STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The principal activity of the company continued to be that of the provision of cloud based educational computer software and the delivery of continued professional development (CPD). There have not been any significant changes in the company's principal activities in the year under review.
The results for the year show turnover of £24m (2024: £24m) and pre-tax loss of £1m (2024: £15m profit). The company had net assets of £512m (2024: £513m) at the balance sheet date. The business continues to develop and localise educational computer software solutions, and make these available to customers in the United Kingdom and abroad. In addition, the company continues to form and develop partnerships with educational institutions and other educational product suppliers.
The management of the business and the execution of the company's strategy are subject to a number of risks. The key business risks and uncertainties affecting the company are considered to be competition at both national and international level and changes in technology, as well as fluctuations in education budgets.
Management monitors the performance of the operations regularly and carefully, comparing to both budget and detailed reforecasts (carried out three times per annum) to ensure correct business decisions can be taken, considering both short term performance needs and long term growth.
The Company has also implemented a series of KPI reports to continually assess business performance. These are reviewed and updated regularly. KPIs monitored on a daily and weekly basis are: • Sales volume and value • Sales order pipeline KPIs monitored monthly are the above plus: • Cash flow and collections KPI’s • Risk dashboard • Product margins • Operations metrics focusing on key interaction areas with customers such as sales order processing and customer service calls • Detailed sales, growth and retention metrics. Critical performance metrics that support the results presented in these accounts are; • Delivery revenue growth in the year • Continuation of high margin business with strong cost control

The Directors can confirm that they have considered broader matters when performing their duties, specifically

Specific examples include: • Review of business unit long term projections and KPI’s to ensure investment and focus continues to be paid to the right areas for the long term as well as short term prospects of the Company. • Bi-annual strategy and operating reviews with major suppliers to discuss relationship priorities going forward. • Regular engagement with employees through regular business town halls and detailed discussion sessions with a smaller “Management Forum” group. • Market research discussions with customers to ascertain their priority and focus areas as these evolve and develop. • Ensuring the highest standards of business conduct are upheld through maintenance of a risk register, clear and updated HR policies and well documented objective and performance review processes.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The principal financial instruments of the company comprise bank balances, trade and other debtors and trade and other creditors. The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds for the company's operations.
In respect of bank balances, liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to settle liabilities as and when they fall due. Trade and other debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits. Trade and other creditors' liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet amounts due.
The auditors, Nyman Libson Paul LLP, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RENAISSANCE LEARNING UK LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of RENAISSANCE LEARNING UK LIMITED (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RENAISSANCE LEARNING 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 directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RENAISSANCE LEARNING UK LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
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 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 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
The following are the company's key accounting estimates and assumptions: Tangible assets Tangible assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values where appropriate. The actual lives of assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing the assets' lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Impairment of debtors The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile and historical experience. Dilapidations provision The provision recorded in the accounts for dilapidations costs is an estimated cost of repairing office premises occupied by the company to the state they were prior to the lease commencing. This provision is re-assessed on an annual basis, using factors such as unit square footage, length of the lease and the time remaining until the lease expires.
