	CIO and CEO
		"ICG is in an exciting period of inflexion. We are seeing our focus on long-term investment performance rather than short-term asset gathering increasingly recognised by institutional clients. Over the last two years we have had seven funds close at or above their target, including most recently Europe IX at €12bn, the largest structured capital fund ever raised globally. In a year that could see the fifth consecutive year-on-year decline in private capital fundraising globally7, ICG's track record reflects the reach and power of our institutional client franchise. Our financial results reflect our growing breadth and scale. In the last twelve months we have generated £380m of FRE, and over the last five years our FRE per share has compounded at an annualised rate of 28%. We continue to invest in enhancing our client offering, and have the financial strength to do so through market cycles. We prioritise profitable organic growth and the bar to M&A remains very high. Our partnership with Amundi is complementary to our institutional focus and opens up long-term opportunities in the wealth market. Looking ahead, we have high conviction in our ability to continue gaining market share in the institutional client segment across a number of strategies. Our increasing scale and cash generation mean we expect to generate significant capital in the coming years. We will invest that capital to maximise long-term growth in FRE per share and will return excess capital to shareholders." 7 Source: Preqin as of September 2026.

USE OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The Board and management monitor the financial performance of the Group on the basis of Alternative Performance Measures (APM), which are non-UK-adopted IAS measures. The APM form the basis of the financial results discussed in the Finance review, which the Board believes assist shareholders in assessing their investment and the delivery of the Group’s strategy through its financial performance. Full details of all APM are presented in the Glossary (see page 40).

The substantive difference between APM and UK-adopted IAS is the consolidation of funds, including seeded strategies, and related entities deemed to be controlled by the Group, which are consolidated in the UK-adopted IAS financial statements. These are not consolidated in APM in which the Group’s economic exposure to the assets is reported.

Under IFRS 10, the Group is deemed to control (and therefore consolidate) entities where it can make significant decisions that can substantially affect the variable returns of investors. This has the impact of including the assets and liabilities of these entities in the consolidated statement of financial position and recognising the related income and expenses of these entities in the consolidated income statement.

The Group’s profit before tax on a UK-adopted IAS basis was below prior period at £291.2m (H1 FY26: £354.1m). On the APM basis it was also below prior period at £287.3m (H1 FY26: £351.6m).

FINANCIAL REVIEW

AUM and fundraising
Refer to the Datapack issued with this announcement for further detail on AUM.

Note: effective 30 September 2026, in order to better align to market practice, the Group updated its AUM methodology to include unrealised gains and losses on deployed assets within reported AUM ($16bn). Prior-period AUM figures have not been restated. There is no impact to fee-earning AUM as a result of this change.

At 30 September 2026 AUM stood at $145bn and fee-earning AUM at $90bn. We had $37bn of AUM available to deploy in new investments ("dry powder"), of which $18bn was not yet earning fees (FY26: $36bn and $19bn respectively).

Revenue and earnings

Management fees and fee-related earnings (FRE)
Management fees for the period totalled £373.7m (H1 FY26: £333.6m), a year-on-year increase of 12.0% (+12.4% excluding the impact of catch-up fees of £41.0m (H1 FY26: £37.7m)). On a constant currency basis management fees increased 11.9% year-on-year.

We maintained fee discipline across strategies and continued to experience a mix-shift towards higher-return strategies, resulting in an effective management fee rate on fee-earning AUM of 99bps (H1 FY26: 96bps).

FRE operating expenses totalled £175.1m, an increase of 6% compared to H1 FY26 (£165.6m). The year-on-year growth in administrative expenses was due to a number of factors including a higher proportion of hiring- and IT-related expenses being recognised in H1 FY27 compared to H1 FY26.

As a result, FRE was £198.6m / 68p per share for the six months ended 30 September 2026 (H1 FY26: £168.0m / 58p per share). This represents an 18% year-on-year growth (21% excluding catch-up fees) and a five-year CAGR of 28% (26% excluding catch-up fees).

Increased operating leverage continues to be evident in our FRE margin, which was 53.1% in the period (H1 FY26: 50.4%), or 47.4% excluding catch-up fees (H1 FY26: 44.0%).

Performance fee income

Performance fees recognised for the period totalled £23.6m (H1 FY26: £97.6m, including £72m of one-off transition impact due to the change in approach announced in October 2025). H2 FY26 recognised performance fee income of £29.4m. The recognition in this period was driven predominantly by the passage of time, along with the net impact of changes in fund valuations and inaugural recognitions for a number of funds including LP Secondaries I. Performance fee income includes £0.3m relating to fee-related performance revenue from evergreen products.

During the period the Group received in cash performance fees of £17.7m (H1 FY26: £61.5m) and at 30 September 2026 had an accrued performance fees receivable on its balance sheet of £147.9m (31 March 2026: £144.7m).

Net Balance Sheet Return
For the six months to 30 September 2026 the Net Balance Sheet Return was £93.3m1 (LTM return of 5.0%), and over the last five years has generated an average return of 8.6%. Management expects the balance sheet portfolio to generate low double-digit % annualised returns over the long term.

Other income and expenses

Other income and expenses of £3.3m, (H1 FY26: £12.0m), which is largely non-cash and predominantly due to net FX gains of £3.4m (H1 FY26: £10.2m).

1 For detail on balance sheet return by asset class see the Datapack accompanying this announcement and for the bridge from total balance sheet return to net balance sheet return see the Glossary.

Tax

The Group recognised a tax charge of £56.1m (H1 FY26: £56.7m), resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 19.5% (H1 FY26: 16.2%).

The Group has a structurally lower effective tax rate than the statutory UK rate. See note 4 for more detail.

Balance sheet and capitalisation

ICG is well capitalised with an asset base that is strategically valuable and aligns interests between shareholders and clients. The balance sheet portfolio comprises a co-investment portfolio that invests alongside our funds to align interests with clients, and seed investments that support the growth of future strategies and products.

At 30 September 2026, ICG had net financial debt of £93m¹ (FY26: £113m).

£m	31 March 2026	30 September 2026

A breakdown of the balance sheet portfolio and its movement over the period is set out below:

		Net Balance Sheet Return	FX & other	Net (realisations)

1 Drawn financial debt less available cash. 

2 For detail on the balance sheet portfolio by asset class see the Datapack accompanying this annoncement. 

Net realisations of the co-investment portfolio, which are structurally episodic, represented 6.7% of the opening value over the last twelve months (five-year average: 8.2%).

The increasingly asset-light nature of our business model is visible in the levels of cash the co-investment portfolio is generating. In recent years the Group has reduced the level of co-investment to a number of strategies as they have become more established with clients over multiple vintages. As a result, we expect the co-investment portfolio for the current perimeter of products to generate significant net cashflow as older vintages are realised and lower co-investment commitments feed into deployment levels. The timing and amount of this cashflow are uncertain, and depend amongst other things on realisation activity and realised valuations.

The impact of FX & Other within the Seed portfolio for H1 FY27 includes a one-off increase of £55m due to the gross asset value of properties in the RE Asia portfolio being included, which were previously presented net of external property-level financing. The property-level financing of an equivalent value is included within Other financial liabilities. This strategy is in run off.

During the period CLO Equity II (a CLO risk retention vehicle) received $87m of commitments and is continuing to fundraise. This fund, in which the Group has a 20% interest, will invest in the equity tranches of newly-issued CLOs. The effect of this, providing we are able to continue to raise client capital for this and subsequent vintages, will be over time to transition our CLO business to a more asset-light model.

At 30 September 2026, the Group had drawn debt of £974m (31 March 2026: £1,024m):

Drawn debt at 31 March 2026	1,024
Debt (repayment) / issuance	(41)
Impact of foreign exchange rates	(9)
Drawn debt at 30 September 2026	974

The weighted-average pre-tax cost of drawn debt at 30 September 2026 was 2.6% (31 March 2026: 2.7%). For further details of our debt facilities see Other Information (page 39).

At 30 September 2026 the Group had uncalled commitments to funds in their investment period of £995m and a further £637m to funds outside of their investment period. Commitments to funds are generally drawn during their investment period, which typically lasts three to five years from the point the commitment is made, although in certain circumstances funds outside their investment period can call on commitments. We continue to optimise the absolute size of balance sheet commitments alongside funds as strategies mature, and we have reduced the absolute commitments made across a number of strategies in recent years. Details of the Group's commitments to funds can be found in the Datapack.

At 30 September 2026, the Group had credit ratings of BBB+ (stable outlook) from S&P and Fitch.

Cash flow and total available liquidity

ICG generated operating cash flow of £219m during H1 FY27 (H1 FY26: £467m) and at 30 September 2026 had total available liquidity of £1,431m (H1 FY26: £1,255m).

FRE-related cash flow grew 21% year-on-year to £149m (H1 FY26: £123m). In addition, we received £18m of performance fees and the balance sheet portfolio generated net cash flow of £97m. The lower cash proceeds year-on-year for performance fees and balance sheet portfolio reflect lower realisations in the period, consistent with their episodic nature. Group operating cash flow was £219m (H1 FY26: £467m), with the reduction principally driven by lower net cashflow from the balance sheet portfolio and lower realised performance fees, partly offset by higher FRE-related cash flow.

Operating cash flows under UK-adopted IAS of £6.7m (H1 FY26: £582.7m) include consolidated structured entities. This difference to the APM measure is driven by cash consumption within consolidated structured entities as a result of their investing activities during the period.

1 Net cash inflows and outflows arising from the share buyback and share issuance transactions reflect timing effects only. On a cumulative basis, the overall transaction was cash-neutral for shareholders upon completion.

Target capital structure and capital allocation

In recent years the Board has spent significant time considering the appropriate capital structure and capital allocation framework for ICG as the Company has approached zero net debt.

As a result of those discussions, today the Board is announcing ICG's medium term target capital structure; is reaffirming ICG's progressive dividend policy; and is confirming the way in which excess capital is allocated to maximise long-term total shareholder return.

Target capital structure

We intend to manage ICG's capital structure around a position of zero net debt over the medium term, which the Board considers appropriate in light of a number of factors including the Company's FRE, dividend policy, and undrawn commitments to its funds (see page 10). This capital structure will ensure we have a strong and flexible balance sheet to enable us to continue to grow and broaden our business organically, as well as position us to withstand any macro shocks.

Alongside this target capital structure, we will continue to ensure we have sufficient available liquidity to meet our cash needs, including to satisfy our co-investment commitments; to seed new strategies and products; to repay our outstanding debt facilities as they come up for maturity; and to take advantage of other opportunities that may arise.

Dividend

ICG's Ordinary dividend per share has increased for 17 consecutive years. Today the Board is reaffirming its progressive dividend policy, which is increasingly supported by the Group's FRE. Over the long term the Board intends to increase the dividend per share by at least mid-single digit percentage points on an annualised basis.

For H1 FY27 the Board has announced an interim dividend of 29.0p per share (H1 FY26: 27.7p), in line with the policy of the interim dividend being one third of the prior year's total dividend. Both Ordinary Shares and Ordinary Non-Voting Shares are entitled to this dividend.

We continue to make the dividend reinvestment plan available for Ordinary Shares.

Allocating excess capital

To the extent we have structural excess cash, including management's views on potential near-term sources and uses of cash, we expect to return capital to shareholders.

Notwithstanding this, if we see attractive opportunities to grow our FRE per share, including inorganic opportunities, funding these would be prioritised over continuing with any buyback programme, and we would also be willing to prudently and temporarily re-lever the business if appropriate.

Share count
As announced on 17 September 2026, the equity partnership with Amundi was completed during the period and all shares held in Treasury were cancelled. As a result, at 30 September 2026 the Group had the following share capital:

	30 September 2026
Total Ordinary Shares in issue (Voting)	275,363,297
Total Ordinary Shares in issue (Non Voting)1	15,280,825
Total Ordinary Shares in issue	290,644,122
Number of shares used for purposes of per share calculations	290,644,122
Weighted average number of shares for purposes of per share calculations	290,642,692

See Note 8 for details of the movement in the Group's share capital during the period.

The Group has a policy of neutralising the dilutive impact of stock-based compensation through the purchase of shares by an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT). During the period the Group expensed £28.2m of stock-based compensation and made £60m of share purchases through the EBT.

1 As detailed in the announcement of 18 November 2025, the Ordinary Non-Voting Shares have the same nominal value, rights and privileges as the Ordinary Shares, including as relates to dividends and other economic rights, save that the Ordinary Non-Voting Shares do not have any voting rights.

Foreign exchange rates

The following foreign exchange rates have been used throughout this review:

	Six months ended 30 September 2025 Average	Twelve months ended 31 March 2026 Average	Six months ended 30 September 2026 Average	30 September 2025 Period End	31 March 2026 Year End	30 September 2026 Period End

EUR:USD	1.1550	1.1616	1.1548	1.1734	1.1553	1.1330

  

The table below sets out the currency exposure for the following:

	USD	EUR	GBP	Other
Fee-earning AUM (as at 30 September 2026)	33%	60%	6%	1%

The table below sets out the indicative impact on our reported management fees, FRE and balance sheet portfolio had sterling been 5% weaker or stronger against the euro and the dollar in the period (excluding the impact of any hedges):

	Impact on H1 FY27 management fees1	Impact on H1 FY27 FRE1	Impact on balance sheet portfolio at 30 September 2026
GBP 5% weaker against EUR and USD	+£18.6m	+£13.6m	+£107.3m
GBP 5% stronger against EUR and USD	-£(16.9)m	-£(12.3)m	-£(107.3)m

Where noted, this review presents changes in fee-earning AUM on a constant currency exchange rate basis. For the purposes of these calculations, prior period numbers have been translated from their underlying fund currencies to the reporting currencies at the respective H1 FY27 period end exchange rates. This has then been compared to the H1 FY27 numbers to arrive at the change on a constant currency exchange rate basis.

The Group does not hedge its net currency income as a matter of course, although this is kept under review. The Group does hedge its net balance sheet currency exposure with the intention of insulating it from FX movements. Changes in the fair value of the balance sheet hedges are reported within other income and expenses.

1 Impact assessed by sensitising the average H1 FY27 FX rates.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The principal risks and uncertainties to which the Group is exposed for the remainder of the year have been subject to robust assessment by the Directors and remain broadly consistent with those outlined in our annual report for the year ended 31 March 2026.

Careful attention continues to be paid to the elevated levels of geopolitical and economic uncertainty and the resulting impact on our principal risks and the overall risk profile of the Group. During the period, amendments were made to the presentation and alignment of certain principal risks to support the continued evolution of the Group's risk management framework. These amendments did not present a material change to the nature of the Group's principal risks or overall risk profile.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO ICG PLC

Conclusion

We have been engaged by ICG plc (‘the Group’) to review the condensed consolidated financial statements in the Interim results statement for the six months ended 30 September 2026 which comprises the condensed consolidated income statement, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of financial position, condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the related explanatory notes 1 to 13 (together the ‘condensed consolidated financial statements’). We have read the other information contained in the Interim results statement and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements in the Interim results statement for the six months ended 30 September 2026 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard for Review Engagements (UK) 2410 (‘ISRE (UK) 2410’) issued by the Financial Reporting Council. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Interim results statement have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

Conclusions Relating to Going Concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for Conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410, however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

Responsibilities of the directors

The directors are responsible for preparing the Interim results statement in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

In preparing the Interim results statement, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’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 Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the review of the financial information

In reviewing the Interim results statement, we are responsible for expressing to the Group a conclusion on the condensed consolidated financial statements in the Interim results statement. Our conclusion, including our ‘Conclusions Relating to Going Concern’, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the ‘Basis for Conclusion’ paragraph of this report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Group in accordance with guidance contained in ISRE (UK) 2410 issued by the Financial Reporting Council. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Group, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the period ended six months ended 30 September 2026

1. General information and basis of preparation

General information

ICG plc (the ‘Parent Company’, ‘Company’ or ‘ICG plc’) is a public company limited by shares, incorporated, domiciled and registered in England and Wales under the Companies Act, with the company registration number 02234775. The registered office is Procession House, 55 Ludgate Hill, London EC4M 7JW.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2026 have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34), the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, and on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2026.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Within the notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, all current and comparative data covering the period to (or as at) 30 September 2026 is unaudited. Data given in respect of 31 March 2026 is audited. The statutory accounts for the year to 31 March 2026 have been reported on by Ernst & Young LLP and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 March 2026, which were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards ('UK-adopted IAS'), are available on the Group’s website, www.icgam.com.

Going concern

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2026 are prepared on a going concern basis, as the Board is satisfied that the Group has the resources to continue in business for a period of at least 12 months from approval of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

In assessing the Group’s ability to continue in its capacity as a going concern, the Board considered a wide range of information relating to present and future projections of profitability and liquidity. The assessment incorporates reverse stress testing.

The review showed the Group has sufficient liquidity in place to support its business operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Directors have a reasonable expectation the Group has resources to continue as a going concern to 30 November 2027, a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Related party transactions

There have been no material changes to the nature or size of related-party transactions since 31 March 2026.

Changes in material accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2026.

There are a number of new accounting pronouncements issued by IASB with an effective date of 1 January 2027, including IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18) which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces additional disclosure obligations in relation to the structure of the income statement, management-defined performance measures, and the aggregation and disaggregation of financial information. The implementation of IFRS 18 is not expected to have a material impact on the results or net assets of the Group and the impact on the presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements is still being assessed. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

1. General information and basis of preparation continued

Key accounting judgements and estimates in the application of accounting policies

The critical judgements made by the Directors in the application of the Group's accounting policies, and the key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, are the same as those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2026.

Changes in segmental reporting

During the period, the Group revised its reportable segments to reflect changes in the Group’s internal reporting structure and the information regularly reviewed by the Group's Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM) (see note 3).

Changes in the composition of the Group

The Group acquired interests in eight subsidiaries and one controlled structured entity that are consolidated within the Group with no material impact on net assets.

The Group ceased to control five subsidiaries on liquidation and disposed of its interest in four subsidiaries in seed investments that were previously reported as consolidated entities with no material impact on net assets.

Re-presentation of income statement, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows
The Group has re-presented selected line items in the condensed consolidated income statement, condensed consolidated statement of financial position and statement of cash flows, including the aggregation or disaggregation of certain balances based on their materiality. The change in presentation has no impact on the Group’s consolidated profit before tax, earnings per share or consolidated net assets. A reconciliation between the re-presented amounts and amounts previously presented for the comparative period is disclosed below.

2. Revenue

Revenue and its related cash flows, within the scope of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, are derived from the Group’s fund management company activities and are presented net of any consideration payable to a customer in the form of rebates. The significant components of the Group’s fund management revenues are as follows:

Management fees

The Group earns management fees from its investment management services. Management fees are charged on third-party capital managed by the Group and are based on an agreed percentage of either committed capital, invested capital or net asset value, dependent on the fund.

Performance fees

Performance fees are recognised only to the extent it is highly probable that there will not be a significant reversal of the revenue recognised in the future. In determining the amount of performance fee revenue to be recognised, if any, the Group is required to make judgements in respect of the timing and measurement of such amounts.

Performance fees will only be crystallised and received in cash when the relevant fund performance hurdle is met. For certain funds, cash may be received before the fund performance hurdle is met.

Key accounting judgement

A key judgement for the Group is whether a fund will meet its expected performance conditions and generate performance fees. The Group bases its assessment on the best available information pertaining to the fund, including the performance of predecessor funds within the same strategy.

The value of performance fees is determined by the proceeds received by the fund in respect of the realisation of its assets. The valuation of the underlying assets within a fund will be subject to fluctuations in the future, including the impact of macroeconomic factors outside the Group’s control. The valuation information on which this judgement is based is the liquidation NAV of the relevant funds.

A constraint is applied to the performance fee receivable calculated with respect to the liquidation NAV of the fund, to reflect the uncertainty of future fund performance. This constraint is set by reference to the maturity of the fund and its portfolio of assets, assuming a standard fund life of 12 years (H1FY26: 12 years). Management judgement will be applied to define the level of constraint for funds that materially deviate from the standard expectations of a fund's life. The level of constraint applied is reassessed at each reporting date.

Based on their experience of the performance of the funds they have managed previously, the Directors have determined that future performance fee income is highly probable when the successor fund has its first fundraising close and the investment period for the existing fund has ended. For other fund structures the estimate of performance fees is made with reference to specific requirements. There are no other individually significant components of revenue from contracts with customers.

3. Segmental reporting

For management purposes, the Group is organised as one operating segment which is also one reportable segment. Segment information is presented on the basis of the internal reports regularly reviewed by the Executive Directors, who are identified as the Group's CODM.

The CODM review the Group's financial performance and allocate resources on a consolidated basis. The financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM is prepared principally on the Group's Alternative Performance Measure ("APM") basis. While certain APM measures are prepared on a basis different from IFRS, these differences do not represent separate operating segments and do not result in materially different performance conclusions.

Measure of performance

The CODM assess the performance of the Group's single operating segment using an APM framework comprising FRE, performance fee income, net balance sheet return and Group profit before tax. The segment information reviewed by the CODM differs from the statutory results prepared under UK-adopted IAS.

As the Group has one operating segment, no separate segment assets or liabilities disclosures are presented.

3. Segmental reporting continued

The following table reconciles the operating segment measure reviewed by the CODM to UK-adopted IAS Group profit before tax:

• All income generated from the balance sheet portfolio is presented as net balance sheet return, under UK-adopted IAS it is presented within total investment returns.
• Structured entities controlled by the Group are presented as fair value investments, these entities are consolidated under UK-adopted IAS within Consolidated entities.
• Presentational adjustments reclassify certain items within the income statement to align management reporting with UK-adopted IAS financial statement categories, including personnel expenses, administrative expenses and other operating income. These reclassifications have no impact on the Group’s profit before tax.

Change in reportable segment
On 1 April 2026, the Group reassessed its operating segments following a change in the FRE view of its business model and the corresponding changes to the internal management reporting regularly reviewed by the CODM. Following that reassessment, management concluded that the composition of the Group's reportable segments has changed from two reportable segments, the Fund Management Company (FMC) and the Investment Company (IC), to a single reportable segment. Accordingly, the segment information has been re-presented to reflect the measures used by the CODM to assess the Group’s performance, comprising FRE, performance fee income, net balance sheet return and Group profit before tax. Comparative information has been re-presented to reflect the current period presentation. The change in segment presentation has no impact on the Group’s consolidated profit before tax, earnings per share or net assets.

A reconciliation between the re-presented amounts of the single operating segment and amounts of FMC and IC segments previously presented for the comparative period is disclosed below.

The Group is an international business and operates across many different tax jurisdictions. Income and expenses are allocated to these jurisdictions based on transfer pricing methodologies set out both (i) in the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates, and (ii) under guidelines set out by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The effective tax rate reported by the Group for the period ended 30 September 2026 of 19.3% (H1 FY26: 16.0%) is lower than the statutory UK corporation tax rate of 25%.

The fund management activities are subject to tax at the relevant statutory rates ruling in the jurisdictions in which the income is earned. The lower effective tax rate compared to the statutory UK rate is largely driven by the investing activities. The investing activities benefit from statutory UK tax exemptions on certain forms of income arising from both foreign dividend receipts and gains from assets qualifying for the substantial shareholdings exemption. The effect of these exemptions means that the effective tax rate of the Group is highly sensitive to the relative mix of investing income, and composition of such income, in any one period.

Due to the application of tax law requiring a degree of judgement, the accounting thereon involves a level of estimation uncertainty which tax authorities may ultimately dispute. Tax liabilities are recognised based on the best estimates of probable outcomes and with regard to external advice where appropriate. The principal factors which may influence the Group’s future tax rate are changes in tax legislation in the territories in which the Group operates, the relative mix of fund management and investing income, the mix of income and expenses earned and incurred by jurisdiction and the timing of recognition of available deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Group accounts for future legislative change, to the extent that is enacted at the reporting date, in its recognition of deferred tax.

The Group has undertaken a review of the level of recognition of deferred tax assets and is satisfied they are recoverable and therefore have been recognised in full.

In 2021, the OECD issued model rules for a new global minimum tax framework (Pillar Two), and this was followed by legislation from various Governments around the world. These rules introduced a global minimum tax rate of 15%, ensuring fair taxation for entities which are part of a multinational group of enterprises.

From FY25 onwards, the Group has been subject to the global minimum top-up tax rate under Pillar Two legislation. However, there is no material amount of top-up tax recognised in respect of the Group’s operations for the period. The Group has applied the mandatory IAS 12 temporary exemption from the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes arising from implementation of the OECD’s Pillar Two model rules.

5. Financial assets and liabilities at fair value

Accounting policy Financial assets Financial assets can be classified into the following categories: Amortised Cost, Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (‘FVTPL’) and Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (‘FVOCI’). The Group has classified all invested financial assets as FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are initially recognised and subsequently measured at fair value and transaction costs are recognised in the condensed consolidated income statement immediately. A valuation assessment is performed on a recurring basis with gains or losses arising from changes in fair value recognised through total investment returns in the condensed consolidated income statement. Dividends or interest earned on the financial assets are also included in the total investment returns. Exchange differences are included within other operating income. Where the Group holds investments in a number of financial instruments such as debt and equity in a portfolio company, the Group views their entire investment as a unit of account for valuation purposes. Industry standard valuation guidelines such as the International Private Equity and Venture Capital (’IPEV’) Valuation Guidelines – December 2025, allow for a level of aggregation where there are a number of financial instruments held within a portfolio company. Derecognition of financial assets The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are transferred to another party. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying value amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable, is recognised in profit or loss. Key sources of estimation uncertainty on financial assets Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date. The fair value of investments is based on quoted prices, where available. Where quoted prices are not available, the fair value is estimated in line with UK-adopted IAS and industry standard valuation guidelines such as IPEV for direct investments in portfolio companies, and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Valuation – Global Standards 2024 for investment property. These valuation techniques can be subjective and include assumptions which are not supportable by observable data. Details of the valuation techniques and the associated sensitivities are further disclosed in this note on page 37. Given the subjectivity of valuing investments in private companies, senior and subordinated notes of Collateralised Loan Obligation vehicles and investments in investment property, these are key sources of estimation uncertainty, and as such the valuations are approved by the relevant fund Investment Committees ('ICs') and Group Valuation Committee ('GVC'). The unobservable inputs relative to these investments are further detailed below.

Valuations

Valuation process

The GVC is responsible for reviewing and concluding on the fair value of the Group's balance sheet investment positions in accordance with the Group Valuation Policy. This includes consideration of the valuations received from the underlying funds. The GVC reviews its fair values on a quarterly basis and reports to the Audit Committee semi-annually. The GVC is independent of the boards of directors of the funds and no member of the GVC is a member of either the Group’s investment teams or fund ICs.

The ICs are responsible for the review, challenge, and approval of the underlying funds’ valuations of their assets. Sources of the valuation reviewed by the ICs include the ICG investment team, third-party valuation services and third-party fund administrators, as appropriate. The ICs provide those valuations to the Group, as an investor in the fund assets. The IC is also responsible for escalating significant events regarding the valuation to the Group (as an investor in the fund assets), for example change in valuation methodologies, potential impairment events or material judgements.

The table on page 37 outlines in more detail the range of valuation techniques, as well as the key unobservable inputs for each category of Level 3 assets and liabilities.

5. Financial assets and liabilities at fair value continued

Investment in or alongside managed funds

When fair values of publicly traded closed-ended funds and open-ended funds are based on quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets without any adjustments, the instruments are included within Level 1 of the hierarchy. The Group values these investments at bid price for long positions.

The Group also co-invests with funds, including credit and private equity secondary funds, which are not quoted in an active market. The Group assesses the valuation techniques and inputs used by these funds to ensure they are reasonable, appropriate and consistent with the principles of fair value. The latest available NAV of these funds are generally used as an input into measuring their fair value. The NAV of the funds are adjusted, as necessary, to reflect restrictions on redemptions, and other specific factors relevant to the funds. In measuring fair value, consideration is also given to any transactions in the interests of the funds. The Group classifies these funds as Level 3.

Investment in private companies

The Group takes debt and equity stakes in companies that are, other than on very rare occasions, not quoted in an active market and uses either a market-based valuation technique or a discounted cash flow technique to value these positions.

The Group’s investments in private companies are held at fair value using the most appropriate valuation technique based on the nature, facts and circumstances of the private company. The first of two principal valuation techniques is a market comparable companies technique. The enterprise value (‘EV’) of the portfolio company is determined by applying an earnings multiple, taken from comparable companies, to the profits of the portfolio company. The Group determines comparable private and public companies, based on industry, size, location, leverage and strategy, and calculates an appropriate multiple for each comparable company identified. The second principal valuation technique is a discounted cash flow (‘DCF’) approach. Fair value is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows of the portfolio company to the present value. Various assumptions are utilised as inputs, such as terminal value and the appropriate discount rate to apply. Typically, the DCF is then calibrated alongside a market comparable companies approach. Alternate valuation techniques may be used where there is a recent offer or a recent comparable market transaction, which may provide an observable market price and an approximation to fair value of the private company. The Group classified these assets as Level 3.

Investment in public companies

Quoted investments are held at the last traded bid price on the reporting date. When a purchase or sale is made under contract, the terms of which require delivery within the timeframe of the relevant market, the contract is recognised on the trade date.

Investment in loans held in consolidated structured entities

The loan asset portfolios of the consolidated structured entities are valued using observable inputs such as recently executed transaction prices in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers and from independent loan pricing sources. To the extent that the significant inputs are observable the Group classifies these assets as Level 2 and assets with unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3. Level 3 assets are valued using a discounted cash flow technique and the key inputs under this approach are detailed on page 37.

Derivative assets and liabilities

The Group uses market-standard valuation models for determining fair values of over-the-counter interest rate swaps, currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including both credit and debit valuation adjustments for counterparty and own credit risk, foreign exchange spot and forward rates and interest rate curves. For these financial instruments, significant inputs into models are market observable and are included within Level 2.

Senior and subordinated notes of CLO vehicles

The Group holds investments in the senior and subordinated notes of the CLOs it manages, predominately driven by European Union risk-retention requirements. The Group employs DCF analysis to fair value these investments, using several inputs including constant annual default rates, prepayment rates, reinvestment rates, recovery rates and discount rates. The DCF analysis at the reporting date shows that the senior notes are typically expected to recover all contractual cash flows, including under stressed scenarios, over the life of the CLOs. Observable inputs are used in determining the fair value of senior notes and these instruments are therefore classified as Level 2. Unobservable inputs are used in determining the fair value of subordinated notes, which are therefore classified as Level 3 instruments.

5. Financial assets and liabilities at fair value continued

Liabilities of consolidated CLO vehicles

Rated debt liabilities of consolidated CLOs are generally valued at par plus accrued interest, which we assess as fair value. Observable inputs are used in determining the fair value of these instruments, including the valuation of the CLO loan asset portfolio. As a result these liabilities are classified as Level 2.

Unrated/subordinated debt liabilities of consolidated CLOs are valued directly in line with the fair value of the CLO loan asset portfolio. These underlying assets mostly comprise observable loan securities traded in active markets. The underlying assets are reported in both Level 2 and Level 3. As a result of this methodology of deriving the valuation of unrated/subordinated debt liabilities from a combination of Level 2 and Level 3 asset values, we classified these liabilities as Level 3.

Real assets

To the extent that the Group invests in real estate assets, whether through an investment in a managed fund or an investment in a private company, the assets may be classified as either a financial asset (investment in a managed fund, see page 33) or investment property (investment in a controlled private company) in accordance with IAS 40 Investment Property. The fair values of the directly held material investment properties have been recorded based on independent valuations prepared by third-party real estate valuation specialists in line with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Valuation – Global Standards 2024. At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews its assessment of the fair value of each property, taking into account the most recent independent valuations. The Directors determine a property value within a range of reasonable fair value estimates, based on information provided.

All resulting fair value estimates for real estate assets classified as a financial asset are included in Level 3.

Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position

The information set out below provides information about how the Group determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

• Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
• Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs)

The following table summarises the valuation of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities by fair value hierarchy:

Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurement of financial assets
The following tables set out the movements in recurring financial assets valued using the Level 3 basis of measurement in aggregate. Within the income statement, realised gains and fair value movements are included within total investments returns, and foreign exchange gains/(losses) are included within other operating income. Transfers between levels take place when there are changes to the observability of inputs used in the valuation of these assets. This is determined based on the closing valuation and transfers therefore take place at the end of the reporting period.

Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurement of financial liabilities
The following table sets out the movements in recurring financial liabilities valued using the Level 3 basis of measurement in aggregate. Within the income statement, realised gains and fair value movements are included within gains on investments, and foreign exchange gains/(losses) are included within finance costs. Transfers in and out of Level 3 financial liabilities were due to changes to the observability of inputs used in the valuation of these liabilities.

During the period ended 30 September 2026, changes in the fair value of the assets of consolidated CLOs resulted in an increase in the fair value of the financial liabilities of those consolidated credit funds, reported as a ‘fair value loss’ in the table below.

1. Where the Group has co-invested with its managed funds, it is the type of the underlying investment, and the valuation techniques used for these underlying investments, that is set out here.
2. Where both discounted cash flow (“DCF”) and market comparable companies’ valuation techniques are performed, the valuation models are calibrated, and an earnings multiple is implied by the DCF valuation. Where this methodology is applied, the sensitivity has been applied to the implied earnings multiple, using the market comparable companies’ valuation technique.
3. Investments in the following strategies are sensitised using the actual or implied earnings multiple to provide a consistent and comparable basis for this analysis: Corporate Investments, US Mid-Market, North America Credit Partners.
4. The sensitivity analysis is performed on the entire portfolio of subordinated notes of CLO vehicles that the Group has invested in with total value of £210.1m (2026: £221.4m). This value includes investments in CLOs that are not consolidated £2.9m (2026: £4.4m) and investments in CLOs which are consolidated £207.1m (2026: £217.0m). The default rate applied was set at 2.0% until maturity, across the entire portfolio. The upside case is based on the default rate being lowered to 1.0% to maturity, keeping all other parameters consistent. The downside case is based on the default rate being increased to 3.0% to maturity, keeping all other parameters consistent.
