Thi5 continues to give us a solid foundation a5 we further recoup our reserves from our grown supplementary commercial ventures. Following a highly successful UK tour of Peaky Blinders.- The Redemption of Thoma5 Shelby, which played to strong audiences nationwide, the production has gone on to secure a significantty lucrative touring engagement in China. This seven-week tour straddling 25-26 and 2&27 financial years (March 2026 - April 20261, will generate an estimated surplus towards overheads, building back our reserves and reducing the brought forward loss on the production. This tour is expecting to generate over £200,000 in surplus for the Company, before tax relief considerations. The scale and commercial performance of the work have strengthened the organisation's financial position and demonstrated Rambert's ability to deliver large-scale productions with substantial international reach. The success of this production model has provided a clear strategic rationale and confidence to plan the development of a further large-scale work using a similar approach to commissioning. co-production and commercial touring, scheduled lor 2026-27. During the latter part of the 2024-25 financial year, Rambert operated in a materially constrained financial context, managing cashflow pressures alongside a temporary reduction in orEanisational capacity of 7 FTE roles following a restructuring of the administrative tearn. Despite these pressures, the organisation sustained delivery across its artistic, touring, participation and commercial activity, maintaining a total annual turnover of £3.2m while continuing to reach significant audiences in the UK and internationally.

Core public funding continues to provide a stable foundation, with Arts Council England NPO income held at £2.16m during the financial year. offering essential continuity and predictability for long-term planning.

The Peaky Blinder5 is scheduled to continue its tK>pular successful tour across the UK and Europe and prepares for a seven-week surplus generating tour in China in Spring 2026. Followingthe receipt of planning permission from Lambeth Council, we are engaging in mural advertising on our East and West facades and continuing to hire out our studios to grow our commercial income streams. We have several fundraising initiatives planned to best harness our upcoming centenary in June 2026 to secure specific grants and development opportunities. Cashflow is monitored continuously. The trustees have examined the future income forecasts and expenditure plans based on our planned activities, ensuring a balanced and strategic approach. To ensure smoother operations, we continue to utilise a bridging loan to cover our rfR claim from HMRC, mitigating the impact of potential delays. Earned income from charitable activities reduced compared to 2023-24, largely reflectingthe touring cycle and reduced boxoffice activity in a yearwithoutthe same scaleof domestic performances. However, this was partially oftset by growth in education-related activity such as Rambert Cla55room which added 56 schools in 2025, and Archive income, highlighting the organisation's ability to extract value from its intellectual and artistic assets beyond the stage. These strands, while smaller in absolute terms, contribute to income resilience and align closely with mission delivery. Our forecast for 25-26 showsoverall income of £5,826,189 across ourgTOUP from touring and building hires and other building initiatives. We have also forecasted. and cash flowed our 2&27 and 27-28 financial years. showing a return to surplus and building back of reserves, with a forec35ted operating Profit of £489,668 and £984,266 respectively.

Towards the end of the 2024-25 financial year, several international performances in Israel and Dubai were cancelled in response to the evolving conflict, reflecting a decision to prioritise staff safety and act in line with the organisation's values. While this reduced anticipated box office income, the experience strengthened Rambert's operational preparedness and risk planning, which has directly informed and supported the development of the forthcoming China tour in spring 2026. The set is expected to be fully depreciated in the 2025-26 financial year. Rambert Plus Digitsl engagement continued to grow in scale and value. Rambert Plus reached over 25,000 free members, with sustained engagement metrics including email open rates of 60-75% and ne£ligible unsubscribe rates.

Partnerships such as with the Southbank Centre in 2025-26 and Co-producers for oui China Tour in 25-26 and 26-27 allow Rambert to produce newwork with significant support and lower risk than in previous years and better manage cashflow. Fundraising Activitie5 and Income Generation Fundraising The Development team operated with three full time equivalents in 2024-25, supported by a Development Board chaired by Trustee, Beth Adams, and involving several ambassadors who champion the work of Rambert and invite contacts to events. Fundraising activity during the year laid imp)rtant groundwork for future growth. The organisation began structured planning for its centenary campaign, with a clear ambition to grow philanthropic income and diversify funding source5 over the medium term. Prospect research expanded significantly, with over 160 prospective donors identified for cultivation. and investment in systems and audience data continued to support more effective 5teward5hip and donor engagernent. Fundraising income in 2024-25 reflected both the challenging economic climate facing the arts sector and a period of strategic transition for Rambert's development actiwty. Total fundraised income from donations, legacies, grants. and public funding equated to £525k compared with £725k in prior year. This reduction was driven primarily by lower restricted income and the absence of legacy receipts in the yeaT1£112k in prior yearl. reflecting timing rather than a decline in underlying supporter commitment. Total income from donations and grants amounted to £355k, compared wth £487k in the previous year. Voluntary income shows encouraging signs of strategic shift rather than structural decline. While overall donations are lower than the previous year, individual giving increased substantially, with income from individuals rising more than fivefold. This suggests growing engagement with Rambert's work among individual supporters and reflects targeted efforts to strengthen personal philanthropy. Trusts and foundations income also grew Strongly year on year, reinforcing the value of sustained relatior15hip-based fundraising and a portfolio approach that reduces reliance on any single source. The absence ol legacy income in the year reflects timing rather than trend and does not undermine the underlying fundraising trajectory. Donations and legacies income reduced by £200k compared with the prior year, largely due to the profile and timinE of grant awards and no legacies in this financial year. Trusts and foundations income nevertheless Page 12
BALLET RAMBERT LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee and trading as Rambert Dance Company) performed strongly, increasing by £75k compared to prior year, supported by succe55ful applications and sustained relationship-based stewardship. Taken together, fijndraising income in 2024-25 demonstrates resilience in a difficult environment and a clear rebalancing towards more sustainable individual and trust-based giving. While total income reduced year on year, the underlying trajectory and strengthened pipeline position Rambert well for future development, particularly as centenary-related activity and international touring opwrtunities come on stream. Rambert rernains registered with the Fundraising Regulator and commits to our ftjndraising being compliant. open, honest and respectful, meeting the standards set in the Fundraising Code of Practice. We are aware of the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016, and the Trustees support the aims ofthis legislation. The majority of Rambert's voluntary income comes from other charitable bodies. We undertake very little direct fundiaising activity involving individual donors. Rambert considers the origin of unsolicited donations and legacies. We do not share or purchase any donor dats with or from third parties. In 2024-25 the charity did not engage with independent professional lundraisers. We also did not receive any complaints in relation to fundraising or need to address any significant matters with regulators. 2. Other Income Generation: A particularly p051tive feature of the year is the continued growth of commercial and other income stream5. Studio hire income increased by over 40%, reaching £300k and becoming a significant contributor to unrestricted income. This reflects successful optimisation of Rambert's estate and demand for high-quality creative spaces, generatingflexible income that can be reinvested into core 3Ctivity- Income from building rental, service provision, memberships and workspace hire also grew, demonstrating the maturity of Rambert's mixed-use model and reducing exposure to volatility in iK)x office or donations. In 24-25 other income streams included. £300,148 generated through hiring our studiDS lan improvement from £213,781 in 23-241, as well as our onsite physio clinic Rebalance who brought us £35,802. a. Measures taken to mitigate financial risk Rambert's has revamped in iisk management process. having moved to a more objective centric and inter- dependent approach that better informs Trustees of the risk trade-offs of deci5i0n-making. Projects are subject to green lighting, with Board oversight, assessing the financial viability of each undertaking. Cashflow is monitored continuously, and the trustees believe that in general temis, taking the continuing uncertain economic climate into account. the group needs to have access to liquid reserves of at least £250,000 within the current account. During 2024-25. as reserve5 were below target, we maintained an overdraft facility with our bank, Natwest. Over the year, Rambert has tsken a rneasured and proactiveapproach to managingfinancial risk in a challenging economic environment. The Board and Executive refreshed the organisation's strategy and risk register, strengthening oversight and ensuring that emerging pressures were actively monitored. Income risk was diversified through a strong touring programme, international partner5hip5, digital activity. and the expansion of commercial studio hire, which more than doubled income since 2022. Cost pressures were addressed through operational efficiencies and, where necessary, difficult but prudent decisions to Stabilise the organisation, including a restructuring of the administrative team. Employment models balanced artistic ambition with financial responsibility, maintaining a permanent ensemble while drawing on fixed-term contracts and freelancers to retsin flexibility. Investment in new finance and CRM systems has further strengthened financial control and governance, improving the quality of real-time data to support informed decision-making and long-terrn sU5tainability- Expenditure is tightly controlled. budgets are set in advance with Finance Committee approval and monitored by the Executive, who meet weekly. Variance5 Of actuals against budgets are iteratively reported to and reviewed by the Finance Committee for awareness, and specific expenditure whether for a specific project or one-off expense over £50.000 requires their approval in advance of expenditure being incurred. There was no one off Page 13
BALLET RAMBERT LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee and trading as Rambert Dance Company) expenditure requiring Finance Committee approval in 24-25 outside of the regulargovernance cycle, given there was no short-term expenditure over£50,000. Protocolsare in place and regularlydiscussed amongst Executives, to ensure steps are taken to protect the company should predicted income not come in. Risks in 2024-25 included an increased reliance on reachinE high box office targets, which were monitored through weekly sales reports, and ongoing rising cost of business, which were mitigated through restructuring, reforecasting. reducing additional activity to focus on supporting the delivery of Peaky Blinders The Redemption of Thoma5 Shelby by Rambert Productions Limited. and cash rnanagement as discussed above. Rambert's risk exposure was significantly lower in 24-25 due to our artistic programme choices and box office targets, however the mitigations remain in place to ensure the that the Finance Committee and board have good oversight in this area. with risk increasing again towards the end of 25-26 as a result of delayed fundraising and commercial incorne, which has now been confirrned. The risk to financial sustainability has therefore been reduced and will continue to reduce in 26-27 as determined by a two-year budget showing operating surpluses to rebuild reserves. Reserve5 As at 31 March 2025, Ballet Rambert Limited's unrestricted re5erve5 are in deficit by £302,85512024 deficit of £251,374), with restricted reserves of £105,82012024- £102,515) relating to monies received in advance on projects which are yet to take place. Our free reseNes position for Ballet Rambert Limited has a deficit of £785k which 15 SUPPOrted by Rambert Trust Limited. Whilst there 15 a deficit, Rambert continues to be committed to targeted cost saving initiatives, which have been reflected in our budgeting process, fegular review of processes for greater efficiency, and new revenue streams. It is the intention to rebuild reseNes followinE the pandemic. The Trustees have examined the forecasts for the levels of income in future year5 together with a similar examination of expenditure based upon planned activity- The trustees believe that in general terms, taking the continuinguncertain economic climate into account, ideally the group should have access to reserves of at least £750,000. However, to begin to rebuild reserves after the pandemic, Rambert is first focusing on building up a reserves balance of £250,000 in the next few year5 before reaching its longer-term ambition of £750.000. Going concern Despite our current deftcit, our core revenue fttnding of £2,164,251 in this financial year and £2,199,099 in 25126 from Arts Council England IACEI as a National Portfolio Organisation has been secured to March 2028. with a 5Yo uplift for our 2026-27 financial year. As di5CU55ed above under 'Financial review,, we have initiatives scheduled to improve our financial position which will be managed and monitored closelywith Trustee oversight. Several initiatives were rolled out in 2025 to generate further income and reduce the company's recurring fixed costs: Two members of staff were made redundant, and roles were frozen across each Directorate. Rambert's portfolio of classes have been re-reviewed to provide a more profrtable offer for the Company whilst ensuring the values and requirements of the NPO investment principles are duly achieved. Rambert's investment in its studio hire facility has led to significant Erowth of interest and resultant revenue. The organisation hired its space to the BFI Film Festival in October 2025. We have secured planning permission to engage mural advertising on our east and west facades. Rambert has partnered with internationally renowned, Global Street Art for a monthly fee ot £50,000 foreach 28-day period of advertising from the start of financial year 26-27. These initiatives will continue to support our financial position and support the company in regrowng its reseNes arter they were depleted by the Pandemic. Alter making appropriate enquiries and, reviewing the Company's forecasts the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 month5 from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Company has a budget and sUPPOrting cashflow for further financial years that show two years of surpluses that will be used to build ieserves. For this Page 14
BALLET RAMBERT LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee and trading as Rambert Dance Company) reason, the Trustees consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements.

BALLET RAMBERT LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee and trading as Rambert Dance Company) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BALLET RAMBERT LIMITED (CONTINUED) Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Trustees, responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees detemiine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or eor. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. disdosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going oncern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic altemative but to do so. Page 20
BALLET RAMBERT LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee and trading as Rambert Dance Company) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BALLET RAMBERT LIMITED (CONTINUED) Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors, report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wth ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when rt exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line th our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the industry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the charity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit prOdureS to respond to the risk. recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by. for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006, UK tax legislation, Charities Act and Charity Commission guidelines. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial ststements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing joumals and evaluating whether there S evidence of bias by the trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance v4ith laws and regulations throughout the audit 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 -uklauditorsres onsibilities.
