The total cash outflow for leases in the year was £7.9m (2024: £11.9m), which consists of £6.8m (2024: £10.2m) principal element of lease payments disclosed above, £1.1m (2024: £1.7m) interest element of lease payments and £nil (2024: £nil) lease payments charged to the Income Statement in respect of short-term leases. The Group has used its incremental borrowing rate of 6.53% (2024: 6.35%) as the discount rate for the calculation of the lease liabilities. Some leases contain break clauses or extension options to provide operational flexibility. Potential future undiscounted lease payments not included in the reasonably certain lease term, and hence not included in lease liabilities, total £1.2m (2024: £4.6m).
