STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The directors present their Strategic Report for the year ended 31 December 2025. This Strategic Report has been prepared for Optimizely Ltd (the 'Company'). 

Introduction
 
Optimizely provides the industry’s leading Digital Experience Platform, combining content and commerce management with patented AI-powered experimentation, personalization and customer data management. More than 10,000 businesses worldwide use Optimizely’s solutions to deliver more than 1 billion digital experiences every day.
Sales are made through a combination of direct sales and marketing activities across North America, Europe, APJ and MEA; alongside an extensive network of more than 700 solution partners in over 30 countries. The Digital Experience Platform service is targeted at both digitally mature enterprise organizations with large-scale customer bases looking to drive continuous experimentation and optimization of their digital experiences, as well as mid-market organizations looking to get started quickly with smaller digital experiences and leverage AI to scale faster. Optimizely's solutions are primarily purchased as a single subscription and delivered through the cloud via Software-as-a-Service ('SaaS').
Optimizely's core strategy revolves around addressing the fragmentation of the MarTech stack, a challenge that has escalated as the market expanded from hundreds to thousands of companies over the last decade. This fragmentation raised ownership costs, decreased technology adoption, and led to uneven marketing technology performance. Through strategic acquisitions, Optimizely aims to consolidate and improve the efficiency of marketing technologies, emphasizing the critical role of content in digital experiences. Optimizely's strategy merges creativity with data-driven decisions through experimentation and optimization, enabling marketers to predict outcomes with greater accuracy.
Optimizely's Digital Experience Platform is a single subscription service that includes everything the customer needs without having to purchase servers, licences, support or hosting separately. Optimizely's solution can be easily integrated into an organization's existing technology environment, leveraging our marketplace of more than 120 pre-built third-party integrations. 
Optimizely combines stability and scalability of commercial products with proactive guidance and support through our dedicated customer success teams, in-person and online training & certification, and our active online community with more than 40,000 developer members.

Business review
 
During the year, turnover has increased by £5.7m (23%) due to the increased support provided to other group companies, resulting in a £5.8m (23%) uplift in intercompany revenue and a reduction in subscription revenue from UK customer contracts of £45k (15%) as the Company moves away from procuring any new UK contracts and more towards marketing, development, customer success and administrative functions across the group. 
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £6,112,968 (loss 2024: £1,353,452).

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Financial key performance indicators
The Company's key performance indicators (KPIs) and growth measures are as follows:

2025
2024
        £
        £
Revenue

31,021,006

25,293,803
 
Gross profit

26,533,500

21,453,044
 
Administrative expenses

(24,151,813)

(23,731,391)
 
EBITDA

2,102,821

(2,120,139)
 

Although the above KPIs are monitored by management and the directors, the Company no longer contracts with any new customers in the UK entity. Whilst new customer contracts will be prominent in other group entities, the Company will be monitored more as a marketing, development, customer success and administrative function.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The principal risks facing the group are the retention of skilled employees and the financial risks explained below.
Retention of skilled employees
The business must maintain a high level of technical expertise within its staff. The risk is mitigated by trying to maintain low staff turnover through investment in training and ensuring staff compensation and benefits are commensurate with the markets in the locations where employed.
Product
The Company must continue to offer products at the forefront of its technology and mitigate this risk by continuing investment in research and development.
Credit risk
The directors operate a credit approval policy that seeks to prevent shipment of software to resellers or customers whose accounts are high risk. Credit control regularly reports to management and reviews are undertaken to ensure risks are minimized.
Inflation and interest rate risk
In addition to the specific risks above, the impact of inflation and rising interest rates globally may impact the discretionary spend of customers and management will continue to monitor it closely.
Currency risk
The Company has minimal exposure to foreign exchange differences with more than 90% of costs in GBP (£). Although the Company does experience year to year fluctuations on its long term debt which is denominated in other currencies.
Data protection
Regulation of data collection, data security and user privacy continue to evolve globally, which may impact the ability to collect data and optimize the performance of digital experiences. The directors and management are confident that the impacts of data regulation are manageable by the group, and given our software relies on the use of 1st party collected rather than 3rd party collected user data, the Company aligns positively to the market direction of consent-driven digital experiences.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Future developments

As discussed above, the Company is largely a sales, marketing, development, customer success and administrative company that provides support to the overall group. Therefore, future development will be measured by sales generation and support provided by UK based employees.

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OPTIMIZELY LTD
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Optimizely Ltd (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, 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 2025 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.


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 4, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OPTIMIZELY LTD (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.

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
 
the responsible individual 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 management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience; 
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, including the Companies Act 2006 and taxation legislation; 
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; and
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 journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
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; and
reviewing correspondence with HMRC.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OPTIMIZELY LTD (CONTINUED)

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.

Material misstatements 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 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 2025

1.


General information

Optimizely Ltd is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in the United Kingdom and registered in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. Its registered office and place of business is 60 St Martins Lane, 4th Floor, Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom, WC2N 4JS. The nature of the Company's operations are set out in the Directors' Report.

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 Company is in a net liability position. This is primarily as a result of the net amounts owed to group undertakings, which the directors have confirmed will not be repayable until the Company has sufficient resources to do so. The Company's business model is solely a transfer pricing arrangement with the fellow group company, Optimizely North America Inc. it is reliant upon the continued support of that company in order to remain a going concern. 
The Company has received written confirmation from Optimizely North America Inc. and Epsilon Group New Holdings Limited that they will continue to provide financial support for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. In assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the directors have considered the availability of financing from the parent company and are confident the Company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. For these reasons, the directors continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. 

 
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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.3
Foreign currency translation (continued)


  
2.4

Turnover

Turnover represents amounts receivable for term subscriptions and set up fees, net of VAT and trade discounts. Term subscription income relates to use of the Company's software products. Turnover is recognised on a straight line over the service period of the subscription.
Intercompany turnover is recognised on a cost plus basis of 12% for management support services, 5% for routine support services and 8% for sales and marketing expenses in line with the intercompany service agreement with Optimizely North America Inc., fellow group company. Intercompany turnover is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied: 
 
the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the service agreement; 
the costs incurred under the service agreement 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.

 
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 Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.9

Share-based payments

Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each balance sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.
The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme).
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

 
2.10

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 balance sheet 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 balance sheet 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 balance sheet date.


 
2.11

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.

OPTIMIZELY LTD
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.11
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

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:

Leasehold improvements
-
20%
on cost
Fixtures and fittings
-
25%
on cost
Computer equipment
-
33%
on cost

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.

  
2.12

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in 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 debtors and creditors, 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 in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an 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.

 
2.13

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Short-term amounts owed by group undertakings are intercompany loans measured at cost. These loans are unsecured and repayable on demand. 
Long-term debtors are measured initially at amortised cost and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Long-term amounts owed by group undertakings are unsecured and interest is charged at an amount of 6% per annum.

2.14

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions.

In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand.

  
2.15

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Amounts owed to group undertakings are intercompany loans measured at cost. These loans are unsecured and repayable on demand.
Long-term creditors are amounts owed by group undertakings, measured initially at amortised cost and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. These are unsecured and interest is charged at an amount of 6% per annum. 

  
2.16

Share premium

Share premium account represents the excess of the issue price over the par value on shares issued less transaction costs arising on issue.


3.


Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS 102 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. 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 estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are addressed below.
Share based payments
The directors review the outstanding share options annually to assess the probability of vesting and exercise. The directors have concluded that the share options granted to employees are likely to vest and as such an expense has been recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Recoverability of intercompany debt
The Company assesses the amounts recoverable from group undertakings on an annual basis. This assessment includes a review of the position of other group companies and their ability to repay the debts due, together with balance confirmations from each entity. As at 31 December 2025, no impairment or allowance was recorded against these debts and they were deemed fully recoverable. This is a significant judgement which could have a material effect on these financial statements.
Recognition of deferred tax assets
Management have determined that the Company's expected future performance is sufficient enough to recognise a deferred tax asset for the Company's carried forward, unrelieved tax losses. Management has considered the uncertainty in relation to the expected timing of the utilisation of losses but believes based on the Company's historic and forecast growth that the Company will obtain the benefit of tax relief available to them. This is a significant judgement which could have an impact to these financial statements

Share-based payments

Plan 1 - Share incentive plan
A scheme was introduced on 21 March 2019 by Epsilon Group New Holdings Limited. In accordance with the terms of the plan, certain employees may be granted options to buy Ordinary shares. Each employee share option converts into one Ordinary B share of the Company on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. All options granted vest in 5 equal tranches on each anniversary of the grant date. If the options remain unexercised after a period of ten years from the date of grant the options expire. Options are forfeited if the employee leaves the Group before the options vest. 
On 17 November 2025, the exercise price of B Ordinary options were repriced from $17.20 to $14.20 and the vesting profile was extended by approximately 12 months for retention purposes. Management obtained a valuation dated 30 November 2025 to support the fair value of the relevant securities. Management have treated this as a modification which was favourable to the employee as it resulted in an uplift in the fair value of the options, the incremental value was subsequently recognised as an increase in the expense although, the net total share based payment was a credit for the year. 
The total number of options granted during the year was 40,000 (2024: 80,500), with a weighted average exercise price of $17.20 and fair value of $1.40 at the grant date and during the year 136,000 (2024: 25,000) were forfeited. The number options outstanding as at 31 December 2025 under this plan was 289,834 (2024: 460,216).
The Company recognised a credit of £112,042 (2024: expense of £88,492) related to the Share Incentive Plan share based payments transactions in the year.
During the year, the fair value of share-based payment awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. In the prior year, fair values were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
