GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025
The Directors' are pleased to report that the Group has continued its growth and market presence within the commercial office real estate sector. This has been achieved through our services in design and build, under turnkey or traditional methods, focusing heavily on the landlord and asset owning client base whom align more centrally with our values on fairness, sustainability, diversity and a quality construction product.
We have continued to secure repeat business through effective key account management and high-quality genuine customer service which has contributed to the business ongoing success and sound platform for the future. The following key financials can be reported: Group Turnover: £42,585,990 (2024 - £32,477,273) Gross Profit: £7,578,203 (2024 - £5,331,743) Group Profit before Tax: £3,096,295 (2024 - £1,145,042) The growth in turnover is attributable to an increase in the average size of projects, an increase in the quantity of projects and an increase in furniture orders. The business continues to invest in the future pipeline of work through the hiring of key senior leaders to help support our ongoing growth aspirations for the Cast Group; we are confident the fruits of this investment will be borne in the next financial year and account for the slight drop in our net profit position. The director's are confident that the Group's exceptional reputation within the industry continues to allow them to attract the best talent in the market including our well-publicised culture, carbon neutral approach and innovative thinking in what remains a competitive market for people.
The market has enjoyed a more stable period from an inflationary perspective and by maintaining quality and breadth in our client base and supply chain, the directors endeavour to mitigate any market fluctuations. The nature of main contracting fit out, because of its speed, typically supports this but additionally we have diversified the wider group offering into broader project types with light refurbishment, laboratories, special projects and cross sector furniture provisions across the whole group.
The directors continue to remain aware of EU challenges associated with supply and demand and to mitigate this they chose local procurement, where possible. Staff retention in a competitive market is alleviated through the team recognising the opportunities that exist within the group and our growth potential. The Directors have also implemented incentives and benefits that are holistically supportive of the staff through welbeing, health, development opportunities, remuneration and tangible support to create a place of work that encapsulates exactly what we represent.
The Group continues to use a range of well-established and appropriate key performance indicators (KPI's) to monitor the progress of the business. The KPI's for the Group are turnover, gross profit and profit before tax as highlighted above.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025
Accreditation fostering culture
The business maintains a raft of accreditations that demonstrate quality procedures, environmental standards and safety across ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001. With Construction Gold and Safe Contractor SSIP, we emanate a culture of safety and excellence in delivery which we are now known for. There is no compromise for us in ensuring these are the quantitative minimum standards we are held account to. We channel this into our culture which yields greater business returns through continued long term customer retention and a team that have faith in the way in which we deliver out projects from a cradle to grave perspective. The business has submitted their B Corp application; which is targeted to be in place prior to the next financial year and will be seen as the final compliment of accreditations appropriate to being a tier one provider in the commerical real estate sector. ESG Strategy At Cast Group, we believe that shaping a sustainable built environment begins with how we operate - responsibly, transparently, and collaboratively. Since launching our formal ESG strategy in 2022, we have steadily progressed in both ambition and action. Each year, we’ve enhanced our activity-based carbon accounting and deepened our understanding of the environmental impact across our operations, supply chain, and project delivery. In 2025 Cast Group completed a consolidated, third-party verified carbon footprint assessment across all business entities using Greenly’s GHG Protocol-aligned methodology. This assessment covered 66 emissions sources across Scope 1, 2 and 3, incorporating data from all areas of the Group - spanning construction materials, on-site impacts, travel, furniture, waste, IT assets as well as our office and warehouse operations. The findings confirmed that while our Scope 1 and 2 emissions are relatively low at 35 tCO2e and 11 tCO2e respectively, our Scope 3 emissions totalled 12,000 tCO2e. Cast Group has offset our Scope 1 and 2 emissions for the year entirely through verified sources. Our Scope 3 for our first year with Greenly include expense-based proxy calculations, such as emissions per £ spent. These are intentionally conservative and serve to highlight areas of material impact. For our next carbon accounting year, we are already actively improving our data collection through better accounting reporting and expanding our EPD database within the Greenly platform. These improvements will enhance the accuracy of our reporting year on year, reduce reliance on proxy figures, and better reflect the impact of our operations, materials, and supply chains. Emissions Summary (Cast Group Consolidated) Scope 1 - Direct fuel use and fugitive emissions: 35 tCO2e Scope 2 - Purchased electricity: 11tCO2e Scope 3 - Upstream procurement, transport, commuting, assets: 12,000 tCO2e Total - All scopes combined: 12,046 t CO2e Key Scope 3 contributors:
∙Product purchases: 8,100 tCO2e
∙Service purchases: 3,200 tCO2e
∙Travel and commuting: 230 tCO2e
∙Food & drink, digital, waste, and IT assets: <500 tCO2e

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025
With over 95% of emissions derived from procurement activities, our strategy has shifted towards engaging our suppliers on climate performance. We continue to develop our supplier-specific emissions tracking, carbon impact criteria, and training aligned with global decarbonisation pathways we have set. The results from our carbon footprint assessment have informed our carbon reduction targets:
∙Achieveing Net Zero Carbon Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2025, with an interim goal of 50% reduction by 2030 latest.
∙Reduce Scope 3 emissions by 50% by 2035.
∙Achieve Net Zero Carbin emissions by 2040.
In the 2025 financial year, Cast Group offset a total of approximately 2,770 tCO2e in nature-based carbon avoidance projects. These projects include reforestation, forest protection, and habitat restoration, supporting both carbon avoidance and broader ecosystem benefits. In parallel, we continue to prepare for SBTi validation and B Corp certification in the coming year, all while embedding social and environmental accountability into all facets of our business - from waste reduction and material reuse to employee engagement and inclusive design.
Diversity As a diverse construction business, we are proud of the fact we are majority female owned and are subsequently accredited as such by WeConnect and have maintained, since inception, a team with over 35% female. The directors consider this to be a key success metric that will move forward with the business. Our workforce is currently 38% female across the business against an industry average of just 14% Innovation, Research & Development Through the expansion of our Operational Innovation team, we continue to push the limits on the ways in which we report to our customer base across sustainability and social value. We are proud of our strategic partnerships with Unseen (Modern Slavery), Greenly (Carbon Accounting) and Thrive (Social Value measuring), recognising that this is what sets us apart from our competitors by investing in platforms and support that do not enhance profit but enhance the core values of the business. This in turn improves team morale, quality and returning client base that do directly impact the current and future success of the organisation.
This report was approved by the board on 17 September 2025 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CAST GROUP SERVICES LTD
We have audited the financial statements of Cast Group Services Ltd (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 28 February 2025, which comprise the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, 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 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 or 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CAST GROUP SERVICES LTD (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Directors' report.

CAST GROUP SERVICES LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CAST GROUP SERVICES LTD (CONTINUED)
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 an Auditors' report 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 Group financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
∙the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant sector, including Companies Act 2006;
∙we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙laws and regulations identified were communicated with the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
∙making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
∙considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
∙reviewed the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations; and
∙performed analytical procedures and tested journal entries to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships or transactions.
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 Auditors' report.
