CATAPULT GROUP INTERNATIONAL LTD

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

“

Catapult’s purpose is to improve the 
performance of athletes and teams.

We continue to make great progress 
serving this purpose. In 2019 Catapult 
delivered its first positive EBITDA result 
and extended its global leadership.

Dear Shareholders, 

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 2019 (FY19).

Catapult’s global scale and emerging operating 
leverage became more evident during FY19.  
The Company added a record 1,100 new teams 
as customers and delivered its first positive 
EBITDA result. 

Catapult is beginning to experience the scalability 
typical of a successful subscription software 
business, with expense growth falling whilst 
revenue growth accelerates. The gap between 
revenue and expense growth is now widening  
as we pass this scalability inflection point. 

We delivered our maiden positive EBITDA result 
in a year that also included material investment 
in R&D and the launch of several new and 
innovative products. Our FY19 achievements 
included the launch of the new elite wearable 
platform, Catapult Vector, as well as significant 
developments in Catapult Vision, our AMS 
product and our consumer product PLAYR. 

Vector provides a new standard for accuracy, 
usability and efficiency to empower critical 
decisions around performance, risk and return-
to-play. The company is pleased with Vector’s 
initial take up by customers and is committed  
to remaining the industry’s global leader  
in technology and product innovation. 

Global leadership and reputation 

Catapult is the global leader in the elite sports 
performance technology industry. We are 
working with more than 2,970 teams in  
137 countries across 39 sports. 

Leveraging our global scale we delivered 
significant revenue growth across all regions. 

The Americas region continues to be Catapult’s 
largest market and the Company recently 
passed 1,000 teams in North America, including 
11 of Catapult’s top 15 clients by revenue. 
Pleasingly, the Americas continued to deliver 
strong revenue growth, with revenue rising  
19% to $65 million. This region accounts for 69% 
of Catapult’s revenue and continues to represent 
a key market opportunity with a very large 
unaddressed market. 

Elsewhere, the EMEA region was a standout for 
growth with revenue growing 44% to $20 million. 
The promising Asia-Pacific (APAC) region grew 
revenue by 40% and the more mature Australia 
region still reported revenue growth of 20%. 

Catapult’s Elite wearables revenue grew by 
33% to $45.3 million with an all-time record 
volume of units sold. Unit ARPU was stable and 
subscription churn fell further. 

Catapult’s elite video revenue grew 14% to  
$44.8 million, with 544 teams now using 
Catapult’s video products. Demand continues  
to be strong, and in line with the Company’s 
growth strategy this product suite delivers high 
gross margin subscription revenue. 

Whilst the video business unit has traditionally 
focused on North American clients, this division  
is beginning to develop a global footprint.  
FY19 was an important year for this global 
expansion following the launch of Catapult 
Vision, Catapult’s newest video solution that 
delivers high margin subscription revenue and 
addresses a wider range of international sports. 
There has been positive early adoption of Vision 
across all regions. 

The prosumer category grew 54% to $5.3 million, 
driven by the PLAYR consumer product. 
Consistent with Catapult’s communicated 
strategy, the prosumer division is right-sized 
to focus on controlling expenditure and cash 

ANNUAL REPORT 2019

flow, while capturing the large potential market 
opportunity across the sub-elite and consumer 
segments in a measured way. Regular updates  
to the PLAYR offering have enhanced the  
high engagement delivered to its growing 
customer base.

2019 Financial highlights 

Highlights from the 2019 financial results include;

 › First positive EBITDA of $4.1 million, an 

improvement of $6 million

 › Annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth  

of 24% to $66.1 million

 › Group revenue growth of 24% to $95.4 million

 › Operating expense growth reduced to  
9%, down from 14% (pro-forma basis) 

 › Net loss after tax of $12.3 million, an 

improvement of 29%

 › $21.5 million cash at bank (at 16 August 2019); 

up from $11.7 million at 30 June 2019 

 › Lower Elite Wearable subscription unit churn 

of 5.2%, down from 8.4%

 › Client growth of over 1,100 new teams taking 

the total to 2,970 teams

Employing more than 340 people in a global 
workforce Catapult continues to have its  
major offices in the large sporting capitals  
of Melbourne, Boston, and Leeds. We invested 
in our sales and marketing capability over the 
last two years and expect to leverage the future 
growth opportunities in the elite market. 

Outlook

The Board expects continued strong revenue 
growth, and the emerging scalability will further 
reduce operating expense growth.

There are three key drivers supporting continued 
revenue and profit growth: greenfield sales 
to new teams, up-selling additional capacity 
to existing clients, and cross-selling additional 
products to the more than 2,800 existing clients 
that still use only one Catapult product.

Executing these growth opportunities will 
progress Catapult’s transition to positive free 
cash flow. I reiterate the company’s commitment 
to positive free cash flow by FY21. We are 
focused on bringing forward this positive free 
cash flow target. 

Your Company is at an exciting time in its history. 
To maximise this opportunity the Board remains 
focused on successfully completing the global 
search to appoint a new CEO, and appointing a 
CFO, whilst maintaining Catapult’s consistently 
strong financial growth to deliver long-term 
value to shareholders. 

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

Regards

Catapult has the characteristics of a subscription 
software business with significant recurring 
revenue, high growth, strong margins, and  
low churn. 

Dr Adir Shiffman 
Executive Chairman

Catapult’s global scale and emerging operating leverage became more evident during FY19.  
The Company adding a record 1,100 new teams as customers and delivering its first positive  
EBITDA result.

Our first positive EBITDA result was driven by recurring revenue and new business growth.  
Annualised recurring revenue (ARR) grew by 24% and EBITDA improved by $6 million to $4.1 million.

We are pleased with the scalability evident in the result. Incremental revenue in FY19 produced 
a higher EBITDA contribution or yield relative to the FY18 results. This higher EBITDA yield is an 
outcome of continuing strong revenue growth and a declining rate of growth for operating  
expenses as the business matures. The graphs following illustrate these dynamics.

We continue to deliver high rates of revenue growth and remain committed to innovation and 
product development.

We believe this commitment enhances our ability to deliver future profitable growth. In FY19 we 
invested $14.9 million in capital projects including $10.7 million in product development and research 
and development. 

This investment in product development also ensures we continue to provide unique world class 
solutions across the performance technology stack – encompassing wearable technology, video 
analysis and athlete management systems (AMS). 

Our FY19 achievements included the launch of the new elite wearable platform, Catapult Vector,  
as well as significant developments in Catapult Vision, our AMS product and our consumer  
product PLAYR. 

We see the potential to achieve growth in three key areas:

1.  Greenfield opportunities with teams that are yet to adopt performance technology;

2.  Up-sell within existing teams; and 

3.  Cross-sell opportunities across the technology stack. 

There are now more than 2,970 teams in 137 countries across 39 sports who are customers of Catapult. 
The growth and scale of our customer base reinforces our global leadership position in the sports 
technology industry.

Catapult’s Elite wearables revenue grew by 33% to $45.3 million with an all-time record volume  
of units sold. Unit ARPU was stable and subscription churn fell further. 

Catapult’s elite video revenue grew 14% to $44.8 million, with 544 teams now using Catapult’s video 
products. Demand continues to be strong, and in line with the Company’s growth strategy this 
product suite delivers high gross margin subscription revenue. 

The prosumer category grew by 54% to $5.3 million, driven by the PLAYR consumer product.  
Total prosumer units sold grew by 47% to 20.5k units. 

Consistent with Catapult’s communicated strategy in February 2019, the prosumer division has 
been re-sized and is focused on controlling expenditure and cash flow and also capturing the large 
potential market opportunity across the sub-elite and consumer segments in a more measured way. 

Catapult is in a strong financial position as the business transitions to generating positive free cash 
flow. Pleasingly, and as seasonally expected, cash receipts are strong in the early part of FY20 and 
the cash balance as at 16 August 2019 was $21.5 million. 

As at 30 June 2019 cash at bank was $11.8 million. The reduction in cash during FY19 was impacted by 
two material non-recurring items with the Company becoming debt free having repaid a $3.3 million 
loan in the first half of FY19 and investing $7 million in the consumer business. In addition there was a 
one-off incremental investment in labour ($5 million) to drive growth in elite sales and product revenue.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

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.

AnnuAl RepoRt 2019

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.

18

CAtApult GRoup InteRnAtIonAl  ltD

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

BUSINESS RISK (continued)

Development and commercialisation of intellectual property (continued)

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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

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 2019 Remuneration Report for the year to 30 June 2019 is set out below.  
the report reflects the revised remuneration policy which we introduced and outlined  
in last year’s Remuneration Report.

It should be highlighted that the nominations and Remuneration Committee has been actively 
involved in leading the recruitment process of a new Ceo, CFo and a new independent director. 
We have been well served in the interim by our executive directors engaging more deeply in  
the business, most notably Jim orlando who is capably serving all shareholders as our Interim 
CFo. As previously communicated, executive Directors Adir Shiffman and Shaun Holthouse  
also increased their time commitment to the business during the past six months as required.

the Committee has also been greatly assisted by improvements made by the human resources 
team during the year improving staff remuneration structures, implementing detailed salary 
banding, more granular performance assessment to aid talent management and initiatives  
to promote improved gender diversity across the business.

As discussed in last year’s Annual Report and more recently in our announcement to the ASX  
on 31 May 2019, we remain committed to review the composition of the Board in the medium 
term. to that end Mr Igor van de Griendt has already transitioned to a non-executive director  
role from July 2019, following the appointment of Rick Wingfield as Cto. Shaun Holthouse  
will also transition to a non-executive director role following the appointment of a new Ceo  
in due course. Board composition will also be enhanced with the intended appointment of  
a new independent director prior to the end of this calendar year. 

our drive to deliver greater alignment with shareholders through our remuneration policy  
is outlined in this Remuneration Report. this alignment was further underlined by the senior 
executive team agreeing to take short term incentives, previously agreed to be paid in cash,  
in the form of performance rights. We have an aligned team of motivated executives, staff  
and directors, both executive and non-executive and our focus is on sustainably building this  
high growth, global business. 

Yours Sincerely

Brent Scrimshaw 
Independent non-executive Director  
Chairman of the nominations and Remuneration Committee

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

OVERVIEW

the Board’s nomination and Remuneration Committee, which operates in accordance with its  
charter as approved by the Board, is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation 
arrangements for the Directors’ and the executive team.

As outlined in the 2018 Annual Report, the revised remuneration policy adopted by Catapult 
emphasises the Board’s desire to align 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;

•  Benchmarking of executive remuneration performed by independent remuneration consultant 

to ensure market competitiveness;

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

alignment, motivate retention and preserve cash;

• 

incentives focused on key metrics of revenue and eBItDA as Catapult continues to drive  
for global dominance in its market;

•  Ceo remuneration reviewed to include a market competitive mix of remuneration consisting 
of fixed and ‘at risk’ components. the ‘at risk’ components 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 mix of remuneration is as follows:

the criteria for earning short and long-term incentives are reviewed by the nomination and 
Remuneration Committee annually, consistent with the remuneration policy and as part of  
the review of executive remuneration. the Committee’s recommendation is put to the full  
Board for approval. 

Catapult’s revised remuneration strategy relating specifically to Key Management personnel  
can be further illustrated as set out in the following diagram.

various international markets in which it operates.

SHORT TERM INCENTIVE (STI)

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.

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 FY19 is a cash and equity-based reward for the executive team and cash 
reward for other employees consistent with the remuneration policy.

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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

LONG TERM INCENTIVE (LTI)

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.

LTI Terms FY19

Applicable from 1 July 2018 

Participants

Date of Pricing

Number

the number of options will be determined by dividing the ltI $ value (in 
accordance with the remuneration strategy) by the option value determined 
using the ‘Contract life’ value of the option at the date of pricing of the option.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

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 25 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 34 of this financial report and forms part of this Directors’ Report.

of those proceedings.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2019

NOTE 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, athlete monitoring system  
and software and video analytics solutions for athletes and sports teams.

NOTE 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 2019 were approved and 
authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 22 August 2019.

NOTE 3.  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1  New standards adopted as at 1 July 2018

Several new and revised standards became effective for the first time to annual periods beginning 
on or after 1 July 2018. only those that are significant to the Group have been included.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 15 replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and several  
revenue-related interpretations. the new Standard has been applied as at 1 July 2018  
using the modified retrospective approach. under this method, the cumulative effect  
of initial application is recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained  
earnings at 1 July 2018 and comparatives are not restated. In accordance with the transition 
guidance, AASB 15 has only been applied to contracts that are incomplete as at 1 July 2018.

the adoption of AASB 15 has mainly affected the following areas:

(1)  training revenue element in contracts

(2)  Consumer revenue deferral

(3)  Dealer commissions on subscription deals

(4)  Warranties.

(1)  Training revenue element in contracts

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. 

A number of 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. 

AnnuAl RepoRt 2019

41

(2)  Consumer revenue deferral

A review of the functionality of the Consumer ‘plAYR’ product has outlined a software 
component that should be considered as a separate performance obligation alongside the 
hardware component of the device. Management have valued the transaction price for this 
software component at 10% of the contract value, consistent with industry comparatives and 
standards, and have determined the software period to be 24 months. this revenue, which has 
historically been recognised upfront when the service has been incurred, will now be amortised 
over the software period. the impact of this change in FY18 and FY19 is not considered material. 

(3)  Dealer commissions on subscription deals

A review of costs incurred in acquiring an elite Wearable contract indicates that the dealer 
commissions on total contract value, which are incremental to obtaining the contract with  
the customer, and Catapult expects to recover from cash flows generated by the contract, will 
require a change in accounting treatment under AASB 15. these costs, which have historically 
been expensed immediately when incurred, will now be amortised over the life of the contract. 
this change has resulted in a net expense reduction of $400,000 (rounded to the nearest $’000)  
in FY19.

When adopting AASB 15, the Group elected not to restate prior periods. Rather, the Group has  
adopted the modified retrospective restatement approach and differences arising from the 
adoption of AASB 15 in relation to classification, measurement, and impairment are recognised  
in opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2018. 

the total adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings arising from the initial 
application of AASB 15 to dealer commissions costs is a deferral of $420,000 (rounded to the 
nearest $’000), with an increase in the tax expense relating to this cost reduction of $126,000 
(rounded to the nearest $’000). the net impact of these adjustments is a $294,000 (rounded  
to the nearest $’000) improvement to retained earnings (see table below).

Current year impact

During the normal course of business, the Group incurs a number of incremental costs, such as 
commissions paid to dealers. the Group recognises such incremental costs initially as contract 
assets. this asset is then amortised on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer to the 
customer the good or service to which the asset relates. Where the amortisation period of these  
costs, if capitalised, would be less than one year, the Group makes use of the practical expedient 
in AASB 15.94 and expenses them as they incur.

the tables below highlight the impact of AASB 15 on the Group’s consolidated statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of financial position for the year 
ending 30 June 2019. the adoption of AASB 15 did not have a material impact on the Group’s 
statement of cash flows.

AASB 15 requires that service contracts are ‘un-bundled’ and each performance obligation 
identified. the Group has considered the impact of warranty costs in its contracts, based  
on historical trends and analysis of existing contracts with customers, and has determined  
that the adjustment to the financial statements is not material. the Group will continue  
to review and monitor this with future contracts.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition  
and Measurement requirements. It makes major changes to the previous guidance on the  
classification and measurement of financial assets and introduces an ‘expected credit  
loss’ model for impairment of financial assets. 

When adopting AASB 9, the Group elected not to restate prior periods. Rather, differences 
arising from the adoption of AASB 9 in relation to classification, measurement, and impairment  
are recognized in opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2018. 

The adoption of AASB 9 has mostly impacted the following areas relating to the Group:

the impairment of financial assets applying the expected credit loss model. this applies to the 
Group’s trade receivables and investments in debt-type assets previously classified as HtM or 
AFS (unless classified as fair value through profit or loss). For contract assets arising from AASB  
15 and trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified model of recognizing lifetime expected 
credit losses as these items do not have a significant financing component. 

the recognition of gains and losses arising from the Group’s own credit risk. the Group continues 
to elect the fair value option for certain financial liabilities which means that fair value movements 
from changes in the Group’s own credit risk are now presented in other comprehensive income 
rather than profit or loss.

the Group has reviewed the requirements of AASB 9 and noted that the adoption of AASB 9  
relating to the change in accounting policy at the interim stage did not give rise to a need  
to restate prior financial results.

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 2019 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 16 Leases

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 recognized 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 
recognized in the financial statements, in particular: 

• 

lease assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheet will increase by $6,595,089 and 
$5,263,233 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.

3.3  Revision of Employee Benefits Expense

As outlined in Catapult’s 2018 Remuneration Report the nominations and Remuneration 
Committee has reviewed and revised Catapult’s remuneration policies effective FY19.  
As part of these changes the Ceo and a number of executives will have total At Risk (tAR) 
remuneration set with a combination of Fixed Annual Remuneration and at risk Short and  
long term Incentives. Short term Incentives (StI) may be awarded in cash and part in equity 
(with deferral) whilst long term Incentives (ltI) will be award as equity. Given these amounts 
form part of agreed annual employee remuneration arrangements and for StI may be paid  
in part cash and equity the amount recognized in our financial statements is recognized within 
employee Benefits expense. the amount recognized within employee Benefits expense for the 
year ended 30 June 2019 representing estimated equity related grants is $340,000 (rounded  
to the nearest $’000) for StI and $200,000 (rounded to the nearest $’000) for ltI.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 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 2019. 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 with the exception of Kodaplay 
limited (based in Ireland), which has a reporting date of 31 March. 

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 is recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, 
as applicable. 

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

4.3  Business combination 

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

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

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated  
as the excess of the sum of (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognised amount  
of any non-controlling interest in the 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. 

AnnuAl RepoRt 2019

45

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 re-translated 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, and control of the goods. the timing of the transfer of risks and 
rewards/control varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement. For sales of 
wearable units the transfer usually occurs on dispatch of the goods from Catapult’s premises. 
For sales of hardware in the video analytics business the transfer usually occurs on dispatch  
of the goods from Catapult’s premises. 

Subscription and Services

(i)  Wearables Subscription sale 

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

4.5  Revenue (continued)

Subscription and Services (continued)

(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).

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 13.1 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). 

AnnuAl RepoRt 2019

47

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 IP

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.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

4.9  Other intangible assets (continued)

Subsequent measurement (continued)

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 which 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.

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. 

AnnuAl RepoRt 2019

49

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 de-recognised 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 de-recognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled  
or expires.

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: 

•  Amortised cost; 

•  Financial assets at Fair Value through profit or loss (‘FVtpl’); and

•  Financial assets reported through other Comprehensive Income (‘FVoCI’).

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. 

Amortised cost 

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.

4.13  Financial instruments (continued)

Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Assets (continued)

Amortised cost (continued)

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. 

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. 

AnnuAl RepoRt 2019

51

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.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 recognized 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 recognized in the current period. no adjustment is made to any 
expense recognized 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.

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 they 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.

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).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

4.22  Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies (continued)

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.

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 $12,580,990 and had net cash outflows from 
operating activities of $2,196,652.

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 secure sale arrangements with many leading 
sporting organisations across the world for which revenue and cash inflows will be  
recognised in future periods;

•  the business implemented a plan, in line with the Board approved strategy, to drive greater 
operating leverage and therefore significantly improved cash performance in FY20 through  
a number of key actions including re-sizing the consumer division and addressing operating 
cost efficiencies;

• 

In line with the above point, the FY20 management incentive program is heavily weighted  
to the goal of accelerating the achievement of positive cashflow generation;

•  the business has substantially delivered on its new product investment program launched  

in FY19 which will deliver growth in the future and as such further increases in cash investment  
in FY20 will not be required; and

•  the acquisition of XoS brought a mature, cash generating entity into the Group, enabling  

the consolidated operation to finance its day to day operations more effectively.

For the purpose of annual impairment testing goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating  
units which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combinations in which  
goodwill arises.

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.

Management have identified that a reasonably possible change in the discount rate could cause 
the carrying amount of some of the CGus to exceed the recoverable amount. the following table 
shows the amount by which the discount rate would need to change 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.

•  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.

13.3  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.

to these components of other comprehensive income. 

the Group has accumulated tax losses across multiple jurisdictions of $95,431,000 (rounded  
to the nearest $‘000) (FY18 84,885,000). the amount of tax losses and other tax credits 
recognised in the statement of financial position is $31,930,000 (rounded to the nearest $’000)  
(FY18 27,154,000).

the deferred gain relates to the lease incentives associated with the Chicago and prahran 
premises commencing 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 2019, 
deferred gain of $73,000 (rounded to the nearest $’000) (2018: $68,000) 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 2019 
and the end of each lease term.

All amounts recognised relating to contract liabilities 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 $29,633,977 of contract liabilities during FY2020,  
with the balance falling into FY2020 and FY2021.

19.2  Share-base employee remuneration

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

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

Eligibility

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

AnnuAl RepoRt 2019

71

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.

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 are 
more fully described in the Remuneration Report contained in the Director’s Report above.

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 2,350,253 Shares on behalf of participants and 
for the purposes of the employee plan.

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

options, performance Rights and other Awards will not be quoted on ASX. Catapult will  
apply for official quotation of any Shares allotted under the employee plan, unless the Board  
resolves otherwise.

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

Grants of options, performance Rights or other Awards under the employee plan to a Director may 
be subject to the approval of Shareholders, to the extent required under the ASX listing Rules.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 19.  CURRENT LIABILITIES – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued)

19.2  Share-base employee remuneration (continued)

Terms and conditions (continued)

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 24.  INCOME TAX EXPENSE (continued)

Accounting policy for income tax

the income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable 
income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes  
in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses  
and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates 
expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those  
tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

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

•  When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates 
or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled, and it is probable that the 
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses  
only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary 
differences and losses.

the carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each 
reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer 
probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. 
previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that  
there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to 
offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred  
tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity  
or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

NOTE 26.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

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). 8,714,371 options and performance 
rights have not been included in calculating diluted epS because their effect is anti-dilutive.

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

the Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. the Group’s financial 
assets and liabilities by category are summarised in note 18.1. the main types of risks are market  
risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

the Group’s risk management is coordinated in close cooperation with the Board of Directors,

the exposure to financial markets the Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial 
assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. the most significant financial risks  
to which the Group is exposed are described below. 

30.2  Market risk analysis

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

Foreign Currency Sensitivity

exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Group’s overseas sales and purchases, 
which are primarily denominated in uS dollars (uSD), pound Sterling (GBp), euro (euR), 
Japanese Yen (JpY).

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

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.

30.4  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 
due date but are not considered to be impaired. the amounts at 30 June, analysed by the length  
of time past due, are:

not more than (3) months

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

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

More than one (1) year

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

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

NOTE 30.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK (continued)

30.5  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, and AuD nil was drawn down at 30 June 2019.

As at 30 June 2019, the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities 
(including interest payments where applicable) as summarised below:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 36.  ACQUISITION OF ATHLETE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (AMS)

on 4 August 2017, Catapult acquired the SportsMed elite and Baseline Athlete Management 
System (AMS) products and clients and recruited key personnel, from SMG technologies pty ltd 
(SMG) for consideration ranging between $1.4 million and $3.9 million depending on performance 
metrics and incremental revenue generated in the two years following the acquisition.

Fair value of consideration transferred:

Amount settled in cash

Contingent consideration

Amount settled in shares

Recognised amounts of Identifiable net assets

property, plant and equipment

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Total non-current assets

Deferred revenue

employee benefits

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 contributory 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. As at 30 June 2019 $24,691 has been paid out to SMG  
in respect of this deferred consideration.
