DIRECTOR'S REPORT
The director presents his report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Director's responsibilities statement
The director is responsible for preparing the Director's Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is required to:
●
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
●
make judgments 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 December 2025
1. Basis of preparation
General information
Vinted (UK) Limited (the Company) is a private company limited by shares, incorporated and registered in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006 (Company number: 14685110). The address of the registered office is 5 New Street Square, London, United Kingdom, EC4A 3TW.
The principal activity of the Company during the period was provision of administrative services to its Parent Company Vinted, UAB.
The Company meets the qualification criteria of a small company under the Companies Act 2006. Accordingly, the Company is utilizing the exemptions available to entities subject to the small companies regime.
Basis of accounting
The financial statements of Vinted (UK) Limited have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101, "Reduced Disclosure Framework" ("FRS 101"), under the historical cost convention, as modified by certain financial assets measured at fair value, and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
The material accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out in note 3. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS 101 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates, which, by definition, will likely differ from the actual results. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below.
The following exemptions from the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") have been applied in the preparation of these financial statements, in accordance with FRS 101:
●
Paragraph 45(b) and paragraphs 46 to 52 of IFRS 2, ‘Share-based Payment' (information about how the fair value of share-based payment arrangements was determined, and about the effect of share-based payment transactions on profit or loss and the financial position), provided that the arrangement concerns the equity instruments of another group entity and equivalent disclosures are included in the consolidated financial statements of the group in which the Company is consolidated;true
●
IFRS 7, ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures', provided that equivalent disclosures are included in the consolidated financial statements of the group in which the Company is consolidated;true
●
Paragraphs 91 to 99 of IFRS 13, ‘Fair Value Measurement', provided that equivalent disclosures are included in the consolidated financial statements of the group in which the Company is consolidated;true

The financial statements are presented in thousands of Sterling (£'000), which is the functional currency of the Company, unless stated otherwise. Amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand and, as a result, minor rounding differences may arise on aggregation of individual line items.
Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Estimates and judgments are required when applying accounting policies. These 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 Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future, which can involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.
●
The Company recognises share-based payment expense for share options granted to employees based on the grant-date fair value of the options, recognised over the vesting period. The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires management to make assumptions.
Going concern
The director has assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months after the date of signing of the financial statements. For this reason, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which presumes the realisation of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business.
2. Adoption of new and revised Standards
New standards and amendments effective for the current reporting year
The following amendment to the existing standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is effective for the current reporting year. Adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's financial results.

3. Material accounting policy information
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when performance obligations are met and over the period in which the services are provided. Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer net of refunds, discounts, and deferred amounts, and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. There are no variable considerations and no critical judgments in revenue recognition.
Finance income and expense
Interest income remitted or expense charged on the cash and cash equivalents kept in regular bank accounts is recognised on accrual basis as finance income.
Foreign exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period are recognised in profit or loss as finance income or costs.
Foreign currency translation
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 as finance income or costs.
All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in Income Statement and Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'Finance costs'.

3. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Taxation
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 reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Property, plant and equipment
After initial recognition, assets are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Each significant item of property, plant and equipment is depreciated separately and, based on the useful life and depreciation method assigned, such items are grouped in the financial statements. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
Group of property, plant and equipment
Estimated useful life
IT equipment
2 - 4 years
The residual value and the useful life of assets is reviewed each financial period and, if expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate in accordance with IAS 8.
Company's property, plant and equipment comprises only IT equipment.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in banks and deposits with financial institutions repayable on demand, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Cash equivalents are considered as short term, highly liquid investments that are convertible to known amounts of cash with a remaining maturity of three months or less and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is approximately equal to their fair value. Cash at banks consists of cash held for operational purposes.
Share-based payments
The Company is using a share-based compensation plan, under which the employees provide services to the Company and, as a consideration, they are granted with equity instruments (share options) of Vinted Limited (the Vinted Group parent company). Liabilities arising from such share-based payment transactions are classified as equity. The expense for the options granted is recorded in profit or loss at the fair value of the employee services received, which is measured by reference to the fair value of the options at grant date.
When the share option grant date occurs on the date later than the commencement of services by an employee, the Company recognises the related expense from the next financial month after the grant date to align with the vesting conditions.
When share options are exercised by the employees of the Company, the share-based payments reserve established within equity may be transferred to retained earnings in accordance with applicable company laws. No transfers were made during 2025 and 2024.
Taxes arising from the exercise of the share options are costs incurred by the employees. The Company records a tax liability with no tax expense arising if there is a requirement to withhold such taxes on behalf of employees.
Capital and reserves
Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
Profit and loss account includes all current and prior period retained profits and losses.
