A portion of this reserve is in the form of an advance from Arts Council England and so we anticipate that the reserve level ¥MII revert to around 50010 of the target level for soffte years until the charity is in a position to a¢¢umulate a surplus lo replenish reserves. Plans for 24125 and 25r26 wll priorilise sustaining rnan8ge8ble cashflows for the OTganisats"on while creating a strategy for the gradual rebuilding of unrestricted operatin9 reserves to meet the target, within a realistic timeframe. DESIGNATED FUNDS The Charty and Group also holds designated fixed asset funds of £8,011,61312023.. £8,324,277), representing the net book value of its tangible fixed assets, which can only be realised by disposing of these assets. includin9 the theatre building. There is a charge over the building referenced in the notes lo the financial ststemenls under Conlingenl Liabilities Inole 16bl. KEY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The trustees have examined the major risks that the Charity laces 8nd confirm th81 systems a in place to manage these risks. The most signific8nl conlexlu81 risks 8re the growing gum in the Young Vie's economic model befven cost inflation and stsnd5till funding, and the uncertainlie5 around income perforrnance. In the year ahead there will be leadership transition which aayS brings risk lo an organisation. The appointment of a very experienced and respected Artistic Director in Nadia Fall has broughl confidence lo the organisats'on. She starts in post in January 2025, and Ihere is a strong transition and handover plan in place. Major E¢onomi¢ Risks Fundraising Income: a high proportion of income is from fundraising. The trustees monitor the progress through the year and ensure targets are ambitious but achievable. We are seeing shifts in philanthropy trends and motivations after Covid-19, and a year of leadership transition is often uncertain as donors await the new leader and a refreshed vision. Trustees remain confident thal the Young Vic mission and programme continues to align in an attractive way for donors. Box Office Income.. The Young Vic progr8mme has enabled an uplift in lop lickel prices, while continuing to offer free and reduced price tsckets as in the past. Despite some underperfomiance and with sumrner months aayS Seeing softer sales, box office income ha5 been Tobusl with one sales target reaching 147Q/o IThe Homecoming). Average ticket price has continued to rise and in the year ahead1241251 we a seeing this approach its highest level ever on some shows (£301. Caution remains In ticket income forecasting despite these positive paiterns and strong sales records. Ticket sales income will always be a major economic risk for Young Vi¢ given the unpredictsbility ol which shows will prove a box office hil and the subsidised sectors remit to innovate 8nd experiment. 12
THE YOUNG VIC COMPANY TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Subsidy.. The theatre is reliant on public funding from Arts Council England and has been offered ongoing funding at the same level as Part of the National Portfolio for the three years 2023-26. An extension year 26127 has been offered by ACE with the 8ppli¢ats'on process lo open in Autumn 2024.11 is effects'vely guaranteed th81 the Young Vic will be approved for this extension year fundin9. The m8jor risk at present Iherefore relates 10 the gradu81. long-t$Tm impact of standstill funding. Cost Infiation: Cost Inllalion was flagged as a majoreconomic risk last year, given the multiple extemal factors influencing prices. Prices have stabilised for the most part with more modest price rises anlicipaled in the coming years, though uncertainty remains around energy pricing in particular, which is a signrficanl venue cost. However, in the context of the major income risks noted and the proportion of fixed overheads when running a Ihe8tre venue, even modest cost inffi81ion has become challenging. We re¢Juce risk where possible by keeping core contractual commitmen15 to a minimum and regularly reviewing overheads contract pricing against competitors. We maintain a comprehensive risk management strategy which is reviewed by the Executive Board at least annu811y wth the accompanying risk gIster reviewed at least quarterty. The strategy comprises assessment of all the major risks which Ihe company faces. an outline of Ihe systeflls that are in place which mitigate these risks and detsils of the procedures to be undettsken. GOING CONCERN The resijlls of the 23124 financial year have prove¢J that the revised Pfogramming strategies worked. supported by regular Board and Executive Board review. wth Main House projec15 ¢8p8ble ol achieving significant income upsides. Costs have been extremely well controlled. Arts Council England's advance 01 £750k in funding ensured manageable cashflows throughout the year, and was relumed lo unrestricted funds by the year end. The budget for 24125 was developed over Ihe winter of 23124 and In March 2024 the Board signed off a deficll budget incorpor8ty.ng spending down some of the unspent ACE advance, Subject to continued close monitoring Ihroughout the year. Critical to Young Vic's financial security is robLTrSt and experienced leadership wlh a sharp focus on financial planning and clear, transparent CommunitionS with Ihe Board of Trustees. The Board is confident that excellent relatK)nships wth revenue funde and key stakeholders a in place and wll remain in place during the leadership transition in 24125- 25126. The Trustee5 meet at le8St quarterly through¢JJt the year, with the Executive Board meeting monthly with the CEO, Executive Director and Finance Director. The Executive Board, which has delegated authority for detailed financial and business review, monitors progress through management accounts. budget reforecasls, detailed 13 week and high level 12-month casmow projections. Intemal reporting has benefited from rthv finance sofNYare in place from April 2023 which 5UPPOrts re81 lime financial infomialion, and improved budget tracking tools. Programming plans are reviewed ¢arefully for financial risk before commitments are made. Planning cycles aim f¢x sufficient lead-in time to enable cost effiuencies and lo raise associated fijnds. whilst ensuring flexibility lo accommodate changes Ihat are a ne¢essary part of the creative prOS5. Sn assessing going concern. Trustees have given carefvl consideration to the following.. Lalesl budget and cashflow forecast for the 2024-25 financial year, including ant+ClP8led year end reserves, and the assumptions therein Draft budgets and c8shflow forecasts 202&26, including anticipated year end reseNes, and the as5UlllPtions therein Intemal and extemal financial risks and the charity's ¢apacrty lo absorb and respond to such risks Rolyjslness of management processes and communication Plans for the period to March 2026 focus on delivering high impact productions and projects which will maximise audience5 and p8CIpation and have the potential to attract additional funding, and on generating 13
THE YOUNG VIC COMPANY TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 earned income from h+res and other sales wherever possible. Cost managemenl strategies are based on minimising fixed overhead commilrnents whi151 recognising the conslrainls of an operats'ng model which includes njnning a multi-faceted theatre building. Essen11811o Young Vic's finanryal reSi1nCe is the ongoing supporl and Aexibility of our long-time core funder Arts Couneil England. We are extremely grateful for their ongoing support. Their commitment of ongoing annual unrestricted funding of £1.79m as part of Arts Council England's National Portfolio. secured through lo March 2026, and likely extension through 26127 provides a solid foundation lor the years ahead. Further variations lo the timing and size ol grant instalments have been agreed for 24125 and 25126, to support Young Vi¢,$ 8¢tivity timeline an(1 cashllows. wth an indication ol further flexibility once the extension year lunding is approved. Taking into account the plans ouuined, related budgets and forecasts, and the ongoing support of major stakeholders including Arts Council England. the Trustees have concluded that the projections are sound, deliverable and controllable. They consider that there is a reasonable expectation Ihat the charity wll have sufficient funds to wntiftue to meet ils li8bililies as they fall due for the foreseeable ftjture and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going Concern basis. They will continue to work closely with the Executive Team and Finance Director throughout this period to ensure financial risks are identified and mitigaled as they arise and within the available resources.
