In August, Rolls-Royce SMR advanced to the final stage of the Swedish competition to select a nuclear
technology partner, with Vattenfall moving ahead with small nuclear options only. In the UK, where Rolls-
Royce SMR was selected in June as the preferred technology provider by Great British Energy-Nuclear
(GBE-N), commercial terms remain on track to be finalised later this year. Rolls-Royce SMR also entered
the US regulatory process, a critical step to paving the way for additional jobs and investment potential in
the US.
We remain committed to driving efficiency and simplification across Rolls-Royce. As part of our Group
Business Services (GBS) strategy, we opened a global capability and innovation centre in Bengaluru,
India, that will support key global corporate functions across the Group.
We are continuing to strengthen our balance sheet, enabled by a growing cash delivery. Our efforts have
been recognised by the credit rating agencies, who all hold us at investment grade, with an upgrade to
BBB+ by S&P Global in August. As planned, we repaid a $1bn bond that matured in October.
We are making good progress with our £1bn share buyback, having completed £0.9bn at the end of
October.
Our 2025 Full Year results will be announced on 26 February 2026.
