Letter from the Chairman and CEO

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of your Board of 
Directors, it is our pleasure to 
present the Catapult Group 
International Ltd Annual 
Report for the financial year 
ended 30 June 2017 (FY17).

fy17 has been a truly 
transformational year in both 
scale and scope for catapult. we 
have grown both organically and 
through targeted acquisitions to 
become a leading global provider 
of technology platforms that 
improve sports performance.

OuR PuRPOSE AnD StRAtEGY

catapult is now a global team 
of over 300 people, and in fy17 
we codified our purpose and 
values, and a key focus of ours 
into fy18 and beyond will be to 
drive organisational excellence as 
catapult’s business scales globally. 
Our purpose as an organisation 
is to build and improve the 
performance of athletes and 
sporting teams, and we’re proud 
to be able to say that we executed 
on that vision in fy17. 

we believe in our strategy, and will 
continue to execute in line with 
our three strategic pillars—owning 
the performance technology 
stack for elite sport, leveraging 
that elite dominance into the 
prosumer market and looking to 
commercialise our elite wearable 
and video data.

tEChnOLOGY FOR  
ELItE SPORtS

Our elite hardware and software 
products have evolved from a 
wearable offering in fy16 to an 
integrated technology stack in 
fy17 now positioned to capture 
data and deliver insights across  
a wide range of club data sources.

in August 2016, we acquired XOs 
technologies, inc. – a us-based 
market leader in providing digital 
and video analytics software 
solutions to elite sports teams 
in the united states. this 
acquisition both transformed the 
financial scale of the business and 
strategically brought together the 
two key performance technology 
components in elite sporting 
club environments, deepening 
our elite customer relationships 
and extending our elite sports 
technology product leadership.

in August 2017, we also completed 
the acquisition of the sportsmed 
elite and baseline athlete 
management system (Ams) 
businesses from smg technologies 
pty ltd. the addition of an 
Ams platform to our offering is 
highly strategic, and will enable 
the expansion of the analytics 
catapult can deliver to teams, 
using multiple data sources to 
deliver better outcomes for our 
clients and incremental commercial 
opportunities for the group.

we estimate that the  
addressable market for our 
integrated technology stack 
(across wearables, video and  
Ams) is $450m–$550m of  
annual revenue. As a category 
leader, we are very well  
positioned to win this market 
through our existing sales  
and marketing network.

encouragingly, the elite market 
opportunity continues to 
grow. we validated our data 
commercialisation model in fy17, 
overlaying broadcast data in the 
state of Origin and Afl finals 
series, in the process establishing 
an exciting showcase for leagues 
around the world. we also recently 
flagged our intention to develop  
a tactical analytics module 
that will leverage our existing 
wearable and video platforms 
and equip coaches with a more 
data-science driven approach 
to tactical coaching. tactical 
analytics is another compelling 
product and market expansion 
opportunity, and we’re taking a 
measured approach to investing 
in the development of what we 
think is an emerging but soon 
to be essential part of the elite 
technology stack. 

PROSumER

we also acquired plAyeRtek 
in August 2016, signalling our 
intention to move into the 
‘prosumer’ market, which  
extends to serious athletes  
at junior clubs, and sub-elite  
and semi-professional athletes. 

we estimate there are 10 to 20 
times more ‘prosumer’ teams 
globally as compared with the elite 
market, and we made a measured 
investment in fy17 to prove out 
this opportunity. we re-launched 
plAyeRtek as PLAYERTEK 
by Catapult in April, having 
re-engineered the product’s 
software layer and developed 
new and consumer-facing sales 
channels. we saw early promising 
signs following our relaunch, 
with Q4 prosumer sales (post-
relaunch) exceeding sales in Q1-Q3 
combined by 1.8x. we’ve tested a

On behalf of the board, we would 
also like to thank shaun holthouse 
for his enormous contribution to 
catapult in his capacity as ceO. 
shaun has been instrumental in 
driving the success of the business 
to date, and his thoughtful long-
term strategic vision has been 
a key contributor to our market 
dominance. we look forward to 
his ongoing involvement as head 
of strategy where he will continue 
to be key leader and driver of 
catapult’s culture.

finally, the board wishes to thank 
and acknowledge the continued 
support of our new and existing 
shareholders, staff, and customers.

Regards,

Adir shiffman 
executive chairman

Joe powell 
chief executive Officer

number of ideas and assumptions 
about the market this year, and 
learnt a lot.

we’re truly excited about what’s 
to come in this space, and we’re 
in a great position to attack this 
new and expanded addressable 
market once we release our next-
generation prosumer product  
later in fy18.

FY17 RESuLt

Alongside this transformational 
backdrop, we are proud to have 
delivered another outstanding 
year of growth for our shareholders, 
with statutory revenue up 249%  
to $60.8m, to $60.8m, delivering 
$2.9m of underling ebitdA, our 
first year of positive underlying 
ebitdA since our ipO. Our core 
elite wearables business continued 
to grow strongly, delivering $26.4m 
in revenue, up 52% from last  
year. in addition, the successful 
integration of XOs into the 
broader group saw it return  
pro-forma revenue growth  
of 10.4% in fy17, up from 3.6%  
last year.

OutLOOK

As a business, we operate at the 
exciting intersection of technology 
and sport. catapult is uniquely 
positioned to grow and win our 
market by ensuring we leverage 
our engaged global team and 
deep customer relationships to 
execute on our strategy. we’re 
thrilled to be part of a high growth 
global business with a terrific 
purpose, clear strategy, market-
leading technology, trusted and 
inspiring brands, very capable 
people, and numerous growth 
opportunities still ahead of us.

Review 
of Operations

A summary of catapult group international ltd’s (catapult, or the company) consolidated results is set  
out below.

the financial year to 30 June 2017 (fy17) has been a transformational one for catapult, both financially  
and operationally. this is a direct result of the company executing clearly on its strategic pillars consisting of  
i) owning the elite technology stack for elite team sport ii) leveraging the halo effect from our elite business  
into the prosumer market and iii) developing new wearable and video data commercialisation opportunities 
for elite sport. 

we are taking a measured approach to investing across these strategic pillars to cement our leadership  
in these core markets and further enhance our long-term growth prospects. 

fy17 was another record result for catapult financially. the company achieved a statutory revenue result 
of $60.8m, up 249% on fy16 and was within the revenue guidance range set by management at our Annual 
general meeting in november 2016.

the strong revenue growth was almost entirely driven by our elite wearables and elite video businesses. 
furthermore, over 70% of fy17 total revenue was generated from long-term client subscriptions and 
services, up 368% on fy16 to $43.0m. subscription and services revenue included $15.4m of elite wearable 
subscription revenues in fy17, up 67% on fy16, with the remainder made of up elite video subscriptions, 
product support and maintenance revenue, plus elite video content licensing. capital (or one-off) revenue 
includes revenue from both elite wearable sales and elite video hardware and storages sales, with elite  
video capital revenue derived from new and existing subscription clients.

As the clear category leader, we are very well positioned to win this market through our existing sales  
and marketing network and further expand our addressable market opportunity through a number of key 
initiatives in development, such as i) data monetisation ii) tactical analytics and iii) other analytics add-ons  
to our elite technology stack.

xOS pro-forma revenue3

On 13 July 2016, catapult agreed to acquire 100%  
of XOs technologies, inc., for us$60m. XOs is the 
us-based market leader in providing innovative 
digital and video analytic software solutions to elite 
sports teams in the united states. the acquisition 
brought together the market leaders of elite wearable 
and video technology, the two key technology pillars 
in elite club environments, and has transformed the 
scope and scale of the group.

the successful integration of XOs into the group  
saw its top-line revenue growth accelerate to 10.5% 
in fy17 (vs 3.6% in fy16) on a pro-forma basis, with 
our combined north American sales team growing 
our elite video client base to c.430. 

Our elite video clients account for only 4.3% of our 
current addressable market, based on management 
estimates, highlighting the growth opportunity 
available as we look to internationalise XOs’s  
current client mix.

(3)  AMS and Tactical Analytics investments

the group acquired the sportsmed elite and baseline athlete management system (Ams) products from 
smg technologies pty ltd (smg) for $1.9m in upfront cash consideration in August 2017. An additional $0.25m 
of cash and $0.25m of cAt scrip is payable to smg subject to performance hurdles relating to the successful 
transfer and transition of the products to catapult. up to an additional $2m of deferred cash consideration  
is also payable over the next 2 years on incremental revenue generated from catapult Ams sales.

Ams by catapult is a saas, modularised, cloud-based platform that acts as a store of team data and 
information. Ams has the potential to become catapult’s analytics parent layer application, helping sporting 
organisations make better and more informed decisions utilising insights generated from their varied and 
often disparate data sources.

strategic rationale of the Ams acquisition:

>  capability to provide teams with a centralised data repository and analytics platform across a wide  

range of club data sources;

> 

incremental subscription revenue opportunity by selling to catapult’s existing client base;

>  potential to act as a key touch point for new clients to introduce them to catapult’s family of products;

>  enables the storage of, and access to, broader data streams to feed advanced algorithms;

>  Acquisition delivers new clients and a compelling cross-sell opportunity in key target markets.

COmmERCIALISE ELItE WEARABLE AnD vIDEO DAtA

in fy17 we validated our data commercialisation model, overlaying live data on broadcast feeds in the nbl, 
nRl state of Origin series and Afl finals series, and providing select statistics directly to fans through  
the Afl live App. 

we have deep experience partnering with sporting leagues, and this demonstrates our ability to generate 
new revenue streams from our data via the adjacent ‘sponsorship’ revenue wallet by leveraging the 
relationships leagues have with their broadcast partners and sponsors.

these examples are an exciting showcase that catapult can take to leagues around the world.

PROSumER

1.  MARKET OPPORTUNITY

we believe the prosumer market could be 10x – 20x the size of the elite wearable market, in terms  
of number of teams. leveraging our authentic elite sport brand, list of clients, and access to scalable  
content, catapult is uniquely positioned to go after what is an un-addressed sub-elite market for  
wearable devices in team-based sports.

2.  ACQUISITION AND REDEVELOPMENT OF PLAYERTEK

catapult acquired 100% of kodaplay limited (plAyeRtek) in August 2016. based in ireland, plAyeRtek had 
developed a wearable analytics product primarily targeted to amateur footballers and clubs/organisations. 

in April 2017, the group announced a major upgrade of its prosumer offering, releasing PLAYERTEK by Catapult.

the upgrade re-engineered and enhanced the plAyeRtek analytics software, unveiling new features including 
the ability for users to compare their performance to professionals. the launch of PLAYERTEK by Catapult 
also saw significant business process improvements, establishing a direct-to-consumer sales channel, as well 
as scalable supply chain and logistics enhancements.

Directors’ Report

REvIEW OF OPERAtIOnS AnD FInAnCIAL RESuLtS

the group has recorded an increased loss of $13,581,000 (2016: $5,870,824). this increase is due to increased 
depreciation and amortisation charges associated with: the acquisition of XOs and playertek in August 2016; 
increased investment in development of products and software; and increasing size of subscription unit fleet.

loss per share for the year was $0.086 (2016: $0.05) and no dividend will be paid or declared.

the group’s net assets increased to $114,762,000 compared to the previous years’ position of $11,939,461.

SIGnIFICAnt ChAnGES In thE StAtE OF AFFAIRS

during the year, the following changes occurred within the group:

>  capital Raising: during the year, the group issued 43,073,500 fully paid ordinary shares as part of its 

capital raising program, which resulted in gross proceeds of $116,673,568; and

>  Acquisition of XOs technologies inc and kodaplay limited in August 2016.

in the directors’ opinion, there have been no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the group 
during the year. A further review of matters affecting the group’s state of affairs is contained in the 
operating and financial review.

EvEntS ARISInG SInCE thE EnD OF thE REPORtInG PERIOD

Acquisition of Athlete Management System:

On 4 August 2017, catapult acquired the sportsmed elite and baseline Athlete management system (Ams) 
products and clients and recruited key personnel, from smg technologies pty ltd (smg) for consideration 
ranging between $1.4m and $3.9m depending on performance metrics and incremental revenue generated 
in the two years following the acquisition.

the Ams acquisition is strategically and financially compelling for catapult’s shareholders as it:

>  delivers on a key catapult strategic objective – the capability to provide teams with a centralised data 

repository and analytics across a wide range of club data sources;

> 

integration of Ams products will extend catapult’s ability to provide teams with Artificial intelligence  
and machine learning based analytics beyond current streams of data (wearable and video); and

>  significant incremental subscription revenue opportunity via cross-selling to catapult’s c.1,500 existing 

client base.

LIKELY DEvELOPmEntS, BuSInESS StRAtEGIES AnD PROSPECtS

based on the expected demand for athlete analytics globally and the continued growth in the group’s sales 
and marketing platform across key regions, we are optimistic about the long term growth opportunity. 
furthermore, catapult group has continued to broaden its suite of athlete analytics solutions through the 
acquisitions of XOs, plAyeRtek and Ams, resulting in a substantially larger addressable market opportunity 
across a wider range of customers in both elite and prosumer sporting leagues. catapult group expects to 
benefit in these new segments with increasing sales and brand loyalty.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2017

23

BuSInESS RISK

in executing its growth plans catapult group is subject to the following key market, operational and 
acquisition risks outlined below.

Economic risk

catapult may be affected by general economic conditions. changes in the broader economic and financial 
climate may adversely affect the conduct of the catapult’s operations. in particular, sustained economic 
downturns in key geographies where catapult is focused may adversely affect its financial performance. 
changes in economic factors affecting general business cycles, inflation, legislation, monetary and regulatory 
policies, as well as changes to accounting standards, may also affect the performance of catapult.

Industry and competition risk

catapult’s performance could be adversely affected if existing or new competitors reduce catapult’s market 
share, or its ability to expand into new market segments. catapult’s existing or new competitors may have 
substantially greater resources and access to more markets than catapult. competitors may succeed in 
developing alternative products which are more innovative, easier to use or more cost effective than those 
that have been or may be developed by catapult. this may place pricing pressure on catapult’s product 
offering and may impact on catapult’s ability to retain existing clients, as well as catapult’s ability to attract 
new clients. if catapult cannot compete successfully, catapult’s business, operating results and financial 
position could be adversely impacted.

Technology and hosting platforms

catapult relies on a third party hosting provider to maintain continuous operation of its technology platforms, 
servers and hosting services and the cloud based environment in which catapult provides its products. there 
is a risk that these systems may be adversely affected by various factors such as damage, faulting or aging 
equipment, power surges or failures, computer viruses, or misuse by staff or contractors. Other factors such 
as hacking, denial of service attacks, or natural disasters may also adversely affect these systems and cause 
them to become unavailable. further, if catapult’s third party hosting provider ceased to offer its services to 
catapult and catapult was unable to obtain a replacement provider quickly, this could lead to disruption of 
service to the catapult website and cloud infrastructure. this could lead to a loss of revenue while catapult is 
unable to provide its services, as well as adversely affecting its reputation. this could have a material adverse 
effect on catapult’s financial position and performance.

Data loss, theft or corruption

catapult provides its services through cloud based and other online platforms. hacking or exploitation of any 
vulnerability on those platforms could lead to loss, theft or corruption of data. this could render catapult’s 
services unavailable for a period of time while data is restored. it could also lead to unauthorised disclosure 
of users’ data with associated reputational damage, claims by users, regulatory scrutiny and fines. Although 
catapult employs strategies and protections to try to minimise security breaches and to protect data, these 
strategies and protections might not be entirely successful. in that event, disruption to catapult’s services 
could adversely impact on catapult’s revenue and profitability. the loss of client data could have servers 
impacts to client service, reputation and the ability for clients to use the products.

24

Directors’ Report

BuSInESS RISK (continued)

Manufacturing and product quality risks

catapult currently uses third party manufacturers to produce components of its products. there is no 
guarantee that these manufacturers will be able to meet the cost, quality and volume requirements that are 
required to be met in order for catapult to remain competitive. catapult’s products must also satisfy certain 
regulatory and compliance requirements which may include inspection by regulatory authorities. failure by 
catapult or its suppliers to continuously comply with applicable requirements could result in enforcement 
action being taken against catapult.

As a manufacturer, importer and supplier of products, product liability risk (including claims relating to 
product faults), faulty products and associated recall and warranty obligations are key risks of the catapult 
business. while catapult has product liability insurance, not all claims will be covered by this and the fallout 
from product liability issues may be far greater than what an insurance policy is able to cover.

Foreign exchange

foreign exchange rates are particularly important to catapult’s business given the significant amount of 
revenue which catapult derives from overseas. catapult’s financial statements are prepared and presented 
in Australian dollars. Adverse movements in foreign currency markets could affect catapult’s profitability  
and financial position.

Development and commercialisation of intellectual property

catapult relies on its ability to develop and commercialise its intellectual property. A failure to develop and 
commercialise its intellectual property successfully would lead to a loss of opportunities and adversely impact 
the operating results and financial position of catapult. furthermore, any third party developing superior 
technology or technology with greater commercial appeal in the fields in which catapult operates may harm 
the future prospects of catapult.

catapult’s success depends, in part, on its ability to obtain, maintain and protect its intellectual property, 
including its patents. Actions taken by catapult to protect its intellectual property may not be adequate, 
complete or enforceable and may not prevent the misappropriation of its intellectual property and 
proprietary information or deter independent development of similar technologies by others. catapult may 
also suffer damage if former employees infringe its intellectual property rights or assert their moral rights.

the granting of a patent does not guarantee that catapult’s intellectual property is protected and that 
others will not develop similar technologies that circumvent such patents. there can be no assurance that 
any patents catapult owns, controls or licences, whether now or in the future, will give catapult commercially 
significant protection of its intellectual property.

monitoring unauthorised use of catapult’s intellectual property rights is difficult and can be costly. 
catapult may not be able to detect unauthorised use of its intellectual property rights. changes in laws in 
Australia and other jurisdictions in which catapult operates may adversely affect catapult’s intellectual 
property rights.

Other parties may develop and patent substantially similar or substitute products, processes, or technologies 
to those used by catapult, and other parties may allege that catapult’s products incorporate intellectual 
property rights derived from third parties without their permission. whilst catapult is not the subject of any 
claim that its products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party, allegations of this kind may be 
received in the future and, if successful, injunctions may be granted against catapult which could materially 
affect the operation of catapult and catapult’s ability to earn revenue, and cause disruption to catapult’s 
services. the defence and prosecution of intellectual property rights lawsuits, proceedings, and related legal 
and administrative proceedings are costly and time-consuming, and their outcome is uncertain.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2017

25

in addition to its patent and licensing activities, catapult also relies on protecting its trade secrets. Actions 
taken by catapult to protect its trade secrets may not be adequate and this could erode its competitive 
advantage in respect of such trade secrets. further, others may independently develop similar technologies.

Further product development risk

catapult has developed its athlete video and tracking technology and products, and continues to invest in 
further systems and product development.

catapult gives no guarantee that further development of its video and athlete tracking technology and 
products will be successful, that development milestones will be achieved, or that catapult’s intellectual 
property will be developed into further products that are commercially exploitable. there are many risks 
inherent in the development of technologies and related products, particularly where the products are in  
the early stages of development. projects can be delayed or fail to demonstrate any benefit, or may cease  
to be viable for a range of reasons, including scientific and commercial reasons.

Brand and reputation damage

the brand and reputation of catapult and its individual products are important in retaining and increasing 
the number of clients that utilise catapult’s technology and products and could prevent catapult 
from successfully implementing its business strategy. Any reputational damage or negative publicity 
surrounding catapult or its products could adversely impact on catapult’s business and its future growth 
and profitability.

Product liability

catapult’s business exposes it to potential product liability claims related to the manufacturing, marketing 
and sale of its products. catapult maintains product liability insurance. however, to the extent that a claim  
is brought against catapult that is not covered or fully covered by insurance, such claim could have a material 
adverse effect on the business, financial position and results of catapult. claims, regardless of their merit or 
potential outcome, may adversely impact on catapult’s business and its future growth and profitability.

Litigation

catapult may in the ordinary course of business be involved in possible disputes. these disputes could give rise 
to litigation. while the extent of any disputes and litigation cannot be ascertained at this time, any dispute or 
litigation may be costly and may adversely affect the operational and financial results of catapult.

DIvIDEnDS

in respect of the current year, no dividend has been paid by catapult group international limited.

InDEmnItIES GIvEn AnD InSuRAnCE PREmIumS PAID tO AuDItORS AnD OFFICERS

during the year, catapult group international ltd paid a premium to insure officers of the group. the officers 
of the group covered by the insurance policy include all directors.

the liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may 
be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the group, and any other payments arising 
from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities 
arise out of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of 
their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to 
the group.

details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of insurance policies are not disclosed as such disclosure 
is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

the group has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted 
by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify any current or former officer or auditor of the group against a 
liability incurred as such by an officer or auditor.

nOn-AuDIt SERvICES

during the year, grant thornton, the company’s auditors, performed certain other services in addition to 
their statutory audit duties.

the board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that 
the provision of those non-audit services during the year is compatible with, and did not compromise, the 
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the reason the non-audit services do 
not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Apes 110 Code of Ethics 
for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a 
management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as an advocate for the company or jointly 
sharing risks and rewards.

details of the amounts paid to the auditors of the company, grant thornton, and its related practices for 
audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out in note 26 to the financial statements.

A copy of the Auditor’s independence declaration as required under s307c of the Corporations Act 2001 is 
included on page 40 of this financial report and forms part of this directors’ Report.

3.1  New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements

effective this financial period the amendment below takes effect 1st July 2016:

A number of new and revised standards became effective for the first time to annual periods beginning on  
or after 1 July 2016. Only those that are significant to the group have been included.

3.2  Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective and have not been adopted early by 

the Group

certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 
30 June 2017 reporting periods, and have not yet been adopted by the group. the group’s assessment of the 
impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AAsb 15:

>  replaces AAsb 118 Revenue, AAsb 111 Construction Contracts and some revenue-related interpretations

>  establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model

>  establishes a new concept of ‘distinct good or services’ to identify performance obligations

>  changes the basis for deciding whether revenue is to be recognised over time or at a point in time

>  provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics (e.g., multiple element arrangements, variable 

pricing, rights of return, warranties and licensing)

>  expands and improves disclosures about revenue

this standard will be adopted for the first time in the in the financial statements for the year ending 
30 June 2019.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2017

47

management have undertaken a detailed review of contract obligations and the underlying transactions. this 
review indicates that compliance with the standard may result in a requirement to adjust the current revenue 
recognition methodology.

elite wearable contracts contain an obligation to provide training. this is currently amortised over the life 
of the contract. compliance with the standard will require this revenue to be recognised as the service is 
incurred, generally within the first 90 days of the contract, causing a change in the first year of revenue 
recognition, this is not considered to have a material impact. A review of costs incurred in elite wearable 
contract acquisition indicates that the sales staff commissions on total contract value, currently recognised 
upfront, will also require a change in accounting treatment and be amortised over the life of the contract. 
this change is not anticipated to be material.

As described in note 4.5 sub-elite sales contracts are a bundled offering containing both ‘Outright sale of 
goods’ and ‘subscription sale’ elements. under the new revenue accounting standard it is likely that both of 
these elements would be considered to be a single performance obligation and revenue would be recognised 
over the two year term of customer contracts. the impact of this on the 2017 financial statements would be 
to reduce revenue by $500,000.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (December 2014)

AAsb 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and 
liabilities. these requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of 
financial assets compared with the requirements of AAsb 139.

the main changes are:

>  financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on: (i) the objective of the entity’s 
business model for managing the financial assets; and (ii) the characteristics of the contractual 
cash flows;

>  Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity 
instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income (instead of in profit or loss). 
dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or 
loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument;

> 

introduces a ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ measurement category for particular simple 
debt instruments;

>  financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition 

if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise 
from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases; and

>  where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for 

as follows:

–  the change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in Other comprehensive income (‘Oci’);

–  the remaining change is presented in profit or loss; and

– 

if this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the 
changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss. Otherwise, the following requirements have 
generally been carried forward unchanged from AAsb 139 into AAsb 9

AASB 16 Leases (February 2017)

AAsb 16:

>  replaces AAsb 117 Leases and some lease-related interpretations;

>  requires all leases to be accounted for ‘on-balance sheet’ by lessees, other than short-term and low value 

asset leases;

>  provides new guidance on the application of the definition of lease and on sale and lease back accounting;

> 

largely retains the existing lessor accounting requirements in AAsb 117; and

>  requires new and different disclosures about leases.

management has reviewed the applicable provisions relating to the group’s position as a lessor and lessee 
under the new standard when it is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2020.

in relation to the group being a lessor of operating leases of wearables under subscription arrangements 
the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the 
financial statements.

in relation to the group being a lessee it is expected that the first-time adoption of AAsb 16 for the year 
ending 30 June 2020 will have the following impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the 
financial statements, in particular:

> 

lease assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheet will increase by $6,219,735 and $4,243,379 
respectively (based on the facts at the date of the assessment);

>  there will be a reduction in the reported equity as the carrying amount of lease assets will reduce more 

quickly than the carrying amount of lease liabilities;

>  ebit in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income will be higher as the implicit 

interest in lease payments for former off balance sheet leases will be presented as part of finance costs 
rather than being included in operating expenses; and

>  operating cash outflows will be lower and financing cash flows will be higher in the statement of cash 

flows as principal repayments on all lease liabilities will now be included in financing activities rather than 
operating activities. interest can also be included within financing activities.

AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for 
Unrealised Losses (1 January 2017)

AAsb 2016-1 amends AAsb 112 Income Taxes to clarify how to account for deferred tax assets related to debt 
instruments measured at fair value, particularly where changes in the market interest rate decrease the fair 
value of a debt instrument below cost.

when these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2018, there will be no material 
impact on the financial statements.

AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 
107 (1 January 2017)

AAsb 2016-2 amends AAsb 107 Statement of Cash Flows to require entities preparing financial statements 
in accordance with tier 1 reporting requirements to provide disclosures that enable users of financial

statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising 
from cash flows and non-cash changes.

when these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2018, there will be no material 
impact on the financial statements.

4. 

SIGnIFICAnt ACCOuntInG POLICIES

4.1  Overall considerations

the consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies and 
measurement bases summarised below.

4.2  Basis of consolidation

the group financial statements consolidate those of the parent company and all of its subsidiaries as 
of 30 June 2017. the parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its 
involvement with the subsidiary and could affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All 
subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June.

All transactions and balances between group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised 
gains and losses on transactions between group companies. where unrealised losses on intra-group asset 
sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group 
perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where 
necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the group.

profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are 
recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.

non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss 
and net assets that is not held by the group. the group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of 
subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective 
ownership interests.

4.3  Business combination

the group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. the consideration 
transferred by the group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair 
values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the group, which includes 
the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs 
are expensed as incurred.

the group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination 
regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree’s financial statements prior to 
the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date 
fair values.

goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. it is calculated as the excess 
of the sum of (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling 
interest in the acquire, and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over 
the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets. if the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed 
the sum calculated above, the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or 
loss immediately.

4.4  Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

the consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars (‘Aud’), which is also the functional 
currency of the parent company.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective group entity, using 
the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). foreign exchange gains 
and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary 
items at year end exchange rates are recognised in profit or loss.

non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are measured at historical cost (translated using 
the exchange rates at the date of the transaction), except for non-monetary items measured at fair value 
which are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.

Foreign operations

in the group’s financial statements, all assets, liabilities and transactions of group entities with a functional 
currency other than the Aud are translated into Aud upon consolidation. the functional currency of the 
entities in the group has remained unchanged during the reporting period.

On consolidation, assets and liabilities have been translated into Aud at the closing rate at the reporting 
date. income and expenses have been translated into Aud at the average rate over the reporting period. 
exchange differences are charged or credited to other comprehensive income and recognised in the currency 
translation reserve in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation the cumulative translation differences 
recognised in equity are reclassified to profit or loss and recognised as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

4.5  Revenue

Revenue arises from the sale of goods and the rendering of services, it is measured by reference to the fair 
value of consideration received or receivable, excluding sales taxes, rebates, and trade discounts.

the group enters into sales transactions involving an outright sale to the client, on a subscription basis or for 
the rendering of services. the group applies the revenue recognition criteria set out below to each separately 
identifiable component of the sales transaction in order to reflect the substance of the transaction.

Outright sale of goods

Outright sale of goods is recognised when the group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and 
rewards of ownership. the timing of the transfer of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual 
terms of the sales agreement. for sales of wearable units the transfer usually occurs when the customer has 
taken undisputed delivery of the goods. for sales of hardware in the video analytics business the transfer 
usually occurs on despatch of the goods from catapult’s premises.

Subscription and Services

(i)  Wearables Subscription sale

the group generates revenues from subscription sales and once the customer has taken undisputed delivery 
of the goods, the revenue from the subscription agreement is recognised on a monthly basis in equal amounts 
for each month of the subscription agreement.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2017

51

in determining that wearable subscription constitute an operating lease under AAsb 117 the group 
considers the nature of the term of the agreement and the useful life of the goods being provided under 
the subscription agreement.

(ii)  Rendering of Services

the group is involved in providing software, support and maintenances services. the group 
recognises revenue from such activities on a monthly basis in equal amounts for each month of the 
subscription agreement.

(iii)  Multiple Element contracts

the group’s sub-elite wearables offering includes an ‘outright sale’ element for the gps tracking unit sold 
to the customer and a ‘rendering of services’ element for the hosted software platform that customers have 
access to over the duration of the sales agreement. the consideration received for the bundled offering is 
allocated to each element on the basis of relative fair value. the fair value used for allocating revenue is based 
on customer contracts and internal pricing models. the revenues associated with the ‘Outright sale’ and 
‘Rendering of services’ elements of the sales agreements are recognised on the basis set-out above.

(iv)  Content Licensing

the group is involved in the provision of licensed video content to customers. where video content is 
purchased on a one-off basis associated revenue is recognised upon delivery of the licensed content. where 
video content is purchased via a term contract with content available for consumption during the contract 
term, associated revenue is recognised on a monthly basis in equal amounts for each month of the content 
licensing agreement.

Interest and dividend income

interest income and expenses are reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. dividends, 
other than those from investments in associates, are recognised at the time the right to receive payment 
is established.

4.6  Operating expenses

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin. 
expenditure for warranties is recognised and charged against the associated provision when the related 
revenue is recognised.

4.7  Borrowing costs

borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are 
capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use 
or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance 
costs (see note 23).

4.8  Goodwill

goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from a business combination that are not 
individually identified and separately recognised. see note 4.3 for information on how goodwill is initially 
determined. goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Refer to note 14.1 for a 
description of impairment testing procedures.

4.9  Other intangible assets

Recognition of other intangible assets

Acquired intangible assets

Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install 
the specific software. brand names and customer lists acquired in a business combination that qualify for 
separate recognition are recognised as intangible assets at their fair values (see note 4.3).

Internally developed software

expenditure on the research phase of projects to develop new customised software for athlete tracking and 
analytic analysis is recognised as an expense as incurred.

costs that are directly attributable to a project’s development phase are recognised as intangible assets, 
provided they meet the following recognition requirements:

>  the development costs can be measured reliably;

>  the project is technically and commercially feasible;

>  the group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the project;

>  the group has the ability to use or sell the software; and

>  the software will generate probable future economic benefits.

development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalisation are expensed as incurred.

directly attributable costs include employee costs and costs incurred on software development.

Internally developed hardware

expenditure on the research phase of projects to develop new hardware for athlete tracking and analytic 
analysis is recognised as an expense as incurred.

costs that are directly attributable to a project’s development phase are recognised as intangible assets, 
provided they meet the following recognition requirements:

>  the development costs can be measured reliably;

>  the project is technically and commercially feasible;

>  the group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the project;

>  the group has the ability to use or sell the hardware; and

>  the hardware will generate probable future economic benefits.

development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalisation are expensed as incurred.

directly attributable costs include employee costs and costs incurred on hardware development.

Subsequent measurement

All intangible assets, including capitalised internally developed software and hardware, are accounted for 
using the cost model whereby capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated 
useful lives, as these assets are considered finite. Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each 
reporting date. in addition, they are subject to impairment testing as described in note 4.12.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2017

53

the following useful lives are applied:

>  software (licenses and internally developed): 4 – 5 years, except with regard to identified projects with 

2 years;

>  brand names: annually assessed by management for impairment;

>  customer lists: 7 – 10 years;

>  hardware: 3 years;

>  distributor relationships: 10 years;

>  distributor contracts: 10 years; and

>  goodwill: annually assessed by management for impairment.

Amortisation has been included within depreciation, amortisation and impairment of non-financial assets.

subsequent expenditures on the maintenance of computer software and brand names are expensed 
as incurred.

when an intangible asset is disposed of, the gain or loss on disposal is determined as the difference between 
the proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is recognised in profit or loss within other income or 
other expenses.

4.10  Property, plant and equipment

Plant, IT equipment and other equipment

plant, it equipment and other equipment (comprising fittings and furniture) are initially recognised at 
acquisition cost or manufacturing cost, including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to 
the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the group’s 
management. plant, it equipment and other equipment are subsequently measured using the cost model, 
cost less subsequent precaution and impairment losses.

depreciation is recognised on a diminishing-value basis to write down the cost less estimated residual value 
of plant buildings, it equipment and other equipment. the following useful lives are applied:

>  plant 3-10 years;

>  office equipment 3-20 years;

>  fixture and fittings 20 years;

>  other equipment 2-7 years; and

>  property improvements 7 years.

depreciation is recognised on a straight line basis to write down the cost less estimated residual value of 
subscription, service and demonstration wearable units over their useful life of 4 years.

in the case of leasehold property, expected useful lives are determined by reference to comparable owned 
assets or over the term of the lease, if shorter.

material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually.

gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference 
between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in profit or loss 
within other income or other expenses.

4.11  Leased assets

Operating leases

where the group is a lessee, payments on operating lease agreements are recognised as an expense on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed 
as incurred.

4.12  Impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

for impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely 
independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for 
impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating 
units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the related business combination and represent the 
lowest level within the group at which management monitors goodwill.

cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated (determined by the group’s management as 
equivalent to its operating segments) are tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets 
or cash-generating units 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 or cash-generating unit’s carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. 
to determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating 
unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. 
the data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the group’s latest approved budget, 
adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. discount 
factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment 
of respective risk profiles, such as market and asset-specific risks factors.

impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated 
to that cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the 
cash-generating unit. with the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications 
that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the 
cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

4.13  Financial instruments

Recognition, Initial Measurement and De-recognition

financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the financial instrument, and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions 
costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. 
subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.

financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset 
expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability 
is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2017

55

Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Assets

for the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as 
hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

>  loans and receivables;

>  financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (‘fvtpl’);

>  held-to-maturity (‘htm’) investments; or

>  Available-for-sale (‘Afs’) financial assets.

All financial assets except for those at fvtpl are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting 
date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is 
impaired. different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which 
are described below.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within 
finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is 
presented within other expenses.

Loans and Receivables

loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not 
quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less provision for impairment. discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is 
immaterial. the group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category 
of financial instruments.

individually significant receivables are considered for impairment when they are past due or when other 
objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default. Receivables that are not considered 
to be individually impaired are reviewed for impairment in groups, which are determined by reference to 
the industry and region of a counterparty and other shared credit risk characteristics. the impairment loss 
estimate is then based on recent historical counterparty default rates for each identified group.

Classification and subsequent measurement of Financial Liabilities

the group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative 
financial instruments.

financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except 
for financial liabilities held for trading or designated at fvtpl, that are carried subsequently at fair value 
with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. All derivative financial instruments that are not designated 
and effective as hedging instruments are accounted for at fvtpl.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fvtpl except for derivatives designated as hedging 
instruments in cash flow hedge relationships, which requires a specific accounting treatment.

4.14  Inventories

inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. cost includes all expenses directly 
attributable to the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of related production overheads, 
based on normal operating capacity. costs of ordinarily interchangeable items are assigned using the first in, 
first out cost formula. net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less 
any applicable selling expenses.

SIGnIFICAnt ACCOuntInG POLICIES (continued)

4.15  Income taxes

tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised 
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, the Australian 
taxation Office (‘AtO’) and other fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are 
unpaid at the reporting date. current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the 
financial statements. calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted 
or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. however, deferred tax is not provided on 
the initial recognition of goodwill or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related 
transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. deferred tax on temporary 
differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these 
temporary differences can be controlled by the group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the 
foreseeable future.

deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply 
to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the 
reporting period.

deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilised 
against future taxable income, based on the group’s forecast of future operating results which is adjusted 
for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. 
deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.

deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the group has a right and intention to set off current 
tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.

changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or expense in profit 
or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income (such as the 
revaluation of land) or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in other 
comprehensive income or equity, respectively.

catapult group international ltd and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the 
tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred 
tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.

4.16  Cash and cash equivalents

cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, 
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to 
an insignificant risk of changes in value.

4.17  Equity, reserves and dividend payments

share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued. Any transaction costs associated with 
the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits.

Other components of equity include the following:

>  foreign currency translation reserve – comprises foreign currency translation differences arising on the 

translation of financial statements of the group’s foreign entities into Aud (see note 4.4); and

>  share option reserve – comprises the grant date fair value of options issued but not exercised.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2017

57

Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits.

dividend distributions payable to equity shareholders are included in other liabilities when the dividends have 
been approved in a general meeting prior to the reporting date.

All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity.

4.18  Post-employment benefits and short-term employee benefits

Post-employment Benefit Plans

the group provides post-employment benefits through defined contribution plans.

Short-term Employee Benefits

short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled 
wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related 
service. examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick 
leave. short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when 
the liabilities are settled.

4.19  Share-based employee remuneration

the group operates equity-settled share-based remuneration plans for its employees. none of the group’s 
plans feature any options for a cash settlement.

All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any share-based payment are measured at 
their fair values. where employees are rewarded using share-based payments, the fair values of employees’ 
services are determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. this fair 
value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of non-market vesting conditions (for example 
performance conditions).

All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognised as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding 
credit to share option reserve. if vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated 
over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected 
to vest.

non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected 
to become exercisable. estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share 
options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is 
recognised in the current period. no adjustment is made to any expense recognised in prior periods if share 
options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting.

upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are 
allocated to share capital.

4.20 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

provisions for product warranties, legal disputes, onerous contracts or other claims 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 economic resources will be required from the group and amounts can be estimated reliably. timing or 
amount of the outflow may still be uncertain.

Restructuring provisions are recognised only if a detailed formal plan for the restructuring has been 
developed and implemented, or management has at least announced the plan’s main features to those 
affected by it. provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

SIGnIFICAnt ACCOuntInG POLICIES (continued)

4.20 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets (continued)

provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on 
the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated 
with the present obligation. where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow 
will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. provisions are 
discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.

Any reimbursement that the group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to 
the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. however, this asset may not exceed the amount of the 
related provision.

no liability is recognised if an outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligation is not probable. 
such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the outflow of resources is remote in which case 
no liability is recognised.

4.21  Goods and Services Tax, Sales taxes and Value Added Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of gst, except where the amount of 
gst incurred is not recoverable from the appropriate tax authority in the relevant tax jurisdiction. in these 
circumstances the gst is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of 
the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of gst.

cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the gst components 
of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

4.22  Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies

when preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and 
assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Significant management judgement

the following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the group that 
have the most significant effect on the financial statements.

Recognition of subscription revenue and rental units

determining when to recognise revenues from subscription agreements requires an understanding of the 
customer’s use and the useful life of the products, historical experience and knowledge of the market. the 
company provides gps tracking units for team sports under both an up-front sales model and a subscription 
model. under the subscription model, the customer has the right to use the gps tracking units for the 
period of the subscription, however must return the unit to the group at the end of the subscription period. 
management have considered various factors under AAsb 117 Leases as to whether a component of the 
subscription agreements represents a finance or operating lease. these include:

>  the gps tracking units for the majority of subscription contracts have a subscription period no more than 

75% of the useful life of the units; and

>  Risk in the fair wear and tear of gps tracking units remains with the group.

As a result this component of the subscription agreements has been considered an operating lease with the 
group as lessor. As such, those gps tracking units provided under subscription agreements have been capitalised 
as ‘Rental units’ under property, plant and equipment and are amortised over their estimated useful life.

All revenue under subscription sales is therefore recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the 
subscription period, reflecting management’s best estimate of the delivery of services and provision of the 
rental units over the term of the agreements.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2017

Recognition of deferred tax assets

the extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability 
of the group’s future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised, as described in 
note 16. in addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits 
or uncertainties in various tax jurisdictions.

Estimation uncertainty

information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition 
and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be 
substantially different.

Impairment

in assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating 
unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. estimation uncertainty 
relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate (see 
note 4.12).

Useful lives of depreciable assets

management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on 
the expected utility of the assets. uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may 
change the utility of certain software and it equipment.

Inventories

management estimates the net realisable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence 
available at each reporting date. the future realisation of these inventories may be affected by future 
technology or other market-driven changes that may reduce future selling prices.

Business combinations

management uses valuation techniques in determining the fair values of the various elements of a business 
combination (see note 4.3). particularly, the fair value of contingent consideration is dependent on the 
outcome of many variables that affect future profitability (see note 5).

4.23  Going concern

the financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the consolidated entity is a going concern, 
which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of 
liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

the consolidated group incurred a loss after tax of $13,581,000 and had net cash outflow from operating 
activities of $8,844,000.

notwithstanding this, the directors are of the view that the going concern principle is appropriate due to the 
following factors:

>  the consolidated entity has continued to successfully secure sale arrangements with many leading 

sporting organisations across the world for which revenues and cash inflows will be recognised in future 
reporting periods;

>  the business has put in place appropriate staffing globally to execute the growth strategy outlined in the 

may 2017 capital raising; and

>  the acquisition of XOs brings a mature, cash generating entity into the group enabling the consolidated 

operation to finance its day to day operations more effectively, better balance profitability with 
investment, and provide additional capital to fund strategic growth opportunities.

SEGmEnt REPORtInG

For the year ended 30 June 2017

management identifies its operating segments based on the group’s business units which represent the main 
products and services provided by the group. the group’s two main operating segments are:

>  wearables: design, development and supply of wearable technology and analytic software to athletes and 

sports teams; and

>  video Analytics: develops and provides innovative digital and video analytic software solutions to elite 

sports teams.

these operating segments are monitored and strategic decisions are made on the basis of adjusted segment 
operating results. the basis of segmentation has changed since the prior period where only one segment 
was identified. prior year comparative data cannot be provided for operating segment ebitdA and profit as 
such data was not collated prior to the introduction of the current accounting software used by the group 
introduced in december 2015. the geographical revenue analysis is included to provide comparative results 
with the prior corresponding period in a format consistent with prior periods.

the revenues and profit generated by each of the group’s operating segments and segment assets are 
summarised as follows:

the recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units were determined based on value-in-use calculations, 
covering detailed five-year forecast, followed by a terminal growth rate of expected cash flows for the units. 
growth rates are determined by management. the present value of the expected cash flows of each segment 
is determined by applying a suitable discount rate.

in measuring value in use cash flow projections are based on:

(a) reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent management’s best estimate of the range of 

economic conditions that will exist over the remaining useful life of the asset;

(b) most recent financial budgets/forecasts approved by management, but exclude any estimated future 
cash inflows or outflows expected to arise from future restructurings or from improving or enhancing 
the asset’s performance; and

(c)  estimates cash flow projections beyond the period covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts by 

extrapolating the projections based on the budgets/forecasts using a steady or declining growth rate  
for subsequent years.

14.2  Growth Rates

five years of cash flows were included in the discounted cash flow model. the cash flow projections included 
specific estimates for five years and a terminal growth rate thereafter. the terminal growth rate was 
determined based on management’s estimate of the long-term compound annual ebitdA growth rate, 
consistent with the assumptions that a market participant would make.

ebitdA was estimated taking into account past experience, adjusted as follows.

>  Revenue growth was projected taking into account the average growth levels experienced over the past 
five years and the estimated sales volume and price growth for the next five years. it was assumed that 
the sales price would increase in line with forecast inflation over the next five years;

>  significant one-off environmental costs have been factored into the budgeted ebitdA, reflecting various 
potential regulatory developments in a number of european countries in which the cgu operates. Other 
environmental costs are assumed to grow with inflation in other years; and

>  estimated cash flows related to a restructuring that is expected to be carried out in 2017 were reflected 

in the budgeted ebitdA.

the growth rates reflect a conservative management estimate, as publicly published growth rates for this 
industry segment are not readily available.

14.3  Discount Rates

the discount rate reflects appropriate adjustments relating to market risk and specific risk factors of the 
business unit.

the discount rate was a post-tax measure estimated based on the historical industry average weighted-
average cost of capital.

the deferred gain relates to the lease incentives associated with the Aurora lane and chicago premises 
commencing march 2014 and may 2016 respectively. the excess of proceeds received over fair value was 
deferred and is being amortised over the lease term of each lease. in 2017, deferred gain of $157,961 
(2016: $67,277) was recognised in profit or loss relating to this transaction. the subsequent leasing agreement 
is treated as an operating lease. the non-current part of the deferred gain will be amortised between 2017 
and the end each lease term.

All amounts recognised relating to deferred revenue are assessed for current versus non-current classification 
and are applied to revenue as recognised in relation to the timing of the client contract. the group expects to 
recognise $22,380,381 of deferred revenue during fy 2018, with the balance falling into fy 2019 and 2020.

20.2  Share-base employee remuneration

catapult has continued to utilise its established employee share plan (employee plan) to assist in the 
motivation, retention and reward of executives and employees. the employee plan is designed to align the 
interests of employees with the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity for eligible employees 
(including any person who is a full-time or permanent part-time employee or officer, or director of catapult 
or any related body corporate of catapult) to receive an equity interest in catapult through the granting of 
Options, performance Rights or other Awards.

the shares held by the employee plan trustee are Restricted securities such that the employee plan trustee 
is not able to dispose of them within 24 months of Official Quotation. the key terms of the employee plan  
are set out below:

Eligibility

eligibility to participate in the employee plan and the number of Options, performance Rights or other 
Awards offered to each individual participant, will be determined by the board.

Grants

under the rules of the employee plan, Options, performance Rights and/or other Awards may be offered 
or granted to eligible employees of catapult or any related body corporate of catapult from time to time, 
subject to the discretion of the board.

Terms and conditions

the board has the discretion to set the terms and conditions (including conditions in relation to vesting, 
disposal restrictions or forfeiture and any applicable exercise price) on which it will offer or grant Options, 
performance Rights or other Awards under the employee plan and may set different terms and conditions 
which apply to different participants in the employee plan. the board will determine the procedure for 
offering or granting Options, performance Rights and/or other Awards (including the form, terms and 
content of any offer, invitation or acceptance procedure) in accordance with the rules of the employee plan.

Vesting conditions

Options and performance Rights and other Awards will vest and become exercisable to the extent that the 
applicable performance, service, or other vesting conditions specified at the time of the grant are satisfied 

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2017

(collectively the ‘vesting conditions’). vesting conditions may include conditions relating to continuous 
employment or service, the individual performance of the participant and/or catapult’s performance and  
the exercise price (if any) being less than the current market price of the underlying share as at vesting.

typically, the vesting conditions must be satisfied within a predetermined vesting period.

both the vesting conditions and the vesting period are set by the board in its discretion, and may be waived 
by the board in its discretion.

Vesting period for Options

for Options granted prior to the Original prospectus date, board has in not altered the vesting periods 
for Options granted prior to the Original prospectus date, with the exception of 57,500 Options which the 
service conditions were waived during the last financial year and the shares were excercised during the 
current financial year, under the discretion of the board.

for Options granted during the current financial period, the board has retained a general policy of 3 years 
from the Options grant date. Of the Options issued during the year, the board made exceptions to a total 
of 6,600,000 Options, where their vesting periods permitted partial vesting of the Options granted on the 
annual anniversary over a three – five year period.

Vesting period for Performance Rights

the board has set a vesting period for the grant of the performance Rights prior to the Original prospectus 
date and for the offer of performance Rights to eligible employees pursuant to the employee Offer under 
the prospectus as 3 years from the date on which the performance Rights are granted.

for performance rights on issue, the board has not altered the vesting periods with the exception of 25,000 
performance rights for which the service conditions were waived during the last financial year and the shares 
were excercised during the current financial year, under the discretion of the board.

shares issued (including shares issued upon exercise of Options or performance Rights granted) under the 
employee plan will rank equally in all respects with the other issued shares.

subject to satisfaction of vesting conditions, a participant may exercise an Option, performance Right or 
other Award by lodging an exercise notice with catapult and complying with any requirements under the 
employee plan.

A participant will have a vested and indefeasible entitlement to any dividends declared and distributed by 
catapult on any shares which, at the books closing date for determining entitlement to those dividends, are 
standing to the account of the participant. A participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to shares 
registered in the participant’s name.

catapult may, in its discretion, issue new shares or cause existing shares to be acquired or transferred to the 
participant, or a combination of both alternatives, to satisfy catapult’s obligations under the employee plan. 
if catapult determines to cause the transfer of shares to a participant, the shares may be acquired in such 
manner as catapult considers appropriate, including from a trustee appointed under the employee plan.

pursuant to the employee plan, catapult has appointed the employee plan trustee to acquire and hold shares 
on behalf of participants and for the purposes of the employee plan. catapult may give directions to the 
employee plan trustee as contemplated in the trust deed or if in connection with any Award. the employee 
plan trustee holds 3,738,898 shares on behalf of participants and for the purposes of the employee plan. 
the employee plan trustee has entered into a restriction agreement with catapult, pursuant to which those 
shares are subject to escrow for a period of 24 months commencing on the date of Official Quotation.

notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

20.  EmPLOYEE REmunERAtIOn (continued)

20.2  Share-base employee remuneration (continued)

Vesting period for Performance Rights (continued)

Options, performance Rights and other Awards which have not been exercised will be forfeited if the 
applicable vesting conditions and any other conditions to exercise are not met during the prescribed vesting 
period or if they are not exercised before the applicable expiry date. in addition, Options, performance 
Rights and other Awards will lapse if the participant deals with the Options, performance Rights or other 
Awards in breach of the rules of the employee plan or in the opinion of the directors, a participant has acted 
fraudulently or with gross misconduct.

Options, performance Rights and other Awards will not be quoted on AsX. catapult will apply for official 
quotation of any shares allotted under the employee plan, unless the board resolves otherwise.

the board may in its absolute discretion determine that a participant is required to pay an exercise price  
to exercise the Options, performance Rights or other Awards offered or granted to that participant.

grants of Options, performance Rights or other Awards under the employee plan to a director may  
be subject to the approval of shareholders, to the extent required under the AsX listing Rules.

participants in the employee plan must not enter into transactions or arrangements, including by way  
of derivatives or similar financial products, which limit the economic risk of holding unvested Awards.

subject to the rules of the employee plan, the board must not offer Options, performance Rights or other 
Awards if the total of the following exceeds 5% of the number of shares on issue at the time of the offer:

>  the number of shares which are the subject of the offer of Awards;

>  the number of shares which are the subject of any outstanding offers of Awards;

>  the number of shares issued during the previous 5 years under the employee plan, but not including 

existing shares transferred to a participant after having been acquired for that purpose; and

>  the number of shares which would be issued under all outstanding Awards that have been granted 

but which have not yet been exercised, terminated or expired, assuming all such Awards were exercised 
ignoring any vesting conditions, but disregarding any offer made, or Award offered or issued or share 
issued by way or as a result of:

–  an offer that does not meet disclosure to investors because of section 708 or section 1012d of the 

corporations Act;

–  an offer made pursuant to a disclosure document or product disclosure statement; or

–  other offers that are excluded from the disclosure requirements under the corporations Act.

the board may impose restrictions on dealing in shares or Awards which are acquired under the employee 
plan, for example, by prohibiting them from being sold, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, charged or 
otherwise disposed of or encumbered for a period of time.

if the board determines that for a taxation, legal, regulatory or compliance reasons it is not appropriate  
to issue or transfer shares, catapult may in lieu of and in final satisfaction of catapult’s obligation to issue 
or transfer shares as required upon the exercise of an Award by a participant, make a cash payment to the 
participant equivalent to the fair market value of the Awards.

where there is a change of control of catapult, including where any person acquires a relevant interest in 
more than 50% of the shares, or where the board concludes that there has been a change in the control of 
catapult, the board will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the manner in which all unvested and 
vested Awards will be dealt with.

where there is a takeover bid made for all of the shares or a scheme of arrangement, selective capital 
reduction or other transaction is initiated which has a similar effect to a full takeover bid for shares, then 
participants are entitled to accept into the takeover offer or participate in the other transaction in respect 
of all or part of their Awards notwithstanding any restriction period has not expired. further, the board may 
in its discretion waive unsatisfied vesting conditions in relation to some or all Awards in the event of such a 
takeover or other transaction.

if, prior to the exercise of an Award, catapult makes a pro-rata bonus issue to shareholders, and the Award is 
not exercised prior to the record date in respect of the bonus issue, the Award will, when exercised, entitle the 
participant to one share plus the number of bonus shares which would have been issued to the participant if 
the Award had been exercised prior to the record date.

if catapult undergoes a capital reorganisation, then the terms of the Awards for the participant will be 
changed to the extent necessary to comply with the AsX listing Rules.

the employee plan also contains terms having regard to Australian law for dealing with the administration, 
variation and termination of the employee plan.

both the basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the loss attributable to shareholders 
of the parent company (catapult group international ltd) as the numerator (i.e no adjustments to profit 
were necessary in 2015 or 2016). 10,606,567 options and performance rights have not been included in 
calculating diluted eps because their effect is anti-dilutive.

the reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares for the purpose of diluted earnings per share 
to the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share are

31.  FInAnCIAL InStRumEnt RISK

31.1  Risk management objectives an polices

the group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. the group’s financial assets and 
liabilities by category are summarised in note 19.1. the main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and 
liquidity risk.

the group’s risk management is coordinated in close cooperation with the board of directors, and focuses 
on actively securing the group’s short to medium-term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial 
markets the group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor 
does it write options. the most significant financial risks to which the group is exposed are described below.

31.2  Market risk analysis

the group is exposed to currency risk resulting from its operating activities.

Foreign Currency Sensitivity

exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the group’s overseas sales and purchases, which are 
primarily denominated in us dollars (usd), pound sterling (gbp), euro (euR) and Japanese yen (Jpy).

foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities which expose the group to currency risk are 
disclosed below. the amounts shown are those translated into $Aud at the closing rate:

31. 

 FInAnCIAL InStRumEnt RISK (continued)

31.3  Credit risk analysis

credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the group. the group is exposed 
to this risk for receivables to customers. the group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the 
carrying amount of the financial assets recognised at the reporting date, as summarised below:

classes of financial assets

>  cash and cash equivalents

>  trade receivables

>  other long term financial assets

6,957

41,905

10,646

the group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually 
or by group, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. where available at reasonable cost, 
external credit ratings and/or reports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. the 
group’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties.

the group’s management considers that all of the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due 
for each of the 30 June reporting dates under review are of good credit quality.

At 30 June the group has certain trade receivables that have not been settled by the contractual due date 
but are not considered to be impaired. the amounts at 30 June, analysed by the length of time past due, are:

not more three (3) months

>  more than three (3) months but not more than six (6) months

>  more than six (6) months but not more than one (1) year

>  more than one (1) year

in respect of trade receivables, the group is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single 
counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. trade receivables consist of a 
large number of customers in various sports and geographical areas. based on historical information about 
customer default rates management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due  
or impaired to be good.

the credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable 
banks with high quality external credit ratings.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2017

95

31.4  Liquidity risk analysis

liquidity risk is the risk that the group might be unable to meet its obligations. the group manages its 
liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as 
forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business. liquidity needs are monitored on a week-to-
week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 90-day projection.

As at 30 June 2017, the group’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities (including 
interest payments where applicable) as summarised below:

30 June 17

us-dollar loans

trade and other payables

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon 

The Directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the 

information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not 

include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any 

form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 

and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 

report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.   

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 

other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors’ for the Financial Report  

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives 

a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 

2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the 

preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material 

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
106

Independent Auditor’s Report

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to 

continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using 

the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or 

to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 

free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 

includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee 

that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a 

material misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are 

considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to 

influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the 

Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:  

http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf.  This description forms part of our 

auditor’s report.
