Capital structure and allocation: Balance sheet strength enabling shareholder returns
• Following the exercise of the investor put on the 2027 Convertible Bond, there is a residual $6m maturity in December 2027, and no other financing maturities until 2029 (RCF), 2030 and 2032 (Eurobonds)
• In 2025, the Company returned $144m to shareholders via share buybacks ($130m) and dividends ($14m)
• The Company announced the first tranche of the 2026 share buyback on 31 December, and today, announce an increase of another $50m to the buyback programme
• The Board has recommended a final dividend for 2025 of 0.93¢ representing an increase of 3% in the final dividend per share and resulting in a total dividend for 2025 of 1.38¢
• We maintain our commitment to a BBB credit rating
Mark Dixon, Chief Executive of International Workplace Group plc, said:
"We set out a clear strategy at our first Investor Day in New York in December 2023 for capital light growth to deliver cashflow and business simplification. As we outlined in our Investor Day in December 2025 - this is what we have been delivering on, and we will continue to do so.
We continue to have structural tailwinds and a business which is both prepared for and delivering network growth. In the last twelve months, more locations were opened than we had open after fifteen years of operating. We now have over 1 million rooms in over 120 countries with a significant pipeline. This is expected to drive our future growth in revenue, EBITDA and cash flow"
Outlook and guidance
2026 has started as expected and we maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook for the year. We reiterate our full-year guidance as outlined at the Investor Day on 4 December 2025:
- Adjusted EBITDA of $585m-$625m, on the assumption that this will be driven predominantly by revenue growth rather than cost reduction
- Further share buybacks with a second tranche of $50m, taking the announced programme to $100m for the year so far
- Continued medium-term guidance to deliver at least $1bn EBITDA.

Chairman's Review
Our performance
During 2025, IWG continued to deliver on the execution of its strategy, strengthening our position as the world's leading platform for enabling work where, when and how it is conducted. Our capital-light approach to growth combined with strong operating results enabled a significant return of cash to shareholders during 2025 through our share buyback and dividend programmes while simultaneously adding a record number of new locations to our network.
We are entering 2026 with a strong pipeline for additional capital light location openings alongside the continuation of our share buyback programme. This momentum combined with operational discipline underpins both our growth ambitions and our commitment to delivering sustainable shareholder returns.
Our strategy
IWG's rapid growth reflects our ability to anticipate and respond to constant changes in how businesses across the world wish to manage and consume workspace. Our achievements against a backdrop of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty reflects the resilience of our capital-light operating model and sustained demand for flexible workspace solutions.
Our effective combination of technology with the world's largest network of flexible workspace provides organisations with adaptable workspace solutions that are conveniently located near their workforce and tailored to their requirements. By addressing the wide-ranging needs of audiences that include workers, local businesses, businesses in multiple markets, and building owners, we deliver greater efficiency and choice for customers, attractive returns for our partners and shareholders, and long-term opportunities for our people.
Our people
Once again, the professionalism and commitment of our teams in markets across the world have provided the cornerstone of our continued success and accelerating growth. On behalf of the Board, I would like to recognise the outstanding contribution of our colleagues globally, whose focus on operational excellence and customer service continues to differentiate IWG in competitive markets. IWG remains committed to fostering an engaging and inclusive working environment that enables them to develop and build successful careers.
Our sustainability journey
IWG is actively navigating the evolution of sustainability parameters, technical and regulatory requirements, market developments and stakeholder expectations. During 2025 we continued to make substantial progress on our sustainability journey including the development of our Net Zero Transition Plan that will guide our future activities. Sustainability considerations are embedded in our governance and operating processes and we will issue our first standalone Sustainability Report during the second half of 2026, further enhancing transparency for our stakeholders
Our Board
We are focused on the execution of the strategy and managing succession at the Board level. This was reflected in several appointments during 2025, with Lázaro Campos joining the board as Senior Independent Director and Stephen Jennings joining the board as Chair of the Nomination Committee. Both of these individuals bring significant relevant business and board experience to IWG. Their appointments increased the number of independent directors and depth of expertise as Board composition, effectiveness and succession remain ongoing priorities. I would like to thank all of the Board members for their commitment and constructive input during 2025 contributing to the delivery of value for all IWG stakeholders.
Looking ahead
We are at a moment when the world of work is changing faster and more significantly than ever before. Technological advancements, including the rapid evolution of AI are reshaping how and where work is undertaken. This dynamic environment creates new possibilities that are very well served by the IWG operating model. Flexibility remains central to success in such a fast-changing environment, and this is precisely what IWG delivers to our customers and partners.
As we look to 2026 and beyond, I am confident that IWG's unique position within the world of work will continue to support its positive evolution, driven by the effective execution of a strategy that meets the needs of millions of workers, their employers, building owners, communities, our people and our shareholders.

Chief Executive Officer's Review
In 2025, a significant milestone was achieved with more new locations signed and opened in a single year than in the entire first two decades of our operations. Our network now comprises more than one million rooms in over 120 countries and with a substantial pipeline in place, our growth will continue to accelerate rapidly in the years ahead.
We remain laser-focused on rapidly expanding our coverage to create a truly global network of buildings from the largest cities to smaller towns and the provinces. Our capital-light expansion strategy, delivered through partnerships with property owners and investors, enables companies of all sizes to work productively in locations that are convenient to their people.
Increasingly, our solutions are helping companies move away from the expense and inflexibility of long-term leases, replacing them with flexible, cost-effective agreements for smaller fully equipped spaces in one of our centres. At the same time, they retain the ability to access more than 5,000 locations worldwide.
The significant growth of platform and hybrid working has revolutionised how and where people work, bringing significant productivity benefits and lower costs to companies while transforming the working lives of their teams.
Over the past few years, these more flexible ways of working have become the default model for a significant proportion of white-collar workers with companies empowering their employees to work across multiple locations, splitting their time between local workspaces, a central office and home.
This is not simply a change in how people work, rather a rebalancing of where economic value is created. The days of needing to be tethered to a central HQ are behind us. Technology has changed everything, effectively removing the need for daily long and expensive commutes.
This long-term shift towards the hybrid model is one of the mega-trends of our time and represents a substantial financial opportunity for IWG. 83% of CEOs are already empowering their teams to work from multiple locations and with 1.2 billion white-collar workers globally, our industry has a total addressable audience valued at more than $2 trillion. Platform working is set to become the norm for many of these employees.
In 2025, we had the opportunity to partner with Arup to explore the productivity gains of more localised working for businesses of all sizes, as well as the economic advantages for them and their communities. This along with the existing research by Professor Nicholas Bloom - a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research has contributed greatly to our understanding of the productivity benefits of more flexible ways of working.
This collective research confirms what we've long seen coming: working from local offices and workspaces closer to where people live doesn't just improve the quality of life for employees, it also delivers major productivity benefits for businesses, cities and entire economies.
The Rise of Platform Working
Today, the remarkable advances in cloud technology and video conferencing software - both vital to enabling effective hybrid working - mean workers no longer need to travel long distances daily. As a result, we are seeing a redistribution of the geography of work with teams able to spend a meaningful amount of time in their local communities alongside the city centre. Innovations in technology will continue to advance in years to come and will radically underline and fuel the flexibility of location.
The rising demand for more localised working has led to a large number of our new IWG centres opening in the heart of local communities, suburbs and rural areas, enabling many people around the world to say farewell to long daily commutes.
Small towns have seen a dramatic increase in new locations with signings in the U.S. including Franklin, TX, Berwyn, PA and Bloomfield Hills, MI, all with populations below 5,000, while at the same time our customers can access a growing number of premium and flagship city centre locations ranging from the Chrysler Building in New York to the upcoming Olympia development in London.
Strategy
At our most recent Investor Day in December 2025, I was pleased to update the market that our strategy to grow the most extensive coverage and network in a capital-light manner is working, and it has enabled us to return significant capital to shareholders. We expect to continue to deliver both cashflow and growth in the years ahead.
We are continuing to make ongoing investments into our world-class platform as well as our marketing operations. These investments will enable us to deliver on the rapid growth of our network coverage in partnership with the property industry and investors using capital-light expansion methods such as management agreements, partnering deals and franchising.
The shift towards hybrid and more localised working is propelling our business forward with the fastest growth ever seen in our history. In 2025, we added a record number of locations globally, signing 1,132 centres and achieved our highest-ever revenues. We are the partner of choice for businesses of all sizes including large enterprises with approximately 85% of the Fortune 500 amongst our customer base and an equally impressive 84% of our customers using multiple products and services.
During the year, we accelerated our capital-light growth strategy allowing us to capitalise on the growing number of property investors seeking to maximise their returns by partnering with IWG. There are currently over 1,300 centres in our rapidly expanding pipeline.
Focusing on growth through the capital-light business means that growth capex requirements will be dramatically lower in the future, generating more free cash flow for shareholders.
We are increasingly seeing partners sign multiple locations with IWG as they grasp the scale of the opportunity in front of them. My greatest thanks go to all our valued property owners and investors who have chosen to partner with us and as a business we are resolutely committed to the long-term success of these partnerships.
Market Leader in Innovation
As the market-leader in the structurally growing flexible and platform working industry, we are exceptionally well positioned for the long term. Not only do we lead the market on global reach, but also in a number of crucially important areas for future growth such as our home work products.
IWG has created an outstanding Research and Development team to ensure we are at the forefront of innovation. We will continue to add new concepts and platforms to widen our offer further to our expanding customer base.
The Transformative Impact of Technology and AI
Hybrid working and digital technology have always had a symbiotic relationship. Each wave of technological innovation enables more fluid collaboration across geographies and teams, as well as between businesses, fuelling the growth of hybrid. As a company, we are using AI more and more across our business and it is improving our operations and making us more efficient.
The ongoing rise and adoption of AI will be beneficial for IWG and we will continue to be agile, adapting to new ways of working and harnessing its benefits to significantly drive efficiency and increase the velocity of our business. We expect even greater use of our network as companies grow their adoption of AI.
Our Financial Performance
With such strong momentum globally behind the shift to platform and hybrid working, confirmed by our financial results for 2025, our record system revenue, EBITDA, and network growth have allowed us to increase and extend our share buyback.
Our financial performance reinforces that we are successfully executing our strategic goals and leave us well-positioned for 2026 and beyond.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our incredible team members that were the driving force behind the rapid growth of our global network and an excellent set of financial results. I would also like to acknowledge the tireless hard work of our Finance department who were responsible for the successful conversion of our reporting framework to US GAAP, the Group-wide ERP implementation programme, and continued investment in AI and automation.
Looking ahead
The future for IWG and all our stakeholders remains bright. We continue to grow our customer base, which is up 6% year-on-year, as well as our global network and best-in-class portfolio of locations and brands, while delivering on our capital-light expansion strategy.
2025 was a record year for both revenue and network expansion and provides the foundations for continued growth in the year ahead. With 1.2 billion white-collar workers globally and a potential audience valued at more than $2 trillion, there is substantial room for growth and as a company, we are absolutely committed to capturing more of this market over the years ahead.

Chief Financial Officer's Review
2025 delivered in line with guidance as we expected and outlined at the 2024 full-year results presentation in March 2025. We had the highest-ever network growth at 782 openings, with System-wide revenue of $4.5bn, Adjusted EBITDA of $531m, positive earnings for a second consecutive year and underlying cashflow before shareholder returns of $162m. This enabled us to deliver capital returns to investors of $144m, comprising dividends of $14m and share buybacks of $130m. During 2025 we have also:
- Converted our reporting framework to US GAAP
- Completed the reorganisation of the Group's operating segments
- Undertaken a Group-wide ERP implementation and continued to invest in AI and automation
- Strengthened our balance sheet further with no refinancing needs until 2029 through the issuance of a €300m
- Investment Grade bond in May, fully hedged into USD reducing FX volatility
These changes will enable us to capitalise on our scale as the business grows while delivering further on our existing capital allocation policy with the dividend and continued share buyback programme.
Group income statement
We again show strong system-wide revenue performance during 2025 which is driving further capital-light income and therefore the business's transition towards a fee-driven model.

Segmental reporting
Up to 31 December 2025 the Company has been organised into three operating segments based on the types of services provided, namely the IWG Network (Company-owned and Managed & Franchised) and Digital & Professional Services.
Company-owned comprises leased and owned properties, Managed & Franchised comprises all centres that IWG operate on behalf of building owners or under franchise agreements, and Digital & Professional Services comprises enterprise managed real estate (where IWG manage space on behalf of an enterprise customer with a back-to-back lease in place) and other activities such as digital services, brokerage and consulting.
As announced at the Investor Day in December 2025, Digital & Professional Services reporting will be integrated into the other two segments in 2026 as follows:
- Enterprise Managed real estate business will be reported in the Company-owned segment
- Virtual Office revenues associated with Company-owned locations reported in Company-owned segment; and
- Digital, brokerage and consulting services will be reported in the Managed & Franchised segment
The Managed & Franchised segment under both the old and new structure carries no lease liability as IWG does not hold the underlying property leases when it manages a site on behalf a third party.
The two segments are presented below with a reconciliation to the three segments in the APM section.
Revenue
Group system-wide revenue increased by 4% to $4,453m. Group revenue stayed flat at $3,762m. This reflects the ongoing transition to a capital‑light model, with the Managed & Franchised segment accounting for a growing share of system‑wide revenue. While this segment remains smaller in absolute revenue terms, the profitability of these revenues is significantly higher than that of the Company‑owned segment, reinforcing the strategic value of this shift.
Our Managed & Franchised business delivered 28% system-revenue growth year-over-year to $876m (FY24: $682m) and $185m of segment revenue. Fee income increased by 60% to $126m (2024: $79m), of which recurring management fees grew 2.4x to $45m (2024: $19m). The growth in this segment is driven by the unprecedented number of centre openings, 782 during 2025, where signings continue to convert into openings at pace and therefore become revenue generating
Company-owned remained stable, delivering segment revenue of $3,577m.

Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR)
RevPAR is a monthly average KPI, defined as the system-wide revenue excluding the Managed Real Estate business (where IWG manage space on behalf of an enterprise customer with a back-to-back lease in place), and excluding centres opened and closed during the year, divided by the number of available rooms, which is defined as 7 square metres across all usable space. RevPAR is a well understood measure used across many industries and is particularly relevant to IWG as it incorporates all revenue received across IWG's expansive product portfolio.
Given the scale of growth and room additions that the Company is adding to the Network, RevPAR excluding centres opened in 2024 is presented below to show RevPAR progression excluding the impact of centres not yet mature. It is expected that the higher-growth segments will show a falling year-over-year RevPAR because new locations that have opened but are not yet mature are contained within the calculation.
Managed RevPAR is $211 (2024: $256) and excluding 2024 and 2025 openings is $350, being driven by new centre revenue performing in line with our plans. RevPAR in our franchised locations was $511 (2024: $499) which is higher than in our Managed Partnerships locations due to: (a) franchise locations being predominantly in high RevPAR countries, in particular Japan and Switzerland; (b) the higher maturity of franchise locations which have been operating for many years. As we have previously disclosed, RevPAR on these additional Managed Partnerships rooms is targeted to be $250 at maturity.
RevPAR in Company-owned for 2025 was $340, down by ~5% (2024: $357). This is due to price reductions to drive long-term occupancy. Higher occupancy also drives more revenue capture opportunity through ancillary services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
Group SG&A increased in 2025 to $546m (2024: $514m). Core overheads remained flat as we continue to manage costs effectively, discretionary overheads increased as we selectively invest in growth, specifically:
• $30m on the Partnership sales team, an additional investment of $5m year-over-year, to ensure we maintain our market leading position. We signed 1,132 new deals in 2025 vs 899 in 2024, and whilst our partnership sales team is an ongoing cost, we are expecting that the cost will be less than signings growth, therefore margins should continue to grow
• $46m of marketing spend, an additional $33m year-over-year, to support the brand and centre growth, in particular additional marketing spend to increase the success of new centre openings
• $9m of project costs, $4m increase year-over-year, recognised on one-off investments into the scalability of our sales and operating platform as we continue to optimise and automate processes.
Operating Income
Operating Income increased to $143m. The increase in gross profit was offset by year-over-year increases in SG&A of $32m, allowance for credit losses of $5m, and impairments and gain / loss on disposals of long-lived assets of $4m.
Net finance expense
The Group reported a net finance expense of $100m (2024: $84m). The increase is predominantly due to higher interest rates on Group debt following refinancing transactions completed in 2024 and the repayment of the convertible bond. The Group did not believe a lower coupon on the convertible bond merited additional dilution risk.
The net finance expense in 2025 includes cash interest of $87m related to borrowing facilities (2024: $64m). All the Group's Eurobonds are hedged into USD using cross-currency interest rate swaps. Under the swap agreements, interest is paid semi-annually in Q2 and Q4. Other finance costs predominantly include commitment fees and bank charges on facilities such as the $720m revolving credit facility and guarantees.
As of 31 December 2025, the cross-currency interest rate swaps had a positive fair value of $87m.

Taxation
The estimated annual effective tax rate in 2025 is 74% (2024: 69%). The Group has performed an assessment of its potential exposure to Pillar Two global minimum income taxes and does not expect any material top-up taxes to arise in any jurisdiction in which it operates. The majority of the Group's entities benefit from transitional safe harbour rules which take them out of scope of the full rules, and the remaining countries are not expected to give rise to any material top-up tax. This position is unchanged from year end 2024.
Given the Group's global footprint across over 120 countries, it is not possible to take advantage of tax grouping on a global basis. As a result, the aggregation of tax paid in individual countries can lead to a high effective tax rate on group profits in certain periods. Although it is difficult to predict the impact of developments in global taxation, as profitability of the Group increases it is expected that the effective tax rate will fall.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders in 2025 was a profit of 1.8c (2024: profit of 1.8c). Adjusted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders in 2025 was a profit of 4.8c (2024: profit of 2.8c).
The weighted average number of shares in issue during the period was 1,007,813,563 (2024: 1,009,815,216). At 31 December 2025 the Group held 15,307,650 treasury shares (31 December 2024: 45,241,020). During the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024, share awards of 14,693,363 and 9,320,378, respectively, had a dilutive effect with a negligible impact on the basic earnings per share.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Group's Adjusted EBITDA increased to $531m (2024: $501m).

Network growth
Unprecedented network expansion, increasing our footprint by 16% to 4,609 centres (2024: 3,989). We opened 782 new centres (2024: 624 centres) and rationalised 162 centres (2024: 149 centres). Furthermore, 1,132 new centre deals were signed in 2025. Out of the 1,132 new deals signed 99% of the deals are capital-light which underpins our success of growing the network with minimal capital expenditure.
Of the 782 centres opened in 2025, 769 centres were capital-light openings which comprised managed partnership centres, variable rent centres, franchised centres and joint-venture centres. Only 13 centre openings were on a fully conventional basis.
Our estate of 4,609 centres as per the end of December 2025 is split into 41% or 1,891 in Managed & Franchised, which increased by 69% year-on-year, and 2,718 centres in Company-owned, of which 756 have variable rents. Strong growth in Managed partnership openings is expected to continue through 2026.

1. Expenses in relation to employee share awards are included in Adjusted EBITDA
2. Cash flow before growth capex, tax, finance cost on bank & other facilities, financing activities and dividends
We continued to grow our business and revenues whilst managing our cost base, delivering a 60% increase in cash inflow before corporate activities in 2025 of $162m (2024: $101m). Cash flow was positively impacted by payments which were scheduled in 2025, but were paid at the start of 2026. Working capital relating the depreciation of landlord contributions (cost reimbursements) on leased properties refers to historic cash contributions made by landlords for growth capex in the Company-owned segment (shown as growth-related partner contributions further down the cash flow statement) and is amortised over the lifetime of the corresponding lease.
Cash tax paid was $(34)m in 2025 (2024: $(35)m) and primarily relates to corporate income tax and withholding taxes paid in various countries in which the Group operates. Finance costs paid on bank and other facilities was $(82)m in 2025 vs. $(74)m in 2024, the increase of which is due to the refinancing transactions completed in 2024 and 2025.
Cash inflow before growth capex, financing and dividends was $244m (2024: $167m).
Total net capex was $174m in 2025 (2024: $112m). Maintenance capex was $92m in 2025 (2024: $49m) and has evolved as expected, and, as previously guided, is expected to be around $100m and growing with inflation going forward. Net growth capex was $82m in 2025 (2024: $63m but $88m as previously reported on a pre-IFRS 16 basis). Net growth capex increased in 2025 primarily due to two factors: firstly, timing differences in the enterprise managed real estate business between when contributions were received and when the related capex was spent and secondly, under US GAAP, capex is recognised when the cash is actually paid. Some accrued (unpaid) capex from 2024 was settled in mid‑2025, which has driven a higher year‑on‑year capex outflow on a US GAAP basis. These two factors should be considered alongside the working capital inflow for 2025.

Financing
During 2025 the Group successfully completed an additional debt transaction, extending the Group's debt maturity, and repurchased a further proportion of the Convertible Bond:
- €300m Euro bonds at an issuance price of 99.369%, a fixed coupon rate of 5.125% and a bullet maturity of 14 May 2032. The bonds are traded on the London Stock Exchange's International Securities Market and were fully hedged into USD, along with the previously unhedged portion of the Group's €625m Euro bonds.
- 2027 0.5% Convertible Bond:
o The Company repurchased £18m ($23m) face value of the Convertible Bond at a weighted average price of £0.966, including accrued interest, representing a consideration of £17m ($22m).
o On 9 December 2025, bondholders exercised their option to cash settle at par and the Company repaid £136m ($183m) face value of the Convertible Bonds at a weighted average price of £1, including accrued interest, representing consideration of £136m ($183m).
o The Company also closed out all the remaining forward exchange contracts relating to the Convertible Bond on 9 December 2025
o Following these transactions, £5m ($6m) in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Bond remains outstanding.
Net debt
Net financial debt was $(715)m at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: $(729)m). Net debt came in below expectations this year, and we anticipate it will rise through 2026 to slightly above 2024 levels. The Group's total debt facilities, including details of drawings, is summarised below:

Dividends
In line with the Group's dividend policy, the Board has agreed to pay a final dividend of 0.93¢ per share (2024: 0.90¢ per share). The dividend is expected to be paid on 29 May 2026 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 1 May 2026. Dividends are declared in US dollars and paid in pounds sterling with an option for shareholders to elect to receive payment in US dollars. The foreign exchange rate at which the final dividend will be converted into pounds sterling will be the New York closing rate on 1 May 2026.
Share buyback
IWG repurchased and cancelled 48,512,425 ordinary shares for $130m during 2025, equating to 4.5% of share capital outstanding. The programme average purchase price was £2.0113, a 13.1% discount to the share price as at 31 December 2025. A $50m tranche of a new programme for 2026 was announced on 31 December 2025. All share buybacks have been carried out in accordance with the authorisation granted by Shareholders.

Risk management
Effective management of risk is an ongoing concern for the Group, and crucially, integral to our growth planning. A detailed assessment of the principal risks and uncertainties which could impact the Group's long-term performance and the risk management structure in place to identify, manage and mitigate such risk will be included in the 2025 Annual Report and Accounts.
Related parties
There have been no changes to the type of related party transactions entered into by the Group that had a material effect on the financial statements for 2025. Details of related party transactions that have taken place in the period can be found in Note 23.
Going concern
The Group reported a profit after tax of $15m in 2025 (2024: profit of $18m). Cashflow before growth capex and corporate activities but after interest and tax was $244m (2024: $167m). Furthermore, net cash of $364m (2024: $272m) was generated from operations during the same period. Although the Group's balance sheet at 31 December 2025 reports a net current liability position of $2,068m (31 December 2024: $2,277m), the Directors concluded after a comprehensive review that no liquidity risk exists as:
1. The Group had funding available under the Group's $720m revolving credit facility of $436m (31 December 2024: $381m) which was available and undrawn at 31 December 2025. The facility's current maturity date is June 2029;
2. A significant proportion of the net current liability position is due to lease liabilities which are held in non-recourse special purpose vehicles but also with a corresponding right-of-use asset. A large proportion of the net current liabilities comprise non-cash liabilities such as deferred revenue of $334m (31 December 2024: $539m) is expected to be recognised in future periods through the income statement. The Group holds short-term customer deposits of $621m (31 December 2024: $584m) which are spread across a large number of customers and no deposit held for an individual customer is material;
3. The Group maintains a 12-month rolling forecast and a three-year strategic outlook. It also monitors the covenants in its debt facilities to manage the risk of potential breach. The Group expects to be able to refinance external debt and/or renew committed facilities as they become due, which is the assumption made in the viability scenario modelling, and to remain within covenants throughout the forecast period. In reaching this conclusion, the Directors have assessed:
· the potential cash generation of the Group against a range of illustrative scenarios (including a severe but plausible outcome); and
· mitigating actions to reduce operating costs and optimise cash flows during any ongoing global uncertainty.
4. Has ability to access further liquidity through the debt capital markets as demonstrated through the bond issuance in 2024 and 2025
5. An external assessment from Fitch, a leading global credit rating agency, which has rated the Group and its listed bonds as investment grade with a BBB (Stable) rating and has continued to monitor the Group's financial performance since the initial rating assessment.
Due to the above, the Group does not believe the net current liabilities represents a liquidity risk. The Directors consider that the Group is well placed to successfully manage the actual and potential risks faced by the organisation including risks related to inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions.
On the basis of their assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these Group consolidated financial statements and consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements of the Group.

These amounts include cost reimbursements of $7 million, $8 million, and $27 million, as well as lease incentives of $42 million, $48 million, and $30 million. This is offset by the non-cash amortisation of previous landlord contributions on leased properties receivable of $130 million (2024: $117 million).
2. Restricted cash is presented within Other current assets and Other non-current assets. Refer to Footnote 2, Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further details. All cash in cash and cash equivalents is unrestricted.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
In assessing the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis consideration was given to forecast cash flows (including stress testing), liquidity requirements and covenant compliance. The forecasts indicate that the Company will remain within its existing facilities and comply with all banking covenants throughout the assessment period under both base case and reasonably possible downside scenarios.
Based on the assessment performed, there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries and other non-wholly owned entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including variable interest entities ("VIE") for which we are the primary beneficiary.
The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest based on either the variable interest entity (VIE) or voting interest model. The Company is required to first apply the VIE model to determine whether it holds a variable interest in an entity, and if so, whether the entity is a VIE. If the Company determines it does not hold a variable interest in a VIE, it then applies the voting interest model. Under the voting interest model, the Company consolidates an entity when it holds a majority voting interest in an entity.
The Company determines, at the inception of each arrangement, whether an entity in which it has made an investment or in which it has other variable interests in is to be considered a VIE. An entity is considered to be a VIE if any of the following conditions exist: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lack either the direct or indirect ability through voting rights or similar rights to make decisions that have a significant effect on the success of the entity or the obligation to absorb the entity's expected losses or right to receive the entity's expected residual returns, or (c) the voting rights of some equity investors are disproportionate to their obligation to absorb losses of the entity, their rights to receive returns from an entity, or both and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Periodically, the Company determines whether any changes in its interest or relationship with the entity impact the determination of whether the entity is still a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. If the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a VIE, the Company accounts for the investment or other variable interest in a VIE in accordance with the applicable requirements of US GAAP.
All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References in these financial statements to net income (loss) attributable to the Company and total shareholders' equity (deficit) - the Company do not include noncontrolling interests, which represent the third-party ownership interests of our consolidated non-wholly owned entities and are reported separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity.
Noncontrolling interests primarily related to The Instant Group. On 8 March 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest in The Instant Group (reference Note 13, Acquisitions, for further details). In a separate transaction, the Company sold a 13.4% noncontrolling equity interest in a subsidiary of the Digital and Professional Services structure for a consideration of $69 million.
During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company increased its equity voting rights in a Digital and Professional Services subsidiary to 89.3% (from 86.6% as of 31 December 2023) for $14 million. The purchase was in accordance with election agreements originally enacted during the establishment of Digital and Professional Services in 2022.
On 30 April 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining noncontrolling interests in the Digital and Professional Services reportable segment in exchange for 23,095,239 common shares of International Workplace Group plc. From May 2025 onward, the Company no longer has any material non-controlling interests.
In 2020, Redox Plc was deconsolidated from the Company due to a loss of control following bankruptcy proceedings. As a result of emergence from bankruptcy on 25 April 2025, the Company reassessed its involvement with Redox Plc in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, and determined it had regained control of the entity. The criterion for applying fresh start accounting for Redox Plc is not met as the Company held 100% of the voting shares before commencement of the proceedings and upon emergence from bankruptcy. As part of regaining control, the Company received $20 million in cash and recognised $6 million of accrued expenses and other current liabilities, which were recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the corresponding Consolidated Statements of Operations impact included in Selling, general and administrative expenses. The results of operations from Redox Plc are included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements from 25 April 2025.
Reorganisation
Upon completion of the acquisition of the remaining non-controlling interests in the Digital and Professional Services subsidiary on 30 April 2025, the Company reorganised its reporting structure ("Reorganisation"), changing the composition of operating segments within the Digital and Professional Services reportable segment. To reflect the Reorganisation, assets and liabilities (including goodwill) were reassigned between reportable segments. Please reference Note 4, Segments, and Note 14, Goodwill and intangible assets, for further information.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, in accordance with US GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported, disclosed and, accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on the information available at the time and its experiences. The estimates underlying the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements relate to, among other things, cash flows used in the assessment of impairment of goodwill, intangibles, property and equipment and right-of-use assets, reserves for uncertain tax positions, valuation of derivatives, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, incremental borrowing rates on leases and the fair value of property and equipment, intangibles and leasehold assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. Adjustments may be made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's primary activity is the provision of fully integrated, end-to-end flexible global workspace solutions to customers. Revenue represents the total amount receivable for services provided, excluding sales-related taxes and intercompany transactions. The Company's primary revenue categories, related performance obligations and associated revenue recognition patterns are as follows:
Workspace
Within the Company-owned segment, the Company acts as principal in these arrangements as it controls the workspace through direct ownership or a leasing arrangement. Performance obligations are satisfied over time by transferring services relating to the provision of the workspace through contracts with customers which may take the form of sub-leases which are classified as operating leases. These contracts include different forms of workspace including coworking, meeting room, fixed, day and virtual workspaces.
Invoices are issued monthly 30-60 days in advance and initially recognised as deferred revenue (contract liability) with payments due from customers in advance of the provision of the workspace or in accordance with a sub-lease payment schedule. Customer deposits are billed and collected prior to services being provided, enhancing customer collectability.
Customer contracts vary in length and typically include renewal options. Revenue on these contracts is recognised over the initial contract period only. Transaction price is predominantly fixed in customer contracts with any variability in the transaction price relating to the volume of customer usage of the workspace recognised in the period of usage or pricing escalators. When the transaction price is discounted in the opening period of the term of the contract, revenue recognised is constrained to the amount invoiced in the appropriate period. Sub-lease income is typically accounted for on a straight line basis over the term of the sub-lease.
Fee Income
The Company acts as an agent in these arrangements as it operates but does not lease or control the workspace related to the services that are provided. Performance obligations are satisfied over time by transferring services relating to the provision of management and franchise services relating to the use of physical and virtual workspace.
The Company generates revenue through a management fee model whereby the Company enters into operational support arrangements for the respective centre location on behalf of the partner. The Company also generates revenue through a franchise model whereby the Company enters franchise arrangements licensing its symbolic intellectual property (e.g., Regus, Spaces brands) and proprietary methods / processes.
Fees received for the provision of initial set up fees are recognised at a point-in time when they relate to separate and distinct performance obligations. The contractual price for initial set up fees is typically considered to reflect the attributable transaction price. Subsequent services are recognised over time as the services are rendered. Fees charged for the use of continuing rights granted by the agreement are typically measured based on contractually agreed percentage of revenue generated by the operation. Invoices are generally issued monthly and settled within 30-60 days with invoiced amounts deducted from any amounts due to the partner.
Deposits received from customers against non-performance of contracts are held on the Consolidated Balance Sheets either as customer deposits within current liabilities or as other non-current liabilities until they are either returned to the customer at the end of their relationship with the Company or released to the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Services and other income
The Company typically acts as principal in these arrangements as it controls the technology and processes relating to the provision of workspace bookings, membership programmes, consulting services, office starter kits and inventory management. Services also include ancillary services provided within and outside the Company's leased workspace such as virtual office services, day offices and short-term meeting rooms. In some circumstances where the Company acts as an agent for the sale and purchase of goods to customers, only the agent fee earned is recognised as revenue.
Invoices are issued at point of sale or monthly depending on the nature of the service being provided and recognised as revenue when the services are rendered in the period that the invoices are raised with the exception of memberships which are deferred and recognised over time within the period that the benefits of the membership card are expected to be provided. Customer payments may be collected at the point of sale or immediately upon receipt of the invoice.
Transaction price is predominantly fixed in customer contracts with any variability in the transaction price relating to the volume of customer activity recognised in the period of the activity.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract Assets represent amounts due from customers in advance of collection invoices being raised. These amounts include certain services provided relating to office space sub-leased under the Digital and Professional Services segment and amounts invoiced in a subsequent month relating to variable revenue based upon the volume of customer usage in the prior month.
Contract liabilities represent collections from customers in advance of services being provided in accordance with contractual arrangements with customers. Contract liabilities are presented as deferred revenue and classified as current liabilities as they are expected to be recognised as revenue within the next twelve months.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes expenses related to the operation of the Company's business centres and provision of digital and professional services. These include, but are not limited to, operating lease costs such as base rent and tenancy costs including the Company's share of real estate and related taxes and common area maintenance charges, employee and related expenses, building operational costs such as utilities, maintenance and cleaning, insurance costs, office expenses such as telephone, internet and printing costs, security expenses, parking expense, credit card processing fees, building events, food and other consumables, and other costs of operating the business centre locations. Employee compensation costs included in location operating expenses relate to the salaries, bonuses and benefits relating to the teams managing the business centres on a daily basis including facilities management.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of sales and marketing expenses, advertising costs, personnel and related expenses for corporate employees, technology, consulting, legal and other professional services expenses, lease costs for our corporate offices, and various other costs we incur to manage and support our business. General and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred. The Company recorded external marketing expenses of $168 million, $135 million and $136 million for the years ended 31 December 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
The share awards programme entitles certain directors and employees to acquire shares of the ultimate parent company (International Workplace Group plc); these awards are granted by the ultimate parent company (International Workplace Group plc) and are equity-settled. The fair value of the options and awards granted under the Company's share-based payment plans outlined in Note 21 Stock-based Compensation are included in the same line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the underlying director and employee expenses with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted are measured using either the Black-Scholes valuation model or the Monte Carlo method, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest in respect of non-market conditions except where forfeiture is due to the expiry of the option.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised based upon the estimated future tax consequences attributable to bases differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in income tax expense (benefit) in the period the tax rates are enacted.
The Company's deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realised. The Company evaluates the realisability of deferred tax assets for each of the jurisdictions in which they operate by assessing all positive and negative evidence. This includes historical operating results, known or planned operating developments, the period of time over which certain temporary differences will reverse, consideration of the reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities, tax law carry back capability in the particular country, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. After evaluation of these factors, if the deferred tax assets are expected to be realised within the tax carry forward period allowed for that specific country, the Company would conclude that no valuation allowance would be required. To the extent that the deferred tax assets exceed the amount that is expected to be realised within the tax carry forward period for a particular jurisdiction, the Company establishes a valuation allowance.
The Company recognises benefits from tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the positions. The tax benefits recognised in the combined financial statements from such positions are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realised upon settlement. Judgement is required in evaluating tax positions and determining unrecognised tax benefits. The Company re-evaluates the technical merits of its tax positions and may recognise the benefit of a tax position in certain circumstances, including when: (1) a tax examination is completed; (2) applicable tax laws change, including through a tax case ruling or legislative guidance; or (3) the applicable statute of limitations expires. The Company recognises interest and penalties associated with income taxes in income tax expense (benefit) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules. Pillar Two legislation has been enacted or substantively enacted in many of the jurisdictions where IWG operates. In Switzerland, a domestic minimum tax rule was introduced with effect from 1 January 2024 followed by an Income Inclusion Rule (IIR) from 1 January 2025.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include outstanding share options calculated using the treasury share method and potentially issuable shares to bondholders calculated using the if-converted method.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand, as well as all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.
Restricted Cash
The Company is required to maintain cash deposits with certain banks which consist of deposits restricted under contractual agreements or legal disputes. Deposits with landlords are presented separately as security deposits and are not considered restricted cash.

Acquisitions
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to tangible assets and intangible assets purchased and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. In determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company uses various recognised valuation methods when a market value is not readily available. Further, assumptions are made within certain valuation techniques, including discount rates and the amount and timing of future cash flows. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of the purchase consideration and the allocation of the purchase consideration to all tangible and intangible assets acquired and identified and liabilities assumed if the Company obtains new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Net assets and results of operations of an acquired entity are recorded in the Financial Statements from the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as they are incurred.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired less liabilities assumed in business combinations. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units, which are the business centres, grouped by country/geographical region of operation and type (managed or owned), and Digital and Professional Services. Acquired intangible assets are recorded at fair value. The Company also carries the Regus brand of which the value of is intrinsically linked to the continuing operation of the Company, thus it has been determined to have an indefinite useful life. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortised, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired and is required to be written down when impaired. Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets is included in Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company tests goodwill for potential impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the reporting unit. The guidance for impairment testing begins with an optional qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill or the brand is impaired. The Company is not required to perform a quantitative impairment test unless it is determined, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that goodwill or the brand is impaired. The quantitative impairment test is prepared at the reporting unit level for goodwill and qualitative factors considered include but are not limited to general economic conditions, outlook for the industry, and the Company's recent and forecasted financial performance. In performing the goodwill impairment test, management compares the estimated fair values of the applicable reporting units to their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. If the carrying amounts of a reporting unit including goodwill were to exceed the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recognised within our Consolidated Statements of Operations in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
The determination of the fair value of the reporting units requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the business and financial performance of the Company's reporting units. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, discount rates, terminal growth rates, occupancy rates, forecasts of revenue, operating income, working capital requirements and capital expenditure.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets, including right-of-use assets, property and equipment and other finite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may have been impaired. In evaluating an asset for recoverability, the Company considers the future cash flows expected to result from the continued use of the asset and the eventual disposition of the asset. If the sum of the expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset is recognised. Impairment losses cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.
We evaluate potential impairment at the asset group level. We allocate the impairment loss related to an asset group among the various assets within the asset group pro rata based on the relative carrying values of the respective assets. Impairment of long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets, including right-of-use assets, is included in Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Leases
The Company primarily leases property for its collaborative workspaces and other locations globally and determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. At the inception of each lease, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease and classifies it as operating or financing lease depending on the underlying nature of the arrangement. Substantially all of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases.
Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease during the lease term. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognised at the commencement date based on the present value of the minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term, adjusted for initial direct costs.
The lease term is the non-cancelable period of the lease adjusted for any renewal or termination options which are reasonably certain to be exercised. Management applies judgement in determining whether it is reasonably certain that a renewal or termination option will be exercised, taking into account the length of time remaining before the option is exercisable, macro-economic environment, socio-political environment and other lease specific factors. Where the lease term has been determined as the period from inception up to a break clause and break penalties exist, these amounts are included in the measurement of the lease liability. Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and expenses are recognised in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as incurred.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company utilises its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments as the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The determination of applicable incremental borrowing rates on leases at the commencement of lease contracts also requires judgement. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rates by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease. The Company considers the relevant market interest rate, based on the weighted average of the timing of the lease payments under the lease obligation. In addition, a spread over the market rate is applied based on the cost of funds to the Company, plus a spread that represents the risk differential of the lessee entity compared to the Company funding cost.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, owed over the lease term (including termination penalties the Company would owe if the lease term reflects the Company's exercise of a termination option) and variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the lease commencement date;
For operating leases, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the reporting date. Variable lease costs are not included as lease payments in the calculation of the lease obligation and are included in variable lease costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as incurred and when probable. Variable lease payments consist of escalation terms on the amount of base rent which may vary by market due to changes in a rate or index and of contingent rent payments based on percentages of revenue or other profitability metrics as defined in the lease.
The right-of-use asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability with adjustments, if applicable, for remaining balances of any lease prepayments made prior to or at lease commencement, initial direct costs incurred by us, and lease incentives, recorded net of impairment. Operating leases costs relating to fixed lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For operating leases for which the right-of-use asset has been impaired, the lease expense is determined as the sum of the amortisation of the right-of-use asset remaining after impairment, if any, on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease and the accretion of the lease liability based on the discount rate applied to the lease liability.
The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of one of its leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding right-of-use asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and the remainder of the adjustment is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company expends cash for leasehold improvements and to build out and equip its leased properties. Generally, a portion of the cost of leasehold improvements is reimbursed to the Company by business partners (property owners and landlords) as landlord contributions. Landlord contributions are substantially received at or near the lease commencement date for commercial reasons and, where the Company retains accounting ownership of the fit-out assets, are accounted for as a lease incentive and recognised by reducing the right-of-use asset. If accounting ownership is not retained, the landlord contributions are recognised as cost reimbursements by reducing the related leasehold improvements within property, plant and equipment.
(Gain) loss on disposal of long-lived assets and other closure related (credits) costs
(Gain) loss on disposal of long-lived assets and other closure related (credits) costs income statement financial statement line item includes the derecognition of leases liabilities and right-of-use assets previously recognised on early terminated leases and other closure costs relating to closed centres, as well as the (gain) loss of the disposal of long-lived assets, including property and equipment.
Finite-lived Intangible Assets, net
Acquired intangible assets are carried at cost and finite-lived intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets, net consists of purchased software, customer lists, and the Regus corporate tradename. The Company capitalises purchased software when the amounts have a useful life or contractual term greater than twelve months. Purchased software consists of software products and licenses which are amortised over the lesser of their estimated useful life or the contractual term, generally up to five years.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
|
Brand - Regus Brand |
indefinite Life |
|
Brand - Other acquired brands |
20 years |
|
Computer and internal use software |
up to 5 years |
|
Customer lists - service agreements |
2 years |
|
Customer lists - sub-lease agreements |
up to 5 years |
Finite-lived intangible asset amortisation is included in Depreciation and amortisation on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company capitalises costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the application development and enhancement phase in Intangible assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs related to preliminary project and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality are also capitalised. Costs are capitalised only when management has formally approved and funded the project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Once these criteria are met, costs incurred during the application development or enhancement phase are capitalised within Intangible assets net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Amortisation is included in Depreciation and amortisation on the Consolidated Statements of Operations once the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The estimated useful life is typically 5 years.
The Company capitalises all software implementation costs that meet the criteria for capitalisation, including those that relate to a service contract (e.g. hosting arrangements). All contracts which are hosting arrangements, or which contain a hosting element are assessed to determine whether the contract is a service arrangement. The capitalised implementation costs for contracts which are not service arrangements are included in Intangible assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortised together with the costs of the related software license through Depreciation and amortisation on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The implementation costs for service contracts are treated as prepaid assets and are expensed through General and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the term of the arrangement. The implementation costs for hosting arrangements are amortised over the life of the hosting arrangement, including reasonably certain renewal periods.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of owned assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company's property and equipment are as follows:
|
Buildings |
50 years |
|
Leasehold improvements |
Shorter of lease term or 10 years |
|
Computer hardware |
3 to 5 years |
|
Furniture and equipment |
5 to 10 years |
The Company incurs a variety of costs to customise or enhance leased premises to suit its operational needs in the construction of leasehold improvements. These improvements may include structural modifications, installation of fixtures, or interior enhancements made to the leased property. After a determination is made to capitalise a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Leasehold improvements are capitalised when they provide future economic benefits and are directly attributable to preparing the leased space for its intended use. The Company capitalises costs until a project is substantially completed. Subsequent expenditures that extend the useful life of an asset are also capitalised.
The Company commonly undertakes leasehold improvements at the beginning of a lease. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that require us to remove leasehold improvements at the end of the lease term. When such an obligation exists, we record an asset retirement obligation at the inception of the lease at its estimated fair value, so long as a reasonable estimate of the fair value can be made. These obligations are recorded within other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accretion costs associated with the obligations are recognised as depreciation expense.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect, which is net of an allowance for expected credit losses. The Company calculates expected credit losses for trade accounts primarily based upon the aging of the underlying receivable. Other factors such as the assumptions related to the business prospects and financial condition of customers and marketing affiliates, macroeconomic conditions, inflationary pressures, potential recession, and the Company's ability to collect the receivable or recover the receivable may also impact the allowance. Recorded liabilities associated with customer deposits held are also considered when estimating the allowance for credit losses as we have the contractual right to apply the customer deposits to outstanding receivables.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company applies fair value accounting for financial assets and liabilities and certain non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognised or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring and non-recurring basis. Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company has not elected to apply a fair value option to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.
When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorised in one of the following levels:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices in less active markets or model-derived valuations, that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Transfers between the categories above are presented as occurring at the end of the financial period.
Reference Note 18, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion.
Interest-bearing borrowings and other financial liabilities
Financial liabilities, including interest-bearing borrowings such as the Euro bonds, are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest rate method.
Convertible bonds issued by the Company and convertible to ordinary shares or cash at the option of the holder are recognised as debt at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Directly attributable transaction costs are deducted from the fair value of the debt.
Derivatives
From time to time the Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its transactional foreign exchange exposures where these exposures cannot be eliminated through balancing the underlying risks. No transactions of a speculative nature are undertaken.
All derivatives are recorded at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company may designate the derivative as a hedging instrument, and, if so, all relationships between hedging activities are formally documented. If a derivative is not specifically designated as a cash flow hedge or another type of hedging instrument, changes in the fair value of the undesignated derivative are reported in current period earnings. Cash flows from undesignated derivatives are included as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedge
The Company uses derivative financial assets and liabilities as hedging instruments to manage exposure to variability in cash flows arising from changes in interest rates and foreign currency related to the Company's debt. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges and are considered to be highly effective. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Changes in the unrealised fair value of these derivatives are recognised in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and transferred to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the underlying hedged transaction.
If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the hedging instrument is sold, expires, is terminated or is exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When hedge accounting for cash flow hedges is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated within Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets remains until it is reclassified to Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period or periods and same line item as the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.
If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, then the amounts that have been recorded within Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the corresponding cost are immediately reclassified to Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Cash receipts or payments on settlement of a derivative contract are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consistent with the nature of the underlying hedged item.
Accounts payable
Accounts payable consist of amounts the Company owes to third parties, such as suppliers or vendors, for goods and services that have been received but not yet paid for.
Equity Investments
The Company's equity investments relate to individual business centres in various locations that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, given each investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. Judgement regarding the level of influence over investment includes considering key factors such as the Company's ownership interest, legal form of the investee, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intra-entity transactions. The Company's equity investments are recorded at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus the Company's share of the investees' income or loss included in Share of (loss) income from equity method investments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Losses in excess of the carrying amount of equity investments are recognised even if the Company does not have a legal or constructive obligation to fund such losses.
Dividends received from equity investments are recorded against the carrying amount of the Company's investment. Equity investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Factors considered by the Company when reviewing an equity investment for impairment include the length of time (duration) and the extent (severity) to which the fair value of the equity investment has been less than cost, the investee's financial condition and near-term prospects and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery. An impairment that is other-than-temporary is recognised in the period identified.
Foreign Currency
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Effective 1 January 2024, the Company's ultimate parent adopted the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Prior to 1 January 2024, the functional currency of the Company's ultimate parent was the British pound sterling. The functional currency of the Company's ultimate parent and each subsidiary is based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate, which is generally their local currency.
The change in functional currency of the Company's ultimate parent is due to a change in the economic facts and circumstances of the entity due to the increased exposure to the U.S. dollar primarily as a result of the growth in international operations, redenomination of its Revolving Credit Facility, the issuance of Euro Bonds, the majority of the proceeds which were swapped into US dollars, and the conversion of other arrangements to US dollars. The effect of the change in functional currency for the Company's ultimate parent was applied prospectively in the Consolidated Financial Statements effective 1 January 2024.
Assets and liabilities of non-USD functional currency operations are translated into USD at the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates in effect as of the financial statement date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated at the average foreign currency exchange rates for the period. Equity is translated primarily at historical exchange rates and the resulting cumulative translation adjustments are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses from foreign currency exchange rate changes related to transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency are included in Foreign currency gains (loss) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Contingencies
Commitments represent legally binding arrangements that obligate the Company to future performance under contractual agreements. Commitments primarily include non-cancelable operating and finance lease agreements, purchase commitments, capital expenditure commitments, and other executory contracts.
Lease commitments, including related lease guarantees, are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Purchase and other non-lease commitments are not recognised as liabilities until goods or services are received or the Company becomes otherwise obligated under the terms of the agreement. Significant commitments are disclosed when material.
The Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies for outstanding legal proceedings and reserves are established on a case-by-case basis for those legal claims for which management concludes that it is probable that a loss will be incurred and that the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. The determination of whether a loss is probable and whether the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated requires significant judgement and evaluation of all the underlying facts and circumstances including judgements about the potential actions of third-party claimants, regulatory authorities, and courts. If the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, information about the contingency is disclosed in the financial statements. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
The Company accounts for guarantees in accordance with ASC 460 Guarantees.
At inception, the Company recognises a liability for the fair value of an obligation undertaken in issuing a guarantee, unless the guarantee is excluded from the initial recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 460.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The recently issued but not yet effective Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") applicable to the Company during the year ended 31 December 2025 are disclosed below. None of the Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted disclosed in Note 1, Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the audited consolidated US GAAP financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2024, were adopted during the year ended 31 December 2025.
Business Combinations and Consolidation
In May 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2025-03 Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. The amendments in the update require an entity involved in an acquisition transaction primarily through the exchange of equity interests, where the legal acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business, to consider specific factors outlined in paragraphs 805-10-55-12 through 55-15 to determine which entity qualifies as the accounting acquirer. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments are applied prospectively. The Company will consider this guidance and assess the likely impact when accounting for any future acquisitions.
Income Statement - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
New guidance issued under ASU 2025-01 clarified that the amendments in ASU 2024-03 Expense Disaggregation Disclosures require the Company to provide enhanced disaggregation of operating expense categories within the financial statement footnotes for annual periods beginning after 15 December 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after 15 December 2027. The amendments introduce a standardised set of natural expense categories, such as employee-related costs, depreciation and amortisation, and other operating expenses. The amendments do not change the recognition, measurement or presentation of expenses in the primary financial statements, but instead expand the disclosures provided in the notes. The Company intends to comply with the new requirements in the effective periods and expects them to result in additional disclosures.
Income Taxes Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023‑09, which enhances disclosure requirements for income taxes by requiring greater disaggregation of the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard does not change the underlying recognition or measurement of income tax balances. It is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning on or after 15 December 2024. The Company has adopted the requirements and reflected in disclosures for the year ending 31 December 2025.
Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company's primary activity is the provision of global workspace solutions. Please reference Note 2, Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for detailed discussion of the Company's revenue recognition policies and Note 4, Segments, for revenue disaggregated by product categories.

Contract Liabilities
The Company's contract liabilities, which are included in Deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $334 million and $539 million as of 31 December 2025 and 2024, respectively and are based on the Company's billing cycle which changed during 2025. Contract liabilities are classified as current due to the nature of the Company's invoicing arrangements. All contract liabilities as of 31 December 2024 were recognised as revenue during the year ending 31 December 2025.
The Company elected the practical expedient as per ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information related to remaining performance obligations due to their original expected terms being one year or less. The Company also elected the practical expedient as per ASC 340-40-25-4 and expenses costs of obtaining contracts, which would otherwise have an amortisation period of one year or less, as incurred.
Note 4. Segments
As at 31 December 2025, the Company is organised into three operating segments. These operating segments reflect the service lines with the business, which is how management monitors performance and makes decisions. The segment composition, as further described below, reflects the Reorganisation described in Note 2, Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies which did not result in a change in the identification of reportable business segments:
· Company-owned: Locations the Company operates directly and recognises full revenue and costs of the centre.
· Managed & Franchised: Locations the Company receives a franchise or management fee for providing services to centres. Managed centres are operated by the Company; franchise locations are operated by the franchise holder. The Company only recognises the fee income as revenue. The Company is not responsible for capital expenditures in the centres and does not recognise the related centre operating costs.
· Digital & Professional Services: Services and technology provided to customers and landlords.
Company-owned and Managed & Franchised are aggregated into the Networks reportable business segment. Digital and Professional Services meets the criteria for separate disclosure as a reportable business segment at 31 December 2025. The Company has determined its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") is its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CEO reviews the Company's financial performance based on these segments, specifically using Gross profit to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. Adjusted gross profit is also used by the CODM in assessing segmental performance and determining how to allocate resources because landlord contributions on leased properties are evaluated in totality in commercial negotiations, rather than being dependent upon whether they are accounted for as lease incentives. Adjusted gross profit (including landlord contributions on leases) has been presented for the first time in 2025.

Additional tax losses have been recorded since 31 December 2024, primarily resulting from the impairment of investments held by holding entities in Luxembourg. These losses are subject to recapture under certain conditions and are included in the table above as part of the valuation allowance.
As of 31 December 2025, the Company has gross net operating loss carry forwards of $1,952 million that can be carried forwarded indefinitely and $12,551 million of gross net operating losses that will expire between 2026 and 2045. At 31 December 2024, the Company had gross net operating loss carry forwards of $1,881 million that can be carried forwarded indefinitely and $10,142 million of gross net operating losses that will expire between 2025 and 2044.
A valuation allowance has been provided where it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets related to those operating loss carry forwards and other temporary differences will not be realised. The valuation allowance increased by $496 million and $1,860 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company is asserting indefinite reinvestment on foreign earnings. As of 31 December 2025 and 2024, the temporary difference arising from unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries were $17 million and $15 million, respectively. The only tax that would arise on these reserves if they were remitted would be non-creditable withholding tax.
The Company conducts operations globally, and, as part of their global business, files numerous tax returns. The Company is routinely examined by various taxing authorities. The Company's global tax positions are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis. Based on these reviews, the results of discussions and resolutions of matters with certain tax authorities, tax rulings and court decisions and the expiration of statute of limitations, unrecognised tax benefits are adjusted as necessary.
The following table summarises tax years that remain subject to examination by tax authorities as of 31 December 2025:

The Company recognises benefits from tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the positions. The tax benefits recognised in the consolidated financial statements from such positions are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realised upon settlement.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognised tax benefits:

At 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, the Company had accrued interest and penalties of $1 million and $2 million, respectively. For the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024, the amount reported in income tax expense related to interest and penalties was $(1) million and $(2) million, respectively.

The 30 April 2025 reallocation was a result of the Reorganisation. There was no goodwill impairment recorded during the years ended 31 December 2025, 2024 and 2023. In assessing whether goodwill is subject to impairment, judgements are made relating to the identification of reporting units, pre-tax discount rates based on the underlying weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the Group adjusted for country specific market risk, assumptions relating to future cash flows such as customer pricing, centre occupancy and maintenance capital expenditure, methodology for the allocation of overhead costs between reporting units and terminal value growth rate assumptions.

Euro bonds
The Company issued a €575 million corporate bond on 28 June 2024 at a fixed coupon rate of 6.5% and a bullet maturity of June 2030. An additional €50 million was issued on 10 September 2024. On 14 May 2025, the Company issued €300 million Euro bonds at an issuance price of 99.369%, a fixed coupon rate of 5.125% and a bullet maturity of 14 May 2032. These issuances on 28 June 2024, 10 September 2024 and 14 May 2025 resulted in the Company receiving cash proceeds of $613 million, $56 million and $337 million respectively. The bonds are traded on the London Share Exchange's International Securities Market.
Convertible bonds
The Company issued £350 million of convertible bonds on 9 December 2020. The bondholders had the option to cash settle in December 2025 at par. As a result, in December 2024, the convertible bonds were reclassed to short-term debt.
During January 2024, the Company entered into a series of forward exchange rate contracts related to its convertible
debt, contracting to purchase £350 million for $445 million in 2025.
During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company repurchased £192 million ($244 million) face value of the convertible bonds at a weighted average price of £0.926, including accrued interest, representing a consideration of £178 million ($228 million). The Company also closed out £192 million of the forward exchange contracts relating to the repurchased convertible bonds. At 31 December 2024, amounts outstanding were presented as short-term debt because of the option the bondholders have to cash settle at par in December 2025.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, prior to the bondholders exercising their option to cash settle at par, the Company repurchased £18 million ($23 million) face value of the convertible bonds at a weighted average price of £0.966, including accrued interest, representing a consideration of £17 million ($22 million). The Company also closed out £18 million of the forward exchange contracts relating to the repurchased convertible bonds.
On 9 December 2025, bondholders exercised the option to cash settle at par and the Company repurchased £136 million ($183 million) face value of the convertible bonds at a weighted average price of £1, including accrued interest, representing consideration of £136 million ($183 million). Following expiration of this option, all amounts outstanding have been presented as long-term debt.
The Company also closed out all of the remaining £141 million of the forward exchange contracts entered into during January 2024. For the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024, the repurchases of convertible bonds and settlement of the foreign exchange rate contracts result in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1 million and $16 million, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a $720 million multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") through 17 June 2029. No cash amounts were drawn under the RCF at 31 December 2025 or 2024. The rate of interest on any cash amounts drawn under the RCF is variable and based upon the period selected when a utilisation request is made by the Company.
The amount available and undrawn on the RCF as of 31 December 2025 and 2024 was $436 million and $381 million, respectively because of ancillary facility commitments relating to guarantees of $284 million and $339 million respectively.
On 31 December 2025, the Group complied with all financial covenants related to the Revolving Credit Facility.
Note 18. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the amount 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.
Reference the Fair Value Measurement accounting policy included within Note 2, Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for the level of inputs outlined below to determine fair value. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Recurring fair value measurements
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024. Fair value is defined as the amount 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.

During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company transferred the Cross-currency swaps from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Following management's review of the valuation inputs, this was determined to be market observable data and was determined to be the primary basis for valuation. As such, the instruments no longer required significant unobservable inputs, which is more indicative of a Level 2 classification.
The valuation techniques used in measuring level 2 and 3 fair values consist of a combination of broker quotes, forward pricing and swap models with the significant inputs into the valuations relating to interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
Contingent consideration
The fair value of contingent consideration is based on contractually defined targets of financial performance in connection with earn outs and other considerations. The fair value of the convertible bonds is based on the published price on the open market. There were no transfers between levels for the years ending 31 December 2025 and 2024.
Forward exchange contracts
During January 2024, the Company entered into a series of forward exchange rate contracts related to its convertible debt, contracting to purchase £350 million for $445 million in 2025. These contracts were designated as cash flow hedges. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts were based on a combination of forward pricing and swap models. During 2025 and 2024, due to the partial repurchase of the convertible bonds, £154 million and £192 million respectively of the forward exchange rate contracts entered into were closed out.
As of 31 December 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the forward exchange contract was a $0 million and $3 million liability respectively.
Cross-currency swaps
Simultaneous to the closing of the Euro bonds (reference Note 17, Debt) during 2024, the Company entered into a hedging arrangement to swap €400 million of the issuance and the related interest into $428 million, with a weighted average fixed coupon of 8.153%. On 12 September 2024, the Company entered into arrangements to swap an additional €50 million and the related interest into $55 million, with a weighted average fixed coupon of 7.820%. On 29 October 2024, the Company entered into hedging arrangements to swap an additional €75 million Euro bonds notional plus interest into $81 million, with a weighted average fixed coupon of 8.264%. At 31 December 2024, a total of €525 million of the issuance was hedged, with arrangements to swap into $564 million with a weighted average fixed coupon of 8.137%.
As of 31 December 2024, the fair value of the swap contract was a $6 million asset. The remaining of the €100 million issuance and the related interest at a fixed coupon of 6.50% was maintained in euros as these amounts were anticipated to be covered by a natural currency hedge due to the anticipated geographic diversity of operations of the Company and have been designated as net investment hedges.
On 11 April 2025, the Company entered into hedging arrangements to swap the remaining €100 million of the Euro bonds notional plus interest into $110 million, with a weighted average fixed coupon of 8.265%. As of 31 December 2025, a total of €625 million of the 2024 issuance was hedged, with arrangements to swap into $674 million with a weighted average fixed coupon of 8.158%. The hedges are expected to remain in place for the life of the bonds and are designated as cash flow hedges. As of 31 December 2025, the fair value of the swap contract was an $87 million asset.
As a result of this hedging arrangement, the Company discontinued its net investment hedge over the Company's European subsidiaries' operations. Prior to the discontinuation of the net investment hedge, its impact on other comprehensive income for both the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024, was $0 million and $3 million, respectively.
Simultaneous to the closing of the Euro bonds issued during May 2025, the Company entered into hedging arrangements to swap €300 million of the issuance and the related interest into $341 million, with a weighted average fixed coupon of 6.902%. The hedges will remain in place for the life of the bonds and have been designated as a cash flow hedge.

Non-recurring fair value measurements
During the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024, the long-lived assets (which include property & equipment held in centres and right-of-use assets) warranted non-recurring fair value measurements due to the existence of qualitative and quantitative impairment indicators. For the affected centres, which are each considered an asset group for purposes of impairment testing, the non-recurring fair value measurements recorded in 2025 were $0 million, $27 million, $27 million and $86 million as of 31 March, 30 June, 30 September, and 31 December respectively. The corresponding non-recurring fair value measurements in 2024 were $162 million, $200 million, $159 million and $73 million as of 31 March, 30 June, 30 September, and 31 December respectively.
The categorisation of the framework used to value these long-lived assets is considered Level 3, due to the limited data and subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value. Such judgements and estimates included within the cash flow forecasts include assessment of the extent to which historical cash flows are indicative of future cash flows, discount rate applied to the cash flows, location of the centre, the local economic situation, competition, local environmental factors, status of current discussions with the landlord and customers relating to matters such as potential future customer contract terms, lease amendments or centre closure, the management of the centre, and future changes in occupancy, customer pricing and costs of the centre. As a result of the non-recurring fair value measurements, the Company recognised property & equipment and right-of-use assets impairment. Please reference Note 15, Leases, and Note 16, Property and Equipment, net, for more detail.

Note 21. Stock-based Compensation
The Company provides share-based compensation to certain of the Company's directors, officers and employees under four plans: the IWG Group Share Option Plan, the Performance Share Plan, Restricted Share Plan and the Deferred Bonus Share Plan.
The Company recognised share-based compensation expense of $6 million, $2 million, and $8 million during the years ended 31 December 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and the related tax benefit recognised was $1 million, $1 million and $1 million for the years ended 31 December 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
IWG Group Share Option Plan
The Company operates the IWG Group Share Option Plan that entitles eligible employees to purchase shares in the Company. In accordance with this programme, holders of vested options are entitled to purchase shares at the mid-market closing price of the shares at the day before the date of grant.
The IWG Group also operates the IWG Group Share Option Plan (France) which is included within the numbers for the IWG Share Option Plan (UK, Swiss, US and other) disclosed above. The terms of the IWG Share Option Plan (France) are materially the same as the IWG Group Share Option Plan with the exception that they are only exercisable from the fourth anniversary of the date of grant compare to the remainder of the plans are exercisable in part or in full between 3 and 10 years from the grant date, assuming the performance conditions have been met.
The IWG Group Share Option Plan grants share options to eligible employees and entitles the grantee to receive shares of the Company at the end of a performance period of three to seven years if the applicable performance goals are achieved and generally subject to continued service through the applicable performance period. These performance goals include profitability and KPI targets specific to the recipient of the award. Personal performance targets are subject to review, in line with changes to the Group's strategy, at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee.
The share options subject to TSR targets are vested based on the Group ranking at or above the median for TSR performance relative to a comparator group over a period of three years with a minimum performance threshold of achieving a ranking at the median TSR or above and the maximum award being given for exceeding the comparator group median TSR performance by 10% or more.

Performance Share Plan ("PSP")
The Remuneration Committee of the Board has authority to grant standalone awards, based on normal plan limits, up to a maximum of 250% of base salary. The number of awards that vest is dependent upon the Company's achievement of certain specified financial performance criteria over a three-year period. Awards entitle the grantee to receive shares of the Company, which vest over a five-year service period, subject to continued service over the performance period. The awards are exercisable in part or in full, between 5 and 10 years from the grant date.
Performance conditions vest based on measures assessed over a three‑year performance period. These include earnings per share (EPS) depending on the level of EPS improvement achieved, return on investment (ROI) based on ROI performance over the period and TSR similar to the Group Share Option Plan.

Restricted Share Plan ("RSP")
The Restricted Share Plan enables the Board to award restricted shares to selected employees on a discretionary basis that is subject to an underpin. In assessing the underpin, the Committee will consider the Group's overall performance, including financial and non-financial performance over the course of the vesting period and any material factors identified. RSP awards, by design, offer a more certain level of reward and provide immediate alignment to shareholders. Share awards vest over a 5-year period and are subject to continued service by the grantee. The scheme was adopted in 2025.

Note 25. Subsequent Events
Proposed dividend
On 3 March 2026, the Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend for 2025 of 0.93c giving a total dividend for 2025 of 1.38c. It is expected that the dividend will be paid on 29 May 2026 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 1 May 2026.
Share buyback programme
The Company announced the first tranche of the 2026 share buyback on 31 December 2025, and announced an increase of another $50 million to the buyback programme.
Reconciliation for alternative performance measures
The Company reports certain alternative performance measures (APMs) that are not required under US GAAP which represents the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) under which the Company reports. The Company believes that the presentation of these APMs provides useful supplemental information, when viewed in conjunction with our US GAAP financial information as follows:
- To evaluate the historical and planned underlying results of our operations;
- To set Director and management remuneration; and
- To discuss and explain the Company's performance with the investment analyst community.
None of the APMs should be considered as an alternative to financial measures derived in accordance with GAAP. The APMs can have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. These performance measures may not be calculated uniformly by all companies and therefore may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures of other companies.
