NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1.Accounting policies
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
At the year end the Company is in a net asset position supported by both an intercompany receivable and healthy cash balance. Strava Limited has received written confirmation from its parent company, Strava, Inc., that it will continue to provide financial support for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The director has reviewed the position and performance of the parent company, together with the cash flow forecasts and expected performance over a period of two years. For this reason the director continues to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Rendering of services
Turnover is recognised on a cost plus 9% basis, in line with the intercompany service agreement with the parent company. Intercompany turnover is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the intercompany service agreement;
∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

|
Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.
Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each balance sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.
The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme).
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.
|
|
Operating leases: the Company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
|
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1.Accounting policies (continued)
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
|
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1.Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|
|
|
|
Short-term leasehold property
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Amounts owed by group undertakings are intercompany loans measured at cost. These loans are unsecured, interest free and repayable on demand.
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions.
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and recorded amount of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form a basis for making judgements about the carrying value of assets and iabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets are addressed below.
Deferred tax asset
The Company has tax losses to carry forward, for which they have recognised a deferred tax asset which they expect to utilise against taxable profits in the coming three years. This is a significant judgement from management based on their expectation of future taxable profits. This judgement contains estimation uncertainty, which used current year profits as a benchmark for expected future profitability based on the Company's cost plus model. Estimations in relation to expected future taxable profits and the reliefs which will be available may have a material impact on these financial statements. The judgement to only provide for three years is a prudent judgement based on management's ability to accurately forecast.
Share based payments
Management have exercised judgement in assessing the treatment and disclosure of RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) and their vesting conditions. Management have determined that the associated non-market conditions are unlikely to be satisfied in a timeframe that would result in ultimate vesting of the current RSUs. As such, no expense has been recognised in this regard.
The auditors' report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 was unqualified.
The audit report was signed on 21 March 2025 by Edward Wallis ACA (Senior Statutory Auditor) on behalf of ZEDRA Corporate Reporting Services (UK) Limited.
|
The average monthly number of employees during the year was 23 (2023 - 20).

In addition to the above deferred tax asset, there were unprovided losses totalling £397,612 (2023: £710,626) for the year. It was management's judgement that the utilisation of these losses was uncertain and therefore not provided for.

|
Capital contribution reserve
|
Certain employees of the Company along with other group employees have been granted options and Restricted Stock Units (''RSUs'') over the shares in Strava, Inc., the Company's parent. The options are granted at an independently determined fair values and 25% of the options are exerciseable one year after the grant date, vesting continues monthly thereafter. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the value of the stock options on the date of grant.
Where RSUs are awared to employees, the fair value of the RSUs at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest as each Balance Sheet date. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the RSUs granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a certain market conditions.
An expense equivalent to the fair value of the share options granted is recognised evenly over the vesting period with a corresponding amount being recognised in the capital contribution reserve.
