LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

elite 
wearable

base up 
27% 
to 17,098 
devices

Dear Shareholder,

Catapult has been empowering sports 
scientists, coaches and athletes to train 
and play smarter since 2006. We remain 
committed to delivering on our purpose 
“To build and improve the performance 
of athletes and sporting teams” and  
we are making significant progress 
against this purpose on a global scale.

On behalf of your Board of Directors, it is 
our pleasure to share with you the Catapult 
Group International Ltd Annual Report for 
the financial year ended 30 June 2018.

The 2018 financial year was a year of 
significant strategic progress, strong 
operational achievement and financial 
growth for your company. 

STRATEGIC PROGRESS 
Our primary strategic focus is to own the 
Performance Technology Stack for Elite 
Sport. Our growing and profitable global 
core business successfully highlights 
this focus, encompassing elite wearable 
devices, elite video analytics and our 
athlete management system (AMS). 

Today there are now more than 1,800 
elite organisations in 128 countries from 
35 different sports globally partnering 
with Catapult. These partnerships drove 
a 29% increase in elite wearables revenue 
and a 6% increase in elite video revenue 
in 2018. Total annual recurring revenue 
(ARR) grew by 16%. 

During 2018 Catapult won elite 
wearables business for the first time in 
new countries including Finland, Oman, 
Kenya, Ukraine and Slovakia. We captured 
new league and association wide deals 
with the UK’s Rugby Football League, 
Scottish Rugby, Confederation of African 
Football and AFL Women’s League. In 
2018 we also increased the penetration 
of our elite video products and services 
into our existing customer base with the 
launch of Catapult Vision and successfully 
integrated and leveraged the AMS 
capability we acquired in August 2017. 

The AMS capability enabled us to capture 
new business with the Women’s Tennis 
Association covering 4,000 athletes, 

and facilitated our entry into premier 
football in Japan, with Kashiwa Reysol in 
the J1 League. By partnering with NCAA 
Division 1 Baylor University we have also 
entered into our first full-stack technology 
solution, integrating wearable-derived 
performance data with video analysis 
tools and an AMS. 

Our reputation for being the leader in 
global sports science technology and 
performance was further enhanced as 
the wearables technology provider for  
a market leading 12 countries at the  
2018 World Cup of Football in Russia. 

We are excited about the potential for 
sustained and strong growth from our 
core elite business given the size of the 
addressable market we are pursuing, 
and because so little of today’s growth 
is sourced from clients with more than 
one of the products in the performance 
technology stack. 

Catapult is also focused on the 
development of two more strategic 
priorities. Leveraging Elite into Prosumer 
and Commercialising Elite Wearable and 
Video Data. 

In June 2018 we launched the innovative 
PLAYR product for ‘prosumer’ football 
players. This is an exciting opportunity for 
Catapult as we capture a new and large 
market opportunity of 20 million in football 
alone. The successful and high profile 
PLAYR launch was held in London and we 
are pleased with the early sales of PLAYR 
and the progress the team are making. 

Pleasingly we have also made good 
progress with Commercialising Elite 
Wearable Data during 2018. The 
Australian market has provided good 
examples of early adoption with the AFL,  
NRL, Cricket Australia and NBL all

offering their fans enhanced engagement

in-game data analytics platforms. 

STRONG OPERATING AND 
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 
Highlights from the 2018 financial  
results include:

 › Group revenue of $76.8 million, 
up 26% on a reported basis and 
19% on a pro-forma basis.

 › ARR of $53.4 million, up 16%.

 › Steady average revenue per unit 
(ARPU) and improving churn.

 › Net operating cash flow of  

$6.4 million represented the first  
full year of positive operating cash  
flow for Catapult, highlighting the 
growing profitability of the core elite 
wearables and elite video business. 

 › A strengthened balance sheet to fund 

continued growth, including the recently 
launched new Prosumer product, 
PLAYR, with cash and cash equivalents 
at 30 June 2018 of $31.7 million. 
During the year we successfully raised 
$25 million through an equity placement 
with institutional shareholders.

 › Group underlying EBITDA was 

$1.0 million and reported EBITDA  
loss was $1.9 million, an improvement 
of $1.8 million or 48%.

 › More than 200 new elite clients signed.

 ›

17.1k wearable devices covered by 
subscription contracts, an increase 
of 27%.

 › $9.1 million invested in research and 

development, and a

 › Stronger second half of the financial 

year with revenue growth accelerating 
and expense growth slowing.

Employing more than 300 people  
in a global workforce, Catapult has hub 
offices in the large sporting capitals  
of Melbourne, Boston, Chicago, London 
and Leeds. The quality of our workforce 
continues to improve. During the year 
Catapult recruited Mark Hall as CFO. 
Before joining Catapult Mark was the 
Deputy CFO at Telstra. Other senior 
executives who joined the team during 
2018 were Marcus Williams as Head of 

Market Strategy and Markus Ziemer as 
General Counsel and Company Secretary. 
We will continue to bolster the quality of 
the workforce to ensure we have the right 
team to take advantage of the unique 
global growth opportunities in front of us.

It is also pleasing that two of Catapult’s 
founders Shaun Holthouse and Igor 
Van De Griendt continue to provide the 
Catapult business with valuable insight 
and support as Executive Directors. 

OUTLOOK
We are uniquely positioned to continue 
our journey as a high growth global 
business operating at the exciting 
intersection of technology and sport. 

We are excited about the opportunity 
for continued strong growth from 
our elite core business given the large 
addressable market available and the 
innovative products we will continue to 
bring to market. Complementing this is 
the phenomenal potential for the recently 
launched Prosumer product, PLAYR, to 
revolutionise football participation and 
performance, opening up a massive and 
new addressable market opportunity  
of 20 million in football alone. 

Finally, the Board and CEO wishes 
to thank the athletes, teams and 
shareholders for their continued support 
in the past year. Catapult’s continued 
growth and drive towards its purpose 
would not be possible without the support 
of the Board, the Executive team and the 
strong contributions from all of our hard 
working employees right across the  
globe, thank you.

Regards,

Adir Shiffman 
Executive Chairman

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The 2018 financial year was a year  
of significant strategic progress  
and strong operational and financial 
achievement for Catapult. Our core 
business, centred around elite wearable 
and elite video, is profitable and cash 
flow positive. 

League and association-wide deals signed with.

For the first time, Catapult won elite 
wearables business in new countries 
including Finland, Oman, Kenya, Ukraine 
and Slovakia. We captured new league 
and association wide deals with the UK’s 
Rugby Football League, Scottish Rugby 
and AFL Women’s League. We also 
increased the penetration of our XOS 
elite video products and services into our 
existing customer base, and successfully 
integrated and leveraged the athlete 
management system (AMS) capability 
we acquired in August 2017. 

The AMS capability enabled us to capture 
new business with the Women’s Tennis 
Association covering 4,000 athletes, 
and facilitated our entry into premier 

football in Japan, with Kashiwa Reysol in 
the J1 League. By partnering with NCAA 
Division 1 Baylor University we have also 
entered into our first full-stack technology 
solution, integrating wearable-derived 
performance data with video analysis 
tools and an athlete management system. 

Today there are now more than 1,800 
elite teams across 35 different sports 
globally partnering with Catapult. These 
partnerships have driven a 29% increase in 
elite wearables revenue, and a 6% increase 
in elite video revenue in 2018. Total annual 
recurring revenue (ARR) grew by 17% to 
$53.4 million. Total reported revenue grew

operating and financial review.

Annual  Report  201816

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT.)

EVENTS ARISING SINCE THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

The Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance that has arisen since the end of the 
financial year that, in their opinion, has significantly affected, or may significantly affect in future 
years, Catapult’s operations, the results of those operations or the state of Catapult’s affairs.

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. 

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 or sectors, in particular sports business and 
consumer sectors, 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 new technologies or 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.

Catapult  Group International Limited17

Cyber security

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 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, profitability and growth prospects. The loss of client data could have severe 
impacts to client service, reputation, and the ability for clients to use the products.

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 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, 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 outside Australia. 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 protect, 
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 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. 

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.

Annual  Report  201818

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT.)

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. 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 software 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 software 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 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.

Catapult  Group International LimitedDIRECTORS’ REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

21

The Directors of Catapult Group International Ltd present the Remuneration Report for Non-Executive 
Directors, Executive Directors and other Key Management Personnel, prepared in accordance with 
the Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

REMUNERATION REPORT 

Letter from the Chairman of the Nominations and Remuneration Committee

Dear Shareholders,

Catapult’s 2018 Remuneration Report provides information about the remuneration of our  
key management personnel for the year just completed. It also explains the significant amount  
of work we have done to revise our remuneration policy effective from 1 July 2018.

Ours is a young, high growth, global business with a strong focus of building our product stack for 
our target markets. We are engaged in a highly competitive and dynamic global business where 
there is real competition for the best human talent. As the global leader in the rapidly expanding 
sports technology market it is unsurprising that our staff are highly sought after. Your Board  
is mindful that our remuneration practices ensure we continue to attract and retain the high 
performance talent we need to realise Catapult’s true potential.

Key Metrics in FY18

Catapult’s remuneration incentives mirror the strategic focus of the business; namely, penetration 
of the company’s technology stack in our addressable market. This requires commitment to driving 
sales into elite sports and allocating available funds to grow our technology offering.

Accordingly, the short-term incentive targets for our executive team for FY18 focused on revenue 
growth and positive underlying EBITDA. With our leadership team motivated to drive revenue growth, 
it was positive to see the 26% lift in revenue, which was within guidance range. This impressive 
growth further enhances Catapult’s position as the leader in the elite sports technology market.  
As a fair reflection of the performance achieved against the targets set, by the leadership team, 
the Directors have endorsed the partial grant of short term incentive payments as detailed in  
this report. 

Revised Remuneration Policy

Your Board has taken seriously the strong message sent by the “first strike” vote recorded  
against the company’s remuneration report at the November 2017 AGM. 

As a first step, the company engaged an independent remuneration consultant to benchmark 
executive remuneration.

After listening to a range of views from shareholders and taking independent expert advice, the 
Nominations and Remunerations Committee has reviewed and revised Catapult’s remuneration 
policies effective FY19. The revised policy enhances the focus on alignment between executive 
remuneration and shareholder interests and includes the following key improvements:

• 

long term incentive equity grant terms to include a total shareholder return hurdle, with a nil  
award where compounding annual growth rate is below 12.5% pa, 

•  transition to deferral of STI awards through equity awards to create increased shareholder 

alignment, motivate retention and preserve cash, and

•  greater clarity, transparency and certainty around our remuneration practices.

As Catapult continues to grow its revenue, staff numbers and market share, the Board is committed 
to continuous improvement of the rigour and discipline we are applying to our incentive policies and 
believe that the revisions will further align motivation of our executives with positive outcomes for 
all our shareholders. More information is outlined in the following report.

Annual  Report  201822

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT.)
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONT.)

The Board 

Our Board composition is a reflection of Catapult’s unique short life as a public company.  
The Board remains committed to high governance standards. It is also well served by its present 
mix of non-executive and executive directors with extensive and detailed knowledge of the business 
and the high growth sports technology market which the company leads on a global scale.

With two founder executive directors and a significant equity holder as executive chairman,  
we acknowledge we do not fit the textbook model of Board composition. The independent  
directors on the Nominations and Remuneration Committee consider the ongoing role and  
related remuneration of the executive directors add significant value to the business. They bring  
a unique competitive advantage to the business through their deep relevant experience and are 
important for Catapult in the context of its early life stage. 

We also acknowledge that over the medium term it will be appropriate to review the composition  
of the Catapult Board. We anticipate an evolution of the Board composition to address the 
diversity and skills mix appropriate for the next phase of growth of this ambitious, listed sports 
technology business.

On behalf of the Directors, we trust that the following report and analysis properly informs your 
understanding of Catapult’s remuneration arrangements and the changes we have implemented.

Brent Scrimshaw  
Independent Director 

Chairman Nominations and Remuneration Committee 

PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT  
OF REMUNERATION APPLICABLE IN FY18 

The principles of the Group’s executive strategy and supporting incentive programs and 
frameworks are:

•  to align rewards to business outcomes that deliver value to shareholders

•  to drive a high-performance culture by setting challenging objectives and rewarding high 

performing individuals; and

•  to ensure remuneration is competitive in the relevant employment market place to support  

the attraction, motivation and retention of executive talent.

The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee which operates  
in accordance with its charter as approved by the Board and is responsible for determining  
and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the Executive Team.

The remuneration structure adopted by the Group applicable for FY18 consists of the  
following components:

•  fixed remuneration being annual salary;

•  short term incentives, being employee bonuses; and

•  options

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount 
of remuneration on a periodic basis by reference to recent employment market conditions with the 
overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality Board 
and Executive Team.

The metrics for earning short and long-term incentives are reviewed by the Nomination  
and Remuneration Committee annually as part of the review of executive remuneration  
and a recommendation is put to the Board for approval. All bonuses, options and incentives  
must be linked to pre-determined performance criteria.

Catapult  Group International Limited23

Short Term Incentive (STI)

The Group’s performance measures involve the use of annual performance objectives, financial 
metrics, performance appraisals and continuing emphasis on living the Company values.

The performance measures are set annually after consultation with the Directors and executives 
and are specifically tailored to the areas where each executive has a level of control. 

The measures target areas the Board believes hold the greatest potential for expansion and profit 
and cover financial and non-financial measures.

The Key Performance Indicators (‘KPI’s’) for the Executive Team are summarised as follows:

Performance area:

•  financial – consistent with the early growth stage focus of the business key metrics of achieving 

revenue growth targets and underlying EBITDA; and

•  non-financial – strategic goals set in relation to each executive’s business unit objectives and job 

description.

Some key financial performance measures are highlighted in the following table.

The board determined that the best alignment with company strategy was to build revenue through 
growth in sales and market share. The executive team was accordingly set financial targets relating 
to revenue and underlying EBITDA.

The STI Program for FY18 is a cash bonus for the Executive Team and other employees consistent 
with the remuneration policy in place at the start of FY18.

(i)  For KMP who joined the Group during the period the Total Amount at Risk amount relates to a 12-month period, so it is 

provided on a consistent basis to other KMP listed in the table. The percentage amounts shown for vested, forfeited and 
undetermined are based on the pro-rata mounts that the KMP is entitled to from date of joining the Group to 30 June 2018.

The Board believes that the achievements of these targets has benefited Catapult and shareholders 
in that the company has achieved significant and material advancement of its strategy to penetrate 
the global addressable market in elite sports technology. This is reflected in the 26% year on year 
growth in revenue which was a key performance metric set for achievement at the outset of FY18. 
This is consistent with the objectives of building Catapult’s technology stack and positioning the 
business to reap the long-term rewards of subscription income over multiple years and rewards 
success in overcoming the material challenges of building profile and customer base in a highly 
competitive market.

Long Term Incentive (LTI)

Under existing remuneration policy, equity incentives in the form of premium priced options have 
been provided to senior executives at or about the date of their appointment. Other than Mark Hall, 
who joined the business during FY18, no new grants of equity were made during FY18 to executives 
who were employed in the business at the start of FY18. The details set out in this report showing 
equity benefits for executives who were employed as at 1 July 2017 reflect the accounting value  
of multiple year awards made to those executives in prior periods. These awards were considered  
a mechanism for motivation, reward and retention of employees. 

The remuneration policy including the LTI policy has been reviewed and revised with effect  
from 1 July 2018. The Board will continue to focus executive ‘at risk’ remuneration to achieving 
goals and targets that are necessary to achieve value accretion in CAT’s share price, short-term 
volatility notwithstanding.

Set out in the tables in the following pages are the remuneration and option and rights holdings  
of KMP.

OUTCOMES OF REMUNERATION STRATEGY REVIEW EFFECTIVE 1 JULY 2018 

The Board identified the need to set a clearer remuneration strategy and guidelines to satisfy 
generally accepted market conventions and to provide a clear path to its future growth that can  
be understood both internally (Board, employee and executives) and externally (shareholders and 
other stakeholders).

Following an independent review of the Catapult remuneration strategy by Crichton & Associates 
Pty Limited (Independent Remuneration Consultants) the following revised strategy was adopted 
to take effect from 1 July 2018, as follows:

•  The CEO will receive a strategic mix of remuneration consisting of fixed and ‘at risk’ components. 
The ‘at risk’ components will consist of short-term incentives (STI) and long-term incentives (LTI) 
under a clearly defined framework;

•  Selected executives reporting to the CEO will receive a performance balanced remuneration mix;

•  Selected other executives will receive fixed annual remuneration (FAR) and STI with the STI 

awarded in both cash and equity (with deferral); and 

•  All other employees will receive FAR, or FAR and STI. They may also be eligible to participate in 

Catapult Sports Employee Share Plan (CSESP) previously approved by shareholders, on specific 
terms to be determined.

Catapult’s target strategic mix of remuneration to be effective from 1 July 2018 is as follows:

geographic location

REMUNERATION TO BE DELIVERED AS:

Base salary plus any 
allowances (includes 
superannuation for 
Australian Executives)

Paid as cash on completion of  
the relevant performance period. 
Deferral of a portion of the STI  
into equity (performance rights)  
to be considered for individual roles

Awarded as equity and vest  
(or not) at the end of the 
performance period 

TOTAL ANNUAL REMUNERATION (TAR) OR TOTAL TARGET REMUNERATION (TTR)

TAR or TTR is intended to be positioned in the 3rd quartile compared to relevant market  
based comparisons. 

4th quartile TAR or TTR may be derived if demonstrable out performance is achieved by  
Catapult Group.

These remuneration objectives will be reviewed annually by the Board. Any variation from these 
objectives will be considered on a ‘case’ by ‘case’ basis to ensure Catapult retains flexibility in the 
various international markets in which it operates.

The following table sets out the revised criteria for STI awards as recommended by the Independent 
Remuneration Consultants, reviewed by the Nominations and Remuneration Committee and 
adopted by the Board. STI awards will continue to be measured against business critical financial, 
Group and business unit objectives. Performance gates will be set annually to determine the 
threshold standard to be met for eligibility for the financial metrics related portion of the STI 
award. The performance gate will emphasise and drive executive performance alignment with 
shareholder interests. In setting the financial and personal KPIs and the performance gate, the 
Board will apply measurable and controllable objectives which align with strategic objectives  
and enhance shareholder value.

Catapult  Group International Limited35

An important development in the revised STI policy to apply from 1 July 2018, is the transition  
to deferral of STI through a Board determined proportion of annual STI awards to be awarded  
as equity. Such awards will be forfeited if the participant leaves their employment with Catapult 
before the vesting date. This service condition can be waived only in exceptional circumstances.  
The number of equity units awarded will be determined as at 1 July in the year after the completion 
of the performance period, based on the 5 day VWAP applicable on that date.

For disclosed executives (KMP) STI awards will be weighted towards financial 
outcomes and/or be subject to a financial performance gate or cap. KPI will 
consist of a mix of financial, customer, talent and employees and businesses 
unit objectives.

1 July to 30 June.

On or before 30 September each year.

STI deferral will apply to the CEO, designated executive KMP and selected 
others in FY19 grants vest in August 2020. In subsequent years the deferral 
period will be at least one (1) year after vesting and be contingent on future 
service only. Deferred STI will be awarded as RSU, performance rights or 
similar. The Board will determine the % of any STI to be awarded as equity.

The number of equity units (RSU, performance rights or similar) will be 
determined as at 1 July in the year of the performance period based on the 
5 day VWAP applicable on that date. (Note: in the Financial Statements 
released to ASX on 16 August 2018, this was incorrectly reported as “1 July 
in the year after the completion of the performance period”.)

Any STI deferral provided will be forfeited if the participant leaves before  
the vesting date. The Board has the discretion to waive this restriction,  
in exceptional circumstances.

STI to executive KMP will be subject to a Clawback and Malus policy that  
may apply from time to time.

Before 30 June each year.

Date of  
Offer – Equity

On or before 30 September once the STI $ value has been determined  
and the number of equity units for STI deferral is calculated.

The following table sets out the revised criteria for LTI awards as recommended by the Independent 
Remuneration Consultants, reviewed by the Nominations and Remuneration Committee and 
adopted by the Board. The Board has determined that executives will be motivated by the granting 
of premium priced share options (15% above 5 day VWAP at the time of option pricing) with  
a hurdle rate to be achieved of a minimum compounding annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%  
in Total Shareholder Return (TSR). If that hurdle is met at the relevant vesting date, 50% of those 
options become exercisable. The proportion of options vesting increases to 100% if a 17.5% TSR 
CAGR is achieved, with a pro rata entitlement between 12.5% and 17.5% TSR CAGR. Directors are 
of the view that this simple and transparent formula for awarding premium priced options provides 
strong incentive for executives and only rewards them when all shareholders have benefited from  
a meaningful CAGR in total shareholder return.

ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION 

Catapult Group International Ltd operations are not subject to any particular or significant 
environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory in Australia.

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 38 of this financial report and forms part  
of this Directors’ Report.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave  
to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which  
the Company is a party, to taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of  
those proceedings.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

and desirable competencies of new Board members, the range of and depth of skills and  
the diversity of the Board, and making appropriate checks regarding an individual being

committee of the board to set measurable objectives for achieving gender 
diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress

executive positions and across the whole organisation (including how the 
entity has defined “senior executive” for these purposes); or

Act, the entity’s most recent “Gender Equality Indicators”, as defined in 
and published under that Act.

Comply 
(Yes/No)

Yes 

Yes

Yes

Yes

Recommendation/Action

The Company has adopted a Diversity Policy which identifies gender diversity as a key area of 
focus for the Company. Gender diversity is integral to the Company’s overall diversity strategy. 
Increasing the representation of women is one of the Company’s ongoing priorities. Diversity 
related measurable objectives for the Company and its controlled entities will be reviewed on 
an annual basis. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible, on an annual 
basis, for developing a long-term plan to address diversity initiatives and measures.

A copy of the Diversity Policy is available on the Company’s website at the following URL:

http://www.catapultsports.com/investor/corporate-governance

The Company has adopted the following measurable objectives regarding recruitment and 
remuneration practices:

(a)  to require the CEO and direct reports to provide a pool of diverse candidates from which 

to consider for all new roles, and for any replacement/vacant roles;

(b)  to have a remuneration practice that does not discriminate based on gender; and

(c)  to grow the number of female employees within Catapult,

(together, the Measurable Objectives).

The Company is able to report that its remuneration practice does not discriminate based  
on gender. For example we are able to report that the FY18 annual salary review process was 
merit based and resulted in equivalent average increases across female and male employees. 
The Company has however not made material improvements in the gender representation 
within each band within the Company, in particular at Board and executive levels. The 
Company continues to experience an under-representation of women amongst candidates 
for advertised roles, especially in technical and information technology roles. Included in 
these proposals, is the requirement to ensure that a female employee is included on the 
interview panel for senior level roles moving forward.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Catapult Group International Ltd and its controlled entities (the ‘Group’) principal activities are  
the development and supply of wearable tracking devices, software and video analytics solutions 
for athletes and sports teams. 

2.  GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated general purpose financial statements of the Group have been prepared  
in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting 
Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards  
Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards results in full compliance with the 
International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting 
Standards Board (IASB). Catapult Group International Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose  
of preparing the financial statements.

Catapult Group International Ltd is the Group’s Ultimate Parent Company. Catapult Group 
International Ltd is a Public Company incorporated and domiciled in Australia and listed on the 
Australian Stock Exchange. The address of its registered office and its principal place of business  
is 75-83 High Street, Prahran, Victoria, Australia.

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 were approved and 
authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 16 August 2018.

3.  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Effective this financial period the amendment below takes effect 1st July 2017:

Several new and revised standards became effective for the first time to annual periods beginning 
on or after 1 July 2017. 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 2018 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57

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 distributor 
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 anticipated  
to result in a deferral of $300,000 of costs in FY19.

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 

•  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 $7,037,067 and 
$5,401,277 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

•  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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

3.  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.2  Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective and have not been adopted  
early by the Group (continued)

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 2018. 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.

Catapult  Group International Limited59

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 acquiree, 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. 

Annual  Report  201860

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

4.5  Revenue (continued)

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.

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. 

(v)  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. 

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).

Catapult  Group International Limited61

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

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.

Annual  Report  201862

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

4.9  Other intangible assets (continued)

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

•  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 (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

•  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.

Catapult  Group International Limited63

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.

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

4.13  Financial instruments (continued) 

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. 

Catapult  Group International Limited65

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)

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

Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits.

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

4.17  Equity, reserves and dividend payments (continued)

Other components of equity include the following: (continued)

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.

Catapult  Group International Limited67

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.

•  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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

4.22  Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies (continued)

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 $17,360,108 and had net cash inflow from 
operating activities of $6,419,144.

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; and

•  The business has put in place appropriate staffing globally to execute the growth strategy 

outlined in the March 2018 capital raising.

7.  SEGMENT REPORTING

For the year ended 30 June 2018

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 three main  
operating segments are:

•  Wearables: design, development and supply of wearable technology and analytic software  

to athletes and sports teams.

•  Video Analytics: develops and provides innovative digital and video analytic software solutions  

to elite sports teams. 

•  New Products: development of the prosumer product and entry into the prosumer market

These operating segments are monitored and strategic decisions are made on the basis of adjusted 
segment operating results. In the 12 months to June 2018, the Group identified New Products  
as a separate segment of its business and as such has restated the 2017 comparatives to reflect 
this categorisation. 

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 the 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.

the carrying amount of some of the CGUs to exceed the recoverable amount. The following table 
shows the amount by which the assumptions would need to change individually for the estimated 
recoverable amount to be equal to the carrying amount.

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.

•  Continued investment in core product development to underpin revenue growth particularly  

in video and tactical products.

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.

components of other comprehensive income.

The Group has accumulated tax losses across multiple jurisdictions of $84,885,000 (FY17 71,345,000). 
The amount of tax losses and other tax credits recognised in the statement of financial position  
is $27,154,000 (FY17 $ 26,336,000).

The deferred gain relates to the lease incentives associated with the Aurora Lane, Chicago and 
Prahran premises commencing March 2014, May 2016 and August 2017 respectively. The excess  
of proceeds received over fair value was deferred and is being amortised over the lease term  
of each lease. In 2018, deferred gain of $68,064 (2017: $157,961) 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 2018 and the end of 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 $25,657,022 of deferred revenue during FY 2019, with the balance 
falling into FY 2019 and 2020.

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 (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.

Annual  Report  201886

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

20.  EMPLOYEE REMUNERATION (CONTINUED)

20.2  Share-base employee remuneration (continued)

Vesting conditions (continued)

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 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 1,675,000 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.

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 2,490,898 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.

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.

Catapult  Group International Limited87

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 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.

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 2016 or 2017). 8,879,091 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

Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas 
transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Group’s 
exposure to currency risk.

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

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

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.

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. The Group’s US subsidiary, XOS Technologies Inc, entered into a secured  
loan facility with Western Alliance Bank in April 2017. The total facility is for up to AUD 8.1 million.  
At 30 June 2018 the available amount was AUD 7.1 million. Of this amount, AUD 3.4 million was 
drawn down at 30 June 2018. (Note – the loan facility is denominated in USD. The AUD:USD 
exchange rate applied to reported amounts in AUD is 0.739).

As at 30 June 2018, the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities 
(including interest payments where applicable) as summarised below:

The valuation technique used for measuring the fair value of Intangible assets was the multi-period 
excess earnings method considering the present value of net cash flows expected to be generated, 
excluding any cash flows related to contibutory assets with cross check to replacement cost.

Acquisition-related costs

Acquisition related costs amounting to $386k are not included as part of consideration transferred 
and have been recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, as part of ‘other expenses’.

Fair values measured on a provisional basis

The following amounts have been measured on a provisional basis.

The Group has agreed to pay the selling shareholders contingent consideration up to $2 million 
based on future revenue earned over a period of 24 months from acquisition. The Group has 
included $438K in contingent consideration reflecting the present value of the best estimate of  
the deferred consideration that will be paid based on forecast earnings. The Group will continue to 
measure the revenue earn-out over the post acquisition period and revise the provisional estimate 
for acquisition accounting.

DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION (CONT.)

Key audit matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial 
report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Revenue recognition of long-term contracts which 
contain separately identifiable components of a single 
transaction – Notes 4.5 & 8 

There is significant judgment relating to revenue recognition 
for long term contracts which contain hardware and 
Software as a Service (“SaaS”) as separately identifiable 
components of a single transaction. 

Revenue recognition for separately identifiable components 
of a single transaction can be complex and involves 
management judgement. These judgements include: 

• 

identification of each separately identifiable component 
in the arrangements; 

•  determination of the appropriate allocation of the 
amount of revenue to each separately identifiable 
component in particular as many of the Group’s 
arrangements involve the delivery of hardware, software 
licences and other services; and 

•  determining when the performance obligation of each 
separately identifiable component is satisfied and 
associated revenue can be recognised. 

This area is a key audit matter due to the complexity 
surrounding the long-term contract revenue recognition. 

Our procedures included, amongst others:  

•  documenting our understanding of the various SaaS 
arrangements used by the Group and evaluating 
management’s revenue recognition of the separately 
identifiable components they contained, including the 
determination of revenue allocation to each component, to 
assess compliance with accounting standard AASB 118: 
Revenue; 

• 

testing a sample of revenue transactions recognised to 
contracts with customers to assess whether revenue is 
being recognised in accordance with the Group’s revenue 
recognition policies; 

•  assessing sales selected in our sample referenced above, 

where applicable, for the accuracy of revenue to be 
deferred at year end; 

•  performing predictive analytical procedures on deferred 
revenue balances at reporting period end for exceptions 
and anomalies against expectations;  

•  substantiating a sample of revenue transactions around 
reporting date and agreeing transactions to supporting 
documents to assess whether revenue is recognised in the 
correct periods;  

•  considering whether management’s assessment of the 
impact on adopting AASB 15, Revenues from Contracts 
with Customers appears reasonable; and 

•  assessing the adequacy of disclosures for compliance with 

the revenue recognition requirements of Australian 
Accounting Standards (AASBs).

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets – 
Notes 4.8-4.9 and 14-15 

Given the nature of the industry in which the Group 
operates, there is a risk that there could be a material 
impairment to goodwill and intangible asset balances. 

Determination as to whether an impairment exists relating to 
an asset or Cash Generating Unit (CGU) involves significant 
judgment about the future cash flows and plans for these 
assets and CGUs.  

• 

These judgements include: 

• 

identifying the existence of impairment indicators; 

•  determining the appropriate CGUs; 

• 

forecasting future cash flows; and 

•  determining the relevant assumptions such as discount 

and growth rates. 

This area was determined to be a key audit matter due to 
the abovementioned judgments involved in preparing a 
value-in-use model for determining recoverable amount in 
management’s impairment assessments. 

Our procedures included, amongst others:  

•  assessing management’s identification of each of the 

Group’s CGUs based on our understanding of the nature 
of the Group’s business and cash flows;  

involving our valuation specialists to assess the 
impairment models and evaluate the reasonableness of 
key assumptions including the discount rate, terminal 
growth rates and forecast growth assumptions;  

•  assessing the reasonableness of the approved cash flow 
projections used in the impairment models as well as the 
Group’s historical ability to forecast accurately; 

•  challenging management’s assumptions and estimates 
used to determine the recoverable value of its CGUs, 
including those relating to forecast revenue, costs, and 
discount rates, and where available, corroborating the key 
market-related assumptions to external data; and 

•  assessing the adequacy of disclosures for compliance in 
accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards 
(AASBs).

DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION (CONT.)

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Business combinations – acquisition of SportsMed 
Elite and Baseline athlete management software (AMS) 
– Note 37 

In August 2017 the Group acquired the SportsMed Elite and 
Baseline Asset Management Software (AMS) from SMG 
Technologies Pty Ltd for a consideration of $2.275 million in 
accordance with accounting standard AASB 3, Business 
Combinations. 

The accounting for business combinations requires 
significant judgement and estimates to be made in relation 
to: 

•  The fair value of the purchase consideration, including 

any contingent consideration; 

•  The fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, 

including separately identifiable intangible assets; and 

•  Evaluating the fair value of assets and liabilities 

acquired during the provisional accounting period. 

This has been deemed a key audit matter given the 
judgment involved in determining the fair value of assets 
and liabilities acquired. 

Our procedures included, amongst others:  

• 

reading the underlying sale and purchase agreements to 
obtain an understanding of key terms and conditions of the 
transaction; 

•  assessing the qualifications and experience of the 

independent expert engaged by management and their 
suitability to perform the valuation engagement; 

•  engaging our internal valuation specialists to review the 

work contained in the purchase price allocation valuation 
report to determine whether: 

- 

- 

- 

the appropriate intangible assets had been identified; 

the appropriate valuation methodologies had been 
used; and 

assumptions used were reasonable compared with 
external benchmarks and our knowledge of the 
Group and its industry; 

• 

testing the mathematical accuracy of the underlying 
calculations; 

•  evaluating the forecasts provided by management which 
the valuations were based on by assessing forecast 
revenues, operating costs and capital expenditure based 
on our knowledge of the group and market sector trends;  

•  evaluating the reasonableness of any adjustments made 
to the provisional amounts implied in the purchase price 
allocation of assets acquired as defined in AASB 3; and 

•  assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures with 

respect to the business acquisitions against the 
requirements of AASB 3. 

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 2018, 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.  

Catapult  Group International Limited

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.  

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.
