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

Section 172
 
In the following section, the Company details the key stakeholders and summarises their interests, how the board has engaged with them and the decisions that have been made as a result of engagement.

Stakeholder
Introduction
Engagement
Outcome
Employees
The Company believes that employees want to work in a positive, safe environment where they are respected and valued with opportunities to learn and reach their full potential.  The Company sees employees as a fundamental asset of the business.
The Company has engaged with employees using regular communications such as online platforms, face to face site visits and local meetings.  
As standard there are regular surveys as well as frequent consultations with trade unions. There is also a whistleblowing service that employees are encouraged to use if they have any concerns.
It is clear employees are appreciative of the accessibility to Board members and the creation of an environment where employees are listened to and can contribute to the business. The Company will continue to improve employee engagement and conduct regular surveys to assess the general feeling of the workforce.  
Unions
The Company upholds the employee’s rights to freedom of association, to unionise and to be represented collectively as part of their role.  

The Company has engaged with the unions on negotiation of workplace agreements, industrial relations and occupational health and safety. 
Employees value their right to be a member of a union and the Company welcomes the workforce opinions. There has been a tremendous amount of communication with the unions in recent years as a result of joining the Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) employee services agreement, which keeps us connected to the workforce and allows us to monitor various terms and conditions. 

Customers
Customers are the main focus of the business and it is important that they receive a quality service based on trust and transparency. 

The Company has various project teams with dedicated resources in providing the customer with the best service possible and strengthening the understanding of customer needs.  The Company engages with customers using the latest technology, data and analytics whilst looking at ways to innovate and make the Company more competitive while being more efficient and cost-effective. The Company also has regular meetings on the completion of projects with the aim to improve.  
The Company continues to win major new contracts with new and existing customers which shows testament to the structure of the business and the value of effective communication and engagement.  The Company invests a tremendous amount of effort into the bid and tendering process to assess and deliver the customer’s needs utilising advances in technology and innovation to separate from competitors.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)

Suppliers
The supply chain process is imperative to any business and it is important that we communicate our expectations clearly with suppliers so as to create a smooth and efficient process and the required on-time delivery.  

The Company has a robust supply chain management process and consults closely with quality management and health and safety in order to acquire superior products and services as part of the Company’s offering. The supplier has to go through a rigorous process in order to become an approved vendor and there are various requirements to be met as well as discussions before entering into a contract.  

The Company strives to gain the best supply chain offering by retaining quality products and services whilst remaining cost effective.  The Company has continued the digitalisation project to streamline the vendor approval process and make it more efficient, with a fully paperless process in place.  

Regulatory Bodies
Executive management and employees engage with government bodies and regulators on a regular basis.  
The Company engages with various organisations regarding changes in legislation such as recent changes in tax and research and development.  The Company has developed constructive relationships with regional, national and multinational bodies to make sure we are compliant but also take advantage of any schemes to optimise the business. 

The Company works with various advisers on numerous specialist areas and values the expert consultation and advice. 
The Company is working closely with union bodies and organisations such as the ECITB to maximise opportunities for its employees. 

Communities and the Media
The Company recognises that the community and the media have a strong link to the business, branding and its products and services.

The Company is in constant communication with the media to keep the community informed and build on local trust.  The Company is committed to developing a local skillset as well as remaining aware of its Corporate Social Responsibilities on all levels.  
The Company has a commitment to employees and the community. 
Committees within the business include but are not limited to the Social Committee, the Charity Committee, the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee as well as an Environmental, Social and Governance Committee. The Company partners with national and local charities in order to give back to the community. The Company also allows employees to spend two days of their working year volunteering for charities of their choosing.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Modern Slavery Act

The Company is committed to and meets the objectives of the Modern Slavery Act.

As part of the Bilfinger Group, we operate under strict Compliance regulations with a Code of Conduct that sets out the general standards that everyone must meet in terms of compliance and ethical conduct, and lays out the general principles that we must adhere to in everything we do and determines regarding important aspects of our business dealings. 

Our Code of Conduct is underpinned by an Integrity Guideline, Competition Guideline and Third Party Guideline, all of which ensure that we adhere to fair employment, ethical behaviour and forbids illegal employment, and ensures our supply chain are audited and checked to comply with our standards.

This means we operate with transparency, responsibility, security and integrity in dealing with business partners and colleagues. Bilfinger expects all of its employees to put this corporate philosophy into practice on their own. Executives, who lead by example, have been given particular responsibilities in this regard, but all our employees are supported and trained in compliance.

Bilfinger has enacted compliance regulations that apply throughout the Group. The “Compliance” e-learning training program conveys these values in an interactive, online format.

Bilfinger Group companies will not be in business contact with customers and suppliers that are listed on sanction lists.

The Group has a clear Whistleblowing Policy and actively encourages the reporting and exposure of unethical behaviour through a confidential reporting line, and all matters raised are thoroughly investigated and appropriate action is taken in accordance with the Group’s compliance standards.

The Group continues to build on the approach deployed to ensure that it operates free from enforced labour, human trafficking and slavery.

Health and safety

The Company attaches great importance to the health, safety and welfare of all its employees. An experienced team of safety officers has the task of safety training and monitoring compliance with regulations.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Going concern

The Company’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development and position are set out above. 

The directors have reviewed the profit and cash flow forecasts for the period to 30 September 2027 in detail and also have prepared a five year plan, which has enabled them to conclude that the business is a going concern. The future workload is underwritten by key long term contracts related to the Hinkley Point project which is expected to continue for a number of years and the Company is also pursuing other opportunities in the UK nuclear market. As a result, the Company is expected to generate positive cashflows on its own account for the foreseeable future. The Company also participates in the Group’s centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and fellow subsidiaries.

Additional procedures have been performed as part of the going concern review by directors including additional stress testing. The current levels of secured work has been considered as an appropriate worst-case scenario when performing this stress testing, as well as the impact of a 15% fall in cash flows generated. On review of the results of this sensitivity testing, the directors expect the overall project to be both profitable and cash generative for the period to 30 September 2027.  

The directors, have considered the financial position and future prospects of the Company. In addition, the directors have made enquiries of Bilfinger SE in order to satisfy themselves that financial support would be available from this company should it be needed and a letter of financial support has been received from Bilfinger SE covering the period to 30 September 2027. The directors have considered the ability of Bilfinger SE to provide such support with no significant concerns noted. Details of banking arrangements for Bilfinger SE may be found in its own financial statements.

Based on their considerations and enquiries, the directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the  ability of the company to continue as a going concern for the period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Therefore, despite the net liabilities position of £157,000 reported at 31 December 2025 (2024: £154,000), on the basis of their assessment of the Company’s financial position and of their enquiries made of Bilfinger SE, the directors have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of these financial statements.

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)

The Company is subject to these requirements under The Companies (Directors’ Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018 to report on carbon and energy usage. 

Methodology

The emissions and energy usage are reported for the period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. Usage in buildings has been calculated based on meter readings and amounts invoiced by gas and electricity suppliers for the period. In instances where invoices are not available, the amounts have been estimated on the basis of usage demonstrated in the invoices available. The Company operates some properties where energy usage is managed and paid by the landlord; where a sub-metering arrangement exists, this usage is included in-line with relevant meter readings. Where no sub-metering arrangement is in place, this usage has been estimated on the basis of the size and number of people based in the property. 

The Company did not consume natural gas during the year and did not operate a vehicle fleet. Consequently, no Scope 1 emissions arose from the combustion of fuel.

Energy Efficiency Measures

The Company recognises the importance of energy efficiency measures and the need to reduce fuel consumption and energy usage. The Company has made a commitment to carbon reduction as part of the 5 year plan as they strive to contribute to a net zero environment. The Company continued to promote energy efficiency through the efficient use of office facilities, improvements to lighting, recycling initiatives, the replacement of single-use items and ongoing employee awareness activities.

The WeSustain tool itself is being improved continuously to maintain data easily and provide more accurate reporting across the relevant scopes and is monitored closely by the Group as a whole. 

Risk management

The Company is required to adhere to the group policy on risk management.  This serves to identify and specifically manage relevant strategic, operational and financial risks as well as compliance risks.  These are managed locally through the Group-wide risk management system (RMS) where risks are identified, monitored and managed.  Various committees and roles across the organisation mitigate such risks and the Group also conducts monthly and annual internal audits on internal controls within the business.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' report 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 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 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 of the profit or loss of the Company 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;

∙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 directors are 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 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 hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BILFINGER PIPING TECHNOLOGIES UK LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Bilfinger Piping Technologies 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 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’ (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 result 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 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.

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 10, 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 BILFINGER PIPING TECHNOLOGIES UK LIMITED (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:

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006 and Taxation legislation.

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities including fraud to be:
 
∙Management override of controls to manipulate the company’s key performance indicators to meet targets
∙Timing and completeness of revenue recognition
∙Management judgement applied in calculating provisions
∙Compliance with relevant laws and regulations which directly impact the financial statements and those that the company needs to comply with for the purpose of trading

Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included:
 
∙Testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness
∙Evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business
∙Reviewing judgments made by management in their calculation of accounting estimates for potential management bias
∙Enquiries of management about litigation and claims and inspection of relevant correspondence
∙Reviewing legal and professional fees to identify indications of actual or potential litigation, claims and any non-compliance with laws and regulations

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.  The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation.


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.

The principal accounting policies adopted by the Company are set out in note 2.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation and going concern

The Company has prepared accounts in accordance with FRS 101 for all periods presented.  The accounting policies which follow set out those policies which apply in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.1

Basis of preparation and going concern (continued)

The directors have reviewed the profit and cash flow forecasts for the period to 30 September 2026 in detail and also have prepared a five year plan, which has enabled them to conclude that the business is a going concern. The future workload is underwritten by key long term contracts related to the Hinkley Point project which is expected to continue for a number of years and the Company is also pursuing other opportunities in the UK nuclear market. As a result, the Company is expected to generate positive cashflows on its own account for the foreseeable future. The Company also participates in the Group’s centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and fellow subsidiaries.

Additional procedures have been performed as part of the going concern review by directors including additional stress testing. The current levels of secured work has been considered as an appropriate worst-case scenario when performing this stress testing, as well as the impact of a 15% fall in cash flows generated. On review of the results of this sensitivity testing, the directors expect the project to be both profitable and cash generative for period to 30 September 2027. 


The directors, have considered the financial position and future prospects of the Company. In addition, the directors have made enquiries of Bilfinger SE in order to satisfy themselves that financial support would be available from this company should it be needed and a letter of financial support has been received from Bilfinger SE covering the period to 30 September 2027. The directors have considered the ability of Bilfinger SE to provide such support with no significant concerns noted. Details of banking arrangements for Bilfinger SE may be found in its own financial statements.

Based on their considerations and enquiries, the directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the  ability of the company to continue as a going concern for the period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Therefore, despite the net liabilities position of £157,000 reported at 31 December 2025 (2024: £154,000), on the basis of their assessment of the Company’s financial position and of their enquiries made of Bilfinger SE, the directors have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of these financial statements.

  
2.2

Revenue recognition of construction contracts

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with IFRS 15. This requires judgement to determine accurate estimates of the extent of progress towards contract completion and may involve estimates of the total contract costs, remaining costs to completion, total revenues, contract risks and other judgements.

  
2.3

Foreign currency translation

The company’s financial statements are presented in sterling, which is also the company’s functional currency.

  
2.4

Provision for liabilities

A provision is recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.5

Trade and other receivables

Trade debtors, which generally have 30-60 day terms, are recognised and carried at the lower of their original invoiced value and recoverable amount. Provision for impairment is made through profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover balances in full. Balances are written off when the probability of recovery is assessed as being remote.

  
2.6

Contract assets

Where turnover, on a contract by contract basis, exceeds amounts invoiced or where goods or services are transferred to the customer before the customer pays consideration (or before payment is due), the excess is classified as amounts recoverable on contracts and included in debtors (contract asset).

Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment.

  
2.7

Impairment

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating Expected Credit Losses (ECLs). 

Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

  
2.8

Cash and bank in hand

Cash and short term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

  
2.9

Income taxes

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that the utilisation of the asset is probable.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related asset is realised or liability is settled, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

  
2.10

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised in accordance with IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts. Claims on customers are claims made for work outside of contractual terms and, as such, are only recognised in revenue once accepted by the customer.

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

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.11

Construction contracts

The Company’s revenue streams are not considered particularly complex in nature. IFRS 15 requires the identification of separate performance obligations within the contract. For those multi-disciplinary construction contracts, under IFRS 15, revenue must be recognised separately for each performance obligation identified. The nature of the multi-disciplinary construction contracts is such that a work carried out means that each discipline provided is highly interdependent upon the others and, as a result, could be classed as one performance obligation, therefore there has been no material impact on the recognition of IFRS 15.


3.


Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.


4.


Turnover

All turnover and profits before taxation are derived from the principal activities of the Company and arose from trading in the United Kingdom.
