 Orora Limited Annual Report 2015MESSAGE TO 
SHAREHOLDERS

From the Chairman, 
Chris Roberts, and the 
Managing Director 
and Chief Executive 
Officer, Nigel Garrard

total dividends declared for the year were 
7.5 cents per share, which is an increase of 
25.0% over the prior year. This represents 
a dividend payout ratio of approximately 
69.0% of NPAT, which is again at the top 
end of Orora’s indicated payout range and 
reflects the Board’s continued confidence 
in the business.

Dear Shareholder,

Orora is pleased to present its 2015 
Annual Report, covering the first full  
year of operations as an independently 
listed company.  

The 2015 financial year has been a 
successful period for Orora. The Company 
delivered on its objectives and generated 
strong earnings growth and increased 
financial returns. 

Over the period, Orora grew sales revenue 
by 7.3% to $3.4 billion despite subdued 
market conditions in both its core markets: 
North America and Australasia. Orora 
delivered benefits from the ‘self-help’  
cost reduction programs slightly ahead  
of target, increased market share in the 
Glass division and grew earnings in North 
America. This culminated in earnings 
before income tax (EBIT) of $225.1 million, 
up 17.2% on the previous year, and net 
profit after tax (NPAT) of $131.4 million,  
up a pleasing 25.9%. 

Through continued financial discipline and 
improved management of working capital, 
Orora converted earnings to underlying 
cash flow, which improved 19.1% to 
$260.8 million. This further strengthened 
Orora’s balance sheet and enabled a 
reduction in leverage to 1.9 times, down 
from 2.2 times in the prior year and down 
from 2.9 times at the time the demerger 
was announced. This provides a solid 
balance sheet platform to pursue future 
growth opportunities. Net debt during the 
period reduced to $606.9 million, compared 
to $635.6 million at 30 June 2014.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

There is a detailed review of operational 
performance on pages 4 to 31 of this 
report.

Overall performance of the businesses 
during the year was pleasing, given 
economic conditions across Orora’s key 
markets remained generally subdued.

Orora Australasia delivered sales growth  
of 1.2% to $1.9 billion. Underlying sales 
increased 2.5%, broadly in line with GDP, 
after adjusting for changes in business 
operations during the prior year. The 
Australasian business increased earnings 
by 11.8% to $181.6 million, with growth 
underpinned by further delivery of cost 
reduction and innovation benefits at the 
Company’s state-of-the-art paper mill  
(B9) in Botany, New South Wales, and  
the realisation of remaining footprint and 
cost-reduction efficiency programs in the 
Fibre Packaging business. Orora delivered 
incremental cost reduction and innovation 
benefits of $18.4 million at B9 during the 
course of the year, taking cumulative 
benefits to $21.4 million.

In the Beverage business, the Glass 
division grew market share in the wine 
segment, which helped offset a slight 
decline in underlying glass volumes. 
Importantly, the Beverage team delivered 
the scheduled rebuild of the G1 glass 
furnace at Gawler (South Australia) on 
time and on budget. Notwithstanding this, 
the G1 rebuild and higher gas prices had 
an adverse impact on Glass earnings 
during the period.

Orora has announced a final dividend of 
4.0 cents per share partially franked to 
30%. Combined with the interim dividend 
of 3.5 cents per share (unfranked), the 

Within the Beverage Can division, volumes 
were stable whilst earnings were driven 
higher by a continued focus on increasing 
efficiency and reducing costs. During the 

year, the business was pleased to extend  
a long term customer agreement for a 
further ten years.

The Fibre Packaging business group saw 
higher sales, with strength in the New 
Zealand Corrugated division and increased 
volumes in most end markets offsetting 
weakness in the beverage and grocery 
segments. The continued focus on cost 
improvement drove higher earnings than 
the previous year.

In March, Orora was pleased to announce 
an investment of approximately $20.0 
million in a new state-of-the-art dairy  
sack line as a result of securing a supply 
agreement with Fonterra. The machine 
will be commissioned in late calendar  
year 2016. It will be located at the  
existing facility in Keon Park, Victoria.  
As a customer-led company, long-term 
investments and contracts such as this 
demonstrate Orora’s commitment to 
invest in initiatives for its customers and 
drive innovation across the Company.

The performance of the B9 paper mill 
during the year was pleasing, with 
production increasing approximately  
10% to 367,000 tonnes of recycled paper. 
As anticipated, export of paper from B9  
to the business and external customers  
in North America increased from 8,500 
tonnes to 55,300 tonnes. In the next 
twelve months, this is expected to grow  
to in excess of 70,000 tonnes. Overall, 
production ramp-up of B9 remains on 
track; it is anticipated the mill will exit  
the 2016 financial year on a monthly 
production run rate approaching designed 
output capacity of 400,000 tonnes.

Orora’s North American operations had 
another strong year, delivering constant 
currency sales growth of 6.2% to USD1.2 
billion. The Landsberg Packaging Solutions 
division increased revenue by 8.7% 
through higher sales to existing customers, 
winning market share and the benefit of 
the July 2014 acquisition of Worldwide 
Plastics. Higher revenue was driven by  
a focus on securing larger corporate 
accounts, primarily within the targeted 

2

Orora Limited Annual Report 2015markets of food, pharmaceutical/ 
health, information technology and 
automotive. Orora North America’s 
constant currency earnings were 14.1% 
higher at USD59.9 million, driven by 
increased sales, an ongoing focus on 
procurement, increased manufacturing 
efficiency and operating cost control.

The integration of the Worldwide Plastics 
acquisition is currently tracking ahead  
of expectations. Orora is set to deliver  
the targeted 20% return on investment 
acquisition hurdle rate in the 2016 
financial year, a year ahead of the 
expected return criteria.

In line with the Group’s growth strategy, 
on 26 August 2015 Orora announced that 
it had signed an agreement to acquire the 
assets and business of Jakait, a supplier  
of packaging, logistics services and label 
products to the greenhouse produce 
sector based in Ontario, Canada. 

The acquisition of Jakait is consistent with 
Orora’s growth strategy for North America 
as it provides further capability in the large 
food and produce market and expands 
the Company’s geographic footprint into 
Canada. Cost and revenue synergies are 
expected to be realised in the next two 
years as the business is integrated with 
Orora’s existing business activities.

THE ORORA WAY DRIVING 
OUTPERFORMANCE

Orora is a customer-focused packaging 
company. Orora’s selection as a Supplier 
of the Year by both Lion and Coca-Cola 
Amatil is testament to this approach  
and the Company is very proud of these 
awards. Throughout 2015, The Orora Way 
was further embedded within the 
business, launching recognition and 
reward programs which continue to 
reinforce awareness and aim to drive 
behavioural change to more closely  
align with the Orora Values and the  
focus on Outperformance.

As part of embedding The Orora Way 
framework and with funding aided by the 
disposal of land at Petrie (Queensland), 
Orora established the Orora Global 
Innovation Fund in July 2015. The 
objective of the fund is to invest 
approximately $45.0 million across the 
Company over three years, with an 
emphasis on innovation, modernisation 
and productivity. This is part of being a 
customer-led business and encouraging 
“out of the box” thinking to drive 
sustainable benefits.

With a strong leadership team in place,  
a focus on talent development, a sound 
strategy and a solid balance sheet, Orora 
remains well placed to deliver further 
growth and improvement in shareholder 
returns.

OUTLOOK

Orora expects to continue to drive organic 
growth, deliver on the B9 ‘self-help’ 
initiatives and invest in innovation and 
growth during 2016, with earnings 
expected to be higher than reported  
in 2015, subject to global economic 
conditions.

The Board would like to thank all of 
Orora’s stakeholders, including customers, 
shareholders, team members and 
suppliers, for their support this year.

NOTE REGARDING PRO FORMA INFORMATION

Effective 17 December 2013, Orora Limited (the Company) and its 
controlled entities (collectively referred to as the Orora Group) 
demerged from Amcor Ltd. The demerger was implemented on 
31 December 2013.

Prior to the demerger, the Company and Amcor Ltd were  
required to undertake an internal corporate restructure 
(Corporate Restructure). The Corporate Restructure took place  
as at 31 October 2013. As a result of the Corporate Restructure 
and subsequent implementation of the demerger, the statutory 
financial information of the Orora Group for the comparative 
period, being the financial year ended 30 June 2014, does not 
give a relevant view of the performance of the Orora Group as it 
is currently structured. Accordingly, the Operating and Financial 
Review contains pro forma financial information for the year 
ended 30 June 2014. This pro forma information is prepared on 
the basis that the business as it is now structured was in effect  
for the period 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014. Details of the pro 
forma adjustments made to the Orora Group’s segment financial 
information for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 can be 
found on page 22 of the 2014 Annual Report and are contained 
within the footnotes to the Operating and Financial Review within 
this report.

NOTE REGARDING NON-IFRS  
FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Throughout this report, Orora has included certain non-IFRS 
financial information. This information is presented to assist  
in making appropriate comparisons with prior periods and to 
assess the operating performance of the business. Orora uses 
these measures to assess the performance of the business  
and believes that the information is useful to investors.

The following non-IFRS measures have not been audited but  
have been extracted from Orora’s audited Financial Statements:

•  earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) before significant items

•  earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation 

(EBITDA) before significant items

•  significant items

•  average funds employed.

Performance measures such as Earnings per Share, Return on 
Average Funds Employed and EBIT Margins have been calculated 
using the non-IFRS measures listed above. All other non-IFRS 
measures, unless otherwise stated, have not been extracted  
from Orora’s audited Financial Statements. References to  
earnings throughout this report are references to EBIT before 
significant items.

OUR CUSTOMERS

OUR APPROACH

Orora values the strong relationships it  
has established and continues to grow 
with customers. Our customers are at  
the very core of our business, the centre  
of all we do. It is this focus that ultimately 
generates shareholder value.

Customer focus drives our passion  
for innovation and design. 

In Australasia our customers are 
predominantly in the grocery, fast  
moving consumer goods, agricultural  
and industrial markets. In North America, 
they are in the food, healthcare, 
technology, automotive, industrial, 
warehousing and shipping industries. 

We work collaboratively with customers  
to constantly expand, evolve and improve 
our offering. We anticipate changing 
consumer preferences and trends, and  
we deliver innovative packaging solutions 
that help our customers establish, 
maintain and grow leading positions  
in their respective markets. 

Recognition of Orora as a Supplier of  
the Year during the reporting period by 
both Coca-Cola Amatil and Lion, as well  
as Orora’s inclusion in the 2014 BRW  
Most Innovative Companies list, the 
highest ranking packaging company in  
that list, are testament to our approach.

OUR TEAM MEMBERS

Our team members are central to  
our ability to deliver on the promises  
we make to customers. The safety  
and wellbeing of team members, 
development of talent within the 
business and recruitment of skills 
required for the business to thrive,  
are priorities. During the past year  
we introduced an award-winning 
induction program. We invested in 
talent development, launching our  
own training and development portal 
Orora Global University (OGU) and,  
for the first time, announcing specific 
diversity-based recruitment targets.  
We aim to build on this foundation  
in the years ahead.

DELIVERING ON THE PROMISE

In 2014 we embarked on a program  
to develop a company culture to drive 
Outperformance. That program 
uncovered a shared belief in the 
importance of what we do, the values  
to which we hold ourselves accountable, 
and an operating framework through 
which we deliver Outperformance.

During 2015 we continued to embed  
that program, known as The Orora Way, 
within our business, initiating campaigns 
to reinforce awareness and launching 
programs to recognise and reward 
behaviours aligned with The Orora Way 
framework. 

We continue to hardwire The Orora Way 
in the business to underpin and guide  
all we do, and in doing so drive 
Outperformance to generate value  
for shareholders.

OUR BUSINESS 
STRATEGY 

A customer-led provider of innovative packaging 
solutions, Orora has, since listing in December 2013, 
consistently delivered in line with its stated strategy. 

With an experienced Board and executive 
team, Orora creates shareholder value 
through disciplined execution in five  
areas: focused portfolio, well-invested 
businesses, “self-help” earnings 
opportunities, strong operating cash  
flow, and returns-focused capital 
allocation. Orora executes its strategy 
within a disciplined operating framework 
and a culture of Outperformance.

The Company has successfully completed 
a number of divestment and footprint 
rationalisation initiatives in recent years. 
Orora seeks exposure to attractive 
end-market segments through packaging 
sectors that exhibit appealing return and 
growth characteristics. The Company 
continues to refine and focus its portfolio 
to meet these objectives.

Significant large-scale investments of  
more than $1 billion have been made  
in the business over recent years and 
Orora continues to invest in innovation 
and growth. In July 2015, it established  
the Orora Global Innovation Fund – 
approximately $45.0 million to be invested 
over three years to drive innovation, 
modernisation and productivity across the 
Company. This is part of being customer-
led and encouraging “out of the box” 
thinking to deliver sustainable benefits.

Orora’s approach to delivering “self-help” 
earnings opportunities, ensuring strong 
operating cash flows, and maintaining 
returns-focused capital allocation are  
shown in the table opposite.

WHAT IS NEXT?

Having established a strong balance sheet, 
Orora continues to invest in innovation 
and growth for future success, while 
operating a disciplined framework for 
capital allocation.

In Australasia, Orora continues to focus  
on merger and acquisition initiatives, 
innovation, and customer-led growth 
investments such as the $20.0 million 
investment announced in February 2015 
in a state-of-the-art dairy sack line to 
supply multi-walled dairy bags to Fonterra’s 
New Zealand milk powder operations. 

In North America, merger and acquisition 
activities will be sought to enhance Orora’s 
geographic footprint and/or customer 
value proposition. This supplements 
organic growth from targeting large 
corporate accounts and augmenting  
the Company’s position with current 
customers. Furthermore, Orora aims  
to realise the benefits of its integrated 
fibre offering by leveraging the improved 
performance characteristics of paper  
from its state-of-the-art B9 recycled  
paper mill in Botany, Australia, which  
is increasingly being exported to the  
North American business.

A PROVEN MERGER AND ACQUISITION PROCESS

Merger and acquisition activity has 
become a significant focus for both  
Orora’s Australasian and North American 
operations. To ensure the successful 
execution of Orora’s growth strategy,  
we have established a well-credentialed 
merger and acquisition team and adopted 

a proven and repeatable merger, 
acquisition and integration process.  
This approach combines the technical  
skills of our in-house specialists, the 
operational expertise of our functional 
business leaders, and proprietary systems 
and methods unique to The Orora Way. 

Disciplined execution in line with this 
process will ensure that these activities 
create maximum shareholder value in  
the shortest possible time. A high-level 
overview of this process is outlined below.

KEY POINTS

•  Despite economic conditions in  

Australia remaining flat, the Australasian 
business delivered an increased EBIT  
of $19.1 million to $181.6 million,  
11.8% higher than the prior period

•  Organic volume growth, outside of 

market share gains in Glass, remained 
generally muted and broadly in line  
with GDP. Overall sales increased  
1.2% to $1.9 billion, with underlying 
sales growing 2.5%, after accounting  
for changes in business operations 
during the prior year

•  The Australasian business improved 
RoAFE by 130 bps to 10.2% (up from 
8.9%) driven by higher earnings with 
benefits from previous large scale 
investments materialising

•  The Australian businesses have worked 
through the implications of the Carbon 
Tax repeal. The net adverse impact in 
FY15 was $4.4 million

FIBRE DIVISION

•  Fibre earnings were higher than the prior 
year, driven by the ongoing ramp-up  
of the B9 recycled paper mill and 
remaining cost improvement initiatives

FIBRE PACKAGING

•  Sales in New Zealand were higher  

than the prior year driven by stronger 
volumes in the agriculture sector

•  Sales in Australia were stable with the 
prior year. Improvements in the meat, 
fruit and produce sectors were offset  
by weakness in the beverage and 
grocery segments. Other markets  
were generally steady

•  Cost improvement and sales margin 

initiatives contributed to better margins

•  While there will be an adverse earnings 

impact in FY16 from a recently 
terminated distribution agreement,  
it is expected to be recovered in the 
medium term as the business is actively 
investing in expanding and refining its 
“go direct” channel to market. For 
example, in May 2015, the business 
completed a small bolt on acquisition  
of a South Australian based distributor 
of fibre packaging to fruit and produce 
growers and, in June 2015, approved 
three new purpose built distribution 
facilities in North Queensland

PACKAGING AND DISTRIBUTION:

•  Improved sales in the dairy and quick 

service restaurant segments were offset 
by softness in the grocery and industrial 
markets. Earnings were in line with the 
prior year

•  The Australian Cartons business 

successfully implemented SAP during 
the year

•  A small subscale Cartons converting 
plant in Zillmere, Queensland closed  
in September 2014. Transition of 
production to the remaining Cartons 
facilities has been completed

BOTANY RECYCLED PAPER MILL (B9):

•  Production ramp up remains on track. 
Manufacturing stability continued to 
improve in FY15 enabling the team to 
focus on reducing the cost of production

•  During the 12 months to June 2015, 

367,000 tonnes of recycled paper were 
produced (335,000 tonnes in FY14) – 
this was in line with expectations

•  B9 exported 55,300 tonnes of recycled 
paper to Orora North America and US 
based customers during FY15 (8,500  
in FY14)

•  During the year, the business signed  

a short term agreement to sell 12,000 
tonnes of recycled paper to one of the 
world’s largest paper producers – an 
endorsement of the world class quality 
and functionality of B9 paper

•  The ongoing rationalisation of Orora’s 

recycling collection footprint continued 
in FY15 and included disposing the 
Western Australian recycling assets

BEVERAGE DIVISION

•  Beverage earnings were slightly ahead 
of the prior year. Glass market share 
gains within the wine segment and 
manufacturing efficiencies across the 
Beverage Division were largely offset  
by the impact of rebuilding Orora’s first 
glass furnace (G1) and higher gas costs 
at Glass. The wine closure division 
earnings were steady

BEVERAGE CANS

•  Volumes were stable whilst earnings 
were higher driven by manufacturing 
productivity initiatives

•  A long term customer agreement  
was renewed in December 2014  
for a further 10 years

•  The business is in the advanced stages 

of transitioning to a full import sourcing 
model for aluminium. Management  
of the working capital impact is well 
progressed

GLASS

•  Sales in the wine segment were  

ahead of the prior year. The business 
benefited from market share gains, 
whilst underlying wine volumes were 
slightly softer

•  Volumes in the beer segment were 

steady

•  The rebuild of G1 was completed on 
schedule in April 2015 in line with 
expectations. CapEx was approximately 
$30.0 million and the adverse earnings 
impact was $7.4 million

•  On 1 January 2015, the Glass business 
commenced paying higher gas prices 
following the expiry of the legacy long 
term supply agreement. The impact  
on EBIT in the second half of FY15  
was $4.6 million. Despite cost pass 
through mechanisms taking effect,  
the incremental impact on EBIT in  
FY16 is expected to be a further  
$2.0 million. The net unrecovered 
portion is expected to be recovered 
from the market over time

•  Imported soda ash prices are also  
rising (due both to commodity and  
FX). Despite pass through mechanisms 
taking effect, the expected adverse 
impact in FY16 is approximately  
$3.0 million

INNOVATION, GROWTH  
& SUSTAINABILITY

•  Orora will invest approximately  

$20.0 million in a new state of the art 
dairy sack line as a result of securing  
a long term supply agreement with 
Fonterra. The machine will be 
commissioned in late calendar year 
2016. It will be located within Orora’s 
existing facility at Keon Park, Victoria

•  The Australasian business will utilise  
the Orora Global Innovation Fund to 
drive innovation, modernisation and 
productivity across the business group

•  Orora’s achievements within innovation 

have been recognised by external 
parties and several customer Supplier  
of the Year awards during FY15

•  As an example, and in recognition of 

Orora’s leadership within sustainability, 
the business won the Energy Efficiency 
Council of Australia award for Large 
Business in 2015

•  Orora has commissioned an innovative 
trade waste treatment plant at the 
Scoresby Fibre Packaging facility in 
Victoria – virtually eliminating the site’s 
prescribed industrial waste to landfill 
and providing tangible environmental 
benefits

PERSPECTIVES FOR FY16

•  As part of assisting the delivery of the 
remaining B9 cost reduction benefits 
and in line with ramp up expectations,  
it is anticipated B9 will exit FY16  
on a monthly production run rate 
approaching designed output capacity 
of 400,000 tonnes

•  Export of B9 paper to North America  
is expected to increase to in excess  
of 70,000 tonnes in FY16

•  From January 2016, B9 will commence 
paying higher gas prices due to the 
expiry of the legacy long term supply 
agreement. Expected FY16 EBIT  
impact is approximately $2.0 million –  
$3.0 million

•  The Packaging and Distribution division 
has commenced a reorganisation of  
its New Zealand Cartons operations. 
This involves the consolidation of three 
existing NZ sites into two, with the 
Wellington site to be closed (FY16) and 
production capability at the remaining 
NZ sites to be upgraded. The business 
currently serviced from Wellington will 
be transferred to the remaining NZ sites 
and Orora’s Australian Cartons business. 
This project is expected to be completed 
in the second half of FY16. Costs 
incurred to date are approximately  
$2.3 million and have been accounted 
for within the Corporate division

•  As previously disclosed, the Glass 
division has won market share in  
the beer segment commencing  
October 2015

of plastic packaging products to the 
food and produce sector, is ahead of 
expectations. The 20% RoAFE acquisition 
hurdle rate is expected to be achieved  
in FY16, a year ahead of return criteria

•  The Manufacturing division delivered 
increased earnings through improved 
manufacturing efficiency and solid 
operating cost control despite continued 
margin pressure

•  The North American business imported 
55,300 tonnes of B9 paper (8,500 tonnes 
in FY14), the majority for internal usage, 
which enables the business to market 
an integrated fibre offering

•  Foreign Exchange (FX) benefit on North 
American sales was AUD123.1 million

KEY POINTS – REVENUES

•  The North American business had  

a strong year with sales up 6.2% on  
a constant currency basis despite 
underlying market conditions  
remaining subdued

•  Landsberg Packaging Solutions increased 
revenue by 8.7% through higher sales  
to existing customers, winning market 
share and the benefit of the July 2014 
acquisition of Worldwide Plastics

•  Higher revenue was driven by a focus  
on securing larger corporate accounts 
within the targeted markets of food, 
pharmaceutical/health, IT and auto  
and by ongoing commission-only sales 
growth

 – Corporate accounts grew 10.5%  

and now represent approximately 
22% of revenues

 – Sales to the above target markets 
grew 14% and now represent 
approximately 40% of revenues

•  The business continues to benefit from 
its ongoing transition to a provider  
of customised packaging solutions as 
opposed to a distributor of commodity 
product. This represents the ability to 
add value at every level of the customer’s 
supply chain via a unique design-through- 
to-end-consumer approach to packaging

EBIT, RETURNS AND CASH FLOW

•  EBIT margin improved to 4.9% 

(compared to 4.5% in FY14) reflecting 
efficiency benefits, sound overall 
operating cost control and ongoing 
procurement improvements

•  Reported earnings were up 25.4% with 

FX translation benefits of AUD5.7 million 
over the prior period

•  On a constant currency basis, earnings 
for the year were up 14.1% on the prior 
year at USD59.9 million

•  RoAFE grew 100 bps to 22.6% due  

to higher earnings and good balance 
sheet management

•  Sound capital management drove strong 
cash conversion of 80.6% – providing a 
solid funding platform for future growth

GROWTH AGENDA

•  Whilst the bias is slightly positive, the 
business is yet to witness any tangible 
improvement in economic conditions 
within the region

•  The focus remains on securing large 
corporate accounts and increasing  
sales to current customers. This growth 
will be driven organically through 
leveraging the national footprint of the 
business, extensive product breadth  
and customised packaging solution 
value proposition

•  The business will continue to seek  
to capitalise on the benefits of an 
integrated fibre operation through 
selling the enhanced performance 
characteristics of B9 paper

•  A pipeline of acquisition targets  

within the preferred markets is being 
actively managed. These will either 
complement/extend the geographic 
footprint and/or enhance the 
customised product capability  
of the business

•  Orora North America will utilise the 
Orora Global Innovation Fund to  
drive innovation, modernisation and 
productivity across the business segment

PERSPECTIVES FOR FY16

•  Integration of the new Enterprise 

Resource Planning (ERP) system is on 
track. Expenditure of USD9.9 million 
occurred in FY15, with approximately 
the same amount to be spent in FY16 
and a small amount in FY17

•  With integration of the July 2014 

acquisition on track, the North American 
business is well placed to deliver 
benefits from cross selling of rigid  
plastic packaging

Orora Limited Annual Report 2015•  Tighter margins in the North American 

•  Higher gas costs within the Glass 

Manufacturing business

division impacting from January 2015

REVENUE

Sales revenue of $3,407.8 million was  
up 7.3% on the prior year, driven by:

•  Higher sales in North America – from 
securing increased sales to existing 
customers, market share gains and 
benefits from the July 2014 acquisition

•  Increased Glass sales as a result of the 
impact of market share gains in the  
wine segment

•  Higher sales in the NZ Fibre operations 
from improved volumes in fresh food

•  Pass through of higher aluminium prices 

within Beverage Cans

Taking into account several of the above 
factors, underlying sales in Australasia 
increased by 2.5%. Constant currency  
sales in North America grew by 6.2%.

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST 
AND TAX

EBIT increased by 17.2% to $225.1 million. 
Improved earnings attributable to:

•  On target delivery of B9 recycled paper 

mill cost reduction and innovation 
benefits

•  Foreign exchange benefit on US dollar 
denominated North American sales 
($123.1 million on the prior year)

•  Cost reduction, efficiency and sales 

margin improvement initiatives within 
the Fibre Packaging division

Revenue gains were partially offset by:

•  Reduced external paper exports to  

Asia as a result of increased B9 paper 
exports to Orora North America

•  Lost revenue from the Petrie cartonboard 

mill closure during the prior year

•  Exit of sales of surplus Old Corrugated 
Cardboard (OCC) to Asia resulting  
from ongoing OCC collection footprint 
rationalisation

•  Slightly lower sales in Australasia 

Packaging & Distribution

•  Glass market share gains in the wine 
segment and production efficiencies 
across the Beverage business

•  Increased Landsberg Packaging 

Solutions sales and cost efficiency 
benefits in the North American business

•  Translational foreign exchange benefit 
from US dollar denominated earnings 
($5.7 million on the prior year)

Earnings gains were partially offset by:

•  The three month rebuild of Orora’s  
first glass furnace (G1) completed  
in April 2015

•  Impact from the repeal of the Carbon 
Tax by the Australian Government

COST REDUCTION UPDATE

•  On target delivery of $18.4 million  
of incremental cost reduction and 
innovation benefits from the B9 
recycled paper mill were delivered in 
FY15. This takes the total cumulative 
benefits delivered from B9 to $21.4 
million out of $42.5 million of targeted 
net “self help” benefits

•  Cumulative B9 benefits reflect  

$19.1 million from cost reduction  
and $2.3 million from innovation/sales 
synergy benefits

•  Remaining incremental cost reduction 
benefits of $6.9 million were delivered 
from previously disclosed portfolio 
exits/plant closures and cost 
improvement/productivity initiatives. 
These programs have now been 
delivered on target and in full, with 
$43.0 million of cumulative benefits 
realised since inception in 2013

•  Orora expects to deliver approximately 
$15.0 million of incremental B9 benefits 
in FY16, with the remainder in FY17

(1)  As reported in the Segment Note contained within the Financial Statements (refer note 2) with the exception of net financing costs and income tax expense which is not 

included in the Segment Note.  

(2)  The reported results in the Segment Note (refer note 2) present a view of performance as if the internal corporate restructure associated with the demerger in December 

2013 had been effective from 1 July 2013. Refer to page 24 of the 2014 Annual Report for further details.  

(3)  Pro forma adjustments increase earnings from a loss of $61.3 million to a profit of $192.1 million as a result of: a reduction in the depreciation charge of $10.5 million; 
offset by an increase in corporate costs of $8.5 million, from accounting for the asset impairment and additional standalone costs from 1 July 2013; and the removal of 
one-off significant items expense of $251.4 million, as adjusted for in the Demerger Scheme Book.    

(4)  Pro forma adjustments to financing costs is based on the effective funding cost applied in the Demerger Scheme Book, whilst pro forma tax expense has been calculated 

using an effective tax rate of 30.8%, which is based on a blended tax rate for the Orora businesses and was the rate used in the Demerger Scheme Book.

(5)  IFRS compliant information extracted from the audited Financial Statements.

(6)  Pro forma adjustments reduce earnings from $299.3 million to $290.8 million as a result of recognising additional standalone costs from 1 July 2013 of $8.5 million,  

as adjusted for in the Demerger Scheme Book. 

(7)  Pro forma adjustments of $11.5 million reduce the total working capital cash outflow from $16.2 million to $4.7 million as a result of excluding the defined benefit 
pension top up, consistent with the 2014 Annual Report. Whilst the cash significant items are adjusted by $13.6 million, from a cash outflow of $70.9 million to  
$57.3 million, to exclude a demerger related payment. Refer to page 25 of the 2014 Annual Report for further details.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 
SUMMARY
CONTINUED

BALANCE SHEET

•  Increase in payables and provisions 

reflect higher creditors as a result of the 
transition to an import sourcing model 
for aluminium, improved trading terms 
with vendors, impact of the US 
acquisition in July 2014 and the foreign 
exchange translation effect on North 
American payables. This was partially 
offset by utilisation of cost reduction 
and restructuring provisions (see Cash 
Flow below)

CASH FLOW

Earnings growth was successfully 
converted into cash with operating  
cash flow increasing by $41.9 million to 
$260.8 million. Cash conversion increased 
to 76% from 72% in the prior period and 
exceeded the 70% target.

Main movements included:

•  Increase in EBITDA of $32.4 million

•  Sound management of working capital 

across the business

•  Gross CapEx totalled $106.1 million and 
included expenditure on the G1 glass 
furnace rebuild and new ERP system in 
North America

•  Net CapEx of $80.7 million includes 
proceeds of $11.3 million from the 
disposal of LAU shares, $9.0 million 
from the sale of a surplus land parcel  
at Botany, NSW and $5.0 million from 
the sale of assets associated with the 
Western Australian recycling business. 
Net CapEx in FY16, including initial 
investments under the Orora Innovation 
Fund and proceeds from the sale of 
Petrie, is expected to be in line with  
the medium term average of 80–90%  
of depreciation

Key balance sheet movements since June 
2014 were:

•  Increase in other current assets is  

mainly a result of the foreign exchange 
translation effect on North American 
receivables and inventories. Lower 
inventory in most Australasian divisions, 
including stock drawdown relating to the 
glass furnace rebuild, was offset by raw 
material stock build in Beverage Cans  
to support the transition to imported 
sourcing model for aluminium (working 
capital impact partially offset by higher 
related payables – refer below)

•  Net property, plant and equipment 
(PP&E) increased due to the foreign 
exchange translation impact on Orora 
North America PP&E. CapEx for FY15 
included spend on the following major 
items: corrugated equipment upgrades/
innovation capability enhancements in 
Australasia and North America, including 
high quality printing technology in New 
Zealand; rebuild of the G1 glass furnace; 
and initial deposits on the new dairy 
sack line in Victoria. Depreciation for  
the period was $92.6 million

•  Increase in intangible assets reflects 

movement within the North American 
business associated with the foreign 
exchange translation effect on intangible 
assets, goodwill relating to the July 2014 
US acquisition and CapEx spend on the 
new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) 
system licences

•  The disposal of shares in Lindsay 

Australia Limited (LAU) is represented 
within the decrease in Investments  
and Other Assets

•  Net debt decreased by $28.7 million 

during the year as a result of converting 
increased earnings into cash. This is 
despite the adverse foreign exchange 
translation impact on USD denominated 
net debt of $36.7 million. On a constant 
currency basis, net debt would have 
been $67.0 million lower than June 2014

24

•  Cash significant items in FY15 relate to 
spend on onerous recycling contracts 
and final payments in relation to the 
legacy cost reduction and footprint 
rationalisation initiatives. There is 
approximately $6.0 million of spend 
remaining on the onerous recycling 
contracts, which are expected to run 
down over the next two to three years

WORKING CAPITAL

•  Average total working capital to sales 
decreased to 10.3% (compared to  
10.6% in the prior period) reflecting 
better inventory management and 
improved vendor trading terms across 
the business offsetting the impact  
of higher inventory positions from  
the transition to an import sourcing 
model for aluminium

CORPORATE UPDATE

•  The proprietary Orora Way operating 
model was launched in July 2014 to 
drive competitive advantage through a 
customer led culture of Outperformance. 
As part of embedding this framework 
and with funding aided by the disposal 
of the Petrie land (refer Events 
Subsequent within the Director’s 
Report), the Orora Global Innovation 
Fund was established in July 2015.  
The plan is to invest approximately 
$45.0 million over three years with an 
emphasis on innovation, modernisation 
and productivity across Orora. This is 
part of being a customer led business 
and encouraging “out of the box” 
thinking to drive sustainable benefits

•  Orora sold its shareholding in LAU in 

March 2015. The net profit impact from 
the sale after allowing for costs 
associated with an ongoing legal dispute 
with LAU and establishing Orora’s “go 
direct to end-customer” model was 
approximately $1.7 million

•  A parcel of surplus land was sold in the 
first half of FY15 at Botany, New South 
Wales. The profit impact from the sale 
was minimal

OUR APPROACH

WORKPLACE SAFETY

Our values of Integrity, Respect and 
Teamwork underpin our approach to 
sustainability, which is based on the  
‘triple bottom line’ of:

•  Planet: finding innovative ways to 

reduce the impact that our operations 
and products may have on the

the communities in which we operate

•  Prosperity: finding innovative ways to 
create opportunities and mitigate risk.

Our day-to-day sustainability activities  
aim to deliver value for our customers  
as well as operational value for Orora.  
We have integrated sustainability into our 
everyday business processes. Our product 
development processes incorporate 
sustainability aspects including package 
recyclability, the increased use of recycled

LTIFR

Our safety performance is measured  
using two key metrics – Lost Time Injury 
Frequency Rate (LTIFR) and Recordable 
Case Frequency Rate (RCFR). These  
are shown in the chart above. LTIFR is 
measured by calculating the number  
of injuries resulting in at least one full 
work day lost per million hours worked. 

In FY15, the LTIFR was 1.9, which 
corresponds to 26 cases across our 
business. This compares to our previous 
year’s performance of 1.8 (24 cases).

RCFR is measured by calculating the 
number of medical treatment cases  
and lost time injuries per million hours 
worked. In FY15, the RCFR was 5.9, which 
corresponds to 80 cases requiring medical 
treatment across our business. This 
compares to 89 cases the year before. 

At the time of demerger, we took the 
opportunity to review our approach to 
safety and implement our own safety 
strategy. While we still have some way  
to go, as evidenced by LTIFR remaining 
steady, we have made good progress in 
reducing RCFR. We continue to adjust  
our approach to remove safety risks from 
our business, and aim to reduce both 
safety measures in the years ahead.

Our five-year occupational health and 
safety strategy includes the following  
main objectives:

•  Leadership – build on the existing 

commitment of leaders throughout  
the business to deliver an enhanced 
safety culture

•  Safety management system – continue 
the evolution of our existing system to 
effectively manage safety risks

•  Plant and equipment design – review 
and ensure all plant and equipment  
is suitably designed and safeguarded  
to enable safe operation

•  Capability – continue to develop our 
team members so they are fully 
equipped to effectively manage safety 
within their areas of responsibility.

To implement this strategy we have  
safety action plans in place across all  
of our businesses and have made good 
progress over the course of the year.

INNOVATING TO ACHIEVE ECO TARGETS

Orora has commissioned an innovative trade waste treatment plant at the  
Scoresby Fibre Packaging facility in Victoria that virtually eliminates the site’s  
prescribed industrial waste to landfill and provides tangible environmental 
benefits. The custom-designed plant employs microbial treatment of inorganic 
waste to reduce waste volumes and toxicity in support of Orora’s Eco target  
of 25% reduction of waste to landfill by 2019.

IMPLEMENTATION OF  
SAFETY STRATEGY

From a leadership perspective over the 
last financial year, management’s focus  
has been shifted to scrutiny and mitigation 
of potential Serious Injury or Fatality (SIF) 
level risk, which has ensured that 
resources continue to be applied to areas 
where they can make the greatest impact 
on the safety of our team members. 

To complement this, senior leadership  
has continued to demonstrate their 
commitment to proactively manage safety 
and engage with all team members to find 
the most effective engagement strategies. 
This has been captured and managed 
through the safety leadership tour 
program, which involves all leaders,  
from General Manager level to the CEO, 
taking time when visiting sites to actively 
engage in conversations about safety with 
team members on the shop floor. 

These conversations are an opportunity 
for the leaders to hear about any safety 
concerns, monitor key initiative progress 
and offer feedback on observations of 
tasks being performed while reinforcing 
safety standards. Reports on these tours 
are collated centrally for analysis. 

Work continues on the enhancement  
of the health, safety and environment 
management system, with a focus this 
year on major hazard and critical process 
management. This has further focused 
efforts in an objective, risk-based approach, 
to augment the Company’s assurance 
system utilising the principles of risk 
management. Compliance with the 
management system will continue to  
be monitored through both external  
and internal audits.

An indication of the success of these 
initiatives was the safety performance 
experienced during the completion of the 
Gawler Glass G1 furnace rebuild. The 
rebuild was carried out by partnering  
with a principal contractor and involved  
a significant increase in manning levels  
to complete the complex project scope. 
The project was successfully delivered 
without a recordable case or lost time 
injury, which was the result of the strong 
collaboration between Orora and the 
principal contractor on safety, technical 
and operational fronts.

FOSTERING DIVERSITY

Diversity is essential to Orora’s growth and 
success. We strive to ensure an inclusive 
and respectful environment for all team 
members, which includes a strong focus on 
gender representation. Orora currently has:

•  33% female representation on the Board

•  18% female representation in leadership 

roles; and

•  targets in place to have females 

comprise at least 30% of all new team 
member (and leadership) hires by the 
financial year ending 30 June 2017.

CREATING VALUE FOR 
CUSTOMERS

We create value for customers by:

•  offering packaging life cycle 

assessments, enabling customers  
to make informed decisions on 
packaging options

•  investing in packaging innovations  

that deliver customer satisfaction and 
consumer benefits such as packaging 
that is easy to open

•  reducing supply chain risks for our 

customers by ensuring the responsible 
and ethical sourcing of raw materials

•  ensuring the quality and safety of our 

packaging

In Australia, we apply the Australian 
Packaging Covenant’s Sustainable 
Packaging Guidelines (SPG) and globally 
we use tools such as the Packaging Impact 
Quick Evaluation Tool (PIQET) to assess 
and improve our customers’ packaging. 
Our aim is to make more efficient use  
of resources and reduce environmental 
impacts throughout the packaging system/
value chain without compromising product 
quality and safety.

At Orora we work with customers to  
help them achieve their sustainability 
objectives. We redesign customers’ 
packaging to increase the number of 
packages that can be stacked on a pallet  
or in a truck to help them reduce their 
carbon footprint, improve supply chain 
efficiencies and help optimise customers’ 
filling operations to reduce waste.

CREATING OPERATIONAL VALUE

Our approach to sustainability also aims  
to create value for Orora and ultimately 
our shareholders.

We do this by:

•  managing our environmental and  

social risks

•  identifying cost-effective process 

efficiencies to reduce the cost and 
environmental footprint of our 
operations

•  achieving our health, safety and 

environmental management goals

•  achieving our resource efficiency targets

•  maintaining our social licence to operate 
by engaging with local communities 
where our sites are located

•  engaging and developing our team 

members

UNDERSTANDING 
SUSTAINABILITY RISK 

In March 2014, the Australian Securities 
Exchange Corporate Governance  
Council released the third edition of its 
Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations (the ASX Principles). 
This includes a new Recommendation  
7.4 that requires a listed entity to disclose 
whether it has any material exposure  
to economic, environmental and social 
sustainability risks, and if it does, how  
it manages or intends to manage those 
risks. The ASX Principles define ‘material 
exposure’ as a ‘real possibility that the risk 
in question could substantially impact the 
listed entity’s ability to create or preserve 
value for security holders over the short, 
medium or long term’. 

Orora has determined that it does not 
have a material exposure to environmental 
or social sustainability risks. In forming  
this conclusion on sustainability risks, 
Orora engaged external advisers to 
facilitate this initial assessment of its 
sustainability risk profile. The scope of 
work covered all of Orora’s operations, 
and considered the direct and indirect 
risks to Orora’s operations, reputation, 
financial performance and supply chain.  
For information on Orora’s assessment  
of economic risks refer to pages 30 to 31.

The advisers carried out the assessment  
in several stages: 

1.  Interviewing senior representatives 

from Strategy, Sales, Human Resources, 
Environment, Safety, Energy, Corporate 
Affairs, Risk, Investor Relations, Legal 
(Company Secretary) and Procurement. 
This provided an informed internal 
stakeholder view, which identified a 
number of risks and risk categories

2.  Researching the sustainability risk 
profile of the packaging industry in 
general, including the risk profile of  
a number of Orora’s peers in the 
packaging manufacturing and recycling 
industries; as well as customers in 
Orora’s supply chain. The scope of this 
work covered economic, environmental 
and social sustainability risk

3.  Interviewing several of Orora’s key 

customers, to compare Orora’s view  
of sustainability risk to the views held 
by its most important market sectors

28

Orora Limited Annual Report 20154.  Conducting a workshop with internal 

stakeholders, including senior 
management, to validate the 
sustainability risks identified in the 
interviews and research, and culminating 
in an agreed list of risks that were rated 
based on their potential business 
impact, using the adviser’s materiality 
assessment framework. The results 
were then mapped, tested and 
socialised with key internal stakeholders

The sustainability risks that could 
potentially impact Orora identified 
through this process are referred to below. 

However, none of these risks referred to 
below were assessed to be material for 
Orora at this time. The principal risks and 
uncertainties that could have a material 
impact on Orora are set out on pages  
30 to 31.

Energy pricing risk – the impact of rising 
natural gas and electricity prices

Energy supply risk – the risk of a natural 
gas shortage in the New South Wales 
market, leading to possible operational 
disruption of Orora’s B9 recycled paper 
mill at Botany, NSW

Ethical sourcing risk – the reputational  
and supply chain risk arising from sourcing  
materials from developing countries that 
may not have the same standards for 
governance, human rights, environmental 
protection and quality, as more 
established markets

Resource depletion risk – the reputational 
and supply chain risk from resource 
depletion in Orora’s supply chain, notably 
the impact of water scarcity on Orora’s 
operations and markets, principally in  
the western regions of North America

Safety risk – the risk to team member 
health and safety associated with Orora’s 
manufacturing activities, including team 
member health and wellbeing

Innovation risk – the risk of Orora falling 
behind its competitors (or being perceived 
to have fallen behind), due to a lack of 
innovation in products and new markets

Waste and recycling risk – the risk of  
Orora being perceived as falling behind  
its competitors in the development  
of recyclable products, and in waste 
collection and recycling

Climate risk – the risk of climate change 
including the operational risks of extreme 
weather events, and changes to food 
production and raw material availability 
due to sustained climatic changes

Having concluded there are no material 
environmental and social sustainability 
risks at this time, Orora will continue to 
monitor these risks internally during the 
financial year ending 30 June 2016, and 
continue to enhance response plans to 
address these risks. Responses are likely  
to include operational and strategic 
risk-mitigation processes, development  
of performance measures to assess the 
effectiveness of responses, and reporting 
of progress using standard indicators  
of sustainability performance. 

Orora intends to carry out the 
sustainability materiality assessment 
process on a periodic basis as part of the 
normal internal risk-assessment cycle,  
and as required to monitor changes to 
existing risks and to identify and assess 
new risks that emerge.

CARBON DISCLOSURE PROJECT

Orora has responded to the Carbon 
Disclosure Project’s (CDP) request for 
information relating to climate change and 
water. CDP is a global organisation that 
encourages entities to self-report data  
on climate change, water and forest risk. 
CDP provides information to investors, 
companies and governments regarding 
carbon-related issues and businesses 
preparedness to manage carbon impacts. 
This is the first year Orora has responded 
to this survey. The Company is awaiting 
feedback from the CDP.

At this time Orora has chosen to respond 
only to CDP as it is considered to be the 
most appropriate sustainability rating 
index for a company of Orora’s size and 
coverage. Orora has not responded to 
other ratings indices.

ORORA NZ ENERGY EFFICIENCY 
PROGRAM

Orora has entered into a strategic 
partnership with the New Zealand 
Government’s Energy Efficiency 
Conservation Authority (EECA) to invest  
in energy efficiency projects across all  
of Orora’s New Zealand manufacturing 
facilities.

Orora expects to complete the program 
over three years. The program includes 
energy efficiency training for Orora team 
members at each site.

AWARDS AND RECOGNITION

This year Orora received an Energy 
Efficiency Council of Australia award  
in the Large Business category for its 
energy efficiency program. 

Orora was also a finalist in the United 
Nations Association of Australia World 
Environment Day Awards for Excellence  
in Overall Environmental Management.

RISK

DESCRIPTION

MITIGATION STRATEGIES

ECONOMIC 
CONDITIONS

Orora is susceptible to major changes in macro-
economic conditions in a single country, region or 
market. Sudden and/or prolonged deterioration  
in the economy may impact the value chain or 
industries on which Orora is dependent and could 
have a material negative impact on financial 
performance.

COUNTRY AND 
REGULATORY 
RISK

CUSTOMER

CONSUMER 
PREFERENCES

Orora predominantly operates in Australia, New 
Zealand and the United States. Orora also operates 
in other jurisdictions across a broad range of legal, 
accounting, tax, regulatory and political systems, 
some of which are subject to rapid change. The 
profitability of those operations may be adversely 
impacted by changes in the fiscal or regulatory 
regimes, difficulties in interpreting or complying 
with the local laws of those countries and reversal  
of current political, judicial or administrative policies.

Orora has strong relationships with key customers 
for the supply of packaging products and associated 
packaging-related services. These relationships are 
fundamental to Orora’s success, and the loss of key 
customers may have a negative impact on financial 
performance.

Changes in consumer preferences may result  
in some of Orora’s existing product range becoming 
obsolete, or new products not meeting sales and 
margin expectations. Orora may not be able to 
accurately predict demand, end-user preferences 
and evolving industry standards, and this may  
result in the inability to meet consumer demand  
in a timely and cost effective manner.

Orora seeks to mitigate the severity of impact that deterioration in 
macro-economic conditions in a single country, region or market  
may have by:

•  operating businesses that have a broad spread of geographic 

locations, raw material inputs and customers servicing a number  
of end markets

•  deploying an operating model that focuses on continually  

improving the value proposition to customers

•  creating and maintaining a high-performance culture

•  remaining disciplined in cash and cost management

•  continuing to invest in manufacturing capabilities to improve  

cost positions

Orora continually monitors changes or proposed changes in regulatory 
regimes that may impact on operations. Where possible, Orora appoints 
local management teams, that bring a strong understanding of the local 
operating environment and strong customer relationships. Orora also 
implements training on compliance matters globally, and regular review 
of country risk is performed by business leaders.

Orora seeks to mitigate this risk by delivering a superior value 
proposition to its customers by leveraging its operating model.  
Key to the success of this strategy is a continued drive on customer 
focus (delivery in full, on time and within specification), low cost  
and innovation. In addition, no single customer within an operating  
segment generates revenue greater than 15% of total revenue for  
the Orora Group.

Orora works closely with its customers and suppliers to propose 
solutions that address evolving consumer preferences. Orora also 
continues to build on its innovation capability to achieve the objective  
of being seen as the innovation leader for the packaging industry.

Orora Limited Annual Report 2015RISK

DESCRIPTION

MITIGATION STRATEGIES

COMPETITION

SUPPLY CHAIN

Orora operates in highly competitive markets with 
varying barriers to entry, industry structures and 
competitor motivational patterns. The actions of 
established or potential competitors may have a 
negative impact on financial performance.

Disruption to Orora’s supply chain caused by an 
interruption in the availability of key components, 
raw materials, or by technology failure may 
adversely impact sales and/or customer relations, 
resulting in unexpected costs.

FINANCIAL

Orora faces a variety of risks arising from the 
unpredictability of financial markets, including the 
cost and availability of funds to meet its business 
needs and movements in interest rates, foreign 
exchange rates and commodity prices.

MERGERS AND 
ACQUISITIONS 
(M&A)

TALENT

Orora’s growth opportunities are dependent, in  
part, on disciplined selection of suitable targets in 
the right geographies with the right participation 
strategy. Failure to be disciplined in selection, 
effective at integration or focused on capturing  
value could impact operations and have adverse 
consequences for the achievement of expected 
financial benefits.

Orora's operating and financial performance is 
largely dependent on its ability to attract and retain 
talent, in particular key personnel. Any loss of key 
personnel could adversely affect operating and 
financial performance.

BUSINESS 
INTERRUPTION 
AND 
DISRUPTION

LITIGATION

Orora operates numerous manufacturing plants 
across a number of countries. Circumstances such  
as natural disaster, technology failure or industrial 
disruption may occur, which might preclude key sites 
from operating. In these circumstances, financial 
performance may be negatively impacted.

As is the case with all businesses, Orora is exposed 
to potential legal and other claims, or disputes,  
in the ordinary course of business, including 
contractual disputes and other claims. 

Orora is ideally placed to leverage its regional experience and insight, 
footprint and scale, to deliver new ideas and value propositions to 
customers to gain competitive advantage. Orora also recognises 
innovation as a source of competitive advantage.

Orora’s businesses are sensitive to input price risks, including energy  
and other commodities, in various forms and with varying degrees of 
impact. Although Orora seeks to mitigate these risks through various 
input pricing strategies, there is no guarantee that Orora will be able  
to manage all future commodity and input price movements. Failure to 
do so may adversely affect Orora’s operations and financial performance.

Orora’s approach to supply chain risk management is multi-faceted and 
includes:

•  implementing a multi-sourcing strategy for the supply of raw materials

•  customer contracts that provide for regular and timely pass-through 

of movements in raw materials input costs

•  supplier due diligence and risk management

Orora’s Treasury function undertakes financial risk management policies 
approved by the Board. Appropriate commercial terms are negotiated 
and derivative financial instruments are used, such as foreign exchange 
contracts and interest rate swaps, to hedge these risk exposures.  
In addition, where possible, Orora plans to proportionally draw down 
debt in currencies that align with the proportion of assets in those same 
currencies, thereby creating a natural hedge.

Orora’s Strategy Team works with the businesses to identify suitable 
targets that are aligned to Orora’s overall strategy. An M&A framework 
is in place that imposes rigour in target selection, approval, due 
diligence, integration preparation/planning and post-merger value 
capture.

Orora’s human resource policies are designed to ensure that:

•  Orora has access to the widest possible pool of talent, through  

its diversity strategy

•  recruitment, training and talent identification and retention  

programs are in place

•  a high-performance culture is delivered by setting challenging 

objectives and rewarding high-performing individuals

•  remuneration is competitive in the relevant employment markets  
in order to attract, motivate and retain talent, and is aligned with 
business outcomes that deliver value to shareholders

Orora undertakes business continuity planning and disaster 
preparedness for high value or strategically important sites and 
functions. Orora also engages in continuous identification, review  
and mitigation of property risks, as well as independent loss  
prevention audits.

Orora takes legal advice in respect of such claims, and where relevant, 
makes provisions and disclosure regarding such claims in its financial 
statements. There are no current claims or disputes of a material nature.

*Environmental and social sustainability risks that are not considered material are referred to on page 29.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL 
REVIEW

EARLY ADOPTION OF AASB 9  
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

On 24 August 2015, the Board approved 
the early adoption of AASB 9 Financial 
Instruments as issued in December 2014, 
with effect from 1 July 2015. Refer to note 
8.3 to the Financial Statements for further 
information.

ACQUISITION OF JAKAIT

On 26 August 2015, Orora signed an 
agreement to acquire the assets and 
business of Jakait, a supplier of packaging, 
logistics services and label products to  
the greenhouse produce sector based  
in Ontario, Canada. The consideration  
is CAD16.5m (AUD17.2m) which 
represents an EBITDA multiple of 5.6 
times. There is also an additional returns 
based consideration component of up  
to CAD5.5m (AUD5.7m) payable over  
5 years. The anticipated effective date is  
1 September 2015. The acquisition will be 
funded from existing cash/debt facilities.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends paid or declared by the 
Company to members during the  
financial year are set out in note 5.2  
to the Financial Statements. 

On 24 August 2015, the Board authorised 
management to issue a request to the 
Trustee of the Orora Employee Share  
Trust to waive the entitlement of Treasury 
Shares held in the Trust to be paid the  
final 2014/15 dividend. Refer to note 8.3 
of the Financial Statements for further 
information.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE 
AND REPORTING

The Company is committed to continuous 
improvement of its environmental 
performance by finding better ways to 
manufacture and distribute its products. 
This is guided by the Company’s 
Environmental Policy, a copy of which  
is available on the Company’s website.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS

(a) Carbon emissions

The Operating and Financial Review 
beginning at page 4 of this Annual Report 
contains information on the Company’s 
business strategies and prospects for 
future financial years, and refers to  
likely developments in the Company’s 
operations and the expected results of 
these operations in future financial years. 
Information on likely developments in the 
Company’s business strategies, prospects 
and operations for future financial years 
and the expected results of those 
operations has not been included in this 
report where the Directors believe it 
would likely result in unreasonable 
prejudice to the Company. Details that 
could give rise to material detriment to  
the Company, for example, information 
that is commercially sensitive, confidential 
or could give a third party a commercial 
advantage have also not been included. 

In July 2014, the Australian Government 
passed a number of legislative 
amendments to repeal the carbon tax.  
In November 2014, the Australian 
Government passed amendments to the 
Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) 
Act 2011 (Carbon Credits Act), which gave 
effect to the Emissions Reduction Fund, an 
element of the Australian Government’s 
Direct Action Plan.

The Carbon Credits Act applies to facilities 
with direct CO2 emissions of greater than 
100,000 tonnes per year. These facilities 
are required to maintain their direct 
emissions below their historical peak level. 
Facilities that exceed their historical peak 
CO2 emissions will be required to purchase 
CO2 credits to offset their increase in 
emissions.

An operating and financial review of the 
consolidated entity during the financial 
year and the results of these operations 
begin at page 4 of this Annual Report.

STATE OF AFFAIRS

There have been no significant changes  
in the state of affairs of the consolidated 
entity during the financial year ended  
30 June 2015.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The general activities of the consolidated 
entity are set out on pages 6 to 7 of this 
Annual Report.

There were no significant changes in  
the nature of the principal activities of  
the consolidated entity during the year 
under review.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE 
END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

US PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On 17 July 2015, the Group announced 
that it had successfully completed the 
USD250.0 million private placement.  
Refer to note 8.3 for further details on  
the impact of the private placement.

AUSTRALIAN LAND SALE

On 20 July 2015, the Group announced 
that it had reached agreement to sell 
Petrie land for a total consideration  
of $50.5 million. The Group received  
$20.0 million on the exchange of contracts 
and the balance of the proceeds will be 
paid as decommissioning of the site 
progresses over the next two years.  
The total profit on the sale is anticipated 
to be approximately $10.0 million.

34

DIRECTORS’ REPORTSTATUTORY MATTERSOrora Limited Annual Report 2015Orora’s Gawler glass plant exceeds the 100,000 tonnes per year CO2 threshold and is therefore subject to the Carbon Credits Act. 
Due to the recent re-build of its G1 furnace with improved energy efficiency, it is unlikely that the Gawler plant will exceed its historical 
peak for some time.

The CO2 emissions from Orora’s B9 recycled paper mill in Botany, New South Wales are currently below the 100,000 tonnes per year 
CO2 threshold, and for the time being will not be subject to the Carbon Credits Act.

Orora’s other manufacturing facilities are significantly below the 100,000 tonnes per year of CO2 threshold so are also not currently 
subject to the Carbon Credits Act.

(b) Greenhouse gas requirements

In Australia, Orora is subject to reporting obligations under the Australian Government’s National Greenhouse & Energy Reporting Act 
2007 (NGER Act).

The NGER Act requires the company to report on its annual Australian greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. The Company has 
data gathering and management systems in place that comply with the NGER Act and the Clean Energy Regulator’s audit processes.

(c) Manufacturing

All of the Company’s manufacturing sites are subject to significant environmental regulation including, where applicable, specific 
environmental licences. These licences require discharges to air, land and water to be below specified levels of contamination.

Compliance with these regulations and the Company’s overall environmental performance is monitored by the Sustainability Team, 
which liaises directly with divisional and site-based health, safety and environment professionals. The Company’s environmental 
performance and regulatory compliance is also discussed regularly at Executive Leadership Team meetings.

The Directors are not aware of any material breaches of environmental regulations or site-specific licences during or since the  
financial year ended 30 June 2015.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the Company has entered into agreements with each person who is, or has been, an 
officer of the Company. This includes the directors in office at the date of this report, all former directors and other executive officers  
of the Company, indemnifying them against any liability to any person other than the Company, or a related body corporate that may 
arise from their acting as officers of the Company, notwithstanding that they may have ceased to hold office. There is an exception 
where the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith, or is otherwise prohibited by law.

Due to confidentiality obligations and undertakings set out in these agreements, no further details in respect of the premiums paid,  
or the terms of the agreements can be disclosed.

No indemnity payment has been made under any of the documents referred to above during or since the financial year ended  
30 June 2015.

36

DIRECTORS’ REPORTSTATUTORY MATTERSOrora Limited Annual Report 2015INDEMNIFICATION OF AUDITORS

The Company’s auditor is 
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).  
During and since the financial year  
ended 30 June 2015:

•  no premium has been paid by the 

Company in respect of any insurance  
for PwC

•  no indemnity has been paid by the 

Company in respect of PwC’s 
appointment as auditor

•  no officers of the Company were 

partners or directors of PwC, while PwC 
undertook an audit of the Company.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF  
OF THE COMPANY

No proceedings have been brought or 
intervened in on behalf of the Company 
with leave of the Court, nor has any 
application for leave been made in respect 
of the Company, under section 237 of the 
Corporations Act 2001.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

During the year, PwC, the Company’s 
auditor, performed certain other services 
in addition to their statutory duties. The 
Board has considered the non-audit services 
provided during the financial year by the 
auditor and, in accordance with written 
advice provided by resolution of the Audit 
& Compliance Committee, is satisfied that 

the provision of those non-audit services 
during the financial year by the auditors  
is compatible with the general standard  
of independence for auditors, and did not 
compromise, the auditor independence 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 
for the following reasons.

•  All non-audit services were subject to 
the corporate governance procedures 
adopted by the Company and have been 
reviewed by the Audit & Compliance 
Committee to ensure they do not 
impact the impartiality and objectivity 
of the auditor. In particular, all non-audit 
services are approved in accordance 
with the non-audit services delegations 
and approvals framework and reported 
to the Audit & Compliance Committee  
at each meeting.

•  The non-audit services provided do  

not undermine the general principles 
relating to auditor independence as  
set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants, as they did 
not involve reviewing or auditing the 
auditor’s own work, acting in a 
management or decision-making 
capacity for the Company, acting as an 
advocate for the Company or jointly 
sharing risks and rewards. A copy of  
the auditor’s independence declaration 
as required under Section 307C of the 
Corporations Act 2001 is included in  
the Directors’ Report on page 55.

Details of the amounts paid to PwC and its 
related practices for audit and non-audit 
services provided during the financial year 
are set out in note 3.4 to the Financial 
Statements on page 73. In each case,  
the engagement of PwC was made on its 
merits (based on service level, expertise, 
cost, as well as geographical spread).

 Orora Limited Annual Report 2015Dear Fellow Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board I am pleased to present Orora’s Remuneration Report for the 
financial year ended 30 June 2015.

The remuneration detailed in the report reflects Orora’s remuneration strategy and the 
Company’s performance over the course of the year. 

Orora’s remuneration strategy and associated programs are specifically designed to 
create shareholder value by aligning challenging and relevant performance metrics with 
appropriate executive reward.

The Company’s performance is inextricably linked with the talent and performance of its 
team members. As such, appropriate remuneration structures, and the role they play in 
attracting and retaining talent, and motivating team members, are critical to delivering 
Outperformance.

To ensure our approach to executive reward remains relevant and competitive, we 
continue to review these arrangements considering the changing business environment.

The Board concluded that conditions were such that there was no need to change the 
approach to remuneration that was adopted in 2014. 

CHRIS ROBERTS
Chairman

DIRECTORS’ REPORTREMUNERATION REPORTOrora Limited Annual Report 2015The Directors of Orora Limited (‘Orora’ or 
the ‘Company’) present the Remuneration 
Report (which forms part of the Directors’ 
Report) prepared in accordance with 
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 
for the Company and its controlled entities 
(collectively, the ‘Orora Group’) for the 
financial year ended 30 June 2015.

INTRODUCTION

KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

STRUCTURE OF THIS REPORT

Orora’s 2015 Remuneration Report is 
divided into the following sections:

1.   Company performance – A key driver  

of remuneration

2.  Executive remuneration at Orora

3.   Outline of remuneration arrangements 

at Orora

4.   Executive Key Management Personnel 
(KMP) remuneration for the financial 
year ended 30 June 2015

5.  Executive KMP Service Agreements

6.  Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration

For the purposes of this report, key 
management personnel (KMP) includes 
each of the Directors, both executive  
and non-executive, and nominated  
Senior Executives who have authority  
and responsibility for planning, directing 
and controlling the activities of the  
Orora Group either directly or indirectly.

“Executive KMP” refers to the KMP other 
than the Non-Executive Directors (and 
includes the Managing Director and Chief 
Executive Officer). The use of the term 
“Senior Executives” in this remuneration 
report is a reference to the Managing 
Director and Chief Executive Officer and  
all of his direct reports (including the other 
Executive KMP), not all of whom meet the 
definition of a KMP. References to “Other 
Executive KMP” means the Executive KMP 
excluding the Managing Director and Chief 
Executive Officer. 

Non–Executive Directors have oversight  
of the strategic direction of the Group but 
no direct involvement in the day-to-day 
management of the business.

 Orora Limited Annual Report 20151. COMPANY PERFORMANCE – A KEY DRIVER OF REMUNERATION

Orora has a strong performance-based culture. The Board seeks to foster this through rewarding executives for the achievement  
of the Company’s short term and long term strategy and business objectives, with a view to generating above-average returns for 
shareholders.

This report gives an overview of how the Company’s performance for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 has driven remuneration 
outcomes for our Senior Executives.

Table 1 summarises key indicators of the performance of Orora and relevant shareholder returns over the financial year ended  
30 June 2015. This table will be expanded in future years to include a five year summary of the Orora Group’s financial results.

(1)  For future financial years, statutory financial performance will be presented on a post significant items basis (subject to Board discretion). 

(2)  Effective 17 December 2013, the Orora Group demerged from Amcor Ltd. The demerger was implemented on 31 December 2013. As a result of the corporate restructure 
to effect the demerger, the Orora Group’s statutory financial information as at 30 June 2014 did not represent the performance of the Orora Group as it is currently 
structured. Accordingly, the pro forma financial results of the Orora Group (which forms the base for future performance assessment) has been disclosed above in respect 
of the financial year ended 30 June 2014 and is presented on a pre-significant items basis. 

(3)  Total Shareholder Return (TSR) is calculated as the change in share price for the year, plus dividends announced for the year, divided by opening share price.

(4)  Operating Free Cash Flow excludes cash significant items that are considered to be outside the ordinary course of operations and non-recurring in nature and include  

net capital expenditure.

(5)  Return on Average Funds Employed (RoAFE) is calculated as EBIT/average funds employed.

The Board has set challenging financial and non-financial performance targets for Senior Executives and has directly aligned Senior 
Executive incentives to the achievement of those targets. The link is clear: when target performance is achieved, target rewards are 
earned, and when above target performance is achieved, Senior Executives earn above target rewards. Where Company performance 
does not meet the Board’s performance targets, Senior Executives will receive reduced or no benefit from their ‘at risk’ short term or 
long term incentive components.

For the financial year ended 30 June 2015, the average short term reward for the Executive KMP is at above target levels, which aligns 
with overall Company performance that exceeded the targets that were set.

DIRECTORS’ REPORTREMUNERATION REPORTOrora Limited Annual Report 20152.4  REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE

2.4.1   THE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE

The Human Resources Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on matters including  
(but not limited to):

•  remuneration of Non-Executive Directors

•  remuneration of the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Other Executive KMP and other Senior Executives

•  at-risk remuneration policies, and guidelines for all Orora executives

•  talent management processes and programs – including succession planning for key leadership roles

•  initiatives to deliver sustainable business success

•  diversity across all Orora operations.

Through oversight of these matters, the Human Resources Committee ensures that Orora’s Senior Executives are motivated to  
pursue the long term growth and success of Orora and that there is a clear relationship between performance and remuneration.

Orora employs in-house remuneration professionals who provide data to the Human Resources Committee on remuneration matters. 
This may take into consideration market information from external providers. Where appropriate, the Human Resources Committee 
seeks advice from independent remuneration consultants in determining appropriate Senior Executive remuneration. During the 
financial year ended 30 June 2015, the Human Resources Committee did not receive any remuneration recommendations from 
independent remuneration consultants in relation to the KMP. 

Hedging of securities

Executive KMP and other Senior Executives are prohibited under the Share Trading Policy from engaging in hedging arrangements  
over unvested securities issued under employee share plans. This prohibition extends to vested securities held by Executive KMP  
and other Senior Executives to which the Minimum Shareholding Policy applies. Non-Executive Directors do not participate in Orora’s 
employee share plans.

2.4.2  MINIMUM SHAREHOLDING POLICY

To strengthen alignment of the interests of the Executive KMP and other Senior Executives with value creation for shareholders, they 
must build and maintain a minimum shareholding of Orora shares. The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer is required  
to build and maintain a shareholding equivalent to 100% of fixed annual remuneration within six years of appointment and Other 
Executive KMP and other Senior Executives are required to build and maintain a shareholding equivalent to 50% of base salary within 
six years of appointment.

Once the relevant minimum shareholding has been reached, the Executive KMP and other Senior Executives must not dispose of  
Orora shares obtained from awards under Orora’s equity based incentive schemes granted on or after 1 January 2014, where to  
do so would result in them holding less than the relevant minimum shareholding. Further details can be found within the Corporate 
Governance section on our website at: http://media.ororagroup.com/documents/orora_minimum_shareholding_policy.pdf.

2.4.3  SHARE TRADING POLICY

The Board has implemented blackout periods during which all Orora employees (including Executive KMP and other Senior Executives) 
and Non-Executive Directors are unable to trade in Orora shares. Further detail can be found within the Corporate Governance section 
on our website, at: http://media.ororagroup.com/documents/orora-share-trading-policy.pdf.

 Orora Limited Annual Report 20153.  OUTLINE OF REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS AT ORORA

3.1  OUTLINE OF REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR EXECUTIVE KMP

Orora remunerates the Executive KMP using a combination of fixed and variable plans, with a greater emphasis on variable 
performance-based plans. Performance measures are carefully selected to ensure alignment with business imperatives. An overview  
of these remuneration arrangements is included in Table 4.

Term

Cash to reward the achievement of Orora’s annual business objectives, and deferred performance rights to 
build equity ownership, align management incentives with shareholder value creation and act as a retention

one-third of the award following payment of the cash incentive.

Instrument

Cash and Performance Rights

Performance 
conditions(2)

•  5 – 10% Safety (target recordable case frequency rate)

•  25 – 95% Financial (which can include: earnings per share (EPS), earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), 
cash flow, average working capital (AWC) as a percentage of sales, return on average funds employed 
(RoAFE))

•  0 – 70% personal strategic measure.

In addition to the above performance conditions, the performance rights component of the STI is deferred for 
two years and is subject to continuation of employment by the Executive KMP (subject to forfeiture in the 
event of voluntary termination or termination for cause).

To incentivise continuous safety improvement, successful and sustainable financial business outcomes that 
drive long term business and sustainability.

Why these 
conditions 
were chosen

Reward the achievement of long term sustainable business outcomes and value creation for shareholders.

Performance 
conditions

RoAFE gate and EPS hurdle for one-third of Rights and all Options. Relative total shareholder return (TSR) for 
remaining two-thirds of Rights.

Why these 
conditions 
were chosen

The combination of RoAFE and EPS represents a strong measure of overall business performance. Having an 
exercise price for Options ensures that this performance translates into shareholder value creation as no 
Options are earned unless the share price increases. The use of a relative TSR condition for Rights provides  
a shareholder perspective of the Company’s relative performance against comparable Australian ASX-listed 
companies.

Time restricted and continuation of employment (subject to forfeiture in the event of voluntary termination

(1)  Consists of base salary, retirement and other benefits. Retirement benefits are delivered under defined contribution funds for all Executive KMP. These and other benefits 

are set by reference to regulatory and salary market requirements in the relevant employing jurisdictions.

(2)  STI performance conditions are assessed using both quantitative and qualitative assessments. All financial performance conditions were determined on a post significant 

items basis. The outcomes for Senior Executives are reviewed by the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer and are reviewed and approved by the Human 
Resources Committee. This approach provides appropriate oversight and a rigorous review of the performance outcomes.

3.2  FIXED REMUNERATION

Orora sets fixed remuneration for the Executive KMP by referencing the market median remuneration for similar roles in listed 
companies of similar size to Orora competing in comparable geographic locations. In setting fixed remuneration, Orora also considers 
responsibilities that extend beyond an Executive KMP’s own geographic location.

Fixed remuneration is set having regard to an individual’s responsibilities, performance, qualifications, skills and experience.  
The Company also considers business and individual performance, as well as the ability to retain key talent, when setting and  
adjusting this element of remuneration.

3.3  SHORT TERM INCENTIVE (STI)

The STI provides a reward to Executive KMP for meeting annual performance targets against a selected range of safety, financial and 
priority project goals. These are measured at the Orora Group level. The Board believes that the STI provides appropriately challenging 
and relevant targets for participants.

Two–thirds of any STI award is made annually in the form of a cash payment following the release of end of year results. One–third  
is deferred for a period of two years into time-based performance rights.

3.3.1  DETAILS OF STI DEFERRED PERFORMANCE RIGHTS AND AWARDS

The Board considers the use of time-restricted equity in the form of deferred performance rights to be a key component of Orora’s STI 
program. Orora uses deferred performance rights to provide for greater talent retention and alignment with shareholders’ interests 
through exposure to Orora’s share price movements.

The number of performance rights to be allocated under the STI to the Executive KMP is based on:

•  one-third of the total STI award payable following the end of the performance period

•  the volume-weighted average price of Orora shares for the five trading days prior to 30 June (the end of the performance period).

Each Executive KMP’s allocation is subject to a risk of forfeiture if that member of the Executive KMP either voluntarily leaves Orora’s 
employment during the restriction period, or if employment is terminated for cause. Board discretion regarding vesting and/or 
forfeiture applies in all cases when an Executive KMP leaves Orora’s employment.

(1)   The cash and deferred performance rights will be granted in September 2015 following the determination of the STI. Deferred performance rights allocations will be 

determined based on the volume-weighted average price of Orora shares for the five trading days prior to 30 June 2015 ($2.08 per share).

(2)  An ASX waiver from the requirement in Listing Rule 10.14 to obtain separate shareholder approval for the grant of deferred performance rights to N D Garrard under the 
STI was obtained at the time of Orora’s demerger from Amcor Ltd. The Company intends that where deferred performance rights vest under the STI, the right to acquire  
a share in respect of each deferred performance right will be satisfied by the Company arranging to acquire shares on behalf of N D Garrard on market, however the 
Company may instead issue new ordinary shares to N D Garrard. 

3.4  LONG TERM INCENTIVE (LTI)

Orora’s LTI component of the remuneration arrangements for Executive KMP  is set out below. A tranche is made up of two different 
incentive securities (Incentive Securities):

•  Performance Rights to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Rights)

•  Options over fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Options). 

Two performance hurdles overlay each tranche, consisting of:

•  Earnings per share (EPS) hurdle (based on the Company’s compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in EPS over the relevant 

Performance Period), with a separate minimum ‘gateway’ based on return on average funds employed (RoAFE)

•  Relative total shareholder return (TSR) hurdle which compares the TSR performance of the Company with the TSR performance  

of each of the entities in a comparator group, with no gateway.

The 2014 LTI offer to N D Garrard, granted in the financial year ended 30 June 2015, consisted of three separate tranches which 
accounted for two grants (2012 and 2013) forfeited under the Amcor Ltd Long Term Incentive Plan (as a result of the demerger),  
and one new Orora grant for 2014. Separate shareholder approval for this LTI grant to N D Garrard was obtained at the 2014 Orora 
Annual General Meeting.

results for FY16 (anticipated to be in

Following the release of the full year 
results for FY17 (anticipated to be in 
September 2017)(1)

Following the release of the full year  
results for FY18 (anticipated to be in 
September 2018)(1)

Incentive Securities which are subject to the EPS hurdle first need to meet a minimum RoAFE gateway in order to vest according to the 
EPS vesting schedule in Table 9.

RoAFE will be calculated as earnings before interest and tax (post significant items, subject to Board discretion) divided by the average 
funds employed in each financial year at the 30 June testing date.

The base starting point for this measure is 9.3%, being the pro forma RoAFE result as at 30 June 2014. The RoAFE gateway, using a 5% 
CAGR applicable to each tranche, is set out in Table 8:

If the RoAFE gateway for a tranche is not met in the relevant performance period set out above (Performance Period), all Incentive 
Securities in that tranche which are subject to the EPS hurdle will lapse.

If the RoAFE gateway for a tranche is met in the relevant Performance Period, the Incentive Securities which are subject to the EPS 
hurdle will vest in accordance with the EPS vesting schedule in Table 9.

47

 Orora Limited Annual Report 2015EPS hurdle

EPS measures the earnings generated by the Company attributable to each Orora share. EPS is calculated based on Net Profit After  
Tax (NPAT) post significant items calculated on a constant currency basis (subject to Board discretion) for the relevant financial year, 
divided by the weighted average number of Orora shares on issue.

The growth in the Company’s EPS over the relevant Performance Period will be calculated as the increase in EPS over the base of  
8.7 cents, being the pro forma EPS in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2014. The compound growth in EPS will be expressed 
as a cumulative percentage.

The percentage of Incentive Securities subject to the EPS hurdle which vest (subject to achievement of the RoAFE gateway) will be 
determined based on the performance achieved against the EPS vesting schedule set out in Table 9, subject to any adjustments for 
significant items that the Board, in its discretion, considers appropriate.

during the Performance Period against companies ranked 50 to 150 on the S&P index (as at 1 January 2014) (Comparator Group).

The share prices used to calculate the TSR of the Company and each Comparator Group company for the Performance Period will  
be measured as follows:

•  the opening share price is the volume weighted average price on the ASX of the Company or the applicable Comparator Group 

company for the first five trading days of the Performance Period, and

•  to ensure the impact of share price volatility is minimised, the closing price will be the volume weighted average price on the ASX  
of the Company or the applicable Comparator Group company for the 20 trading days ending on the last day of the Performance 
Period

The percentage of Rights subject to the TSR hurdle that vest in each tranche, if any, will be determined by reference to the percentile 
ranking achieved by Orora over the relevant Performance Periods compared to the other entities in the Comparator Group as outlined 
in Table 10.

5  EXECUTIVE KMP SERVICE AGREEMENTS

relating to the terms of the service agreements is set out in Table 14.

6  NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION

6.1  Fee policy

The Non-Executive Director fee policy enables the Company to attract and retain high-quality Directors with relevant experience.  
The fee policy is reviewed annually by the Human Resources Committee. The current Non-Executive Director aggregate fee limit is 
$1,600,000 as previously disclosed in the 2014 Annual Report.

Non-Executive Directors receive an annual fixed ‘base’ fee of $195,700 for their role as Board members, plus additional fees for 
members and chairs of Board Committees. The Chairman receives an annual fixed fee of $391,400, but does not receive additional  
fees for his involvement with Committees. A 3% increase was applied in the financial year ended 30 June 2015 to the fixed ‘base’ fees 
for Non-Executive Directors and the annual fixed fee for the Chairman.

Shareholders will be asked at the 2015 Annual General Meeting to approve the maximum aggregate amount out of which directors’ 
fees may be paid from $1,600,000 per annum to $1,900,000 per annum, as the remuneration payments are now approaching the 
maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders in 2013 as part of the Amcor demerger.  The Non-Executive Directors’ 
aggregate fee limit was set in 2013 at the time of the demerger from Amcor. While it is not intended to fully utilise the proposed 
increase in the immediate future, the purpose of this proposed increase is to allow additional capacity within the maximum fee  
limit to address factors such as:

•  to provide scope to accommodate any increase in the number of directors during a transition period for the purposes of Board 

succession planning;

•  to allow for future adjustments in Directors’ remuneration in line with market conditions; and

•  to ensure that Orora can continue to attract high calibre individuals as Non-Executive Directors in what is an increasingly demanding 

and onerous role. 

6.2  PERFORMANCE-BASED REMUNERATION AND MINIMUM SHAREHOLDING

Non-Executive Directors do not receive performance-based remuneration and are not granted equity instruments by Orora as part  
of their compensation. Non-Executive Directors are not subject to a minimum shareholding policy. This is consistent with the principles 
of independence and impartiality adopted by the Board.

Orora Limited Annual Report 2015 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30 JUNE 2015

SECTION 1:  
BASIS OF PREPARATION

Orora Limited (the Company) is a for-profit 
entity for the purposes of preparing this 
Financial Report and is domiciled in 
Australia. The Company and its 
subsidiaries (collectively referred to as 
the Group) are primarily involved in the 
manufacture and supply of packaging 
products and services to grocery, fast 
moving consumer goods and industrial 
markets.

This section sets out the basis of 
preparation and the Group accounting 
policies that relate to the consolidated 
financial statements as a whole. Where 
an accounting policy is specific to one 
note, the policy is described within the 
note to which it relates.

This Financial Report is a general purpose 
financial report which:

•  has been prepared in accordance  

with Australian Accounting Standards 
(AASBs), including Australian Accounting 
Interpretations adopted by the 
Australian Accounting Standards  
Board, and the Corporations Act 2001. 
The Financial Report of the Group also 
complies with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and 
Interpretations as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards 
Board (IASB);

•  has been prepared under the historical 

cost basis except for financial 
instruments and available-for-sale 
investments, which have been 
measured at fair value. Non-derivative 
financial instruments are measured at 
fair value through the income 
statement;

•  is presented in Australian dollars with 

values rounded to the nearest $100,000 
unless otherwise stated, in accordance 
with the Australian Securities and 
Investments Class Order 98/100;

•  presents reclassified comparative 
information where required for 

consistency with the current period 
presentation;

•  adopts all new and amended 
Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the AASB 
that are relevant to the operations of 
the Group and effective for reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 July 
2014. Refer to note 8.8.1 for further 
details;

•  does not early adopt any Accounting 

Standards and Interpretations that have 
been issued or amended but are not yet 
effective. Refer to note 8.8.2 for further 
details; and

•  has applied the Group accounting 
policies consistently to all periods 
presented, except as described in 
note 8.8.1.

The consolidated general purpose 
Financial Report for the Group for the year 
ended 30 June 2015 was authorised for 
issue in accordance with a resolution 
of the Directors on 26 August 2015. 
The Directors have the power to amend 
and reissue the Financial Report.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements 
comprise the financial statements of 
the Company and its controlled entities. 
Details of the controlled entities 
(subsidiaries) of the Company are 
contained in note 7.1.

The financial statements of subsidiaries 
are included in the consolidated financial 
statements from the date that the Group 
obtains control until the date that control 
ceases. The subsidiary financial statements 
are prepared for the same reporting 
period as the parent company, using 
consistent accounting policies and all 
balances and transactions between 
entities included within the Group are 
eliminated.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is 
accounted for using the acquisition 
method of accounting when control  
is obtained by the Group.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Items included in the financial statements 
of each of the entities included within the 
Group are measured using the currency of 
the economic environment in which the 
entity primarily generates and expends 
cash (the ‘functional currency’). 
These consolidated financial statements 
are presented in Australian dollars, which 
is the functional currency of the Company, 
Orora Limited.

Transactions in foreign currencies are 
initially recorded in the functional currency 
of the entity using the exchange rate 
prevailing at the date of the transaction. 
Monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies are 
translated at the rate of exchange ruling 
at the balance sheet date. Foreign 
exchange gains and losses arising from the 
translation of the monetary assets and 
liabilities, or from the settlement of 
foreign currency transactions, are 
recognised in the income statement, 
except when deferred in equity as 
qualifying cash flow hedges or net 
investment hedges. The amounts deferred 
in equity in respect of cash flow hedges 
are recognised in the income statement 
when the hedged item affects profit or 
loss and, for net investment hedges, when 
the investment is disposed of.

As at the reporting date, the assets and 
liabilities of entities within the Group that 
have a functional currency different from 
the presentation currency, are translated 
into Australian dollars at the rate of 
exchange at the balance sheet date and 
the income statements are translated at 
the average exchange rate for the year. 
The exchange differences arising on the 
retranslation are taken directly to a 
separate component of equity in the 
Exchange Fluctuation Reserve.

63

 Orora Limited Annual Report 2015CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS 
AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial 
statements requires management to 
exercise judgement and make estimates 
and assumptions in applying the Group’s 
accounting policies which impact the 
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, 
income and expenses. Judgements and 
estimates that are material to the Financial 
Report are as follows:

•  direct and indirect income tax, including 
utilisation of tax losses – refer note 3.5;

•  measurement of asset restoration and 

restructuring provisions – refer note 4.8;

•  testing for impairment of assets – refer 

note 6.3; and

•  measurement of fair value – refer 

note 6.2.

OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant and other accounting policies 
that summarise the measurement basis 
used and are relevant to an understanding 
of the financial statements are provided 
throughout the notes to the financial 
statements.

SECTION 1:  
BASIS OF PREPARATION 
(continued)

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The financial assets and liabilities of the 
Group, as presented in the statement of 
financial position, are classified into the 
following financial instrument categories 
in accordance with AASB 139 Financial 
Instruments – Recognition and 
Measurement:

•  ‘Loans and receivables’ – separately 

disclosed as cash and cash equivalents 
and trade and other receivables and are 
measured at amortised cost;

•  ‘Available-for-sale financial assets’ – 

separately disclosed in other financial 
assets as an available-for-sale financial 
instrument and measured at fair value 
through other comprehensive income;

•  ‘Financial instruments at fair value 
through profit or loss’ – separately 
disclosed in other financial assets or 
other financial liabilities as a derivative 
financial instrument and measured at 
fair value through profit or loss; and

•  ‘Financial liabilities measured at 

amortised cost’ – separately disclosed 
as trade and other payables and 
interest-bearing liabilities.

Judgement is required when determining 
the appropriate classification of the 
Group’s financial instruments. Details 
on the accounting policies for the 
measurement of the above instruments 
are set out in the relevant notes.

The Group recognises a financial asset or 
liability when it becomes a party to the 
contract. Financial instruments are no 
longer recognised in the statement of 
financial position when the contractual 
rights to receive cash flows from the 
instrument expire or when the Group no 
longer retains control of substantially all 
the risks and rewards under the 
instrument.

SECTION 2: SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)

2.2 UNDERSTANDING THE SEGMENT RESULTS

The Group’s operating segments are organised and managed according to their geographical location. Each segment represents a 
strategic business that offers different products and operates in different industries and markets. The Corporate Executive Team 
(the chief operating decision-makers) monitor the operating results of the businesses separately for the purpose of making decisions 
about resource allocation and performance assessment.

Segment performance is evaluated based on earnings before interest and related income tax expense (EBIT). This measure excludes the 
effects of individually significant non-recurring gains/losses whilst including items directly attributable to the segment as well as those 
that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

Interest income and expenditure and other finance costs are not allocated to the segments, as this type of activity is managed on a 
Group basis. Transfer prices between segments are priced on an ‘arms-length’ basis, in a manner similar to transactions with third 
parties, and are eliminated on consolidation.

The following summary describes the operations of each reportable segment.

Orora Australasia

This segment focuses on the manufacture of fibre and beverage packaging products within Australia and New Zealand. The products 
manufactured by this segment include glass bottles, beverage cans, wines closures, corrugated boxes, cartons and sacks and the 
manufacture of recycled paper.

Orora North America

This segment, predominantly located in North America, purchases, warehouses, sells and delivers a wide range of packaging and other 
related materials. The business also includes integrated corrugated sheet and box manufacturing and equipment sales capabilities.

Other

This segment includes the Corporate function of the Group.

The following tables reconcile the financial information provided to the Corporate Executive Team to the statutory results of the Group.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and selecting the appropriate timing and amount  
of revenue recognised requires some judgement.

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer and it can be reliably measured. 
Risk and rewards are considered passed to the customer at the time of delivery of the goods. Revenue from the sale of products 
is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns allowances and discounts. No revenue is 
recognised if: there is a risk of return of goods; there is continuing managerial involvement with the goods; there are significant 
uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due; or the costs incurred or to be incurred cannot be measured reliably.

Dividends

Dividend income is recognised on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

Rendering of services

With respect to services rendered, revenue is recognised in the period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts 
revenue is recognised depending on the stage of completion of the service to be provided.

Finance income

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues to the related financial asset. Interest is determined using the effective interest rate 
method, which applies the interest rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial 
instrument.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS30 JUNE 2015Orora Limited Annual Report 2015Recognition and measurement

Employee benefits expense

The Group’s accounting policy for liabilities associated with employee benefits is contained in note 4.8. Refer to note 8.1 for the 
accounting policy relating to share-based payments.

Operating leases

The Group leases motor vehicles, plant and equipment and property that are classified as operating leases. The leases generally 
provide the Group with a right of renewal at which time all terms are renegotiated. Payments made under operating leases are 
recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, while any material lease incentive is  
recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Refer to note 8.2 for future lease commitments.

Depreciation and amortisation expense

Refer to notes 4.6 and 4.7 for the Group’s accounting policy and details on depreciation and amortisation.

Impairment

Impairment expenses are recognised to the extent that the carrying amount of assets exceed their recoverable amount.  
Refer to note 6.3 for further details on impairments recognised on non-financial assets.

Finance expense

Finance expense comprises interest expense on borrowings, amortisation of discounts or premiums related to borrowings, 
amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and the unwinding discount on  
provision balances. Interest expense on borrowings is recognised as they accrue using the effective interest rate method.

Financing expenses are brought to account in determining profit for the period, except to the extent the expenses are directly 
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Such financing costs are capitalised as part of  
the cost of the asset up to the time it is ready for its intended use and are then amortised over the expected useful economic life.

71

 Orora Limited Annual Report 2015SECTION 3: RESULTS FOR THE YEAR (continued)

3.3 SIGNIFICANT ITEMS

Significant items are large, non-recurring gains or losses that are excluded from management’s assessment of profit because by their 
nature they could distort the Group’s underlying quality of earnings. They are typically gains or losses arising from events that are not 
considered part of the core operations of the business. These items are excluded to reflect performance in a consistent manner and  
are in line with how the business is managed and measured on a day-to-day basis.

Significant income items are included in ‘other income’, whilst significant expenditure items are included within ‘general and 
administration’ expense in the income statement.

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it 
relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised directly in equity or in 
other comprehensive income respectively.

Current tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the 
reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods. Current tax is also adjusted by changes in deferred tax 
assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in 
the consolidated financial statements, and by the availability of unused tax losses.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net 
basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method in which temporary differences are calculated based on the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not 
recognised for:

•  taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill;

•  taxable differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects 

neither accounting nor taxable profit; and

•  temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal 

of the temporary difference and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied when the temporary difference reverses, that is, when the 
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only to the extent that it is probable that 
future taxable profits will be available against which the assets can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date 
and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS30 JUNE 2015Orora Limited Annual Report 2015 
Offsetting deferred tax balances

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset and when the deferred tax balances relate 
to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but the Group intends to settle current 
tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

Critical accounting judgement and estimate

The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and foreign jurisdictions and as a result significant judgement is required in 
determining the Group’s provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations relating to the ordinary course of 
business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on 
management’s best estimate of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the 
amounts that were initially recorded, these differences impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such 
determinations is made.

The assumptions regarding future realisation, and therefore the recognition of deferred tax assets, may change due to future operating 
performance and other factors.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax liabilities have not been recognised in respect of temporary differences arising as a result of the translation of the financial 
statements of the Group investments in subsidiaries. The deferred tax liability will only arise in the event of disposal of the subsidiary, 
and no such disposal is expected in the foreseeable future.

Unremitted earnings of the Group’s international operations are considered to be reinvested indefinitely and relate to the ongoing 
operations. Upon distribution of any earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Group may be subject to withholding taxes 
payable to various foreign countries; however, such amounts are not considered to be significant. As the Group controls when the 
deferred tax liability will be incurred and is satisfied that it will not be incurred in the foreseeable future, the deferred tax liability has 
not been recognised. There are no unrecognised deferred tax assets.

(1)  These amounts generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the Group. Interest may be charged at commercial rates where the 

terms of repayment exceed six months. Collateral is not normally obtained.

Recognition and measurement

Trade receivables and loans and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. Trade and other receivables are presented as current assets, 
except for those where collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as 
non-current assets.

The carrying value of trade and other receivables, less impairment provisions, is considered to approximate fair value, due to the 
short-term nature of the receivables.

Impairment of trade receivables

The collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Individual debts which are known to be uncollectable 
are written off when identified. An impairment provision is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Group will be unable 
to collect amounts due, according to the original terms of the receivables. Financial difficulty of the debtor, default in payments and the 
probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy are considered indicators that a trade receivable is impaired. Where it is considered 
unlikely that the full amount of the receivable will be collected, a provision is raised for the amount that is doubtful.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement within ‘general and administration’ expense. When a trade 
receivable, for which an impairment provision had been recognised, becomes uncollectable, it is written off against the impairment 
provision. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against ‘general and administration’ expense.

Loans and other receivables

Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and are measured at their amortised cost using the 
effective interest rate method and are usually interest-bearing. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities 
greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Refer note 4.4.

In assessing an appropriate provision for impairments of receivables consideration is given to historical experience of bad debts, 
the ageing of receivables, knowledge of debtor insolvency or other credit risk and individual account assessment.

Customer credit risk is managed by each business group in accordance with the procedures and controls set out in the Group’s credit 
risk management policy. Credit limits are established for all customers based on external and internal credit rating criteria and letters 
of credit or other forms of credit insurance cover are obtained where appropriate. In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are 
grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are an individual or a legal entity, whether they are a 
wholesale, retail or end-user customer, their geographic location, industry and existence of previous financial difficulties.

For some trade receivables the Group may also obtain security in the form of guarantees, deeds of undertaking or letters of credit 
which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement. The Group does not otherwise require 
collateral in respect of trade and other receivables.

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other 
receivables. The ageing of trade receivables, according to their due date, is as follows:

$ million

Not past due

As at 30 June 2015, current trade receivables of the Group with a nominal value of $2.4 million (2014: $6.8 million) were impaired. 
The amount of the provision was $2.4 million (2014: $6.8 million). The individually impaired receivables relate to transactions which 
have been disputed by customers, or receivables owing from customers experiencing financial difficulties. In some cases it has been 
assessed that a portion of the receivables is expected to be recovered.

The Group has recognised a net loss of $2.2 million (2014: $6.2 million) in respect of impaired trade receivables during the financial 
year ended 30 June 2015. The loss has been included in ‘general and administration’ expense in the income statement.

As at 30 June 2015, current trade receivables of $126.8 million (2014: $121.3 million) were past due but not impaired. These relate  
to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary 
course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its existing location and condition are accounted for as follows. Cost may also include 
transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of inventory:

•  Raw materials – purchase cost on a weighted average cost formula

•  Manufactured finished goods and work in progress – cost of direct material and labour and an appropriate proportion of production 

and variable overheads incurred in the normal course of business.

During the period the Group recognised a net write-down of $1.4 million (2014: $7.9 million) with regard to the net realisable value of 
inventories which has been recognised in ‘cost of sales’ expense in the income statement. In the comparative period the $7.9 million 
write-down included $7.6 million engineering spares relating to the Fibre Cash Generating Unit (CGU) impairment assessment 
(refer note 7.2) which was included in ‘general and administration’ expense in the income statement, while the remaining $0.3 million 
recognised in ‘cost of sales’ expense.

The carrying value of loans and other receivables is considered to approximate fair value. As at 30 June 2014, the fair value of the 
available-for-sale financial instrument, which represented investments in companies listed on stock exchanges, was $9.1 million  
and was determined by reference to quoted share prices in an active market (classified as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy).

Recognition and measurement

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value on the date the instrument is entered into. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, derivative financial instruments are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The gain or loss on 
remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in the income statement unless the derivative is designated and is effective as a 
hedging instrument, in which event, the timing and the recognition of profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship. 
Refer to note 6.2 for further details pertaining to derivative financial instruments.

Investments in equity securities

Investments in listed equity securities are available-for-sale financial assets and are included in non-current assets. Investments in listed 
equity securities are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently carried at fair value. The fair value of 
the investment is based on last quoted price. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in other 
comprehensive income and accumulated in the available-for-sale reserve. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or 
impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments within equity are reclassified to the income statement.

Loans and other receivables

Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and are measured at their amortised cost using the 
effective interest rate method and are usually interest-bearing. They are included in non-current assets when the maturity is greater 
than 12 months after the reporting date.

At 30 June 2015, no property, plant and equipment was provided as security for any interest-bearing borrowings (2014: nil).

Recognition and measurement

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is 
directly attributable to the acquisition of the item including borrowing costs that are related to the acquisition, construction or 
production of an asset. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign 
currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount, or recognised as a separate asset, only when it is probable that future 
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income 
statement during the financial year in which they are incurred.

82

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS30 JUNE 2015Orora Limited Annual Report 2015 
Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, excluding freehold land, is depreciated at rates based upon the expected useful lives, or in the case of 
leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment the lease term, using the straight-line method. Land is not 
depreciated. Depreciation rates used for each class of asset for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

•  Buildings between 1% – 5%

•  Land improvements between 1% – 3%

•  Plant and equipment between 2.5% – 25%

Depreciation methods, residual values and useful lives are reassessed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised when it is sold or otherwise disposed of, or when its use is not expected to 
bring any future economic benefits. Any gains or loss on disposal, determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount of the 
disposed asset, are included in the income statement in the period the disposal occurs and are recognised net within ‘other income’ in 
the income statement (refer note 3.1).

Impairment

Refer to note 6.3 for details on impairment testing.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost. Cost is measured as the cost of the amount the Group has 
paid in acquiring a business over and above the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill is not amortised, 
instead goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be 
impaired, and is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the purpose of impairment testing as follows. The allocation is made to those 
cash generating units or groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the 
goodwill arose.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include computer software, customer relationships and software licences. The cost of these assets is the 
amount that the Group has paid or, where there has been a business combination, their fair value at the date of acquisition.

Internal spend on computer software is only capitalised within the development phase and only when the asset is separate and  
it is probably that future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Group.

Following initial recognition, other intangible assets are carried at cost less amortisation and any impairment losses. Other intangible 
assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful life and tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that  
they may be impaired. The amortisation period and method is reviewed at each financial year. Computer software and licences are 
amortised over a period of between three to ten years whilst customer relationships are amortised over a period of up to 20 years.

The Group does not hold any indefinite life other intangible assets.

•  the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

•  it is probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

•  a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation  
at the reporting date. The present value of a provision is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate 
that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

Employee entitlements

The provision for employee entitlements represents the obligation for annual leave, long service leave entitlements and incentives 
accrued by employees.

Liabilities for employee benefits such as wages, salaries and other current employee entitlements represent present obligations  
arising from employees’ services provided to the reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration 
wage and salary rates, including related on-costs, such as workers’ compensation insurance and payroll tax and are presented in other 
payables.

The liability for annual leave and long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee entitlements. It is measured as the 
present value of estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of services provided by the employee up to the reporting date. 
Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and period of service. Expected 
future payments that are not expected to be settled within 12 months are discounted using market yields at the reporting date of high 
quality corporate bonds. The rates used reflect the terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated 
future cash outflows.

86

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS30 JUNE 2015Orora Limited Annual Report 2015 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Workers’ compensation, insurance and other claims

Insurance and other claims include provisions for workers’ compensation, insurance and other claims. The Group self-insures for 
various risks including risks associated with workers’ compensation. Provisions are recognised for claims received and expected to be 
received in relation to incidents occurring prior to reporting date and are measured based upon historical claim rates.

Estimated net future cash flows are based on the assumption that all claims will be settled and the weighted average cost of historical 
claims adjusted for inflation will continue to approximate future costs.

Asset restoration

The Group is required to restore leased premises to their original condition at the end of the respective lease term, typically relating to 
excessive wear and tear or alternations that have been made to the lease property to accommodate the operations of the business.

Where the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to restore a site on which an asset is located either through make-good 
provisions included in lease agreements or decommissioning of environmental risks, the present value of the estimated costs of 
dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site is recognised as a provision with a corresponding increase in the related item 
of property, plant and equipment.

At each reporting date, the liability is remeasured in line with changes in discount rates, estimated cash flows and the timing of those 
cash flows. Any changes in the liability are added to or deducted from the related asset, other than the unwinding of the discount, 
which is recognised as a financing cost in the income statement.

Restructuring

The restructuring provision primarily relates to cost reduction and reorganisation activities associated with the Australasia operations.

A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has a detailed formal restructuring plan and the restructuring has either 
commenced or has been publicly announced, including discussions with affected personnel, with employee-related costs recognised 
over the period of any required further service. Future operating costs in relation to the restructuring are not provided for. Payments 
falling due greater than 12 months after reporting date are discounted to present value.

Critical accounting judgement and estimate

The determination of provisions for asset restoration and restructuring involves the use of judgements and estimates as to the timing 
and measurement of future cash outflows.

Asset restoration provisions require assessments to be made of lease make-good conditions and decommissioning and environmental 
risks. The provisions also require estimates to be made of costs to dismantle and remove equipment and to restore the site to the 
condition required under the terms of the lease and required by environmental laws and regulations.

Restructuring provisions require assessments to be made regarding the timing of recognition, specifically are plans sufficiently detailed, 
approved and communicated to support recognition at a point in time. The provisions also require estimates to be made of the cost of 
restructuring and the timing of these cash outflows.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions used in the booking of asset restoration and restructuring provisions are management’s 
best estimates based on current and forecast operating and market conditions.

 Orora Limited Annual Report 2015SECTION 5: CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND FINANCING

This section outlines how the Group manages its capital structure and related financing, including its balance sheet liquidity and access 
to capital markets.

5.1 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Capital is defined as the combination of shareholders’ equity, reserves and net debt. The key objective of the Group when managing its 
capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that the Group can continue to provide returns for shareholders and 
benefits for other stakeholders, and maintain an optimal capital and funding structure that optimises the cost of capital available to the 
Group over the long term.

The Board determines the appropriate capital structure of the Group, specifically, how much is raised from shareholders (equity) 
and how much is borrowed from financial institutions (debt) in order to finance the Group’s activities both now and in the future. 
The Directors consider the Group’s capital structure and dividend policy at least twice a year ahead of announcing results and do  
so in the context of its ability to continue as a going concern and to execute the strategy and deliver the business plan of the Group.

In order to optimise the capital structure, the Group may:

•  adjust the amount of ordinary dividends paid to shareholders;

•  maintain a dividend investment plan;

•  raise or return capital to shareholders;

•  raise or repay debt for working capital and capital expenditure requirements, or to facilitate acquisitions in line with the strategic 

objectives and operating plans of the Group.

The purpose of the Group’s capital management framework is to maintain a credit profile, and the requisite financial metrics, to secure 
access to alternate funding sources with a spread of maturity dates and sufficient undrawn committed facility capacity; and optimise, 
over the long term and to the extent practicable, the weighted average cost of capital to reduce the cost of capital to the Group while 
maintaining financial flexibility.

The Group uses a range of financial metrics to monitor the efficiency of its capital structure, including on-balance sheet gearing and 
leverage ratios, and ensure that its capital structure provides sufficient financial strength to allow it to secure access to debt finance at 
reasonable cost. At 30 June 2015, the Group’s on-balance sheet gearing and leverage ratios were 29.6% (2014: 31.5%) and 1.9 times 
(2014: 2.2 times), respectively.

(1) Estimated final dividend payable, subject to variations in the number of shares up to record date.

Franking Account

Franking credits available to shareholders of the Company are nil (2014: nil) at the 30.0% (2014: 30.0%) corporate tax rate. The final 
dividend for 2015 is 30.0% franked, and the Company is of the opinion that sufficient franking credits will arise from tax instalments 
expected to be paid in the year ending 30 June 2016.

Conduit Foreign Income Account

For Australian tax purposes non-resident shareholder dividends will not be subject to Australian withholding tax to the extent that  
they are franked or sourced from the parent entity’s Conduit Foreign Income Account. For the 2015 dividend, 70.0% of the dividend  
to non-residents is sourced from the parent entity’s Conduit Foreign Income Account (2015: interim dividend 100%, 2014: interim  
and final dividend nil). As a result, 100% of the 2015 interim and final dividend paid to a non-resident will not be subject to Australian 
withholding tax.

Dividend reinvestment plan

The Group operates a dividend reinvestment plan which allows eligible shareholders to elect to invest dividends in ordinary shares. 
All holders of Orora Limited ordinary shares with Australian or New Zealand addresses registered with the share registry are eligible  
to participate in the plan. The allocation price for shares is based on the average of the daily volume weighted average price of Orora 
Limited ordinary shares sold on the Australian Securities Exchange, calculated with reference to a period of not less than ten 
consecutive trading days as determined by the Directors.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or the exercise of options are 
recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit effects. The Company does not have authorised capital or 
par value in respect of its issued shares. All issued shares are fully paid, all shares rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual 
assets. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends, as declared from time to time, and are entitled to one vote per 
share at meetings of the Company.

Treasury shares

Where the Orora Employee Share Trust purchases equity instruments in the Company that have been identified as treasury shares, 
the consideration paid, including any directly attributable costs is deducted from equity, net of any related income tax effects. When 
the treasury shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable costs and the related 
income tax effects, is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented in retained 
earnings. Refer to note 7.1.1 for further information on the Orora Employee Share Trust.

Changes in the fair value of investments, such as equities and available-for-sale financial assets, are taken to the revaluation reserve. 
Amounts are recognised in the income statement when the associated asset is disposed of or impaired.

Cash flow hedge reserve

The cash flow hedge reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging 
instruments related to hedged transactions that have not yet occurred.

Share‑based payment reserve

The share-based payment reserve is used to recognise the fair value of options and rights recognised as an expense. The Company 
provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby 
employees render services in exchange for options or rights over shares. Refer to note 8.1 for further details of the Groups’  
share-based payment plans.

The fair value of options and rights granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense in the income statement with a 
corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve in equity and is spread over the vesting period during which the 
employees become unconditionally entitled to the option or right. Upon exercise of the options or rights, the balance of the 
share-based payments reserve, relating to the option or right, is transferred to share capital.

Demerger reserve

The demerger reserve represents the difference between the consideration paid by Orora under the internal corporate restructure  
and the assets and liabilities acquired, which were recognised at their carrying value under a common control transaction. Further 
information in respect of the demerger is disclosed in note 7.2.

Exchange fluctuation reserve

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign controlled operations are taken to the exchange fluctuation reserve. Gains or 
losses accumulated in equity are recognised in the income statement when a foreign operation is disposed of.

5.5 RETAINED EARNINGS

Retained earnings comprises profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company and other items recognised directly in equity  
as presented on the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company for the reporting period, by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the reporting period excluding ordinary shares purchased by the Group 
and held as treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted EPS reflects any commitments the Group has to issue shares in the future. The diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the basic 
EPS for the effect of conversion to ordinary shares associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options 
and rights granted to employees. To calculate the impact it is assumed that all share options and rights are exercised and new shares 
are issued.

Calculation of EPS

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share has been based on the following profit attributable to ordinary shareholders:

At 30 June 2015, the Group had access to a $1,000.0 million revolving multicurrency facility through a syndicate of domestic and 
international financial institutions. The facility is made up of two tranches with Tranche A, being a $500.0 million facility maturing in 
December 2016 and Tranche B, a $500.0 million facility maturing in December 2018. The facility is unsecured and can be extended.

Subsequent to the end of the current reporting period, on 17 July 2015, the Group announced that it had successfully completed  
the US private placement of notes issued by its wholly-owned US subsidiary, raising USD250.0 million through the issuance of notes 
with eight and ten year maturities. As a result, Tranche A of the revolving multicurrency facility has been reduced to $350.0 million 
maturing in December 2016, whilst Tranche B has been reduced to $400.0 million maturing in December 2018.

During both the current and comparative reporting period Orora Limited has complied with the financial covenants of its borrowing 
facilities.

Recognition and measurement

Cash at bank and on deposit

Cash and short-term deposits comprise cash at bank and on hand, and short-term money market investments with an original maturity 
of three months or less. Cash at bank earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposits. Short-term deposits are made 
for varying periods, depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short-term 
deposit rates.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is considered to approximate fair value.

Bank overdrafts and loans

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, less directly attributable transaction 
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing liabilities are measured at amortised cost with any difference between the net 
proceeds and the maturity amount recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest 
rate method.

Interest-bearing liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. 
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the 
consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

Interest-bearing liabilities are classified as current liabilities, except for those liabilities where the Group has an unconditional right to 
defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period which are classified as non-current liabilities.

For all borrowings, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amount since the interest payable on those borrowings  
is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short-term nature.

SECTION 6: RISK

6.1 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s overall financial risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise 
potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance as set out in the table below:

Risk

Exposure arising from

Management

Market risk – foreign currency

Future commercial transactions

Forward foreign exchange contracts

Recognised financial assets and liabilities 
not denominated in AUD

Market risk – interest rate

Short and long-term borrowings  
at variable rates

Market risk – commodity price risk

Purchase of raw materials

Market risk – employee share plan risk

Credit risk

Liquidity risk

Changes in the share price of the 
Company

Cash and cash equivalents, trade 
receivables, derivative financial 
instruments

Borrowings and other liabilities

Loans drawn in foreign currency by 
foreign entities to create natural hedge  
of foreign currency assets and liabilities

Interest rate swaps

Contractually passed through to 
customers, where possible

Purchase of Treasury Shares held  
by Orora Employee Share Trust

Credit limits, retention of title over goods 
sold, letters of credit

Availability of committed credit lines and 
borrowing facilities

Financial risk management is carried out by Orora Group Treasury under policies that have been approved by the Board for managing 
each of the above risks including principles and procedures with respect to risk tolerance, delegated levels of authority on the type and 
use of financial instruments and the reporting of these exposures. The Treasury function reports regularly to the Audit & Compliance 
Committee and treasury procedures are subject to periodic reviews.

In accordance with Board approved policies the Group typically uses derivative financial instruments to hedge underlying exposures 
arising from the Group’s operational activities relating to: changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency commercial 
transactions (transaction risk); translation of balance sheet items of foreign subsidiaries (translation risk); exposure to changes  
in commodity prices; changes in interest rates on net borrowings and changes in the Company’s share price.

6.1.1 Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is therefore exposed to currency risk arising from movements in foreign currency rates, 
primarily with respect to the US dollar and NZ dollar. The foreign exchange risk arises from:

•  differences in the dates foreign currency commercial transactions are entered into and the date they are settled (transaction risk);

•  recognised monetary assets and liabilities held in a non-functional currency and net investments in foreign operations 

(translation risk).

To manage foreign currency transaction risk the Group’s policy is to hedge material foreign currency denominated expenditure at  
the time of commitment and to hedge a proportion of foreign currency denominated forecasted exposures (mainly relating to export 
sales and the purchase of inventory) on a rolling 18 month basis, using either a natural hedge where one exists, or through the use  
of forward foreign exchange contracts taken out for up to two years from the forecast date.

In respect of translation risk, the Group’s borrowings are generally denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated  
by the underlying operations of the Group, which are primarily Australian and US dollars. Interest payable on those borrowings is 
denominated in the currency of the borrowing. This provides a natural economic hedge in respect of the US operations without 
requiring derivatives to be entered into.

6.1 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

6.1.1 Market risk (continued)

Foreign exchange risk (continued)

The Group’s investments in its US subsidiaries is hedged by a US dollar denominated unsecured bank loan (carrying amount of the 
assets is USD259.4 million) which mitigates the foreign currency translation risk arising from the subsidiaries’ net assets. The fair  
value of the borrowing at 30 June 2015 was USD249.3 million.

Amounts recognised in profit or loss and other comprehensive income

During the year, the Group recognised a foreign currency loss of $3.6 million (2014: loss $0.9 million) and a gain of $1.0 million 
(2014: loss $1.1 million) relating to foreign currency derivatives, that did not qualify as hedges, within general and administrative 
expenses in the income statement. In addition, a gain of $4.8 million (2014: $3.8 million loss) relating to cash flow hedges and a 
$16.3 million gain (2014: $13.0 million gain) on the translation of foreign operations was recognised in other comprehensive income, 
whilst a $2.7 million gain (2014: nil) relating to cash flow hedges was transferred from equity to operating profit.

98

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS30 JUNE 2015Orora Limited Annual Report 2015Sensitivity

The following sensitivity illustrates how a change in the US dollar and NZ dollar would impact the fair value of the derivative financial 
instruments held for future commercial transactions as at 30 June 2015:

•  if the Australian dollar had weakened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, equity would have been 

$3.3 million higher (2014: $2.7 million higher).

•  if the Australian dollar had weakened by 10% against the NZ dollar with all other variables held constant, equity would have been 

$10.1 million lower (2014: $5.5 million lower).

Interest rate risk

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest 
rate risk. The Group’s Treasury risk management policy is to maintain an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings, 
monitoring global interest rates and, where appropriate, hedging floating interest rate exposures or borrowings at fixed interest rates 
through the use of interest rate swaps and forward interest rate contracts.

The Group’s policy is to hold up to 85.0% fixed rate debt. At 30 June 2015, approximately 45.0% (2014: 45.0%) of the Group’s debt is 
fixed rate.

Exposure

The Group had the following variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap contracts outstanding at 30 June:

All of the Group’s interest rate swaps are classified as cash flow hedges so any movement in the fair value is recognised directly in 
equity. The amounts accumulated in equity are transferred to the income statement in the period in which the hedged item affects 
profit or loss. During the period $7.9 million loss (2014: $2.1 million loss) was recognised directly in equity in relation to interest 
rate swaps.

Sensitivity

At 30 June 2015, if Australian and US interest rates had increased by 1.0%, post-tax profit for the year would have been $3.8 million 
lower (2014: $7.0 million lower). If Australian dollar interest rates had decreased by 1.0%, post-tax profit for the year would have been 
$0.5 million higher (2014: $4.4 million higher). US dollar debts have been excluded from the sensitivity for interest rate decreases as 
rates are already below 1.0%.

Employee Share Plan risk

The Group is exposed to movements in the value of ordinary shares of Orora Limited in respect of the obligations under the Group’s 
Employee Share Plans (refer note 8.1). To mitigate this risk the Group has established the Orora Employee Share Trust (the Trust) to 
manage and administer the Group’s responsibilities under the Employee Share Plans through the acquiring, holding and transferring  
of shares, or rights to shares, in the Company to participating employees.

As at 30 June 2015, the Trust held 6,460,678 Treasury Shares in the Company (2014: nil) and 932,132 allocated shares in respect of  
the CEO Grant (2014: 2,083,312). Refer to note 7.1.1 for further details.

SECTION 6: RISK (continued)

6.1 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

6.1.1 Market risk (continued)

Commodity price risk

The Group is exposed to commodity price risk arising from the purchase of aluminium. In managing commodity price risk the Group  
is able to pass on the price risk contractually to customers through rise and fall adjustments. In the case of aluminium some hedging  
is undertaken using fixed price swaps on behalf of certain customers. Hedging undertaken is upon customer instruction and all related 
benefits and costs are passed through onto the customer on maturity of the transaction.

The movements in commodity hedges are recognised in equity and the cumulative amount of the hedge is recognised in the income 
statement when the forecast transaction is realised. There is no impact on profit as a result of movements in commodity prices where 
hedges have been put in place as the Group passes the price risk contractually through to customers. As the Group ultimately passes 
on the movement risk associated with commodity prices to customers, no sensitivity has been performed.

6.1.2 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s financing policy is 
to fund itself for the long term by using debt instruments with a range of maturities and to ensure access to appropriate short-term 
facilities. Orora Group Treasury aims to maintain flexibility within the funding structure through the use of bank overdrafts and 
bank loans.

Management monitors liquidity risk through maintaining minimum undrawn committed liquidity of at least $175.0 million that can be 
drawn upon at short notice and regularly monitoring rolling forecasts of cash inflows and outflows in relation to the Group’s activities. 
This monitoring includes financial ratios to assess possible future credit ratings and headroom and takes into account the accessibility 
of cash and cash equivalents.

SECTION 6: RISK (continued)

6.1 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

6.1.3 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual 
obligations. It arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers, cash and cash equivalents and in-the-money derivatives. 
There is also credit risk relating to the Group’s own credit rating as this impacts the availability and cost of future finance.

The Group manages credit risk through the maintenance of procedures such as the utilisation of systems of approval, granting and 
renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such credit limits and assessing the overall financial stability and 
competitive strength of the counterparty on an ongoing basis.

Trade and other receivables

Credit risk exposures related to trade and other receivables are discussed in note 4.1.

Cash and cash equivalents and derivatives

Credit risk related to balances with banks and financial institutions are managed by Orora Group Treasury in accordance with Group 
policy. The policy only allows financial derivative instruments to be entered into with high credit quality financial institutions with a 
minimum long-term credit rating of A– or better by Standard & Poor’s. In addition the Board has approved the use of these financial 
institutions, and specific internal guidelines have been established with regards to limits, dealing and settlement procedures.

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting period, excluding the value of 
any security held, is equivalent to the carrying amount and classification of the financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in 
the statement of financial position.

Guarantees

The Group’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only to certain parties securing the liabilities of subsidiaries, and are only provided 
in exceptional circumstances (refer note 8.2).

6.2 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group holds the following types of derivative financial instruments:

•  Forward exchange contracts – contracts are denominated in US dollar, Euro and NZ dollar to hedge highly probably sale and  

purchase transactions.

•  Forward commodity contracts – on behalf of customers, aluminium hedging is undertaken using fixed price swaps. The Group 
passes on the price risk of commodity’s contractually through to customers, including any benefits and costs relating to swaps  
upon their maturity.

•  Interest rate swaps – swaps are entered into to optimise the Group’s exposure to fixed and floating interest rates arising from 

borrowings. These hedges incorporate cash flow hedges, which fix future interest payments, and fair value hedges, which reduce  
the Group’s exposure to changes in the value of its assets and liabilities arising from interest rate movements.

•  Cross-currency interest rate swaps – swaps are entered into to both reduce the Group’s exposure to exchange rate variability in its

SECTION 6: RISK (continued)

6.2 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

As at 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014, the Group only held derivative financial instruments whose fair values were measured in 
accordance with Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative financial instruments are only undertaken if they relate to underlying 
exposures, the Group does not use derivatives to speculate.

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 for recurring fair value measurements during the year. The Group does not hold  
any Level 3 derivative financial instruments.

Recognition and measurement

Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value on the date the instrument is entered into and are subsequently 
remeasured at fair value or ‘marked to market’ at each reporting date. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised 
immediately in the income statement unless the derivative is designated, and is effective, as a hedging instrument.

Hedge accounting

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group formally designates the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged 
items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also documents  
its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions 
have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:

•  fair value hedges – hedges of the exposure to fair value changes in recognised assets or liabilities or firm commitments;

•  cash flow hedges – hedges of the exposure to variability in cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability or highly probable 

forecast transaction; or

•  net investment hedges – hedges of net investments in foreign operations.

Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

Fair value hedge

For fair value hedges the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognised in the income statement, together with the changes 
in fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk.

The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps, hedging fixed rate borrowings, is recognised in the income 
statement within ‘finance costs’, together with changes in the fair value of the hedged fixed rate borrowings attributable to interest 
rate risk. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement within ‘other income’ or ‘general  
and administration expenses’.

If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which  
the effective interest method is used, is amortised to the income statement over the period to maturity using a recalculated effective 
interest rate.

Cash flow hedge

Where a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the variability in cash flows of a recognised asset or liability, or a 
highly probable forecast transaction, the effective part of any gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is recognised in other 
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity in the hedging reserve. The change in the fair value that is identified as ineffective  
is recognised immediately in the income statement within ‘other income’ or ‘general and administration expenses’.

Amounts accumulated in equity are transferred to the income statement in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss 
(for instance, when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place). However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the 
recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory), the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from 
equity and included in the measurement of the initial cost or carrying amount of the asset.

104

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS30 JUNE 2015Orora Limited Annual Report 2015When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge 
accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction 
is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or 
loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement.

Net investment hedge

On consolidation, foreign currency differences arising on the translation of financial assets and liabilities designated as net investment 
hedges of a foreign operation are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign exchange reserve, to the 
extent that the hedge is effective. Any ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement.

Upon disposal of the foreign operation, which is subject to the net investment hedge, the cumulative amount that has been recognised 
in equity in relation to the hedged net investment is transferred to the income statement and recognised as part of the gain or loss 
on disposal.

Fair value measurement

Derivative financial instruments are recognised and measured at fair value in the financial statements. The specific valuation 
techniques used to value the derivative financial instruments include:

•  the fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable 

yield curves;

•  the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date; and

•  the fair value of the commodity forward contracts is determined using the commodity price at the balance sheet date.

Critical accounting judgement and estimate

The Orora Group Treasury team performs the financial instrument valuations, including Level 3 fair values if any, and report directly  
to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Audit & Compliance Committee. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held 
with the CFO and Orora Group Treasury at least once every six months, in line with the Group’s half-yearly reporting requirements. 
Significant valuation issues are reported to the Audit & Compliance Committee.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are 
categorised into three levels as prescribed under accounting standards, with each of these levels indicating the reliability of the  
inputs used in determining fair value. The levels in the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1: fair value identified from quoted price traded in an active market for an identical asset or liability at the end of the reporting 
period. The quoted market price used for assets is the last bid price.

Level 2: fair value determined using valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible 
on entity-specific estimates. All significant inputs used in the valuation method are observable.

Level 3: one or more of the significant inputs in determining fair value for the asset or liability is not based on observable market data 
(unobservable input).

6.3 IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Testing for impairment

The Group tests property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill for impairment:

•  at least annually for indefinite life intangibles and goodwill; and

•  where there is an indication that an asset may be impaired (which is assessed at least each reporting date); or

•  where there is an indication that previously recognised impairment (on assets other than goodwill) have changed.

105

 Orora Limited Annual Report 2015SECTION 6: RISK (continued)

6.3 IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS (continued)

Testing for impairment (continued)

In testing for impairment, the recoverable amount is estimated for an individual asset or, if it is not possible to estimate the recoverable 
amount for the individual asset, the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs. CGUs are the smallest identifiable 
group of assets that generate cash flows that are largely independent from the cash flows of other assets or group of assets. Each CGU 
is no larger than an operating segment.

Assets are impaired if their carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is determined 
as the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal or value in use.

An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement if the carrying amount of an asset or a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. 
Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU 
(group of CGUs) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs).

Impairment calculations

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that 
reflects the risks specific to the asset or CGU and the market’s current assessment of the time value of money.

Value in use is assessed using cash flow projections for five years using data from the Group’s latest internal forecasts and is 
management’s best estimate of income, expenses, capital expenditure and cash flows for each CGU. Changes in selling prices and  
direct costs are based on past experience and management’s expectation of future changes in the markets in which the Group 
operates. Cash flows beyond the five year period are extrapolated using estimated growth rates which are determined with regard  
to the long-term performance of each CGU in their respective markets and are not expected to exceed the long-term average growth 
rates for the industry in which each CGU operates.

The discount rate used in performing the value in use calculations reflects the Group’s weighted average cost of capital, as adjusted  
for specific risks relating to each geographical region in which the CGU’s operate.

Reversal of impairment

Where there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased, the asset is 
tested. The impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of the 
asset and is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed the carrying amount that would have 
been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised. Impairments recognised for goodwill 
are not reversed.

Recognised impairments

30 June 2015

No impairment of non-financial assets has been recognised during the year ended 30 June 2015. In accordance with the Group’s 
accounting policies the impairment losses recognised in the prior period (see discussion below), were reassessed at 30 June 2015  
for any indications that the loss may have decreased or may no longer exist, no such indicators were identified.

30 June 2014

During the year ended 30 June 2014, the Australasia segment recorded impairments of $187.4 million of property, plant and 
equipment and $14.8 million of computer software relating to the Fibre CGU impairment assessment, of which $9.2 million of 
equipment assets and $1.5 million of computer software were scrapped with an additional impairment of $178.2 million and 
$13.3 million being recognised in relation to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, respectively. The impairments  
were recognised within ‘general and administration’ expense in the income statement, refer note 7.2 for further details.

106

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS30 JUNE 2015Orora Limited Annual Report 2015Goodwill impairment tests

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units or groups of CGUs according to the level  
at which management monitors goodwill. Goodwill is tested annually or more regularly if there are indicators of impairment.

The following table presents a summary of the goodwill allocation and the key assumptions used in determining the recoverable 
amount of each CGU:

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs were based on the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the 
CGU (value in use). Value in use is calculated from cash flow projections for five years using data from the Group’s latest internal 
forecasts. The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are those regarding discount rates, growth rates and expected 
changes in earnings.

Critical accounting judgement and estimate

The determination of impairment involves the use of judgements and estimates that include, but are not limited to, the cause, 
timing and measurement of the impairment.

Management is required to make significant judgements concerning the identification of impairment indicators, such as changes in 
competitive positions, expectations of growth, increased cost of capital, and other factors that may indicate impairment such as a 
business restructuring. In addition, management is also required to make significant estimates regarding future cash flows and the 
determination of fair values when assessing the recoverable amount of assets (or group of assets). Inputs into these valuations require 
assumptions and estimates to be made about forecast earnings before interest and tax and related future cash flows, growth rates, 
applicable discount rates, useful live and residual values.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions used in assessing impairment are management’s best estimates based on current and 
forecast market conditions. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in changes in  
the recognition of impairment charges in future periods.

The Group holds shares in itself as a result of shares purchased by the Orora Employee Share Trust (the Trust). The Trust was 
established on 20 February 2014 to manage and administer the Company’s responsibilities under the Group’s Employee Share  
Plans (refer note 8.1) through the acquiring, holding and transferring of shares, or rights to shares, in the Company to participating 
employees. In respect of these transactions, at any point in time the Trust may hold ‘allocated’ and ‘unallocated’ shares.

Allocated shares represent those shares that have been purchased and awarded to employees under the CEO Grant (refer note 8.1.1). 
Allocated shares are not identified or accounted for as treasury shares. These shares are restricted in that the employee is unable to 
dispose of the shares for a period of up to five years (or as otherwise determined by the Board). The Trust holds these shares on behalf 
of the employee until the restriction period is lifted at which time the Trust releases the shares to the employee. Where the Orora 
Employee Share Trust purchases equity instruments in the Company, as a result of managing the Company’s responsibilities under  
the Group’s CEO Grant Employee Share Plan award, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable costs is deducted from 
equity, net of any related income tax effects.

Unallocated shares represent those shares that have been purchased by the Trust on-market to satisfy the potential future vesting of 
awards granted under the Group’s Employee Shares Plans, other than the CEO Grant. As the shares are unallocated they are identified 
and accounted for as treasury shares (Treasury Shares).

Transactions with the Group-sponsored Trust are included in these financial statements. In particular, the Trust’s purchases of shares in 
Orora Limited are debited directly to equity. The shares are held in the Trust until such time as they may be transferred to participants 
of the various Group share schemes. In accordance with the Trust Deed, the Trustees have the power to exercise all voting rights in 
relation to any investment (including shares) held within the Trust.

As at 30 June 2015, the Trust held 6,460,678 Treasury Shares in the Company (2014: nil) and 979,796 allocated shares in respect of 
the CEO Grant (2014: 2,803,312). Subsequent to the end of the current reporting period, on 24 August 2015, the Board authorised 
management to issue a request to the Trustee to waive all right and entitlement to be paid the final 2014/15 dividend in respect of 
Treasury Shares held by the Trust. As a result, assuming the Trustee grants the request, the Treasury Shares will not receive a dividend 
payment in respect of the final 2014/15 dividend.

result of the demerger restructuring activities. Refer to note 7.2 for further information on the impact on the reported results of Orora 
Limited of this disposal.

7.2 ORORA LIMITED DEMERGER – 30 JUNE 2014

Effective 17 December 2013, the Group demerged from Amcor Ltd (Amcor). The Company was listed as a separate standalone entity  
on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 18 December 2013 and the demerger was implemented on 31 December 2013 with  
the Group repaying amounts owed to Amcor totalling $765.8 million pursuant to the Demerger Agreement.

Prior to the demerger, the Company and Amcor were required to undertake an internal corporate restructure which took place on 
31 October 2013. As a result of the corporate restructure, certain flexible packaging assets and businesses of the Company were sold 
and several entities ceased to be, and several entities became, subsidiaries of the Company. In addition, a number of operating assets 
and liabilities were legally transferred between the Company and entities within the Amcor Group.

The statutory financial information prepared for the comparative financial year ended 30 June 2014 does not give a view of the 
performance of the Group as it is currently structured as a result of the internal corporate restructure. The statutory financial 
information for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 includes the results of certain flexible packaging entities, assets and operations 
from 1 July 2013 to 31 October 2013, being the date at which these operations ceased to be part of the Group under the internal 
corporate restructure, as well as internal and external borrowings of the Company that were held up to the demerger date, but which 
were retained by Amcor post the demerger. The statutory financial information only includes the results of the Group’s businesses in 
North America and certain closure and fibre activities in the Australia and New Zealand region from 1 November 2013, the date at 
which these operations became part of the Group under the internal corporate restructure.

To assist shareholders in their understanding of the Group’s business as it is now structured, pro forma financial information for  
the year ended 30 June 2014 is provided in the Review of Operations section of the Directors’ Report (and can also be found in the 
Company’s media release lodged with the ASX on 26 August 2015). This pro forma information is prepared on the basis that the 
business as it is now structured was in effect for the period 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014. In the preparation of the pro forma financial 
information, adjustments have been made to the Group’s results, as they are presented in Group’s segment note (refer note 2), to 
present a view of performance as if the corporate restructure had been effective from 1 July 2013. Additional adjustments have also 
been made in the presentation of pro forma financial information to reflect changes in depreciation and corporate costs, associated 
with the Company becoming a stand-alone listed entity, as well as reflecting the Group holding external debt and applying an effective 
tax rate of 30.8% in respect of the period presented.

The pro forma adjustments referred to above have been made on a basis consistent with those contemplated on page 46 of the Amcor 
Ltd Demerger Scheme Booklet.

 Orora Limited Annual Report 2015SECTION 7: GROUP STRUCTURE (continued)

7.2 ORORA LIMITED DEMERGER – 30 JUNE 2014 (continued) 

Businesses acquired and disposed

As part of the corporate internal restructure undertaken by the Group pursuant to the Demerger Deed with Amcor, certain assets, 
liabilities and legal entities have been acquired and divested by the Group. Details of the legal entities acquired and disposed are 
contained within the 2014 Annual Report.

These transactions occurred under the common control of Amcor and for consolidation purposes have been accounted for as 
transactions between entities under common control. As a consequence no acquisition accounting in the form of a purchase price 
allocation was undertaken and therefore the assets and liabilities have not been remeasured to fair value nor has any goodwill arisen. 
As the Group has elected to account for the business combination as a common control transaction all the assets and liabilities 
acquired by the Group, as a result of the internal corporate restructure, have been recognised at values consistent with the carrying 
value of those assets and liabilities in Amcor’s accounts immediately prior to the restructure.

Disposed businesses

The businesses disposed of under the corporate internal restructure, which occurred prior to the demerger, have been treated as a 
discontinued operation within this financial report. As a result of the internal restructure the flexible packaging assets and businesses 
were transferred to Amcor and resulted in the recognition of a gain on sale of $29.8 million which was settled through intercompany 
loans between the Group and Amcor upon demerger. This gain is presented within discontinued operations.

Acquired businesses

Under the internal corporate restructure, the acquisition of the North America business and certain closure and fibre packaging 
activities in the Australia and New Zealand region was funded through a share issue. The acquisition was undertaken at the direction 
and while under the common control of Amcor and as a result the transactions have been recognised, for consolidation purposes, 
within equity. The movements in equity include the acquisition of the reserves and retained earnings of the acquired operations as at 
the date of the corporate restructure and the recognition of a demerger reserve of $132.9 million. The demerger reserve represents 
the difference between the deemed consideration established under the internal corporate restructure and the carrying value of the 
assets and liabilities acquired, under the common control transaction.

Impairment of assets

On demerger it was necessary to undertake an assessment of the carrying value of the Orora business and its CGUs, as the fair value of 
the Orora business and its CGUs at the time of the demerger were influenced by the new listed entity, Orora Limited’s, cost of capital.

In performing the impairment assessment management estimated the recoverable amount of each CGU based on the present value  
of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU (value in use). The value in use assessment was calculated using five year 
cash flow projections that were sourced from the Group’s latest internal forecasts and a pre-tax discount rate of 10.6% with nominal 
growth anticipated in the terminal value year.

For the majority of the CGUs, the assessment indicated that the recoverable amounts were higher than the carrying value of the assets 
and no impairment was required. However for the Orora Fibre CGU, which forms part of the Australasia segment, the recoverable 
amount was below the carrying value of the assets indicating the existence of a potential impairment. Having identified the potential 
impairment management undertook a detailed assessment of the assets within this CGU to identify the specific assets impaired, as a 
result of this review an impairment of $209.8 million was recognised. Of the impairment identified $178.2 million relates to property, 
plant and equipment (refer note 4.6) and $13.3 million to intangible assets, being computer software (refer note 4.7). The impairment 
identified also included asset write-downs totalling $18.3 million of which $9.2 million related to property, plant and equipment, 
$1.5 million to intangible assets and $7.6 million to inventory. The impairment losses were recognised within ‘general and 
administrative’ expense in the income statement.

In respect of the Fibre CGU value in use computation if the pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections had been 1% 
higher than management’s estimate (11.6% rather than 10.6%) then the impairment identified would have been $84.7 million higher. 
In accordance with the Group’s accounting policies the impairment loss has been reassessed as at 30 June 2015 for any indication that 
the loss may have changed; no such indicators were identified (refer note 6.3).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS30 JUNE 2015Orora Limited Annual Report 2015SECTION 8: OTHER

8.1 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share-based incentives. 
Employees are paid for their services or incentivised for the performance in part through options or rights over shares. The expense 
arising from these transactions is shown in note 3.2.

Recognition and measurement

Share-based payments can either be equity settled or cash settled. If the employee is provided a choice of settlement options then  
the scheme is to be cash settled.

Equity settled transactions

The cost of equity settled transactions with employees is measured using the fair value at the date at which the options or right 
is granted.

The fair value of options is measured at grant date taking into account market performance conditions, but excludes the impact of  
any non-market conditions (e.g. profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in the assumptions 
about the number of options that are expected to be exercisable. The fair value of each option granted is measured on the date of 
grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the vesting and performance criteria, 
and where applicable the market condition criteria, term of the option, impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the 
share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate 
for the term of the option.

The fair value of rights is measured at grant date using a Monte-Carlo valuation model which simulates the date of vesting, the 
percentage vesting, the share price and total shareholder return. Once the simulated date of vesting is determined a Black-Sholes 
methodology is utilised to determine the fair value of the rights granted.

The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised as an employee benefit expense in the income statement with a corresponding 
increase in the share-based payments reserve in equity and is spread over the vesting period during which the employees become 
unconditionally entitled to the option or right. Upon exercise of the options or rights, the balance of the share-based payment reserve, 
relating to the option or right, is transferred to share capital.

At each reporting period the Group revises the estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market 
vesting conditions. Any impact to the revision of an original estimate is recognised in the income statement with a corresponding 
adjustment to the share-based payment reserve. The employee expense, recognised each period, reflects the most recent estimate.

Cash settled transactions

The ultimate expense recognised in relation to cash-settled transactions will be equal to the actual cash paid to the employees, which 
will be the fair value at settlement date. The expected cash payment is estimated at each reporting period and a liability recognised to 
the extent that the vesting period has expired and in proportion to the amount of the awards that are expected to ultimately vest. 
At 30 June 2015, the Group does not have any cash settled schemes (2014: nil).

8.1.1 CEO Grant

Under the CEO Grant, the Board nominates certain senior executives as eligible to receive fully-paid ordinary shares in part satisfaction 
of their remuneration for the relevant financial year. The number of shares issued is at the discretion of the Board. The restrictions on 
these shares do not allow the employee to dispose of the shares for a period of up to five years (or as otherwise determined by the 
Board), unless the employee ceases employment later than three years after the shares were issued. Any right or interest in the shares 
will be forfeited if the employee voluntarily ceases employment within three years from the date the shares were issued or, if the 
employee is dismissed during the restriction period for cause or poor performance. The shares subject to the CEO Grant carry full 
dividend entitlements and voting rights.

In 2014, the Group established the Orora Long Term Incentive plan (LTI). Under the LTI, share options or performance rights over shares 
in the Company, or performance shares, may be issued to executive officers, senior executives and senior employees. The exact terms 
and conditions of each award are determined by the Directors of the Company at the time of grant.

Share options

Share options granted under the LTI give the employee the right to acquire a share at a future point in time upon meeting specified 
vesting conditions that are both time and performance-based and require payment of an exercise price. The share options are granted 
at no consideration and carry no dividend entitlement or voting rights until they vest and are exercised to ordinary shares on a 
one-for-one basis. The number of shares that ultimately vest is subject to meeting an EPS hurdle and the satisfaction of a Return  
on Average Funds Employed (RoAFE) test.

Share options that have vested following satisfaction of time and performance conditions will remain exercisable until the expiry date. 
On expiry, any vested but unexercised share options will lapse. Unvested awards are forfeited if the employee voluntarily ceases 
employment or is dismissed for poor performance.

Performance rights

Performance rights granted under the LTI give the employee the right to receive a share at a future point in time upon meeting 
specified vesting conditions that are both time and performance-based with no exercise price payable. The performance rights are 
granted at no consideration and carry no dividend entitlement or voting rights until they vest and are exercised to ordinary shares on 
a one-for-one basis. Two-thirds of the number of performance rights that ultimately vest are subject to a relative Total Shareholder 
Return test. The remaining one-third is subject to meeting an EPS hurdle and the satisfaction of a RoAFE test.

Performance rights or performance shares that have vested following the time and performance conditions will remain exercisable 
until the expiry date. On expiry, any vested but unexercised performance rights or performance shares will lapse. Unvested awards  
are forfeited if the employee voluntarily ceases employment or is dismissed for poor performance.

8.1.3 Short term incentive

Deferred equity

The Orora Limited Short Term Incentive Plan – deferred equity (STI) provides a short-term incentive opportunity to selected executives, 
in the form of rights to Orora Limited shares. The number of rights that are allocated to each eligible executive is based on:

•  33.3% of the value of the cash bonus payable under the STI, following the end of the performance period

•  the volume weighted average price of Orora Limited ordinary shares for the five trading days prior to 30 June, being the end of the 

performance period; and

•  where cash bonuses are determined in currencies other than Australian dollars, the average foreign exchange rate for the same 

five day period.

An executive will forfeit allocated performance rights if either they voluntarily leave Orora employment during the restriction period 
or their employment is terminated for cause. Board discretion applies in the case of involuntary termination of employment and 
change of control.

Details of the total movement in shares granted under the STI are as follows, there were no STI grants in the comparative period:

8.2 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)

Capital expenditure commitments

At 30 June 2015, the Group has capital commitments contracted but not provided for in respect of the acquisition of property, plant 
and equipment of $6.0 million (2014: $7.1 million).

Other expenditure commitments

At 30 June 2015, the Group had other expenditure commitments of $82.6 million (2014: $102.0 million) in respect of other supplies 
and services yet to be provided.

Guarantees

The Group has issued a number of bank guarantees to third parties for various operational and legal purposes. It is not expected that 
these guarantees will be called on.

Other

Certain entities in the Group are party to various legal actions that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The actions are  
being defended and the Directors are of the opinion that provisions are not required as no material losses are expected to arise.

8.3 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

US Private Placement

On 17 July 2015, the Group announced that it had successfully completed the US Private Placement of notes issued by its wholly-
owned US subsidiary, raising USD250.0 million through the issuance of notes of which USD100.0 million matures in eight years and 
USD150.0 million matures in ten years. Refer to note 5.7 for further information on the impact of this raising upon the Group’s net 
financial debt position, subsequent to the issue.

Australian land sale

On 20 July 2015, the Group announced that it had reached agreement to sell the former cartonboard mill site in Petrie, Queensland, 
Australia, to Moreton Bay Regional Council for a total consideration of $50.5 million. The Group received $20.0 million on the exchange 
of contracts and the balance of the proceeds will be paid as decommissioning of the site progresses over the next two years. The total 
profit on the sale is anticipated to be approximately $10.0 million.

Early adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments

On 24 August 2015, the Board approved the early adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments as issued in December 2014, with effect 
from 1 July 2015. This standard replaces the provisions of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement that relate to 
the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, the derecognition of financial instruments; 
and hedge accounting. Refer to note 8.8.2 for further information.

Dividend waiver on Treasury Shares

On 24 August 2015, the Board authorised management to issue a request to the Trustee to waive all right and entitlement to be paid 
the final 2014/15 dividend in respect of Treasury Shares held by the Trust. As a result, assuming the Trustee grants the request, the 
Treasury Shares will not receive a dividend payment in respect of the final 2014/15 dividend. Refer to note 7.1.1 for further information 
in respect of the Employee Share Trust.

Business acquisition

On 26 August 2015, Orora signed an agreement to acquire the assets and business of Jakait, a supplier of packaging, logistics and label 
products to the greenhouse produce sector based in Ontario, Canada. The consideration is CAD16.5 million ($17.2 million) which 
represents an EBITDA multiple of 5.6 times. There is also an additional returns based consideration component of up to CAD5.5 million 
($5.7 million) payable over five years. The anticipated effective date of the acquisition is 1 September 2015 and will be funded from 
existing cash/debt facilities.

The financial information for the parent entity Orora Limited has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial 
statements, except as set out below.

Investments in subsidiaries

In the Company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less, where applicable, accumulated impairment 
losses.

Tax consolidation regime

On 1 January 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities formed a tax-consolidated group and are therefore 
taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Orora Limited.

The Company, and the members of the tax-consolidated group, recognise their own current tax expense/income and deferred tax 
assets and liabilities arising from temporary differences using the ‘stand alone taxpayer’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts 
of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

117

 Orora Limited Annual Report 2015SECTION 8: OTHER (continued) 

8.4 ORORA LIMITED (continued)

Basis of preparation (continued)

Tax consolidation regime (continued)

In addition to its current and deferred tax balances, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets), and the deferred 
tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from members of the tax-consolidated group, as part of the 
tax-consolidation arrangement. Assets or liabilities arising as part of the tax consolidation arrangement are recognised as current 
amounts receivable or payable from the other entities within the tax-consolidated group.

Nature of tax sharing agreement

Upon tax consolidation, the entities within the tax consolidated group entered into a tax sharing agreement. The terms of this 
agreement specify the methods of allocating any tax liability in the event of default by the Company on its group payment obligations 
and the treatment where a subsidiary member exits the group. The tax liability otherwise remains with the Company for tax purposes.

Contingent liabilities of Orora Limited

Pursuant to the terms of the ASIC Class Order 98/1418 (as amended) dated 13 August 1998, which relieved certain wholly-owned 
subsidiaries from specific accounting and financial reporting requirements, Orora Limited and all of the Company’s Australian 
wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into an approved deed for the cross guarantee of liabilities. No liabilities subject to the Deed  
of Cross Guarantee at 30 June 2015 are expected to arise to Orora Limited and subsidiaries, as all such subsidiaries were financially 
sound and solvent at that date.

Details of the deed and the consolidated financial position of the Company and the subsidiaries party to the deed are set out in 
note 8.5.

8.5 DEED OF CROSS GUARANTEE

Under the terms of ASIC Class Order 98/1418 (as amended), certain wholly-owned controlled entities have been granted relief  
from the Corporations Act 2001 requirement to prepare and lodge audited Financial Reports and Directors’ Reports.

It is a condition of the Class Order that the holding entity, Orora Limited, and each of the relevant subsidiaries enter into a Deed  
of Cross Guarantee whereby each company guarantees the debts of the company’s party to the Deed.

On 9 May 2014, the holding entity, Orora Limited, entered into the Deed of Cross Guarantee with the following subsidiaries.

Envirocrates Pty Ltd 
PP New Pty Ltd 
Pak Pacific Corporation Pty Ltd 
AP Chase Pty Ltd

The related parties identified by the Directors include investments and key management personnel.

To enable users of our financial statements to form a view about the effects of related party relationships on the Group, we disclose

with entities in the wholly-owned Group are made on normal commercial terms and conditions and during the year included:

•  purchases and sales of goods and services; and

•  provision of administrative assistance.

In the comparative period, prior to the demerger and subsequent listing of Orora Limited on the Australian Securities Exchange, 
the ultimate parent entity of Orora Limited was Amcor Ltd. Transactions between entities of the Group, whilst a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of Amcor Ltd, and the controlled entities of Amcor Ltd (collectively referred to as Amcor) included:

•  transfer of tax related balances for tax consolidation purposes;

With the exception of some interest-free loans provided by Amcor and the sale of inventory by Orora’s Australian entities to Amcor 
for sale within Australia, which occurred at nil margin, all other transactions were conducted according to normal commercial terms 
and conditions.

Amounts owing to and from entities in the Group and entities in the Amcor Group were dealt with on demerger in the manner as set 
out in note 7.2.

8.8 OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES

8.8.1 New and amended accounting standards and interpretations adopted from 1 July 2014

The Group has adopted all new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations mandatory as at 1 July 2014, 
including:

•  AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities which provides guidance 
to AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation to address inconsistences identified in applying some of the offsetting criteria of 
AASB 132. The amendment did not have any impact upon the Group on adoption.

•  AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets amends the disclosure 
requirements in AASB 136 Impairment of Assets and requires the disclosure of financial information about the fair value 
measurement when recoverable amount of impaired assets is based on fair value less costs to dispose. The additional disclosure 
requirements have not impacted the Group upon adoption.

•  AASB 2013-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting 

permits the continuation of hedge accounting where a derivative designated as a hedging instrument is novated from one 
counterparty to a central counterparty as a result of laws or regulations. The amendment did not impact any of the hedging 
contracts held by the Group on adoption.

•  AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Part: A Annual Improvements 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 Cycle 

amend a number of accounting standards including: clarification of the definitions in AASB 2 Share-based Payment and AASB 124 
Related Party Disclosures; additional disclosures requirements in AASB 8 Operating Segments; clarification of the portfolio exception 
in AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement; clarification of items in AASB 140 Investment Property and other editorial corrections. The 
amendments did not have any impact upon the Group on adoption.

Although the adoption of these standards has resulted in some changes to the accounting policies of the Group, they have not resulted 
in any adjustment to the amounts recognised in the financial statements, nor resulted in any additional disclosures upon adoption.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS30 JUNE 2015Orora Limited Annual Report 20158.8.2 New and amended standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

The following new or amended accounting standards issued by the AASB are relevant to current operations and may impact the Group 
in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption but have not been applied in preparing this Financial Report.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial instruments. The requirements of this standard aim 
to improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets and the accounting of financial liabilities. 
It also includes a forward looking ‘expected loss’ impairment model and substantially changes the approach to hedge accounting. 
The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation with regards to financial 
instruments. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2018 but early adoption is available.

Subsequent to the end of the current reporting period, on 24 August 2015, the Board approved the early adoption of AASB 9 Financial 
Instruments as issued in December 2014, with effect from 1 July 2015. The key change for the Group associated with adopting AASB 9 
is that it will allow the Group to align its hedge accounting more closely with its risk management practices. AASB 9 allows an option’s 
intrinsic value to be designated as the hedging instrument, with the change in time value recognised in other comprehensive income 
rather than profit and loss, which is then recycled to profit or loss either over the period of the hedge, if the hedge is time-related, 
or when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, if the hedge is transaction related.

Whilst AASB 9 does not need to be applied by the Group until the financial year beginning on 1 July 2018, the Group has decided  
to early adopt the standard because the new accounting policies are considered to provide more reliable and relevant information. 
As a consequence of adopting AASB 9 early, the Group will also adopt the consequential amendments introduced to other numerous 
Australian Accounting Standards by AASB 2014-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 
2014) on 1 July 2015.

Adoption of AASB 9 will not impact the classification and measurement or hedge accounting of those financial instruments held by  
the Group as at 30 June 2015, therefore no restatement of comparative information will be required on the transition to AASB 9 on 
1 July 2015. Additional disclosures, in respect of financial instruments, are likely upon adoption of AASB 9.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 15 replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and 
Interpretation 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when  
control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The notion of control under AASB 15 replaces the existing notion of risks  
and rewards under current accounting standards. The standard is applicable from 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted.

The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the new standard upon the Group’s revenue recognition policy and at this 
stage are unable to estimate the financial impact on adopting the standard.

TO THE MEMBERS OF ORORA LIMITED

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL REPORT

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Orora Limited (the company), 
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015,  
the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of comprehensive 
income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow 
statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting  
policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration for Orora Limited  
Group (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the company and  
the entities it controlled at year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL REPORT

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report 
that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is 
necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in 
accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, 
that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our  
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  
Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating  
to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 
whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts 
and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s 
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 
financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the 
auditor considers internal control relevant to the consolidated entity’s preparation  
and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that  
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion 
on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating  
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 
estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the 
financial report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate  
to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

INDEPENDENCE

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001.
