Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2026


The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 March 2026.

Review of business
The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 March 2026.

Following the investment by Newable Limited in April 2022, the group consists of Newable CMS Ltd (majority owned by Newable Capital Ltd and ultimately by Newable Partnership Ltd), CMS Holdings UK Ltd, Commercial Maintenance Services UK Ltd (a commercial M&E services provider), and Advantage Utilities Services Ltd (a utilities services company).

The group continues to operate primarily in the provision of reactive and planned mechanical and electrical maintenance services across the healthcare, retail, commercial and hospitality sectors.

The group has established a strong market position as a recognised provider of high-quality nationwide services, with customers valuing the reliability and expertise of its offering.

During the year ended 31 March 2026, the group experienced a modest reduction in turnover alongside a significant decline in overall profitability:

- Revenue decreased to £30.2m (2025: £31.5m)
- Profit before tax reduced to £0.17m (2025: £1.35m)

This reduction in profitability was primarily driven by:
- An increase in administrative expenses, which rose to £7.34m (2025: £6.86m), following continued investment in infrastructure, staffing and systems to support growth
- Higher finance costs of £0.50m (2025: £0.44m)
- Cost of sales reducing year-on-year, maintaining Gross Margins at last year's levels (>25%)

Operating profit reduced to £0.66m (2025: £1.79m).

Despite this, the underlying demand for services remained resilient, with continued activity across key sectors and ongoing client retention.

Principal risks and uncertainties
The group maintains a structured approach to risk management, with ongoing monitoring and mitigation of key financial and operational risks.

Financial risks
The group is exposed to credit, liquidity, and cash flow risks:
- Credit risk arises primarily from trade receivables, which remain significant at £6.1m - marginally lower that FY25
- Liquidity risk remains a key consideration, with the group utilising ID facilities of £2.9m as part of its funding structure
- Cash flow risk is driven by working capital intensity and timing differences in customer receipts

Operational risks
Key operational risks include:
- Cost inflation and the ability to recover this through pricing
- Maintaining operational efficiency following a period of growth
- Delivery and service quality across a large national workforce
- Health & Safety risks, managed through the internal SHEQ function

The group continues to strengthen its operational and financial controls to mitigate these risks.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2026

Development and performance
The group operates in a resilient sector, where demand for maintenance services remains relatively stable despite economic uncertainty.

During the year:
- Turnover decreased by c.4% to £30.2m
- Gross profit remained strong at £8.0m (2025: £8.6m)
- Administrative expenses increased materially, impacting profitability
- Operating profit reduced to £0.66m (2025: £1.79m)
- Profit before tax reduced to £0.17m (2025: £1.35m)

Despite lower profitability, the group:
- Generated strong operating cash flow of £1.9m
- Maintained a stable net asset position of £5.16m
- Completed a restructuring of group debt, with long-term debt now held within Newable CMS Ltd

Operationally, the group:
- Continued to provide nationwide service coverage
- Maintained a diversified and resilient customer base
- Invested in systems, workforce capability and complementary services (including HVAC, EV charging and building systems)

The directors recognise that FY2026 represents a period of consolidation, where prior investment and cost base expansion has impacted short-term profitability.

Key performance indicators
The group's primary financial objectives remain profitability and cash generation.

Key financial metrics for the year:
- Turnover: £30,238,420 (2025: £31,519,398)
- Operating profit: £662,956 (2025: £1,790,466)
- Profit before tax: £165,582 (2025: £1,348,710)
- Operating cash flow: £1,885,021

While revenue remained relatively stable, profitability was significantly impacted by an increased cost base, particularly within administrative expenses.

Cash generation remained strong, reflecting effective operational cash management.

Group Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2026

Outlook
The directors remain confident in the long-term prospects of the group, supported by:
- A strong market position
- A diversified customer base
- Continued demand for maintenance services

Key priorities for the coming year include:
- Optimisation of the cost base to restore profitability
- Improvement in operating margins through efficiency and pricing discipline
- Further strengthening of working capital management, particularly debtor collections
- Reduction in reliance on short-term funding facilities over time

The directors expect that the benefits of prior investment, combined with improved cost control, will result in improved profitability and sustained cash generation in future periods.

Statement of directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group strategic report, the Report of the directors 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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;
- 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Statement as to disclosure of information to auditors
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
CMS Holdings UK Limited


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of CMS Holdings UK Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2026 which comprise the Consolidated income statement, Consolidated other comprehensive income, Consolidated statement of financial position, Company statement of financial position, Consolidated statement of changes in equity, Company statement of changes in equity, Consolidated statement of cash flows and Notes to the consolidated statement of cash flows, 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 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 March 2026 and of the group's 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 group 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 group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group strategic report and the Report of the directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the auditors thereon.

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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
CMS Holdings UK Limited


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 Group strategic report and the Report of the directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Group strategic report and the Report of the directors 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 group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group strategic report or the Report of the directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company 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 Statement of directors' responsibilities set out on page five, 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 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
CMS Holdings UK Limited


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 a Report of the auditors 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.

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 lines with our responsibilities, outlines 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 approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliances with laws and regulations, was as follows:

- the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate
competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and
regulations;
- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors
and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the client company's
sector.
- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on
the financial statements or the operations of the company.
- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making
enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team
remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their
knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
- tested journals entries to identify unusual transactions;
- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
- reviewing correspondence with HMRC and the company's legal advisors.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.


Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
CMS Holdings UK Limited

Material misstatement that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

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 Report of the auditors.

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 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 a Report of the auditors 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.

for the Year Ended 31 March 2026


1. Statutory information

CMS Holdings UK Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company CMS Holdings UK Ltd together with all entities controlled by the parent company (its subsidiaries) and the group's share of its interests in joint ventures and associates.

All financial statements are made up to 31 March 2026. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the group.

All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

Subsidiaries are consolidated in the group's financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Significant judgements and estimates
In the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies, management has not made any judgements that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Management has also assessed that there are no key sources of estimation uncertainty that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

3. Accounting policies - continued

Turnover
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer (usually on dispatch of the goods), the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Revenue for the provision of professional services is recognised upon completion of the service being delivered.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of the business in 2000. This has been fully amortised.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Long leasehold - 5 years straight line
Plant and machinery - 20% on a straight line basis and 5 years straight line
Fixtures and fittings - 10% on a straight line basis and 5 years straight line
Motor vehicles - 20% on a straight line basis and 4 years straight line
Computer equipment - 50% on cost and Straight line over 3 years

Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

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.

3. Accounting policies - continued
Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements.
The interest is charged to profit or loss so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

3. Accounting policies - continued

Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
