Chairman’s review

“The transformation into a scalable, global, innovation-driven 
product company has begun”

go-to-market process, and progression toward a 
Group-wide business application stack, the building 
blocks for future scalability of the business are 
being positioned. Further scalability is anticipated 
through the implementation of a consolidation 
warehouse in China, which is expected to be 
operational in the second half of the 2017 financial 
year. 

The Board increased the level of dividends for 
the year to 28.5 cents per share from 27.0 cents 
per share in the prior year, demonstrating its 
confidence in Breville’s global growth potential, the 
Group’s strong balance sheet, and the continued 
commitment to providing strong returns to 
shareholders. 

On behalf of the Board, I would like to take this 
opportunity to welcome Kate Wright, who joined 
the Board on 1 September 2016 as a non-executive 
director. I encourage all shareholders to attend the 
annual general meeting in November to join us in 
formally welcoming Kate.

Finally, I would like to thank my Board colleagues, 
the many Breville team members around the 
globe for their dedication and hard work, and our 
shareholders, customers and suppliers for their 
continued support.

Steven Fisher  
Non-executive chairman

During the 2016 financial year, the Breville Group 
delivered a result with growth in both Group 
revenue and EBIT. This result was accomplished 
whilst simultaneously executing the Group’s 
transformation program in a challenging and 
highly competitive global market.

Group revenues increased by 9.4% on the prior year 
to $576.6m, underpinned by the continued growth 
from Breville designed and developed products.  
EBIT for the year finished at $73.7m, being 5.9% 
higher than the prior year and net profit after tax 
increased by 7.5% to $50.2m. 

North American revenue, in AUD, increased by 
24.0% to $251.8m, with growth coming from new 
product releases and sustained performance of 
existing products in the key beverage and cooking 
categories. In ANZ, revenues for the year of 
$242.6m were marginally lower than the prior year. 
Pleasingly ANZ still achieved increases in revenues 
from Breville designed and developed products, 
but these increases were insufficient to offset the 
decline in revenues from the highly competitive 
and price driven ‘sourced products’ segment. Rest 
of World segment revenues, in AUD, increased 
by 4.3% to $82.3m, although in constant currency, 
segment revenues were lower than the prior year. 
The UK business continues to perform solidly. 

The growth in Group EBIT was primarily driven by 
the strong performance in North America, which 
reported EBIT increasing by 36.9% in AUD to 
$43.6m, compensating for the ANZ segment, where 
EBIT decreased by $1.7m to $16.6m. The decrease 
in ANZ EBIT resulted primarily from the negative 
margin impact of the strengthened USD and a 
highly competitive market, which was partially 
offset by the sales mix shift towards higher margin 
Breville designed and developed products. Rest of 
World segment EBIT was 8.4% higher at $22.1m, 
with improved EBIT margin driven by a shift to 
higher margin products in both the Rest of World 
distribution business and the UK.

Under the leadership and vision of CEO Jim 
Clayton, the Group is well placed for global growth, 
with a number of key strategic levers in execution 
phase under the transformation program. With 
faster development cycles and global product 
launches, end-to-end transformation of our Group

CEO’s review

“Despite the challenging nature of the global market, the 
Group was able to deliver in line with our expectations,

During the year the Group has refined its 
strategic path and commenced execution of its 
transformation program, whilst simultaneously 
delivering Group revenue and earnings 
expectations.  

The North American business has continued its 
strong growth with reported revenue up 24.0% to 
$251.8m (FY15: $203.1m), with constant currency 
growth of 10.3% reflecting the ongoing positive 
growth since the juicing category re-set, which 
commenced in calendar year 2014. North American 
EBIT in AUD for the year increased by 36.9% to 
$43.6m (FY15: $31.9m) driven by the increase in 
revenue and a more favourable product mix. The 
segment EBIT margin, which increased to 17.3% 
from 15.7% in the prior year, was also assisted by the 
introduction of new innovative products at higher 
margins.

In ANZ, Breville designed and developed products 
(“Breville Global”) performed well with revenue 
increasing by 11.2%; however, trading remained 
difficult in the mid-market segment, which 
comprises revenues from ‘sourced products’, 
internally referred to as “Breville Local”. The 
price driven nature of this segment, coupled with 
discount retailers favouring their own brands in the 
entry to mid-price points, contributed to the decline 
in the revenue of this market segment. 

ANZ EBIT for the year decreased by 9.4% to $16.6m 
(FY15: $18.3m), being negatively impacted by the 
strengthened USD and the inability, due to market 
pressures, to process compensating wholesale price 
increases across the entire range. The impact of the 
USD on margins was partially offset by the sales 
mix shift towards the higher margin Breville Global 
products and cost efficiency savings.

The Rest of World segment increased revenue in 
AUD by 4.3% to $82.3m (FY15: $78.8m). In constant 
currency segment revenues were less than the prior 
year, with the Rest of World distribution business 
revenues negatively impacted by a number of our 
distribution partners’ exposure to the strengthening 
USD and specific issues in some of the markets in 
which they operate. The UK business continued its 
solid performance with revenue growing by 15.2% 
in AUD or 7.4% in constant currency as both the 
customer base and product range expanded.

Rest of World EBIT of $22.1m (FY15: $20.3m) was 
8.4% higher. The segment EBIT margin improved to 
26.8% from 25.8%, driven by a shift to higher margin 
products in both the Rest of World distribution 
business and the UK.

During my first year at Breville, the Group has 
begun its transition from an Australian company, 
which sells products globally, to a truly global 
business selling products locally. I am pleased to 
report that we have moved from the planning to 
the execution phase of the transformation program 
which is tracking to our timeline.

CEO’s review continued

The transformation program is focused on the three 
key strategic levers, with progress against each as 
follows:

•  Transition into a global, innovation-driven 

product company: shorten development cycles 
and accelerate new global product releases, 
increase the relative investment in R&D and 
marketing and align the Group behind the 
go-to-market models of ‘Global’ and ‘Local’ 
businesses.

>  A new innovative product, with an original 
target release date of September 2017 has 
been accelerated to a fully marketed launch 
in October/November 2016

>  Structural changes made to the ANZ 

‘product’ function will enable acceleration 
of new product introductions and better 
alignment with retailers and customers

•  Market expansion and optimisation: improving 

go-to-market and geographic footprint 
effectiveness, expanding into new channels and 
helping distribution partners grow more quickly.

>  Sales force effectiveness: multi-country 

pilots  have been run to identify 
opportunities

>  Go-to-market: End to end re-architecture 
of the Group’s go-to-market process has 
commenced

>  Rest of World distributors: Market-back 
pricing has been extended to other 
distributors

>  North American Nespresso partnership: 

distribution to commence in the second half 
of FY17

•  Scalable, global platform: a corporate platform 
designed to scale efficiently and effectively 
which allows granular management of global 
product flow and gives 360° visibility of our 
customers and common visibility across 
the Group (ERP, Customer Relationship 
Management (CRM), Ecommerce, Sales and 
Operational Planning (S&OP).

>  S&OP process implemented in the second 
half of FY16, with benefits to begin flowing 
in FY17

>  ERP system in Canada became operational 
and the USA ERP implementation will 
follow in September 2016

>  Further scalability is anticipated through 
the establishment of a consolidation 
warehouse in China, which is expected to be 
operational in the second half of FY17.

FY16 was a year of organisational structure and 
alignment and planning. FY17 will be one of 
transformational execution. The focus on the 
acceleration of new global product introductions 
and releases will continue, and the re-architecture 
of the go-to-market process will progress. The 
cost structure re-allocation towards product and 
marketing will commence with the transition from 
spending 8.4% of net sales (FY16) to 12% of net sales, 
a process that is expected to progress over multiple 
future reporting periods. Core global systems 
and the consolidation warehouse will be fully 
operational by the close of FY17.

On a personal note, I am encouraged by the 
progress we have made during the year and the 
passion and capability demonstrated by the Breville 
Group team.  I would like to thank the Board and 
the Breville Group team for their ongoing support 
and counsel.

Strategy and brands

Breville Group’s primary strategy is the design and development 
of the world’s best kitchen appliances together with effective 
distribution and marketing of their performance benefits  
on a global scale.

Europe

In the United Kingdom and Europe the Breville 
brand is not owned or operated by the Breville 
Group.

In the United Kingdom, the Group markets and 
distributes its Breville premium designed and 
developed Breville Global kitchen products 
under the company owned brand Sage™ which is 
endorsed by internationally acclaimed chef Heston 
Blumenthal.

Within Europe, the Group has a number of partners 
who market Breville’s premium designed and 
developed products under their own brands or 
under the Sage™ brand. In addition to endorsing 
the Sage™ brand, Heston Blumenthal also plays the 
role of being Breville’s global brand ambassador in 
all markets outside of Europe.

Rest of the World

In the Asia Pacific region and the Middle East, 
the Group markets its premium designed and 
developed kitchen products under the Breville 
brand as well as selected products under the 
Kambrook brand in parts of Asia and Africa. 
Distribution in these regions is managed using 
local third party distributors supplied via the 
Group’s Hong Kong office. 

The Breville brand is at the core of this strategy 
representing the majority of the Group’s revenues 
and marketing activities. There are however, a 
number of additional company owned brands and 
brand partners in different geographies that assist 
in the delivery of the business strategy.

In line with its global strategy, the company is 
focused on the design and development of Breville 
branded products supplied to the premium kitchen 
segment of the market (internally referred to as 
‘Breville Global’) but still enjoys reasonably broad 
distribution in Australia and New Zealand of 
‘sourced products’ (internally referred to as ‘Breville 
Local’), some of which also carry the Breville brand, 
but may also be branded Kambrook. 

North America

In North America, the Group distributes its range 
of premium internally designed and developed 
kitchen products under the Breville brand primarily 
through premium channels and its own online 
retailing platform. From the second half of the 
2017 financial year, the Breville brand will include 
a range of Breville co-branded Nespresso coffee 
machines as one of Nespresso’s machine partners 
in North America.  

Since July 2014, North American revenues have 
also included a USA based culinary division - 
PolyScience, one of the world’s market leaders in 
premier sous vide cooking in both the commercial 
and professional markets.

Australia and New Zealand

In Australia and New Zealand, the Group primarily 
trades under its company owned brands, Breville 
and Kambrook and also distributes a range of 
Philips products in the garment and personal care 
categories under a licence agreement. 

The Kambrook brand extends to categories beyond 
the kitchen, offering not just a full range of kitchen 
appliances, but also irons, vacuums, heating and 
cooling products, all at an affordable price without 
any compromise on quality and performance.

Strategy and brands continued

Breville - Thought for Food™
On Melbourne Cup day 1932, two Australian 
entrepreneurs, Bill O’Brien and Harry Norville, 
combined their surnames together to form 
the name ‘Breville’ and founded a company 
manufacturing radios out of Sydney.

During the 1960’s, Bill’s son John focused the 
organisation on solving common kitchen problems 
and founded the Breville small appliance research 
and development centre, which led to the invention 
of the now iconic Breville toasted sandwich maker.

The toasted sandwich maker kick-started a long 
list of innovative Breville products developed in 
Australia. From the original Kitchen Wizz™ food 
processor and High-Wall Wok to the launch of 
the world’s first wide feed chute Juicer, Breville 
has become synonymous with innovation in the 
kitchen. 

In 2000, Breville embarked on a project to expand 
its design and innovation capabilities, building a 
much larger internal team that has today become 
one of Australia’s premier product development 
teams. This investment culminated in the 2003 
launch of its premium range of products into the 
United States and other international markets. 
In 2009, Breville combined its design and 
development capabilities with a more focused 
marketing, recruitment and cultural initiative 
entitled ‘Food Thinking’. As a part of this strategy, a 
new global brand identity was developed and rolled 
out across packaging, point of sale and all other 
consumer marketing touch points. 

Breville’s strategy of ‘Food Thinking’ and creativity 
remains relevant today and it continues to gain 
momentum. The strategy centres around: 

•  Deeper understanding of food and the 

challenges consumers face; 

•  Protectable innovation; 

•  Superior quality and design; and 

•  Increased marketing communication.

Breville’s appreciation for food science and culinary 
trends has led to a fostering of relationships with 
several high profile food thinkers including world 
renowned baristas and chefs, some of which have 
helped the Group in a product development 
capacity. In his ambassadorial role, world renowned 
chef Heston Blumenthal works closely with 
Breville’s product development teams, providing 
invaluable insights into the food science necessary 
for the Group to continue developing “best in class” 
products.

Sage™ By Heston Blumenthal®
In the United Kingdom, the Group distributes its 
premium designed and developed products under 
the Group owned brand, Sage™, which is endorsed 
by Heston Blumenthal. The brand identity and 
positioning of Sage™ by Heston Blumenthal® is 
aligned closely to the global Breville brand identity 
and ‘Food Thinking’ strategy.

The Sage™ by Heston Blumenthal distribution 
strategy is also very similar to that of North 
America, with distribution limited primarily to 
premium retailers. The Group continues to invest 
in marketing activity for the Sage™ by Heston 
Blumenthal® brand to solidify the brand’s presence 
in the premium channel in the United Kingdom.

Kambrook - The Smarter Choice™
Kambrook has become known for quality, durable 
products at an affordable price. The ever-expanding 
product range encompasses appliances for the 
kitchen, living room, laundry and bedroom. 
Kambrook continues to highlight the durability 
of its appliances and the rigorous testing process 
that each new product undergoes. Products are 
subjected to extensive laboratory and quality 
testing before receiving the Kambrook seal of 
approval.

Breville Group Limited annual report 2016

PolyScience
Breville Group acquired the PolyScience culinary 
division in July 2014.  PolyScience which was 
initially a supplier of temperature control 
equipment to the medical industry expanded into 
culinary products, employing its temperature 
control technologies to launch the world’s premier 
immersion cooking circulators (for sous vide 
cooking) as well as various specialty cooking 
accessories such as the Smoking Gun (for rapid 
food smoking), vacuum sealers, cold plates and 
vacuum evaporations systems.  

Innovation & product development
The core driving the Group’s growth continues to 
be investment in product development and a focus 
on design and innovation.  Breville has deepened 
its understanding of food, and how the consumer 
interacts with it, applying this to solving problems 
in ways that are both valuable to people, and 
differentiated from competitors.  

Breville actively protects this customer value 
through increased investment in intellectual 
property protection and via the development of a 
portfolio of patented innovative products for future 
sustainable growth.

People - creativity & food thinkers
Breville enjoys the benefits of highly experienced 
talent across all departments and geographies.  
Integrated throughout its food thinking culture, 
the passion, creativity and insight of staff has 
helped to consistently bring world class innovative 
products to consumers around the world. The team 
continues to be awarded both domestically and 
internationally, with multiple design awards, and 
recognition through mainstream media. 

Breville Group invests in the training and education 
of its team, building strong, collaborative links with 
world experts in food thinking and technology. The 
Group is also involved in several consumer facing 
and chef liaison activities. 

Strongly committed to its core values of 
creativity, simplicity, insight and excellence in 
all departments, Breville recruits, trains, assesses 
and rewards employees on this basis. With a 
team anchored around these common values, 
the business is able to foster a workplace that 
stimulates idea generation, a passion for learning, 
and the continuous search for new and better 
solutions.

Breville Group Limited annual report 2016

During the 2016 financial year, the Group 
continued to grow its highly talented and 
experienced team, bringing on board 
additional experience and expertise, 
particularly in the areas of marketing, 
product design and development, and 
logistics.

Process and mindset change 
for the future
The Group, in addition to investing in 
logistical, marketing and product design 
and development talent, has recently begun 
shifting its go-to-market process.  With the 
objective of an aligned calendar setting, 
both within Breville itself, as well as with the 
Group’s manufacturing and retail channel 
partners, the Group seeks to fully leverage 
an increasing number of new product 
introductions to drive the business and the 
overall brand.  

By ensuring that the ‘go-to-market’ process 
is aligned functionally, regionally and with 
our external partners, the Group has set an 
objective, to launch product, with impact at 
a single moment in time, across a number 
of markets under the global distribution 
footprint, in order to ensure that the Group 
will reap the full potential of its innovation 
and design excellence.  The Group is at 
the beginning stages of the process, and 
will begin to see preliminary results in 
the second half of the 2017 financial year, 
with full benefit coming on line in the 2018 
financial year.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars 
and all amounts have been rounded to the nearest 
thousand dollars ($’000) unless otherwise stated 
under the option available to the company under 
ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors 
Reports) Instrument 2016/191. The company 
is an entity to which the instrument applies.

Performance indicators

Management and the board monitor the financial 
performance of the company by measuring actual 
results against expectations as developed through an 
annual business planning and budgeting process.

Appropriate key performance indicators (KPI’s) 
are used to monitor operating performance 
and management effectiveness.

•  A strong and competitive product portfolio 
with proven success across the globe;

•  A committed, quality team;

•  An R&D culture that focuses on consumer 

needs and food challenges when developing 
new products, enabling the Group to maintain 
its premium product and market positioning;

•  A track record of delivering growth 
outside of the ANZ region; and

•  A strong balance sheet which provides a platform 

to take advantage of future opportunities. 

Currently, the Group is executing two 
distinct go-to-market models: 

•  A ‘global’ go-to-market model, with a 

premium position in the kitchen appliance 
categories, selling globally primarily under 
the Breville and Sage brands; and 

•  A ‘local’ go-to-market model in ANZ, selling 

multiple brands, in multiple categories, across 
a full range of price points, from kitchen 
appliances to personal care and garment care.

During the year, the Group has refined its 
strategic direction and has commenced the 
execution of its transformation program, further 
detail of which is given on pages 18 and 19.

Principal activities

During the year, the principal activities of the Group 
were the innovation, development, marketing and 
distribution of small electrical appliances. In Australia 
and New Zealand, the Group principally trades 
under its company owned brands, Breville and 
Kambrook and also distributes a range of Philips 
products in the personal care and garment care 
categories under a license agreement with Philips.

In North America, the Group distributes Breville 
branded products through premium channels. 
In the UK, the marketing and distribution of 
Breville designed products to premium retailers 
is under the company owned brand, Sage.

1  ROE is calculated based on NPAT for the 12 months ended 
30 June 2016 (2015: 12 months end 30 June 2015) divided 
by shareholders’ equity at 30 June.

Revenue of the consolidated entity for the year was 
$576.6m which was 9.4% higher than the previous 
corresponding year of $527.0m. 

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) increased by 
5.9% on the previous corresponding year to $73.7m. 

The Group’s profit after income tax was $50.2m which 
increased 7.5% on the previous corresponding year of 
$46.7m. 

The basic earnings per share for the consolidated entity 
was 38.6 cents per share (2015: 35.9 cents per share).

North America

The North American business has continued its 
strong growth with reported revenue for the financial 
year increasing to $251.8m (2015: $203.1m) or by 
24.0% compared to the previous corresponding 
period (pcp). In constant currency, revenues for this 
segment increased by 10.3%, reflecting the ongoing 
positive growth since the juicing category re-set, which 
commenced in calendar year 2014.

Increased North American revenues were underpinned 
by new product releases as well as the sustained 
performance of the existing product range in the key 
categories of beverage and cooking. Core products 
in these categories include the range of espresso 
machines, mini ovens, toasters and kettles.

Reported EBIT for the year was 36.9% higher than 
pcp increasing to $43.6m (2015: $31.9m) driven by 
the increase in revenue along with a more favourable 
product mix. The segment EBIT margin, which 
increased to 17.3% (2015: 15.7%), was also assisted 
by the introduction of new innovative products at higher 
margins. 

ANZ

Our ANZ segment, which sells multiple brands, in 
multiple categories, across a full range of price points, 
from kitchen appliances to personal care and garment 
care, continues to face market challenges in the mid-
market segment. 

Revenues for the year of $242.6m were marginally lower 
($2.5m or 1.0%) than the pcp (2015: $245.1m). 

In line with prior reporting periods, ANZ revenues from 
the Breville designed and developed products have 
continued to increase, being 11.2% higher than the 
pcp. The remaining revenues from ‘sourced products’ 
(internally referred to as ‘Breville Local’), which account 
for a greater proportion of total revenue, have declined 
given the competitive nature of this segment of the 
market. The price driven nature of this segment, 
coupled with discount retailers favouring their own home 
brands in the entry to mid-price points, contributed to 
the decline in revenue of this market segment.

Financial position

Working capital

The total investment in working capital ended $10.4m 
higher compared to that of the prior year, driven 
primarily by a decrease in trade and other payables.

Inventory balances at 30 June 2016 of $107.7m (2015: 
$108.3m) are $0.6m lower compared to the pcp and 
after excluding the translation effect at balance sheet 
date, are $1.9m lower. Likewise, inventory turns have 
improved. 

The Group implemented a global ‘sales and operations 
planning’ (S&OP) process during the second half of the 
2016 financial year. We are just beginning to see the 
benefits of this process change. We expect a majority of 
the benefit to be realised during the 2017 financial year.

The $10.3m reduction in trade payables compared to 
the prior year is primarily attributable to lower stock 
related purchases, a leading indicator of the S&OP 
process.

Receivables of $89.5m were flat compared to the prior 
year (2015: $88.7m). 

Net cash at 30 June 2016 was $36.1m compared 
to $32.8m at the same time last year. Net cash 
flow generated from operating activities of $52.3m 
was higher than the pcp (2015: $45.7m).

Capital expenditure

The Group has continued its investment in efficiency, 
cost improvement and revenue driving projects 
to support a larger and more geographically 
diverse business, including the global roll out of 
a single business application stack: Enterprise 
Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship 
Management (CRM), eCommerce and S&OP.

ANZ continued

EBIT for the year decreased to $16.6m (2015: $18.3m), 
with the overall EBIT margin decreasing from 7.5% in 
the prior year to 6.9%. EBIT for the second half of the 
year clawed back some of the shortfall reported in the 
first half by increasing to $5.3m from $2.1m in the pcp.

The overall EBIT margin was negatively impacted by 
the strengthened USD and the inability, due to market 
pressures, to process wholesale price increases across 
the entire range. The impact of the strong USD was 
partially offset by the sales mix shift towards the higher 
margin Breville designed and developed products and 
cost efficiency savings.

Rest of World

This segment comprises the Rest of the World 
distribution business supplied from Hong Kong as well 
as the Group’s UK business, which distributes Breville 
designed and developed products under company-
owned brand, Sage.

Total segment revenue in AUD increased by 4.3% to 
$82.3m (2015: $78.8m). In constant currency, segment 
revenues were less than the pcp, with lower Rest of 
World distribution business revenues only partly offset 
by higher UK business revenues, which increased by 
7.4%. 

Revenue in the Rest of World distribution business was 
negatively impacted by a number of our distribution 
partners’ markets being exposed to the effects of a 
strengthening USD, as well as specific issues affecting 
some of the markets in which our partners operate. 

The UK business has continued its solid performance 
with revenue in AUD growing by 15.2%. This increase 
has resulted from both an expanded customer base as 
well as a wider product range.

Reported EBIT of $22.1m (2015: $20.3m) was 8.4% 
higher than pcp. The segment EBIT margin improved to 
26.8% from 25.8% in the prior financial year, driven by a 
positive shift to higher margin products in both the Rest 
of World distribution business and the UK.

Other

The Group’s Other reporting segment includes the 
Group’s shared service facility, design and development 
and global marketing functions, as well as the 
depreciation/amortisation charge on Group assets 
including capitalised product development projects. 

The net change from the prior year is mainly 
attributable to higher employee related expenses 
(mainly the Group short term and long term 
incentive expense) and increased depreciation/
amortisation from new Group assets. These increases 
have been partially offset by an over-recovery of 
intra-group charges compared to the pcp.

Material business risks

The material business risks that may impact the achievement of the Group’s strategy and its future financial prospects 
are summarised below, together with key actions to mitigate these risks:

Risk

Nature of risk

Key actions to mitigate risk

Foreign exchange exposures

•  Transactional exposure as its 

•  The transactional and translational 

product purchases are primarily 
paid for in US dollars.

•  Translational exposure as 

its international earnings, a 
large portion of which are 
denominated in US dollars, are 
translated into Australian dollars 
for reporting purposes.

exposures are considered to result in 
a partial natural hedge from a Group 
perspective.

•  A weak Australian dollar is likely to 

have an adverse impact on the ANZ 
segment’s earnings (as a result of 
higher landed costs) but a positive 
impact on the translation of non-
Australian dollar denominated results.

•  Treasury policy requires hedging of a 
portion of expected purchases up to 
18 months in advance.

Adverse global economic 
conditions and consumer 
demand

•  Adverse changes to the general 
global economic and retail 
landscape and consumer 
sentiment in the principal 
markets in which the Group 
operates will impact its financial 
results.

•  The Group mitigates this risk by 
continued communication with 
consumers to gain greater insight 
into the changing world of food and 
beverage trends and by keeping 
abreast with global economic and 
consumer data and industry trends.

Margin risk

•  The highly competitive nature 

of the small domestic appliance 
market together with changes in 
manufacturing costs, including 
commodity prices, will have an 
impact on the Group’s financial 
results.

•  This risk is mitigated by protecting 
the Group’s intellectual property, 
brand building initiatives, introducing 
elements of variability into its cost 
structure and strengthening its long 
term supplier relationships.

Group strategies and prospects

During the year the Group has refined its 
strategic direction and has commenced the 
execution of its transformation program, focusing 
on the following key strategic pillars:

1) Transition into a global, innovation-driven 
product company

The Group is currently working on:

• 

Increasing the number of new global product 
releases;

•  Shortening development cycles and accelerating 

new product introductions; 

• 

Increasing the investment in R&D and marketing, 
which will be funded by cost efficiencies; and

•  Aligning the Group behind the two distinct go-

to-market models – ‘global’ and ‘local’.

In the current year progress has been made 
against product milestones as follows: 

•  A new innovative product, which will deliver the best 
quality outcome of any such product in its category,  
originally had a target release date of September 
2017. The Group has now successfully managed 
to bring this release date forward to October 2016. 

•  Structural changes made to the ANZ ‘product’ 
function, resulting in an integrated category 
management structure, will enable acceleration of 
new product introductions and better alignment of 
the product portfolio for both retailer and consumer 
needs.

Breville Group Limited annual report 2016

Operating and financial review continued
Group strategies and prospects continued

•  North American Nespresso machine partnership: 

This distribution will commence in the second half of 
the 2017 financial year.

2) Market expansion and optimisation

3) Scalable, global platform

The Group will focus on accelerating growth through 
increasing the size of its addressable market by:

• 

Improving go-to-market and geographic footprint 
effectiveness;

•  Expanding into new channels where appropriate, 

driving greater penetration into existing markets; and

•  Helping distribution partners grow more quickly. 

In the current year progress on market expansion and 
effectiveness was as follows:

•  Sales force effectiveness: Multi-country pilots were 

undertaken to identify opportunities and improve the 
go forward sales force approach.

•  Go-to-market: End-to-end re-architecture of the 
Group’s go-to-market process to embrace the 
omni-channel approach, enabling the support of 
consumers through each stage of their decision and 
post decision cycle.

•  Rest of World distributors: Market back pricing pilot 
was extended to other distributors and the future 
realignment of the supply chain is expected to 
overcome existing minimum order quantity (MOQ) 
challenges.

To support accelerated growth, the Group needs a 
corporate platform designed to scale efficiently and 
effectively. Delivering against this requirement, the Group 
is transitioning from its historical, decentralised structure 
into a functional, global model, and, where appropriate, 
up-skilling key capabilities. A scalable, global platform 
will require the granular management of global product 
flow (inventory management) and the need for a Group-
wide business application stack, giving 360° visibility of 
our customers and common visibility across the Group 
(ERP, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), 
eCommerce, S&OP).

During the second half of the 2016 financial year, the 
Group implemented a S&OP process and the ERP 
system in Canada become operational with the USA to 
follow in September 2016. 

The roll out of the remaining Group-wide business 
application stack (ERP, CRM, eCommerce) is expected 
to be completed by the end of the 2017 financial year. 

Further scalability is anticipated through the 
establishment of a consolidation warehouse in China, 
which is expected to be operational by February 2017. 

Our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility 

The Group is committed to ethical, responsible and sustainable conduct across the entire business and 
acknowledges the importance of respecting our stakeholders, including employees, shareholders, customers  
and suppliers.

People

The Group enjoys the benefits of a highly experienced 
and talented team across all departments and 
geographies. Integrated throughout its food thinking 
culture, the passion, creativity and insight of staff has 
helped to consistently deliver world-class innovative 
products to consumers. The team continues to be 
awarded both domestically and internationally, with 
multiple design awards, and recognition through 
mainstream media. 

The Group invests in the training and education of its 
team, building strong, collaborative links with world 
experts in food thinking and technology. 

Strongly committed to its core values of creativity, 

simplicity, insight and excellence in all departments, 
the Group recruits, trains, assesses and rewards 
employees on this basis. With a team anchored around 
these common values, the business is able to foster a 
workplace that stimulates idea generation, a passion for 
learning, and the continuous search for new and better 
solutions. 

The Group advocates diversity in its workforce, 
recognising the insight and creativity that it brings to the 
business. At the end of the year, Breville employed over 
500 staff across seven countries. The Group believes 
that it is important for all team members to enjoy a 
workplace which is free from any form of discrimination; 
strongly supporting gender, age, sexual orientation, 
disability and cultural diversity at work.

Ensuring a safe workplace is another business 
commitment and the Group culture encourages 
all employees to be responsible for all aspects of 
health and safety and employees participate in 
regular work health and safety audits. At Minto, 
the Group’s state of the art warehouse in Australia, 
operator safety was one of the key drivers of design, 
including a pedestrian rail and guard system. The 
Group is committed to reducing hazards and co-
ordinating active safety committees at each site.

Environment

Energy, packaging and waste are our key environmental 
impact areas. The Group is striving to incorporate 
sustainable decisions into operational facilities such 
as the new head office in Australia, which has been 
operational for the full year, and has a number of energy 
efficient features to reduce energy usage including 
movement and light sensors to minimise use of lighting, 
limitations/timers on plant use (air conditioning, heating) 
and measurement of power usage. In the Group’s 
Australian warehouse, lighting power consumption 
has been reduced significantly through the very 
successful daylight harvesting program which provides 
excellent natural lighting. The Group will continue its 
focus and investment on energy efficient operations.

In Australia, the Group is a committed signatory to the 
Australian Packaging Covenant, a voluntary agreement 
between government and industry which provides a 
framework for the reduction of the potential impact 
of products, packaging and warehouse operations 
on the environment. The Group integrates actions 
and goals into existing business systems so that 
sustainable packaging considerations become ‘just 
how we do business’. Success is being achieved 
via cross functional teams working together to 
implement the Group’s Sustainable Packaging Policy. 

The Group has implemented improved waste 
reduction and recycling practices including recycling 
of cardboard, paper, plastics and organic waste.

Business

Ethical sourcing

The Group is committed to conducting business in a 
socially responsible manner and managing its business 
to reflect high ethical and moral values. The Group 
expects that its supply partners will not be a party 
to any violation of basic Human Rights including:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

freedom from discrimination

freedom from slavery or servitude

freedom of movement

freedom of expression

freedom of thought.

20

Breville Group Limited annual report 2016

The Group expects its supply partners to respect and 
adhere to the same philosophy in the operation and 
management of their businesses and reserves the right 
not to do business with vendors that do not share and 
demonstrate commitment to compliance with local and 
internationally accepted labour and employment laws. 

The Group has an ethical sourcing policy which 
includes an ethical sourcing requirements code 
(‘code’) which sets out the minimum requirements 
and expectations that all vendors, including sub-
contractors engaged by vendors, must comply with. 
The code specifies compliance in areas such as:

•  wages, benefit policies (including 
transparent record keeping)

•  child labour

•  working hours

• 

forced and bonded labour

•  discrimination

•  harrassment and abuse

• 

freedom of association

•  health and safety 

•  environmental practices

•  business integrity. 

The company has zero tolerance for the use of child 
labour, prison labour or forced labour in the manufacture 
of its products. 

Suppliers are required to contractually recognise 
the code and acknowledge their acceptance of its 
requirements. New key suppliers are required to 
undergo an independent audit to verify that they are in 
compliance with local laws and safety conditions.

Factory visits are conducted by senior management 
on a regular basis. The Group also uses internationally 
recognised independent audit firms to verify compliance 
with local laws and safety conditions at selected 
vendors and compliance with the Breville Group ethical 
sourcing policy. Any violations of the Breville Group code 
are reported to the vendor for follow up and corrective 
action. Where the Group requires zero tolerance or 
where the vendor or factory does not demonstrate a 
willingness to comply, the Group reserves the right to 
discontinue doing business with the vendor/factory.

The Group recognises the difficulties in dealing with 
a large and complex supply chain and therefore is 
dedicated to integrating ethics into its core business 
practices and continuously investing in its ethical 
sourcing program.

Product responsibility

The Group takes pride in the quality of its products. The 
Group has extensive compliance processes in place 
to ensure that its products are safe and compliant with 
labelling and safety requirements in relevant markets.

Anti-bribery and corruption

The Group is committed to operating in a manner 
consistent with the laws of the jurisdictions in which its 
businesses operate, including those relating to anti-
bribery and corruption. Honesty, integrity and trust 
are considered integral to the ethos of the Group, its 
products and its brands. Conduct associated with 
bribery and corruption is inconsistent with these values. 
Accordingly, the Group adopts a “zero tolerance” 
approach in relation to these matters.

The Group has an anti-bribery policy which, 
in conjunction with the code of conduct and 
whistleblowing policy, sets out the responsibilities of 
all the Group’s employees (including contractors) and 
directors with regard to dealing with outside parties 
and prohibits all Group personnel in all jurisdictions in 
which the company operates or conducts commercial 
activities, from engaging in any activity that constitutes 
bribery or corruption and other improper inducements 
and/or payments.

In order to ensure that these values and the policy 
are properly adhered to, the Group has appointed an 
Anti-Bribery Compliance Officer who is responsible for 
monitoring the application of this policy.

2. Remuneration policy and link to 
performance

The people and performance committee of the board 
of directors of the company is responsible for reviewing 
and recommending to the board executive and 
employee remuneration arrangements and executive 
succession as set out in the people and performance 
committee charter.

The committee reviews and determines the 
remuneration policy and structure annually to ensure it 
remains aligned to strategic goals and meets company 
remuneration principles. The group chief executive 
officer makes recommendations to the people and 
performance committee for consideration. From time 
to time the committee may also engage external 
remuneration consultants to assist with this review. No 
such external consultants were engaged for the year 
ended 30 June 2016. 

The proportion of the fixed compensation and variable 
compensation (potential short term and long term 
incentives) is established for each executive by the 
people and performance committee and approved by 
the board.

In particular, the board aims to ensure that remuneration 
practices:

•  Provide competitive total rewards (for fixed and 

variable compensation) to attract and retain high 
calibre employees;

•  Link reward to sustained growth in shareholder 

value from dividends and growth in share price and 
the delivery of a consistent return on assets;

•  Link rewards with the strategic goals and 

performance of the company; 

•  Reinforce a competitive business strategy to deliver 

organisational success and enhanced shareholder 
value; and

•  Provide transparency and are easily understood. 

Employment contracts are entered into with executives. 
Details of the contracts are provided on page 28.

Prohibition on hedging by key management 
personnel

The Group has adopted a policy which prohibits 
key management personnel and their closely related 
parties from entering into an arrangement that has the 
effect of limiting the exposure of a member of the key 
management personnel to risk relating to an element of 
that member’s compensation. The policy complies with 
the requirements of s.206J of the Corporations  
Act 2001.

Balancing short-term and long-term performance

Sustainability of results is encouraged via long term incentives which are assessed using an absolute TSR hurdle over 
a two, three or four year period and are designed to promote long term stability in shareholder returns.

The target remuneration mix for FY16 is shown in table 2 below. It reflects the STI opportunity for the current year that 
will be available if the performance conditions are satisfied at target, and the value of the performance rights granted 
during the year, as determined at the grant date.

Assessing performance and cancellation of unvested performance rights

The people and performance committee is responsible for assessing performance against KPIs and determining the 
STI and LTI to be awarded. To assist in this assessment, the committee receives detailed reports on performance 
from management which are based on independently verifiable data.

In the event of fraudulent or dishonest misconduct, the board may deem any unvested rights to have lapsed.

3. Detailed elements of remuneration

i) Fixed annual remuneration

Executives receive their fixed remuneration in cash or other non-cash benefits. Fixed remuneration is reviewed 
annually by the people and performance committee, or on role change. The committee reviews company and 
individual performance, relevant comparative market compensation, considers internal relativities and, where 
appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.

ii) Short term incentives (STI)

The Group operates an annual STI program available to executives and other employees and awards a cash 
incentive subject to attainment of clearly defined Group and business unit objectives.

Who participates?

Executives and other employees

How is STI 
delivered?

What is the STI 
opportunity?

Cash

Executives and other employees are eligible for an annual incentive of 
between 20% and 50% of fixed or base annual remuneration. The incentive 
payment is based on the achievement of financial objectives which if 
satisfied, apply a multiplier in accordance with a sliding scale.

What are the 
performance 
conditions for each 
financial year?

The STI rewards executives and other employees for their contribution 
to achievement of Group financial outcomes. Actual STI payments are 
awarded to each executive or employee depending on the extent to which 
specific financial key performance indicators (“KPI’s”) are met.

How is performance 
assessed?

Regardless of achievement of other KPI’s, if the Group net profit before 
tax hurdle is not achieved, no STI is payable. Other financial KPI’s 
are specific to each participant, depending on their role.

Financial performance measures were chosen as they represent the key drivers for short 
term success of the business and provide a framework for providing long-term value.

At the end of the financial year and after consideration of performance against KPI’s:

• 

• 

the people and performance committee recommends the amount of STI 
to be paid to the group chief executive officer for board approval; and

for the other executives and employees, the people and performance committee 
will seek recommendations from the group chief executive officer as appropriate.

The group chief executive officer may recommend to the people and performance 
committee and the board, discretionary bonuses to recognise and reward 
key contributions from high performing executives and employees.

iii) Long term incentives (LTI) 

The objective of the LTI plan is to reward executives and other employees in a manner that aligns this 
element of compensation with the creation of shareholder value.

Who participates?

How is LTI 
delivered?

What is the LTI 
opportunity?

The LTI plan is only made available to executives and other employees (‘participants’) who 
are able to influence the generation of shareholder value and have a direct impact on the 
company’s performance against relevant long-term performance hurdles.

LTI grants to participants (excluding the group chief executive officer) are recommended 
by the group chief executive officer to the people and performance committee. This 
recommendation, together with a recommendation by the people and performance 
committee of an LTI grant to the group chief executive officer, is then put to the board for 
approval.

Upon satisfaction of the performance hurdles, the performance rights will vest and be 
converted into fully paid ordinary shares in the company.

Depending upon their position and seniority in the organisation, executives and other 
employees are eligible for an annual LTI award of between 20% - 50% of their fixed annual 
remuneration.

What are the 
performance 
hurdles for the FY16 
LTI grant?

Historically the LTI plan was subject to an EPS hurdle, however for the FY16 LTI grant, the 
Group uses TSR as the performance measure for the LTI plan, applying both an absolute 
and relative test. 

The absolute test requires that over the testing period, the TSR needs to be positive. If the 
TSR is negative over the testing period then the performance rights lapse. 

If the TSR is positive, the Group then uses a relative TSR compared to a predetermined 
peer group. 

The Group’s percentile TSR performance is determined according to the Group’s TSR 
performance ranking against the companies in the TSR peer group over each tranche’s 
performance period. 

The vesting schedule is as follows:

The Group (BRG) TSR performance 
ranking relative to peer group

Proportion of performance rights that 
will vest

Below 51st percentile

51st percentile

Between 51st and 75th percentile

0%

50%

Pro rata between 50% and 100%, based 
on the relative TSR performance

75th percentile and above

100%

Each tranche of the above performance award will be measured independently. If any 
tranche does not achieve its vesting conditions, that tranche shall lapse but this shall not 
preclude the other tranches from vesting should their respective performance conditions 
be met.

The absolute positive TSR was selected to ensure that absolute wealth creation is always 
aligned between shareholders and executives. Relative TSR was selected as the LTI 
performance measure as TSR provides alignment between comparative shareholder return 
and reward for executives.

In addition to the grant of performance rights with a TSR hurdle, certain performance 
rights were granted where the performance condition is continuing employment with the 
company to vesting date.

TSR is calculated by an independent external adviser at the end of each performance 
period. Table 9 on page 33 provides details of the KMP performance rights under  
this plan.

performance be 
assessed for the 
FY16 LTI grant?

iii) Long term incentives (LTI) continued

When does the FY16 
LTI vest?

The TSR performance rights will vest over a period of four years, with each tranche, which 
comprises 33% of the total award, required to meet its performance measures applying 
both an absolute test and a relative test as follows:

a)  Total shareholder return (TSR) from 30 June 2015 to 30 June 2017 

b)  Total shareholder return (TSR) from 30 June 2015 to 30 June 2018 

c)  Total shareholder return (TSR) from 30 June 2015 to 30 June 2019

Performance rights, where the performance condition is continuing employment with the 
company to vesting date, vest on the following dates:

a)  Participant must be employed on 31 December 2018

b)  Participant must be employed on 25 January 2019

c)  Participant must be employed on 25 January 2020

If the performance hurdle is not met, any unvested performance rights will lapse unless 
otherwise determined by the board. 

Generally, all outstanding unvested performance rights are forfeited upon an executive 
ceasing to be employed by the Group. 

The board has the discretion to allow a participant to exercise their performance rights 
without satisfying the employment condition. 

The participant cannot sell, dispose, encumber or trade in performance shares without the 
prior written consent of the board until the earlier of:

a)  2 years after the date of issue, transfer or allocation; 

b)  12 months after the date of cessation of employment; or

c)  Such other date as the board determines.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any trading in performance shares shall at all times be 
subject to the company’s share trading policy.

Participants do not receive distributions or dividends on unvested performance rights.

In the event of a takeover bid where the bidder and its associates become entitled to at 
least 50% of the voting shares of the company, any performance rights granted will vest 
where the board, in its absolute discretion, is satisfied that pro rata performance is in line 
with any performance condition applicable to those performance rights. Any performance 
rights which do not vest will immediately lapse, unless otherwise determined by the board.

How are grants 
treated on 
termination?

Are there 
restrictions 
on disposal of 
performance shares 
following the vesting 
and exercise of FY16 
performance rights?

Do participants 
receive dividends 
on unvested 
performance rights?

What happens if 
there is a change of 
control?

Statutory performance indicators

The objective is to align executive remuneration to the Group’s strategic and business objectives and the creation 
of shareholder wealth. Table 4 below shows measures of the Group’s performance over the last 5 years as required 
by the Corporations Act 2001. However these are not necessarily consistent with the measures used in determining 
the variable amounts of remuneration to be awarded to executives. As a consequence, there may not always be 
a direct correlation between the statutory key performance measures and the variable remuneration awarded.

The Group annual FY16 STI has financial targets based on Group net profit before tax and Group gross profit. LTI has 
historically contained an EPS hurdle, however the performance rights awarded this financial year use either TSR as 
the performance measure or they are based on a continuing employment condition.

5. Contractual arrangements of key management personnel

None of the key management personnel have fixed term employment contracts. Amounts payable on termination 
vary from a minimum statutory entitlement to a maximum of 12 months based on a calculation of total fixed 
remuneration (which includes base salary, superannuation and allowances (if applicable)). In accordance with the 
terms of the performance rights plan, any performance rights not vested at the date of termination will be forfeited 
and shall lapse, unless otherwise determined by the board.

6. Non-executive director compensation

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive 
compensation is separate and distinct.

Objective

The board seeks to set compensation at a level which provides the company with the ability to attract and retain 
directors of high calibre whilst maintaining a level commensurate with companies of a similar size and type.

Structure

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate compensation of non-executive directors 
shall be determined from time to time by general meeting. The aggregate compensation of $950,000 per year was 
approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting held in November 2010.

The compensation of non-executive directors is reviewed annually. Each director receives a fee for being a director 
of the company. An additional fee is also paid to each director who also acts as chairman of a board committee. The 
payment of additional fees for acting as chairman of a committee recognises the additional time commitment required 
by the director to facilitate the running of the committee.

The compensation of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2016 is detailed in Table 5 on page 29 of 
this report.

due to PricewaterhouseCoopers negligent, wrongful 
or wilful acts or omissions. No payments have

Likely developments and  
expected results

Disclosure of information as to likely developments in 
the operations of the consolidated entity and expected 
results of those operations would be prejudicial to the 
interests of the consolidated entity. Accordingly, such 
information has not been included in this report.

Environmental regulations and 
performance

The consolidated entity is not involved in any 
activities that have a marked influence on the 
environment within its area of operation.

Corporate governance

In recognising the need for the highest standards of 
corporate behaviour and accountability, the directors 
of Breville Group Limited support the principles 
of good corporate governance. The company’s 
corporate governance statement is on page 37.

Performance rights

Unissued shares

As at the date of this report there were 1,040,400 
potential unissued shares under the performance 
rights. At the reporting date, there were 696,700 
potential unissued shares under performance rights 
(2015: 558,000). Refer to note 18 of the financial 
report for further details of the performance rights 
outstanding. Performance right holders do not 
have any right, by virtue of the performance right, 
to participate in any share issue of the company.

Lapse of unvested performance rights

During the year, 46,000 unvested performance 
rights lapsed following the cessation of employment 
of employees or executives and 180,000 unvested 
performance rights lapsed as performance 
hurdles were not met. (2015: 180,000 unvested 
performance rights lapsed following the cessation

Auditor’s declaration of independence

Attached on page 89 is a copy of the auditor’s 
declaration provided under section 307C of the 
Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit 
for the year ended 30 June 2016. This auditor’s 
declaration forms part of this directors’ report.

Non-audit services

During the financial year ended 30 June 2016 
the company’s auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers 
provided non-audit services to Breville Group 
entities. Details of the amounts paid to the auditor 
PricewaterhouseCoopers, for the provision of non-
audit services during the year ended 30 June 2016 
are set out in Note 20. These services primarily 
relate to tax compliance and advisory services.

In accordance with the recommendation from the audit 
and risk committee of the company, the directors are 
satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services 
during the year is compatible with the general standard 
of independence imposed by the Corporations Act. 
Also, in accordance with the recommendation from 
the audit and risk committee, the directors are satisfied 
that the nature and scope of each type of non-audit 
service provided means that auditor independence 
was not compromised. The auditors have also 
provided the audit and risk committee with a report 
confirming that, in their professional judgement, they 
have maintained their independence in accordance 
with the firm’s requirements, the provisions of APES 
110 Code for Ethics for Professional Accountants and 
the applicable provisions of the Corporations Act.

Significant events after year end

No matters or circumstances have arisen since the 
end of the year which significantly affected or may 
affect the operations of the consolidated entity.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors.

The company secretary is directly accountable to the 
board on all matters relating to the proper functioning of 
the board.

Diversity policy

The company is an equal opportunity employer and 
values differences such as gender, age, culture, 
disability, ethnicity and lifestyle choices. The company’s 
diversity policy aims to ensure a corporate culture that 
supports workplace diversity whilst providing access to 
equal opportunities at work based on merit. This policy 
is available on the company’s website at the corporate, 
corporate governance section and is subject to 
periodic review by, and may be changed by resolution 
of the board. The policy has no contractual effect.

Diversity policy objectives

The objectives set by the board in accordance with  
the diversity policy and progress towards achieving 
them are:

•  Representation of women trained in recruitment 

and selection panels: Ongoing progress was made 
during the year with further women being trained;

• 

Issuing the company equal opportunity 
statement to recruiting agencies: This 
continued in Australia during the year;

•  Explicit requirement of recruiting agencies to 

provide a gender balance of suitable, qualified, 
shortlisted candidates for interview: This initiative 
continued to progress during the year;

•  Promoting a safe workplace free from harassment 

or discrimination of any kind: Training and education 
programs which included topics on harassment, 
bullying, victimisation and discrimination were 
conducted in Australia and the USA during the year;

•  Enhancing the gender balance in career 

development in senior and managerial roles; and

•  Continue flexible working arrangements 

where operationally appropriate.

Senior executives are direct reports to the CEO or a 
business unit manager. Senior roles include senior 
executives and direct reports to senior executives or 
other employees with a strategically important role.

To assist the board in fulfilling its responsibilities in 
relation to diversity, the implementation of these 
objectives is overseen by the people and performance 
committee.

The people and performance committee shall:

• 

• 

report to the board at least annually, on 
the company’s progress in achieving the 
objectives set for achieving gender diversity;

regularly oversee a review of the relative 
proportion of women across the company 
and their relative positions; and

•  consider other initiatives to promote 

diversity in the workplace.

Workplace equality

In accordance with the requirements of the 
Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 (Act), Breville 
Pty Limited lodged its annual compliance report 
with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. This 
report is available on the company’s website at 
the corporate, corporate governance section.

Evaluating the performance of the board

The chairman is responsible for evaluating the board’s 
performance by way of an annual internal assessment. 
Each director provides written feedback in relation to 
the performance of the board and directors against 
a set of agreed criteria. This feedback is reported by 
the chairman to the board following the assessment. 
This performance assessment was completed by the 
chairman during the year.

38

Breville Group Limited annual report 2016

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for 
management and oversight continued

Evaluating the performance of key executives

The performance of key executives is reviewed against 
specific and measurable qualitative and quantitative 
performance criteria and includes:

• 

financial measures of the company’s performance;

•  development and achievement of strategic 

objectives;

•  development of management and staff;

•  compliance with legislative and company policy 

requirements; and

•  achievement of key performance indicators.

Performance evaluation

All key executives were subject to a performance review 
as described above during the reporting period.

Principle 2: Structure the board to  
add value

Board composition

The company’s constitution states that there must be 
a minimum of three directors and contains detailed 
provisions concerning the tenure of directors. The 
board currently comprises six non-executive directors. 
The directors’ report, on pages 14 and 15, outlines 
the relevant skills, experience and expertise held by 
each director in office at the date of this report. 

In accordance with good corporate governance, 
where the chairman of the board is not an independent 
director, the board considers it to be useful and 
appropriate to designate an independent director to 
serve in a lead capacity to co-ordinate the activities of 
the other independent directors, including acting as 
principal liaison between the independent directors 
and the chairman and representing the board as the 
lead independent director when the chairman is unable 
to do so because of his non independent status.

As Mr Fisher is not an independent director, the board 
has appointed Mr Myers as its lead independent 
director.

Director independence

In considering whether a director is independent, the 
board refers to the company’s “Criteria for assessing 
independence of directors” at the corporate, corporate 
governance section of the company’s website, which 
is consistent with the council’s recommendations. 
Independent directors of the company are those 
that are not involved in the day-to-day management 
of the company and are free from any real or 
reasonably perceived business or other relationship 
that could materially interfere with the exercise of 
their unfettered and independent judgement.

In accordance with the definition of independence 
above, and the materiality thresholds outlined in the 
company’s policy ‘Criteria for assessing independence 
of directors’, it is the board’s view that Mr Dean Howell 
and Mr Lawrence Myers are independent directors. 
The following directors are not independent directors:

•  Mr Steven Fisher (non-executive chairman) 
is employed by an entity associated with a 
substantial shareholder of the company; 

•  Mr Timothy Antonie (non-executive director) is a 
non-executive director of Premier Investments 
Ltd, a substantial shareholder of the company; 

•  Ms Sally Herman (non-executive director) is a 

non-executive director of Premier Investments Ltd, 
a substantial shareholder of the company; and

•  Mr Steven Klein (non-executive director) is a 

principal of SBA Law which is a professional adviser 
to the company.

Regardless of whether directors are defined as 
independent, all directors are expected to bring 
independent views and judgement to board 
deliberations.

Material personal interest requirement

The Corporations Act provides that unless agreed by 
the board, where any director has a material personal 
interest in a matter, the director will not be permitted to 
be present during discussions, or to vote on the matter.

Access to independent advice

There are procedures in place to enable directors, in 
connection with their duties and responsibilities as 
directors, to seek independent professional advice at 
the expense of the company. Prior written approval of 
the chairman is required, which will not be unreasonably 
withheld.

Board committees

The board has established the audit and risk committee 
and people and performance committee to assist 
in the execution of its duties and to allow detailed 
consideration of complex issues. The composition of 
these committees is shown on page 35. 

Breville Group Limited annual report 2016

Corporate governance statement
continued

Principle 2: Structure the board to  
add value continued

Nomination committee

During the year ended 30 June 2016, the company 
did not have a separately established nomination 
committee.

All duties and responsibilities typically delegated 
to such a committee are the responsibility of the 
full board. Although the council’s recommendation 
2.1 recommends that a nomination committee 
can be a more efficient mechanism for the detailed 
examination of selection and appointment practices, 
particularly in larger companies, the board does 
not believe at this time that any marked efficiencies 
or enhancements would be achieved by the 
creation of a separate nomination committee. 

The board brings independent judgement to 
decisions regarding the composition of the board. 
The process of recruiting a new director includes the 
evaluation of relevant skills, knowledge, experience, 
independence and diversity. The board endeavours 
to ensure appropriate succession planning, 
both at a board and senior executive level. 

Among its responsibilities, the A&RC:

•  ensures that company accounting policies 

and practices are in accordance with current 
and emerging accounting standards;

• 

• 

reviews all accounts of the group 
to be publicly released;

recommends to the board the appointment 
and remuneration of the external auditors;

• 

reviews the scope of external audits;

•  assesses the performance and independence 

of the external auditors, including 
procedures governing partner rotation;

• 

reviews corporate governance practices; 

•  monitors and assesses the systems for 
internal compliance and control, legal 
compliance and risk management; and

• 

reviews and carries out an annual assessment of 
the company’s risk management framework.

Composition of committee

The members of the A&RC as at 
the date of this report are:

•  Mr Lawrence Myers (chairman)

Principle 3: Promote ethical and 
responsible decision making

•  Mr Dean Howell

•  Mr Steven Klein

Code of conduct

The board has formally adopted a code of conduct 
(“code”) for all employees (including directors). 
The code aims at maintaining the highest ethical 
standards, corporate behaviour and accountability 
across the group. These obligations are also 
consistent with the duties imposed on directors 
by the Corporations Act. In addition, directors are 
obliged to be independent in judgement and to 
ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to be 
satisfied as to the soundness of board decisions.

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in 
financial reporting

Audit and risk committee

The board has an audit and risk committee (A&RC), 
which operates under a charter approved by the 
board. It is the board’s responsibility to ensure that 
an effective internal control framework exists within 
the consolidated entity. This includes internal controls 
to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of 
significant business processes, the safeguarding of 
assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records 
and the reliability of financial information. The board 
has delegated the responsibility for the establishment 
and maintenance of a framework of internal control 
and ethical standards of the company to the A&RC.

Effective 16 December 2015, Mr Steven Klein was 
appointed to the A&RC. The directors’ report, on 
page 35, outlines the number of A&RC meetings 
held during the year and the names of the attendees 
at those meetings. It also outlines the qualifications 
of A&RC members on pages 14 and 15.

The group chief executive officer; company secretary; 
group chief financial officer; the external auditors 
and any other persons considered appropriate may 
attend meetings of the A&RC by invitation. The 
committee also meets from time to time with the 
external auditors independent of management.

In accordance with the council’s recommendation 
4.2, the A&RC is structured so that it:

•  comprises only non-executive directors;

• 

is chaired by an independent chair, 
who is not chair of the board; and

•  has at least three members.

In accordance with the council’s recommendation 
4.2 the group chief executive officer and group 
chief financial officer provided the board with a 
written declaration confirming that the declaration 
provided in accordance with section 295A of the 
Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of 
risk management and internal control and that the 
system operated effectively in all material respects.

Breville Group Limited annual report 2016

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced 
disclosure

The company’s continuous disclosure policy 
complies with the council’s recommendation 5.1. 
This policy is available on the company’s website 
at the corporate, corporate governance section.

Principle 6: Respect the rights of 
shareholders

Communication policy

The company is committed to providing all 
shareholders with comprehensive, timely and equal 
access to information about its activities to enable 
them to make informed investment decisions. 
The company’s shareholder communication 
policy is available on the company’s website at 
the corporate, corporate governance section. 

Electronic communication

The company’s website displays recent ASX 
announcements and contains information about the 
company.

Shareholders can elect to receive communications 
from the company’s share registry electronically 
which also gives shareholders the opportunity 
to manage their account details and holdings 
electronically. Shareholders are also able to send 
communications to the company and receive 
responses to these communications electronically.

Briefings

•  policies and procedures which enable management 

of the company’s material business risks;

• 

formal strategic planning sessions; and

•  presentation of periodic reports to the board 

and the A&RC identifying items that represent 
a potential risk and the manner in which these 
are being managed and responded to.

The company does not have an internal audit 
function and management is ultimately responsible 
to the board for the system of internal control 
and risk management and has reported to the 
board as to the effectiveness of the company’s 
management of its material business risks. The 
A&RC assists the board in monitoring this function.

During the year ended 30 June 2016, the company 
did not have a separately established risk committee. 
All duties and responsibilities typically delegated 
to such a committee are the responsibility of the 
full board, with assistance from the A&RC.

The Group’s exposure to economic, environmental 
and social sustainability risks, together with how these 
risks are managed, are detailed in the Operating and 
Financial Review section of the Directors report.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and 
responsibly

People and performance committee

The board has a people and performance 
committee, comprising the following 
directors as at the date of this report:

•  Mr Timothy Antonie (acting chairman)

The company keeps a record of briefings held with 
investors and analysts, including a record of those 
present and the time and place of the meeting.

•  Mr Dean Howell

•  Mr Lawrence Myers

In accordance with the council’s recommendation 
8.1, the people and performance committee 
comprises at least three members.

For details on the number of meetings of the 
people and performance committee held during 
the year and the attendees at those meetings, 
refer to the directors’ report on page 35.

Remuneration disclosure

For details of the company’s remuneration philosophy 
and framework, and the remuneration received 
by directors and executives in the current period, 
please refer to the remuneration report contained 
in the directors’ report on pages 21 to 34. 

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

The company is committed to the identification, 
monitoring and management of risks associated 
with its business activities including financial, 
operational, compliance, ethical conduct, brand 
and product quality risks. The company has 
embedded in its management and reporting 
systems a number of risk management controls. 

These include:

•  guidelines and limits for approval 

of capital expenditure;

•  policies and procedures for the management 
of financial risk and treasury operations 
including exposures to foreign currencies 
and movements in interest rates; 

•  annual budgeting and monthly reporting 

systems for all businesses which enable the 
monitoring of progress against performance 
targets and the evaluation of trends;

for the year ended 30 June 2016

Key numbers
Note 1. Summary of significant 
accounting policies 

Breville Group Limited is a for profit company limited 
by shares incorporated in Australia. Breville Group 
Limited shares are quoted on the Australian Securities 
Exchange. 

This financial report covers the consolidated entity 
comprising Breville Group Limited and its subsidiaries 
(company or group).

A description of the group’s operations and of its 
principal activities is included in the operating and 
financial review in the directors’ report on pages 15 to 
21. The directors’ report is unaudited (except for the 
remuneration report) and does not form part of the 
financial report.

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial 
report, which has been prepared in accordance with 
the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and 
Australian Accounting Standards. 

The financial report has also been prepared on a 
historical cost basis, except for derivative financial 
instruments which have been measured at fair value. 

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars 
and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand 
dollars ($’000) unless otherwise stated under the option 
available to the company under ASIC Corporations 
(Rounding in Financial/Directors Reports) Instrument 
2016/191. The company is an entity to which the class 
order applies. 

Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified 
and repositioned for consistency with current year 
disclosures.

(b) Statement of compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting 
Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board and International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the group 
has control. The group controls an entity when the 
group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns 
from its involvement with the entity and has the ability 
to affect those returns through its power to direct 
the activities of the entity. The existence and effect of 
potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or 
convertible are considered when assessing whether the 
group controls another entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for 
the same reporting period, using consistent accounting 
policies.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all 
inter-group balances and transactions, income and 
expenses and profit and loss resulting from intra-group 
transactions have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on 
which control is obtained by the group and cease to 
be consolidated from the date on which control is 
transferred out of the group. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using 
the purchase method of accounting. The purchase 
method of accounting involves allocating the cost 
of the business combination to the fair value of 
assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent 
liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. 

(d) Significant accounting judgements, 
estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are 
often determined based on estimates and assumptions 
of future events. The key estimates and assumptions 
that have a significant risk of causing a material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets 
and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Impairment of goodwill & intangibles with 
indefinite useful lives

The group determines whether goodwill and intangibles 
with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least on 
an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the 
recoverable amount of the cash generating units to 
which the goodwill and intangibles with indefinite 
useful lives are allocated. The assumptions used in 
this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying 
amount of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful 
lives are discussed in note 10.

(c) Basis of consolidation

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated financial statements comprise the 
financial statements of Breville Group Limited and its 
subsidiaries as at 30 June each year.

The group measures the cost of equity-settled 
transactions with employees by reference to the fair 
value of the equity instruments at the date at which they 
are granted. The fair value is determined by an external 
valuer using either the Black-Scholes or Monte-Carlo 
option pricing model, using the assumptions detailed in 
note 18.

48

Breville Group Limited annual report 2016

Note 2. Operating segments

Operating segments

The group has identified its operating segments in 
line with AASB 8 Operating Segments based on 
the internal reports that are reviewed by the chief 
operating decision makers (group chief executive officer 
and board of directors) in assessing performance 
and in determining the allocation of resources.

The North America Distribution and ANZ Distribution 
operating segments distribute primarily small electrical 
appliances to retail customers in their geographical 
locations. The Rest of World operating segment 
distributes small electrical appliances to distributors in 
international locations and also to retailers in the UK.

Other is not an operating segment and comprises 
the short term incentive plan and group’s shared 
service facility, including the group’s design 
and development, global marketing and supply 
chain functions as well as the depreciation and 
amortisation charge on group assets including 
capitalised product development projects.

Transfer prices between operating segments are 
set at arm’s length basis in a manner similar to 
transactions with third parties. The segment revenue 
and segment result include certain transactions 
between segments. Those transfers are eliminated 
on consolidation. Segment earnings before income 
tax (‘EBIT’) includes certain transfer prices and 
includes an allocation of head office costs.

Note 1. Summary of significant 
accounting policies continued

(d) Significant accounting judgements, 
estimates and assumptions continued

Taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation 
of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, 
and the amount and timing of future taxable 
income. Given the wide range of international 
business relationships and the long-term nature 
and complexity of existing contractual agreements, 
differences arising between the actual results and 
the assumptions made, or future changes to such 
assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments 
to tax income and expense already recorded.

The group establishes provisions, based on reasonable 
estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the 
tax authorities of the respective countries in which it 
operates. The amount of such provisions is based on 
various factors, such as experience of previous tax 
audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations 
by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. 
Such differences of interpretation may arise on a 
wide variety of issues depending on the conditions 
prevailing in the respective group company’s domicile. 
As the group assesses the probability for litigation and 
subsequent cash outflow with respect to taxes as 
remote, no contingent liability has been recognised.

Warranty and faulty goods

Provision for warranty and faulty goods is recognised 
at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the 
group’s best estimate of the expenditure required 
to settle the group’s liability. Factors that could 
impact the estimated claim information include 
the success of the group’s productivity and quality 
initiatives, as well as parts and labour costs. The 
related carrying amounts are disclosed in note 6.

(e) Notes to the financial statements

The notes to the financial statements have been 
restructured to make the financial report more 
relevant and readable, with a focus on information 
that is material to the operations, financial 
position and performance of the group.

Notes relating to individual line items in the financial 
statements now include accounting policy information 
where it is considered relevant to an understanding of 
these items. Details of the impact of new accounting 
policies and all other accounting policy information 
are disclosed in note 23 of the financial report.

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the 
economic benefits will flow to the group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition 
criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer 
and can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards are considered passed to the buyer at the earlier of delivery of the 
goods or the transfer of legal title to the buyer. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or 
receivable, net of returns, allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.

(ii) Commission income

Where an agency relationship exists, the amount included in revenue represents the commission received or 
receivable.

(iii) Finance costs/income

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective 
interest, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the 
financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense  
when incurred.

Note 4. Income tax 

The major components of income tax expense are:

Income statement

Current income tax

Current income tax charge

Adjustments in respect of current income tax of previous years

Deferred income tax

Relating to the origination and reversal of temporary differences

Total income tax expense reported in the income statement

Statement of changes in equity

Deferred income tax related to items charged or credited directly to 
other comprehensive income

Foreign currency translation differences

Employee equity benefits reserve

Net (loss)/gain on revaluation of cash flow hedges

Income tax benefit reported in other comprehensive income

A reconciliation between tax expense and the product of accounting profit 
before income tax multiplied by the parent entity’s applicable income tax 
rate is as follows:

Profit before income tax

At the parent entity’s statutory income tax rate of 30% (2015: 30%)

•  adjustments in respect of current income tax of previous years

•  effect of different rates of tax on overseas income

•  expenditure not allowable for income tax purposes

At 30 June 2016, there is no recognised or unrecognised deferred income tax liability (2015: $nil) for taxes that would 
be payable on the unremitted earnings of certain of the group’s subsidiaries, as the group has no current intention of 
distributing existing retained earnings in jurisdictions where liability for additional taxation exists should such amounts 
be remitted.

54

Breville Group Limited annual report 2016

Note 4. Income tax continued

Recognition and measurement

Current tax 

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amounts expected to be 
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those 
that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences between the tax bases of assets/liabilities and their 
carrying amounts at balance sheet date for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

•  when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in 
a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the 
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

•  when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries and the timing of the 

reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax 
assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the 
deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised, 
except:

•  when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial 

recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the 
transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profit or loss; or

•  when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries in which case a deferred 

tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the 
foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent 
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax 
asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the 
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year 
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes in relation to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income 
statement.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax 
assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the 
same taxation authority.

Tax consolidation legislation

Breville Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian resident controlled entities (excluding the Breville Group 
Performance Share Plan Trust) have implemented the tax consolidated legislation as of 1 July 2003.

Breville Group Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group. For further information, refer to note 17.

Notes: 

(a) Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-60 day terms. An allowance for uncollectible 

receivables is made when there is objective evidence on a case by case basis that a trade receivable is impaired. 
A charge of $128,000 (2015: $53,000) has been recognised by the group as an expense in ‘other expenses’ for 
the current year for specific debtors for which such evidence exists.  

At 30 June 2016 an ageing analysis of those trade receivables which are past due but not impaired are as follows:

1 – 30 days overdue

31 – 60 days overdue

61+ days overdue

Trade receivables past due but not impaired amount to $5,417,000 (2015: $10,688,000). Of this balance, 
$5,068,000 (2015: $9,040,000) is covered by insurance in the event of default of payment. In all instances each 
operating unit has been in contact with the relevant debtor and is satisfied that payment will be received in full. 

(b)  Non-trade other receivables are non-interest bearing and have repayment terms between 30 and 60 days. 

Balances within other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these 
balances will be received when due.

Note 6. Receivables, payables and provisions continued

Trade and other receivables continued

Recognition and measurement

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Bad debts 
are written off when incurred. An allowance for uncollectible receivables is established when there is objective 
evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is recognised in the 
income statement. The carrying value and estimated net fair values of the trade and other receivables is assumed 
to approximate their fair value, being the amount at which the asset could be exchanged between willing parties.

Details regarding the effective interest rate and credit risk of current receivables are disclosed in note 15.

Recognition and measurement

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost. Trade payables represent liabilities for goods and services 
provided to the group prior to the end of the year that are unpaid and arise when the group becomes obliged to 
make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured, non-
interest bearing and are usually settled on 30 day terms. The carrying value and estimated net fair values of the trade 
and other payables is assumed to approximate their fair value, being the amount at which the liability could be settled 
in a current transaction between willing parties. Details regarding interest rate, foreign exchange and liquidity risk 
exposure are disclosed in note 15.

Provisions are recognised when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it 
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a 
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Where the group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the 
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense 
relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured as the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle 
the present obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are 
discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the 
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Warranties and faulty goods

Provisions for warranty and faulty goods are recognised at the date of sale of the relevant products. A provision 
for warranty and faulty goods represents the present value of the best estimate of the future sacrifice of economic 
benefits expected that will be required for warranty and faulty goods claims on products sold. This estimate is based 
on the historical trends experienced on the level of repairs and returns. It is expected that these costs will be incurred 
in the next year. Assumptions used to calculate the provision for warranty and faulty goods were based on the level of 
warranty and faulty goods claims experienced during the last year.

Employee benefits - annual leave 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave 
expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up  
to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.  
Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates  
paid or payable.

Contributions to the defined contribution fund are recognised as an expense as they become payable.

Employee benefits – long service

The provision for employee benefits represents the present value of expected future payments to be made in 
respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to the expected future 
wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments 
are discounted using appropriate market yields at the reporting date to estimate the future cash outflows.

Recognition and measurement

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of 
purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and 
condition. This includes the transfer from equity of gains and losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of purchases 
of finished goods. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on a weighted average cost basis.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary 
to make the sale.

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.  
Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of between  
2 and 10 years.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each 
year end. An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits 
are expected from its use or disposal.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds 
and the carrying amount of the asset at the time of derecognition) is included in the income statement in the year in 
which they arise.

Recognition and measurement

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business 
combination over the group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent 
liabilities. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

A summary of the policies applied to the group’s intangible assets is as follows:

Internally generated

Capitalised at cost and recognised only when the group can demonstrate the technical 
feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its 
intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate 
future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and 
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during 
its development. Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the 
cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated 
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Research costs are expensed as 
incurred.
Finite
Amortised straight line over the period of expected future sales, not exceeding 3 years, 
from the related project on a straight line basis.
Annually and more frequently when an indication of impairment exists. An impairment loss 
is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount. 
The amortisation method is reviewed at each year end.

Annually and more frequently when an indication of impairment exists. The amortisation 
method is reviewed at each year end.

The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed 
at least at each year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future 
economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as 
appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives 
is recognised in the income statement in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset. 

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net 
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the income statement when the asset 
is derecognised.

Note 10. Impairment testing of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives

Goodwill and brand names acquired through business combinations have been allocated to cash generating units for 
impairment testing as follows:

•  Breville Group

•  Breville Australia

•  North America Distribution

•  New Zealand Distribution

•  Rest of World Distributors

In all cases the recoverable amount of the individual cash generating unit has been determined based on a value in 
use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the Board.

The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 10.6% (2015: 12.3%). Cash flows beyond the approved 30 June 
2017 budgets are extrapolated using a 3% growth rate (2015: 3.0%), which is considered a reasonable estimate of 
the long-term average growth rate for the wholesale consumer products industry.

Management has performed sensitivity testing by cash generating unit (CGU), based on assessing the effect of 
changes in revenue growth rates as well as discount rates. Management consider any reasonable likely combination 
of changes in these key assumptions would not result in the carrying value of the goodwill or brand names exceeding 
the recoverable amount.

Note 10. Impairment testing of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives 
continued

Key assumptions used in value in use calculations for the cash generating units for  
30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015

The key assumption on which management has based its cash flow projections when determining the value in use of 
the cash generating units is as follows:

•  Budgeted gross margins – the basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted gross margins is 

based on past performance and expectations for the future.

Recognition and measurement

Intangible assets – goodwill

The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether 
indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite 
to finite is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination shall, from the acquisition date, 
be allocated to each of the group’s cash generating units, or groups of cash generating units, that are expected 
to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the group 
are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated 
represents the lowest level within the group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill 
relates. When the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment 
loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit and an operation within that unit is disposed 
of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation 
when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured 
based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained. 

Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for 
impairment; or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other 
assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of 
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash 
inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating 
units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are tested for possible reversal of the 
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed.

completion of these financial statements.

Recognition and measurement

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any 
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted 
for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

•  cost of servicing equity (other than dividends);

• 

the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been 
recognised as expenses; 

•  other non-discretionary changes in revenue or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of 

potential ordinary shares; and

•  divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for 

any bonus element.

Ordinary shares held by the Breville Group Performance Share Plan Trust

Ordinary shares held by the Breville Group Performance Share Plan Trust in order to fulfil its obligations under the 
Breville Group Limited Performance Rights Plan are deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the income 
statement on the purchase of the group’s equity instruments by the Breville Group Performance Share Plan Trust.

The ordinary shares held by the Breville Group Performance Share Plan Trust, if any, are yet to be allocated to 
LTI participants. They will be allocated to participants once performance rights vest and they are exercised. The 
ordinary shares held by the Breville Group Performance Share Plan Trust, if any, have the right to receive dividends 
as declared and, in the event of winding up the company, to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus 
assets in proportion to the number of and amounts paid up on shares held. The ordinary shares held by the Breville 
Group Performance Share Plan Trust, if any, entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting

Terms and conditions

The group operates under one primary facility with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) enabling all 
jurisdictions to borrow under one global facility. The facility agreement has a number of financial covenants all of which 
have been fully complied with as at the years ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015. 

The Australia and New Zealand financing facilities are secured by a first ranking fixed and floating registered charge 
(or general security for Breville New Zealand Limited), over all the assets and undertakings of Thebe International Pty 
Limited, Breville Pty Limited, Breville Holdings Pty Limited, Breville R&D Pty Limited and Breville New Zealand Limited 
and are guaranteed by Breville Group Limited. The Hong Kong facility is secured via a security agreement over the 
assets and undertakings of HWI International Limited. Breville Group Limited has issued corporate guarantees in favour 
of the local bank (HSBC) which provides the day to day US, Canadian and UK transactional banking facilities. A security 
agreement in favour of ANZ is in existence over the assets and undertakings of Breville USA, Inc. Borrowings may 
include Australian dollar, US dollar, Canadian dollar, British pounds and New Zealand dollar denominated amounts.

Fair value

The carrying value and estimated net fair values of the borrowings held with banks (determined under Level 2, 
as described in note 15) approximates their fair value. Fair values of the company’s interest-bearing loans are 
determined by using a discounted cash flow method using a discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate 
as at the end of the reporting period. The non-performance risk as at 30 June 2016 was assessed to be insignificant 
(2015: insignificant). Details regarding interest rate, foreign exchange and liquidity risk are disclosed in note 15.

Seasonal facility

Under the primary facility with ANZ, the group also has a seasonal facility available between October 2016 - January 
2017 (2015: October 2015 – January 2016) of $8,000,000 (2015: $8,000,000) and a seasonal facility available 
between September 2016 and March 2017 (2015: September 2015 – March 2016) of $12,804,960 (2015: 
$11,056,191). These facilities are under the same terms and conditions as described above.

Borrowings may include Australian dollar, US dollar, Canadian dollar, British pounds and New Zealand dollar 
denominated amounts. 

Recognition and measurement

All borrowings, including cash advance facilities, are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received 
less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, borrowings, including cash advance facilities, are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in the 
income statement when the liabilities are derecognised.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the 
liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Note 15. Financial risk management

The group’s principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprises cash advances, bank overdrafts, cash 
at bank and short-term deposits.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the group’s operations. The group has various 
other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its 
operations. The group also enters into derivative transactions, primarily forward exchange contracts. The purpose is 
to manage the currency risks arising from the group’s business operations and its sources of finance. It is the group’s 
policy that no speculative trading in derivatives shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the group’s financial 
instruments are foreign currency risk and credit risk. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of 
these risks and they are summarised below.

Recognition and measurement

Derivative financial instruments and hedging

The group may use derivative financial instruments such as forward exchange contracts to hedge its risks associated 
with foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date 
on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value. The fair value of the 
forward exchange contracts is estimated using market observable inputs. Derivatives are carried as assets when their 
fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. 

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives, except for those that qualify for hedge 
accounting, are taken directly to the income statement for the year.

The fair value of forward exchange contracts are calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for 
contracts with similar maturity profiles and where applicable, exercise prices. 

For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as cash flow hedges when they hedge exposure to 
variability in cash flows that is attributable either to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or to 
a forecast transaction.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to 
which the group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking 
the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the 
nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the 
exposure to changes in the hedged item’s cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to 
be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine 
that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

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

Cash flow hedges

Cash flow hedges are hedges of the group’s exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular 
risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and that could affect profit 
or loss. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in equity, while the 
ineffective portion is recognised in income statement.

Notes to the financial statements 
for the year ended 30 June 2016

Note 15. Financial risk management continued

Recognition and measurement continued

Cash flow hedges continued

Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, 
such as when hedged income or expenses are recognised or when a forecast purchase occurs. When the hedged 
item is the cost of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts taken to equity are transferred to the initial carrying 
amount of the non-financial asset or liability.

If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognised in equity are transferred to 
the income statement. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or 
rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the 
forecast transaction occurs. If the related transaction is not expected to occur, the amount is taken to the income 
statement.

A hedge of the foreign currency risk of a firm commitment is accounted for as a cash flow hedge.

Interest rate risk

The group is exposed to interest rate risk on its borrowings, cash balances and derivative financial instruments. The 
group’s policy is to manage its interest rate risk using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt where appropriate. Cash 
advance facilities have short term fixed interest rates with maturities ranging between 1 and 3 months, therefore 
within the financial year they are exposed to interest rate risk. 

At 30 June 2016, the group has the following exposure to interest rate risk:

At 30 June 2016, 0% of the group’s borrowings (2015: 0%) are at a fixed rate of interest. The remaining 100%  
(2015: 100%) is exposed to floating rates. On a principal net receivable of $36,129,000 (2015: $32,790,000), at 
an average payable rate including line fee and margin of 1.9% (2015: 2.2%) and average receivable rate of 0.6% 
(2015: 1.2%), an increment of 0.5% in the market rates would result in a decrease in finance costs of $419,000 
(2015: $382,000), conversely a decrement of 0.5% in the market rates would result in an increase in finance costs of 
$336,000 (2015: $304,000).

The group’s net exposure to interest rate risk calculated as at 30 June 2016 is not representative of its exposure 
during the financial year due to seasonality in the volume of sales such that financial performance is historically 
weighted in favour of the half to 31 December. This seasonality results in a higher level of receivable and inventory 
balances and a consequent increase in working capital requirements. All of the group’s borrowings during the year 
(2015 average borrowings: 100%) are at a floating rate of interest. On an average principal net receivable during the 
year of $20,246,000 (2015: $26,042,000), at an average payable rate including margin of 1.9% (2015: 2.2%) and 
average receivable rate of 0.6% (2015: 1.2%), an increment of 0.5% in the market rates would result in a decrease 
in finance costs of $101,000 (2015: $130,000), conversely a decrement of 0.5% in the market rates would result in a 
decrease in finance costs of $68,000 (2015: $102,000).

72

Breville Group Limited annual report 2016

Note 15. Financial risk management continued

Foreign currency risk

The group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currently and is exposed to foreign exchange rate 
fluctuations. Such exposure arises primarily from purchases of inventory by a business unit in currencies other than 
the unit’s functional currency (purchases are predominately US dollar denominated). Other foreign exchange risk only 
arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that 
is not the entity’s functional currency.

To hedge exposure arising from the purchase of inventories or payments in currencies other than the business unit’s 
functional currency, forward exchange contracts may be utilised. At inception these hedge contracts are designated 
as cash flow hedges to hedge the exposure to the variability in cash flows arising as a result of movements in 
exchange rates below contracted exchange rates for options and for movements above or below a contracted 
exchange rate for forward exchange contracts.

Also, as a result of the group’s investment in its overseas operations, the group’s balance sheet can be affected 
significantly by movements in the exchange rates of the jurisdictions it operates within. 

At 30 June 2016, the group has the following financial assets and liabilities exposed to foreign currency risk:

an increase in other expenses of $1,503,000 (2015: $801,000).

Instruments used by the group

Derivative financial instruments are used by the group in the normal course of business in order to hedge exposures 
to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates.  

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by 
valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, 
either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on 
observable market data.

The fair value of all derivative assets and liabilities have been determined under Level 2.

Instruments used by the group continued

(i) Forward exchange contracts – cash flow hedges

The majority of the group’s inventory purchases from suppliers are denominated in US dollars (US$). In order to 
manage exchange rate movements and to manage the inventory costing process, the group has entered into forward 
exchange contracts to purchase US$, Euro and CHF. These contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted 
purchases and highly probable forecasted payments and they are timed to mature when settlement of purchases or 
the payments are scheduled to be made.

The cash flows are expected to occur between 0-12 months from 1 July 2016 (2015: 0-12 months) and the cost of 
sales and where applicable the sale of goods within the income statement will be affected in the next financial year as 
the inventory is sold or the payments are made. At balance date, the details of outstanding contracts are:

The cash flow hedges of the forecast purchases and forecast payments are considered to be highly effective and any 
gain or loss on the contracts is taken directly to equity. Where the contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted 
inventory purchases, when the inventory is received or the risk is assumed, the amount recognised in equity is 
adjusted to the inventory account in the balance sheet. Where the contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted 
payments, when the payments are made the amount recognised in equity is adjusted to the income statement. 
During the year $6,786,000 was credited to inventory (2015: $2,970,000 credited) and $3,919,000 was credited 
(2015: $6,872,000 credited) to equity in respect of the group.

At 30 June 2016, the group had hedged 71% (2015: 79%) of its foreign currency purchases extending to 
June 2017 (2015: June 2016). The remaining 29% (2015: 21%) is exposed to foreign exchange risk.  

In respect of net derivative assets and liabilities above, being the fair value of forward exchange contracts designated 
as cash flow hedges, a decrease of 10% in the US dollar exchange rate against local currencies, all other variables 
held constant, would result in an increase in equity of $9,340,000 (2015: $10,536,000). Conversely, an increase 
of 10% in the US dollar exchange rate against local currencies, all other variables held constant, would result in a 
decrease in equity of $7,642,000 (2015: $8,620,000).

Note 15. Financial risk management continued

Capital management

The board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and 
to sustain future development of the business.

The board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of 
borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. The board monitors the group’s 
gearing ratio and compliance with debt covenants on a regular basis. The group’s gearing ratio at 30 June 2016 
and 30 June 2015 is nil due to the group being in a net cash position. The gearing ratio is defined as group net 
borrowings divided by capital employed (net borrowings plus shareholders’ equity).

Credit risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. The credit 
risk on financial assets, excluding investments, of the group that has been recognised on the balance sheet is the 
carrying value amount, net of any uncollectible receivables.

The group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the group’s policy that all customers who wish 
to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In certain instances, where deemed appropriate, 
receivable insurance is acquired to offset the group’s exposure to credit risk. 

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the group’s exposure to bad 
debts is not significant. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk across the group. 

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the group, which comprise cash and cash 
equivalents and certain derivative instruments, the group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter 
party with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. These counter parties are large 
multi-national banks.

Since the group trades only with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.

Liquidity risk

The group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash 
advances and bank overdrafts. The group’s bank facilities carry between a one and three year term in Australia, 
USA, Canada and the UK. As at 30 June 2016, 43.4% of the group’s borrowings will mature in greater than one year 
(2015: 99.8%) and 56.6% (2015: 0.2%) in less than one year.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the group’s liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash flows. See note 
14 for details of available facilities.

At 30 June 2016, the remaining contractual maturities of the group’s financial liabilities are:

(a) Entities subject to class order relief continued

As a condition of the class order, Breville Group Limited and Thebe International Pty Limited entered into a Deed of 
Cross Guarantee on 4 November 1999. This deed was subsequently assumed by Breville Pty Limited and Breville 
Holdings Pty Limited under an assumption deed dated 19 December 2001. The effect of the deed is that Breville 
Group Limited has guaranteed to pay any deficiency in the event of winding up of either controlled entity or if they 
do not meet their obligations under the terms of overdrafts, loans, leases or other liabilities subject to the guarantee. 
The controlled entities have also given a similar guarantee in the event that Breville Group Limited is wound up or if it 
does not meet its obligation under the terms of overdrafts, loans, leases or other liabilities subject to the guarantee.

The entities comprising the class order “closed group” are Breville Group Limited, Thebe International Pty Limited, 
Breville Pty Limited and Breville Holdings Pty Limited. The consolidated statement of financial position and 
income statement of the entities that are members of the “closed group” are detailed in notes 19(i) and 19(ii).

(b) Breville Group Performance Share Plan Trust

A trust fund has been established with the appointment of an independent Trustee. The trust is funded by funds 
irretrievably contributed to it by the company and the Trustee uses these funds to either subscribe for a new issue of 
shares in the company or purchase shares on the ASX in order to fulfil its obligations under the Breville Group Limited 
Performance Rights Plan.

The trust does not form part of the Breville Group Limited Australian tax consolidation group.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2016, the Trustee acquired 65,000 company shares (2015: 362,000). The 
average value placed on these acquisitions was $6.38 per share (2015: $7.24).

Note 17. Parent entity information continued

Tax consolidation

Breville Group Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries (excluding the Breville Group Performance 
Share Plan Trust) have formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2003.

The head entity, Breville Group Limited, and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group are required to account 
for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax 
consolidated group continues to be a stand alone tax payer in its own right.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Breville Group Limited also recognises: 

(a)  the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax 

credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group; and

(b)  assets or liabilities arising for Breville Group Limited under the tax funding agreement as amounts receivable from 

or payable to other entities in the group.

Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The tax funding agreement 
supports the calculation of current tax liabilities (and assets) and deferred tax assets/liabilities on a stand-alone 
basis. Calculation is performed in accordance with AASB 112 Income Tax. The allocation of taxes under the tax 
funding agreement is recognised as an increase/decrease in the subsidiaries’ intercompany accounts with the tax 
consolidated group head company, Breville Group Limited.

No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of the tax sharing agreement should the 
head entity default on its tax payment obligations on the basis that the possibility of default is remote.

Note 18. Share-based payments

Performance rights plan

Under the performance rights plan participants are issued with performance rights over the ordinary shares of Breville 
Group Limited issued in accordance with the Breville Group Limited Performance Rights Plan (PRP). See page 25 
and 26 of the Remuneration report for details of the performance rights plans.

At 30 June 2016 there were 696,700 (2015: 558,000) performance rights outstanding under this plan. The expense 
recognised in the income statement in relation to share-based payments is disclosed in note 3(e). 

Recognition and measurement

Performance rights issued to employees (including key management personnel) are accounted for as share-
based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled 
transactions). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value 
of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value has been determined by an external 
valuer using a Black Scholes or Monte-Carlo model, further details of which are given below.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair 
value of the awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of 
the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market based performance conditions are reflected within 
the grant date fair value.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the 
period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on 
which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). At each subsequent reporting 
date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the income statement is the product of (i) the grant date fair value of the 
award; (ii) the current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such factors as the 
likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions 
being met; and (iii) the expired portion of the vesting period. The charge to the income statement for the period 
is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a 
corresponding entry to equity.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service 
conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated 
as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance 
and/or service conditions are satisfied.

The expected life of the performance rights is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise 
patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of 
future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of performance rights granted 
were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

Both the functional and presentation currency of 
Breville Group Limited and its Australian subsidiaries 
are Australian dollars (AUD or A$). Each entity in the 
group determines its own functional currency and items 
included in the financial statements of each entity are 
measured using that functional currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded 
in the functional currency at the exchange rates 
ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets 
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 
retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the 
balance sheet date.  

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of 
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated 
using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial 
transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value 
in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange 
rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

The functional currency of the foreign subsidiaries is 
either: 

•  USD - United States dollars (Breville Holdings USA, 

Inc. and Breville USA, Inc.); 

•  HKD - Hong Kong dollars (HWI International 

Limited);

•  CAD - Canadian dollars (HWI Canada, Inc., Holding 

HWI Canada, Inc. and Breville Canada, L.P.);

•  NZD - New Zealand dollars (Breville New Zealand 

Limited);

•  GBP - British pounds (BRG Appliances Limited); 

and

•  RMB - Chinese Renminbi (Breville Services 

(Shenzhen) Company Limited). 

As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of these 
foreign subsidiaries are translated into the presentation 
currency of Breville Group Limited. They are translated 
at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet 
date and the income statements are translated at the 
weighted average exchange rates for the year.

The exchange differences arising on the retranslation of 
the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are taken 
directly to a separate component of equity. On disposal 
of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount 
recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign 
operation is recognised in the income statement.

(iii) Disposal of foreign operations

In some instances companies in the Breville Group 
provide intra group funding to other group entities by 
way of permanent equity loans. In these instances any 
foreign exchange movements are recognised in equity 
(foreign currency translation reserve) as these equity 
loans are considered to form part of the net investment 
in the subsidiary.

Investments and other financial assets

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial 
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are 
classified as either financial assets at fair value through 
profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity 
investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are 
recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, 
in the case of investments not at fair value through the 
income statement, directly attributable transactions 
costs. The group determines the classification of its 
financial assets after initial recognition and, when 
allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation 
at each year end.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets 
are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that 
the group commits to purchase the asset. Regular 
way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of 
financial assets under contracts that require delivery of 
the assets within the period established generally by 
regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Investments and other financial assets 
continued

(i) Held to maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or 
determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified 
as held-to-maturity when the group has the positive 
intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments 
intended to be held for an undefined period are not 
included in this classification. Investments that are 
intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost 
is computed as the amount initially recognised minus 
principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative 
amortisation using the effective interest method of any 
difference between the initially recognised amount and 
the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees 
and points paid or received between parties to the 
contract that are an integral part of the effective interest 
rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and 
discounts. 

For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and 
losses are recognised in the income statement when 
the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well 
as through the amortisation process.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial 
assets with fixed or determinable payments that are 
not quoted in an active market. Such assets are 
carried at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method. Gains and losses are recognised in the 
income statement when the loans and receivables 
are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the 
amortisation process.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or 
contains a lease is based on the substance of the 
arrangement and requires an assessment of whether 
the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the 
use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement 
conveys a right to use the asset.

Group as a lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an 
expense in the income statement on a straight line basis 
over the lease term. Any lease incentives are recognised 
in the income statement as an integral part of the total 
lease expense.

Other Taxes

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of 
the amount of goods and services tax (GST) or value 
added tax (VAT) except:

•  where the GST/VAT incurred on the purchase of 
goods and services is not recoverable from the 
taxation authority, in which case the GST/VAT is 

recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the 
asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; 
and

• 

receivables and payables, which are stated with the 
applicable amount of GST/VAT included.

The net amount of GST/VAT recoverable/payable is 
included in receivables/payables in the statement of 
financial position.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on 
a gross basis and the GST/VAT component of cash 
flows arising from investing and financing activities are 
classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of 
recoverable/payable GST/VAT. 

New accounting standards and 
interpretations

(i) Changes to accounting policy and disclosures

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with 
those of the previous financial year.

The Group adopted all new and amended Australian 
Accounting Standards and Interpretations that became 
applicable during the current financial year. 

The adoption of these Standards and Interpretations did 
not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial 
results or statement of financial position.

(ii) Accounting Standards and Interpretations 
issued but not yet effective

Relevant accounting standards that have been 
issued but are not yet effective are outlined below:
