5. Presented net of amounts related to the effective portion of forward exchange contracts and cross-currency interest rate swaps that hedge the principal component of the debt
Net financial debt increased over the half driven by:
• Investment into growth initiatives during H1 2026, with overall overhead costs expected to reduce during H2 through our operational efficiency programmes
• Repurchase of 37,971,536 shares for $100m as part of the share buyback programme. The Company increased the share buyback programme to $150m on 30 June 2026
• Working capital relating to, and payment for, roll-in acquisitions
• Annual cash bonus payments which were accrued at 31 December 2025
As discussed during our Q1 trading update on 12 May 2026, Net debt increased from $715m to $858m (an increase of $143m) as we rolled out automated supplier invoice software. Cash generation increased meaningfully in Q2, and despite returning $47m to shareholders via share buybacks, a dividend of $9m and small bolt-on M&A, net debt flattened out to $880m, an increase of $22m. This reflects underlying cashflow generation before corporate activities and M&A in Q2 of $36m.
The Company has no exposure to either interest rates or FX on its bonds - coupons are fixed coupon and bonds are hedged into USD.
We maintain our commitment to a BBB credit rating.
Christian Schmitz, Chief Executive Officer of International Workplace Group plc, said:
"Our strategy remains clear. We continue to expand our global coverage at pace, building an unrivalled network that extends from the world's largest cities to smaller towns and regional markets. Through our capital-light partnership model, we continue to increase customer choice while creating long-term value for our partners and shareholders."
Outlook and guidance
Despite the macroeconomic backdrop, centre signings and openings have continued to accelerate, enterprise customer enquiries and sales are increasing, revenue has accelerated and pricing has been positive. Inflationary pressures have been seen globally, and the Company has taken steps to reduce costs in H1 2026, the benefits of this will be seen in H2 2026 and beyond.
Accordingly, our expectations for 2026 remain unchanged. We maintain 2026 guidance as communicated at our Q1 trading update on 12 May 2026:
• Adjusted 2026 EBITDA of $585m-$625m
• Company-owned revenue growth of at least 4%
• Recurring management fee income of $80m
• Maintenance of an investment grade credit rating and leverage on a Net debt / EBITDA basis to finish 2026 slightly elevated compared to December 2025
Additionally, we expect cash flow performance in the second half of 2026 to be ahead of the prior year. We also reiterate our guidance of at least $1bn of adjusted EBITDA in the medium term.
We have announced $150m of share buybacks so far in 2026, ahead of $130m delivered in 2025, and we will update accordingly through 2026.

Chief Executive Officer's Review
The first half of 2026 has been another period of strong strategic execution for IWG. We have continued to expand our global network through our capital-light growth strategy, strengthening our market leadership while delivering against the priorities we set out at our Investor Day.
Our strategy remains clear. We continue to expand our global coverage at pace, creating an unrivalled network of professional workspace that extends from the world's largest cities to smaller towns and regional markets. Through our capital-light partnership model, we continue to increase customer choice while creating long-term value for our partners and shareholders.
Increasingly, our solutions are helping companies move away from the cost and inflexibility of long-term leases, replacing them with flexible, fully equipped workspace backed by access to more than 5,000 locations worldwide. This combination of flexibility, scale and convenience continues to differentiate IWG in the market.
Businesses are increasingly adopting capital-light operating models across every aspect of their organisations, and real estate is no exception. Companies want greater flexibility over their cost base, avoiding long-term commitments wherever possible in favour of more agile, scalable workspace solutions. As this structural shift gathers pace, demand for flexible workspace continues to grow, reinforcing the strength of our business model.
Strategy
Our strategy continues to deliver strong operational and commercial momentum. During the first half of 2026, we signed a record 728 new locations globally, achieved our highest ever revenues and further strengthened the reach of our platform.
The breadth of our network continues to create significant competitive advantages. Today, more than 80% of our customers use multiple IWG products and services, demonstrating the value of our platform and the increasing depth of customer engagement. At the same time, we continue to attract new partners seeking to maximise the value of their real estate through flexible workspace.
Alongside our network expansion, we continue to invest in technology, digital capabilities and marketing to support future growth, while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation.
Technology and AI
Advances in AI are accelerating the pace of change across every industry. As technology continues to evolve at extraordinary speed, the velocity of business is increasing and organisations are having to make decisions in an environment that is becoming harder to predict. For many, the challenge is no longer simply improving productivity, but understanding what their business, workforce and operational requirements will look like just a few years from now.
Our recent research found that 60% of CEOs and CFOs believe the rise of AI has made it impossible to know how much office space they will need in just two years' time. Against this backdrop, businesses are increasingly seeking workplace strategies that allow them to scale up or down quickly, reduce unnecessary fixed costs and give their people access to high-quality workspace wherever they need it. In an environment of constant technological change, organisations need the agility to adapt, and that is exactly what IWG's global platform is designed to deliver.
Alongside this, we continue to harness AI across our own operations to improve efficiency, enhance customer experience and increase the productivity and velocity of our own business.
Financial Performance
Our financial performance in the first half reflects continued momentum across the business and reinforces the strength of our strategy. Growth in our network, together with increasing demand for flexible workspace, positions us well for the remainder of the year.
The acceleration in revenue has also supported further share buybacks, while we have remained disciplined in our capital allocation and committed to generating sustainable cash flow alongside continued investment in long-term growth opportunities.
I would like to thank our colleagues across the world for their continued commitment and contribution during the first half. Their focus on serving customers, supporting our partners and executing our strategy has been instrumental in delivering another strong period of progress.
Looking Ahead
We enter the second half of the year with confidence. Our capital-light growth strategy, expanding global network and market-leading platform leave us well positioned to capture the significant opportunities created by the continued structural shift towards more flexible ways of working.
Our priorities remain unchanged: expanding our network, strengthening our partnerships, investing in our platform and delivering long-term value for customers, partners and shareholders.

Chief Financial Officer's Review
The first half of 2026 has been a strong period for the Group as we continue to deliver against the priorities we set out at our Investor Day. Our global network continues to have exceptional growth with 425 new centre openings and strong performance across both segments delivering a record six months of system-wide revenue of $2.4bn, Adjusted EBITDA of $265m and positive net income. We delivered capital returns to investors of $109m ($100m through share buybacks and $9m dividends). Net capex spend was aligned to expectations.
Net Debt was $880m at 30 June 2026 with underlying cash outflow before shareholder returns of $(55)m. As discussed during our Q1 trading update on 12 May 2026, Net debt increased from $715m to $858m (an increase of $143m) predominantly as a result of payment days falling markedly in Q1 from the introduction of automated invoice software. In Q2, Net debt increased from $858m to $880m, an increase of $22m. This increase in Q2 2026 is after returning $47m to shareholders via share buybacks, a final dividend payment of $9m and small bolt-on M&A activity. Therefore, cashflow generation before corporate activities and M&A in Q2 2026 was approximately $36m.
Furthermore, there has been significant investment into growth initiatives during H1 2026, with overall overhead costs expected to reduce in H2 2026 due to operational efficiencies which will have a positive impact on cashflow and Net Debt.
The balance sheet has been strengthened further with the RCF renewal, increasing the size and extended duration to 2031 from 2029, coupled with an increase in the 2032 Eurobond to €500m from €300m, leaving very little debt becoming due before 2030.

Segmental reporting
The Company is organised into two operating segments based on the types of services provided, namely Company-owned and Managed & Franchised. The Managed & Franchised segment carries no lease liabilities as IWG does not hold the underlying property leases when it manages a site on behalf of a third party.
Revenue
Group system-wide revenue increased by 11% to $2.4bn. Managed & Franchised segment continues to account for a larger share of System-wide revenue - now representing 22% (H1 2025: 18%). Group revenue increased by 6% to $2.0bn.
Our Managed & Franchised business delivered 36% system-revenue growth year-over-year to $535m (H1 2025: $392m) and $105m of segment revenue. Fee income increased by 60% to $80m (H1 2025: $50m), of which recurring management fees grew to $35m (H1 2025: $19m). The growth in this segment is driven by the unprecedented number of centre openings, 395 in the last six months, where signings continue to convert into openings at pace.
Company-owned delivered growth in segment revenue of 5% to $1.9bn.

Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR)
RevPAR is a monthly average KPI, defined as the system-wide revenue excluding the Managed Real Estate business (where IWG manage space on behalf of an enterprise customer with a back-to-back lease in place), and excluding centres opened and closed during the year, divided by the number of available rooms, which is defined as 7 square metres across all usable space. RevPAR is a well understood measure used across many industries and is particularly relevant to IWG as it incorporates all revenue received across IWG's expansive product portfolio.
Given the scale of growth and room additions that the Company is adding to the Network, RevPAR excluding centres opened in 2025 is presented below to show RevPAR progression excluding the impact of centres not yet mature. It is expected that the higher-growth segments will show a falling year-over-year RevPAR because new locations that have opened but are not yet mature are contained within the calculation.
Managed RevPAR is $164 (H1 2025: $180) and excluding 2025 openings is $232, being driven by new centre revenue performing in line with our plans. RevPAR in our franchised locations was $498 (H1 2025: $505) which is higher than in our Managed Partnerships locations due to: (a) franchise locations being predominantly in high RevPAR countries, in particular Japan and Switzerland; (b) the higher maturity of franchise locations which have been operating for many years. As we have previously disclosed, RevPAR on these additional Managed Partnerships rooms is targeted to be $250 at maturity.
RevPAR in Company-owned for H1 2026 was $407, up by 11% (H1 2025: $367). This is a result of the strategy to remove promotional activity at renewals, resulting in stronger pricing on a higher occupancy base.

Adjusted gross profit
Gross profit increased to $541m (H1 2025: $481m) and adjusted gross profit increased to $569m (H1 2025: $523m). Company-owned delivered an adjusted gross margin of 26% (H1 2025: 26%), we continue to expect margins to trend towards our 30% target in the medium term.
We have acquired some centres at highly attractive valuations with minimal cash outflow and no capital investment requirements, unlocking significant profitability potential through integration into our platform and leverage of our scale-driven cost efficiencies. This profitability is expected to start to be realised during H2 2026.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
Group SG&A increased in H1 2026 to $315m (H1 2025: $250m). Core overheads increased by $50m primarily as a result of the benefit of a one-off gain in H1 2025 and an increase of $24m in employee salary and bonus costs.
Discretionary overheads increased as we selectively invest in growth, specifically:
• $19m on the Partnership sales team, an additional investment of $5m year-over-year. Whilst our partnership sales team is an ongoing cost, we are expecting that the cost will be less than signings growth, therefore margins should continue to grow.
• $32m of marketing spend, an additional $10m year-over-year. This spend is expected to reduce significantly in H2 2026.
Operating Income
Operating Income decreased to $38m. The increase in gross profit was offset by year-over-year increases in SG&A of $65m, impairments and gain / loss on disposals of long-lived assets of $27m.

The Group reported a net finance expense of $58m (H1 2025: $56m). The increase is predominantly due to higher interest rates on Group debt following refinancing transactions completed in 2024 and 2025.
The net finance expense in 2026 includes cash interest of $54m related to borrowing facilities (H1 2025: $44m). All the Group's Eurobonds are hedged into USD using cross-currency interest rate swaps. Under the swap agreements, interest is paid semi-annually in Q2 and Q4. Other finance costs predominantly include commitment fees and bank charges on facilities such as the revolving credit facility and guarantees.
As of 30 June 2026, the cross-currency swaps had a positive fair value of $30m.

Taxation
The effective tax rate (after discrete items) is 95% and 50% for the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 2025, respectively, with the impact of non-deductible expenses as a proportion of pre-tax book income being a significant driver in both years. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by changes in the recognised deferred tax asset, predominantly in the US, for the six months ended 30 June 2025.
Given the Group's global footprint across over 120 countries, it is not possible to take advantage of tax grouping on a global basis. As a result, the aggregation of tax paid in individual countries can lead to a high effective tax rate on group profits in certain periods. Although it is difficult to predict the impact of developments in global taxation, as profitability of the Group increases it is expected that the effective tax rate will fall.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders in H1 2026 was a profit of 0.2c (H1 2025: profit of 1.1c). Adjusted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders in H1 2026 was a profit of 4.6c (H1 2025: profit of 2.3c).
The weighted average number of shares in issue during the period was 977,026,195 (H1 2025: 1,012,730,251). At 30 June 2026 the Group held 14,447,661 treasury shares (31 December 2025: 15,307,650). During the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 2025, share awards of 8,651,007 and 10,878,879, respectively, had a dilutive effect with a negligible impact on the basic earnings per share.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Group's Adjusted EBITDA increased to $265m (H1 2025: $262m).

Network growth
Unprecedented network expansion, increasing our footprint by 17% to 4,974 centres (H1 2025: 4,260). We opened 425 new centres (H1 2025: 338 centres) and rationalised (109) centres (H1 2025: (67) centres). Furthermore, 728 new centre deals were signed in H1 2026. Out of the 728 new deals signed 98% of the deals are capital-light which underpins our success of growing the network with minimal capital expenditure.
Of the 425 centres opened in H1 2026, 395 centres were capital-light openings which comprised managed partnership centres, variable rent centres, franchised centres and joint-venture centres. Only 30 centre openings were on a fully conventional basis.
Our estate of 4,974 centres as per the end of June 2026 is split into 45% or 2,230 in Managed & Franchised, and 2,744 centres in Company-owned, of which 734 have variable rents. Strong growth in Managed partnership openings is expected to continue through 2026.

The total proceeds from landlord contributions relating to the reimbursement of costs and lease incentives of $23m (H1 2025: $23m) are allocated between maintenance landlord contributions of $4m (H1 2025: $5m) and growth landlord contributions of $19m (H1 2025: $18m) |

1. Cash flow before growth capex, M&A, tax, finance cost on bank & other facilities, financing activities and dividends
Cash flow was negatively impacted by payments which were scheduled in 2025 but were paid at the start of 2026 and the roll out of automated invoice software in the first quarter which led to a significant reduction in payment days. This is reflected in a reduction in net amounts due to suppliers of $87m presented within accounts payables and accounts receivable, net.
Working capital relating to the depreciation of landlord contributions (cost reimbursements) on leased properties refers to historic cash contributions made by landlords for growth capex in the Company-owned segment (shown as growth-related partner contributions further down the cash flow statement) and is amortised over the lifetime of the corresponding lease.
Cash tax paid was $(24)m in H1 2026 (H1 2025: $(14)m) and primarily relates to corporate income tax and withholding taxes paid in various countries in which the Group operates. Finance costs paid on bank and other facilities was $(54)m in H1 2026 vs. $(44)m in H1 2025, the increase of which is due to the refinancing transactions completed in 2025.
Cash inflow before growth capex, financing and dividends was $(14)m in H1 2026 (H1 2025: $71m).
Total net capex was $75m in H1 2026 (H1 2025: $55m). Net maintenance capex was $42m in H1 2026 (H1 2025: $35m) and has evolved as expected, and, as previously guided, is expected to be around $100m and growing with inflation going forward. Net growth capex was $33m in H1 2026 (H1 2025: $20m), increasing primarily due to under US GAAP, capex is recognised when the cash is actually paid. Some accrued (unpaid) capex from 2024 was settled in H2 2025, which has driven a higher year‑on‑year net capex outflow on a US GAAP basis.

Financing
Net financial debt increased from 31 December 2025 driven by:
• Repurchase of 37,971,536 shares for $100m as part of the share buyback programme. The Company increased the share buyback programme to $150m on 30 June 2026, and will update accordingly
• Annual cash bonus payments, as accrued for at 31 December 2025 but paid in H1 2026
• The roll out of automated invoice software in the quarter led to payment days falling markedly over the course of Q1 2026
• On 23 June 2026, the 2032 Eurobond was increased to €500m from €300m, issuing an additional €200 million for proceeds of €204 million. The Company entered into a hedging arrangement to swap €200 million of the issuance and the related interest into $232 million, with a weighted-average fixed coupon of 6.585%
◦ The Company has minimal exposure to either interest or FX rates on its bonds - all bonds are fixed coupon with the first refinancing in 2030, and hedged into USD
◦ As a reminder, most of the 0.5% coupon Convertible Bond was put back to the Company in December 2025, and we will have a full year of interest costs of the €300m 5.125% Corporate Bond during 2026
• In July 2026, the RCF was renewed, increasing the size to $1bn and extending the duration to 2031 from 2029
Net debt
Net financial debt was $(880)m at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: $(715)m). The Group's total debt facilities, including details of drawings, is summarised below:

Dividends
In line with the Group's dividend policy, the Board has agreed to pay an interim dividend of 0.48¢ per share (H1 2025: 0.45¢ per share). The dividend is expected to be paid on 9 October 2026 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 11 September 2026. Dividends are declared in US dollars and paid in pounds sterling with an option for shareholders to elect to receive payment in US dollars. The foreign exchange rate at which the interim dividend will be converted into pounds sterling will be the New York closing rate on 11 September 2026.
Share buyback
In the first half of 2026, IWG repurchased 37,971,536 ordinary shares for $100m, equating to 3.7% of share capital outstanding. The programme average purchase price was £1.96. A $50m tranche of a new programme for 2026 was announced on 30 June 2026. All share buybacks have been carried out in accordance with the authorisation granted by Shareholders.

Risk management
Effective management of risk is an ongoing concern for the Group, and crucially, integral to our growth planning. A detailed assessment of the principal risks and uncertainties which could impact the Group's long-term performance and the risk management structure in place to identify, manage and mitigate such risk will be included in the 2026 Annual Report and Accounts.
Related parties
There have been no changes to the type of related party transactions entered into by the Group that had a material effect on the financial statements for H1 2026. Details of related party transactions that have taken place in the period can be found in Note 16.
Going concern
The Group reported a net income of $2m in H1 2026 (H1 2025: net income of $8m). Net cash of $51m in H1 2026 (H1 2025: $109m) was generated from operations during the period. Although the Group's balance sheet at 30 June 2026 reports a net current liability position of $1,975m (31 December 2025: $2,068m), the Directors concluded after a comprehensive review that no liquidity risk exists as:
1. The Group had funding available under the Group's $720m revolving credit facility of $436m (31 December 2025: $436m) which was available and undrawn at 30 June 2026. The facility's current maturity date is June 2029. Furthermore in July 2026, the RCF was renewed, increasing the size to $1bn and extending the duration to 2031 from 2029.
2. A significant proportion of the net current liability position is due to lease liabilities which are held in non-recourse special purpose vehicles but also with a corresponding right-of-use asset. A large proportion of the net current liabilities comprise non-cash liabilities such as deferred revenue of $321m (31 December 2025: $334m) is expected to be recognised in future periods through the income statement. The Group holds short-term customer deposits of $651m (31 December 2025: $621m) which are spread across a large number of customers and no deposit held for an individual customer is material;
3. The Group maintains a 12-month rolling forecast and a three-year strategic outlook. It also monitors the covenants in its debt facilities to manage the risk of potential breach. The Group expects to be able to refinance external debt and/or renew committed facilities as they become due, which is the assumption made in the viability scenario modelling, and to remain within covenants throughout the forecast period. In reaching this conclusion, the Directors have assessed:
◦ the potential cash generation of the Group against a range of illustrative scenarios (including a severe but plausible outcome); and
◦ mitigating actions to reduce operating costs and optimise cash flows during any ongoing global uncertainty.
4. The Group has ability to access further liquidity through the debt capital markets as demonstrated through the Eurobond issuances in 2024, 2025 and 2026
5. An external assessment from Fitch, a leading global credit rating agency, which has rated the Group and its listed bonds as investment grade with a BBB (Stable) rating and has continued to monitor the Group's financial performance since the initial rating assessment.
Due to the above, the Group does not believe the net current liabilities represents a liquidity risk. The Directors consider that the Group is well placed to successfully manage the actual and potential risks faced by the organisation including risks related to inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions.
On the basis of their assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these Group Condensed consolidated financial statements and consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements of the Group.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Description of the Business
International Workplace Group plc, and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company"), is the world's largest hybrid workspace platform with a network in over 120 countries through flexible workspace brands such as Regus, Spaces, HQ and Signature. International Workplace Group plc owns, manages and is a franchise operator of a network of business centres which are utilised by a variety of business customers. As of 31 December 2025, the Company managed its operations through three operating segments: Company-owned, Managed & Franchised, and Digital and Professional Services. From 1 January 2026, the Company has consolidated its Digital and Professional Services operating segment into its other two operating segments.
All references to "we", "us", "our", "IWG" and "the Company" are references to International Workplace Group plc and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and include the accounts of the Company. All values are in US dollars and rounded to millions, except where indicated otherwise. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.
As such, the information included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited US GAAP Consolidated Financial Statements ("audited consolidated financial statements") and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended 31 December 2025 which are available from the Company's website - www.iwgplc.com. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared following the same accounting policies as the Consolidated Financial Statements. There was no material effect from the adoption of new accounting policies and new US GAAP standards effective as of 1 January 2026.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income and Statements of Cash Flows for these interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements using applicable GAAP, as prescribed in the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.
Principles of Consolidation
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries and other non-wholly owned entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including Variable Interest Entities ("VIE") for which we are the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Non-controlling interests primarily relate to The Instant Group. On 8 March 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest in The Instant Group. In a separate transaction, the Company sold a 13.4% non-controlling equity interest for a consideration of $69 million.
On 30 April 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining noncontrolling interests in exchange for 23,095,239 common shares of International Workplace Group plc. From May 2025 onward, the Company no longer has any material non-controlling interests.
In 2020, Redox Plc was deconsolidated from the Company due to a loss of control following bankruptcy proceedings. As a result of emergence on 25 April 2025, the Company reassessed its involvement with the subsidiary in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, and determined it had regained control of the entity. The criterion for applying fresh start accounting for Redox Plc is not met as the Company held 100% of the voting shares before commencement of the proceedings and upon emergence from bankruptcy.
As part of regaining control, the Company received $20 million of Cash and recognized $6 million of Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, which were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the corresponding Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations impact included in Selling, general and administrative. The subsidiary's results of operations are included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from 25 April 2025.
The Company completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest in The Design Offices Group. This was completed on 1 March 2026 for a total consideration of $8 million (reference Note 5, Acquisitions).
Reorganisations
Upon completion of the acquisition of the remaining non-controlling interests in June 2025, the Company reorganised its reporting structure. To reflect this, assets and liabilities (including goodwill) were reassigned between reportable segments.
From 1 January 2026, the Company changed how it managed its operations and the provision of segmental information regularly provided to the CODM through two reportable segments: Company-owned and Managed and Franchised. As a result, the composition of reportable segments was changed, and assets and liabilities (including goodwill) were reassigned to these two reportable segments and prior period information was recast.
Please reference Note 4, Segments, and Note 8, Goodwill, net, for further information.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in accordance with US GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on the information available at the time, its experiences and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable for the estimates underlying the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which relate to, among other things, cash flows used in the assessment of impairment of goodwill, intangibles, property and equipment, right-of-use assets, reserves for uncertain tax positions, valuation of derivatives, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, incremental borrowing rates on leases and the fair value of property and equipment, intangibles and leasehold assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. Adjustments may be made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Restricted Cash
The Company is required to maintain cash deposits with certain banks which consist of deposits restricted under contractual agreements or legal disputes. Deposits with landlords are presented as security deposits in Other current assets and Other non-current assets and are not considered as cash, restricted cash or otherwise.
The following represents a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance sheets to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets, including right-of-use assets, property and equipment and other finite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may have been impaired. In evaluating an asset for recoverability, the Company considers the future cash flows expected to result from the continued use of the asset and the eventual disposition of the asset.
If the sum of the expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset is recognised. Impairment losses cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.
We evaluate potential impairment at the asset group level. We allocate the impairment loss related to an asset group among the various assets within the asset group pro rata based on the relative carrying values of the respective assets. Impairment of long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets, including right-of-use assets, is included in Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Impairment of property and equipment was $15 million and $4 million, and impairment of right-of-use assets was $13 million and $13 million for the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 2025, respectively. The recorded impairments related to the Company-owned segment and was due to underperforming business centres.
Please reference Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, for more information regarding the underlying impairment assessments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The recently issued but not yet effective Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") applicable to the Company during the six months ended 30 June 2026 that may have a material impact have been considered. None of the new recent accounting pronouncements are considered material at 30 June 2026 for the Company.
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
The Company's trade receivables are within the scope of ASU 2025-05. The amendments provide an optional practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses, which the Company has not adopted as these amendments did not result in any changes to the Company's existing methodology or to the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company's primary activity is the provision of global workspace solutions. Please reference Note 4, Segments, for revenue disaggregated by product categories.
Receivables
The Company's receivables from contracts with customers are separately presented as Accounts receivable, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of 30 June 2026, and 31 December 2025, the allowance for current expected credit losses was $8 million and $15 million, respectively.
A summary of the components of accounts receivable, net is as follows:

Contract Liabilities
The Company's contract liabilities, which are included in Deferred revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are based on the Company's billing cycle which changed during 2025. The contract liabilities are classified as current due to the nature of the Company's invoicing arrangements. All material contract liabilities as of 31 December 2025 were recognised as revenue during the six months ended 30 June 2026.
The Company elected the practical expedient as per ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information related to remaining performance obligations due to their original expected terms being one year or less. The Company also elected the practical expedient as per ASC 340-40-25-4 and expenses costs of obtaining contracts, which would otherwise have an amortisation period of one year or less, as incurred.
Note 4. Segments
The Company is organised into two operating segments based on the types of services provided. The segment composition, as further described below, reflects the Reorganisation described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
• Company-owned: Locations the Company operates directly and recognises full revenue and costs of the centre.
• Managed & Franchised: Locations the Company receives a franchise or management fee for providing services to centres. Managed centres are operated by the Company; franchise locations are operated by the franchise holder. The Company only recognises the fee as revenue. The Company is not responsible for capital expenditures in the centres and does not recognise the related centre operating costs.
The Company has determined its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") is its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CEO reviews the Company's financial performance based on these segments, specifically using Gross profit to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. Adjusted gross profit is also used by the CODM in assessing segmental performance and determining how to allocate resources because landlord contributions on leases are evaluated in totality in commercial negotiations, rather than being dependent upon whether they are accounted for as lease incentives. Adjusted gross profit (including landlord contributions on leases) has been presented for the first time in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on 30 June 2025.

Note 5. Acquisitions
In the first quarter of 2026, the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of Design Offices GmbH and its affiliates ("DO"), a flexible workspace operator in Germany, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated 28 February 2026. The acquisition was completed on 1 March 2026 for the total cash purchase consideration of $8 million.
The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination under ASC 805, and the purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition costs of $1 million, including legal and advisory fees, were expensed as incurred and recorded within Loss (gain) on disposal of long-lived assets, closures, restructurings and acquisition related items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Following closing, the Company began integrating DO's operations, including its head office and subsidiaries, into the Company's network in Germany during the second quarter of 2026.
The following table summarises the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

Goodwill of $154 million arose on the acquisition and primarily reflects the value of the acquired operating network and future growth opportunities.
Whilst the purchase price is fixed, the purchase price allocation is provisional and may be adjusted during the measurement period as additional information becomes available regarding the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Q2 2026 acquisitions
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company acquired immaterial acquisitions for a total consideration of $3 million (excluding cash obtained of $1m) resulting in the recognition of $1 million of goodwill. This related to a 100% of the share capital of another flexible workspace operator in Germany.
Note 6. Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit (2025: expense), based upon the estimated annual effective tax rate including the impact of discrete items, of $19 million on pre-tax book loss of $20 million, and $6 million on pre-tax book income of $12 million, for the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 2025, respectively. This resulted from an annual effective tax rate of 79% and 60% applied to the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 2025, respectively, plus the impact of discrete items.
The Company operates across multiple jurisdictions which have varying tax rates and taxable result profiles. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent these are expected to be utilised against future taxable profits, and this contributes to upward pressure on the estimated annual effective rate for 2026.
Applying a positive effective tax rate to a loss before tax results in a tax benefit being reported at 30 June 2026. The Company expects to report a tax expense for the full year 2026.
The lower effective tax rate for the six months to 30 June 2025 was primarily due to the initial recognition of deferred tax assets in that period, primarily in the US, compared to the deferred tax asset recognition for the six months ended 30 June 2026.

Options are considered dilutive when they would result in the issue of ordinary shares for less than the market price of ordinary shares in the period. The amount of the dilution is taken to be the average market price of shares during the period minus the exercise price. During the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 2025, share awards of 8,651,007 and 10,878,879, respectively, had a dilutive effect with a negligible impact on the basic earnings per share.
As discussed within Note 11, Debt, the Company repurchased portions of its Convertible bonds during 2025. Due to the repurchases, the potentially issuable number of shares as of 30 June 2026 and 2025, were 949,081 and 31,054,804, respectively. The Convertible bonds had no dilutive effect for the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 2025.

30 June 2025 £18m of the related forward exchange rate contracts were closed out. For the six months ended 30 June 2025 the repurchases of Convertible bonds and settlement of the foreign exchange rate contracts result in a gain on settlement of $1 million.
No Convertible bonds were repurchased during the six months ended 30 June 2026.
As of 30 June 2026, the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility was $720 million and $436 million was available and undrawn.

Note 12. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Reference the Fair Value Measurement accounting policy included within Note 2, Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the audited consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2025 for the level of inputs outlined below to determine fair value. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of other non-current assets, including building owner deposits, and other non-current liabilities, including customer deposits and provisions for liabilities, approximate fair value due to their nature.
Recurring fair value measurements
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of 30 June 2026 and 31 December 2025. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date:

The fair value of contingent consideration is based on contractually defined targets of financial performance in connection with earn outs and other considerations relating to acquisitions. The fair value of the Eurobonds and Convertible bonds are based on their published prices on the open market as these instruments are traded on a restricted market. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts are based on a combination of forward pricing and swap models. There were no transfers between levels for the six months ended 30 June 2026 and 30 June 2025.

Non-recurring fair value measurements
As of 30 June 2026 and 31 December 2025, the long-lived assets held and used in certain centres warranted nonrecurring fair value measurements due to the existence of qualitative and quantitative impairment indicators. The fair value of the centre was derived based on the expected future cash flows of the centre as outlined in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The corresponding impairment charges recorded during the reporting periods presented within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were also disclosed therein.
As of 30 June 2026 and 31 December 2025, the Company's impairment assessments derived fair values of $91 million and $86 million, respectively, for the affected centres.
The categorisation of the framework used to value the right-of-use assets is considered Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value. Such judgments and estimates included within the cash flow forecasts include assessment of the location of the centre, the local economic situation, competition, local environmental factors, the management of the centre, and future changes in occupancy, customer pricing and costs of the centre. While centre costs remain stable, revenue is a function of the expected levels of occupancy and the corresponding pricing achieved. In assessing any impairment, the derived fair value is assessed for sensitivity to changes in both occupancy and pricing, to determine the extent to which these estimates need to change before an impairment arises.
Note 13. Equity
Cash Dividends
During the six months ended 30 June 2026, the Company approved and paid out a final dividend of $9 million (¢0.93 per ordinary share). During the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Company approved and paid out a final dividend of $9 million (¢0.90 per ordinary share). The consolidated shareholders' deficit does not impact the Company's ability to make dividend payments.
Common Shares
The Company announced the first tranche ($50m) of the 2026 share buyback programme on 31 December 2025, a second tranche on 3 March 2026 ($50m) and on 30 June 2026 announced a further tranche ($50m), taking the programme up to $150m. Pursuant to this share repurchase program, during the six months ended 30 June 2026, the Company repurchased 37,971,536 shares of its common stock for $100 million (six months ended 30 June 2025: 20,652,686 shares of its common stock for $50 million), of which 36,871,804 were cancelled during the period and 1,099,732 subsequently cancelled.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is party to litigation and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when it is both probable that it will incur the loss and when the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss. If an unfavourable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods. The Company expenses legal costs relating to its lawsuits, claims and proceedings as incurred. Information about material reasonably possible loss contingencies is also disclosed in the financial statements.
Commitments
The Company has contractual obligations related to centre fit outs wherein the Company has to finish or improve the interior space of a leased property. Capital commitments in respect of centre fit-out obligations that are not offset by contractually committed landlord contributions are immaterial as of 30 June 2026. On 29 June 2026 the Company entered into a 3-year commitment agreement, subject to milestones, of
$30 million over the three years relating to the use of cloud computing services.
The Company holds bank guarantees and letters of credit held with certain banks, predominantly in support of leasehold contracts with a variety of landlords. As of 30 June 2026 and 31 December 2025, the guarantees were $364 million and $344 million, respectively.
During 2026, the Company maintains a guarantees and indemnities facility (the "Sureties Facility"), that supports the issuance of guarantees related to rent lease obligations. The amount available under the Sureties Facility is $120 million. $44 million under the Sureties Facility was utilised during the six-month period ended 30 June 2026.

Note 17. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through 11 August 2026, which is the date the Condensed Consolidated Statements were available to be issued.
Revolving Credit Facility
On 31 July 2026, the Company entered into a new multi‑currency revolving credit facility ("RCF") with a total commitment that was extended by $280 million from $720 million to $1 billion enhancing the Group's liquidity position and a maturity date of 31 July 2031 with an option to extend for a further two years with the Banks' consent. The rate of interest on any cash amounts drawn under the new RCF will be variable and based on the utilisation period selected by the Company. The new facility replaces the Company's existing $720 million RCF that was in place through 17 June 2029. One of the covenants, relating to interest cover, was removed, reflecting the Group's further transition to a capital-light model.
Other Facilities
In addition, on 31 July 2026, the Company increased its guarantees facility by $75 million.
Other Acquisitions
Subsequent to 30 June 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of centres in France and Spain for nominal cash consideration.

Independent Review Report to International Workplace Group plc
Conclusion
We have been engaged by the Company to review the Company's condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2026 which comprises the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss), the condensed consolidated balance sheets, the condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2026 is not prepared, in all material respects in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(US GAAP) and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority ("the UK FCA").
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Company ("ISRE (UK) 2410") issued for use in the UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting, or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that have not been appropriately disclosed.
This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern, and the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the Company will continue in operation.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.
The directors are responsible for preparing the condensed set of consolidated financial statements included in the half-yearly financial report in accordance with US GAAP. The annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025 are prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
In preparing the condensed set of consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company'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 Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.
Our conclusion, including our conclusions relating to going concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report.
The purpose of our review work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the DTR of the UK FCA. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

Reconciliation for alternative performance measures
The Company reports certain alternative performance measures (APMs) that are not required under US GAAP which represents the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) under which the Company reports. The Company believes that the presentation of these APMs provides useful supplemental information, when viewed in conjunction with our US GAAP financial information as follows:
• To evaluate the historical and planned underlying results of our operations;
• To set Director and management remuneration; and
• To discuss and explain the Company's performance with the investment analyst community.
None of the APMs should be considered as an alternative to financial measures derived in accordance with GAAP. The APMs can have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. These performance measures may not be calculated uniformly by all companies and therefore may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures of other companies.
