Scapa Group Limited
Strategic Report
For the year ended 31 December 2022
The directors present the audited annual report and accounts for the period ending 31 December 2022.
The ultimate controlling party of Scapa Group Limited during the year was Schweitzer- Maudit International Inc. In July 2022, Schweitzer- Maudit International Inc. merged with Neenah Inc. to form Mativ Holdings Inc.
The principal activity of the Company is to act as an intermediate holding company within the Mativ Holdings Inc. Group. There have not been any significant changes in the Company's principal activities in the period under review and the directors are not aware at the date of this report of any likely major changes in the next financial year. During the period ended 31 December 2022 the company made a loss before tax of £1,222k (9 months to December 2021 profit before tax: £265,326k); the movement from prior year is a result of an exceptional gain in the prior year following the sale of Porritts & Spencer Limited which arose from a company restructure. The Company is a subsidiary of Mativ Holdings Inc. and as such follows all Group policies. Following the acquisition by SWM Inc, the financial year end for Scapa Group Limited was changed to December (formerly March) to align with SWM Inc, and as such the previous period was 9 months and therefore the comparative amounts presented in the financial statements are not entirely comparable.
The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mativ Holdings Inc. (NYSE: MATV). The directors of Mativ Holdings Inc. manage the Group's risks at a Group level, rather than at an individual subsidiary level. Scapa Group Limited has net assets which are dependent upon the recoverability of intercompany debtors and are therefore reliant on the trading entities performance, with the risks and uncertainties of those entities being indirectly relevant to Scapa Group Limited. In addition, the Company’s risks and uncertainties are also aligned with those of Mativ Holdings Inc. The principal risks and uncertainties of Mativ Holdings Inc, which include those of the Company, are discussed in the business review in the group's annual review which does not form part of this report. The Company mitigates the uncertainty over changes in interest rates by having fixed rate loan agreements.
Liquidity risk In order to maintain liquidity and to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the Company reviews its cash flow requirements on an on-going basis. Use of inter group borrowings is available as necessary. Financial risk The Company is exposed to various financial risks: foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Foreign exchange risk arises primarily from recognised assets and liabilities, which is mitigated by a monthly hedge in place for the group. As part of the wider Group, the Company has access to financial support from Mativ Holdings, reducing any exposure to liquidity and interest rate risk.
Management uses a number of key performance indicators (KPI’s) to monitor the performance of the business. The financial KPI’s comprise the net assets as at 31 December 2022 of £176,573k (2021: £178,626k).
No non-financial KPIs have been presented as there are none monitored at the Scapa Group Limited level. Non-financial KPIs are only monitored on a Group basis.

Strategic Report (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2022
The directors take their duties and responsibilities seriously when managing the company. The way in which their duties and responsibilities are applied is covered, in part, within the Director’s Report of these financial statements.
The following highlights how the directors have delivered against the requirements of Section 172 in the application of their duties: S172(1)(A) “The likely consequences on any decision in the long term” The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mativ Holdings Inc and all decisions of the company are aligned to the strategic priority of the Group which is ‘Finding ways to improve everyday life’. All decisions of the company are taken in line with our written policies, our Code of Conduct and Mativ Holdings’s guiding principles which require that directors and employees demonstrate trust, respect and integrity in all that we do. S172(1)(B) “The Interests of the Company’s employees” Employees are a key stakeholder in the operations of the company and this is reflected in the fact that our first guiding principle states that ‘Our employees are our most important asset’, as this is fundamental and core to promoting the company’s success. Our actions are backed by four key values that are the foundation for everything that we do: - We treat one another with respect, - We keep an open mind to new ideas and various points of view, - We value the differences that each person brings to the company, - We believe in doing the right thing We harness direct engagement with our employees through a ‘culture of conversation’ which encourages honest conversations, diversity of thought, teamwork, creativity and innovation. A range of communication channels are used to keep employees informed of business performance, policy changes and people news including our company intranet, regular ‘Town Hall’ communications, social media, webinars, informal discussions together with videos and open question channels from the Group CEO. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we regularly publicised the Employee Assistance Program and Government Financial Crisis Fund together with bi-weekly communication updates explaining control strategies and employee protection initiatives, and the company was able to remain 100% operational throughout the pandemic due to the support and dedication of our employees. In addition, during the pandemic the company protected the rights of shielding employees. S172(1)(C) “The need to foster the Company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others” Customers Whether it is through technology, manufacturing or global capabilities, we are committed to connecting our strengths to those of our customers. We do this through direct engagement with our customers on a regular basis to understand their particular challenges and how we may be able to solve them. Also, as a Group, we conduct customer satisfaction surveys to understand our customers’ perceptions of how we are meeting their needs, together with attendance at trade shows and the development of specialised services to support business needs and partnerships. Suppliers Our key suppliers are an essential element of our supply chain and we have a Procurement function devoted to our engagement with suppliers, ensuring that we maintain direct engagement. Our attendance at Trade shows harnesses these relationships and we utilise questionnaires on materials and adherence to the Group’s Code for Responsible Procurement.

Ultimate Parent
The Company’s ultimate parent company was Mativ Holdings Inc. which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (MATV). The interests of the Mativ Holdings Inc’s stockholders is paramount and our parent company has an Investor Relations function which communicates regularly with stockholders to keep them informed of progress. Government The company undertakes meetings and engagement with local officials as required and ensures compliance with policy issues that impact our business and the community in which we operate. S172(1)(D) “The impact of the Company’s operations on the community and the environment” Community We are committed to building positive relationships with the communities in which we operate. The company liaises with the Community and Parish Council as part of any planning permission for any new facility build and partnerships with the Environment Agency, River Aire Trust, Wild Trout Trust, Angling Society and local neighbours regarding the weir removal for the waterway which crosses the company manufacturing site. The Company also supports several local charitable events. The Group has several relationships with global organisations, such as the Planet Water Foundation. Sustainability The Group has a long-standing commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability, and we are committed to further integrating environmental principles into our strategies. S172(1)(E) “The desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct” It is recognised by the directors that doing business the right way is key to long term success for the company and the Company uses a number of measures to ensure compliance. The Group operates under a Code of Conduct which is Mativ Holdings Group’s guide to ethics and responsibilities in the workplace and outlines the requirements of every director and employee. Ethics are fundamental to all aspects of our business, both internally and externally, and it is the role of all employees, managers and leaders to apply these requirements to their jobs and for reporting any suspected violations of law or the Code. Regular updates and reminders of compliance requirements in the form of global emails are issued together with regular training updates. The Group also operates a whistleblowing policy which allows any individual to report any form of non-compliance anonymously. S172(1)(F) “the need to act fairly as between members of the Company” The company is held directly by a single member and has one ultimate parent company, Mativ Holdings Inc, headquartered in the USA and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The directors consider courses of action that enable delivery of our strategic priorities taking into account the impact on the Mativ Holdings group of companies globally.

Directors' Report
For the year ended 31 December 2022
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, the directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The loss for the year, after taxation, amounted to £1,871k (2021 - profit £268,587k).
Dividends paid during the period amounted to £Nil (December 2021: £260,799k).
The directors who served during the year were:
The directors expect the general level of activity to remain consistent with the period ended 31 December 2022 in the forthcoming year.

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting Requirements
The following assumptions, methodology, definitions and data validation processes have been used to report the Group's key environmental performance indicators in 2022. The reporting data complies with the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting requirements:
∙Boundary Scope: data from all locations which the Company has operational control is collected and measured.
∙Primary data sources: these include billing, invoices and other systems provided by the supplier of the energy to communicate energy consumption.
∙Secondary data sources: These include the Company’s internal systems used to record and report the consumption data.
∙Internal data validation: The process used to review and compare primary data with secondary data.
∙Conversion factors: the 2022 Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting, published by the UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), are used when converting gross emissions.
∙Intensity metrics: total Carbon emissions per £m of revenue is used to calculate the Company’s intensity metrics.
The site opportunistically pursues energy reduction projects and, due to our energy mix, when we reduce energy we also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In 2022 the company ran a project using energy data loggers to establish areas of high energy use. The company also consolidated office space and have a comprehensive light swap out program for LED lights. The site also undergoes periodic energy assessments to identify new opportunities.
The table covers the 52 weeks to 31 December 2022 and the comparative is a period of 39 weeks for the period to December 2021 and only includes companies within the group who are required to report under SECR.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Scapa Group Limited
We have audited the financial statements of Scapa Group Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Scapa Group Limited
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Scapa Group Limited (continued)
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 auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
∙The nature of the industry and sector in which the company operates; the control environment and business performance including key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets.
∙The outcome of enquiries of local management and parent company management, including whether management was aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations, and whether management had knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud.
∙Supporting documentation relating to the Company's policies and procedures for:
- Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations - Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud
∙The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
∙The outcome of discussions amongst the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
∙The legal and regulatory framework in which the Company operates, particularly those laws and regulations which have a direct effect on the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006, pensions and tax legislation, or which had a fundamental effect on the operations of the Company, including General Data Protection requirements, and Anti-bribery and Corruption.
Audit response to risks identified
Our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
∙Reviewing the financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with the provisions of those relevant laws and regulations which have a direct effect on the financial statements.
∙Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
∙Evaluation the operating effectiveness of management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities.
∙Enquiring of management about any actual and potential litigation and claims.
∙Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships which may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
Page 11

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Scapa Group Limited
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Scapa Group Limited (continued)
We have also considered the risk of fraud through management override of controls by:
∙Testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments. We have used data analytics software to identify accounting transactions which may pose a heightened risk of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
∙Challenging assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimates, and assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and
∙Evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations are from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of them. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors' report.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The amounts charged to operating profit are the current service costs and gains and losses on settlements and curtailments. They are included as part of staff costs. Past service costs are recognised immediately in the profit and loss account if the benefits have vested. If the benefits have not vested immediately, the costs are recognised over the period until vesting occurs. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. For defined benefit schemes, the Company recognises plan assets where they are separable, solely for payment to the fund or to fund employee benefits, not available to the Company's creditors in bankruptcy and where assets cannot be returned to the Company unless all employee benefit obligations are met. Defined benefit schemes are funded, with the assets of the scheme held separately from those of the Group, in separate Trustee-administered funds. Pension scheme assets are measures at fair value and liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method and discounted at a rate equivalent to the current rate of return on a high-quality corporate bond of equivalent currency and term to the scheme liabilities. The actuarial valuations are obtained annually and are updated at each Balance Sheet date. The resulting defined benefit asset or liability, net of the related deferred tax, is presented separately after other net assets on the face of the Balance Sheet. Where a defined benefit pension scheme is in surplus, this is recognised on the Balance Sheet only to the extent the Group can demonstrate that is has an unconditional right to refund in relation to the surplus. Where an unconditional right to a refund can't be demonstrated, the asset is restricted to nil.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme). Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period. Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, profit or loss is charged with fair value of goods and services received.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.

Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies In process of applying the Company's accounting policies, which are described above, the directors have made the following judgement that has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements (apart from those involving estimations, which are dealt with below) and has been particularly complex or involving subjective assessments: The Pension scheme, when measured under IAS 19, resulted in a surplus of £10.3m and the recognition of this surplus was assessed in-line with IFRIC 14. This states that the pension surplus can be recognised in the accounts if the Company can demonstrate an unconditional right to a refund in the circumstances specified in IFRIC 14. As the Company cannot demonstrate an unconditional right to a refund, no surplus has been recognised for the defined benefit scheme in the Company accounts. Key sources of estimation uncertainty Defined benefit pension scheme Accounting for retirement benefit schemes under IAS 19 (revised) requires an assessment of the future benefits payable in accordance with the actuarial assumptions. The future assumptions in relation to the discount rate applied in the calculation of scheme liabilities which are set out in note 25, represent a key source of uncertainty for the Company. The Company also applies sensitivities to these assumptions to assess the financial impact; these sensitivities are set out in note 25. Carrying value of investments and subsidiary loan impairments The assessment of the discounted cash flows and the key inputs into the future forecasts for the investments involve the use of market participant discount rate calculated at a CGU level. This includes the addition of a premium to reflect the current size and market capitalisation of the Company and compares this to a set of relevant comparators. The cash flows used for these assessments have been calculated using a management approved forecast. Should these estimates vary, the profit or loss and balance sheet of the following years could be significantly impacted.

Defined contribution scheme
The Company operates a defined contributions pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. The total pension cost for the Company in respect of this scheme for the period ended 31 December 2022 was £101k (2021: £128k). Outstanding contributions as at 31 December 2022 totaled £8k (2021: £6k). Defined benefit scheme
The Company operates a defined benefit pension scheme.
The Scapa Group Limited Pension Scheme, which has the assets and liabilities of former employees. The scheme has been closed to new members and future accrual since 2007/08 and is wholly funded by the sponsoring employers, Scapa Group Limited and Scapa UK Limited. The assets of the scheme are held separately from the Company under Trust and both the assets and liabilities are held on a nonsectionalised basis. This scheme is managed by a professional trustee.
Scheme assets are stated at their market value as at 31 December 2022 The next formal triennial valuation is due 1 April 2023 and will be completed no later than 30 September 2024. The expected investment returns have been calculated using the weighted average of the expected investment returns for the different asset classes. The expected return on investments for the UK scheme is set out in the table in this note. The assumptions relating to UK longevity underlying the pension liabilities at the balance sheet date are based on standard actuarial mortality tables, with adjustments to reflect actual experience. For the period to 31 December 2022, the IAS 19 calculations have been performed using standard actuarial tables known as S2PA. Future improvements in mortality have been allowed for using the core CMI 2021 model, with a long-term rate of improvement of 1.25% per annum. In the current period these tables have been adjusted with a loading to reflect the geographic membership profile of the scheme. During the year to March 2016 a postcode mortality exercise was conducted on the scheme's membership. The results of this exercise showed that a best estimate adjustment to the base table used by the formal triennial actuarial valuation was 115% for all members. This assumption, reducing the expected longevity of members, has been used in the disclosures.
