Spectris plc
Ensuring safe and affordable generation of green energy for the future
Challenge
The challenge in this sector is to transition to a low-carbon economy while ensuring that societies are not burdened by the rising costs of energy. The accelerating transition away from fossil fuels means that the pace of change is increasing. This is driving demand for Spectris’ precision measurement and control technology which provides the certainty needed to accelerate the development and deployment of green energy technologies, from the initial research and development through to ongoing operations and maintenance.
For example, the growing demand for electricity is driving investment in renewable power sources such as offshore wind farms. These require sophisticated monitoring and control systems to ensure efficient and safe operation. Spectris’ technologies are crucial in this regard, enabling accurate measurement of critical parameters and contributing to the overall reliability and longevity of these assets.
Similarly, the development of new energy storage solutions, such as batteries and hydrogen fuel cells, relies heavily on precise control and monitoring. Spectris provides the instruments and systems necessary to ensure the safety, efficiency, and performance of these technologies.
The company’s continued focus on innovation and its strong financial position will enable it to capitalise on these opportunities and contribute to the global energy transition.

Strong sales growth of 14% driven by market share gains and pricing.
Financial performance
Sales increased by 14% or £164.4 million to £1,327.4 million (2021: £1,163.0 million) on a like-for-like (LFL) basis. The disposal of the,' Test & Measurement businesses,' segment, disposed during the year, is treated as a discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 5 and is therefore excluded from continuing operations for both 2022 and 2021. LFL sales increased by £149.7 million (14%), with the impact of disposals, net of acquisitions, reducing sales by £38.3 million (-3%) and foreign exchange movements increasing sales by £53.0 million (5%).
Adjusted operating profit2 increased by 17% or £32.8 million to £222.4 million (2021: £189.6 million). Statutory operating margin of 13% was 100bps higher than 2021’s 12.0% reflecting increased volumes and improved pricing. The gross margin decreased by 350bps reflecting higher input costs and the impact of inflation. This was offset by operating cost improvements offsetting a decline in gross margins and increased reinvestment in sales and marketing.
Adjusted operating profit2 increased by 17% or £32.8 million to £222.4 million (2021: £189.6 million) on a like-for-like basis. Adjusted operating profit increased by £40.5 million (21%), with the impact of disposals, net of acquisitions, reducing profit by £5.1 million (-3%) and foreign exchange movements increasing profit by £7.4 million (4%).
In line with expectations, no restructuring costs were incurred in 2022 (2021: £10.2 million). Net transaction-related costs and fair value adjustments on acquired and contingent consideration were £19.0 million (2021: £19.0 million) relating to the three acquisitions completed during the year, plus the costs associated with potential acquisitions which were not completed in the year.
The rollout of process redesign and improvement enabled by implementing the latest SAP cloud-based systems across the Divisions, incurring costs of £21.7 million in the year (2021: £7.0 million). Consistent with the prior year, these material SaaS projects are capitalised and amortised over their useful economic lives.
The amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets in the year (2021: £13.3 million). Adjusted operating margins increased by 50bps, while LFL adjusted operating margins

operating cost improvements offsetting a decline in gross margins and increased reinvestment in sales and marketing. LFL adjusted gross margins reduced in the year by 160bps to 56.9% as price increases implemented during the year were not fully offset by cost increases in raw materials and components. We expect further progress during 2023. LFL adjusted overheads increased by 9.1% on a like-for-like basis, with headcount remaining broadly stable supporting growth in the full year. Adjusted operating costs, amounted to £103.8 million or 7.8% of sales (2021: £83.8 million or 7.2% of sales).
Adjusted operating profit increased by £32.8 million to £222.4 million (2021: £189.6 million) on a like-for-like basis. Net profit after tax from continuing and discontinued operations after tax of £401.5 million (2021: £346.9 million) includes £286.7 million comprising £10.2 million of costs associated with the disposal of the Test & Measurement businesses and £176.5 million in relation to the sale of the Omega Engineering business. 2021 included £226.5 million in relation to the disposal of the Test & Measurement businesses and other disposals, reported as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5. The profit on disposal of £417.9 million, which has been included in discontinued operations, reflects the sale of the Test & Measurement businesses. The company has not disposed of any other businesses in the year.
The disposal of businesses had a gain of £17.3 million (2021: £7.4 million credit) includes £14.6 million of unrealised losses on intercompany loan balances (2021: £7.4 million credit) relating to unrealised gains on intercompany loan balances. This gain reflects the disposal of these businesses and the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of the net assets of these businesses.
Major Acquisitions
We will maintain a disciplined approach to M&A and a strong balance sheet with leverage between 1-2x EBITDA through the cycle. In certain circumstances, we would be prepared to borrow more than 2x EBITDA for strategic acquisitions that offer a clear path to de-lever back below this level within a short period of time.
In 2022, Spectris plc acquired Creoptix AG for a consideration of £37.0 million, made up of £37.3 million gross consideration (consisting of £35.1 million of cash paid and £2.2 million of contingent consideration) less £0.3 million of cash acquired. Creoptix has been integrated into the Red Lion Controls business.
In July 2022, Spectris plc acquired the remaining 80% of the share capital of Wiest+Ambühl for a consideration of £8.7 million, made up of £7.0 million gross consideration in cash and £1.7 million of contingent consideration recognised on this acquisition. Wiest+Ambühl has been integrated into the Red Lion Controls business.
In April 2022, Spectris plc acquired 100% of the share capital of Dytran for net consideration of £69.6 million, made up of £70.5 million gross consideration in cash less £0.9 million of cash acquired. Dytran is being integrated into the Spectris Dynamics Division.
Disposals
In 2022, Spectris plc sold its Test & Measurement businesses for a consideration of $529 million (£417.9 million equivalent). The profit on disposal was £293.9 million, which has been included in discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5. The company has not disposed of any other businesses in the year.# STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial review
Consistent with IFRS 5, the Omega business was classified as held for sale and was derecognised from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position. The disposal of the Omega business resulted in a loss on disposal of discontinued operations after tax from the discontinued operations of £10.2 million for the six months of ownership (2021: £11.3 million for the twelve months of ownership).

1 Adjusted depreciation and software amortisation represent depreciation of property, plant and equipment, software and internal development amortisation, adjusted for depreciation of acquisition-related fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment.
Increases were strong across all regions, especially in North America and China, driven by strong demand for our products and the benefit of higher pricing, partially offset by higher material and labour costs. Further details of this disposal are provided in Note 17 to the financial statements.
Other than the items noted above, the underlying profitability of the continuing operations has remained robust.
Other
Profit after tax from continuing operations decreased to £163.8 million during the year, resulting in a profit after tax of £178.1 million (2021: 94%).
The cash flow for the Group reflects strong operating cash generation, offset by significant investment in working capital, capital expenditure and shareholder returns.
The net increase in cash during the year was £60.2 million, and contributed to the net increase in adjusted profit after tax from continuing operations.
Capital expenditure during the year of £44.1 million (£33.5 million in 2021) relates to £27.6 million of acquisitions and £16.5 million of capital investment in new plant and machinery, and was financed from operating cash flows. Capital expenditure represented 3.3% of revenue (2021: 2.9%) and was 111% of adjusted depreciation and software amortisation (2021: 96%). During the year ended 31 December 2022, 6,439,493 ordinary shares were repurchased for £300 million under the £300 million share buyback programme announced on 19 April 2022, resulting in an aggregate market value of £300 million transaction fees of £1.2 million. During the year ended 31 December 2021, 5,596,739 ordinary shares were repurchased for £200 million under the £200 million share buyback programme announced on 25 February 2021, resulting in an aggregate market value of £200 million transaction fees of £1.3 million.
The cash outflow on these programmes was £300 million (2021: £200 million), with £1.2 million (2021: £1.3 million) in transaction fees. The Group also made donations of £0.1 million to the Spectris Foundation, contributing to the net decline in adjusted profit after tax from continuing operations.
Financing and treasury
The Group’s activities are financed from retained earnings and, where appropriate, from third-party borrowings. Total borrowings as at 31 December 2022 were £0.1 million (2021: nil).
At 31 December 2022, net cash was £167.8 million (£167.8 million at 31 December 2021).
At 31 December 2022, the Group had undrawn committed borrowing facilities of £400 million (2021: £400 million). The undrawn facilities expire on 18 May 2025 (2021: undrawn).
At 31 December 2022, the Group had covenant interest cover for covenant purposes of £0.1 million, resulting in the interest cover ratio being n/a (2022: 5.7, covenant interest cover requirement is 3.75 times). Adjusted EBITDA (defined as adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation) was less than zero (31 December 2021: less than zero), meaning the Group is not in breach of its banking covenants.
The Group’s forecasts show that covenant headroom is expected to remain positive at 31 per cent. This means that revenue would have to reduce by 31% over the period under review to potentially breach covenants, even taking into account further mitigating actions if an event of a severe and extended revenue decline, such as cancelling the dividend or undertaking a significant disposal.
The covenants are structured to allow for the Group to manage its current facilities, as set out above, without the need to obtain any new or additional facilities in the event of a severe downturn. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has reviewed the Group’s financial forecasts and expects the Group to remain compliant with its banking covenants for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Currency
The Group is exposed to transactional and translational currency exposures. Translational exposures arise on the consolidation of overseas company results into Sterling. Transactional exposures arise where the currency of sale or purchase invoices differs from the functional currency in which each company prepares its local financial statements.
Translational currency exposures are not actively hedged. Transactional currency exposures are managed by matching the currency of revenue with the currency of costs, wherever practical, forward exchange contracts are used to hedge a proportion of the remaining forecast transactional exposures where there is reasonable certainty of an exposure.

| Increase in net cash | 9.2 | (1.3) |
At 31 December 2022, £118.8 million of estimated transactional exposures for 2023 were hedged using forward exchange contracts, mainly against the Euro, US Dollar and Singapore Dollar.
The Group’s currency hedging policy aims to mitigate the financial impact of currency fluctuations on the Group’s reported results and financial position. Forward exchange contracts are used to hedge transactional exposures in respect of sales. No hedging is undertaken for translational exposures.
The table below shows the average and closing key exchange rates compared to Sterling. During the year, currency translation effects increased profit after tax from continuing operations by £12.5 million higher (2021: £10.2 million lower) than it would have been if calculated using prior year exchange rates. Transactional foreign exchange gains of £0.3 million (£0.3 million in 2022) were included in administrative expenses, whilst sales include a loss of £4.3 million (£2.4 million in 2021) in respect of exchange contracts taken out to hedge transactional exposures in respect of sales.
Pensions
The Group's pension schemes were valued at £8.9 million, a reduction of £13.4 million versus the £22.3 million liability at 31 December 2021, primarily due to movements in market discount rates.# Other Non-reportable Operating Segments
The following pages detail the other non-reportable operating segments in accordance with IFRS 8. These businesses are reported within the Other non-reportable operating segments. On a statutory basis, sales for the segment increased to £234.3 million (2021: £206.3 million) due to 2021 disposals of the distribution and wholesale businesses, with underlying growth of 14% resulting from increased volume and strong price discipline.
Profit before tax for the segment was £27.2 million (2021: £26.2 million), an increase of 4% (16% LFL), with an adjusted operating margin of 15.3%, an increase of 70bps to 15.3%. This was driven by the extra sales drop through, the pricing strategy, a focus on the product portfolio, improved operational performance and strong cost control.
Operating profit for the segment was £34.7 million (2021: £32.6 million). This increase was driven by pricing, improved operational performance, and lower transaction-related costs, with operating margin increasing from 14.5% to 14.8%. Red Lion Controls contributed to the sales increase with a combination of volume growth and pricing and maintained its level of operating profit. The volume growth was in North America, offsetting lower sales in Europe, with the US business seeing growth in our niche flow, gas and pressure instruments and in our services business. The strong price discipline has positively contributed to the operating margin in 2022. Servomex had a record year for orders received in 2022, mainly driven by the growth in its leading gas analysis products within the industrial gas and semiconductor markets.
Profit before tax increased to £37.0 million (2021: £35.9 million) due to revenue growth and pricing and maintained its level of operating profit.

Sustainability at the core
“As Group Finance Director I am proud to see Spectris continue to embed sustainability within its operations and to deliver its sustainability agenda, supporting our net zero commitment.
In 2022, we have seen the business make a positive impact in relation to the appropriate accounting judgements and to the management of the Group’s sustainability initiatives, supporting our net zero commitment.
The following section is presented by Derek Harding, Group Finance Director.
We recognise that effective management of risk is essential to the successful delivery of our strategic objectives. As such, risk management is built into our day-to-day activities and forms an integral part of how we operate.
The Group’s risk management framework delivers visibility and accountability for all aspects of business-critical risk management, ensuring that the Group’s internal control framework, as described in the Corporate Governance Statement, is robust.
Risk management process
Our approach to risk management combines a granular bottom-up assessment of day-to- day operational risk (managed by the businesses) with a top-down assessment of strategic risks, overseen by the Risk Committee and reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee.
Business unit risk management
Management of the businesses undertake a detailed assessment of risk across their markets, processes and operations, including a consolidation of any emerging risks that should be formally evaluated. We operate a quarterly reporting cycle and financial controls, and these are subject to review by the Audit and Risk Committee. The results of these reviews, along with the assessment of the key risks and controls, represent a key component of the second line of risk management (see page 35) for which the Chief Financial Officer, supported by the Internal Audit and Risk Management function, has oversight for matters, internal control, risk management, and other areas of compliance.
Risk management approach
Our approach to risk management combines a continuous bottom-up assessment of risk, the management of which is embedded within each business unit and function, with a top-down assessment of principal risks and emerging risks conducted by the Group Executive and the Audit and Risk Committee, and are subject to regular operational review as well as independent assurance where appropriate.
Group risk management
In 2022, Group risk management is strengthened by the establishment of an Operational Risk and Compliance Committee and the Group’s Audit and Risk Committee.
The purpose of the Operational Risk and Compliance Committee is to ensure appropriate management of the Group’s operational risk and compliance matters, and to provide assurance over the Group’s risk management framework, holding accountable those responsible for all activities within the three lines of defence.
The Board carries out a robust assessment of the Group’s principal risks and emerging risks on an annual basis.
In the Operational Risk and Compliance Committee, risks are regularly assessed in terms of its gross and net severity, and a detailed action plan is developed, and its effectiveness is monitored on an ongoing basis. The Operational Risk and Compliance Committee provides the Board with assurance on the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management framework, and the Board considers the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management framework and, where appropriate, makes changes to the net risk ratings are required.
Our risk management approach includes the consideration of emerging risks, whether through the proactive identification of new risks or the escalation of existing risks in terms of scope, such as climate change and environmental matters. In recognition of the importance of climate change and our increased understanding of its implications, climate change was added as an additional Principal Risk in 2022. How climate-related risks will be managed on an ongoing basis are described on page 56. During 2022, we have seen an increase in gross risk in a number of areas, including political and market risk, cyber threat and supply chain risk. These risks are continually managed by the Operational Risk and Compliance Committee and we continue to review the effectiveness of our mitigation strategies and to identify further actions where appropriate in order to manage risks.
In terms of the net risk rating, geopolitical risk has been reassessed from Moderate to High in view of the increased potential for this risk to impact Group strategy, whilst in respect of compliance risk the continued work to strengthen our controls framework and to further embed the Spectris Code of Conduct, has led to a reassessment of the net rating from High to Moderate. In addition, the Board ensures that all risks are appropriately considered in light of changes to the net risk ratings are required.

Strategic transformation
Description
The Group’s strategy requires significant transformation. This includes the integration of acquired businesses, the deployment of the Spectris Business System, and investment in new capabilities, processes, and technologies to support our ambitious growth plans. Failure to execute these initiatives effectively, or a misalignment with evolving market demands, could impact our ability to achieve our strategic objectives.

Impact
Our day-to-day activities are inherently aligned to the execution of our strategy. The successful implementation of strategic transformation initiatives is crucial for achieving our long-term vision. The Group’s strategy requires significant transformation, including the integration of acquired businesses, the deployment of the Spectris Business System, and investment in new capabilities, processes, and technologies to support our ambitious growth plans. Failure to execute these initiatives effectively, or a misalignment with evolving market demands, could impact our ability to achieve our strategic objectives. The Group is managing some of the more transformative elements of its strategic transformation by ensuring a clear strategy and dedicated resources are in place. Furthermore, the Group’s strategy for mergers and acquisitions, growth initiatives including capital expenditure and the development of new business models requires careful planning and execution to ensure they deliver the intended returns and do not negatively impact existing operations.
Mitigation
- Clear strategy and dedicated resources for transformation initiatives
- Deployment of the Spectris Business System
- Continued review of acquisition/merger pipeline, integration processes and capability
- Robust project and change management framework
- Information security and data privacy policies and controls
- Cyber risk assurance undertaken by Internal Audit
- Regular review of strategic initiatives and alignment with market dynamics
- Clear communication of strategy and progress across the organisation
- Investment in leadership development and talent management
Cyber threat
Description
The Group faces a significant and evolving cyber threat, including ransomware attacks, data breaches, and phishing attempts. Such threats could disrupt operations, lead to financial losses, reputational damage, and demands for ransom payments and inadvertent/intentional electronic leakage of critical data.

Risk appetite
Cautious
Impact
The Group’s day-to-day activities, including the use of digital platforms and the processing of sensitive data, are inherently exposed to cyber threats. The constant evolution of cyber threats, coupled with increasing sophistication and unpredictability, necessitates a robust and proactive approach to information security. The introduction of data privacy regulations further heightens the risk associated with data protection and the consequences of information security breaches occurring across a wide range of systems and processes. This requires a cautious approach to safeguarding its information assets.
Mitigation
- Information security and data privacy policies and controls
- Cyber risk assurance undertaken by Internal Audit
- Regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing
- Employee training and awareness programmes on cyber security best practices
- Incident response plan and business continuity measures
- Intelligence services to gain a deeper understanding of threat landscape to Spectris

Principal risks and uncertainties
Compliance
Material adverse changes in the geopolitical environment putting pressure on the supply chain, or actions taken by governments to restrict trade or impose sanctions, could lead to increased costs, supply disruption and reputational damage.
- Aligned to structural growth markets
- Customer centricity
- Investment in capabilities and infrastructure
High
Risk appetite
Balanced
We operate in many jurisdictions and, as a consequence, are exposed to a wide range of legal and regulatory requirements. These include, but are not limited to, competition law, data privacy, fair competition and anti-bribery and corruption regulations. Non-compliance with these laws and regulations could result in civil or criminal liabilities, leading to significant fines, reputational damage and operational disruption. The Group’s operations are subject to the evolving global and local regulatory landscape. We must ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate. Failure to do so could result in significant penalties and damage to our reputation.
- Robust compliance framework, including policies and procedures
- Regular training and awareness programmes for employees on compliance matters
- Internal and external audits to assess compliance with regulations
- Dedicated compliance function to monitor regulatory changes and ensure adherence
- Contract review and approval processes to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements
Geopolitical
Material adverse changes in market conditions, such as economic downturns, currency fluctuations, or inflationary pressures, could impact demand for our products and services, and affect our profitability.
- Execution of strategic transformation
- Aligned to structural growth markets
- Customer centricity
- Investment in capabilities and infrastructure
High
Balanced
We operate in a broad spread of geographical markets and end users and are therefore exposed to a range of geopolitical risks. Material adverse changes in the geopolitical environment putting pressure on the supply chain, or actions taken by governments to restrict trade or impose sanctions, could lead to increased costs, supply disruption and reputational damage. This could also lead to heightened tension between trading parties or blocs. As with political risk, we are limited in our ability to reduce the likelihood of such events, but with careful monitoring and response planning we can ensure that the potential impact is managed.
- Diversified geographic presence and customer base
- Active monitoring of geopolitical developments and their potential impact
- Contingency planning and business continuity measures
- Strong balance sheet to withstand market volatility
- Hedging strategies to mitigate currency and commodity price risks
- Working groups and sub-committees to limit the impact of geopolitical events on our operations
Spectris plc | Annual Report 2023 37
Talent and capabilities
The Group’s success is dependent on attracting, developing, and retaining the right talent with the necessary skills and capabilities to achieve our operational and strategic targets. A failure to do so could impact our ability to deliver on our objectives.
- Execution of strategic transformation
- Customer centricity
- Investment in capabilities and infrastructure
- Agile and efficient operating model
Moderate
Balanced
The Group’s ability to achieve its strategic goals and maintain its competitive position relies heavily on the skills, experience, and dedication of its employees. A lack of sufficient or appropriately skilled talent, or high employee turnover, can hinder innovation, operational efficiency, and the successful execution of strategic initiatives. This can also impact our ability to adapt to market changes and capitalise on new opportunities. The Group is proactively ensuring a consistent and effective pipeline of talent to support its growth and development.
- Comprehensive talent management and succession planning programmes
- Competitive remuneration and benefits packages
- Investment in employee training and development
- Focus on employee engagement and fostering a positive work environment
- Robust recruitment processes to attract high-calibre candidates
- Diversity and inclusion initiatives
Business disruption
Disruptions to our operations, whether caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or other unforeseen events, could impact our ability to supply products and services to our customers, leading to financial losses and reputational damage.
- Agile and efficient operating model
Minor
Cautious
Significant disruptions to business operations can arise from various sources, including natural disasters, pandemics, or other unforeseen events. Such events can impede the Group's ability to manufacture and deliver products, fulfil customer orders, and maintain critical business functions. This could result in substantial financial losses, damage to the Group's reputation, and a negative impact on its ability to meet customer demands and achieve strategic objectives. The Group's diversified business operations across various geographies provide a degree of natural hedging against localized disruptions. However, the potential for widespread or prolonged disruption necessitates robust business continuity and disaster recovery planning.
- Business continuity and disaster recovery plans
- Diversification of supply chains and manufacturing facilities
- Insurance coverage for business interruption and other relevant risks
- Regular testing and updating of business continuity plans
- Emergency response procedures and communication protocols
Climate change
The Group faces risks associated with climate change, including the potential for increased regulatory requirements, changes in market demand, and the physical impact on our operations and supply chains. We also face risks associated with not identifying potential opportunities in assisting others manage their climate agendas.
- Aligned to structural growth markets
- Customer centricity
- Investment in capabilities and infrastructure
- Agile and efficient operating model
Moderate
Balanced
The evolving landscape of climate change presents both risks and opportunities for the Group. Transition risks may arise from increasing regulatory requirements, such as carbon pricing mechanisms or emissions standards, as well as shifts in market preferences towards more sustainable products and services. Physical risks could manifest as extreme weather events impacting our operations, supply chains, or the availability of resources. Furthermore, a failure to identify and capitalize on the growing demand for climate-related solutions and services could represent a missed opportunity for growth and innovation. The Group recognises the importance of proactively addressing climate-related issues to mitigate risks and leverage opportunities.
- Assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities
- Integration of sustainability considerations into business strategy and decision-making

Viability statement
Longer-term viability of the Group
The Directors have, in accordance with provision C.1.3 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, assessed the longer-term viability of the Group to the period to 31 December 2025. In assessing the viability of the Group, the Directors have considered the Group’s current position and potential events over the assessment period based on the strategy, markets and business model as outlined previously within this report. In the strategic review of the Company, the Board highlights a number of factors that underpin its prospects and viability as follows:
- Alignment with structural, sustainable growth markets with high barriers to entry;
- Significant and diversified customer base, resilient to economic downturns and with significant barriers to entry for competitors, alongside strong customer retention and high levels of recurring revenue, generated and with a clear capital allocation process and access to funding.
Assessment of viability
In determining the appropriate period over which to assess viability the Board has considered budgeting, forecasting and scenario planning of the Group’s cash flows and financial position. The Group operates in a number of markets and is exposed to a range of risks and uncertainties that could impact its financial performance, solvency or liquidity.
The Directors have concluded that the three-year period to 31 December 2025 is an appropriate period over which to assess viability. This period has been chosen as it aligns with the Group’s strategic planning horizon, allowing for reasonable estimation of future performance and cash flows, and is consistent with the Group’s budgeting and forecasting processes.
The Directors have undertaken a robust assessment of the Group’s viability. This assessment included:
- A review of the Group’s principal risks and uncertainties, and consideration of how these risks might impact the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
- Scenario analysis, including a severe but plausible downside scenario, to assess the potential impact of these risks on the Group’s financial position and cash flows.
- Consideration of the Group’s access to funding, including its revolving credit facility and ongoing support from its banking group, which provides that the Group’s committed borrowing facilities are in place until 31 December 2027. As part of their assessment, the Directors have considered the Group’s resilience to sustained downturns in revenue and profitability, and the effectiveness of mitigation actions to reduce overheads during the period as sales declined and, on that basis, a fall in revenue of 20% could be absorbed before such a breach of covenant would be required before such a breach of covenant would be required

VI-grade driving simulator avoided emissions
VI-grade’s virtual simulation solution offers significant avoided emissions compared to the avoided emissions from production and end-of-life of physical prototypes.
What is a Life Cycle Assessment?
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology used to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product’s life, from raw material extraction through materials processing, manufacture, distribution, use, repair and maintenance, and disposal or recycling.
The LCA approach allows us to identify opportunities to reduce environmental impacts. The most significant impacts are related to raw materials and energy consumption during manufacturing, and in-use energy and emissions.
VI-grade’s virtual simulation solution, alongside its industry-leading driving simulators, offers significant avoided emissions compared to the emissions associated with the design, production, testing and operation of physical prototypes.
Case study: Maximum potential annual avoided emissions: 14,000 tCO 2 e
- Vehicle operations: 10,000 tCO 2 e of avoided emissions from using the simulator to test a new vehicle model.
- Vehicle production: 2,000 tCO 2 e of avoided emissions and 2,000 tCO 2 e of avoided end-of-life emissions.
Overview
VI-grade’s simulation solution helps its customers to reduce their environmental footprint through the use of advanced simulation tools and by minimising the need for physical vehicle testing. This reduces the emissions associated with the manufacture, transportation, and physical testing of prototypes.
Methodology
The LCA methodology used estimates the environmental impact of VI-grade’s solution in terms of the avoided emissions from the production, transport, testing and end-of-life of physical prototypes. The approach considers the entire life cycle of the simulation solution and the prototypes it replaces.
Source data
In this analysis, VI-grade estimates emissions data for a new vehicle model for the UK market, based on the European Environmental Agency’s average CO 2 emissions for a medium sized electric or petrol car.
- Estimates are based on a conservative use of the simulator to produce data for a new vehicle model.
- The average lifetime of a car is estimated at 150,000 miles or 12 years.
- 10,000 tCO 2 e of avoided emissions from production and 4,000 tCO 2 e of avoided emissions from vehicle operations.
Potential improvements
The current emissions in our solution do not fully account for the significant avoided emissions through the use of virtual testing in place of physical prototypes, which enhances the environmental credentials of our solution.

Environmental reporting
The Group is committed to measuring and reporting its environmental impact and our transition towards Net Zero.
Restatement of comparative environmental data
The following environmental data has been restated for all periods to align with our updated scope and reporting methodologies.
- Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions disclosure: Updated our emissions reporting boundary to include all material operations and our transition towards Net Zero.
- Scope 3 emissions disclosure: Updated our Scope 3 emissions boundary to include relevant material categories and to reflect more granular data, including the impact of procurement in China.
- Restatement of comparative environmental data: Updated Scope 1 emissions figures for 2020 and 2021 to account for revisions to historical fuel consumption data.
Scope 1 emissions
Scope 1 comprises direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, including fuel combustion in company vehicles and from facilities. For 2022, Scope 1 emissions were 5,523.5 tCO 2 e, a 5.8% reduction year-on-year. This reduction is primarily due to an increase in the use of electric vehicles and the transition away from company-owned fuel oil storage tanks at some of our sites.
Scope 2 emissions
Scope 2 comprises indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy. For 2022, Scope 2 emissions were 17,176.6 tCO 2 e (location-based) and 12,022.5 tCO 2 e (market-based), representing a 7.7% and 27.0% reduction respectively. The reduction in market-based emissions is driven by the increased procurement of renewable electricity across our global operations.
Scope 3 emissions
Scope 3 comprises all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of the reporting company. For 2022, Scope 3 emissions were 506,288.9 tCO 2 e, a 10.0% increase year-on-year. The increase is primarily driven by increased emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products. The Group is working to reduce Scope 3 emissions through supplier engagement and product innovation.
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (‘SECR’)
The Group is required to report under SECR regulations, which mandate the reporting of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions for all UK group undertakings. For 2022, total UK energy consumption was 9,942.8 MWh, and total UK Scope 1 and 2 emissions were 2,297.9 tCO 2 e.
Energy saving opportunities
In 2022, we partnered with Schneider Electric to identify and implement energy saving opportunities and efficiency improvements across our global facilities. This partnership has identified potential savings of up to £5m of energy and carbon. We are now focused on implementing these recommendations across our sites, including the upgrade of lighting and HVAC systems, and optimising process energy usage.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations, existing cash balances, and our revolving credit facility. We believe that these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs, including funding working capital, capital expenditures, debt service obligations, and potential acquisitions.
As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $525.3 million. We also had a $1,000 million revolving credit facility, of which $0 million was drawn down and available for use.
Our capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2022, were $200.5 million, primarily for investments in new product development and expansion of our manufacturing capacity.
We are committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and a conservative capital structure. We regularly review our capital allocation strategy to ensure that we are making optimal use of our financial resources to create long-term value for our shareholders.
Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2022:
| Obligation Type | Total | Due 2023 | Due 2024-2025 | Due 2026-2027 | Thereafter |

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates that we believe are important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. We regularly review our inventory for obsolescence and write down obsolete inventory to its net realizable value.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We assess impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value.
Stock-based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Stock options and other stock-based awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. We assess the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on our projections of future taxable income.

# STRATEGIC REPORT
Chairman’s introduction
Continuing our strategic progress
As outlined in my letter on pages 4 and 5, macro-economic events have created new challenges for the Group in 2022. My role, and that of the Board, has been to successfully guide our way through these varied challenges, ensuring our continued strategic progress and the maintenance of focus on long-term value creation in support of all our stakeholders.
My other core duties to oversee the Group’s financial and non-financial performance, our strategy, our risk management and our stakeholder engagement are set out in the section that follows outlines our key activity during 2022.
Board activity
The Board’s primary duty is to oversee the continued delivery of the Group’s strategic objectives and the development of the Group’s Strategy for Sustainable Growth. Ahead of the Group’s Capital Markets Day in October, the Board undertook a deep dive review of the refreshed strategy with the Executive Committee. We were pleased to endorse the strategy, which builds on the Group’s previous investments in our chosen markets and will further build long-term sustainable value for all stakeholders.
I have appreciated the opportunity to visit both the HBK site in Darmstadt, Germany and the Malvern Panalytical site in Malvern, UK, meeting directly with employees to see how they are working to support our customers and to better appreciate their perspective on the Group’s purpose and strategy. During the year, the Board and I have also valued several direct interactions with customers, including a visit to one of our customers in the semiconductor industry. These interactions are supporting considered and well-rounded discussions at the Board to promote our long-term sustainable success. A summary of Board discussions and key stakeholder considerations during the year are set out in the s.172(1) statement is available on page 5 and further information can be found on pages 68 and 69.
Committee focus
The Board delegates its work to its Committees, with the following notable highlights during the year:
- The Remuneration Committee’s work on the Group’s executive remuneration structure, which aligns our executive remuneration structure with the Group’s Strategy for Sustainable Growth, received endorsement from shareholders with over 95% of votes in favour of its approval in December 2022;
- The Audit and Risk Committee oversaw the work being carried out by management in respect of the development of the Group’s internal control framework in response to expected changes in the requirements for UK Premium Listed Companies; and
- The Nomination Committee focused on succession planning for the Board and its support of the development of the talent pipeline for Executive and senior management.
I would also like to particularly recognise the work undertaken by Kjersti Wiklund, as our Workforce Engagement Director during the year in visiting sites and meeting with employee representatives outside of Board meetings. The Board and I found the additional insight brought by Kjersti to be very helpful to our discussions.
Overseeing the development of the Group’s culture
The Board has taken a keen interest in the development of the Group’s employee engagement activity and the initial impact of the refreshed employee engagement survey results. Beyond this, the Board has focused on ensuring that the health and wellbeing of our employees at the centre of our decision making and the Board was pleased to approve new Group-wide policies on health and safety and mental health.
The Board has considered the actions proposed by management will lead to the meaningful development of the Group’s culture of inclusion and belonging. Alongside this work, the Board has also refreshed its own diversity policy and we have set a target of 40% representation of women on the Board by 2025.
2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM)
In order to give all shareholders the opportunity to participate in the 2023 AGM and to encourage Directors and employees, we have held a hybrid AGM. Our preference has always been to welcome shareholders in person and, for 2023, we will hold a physical meeting at Melbourne Park, 10 Old Beach Road, Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia on Thursday 4 May 2023 at 2:00 PM AEST. We did consider the merits of holding a hybrid event again this year but given the extremely low attendance online, we believe that shareholders value the personal interaction of a face-to-face meeting. All current Directors will be standing for re-election at the 2023 AGM, and we look forward to the continued support from our shareholders.
“Our direct stakeholder interactions during the year have supported considered and well-rounded discussions at the Board to promote our long-term sustainable success.”

After considering a shortlist of candidates a recommendation will be put forward to the Board for the appointment of Directors. The Nomination Committee assesses existing candidates’ appointments and associated time commitments as well as their executive and non-executive experience to inform their recommendations to the Board. The Nomination Committee's experience of a variety of different lengths of tenures which will provide a good mix of current and future Board composition, as Board members progress through their tenure, the Committee continues to consider their independence, whether they are able to commit enough time to discharge their responsibilities and the overall skills and experience of the Board. The Committee has also received an updated Board skills matrix which details the current skills and experience of the Directors.
Workforce engagement
The Nomination Committee engaged with workforce representatives in the business during 2022. With the return in international travel, Kjersti was able to visit the teams in Darmstadt, Malvern and Crowborough. Key topics discussed at the meetings included talent management, sustainability and inclusion. In addition to the above, Kjersti and the Chairman of the Audit Committee met with the Chief Executive, Finance Director and the Head of Investor Relations to discuss the Group's approach to talent development and employee engagement. Further details on the Nomination Committee's engagement with employees can be found on page 71.
Board Diversity Policy
During the year, the Board’s Diversity Policy was carefully considered and reviewed in line with the recommendations issued by the FTSE Women Leaders Review and the Parker Review. The Board's Diversity Policy was updated to increase the overall percentage of women on Executive and Non-Executive Director roles to 40% and to ensure that at least one woman in the Chief Executive or Finance Director role is appointed by 2025.
Following a review of the above recommendations, the Board's Diversity Policy was updated to include the target of 40% of Non-Executive Directors to be women by 2025 and one woman in the Chief Executive or Finance Director role by 2025.

Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee# Audit and Risk Committee Report
The Audit and Risk Committee (the "Committee") of Spectris plc (the "Company") is responsible for assisting the Board of Directors (the "Board") in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Committee's responsibilities primarily relate to the following key areas:
• Financial reporting and controls;
• Risk management and internal controls;
• Internal audit; and
• External audit.
These areas are considered in conjunction with each other given the importance of each element operating cohesively. For clarity of reporting, details of the Committee’s involvement in each of these areas is set out separately below.
Financial reporting and controls
The Committee's primary role is to provide assurance to the Board around the integrity of the half-year and annual Financial Statements and the accuracy and appropriateness of the accounting policies, estimates, judgements and disclosures. During 2022, as part of its financial reporting assurance role, the Committee has:
• considered the viability assessment and scenarios, liquidity risk and the basis for preparing the half-year and annual Financial Statements on a going concern basis, and reviewed the related disclosures in the Annual Report and Accounts, the provisions of the Code regarding going concern and viability statements and reviewed best practice and investor comment;
• reviewed the areas of key judgements such as revenue recognition, the Vendor Loan Note and Eurazeo investment (as part of the consideration for the sale of Millbrook), and other acquisitions and disposals;
• reviewed the areas of key judgements in respect of the Omega disposal and the acquisitions of Dytran, MB connect, and Creoptix;
• reviewed the overall drafting and review processes to assure the integrity of the Annual Report and Accounts;
• reviewed the management representation letter to Deloitte as the external auditor and the Board’s assurances to the external auditor;
• considered the process designed to ensure Deloitte is aware of all ‘relevant audit information’, as required by Sections 418 and 419 of the Companies Act 2006;
• assessed the disclosures in the reports in relation to internal controls and the work of the Committee; and
• reviewed the proposed update to the Group’s tax strategy.
The Committee has also undertaken a review of the Group’s ongoing litigation matters and associated provisions. Having reviewed and considered these key areas, and following their review of the process undertaken to ensure that the Annual Report and Accounts adhered to relevant legal and regulatory requirements, the Committee was able to recommend to the Board that, when taken as a whole, the Annual Report and Accounts is fair, balanced and understandable and contains all relevant information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company’s position and performance, business model and strategy.

Key areas of focus in relation to the Financial Statements
The Committee has ensured that the half-year and annual Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis and that the disclosures in the Annual Report and Accounts address all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.
The Committee’s key areas of focus in relation to the Financial Statements included:
* Revised segmental reporting
* Alternative performance measures (‘APMs)
* Estimation, uncertainty and judgement
Estimation, uncertainty and judgement
The Committee engaged in a review of the Group’s capital allocation framework based on a dual approach to reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (considered to be the Board) on a regular basis to assist in making decisions on capital allocated to each segment and investment opportunities. The Committee’s review of the capital allocation framework led to the reportable operating segment disclosures for the two wholly-owned businesses Malvern Panalytical and Particle Measuring Systems, and Spectris Operating Companies, and its remaining businesses (Red Lion Controls and Servomex) being disclosed as continuing operations. All other businesses will be disclosed as ‘Group costs’.
The Committee’s review
The Committee has reviewed and considered the new reportable segments in conjunction with the Board and sought views from Deloitte.
Management and the Committee’s assessment
The Committee is comfortable that the new reportable segments were appropriate and presented in accordance with IFRS 8.
Estimation, uncertainty and judgement
The Committee ensured that the Group’s APMs are adjusting in accordance with the Group’s policies. The Committee reviewed all added APMs in the 2022 Annual Report all added to provide clarity and insight into the Group’s performance. The APM’s added in 2022 are not adjusting existing statutory measures, but are added to provide clarity as these cannot be derived from the reported accounts (adjusted gross profit, amortised profit, order intake, order book and vitality index).
Underlying revaluations on debt and equity investments’ to allow use in respect of the revaluation of a debt instrument added in the prior year.
The Committee’s review
The Committee has reviewed and considered the APM rewording and revised list of APMs.
Management and the Committee’s assessment
The Committee has reviewed the list of APMs and is comfortable that their use is appropriate and will provide clarity to the understanding of the Group’s financial performance and that the proposed wording enhances clarity on the prominence of statutory measures compared to APMs disclosed.
During the year, the Committee received reports from management and internal audit in respect of key judgements and disclosures applicable to the Group’s Financial Statements and disclosures.
The Committee noted that the financial statement disclosures in relation to the assumptions underpinning the Group’s 2022 Financial Statements are in relation to the assumptions underlying the impairment of goodwill.
The Committee has reviewed the work of management and internal audit in respect of the Group’s financial statements and their judgement that they were not aware of any material or immaterial misstatements made intentionally to achieve a particular presentation.
The Committee has reviewed disclosures and sensitivities with respect to the turbulent macro-economic environment particularly around risk factors and their impact on discount rates.
The Committee has reviewed management’s approach and also questioned Deloitte to understand whether the external auditor had, to the Committee’s knowledge, identified any issues relating to management bias and whether the basis for the judgements and estimates made by management was sound.
Following detailed review, challenging the presentations and reports from management and where necessary, consulting with the external auditor, the Committee is satisfied that the Financial Statements’ accounting treatments appropriately address critical judgements and key estimates (both in respect of the amounts reported and the disclosures).

M&A Activity
The Committee reviewed the accounting treatment applied to acquisitions and disposals. The Committee determined that the Omega business would be restated in the Consolidated Income Statement being restated in line with the Group’s accounting for discontinued operations and that the Group’s accounting for acquisitions and disposals had been considered.
The group arrangement is known as ‘Blueberry’, to accelerate aspects of the acquisition of the Malvern Panalytical and Spectris Operating Companies. The Committee has been kept informed of the progress of this arrangement and has been satisfied that such an arrangement has been agreed, and the Group’s accounting for such arrangements. The arrangement is designed to ensure that the parties sharing joint control and the liabilities of the arrangement are appropriately accounted for. It has been determined that the entity will be accounted for as a joint operation.
The Committee received an update on the planned acquisitions and disposals presented for review.
The Committee has reviewed the proposals for acquisitions and disposals in question. Opinions were sought from Deloitte.
Following the Committee’s review of the accounting treatments proposed by management for the acquisitions and disposal that took place within the year, the Committee concluded that the accounting treatments proposed by management were appropriate and that the Group’s disclosures reflect the substance of each transaction.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
During 2022, management reassessed the appropriateness of the Group’s existing Principal Risks and considered any additional or emerging risks that might need to be included.As a result of this reassessment no changes were proposed to the existing categories of Group Principal Risk assessed in the February 2022 and February 2023 meetings and considered the appropriate disclosure for the Principal Risks and Uncertainties section and Viability Statement within the Annual Report.
Assessment of going concern and viability
The Audit and Risk Committee reviewed the Group’s Principal Risks, and the respective scenarios considered in the preparation of the Viability Statement.
The Committee Management presented the Committee with an updated calculation of going concern and an assessment of the Group’s viability based on revised forecasts including using the 2023 Budget, and the Directors’ assessment of the likely future developments in the Company’s business and the likely future situation in relation to its assets and liabilities, financial position and profit and losses.
Viability Statement
The Audit and Risk Committee considered the Company’s Viability Statement, performed a detailed challenge of the assumptions made by management in their assessment. The Committee also challenged the assumptions made by management in their assessment. The Committee's challenge was to provide context and further challenge to the assumptions in the papers.
The Audit and Risk Committee approved the Company’s Viability Statement and the Statement of the Group’s Principal Risks, and the Statement of the Group’s Principal Risks, which remain unchanged from the previous year, and confirmed that it is reasonable to expect that the Group would be able to continue to operate and meet its obligations and liabilities as they fall due over the period to February 2025.
Audit and Risk Committee Report
- monthly steering committee meetings and an agreed project charter, as well as coordination with the platform risk committees to track and monitor progress;
- a detailed gap analysis of critical controls and agreed remediation actions;
- ongoing work alongside the improvements being undertaken as part of a business-wide transformation project on the IT general controls environment;
- development of a detailed control and compliance tracker to provide clearer ways of tracking, testing and evidencing internal controls;
- establishment of a central control and internal audit which will be managed by a dedicated team to provide assurance and guidance from the UK Government;
- regular updates to the Committee from the Head of Risk and Control as well as routine updates from the platform audit and risk committees; and
- a detailed update at each meeting on the progress being made to enhance the internal controls framework.
The Audit and Risk Committee regularly updates and engage closely with management on any changes that might impact the Group’s viability and internal controls and to ensure compliance with legislation and best practice as they develop.
The Audit and Risk Committee monitored the Group’s internal control and risk management systems and at its meeting in March 2023 reviewed the effectiveness of these.
- Work alongside the business transformation project to embed risk and internal controls within the business systems in place across the Group.
- Enhance the risk-based approach taken to considering other controls improvement initiatives and compliance controls.
- Implement and launch the Group governance, risk and compliance tracker, including the introduction of training in
- considering common control themes across the Group and subsequent action has been taken to minimise the risk; and
- assessing the Group’s responsibilities relating to regulated exposures of the Group.
Regular meetings were held between the Head of Internal Audit and the Audit and Risk Committee Chair, and regular discussions with the Head of Risk and Control.
The Audit and Risk Committee continued to receive and review risk management updates from the businesses by way of reporting from the operating business audit and risk committee chairmen. Updates on the business audit and risk committees will remain as a standing item on the Committee’s agenda.
The Audit and Risk Committee’s objective in respect of risk management and internal controls systems is to review their effectiveness and to make recommendations for possible improvements as appropriate.
The Audit and Risk Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee do not consider that the Group’s approach to risk management and internal controls is designed to manage, rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and can therefore not provide absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.
Developments and enhancements have continued to be made to the internal control and risk management processes in 2022, with particular focus on strengthening the controls around data integrity and ensuring that the Group has a robust framework of internal controls in place. The programme has been largely in response to the proposals set out in the BEIS consultation regarding a strengthened internal-controls reporting framework, although the reform within the consultation has not yet been enacted. The Audit and Risk Committee has been pleased with the enhancements being made to the Group’s internal control and risk management framework. The enhancements have included: use of the tracker and general controls awareness.
- Strengthening of the control and internal audit and leveraging the Group governance, risk and compliance tracker.
The Audit and Risk Committee continued to use the Company’s own risk management framework to identify risks and opportunities, and to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to manage those risks and to take advantage of opportunities.
Directors and Audit and Risk Committee
The Audit and Risk Committee reported on the status of reports raised through the Group’s Speak-Up policy and the status of associated investigations (further details of the Group’s Speak-Up policy can be found on page 78). The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the control procedures in place to comply with the Group’s policies on business ethics, anti-bribery, compliance and fraud, including the steps being taken to enhance the Group’s ethics and compliance programme.
Viability Statement
The Audit and Risk Committee reviewed the 2022 Viability Statement and considered the following factors which could impact the duration over which the Viability Statement is prepared:
- budgeting, forecasting and strategic planning cycles;
- the time frame over which are risks are assessed;
- the approach taken by our peers; and
- proposed changes in corporate reporting requirements regarding long-term resilience.
The Audit and Risk Committee has reviewed the Group’s viability statement and the statement made regarding the Company’s viability period continues to be an accurate assessment of the Company’s viability as at the date of this report. The Company’s Viability Statement can be found on page 39.
Risk management and internal controls systems
To assist the Board with its responsibilities to effectively determine the nature and extent of the Group’s risk appetite and the systems of internal control, the Audit and Risk Committee carries out a robust annual assessment of the Group’s risk management and internal control systems and considers and challenges as appropriate the adequacy of management’s response to any matters raised. The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for monitoring the risk management and internal controls systems which mitigate potential impacts on shareholder investments and the Company’s assets, and for reviewing the effectiveness of those systems. As part of its review of the systems and recommendations to the Board, the Committee ensure that its responsibilities as set out in its Terms of Reference (available at www.spectris.com) are adequately met.
- evaluating and challenging the results and recommendations of audits undertaken by the internal audit team and the external auditor;
- considering the level of alignment between the Company’s Principal Risks and internal audit programme;

- considering key emerging risks and management’s approach to the ongoing oversight and management of those risks;
- considering the Group’s ethics programme and the anti-bribery and corruption programme;
Audit and Risk Committee Report continued
Internal audit planning
During 2022, the internal audit team has increasingly been able to return to in-person audits, albeit this remains challenging in some locations. An arrangement with PwC has supported the businesses in these instances, allowing for remote and guest auditors to support the internal audit team in undertaking their audit work. This arrangement has continued to support the provision of effective assurance during 2022.
The Audit and Risk Committee received and reviewed reports from the Head of Internal Audit regarding the status of the internal audit plan and the progress of actions raised from the internal audit reports. The majority of actions raised as part of the 2022 internal audit plan had been implemented to schedule, with the remaining actions clearly owned and progressing with management.# Audit and Risk Committee Report
Internal audit
The Committee has received regular updates on the activities of the internal audit function and has also considered the internal audit programme. The Committee noted the risk-based approach adopted by internal audit, which has taken into consideration the organisational objectives and priorities, as well as possible risks that may prevent the achievement of those objectives. Internal audit will continue to work closely with the risk and control function on the development of the 2023 internal audit plan. The Committee was informed about the process by which the 2023 internal audit plan was developed and was reassured by the integration plan in place to embed PwC as the outsourced internal audit function. The Committee was informed about the progress against the plan as well as receiving updates on the outcomes of these audits and how promptly actions have been addressed.
Resources and effectiveness of the internal audit function
As part of its consideration of the effectiveness of the internal audit function, the Committee considered the adequacy of resources and its ability to meet the scope of the internal audit programme. Whilst the Committee recognised the success of the co-source arrangement put in place with PwC and continued this to be effective, the challenges in relation to resourcing and delivery of the outsourced arrangement were also noted. The Committee has found the co-source internal audit function in place throughout 2022 as operating effectively and looks forward to working closely with PwC as part of a fully-outsourced arrangement to continue to develop and improve the assurance provided by a strong internal audit function.
Business Audit and Risk Committees
In each of its meetings during the year the Committee received an update from one of the businesses in respect of topics discussed by that business’s audit and risk committee.
The business audit and risk committees, which meet quarterly and are chaired by the business unit CFOs, provide the opportunity for each business to consider actions from internal audit reports, to discuss business risk registers and to receive an ethics and compliance update from the Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer. The Committee was informed about the process by which the business audit and risk committees support the existing internal audit and risk management framework and received assurance on the ways in which businesses track and monitor risk within their functions.
External audit
One of the Committee’s key responsibilities is to manage the relationship with the Group’s external auditor on behalf of the Board. Deloitte LLP was appointed as the Company’s external auditor in 2015 following a competitive tender process, and has now completed its sixth year as auditor. Andrew Bond has held the role of lead audit partner since March 2019.
Audit of the 2022 financial statements
The audit of the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 has once again, been carried out with a combination of remote and in-person work. Document repository sites have continued to be utilised as an effective way of reviewing documentation to support the external audit. The Committee received reports from Deloitte at its meetings and management and the Chairman of the Committee maintain an ongoing dialogue with the external audit team outside of the formal meetings. This has provided comfort to the Committee on the steps that have been put in place to ensure that there was no adverse effect on the quality or the timescale for the completion of the audit of the Group’s financial statements. The Committee has also:
* considered and approved the audit approach, the scope of the audit undertaken by Deloitte as external auditor and the fees for the same;
* agreed reporting materiality thresholds;
* reviewed interim audit reports from Deloitte; and
* considered and approved letters of representation issued to Deloitte.
Internal audit aims to provide independent, objective assurance to add value and improve the Group’s operations. Its responsibilities include assessing the key risks of the organisation and examining, evaluating and reporting on the adequacy and effectiveness of the systems of internal control and risk management in place, and the governance processes in operation throughout the Group. During 2022, the Internal Audit function was led by the Head of Internal Audit, and supported through a co-source relationship with PwC, with oversight provided by the Committee. The Committee has a duty to provide assurance to the Board on the adequacy of the resourcing and internal audit scope and is responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the internal audit function. During 2022, the co-source arrangement with PwC operated smoothly, with positive progress made with ways of working, external quality assessment (‘EQA’) recommendation activities, risk assurances and subsequent reporting. Due to the success of the programme and to better support the new divisional structure and the integration of Spectris Dynamics, the decision was made to fully outsource the internal audit function, with the intention being to better utilise the specialist skills and experience of PwC to embed third-line activities into the Group’s operational and financial reporting cycles. The internal audit plan and approach will then be tailored to the respective needs of each business.
Audit and Risk Committee Report continued
External auditor reappointment
Following the Committee’s consideration of the effectiveness of Deloitte as the Company’s external auditor, it is proposed that Deloitte be reappointed as auditor of the Company at the next AGM in May 2023 and, if so reappointed, the next general meeting of the Company at which accounts are laid. Further details are set out in the Notice of Meeting, which is available at: www.spectris.com/AnnualGeneralMeeting
Deloitte was appointed as the Group’s external auditor in 2015 and reappointment was last approved by shareholders at the 2022 AGM. During the year, the Committee reviewed the arrangements with the current external auditor and considered whether it was appropriate to continue with Deloitte as auditor, taking into account the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Ethical Standard for Auditors. The Committee noted that given the knowledge and standard of services provided by Deloitte that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders for Deloitte to continue as auditor. It is the Committee’s present intention to initiate a competitive tender process for the external auditor in 2026.
The Committee will continue to monitor the rotation of the key audit engagement partner and senior management required to rotate off the audit, and has been advised by Deloitte that the external auditor’s report to shareholders is set out on pages 111 to 115. As detailed above, the Company complied with the Statutory Audit Services Order 2014 throughout 2022. The Committee has reviewed the independence of Deloitte and was comfortable Deloitte’s independence was not compromised and that it had complied with all relevant professional and regulatory requirements in relation to independence and objectivity. The Committee’s review of Deloitte’s independence encompassed the provision of non-audit services and the relationships with the Company and its senior management.
Effectiveness of the external auditor
During the year, the Committee carried out its responsibilities in relation to the effectiveness of Deloitte as the Company’s external auditor. The review process included:
* considering the independence of Deloitte;
* the Deloitte Audit Quality Inspection Report;
* non-audit work undertaken by the external auditor;
* feedback from a survey targeted at various stakeholders; and
* the Committee’s own assessment.
The Committee’s review process included discussion of the audit findings and the resulting recommendations made by Deloitte. It was concluded that the audit process continued to be effective. Deloitte’s audit of the Group’s 31 December 2021 year end was selected for review by the FRC’s AQR team as part of the 2022/2023 audit quality inspection cycle. The Committee Chair met with the AQRt as part of the process and was kept up to date by Deloitte as the review progressed. The review resulted in only minor improvements being required, with the Chair of the Audit Committee discussing these with Deloitte to agree an action plan. Following consideration of the results of the review, the actions taken by Deloitte to continue to enhance audit quality, and following the Committee’s own assessment of the performance, independence and effectiveness of Deloitte, the Committee is satisfied that Deloitte is effective in its role as external auditor.
Audit and non-audit fees
Audit fees for the audit of the 2022 Financial Statements was reviewed by the Committee, and, in accordance with the authority given to the Committee at the 2022 AGM, the Committee reviewed the proposed auditor’s remuneration to be appropriate.
The Committee has a policy in place that prohibits certain non-audit services from being undertaken by the external auditor in limited circumstances. A cumulative annual cap is imposed for non-audit services provided by our external auditor (save for acquisition due diligence), above which all engagements are subject to the Committee’s prior approval.
The Committee’s policy on non-audit services is to safeguard Deloitte’s independence and objectivity. Non-audit fees for services provided by Deloitte for the year amounted to £169,000 (2021: £71,000), with a proportion of these fees being in respect of the half-year review. In addition, non-audit services in the year included the engagement of Deloitte to provide assurance on the data collation and calculations used to meet the requirements to report on the Group’s environmental impacts.Non-audit services in the year also included the reporting accountant role performed by Deloitte in respect of the unsuccessful acquisition of a UK publicly listed company. Deloitte was considered best placed to support the Company in this role as a result of its extensive knowledge of the Group’s financial systems and processes, combined with its understanding of the reporting requirements in the UK and globally. The Audit Committee regularly reviews the independence of the external auditor, including non-audit service fee caps for the Group and the UK. Further details are included in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Directors’ Remuneration Report
Directors’ Remuneration Report
On behalf of the Remuneration Committee (‘the Committee’), I am pleased to present the Directors’ Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2022. This report sets out the work of the Committee during the year and provides context for the decisions taken.
The year has been challenging with the ongoing impact of macroeconomic factors and geopolitical uncertainty. Despite these challenges, the Group has delivered strong operational performance and continued to make progress against key strategic objectives and communicating ambitious strategic priorities for the coming years. Against this backdrop, the Committee has focused on ensuring that our employees are supported during this challenging time and that their reward has been managed responsibly and fairly.
This report sets out the remuneration outcomes for the year and provides context for the decisions taken. It details the structure and scale of our remuneration framework, its alignment with both the Group’s strategy and the wider workforce framework. Additionally, it sets out the decisions made by the Committee for 2022 and the intended arrangements for 2023.
2023 Remuneration Policy
We appreciated shareholder support and approval of the Group’s Remuneration Policy (the ‘Policy’) at the General Meeting in December 2022. I would like to thank our shareholders for their engagement. The Policy has been designed to support the Group’s remuneration strategy, which is to ensure that executive remuneration is competitive and fair, aligned with the Group’s performance and shareholder interests, and to support the delivery of the Group’s strategy. We have continued to engage with our employees and their representatives to ensure that our pay policies are understood and accepted. This has included extensive consultation with employees in relation to pay progression, and accelerating the 2023 pay increases for the lowest paid workers.
The Committee continues to be of the view that it is important to ensure that the remuneration of our Executive Directors remains competitive and is aligned with the market. We have also considered the need to ensure that the remuneration of our wider workforce is fair and equitable. A key element of the 2023 Remuneration Policy is to ensure pension parity across our business as part of the 2023 Remuneration Policy. I look forward to continuing the direct conversations with employees during 2023 about their remuneration and to ensure that appropriate support is directed towards those employees who are most impacted by the current economic climate.
Executive Director salary increases
In 2022, the Committee recommended a 5.5% salary increase for Andrew Heath, Chief Executive, and a 4.6% salary increase for Derek Harding, Chief Financial Officer. These increases were to enable his salary to reach market median. We received support for this approach from shareholders and from the plc Remuneration Committee Chairman for the staggered implementation of the increases. The Committee agreed to implement the increases across two tranches, in July 2022 and January 2023, to mitigate concerns around a single large salary increase by implementing the increase across two staged increases to allow for ongoing monitoring and review.
The Committee carefully considered the timing and quantum of the second salary increase for Andrew Heath. The Committee discussed and acknowledged the potential for Andrew’s salary to exceed the median following the second increase. However, the Committee unanimously agreed that implementing the second part of the prior commitment was appropriate and best serves the interests of the Group and its shareholders. In making this decision, we have considered the Group’s performance under Andrew Heath’s leadership. Andrew has now led the Group as Chief Executive for over four years. In that time, the Group has transformed significantly, moving from a £1.4bn market capitalisation to £3.1 billion.
The Committee considered Andrew Heath’s current salary relative to the median of the FTSE 250 industrial companies. His current salary remains below the median, and we continue to seek to position it at the median of this peer group. We have taken advice from external remuneration consultants on benchmarking and we have engaged with shareholders for engaging with us and supporting our remuneration policies. The Committee agreed that Andrew Heath’s salary increase will be phased, with an increase of 4.6% effective from 1 January 2023.
The Committee aims to ensure a balance between motivating and challenging our Executive Directors and senior management to deliver our business objectives and to ensure the sustainable success of the Group in the interests of all our stakeholders.
2022 Remuneration Wider employee pay arrangements
Following the easing of travel restrictions, the Committee visited several facilities during the year and hear their thoughts on pay as well as broader employee engagement issues. The Committee is committed to receive, and welcome, regular and detailed updates during the year relating to the Group’s wider pay arrangements and in particular the measures being taken across the Group to address the significant increase in the cost of living and its impact on employees. Key actions discussed with the Committee included:
- Annual pay awards of 4.0% for employees on the Panalytical pay scale, with effect from 1 January 2023.
- On target annual bonus for employees on the Panalytical pay scale, with effect from 1 January 2023, and introduction of discretionary, one-off bonuses for the lowest paid employees, who have been most impacted by the cost of living challenge.
- A one-off payment of £500 for UK employees earning less than £25,000 per annum in recognition of his vital role in the ongoing transformation of the Group into a more focused, higher quality, capital-light, cash-generative business supported by a very strong balance sheet.
The Committee believes that the salary of our Executive Directors should be positioned appropriately to secure the continuity of our management team, avoid salary compression below Board level and support long term succession planning. It is anticipated that Andrew’s salary post this increase will fall within the median for CEOs of FTSE 250 companies. The Committee discussed and acknowledged this possibility but feel comfortable, notwithstanding this risk, that his total compensation is now well aligned with the market.
The Committee aims for Andrew Heath’s salary to be positioned at the median of the FTSE 250 industrial companies. It is expected that any future salary increase awarded to the Chief Executive would be no higher than those awarded to the wider workforce.
The Committee has reviewed pay arrangements across the Group and the Executive Management team for 2023. Based on this review, the Committee agreed that Derek Harding’s salary is set at a competitive level against external benchmarks and his bonus opportunity is aligned to the wider employee population.
2022 Annual bonus outcome
The Group’s performance in 2022 resulted in an annual bonus payout of 48.6% of base salary for Andrew Heath and 40.1% of base salary for Derek Harding. The Committee has agreed that any outturn from the bonus will be deferred into shares. No discretion has been applied to the 2022 annual bonus outcome. Full details of the 2022 annual bonus performance outcome are set out on pages 89 and 90.
2022 LTIP grant
In March 2022, the Committee granted 23,401 LTIP awards to Andrew Heath and 16,874 LTIP awards to Derek Harding under the terms of the Group’s Remuneration Policy.
2020 – 2022 LTIP outcome
Both Executive Directors were granted a LTIP award in March 2020, vesting on 1 March 2023, subject to satisfying performance conditions related to Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Return on Group Capital Employed (ROGCE). The performance conditions for both EPS and ROGCE have been met and the shares will vest.
However, based on interim results as at 31 December 2022, the LTIP related multiplier did not meet the threshold performance targets for absolute TSR, despite the very strong relative TSR performance against the peer group during the period.
The Committee has considered the LTIP performance outcome in light of the Group’s strategy and the current market conditions. The Committee notes that the performance outcome reflects the high level of stretch that has been applied to the LTIP awards and demonstrates that the LTIP awards have been designed to incentivise long term value creation for shareholders. No discretion has been applied to the 2020 LTIP outcome. Full details of the 2020 LTIP performance outcome are set out on pages 89 and 90.
Review of windfall gains
Given the level of market volatility at the start of 2020, the Committee committed to reviewing the vesting outcome of the 2020 LTIP in order to ensure that the outcome did not include a windfall gain.# Directors’ Remuneration Report
After meaningful deliberation, the Committee concluded that the vesting and value delivered under the 2020 LTIP decision were:
* The 2020 LTIP, which delivered £67 million in value, has been considered by some shareholders as the point at which vesting was achieved.
* The level of the maximum opportunity is considered moderate in the context of the strong performance of the business over the performance period and does not result in excessive reward to participants. The Committee believes that the level of vesting and delivery of value under the 2020 LTIP has been appropriate and reflects the operational performance delivered by the leadership team and the wider participants in Spectris.
Taking these factors into consideration, the Committee concluded that the level of vesting and value delivered under the 2020 LTIP has been considered appropriate for the performance of the business, and value delivered in line with participants. The Committee concluded that the level of vesting and value delivered under the 2020 LTIP has been deemed appropriate.
2023 Remuneration outlook
The Remuneration Policy was reviewed by the Committee in February 2023 and confirmed. The Remuneration Policy and the Remuneration Committee’s terms of reference were also reviewed in February 2023 with increases taking effect from 1 April 2023, with further details set out on page 97. A summary of the planned implementation of the Policy in 2023 is set out below.
The Committee spent considerable time deliberating the right balance between policy, performance and pay outcomes and believes that the Policy and the proposed remuneration structure achieve this balance and the Committee therefore recommends this report to shareholders.
If you have any questions regarding the remuneration and incentive arrangements contained in the report, I would be happy to discuss them with you.

STRATEGIC REPORT GOVERNANCE
The Company’s remuneration policy is designed to support a range of the Company’s targeted strategic priorities.

PSP awards vested in March 2022 (audited)
PSP awards vested in March 2022 for Andrew Heath and Derek Harding following the three-year performance period. The vesting outcome reflects the Group’s performance against the three specified conditions (Group EPS, relative TSR, and absolute TSR).
The table below indicates the performance conditions and the respective vesting outcomes:
| Performance condition | Weighting | Vesting percentage of total award | Maximum (100% vesting) | Actual |

LTIP awards vesting in March 2023 (audited)
On 7 March 2023, the Andrew Heath, Derek Harding LTIP awards vested. On that date, Andrew Heath vested awards equal to approximately 68.9% and Derek Harding vested awards equal to approximately 51.7%. This reflects the Group’s performance against the two specified conditions (ROGCE) and absolute Total Shareholder Return (‘TSR’) targets.
The Group’s Remuneration Committee has determined that the vesting outcomes for the LTIP awards are appropriate in the context of the strong performance of the business over the performance period and the stretch of the performance conditions:
- The LTIP award made under the 2020 grant to Andrew Heath, which comprises of a 50% EPS condition and a 50% TSR condition, vested at 17.6% (EPS) and 17.8% (TSR) respectively. This performance outcome reflects a moderate level of vesting in the context of the strong performance of the business over the performance period and the stretch of the performance conditions, which are designed to deliver exceptional returns to shareholders.
- The LTIP award made under the 2020 grant to Derek Harding, which comprises of a 50% ROGCE condition and a 50% TSR condition, vested at 19.6% (ROGCE) and 17.8% (TSR) respectively. The Remuneration Committee agreed that the vesting outcome for the TSR multiplier (based on Aon’s interim report as at 31 December 2022) are provided below:
| Performance condition | Award level (% of salary) | Actual | Actual/ estimated percentage vesting | Actual/ estimated percentage of total vested award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS | 100% | 4% p.a. | 10% p.a. | 81.9% |
| ROGCE | 100% | 13.7% (2019 ROGCE +1%) | 15.7% (2019 ROGCE+3%) | 100.0% |
| TSR Multiplier | 80% (Up to 1.4X multiplier) | Gateway Estimated TSR 0.0% (1.0X multiplier) | Absolute TSR 8% p.a. | Relative TSR 1.0X |
Remuneration for FY2022 continued
Adjustment to performance metrics for disposals
- In order to account for material business divestments which occurred with more than one year remaining of the performance period, the base performance condition and outcomes have been adjusted to remove the impact of the disposed entities.
- In order to account for material business divestments which occurred with less than one year remaining of the performance period, the adjusted performance metric has been calculated for the remaining business, and for the divested business, the result reflects the performance up to the point of disposal of the divested business.

Spectris plc Annual Report and Accounts 2022 102
In line with the requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code to include explanation of the Company’s approach to investing in and rewarding its workforce, some of the work that the Remuneration Committee undertook during 2022 to ensure that remuneration continues to support the Company’s strategy, values and culture, is set out below.
Stakeholder Engagement Values and culture in remuneration
The Remuneration Committee has a duty to consider the interests of all stakeholders, including employees, shareholders and wider society. The remuneration framework for Executive Directors and Senior Management is designed to ensure that their interests are aligned with the long-term success of the Group and to support the Group’s values and culture. The framework is regularly reviewed to ensure it remains appropriate and effective.
The remuneration of the Executive Directors and Executive Committee members for 2022 was determined by reference to the Group’s strategic and operational objectives, the company’s values and culture, and the Group’s overall financial performance. In assessing performance against these targets, the Remuneration Committee considers a range of factors, including the overall economic environment, the performance of the Group’s underlying businesses, and the achievement of strategic goals.
The employee engagement survey was also used to obtain feedback from the workforce on remuneration and this will continue in future surveys.
Stakeholder views
The Remuneration Committee engages with shareholders and other stakeholders to understand their views on remuneration. In 2022, the Committee consulted with a number of significant shareholders regarding the Group’s remuneration structure, and the feedback received was taken into account when considering the remuneration of executive directors.
The Remuneration Committee consults with the Group's external remuneration adviser, Towers Watson, on remuneration matters. The Committee also considers the guidance issued by investors and investor bodies on remuneration.
The Remuneration Committee actively considers the alignment of remuneration with the Group's strategy and values. The Committee considers the extent to which remuneration arrangements support the Group’s long-term objectives and promote a sustainable and responsible business.
In particular, the Remuneration Committee considered the Group’s 2023 Remuneration Policy in the context of evolving market practice and investor expectations. The Committee engaged with the Group’s external remuneration adviser to ensure that the policy remains competitive and aligned with best practice.
The Committee has also given careful consideration to the guidance issued by investors and investor bodies on the management of executive remuneration and the alignment of pay with long-term shareholder interests.
Employee share ownership
Spectris is a proud advocate of employee share ownership. Due to the Group’s decentralised structure, particular importance is placed on aligning management in our businesses with the Group’s strategic objectives and shareholders’ interests. Employees in the UK are eligible to participate in the Sharesave scheme, which allows them to buy shares in the Company at a discounted price. For those employees who meet the eligibility criteria under the SIP, the Company awards one free Matching share.
Directors’ Remuneration Report 103
Gender pay gap reporting
The Group is required to report on its gender pay gap data for the UK workforce. However, the Committee considers the issue of gender pay to be a broader workforce remuneration matter and not solely an executive remuneration issue. The Committee therefore seeks to ensure that its remuneration policies and practices are fair and equitable for all employees, and that there are no gender-based pay disparities.
The Committee has reviewed the gender pay gap data and the driver for the gap is primarily due to the imbalance in the number of male and female employees in senior roles.
The Committee elected to use the data collated for the CEO pay ratio to produce a consistent gender pay gap disclosure which allows the Committee to analyse both key metrics from one source of data.
| Gender pay gap | Non-Management | Management | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median | Mean | Median | |
| Gender pay gap | 18.4% | 18.9% | 41.2% |
| Bonus gap | 18.8% | 18.1% | 53.1% |
| % receiving a bonus | 97.8% | 98.7% | 100.0% |
The Remuneration Committee has reviewed the gender pay gap disclosures for 2013, 2018 and 2019 and the provisions of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code.
Advisers to the Committee
Mercer was appointed as the Committee’s remuneration adviser and has been engaged to provide advice on remuneration matters. The Committee considers that Mercer operates with appropriate independence. During 2022, Mercer has provided advisory support to the Committee on various aspects of the Directors’ remuneration, including:
- advice on emerging external market practice and stakeholder expectations relating to the 2023 Remuneration Policy and forthcoming LTIP awards.
- advice on the benchmarking of executive remuneration for 2022 and 2023 awards, and
- advice on the interpretation of investor body guidelines concerning remuneration outcomes.
Mercer reports directly to the Committee Chairman. During 2022, Mercer also provided certain project advisory and tax services to the Company.
Both Mercer and Aon are members of the Remuneration Consultants Group and adhere to its Code of Conduct.
The Remuneration Committee obtains independent advice to support its decision making and ensure that its recommendations are fair and reasonable. The Committee maintains a clear process for obtaining advice, to ensure that it receives objective advice during 2022.
Annual performance evaluation
The Remuneration Committee undertakes an annual review of its effectiveness and performance. Following this review and the feedback received, the Committee considered that it had operated effectively during the year.
2023 Remuneration Committee workplan
The Remuneration Committee’s workplan for 2023 includes:
- the 2023 LTIP awards
- the 2023 bonus and LTIP outcomes, and
- monitoring of the Group’s Remuneration Policy against the Group’s strategy, market practice, changes in the external governance environment and investor guidance.

Summary of Our Audit Approach
Key Audit Matters
The following are the Key Audit Matters communicated in our report.
Revenue Recognition
- Revenue recognition
- Audit Approach: We tested the application of the Group’s revenue recognition policy by selecting a sample of revenue transactions across different business units and geographic locations. We examined underlying contracts and supporting documentation to verify that revenue was recognized in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy and the relevant accounting standards. We also performed analytics procedures to identify any unusual trends or outliers in revenue recognition. We tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls relating to revenue recognition. Our procedures included testing the valuation of deferred revenue and accrued income. We agreed revenue recognized to underlying contracts and performance obligations.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
- Intangible asset arising from the acquisition of Concurrent Real Time as a going concern
-
Audit Approach: We assessed the valuation of the intangible asset recognized from the acquisition of Concurrent Real Time. We evaluated the assumptions used in the valuation model, including discount rates, projected cash flows, and other relevant assumptions, and compared them to historical performance and external market data where available. We assessed the appropriateness of the amortization period.
-
Goodwill and other intangible assets
- Audit Approach: We assessed the impairment testing performed by management on goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. We evaluated management’s identification of cash-generating units, its determination of fair value less costs of disposal for those units, and the assumptions used in their calculations, including projections of future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. We also considered the acquisitive nature of the Group’s operations.
Our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern
In auditing the consolidated financial statements, we have concluded that the use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is appropriate. Our conclusions are based on the relevant audit procedures performed and the audit evidence obtained.
Our procedures included:
* assessing the forecasts by reference to historical performance, trading run rate, and other supporting evidence, such as business disposal agreements and the current macroeconomic environment;
* recalculating and assessing the amount of cash and covenant headroom in the forecasts; and
* assessing the impact of a potential reduction in revenue and associated margin on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We have also concluded, based on the audit evidence obtained, that nothing has come to our attention to indicate that the assumptions used in the forecasts are not reasonable or that the forecasts themselves are not appropriate. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted with certainty, this conclusion is not a guarantee that the Company will continue as a going concern.
Our Application of Materiality
Qualitative Considerations
We assessed the materiality of items where the magnitude of the error, omission or misstatement is such that it is probable that it would influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements. In assessing materiality, we consider both quantitative and qualitative factors. Qualitative factors considered include:
* The nature of the item, e.g., an error in a related party transaction or an illegal act.
* The effect of the item on key performance indicators, e.g., revenue, earnings per share and other measures.
* The effect of the item on compliance with regulatory requirements, loan covenants and other contractual arrangements.
* The impact of the item on trends and changes in trends.
* The potential for the item to mask a change in trends or earnings.
* The effect of the item on management compensation.
Quantitative Considerations
We determined materiality for the audit of the consolidated financial statements to be £28 million, representing 2.5% of Adjusted EBITDA. In our prior year, materiality was set at £31 million, representing 3.0% of Adjusted EBITDA.
We selected Adjusted EBITDA as our primary quantitative benchmark for performance measures as it is a key performance measure for management, investors and the users of the financial statements. We consider net assets to be the secondary quantitative benchmark.
Spectris plc Consolidated Financial Statements and the Group’s Adjusted EBITDA Performance Measures
| Metric | 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted EBITDA | £1,119 million | £1,035 million |
We have also considered materiality at the performance measure level. Adjusted EBITDA is a relevant measure for management, investors and other users of the financial statements as it is widely used to assess the financial and operating performance of the Group. We have set performance materiality for Adjusted EBITDA at £21 million.
Other Information
We have read the other information included in the Company’s Annual Report and Accounts. Our audit of the financial statements does not cover this other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

Conclusions Relating to Going Concern
In auditing the consolidated financial statements, we have concluded that the use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is appropriate. Our conclusions are based on the relevant audit procedures performed and the audit evidence obtained.
Our procedures included:
* assessing the forecasts by reference to historical performance, trading run rate, and other supporting evidence, such as business disposal agreements and the current macroeconomic environment;
* recalculating and assessing the amount of cash and covenant headroom in the forecasts; and
* assessing the impact of a potential reduction in revenue and associated margin on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We have also concluded, based on the audit evidence obtained, that nothing has come to our attention to indicate that the assumptions used in the forecasts are not reasonable or that the forecasts themselves are not appropriate. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted with certainty, this conclusion is not a guarantee that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Our application of materiality
We assessed the materiality of items where the magnitude of the error, omission or misstatement is such that it is probable that it would influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements. In assessing materiality, we consider both quantitative and qualitative factors. Qualitative factors considered include:
* The nature of the item, e.g., an error in a related party transaction or an illegal act.
* The effect of the item on key performance indicators, e.g., revenue, earnings per share and other measures.
* The effect of the item on compliance with regulatory requirements, loan covenants and other contractual arrangements.
* The impact of the item on trends and changes in trends.
* The effect of the item on management compensation.
We determined materiality for the audit of the consolidated financial statements to be £28 million, representing 2.5% of Adjusted EBITDA. In the prior year, materiality was set at £31 million, representing 3.0% of Adjusted EBITDA.
We selected Adjusted EBITDA as our primary quantitative benchmark for performance measures as it is a key performance measure for management, investors and the users of the financial statements. We consider net assets to be the secondary quantitative benchmark.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of this report.
Critical Audit Matters
In planning and performing our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we considered the Group's internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) as a basis for designing our auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s ICFR.
Our audit of the consolidated financial statements was performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud.
Critical Audit Matters (Continued)
- Existence and valuation of intangible assets; and
- Completeness and valuation of provisions.
The following are the critical audit matters (CAMs) to be communicated in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). CAMs are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that involved especially challenging, subjective or complex auditor judgment. The manner in which we addressed the CAM is the response to the CAM; and does not affect our conclusion on the consolidated financial statements.
We are required to describe any CAMs in our report in order to provide further information about the most significant matters in the audit.
Critical Audit Matters (Continued)
We are required to describe the nature and rationale for the identification of each CAM, and how the audit procedures performed addressed that CAM.
| Critical Audit Matter # Responsibilities of directors
The responsibilities of directors include the responsibility to ensure that the parent company's consolidated financial statements present a true and fair view and are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the United Kingdom, and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to the financial statements of a holding company. In addition, they are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. As stated in the "Basis for opinion" section of our auditor's report, the audit was conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) as issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section of our auditor's report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we have a responsibility to report on the following matters if so required by the Companies Act 2006. We are required by the Financial Reporting Council to report in terms of our opinion on the directors’ remuneration report. We are also required to report on the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and error.
11. Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
The audit of financial statements in accordance with ISAs (UK) is designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. The auditor’s responsibilities for detecting fraud and error are similar to those for detecting material misstatements due to error. However, audits are not designed to detect all fraud or error. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we have a responsibility to report on the following matters if so required by the Companies Act 2006. We are required by the Financial Reporting Council to report in terms of our opinion on the directors’ remuneration report. We are also required to report on the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and error.
Our audit is designed to address the risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error. The extent to which our audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, relates to the following:
- the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance
- the group’s exposure to and the nature of the group’s financial instruments, significant financial assets and liabilities, and related party transactions;
- remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets;
- internal control systems and business activities
- the extent of any internal audit work and the extent to which the audit of the Parent Company’s financial information, including the consolidated financial information, has been facilitated by the work of the Parent Company’s management and internal audit functions;
- whether the Parent Company’s internal control systems are operating effectively in practice.
- management and internal control systems
- the extent of any internal audit work and the extent to which the audit of the Parent Company’s financial information, including the consolidated financial information, has been facilitated by the work of the Parent Company’s management and internal audit functions;

- management and internal control systems
- the extent of any internal audit work and the extent to which the audit of the Parent Company’s financial information, including the consolidated financial information, has been facilitated by the work of the Parent Company’s management and internal audit functions;

- the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance
- the group’s exposure to and the nature of the group’s financial instruments, significant financial assets and liabilities, and related party transactions;
- remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets;
- internal control systems and business activities
- the extent of any internal audit work and the extent to which the audit of the Parent Company’s financial information, including the consolidated financial information, has been facilitated by the work of the Parent Company’s management and internal audit functions;
- whether the Parent Company’s internal control systems are operating effectively in practice.
- management and internal control systems
- the extent of any internal audit work and the extent to which the audit of the Parent Company’s financial information, including the consolidated financial information, has been facilitated by the work of the Parent Company’s management and internal audit functions;

Our audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The auditor’s responsibilities for detecting fraud and error are similar to those for detecting material misstatements due to error. However, audits are not designed to detect all fraud or error. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Our audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The auditor’s responsibilities for detecting fraud and error are similar to those for detecting material misstatements due to error. However, audits are not designed to detect all fraud or error. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we have a responsibility to report on the following matters if so required by the Companies Act 2006. We are required by the Financial Reporting Council to report in terms of our opinion on the directors’ remuneration report. We are also required to report on the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and error.

1. Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Basis of preparation
a) Basis of accounting
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for items that are required by International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) to be measured at fair value, principally certain financial instruments.# The Consolidated Financial Statements
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and UK adopted IFRSs. The Consolidated Financial Statements set out on pages 116 to 166 have been prepared using consistent accounting policies. In the current year there are no new standards and interpretations that have had a material impact on the Group’s Statement of Financial Position.
These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions of Sterling rounded to the nearest one decimal place.
Basis of consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements set out the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 and the Group’s financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2022, which incorporate the Financial Statements of Spectris plc and its subsidiaries and include its share of the results of associates using the equity method of accounting. The Group recognises its direct rights to (and its share of) jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations under the appropriate headings in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
i. Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by another entity, known as the parent or investor (such as the Group). An investor controls an investee when the investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are consolidated from and up to the date of change of control. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries have been aligned with the policies adopted by the Group. All intra-group balances and transactions including any gains or losses, income or expenses of joint operations are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the amount of the assets (including goodwill and intangibles) and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.
All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains except that they are only eliminated to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
ii. Associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these Financial Statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS# Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
3. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management
The Group finances its operations from retained earnings and, where appropriate, from third-party borrowings. The total bank borrowings as at 31 December 2022 amounts to £0.1 million (2021: £nil).
As at 31 December 2022, the Group had £414.9 million of committed facilities, consisting entirely of a $150 million multi-currency revolving credit facility (‘the RCF’) maturing in July 2025. The RCF was undrawn at 31 December 2022 (2021: undrawn).
The RCF has a leverage (covenant defined net debt/EBITDA) covenant of up to 3.5x. The Group regularly monitors its financial position to ensure that it remains within the terms of its banking covenants.
At 31 December 2022, there was net finance income for covenant purposes of £0.1 million, resulting in the interest cover ratio being n/a (31 December 2021: 67 times). The minimum covenant interest cover requirement is 3.75 times (covenant defined earnings before interest, tax and amortisation divided by net finance charges). Leverage (covenant defined earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation divided by net cash) was less than zero (31 December 2021: less than zero), due to the Group’s net cash position, against a maximum permitted leverage of 3.5 times.
In addition to the above, at 31 December 2022, the Group had a cash and cash equivalent balance of £228.1 million. The Group also had various uncommitted facilities and bank overdraft facilities available. Gross debt was £0.1 million, resulting in a net cash position of £228.0 million, an increase of £60.2 million from £167.8 million at 31 December 2021.
Going Concern
The Group has prepared and reviewed cash flow forecasts for the period to 31 December 2027, which reflect forecasted changes in revenue across its businesses and performed a reverse stress test of the forecast to determine the extent of downturn which would result in insufficient liquidity or a breach of banking covenants. Revenue would have to reduce by 31% over the period under review for the Group to run out of liquidity headroom. The reverse stress test does not take into account further mitigating actions which the Group would implement in the event of a severe and extended revenue decline, such as cancelling the dividend or reducing capital expenditure. This assessment indicates that the Group can operate within the level of its current facilities, as set out above, without the need to obtain any new facilities for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report.
4. Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
Investments in Associates
Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is recognised initially in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.
An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investor becomes an associate. On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
Joint Operations
Joint arrangements are contractual arrangements which the Group has entered into with one or more parties to undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control.Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. As a result, the Group recognises its interests in the joint operation, including its share of any assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the joint operation. The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the IFRS Standards applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. When a Group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a Group entity is a joint operator (such as a purchase of assets), the Group does not recognise its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party.
Notes to the Accounts
Spectris plc
120 Notes to the Accounts
Following this assessment, the Board of Directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operation for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in relation to this conclusion and preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. There are no key sensitivities identified in relation to this conclusion. Further information on the going concern of the Group can be found on page 39 in the Viability Statement.
Climate risks reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared with full consideration of both physical and transitional risks resulting from climate change, our journey towards achieving our net zero ambition and in accordance with our Task Force for Climate Change Related Financial Disclosures (‘TCFD’) report.
In conjunction with our net zero ambition and TCFD report a review has been performed in the following areas that are deemed most at-risk of being impacted by climate change:
Going concern – The Group has reviewed sensitivities to future cash flows and discount rates aligned with our principal risks and uncertainties. The review covered sensitivities with respect to potential loss of revenue, associated profits and cash flows due to Spectris, its customers and/or its suppliers making different choices in the achievement of net zero objectives, the potential impact that moving to a more sustainable supply chain may have on profits and cashflows, and the cash flows of mitigating potential physical risks, such as potential site moves resulting from increased water levels.
Intangible assets – The Group has assessed future economic benefits, predominantly technology related to our product portfolio and the transition risk to our scope 1 and 2 net zero ambitions. This incorporates any known change or potential change from our customers in our scope 3 ambitions.
Property, plant & equipment, remeasurement of leases and intangible assets – The Group has reviewed the useful economic life of these non-current assets with respect to the physical risk of our sites resulting from flooding and the transition to carbon neutrality and has validated that all of our property, plant and equipment, lease right of use assets and intangible assets have been checked to ensure that useful economic lives are in line with current and foreseeable transition plans.
Inventories and associated provision for obsolescence – The Group has performed reviews taking into account the potential risks and subsequent impact of transitioning our product range to the use of sustainable raw materials and having considered the support to our customers and suppliers in achieving their scope 3 ambitions.
For all the aforementioned climate risks, the Group considers that it is too early to foresee any adjustment to carry forward carrying value for the year ended 31 December 2022 and that the sensitivities used to test going concern adequately cover foreseeable risks.
New standards and interpretations adopted
In the current year there are no new standards and interpretations that have had a material impact on the Group’s Statement of Financial Position.
New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted
At 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 are not yet effective:
Amendments to IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment – proceeds before intended use
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020 Cycle
Amendments to IFRS 1 first-time adoption of international financial reporting standards, IFRS 9 financial instruments, IFRS 16 leases, and IAS 41 agriculture

Significant accounting judgements and estimates
In determining and applying accounting policies, judgement is of ten required where the choice of specific policy, assumption or accounting estimate to be followed could materially affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, should it be determined that a different choice be more appropriate. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of COVID-19 and climate change on the Group.
Critical accounting judgements
There are no critical accounting judgements at 31 December 2022.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Management considers the following to be the source of estimation uncertainty for the Group at the end of the current reporting period due to the risk of causing a material change to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next year.
i) Retirement benefit plans
Accounting for retirement benefit plans under IAS 19 (revised) requires an assessment of the future benefits payable in accordance with actuarial assumptions. The discount rate and rate of
| Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements | Spectris plc |

|---|---|---|---|
Recoverable amount of assets
The estimate of recoverable amount requires significant assumptions to be made and is based on a number of factors, such as the near-term business outlook for the CGU, including both its scope operating profit and operating cash flow performance. Where the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Where goodwill forms part of a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained.
Intangible assets and amortisation
The cost of acquiring software (including associated implementation costs where applicable) that is not specific to an item of property and equipment is classified as an intangible asset. The Group only capitalises costs relating to the configuration and customisation of SaaS arrangements as intangible assets where control of the software exists.
Self-funded research and development costs are charged to the Consolidated Income Statement in the year in which they are incurred, unless development expenditure meets certain strict criteria for capitalisation. These criteria include demonstration of the technical feasibility, intention of completing a new intangible asset that is separable, the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase and that the asset will generate probable future economic benefits. From the point where expenditure meets the criteria, development costs are capitalised and amortised over the useful economic lives of the assets to which they relate.
Intangible assets arising from a business combination that are separable from goodwill are recognised initially at fair value at the date of acquisition. Other acquired intangible assets (including software not specific to an item of property, plant and equipment) are initially recognised at cost (plus any associated implementation costs where applicable). Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits, otherwise it is expensed as incurred.
Amortisation of intangible assets is charged to administrative expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful economic life (determined on an asset-by-asset basis) or contractual life. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates being accounted for on a prospective basis.The estimated useful lives are as follows:
* software – three to seven years;
* operating assets, contractual rights and technology – up to 11 years, dependent upon the nature of the underlying operating lease; and
* focus customer-related and trade name assets – three to 20 years, dependent upon the payment upon the underlying operating contractual arrangement and specific circumstances such as customer retention experience. An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefit is expected from use or disposal. Retail price inflation (‘RPI’) assumptions applied in the calculation of pension liabilities represent a key source of estimation uncertainty for the Group. Details of the related sensitivities are set out on page 146 and the accounting policies applied in respect of retirement benefit plans are set out on page 126.
Climate change is referred to in the Risk Management and Sustainability sections of the Strategic Report. Spectris is well placed to embrace this global challenge and, although we acknowledge the risks to businesses and trades, we do not consider climate change creates any further key sources of estimation uncertainty at this time.
b) Summary of significant accounting policies
All accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by Group entities to all years presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Business combinations and goodwill
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Group and the liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date. Transaction costs on a business combination are expensed as incurred in the Consolidated Income Statement and treated as an adjusting item for the purposes of alternative performance measures (see appendix to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration for the interests in a subsidiary over the Group's share of identifiable net assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. Where the fair value of the Group’s share of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration, the difference is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement. Contingent consideration is initially recognised as a liability with changes to estimates of contingent consideration reflected in operating profit unless they occur during the 12-month measurement period, in which situation the amount of goodwill recognised on the acquisition is adjusted if they are the result of obtaining additional information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. Adjustments to contingent consideration are treated as an adjusting item for the purposes of alternative performance measures (see appendix to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a business is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is not amortised, and any impairment losses are not subsequently reversed. The net book value of goodwill at the date of transition to IFRS has been treated as deemed cost. On the subsequent disposal or discontinuance of a previously acquired business, the relevant goodwill is dealt with in the Consolidated Income Statement except for the goodwill already charged to reserves.
Goodwill is allocated on acquisition to cash generating units (‘CGUs’) that are anticipated to benefit from the combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the goodwill relates and comparing it against the net book value. This estimate of recoverable amount is determined annually and additionally when there is an indication that a CGU may be impaired. The Group’s identified CGUs are equivalent to or smaller than the reportable operating segments in note 2.
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost comprise the purchase price paid and any costs directly attributable to bringing it into working condition for its intended use. Intangible assets arising from a business combination are recognised initially at fair value at the date of acquisition.
Depreciation is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement on a straight-line basis to write off the cost, less its estimated residual value (which is reviewed annually) of property, plant and equipment over its estimated useful economic life.# Depreciation
Depreciation commences on the date the assets are available for use, and the asset carrying values are reviewed for impairment when there is an indication that they may be impaired. The depreciation charge is revised where useful lives are different from those previously estimated, or where technically obsolete assets are required to be written down. Where parts of an item of plant and equipment have separate lives, they are accounted for and depreciated as separate items. Land is not depreciated.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
- freehold and long leasehold property – 20 to 40 years;
- short leasehold property – over the period of the lease; and
- plant and equipment – three to 20 years.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset.
Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment
At each reporting date, the Group reviews its intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Leases
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payment as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: fixed lease payments (including in substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives; variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. When the Group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the conditions required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and measured under IAS 37. The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever: the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is re-measured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate; the lease payments have changed due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guarantee or residual value, in which case the lease liability is re-measured by discounting the revised payments using a revised discount rate; or the lease payments have changed due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guarantee or residual value, in which case the lease liability is re-measured by discounting the revised payments using a revised discount rate.lease payments using the initial discount rate; or a lease contract is modified, in which case the lease liability is re-measured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. The interest portion of lease payments is presented under financing activities in Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Notes to the Accounts
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables principally comprise amounts outstanding for trade purchases and ongoing costs. These are recognised at the amounts expected to be paid to counterparties and subsequently held at amortiscost.
Provisions
A provision is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the Group has a present legal or construcctive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resour, that can be reliably measured, will be required to settle the obligation. In respect of warranties, a provision is recognised when the underlying producervices are sold. Provisions are recognised at an amount equal to the best ess expect of the expenditure required to settle the Group’s liability. A contingent liability is disclosed where the existence of the obligation will only be confirmed by future events or where the amount of the ob ligation cannot be measured with reasonable reliability. Contingent assets are not recognised but are discloseonomic benefit is probable. Obligations arising from restructuring plans are recognised when detailed formal plans have been established and when there is a valid expectation that such a plan will be carried out.
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises both current and deferred ta

substantively enacted or substantively enacted or substantively enacted or substantively enacted or substantively enacted or substantively enacted or# Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are carried at original invoice amount (which is considered a reasonable proxy for fair value) and are subsequently held at amortised cost, less any impairment provision for impairment. The provision for impairment of receivables is based on lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are calculated by assessing historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors specific to the receivable and operating company. The movement in the provision is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits held on call or with maturities of less than three months at inception. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash equivalents for the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Assets, Liabilities and Disposal Groups Held for Sale
Assets, liabilities and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Assets, liabilities and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition and when management is committed to the sale, which is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest in it after the sale.
When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving disposal of an investment in an associate or, a portion of an investment in an associate, the investment, or the portion of the investment in the associate that will be disposed of is classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met. The Group then ceases to apply the equity method in relation to the portion that has not been classified as held for sale. Any retained portion of an investment in an associate that has not been classified as held for sale continues to be accounted for using the equity method.
Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of intra-group dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for each entity in the Group is determined with reference to the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date. Exchange gains and losses on settlement of foreign currency transactions are determined using the rate prevailing at the date of the transactions, or the translation of monetary assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates and are charged/credited to the Consolidated Income Statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at historical cost are translated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction.
On consolidation, the Income Statement items of subsidiaries are translated into Sterling at average rates of exchange. Statement of Financial Position items are translated into Sterling at year-end exchange rates. Exchange differences on the retranslation are taken to the translation reserve within equity. Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings designated as a hedge of the Group’s exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. All other exchange differences are charged or credited to the Consolidated Income Statement in the year in which they arise. On disposal of an overseas subsidiary, any cumulative exchange movement relating to that subsidiary held in the translation reserve are transferred to the Consolidated Income Statement.
Derivatives
Derivative financial instruments may be purchased to hedge the Group’s exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. The accounting policies applied in these circumstances are described below. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.# Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value of consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are measured at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective-interest basis.
Finance costs
Finance costs comprise the interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective-interest method, the unwinding of discount factor on lease liabilities and the unwinding of discount factor on deferred or contingent consideration. Financial income comprises interest income on cash and invested funds, together with interest from the joint venture, and is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement as it accrues. The net gain or loss on retranslation of short-term inter-company loan balances is also presented within net finance costs.
Financial instruments Recognition
The Group recognises its financial assets and liabilities on it becoming a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Measurement
When financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised, they are measured at fair value, being the consideration given or received plus directly attributable transaction costs. In determining estimated fair value, investments are valued at quoted bid prices on the trade date. When quoted prices in an active market are not available, fair value is determined by reference to price quotations for similar instruments traded. In determining fair value for deferred contingent consideration, the fair value is determined by best estimates of the likely outcome.
Originated loans and receivables
Originated loans and receivables are initially recognised in accordance with the policy stated above and subsequently re-measured at amortised cost using the effective-interest method. Allowance for impairment is estimated on a case-by-case basis.
Derivatives
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge risks associated with foreign exchange fluctuations. These are designated as cash flow hedges. At inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument that is used in a hedging relationship is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is deferred in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Amounts deferred in equity
Amounts deferred in equity are reclassified to the Consolidated Income Statement in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, in the same line of the Consolidated Income Statement as the recognised hedged item. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability. When hedge accounting is discontinued any cumulative gain or loss deferred in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in equity is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Notes to the Accounts
Employee benefits
The Group operates defined benefit post-retirement benefit plans and defined contribution pension plans.
Defined benefit plans
The Group’s net obligation recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan as the present value of the plan’s liabilities less the fair value of the plan’s assets. The operating and financing costs of defined benefit plans are recognised separately in the Consolidated Income Statement.Operating costs comprise the current service cost, plan administrative expenses, and interest on the net assets. Any gains or losses on settlement of prior or curtailment settlements, and past service costs where benefits have vested. Finance items comprise the effect of the unwinding of the discount on the net assets. Actuarial gains or losses comprising of changes in plans’ liabilities due to experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The amount of any pension fund asset recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is limited to any future refunds from the plan or the present value of reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays a 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 in the Income Statement in the period during which services are rendered by employees.
In certain countries, the Group participates in industry-wide defined benefit pension arrangements. In such circumstances, it is not possible to determine the amount of any surplus or deficit attributable to the Group and its pension costs are accounted for as if the arrangement was a defined contribution plan. These are not material to the Group and, accordingly, no additional disclosures are provided.
Short-term benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash benefits or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Share-based payments
Certain employees of the Group receive part of their remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights to shares (equity-settled transactions). The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured at fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of share awards with market-related vesting conditions is determined by an external consultant and the fair value at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. The estimate of the number of awards likely to vest is reviewed at each Consolidated Statement of Financial Position reporting date up to the vesting date, at which point the estimate is adjusted to reflect the actual outcome of awards which have vested. No adjustment is made to the fair value after the vesting date even if the awards are forfeited or not exercised.
Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognised when the Group loses control over the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset. This occurs when the rights are realised, expire or are surrendered. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Originated loans and receivables are derecognised on the date they are transferred by the Group.
Investments in debt instruments
The Group’s investment in debt instruments consists of a Vendor Loan Note Receivable. The Vendor Loan Note Receivable was initially recognised at fair value, being the consideration received. The Vendor Loan Note Receivable is measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.
Investments in equity instruments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income
On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments as at fair value through other comprehensive income. Designation at fair value through other comprehensive income is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination.
Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.
An investment in equity instrument is held for trading if:
• it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
• on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
• it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).# Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the retained earnings reserve. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, it is transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends from investments in equity instruments designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in profit and loss in the period of disposal, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at each Consolidated Statement of Financial Position reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset, or group of financial assets, is impaired. A financial asset, or group of financial assets, is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. For trade receivables, the Group recognises impairment provisions based on lifetime expected credit losses.

Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

Share-based payments
Where it is not possible to incentivize managers of the Group’s platforms/operating companies with equity-settled options, they are issued with cash-settled options. A liability is recognised for the services acquired, measured initially at the fair value of the liability. The charge for these share-based awards is adjusted at each reporting date, with any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss, to reflect the expected and actual level of options that vest, and the fair value is based on either the share price at date of exercise or the share price at the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date if sooner.
Own shares
Own equity instruments which are re-acquired (own shares) are recognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid to acquire such equity instruments is recognised within equity.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are approved by shareholders.
Revenue
Revenue is measured based on the fair value of the consideration specified in a contract with a customer, net of returns and discounts, and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, value added tax and other sales-related taxes. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer.
The Group’s major revenue streams are the same as its reporting segments (Spectris Scientific, Spectris Dynamics, and Other non-reportable segments).
The following table provides further details on the nature of each of the major revenue streams. The table shows where each revenue factor forms more than 10% of the total 2022 Group sales:
| Revenue stream | % of total Group sales |
|---|---|
| Revenue derived from: | |
| Provision of services | |
| Sale of goods without installation | |
| Sale of goods with simple installation | |
| Sale of goods with complex installation | |
| Spectris Scientific | 50% |
| Spectris Dynamics | 37% |
| Other | 13% |
Further details of the nature of each major revenue stream are provided in the following section.
Spectris Scientific
Revenue from the provision of services, including ongoing support, servicing and maintenance, is recognised in line with the delivery of the service, either at a point in time or, for some ongoing services, over time.
Revenue from the sale of goods, where the goods are not required to be installed, is recognised at a point in time when control of the goods has transferred. This may occur, depending on the individual customer terms, when the product is transferred to a freight carrier, or when the customer has received the product.
When the sale of goods is combined with installation, revenue recognition depends upon the nature of the installation. Simple installations are those which the customer perceives as a separate performance obligation within the overall contract to deliver goods, whereas complex installations are those for which the installation is an integral part of the delivery of the goods.
Revenue is recognised for simple installations separately from the delivery of goods, and only at a point in time when the installation has occurred.
For complex installations, revenue is normally deferred until installation is complete.# 2. Operating segments
The Group’s reportable segments are described below. In 2022, the Group’s reportable operating segments have changed following the reorganisation of the Group’s businesses announced at the Capital Markets Day in October 2022. The new segmental divisional structure reflects the current internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (considered to be the Board) on a regular basis to assist in making decisions on capital allocation to each segment and to assess performance. The tables in this note show restated comparative figures for the reportable operating segments for the year ended 31 December 2021, reflecting the impact of changes the Group made to its operating segment structures during the year ended 31 December 2022. The segment results include an allocation of head office expenses, where the costs are attributable to a segment. Costs of running the PLC are reported separately as Group costs.
The Omegama business, which had previously been disclosed as a reportable segment, has now been classified as a discontinued operation under IFRS 5, following the completion of its disposal on 1 July 2022 and therefore excluded from the segmental analysis. As a result, the financial data for the year ended 31 December 2021 has also been represented to show continuing operations where required by IFRS 5, including a reclassification of head office expenses that had previously been allocated to the Omegama segment to the continuing reportable segments. Further details of discontinued operations are provided in note 24.
The following summarises the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments:
- Spectris Scientific provides advanced measurement and materials characterisation, accelerating innovation and efficiency in R&D and manufacturing. The operating companies in this segment are Malvern Panalytical and Particle Measuring Systems;
- Spectris Dynamics provides differentiated sensing, data acquisition, analysis modelling and simulation solutions to help customers accelerate product development and enhance product performance;
- The Other non-reportable segments are a portfolio of high-value precision in-line sensing and monitoring businesses. The operating companies in this segment in 2022 are Red Lion Controls and Servotronix. In 2021 Brüel & Kjær Vibro (disposed 1 March 2021), ESG Solutions (disposed 3 May 2021), Millbrook (disposed 2 February 2021) and NDC Technologies (disposed 1 November 2021) are also included in Other non-reportable segments.
- Group costs consists of costs of running the PLC.
Spectris Dynamics
Revenue from the provision of services, including ongoing support, servicing and maintenance, is recognised in line with the delivery of the service, either at a point in time or, for some ongoing services, over time.
Revenue from the sale of goods, where the goods are not required to be installed, is recognised at a point in time when control of the goods has transferred. This may occur, depending on the individual customer terms, when the product is transferred to a freight carrier, or when the customer has received the product.
For a small number of complex installations, revenue is recognised before installation when: a) a significant period of time has elapsed since completion of the product and b) an installation date has not been agreed despite multiple attempts to arrange; and c) payment has been received from the customer. Judgement is required for these installations. Revenue from these arrangements represents approximately 2% of the segment’s total sales.
Occasionally, the initial contract covers both the supply of goods and ongoing support, servicing and maintenance. For such contracts, revenue is allocated across each of the individual components in line with their relative price and value of the performance obligation and each element is accounted for as described above.
Payment is normally due at the point that the performance obligation is completed. For some of the segment’s businesses, the customer may make partial payment in advance. Such payments are recognised as contract liabilities until the performance obligation has been satisfied.
Sales-related warranties associated with the products cannot be purchased separately and they serve as an assurance that the products sold comply with agreed-upon specifications.

Revenue disaggregation
The Group derives its revenue from the provision of goods and services both at a point in time and over time. Product lines are presented consistent with the revenue information that is disclosed for each reportable segment under IFRS 8 (see note 2). The tables below show updated comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2021, reflecting the impact of the changes the Group made to its operating segment reporting during the year ended 31 December 2022 (see note 2).
IFRS 15, paragraph 114, requires an entity to disaggregate revenue recognised from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. This disaggregation will depend on the entity’s individual facts and circumstances. The Group has assessed that the disaggregation of revenue by reportable operating segments is appropriate in meeting this disclosure requirement as this is the information regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in order to evaluate the financial performance of the entity. The Group also believes that presenting a disaggregation of revenue based on the timing of transfer of goods or services provides users of the Financial Statements with useful information as to the nature and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.
Timing of revenue recognition from continuing operations
| 2022 £m | 2021 £m | |
|---|---|---|
| At a point in time: | ||
| Spectris Scientific | 577.6 | 458.8 |
| Spectris Dynamics | 432.1 | 370.9 |
| Others | 177.4 | 204.0 |
| Total | 1,187.1 | 1,033.7 |
| Over time: | ||
| Spectris Scientific | 80.2 | 72.4 |
| Spectris Dynamics | 60.1 | 54.6 |
| Others | – | 2.3 |
| Total | 140.3 | 129.3 |
| Revenue from continuing operations | 1,327.4 | 1,163.0 |
The Group’s material revenue streams have an expected duration of one year or less. The Group has therefore applied the practical expedient in IFRS 15, paragraph 121, to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations.
No individual customer accounts for more than 1% of external revenue in 2022 (2021: 1%).
Total revenue for the Group from continuing operations, after including financial income of £10.9m (2021: £12.8m) (see note 6), was £1,329.3m (2021: £1,175.8m).

The net finance charge of £17.3m (2021: £7.4m credit) includes £14.6m of unrealised losses on inter-company loan balances (2021: gain of £2.2m). This is a consequence of the significant volatility of Sterling against the US Dollar and Euro, particularly in the second half of 2022.

The standard rate of corporation tax for the year, based on the weighted average of tax rates applied to the Group’s profits, is 23.8% (2021: 25.4%). The tax charge for the year is higher (2021: lower) than the tax charge using the standard rate of corporation tax for the reasons set out in the following reconciliation:
| 2022 £m | 2021 £m | |
|---|---|---|
| Profit before taxation from continuing operations | 151.5 | 373.8 |
| Corporation tax charge at standard rate of 23.8% (2021: 25.4%) | 36.1 | 94.9 |
| Profit on disposal of businesses taxed at lower rate | (0.1) | (46.5) |

| Tax credits and incentives | (7.6) | (6.0) |
| Adjustments to prior year current and deferred tax charges | (0.8) | (0.6) |
| Taxation charge | 36.7 | 38.2 |
The Group’s standard rate of corporation tax of 23.8% is lower than the prior year rate (25.4%), principally due to profits being made in countries with lower statutory tax rates.
The ‘Profit on disposal of businesses taxed at lower rate’ in the prior year principally refers to the benefit of tax exemptions for the profit of shares in certain countries.
‘Other non-deductible expenditure’ in the current year includes the £3.4m impact of non-deductible foreign exchange losses. In 2021 the impact of non-taxable foreign exchange gains was (£1.1m).
‘Tax credits and incentives’ above, refers principally to research and development tax credits and other reliefs for innovation, such as the UK Patent Box regime and Dutch Innovation Box regime, as well as tax reliefs available for Foreign Derived Intangible Income in the US.
Factors that may affect the future tax charge
The Group’s tax charge in future years is likely to be affected by the proportion of profits arising, and the effective tax rates, in the various territories in which the Group operates, as well as changes in tax law affecting future periods. Such law changes may affect the availability or amount of existing tax reliefs or incentives. Furthermore, future tax or other legal cases or investigations may result in a re-assessment of the Group’s tax liabilities in respect of prior years.

The proposed final dividend is subject to approval by shareholders at the AGM on 26 May 2023 and has not been included as a liability in these Financial Statements.
The effective adjusted tax rate for the year was 21.7% (2021: 21.5%) as set out in the reconciliation below.

Management judgement is applied to determine the level of provisions required in respect of both direct and indirect taxes. The Group is potentially subject to tax audits in many jurisdictions. By their nature these are often complex and could take a significant period of time to be agreed with the tax authorities. Judgement is therefore applied based on the interpretation of country-specific tax legislation and the likelihood of settlement. The Group estimates and accrues taxes that will ultimately be payable when reviews or audits by tax authorities are completed. These estimates include judgements about the position expected to be taken by each tax authority.
Management applies judgement in respect of possible tax audit adjustments primarily in respect of transfer pricing as well as in respect of financing arrangements and tax credits and incentives. In respect of transfer pricing, the level of provision is determined by reference to management judgements of the adjustments that would arise in the event that certain intra-group transactions are successfully challenged as not being at arm’s length.
Management estimates of the level of risk arising from tax audit may change in the next year as a result of changes in legislation or tax authority practice or correspondence with tax authorities during a specific tax audit. It is not possible to quantify the impact that such future developments may have on the Group’s tax position. Actual outcomes and settlements may differ from the estimates recorded in these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Judgement is also applied relating to the recognition of deferred tax assets which are dependent on an assessment of the generation of future taxable income in the countries concerned in which temporary differences become deductible or in which tax losses can be utilised. These estimates may change in the next year if there are changes in the forecast profitability of the relevant company.
In June 2021, the Group agreed a formal settlement with HMRC to resolve its dispute in relation to the taxation of dividends received from EU based subsidiaries prior to 2009. The outstanding liability agreed with HMRC of £0.3m of tax and £0.2m of interest was paid in June 2021. As a result, £8.0m of provision for current tax liabilities and a deferred tax asset of £1.0m related to accrued interest liabilities were released to the Consolidated Income Statement in the year ending 31 December 2021. In addition, as a result of the dispute resolution, £5.1m of accrued interest liabilities were released to the Consolidated Income Statement in 2021, as disclosed in note 6.

Notes to the Accounts
Goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. As part of the annual impairment review, the carrying amount of goodwill has been assessed with reference to its recoverable amount, determined based on value in use. In assessing value in use, the forecast projected cash flows of each cash-generating unit, which are based on actual operating results, the most recent budget for the next financial year as approved by the Board, detailed strategic review projections and an assumed long-term growth rate to perpetuity, are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the cash-generating unit.
Key assumptions used in the value in use calculations
The calculation of value in use is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
- CGU specific operating assumptions on business performance over the forecast period to December 2027 (five years);
- discount rates; and
- projected growth rates used to extrapolate risk adjusted cash flows beyond the forecast period.
CGU specific operating assumptions are applicable to the forecasted cash flows for the forecast period to December 2027 and relate to revenue forecasts, expected project outcomes and forecasted operating margins in each of the operating companies within each CGU group. The relative value ascribed to each assumption will vary between CGUs as the forecasts are built up from the underlying operating companies within each CGU group. A long-term rate is applied to those values for the year to December 2028 and onwards.
The Group calculates value in use using the strategic plans relevant to each CGU. A long-term growth rate of 2.0% (2021: 2.0%) has been applied consistently across all significant CGU groups. Discount rates are based on estimations of the assumptions that market participants operating in similar sectors to Spectris would make, using the Group’s economic profile as a starting point and appropriately adjusting for economic risks. The Directors do not currently expect any significant change in the present base discount rate of 12.9% (2021: 9.3%). The base discount rate, which is pre-tax and is based on short-term variable factors, may differ from the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (‘WACC’).
Discount rates are adjusted for economic risks and sensitivities that are not already captured in the specific operating assumptions for each CGU group. This results in impairment testing using discount rates ranging from 13.5% to 15.0% (2021: 9.6% to 11.1%) across the CGU groups. The table below discloses the discount rates and short-term growth rates for each significant CGU, and the average across the non-significant CGUs. The Group defines significant as 10% of the total carrying value of goodwill.# 10. Goodwill and other intangible assets
Sensitivity analysis
For all cash-generating units with goodwill balances at 31 December 2022 the Directors do not consider that there are any reasonably possible sensitivities for the business that could arise in the next 12 months that could result in an impairment charge being recognised.
Other intangible assets
Internally generated assets arising from the capitalisation of qualifying development expenditure typically have a finite expected useful life of four to ten years. Capitalised development expenditure is amortised on a straight-line basis. All amortisation charges for the year have been charged against operating profit. The Group has capitalised £34.4m of internally-generated intangible assets from development expenditure in 2022 (2021: £42.1m). Accumulated amortisation on internally-generated intangible assets was £55.5m (2021: £28.8m).
The customer-related assets recognised on the acquisition of Concurrent Real Time (‘Concurrent-RT’) in 2021 and Dytran Instruments Inc (‘Dytran’) in 2022, and included within the Spectris Dynamics and Spectris Scientific reporting segments, are considered significant by the Directors as they represent 57% (2021: 54%) and 31% (2021: nil) of the NBV of total customer-related and trade names respectively. The carrying amount of the Concurrent-RT customer-related intangible assets as at 31 December 2022 is £54.0m (2021: £50.7m) and is being amortised over 20 years with the remaining amortisation period being 17.5 years. The carrying amount of the Dytran customer-related intangible assets as at 31 December 2022 is £26.0m (2021: nil) and is being amortised over 20 years with the remaining amortisation period being 19.75 years.
The technology assets recognised on the acquisition of Concurrent-RT in 2021 and Creoptix AG in 2022, and included within the Spectris Dynamics and Spectris Scientific reporting segments respectively, are considered significant by the Directors. Concurrent-RT represents 24% (2021: 32%) of total NBV of patents, contractual rights and technology. The carrying amount of the Concurrent-RT technology intangible assets as at 31 December 2022 is £18.5m (2021: £18.8m) and is being amortised over ten years with the remaining amortisation period being seven and a half years. Creoptix AG represents 24% (2021: nil) of total NBV of patents, contractual rights and technology. The carrying amount of the Creoptix AG technology intangible assets as at 31 December 2022 is £18.3m (2021: nil) and is being amortised over ten years with the remaining amortisation period being nine years.
The trade names assets recognised on the acquisition of Omega Engineering in 2011, and included within the Omega reporting segment, were considered significant by the Directors in 2021 as they represented 35% of total customer-related and trade names.

Goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units that are anticipated to benefit from the acquisition. The Group’s identified cash-generating units total five, smaller than the three reportable segments, being the two operating companies in Spectris Scientific Division (Malvern Panalytical and Particle Measuring Systems), the Spectris Dynamics Division, and the two operating companies in Other non-reportable segment (Red Lion Controls and Xemx) as at 31 December 2022 (2021: six, including Omegga Engineering, which has been disposed of during 2022). Goodwill arising on a bolt-on acquisition is combined with the goodwill in the existing Group company and is not considered separately for impairment purposes, since such acquisitions are quickly integrated. The most significant amounts of goodwill are as follows:
| 2022 £m | 2021 £m | |
|---|---|---|
| Malvern Panalytical | 234.6 | 205.2 |

| Total investment in equity instruments at 31 December | 29.3 | 24.3 |
At 31 December 2022, the Group’s investments in equity instruments designated to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income consists of a) 27,752,671 A1 investments units in EZ Ring FP Holdings (the fund holding the combined UTA Multi-Millbrook group), which has a fair value of £28.6m (2021: £23.1m) b) 10,000,000 shares in Envirosuite Ltd, which has a fair value of £0.7m (2021: £1.2m).
These investments were not held for trading at initial recognition and were not contingent consideration. Instead, they are held for medium- to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the Group elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at fair value through other comprehensive income at initial recognition as it believes that recognising short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit and loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding the investment for long-term purposes and realising its performance potential in the long run.
The Group does not consider that it is able to exercise significant influence over any of the above investments as its percentage ownership and voting rights of the businesses is small and it does not have any unusual powers or rights over the businesses.
No dividends have been recognised on investments in equity instruments during the year (2021: nil).
Investment in associate
On 8 April 2022, the Group acquired 19.4% (17.2% fully diluted) of the shares of CM Labs Simulations Inc. (‘CM Labs’) for total consideration of CAD43.3m (£22.6m), settled in cash. CM Labs is a manufacturer of turnkey solutions for operator training simulators in the heavy equipment industries. These simulators are developed using CM Labs’ proprietary Vortex software, which is also commercially available as a machinery virtual prototyping software platform for tasks ranging from product development to creation of custom simulators. Its principal place of business is Montreal, Quebec, Canada. As a result of the rights and powers attached to the Group’s shareholding, the Group has concluded that it has significant influence and, as result, will equity account for its share of CM Labs’ results, as an investment in associate. This investment in associate is not considered individually material to the Group.
The investment carrying value at 31 December 2022 is £22.9m, consisting of the initial purchase consideration of £22.6m and transaction costs of £0.3m. The share of profit after taxation was nil.
The Group did not receive dividends from its associate in the year (2021: nil).
Summarised financial information in respect of the Group’s individually immaterial associate is set out below. The summarised information has been presented in accordance with IFRS (after adjustments by the Group for equity accounting purposes and to comply with the Group’s accounting policies).
The amount included in the cost of plant and equipment of assets in the course of construction was £15.4m (2021: £5.9m).
No borrowing costs were capitalised during either year.
```# 11. Property, plant and equipment
Of the total depreciation charge of £20.6m (2021: £20.4m), the amount attributable to the depreciation on fair value adjustments to acquisition-related property, plant and equipment and equipment was £0.2m (2021: £0.2m). There were no additions relating to the receipt of government grants in 2022 (2021: nil).

In the ordinary course of business, the Group makes provision for slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventory to write it down to its net realisable value based on an assessment of technological and market developments specific to the relevant business, and an analysis of historical and projected usage on an individual item or product line basis. Expenses relating to inventories written down during the year totalled £10.5m (2021: £5.1m) for the Group. Finished goods and goods held for resale expensed to be utilised after 12 months amounted to £0.12m (2021: £1.14m).

¹ The Group has performed an analysis to disaggregate the ‘Other Receivables’ items. As a result, prior year comparatives have been restated to reflect this realignment. Total trade and other receivables for 2021 remains unchanged.
Non-current trade and other receivables total £4.2m (2021: £2.8m), consisting of £2.3m of prepayments and £1.9m of other receivables. Other current and non-current receivables include advances to suppliers of £2.4m and other debtors of £9.6m. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing. Standard credit terms provided to customers differ according to businesses and country, and are typically between 30 and 60 days. Trade receivables are stated after the provision for impairment of £5.3m (2021: £6.1m). The fair value of trade and other receivables approximates to its carrying amount due to the short-term nature of the exposures associated with these items. There is no impairment risk identified with regards to other receivables where no amounts are past due.
The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables at 31 December by geographic region was:

During 2021, £3.9m of contract liability balances were recognised as part of the acquisition of Concurrent-FLRT, in the Spectris Dynamics product group. Also, during 2021, £2.3m of contract liability balances were derecognised on the disposal of ESG and NDC Technologies, part of the Other non-reportable segments product group.## Product Warranties
Warranty provisions are reflected for unfi lled commitments made to customers on the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business and are included within the Group’s standard terms and conditions. Warranty commitments typically apply for a 12-month period, but can extend to 36 months. These extended warranties are not individually significant.
Legal, Contractual and Other Provisions
Legal, contractual and other provisions mainly comprise amounts provided against open legal and contractual disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. The Group has on occasion been required to take legal or other actions to protect its intellectual property rights, to enforce its commercial contracts or otherwise and similarly to defend itself against proceedings brought by other parties. Provisions are made for the expected costs associated with such matters, based on past experience of similar items and other known factors, taking into account professional advice received, and represent management’s best estimate of the most likely outcome. The timing of utilisation of these provisions is frequently uncertain, reflecting the complexity of issues and the outcome of various court proceedings and negotiations.
Contractual and other provisions represent the Directors’ best estimate of the cost of settling current obligations.
No provision is made for proceedings which have been or might be brought by other parties against Group companies unless management, taking into account professional advice received, assesses that it is probable that such proceedings may be successful. Contingent liabilities associated with such proceedings have been identified, but the Directors are of the opinion that any associated claims that might be brought can be defeated successfully and, therefore, the possibility of any material outflow in settlement is assessed as remote.

Significant changes in contract liabilities during the year 2022:
During 2022, £4.1m of contract liability balances were recognised as part of the acquisition of Creoptix, in the Spectris Scientific product group. The remainder of the increase primarily reflects increased systems-related orders in Spectris Scientific.
There were no other significant changes in contract liability balances during 2022.
Retirement benefit plans
Spectris plc operates funded defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans for the Group’s qualifying employees in the UK. At 31 December 2022, 16 overseas subsidiaries (2021: 15) in six overseas countries (2021: six) provide defined benefit plans. Other UK and overseas subsidiaries have their own defined contribution plans invested in independent funds.
Defined benefit plans
The UK, German, Dutch, Swiss, Austrian, French, Italian and Japanese plans provide pensions in retirement, death in service and, in some cases, disability benefits to members. The pension benefit is linked to members’ final salary at retirement and their service life. Since 31 December 2009, the UK plan has been closed to all service accruals. The German and Dutch plans are closed to new members. The Italian plan is a mandatory Trattamento di Fine Rapporto (‘TFR’) severance plan.
The plans expense through the Group to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and market (investment) risk.Inflation and interest rate hedges are taken out to mitigate risks arising out of the UK plan and some reinsurance existences in respect of the overseas plans. The overseas plans are funded by the Group’s overseas subsidiaries and the UK plan has been funded by both the Group’s UK subsidiaries and the Company. The assets of the UK plan are invested in accordance with Section 40 of the Pensions Act 1995. Although the Act permits 5% of the plan’s assets to be invested in ‘employer-related investments’, the Trustee has elected that none of the plan assets are to be invested directly in Spectris plc shares. The Trustee also holds interest rate and inflation swaps to help protect against the impact of changes in prevailing interest rates and price inflation, which in conjunction with the corporate bond portfolio aims to fully hedged against interest and inflation rate risks on the basis used by the Trustee to fund the plan. Trustee investment in derivatives is only made in so far as they contribute to the reduction of investment risks or facilitate efficient portfolio management and are managed such as to avoid excessive risk exposure to a single counterparty or other derivative operations. The Trustee of the UK plan has invested a large proportion of the plan’s assets in a buy and maintain corporate bond portfolio, designed to move in a similar way to the value of the plan’s liabilities. The Trustee has also entered into a swaps strategy which seeks to further mitigate against movement in interest rates and price inflation over time.
The funding requirements are based on the individual fund’s actuarial measurement framework set out in the funding policies of the various plans.
The Group has determined that, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the defined benefit plans, and in accordance with statutory requirements (including minimum funding requirements) of the plans of the respective jurisdictions, the present value of the refunds or reductions in future contributions in future contributions is not lower than the balance of the total fair value of the plan assets less the total present value of liabilities. This determination has been made on a plan-by-plan basis. As such, no decrease in the defined benefit asset was necessary at 31 December 2022.
The last full actuarial valuation for the UK plan was 31 December 2020 and for the overseas plans was 31 December 2022, where available. Where applicable, the valuations were updated to 31 December 2022 for IAS 19 (Revised) ‘Employee Benefits’ purposes by qualified independent actuaries.
The Group’s contributions to defined benefit plans during the year ended 31 December 2022 were £20.0m (2021: £11.1m). Contributions for 2023 are expected to be £11.2m for the UK plan and £11.1m for the overseas plans.
As a result of the UK plan’s full actuarial valuation at 31 December 2020, it has been agreed that the Group will make past service deficit recovery payment totalling £11.2m a year for a period of six years from 1 January 2022 until 31 December 2027. The contribution rates are subject to review at future valuations and periodic certification of the schedule of contributions.
The assumptions used by the actuary to value the liabilities of the defined benefit plans were:
| UK plan % p.a. | Overseas plans % p.a. | UK plan % p.a. | Overseas plans % p.a. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 4.85 | 3.15 | – | 3.80 |
| Salary increases | n/a | 1.50 | – | 3.00 |
| Pension increases in payment | 2.30 | 0.0 | – | 2.25 |
| Pension increases in deferment | 2.55 | n/a | 2.8 | 3.25 |
| Inflation assumption | 2.55 | 1.25 | – | 3.50 |
| Interest credit rate | n/a | 1.00 | n/a | 1.0 |
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation at 31 December 2022 was approximately 12 years (2021: 14 years) for the UK plan and 14.3 years (2021: 14.8 years) for the overseas plans.
Pensioner life expectancy assumed in the 31 December 2022 valuation is based on the following tables:

Other reserves
Movements in reserves are set out in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. The retained earnings reserve also includes own shares purchased by the Company and treated as treasury shares. The nature and purpose of other reserves forming part of equity are as follows:
Translation reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the Financial Statements of foreign subsidiaries, including gains or losses arising from net investment hedging.
Hedging reserve
This reserve records the cumulative net change in the fair value of forward exchange contracts designated as effective cash flow hedging relationships.
Merger reserve
This reserve arose on the acquisition of Servomex Limited in 1999, a purchase satisfied substantially by the issue of share capital and therefore eligible for merger relief under the provisions of Section 612 of the Companies Act 2006.
Capital redemption reserve
This reserve records the repurchase of the Company’s own shares. During the year, as a result of the share buyback programme, the capital redemption reserve increased by £0.3m (2021: £0.2m), reflecting the nominal value of the cancelled ordinary shares.
22. Share-based payments
Tris Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) – awards granted from 2010 onwards with performance conditions attached
The LTIP is used to grant share awards with performance conditions attached to senior executives and key employees that are settled in either equity or cash.
Both cash and equity-settled LTIP awards are expected to vest, subject to their performance conditions, after three years. Vested equity-settled LTIP awards, which are granted in the form of nominal share options, must be exercised within the next seven years, whereas vested conditional share awards and cash-settled awards are paid out on or shortly after the vesting date. All LTIP awards granted to Executive Directors are subject to an additional two-year holding period. The Executive Directors’ LTIP awards vest after five years (three-year performance period plus two-year holding period) and must be exercised within the next five years.
Subject to the LTIP awards vesting, participants receive additional dividend shares on the LTIP awarded shares under the LTIP award.# 21. Share capital and reserves
Deferred tax
Unrecognised temporary differences
Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in the following temporary differences due to the degree of uncertainty over both the amount and utilisation of the underlying tax losses and deductions in certain jurisdictions.
Tax losses
| Tax losses | 2022 £m | 2021 £m |
|---|---|---|
| 25.1 | 29.0 | |
| 25.1 | 29.0 |
Unremitted earnings
It is likely that the unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries would qualify for the UK dividend exemption such that no UK tax would be payable upon remitting these earnings to the UK. However, £306.6m (2021: £263.7m) of those earnings may still result in a tax liability, principally as a result of the dividend withholding taxes levied by the overseas tax jurisdictions in which those subsidiaries operate. These tax liabilities are not expected to exceed £116.3m (2021: £113.6m), of which only £4.5m (2021: £2.5m) has been provided for as the Group is able to control the timing of the dividends. It is not expected that further amounts will crystallise in the foreseeable future.

| Linked (tax-advantaged) awards | ||||
| Some PSP and LTIP awards granted to UK employees are linked to a grant of market value shares or options under the terms of HMRC’s Tax-advantaged Company Share Option Plan (‘Linked (tax-advantaged) awards’). Linked (tax-advantaged) awards are granted up to an aggregate value of £30,000, which is HMRC’s limit. The Linked (tax-advantaged) awards have the same performance and vesting conditions as the PSP/LTIP awards to which they are linked. | ||||
| When an employee chooses to exercise a PSP/LTIP award which is linked to a Linked (tax-advantaged) award, both parts are also automatically exercised at the same time. Should there be a gain on exercise from the Linked (tax-advantaged) award part, then a proportion of the PSP/LTIP award will lapse to ensure that the overall gross value received from the combined exercise of these awards is no more than would have been delivered from a stand-alone equivalent PSP/LTIP award. | ||||
| Dividends | ||||
| For PSP awards granted in or after 2014, the dividend shares are of equivalent value to the Company’s dividends paid between the date of grant and the vesting date. For PSP awards granted before 2014, dividend shares were of equivalent value to the Company’s dividends paid between the date of grant and the date of exercise. |

LTI awards
LTI awards granted to Executive Directors and Executive Committee members are subject to an adjusted earnings per share growth target (‘EPS’) and a return on gross assets’ capital employed (‘ROGCE’) target. All vesting under these performance conditions will then be further assessed against both absolute and relative Total Shareholder Return (‘TSR’) metrics which can potentially increase the vested award via a multiplier (maximum 1.4 times).
The performance conditions attached to LTI awards granted to senior managers are one-third EPS, one-third ROGCE and the remaining one-third solely subject to continuous employment over the three-year vesting period. LTI Awards below senior management level are subject to EPS (50%) and ROGCE (50%).
Normally, LTI awards granted to participants who leave employment prior to vesting will be forfeited. In the event a participant leaves due to a qualifying reason, they receive a time pro-rated entitlement.
PSP performance conditions
Outstanding PSP awards granted to Executive Directors were subject to the following performance conditions: one-third EPS; one-third economic profit (‘EP’); and one-third relative TSR. The vesting outcome against the PSP performance conditions have been confirmed and the Executive Directors’ out-standing PSP awards are currently in the additional two-year holding period.
PSP awards granted to other members of the Executive Committee in 2017 and 2018 are subject to the following performance conditions: one-third subject to EPS; one-third subject to EP; and one-third solely subject to continuous employment over the three-year vesting period.
In 2019, the same conditions applied for Head Of Office Executive Committee roles however the EP target was replaced for an operating company profit target for the Executive Committee members who are Presidents of an operating company.
PSP awards granted to other senior head of office management were, until 2016, 50% subject to EPS and 50% subject to TSR. From 2017 onwards, senior head of office management have two-thirds of their PSP awards subject to EPS and the remaining one-third solely subject to continuous employment over the three-year vesting period.
PSP awards granted to executives and senior managers of the Group’s operating companies until 2016 had two-thirds subject to an operating company profit target and one-third subject to EPS. In 2017 and 2018, the performance conditions have been two-thirds operating company profit targets and one-third continuous employment over the three-year vesting period. In 2019, the performance conditions were one-third operating company profit targets, one-third EPS and one-third continuous employment over the three-year vesting period.
Normally, PSP awards granted to participants who leave employment prior to vesting will be forfeited. In the event a participant leaves due to a qualifying reason, they receive a time pro-rated entitlement.
Specifics Reward Plan (SRP) – awards granted from 2020 onward
The SRP is used to grant share awards with no performance conditions attached to key employees that are settled in equity or, in limited circumstances, in cash. SRP awards cannot be granted to an Executive Director of Spectris plc.
Vested equity-settled awards, which are granted in the form of nominal share options, must be exercised within the next seven years, whereas vested conditional share awards and cash-settled awards are paid out on or shortly after the vesting date.
On vesting, participants receive additional dividend shares on the vested shares under the SRP award. Dividend shares are of equivalent value to the Company’s dividends paid between the date of grant and the vesting date.
Specifics Deferred Bonus Plan (DBP) – awards granted from 2021 onward
The DBP is used to grant share awards with no performance conditions attached to Executive Directors and are settled in equity. This represents the 50% of the Executive Directors’ annual bonus that is deferred into shares each year.
DBP awards are expected to vest after three years and must be exercised within the next seven years. On vesting, the Executive Directors receive additional dividend shares on the vested shares under the DBP award. Dividend shares are of equivalent value to the Company’s dividends paid between the date of grant and the vesting date.
Specifics Share Incentive Plan (SIP)
The SIP, a UK tax-advantaged share matching plan, was launched after it was approved by shareholders at the May 2018 AGM.UK employees can invest up to £150 per month to buy ordinary shares in the Company (‘Own Partnership shares’) to tax efficiently and for their every five

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Spectris plc 2022 151
In the Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended 31 December 2022, sales of £4.2m and statutory operating profit of £0.5m have been included for the acquisition of MB connect. Group revenue and statutory operating profit from continuing operations for the year ended 31 December 2022 would have been £1,328.6m and £172.6m, respectively, had this acquisition been taken place on the first day of the financial year.
Where appropriate, a detailed exercise has been undertaken to assess the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Consequently, supported by the use of the use of third-party experts. The valuation of intangible and tangible assets requires the use of assumptions and estimates.
Intangible asset assumptions consist of future growth rates, expected inflation and attrition rates, discount rates used and useful economic lives. Due to their contractual due dates, the fair value of receivables approximates to the gross contractual amounts receivable. The amount of gross contractual receivables not expected to be recovered is immaterial. There are no material contingent liabilities recognised in accordance with IFRS 3 (Revised).
Acquisition-related costs (including in administrative expenses) amount to £0.1m.
Dytran
On 1 September 2022, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Dytran Instruments, Inc (‘Dytran’) for net consideration of £69.6m, made up of £70.5m gross consideration in cash less £0.9m net cash acquired. There was no contingent consideration recognised on this acquisition. Dytran is a leading designer and manufacturer of piezoelectric and MEMS-based accelerometers and sensors for measuring dynamic force, pressure and vibration, with its largest market in North America. The transaction is in line with Spectris’s strategy to make synergistic acquisition to enhance and grow its businesses. The acquisition strengthens Spectris Dynamics’ piezoelectric offering, adds new MEMS capability and expands sales into North America. The acquisition also allows for the offering both companies to leverage complementary capabilities and provide enhanced customer offering and solutions to enable accelerated product development.
Dytran will be integrated into the Spectris Dynamics segment and cash generating unit. The excess of the fair value of consideration paid over the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired is represented by the following intangible assets: customer-related relationships, brand, order backlog and goodwill. Goodwill arising is attributable to the assembled work force, synergy from cross-selling goods and services and cost synergies.
In the Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended 31 December 2022, sales of £8.3m and statutory operating profit of £1.3m have been included for the acquisition of Dytran. Group revenue and statutory operating profit from continuing operations for the year ended 31 December 2022 would have been £1,334.5m and £174.3m, respectively, had this acquisition been taken place on the first day of the financial year.

In the Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended 31 December 2022, sales of £33.9m and statutory operating loss of £4.2m have been included for the acquisition of Creoptix. As Creoptix was acquired near to the start of the current reporting period, Group revenue and statutory operating profit from continuing operations for the year ended 31 December 2022 would be the approximately the same had this acquisition taken place on the first day of the financial period.
Acquisition-related costs (included in administrative expenses) amounted to £2.8m.
2.2 MB connect line
On 31 March 2022, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of MB connect line GmbH (‘MB connect’) for net consideration of £87.7m, made up of £89.0m gross consideration in cash less £0.3m net cash acquired. There was no contingent consideration recognised on this acquisition.

MB connect will be integrated into Other non-reportable segments and the Red Lion Controls cash generating unit.
The excess of the fair value of consideration paid over the fair value of the acquired is represented by the following intangible assets: customer-related relationships, technology, brand and goodwill. Goodwill arising is attributable to the acquired workforce, expected future customer relationships and synergies from cross-selling goods and services.
2.3 Concurrent Real-Time
On 9 July 2021, the Group acquired 100% of Concurrent Real-Time (‘Concurrent-RT’) for net consideration of £123.6m, made up of £135.9m gross consideration in cash less £12.3m cash acquired. There was no contingent consideration recognised on this acquisition.
The transaction is in line with Spectris’ strategy to make synergistic acquisitions to enhance and grow its division’s businesses.
Concurrent-RT will be integrated into the Spectris Dynamics reportable segment and cash generating unit.

Goodwill arising is attributable to the acquired workforce, expected future customer relationships and synergies from cross-selling goods and services.
In the Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended 31 December 2021, sales of £154.4m and statutory operating profit of £33.7m have been included for the acquisition of Concurrent-RT. Group revenue and statutory operating profit for the year ended 31 December 2021 would have been £1,130.8m and £158.0m, respectively, had this acquisition taken place on the first day of the financial year.
Acquisition-related costs (included in administrative expenses) amounted to £2.7m in 2021.
Due to their contractual due dates, the fair value of receivables approximates to the gross contractual amounts receivable.

26. Financial risk management
The Group’s multinational operations and debt financing expose it to a variety of financial risks. In the course of its business, the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Financial risk management is an integral part of the way the Group is managed. Financial risk management policies are set by the Board of Directors. These policies are implemented by a central treasury department that has formal procedures to manage foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk, including, where appropriate, the use of derivative financial instruments. The Group has clearly defined authority and approval limits. The central treasury department operates as a service centre to the Group and not as a profit centre.
In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group does not hold or use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Such instruments are only used to manage the risks arising from operating or financial assets or liabilities, or highly probable future transactions. The quantitative analysis of financial risk is included in note 27.# Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk arises from both where sales or purchase transactions are undertaken in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of Group companies (transactional exposures) and where the results of overseas companies are consolidated into the Group’s reporting currency of Sterling (translational exposures). The Group has operations around the world which record their revenues in a variety of different local functional currencies. In addition, where the Group does not have operations, it invariably has some customers orNotwithstanding the foregoing, the Group’s primary exposures relate to the US Dollar, Euro, Chinese Yuan Renminbi and Japanese Yen.
Where appropriate, the Group manages its foreign currency exposures using derivative instruments.
The Group’s translational exposures to foreign currency risks can relate both to the Consolidated Income Statement and net assets of overseas subsidiaries. The Group’s policy is not to hedge the translational exposure that arises on consolidation of the Consolidated Income Statement of overseas subsidiaries. The Group finances overseas company investments partly through the use of foreign currency borrowings in order to provide a natural hedge of foreign currency risk arising on translation of the Group’s foreign currency subsidiaries. The quantitative analysis of foreign currency risk is included in note 27.
The Group manages its transactional exposures to foreign currency risk through the use of forward exchange contracts. Forward exchange contracts are used to hedge highly probable forecast transactions which can be forecasted to occur typically up to 18 months into the future. For the hedging of highly probable forecast sales and purchases, as the critical terms (i.e. the notional amount, life and the underlying) of the forward exchange contracts and their corresponding hedged items are the same, the Group performs a qualitative assessment of effectiveness and it is expected that the value of the forward contracts and the value of the corresponding hedged items will systematically change in opposite direction to movements in the underlying exchange rates.
The main potential source of hedging ineffectiveness in these hedging relationships is the effect of the counterparties and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the forward contract, and any unrecognised hedge ineffectiveness attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. No other sources of ineffectiveness emerged from these hedging relationships.
The following tables detail the foreign currency forward contract assets and liabilities outstanding at the end of the reporting period, as well as information regarding their related hedged items. Foreign currency forward contract assets and liabilities are presented in the line ‘Derivative financial instruments’ (either as assets or liabilities) within the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

| Interest rate risk |
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk comprises the interest rate price risk that results from borrowing at fixed rates of interest and also the interest rate cash flow risk that results from borrowing at variable rates. Where appropriate, interest rate swaps are used to manage the Group’s interest rate profile.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing this risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group manages this risk through the use of regularly updated cash flow and cash flow covenant compliance forecasts and a liquidity headroom analysis which is used to determine funding requirements. Adequate committed lines of funding are maintained from high-quality investment grade lenders. These facilities are committed to the Group as at 31 December 2022 are set out in note 16.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises because a counterparty may fail to perform its obligations. The Group is exposed to credit risk on financial assets such as cash balances, derivative financial instruments and trade and other receivables. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are net of appropriate allowances for doubtful receivables, estimated by the Group’s management based on whether receivables are past due based on contractual terms, payment history and other available evidence. Trade receivables are subject to credit limits and control and approval procedures in the operating companies. Due to its large geographic and financial base and number of customers, the Group is not exposed to material concentrations of credit risk on its trade receivables. The quantitative analysis of credit risk relating to receivables is included in note 14.
Credit risk associated with cash balances and derivative financial instruments is managed centrally by transacting with existing relationship banks with strong investment grade ratings, with a Moody’s LSI Counterparty Risk ratings range of A1(cr) to Baa2(cr). Accordingly, the Group’s associated credit risk is limited. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, as shown in note 27.
Capital management
The Board considers equity shareholders’ funds, together with undrawn committed debt facilities, as capital for the purposes of funding the Group’s operations.
| 2022 £m | 2021 £m | |
|---|---|---|
| Equity shareholders’ funds | 1,436.9 | 1,261.3 |
| Undrawn committed debt facilities | 414.9 | 370.3 |
| 1,851.8 | 1,631.6 |
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain the future development of the business. The Board of Directors monitors both the geographic spread of shareholders and the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.
The Board encourages employees to hold shares in the Company. This is carried out through the Electris Share Incentive Plan in the UK and, in other countries, through Long Term Incentive, Performance and Restricted Share Plans. Full details of these schemes are given in note 22.
The main financial covenants in the Company’s debt facilities are the ratio of net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, and the ratio of finance charges to adjusted earnings before interest, tax, amortisation and impairment. Covenant testing is completed twice a year based on the half-year and year-end Financial Statements. At 31 December 2022, the Company had, and is expected to continue to have, significant headroom under these financial covenant ratios.

During the year ended 31 December 2021, 5,599,660 shares were repurchased and cancelled by the Group as part of the £200m share buyback programme announced on 25 February 2019, resulting in a cash out-flow of £201.3m, including transaction fees of £1.2m (see note 21). The Group's capital management objective is to maintain a strong capital base so as to support its business. There were no changes to the Group’s approach to capital management during 2022 and 2021. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
27. Financial instruments
The following tables show the fair value measurement of financial instruments by level within the fair value hierarchy:
- Level 1: quoted listed stock exchange prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets;
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
- Level 3: inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.
| Fair value and carrying amount of financial instruments | Level 1 fair value £m | Level 2 fair value £m | Level 3 fair value £m | 2022 Carrying amount £m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trade and other receivables excluding prepayments and contract assets | – | – | – | 327.3 |
| Trade and other payables excluding contract liabilities and customer advances | – | – | (33.3) | (236.8) |
| Investments in equity instruments designated at initial recognition at fair value through other comprehensive income (see note 12) | 0.7 | – | 28.6 | 29.3 |
| Investment in debt instruments | – | – | 18.9 | 18.9 |
| Forward exchange contract assets | – | 1.7 | – | 1.7 |

| Cash and cash equivalents | – | 167.8 | – | 167.8 |
| Forward exchange contract liabilities | – | (1.2) | – | (1.2) |
| 268.5 |
There were no movements between the different levels of the fair value hierarchy in the year.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximates to the carrying amount because of the short term of maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of floating rate borrowings approximates to the carrying amount because interest rates are at floating rates where payments are reset to market rates at intervals of less than one year.
The fair value of fixed rate borrowings is estimated by discounting the future contracted cash flows, using appropriate yield curves, to their net present values.
The fair value of forward exchange contract assets is determined using discounted cash flow techniques based on readily available market data.
The fair value of forward exchange contract liabilities outstanding as at 31 December 2022 is a net liability of £0.8m (2021: £0.9m), of which £0.3m has been credited to the hedging reserve (2021: £0.4m) and £0.5m debited from the Consolidated Income Statement (2021: £0.5m credited). These contracts mature over periods typically not exceeding 18 months. A summary of the movements in hedging reserve, net of tax is presented below. All of the cash flow hedges in 2022 and 2021 were deemed to be effective.
The level 1 £0.7m (2021: £1.2m) of investments in equity instruments is calculated using quoted market prices in an active market as at the balance sheet date.
The level 3 £28.6m (2021: £23.1m) of investment in equity instruments consists of the EZ Ring FP fund holding the combined UTAC. This investment is recognised at fair value, using the income approach, with the key input being a discounted cash flow.
The level 3 £18.9m (2021: £23.0m) of investment in debt instruments consists of a vendor loan receivable received as part of the sale proceeds from the Millbrook businesses disposal in 2021. This investment is recognised at fair value by establishing an appropriate market yield. The key inputs used were synthetic credit ratings and market interest rates.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Spectris plc | 161
Financial instruments
The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from its use of financial instruments. The principal financial risks are credit risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk. The Group uses derivative financial instruments, including forward currency contracts, to manage its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. These instruments are not used for speculative purposes.
- Credit risk: The Group’s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables. The Group trades with recognised, creditworthy customers. In addition, receivables risk is managed by taking advance payments where appropriate. Significant credit risk is not considered to arise from these financial assets.
- Liquidity risk: The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between the continuity of funding and the flexibility of borrowing at favourable cost. Management monitors the Group’s net working capital and forecast cash flows on a regular basis.
- Foreign currency risk: The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The Group seeks to reduce its foreign exchange exposure by hedging the net investment in overseas operations and by matching the currency of its monetary assets and liabilities. It also enters into forward currency contracts to hedge specific foreign currency transactions.
- Interest rate risk: The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its borrowings. The Group monitors its exposure and manages its interest rate risk through a combination of fixed and variable rate borrowings.
- Other price risk: The Group is exposed to price risk on its investments in equity instruments.
Appendix – Alternative performance measures
The Group uses a number of alternative performance measures (APMs). These measures are not defined by IFRS and may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies. The APMs are presented to provide additional information to users of the financial statements, to enhance the understanding of the Group’s financial performance and financial position.
The primary APMs used by the Group are:
- Adjusted operating expenses
- Adjusted operating profit
- Earnings per share (EPS) on an adjusted basis
- Net debt and gearing
- Free cash flow
- Dividend cover
- Revenue growth
- Profit before tax on an adjusted basis
The definition of APMs are set out below:
Adjusted operating profit
Adjusted operating profit represents operating profit before exceptional items and amortisation of acquired intangible assets. Adjusted operating profit is presented to provide additional information to users of the financial statements, to enhance the understanding of the Group’s ongoing operating performance.
Net debt
Net debt represents total borrowings plus the Group’s obligation under finance leases, less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is presented to provide additional information to users of the financial statements, to enhance the understanding of the Group’s leverage.# Appendix – Alternative performance measures
LFL measures
• LFL adjusted sales: LFL adjusted sales are sales excluding the impact of currency fluctuations and acquisitions.
• LFL adjusted operating margin: LFL adjusted operating margin is profit before interest and tax (EBIT) for the period, adjusted for items that do not represent the underlying operational performance, divided by LFL adjusted sales.

Notes to the Company Accounts
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Practice (‘UK GAAP’), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (“FRS 102”) and the Companies Act 2006.
The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. They have been applied consistently throughout the group for the purposes of consolidation. The company’s financial statements are prepared on a standalone basis and are not consolidated within this report.
Statement of Compliance with FRS 102
The financial statements of Spectris plc have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with FRS 102 and the Companies Act 2006. A statement of compliance with FRS 102 is made in the financial statements.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements present the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the company has the power to obtain the economic benefits from its involvement with an investee and has the related variable returns that are exposed to its performance.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and the group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the going concern basis is considered appropriate.
Intangible assets
Amortisation and Impairment
Amortisation is charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets.
Internally generated goodwill and intangible assets
Internally generated goodwill and intangible assets are not recognised as assets. Expenditure on internally generated intangible assets is recognised as an expense when incurred.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property includes patents and software.
* Patents: Amortised on a straight-line basis over their legal lives.
* Software: Amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.
Property, plant and equipment
Depreciation is charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the tangible assets.
The directors have assessed the useful lives of the property, plant and equipment. The depreciation methods used result in the following annual rates:
* Freehold buildings: 2%
* Leasehold buildings: 2% over the shorter of the lease term or the useful economic life of the building
* Plant and machinery: 5% to 25%
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost less impairment.
Assets held for sale
Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Assets are classified as held for sale when all the following criteria are met:
* The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition.
* The sale is highly probable.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at fair value at the date of recognition and subsequently at amortised cost, less any provision for bad and doubtful debts. Any difference between the amount of the provision and the specific bad debt is recognised in the profit and loss account.
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other payables
Provisions
A provision is recognised when:
- The company has a present obligation as a result of a past event.
- It is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
- A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The company reviews the carrying amount of provisions at each balance sheet date and adjusts them to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is discounted.
Foreign currency translation
All foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the year-end exchange rate. Exchange differences arising from the translation of foreign currency transactions are recognised in the profit and loss account.
