GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
The directors present their Annual Report, which consists of the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report, and the financial statements of The Gina Group Plc ("the company") and its subsidiary undertakings (collectively "the group" or "GINA") for the year ended 31 May 2024.
The principal activity of the company is the management of the Gina brand and acting as a holding company to Gina Shoes Limited and three other non-trading subsidiaries.
The principal activity of the group is that of the design, manufacture and retail of women's designer footwear and accessories.
GINA continues to affirm its position as a distinguished British luxury footwear house, celebrated for exceptional craftsmanship, innovative design, and a heritage spanning more than 70 years. The brand remains fully aligned with the global fashion landscape, maintaining a strong presence across international runway showcases, premium retail destinations, and leading media platforms. Throughout the year, GINA’s profile was further elevated by building on appearances in British Vogue and the Warner Bros. production of the Barbie, focusing on high-impact editorial and film features. Custom made Gina shoes, in collaboration with Richard Quinn, were worn by Beyonce reinforcing the brand’s enduring cultural resonance and broad market appeal.
Following several years of consistent growth, the company recorded a reduction in turnover from £15.17m to £12.49m and a loss for the year of £1.36 million. This was principally due to prolonged road and pavement works affecting footfall and sales at the flagship Sloane Street store. In addition, flat consumer demand in the Middle East impacted the performance of the company’s franchise partner, resulting in a 23% year-on-year decline in supply sales within the region. Despite these headwinds, GINA sustained a strong gross profit margin of 51%, demonstrating resilient demand for its premium product offering and the continued effectiveness of its pricing and product strategy. The company maintained a disciplined approach to strategic investment across core operational areas. A key focus during the year was enhancing manufacturing capabilities, including significant capital investment in bespoke banding machinery produced in Austria. Bringing Swarovski banding production in-house marked an important operational milestone—delivering increased production capacity, enhanced design flexibility, reduced stockholding requirements, and improved cost efficiency. Previously, high minimum order quantities and long lead times presented challenges; internalising this capability has materially strengthened operational agility. Investments were also made in the company’s estate, including further improvements to the Tottenham production facility. This site remains central to GINA’s commitment to British craftsmanship and is equipped for continued expansion, currently supporting production of approximately 1,200 pairs of luxury footwear per week. Targeted marketing, retail refinements, and initiatives to advance GINA’s international presence further reinforced its long-term growth ambitions. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) reduced from £1.69m to –£1.14m, reflecting the reduction in turnover alongside increased administrative expenditure, normalised rents and rates, and broader wage inflation. These dynamics were consistent with trends across the wider luxury retail sector during the period. Notwithstanding a challenging external environment, GINA’s strong brand equity, operational expertise, and long-established market position provide a solid platform for future performance. The company remains committed to delivering outstanding craftsmanship, enhancing the customer experience, and supporting the continued development of its franchise network. The directors believe these strengths position the business to capitalise effectively on future opportunities as market conditions stabilise and improve.

THE GINA GROUP PLC
GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
GINA enters the new financial year with confidence in its strategy, a clear focus on long-term brand value, and an unwavering dedication to the creation of luxury footwear that embodies the company’s heritage, quality, and timeless elegance.
Business Risks
The key business risks and uncertainties affecting the group are considered to relate to competition from other luxury brands, the economic environment and employee retention. The directors consider that the group’s principal business risks are normal trading risks such as losing major customers or market share and the increase of competitors. The group operates in a very competitive environment. Deterioration in sales growth would have a direct effect on financial performance. To counteract this risk, the group undertakes a continual process of product development with the objective of improving design and styling. The group manages existing sales channels by the development of store design concepts, which improve brand recognition, and the improvement of its e-commerce capability which is strategically focused on functionality and fulfillment. Furthermore, the group is developing new sales channels and is marketing the group’s products in new markets. In addition to these actions the directors are constantly undertaking a detailed review of the group's products and markets to maintain the group's growth and profitability. Manufacturing risk is mitigated by actively managing the lead times and cost of materials, which keeps the products and margins competitive. There is a programme of investment in plant and machinery and existing equipment is maintained to a high standard, which both reduces cost and minimises disruption from mechanical breakdowns. The group has also made significant investments in developing a management structure that is directed in the day to day running of the factory, and improved warehousing facilities which has resulted in improved stock management and cost control. The group has also invested in improved technical production systems in order to speed up product development cycles. The group recognises the importance of its workforce and has worked hard to develop and improve employee relations. It is important that the group attracts, develops and retains talent with the correct skills and so the group has introduced competitive reward packages as well as Personal Performance Reviews and Development Plans as part of a continual process of employee education and communication. Liquidity Risk The group manages its cash and borrowing requirements in order to maximise interest income and minimise interest expense, whilst ensuring that it has sufficient liquid resources to meet the operating needs of the business. Credit Risk The group places its cash with credit worthy institutions and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its debtors’ financial positions. New customers who wish to enter into contracts with the group are subject to credit verification procedures and relevant guarantees and or prepayments are sought where appropriate. Trade debtors are reviewed on a regular basis and provision is made for doubtful debts when necessary. Cash-flow and Foreign Exchange Risk The group's cash-flow is managed on a daily basis to ensure adequate funds are available to settle trade creditors. Cash and bank reconciliations are reviewed regularly and exceptions are reported to the board of directors.

THE GINA GROUP PLC
GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
The group sources a significant amount of its supplies from overseas producers and is exposed to foreign exchange transactional risk. Where possible, the directors mitigate this risk by off-setting the revenue that the group receives in foreign currencies against liabilities in those same currencies. The directors thus consider that the group does not have significant exposure to currency risk.
Risk associated with geopolitical uncertainty Global markets in 2024 continued to be shaped by heightened geopolitical instablility and broader macroeconomic shifts. This has resulted in a decrease in sales and increased costs, respectively in 2024 and is expected to continue to do so in 2025 and beyond. Price Risk The stock management system is updated daily with the movements of stocks to and from the group’s customers and suppliers. The group’s shops also conduct regular stock counts. The directors review the reports from the stock management system on a regular basis and reconcile these to the results of stock counts. Exposure to price risk is mitigated by agreeing raw material prices with suppliers in advance. Treasury Operations and Financial Instruments A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability (or equity instrument) in another entity. The group’s principal financial instruments include bank overdrafts and loans used to raise finance for the group’s operations, and various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade debtors and trade creditors arising directly from operations. Financial instruments are not entered into for speculative purposes.
It is the group's policy to agree the terms of payment with suppliers when entering into a transaction in order to ensure that both parties are aware of these terms and abide by them.
This report was approved by the Board of directors and signed on its behalf.

THE GINA GROUP PLC
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GINA GROUP PLC
We have audited the financial statements of The Gina Group Plc ("the company") and its subsidiaries ("the group") for the year ended 31 May 2024, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, the Consolidated and Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 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).
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 group 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.
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 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 AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GINA GROUP PLC (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report and Financial Statements other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report and Financial Statements. 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 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.

THE GINA GROUP PLC
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GINA GROUP PLC (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 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 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.
Our assessment of the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, is considered to be low. The conclusion was reached after the consideration of the following:
∙due to the relatively simple business model there are comparatively few unexpected fluctuations in the reported results and balances and any such unexpected items would be specifically enquired into by us; and
∙there are a number of individuals who comprise "management" and therefore there is no single individual who is likely to be able to override controls to effect fraud.
We designed our audit procedures to respond to identified audit risks, including non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) that are material to the financial statements. Some of the specific procedures performed to detect irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below:
∙the review of control accounts and journal entries for large or unusual entries;
∙the analytical review of the profit and loss account for variances that are either unexpected or considered not to be in accordance with our understanding of the business during the year;
∙obtaining and reviewing for completeness a list of entities and persons considered to be related parties (as defined by Financial Reporting Standard 102) and reviewing the ledgers of the company for previously unreported related party transactions; and
∙the review of transactions and journals for any indication of fraud or management override.
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 Auditor's Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
The Gina Group PLC ("the company") manages the Gina brand and acts as a holding company to Gina Shoes Limited and three other non-trading subsidiaries (collectively "the group").
The group design, manufacture and retail women's designer footwear and accessories. The group is headed by a public company limited by shares and is incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 104-106 Brantwood Road, Tottenham, London, N17 0XW.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland' ("FRS 102") 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 the group's management to exercise judgment in applying the group's and company's accounting policies (see Note 3). The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its own subsidiaries as if they formed a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance Sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 1 April 2014. Therefore, the company continues to recognise a merger reserve which arose on a past business combination that was accounted for as a merger in accordance with UK GAAP as applied at that time.
During the year the the group reported losses after taxation of £1,362,028 and had net current assets and net assets of £8,603,143 and £10,635,798 respectively. Taking this into account together with the group's future trading prospects and cashflow forecasts the directors consider the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements is appropriate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The following criteria must all also be met before revenue is recognised:
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.
At each reporting date the group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The group 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 group. The carrying amount of the replaced part is unrecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on the following basis:
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.Accounting policies (continued)
The group only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration, expected to be paid or received. However if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The company's and group's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account.
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the group. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the group to the fund in respect of the year.

(a) Valuation of work in progress and finished goods The group estimates the cost of its finished goods and work in progress having undertaken time and motion studies which, together with the cost of materials to produce these shoes, enables the group to determine the cost of its finished goods and work in progress. A reduction is applied to finished goods, based on the most recent data that supports any shortfall between cost and net realisable value. See Note 17 for the net carrying amount of the work in progress and finished goods. (b) Impairment of stock Management assesses annually whether there are indicators of impairment of the group’s stocks at the year end. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the age and salability of the stock and whether the book value of the stock exceeds its expected net sales value. See Note 17 for the net carrying amount of the stocks. (c) Useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets The annual depreciation or amortisation charge for tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancements, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See Note 15 for the carrying amount of the tangible fixed assets and Note 2.5 for the useful economic lives for each class of asset.
