Summary
-- Strong financial performance with EBITDA improvement of 26.3%
to GBP61.4m, as a result of higher customer demand and strong cost
control.
-- Revenues increased as a result of higher regulatory allowances coupled with recovery in the non-household market post COVID-19 lockdowns.
-- Operating costs before depreciation decreased by 11.4%,
reflecting the successful delivery of the Company's transformation
programme, despite significant upward inflationary pressures on
power, chemicals and supply chain.
-- GBP42.1m investment in the capital programme focussing on
improving and renewing the company's asset base.
-- Profit before taxation improved by GBP4.8m to GBP13.7m.
However, the impact of higher future UK corporation tax rates led
to a one-off deferred tax charge of GBP20.5m. This in turn has led
to a loss after tax of GBP9.7m.
-- Cash generation and RCV growth resulted in lower gearing as at 31 March 2022.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT
It is with pride that I look back over the last year and reflect
on how much the business has achieved, despite another year of
uncertainty and change. We welcome the merger of Bristol Water into
the Pennon Group, and look forward to supporting the integration of
the business. We are excited about the opportunities the merger
will bring for our staff, with benefits from sharing experiences,
best practice and plans for the future. Working together, and by
sharing the best from across the Group, we will strive to
continually improve our service to our customers, communities and
wider stakeholders.
Whilst the year has seen a change in shareholder, our focus has
remained on delivering for our customers and looking to improve our
performance both operationally and financially. The skill,
dedication and professionalism shown by the Bristol Water team over
the last year has been outstanding. They should all be proud of
what they have achieved through embracing change whilst keeping the
focus on the communities we serve which makes Bristol Water so
special. We have seen continued excellence in our leakage
performance, with our 3 year average leakage performance now at
36.0 Ml/day (2020/21: 37.9Ml/day). This is the lowest level in the
industry, and we know we have a tough challenge over future years
in striving to meet a continued reduction.
I am particularly proud of our performance in respect of supply
interruptions. This is a critical measure for our customers, as it
reflects amount of time for which customers have had their water
supply interrupted over the year. Our performance reflects 2
minutes 31 seconds across the year (20202/21: 30 minutes 17
seconds) - a huge improvement year on year, and reflective of
improvements in process, ways of working, and approach from our
operational and support teams across the business. Whilst we have
experienced operational challenges - such as the burst main at
Colliters Way last summer, which is one of our key mains to supply
a large area of Bristol - the customer impact of these incidents
has been mitigated by using approaches such as infusion into the
network. Despite 11 pumping stations losing power during Storm
Eunice, we kept supply interruptions to a minimum with advanced
planning, mobilising our technology and our smart network
monitoring. It is great to see the enthusiasm and innovation with
which our teams have embraced the challenge.
Water quality performance has not achieved our targets this
year. Appearance contacts did not reduce as our stretching targets
required, but by the end of the year we were back on track.
Although we aim for 100% water quality compliance, and the number
of standard failures has remained low, we are determined to take
action to continuously improve our performance. Our action and
improvement plans have reduced the risks to water quality during
the year, and we are increasing our focus on this area at a time
that many of our performance measures have delivered record good
performance for Bristol Water.
Health and safety performance is another area where we have not
met our goals. We have seen a high number of hazards and near
misses reported both by our employees and our contractors; whilst
it is good that issues are identified, there is much more to do to
avoid accidents. We are focussed on doing more to minimise risks
and maintain focus and vigilance, to ensure all our staff go home
to their families without injury at the end of every day.
Our focus on delivering excellent customer service in everything
we do has resulted in continued good performance on the critical
C-Mex performance measure. Although we were disappointed not to
improve beyond 6(th) place overall, I am delighted by the fantastic
3(rd) place on the billing component. This demonstrates the hard
work undertaken with Pelican, our billing joint venture with Wessex
Water. Our operational customer service has also seen a focus and
dedication from across the business, with our operational teams
going out of their way to deliver tailored, supportive service to
our customers. It was great to be highlighted by the Institute of
Customer Service as one of the top 10 organisations across all
sectors for complaint handling last year.
It was a great privilege to celebrate 175 years of Bristol
Water, and the heritage that comes with this. Our social contract,
the first of its kind by any utility company, continues that work
to this day, with 93% satisfaction over the last year amongst the
community stakeholders who work with us on its delivery. It was an
honour to meet His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester in
October, and to be able to share with him the incredible work our
people do, and have done over our history.
With this in mind, I look forward to a future that builds and
celebrates this past, but also allows us to flourish and grow our
business through collaborating with our peers across the Pennon
Group. I am excited to find out what the future holds.

Chief Executive Officer

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 General information
Bristol Water plc ("the Company") is a water supply company holding
an instrument of appointment as set out by the Water Industry
Act 1991. The Company is the licensed monopoly provider of water
services in the Bristol area, and as such is regulated by the
Water Services Regulation Authority - Ofwat.
Bristol Water plc is a public company, limited by shares, with
irredeemable preference shares and debenture stock listed on
the London Stock Exchange.
The Company is incorporated and domiciled in England, United
Kingdom. The address of its registered office is Bridgwater Road,
Bristol, BS13 7AT, England.
The financial information for the year ended 31 March 2022 does
not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section
435 of the Companies Act 2006.
The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 will
be finalised on the basis of the financial information presented
by the Directors in this preliminary announcement, and will be
delivered to the Registrar of Companies in due course.
2 Basis of preparation
The unaudited financial statements of the Company are prepared
on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets and financial
liabilities (including derivative instruments) measured at fair
value and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101,
'Reduced Disclosure Framework - Disclosure exemptions from EU-adopted
IFRS for qualifying entities' ("FRS 101") and with the provisions
of the Companies Act 2006.
The accounting policies adopted are consisted with those followed
in the preparation of the Company's 2022 Annual Report and Financial
Statements which have not changed significantly from those adopted
in the Company's 2021 Annual Report and Financial Statements
(which are available on the Company website www.bristolwater.co.uk).
3 Going concern
The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements
through its cash reserves and borrowings. At 31 March 2022 the
Company has access to undrawn committed funds and cash totalling
GBP39.0m (GBP32.9m excluding restricted cash), and the Company
has received confirmation from Pennon Group plc that it will
provide support to the Company should it be required, to meet
its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future.
As a result, the Directors have concluded that the Company has
adequate resources, or the reasonable expectation of raising
further resources as required, to continue in operational existence
for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to
adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
Further information on the Company's borrowings is given in note
