CHAIR’S LETTER
The Company achieved its 2025 dividend
target of 8.58p per share and I am
particularly proud of our recognition as a
‘Next Generation Dividend Hero’ by the
Association of Investment Companies
(‘AIC’)
1
. Having delivered annual dividend
growth of at least 2.5% since inception in
2006, the Company holds the longest track
record of uninterrupted dividend increases
among infrastructure and renewable energy
investment trusts. The Board is pleased
to reconfirm the dividend target of 8.79p
for 2026
2
and declare a 2027 target of
9.01p per share
2
.
1 https://www.theaic.co.uk/income-finder/dividend-heroes.
2 There can be no assurance that these targets will be met or that the Company will make any distributions at all.
3 As at 24 March 2026. This is calculated based on INPPs weighted average discount rate, less the Ongoing Charges Ratio,
adjusted to reflect the share price discount to the NAV using published sensitivities.
4 Calculated by running a ‘plus 1.0%’ inflation sensitivity for each investment and solving each investment’s discount rate to
return the original valuation. The inflation-linked return is the increase in the weighted average discount rate. Once Sizewell
C is fully invested, this is expected to increase to 0.8%.
5 The 2026 projected dividend target of 8.79p divided by the Company’s share price as at 24 March 2026.
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
I am pleased to report a strong and
resilient set of results for the year ended
31December 2025. This performance
reflects another year of consistent delivery
to our shareholders of stable, long-term,
inflation-linked returns.
Against a backdrop of macroeconomic and
international political issues adversely
affecting the investment environment, the
underlying performance of our investments
remains strong. Geopolitical tensions – such
as the war in Ukraine, the US claims over
Greenland and, most recently, the emerging
conflict with Iran – alongside evolving trade
dynamics, continue to contribute to
heightened volatility. Separately, the rapid
advancement of artificial intelligence remains
poised to reshape industries and economies
worldwide. While the direct impact of these
developments on our portfolio has been
limited, the Board remains alert to the risks
they pose and confident in the defensive
positioning of our investments. As we
approach the Company’s 20th anniversary,
we take comfort that our portfolio of
diversified, high-quality essential infrastructure
assets has consistently delivered
predictable returns throughout economic
cycles and prior periods of market volatility.
MIKE GERRARD
CHAIR
A LOW-RISK PORTFOLIO DIVERSIFIED
BY BOTH SECTOR AND GEOGRAPHY
With 98% of INPP’s revenues derived
from public sector or regulated sources,
INPP benefits from highly predictable,
long-term cash flows, and its defensive
characteristics are clear. The portfolio has
limited exposure to the conventional risk
factors of equity investments, having low
volume risk, minimal price or demand
sensitivity, refinancing risk or residual value
exposure. This revenue security combined
with our projected 25-year dividend visibility
demonstrates why the Company remains
well-positioned to deliver for shareholders
over the long term.
Moreover, this revenue credit quality,
combined with significant inflation protection
across the portfolio, positions INPP to
generate an attractive projected net return
of approximately 10.3%
3
with substantial
inflation linkage of 0.7%
4
, and delivering a
7.1%
5
dividend yield to investors through
quarterly payments.
98%
of portfolio backed by long-term
secure revenues
International Public Partnerships Limited
Annual Report and financial statements 2025
04
The Board believes these characteristics
represent a compelling proposition,
particularly when compared to UK
Government bonds, which currently
offer returns substantially below INPP’s
projected returns.
Throughout 2025, the portfolio has
exceeded the Company’s KPI targets of
98% asset availability
6
achieving 99.7% for
the year and receiving 100% of forecast
distributions. This demonstrates the
quality of the diversified exposure across
the regulated, public-private partnerships
(‘PPP’) and operating businesses – all in
essential infrastructure sectors – which have
continued to generate the cash flows that
underpin our dividend policy.
Our largest holdings, including Tideway,
Cadent, our portfolio of Offshore
Transmission assets (‘OFTOs’), and our
extensive PPP holdings across the UK,
Europe, North America, Australia and
New Zealand, all performed strongly
during the year.
The operational stability of these assets,
combined with their revenue inflation-linkage
and revenue credit quality, demonstrates why
infrastructure assets of this calibre remain
highly attractive to long-term investors.
Towards the end of the year, the Company
successfully completed its first PPP
hand-back to the public sector, when the
Hereford and Worcester Courts scheme
reached the natural conclusion of its
contract. The process proceeded in line
with expectations and positive feedback
was provided by the Ministry of Justice
and NISTA advisers, in respect of how it
was managed and the outcomes delivered.
The expiry dates for the remainder of the
Company’s PPP concessions span the
next 25 years. Further information on the
Company’s hand-back process and wider
asset management initiatives can be found
within the Asset Management section on
pages 34 to 41.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
NAV increased by 6.8p per share, from
144.7p at 31 December 2024 to 151.5p
at 31 December 2025, representing NAV
growth of 4.7%. This increase, combined
with dividend payments during 2025 of
8.47p per share, generated a NAV total
return of 10.6%
7
for the year.
The Company delivered its 2025 dividend
target of 8.58p per share, with dividends
1.1x covered by operating cash receipts
before capital activity. This continues our
unbroken track record of progressive
dividend growth since inception in 2006.
The weighted average discount rate
(‘WADR’) increased from 9.0% to 9.1%,
principally reflecting the recycling of
capital from lower-returning assets into
higher-returning opportunities. INPP’s
discount rates reflect observable pricing
CAPITAL ALLOCATION: DISCIPLINED EXECUTION
Throughout 2025, the Board remained focused on disciplined capital allocation, to enhance
shareholder value; and we have successfully executed our strategy across four key areas:
1. Strategic Asset
Recycling
We continued our programme of portfolio optimisation,
announcing c.£130m of realisations during 2025. Total
realisations since June 2023 now stand at over £385m,
equivalent to c.14% of the portfolio as at 31 December 2025.
We have secured realisations across all three segments of
the portfolio, covering regulated assets, PPPs and operating
businesses, as well as across various subsectors and
geographies. All transactions achieved realisations either in line
with, or above the most recently published valuations. Further
information can be seen on pages 26 to 27.
2. Capital Returns
Through Buybacks
We extended our share buyback programme until 31 March
2027 with a total commitment of up to £225m. As at year-end,
we had repurchased £120.6m worth of shares, adding an
estimated 1.5p per share to NAV.
3. Enhanced
Dividend and
Quarterly
Payments
We met our 2025 dividend target of 8.58p per share and the
Board expects to continue its long-term target rate of a 2.5%
annual increase from 2026 onwards. From 2025, we increased
dividend frequency from semi-annual to quarterly payments,
providing investors with more regular income.
4. Selective New
Investment
Over £345m of new and strategic commitments have been
made since June 2023 where projected returns exceeded both
the returns from divested assets and those implied by share
buybacks at prevailing prices.
evidence, and we believe this methodology
appropriately reflects the realisable value
of our assets; and is validated by our track
record of achieving disposals at or above
carrying value. Further detail is provided
in the Investor Returns section on
pages 44 to 51.
SIZEWELL C, A LANDMARK
INVESTMENT
The most significant capital allocation
decision taken during the year was INPP’s
commitment to invest c.£254m in Sizewell
C, the UK’s new nuclear power station.
This landmark investment represents a 3%
equity stake in a project that will provide
7% of the UK’s forecast electricity needs
for over 60 years, once operational in the
mid-to-late 2030s.
6 The asset availability target applies to assets generating availability-based revenues (i.e. both PPPs and OFTOs). See pages 36 to 39 of the Asset Management for further information on the
asset availability during the year.
7 NAV total return is calculated as the closing NAV per share plus dividends paid during the period, divided by the opening NAV per share.

CHAIR’S LETTER continUeD

10 https://www.internationalpublicpartnerships.com/investors/reports-recordings-and-other-publications/?
The Company achieved its 2025 dividend
target, and I am particularly proud of our
recognition as a ‘Next Generation Dividend
Hero’ by the AIC. Having delivered annual
dividend growth of at least 2.5% since
inception in 2006.
MIKE GERRARD
CHAIR
This opportunity exemplifies the benefits of
our partnership with our Investment Adviser,
Amber Infrastructure. Amber has worked
closely with the UK Government to design a
financing framework that would make new
nuclear attractive to infrastructure investors,
establishing Sizewell C as the first nuclear
power project to be substantially financed
by private capital in the UK. The result is a
Regulated Asset Base structure modelled
on our highly successful Thames Tideway
investment, providing INPP with predictable,
inflation-linked cash flows regulated by
Ofgem. It also offers: a cash yield from day
one of financial close, with significant yield
increase once operational; an attractive
allowed return on equity during construction
and early operations, which are projected
to deliver a low-teen internal rate of
return over that period; as well as having
no exposure to power price volatility or
demand-based risks.
The commitment will be funded over five
years through the ongoing recycling of
lower-returning assets from our existing
portfolio, demonstrating how our capital
allocation strategy creates space for
higher-return opportunities, without
diluting shareholders, and delivering on the
Company’s progressive dividend policy.
See more information in the Case Study
onpages 24 to 25.
THE CAPABILITIES OF THE
INVESTMENT ADVISER
Our ability to access opportunities like
Sizewell C reflects the significant capabilities
of Amber Infrastructure, the Company’s
Investment Adviser. Amber’s market-leading
expertise in infrastructure investment, their
proactive relationships with government and
industry, and their track record of innovation
in project structuring, provides INPP with a
sustainable competitive advantage.
Over the past year, Amber has
demonstrated their value through:
Identifying and structuring the Sizewell
C opportunity, positioning INPP as a
first mover in deploying capital into
RAB projects
Proactive asset management that
ensured all portfolio assets performed
in line with or ahead of expectations
Leading sustainability and ESG
integration, with Amber achieving
the highest PRI rating of five stars
The Board remains confident in Amber’s
ability to optimise the existing portfolio
by originating and executing attractive
investment opportunities, through its
differentiated platform, whilst ensuring
that the risk profile of new investments
remains closely aligned with the Company’s
established risk appetite. Amber continues
to play a central role in ensuring that all
investments align with the Company’s
objectives of maintaining and enhancing
a geographically diversified portfolio, and
delivering sustainable long-term value
forshareholders.
Supported by over 25 years of dividend
visibility and a strong pipeline of global
opportunities, including the proposed
investment in Moray West OFTO, where
Amber has led the Company to preferred
bidder status, INPP remains well positioned
to navigate future challenges and capitalise
on emerging opportunities.
INVESTOR POLICY INITIATIVES
The Board is committed to ensuring
Amber’s remuneration structure is
appropriately aligned with shareholder
interests. From 1 July 2025, we
implemented a revised fee structure under
which Amber’s base fee is calculated from
an equal weighting of market capitalisation
and NAV. This change, expected to
reduce the ongoing management fee by
approximately 10% per annum
8
, enhances
alignment whilst maintaining Amber’s
incentive to grow NAV.
The Company continues its commitment
to disclosure of sustainability initiatives and
there have been several highlights during
the year, which continue to demonstrate
the positive environmental characteristics
of our investments. For example, data
shows that from September 2024 until
March 2026, Tideway has prevented over
19m tonnes of sewage from entering the
River Thames, equivalent to 7,600 Olympic-
sized swimming pools or five Wembley
stadiums
9
. For more information, please
refer to the Sustainability Report published
alongside this Annual Report

.
International Public Partnerships Limited
Annual Report and financial statements 2025

The Board remains supportive of broader
industry initiatives aimed at enhancing
transparency, accessibility and long-term
investor confidence. In this regard, we
welcomed the FCAs ruling on the way
ongoing costs are disclosed to investors
introduced in late 2025, which we believe
represents a constructive step towards
improved clarity for investors. We have also
engaged in policy discussions through our
support for the AICs’ advocacy in relation
to the Pension Scheme Bill, specifically
endorsing the inclusion of investment trusts
as suitable vehicles for pension investment
in the UK.
Alongside these efforts, we have continued
to enhance our disclosures in response
to investor feedback, providing greater
transparency on portfolio cash flows,
asset-level performance metrics, and
the key drivers of value across our top
holdings. These improvements are intended
to support investor understanding while
maintaining appropriate confidentiality
around commercially sensitive information.
Further information on these assets and
their performance can be found in the Top
10 section on pages 14 to 23.
In addition, the Board has maintained
a proactive approach to marketing and
shareholder engagement initiatives, with a
focus on attracting new sources of capital
through enhanced media and marketing
initiatives, while further strengthening
relationships with our existing shareholder
base. During the year, the Board and
Investment Adviser engaged with c.400
shareholders through webinar updates
and one-to-one meetings.
BOARD GOVERNANCE
As reported previously, John Le Poidevin
and Giles Frost both retired from the
Board at the 2025 AGM, after many years
of dedicated service to the Company.
Following the retirement of John, and as
previously announced, Meriel Lenfestey was
appointed Senior Independent Director.
We were delighted to welcome Sarah
Whitney to the Board in November 2025.
Sarah will succeed me as Chair from the
AGM in June 2026. Sarah is a Chartered
Accountant who brings an exceptional
track record to INPP, of corporate
governance and professional advisory in
the infrastructure and real estate sectors.
I have been very fortunate during my time
as Chair to have had the wise counsel of so
many talented and experienced directors
on the Board. Their insights and expertise
have been the bedrock of the Company’s
strong corporate governance during, what
has proved to be, a period of exceptional
challenge for the sector. It has been a
privilege to work with them, and to lead
the Board of such a well advised, managed
and performing investment company.
OUTLOOK: INFRASTRUCTURE
DIFFERENTIATION
The listed infrastructure sector has faced
challenges over the past two years, as rising
government bond yields have compressed
valuations across all yield-sensitive assets.
Whilst this has impacted the share prices
of INPP and its peers, the performance of
the portfolio itself has continued to exceed
its targets. During this time, INPP has
continued to demonstrate disciplined and
proactive governance. The Company was
among the first in its peer group to adjust
the discount rates which it uses to value
the portfolio, ensuring those valuations
remain robust and reflective of prevailing
conditions; whilst also working closely
with Amber to revise their fee structure
to enhance alignment with shareholders.
The early repayment of the corporate debt
facility further strengthened the balance
sheet, reducing financial risk and increasing
flexibility to reinvest capital into higher-value
opportunities. All of these steps helped lay
the foundations for the recent uplift in NAV.
INPP’s portfolio of essential infrastructure,
backed by strong revenue credit quality,
providing inflation-linked returns, and
managed by a world-class Investment
Adviser, represents a strongly defensive
investment proposition.
Our nearly 20 consecutive years of dividend
growth through the global financial crisis,
Brexit, the pandemic, and interest rate
cycles demonstrate the resilience of our
business model.
I and my fellow directors conclude by
thanking all our investors for their continued
support; and by thanking all our wider
stakeholders for their always constructive
engagement. In today’s evolving landscape,
all participants within the infrastructure
sector must continue to act to a common
purpose in the delivery, investment and
stewardship of public service assets, which
are the cornerstone of a modern society.

half-yearly to quarterly payments. The interim dividend of 2.15p announced on
26March 2026 is expected to be paid on 8 June 2026.
2 The target return for any new investment is informed by several factors including,
(i) the Company’s share price relative to its NAV, (ii) the Company’s weighted
average discount rate, and (iii) any pertinent economic or strategic considerations.
Further information can be found on page 44.
3 Calculated by running a ‘plus 1.0%’ inflation sensitivity for each investment
and solving each investment’s discount rate to return the original valuation.
The inflation-linked return is the increase in the weighted average discount rate.
Please refer to pages 44 to 51 for further detail.
4 Measured by comparing forecast portfolio distributions against actual portfolio
distributions received, in local currency. .
5 The asset availability target applies to assets generating availability-based
revenues (i.e. both PPPs and OFTOs). See pages 36 to 39 for further information
on the asset availability during the year.
6 The Company’s Investment Adviser was awarded the highest rating of 5-stars in
the UN-backed PRI 2025 assessment for the Policy Governance and Strategy and

approach to asset management.
8 Cash dividend payments to investors are paid from net operating cash flow before
capital activity. Movements in the level of coverage from period to period can be
expected due to the profile of projected distribution receipts from the portfolio
over time (see chart on page 48), and are not necessarily a reflection of changes
in the level of asset performance.

ASSET PERFORMANCE
Performance in line with expectations
The Thames Tideway Tunnel is currently functional and
operational and to date has saved 19m tonnes of sewage from
flowing into the River Thames across c.70 separate storm events
in the period. In total this represents over 800 individual instances
where the tunnel intercepted sewage from being discharged
into the River Thames from the combined sewage overflows
that provide overflow capacity to the legacy sewer system. The
tunnel is currently in a planned commissioning period, with tests
being undertaken prior to a formal handover to Thames Water, at
which point Thames Water will conduct its own tests for a period
in order to confirm their own acceptance of the system. Further
information can be seen on page 39.

Tideway has a licence to design, build, finance, commission

the River Thames, one of the UK’s largest infrastructure
projects in a generation.
Tideway earns long-term revenues under a Regulated Asset
Base (‘RAB’) model

, with charges collected through customer
bills. This well-established regulatory framework provides high
inflation linkage and largely demand-insensitive cash flows,
underpinning a resilient and predictable return profile through

CADENT
ASSET PERFORMANCE
Performance in line with expectations
In December 2025, Ofgem published its RIIO-3 Final
Determination (‘FD’) for Cadent, which sets out its allowed
revenues, investment allowances, obligations, and performance
requirements for the 2026-2031 price control period. Overall,
the FD represents a more favourable position than Ofgem’s
draftproposals and provides Cadent with higher and more
workable allowances than previously anticipated. See more

(0.9%) movement during the year
While the fair value has decreased modestly over the year
to 31 December 2025, the current valuation fully reflects the
RIIO-3 Final Determination within updated cash flow forecasts,
supported by continued distributions and the long-term
predictability of the regulatory framework. The majority of this
adjustment was recognised at the half year, with no material
further impact in the second half of 2025.
Cadent is the UK’s largest gas distribution network, owning
four of the UK’s eight regional gas distribution networks
and in aggregate providing gas to approximately 11m homes
and businesses.
Cadent is regulated by Ofgem under a Regulated Asset Value
(‘RAV’) framework, earning revenues through allowed charges
set by the regulator rather than through exposure to commodity
prices or volumetric demand. This regulatory structure provides
a high degree of revenue visibility and inflation linkage.

DIABOLO
The scheme benefits from a Revenue Adjustment mechanism
that provides Diabolo with a contractual right to request an
adjustment to the passenger supplement to ensure investor
returns are protected where passenger volumes fall below
prescribed levels. This mechanism has been utilised twice during
the concession term, once in 2013, and again in 2022 as a result
of the Covid-19 pandemic.
ASSET PERFORMANCE
Performance in line with expectations
The performance of Diabolo continues to be aligned with
management expectations. During 2025, passenger volumes
continued to increase in alignment with the increase in the airline
passengers travelling to and from Brussels airport, this is despite
the strike action affecting flights and rail travel that took place
during the year. Diabolo continued to deliver its maintenance
obligations via its supply chain partner Infrabel with no interruptions
to service during the year.

Diabolo Rail Link (‘Diabolo’) integrates Brussels Airport with
the Belgian national rail network, allowing passengers to
access high-speed train services including the Amsterdam-
Brussels-Paris corridor.
Diabolo receives a mix of passenger-linked revenue and a
fixed availability payment that provides a stable income base.
Diabolo’s passenger revenues are derived from a supplement
fee paid by passengers boarding or disembarking a train at
Brussels Airport.

ANGEL TRAINS
ASSET PERFORMANCE
Performance in line with expectations
During the year, the asset has continued to perform well with its
rolling stock fleet near fully deployed on lease to train operating
companies across the UK. In April, it complemented its existing
fleet with a c.£300m investment in 45 tri-mode rail cars that will be
leased to Arriva Group for use on its open access Grand Central
services. The trains will be manufactured by Hitachi at its Newton
Aycliffe factory, supporting jobs in the North East of England and
supporting the UK Government’s Industrial Strategy.

A partial offer received ahead of the June 2025 publication
provided clear market evidence of the investment’s fair value
and the implied uplift was substantially reflected in the interim
valuation of the Company’s stake at that point. The transaction
was subsequently completed in the second half of the year,
reducing the Company’s holding from 10% to 8% and realising
proceeds at a premium to the prior carrying value.
The year-end fair value reflects two offsetting effects, the
reduction in ownership following completion of the transaction
and the uplift in the carrying value of the retained interest
informed by the transaction pricing. As a result, while the
reported year-on-year movement appears modest,
it incorporates a material uplift in the underlying value
of the investment alongside the partial realisation of the
Company’s stake.
Angel Trains has an asset base of c.4,000 vehicles, making it
the UK’s largest rolling stock leasing company (‘ROSCO’) with
a leading share of the UK market.
It is one of the three original ROSCOs established in 1994 in
preparation for the privatisation of British Rail. The Company’s
core expertise lies in procuring state-of-the-art rolling stock and
leasing it to various train operating companies (‘TOCs’) under
medium to long-term agreements, with rolling stock owners
insulated from passenger demand risk. Angel Trains has invested
over £5bn in rolling stock since establishment, with recent
investment focused predominantly on electric vehicles in support
of the UK’s decarbonisation objectives.

The EA1 project connects the 714MW EA1 offshore wind farm,
located c.50km off the Suffolk coast, to the National Grid.
The transmission assets comprise the onshore and offshore

ASSET PERFORMANCE
Performance in line with expectations
During the year, the asset has continued to demonstrate strong
operational performance, maintaining high levels of availability and
reliability while supporting the efficient transmission of offshore
generation to the onshore grid. Planned and unplanned outage
rates remained well controlled, safety performance was robust,
and compliance with regulatory and technical standards was
fully maintained. Overall, the asset has delivered a stable, resilient
service, with asset availability recorded at 99.8%, reinforcing the
maturity and reliability of the OFTO asset class.

In December 2025, the Company announced a divestment of

previously published NAV, providing direct market evidence for
the valuation of these assets. The fair value continues to reflect
strong operational performance and consistently high asset
availability, with stable and predictable cash flows supported
by regular distributions during the year.
The Company’s OFTO investments are regulated by the Office
of Gas and Electricity Markets (‘Ofgem’) which grants licences
to transmit electricity generated by offshore wind farms into
the onshore grid.
The revenues generated are not linked to electricity production or
price, instead the OFTO is paid a pre-agreed, availability-based
revenue stream for a fixed period of time (typically 20-25 years).

BeNEX
ASSET PERFORMANCE
Performance in line with expectations
During 2025, BeNEX continued the successful post-merger
integration of Abellio Germany activities, which are progressing
ahead of plan and resulting in higher than anticipated synergies.
Abellio Germany was acquired by BeNEX in late 2024. Moreover,
BeNEX successfully secured and renewed multiple concessions,
including the new 14-year RE34 concession in one of Germany’s
most densely populated regions in the West and secured key
re-wins in Northern Germany and also managed the start of
operations of new concession sections. As a result, BeNEX will
operate 15 concessions across 14 of the 16 German states,
totalling around 67m train kilometres per annum reinforcing its
position as one of Germany’s largest passenger rail operators by
service volume. See more information on page 40.

BeNEX is a wholly-owned German regional rail business,
operating concession agreements with majority of the
German federal states and providing passenger rail services
across a broad geographic footprint.
BeNEX generates revenues primarily through concession-based
payments, while also owning a diverse rolling stock fleet which
is leased to its train operating companies for periods typically
matching the underlying concession term. With revenues
underpinned by government-backed concession agreements
and limited direct passenger demand risk, BeNEX benefits from
a stable, contracted and predictable income profile.

In December 2025, the Company announced a divestment of
a minority stake in an OFTO asset at a price slightly above the
previously published NAV, providing direct market evidence for
the valuation of these assets. The relatively modest valuation
movement is primarily a function of the asset’s strong cash

realised through cash distributions rather than retained within
fairvalue.
The Company’s OFTO investments are regulated by Ofgem

4 The valuation movement in Angel Trains reflects the partial sale of the Company’s stake completed in H2 2025, which reduced INPP’s ownership from 10% to 8%. Notwithstanding this
reduction, the underlying valuation of the asset increased on a like-for-like basis during the period, reflecting transaction pricing evidence from the partial stake sale and continued strong
operational performance. The reported movement therefore comprises the net effect of a positive revaluation of the underlying asset, more than offsetting the reduction in ownership arising
from the disposal.

CASE STUDY
SIZEWELL C
OVERVIEW
Sizewell C is the most significant new
energy infrastructure project in a generation,
representing a landmark investment in
reliable, low-carbon power that will underpin
the country’s energy security for decades
to come. In November 2025, INPP reached
financial close on its investment in Sizewell
C, a new nuclear power station in Suffolk.
The station will consist of two 1.6GW
European Pressurised Reactors (‘EPR’),
which will produce enough energy to power
around six million homes, or approximately
7%
1
of UK demand. Once operational, it is
expected to supply baseload power for at
least 60 years, bolstering the UK’s energy
security and contributing significantly to its
net-zero ambitions. It is also the second
new UK nuclear plant in a generation
and the first nuclear project financed
under a Regulated Asset Base (‘RAB’)
model, representing a step change in how
complex, capital-intensive infrastructure can
be delivered through partnership between
private investors and the public sector.
INPP has invested alongside a consortium
that includes the UK Government, EDF,
Centrica, Nuclear Liabilities Fund and La
Caisse, jointly funding the construction
programme. While the Company’s
shareholding is modest at c.3%, INPP and
its Investment Adviser were closely involved
over many years in the development of the
project’s financing framework, applying
their experience in regulated infrastructure
to support the adaptation of the RAB
model for nuclear. By attracting long-
term institutional capital at a lower cost
than alternative funding methods, INPP’s
investment into Sizewell C helps deliver
critical infrastructure that represents value
for money for electricity consumers.
STRATEGIC FIT AND INVESTOR
BENEFITS
INPP has a strong track record in regulated
infrastructure, including regulated energy
networks, the Thames Tideway Tunnel
and in regulated gas business Cadent,
giving the Company and its Investment
Adviser deep familiarity with the RAB
model and confidence in the risk-adjusted
return profile. Sizewell C represents a
natural extension of this expertise, bringing
the discipline of regulated infrastructure
investment to bear on a project of national
significance and apply to nuclear the same
analytical and structuring rigour that INPP
has developed across its wider portfolio.
During the construction phase, INPP
is expected to receive a cash yield of
approximately 6% per annum of its invested
capital, commencing immediately following
financial close and contributing to the
Company’s dividend cover and returns.
Once operational, the yield to investors will
step up, driving higher cash distributions
for investors. Overall, INPP forecasts an
accretive return relative to alternative
uses of capital (e.g. share buybacks). The
inflation linkage further bolsters the real
value of returns over time, aligning with
INPP’s goal of delivering inflation-adjusted
income to its shareholders. Importantly,
these returns are achieved without exposing
INPP to commodity or demand risk, as
the Company is investing in the regulated
project company (Sizewell C Ltd). Sizewell
C’s revenues come from regulated charges,
independent of fluctuations in electricity
market prices or volume.
The Company has structured its
commitment to maintain funding discipline
in this environment of continuing high
borrowing costs. The committed equity
is expected to be funded through the
Company’s capital recycling initiatives,
rather than new equity issuance or use of
the revolving credit facility. The project’s long
asset life extends the portfolio’s weighted
average investment life by approximately
four years and improves cash flow visibility.
By 2030, when equity funding is complete
and construction is well advanced, Sizewell
C is expected to represent around 10% of
portfolio NAV, supporting long-term growth
within a balanced sector mix.
Despite being a minority shareholder, INPP
has secured robust rights within a two-tier
board structure. Through the Investment
Adviser, INPP holds a seat on the holding
company board alongside the Government
and other major investors, providing input
into commercial and financial decisions. At
the operating company level, the Investment
Adviser has an observer role, ensuring
information access while avoiding direct
operational exposure. Investor protections
are reinforced through reserved matters and
veto rights on key decisions, particularly
where potential conflicts may arise.
INNOVATIVE RAB FINANCING
Under the RAB framework, construction
expenditure is added to the regulated asset
base over time. As capital is deployed, the
RAB increases and the regulatory regime
allows recovery of allowed revenue from
consumers, by earning a regulated return
on the growing balance. This structure
enables investors to earn regulated returns
during construction, rather than waiting for
operations to begin.

International Public Partnerships Limited
Annual Report and financial statements 2025
24
Allowed revenue is determined by a small
number of transparent building blocks.
During construction, these comprise a return
on capital, calculated as the RAB multiplied
by an allowed weighted average cost of
capital (‘WACC’), permitted operating costs
and incentive mechanisms that reward good
delivery and penalise underperformance.
Once operational, allowed revenue also
includes depreciation, which returns capital
over the asset’s operating life.
The RAB framework sets two key cost
thresholds: the Lower Regulatory Threshold
(‘LRT’) and Higher Regulatory Threshold
(‘HRT’) that determine how construction
cost risks are shared among investors,
consumers, and the government. The LRT
represents a moderate outturn on cost
and schedule and the HRT represents
a severe outturn, both set above the
Sizewell C management cost estimate of
approximately £38bn in real 2024 terms.
In the Company’s upside economic case,
where total construction costs end up
being below the LRT, investors benefit
from higher returns by sharing 50% of the
efficiency savings achieved with consumers.
Importantly, Sizewell C’s own management
cost estimate falls below the LRT, meaning
that delivery in line with management’s
target would itself represent an upside
scenario for investors. In the Company’s
base economic case, it is assumed total
construction costs are equal to the LRT,
representing a moderate cost outturn
expected to deliver low-teen returns during
the construction period based on a real
allowed return on equity of 10.8% plus
inflation as measured by CPIH.
If construction costs end up being between
the LRT and HRT, overruns are split evenly
between investors and consumers, with
investors earning regulated returns on
only half of the excess costs above the
LRT. In the Company’s downside case,
where total construction costs are equal
to the HRT, representing a severe cost
overrun, investors are expected to achieve
a lower return but one that remains in
the double-digits. If construction costs
exceed the HRT level, government support
limits further investor exposure. In such
downside circumstances, INPP continues
to project a return higher than its current
weighted average discount rate. Overall,
the framework provides strong protection,
ensuring investors can still achieve returns
above the benchmark discount rate even in
severe cost overruns.

KEY FACTS:
Incentives are aligned through performance-
based rewards and penalties, supported
by lender protections that may restrict
distributions if agreed standards are not
met. Delivery risk is further mitigated through
replication of the EPR design and construction
approach used at Hinkley Point C, allowing
standardisation and incorporation of lessons
learned, with expected improvements in cost
and schedule efficiency. The structural integrity
of the RAB framework is further reinforced
by the terms of the Government Support
Package which are established in bilateral
contracts requiring counterparty consent
to modify and are overseen by Ofgem as
independent regulator. The UK Government
participates as a significant co-investor in the
project, aligning its interests directly with those
of private investors and providing additional
confidence in the stability of the agreed terms.
IMPACT ON UK ENERGY SECURITY
AND NET-ZERO TRANSITION
Beyond financial returns, Sizewell C is
central to the UK’s power system transition.
With much of the existing nuclear fleet
expected to retire by 2030, the project
provides new firm, low-carbon generation
capacity to complement intermittent
renewable generation. Once operational, its
reliable baseload power will displace fossil
fuel generation to help decarbonise the
electricity system and support the UK’s Net
Zero 2050 pathway.
The project also has a meaningful social
and economic impact. It is expected to
directly support around 8,000 jobs at
peak construction, with a third coming
from East Anglia, and to deliver 1,500
apprenticeships. It is also expected to drive
substantial UK supply chain participation,
reinforcing Sizewell C’s role as both a
nationally significant energy asset and a
long duration, regulated investment aligned
with INPP’s shareholder objectives. Unlike
intermittent renewable sources, nuclear
delivers firm, dispatchable baseload
power that operates regardless of weather
conditions. As the UK’s electricity system
transitions to an increasing proportion of
renewables, this ability to provide reliable
output around the clock makes Sizewell C
not merely complementary to the energy
transition, but essential to it.
Further information can be seen on
the Company’s website (https://www.
internationalpublicpartnerships.com/
investments/case-studies/sizewell-c)
and inthe Company’s latest
Sustainability Report.
1 10.8% is the real allowed return on RAB for
equity investors, agreed by the Secretary
of State for the duration of the construction
period and early operations. Actual returns
will nonetheless reflect cost and schedule
performance relative to the regulatory
thresholds. Adding indexation as measured by
CPIH is expected to bring the nominal return to
investors into the low teens.

STRATEGIC REPORToverview STRATEGIC REPORT
OPERATING REVIEW
Since late 2022, the UK listed infrastructure market has continued to operate against a more challenging macroeconomic backdrop, with
inflation and bond yields remaining elevated relative to historic norms. Notwithstanding this, the outlook for essential infrastructure remains
extremely positive, supported by its resilient, long-dated and inflation-linked nature and ongoing government support for critical infrastructure
investment. As market conditions began to stabilise in 2025, opportunities began to emerge for private capital to invest in high-quality,
de-risked assets offering attractive risk-adjusted returns, as demonstrated by the Company’s investment in Sizewell C.
While share price discounts to NAV persist, the Company continues to take a disciplined approach to capital allocation, only considering
investment acquisitions where expected returns are considered attractive relative to share buybacks and which align with the Company’s
investment strategy. Active portfolio management remains a priority, with the enhanced capital return programme intended to be funded
through a combination of divestments and surplus cash flow. Where compelling opportunities arise that enhance portfolio quality and
support long-term value creation, recycled capital will be deployed accordingly, as evidenced by investments in Sizewell C and the
Company’s selection as preferred bidder on Moray West OFTO.
INVESTMENT REALISATIONS
The Board and the Investment Adviser continue to actively pursue selective divestment opportunities across INPP’s portfolio to support
valuations and fund the continued return of capital to investors as well as new investments that meet the Company’s reinvestment criteria.
Since June 2023, the Company has realised over £385m of capital, representing c.14% of the portfolio as at 31 December 2025. These
realisations, executed across multiple subsectors and geographies, have strengthened the Company’s NAV and supported the ongoing
return of capital to shareholders, including through the share buyback programme. All realisations have completed in line with, or above,
theirmost relevant published valuations.
During the year to 31 December 2025, INPP announced its intention to realise a total of c.£130m from across its portfolio, with the
final transaction reaching financial close in February 2026. The Company continues to actively pursue both individual assets and
portfolio divestments.

divestment opportunities to ensure
the portfolio remains aligned with the
Company’s long-term strategic objectives.
DESIRABLE KEY ATTRIBUTES FOR
THE PORTFOLIO
Any new investments will remain consistent
with the Company’s investment objectives
to provide investors with long-term,
inflation-linked cash flows and/or the
potential for capital appreciation. Consistent
with the Board’s KPI targets, new
investments are therefore required to have
at least two of the four key attributes listed
below. Any investment is also required to
positively contribute towards the SDGs
(see the Responsible Investment KPI on
pages 12 to 13).
1 Long-term, stable returns
2 Inflation-linked investor cash flows
3 Early-stage investor (e.g. the Company
is an early-stage investor in a new
opportunity developed by its Investment
Adviser) or investments secured through
preferential access (e.g. sourced
through pre-emptive rights)
4 Potential for capital appreciation (e.g.
through ‘de-risking’ or residual/terminal
value growth)
1 This is reflective of the 2026 and 2027 dividend targets, and c.2.5% annual dividend growth thereafter.

DIFFERENTIATOR OF THE
INVESTMENT ADVISER
Amber has served as Investment Adviser
to the Company since its inception in
2006
1
, consistently sourcing and delivering
investment opportunities through a
disciplined and differentiated platform.
Central to Amber’s approach is the
construction of a well-balanced portfolio,
targeting a mix of availability-style revenues
and operational businesses with strong
characteristics and stable cash flows.
This ensures resilience while maintaining
a focus on predictable, index-linked
incomestreams.
Amber applies a rigorous framework to risk
management, ensuring that risks are clearly
identified, measured, and actively mitigated,
while minimising exposure to extraneous
or uncontrollable macroeconomic factors,
where possible. The strategy prioritises
mid-market assets, often supported by
government frameworks, and underpinned
by high credit quality counterparties.
In parallel with optimising the existing
portfolio, Amber continues to originate
and execute attractive new investments,
maintaining a disciplined approach to
capital allocation. This includes aligning all
opportunities with the Company’s objectives
of geographic diversification, long-term
value creation, and, where appropriate,
returning capital through share buybacks.
Amber and INPP also remain at the forefront
of evolving partnership models between
the public and private sectors, leveraging
their expertise to access opportunities in
the primary or early-mover stage where
value can be created ahead of asset
standardisation. This early access is a key
differentiator, enabling the Company to
secure attractive investments and sustain
long-term shareholder value.
The graphic below outlines Amber’s
ability to access early opportunities and is
considered a key differentiator in accessing
attractive investments for the Company.

UNITED KINGDOM
The environment in 2025 remained challenging from a macroeconomic perspective,
but infrastructure continued to stand out as a priority asset class for policymakers
and long-term capital. While economic growth was subdued and inflation
remained above target, government policy, institutional backing and public funding
commitments provided a supportive backdrop for infrastructure investment,
particularly in transport, energy transition and enabling networks
2
Monetary conditions eased over the course of the year as the Bank of England
responded to disinflation and weak growth, cutting the base rate to 3.75% by
December 2025
3
. Although financing costs remained elevated relative to historical
norms, the gradual easing in policy helped stabilise debt markets and reinforced
the relative attractiveness of infrastructure assets offering long-dated, inflation-linked
and resilient cashflows. UK inflation stood at 3.2% December 2025, maintaining the
importance of contractual indexation across regulated and availability-based assets
4
Government support for infrastructure remained strong. The 2025 Autumn Budget
included a commitment of c.£900m to complete the publicly funded works for the
Lower Thames Crossing, reinforcing the government’s willingness to take part in
nationally significant projects where delivery risk has historically constrained private
capital participation
5
. In addition, £100m of new capital funding for EV charging
infrastructure, alongside £100m of resource funding for local authorities and public
bodies, aimed to accelerate deployment and address bottlenecks in one of the UK’s
fastest-growing infrastructure sub-sectors
6
The National Wealth Fund continued to expand its role as a cornerstone investor
in UK infrastructure, increasing its focus on mobilising private capital into clean
energy, grid infrastructure and growth-enabling assets. Through co-investment, the
Fund played an increasingly important role in mitigating risk and improving project
bankability, particularly for capital-intensive or early-stage developments aligned with
the government’s industrial and net zero objectives
7
Looking ahead, the forthcoming 10-year National Infrastructure Strategy, expected
following the conclusion of the multi-year spending review, is anticipated to improve
pipeline visibility and reinforce long-term policy alignment
8
. While execution risks
remain, particularly around planning, grid capacity and supply-chain constraints,
the combination of easing monetary policy, sustained public sector support and
strong institutional demand positions UK infrastructure as a core allocation for
long-term investors

EUROPE (EXCLUDING UK)
Within the EU, political tensions and uneven economic performance have
persisted, with electoral results in several member states that have added
complexity to economic policymaking. While mainstream parties have
remained in power in many countries, populist and fringe parties have been
strong in recent elections, complicating policy consensus. In Germany and
France, the bloc’s largest two economies, governments are facing difficult
political and domestic pressures over structural reforms and investment
priorities, with fiscal strategies evolving in response to both internal political
dynamics and broader EU commitments, adding a layer of ambiguity to
medium-term policymaking
With an estimated growth of 1.4% in 2025, the European economy is
proving resilience despite the challenging global environment and the
headwinds caused by tariffs. As disposable household incomes rise,
government spending increases, financing conditions improve and foreign
demand rebounds, growth is expected to average 1.2% in 2026 and
1.4% in 2027 and 2028. Consequently, the average annual GDP growth
is projected to be 1.3% over the projection horizon in light of receding
uncertainty further supported by a resilient labour market, and fiscal stimulus
particularly in Germany, related to defence and infrastructure spending. In
addition, inflation is projected to decrease from 2.1% in 2025 to 1.9% in
2026 and 1.8% in 2027, before rising to the ECB’s target of 2% in 2028
9
Infrastructure investments in Europe have continuously benefited from
being supported by broader EU frameworks and initiatives, such as the
Connecting Europe Facility (‘CEF’). CEF programmes for energy, transport
and digital (totalling more than €33bn until 2027) and the availability of other
initiatives such as the €800bn Next Generation EU Recovery Fund or related
funds have further advanced the goal of building a ‘greener, more digital
and more resilient Europe’ as well as of achieving the EU’s decarbonisation
targets for 2030 and 2050
10
. As the Next Generation EU Recovery Fund
programme is scheduled to end in 2026, the aim is to strongly promote
the programme among the member states to ensure that the remaining
available funds of c.€300bn (as of June 2025) will be utilised, allowing the
programme to successfully conclude by the end of 2026, with an expected
positive impact on the EU economy in the coming years
11
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
Government investment will remain a key driver of private
infrastructure development in Australasia in 2026, with energy
and transport projects prioritised to support population growth,
strengthen economic resilience, and accelerate the transition to
net zero. Across both Australia and New Zealand, governments
continue to emphasise long-term infrastructure planning and
delivery, and a willingness to mobilise private capital to supplement
public balance sheets
In Australia, the five-year major public infrastructure pipeline
has grown by A$29bn to A$242bn over the last year, reversing
previous declines, largely driven by an increase in electricity
transmission and housing projects, with the transport sector
accounting for more than half of the total pipeline
12
. Renewable
energy projects continue to be a priority for both the public and
private sectors with A$163bn
13
of investment over the next five
years, with key projects currently under procurement including the
New England Renewable Energy Zone and VNI West. Preparations
for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games are also set to require near-
term investment across venues, precincts, and transport networks,
with PPPs being considered for key components
Australia’s economic outlook remains broadly positive with projected
GDP growth of 1.9% in 2026 and 2.0% in 2027
14
as resilient
consumer spending, business investment and public spending
continue to underpin activity
15
. Australia’s fundamentals remain
strong: the national balance sheet is well-positioned by international
standards, commodity prices remain supportive of the economy,
and the labour market is tight with unemployment near historical
lows
16
. Against this backdrop, a steady pipeline of infrastructure
investment opportunities is expected to persist, supported by
multi-year capital programmes at both federal and state levels
In New Zealand, the Government continues to emphasise the need
for private and foreign investment to help address an estimated
NZ$275bn infrastructure deficit, positioning New Zealand as
‘open for business’ and seeking continuity across election cycles
via a National Infrastructure Plan
17
, with bipartisan support. A
general election will be held in November 2026, potentially slowing
the procurement of new major infrastructure projects this year;
however, broad continuity in infrastructure policy is expected
The New Zealand Treasury forecasts real GDP growth of 1.7%
for 2025-26, rising to 3.4% in 2026/2027, and then around 2.5%
thereafter
18
, with economic growth supported by a low interest rate
environment, rising house prices and higher net migration
18
After a period of moderated economic activity in New Zealand,
early signs of stabilisation and recovery are emerging with
policymakers signalling an end to the interest rates easing cycle in
late 2025
19
. With excess capacity in the economy and conditions
in place for a cyclical recovery
20
, New Zealand remains well-
positioned for long-term infrastructure investment with a substantial
pipeline of government-backed projects, particularly across the
healthcare, education and transport sectors

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
From a cash flow perspective, the portfolio performed well during the year to 31 December
2025 with 100% of the investment portfolio’s overall forecast distributions having been
received (31 December 2024: 100%). Despite there being an outage, during the year on the
Beatrice OFTO, Ofgem determined that the fault was beyond the OFTO’s reasonable control
and, taking into account Beatrice OFTO’s actions in responding to and repairing the fault,
concluded that existing regulatory protections would be available such that Beatrice OFTO
would not be subject to any revenue loss for the impact of the offshore cable fault on
asset availability.
Infrastructure assets and businesses inherently involve health and safety risk both during
construction and once operational. The health and safety of clients, delivery partners,
employees and members of the public who come into contact with our assets is of the
utmost importance and, therefore, we accord the highest priority to health and safety.
TheAccident Frequency Rate (‘AFR’) of the Company’s underlying investment portfolio

APPROACH TO ASSET MANAGEMENT
Through the Investment Adviser, we actively manage the Company’s investments to maintain a high-performing portfolio, diversified by both
sector and geography, capable of delivering consistent returns to shareholders and providing sustainable contributions to local communities.
At the portfolio level, Amber has a highly skilled in-house team of over 50 individuals with decades of sector experience across the regions
where INPP operates. This global team is responsible for overseeing and optimising the Company’s investments, including through board
representation, as well as the provision of dedicated finance and legal staff, to ensure that the portfolio meets or exceeds performance
targets for the benefit of all stakeholders. The team’s proactive approach has played a crucial role in the Company’s success since its IPO in
2006 and has been instrumental in maintaining this success during periods of macroeconomic volatility.
CORPORATE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Unlike typical operating businesses, infrastructure concession-owning portfolio companies (such as PPPs and OFTOs) do not have their
own management teams and instead rely on third-party service providers for corporate management services typically covering contract
management, lender reporting, invoicing and accounting, cash management, tax compliance, and other corporate management functions.
These services are essential for delivering the forecast financial returns to the Company. These services are procured by, and charged to, the
relevant portfolio company, and are factored into the investment’s fair value.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Similar to facilities management, corporate management services are typically secured at the start of a project through a long-term contract,
helping to reduce future cash flow volatility. The scope and costs of these services are evaluated by the procuring authority as part of the
initial competitive project tender. Additionally, these arrangements undergo review, benchmarking, and assessment by the Board during the
investment decision process.
This proven asset management approach has consistently delivered effective oversight and operational efficiency, as demonstrated by the
swift resolution of the cable faults at EA1, and Beatrice OFTOs in recent years. When beneficial, the Board aims to leverage the broader
expertise and experience of the Amber Group to directly provide these services to portfolio companies

OPERATING REVIEW continUeD
active aSSet management CONTINUED
The Company’s PPP portfolio (accounting
for 35% of the portfolio by investment
fair value) is comprised of individual
concession-based investments where a
private sector entity is generally responsible
for designing, building, financing, operating
and maintaining a social infrastructure
facility typically in exchange for availability-
based revenues. These investments span
across education, healthcare, justice and
other social infrastructure sectors across
multiple jurisdictions including the UK,
Europe, Canada, North America, Australia
and NewZealand. The Company’s PPP
investments continue to meet key objectives,
including that facilities are available for use,
areas are safe and secure, and performance
standards outlined in the underlying
agreements are met. The Company’s
Investment Adviser has significant expertise in
this field and has overseen the majority of the
PPP projects in the Company’s portfolio since
their inception. For further information on the
PPPs that sit within our top 10 investments,
see pages 14 to 23.
Monitoring availability and performance
deductions serves as a vital KPI. While
deductions are typically transferred to
facilities management providers under
long-term fixed price contracts, the
Investment Adviser actively oversees
its subcontractors to optimise project
performance. During the year to
31 December 2025, the overall
availability of the Company’s PPP assets
was 99.8% (31 December 2024: 99.8%)
with performance deductions of only
0.3% (31 December 2024: 0.2%) both
of which were ahead of KPI targets and
demonstrate the high level of operational
performance achieved
The overall asset availability of 99.7%
for the year to 31 December 2025
(31 December 2024: 99.7%) reflects the
Company’s PPP projects as well as its
OFTO investments
During the year to 31 December 2025,
the Company’s Investment Adviser
oversaw the delivery of lifecycle works
(including repair, refurbishment, and
replacement works) totalling c.£108m on
behalf of public sector clients. This work
ensures the facilities continue to perform
in line with the contractual requirements
for the relevant public sector clients
The Company’s public sector clients
initiated over 1,400 contract variations
during the year, amounting to c.£22.4m
in value. These variations range from
minor adjustments and renovations to
substantial upgrades and expansions,
and help ensure the facilities continue
to meet clients’ needs

OTHER KEY UPDATES
ASSET HAND-BACK
The transfer, or ‘hand-back’, of the PPP
assets and the associated services to the
public sector clients continues to be an
important area of focus as the Company’s
PPP portfolio matures. The Investment
Adviser proactively monitors asset
condition, maintenance and lifecycle works
to ensure the assets will meet the necessary
criteria for hand-back. Where an asset’s
condition does not meet the necessary
criteria, the PPP company must undertake
remedial works. The risk associated with
the costs of these works are generally
contractually passed to subcontractors.
This proactive approach aims to facilitate
an efficient and seamless transfer to the
relevant public sector counterparty.
The Investment Adviser is a leading
contributor to the National Infrastructure
and Service Transformation Authority
(‘NISTA’) working groups which aim to
provide guidance and greater certainty
to the public and private sector in the UK
in relation to how hand-back should be
delivered to ensure a consistent approach
is adopted across the sector.
Following the expiry of INPP’s first two PPP
concessions, Bootle (a HMRC tax office) in
2024 and Hereford and Worcester Courts
(‘H&W’) in Q3 2025, INPP has received
positive feedback from the public sector
counterparties and their advisers in respect
of: how the expiry process was managed;
the outcomes delivered; and the partnering
approach taken. In each case the expiry
processes proceeded in line with INPP’s
expectations.
The expiry dates for the remainder of the
Company’s PPP concessions span the next
25 years, and in line with NISTA guidance
hand-back activities are underway for all
PPPs which are due to expire in seven years
or less. The next PPP scheme to be handed
back is the Strathclyde Police Training
Facility; this is scheduled to take place at
the end of Q3 2026 and necessary activities
are proceeding in line with expectations
with a programme of agreed hand-back
related works to be delivered prior to the
expiry date.
THE REVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
The Amber Asset Management team is
pleased to be working with the facilities
management sector to incorporate new
technologies into processes and initiatives,
as they evolve. One key example is the use
of drones. The Royal Children’s Hospital in
Melbourne, Australia was the first hospital
worldwide to host a KTV window-washing
drone demonstration. This technology is
now being considered for wider adoption
to make cleaning at height faster, safer,
and more efficient. Using purified water at
high pressure, drones can access hard-to-
reach, high-level areas without the need
for working at height, reducing both risk
and water consumption while delivering
a spotless finish. Companies such as
OCS and Equans are already using this
technology and are exploring its introduction
across INPP projects.
The Royal Children’s Hospital project, which
involved the design, construction, facilities
management, and financing of the hospital
has the capacity to treat over 593,000
patients per year.
In addition to cleaning applications, drone
roofing surveys are also being introduced.
The use of remotely piloted aircraft
systems allows access to roof areas that
are otherwise difficult to inspect, enabling
detailed condition assessments of roofs
and roof-mounted plant and equipment
without the need for cranes, scaffolding,
or other access equipment. This approach
significantly reduces the risks associated
with working at height while improving
efficiency and data accuracy. Drone surveys
have recently been carried out across
several INPP assets, including Moray
schools, Northampton schools, Tower
Hamlets schools, and Wolverhampton BSF.

half its capacity after having suffered an
offshore cable fault in Q2 2025. Due to the
efforts of the Investment Adviser’s asset
management team, the repair works were
completed and the OFTO returned to full
service at the start of Q3 2025. Post year-
end, Ofgem determined that the fault was
beyond the OFTO’s reasonable control
and, taking into account Beatrice OFTO’s
actions in responding to and repairing the
fault, concluded that existing regulatory
protections would be available such that
Beatrice OFTO would not be subject to any
revenue loss for the impact of the offshore
cable fault. Accordingly, paid availability
for the OFTO portfolio during the year
was 99.6% which is above the licence
target of 98.0%. The rest of the OFTO
portfolio performed in line with expectations
during the year. Further information of the
performance can be seen in the Top 10
Investments section on pages 14 to 23.
The Ofgem consultation process regarding
the potential regulatory developments
underpinning an extension of the OFTO
revenue stream is ongoing. This confirmed
Ofgem’s overarching objective is to
maximise the combined operational lifetimes
of both generation and transmission assets
where it is economic and efficient to do so.
Ofgem expects incumbent OFTOs to be
best positioned to operate transmission
assets in an extension period with its
preferred approach being to promote
bilateral negotiation with the incumbent
OFTO when setting any extension
revenue stream.
CADENT
1
In December 2025, Ofgem published
its RIIO-3 Final Determination (‘FD’) for
Cadent
2
, which sets out its allowed
revenues, investment allowances,
obligations, and performance requirements
for the 2026-2031 price control period.
Overall, the FD represents a more
favourable position than Ofgem’s draft
proposals and provides Cadent with
higher and more workable allowances
than previously anticipated.
After careful deliberation and consultation
with its shareholders (of which the Company
is one), Cadent has decided to seek an
independent review of certain aspects of
the FD by the Competition and Markets
Authority (‘CMA’). It is understood that
Cadent’s approach is in line with the steps
taken by other gas distribution network
owners. The CMAs review will commence
in Q3 2026 and their initial findings are
expected to be announced later in 2026.
The Company’s cash flow forecasts used
for the purpose of determining the year-end
valuation reflect the FD issued by Ofgem
in December 2025, and does not consider
any benefits arising from a successful
CMAappeal.
Cadent continues to support the UK
Government in meeting its net zero
target. The transition to net zero will
change the role of the gas network over
time as consumers gradually shift their
consumption to lower carbon alternatives
such as renewable electricity and hydrogen
alongside an expected move away from
natural gas. Cadent will play a critical role
in energy decarbonisation in the UK by,
(i)continuing to safely and reliably provide
gas and thereby facilitate the increased
use of cleaner albeit more intermittent
technologies, (ii) driving reductions in
emissions while customers still need gas,
and (iii) converting and developing the
network to enable the distribution of cleaner
fuels such as hydrogen to where it is
needed when customers are ready.

TIDEWAY

In February 2025, the ‘super sewer’
became fully connected and capable of
preventing sewage spills that would have
otherwise polluted the River Thames,
dramatically improving the water quality of
the river. Data shows that by March 2026,
the system has diverted over 19m tonnes
of sewage from entering the river
4
, the
equivalent of five Wembley Stadiums.
Commissioning, which includes the storm
testing phase of the project, is currently
underway and management target
handover of the tunnel to Thames Water
inthe first half of 2026.
While the tunnel is operational and
functional, above ground work continues.
This is mainly focused on activities
such as the commissioning of the new
public spaces along the river, as well as
reinstatement work relating to former
Tideway construction sites. There is
also work relating to the ongoing testing
and commissioning period, in particular
to address any issues as the tunnel is
subjected to different operating conditions
for the first time, none of which are
considered by management to be material.
In June 2025, Tideway became the first
corporate to issue a ‘Blue Bond’ in the
UK. A Blue Bond is a debt instrument that
national governments, development banks
and corporations issue to raise finance
for marine and ocean-based projects that
have long-term sustainability objectives
and benefits. They can be used to finance
projects with adaptation benefits, such as
the restoration of mangrove forests (which
also has mitigation benefits), the expansion
of marine protected areas, improved water
management, and flood risk reduction. Blue
Bonds are a subset of the better-known
Green Bonds, which are specifically targeted
at projects that benefit seas and marine
environments. Tideway was also one of the
first UK corporates to issue Green Bonds
when the project was in its initial stages.
Tideway continues to monitor developments
in relation to the well-publicised financial
position of Thames Water. The matter is not
expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s investment in Tideway.

OPERATING REVIEW continUeD
active aSSet management CONTINUED
The Company invests in a number of
operating businesses, including Angel
Trains, BeNEX and digital infrastructure
businesses (together accounting for 12% of
the portfolio by investment fair value).
The Investment Adviser holds a board
position on each of these operating
businesses and it is through these
positions that the Company engages in
the governance of these investments. This
engagement includes seeking to ensure
effective risk management and driving
the overall financial, operational and ESG
performance of its investments.
ANGEL TRAINS
During the year to 31 December 2025, Angel
Trains continued to perform well with its trains
on lease to TOCs across the UK as planned.
As detailed in the Company’s Interim Report
for the six months to 30 June 2025, INPP
disposed of part of its investment in Angel
Trains in August 2025, realising c.£32m of
proceeds, with the sale price being at an
attractive premium to the 30 June 2025
valuation. The sale supports the Company’s
buyback programme and future investment
commitments. INPP has retained access
to board representation through the
Investment Adviser.
It remains the UK’s Labour government’s
intention to establish Great British Railways
as the ‘directing mind’ for the rail sector and
in November 2025 it published the Railways
Bill, the legislation that will enable this. While
the implications of industry reform remain
to be seen, the government has previously
stated it has “no plans to change the way
rolling stock is leased”.
BENEX
In June 2023, a subsidised monthly regional
public transportation ticket was introduced
known as the ‘Deutschlandticket’, for an
initial period of two years. During 2025,
the legislative process for safeguarding
the ‘Deutschlandticket’ had been well
underway. From 2027 onwards, index-
based price updates will be introduced,
which will take account of cost increases
around wage and energy costs. While the
price index discussion is scheduled for the
second quarter of 2026, this effectively
extends the ‘Deutschlandticket’ at least
until 2030. The resulting increased demand
for regional transport should, among other
things, help to reduce emissions as well as
provide greater opportunities for BeNEX
going forward.
Over the course of 2025, BeNEX and its
TOCs participated successfully in several
concession tenders. BeNEX was awarded
a new concession (RE34) which, over a
term of 14 years, enables the redeployment
of a partial fleet of EMUs to operate 1.7m
train km p.a. in Western Germany. While the
formal award of another new concession
was still pending at the end of 2025,
important concessions were also re-won.
These include concessions like Net Mid
(up to 3.1m train km p.a.) and HUG, (6.5m
train km p.a.), which is an equally important
success for BeNEX. Moreover, the start
of operations between Regensburg and
Nuremberg (RDO concession) with 23 new
Siemens EMUs was managed successfully,
providing high quality services to the
passengers in the wider metropolitan area
of Munich including the Munich Airport,
that resulted in higher passenger numbers
than expected. These operational and
tender successes not only contribute to a
sustainable, diversified and stable portfolio
as well as beneficial returns, but also
strengthen the relationships with PTAs and
thus contribute to risk mitigation. The post-
merger integration of the Abellio Germany
activities, which were acquired in 2024,
has been well under way, with progress
ahead of plan and identification of higher
than anticipated synergies. In total, BeNEX
will operate 15 concessions in 14 of the 16
German federal states, with a total volume
of c.67m train km, p.a., strengthening its
position as one of the largest passenger
rail operators in Germany by service
volume. Overall, BeNEX looks back on
another successful year and sees itself
well positioned for further successes in
the coming years.
DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Through the Amber-managed National
Digital Infrastructure Fund (‘NDIF’), the
Company has interests in two remaining
digital assets, toob and Community Fibre.
toob is a fibre-to-the-premise network
operator which has built its own network
principally across Southampton and
other towns in the South of England,
covering c.300,000 premises with over
121,000 connected customers. The
business achieved EBITDA positive
status in September 2025, a significant
milestone that demonstrates the strength
of its customer proposition. During Q1
2026, the Company committed a further
c.£8.8m of equity to support the business
through to operating cash flow positivity,
which is forecast for H1 2027. This
additional investment reflects the ongoing
funding requirements of the business as
it navigates a competitive UK broadband
market, characterised by pricing pressures
from incumbent operators and broader
sector headwinds that have impacted
altnets across the market. The valuation
assumptions and underlying business
plan have been updated to reflect these
challenging current market conditions.
Community Fibre remains London’s largest
100% full fibre broadband provider and
continues to make strong progress and has
now passed c.1.5m homes and businesses
with fibre and has over 430,000 customers.
The business is EBITDA positive and is
forecast to be operating cash flow positive
in H1 2026.
Both toob and Community Fibre have
materially completed their network build
programmes, with ongoing build activity
focused on infill and densification at low
incremental cost. The Company’s total
exposure to digital infrastructure remains
below 2% of NAV.

eFFicient Financial management
The Company aims to manage its finances efficiently in order to provide financial flexibility whilst minimising levels of unutilised cash
holdings. This is achieved through actively monitoring cash held and generated from operations, ensuring cash covered dividends and
managed levels of corporate costs, and is supported by appropriate hedging strategies and prudent use of the Company’s CDF.
DIVIDENDS
During the year, the Company paid dividends of £156.3m (2024: £156.8m)
Cash dividends were fully covered: 1.1 times (2024: 1.1 times) by the Company’s net
operating cash flows before capital activity* (excluding cash from realisation activity).
Some movement in the level of coverage from period to period can be expected due
to the profile of projected distribution receipts from the portfolio over time, and are not
necessarily a reflection of changes in the level of asset performance
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Cash receipts from the investment portfolio were £297.7m in the year (2024: £359.9m).
This includes cash received from realisation activity of £87.4m
Profit before tax of £263.9m was reported (2024: £0.5m). The movement in profit in
the year is principally reflective of the unrealised fair value movements of the investment
portfolio in the period. Further information is available on page 47
The Company’s cash balance as at 31 December 2025 was £54.5m, held to service ongoing
costs, share buybacks and upcoming dividend payments (31 December 2024: £76.5m)
£47.3m was invested during the year (2024: £107.8m). This includes previously
committed investments as well as new investments, as detailed on pages 26 to 30 and
note 12 of the financial statements
The Company has access to a £300m debt facility, which was renewed during the year
and remains available until April 2028. There were no cash drawings under the Company’s
CDF during the year, with £249m committed by way of letters of credit under the facility
as at the year end. Of this committed balance, £219m was issued as letters of credit to
support the Company’s financial obligation to Sizewell C. As previously announced, the
facility is not expected to be required to cash drawn to fund the investment
Net financing costs paid were £4.4m, (2024: £3.2m) reflecting the level of utilisation of the
Company’s CDF during the year
During the year, the Company bought back c.£77.4m
2
of shares. To date over £135m of
shares have been acquired, generating 1.6p per share of NAV accretion
The current programme of up to £225m is expected to run until 31 March 2027. It is
intended that the return of capital will be funded by a combination of divestments and
surplus operating cash flow generated. While it is expected that the programme may be
delivered through share buybacks, other forms of capital returns may also be considered.

inveStor retUrnS
The Company aims to provide its investors with stable, long-term, inflation-linked returns, based on growing dividends and the potential for
capital appreciation.
TSR* AND NAV TOTAL RETURN
Since IPO to 31 December 2025, the Company has delivered an annualised NAV total return of 7.2% (31 December 2024: 7.0%),
reflecting the change in NAV per share plus dividends paid. Over the same period, the annualised total shareholder return was 6.3%
(31 December 2024: 6.1%). In March 2024, the Board published a dynamic target return framework to better enable stakeholders to
understand how it assesses the relative attractiveness of new investment opportunities. This framework demonstrates how the Board
considers the impact of prevailing market and macroeconomic conditions at the time investment decisions are made. Under this framework,
the target return for any new investment is informed by several factors including: (i) the Company’s share price relative to its NAV, (ii) the
Company’s weighted average discount rate, and (iii) any pertinent economic or strategic considerations.
1 Calculated by running a ‘plus 1.0%’ inflation sensitivity for each investment and solving each investment’s discount rate to return the original valuation. The inflation-linked return is the
increase in the weighted average discount rate.
2 Future profit projection and dividends cannot be guaranteed. Projections are based on current estimates and may vary in future.
3 This is reflective of the 2025 and 2026 dividend targets, and 2.5% annual dividend growth thereafter.

INFLATION-LINKAGE
Inflation, particularly in the UK, remains above central bank target levels, although it has
been moderating and is expected to continue to trend downwards over the medium-term
in line with other developed markets. In an environment where investors are focused on
achieving long-term real rates of return on their investments, inflation protection remains an
important consideration for the Company. At 31 December 2025, the majority of assets in
the portfolio had a significant degree of inflation-linkage. In aggregate, the weighted average
return of the portfolio (before fund-level costs) would be expected to increase by 0.7% per
annum in response to a 1.0% per annum increase in all of the assumed inflation rates
(31 December 2024: 0.7%).
DIVIDEND GROWTH
The Company is pleased to have been recognised as a ‘Next Generation Dividend Hero’
by the AIC having delivered annual dividend growth of at least 2.5% since inception in 2006.
The Board is forecasting to continue its long-term projected annual dividend growth rate
of c.2.5% such that the 2026 and 2027 annual dividend targets are 8.79p per share and
9.01p per share
2
respectively. The target dividend growth rates are determined by taking into
account the Company’s ambitions to sustainably grow dividends over the long term whilst
providing full dividend cash coverage.
The Company reconfirms that the projected cash receipts from the Company’s portfolio are
such that even if no further investments are made, the Company currently expects
to be able to continue to meet its existing progressive dividend policy
3
for at least the next
25 years.
As previously reported, during the year, the Company increased the frequency of its dividend
payments, from semi-annually to quarterly, in order to provide investors with a more regular
income stream. The first interim dividend of 2.14p per share was paid on 15 September 2025,
followed by a second interim payment of 2.14p per share paid on 15 December 2025 and a
third interim payment of 2.15p per share paid on 16 March 2026. The final payment of 2.15p
per share is expected to be paid on 8 June 2026.

SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE
The Company has historically exhibited relatively low levels of correlation with the market. Correlation with the FTSE All Share Index
increased to 0.5 over the 12 months to 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: 0.4). Government bond yields, particularly in the UK,
rose sharply through the middle of the year before retracing in the weeks leading up to the UK Budget. Following the Budget, yields have
stabilised but remain sensitive to shifts in policy expectations and incoming macroeconomic data. Higher yields over the last three years have
placed downward pressure on share prices across the listed investment trust sector, contributing to the Company’s shares continuing to
trade at a discount to NAV during the year. Notwithstanding this backdrop, the Company’s share price continued to recover over the course
of the year, contributing to a narrowing of the discount to NAV and reflecting the positive impact of the active steps taken by the Board and
the Investment Adviser, alongside improving investor sentiment towards the Company and the sector.
The Board and the Investment Adviser continue to believe that the current share price materially undervalues the Company. Although
the drivers of the share price are principally exogenous factors unrelated to the performance of the Company’s assets, we recognise the
importance of taking action to support a narrowing of the discount and to restore value for shareholders. The need for, and scope of, such
action has been reinforced through direct and valuable engagement with shareholders during the year, and this feedback continues to shape
our approach. Our actions to date have been guided by the Company’s published capital allocation policy which the Board believes will
strengthen the Company’s position in the current environment and ensure it is well positioned for the longer term. Further information can
befound in the Chair’s Letter on pages 04 to 07.

inveStor retUrnS CONTINUED
The Company continued and
further expanded its share
buy back programme through
the year. While there was a
negative impact of £77.0m
on the NAV, the buyback
programme had a positive
impact on the NAV per share.
Short-term inflation assumptions
have been revised to reflect the
current environment, whilst the
Company’s long-term inflation
assumptions remain unchanged
with the exception of a modest
adjustment to the UK CPIH
incorporated as part of the June
2025 update. Further details of these
changes can be seen on page 49
and in aggregate these had a positive
£61.9m impact on the NAV.
Over the year, Sterling
weakened against the Euro,
Australian Dollar and Danish
Krone, while strengthening
against the Company’s other
foreign currency exposures.
After accounting for changes
in the value of forward foreign
exchange contracts, the net
impact on the NAV was a
positive £16.3m uplift.
The yields on the government bonds
used as part of the valuation process
increased from the last reported period,
resulting in a £35.3m reduction in
theNAV.

Among other factors, the NAV return of £198.0m reflects the impact of:
The unwinding of the discount rate;
Variances in actual macroeconomic factors compared to
previous assumptions;
Updates to operating assumptions based on current
cash flow forecasts;
Distributions received above forecast levels due to active
portfolio management;
Changes in the Company’s working capital position.
VALUATIONS
NAV MOVEMENTS
The negative impact of the increase in
government bond yields was largely offset by
a reduction in the investment risk premia to
ensure that the valuations continue to reflect
recent market-based evidence of pricing for
infrastructure investments.
In line with forward guidance provided
previously, cash dividends of 4.19p
per share was paid to the Company’s
shareholders during the period, in
relation to the six-month period ending
31 December 2024. Two further interim
dividends of 2.14p per share were paid in
September and December 2025.

PROJECTED INVESTMENT RECEIPTS AND NAV
The Company’s investments are generally expected to continue to deliver predictable distributions to the Company, owing to the principally
contracted or regulated nature of their underlying cash flows. As the Company has a high degree of visibility over the forecast cash flows
of its current investments, the chart below sets out the Company’s forecast investment receipts from its current portfolio before fund-level
costs
1
. The chart reflects the Company’s funded equity interest in Sizewell C as at 31 December 2025 and does not incorporate the full
commitment of capital or the future investment receipts expected to arise from that commitment over time.
The majority of the forecast investment receipts are in the form of dividends or interest and principal payments from equity or subordinated
debt investments respectively. The Company’s portfolio comprises both investments with finite lives (determined by concession or licence
terms) and perpetual investments that may be held for a much longer term. Over the term of investments with finite lives, the Company’s
receipts from these investments include a return of capital as well as income, and the fair values of such investments are expected to reduce
to zero over time.
In response to feedback from investors, the Board has sought to enhance the disclosure regarding the Company’s projected cash flows and
potential projected NAV. As set out in the chart below, the projected investment receipts from the current portfolio have been grouped into
those originating from PPP projects, regulated investments and operating businesses. The line in the chart below is an illustration of how
the NAV of the Company may evolve over time based on the current portfolio with other factors held constant. The impact of the Board’s
active capital recycling programme is also evident within the chart. While the Company’s current funded equity interest in Sizewell C remains
modest relative to the overall commitment at this stage, the projected NAV profile reflects the initial benefit of redeploying capital into this
opportunity. As the remaining committed capital is drawn over the coming years, the contribution from Sizewell C is expected to increase
and to support a further uplift in the projected NAV trajectory, reinforcing the Company’s long-term inflation-linked return profile.
The portfolio continues to be actively managed and, as a result, there will likely be future acquisitions and disposals made as part of the
Board’s capital allocation decisions, which will change the projected cash flows and NAV. Other factors, including but not limited to, changes
to the dividend policy, investment valuations, and the macroeconomic environment, may also influence the future cash flows and NAV.
The Board’s intention is that the provision of this information will provide shareholders with an understanding of both the source of the
Company’s projected investment receipts
1
as well as projected returns that may be available to investors over various time horizons.
Please note that projected returns cannot be guaranteed.

MACROECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS
The key macroeconomic assumptions used as the basis for deriving the Company’s investment valuations are summarised in the table
below, with further information provided in note 11 of the financial statements.
The Company reviews its macroeconomic assumptions on an ongoing basis. Over the period from December 2024 to December 2025,
updates to assumptions primarily reflect refinements to near-term inflation profiles across the Company’s core geographies, informed by
updated market data.
The most significant change during the year was a 25 basis point increase to the long-term UK CPIH assumption, implemented as part of
the June 2025 valuation process. This adjustment reflected the Company’s assessment that long-term UK inflation expectations had shifted
structurally higher, supported by market indicators and broader macroeconomic developments. No further changes to long-term inflation
assumptions were made in the second half of the year.
Long-term deposit rate and tax assumptions are unchanged from those applied at December 2024 and continue to reflect prevailing market
conditions and jurisdiction-specific frameworks, with the exception of the UK long-term deposit rate which has increased from 2.50% to
2.75%. Additionally, foreign exchange rates have been updated to reflect spot rates as at 31 December 2025.

DISCOUNT RATES
The discount rate used to value each investment comprises the appropriate long-term government bond yield plus an investment-specific
risk premium which reflects the risks and opportunities associated with that particular investment and is designed to ensure that the resulting
valuation reflects prevailing market conditions.
Long-term demand for high quality infrastructure assets remains strong, supported by continued interest in core contracted and regulated
assets and reflected in the gradual recovery in the Company’s share price over the year.
Over the year to 31 December 2025, the weighted average discount rate increased marginally from 9.0% to 9.1%. This movement was
driven primarily by the risk free rate, with the weighted average government bond yield increasing by 0.2% to 4.6%, reflecting the elevated
level of yields, particularly in long dated UK gilts. Capital recycling also influenced the portfolio mix, with proceeds redeployed from lower
returning assets into higher returning opportunities, although there has been no marked change in the overall risk profile of the portfolio.
The weighted average risk premium reduced modestly by 0.1% to 4.5%, with risk premiums remaining broadly consistent with those
applied at December 2024. INPP’s discount rates are informed by observable pricing evidence, and the Company believes this approach
appropriately reflects the realisable value of the portfolio, supported by its track record of achieving disposals at or above carrying value.
The Company’s approach to setting investment-specific risk premiums continues to be informed by its asset recycling activity and
observable market pricing. Transaction volumes remain below longer-term averages, but activity is beginning to pick up, and the Company
continues to participate actively where appropriate. Recent pricing evidence reinforces the Company’s disciplined and market-informed
approach to valuation and supports the appropriateness of the discount rates applied as at 31 December 2025.
For further information on the actions the Company is taking, please see the Chair’s Letter on pages 04 to 07.
The weighted average discount rate is presented in the table below.
31 December
2025
31 December
2024 Movement
Weighted average government bond yield 4.6% 4.4% 0.2%
Weighted average risk premium 4.5% 4.6% - 0.1%
Weighted average discount rate 9.1% 9.0% 0.1%
The approximate discount rate ranges used to determine the valuations of the investments which fall into each of the three sub-sectors, PPP
projects, regulated investments and operating businesses, are set out below.
31 December 2025 31 December 2024
PPPs
1
8.0% – 10.0% 8.0% – 10.0%
Regulated investments 9.0% – 12.0% 9.0% – 10.5%
Operating businesses 9.0% – 15.0% 9.0% – 15.0%
1 Gold Cost Light Rail – Stage 3, which is forecast to complete construction in 2026, is not included in the range on the basis that the Company’s investment has not yet been made in full.
The Company is aware that there are differences in approach to the valuation of investments among similar listed infrastructure funds. In
the Company’s view, comparisons of discount rates between different listed infrastructure funds are only meaningful if there is a comparable
level of confidence in the quality of forecast cash flows (i.e. assumptions are homogenous); the risk and return characteristics of different
investment portfolios are understood; and allowance is made for differences in the quality of asset management employed to manage risk
and deliver returns. Any focus on average discount rates without an assessment of these and other factors would be incomplete and could
therefore lead to misleading conclusions.
VALUATION SENSITIVITIES
Sensitivity analysis is provided as an indication of the potential impact of these assumptions on the NAV per share on the unlikely basis that
the changes occur uniformly across the remaining life of the portfolio. The movement in each assumption could be higher or lower than
presented. Further, forecasting the impact of these assumptions on the NAV in isolation cannot be relied on as an accurate guide to the
future performance of the Company as many other factors and variables will combine to determine what actual future returns are available.
These sensitivities should therefore be used only for general guidance and not as an accurate prediction of outcomes. Further details can be
found in note 11.5 of the financial statements.
International Public Partnerships Limited
Annual Report and financial statements 2025
50
DISCOUNT RATES
The chart above indicates the sensitivity of the NAV per share to
uniform changes to the discount rates applied to the forecast cash
flows from each individual investment.
INFLATION
The impact of inflation on the value of each investment depends
upon the extent to which the revenues and costs of that particular
investment are linked to an inflation index. On a portfolio basis, there
is a positive correlation to inflation with a 1.00% sustained increase
in the assumed inflation rates projected to generate a 0.7% increase
in returns (31 December 2024: 0.7%). The returns generated by the
Company’s non-UK investments are typically linked to the relevant
CPI for that jurisdiction whilst the Company’s UK investments are
typically linked to variations of the RPI or the CPIH.
In anticipation of the UK Government’s previously announced
intention to align the RPI to the CPIH from 2030 onwards, the
inflation assumption used for UK investments which are currently
linked to the RPI and do not benefit from protective contractual
agreements or regulatory precedents, was previously adjusted to
align with the Company’s CPIH assumption from 2030. For the
avoidance of doubt, the impact of this approach on the NAV is
negligible. Furthermore, the inflation sensitivities by geographical
region are provided in note 11.5 of the financial statements.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
The Company has a geographically diverse portfolio and forecast
cash flows from investments are subject to foreign exchange rate
risk in relation to Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Danish Krone,
Euros, New Zealand Dollars and US Dollars. The Company seeks to
mitigate the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on near-term
cash flows by entering into forward contracts, but the Company
does not hedge exposure to foreign exchange rate risk on long-term
cash flows. The impact of a 10% increase or decrease in these rates
is provided for illustration.
DEPOSIT RATES
The long-term weighted average deposit rate assumption across
the portfolio is 2.50% per annum. While operating cash balances
tend to be low given the structured nature of the investments,
project finance structures typically include reserve accounts to
mitigate certain costs and therefore variations to deposit rates may
impact valuations. The impact of a 1.00% increase or decrease in
these rates is provided for illustration.
TAX RATES
Post-tax investment cash inflows are impacted by tax rates
across all relevant jurisdictions. The impact of a 1.00% increase or
decrease in these rates is provided for illustration. Other potential
tax changes are not covered by this scenario.
LIFECYCLE SPEND
There is a process of renewal required to keep physical assets fit
for use and the proportion of total cost that represents this ‘lifecycle
spend’ will depend on the nature of the asset.
PPPs will typically need to ensure that the assets are kept at the
standard required of them under agreements with relevant public
sector counterparties. To enhance the certainty around cash
flows, the majority of the Company’s PPP investments, and all of
the Company’s OFTO investments, are currently structured such
that lifecycle cost risk is taken by a subcontractor for a fixed price
(isolating equity investors from such downside risk). As a result, the
impact of changes to the forecast lifecycle costs for the Company’s
PPP investments is relatively small.
The Company’s investments in rolling stock leasing or operating
businesses, or businesses providing digital infrastructure, are also
distinct from PPPs which have fixed revenue streams from which
they need to pay lifecycle costs. These businesses will still expect to
incur lifecycle costs but will typically aim to recover any changes in
lifecycle costs over time through the prices they charge their
end-users.
Tideway and Cadent are treated differently due to the protections
offered by the regulatory regimes under which they operate.
Regulated assets have their revenues determined for a known
regulatory period and each settlement includes revenue sufficient
to allow the owner to undertake the efficient lifecycle management
of its assets due in that regulatory period. It is common practice
to employ reputable subcontractors to undertake lifecycle work
under contracts which include incentive and penalty regimes aligned
with the businesses’ regulatory targets. This approach ensures
an alignment of interest and helps to mitigate the risk of increased
lifecycle costs falling on the equity investor. Accordingly, no lifecycle
sensitivity has been run in respect of the Company’s investments in
Tideway and Cadent.
The impact of a 10% increase or decrease in the lifecycle costs
incurred by the Company’s PPPs, OFTOs, rolling stock leasing or
operating businesses is provided for illustration.

MESSAGE FROM THE ESG
COMMITTEE CHAIR
As Chair of the Company’s ESG
Committee, I am pleased to report
the Company’s continued positive
sustainability-related performance
during the year.
Throughout the year, we have
continued to embed ESG
considerations across investment
decisions, asset management and
stakeholder engagement, ensuring
that sustainability remains integral
to the Company’s strategy and
long-term resilience. The Board
recognises the many ways the
Company’s assets, and the ways
they operate, improve lives for
the communities served. We are
pleased to play our part what is
a multistakeholder effort to keep
communities educated, safe,
healthy and connected.
The Company has disclosed a selection of
data within this Annual Report for reference,
but would encourage shareholders to
review its latest Sustainability Report which
provides greater detail around our approach
to responsible investment as well as further
information on the following areas of
development during the year:
SIZEWELL C
The Company’s investment into Sizewell
C has been a highlight from an ESG
perspective, given its positive environmental
and social characteristics and our purpose
to invest responsibly in public infrastructure
that delivers long-term benefits to
stakeholders. The expected c.3.2GW of
reliable baseload low-carbon electricity that
Sizewell C will produce will play a critical
role in decarbonising the UK’s electricity
supply as well as strengthening national
energy security and supporting c.8,000
direct jobs at peak construction. Further
information can be found in the Case Study
on pages 24 to 25.
The Investment Adviser undertook ESG
due diligence to assess the ESG risks
and opportunities of the construction
and operation of Sizewell C against the
Company’s ESG Policy and approach
to responsible investment. This included
review of the extensive mitigation measures
put in place, from the targeted 19%
net increase in biodiversity through the
construction phase to the rigorous climate
risk assessment and resilience plan put in
place by Sizewell C.
Ongoing ESG performance during the
construction stage will be monitored
through INPP’s established data collection
and quantification processes and Sizewell C
is included in our ESG disclosures and KPIs
for the year.

CLIMATE RISK
During the year, the Investment Adviser
worked with catastrophe model providers
Moody’s RMS™ to refresh the Company’s
quantitative physical climate risk screening
across the portfolio. This included the
application of updated climate models and
hazard datasets, with increased location
granularity to improve the precision and
relevance of asset-level risk analysis. The
enhanced methodology enables a more
detailed assessment of exposure to key
physical climate hazards, including acute
and chronic risks, across different climate
scenarios and time horizons. The results
of the refreshed assessment continued to
demonstrate that, whilst the Company’s
investments are exposed to physical climate
hazards of varying types and severity, the
vast majority were assessed as extremely
low or very low risk. Where relevant risks
have been identified, the Investment Adviser
will continue to implement mitigation
measures as appropriate to ensure
continued operational resilience. In addition,
the Investment Adviser will put potential
investments through the physical climate
risk screening tool during the ESG Due
Diligence stage where possible.
NET ZERO
Making progress against the two net zero
KPIs continues to be a core focus of our
investment engagement activities. The
Investment Adviser has worked with several
of our investments to fully baseline their
activities and to identify and implement
initiatives to meet the Net Zero Investment
Framework (‘NZIF’) criteria where possible.
During the year, the Investment Adviser
worked with BeNEX to implement the
actions under the Net Zero Ready KPI and
to ensure alignment with NZIF wherever
possible. This initiative included the
development of a Net Zero Policy in support
of decarbonising rail transport in Germany
and the forecasting of its ToC GHG
emissions out to 2050. This engagement
is detailed in a case study in section 3.2 of
the Sustainability Report.
Through the Investment Adviser’s
engagement activities, the Company has
continued to make measurable progress
against its net zero KPIs, as set out in the
INPP ESG KPI section below and in section
4.4 of the Sustainability Report.
NEXT STEPS
As we take this work forward, we will
continue to place the interests of our
stakeholders at the centre of our decisions
and our approach to stewardship. I thank
the Investment Adviser for their continued
focus and commitment, and we look
forward to ongoing engagement with
shareholders in the year ahead.

APPROACH TO RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT DISCLOSURES
As stated above, the Company believes its investments have positive environmental and social characteristics, as per its categorisation
as an Article 8 Financial Product (‘FP’) The following data has been collected to enable the Company to better assess and monitor its
environmental and social impacts and identify associated risks and opportunities. It is intended that this data will assist the Company’s
shareholders to meet their own regulatory requirements. For more detail on the Company’s approach to responsible investment, please refer
to the latest edition of the Company’s Sustainability Report. Please refer to pages 129 to 137 for the Company’s SFDR periodic report to
meet its reporting requirements under Article 11 of the SFDR.
APPLICATION OF SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORKS
Part of the process for data selection involves using international sustainability frameworks and reporting standards as a guidance. There are
several frameworks with which the Company aligns partially (i.e. we use the framework as a starting point from which to develop accounting
practices) or fully (i.e. we fully comply with the framework requirements). These are summarised below.
1 PCAF (2025). The Global GHG
Accounting and Reporting Standard
Part A: Financed Emissions. Third
Edition.
2 Data coverage: 98% of portfolio based
on fair value as at 31 December 2025.
The SFDR requires financial
market participants (‘FMPs’)
that market an FP into an
EU state to comply with
the disclosure of ESG-
related information. As the
Company qualifies as an
internally managed Alternative
Investment Fund (‘AIF’)
pursuant to the Alternative
Investment Fund Managers
Directive (‘AIFMD’), it is an
FMP for the purposes of
SFDR. By marketing itself to
EU countries, the Company
is deemed to be marketing
an FP, given that it is itself an
AIF. Therefore, INPP meets the
two-pronged test of the SFDR.
Please refer to the Annex of
this Report for the Company’s
second periodic disclosure.
The European Commission
is currently consulting on
significant proposed changes
to the regulation, and the
Company is monitoring these
developments in terms of
potential implications for its
classification and disclosures.
SFDR
The Company’s financed
emissions have been
quantified in accordance
with the Partnership for
Carbon Accounting Financials
(‘PCAF’) Financed Emissions
Standard
1
, which aligns with
GHG disclosures set out in
the SFDR Principal Adverse
Impacts (‘PAIs’) as well as
the TCFD’s recommended
metrics for asset managers.
This includes the disclosure
of investments-level Scope 1
and 2 emissions and material
Scope 3 emissions

The Company is aware of
the transitional and physical
impacts of climate change on
the resilience of our business.
As a closed-ended investment
company, the Company is
not required to comply with
LR 9.8.6R(8) and, therefore,
is not required to issue a
statement of compliance with
TCFD. However, the Company
has continued to voluntarily
report in line with TCFD, with
a summary included on pages
58 to 59 and the detailed
reporting included in the
Company’s latest Sustainability
Report. By endorsing and
aligning its practices with the
TCFD recommendations, the
Company has crystallised its
understanding and disclosure
of climate-related risks and
opportunities. The Company’s
TCFD implementation is
integrated into the Company’s
strategy, risk management,
governance practices and
reporting.
TCFD
The Company supports the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development adopted by the
UN Member States in 2015.
Alignment with the SDGs is
a key part of the Company’s
approach to ESG integration
and it contributes towards the
SDGs in two main ways: the
positive environmental and
social characteristics of its
investments and its approach
to active asset management.
For more information
regarding the Company’s
Investment Adviser’s work
with the SDGs, see Section1
of the Company’s latest
Sustainability Report.
SDGs
SDR
The Company has opted to voluntarily disclose under the SDR as a product that has sustainability characteristics but does not use any of
the sustainability investment labels. Accordingly, INPP has made available certain disclosures in accordance with chapters 5.2 and 5.3 of
the FCAs ESG Sourcebook, which can be found on the Company’s website (https://www.internationalpublicpartnerships.com/responsible-
investment/approach/).
OTHER ESG FRAMEWORKS
In addition, the Company will continue to monitor other recently implemented and developing ESG frameworks closely, including the scope
and applicability of the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation’s International Sustainability Standards Board (‘ISSB’) and its
integration as part of the UK’s SRS. The Conduct Authority (‘FCA’) is currently consulting on whether the current TCFD-aligned listing rules
should be replaced by these standards, and the Company will review the outcomes of this consultation once concluded.
The Company aims to align its disclosures with ESG frameworks on a voluntary basis if it will enhance the quality of its reporting and provide
stakeholders with valuable information.

INPP ESG KPIS
The Company established a number of new KPIs in March 2024, including Pathway to Net Zero, EU Taxonomy, Environmental, Social,
Climate risk and Governance KPIs. This suite of KPIs enables the Company to monitor performance across key environmental, social, and
governance aspects, and provide stakeholders with valuable insights into the ongoing progression of its sustainability approach.
Throughout the year, the Investment Adviser engaged with investments to identify and implement initiatives to drive performance in relation
to the Company’s KPIs. The two Pathway to Net Zero KPIs have been a particular focus, given the scale and complexity of transitioning to
net zero, with our initiatives leading to an 8% increase in performance against the Net Zero Ready KPI.
For the 2025 Principles for Responsible Investment (‘PRI’) assessment, the Company’s Investment Adviser received the highest rating for the
fourth assessment in a row, receiving five-stars for both the Investment and Stewardship Policy and the Infrastructure modules.

SUSTAINABLE FINANCE DISCLOSURE REGULATION
APPROACH
The Company satisfies the threshold criteria set out in the SFDR and, therefore, has obligations under the SFDR. As part of these requirements,
the Company has categorised itself as an Article 8 FP which promotes, among other characteristics, environmental and social characteristics.
Through its investments in infrastructure that supports society, the Company promotes environmental and social characteristics but does not
have sustainable investment as its objective and does not invest in sustainable investments, as defined under the SFDR.
1 All ESG KPIs, with the exception of Investment Adviser PRI score, are weighted by fair value of investments and rounded to the nearest whole number.
2 KPIs apply to all investments where the Company has a majority equity investment, or a minority equity holding over £2m.
3 https://unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/mission/principles.
4 As of 31 December 2025, 31% of the portfolio based on fair value falls under the KPI 4.1 criteria for NZIF infrastructure. Alignment with NZIF criteria determined by the ability of the Company
to meet NZIF alignment criteria.
5 As of 31 December 2025, 69% of the portfolio based on fair value falls under the KPI 4.2 criteria for Net Zero Ready KPI. Alignment with Net Zero Ready KPI is determined by INPP
requirement to work with third-party stakeholders to meet NZIF Alignment Criteria.
6 Applies to operating companies within the portfolio, including: Cadent, Tideway, BeNEX, OFTOs, Sizewell C, Gold Coast Light Rail, Reliance Rail, Angel Trains, Community Fibre and toob.

Recommended disclosure Summary Section
Governance
a) Describe the Board’s
oversight of climate-related
risks and opportunities.
The Board sets the strategy for the Company and makes decisions on changes to
the portfolio (including approval of acquisitions, disposals and valuations). Through
Board committees and the advice of external independent advisers, it manages the
governance and risks of the Company. The Board has overall responsibility for ESG
considerations, including climate change, and ensuring they are integrated into the
Company’s investment strategy. This is achieved through the Company’s Audit and
Risk Committee, Management Engagement Committee and ESG Committee.
Sustainability
Report
Section 4.7
b) Describe management’s
role in assessing and
managing climate-related
risks and opportunities.
The Company’s Investment Adviser is responsible for implementing the Company’s
ESG policies into its activities on a day-to-day basis. This includes the integration of
ESG considerations through investment origination and ongoing management of the
Company’s Investments. The Board and the Investment Adviser meet on a quarterly
basis, during which they review the risks facing the Company, including risks related
to climate change. Sustainability considerations, including climate change, are also
included as regular topics for discussion at the Company’s annual strategy meetings.
Sustainability
Report
Section 4.7
Strategy
a) Describe the climate-
related risks and
opportunities the
organisation has identified
over the short, medium
and long-term.
The Company’s investments are exposed to physical and transitional climate change
risks. However, the Company has a high degree of protection due to the contracted
or regulated nature of its investments.
Flood, tropical cyclone, extreme wind and heat are the most important hazards for
the Company’s existing portfolio. Other hazards could affect particular assets, but
do not pose a widespread risk. Equally, the changes arising from a transition to a
low-carbon economy have the potential to be wide-ranging, including changes to
laws and regulations, adapting to the decarbonisation of heat, increased electrification
of transportation and other systems previously dependent on fossil fuels, and
decarbonisation of construction.
A transition to a low-carbon economy will continue to present infrastructure
investment opportunities that will be required if governments around the world are
to meet their legally binding commitments. As such the Company is well placed to
benefit from the transition to net zero as well as manage risks associated with it.
Sustainability
Report
Section 4.7
b) Describe the impact of
climate-related risks and
opportunities on the
organisation’s businesses,
strategy and financial
planning.
A large portion of the Company’s investments are availability-type assets where the
cash flows are based on making the assets available in a pre-agreed manner. The
cash flows from such investments are largely insulated from changes to the physical
risks of climate change and the net zero transition.
Sustainability
Report
Section 4.7
c) Describe the resilience of
the organisation’s strategy,
taking into consideration
different climate-related
scenarios, including a
2°Cor lower scenario.
The portfolio-level findings of the climate change impact assessment, including
scenario analysis, demonstrate that the Company’s strategy is resilient to both
physical and transition risks associated with climate change. The Company believes
it is well placed to benefit from the transition to net zero, as infrastructure will play a
leading role in decarbonising the global economy.

The Board recognises the importance of identifying and actively monitoring the
risk facing the business. The Company considers climate risk in line with its risk
management framework for identifying, evaluating and managing significant risks
faced by the Company.
Sustainability
Report
Section 4.7
b) Describe the organisation’s
processes for managing
climate-related risks.
Every climate-related risk identified through the screening process is assessed in
terms of probability of occurrence, potential impact on financial performance and any
movements in the relative significance of each risk between periods. The assessments
build on the wealth of knowledge acquired by the Company and Investment Adviser
through both bidding and asset management phases, with risk assessments carried
out to quantify and assess risks. The Company has developed a series of climate-risk
management actions to reduce financial risks across the portfolio.
Sustainability
Report
Section 4.7
c) Describe how processes
for identifying, assessing
and managing climate-
related risks are integrated
into the organisation’s
overall risk management.
The Company’s approach to climate-related risk management is implemented through
the following risk control processes, which is integrated throughout the investment
lifecycle: Risk Identification, Risk Assessment, Mitigation Plan, Risk Monitoring,
Reporting and Reassessment.
Sustainability
Report
Section 4.7
Metrics
a) Disclose the metrics used
by the organisation to
assess climate-related risks
and opportunities in line
with its strategy and risk
management process.
The Company takes a holistic view to determining climate risks and opportunities at
the in-vestment level. Whilst the Company is supportive of monitoring and reporting
emissions data, it also recognises that they do not always directly correlate with financial
risks to the Company. However, the quantification of the financed emissions of the
investment portfolio is important for the Company to help support its public sector
clients with investment-level decarbonisation initiatives. The Company has quantified
its Scope 3 emissions (i.e. the combined Scope 1, 2 and material Scope 3 emissions
of its investments), as per SFDR and PCAF guidelines. Through scenario analysis
conducted in 2022, the Company is continuing to explore options to embed physical
risk metrics across its risk management processes and will embed climate-related risks
and opportunities in line with its strategy. The Company also tracks a KPI aimed at
monitoring the initiatives implemented by investments to mitigate climate risks.
Sustainability
Report
Sections 4.3
and 4.7
b) Disclose Scope 1,
Scope 2 and, if
appropriate, Scope 3
GHG emissions, and
the related risks.
Due to the nature of its business, the Company has no Scope 1 or Scope 2
greenhouse gas emissions. As part of its focus on aligning investments with the
objectives of the Paris Agreement, the Company monitors its Scope 3 investment
emissions (financed emissions) across its portfolio and support decarbonisation
initiatives, where possible.
Sustainability
Report
Sections 4.3
and 4.7
c) Describe the targets used
by the organisation to
manage climate-related
risks and opportunities
and performance against
targets.
Through the investments that it makes, the Company is helping to support the shift
to net zero in the markets where it invests. This includes infrastructure that directly
enables net zero, such as the Company’s offshore wind electricity transmission assets
in the UK, or our passenger rail investments that provide low-carbon transport.
The Company has established portfolio-level KPIs for tracking the progress of its
investments on a pathway to net zero. These KPIs draw from the NZIF portfolio
coverage criteria and consider the varying levels of control that the Company has over
its investments, as well as the importance of collaboration with its public sector clients
to achieve emissions reductions.

RISK FRAMEWORK AND MANAGEMENT PROCESS
The Company has in place a risk management framework. The Board recognises the importance of identifying and actively monitoring the
risks facing the business. The framework involves an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing significant risks faced by the
Company which includes an assessment of longer-term and emerging risks. While responsibility for risk management ultimately rests with
the Board, the aim is for the risk management framework to be embedded as part of the everyday operations and culture of the Company
and its key advisers.
The risk framework is applied holistically across the Company and, to the extent possible, to the underlying investment portfolio as illustrated
in the Business Model on pages 10 to 11. The framework has been in place for the year under review and up to the date of approval of this
Annual Report and financial statements.
Direct communication between the Company and its Investment Adviser’s in-house asset management team is a key element in the effective
management of risks within the investment portfolio.
The Board continues to monitor the need for an internal audit function but believes the controls and assurance processes applied at the key
service providers, alongside the external controls process reviews performed annually, provide robust and sufficient assurance.

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE YEAR IN RELATION
TOPRINCIPALAND EMERGING RISKS
UK REGULATORY REGIME ANNOUNCEMENTS
As at 31 December 2025, the Company was invested in Cadent,
Tideway and 11 OFTOs, alongside the initial investment in
Sizewell C, all of which are regulated by independent statutory
economic regulators with different frameworks. These frameworks
are designed to, amongst other things, protect the interests of
consumers whilst ensuring that regulated companies can earn a
reasonable return on their capital. Investments in regulated assets
are considered long-term and therefore, investors typically look
beyond any individual regulatory cycle. However, changes in the
regulatory regimes have the potential to impact the returns of these
regulated assets.
Cadent is regulated by Ofgem under a licence to distribute gas
in certain UK regions, with revenues set through five-yearly
price reviews. During the year, Ofgem published its RIIO-3 Final
Determination for the 2026–2031 price control, setting out
Cadent’s allowed revenues, investment allowances, obligations and
performance requirements. The determination was broadly in line
with the Company’s expectations. Further details are set out on
page 38.
Tideway is regulated by Ofwat, Tideway’s licence provides it with
a fixed allowed return until 2030, after which, it will likely follow
a similar five-yearly price review process to which water and
wastewater companies are currently subject.
MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Inflation rates above the Bank of England’s target rate of 2%, and
corresponding higher levels of interest rates and government bond
yields, when compared to recent history, have the ability to impact
the Company in a variety of ways, including: the discount rates
applied to forecasted cash flows, deposit rates affecting the amount
of interest earned from cash held, and/or the cost of any new or
replacement debt that needs to be procured.
In the last two years, the Bank of England has lowered interest rates
but at a slower pace than many forecast. Whilst inflation in the UK
has stabilised, volatility still exists, and inflationary pressures remain
with the effects of both domestic and foreign policies extending the
possibility of further shocks.
Increased cash flows resulting from higher than forecast inflation and
greater interest earned from cash balances have played a mitigating
role in offsetting any potential discount rate valuation movements.
Due to the fixing or hedging of the vast majority of debt in the
portfolio, increases in the cost of debt have a limited impact
on current debt costs. Investments which do not have a pre-
determined concession term or licence period may contain an
element of refinancing exposure. Revenues for regulated assets are
frequently adjusted by the regulator to compensate for changes
in the market cost of debt, and other businesses which operate in
industries with high barriers to entry would typically expect to
be able to pass on a majority of changes in their cost base
to counterparties.
INVESTOR SENTIMENT
The listed alternatives investment company sector has continued to
be impacted by the challenging macroeconomic environment. The
impact is not unique to the infrastructure sector.
Fundraising activity has reduced and instead, many investment
companies have turned their focus from making new investments
to divestments and recycling the capital into share buybacks. In
addition to capital allocation measures being implemented, given
the environment we have seen an increase in merger activity and
acquisitions across the sector. The economic situation remains
volatile, and inflation is forecast to remain above the Bank of
England’s target rate of 2% in the near term. Please see further
information on pages 04 to 07 on how the Company is responding
to the current market environment. The initiatives described in the
Chair’s Letter, have been designed by the Board to deliver both
short-term and longer-term value to investors, and so to enhance
investor sentiment.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change remains a key focus of the Board, ensuring that
the Company continues to evolve its approach to considering both
the risks and opportunities it presents. Climate change would most
likely manifest itself through impact on physical assets (risk 4) and
changes in climate-related regulation (risk 9). Climate change is
therefore considered both as a current and emerging risk. Please
see more information from page 52 in this Report and in the
Company’s latest Sustainability Report.

GEOPOLITICAL EVENTS
Economies worldwide continue to be affected by geopolitical
disturbances including, the war in Ukraine, the US claims over
Greenland and most recently the rising conflict with Iran. Global
trade policies continue to be re-written by the Trump Administration
amid the latest round of global tariffs. These events can cause
significant volatility for markets which could impact the Company.
In particular, the introduction of further tariffs, blocking of sea
trade routes and the disruption to oil and gas production have the
potential to affect supply chains and increase prices. The ongoing
military conflicts may result in contagion bringing about further
disruption and crises in the regions culminating in further division
amongst political and economic blocs. Security of infrastructure
assets can be compromised as seen with damage to the Nord
Stream pipelines in 2022, alongside multiple instances of damage
to undersea cables in the Baltic region during 2023-2025.
Such events could lead to increased physical asset risk of the
Company’s investments.
The Company continues to actively monitor these events to ensure
that the portfolio of investments is protected, to the extent it can be,
from the direct and indirect impacts of the tariffs and conflicts. The
Company does not hold any investments in the impacted regions,
and we are not aware of any material direct implications for the
Company or its portfolio.
SIZEWELL C
The Company is now actively investing in Sizewell C, representing
a major milestone in the strategy to support essential, large
scale energy infrastructure. While a project of this magnitude
naturally carries distinct technical and delivery complexities, these
are carefully balanced by a bespoke regulatory framework and
significant government backing. The investment is underpinned by
the Regulated Asset Base model, as formalised through the Nuclear
Energy (Financing) Act 2022, which provides for stable revenue
generation even during the construction phase. This structural
protection is further enhanced by a comprehensive Government
Support Package, providing a robust layer of insulation against
the most significant project variances. Our focus remains on the
active management of this asset, working in close partnership with
the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to ensure the
project fulfils its critical role in the national energy mix while providing
resilient returns for our shareholders.
CYBER SECURITY
The cyber threat landscape remained dynamic during the year,
with heightened levels of disruption observed across a range of
sectors. The Company is exposed to cyber and information security
risks primarily through reliance on third-party service providers and
technology systems. The Company engages with key providers
on control assurance and maintains appropriate continuity and
escalation arrangements.
EMERGING RISKS
Other than the risks described above, no new material emerging
risks have been considered in these financial statements.

RISK ASSESSMENT
AGGREGATE RISK ASSESSMENT
The Company’s identified risks have been mapped to the five different risk categories: political, portfolio operations, macroeconomic,
regulation and compliance, and central operations.
The chart summarises the overall residual level of risk facing the Company, presenting a combined assessment which incorporates the
potential impact arising from not only the Company’s principal risks, but from all of the Company’s other identified risks:
Political risk incorporates risks arising from government policy and actions;
Portfolio operations risk incorporates risks arising from asset operations and ongoing investment performance, including regulatory risk
impacting at asset level;
Macroeconomic risk incorporates risks arising in the wider economy, including inflation and interest rates;
Regulation and compliance risk incorporates risks arising from new laws and regulations applicable to the Company and its assets; and
Central operations risk incorporates risks arising from the management of the portfolio.
The relative impact assessed to be arising from each risk has been combined to present a holistic position, giving stakeholders a more
complete picture of the Company’s residual risk position. Those risks of the Company which are assessed to be the principal risks are
separately identified, and further outlined overleaf.

POLITICAL
1. POLITICAL POLICY
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
The businesses in which the Company invests are
subject to potential changes in policy and legal
requirements. All investments have a public sector
infrastructure service aspect and are exposed to
political scrutiny and the potential for adverse public
sector or political criticism.
The majority of the Company’s existing investments benefit from long-
term service and asset availability-based pricing contracts or regulatory
frameworks. Governments tend to be long-term supporters of infrastructure
and similar investments, recognising the risk of deterring future investment.
The countries in which the Company operates do not tend to have a tradition
of penal retrospective legislation.
Change in Political Policy
Political policy and public financing decisions may
adversely impact either existing investments, or
the Company’s ability to source new investments
at attractive prices or at all. This may impact the
Company’s reputation.
Adverse changes to policies may directly, or indirectly,
result from reputational developments seen across the
wider sector.
Current global policy practice continues to support the use of private sector
capital to finance public infrastructure, despite challenge from some political
parties, around the role of the private sector in the provision of such services.
The Company seeks to maintain strong and positive relationships with its
public sector clients and external stakeholders where possible.
Termination of Contracts
Contracts between public sector bodies and the
Company’s investment entities may contain rights for
the public sector to terminate contracts in specific
situations. While the contracts typically provide for
some compensation in such cases, this may be less
than required to sustain the Company’s valuation.
There have been instances of contracts being
voluntarily terminated in the UK (although not affecting
the Company).
As PPP service concessions approach expiry there is
likely to be an increased level public sector scrutiny
over the hand-back of these assets.
The Company engages with its public sector clients in developing cost-
saving initiatives and seeks to act as a ‘good partner’, which includes a
focus on the ESG aspects of its investments and engaging early in the
hand-back process to ensure a smooth transition of services. None of the
Company’s investments have been identified, by any government audit or
public sector report, as poor value for money or not in the public interest.
The Investment Adviser is a signatory to the Code of Conduct for
Operational PFI/PPP contracts in the UK. The Code sets out the basis on
which public and private sector partners agree to work together to make
savings in operational PPP contracts.
Compensation on termination clauses within such contracts serve to
partially mitigate the risk of voluntary termination. Furthermore, where
voluntary termination leads to a requirement to pay compensation, this is
likely to represent an unattractive immediate call on the public finances.
Nationalisation
Nationalisation of infrastructure assets has become
a topical agenda item with the announcement to
bring train operating companies under government
control, alongside speculation over the future of water
companies. Ongoing longer-term political policy
pressures remain uncertain, so a residual possible risk
of nationalisation remains over the medium term.
The Company believes significant compensation would be required in order
to enact this policy legitimately within existing contractual arrangements.
Therefore, given the state of public finances, we maintain the view that the
Company is defensively positioned in this regard.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
This section provides a summary of the Board’s assessment of the Company’s principal risks. This is not intended to highlight all the
potential risks to the business. There may be other risks that are currently unknown or regarded as less material, which could turn out to
materially impact the performance of the Company, its assets, capital resources and reputation. Where the Company has applied mitigation
processes, it is unlikely that the techniques applied will fully mitigate the risk.

theBoards view on movement ofrisk exposures during
the year:

2. ASSET PERFORMANCE
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
Construction
For the Company’s assets under construction, there is an
element of construction risk that takes the form of cost overruns
or delays which could impact on investment returns. The
construction industry continues to be affected by geopolitical
events, which contain potential consequential impacts on
the Company.
Contractual mechanisms allow for significant pass-down of
construction cost overrun and delay risk to subcontractors and/
or consumers, subject to credit risk (see below). The Company’s
investment in Tideway benefits from a government support
mechanism which ultimately backstops investors’ downside
risk in the event of a major construction cost overrun. Tideway’s
major construction works were completed during 2024 and in
February 2025, Tideway announced that the tunnel was fully
connected, with the project on track to be fully operational (with
testing complete) later this year. The construction period of the
Company’s investment in Sizewell C is expected to last until the
late 2030s. The investment benefits from a Government Support
Package limiting the impact of downside scenarios.
Operational Performance
Assets in the portfolio have revenues which are based on the
availability of the asset, as well as revenues not solely dependent
on availability but with linkage to other factors including demand
risk or being subject to regulatory frameworks.
The entitlement of the Company’s PPP and OFTO investments
to receive revenues is generally dependent on underlying
physical assets remaining available for use and continuing to
meet certain performance standards. Failure to maintain assets
available for use or operating in accordance with pre-determined
performance standards may result in a reduction in the income
that the Company has projected to receive.
A number of investments in the portfolio are subject to regulatory
regimes which are designed by the regulators to, among
other things, protect the interests of consumers whilst ensuring
that regulated companies are able to earn a reasonable
return on their capital. Changes in the regulatory regimes
have the potential to impact the returns of the Company’s
regulated assets.
A number of investments in the portfolio assume residual
values which are expected to be received from the assets on
completion of the project contract or at the end of the expected
investment holding period. Amounts which are realised may be
different from current assumptions.
The Board reviews the performance of each investment on a
quarterly basis and historically has seen consistently high levels
of asset availability.
For regulated assets, the regulatory regimes under which the
assets operate provide a level of protection of cash flows for
these assets.
Contractual mechanisms and underlying regulatory frameworks
also allow for significant pass-down of unavailability and
performance risk to subcontractors in many cases, subject to
credit risk (see below).
In addition, investments in regulated assets are considered very
long-term by the Company, beyond any individual regulatory
cycle. This long-term view of such assets takes into account the
robustness of yield as well as the potential for increases in the
regulated asset base over time.
The Company, through its Investment Adviser, has sight of
detailed business continuity plans of its counterparties designed
to manage services in adverse circumstances. In addition,
the Company has the ability to pass down certain costs to
the service providers and can potentially rely on business
interruption cover where available.
Residual value assumptions are based on prevailing market
expectations and where possible recent market evidence. The
nature of the Company’s assets should provide some mitigation
to the risk of a reduction in demand for the assets at the end of
the expected investment holding period.

3. COUNTERPARTY RISK
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
The Company’s investments are dependent on the performance
of a series of counterparties to contracts including public
sector bodies, consortium partners, construction contractors,
facilities management and maintenance contractors, asset and
investment managers (including the Investment Adviser), banks
and lending institutions and others. Failure by one or more of
these counterparties to perform their obligations fully or as
anticipated could adversely affect the performance of
affected investments.
There may be disruption or delay to the services provided to
investments, or replacement counterparties (where they can be
obtained) may only be obtained at a greater cost. This could
negatively impact the Company’s cash flows and valuation.
The Company has a broad range of suppliers and believes
that supplier counterparty risk is diversified across its
investments. All contracts include the provision of a security
package from counterparties to mitigate the impact of supplier
failure. Generally, payments are made in arrears to service
providers giving the Company some protection against failures
in performance.
The credit quality of supplier counterparties is reviewed as
part of the Company’s due diligence at the time of making its
investments and for key suppliers on a regular basis.
Most of the services provided to the Company’s investments
are reasonably well established with a number of competing
providers. Therefore, there are expectations that there will be
a pool of potential replacement supplier counterparties in the
event that a service counterparty fails, albeit not necessarily at
the same cost.
The Company closely monitors the risk of adverse developments
occurring in relation to its significant counterparties and develops
contingency plans as appropriate to ensure risk of counterparty
failure is minimised.
Where borrowings exist in respect of the Company’s investments,
interest rates are generally fixed through the use of interest rate
swaps. The Company is therefore exposed to credit deterioration
of the counterparties of these swaps.
The credit risk of such swap counterparties is considered at the
time of entering into these arrangements and is regularly reviewed.
The Company aims to use reputed financial institutions with good
credit ratings.
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
Cyber Security
Cyber security continues to be an issue of focus for the
Company with growing levels of sophistication seen in the
use of cyber-attacks targeting businesses. The Company and
the assets in its portfolio can be impacted by cyber security
in a number of ways including asset operational performance,
financial loss, or reputational impact.
Layers of control exist across the portfolio designed to mitigate
cyber security risk as far as possible for the Company and
its assets. This includes dedicated controls and processes at
fund, as well as, at operational asset levels. The ways in which
cyber security is further supported through the portfolio includes
management focus at asset level, use of specialist external IT
service providers and external controls reviews, for example.
Performance-Related Termination
In serious cases where the terms of the underlying contract
with the public sector are breached due to default or force
majeure then that contract can usually be terminated without
compensation. Failure to receive the amount of revenue
projected or termination of a contract will have a consequential
impact on the Company’s cash flow and value.
In the event of significant and continuing unavailability across
the Company’s portfolio, the Company is able to terminate
the Investment Advisory Agreement. This serves to reinforce
alignment of interest between the Company and the
Investment Adviser.

5. CONTRACT RISK
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
The performance of the Company’s investments is dependent
on the complex set of contractual arrangements specific to each
investment continuing to operate as intended. The Company
is exposed to the risk that such contracts do not operate as
intended, are incomplete, contain unanticipated liabilities, are
subject to interpretation contrary to its expectations or otherwise
fail to provide the protection or recourse anticipated.
Such contracts have been entered into, usually only after
extensive negotiations and with the benefit of external legal
advice. A legal review of contract documentation is undertaken
as part of the Company’s due diligence at the time of making
new investments.
CONTINUOUS RISK MANAGEMENT continUeD
continUoUS riSK management CONTINUED
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
The Company indirectly invests in physical assets used by the
public and thus is exposed to possible risks, both reputational
and legal, in the event of damage or destruction to such assets
and their users, including loss of life, personal injury and property
damage. While the assets the Company invests in benefit from
insurance policies, these may not be effective in all cases.
Climate Change
Investments may be subject to extreme weather and changes in
precipitation and temperature, all of which may result in physical
damage to assets.
The Company’s investments benefit from regular risk reviews and
external insurance advice which is intended to ensure that those
assets continue to benefit from insurance cover that is standard
for such assets. Health and safety data is monitored across the
portfolio to highlight any areas of focus and ensure appropriate
safety measures are in place.
The Company works alongside its Investment Adviser to continue
its alignment with the recommendations of TCFD. The Company
has continued to update its investment processes, further
strengthening climate considerations within investment screening
and diligence, ensuring these are considered from the earliest
point in the investment cycle.
4. PHYSICAL ASSET RISK
International Public Partnerships Limited
Annual Report and financial statements 2025

6. INFLATION
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
Inflation may be higher or lower than expected. The net cash
flows from the Company’s investment portfolio are positively
correlated to inflation. Should actual inflation turn out to be
higher or lower than the rates assumed by the Company at
the relevant valuation date, this would be expected to impact
positively or negatively, respectively, on the Company’s projected
cash flows.
The level of inflation linkage across the investments held by
the Company varies and is not consistent. The consequences
of higher or lower levels of inflation than that assumed by the
Company will not be uniform across its portfolio.
The Company is also exposed to the risk of changes to the
manner in which inflation is calculated by the relevant authorities.
The Company benchmarks the inflation assumptions used in
its forecasts to credible independent sources. It also provides
sensitivities to investors indicating the projected impact on
the Company’s NAV of alternative inflation scenarios, offering
investors an ability to anticipate the likely effects alternative
inflation scenarios may have on their investment.
The Company monitors the effect of inflation on its portfolio
through its biannual valuation process.
MACROECONOMIC
7. FOREIGN EXCHANGE MOVEMENTS
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
A portion of the Company’s investment portfolio has cash flows
which are denominated in currencies other than Sterling, but
the Company borrows corporate level debt, reports its NAV
and pays dividends in Sterling. Changes in the rates of foreign
currency exchange are outside the Company’s control and may
impact positively or negatively on cash flows and valuation.
The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to
mitigate the risk of short-term volatility in foreign exchange rates
on the Sterling value of cash flows from overseas investments.
These may not be fully effective and rely on the strength of the
counterparties to those contracts to be enforceable.
The Company monitors the effect of foreign exchange on its
portfolio through its biannual valuation process and reports this
to investors. The Company also provides sensitivities to investors
indicating the projected impact on the NAV of a limited number
of alternative foreign exchange scenarios, offering investors the
ability to anticipate the likely effects of some foreign exchange
scenarios on their investment. The Company continues to be
mindful of the potential for exchange rate volatility in light of
international economic and political change. The Company notes
that a devaluation of Sterling against the relevant currencies would
typically have a positive impact on the NAV. The opposite would
be true for an increase in the value of Sterling.

8. INTEREST RATES
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
Valuation Discount Rate
Changes in market rates of interest (particularly government
bond yields) may directly impact the discount rate used to
value the Company’s future projected cash flows and thus its
valuation. Higher discount rates will have a negative impact on
valuation while lower rates will have a positive impact.
In determining the discount rates used to value its investments,
the Company generally uses nominal government bond yields
to which specific investment risk premia are added to determine
the overall discount rates. The investment risk premia may
provide a buffer against rising bond yields assuming market
demand for investment is sustained. Higher interest rates can
often be precipitated by higher inflation expectations, and
therefore any inflation-linkage (as noted above) may partly
mitigate the effect of interest rate changes.
Corporate Debt Facility
Floating rate interest is charged on the CDF, so higher than
anticipated interest rates will increase the cost of this facility.
In the event that the interest rate increases, the Company has
the option of repaying its CDF at any time with minimal notice,
providing sufficient funds are available. The current facility
totals £300m, including a £50m uncommitted ‘accordion’,
compared to the Company’s current investment portfolio
valuation of approximately £2.7bn. As at the date of this Report
the CDF remains undrawn. The current CDF remains in place
until April 2028.
Underlying portfolio considerations
Portfolio entities typically choose or can be required to hold
various cash balances. The Company assumes that it will
earn interest on such deposits over the long-term. Changes in
interest rates may mean that the actual interest receivable by the
Company is different to that projected.
Certain assets within the portfolio contain refinancing
assumptions. Increases in lending rates available to these
projects would have the potential to increase their cost of
financing and therefore impact the overall returns from
these assets.
As presented in the sensitivity analysis, variations in cash deposit
rates have little impact on the Company’s NAV. The Company
monitors the effect of historical and projected interest rates on
its portfolio through its biannual valuation process and reports
this to investors. The risk of adverse movements in debt interest
rates for unhedged debt within regulated entities is limited through
protections provided by the regulatory regime; however, the
Company may potentially be exposed to interest rate risk on debt
outside of the regulatory structure.

REGULATION AND COMPLIANCE
9. LAW AND REGULATION
10. TAX
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
Change in law or regulation
Changes in law or regulation may increase costs of operating
and maintaining facilities or impose other costs or obligations
that indirectly adversely affect the Company’s cash flow from its
investments and/or valuation of them.
Some investments maintain a reserve or contingency designed
to meet a change in law costs and/or have a mechanism to allow
some change in law costs (typically building maintenance related)
to be passed back to the public sector. The possibility remains for
there to be changes in law or regulation (including, for example, in
relation to climate change) that have the potential to impact costs or
obligations of the Company or portfolio projects, which may not be
fully capable of mitigation. The Company closely monitors changes
in laws and regulations to ensure that the Company remains
compliant with its obligations and minimises cost exposures
wherever possible.
Transition to net zero
In 2019, the UK Government committed to the net zero target
as recommended by the Climate Change Committee. Reaching
net zero GHG emissions requires extensive changes across
the economy. Major infrastructure decisions need to be made
in the near future. These changes are unprecedented in their
overall scale and therefore may impact the use case of a variety
of infrastructure including altering the way infrastructure is
operated and utilised.
A large portion of the Company’s investments are availability-type
assets where the cash flows are based on making the asset available
in a pre-agreed manner. The cash flows from such investments are
largely insulated from the impacts of the transition to net zero.
The changes arising from a transition to a low-carbon economy
have the potential to be wide-ranging, including adapting to
decarbonisation of heat, increased electrification of transportation
and other systems previously dependent on fossil fuels, and
decarbonisation of construction. It is expected infrastructure will
continue to play a key role in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
The Company believes the portfolio to be well placed for the transition
to net zero.
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
Change in tax rates
Rates of tax, both in the UK and overseas jurisdictions in which
the Company operates, may increase in the future if government
policy were to change.
The Company typically incorporates tax rates changes within its
forecast cash flows once substantively enacted, or where there is
a reasonable expectation of substantial enactment shortly after the
valuation date and continuously monitors for changes in tax rates.
Change in tax legislation
Changes in tax legislation across the multiple jurisdictions
in which the Company has investments can reduce returns,
impacting on the Company’s future cash flow returns and hence
valuation (calculated on a discounted cash flow basis).
The Company takes a cautious approach to tax planning. The
Board monitors changes in tax legislation and takes advice
as appropriate from external, independent, qualified advisers.
While the Board and the Company’s Investment Adviser seek to
minimise the impact of adverse changes in tax requirements, its
ability to do so is naturally limited.

11. FINANCIAL FORECASTS
DESCRIPTION MITIGATION
The Company’s projections depend on the use of financial
models to calculate its future projected investment returns.
There may be errors in any of these financial models, including
calculation, input, logic, and output errors. Once corrected,
such errors may lead to a revision in projected cash flows
and thus impact valuation.
The financial forecasts of certain operating infrastructure
businesses can have more variability than contracted
concessions, given the wider range of variables that apply and
are therefore inherently more difficult to forecast accurately.
The financial models used to generate financial forecasts
are generally subject to model audit by external professional
service firms, which is a process designed to identify errors.
The comparison of past actual performance of investments
against past projected performance also gives confidence
in financial models where actual performance has closely
matched projected performance. However, there can be
no assurance that forecasts will be realised, particularly in
relation to operational infrastructure businesses where more
variables apply.
Investments in regulated businesses are considered very long-
term, beyond the much shorter regulatory cycles. Valuations of
such businesses should take into account robustness of yield
and potential for increases in regulated asset base over time.
Sensitivities
The Company publishes information relating to its portfolio
including projections of how portfolio performance and valuation
might be impacted by changes in various factors e.g. interest
rates, inflation rates, deposit rates, etc. The sensitivity analysis
and projections are not forecasts and actual performance is
likely to differ (possibly significantly) from that projection
as in practice the impact of changes to such factors will be
unlikely to apply evenly across the portfolio or in isolation from
other factors.
Financial models are managed by a dedicated team with a
background in financial modelling and experience of managing
models in a manner that seeks to minimise the risk of error.
Sensitivities are produced for the information of relevant
stakeholders and are accompanied by disclaimers and guidance
explaining that limited reliance can be placed upon them.

of Corporate Governance, we have considered the Company’s
viability as summarised below. Due to the long-term and/or
contractual nature of our investments, we have a significant level
of confidence over the endurance and longevity of our business;
however, it is difficult to assess the regulatory, tax and political
environment on a long-term basis. Whilst we consider the valuation
of investment cash flows for the purposes of the NAV over a
considerably longer period than five years, we view five years as
an appropriate timeframe for assessing the Company’s viability
given these inherent uncertainties.
The viability assessment process is embedded within the
Company’s annual risk review cycle and involves the following:
1 An Audit and Risk Committee review and assessment of the
risks facing the Company. A summary of the review process is
detailed on pages 89 to 91;
2 Identification of those principal risks that are deemed more likely
to occur and have a potential impact on the Company’s viability
over the viability period. This exercise has included consideration
of: a persistent low inflation rate environment (noting that a high-
rate environment would typically be positive for the Company’s
investment cash flows given the linkage of revenues to inflation
across many investments); large currency fluctuations impacting
on receipts from overseas investments; and the impact of
the loss of income from investments (whether due to key
subcontractor default, or other reason for underperformance).
We note that a number of risks identified during the risk review
process in step one above may have implications for the
Company’s valuation but may be considered insignificant from a
five-year viability perspective;
3 Quantification analysis of the potential impact of those principal
risks occurring in isolation and under plausible combined
sensitivity scenarios over the viability period;
4 Assessment of potential mitigation strategies to mitigate the
potential impact of principal risks over the viability period. This
exercise has considered the potential to liquidate investments
and/or refinance investments if necessary.
The viability assessment is approved by the Board. Following the
assessment, the Board has a reasonable expectation that the
Company will be able to continue in operation and meet all of
its liabilities as they fall due up to March 2031. This assessment
is based on the following assumptions which are not within the
Company’s control:
No significant changes to government policy, tax, laws and
regulations affecting the Company or its investments other than
the impacts already factored into future cash flows as part of the
31 December 2025 NAV valuation; and
Continued availability of sufficient capital and market liquidity to
allow for refinancing/repayment of any short-term recourse debt
facility obligations as they become due, including in relation to the
Company’s debt facility which remains available until April 2028,
after which a renewed facility will take effect. The new facility is
expected to be broadly comparable in size and structure, with
terms that reflect prevailing market conditions.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
SUMMARY OF INVESTMENT POLICY
OVERVIEW
The Company invests in public or social infrastructure assets and
related businesses located in the UK, Australia, New Zealand,
Europe, North America and other parts of the world where the risk
profile meets the Company’s risk and return requirements.
The Company has a long-term view and invests in operational and
construction phase assets for the life of the asset or concession,
or under a licence issued by a regulator, unless there is a strategic
rationale for earlier realisation. The Company seeks to enhance
the capital value and the income derived from its investments to
optimise returns for its investors.
As noted elsewhere in this Report, the Board regularly reviews the
overall composition of the portfolio to ensure it remains aligned
with the Company’s investment objectives, including considering
both investment and divestment as part of overall capital
allocationconsiderations.
The Company has a long-standing Investment Policy that has been
adopted and approved by its shareholders which informs its overall
approach to capital allocation. The Policy is summarised below and
available in full at www.internationalpublicpartnerships.com.
INVESTMENT PARAMETERS
Maintaining the performance of the existing portfolio is the
Company’s key focus. However, it will also take the following
intoaccount:
Investments with characteristics similar to the existing portfolio;
Investments in other assets or concessions or regulated
businesses having a public or social infrastructure character
with either availability, property rental or user paid payment
mechanisms or appropriate regulatory frameworks;
Investments in infrastructure assets or concessions characterised
by high barriers to entry and expected to generate an attractive
total rate of return over the life of the investment;
Divestments where an investment is no longer aligned with the
Company’s investment objectives or where circumstances offer
an opportunity to enhance the value of the portfolio.
PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION
The Company will, over the long-term, maintain a spread of
investments both geographically and across industry sectors in
order to achieve a broad balance of risk in the Company’s portfolio.
The Company does not currently expect to invest to any material
extent in infrastructure projects located in non-OECD countries in
the foreseeable future.
Asset allocation will depend on the maturity of the local
infrastructure investment market, wider market conditions and
the judgement of the Investment Adviser and the Board on the
suitability of the investment from a risk and return perspective. The
Asset Management section on page 35 has details of the current
composition of the investment portfolio.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Company’s Investment Policy restricts it from making any
investment of more than 20% of the total assets in any one
investment in order to limit the risk of any one investment to
theoverall portfolio.
As a London Stock Exchange listed company, the Company is
alsosubject to certain restrictions pursuant to the UK Listing Rules.
MANAGING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Further investments will continue to be sourced by the Investment
Adviser, Amber Fund Management Limited. Some of these
investments will have been originated and developed by, and
in certain cases may be acquired from, members of the Amber
Infrastructure Group.
The Company has established detailed procedures to deal with
conflicts of interest that may arise and manage conduct in respect
of any such acquisition. The Corporate Governance Report sets
outmore details on the conflicts management process.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
The Company may also make prudent use of leverage to enhance
returns to investors, to finance the acquisition of investments in the
short-term and to satisfy working capital requirements.
Under the Company’s Articles, outstanding borrowings at the
Company level, including any financial guarantees to support
subscription obligations in relation to investments, are limited to
50% of the Gross Asset Value (‘GAV’) of the Company’s investments
and cash balances. The Company has the ability to borrow in
aggregate up to 66% of such GAV on a short-term basis (i.e. less
than 365 days) if considered appropriate. Details of the Company’s
CDF can be found on page 42.
CHANGES TO INVESTMENT POLICY
Material changes to the Investment Policy summarised in this
section may only be made by ordinary resolution of the shareholders
in accordance with the UK Listing Rules.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
INTRODUCTION
The Board of Directors is committed to high standards of corporate
governance and has put in place a framework for corporate
governance which it believes is appropriate for an investment
company that is a constituent of the FTSE 250 and FTSE
All-Share indices.
The Board is accountable for the overall direction and oversight
of the Company, for agreeing its strategy, monitoring its financial
performance, and setting and monitoring its risk appetite.
This section describes how the Company is governed. It explains
how the Board is organised and operates, including the roles and
composition of each of its Committees, and provides details on its
Board members and how they are remunerated. As an investment
company, the Company has no employees and relies on the advice
and expertise of its key suppliers, notably its Investment Adviser.
This section therefore also explains the nature of the Company’s
relationship with the Investment Adviser, and how this is managed,
including the remuneration of the Investment Adviser.
COMPLIANCE WITH CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
CODESAND REGULATIONS
The Company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is
required to confirm its compliance with (or explain departures from)
the UK Corporate Governance Code (the ‘UK Code’). The Company
is a member of the Association of Investment Companies (the ‘AIC’)
and has put in place arrangements to comply with the AIC Code
which, in accordance with the AIC Code, enables it to comply with
the UK Code in areas that are of specific relevance to investment
companies. The Guernsey Financial Services Commission (the
‘GFSC’) has confirmed that companies that report against the UK
Code or AIC Code are deemed to meet the Guernsey Code of
Corporate Governance. The AIC Code is available from the AIC
website (www.theaic.co.uk). The UK Code is available from the
Financial Reporting Council’s website (www.frc.co.uk).
As an investment company, most of the Company’s day-to-day
responsibilities are delegated to third parties. The Company does
not have any executive directors. The UK Code’s two separate
principles of setting out the responsibilities of the chief executive
and disclosing the remuneration of executive directors (Principles
Gand Q of the UK Code) are therefore not applicable.
During the year, the Company adopted the 2024 AIC Code, which
became effective from 1 January 2025. The changes introduced
by the updated Code resulted in relatively limited amendments
to the Company’s governance framework, all of which have been
implemented. In addition, the Board has commenced work in
preparation for the new controls declaration that will be required
infuture reporting periods.
Although the Company is registered in Guernsey, in accordance
with the guidance set out in the AIC code, this Annual Report
contains a description of how the Directors have considered matters
set out in Section 172 of the UK Companies Act 2006 in relation
to stakeholder engagement and the success of the Company.
Seepage 60 to 61 for more information.

Financial StatementS

International Public Partnerships Limited
Annual Report and financial statements 2025
overview CORPORATE GOVERNANCEStrategic report
During the year, the Company was subject to the UK Packaged
Retail and Insurance-based Investment Product (‘PRIIPs’) Regime
(‘the Regulation’). In accordance with the requirements of the
Regulation, the Company published and updated its three-page
Key Information Document (‘KID’) on 4 September 2025.
The KID is available on the Company’s website,
https://www.internationalpublicpartnerships.com/investors/
reports-and-publications, and will be updated following the
publication of the Company’s financial results, in accordance
withthe amendments required by the Regulation and thereafter
atleastevery 12 months.
BOARD AND COMMITTEES
The Board sets the strategy for the Company and makes decisions
on changes to the portfolio (including approval of acquisitions,
disposals and valuations) and corporate actions, including the
payment of dividends and return of capital to investors. Through
Committees, and the use of external independent advisers, it
manages risk and governance of the Company.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors currently consists of seven independent
non-executive directors, whose biographies, on pages 78 to 80,
demonstrate a breadth of investment and business experience.
The Board is chaired by Mike Gerrard, who was considered to
be independent upon appointment and remains independent
throughout his term of service for the purposes of the AIC Code.
In accordance with the AIC Code, all other non-executive directors
were independent of the Company’s Investment Adviser on
appointment to the Board and continue to remain so.
BOARD TENURE AND RE-ELECTION
Directors do not have service contracts. Directors are appointed
under letters of appointment, copies of which are available at the
registered office of the Company. All Directors offer themselves for
re-election on an annual basis. In accordance with the AIC Code,
when and if any Director has been in office (or on re-election would
at the end of that term of office have been in office) for more than
nine years, the Company will consider further whether there is a
risk that such a director might reasonably be deemed to have lost
independence through such long service.
At the 2025 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’), both John Le Poidevin
and Giles Frost retired from the Board.
At the forthcoming AGM, Mike Gerrard will not seek re-election and
will retire from the Board. Sarah Whitney will succeed Mike Gerrard
as Chair of the Board at the conclusion of the meeting.
DIRECTORS’ DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Directors have adopted a set of Reserved Powers,
whichestablish the key purpose of the Board and detail its
majorduties and is available on the Company’s website,
www.internationalpublicpartnerships.com.
These reserved powers of the Board have been adopted by the
Directors to demonstrate clearly the importance with which the
Board takes its fiduciary responsibilities and as an ongoing means
ofmeasuring and monitoring the effectiveness of its actions.
The Board monitors the Company’s share price and NAV and
regularly considers ways in which shareholder value may be
enhanced. These may include implementing marketing and
investor relations activities, appropriate management of share price
premium/discount and the relative positioning and performance
of the Company to its competitors. The Board is also responsible
for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for taking
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and
otherirregularities.
The Board recognises the important role the Company’s portfolio
investments have in supporting the communities they serve. To
ensure that they fully appreciate the impact of the investments,
the Board undertakes regular visits to the Company’s assets and,
during 2025, visited a number of the Company’s investments, which
facilitate education, offer safe and affordable travel, and deliver
leading health services and research.
The Company maintains appropriate Directors’ and Officers’ liability
insurance in respect of legal action against its directors on an
ongoing basis and the Company has maintained appropriate cover
throughout the year.
BOARD DIVERSITY
The Board is committed to maintaining the appropriate balance of
skills, gender, knowledge and experience among its members to
ensure strong leadership of the Company. The Board currently has
five female directors, making the gender balance 71% female and
29% male. Currently, four of the sub-committee Chair positions are
all held by female directors. In addition, post year end, the Company
was ranked third in the ‘FTSE 350’s Investment Trust Rankings 2025
Women on Boards’ only.
The Board always appoints individuals on merit considering a
balance of skills, qualities and experience that the Board feels
are important to function, enhance and grow as a FTSE 250
board. TheBoard strongly believes that diversity of backgrounds,
perspectives and insights is a critical tenet of dynamic and robust
decision making and is keen to enhance the diversity of its
composition, including consideration of potential candidates with
the appropriate skills and experience for whom this would be their
first appointment as a non-executive director of a listed company.
As an externally managed investment company with no chief
executive officer (‘CEO’) or chief financial officer (‘CFO’), the roles
which qualify as senior under FCA guidance are Chair and Senior
Independent Director (‘SID’). The Board also considers the Audit
Committee Chair to represent a senior role within this context.
At31December 2025, the Board met the targets on the percentage
that are women, and ethnic diversity. The following table sets out
the required information on diversity and inclusion, reflecting on the
gender and ethnic background of the Board as at 31 December
2025 in accordance with the requirements of the UK Listing
Rules. The information has been self-provided by the individuals
concerned. The questions asked were: “Which gender do you
identify by” and “Which of the FCA ethnicity groups do you consider
yourself to fall within?”.

BOARD REMUNERATION
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee considers matters
relating to the Directors’ remuneration, taking into account
benchmark information (including fees paid to directors of
comparable companies). All fees payable to the Directors should
also reflect the time spent by the Directors on the Company’s affairs
and the responsibilities borne by the Directors and be sufficient to
attract, retain and motivate Directors of a quality required to run
theCompany successfully.
Given the inflationary landscape, increased time commitments
of the Directors and additional responsibilities placed on certain
Board members, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has
decided that an externally led review of Board remuneration should
be undertaken during 2026. The recommendations of this review
will be taken into account by the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee in determining the fees that should apply as from
1 January 2026. In the meantime, the fees remain unchanged at
their 2025 levels.

The Audit and Risk Committee is comprised of the full Board,
with the exception of Mike Gerrard as Board Chair; however,
MikeGerrard routinely attends meetings of the Audit and Risk
Committee as an observer.
Stephanie Coxon is the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee.
In September 2025, Giles Adu succeeded Sally-Ann David as the
current Chair of the Risk Sub-Committee. The duties of the Audit
and Risk Committee in discharging its responsibilities are outlined
inthe Audit and Risk Committee Report on pages 89 to 91.
In respect of its risk management function, the Audit and Risk
Committee, through the separately convened Risk Sub-Committee,
is also responsible for reviewing the Company’s risk management
function and framework, in relation to the Investment Policy of the
Company, including the acquisition and disposal of assets, the
valuation of assets and ensuring that the risk management function
of the Investment Adviser, Administrator and other third-party
service providers are adequate and to seek assurance of the same.
The Audit and Risk Committee formally reviews the Company’s
overall approach to risk management on an annual basis and its
risk register on at least a quarterly basis. Topics considered during
the year can be found in the Audit and Risk Committee Report on
pages 89 to 91. The Committee is satisfied that the key risks that
could impact the Company and its investments were effectively
mitigated and reported upon and were broadly in line with those of
the Company’s relevant industry peers.
MANAGEMENT ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE
The Management Engagement Committee is chaired by Julia Bond
and is comprised of the full Board. The duties of the Management
Engagement Committee in discharging its responsibilities are
outlined in the diagram on page 84.
The Management Engagement Committee carries out its review
of the Company’s advisers through consideration of objective
and subjective criteria and through a review of the terms and
conditions of the advisers’ appointments, with the aim of evaluating
performance, identifying any weaknesses and ensuring value for
money for the Company’s shareholders.
During the year, the Management Engagement Committee formally
reviewed the performance of the Investment Adviser and other key
service providers to the Company, and no material weaknesses
were identified. Overall, the Committee confirmed its satisfaction
with the services and advice received. As has been referred
to elsewhere in this document, amendments to the IAA were
implemented that further aligned the Investment Advisor’s interests
with those of our shareholders.
NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is comprised of
the full Board and is chaired by Sally-Ann David. The Committee
is formally charged by the Board to consider the structure, size,
remuneration, skills and composition of the Board. This includes
its diversity and inclusion development in line with the Company’s
responsible investment objective and management of material ESG
factors, ensuring diversity is strongly reflected at Board level as
outlined on pages 82 to 83. It also oversees the appointment and
reappointment of directors, taking into account the expertise and
diversity of the candidates and their independence (see page 84
formore detail on the Committee).
For the recruitment process for the Chair designate role,
the Nomination and Remuneration Committee developed a
thorough role specification with the assistance of external search
firm, Conforth Consulting, to identify potential candidates for
consideration, with a shortlist of candidates being interviewed
by Committee members before a final decision was taken to
recommend the appointment of Sarah Whitney to the Board.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee will continue to
review structure, size and composition of the Board and report on
succession planning annually to preserve continuity by phasing the
retirement of Directors approaching nine years of service.
In accordance with the UK Code, the Company undertakes an
externally facilitated evaluation every three years. The Company’s
most recent external evaluation was conducted in 2023.
In 2025, the Board undertook an internal evaluation coordinated by
the Company Secretary. As part of this process, Board members
completed a comprehensive questionnaire designed to assess
the performance and effectiveness of the Board, its Chair and
its Committees. A report of the findings of the evaluation was
presented and considered by the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee. No material issues were identified, and the review
concluded that the Board operated well, with skill and focus and
in a harmonious and supportive manner. A small number of areas
were identified for further focus, including succession planning and
Boardculture.
ESG COMMITTEE
The ESG Committee is comprised of the full Board and is chaired
by Meriel Lenfestey. The ESG Committee provides a forum for
discussion, support and challenge with respect to ESG matters,
including the adoption of policies by the Company in relation
to both investments and divestments, as well as Amber’s asset
management activities and reporting policies.
The ESG Committee meets at least twice a year and supports the
Board in managing the Company’s ESG performance. Please refer
to the Company’s Sustainability Report for more information on the
ESG Committee and workstreams that have been delivered during
the year.

1 Board Committee meetings are formed of any two or more members of the Board and do not require full attendance. All members of the Board are appraised of the matters to be discussed
at the Committee meeting and have the opportunity to raise questions to the Board Chair, Investment Adviser or other advisers, as required.
2 Mike Gerrard is not a member of the Audit and Risk Committee but attended these meetings as an observer.
3 Stephanie Coxon was absent from the ad-hoc Nomination and Remuneration Committee meetings due to the nature of the discussions.
4 John Le Poidevin resigned from the Board with effect from 3 June 2025, at which three Board meetings, four Audit and Risk Committee meetings, one ESG Committee meeting, two
Management Engagement Committee meetings and two Nomination and Remuneration meetings subsequently took place.
5 Giles Frost resigned from the Board with effect from 3 June 2025, at which three Board meetings had subsequently taken place.
6 Giles Frost is not a member of the Audit and Risk Committee, Management Engagement Committee, or Nomination and Remuneration Committee. While Giles Frost attended the majority
of ad-hoc Board and Committee meetings, as these meetings considered recommendations from the Investment Adviser, his presence does not count towards the quorum so has been
excluded from this tally.
7 Sarah Whitney was appointed with effect from 24 November 2025, at which point there had been six Board meetings, six Audit and Risk Committee meetings, two ESG Committee
meetings, two Management Engagement Committee meetings and nine Nomination and Remuneration Committee meetings.
8 The Board meeting that Julia Bond and Meriel Lenfestey did not attend was an ad-hoc meeting arranged at shorter notice, rather than a scheduled quarterly meeting.
The Board has reviewed the composition, structure and diversity
of the Board. The Board believes that all Directors have the time
available to discharge their duties effectively, and that while a
number of the independent Directors sit on the boards of other
listed companies, these individuals are exclusively non-executive
directors. Furthermore, the Board noted that attendance at all Board
and Committee meetings during the year was high by all Directors
and that each Director has always shown the time commitment
necessary to fully and effectively discharge their
duties as a director.
Accordingly, the Board recommends that shareholders vote in
favour of the re-election of all Directors who are putting themselves
forward for re-election at the forthcoming AGM. Please refer to
page 82 outlining the Board’s approach to diversity and re-election.
RELATIONSHIP WITH ADMINISTRATOR
ANDCOMPANYSECRETARY
Ocorian Administration (Guernsey) Limited (‘Ocorian’) acts as
Administrator and Company Secretary and is responsible to the
Board under the terms of the Administration Agreement. Noting
that final responsibility lies with the Board, the Administrator
ensures compliance with Guernsey Company Law, London Stock
Exchange listing requirements, the regulatory requirements of the
GFSC, anti-money laundering regulations, corporate governance
best practice and observation of the Reserved Powers of the
Board and in this respect the Board receives detailed quarterly
reports. The Directors have access to the advice and services
of the Company Secretary, who is responsible to the Board
for ensuring that Board procedures are followed and that it
adheres to applicable legislation, rules and regulations as
referred toabove.
International Public Partnerships Limited
Annual Report and financial statements 2025

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
The Directors are responsible for the overall management and direction of the affairs of the Company. Under the IAA, Amber Fund Management
Limited (a member of the Amber Infrastructure Group Holdings Limited group of companies) acts as Investment Adviser to the Company to
review and monitor current investments and to advise the Company in relation to strategic management of the investment portfolio.
CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS AND FEES
The Company has a long-standing relationship with the Investment Adviser, and through mechanisms such as the IAA, the Board ensures
the ongoing alignment of interest between the Company, its shareholders and the Investment Adviser.
The IAA allows for the provision of investment advisory and certain other financial services to the Board. In return, the Investment Adviser
previously received fees principally based on the GAV of the Company as well as a contribution to expenses. As part of the package of
measures designed to strengthen the Company’s position in the current environment as well as ensure it is well-positioned for the longer-
term, the Board and the Investment Adviser have agreed to a change in the fee basis.
From 1 July 2025, the fees paid to the Investment Adviser in respect of each quarter are based on the equal weighting of, (i) the average
of the closing daily market capitalisation of the Company during that quarter, and (ii) the most recently published NAV. Based on the
current share price discount to the NAV, this fee change is expected to reduce the ongoing management fee by approximately 10% per
year, providing additional value for shareholders, as well as closer alignment. The basis for the calculation of the previous and new fee
arrangements are set out below.
Fee basis to 30 June 2025 Fee basis from 1 July 2025
For fully operational assets
1.2% for the first £750m
The GAV of the portfolio
The equal weighting of, (i) the
average of the closing daily
market capitalisation, and (ii) the
most recently published NAV
1.0% for the amount that exceeds £750m but is less than £1.5bn
0.9% for the amount that exceeds £1.5bn but is less than £2.75bn
0.8% for the amount in excess of £2.75bn
For the portion of assets bearing construction risk
1.2% for the portion of the fee basis that bears construction risk
(i.e.the asset has not fully completed all construction stages including
any relevant defects period and achieved certification by the relevant
counterparty and senior lender)
The GAV of the portfolio
The equal weighting of, (i) the
average of the closing daily
market capitalisation, and (ii) the
most recently published NAV
The IAA includes a provision to ensure that the amount of the base
fee payable under the new fee arrangement cannot exceed the
amount payable under the prior arrangements.
The Investment Adviser continues to be entitled to an asset
origination fee of 1.5% of the value of new investments acquired
by the Company. It should be noted that, generally, the Investment
Adviser bears the risk of abortive transaction origination costs.
The Board considers that, given the long-term nature of the
Company’s investments, its responsibility for the detailed day-to-
day delivery of management services and relationships with public
sector clients, it is important that it benefits from the continuity of
service provided by a long-term advisory partner. As a result, the
new arrangements agreed with the Investment Advisor retain the
existing five-year notice period. To ensure that shareholder interests
are protected, termination provisions continue to be in place to
ensure that, in the event of poor investment performance, the
Company has the ability to remove the Investment Adviser.
The Company and the Investment Adviser agreed with effect from
1July 2025 to remove the Company’s formal right of first refusal
over investment opportunities meeting its investment criteria that
come to the attention of the Investment Adviser or its US-based
shareholders (Hunt Companies and Boyd Watterson). Both the
Company and the Investment Adviser are keen to emphasise that
they do not expect any change in the quality, suitability, diversity
or volume of investment opportunities being made available to
INPP asa result of this change and the Investment Adviser fully
expects to continue its 19 year track record of developing long term
pipelines of investment opportunities for the Company.

INVESTMENT APPROVAL PROCESS
As outlined above, the Board makes decisions with respect to new
investments or divestments after reviewing recommendations made
by the Company’s Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has a
detailed set of procedures and approval processes in relation to the
recommendation it makes to the Board.
It is expected that further investments will be sourced by the
Investment Adviser. It is likely that some of these investments will
have been originated and developed by, and in certain cases may
be acquired from, other members of the Investment Adviser’s
group. Where that is the case, the conflicts management process
summarised below is followed.
MANAGING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Company has detailed procedures, including a capital allocation
policy to deal with conflicts of interest that may arise on investments
acquired from the Investment Adviser’s group and manage conduct
in respect of any such acquisitions. The Company’s Board is
wholly comprised of independent members and a Chair who is
independent of the Investment Adviser. Each Director is required to
inform the Board of any potential or actual conflicts of interest prior
to Board discussions.
The potential conflicts of interest that may arise include when an
Amber entity is an existing investor in the target entity while an
associated company, AFML, acts on the ‘buyside’ as Investment
Adviser to the Company. The IAA contains procedures with the
intention of ensuring that the terms on which the vendors of
such assets dispose of their assets are fair and reasonable to the
vendors; and on the ‘buyside’ the Company as Investment Adviser
must be satisfied as to the appropriateness of the terms for and
theprice of the acquisition.
The acquisition of all assets, including those from any associate
of the Investment Adviser is considered and approved in advance
by the Board. In considering any such acquisition, the Board will,
as it deems necessary, review and ask questions of the Buyside
Committee of the Investment Adviser and the Group’s other advisers
and the acquisition will be approved by the Board on the basis of
this advice. The purpose of these procedures is to ensure that the
terms upon which any investment is acquired from a member of the
Amber group is on an arm’s length basis.
RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Board is responsible for overall risk management with
delegation provided to the Audit and Risk Committee. The system
of risk management and internal control has been designed to
manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of failure to meet the
business objectives. Regard is given to the materiality of relevant
risks and therefore the system of internal control cannot provide
absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.
This process, which covers the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries and therefore the consolidated Group taken as a
whole, is outlined in further detail in the Risk Report found on
pages 62 to 75.

Modern Slavery, please see the website: https://www.

slavery-and-human-trafficking-policy-2025.pdf
RELATIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS
The Board places great importance on communication with
shareholders and encourages shareholders to share their views.
It has responsibility for communication with the investor base and
is directly involved in major communications and announcements.
The Board receives regular reports on the views of shareholders,
and the Board Chair and other Directors, including the Senior
Independent Director, are happy to make themselves available to
meet shareholders as required.
We have continued to enhance our disclosures in response to investor
feedback, providing greater transparency on portfolio cash flows,
asset-level performance metrics, and the key drivers of value across
our top holdings. These improvements are intended to support
investor understanding while maintaining appropriate confidentiality
around commercially sensitive information. In addition, the Board
has maintained a proactive approach to marketing and shareholder
engagement initiatives, with a focus on attracting new sources of
capital through enhanced media and marketing initiatives, while further
strengthening relationships with our existing shareholder base.
During the year, the Company held its Results Presentations online,
and saw an increase in day-to-day investor relations activities being
held in person. During 2025, the Investment Adviser and members
of the Board engaged with c.400 shareholders, through meetings
or webinars. The Company also maintained an active programme
of sell-side engagement and the Board is informed on a regular
basis of all relevant market commentary on the Company by the
Investment Adviser, Administrator and the Company’s Broker.
The AGM of the Company provides an opportunity for shareholders
to meet and discuss issues with the Directors and with the
Investment Adviser. It is the Board’s policy to publish the results of
the voting at the AGM via the Regulatory News Service (‘RNS’) at
the completion of the meeting.
To promote a clear understanding of the Company, its objectives
and financial results, the Board aims to ensure that information
relating to the Company is disclosed in a timely manner. The
Company’s website (www.internationalpublicpartnerships.com)
enables investors to easily find publicly disclosed documents
including Annual Reports and RNS announcements, together with
additional background information on its assets and corporate
practice. Investors can register to receive notifications (via email)
of RNS announcements that the Company issues. The Board
encourages investors to utilise this useful online resource.
Any shareholder issues of concern, including on corporate
governance or strategy, can be addressed in writing to the
Company at its registered office address (see Key Contacts).

AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE REPORT continUeD
KEY ACTIVITIES CONSIDERED DURING THE YEAR
The Committee undertook the following activities in discharging
itsresponsibilities during the year:
FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Committee reviewed the Company’s Annual Report and
financial statements, the half-yearly financial report and interim
quarterly updates prior to approval by the Board and advised the
Board with respect to meeting the Company’s financial reporting
obligations. The Committee reviewed the Company’s accounting
policies and practices, including approval of critical accounting
policies; consideration of the appropriateness of significant
judgements and estimates; and advising the Board as to its views
on whether the Annual Report and financial statements, taken as
awhole, was fair, balanced and understandable.
The Committee considered the most significant accounting
judgement exercised in preparing the consolidated financial
statements to be the basis for determining the fair value of the
Company’s investments, as detailed below.
Fair Value of Investments
The Company’s investments are typically in unlisted securities,
including shares and debt, hence market prices for such
investments are not typically readily available. Instead, the Company
uses a discounted cash flow methodology and benchmarks the
valuation inputs to market comparables in order to derive the
Directors’ valuation of investments.
Valuations are prepared by the Investment Adviser, and the
methodology requires a series of judgements to be made, as
explained in note 11 to the financial statements. The valuation
process and methodology were discussed with the Investment
Adviser regularly during the year. Key areas of focus subject to
challenge were also discussed with the auditor as part of the year-
end audit planning and interim review processes. TheCommittee
challenged the Investment Adviser on the year endfair value
of investments as part of its consideration of the audited
financialstatements.
During the year, the Committee reviewed the Investment Adviser’s
quarterly valuation reports, reports on the performance of the
underlying assets and the Investment Adviser’s assessment
of macroeconomic assumptions. No significant changes were
made in the year to the approach in the valuation process and
the Investment Adviser confirmed that the valuation methodology
has been applied consistently with prior years. The Committee
also reviewed and challenged the reasonableness of the valuation
assumptions (which include the underlying cash flows, discount
rates, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, inflation rates and
taxrates).
The Committee scrutinised the quality and findings of the external
auditor in relation to their audit of the valuations, including its
assessment of the Investment Adviser’s underlying cash flow
projections and assumptions; macroeconomic assumptions; and
discount rate methodology and output. The auditor confirmed no
material adjustments were proposed.
The Committee concluded that a consistent valuation methodology
has been applied throughout the year and any forecast assumptions
applied were appropriate.
Revenue recognition
The Committee has considered the risk of inappropriate accounting
recognition of revenue to be a relatively low risk given the nature
ofthe Company’s activities.
Internal controls
The Committee satisfied itself that the system of internal control
and compliance over financial reporting was effective, through
consideration of regular reports from the Investment Adviser,
the Administrator and external third-party advisers. The Audit
Committee also conducted an in-depth review of key internal
controls at the Investment Adviser’s offices. Theprimary areas
covered included valuations, asset management, ESG, and risk
management. Following publication of the revised UK Corporate
Governance Code, the Committee has commenced planning to
address the enhanced internal control requirements set out in
Provision 29. During the year, a number ofdetailed discussions
were held with the Investment Adviser and the external auditor to
determine the appropriate approach to achieving compliance when
the Provision becomes effective on 1January2026.
The Committee has satisfied itself that appropriate steps are being
taken to prepare for compliance with Provision 29 and that the
developing framework is robust, well documented and capable of
supporting the Committee’s future assessment of the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal controls.
The Committee also considered the adequacy of resources,
qualifications and experience of staff in the finance function and
had direct access to and independent discussions with the external
auditor throughout the year.
Fair, balanced and understandable
The Committee seeks to establish arrangements to ensure fair,
balanced and understandable reporting. The Committee engaged
in extensive dialogue with the Investment Adviser throughout the
year and considered the interim and annual financial statements as
well as quarterly updates and reports prepared by the Investment
Adviser. Following review of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report
and financial statements, the Committee advised the Board that,
in its opinion, the Annual Report and financial statements, taken
as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the
information necessary to assess the Company’s performance,
operating model and strategy.
EXTERNAL AUDITOR
The Committee recommended to the Board the scope and terms
of engagement of the external auditor. The Committee considered
auditor objectivity and independence, audit tenure, audit tendering
and auditor effectiveness, as detailed below.
Objectivity and independence
In assessing the objectivity of the auditor, the Committee considered
the terms under which the external auditor may be appointed to
perform non-audit services, mindful of the ethical standards for
auditors and auditor independence.
International Public Partnerships Limited
Annual Report and financial statements 2025
90
During the year, the Company’s non-audit services policy was
updated to reflect the amendments introduced by the 2024 FRC
Ethical Standard. Under the Company’s policy for non-audit services,
there is a list of permitted services for which the external auditor
may be engaged, where the Committee considers that the provision
of such services would not necessarily impact its independence.
Potential services to be provided by the external auditor with an
expected value of up to £50,000, and which are permitted by the
policy, must be pre-approved by the Chair of the Committee; any
services above this value require pre-approval by the full Audit and
Risk Committee. Non-audit fees represented 9% of total audit fees
during the year under review, relating only to the half-yearly review.
PwC confirmed to the Committee that they have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and reported
all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on their independence, together with any related safeguards.
Further details on the amounts of non-audit fees paid to the auditor
are set out in note 7 to the financial statements. These were reported
to us and were not considered to be a significant risk impacting the
objectivity and independence of PwC as external auditor.
Review of auditor effectiveness
The Committee performs an annual review of the objectivity, quality and
effectiveness of the audit, with consideration where appropriate given to
FRC Audit Quality Inspection Reports and FRC Practice Aid guidance.
The Committee conducted an in-depth review of the auditor’s
performance, and the Committee was satisfied in this regard. This was
facilitated through discussions with the external auditor, the completion
of a questionnaire by relevant stakeholders (including members of the
Committee and senior members of the Investment Adviser’s finance
team), review and challenge of the audit plan for consistency with the
Company’s financial statement risks, and review of the audit findings
report. In accordance with the relevant Corporate Governance Code
principles, the Committee will continue to review the effectiveness of
the external auditor in line with best practice.
Review of auditor’s remuneration
The Committee carried out a review of the proposed audit fees
for 2025. The audit fee for the Group (including unconsolidated
subsidiaries) increased on the prior year as a result of inflation and
scope changes. The Committee considers that the audit fees for
the current year are in line with market and therefore represent good
value for money for the Company’s shareholders.
Audit tendering and tenure
The Committee annually considers the reappointment of the external
auditor, including rotation of the audit partner. The external auditor is
required to rotate the audit partner responsible for the Group audit
every five years and the year to 31 December 2025 was the fifth
year for John Luff, the current lead audit partner. The Committee
and Amber have both been actively engaged with the auditor during
the process of partner rotation to ensure a smooth process and an
appropriate outcome for the Company’s audit.
RISK MANAGEMENT
During the year, the Committee continued to ensure that the
Company’s risk management framework and processes remained
effective in managing the Company’s risks. Areas of note for the
year are discussed below. A review of significant developments
relating to the Company’s risks arising in the year can be found in
the Risk Management section of this Report, starting on page 62.
Viability assessment
The Committee carried out a robust assessment of the principal
and emerging risks facing the Company with a view to identify risks
which may impact the Company’s viability. Detailed stress tests,
including an impact assessment on the Company’s forecasted
cash flows, showed significant resilience in the Company’s ability
to remain viable. The results of the risk assessment process are
detailed in the Viability Statement on page 75.
Controls review
As part of the Company’s ongoing cycle of annual controls reviews,
during the year the independent external review of the Company’s
controls framework in relation to ESG data collection was finalised.
The review concluded that the controls in place are suitably
designed and effective in the management of ESG data collection,
quantification and disclosure. Topics for the next controls review
cycle were considered, with the next review expected to be carried
out over the coming year.
Climate change
The Committee continued to strengthen the Company’s approach
to managing climate change risk. During the year, continued efforts
were made to embed climate change further in the reporting and
risk management process. Further details can be found in the
Responsible Investment section from page 52, and in the review
ofprincipal and emerging risks, from page 62.
REGULATORY AND TAX ENVIRONMENT
The Committee received regular reports from the Administrator and
Investment Adviser on regulation and regulatory developments. The
Company continues to maintain compliance with the requirements
of the Common Reporting Standard, the Retail distribution of
unregulated collective investment schemes (regulation which the
Company remains excluded from), the UK Criminal Finance Act
2017, AIFMD, The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (‘FATCA’),
and UK Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products
(EU Exit) Regulations 2019 as amended (‘UK PRIIPs’).
The Committee reviewed the Company’s adherence to the Audit
Committees and the External Audit: Minimum Standard (issued by
the FRC during 2023), and concluded that the Company meets or
exceeds the requirements contained therein. The Committee notes
that in respect of the requirement to review the FRC’s annual report
on the auditor as part of their oversight of auditor responsibilities,
that the FRC’s reports on Crown Dependency audit firms are
confidential private documents and therefore the Committee instead
held discussions with the external auditors to ascertain whether any
issues were raised in the FRC’s report on the audit firm that needed
to be brought to the attention of the Committee.
FOCUS FOR 2026
As well as the matters mentioned above, the Committee will
continue to focus on the impacts arising from the current economic
environment and wider market sentiment, keep focus on regular and
routine matters, as well as continuing to monitor any political, tax
and regulatory developments in its applicable geographies.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
INTRODUCTION
The Directors present their Annual Report on the performance of
theCompany and Group for the year ended 31 December 2025.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The Company is a limited liability, Guernsey-incorporated and
domiciled, authorised closed-ended investment company under
Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. The Company’s shares are listed
on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and are traded on the
main market of the London Stock Exchange. The Chair’s Letter and
Strategic Report contain a review of the business during the year.
ACorporate Governance Report is provided on pages 77 to 93.
DIRECTORS’ INDEMNITIES
The Company has made qualifying third-party indemnity provisions
for the benefit of its Directors, which were made during the year
andremain in force at the date of this Report.
SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDINGS
As at 31 December 2025, the Company had been notified, in
accordance with Chapter 5 of the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules, of the following interests in 5% or more of the
Company’s Ordinary Shares to which voting rights are attached:
Name of holder % Issued capital
No. of
Ordinary Shares Date notified
Rathbones
Investment Mgt 11.37 206,187,285 6 May 2022
On 24 February 2025, a TR-1 Standard form for notification of
major holdings was issued to declare that Rathbones Investment
Management Ltd hold 14.99% issued capital and 280,270,488
shares in the Company. Investec Wealth & Investment has been
apart of Rathbones Group Plc since 2023.
DIRECTORS’ AUTHORITY TO BUYBACK SHARES AND
TREASURY SHARES
The Company commenced its share buyback programme in
January 2024. The Company recently reported an increase to the
buyback programme of up to £225m, to run until 31 March 2027.
As at 31 December 2025, £120.6m worth of shares had been
bought back. It is intended that the return of capital will be funded
by a combination of divestments and surplus operating cash
flow generated. While it is expected that the programme may be
delivered through share buybacks, other forms of capital returns
may also be considered.
The current authority of the Company to make market purchases
ofup to 14.99% of the issued Ordinary Share Capital expires on
2 June 2026. The Company will seek to renew such authority
at the AGM to take place on 3 June 2026. Any buyback of
Ordinary Shares will be made subject to Guernsey law and within
any guidelines established from time-to-time by the Board and
the making and timing of any buybacks will be at the absolute
discretionof the Board.
Purchases of Ordinary Shares will only be made through the
market at prices below the prevailing NAV of the Ordinary Shares
(as last calculated) where the Directors believe such purchases will
enhance shareholder value. Such purchases will also only be made
in accordance with the Listing Rules of the UK Listing Authority,
which provide that the price to be paid must not be more than 5%
above the average of the middle market quotations for the Ordinary
Shares for the five business days before the shares are purchased
(unless previously advised to shareholders). No such shares were
bought back by the Company during the prior year. Up to 10% of
the Company’s shares may be held as treasury shares.
GOING CONCERN
The Company and Group’s business activities, together with
the factors likely to affect the Company’s future development,
performance and position, are set out in the Strategic Report on
pages 04 to 07. The financial position, cash flows, liquidity position
and borrowing of the Company and Group are described in the
financial statements from page 100.
The Directors have considered significant areas of possible financial
risk, and comprehensive financial forecasts have been prepared and
submitted to the Board for review. The Directors have, based on the
information contained in these forecasts and the assessment of the
committed banking facilities in place, formed a judgement, at the
time of approving the financial statements, that the Company (and
consolidated subsidiaries) have adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the 15-month going concern assessment
review period, and at least 12 months from the approvals of these
financial statements.
After consideration, the Directors are satisfied that it is
appropriateto adopt the going concern basis in preparing
thefinancial statements.
DIRECTOR DECLARATION
Each person who is a Director at the date of approval of this
AnnualReport confirms that:
So far as the Director is aware, there is no relevant audit
information of which the Company’s external auditor is unaware;
Each Director has taken all the steps that he/she ought to have
taken as a Director in order to make himself/herself aware of any
relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s
auditor is aware of that information. This confirmation is given and
should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions ofSection
249 of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The Directors are responsible for preparing financial statements
for each year which give a true and fair view, in accordance
with applicable Guernsey law and UK adopted international
accounting standards, of the state of affairs of the Company and
itsconsolidated subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) and of the profit or loss
ofthe Group for that year. In preparing those financial statements,
the Directors are required to:
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them
consistently;
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable;
State whether applicable accounting standards have been
followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the financial statements; and

unlessit is inappropriate to presume that the Group will
continuein business.
The Directors confirm that they have complied with the above
requirements in preparing the financial statements.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting
records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the
financial position of the Group and enable them to ensure that the
financial statements comply with the Companies (Guernsey) Law,
2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the
Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention
and detection of fraud, error and non-compliance with law
andregulations.
The maintenance and integrity of the Company’s website is the
responsibility of the Directors; the work carried out by the auditor
does not involve considerations of these matters and, accordingly,
the auditor accepts no responsibility for any change that may
have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially
presented on the website. Legislation in Guernsey governing the
preparation and dissemination of the financial statements may
differfrom legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS LIMITED
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OUR OPINION
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of International Public
Partnerships Limited (the “company”) and its subsidiaries (together “the group”) as at 31 December 2025, and of their consolidated financial
performance and their consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards
and have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.
WHAT WE HAVE AUDITED
The group’s consolidated financial statements comprise:
the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2025;
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended; and
the notes to the consolidated financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”). Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
INDEPENDENCE
We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial
statements of the group, which includes those required by the Crown Dependencies’ Audit Rules and Guidance. We have also fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
OUR AUDIT APPROACH
OVERVIEW
Audit scope
The company is a closed-ended investment company, incorporated in Guernsey, whose ordinary shares are admitted to trading on the
Main Market of the London Stock Exchange;
The group comprises both consolidated and unconsolidated entities. As disclosed under note 1 to the consolidated financial statements,
the company meets the definition of an ‘investment entity’ in accordance with IFRS 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ and therefore
accounts for its subsidiaries, with the exception of certain subsidiaries that are not themselves investment entities, at fair value through
profit or loss under IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’. The company only consolidates those subsidiaries that are not themselves investment
entities and whose main purpose is to provide services relating to the company’s investment activities;
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Guernsey principally using the consolidated financial information
and supporting documentation provided by Amber Fund Management Limited (“Amber”) and Ocorian Administration (Guernsey) Limited
(“Ocorian”); both of whom the board of directors have delegated the provision of certain functions to; and
We tailored the scope of our audit and structured our audit team to incorporate support from our PwC valuation experts, taking into
account the nature and industry sector of the assets held within the investment portfolio; the involvement of third parties referred to above
and the accounting processes and controls.
Key audit matters
Risk of fraud in revenue recognition
Fair value measurement of investments at fair value through profit or loss
Materiality
Overall group materiality: £68.7million (2024: £67.9million) based on 2.5% of Equity attributable to equity holders of the parent (i.e. net
asset value).
Performance materiality: £51.5million (2024: £50.9million).

THE SCOPE OF OUR AUDIT
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial
statements. In particular, we considered where the directors made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting
estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also
addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence
of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in the auditor’s professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated
financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to
fraud) identified by the auditor, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in
the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters, and any comments we make on the results of our procedures
thereon, were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
This is not a complete list of all risks identified by our audit.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Risk of fraud in
revenue recognition
Interest income of £100.3
million and dividend
income of £101.9 million,
as disclosed in the
consolidated statement
of comprehensive income
and note 4, are measured
in accordance with
their respective stated
accounting policies.
Given the significance
of these amounts, we
considered the risk that
management may seek
to manipulate revenue
in order to report the
desired level of return
to investors, to be a
significant audit risk, and
accordingly this has been
reported as a key audit
matter.
We assessed that the interest and dividend income recognition accounting policies are in compliance with
the financial reporting framework and checked that these have been applied appropriately.
We understood and evaluated the internal control environment in place at the group around the recognition
of interest and dividend income.
We performed the following substantive audit procedures to test revenue and check for any indication of
fraudulent manipulation:
On a sample basis, we agreed dividend income to the relevant supporting documentation, including
dividend notices or board approvals, and traced the cash receipts to the relevant bank statements;
On a sample basis, we recalculated interest income based on the contractual agreements in place;
On a sample basis, we traced the cash received from interest income to the relevant bank statements,
and checked that any interest due but not received is appropriately accrued for at year end;
We ensured that interest and dividends were recorded in the correct financial year by recalculating
accrued interest based on contractual terms and inspecting supporting evidence for recorded
dividends. We obtained further evidence over cut-off through our audit work performed on investment
valuations, specifically through ‘lookback’ testing in which we compared the actual vs forecasted cash
flows and investigated variances exceeding an established threshold; and
We included specific consideration of any unusual journals impacting revenue within our journals testing
as well as consideration of post year end journals to check for indications of cut-off concerns.
We have no matters to report in respect of this key audit matter.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Fair value
measurement of
investments at fair
value through profit or
loss (‘investments’)
The investment portfolio,
valued at £2.6 billion at
year end as disclosed in
the consolidated balance
sheet and note 11,
comprises investments in
infrastructure companies
which largely generate
long-term predictable
cash flows.
The valuation of the
group’s investment
portfolio involves
complexity and subjective
management estimates
as disclosed in note
2 to the consolidated
financial statements.
The magnitude of the
amounts involved means
that there is the potential
for material misstatement.
Since the driver of the
group’s net asset value
is the valuation of the
investment portfolio, this
is the key area of focus
for stakeholders and a
significant audit risk area,
and accordingly this has
been reported as a key
audit matter.
We assessed the investment valuation accounting policy for compliance with the financial reporting
framework and checked that the investments have been measured accordingly.
We understood and evaluated the group’s processes, internal controls and methodology applied in
determining the fair value of the investment portfolio and tailored our audit approach accordingly.
We tested the controls, which in our judgment are key in relation to investments at fair value through profit
or loss, by inspecting evidence of appropriate review and approval of the significant assumptions impacting
the valuation models (including macroeconomic assumptions and discount rates), as well as the quarterly
performance and actual vs forecast distribution variance analysis and certain investment model review controls.
We performed the following substantive procedures:
We assessed the appropriateness of the discount rates and key macro-economic assumptions which
impact the entire investment portfolio valuation, with the support of our valuation experts and reference to
our industry understanding and assessment of the fair value analysis prepared by Amber on behalf of, and
subject to the review and approval of the Directors.
We obtained the overall fair value reconciliation of opening to closing fair value from Amber and
corroborated significant fair value movements during the year, thereby assessing the reasonableness and
completeness of the movements in fair value for the year.
We stratified the investment portfolio based on the nature of the underlying assets and performed
a ‘lookback’ comparison of the forecast vs actual cash flows for the current financial year for each
stratification category.
On a sample basis, we performed detailed testing on valuation models and significant inputs for the
selected sample, which was selected via risk and value-based targeted sampling comprising 66% of the
investment portfolio by value. This testing entailed challenging key inputs in the models and obtaining
appropriate supporting documentation and evidence.
With the support of our PwC valuation experts, we corroborated and challenged the significant assumptions
made by management in valuing the risk-based selected sample of assets, as well as reviewed the
sensitivity analysis of key assumptions performed by Amber and checked the reasonableness of the
overall valuation of these assets with reference to comparable market transactions and our experts’
market knowledge.
Further substantive tests performed over the risk and value-based sample of investments included:
Back testing comparison of the forecast vs actual cash flows for the current financial year earned on each
individual asset in the sample; and
Utilisation of a software tool to test the model integrity for each individual asset selected in our sample.
In addition to the controls testing and substantive testing performed over the entire investment portfolio, as
detailed above, we performed a risk-based year on year variance analysis to identify, and investigate, any
unusual movements within the remaining 34% of the portfolio.
On a sample basis, we obtained third party evidence of investment holdings and corroborated the details
obtained with the records held by the group and those used for investment valuation purposes to ascertain
ownership and existence.
We have no matters to report in respect of this key audit matter.
HOW WE TAILORED THE AUDIT SCOPE
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the group, the accounting processes and controls, the industry in which the
group operates, and we considered the risk of climate change and the potential impact thereof on our audit approach.
We have considered whether the consolidated subsidiary entities included within the group comprise separate components for the purpose
of our audit scope. However, having taken account of the group’s financial reporting systems and the related controls in place at Ocorian
and Amber, and based on our professional judgement, we have tailored our audit scope to account for the group’s consolidated financial
statements as a single component.
International Public Partnerships Limited
Annual Report and financial statements 2025

MATERIALITY
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. We set certain quantitative thresholds for materiality. These, together
with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures on
the individual financial statement line items and disclosures and in evaluating the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate
on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as follows:
Overall group materiality £68.7 million (2024: £67.9 million).
How we determined it 2.5% of the Equity attributable to Equity holders of the parent (i.e. net asset value).
Rationale for benchmark applied
We believe that net assets is the most appropriate benchmark because this is the key metric of
interest to investors. It is also a generally accepted measure used for companies in this industry.
We use performance materiality to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected
misstatements exceeds overall materiality. Specifically, we use performance materiality in determining the scope of our audit and the nature
and extent of our testing of account balances, classes of transactions and disclosures, for example in determining sample sizes. Our performance
materiality was 75% (2024: 75%) of overall materiality, amounting to £51.5 million (2024: £50.9 million) for the group financial statements.
In determining the performance materiality, we considered a number of factors – the history of misstatements, risk assessment and
aggregation risk and the effectiveness of controls – and concluded that an amount at the upper end of our normal range was appropriate.
We agreed with the those charged with governance that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above
£3.4 million (2024: £3.4 million) as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
REPORTING ON OTHER INFORMATION
The other information comprises all the information included in the Annual Report and Financial Statements (the “Annual Report”) but does
not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in
the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report based on these responsibilities.
RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE AUDIT
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards, the requirements
of Guernsey law and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors
either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level
of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
Our audit testing might include testing complete populations of certain transactions and balances, possibly using data auditing techniques.
However, it typically involves selecting a limited number of items for testing, rather than testing complete populations. We will often seek to
target particular items for testing based on their size or risk characteristics. In other cases, we will use audit sampling to enable us to draw a
conclusion about the population from which the sample is selected.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS LIMITED continUeD
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made
by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group’s ability to
continue as a going concern over a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue
as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether
the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the
direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our
audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in
our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
USE OF THIS REPORT
This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the members as a body in accordance with Section 262 of The
Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any
other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our
prior consent in writing.
REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
COMPANY LAW EXCEPTION REPORTING
Under The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit;
proper accounting records have not been kept; or
the consolidated financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records.
We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The UK Listing Rules require us to review the directors’ statements in relation to going concern, longer-term viability and that part of the
corporate governance statement relating to the company’s compliance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified
for our review. Our additional responsibilities with respect to the corporate governance statement as other information are described in the
Reporting on other information section of this report.
The company has reported compliance against the AIC Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”) which has been endorsed by the UK
Financial Reporting Council as being consistent with the UK Corporate Governance Code for the purposes of meeting the company’s
obligations, as an investment company, under the UK Listing Rules of the FCA.
Based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we have concluded that each of the following elements of the corporate governance
statement, included within the Strategic Report and Corporate Governance sections is materially consistent with the consolidated financial
statements and our knowledge obtained during the audit, and we have nothing material to add or draw attention to in relation to:
The directors’ confirmation that they have carried out a robust assessment of the emerging and principal risks;
The disclosures in the Annual Report that describe those principal risks, what procedures are in place to identify emerging risks and an
explanation of how these are being managed or mitigated;
The directors’ statement in the consolidated financial statements about whether they considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing them, and their identification of any material uncertainties to the group’s ability to continue to do so over a
period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements;
The directors’ explanation as to their assessment of the group’s prospects, the period this assessment covers and why the period is
appropriate; and
The directors’ statement as to whether they have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operation and
meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of its assessment, including any related disclosures drawing attention to any necessary
qualifications or assumptions.
Our review of the directors’ statement regarding the longer-term viability of the group was substantially less in scope than an audit and
only consisted of making inquiries and considering the directors’ process supporting their statements; checking that the statements are
in alignment with the relevant provisions of the Code; and considering whether the statement is consistent with the consolidated financial
statements and our knowledge and understanding of the group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit.
In addition, based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we have concluded that each of the following elements of the corporate
governance statement is materially consistent with the consolidated financial statements and our knowledge obtained during the audit:
The directors’ statement that they consider the Annual Report, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable, and provides the
information necessary for the members to assess the group’s position, performance, business model and strategy;
The section of the Annual Report that describes the review of effectiveness of risk management and internal control systems; and
The section of the Annual Report describing the work of the Audit and Risk Committee.
We have nothing to report in respect of our responsibility to report when the directors’ statement relating to the company’s compliance with
the Code does not properly disclose a departure from a relevant provision of the Code specified under the UK Listing Rules for review by
the auditors.
OTHER MATTER
The company is required by the Financial Conduct Authority Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules to include these consolidated
financial statements in an annual financial report prepared under the structured digital format required by DTR 4.1.15R – 4.1.18R and filed on
the National Storage Mechanism of the Financial Conduct Authority. This auditor’s report provides no assurance over whether the structured
digital format annual financial report has been prepared in accordance with those requirements.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
International Public Partnerships Limited is a closed-ended authorised investment company incorporated in Guernsey under the Companies
(Guernsey) Law, 2008. The address of the registered office is given on the inside back cover. The nature of the Group’s (‘Parent and consolidated
subsidiary entities’) operations and its principal activities are set out on pages 10 to 11.
These financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling as this is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group
operates and represents the functional currency of the Parent and all values are rounded to the nearest (£’000), except where otherwise indicated.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (‘IFRS’), applicable
legal and regulatory requirements of Guernsey, and the Listing Rules of the UK Listing Authority. These financial statements follow the
historical cost basis, except for financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss and derivatives that have been measured at fair value.
The principal accounting policies adopted are set out in relevant notes to the financial statements.
The Directors have determined that International Public Partnerships Limited is an investment entity as defined by IFRS 10 on the basis that
the Company:
a) Obtains funds from one or more investor(s) for the purpose of providing those investor(s) with investment management services;
b) Commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income,
or both; and
c) Measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.
Accordingly, these financial statements consolidate only those subsidiaries that provide services relevant to its investment activities,
such as management services, strategic advice and financial support to its investees, and that are not themselves investment entities.
Subsidiaries that do not provide investment-related services are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance
with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
GOING CONCERN
The Directors have reviewed cash flow forecasts prepared by management. Based on those forecasts, consideration of the Group’s
operating costs and obligations as well as capital commitments, and an assessment of the Group’s committed banking facilities, it has
been considered appropriate to prepare these consolidated financial statements of the Group on a going concern basis. In arriving at their
conclusion that the Group has adequate financial resources, the Directors were mindful that the Group had unrestricted cash of £54.5m as
at 31 December 2025. The Company continues to fully cover operating costs and distributions from underlying cash flows from investments.
The Company has access to a CDF of £300m, which includes a flexible ‘accordion’ component of £50m. At the date of this Report, the CDF
remains undrawn with £249.7m committed by letters of credit. A £20m portion of the facility is available to be utilised for working capital
purposes. The facility is available until April 2028 and is forecast to continue in full compliance with the associated banking covenants.
The facility is available for investment in new and existing assets.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in this set of financial statements as applied in the
previous financial year. The new and revised IFRS and interpretations becoming effective in the period have had no material impact on the
accounting policies of the Group. Note 20 sets out a comprehensive listing of all new standards applicable from 1 January 2025.
2. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
INVESTMENT ENTITY
In the judgement of the Directors, International Public Partnerships Limited has been accounted for as an investment entity as defined
by IFRS 10, further details of which are given in note 1, Basis of preparation.
FAIR VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS
Fair values are a critical estimate and are determined using the income approach which discounts the expected cash flows at a rate
appropriate to the risk profile of each investment. In determining the discount rate, relevant long-term government bond yields, specific
investment risks and evidence of recent transactions are considered. Details of the valuation process and key sensitivities are provided
in note 11.

3. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
Based on a review of information provided to the chief operating decision makers of the Group (determined to be the Board), the Group has
identified four reportable segments based on the geographical risk associated with the jurisdictions in which it operates. The factors used to
identify the Group’s reportable segments are centred on the risk-free rates and the maturity of the infrastructure sector within each region.
Further, foreign exchange and political risk is identified, as these also determine where resources are allocated. The four reportable segments
are UK & CI, Europe (excl. UK), North America and Australia & New Zealand.

4. INVESTMENT INCOME
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Interest income
Interest income is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can
be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time-apportioned basis and is recognised gross of withholding tax, if any.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised gross of withholding tax on the date the Company’s right to receive the dividend income is established.
Net change in investments at fair value through profit or loss
Net change in investments at fair value through profit or loss represents unrealised fair value changes.

8. FINANCE COSTS AND BANK LOANS
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Interest bearing loans and overdrafts are initially recorded as the proceeds received net of any directly attributable issue costs. Subsequent
measurement is at amortised cost, with borrowing costs recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year
in which they are incurred, using the effective interest rate method. Arrangement fees are amortised over the term of the CDF.
Finance costs for the year were £3.2m (December 2024: £4.0m). The Group has a CDF with £300m available on a fully committed
basis, this includes a flexible ‘accordion’ component of £50m. The interest rate margin on the CDF in the year was 170 basis points over
SONIA. The current banking group for the facility consists of National Australia Bank, the Royal Bank of Scotland International, ING Bank
Internationale Nederlanden Groep and Barclays Bank. As at December 2025 the facility was undrawn (December 2024: undrawn), with
£249.7m committed under letter of credit (December 2024: £16.4m drawn under letter of credit). The uncommitted balance of the facility
which was not cash drawn or notionally drawn via letters of credit, was c.£50.3m (December 2024: £236.5m).
9. TAX CHARGE
ACCOUNTING POLICY
Current tax is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income as it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in past or future years and it further
excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s asset/liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. The current tax charge/credit in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
Income is recognised net of receivables recognised for losses surrendered to unconsolidated subsidiary entities.
Under the current system of taxation in Guernsey, the Company itself is exempt from paying taxes on income, profits or capital gains. Dividend
income and interest income received by the Group may be subject to withholding tax imposed in the country of origin of such income.

exception, underlying investee entity tax is not consolidated within these financial statements.

Calculated on the basis of outstanding shares (excluding shares held in treasury from buyback activity). The denominator for the purposes
of calculating both basic and diluted earnings per share is the same as the Group has not issued any share options or other instruments
that would cause dilution.
11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the instrument expire or the asset is transferred,
and the transfer qualifies for derecognition in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Financial liabilities are derecognised when
the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expired. Specific financial asset and liability accounting policies are provided below.

ACCOUNTING POLICY
The Group classifies its financial assets as at fair value through profit or loss or as financial assets at amortised cost. The classification
depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired, with investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries (other than those
providing investment-related services) being at fair value through profit or loss as required by IFRS 10.
Investments at fair value through profit or loss
Investments in underlying unconsolidated subsidiaries and other non-controlled investments are held in a portfolio, the business model of
which is to manage them on a fair value basis. The Group’s policy is to fair value both the equity and debt investments in underlying assets
together. All transaction costs relating to the acquisition of new investments are recognised directly in profit or loss. Subsequent to initial
recognition, equity and debt investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised within total investment income
in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables that meet the contracted cash flow test as sole payments of principal and interest and which are held in a
business model to receive these contractual cash flows are classified as trade and other receivables. Financial assets with maturities less
than 12 months are included in current assets, financial assets with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date are
classified as non-current assets.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CONTINUED
11.1 FINANCIAL ASSETS CONTINUED
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are classified as financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, held for trading. Derivatives are recognised
initially, and are subsequently remeasured, at fair value. Derivatives are shown as assets when their fair value is positive or as liabilities when
their fair value is negative. Fair value movements on derivative financial instruments held for trading are recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those classified at fair value through profit or loss, being trade and other receivables adopt a simplified approach
to calculate any expected credit losses.

ACCOUNTING POLICY
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities, other than those specifically accounted for under a separate policy, are measured at amortised cost and stated based on
the amounts which are considered to be payable in respect of goods or services received up to the financial reporting date. The accounting
policy for bank loans is included earlier in note 8.
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities held at amortised cost is considered to approximate their fair value.
11.3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s objective in managing risk is the protection of stakeholder value. Risk is inherent in the Group’s activities and is managed
through a process of ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring, subject to risk limits and other controls. The Group is exposed to
market risk (which includes currency risk, interest rate risk and inflation risk), credit risk and liquidity risk arising from the financial instruments
it holds. The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the overall risk management of the Group, with delegation of oversight and
activities (including identifying and controlling risks) provided to the Audit and Risk Committee and the Group’s Investment Adviser.
The Group’s risk management framework and approach is set out within the Strategic Report (pages 04 to 75). The Board takes into
account market, credit and liquidity risks in forming the Group’s risk management strategy.
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market variables such
as changes in inflation, foreign exchange rates and interest rates.
Inflation risk
The majority of the Group’s cash flows from underlying investments are linked to inflation indices. Changes in inflation rates can have a
positive or negative impact on the Group’s cash flows from investments. The long-term inflation assumptions applied in the Group’s valuation
of investments at fair value through profit or loss are disclosed in the fair value hierarchy section in note 11.4.
The Group’s portfolio of investments has been developed in anticipation of continued inflation at or above the levels used in the Group’s
valuation assumptions. Where inflation is at levels below the assumed levels for a sustained period of time, investment performance may be
impaired. The level of inflation-linkage* across the investments held by the Group varies and is not consistent.

11.3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT CONTINUED
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows from underlying investments, therefore
impacting the value of investments at fair value through profit or loss. The Group has limited exposure to interest rate risk as the underlying
borrowings within the unconsolidated investee entities are either hedged through interest rate swap arrangements via an economic hedge,
are fixed rate loans or the risk of adverse movement in interest rates is limited through protections provided by the regulatory regime.
For example, it is generally a requirement under a PFI/PPP concession that any borrowings are matched to the life of the concession.
Hedging activities are aligned with the period of the loan, which also mirrors the concession period and are highly effective. Nevertheless,
refinancing risk exists in a number of such investments. The Group’s CDF is unhedged on the basis that it is utilised as an investment
bridging facility and therefore drawn for a relatively short period of time. Therefore, the Group is not significantly exposed to cash flow risk
due to changes in interest rates over its variable rate borrowings. Interest income on bank deposits held within underlying investments is
included within the fair value of investments.
Foreign currency risk
The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies and therefore is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations.
Currency risk arises in financial instruments that are denominated in a foreign currency other than the functional currency in which they are
measured. The Group uses forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk of short-term volatility in foreign exchange on significant
investment returns from overseas investments via an economic hedge. The Group does not hedge its exposure to foreign exchange in
relation to foreign currency denominated investment balances. The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary
financial instruments at the reporting date are set out in the table below.
Sensitivity analysis showing the impact of variations of the above risks on the fair value of investments is shown in note 11.5.

CREDIT RISK
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group has
adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties and reviewing this on a regular basis at the underlying entity level. The majority of
underlying investments are in public-private partnerships and similar concessions (which are entered into with government, quasi government,
other public, equivalent low risk bodies), or in regulated businesses that inherently exhibit low levels of credit risk. The maximum exposure of
credit risk over financial assets as a result of counterparty default is the carrying value of those financial assets in the balance sheet. In addition,
the underlying investee entities contract with third-party construction and facilities managements contractors. The Group seeks to mitigate this
risk through using a diverse range of sub-contractors and through at least quarterly review of the credit position of major contractors.

International Public Partnerships Limited
Annual Report and financial statements 2025
LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group would encounter difficulty in meeting obligations as and when they fall due associated with
financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group invests in relatively illiquid investments (mainly non-
listed equity and loans). As a closed-ended investment vehicle there are no automatic capital redemption rights. The Group manages liquidity
risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities and by continuously monitoring forecast and
actual cash flows. Cash flow forecasts assume full availability of underlying infrastructure to the relevant public sector body or end-user.
Failure to maintain assets available for use or operating in accordance with pre-determined performance standards or licence conditions may
lead to a reduction (wholly or partially) in the investment income that the Group has projected to receive. The Directors review the underlying
performance of each investment on a quarterly basis, allowing asset performance to be monitored. The terms of public-private partnership
contractual mechanisms also allow for significant pass-down of unavailability and performance risk to sub-contractors. Regulated asset
regimes allow for the pass through of efficiently incurred costs to the purchaser. The Group’s financial liabilities comprise trade and other
payables, payable within 12 months of the year end, derivative financial instruments.
11.4 FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows,
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted market prices in an active market (that are unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly
or indirectly observable);
Level 3 — Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable).
During the year, there were no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 categories.
Level 1:
The Group has no financial instruments classified as Level 1.
Level 2:
This category includes derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, RPI swaps and currency forward contracts.
As a 31 December 2025, the Group’s only derivative financial instruments were currency forward contracts amounting to an asset
of £2.1m (December 2024: asset of £3.2m).
Financial instruments classified as Level 2 have been valued using models whose inputs are observable in an active market (spot exchange
rates, yield curves, interest rate curves). Valuations based on observable inputs include financial instruments such as swaps and forward
contracts which are valued using market standard pricing techniques where all the inputs to the market standard pricing models
are observable.
Level 3:
This category consists of investments in equity and loan instruments in underlying unconsolidated subsidiary entities and other non-
controlled investments which are classified at fair value through profit or loss. At 31 December 2025, the fair value of financial instruments
classified within Level 3 totalled £2,641.6m (December 2024: £2,593.1m).
Financial instruments are classified within Level 3 if their valuation incorporates significant inputs that are not based on observable market
data (unobservable inputs). A valuation input is considered observable if it can be directly observed from transactions in an active market,
or if there is compelling external evidence demonstrating an executable exit price.
Valuation process
Valuations are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. The valuation of unlisted equity and debt investments is performed on a quarterly
1
basis by the Investment Adviser. The valuation is reviewed by the senior members of the Investment Adviser and reviewed and approved
by the Board.
1 Indicative valuations are calculated in respect of each at 31 March and 30 September.

11.4 FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY CONTINUED
Valuation methodology
The valuation methodologies used are primarily based on discounting the underlying investee entities’ future projected net cash flows
at appropriate discount rates. Valuations are also reviewed against recent market transactions for similar assets in comparable markets
observed by the Group or Investment Adviser and adjusted where appropriate.
Cash flow forecasts for the full-term of each underlying investment are generated by detailed investment specific financial models.
These models forecast the dividend, shareholder loan interest payments, capital repayments and senior debt repayments (where applicable)
expected from the underlying investments. The cash flows included in the forecasts used to determine fair value are typically fixed under
contracts, however there are certain variable cash flows which are based on management’s estimations (see also page 49 of the strategic
report). The significant unobservable inputs and assumptions used in projecting the Group’s net future cash flows are shown overleaf.

Discount rates
Discount rates as a whole are considered to be an unobservable input for the purposes of IFRS13. The discount rate used in the valuation
of each investment has been determined with reference to:
Yield on a government bond with a remaining term equivalent to (or as close as possible to) the investment being valued, issued by the
national government for the location of the relevant investment (‘government bond yield’);
Investment risk premium, compromising:
A premium to reflect the inherent greater risk in investing in infrastructure assets over government bonds;
A further premium to reflect the state of maturity of the asset with a larger premium applied to immature assets and/or assets in
construction and/or to reflect any current asset specific or operational issues. Typically, this risk premium will reduce over the life of
any asset as an asset matures, its operating performance becomes more established, and the risks associated with its future cash
flows decrease. However, the rate may increase in relation to investments with unknown residual values at the end of the relevant
concession life as that date nears;
A further adjustment reflective of market-based transaction valuation evidence for similar assets. Such adjustment is considered
to implicitly include the market’s assessment of the risk posed by climate factors to that particular investment.
Over the year, the weighted average government bond yield and weighted average investment risk premium saw only minor movements
reflecting observable market-based evidence.

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group seeks to efficiently manage its financial resources to ensure that it is able to continue as a going concern while providing
improved returns to shareholders through the management of the debt and equity balances. The capital structure consists of the Group’s
CDF and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. The Group aims
to deliver its objective by investing available cash and using leverage whilst maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet ongoing expenses and
dividend payments. The Group’s investment policy is set out in the Corporate Governance Report on page 77.
The Group’s Investment Adviser reviews the capital structure on a semi-annual basis. As part of this review, the Investment Adviser considers
the cost of capital and the associated risks.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY ARRANGEMENTS
During the year, the Board and the Investment Adviser agreed to a change in the fee basis effective from 1 July 2025. For further information
on these changes see page 87.
Investment advisory fees payable during the year are calculated as follows:
Fee basis to 30 June 2025
Fee basis from 1 July 2025
For fully operational assets
1.2% for the first £750m The equal weighting of, (i) the average
1.0% for the amount that exceeds £750m but is less than £1.5bn The GAV of the portfolio of the closing daily market capitalisation,
0.9% for the amount that exceeds £1.5bn but is less than £2.75bn and (ii) the most recently published NAV
0.8% for the amount in excess of £2.75bn
For the portion of assets bearing construction risk
1.2% for the portion of the fee basis that bears construction risk
(i.e. the asset has not fully completed all construction stages The equal weighting of, (i) the average
including any relevant defects period and achieved certification The GAV of the portfolio of the closing daily market capitalisation,
by the relevant counterparty and senior lender) and (ii) the most recently published NAV
The IAA includes a provision to ensure that the amount of the base fee payable under the new fee arrangement cannot exceed the amount
payable under the existing arrangements.
Asset origination fees in connection with new acquisitions are charged at a rate of 1.5% of the value of new acquisitions.
The IAA can be terminated where less than 95% of the Group’s assets are available for use for certain periods and the Investment Adviser
fails to implement a remediation plan agreed with the Group. The IAA may also be terminated by either party giving to the other five years
notice of termination, expiring at any time after 10 years from the date of the IAA.
As at 31 December 2025, the Amber Group held 8,002,379 (December 2024: 8,002,379) shares in the Company. The shares held by the

NET ZERO
Net zero refers to balancing the amount of emitted greenhouse
gases with the equivalent emissions that are either offset or
sequestered. This should primarily be achieved through a rapid
reduction in carbon emissions, but where zero carbon cannot be
achieved, offsetting through carbon credits or sequestration through
rewilding or carbon capture and storage needs to be utilised

Annual Report and financial statements 2025
To what extent were the environmental and/or social characteristics
promoted by this financial product met?
Through its investments in infrastructure that support a sustainable society, the Company promotes
environmental and social characteristics but does not have sustainable investment as its objective and
does not invest in sustainable investments, as defined under the SFDR.
The Company has strengthened the alignment of its investment activity with the objectives of the Paris
Agreement, the recommendations of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) and
investments that positively contribute towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”).
In the course of the relevant reporting period, the Company ensured that these environmental and social
characteristics were met in accordance with the Company’s internal policies and procedures, and in the
following ways:
(a) Sustainable Development Goal Alignment
The Company draws on the SDGs to demonstrate the positive environmental and social characteristics of
its investments. Please refer to page 55 of this report for more information on the Company’s approach
to SDG alignment, and contribution during the period. This page highlights the primary SDGs that are
supported by the Company’s investments, alongside alignment of the full portfolio by fair value.
(b) Alignment with INPP’s Exclusion criteria
All investments met the Company’s exclusion criteria, which are summarised below.
The Company did not invest in infrastructure projects or associated businesses that had not demonstrated
the ability or willingness to manage current and future ESG risks effectively, unless as a result of its
involvement, the Company determined it would be able to significantly improve its ESG credentials.
This means the Company did not invest in businesses or sectors relating to arms, tobacco, pornography,
gambling, alcohol or any other sectors that have the potential to lead to human rights abuses. Equally,
the Company did not invest in any infrastructure assets or associated businesses that had an unacceptable
impact on the environment. The Company aligned its investment activities with the objectives of the Paris
Agreement and did not invest in any infrastructure projects or associated businesses that do not have the
potential to support/align with a low-carbon future.
Finally, the Company did not invest in infrastructure or associated businesses that have a track record of;
Corrupt practices;
Poor governance and ethics practices; or
Poor safety or environmental management.
Except for the exclusions stated above, the Company does not typically exclude infrastructure companies,
sectors or asset types based on any particular activity or ESG exposure. Instead, the Company prefers to
engage with the investments in its portfolio and use its position to influence positive change.
(c) Alignment with INPP’s minimum Governance standards
100% of the portfolio aligned with the Company’s minimum Governance standards. Please refer to page
56 of this report for more information.
(d) ESG incorporated through the investment process
ESG was considered for all new investments, following the process summarised below.
The consideration of ESG risks and opportunities is a formal element of the investment origination process.
Following a review against the Company’s exclusion criteria, every investment opportunity underwent a
130
International Public Partnerships Limited
Annual Report and financial statements 2025
detailed screening and due diligence process, which considered both potentially negative and positive
impacts. In line with international industry practice, potential investments were categorised as follows:
Category A Investments with the potential to cause adverse environmental and social risks and/or
impacts that are diverse, irreversible or unprecedented in the absence of mitigation;
Category B Investments with potential limited adverse environmental and social risks and/or
impacts that are few in number, generally site-specific, largely reversible and readily addressed
through mitigation measures; and
Category C Investments with minimal or no adverse environmental and social risks and/or impacts.
This categorisation then determined the level of due diligence undertaken.
For further information regarding ESG integration across the investment life cycle, please see page 10 of
the Sustainability Report.
How did the sustainability indicators perform?
Information regarding the performance of the Company’s investments against its Sustainable Development
Goal alignment and sustainability indicators are provided on pages 56 and 57 of this report and pages 24 and
30 of the Company’s Sustainability Report. In addition, 100% of investments met the Company’s exclusion
criteria, minimum governance standards and ESG incorporation into the investment process.
…and compared to previous periods?
Information regarding the performance of the Company's investments against its sustainability indicators, in
comparison to the previous period, is provided on page 57 of this report and page 30 of the Company’s
Sustainability Report.
Similarly, we confirm that there is no change to meeting the Company’s exclusion criteria, minimum governance
standards and ESG incorporation into the investment process. Please see a comparison of Sustainable
Development Goal alignment below.

How did this financial product consider principal adverse impacts on
sustainability factors?
Not applicable.
As detailed in the section entitled To what extent were the environmental and/or social characteristics
promoted by this financial product met?", every investment opportunity undergoes a detailed screening
and due diligence process during which the potential negative impacts that an investment may have on
an environmental and/or social characteristic are further considered. Those investments with potential
to cause environmental and social risks and/or impacts that are diverse, irreversible or unprecedented in
the absence of mitigation are subject to a higher level of due diligence to ensure that any risks are
sufficiently mitigated and opportunities realised.

What was the proportion of sustainability-related investments?
Not applicable as noted above, the Company promotes environmental and social characteristics but
does not have sustainable investment as its objective and therefore did not invest in sustainable
investments, as defined under the SFDR.
What was the asset allocation?
97% of the Company’s investments were used to attain the environmental or social characteristics of the
Company. The Company may hold cash reserves and/or enter into derivative transactions for the purposes
of ancillary liquidity, ongoing portfolio management and hedging. Given the purpose of these
investments, there are no minimum environmental and social safeguards applied to such investments. As
noted above, for the reporting period, the value of such “other” assets related to 3% of the Company’s
investments.
In which economic sectors were the investments made?
The Company’s investments were in infrastructure assets, in the following sectors: energy, transmission,
transport, education, gas distribution, waste water, health, family housing for service personnel, digital,
courts and custodial.
To what extent were the sustainable investments with an environmental
objective aligned with the EU Taxonomy?
In accordance with the criteria for sustainable investments under the SFDR, the Company does not have
a sustainable investment objective, nor has it committed to making sustainable investments. However,
this Annual Report includes a summary of an internal assessment of the Company's investments based
on the EU Taxonomy technical screening criteria outlined in the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139
(‘Climate Delegated Act’) and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486 (‘Environmental Delegated Act’).

criteria, which the Company reviewed as part of its internal assessment. For more information, please
refer to page 29 of the Company’s Sustainability Report.
52% of the Company’s investments, by portfolio value, were determined to be aligned with the EU
Taxonomy, further to the Company's internal assessment and based on the information provided by the
investment companies. Those Taxonomy-aligned investments contributed substantially to two of the
environmental objectives under the EU Taxonomy: (i) climate change mitigation and (ii) sustainable use
and protection of water and marine resources.
The Investment Adviser has determined that portfolio value is the most relevant indicator for calculating
the Taxonomy-alignment of its investments in infrastructure assets. The Company's Investment Adviser
has also sought to determine the proportion of Taxonomy-alignment using turnover, Capex and Opex, as
required for the purposes of disclosing in accordance with the charts below. For the purpose of these
calculations, the proportion of each Taxonomy-aligned investments' turnover, CapEx and OpEx that is
Taxonomy-aligned was weighted according to the proportional value of the Company's total investments.
Climate change mitigation-aligned investments meet the following environmentally sustainable
economic activities:
Transmission and distribution of energy
Passenger interurban rail transport
Construction and safe operation of new nuclear power plants, for the generation of electricity and/or
heat, including for hydrogen production, using best-available technologies
Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources aligned investments meet the following
environmentally sustainable economic activities:
Urban Waste Water Treatment
As noted above, the charts below provide details of turnover, CapEx and OpEx for those investments
estimated to be aligned with the EU Taxonomy. These investments include OFTOs, Reliance Rail, Diabolo,
Gold Coast Light Rail, Sizewell C (Climate Change mitigation), Tideway (Sustainable use and protection
of water and marine resources).
For completeness, the Company estimates that 59% of the portfolio is eligible for alignment with the EU
Taxonomy. The Company’s Investment Adviser is working to identify those investments that are eligible
for alignment with the EU Taxonomy but have not yet been determined to be aligned. They aim to gather
greater evidence of policies and procedures in place to ensure that all underlying criteria are met.
Therefore, the Investment Adviser has taken a conservative approach and determined that 0% of the
Company's remaining investments are Taxonomy-aligned. A contributing factor is that a significant
proportion of these investments are in the social infrastructure space, which is not considered under the
current iteration of the EU Taxonomy and its technical screening criteria for environmentally sustainable
economic activities.

activities complying with the EU Taxonomy

What was the share of investments made in transitional and enabling activities?
52% of investments made in the period were made in Taxonomy-aligned investments, including activities
that in and of themselves contribute substantially to one of the six environmental objectives (32%) and
enabling activities (20%).
How did the percentage of investments that were aligned with the EU Taxonomy
compare with previous reference periods?
The the percentage of investments that were aligned with the EU Taxonomy (52%) increased by 4%
compared with the previous reference period (48% in 2024).
What was the share of sustainable investments with an environmental
objective not aligned with the EU Taxonomy?
Not applicable
What was the share of socially sustainable investments?
Not applicable
What investments were included under “other”, what was their purpose and
were there any minimum environmental or social safeguards?
The Company may hold cash reserves and/or enter into derivative transactions for the purposes of
ancillary liquidity, ongoing portfolio management and hedging. Given the purpose of these investments,
there are no minimum environmental and social safeguards applied to such investments. As noted above,
for the reporting period, the value of such “other” assets related to 3% of the Company’s investments.
The graphs below show in green the percentage of investments that were aligned with the EU
Taxonomy. As there is no appropriate methodology to determine the taxonomy-alignment of sovereign
bonds*, the first graph shows the Taxonomy alignment in relation to all the investments of the financial
product including sovereign bonds, while the second graph shows the Taxonomy alignment only in
relation to the investments of the financial product other than sovereign bonds.
