COMMENTARY BY THE CHAIRMAN
Introduction
It has been a positive year of recovery and I am pleased to report that our revenue for the 2021 year was GBP565.6m, 11% higher than the 2020 revenue of GBP510.2m (13% higher at constant exchange rates). This was against a backdrop of improving economic conditions. Adjusted* profit before tax amounted to GBP119.7m (2020: GBP48.6m), an increase of 146%. Statutory profit before tax was GBP139.4m (2020: GBP3.2m). Both revenue and Adjusted profit before tax are consistent with the guidance provided in July.
We achieved good revenue growth in our APAC region, where we continue to see strong demand for our encoder product lines which are benefiting from increased investments in the semiconductor and electronics capital equipment markets. Our EMEA and Americas regions both achieved modest revenue growth, with the first half of the year mirroring the second half of 2020 due to the pandemic, but with strong growth in the second half of 2021. They have continued to be affected by the ongoing uncertainty caused by the pandemic and consequent challenges to key sectors, particularly aerospace.
Our Fit for the Future initiative, which began in 2020, has focused on productivity and has reduced our cost base. This is reflected in the much-improved profitability compared to last year. The initiative resulted in a number of actions including a resizing of the business, a restructure of our Additive Manufacturing (AM) business, and a focus on prioritising significant design projects.
In March, Renishaw announced that John Deer (our Non-executive Deputy Chairman), and I, had indicated to the Board our intention to sell our entire combined shareholdings in the Company; together, we own approximately 53% of the issued share capital of the Company. Having considered various options with our advisers, the Board unanimously agreed that it would be appropriate to investigate the sale of the Company and therefore launch a formal sale process (FSP).
Throughout this process, we considered the interests of all our stakeholders and looked for a buyer who would respect the unique heritage and culture of Renishaw, its commitment to the local communities where we operate, and who would enable the Company to prosper in the long term.
The Board, together with our advisers, carefully reviewed a number of proposals from potential buyers. We unanimously concluded that none would meet the Board's objectives of delivering an outcome that satisfactorily met the interests of all stakeholders. We therefore announced in July 2021 that we had unanimously decided to conclude the FSP and that John and I had indicated to the Board that we remain committed to Renishaw.
Reacting to a new world
The pandemic has resulted in profound changes to our society, the business environment and business practices. Many of these changes will be with us for the long term and we recognise the risks and the opportunities that this brings to our business.
Across the world the pandemic is accelerating trends around digitalisation, automation, near-shoring, remote working and sustainability. For Renishaw this presents significant positive opportunities, as our products are well placed to support our customers as they respond to these new challenges. We recognise that the workplace has changed and that it is possible for many roles to successfully combine remote and site-based working. We have therefore implemented a hybrid working policy in the UK, where non-manufacturing employees will split their week between on-site and home working.
As a business we also recognise the increased need for sustainability and the need to accelerate our own work in this area. We have made significant efforts to reduce our carbon emissions in recent years. However, like many organisations there is much more that we must do to meet the challenges of climate change and we are currently developing a Net Zero strategy.
Corporate governance
We remain committed to high standards of corporate governance and considering key stakeholders when making decisions, in the belief this will protect our business and its long-term sustainable success.
Our culture
The ongoing pandemic has continued to affect our business and employees around the world. Despite this challenging environment we remain resilient, and our people have continued to maintain supply and excellent levels of support to our customers around the world, many of whom are in critical global supply chains.
I would again like to thank our people for demonstrating professionalism and dedication, despite the ever-changing circumstances, and the challenges that many have faced in their own personal lives due to the pandemic.
These challenges have highlighted the importance of our strong working culture at Renishaw and we are pleased to have started the process of communicating how our core business values of inspiration, involvement, innovation and integrity help to support our new purpose and vision. These values embody our culture, where our people are encouraged:
- to be innovative and challenge convention; - to always act with integrity; - to inspire each other, our customers and our wider communities; and
- to be fully involved and support each other in contributing to the success of Renishaw and our communities.
We will achieve this by embedding these values within the business through leadership and processes that recognise and reward behaviours that embody our four values.
Values workshops hosted by our global values ambassadors have been held in the UK and across our regions. These communicated our values, demonstrated how they can be applied to everyone's role, how they will support our purpose and vision, and helped us understand what these values mean to our people.
Our value of involvement supports our commitment to equality and diversity initiatives at all levels of the company. Our UK Diversity & Inclusion group led initiatives during the year, including celebrating our first Inclusion Week, where we focused on the meaning of inclusion, gender, cultural awareness and mental health.
Dividend
Given the uncertain trading conditions last year, there were no dividends in respect of 2020.
With improved profits and cash balances this year, we have reinstated the dividend programme, with an interim dividend of 14.0 pence net per share paid on 6 April 2021. The Board is pleased to propose a final dividend of 52.0 pence net per share.

COMMENTARY BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Introduction
There has been a good recovery for our business, and I am proud of our people who have again risen to the challenges faced. During the second half of the year we started to see a recovery in some of our key markets, and we ended the year dealing with the demands of a record order book and supplying our customers in the face of global supply chain challenges. We have recruited strongly in our manufacturing operations to increase capacity, and our logistics teams have responded admirably to another challenging period.
Our customers have appreciated our support. This has left us in a very strong position to grow with them as they now experience new opportunities arising from the recovery in their markets.
During the year, I spent time with all our global employees communicating our new purpose, vision and strategy, and how every individual can help to deliver on these. Together, we are in a strong position to innovate and transform capabilities in manufacturing, science and healthcare, through unparalleled levels of precision, productivity and practicality, and help our customers create the products, materials and therapies that will define our world in the decades to come.
As Sir David has already mentioned, in March we launched an FSP for the Company. However, having received no proposals that the Board felt satisfactorily met the interests of all our stakeholders, we announced the closure of the process in July. I am delighted that the founders have indicated their continuing commitment to Renishaw, and it continues to be very much business as usual for the Board and our employees as we focus on delivering our strategy for success.
COVID-19 pandemic
Our priorities during this pandemic continue to be the health and welfare of our employees, their families and the wider communities in which we operate, and to maintain high service levels to our global customer base.
We have a wide range of robust COVID-secure working practices in place to protect against the spread of the virus. Within the UK, where we have higher numbers of employees, we have introduced twice-weekly self-testing for all employees who are working on-site. All our manufacturing facilities around the world are operating as normal, and we have maintained supply to customers. Like many other manufacturers our lead times have increased due to global shortages of certain components and materials.
Many of our non-manufacturing employees have worked remotely throughout the pandemic, and while this has generally been a positive experience in terms of productivity, we recognise the benefits of in-person collaboration. We have therefore agreed a hybrid working policy, initially in the UK.
The pandemic has brought forward many digital initiatives, including the expansion of the use of digital collaborative tools for customer support, and the use of marketing automation, virtual exhibitions and webinars to ensure a supply of high-quality sales opportunities.
Performance overview
As already outlined by Sir David, we have seen good growth in revenue and Adjusted operating profit for the Group. There was notably strong growth for our position encoder product line due to demand from the semiconductor and electronics sectors, which were boosted by high pandemic-related demand for products including laptops and games consoles. Most of our other lines also grew due to a strong global recovery in the second half of the year. We achieved good revenue growth in our APAC region, with a particularly strong recovery in China based on general demand across multiple sectors.
Revenue
We achieved revenue for the year ended 30 June 2021 of GBP565.6m, compared with GBP510.2m last year. As previously communicated, we have worked closely with key customers throughout the pandemic to ensure that we were in a position to meet their requirements when economic conditions improved, and we are now benefiting from that approach. While the challenges remain, we are well placed to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the global economic recovery.
The split of our revenue by region is shown in the table below:
Constant 2021 2020 Change fx change GBPm GBPm % % -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------- APAC 274.8 227.7 +21 +23 -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------- EMEA 169.1 167.2 +1 +1 -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------- Americas 121.7 115.3 +6 +9 -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------- Total Group revenue 565.6 510.2 +11 +13 -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ----------
Profit and earnings per share
Our Adjusted* profit before tax for the year was GBP119.7m compared with GBP48.6m last year. Adjusted* earnings per share was 132.0p compared with 51.0p last year.
Statutory profit before tax for the year was GBP139.4m compared with GBP3.2m last year. Statutory earnings per share was 153.2p compared with 0.4p last year.
This year's tax charge is GBP28.0m (2020: GBP2.9m) representing a tax rate of 20.1% (2020: 91.0%). For further details on the tax rate see note 8.
Manufacturing technologies
During the year, we used the launch of our purpose, vision and strategy to rename our operating segments to better reflect the business. Our Manufacturing technologies business consists of Industrial Metrology, Position Measurement and Additive Manufacturing (AM) product groups. Revenue from our Manufacturing technologies business for the year (formerly 'Metrology') was GBP526.2m compared with GBP475.2m last year. While the pandemic continues to affect some of our key sectors, primarily aerospace, in the second half of the year we have seen a strong recovery in sales and orders for most of the product lines which make up this segment. The strongest recovery has been in APAC, where we have seen strong growth over the last year but there are positive signs of returning confidence in all our regions.
We have seen growth in demand for most of our Manufacturing technologies products, notably in our machine tool product line, our gauging product line, and our optical, laser and magnetic encoder product lines. The encoder product lines have all experienced record sales due to strong investment in the semiconductor and electronics capital equipment markets. Our co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM) product line experienced reduced demand in the first half of the year due to the challenges in some sectors, particularly aerospace. However, our strong portfolio of measurement products and global customer base means that we are already benefiting from a recovery in sector investments, and the CMM line full-year revenue was only slightly below last year.
Our AM product line revenue was also lower than last year but was in line with our expectations following the restructuring of the business in 2020. Demand for the RenAM 500Q multi-laser system was affected by the challenging market conditions, especially within the aerospace sector. With the benefits of our multi-laser systems for high-quality, productive metal part manufacture now being proven with key customers, and the soon-to-be-available Flex system (for rapidly changing between differing materials during process prove-out), we are well placed to benefit from an improvement in market conditions and the expansion of AM into new applications.
The geographical analysis of Manufacturing technologies revenue is set out below:
2021 2020 Change GBPm GBPm % --------------------------------- ----- ----- ------ APAC 262.2 213.6 +23 --------------------------------- ----- ----- ------ EMEA 150.6 152.5 -1 --------------------------------- ----- ----- ------ Americas 113.4 109.1 +4 --------------------------------- ----- ----- ------ Total Manufacturing technologies revenue 526.2 475.2 +11 --------------------------------- ----- ----- ------
Adjusted* operating profit for our Manufacturing technologies business was GBP112.6m (2020: GBP50.3m).
We continued to invest in R&D, with total gross engineering costs of GBP70.6m compared with GBP75.9m in 2020.
We launched a number of new products during the year. Our machine tool product line introduced the second-generation NC4+ Blue non-contact tool setting system, with ultra-compact design and measurement repeatability down to +/-0.5 microns. Within our position encoder product line, a significant addition was the FORTiS(TM) enclosed linear absolute encoder for harsh production environments, including machine tools.
Analytical instruments and medical devices
Revenue from this business for the year was GBP39.4m, an increase of 12% on last year. We saw growth in our spectroscopy and neurological product lines, notably the latter, which experienced record sales during the year, boosted by hospitals in key markets restarting elective surgery as COVID-19 patient numbers fell.
While there remain challenges, confidence has returned to all our key markets. Funds for capital expenditure projects which were postponed last year are being released and we are seeing a good recovery in industrial and academic research budgets which will benefit our spectroscopy and neurological lines.
Adjusted* operating profit was GBP5.9m, compared with GBP1.4m last year.
We continued to invest in R&D, with total gross engineering costs in this business segment of GBP6.0m compared with GBP6.5m in 2020.
During the year, our neurological product line agreed to work with a major pharmaceutical company on a programme for a new candidate drug using our drug delivery system. The rapid growth of potential gene therapy treatments for neurological diseases and disorders is also generating significant interest in our delivery device.
The spectroscopy product line introduced a new Particle Analysis software module for our inVia(TM) Raman spectrometer system, which enables multiple spectra captured on filter paper to be automatically analysed and categorised by shape, size and chemistry. This has applications for the detection of microplastics in drinking water.
Strategy and markets
Our overarching strategy to deliver our purpose and vision is based on creating strong market positions with patented and innovative products and processes; cost-effective in-house manufacturing that delivers high-quality products; strong global support to ensure our customers achieve success; support services that ensure an efficient, intelligent and responsible business; and fostering a culture that allows us to attract and retain talented and motivated people who will deliver our strategy. This strategy underpins all our product lines, for which we also have individual commercial and product strategies.
From transport to agriculture, electronics to neurosurgery, our vision is to innovate and transform capabilities in manufacturing and healthcare through unparalleled levels of precision, productivity and practicality. In a world of increasingly scarce resources this is especially important to help our customers to develop products and processes that are sustainable, deliver higher levels of performance through increased efficiency, make intelligent use of data, and are customised to suit individual requirements.
We continue to see external market growth drivers that are creating positive opportunities for our business. These include global skills shortages, digitalisation, near-shoring and reshoring, sustainable manufacturing, population growth and increasing life expectancy.
Focused investment for long-term growth
We strongly believe in our long-term strategy of delivering sustainable growth through:
- investments in R&D that are focused on products that deliver unparalleled levels of precision, productivity and practicality;
- investments in in-house manufacturing that give us control over quality, delivery and costs; and
- investments in our global marketing and distribution infrastructure.
However, with the global economic uncertainties during the year, our short-term focus has been on maximising the benefits of the investments we have made over the past few years and clearly prioritising those 'flagship' projects that either bring faster revenue benefits or are strategically important to the business. The launch of the FORTiS encoder is a good example of this.
We continue to invest to improve productivity through development programmes for our people, our Workday(R) human resources system, and the planned deployment of Microsoft Dynamics 365 enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management application.
Working capital
Inventories increased to GBP113.6m from GBP105.5m at the beginning of the year, as a result of the higher trading levels and our decision to increase safety stock levels of critical components, where possible, to mitigate the risk of supply chain disruption.
Trade receivables increased from GBP105.1m to GBP114.7m in line with increased sales. There was an improvement in debtor days to 61 at the end of the year, compared with 76 at the end of last year, which includes a currency translation gain of GBP7.8m. There have been no significant bad debts during the year.
As a result of our strong trading performance, reduced levels of capital expenditure, and the decision not to propose a final dividend for 2020, we have healthy net cash and bank deposit balances at 30 June 2021 of GBP215.0m (2020: GBP120.4m), and a corresponding improvement in our liquidity position over the year.
Sustainability and community
We reduced our market-based statutory greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 5%, and introduced a new Group policy to only use electricity from certified renewable sources, where possible. Despite the pandemic we still reached more than 5,000 children with new virtual education outreach programmes, including interactive workshops and work experience weeks, and we assisted local organisations through charitable donations and practical support.
Our people
Our workforce at the end of June 2021 was 4,664 (2020: 4,463), an increase of 5%. During the year, 40 apprentices and graduates were taken on as part of our ongoing commitment to train and develop skilled resource for the Group in the future. We also took on 19 industrial placements in the year.
During the year we continued to face challenges. This included the pandemic, tough trading conditions, lower headcount (due to the redundancies and recruitment freeze in 2020) which increased pressures in some areas of the business, and the formal sale process. There were also huge demands placed on our manufacturing operations as we saw a strong recovery in demand accompanied by global shortages of key components.
It is testament to the continuing resilience, skill and dedication of our people that during the year they supplied and supported our customers, introduced innovative new products, progressed key projects that will underpin the future of our business, and supported each other and our local communities. They truly demonstrated our four core values, while continuing to help Renishaw deliver on our purpose and vision, and as a Board we are truly grateful for their contributions during another challenging year.
Brexit
To mitigate against the potential impacts of the UK leaving the EU, we have taken actions in recent years including establishing a warehouse in Ireland, expanding our existing warehouse in Germany, and increasing the inventory of certain finished goods and components at sites within the EU and the UK. Although there have been some delays at the UK borders for shipments into the EU since 1 January 2021, the measures that we have taken have minimised the impact on customer service.
Outlook
The 2022 financial year has started with a strong first quarter and we currently have a record order book. We expect demand from the semiconductor and electronics sectors to remain strong and that there will continue to be a recovery in the machine tool and coordinate measuring machine markets. In our Analytical instruments and medical devices markets, we have seen confidence return and capital expenditure projects released.
The Board continues to be confident in our long-term prospects, due to our strong financial position, the high quality of our people, our innovative product pipeline, extensive global sales and marketing presence and relevance to high-value manufacturing.

COMMENTARY BY THE GROUP FINANCE DIRECTOR
Revenue for the year amounted to GBP565.6m, an increase of 11% compared with GBP510.2m last year. We achieved strong revenue growth in our APAC region, largely driven by increased investments in the semiconductor and electronics capital equipment markets. We also saw growth in the Americas and EMEA regions, with a notable increase in demand in the second half of the year as the economies continued to recover from the pandemic.
In our Manufacturing technologies business (previously Metrology), revenue increased by 11% to GBP526.2m, compared with GBP475.2m last year. We have seen growth in demand for many of these products, notably in our machine tool product line and our encoder product lines, mostly as a result of the continuing recovery in the semiconductor and electronics capital equipment market.
Revenue in our Analytical instruments and medical devices business also increased to GBP39.4m, compared with GBP35.0m last year.

Operating costs
Our Fit for the Future initiative implemented last year resulted in actions which improved productivity and reduced our cost base. These included a resizing of the business, a restructure of our AM product line, and a focus on prioritising design projects to accelerate the market launch of significant products.
As a result, underlying labour costs (excluding bonuses and grants) were GBP208.2m this year compared to GBP225.8m last year, with an average headcount of 4,437 (2020: 4,797). This year's total labour cost (see note 3) includes GBP1.0m of global job retention grant income (2020: GBP4.5m), all of which originated overseas this year, a GBP3.5m 'thank you' payment for employees to recognise their exceptional efforts during the pandemic, and performance bonuses totalling GBP13.2m (2020: GBPnil). Given the increase in demand in the second half of the year we have recruited over 300 manufacturing staff to ensure we have sufficient capacity to meet demand.
Certain other operating costs, such as travel and exhibitions, are around GBP6.3m lower this year compared to last year due to restrictions resulting from the pandemic. We expect these costs to increase as restrictions are lifted, although we do not expect travel to return to pre-pandemic levels as the use of online meetings has proven an effective tool for many communications and is aligned with our environmental aims.
Production costs, as a % of sales, reduced by 1% to 35% (see note 4). This is the result of both cost reductions and improved manufacturing efficiencies.
Impairments of GBP4.7m have been recognised in the year, relating to investments, loans and finance leases with an associate company (see note 13 for further detail). No further significant asset impairments have been recognised this year, as a result of improving macroeconomic conditions and upward demand trends across most of our geographic areas and business units. In the previous year, we impaired GBP9.9m of capitalised development costs (aside from restructuring costs).
Research and development
We remain committed to our long-term strategy of delivering growth through the development and introduction of innovative and patented products. During the year we incurred research and development expenditure of GBP58.6m, compared with GBP66.6m last year (see note 4). This reduction is consistent with our expectations given the focus on flagship projects. We also incurred GBP18.0m (2020: GBP15.8m) on other engineering expenditure, to support existing products and technologies.
We have launched new products during the year, notably the FORTiS enclosed optical encoder which provides high-performance measurement in harsh environments, including machine tools and semiconductor wafer dicing.
Profit and tax
Adjusted profit before tax amounted to GBP119.7m compared with GBP48.6m in 2020, an increase of 146%. Statutory profit before tax was GBP139.4m compared with GBP3.2m in the previous year.
Items excluded from Adjusted profit before tax are as follows:
- GBP23.8m of restructuring costs in 2020 which have not repeated this year;
- gains of GBP23.0m from forward contracts deemed ineffective for cash flow hedging (2020: GBP21.6m loss); and
- third-party fees relating to the FSP of GBP3.2m (2020: GBPnil).
Further details of alternative performance measures are provided in note 28.
Adjusted operating profit in our Manufacturing technologies business was GBP112.6m compared with GBP50.3m last year, while in our Analytical instruments and medical devices business, Adjusted operating profit was GBP5.9m compared with GBP1.4m last year. These improvements result from revenue growth and the reduced cost base described earlier.
The overall effective rate of tax was 20.1% (2020: 91.0%). We operate in many countries around the world and the overall effective tax rate is a result of the combination of the varying tax rates applicable throughout these countries. The reduction in the year-on-year rate is primarily due to the derecognition of deferred tax assets in 2020. Note 8 provides further analysis of the effective tax rate.
Cash and liquidity
We have achieved an improvement in our liquidity position during the year, with net cash and bank deposit balances at 30 June 2021 of GBP215.0m (2020: GBP120.4m). This is mostly a result of our strong trading performance and reduced levels of capital expenditure and dividends paid this year.
We disclose details of 'severe but plausible' scenario forecasts used in our going concern assessment in note 1 and conclude that we have a reasonable expectation that we will retain a liquid position and be able to continue in operation for at least the next 12 months.
Consolidated balance sheet
Additions to property, plant and equipment and vehicles totalled GBP10.9m, of which GBP1.0m was spent on property and GBP9.9m on plant and machinery, IT equipment and infrastructure, and vehicles. The lower expenditure this year is in line with our expectations following significant infrastructure investments in recent years.
Within working capital, inventories increased to GBP113.6m from GBP105.5m at the beginning of the year, primarily as a result of the higher trading levels. We continue to focus on inventory management while remaining committed to our policy of holding sufficient finished goods to ensure customer delivery performance, given our short order book. Given recent global shortages, we have also increased safety stock levels of some critical components to mitigate the risk of supply chain disruption.
Trade receivables increased from GBP105.1m to GBP114.7m due to increased revenue and including a currency translation gain of GBP7.8m.
There was an improvement in debtor days to 61 at the end of the year, compared with 76 at the end of last year. We have also seen a reduction in the provision for expected credit losses, from 1.5% of gross trade receivables at 30 June 2020, to 0.3% at 30 June 2021, resulting from the economic recovery we are now experiencing across our regions.
Total equity at the end of the year was GBP703.3m, compared with GBP546.9m at 30 June 2020, primarily as a result of profit for the year of GBP111.5m and cash flow hedging reserve gains of GBP41.8m.
Capital allocation strategy
The Board regularly reviews the capital requirements of the Group, in order to maintain a strong financial position to protect the business and provide flexibility to fund future growth.
We have consistently applied our capital allocation strategy for many years. We are committed to investment in the R&D of new products, manufacturing processes and global support infrastructure in order to generate growth in future returns and to improve productivity while managing expenditure appropriate to trading conditions. This is evidenced in the year by continued investments in capital and R&D.
Actual and forecast returns, along with our strong financial position, support our progressive dividend policy, which aims to increase the dividend per share while maintaining a prudent level of dividend cover. In exceptional circumstances the Board may deem it appropriate to not pay a dividend. This was the case in 2020, where no final dividend was proposed as a result of global uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pensions
At the end of the year our defined benefit pension schemes, now closed for future accrual, showed a deficit of GBP23.7m, compared with a deficit of GBP64.9m at 30 June 2020. Defined benefit pension schemes' assets at 30 June 2021 increased to GBP231.4m from GBP188.6m at 30 June 2020, primarily as a result of strong investment performance.
Pension scheme liabilities decreased from GBP253.5m to GBP232.6m, on an IAS 19 basis (excluding the effect of IFRIC 14 and the asset ceiling). This primarily reflects the net effect of:
- an increase in the discount rate of the UK scheme; - an increase in RPI for the UK and Irish schemes; - an increase in CPI for the UK scheme; and - a GBP14.3m reduction due to an adjustment discussed further below.
According to the terms of the current deficit funding plan, the Company is paying GBP8.7m each year into the scheme until 1 October 2023. The agreement will continue until 30 June 2031 and any outstanding deficit will be paid at that time. The agreement will end sooner if the actuarial deficit (calculated on a self-sufficiency basis) is eliminated in the meantime. The present value of the expected payments totalled GBP19.2m at 30 June 2021, relative to the net asset position of GBP3.3m. This has resulted in an additional GBP22.4m liability being recognised according to the asset ceiling and IFRIC 14.
In October 2020, the Trustees of the Renishaw Pension Fund ('the UK defined benefit scheme') notified the Company of a difference between the calculated estimate of liabilities in the scheme for administration purposes and for accounting purposes. Differing legal interpretations of the Trust Deed and Rules were subsequently concluded by legal firms instructed by the Trustees and the Company, mostly relating to the periods over which revaluation and late retirement factors are applied, with significant differences in the financial impact noted. Consequently, in April 2021, the Trustees and the Company jointly instructed Queen's Counsel to opine on a legal interpretation of the Trust Deed and Rules that both parties would accept. This resulted in another interpretation of the Trust Deed and Rules which is now the accepted legal position, with a GBP14.3m reduction in liabilities calculated on this basis. This change in liability estimate in the year relates to benefits for some members payable in future years, and has been accounted for within the 'Remeasurement of defined benefit pension scheme liabilities' in the Consolidated statement of other comprehensive income and expense.
See note 22 for further details on employee benefits.
Treasury policies
Our treasury policies are designed to manage the financial risks that arise from operating in a number of foreign currencies, to maximise interest income on cash deposits, and to ensure that appropriate funding arrangements are available for each of our companies.
We use forward exchange contracts to hedge a proportion of anticipated foreign currency cash inflows and the translation of foreign currency denominated intercompany balances. There are forward contracts in place to hedge against our Euro, US Dollar and Japanese Yen cash inflows and to offset movements on Renishaw plc's Euro, US Dollar and Japanese Yen intercompany balances. We do not speculate with derivative financial instruments.
Most of these forward contracts are subject to hedge accounting under IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'. The hedged item in these contracts is the revenue forecasts of Renishaw plc and Renishaw UK Sales Limited, and during the year these forecasts were increased due to the improved economic conditions, such that all forward contracts have passed hedge effectiveness testing in the year. Gains and losses which recycle through the Consolidated income statement as a result of contracts previously found to be ineffective are excluded from adjusted profit measures. See note 24 for further details on financial instruments and note 28 on alternative performance measures.
Earnings per share and dividend
Adjusted earnings per share is 132.0p compared with 51.0p last year, while statutory earnings per share is 153.2p compared with 0.4p last year.
We reinstated the dividend programme during the year and paid an interim dividend of 14.0 pence net per share (2020: nil) on 6 April 2021 and are pleased to propose a final dividend of 52.0 pence net per share in respect of the year (2020: nil).
Looking forward
We continue to see external market growth drivers that are creating opportunities for our business.
These include global skills shortages, digitalisation, near-shoring and reshoring, sustainable manufacturing, population growth and increasing life expectancy. These opportunities support a core objective of investing in research and development to deliver patented and innovative products and processes, helping our customers improve efficiency and reduce both waste and cost. With these growth opportunities in mind, we have secured planning permission to increase production capacity at our Miskin site in South Wales, UK.
Thanks to our highly-skilled and committed people we have remained resilient throughout the pandemic and our financial position has strengthened further during the year. This, combined with our future opportunities and strategic objectives, gives us confidence in the long-term prospects of our business.

NOTES (FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS)
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
Renishaw plc (the Company) is a company incorporated in England and Wales. The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group) and equity account the Group's interest in associates and joint ventures.
The financial information set out in the announcement does not constitute the Group's statutory accounts for the years ended 30 June 2021 or 30 June 2020. The financial information for the year ended 30 June 2020 is derived from the statutory accounts for that year, which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor reported on those accounts; their report was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain a statement under s498 (2) or (3) Companies Act 2006. In respect of the year ended 30 June 2021, an unqualified auditor's report was signed on 21 October 2021. The statutory accounts will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following the Group's annual general meeting. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Company's functional currency and the Group's presentational currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (GBP'000).
The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Group financial statements. Judgements made by the Directors, in the application of these accounting policies, that have a significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are noted below.
Critical accounting judgements and estimation uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with adopted IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The areas of key estimation uncertainty and critical accounting judgement that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are summarised below, with further details included within accounting policies as indicated.
Item Key judgements (J) and estimates (E) ------------------------- ------------------------------------------- Cash flow hedges E - Estimates of highly probable forecasts of the hedged item Research and development J - Whether a project meets the criteria costs for capitalisation Goodwill and capitalised E - Estimates of future cash flows development costs for impairment testing Inventories E - Determination of net realisable value Defined benefit pension E - Valuation of defined benefit pension schemes schemes' liabilities Taxation E - Estimates of future profits to utilise deferred tax assets ------------------------- -------------------------------------------
New, revised or changes to existing accounting standards
The following accounting standard amendments became effective as at 1 January 2020 and have been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements, with effect from 1 July 2020:
- amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business;
- amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform;
- amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material;
- amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting; and
- amendments to IFRS 16 COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions.
These have not had a material impact on these financial statements.
Going concern
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors have adopted the going concern basis. The decision to adopt the going concern basis was made after considering:
- the Group's business model and key markets;
- the Group's risk management processes and principal risks;
- the Group's financial resources and strategies; and
- the process undertaken to review the Group's viability, including scenario testing which included considering the potential future impact of COVID-19 on the Group.
In the viability review the Directors assessed the period to 31 October 2024, using the 'highly probable' revenue forecasts used by the Group for hedge accounting, and 'severe but plausible' downside scenarios. In making the going concern assessment, the Directors used the same forecasts but assessed the period to 31 October 2022.
The scenarios were:
Base scenario - pessimistic revenue forecast from the Group's business plan, with overheads, capital expenditure, and other cash outflows following the route of the optimistic revenue forecast from the same business plan. Essentially, this means continuing to plan for the growth in the business plan, including the costs that would need to be incurred in the period to 31 October 2022 to achieve revenue growth in following years, while assuming that revenue growth is at the lowest end of our corporate view. The pessimistic revenue forecasts are used as the 'highly probable' revenue forecasts used in hedge accounting. For context, revenue in the first
year of the base scenario is a small increase over 2021's revenue of GBP565.6m.
The 'severe but plausible' scenarios then took the base scenario ('scenario 1') and considered the further effect of:
2) Supply-chain disruption causing a loss in revenue, due to not being able to fulfil all orders and some permanent loss of customers if this disruption caused them to move to our competitors;
3) Industry fluctuations and/or macroeconomic conditions causing revenue to significantly reduce;
4) Supply-chain disruption occurring at the same time as the industry fluctuations and/or macroeconomic conditions, combining scenarios 2 and 3;
5) Industry fluctuations and/or macroeconomic conditions causing revenue to significantly reduce, and also causing a significant deterioration in debtor days; and
6) Supply-chain disruption and economic uncertainty result in a significant rise in material costs, and therefore a fall in gross margin.
In all six scenarios, the Group had significant positive cash balances throughout the period to 31 October 2022.
For our other principal risks, no further separate scenarios were modelled. For risks such as People, Innovation strategy, and Capital allocation, the Directors felt that if these risks crystallised they would result in the restriction of longer-term growth rather than having a significant financial effect in the short term. For other principal risks, the Directors considered that the existing scenarios sufficiently modelled a range of outcomes, including what would happen if multiple risks crystallised at the same time, and that the outcomes of other risks crystallising would be no worse than the existing scenarios.
Emerging risks of climate change and changing work patterns have also been reviewed by the Directors when considering the impact and likelihood of principal risks crystallising.
We also performed reverse stress testing to identify what would need to happen in the period to 31 October 2022 to result in the Group having negative cash balances. We found that this would occur if revenue fell to GBP12m per month before mitigating actions were taken; this is considerably lower than forecast, and well below the lowest revenue months experienced in the height of the pandemic.
In making their going concern assessment, the Directors also considered the strong demand currently being experienced, and that the pandemic has accelerated trends such as digitisation, near-shoring, and remote working, which the business is well-placed to benefit from. The assessment further considered the strong working capital position, with cash and bank deposit balances of GBP215m at 30 June 2021.
Based on this assessment, incorporating a review of the current position, the scenarios, principal risks and mitigation, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period to 31 October 2022. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries - subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that are exercisable. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
Application of the equity method to associates and joint ventures - associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are initially recognised at cost. The Group's investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the total comprehensive income and equity movements of equity accounted investees, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the Group's carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations or made payments on behalf of an investee.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation - intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Foreign currencies
Consolidation - overseas subsidiaries' results are translated into Sterling at weighted average exchange rates for the year by translating each overseas subsidiary's monthly results at exchange rates applicable to each of the respective months. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into Sterling at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at that date. Differences on exchange resulting from the translation of overseas assets and liabilities are recognised in Other comprehensive income and are accumulated in equity.
Transactions and balances - monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported at the rates prevailing at the time, with any gain or loss arising from subsequent exchange rate movements being included as an exchange gain or loss in the Consolidated income statement. Foreign currency differences arising from transactions are recognised in the Consolidated income statement.
Separately disclosed items
The directors consider that certain items should be separately disclosed to aid users' understanding of the Group's performance.
Gains and losses from the fair value of financial instruments are therefore separately disclosed in the Consolidated income statement, where these gains and losses relate to certain forward currency contracts that are not effective for hedge accounting. Restructuring costs are also separately disclosed where significant costs have been incurred in rationalising and reorganising our business as part of a Board-approved strategy and relate to matters that do not frequently recur.
These items are also excluded from Adjusted profit before tax, Adjusted operating profit and Adjusted earnings per share measures, as explained in note 28 Alternative Performance Measures.
Alternative performance measures
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with adopted IFRS and applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. In measuring our performance, the financial measures that we use include those which have been derived from our reported results in order to eliminate factors which distort year-on-year comparisons.
These are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We believe this information, along with comparable GAAP measurements, is useful to stakeholders in providing a basis for measuring our operational performance. The Board use these financial measures, along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our performance (see note 28).
Revenue
The Group generates revenue from the sale of manufacturing technologies and analytical instruments and medical devices goods, capital equipment and services. These can be sold both on their own and together.
a) Sale of goods, capital equipment and services
The Group's contracts with customers consist both of contracts with one performance obligation and contracts with multiple performance obligations.
For contracts with one performance obligation, revenue is measured at the transaction price, which is typically the contract value except for customers entitled to volume rebates, and recognised at the point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer. This point in time is typically when the products are made available for collection by the customer, collected by the shipping agent, or delivered to the customer, depending upon the shipping terms applied to the specific contract.
Contracts with multiple performance obligations typically exist where, in addition to supplying product, we also supply services such as user training, servicing and maintenance, and installation services. Where the installation service is simple, does not include a significant integration service and could be performed by another party then the installation is accounted for as a separate performance obligation. Where the contracts include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling prices, the assessment of which is documented in the Key judgement. The revenue allocated to each performance obligation is then recognised when, or as, that performance obligation is satisfied. For installation, this is typically at the point in time in which installation is complete. For training, this is typically the point in time at which training is delivered. For servicing and maintenance, the revenue is recognised evenly over the course of the servicing agreement except for ad-hoc servicing and maintenance which is recognised at the point in time in which the work is undertaken.
b) Sale of software
The Group provides software licences and software maintenance to customers, sold both on their own and together with associated products. Where the software licence and/or maintenance is provided as part of a contract that provides customers with software licences and other goods and services then the transaction price is allocated on the same basis as described in a) above.
The Group's distinct software licences provide a right of use, and therefore revenue from software licences is recognised at the point in time in which the licence is supplied to the customer. Revenue from software maintenance is recognised evenly over the term of the maintenance agreement.
c) Extended warranties
The Group provides standard warranties to customers that address potential latent defects that existed at point of sale and as required by law (assurance-type warranties). In some contracts, the Group also provides warranties that extend beyond the standard warranty period and may be sold to the customer (service-type warranties).
Assurance-type warranties continue to be accounted for by the Group under IAS 37 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets'. Service-type warranties are accounted for as separate performance obligations and therefore a portion of the transaction price is allocated to this element, and then recognised evenly over the period in which the service is provided.
d) Contract balances
Contract assets represent the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that have been transferred to a customer, and mainly includes accrued revenue in respect of goods and services provided to a customer but not yet fully billed. Contract assets are distinct from receivables, which represent the Group's right to consideration that is unconditional.
Contract liabilities represent the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has either received consideration or consideration is due from the customer.
e) Disaggregation of revenue
The Group disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers between: goods, capital equipment and installation, and aftermarket services; reporting segment; and geographical location.
Management believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the Group's revenue is affected by economic factors.
Financial instruments and fair value measurements
The Group measures financial instruments such as forward exchange contracts at fair value at each balance sheet date in accordance with IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'. Fair value, as defined by IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement', is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Note 24, Financial instruments, provides detail on the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy.
Trade and other current receivables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently held at amortised cost less any provision for bad and doubtful debts and expected credit losses according to IFRS 9. Loans to associates and joint ventures are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently held at amortised cost. Trade and other current payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently held at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities in the form of loans are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently held at amortised cost. Financial liabilities are assessed for embedded derivatives and whether any such derivatives are closely related. If not closely related, such derivatives are accounted for at fair value in the Consolidated income statement.
Foreign currency derivative cash flow hedges
Foreign currency derivatives are used to manage risks arising from changes in foreign currency rates relating to overseas sales and foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The Group does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Foreign currency derivatives are stated at their fair value, being the estimated amount that the Group would pay or receive to terminate them at the balance sheet date, based on prevailing foreign currency rates.
Changes in the fair value of foreign currency derivatives which are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognised in Other comprehensive income and in the Cash flow hedging reserve, and subsequently transferred to the carrying amount of the hedged item or the Consolidated income statement. Realised gains or losses on cash flow hedges are therefore recognised in the Consolidated income statement within revenue in the same period as the hedged item.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument previously recognised in equity is retained in equity until the hedged transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is then transferred to the Consolidated income statement.
Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivatives, which are ineffective or do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting in IFRS 9, are recognised in the Consolidated income statement within Gains/losses from the fair value of financial instruments.
In addition to derivatives held for cash flow hedging purposes, the Group uses short-term derivatives not designated as hedging instruments to offset gains and losses from exchange rate movements on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. Gains and losses from currency movements on underlying assets and liabilities, realised gains and losses on these derivatives and fair value gains and losses on outstanding derivatives of this nature are all recognised in Financial income and expenses in the Consolidated income statement. See note 24 for further detail on financial instruments .
Key estimate - Estimates of highly probable forecasts of the hedged item
Derivatives are effective for hedge accounting to the extent that the hedged item is 'highly probable' to occur, with 'highly probable' indicating a much greater likelihood of occurrence than the term 'more likely than not'. Determining a highly probable sales forecast for Renishaw plc and Renishaw UK Sales Limited, being the hedged item, over a multiple year time period, requires judgement of the suitability of external and internal data sources and estimations of future sales. Relevant sensitivity analysis is included in note 24.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, and deposits with an original maturity of less than three months or with an original maturity date of more than three months where the deposit can be accessed on demand without significant penalty for early withdrawal and where the original deposit amount is recoverable in full.
Pension scheme cash escrow account
The Company holds a pension scheme escrow account as part of the security given for the UK defined benefit pension scheme. This account is shown within current assets in the Consolidated balance sheet as it may be used to settle pension scheme liabilities immediately upon enforcement of the charge over the account.
Goodwill and other intangible assets
Goodwill arising on acquisition represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired, net of deferred tax. Identifiable intangibles are those which can be sold separately or which arise from legal rights regardless of whether those rights are separable.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. It is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment or earlier if there are any indications of impairment. The annual impairment review involves comparing the carrying amount to the estimated recoverable amount and recognising an impairment loss if the recoverable amount is lower. Impairment losses are recognised in the Consolidated income statement.
Intangible assets such as customer lists, patents, trade marks, know-how and intellectual property that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is charged to the Consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets. The estimated useful lives of the intangible assets included in the Consolidated balance sheet reflect the benefit derived by the Group and vary from five to ten years.
Intangible assets - research and development costs
Expenditure on research activities is recognised in the Consolidated income statement as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on development activities is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group intends and has the technical ability and sufficient resources to complete development, future economic benefits are probable and the Group can measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditure is recognised in the Consolidated income statement as an expense as incurred.
Capitalised development expenditure is amortised over five years and is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and less accumulated impairment losses. Capitalised development expenditure is removed from the balance sheet ten years after being fully amortised.
Key judgement - Whether a project meets appropriate criteria for capitalisation
Product development costs are capitalised once a project has reached a certain stage of development and these costs are subsequently amortised over a five-year period. Costs are capitalised from the point the product has passed testing to demonstrate it meets the technical specifications of the project and it satisfies all applicable regulations. Judgements are required to assess whether the new product development has reached the appropriate point for capitalisation of costs to begin. Should a product be subsequently obsoleted, the accumulated capitalised development costs would need to be immediately written off in the Consolidated income statement.
Intangible assets - software licences
Intangible assets, comprising software licences that are acquired by the Group, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. The useful life of each of these assets is assessed on an individual basis and they range from two to 10 years.
Impairment of non-current assets
All non-current assets are tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that their carrying value may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated income statement to the extent that an asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, which represents the higher of the asset's net realisable value and its value in use. An asset's value in use represents the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset or from the cash-generating unit to which it relates. The present value is calculated using a discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset concerned.
Goodwill and capitalised development costs are subject to an annual impairment test.
Key estimate - Estimates of future cash flows used for impairment testing
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use of cash-generating units (CGUs) to which goodwill has been allocated. The value-in-use calculation involves an estimation of the future cash flows of CGUs and also the selection of appropriate discount rates, which involves judgement, to calculate present values (see note 12). Similarly, determining whether capitalised development costs are impaired requires an estimation of their value-in-use which involves significant judgement. Relevant sensitivity analysis is included in note 12.
Property, plant and equipment
Freehold land is not depreciated. Other assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of assets less their estimated residual value on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:
Freehold buildings 50 years, Plant and equipment 3 to 25 years, Vehicles 3 to 4 years.
Inventory and work in progress
Inventory and work in progress is valued at the lower of actual cost on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis and net realisable value. In respect of work in progress and finished goods, cost includes all production overheads and the attributable proportion of indirect overhead expenses that are required to bring inventories to their present location and condition. Overheads are absorbed into inventories on the basis of normal capacity or on actual hours if higher.
Key estimate - Determination of net realisable inventory value
Determining the net realisable value of inventory requires management to estimate future demand, especially in respect of provisioning for slow moving and potentially obsolete inventory. When calculating an inventory provision, management use historic usage levels (capped at 18 months), demand from customer orders and manufacturing build plans as a basis for estimating the future annual demand of individual stock items, except in the following instances:
- For key products and their components, provisions are typically made for quantities held in excess of three years' demand. A demand basis lower than three years is used for those key products and related components where the sales history is more volatile; and
- Where strategic purchases of critical components have been made, an outlook beyond three years is considered where appropriate.
Leases
As a lessee
At the lease commencement date the Group recognises a right-of-use asset for the leased item and a lease liability for any lease payments due.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, being the present value of the lease liability plus any initial costs incurred in entering the lease and less any lease incentives received. Right of use assets are subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the earlier of i) the end of the useful life of the asset, or ii) the end of the lease term.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of the applicable entity. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method and is remeasured if there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate (such as an inflation-linked increase), of if there is a change in the Group's assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or termination option. When this happens there is also a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
Where the Group enters into leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, these are treated as 'short-term' leases and are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in the Consolidated income statement. The same treatment applies to low-value assets, which are typically IT equipment and office equipment.
As a lessor
The Group acts as a lessor for Renishaw-manufactured plant and equipment and determines at inception whether the lease is a finance or an operating lease.
Where the Group transfers the risks and rewards of ownership of lease assets to a third party, the Group recognises a receivable in the amount of the net investment in the lease. The lease receivable is subsequently reduced by the principal received, while an interest component is recognised as financial income in the Consolidated income statement.
Where the Group retains the risks and rewards of ownership of lease assets, it continues to recognise the leased asset in Property, plant and equipment. Income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recognised as Revenue rather than Other revenue as such income is not material.
Employee benefits
The Group operates contributory pension schemes, largely for UK, Ireland and USA employees, which were of the defined benefit type up to 5 April 2007, 31 December 2007 and 30 June 2012 respectively, at which time they ceased any future accrual for existing members and were closed to new members.
The schemes are administered by trustees who are independent of the Group finances. Investment assets of the defined benefit schemes are measured at fair value using the bid price of the unitised investments, quoted by the investment manager, at the reporting date. Pension scheme liabilities are measured using a projected unit method and discounted at the current rate of return on a high-quality corporate bond of equivalent term and currency to the liability. Remeasurements arising from defined benefit schemes comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on scheme assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest). The Company recognises them immediately in Other comprehensive income and all other expenses related to defined benefit schemes are included in the Consolidated income statement.
The pension schemes' surpluses, to the extent that they are considered recoverable, or deficits are recognised in full and presented on the face of the Consolidated balance sheet under Employee benefits. Where a guarantee is in place in relation to a pension scheme deficit, liabilities are reported in accordance with IFRIC 14 'The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction'. To the extent that contributions payable will not be available as a refund after they are paid into the plan, a liability is recognised at the point the obligation arises, which is the point at which the minimum funding guarantee is agreed. Overseas-based employees are covered by state, defined benefit and private pension schemes in their countries of residence. Actuarial valuations of overseas pension schemes were not obtained, apart from Ireland and USA, because of the low number of members. For defined contribution schemes, the amount charged to the Consolidated income statement represents the contributions payable to the schemes in respect of the accounting period.
Accruals are made for holiday pay, based on a calculation of the number of days holiday earned during the year, but not yet taken, and also for annual performance bonuses, if applicable.
Key estimate - Valuation of defined benefit pension schemes' liabilities
Determining the value of the future defined benefit obligation requires estimation in respect of the assumptions used to determine the present values. These include future mortality, discount rate and inflation. Management makes these estimates in consultation with independent actuaries. Details of the estimates in respect of the current year are given in note 22. Based on a review of the terms of the UK scheme trust deed, management has concluded that there are no likely circumstances which would result in the Company having an unconditional right to a refund in the event of a fund surplus. Relevant sensitivity analysis is included in note 22.
Share-based payments
The Group provides share-based payment arrangements to certain employees in accordance with the Renishaw plc deferred annual equity incentive plan (the Plan) (see the Governance section for further detail). The share awards are subject only to continuing service of the employee and are equity settled. The fair value of the awards at the date of grant, which is estimated to be equal to the market value, is charged to the Consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over a three-year vesting period, with appropriate adjustments made to reflect expected or actual forfeitures. The corresponding credit is to Other reserve. The Renishaw Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) is responsible for purchasing shares on the open market on behalf of the Company to satisfy the Plan awards. Own shares held are recognised as an element in equity until they are transferred at the end of the vesting period, and such shares are excluded from earnings per share calculations.
Warranty provisions
The Group provides a warranty from the date of purchase, except for those products that are installed by the Group where the warranty starts from the date of completion of the installation. This is typically for a 12-month period, although up to three years is given for a small number of products. A warranty provision is included in the Group financial statements, which is calculated on the basis of historical returns and internal quality reports.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised in the Consolidated income statement as a deduction against expenditure. Where grants are received in advance of the related expenses, they are initially recognised in the Consolidated balance sheet and released to match the related expenditure. Where grants are expected to be received after the related expenditure has occurred, and there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the grant conditions, amounts are recognised to offset the expenditure and an asset recognised.
Taxation
Tax on the profit for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in Other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and expense. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in previous years.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit other than in a business combination; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Key estimate - Estimates of future profits to support the recognition of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits (including the future release of deferred tax liabilities) will be available, against which the deductible temporary differences can be used, based on management's assumptions relating to the amounts and timing of future taxable profits. Estimates of future profitability on an entity basis are required to ascertain whether it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will arise to support the recognition of deferred tax assets relating to the corresponding entity. Relevant sensitivity analysis is included in note 9.
2. SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS
The Group manages its business in two segments, comprising manufacturing technologies (previously metrology) and analytical instruments and medical devices (previously healthcare). Within the operating segments, there are multiple product offerings with similar economic characteristics, similar production processes and similar customer bases. The results of these segments are regularly reviewed by the Board to allocate resources and to assess their performance.
During the year, we used the launch of our purpose, vision and strategy to rename our operating segments to better reflect the business. Our Manufacturing technologies business consists of industrial metrology, position measurement and additive manufacturing (AM) product lines, while our Analytical instruments and medical devices business consists of spectroscopy, neurological and medical dental product lines.
More details of the Group's products and services are given in the Strategic report.

Amounts recognised as 'Government grants - employment support' relate to non-UK schemes in 2021 and mostly related to the UK Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme in 2020. The 2021 net amount of GBP989,000 includes GBP1,900,000 that was received in the year in relation to the UK Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, and repaid in the same period.
The average number of persons employed by the Group during the year was:

Full details of Directors' remuneration are given in the Directors' remuneration report
4. COST OF SALES
Included in cost of sales are the following amounts:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 ----------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Production costs 197,805 184,326 ----------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Research and development expenditure 58,618 66,614 Other engineering expenditure 18,019 15,755 ----------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Gross engineering expenditure 76,637 82,369 ----------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Development expenditure capitalised (net of amortisation) (825) (544) Development expenditure impaired (see note 12) 1,092 9,881 Research and development tax credit (4,857) (4,399) ----------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Total engineering costs 72,047 87,307 ----------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Total cost of sales 269,852 271,633 ----------------------------------------------------------- -------- --------
Research and development expenditure includes the payroll costs, material costs and allocated overheads attributed to projects identified as being related to new products or processes. Other engineering expenditure includes the payroll costs, material costs and allocated overheads attributed to projects identified as being related to existing products or processes.
Development expenditure impaired in 2020 excluded amounts relating to Restructuring costs in that period.
5. FINANCIAL INCOME AND EXPENSES 2021 2020 Financial income GBP'000 GBP'000 ----------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Fair value gains from one-month forward 2,781 - currency contracts (note 24) Bank interest receivable 625 913 ----------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Total financial income 3,406 913 ----------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Financial expenses Net interest on pension schemes' liabilities (note 22) 876 861 Currency losses 2,660 2,433 Fair value losses from one-month forward currency contracts (note 24) - 154 Lease interest 335 765 Interest payable on borrowings 69 78 Other interest payable 51 549 ----------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Total financial expenses 3,991 4,840 ----------------------------------------------- -------- --------
Currency losses relate to revaluations of foreign currency-denominated balances using latest reporting currency exchange rates. The losses recognised in 2021 largely related to an appreciation of Sterling relative to the US dollar affecting US dollar-denominated intragroup balances in the Company.
Certain intragroup balances are classified as 'net investments in foreign operations', such that revaluations from currency movements on designated balances accumulate in the Currency translation reserve in Equity. Rolling one-month forward currency contracts are used to offset currency movements on remaining intragroup balances, with fair value gains and losses being recognised in financial income or expenses. See note 24 for further details
6. PROFIT BEFORE TAX
Included in the profit before tax are the following costs:
Notes 2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 ------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- Depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets (a) 28,780 33,168 Loss on sale of property, plant and equipment (a) 31 22 Amortisation and impairment of intangible assets (a) 11,316 36,716 Impairment of investment in associates and joint ventures (b) 1,674 257 Impairment of long-term loans to associates and joint ventures (b) 2,633 1,297 Auditor: Audit of these financial statements (b) 403 293 Audit of subsidiary undertakings pursuant to legislation (b) 458 398 Other assurance (b) 12 12 All other non-audit fees (b) - 3 -------------------------------------------------- --------- -------- --------
These costs can be found under the following headings in the Consolidated income statement: (a) within cost of sales, distribution costs and administrative expenses and (b) within administrative expenses.
7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated on earnings of GBP111,459,000 (2020: GBP288,000) and on 72,778,904 shares (2020: 72,778,904 shares), being the number of shares in issue. The number of shares excludes 9,639 shares held by the EBT, which were purchased on 10 December 2018.
There is no difference between the weighted average earnings per share and the basic and diluted earnings per share.
For the calculation of adjusted earnings per share, per note 28, earnings of GBP111,459,000 (2020: GBP288,000) are adjusted by post-tax amounts for Fair value (gains)/losses on financial instruments not eligible for hedge accounting (reported in Revenue), Fair value (gains)/losses on financial instruments not eligible for hedge accounting (reported in Gains/(losses) from the fair value of financial instruments) and costs relating to the formal sales process, amounting to GBP825,000 gain, GBP17,802,000 gain and GBP3,222,000 loss respectively.
8. INCOME TAX EXPENSE 2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 --------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Current tax: UK corporation tax on profits for the year 7,535 - UK corporation tax - prior year adjustments (4,376) 333 Overseas tax on profits for the year 13,237 9,236 Overseas tax - prior year adjustments 27 (89) ---------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Total current tax 16,423 9,480 ---------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Deferred tax: ---------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Origination and reversal of temporary differences 7,692 (9,349) Prior year adjustments 4,438 (185) Derecognition of previously recognised tax losses and excess interest - 2,953 Recognition of previously unrecognised tax losses and excess interest (3,909) (1,127) Effect on deferred tax for changes in tax rates 3,336 1,148 ---------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- 11,557 (6,560) Tax charge on profit 27,980 2,920 ---------------------------------------------------- -------- --------
Prior year adjustments mainly relate to carry back of losses, with a current tax credit offset by a deferred tax charge.
The tax for the year is higher (2020: higher) than the UK standard rate of corporation tax of 19% (2020: 19%).
The differences are explained as follows:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 --------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Profit before tax 139,439 3,208 --------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Tax at 19% (2020: 19%) 26,493 610 Effects of: Different tax rates applicable in overseas subsidiaries (150) (312) Expenses not deductible for tax purposes 1,817 576 Companies with unrelieved tax losses 100 189 Share of profits of associates and joint ventures (320) (85) Items with no tax effect (386) (596) Prior year adjustments 89 58 Effect on deferred tax for changes in tax rates 3,336 1,148 Recognition of previously unrecognised tax losses and excess interest (3,909) (1,127) Derecognition of previously recognised tax losses and excess interest - 2,953 Use of unrecognised losses (162) (399) Irrecoverable withholding tax 1,052 - Other differences 20 (95) Tax charge on profit 27,980 2,920 --------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Effective tax rate 20.1% 91.0% --------------------------------------------------------- -------- --------
The Group's future effective tax rate (ETR) will mainly depend on the geographic mix of profits and whether there are any changes to tax legislation in the Group's most significant countries of operations. In the Spring Budget 2021, the UK Government announced that from 1 April 2023 the UK corporation tax rate will increase to 25%, rather than remaining at 19%, which has resulted in a deferred tax charge of GBP3,336,000. This has been more than offset by the recognition of deferred tax assets totalling GBP3,909,000, which has mostly arisen from increased confidence over the recoverability of a portion of previously unrecognised losses and excess interest against future taxable profits in our US business. The increased confidence arises from a recovery in trading conditions and cost reductions following restructuring activities in 2020 (see note 29).
9. DEFERRED TAX
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right of offset and there is an intention to net settle the balances. After taking these offsets into account, the net position of GBP10,890,000 asset (2020: GBP39,142,000 asset) is presented as a GBP21,292,000 deferred tax asset (2020: GBP39,641,000 asset) and a GBP10,402,000 deferred tax liability (2020: GBP499,000 liability) in the Consolidated balance sheet. Where deferred tax assets are recognised, the Directors are of the opinion, based on recent and forecast trading, that the level of profits in current and future years make it more likely than not that these assets will be recovered.
It is likely that the majority of unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries would qualify for the UK dividend exemption. However, GBP43,858,000 of those earnings may still result in a tax liability principally as a result of withholding taxes levied by the overseas jurisdictions in which those subsidiaries operate. The tax liabilities for the earnings for which management intend to repatriate in the foreseeable future are not material and consequently no deferred tax liability has been recognised.
Balances at the end of the year were:
2021 2020 ------------------------- --------------------------------- --------------------------------- Assets Liabilities Net Assets Liabilities Net GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 ------------------------- -------- ------------ --------- -------- ------------ --------- Property, plant and equipment 425 (17,546) (17,121) 306 (14,234) (13,928) Intangible assets - (2,609) (2,609) - (1,264) (1,264) Intragroup trading (inventories) 14,539 - 14,539 14,249 (289) 13,960 Intragroup trading (fixed assets) 1,252 - 1,252 2,071 - 2,071 Defined benefit pension schemes 4,548 (201) 4,347 11,951 (55) 11,896 Derivatives - (2,930) (2,930) 6,344 - 6,344 Tax losses 8,365 - 8,365 14,077 - 14,077 Other 5,083 (36) 5,047 6,023 (37) 5,986 Balance at the end of the year 34,212 (23,322) 10,890 55,021 (15,879) 39,142 ------------------------- -------- ------------ --------- -------- ------------ ---------
Other deferred tax assets include timing differences relating to inventory provisions totalling GBP2,001,000 (2020: GBP1,876,000), other provisions (including bad debt provisions) of GBP683,000 (2020: GBP1,628,000), employee benefits relating to Renishaw KK of GBP668,000 (2020: GBP731,000), and uniform capitalisation relating to Renishaw, Inc. of GBP117,000 (2020: GBP729,000), with the remaining balance relating to a number of other temporary differences.
The movements in the deferred tax balance during the year were:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 ---------------------------------------------- ---- --------- -------- Balance at the beginning of the year 39,142 29,316 Reallocation from current tax - 163 Movements in the Consolidated income statement (11,557) 6,560 ---------------------------------------------------- --------- -------- Movement in relation to the cash flow hedging reserve (9,790) (1,978) Movement in relation to the currency translation reserve 902 (403) Movement in relation to the defined benefit pension schemes (7,705) 5,484 ---------------------------------------------------- --------- -------- Total movement in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and expense (16,593) 3,103 Currency translation (102) - Balance at the end of the year 10,890 39,142 ---------------------------------------------------- --------- --------
The deferred tax movement in the Consolidated income statement is analysed as:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 ----------------------------------- --------- -------- Property, plant and equipment (3,193) (847) Intangible assets (1,345) 1,230 Intragroup trading (inventories) 579 (2,725) Intragroup trading (fixed assets) (819) (238) Defined benefit pension schemes 156 (2,114) Derivatives (2,185) (494) Tax losses (5,712) 10,822 Other 926 926 ------------------------------------ --------- -------- Total movement for the year (11,557) 6,560 ------------------------------------ --------- --------
The Company has partially used the tax losses incurred in 2020 by way of loss carry back and offset against 2021 profits, reducing the deferred tax asset in respect of losses from GBP11,225,000 at 30 June 2020 to GBP3,299,000 at 30 June 2021. It is considered likely that the Company will generate sufficient future taxable profits to recognise the remaining deferred tax asset in full, as losses made in 2020 included a number of costs such as restructuring costs per note 29, which are unlikely to reoccur in future years, while the Company reported a profit before tax of GBP54,771,000 in 2021 (excluding intragroup dividends received). Further deferred tax assets of GBP5,066,000 in respect of losses are recognised across other Group companies where it is considered likely that the business will generate sufficient future taxable profits.
Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of tax losses carried forward of GBP4,459,000 (2020: GBP20,930,000), due to uncertainty over their offset against future taxable profits and therefore their recoverability. These losses are held by Group companies in Switzerland, Brazil and Australia. Losses in Switzerland (46%) expire by 2023, while there are no time limitations to the remainder.
In determining profit forecasts for each Group company, revenue forecasts have been estimated using consistently applied external and internal data sources, which is the key variable in the profit forecasts. Sensitivity analysis indicates that a reduction of 5% to relevant revenue forecasts would result in an impairment to deferred tax assets recognised in respect of losses and intragroup trading (inventories) of less than GBP300,000, while an increase of 5% would result in additions to deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses not recognised of less than GBP100,000.

Goodwill
Goodwill has arisen on the acquisition of a number of businesses and has an indeterminable useful life. It is therefore not amortised but is instead tested for impairment annually and at any point during the year when an indicator of impairment exists. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units (CGUs), which are either the statutory entities acquired or the group-wide product line. This is the lowest level in the Group at which goodwill is monitored for impairment and is at a lower level than the Group's operating segments.
The analysis of acquired goodwill on consolidation is:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 ----------------------------------- -------- -------- itp GmbH 2,959 3,148 Renishaw Mayfield S.A. 1,873 2,039 Renishaw Fixturing Solutions, LLC 5,018 5,585 Other smaller acquisitions 655 718 Total acquired goodwill 10,505 11,490 ------------------------------------ -------- --------
The recoverable amounts of acquired goodwill are based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on either the financial business plans approved by management for the next five financial years, or estimated growth rates over the five years, which are set out below. The cash flows beyond this forecast are extrapolated to perpetuity using a nil growth rate on a prudent basis, to reflect the uncertainties over forecasting beyond five years.
The following discount rates have been used in discounting the projected cash flows:
2021 2020 Business acquired CGU Discount Discount rate rate -------------------- ---------------------------- --------- --------- itp GmbH itp GmbH entity ('ITP') 10.6% 8% Renishaw Fixturing Renishaw fixturing product Solutions, LLC line ('RFS') 10.2% 8% Renishaw Mayfield Renishaw Mayfield S.A. S.A. entity ('Mayfield') 21.4% 15% -------------------- ---------------------------- --------- ---------
The Group post-tax weighted average cost of capital, calculated at 30 June 2021, is 8% (2020: 8%). Pre-tax discount rates for Manufacturing technologies CGUs (ITP and RFS) are calculated from this basis, given that they are aligned with the wider Group's industries, markets and processes. The Analytical instruments and medical devices CGU (Mayfield) has a higher risk weighting, reflecting the less mature nature of this segment. This risk weighting is unchanged from 2020.
An increase of 5% in the discount rates would result in an impairment of around GBP2m in the RFS CGU. For there to be an impairment in the ITP or Mayfield CGUs the discount rate would need to increase to at least 42% and 98% respectively. Management deems the likelihood of these increases to be unlikely.
The following bases have been used in determining cash flow projections:
2021 2020 CGU Basis of forecast Basis of forecast ------------------------------ ------------------- ------------------- itp GmbH entity five-year business 5% growth rate plan Renishaw Fixturing product five-year business five-year business line plan plan Renishaw Mayfield S.A. entity five-year business five-year business plan plan ------------------------------ ------------------- -------------------
These 5-year business plans are considered prudent estimates based on management's view of the future and experience of past performance of the individual CGUs, and are calculated at a disaggregated level. Within these plans, revenue forecasts are calculated with reference to external market data, Renishaw past outperformance, and new product launches, consistent with revenue forecasts across the Group. Production costs, engineering costs, distribution costs and administrative expenses are calculated based on management's best estimates of what is required to support revenue growth and new product development. Estimates of capital expenditure and working capital requirements are also included in the cash flow projections.
The key estimate within these business plans is the forecasting of revenue growth, given that the cost bases of the businesses can be flexed in line with revenue performance. Given the average revenue growth assumptions included in the five-year business plans, management's sensitivity analysis involves modelling a reduction in the forecast cash flows utilised in those business plans and therefore into perpetuity. For there to be an impairment there would need to be a reduction to these forecast cash flows of 80% for ITP, 10% for RFS and 83% for Mayfield. Management deems the likelihood of these reductions to be unlikely.
Internally generated development costs
The key assumption in determining the value-in-use for internally generated development costs is the forecast unit sales over five years, which is determined by management using their knowledge and experience with similar products and the sales history of products already available in the market. Resulting cash flow projections over five years, the period over which product demand forecasts can be reasonably predicted and internally generated development costs are written off, are discounted using pre-tax discount rates, which are calculated from the Group post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 8% (2020: 8%).
Impairments of internally generated development costs in the year totalled GBP1,092,000 (2020: GBP15,881,000), resulting from an increase in the forecast of ongoing support costs of one project. This was accounted for in Cost of sales in the Consolidated income statement and relates to the Manufacturing technologies segment.
For the largest projects, comprising over 95% of the net book value at 30 June 2021, a 10% reduction to forecast unit sales, or an increase in the discount rate by 5%, would result in a further impairment of less than GBP500,000.
13. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES
The Group's investments in associates and joint ventures (all investments being in the ordinary share capital of the associate and joint ventures), whose accounting years end on 30 June, except where noted otherwise, were:
Country of Ownership Ownership incorporation and principal place of business --------------------------------------------------------- 2021 2020 -------------------------------------- ----------------- % % -------------------------------------- ----------------- ---------- ---------- RLS Merilna tehnika d.o.o. ('RLS') - joint venture Slovenia 50.0 50.0 Metrology Software Products Limited ('MSP') - joint venture England & Wales 70.0 50.0 HiETA Technologies Limited ('HiETA') (31 December) - associate England & Wales 33.3 33.3 -------------------------------------- ----------------- ---------- ----------
On 28 June 2021 Renishaw acquired an additional 20% shareholding in MSP, a pre-existing joint venture company, with cash consideration of GBP749,000. Following the transaction, the Group owns 70% of the ordinary share capital of MSP, and continues to equity account for MSP as a joint venture as the 'control' requirements of IFRS 10 are not satisfied. This is primarily because under the terms of the pre-existing and unchanged shareholders agreement, dated 8 September 2005, for so long as the Group's holding is less than 75% of the total shares of MSP, Renishaw agrees to exercise its voting rights such that it only votes as if it has the same aggregate shareholding as the remaining Management Shareholders.
Movements during the year were:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 --------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Balance at the beginning of the year 16,604 13,095 Additions 749 4,299 Dividends received - (512) Share of profits of associates and joint ventures 1,683 841 Impairment (1,674) (1,306) Exchange differences (728) 187 Balance at the end of the year 16,634 16,604 --------------------------------------------------- -------- --------
A revision to HiETA's five-year business plan at 30 June 2021, in light of the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on certain industries, has resulted in an impairment to Renishaw's investment of GBP1,674,000. This has also resulted in additional and full impairment of a long-term loan of GBP2,633,000 and a finance lease impairment of GBP397,000. These have been accounted for in Administrative expenses in the Consolidated income statement. Other Short-term loans to associates and joint ventures of GBP598,000 relate to RLS.
Long-term and short-term loans to associates and joint ventures are tested for impairment using discounted cash flow projections at each reporting period, according to five-year business plans approved by management, or where there are indicators of impairment.
Summarised aggregated financial information for associates and joint ventures:

LEASES (as lessor)
The Group acts as lessor for Renishaw manufactured plant and equipment on both an operating and finance lease basis.
Where the Group retains the risks and rewards of ownership of leased assets, it continues to recognise the leased asset in Property, plant and equipment, while the lease payments made during the term of the operating lease are recognised in Revenue (2021: GBP582,000 and 2020: GBP1,183,000). Operating leases are on one to four year terms. The total of future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable operating leases were:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 ------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- Receivable in less than one year 361 742 Receivable between one and five years 306 152 Total future minimum lease payments receivable 667 894 ------------------------------------------------ -------- --------
Where the Group transfers the risks and rewards of ownership of leased assets to a third party, the Group recognises a receivable in the amount of the net investment in the lease in Finance lease receivables. The lease receivable is subsequently reduced by the principal received, while an interest component is recognised as financial income in the Consolidated income statement. Standard contract terms are up to five years and there is a nominal residual value receivable at the end of the contract.
The total future lease payments are split between the principal and interest amounts below:
2021 2020 ------------ ----------- --------------- ------------ ----------- --------------- Gross Net investment Gross Net investment investment Interest GBP'000 investment Interest GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 ---------------------------- ------------ ----------- --------------- ------------ ----------- --------------- Receivable in less than one year 1,919 156 1,763 2,113 131 1,982 Receivable between one and two years 2,641 215 2,426 2,226 138 2,088 Receivable between two and three years 2,129 173 1,956 1,758 109 1,649 Receivable between three and four years 1,365 111 1,254 1,053 65 988 Receivable between four and five years 696 91 605 81 5 76 ---------------------------- ------------ ----------- --------------- ------------ ----------- --------------- Total future minimum lease payments receivable 8,750 746 8,004 7,231 448 6,783 ---------------------------- ------------ ----------- --------------- ------------ ----------- --------------- 15. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Bank deposits
Bank deposits at the end of the year amounted to GBP120,000,000 (2020: GBP10,000,000), of which GBP20,000,000 matures on 29 July 2021, GBP20,000,000 matures on 15 September 2021, GBP40,000,000 matures on 16 September 2021, and GBP40,000,000 is on a 90-day notice account.
Cash and cash equivalents
An analysis of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year was:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 -------------------------------- -------- -------- Bank balances and cash in hand 93,514 108,609 Short-term deposits 1,494 1,777 Balance at the end of the year 95,008 110,386 --------------------------------- -------- --------
Amounts held on bank deposit, where the original term exceeds three months, and the UK defined benefit pension scheme cash escrow account are shown separately within current assets.
16. INVENTORIES
An analysis of inventories at the end of the year was:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 -------------------------------- -------- -------- Raw materials 38,973 37,717 Work in progress 21,750 18,737 Finished goods 52,840 49,043 Balance at the end of the year 113,563 105,497 --------------------------------- -------- --------
During the year, the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the Consolidated income statement was GBP177,963,000 (2020: GBP169,769,000) and the amount of write-down of inventories recognised as an expense in the Consolidated income statement was GBP269,000 (2020: GBP7,473,000). At the end of the year, the gross cost of inventories which had provisions held against them totalled GBP17,389,000 (2020: GBP21,133,000).
17. PROVISIONS
Warranty provision movements during the year were:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 -------------------------------------- -------- -------- Balance at the beginning of the year 5,591 2,846 Created during the year 2,500 5,308 Utilised in the year (1,832) (2,563) -------------------------------------- -------- -------- 668 2,745 Balance at the end of the year 6,259 5,591 -------------------------------------- -------- --------
The warranty provision has been calculated on the basis of historical return-in-warranty information and other internal reports. It is expected that most of this expenditure will be incurred in the next financial year and all expenditure will be incurred within three years of the balance sheet date. Included within the warranty provision is GBP4,200,000 (2020: GBP3,400,000) where the warranty cost has been reassessed to be the cost of replacing certain AM machines where the business will not have the capability to honour the warranty on these machines going forward as a result of restructuring activities in 2020. As we will not have the ability to repair or maintain these machines, the warranty cost reflects the cost of replacing these machines. It was expected that these warranty costs would be incurred in 2021, however the replacement product is now expected to be available in early 2022.
18. CONTRACT LIABILITIES Movements during the year were: 2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 -------------------------------------- -------- -------- Balance at the beginning of the year 5,976 5,631 Released to revenue (3,893) (3,802) Arising in year 3,864 4,100 Currency translation 173 47 -------------------------------------- -------- -------- Balance at the end of the year 6,120 5,976 -------------------------------------- -------- --------
The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied at the end of the year is GBP6,120,000 (2020: GBP7,416,000). Of this, GBP1,682,000 (2020: GBP1,489,000) is not expected to be recognised in 2022.
19. OTHER PAYABLES
Balances at the end of the year were:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 ----------------------------------- -------- -------- Payroll taxes and social security 7,924 5,833 Performance bonuses 13,208 - Other creditors and accruals 30,584 28,539 Total other payables 51,716 34,372 ------------------------------------ -------- --------
Other creditors and accruals includes GBP2,114,000 (2020: GBPnil) relating to outstanding third-party fees relating to the 2021 formal sales process ('FSP'), GBP7,287,000 (2020: GBP3,087,000) of receivables in payable positions where there is no right of offset, GBP7,200,000 (2020: GBP7,003,000) of holiday pay and retirement accruals, and a number of other smaller accruals.
20. LEASES (as lessee)
The Group acts as lessee for land and buildings, plant and equipment, and vehicles and recognises leases as a liability in the Consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding amount recognised as a right-of-use asset.
Lease liabilities are analysed as below:

BORROWINGS
Third-party borrowings at 30 June 2021 consist of a five year loan entered into on 31 May 2019 by Renishaw KK to purchase a new property, with original principal of JPY 1,447,000,000 (GBP10,486,000). Principal of JPY 12,000,000 is repayable each month, with a fixed interest rate of 0.81% also paid on monthly accretion. The residual principal at 31 May 2024 of JPY 739,000,000 can either be repaid in full at that time, or extended for another five years. Additionally, a Renishaw (Korea) Limited property loan, which had a balance of GBP1,908,000 at 30 June 2020, was increased by GBP636,000 and fully repaid during the year.
Borrowings are held at amortised cost. There is no significant difference between the book value and fair value of borrowings, which is estimated by discounting contractual future cash flows, which represents level 2 of the fair value hierarchy defined in note 24.
Movements during the year were:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 --------------------------------- -------- -------- Balance at the beginning of the year 11,543 10,399 Additions 636 1,894 Interest 69 78 Repayments (3,477) (1,136) Currency adjustment (1,322) 308 Balance at the end of the year 7,449 11,543 ---------------------------------- -------- -------- 22. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Group operates defined benefit pension schemes for several Group companies. As noted in the accounting policies, actuarial valuations of overseas pension schemes have not been obtained, except for the schemes relating to Renishaw Ireland (DAC) and Renishaw, Inc. ('the Irish scheme' and 'the US scheme' respectively).
The largest scheme, which covers qualifying UK-based employees, is also of the defined benefit type. This scheme, together with the Irish scheme and the US scheme, are closed to new members and have ceased any future accrual for existing members. These employees are now covered by defined contribution schemes.
The total pension cost of the Group for the year was GBP19,759,000 (2020: GBP21,103,000), of which GBP111,000 (2020: GBP136,000) related to Directors and GBP5,256,000 (2020: GBP5,253,000) related to overseas schemes.
The latest full actuarial valuation of the UK defined benefit pension scheme was carried out as at 30 September 2018 and updated to 30 June 2021 by a qualified independent actuary. The mortality assumption used for 2021 is the S2PxA base tables and CMI 2020 model, with long-term improvements of 1% per annum. Adjustments have been made to both the core base tables and CMI 2020 model to allow for the scheme's membership profile and best estimate assumptions of future mortality improvements.
Major assumptions used by actuaries for the UK, Ireland and US schemes were:

Equities are held in externally-managed funds and primarily relate to UK and US equities. Credit and fixed income funds, fixed interest gilts, and index linked gilts relate to UK, US and Eurozone government-linked securities, again held in externally-managed funds. The fair values of these equity and fixed income instruments are determined using the bid price of the unitised investments, quoted by the investment manager, at the reporting date and therefore represent 'Level 2' of the fair value hierarchy defined in note 24.
Multi-asset funds are also held in externally-managed funds, with active asset allocation to diversify growth across asset classes such as equities, bonds and money-market instruments. The fair value of these funds is determined on a comparable basis to the equity and fixed income funds, and therefore are also 'Level 2' assets.
No scheme assets are directly invested in the Group's own equity.
The UK scheme is closed for future accrual and is expected to mature over the coming years, and therefore while the focus of the investment strategy remains on growth the trustees intend to start gradually de-risking the investments where (and when) appropriate.
The overall target investment strategy for the UK scheme for the period to 30 June 2021 was to hold 61% of investment assets in equities, 34% in diversified growth funds and 5% in fixed income. Contributions over the year were predominantly invested in buy and maintain credit, bringing the current actual allocation up to 6% of assets. Remaining contributions have been held in a cash fund, pending investment into a multi-asset credit mandate.
The movements in the schemes' assets and liabilities were:

In November 2020 the High Court of England and Wales issued a supplementary ruling in the Lloyds Bank GMP equalisation case with respect to members that have transferred out of their scheme prior to the ruling. The result of this means that Trustees are obliged to make transfer payments that reflect equalised benefits and are required to make top up payments where this was not the case in the past, and a defined benefit pension scheme that received a transfer is concurrently obliged to provide equalised benefits in respect of the transfer payments. We determined an estimated cost of the impact of this ruling for the UK fund of GBP78,000, which has been recognised through Administrative expenses in the Consolidated income statement as a past service cost.
The analysis of the amount recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and expense was:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 -------------------------------------------------------- --------- --------- Actuarial gain/(loss) arising from: - Changes in demographic assumptions (2,669) (682) - Changes in financial assumptions 4,643 (22,402) - Experience adjustment 2,631 1,648 - Adjustment related to the application of revaluation 14,300 - and late retirement factors Return on plan assets excluding interest income 36,823 (2,542) Adjustment for the asset ceiling (3,280) - Adjustment to liabilities for IFRIC 14 (19,163) - Total amount recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and expense 33,285 (23,978) -------------------------------------------------------- --------- ---------
The cumulative amount of actuarial gains and losses recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and expense was a loss of GBP91,497,000 (2020: loss of GBP124,782,000).
The total deficit of the Group's defined benefit pension schemes, on an IAS 19 basis (excluding the asset ceiling and IFRIC 14 adjustments), has decreased from GBP64,895,000 at 30 June 2020 to GBP1,254,000 at 30 June 2021, primarily reflecting the net impact of:
- an increase in the discount rate of the UK scheme;
- an increase in RPI for the UK and Irish schemes;
- an increase in CPI for the UK scheme;
- strong performance of the investment assets of the UK, Irish and US schemes; and
- an adjustment relating to the application of revaluation and late retirement factors, which is discussed further below.
For the UK scheme, the latest actuarial report prepared in September 2018 shows a deficit of GBP70,700,000, which is based on funding to self-sufficiency and uses prudent assumptions. IAS 19 requires best estimate assumptions to be used, resulting in the IAS 19 deficit being lower than the actuarial deficit.
For the UK defined benefit scheme, a guide to the sensitivity of the value of the respective liabilities is as follows:
Approximate Variation effect on liabilities ---------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- UK - discount rate Increase/decrease by -GBP21.2m/+GBP24.4m 0.5% UK - future inflation Increase/decrease by +GBP20.3m/-GBP17.1m 0.5% UK - mortality Increased/decreased +GBP9.2m/-GBP8.9m life by one year ---------------------- --------------------- ----------------------
In October 2020, the Trustees of the UK defined benefit scheme notified the Company of a difference between the calculated estimate of liabilities in the scheme for administration purposes and for accounting purposes. Differing legal interpretations of the Trust Deed and Rules were subsequently concluded by legal firms instructed by the Trustees and the Company, mostly relating to the period over which revaluation and late retirement factors are applied, with significant differences between the firms in the financial impact noted. Consequently, in April 2021, the Trustees and the Company jointly instructed Queen's Counsel to opine on a legal interpretation of the Trust Deed and Rules that both parties would accept. This resulted in another interpretation of the Trust Deed and Rules which is now the accepted legal position, with a GBP14,300,000 reduction in liabilities calculated on this basis. This change in liability estimate in the year relates to benefits for some members payable in future years, and has
been accounted for within the 'Remeasurement of defined benefit pension scheme liabilities' line item in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and expense.
A deficit funding plan for the UK defined benefit pension scheme was agreed with The Pensions Regulator in 2018, which superseded all previous arrangements. The Company agreed to pay GBP8,700,000 per annum into the scheme for five years with effect from 1 October 2018.
The present value of the expected payments under the plan at 30 June 2021 totalled GBP19,163,000, which compares to the IAS 19 pension scheme surplus of GBP3,280,000 at 30 June 2021. As such, an adjustment of GBP3,280,000 has been recognised in respect of the asset ceiling restriction, on the basis that the surplus is not deemed to be recoverable, and GBP19,163,000 has been recognised in accordance with IFRIC 14, to present a net liability position of GBP19,163,000. At 30 June 2020, the IAS 19 deficit was higher than the present value of expected payments, such that no adjustment was recognised.
A number of UK properties owned by the Company with a book value of GBP81,679,000 at 30 June 2021 are subject to registered fixed charges and continue to provide security to the scheme under the deficit funding plan. The Company also has an escrow bank account with a balance of GBP10,578,000 at the end of the year (2020: GBP10,568,000) which is subject to a registered floating charge. There is no scheduled release of funds back to the Company under the deficit funding plan.
In the event a subsequent actuarial valuation results in the combined value of the properties and the escrow bank account exceeding 120% of the actuarial deficit, some of the contingent assets will be released back to the Company. Any remaining contingent assets will be released from charge when the deficit no longer exists.
The current agreement will continue until 30 June 2031 and any outstanding deficit paid at that time. The agreement will end sooner if the actuarial deficit (calculated on a self-sufficiency basis) is eliminated in the meantime.
The charges may be enforced by the Trustees if one of the following occurs: (a) the Company does not pay funds into the scheme in line with the agreed plan; (b) an insolvency event occurs in relation to the Company; or (c) the Company does not pay any deficit at 30 June 2031.
Under the Ireland defined benefit pension scheme deficit funding plan, a property owned by Renishaw Ireland (DAC) is subject to a registered fixed charge to secure the Ireland defined benefit pension scheme's deficit.
23. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
In accordance with the remuneration policy approved by shareholders at the 2017 AGM, the deferred annual equity incentive plan ('the Plan') was implemented in relation to the financial year ending 30 June 2018. The 20 July 2018 Remuneration Committee meeting recommended plan rules that were adopted by a resolution of the Board on 24 July 2018. The Committee also approved the grant of awards under the Plan to the participating Executive Directors.
The number of shares to be awarded is calculated by dividing the relevant amount of annual bonus under the Plan by the average price of a share during a period determined by the Committee of not more than five dealing days ending with the dealing day before the award date. These shares must be purchased on the open market and cannot be satisfied by issuance of new shares or transfer of existing treasury shares.
An employee benefit trust (EBT) exists to purchase and hold such shares, until transferring to the employee, which will normally be on the third anniversary of the award date, subject to continued employment. Malus and clawback provisions can be operated by the Committee within five years of the award date. During the vesting period, no dividends are payable on the shares. However, upon vesting, employees will be entitled to additional shares or cash, equivalent to the value of dividends paid on the awarded shares during this period.
The total cost recognised in the 2021 Consolidated income statement in respect of the Plan was GBP173,000 (2020: GBP173,000).
In accordance with the Plan, amounts equivalent to GBP734,317 (2020: GBPnil) have been awarded in respect of 2021.
24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk arising from its use of financial instruments. This note presents information about the Group's exposure to these risks, along with the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing the risks.
Fair value
There is no significant difference between the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities and their carrying value in the Consolidated balance sheet. All financial assets and liabilities are held at amortised cost, apart from the forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are held at fair value, with changes going through the Consolidated income statement unless subject to hedge accounting.
The fair values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts have been calculated by a third-party expert, discounting estimated future cash flows on the basis of market expectations of future exchange rates, representing level 2 in the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy. The IFRS 13 level categorisation relates to the extent the fair value can be determined by reference to comparable market values. The classifications are: level 1 where instruments are quoted on an active market; level 2 where the assumptions used to arrive at fair value have comparable market data; and level 3 where the assumptions used to arrive at fair value do not have comparable market data.
Credit risk
The Group's liquid funds are substantially held with banks with high credit ratings and the credit risk relating to these funds is therefore limited. The Group carries a credit risk relating to non-payment of trade receivables by its customers. The Group's policy is that credit evaluations are carried out on all new customers before credit is given above certain thresholds. There is a spread of risks among a large number of customers with no significant concentration with one customer or in any one geographical area. The Group establishes an allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables where recoverability is considered doubtful.
An analysis by currency of the Group's financial assets at the year end is as follows:
Trade & finance lease Other receivables Cash & bank deposits receivables 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 Currency GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 ---------------- ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------- ---------- Pound Sterling 16,915 9,293 23,752 16,974 174,905 75,052 US Dollar 39,603 33,358 815 946 9,511 7,096 Euro 23,476 15,607 1,144 1,663 8,118 6,324 Japanese Yen 16,568 20,416 173 337 3,786 4,553 Other 26,103 33,186 4,137 3,276 18,688 27,361 ---------------- ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------- ---------- 122,665 111,860 30,021 23,196 215,008 120,386 ---------------- ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------- ----------
The above trade receivables, finance lease receivables, other receivables and cash are predominately held in the functional currency of the relevant entity, with the exception of GBP20,447,000 of US Dollar-denominated trade receivables being held in Renishaw (Hong Kong) Limited and GBP1,761,000 of Euro-denominated trade receivables being held in Renishaw UK Sales Limited, along with some foreign currency cash balances which are of a short-term nature.
Other receivables include mostly prepayments, a proportion of the R&D tax credit receivable, and indirect tax receivables. Prepayment balances are reviewed at each reporting period to confirm that prepaid goods or services are still expected to be received, while tax balances are reviewed for recoverability.
The ageing of trade receivables past due, but not impaired, at the end of the year was:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 -------------------------------- -------- -------- Past due zero to one month 10,537 11,703 Past due one to two months 2,704 4,510 Past due more than two months 6,283 15,495 --------------------------------- -------- -------- Balance at the end of the year 19,524 31,708 --------------------------------- -------- --------
Movements in the provision for impairment of trade receivables during the year were:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 --------------------------------- -------- -------- Balance at the beginning of the year 5,965 3,081 Changes in amounts provided (1,994) 3,254 Amounts used (145) (370) ---------------------------------- -------- -------- Balance at the end of the year 3,826 5,965 ---------------------------------- -------- --------
The Group applies the simplified approach when measuring the expected credit loss for trade receivables, with a provision matrix used to determine a lifetime expected credit loss.
For this provision matrix, trade receivables are grouped into credit risk categories, with category 1 being the lowest risk and category 5 the highest. Risk scores are allocated to the customer's country of operation, their type (such as distributor, end-user and OEM), their industry and the proportion of their debt that was past due at the year-end. These scores are then weighted to produce an overall risk score for the customer, with the lowest scores being allocated to category 1 and the highest scores to category 5.
The matrix then applies an expected credit loss rate to each category, with this rate being determined by adjusting the Group's historic credit loss rates to reflect forward-looking information. This includes management's latest assessment of the impact of COVID-19 and the recent improvements in global macroeconomic conditions, which has resulted in a decrease in the expected credit loss rate, and the expected credit loss allowance, compared to the prior year
Where certain customers have been identified as having a significantly elevated credit risk these have been provided for on a specific basis. Both elements of expected credit loss are shown in the matrix below and have been shown separately so as not to distort the expected credit loss rate.

The Group has no material contract assets, and finance lease receivables are subject to the same approach as noted above for trade receivables.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is GBP377,333,000 (2020: GBP259,200,000), comprising the Group's trade, finance and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and derivative assets.
The maturities of non-current other receivables, being long-term loans to associates and joint ventures and derivatives, at the year end were
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 -------------------------------------- -------- -------- Receivable between one and two years 12,484 905 Receivable between two and five years - 3,155 --------------------------------------- -------- -------- 12,484 4,060 -------------------------------------- -------- --------
Liquidity risk
Our approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that we will always have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. We use monthly cash flow forecasts on a rolling 12-month basis to monitor cash requirements.
With net cash and bank deposits at 30 June 2021 totalling GBP215,008,000, an increase of GBP94,622,000 from 30 June 2020, the Group's liquidity has improved in the period.
In respect of net cash and bank deposits, the carrying value is materially the same as fair value because of the short maturity of the bank deposits. Bank deposits are affected by interest rates that are either fixed or floating, which can change over time, affecting the Group's interest income. An increase of 1% in interest rates would result in an increase in interest income of approximately GBP1,200,000.

Market risk
As noted in the Strategic report under Principal risks and uncertainties, the Group operates in a number of foreign currencies with the majority of sales being made in these currencies, but with most manufacturing being undertaken in the UK, Ireland and India.
The Group enters into US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk, including:
i. forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge a significant proportion of the Group's forecasted US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen revenues over the next 24 months;
ii. foreign currency option contracts, entered into alongside the forward contracts above until May 2018 as part of the Group hedging strategy, are ineffective for cash flow hedging purposes. Note 28, 'Alternative performance measures', gives an adjusted measure of profit before tax to reflect the original intention that these derivatives were entered into for hedging purposes. The final option contract will mature in November 2021; and
iii. one-month forward foreign currency exchange contracts to offset the gains/losses from exchange rate movements arising from foreign currency-denominated intragroup balances of the Company.
The following table details the fair value of these forward foreign currency derivatives according to the categorisations of instruments noted above:

The following are the exchange rates which have been applicable during the financial year:

For the Group's foreign currency forward contracts and options at the balance sheet date, if Sterling appreciated by 5% against the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen, this would increase pre-tax equity by GBP31,300,000 and increase profit before tax by GBP9,200,000, while a depreciation of 5% would decrease pre-tax equity by GBP4,100,000 and decrease profit before tax by GBP1,100,000.
Hedging
In relation to the forward currency contracts in a designated cash flow hedge, the hedged item is a layer component of forecast sales transactions. Forecast transactions are deemed highly probable to occur and Group policy is to hedge around 75% of net foreign currency exposure for USD, EUR and JPY. The hedged item creates an exposure to receive USD, EUR or JPY, while the forward contract is to sell USD, EUR or JPY and buy GBP. Therefore, there is a strong economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item. The hedge ratio is 100%, such that, by way of example, GBP10m nominal value of forward currency contracts are used to hedge GBP10m of forecast sales. Fair value gains or losses on the forward currency contracts are offset by foreign currency gain or losses on the translation of USD, EUR and JPY based sales revenue, relative to the forward rate at the date the forward contracts were arranged. Foreign currency exposures in HKD and USD are aggregated and only USD forward currency contracts are used to hedge these currency exposures. Sources of hedge ineffectiveness according to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments include: changes in timing of the hedged item; reduction in the amount of the hedged sales considered to be highly probable; a change in the credit risk of Renishaw or the bank counterparty to the forward contract; and differences in assumptions used in calculating fair value.
During 2020, global macroeconomic uncertainty resulted in a reduction to the 'highly probable' revenue forecasts of Renishaw plc and Renishaw UK Sales Limited, being the hedged item, which resulted in proportions of forward contracts failing hedge effectiveness testing, with nominal value amounting to GBP247,547,000. Following maturities during 2021, the remaining nominal value of ineffective forward contracts at 30 June 2021 totalled GBP153,585,000, with fair value gains of GBP22,824,000 recognised in the Consolidated income statement relating to movements in the mark-to-market valuations of these outstanding contracts.
During 2021, an improvement in global macroeconomic conditions and business performance has resulted in an increase to the 'highly probable' revenue forecasts of the hedged item, such that no additional contracts have become ineffective. A decrease of 10% in the highly probable forecasts would result in an additional GBP7,430,000 notional value of forward contracts becoming ineffective, with GBP818,000 gain immediately recycled to the Consolidated income statement based on 30 June 2021 mark-to-market valuations.
25. SHARE CAPITAL AND RESERVES
Capital management
The Group defines capital as being the equity attributable to the owners of the Company, which is captioned on the Consolidated balance sheet. The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base and to maintain a balance between significant returns to shareholders, with a progressive dividend policy, while ensuring the security of the Group is supported by a sound capital position. The Group may adjust dividend payments due to changes in economic and market conditions which affect, or are anticipated to affect, Group results.
Share capital
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 Allotted, called-up and fully paid 72,788,543 ordinary shares of 20p each 14,558 14,558 ----------------------------------------------- -------- --------
The ordinary shares are the only class of share in the Company. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to vote at general meetings of the Company and receive dividends as declared. The Articles of Association of the Company do not contain any restrictions on the transfer of shares nor on voting rights.
Dividends paid
Dividends paid comprised:
2021 2020 GBP'000 GBP'000 ------------------------------------ -------- -------- 2020 final dividend paid of nil per share (2019: 46.0p) - 33,483 Interim dividend paid of 14.0p per 10,189 - share (2020: nil) Total dividends paid 10,189 33,478 ------------------------------------- -------- --------
As a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and according to the Board's priority of conserving cash and managing the Group in a prudent manner during a period of uncertainty, no final dividend was declared in respect of 2020. Following an improvement in global macroeconomic conditions and the financial position of the Group during 2021, the Board have reinstated the dividend, with an interim dividend of 14.0p per share paid in April 2021. A final dividend of 52.0p per share is proposed in respect of 2021, which will be payable on 29 November 2021 to shareholders on the register on 29 October 2021.
Currency translation reserve
The currency translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of the foreign operations and currency movements on intragroup loan balances classified as net investments in foreign operations (see note 5).

Cash flow hedging reserve
The cash flow hedging reserve, for both the Group and the Company, comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the valuation of forward exchange contracts which are effective hedges and mature after the year end. These are valued on a mark-to-market basis, are accounted for in Other comprehensive income and expense and accumulated in Equity, and are recycled through the Consolidated income statement and Company income statement when the hedged item affects the income statement, or when the hedging relationship ceases to be effective. See note 24 for further detail.

The only significant transactions between the Group and these parties are in relation to their respective remuneration.
28. ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
In accordance with Renishaw's Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) policy and ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (2015), APMs are defined as - Revenue at constant exchange rates, Adjusted profit before tax, Adjusted earnings per share and Adjusted operating profit.
Revenue at constant exchange rates is defined as revenue recalculated using the same rates as were applicable to the previous year and excluding forward contract gains and losses.
2021 2020 Revenue at constant exchange rates GBP'000 GBP'000 -------- -------- Statutory revenue as reported 565,559 510,215 Adjustment for forward contract (gains)/losses (1,427) 12,053 Adjustment to restate current year at previous 26,206 - year exchange rates -------- -------- Revenue at constant exchange rates 590,338 522,268 -------- -------- Year-on-year revenue growth at constant exchange +13.0% - rates -------- --------
Year-on-year revenue growth at constant exchange rates for 2020 was -13.2%.
Adjusted profit before tax, Adjusted earnings per share and Adjusted operating profit are defined as the profit before tax, earnings per share and operating profit after excluding costs relating to business restructuring, third-party costs relating to the formal sales process ('FSP'), and gains and losses in fair value from forward currency contracts which did not qualify for hedge accounting and which have yet to mature.
Restructuring costs reported separately in the Consolidated income statement (see note 29), and third-party legal and advisory costs relating to the 2021 FSP reported in Administrative expenses, have been excluded from adjusted measures on the basis that they relate to matters that do not frequently recur.
From 2017, the gains and losses from the fair value of financial instruments not effective for cash flow hedging have been excluded from statutory profit before tax, statutory earnings per share and statutory operating profit in arriving at Adjusted profit before tax, Adjusted earnings per share and Adjusted operating profit to reflect the Board's intent that the instruments would provide effective hedges. This is classified as 'Fair value (gains)/losses on financial instruments not eligible for hedge accounting (i)' in the following reconciliations. The amounts shown as reported in revenue represent the amount by which revenue would change had all the derivatives qualified as eligible for hedge accounting.
Gains and losses which recycle through the Consolidated income statement as a result of contracts deemed ineffective during 2020, as described in note 24, are also excluded from adjusted profit measures, on the basis that all forward contracts are still expected to be effective hedges for Group revenue, while the potentially high volatility in fair value gains and losses relating to these contracts will otherwise cause confusion for users of the financial statements wishing to understand the underlying trading performance of the Group. This is classified as 'Fair value (gains)/losses on financial instruments not eligible for hedge accounting (ii)' in the following reconciliations.
The Board considers these alternative performance measures to be more relevant and reliable in evaluating the Group's performance.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS
During 2020 the Board implemented its 'Fit for the Future' initiative, which incorporated the rationalisation and reorganisation of certain operating activities, particularly relating to the additive manufacturing (AM) business, and cost control measures which included a UK compulsory redundancy programme.
The Board considered that the costs relating to these restructuring activities should be reported separately in the Consolidated income statement in order to aid users' understanding. No expenses relating to this initiative have been incurred in 2021. The table below shows the analysis of these costs:
2020 GBP'000 -------- Redundancy costs (a) 6,281 Impairment of capitalised research and development costs (b) 5,999 Impairment of goodwill (c) 405 Impairment of property, plant and equipment (a) 2,590 Increase in inventory provisions (b) 4,910 Increase in warranty provisions (b) 3,400 Other expenses (c) 212 -------- Total Restructuring expenses 23,797 --------
These costs would be found under the following headings in the Consolidated income statement if they had not been separately identified in Restructuring costs: (a) within cost of sales, distribution costs and administrative expenses; (b) within cost of sales; and (c) within administrative expenses.
