Material accounting policies The material accounting policies applied in the consolidated Financial Statements are set out below. These accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated Financial Statements. The financial information presented is as at and for the financial years ended 30 September 2024 and 30 September 2023. Statement of compliance The consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (\u2018IFRS Accounting standards\u2019) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The functional currencies of entities in the Group are Pounds Sterling and Canadian Dollars. The consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Pounds Sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except where otherwise indicated. Basis of preparation The consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, except for fair value items on acquisition (see note 32). The Company has elected to prepare its Financial Statements in accordance with FRS 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. On publishing the Parent Company Financial Statements here together with the Group Financial Statements, the Company has taken advantage of the exemption in s408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its individual income statement and statement of comprehensive income and related notes that form a part of these approved Financial Statements. Judgements made by the Directors, in the application of these accounting policies, that have significant effect on the Financial Statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed on page 153. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial information incorporates the Financial Statements of the Company and all of its subsidiary undertakings. The Financial Statements of all Group companies are adjusted, where necessary, to ensure the use of consistent accounting policies. Acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method from the date control passes to the Group. On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill, or a gain on bargain purchase if the fair values of the identifiable net assets are below the cost of acquisition. Intragroup balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The results of Lincoln Bowl, Woodlawn Bowl Inc., Lucky 9 Bowling Centre Limited as well as its associated restaurant and bar, Monkey 9 Brewing Pub Corp and Stoked Entertainment Centre Limited are included from the respective dates of acquisition, being 2 October 2023, 7 November 2023, 11 November 2023 and 24 June 2024. Earnings per share The calculation of earnings per ordinary share is based on earnings after tax and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group has two types of dilutive potential ordinary shares, being those unvested shares granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plans and Save-As-You-Earn plans.
Standards issued not yet effective
At the date of authorisation of this financial information, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards
applicable to the Group have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Group. These are listed below:
Standard/interpretation Content
Applicable for financial
years beginning on/after
IAS 1 Classification of
Liabilities as Current or
Non-current and
Non-current liabilities
with covenants
Amendments made to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements in 2020 and 2022
clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights
that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the entity\u2019s
expectations or events after the reporting date (for example, the receipt of a waiver or a
breach of covenant that an entity is required to comply with only after the reporting period).
1 October 2024
IAS 7 and IFRS 7
Supplier finance
arrangements
The amendments introduce new disclosures relating to supplier finance arrangements that
assist users of the financial statements to assess the effects of these arrangements on an
entity\u2019s liabilities and cash flows and on an entity\u2019s exposure to liquidity risk.
1 October 2024
IFRS 16 Lease liability in
a sale and leaseback
These amendments include requirements for sale and leaseback transactions in IFRS 16 to
explain how an entity accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction.
Sale and leaseback transactions where some or all the lease payments are variable lease
payments that do not depend on an index or rate are most likely to be impacted.
1 October 2024
IAS 21 Lack of
exchangeability
An entity is impacted by the amendments when it has a transaction or an operation in a
foreign currency that is not exchangeable into another currency at a measurement date for a
specified purpose. A currency is exchangeable when there is an ability to obtain the other
currency (with a normal administrative delay), and the transaction would take place through
a market or exchange mechanism that creates enforceable rights and obligations.
1 October 2025
Amendments to IFRS 9
and IFRS 7
Classification and
measurement of
financial instruments
On 30 May 2024, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to respond
to recent questions arising in practice, and to include new requirements not only for financial
institutions but also for corporate entities. These amendments:
\u2022 clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a
new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system;
\u2022 clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely
payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion;
\u2022 add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash
flows (such as some financial instruments with features linked to the achievement of
environment, social and governance targets); and
\u2022 update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI).
1 October 2026
IFRS 18 Presentation
and disclosure in
financials statements
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements and introduces the following
key requirements:
\u2022 Entities are required to classify all income and expenses into five categories in the statement
of profit or loss, namely the operating, investing, financing, discontinued operations and
income tax categories. Entities are also required to present a newly-defined operating profit
subtotal. Entities\u2019 net profit will not change.
\u2022 Management-defined performance measures (MPMs) are disclosed in a single note in the
financial statements.
\u2022 Enhanced guidance is provided on how to group information in the financial statements.
In addition, all entities are required to use the operating profit subtotal as the starting point for
the statement of cash flows when presenting operating cash flows under the indirect
method. The Group is still in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard,
particularly with respect to the structure of the Group\u2019s statement of profit or loss, the
statement of cash flows and the additional disclosures required for MPMs.
1 October 2027
None of the above amendments are expected to have a material impact on the Group.
Climate change
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has considered the impact of climate change, taking into account the
relevant disclosures in the strategic report, including those made in accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-
related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Companies (Strategic Report) (Climate-related Financial Disclosure) Regulation 2022 set out
on pages 64 to 73 and our sustainability targets.
The expected environmental impact on the business has been modelled. The current available information and assessment did not identify
any risks that would require the useful economic life of assets to be reduced in the year or identify the need for impairment that would impact
the carrying values of such assets or have any other impact on the financial statements.
For many years, Hollywood Bowl Group plc has placed sustainability at the centre of its strategy and has been working on becoming a more sustainable business. A number of actions have been implemented to help mitigate and adapt against climate-related risks. The cost and benefits of such actions are embedded into the cost structure of the business and are included in our five-year plan. This includes the roll-out of Pins on Strings technology, solar panels and the move to 100 per cent renewable energy. The five-year plan has been used to support our impairment reviews and going concern and viability assessment (see viability statement on pages 80). Our TCFD disclosures on pages 64 to 73 include climate-related risks and opportunities based on various scenarios. When considering climate scenario analysis, and modelling severe but plausible downside scenarios, we have used the NGFS \u2018early action\u2019 scenario as the most severe case for climate transition risks, and the IPCC\u2019s SSP5-8.5 as the most severe case for physical climate risk. Whilst these represent situations where climate could have a significant effect on the operations, these do not include our future mitigating actions which we would adopt as part of our strategy. The climate transition plan to net zero outlines that it may not be feasible to completely abate Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2050. In this instance, the Group will offset residual emissions through actions like carbon removals or ecosystem restoration. The assessment with respect to the impact of climate change will be kept under review by management, as the future impacts depend on factors outside of the Group\u2019s control, which are not all currently known. Going concern In assessing the going concern position of the Group for the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2024, the Directors have considered the Group\u2019s cash flow, liquidity, and business activities, as well as the principal risks identified in the Group\u2019s Risk Register. As at 30 September 2024, the Group had cash balances of \u00a328.7m, no outstanding loan balances and an undrawn RCF of \u00a325m. The Group has undertaken a review of its liquidity using a base case and a severe but plausible downside scenario. The base case is the Board approved budget for FY2025 as well as the first three months of FY2026 which forms part of the Board approved five-year plan. As noted above, the costs and benefits of our actions on climate change are embedded into the cost structure of the business and included in our five-year plan. Under this scenario there would be positive cash flow, strong profit performance and all covenants would be passed. It should also be noted that the RCF remains undrawn. Furthermore, it is assumed that the Group adheres to its capital allocation policy. The most severe downside scenario stress tests for reasonably adverse variations in the economic environment leading to a deterioration in trading conditions and performance. Under this severe but plausible downside scenario, the Group has modelled revenues dropping by 3 and 4 per cent from the assumed base case for FY2025 and FY2026 respectively and inflation continues at an even higher rate than in the base case, specifically around cost of labour in respect of National Living and Minimum wage as well as increased National Insurance contributions. The model still assumes that investments into new centres would continue, whilst refurbishments in the early part of FY2025 would be reduced. These are all mitigating actions that the Group has in its control. Under this scenario, the Group will still be profitable and have sufficient liquidity within its cash position to not draw down the RCF, with all financial covenants passed. Taking the above and the principal risks faced by the Group into consideration, the Directors are satisfied that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operation and meet their liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, the Group and Company continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these Financial Statements. Revenue Revenue from customers is the total amount receivable by the Group for goods and services supplied, excluding VAT, other sales taxes and discounts, and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group\u2019s performance obligations in respect of individual revenue streams are outlined below. Revenue arising from bowling and mini-golf is recognised when the customer actually plays, with deposits paid in advance being held on the balance sheet until that time and then recognised as income. Revenue for food and drink is recognised when the product has been transferred to the buyer at the point of sale, which is generally when payment is received. Revenue for amusements is recognised when the customer plays the amusement machine. Revenue from installation of bowling equipment contracts is recognised over time using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress. Incurred costs represent work performed, which corresponds with and best depicts transfer of control or the enhancement of the customer\u2019s assets. Contract costs included in the calculation are comprised of materials and subcontracts\u2019 costs. This is not considered to be material revenue for the Group and is not therefore a significant area of judgement. Revenue from customers is disaggregated by major product and service lines, being bowling, food and drink, amusements, mini golf, installation of bowling equipment and other. Disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers is disclosed in note 3 on page 154. Given the nature of the Group\u2019s revenue streams, recognition of revenue is not considered to be a significant area of judgement. Operating segments Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-makers. The chief operating decision-makers have been identified as the management team including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. The Board considers that the Group\u2019s activity constitutes two operating and two reporting segments, being the provision of ten-pin bowling and mini-golf centres in the United Kingdom and the provision of ten-pin bowling and mini-golf centres and the installation of bowling equipment in Canada, as defined under IFRS 8. Management reviews the performance of the Group by reference to total results against budget. The total profit measures are operating profit and profit after tax for the period, both disclosed on the face of the consolidated income statement and statement of comprehensive income. No differences exist between the basis of preparation of the performance measures used by management and the figures in the Group\u2019s financial information, as adjusted where appropriate. Employee benefits (i) Short-term benefits Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. (ii) Defined contribution plans The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Group. The annual contributions payable are charged to the income statement. The Group also contributes to the personal pension plans of the Directors. (iii) Share-based payments The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment plans for its employees, under which the employees are granted equity instruments of Hollywood Bowl Group plc. The fair value of services received in exchange for the equity instruments is determined by reference to the fair value of the instruments granted at grant date. The fair value of the instruments includes any market performance conditions and non-vesting conditions. The expense is recognised over the vesting period of the award taking into account any non-market performance and service conditions. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. (iv) Save-As-You-Earn plans The Group operates two equity-settled SAYE plans. The fair value is calculated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The resulting cost is charged to the Group income statement over the vesting period. The value of the charge is adjusted to reflect expected and actual levels of vesting. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash at bank and on hand, short-term deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and credit and debit card receivables. Leases The Group as lessee 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 from the date at which the leased asset becomes available for use by the Group, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets. 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. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The lease term is the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has the right to use an underlying asset plus periods covered by an extension option if an extension is reasonably certain. The majority of property leases are covered by the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (LTA) which gives the right to extend the lease beyond the termination date. The Group expects to extend the property leases covered by the LTA. This extension period is not included within the lease term as a termination date cannot be determined as the Group is not reasonably certain to extend the lease given the contractual rights of the landlord under certain circumstances. Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term or a change in the lease payments (e.g. changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments). The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the \u2018impairment\u2019 policy. As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Group has not used this practical expedient. For contracts that contain a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e. those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material. Dilapidation provision A provision will be recorded if, as lessee, the Group has a commitment to make good the property at the end of the lease, which would be for the cost of returning the leased property to its original state. Changes to the dilapidation provision are recorded in property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment Freehold land and building assets were included at fair value on the acquisition of Teaquinn in FY2022. Subsequent additions are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. Freehold land is not depreciated. All other property, plant and equipment is stated at historic cost, including expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquired item, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of all property, plant and equipment evenly over their expected useful lives, calculated at the following rates: Freehold property over 50 years Leasehold improvements lesser of lease period and 25 years Lanes and Pins on Strings over 30\u201340 years Plant and machinery and fixtures, fittings and equipment over 3\u201325 years The carrying value of the property, plant and equipment is compared to the higher of value-in-use and the fair value less costs to sell. If the carrying value exceeds the higher of the value-in-use and fair value less the costs to sell the asset, then the asset is impaired and its value reduced by recognising an impairment provision. New centre landlord contributions are offset against leasehold property expenditure where the related assets remain the property of the landlord. Refurbishment costs are included within plant and machinery and fixtures, fittings and equipment and are depreciated over the relevant useful economic life. Residual values, remaining useful economic lives and depreciation periods and methods are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate. Assets under construction represents the construction of centres and are included in property, plant and equipment. No depreciation is provided on assets under construction until the asset is available for use. Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary undertaking is the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. Negative goodwill is recognised in the consolidated income statement immediately as a gain on bargain purchase. Positive goodwill is capitalised and stated at cost less any impairment losses. Impairment tests on the carrying value of goodwill are undertaken: \u2022 at the end of the first full financial period following acquisition and at the end of every subsequent financial period; and \u2022 in other periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Software which is not an integral part of hardware assets is stated at historic cost, including expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquired item, less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Other intangible assets include assets acquired in a business combination and are capitalised at fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, finite life intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, with the expense charged to the income statement through administrative expenses. Amortisation is provided to write off the cost of all intangible assets, except for goodwill, evenly over their expected useful lives, calculated at the following rates: Software over 3 years Customer relationships over 10\u201315 years Brand names over 5\u201320 years Trademark over 20 years The amortisation charge is recognised in administrative expenses in the income statement. Inventories Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is calculated based on the revenue from sale in the normal course of business less any costs to sell. Due allowance is made for obsolete and slow-moving items. Impairment (i) Impairment of financial assets The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) on financial assets measured at amortised cost. The financial assets comprises trade and other receivables. These are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL as these relate to trade and other receivables and a simplified approach can be adopted. The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk. There is limited exposure to ECLs due to the business model. ECLs are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset. Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have the assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group\u2019s procedures for recovery of amounts due. (ii) Impairment of non-financial assets The carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period for impairment. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets\u2019 fair value less costs to sell and their value-in-use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flows. These assets are grouped together into Cash Generating Units to assess impairment. A sensitivity analysis is also performed (see note 14). An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement immediately. In respect of assets other than goodwill, and when there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income statement immediately. Taxation Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred taxation Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the consolidated statement of financial position differs from its tax base, except for differences arising on: \u2022 the initial recognition of goodwill; \u2022 the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit; and \u2022 investments in subsidiaries where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax liabilities or assets are settled or recovered. Deferred tax balances are not discounted. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on either: \u2022 the same taxable Group company; or \u2022 different entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or recovered. Equity The following describes the nature and purpose of each reserve within equity: \u2022 share capital: the nominal value of equity shares; \u2022 share premium account: proceeds received in excess of the nominal value of shares issued, net of any transaction costs; \u2022 retained earnings: all other net gains and losses and transactions with owners (e.g. dividends) not recognised elsewhere; \u2022 capital redemption reserve: the capital redemption reserve represents the ordinary shares of \u00a30.01 each repurchased by the Group under the share buy back; \u2022 merger reserve: represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value consideration for the business combination which arose during the Company\u2019s IPO listing. This was satisfied by the issue of shares in accordance with s612 of the Companies Act 2006; and \u2022 foreign currency translation reserve: retranslation gains and losses of foreign currency denominated operations. Financial instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. (i) Recognition and initial measurement Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). A financial liability is classified as measured at either amortised cost or FVTPL. (ii) Classification and subsequent measurement Financial assets Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model. A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: \u2022 it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and \u2022 its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are \u2018solely payments of principal and interest\u2019 (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. All financial assets not measured at amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL, irrespective of the business model. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. Financial assets: business model assessment The Group\u2019s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, while financial assets classified and measured at FVOCI are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling. Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL. Financial assets: assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest For the purposes of this assessment, \u2018principal\u2019 is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. \u2018Interest\u2019 is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as profit margin. In assessing whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers: \u2022 contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows; \u2022 terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features; \u2022 prepayment and extension features; and \u2022 terms that limit the Group\u2019s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features). Financial assets: subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial assets at FVTPL
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend
income, are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
amortised cost The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and
impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group\u2019s financial assets at amortised cost include trade receivables.
Debt instruments at These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income, calculated using the effective interest method,
FVOCI foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in profit or loss and computed in the
same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in
OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognised in OCI is recycled to profit or loss.
Financial liabilities: classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (iii) Derecognition Financial assets The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Financial liabilities The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss. (iv) Offsetting Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net position presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Foreign currency transactions (i) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group\u2019s subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (\u2018the functional currency\u2019). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling, which is the ultimate Parent Company\u2019s functional currency. (ii) Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Exchange gains and losses are included within administrative expenses in the income statement. (iii) Group companies The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which have the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: \u2022 assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date; \u2022 income and expenses for each income statement and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and \u2022 all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. Exceptional items and other adjustments Exceptional items and other adjustments are those that in management\u2019s judgement need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature and incidence, in order to draw the attention of the reader and to show the underlying business performance of the Group more accurately. Such items are included within the income statement caption to which they relate and are separately disclosed on the face of the consolidated income statement and in the notes to the consolidated Financial Statements. Adjusted measures The Group uses a number of non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (non-GAAP) financial measures in addition to those reported in accordance with IFRS. The Directors believe that these non-GAAP measures, listed below, are important when assessing the underlying financial and operating performance of the Group by investors and shareholders. These non-GAAP measures comprise of like-for-like revenue growth, adjusted profit after tax, adjusted earnings per share, net cash, Group adjusted operating cash flow, revenue generating capex, total average spend per game, free cash flow, gross profit on costs of good sold, Group adjusted EBITDA and Group adjusted EBITDA margin. A reconciliation between key adjusted and statutory measures, as well as notes on alternative performance measures, is provided in the Chief Financial Officer\u2019s review on pages 40 to 42. This also details the impact of exceptional and other adjusted items when comparing to the non-GAAP financial measures in addition to those reported in accordance with IFRS. Summary of other estimates and judgements The preparation of the consolidated Group Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenditure. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with revisions applied prospectively. Judgements made by the Directors in the application of these accounting policies that have a significant effect on the consolidated Group Financial Statements are discussed below. Key sources of estimation uncertainty There are no estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. Set out below are certain areas of estimation uncertainty in the financial statements. There are also no key judgements other than those related to an area of estimation uncertainty: Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use asset impairment reviews Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be impaired by comparing the carrying value of the assets with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is typically determined based on value-in-use calculations prepared on the basis of management\u2019s assumptions and estimates. The key assumptions in the value-in-use calculations include growth rates of revenue and costs during the five year forecast period, discount rates and the long term growth rate. Following the impairment charge recorded in the year of \u00a35,316,000, the estimation uncertainty associated with the remaining carrying amounts is significantly reduced, and whilst estimation uncertainty remains, this is no longer assessed as being material. As such, reasonably possible changes to the assumptions in the future in four mini-golf and one combined centre would not lead to material adjustments to the carrying values in the next financial year. The remaining carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is \u00a33,156,000 and right-of-use assets is \u00a35,086,000 at these centres. Further information in respect of the Group\u2019s property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets is included in notes 12 and 13 respectively. Contingent consideration Non-current other payables includes contingent consideration in respect of the acquisition of Teaquinn Holdings Inc. in FY2022. The additional consideration to be paid is contingent on the future financial performance of Teaquinn Holdings Inc. in FY2025 or FY2026. This is based on a multiple of 9.2x Teaquinn\u2019s EBITDA pre-IFRS 16 in the financial period of settlement and is capped at CAD 17m. The contingent consideration has been accounted for as post-acquisition employee remuneration and recognised over the duration of the employment contract to FY2026. The key assumptions include a range of possible outcomes for the value of the contingent consideration based on Teaquinn\u2019s forecasted EBITDA pre-IFRS 16 and the year of payment. Further information in respect of the Group\u2019s contingent consideration is included in note 19. Dilapidations provision A provision is made for future expected dilapidation costs on the opening of leasehold properties not covered by the LTA and is expected to be utilised on lease expiry. This also includes properties covered by the LTA where we may not extend the lease, after consideration of the long-term trading and viability of the centre. Properties covered by the LTA provide security of tenure and we intend to occupy these premises indefinitely until the landlord serves notice that the centre is to be redeveloped. As such, no charge for dilapidations can be imposed and no dilapidation provision is considered necessary as the outflow of economic benefit is not considered to be probable. Acquisitions The acquisitions of Lincoln Bowl, Woodlawn Bowl Inc., Lucky 9 Bowling Centre Limited and Stoked Entertainment Centre Limited have been accounted for using the acquisition method under IFRS 3. The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognised at their fair value at date of acquisition. Calculating the fair values of net assets, notably the fair values of intangible assets identified as part of the purchase price allocation, involves estimation and consequently the fair value exercise is recorded as another accounting estimate. The amortisation charge is sensitive to the value of the intangible asset values, so a higher or lower fair value calculation would lead to a change in the amortisation charge in the period following acquisition.

Basis of preparation
The consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, except for fair
value items on acquisition (see note 32).
The Company has elected to prepare its Financial Statements in accordance with FRS 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK and Republic of Ireland. On publishing the Parent Company Financial Statements here together with the Group Financial Statements,
the Company has taken advantage of the exemption in s408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its individual income statement and
statement of comprehensive income and related notes that form a part of these approved Financial Statements.
Judgements made by the Directors, in the application of these accounting policies, that have significant effect on the Financial Statements

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial information incorporates the Financial Statements of the Company and all of its subsidiary undertakings.
The Financial Statements of all Group companies are adjusted, where necessary, to ensure the use of consistent accounting policies.
Acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method from the date control passes to the Group. On acquisition, the assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of
acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill, or a gain on bargain purchase if the fair
values of the identifiable net assets are below the cost of acquisition. Intragroup balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income
and expenses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
The results of Lincoln Bowl, Woodlawn Bowl Inc., Lucky 9 Bowling Centre Limited as well as its associated restaurant and bar, Monkey 9
Brewing Pub Corp and Stoked Entertainment Centre Limited are included from the respective dates of acquisition, being 2 October 2023,
7 November 2023, 11 November 2023 and 24 June 2024.

Earnings per share
The calculation of earnings per ordinary share is based on earnings after tax and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue
during the year.
For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares. The Group has two types of dilutive potential ordinary shares, being those unvested shares granted under the
Long-Term Incentive Plans and Save-As-You-Earn plans.

The expected environmental impact on the business has been modelled. The current available information and assessment did not identify any risks that would require the useful economic life of assets to be reduced in the year or identify the need for impairment that would impact the carrying values of such assets or have any other impact on the financial statements. For many years, Hollywood Bowl Group plc has placed sustainability at the centre of its strategy and has been working on becoming a more sustainable business. A number of actions have been implemented to help mitigate and adapt against climate-related risks. The cost and benefits of such actions are embedded into the cost structure of the business and are included in our five-year plan. This includes the roll-out of Pins on Strings technology, solar panels and the move to 100 per cent renewable energy. The five-year plan has been used to support our impairment reviews and going concern and viability assessment (see viability statement on pages 80). Our TCFD disclosures on pages 64 to 73 include climate-related risks and opportunities based on various scenarios. When considering climate scenario analysis, and modelling severe but plausible downside scenarios, we have used the NGFS \u2018early action\u2019 scenario as the most severe case for climate transition risks, and the IPCC\u2019s SSP5-8.5 as the most severe case for physical climate risk. Whilst these represent situations where climate could have a significant effect on the operations, these do not include our future mitigating actions which we would adopt as part of our strategy. The climate transition plan to net zero outlines that it may not be feasible to completely abate Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2050. In this instance, the Group will offset residual emissions through actions like carbon removals or ecosystem restoration. The assessment with respect to the impact of climate change will be kept under review by management, as the future impacts depend on factors outside of the Group\u2019s control, which are not all currently known.

Going concern
In assessing the going concern position of the Group for the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2024, the
Directors have considered the Group\u2019s cash flow, liquidity, and business activities, as well as the principal risks identified in the Group\u2019s Risk Register.
As at 30 September 2024, the Group had cash balances of \u00a328.7m, no outstanding loan balances and an undrawn RCF of \u00a325m.
The Group has undertaken a review of its liquidity using a base case and a severe but plausible downside scenario.
The base case is the Board approved budget for FY2025 as well as the first three months of FY2026 which forms part of the Board
approved five-year plan. As noted above, the costs and benefits of our actions on climate change are embedded into the cost structure
of the business and included in our five-year plan. Under this scenario there would be positive cash flow, strong profit performance and
all covenants would be passed. It should also be noted that the RCF remains undrawn. Furthermore, it is assumed that the Group adheres
to its capital allocation policy. The most severe downside scenario stress tests for reasonably adverse variations in the economic
environment leading to a deterioration in trading conditions and performance.
Under this severe but plausible downside scenario, the Group has modelled revenues dropping by 3 and 4 per cent from the assumed base case
for FY2025 and FY2026 respectively and inflation continues at an even higher rate than in the base case, specifically around cost of labour in
respect of National Living and Minimum wage as well as increased National Insurance contributions.
The model still assumes that investments into new centres would continue, whilst refurbishments in the early part of FY2025 would be
reduced. These are all mitigating actions that the Group has in its control. Under this scenario, the Group will still be profitable and have
sufficient liquidity within its cash position to not draw down the RCF, with all financial covenants passed.
Taking the above and the principal risks faced by the Group into consideration, the Directors are satisfied that the Group and Company have
adequate resources to continue in operation and meet their liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, a period of at least 12 months
from the date of this report.
Accordingly, the Group and Company continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these Financial Statements.

Revenue
Revenue from customers is the total amount receivable by the Group for goods and services supplied, excluding VAT, other sales taxes
and discounts, and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group\u2019s performance obligations in respect of individual
revenue streams are outlined below.
Revenue arising from bowling and mini-golf is recognised when the customer actually plays, with deposits paid in advance being held on
the balance sheet until that time and then recognised as income.
Revenue for food and drink is recognised when the product has been transferred to the buyer at the point of sale, which is generally when
payment is received.
Revenue for amusements is recognised when the customer plays the amusement machine.
Revenue from installation of bowling equipment contracts is recognised over time using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated
costs at completion to measure progress. Incurred costs represent work performed, which corresponds with and best depicts transfer
of control or the enhancement of the customer\u2019s assets. Contract costs included in the calculation are comprised of materials and
subcontracts\u2019 costs. This is not considered to be material revenue for the Group and is not therefore a significant area of judgement.
Revenue from customers is disaggregated by major product and service lines, being bowling, food and drink, amusements, mini golf,
installation of bowling equipment and other. Disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers is disclosed in note 3 on page 154.
Given the nature of the Group\u2019s revenue streams, recognition of revenue is not considered to be a significant area of judgement.

Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-makers. The chief
operating decision-makers have been identified as the management team including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses.
The Board considers that the Group\u2019s activity constitutes two operating and two reporting segments, being the provision of ten-pin bowling
and mini-golf centres in the United Kingdom and the provision of ten-pin bowling and mini-golf centres and the installation of bowling equipment
in Canada, as defined under IFRS 8. Management reviews the performance of the Group by reference to total results against budget.
The total profit measures are operating profit and profit after tax for the period, both disclosed on the face of the consolidated income
statement and statement of comprehensive income. No differences exist between the basis of preparation of the performance measures
used by management and the figures in the Group\u2019s financial information, as adjusted where appropriate.

Employee benefits
(i) Short-term benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated
services are rendered by employees of the Group.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of
the Group. The annual contributions payable are charged to the income statement. The Group also contributes to the personal pension
plans of the Directors.
(iii) Share-based payments
The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment plans for its employees, under which the employees are granted equity
instruments of Hollywood Bowl Group plc. The fair value of services received in exchange for the equity instruments is determined by
reference to the fair value of the instruments granted at grant date. The fair value of the instruments includes any market performance
conditions and non-vesting conditions. The expense is recognised over the vesting period of the award taking into account any non-market
performance and service conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the
performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award.
(iv) Save-As-You-Earn plans
The Group operates two equity-settled SAYE plans. The fair value is calculated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
The resulting cost is charged to the Group income statement over the vesting period. The value of the charge is adjusted to reflect
expected and actual levels of vesting.

Leases
The Group as lessee
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 from the date at which the leased asset becomes
available for use by the Group, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value
assets. 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.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement
of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, less any lease incentives received.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The lease term is the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has the right to use an underlying asset plus periods covered by an extension
option if an extension is reasonably certain. The majority of property leases are covered by the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (LTA) which gives
the right to extend the lease beyond the termination date. The Group expects to extend the property leases covered by the LTA. This extension
period is not included within the lease term as a termination date cannot be determined as the Group is not reasonably certain to extend the
lease given the contractual rights of the landlord under certain circumstances.
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed
payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable and variable lease payments that depend on an index
or a rate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which the event or
condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because
the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to
reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.
In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term or a change in the lease
payments (e.g. changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments).
The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as
described in the \u2018impairment\u2019 policy.
As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated
non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Group has not used this practical expedient. For contracts that contain a lease component
and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component
on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e. those leases that
have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of
low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term
leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to
settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting
period, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
Dilapidation provision
A provision will be recorded if, as lessee, the Group has a commitment to make good the property at the end of the lease, which would be for
the cost of returning the leased property to its original state. Changes to the dilapidation provision are recorded in property, plant and equipment.

Property, plant and equipment
Freehold land and building assets were included at fair value on the acquisition of Teaquinn in FY2022. Subsequent additions are recorded
at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. Freehold land is not depreciated.
All other property, plant and equipment is stated at historic cost, including expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquired item, less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of all property, plant and equipment evenly over their expected useful lives, calculated at the

the related assets remain the property of the landlord. Refurbishment costs are included within plant and machinery and fixtures, fittings and

Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary undertaking is the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair

Impairment
(i) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) on financial assets measured at amortised cost. The financial assets
comprises trade and other receivables. These are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL as these relate to trade and other
receivables and a simplified approach can be adopted. The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual
period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk. There is limited exposure to ECLs due to the business model.
ECLs are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the
difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).
ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery.
This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have the assets or sources of income that could generate
sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to
enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group\u2019s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
(ii) Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period for impairment. Impairment is
measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts.
The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets\u2019 fair value less costs to sell and their value-in-use, which is measured by
reference to discounted future cash flows. These assets are grouped together into Cash Generating Units to assess impairment. A sensitivity
analysis is also performed (see note 14). An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement immediately.
In respect of assets other than goodwill, and when there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a
subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the
extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss
been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income statement immediately.

Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(i) Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised
when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). A financial liability is classified as measured at either amortised cost or FVTPL.
(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing
financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change
in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
\u2022 it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
\u2022 its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are \u2018solely payments of principal and interest\u2019 (SPPI) on the principal
amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.
All financial assets not measured at amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL, irrespective of the business model. On initial
recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised
cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets: business model assessment
The Group\u2019s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows.
The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in
order to collect contractual cash flows, while financial assets classified and measured at FVOCI are held within a business model with the
objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets: assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest
For the purposes of this assessment, \u2018principal\u2019 is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. \u2018Interest\u2019 is defined as
consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period
of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as profit margin.
In assessing whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the
instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of
contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:
\u2022 contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
\u2022 terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features;
\u2022 prepayment and extension features; and
\u2022 terms that limit the Group\u2019s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
Financial assets: subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial assets at FVTPL
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend
income, are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
amortised cost The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and
impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group\u2019s financial assets at amortised cost include trade receivables.
Debt instruments at These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income, calculated using the effective interest method,
FVOCI foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in profit or loss and computed in the
same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in
OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognised in OCI is recycled to profit or loss.
Financial liabilities: classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (iii) Derecognition Financial assets The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Financial liabilities The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.

Summary of other estimates and judgements
The preparation of the consolidated Group Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in
applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenditure. Actual results may
differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with revisions applied prospectively.
Judgements made by the Directors in the application of these accounting policies that have a significant effect on the consolidated Group
Financial Statements are discussed below.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
There are no estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next
financial year. Set out below are certain areas of estimation uncertainty in the financial statements. There are also no key judgements other
than those related to an area of estimation uncertainty:
Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use asset impairment reviews
Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be
impaired by comparing the carrying value of the assets with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is
typically determined based on value-in-use calculations prepared on the basis of management\u2019s assumptions and estimates.
The key assumptions in the value-in-use calculations include growth rates of revenue and costs during the five year forecast period, discount
rates and the long term growth rate. Following the impairment charge recorded in the year of \u00a35,316,000, the estimation uncertainty
associated with the remaining carrying amounts is significantly reduced, and whilst estimation uncertainty remains, this is no longer assessed
as being material. As such, reasonably possible changes to the assumptions in the future in four mini-golf and one combined centre would
not lead to material adjustments to the carrying values in the next financial year. The remaining carrying amount of property, plant and
equipment is \u00a33,156,000 and right-of-use assets is \u00a35,086,000 at these centres. Further information in respect of the Group\u2019s property, plant
and equipment and right-of-use assets is included in notes 12 and 13 respectively.
Contingent consideration
Non-current other payables includes contingent consideration in respect of the acquisition of Teaquinn Holdings Inc. in FY2022. The
additional consideration to be paid is contingent on the future financial performance of Teaquinn Holdings Inc. in FY2025 or FY2026. This is
based on a multiple of 9.2x Teaquinn\u2019s EBITDA pre-IFRS 16 in the financial period of settlement and is capped at CAD 17m. The contingent
consideration has been accounted for as post-acquisition employee remuneration and recognised over the duration of the employment
contract to FY2026. The key assumptions include a range of possible outcomes for the value of the contingent consideration based on
Teaquinn\u2019s forecasted EBITDA pre-IFRS 16 and the year of payment. Further information in respect of the Group\u2019s contingent consideration
is included in note 19.
Dilapidations provision
A provision is made for future expected dilapidation costs on the opening of leasehold properties not covered by the LTA and is expected
to be utilised on lease expiry. This also includes properties covered by the LTA where we may not extend the lease, after consideration of
the long-term trading and viability of the centre. Properties covered by the LTA provide security of tenure and we intend to occupy these
premises indefinitely until the landlord serves notice that the centre is to be redeveloped. As such, no charge for dilapidations can be
imposed and no dilapidation provision is considered necessary as the outflow of economic benefit is not considered to be probable.
Acquisitions
The acquisitions of Lincoln Bowl, Woodlawn Bowl Inc., Lucky 9 Bowling Centre Limited and Stoked Entertainment Centre Limited have been
accounted for using the acquisition method under IFRS 3. The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognised at their
fair value at date of acquisition. Calculating the fair values of net assets, notably the fair values of intangible assets identified as part of the
purchase price allocation, involves estimation and consequently the fair value exercise is recorded as another accounting estimate. The
amortisation charge is sensitive to the value of the intangible asset values, so a higher or lower fair value calculation would lead to a change
in the amortisation charge in the period following acquisition.

3. Segmental reporting
Management consider that the Group consists of two operating segments, as it operates within the UK and Canada. No single customer
provides more than ten per cent of the Group\u2019s revenue. Within these two operating segments there are multiple revenue streams which
consist of the following:

4. Reconciliation of operating profit to Group adjusted EBITDA
Group adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) reflects the underlying trade of the overall business.
It is calculated as operating profit plus depreciation, amortisation, impairment losses, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment,
right-of-use assets and software and exceptional items.
Management use Group adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of the business and it is considered by management to be a
measure investors look at to reflect the underlying business.

1 During FY2022, HMRC conducted a review of its policy position on the reduced rate of VAT for leisure and hospitality and the extent to which it applies to bowling. Following its
review, HMRC accepts that leisure bowling should fall within the scope of the temporary reduced rate of VAT for leisure and hospitality, as a similar activity to those listed in Group
16 of Schedule 7A of the VAT Act 1994. As a result, the Group made a retrospective claim for overpaid output VAT for the period 15 July 2020 to 30 September 2021 relating to
package sales totalling \u00a3193,000 during FY2023, included within bowling revenue.
In addition, a rebate of \u00a360,000 overpaid VAT on gaming machines for the period 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2005 was received in FY2023.
2 FY2024 relates to expenses associated with the closure of our Surrey Quays centre. FY2023 expenses were associated with the VAT rebate, relating to additional profit share
due to landlords, which are included within administrative expenses.

11. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of Hollywood Bowl Group plc by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion
of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. During the years ended 30 September 2024 and 30 September 2023, the Group had potentially
dilutive ordinary shares in the form of unvested shares pursuant to LTIPs and SAYE schemes (note 28).

1 During the year, management reviewed the classification of long leasehold property. Subsequently, the long leasehold property previously classified as property, plant and
equipment has been reclassified as right-of-use assets (see note 13).
Short leasehold property includes \u00a37,721,000 (30 September 2023: \u00a3845,000) of assets in the course of construction, relating to the
development of new centres.
Impairment
Impairment testing is carried out at the CGU level on an annual basis at the balance sheet date, or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash
inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Each individual centre is considered to be a CGU.
An initial impairment test was performed on all eighty five centres assessing for indicators of impairment. A detailed impairment test based
on a base case was then performed on twelve centres, where the excess of value-in-use over the carrying value calculation was sensitive to
changes in the key assumptions.
Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets for twelve centres have been tested for impairment by comparing the carrying value
of each CGU with its recoverable amount determined from value-in-use calculations using cash flow projections based on financial budgets
approved by the Board covering a five-year period.
The key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations are revenue growth, cost inflation during the five year forecast period, the long
term growth rate and discount rate assumptions. The key risks to those assumptions are the potential adverse variations in the economic
environment leading to a deterioration in trading conditions and performance during FY2025 and FY2026. Cash flows beyond this two-year
period are included in the Board-approved five-year plan and assume a recovery in the economy and the performance of our centres. The
other assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations were:
2024
2023
Revenue growth rate (within five years) - UK & Canada
3.0%
3.5%
Cost inflation (within five years) - UK
3.2%
3.1%
Cost inflation (within five years) - Canada
3.7%
\u2014
Discount rate (pre-tax) - UK
12.4%
12.7%
Discount rate (pre-tax) - Canada
10.6%
\u2014
Growth rate (beyond five years) - UK and Canada
2.5%
2.5%
Discount rates reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the industry. This is the benchmark
used by management to assess operating performance and to evaluate future capital investment proposals. These discount rates are
derived from the weighted average cost of capital for the UK and Canada. Changes in the discount rates over the years are calculated with
reference to latest market assumptions for the risk-free rate, equity risk premium and the cost of debt.
Detailed impairment testing, due to the financial performance of certain centres, resulted in the recognition of an impairment charge in the
year of \u00a32,808,000 (FY2023: \u00a31,633,000) against property, plant and equipment assets and \u00a32,508,000 (FY2023: \u00a31,277,000) against
right-of-use assets for four (FY2023: three) mini-golf centres and one combined centre (FY2023: none) (note 13), which form part of the UK
operating segment. The impairment charge in the prior year was reduced by the reversal of an impairment charge of \u00a3241,000 against
property, plant and equipment assets and \u00a3459,000 against right-of-use assets for one combined centre. Following the recognition of the
impairment charge, the carrying value of property, plant and equipment is \u00a33,156,000 (30 September 2023: \u00a36,487,000) and right-of-use
assets is \u00a35,086,000 (30 September 2023: \u00a38,125,000) for these four (FY2023: three) UK mini-golf centres and one combined centre
(FY2023: none) (note 13).
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
The estimate of the recoverable amounts for seven centres affords reasonable headroom over the carrying value of the property, plant and
equipment and right-of-use asset, and an impairment charge of \u00a35,316,000 (30 September 2023: \u00a32,910,000) for five centres under the
base case. Management have sensitised the key assumptions in the impairment tests of these twelve centres under the base case.
A reduction in revenue of three and four percentage points down on the base case for FY2025 and FY2026 respectively and a one
percentage point increase in operating costs on the base case for FY2025 and FY2026 to reflect higher inflation, would not cause the
carrying value to exceed its recoverable amount for seven centres, which include both bowling and mini-golf centres. Therefore,
management believe that any reasonable possible changes in the key assumptions would not result in an impairment charge for these seven
centres. However, a further impairment of \u00a3515,000 would arise under this sensitised case in relation to three centres where we have already
recognised an impairment charge in the year.

13. Leases
Group as a lessee
The Group has lease contracts for property and amusement machines used in its operations. The Group\u2019s obligations under its leases are
secured by the lessor\u2019s title to the leased assets. The Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets. There are eight
(FY2023: nine) lease contracts that include variable lease payments in the form of revenue-based rent top-ups. The Group also has certain
leases of equipment with lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of office equipment with low value. The Group applies the \u2018short-term
lease\u2019 and \u2018lease of low-value assets\u2019 recognition exemptions for these leases.

1 In FY2024, \u00a3153,000 (FY2023: \u00a3179,000) of rent payments were part of the working capital movements in the year.
The maturity analysis of the future undiscounted payments due under the above lease liabilities is disclosed in note 30.
The following are the amounts recognised in profit or loss:

The Group has contingent lease contracts for eight (FY2023: nine) sites. There is a revenue-based rent top-up on these sites. Variable lease
payments include revenue-based rent top-ups at eight (FY2023: eight) centres totalling \u00a3897,000 (FY2023: \u00a3619,000). It is anticipated that
top-ups totalling \u00a31,374,000 will be payable in the year to 30 September 2025 based on current expectations.
Impairment testing is carried out as outlined in note 12. Detailed impairment testing resulted in the recognition of an impairment charge in the
year of \u00a32,508,000 (FY2023: \u00a31,277,000) against right-of-use assets for four UK mini-golf centres and one combined centre (FY2023: three
UK mini-golf centres). The impairment charge in the prior year was reduced by the reversal of an impairment charge of \u00a3459,000 against
right-of-use assets for one combined centre.

At the acquisition date, goodwill is allocated to each group of CGUs expected to benefit from the combination.
Impairment testing is carried out at the CGU level on an annual basis. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash
inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Each individual centre is considered to be a
CGU. However, for the purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, it is acceptable under IAS 36 to group CGUs, in order to reflect the level
at which goodwill is monitored by management. The UK and Canada are each considered to be a CGU, for the purposes of goodwill
impairment testing. The goodwill acquisition in the year relates to the UK acquisition of Lincoln Bowl, and the three centres acquired in
Canada (note 32). The four centres are each considered a CGU but have been allocated to either the UK or Canada group of CGU for the
purpose of goodwill impairment testing. These CGUs form part of the UK and Canada operating segments respectively.
The recoverable amount of each of the CGUs is determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections based on
financial budgets approved by the Board covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond this period are extrapolated using the estimated
growth rates stated in the key assumptions. The key assumptions are disclosed in note 12.
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
Management believe that any reasonable change in the key assumptions would not result in an impairment charge of the goodwill.
The goodwill on the acquisitions in the year is included in note 32.

Accruals and deferred income includes a staff bonus accrual of \u00a33,950,000 (30 September 2023: \u00a34,955,000). Deferred income includes
\u00a3983,000 (30 September 2023: \u00a3801,000) of customer deposits received in advance and \u00a32,628,000 (30 September 2023: \u00a31,870,000)
relating to bowling equipment installations, all of which will be recognised in the income statement during the following financial year.
Non-current other payables includes \u00a33,928,000 (30 September 2023: \u00a32,359,000) of contingent consideration and \u00a31,759,000
(30 September 2023: \u00a31,862,000) of deferred consideration in respect of the acquisition of Teaquinn Holdings Inc. The additional
consideration to be paid is contingent on the future financial performance of Teaquinn Holdings Inc. in FY2025 or FY2026. This is based on a
multiple of 9.2x Teaquinn\u2019s EBITDA pre-IFRS 16 in the financial period of settlement and is capped at CAD 17m. The contingent consideration
has been accounted for as post-acquisition employee remuneration in accordance with IFRS 3 paragraph B55 and recognised over the
duration of the employment contract to FY2026. The present value of the contingent consideration has been discounted using a WACC of
13 per cent. There is a range of possible outcomes for the value of the contingent consideration based on Teaquinn\u2019s forecasted EBITDA
pre-IFRS 16 and the year of payment. This ranges from a payment (undiscounted) in FY2025 of \u00a36,534,000 (undiscounted) to a payment
in FY2026 of \u00a39,146,000 (undiscounted), using the FY2024 year-end exchange rate. The fair value of the contingent consideration will be
re-assessed at every financial reporting date, with changes recognised in the income statement. In FY2024, this re-assessment resulted in
a reduction in the charge of \u00a3261,000 based on the current expectation of the final consideration payment, which has been recognised in
exceptional administrative expenses.

Loans and borrowings On 29 September 2021, the Group entered into a \u00a325m revolving credit facility (RCF) with Barclays Bank plc. The RCF had an original termination date of 31 December 2024. On 22 March 2024, the RCF had the termination date extended to 31 December 2025. Interest is charged on any drawn balance based on the reference rate (SONIA), plus a margin of 1.65 per cent (30 September 2023: 1.75 per cent). A commitment fee equal to 35 per cent of the drawn margin is payable on the undrawn facility balance. The commitment fee rate as at 30 September 2024 was therefore 0.5775 per cent (30 September 2023: 0.6125 per cent). Issue costs of \u00a3135,000 were paid to Barclays Bank plc on commencement of the RCF and a further \u00a335,000 on extension of the RCF. These costs are being amortised over the term of the facility and are included within prepayments (note 17). The terms of the Barclays Bank plc facility include a Group financial covenants that each quarter the ratio of total net debt to Group adjusted EBITDA pre-IFRS 16 shall not exceed 1.75:1. The Group operated within the covenant during the year and the previous year. 22. Deferred tax assets and liabilities

1 There was a decrease in the discount rate from 4.64 per cent at 30 September 2023 to 4.11 per cent at 30 September 2024 (FY2023: an increase in the discount rate from
4.40 per cent at 30 September 2022 to 4.64 per cent at 30 September 2023), used in preparing the dilapidations provision for the year ended 30 September 2024. This resulted
in an increase in the provision of \u00a3326,000 (FY2023: a decrease of \u00a367,000), and will unwind over the term of the property leases. Movements in the discount rate are driven by
the yield on UK government bonds with a maturity comparable to the remaining property lease term.
In the UK, a provision is made for future expected dilapidation costs on the opening of leasehold properties not covered by the Landlord and
Tenant Act 1985 (LTA), and is expected to be utilised on lease expiry. This also includes properties covered by the LTA where we may not extend
the lease, after consideration of the long-term trading and viability of the centre. The provision in the year relates to one new centre (FY2023: one
new centre). Properties covered by the LTA provide security of tenure and we intend to occupy these premises indefinitely until the landlord
serves notice that the centre is to be redeveloped. As such, no charge for dilapidations can be imposed and no dilapidation provision is
considered necessary as the outflow of economic benefit on these centres is not considered to be probable. As at 30 September 2024, 24 UK
centres (30 September 2023: 23 centres) had a dilapidations provision. No Canadian property leases have a dilapidations provision as the lease
agreements do not contain a related dilapidation clause.
It is not anticipated that the provision will be utilised within the next 12 months as there are no sites currently earmarked for closure that
have a dilapidations provision.

21. Loans and borrowings
On 29 September 2021, the Group entered into a \u00a325m revolving credit facility (RCF) with Barclays Bank plc. The RCF had an original
termination date of 31 December 2024. On 22 March 2024, the RCF had the termination date extended to 31 December 2025.
Interest is charged on any drawn balance based on the reference rate (SONIA), plus a margin of 1.65 per cent (30 September 2023: 1.75 per cent).
A commitment fee equal to 35 per cent of the drawn margin is payable on the undrawn facility balance. The commitment fee rate as at
30 September 2024 was therefore 0.5775 per cent (30 September 2023: 0.6125 per cent).
Issue costs of \u00a3135,000 were paid to Barclays Bank plc on commencement of the RCF and a further \u00a335,000 on extension of the RCF.
These costs are being amortised over the term of the facility and are included within prepayments (note 17).
The terms of the Barclays Bank plc facility include a Group financial covenants that each quarter the ratio of total net debt to Group adjusted
EBITDA pre-IFRS 16 shall not exceed 1.75:1.
The Group operated within the covenant during the year and the previous year.
29. Financial instruments
Fair value hierarchy
IFRS 7 requires fair value measurements to be recognised using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in the
value measurements:
Level 1: inputs are quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2: a valuation that uses observable inputs for the asset or liability other than quoted prices in active markets.
Level 3: a valuation using unobservable inputs (i.e. a valuation technique).
There were no transfers between levels throughout the periods under review.
Fair value
All financial assets held at the balance sheet date, which comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents, are classified
as financial assets held at amortised cost. All financial liabilities, which comprise trade and other payables and borrowings, are classified as
financial liabilities held at amortised cost. The following table shows the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities within the Group
at the balance sheet date. The fair value of all financial assets and liabilities are categorised as Level 2.

28. Share-based payments
Long-term employee incentive costs
The Group operates LTIPs for certain key management. In accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based payment, the values of the awards are
measured at fair value at the date of grant. The exercise price of the LTIPs is equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date
of grant. The fair value is determined based on the exercise price and number of shares granted, and is written off on a straight-line basis
over the vesting period, based on management\u2019s estimate of the number of shares that will eventually vest.
A summary of the movement in the LTIPs is outlined below:

In accordance with the LTIP schemes outlined in the Group\u2019s Remuneration Policy, the vesting of these awards is conditional upon the achievement
of an EPS target set at the time of grant, measured at the end of a three-year period ending 30 September 2024, 30 September 2025 and
30 September 2026, and the Executive Directors\u2019 continued employment at the date of vesting. The LTIP 2022, 2023 and 2024 also have
performance targets based on return on centre invested capital, emissions ratio for Scope 1 and Scope 2 and team member development.
Further details on LTIP 2022, 2023 and 2024 are available on the Hollywood Bowl Group corporate website at www.hollywoodbowlgroup.

During the year ended 30 September 2024, 631,092 (30 September 2023: 627,678) share awards were granted under the LTIP. For all LTIPs,
the Group recognised a charge of \u00a31,749,237 (30 September 2023: \u00a31,218,431) and related employer National Insurance of \u00a3241,395

During the year ended 30 September 2024, 499,254 (30 September 2023: 641,567) share awards were exercised under LTIP 2021 (30
September 2023: LTIP 2018 and 2020) and a total of 499,254 shares were issued pursuant to an existing block listing in order to satisfy
the exercise of the nil-cost options (see note 23).

Save-As-You-Earn (SAYE) schemes
The Group currently operates three SAYE schemes, available to all employees of the Group. The SAYE schemes permit the grant to
employees of options in respect of ordinary shares linked to a bank SAYE contract for a term of three years with contributions from employees
of an amount between \u00a35 and \u00a3500 per month. During the year, a new SAYE scheme (SAYE 2024) was launched with 109 employees taking
up 100,887 options with an exercise date of 1 February 2027 and an exercise price of \u00a32.85, being equal to the market price of the shares on
the date of grant. In the prior year, 133 employees took up 186,764 options with an exercise date of 1 February 2026 and an exercise price of
\u00a32.43. The options vest if the employee remains in employment by the Group on the exercise date; otherwise, the options lapse on the date the
employee leaves. The options are exercisable for a period of six months from the date of vesting. Employees can opt to leave the SAYE at any
time, at which point their options will lapse.
The shares are dilutive for the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.
In accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based payment, the values of the awards are measured at fair value at the date of the grant. The fair value is
expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on management\u2019s estimate of the number of shares that will eventually vest.
The fair value at grant date is estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the
options were granted. The contractual life of each option granted is three years. The fair value of options granted during the years ended
30 September 2024, 30 September 2023 and 30 September 2022 was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

The assessed fair value of the options granted during the year ended 30 September 2024 was \u00a30.62 (30 September 2023: \u00a30.54).
For the year ended 30 September 2024, the Group has recognised \u00a332,579 of share-based payment charge in the income statement
(30 September 2023: credit of \u00a313,989).
During the year none of the SAYE schemes became exercisable and 456 ordinary shares of \u00a30.01 each were issued under the SAYE 2020
at an exercise price of \u00a32.845. During the prior year, the SAYE 2020 scheme became exercisable and no options were exercised.
The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at 30 September 2024 was 557 days (30 September 2023:

Financial risk management The Group\u2019s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (fair value interest rate and price risk). Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. In order to minimise this risk the Group endeavours to deal only with companies which are demonstrably creditworthy. In addition, a significant proportion of revenue results from cash transactions. The aggregate financial exposure is continuously monitored. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the value of the outstanding amount of trade receivables. Management does not consider that there is any concentration of risk within either trade or other receivables. The Group held cash and cash equivalents with banks which are rated AA- to AA+ of \u00a326,785,000 at 30 September 2024 (30 September 2023: \u00a350,520,000). The Group considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties. Trade receivables have not been impaired as any ECL is deemed to be insignificant. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group\u2019s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as is possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group\u2019s reputation. Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk The Group\u2019s borrowings are variable rate bank loans. As at 30 September 2024, \u00a3nil (30 September 2023: \u00a3nil) of the available facility has been drawn down. The Directors monitor the Group\u2019s funding requirements and external debt markets to ensure that the Group\u2019s borrowings are appropriate to its requirements in terms of quantum, rate and duration. The Group currently holds cash balances to provide funding for normal trading activity. The Group also has access to both short-term and long-term borrowings to finance individual projects.

Capital risk management
The Group\u2019s capital management objectives are:
(i) to ensure the Group\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for
other stakeholders; and
(ii) to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurate with the level of risk.
To meet these objectives, the Group reviews the budgets and forecasts on a regular basis to ensure there is sufficient capital to meet the
needs of the Group through to profitability and positive cash flow.
The capital structure of the Group consists of shareholders\u2019 equity as set out in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. All working
capital requirements are financed from existing cash resources and borrowings.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, will affect the Group\u2019s
income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk
exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk.
Foreign currency risk
Operating across two territories increases the Group\u2019s exposure to currency risk. Wherever possible, overseas operations will fund their day
to day working capital requirements in local currency with cash generated from operations, naturally hedging the currency risk exposure to
the Group. Management will continually monitor the level of currency risk exposure, and consider hedging where appropriate. Currently the
Group considers the currency risk on consolidation of the assets and liabilities of its foreign entities to be of low materiality.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest
rates. The Group\u2019s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group\u2019s long-term debt obligations with
floating interest rates.
The Group manages its interest rate risk by entering into interest rate derivatives when it is considered appropriate to do so by management.
At 30 September 2024 and 30 September 2023, none of the Group\u2019s borrowings were at fixed rates of interest.
The effect on the profit after tax of a notional one per cent increase or decrease in SONIA is \u00a3nil (30 September 2023: \u00a3nil).

Acquisition related costs of \u00a3921,000 are not included as part of the consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense in
the consolidated income statement within administrative expenses.
The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired includes \u00a3306,000 in relation to customer relationships. The customer
relationships have been valued using the multi-period excess earnings method.
The fair value of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were measured as the present value of the remaining lease payments, in accordance
with IFRS 16.
The fair value and gross contractual amounts receivable of trade and other receivables acquired as part of the business combination
amounted to \u00a3162,000. At the acquisition date the Group\u2019s best estimate of the contractual cash flows expected not to be collected
amounted to \u00a3nil.
Goodwill amounting to \u00a310,668,000 was recognised on acquisition (note 14). The goodwill relates to the locations of the bowling centres
acquired, the expected commercial opportunities of an enhanced leisure offering in an underserved market and the expected synergies
from combining the four centres into the Hollywood Bowl Group.
In the period since acquisition to 30 September 2024, the Group recognised \u00a36,967,000 of revenue and \u00a31,503,000 of profit before tax in
relation to the acquired businesses. Had the acquisitions occurred on 1 October 2023, the contribution to the Group\u2019s revenue would have
been \u00a311,513,000 and the contribution to the Group\u2019s profit before tax for the period would have been \u00a32,478,000.
