"value": "2.1 Basis of preparation These Group financial statements were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under those standards. All amounts are presented to the nearest \u00a30.1m, unless otherwise indicated. The Group financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments and pension assets that have been measured at fair value.The statutory accounting period is the 52 weeks from 30 March 2025 to 28 March 2026 and comparative results are for the 52 weeks from 31 March 2024 to 29 March 2025. All references to the \u2018period\u2019, unless otherwise stated, are for the 52 weeks ended 28 March 2026 and the comparative period, 52 weeks ended 29 March 2025.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with UK-adopted international accounting standards requires the use of certain material accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are material to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 3.The following standards and amendments to published standards, effective for periods on or after 1 January 2025, have been endorsed:International Financial Reporting StandardsAmendments to IAS 21 Lack of ExchangeabilityThe following standards and amendments to published standards, effective for periods on or after 1 January 2026, have been endorsed:International Financial Reporting StandardsAmendments to IFRS 9 and 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial InstrumentsThe Group has considered the new or revised standards above and concluded that either they are not relevant to the Group or would not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group.Revisions to IFRS not applicable in 2026At the date of authorisation of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Standards that have been issued but not yet effective: IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements The IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial statements that replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.The standard brings in revised rules on how income and expenses must be presented, requiring companies to classify these items into defined categories within the Income Statement. It also introduces a mandated operating profit subtotal, additional disclosures for management-defined performance metrics, and stricter expectations around how information is aggregated and broken down. Updates have also been made to the Statement of Cash Flows, including the requirement to use operating profit as the starting point when applying the indirect method. The Group does not plan to adopt IFRS 18 ahead of its effective date and is assessing how the new requirements will affect its financial statement presentation and disclosures. Based on the review completed so far, the Group\u2019s initial view is that IFRS 18 will have minimal impact.Basis for preparation of financial statements on a going concern basisThe Group\u2019s revolving credit facility includes net debt / EBITDA and EBITDA / interest covenants as detailed in note 19. In the event these covenants are not met then the Group would be in breach of its financing agreement and, as would be the case in any covenant breach, the banking syndicate could withdraw funding to the Group. The Group was compliant with its covenant tests as at 27 September 2025 and 28 March 2026. Having undertaken a robust assessment of the Group\u2019s forecasts with specific consideration to the trading performance of the Group, cashflows and covenant compliance, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group is able to operate within the level of its current facilities, meet the required covenant tests and has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Determining the appropriate assessment period is a matter of judgement for the directors and 12 months from the approval of these financial statements is considered appropriate given the fast-moving nature of the business. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial information for the reasons set out below.At 28 March 2026 the Group had total assets less current liabilities of \u00a31,591.9m (2025: \u00a31,981.4m), net current liabilities of \u00a3157.9m (2025: net current assets \u00a3137.8m) and net assets of \u00a31,410.1m (2025: \u00a31,442.0m). The movement from net current assets in 2025 to net current liabilities in 2026 reflects the October 2026 \u00a3330m bond repayment falling within the current liability period. Liquidity at 28 March 2026 was \u00a3536.6m, made up of cash and cash equivalents and overdrafts, and undrawn committed credit facilities of \u00a3282.5m expiring in July 2029. The Group has a \u00a3275m bridge facility that expires November 2027 subject to being drawn by October 2026. In May 2026, the Group announced it had amended and extended the revolving credit facility (\u2018RCF\u2019) agreement for a period of five years with the option of extending for up to two additional years. This amended senior unsecured RCF is a committed facility of \u00a3367.5m with an interest margin grid broadly in line with the previous RCF, undrawn elements of the RCF will continue to attract interest equivalents to 35% of the applicable margin.At the time of the approval of this report, the cash and liquidity position of the group has not changed significantly. Further details of the financing arrangements are included in note 19. The directors have rigorously reviewed all key risk assumptions in their Going Concern assessment considering both internal and external factors. Applying judgement, climate change, risk of cyber-attack, the retail market and a total loss at site scenario are the assumptions modelled by the directors in the severe but plausible downside case impacting future financial performance, cash flows and covenant compliance, that cover a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The downside case is deemed severe but plausible, having an adverse impact on revenue, margin and cash flow. Should circumstances mean there is further downside, whilst not deemed plausible, the directors, in response have identified mitigating actions within their control, that would reduce costs, optimising cashflow and liquidity. Amongst these are the following actions: reducing capital expenditure, reducing marketing spend and delaying or cancelling discretionary spend. The directors have assumed no significant structural changes to the business will be needed in any of the assumptions modelled. None of the assumptions modelled are sufficiently material to prevent the Group from continuing as a going concern. The Directors, after reviewing financial forecasts and financing arrangements, have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of this report. Accordingly, the Directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis (in accordance with the guidance \u2018Guidance on the Going Concern Basis of Accounting and Related Reporting\u2019 issued by the FRC) in preparing its consolidated financial information.Climate changeThe Group has considered the impact of both physical and transitional climate change risks on the financial statements of the Group, the Group does not consider there to be a material impact on the valuation of the Group\u2019s assets or liabilities, including useful economic life of property, plant and equipment, or on any material accounting estimates or judgements. The Group will continue to monitor the impact on valuations of assets and liabilities as government policy evolves and our modelling in this area moves forward.The impact of climate change has been considered in the projected cash flows used for impairment testing where the material risks identified in the \u2018TCFD\u2019 statement, see page 50, have been modelled in the severe but plausible scenario for going concern and viability. See note 11 for further details.",

The Group financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments and pension assets that have been measured at fair value.The statutory accounting period is the 52 weeks from 30 March 2025 to 28 March 2026 and comparative results are for the 52 weeks from 31 March 2024 to 29 March 2025. All references to the \u2018period\u2019, unless otherwise stated, are for the 52 weeks ended 28 March 2026 and the comparative period, 52 weeks ended 29 March 2025.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with UK-adopted international accounting standards requires the use of certain material accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group\u2019s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are material to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 3.The following standards and amendments to published standards, effective for periods on or after 1 January 2025, have been endorsed:International Financial Reporting StandardsAmendments to IAS 21 Lack of ExchangeabilityThe following standards and amendments to published standards, effective for periods on or after 1 January 2026, have been endorsed:International Financial Reporting StandardsAmendments to IFRS 9 and 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial InstrumentsThe Group has considered the new or revised standards above and concluded that either they are not relevant to the Group or would not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group.Revisions to IFRS not applicable in 2026At the date of authorisation of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Standards that have been issued but not yet effective: IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements The IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial statements that replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.The standard brings in revised rules on how income and expenses must be presented, requiring companies to classify these items into defined categories within the Income Statement. It also introduces a mandated operating profit subtotal, additional disclosures for management-defined performance metrics, and stricter expectations around how information is aggregated and broken down. Updates have also been made to the Statement of Cash Flows, including the requirement to use operating profit as the starting point when applying the indirect method. The Group does not plan to adopt IFRS 18 ahead of its effective date and is assessing how the new requirements will affect its financial statement presentation and disclosures. Based on the review completed so far, the Group\u2019s initial view is that IFRS 18 will have minimal impact.Basis for preparation of financial statements on a going concern basisThe Group\u2019s revolving credit facility includes net debt / EBITDA and EBITDA / interest covenants as detailed in note 19. In the event these covenants are not met then the Group would be in breach of its financing agreement and, as would be the case in any covenant breach, the banking syndicate could withdraw funding to the Group. The Group was compliant with its covenant tests as at 27 September 2025 and 28 March 2026. Having undertaken a robust assessment of the Group\u2019s forecasts with specific consideration to the trading performance of the Group, cashflows and covenant compliance, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group is able to operate within the level of its current facilities, meet the required covenant tests and has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Determining the appropriate assessment period is a matter of judgement for the directors and 12 months from the approval of these financial statements is considered appropriate given the fast-moving nature of the business. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial information for the reasons set out below.At 28 March 2026 the Group had total assets less current liabilities of \u00a31,591.9m (2025: \u00a31,981.4m), net current liabilities of \u00a3157.9m (2025: net current assets \u00a3137.8m) and net assets of \u00a31,410.1m (2025: \u00a31,442.0m). The movement from net current assets in 2025 to net current liabilities in 2026 reflects the October 2026 \u00a3330m bond repayment falling within the current liability period. Liquidity at 28 March 2026 was \u00a3536.6m, made up of cash and cash equivalents and overdrafts, and undrawn committed credit facilities of \u00a3282.5m expiring in July 2029. The Group has a \u00a3275m bridge facility that expires November 2027 subject to being drawn by October 2026. In May 2026, the Group announced it had amended and extended the revolving credit facility (\u2018RCF\u2019) agreement for a period of five years with the option of extending for up to two additional years. This amended senior unsecured RCF is a committed facility of \u00a3367.5m with an interest margin grid broadly in line with the previous RCF, undrawn elements of the RCF will continue to attract interest equivalents to 35% of the applicable margin.At the time of the approval of this report, the cash and liquidity position of the group has not changed significantly. Further details of the financing arrangements are included in note 19. The directors have rigorously reviewed all key risk assumptions in their Going Concern assessment considering both internal and external factors. Applying judgement, climate change, risk of cyber-attack, the retail market and a total loss at site scenario are the assumptions modelled by the directors in the severe but plausible downside case impacting future financial performance, cash flows and covenant compliance, that cover a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The downside case is deemed severe but plausible, having an adverse impact on revenue, margin and cash flow. Should circumstances mean there is further downside, whilst not deemed plausible, the directors, in response have identified mitigating actions within their control, that would reduce costs, optimising cashflow and liquidity. Amongst these are the following actions: reducing capital expenditure, reducing marketing spend and delaying or cancelling discretionary spend. The directors have assumed no significant structural changes to the business will be needed in any of the assumptions modelled. None of the assumptions modelled are sufficiently material to prevent the Group from continuing as a going concern. The Directors, after reviewing financial forecasts and financing arrangements, have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of this report. Accordingly, the Directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis (in accordance with the guidance \u2018Guidance on the Going Concern Basis of Accounting and Related Reporting\u2019 issued by the FRC) in preparing its consolidated financial information.Climate changeThe Group has considered the impact of both physical and transitional climate change risks on the financial statements of the Group, the Group does not consider there to be a material impact on the valuation of the Group\u2019s assets or liabilities, including useful economic life of property, plant and equipment, or on any material accounting estimates or judgements. The Group will continue to monitor the impact on valuations of assets and liabilities as government policy evolves and our modelling in this area moves forward.The impact of climate change has been considered in the projected cash flows used for impairment testing where the material risks identified in the \u2018TCFD\u2019 statement, see page 50, have been modelled in the severe but plausible scenario for going concern and viability. See note 11 for further details.2.2 Basis of consolidation(i) Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Premier Foods plc and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from involvement with an investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.All intra-Group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.2.3 RevenueRevenue comprises the invoiced value for the sale of branded and own label food products net of sales rebates, discounts, value-added tax and other taxes directly attributable to Revenue and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue is recognised when performance obligations are satisfied and the Group transfers control of products over to the customer. Transaction price per case is pre agreed per the price list with any discount related to an individual customer-run promotion agreed in advance. Long-term discounts and rebates are part of a commercial arrangement, and the Group uses actual and forecast sales to estimate the level of discount or rebate. The Group uses the \u2018most likely amount\u2019 method to estimate the value of the variable consideration. Revenue is recognised on the following basis:(i) Commercial incomeCommercial income received from suppliers through rebates and discounts is recognised within cost of sales over the period(s) to which the underlying contract or agreement relates. Accrued income is recognised for rebates on contracts covering the current period, for which no cash was received at the balance sheet date. Deferred income is recognised for rebates that were received from suppliers at the balance sheet date but relate to contracts covering future periods.(ii) Sale of goodsSales of goods are recognised as Revenue when a customer gains control of the goods, which typically coincides with the time when the merchandise is delivered to customers and title passes, or in the case of the Group\u2019s International business, governed by International Commercial Terms.(iii) Sales rebates and discountsSales-related discounts comprise:\u2022 Long-term discounts and rebates, which are sales incentives to customers to encourage them to purchase increased volumes and arerelated to total volumes purchased and sales growth.\u2022 Short-term promotional discounts, which are directly related to promotions run by customers.Sales rebates and discount accruals are treated as a reduction in the transaction price and are established at the time of sale based on management\u2019s best estimate of the amounts necessary to meet claims by the Group\u2019s customers in respect of these rebates and discounts and are reviewed for appropriateness at each reporting date. Accruals are made for each individual promotion or rebate arrangement and are based on the type and length of promotion and nature of customer agreement. At the time an accrual is made the nature and timing of the promotion is typically known. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for rebates and discounts, and Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a material reversal will not occur. As there is no right to enforce net settlement, the accruals are presented gross.2.4 Segmental reportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (\u2018CODM\u2019). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. See note 4 for further details.2.1 ",

Assets that are subject to amortisation are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where an indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount is estimated based on the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell.The Group reviews its identified CGUs for the purposes of testing goodwill on an annual basis, taking into consideration whether assets generate independent cash inflows. The recoverable amounts of CGUs are determined based on the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates.Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they occur.For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or groups of assets.",

For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. Assets that are subject to amortisation are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where an indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount is estimated based on the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell.The Group reviews its identified CGUs for the purposes of testing goodwill on an annual basis, taking into consideration whether assets generate independent cash inflows. The recoverable amounts of CGUs are determined based on the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates.Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they occur.For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or groups of assets.",

"value": "2.12 LeasesLease recognition At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For leases of properties in which the Group is a lessee, it has applied the practical expedient permitted by IFRS 16 and will account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component. Right of use assets The Group recognises right of use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right of use assets are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. Right of use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset\u2019s useful life or the lease term on a straight-line basis. Right of use assets are subject to, and reviewed regularly for, impairment. Depreciation on right of use assets is predominantly recognised in cost of sales and administration costs in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed and variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate less any lease incentives receivable. Any variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. After the commencement date, the lease liability is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is re-measured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term or a change in the fixed lease payments. Interest charges are included in finance costs in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and included in finance costs paid within cash flows from operating activities. Payments for the principal element of lease liabilities are presented within cash flows from financing activities.Short-term leases and leases of low-value items The Group has elected not to recognise right of use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery and equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments relating to short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.",

"value": "2.15 Employee benefitsGroup companies provide a number of long-term employee benefit arrangements, primarily through pension schemes. The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution schemes. Defined benefit planA defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan that defines the amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability or surplus recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for remeasurement and past service costs. Defined benefit obligations are calculated using assumptions determined by the Group with the assistance of independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using yields of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.Remeasurement arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to OCI in the period in which they arise.Past service costs, administration costs, and the net pensions finance income on the net defined benefit liability or surplus are recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss.Curtailments are recognised as a past service cost when the Group makes a significant reduction in the number of employees covered by a plan or amends the terms of a defined benefit plan so that a significant element of future service by current employees no longer qualifies for amended benefits.Plan assets of the defined benefit schemes include a number of assets for which quoted prices are not available. At each reporting date, the Group determines the fair value of these assets with reference to most recently available information. The trustees of the schemes have integrated climate change considerations into their long-term decision making and reporting processes. See note 13 for further details. To the extent a surplus arises under IAS 19, the Group ensures that it can recognise the associated asset in line with IFRIC 14 with no restrictions. There are no restrictions on the current realisability of the surplus.Defined contribution plansA defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Differences between contributions payable in the period and contributions actually paid are recognised as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet.3.1 Employee benefitsThe present value of the Group\u2019s defined benefit pension obligations depends on a number of actuarial assumptions. The primary assumptions used include the discount rate applicable to scheme liabilities, the long-term rate of inflation and estimates of the mortality applicable to scheme members. Each of the underlying assumptions is set out in more detail in note 13.At each reporting date, and on a continuous basis, the Group reviews the macro-economic, Company and scheme-specific factors influencing each of these assumptions, using professional advice, in order to record the Group\u2019s ongoing commitment and obligation to defined benefit schemes in accordance with IAS 19 (Revised). Plan assets of the defined benefit schemes include a number of assets for which quoted prices are not available. At each reporting date, the Group determines the fair value of these assets with reference to most recently available asset statements from fund managers. Where pensions asset valuations were not available at the reporting date, as is usual practice, valuations at 31 December 2025 are rolled forward for cash movements to the end of March 2026 to estimate the valuations for these assets. This approach is principally relevant for Private equity, Property assets, Illiquid credits and Global credits. Management have reviewed the individual investments, disclosed the value asset where a lagged valuation is reported with a sensitivity and making clear that these valuations are subject to estimation uncertainty.",

The value of the charge is adjusted to reflect expected and actual levels of options vesting. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the share awards / options granted, adjusted where required for the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, adjusted EPS targets). Market conditions are included in assumptions about the number of share awards / options that are expected to vest, which is factored into the grant date fair value for awards with these conditions attached. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of share awards / options that are expected to vest (for those with non-market conditions) and recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.",

The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, are measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Goodwill is recognised on acquisition in relation to excess of purchase price consideration over identifiable net assets acquired.3.4 Estimated values of acquired intangible assets on acquisitionsDuring the year, the Group completed the acquisition of Merchant Gourmet Limited. Acquired brands that are controlled through custody or legal rights and that could be sold separately from the rest of the business are capitalised, where fair value can be reliably measured. On acquisition, an intangible asset relating to the brand is recognised as a fair value adjustment to the opening balance sheet. The brand asset is valued using a relief from royalty approach. The key assumptions underpinning the brand asset valuation are the Revenue projections, discount rates and royalty rates.

"value": "3. Material estimates and judgementsThe following are areas of particular significance to the Group\u2019s financial statements and may include the use of estimates. Results may differ from actual amounts.Material accounting estimatesThe following are considered to be the key estimates within the financial statements:3.1 Employee benefitsThe present value of the Group\u2019s defined benefit pension obligations depends on a number of actuarial assumptions. The primary assumptions used include the discount rate applicable to scheme liabilities, the long-term rate of inflation and estimates of the mortality applicable to scheme members. Each of the underlying assumptions is set out in more detail in note 13.At each reporting date, and on a continuous basis, the Group reviews the macro-economic, Company and scheme-specific factors influencing each of these assumptions, using professional advice, in order to record the Group\u2019s ongoing commitment and obligation to defined benefit schemes in accordance with IAS 19 (Revised). Plan assets of the defined benefit schemes include a number of assets for which quoted prices are not available. At each reporting date, the Group determines the fair value of these assets with reference to most recently available asset statements from fund managers. Where pensions asset valuations were not available at the reporting date, as is usual practice, valuations at 31 December 2025 are rolled forward for cash movements to the end of March 2026 to estimate the valuations for these assets. This approach is principally relevant for Private equity, Property assets, Illiquid credits and Global credits. Management have reviewed the individual investments, disclosed the value asset where a lagged valuation is reported with a sensitivity and making clear that these valuations are subject to estimation uncertainty.3.2 Goodwill Impairment reviews in respect of intangible assets are performed when an event indicates that an impairment review is necessary, except in respect of goodwill where an annual impairment assessment is performed in accordance with IAS 36. Examples of such triggering events include a significant planned restructuring, a major change in market conditions or technology, expectations of future operating losses, or a material reduction in cash flows. In performing its impairment analysis, the Group takes into consideration these indicators including the difference between its market capitalisation and net assets.The Group has considered the impact of the assumptions used on the calculations and has conducted sensitivity analysis on the value in use calculations of the CGUs carrying values for the purposes of testing goodwill. See note 11 for further details.3.3 Commercial arrangementsSales rebates and discounts are accrued on each relevant promotion or customer agreement and are charged to the statement of profit or loss at the time of the relevant promotional buy-in as a deduction from Revenue. Accruals for each individual promotion or rebate arrangement are based on the type and length of promotion and nature of customer agreement. At the time an accrual is made, the nature, funding level and timing of the promotion is typically known. Areas of estimation are sales volume / activity, phasing and the amount of product sold on promotion.For short-term promotions, the Group performs a true up of estimates where necessary on a monthly basis, using real-time customer sales information where possible and finally on receipt of a customer claim, which typically follows one to two months after the end of a promotion. For longer-term discounts and rebates the Group uses actual and forecast sales to estimate the level of rebate. These accruals are updated monthly based on latest actual and forecast sales. If the Commercial accruals balance moved by 5.0% in either direction, this would have an impact of \u00a33.2m (2025: \u00a33.6m).3.4 Estimated values of acquired intangible assets on acquisitionsDuring the year, the Group completed the acquisition of Merchant Gourmet Limited.

These are items that management believes require separate disclosure by virtue of their nature and magnitude in order that the users of the financial statements obtain a clear and consistent view of the Group\u2019s underlying Trading performance. In identifying non-trading items, management have applied judgement including whether i) the item is related to underlying Trading of the Group, ii) if the item is nonrecurring and iii) the quantum of the item.",

"value": "4. Segmental analysisIFRS 8 requires operating segments to be determined based on the Group\u2019s internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (\u2018CODM\u2019). The CODM has been determined to be the Executive Leadership Team as it is primarily responsible for the allocation of resources to segments and the assessment of performance of the segments. The Group\u2019s operating segments are defined as \u2018Grocery\u2019, \u2018Sweet Treats\u2019, and \u2018International\u2019. The CODM reviews the performance by operating segment. The Grocery segment primarily sells savoury ambient food products, and the Sweet Treats segment sells primarily sweet ambient food products. The International segment has been aggregated within the Grocery segment for reporting purposes as Revenue is below 10.0% of the Group\u2019s total Revenue and the segment is considered to have similar characteristics to that of Grocery as identified in IFRS 8. There has been no change to the reported segments during the year.The CODM uses Divisional contribution as the key measure of the segments\u2019 results. Divisional contribution is defined as Gross profit after selling, marketing and distribution costs. Divisional contribution is a consistent measure within the Group and reflects the segments\u2019 underlying Trading performance for the period under evaluation. Gross profit is used as part of the Group segment performance reviews, whilst this is material in the context of the financial statements, the Gross profit split between segments is broadly proportionate to that of Divisional contribution. As a result, Gross profit presented by segment would not influence the decisions of the financial statement users.The Group uses Trading profit to review overall Group profitability. Trading profit is defined as Profit before taxation, before Finance costs, Finance income, Amortisation of brand assets, Fair value movements on foreign exchange and other derivative contracts, Net finance income on pensions and administrative expenses, and any non-trading items that require separate disclosure by virtue of their nature in order that users of the financial statements obtain a clear and consistent view of the Group\u2019s underlying Trading performance.Revenues in the period ended 28 March 2026, from the Group\u2019s four principal customers, which individually represent over 10.0% of total Group Revenue, are \u00a3324.1m, \u00a3147.7m, \u00a3143.2m and \u00a3119.2m (2025: \u00a3308.3m, \u00a3155.7m, \u00a3133.3m and \u00a3113.5m). These Revenues relate to both the Grocery and Sweet Treats reportable segments.The segment results for the period ended 28 March 2026, for the period ended 29 March 2025 and the reconciliation of the segment measures to the respective statutory items included in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:52 weeks ended 28 March 2026 52 weeks ended 29 March 2025Grocery Sweet Treats Total Grocery Sweet Treats Total \u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3mExternal revenues 860.4 315.1 1,175.5 850.2 298.8 1,149.0 Divisional contribution 237.3 41.8 279.1 229.4 35.4 264.8 Group and corporate costs (78.7) (77.0)Trading profit 200.4 187.8 Amortisation of brand assets (21.0) (20.5)Fair value movements on foreign exchange (0.1) 0.3 Net finance income on pensions and administrative expenses 28.0 19.8 Non-trading items:\u2013 Restructuring costs\u00b9 (3.4) (1.1)\u2013 Other non-trading items\u00b2 (3.1) (5.2)Operating profit 200.8 181.1 Finance cost (28.5) (28.9)Finance income 9.6 9.1 Profit before taxation 181.9 161.3 1 Restructuring costs in the current period relates to group-wide organisational changes to support the Group\u2019s strategic and operational requirements.

The Grocery segment primarily sells savoury ambient food products, and the Sweet Treats segment sells primarily sweet ambient food products. The International segment has been aggregated within the Grocery segment for reporting purposes as Revenue is below 10.0% of the Group\u2019s total Revenue and the segment is considered to have similar characteristics to that of Grocery as identified in IFRS 8. There has been no change to the reported segments during the year.The CODM uses Divisional contribution as the key measure of the segments\u2019 results. Divisional contribution is defined as Gross profit after selling, marketing and distribution costs. Divisional contribution is a consistent measure within the Group and reflects the segments\u2019 underlying Trading performance for the period under evaluation. Gross profit is used as part of the Group segment performance reviews, whilst this is material in the context of the financial statements, the Gross profit split between segments is broadly proportionate to that of Divisional contribution. As a result, Gross profit presented by segment would not influence the decisions of the financial statement users.The Group uses Trading profit to review overall Group profitability. Trading profit is defined as Profit before taxation, before Finance costs, Finance income, Amortisation of brand assets, Fair value movements on foreign exchange and other derivative contracts, Net finance income on pensions and administrative expenses, and any non-trading items that require separate disclosure by virtue of their nature in order that users of the financial statements obtain a clear and consistent view of the Group\u2019s underlying Trading performance.Revenues in the period ended 28 March 2026, from the Group\u2019s four principal customers, which individually represent over 10.0% of total Group Revenue, are \u00a3324.1m, \u00a3147.7m, \u00a3143.2m and \u00a3119.2m (2025: \u00a3308.3m, \u00a3155.7m, \u00a3133.3m and \u00a3113.5m).

Goodwill As at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mCarrying valueAt 30 March 2025 / At 31 March 2024 702.7 702.7 Acquisition of subsidiary 33.6 \u2013At 28 March 2026 / At 29 March 2025 736.3 702.7 Goodwill is allocated to the Group\u2019s Grocery CGU. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the Grocery CGU level, which is the lowest level at which goodwill is allocated and monitored for internal reporting purposes.Key assumptionsThe key assumptions for calculating value in use are Revenue growth, Divisional contribution margin growth, long-term growth rate and discount rate. Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units. It is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment. Cash flow assumptionsThe cash flows and capital expenditure to maintain these used in the value in use calculation are post-tax cash flows based on the latest Board-approved budget for the first year and the latest Board-approved forecasts in respect of the following four years, which include consideration of the impact on the Group of climate change and actions the Group are taking to reduce carbon emissions. The costs and capital expenditure to meet the Group\u2019s ESG targets, on page 39 are included in cashflows.Two of the key assumptions when forecasting cash flows are Revenue growth and Divisional contribution margin. Revenue growth is forecast based on known or forecast customer sales initiatives, including, to the extent agreed, customer business plans or agreements for the next period, current and forecast new product development, promotional and marketing strategy, and specific category or geographical growth. External factors, including the consumer environment, are also taken into account in the more short-term forecasts. The compound Revenue growth rate over the five-year forecast period is 3.6% (2025: 4.0% five-year compound Revenue growth rate). Divisional contribution margin is forecast based on the projected mix of branded and non-branded sales, raw material input costs, purchasing initiatives, factory performance and efficiency plans and marketing and distribution costs. Management have modelled the going concern severe but plausible scenario which includes climate change, risk of cyber-attack, the retail market and a total loss at site scenario and were within the range of the Group\u2019s existing sensitivities as disclosed within the table below. Please also see viability and going concern analysis on pages 70 to 71 for further detail. The climate scenarios modelled reflect the risks deemed material through the TCFD risk assessment see pages 53 to 57.Long-term growth rate assumptionsFor the purposes of impairment testing, the cash flows are extrapolated into perpetuity using growth assumptions relevant for the business sector. The growth rate applied of 2.0% (2025: 1.53%) takes into account a range of factors which included rates published by HM Treasury, the Bank of England and the Office of Budget Responsibility. Discount rate assumptionsThe discount rate applied to the cash flows is calculated using a post-tax rate based on the weighted average cost of capital (\u2018WACC\u2019), which would be anticipated for a market participant in the Group.The Group has considered the impact of the current economic climate in determining the appropriate discount rate to use in impairment testing. In the current period, the post-tax rate used to discount the forecast cash flows has been determined to be 8.96% (2025: 9.32%). On a pre-tax basis a discount rate of 11.95% (2025: 12.43%) would have been applied.Sensitivity analysisAn illustration of the sensitivity to reasonably possible changes in key assumptions in the impairment test for the Grocery CGU is as follows:Reasonably possible change in assumption Impact on value in useRevenue growth Increase / decrease by 3.0% Increase / decrease by \u00a3539.3m / \u00a3483.3mDivisional contribution margin Increase / decrease by 2.0% Increase / decrease by \u00a3266.4mLong-term growth rate Increase / decrease by 0.5% Increase / decrease by \u00a3129.5m / \u00a3112.1mDiscount rate Increase / decrease by 0.5% Decrease / increase by \u00a3140.9m / \u00a3162.8mUnder each of the above sensitivities, no individual scenarios would trigger an impairment for the Grocery CGU. Under a combination of reasonably possible scenarios, and taking into account mitigating actions, no impairment would be triggered.Goodwill impairment chargeThere has been no goodwill impairment charge recognised in 2026 (2025: \u00a3nil).",

"value": "13. Retirement benefit schemesDefined benefit schemesThe Group operates a number of defined benefit schemes under which current and former employees have built up an entitlement to pension benefits on their retirement. These are as follows:\u2022 The RHM Pension Scheme\u2022 Premier Grocery Products Ireland Limited Pension Scheme (\u2018PGPIPS\u2019)\u2022 Premier Foods Ireland Pension Scheme\u2022 Chivers 1987 Pension SchemeThe Premier Foods Pension Scheme and the Premier Grocery Products Pension Scheme were merged with the RHM Pension Scheme in 2020 on a \u201csegregated\u201d basis as three sections in the RHM Pension Scheme \u2013 the RHM Section, the Premier Foods Section and the Premier Grocery Products Section \u2013 each with its own separate pool of assets and its own liabilities. With effect from 29 March 2025, the RHM Pension Scheme was \u201cdesegregated\u201d with the liabilities of all three sections to be paid from a single pool of assets (the \u2018desegregation\u2019). The triennial valuation at 31 March 2025 for the RHM Pension Scheme has been agreed and therefore is the basis for the 28th March 2026 calculations. The exchange rates used to translate the overseas euro-based schemes are \u00a31.00 = \u20ac1.1547 (2025: \u00a31.00 = \u20ac1.1903 for the average rate during the period, and \u00a31.00 = \u20ac1.1538 (2025: \u00a31.00 = \u20ac1.1956) for the closing position at period-end.All defined benefit schemes are held separately from the Company under Trusts. Trustees are appointed to operate the schemes in accordance with their respective governing documents and pensions law. The schemes meet the legal requirement for member nominated trustees\u2019 representation on the trustee boards. Trustee directors undertake regular training and development to ensure that they are equipped appropriately to carry out the role. In addition, each trustee board has appointed professional advisors to give them the specialist expertise they need to support them in the areas of investment, funding, legal, covenant and administration.The trustee board generally meet at least four times a year to conduct their business. To support these meetings, certain aspects of the schemes\u2019 operation are delegated to give specialist focus (e.g. investment, administration and compliance) to committees for which further meetings are held as appropriate throughout the year. These committees regularly report to the full trustee boards.The schemes invest through investment managers appointed by the trustees in a broad range of assets to support the security and funding of their pension obligations. Asset classes used include Government bonds, Private equity, Absolute return products, Swaps, Infrastructure, Illiquid credits and Global credits. The scheme assets do not include any of the Group\u2019s own financial instruments, nor any property occupied by, or other assets used by, the Group. The schemes incorporate a Liability Driven Investment (\u2018LDI\u2019) strategy to more closely match the assets with changes in value of liabilities. The RHM Pension Scheme uses assets including interest rate and inflation swaps, index-linked bonds and infrastructure in its LDI strategy.In setting the investment strategy, the primary concern for the trustee of the RHM Pension Scheme is to act in the best financial interests of all beneficiaries, seeking the best return that is consistent with a prudent and appropriate level of risk. This includes the risk that environmental, social and governance factors, including climate change, negatively impact the value of investments held if not understood and evaluated properly. The trustee considers this risk by taking advice from its investment advisors when choosing asset classes, selecting managers, and monitoring performance.The main risks to which the Group is exposed in relation to the funded pension schemes are as follows:\u2022 Liquidity risk \u2013 The RHM Pension Scheme is currently in surplus, but subsequent valuations could reveal a deficit. As such, this could have an adverse impact on the financial position of the Group. The Group continues to monitor the pension risks closely working with the trustees to ensure a collaborative approach. \u2022 Mortality risk \u2013 the assumptions adopted make allowance for future improvements in life expectancy. However, if life expectancy improves at a faster rate than assumed, this would result in greater payments from the schemes and consequently, increases in the schemes liabilities. The trustees review the mortality assumption on a regular basis to minimise the risk of using an inappropriate assumption.\u2022 Yield risk \u2013 a fall in government bond yields will increase the schemes liabilities and certain of the assets. However, the liabilities may grow by more in monetary terms, thus increasing the deficit in the scheme.\u2022 Inflation risk \u2013 the majority of the schemes liabilities increase in line with inflation and so if inflation is greater than expected, the liabilities will increase.\u2022 Investment risk \u2013 the risk that investments do not perform in line with expectations.The exposure to the yield and inflation risks described above can be hedged by investing in assets that move in the same direction as the liabilities in the event of a fall in yields, or a rise in inflation. The RHM Pension Scheme as a whole invests directly in interest rate and inflation swaps to protect from fluctuations in interest rates and inflation and so has largely hedged inflation and interest rate exposure to the extent of its funding level. The liabilities of the schemes are approximately 30.0% in respect of former active members who have yet to retire and approximately 70.0% in respect of pensioner members already in receipt of benefits. The weighted average duration of the pension liabilities in the RHM Pension Scheme is 10.0 years.All pension schemes are closed to future accrual.At the balance sheet date, the combined principal accounting valuation assumptions were as follows:As at As at 28 March 29 March 20262025Discount rate 6.20% 5.75%Inflation \u2013 RPI 3.20% 3.05%Inflation \u2013 CPI 2.80% 2.65%Future pension increases\u2013 RPI (min 0.0% and max 5.0%) 3.00% 2.80%\u2013 CPI (min 3.0% and max 5.0%) 3.55% 3.50%For the smaller overseas schemes, the discount rate used was 4.3% (2025: 3.7%) and future pension increases were 2.1% (2025: 1.8%). At 28 March 2026 and 29 March 2025, the discount rate was derived based on a bond yield curve expanded to also include bonds rated AA by one credit agency (and which might, for example, be rated A or AAA by other agencies). The Group continued to set RPI inflation in line with the market break-even expectations less an inflation risk premium. The inflation risk premium of 0.3% (2025: 0.3%), reflects an allowance for additional market distortions caused by the RPI reform proposals.The Group has set the CPI assumption by assuming it is 0.9% p.a. lower than RPI pre 2030 (2025: 0.9% lower pre 2030), reflecting UKSA\u2019s stated intention to make no changes before 2030, and 0.1% lower than RPI post 2030 (2025: 0.1% lower post 2030), this being our expectation of the long-term average difference between CPI and CPI-H. Using this approach, the assumed difference between the RPI and CPI is an average of 0.4% (2025: 0.4%) p.a. The assumptions take into account the timing of the expected future cashflows from the pension schemes.The mortality assumptions are based on the latest standard mortality tables at the reporting date. The directors have considered the impact of the recent Covid-19 pandemic on the mortality assumptions and consider that use of the updated Continuous Mortality Improvement (\u2018CMI\u2019) 2025 projections for the future improvement assumption is a reasonable approach.The life expectancy assumptions are as follows:At At 28 March 29 March 20262025Male pensioner, currently aged 65 85.6 85.0Female pensioner, currently aged 65 87.7 87.3Male non-pensioner, currently aged 45 86.9 86.1Female non-pensioner, currently aged 45 89.4 89.0A sensitivity analysis on the principal assumptions used to measure the scheme liabilities at the period is as follows:Change in assumption Impact on scheme liabilitiesDiscount rate Increase / decrease by 0.1% Decrease / increase by \u00a324.8m / \u00a325.3mInflation Increase / decrease by 0.1% Increase / decrease by \u00a38.5m / \u00a38.4mAssumed life expectancy at age 60 (rate of mortality) Increase / decrease by 1 year Increase / decrease by \u00a387.7m / \u00a389.5mThe sensitivity information has been derived using projected cash flows for the schemes valued using the relevant assumptions and membership profile as at 28 March 2026. Extrapolation of these results beyond the sensitivity figures shown may not be appropriate.Following the desegregation the disclosure of assets and liabilities are presented in total for the current and prior periods as outlined in the tables below.As at 28 March 2026 As at 29 March 2025Total Total \u00a3m% of total\u00a3m % of totalAssets with a quoted price in an active market:Government bonds 1,096.8 35.8 951.0 29.6Cash 35.8 1.2 47.7 1.5Assets without a quoted price in an active market:Global equities 1.7 0.1 1.8 0.1Government bonds 37.7 1.2 31.7 1.0Corporate bonds 10.5 0.3 10.8 0.3Global property 306.4 9.9 382.5 11.9Absolute return products 212.0 6.9 227.8 7.1Infrastructure funds 371.5 12.1 383.9 11.9Interest rate swaps 224.9 7.3 224.5 7.0Inflation swaps 26.8 0.9 19.3 0.6Private equity 206.7 6.7 334.9 10.4LDI 1.6 0.1 7.1 0.2Global credit 326.5 10.7 304.0 9.5Illiquid credit 124.4 4.1 186.9 5.8Cash 3.7 0.1 4.0 0.1Other 77.7 2.6 94.9 3.0Fair value of scheme assets 3,064.7 100% 3,212.8 100%For assets without a quoted price in an active market, fair value is determined with reference to net asset value statements provided by third parties. Included within Private Equity assets is a financial asset of \u00a359.4m which is measured using a Monte Carlo Simulation model incorporating both market inputs (Level 1 and 2) and an equity volatility assumption (Level 3).Pension assets have been reported using either 27 March 2026 valuations where daily valuations are available or 31 March 2026 valuations for monthly valued funds. As is usual practice for pensions assets where valuations at these dates were not available, the most recent valuations (predominantly at 31 December 2025) have been rolled forward for cash movements to 28 March 2026 and recognised as lagged valuations. This is considered by management the most appropriate estimate of valuations for these assets using the information available at the time. At 28 March 2026, the financial statements include \u00a3300.8m of assets (2025: \u00a3399.0m) using lagged valuations and were these lagged valuations to move by 1.0% there would be a \u00a33.0m (2025: \u00a34.0m) impact on the fair value of scheme assets. This approach is principally relevant for Private Equity, Property Assets, Illiquid Credits and Global Credits asset categories. Pension assets valuations are subject to estimation uncertainty due to market volatility, which could result in a material movement in asset values over the next 12 months. The amounts recognised in the balance sheet arising from the Group\u2019s obligations in respect of its defined benefit schemes are as follows:At At 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mPresent value of defined benefit obligation (2,562.9) (2,564.1)Fair value of plan assets 3,064.7 3,212.8Surplus in schemes 501.8 648.7The aggregate surplus of \u00a3648.7m has decreased to a surplus of \u00a3501.8m in the current period. This decrease of \u00a3146.9m (2025: \u00a347.2m increase) is primarily due to move to the updated actuarial valuation and the change in the demographic assumptions applied by moving to \u2018CMI\u2019 2025 from \u2018CMI\u2019 2023. Further details are provided later in this note.Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation were as follows:As at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mDefined benefit obligation at 30 March 2025 / 31 March 2024 (2,564.1) (2,963.5)Finance cost (141.0) (136.7)Remeasurement (loss) / gain (42.3) 352.4Exchange differences (1.8) 0.9Benefits paid 186.3 182.8Defined benefit obligation at 28 March 2026 / 29 March 2025 (2,562.9) (2,564.1)Changes in the fair value of plan assets were as follows:As at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mFair value of scheme assets at 30 March 2025 / 31 March 2024 3,212.8 3,565.0Finance income on scheme assets 177.7 165.5Remeasurement losses (138.3) (338.8)Administrative costs (8.7) (9.0)Contributions by employer 5.2 9.21Additional employer contribution \u2013 5.0Exchange differences 2.3 (1.3)Benefits paid (186.3) (182.8)Fair value of scheme assets at 28 March 2026 / 29 March 2025 3,064.7 3,212.81 Contribution by the Group to the Premier schemes in the prior year (prior to de-sectionalisation) due to the payment of dividends during the year.The reconciliation of the net defined benefit surplus over the period is as follows:As at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mSurplus in schemes at 30 March 2025 / 31 March 2024 648.7 601.5Amount recognised in profit or loss 28.0 19.8Remeasurements recognised in other comprehensive income (180.6) 13.6Contributions by employer 5.2 9.21Additional employer contribution\u2013 5.0Exchange differences recognised in other comprehensive income 0.5 (0.4)Surplus in schemes at 28 March 2026 / 29 March 2025 501.8 648.71 Contribution by the Group to the Premier schemes in the prior year (prior to de-sectionalisation) due to the payment of dividends during the year.Remeasurements recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income are as follows:52 weeks 52 weeks ended 28 ended 29 March 2026 March 2025 Total Total \u00a3m\u00a3mRemeasurement (loss)/gain on scheme liabilities (42.3) 352.4Remeasurement loss on scheme assets (138.3) (338.8)Net remeasurement (loss) / gain for the period (180.6) 13.6The actual return on scheme assets was a \u00a339.4m gain (2025: \u00a3173.3m loss), which is \u00a3138.3m less (2025: \u00a3338.8m less) than the finance income on scheme assets of \u00a3177.7m (2025: \u00a3165.5m).The remeasurement loss on liabilities of \u00a342.3m (2025: \u00a3352.4m gain) comprises a gain due to changes in financial assumptions of \u00a3104.3m (2025: \u00a3344.0m gain), a loss due to member experience of \u00a3102.8m (2025: \u00a31.9m gain) and a loss due to demographic assumptions of \u00a343.8m (2025: \u00a36.5m gain).The Group expects to contribute \u00a31.0m annually to its defined benefit schemes in relation to expenses in the 53 weeks to 3 April 2027. Following the merger and subsequent de-sectionalisation, the Group has concluded that there is no change currently to the surplus recognition so the asset has not been restricted and no additional liability has been recognised.The Virgin Media Limited v NTL Pension Trustees II Limited decision, handed down by the High Court on 16 June 2023, considered the implications of Section 37 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993. Section 37 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 only allowed the rules of contracted-out schemes in respect to benefits, to be altered where certain requirements were met. Following an appeal on 25 July 2024, the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court\u2019s decision, that the statutory actuarial confirmation was required, and without this, alterations to schemes were void. In April 2026 the UK Government introduced legislation to give affected schemes the ability to retrospectively obtain written actuarial confirmation that historic benefit changes met the necessary standards. The Trustees are aware of recent developments and are discussing with their legal advisers the potential implications and monitoring the progress of the draft legislative changes. In this matter, the Group has concluded that there continues to be no requirement for quantification within the accounts.The Group has applied IFRIC 14 and has determined that there is no limit on the recognition of the surpluses in its defined benefit pension schemes as at 28 March 2026. The surpluses have been recognised on the basis that the future economic benefits are unconditionally available to the Group, which is assumed to be via a refund through the gradual settlement of the scheme following payment of the last benefits due to members.The total amounts recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss are as follows:52 weeks ended 52 weeks 28 March ended 29 2026 March 2025 Total Total \u00a3m\u00a3mPeriod ended 28 March 2026 / 29 March 2025Operating profitAdministrative costs (8.7) (9.0)Net finance credit 36.7 28.8Total credit 28.0 19.8Defined contribution schemesA number of companies in the Group operate defined contribution schemes, including provisions to comply with auto enrolment requirements laid down by law. In addition, a number of schemes providing life assurance benefits only are operated. The total expense recognised in the statement of profit or loss of \u00a311.6m (2025: \u00a310.8m) represents contributions payable to the schemes by the Group at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.",

Financial instrumentsThe Group\u2019s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (arising from adverse movements in foreign currency, commodity prices and interest rates), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage certain of these risks. The management of these risks, along with the day-to-day management of treasury activities is performed by the Treasury function. The policy framework governing the management of these risks is defined by the Board. The framework for management of these risks is incorporated into a policies and procedures manual.The Group also enters into contracts with suppliers for its principal raw material requirements, some of which are considered commodities, diesel and energy. These commodity and energy contracts are part of the Group\u2019s normal purchasing activities. The Price Risk Management Committee monitors and reviews the Group\u2019s foreign currency exchange and energy price exposures and recommends appropriate hedging strategies for each.18.1 Market risk(i) Foreign exchange riskThe Group\u2019s main operating entities\u2019 functional currency and the Group\u2019s presentational currency is sterling, although some transactions are executed in non-sterling currencies, principally the euro. The transactional amounts realised or settled are, therefore, subject to the effect of movements in these currencies against sterling. Management of these exposures is centralised and managed by the Treasury function. It is the Group\u2019s policy to manage the exposures arising using forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Hedge accounting is not sought for these transactions. The Group generates some of its profits in non-sterling currencies and has assets in non-sterling jurisdictions, principally the euro. The principal foreign currency affecting the translation of subsidiary undertakings within the Group financial statements is the euro. The rates applicable are as follows:52 weeks 52 weeks ended ended 28 March 29 March Principal rate of exchange: euro / sterling 20262025Period ended 1.1538 1.1956Average 1.1547 1.1903The majority of the Group\u2019s assets and liabilities are denominated in the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary.The table below shows the Group\u2019s currency exposures as at 28 March 2026 and 29 March 2025 that gave rise to net currency gains and losses recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as a result of monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency of the subsidiaries involved.Functional currency of subsidiaries \u2013 sterlingAs at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mNet foreign currency monetary assets / (liabilities):\u2013 Euro (9.7) (7.8)\u2013 US dollar 2.2 0.1 \u2013 Other 2.2 2.7 Total (5.3) (5.0)In addition, the Group also has forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at the period-end in order to manage the exposures above but also to hedge future transactions in foreign currencies. The sterling nominal amounts outstanding are as follows:As at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mEuro (63.0) (45.8)Australian dollar (2.2) (2.5)Indian rupee (5.4) (6.3)Total (70.6) (54.6)Sensitivities are disclosed below using the following reasonably possible scenarios:If the euro were to weaken against sterling by 10-euro cents, with all other variables held constant, profit after tax would decrease by \u00a33.7m (2025: \u00a34.4m decrease).If the euro were to strengthen against sterling by 10-euro cents, with all other variables held constant, profit after tax would increase by \u00a34.5m (2025: \u00a35.2m increase).(ii) Commodity price riskThe Group purchases a variety of commodities for use in production and distribution, which can experience significant price volatility, which include, among other things, dairy, wheat, cocoa, edible oils and energy. The price risk including inflation on these commodities is managed closely by the Group through the Price Risk Management Committee. It is the Group\u2019s policy to minimise its exposure to this volatility by adopting an appropriate forward purchase strategy. (iii) Interest rate riskThe Group\u2019s borrowing facilities comprise senior secured notes and a revolving facility, in sterling. Interest on the revolving facility is charged at floating rates plus a margin on the amounts drawn down, and at 35.0% of the applicable margin for the non-utilised portion of the facility, hence the borrowings are sensitive to changes in interest rates.Cash and deposits earn interest at floating rates based on banks\u2019 short-term treasury deposit rates. Short-term trade and other receivables are interest free. The Group\u2019s other financial assets and liabilities are not exposed to material interest rate risk.18.2 Credit riskThe Group\u2019s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high-credit quality financial institutions and although a significant amount of sales is to a relatively small number of customers these are generally the major grocery retailers whose credit risk is considered low.The ageing of trade and other receivables was as follows:Past dueFully performing 1-30 days 31-60 days 61-90 days 91-120 days 120+ days Total At 28 March 2026\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3mTrade and other receivablesExpected loss rate 2.6% 2.8% 4.7% 12.6% 0.0% 12.9% 2.8%Gross carrying amount trade and other receivables 68.4 3.0 1.2 0.7 0.2 0.7 74.2 Loss allowance (1.7) (0.1) (0.1) (0.1) \u2013 (0.1) (2.1)At 29 March 2025Trade and other receivablesExpected loss rate 1.2% 3.0% 3.3% 14.6% 7.0% 19.2% 1.6%Gross carrying amount trade and other receivables 73.7 3.2 1.2 0.5 0.2 1.3 80.1Loss allowance (0.9) (0.1) \u2013 (0.1) \u2013 (0.2) (1.3)The total loss allowance includes provisions in relation to receivables from customers that are considered at risk of experiencing difficult economic situations in the current environment.The Group does not hold any collateral as security against its financial assets.Movements in the provision for impairment of trade receivables are as follows:\u00a3m \u00a3mAs at 30 March 2025/31 March 2024 (1.3) (2.5)Provision for receivables impairment (raised)/released (0.8) 1.2As at 28 March 2026/29 March 2025 (2.1) (1.3)18.3 Liquidity riskThe Group manages liquidity risk through the Treasury function. Cash flow forecasts are prepared and reviewed on a weekly basis, normally covering a period of three months. Where the Group has surplus short-term liquidity, these funds are placed on short-term deposit with reputable banks within the Group\u2019s banking providers to manage concentration risk.In addition, cash flow forecasts are prepared as part of the Group\u2019s overall budgeting and forecasting processes and performance is monitored against this each month. This is intended to give the Board sufficient forward visibility of debt levels.The Group\u2019s net debt level can vary from month to month and there is some volatility within months. This reflects seasonal trading patterns, timing of receipts from customers and payments to suppliers, patterns of inventory holdings, the timing of the dividend payment and the timing of the spend on major capital and restructuring projects. For these reasons the debt levels at the period-end date may not be indicative of debt levels at other points throughout the period.The following table analyses the Group\u2019s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the contractual undiscounted cash flows.Within 1 year 1 and 2 years 2 and 3 years 3 and 4 years 4 and 5 years Over 5 years Total \u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3mAt 28 March 2026Trade and other payables (265.1) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (265.1)Senior secured notes \u2013 fixed (341.6) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (341.6)Lease liabilities (2.6) (2.5) (2.4) (1.7) (1.0) (5.4) (15.6)At 29 March 2025Trade and other payables (250.0) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (250.0)Senior secured notes \u2013 fixed (11.6) (341.6) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (353.2)Lease liabilities (2.4) (1.7) (1.6) (1.5) (1.3) (6.2) (14.7)At 28 March 2026, the Group had \u00a3569.5m (2025: \u00a3244.5m) of facilities (including revolving credit facility) not drawn, expiring in three years (2025: four years). The revolving credit facility is priced to SONIA, other liabilities are not re-priced before the maturity date.The following table analyses the contractual undiscounted cash flows of interest on the fixed-rate debt to maturity.

Hedge accounting has not been applied to forward contracts and as a result the movement in the fair value of \u00a30.1m has been debited to the statement of profit or loss in the period (2025: \u00a30.3m credit). Short and long-term borrowings, loan notes and finance costs payableFair value is calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest rate cash flows.Trade and other receivables / payablesThe carrying value of receivables / payables with a remaining life of less than one year is deemed to reflect the fair value given their short maturity. The fair values of non-current receivables/payables are also considered to be the same as the carrying value due to the size and nature of the balances involved. During the period, the Group recognised other receivables with a fair value of \u00a31.8m (2025: nil).Deferred contingent considerationThe deferred contingent consideration arose following previous acquisitions. The fair values are based on unobservable inputs and are classified as a level 3 fair value estimate under the IFRS fair value hierarchy. As a result of discount unwind and re-measurement, a credit of \u00a30.2m (2025: \u00a30.3m credit) was recognised in the statement of profit or loss under net finance cost.18.5 Capital risk managementThe Group\u2019s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt. The directors propose a final dividend of 3.36 pence per share for the period ended 28 March 2026 (2025: 2.80 pence).Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity plus net debt.The gearing ratios at the balance sheet date were as follows:As at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mTotal borrowings (337.3) (335.1) Less cash and cash equivalents 242.1 191.5Net debt (95.2) (143.6)Total equity (1,410.1) (1,442.0)Total capital (1,505.3) (1,585.6)Gearing ratio 6.3% 9.1%Gearing has reduced due to strong cash generation.Under the Group\u2019s financing arrangement, the Group is required to meet two covenant tests, which are calculated and tested on a 12-month rolling basis at the half year and full year, each year. The Group has complied with these tests at 27 September 2025 and 28 March 2026.18.6 Financial compliance riskRiskThe Group operates with net debt of \u00a395.2m (2025: \u00a3143.6m) and is subject to operating within banking covenants set out in its financing agreement agreed with its banking syndicate, which include Net debt / Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA / interest covenant tests. Adjusted EBITDA definition is set out within the financing agreement. In the event these covenants are not met then the Group would be in breach of its financing agreement and, as would be the case in any covenant breach, the banking syndicate could withdraw their funding to the Group. The banking covenants relate to the Group\u2019s revolving credit facility, which was undrawn at 28 March 2026 (2025: undrawn). In addition to covenant compliance the Group must ensure that it manages its liquidity such that it has sufficient funds to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Group also supports one defined benefit pension scheme in the UK, the RHM Pension Scheme and three in Ireland (see note 13).MitigationThe Group has financing arrangements, which provide funding with maturities ranging from 2026 to 2029. The Group reviews its performance on an ongoing basis and formally tests and reports on covenant compliance to the Group\u2019s banking syndicate at each reporting date. In the event of a forecast covenant breach the Group would seek a covenant waiver or amendment from its banking syndicate.The Group manages liquidity risk through the Treasury function. Cash flow forecasts are prepared and reviewed on a weekly basis, normally covering a period of three months. In addition, cash flow forecasts are prepared as part of the Group\u2019s overall budgeting and forecasting processes and performance is monitored against this each month.The Group continues to monitor the pension risks closely, working with the trustee to ensure a collaborative approach.19.

Non-current transaction costs shown within non-current assets.Unsecured senior credit facility \u2013 revolving During the period the Group increased the RCF from \u00a3227.5m to \u00a3282.5m, released the security on the Group\u2019s financing and pension arrangements and signed a new bridging facility for \u00a3275m which is a facility to November 2027 subject to being drawn by October 2026. Transactions costs of \u00a31.0m were capitalised in relation to this extension. The RCF attracts a leverage-based margin of between 1.8% and 3.5% above SONIA.The covenant package attached to the revolving credit facility is:Net debt / Net debt / 1InterestEBITDA2026 FY 3.50x 3.00x2027 FY 3.50x 3.00x1 Net debt, EBITDA and Interest are as defined under the revolving credit facility agreement.Senior secured notes The senior secured notes are listed on the Irish GEM Stock Exchange.

These provisions have been discounted at rates between 4.5% and 5.6% (2025: 4.3% and 5.3%) The unwinding of the discount is charged or credited to the statement of profit or loss under net finance cost. Other provisions primarily relate to provisions for restructuring costs.The ageing of the provisions is below:Ageing of total provisions:As at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mWithin one year (8.1) (6.7)Between two and five years (6.4) (6.3)After five years (1.1) (1.0)Total (15.6) (14.0)From time to time, the Group is subject to claims and potential litigation.

Financial instrumentsThe Group\u2019s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (arising from adverse movements in foreign currency, commodity prices and interest rates), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage certain of these risks. The management of these risks, along with the day-to-day management of treasury activities is performed by the Treasury function. The policy framework governing the management of these risks is defined by the Board. The framework for management of these risks is incorporated into a policies and procedures manual.The Group also enters into contracts with suppliers for its principal raw material requirements, some of which are considered commodities, diesel and energy. These commodity and energy contracts are part of the Group\u2019s normal purchasing activities. The Price Risk Management Committee monitors and reviews the Group\u2019s foreign currency exchange and energy price exposures and recommends appropriate hedging strategies for each.18.1 Market risk(i) Foreign exchange riskThe Group\u2019s main operating entities\u2019 functional currency and the Group\u2019s presentational currency is sterling, although some transactions are executed in non-sterling currencies, principally the euro. The transactional amounts realised or settled are, therefore, subject to the effect of movements in these currencies against sterling. Management of these exposures is centralised and managed by the Treasury function. It is the Group\u2019s policy to manage the exposures arising using forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Hedge accounting is not sought for these transactions. The Group generates some of its profits in non-sterling currencies and has assets in non-sterling jurisdictions, principally the euro. The principal foreign currency affecting the translation of subsidiary undertakings within the Group financial statements is the euro. The rates applicable are as follows:52 weeks 52 weeks ended ended 28 March 29 March Principal rate of exchange: euro / sterling 20262025Period ended 1.1538 1.1956Average 1.1547 1.1903The majority of the Group\u2019s assets and liabilities are denominated in the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary.The table below shows the Group\u2019s currency exposures as at 28 March 2026 and 29 March 2025 that gave rise to net currency gains and losses recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as a result of monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency of the subsidiaries involved.Functional currency of subsidiaries \u2013 sterlingAs at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mNet foreign currency monetary assets / (liabilities):\u2013 Euro (9.7) (7.8)\u2013 US dollar 2.2 0.1 \u2013 Other 2.2 2.7 Total (5.3) (5.0)In addition, the Group also has forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at the period-end in order to manage the exposures above but also to hedge future transactions in foreign currencies. The sterling nominal amounts outstanding are as follows:As at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mEuro (63.0) (45.8)Australian dollar (2.2) (2.5)Indian rupee (5.4) (6.3)Total (70.6) (54.6)Sensitivities are disclosed below using the following reasonably possible scenarios:If the euro were to weaken against sterling by 10-euro cents, with all other variables held constant, profit after tax would decrease by \u00a33.7m (2025: \u00a34.4m decrease).If the euro were to strengthen against sterling by 10-euro cents, with all other variables held constant, profit after tax would increase by \u00a34.5m (2025: \u00a35.2m increase).(ii) Commodity price riskThe Group purchases a variety of commodities for use in production and distribution, which can experience significant price volatility, which include, among other things, dairy, wheat, cocoa, edible oils and energy. The price risk including inflation on these commodities is managed closely by the Group through the Price Risk Management Committee. It is the Group\u2019s policy to minimise its exposure to this volatility by adopting an appropriate forward purchase strategy. (iii) Interest rate riskThe Group\u2019s borrowing facilities comprise senior secured notes and a revolving facility, in sterling. Interest on the revolving facility is charged at floating rates plus a margin on the amounts drawn down, and at 35.0% of the applicable margin for the non-utilised portion of the facility, hence the borrowings are sensitive to changes in interest rates.Cash and deposits earn interest at floating rates based on banks\u2019 short-term treasury deposit rates. Short-term trade and other receivables are interest free. The Group\u2019s other financial assets and liabilities are not exposed to material interest rate risk.18.2 Credit riskThe Group\u2019s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high-credit quality financial institutions and although a significant amount of sales is to a relatively small number of customers these are generally the major grocery retailers whose credit risk is considered low.The ageing of trade and other receivables was as follows:Past dueFully performing 1-30 days 31-60 days 61-90 days 91-120 days 120+ days Total At 28 March 2026\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3mTrade and other receivablesExpected loss rate 2.6% 2.8% 4.7% 12.6% 0.0% 12.9% 2.8%Gross carrying amount trade and other receivables 68.4 3.0 1.2 0.7 0.2 0.7 74.2 Loss allowance (1.7) (0.1) (0.1) (0.1) \u2013 (0.1) (2.1)At 29 March 2025Trade and other receivablesExpected loss rate 1.2% 3.0% 3.3% 14.6% 7.0% 19.2% 1.6%Gross carrying amount trade and other receivables 73.7 3.2 1.2 0.5 0.2 1.3 80.1Loss allowance (0.9) (0.1) \u2013 (0.1) \u2013 (0.2) (1.3)The total loss allowance includes provisions in relation to receivables from customers that are considered at risk of experiencing difficult economic situations in the current environment.The Group does not hold any collateral as security against its financial assets.Movements in the provision for impairment of trade receivables are as follows:\u00a3m \u00a3mAs at 30 March 2025/31 March 2024 (1.3) (2.5)Provision for receivables impairment (raised)/released (0.8) 1.2As at 28 March 2026/29 March 2025 (2.1) (1.3)18.3 Liquidity riskThe Group manages liquidity risk through the Treasury function. Cash flow forecasts are prepared and reviewed on a weekly basis, normally covering a period of three months. Where the Group has surplus short-term liquidity, these funds are placed on short-term deposit with reputable banks within the Group\u2019s banking providers to manage concentration risk.In addition, cash flow forecasts are prepared as part of the Group\u2019s overall budgeting and forecasting processes and performance is monitored against this each month. This is intended to give the Board sufficient forward visibility of debt levels.The Group\u2019s net debt level can vary from month to month and there is some volatility within months. This reflects seasonal trading patterns, timing of receipts from customers and payments to suppliers, patterns of inventory holdings, the timing of the dividend payment and the timing of the spend on major capital and restructuring projects. For these reasons the debt levels at the period-end date may not be indicative of debt levels at other points throughout the period.The following table analyses the Group\u2019s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the contractual undiscounted cash flows.Within 1 year 1 and 2 years 2 and 3 years 3 and 4 years 4 and 5 years Over 5 years Total \u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3mAt 28 March 2026Trade and other payables (265.1) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (265.1)Senior secured notes \u2013 fixed (341.6) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (341.6)Lease liabilities (2.6) (2.5) (2.4) (1.7) (1.0) (5.4) (15.6)At 29 March 2025Trade and other payables (250.0) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (250.0)Senior secured notes \u2013 fixed (11.6) (341.6) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (353.2)Lease liabilities (2.4) (1.7) (1.6) (1.5) (1.3) (6.2) (14.7)At 28 March 2026, the Group had \u00a3569.5m (2025: \u00a3244.5m) of facilities (including revolving credit facility) not drawn, expiring in three years (2025: four years).

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Hedge accounting has not been applied to forward contracts and as a result the movement in the fair value of \u00a30.1m has been debited to the statement of profit or loss in the period (2025: \u00a30.3m credit). Short and long-term borrowings, loan notes and finance costs payableFair value is calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest rate cash flows.Trade and other receivables / payablesThe carrying value of receivables / payables with a remaining life of less than one year is deemed to reflect the fair value given their short maturity. The fair values of non-current receivables/payables are also considered to be the same as the carrying value due to the size and nature of the balances involved. During the period, the Group recognised other receivables with a fair value of \u00a31.8m (2025: nil).Deferred contingent considerationThe deferred contingent consideration arose following previous acquisitions. The fair values are based on unobservable inputs and are classified as a level 3 fair value estimate under the IFRS fair value hierarchy. As a result of discount unwind and re-measurement, a credit of \u00a30.2m (2025: \u00a30.3m credit) was recognised in the statement of profit or loss under net finance cost.18.5 Capital risk managementThe Group\u2019s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt. The directors propose a final dividend of 3.36 pence per share for the period ended 28 March 2026 (2025: 2.80 pence).Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity plus net debt.The gearing ratios at the balance sheet date were as follows:As at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mTotal borrowings (337.3) (335.1) Less cash and cash equivalents 242.1 191.5Net debt (95.2) (143.6)Total equity (1,410.1) (1,442.0)Total capital (1,505.3) (1,585.6)Gearing ratio 6.3% 9.1%Gearing has reduced due to strong cash generation.Under the Group\u2019s financing arrangement, the Group is required to meet two covenant tests, which are calculated and tested on a 12-month rolling basis at the half year and full year, each year. The Group has complied with these tests at 27 September 2025 and 28 March 2026.18.6 Financial compliance riskRiskThe Group operates with net debt of \u00a395.2m (2025: \u00a3143.6m) and is subject to operating within banking covenants set out in its financing agreement agreed with its banking syndicate, which include Net debt / Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA / interest covenant tests. Adjusted EBITDA definition is set out within the financing agreement. In the event these covenants are not met then the Group would be in breach of its financing agreement and, as would be the case in any covenant breach, the banking syndicate could withdraw their funding to the Group. The banking covenants relate to the Group\u2019s revolving credit facility, which was undrawn at 28 March 2026 (2025: undrawn). In addition to covenant compliance the Group must ensure that it manages its liquidity such that it has sufficient funds to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Group also supports one defined benefit pension scheme in the UK, the RHM Pension Scheme and three in Ireland (see note 13).MitigationThe Group has financing arrangements, which provide funding with maturities ranging from 2026 to 2029. The Group reviews its performance on an ongoing basis and formally tests and reports on covenant compliance to the Group\u2019s banking syndicate at each reporting date. In the event of a forecast covenant breach the Group would seek a covenant waiver or amendment from its banking syndicate.The Group manages liquidity risk through the Treasury function. Cash flow forecasts are prepared and reviewed on a weekly basis, normally covering a period of three months. In addition, cash flow forecasts are prepared as part of the Group\u2019s overall budgeting and forecasting processes and performance is monitored against this each month.The Group continues to monitor the pension risks closely, working with the trustee to ensure a collaborative approach.",

"value": "18. Financial instrumentsThe Group\u2019s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (arising from adverse movements in foreign currency, commodity prices and interest rates), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage certain of these risks. The management of these risks, along with the day-to-day management of treasury activities is performed by the Treasury function. The policy framework governing the management of these risks is defined by the Board. The framework for management of these risks is incorporated into a policies and procedures manual.The Group also enters into contracts with suppliers for its principal raw material requirements, some of which are considered commodities, diesel and energy. These commodity and energy contracts are part of the Group\u2019s normal purchasing activities. The Price Risk Management Committee monitors and reviews the Group\u2019s foreign currency exchange and energy price exposures and recommends appropriate hedging strategies for each.18.1 Market risk(i) Foreign exchange riskThe Group\u2019s main operating entities\u2019 functional currency and the Group\u2019s presentational currency is sterling, although some transactions are executed in non-sterling currencies, principally the euro. The transactional amounts realised or settled are, therefore, subject to the effect of movements in these currencies against sterling. Management of these exposures is centralised and managed by the Treasury function. It is the Group\u2019s policy to manage the exposures arising using forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Hedge accounting is not sought for these transactions. The Group generates some of its profits in non-sterling currencies and has assets in non-sterling jurisdictions, principally the euro. The principal foreign currency affecting the translation of subsidiary undertakings within the Group financial statements is the euro. The rates applicable are as follows:52 weeks 52 weeks ended ended 28 March 29 March Principal rate of exchange: euro / sterling 20262025Period ended 1.1538 1.1956Average 1.1547 1.1903The majority of the Group\u2019s assets and liabilities are denominated in the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary.The table below shows the Group\u2019s currency exposures as at 28 March 2026 and 29 March 2025 that gave rise to net currency gains and losses recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as a result of monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency of the subsidiaries involved.Functional currency of subsidiaries \u2013 sterlingAs at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mNet foreign currency monetary assets / (liabilities):\u2013 Euro (9.7) (7.8)\u2013 US dollar 2.2 0.1 \u2013 Other 2.2 2.7 Total (5.3) (5.0)In addition, the Group also has forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at the period-end in order to manage the exposures above but also to hedge future transactions in foreign currencies. The sterling nominal amounts outstanding are as follows:As at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mEuro (63.0) (45.8)Australian dollar (2.2) (2.5)Indian rupee (5.4) (6.3)Total (70.6) (54.6)Sensitivities are disclosed below using the following reasonably possible scenarios:If the euro were to weaken against sterling by 10-euro cents, with all other variables held constant, profit after tax would decrease by \u00a33.7m (2025: \u00a34.4m decrease).If the euro were to strengthen against sterling by 10-euro cents, with all other variables held constant, profit after tax would increase by \u00a34.5m (2025: \u00a35.2m increase).(ii) Commodity price riskThe Group purchases a variety of commodities for use in production and distribution, which can experience significant price volatility, which include, among other things, dairy, wheat, cocoa, edible oils and energy. The price risk including inflation on these commodities is managed closely by the Group through the Price Risk Management Committee. It is the Group\u2019s policy to minimise its exposure to this volatility by adopting an appropriate forward purchase strategy. (iii) Interest rate riskThe Group\u2019s borrowing facilities comprise senior secured notes and a revolving facility, in sterling. Interest on the revolving facility is charged at floating rates plus a margin on the amounts drawn down, and at 35.0% of the applicable margin for the non-utilised portion of the facility, hence the borrowings are sensitive to changes in interest rates.Cash and deposits earn interest at floating rates based on banks\u2019 short-term treasury deposit rates. Short-term trade and other receivables are interest free. The Group\u2019s other financial assets and liabilities are not exposed to material interest rate risk.18.2 Credit riskThe Group\u2019s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high-credit quality financial institutions and although a significant amount of sales is to a relatively small number of customers these are generally the major grocery retailers whose credit risk is considered low.The ageing of trade and other receivables was as follows:Past dueFully performing 1-30 days 31-60 days 61-90 days 91-120 days 120+ days Total At 28 March 2026\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3mTrade and other receivablesExpected loss rate 2.6% 2.8% 4.7% 12.6% 0.0% 12.9% 2.8%Gross carrying amount trade and other receivables 68.4 3.0 1.2 0.7 0.2 0.7 74.2 Loss allowance (1.7) (0.1) (0.1) (0.1) \u2013 (0.1) (2.1)At 29 March 2025Trade and other receivablesExpected loss rate 1.2% 3.0% 3.3% 14.6% 7.0% 19.2% 1.6%Gross carrying amount trade and other receivables 73.7 3.2 1.2 0.5 0.2 1.3 80.1Loss allowance (0.9) (0.1) \u2013 (0.1) \u2013 (0.2) (1.3)The total loss allowance includes provisions in relation to receivables from customers that are considered at risk of experiencing difficult economic situations in the current environment.The Group does not hold any collateral as security against its financial assets.Movements in the provision for impairment of trade receivables are as follows:\u00a3m \u00a3mAs at 30 March 2025/31 March 2024 (1.3) (2.5)Provision for receivables impairment (raised)/released (0.8) 1.2As at 28 March 2026/29 March 2025 (2.1) (1.3)18.3 Liquidity riskThe Group manages liquidity risk through the Treasury function. Cash flow forecasts are prepared and reviewed on a weekly basis, normally covering a period of three months. Where the Group has surplus short-term liquidity, these funds are placed on short-term deposit with reputable banks within the Group\u2019s banking providers to manage concentration risk.In addition, cash flow forecasts are prepared as part of the Group\u2019s overall budgeting and forecasting processes and performance is monitored against this each month. This is intended to give the Board sufficient forward visibility of debt levels.The Group\u2019s net debt level can vary from month to month and there is some volatility within months. This reflects seasonal trading patterns, timing of receipts from customers and payments to suppliers, patterns of inventory holdings, the timing of the dividend payment and the timing of the spend on major capital and restructuring projects. For these reasons the debt levels at the period-end date may not be indicative of debt levels at other points throughout the period.The following table analyses the Group\u2019s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the contractual undiscounted cash flows.Within 1 year 1 and 2 years 2 and 3 years 3 and 4 years 4 and 5 years Over 5 years Total \u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3mAt 28 March 2026Trade and other payables (265.1) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (265.1)Senior secured notes \u2013 fixed (341.6) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (341.6)Lease liabilities (2.6) (2.5) (2.4) (1.7) (1.0) (5.4) (15.6)At 29 March 2025Trade and other payables (250.0) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (250.0)Senior secured notes \u2013 fixed (11.6) (341.6) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (353.2)Lease liabilities (2.4) (1.7) (1.6) (1.5) (1.3) (6.2) (14.7)At 28 March 2026, the Group had \u00a3569.5m (2025: \u00a3244.5m) of facilities (including revolving credit facility) not drawn, expiring in three years (2025: four years). The revolving credit facility is priced to SONIA, other liabilities are not re-priced before the maturity date.The following table analyses the contractual undiscounted cash flows of interest on the fixed-rate debt to maturity.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Hedge accounting has not been applied to forward contracts and as a result the movement in the fair value of \u00a30.1m has been debited to the statement of profit or loss in the period (2025: \u00a30.3m credit). Short and long-term borrowings, loan notes and finance costs payableFair value is calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest rate cash flows.Trade and other receivables / payablesThe carrying value of receivables / payables with a remaining life of less than one year is deemed to reflect the fair value given their short maturity. The fair values of non-current receivables/payables are also considered to be the same as the carrying value due to the size and nature of the balances involved. During the period, the Group recognised other receivables with a fair value of \u00a31.8m (2025: nil).Deferred contingent considerationThe deferred contingent consideration arose following previous acquisitions. The fair values are based on unobservable inputs and are classified as a level 3 fair value estimate under the IFRS fair value hierarchy. As a result of discount unwind and re-measurement, a credit of \u00a30.2m (2025: \u00a30.3m credit) was recognised in the statement of profit or loss under net finance cost.18.5 Capital risk managementThe Group\u2019s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt. The directors propose a final dividend of 3.36 pence per share for the period ended 28 March 2026 (2025: 2.80 pence).Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity plus net debt.The gearing ratios at the balance sheet date were as follows:As at As at 28 March 29 March 2026 2025 \u00a3m\u00a3mTotal borrowings (337.3) (335.1) Less cash and cash equivalents 242.1 191.5Net debt (95.2) (143.6)Total equity (1,410.1) (1,442.0)Total capital (1,505.3) (1,585.6)Gearing ratio 6.3% 9.1%Gearing has reduced due to strong cash generation.Under the Group\u2019s financing arrangement, the Group is required to meet two covenant tests, which are calculated and tested on a 12-month rolling basis at the half year and full year, each year. The Group has complied with these tests at 27 September 2025 and 28 March 2026.18.6 Financial compliance riskRiskThe Group operates with net debt of \u00a395.2m (2025: \u00a3143.6m) and is subject to operating within banking covenants set out in its financing agreement agreed with its banking syndicate, which include Net debt / Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA / interest covenant tests. Adjusted EBITDA definition is set out within the financing agreement. In the event these covenants are not met then the Group would be in breach of its financing agreement and, as would be the case in any covenant breach, the banking syndicate could withdraw their funding to the Group. The banking covenants relate to the Group\u2019s revolving credit facility, which was undrawn at 28 March 2026 (2025: undrawn). In addition to covenant compliance the Group must ensure that it manages its liquidity such that it has sufficient funds to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Group also supports one defined benefit pension scheme in the UK, the RHM Pension Scheme and three in Ireland (see note 13).MitigationThe Group has financing arrangements, which provide funding with maturities ranging from 2026 to 2029. The Group reviews its performance on an ongoing basis and formally tests and reports on covenant compliance to the Group\u2019s banking syndicate at each reporting date. In the event of a forecast covenant breach the Group would seek a covenant waiver or amendment from its banking syndicate.The Group manages liquidity risk through the Treasury function. Cash flow forecasts are prepared and reviewed on a weekly basis, normally covering a period of three months. In addition, cash flow forecasts are prepared as part of the Group\u2019s overall budgeting and forecasting processes and performance is monitored against this each month.The Group continues to monitor the pension risks closely, working with the trustee to ensure a collaborative approach.",

"value": "18.3 Liquidity riskThe Group manages liquidity risk through the Treasury function. Cash flow forecasts are prepared and reviewed on a weekly basis, normally covering a period of three months. Where the Group has surplus short-term liquidity, these funds are placed on short-term deposit with reputable banks within the Group\u2019s banking providers to manage concentration risk.In addition, cash flow forecasts are prepared as part of the Group\u2019s overall budgeting and forecasting processes and performance is monitored against this each month. This is intended to give the Board sufficient forward visibility of debt levels.The Group\u2019s net debt level can vary from month to month and there is some volatility within months. This reflects seasonal trading patterns, timing of receipts from customers and payments to suppliers, patterns of inventory holdings, the timing of the dividend payment and the timing of the spend on major capital and restructuring projects. For these reasons the debt levels at the period-end date may not be indicative of debt levels at other points throughout the period.The following table analyses the Group\u2019s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the contractual undiscounted cash flows.Within 1 year 1 and 2 years 2 and 3 years 3 and 4 years 4 and 5 years Over 5 years Total \u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3m\u00a3mAt 28 March 2026Trade and other payables (265.1) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (265.1)Senior secured notes \u2013 fixed (341.6) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (341.6)Lease liabilities (2.6) (2.5) (2.4) (1.7) (1.0) (5.4) (15.6)At 29 March 2025Trade and other payables (250.0) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (250.0)Senior secured notes \u2013 fixed (11.6) (341.6) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (353.2)Lease liabilities (2.4) (1.7) (1.6) (1.5) (1.3) (6.2) (14.7)At 28 March 2026, the Group had \u00a3569.5m (2025: \u00a3244.5m) of facilities (including revolving credit facility) not drawn, expiring in three years (2025: four years).

Short and long-term borrowings, loan notes and finance costs payableFair value is calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest rate cash flows.Trade and other receivables / payablesThe carrying value of receivables / payables with a remaining life of less than one year is deemed to reflect the fair value given their short maturity. The fair values of non-current receivables/payables are also considered to be the same as the carrying value due to the size and nature of the balances involved. During the period, the Group recognised other receivables with a fair value of \u00a31.8m (2025: nil).Deferred contingent considerationThe deferred contingent consideration arose following previous acquisitions. The fair values are based on unobservable inputs and are classified as a level 3 fair value estimate under the IFRS fair value hierarchy. As a result of discount unwind and re-measurement, a credit of \u00a30.2m (2025: \u00a30.3m credit) was recognised in the statement of profit or loss under net finance cost.",

Adjusted EBITDA definition is set out within the financing agreement. In the event these covenants are not met then the Group would be in breach of its financing agreement and, as would be the case in any covenant breach, the banking syndicate could withdraw their funding to the Group. The banking covenants relate to the Group\u2019s revolving credit facility, which was undrawn at 28 March 2026 (2025: undrawn). In addition to covenant compliance the Group must ensure that it manages its liquidity such that it has sufficient funds to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Group also supports one defined benefit pension scheme in the UK, the RHM Pension Scheme and three in Ireland (see note 13).MitigationThe Group has financing arrangements, which provide funding with maturities ranging from 2026 to 2029. The Group reviews its performance on an ongoing basis and formally tests and reports on covenant compliance to the Group\u2019s banking syndicate at each reporting date. In the event of a forecast covenant breach the Group would seek a covenant waiver or amendment from its banking syndicate.The Group manages liquidity risk through the Treasury function. Cash flow forecasts are prepared and reviewed on a weekly basis, normally covering a period of three months. In addition, cash flow forecasts are prepared as part of the Group\u2019s overall budgeting and forecasting processes and performance is monitored against this each month.The Group continues to monitor the pension risks closely, working with the trustee to ensure a collaborative approach.",

A Long-Term Incentive Plan (\u2018LTIP\u2019) for executive directors and senior managers, approved by shareholders in 2011 and a 10-year LTIP approved by shareholders in 2021. The LTIP is comprised of performance shares whereby participants have the right to subscribe for ordinary shares at nil cost. These awards are equity-settled and have a maximum term of three years. The vesting of 2023, 2024 and 2025 Performance Share awards are conditional on achievement of a combination of absolute adjusted earnings per share targets and relative TSR targets. The performance conditions for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 awards were based on fifty percent absolute adjusted EPS targets and fifty percent TSR targets. During the period, the EPS and TSR targets for the 2022 LTIP award were achieved, resulting in full vesting for both elements of the award. The June 2025 LTIP award TSR element was valued using a Monte Carlo pricing model, the weighted average fair value of the TSR awards was 124 pence. The key inputs into the Monte Carlo model were weighted average share price of 207 pence, weighted average exercise price of nil pence, the expected volatility of 21.4%, expected term of three years, dividend yield of nil and the risk-free interest rate of 3.9%. The average fair value for the 2025 EPS element was 199 pence.2. A Restricted Stock Plan (\u2018RSP\u2019), which provides specific ad hoc share awards to managers. Awards are normally subject only to continued employment and may be equity-settled or cash-settled and normally have a retention term of two to three years for senior management.3. A Deferred Bonus Plan (\u2018DBP\u2019). One-third of any annual bonus payment awarded to executive directors is made in the form of shares. These shares are awarded under the terms of the DBP, which was approved by shareholders in July 2017. Awards will normally be made within six weeks following the announcement of the Group\u2019s full year results in the form of nil cost options.

The employees involved in this HMRC tax-advantaged save as you earn scheme have the right to subscribe for up to 10.3m million ordinary shares. The number of shares subject to options, the periods in which they were granted and the periods in which they may be exercised are given below. These options are equity-settled, have a maximum term of 3.5 years and generally vest only if employees remain in employment to the vesting date.At 28 March 2026, the number of shares outstanding under the Group\u2019s Sharesave Plan was 9,565,050 with a weighted average exercise price at the date of exercise of 130 pence (2025: 9,668,059 shares, 113 pence), including 390,222 shares which had vested and were exercisable at the end of the period with a weighted average exercise price of 85 pence (2025: 510,002 shares, 83 pence).

During the period, options were exercised for 2,774,895 shares with a weighted average exercise price of 85 pence (2025: 2,594,092 shares, 82 pence) and options for 827,513 shares with a weighted average exercise price of 124 pence lapsed or were forfeited (2025: 663,408 shares, 96 pence). The Group uses the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of share options at grant dates offered under the Sharesave plan. Fair values determined from the model use assumptions that are revised for each share-based payment arrangement. The key inputs into the Black-Scholes model were weighted average share price of 140 pence, weighted average fair value share price of 48 pence, expected volatility of 11.3%, expected term of three years and the risk-free interest rate of 3.8%.The expected Premier Foods plc share price volatility was determined using an average for food producers as at the date of grant. Current dividend yield and risk-free rate determined from market yield curves for government gilts with outstanding terms equal to the average expected term to exercise for each relevant grant. In 2026, the Group recognised an expense of \u00a34.7m (2025: \u00a34.6m), related to all equity-settled share-based payment transactions.",

AcquisitionsOn 1 September 2025, the Group acquired 100% of the ordinary share capital of Merchant Gourmet Holdings Limited (\u2018Merchant Gourmet\u2019) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Merchant Gourmet Limited and Merchant Gourmet International LLC for a total consideration of \u00a346.1m (this comprises \u00a349.6m cash consideration less \u00a33.5m cash acquired). The acquisition is well aligned to the Group\u2019s growth strategy, being highly complementary to Premier Foods\u2019 portfolio and aligned to the Group\u2019s acquisition strategy.The following table summarises the Group\u2019s assessment of the consideration for Merchant Gourmet, and the amounts of the identifiable assets and liabilities. Fair value Recognised amounts of identifiable assets and liabilities \u00a3mBrands and other intangible assets 13.8Inventories 4.3Trade and other receivables (including indemnification assets) 6.8Cash and cash equivalents 3.5Trade and other payables (7.1)Deferred tax liability (3.5)Provisions (1.8)Total identifiable net assets 16.0 Goodwill on acquisition 33.6 Consideration transferred in cash 49.6 Total consideration 49.6 Identifiable net assetsThe fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired have been determined at the acquisition date. As permitted under IFRS 3 the Group may, within twelve months of the acquisition date, retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognised to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognised as at the acquisition date.As a result of the business combination, the Group recognised provisions of \u00a31.8m, including \u00a31.8m in relation to the fair value of contingent liabilities acquired.The fair value of the trade and other receivables acquired as part of the business combination was \u00a36.8m. This includes an indemnification asset of \u00a31.8m in relation to the contingent liabilities assumed, and trade and other receivables amounting to \u00a34.9m which approximated to the contractual cash flows.Consideration transferredConsideration was cash of \u00a349.6m transferred on completion of the acquisition. Acquisition-related costs amounting to \u00a32.6m are not included as part of consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, as part of administrative expenses.GoodwillGoodwill amounting to \u00a333.6m was recognised on acquisition and while the Merchant Gourmet brand forms a portion of the enterprise value of the business, there is a premium associated to the purchase of a pre-existing, well positioned business and synergies are expected from combining the operations. This goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.The carrying amount of goodwill and the beginning and end of the period is as follows:\u00a3m \u00a3mCarrying value at 30 March 2025 /31 March 2024 702.7 702.7 Acquisition of subsidiary 33.6 \u2013Carrying value at 28 March 2026/29 March 2025 736.3 702.7 Merchant Gourmet contribution to the Group resultsFrom the date of the acquisition to 28 March 2026, Merchant Gourmet contributed \u00a319.5m to the Group\u2019s Revenues and a profit before tax of \u00a32.5m. Had the acquisition occurred on 30 March 2025, on a pro forma basis, the Group\u2019s Revenue for the period to 28 March 2026 would have been \u00a31,185.7m and profit before tax for the same period would have been \u00a3182.7m.",
