Will Wyatt, Chief Executive , commented:

"Our strategy of investing in a diversified portfolio of high-quality holdings in listed equities, directly owned private companies and funds has generated significant value over the last year and makes us well-placed to respond to the challenges posed by inflation, supply constraints and potentially lower GDP growth.

We remain confident that our approach and high-quality portfolio will continue to deliver our aims of growing net assets and dividends over the long term."

Chairman's statement

Results

The NAV total return for the year ended 31 March 2022 was 27.9%. The performance included positive returns from all parts of our portfolio. Returns from our private assets were particularly strong; Private Capital delivered two successful portfolio company exits, plus healthy returns from the remaining investee companies; and the Funds portfolio benefitted from strong valuation growth in private equity markets and favourable exits in its portfolio. Our balance sheet remains strong with total liquidity of £591m available at 31 March 2022, reflecting our banking facilities and £341m of cash.

Income and dividends

Investment income (revenue account) grew 14% to £51.0m and net income was £39.3m. It is worth noting that we expect investment income to reduce gradually in the coming years. While it remains a relatively low-income environment, our focus will be on total returns rather than pure income from our portfolio. The board is recommending a final dividend of 47.3p per share, which represents a full year dividend of 64.8p, an increase of 3.0% when compare to the previous year. This would represent the 55th consecutive year of increases in our annual dividend.

Special dividend

The company has recommended special dividends in the past where either cash levels are high or there has been a significant disposal. Following the disposals of Deep Sea Electronics and BioAgilytix during the year, the board is recommending a special dividend of 175p per share at a cost of £95m. This provides a considerable enhancement to the long-term yield that Caledonia has delivered to shareholders which, on a ten year basis, is over 3%.

Board and staff

As previously announced, Will Wyatt retires as Chief Executive at the company's annual general meeting in July 2022. On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Will for his outstanding service to Caledonia over the past twelve years. Under his leadership, Caledonia's strategy has successfully evolved whilst the ethos, culture and values of the business have been carefully nurtured. In financial terms, NAV has grown strongly with an annualised NAV total return of 12.2%, significantly outperforming the annualised FTSE All-Share total return of 7.2% over this period. Subject to shareholder approval, I am delighted that he will continue to serve on the board as a non-executive director enabling us to benefit from his experience.

Will is to be succeeded by Mathew Masters, currently Head of Caledonia Quoted Equity, who was appointed to the board as Chief Executive Officer Designate on 1 April 2022. Mathew joined Caledonia from Grant Thornton in 2005, initially as an investment executive. He became Head of the Capital portfolio in 2010, before taking on broader responsibility for the Income strategy in 2019 when he was promoted to Head of Quoted Equity.  I would also like to welcome Mathew to the board in his role as CEO. The board and I look forward to working with him in the years ahead as he builds on his impressive track record from leading the Quoted Equity portfolio and develops Caledonia's investment strategy.

During the year, Caledonia welcomed Lynn Fordham and Anne Farlow as independent non-executive directors. Anne will succeed Shonaid Jemmett-Page as Chairman of the Remuneration Committee on 1 June 2022 and Lynn will succeed Stuart Bridges as Chairman of the Audit Committee on 27 July 2022. Shonaid Jemmett-Page has decided to step down from the board as an independent non-executive director before the expiry of her third term in office in 2024. We are most grateful for her input and wish her well for the future. As part of our succession planning activities, a search for Shonaid's successor was scheduled to commence next year once Lynn, Anne and Mathew have each had the opportunity to settle into their new roles in the board. This activity will instead commence shortly. The board has therefore asked Stuart to delay his planned retirement from the board for up to one year whilst we recruit a replacement for Shonaid.

On behalf of the board, I would like to thank all Caledonia staff for their significant contribution during the year in successfully delivering such strong financial performance.

AGM

The AGM is an important part of our shareholder communications programme and we look forward to holding a physical meeting later in the year.

Outlook

Caledonia's medium and long-term NAV total return performance remains ahead of target and of relevant markets. However, following an improved short-term outlook as economies emerged from the worst effects of the pandemic, new challenges have appeared. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has significantly increased geopolitical risks and has exacerbated inflationary pressures. Interest rates are moving to levels not seen for many years and there are justifiable concerns that central banks remain somewhat behind the curve.

We anticipate significantly higher levels of volatility as markets adapt to interest rate increases and support from central banks is reduced as quantitative easing policies are unwound. However, the portfolio is well diversified and we remain confident that the long-term prospects for the underlying investments remain strong.

Chairman

Chief Executive's report

Purpose

Caledonia's purpose is to grow net assets and dividends paid to shareholders over the long term, whilst managing risk to avoid permanent loss of capital.

Results for the year

The NAV total return for the year of 27.9% built on the previous year's outturn of 25.9%, once again with all three parts of the portfolio producing strong positive returns. Strength in western stock markets was a helpful backdrop to the year. Caledonia's large allocation to private equity assets, which have witnessed high levels of liquidity and pricing uplifts, particularly in growth companies, has also been beneficial, though asset and manager selection remains critical to success. Shareholders should be reassured by the current high levels of cash. While bond and equity markets look vulnerable to falls, cash provides an appropriate cushion to market reversals and optionality when opportunities arise, despite the high level of inflation.

Caledonia has particularly low stock turnover relative to other investment companies, though we do operate an active approach to portfolio management. New or follow-on investments of £216.8m were made during the year, £110.5m of which was invested in the Funds pool. Divestments totalled £588.7m, dominated by the disposals of Deep Sea Electronics ('DSE') and BioAgilytix by the Private Capital pool. It was particularly pleasing to witness the increasing maturity of the Funds pool which benefitted from elevated levels of fund distributions receiving £178.0m during the year.

Investment income for the year was £51.0m, an increase of 14.3% over the previous year. Net income was £39.3m, up 31.8% which was flattered by the one-off recognition of £8.5m of historic tax losses. Total comprehensive income, which includes changes in the valuation of investments during the year, totalled £611.3m (2021: £467.6m). The group balance sheet NAV of £2.78bn is at an all time high. Maintenance of a strong balance sheet is central to our strategy, particularly with Caledonia's sizeable exposure to illiquid assets. Currency also moved favourably during the year, positively impacting capital gains on investments and thus the annual return by £59m, or around 3 percentage points.

Total liquidity remains healthy with cash of 341m plus undrawn bank facilities of 250m at the year end. Caledonia's 250m banking facilities include 137.5m expiring in May 2025, with the balance of 112.5m expiring in July 2022. Discussions are well advanced with ING to renew the latter facility for a further three years.

The company made a series of share buy-backs during the year, with over 710,000 shares being purchased and cancelled for 24m at attractive levels of discount to NAV.

Investment performance

We aim to grow NAVTR by 3-6% ahead of inflation over the short-term, leading to results over the long-term that exceed the FTSE All-Share index. However, management and the investment teams are incentivised in line with these objectives on an absolute, rather than a relative, return basis. The table below shows our investment performance over one, three, five and ten years. Results continue to be ahead of both short-term and long-term targets. The decision to increase exposure to non-UK assets over the past decade has resulted in Caledonia significantly outperforming the FTSE All-Share index which, whilst not used as a benchmark, provides a useful reference point for UK-based investors.

Strategy and allocation

The investment portfolio consists of the following three pools of capital:

Pool name	2022	2021	Strategic allocation
	%	%	%
Quoted Equity	29.8	32.2	35-50
Private Capital	28.1	37.2	35-45
Funds	28.6	28.6	20-30
Cash and other	13.5	2.0	+/-10
Net assets	100.0	100.0

The strategic allocation ranges shown in the table above are a guide to ensure that the portfolio remains proportionately balanced. The two large exits from the Private Capital pool have resulted in its allocation being below its target range. Quoted Equity is also below target due to the rapid valuation growth of other asset pools in the year. New investments are individually made on merit, not simply to address short-term allocation imbalances.

The table below summarises the pool targets and strategic allocation:

Pool name	Description	Return requirements	Strategic allocation
Caledonia Quoted Equity	Capital strategy Income strategy	10% total return, no yield target 7% total return, 3.5% yield (on cost)	35-50%
Caledonia Private Capital	Majority and minority investments predominantly in UK mid-market companies with equity values of between £50m and 125m	14% total return, 5% yield	35-45%
Caledonia Funds	US and Asian private equity funds and funds of funds	12.5% total return	20-30%

Caledonia Quoted Equity  

The total return for the Quoted Equity pool was 14.1% over the year. This strong performance reflected the positive movement in global public equity markets and our stock selection within both the Capital and Income portfolios, delivering total returns of 14.6% and 13.7% respectively. Performance was driven by good returns from a broad range of sectors and across markets in the UK, Continental Europe and North America. Six holdings - Microsoft, Thermo Fisher, National Grid, Diageo, London Metric and Big Yellow - delivered returns of over 30% during the period.

Trading activity was relatively limited in the first half of the year, in line with our long-term investment approach. However, the more volatile market backdrop arising during the second half of the year created some buying opportunities, though portfolio performance was pared back. Positions in Alibaba, the prominent Chinese e-commerce and cloud-computing company, and in Moody's, a leading global provider of credit ratings, financial data and analytics, have been added to the Capital portfolio. Over the year there has been an increase in our holding in Philip Morris International and a reduction in our holdings in AG Barr and Polar Capital. Other activity was restricted to refining positions in existing investments.

Caledonia Private Capital  

Caledonia's Private Capital portfolio is dominated by significant positions in four UK-centric businesses, one US co-investment and one private European investment company. These six investments represent over 95% of the portfolio value. Investee companies are revalued in March and September each year. The portfolio generated a total return of 54.7% for the year.

On 1 June 2021, Caledonia announced that portfolio company DSE, a leading provider of backup power control systems, had been acquired by Generac Holdings Inc. ('Generac'). Generac is a leading global designer and manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other power products. DSE had grown strongly since its acquisition by Caledonia in October 2018. Caledonia received net proceeds of 242m in cash, net of fees, for the sale of its 84.2% fully diluted stake. This included a pre-disposal dividend of 12.6m. DSE was valued at 193m in Caledonia's accounts at 31 March 2021.

On 17 November 2021, Caledonia announced that the shareholders of portfolio company BioAgilytix, a leading provider of bioanalytical testing for large molecule research and development, had agreed terms of a majority investment in the company by international private equity firm Cinven. Caledonia co-invested in BioAgilytix in February 2019 alongside Cobepa. Since then, the business had grown strongly via a mix of impressive organic growth and acquisitions in the US and Australia, expanding its geographic reach and capabilities. The transaction completed on 22 December 2021 delivering gross proceeds of US$183m, net of fees. The BioAgilytix co-investment was valued at US$36m in Caledonia's accounts at 31 March 2021. The sizeable valuation uplift reflected the strong growth in the business, good levels of profitability and the attractiveness of the sector. Caledonia agreed to re-invest US$42m alongside Cinven and a consortium of investors including Cobepa, for a minority investment in BioAgilytix. This holding in BioAgilytix was valued at cost of US$42m (£32m) at 31 March 2022, reflecting the recent closing of the transaction.

Seven Investment Management ('7IM'), a vertically integrated multi-asset class investment manager, continues to perform well. The successful integration of the Partners Wealth Management business has been a major contributor to performance, alongside growth in 7IM's platform business. Assets under management continue to grow strongly through a mix of positive investment performance and net new fund inflows of c.£1.6bn during the year. The valuation at 31 March 2022 was 174m, a return of 41% for the year.  

Cobepa, the Belgian-based investment company, owns a diverse portfolio of private global investments. The businesses within its portfolio have delivered healthy performances which, coupled with two notable exits, has resulted in a significant valuation increase for the year. As noted above, Cobepa was the majority owner of BioAgilytix, which was sold to Cinven, and it has also recently completed the disposal of its largest asset, Hillebrand, to Deutsche Post DHL Group at an equity value of 1.5bn. The impact of these transactions is largely included in the valuation of Caledonia's holding in Cobehold (the holding company of Cobepa) which was 159m at 31 March 2022, a return of 44% for the year.

Stonehage Fleming, the international multi-family office, continues to deliver good growth, both organically and through successful acquisitions. In summer 2020, the business acquired Cavendish Asset Management which has now been fully integrated, and in January 2022 completed the acquisition of the private client business of the Maitland Group, a global advisory, administration and family office firm. The Maitland private client business is highly complementary to Stonehage Fleming's existing operations. The acquisition was funded from existing cash resources and additional term debt. The valuation at 31 March 2022 was 140m, a return of 25% for the year.

Liberation Group, a pub, restaurant and drinks business with operations in the Channel Islands and the South West of the UK, has traded well through the year, despite the adverse impact of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 during the busy December to early January trading period. The business has proved to be financially robust with an estate focused on destination pubs, a strong food offering, large outdoor spaces and, in several sites, good quality accommodation. Summer trading saw better than expected levels of demand return as consumers responded to a relaxation of Coronavirus restrictions, supported by the popularity of UK-based holidays. The pubs recently acquired from Wadworth & Co. are performing well following a programme of investment. The valuation at 31 March 2022 was 136m, a return of 6% for the year. 

Cooke Optics, a leading manufacturer of cinematography lenses, has also traded well over the last twelve months. The business has faced a number of challenges over the past two years but is now delivering improved financial performance. The recently launched range of full frame cine lenses has been positively received by the market with a healthy initial order book. The market is strong as global demand for both streaming and cinema content remains elevated. The valuation at 31 March 2022 was 118m including 30m of term debt, an equity return of 34% for the year.

Caledonia Funds  

The total return for the Funds portfolio was 38.3% for the year. This reflects strong underlying fund performance, including an increased level of distributions, from across our maturing portfolio. Caledonia's valuation policy is to utilise the latest valuations reported by the managers of the funds in which we invest, adjusted for any cash movements to our reporting date. 20% of NAV is based on valuations dated 31 March 2022 and 71% dated 31 December 2021, primarily the directly owned funds. The remainder, mostly fund of funds holdings, are dated 30 September 2021.

Caledonia Funds' investments are principally in third party managed private equity funds operating in North America and Asia. The level of return during the year has been very strong, reflecting the outcome of a consistent, planned approach to selecting and committing to funds over the last ten years, which mature to deliver valuation growth and generate cash distributions as underlying holdings are realised. Almost all of our managers have recorded good growth this year, across both geographies. Our investments with fund of funds managers - Aberdeen US Private Equity funds, Axiom Asia funds and Asia Alternatives funds - have shown particularly healthy returns.

The strategy for the Funds portfolio involves committing between US$100m and US$150m per annum to new fund opportunities. During the year, 111m was drawn down and 169m was distributed by the funds; we also received 9m from the sale of a fund position in the secondary market. The level of distributions remains positive, with a notable bias towards our North American funds, reflecting merger, acquisition and IPO activity in broader private equity markets.

Responsible investment

We have a particularly engaged style of interaction and stewardship of our investee companies. Our staff sit on the boards of all of our Private Capital companies and often serve on the advisory boards of the private equity funds in which we invest. Despite usually being only a small shareholder in listed companies, we are often given privileged access to their management teams. We are therefore well positioned to both monitor and effect change to the approach investee companies take to ESG matters. We are midway through a project to ensure that such factors are fully incorporated into our investment decision making process.

Outlook

The Western world appears to have come through the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic, absent further mutations. This is not the case in Asia where China's zero-Covid policy remains firmly in place. Further geopolitical events have unsettled markets, particularly in commodities and have exacerbated supply side constraints. The prospect of increasing interest rates to combat unhealthily strong inflation makes the old market adage of 'don't fight the Fed' look ominously prescient this year. Bond yields have already risen strongly and, with equities at lofty valuations, investors are thinking carefully about allocation to alternative assets.

Caledonia's portfolio is comprised of high-quality businesses and funds, many of which have the ability to respond to the challenges posed by inflation, supply constraints and recent forecasts of lower growth in GDP. The strong balance sheet, with ample liquidity leaves us in a good position to resist these headwinds, although Caledonia's portfolio will not be immune to falls in valuations. However, our long-term mindset, outstanding management team and current allocation gives us a good platform from which to continue to achieve the aims of growth in net assets and dividends paid to shareholders over the long-term.

Risk management

Effective risk management is a key component of the company's business model and assists in ensuring that the different parts of the group operate within strategic risk parameters. The board has overall responsibility for setting and monitoring the company's risk appetite.

Principal risks	Mitigation and management	Key developments
Strategic
Risks in relation to the appropriateness of the business model to deliver long-term growth in capital and income. Strategic risks include the allocation of capital between public and private equity, and in relation to geography, sector, currency, yield, liquidity	The company's business model and strategy are reviewed periodically, against market conditions and target returns. The performance of the company and its key risks are monitored regularly by management and the board.	Overall strategic asset allocation review underway led by Chief Executive Officer Designate, supported with input from the board. Review of strategy for each investment pool in progress - addressing approach, yield and return targets, forecast cash impact and resourcing. Private Capital approach amended to focus on sourcing new investments, building in revised yield objectives, following two successful disposals in the year.
Investment
Risks in respect of specific investment and realisation decisions. Investment risks include the appropriate research and due diligence of new investments and the timely execution of both investments and realisations for optimising value.	Investment opportunities are subject to rigorous appraisal and a multi- stage approval process. Investment managers have well-developed networks through which they attract proprietary deal flow. Target entry and exit events and prices are monitored and updated regularly, in relation to market conditions and strategic aims.	Recruitment to increase investment team resources across all three pools. Increased focus on quality due diligence pre investment, particularly given high market prices, as we seek to increase the rate of new investment across our private assets - both companies and funds. ESG factors to be integrated into key investment processes (see ESG & climate change section).
Market
Risk of losses in value of investments arising from sudden and significant movements in market prices, particularly in highly volatile markets. Adds to the risk associated with private asset valuations. Caledonia's principal market risks are therefore equity price volatility, foreign exchange rate movements and interest rate volatility.	Market risks and sensitivities are reviewed weekly with actions taken, where appropriate, to balance risk and return. A regular review of market and portfolio volatility is conducted by the board. Reviews also consider investment concentration, currency exposure and portfolio liquidity. Portfolio construction, including use of private assets, provides some mitigation.	Market volatility has increased in recent months, reflecting increased inflationary pressures and the uncertainty arising from the conflict in Ukraine. The Quoted Equity team remain alert to market movements, taking advantage of recent market falls to add target stocks to the portfolio, whilst remaining determinedly long-term focused. FX exposure remains a live issue for periodic review.
Liquidity
Risk that liabilities cannot be met or new investments made due to a lack of liquidity. Such risk can arise from not being able to sell an investment due to lack of a market or from not holding cash or being able to raise debt.	Detailed cash forecasting for the year ahead is updated and reviewed quarterly, including the expected drawdown of capital commitments. A weekly cash update is produced focused on the short-term cash forecast. Loan facilities are maintained to provide appropriate liquidity headroom. The liquidity of the portfolio is reviewed regularly.	Discussions are well advanced with ING to extend existing £112.5m facility for a further three years. New counterparties for money market funds, all AAA rated, added to limit maximum exposure to £50m with each counterparty and limit associated risk.
ESG & Climate change
Risks in relation to the successful incorporation of ESG and climate change impacts into our investment approach. Identifying opportunities to drive our policy objectives, deliver strong returns and manage the risks to meet evolving stakeholder expectations.	Caledonia is building ESG knowledge, particularly on climate change, and developing policy and processes to integrate ESG matters into our investment approach. We anticipate that the assessment of new and existing investments will fully incorporate ESG / climate change risks and opportunities. Reporting will be introduced to demonstrate the impact our approach to ESG matters has on our investment portfolio.	Approach and commitment to ESG and climate change being developed with a plan to fully integrate into corporate strategy and investment activity. Responsible Investment policy drafted with external support. Review activity underway internally and with the board. Climate change reporting prepared, with third party consultancy support, to set out our climate change commitments and disclose our approach to managing this risk.
Regulatory & legal
RIsks arising from exposure to litigation or fraud or failure to adhere to the tax and regulatory environment. Caledonia operates across a number of jurisdictions and in an industry that is subject to significant regulatory oversight.	Caledonia has internal resources to consider regulatory and tax matters as they arise. Professional advisers are engaged, where necessary, to supplement internal knowledge in specialised areas or when new regulations are introduced. Activities supported by regular staff training. Caledonia is a member of the Association of Investment Companies and operates in line with industry standards.	Continued health and safety protocols maintained to ensure safe working in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. New process introduced for new suppliers to mitigate fraud risk. US private equity fund investments structuring refined to ensure ongoing investment trust compliance.
Operational
Risks arising from inadequate or failed processes, people and systems or from external factors. Operational risks arise from the recruitment, development and retention of staff, systems and procedures and business disruption.	Systems and control procedures are developed and reviewed regularly. They are tested to ensure effective operation. Appropriate remuneration and other policies are in place to facilitate the retention of key staff. Business continuity plans are maintained and updated as the business evolves and in response to emerging threats. This includes a specific focus on cyber security.	Business continuity plan being refreshed. New approach to information technology disaster recovery implemented in April 2022. IT department structure and staffing refreshed, providing broader range of skills and increased cover. Cyber security focus maintained, with training refresh to address human factor risk from phishing, enhanced password policy implemented and new technology deployed to improve e-mail security (inbound and outbound) and prevent potential data loss. New Enfusion system, covering public equity trading activity and investment accounting activity for the business, successfully implemented on 1 April 2022 providing a robust, well-supported platform for key business processes.

Notes to the final results announcement

1. General information and basis of preparation

Caledonia Investments plc is an investment trust company domiciled in the United Kingdom and incorporated in England in 1928, under number 235481. The address of its registered office is Cayzer House, 30 Buckingham Gate, London SW1E 6NN. The ordinary shares of the company are premium listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Under the UK Corporate Governance Code and applicable regulations, the directors are required to satisfy themselves that it is reasonable to presume that the company is a going concern.

As at 31 March 2022 the group holds £1,171m of liquid assets and has access to £250m of undrawn committed banking facilities, £112.5m of which expires in July 2022 and £137.5m of which expires in May 2025.  The Directors therefore believe the group will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

The group has conducted a going concern assessment which considered future cash flows, the availability of liquid assets and debt facilities, banking covenant requirements and consideration of the risks arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine and the inflationary environment over at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. In making this assessment a number of stress scenarios were developed, factoring in (a) adverse foreign exchange movements, (b) reduction in investment income, (c) reduction in distributions received from private equity funds and drawdown of all existing private equity fund commitments, (d) a delay and reduction in disposals of directly owned private equity investments, and (e) the cumulative impact of the above.

Under these scenarios the group would have a range of mitigating actions available to it, including sales of liquid assets, and usage of banking facilities, which would provide sufficient funds to meet all of its liabilities as they fall due and still hold significant liquid assets over the assessment period. As a result of this assessment the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

2. Dividends

Amounts recognised as distributions to owners of the company in the year were as follows:

	2022		2021
	p/share	£m	p/share	£m
Final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2021 (2020)	45.9	25.1	44.5	24.4
Interim dividend for the year ended 31 March 2022 (2021)	17.5	9.5	17.0	9.3
	63.4	34.6	61.5	33.7

Amounts proposed after the year end and not recognised in the financial statements were as follows:

Proposed final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2022	47.3	25.6
Proposed Special dividend for the year ended 31 March 2022	175.0	94.9
	222.3	120.5

The proposed final and special dividends for the year ended 31 March 2022 were not included as liabilities in these financial statements. These dividends, if approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting to be held on 27 July 2022, will be payable on 4 August 2022 to holders of shares on the register on 1 July 2022. The ex-dividend date will be 30 June 2022. The deadline for elections under the dividend reinvestment plan offered by Link Group will be the close of business on 14 July 2022.

For the purposes of section 1158 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and associated regulations, the dividends payable for the year ended 31 March 2022 are the interim, final and special dividends for that year, amounting to £130.0m (2021: £34.4m).

3. Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share of the group was based on the profit attributable to shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The calculation of diluted earnings per share included an adjustment for the effects of dilutive potential shares.

The profit attributable to shareholders (basic and diluted) was as follows:

	2022	2021
	£m	£m
Revenue	39.3	29.8
Capital	571.9	436.2
Total	611.2	466.0

The weighted average number of shares was as follows:

	2022	2021
	000's	000's
Issued shares at the year start	55,374	55,374
Effect of shares cancelled	(404)	-
Effect of shares held by the employee share trust	(468)	(507)
Basic weighted average number of shares in the year	54,502	54,867
Effect of performance shares, share options and deferred bonus awards	987	754
Diluted weighted average number of shares in the year	55,489	55,621

4. Operating segments

The following is an analysis of the profit/(loss) before tax for the year and assets analysed by primary operating segments:

		Profit/(loss) before tax		Total assets

1.	Other items included -£20.7m (2021: £14.0m investments) of non-pool provisions.

 

5. Share-based payments

In the year to 31 March 2022, participating employees in the performance share scheme were awarded options over 237,861 shares at nil-cost (2021: 273,597 shares).

Also in the year to 31 March 2022, participating employees received deferred awards over 49,267 shares (2021: 5,229 shares).

The IFRS 2 expense included in profit or loss for the year was £9.0m (2021: £6.3m).

6. Net asset value

The group's undiluted net asset value is based on the net assets of the group at the year end and on the number of ordinary shares in issue at the year end less ordinary shares held by The Caledonia Investments plc Employee Share Trust. The group's diluted net asset value assumes the calling of performance share and deferred bonus awards.

		2022			2021
		Net	Number		Net	Number
		assets	of shares 1	NAV	assets	of shares 1	NAV
		£m	000's	p/share	£m	000's	p/share
Undiluted		2,782.7	54,211	5133	2,225.3	54,882	4055
Share awards		-	987	(92)	-	754	(55)
Diluted		2,782.7	55,198	5041	2,225.3	55,636	4000
1.	Number of shares in issue at the year end is stated after the deduction of 452,645 (2021: 491,716) ordinary shares held by the Caledonia Investments plc Employee Share Trust

Net asset value total return is calculated in accordance with AIC guidance, as the change in NAV from the start of the period, assuming that dividends paid to shareholders are reinvested at NAV at the time the shares are quoted ex-dividend.

		2022	2021
		p	p
Diluted NAV at year start		4000	3236
Diluted NAV at year end		5041	4000
Dividends payable in the year		63	62
Reinvestment adjustment 2		12	11
		5116	4073
NAVTR over the year		27.9%	25.9%
2.	The reinvestment adjustment is the gain or loss resulting from reinvesting the dividends in NAV at the ex-dividend date.

7. Capital commitments

At the reporting date, the group and company had entered into unconditional commitments to limited partnerships, committed loan facility agreements and a conditional loan and purchase agreement, as follows:

	Group		Company
	2022	2021	2022	2021
	£m	£m	£m	£m
Investments
Contracted but not called	331.1	285.9	331.1	290.4
Conditionally contracted	-	75.6	4.5	75.6
	331.1	361.5	335.6	366.0

Amounts are callable within the next twelve months.  The group has conducted a going concern assessment which considered future cash flows, the availability of liquid assets and debt facilities, and consideration of the risks arising from the Covid-19 pandemic over the 12 month period required. In making this assessment a number of stress scenarios were developed. The most severe scenario included all outstanding private equity fund commitments being drawn. Under this severe scenario the group would have a range of mitigating actions available to it, including usage of banking facilities, disposal of some liquid assets and reduction in discretionary spend which would enable it to meet all of its liabilities and still hold significant liquid assets

8. Performance measures

Caledonia uses a number of performance measures to aid the understanding of its results. The performance measures are standard within the investment trust industry and Caledonia's use of such measures enhances comparability. Principal performance measures are as follows:

Net assets

Net assets provides a measure of the value of the company to shareholders and is taken from the IFRS group net assets.

Net asset value ('NAV')

NAV is a measure of the value of the company, being its assets - principally investments made in other companies and cash held - minus any liabilities. NAV per share is calculated by dividing net assets by the number of shares in issue, adjusted for shares held by the Employee Share Trust and for dilution by the exercise of outstanding share awards. NAV takes account of dividends payable on the ex-dividend date.

NAV total return ('NAVTR')

NAVTR is a measure of how the net asset value per share has performed over a period, considering both capital returns and dividends paid to shareholders. NAVTR is calculated as the increase in NAV between the beginning and end of the period, plus the accretion from assumed dividend reinvestment during the period. We use this measure as it enables comparisons to be drawn against an investment index in order to benchmark performance. The calculation follows the method prescribed by the Association of Investment Companies ('AIC').

Total shareholder return ('TSR')

TSR measures the return to shareholders through the movement in the share price and dividends paid during the measurement period.

9. Financial instruments - private asset valuation

Caledonia makes private equity investments in two forms: direct private equity investments (the Private Capital pool) and investments into externally managed unlisted private equity funds and fund of funds (the Funds pool). The directors have made two estimates which they deem to have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the amounts recognised in the financial statements within the next financial year, which relate to the valuation of assets within these two pools.

For directly owned private investments (Private Capital investments), totalling £781.7m (2021: £826.8m) valuation techniques using a range of internally and externally developed unobservable inputs are used to estimate fair value. Valuation techniques make maximum use of market inputs, including reference to the current fair values of instruments that are substantially the same (subject to appropriate adjustments).

For private equity fund investments (unlisted Funds Pool investments), totalling £784.7m (2021: £627.5 m) held through externally managed fund vehicles, the estimated fair value is based on the most recent valuation provided by the external manager, usually received within 3-6 months of the relevant valuation date. Where required, valuations are adjusted for investments and distributions between the valuation date and the reporting date.

The following table provides information on significant unobservable inputs used at 31 March 2022 in measuring financial instruments categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

For private company assets we have chosen to sensitise and disclose EBITDA multiple or tangible asset multiple inputs because their derivation involves the most significant judgements when estimating valuation, including which data sets to consider and prioritise. Valuations also include other unobservable inputs, including earnings and tangible assets, which are based on historic and forecast data and are less judgmental. For each asset category, inputs were sensitised by a percentage deemed to reflect the relative degree of estimation uncertainty, and valuation calculations re-performed to identify the impact.

Private equity fund assets are each held in and managed by the same type of fund vehicle, valued using the same method of adjusted manager valuations, and subject to broadly the same economic risks. They are therefore subject to a similar degree of estimation uncertainty. They have been sensitised at an aggregated level by 5% to reflect a degree of uncertainty over managers' valuations which form the basis of their fair value.
