3.Significant Accounting Policies
a.Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2024 contained in the Group's Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 19, 2024 (File No. 001-38607).
The principal accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are set out below.
b.Basis of Preparation
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements.
c.Functional and Presentation Currency
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in British Pound Sterling (“Sterling”), which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Sterling has been rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated.
d.Use of Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts for assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual result may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
e.Going concern
The Group has been closely monitoring the impact of the developments on its businesses, mainly because the continuous worsening of global business and economic conditions may impact the stability of operations and could have an adverse impact on the earnings of the Group. While the technology sector has experienced economic headwinds globally, the impact on the Group’s operations and liquidity has not been substantial.
In accordance with IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements”, and revised FRC (“Financial Reporting Council") guidance on “risk management, internal control and related financial and business reporting”, the Directors have considered the funding and liquidity position of the Group and have assessed the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. In doing so, the Directors have reviewed the Group’s budget and forecasts, and have taken into account all available information about the future for a period of at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date of approval of these condensed consolidated financial statements. We have also assessed the risk of breaching covenants under its revolving credit facility, now that Endava has drawn down under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2024 and have confirmed that no covenant breaches are expected within the analysed period.
Having considered the outcome of these assessments, the Directors believe that the Group has adequate resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these condensed consolidated financial statements, and accordingly continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.

f.Basis of Consolidation
(i) Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Purchase accounting results in assets and liabilities of an acquired business being recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognised as goodwill.
The Group performs valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on each acquisition accounted for as a business combination and allocates the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s best estimate of fair value. The Group determines the appropriate useful life of intangible assets by performing an analysis of cash flows based on historical experience of the acquired businesses. Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives based on the pattern over which the economic benefits associated with the asset are expected to be consumed, which to date has approximated the straight-line method of amortisation.
Any contingent and deferred consideration payable are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the 'measurement period' (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of deferred and contingent consideration payable are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within finance expense or finance income.
Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
(ii) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
(iii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
All transactions and balances between Group Entities are eliminated on consolidation.
g.Revenue
The Group generates revenue primarily from its single class of business being the provision of IT services. It recognises revenue in accordance with IFRS 15 – “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”:
•The Group accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
•The Group identifies its distinct performance obligations under each contract. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer.
•The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer. With respect to all types of contracts, revenue is only recognised when the performance obligations are satisfied and the control of the services is transferred to the customer, either over time or at a point in time, at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.
7
•The Group considers the majority of its contracts to have a single performance obligation. In cases in which there are multiple performance obligations in the contract, a separate price allocation is performed based on relative standalone selling prices.
•Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates and taxes.
The Group’s services are generally performed under time-and-material based contracts (where materials consist of travel and out-of-pocket expenses) and fixed-price contracts. The vast majority of the Group's contracts are relatively short term in nature and have a single performance obligation.
Under time-and-materials based contracts, the Group charges for services based on daily or hourly rates and generally bills and collects monthly in arrears. The Group applies the practical expedient. Under the practical expedient, if the vendor’s right to consideration from a customer corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the vendor’s performance completed to date, the vendor can recognise revenue at the amount to which the vendor has the right to invoice. Consequently, the revenue from time-and-materials contracts is recognised based on the right to invoice for services performed, with the corresponding cost of providing those services reflected as cost of sales when incurred.
Fixed price contracts are predominantly flat rate recurring service arrangements provided evenly over time, where revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the service and do not require any judgment.
A small proportion of fixed price contracts contain percentage of completion and milestone contracts recognised over time. Percentage of completion and milestone contract revenue is recognised over time applying the input or output methods depending on the nature of the project and the agreement with the customer. The input method is applied by recognising revenue on the basis of the Group’s efforts to date in the satisfaction of the performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of the performance obligation. The output method is applied by recognising revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the services transferred to date relative to the remaining services promised under the contract, respectively. Each method is applied according to the characteristics of each contract and client. The inputs and outputs are selected based on how faithfully they depict the Group's performance towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. These methods are followed where reasonably dependable estimates of revenues and costs can be made. Percentage of completion and milestone contracts generally correspond to short-term contracts that generally do not span more than one accounting period.
The Group also enters into a small number of volume-based arrangements where revenue is recognised based upon performance of certain activities (e.g. processing of IT service tickets). Volume-based revenue is recognised over time based on the volume of IT related services provided in the period at the fixed rate per activity. Variable consideration usually takes the form of volume-based discounts, rebates, price concessions or incentives. Determining the estimated amount of such variable consideration involves assumptions and estimation uncertainty that can have an impact on the amount of revenues reported. The majority of this variable consideration relates to volume based discounts and rebates which are applied as a reduction to revenues recognised to date, and are estimated based on future forecasts of contracted revenue during the contractual period, considering the highly probable threshold.
From time to time, the Group may enter into arrangements with third-party suppliers to sell services. In such cases, the Group evaluates whether it is the principal (i.e., reports revenues on a gross basis) or the agent (i.e., reports revenues on a net basis). In doing so, the Group first evaluates whether it has control of the service before it is transferred to the customer. If the Group controls the service before it is transferred to the customer, the Group is the principal; if not, the Group is the agent. Determining whether the Group controls the service before it is transferred to the customer may require judgment.
A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Services performed on or prior to the balance sheet date, but invoiced thereafter, are reflected in accrued income. Contract liabilities, or deferred income, consist of advance payments from clients and billings in excess of revenues
8
recognised. The Group classifies deferred income as current on the consolidated balance sheet and it is recognised as revenue when the services are provided under a contract. These balances are generally short-term in nature and are generally recognised as revenue within one year.
4.Operating Segment Analysis
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding on how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is considered to be the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CEO reviews financial information presented on a Group level basis for the purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Therefore, the Group has determined that it operates in a single operating and reportable segment.
5. Revenue

Current tax | ( |
Tax for the six months ended December 31, 2024 is charged using the Group’s best estimate of the average annual effective rate expected for the full year applied to the profit before tax of the six month period plus the impact of any one off tax items arising in the period. The resulting effective rate for the six months ended December 31, 2024 is (35.4 )% (six months ended December 31, 2023: 25.8 %). The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2024 has benefited from the release of the Romanian deferred tax liability related to withholding taxes.
8.Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

11. Share-Based Payment Arrangements
The Group had the following share-based payment arrangements: Company Share Option Plan (“CSOP”), Joint Share Ownership Plan (“JSOP”), Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), 2018 Equity Incentive plan (“EIP”) and 2018 Sharesave Plan (“SAYE”).
During the reporting period, no discounted “Share Success” (”SS”) options under EIP were granted. Previously granted SS options are disclosed separately to other awards under the EIP and CSOP.
The number, weighted-average exercise price, weighted average share price at exercise date and average contractual life of the share options under the above arrangements were as follows:

Other options granted under the Group's equity plans have a nil exercise price, therefore their fair value equals the share price at grant date.
For the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Group recognised a £21.97 million share-based payment charge in respect of all the Group’s share option schemes (December 31, 2023: £23.56 million).
12. Subsequent events
Share repurchase program
Endava's Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its Class A ordinary shares (in the form of American Depositary Shares) as part of Endava’s evolving approach to capital allocation. As Endava is a UK-incorporated company, execution of the share repurchase program is subject to shareholder approval, which the Company received on March 14, 2025. The shareholder authorization will be valid for five years.
12
The Company intends to fund the share repurchases through a combination of cash generated from operations and drawing debt funding through its revolving credit facility. The exact number of shares to be repurchased by the Company under the share repurchase program, if any, is not guaranteed, including whether the Company utilizes the full $100 million approved by the Board of Directors. Depending on market conditions and other factors, and following receipt of shareholder approval, these repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or periodically without prior notice.
The Company may repurchase shares from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the discretion of management, depending on market conditions and other factors.
Acquisition related contingent consideration
As of December 31, 2024, the condensed consolidated financial statements included a contingent consideration with a fair value of £3 million in respect with the GalaxE acquisition. Management has assessed the likelihood of the earn-out payment, considering the most recent information obtained during March 2025. As a result, management will release the contingent consideration, in full, in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025.
