This has been a year of deep sorrow for everyone
atRenishawfollowingthedeathofourformer
Chairmanandco-founder,SirDavidMcMurtry,
inDecember2024.DavidwassomeoneIgreatly
respectedasahighlyinnovativeandentrepreneurial
engineer. Throughout his career he demonstrated
quietambition,humour,humilityandintegrity.Hewas
arolemodelinmanyways,andhisdeathisagreat
loss to his family and to all of us.
A highly respected legacy of innovation
David gained huge international respect for his
deepunderstandingofcustomerneedsandability
tocreatenovelproductsthataddressedthem.
AnimportantpartofDavid’slegacyisourcompany-

valuesreflectDavid’sown,aswellasthoseofhis
co-founder John Deer.
Davidneverlosthispassionforinnovationorfinding
ways to make existing products better. As interim
Chair I spent a lot of time this year – initially with
David – looking at our next generation of innovative
products. This included attending a quarterly review
ofourflagshipprojectsinSeptember2024.David’s
legacy lives on in the many talented and highly
experienced people who worked with him over the
years and whose expertise helps bring these
products to market. Will Lee shares more detail
onthisyear’sproductlaunchesinhisreviewon
pages 7 to 10.
An evolving Board
Our search for a new independent Chair and an
additional independent Non-executive Director
commenced in 2024. While the recruitment process
and future skills needed on the Board have been
influencedbyDavid’sdeath,WillandIhavemet
withanumberofprospectivecandidatesforthe
independentChairrole.Onceappointed,Renishaw’s
new independent Chair will play a key role in
maintainingthecultureandvaluesthatI’vementioned,
as well as working with the rest of the Board to help
Renishaw navigate future opportunities and challenges.
RichardMcMurtry,oneofDavid’ssons,joinedour

ofRenishaw.
Separately,afteracareerofover46yearswith

Deepening the Board’s understanding
of our products and markets
These changes are part of a wider evolution taking
place at Renishaw. I’ve been impressed with the
Executive Committee’s commitment to retaining
David and John’s innovative spirit while building
amanufacturingtechnologypowerhousecapable
ofthrivinginanincreasinglycomplexandcompetitive
world. The Board plays a key role in supporting and
challengingthiswork,soit’sessentialwehave
astrongunderstandingofourproductdevelopment
pipeline and the highly attractive markets we serve.
While the Board discusses product development
ateverymeetingandreceivesmarketupdatesfrom
ourthreeregionalPresidents,thisyearwealso
incorporated site visits and attended external industry
events as part of our meeting schedule. In September
2024,membersoftheBoardattendedourGroup
Sales Conference where we met many of our country
salesleaders.Then,inMay2025,wetravelledto
Stuttgart,Germany,tovisitourfacilitiesandattend
Control,amajormetrologyequipmenttradeshow.
This provided a further opportunity to see how our
customers use our products and learn more about
our competitive landscape. It also reinforced the
length and depth of many of those customer
relationships,aswellastheworkourteamsdo
tonurturethemataglobalandregionallevel,
strengtheningourreputationforservice,support
andreliablesupply.Theinsightsfromthesevisits
have enriched Board debate and deepened
understanding of Renishaw’s opportunities
andchallenges.
Focusing on innovation and productivity
in a time of risk – and opportunity
Asaglobalbusinessoperatingacross36countries,
we face increasing uncertainty in some of our
markets,includingmorecompetitionfromlow-cost
manufacturers.Likeallinternationalbusinesses,
weneedtomakesurewecannavigatethepotential
cost and governance challenges associated with
tariffandregulatorychanges,andstayalertto
theopportunitiesandrisksaheadofus.China
isagoodexamplehere,sinceitrepresentsan
important growth opportunity for Renishaw as
wellasasourceoflow-costcompetition.
It is too early to say how recent geopolitical
turbulence,includingtheimpactofUStariffs,will
affectRenishaw.However,Ibelievechallengeoften
leadstoopportunity–providedweremainfocused
onstrengtheningouroffertocustomers.Thatmeans
continuing our legacy of innovation and successful
productlaunches–andtheBoardwasdelighted

methodgaugetothemarketattheendofthe
financialyear,aheadofitsfulllaunchinAutumn2025.
It also means continuing to drive productivity and
staying focused on our strategy. The best way that
Renishaw can drive productivity is by investing in our
peopleandtechnology,andtheCompanyhascome
a long way in a short time in this respect. The HR
team has continued its excellent work this year to
developcompetencyframeworks,careerpathways
and succession plans for our critical roles. The Board
was also pleased to see continued progress in our
digitaltransformationprogramme,includingthe
detailed planning for the roll out of Microsoft
Dynamics365tohelpmoderniseourresource
planning,andanewautomatedinventory
management system at our warehouse in Wales.
As part of ensuring we remain focused on our
strategy,theBoardapprovedseveralkeydecisions

Making strategic progress for growth
We have also continued to make solid progress
against our three strategic focus areas:
1 growingourexistingmarkets;
2 increasing the value to Renishaw of the
technologythatwesell;and
3 extendingintonew,high-growthmarkets.
These areas are integral to our long-term value
creationmodel,whichweexplaininmoredetail

Growing our existing markets
We aim to increase revenue by driving up probe
fitmentlevels,offeringhighervaluesensors,and
winning more customers that build machinery.
ThisrequiresstrongongoingR&Dinvestmenttokeep

Risk management
Our approach
Risk management shapes every decision we make and is
embeddedintoourcorporateculture.Understandingtherisks
and opportunities facing our business is critical in driving
long-term value creation for all our stakeholders. While we are
notaversetotakingrisks,wefocusonidentifyingtherisksthat
couldaffectourperformanceorreputationandmanagingthem
accordingly. Adopting a balanced and agile approach is not
onlyfundamentaltominimisingourlossesandsafeguardingour
reputation,butalsoadriverforeffectivedecision-makingwhile
supporting our strategic goals on innovation and growth.
Ourriskmanagementframeworkisdynamic,enablingusto
respond to the threats while capitalising on opportunities –
withoutexposingthebusinesstounduelevelsofrisk.So,while
ourriskappetiteforcompliancewithlawsandregulationsislow,
wehaveahigherriskappetiteforproductinnovation,givenour
experience and historic investment levels.
Toeffectivelymanagerisk,weemploythethree-lines-of-
defence model:
First line:ourproductgroupdivisions,salesteamsand

managementcommitteesandtheInternalControlsteam,
reviewstheeffectivenessoftheriskandcompliance
frameworkandsomonitorsandchallengestheriskprofile
ofthebusiness.
Third line: our Internal Audit team provides independent
assurancebyreportingontheeffectivenessofthefirsttwo
lines of defence in managing the risks posed to the business.
Our risk management framework incorporates top-down and
bottom-upriskreviewsinalternateyearstoeffectivelymonitor
principalandemergingrisks,andiscoupledwithdeepdiveson
targeted principal risks. The reviews provide critical data points
fortheRiskCommitteetohelpensurewehaveaneffective
system in place to monitor and develop the Group’s approach
torisk,aswellasourriskculture.
Our risk and controls governance framework
Our risk management framework is embedded at all levels
oftheorganisationandisdesignedtoreflectthedistinctive
characteristics of our business. Our Board retains overall
responsibility for risk management and sets the tone for the
Group’sriskappetite.ItissupportedbyourAuditCommittee,
which maintains oversight of the overall risk and internal controls
framework,andbyourRiskCommittee,whichmonitorsour
principalandemergingrisks.Atleastonceayear,theBoard,
withsupportfromtheAuditCommittee,assessestheCompany’s
principalrisksanduncertaintiesandidentifiesanyemerging
risks. This includes reviewing risks that have the capacity to
threatenourbusinessmodel,futureperformance,solvency
orliquidity.
Our Audit Committee (comprising Independent Non-executive
Directors)monitorsourriskmanagementandinternalcontrols

andthemostsignificantchangestorisksinFY2025.
Revising our risk management framework
Thisyear,wecontinuedtorefineourriskmanagement
framework,followingareviewofourprocessesduringFY2024.
InFY2025,we:
reduced the membership of the Risk Committee to key
stakeholders,withourChiefExecutiveOfficernowasChair.
This has supported more robust decision-making in
managingGrouprisks;
revised the Risk Committee’s reporting so that it now reports
directlytotheAuditCommittee,withmattersbroughttothe
Board’sattentionasappropriate;
improved our risk management documentation by
strengtheningthecontentofourGroupRiskRegister,which
now includes a more in-depth assessment of our controls
andcountermeasures,whilecloselymonitoringthe
consistencyofourapproachtoriskscoring;
introduced the assessment of risk velocity as an additional
metricforeachrisk,sowecanbemoreagileinourrisk

reduced the number of principal risks that we report against
from11to10,sowecanfocusonthekeyriskareas.
Geopolitical environment
Wehaveseensignificanteconomicandpoliticaluncertaintyin
thegeopoliticalenvironmentduringFY2025,drivenbyfactors
suchasongoingtradetensions,fluctuatingenergypricesand
regionalconflicts.Theseuncertaintiesareaffectingglobal
supplychains,causingdisruptionsandincreasingcostsfor
business worldwide. The volatility in international trade policies
andtariffshasaffectedtheimportandexportofcritical

Fluctuationsincurrencyexchangerateshavealsoaffected

International trade and tariffs
TheUSA’sintroductionoftariffs,combinedwithChina’s

forglobalbusiness.Thetariffsthemselvesrepresentnotonly
acostimpactbutalsoanewadministrativeburden,which
requires management oversight and continual review. This
reflectsabroaderpatternofgeopoliticalandtradepolicy
volatility,requiringheightenedvigilancetowardstradecontrol
and sanctions. We maintain robust monitoring mechanisms
sowecanrespondpromptlytoongoingandfuturechangesin
international trade regulations. We have sought to pass on the
costoftariffsthroughsurchargesandarealsodeveloping
systems and processes to ensure viable compliance with
emerging and evolving legislation.
Specificexportlicencesforcommodities,suchasrareearths

Cyber security
Inlightofrecenthigh-profileandcomplexcyberattacks
onorganisations,aswellasincreasingglobalinstability,
wecontinuetocloselymonitorthisrisk.
We deploy a comprehensive set of controls to manage cyber

Our approach to key ESG issues continues to mature. This year
we focused on embedding our ESG strategy and continuing to
developourapproach,buildingontheprogresswemadelast
year. See pages 40 to 50 for more on our ESG strategy.
Increased risks
Geopolitical uncertainty:thisrisk,previouslynamed
‘Economicandpoliticaluncertainty,hasincreased
moderately because of intensifying political tensions in
tradingrelationships,particularlybetweentheUSAand
othernations,suchasChinaandtheEU,aswellasconflicts
in the Middle East.
Low-price competition:thisrisk,previouslynamed
‘Competitoractivity,hasincreasedasaresultofthe
continuing emergence of competitors in emerging markets
offeringcomparableproductsforlowerprices.
Non-compliance with laws and regulations: this risk has
increasedonaccountofthecurrentgeopoliticaltensions,
which increase the likelihood of tighter laws and sanctions.
The general trend of increased reporting and disclosure
alsocontinues.
Decreased risks
Capital products growth: this risk has reduced because of the
investmentandrolloutofourglobalERPsystem,whichwill
us help adapt our sales process. We have also not seen any
change in the inherent risk from last year.

andprobabilityaredifficulttoassessandquantifybutwhich
couldaffectourperformanceinthefuture–whichiswhywe
reassessed these risks this year. This helps us stay ahead of
change and puts in place pre-emptive mitigation measures
where possible. While emerging risks may increase the likelihood
andimpactofourprincipalrisksoccurring,wedonotcurrently
expectthemtobecomefutureprincipalrisks.
TheimpactofAIremainsanemergingrisk,withAIcapability
continuing to develop at an accelerated rate. This could
fundamentallyaffectourbusiness,stakeholdersandthewider
environment in which we operate. Its use could pose a security
threatifcontrolsarenotsufficientorpoliciesnotrobustenough
to promote safe use. Our competitors’ use of AI in design or
manufacturing processes may also give them an advantage.
Forthesereasons,wecontinuetocloselymonitorthisemerging
risk and are now implementing controls around AI risks into our
governance policies.

Context
Inmakingtheassessment,theDirectorsconsideredthe
following factors that they felt provided important context:
Financialresources–wehavesignificantfinancialresources,

our business model – where we typically have short-term

Renishaw plc Annual Report 2025
What we do
AdditiveManufacturing(AM)–alsoknownas3D
printing – is the process of making 3D components
by building up layers of material. Our AM machines
use high-powered lasers to selectively melt sections
offinemetalpowder.Thisprocessisrepeated,
layer-by-layer,tobuildhigh-strength,complex
components that often can’t be made using
traditional manufacturing techniques.
While AM has historically been used for rapid
prototyping,one-offpartsandsmallbatch
production,wedevelopsolutionsthatare
accelerating AM use for high-volume manufacturing
applications.Forexample,thisyearwelaunched
anewduallasermachine,aspartofourRenAM500
series,givingcustomersgreaterchoiceandflexibility
to scale up within their budget.
Our software solutions enable our AM machines
tobeintegratedwithother‘smart’manufacturing
technologies. This includes third-party manufacturing
executionsystems(MES)forgreaterproduction
control,andcomputer-aideddesign(CAD)tools,
which make the most of 3D printing’s ability to create
designs with enhanced functional performance.
LikeourotherManufacturingtechnologiesproducts,
we use AM in our internal processes and understand
thechallengesofAMvolumeproduction,including
the need for a cultural shift to optimise part designs
for AM rather than subtractive manufacturing.
Thisstartswithearlycareersasweenrolmore
UKgraduatesandapprenticeswhohaveexplored
AMaspartoftheireducation.Wealsoworkwith
process and design engineers company-wide to
further incorporate AM into our toolkit.
Our AM application and service engineers work
alongsideourkeycustomers,solidifyingourreputation
asatrustedpartnerwithascalableplatform,which
translates into repeat system sales. The fact that many
of our target manufacturing customers already use
ourIndustrialMetrologyandPositionMeasurement
productshelpsusbuildthesekeyrelationships.
Our markets and the trends that
affectthem
We see enormous growth potential for AM to address
globalmegatrends,likeindustrialautomation,
decarbonisationandelectrification.Performancein
the aerospace and medical industries – both early
AMadopters–remainsstrong.Inaerospace,
along-establishedmarketforourManufacturing

demandfororthopaedicimplants,whereAMcan
produce lattice structures that encourage bone
integration and improve patient recovery.
Interest from defence and consumer electronics
continuestogrow.Thesearehighlyagile,high-
growthsectorsthatcanbenefitfromAM’sflexibility,
although cost-per-part remains a key barrier to
widespread adoption.
Our priorities for the future
We’re excited about AM’s disruptive potential.
Ourlatestdevelopments,whichreducebuildtimes
byupto50%withoutcompromisingquality,reflect
our ongoing focus on boosting productivity and
maximisingAMcost-effectiveness.
We remain dedicated to deepening our customer
relationships and supporting their applications as
they scale up. This includes continuously improving
oursoftwareandserviceofferingstosuit
volumeproduction.
We see collaboration with the wider AM industry
asimportantforbreakingdownbarriersanddriving
adoption.So,wecontinuetoworkcloselywith

OurScope1emissionsfellby14%versusFY2024,largely
duetoongoingworktoswitchourvehiclefleetfromtraditional

availabilityofRECsandULEVs,adequatecharginginfrastructure
and a low-carbon electricity grid.
Insomecases,theavailablereductionsinScope1and2

Tackling our Scope 3 emissions relies on collaborating with key

Thisyear,welaidimportantfoundationstoembedsustainability
in our product design and innovation processes. In consultation
withourproductdivisions,wedevelopedaDesignfor

followingcustomerengagement,weimplementedcustom
design changes to our tool setting products for machine tools to
increase repeatability. These changes have also helped reduce

reducing the indirect emissions of the products and services
webuy.Havingidentifiedourhighestemittingcommodities
andtheirrespectivesuppliers,we’reusingamethodologywe
developed in-house to engage with and educate key suppliers
on sustainability issues. This is also helping us collect primary
sustainabilitydata,whichenablesustoaccuratelycalculatethe
emissionsoftheproductswebuyfromthesesuppliers,andthen
identify opportunities to reduce those emissions.
Thisyear,forexample,weidentifiedthatrawmetalprocurement
accountsforaround16%ofourpurchasedgoodsandservices
emissions.Withinthiscategory,weidentifiedaluminiumasthe
highest emitting commodity. Since this is a key raw material for
manyofourproducts,weinitiallyfocusedoursupplier
engagement programme on aluminium.
Partneringwithourmainmetalssupplier,andusingour
methodology,wewereabletoidentifyanopportunitytotransition
themajorityofthealuminiumwebuyfrom75%to100%recycled

ofthemainaluminiumproductsweprocure.Usingthesame
methodology,we’renowcollaboratingwithfiveotherkey
aluminium suppliers to help them build their own emissions
reduction plans.
Continuing to strengthen our data
We’ve continued to investigate options to consistently calculate
the emissions associated with moving our products around the
world.Bycollaboratingwithourcouriersandexpeditors,we’re
strengthening our understanding of our global distribution
emissions.Usingthisknowledgewewillaimtomakemore
informed choices about the methods of transport we use
todistributeourproductsand,intime,increaseouruseof

We have also established carbon metrics to monitor
manufacturingwasteandensurewefocusoureffortsonthe
most impactful GHG emissions reduction initiatives. We keep
thesemetricsunderreviewtoensuretheyremainfitforpurpose.
Inaddition,wehavedevelopedtrainingmaterialstohelprelevant

Asaresponsiblebusinesswewanttohelpmakethatvalue

In recent years we have strengthened our approach to
identifying and managing the risks we face in areas like modern
slavery,childlabourandconflictminerals.Forexample,wenow
conduct internal reviews to ensure our global teams are using
the policies correctly and complying with relevant legislation.
Our new global supplier relationship management platform
helpstoo,providingconsistent,verifiedESG-relateddatatohelp
usmakemoreinformeddecisions.Thisyear,forexample,the
platform helped identify a potential risk in our recruitment and
payrollprocesses,whichweaddressedwithprocessesfor
imposter checks and duplicate bank detail checks alongside our
existing right-to-work assessments. This will help reduce the risk
of a victim of modern slavery becoming an employee. We intend
to audit our processes periodically to ensure the necessary due
diligenceisinplaceatalltimes.Meanwhile,theplatformwill
become a central part of our new global supplier onboarding
process,whichweareaimingtolaunchintheUKinFY2026.
We also continued to implement our global modern slavery
policyacrosstheGroupthisyear,withstrictnewguidelineson
how it should be used. This will be supported by new modern
slavery training to raise awareness of the risk to all employees
globally,whichwewillrolloutinthecomingmonths.We’vealso
developed new guidance to help line managers take appropriate
action when someone reports a concern.
Some of our products rely on critical minerals that are often
located in parts of the world that are at higher risk of human
rightsabusesandconflict.Thisyearwestrengthenedour

to report on in next year’s Annual Report.
TheAuditCommittee,onbehalfoftheBoard,iscurrently
overseeing the mapping of the material internal controls that

of controls or further assurance required can be implemented

Sir David has now served on the Board for more than 13 years.
Renishaw continues to search for a new permanent independent

Board once the appointment is made and following an
appropriate handover period. In addition to searching for
anewChairandIndependentNon-executiveDirector,theBoard
continues to actively consider succession plans more generally.

Research and development projects
Description Our review and conclusions
TheGroupundertakesasignificantamountofR&D
workeachyear,andtwokeydecisionsareneededto
determine the appropriate accounting treatment for
related costs.
Thefirstdecisionisajudgementastowhether

therequirementforthisexpendituretobecapitalised.
Theseconddecision,forprojectsthathavemetthe

Wereviewedthecostsoftheprojectscapitalisedintheyear,andagreed
thattheyhadbeencapitalisedattheappropriatepointintheirdevelopment.
Wealsoreviewedthediscountedfuturecashflowsfortheseprojectsandthe
onesthathadpreviouslybeencapitalised,togetherwiththekeyassumptions
behind these forecasts. We then reviewed the headroom between the

management’sassessmentthatanimpairmentof£1.8mwasneededfor
twoprojectsgivenreductionsintheirexpectedfuturecashflows.
Goodwill
Description Our review and conclusions
Where the Group recognises goodwill from the
acquisitionofabusiness,anestimateofthe
discountedfuturecashflowsofthisbusiness
(representinga‘cash-generatingunit’)isneeded.
Thisiscomparedtothecarryingvalueofgoodwill,
toidentifywhetheranimpairmenttogoodwillis
needed.At30June2025,goodwilltotalled£10.9m.

recognised,relatingtotheacquisitionsofitpGmbH,RenishawMayfieldS.A.
andRenishawFixturingSolutionsLLC.
WereviewedthediscountedfuturecashflowsfortheseCGUs,andthekey
assumptions behind these forecasts. Included in this was a review of
management’s previous forecasts and how they compared to actual results.
We then reviewed the headroom between the capitalised costs and the
discountedfuturecashflows,andagreedwithmanagement’sassessmentthat
noimpairmentwasneeded.
Inventories
Description Our review and conclusions
TheGroupholdsasignificantamountofinventory
(£159.5mat30June2025).Estimatesoffuture
demand are used to determine the provision needed
forslow-movingandpotentiallyobsoleteinventory,
sothatinventoryisappropriatelyvaluedatthelower
of actual cost and net realisable value.
At30June2025,theinventoryprovisionwas£29.4m.
Wereviewedtheyear-endprovisioninbothabsolutetermsandasaproportion
ofgrossinventory,andalsocomparedthistopreviousperiods.
Wealsochallengeddifferencesbetweensubsidiariesandaskedmanagement
toprovidemoredetailedreportingandanalysistounderstanddifferences.
Overall,weconcludedthattheprovisionwasappropriate.
Uncertain tax positions
Description Our review and conclusions
TheGroupissubjecttoarangeoftaxlegislationthat
variesbyjurisdictionandcanbecomplex,whilethere
can be uncertainties arising from tax-related case law.
Therearecaseswherejudgementneedstobe

We reviewed management’s assessment of tax risks and conclusions on uncertain
taxpositions,anddiscussedmanagement’staxgovernanceframework.
We also reviewed where external advisors were used to ensure that management
had sought appropriate advice.
We agreed with management’s assessment that provisions for tax liabilities of
£9.2mwererequired,withanadditional£4.9mininterestthereon.

Defined benefit (DB) pension schemes
Description Our review and conclusions
Todeterminethevalueofthedefinedbenefit(DB)
pensionschemes’liabilities,managementneedsto
estimate the present value of the future obligations.
Assumptionsofdiscountrates,inflationratesand
mortality rates are used in this estimate and are
determined by management in consultation with
independent actuaries.
Management also needs to determine the appropriate
accountingtreatmentforpastservicecosts.
Wereviewedtheassumptionsofdiscountrates,inflationratesandmortalityrates,
includingthemovementinthesesinceFY2024.Wealsoconfirmedwith
management that these assumptions had been determined in consultation with
independent actuaries.
Wealsoreviewedmanagement’saccountingtreatmentformattersthatmayaffect
pastservicecosts,includingdiscussingprofessionaladviceobtainedby
management. We agreed with management’s conclusion that:
acontingentliabilityshouldbedisclosedrelatingtoacourtcaseintheUK
relatingtocontracted-outDBrights;and
a contingent liability should be disclosed relating to the potential liabilities
arisingfromadefinedcontribution-underpindraftingissueintheUKDB
scheme trust deed.
Duringtheyear,apensionschemewhichwasbelievedtobeadefined
contributionschemewasfoundtobeadefinedbenefitscheme.TheCommittee
reviewed management’s new treatment of the German pension scheme and
agreedwiththeconclusionthatitisadefinedbenefitschemeandapriorperiod
error. The Committee also challenged management on the root cause of this issue
and believe that this is a nuanced and isolated matter.
Employee benefits
Description Our review and conclusions
Duringtheyear,managementintroducedan
operatingcostreductionprogramme,whichincluded
redundancyprogrammesintheUKandIreland.
Judgement was needed to determine when any
associated termination payments to employees
should be recognised.
Wereviewedmanagement’sassessmentoftheterminationpayments,including
reviewingdifferencesintheaccountingconsiderationsdependingonlocation,
timing,andtype(i.e.voluntaryorcompulsoryredundancy).
Weagreedwithmanagement’sassessmentthattheterminationbenefitsshould

Going concern and viability
TheCommitteereviewedthefinancialmodellingundertaken

concern and viability assessments. This review included
assessing the basis of the severe but plausible downside
scenariosandhowtheyaddressedtheprincipalrisks,andthe
key assumptions and main mitigating actions included in each
scenario.Weconfirmedwithmanagementthatcashbalances
were positive in each month in the assessment period. We also
reviewed the reverse stress tests that management had prepared
for the period to 30 September 2026 and 30 September 2028
forgoingconcernandviabilityrespectively,notingthatthe
sustainedfallsinrevenue(andthereforeprofitandoperating

Risk management and internal controls
The Board has overall responsibility for the Group’s approach to
risk management and internal control. The Risk Committee has
operationalresponsibilityforriskmanagement,andtheBoard
has delegated responsibility to the Audit Committee for the
oversightofthisworkandtheeffectivenessofinternalcontrols.
Risk management
Asexplainedinmoredetailonpage16,theRiskCommitteehas
developedtheGroup’sriskmanagementframeworkinFY2025.
TheAuditCommitteereviewedthesechangesintheyear,and
alsoconsideredandendorsedtherevisedprincipalrisks,
concurring with the Risk Committee’s conclusions.
Internal controls
The Group’s systems and processes are designed to provide
reasonable but not absolute assurance of:
mitigation of risk that might cause a failure of business
objectives;
reducedriskofmaterialmisstatements,errorsorlosses;
safeguardingassetsagainstunauthoriseduseordisposal;
maintenance of proper accounting records and the reliability
offinancialinformationusedwithinthebusinessfor
publication;and
compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Internal controls are embedded throughout the business’s
systems,whiletheCodeofConductexplainshowweexpect
ourpeopletobehavewithhonestyandintegrityandspecifies
requirements on topics such as trade controls and legal
compliance. Everyone in the business undertakes relevant
trainingandassessmentwithinthreemonthsofjoiningRenishaw.
We further embed our expectation of people’s behaviour by
having integrity as one of our values.
Onaday-to-daybasis,managementisresponsiblefor
implementing internal controls. The Group Internal Control
Manualsetsoutkeyfinancialprocessesandcontrols,mainly
aimedatfinancialmanagementandfinancialreporting.The
manual is available to all employees and the Internal Audit team
tests subsidiary compliance with these controls during its audit
work. Self-assessment of compliance with the Group’s policies
andhigh-levelcontrolsiscertifiedbyeachGroupcompany
onanannualbasis,inadditiontoself-assessmentsonkey

Duringtheyear,managementdevelopedtheGroupinternal
controlframework,focusingonaccountabilitythroughoutthe
organisation and appropriate levels of resourcing. This will result
inmorestandardisedreportingofnon-financialrisksandcontrols

effectivenessofmaterialcontrolsinFY2027.
Climate risk and Climate-related Financial Disclosures
The Committee reviewed this year’s Climate-related Financial
Disclosures reporting. This included receiving an update from
the ESG Committee on its review process and reviewing
management’s work in assessing the impact of climate change
onthefinancialstatements.

Duringtheyear,theFRCcarriedoutareviewoftheFY2024

no questions or queries arose from this review.
The FRC’s review was based solely on the annual report and

Statement of consideration of shareholder views
The Committee values the insight received from its engagement
activities with our shareholders and takes all feedback received
seriously.InFY2025,onbehalfoftheRemunerationCommittee,
Catherine Glickman engaged with some of our largest
institutional shareholders and proxy voting agencies regarding
the decision to use some of the additional variable pay headroom
for Will Lee’s annual incentive opportunity. The conversations
held were constructive and all investors who responded to the
invitation to engage supported the changes. The Committee
intends to take into account the feedback received from our

Climate change
Stakeholders are increasingly interested in how climate change will impact Renishaw plc. The Group has determined that the most
significantfutureimpactsfromclimatechangeontheiroperationswillbefromextremeweatherevents,technologicaldevelopments
of additive manufacturing and from transition to electric vehicles and increasing carbon taxation. These are explained on pages 51 to
56 in the required Task Force On Climate-Related Financial Disclosures and on page 18 in the Risk management and principal risks
and uncertainties section. The Group has also explained its climate commitments on pages 42 to 45. All of these disclosures form

Our application of materiality
Weapplytheconceptofmaterialityinplanningandperformingtheaudit,inevaluatingtheeffectofidentifiedmisstatementsonthe
audit and in forming our audit opinion.
Materiality
The magnitude of an omission or misstatement that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of the users of the financial statements. Materiality provides a basis for determining the nature and extent of our
audit procedures.
WedeterminedmaterialityfortheGrouptobe£6.4million(2024:£6.1million),whichis5%(2024:5%)ofAdjustedprofitbeforetax.
WebelievethatAdjustedprofitbeforetaxprovidesuswiththemetricwhichisusedmostprevalentlybyGroupmanagementintheir
internal and external reporting and is the most relevant performance measure to the stakeholders of the Group.
WedeterminedmaterialityfortheParentCompanytobe£8.4million(2024:£8.1million),whichis1%(2024:1%)ofEquity.
Duringthecourseofouraudit,wereassessedinitialmaterialitytoreflectactualresultsbeingdifferenttotheforecastusedto
calculate planning materiality and performed our testing at this revised level.
Performance materiality
The application of materiality at the individual account or balance level. It is set at an amount to reduce to an appropriately low level
the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality.
Onthebasisofourriskassessments,togetherwithourassessmentoftheGroup’soverallcontrolenvironment,ourjudgementwas
thatperformancematerialitywas75%(2024:75%)ofourplanningmateriality,namely£4.7million(2024:£4.6million).Wehaveset
performance materiality at this percentage due to our expectation of misstatements being low.
Audit work was undertaken at component locations for the purpose of responding to the assessed risks of material misstatement
oftheGroupfinancialstatements.Theperformancematerialitysetforeachcomponentisbasedontherelativescaleandrisk
ofthecomponenttotheGroupasawholeandourassessmentoftheriskofmisstatementatthatcomponent.Inthecurrentyear,
therangeofperformancematerialityallocatedtocomponentswas£0.3mto£3.2m(2024:£0.3millionto£3.1million).
Reporting threshold
An amount below which identified misstatements are considered as being clearly trivial.
WeagreedwiththeAuditCommitteethatwewouldreporttothemalluncorrectedauditdifferencesinexcessof£0.3million
(2024:£0.3million),whichissetat5%ofplanningmateriality,aswellasdifferencesbelowthatthresholdthat,inourview,

We evaluate any uncorrected misstatements against both the quantitative measures of materiality discussed above and in light

Renishaw plc Annual Report 2025
1. Accounting policies
This section sets out our principal accounting policies that relate to the financial statements as a whole, along with the
critical accounting judgements and estimates that management has identified as having a potentially material impact on
the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Where an accounting policy is applicable to a specific note in the financial
statements, the policy is described within that note.
Basis of preparation
Renishaw plc (the Company) is a company incorporated in England and Wales. The Group financial statements consolidate those
of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group, and ‘we’) and equity account the Group’s interest in joint
ventures. The parent company financial statements present information about the Company as a separate entity and not about
the Group.
The Group financial statements have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with UK-adopted International
Accounting Standards (IAS). The parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting
Standard 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s
presentational currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (£’000).
The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Group
financial statements. Page 127 sets out the critical estimates (that have a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year) and
key judgements (that have a significant effect on the financial statements) made by the Directors in applying the accounting policies.
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns
from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. In assessing control,
the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that are exercisable. The acquisition date is the date on which control is
transferred to the acquirer. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the
date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary
are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (equity-accounted investees) and are initially recognised at cost.
The Group’s investments includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the total comprehensive income and equity movements of equity
accounted investees, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the
Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the Group’s carrying amount is reduced to nil and
recognition of further losses is discontinued (except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations or made payments
on behalf of an investee).
Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated
on consolidation. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment
to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only
to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Foreign currencies
On consolidation, overseas subsidiaries’ results are translated into Sterling at weighted average exchange rates for the year
by translating each overseas subsidiary’s monthly results at exchange rates applicable to the respective months. Assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into Sterling at the foreign exchange rates
prevailing at that date. Differences on exchange resulting from the translation of overseas assets and liabilities are recognised
in Other comprehensive income and are accumulated in equity.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported at the rates prevailing at the time, with any gain or
loss arising from subsequent exchange rate movements being included as an exchange gain or loss in the Consolidated income
statement. Foreign currency differences arising from transactions are recognised in the Consolidated income statement.

1. Accounting policies continued
New, revised or changes to existing accounting standards
The following accounting standards and amendments became effective as at 1 January 2024 and have been adopted in the
preparation of these financial statements, with effect from 1 July 2024:
amendments to IAS 1, Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current;
amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7, Supplier Finance Arrangements; and
amendments to IFRS 16, Lease liability in a Sale and Leaseback.
These have not had a material effect on these financial statements.
At the date of these financial statements, the following standards and amendments that are potentially relevant to the Group,
and which have not been applied in these financial statements, were in issue but not yet effective:
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements (not yet endorsed by the UK); and
IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (not yet endorsed by the UK); and
amendments to IAS 21, Lack of exchangeability.
The adoption of these standards and interpretations in future periods is not expected to have a material impact on the financial
statements of the Group.
The Group has applied the temporary exception issued by the International Accounting Standards Board from the accounting
requirements for deferred taxes in IAS 12 arising from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD)
international tax reform. Accordingly, the Group neither recognises nor discloses information about deferred tax assets and liabilities
related to Global Minimum Tax income taxes.
Alternative performance measures
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with adopted IFRS and applied in accordance with the provisions of the
Companies Act 2006. In measuring our performance, the financial measures that we use include those which have been derived
from our reported results, to eliminate factors which distort year-on-year comparisons.
These are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We believe this information, along with comparable GAAP measurements,
is useful to stakeholders in providing a basis for measuring our operational performance. The Board uses these financial measures,
along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our performance (see Note 29).
Prior year restatement
An error has been identified with the Group’s classification of a German pension scheme as a defined contribution scheme,
as opposed to a defined benefit scheme, following a request for funding from the pension scheme support fund. In line with IAS 8,
the Group has restated balances at 30 June 2024 and 1 July 2023.
The impact on the financial statements as 1 July 2023 was the recognition of a non-current liability employee benefit of £20,493,000
and a reimbursement right asset of £11,348,000. A corresponding net deferred tax asset of £2,651,000 has also been recognised.
The net effect was a reduction in retained earnings of £6,494,000.
At 30 June 2024, the closing non-current liability employee benefit and reimbursement right asset were of £21,349,000 and
£12,116,000 respectively. A corresponding net deferred tax asset of £2,677,000 has also been recognised. The total adjustment
recognised through the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and expense related to the ‘Remeasurement of defined
benefit pension scheme assets/liabilities/reimbursement right and ‘Deferred tax on remeasurement of defined benefit pension
scheme assets/liabilities/reimbursement right’ was a loss of £88,000 and a gain of £26,000 respectively. See Note 23 Employee
benefits for further details.

Critical accounting judgements and estimation uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with UK-adopted IAS requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. The results of this form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may therefore differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The areas of critical accounting judgements and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment
to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are summarised below with further details included within
accounting policies as indicated.

Climate change
We have considered the potential effect of physical and transitional climate change risks when preparing these consolidated
financial statements and have also considered the effect of our own Net Zero commitments. Our consideration of the potential effect
of climate change on these consolidated financial statements included reviewing:
discounted cash flow forecasts, used in accounting for goodwill, capitalised development costs, and deferred tax assets;
useful economic lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment;
planned use of right-of-use assets; and
expected demand for inventories.
We also considered the estimated capital expenditure needed in the next five years to deliver our Net Zero plan.
Overall, we do not believe that climate change has a material effect on our accounting judgements and estimates, nor in the carrying
value of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025. We will continue to review
this, and update our accounting and disclosures as the position changes.
Going concern
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors have adopted the going concern basis. The decision to adopt the going
concern basis was made after considering:
the Group’s strategy and business model, as set out on pages 11 to 14;
the Group’s risk management processes and principal risks, disclosed on pages 15 to 23;
the Group’s financial resources and strategies (pages 31 to 33); and
the process undertaken to review the Group’s viability, including scenario testing, as set out on page 24.
The financial models for the viability review were based on the pessimistic version of the five-year business plan, but covering
a period to 30 September 2028. For context, revenue in the first year of this pessimistic base scenario is lower than the FY2025
revenue of £713.0m, while costs and other cash outflows still reflect ambitious growth plans. In the going concern assessment, the
Directors reviewed this same version of the plan but to 30 September 2026, as well as the ‘severe but plausible’ scenarios used in
the viability review, again to 30 September 2026. These scenarios reflected a significant reduction in revenue, a significant increase
in costs, and a third scenario incorporating both a reduction to revenue and an increase in costs but to a lesser degree than the first
two scenarios. In each scenario the Group’s cash balances remained positive throughout the period to 30 September 2026.
The Directors also reviewed a reverse stress test for the period to 30 September 2026, identifying what would need to happen
in this period for the Group to deplete its cash and cash equivalents and bank deposit balances. This identified a trading level
so low that the Directors feel that the events that could trigger this would be remote. The Directors also concluded that the risk of
a one-off cash outflow that would exhaust the Group’s cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits balances in the assessment
period was also remote.
Based on this assessment, incorporating a review of the current position, the scenarios, the principal risks and mitigation, the
Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue operating and meet its liabilities as they fall due
over the period to 30 September 2026.

2. Revenue disaggregation and segmental analysis
We manage our business by segment, comprising Manufacturing technologies and Analytical instruments and medical
devices, and by geographical region. The results of these segments and regions are regularly reviewed by the Board to
assess performance and allocate resources, and are presented in this note.
Accounting policy
The Group generates revenue from the sale of goods, capital equipment and services. These can be sold both on their own
and together.
a) Sale of goods, capital equipment and services
The Group’s contracts with customers consist both of contracts with one performance obligation and contracts with multiple
performance obligations.
For contracts with one performance obligation, revenue is measured at the transaction price, which is typically the contract value
except for customers entitled to volume rebates, and recognised at the point in time when control of the product transfers to the
customer. This point in time is typically when the products are made available for collection by the customer, collected by the
shipping agent, or delivered to the customer, depending upon the shipping terms applied to the specific contract.
Contracts with multiple performance obligations typically exist where, in addition to supplying products, we also supply services
such as user training, servicing and maintenance, and installation. Where the installation service is simple, does not include
a significant integration service and could be performed by another party then the installation is accounted for as a separate
performance obligation. Where the contracts include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each
performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling prices. The revenue allocated to each performance obligation is
then recognised when, or as, that performance obligation is satisfied. For installation, this is typically at the point in time in which
installation is complete. For training, this is typically the point in time at which training is delivered. For servicing and maintenance,
the revenue is recognised evenly over the course of the servicing agreement except for ad-hoc servicing and maintenance which
is recognised at the point in time in which the work is undertaken.
b) Sale of software
The Group provides software licences and software maintenance to customers, sold both on their own and together with
associated products. For software licences, where the licence and/or maintenance is provided as part of a contract that provides
customers with software licences and other goods and services then the transaction price is allocated on the same basis as
described in a) above.
The Group’s distinct software licences provide a right of use, and therefore revenue from software licences is recognised at the
point in time in which the licence is supplied to the customer. Revenue from software maintenance is recognised evenly over the
term of the maintenance agreement.
c) Extended warranties
The Group provides standard warranties to customers that address potential latent defects that existed at point of sale and
as required by law (assurance-type warranties). In some contracts, the Group also provides warranties that extend beyond the
standard warranty period and may be sold to the customer (service-type warranties).
Assurance-type warranties are accounted for by the Group under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets’. Service-type warranties are accounted for as separate performance obligations and therefore a portion of the transaction
price is allocated to this element, and then recognised evenly over the period in which the service is provided.
d) Contract balances
Contract assets represent the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods, capital equipment and/or services that have
been transferred to a customer, and mainly includes accrued revenue in respect of goods and services provided to a customer
but not yet fully billed. Contract assets are distinct from receivables, which represent the Group’s right to consideration that
is unconditional.
Contract liabilities represent the Group’s obligation to transfer goods, capital equipment and/or services to a customer for which
the Group has either received consideration or consideration is due from the customer.
e) Disaggregation of revenue
The Group disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers between: goods, capital equipment and installation, and
aftermarket services; reporting segment; and geographical location.
Management believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the Group’s revenue is
affected by economic factors.

2. Revenue disaggregation and segmental analysis continued
Within the Manufacturing technologies business there are multiple product offerings with similar economic characteristics, similar
production processes and similar customer bases. Our Manufacturing technologies business consists of industrial metrology,
position measurement and additive manufacturing (AM) product groups. Analytical instruments and medical devices represents
all other operating segments within the Group, which consists of spectroscopy and neurological product lines. More details of the
Group’s products and services are given in the Strategic Report.

4. Cost of sales
Our cost of sales includes the costs to manufacture our products and our engineering spend on existing and new
products, net of capitalisation and research and development tax credits.
Accounting policy
We receive both government grants and RDEC (tax credits) for research and development projects. For research projects,
where the costs have not been capitalised, we recognise a deduction against expenditure within Cost of sales in the
Consolidated income statement (having initially recognised the grant in the Consolidated balance sheet if it was received in
advance of the related expense). Where a grant or RDEC is received for capitalised development costs, we initially recognise
it in the Consolidated balance sheet and then release it to match the amortisation within Cost of sales. Both types are only
recognised when we have reasonable assurance that any grant conditions will be met.
Included in cost of sales are the following amounts:

Production costs includes the raw material and component costs, payroll costs and sub-contract costs, and allocated overheads
associated with manufacturing our products.
Research and development expenditure includes the payroll costs, material costs and allocated overheads attributed to projects
identified as relating to new products or processes. Other engineering expenditure includes the payroll costs, material costs and
allocated overheads attributed to projects identified as relating to existing products or processes.
5. Financial income and expenses
Financial income mainly arises from bank interest on our deposits. We are exposed to realised currency gains and losses
on translation of foreign currency denominated intragroup balances and offsetting financial instruments.
Included in financial income and expenses are the following amounts:
2025 2024
Financial income £’000 £’000

Currency losses relate to revaluations of foreign currency-denominated balances using latest reporting currency exchange rates.
The losses recognised in FY2024 and FY2025 largely related to an appreciation of Sterling relative to the US dollar affecting US
dollar-denominated intragroup balances in the Company. Rolling one-month forward currency contracts are used to offset currency
movements on certain intragroup balances, with fair value gains and losses being recognised in financial income or expenses.
See Note 25 for further details. The net currency movement of foreign currency-denominated balances and one-month forward
currency contracts was a loss of £539,000 (2024: loss of £1,327,000).
Other interest payable includes liabilities recognised of £4,852,000 for historical and non-recurring tax matters, see Note 7 for
further details.

7. Taxation
The Group tax charge is affected by our geographic mix of profits and other factors explained in this note. Our expected
future tax charges and related tax assets are also set out in the deferred tax section, together with our view on whether
we will be able to make use of these in the future.
Accounting policy
Tax on the profit for the year comprises current, deferred and global minimum taxes. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated
income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in Other comprehensive income, in which case
it is recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and expense. Current tax is the expected tax payable
on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any
adjustment to tax payable in previous years.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for:
the initial recognition of goodwill;
the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit other than in a business
combination; and
differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of
assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits (including the future release of deferred
tax liabilities) will be available, against which the deductible temporary differences can be used, based on management’s
assumptions relating to the amounts and timing of future taxable profits. Estimates of future profitability on an entity basis are
required to ascertain whether it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will arise to support the recognition of deferred tax
assets relating to the corresponding entity.
Key judgement – Whether uncertain tax positions need to be recognised
The Group is subject to a range of tax legislation that can vary by jurisdiction, and tax compliance for global businesses is
increasingly complex. The objective of our tax strategy is to comply with all applicable tax laws and regulations in the territories
that the Group operates in, however sometimes the tax treatment of transactions and events can be uncertain.
Where this is the case, judgement is needed in how these uncertain tax treatments should be reflected in preparing the financial
statements, particularly as such topics are often complex and can take several years to resolve. This year, the nature and potential
value of the issues under review were significant and were a key judgement for management.

Effective tax rate
29.0%
21.0%
We operate in many countries around the world and the overall effective tax rate (ETR) is a result of the combination of the varying
tax rates applicable throughout these countries. The FY2025 ETR has increased mainly due to the Global minimum tax charge of
£757,000 and a prior year adjustment of £9,154,000 relating to historical and non-recurring tax matters. The tax matters relate to
specific legacy arrangements which we would not expect to recur. Applicable accounting standards require a full provision for tax and
the associated interest of £4,852,000, however, we continue to seek resolution to these matters which would reduce these amounts.
The Group’s future ETR largely depends on the geographic mix of profits and whether there are any changes to tax legislation in the
Group’s most significant countries of operations.
The Finance (No 2) Bill 2023, that includes Pillar Two legislation, was substantively enacted on 20 June 2023 for IFRS purposes.
The Pillar Two rules came into effect for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024, therefore the rules apply to the
Group from FY2025 onwards.
The Group has accrued Global minimum tax of £757,000 for FY2025 (FY2024: nil) in respect of Ireland, which is due to the statutory
corporate income tax rate of 12.5% on trading income being lower than the global minimum tax rate of 15%. The impact on the
effective tax rate of the Group as a result was 0.6% (FY2024: 0.0%). This is in line with the Group’s expectations in FY2024 that the
impact would not exceed a 0.7% increase to the Group’s ETR in FY2025. The Group will continue to assess the future impact of
Pillar Two based on the latest guidance and law changes of each jurisdiction that it operates in to ensure compliance.

7. Taxation continued
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right of offset and there is an intention to net settle
the balances. After taking these offsets into account, the net position of £16.4m liability (2024: £13.2m liability) is presented as
a £22.4m deferred tax asset (2024: £20.4m asset) and a £38.8m deferred tax liability (2024: £33.6m liability) in the Consolidated
balance sheet.
Where deferred tax assets are recognised, the Directors are of the opinion, based on recent and forecast trading, that the level of
profits in current and future years make it more likely than not that these assets will be recovered.
Deferred tax balances at the end of the year were:

Deferred tax assets of £1.5m (2024: £1.8m) in respect of losses are recognised where it is considered likely that the business will
generate sufficient future taxable profits. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of tax losses carried forward of £5.0m
(2024: £6.1m), due to uncertainty over their offset against future taxable profits and therefore their recoverability. These losses are held by
Group companies in Brazil, Australia, Canada, UAE and the US, where for 90% of losses there are no time limitations on their utilisation.
In determining profit forecasts for each Group company, the key variable is the revenue forecast, which has been estimated using
consistently applied external and internal data sources. Sensitivity analysis indicates that a reduction of 5% to relevant revenue
forecasts would result in an impairment to deferred tax assets recognised in respect of losses and intragroup trading (inventories)
of around £0.2m. An increase of 5% to relevant revenue forecasts would result in additions to deferred tax assets in respect of tax
losses not recognised of around £0.3m.
It is likely that the majority of unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries would qualify for the UK dividend exemption.
However, £73.7m (2024: £68.3m) of those earnings may still result in a tax liability principally as a result of withholding taxes
levied by the overseas jurisdictions in which those subsidiaries operate. These tax liabilities are not expected to exceed £5.2m
(2024: £4.3m), of which £nil (2024: £0.4m) has been provided on the basis that the Group does not expect to remit these amounts
in the foreseeable future.

8. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is the amount of profit generated in a financial year attributable to equity shareholders,
divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year.
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated on earnings of £83,757,000 (2024: £96,889,000) and on 72,734,797 shares
(2024: 72,719,565 shares), being the number of shares in issue. The number of shares excludes 53,746 (2024: 68,978) shares
held by the Employee Benefit Trust (EBT). On this basis, earnings per share (basic and diluted) is calculated as 115.2 pence
(2024: 133.2 pence).
There is no difference between the weighted average earnings per share and the basic and diluted earnings per share.
For the calculation of adjusted earnings per share, per Note 29, earnings of £83,757,000 were adjusted by post-tax amounts for:
Costs related to the closure of the drug delivery business, £2,059,000 loss;
Costs related to the closure of the Edinburgh research facility, £2,320,000 loss;
Other interest payable related to liabilities recognised for historical and non-recurring tax matters, £4,852,000 loss; and
Taxation prior year adjustment related to historical and non-recurring tax matters, £9,154,000 loss.
There is no difference between statutory and adjusted earnings per share in FY2024.
9. Property, plant and equipment
The Group makes significant investments in distribution and manufacturing infrastructure. During the year we have
invested in our manufacturing equipment at our Miskin facility in Wales, UK, following the expansion in the previous year.
Accounting policy
Freehold land is not depreciated. Other assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses, if any. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of assets less their estimated residual value on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful economic lives as follows: freehold buildings, 50 years; building infrastructure, 10 to 50 years; plant
and equipment, 3 to 25 years; and vehicles, 3 to 4 years.

10. Right-of-use assets
The Group leases distribution properties and cars from third parties and recognises an associated right-of-use asset
where we are afforded control and economic benefit from the use of the asset.
Accounting policy
At the commencement date of a lease arrangement the Group recognises a right-of-use asset for the leased item and a lease
liability for any payments due. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, being the present value of the lease liability plus
any initial costs incurred in entering the lease and less any incentives received. See Note 21 for further detail on lease liabilities.
Right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the earlier of the end
of the useful life or the end of the lease term.

11. Investment properties
The Group’s investment properties consist of properties in the UK, Ireland, India and Switzerland, which are occupied
by rent-paying third parties. During the year, we have transferred two properties from Property, plant and equipment
to Investment properties following a change in use in the UK and Switzerland.
Accounting policy
Where property owned by the Group is held to earn rentals or for long-term capital growth it is recognised as investment property.
Where a property is part-occupied by the Group, portions of the property are recognised as investment property if they meet
the above description and if these portions could be sold separately and reliably measured. If the portions could not be sold
separately, the property is recognised as an investment property only if a significant proportion is held for rental or
appreciation purposes.
The Group has elected to value investment properties on a cost basis, initially comprising of the purchase price and any directly
attributable expenditure. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
economic lives, being 50 years. Amounts relating to freehold land is not depreciated.

12. Intangible assets
Our Consolidated balance sheet contains significant intangible assets, mainly for goodwill (which arises when we acquire
a business and pay a higher amount than the fair value of its net assets) and capitalised development costs. We make
significant investments into the development of new products, a key part of our business model, and some of these costs
are initially capitalised and then written off over the lifetime of future sales of that product.
Accounting policy
Goodwill arising on acquisition represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net
identifiable assets acquired, net of deferred tax. Identifiable intangibles are those which can be sold separately or which arise
from legal rights regardless of whether those rights are separable.
Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. It is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment or
earlier if there are any indications of impairment. The annual impairment review involves comparing the carrying amount to the
estimated recoverable amount and recognising an impairment loss if the recoverable amount is lower. Impairment losses are
recognised in the Consolidated income statement.
Intangible assets such as customer lists, patents, trademarks, know-how and intellectual property that are acquired by the Group
are stated at cost less amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is charged to the Consolidated income statement on
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets. The estimated useful lives of the intangible assets
included in the Consolidated balance sheet reflect the benefit derived by the Group and vary from five to 10 years.
Expenditure on research activities is recognised in the Consolidated income statement as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on
development activities is capitalised if: the product or process is technically and commercially feasible; the Group intends and has
the technical ability and sufficient resources to complete development; future economic benefits are probable; and the Group can
measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes.
The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads.
Other development expenditure is recognised in the Consolidated income statement as an expense as incurred.
Capitalised development expenditure is amortised over the useful economic life appropriate to each product or process, ranging
from five to 10 years, and is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and less accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation
commences when a product or process is available for use as intended by management. Capitalised development expenditure
is removed from the balance sheet 10 years after being fully amortised.
All non-current assets are tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that their carrying value may be impaired.
An impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated income statement to the extent that an asset’s carrying value exceeds
its recoverable amount, which represents the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. An asset’s
value-in-use represents the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset or from the cash-
generating unit to which it relates. The present value is calculated using a discount rate that reflects the current market
assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset concerned.
Goodwill and capitalised development costs are subject to an annual impairment test.
Key judgement – Whether a project meets the criteria for capitalisation
Product development costs are capitalised once a project has reached a certain stage of development, being the point at which
the product has passed testing to demonstrate it meets the technical specifications of the project and it satisfies all applicable
regulations. Judgement is required to assess whether the new product development has reached the appropriate point for
capitalisation of costs to begin. These costs are subsequently amortised over their useful economic life once ready for use.
Should a product become obsolete, the accumulated capitalised development costs would need to be immediately written off
in the Consolidated income statement.
Key estimate – Estimates of future cash flows used for impairment testing
Determining whether goodwill and capitalised development costs are impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use of
cash-generating units (CGUs) to which goodwill has been allocated. To calculate the value-in-use we need to estimate the future
cash flows of each CGU and select the appropriate discount rate for each CGU.

Goodwill
Goodwill has arisen on the acquisition of several businesses and has an indeterminable useful life. It is therefore not amortised but is
instead tested for impairment annually and at any point during the year when an indicator of impairment exists. Goodwill is allocated
to cash generating units (CGUs), as set out below. This is the lowest level in the Group at which goodwill is monitored for impairment.
The analysis of goodwill according to business acquired is:

5,497
Other smaller acquisitions
660
710
Total goodwill
10,854
11,230
The recoverable amounts of acquired goodwill are based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections
based on the financial business plans approved by management for the next five financial years. The cash flows beyond this
forecast are extrapolated to perpetuity using a nil growth rate on a prudent basis, to reflect the uncertainties over forecasting beyond
five years.
The following pre-tax discount rates have been used in discounting the projected cash flows:
2025 2024
Business acquired
CGU
Discount rate Discount rate
itp GmbH
itp GmbH entity (‘ITP’)
15.1%
13.6%
Renishaw Fixturing Solutions, LLC
Renishaw plc (‘PLC’)
16.5%
14.6%
Renishaw Mayfield S.A.
Renishaw Mayfield S.A. entity (‘Mayfield’)
20.5%
24.6%
The Group post-tax weighted average cost of capital, calculated at 30 June 2025, is 11.6% (2024: 10.7%). Pre-tax discount rates for
Manufacturing technologies CGUs (ITP and PLC) are calculated from this basis, given that they are aligned with the wider Group’s
industries, markets and processes. The Analytical instruments and medical devices’ CGU (Mayfield) has a higher risk weighting,
reflecting the less mature nature of this segment.
CGU specific five-year business plans have been used in determining cash flow projections. Within these plans, revenue forecasts are
calculated with reference to external market data, past outperformance, and new product launches, consistent with revenue forecasts
across the Group. Production costs, engineering costs, distribution costs and administrative expenses are calculated based on
management’s best estimates of what is required to support revenue growth and new product development. Estimates of capital
expenditure and working capital requirements are also included in the cash flow projections. The key estimate within these business
plans is the forecast revenue growth, given that the cost bases of the businesses can be flexed in line with revenue performance.
Given the average revenue growth assumptions included in the five-year business plans, management’s sensitivity analysis involves
modelling a reduction in the forecast cash flows utilised in those business plans and therefore into perpetuity.
A growth rate of 0.0% (2024: 0.0%) is used to derive the value in perpetuity in all CGUs.
For there to be an impairment in the PLC, ITP or Mayfield CGUs, the pre-tax discount rate would need to increase to at least 20%,
21% and 25% respectively, or there would need to be a reduction to forecast cash flows of 18%, 30% and 8% respectively.
Internally generated development costs
The key assumption in determining the value-in-use for internally generated development costs is the forecast unit sales over the
useful economic life, which is determined by management using their knowledge and experience with similar products and the
sales history of products already available in the market. Resulting cash flow projections over five to 10 years, the period over which
product demand forecasts can be reasonably predicted and internally generated development costs are written off, are discounted
using pre-tax discount rates, which are calculated from the Group post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 11.6% (2024: 10.7%).
There were impairments of internally generated development costs in the year of £1.8m (2024: £3.3m). This includes a £0.9m
impairment of our chronic drug delivery intangible asset, following the decision to close the drug delivery business during the year.
The remaining £0.9m is for three other projects where revenue growth is now expected to be lower than previously forecast.
For the largest projects, comprising 97% of the net book value at 30 June 2025, a 10% reduction to forecast unit sales,
or an increase in the discount rate by 5%, would not result in an impairment.

13. Investments in joint ventures
Where we make an investment in a company which gives us significant influence but not full control, we account for
our share of their post-tax profits in our financial statements. We have joint venture arrangements with two companies,
RLS and MSP.
The Group’s investments in joint ventures (all investments being in the ordinary share capital of the joint ventures), whose accounting
years end on 30 June, were:
Country of incorporation and 2025 2024

Metrology Software Products Limited (‘MSP’)–joint venture
England & Wales
70.0
70.0
Although the Group owns 70% of the ordinary share capital of MSP, this is accounted for as a joint venture as the control
requirements of IFRS 10 are not satisfied. This is because the shareholders agreement includes that for so long as the Group’s
holding is less than 75% of the total shares of MSP, Renishaw plc agrees to exercise its voting rights such that it only votes as if it has
the same aggregate shareholding as the remaining Management Shareholders.

14. Leases (as lessor)
The Group acts as a lessor for Renishaw-manufactured equipment on finance and operating lease arrangements.
This is mainly for high-value capital equipment such as our additive manufacturing machines.
Accounting policy
Where the Group transfers the risks and rewards of ownership of lease assets to a third party, the Group recognises a receivable
in the amount of the net investment in the lease. The lease receivable is subsequently reduced by the principal received, while an
interest component is recognised as financial income in the Consolidated income statement. Standard contract terms are up to
five years and there is a nominal residual value receivable at the end of the contract.
Where the Group retains the risks and rewards of ownership of lease assets, it continues to recognise the leased asset in Property,
plant and equipment. Income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recognised as
revenue rather than other revenue as such income is not material. Operating leases are on one to five year terms.
The total future lease payments are split between the principal and interest amounts below:

15. Cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits
We have always valued having cash in the bank to protect the Group from downturns and enable us to react swiftly to
investment or market capture opportunities. We currently hold significant cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits,
mostly in the UK and spread across several banks with high credit ratings.
Accounting policy
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, and deposits with an original maturity of less than three months or with an
original maturity date of more than three months where the deposit can be accessed on demand without significant penalty for
early withdrawal and where the original deposit amount is recoverable in full.

16. Inventories
We have continued to focus on our inventory holding requirements, with a small reduction in total inventories, and remain
committed to high customer delivery performance.
Accounting policy
Inventory and work in progress is valued at the lower of actual cost on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis and net realisable value.
In respect of work in progress and finished goods, cost includes all production overheads and the attributable proportion of
indirect overhead expenses that are required to bring inventories to their present location and condition. Overheads are absorbed
into inventories on the basis of normal capacity or on actual hours if higher.
Key estimate – Determination of net realisable inventory value
Determining the net realisable value of inventory requires management to estimate future demand, especially in respect of
provisioning for slow moving and potentially obsolete inventory. When calculating an inventory provision management generates
an estimate of future demand for individual inventory items (capped at 3 years) based upon the higher of 12 months of historical
usage or 12 months of demand from customer orders and manufacturing build plans. A 50% provision is calculated where actual
holdings represent between 3 to 5 years’ worth of future demand, and 100% is calculated where actual holdings represent over
5 years’ worth of future demand. Adjustments are made where needed, for example where it is highly likely that there will be an
increase in sales beyond the 12-month demand period or where there are obsolescence programmes.

At the end of the year, the gross cost of inventories which had provisions held against them totalled £29.4m (2024: £29.6m).
During the year, the amount of write-down of inventories recognised as an expense in the Consolidated income statement was
£1.0m (2024: £6.2m).
Inventories in Renishaw plc account for 61% (2024: 63%) of the total Inventories of the Group. A 10% reduction in the estimate of
future demand for all Renishaw plc inventory items would result in an increase in the inventory provision of £0.4m (2024: £0.6m).
17. Provisions
A provision is a liability recorded in the Consolidated balance sheet, where there is uncertainty over the timing or amount
that will be paid.
Accounting policy
The Group provides a warranty from the date of purchase, except for those products that are installed by the Group where the
warranty starts from the date of completion of the installation. This is typically for a 12-month period, although up to three years
is given for a small number of products. A warranty provision is included in the Group financial statements, which is calculated
on the basis of historical returns and internal quality reports.

years of the balance sheet date.
Other provisions comprises interest payable liabilities of £4,852,000 for historical and non-recurring tax matters, see Note 7 for
further details, and an onerous contract provision of £1,300,000.

20. Borrowings
The Group’s only source of external borrowing is a fixed-interest loan facility in our Japanese subsidiary, entered into
to directly finance the purchase of a new distribution facility in Japan in FY2019.
Third-party borrowings at 30 June 2025 consist of a loan entered into on 31 May 2019 by Renishaw KK, with original principal of
JPY 1,447,000,000 10,486,000). Principal of JPY 12,000,000 is repayable each month, with a fixed interest rate of 0.81% also paid
on monthly accretion for the first five years. This loan was extended for an additional five years in May 2024, with a fixed interest rate
of 1.41% payable for the remaining term, at which time the principal will have been repaid in full. There are no covenants attached
to this loan.

is estimated by discounting contractual future cash flows, which represents level 2 of the fair value hierarchy defined in Note 25.

21. Leases (as lessee)
The Group leases distribution properties and cars from third parties and recognises an associated lease liability for the
total present value of payments the lease contracts commit us to.
Accounting policy
At the commencement date of a lease arrangement the Group recognises a right-of-use asset for the leased item and a lease
liability for any payments due. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid
at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of the applicable entity. The lease liability is
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method and is remeasured if there is a change in future
lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate (such as an inflation-linked increase) or if there is a change in the
Group’s assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or termination option. When this happens there is a corresponding
adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Where the Group enters into leases with a lease term of 12-months or less, these are treated
as ‘short-term’ leases and are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in the Consolidated income statement. The same
treatment applies to low-value assets, which are typically IT equipment and office equipment.

23. Employee benefits
The Group operates contributory pension schemes for UK, Ireland and German employees which are of the defined
benefit type. The UK and Ireland schemes were closed to new members on 5 April 2007 and 31 December 2007 respectively,
at which time they ceased any future accrual for existing members. The German scheme closed to new members on
30 June 2012, however the scheme is open to future accrual for existing members. The Group’s largest defined benefit
scheme is in the UK.
Accounting policy
Defined benefit pension schemes are managed by trustees who are independent of the Group finances. Investment assets of the
schemes are measured at fair value using the bid price of the unitised investments, quoted by the investment manager, at the
reporting date. For buy-in insurance contracts, where the income received from a policy matches exactly the benefit payments
due to the members it is covering, the value attributable to the contract to be recognised as an asset is the equivalent IAS 19
value of the corresponding liabilities. Reimbursement assets are measured at fair value, quoted by the insurance company,
at the reporting date. Reimbursement assets are not classified as a plan asset as they are not a qualifying insurance policy.
Pension scheme liabilities are measured using a projected unit method and discounted at the current rate of return on a high-
quality corporate bond of equivalent term and currency to the liability. Remeasurements arising from defined benefit schemes
comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on scheme assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any,
excluding interest). The Company recognises them immediately in Other comprehensive income and all other expenses related
to defined benefit schemes are included in the Consolidated income statement.
The pension schemes’ surpluses, to the extent that they are considered recoverable, or deficits are recognised in full and presented
on the face of the Consolidated balance sheet under Employee benefits. Where a guarantee is in place in relation to a pension
scheme deficit, liabilities are reported in accordance with IFRIC 14 The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding
Requirements and their Interaction’. To the extent that contributions payable will not be available as a refund after they are paid into
the plan, a liability is recognised at the point the obligation arises, which is the point at which the minimum funding guarantee is
agreed. Overseas-based employees are covered by a combination of state, defined benefit and private pension schemes in their
countries of residence. Actuarial valuations of overseas pension schemes were not obtained, apart from Ireland and Germany.
For defined contribution schemes, the amount charged to the Consolidated income statement represents the contributions
payable to the schemes in respect of the accounting period.
Key estimate – Valuation of defined benefit pension schemes’ liabilities
Determining the value of the future defined benefit obligation requires estimation in respect of the assumptions used to determine
the present values. These include future mortality, discount rate and inflation. Management makes these estimates in consultation
with independent actuaries.
Key judgement – Whether past service costs need to be recognised
Management also need to determine the appropriate accounting treatment for past service costs, and do so in consultation with
independent legal advisors and actuaries.
The total pension cost of the Group for the year was £29.3m (2024: £27.9m), of which £0.1m (2024: £0.1m) related to Directors and
£6.2m (2024: £6.5m) related to overseas schemes. The latest full actuarial valuation of the UK defined benefit pension scheme
(‘UK scheme’) was carried out as at 30 September 2021 and updated to 30 June 2025 by a qualified independent actuary. The full
actuarial valuation as at 30 September 2024 is in progress.
The Group operates a defined benefit pension scheme for certain employees within Germany. An error has been identified with the
Group’s classification of the German pension scheme as a defined contribution scheme, as opposed to a defined benefit scheme,
following a request for funding from the pension scheme support fund. In line with IAS 8, the Group has restated balances as at
30 June 2024 and 1 July 2023. The actuarial valuation of the liabilities has been prepared by a qualified actuary.
The mortality assumption used for FY2025 is the S3PxA base tables and CMI 2023 model, with long-term improvements of
1% per annum. Adjustments have been made to both the core base tables and CMI 2023 model to allow for the scheme’s
membership profile and best estimate assumptions of future mortality improvements. The CMI 2024 model was released on
30 June 2025, we will adopt this model as part of our mid-year accounting at 31 December 2025.

Note C.45 gives the analysis of the UK scheme. For the Ireland scheme, the market value of assets at the end of the year was £14.8m
(2024: £14.0m) and the actuarial value of liabilities was £11.0m (2024: £11.9m). The UK scheme was in a net surplus position at
30 June 2025 totalling £7.6m (2024: surplus £8.7m), and is therefore presented in non-current assets in the Consolidated balance
sheet. The Ireland scheme was in a net asset position at 30 June 2025 totalling £3.8m (2024: £2.1m), and is therefore also presented
in non-current assets. For the German scheme, the actuarial value of liabilities was £21.1m (2024: £21.3m), which is presented
gross in non-current liabilities. The German scheme does not have any plan assets, rather a reimbursement right asset of £12.9m
(2024: £12.1m) which is separately disclosed in the Consolidated balance sheet in assets.
During FY2024, the Trustee of the UK scheme undertook a buy-in and insured around 99% of the UK scheme’s liabilities by
purchasing an insurance policy. This contract was effective from 19 October 2023 and is held in the name of the Trustee. The value
of the contract is recognised as a UK scheme asset for the purposes of IAS 19. In line with IAS 19.115, for a buy-in insurance contract
such as this, where the income received from the policy matches exactly the benefit payments due to the members it is covering, the
value attributable to the contract to be recognised as an asset is the equivalent IAS 19 value of the corresponding liabilities.
Equities are held in externally-managed funds and primarily relate to UK and US equities. Credit and fixed income funds, and index
linked gilts relate to UK, US and Eurozone government-linked securities, again held in externally-managed funds. The fair values of
these equity and fixed income instruments are determined using the bid price of the unitised investments, quoted by the investment
manager, at the reporting date and therefore represent level 2 of the fair value hierarchy defined in Note 25. Multi-asset funds are
also held in externally-managed funds, with active asset allocation to diversify growth across asset classes such as equities, bonds
and money-market instruments. The fair value of these funds is determined on a comparable basis to the equity and fixed income
funds, and therefore are also level 2 assets. Cash and other at 30 June 2025 mostly comprises amounts held in a Sterling bank
account, in which the principal is preserved and same day liquidity is available.
No scheme assets are directly invested in the Group’s own equity.

The cumulative amount of actuarial gains and losses recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and
expense was a loss of £63.9m (2024: loss of £66.7m).
The net surplus of the Group’s defined benefit pension schemes, including the reimbursement right, on an IAS 19 basis,
has increased from £1.6m at 30 June 2024 to £3.2m at 30 June 2025, primarily as a result of actuarial movements.
For the UK scheme, the latest actuarial report prepared in September 2021 shows a deficit of £52.8m, which is based on funding
to self-sufficiency and uses prudent assumptions. IAS 19 requires best estimate assumptions to be used, resulting in the IAS 19 net
surplus being higher than the actuarial deficit.
The existing deficit funding plan for the UK scheme is in place until 30 June 2031, at which time any outstanding deficit will be paid.
The agreement will end sooner if the actuarial deficit (calculated on a self-sufficiency basis) is eliminated in the meantime. The net
book value of properties subject to fixed charges under this agreement at 30 June 2025 was £48.7m (2024: £45.9m).
The charges may be enforced by the Trustees if one of the following occurs: (a) the Company does not pay funds into the scheme
in line with the agreed plan; (b) an insolvency event occurs in relation to the Company; or (c) the Company does not pay any deficit
at 30 June 2031.
Under the Ireland defined benefit pension scheme deficit funding plan, a property owned by Renishaw Ireland (DAC) is subject
to a registered fixed charge to secure the Ireland defined benefit pension scheme’s deficit.
For the UK scheme, a guide to the sensitivity of the value of the respective liabilities is as follows:

Benefits in the UK Fund are subject to a DC underpin at the point of retirement or transfer out. Historically, this has been allowed
for in the accounts in a consistent manner to current administrative practice and the triennial funding valuations. During the buy-in
process, it was identified that the drafting of the DC underpin in the UK Fund Rules may require that the DC underpin is applied in
a manner which is different to the administrative practice which has been applied. The Trustee and Company are currently seeking
legal clarification and advice on this issue, with the intention of correcting the Rules to match administrative practice. No allowance
for this matter has been made in the 30 June 2025 financial statements, as management continue to assess it to be unlikely that
there will be an increase in liabilities, and due to the uncertainty of legal treatment and therefore any potential impact on liabilities.
In June 2023, the High Court ruled that certain historical amendments made to the rules of the Virgin Media pension scheme were
invalid without the scheme’s actuary having provided the associated Section 37 certificates. This judgment was upheld by the
Court of Appeal in July 2024, which has implications on other schemes that were contracted-out on a salary-related basis, and
made amendments between April 1997 and April 2016. The UK scheme was contracted out until 5 April 2007 and amendments
were made during the relevant period and as such the ruling could have implications for the UK scheme. In June 2025, the UK
Government announced it will introduce legislation to allow affected pension schemes to retrospectively obtain written actuarial
confirmation that historical benefit changes met the necessary standards. The Company and the Trustees have commenced a
review of all amending documents between 6 April 1997 and 5 April 2016 for the scheme to determine whether proper procedures
were undertaken at the time of the amendments by the Trustees, actuaries and administrators. The Trustee and Company continue
to seek legal advice on this matter and will act appropriately to obtain retrospective actuarial confirmation where appropriate.
At the date of approving these financial statements, the possible implications, if any, for the UK scheme not having all Section 37
certificates have not been investigated in detail. Accordingly, no amendments for this matter have been included in the IAS 19
actuarial valuation as the impact, if any, cannot be reliably assessed.
Reimbursement right
The Group has recognised a reimbursement right in respect of its pension obligation for the German scheme. At 30 June 2025, the
value of reimbursement right is £12,909,000 (2024: £12,116,000). This asset relates to an insurance policy that reimburses the Group
for pension payments made to scheme members. The reimbursement right is not classified as a plan asset as it is not a qualifying
insurance policy. The insurance policy is held with a regulated insurer and covers a portion of the pension benefits payable under
the plan. The reimbursement right is considered virtually certain and has been measured at fair value.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
24. Share-based payments
The Group provides share-based payment arrangements to certain employees in accordance with the Renishaw plc
deferred annual equity incentive plan. The Governance section provides information of how these awards are determined.
Accounting policy
Renishaw shares are granted in accordance with the Renishaw plc deferred annual equity incentive plan (the DAEIP). The share
awards are subject only to continuing service of the employee and are equity settled. The fair value of the awards at the date of
grant, which is estimated to be equal to the market value, is charged to the Consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis
over a three-year vesting period, with appropriate adjustments made to reflect expected or actual forfeitures. The corresponding
credit is to Other reserve.
The number of shares to be awarded is calculated by dividing the relevant amount of annual bonus under the DAEIP by the
average price of a share during a period determined by the Remuneration Committee of not more than five dealing days ending
with the dealing day before the award date. These shares must be purchased on the open market and cannot be satisfied by
issuance of new shares or transfer of existing treasury shares.
The Renishaw Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) is responsible for purchasing shares on the open market on behalf of the Company
to satisfy the DAEIP awards. These are held by the EBT until transferring to the employee, which will normally be on the third
anniversary of the award date, subject to continued employment. Malus and clawback provisions can be operated by the
Committee within five years of the award date. During the vesting period, no dividends are payable on the shares. However,
upon vesting, employees will be entitled to additional shares or cash, equivalent to the value of dividends paid on the awarded
shares during this period. This amount is accrued over the vesting period.
Own shares held are recognised as an element in equity until they are transferred at the end of the vesting period, and such
shares are excluded from earnings per share calculations.
The total cost recognised in the FY2025 Consolidated income statement in respect of the DAEIP was £0.8m (2024: £0.9m).
See Note 26 for reconciliations of amounts recognised in Equity.
In accordance with the DAEIP, shares equivalent to £0.9m (2024: £0.2m) are to be awarded in respect of FY2025. See the Directors’
Remuneration Report for further details of the DAEIP.

25. Financial instruments
The Group has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk arising from its use of financial instruments.
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to these risks, along with the Group’s objectives, policies
and processes for measuring and managing the risks.
Accounting policy
The Group measures financial instruments such as forward exchange contracts at fair value at each balance sheet date
in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments’. Fair value, as defined by IFRS 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement, is the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. This note provides detail on the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy.
Trade and other current receivables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently held at amortised cost less any
provision for bad and doubtful debts and expected credit losses according to IFRS 9. Trade and other current payables are
initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently held at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities in the form of loans are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently held at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities are assessed for embedded derivatives and whether any such derivatives are closely related. If not closely
related, such derivatives are accounted for at fair value in the Consolidated income statement.
Foreign currency derivatives are used to manage risks arising from changes in foreign currency rates relating to overseas sales
and foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. The Group does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.
Foreign currency derivatives are stated at their fair value, being the estimated amount that the Group would pay or receive to
terminate them at the balance sheet date, based on prevailing foreign currency rates.
Changes in the fair value of foreign currency derivatives which are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are
recognised in Other comprehensive income and in the Cash flow hedging reserve, and subsequently transferred to the carrying
amount of the hedged item or the Consolidated income statement. Realised gains or losses on cash flow hedges are therefore
recognised in the Consolidated income statement within revenue in the same period as the hedged item.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or when the hedging instrument or hedged item
no longer qualify for hedge accounting. If the forecast transaction is still expected to occur, but is no longer highly probable,
the cumulative gain or loss in the cash flow hedge reserve remains in that reserve until the transaction occurs. If the forecast
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss in the cash flow hedge reserve is immediately reclassified
to the Consolidated income statement.
Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivatives, which are ineffective or do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting in
IFRS 9, are recognised in the Consolidated income statement within Gains/losses from the fair value of financial instruments.
In addition to derivatives held for cash flow hedging purposes, the Group uses short-term derivatives not designated as hedging
instruments to offset gains and losses from exchange rate movements on foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities.
Gains and losses from currency movements on underlying assets and liabilities, realised gains and losses on these derivatives,
and fair value gains and losses on outstanding derivatives of this nature are all recognised in Financial income and expenses
in the Consolidated income statement.
Key estimate – Estimates of highly probable forecasts of the hedged item
Derivatives are effective for hedge accounting to the extent that the hedged item is ‘highly probable’ to occur, with ‘highly probable’
indicating a much greater likelihood of occurrence than the term ‘more likely than not. Determining a highly probable sales
forecast for Renishaw plc and Renishaw UK Sales Limited, being the hedged item, over a multiple year time period, requires
judgement of the suitability of external and internal data sources and estimations of future sales.
Fair value
There is no significant difference between the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities and their carrying value in the
Consolidated balance sheet. All financial assets and liabilities are held at amortised cost, apart from the forward foreign currency
exchange contracts, which are held at fair value, with changes going through the Consolidated income statement unless the
contracts are subject to hedge accounting.
The fair values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts have been calculated by a third-party expert, discounting
estimated future cash flows on the basis of market expectations of future exchange rates, representing level 2 in the IFRS 13 fair
value hierarchy. The IFRS 13 level categorisation relates to the extent the fair value can be determined by reference to comparable
market values. The classifications are: level 1 where instruments are quoted on an active market; level 2 where the assumptions
used to arrive at fair value have comparable market data; and level 3 where the assumptions used to arrive at fair value do not have
comparable market data.

Credit risk
The Group’s liquid funds are substantially held with banks with high credit ratings and the credit risk relating to these funds is
therefore limited. The Group carries a credit risk relating to non-payment of trade receivables by its customers. The Group’s policy
is that credit evaluations are carried out on all new customers before credit is given above certain thresholds. Risk is spread across
a large number of customers with no significant concentration with one customer or in any one geographical area. The Group
establishes an allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables where recoverability is considered doubtful.
An analysis by currency of the Group’s financial assets at the year end is as follows:

The Group applies the simplified approach when measuring the expected credit loss for trade receivables, with a provision matrix
used to determine a lifetime expected credit loss.
For this provision matrix, trade receivables are grouped into credit risk categories, with category 1 being the lowest risk and
category 5 the highest. Risk scores are allocated to the customer’s country of operation, their type (such as distributor, end user and
OEM), their industry and the proportion of their debt that was past due at the year-end. These scores are then weighted to produce
an overall risk score for the customer, with the lowest scores being allocated to category 1 and the highest scores to category 5.
The matrix then applies an expected credit loss rate to each category, with this rate being determined by adjusting the Group’s
historical credit loss rates to reflect forward-looking information.

Finance lease receivables are subject to the same approach as noted above for trade receivables.
Derivative assets are assessed based on the credit risk of the banks counterparty to the forward contracts.
Other receivables include mostly prepayments and indirect tax receivables. Prepayment balances are reviewed at each reporting
date to confirm that prepaid goods or services are still expected to be received, while tax balances are reviewed for recoverability.

Liquidity risk
Our approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that we will always have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities
when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. We use monthly cash flow forecasts
on a rolling 12-month basis to monitor cash requirements.
With Cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits at 30 June 2025 totalling £273.6m and £147.9m cash flows generated from
operating activities in the period, the Group remains in a strong liquidity position.
In respect of Cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits, the carrying value is materially the same as fair value because of the
short maturity of the bank deposits. Bank deposits are affected by interest rates that are either fixed or floating, which can change
over time, affecting the Group’s interest income. A decrease of 1% in interest rates would result in a reduction in interest income
of approximately £2.5m.

Market risk
The Group operates in several foreign currencies with the majority of sales being made in these non-Sterling currencies, but with
most manufacturing being undertaken in the UK, Ireland and India.
A large proportion of sales are made in US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen, therefore the Group enters into US Dollar, Euro and
Japanese Yen derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk, including:
i. forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge a significant proportion of the Group’s forecasted US Dollar, Euro and
Japanese Yen revenues over the next 24 months; and
ii. one-month forward foreign currency exchange contracts to offset the gains/losses from exchange rate movements arising from
foreign currency-denominated intragroup balances of the Company held in US Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen and Canadian Dollar.
The amounts of foreign currencies relating to these forward contracts and options are, in Sterling terms:

Hedging
In relation to the forward currency contracts in a designated cash flow hedge, the hedged item is a layer component of forecast
sales transactions. Forecast transactions are deemed highly probable to occur and Group policy is to hedge around 75% of net
foreign currency exposure for USD, EUR and JPY. The hedged item creates an exposure to receive USD, EUR or JPY, while the
forward contract is to sell USD, EUR or JPY and buy GBP. Therefore, there is a strong economic relationship between the
hedging instrument and the hedged item. The hedge ratio is 100%, such that, by way of example, £10m nominal value of forward
currency contracts are used to hedge £10m of forecast sales. Fair value gains or losses on the forward currency contracts are
offset by foreign currency gain or losses on the translation of USD, EUR and JPY based sales revenue, relative to the forward rate
at the date the forward contracts were arranged. Foreign currency exposures in HKD and USD are aggregated and only USD
forward currency contracts are used to hedge these currency exposures. Sources of hedge ineffectiveness according to IFRS 9
Financial Instruments include:
changes in timing of the hedged item;
reduction in the amount of the hedged sales considered to be highly probable;
a change in the credit risk of Renishaw or the bank counterparty to the forward contract; and
differences in assumptions used in calculating fair value.
No contracts have become ineffective during the period. A decrease of 10% in the highly probable forecasts would result in no
ineffective contracts.

The total recognised in Revenue in the Consolidated income statement relating to cash flow hedges previously recognised through
Other comprehensive income amounted to £19.2m gain (2024: £0.1m gain).
For the Group’s foreign currency forward contracts at the balance sheet date, if Sterling appreciated by 5% against the US Dollar,
Euro, Japanese Yen and Canadian Dollar, this would increase pre-tax equity by £19.2m and increase profit before tax by £3.1m,
while a depreciation of 5% would decrease pre-tax equity by £21.3m and decrease profit before tax by £3.4m.

(FY2024: £55,000). There were no bad debts relating to related parties written off during FY2025 or FY2024.
Sold goods and services to the Group during the year include an operating lease arrangement with McMurtry Automotive Limited for
a property owned by the Group. The operating lease commenced on 1 April 2025 and has a 10-year term. The rental income is
£187,500 per annum. The property has been reclassified to investment property in the Consolidated balance sheet, with the rental
income and direct operating expenses recognised in Consolidated income statement. At 30 June 2025, rental income of £46,875
has been recognised, with no amounts owed to the Group.
By virtue of a longstanding voting agreement, the estate of the late Sir David McMurtry (Non-executive Director, 36.23%
shareholding), and John Deer (Non-executive Deputy Chairman, together with his wife, 16.59%), are the ultimate controlling party
of the Group. See page 104 of the Governance Report for further details in relation to this. The only significant transactions between
the Group and these parties are in relation to their respective remuneration, as detailed in the Governance Report.
29. Alternative performance measures
In accordance with Renishaw’s alternative performance measures (APMs) policy and ESMA Guidelines on Alternative
Performance Measures (2015), this section defines non-IFRS measures that we believe give readers additional useful
and comparable views of our underlying performance.
Key judgement – Whether items are appropriate to exclude from adjusted measures
Our APM policy allows us to adjust for ‘infrequently occurring events that can significantly affect profit and earnings’. This year,
we’ve had to carefully consider the nature and intention of some events and transactions, to determine whether they should be
‘adjusted for’.
We continue to report Revenue at constant exchange rates, Adjusted profit before tax, Adjusted earnings per share, Adjusted
operating profit (including by segment), Adjusted operating profit at constant exchange rates, Adjusted cash flow conversion from
operating activities, and Return on invested capital as APMs. These are calculated consistently with previous years. Aside from
Revenue at constant exchange rates, all other APMs exclude infrequently occurring events which impact our financial statements,
recognised according to applicable IFRS, that we believe should be excluded from these APMs to give readers additional useful
and comparable views of our underlying performance.
Revenue at constant exchange rates is defined as revenue recalculated using the same rates as were applicable to the previous
year and excluding forward contract gains and losses.

29. Alternative performance measures continued
a) Restructuring costs, where applicable during the year, are excluded from adjusted measures on the basis that they do not
frequently recur. During FY2025, the Group made the decision to close the drug delivery business, which has resulted in costs
of £2,059,000. The amount comprises redundancy payments of £1,108,000, intangible asset impairment of £864,000 and other
expenses of £87,000. These amounts are recognised within Cost of sales, in Gross engineering expenditure, within the
Consolidated income statement.
b) Restructuring costs, where applicable during the year, are excluded from adjusted measures on the basis that they do not
frequently recur. During FY2025, the Group made the decision to close the Edinburgh research facility, which has resulted in
costs of £2,320,000. The amount comprises redundancy payments of £1,066,000, Property, plant and equipment impairment
of £759,000 and Other payables of £495,000. These amounts are recognised within Cost of sales, in Gross engineering
expenditure, within the Consolidated income statement.
c) There may be other items which do not frequently occur, for which it may be appropriate to exclude from adjusted measures.
During FY2025, the Group recognised an interest charge of £4,852,000 and a Taxation charge of £9,154,000 relating to historical
and non-recurring tax matters. The tax matters relate to specific legacy arrangements which we would not expect to recur.
Applicable accounting standards require a full provision for tax and the associated interest, however, we continue to seek
resolution to these matters which would reduce these amounts. As the historical and non-recurring tax matters do not relate to
current year trading performance, the amounts have been excluded from adjusted measures. The amounts have been recognised
in Financial expenses and Income tax expense within the Consolidated income statement respectively.

Key judgement – When termination benefits should be recognised
Determining when termination benefits should be recognised requires judgement as there are different recognition points.
A cost reduction programme was initiated in June 2025, see page 72, which aims to achieve annualised labour cost savings of
£20m through a voluntary and compulsory redundancy programme. The cost of the voluntary redundancy programme will be
recognised in FY2026 as the employee has the right to withdraw from the voluntary redundancy programme until the ‘notice of
redundancy’ was signed by the employee. The compulsory redundancy will be recognised in FY2026 as there was no constructive
obligation at the balance sheet date, as all communication took place after the balance sheet date. The total estimated cost of the
voluntary and compulsory redundancy programme is estimated to be £16.0m.

Right-of-use assets
At the commencement date of a lease arrangement the Company recognises a right-of-use asset for the leased item and a lease

Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of a lease arrangement the Company recognises a right-of-use asset for the leased item and a lease
liability for any payments due. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid
atthecommencementdate,discountedusingtheincrementalborrowingrate.Theleaseliabilityissubsequentlymeasuredat

LoanstoGroupundertakingsareinitiallyrecognisedatfairvalueandaresubsequentlyheldatamortisedcostusingtheeffective
interest rate method. Where such intercompany loans are repayable on demand the Company determines whether any impairment
provision is required by assessing the company’s ability to repay the loan. Where it is determined that a recipient company does
nothavethecapacitytorepaytheloanatthebalancesheetdate,ortheloanisnotrepayableondemand,anexpectedcreditloss

Trade and other current receivables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently held at amortised cost less any
provision for bad and doubtful debts. Trade and other current payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently
held at amortised cost.
