STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Business review
 
Fortune Brands Global Plumbing Group I UK Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries principal activity continues to be that of a manufacture of and distribution of baths, other sanitary and household ware and other related products. The Company’s principal activity is of a holding company.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
Being a holding company, there are minimal risks and uncertainties faced by the Company.

During the year the Company suffered an impairment loss in respect of its investment in a trading subsidiary. This is due to economic conditions in the United Kingdom, combined with increasing interest rates negatively impacting the valuation. Management have been prudent in their determined valuation given the uncertainties and timing delays in the group reorganisation of this trading subsidiaries activities. Management do not believe this is a risk to the Company or its relating subsidiary as we believe once the group reorganisation are finalised - the trade activity of this subsidiary will return to profitability.

Liquidity risk

In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the Group uses intra-group financing where required.

Financial key performance indicators
 
Being a non-trading company holding investments in subsidiaries, the directors consider that there are no key performance indicators for the Company as an individual entity but instead consider it as part of their analysis of operating companies in the wider Group.

Directors' statement of compliance with Section 172(1)
 
S172(1) of the Companies Act sets out the duties of each director of a company to act in the way he considers, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of shareholders as a whole and in doing so, have regard to a number of broader matters which are set out below:
 a) the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
 b) the interest of the Company's employees;
 c) the need to foster the Company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;
 d) the impact of the Company's operations on the community and the environment;
 e) the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
 f) the need to act fairly between members of the Company.
Given the non-trading nature of the Company, being a holding Company only, the directors' of Fortune Brands Global Plumbing Group I UK Co. Limited consider that their responsibilities in respect of s172 are appropriately complied with.


This report was approved by the board on 3 October 2025 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FORTUNE BRANDS GLOBAL PLUMBING GROUP I UK CO. LIMITED
 

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Fortune Brands Global Plumbing Group I UK Co. Limited (the Company’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Change in Equity and 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 UK-adopted international accounting standards, including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), as regards the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.

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 results 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 Auditor’s 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 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 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.

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.

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 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FORTUNE BRANDS GLOBAL PLUMBING GROUP I UK CO. LIMITED
 

Responsibilities of Directors

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 2, 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 either the directors intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's 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 auditor’s 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 the financial statements. 
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
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.
Based on our understanding of the Company and its industry, we considered that non-compliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements: employment regulation, health and safety regulation and anti-money laundering regulation.
To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to:
 Inquiring of management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, as to whether the    company is in compliance with laws and regulations, and discussing their policies and procedures     regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
 Inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory authorities;
 Communicating identified laws and regulations to the engagement team and remaining alert to any     indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
 Considering the risk of acts by the Company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations,    including fraud.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FORTUNE BRANDS GLOBAL PLUMBING GROUP I UK CO. LIMITED
 

We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as tax legislation, pension legislation, the Companies Act 2006.
In addition, we evaluated the directors’ and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of controls, and determined that the principal risks related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates and significant oneoff or unusual transactions.
 
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:

making enquiries of the directors and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.

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 auditor’s report.
 
Use of the audit 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 2006. Our 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 auditor's 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.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
