In doing so, the committee reviews cash forecasts on a regular basis lo Identify In advanTr significant cash fluclualions and cash flow Issues, and lo ensure that reasonable returns are achieved, without risk to the capital, and to ensure that there is sufficient working capital for the organisalion.

The investment portfolios have achieved their objectives by performing well against the benchmarks set for them whilst retaining the ability to raise cash as needed for withdrawal for operational use. FUTURE PLANS The thematic focus in 2024125 will be on the environment and the climate crisis, with a headline concert series investigating an artistic response, especially from the Nordic Countries, home of the Principal Conductor Sanllu- Malias Rouvali. The ancillary programme will be substantially expanded into a series of debates, enabling audiences lo lake part in the vital discussions with artists and community leaders to explore one of the most challenging issues of our lime. A major lour of Japan will be the second major overseas lour for the Orchestra since the pandemic. Planning in the meantime will continue for the Orchestra's 80th birthday season in 2025126 which will see tours to the United Stales, Korea and China, alongside European touring.

This will be achieved through main programming and connected wrap- around activity being programmed concurrently with Learning and Engagement projects, enhanced by high-profile Featured Artists, Featured Composers, Composers, Academy, new commissions, and a broad range of world- renowned and up-and-coming soloists and conductors. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The environment in which the Orchestra operates continues to present a range of economic, geopolitical, and artistic challenges that impact its ability to deliver its mission effectively. During the year, risks related to ongoing inflationary pressures have remained significant, affecting lickel sales, audience attendance, and the Orchestra's cost base. Partners and venues continue lo face financial conslrainls, adding pressure lo maintain existing fee slruclures. While audience levels have largely retumed lo pre-pandemic norms, uncertainty persists around securing additional funds through donations and grants, achieving expected investment returns, and mitigating price pressures. To address rising costs and support accessibility, the Orchestra has implemented a flexible lickel pricing structure for its own-promolion concerts, offering tickets starting al £10. Fee levels for players and staff were also increased in the period, demonstrating a commitment to supporting the workforce and players amid challenging economic conditions. Page 12

PHILHARMONIA LIMITED (a company Ilmlted by guarantee) TRUSTEES. REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 A growing concern Is the risk that ongoing financial deficits will worsen the Orchestra's long-term financial sustainability. In response, Trustees and senior management have commilled lo reviewing and refreshing the business model. This inilialive, supported in part by funding from ACE'S Transform programme, aims to drive Increased commercial and development Income while managing costs effectively lo secure the Orchestra's future. Trustees continue to Monitor financial scenarios closely, ensuring investment in the artistic programme is maintained and committing reserves where necessary lo support the Orchestra's strategic objectives. KEY RISKS AND UNCER TAINTIES At the date of signing, the principal risks facing the Orchestra include.. Financial Sustainability The Orchestra faces the risk of worsening financial sustainability due to deficit budgets over the next three years. The Trustees are addressing this through a review and refresh of the business model, supported by Arts Council England's Transform fund. Efforts focLJS on increasing commercial and development income while ensuring cost management is robust and sustsinable. Dependence on Arts Council England Funding Arts Council England NPO funding remains the primary source of voluntary income, accounting for £1,830,223 per annum for the period from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2026. This represents a 120/0 reduction compared to previous funding levels, posing a significant risk lo fi'nancial stsbilily. Activity plans have been adapted, but full mitigation of the financial impact remains challenging. Intemational Touring and Brexil-Related Challenges A subslanlial portion of the Orchestra's income is derived from international touring. Brexil-related regulations, particularly EU cabotage rules, continue lo complicate the logistics of European touring, including the use of the Orchestra's truck. Management remains in regular contact with relevant Government bodie5 and industry representatives to address these challenges proactively. Development and Fundraising Income fmm sponsorships, donations, and Trusts and Foundations is essential to the Orchestra's activities. Efforts are ongoing to strengthen the Development Department, including a new strategic case for support and the creation of a Development Board to enhance fundraising capabilities. RISK MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY The Orchestra employs a bottom-up approach to risk management. The senior management team regularly updates the Risk Register, identifies new risks, and assigns responsibility for miligalion using the TARA method (Transfer, Avoid, Reduce, AC￿ptI.

The Finance Committee reviews the Risk Register quarterly before presentation lo the Board. The Trustees aim to maintain an overall low-to-medium risk profile while ensuring the Orchestra continues to deliver its artistic and strategic objectives effectively. GOING CONCERN The Orchestra relies substantially on funding by grants from Arts Council England IACEI for ils current and future commitments. This funding is primarily via the National Portfolio Organisalion INPOI annual revenue funding and via other ACE funding programmes. Page 13

PHILHARMONIA LIMITED (a company Ilmlted by guarantee) TRUSTEES. REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 Despite the uncertainly brought about by the cost-of-living crisis and future ACE funding levels, the merger in March 2020 between Philharmonia Limited and Philharmonia Trust Limited boosted the Orchestra's financial resilience, fundraising abilities and charitable governan￿. The merger increased the fixed assets held by Philharmonia Limited with the transfer of the property at Chancel Street lo Philharmonia Limiled's balance sheet. 11 also provided access to draw upon the 2005 Endowment Fund should this be needed, an endowment previously held within the investment portfolio of Philharmonia Trust. Although not desirable lo lake from this fvjnd al such a lime, il is reassuring lo know that the investment fund is available to the Orchestra on demand. A detsiled budgeting process lakes place every year with particular scrutiny being given to financial management and control. Having considered all the above matters and regarding the value of propety and investments, the Trustees consider that the 'going concern, status of Philharmonia Limited is an appropriate assumption for the preparation of these financial statements. INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES During the year the Orchestra continued its strong action plans related to the ACE investment principles of Ambition and Quality, Environmental Responsibility, Dynamism, and Inclusivity and Relevance. Inilialives being undertaken speak directly lo the priorities identified by Arts Council England as being germane lo the Creative Case for Diversity and the 'Lel's Create, strategy and are supported by data and evaluation methodology Ihroughoul.

PHILHARMONIA LIMITED (a company Ilmlted by guarantee) TRUSTEES. REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 The Philharmonia has committed to deliver, the Inclusive Practice in Recruitment programme. The programme, which is led by the Association of Brib"sh Orchestras IABOI, Musicians, Union IMUI and Black Lives in Music IBLIMI, lakes the form of a 10-poinl plan which promotes inclusive recruitment practice in orchestras in the UK'S classical music sector.

The Orchestra has a responsibilty to reduce environmental impact and lo incorporate sustainability as a fundamental part of its ethos. Both the Or¢heslra and its international promoters are mindful of the environmental impact of touring. Examples of reducing impact are. the April 2024 European tour included one flight with remaining travel by buses and trains due lo careful roule planning and schedule management., and the on- boarding ofthe Philharmonia's new instrument truck which has the option lo run entirely on HVO fuel thus allowing any journeys undertaken lo be carbon neutral.

PHILHARMONIA LIMITED IA Company Limited by Guarantee} INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PHILHARMONIA LIMITED {CONTINUEDI Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect Ihereunder. Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misslatemenl, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors, Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran￿, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material misstslemenl when il exists. Misstalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slatemenls. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-complian￿ with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to delecl material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the entity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements., Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of known or suspected instances of fraud., Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims., Enquiry of management about any InStan￿S of non-compliance with laws and regulations., Reviewing the control systems In place and testing the effectiveness of the controls., Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of joumal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness", Evaluating the business ￿tiOnale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, Reviewing accounting eslimales for bias., Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance., and Reviewing financial statement disclosures and lesling to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstslemenl in the financial ststemenls or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial ststemenls, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.or .uklaudilorsres onsibilities.

Stslement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordan￿ wth the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006.

PHILHARMONIA LIMITED IA Company Limited by Guarantee} NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 Accounting policies Icontinuedl 2.2 Going concern The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going Gon￿rn basis is appropriate for the next 12 months and beyond the foreseeable future. The trustees have given consideration lo known future events or uncertainties, which they do not believe are currently material, but which should be considered closely when reviewing the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from aulhorising these financial slatemenls. The Orchestra relies subslanlially on Arts Council England IACEI funding for ils current and future commitments and has been SUC￿ssful in ils application for continued NPO funding for the Ihree-year period 2023-2026. A detailed budgeting process lakes pla￿ every year with particular scrutiny being given lo budgeting and financial management. Despite the uncertainly brought about by the cost of living crisis and longer term, future ACE funding levels, the transfer of Philharmonia Trust Limited's nel assets, which included the Chancel Street property and the 2005 Endowment Fund, lo Philharmonia Limited in March 2020 helped lo boost the Orchestra's financial resilience. Having considered the above mallers, the Trustees consider that the going concern slalus of Philharmonia Limited is appropriate for the preparation of these financial statements. 2.3 Income All income is recognised once the Charity has entillemenl lo the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Voluntary income, including donations, gifts and legacies, as well as grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature are recognised where there is enliuement, receipt is probable, and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Such income is only deferred if the donor has requested the amount lo be allocated lo specific concerts, engagements or projects, in which case it is allocated lo the financial year in which the work lakes place, or the donor has imposed conditions which must be mel before the Charity has unconditional entiuement. Other categories of income are recognised on an accruals basis, (excluding value added lax), with income relating lo adVan￿d lickel sales being held as deferred income and released only when the concert lakes place. Engagement and Touring fees are recognised when the activity has taken place. Rile Digital Limited transfers ils surplus to Philharmonia Limited under the terms of Gift Aid at year end or carries forward any deficit to future years. Grants are included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entillemenl of receipt, ils recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where enlitlemenl occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. Other income is recognised in the period in which il is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the servi￿. Page 29

PHILHARMONIA LIMITED IA Company Limited by Guarantee} NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 Accounting policies Icontinuedl 2.4 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised On￿ there is a legal or constructive obligation lo transfer economic benefit lo a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable lo a single activity are allocated directly lo that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned be￿een those activities on a basis consislenl with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of lime spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Group lo raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charilable trading. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 2.5 Government grants Government grants relating lo tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released lo the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities as the related expenditure is incurred. 2.6 Interest receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Group., this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised unless for security reasons they need to be recorded le.g. laptop computers) and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into ils intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

PHILHARMONIA LIMITED IA Company Limited by Guarantee} NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 Accounting policies Icontinuedl 2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Icontinuedl Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their eslimaled useful lives, using the slraighl-line method, unless the asset is considered lo have a high residual value where the annual depreciation charge would therefore be immaterial. Depreciation is provided on the following bases.. Music library Fixtures and fittings Musical Instruments Property improvements Computer equipment Property 50 years 5 years 10 years 20 years 3 years 50 years The element of Long leasehold property which represents land is not depreciated The assets. residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. 2.8 Investments Investments are recognised initially al fair value which is normally the transaction pri￿ excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are continuously measured at fair value with changes recognised in 'net gainslllossesl on inveslmenls, in the Slalement of Financial Aclivilies.

Liabilities are recognised al the amount that the Charity anticipates il will pay lo settle the debt or the amount il has re￿iVed as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the lime value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted al the pre-tax discount rale that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities as finance cosL 2.12 Financial instruments The Company only holds basic Financial Inslrumenls. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company are as follows.. Debtors trade and other debtors (including accrued income) are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured al amortised cost as detailed in Note 18.

Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure. Deferred income is not deemed lo be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is simply an obligation lo deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument. 2.13 Foreign exchange transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the actual rate at the lime of the Iransaclion. Assets and liabilities held on the Balan￿ Sheet in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rale at the Balance Sheet dale. All differen￿$ are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities. 2.14 Operating leases Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Slalement of Financial Activities on a slraight-line basis over the lease term. 2.15 Pensions The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Group lo the fund in respect of the year.

PHILHARMONIA LIMITED IA Company Limited by Guarantee} NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement Eslimales and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting eslimales and assumptions.. The Charity makes eslimales and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting eslimales and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The eslimales and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment lo the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Valuation of music library The only significant judgement was to maintain the value of the music library al its existing nel book value on transfer from the Philharmonia Trust Limited. The Trustees decided not lo increase the value, due lo the uncertainty of the valuation. Orchestral Tax Relief Orchestra lax relief IOTRI is elected on an annual basis in advan￿, with any subsequent, standalone event elections taking place during the year. The existence of an associated asset can therefore only be confirmed upon the finalisalion and submission of the company lax return and subsequent review and agreement by HMRC. In this way OTR relating to any financial year is likely lo be received up lo 18 months after the initial evenl{sl recorded in any claim. At the dale of the signing of these accounts, the Charity was in the process of finalising a significant OTR claim in relation lo activities performed during the year. Included within these financial statements is the Charity's current best estimate of the value that will be received from HMRC. However, as there are a number of variables associated with the claim which are subject lo HMRC review, this amount could materially differ from the value ultimately agreed by and received from HMRC. Long leasehold property The Iruslees have been required, in the absence of a split of deemed cost, to estimate the allocation of the cost of this property be￿een the relative elements attributable to land, which is not depreciated, and buildings, which are depreciated. Having consulted with property professionals, considered slatulory provisions, and researched market factors, the Iruslees consider 400/0 of the deemed cost lo represent land and 600/0 lo present buildings. As such, 40Q/o of the deemed cost is not depreciated. Page 34
