Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2024

30. Equity-settled share-based payments

A summary of the inputs into the fair value calculations for options granted during the year is set out below.

All share options granted to employees under the Group’s equity-settled share-based payment schemes are valued using the Black–Scholes model, based on the market price of the Company’s shares at the grant date and annualised volatility of up to 50%, covering the period to the end of the contractual life. Volatility has been estimated on the basis of the Company’s historical share price subsequent to flotation. The risk-free annual rate of interest is deemed to be the yield on a gilt-edged security with a maturity term between seven months and five years, ranging from 0.01% to 2.00%. No options outstanding at 30 June 2024 (FY23: none) carry any dividend or voting rights. The share options in issue under the various equity-settled share-based payment schemes have been valued at prices ranging from £7.35 to £16.49 per share. The charge to the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year in respect of these was £2,407,000 (FY23: £2,686,000). The weighted average remaining contractual life of all equity-settled share-based payment schemes at 30 June 2024 was 1.36 years (FY23: 1.17 years). The weighted average share price of all options exercised during the year was £18.32 (FY23: £19.34).
