1. Basis of preparation
1.1 Basis of accounting
These condensed financial statements of Vesuvius plc ("Vesuvius" or the "Company") and its subsidiary and joint venture
companies (the "Group") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim
Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU and in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK's
Financial Conduct Authority.
These condensed financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of
the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, which were prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU ("IFRS"). They do not include all of the information
required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2014. The financial information presented in this document is unaudited, but
has been reviewed by the Company's auditor.
The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that
financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditor and delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
The report of the auditor was unqualified, did not include reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by
way of emphasis without qualifying its report and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies
Act 2006. These sections address whether proper accounting records have been kept, whether the Company's accounts are in
agreement with those records and whether the auditor has obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the
purposes of its audit.
1.2 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities
controlled by the Company (its "subsidiaries"). Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and
operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing whether control exists,
potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are taken into account. The results of subsidiaries acquired or
disposed of during the year are included in the Group income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the
effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into
line with those detailed herein to ensure that the Group financial statements are prepared on a consistent basis. All
intra-Group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group's
interest therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business
combination together with the non-controlling interests' share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive
income since the date of the combination. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling interests even if
this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
1.3 Going concern
The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the Group for a period in excess of 12 months from the date of approval
of the 2015 interim financial statements. These forecasts reflect an assessment of current and future end-market conditions
and their impact on the Group's future trading performance. The forecasts show that the Group will be able to operate
within the current committed debt facilities and show continued compliance with the Company's financial covenants. On the
basis of the exercise described above and the Group's available committed debt facilities, the Directors consider that the
Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly,
they continue to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the financial statements of the Group.
1.4 Functional and presentation currency
The condensed financial statements are presented in millions of pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the
Company, and rounded to one decimal place
1.5 Disclosure of exceptional items as "separately reported items"
International Accounting Standard 1 ("IAS 1"), Presentation of Financial Statements, provides no definitive guidance as to
the format of the income statement, but states key lines which should be disclosed. It also encourages the disclosure of
additional line items and the reordering of items presented on the face of the income statement when appropriate for a
proper understanding of the entity's financial performance. In accordance with IAS 1, the Company has adopted a policy of
disclosing separately on the face of its condensed Group income statement, within the column entitled "Separately reported
items", the effect of any components of financial performance for which the Directors consider separate disclosure would
assist both in a better understanding of the financial performance achieved and in making projections of future results. In
its adoption of this policy, the Company applies an even-handed approach to both gains and losses and aims to be both
consistent and clear in its accounting and disclosure of such items.
Both materiality and the nature and function of the components of income and expense are considered in deciding upon such
presentation. Such items may include, inter alia, the financial effect of exceptional items which occur infrequently, such
as major restructuring activity, initial recognition and subsequent increase, decrease and amortisation of deferred tax
assets, together with items always reported separately, such as amortisation charges relating to acquired intangible
assets, profits or losses arising on the disposal of continuing or discontinued operations and the taxation impact of the
aforementioned exceptional items and items separately reported.
2. Segment information
Operating segments for continuing operations:
For reporting purposes, the Group is organised into two main business segments: Steel and Foundry. The senior executive
management of these business segments report to the Chief Executive of the Group. It is the Vesuvius Board which makes the
key operating decisions in respect of these segments. The information used by the Vesuvius Board to review performance and
determine resource allocation between the business segments is presented with the Group's activities segmented between
Steel and Foundry. Taking into account the basis on which the Group's activities are reported to the Vesuvius Board, the
Directors believe that these two business segments are the appropriate way to analyse the Group's results.
Segment revenue represents revenue from external customers (inter-segment revenue is not material). Trading profit includes
items directly attributable to a segment as well as those items that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. The costs
incurred by Vesuvius within its central headquarters have been allocated in full across the Group's two segments for the
period ended 30 June 2015. In the comparative periods these costs were allocated in part to the Group's discontinued
operations.
The operating segment results from continuing operations are presented below.

3. Restructuring charges from continuing operations
In 2015, a Group wide restructuring programme was initiated resulting in £3.1m of redundancy charges up to half year 2015
(full year 2014: nil). This is partially offset by a release of onerous lease provisions of £0.5m (full year 2014: nil)
and a £0.4m (full year 2014: nil) release of provisions for potential claims that have now expired relating to the
termination of agents.
The remaining restructuring provision as at half year 2015 is £6.4m (2014: half year £9.6m; full year £8.0m) of which £3.8m
(2014: half year £4.7m; full year £4.4m) relates to onerous lease costs in respect of leases expiring between one and seven
years.

5. Income tax costs
The Group's effective tax rate, based on the income tax costs associated with headline performance of £15.9m (2014: half
year £16.4m; full year £32.9m), was 25.5% in the first half of 2015 (2014: half year 26.5%; full year 26.0%).
The Group's total income tax costs include a credit of £2.4m (2014: half year £1.9m credit; full year £25.8m credit)
relating to separately reported items comprising: a credit of £0.5m (2014: half year £nil; full year £nil) in relation to
restructuring charges; a credit of £1.9m (2014: half year £1.9m; full year £4.0m) relating to the amortisation of acquired
intangible assets; and a credit of £nil (2014: half year £nil; full year £21.8m) in respect of the potential recognition of
US temporary differences. Tax charged in the Group statement of comprehensive income in the year amounted to £0.7m (2014:
half year £3.1m credit; full year £0.5m credit), all of which related to net actuarial gains and losses on employee
benefits plans.

6.2 Earnings for EPS
Basic and diluted EPS from continuing operations are based upon the profit attributable to owners of the parent, as
reported in the condensed Group income statement, of £35.2m (2014: half year £38.3m; full year £99.5m), being the profit
for the period of £37.9m (2014: half year £40.4m; full year £104.1m) less non-controlling interests of £2.7m (2014: half
year £2.1m; full year £4.6m). Basic and diluted EPS from total operations are based on the profit attributable to owners of
the parent of £35.2m (2014: half year £38.3m; full year £95.9m). Headline and diluted headline EPS are based upon headline
profit from continuing operations attributable to owners of the parent of £43.3m (2014: half year £44.3m; full year
£90.3m). The table below reconciles these different profit measures:

For the purposes of calculating diluted basic and diluted headline EPS, the weighted average number of ordinary shares is
adjusted to include the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares relating to the Company's share-based payment plans. Potential ordinary shares are only treated
as dilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease earnings per share, or increase loss per share, from
continuing operations.

The dividend will be paid on 25 September 2015 to ordinary shareholders on the register at the close of business on 14
August 2015. Based upon the number of ordinary shares in issue at 30 June 2015, the total cost of the dividend would be
£13.9m.
8. Acquisitions
The Group purchased Sidermes spa on 15 May 2015 for total consideration of E33.7m. The provisional fair value of net
assets acquired was E16.9m and goodwill of E16.8m has been recognised. Revenue of £1.6m and trading profit of £0.2m was
included in the half year results relating to Sidermes. Had the business been acquired on 1 January 2015, Group revenues
for the half year would have been £707.4m and trading profit would have been £70.9m.
9. Cash pooling arrangements
Following the implementation of Amendments to IAS32 Financial Instruments which clarified the circumstances in which
financial instruments can be offset within financial statements, the Group reviewed and changed the presentational
treatment of its notional cash pooling arrangements from the year ended 31 December 2014. 'Cash and short term deposits'
and 'Interest- bearing borrowings' have consequently been restated within the Group's interim 2014 results to reflect this
presentation.
