STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors present their Strategic report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The principal activity during the year was the distribution of vehicle components to the after sales market.
Turnover increased by 8.5% to £163.4 million from £150.7 million in 2025 primarily due to higher demand for our transmission products and the introduction of new product lines. The gross profit margin increased by 0.4% to 9.3% resulting in an increase in gross profit of 13.5% to £15.2 million primarily as a result of a decrease in purchase costs. Profit before tax reduced by 89.5% to £0.2m driven by higher administrative expenses and an adverse interest and FX result.

Sales reached the level of £163 million in the fourth year of trading with satisfactory volumes across the majority of product lines. The company in conjunction with the Schaeffler Group is marketing and selling new products in the car, commercial vehicle and tractor areas of the automotive aftermarket business, and the prospects for the coming year suggest a significant further increase in sales. It is evident that the Schaeffler brands are highly valued and appreciated in all sectors of our markets. In support of new and existing business, the company is planning its investment strategy in the distribution and sales and marketing areas of the business. This is part of the company's long-term plan for growth in the automotive business. Continued and additional training of employees will enhance and underpin the company's leading position in the industry, with skilled employees in the required technology fields.
The company will continue to grow its business in traditional market sectors and consider options for further expansion. The company will continue its long-term growth plans following recent capital investment, and opportunities are being sought to underpin this expansion. Ongoing staff training at all levels remains a top priority to enhance best possible technical and service performance. The Schaeffler Group maintains its commitment to research and development to support the launch of new products, materials and processes and this will ensure that leading-edge products continue to be developed for the automotive market sector.

Currency risk
The Company faces currency risk on its currency transaction flows with customers and suppliers. It mitigates the risk by internal hedging and the use of the Group currency pooling arrangement.
Competition risk

The Company's greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption for the year are:
Quantification and reporting methodology
We have followed the 2019 HM Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines.
We have also used the GHG Reporting Protocol - Corporate Standard and have used the 2025 UK Government's Conversion Factors for Company Reporting.
Intensity measurement
The chosen intensity measurement ratio is total gross emissions in tonnes of CO2e per £1,000 turnover.
Energy Efficiency Action Taken
Since 2019, our electricity is sourced from 100% REGO-Backed renewables.

We have also used the GHG Reporting Protocol - Corporate Standard and have used the 2025 UK Government's Conversion Factors for Company Reporting.
Intensity measurement
The chosen intensity measurement ratio is total gross emissions in tonnes of CO2e per £1,000 turnover.
Energy Efficiency Action Taken
Since 2019, our electricity is sourced from 100% REGO-Backed renewables.
We have rolled out a program of converting existing lighting in the plant and offices to Energy Efficient LED lighting with motion control wherever possible to lower energy usage for lighting. This is expected to save over 10,000 kWh in the next 10 years.
We have introduced a program for detecting and repairing air leaks in the compressed air systems, reducing the amount of compressed air produced and therefore the usage of electricity. This is expected to save over 1.5 GWh over the next 10 years.
It is now company policy to work from home and to use video-conferencing where possible for internal and external meetings. This has reduced commuting, national and international travel significantly.
The fleet of company cars are being changed from Diesel to Petrol Hybrid Cars or fully electric. 93% of the fleet is already transferred to the Petrol Hybrid or fully electric, significantly reducing CO2 and particulate emissions. 6 EV charging points have now been installed.
We are in the process of installing pulse valves and reducing the system air pressure to reduce the amount of air used and the electricity needed to produce air.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SCHAEFFLER VEHICLE LIFETIME SOLUTIONS UK LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions UK Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the 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 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’ (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 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.
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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SCHAEFFLER VEHICLE LIFETIME SOLUTIONS UK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
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.

SCHAEFFLER VEHICLE LIFETIME SOLUTIONS UK LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SCHAEFFLER VEHICLE LIFETIME SOLUTIONS UK LIMITED (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 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:
∙We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the Company, focusing on those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on its operations. Key laws and regulations that we identified included the Companies Act 2006, FRS 101, tax legislation, Health and Safety Regulations and employment legislation.
∙We enquired of the directors, reviewed correspondence with HMRC and reviewed directors meeting minutes for evidence of non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
∙We also reviewed controls the directors have in place to ensure compliance.
∙We gained an understanding of the controls that the directors have in place to prevent and detect fraud.
∙We enquired of the directors about any incidences of fraud that had taken place during the accounting period. The risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud was discussed within the audit team and tests were planned and performed to address these risks. We identified the potential for fraud in the following areas: management override of controls and revenue recognition.
∙We reviewed financial statements disclosures and tested to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above.
∙We enquired of the directors about actual and potential litigation and claims.
∙We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that might indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
∙In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates were indicative of a potential bias.
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.

Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions UK Limited is a private company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales and domiciled in the UK.
2.Accounting policies
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 101 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:
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions under FRS 101:
∙the requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
∙the requirement in paragraph 38 of IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' to present comparative information in respect of:
- paragraph 73(e) of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment;
- paragraph 118(e) of IAS 38 Intangible Assets;
∙the requirements of IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows
∙the requirements in IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures to disclose related party transactions entered into between two or more members of a group, provided that any subsidiary which is a party to the transaction is wholly owned by such a member
In accordance with FRS 101, these exemptions have been applied on the basis that the Company is included in the publicly available consolidated financial statements of Schaeffler AG for the year ended 31 December 2025, in which the equivalent disclosures are provided.

SCHAEFFLER VEHICLE LIFETIME SOLUTIONS UK LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons.
The Company is profitable and is in a net asset position. It meets its day to day working capital requirements from a funding facility comprising a cash pooling facility of £10m, which was drawn to the extent of £0.2m at 31 December 2025 and a loan facility of £36m, which was drawn to the extent of £27m at 31 December 2025.
The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the Company through to June 2027, which indicate that taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period, with substantial headroom available in terms of undrawn amounts on the group funding facility.
The group cash pooling and loan facilities expire in June 2027. As with any Company placing reliance on other group entities for funding support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so.
Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due until at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

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:

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Materials purchased are valued at average cost whilst finished goods are valued using a standard costing system. Standard cost consists of purchase cost, cost of direct material and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Company recognises financial instruments when it becomes a party to the contractual arrangements of the instrument. Financial instruments are de-recognised when they are discharged or when the contractual terms expire. The Company's accounting policies in respect of financial instruments transactions are explained below:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.
Financial assets
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either fair value or amortised cost, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
