Exhibit 99.1

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members

of Dowlais Group Limited

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial

statements of Dowlais Group Limited and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of

December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the related consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated

statements of changes in equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated

financial statements (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").

In our opinion, the accompanying financial

statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results

of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International

Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with

auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described

in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent

of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the

Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation

and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, and for the design,

implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are

free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management

is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern at least, but not limited to, twelve months from

the end of the reporting period, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting

unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for

the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance

about whether the 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 absolute assurance and

therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

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. Misstatements are considered material

if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user

based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with

GAAS, we:

· Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and

perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts

and disclosures in the financial statements.

· 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 Company’s internal control. Accordingly,

no such opinion is expressed.

· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,

as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

· Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about

the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are

required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit,

significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

1. Corporate information

Dowlais Group Limited (the “Company”) comprises the GKN

Automotive and GKN Powder Metallurgy businesses along with certain Corporate functions, together referred to as the “Group”.

GKN Automotive is a global technology and systems engineer which designs, develops, manufactures and integrates an extensive range of

driveline technologies, including electric vehicle components. GKN Powder Metallurgy is a global leader in precision powder metal parts

for the automotive and industrial sectors, as well as the production of powder metal. GKN Hydrogen formed part of the Group, offering

reliable and secure hydrogen storage solutions, until its sale on 29 July 2024 to Langley Holdings plc.

1.1 Corporate structure

As at 31 December 2025, Dowlais Group plc was a public company limited

by shares incorporated in the United Kingdom and is registered in England & Wales, whose shares were publicly traded on the London

Stock Exchange.

On 3 February 2026, Dauch Corporation acquired the entire issued ordinary

share capital of Dowlais by way of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006.

On 4 February 2026, the Group’s shares were cancelled from admission

to trading on London Stock Exchange and on 5 March 2026 the Company re-registered to become a private company and changed its name to

Dowlais Group Limited.

1.2 Basis of preparation

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance

with IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRS®) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Consolidated Financial

Statements are presented in pounds Sterling and, unless stated otherwise, rounded to the nearest million. They have been prepared under

the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative

instruments).

1.3 New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations affecting amounts,

presentation or disclosure reported in the current year

The following amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards have been applied

for the first time by the Group. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the required amounts reported

in these Consolidated Financial Statements:

- Amendments

to IAS 21 Lack of Exchangeability.

1.4 New and revised IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet

effective

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Group

has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:

- Amendments

to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments.

- Contracts

referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7).

- Annual

improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11.

- Amendments

to IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which will become effective

for the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31 December

2027.

- IFRS

19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures.

With the exception of IFRS 18, the Directors do not expect that the

adoption of the Standards listed above will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group in future periods.

The impact of IFRS 18 will not change how items are recognised and measured however there is likely to be a material impact on the Group’s

presentation and classification of the Consolidated Income Statement and reporting of financial performance.

2. Summary of material accounting policies

Going concern

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going

concern basis as the Directors consider that adequate resources exist for the Company to continue in operational existence for a period

of not less than 12 months from the date of this report. In making this assessment, the Directors have considered the Group’s liquidity

and funding arrangements as at 31 December 2025 and up to the date of the Group’s acquisition by Dauch which completed on 3 February

2026, together with reviewing cash flow forecasts to 30 April 2027 on a business as usual (“BAU”) basis. An overlay was then

applied to those forecasts to estimate the impact of the changes to the Group’s funding structure following the acquisition by

Dauch. Scenario analysis was performed on these forecast cash flows as set out below.

Liquidity and funding arrangements

As at 31 December 2025, the Group’s funding facilities comprised

a multicurrency revolving credit facility (“RCF”) of £1,233 million, of which £726 million had been drawn down,

a multicurrency term loan of £187 million and US Private Placement (“USPP”) notes of £372 million. As a result,

the Group had undrawn facilities of £0.5 billion (2024: £0.5 billion) and cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance

Sheet of £0.4 billion (2024: £0.3 billion).

Subsequent to the Group’s acquisition by Dauch on 3 February

2026, Dauch provided funding to the Group by way of an inter-company loan which the Group used to repay and cancel its existing RCF and

term loan facilities in full.

4 February 2026, Dauch implemented an internal restructure to transfer all US subsidiaries of the Group out of Dowlais ownership. Following

the transfer, the Group’s funding structure comprised an inter-company loan with Dauch and USPP loan notes.

Forecasts to 30 April 2027

In concluding that the going concern basis is appropriate, the Directors

prepared a working capital model on a BAU stand-alone basis (i.e. assuming the Group’s structure and funding at 31 December 2025

continued to 30 April 2027 as if the acquisition by Dauch did not occur) with a ‘base case’ scenario supported by the Group’s

latest internal forecasts to 30 April 2027. The forecasts include the estimated impact of end market and operational factors, including

supply chain and inflationary challenges and the Group’s latest estimate of the impact of US tariffs throughout the going concern

period. Climate related risks have also been considered, including estimating the expected transition from internal combustion engines

to electric vehicles and considering potential risks to the Group’s infrastructure resulting from extreme weather or climate events.

The Directors also modelled the impact of a ‘worst case’

scenario to the ‘base case’ by including an aggregation of three plausible but severe downside risks.

The three downside scenarios modelled were (i) economic shock/downturn,

(ii) losing a key market, product or customer and (iii) significant contract delivery issues, including a cyber attack scenario.

2. Summary of material accounting policies continued

Throughout the forecast period covered by the model, after applying

the ‘worst case’ scenario, the model demonstrated that the Group had sufficient funds to continue operating and would have

met the financial covenant requirements in its existing debt at each testing date. The model also demonstrated that, following a reverse

stress test, the Group could absorb a further reduction in revenue and cash generation over the ‘base case’ scenario in the

period to 30 April 2027, still assuming no mitigating actions, before the Group breached its leverage and interest covenants.

Following the completion of the acquisition of the Group by Dauch

on 3 February 2026, an overlay was applied to the working capital model to reflect the changes to the Group’s organisational and

funding structures as described in the Liquidity and funding arrangements section above. The overlay effectively replaced the Group’s

existing RCF and term loan funding with a new inter-company loan from Dauch and adjusted the forecast cash flows to replace the forecast

cash flows from the Group’s US subsidiaries for the period to 30 April 2027 with the proceeds received on disposal on 4 February

2026.

Based on these overlays, remaining USPP covenant compliance was forecast

to continue to be met comfortably for the period to 30 April 2027 and the Group would not expect to require additional funding from Dauch

to support its operations during that period. Any future funding decisions that Dauch may make post acquisition date that might impact

the Group’s ability to continue to operate are currently unknown and therefore the Directors have obtained a letter from Dauch

Corporation stating its intention to support the Group for at least the period of the going concern assessment.

Going concern conclusion

Based on the Director’s assessment of the Group’s ability

to remain in operation on a standalone basis and taking consideration of Dauch’s letter of support, the Directors are satisfied

that the going concern basis remains appropriate for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Consideration of climate change

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Directors

have considered the impact of climate change, particularly Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures recommended risks. There

has been no material impact identified on the financial reporting judgements and estimates. In particular, the Directors considered the

impact of climate change in respect of the following areas:

– preparing the going concern assessment of the Group;

– cash flow forecasts used in the impairment assessments of non-current

assets including goodwill and other intangible assets; and

– the carrying value and useful economic lives of property, plant

and equipment.

Whilst there is currently no medium-term impact expected from climate

change, the Directors are aware of the ever-changing risks that may result from climate change and will regularly assess these risks

against judgements and estimates made in preparation of the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business combinations and goodwill

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition

method. The cost of acquisition is measured at the fair value of assets transferred, the liabilities incurred or assumed at the date

of exchange of control and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Control is achieved where

the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Costs directly attributable to business combinations are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Income Statement as incurred.

The acquired identifiable assets and liabilities are measured at their

fair value at the date of acquisition except those where specific guidance is provided by IFRS.

Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair values of

the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by

the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts where appropriate. Those provisional

amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities recognised, to reflect new information obtained

about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that

date.

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition

to the date the Group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and is subject

to a maximum period of one year.

Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost, being the excess

of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s

previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets,

liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value

may be impaired.

If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value

of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest

in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree, the excess is recognised

immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

As at the acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to

the cash-generating units acquired. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, or group

of cash-generating units to which goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying

amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement and is not subsequently reversed. When there is a disposal of a cash-generating

unit, goodwill relating to the operation disposed of is taken into account in determining the gain or loss on disposal of that operation.

The amount of goodwill allocated to a partial disposal is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and

the operation retained.

Equity accounted investments

A joint venture is an entity which is not a subsidiary undertaking

but where the interest of the Group is that of a partner in a business over which the Group exercises joint control with its partners

over the financial and operating policies. In all cases voting rights are 50% or lower.

2. Summary of material accounting policies continued

Associated undertakings are entities that are neither a subsidiary

nor a joint venture, but where the Group has a significant influence.

The results, assets and liabilities of equity accounted investments

are accounted for by applying the equity method of accounting. The Group’s share of equity includes goodwill arising on acquisition.

When a Group entity transacts with an equity accounted investment

of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the equity accounted investments are recognised in the Consolidated

Income Statement only to the extent of interests in equity accounted investments that are not related to the Group.

Revenue

Revenues are recognised at the point of transfer of control of goods,

as the Group does not currently generate any revenue that qualifies to be recognised over time.

The nature of contracts into which the Group enters means that certain

of the Group’s arrangements with its customers have multiple elements that can include a combination of:

– Sale of products; and

– Design and build.

Contracts are reviewed to identify each performance obligation relating

to distinct goods and the associated consideration. The Group allocates revenue to multiple element arrangements based on the identified

performance obligations within the contracts in line with the policies below. A performance obligation, which generally relates to the

manufacture and supply of products for use in our customers’ operations, is identified if the customer can benefit from the goods

on their own or together with other readily available resources, and it can be separately identified within the contract. This review

is performed by reference to the specific contract terms.

Sale of products

This revenue stream accounts for the majority of Group sales.

Invoices for goods are raised and revenue is recognised when control

of the goods is transferred to the customer. Dependent upon contractual terms this may be at the point of despatch or acceptance by the

customer. Revenue recognised is the transaction price as it is the observable selling price per product.

Cash discounts, volume rebates and other customer incentive programmes

are based on certain percentages agreed with the Group’s customers, which are typically earned by the customer over an annual period.

These are allocated to performance obligations and are recorded as a reduction in revenue at the point of sale based on the estimated

future outcome. Due to the nature of these arrangements an estimate is made based on historical results to date, estimated future results

across the contract period and the contractual provisions of the customer contract.

Certain of the Group’s Automotive and Powder Metallurgy businesses

recognise an element of revenue via a surcharge or similar raw material cost recovery mechanism. The surcharge is generally based on

prior period movement in raw material price indices applied to current period deliveries.

Participation fees are payments made to original equipment manufacturers

relating to long-term contracts. They are recognised as contract assets to the extent that they can be recovered from future sales over

the lives of the contracts, generally up to seven years.

Design and build

This revenue stream affects a discrete number of Automotive businesses.

Generally, revenue is only recognised on the sale of product as detailed above, however, on occasions cash is received in advance of

work performed to compensate the Group for costs incurred in design and development activities. The Group performs an assessment of its

performance obligations to understand multiple elements. As there is generally only one performance obligation, any cash received in

advance is deferred on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and recognised at a point in time as the deliveries are made under the contract.

Finance costs

Issue costs of loans

The finance cost recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement in

respect of the issue costs of borrowings is allocated to periods over the terms of the instrument using the effective interest rate method.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction

or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended

use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted

from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Consolidated Income

Statement in the period in which they are incurred and accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective

interest rate applicable.

Finance income

Finance 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. Finance income is accrued on a time basis, by reference

to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation

and any impairment in value.

The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or construction

cost, any costs directly attributable to bring the asset into operation, and any material borrowing costs on qualifying assets. Qualifying

assets are defined as an asset or programme where the period of capitalisation is more than 12 months. Purchase price or construction

cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset.

Where assets are in the course of construction at the balance sheet

date, they are classified as capital work-in-progress and presented within Plant and equipment. Transfers are made to other asset categories

when they are available for use, at which point depreciation commences.

Right-of-use assets arise under IFRS 16 Leases and are depreciated

over the shorter of the estimated life or the lease term.

2. Summary of material accounting policies continued

Property, plant and equipment continued

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated

useful life of the asset as follows:

Freehold

buildings and long leasehold property

over

expected economic life not exceeding 50 years

Short leasehold property and equipment

over the term of the lease

Plant and equipment

3 – 15 years

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed

on an annual basis and, if necessary, changes in useful lives are accounted for prospectively. No depreciation is charged on freehold

land.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed

annually for indicators of impairment, or if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

If such indication exists an impairment test is performed and, where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the

assets are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is the greater of net selling

price and value in use. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax

discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that

does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset

belongs.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal

or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition

of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds or costs and the carrying amount of the item) is included

in the Consolidated Income Statement in the period that the item is derecognised.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets, with a finite useful life, are stated at cost less

accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

On acquisition of businesses, separately identifiable intangible assets

are initially recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date.

Access to the use of brands and intellectual property are valued using

a “relief from royalty” method which determines the net present value of future additional cash flows arising from the use

of the intangible asset.

Customer relationships and contracts are valued on the basis of the

net present value of the future additional cash flows arising from customer relationships with appropriate allowance for attrition of

customers.

Technology assets are valued using a replacement cost approach, or

a “relief from royalty” method.

Amortisation of intangible assets is recorded in the Consolidated

Income Statement and is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the asset as follows:

Customer relationships and contracts

20 years or less

Brands and intellectual property

20 years or less

Technology

9 years or less

Computer software

5 years or less

Development costs

6 years or less

Where computer software is not integral to an item of property, plant

or equipment, its costs are capitalised and categorised as intangible assets. Computer software is initially recorded at cost. Where

these assets have been acquired through a business combination, this will be the fair value allocated in the acquisition accounting.

Where these have been acquired other than through a business combination, the initial cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair

value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset.

Intangible assets (other than computer software and development costs)

are tested for impairment annually or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may

not be recoverable. Impairment losses are measured on a similar basis to property, plant and equipment. Useful lives are also examined

on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.

Assets and liabilities held for sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for

sale when their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than continuing use. This is regarded as being the

case only when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition, and its sale must be highly probable.

A sale is considered to be highly probable if the appropriate level of management are committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal

group), and an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated including marketing the asset (or disposal

group) for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. In addition, the sale should be expected to qualify

for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and actions required to complete the plan should

indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale

are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortisation of related assets will

cease once the asset, or business has met the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred.

Costs relating to clearly defined and identifiable development projects

are capitalised when there is a technical degree of exploitation, adequacy of resources and a potential market or development possibility

in the undertaking that are recognisable; and where it is the intention to produce, market or execute the project. A correlation must

also exist between the costs incurred and future benefits and those costs must be able to be measured reliably. Capitalised costs are

expensed on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of 6 years or less. Costs not meeting such criteria are expensed as incurred.

Research and development activities generally relate to enhancing

the engineering, design or manufacturing processes of our products, particularly in relation to electric vehicles and propulsion source

agnostic components.

In 2025, research and development costs of £101 million (2024:

£126 million) were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value

and are measured using a first in, first out or weighted average cost basis. Cost includes all direct expenditure and appropriate production

overhead expenditure incurred in bringing goods to their current state based on normal operating conditions. Net realisable value is

based on estimated selling price less costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal. Provisions are made for obsolescence

or other expected losses where considered necessary.

2. Summary of material accounting policies continued

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents may comprise cash in hand, balances with

banks and similar institutions, and short-term deposits which are readily convertible to cash and are subject to insignificant risks

of changes in value.

For the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash

and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Leases

Where a lease arrangement is identified, a liability to the lessor

is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a lease obligation calculated at the present value of minimum lease payments. A corresponding

right-of-use asset is recorded in property, plant and equipment. The discount rate used to calculate the lease liability is the Group’s

incremental borrowing rate, unless the rate implicit in the lease is reasonably determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is used

for the majority of leases. Incremental borrowing rates are based on the term, currency, country and start date of the lease and reflect

the rate the Group would pay for a loan with similar terms and security.

Following initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Where there is a change in future lease payments due to a rent review, change

in index or rate, or a change in the Group’s assessment of whether it is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase, extension or

break option, the lease obligation is remeasured. A corresponding adjustment is made to the associated right-of-use asset. Right-of-use

assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs and a reduction

in the lease obligation so as to reflect the interest on the remaining balance of the obligation. Finance charges are recorded in the

Consolidated Income Statement within finance costs.

Leases with a term of 12 months or less and leases for low value are

not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease payments for these leases are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Income

Statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Expenses relating to variable lease payments which are not included in the lease

liability, due to being based on a variable other than an index or rate, are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Income Statement

when incurred.

Financial instruments – assets

Classification and measurement

All financial assets are classified as either those which are measured

at fair value, through profit or loss or other comprehensive income, and those measured at amortised cost.

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. For those

which are not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, this includes directly attributable transaction costs. Trade

and other receivables, contract assets and amounts due from equity accounted investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Recognition and derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet

when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when, and only

when, a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the Group transfers to another

party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the Group, despite having retained some,

but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.

Impairment of financial assets

For trade receivables and contract assets, the simplified approach

permitted under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is applied. The simplified approach requires that at the point of initial recognition the

expected credit loss across the life of the receivable must be recognised. As these balances do not contain a significant financing element,

the simplified approach relating to expected lifetime losses is applicable under IFRS 9.

Derivatives over own equity

The Group held a derivative asset over its own equity as a result

of a contract for its own shares to be returned to it at nil cost under certain circumstances dependent on the Company’s share

price at a future date. As a transaction with a shareholder, the asset was initially recognised directly in equity at the fair value

of the shares expected to be returned. Following initial recognition, the derivative asset was held on the Consolidated Balance Sheet

at fair value, with gains and losses arising on the remeasurement of the asset recognised immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement.

The asset was settled by the return of the Company’s shares and derecognised directly in equity aligned with the initial recognition.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables that are held within a business model

whose objective is to hold the receivables in order to collect contractual cash flows, and where the contractual terms of the receivables

give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured and carried

at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. For trade receivables, the carrying amount is reduced by

a loss allowance for expected credit losses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance

account and changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Trade receivables that are assessed not to be impaired individually

are also assessed for impairment on a collective basis. In measuring the expected credit losses, the Group considers all reasonable and

supportable information such as the Group’s past experience at collecting receipts, any increase in the number of delayed receipts

in the portfolio past the average credit period, and forward looking information such as forecasts of future economic decisions.

Other receivables are also considered for impairment. The Group recognises

the expected lifetime credit loss when there has been a significant increase in credit risk (such as changes to credit ratings or when

the contractual payments are overdue by more than 30 days) since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk has not increased significantly

since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit loss. The carrying

amount is reduced by any loss arising which is recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement.

2. Summary of material accounting policies continued

Financial instruments – liabilities

Recognition and derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet

when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction

costs. The Group derecognises financial liabilities when the Group’s obligations are discharged, significantly modified, cancelled

or they expire.

Classification and measurement

Non-derivative financial liabilities are subsequently measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective interest rate basis. The effective

interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant

periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments throughout the expected life of the financial

liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the gross carrying amount of the financial liability.

Interest bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value of

the consideration received net of associated issue costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently

measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Derivative financial instruments

The Group uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure

to interest rate, foreign exchange rate and commodity risks, arising from operating and financing activities. The Group does not hold

or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments are recognised and stated

at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Their fair value is recalculated at each reporting date. The accounting treatment for

the resulting gain or loss will depend on whether the derivative meets the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting and are designated

as such.

Where derivatives do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting,

any gains or losses on the revaluation to fair value at the period end are recognised immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Where derivatives do meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resulting gain or loss on revaluation depends

on the nature of the hedge relationship and the item being hedged.

Derivative financial instruments with maturity dates of less than

one year from the period end date are classified as current in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Features embedded in non-derivative host

contracts are recognised separately as derivative financial instruments at their fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet when the

nature, characteristics and risks of the embedded features are not closely related to the host contract. Gains and losses arising on

the remeasurement of these embedded derivatives at each balance sheet date are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Hedge accounting

In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the Group is required to

document from inception the relationship between the item being hedged and the hedging instrument, along with its risk management objectives

and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the

Group documents that the hedge will be highly effective, which is when the hedging relationships meet all of the following hedge effectiveness

requirements:

– there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and

the hedging instrument;

– the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes

that result from that economic relationship; and

– the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that

resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Group actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group

actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.

The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship

(or a part thereof) ceases to meet the qualifying criteria (after rebalancing, if applicable). This includes instances when the hedging

instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. The discontinuation is accounted for prospectively. The Group designates certain

hedging instruments as either cash flow hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. No hedge accounting was in place within

the Group prior to the demerger from the Melrose Industries PLC group.

Cash flow hedges

Derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flow hedges

when they hedge the Group’s exposure to the variability in cash flows that are either attributable to a particular risk associated

with a recognised asset or liability, or a highly probable forecasted cash flow.

The Group designates the interest rate swap contracts as the hedging

instrument for variable interest rate exposure on debt. The effective portion of any gain or loss from revaluing the derivative financial

instrument is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and accumulated in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective

portion is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Amounts previously recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income

and accumulated in equity are recycled to the Consolidated Income Statement in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in the

Consolidated Income Statement or when the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur.

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations

Debt financial instruments are classified as net investment hedges

when they hedge the Group’s net investment in foreign operations. The effective element of any foreign exchange gain or loss from

revaluing the debt at a reporting period end is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Any ineffective element is recognised

immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Gains and losses accumulated in equity are recognised immediately

in the Consolidated Income Statement when the foreign operation is disposed.

2. Summary of material accounting policies continued

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation

(legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be

required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value

of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a rate that reflects the current market

assessment of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase

in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Pensions and other retirement benefits

The Group operates defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution

plans, some of which require contributions to be made to administered funds separate from the Group.

For the defined benefit pension and retirement benefit plans, plan

assets are measured at fair value and plan liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis and discounted at an interest rate equivalent

to the current rate of return on a high-quality corporate bond of equivalent currency and term to the plan liabilities. Any assets resulting

from this calculation are limited to past service cost plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions

to the plan. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, are measured

using the projected unit credit method.

The service cost of providing pension and other retirement benefits

to employees for the period is charged to the Consolidated Income Statement.

Net interest expense on net defined benefit obligations is determined

by applying discount rates used to measure defined benefit obligations at the beginning of the year to net defined benefit obligations

at the beginning of the year. The net interest expense is recognised within finance costs.

Remeasurement gains and losses comprise actuarial gains and losses,

the effect of the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest). Remeasurement gains and losses, and

taxation thereon, are recognised in full in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur and are not subsequently

recycled.

Actuarial gains and losses may result from differences between the

actuarial assumptions underlying the plan obligations and actual experience during the period or changes in the actuarial assumptions

used in the valuation of the plan obligations.

For defined contribution plans, contributions payable are charged

to the Consolidated Income Statement when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Foreign currencies

The individual financial statements of each Group company are presented

in the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the Group’s

Consolidated Financial Statements, the results and financial position of each Group company are expressed in pounds Sterling, which is

also the presentation currency.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual companies,

transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange

prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign

currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated

in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that

are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items,

and on the retranslation of monetary items, are included in the Consolidated Income Statement for the period. Exchange differences arising

on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in the Consolidated Income Statement for the period except

for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity.

For such non-monetary items, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised directly in equity.

For the purpose of presenting the Group’s Consolidated Financial

Statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance

sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly

during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are

recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

Such translation differences are recognised as income or as expenses in the period in which the related operation is disposed of. Any

exchange differences that have previously been attributed to non-controlling interests are derecognised but they are not reclassified

to the Consolidated Income Statement.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of

a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet

date.

Hyperinflation

During 2022, Turkey’s economy became hyperinflationary. IAS

29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies requires affected entities to present their financial statements reflecting the

general purchasing power of the relevant functional currency in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period.

The Group applies the Turkey Domestic Producer Price Index (D-PPI), which was 4,783 (31 December 2024: 3,747) as at the end of the year,

to the results of the Group’s operations in Turkey whose functional currency is the Turkish Lira.

2. Summary of material accounting policies continued

Taxation

The tax expense is based on the taxable profits for the period and

represents the sum of the tax paid or currently payable and deferred tax.

Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the Consolidated

Income Statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes

items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that

have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

A tax provision is recognised for those matters for which the tax

determination is uncertain but it is considered probable that there will be a future outflow of funds to a tax authority. The provisions

are measured at the best estimate of the amount expected to become payable. The assessment is based on the judgement of tax professionals

within the Group supported by previous experience in respect of such activities and in certain cases based on specialist independent

advice.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary

differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting

purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary

differences except:

– where the deferred tax liability arises on the initial recognition

of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects

neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

– where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences

associated with investments in subsidiaries and interests in equity accounted investments can be controlled and it is probable that the

temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences,

carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against

which the deductible temporary differences, and carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised except:

– where the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition

of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the

accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

– in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with

investments in subsidiaries and interests in equity accounted investments, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that

it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which

the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance

sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part

of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates

that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have

been enacted or substantively enacted at the relevant balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally

enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same

taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Tax relating to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income

is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and not in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of

sales tax except:

– where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of goods and services

is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset

or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

– where receivables and payables are stated with the amount of

sales tax included.

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation

authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Share-based payments

The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based payment.

The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value

of the equity instrument excluding the effect of non-market based vesting conditions at the date of grant. The fair value determined

at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the

Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market based vesting conditions. Fair value

is measured by use of a Monte Carlo pricing model.

3. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which

are described in Note 2, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets

and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experiences

and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing

basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that

period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical accounting judgements

No critical accounting judgements have been identified.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation

uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets

and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.

Assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of goodwill and

other assets

Determining whether the goodwill of groups of cash-generating units

(“CGUs”) is impaired requires an estimation of its recoverable amount which is compared against the carrying value. The recoverable

amount is deemed to be the higher of the value in use and fair value less costs to sell. For the year ended 31 December 2025, impairment

testing has been performed for each group of CGUs using the value in use method based on estimated discounted cash flows.

The impairment tests concluded that there was headroom of £240 million for the Automotive group of CGUs, and headroom of £61

million for the Powder Metallurgy group of CGUs.

The models used to calculate value in use for each group of CGUs are

particularly sensitive to key assumptions around discount rates, long-term growth rates and underlying assumptions underpinning forecasts

including the impact of macroeconomic conditions such as interest rates and inflation on future sales and input prices which drive forecast

operating margins and ultimately cash flows.

Details of the key assumptions supporting the impairment tests, together

with sensitivity analysis in respect of those key assumptions, are set out in Note 11. Whilst actual movements might be different to

sensitivities shown, these are considered to reflect a reasonably possible change that could occur.

Assumptions used to determine the carrying amount of the Group’s

defined benefit obligations

The Group’s pension plans are significant in size. The defined

benefit obligations in respect of the plans are discounted at rates set by reference to market yields on high quality corporate bonds.

Estimation is required when setting the criteria for bonds to be included in the population from which the yield curve is derived. The

most significant criteria considered for the selection of bonds to include are the issue size of the corporate bonds, quality of the

bonds and the identification of outliers which are excluded. In addition, assumptions are made in determining mortality and inflation

rates to be used when valuing the plan’s defined benefit obligations. At 31 December 2025, the retirement benefit obligation was

a net deficit of £348 million (2024: £384 million).

Further details of the assumptions applied and a sensitivity analysis

on the principal assumptions used to determine the defined benefit liabilities of the Group’s obligations are shown in Note 23.

Whilst actual movements might be different to sensitivities shown, these are considered to reflect a reasonably possible change that

could occur.

The Group derives its revenue from the transfer of goods at a point

in time.

For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group has identified two

major customers (defined as customers that individually contributed at least 10% of the Group’s revenue) primarily reported within

the Automotive segment that each accounted for approximately 11% of the Group’s total revenue recognised in the year (2024: two

customers that accounted for approximately 11% and 10% of the Group’s total revenue for 2024).

5. Segment information

Segment information is presented in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating

Segments which requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly

reported to the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), which has been deemed to be the Group’s Board

of Directors, in order to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance.

The operating segments are as follows:

Automotive

– a global technology and systems engineer which designs, develops, manufactures and integrates an extensive range of driveline

technologies, including electric vehicle components.

Powder

Metallurgy – a global leader in precision powder metal parts for the automotive and industrial sectors, as well as the

production of powder metal.

Hydrogen

– offering reliable and secure hydrogen storage solutions, the business was sold on 29 July 2024.

5. Segment information continued

In addition, central corporate cost centres are also reported to the

Board. The central corporate cost centres contain the Group head office costs and charges related to the divisional management long-term

incentive plans and associated assets and liabilities, and include the Group’s external cash and debt facilities.

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable

segments.

Reportable segment results include items directly attributable to

a segment as well as those which can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length

basis, in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

The Group’s geographical segments are determined by the location

of the Group’s non-current assets and, for revenue, the location of external customers. Inter-segment sales are not material and

have not been disclosed.

The following tables present the segment revenues and operating profits

as regularly reported to the CODM, as well as certain asset and liability information regarding the Group’s operating segments

and central cost centres.

a) Segment revenues

The Group has assessed that the disaggregation of revenue recognised

from contracts with customers by operating segment is appropriate as this is the information regularly reviewed by the CODM in evaluating

financial performance.

Amortisation expense of £9 million (2024: £7 million)

and £192 million (2024: £198 million) is included within costs of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses,

respectively.

The goodwill generated as a result of acquisitions represents the

premium paid in excess of the fair value of all net assets, including intangible assets identified at the point of acquisition. On demerger

of the Group from Melrose, goodwill relating to historical acquisitions was transferred at book value based on the goodwill that arose

on the original acquisition. No additional goodwill was created as a result of the demerger.

Goodwill acquired in business combinations, net of impairment, has

been allocated to the businesses, each of which comprises several CGUs. Goodwill is allocated to CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected

to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. Goodwill is allocated to the Automotive and Powder Metallurgy groups of CGUs, which

each represent reportable segments, as this is the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management

purposes.

Impairment testing

The Group tests goodwill annually or more frequently if there are

indications that goodwill might be impaired. The date of the annual impairment test is 31 October, aligned with internal forecasting

and review processes. In accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, the Group values goodwill at the recoverable amount, being the

higher of the value in use or fair value less costs to sell. For the current year, impairment tests for both groups of CGUs were performed

by applying a value in use approach (2024: value in use).

Based on impairment testing completed for the year ended 31 December

2025 no impairment was identified in respect of either the Automotive or the Powder Metallurgy group of CGUs (2024: no impairment identified

in either group of CGUs).

Risk adjusted discount rates

Cash flows within the groups of CGUs are discounted using a post-tax

discount rate specific to each group of CGUs. Discount rates reflect the current market assessments of the time value of money and the

territories in which the group of CGUs operates. In determining the cost of equity, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”)

has been used. Under CAPM, the cost of equity is determined by adding a risk premium, based on an industry adjustment (“Beta”),

to the expected return of the equity market above the risk-free return. The relative risk adjustment reflects the risk inherent in each

group of CGUs relative to all other sectors and geographies on average.

The cost of debt is determined using a risk-free rate based on the

cost of government bonds and an interest rate premium equivalent to a corporate bond with a credit rating similar to the rating of the

Group.

The pre-tax discount rate for each group of CGUs is derived such that

when applied to pre-tax cash flows it results in the same discounted value as when the observable post-tax weighted average cost of capital

is applied to post-tax cash flows.

Assumptions applied in financial forecasts

The Group prepares five-year cash flow forecasts derived from financial

budgets and medium-term forecasts. Each forecast has been prepared using a cash flow period deemed most appropriate by management, considering

the nature of each group of CGUs. The key assumptions used in forecasting cash flows relate to future budgeted revenue and operating

margins likely to be achieved and the expected rates of long-term growth by market sector. Underlying factors in determining the values

assigned to each key assumption are shown below.

Revenue growth and operating margins

Revenue growth assumptions in the forecast period are based on financial

budgets and medium-term forecasts by management, taking into account industry growth rates and management’s historical experience

in the context of wider industry and economic conditions. Projected sales are built up with reference to markets and product categories.

They incorporate past performance, historical growth rates, projections of developments in key markets, secured orders and orders forecast

to be achieved in the short to medium-term given trends in the relevant market sector. Revenue assumptions take account of relevant external

market data, where available, and also consider the potential continued impact of recent macroeconomic and political instability.

Operating margins have been forecast based on historical levels achieved

considering the likely impact of changing economic environments and competitive landscapes on volumes and revenues and the impact of

management actions on costs. Projected margins reflect the impact of all committed and initiated projects to improve operational efficiency

and leverage scale.

Forecasts for other operating costs are based on inflation forecasts

and supply and demand factors, which take account of climate change implications for affected markets. Overall, climate risk exposure

is considered to be relatively low across the divisions in the short and medium-term but starts to increase in the longer-term, for example

through increasing likelihood of flooding risk or increasing wildfire risk. Impairment testing includes short to medium-term planning

(five years) for each of the groups of CGUs, which addresses known risks from climate change and other environmental factors impacting

forecast costs as well as the opportunities in associated markets as they prepare for change, for example, transition to electrification

in Automotive which is expected to impact revenues.

Across the Group, the key driver for growth in operating margin is

the Group’s ability to optimise performance. This includes manufacturing optimisation and automation, making supply chain savings,

commercial activities to align sales prices with inflationary pressures, and restructuring activities to ensure the Group is operating

an efficient cost base.

For Automotive, sector growth is driven by global demand for a large

range of cars, ranging from smaller low-cost cars to larger premium vehicles. Demand is influenced by technological advancements, particularly

in electric and full hybrid vehicles, market expectations for global vehicle production requirements, fuel prices, raw material input

costs and expectations of their recovery, consumer spending, credit availability, and other macroeconomic factors.

For Powder Metallurgy, growth is dependent on trends in the automotive

and industrial markets. Market expectations for global light vehicle production requirements, raw material input costs and technological

advancements, particularly in additive manufacturing, influence demand for these products along with other macroeconomic factors.

Long-term growth rates

Long-term growth rates are based on long-term forecasts for growth

in the sectors and geographies in which the group of CGUs operates. These rates are determined using forecasts that reflect the international

presence and the markets in which each business operates. The rates are applied to calculate a terminal value for cash flows after the

five-year period covered by management forecasts.

Sensitivity analysis

The models used to calculate value in use for each group of CGUs are

particularly sensitive to key assumptions around discount rates, long-term growth rates and underlying assumptions underpinning forecasts

including the impact of macroeconomic conditions such as interest rates and inflation on future sales and input prices which drive forecast

operating margins and ultimately cash flows.

11. Goodwill and other intangible assets continued

Automotive group of CGUs – sensitivity analysis

At 31 December 2025, forecasts determined that headroom of £240

million above the carrying amount existed for the Automotive group of CGUs. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that a reasonably possible

increase in the discount rate from 13.0% to 14.0%, would reduce headroom to £nil. Further increases in the discount rate to 14.4%

would result in an impairment charge of c.£95 million.

Management does not believe reasonably possible changes in the long-term

growth rate of 3.3% would result in headroom being eroded to £nil, however for indication purposes, a decrease in the long-term

growth rate to 2.5% would result in a reduction of headroom by £140 million. Operating margin assumptions are a key driver of business

value and an 11% reduction in the terminal operating profit would reduce operating profit margin by 1.0 percentage points, resulting

in headroom of £nil. An additional reduction in the terminal operating profit, representing a total reduction of 16%, would reduce

operating profit margin by 1.4 percentage points, resulting in an impairment charge of c.£98 million.

Powder Metallurgy group of CGUs – sensitivity analysis

At 31 December 2025, forecasts determined that headroom of £61

million above the carrying amount existed for the Powder Metallurgy group of CGUs. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that a reasonably

possible increase in the discount rate from 12.8% to 13.5%, would reduce headroom to £nil. Further increases in the discount rate

to 14.1% would result in an impairment charge of c.£45 million.

The value of the Powder Metallurgy group of CGUs remains sensitive

to and dependent upon the underlying forecast and financial assumptions in the future. Operating margin assumptions are a key driver

of business value and a reduction in the terminal operating profit by 9% would reduce the operating margin by 0.8 percentage points,

resulting in headroom of £nil. An additional reduction in the terminal operating profit, representing a total reduction of 15%,

would reduce operating profit margin by 1.4 percentage points, resulting in an impairment charge of c.£42 million. A reasonably

possible decrease in long-term growth rates from 3.5% to 2.4% would result in headroom of £nil. A further decrease in the long-term

growth rate to 1.4% would result in an impairment charge of c.£44 million being incurred.

For all sensitivities, it is assumed that all other variables remain

unchanged.

Impairments of £18 million (2024: £31 million) are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Assets under the course of construction at 31 December 2025 totalled

£151 million (31 December 2024: £176 million). Assets under the course of construction are presented as plant and equipment

until the point at which the asset is ready for use. Transfers of £9 million (2024: £50 million) between asset classes were

recorded on completion of construction projects.

The basis of testing for impaired assets, which resulted in a charge

totalling £18 million (2024: £31 million), primarily used fair value less costs to sell methodology which was classified

as a level 3 fair value under the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy. Impairments of £6 million in Automotive and £12 million in

Powder Metallurgy arose as a direct result of restructuring projects (2024: £22 million in Automotive and £5 million in Powder

Metallurgy as a result of restructuring, £4 million in Hydrogen relating to disposal of the business).

The assets and liabilities of Zhongyuan which were expected at the year end to be recovered through the sales process have been classified

as held for sale as at the balance sheet date and an impairment of £27 million recorded to reflect the agreed value for the business.

The portion of the impairment relating to the non-controlling interest is £11 million and has been allocated to profit/(loss) attributable

to non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Income Statement.

As described in Note 24, certain businesses participate in receivables

working capital programmes and have the ability to choose whether to receive payment earlier than the normal due date, for specific customers

on a non-recourse basis. As at 31 December 2025, eligible receivables under these programmes have been factored and derecognised in line

with the derecognition criteria of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

16. Trade and other receivables continued

An allowance has been made for expected lifetime credit losses with

reference to past default experience and management’s assessment of credit worthiness over trade receivables, an analysis of which

The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the large number

of unrelated customers. Credit control procedures are implemented to ensure that sales are only made to organisations that are willing

and able to pay for them. Such procedures include the establishment and review of customer credit limits and terms. The Group does not

hold any collateral or any other credit enhancements over any of its trade receivables nor does it have a legal right of offset against

any amounts owed by the Group to the counterparty.

As at 31 December 2025 the Group’s committed bank facility included

a multi-currency denominated term loan of £100 million and €100 million as well as a multi-currency denominated revolving

credit facility of £350 million, US$660 million and €450 million. In addition, the Group held notes of US$500 million

in the US Private Placement (USPP) market. The USPP notes were at fixed interest rates with remaining terms of between 4 and 11 years.

The bank facilities and USPP had two financial covenants being a leverage

covenant and an interest cover covenant, both of which were tested half yearly, in June and December. Further details on the covenants

and covenant compliance for the year ended 31 December 2025 are contained in Note 24.

Loans drawn under these facilities were guaranteed by Dowlais Group

Limited (formerly Dowlais Group plc) and certain of its subsidiaries, and the Group provided no security over any of its assets in respect

of these facilities.

At 31 December 2025, the term loans were fully drawn at £100

million and €100 million (2024: fully drawn at £100 million and €100 million). A further £165 million (2024: £140

million), US$380 million (2024: US$400 million) and €320 million (2024: €310 million) were drawn on the multi-currency revolving

credit facility. A number of uncommitted overdraft, guarantee and borrowing facilities were also available to the Group.

The bank margin on the bank facility depended on the Group’s

leverage. The average interest rate payable on the bank facilities and US PP, net of the impact of interest rate hedging, was 5.74% for

the year (2024: 6.32%).

Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition of the Group by Dauch

on 3 February 2026, the bank facilities were repaid in full and US$151 million of the USPP notes were also repaid. The repayments were

funded by way of a loan from Dauch, as set out in Note 30.

Loss-making contracts

Provisions for loss-making contracts are considered to exist where

the Group has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received

under it. This obligation has been discounted and will be utilised over the period of the respective contracts, which is up to five years.

Calculation of loss-making contract provisions is based on contract

documentation and delivery expectations, along with an estimate of directly attributable costs and represents management’s best

estimate of the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the contract.

Property related costs

The provision for property related costs represents dilapidation costs

for ongoing leases and is expected to result in cash expenditure over the next five years. Calculation of dilapidation obligations are

based on lease agreements with landlords and external quotes or, in the absence of specific documentation, management’s best estimate

of the costs required to fulfil obligations.

Environmental and litigation

Environmental provisions relate to the estimated remediation costs

of pollution, soil and groundwater contamination at certain sites and amounted to £12 million (2024: £15 million). Liabilities

for environmental costs are recognised when environmental remediation works are probable and the associated costs can be reasonably estimated.

The majority of the provision is anticipated to be utilised over the next 12 years.

Litigation provisions amounting to £22 million (2024: £25

million) relate to estimated future payments and/or settlements in relation to legal claims and associated insurance obligations. The

Group has on occasion been required to take legal or other actions to defend itself against proceedings brought by other parties. Provisions

are made for the expected costs associated with such matters, based on past experience of similar items and other known factors, considering

professional advice received. This represents management’s best estimate of the likely outcome. The timing of utilisation of these

provisions is frequently uncertain, reflecting the complexity of issues and the outcome of various court proceedings and negotiations.

Contractual and other provisions represent management’s best estimate of the cost of settling the obligations and reflect management’s

assessment of the likely settlement method, which may change over time. However, no provision is made for proceedings which have been,

or might be, brought by other parties against Group companies unless management, considering professional advice received, assess that

it is more likely than not that such proceedings may be successful.

Warranty related costs

Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations under local

sale of goods legislation are recognised at the date of sale of the relevant products and subsequently updated for changes in estimates

as necessary. The provision for warranty related costs represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group’s

obligations, based on past experience, recent claims and current estimates of costs relating to specific claims. Warranty terms are,

on average, between one and five years.

Restructuring

Restructuring provisions relate to committed costs in respect of restructuring

programmes, usually resulting in cash spend within three years. A restructuring provision is recognised when the Group has developed

a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring

by either starting to implement the plan or by announcing its main features to those affected by it. The measurement of a restructuring

provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those amounts that are necessarily entailed

by the restructuring programmes.

Other

Other provisions include long-term incentive plans for senior management

and the employer tax on equity-settled incentive schemes which are expected to result in cash expenditure over the next one to five years.

Where appropriate, provisions have been discounted using discount

rates depending on the territory in which the provision resides and the length of its expected utilisation.

A deferred tax asset of £83 million (2024: £63 million)

has been recognised in respect of £302 million (2024: £209 million) of tax losses. No asset has been recognised in respect

of the remaining losses of £507 million (2024: £424 million) due to the divisional and geographic split of anticipated future

profit streams. Most of these losses may be carried forward indefinitely subject to certain continuity of business requirements. Where

losses are subject to time expiry, a deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that sufficient future profits are anticipated to

utilise these losses. In addition to the corporate income tax losses included above, a deferred tax asset of £31 million (2024:

£27 million) has been recognised on tax credits (primarily US) and US state tax losses.

Deferred tax assets have also been recognised on Group retirement

benefit obligations at £38 million (2024: £54 million).

There are no material unrecognised deferred tax assets at 31 December

2025 (2024: £nil), other than the losses referred to above. No deferred tax is recognised on the unremitted earnings of overseas

subsidiaries except where the distribution of such profits is planned. If these earnings were remitted in full, tax of £61 million

(2024: £56 million) would be payable.

Following completion of the acquisition of the Group by Dauch on 3

February 2026, certain tax attributes may expire under applicable local tax laws as a result of the change in ownership of the Group.

The Group is assessing the impact of this on its recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets.

22. Share-based payments

During the year, the Company recognised a charge of £3 million

(2024: £1 million) in respect of the Group’s share incentive schemes.

At 31 December 2025, the share-based payment arrangements were as

follows:

2023 Performance Share Plan (PSP)

Vesting condition

Three years’ service, achievement of target growth in earnings per share and achievement of a total shareholder return ranking against comparator group.

Each employee share award converts into one ordinary share of the

Company on vesting. No amounts are paid or payable by recipient on receipt of the award. The awards carry neither rights to dividends

nor voting rights. Awards are forfeited if the employee leaves the Company before the share awards vest, unless the Remuneration Committee

deems the employee a good leaver, in which case a discretionary award may be granted.

Details of the share awards outstanding during the year are as follows:

23. Retirement benefit obligations

Defined contribution plans

The Group operates defined contribution plans for qualifying employees

across several jurisdictions. The assets of the plans are held separately from those of the Group in funds under the control of Trustees.

The total costs charged during the year of £13 million (2024:

£14 million) represent contributions payable to these plans by the Group at rates specified in the rules of the plans.

Defined benefit plans

The Group sponsors defined benefit plans for qualifying employees

of certain subsidiaries. The funded defined benefit plans are administered by separate funds that are legally separated from the Group.

The Trustees of the funds are required by law to act in the interest of the fund and of all relevant stakeholders in the plans. The Trustees

of the pension funds are responsible for the investment policy with regard to the assets of the fund.

The most significant defined benefit pension plans in the Group at

31 December 2025 were:

UK: GKN Group Pension Schemes (No.2 and No.3)

The GKN Group Pension Schemes (Numbers 2 and 3) are disclosed within

the Automotive segment. These schemes are funded, closed to new members and were closed to future accrual in 2017. The valuation of the

schemes was based on the latest triennial statutory actuarial valuation as of 5 April 2022, updated to 31 December 2025 by independent

actuaries. The next triennial valuation of the schemes as of April 2025 is currently underway.

US: GKN Automotive and GKN Powder Coatings Pension Plans

The GKN Automotive and GKN Powder Coatings Pension Plans are funded

plans, closed to new members and closed to future accrual. The valuation of these plans was based on a full actuarial valuation as of

1 January 2025, updated to 31 December 2025 by independent actuaries.

Germany: GKN Germany Pension Plans

The GKN Germany Pension Plans provide benefits dependent on final

salary and service with the Company. The plans are generally unfunded and closed to new members.

Other plans include a number of funded and unfunded defined benefit

arrangements and retiree medical insurance plans, predominantly in the US and Europe.

The cost of the Group’s defined benefit plans is determined

in accordance with IAS 19 (revised 2011) Employee Benefits, using the advice of independent professionally qualified actuaries on the

basis of formal actuarial valuations and using the projected unit credit method. In line with normal practice, statutory scheme valuations

are undertaken triennially in the UK and annually in the US and Germany.

Contributions

The Group contributed £34 million (2024: £44 million)

to defined benefit pension plans and retirement plans in the year ended 31 December 2025 including a deficit reduction payment to GKN

Group Pension Scheme No. 3 of £5 million.

In 2026, the Group expects to contribute c.£30 million to the

plans including an estimate of the annual deficit reduction payment to GKN Group Pension Scheme No. 3. The deficit reduction payment

is of a variable amount contingent on the funding valuation of the scheme at 31 December and for 2026 is capped at the lower of £17

million or the funding deficit on the scheme.

Mortality

GKN Group Pension Schemes (No.2 – No.3)

The GKN Group Pension Schemes (No.2 – No.3) use the SAPS “S3PA”

base tables with scheme-specific adjustments. The base table mortality assumption for each of the UK schemes reflects best estimate results

from the most recent mortality experience analyses for each scheme. Weighting factors vary by scheme.

Future improvements for all UK plans are in line with the 2023 Continuous

Mortality Investigation (“CMI”) core projection model (SK = 7.0, A = 0%, w2022 =w2023= 15%) with a long-term rate of improvement

of 1.25% p.a. for both males and females.

GKN US Consolidated Pension Plan

GKN US Pension and Medical Plans use base mortality tables (PRI 2012)

as used in the funding valuation. Future improvements for all US plans are in line with MP2021.

GKN Germany Pension Plans

All German plans use the Richttafeln 2018 G tables, with no adjustment.

Pension Scheme (No.3) of £7 million (2024: £nil).

A retirement benefit surplus is recognised in relation to the GKN

Group Pension Schemes (No.2 and No.3) as the Group has an unconditional right to a refund of surplus assets when there are no remaining

members of the schemes.

The net retirement benefit obligation is attributable to Automotive:

liability of £329 million (2024: £360 million) and Powder Metallurgy: liability of £19 million (2024: £24 million).

Primarily consists of cash collateral and other assets associated with liability driven investments in the UK schemes.

The assets were well diversified and the majority of plan assets had

quoted prices in active markets. All government bonds were issued by reputable governments and were generally AA rated or higher. Interest

rate and inflation rate swaps were also employed to complement the role of fixed and index-linked bond holdings for liability risk management.

The Trustees continually review whether the chosen investment strategy

is appropriate with a view to providing the pension benefits and to ensure appropriate matching of risk and return profiles. The main

strategic policies included maintaining an appropriate asset mix, managing interest rate sensitivity and maintaining an appropriate equity

buffer. Investment results are regularly reviewed.

Risks and sensitivities

The defined benefit plans expose the Group to actuarial risks, such

as longevity risk, inflation risk, interest rate risk and market (investment) risk. The Group is not exposed to any unusual, entity specific

or plan specific risks.

The inflation sensitivity encompasses the impact on pension increases and salary increases, where applicable.

The sensitivity analysis above was determined based on reasonably

possible changes to the respective assumptions, while holding all other assumptions constant. There has been no change in the methods

or assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years. Sensitivities are based on the relevant assumptions and membership

profile as at 31 December 2025 and are applied to obligations at the end of the reporting period. Whilst the analysis does not take account

of the full distribution of cash flows expected, it does provide an approximation to the sensitivity of assumptions shown. Extrapolation

of these results beyond the sensitivity figures shown may not be appropriate and the sensitivity analysis presented may not be representative

of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one

another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

24. Financial instruments and risk management

continued

The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is derived

from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e.

derived from prices) and they are therefore categorised within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy set out in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and out of the different fair value hierarchy levels at the date of the event

or change in circumstances that caused the transfer to occur. There have been no transfers between levels during the current year.

In the prior year, the fair value of the derivative over own equity

was derived from unobservable inputs and as such, classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy set out in IFRS 13. Inputs to the

valuation included the terms of the contract under which the asset arose, the Company’s share price and expected volatility in

the share price. The asset was settled during the year by receipt of the Company’s shares with the derecognition of the asset recorded

directly in equity.

Management consider all other financial assets and liabilities to

have carrying values that are reasonable approximations of their fair values.

Credit risk

The Group’s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents,

trade receivables and derivative financial assets which represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial

assets.

The Group’s credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and derivative

financial assets is limited because the ultimate counterparties are banks with investment grade credit ratings assigned by international

credit rating agencies. Exposure is managed on the basis of risk rating and counterparty limits. The value of credit risk in derivative

assets is modelled using publicly available inputs as part of their fair value.

The Group’s credit risk is therefore primarily attributable

to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are net of an allowance for expected credit losses,

estimated by the Group’s management based on prior experience and their assessment of the current economic environment. Note 16

provides further details regarding the recovery of trade receivables.

Capital risk

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group

will be able to continue as a going concern. The capital structure of the Group consists of interest-bearing loans and borrowings less

cash and cash equivalents as disclosed in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and equity attributable to the owners of the parent, comprising

issued share capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.

Liquidity risk management

Overview of banking facilities

At 31 December 2025 the Group’s committed bank facilities included

a multi-currency denominated term loan of £100 million and €100 million as well as a multi-currency denominated revolving

credit facility of £350 million, US$660 million and €450 million. Details of amounts drawn under these facilities at year

end are included in Note 19.

The revolving credit and term loan facilities had an initial maturity

date of 20 April 2026, the Group had the option to extend the maturity of the revolving credit facility by up to two years, at its sole

discretion.

In addition, the Group held notes of US$500 million in the US Private

Placement (USPP) market. The USPP notes were at fixed interest rates with remaining terms of between 4 and 11 years.

Loans drawn under the bank facilities and USPP were guaranteed by

Dowlais Group Limited (formerly Dowlais Group plc) and certain of its subsidiaries, and the Group provided no security over any of its

assets in respect of these.

Cash amounted to £386 million at year end (2024: £336

million) with an additional £7 million (2024: £nil) of cash classified as held for sale, which together are offset against

interest-bearing loans and borrowings of £1,321 million (2024: £1,304 million).

Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition of the Group by Dauch

on 3 February 2026, the bank facilities were repaid in full and US$151 million of the USPP notes were also repaid. The repayments were

funded by way of a loan from Dauch.

The committed bank funding and USPP had two financial covenants, both

of which were tested half-yearly in June and December.

Interest rates on the USPP are fixed subject to the Group maintaining

an investment grade credit rating. Following completion of the acquisition of the Group by Dauch, on 3 February 2026 the credit rating

of the Group was downgraded and an additional one percentage point was added to the interest rate until the Group’s credit rating

returns to investment grade.

Working capital

The Group has a small number of uncommitted working capital programmes,

which provide favourable financing terms on eligible customer receipts and competitive financing terms to suppliers on eligible supplier

payments.

Businesses that participate in these customer related finance programmes

have the ability to choose whether to receive payment earlier than the normal due date, for specific customers on a non-recourse basis.

As at 31 December 2025, the drawings on these facilities were £198 million (2024: £168 million).

Some suppliers may utilise the Group’s supplier finance programmes,

which are provided by a limited number of the Group’s relationship banks. There is no cost to the Group for providing these programmes

to its suppliers. These arrangements do not change the date suppliers are due to be paid by the Group, and therefore there is no additional

impact on the Group’s liquidity. These programmes allow suppliers to choose, at their sole discretion, whether they want to accelerate

the payment of their invoices, by the financing banks, for an interest cost which is competitive and based on the credit rating of the

Group as determined by the financing banks funding each programme. The amounts owed by the Group to the banks in relation to amounts

suppliers have drawn under these programmes are included in trade payables on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the cash flows are presented

in cash flows from operating activities. The arrangements do not change the timing of the Group’s cash outflows.

Payment dates for trade payables under supplier finance arrangements,

and comparable trade payables which are not financed, are generally between 60 and 120 days. Payment terms vary across the Group depending

on individual supplier agreements and the jurisdictions under which the purchases are made. The total of supplier invoices under these

facilities as at 31 December 2025 was £120 million (2024: £148 million). Movement on this balance in the year includes a

£5 million non-cash decrease due to exchange rate movements. Of the balance at 31 December 2025, £71 million had been

paid by the facilitating banks to suppliers (2024: £79 million).

Finance cost risk management

The bank margin on the bank facility depends on the Group’s

leverage. Management performs periodic reviews of the Group’s interest rate exposure and fix a proportion of the exposure as deemed

necessary at that time. As at 31 December 2025, 36% of the Group’s interest exposure was fixed (2024: 46%).

Interest rate risk

Cash flow hedges

The Group uses interest rate swaps to hedge against the risk of interest

rate fluctuation on the floating rate debt. The fair value of the interest rate swaps as at 31 December 2025 was £nil (31 December

2024: asset of £3 million).

There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the

hedging instrument in relation to SOFR (2024: SOFR and EURIBOR) interest cash flows. The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for

the hedging relationships based on the notional of the hedging instrument and the hedged item. Group management performs periodic prospective

effectiveness assessments to determine hedge effectiveness.

As a result of the anticipated acquisition of the Group by Dauch,

the interest cash flows on the floating rate debt were deemed to no longer be probable and hedge accounting was discontinued.

During the year movements on the interest rate swaps comprised a debit

of £2 million (2024: credit of £2 million) booked to derivatives losses on hedge relationships within other comprehensive

income, £1 million credit (2024: £8 million) booked to interest in the Consolidated Income Statement, and a cash inflow of

£2 million (2024: £10 million).

Hedge ineffectiveness may occur due to:

Differences in the timing of the

cash flows of the hedged items and the hedging instruments;

The counterparties’ credit risk differently impacting the fair

value movements of the hedging instruments and hedged items;

Changes to the forecasted amount

of cash flows of hedged items and hedging instruments; or

Mismatches in payment frequency

and/or reset dates.

During the year ended 31 December 2025, some of the critical terms

of the interest rate swaps and the hedged items were not perfectly matched; however, this did not give rise to any ineffectiveness through

the Consolidated Income Statement in the year (2024: £nil).

24. Financial instruments and risk management continued

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

Assuming the net debt, inclusive of interest rate swaps, held as at

the balance sheet date was outstanding for the whole year, a one percentage point rise in market interest rates for all currencies would

decrease profit before tax by the following amounts:

Euro

On the basis of the floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps in place

at the balance sheet date, a one percentage point fall in market interest rates for all currencies would have £nil impact on Group

equity (2024: decrease Group equity by £4 million).

Exchange rate risk management

The Group trades in various countries around the world and is exposed

to movements in a number of foreign currencies. The Group therefore carries exchange rate risk that can be categorised into three types:

transaction, translation and disposal related risk as described in the paragraphs below. The Group’s policy is designed to protect

against the majority of the cash risks but not the non-cash risks.

The most common exchange rate risk is the transaction risk the Group

takes when it invoices a customer or purchases from suppliers in a different currency to the underlying functional currency of the relevant

business. The Group’s policy is to review transactional foreign exchange exposures, and place appropriate hedging contracts, quarterly

on a rolling basis. To the extent the cash flows associated with a transactional foreign exchange risk are committed, the Group will

hedge up to 100% at the time that the cash flow becomes committed. For forecast and variable material cash flows, the Group hedges a

proportion of the expected cash flows on a phased basis over a time horizon of up to two years in accordance with the Group’s treasury

policy.

The average time horizons for GKN Automotive and GKN Powder Metallurgy

reflect the long-term nature of the contracts within these divisions. Typically, in total the Group hedges a minimum of 70% of foreign

exchange exposures expected over the following year, and 40% to 60% of exposures between one and two years. This policy reduces, but

does not eliminate, the cash risk.

The translation rate risk is the effect on the Group’s results

in the year due to the movement in exchange rates used to translate results in foreign currencies into Sterling from one period to the

next. No specific exchange instruments are used to protect against the translation risk because until foreign currency is converted to

Sterling, this is a non-cash risk to the Group.

Finally, exchange rate risk arises when a business that reports in

a currency, other than Sterling, is sold. The proceeds for those businesses may be received in a foreign currency and therefore an exchange

rate risk may arise on conversion of the foreign currency proceeds into Sterling. Protection against this risk is considered on a case-by-case

basis and, if appropriate, hedged at that time.

As at 31 December 2025, the Group held foreign exchange forward and

swap contracts to mitigate expected exchange rate fluctuations on future cash flows from sales to customers and purchases from suppliers.

The fair value of all foreign exchange forward and swap contracts across the Group was a net asset at 31 December 2025 of £33 million

(2024: net liability of £31 million).

Hedge of net investment in foreign operations

The interest-bearing loans as at 31 December 2025 (Note 19) include

US Dollar borrowings of US$880 million (2024: US$900 million) and Euro borrowings of €420 million (2024: €410 million),

which have been designated as hedges of the Group’s net investments in US Dollar and Euro denominated subsidiaries respectively.

These borrowings are used to hedge the Group’s exposure to the foreign exchange risk on these investments. Gains or losses on the

retranslation of these borrowing are recorded in other comprehensive income to offset any gains or losses on translation of the net investments

in the subsidiaries.

There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the

hedging instrument as the net investment creates a translation risk that matches the risks of foreign exchange fluctuation on the borrowings.

The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 as the underlying risk of the hedging instrument is identical to the hedged risk component.

The Group performs periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to determine hedge effectiveness.

24. Financial instruments and risk management continued

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

Currency risks are defined by IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures

as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial asset or liability will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange

rates.

The following table details the transactional impact of hypothetical

changes in foreign exchange rates on financial assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, illustrating the increase in Group operating

profit caused by a 10% strengthening of the US Dollar, Euro and Mexican Peso against Sterling compared to the year end spot rate. The

analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular other foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant. The Group operates in

a range of different currencies, and those with a notable impact are shown below:

other foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.

In addition, the change in equity due to a 10% strengthening of the

US Dollar against Sterling for the translation of net investment hedging instruments would be a decrease of £65 million (2024:

decrease of £71 million) and for the Euro, a decrease of £37 million (2024: decrease of £34 million). However, there

would be no overall effect on equity because there would be an offset in the currency translation of the foreign operations.

Fair value measurements recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet

Foreign currency forward contracts are measured using quoted forward

exchange rates and yield curves derived from quoted interest rates matching the maturities of the contracts.

Interest rate swap contracts are measured using yield curves derived

In the ordinary course of business, sales and purchases of goods take

equity accounted investments in the year totalled £8 million (2024: £7 million). Purchases by subsidiaries from equity accounted

investments totalled £13 million (2024: £12 million). At 31 December 2025, there were no amounts receivable from equity accounted

investments (2024: £nil) and amounts payable to equity accounted investments totalled £2 million (2024: £3 million).

29. Contingent liabilities

As a result of historical acquisitions, certain contingent legal and

warranty liabilities were identified as part of the fair value review of these acquisition balance sheets. Whilst it is difficult to

reasonably estimate the timing and ultimate outcome of these claims, the Directors’ best estimate has been included in the Consolidated

Balance Sheet where they existed at the time of acquisition and hence were recognised in accordance with IFRS 3 Business combinations.

Where a provision has been recognised, information regarding the different categories of such liabilities and the amount and timing of

outflows is included within Note 20.

Given the nature of the Group’s business many of the Group’s

products have a large installed base, and any recalls or reworks related to such products could be particularly costly. The costs of

product recalls or reworks are not always covered by insurance. Recalls or reworks may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s

financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Group has contingent liabilities representing guarantees and contract

bonds given in the ordinary course of business on behalf of trading subsidiaries. No losses are anticipated to arise on these contingent

liabilities. The Group does not have any other significant contingent liabilities.

30. Post balance sheet events

On 29 January 2025, the boards of Dowlais and Dauch announced that

they reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash and share acquisition by Dauch of the entire issued and to be issued ordinary

share capital of Dowlais.

As a result of the Court sanction of the scheme, on 30 January 2026

awards over Dowlais ordinary shares vested to certain Group employees. To enable the vested awards to be satisfied, the Group issued

11,127,886 new shares.

On 3 February 2026, the acquisition was implemented by way of a Court-sanctioned

scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006. Simon Mackenzie Smith, Liam Butterworth, Celia Baxter, Philip Harrison,

Shali Vasudeva and Fiona MacAulay tendered their resignations and stepped down from the Dowlais Board whilst John Nicholson was appointed

to the Dowlais Board.

In accordance with the terms of the agreement, each Dowlais shareholder,

where no valid election was made under the Mix and Match Facility (which allowed shareholders to choose between receiving cash or shares),

received 0.0881 new shares of common stock of Dauch and 43 pence in cash for each Dowlais share held.

Subsequent to the Group’s acquisition by Dauch on 3 February

2026, Dauch provided funding to the Group by way of an inter-company loan which the Group used to repay and cancel its existing RCF and

term loan facilities in full, and an offer was made to the USPP note holders to redeem the notes. On 4 February 2026, the Group’s

shares were cancelled from admission to trading on London Stock Exchange.

On the same day, Dauch implemented an internal restructure to transfer

all US subsidiaries of the Group out of Dowlais ownership.

On 9 March 2026, the Group repaid US$151 million of USPP notes.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED

PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(in

millions, except per share amounts)

On February

3, 2026, Dauch Corporation (formerly American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc.) (“we,” “our,” “us,”

“Dauch” or “the Company”) completed our previously announced acquisition of Dowlais Group plc (Dowlais) whereby

we acquired the entire issued share capital of Dowlais (the Business Combination). Pursuant to the Business Combination, Dowlais shareholders

received for each Dowlais ordinary share (the Dowlais Shares): 0.0881 shares of new Dauch Corporation common stock (the Dauch shares)

and 43 pence per share in cash (approximately $0.59 per share as of the closing date), resulting in the issuance of approximately 117

million Dauch shares and a total purchase price of approximately $1.7 billion.

The aggregate

cash consideration for the Business Combination was financed using (i) a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance in October 2025

by the Company of $850 million of 6.375% senior secured notes due 2032 and $1,250 million of 7.75% senior unsecured notes due 2033 and

(ii) borrowings by the Company of $835 million on an incremental Tranche C term facility.

The following

unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (comprised of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet,

unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income and the related notes, and collectively referred to as the unaudited pro forma

condensed combined financial information) gives effect to the Business Combination and related financing, which includes adjustments

for the following:

· the

conversion of Dowlais’ historical financial statements from pound sterling to U.S.

Dollars;

· certain

reclassifications to conform Dowlais’ historical financial statement presentation to

Dauch’s presentation;

· the

conversion of Dowlais’ historical financial statements prepared in accordance with

IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), to

generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP);

· application

of the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification

805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), and to reflect consideration

transferred in exchange for 100% of all outstanding Dowlais Shares; and

· transaction

and financing costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination.

The unaudited

pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

(i)

the historical consolidated financial statements of Dauch and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year

ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on February 13, 2026, and

(ii)

the consolidated financial statements of Dowlais for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes, which are included in our

Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 17, 2026.

The unaudited

pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2025 combines the historical consolidated statement

of income of Dauch and Dowlais, giving effect to the adjustments made in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflecting

the accounting for the Business Combination assuming those adjustments were made January 1, 2025. The accompanying unaudited pro forma

condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Dauch and Dowlais, giving

effect to adjustments reflecting the accounting for the Business Combination.

To produce

the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the Company adjusted Dowlais’ assets and liabilities to their

estimated fair values. As of the date of the filing of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Dauch has not

finalized the detailed valuation analysis necessary to arrive at the final determination of the fair value of Dowlais’ assets and

liabilities and any increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet amounts will result in adjustments to the balance

sheet and/or statement of income of the combined entity (the Combined Group) until the purchase price allocation is finalized. There

can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes from the preliminary purchase price allocation included

in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and therefore these changes could have a material impact

on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined entity’s future results of operations

and financial position.

The value

of the stock consideration in the Business Combination is based on the trading price of Dauch Shares at the time of the completion of

the Business Combination. The preliminary unaudited pro forma purchase price allocation has been made solely for the purpose of preparing

the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The preliminary purchase price allocation is based the

preliminary results of a third-party valuation assessment, reviews of publicly disclosed allocations for other acquisitions in the automotive

supplier industry, Dauch’s historical experience, data that was available through the public domain and Dauch’s review of

Dowlais’ business and financial records.

The accompanying

unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that

may result from the realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies, or any other synergies that may result from the Business

Combination. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes

are reasonable as of the date hereof. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational

purposes only and does not purport to indicate the results that would actually have been obtained had the Business Combination been completed

on the assumed date or for the periods presented, or which may be realized in the future.

Notes

to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The accompanying

unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as adopted

by the SEC, and is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and Dowlais. Our historical financial statements

were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. Dollars. Dowlais’ historical financial statements were prepared

in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and presented in pound sterling. The historical Dowlais financial statements have been

translated to U.S. Dollars as discussed in Note 7.

The unaudited pro forma condensed

combined financial information reflects pro forma adjustments for:

(i)

the conversion of Dowlais’ historical financial statements from pound sterling to U.S. Dollars;

(ii) reclassifications

resulting from differences in the Company’s and Dowlais’ accounting policies or changes to financial statement presentation

to conform the financial statements of Dauch and Dowlais (Note 2 - Effect of Reclassification Adjustments);

(iii)

adjustments to Dowlais’ financial statements for differences in accounting treatment and/or financial statement presentation between

IFRS and U.S. GAAP (Note 3 - IFRS to U.S. GAAP Adjustments); and

(iv) adjustments

to reflect the consideration transferred in exchange for 100% of all outstanding Dowlais Shares and the resulting application of the

acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, as well as estimated transaction costs anticipated to be incurred and financing costs

incurred in connection with the Business Combination (Note 4 - Consideration Transferred and Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price,

Note 5 - Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet and Note 6 - Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma

Condensed Combined Statement of Income).

The unaudited

pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been prepared giving effect to adjustments reflecting the accounting for the Business

Combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income has been prepared to give effect to the adjustments made

in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflecting the accounting for the Business Combination assuming those adjustments

were made on January 1, 2025.

The accompanying

unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared reflecting, among others, the accounting for the Business Combination

using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC 805 with Dauch considered the acquirer of Dowlais. The acquisition

method generally requires the acquirer to allocate the purchase price to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired entity

based on the acquisition-date fair values of the assets and liabilities, with certain exceptions.

For purposes

of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, we have calculated the purchase price (Note 4 - Consideration

Transferred and Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price) and have allocated the purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible

assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the closing date of the Business Combination.

The following

table represents the exchange rates used throughout the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Dowlais’

historical financial statements and pro forma adjustments were translated from pound sterling to U.S. Dollars using the period-end rate

for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and a historical average rate during the period

for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The pro

forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The unaudited

pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent or be

indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company had the Business Combination been completed

as of the dates presented and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial

condition of the combined entity.

Effect of Reclassification Adjustments

The

table below represents a summary of reclassification adjustments made to conform the presentation of Dowlais’ balance sheet as

of December 31, 2025 to that of Dauch and to conform the material differences in the significant accounting policies of Dowlais to those

of Dauch.

IFRS to U.S. GAAP Adjustments

The historical

consolidated financial statements of Dowlais have been prepared under IFRS accounting standards. The IFRS to U.S. GAAP adjustments outlined

below represent conforming adjustments to present Dowlais’ financial statements under U.S. GAAP. These adjustments are preliminary

and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analysis is performed.

Leases

Dowlais,

in its capacity as a lessee, accounts for substantially all leases under one accounting model, which is effectively equivalent to that

of a finance lease under U.S. GAAP. The primary difference in the two models is the classification of lease expense where Dowlais’

records a portion of lease expense to depreciation expense and a portion to interest expense. Under U.S. GAAP, operating leases are recorded

on a straight-line basis to operating lease expense, which is not classified as depreciation or interest.

The following adjustments

have been made for Dowlais’ leases under U.S. GAAP:

(i) Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed

Combined Balance Sheet impact:

Leases classified as operating

leases are reclassified to Operating lease right-of-use assets from Property, plant and equipment, net and their corresponding lease

liabilities to Current portion of operating lease liabilities and Long-term portion of operating lease liabilities for the current and

non-current portion, respectively. This adjustment reclassifies $72.2 million of operating lease right-of-use assets from Property, plant

and equipment, net to Operating lease right-of-use assets, reclassifies $17.1 million from Accrued expenses and other to Current portion

of operating lease liabilities and reclassifies $55.1 million from Postretirement benefits and other long-term liabilities to Long-term

portion of operating lease liabilities.

(ii) Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed

Combined Statement of Income impact:

Under

IFRS, finance lease expenses are classified as depreciation and interest whereas under U.S. GAAP operating leases are recorded as lease

expense on a straight-line basis. For the year ended December 31, 2025, this adjustment reclassifies $3.4 million of previously recognized

interest expense to Cost of goods sold and reclassifies $0.8 million of previously recognized interest expense to SG&A for the leases

that are classified as operating leases under U.S. GAAP. The interest expense was reclassified proportionally based on an approximation

of Dowlais’ expense recognition for leases between Cost of goods sold and SG&A.

Provisions for loss-making contracts

Under IFRS, Dowlais has

recorded provisions for loss-making (onerous) contracts. IFRS provides for a more broadly applicable principle to be applied to contracts

that are determined to be onerous, while U.S. GAAP requires that provisions be recorded for onerous contracts in certain limited circumstances

under ASC 605, primarily when the contracts are construction-type or production-type contracts. Dowlais does not have contracts that

qualify as construction-type or production-type contracts. This adjustment removes $6.7 million from Accrued expenses and other and $1.3

million from Postretirement benefits and other long-term liabilities associated with Dowlais’ provision for loss-making contracts

as we do not believe that the contracts would meet the requirements for provision under U.S. GAAP. There was no expense associated with

loss-making contracts in the year ended December 31, 2025 and thus no adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement

of income.

Pension interest

Under IFRS, Dowlais presents

its net interest cost on pensions as a component of Interest expense. The Company presents all components of net periodic pension and

postretirement benefit costs other than service costs in Other income (expense), net. For the year ended December 31, 2025, this adjustment

reclassifies $18.0 million of Dowlais’ net interest cost on pensions from Interest expense to Other income (expense), net.

Factoring commissions

Under IFRS, Dowlais presents

its factoring commissions as a component of Interest expense. The Company presents factoring commissions within Other income (expense),

net. For the year ended December 31, 2025, this adjustment reclassifies $10.5 million of Dowlais’ factoring commissions from Interest

expense to Other income (expense), net.

$ 1,724.7

(i) Upon closing, Dowlais shareholders received 0.0881

Dauch Shares for each Dowlais Share held. ASC 805 requires the calculation of consideration be performed as of the closing date of

the Business Combination. The number of Dowlais Shares issued and outstanding includes approximately 15 million shares associated

with unvested Dowlais outstanding share awards that were settled and are attributable to pre-Business Combination

service.

(ii) Upon closing, Dowlais shareholders received 43

pence per share in cash for each Dowlais Share held, which translated to $0.59 per Dowlais Share at the closing date. This amount

also includes approximately $10 million for the settlement of certain Dowlais compensation awards at closing that were attributable

to pre-Business Combination service. As this $10 million was included in consideration transferred, and had been previously accrued

in Dowlais’ balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, we removed this accrual through a Transaction Adjustment in the unaudited

pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

b. Preliminary

Allocation of Purchase Price

The

purchase price, as shown in the table above, is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Dowlais

based on their preliminary estimated fair values. As further discussed in Note 1 - Basis of Pro Forma Presentation, the fair value assessments

are preliminary and are based upon available information and certain assumptions which the Company believes are reasonable. Actual results

may differ materially from the assumptions used within the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Raw materials inventory was not adjusted as the carrying value of raw materials is assumed to represent fair value. The portion of the

preliminary adjustment that relates to finished goods is based on the estimated selling price of the inventory less costs to sell the

inventory and a reasonable profit margin on the sale. The portion of the preliminary adjustment associated with work-in-progress inventory

includes estimated costs to complete the inventory and also includes a reasonable profit margin. Changes in these inputs could have a

significant impact on the valuation of inventories. See Note 6e for the associated impact on Cost of goods sold.

income taxes arises from the preliminary fair values of inventories, property plant and equipment, and other assets and deferred charges

due to the transaction. These adjustments were based on the statutory tax rate in the U.K. of 25% applied to the associated adjustments

to fair value. The effective tax rate of the Combined Group could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-closing

Business Combination activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and changes in tax law. Because the tax rate used

for the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information is estimated, the rate will likely vary from the actual effective

rate in periods subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination. The determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon

the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

The corresponding tax effect has reduced income taxes payable within Accrued expenses and other by $3.2 million. See Note 5a and Note 6g for additional detail.

A corresponding

impact has been recorded within Cash and cash equivalents of $50.0 million, which represents total expected cash payments for compensation-related

items associated with the Business Combination. This adjustment also resulted in a reduction of Accrued compensation and benefits of

$37.0 million for the portion of the payment that was accrued in Dowlais’ balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.

(iii)

The Company expects to incur approximately $185.0 million of total transaction costs associated with the Business Combination, of which

approximately $133.0 million were incurred prior to December 31, 2025 and are reflected in the historical consolidated financial statements

of Dauch and Dowlais. This adjustment reflects the additional charge for transaction costs ($52.0 million pre-tax and $39.0 million net

of tax) not yet incurred and not previously reflected in the historical financial statements of the Company or Dowlais.

A corresponding impact has

been recorded within Cash and cash equivalents of $90.0 million, which represents the total expected cash payments for transaction costs

of $185.0 million less $95.0 million paid by Dauch and Dowlais in 2025. This adjustment also resulted in a reduction of income taxes

payable of $13.0 million for the corresponding tax effect and an adjustment of $38.0 million for accrued transaction costs incurred but

not yet paid that were presented in Accrued expenses and other in the historical balance sheets of Dauch and Dowlais as of December 31,

2025. In addition, $52.0 million has been recorded within Restructuring and acquisition-related costs in the unaudited pro forma condensed

combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 5a and Note 6g for additional detail.

6. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro

Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Income

The items

below represent pro forma adjustments reflected in the Transaction Adjustments column of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement

of income and are expected to have a continuing impact on the Combined Group unless stated otherwise.

a. Reflects the pro forma adjustment

c. Reflects

the pro forma adjustment to depreciation expense for acquired property, plant and equipment,

which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. The

adjustment represents incremental depreciation expense based on the estimated preliminary

fair values and useful lives of the property, plant and equipment, as follows:

Combination to reflect the step-up in fair value of acquired inventories which is higher

than Dowlais historical cost. See Note 5b for additional detail.

(in millions)

f. As

discussed in Note 5 - Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet,

the Company incurred new debt as result of the Business Combination that was used, in part,

to fund the cash consideration payable in connection with the Business Combination, related

fees and expenses, and repay certain existing indebtedness of Dowlais. The Company incurred

$2,935.0 million of additional debt associated with the Business Combination, of which $2,100

million was incurred in October 2025 and is included in Dauch’s balance as of December

31, 2025, while the remaining $835.0 million was incurred at closing of the Business Combination.

The maturities approximate seven years and resulted in an estimated weighted average interest

rate of 7.0%, plus the amortization of debt issuance costs. The following calculation represents

the preliminary estimate of the impact on Interest expense as a result of the new borrowings

and repayment of certain existing long-term indebtedness of Dowlais.

Adjustment to Interest expense

$ 96.4

The Company incurred $99.4

million of total debt issuance costs associated with these borrowings, of which $28.2 million was paid in 2025 and included in Dauch’s

balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, while the remaining $71.2 million is presented as a Transaction Adjustment in the unaudited pro

forma condensed combined financial information as a use of cash in Note 5a and a reduction of Long-term debt in Note 5g. These debt issuance

costs will be amortized into Interest expense over the life of the borrowings. The impact of a 1/8% (12.5 basis points) change in the

interest rate on $835 million of variable rate debt that was incurred as a result of the Business Combination would result in a change

of approximately $1.0 million in Interest expense on an annual basis.

g. Reflects the adjustment for transaction

costs associated with the Business Combination, as follows:

Year Ended

December 31,

2025

Note

(in millions)

Expected transaction costs

(i)

$ 52.0

Estimated expense for Dowlais’ compensation awards attributable to post-Business Combination service and retention awards

(ii)

Total

$ 65.0

(i) Represents estimated transaction costs directly attributable to the Business Combination that are expected to be incurred and are not recorded within the historical consolidated statement of income of the Company or Dowlais. These costs are assumed to be settled in cash in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet (see Note 5a). Transaction costs are non-recurring and not expected to be incurred in any period beyond 12 months from the closing date of the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflects $52.0 million ($39.0 million net of tax) of non-recurring transaction costs as if those costs were incurred on January 1, 2025. See Note 5i for additional detail.

(ii) Represents $13.0 million ($9.8 million net of tax) of estimated expense related to Dowlais’ compensation awards attributable to post-Business Combination service and retention payments to Dowlais employees following the Business Combination with certain future service requirements. These costs are not recorded within the historical consolidated statement of income of Dowlais and are assumed to have been settled in cash in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet (see Note 5a).

h. To

record the income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments utilizing the statutory income

tax rate in the U.K. of 25% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The effective tax rate

of the Combined Group could be significantly different (higher or lower) depending on post-closing

Business Combination activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and

changes in tax laws. Because the tax rate used for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined

financial information is estimated, the rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate

in periods subsequent to the Business Combination. This determination is preliminary and

subject to change based upon, among other factors, the final determination of the fair value

of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

i. The

pro forma basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are a combination of our

historical weighted average Dauch Shares and the share impact as a result of the Business

Combination. The pro forma basic and diluted loss per share calculations are based on the

adjusted basic and diluted weighted average shares following the Business Combination. The

basic and diluted loss per share are the same for the year ended December 31, 2025 as the

impact of potentially dilutive share-based compensation would have been antidilutive.

The calculation

of pro forma loss per share is as follows:
