Strategic Report
for the year ended 31 January 2026
The directors present their Strategic Report and the audited financial statements of Reed & Mackay Travel
Limited (“the Company”) for the year ended 31 January 2026.
Principal activities
The Company is engaged in the booking & ticketing of flights, hotels & ancillary services for business travel,
as well as the arrangement of corporate meetings & events in the UK and throughout the world.
Business review
This is the first year the Company has prepared its financial statements in accordance with FRS 101.
Accordingly, financial information at 1 February 2024 (being the date of transition) and for the year ended 31
January 2025 have been restated to comply with FRS 101. The impact of the transition to FRS 101 is
detailed within Note 25.
This year represented the start of a multi-year period of transition and transformation for the Company and
its stakeholders. On 30 October 2025, the Company’s ultimate parent company Navan Inc completed its
initial public offering on the Nasdaq stock exchange. On 29 January 2026, Navan Inc announced the
intention to transition the Company’s customers to the Navan platform. As a result of this transition, the
Company’s renowned client-led service offering will become the foundation for a new premium offering under
the Navan brand, all the while ensuring customers continue to receive the white-glove service they value.
Over the course of the year, the Company maintained its delivery of high-quality service to its customers,
whilst investment and integration activities have ramped during the final months of the financial year.
The key performance indicators of the Company are as follows:

Revenue has remained broadly in line year on year.
Operating profit has decreased by 36% which is driven by the investment in the Company’s activities as it
begins a multi-year period of transformation to transition its clients on to the Navan platform. Therefore,
additional costs have been incurred in relation to the reorganisation required to optimise the Company’s
structure and the employee-base to support the long-term success of the Company and deliver to customers
a fully integrated solution of best-in-class service and technology.
Profit after tax has decreased by 84% due to the decrease in operating profit as noted above and the 2026
deferred tax charge (2025 deferred tax credit) on share-based payments. 
Net Assets has decreased by 12% due to dividends paid in the period and a reduction in deferred tax assets.
Average number of employees has increased by 3% primarily due to investments in the Company’s client-
facing teams to ensure we continue to provide high-quality services to our customers whilst having sufficient
headcount to enable the business to further integrate the Company with the operations of its ultimate parent
company Navan Inc.

Reed & Mackay Travel Limited
Strategic Report (continued)
for the year ended 31 January 2026
Future developments
The Company’s ongoing focus is on integration activities to migrate the customer base to the Navan platform
whilst continuing to maintain our high-standards of service.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Company’s risk management framework includes a process for identifying, assessing and responding to
risk and supporting the Company’s strategy and business objectives.
Risk management operates at all levels throughout the business. However, the directors take overall
responsibility, determining the nature and extent of principal risks it is willing to take to achieve the
Company’s strategic objectives, and maintaining the Company’s risk governance structure and appropriate
internal control framework.
The principal risks faced by the Company are as follows:
Credit risk
The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. Credit risk is managed by the
Company's Credit Policy which includes management’s review of aged debt on a monthly basis; running
credit checks on new clients;  tracking credit scores on existing clients, setting and reviewing credit limits and
terms on clients; encouraging clients to make payments via credit cards or direct debit and by monitoring
payments against contractual agreements. No long-term commitments are made without funds being
received from clients.
Supplier risk
The Company has various contractual arrangements in place with a number of third-party travel suppliers
including airlines, hotels,  global distribution system providers and rail travel providers. Adverse changes to
these key supplier arrangements could impact the Company’s operations and future financial results. The
Company mitigates this risk by maintaining a broad supplier base with a focus on maintaining strong
relationships with all suppliers and identifying any new potential suppliers through a robust procurement
process.
Cash flow risk
The directors monitor cash flow as part of its day to day control procedures to ensure the Company can meet
its obligations and to support its investment plans to drive long-term growth. The directors review short and
long-term forecasts on a monthly basis to ensure appropriate facilities are available. At year-end, the
Company had a strong cash balance of £33,274,000 (2025: £20,411,000).
Foreign exchange risk
Exposure to foreign exchange movements are monitored on a month by month basis. To mitigate foreign
exchange risk the Company focuses on receiving and making payments in local currencies where possible.
Travel industry disruption
The Company's financial performance is reliant on the strength of both domestic and international travel
industries. Unpredictable force majeures such as wars, pandemics and natural disasters can have highly
adverse effects on the global travel industry and can rarely be mitigated. Disruption can also arise from
economic conditions, such as recessions, and political environments which can result in varying levels of
decrease in demand or additional operational costs across the industry. To increase the Company’s
resilience against global  travel industry disruption, the Company offers a diverse range of services with a
wide portfolio of customers.

Strategic Report (continued)
for the year ended 31 January 2026
Section 172(1) Statement
Section 172(1) of the Companies Act 2006 requires the directors to act in a way they consider would most
likely promote the success of the Company for the benefit of our members as a whole. When making
decisions, the directors are required to have regard to the interests of the Company's employees, clients,
suppliers and other stakeholders including the impact of the Company's activities on the community and
environment. The directors should also consider the likely impact of such decisions on maintaining high
standards of business conduct and the likely consequences in the long-term.
Decision-making at the Board
The Board consists of experienced directors who bring considerable expertise and perspective to the
decision-making process. The responsibilities of the Board are set out in the Company’s Articles of
Association. The Board meets on a regular basis and all matters in which the Board is required to reach a
decision are presented at Board meetings. Supporting papers setting out to the directors the relevant key
facts are also provided. The papers also describe any potential short-term and long-term impacts and risks
for the Company, its clients, employees, shareholders and other stakeholders including suppliers, the
community and environment, and how these are to be managed.
Employees
The directors consider its employees to be a primary stakeholder in the business and strives to retain and
motivate all employees as well as attracting high quality new talent. The culture is to be supportive and
actively recognise efforts, ensuring employees feel they are making an impact doing fulfilling work, as well as
encouraging people to grow and develop. The Company has a strong focus on employee engagement and
HR strategy and continues to enhance a workplace that employees enjoy being a part of. The wellbeing of
employees is very important, and integrating work and family life, as well as taking care of oneself and giving
back to the community are all encouraged.
Diversity and equal opportunity are of great importance at Reed & Mackay and we believe it’s the only way
to ensure everyone can reach their full potential. We are proud of our inclusive culture and the part it plays in
attracting and retaining a talented workforce with real passion for delivering extraordinary service.
Clients
Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. Our desire for service is matched only by our dedication to
value. Our travel experts search harder, explore further and think smarter to deliver our clients the best
possible solution. As discussed in further detail in Future Developments on page 3, the Company has
announced plans to combine the talents of our consultants with the market leading technology of Navan to
ensure we continue to best serve our clients going forward. 
Suppliers
The Company is committed to responsible procurement and prioritises fair and transparent dealings, timely
payments and open communication with all suppliers.
Environment
We recognise that business travel has an impact on the environment. As a result, we are fully committed to
minimising this impact along with our clients. Certified to ISO 14001, the international environmental
accreditation, we work hard to reduce the carbon footprint of our business and that of our clients’ travel
programmes. The Company continues to prioritise sustainability in all activities and processes.
High standards of business conduct
The Board set out to behave in a responsible manner, operating with the highest standards of business
conduct and good governance. This is epitomised in the certifications achieved for ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO

situations arise.
We work closely and collaboratively with our service providers, including airlines, hotels and transport
services, and other suppliers, including our technology partners, developing a partnership approach to foster
sound commercial relationships that ultimately benefit our clients.

statements.

expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue to meet its obligations as they fall due for
the foreseeable future being a period of at least twelve months from signing of these financial statements.
Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance
with applicable law and regulation.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law
the directors have prepared the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 101 “Reduced Disclosure
Framework”, and applicable law).
Under company law, 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 the financial statements, the directors are required to:
• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
• state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 101 have been
followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
• make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
• 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 safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable
steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are also 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 enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act
2006.

Reed & Mackay Travel Limited
Independent auditors' report to the members of Reed &
Mackay Travel Limited
for the year ended 31 January 2026
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
In our opinion, Reed & Mackay Travel Limited’s financial statements:
• give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs as at 31 January 2026 and of its profit
for the year then ended;
• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 101 "Reduced Disclosure
Framework", and applicable law); and
• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
We have audited the financial statements, included within the Annual Report and financial statements (the
"Annual Report"), which comprise:
• the Balance Sheet as at 31 January 2026;
• the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended;
• the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year then ended; and
• the notes to the financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other
explanatory information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) ("ISAs (UK)") and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under ISAs (UK) are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for
the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We remained independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to
our audit of the financial statements in the UK, which includes the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Conclusions relating to going concern
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.
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.
However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this conclusion is not a guarantee as
to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in
the relevant sections of this report.

Report on the audit of the financial statements (continued)
Reporting on other information
The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report other than the financial
statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our
opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express
an audit opinion or, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, any form of assurance
thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we
identify an apparent material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required to perform procedures
to conclude whether there is a material misstatement of the financial statements or a material misstatement
of the other information. 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 based
on these responsibilities.
With respect to the Strategic Report and Directors' Report, we also considered whether the disclosures
required by the Companies Act 2006 have been included.
Based on our work undertaken in the course of the audit, the Companies Act 2006 requires us also to report
certain opinions and matters as described below.
Strategic Report and Directors' Report
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, the information given in the Strategic
Report and Directors' Report for the year ended 31 January 2026 is consistent with the financial statements
and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of
the audit, we did not identify any material misstatements in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report.
Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Statement of directors’ responsibilities in respect of the financial statements,
the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable
framework and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. The directors are also responsible for
such internal control as they 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.
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,

Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit (continued)
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
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.
Based on our understanding of the Company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-
compliance with laws and regulations related to those imposed by the travel industry regulators and
employment laws, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on
the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the
financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and UK Tax legislation. We evaluated management’s
incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of
override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal
entries in the underlying books and records and management bias including in estimates. Audit procedures
performed by the engagement team included:
• Discussions with management and internal legal counsel, including consideration of known or
suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and whether there was any alleged,
suspected or actual fraud;
• Review of the disclosures in the Annual Report and financial statements against specific legal
requirements and assessing the compliance of disclosures against relevant legislation;
• Review of minutes of board meetings during the year;
• Identifying and testing journal entries and other adjustments, in particular any journal entries posted
with unusual account combinations; and
• Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their accounting estimates and
judgements.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware
of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and
transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due
to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate
concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s
website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors’ report.
Use of this report
This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the Company's members as a body in
accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose. We do not, in
giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom
this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in
writing.

Reed & Mackay Travel Limited
Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 January 2026
1.  Basis of preparation
Reed & Mackay Travel Limited (“the Company”) is a private limited company, limited by shares, domiciled
and incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 25 Farringdon Street, London
EC4A 4AF. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for
certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value and in accordance with Financial Reporting
Standard 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework" ("FRS 101") and in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
These are the Company’s first financial statements prepared in accordance with FRS 101. For periods up to
and including the year ended 31 January 2025, the Company prepared its financial statements in
accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK
and Republic of Ireland (“FRS 102”).
Accordingly, financial information at 1 February 2024 (being the date of transition) and for the year ended 31
January 2025 have been restated to comply with FRS 101. FRS 102 differs in certain respects from FRS
101, hence when preparing the financial statements, management has amended certain accounting and
measurement bases to comply with FRS 101. The disclosure required by IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of
International Finance Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)’ concerning the transition is detailed in Note 25.
IFRS 1 permits the Company to take advantage of certain exemptions from applying the requirements on a
fully retrospective basis at the date of transition in certain circumstances.
Disclosure exemptions applied
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial
statements as permitted by FRS 101:
i) The requirements of IFRS 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ paragraphs 45(b) and 46 to 52 relating to
certain disclosure requirements on share-based payments;
ii) The requirement of IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures’ relating to the disclosure of financial
instruments and the nature and extent of risks arising from such instruments;
iii) The requirements of the second sentence of paragraph 110 and paragraphs 113(a), 114, 115, 118,
119(a) to (c), 120 to 127 and 129 of IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’;
iv) The requirements of paragraph 52, the second sentence of paragraph 89, and paragraphs 90, 91
and 93 of IFRS 16 ‘Leases’;
v) The applicable requirements of IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ relating to the
disclosure of comparative information in respect of the number of shares outstanding at the
beginning and end of the year (IAS 1.79(a)(iv)), the reconciliation of the carrying amount of property,
plant and equipment (IAS 16.73(e)) and the reconciliation of the carrying amount of intangible assets
(IAS 38(118)(e));
vi) The requirements of IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements’ paragraph 16 and IFRS 1 ‘First-
time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards’ paragraph 3, the requirement to make
an explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with IFRS;
vii) The requirements of IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ paragraphs 38A to 40D relating to
disclosures of comparative information;
viii) The requirement of IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ paragraphs 134 to 136 relating to

paragraphs 30 and 31 relating to the disclosure of standards, amendments and interpretations in
issue but not yet effective;

Reed & Mackay Travel Limited
Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 January 2026
1.  Basis of preparation (continued)
Disclosure exemptions applied (continued)
xi) The requirements of IAS 24 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ paragraph 17 relating to the disclosure of
key management personnel compensation and relating to the disclosure of related party transactions
entered into between the Company and other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the group; and
xii) The requirements of IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’ paragraphs 130(f)(ii), 130(f)(iii), 134(d) to 134(f)
and 135(c) to 135(e) relating to certain disclosure requirements of impairment testing.
For the disclosure exemptions listed in points i) to ii), ix) and xii), the equivalent disclosures are included in
the consolidated financial statements of the immediate parent company Reed & Mackay Holdings Limited.
Consolidated financial statements
The Company is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements under s400 of
the Companies Act 2006. Consolidated financial statements are prepared by Reed & Mackay Holdings
Limited, the immediate parent undertaking, incorporated in England & Wales and are available from
Companies House. Therefore, these financial statements present information about the Company as an
individual undertaking and not about its group.
Going concern
The directors have prepared detailed financial forecasts which take into account the expected future trading
performance of the Company and reasonable possible reductions in this expected performance. These
demonstrate that the Company will be able to operate within the level of its available resources and will have
sufficient funds to ensure it can meet its financial liabilities as they fall due.
The Company has a joint revolving credit facility with its ultimate parent company Navan Inc and under this
arrangement certain assets of the Company have been pledged. Given the joint nature of this arrangement,
the Company has received a letter of support from Navan Inc confirming its support to the Company and its
obligations under this joint arrangement for a period of at least twelve months from signing of these financial
statements.
After making enquiries and taking into account the above factors, the directors have a reasonable
expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue to meet its obligations as they fall due for
the foreseeable future being a period of at least twelve months from signing of these financial statements.
Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
2.  Material accounting policies
Revenue
The Company’s revenue streams involve the provision of business travel services and the provision of
corporate meetings and events for its customers.
To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Company follows the five-step process detailed within IFRS
15. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when the Company satisfies a performance
obligation for a contracted service.
Performance obligations can be satisfied in a variety of ways upon successful completion of specific
obligation or as services are rendered. Revenue recognised is the value allocated to the satisfied
performance obligation over time or at a point in time excluding discounts, rebates, VAT and other sales
taxes.
19
Reed & Mackay Travel Limited
Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 January 2026
2.  Material accounting policies (continued)
Revenue (continued)
The Company recognises revenue as follows:
• Transaction fees are charged to customers for selling and arranging travel and for travel
management services. The performance obligation is satisfied at the date the ticket is issued.
• Management fees are charged to customers for selling and arranging travel and for travel
management services. The performance obligation is satisfied over time as the customer
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the service with no alternative use and for
which the Company is entitled to payment for the work performed to date.
• Commissions and fees are paid by customers and suppliers on tickets issues, sales and other
services based on contractual arrangements. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in
time which is at the time of booking for flight or rail bookings and at the check in date or collection
date of the vehicle for hotel and car rental bookings.
• Variable commissions and fees are paid by the Company’s suppliers which are determined by
meeting volume targets detailed within the contractual arrangement. The performance obligation is
satisfied over time and is recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal
in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with
the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
• Meeting and events income is derived from customers for the arrangement and management of
events and associated travel bookings based on contractual arrangements on an agent basis. The
performance obligation is typically at a point in time upon successful completion of the event.
However, for a small number of events whereby a significant portion of the arrangement and
management of the event has been provided to the customer prior to the successful completion of
the event, and where the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the work performed to
date, the performance obligation is satisfied over time. This is based on the actual services provided
to the end of the reporting period relative to the total service to be provided. This is generally
assessed by reference to actual inputs of time and expenses as a proportion of the total expected
inputs.
If the Company satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, this is reported either
as trade receivables or a contract asset in the Balance Sheet. The Company recognises a contract asset
where something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due in all other
cases.
If the Company has received consideration in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations, the Company
recognises a contract liability.
Where the Company acts as agent rather than principal, revenue is recognised net of the pass-through costs
to customers, which means that revenue recognised is comprised solely of fees or commissions.
Foreign currency
Functional and presentational currency
The Company’s functional and presentational currency is Pound Sterling.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at
the dates of the transactions.

Reed & Mackay Travel Limited
Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 January 2026
2.  Material accounting policies (continued)
Foreign currency (continued)
Transactions and balances (continued)
At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss arising from a change in
exchange rate subsequent to the date of the transaction is reported as an exchange gain or loss in the profit
or loss.
Employee benefits
Short-term benefits including holiday pay and annual bonuses are accrued as services are rendered.
Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are charged to profit or loss as they become payable
in accordance with the rules of the scheme. Differences between contributions payable in the year and those
actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet.
Share-based payments
The Company’s ultimate parent company, Navan Inc, operates group share award schemes under which
certain employees of the Company are awarded equity-settled share awards or restricted stock units
(“RSUs”). Additionally, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows eligible employees to contribute
a portion of their salaries via payroll deductions up to an agreed maximum amount set by the ultimate parent
company which will be used to purchase common stock at a discount to the market price per share. The
Company has no obligation to settle the awards.
Where share awards are awarded to employees, the fair value of the awards at the date of the 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 awards that eventually
vest.
Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the awards 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 ultimate
parent company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the
scheme).
Where the terms and conditions of awards are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the
awards, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the
remaining vesting period.
Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, retained earnings is charged with
the fair value of goods and services received.
Finance income
Finance income is recognised in the profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to the profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate
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.

for the year ended 31 January 2026
2.  Material accounting policies (continued)
Current and deferred taxation
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit or loss,
except that a charge attributable to an item of income or 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 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 generate
taxable 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 reporting date.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the Company’s
share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on
acquisitions of businesses is included in Intangible assets. Gains and losses on the disposal of a business
include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the business sold.
Goodwill is treated as having an indefinite life and is therefore not amortised but is reviewed for impairment
at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s cash-
generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Company has a single cash-
generating unit and it is not possible to divide the business into smaller assets that generate independent
cash flows.
The cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more
frequently, when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce
the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on
the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment recognised for goodwill is not
reversed in a subsequent period.
Other intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less
any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is provided at the following basis using the straight-line method:
Customer relationships
-
3 - 10 years
Third-party software and software development
-
3 years

2.  Material accounting policies (continued)
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment 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.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated
useful lives.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis using the straight-line method:
Leasehold improvements
-
5 years
Fixtures and fittings
-
4 years
IT equipment
-
3 years
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively
if appropriate, 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 within ‘other operating income or losses' in profit or loss.
Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on
whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. The Company recognises a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease
commencement date except for short term leases with a lease term of 12 months or less or leases of low
value assets. For these leases, the Company recognises the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-
line basis over the term of the lease.
The right of use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any
lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any
lease incentives received. Subsequently, the asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses. The asset is depreciated over the term of the lease using the straight-line method.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. Any
impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily
determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. Lease
payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities comprise fixed payments less any lease incentives
receivable and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate as at the commencement date.
Subsequently, the lease liability is measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest expensed
using the effective interest method and reducing the carrying amount for lease payments made. Lease
modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Company's balance sheet when the Company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are
initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of
financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through

Financial instruments (continued)
profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as
appropriate, on initial recognition. Initial recognition of trade receivables is at their transaction price if the
trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component.
Financial assets
Classification
All financial assets are held at amortised cost in line with the Company’s business model to hold to collect
contractual cash flows and whose contractual terms give rise to cash flows on specified dates that represent
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts. The Company has not designated any
assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for all
financial assets held at amortised cost. At initial recognition, the Company records loss allowances at an
amount equal to 12-month ECL. If there is evidence of a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition, the allowance is increased to record the lifetime. When determining whether credit risk has
increased significantly, the Company considers reasonable and supportive information that is relevant and
available without undue cost or effort.
Trade receivables and contract assets are short-term in nature and do not contain significant financing
components. The Company has applied a practical expedient by using a provision matrix based on the
ageing and actual credit loss experience to calculate lifetime ECL. This has been adjusted for factors specific
to the underlying client, general economic conditions and forward-looking estimates.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are held at amortised cost.
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently
measured at amortised cost.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the Balance Sheet when the
Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously.
Provisions for liabilities
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the company a legal or constructive
obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefits, and a reliable estimate can
be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the company become aware of the
obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the reporting date of the expenditure required to settle
the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the balance sheet.

2.  Material accounting policies (continued)
Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised
when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general
meeting.
3.  Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting judgements and
estimates regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The judgements and estimates that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities of the Company are outlined below.
Recognition of software development costs as intangible assets
Software development costs are capitalised as intangible assets when the Company determines that the
corresponding enhancements to the booking platform meet the required criteria for capitalisation at each
stage of development. The Company makes an assessment to reliably determine the software development
costs which are capitalised in the year, including relevant employee costs. This is subject to an element of
judgement, in particular determining which projects meet the capitalisation criteria and estimation of the
relevant employee costs to capitalise based on the proportion of time each employee contributed to the
projects in the year. Any variation in these judgements could result in a material difference to the recorded
value of the capitalised software development costs as intangible assets. The total expense capitalised as
software development intangible assets during the year ended 31 January 2026 is £2,082,000 (2025:
£2,513,000).
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Share-based payments
In determining the fair value of equity-settled share-based payments, the ultimate parent company makes
assumptions about future events and market conditions. In particular, the ultimate parent company has to
assess the likely number of shares that will vest and the fair value of each award granted by the ultimate
parent company. The fair value is determined by an independent expert using a valuation model which is
dependent on a number of assumptions including future volatility in the share price of the ultimate parent
company’s shares. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and could result in a material difference to
the recorded value of the share-based payment charge. The total expense recognised for share-based
payments in respect of employee services rendered during the year ended 31 January 2026 is £5,030,000
(2025 (restated): £6,884,000).
Recognition of variable commissions and fees
Variable commissions and fees paid by the Company’s suppliers are determined by meeting contractual
volume targets. At year-end, the Company makes an assessment to reliably estimate the revenue by taking
into account evidence including past experience, year to date supplier confirmations of transaction volumes
and post year-end confirmation of transaction volumes. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and
could result in a material difference to the reported value of variable commissions and fees.
4.  Revenue
Revenue is wholly attributable to the principal activity of the Company and arises solely within the United
Kingdom from the rendering of services.

One of the directors is also a director of fellow subsidiaries of the ultimate parent company and were directly
remunerated for services provided by the ultimate parent company. The directors do not believe it is
practicable to allocate their total remuneration between their services as directors of the Company and their
remuneration as directors of the fellow subsidiary companies. Therefore, the below represents amounts paid
to directors directly remunerated by the Company.

Future cash outflows in periods after the date on which an extension option or termination option may be

At the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts of lease liabilities are not reduced by the amount of
payments that would be avoided from exercising break clauses because it was considered reasonably
certain that the Company would not exercise its right to exercise any right to break the lease. Total lease
payments of £Nil (2025 (restated): £Nil) are potentially avoidable were the group to exercise break clauses at

On 14 March 2025, the Company entered into a joint asset-backed revolving credit facility (“ABL facility”) with
its ultimate parent company Navan Inc. The facility has a combined borrowing limit of $100,000,000, incurs
interest at SOFR plus 2.5% and matures in March 2028. The facility available for drawdown by the Company
is based on eligible trade receivables. The Company and its ultimate parent company have the right to
34
Reed & Mackay Travel Limited
Notes to the financial statements

18.  Bank borrowings (continued)
voluntarily prepay down at any time the facility in full. All cashflows related to the ABL facility including
drawdowns and prepayments of borrowed funds, interest payments and associated costs are covered by the
ultimate parent company. Therefore, ordinarily no expense related to the ABL facility will be reflected in the
Company’s Statement of Comprehensive Income
However, during the first year of the ABL facility, the Company is required to report within its financial
statements the associated interest expense and the facility drawn at the end of the reporting period based on
the Company’s share of eligible trade receivables. Given all cashflows related to the ABL facility are covered
by the ultimate parent company, the on lending of the Company’s share of the borrowings is recognised
within Loans owed by parent undertakings in Trade and other receivables as detailed in Note 16. This loan
facility is unsecured, incurs interest at SOFR plus 3.5% and matures on the first anniversary of the ABL
facility.
At 31 January 2026, the Company had no funds drawn from this facility (2025: £Nil).

On 29 January 2026, the ultimate parent company Navan Inc announced the transition of the Company’s
customers to the Navan platform under the Navan brand. A reorganisation provision has been recognised in
relation to restructuring activities including severance costs that will be payable to former staff whose roles
will be eliminated as part of this integration.
Upon the UK leaving the EU, there is uncertainty around the scope of products and services that fall within
the scope of the TOMS (”Tour Operating Margin Scheme”) travel service scheme. A provision has been
made based on the products and services that are considered to potentially fall within this framework.
Dilapidations relate to the expected cost of reinstating the offices back to its original condition at the end of
the relevant lease terms. This provision is the best estimate of these expected future costs.

Navan Inc 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (continued)
The share awards are conditional upon continued employment typically over the vesting period with one-
quarter of the share awards vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining three-
quarters of the share awards vesting evenly over the remaining three-year period to the fourth anniversary of
the grant date.
The RSUs are conditional upon continued employment typically over the vesting period with one quarter of
the RSUs vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining three quarters of the RSUs
vesting evenly over the remaining three year period to the first anniversary of the grant date. Additionally, the
RSUs were only exercisable on an exit event. This condition was satisfied upon the initial public offering
(“IPO”) of the ultimate parent company on 30 October 2025.
Navan Inc 2025 Equity Incentive Plan
The Company’s ultimate parent company, Navan Inc, operates a group share awards scheme (known as the
2025 Equity Incentive Plan) under which certain employees of the Company are awarded restricted stock
awards (“RSUs”). The Company has no obligation to settle the awards.
The RSUs are conditional upon continued employment over the typical vesting period with one quarter of the
RSUs vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining three quarters of the RSUs vesting
evenly over the remaining three year period to the first anniversary of the grant date.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s ultimate parent company, Navan Inc, operates a group scheme (known as the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)) under which eligible employees are able to contribute a portion of their
salaries via payroll deductions up to an agreed maximum amount set by the ultimate parent company which
will be used to purchase common stock at a discount to the market price per share.
Assumptions
The fair value of the equity-settled share options and ESPP granted is estimated at the grant date using the
Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the awards were granted.
The fair value of the equity-settled RSUs granted pre-IPO was estimated at the grant date using an
independent expert. Post-IPO, the fair value of RSUs granted is determined using the using the closing price
of Navan Inc’s common stock at the grant date.

Recognition of Right of use assets and lease liabilities
Under FRS 102, a lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. Operating lease payments are
recognised within Administrative expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line
basis over the lease term. Under IFRS 16 Leases, a lessee applies a single recognition and measurement

25.  First time adoption of FRS 101 (continued)
Recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities
approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets and recognises Lease
Liabilities to make lease payments and Right of use assets representing the right to use the underlying
assets.
At the date of the transition to FRS 101, the Company identified lease liabilities relating to its UK offices and
recalculated the lease liabilities at the lease inception date by measuring the present value of all of the lease
payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The discounted liabilities, the amount
remaining as of the start of the conversion period, were recognised accordingly. Right of use assets were
measured at the amount equal to the lease liabilities adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease
payments.
As a result at 31 January 2025, the Company recognised Lease Liabilities of £4,151,000 (1 February 2024:
£4,888,000) and Right of use assets of £3,564,000 (1 February 2024: £4,507,000). The difference between
lease liabilities and right of use assets has been recognised in Retained Earnings.
Upon recognition of the Right of use assets and Lease liabilities, balances previously recognised in
Prepayments and Accruals had to be reversed. At 31 January 2025, the Company reversed £548,000 (1
February 2024: £544,000) of Accruals and £162,000 (1 February 2024: £3,000) of Prepayments at transition
to FRS 101.
Additionally, rent expense decreased by £940,000, depreciation of right of use assets increased by £988,000
(both included in Administrative expenses) and Interest on lease liabilities increased by £315,000 for the year
ended 31 January 2025.
Reduction in dilapidations provisions recognised at 1 February 2024
The Company has elected to apply the transition exemption in IFRS 1 and has applied hindsight when
adopting IFRS 16 at the date of transition and considering the recognition of dilapidation provisions
associated with its leases.
At the date of transition, the Company identified dilapidation provisions associated with certain leases that
expired during the year ended 31 January 2025. The actual dilapidations paid on vacation of these leases 
was £147,000 lower than the provision held on the Balance Sheet and therefore was recognised as a credit
within Administrative expenses during the year ended 31 January 2025.
As the Company has elected to apply the transition exemption, the dilapidations provisions for these leases
have been reduced by £147,000 at the date of transition. Subsequently, the £147,000 previously recognised
under FRS 102 has been reversed from administrative expenses for the year ended 31 January 2025.
Recognition of goodwill arising on historical business combinations
Under FRS 102, goodwill arising on business combinations is deemed to have a finite useful life and
therefore is subject to amortisation on a straight-line basis. Under IAS 38, goodwill is treated as having an
indefinite life and is therefore not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually.
At the end date of transition to FRS 101, the Company identified goodwill arising on historic business
combinations. The Company has elected to apply the transition exemption in IFRS 1 to not apply IFRS 3 to
any business combinations prior to the date of transition. Therefore, the Company has deemed the cost of
goodwill to be the net carrying value at the 1 February 2024 of £1,489,000.
As a result at 31 January 2025, the Company reversed the amortisation charge of £270,000 which had been
recognised in Administrative expenses.
Furthermore, the directors have performed an impairment review at 1 February 2024 and 31 January 2025
and have not recognised an impairment charge.

25.  First time adoption of FRS 101 (continued)
Recognition of share-based payments expense
Under FRS 102, the expense for share-based payments for awards subject to graded vesting was
recognised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Under IFRS 2, each tranche of a graded vesting
award is treated as a separate grant with the fair value calculated and expensed over the specific vesting
period of that individual tranche. This results in an accelerated recognition of the share-based payment
expense, front-loading the expense into the earlier years of the award.
At the date of transition to FRS 101, there is no impact on the reported net assets of the Company.
For the year ended 31 January 2025, the Company has recognised an additional expense of £1,858,000 of
which £550,000 has been recognised in Cost of Sales and £1,308,000 has been recognised in
Administrative expenses with an equal and opposite adjustment to Retained earnings.
Recognition of deferred taxation
Under FRS 102, deferred tax was recognised on timing differences using the income statement approach.
Under FRS 101 (IAS 12), deferred tax is recognised using a balance sheet liability method on temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
amounts used for taxation purposes.
Specific transition adjustments affecting deferred tax include:
Leases (IFRS 16): Recognition of temporary differences arising on Right of Use assets and Lease liabilities,
as well as the derecognition of associated lease prepayments and accruals.
Share-based payments (IFRS 2 / IAS 12): Deferred tax is measured based on the estimated future tax
deduction available at the reporting date (determined by reference to the market price / fair value of the
underlying equity instruments at the balance sheet date), rather than being limited to the cumulative
accounting charge recognised in profit or loss.
As a result of applying IAS 12 across all transition adjustments:
At 1 February 2024 deferred tax assets decreased by £77,000, reflecting the tax impact of IFRS 16 lease
adjustments. 
At 31 January 2025 total deferred tax assets increased by £3,375,000 (from £3,574,000 under FRS 102 to
£6,949,000 under FRS 101). This overall adjustment comprises £2,655,000 relating to share-based
payments, and £720,000 in respect of other timing differences.
