Will Wyatt, Chief Executive, commented:
"Our diversified portfolio and our preference for investing in
high quality businesses has so far provided some resilience to the
impact of Covid--19 on the company. The Quoted Equity portfolios
were particularly effective at protecting shareholders' capital in
volatile markets. Despite a decrease in net assets for the year,
the majority of our investments are in a good position to withstand
this challenging economic period though those in the consumer
leisure sector face an uncertain future.
"It is likely that income for the current year will be lower
than in 2020. However, our strong balance sheet and, in particular,
our reserves of retained earnings, should give shareholders comfort
that Caledonia is well placed to achieve its aims of growing net
assets and dividends over the long term."

Chairman's statement
Results
The NAVTR of --8.1% for the year was a resilient performance
despite the appearance of the Covid--19 virus in the last quarter.
There was significant variance within the three pools through which
Caledonia is managed. The Quoted Equity and Funds pools held up
well on an absolute basis and relative to stock markets, proving
effective at protecting shareholders' capital. Resulting from the
Covid--19 pandemic, the exposure to the consumer leisure sector in
Private Capital's portfolio resulted in a significant mark down in
valuations, reflecting the disruption in two particularly affected
businesses. The remainder of the Private Capital portfolio traded
well during the year. Management, at Caledonia and in the portfolio
businesses, have responded to the extreme events caused by
Covid--19 to place our companies in the best possible position to
recover when restrictions are lifted. Our strong balance sheet,
with net cash of GBP115m and GBP250m of available facilities, gives
us a secure platform to support our companies and take
opportunities when they appear.
Covid-19
The pandemic has caused a number of unexpected outcomes. On the
positive side Caledonia's IT team has managed the move to home
working very effectively with minimal disruption to normal
business. We are now planning in line with official guidance how we
might safely return to office life, and intend to consult staff on
these plans.
There is likely to be more volatility in markets as the full
economic impact of the pandemic becomes apparent. It is also to be
expected that some of our investee companies will have to adapt to
the longer-term implications of customer concerns, social
distancing and changing consumer demand. A degree of uncertainty is
to be expected after a shock of this magnitude ripples through the
global economy.
Income and dividend
Caledonia has a long and proud record of paying an increased
dividend. In the year to 31 March, income totalled GBP53.4m which
is a slight increase over the previous year. The portfolio is
constructed to deliver sufficient income to cover both running
costs and the annual dividend. This was achieved during the
financial year. The board is proposing a final dividend of 44.5p
per share, providing a full year dividend of 61.1p per share, an
increase of 3.0% over last year.
As we look forward, it is likely that Caledonia will face a
reduction in income from our investee companies suffering
disruption from the Covid--19 pandemic. If this occurs, any
shortfall would require utilisation of Caledonia's GBP256m of
retained earnings. This leaves the company well placed to meet a
temporary shortage of income and pay dividends in the future should
the board deem this appropriate.
Caledonia Fund
In response to the current crisis and the impact these events
are having within some of our majority owned investee companies, a
fund has been established to assist their employees suffering
financial hardship. This is being funded by Caledonia, a
contribution by our largest shareholder, The Cayzer Trust Company,
and Caledonia's executive and non-executive directors.
The focus of the fund is on supporting employees at those
companies where the business can no longer operate as normal and
management have needed to utilise the Government backed furlough
scheme. It should be noted this is primarily at Buzz Bingo and
Liberation, where action has been taken to minimise costs wherever
possible to preserve liquidity and reduce cash outflow. Measures
include the use of the furlough scheme, reductions in senior
management pay and the suspension of any cash payments to
Caledonia.
Since the implementation of the Government's furlough scheme, no
cash has been received by Caledonia from any of its majority owned
investee companies that are accessing this scheme. In this regard,
the proposed final dividend is not financed by any contribution
made by these companies since the start of the Covid--19
pandemic.
Outlook
Caledonia is well positioned to take a long-term view of its
investments. As noted before, we expect the pandemic and its
associated economic impact to provide both challenges and
opportunities in the year ahead. At the time of writing the
response by central banks has been extraordinary and the result of
that action is being seen in a partial recovery in a number of
markets. The issue is how sustainable this action is with
government borrowing at record levels and the potential distortion
to asset pricing. As the market goes through a process of
normalisation it would not be surprising if we see more volatility
in the months ahead.
Caledonia thinks long term and in this challenging environment
is well positioned. It has available cash and banking facilities to
ensure we have liquidity in place to take advantage of
opportunities as they arise. As a board we are committed to the
dividend and where income shortfalls do occur, we have retained
earnings to maintain those payments in the future.
David Stewart, Chairman
Chief Executive's report
Aim
Caledonia's objective is to grow net assets and dividends over
the long term, whilst managing risk to avoid permanent loss of
capital.
Results for the year
Caledonia's portfolio is comprised of cash, listed equities,
private equity funds and direct holdings in private businesses.
This diversified portfolio offers shareholders some protection from
over-exposure to particular sectors and geographies but, with an
international pandemic of the scale of Covid--19, has inevitably
suffered from some loss of value. The NAVTR for the year was
--8.1%. The revenue account of the income statement shows minimal
impact from the pandemic, with profits for the year of GBP34.6m in
line with the previous year. However, in keeping with the
conservative culture of Caledonia, we have assessed the potential
impact of Covid--19 on our investments and have adjusted our
valuations accordingly, resulting in a loss on the capital account
of GBP207.5m, compared with a profit of GBP163.6m last year.
Our strong balance sheet, including GBP115m of cash and access
to GBP250m in facilities, provides substantial liquidity with which
to face an uncertain future. Our RBSI facilities of GBP137.5m were
renewed in May for a further five-year term.
Impact of Covid-19 pandemic
The impact of the pandemic was first felt in the final quarter
of our financial year. At a practical level, the restrictions on
movement have led to the head office staff working from home.
Whilst no replacement for normalised operations, we have been able
to carry out our functions and controls to ensure the smooth
running of the business. The board has been kept informed
throughout this period of uncertainty and board meetings have
continued via conferencing technology.
The performance of the portfolio was strong for eleven months of
the year, with the pandemic only starting to have a notable effect
in March, despite some exposure to Asia within the Funds pool.
However, the precipitous stock market falls in March eroded the
hitherto strong positive performance of our Quoted Equity holdings.
On a relative basis, our listed portfolios produced results well
ahead of comparative markets, thereby protecting shareholder's
capital with a negative return of only 0.3% over the year.
The principal effect of the pandemic has been in our Private
Capital valuations, where we have taken account of the potential
Covid--19 impact in our internally generated company valuations and
in the valuation of our fund interests, typically based on
managers' reports dated 31 December 2019. A company by company
breakdown of the Private Capital pool can be seen in the pool
performance section of this report.
Much of the portfolio has performed in a resilient fashion
despite the immense disruption caused by Covid--19. Until we have
clarity on the lifting of restrictions and economies begin to
normalise, it would be unwise to predict how quickly trading will
recover in those companies most adversely affected.
Investment performance
Caledonia aims to achieve a NAVTR of 3-6% ahead of inflation
over the short term, leading to results over the long term that
exceed the FTSE All-Share Index. However, it is worth noting that
our management and investment teams are incentivised on an
absolute, not relative, basis. The table below shows our investment
performance over one, three, five and ten years, with the adverse
performance in the current year having a negative impact on short
term metrics:
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years

NAVTR vs FTSE All-Share TR 10.4 5.3 4.0 2.5
---------------------------- ------ ------- ------- --------
Long-term performance remains satisfactory though one and
three-year numbers are weak compared with inflation. The element of
protection afforded to shareholders' capital, compared on a
relative basis to markets, is noteworthy.
Strategy and allocation
As indicated in the half-year results to 30 September 2019, we
undertook a review of the Income pool, its aims and targets due to
poor performance. As a result, the portfolio is now managed by the
Quoted Equity team, in place of a separate Income team, with a
yield target of 3.5% (previously a yield target of 4.5%). The
annual performance total return target remains at 7%. The Quoted
Equity team has been managing separate strategies for the Capital
and Income portfolios since the end of September.
The investment portfolio consists of three pools of capital as
shown in the tables below:

Caledonia Quoted Equity
Our two listed equity portfolios invest in well-managed
businesses with good margins which are often leaders in their
sectors, on a global basis. The performance of the Capital
portfolio in exceptionally volatile markets was impressive,
returning 1.3% for the year. The portfolio, which consists of high
quality compounding businesses, proved resilient and largely
avoided sectors hard hit by Covid--19. The Income portfolio
produced a return of --3.8%, including the impact of exiting
historic legacy positions. Our cautious approach to risk management
resulted in high cash balances and the rebalancing of the Income
portfolio helped to protect capital and performance as markets fell
in February and March 2020.
Caledonia Private Capital
Our diverse portfolio includes significant positions in six UK
based businesses and one private European investment company,
Cobepa, with which we also have a co-investment. These eight
investments represent over 90% of the value of the Private Capital
portfolio. Performance over the year, with a total return of
--18.0%, was dominated by the impact of Covid--19 on Buzz Bingo,
Liberation Group and, to a lesser extent, Seven Investment
Management ('7IM'). However, trading across most portfolio
companies was robust prior to the appearance of the pandemic. Deep
Sea Electronics ('DSE'), our largest investment, has made good
progress in growing its business year on year and formulating
strategic plans for the future. One new investment was completed in
the year, a minority shareholding in Stonehage Fleming, the
international family office services provider, for GBP89.5m.
DSE, the industry leading manufacturer of genset and ATS control
modules, battery chargers and power supplies, has traded strongly
over the past year delivering double digit returns. The changes
being seen elsewhere from the Covid--19 virus had only a marginal
impact on DSE's operations, with its manufacturing site in the UK
and representative offices in China and the US trading normally. We
expect some reduction in demand in the current year. The valuation
at 31 March 2020 was GBP122.6m, up 4.6% from March 2019.
Cobepa, the Belgian based investment company, owns a diverse
portfolio of private global investments. We have used the net asset
value at its year end of 31 December 2019 as the basis of
valuation, applying a Covid--19 adjustment to each business, having
assessed, in conjunction with the management of Cobepa, the likely
impact of the virus. Cobepa had significant reserves of liquidity
as at 31 December 2019. The valuation of Cobehold, the holding
company of Cobepa, at 31 March 2020 was GBP97.4m, down 7.1% from
March 2019.
Stonehage Fleming, the international family office, continues to
trade normally and reported record profits in the first year of our
investment. The provision of management and advisory services to
family offices, its main revenue stream, have been largely
unaffected by Covid--19 to date. A smaller proportion of the
Stonehage Fleming's revenues are derived from assets under
management ('AUM') related fees which will be impacted by the
declines in public equity markets. The business remains profitable
and has a strong balance sheet with plentiful liquidity. Caledonia
owns a preferred position in the equity of Stonehage Fleming. The
valuation at 31 March 2020 of GBP89.5m was in line with the cost of
our 36.7% equity stake acquired in July 2019.
7IM, the retail investment manager, remains fully operational.
Its revenue is directly linked to the value of its AUM, which have
been negatively impacted by the declines in public equity markets.
It is pleasing to note, however, that 7IM's defensively orientated
funds have performed well on a relative basis. The business remains
profitable and well-funded with significant amounts of available
liquidity. The valuation at 31 March 2020 was GBP84.8m, down 21.3%
from March 2019.
Liberation Group, a pub, restaurant and drinks business, with
operations in the Channel Islands and South West England, has
temporarily closed both its managed and tenanted pub estates in
response to the coronavirus pandemic. The Jersey based brewery has
also been closed. However, Butcombe brewery in the UK continues to
brew on a much-reduced basis to fulfil increased online and trade
demand. The wholesale distribution businesses in the Channel
Islands continue to trade albeit at reduced levels. Costs have been
reduced, including the furloughing of staff, to preserve liquidity
and reduce the cash burn. Liberation owns a predominantly freehold
estate with a net asset value of GBP124m. The business has net debt
of GBP38.3m and cash on its balance sheet of GBP12.2m as at 31
March 2020. The valuation at 31 March 2020 was GBP50.6m, down 38.8%
from March 2019.
Cooke Optics, a leading manufacturer of cinematography lenses,
temporarily closed its facilities near Leicester, UK while it made
arrangements for its workforce to operate safely within Covid--19
social distancing restrictions. It reopened in April, gradually
increasing output towards full production. Unsurprisingly, Cooke is
witnessing a reduction in demand for new lenses whilst studios are
closed, though demand from Asia has begun to return. The business
has a strong order book and a good liquidity position with the
GBP30m of senior debt on its balance sheet provided by Caledonia.
The valuation at 31 March 2020 was GBP75.8m, down 18.1% from March
2019.
Buzz Bingo, the UK's biggest omni-channel bingo business, has
temporarily closed all 118 retail venues in response to Government
imposed social distancing measures. Buzz continues to operate and
invest in its online business (www.buzzbingo.com) which is showing
strong growth. The company employs over 3,500 people, rents the
majority of its properties and had net debt of GBP104m, with cash
on its balance sheet of GBP41m as at 31 March 2020. Costs have been
minimised wherever possible to preserve liquidity and reduce the
cash burn of the retail business including use of the Government's
furlough scheme. Buzz has good relationships with its debt
providers, which remain supportive of the business. The valuation
at 31 March 2020 was GBP41.0m, down 54.5% from March 2019.
BioAgilytix, a US based bioanalytical testing solutions
provider, had a strong year of growth, including completing the
expansion of its facilities to provide further capacity. Caledonia
is a co-investor in the business and follows the valuation
methodology utilised by Cobepa, the lead investor. Valuation at 31
March 2020 was GBP22.6m, similar to that at 31 March 2019, despite
a small reduction in underlying value which was broadly offset by
favourable exchange rate movements.
The three remaining businesses in the portfolio have a combined
carrying value of GBP27.6m. They have been affected to varying
degrees by Covid-19, but are well-positioned for the future and to
take advantage of potential opportunities as they arise.
Caledonia Funds
The Funds portfolio valuations were based on the managers'
latest published capital account statements, which, due to timing,
did not take account of the potential impact of Covid--19.
Therefore, managers' NAVs were adjusted by 16% overall, resulting
in the Funds return reducing from 13.2% to -2.8%. The underlying
performance of the portfolio was creditable, with some notable
gains and distributions during the first nine months of the year.
The investments are principally in private equity funds operating
in the US and in Asia. We substantially exited our holdings in
quoted market funds in 2019, a decision which avoided much of the
volatility seen in US and Asian markets. The historic performance
from this predominantly US dollar denominated portfolio has been
strong, showing growth of 15.3% in the US and 11.0% in the more
youthful Asian portfolio (prior to the application of the Covid--19
adjustments) aided by the weakness of Sterling against the US
dollar.
Geographic and foreign exchange exposure
Caledonia's diverse portfolio includes substantial exposure to
non-Sterling assets, as set out in the table below. In September
2019, we instigated a currency overlay to reduce exposure of the
portfolio to the US dollar and the euro, following a period of
particular Sterling weakness leading up to and post the UK General
Election. On 31 March, the currency and exposure positions were as
follows:
Investment Hedged
exposure exposure
Currency % %
---------- ---------- --------
Sterling 48 69
US dollar 45 26
Euro 6 4
Other 1 1
---------- ---------- --------
Subsequent to the year end, and in light of events surrounding
the Covid--19 pandemic, the overlay position (which generated the
hedged exposure position shown in the table) was phased out and our
currency exposure reverted to that provided by our investments.
Outlook
The outlook for our financial year 20/21 very much depends on
the successful return to normal for societies and economies around
the world. It is developing into an annus horribilis but we hope
that it will provide the platform from which we are able to return
to growth.
The majority of our investments are in a good position to
withstand this challenging economic period though those in the
consumer leisure sector face an uncertain future. It is likely that
income for the year will be lower than in 2020. However, our strong
balance sheet and, in particular, our reserves of retained
earnings, should give shareholders comfort that Caledonia is well
placed to achieve its aims of growing net assets and dividends over
the long term.

Risk management
Effective risk management is a key component of the company's
business model and assists in ensuring that the different parts of
the group operate within strategic risk parameters. The board has
overall responsibility for setting and monitoring the company's
risk appetite.
Covid-19 pandemic risk management
In March 2020, the Audit Committee conducted a review of the
emerging risks arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and the
mitigating actions taken by the business. The Committee considered
actions to address financial risks arising from market volatility,
liquidity and highly exposed Private Capital businesses. In
addition, the operational risks associated with safety of staff,
operational integrity and IT systems were all reviewed to ensure
robust mitigation plans were in place.

Notes to the final results announcement
1. General information
Caledonia Investments plc is an investment trust company
domiciled in the United Kingdom and incorporated in England in
1928, under number 235481. The address of its registered office is
Cayzer House, 30 Buckingham Gate, London SW1E 6NN. The ordinary
shares of the company are premium listed on the London Stock
Exchange.
The financial information included in this announcement has been
prepared using accounting policies consistent with International
Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRSs') as adopted by the European
Union.
Under the UK Corporate Governance Code and applicable
regulations, the directors are required to satisfy themselves that
it is reasonable to presume that the company is a going concern.
After reviewing the company's performance projections for a period
of at least 12 months, the directors are satisfied that, in taking
account of reasonably possible downsides including the potential
impact of Covid--19, the company has adequate access to resources
to enable it to meet its obligations and to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have considered
the impact of the emergence and spread of Covid--19 and potential
implications on the future of the company. Whilst there are
significant wider market uncertainties which may impact portfolio
company investments (Private Capital) and the fund investments
(Funds pool), the company does not believe this will significantly
impact the liquidity of the company over the next 12 months.
Accordingly, the directors have adopted the going concern basis in
preparing these financial statements.
In the current year, the group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases.
Adoption of this standard did not impact the financial position of
the group.

dividend, if approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting
to be held on 29 July 2020, will be payable on 6 August 2020 to
holders of shares on the register on 26 June 2020. The ex-dividend
date will be 25 June 2020.
The deadline for elections under the dividend reinvestment plan
offered by Link Asset Services will be the close of business on 16
July 2020.
For the purposes of section 1158 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010
and associated regulations, the dividends payable for the year
ended 31 March 2020 are the interim and final dividends for that
year, amounting to GBP33.5m (2019 - GBP32.5m).
3. Earnings per share

shares).
The IFRS 2 credit included in profit or loss for the year was
GBP2.4m (2019 - GBP6.6m expense).
6. Net asset value
The group's undiluted net asset value is based on the net assets

Investments plc Employee Share Trust. The group's diluted net asset
value assumes the calling of performance share and deferred bonus
awards.

Stonehage Fleming, then subject to regulatory approval.
8. Performance measures
Caledonia uses a number of performance measures to aid the
understanding of its results. The performance measures are standard
within the investment trust industry and Caledonia's use of such
measures enhances comparability. Principal performance measures are
as follows:
Net assets
Net assets provides a measure of the value of the company to
shareholders and is taken from the IFRS group net assets.
Net asset value ('NAV')
NAV is a measure of the value of the company, being its assets -
principally investments made in other companies and cash held -
minus any liabilities expressed as pence per share. NAV is
calculated by dividing net assets by the number of shares in issue,
adjusted for shares held by the Employee Share Trust and for
dilution by the exercise of outstanding share awards. NAV takes
account of dividends payable on the ex-dividend date.
NAV total return ('NAVTR')
NAVTR is a measure of how the net asset value per share has
performed over a period, considering both capital returns and
dividends paid to shareholders. NAVTR is calculated as the increase
in NAV between the beginning and end of the period, plus the
accretion from assumed dividend reinvestment during the period.
NAVTR assumes that dividends are reinvested at the NAV on the
ex-dividend date.
Annual dividends
Annual dividends are dividends declared as part of the company's
recurring dividend cycle and are typically paid out of earnings in
a financial year. Annual dividend growth is the compound annual
dividend growth rate over the period.
Total shareholder return ('TSR')
TSR measures the return to shareholders through the movement in
the share price and dividends paid during the measurement
period.
9. Financial information
The financial information set out above does not constitute the
company's statutory accounts for the years ended 31 March 2020 or
2019 but is derived from those accounts. Statutory accounts for 31
March 2019 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies, and
