One-time costs of realising our synergy targets
£291m of costs to achieve (CTA) in 2021
£205m of CTA recognised as non-operating costs
£86m of CTA recognised as capex(1)
The one-time costs relating to the realisation of the additional £50m cost synergies
include the cost of exiting multi-year leases in order to optimise our property footprint.
These costs are partly offset by gains on an associated property disposal.
