Raman systems used to study 2D materials

Boston University’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (“DECE”) houses the Optical Characterization and Nanophotonics laboratory. Here, Governance research focuses on developing, and applying, advanced optical characterisation techniques to the study of solid-state and biological phenomena, at the nanoscale. The group uses Renishaw Raman spectrometers to measure strain in 2D materials and the friction between 2D materials and their underlying substrates. Anna Swan is an associate professor in the DECE and involved with a research group that is currently focusing on 2D materials, such as graphene, boron nitride, molybdenum disulphide and Financial statements phosphorene. They are interested in how strain, and designed strain fields, can be used to manipulate the electronic and optical properties in these materials. For this work, they are looking at how they can control the boundary conditions and manipulate the extent of friction between the 2D material and substrate. They are using Raman spectroscopy to measure strain, the coupling between strain and Raman shifts, and the friction.

We have seen increased engagement from our people across a range of CSR-related activities, particularly on waste, charity and community activities, throughout the Group. We are pleased to have achieved a number of our CSR targets. We are capturing data from more sites than ever to reduce our reliance on industry average data and increase the accuracy of our waste and Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) footprints. We have shown continued growth within the business, in the building space we occupy, the number of employees and our production levels. However, we have still achieved an absolute reduction of waste to landfill and a reduction of GHG emissions per £m turnover.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES (FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS)

1. Accounting policies Basis of preparation Renishaw plc (the “Company”) is a company incorporated in the UK. 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. The parent company financial statements present information about the Company as a separate entity and not about the Group. The group financial statements have been prepared and approved by the directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU (“adopted IFRS”). The Company has elected to prepare its parent company financial statements in accordance with UK GAAP. 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. Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, subject to items referred to in the derivative financial instruments note below. The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied in preparing both the 2014 and 2015 financial statements. Critical accounting judgements 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 estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are listed below:

(i) Inventory Determining the value of inventory requires judgement, especially in respect of provisioning for slow moving and potentially obsolete inventory. Management consider historic and future forecast sales patterns of individual stock items when calculating inventory provisions. (ii) Impairment of goodwill 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 10). Other estimates and judgements that have been made in these financial statements are as follows:

(i) Defined benefit pension scheme liabilities Determining the value of the future defined benefit obligation requires judgement in respect of the assumptions used to calculate present values. These include future mortality, discount rate, inflation and salary increases. Management makes these judgements in consultation with an independent actuary. Details of the estimates and judgements in respect of the current year are given in note 15.

(ii) Amortisation of intangibles and impairment The periods of amortisation of intangible assets require judgements to be made on the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets to determine an appropriate rate of amortisation. Future assessments of impairment may lead to the writing off of certain amounts of intangible assets and the consequent charge in the Consolidated income statement for the accelerated amortisation.

(iii) Capitalisation of development costs 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. 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.

1. Accounting policies continued Foreign currencies Foreign subsidiaries’ results are translated into Sterling at weighted average exchange rates for the year, which is effected by translating each foreign 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 ruling at that date. Differences on exchange resulting from the translation of overseas assets and liabilities are recognised directly in equity. Gains and losses arising on currency borrowings used to hedge the foreign currency exposure on the net assets of the foreign operations are accounted for directly in equity, to the extent that hedge accounting criteria are met and are included in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and expense. See the note on derivative financial instruments below, for the accounting policies for forward exchange contracts and currency borrowings. Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in the Consolidated income statement. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged (see below). Hedge of net investment in foreign operation The portion of the gain or loss on an instrument used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in equity. Any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Consolidated income statement. The effectiveness of the hedging is tested monthly. Inventory and work in progress Inventory and work in progress is valued at the lower of cost 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 which 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. 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 at any time. Goodwill and other intangible assets Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, are expensed as incurred. Deferred consideration relating to acquisitions is subject to discounting to the date of acquisition and subsequently unwound to the date of the final payment. 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. Where there exists an option to purchase the non-controlling interest of a subsidiary and the option is deemed to have been exercised, the Group has adopted the anticipated-acquisition method. Any changes to the carrying amount of the liability are recognised in the Consolidated income statement. 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 through 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. On a transaction by transaction basis, the Group elects to measure non-controlling interests, which have both present ownership interests and are entitled to a proportionate share of net assets of the acquiree in the event of liquidation, either at its fair value or at its proportionate interest in the recognised amount of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree at the acquisition date. All other non-controlling interests are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date. Where there are changes to the Company’s interests in subsidiaries while retaining control, any differences between the amount by which non-controlling interests are adjusted and fair value of consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity in the “other reserve”.

Vehicles Employee benefits Employee The Group operates contributory pension schemes, largely for UK, Ireland and USA employees, which were of the defined benefit December 31st type up April5th to 2007 and 30th respectively, 2007, June 2012 at which time theyceased any future accrual for existing members and were closed new to members. The schemes are administered trustees by who are independent of the group finances.Pension scheme assets of the defined benefit schemesare measured using market value. 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 the to liability. Remeasurements arising from defined benefit planscomprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effectincluded are plans benefit of the defined asset to ceiling related expenses other excluding (if all and any, income comprehensive interest). other in immediately them recognises Company The in the Consolidated income statement. The pension schemes’ surpluses, the to 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 relationto a pension scheme deficit, liabilities reportedare in accordanceForeign-based with IFRIC 14. employees are covered state, by defined benefit and private pension schemes in their countries of residence. Actuarial valuations of foreign pension schemes were not obtained, apart from Ireland and USA, because of the limitednumber of foreign employees. For defined contribution schemes, the amount chargedto the Consolidated income statement represents the contributions payable the to schemes in respect of the accounting period. Accruals are made for holiday based pay, on a calculation of the number of days holiday earned during but the year, not yet taken. Dividends Dividends unpaid at the balance sheet date are only recognised as a liability at that date the to extent that they are appropriately declared and authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Company. The Group provides a warranty from the date of purchase on all its products. This is typically period, for a 12-month although up three to years is given for a small number of products. A warranty provision is included in the financial statements, which is calculated on the basis of historicalreturns and internal quality reports. Warranty provisions Warranty Freehold land is not depreciated. Other assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided write to off the cost of assets less their estimated residual value on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful economic lives as follows: buildings Freehold Property, plant and equipment Intangible assets – software licences Intangible assets comprising software licences, that are acquiredthe by 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 ten to years. Plant and equipment 1. Accounting policies continued1.

1. Accounting policies continued Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and short-term (with an original maturity of less than three months) deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand form part of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Consolidated statement of cash flow. Exceptional items Exceptional items are items which due to their size, incidence and non-recurring nature have been classified separately in order to draw them to the attention of the reader of the accounts and, in management’s judgement, to show more accurately the underlying results of the Group. Such items are included within the Consolidated income statement caption to which they relate and are disclosed separately on the face of the Consolidated income statement. Going concern The Group’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position, are set out in the Strategic report, where also given are details of the financial and liquidity positions. In addition, note 22 in the financial statements includes the Group’s objectives and policies for managing its capital, details of its financial instruments and hedging activities and its exposures to credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group has considerable financial resources at its disposal and the directors have considered the current financial projections. As a consequence, the directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual report and accounts. Cash flow hedges Forward exchange contracts are recognised at fair value. Where a forward contract is designated as a hedge of the variability in future cash inflows, the effective part of any gain or loss on the forward contract is recognised directly in equity. Any effective cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and recognised in the Consolidated income statement at the same time as the hedged transaction. The ineffective part of any gain or loss is recognised in the Consolidated income statement immediately. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to take place, the cumulative unrealised gain or loss held in equity is recognised in the Consolidated income statement immediately. The effectiveness of cash flow hedges is tested on a monthly basis by comparing the cash inflows with the hedging amounts. 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 equity, 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. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised.

In the Budget on 8th July 2015, the Chancellor announced additional planned reductions to 18% by 2020. This will reduce the Company’s future current tax charge accordingly. As at 30th June 2015, UK deferred tax has been calculated at the rate of 20% for all timing differences.

8. Earnings per share Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated on earnings after tax of £121,908,000 (2014: £86,215,000) and on 72,788,543 shares, being the number of shares in issue during both years. There is no difference between the weighted average earnings per share and the basic and diluted earnings per share. The adjusted earnings per share figure for 2014 excludes the exceptional item.

15. Employee benefits The Group operates a number of pension schemes throughout the world. As noted in the accounting policies, actuarial valuations of foreign pension schemes are not obtained for the most part because of the limited number of foreign employees. The major scheme, which covers the UK-based employees, was of the defined benefit type. This scheme, along with the Ireland and USA defined benefit schemes, has ceased any future accrual for current members and these schemes are closed to new members. UK, Ireland and USA employees are now covered by defined contribution schemes. The total pension cost of the Group for the year was £16,347,000 (2014: £13,246,000), of which £178,000 (2014: £182,000) related to directors and £5,035,000 (2014: £3,537,000) related to overseas schemes. The latest full actuarial valuation of the UK defined benefit scheme was carried out as at September 2012 and updated to 30th June 2015 by a qualified independent actuary. The mortality assumption used for 2015 is S2PMA and S2PFA tables, CMI (core) 2014 model with long-term improvements of 0.2% per annum. The major assumptions used by the actuary for the UK and Ireland schemes were:

All equities have quoted prices in active markets in the UK, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Japan and emerging markets. Note C.36 gives the analysis of the UK defined benefit pension scheme. For the other schemes, the market value of assets at the end of the year was £14,410,000 (2014: £12,752,000) and the actuarial value of liabilities was £16,644,000 (2014: £18,544,000). The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is around 24 years. For a sensitivity analysis of certain elements of the UK defined benefit pension scheme, see the financial review section of the Strategic report. It is expected that contributions to defined benefit schemes for the next financial year will be at a similar level to the current year.

Under the UK and Ireland defined benefit pension scheme deficit funding plans, there are certain UK properties, owned by the Company, and a property owned by Renishaw (Ireland) Limited, which are subject to registered fixed charges to secure the UK and Ireland defined benefit pension schemes’ deficits respectively. The Company has also established an escrow account, which is subject to a registered floating charge to secure the UK defined benefit pension scheme liabilities. The balance of this account was £14,731,000 at the end of the year (2014: £9,541,000). The Company has given a guarantee relating to recovery plans for the UK defined benefit pension scheme and the trustees have the right to enforce the charges to recover any deficit up to £48,200,000 if an insolvency event occurs in relation to the Company before 30th September 2016 or if the Company has not made good any deficit up to £48,200,000 by midnight on 30th September 2016. No scheme assets are invested in the Group’s own equity. The value of the guarantee discussed above is greater than the value of the pension scheme’s deficit. As such, in line with IFRIC 14, the UK defined benefit pension scheme’s liabilities have been increased by £10,200,000, to represent the maximum discounted liability as at 30th June 2015 (2014: £8,000,000).

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. 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 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 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 range from level 1 where instruments are quoted on an active market through to level 3 where the assumptions used to arrive at fair value do not have comparable market data. Exchange rates and sensitivity analysis The Group has hedged a significant proportion of its forecasted US Dollar, Japanese Yen and Euro revenues and hence the impact on the Group’s results resulting from fluctuations in these exchange rates against Sterling is lessened. The following are the exchange rates which have been applicable during the financial year. Also noted is the increase in profit that a one US Dollar cent change, a one Japanese Yen change and a one Euro cent change in exchange rate, where the foreign currency is strengthening against Sterling, might have on the Group’s results. The method of estimation involves assessing the impact of this currency on the Group’s transactions assuming all other variables are unchanged.

C.27. Accounting policies continued Warranty on the sale of products The Company provides a warranty from the date of purchase on all its products. 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 accounts, which is calculated on the basis of historical returns and internal quality reports. Derivative financial instruments In accordance with its treasury policy, the Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange risk arising from operational and financing activities. Forward exchange contracts are recognised initially at cost and then subsequently remeasured at fair value. Where a forward contract is designated as a hedge of the variability in future cash inflows, the effective part of any gain or loss on the forward contract is recognised directly in equity. Any effective cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and recognised in the profit and loss account at the same time as the hedged transaction. The ineffective part of any gain or loss is recognised in the profit and loss account immediately. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments. Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into Sterling at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on such translation are recognised in the profit and loss account. Going concern The Company’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Strategic report, where also given are details of the financial and liquidity positions. In addition, note 22 in the financial statements includes the Company’s objectives and policies for managing its capital, details of its financial instruments and hedging activities and its exposures to credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company has considerable financial resources at its disposal and the directors have considered the current financial projections. As a consequence, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual report and accounts.
