GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The directors remain satisfied with the Group wide performance, despite difficult trading conditions for energy intensive industries.

Turnover levels for the Group have decreased in 2023 due to the following factors:

a) A fire at the UK factory led to unscheduled press downtime, negatively impacting production and turnover.
Insurance proceeds related to this incident have been recognised under Exceptional Items.
b) The strengthening of the pound against other trading currencies during the year compared to 2022 has further
reduced reported turnover from certain markets.
c) The US subsidiary experienced a reduction in turnover due to the temporary shutdown of one press line for
upgrades, which is expected to enhance capacity and efficiency in the long term.

Despite these challenges, the Group has taken proactive steps to mitigate the impact, including leveraging insurance recoveries and focusing on operational improvements. Gross profit increased to £30.3 million (2022: £28.4 million), reflecting improvements in efficiency despite turnover decreasing to £182.1 million (2022: £186.8 million). EBITDA also showed resilience, increasing to £18.3 million (2022: £17.9 million).

In August 2023, the Group completed the acquisition of several entities in France and Belgium: Flandrialys BV, Flandria Aluminium, Aimé Claeys, Flandria Participations, Alutrade, and Aluminium Systèmes. These acquisitions significantly expand the Group’s presence in key European markets and align with our strategic objectives. The integration of these businesses is expected to create operational synergies and provide opportunities for further growth.

Additionally, the directors made the strategic decision to close the Moroccan subsidiary, Alu-Stock SARL, in February 2023. This closure was due to the business not meeting performance expectations. The formal liquidation process is ongoing.

Across the Group, the pressures on margins eased as energy costs began to decrease, however other inflationary pressures remained. Ongoing investments in plant infrastructure and the strategic expansion of the customer base have positioned the Group for recovery and sustained growth.

KAYE ALUMINIUM (HOLDINGS) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05126436)

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

One of our key non-financial performance indicators worth highlighting is the utilisation rates of our plant facilities. While it's true that these rates decreased in 2023, due to unscheduled press downtime, this was a direct result of the UK factory fire and the press upgrade in the US. These measures, though disruptive in the short term, are expected to enhance production capacity. By increasing our production capacity, we have positioned ourselves to better meet our customers' needs and respond swiftly when the global market for aluminium profiles experiences an upturn. This proactive approach ensures that we can efficiently scale our production without overburdening our equipment during market fluctuations, optimising our ability to capture growth opportunities and adapt to changing market dynamics. Our focus on capacity expansion is a testament to our commitment to long-term sustainability and customer satisfaction.

Failure and scrappage rates
The Group continues to see improvements in reducing failure and scrappage rates, driven by investments in state-of-the-art infrastructure. This progress reflects the Group’s commitment to operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Sales and Profit Growth Risk: Our group operates in a fiercely competitive marketplace, and we acknowledge that we are not immune to the impacts of global economic fluctuations and adverse exchange rate movements. The ongoing challenges in market conditions pose a potential risk to the realisation of our Group's overarching business plan and future success strategies. In the event of a further deterioration in market conditions, there is an inherent risk to the achievement of our strategic objectives and continued growth trajectory.

Cost of Materials Price Fluctuations Risk: We recognise that our Group is exposed to the inherent volatility of global market forces affecting the prices of the raw materials we procure. At present, we face the challenge of relatively high raw material costs. This susceptibility to price fluctuations necessitates careful monitoring and management to mitigate potential adverse impacts on our profitability. Our proactive approach to cost control and strategic sourcing is pivotal in mitigating this risk.

Credit Risk: There exists the potential for credit risk, wherein one party may cause financial losses to another party when fulfilling their obligations. Our Group has implemented stringent policies designed to minimise such losses. We extend credit terms to customers only after a thorough evaluation of their payment history and creditworthiness procedures. Details regarding our group's debtors can be found in note 16 of the financial statements, offering transparency and accountability in our credit risk management efforts.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

LIQUIDITY/ CASHFLOW
Our Directors and Senior Management team diligently monitor the group's cash flow on a regular basis, ensuring that we maintain a robust liquidity position. As of the most recent assessment, our group holds substantial cash reserves, £23.6 million, which serve as a financial cushion to mitigate any unforeseen liquidity challenges.

These reserves enable us to meet our short-term obligations promptly, provide for working capital needs, and capitalise on strategic opportunities as they arise. In addition to closely monitoring our cash position, we continue to assess and refine our liquidity risk management strategies to align with the evolving financial landscape.

Our proactive approach to liquidity risk management ensures that we are well-prepared to navigate potential financial uncertainties, safeguarding the stability and continuity of our business operations. As part of our commitment to sound financial stewardship, we remain vigilant in monitoring, assessing, and adapting our liquidity management practices to uphold the financial health and resilience of the Group..

EMPLOYEES
The group continues to seek to recruit good quality staff and to adopt progressive policies of internal and external training so as to maximise their performance.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The Board anticipates building upon the impressive historical growth and profitability achieved by the Group. We remain dedicated to seeking new investment opportunities that will further enhance the strength and resilience of our business.

The Group has successfully expanded into the French and Belgian markets through the acquisition of the Flandrialys BV Group of companies in August 2023. We are focused on upgrading the infrastructure of these newly acquired businesses to align them with the Group’s operational standards and to maximise synergies.

Additionally, the Group has acquired a new premises in the UK to relocate Exlabesa Building Systems. This relocation will provide greater capacity for the expansion of the UK extrusion business, enabling the Group to better meet growing customer demand and enhance its market position.

UKRAINE CONFLICT
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has had a significant impact on our Group, particularly with regard to global inflation and the escalation of energy costs. As an energy-intensive manufacturing operation, our business heavily relies on a stable and affordable energy supply. The disruption in energy markets due to geopolitical tensions has led to a notable increase in energy costs, directly affecting our production costs. Additionally, the ripple effect of this conflict has contributed to global inflationary pressures, further challenging our ability to maintain competitive pricing and overall profitability.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the financial statements;

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





Mr Fernando Quinta Marino - Director


4 February 2025

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
KAYE ALUMINIUM (HOLDINGS) LIMITED


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Kaye Aluminium (Holdings) Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the Parent Company affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of the Group's profit for the year then ended;
-have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
KAYE ALUMINIUM (HOLDINGS) LIMITED


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page eight, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
KAYE ALUMINIUM (HOLDINGS) LIMITED


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the Company and Group, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to corporation tax legislation and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements.

As part of this assessment we considered both quantitative and qualitative factors. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102.

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements which included the risk of management override of controls. We determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries, omitting, advancing or delaying recognition of events and transactions that have occurred during or after the reporting period, and potential management bias in the determination of accounting estimates or judgements to manipulate results.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team include:

- Enquiring of and obtaining written representation from management in relation to known or suspected instances
of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
- Enquiring of entity staff in tax and compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws
and regulations;
- Evaluation of management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
- Review of board meeting minutes and meetings of those charged with governance;
- Identifying and, where relevant, testing journal entries posted by senior management or with unusual
combinations;
- Assessing and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of
business;
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with
applicable laws and regulations;
- Review of correspondence with regulators in so far as they are related to the financial statements;
- Incorporating elements of unpredictability into the nature, timing and/or extent of audit procedures performed.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentation, or through collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Kaye Aluminium (Holdings) Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate. The Company and Group has considerable financial resources, as a consequence the directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage it business risks successfully.

Basis of consolidation
The Financial Statements consolidate the results of Kaye Aluminium (Holdings) Limited and all its subsidiary undertakings. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the group has control. The group controls an when the group is exposed to, or has the rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group.

The consolidation stops from the date that control ceases.

The consolidation is based on uniform accounting policies across all group companies in all material respects, and elimination of intra-group transactions.

Any goodwill arising on consolidation is written off against on a straight line basis over the useful economic life of the asset, which is 10 years. A provision is made for any impairment.

All group undertakings included in the consolidated financial statements have 31 December accounting period ends, with the exception of Flandrialys BV which has an accounting period end of 30 June. Management have drawn up interim accounts to 31 December for Flandrialys BV which have been included in the consolidation

Entities acquired during the year are consolidated using the acquisition method.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Significant judgements and estimates
The Group prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with FRS102, the application of which often requires judgements to be made by management when formulating the group's financial position and results. The directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the review and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions.

Investment impairment - In the Company’s individual accounts, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less provision for permanent diminution in value.

The carrying value of investments are reviewed annually for impairment. Impairment losses provided for any diminution in value are recognised in the Income Statement.

Any investment impairment is dependent upon assumptions which could change in the next financial year and could have a material effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the Balance Sheet date.

Depreciation of fixed assets - The directors assess depreciation rates based on their collective experience and the manufacturer specifications of the assets. The directors take into consideration the historical performance of similar assets, both within the company and industry standards. Historical data is used to determine the expected patterns of asset usage and wear and tear.

It is important to note that estimating the useful economic life of assets inherently involves a degree of uncertainty due to the variables mentioned above. While every effort is made to make informed and reasonable estimates, future events and circumstances may differ from these estimates.

Valuation of closing stocks - The valuation of closing finished goods stocks is a critical accounting estimate as it directly impacts the Company's/Group's reported assets, cost of goods sold, and ultimately, its profitability. The directors assess the valuation of closing finished goods stocks based on their standard cost price. This estimate is performed annually and incorporates the following key components material price, labour costs and overheads.

It is important to note that the valuation of closing finished goods stocks involves a degree of uncertainty. Fluctuations in input costs, production efficiency, and other factors may lead to deviations from the standard cost estimates.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the period:

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts, rebates and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer (usually on dispatch of the goods), the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Where payments are received from customers in advance of goods provided, the amounts are recorded as deferred income and included as part of creditors due within one year.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Patents and licences are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of ten years.

Amortisation of intangible fixed assets is charged to administration expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.

Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than investment properties and freehold land, at
rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Freehold buildings 50 years straight line.
Plant and machinery between 15% and 25% reducing balance basis.
Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance basis.
Motor vehicles 25% straight line basis.

Residual value represents the estimated amount which would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset, after deducting estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.

Stocks
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition.

Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the relevant instrument. All of the Group's financial instruments are cash or basic debt instruments, comprising trade receivables and payables, other receivables and payables and a related party loan. Such financial instruments are measured initially at the transaction price and subsequently at amortised cost. Financial instruments are considered for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting period and any impairment is recognised in profit or loss.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Foreign currencies
(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the group's entities are measured using the currency th of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling ("£" or "Sterling"), which is the group's presentation currency and rounded to the nearest £1.

(b) Transactions and balances

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result
