash flows (4.1) (4.9) \u2013 (9.0) 2021 Less than  6 months  \u00a3m 6 to 12 months  \u00a3m More than  12 months  \u00a3m Total  \u00a3m Contracted cash in/(out):  Sterling 61.5 62.1 21.4 145.0 Euro (21.6) (16.8) (8.0) (46.4) US dollar  (24.0) (30.5) (9.7) (64.2) Other  (14.6) (15.4) (3.6) (33.6) Total contractual cash flows 1.3 (0.6) 0.1 0.8 It is anticipated that the cash flows will take place at the same time as the corresponding forward contract matures. At this time the amount  deferred in equity will be reclassified to profit or loss.  All forecast transactions which have been subject to hedge accounting during the year have occurred or are still expected to occur. A loss on derivative financial instruments of \u00a33.5m (2021: \u00a32.8m loss) was recognised in other comprehensive income during the period. As at 31st December 2022 no ineffectiveness has been recognised in profit or loss arising from hedging foreign currency transactions. Borrowing facilities The Group has various borrowing facilities available to it. The undrawn committed facilities available at 31st December in respect of which  all conditions precedent had been met at that date were as follows: 2022 \u00a3m 2021 \u00a3m Expiring in one year or less \u2013 \u2212 Expiring in more than one year but no more than two years \u2013 \u2212 Expiring in more than two years but no more than three years \u2013 350.0 Expiring in more than three years 285.4 \u2212 Total Group undrawn committed facilities 285.4 350.0 At 31st December 2022, the Group had available \u00a3285.4m (2021: \u00a3350.0m) of undrawn committed borrowing facilities in respect of its  \u00a3400.0m (2021: \u00a3350.0m) pound sterling revolving credit facility, of which all conditions precedent had been met. This facility expires on 13th  April 2027. 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued Sensitivity analysis In managing interest rate and currency risks, the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the Group\u2019s earnings. Over the longer term, however, permanent changes in foreign exchange and interest rates would have an impact on consolidated earnings. At the year end borrowings totalled \u00a31,019.3m (2021: \u00a3405.1m). At 31st December 2022, it is estimated that a general increase of one percentage point in interest rates would decrease the Group\u2019s profit after tax and equity by approximately \u00a31.7m (2021: \u00a30.1m). For the year ended 31st December 2022, it is estimated that a decrease of five percentage points in the value of sterling weighted in relation to the Group\u2019s profit and trading flows would have increased the Group\u2019s profit before tax by approximately \u00a317.0m (2021: \u00a313.5m). The effect can be very different between years due to the weighting of different currency movements. Forward exchange contracts have been included in this calculation. The credit risk profile of trade receivables The ageing of trade receivables at the reporting date was: Gross 2022 \u00a3m Impairment 2022 \u00a3m Net 2022 \u00a3m Gross 2021 \u00a3m Impairment 2021  \u00a3m Net 2021 \u00a3m Not past due date 236.2 (1.8) 234.4 197.6 (1.9) 195.7 0\u201330 days past due date 48.8 (0.1) 48.7 40.9 (0.2) 40.7 31\u201390 days past due date 29.0 (0.1) 28.9 22.9 (0.5) 22.4 91 days to one year past due date 26.9 (1.3) 25.6 15.4 (1.9) 13.5 More than one year 13.9 (10.4) 3.5 8.4 (8.4) \u2013 Group total 354.8 (13.7) 341.1 285.2 (12.9) 272.3 Other than those disclosed above no other impairment losses on receivables and contract assets arising from contracts with customers have been recognised. Other than trade receivables there are no financial assets that are past their due date at 31st December 2022. Payment terms across the Group vary depending on the geographic location of each operating company. Payment is typically due between 20 and 90 days after the invoice is issued. All contracts with customers do not contain a significant financing component. The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows: 2022 \u00a3m 2021 \u00a3m Balance at 1st January 12.9 17.8 Additional impairment 1.0 2.0 Amounts written off as uncollectable (0.3) (1.2 ) Amounts recovered (0.6) (1.2 ) Impairment losses reversed  (0.3) (4.3 Exchange differences 1.0 (0.2 ) Balance at 31st December  13.7 12.9 ",

   "value": "28 Derivatives and other financial instruments The Group does not enter into significant derivative transactions. The Group\u2019s principal financial instruments comprise borrowings, cash and short-term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group\u2019s operations. The Group has various other financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group\u2019s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group\u2019s financial instruments are credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. Credit risk The Group sells products and services to customers around the world and its customer base is extremely varied in size and industry sector. The Group operates credit control policies to assess customers\u2019 credit ratings and provides for any debt that is identified as non-collectable. Interest rate risk The Group\u2019s policy is to hold a mixture of fixed and floating rate debt. When new debt facilities are entered into, the Group assesses if this should be fixed or floating depending on the specific circumstances at the time. In addition the Group aims to achieve a spread of maturity date in order to avoid the concentration of funding requirements at any one time. The ratio of fixed to floating rate debt and debt maturity profile is kept under review by the Chief Financial Officer in conjunction with the Board. Liquidity risk The Group\u2019s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts, loans, facilities and leases as appropriate. Capital management The Group\u2019s objective is to ensure support of the Group\u2019s operations and maximise shareholder value. The Group uses cash generated from operations to invest organically or to finance acquisitions. The capital structure comprises of debt and borrowings (see Note 24), cash and cash equivalents (see Note 24) along with equity as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements, other than financial covenant requirements on external borrowing. Foreign currency risk The Group has operations around the world and therefore its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position can be affected significantly by movements in the rate of exchange between sterling and various other currencies particularly the US dollar and euro. The Group seeks to mitigate the effect of this structural currency exposure by borrowing in these currencies where appropriate while maintaining a low cost of debt. In addition the Group employs Net Investment Hedge Accounting where appropriate to mitigate these exposures, with such hedges being designated in both 2022 and 2021. The loss on net investment hedges during 2022 included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive income was \u00a315.4m (2021: \u00a318.8m gain). This is included within translation reserves in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity (see Note 21). The Group also has transactional currency exposures principally as a result of trading between Group companies. Such exposures arise from sales or purchases by an operating unit in currencies other than the unit\u2019s functional currency. The Group operates a programme to manage this risk on a Group-wide net basis, through the entering into of both forward contracts and non-deliverable forward contracts with a range of bank counter-parties. Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities Fair values of financial assets and liabilities at 31st December 2022 are not materially different from book values due to their size or the fact that they were at short-term rates of interest. Fair values have been assessed as follows: \u2022  Derivatives  Forward exchange contracts are marked to market by discounting the future contracted cash flows using readily available market data. \u2022  Interest-bearing loans and borrowings  Fair value is calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest cash flows. \u2022  Lease liabilities  The fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate for the related geographical location unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. \u2022  Trade and other receivables/payables  For receivables/payables with a remaining life of less than one year, the notional amount is deemed to reflect the fair value.  28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued The following table compares amounts and fair values of the Group\u2019s financial assets and liabilities: 2022 Carrying value \u00a3m 2022 Fair value \u00a3m 2021 Carrying value \u00a3m 2021 Fair value \u00a3m Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents 328.9 328.9 274.6 274.6 Trade, other receivables and contract assets 395.2 395.2 298.1 298.1 Total financial assets 724.1 724.1 572.7 572.7 2022 Carrying value \u00a3m 2022 Fair value \u00a3m 2021 Carrying value \u00a3m 2021 Fair value \u00a3m Financial liabilities: Borrowings 934.2 918.1 349.5 358.3 Lease liabilities 65.2 65.2 60.1 60.1 Bank overdrafts 85.1 85.1 55.6 55.6 Trade payables 89.9 89.9 67.8 67.8 Other payables and contract liabilities 70.5 70.5 56.2 56.2 Long-term payables 8.8 8.8 4.7 4.7 Accruals 113.2 113.2 85.7 85.7 Total financial liabilities 1,366.9 1,350.8 679.6 688.4 There are no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis for which fair value is disclosed. Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. Fair value of derivative financial instruments are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis using appropriate market information for the duration of the instruments. Financial instruments fair value disclosure Fair value measurements are classified into three levels, depending on the degree to which the fair value is observable: \u2022  Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; \u2022  Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from other observable inputs for the asset or liability; and \u2022  Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques using inputs that are not based on observable market data. With the exception of the Group\u2019s private placement borrowings, there were no significant differences between the carrying value and the fair value of the Group\u2019s financial assets and liabilities. The fair value of private placement borrowings are estimated by discounting the future contracted cash flows using readily available market data and represents a Level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. We consider that the derivative financial instruments also fall into Level 2. Interest rate risk profile of financial liabilities The interest rate profile of the financial liabilities of the Group as at 31st December was as follows: 2022 Total \u00a3m Fixed rate financial liabilities \u00a3m Floating rate financial liabilities \u00a3m Financial liabilities on which no interest is paid \u00a3m Euro 762.9 642.2 44.9 75.8 US dollar 341.9 283.6 3.0 55.3 Sterling 107.3 21.0 36.3 50.0 Renminbi 46.3 2.0 \u2013 44.3 Other 108.5 18.3 36.1 54.1 Group total 1,366.9 967.1 120.3 279.5 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued 2021 Total \u00a3m Fixed rate financial liabilities \u00a3m Floating rate financial liabilities \u00a3m Financial liabilities on which no interest is paid \u00a3m Euro 452.8 366.8 45.0 41.0 US dollar 49.8 8.9 4.0 36.9 Sterling 65.1 20.0 \u2013 45.1 Renminbi 51.6 1.8 \u2013 49.8 Other 60.3 14.6 \u2013 45.7 Group total 679.6 412.1 49.0 218.5 Terms and debt repayment schedule The terms and conditions of outstanding borrowings were as follows: Currency Nominal interest rate Year of maturity 2022  Carrying value \u00a3m 2021  Carrying value \u00a3m Unsecured private placement \u2013 \u20ac225.0m \u20ac 1.1% 2023 202.0 189.6 Unsecured private placement \u2013 $185.0m $ 5.3% 2028 152.9 \u2013 Unsecured bank facility \u2013 $150.0m $ 5.5% 2025 124.0 \u2013 Unsecured private placement \u2013 \u20ac140.0m \u20ac 3.9% 2027 123.9 \u2013 Unsecured private placement \u2013 \u20ac125.0m \u20ac 4.2% 2029 110.6 \u2013 Unsecured private placement \u2013 \u20ac120.0m \u20ac 2.4% 2026 106.2 101.1 Unsecured bank facility \u20ac 3.5% 2027 79.6 \u2013 Unsecured bank facility \u00a3 0.0% 2023 39.3 4.0 Unsecured bank facility \u20ac 0.0% 2023 38.5 45.0 Unsecured bank facility \u00a3 4.0% 2027 35.0 \u2013 Unsecured bank facility \u20ac 0.0% 2023 5.2 \u2013 Unsecured bank facility \u20ac 0.5% 2023 2.0 \u2013 Unsecured bank facility \u20ac 1.4% 2023 0.1 0.1 Unsecured bank facility SEK 0.0% 2022 \u2013 0.6 Unsecured bank facility \u2013 \u20ac160.0m \u20ac 0.7% 2022 \u2013 58.8 Unsecured bank facility CNY 3.5% 2022 \u2013 5.8 Unsecured bank facility PLN 0.0% 2023 \u2013 0.1 Total outstanding borrowings 1,019.3 405.1 New private placement borrowings of \u20ac265.0m (\u00a3234.6m) and US$185.0m (\u00a3149.8m) along with a term loan of US$150.0m (\u00a3124.4m) all relate to the funding of acquisitions made during the year. The weighted average interest rate paid during the year was 3.3% (2021: 1.2%) . Interest rate risk profile of financial assets The interest rate profile of the financial assets of the Group as at 31st December was as follows: 2022 Total \u00a3m Fixed rate financial assets \u00a3m Floating rate financial assets \u00a3m Financial assets on which no interest is earned \u00a3m Sterling 49.5 0.1 19.6 29.8 Euro 205.8 0.2 62.2 143.4 US dollar 186.3 0.8 36.4 149.1 Renminbi 92.4 6.4 41.1 44.9 Other 190.1 8.6 22.7 158.8 Group total 724.1 16.1 182.0 526.0 2021 Total \u00a3m Fixed rate financial assets \u00a3m Floating rate financial assets \u00a3m Financial assets on which no interest is earned \u00a3m Sterling 63.9 0.1 43.3 20.5 Euro 119.2 0.1 23.4 95.7 US dollar 124.2 \u2013 16.0 108.2 Renminbi 91.2 4.0 40.9 46.3 Other 174.2 12.8 17.3 144.1 Group total 572.7 17.0 140.9 414.8 Financial assets on which no interest is earned comprise trade and other receivables and cash at bank. Floating and fixed rate financial assets comprise cash at bank or cash placed on deposit. Currency exposures As explained on page 225, the Group\u2019s objectives in managing the currency exposures arising from its net investment overseas (in other words, it\u2019s structural currency exposures) are to maintain a low cost of debt while partially hedging against currency depreciation. All gains and losses arising from these structural currency exposures are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. In addition the Group employs Net Investment Hedge Accounting in order to mitigate these impacts where appropriate. Transactional (or non-structural) exposures give rise to net currency gains and losses that are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Such exposures include the monetary assets and monetary liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position that are not denominated in the operating (or functional) currency of the operating unit involved. At 31st December 2022 the currency exposures in respect of the euro was a net monetary liability of \u00a3280.8m (2021: \u00a3176.4m net monetary liability) and in respect of the US dollar a net monetary liability of \u00a3225.0m (2021: \u00a3121.4m net monetary asset). At 31st December 2022, the percentage of debt to net assets, excluding debt was 53% (2021: 28%) for the euro, 7% (2021: 1%) for the US dollar and nil% (2021: 1%) for the Chinese renminbi. Maturity of financial liabilities The Group\u2019s financial liabilities at 31st December mature in the following periods: 2022 Trade, other payables and contract liabilities \u00a3m Overdrafts \u00a3m Lease liabilities \u00a3m Long-term borrowings \u00a3m Total \u00a3m In six months or less, or on demand 271.0 85.1 7.9 37.3 401.3 In more than six months but no more than twelve 6.8 \u2013 7.0 201.4 215.2 In more than one year but no more than two 1.7 \u2013 10.9 84.2 96.8 In more than two years but no more than three 1.3 \u2013 7.7 147.0 156.0 In more than three years but no more than four 0.8 \u2013 5.6 107.5 113.9 In more than four years but no more than five \u2013 \u2013 4.2 341.5 345.7 In more than five years 0.8 \u2013 28.1 142.6 171.5 Total contractual cash flows 282.4 85.1 71.4 1,061.5 1,500.4 Statement of Financial Position values 282.4 85.1 65.2 934.2 1,366.9 2021 Trade, other payables and contract liabilities \u00a3m Overdrafts \u00a3m Lease liabilities \u00a3m Long-term borrowings \u00a3m Total \u00a3m In six months or less, or on demand 201.8 55.6 6.4 67.0 330.8 In more than six months but no more than twelve 8.0 \u2013 5.8 2.1 15.9 In more than one year but no more than two 2.4 \u2013 11.0 193.4 206.8 In more than two years but no more than three 1.1 \u2013 6.9 2.4 10.4 In more than three years but no more than four 0.6 \u2013  4.7 2.3 7.6 In more than four years but no more than five \u2013 \u2013 3.6 102.1 105.7 In more than five years 0.5 \u2013 28.3 \u2013 28.8 Total contractual cash flows 214.4 55.6 66.7 369.3 706.0 Statement of Financial Position values 214.4 55.6 60.1 349.5 679.6 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued The Group did not employ any supply chain or similar forms of financing during 2022 or 2021. Cash flow hedges The Group uses forward currency contracts to manage its exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates. The forward contracts are  designated as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedging relationship. At 31st December 2022 the Group had contracts outstanding to economically hedge or to purchase \u00a338.9m (2021: \u00a345.5m), and \u20ac12.9m (2021: \u20ac20.3m) with US dollars, \u00a370.4m (2021: \u00a374.3m) with euros, \u00a320.3m (2021: \u00a318.9m), and \u20ac8.4m (2021: \u20ac13.1m) with Chinese renminbi, \u00a310.6m (2021: \u00a37.7m) and \u20ac3.4m (2021: \u20ac3.1m) with Korean won, \u00a32.5m (2021: \u00a36.3m) with Singapore dollar and DKK54.2m (2021: DKK31.6m) with euros. The fair values at the end of the reporting period  were a liability of \u00a33.7m (2021: \u00a30.2m liability), included within Trade and other payables on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  The fair value of cash flow hedges falls into the Level 2 category of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is estimated by discounting the future contracted cash flow using readily available market data. The contractual cash flows on forward currency contracts at the reporting date are shown below, classified by maturity. The cash flows shown  are on a gross basis and are not discounted. 2022 Less than  6 months  \u00a3m 6 to 12  months  \u00a3m More than  12 months  \u00a3m Total  \u00a3m Contracted cash in/(out):  Sterling 72.8 70.0 \u2013 142.8 Euro (30.4) (26.2) \u2013 (56.6) US dollar  (23.7) (27.9) \u2013 (51.6) Other  (22.8) (20.8) \u2013 (43.6) Total contractual cash flows (4.1) (4.9) \u2013 (9.0) 2021 Less than  6 months  \u00a3m 6 to 12 months  \u00a3m More than  12 months  \u00a3m Total  \u00a3m Contracted cash in/(out):  Sterling 61.5 62.1 21.4 145.0 Euro (21.6) (16.8) (8.0) (46.4) US dollar  (24.0) (30.5) (9.7) (64.2) Other  (14.6) (15.4) (3.6) (33.6) Total contractual cash flows 1.3 (0.6) 0.1 0.8 It is anticipated that the cash flows will take place at the same time as the corresponding forward contract matures. At this time the amount  deferred in equity will be reclassified to profit or loss.  All forecast transactions which have been subject to hedge accounting during the year have occurred or are still expected to occur. A loss on derivative financial instruments of \u00a33.5m (2021: \u00a32.8m loss) was recognised in other comprehensive income during the period. As at 31st December 2022 no ineffectiveness has been recognised in profit or loss arising from hedging foreign currency transactions. Borrowing facilities The Group has various borrowing facilities available to it. The undrawn committed facilities available at 31st December in respect of which  all conditions precedent had been met at that date were as follows: 2022 \u00a3m 2021 \u00a3m Expiring in one year or less \u2013 \u2212 Expiring in more than one year but no more than two years \u2013 \u2212 Expiring in more than two years but no more than three years \u2013 350.0 Expiring in more than three years 285.4 \u2212 Total Group undrawn committed facilities 285.4 350.0 At 31st December 2022, the Group had available \u00a3285.4m (2021: \u00a3350.0m) of undrawn committed borrowing facilities in respect of its  \u00a3400.0m (2021: \u00a3350.0m) pound sterling revolving credit facility, of which all conditions precedent had been met. This facility expires on 13th  April 2027. 28 Derivatives and other financial instruments continued Sensitivity analysis In managing interest rate and currency risks, the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the Group\u2019s earnings. Over the longer term, however, permanent changes in foreign exchange and interest rates would have an impact on consolidated earnings. At the year end borrowings totalled \u00a31,019.3m (2021: \u00a3405.1m). At 31st December 2022, it is estimated that a general increase of one percentage point in interest rates would decrease the Group\u2019s profit after tax and equity by approximately \u00a31.7m (2021: \u00a30.1m). For the year ended 31st December 2022, it is estimated that a decrease of five percentage points in the value of sterling weighted in relation to the Group\u2019s profit and trading flows would have increased the Group\u2019s profit before tax by approximately \u00a317.0m (2021: \u00a313.5m). The effect can be very different between years due to the weighting of different currency movements. Forward exchange contracts have been included in this calculation. The credit risk profile of trade receivables The ageing of trade receivables at the reporting date was: Gross 2022 \u00a3m Impairment 2022 \u00a3m Net 2022 \u00a3m Gross 2021 \u00a3m Impairment 2021  \u00a3m Net 2021 \u00a3m Not past due date 236.2 (1.8) 234.4 197.6 (1.9) 195.7 0\u201330 days past due date 48.8 (0.1) 48.7 40.9 (0.2) 40.7 31\u201390 days past due date 29.0 (0.1) 28.9 22.9 (0.5) 22.4 91 days to one year past due date 26.9 (1.3) 25.6 15.4 (1.9) 13.5 More than one year 13.9 (10.4) 3.5 8.4 (8.4) \u2013 Group total 354.8 (13.7) 341.1 285.2 (12.9) 272.3 Other than those disclosed above no other impairment losses on receivables and contract assets arising from contracts with customers have been recognised. Other than trade receivables there are no financial assets that are past their due date at 31st December 2022. Payment terms across the Group vary depending on the geographic location of each operating company. Payment is typically due between 20 and 90 days after the invoice is issued. All contracts with customers do not contain a significant financing component. The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows: 2022 \u00a3m 2021 \u00a3m Balance at 1st January 12.9 17.8 Additional impairment 1.0 2.0 Amounts written off as uncollectable (0.3) (1.2 ) Amounts recovered (0.6) (1.2 ) Impairment losses reversed  (0.3) (4.3 Exchange differences 1.0 (0.2 ) Balance at 31st December  13.7 12.9 ",

   "value": "Foreign currency risk The Group has operations around the world and therefore its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position can be affected significantly by  movements in the rate of exchange between sterling and various other currencies particularly the US dollar and euro. The Group seeks to  mitigate the effect of this structural currency exposure by borrowing in these currencies where appropriate while maintaining a low cost of debt.  In addition the Group employs Net Investment Hedge Accounting where appropriate to mitigate these exposures, with such hedges being  designated in both 2022 and 2021. The loss on net investment hedges during 2022 included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive income was \u00a315.4m (2021: \u00a318.8m gain). This is included within translation reserves in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity (see  Note 21).  The Group also has transactional currency exposures principally as a result of trading between Group companies. Such exposures arise from  sales or purchases by an operating unit in currencies other than the unit\u2019s functional currency. The Group operates a programme to manage this risk on a Group-wide net basis, through the entering into of both forward contracts and non-deliverable forward contracts with a range of bank  counter-parties. Currency exposures As explained on page 225, the Group\u2019s objectives in managing the currency exposures arising from its net investment overseas (in other words, it\u2019s structural currency exposures) are to maintain a low cost of debt while partially hedging against currency depreciation. All gains and losses arising from these structural currency exposures are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. In addition the Group employs Net Investment Hedge Accounting in order to mitigate these impacts where appropriate. Transactional (or non-structural) exposures give rise to net currency gains and losses that are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Such exposures include the monetary assets and monetary liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position that are not denominated in the operating (or functional) currency of the operating unit involved. At 31st December 2022 the currency exposures in respect of the euro was a net monetary liability of \u00a3280.8m (2021: \u00a3176.4m net monetary liability) and in respect of the US dollar a net monetary liability of \u00a3225.0m (2021: \u00a3121.4m net monetary asset). At 31st December 2022, the percentage of debt to net assets, excluding debt was 53% (2021: 28%) for the euro, 7% (2021: 1%) for the US dollar and nil% (2021: 1%) for the Chinese renminbi. ",

Financial instruments fair value disclosure Fair value measurements are classified into three levels, depending on the degree to which the fair value is observable: \u2022  Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; \u2022  Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from other observable inputs for the asset or liability; and \u2022  Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques using inputs that are not based on observable market data. With the exception of the Group\u2019s private placement borrowings, there were no significant differences between the carrying value and the fair value of the Group\u2019s financial assets and liabilities. The fair value of private placement borrowings are estimated by discounting the future contracted cash flows using readily available market data and represents a Level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.
