STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

INTRODUCTION
 
The directors present their Strategic Report for Triumph International Limited (the "Company") for the year ended 31 December 2024.

BUSINESS REVIEW
 
During 2024 we launched our new London showroom presenting both Triumph and Sloggi brands to prospective business with our beautiful collections and brands on display. We also welcomed additional colleagues in Sales supporting growth and collaboration with our wholesale partners.
In 2024, we continued to bring innovation to the market within brand Triumph with the introduction of our new and aptly named ‘Comfort Wire’. This flexible, light wire contours to the body giving a more comfortable feel with freedom of movement versus the regular traditionally used wire. This innovation launched within the ‘Body Make Up Illusion Lace’ collection in AW24 and, elevated with strong coverage in print and press, the collection saw great success in UK and Ireland and across Europe.
Our ‘Smart’ range of lingerie received significant marketing investment in the first half of 2024. We introduced new colours within our ‘Lift Smart’ and ‘Flex Smart’ series, which uses revolutionary 4D technology to adapt to the wearer’s body, offering a bespoke fit and uncompromising support to our customers.
Triumph continued to develop our ‘Style Lab’ range which offers bras starting from a lower price entry point in view of the increased cost of living affecting consumers. This collection launched in the first half and continued to grow with ranges such as Delightful Spotlight, Bright Spotlight and colour additions in Harmony Spotlight.
Sloggi saw development of the intimate apparel assortment with new launches amongst the bodywear range. In March 2024, our Zero Feel collection had a subtle design update with further improvements to fit and applying more sustainable fabrics which are now GRS certified.

STRATEGY
 
2024 saw the launch of the new global Triumph sustainable strategy “Fit the Future” which focuses on five key areas. The increase in circularity through re-use of materials and minimising waste, the tackling of waste through robust measures reducing waste across the supply chain, lowering the environmental impact through lowering carbon footprint, upholding decent working conditions through fair labour practices and safe working environments and engagement with communities through support of local initiatives and social causes.
In 2024, we launched the sustainable and GRS certified product updates across the key series Amourette and Zero Feel, both of which have significant distribution across our market. We are committed to achieve our goal that by the end of 2025 over 60% of seasonal launches will consist of materials with lower environmental impact. Similarly, we continue a development plan for our longstanding best-sellers to update their materials and production to be more sustainable. Our purpose remains that through collective empowerment Triumph strives to make a difference, together. For the company, our employees, consumers and for the environment.
2024 saw a good start of the year with significant growth versus prior year. During the second half year we experienced an impact of stock availability issues due to supply chain challenges which consequently impacted growth during the second half of the year leading to a year-on-year decrease in revenue by 5%. 

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
As announced by the Government in the autumn budget, the increases in national insurance and minimum wage increases from April onwards will impact resource costs in 2025. 
It is anticipated that inflation and volatility will continue through next year. Besides the global geographical and political effects on our economy, we see evidence that cyber risks affecting businesses are on the rise. At regular intervals throughout the year Triumph staff globally conduct IT training in order to mitigate such risks.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
 
ole0d65.png

Profit before tax increased year on year due to a reduction in other finance expense in relation to service fees relating to actuarial services in relation to the pension scheme which was partially offset by a slight increase in interest payable across the year.
The increase of three days in the average debtors days was impacted by a customer EDI challenge which has since been resolved.
 
At year end the cash position was lower as a result of the 2024 revenue performance.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The principal activities of the Company comprise the distribution and wholesale of women's and men's underwear and leisurewear in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

GOING CONCERN

The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future as a result of the continued support of its parent undertaking. For this reason, they have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these Financial Statements.

RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS

The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £17 thousand (2023: loss of £29 thousand).

The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend (2023: £Nil).

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Following the 2023 year end, a final settlement was received by the Pension Trustees following the bulk annuity agreement with Legal and General which went on risk on 30 September 2021. After market adjustments, the total premium true down on the original premium of £49.4m was £1.2m.

A temporary loan of £200k was granted in July 2023 by the Company to the Pension Scheme to provide temporary liquidity regarding illiquid assets. This was repaid in full to Triumph International Limited in April 2024.

Cash flow risk

The Company's exposure to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates is limited as its primary market is in the United Kingdom and costs of goods sold are nominated in pound sterling. There is no requirement to hold interest bearing assets and liabilities at fixed rates to ensure certainty of cash flows.

Credit risk

The Company's principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other debtors.

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debtors which are present in the Balance Sheet net of allowances for doubtful debts. The Company continues to have a credit insurance agreement in place covering its trade credit exposure.

The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk with exposure spread over a large number of customers. The credit risk on bank balances is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by appropriate credit rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the Company uses a mixture of financing, medium-term financing from its parent company and participates in a pan European factoring arrangement providing the entity with a cost effective way of financing.

Any temporary pension funding requirement relating to the pension buy in process due to the liquidity of the pension assets will be supported by Triumph Group.

Price risk

The price risk of goods for resale of the Company is subject to fluctuations due to the impact of price inflation on raw materials, energy and transportation costs and political and economic volatility due to the conflict in Europe.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The future developments of the Company are discussed in the Strategic Report on page 1.

COMPANY'S POLICY FOR PAYMENT OF CREDITORS

The company has adopted standard creditor payment terms in line with group's standard payment terms. The Company's policy is to agree the payment terms with suppliers, ensuring that suppliers are made aware of terms of payment and abide by the terms of payment. The average creditor days are 127 days (2023: 117 days). 

QUALIFYING THIRD PARTY INDEMNITY PROVISIONS

The Parent Company has made qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of its directors which were made during the year and remain in force at the date of this report.



TRIUMPH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
 
 
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
MATTERS COVERED IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT

The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 requires a Strategic report to be prepared. Where mandatory disclosures in the Directors' report are considered by the directors to be of strategic importance, these have been included in the Strategic report rather than the Directors' report.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' report is approved has confirmed that:
 
so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware, and

the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.

POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

On 29 May 2025, the company gave notice to the Triumph International Pension Scheme, that it terminates its liability to pay contributions to the scheme with effect from 1 June 2025, and has requested that the Trustees commence wind-up of the scheme with effect on and from 1 June 2025.

AUDITORS

Under Section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006, Bishop Fleming Audit Ltd will be deemed to have been reappointed as auditors 28 days after these financial statements were sent to members or 28 days after the latest date prescribed for filing the financial statements with the registrar, whichever is earlier. Bishop Fleming Audit Limited will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

TRIUMPH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TRIUMPH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
OPINION


We have audited the financial statements of Triumph International Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of cash flows, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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 Company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its 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 Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 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 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 ReportOur 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TRIUMPH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (CONTINUED)

OPINION 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 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 Strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report or the Directors' report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the 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 Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page , 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 is 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 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 Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.




TRIUMPH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TRIUMPH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (CONTINUED)

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 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 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:

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities

We have considered the nature of the sector, control environment, and financial performance of the entity; 
We have considered the results of enquiries with management and Directors in relation to their own identification and assessment of the risk of irregularities within the entity;
For any matters identified we have obtained and reviewed the Company's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
°Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
°Detecting and responding to the risk of fraud and whether they have knowledge of actual, suspected, or alleged fraud; and
°The internal controls established to mitigate the risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
We have reviewed the documentation of key processes and controls and performed walkthroughs of transactions to confirm that the systems are operating in line with documentation.

As a result of these procedures, we have considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the highest area of risk to be in relation to revenue recognition, with a particular risk in relation to year end cut off. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK) we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. 
We have also obtained understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act and FRS 102 and UK tax legislation. 
In addition, we considered the provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company’s ability to operate or avoid a material penalty.
 
Audit response to risks indentified

We identified recognition of revenue as a key audit matter related to the potential risk of fraud, our procedures to
respond to risk identified included the following:
 
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
Performing analytical procedures to identify unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; 
Reviewing board meeting minutes;
Enquiring of management in relation to actual and potential claims or litigations;


TRIUMPH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TRIUMPH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Performing detailed transactional testing in relation to the recognition of revenue, with a particular focus around year end cut off; and
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgments made in accounting estimates are indicative of potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
 
We also communicated identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all members of the engagement team and remained alert to possible indicators of fraud or non compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.


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.


USE OF OUR REPORT
 

This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.


GENERAL INFORMATION

Triumph International Limited (the "Company") is involved in the distribution and retailing of women's and men's underwear and leisurewear in the United Kingdom and in the Republic of Ireland.

The Company is a private company limited by shares and is incorporated in the United Kingdom and domiciled in England. The address of its registered office is Arkwright Road, Groundwell, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN25 5BE.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
2.1

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 Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

GOING CONCERN

The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future as a result of the continued support of its parent undertaking. For this reason, they have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these Financial Statements. 

 
2.3

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 except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.4

REVENUE

The company operated on both a credit sales and consignment model and revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The company operated on both a credit sales and consignment model and revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

The company operated on both a credit sales and consignment model and revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer through the retailer;
the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

 
2.5

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.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.6

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.7

FINANCE COSTS

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

2.8

PENSIONS

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 Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN

The Company operates a defined benefit plan for certain employees. A defined benefit plan defines the pension benefit that the employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent upon several factors including but not limited to age, length of service and remuneration. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan.

The asset recognised in the Statement of financial position in respect of the defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting date less the fair value of plan assets at the reporting date (if any) out of which the obligations are to be settled.

The defined benefit obligation is calculated using the projected unit credit method. Annually the company engages independent actuaries to calculate the obligation. The present value is determined by discounting the estimated future payments using market yields on high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in sterling and that have terms approximating to the estimated period of the future payments ('discount rate').

The fair value of plan assets is measured in accordance with the FRS102 fair value hierarchy and in accordance with the Company's policy for similarly held assets. This includes the use of appropriate valuation techniques.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. These amounts together with the return on plan assets, less amounts included in net interest, are disclosed as 'Remeasurement of net defined benefit liability'.

The cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in profit or loss as employee costs, except where included in the cost of an asset, comprises:

a) the increase in net pension benefit liability arising from employee service during the period; and

b) the cost of plan introductions, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is recognised in profit or loss as a 'finance expense'.

The defined benefit pension scheme is now closed to new members.

2.9

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 reporting 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 reporting 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.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.


 
2.10

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

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.

The Company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

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
-
3 to 10 years (10% - 33% per annum)
Fixtures and fittings
-
3 to 10 years (10% - 33% per annum)

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.

2.11

STOCKS

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a weighted average basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 
2.12

DEBTORS

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.13

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management.

 
2.14

CREDITORS

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.15

PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
 
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

 
2.16

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is

measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Basic financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:

(i) Impairment of debtors

The Company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. See note 13 for the net carrying amount of the debtors and associated impairment provision.

(ii) Defined benefit pension scheme

The company has an obligation to pay pension benefits to certain employees. The cost of these benefits and the present value of the obligation depend on a number of factors, including; life expectancy, salary increases, asset valuations and the discount rate on corporate bonds. Management estimates these factors in determing the net pension obligation in the Balance Sheet. The assumptions reflect historical experience and current trends. In 2021 the pension trustees decided to enter into an agreement with Legal and General to insure the future pension liabilities. This change in the investment strategy has treated the value of the buy in asset being calculated equal to the corresponding FRS 102 value of the insured liabilities and any difference between this and the buy-in premium flowing through other comprehensive income as an asset loss. See note 21 for the disclosures relating to the defined benefit pension scheme.

(iii) Recoverability of deferred tax

The company has recognised a deferrred tax asset in its financial statements relating to tax losses carried forward which requires judgement for determining the extent of its recoverability at each Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. The Company assesses recoverability with reference to forecasts of future taxable profits. These forecasts require the use of assumptions and estimates.

PENSION COMMITMENTS

 Defined contribution pension scheme
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The pension cost charge for the year represents contributions payable by the Company to the scheme and amounted to £114k (2023: £146k). The Defined Contribution Section closed with effect from 1 April 2007 and no further contributions were payable thereafter.

Defined benefit pension scheme
The Company operates a Defined Benefit Pension Scheme.
Triumph International Limited (the "Company") operates a funded pension scheme in the UK (the "Scheme"). The Scheme has both defined benefit and defined contribution sections, both of which are closed to future accrual.
In the Defined Benefit Section, pension benefits are related to each member's final pensionable salary and their length of service.
The Company's best estimate of expected contributions to the Scheme in the year commencing 1 January 2025 is £Nil.
The remainder of this FRS102 pensions note relates only to the Defined Benefit Section of the Scheme.
The assumptions used by the actuary are best estimates chosen from a range of possible actuarial assumptions which, due to the timescales covered, may not necessarily be borne out in practice.
The fair value of the Scheme's assets, which are not intended to be realised in the short term and may be subject to significant change before they are realised, and the present value of the Scheme's liabilities, which are derived from cash flow projections over long periods and thus inherently uncertain, were:
