GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors present their Strategic Report for Roxane UK Ltd ("the Group'") for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The principal activities of the Group were the production, import and wholesale of spring water.
The Group generated a profit after tax of £45,531,062 (2024: £38,974,830) based on a turnover of £255,038,972 (2024: £224,621,097). The Group had an operating profit of £63,471,938 (2024: £57,044,736); it benefited from increased sales volumes and continued growth in demand compared with the prior year. The Group invested in a spring water site in Lichfield in 2012 and in land and another site at Eden Valley in 2020. The Group has continued to develop its activity in Lichfield and Eden Valley through additional investments on these sites.
The Group established a risk and financial management framework the primary objectives of which are to protect the Group from events that hinder the achievement of its performance objectives.
Competitive risks The objectives aim to limit undue counterparty exposure, ensure the sufficiency of working capital and monitor management risk at a business unit level. Exposure to credit, liquidity, cash flow and foreign currency risks Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Our policies are aimed at minimising such losses, and require that deferred terms are only granted to customers who demonstrate an appropriate payment history and satisfy creditworthiness procedures. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. We aim to mitigate liquidity risk by managing cash generation by our operations and applying cash collection targets. Cash flow risk is the risk that inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to finance the day-to-day operations. We manage cash flow risk by careful negotiation of terms with customers and suppliers. The Group has contracted loans denominated in euros and is therefore subject to foreign exchange movements between sterling and the euro. This risk is mitigated and monitored by the parent company. In order to finance new investments and to hedge against sterling/euro exchange differences, the Group has taken exchange rate swaps in respect of its loans. This enables the Group effectively to lock the exchange rate.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Section 172(1) Statement
The directors have acted in good faith in a way that they considered would promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members in accordance with section 172 of the Companies Act 2006. The key matters for which they have had regard include the following: Optimisation of purchasing: The directors strategically optimise the sourcing of raw materials in the best interests of the Group. Likely consequence of any decision in the long term: The key decisions taken during 2025 related to the Group's ongoing operational management and promotion. The likely long-term effect of such decisions is always considered, in order to ensure that the Group's operations are sustainable into the future. Employees: The Group takes steps to communicate and consult with employees in order to ensure that, as far as possible, they are engaged, involved and informed about decisions which affect them. Decisions taken by the directors to protect and promote the best interests of the Group also inherently protect the interests of its employees. Business relationships: The decisions of the directors are always guided by the principles of being straightforward and respectful towards suppliers and customers, in order to develop sustainable positive business relations. Thus, the Group is able to interact with suppliers and customers with openness and cooperation. Reputation: The Group's reputation is fundamental to its long-term success and the directors are committed to supporting this through adhering to laws and regulations, conducting business in a socially and environmentally responsible way, and treating all stakeholders with honesty and integrity. Community and environment: The Group is conscious of its social and environmental impact, and the directors seek opportunities to limit the environmental footprint of the operations of the Group wherever this is practically and commercially feasible. Need to act fairly between members of the company: The Group is wholly owned by Alma SA, and key decisions of the Group are supervised by that shareholder. Information is shared effectively to ensure that the shareholder is engaged. Future developments: The Group intends to continue expanding and improving its manufacturing process. The Group wants to protect its water resources and therefore intends to move forward with plans to purchase further land on the Eden Valley site.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Quantification and reporting methodology
We have used the GHG Reporting Protocol - Corporate Standard and have used the 2020 UK Government's Conversion Factors for Group Reporting. Measures taken to improve energy efficiency The business did not undertake any energy efficiency activities during the year. However, the Group is mindful of its environmental obligations and will examine opportunities to reduce energy consumption and therefore carbon emissions in the year ahead.
Intensity Measurement
The intensity metric chosen is KgCO2e per £ of revenue. The Group total is 0.026KgCO2e/£ (Purchased electricity).
As permitted by paragraph 1A of schedule 7 to the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 certain matters which are required to be disclosed in the directors' report have been omitted as they are included in the strategic report on pages 1 to 3. These matters relate to financial instruments, stakeholder engagement, employee engagement and future developments.
Economic impact of global events UK businesses are facing many uncertainties and challenges caused by political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental factors. These uncertainties have contributed to an environment in which there exists a range of issues and risks, including inflation, rising interest rates, labour shortages, disrupted supply chains and new ways of working. The directors have carried out an assessment of the potential impact of these uncertainties on the business, including the impact of mitigation measures, and concluded that the greatest impact on the business is expected to be from the economic ripple effect on the global economy. The directors have taken account of these potential impacts in their going concern assessment. The Group continues to work with its partners to minimise any impacts of these events and maximise the realisation of any opportunities they may provide to the business. For example, the Group recognises that due to the conflict between USA and Iran that has arisen in February 2026, the price of raw materials has been negatively impacted.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROXANE UK LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Roxane UK Ltd (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Analysis of Net Debt, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company 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 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROXANE UK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The director is 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Director's 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 Director's Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Director's Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROXANE 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 Group 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:
• 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 risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, because fraud may involve deliberate concealment. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with those charged with the management and governance of the Group. • We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the Group, and determined that the most significant are ordinary commercial law and health and safety regulations concerning employees. We obtained an understanding of how the Group is complying with these frameworks by reviewing the Group's procedures and controls, the awareness and efficacy of those charged with governance, the culture of honesty and ethical behaviour, and the extent to which emphasis is placed on fraud prevention, deterrence and detection. • We evaluated the incentives of the directors and management, and their opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of the override of the controls, and determined that the principal risks relate to the posting of manual journal entries to manipulate the appearance of the financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates and one-off or unusual transactions. We assessed the susceptibility of the Group's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management and evaluating the adequacy of the Group's system of internal controls. We considered that there was no history of fraud, error, non-compliance, unusual transactions, or difficulty obtaining audit evidence. We also considered numerous risk factors, including pressures on management, the extent of judgement in determining account balances, the susceptibility of assets to loss or misappropriation, staff morale and the degree of staff turnover in the accounting department.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROXANE UK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
• We identified that non-compliance with employment regulations and health and safety regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements, along with the recognition of turnover. Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to detect irregularities including fraud. Our Procedures involved:
o performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; o testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments to the nominal ledger; o checking completeness of the sequence of sales invoices and verifying the correct accounting for a sample of sales invoices from the boundary of the accounting system to the nominal ledger; o assessing whether judgements made by the accounting staff or management were indicative of potential bias; o testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments to the nominal ledger; o making enquiries of the directors and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; o assessing whether judgements made by accounting staff or management were indicative of potential bias; and o considering the Group's approach to the health and safety of staff, and the extent of compliance with related laws and regulations.
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.
This report is made solely to the Group'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 Group'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 Group and the Group'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
Roxane UK Ltd and it's subsidiaries are 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 Company information page.
2.Accounting policies
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 Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income 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 .
The FRC issued Amendments to FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK in March 2024. The amendments focused on updating accounting requirements to reflect changes in International Financial Reporting Standards, particularly with respect to revenue and leases. Whilst the amendments are not applicable in the current year, they will result in significant changes for the accounting period commencing 1 January 2026.
The primary change for the Group is in the treatment of leases which are currently classified as operating leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities (net of discounting) will be added to the balance sheet for leases previously classified as operating leases. The impact on the profit and loss account and related disclosures will be to replace rental expense with depreciation on right-of-use assets and include interest payable on unwinding of lease liabilities. The financial impact of adjustments required as a result of the change in FRS 102 has not yet been determined.

Goodwill
Other intangible assets
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:
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:
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Balance Sheet when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Basic financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Other financial instruments
Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Group transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Group will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that year, or in the year of the revision and future years, if the revision affects both current and future years. Critical judgements in applying the group's accounting policies The critical judgments that the directors have made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are discussed below. (i) Assessing indicators of impairment In assessing whether there have been any indicators of impairment of assets, the directors have considered both external and internal sources of information such as market conditions and experience of recoverability. There have been no indicators of impairments identified during the current financial year. (ii) Establishing fair value of financial instruments (Note 19) When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets or on the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset or liability, their fair values are measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. (i) Estimating value in use Where an indication of impairment exists, the directors carry out an impairment review to determine the recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the asset or the cash generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. (ii) Recoverability of debtors A provision for debtors is established where it is estimated that the debtors are not considered to be fully recoverable.
