IMPORTANT NOTICE
This document, including the FY23 Review set out on
pages 10 to 16 (the FY23 Review), may contain
forward-looking statements, including plans and
objectives. Do not place undue reliance on them as
actual results may differ, and may do so materially.
They reflect Catapult’s views as at the time made, are
not guarantees of future performance and are subject
to uncertainties and risks, such as those described in
Catapult’s most recent financial report. Subject to
law, Catapult assumes no obligation to update,
review or revise any information in this document.
Catapult changed its financial year end from June 30
to March 31, with a nine-month transitionary FY21
consisting of an interim period ended December 31,
2020 and a final period ended March 31, 2021.
Catapult also changed its presentation currency from
A$ to US$, which commenced with reporting in
US$ for the six-month period ended December 31,
2020. Catapult also acquired SBG on July 1, 2021. The
FY23 Review sets out pro forma information solely for
the purpose of illustrating the effects of the
acquisitions (including SBG) and these changes on
certain historical financial results.
Financial information in the FY23 Review denoted as
“Pro forma including acquisitions” is pro forma and
does not form part of Catapult’s FY23 financial
results. The “Pro forma including acquisitions”
financial information is, as applicable, in respect of
either a 6-month period ended September 30, or a
12-month period ended March 31, on the basis that
the Company acquired all relevant acquired entities
on April 1, 2018. All pro forma financial information
has been compiled from management accounts.
Because of its hypothetical nature, the pro forma
information may not give a true picture of a relevant
comparison. Subject to law, Catapult assumes no
obligation to update, review or revise the pro forma
information.
The “Pro forma including acquisitions” financial
information has not been independently audited or
reviewed. Financial information denoted as, or in
columns headed, “Mar 21”, “Mar 22”, “Mar 23”, “Sep
20”, “Sep 21”, “Sep 22” is, for each respective month
and unless otherwise specified, point in time
information which is calculated as at the last day of
that month. Such point in time financial information,
except for the “Mar 21”, “Mar 22”, “Sep 21”, “Sep 22”,
and “Mar 23” balance sheets, has not been
independently audited or reviewed.
ACV is calculated using an average exchange rate to
US$ over a 1-month period ending on the effective
calculation date. ACV calculated on a “constant
currency” or “(CC)” basis is calculated using an
average exchange rate to US$ over a 1-month period
ending on March 31, 2022. A reference to ACV growth
and ACV (YoY) growth (including on a constant
currency basis) for a relevant year is, unless otherwise
specified, a reference to, respectively: (i) ACV
calculated as at September 30 or March 31 of that
year, or any other specified date; and (ii) the quotient
of (x) the ACV calculated as at the relevant date for
that year; divided by (y) the ACV calculated as at the
date which is 12-months earlier than the date in (x),
expressed as a percentage.
While Catapult’s results are reported under IFRS, this
document also includes non-IFRS information such as
the pro forma information referred to above, EBITDA,
underlying EBITDA, Gross Margin, Contribution
Margin, free cash flow, Annualized Contract Value
(ACV), ACV Churn, Lifetime Duration (LTD), and
Future Revenue Under Contract (FRUC). These
measures are provided to assist in understanding
Catapult’s financial performance. They have not been
independently audited or reviewed, and should not be
considered an indication of, or an alternative to, IFRS
measures. Financial information attributed to a
segment in the FY23 Full Year Financial Report may
be presented in a different classification, or split
between one or more classifications, in the FY23
Review.
The information in this document is for general
information purposes only, and does not purport to be
complete. It should be read in conjunction with
Catapult’s other market announcements. Readers
should make their own assessment and take
professional independent advice prior to taking any

CATAPULT GROUP INTERNATIONAL LTD
2023 ANNUAL REPORT
CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
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 March
31, 2023 (FY23).
FY23 was another impressive year for Catapult. The
Company delivered an excellent result, particularly in
the second half of the financial year. Our consistent
history of high ACV growth, strong gross margins and
recent cost reductions indicate that we are on the
path to becoming a profitable company.
The Board was delighted with our continued progress
in the following 3 key areas.
First, we are heading towards generating positive
Free Cash Flow in FY24. This confidence was built
because we were able to significantly reduce costs
while maintaining the high growth rate of our SaaS
business, as evidenced by its 22% strong growth in
SaaS revenue.
Despite the reduction of costs, we recorded a
significant increase in H2 sales and Annual Contract
Values (ACV) while maintaining low churn,
demonstrating world-class customer retention and
loyalty.
Second, due to our fixed cost base (G&A and R&D)
now being established to support the business at
scale, Catapult has entered a new phase of profitable
growth. As we exit our growth investment phase, we
anticipate that every additional $1 of revenue should
generate a profit margin of approximately 30% or
more. Positively, early signs of this new phase of
profitable growth were evidenced in the second half,
with US$15.4 million improvement in EBITDA.
Lastly, the Company's SaaS growth strategy of
‘landing with wearables’ and ‘expanding with video’ is
working as anticipated.
In FY23, our Performance & Health Vertical (P&H)
ACV increased by 28%. Our legacy video solution ACV
grew by 7% during the financial year, while our new
video solution grew by 27.5%.
D R . A D I R
S H I F F M A N
E X E C U T I V E
C H A I R M A N
We are thrilled to see how far our video platform has
progressed in preparation for the upcoming sales
seasons in the US and Europe, with promising
products available for football, ice hockey, soccer,
basketball, rugby, and motorsports.
In December 2022, the Company expanded its debt
facility with its existing debt provider, Western
Alliance Bank, for an upsized US$20M revolving
facility. The facility increased the Company’s cash
reserves on improved commercial terms from its
previous facility. The facility is consistent with
Catapult’s previous remarks that it is fully funded to
reach Free Cash Flow positivity in FY24 and does not
anticipate any additional equity funding.
Catapult’s major FY23 financial and operating
highlights included:
● H2 EBITDA of US$2.2M, a US$15.4M improvement
from H1
● H2 Gross margin rebounded to 81% from 71% in H1
● Costs to operate the business dropped US$11.9M
in H2 from H1
● Operating cashflow +40% YoY to US$3.7M
● SaaS Revenue +21.8% YoY (CC), contributing to a
total revenue of US$84.4M
● Record H2 sales; FY23 ACV +20.2% YoY to
US$76.8M (CC)
● ACV Churn at record low rates of 3.8%
● Performance & Health Vertical (P&H) ACV grew
28% YoY (CC)

CATAPULT GROUP INTERNATIONAL LTD
2023 ANNUAL REPORT
CEO’S LETTER
Dear Shareholders,
Catapult has positioned itself to deliver on our Rule of
40 focus. This financial year, the Company delivered
another excellent result, proving once again that
Catapult is the global leader in the sports
performance technology industry.
Catapult achieved great results during the second
half of FY23. We returned the business to be EBITDA
positive, an improvement of more than US$15M. We
were able to significantly reduce expenses by
US$11.9M and maintain growth, as ACV growth in our
largest vertical, Performance & Health (P&H)
expanded to 28% during the year. Our SaaS revenue
increased by 22% contributing to a total revenue of
US$84.4M. We also maintained a low churn rate of
3.8%, showing how valuable our solutions are to our
customers.
I am confident that our cost margins will continue to
improve as a result of our revised investment plans,
and the Company will return to Positive Free Cash
flow in FY24.
As I mentioned at the FY23 result, we have reached an
inflection point. Catapult is in a new phase of
profitable growth and by exiting our growth
investment phase, we anticipate that every additional
$1 of revenue should generate a profit margin of
approximately 30% or more. This is because our fixed
costs base has been established to support the
business at scale, with additional leverage available as
variable costs improve towards long-term margin
targets.
The Board and Management have committed to
focusing the Company’s core activities on high-
growth SaaS revenue streams. We are showing
accelerated results for our SaaS growth strategy of
landing with wearables and expanding with video
solutions. Annualized Contract Values for our new
video solutions are showing high growth rates similar
to our wearables. We are further excited to see the
progress made in our video platform for the coming
sales seasons in the US and Europe. We added several
features that will positively impact our customers’
workflows by saving them time while giving them new
insights. The early sales success in the EMEA and
APAC regions, where we don’t have a well-established
subscription base for video solutions, is very
encouraging for FY24.
W I L L L O P E S
C H I E F
E X E C U T I V E
O F F I C E R
Catapult's customer team base increased to more
than 3,800 in FY23, up around 400 teams in the year,
following the introduction of new solutions within the
financial year.
Product launches in FY23 included:
● A new wearable device, Vector T7, for indoor
sports
● A Smart American Football with wireless charging
● Wearable/Video integration for Basketball and Ice
Hockey
● New live features for athlete monitoring
● New Vest with integrated HR for female athletes
Despite growth in our customer base, our average
customer lifetime duration lengthened to over 6 years.
Cross-selling accelerated the number of customers
buying products from 2 or more verticals in Catapult’s
platform and now 9.5% of the Company’s customers
are multi-vertical customers.
The Company had notable new deals in FY23,
including expanded League Wide Deals (LWD) with
the NRL and NRLW, and the XFL, along with new
signings of iconic logos such as McLaren F1,
FC St. Pauli, and Princeton University. These exciting
new deals reflect the depth of organic growth
opportunities as well as the resilience of sport in a
recessionary period.
Catapult's focus remains integrating video and
wearable solutions, and we’re proud to have been the
first to bring that technology to teams around the
world.
During the year, the Company announced an
executive transition. Our former CFO, Hayden
Stockdale, stepped down from the role. He was a key
member of the executive leadership team since 2020
and was instrumental in transforming the business to
higher SaaS growth and maturity. Again, the Board
and I thank Hayden for his outstanding contributions
to the Company and wish him all the best in his future
endeavours.

The Company welcomed the appointment of our new
CFO, Bob Cruickshank, in April 2023. Bob has more
than 25 years’ experience at public and private
companies, high-growth start-ups, and mature-stage
U.S.-based technology companies. Prior to Catapult,
he served in executive roles at Astadia, ezCater,
Amazon Robotics (formerly Kiva Systems), and Aspen
Technology, after a successful public accounting
career at Arthur Andersen. He is currently based in
Boston having been CFO for Astadia Inc. since 2021.
Bob’s track record of leadership and operational
execution ideally positions him to further advance our
strategy at Catapult. His previous successes as a CFO
means he will be an invaluable addition to Catapult’s
leadership team.
Our primary goal is to deliver on our strategic
priorities with a focus on cash generation while
preserving growth opportunities in the medium/long
term. I am excited to see how the above
achievements, combined with the Company’s strong
balance sheet, will enable Catapult to continue to
benefit from the fast-growing sports technology
market.
Finally, thank you to the Board for their ongoing
support and advice. My overwhelming gratitude to all

forward to the year ahead with optimism.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
SAAS REVENUE CONTINUES TO OUTPACE OVERALL REVENUE GROWTH
Catapult’s SaaS revenue increased 21.8% to US$70.5M. Subscription revenue,
comprising SaaS revenue and recurring media revenue, is now 92% of Catapult’s total
revenue, highlighting the high quality of Catapult’s transformed business model.
Total revenue in FY23 was US$84.4M, up 10% or 14%. Revenue growth was attributed
to SaaS revenue growth, capital revenue down 20% (as the Company fully transitioned
to SaaS), and Media & Other revenue staying relatively flat.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
IMPROVED FINANCIAL POSITION AND PATH TO GENERATING CASH
In September 2022, Catapult announced a reprioritization of its accelerated
investment program.
In H2 FY23, variable costs improved by US$8.3M while fixed costs improved by
US$3.6M. These Performance & Health Vertical (P&H) savings, along with a record
half-year of sales, resulted in dramatic margin improvements. Contribution profit
improved by US$9.5M and contributed to a positive EBITDA result in H2 of US$2.2M.
FY23 EBITDA loss of US$11.0M was a 22.8% improvement on FY22.
In December 2022, the Company expanded its debt facility with its existing debt
provider, Western Alliance Bank, for an upsized US$20M (A$31M) revolving facility. The
facility increased the Company’s cash reserves on improved commercial terms from its
previous facility. The facility is consistent with Catapult’s previous remarks that it is
fully funded to reach Free Cash Flow positivity in FY24 and does not anticipate any
additional equity funding.

2023 ANNUAL REPORT
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
This operating and financial review (the ‘OFR’) is designed to assist shareholders to make an informed assessment
of Catapult’s operations, financial position, business strategies, and prospects for future financial years. The OFR
forms part of the Directors’ Report and supplements, complements, and should be read together with, the financial
report sections of this document that commence on page 48.
While Catapult’s results are reported under IFRS, the OFR also includes non-IFRS information such as EBITDA,
underlying EBITDA, Gross Margin, Contribution Margin, free cash flow, Annualized Contract Value (ACV), ACV
Churn, and Lifetime Duration (LTD). See, in particular, the Key Performance Metrics section below.
The Board considers that the included non-IFRS metrics are necessary for shareholders to understand Catapult’s
financial performance given that it is a Software-as-a-Service ('SaaS') business. The non-IFRS information has not
been independently audited or reviewed, and should not be considered an indication of, or an alternative to, IFRS
measures.
KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS
The Company measures its performance through the achievement of a number of principal SaaS metrics, and is
pleased to report the following movements in all of these metrics:

The Company is well positioned with $16,225k of cash at bank as at March 31, 2023 (FY22: $26,108k).
The Company made the decision to reduce its accelerated growth investment in a number of areas, including
both employee expenses and general overhead. Specifically, Catapult reprioritized its investment to
concentrate in its key product verticals which continue to be the core growth engine.
The Company expanded its league-wide deal with the NRL, for its performance technology to be used by all 16
NRL and all 6 NRLW teams as well as Australia's national teams and match officials.
The Company extended its GameTracker video technology into NBA basketball, enabling every performance
dataset, including wearables, to be connected to multi-angle video, with seamless collaboration across
departments from anywhere.
The Company further extended its GameTracker video suite to all basketball teams, enabling them to automate
complex tasks that previously required manual post-game analysis, saving them critical time.
The Company launched new live athlete monitoring features within its Vector product, to unlock real-time

The Company launched its GameTracker technology into the sport of Ice Hockey, where its global ACV has
grown 7x in the last five years, and its video solutions are trusted by teams around the world, including a league-
wide agreement with the NHL.
The Company announced its plans for an accelerated return to positive free cash flow1, which is now expected
to be achieved in FY24. This included a decision to reduce the previously announced Accelerated Growth
investment plan in a number of areas, including both employee expenses and general overhead. As part of this,
the Company is reprioritizing its investment to concentrate on its key high-growth and strong-margin product
verticals. The reduction in costs will mainly impact more speculative areas.
The Group finalized an upsized $20,000k debt facility on improved commercial terms, with its existing financier
the US-based Western Alliance Bank, with a maturity date of December 27, 2024. As at March 31, 2023, $15,747k
has been drawn down on the facility.
➔ An additional 4.55% stake in Science for Sport Limited (SfS), the subscription online sport learning platform,
was acquired as a result of a put option exercise for a purchase sum of US$28k. Put and call options to acquire
the remaining 20% of the issued share capital in SfS, which had an original term date of November 9, 2022,
have been extended to December 31, 2025. Catapult previously acquired 75.45% of Science for Sport on
November 9, 2020.

In partnership with Energous Corporation (NASDAQ: WATT), a leading developer of RF-based charging for
intelligent wireless power networks, the Company built the first smart American football for sports teams with
an embedded tracker that can charge wirelessly, providing the data precision that Catapult customers have
come to expect from its wearables & video solutions.
The Company continued its commercial growth in the European market growth projections from the close of
FY22 with the addition of many new customers, including AZ Alkmaar (Eredivisie football club), FC St. Pauli (2.
Bundesliga football club), and Zebre Parma (Italian Rugby Union team).
BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS
Catapult’s vision is to create the platform of solutions for teams and athletes, in order to improve the performance
of athletes and teams globally.

CATAPULT GROUP INTERNATIONAL LTD
2023 ANNUAL REPORT
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the financial year, the principal activities of the entities within the Group and across the verticals were:
➔ In the Performance & Health vertical, a range of SaaS tracking technologies that use proprietary algorithms to
quantify the load, effort and fatigue levels of athletes enabling them to maximize performance and minimize
injury.
➔ In the Tactics & Coaching vertical, a range of video analysis software that segments game footage, enables
instant video manipulation and replay, scouting of upcoming opponents, and more effective tactical and coaching
practices and outcomes.
➔ In the Management vertical, AMS or the ‘athlete management system’, which is a cloud-based repository for
wellness information that teams use to better understand athlete welfare, and an administration tool to plan
rostering and the like.
➔ In the Professional Services vertical, a range of services that maximize the productivity of customers’ sports
technology, providing them with sports science insights and perspectives to gain a competitive edge.
➔ In the Media & Engagement vertical, a range of services to manage and monetize the video content assets (i.e.,
footage) of customers, to drive fan engagement via social media, generate revenue from media licensing, and
facilitate talent scouting of athletes.
The Group’s wearable and video solution products are provided to elite clients on both a subscription and upfront
capital sales basis, with subscription sales forming the vast majority of all sales to elite clients. Catapult is the global
leader in wearable tracking technology and analytics solutions for the sports performance market with more than
3,800 teams (FY22: 3,400 teams). Catapult is also a market leader in providing innovative digital and video analytic
software solutions to elite sports teams globally.
With major offices in Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom and over 460 staff in 28 countries (FY22:
500 staff in 28 countries), Catapult is a global technology success story that is committed to advancing the way
data is used in elite sports.
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 has broadened its suite of athlete analytics solutions through organic growth and through
acquisitions, resulting in a substantially larger addressable market opportunity across a wider range of customers in
both elite and prosumer sporting leagues. Catapult expects to benefit in these and other segments with increasing
sales and technical functionality.
BUSINESS RISK
In executing its growth plans, Catapult is subject to the market, operational and acquisition risks, including those
outlined below:
Pandemic Risks
The COVID-19 crisis has caused significant disruption in sports globally. Despite the trend returning to normalcy, a
pandemic, including COVID-19 remains a risk for the Company. A pandemic or resurgence of COVID-19, including
through new variants, may cause the closure or disruption of sporting events, reduce customer demand, adversely
affect supply chain management, cause people movement disruptions and financial market volatility (including
currency markets) and otherwise adversely affect the business. A pandemic may affect the ability of Catapult’s
customers or suppliers to comply with their obligations under their agreements and influence renewal or subsequent
contracting decisions. Catapult continues to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the business and continues to consider
ways to mitigate any risks to the Company, including monitoring the impact of Government requirements and health
measures on relevant markets, and supporting customers and employees to provide a safe working environment as
well as supporting hybrid and remote working.
UNLEASH POTENTIAL
22
CATAPULT GROUP INTERNATIONAL LTD
2023 ANNUAL REPORT
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Economic Risk
Catapult may be affected by general economic conditions. Changes in the broader economic and financial climate
may adversely affect the conduct of 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, global health risks such as the pandemic, inflation, legislation, monetary and
regulatory policies, the increased level of global uncertainty and volatility associated with the conflict in Ukraine, the
imposition of sanctions and export controls, as well as changes to accounting standards, may also affect the
performance of Catapult. Additionally, while the US regional banking crisis has not adversely affected Catapult,
further US bank or financial institution closures and continued global banking instability may affect Catapult’s ability
to access cash, cash equivalents, and short and long-term investments, which could have a material adverse effect on
Catapult’s business and financial condition. Such factors, in addition to other macroeconomic conditions, may
adversely affect our customers and suppliers, which could also have a material adverse effect on Catapult’s business
and financial condition. To help mitigate these risks, Catapult maintains a cash management strategy and continues
to monitor its partner financial institutions and key markets. Further, detailed financial oversight allows responsive
changes to the business following variations to the economic and financial climate.
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.
Catapult mitigates these risks by continually striving for product innovation and development, pursuing strategic
partnerships or acquisitions where appropriate, and monitoring competitor and industry activity to provide products
that customers need.
Technology and Hosting Platforms
Catapult relies on third-party hosting providers 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. Catapult regularly monitors platform
performance to attenuate this risk.
Other factors such as hacking, denial of service attacks, or natural disasters may also adversely affect these systems
and cause them to become unavailable. Catapult’s development of business continuity and crisis management plans
is designed to help mitigate these concerns.
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 a 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.
Cyber Security and Data Breaches
Catapult provides its services through cloud-based and other online platforms. Despite investing in, and developing,
our in-house technology capabilities, engaging reputable third-party IT service providers, and educating employees on
data security and awareness, 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. Catapult’s
services frequently involve processing sensitive personal or corporate confidential information. Such sensitive
information could be taken, lost or viewed by unauthorized persons, either maliciously or via administrative or user
UNLEASH POTENTIAL
23
CATAPULT GROUP INTERNATIONAL LTD
2023 ANNUAL REPORT
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
error. Such a data breach or other cyber incident could lead to unauthorized disclosure of users’ data with associated
reputational damage, claims by users, regulatory scrutiny and fines. Although Catapult employs strategies and
protections to improve the quality of its administrative processes and global cyber security review, including Audit and
Risk Committee risk updates, and ongoing external cyber threat assessments to minimize 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 on 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.
Catapult continues to manage these risks by searching for replacement components, placing component orders well
in advance, placing larger orders to increase stock on hand levels, and allowing the business sufficient time to respond
to shortages and make necessary changes to manufacturers.
As a manufacturer, importer and supplier of products, product liability risk, faulty products and associated recall are
key risks of the Catapult business. While Catapult has product liability insurance, not all claims will be covered by this,
and any issues arising from product liability faults may be significant and beyond the protection of Catapult’s existing
insurance coverage.
Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange rates are particularly important to Catapult’s business, given the significant amount of revenue that
Catapult derives outside the United States of America. Catapult’s financial statements are presented in US dollars.
Adverse movements in foreign currency markets, which are regularly monitored by Catapult, could affect Catapult’s
profitability and financial position.
Development and Commercialization of Intellectual Property
Catapult relies on its ability to develop and commercialize its intellectual property. A failure to protect, develop and
commercialize its intellectual property successfully could 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, including regular trademark searches and
strategic protection of the register, 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 licenses, whether now or in the future, will give Catapult commercially significant protection of its
intellectual property.
While Catapult regularly monitors unauthorized use of its intellectual property rights, this can be difficult and costly.
Catapult may not be able to detect unauthorized use of its intellectual property rights. Changes in laws in Australia
and other jurisdictions in which Catapult operates may adversely affect Catapult’s intellectual property rights.
Other parties may develop and patent substantially similar or substitute products, processes, or technologies to those
used by Catapult, and other parties may allege that Catapult’s products incorporate intellectual property rights
derived from third parties without their permission. Catapult may be subject to a claim that its current products
infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. Allegations of this kind, if successful, may result in injunctions

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
being 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 defense 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 cannot be certain that further development of its video and athlete tracking technology, software products,
or online sport learning platform 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. Catapult seeks to alleviate some of these risks by
undertaking customer feedback programs to inform future product development priorities.
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 utilize 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. Catapult’s policies and procedures,
and the training provided to employees, help to manage these risks.
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 and regularly reviews the level and scope of such cover
to ensure it is appropriate. However, to the extent that a claim is brought against Catapult that is not covered or fully
covered by insurance, such a 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 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
which may be costly and may adversely affect the operational and financial results of Catapult. Catapult maintains
financial oversight to enable responsive changes to spending in the event of such a dispute.
Catapult Sports Inc. is the subject of a patent infringement claim filed by Charles Smith Enterprises, LLC (a non-
practising entity) filed before the District Court of Delaware. While the claim involves a current Catapult product, it
is not anticipated that this claim will materially affect the operation of Catapult or cause disruption to Catapult’s
products and services. Catapult Group International Ltd is the subject of a trademark opposition procedure filed
before the United States Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) by adidas AG in respect of a pending trademark
application in the United States. It is not anticipated that this trademark opposition will materially affect the
operation of Catapult or cause disruption to Catapult’s products and services.
Given the above circumstances, no provisions have been recognized at March 31, 2023 in respect of either matter.

REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report (audited), which is incorporated by reference into, and forms part of, this Directors’ Report,
is presented separately on page 35.
INDEMNITIES GIVEN AND INSURANCE PREMIUMS PAID TO AUDITORS AND OFFICERS
The Company indemnifies Directors, secretaries and executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries against
any liability incurred as a result of them being, or acting in their capacity as, an officer of the Company or a subsidiary,
to the maximum extent permitted by law. No payment has been made to indemnify any director, secretary or executive
officer of the Company or its subsidiaries during, or since the end of, the financial year.
The Company also maintains a Directors’ and Officers’ insurance policy which, subject to some exceptions, provides
insurance cover to past, present or future officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, including all Directors of the
Company. The Company paid an insurance premium for the policy during the year. 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.
To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify Ernst & Young, as part of the terms of its audit
engagement agreement, against claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). No
payment has been made to indemnify Ernst & Young during, or since the end of, the financial year.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
During FY23, Ernst & Young, the Company’s auditors, performed no non-audit services for Company. During FY22,
Ernst & Young, the Company’s auditors, performed certain other services in addition to their statutory audit duties.
The auditors complied with the Board’s expectations of meeting the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001.
The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the prior financial year by the auditors. It is satisfied
that the provision of those non-audit services during the prior financial 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 and their related practices for audit and non-audit
services provided during the financial year are set out in Note 26 to the financial statements.
A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required under s307C of the Corporations Act 2001, is included
on page 34 of this financial report and forms part of this Directors’ Report.

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on
behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, to take responsibility on
behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Other than as set out in the Financial and Operating Performance section of the Operating and Financial Review,
there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the year.
EVENTS ARISING SINCE THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD
➔
The Company announced on March 28, 2023 an executive transition with the appointment of a new Chief
Financial Officer, Bob Cruickshank, based in the United States. The then-current CFO, Hayden Stockdale, will
leave the Company at the end of May 2023 following a handover period that commenced in early April 2023.
➔
The Company launched a new athlete monitoring solution, the Vector T7, on April 1, 2023. The device is 73%
smaller than its predecessor and delivers the most accurate and comprehensive player data in indoor
environments, including the Company’s proprietary “Basketball Movement Profile.”
The Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance that has arisen since the end of the financial year that, in
their opinion, has significantly affected, or may significantly affect in future years, Catapult’s operations, the results
of those operations or the state of Catapult’s affairs.
ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The Directors of the Company present the Remuneration Report for Non-Executive Directors, Executive Directors,
and other Key Management Personnel (‘KMP’), prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the
Corporations Regulations 2001.
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 remuneration arrangements for executive management and
Directors.
Catapult's remuneration policy emphasizes the Board’s desire to align executive remuneration with shareholder
interests, attract and retain business critical talent, and preserve cash. The plan outcomes remain aligned with
shareholder interests, are reflective of a modern technology company at Catapult's stage of evolution and are
consistent with market practice within the key regions Catapult operates within. As such, FY23 executive remuneration
arrangements comprised the following components:
• A market competitive remuneration mix consisting of fixed and ‘at risk’ components. The ‘at risk’ components
consist of STI(i) and LTI(ii) under a clearly defined framework with a greater emphasis on the ‘at risk’ component
than in previous years;
• Equity-based STI awards that are based on a combination of executive and company performance, allocated on
an annual basis using a share price with a 12.5% premium over a 30-day average VWAP prior to June 1, granted
on July 1 for vesting over a 12-month period from the grant date. With respect to new starters, different grant
dates are applied to the annual assessment; and
• Equity-based LTI awards that are based on a combination of executive and company performance, allocated on
an annual basis using a share price with a 62% premium over a 30-day average VWAP prior to June 1, granted on
July 1 for vesting over a 36 month period from grant. With respect to new starters different grant dates are
applied to the annual assessment.

(ii)
STI refers to Short Term Incentive
LTI refers to Long Term Incentive
Note that the Board retains a wide discretion in relation to equity-based awards, including what aspects of corporate
and personal performance are assessed in a performance year, what performance KPIs, hurdles, and outcomes are,
when and what form rewards are made and vest.
Catapult’s target remuneration mix for FY23 was as follows:

The remuneration objectives and structure, including participation and the associated terms and conditions for both

for change put to the full Board for approval as part of regular reviews of Catapult’s Remuneration Policy. Variations
within the Policy are considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure Catapult retains flexibility in the various
international markets in which it operates.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
Short-Term Incentive (STI) & Long-Term Incentive (LTI) – FY23
For FY23, executive STI awards were based on the most recent assessment of performance. As FY22’s Company
Scorecard impacted the legacy STI outcome, the FY23 award opportunities, which under the new plan are granted
towards the beginning of the financial year, were based on the most recent assessment of performance. The
assessment was made against the business-critical, financially focussed, company-focussed objectives set for the
executives. Performance hurdles are set annually to determine and drive executive performance alignment with long-
term shareholder interests. The Board applied measurable and controllable objectives which align with strategic
objectives and enhance shareholder value. To ensure the grants were aligned with shareholder interests, STI grants
were made using a 12.5% premium upon the allocation share price as at June 1, 2022. LTI grants were made using a
62% premium upon the allocation share price as at June 1, 2022.
The Executive Chairman’s FY23 STI award continued to be based on the annual Company scorecard. The FY23
Company scorecard included an ACV growth metric target (25% weighting), an EBITDA margin target (25%
weighting), and a Free Cash Flow target (50% weighting). The FY23 scorecard achieved an 88% weighted outcome
against the target hurdles, as noted above.

Any STI award will be forfeited if the participant terminates their employment before the
vesting date. The Board has the discretion to apply discretion to this restriction.
For equity awards, on June 30, 2023, at the end of the vesting period. For cash awards, on
or before June 30, 2023, once the STI outcome has been determined.

How is performance
measured?
The STI performance measures were chosen as they reflect the core driver’s of short-term
performance and also provide a framework for delivering sustainable value to the Group,

Director Fee Sacrifice Plan
The Salary Sacrifice Offer is designed to encourage Directors to build their Shareholdings in the Company. It is not
intended to be used for the purposes of providing Directors with additional remuneration.
Participation in the Salary Sacrifice Offer by a Director in respect of their annual base fees is voluntary except for the
Board has determined that fees paid to Directors in their role as Chairman of a Board Committee will be satisfied by
the issue of Rights. Therefore, participation in the Salary Sacrifice Offer by a Director for Chairman Committee fees
will be mandatory. The current fee payable for the Chairmen of the SaaS Scaling Committee, Audit & Risk Committee,
and the Nomination & Remuneration Committee is $100,000 AUD, $40,000 AUD, and $20,000 AUD, respectively.
The material terms of the Salary Sacrifice Offer are set out below.
Amount sacrificed
Voluntary Component
Directors may, at their election, sacrifice up to a maximum of 100% of their
total pre-tax base annual fees (inclusive of superannuation).
There is no minimum amount that a Director must sacrifice in respect of the
voluntary component.
Directors may only sacrifice fees in relation to “prospective” fees.
Mandatory Component
Directors must sacrifice 100% of their pre-tax Chairman Committee fees
(inclusive of superannuation).
Number of Rights to be granted
The maximum number of Rights that may be acquired by Directors depends

•
the amount chosen to be sacrificed by a Director;
•
the amount of a Director’s remuneration from time to time;
• whether a Director is a Chairman of a Board Committee; and
•
the Share price at the time when Rights are granted.
Calculation of the number of
Rights
The number of Rights to be granted will be calculated by reference to a price
(the Reference Price), determined as follows:
Opting in and out
•
•
•
for the period September 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, the VWAP of the
Company’s ordinary Shares over the five trading days ending on July
1, 2021;
for the period of July 1, 2022 to August 1, 2022, the VWAP over the
five trading days ending on April 1, 2022; and
for each period of July 1 to June 30 within the period of August 2, 2022

Timing of grants of Rights
The timing of the grant of Rights is as follows:
• Following the closing of the Opt-in Period for each Director or, where
the grant of Rights to a Director is subject to receipt of shareholder
approval, the date of the Company’s general meeting which approves
the grant of the Rights to that Director.
Structure of Rights
The structure of the Rights is as follows:
• Rights have a 12-month vesting period (i.e., will vest at the end of the
12-month contribution period) subject to meeting a defined service
condition; and
• Rights convert automatically to restricted or unrestricted Securities
(per the Director’s election) at the vesting date.
Restriction period on Shares
Shares allocated on vesting of Rights will be subject to trading restrictions
on dealing.
Exceptions to trading restrictions
Retirement and cessation of
employment
Dividends, capital returns and
voting rights
The restriction period will be until the earlier of:
•
•
the restriction period nominated by the Director (which may be up
to 15 years from the grant date for the Rights); or
the date the participant ceases to hold office as a Director.
The Board may exercise its discretion to release all or part of the restricted
Shares on a case-by-case basis in exceptional circumstances (for example,
demonstrated financial or personal hardship or other extenuating
circumstances).
If a Director ceases office, then unvested Rights vest (pro-rated for time up
to the date of cessation of office) and are automatically exercised on the date
of cessation. The remaining unvested Rights immediately lapse on cessation
of office.
Rights do not carry dividend or voting entitlements. However, as Shares issued
or transferred on the vesting of the Rights have been ‘earned’, participants
will be immediately entitled to any dividends and capital returns paid on the
Shares and to exercise voting rights attached to any Shares allocated.

to intangible assets were $16,297k for the period (FY22: $13,526k), which are presented as cash outflows from investing
activities.
The Group had a current asset deficit of $13,312k (FY22: surplus $91k). Current liabilities include contract liabilities of
$28,158k (FY22: $25,385k) which are expected to release into revenue within 12 months. Current contract liabilities are
expected to be delivered over the next 12 months; therefore, no actual cash outflows are expected other than those
required to pay costs associated with delivering the service.
The Group has continued to secure sales to many leading sporting organizations across the world for which revenue
and cash inflows will be recognized in future periods. The execution of the Board approved FY24 budget, including sales
plans, is central to the Directors’ application of the going concern principle. Should it be required, Management could
reduce variable and fixed expenditure.
The Group confirmed the finalization and execution of documentation for an upsized US$20,000k debt facility with
Western Alliance Bank during December 2022. The multi-year facility has improved commercial terms compared to
the previous facility and has a maturity date of December 27, 2024. As a result, at the reporting date, the borrowings
are presented as non-current liabilities at period end.
As disclosed at Note 19.2, the Group drew down funds of $15,747k from the debt facility during the period. The Group
expects the funds drawn down from Western Alliance Bank to be sufficient for all its working capital needs for the
ensuing 12 months from the date of this report. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the group has fully drawn down the
remainder of the facility to $20,000k. Management has fully drawn down the debt facility in excess of current working

capital needs as a risk mitigant against any adverse effect from the US banking crisis that has occurred since March
2023. Refer to the “Economic Risk” section of the Directors’ Report for potential risks associated with the recent US
regional bank crisis.
The Group has to date complied with the annually reset covenant requirements (trailing 3-month adjusted EBITDA
covenant) required under both the previous and current debt facilities and Management forecast compliance with the
covenant requirements as agreed on 10 May 2023 (refer Note 19.2) through the 12 months from the date of this report.
The Group continues to be well positioned with $16,225k of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2023.
The Group expects to be free cashflow positive for FY24. 2
The Group also periodically reviews its capital management strategy to ensure funding initiatives are in place to
support medium-term growth objectives.
Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that the going concern principle is appropriate.
NOTE 3. CHANGES TO REPORTING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A number of new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have also been issued and will
be applicable in future periods. While these remain subject to ongoing assessment, no significant impacts on the
financial statements of the Group have been identified to date. These standards have not been applied in the
preparation of these Financial Statements.
3.1 New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements are
consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year
ended March 31, 2022, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of April 1, 2022. The Group has not early
adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several
amendments apply for the first time in 2023 but do not have a significant impact on the Group’s annual consolidated
financial statements.
NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial report has been prepared using the significant accounting policies and measurement bases
summarized below.
4.1 Overall considerations
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the
consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full,
even if that results in a deficit balance.
4.2 Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of March 31,
2023. 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 financial year-
end reporting date of March 31 and are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group at this date.
Catapult Sports Technology Beijing Co Ltd (based in China) reports its local financial statements on December 31.
2 Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operations minus net cash used in investing activities. This is a non-IFRS number and is unaudited.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealized gains
and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealized 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 recognized
from the date when the control is obtained, 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.
Consideration to the seller, subject to their continued employment, is recognized separately as an expense during the
period the service is provided.
The Group recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless of
whether they have been previously recognized 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) the fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree, and (c) the 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 value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate
consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all
of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition
date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate
consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss.
4.4 Foreign currency translation
Presentation currency
The presentation currency of the Group is US Dollars, and the functional currency of the parent entity is in Australian
Dollars.
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 recognized in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items are not re-translated at period-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.

NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
4.4 Foreign currency translation (continued)
Foreign operations
In the Group’s financial statements, all assets, liabilities, and transactions of Group entities with a functional currency
other than the US dollar are translated into the US dollar 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 the US dollar at the closing rate at the reporting date.
Under this method, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and consolidated
statement of cash flows for each year and period have been translated into the presentational currency using the
average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the
cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated
at the dates of the transaction). Exchange differences are charged or credited to other comprehensive income and
recognized in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation the cumulative
translation differences recognized in equity are reclassified to profit or loss and recognized 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 the Group is entitled to, 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.
To determine whether to recognize revenue, the Group follows a five-step process:
1. Identifying the contract with a customer
2. Identifying the performance obligations
3. Determining the transaction price
4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
5. Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied
When the Group enters into transactions involving its products and services, the total transaction price for a contract
is allocated amongst the various performance obligations. Revenue is recognized either at a point in time or over time,
when the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to customers.
Subscription - Software as a Service
Subscription revenue comprises the recurring monthly recognition of revenue from wearables subscription sales,
rendering of software services and content licensing. Unbilled revenue at the period end is recognized in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as contract assets and included within trade and other receivables.
Unearned revenue at the period end is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as deferred
revenue and included within contract liabilities.
Revenue is recognized as performance obligations under customer contracts are met. Performance obligations consist
of the provisioning of the software/cloud/SaaS subscription and related maintenance and support services over the
term of the contract.
(i) Wearables subscription sale
The Group provides access to its software under subscription agreements which are referred to as Software as a
Service (SaaS) revenue, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. To enable its customers to
access the software platform offered by the Group, customers are provided with hardware devices. The Group has

2023 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
4.5 Revenue (continued)
determined that Catapult's customers do not have the right to direct the use of Catapult's hardware devices. Due to
the interdependency between the software services and the hardware devices, the Company considers these revenue
transactions to form part of a single performance obligation. These contracts are therefore accounted for as service
contracts. There are no variable consideration terms within the contracts.
These hardware units enable customers to access the software platform offered by the Group. The transactions
involving hardware and accessories do not convey a distinct good or service. The provision of hardware does not
transfer control to the customer as the Group provides a significant service of integrating the software service to
produce a combined output. The provision of the hardware, accessories and software services is referred to as
Software as a Service (SaaS) revenue, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period.
The Group’s continual assessment of and review relating to the subscription agreements continues to indicate that
the subscription agreements do not contain a lease component.
(ii) Rendering of services
The Group is involved in providing software, support and maintenance services. The Group recognizes revenue from
such activities on a monthly basis in equal amounts for each month of the subscription agreement.
(iii) 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 recognized 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 recognized
on a monthly basis in equal amounts for each month of the content licensing agreement.
(iv) Multiple element contracts
The Group may enter into a contract or multiple contracts with customers that may include multiple performance
obligations. Where multiple contracts are entered into, the Group determines whether it is required to be measured
with another pre-existing contract by determining whether the performance obligations promised are being sold at
their stand-alone selling price (‘SASP’). Where pricing is equal to SASP, the contract is treated as a stand-alone
contract. Where pricing is not equal to SASP, the contract is combined with the pre-existing contract with the
customer as a multiple-performance obligation (multi-PO) arrangement. Where a multi-PO arrangement is entered
into, each performance obligation is allocated a proportional amount of revenue based on the transaction price of the
contract and the relative SASP of each performance obligation. Included in subscription revenue are additional revenue
items related to the media revenue. Revenue is recognized either at a point in time or over time, when the Group
satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to customers.
Capital goods
Capital revenue is the sale of goods to third parties and is recognized at a point in time 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
and sale of hardware in the video analytics business the transfer usually occurs once the software account has been
activated. Included in capital revenue are also additional revenue items related to the sale of hardware, training and
installation revenue. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Group satisfies performance obligations by
transferring the promised goods or services to customers.
Significant financing component
In assessing the transaction price for the sale of its subscription products, the Group considers the existence of a
significant financing component. From time to time, the Group receives payments from customers for 2-3 years in
advance of the performance obligation being satisfied. Subject to the assessment of a customer’s geographic and
individual credit risk, analysis of specific contract pricing relative to similar customer segments for short-term
contracts, and materiality to the overall sales contract, there may be a significant financing component for these
contracts considering the length of time between the customer’s payment and the satisfaction of the performance

obligation, as well as the prevailing interest rate in the market. As such, where a significant financing component is
identified, the transaction price is discounted using the interest rate implicit in the contract. For the year ending March
31, 2023, there is a significant financing component that the Group recognized as a finance cost when the
consideration is received in advance.
Finance 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 recognized at the time the right to receive payment is established.
4.6 Operating expenses
Operating expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon utilization 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 capitalized
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 recognized. See Note 4.3 for information on how goodwill is initially determined. Goodwill is
carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Refer to Note 14.1 for a description of impairment testing
procedures.
4.9 Other intangible assets
Acquired intangible assets
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized 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 recognized as intangible assets at their fair values (see Note 4.3).
Internally developed software & hardware IP
Expenditure on the research phase of projects to develop new customized software and hardware IP for athlete
tracking and analytic analysis is recognized as an expense as incurred.
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;
Costs that are directly attributable to a project’s development phase are recognized as intangible assets, provided
they meet the following recognition requirements:
•
•
•
•
•
• Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.
• Directly attributable costs include employee costs and costs incurred on software & hardware IP development.
Subsequent measurement
The software/hardware IP will generate probable future economic benefits.
The Group has the ability to use or sell the software/hardware IP; and
All intangible assets, including capitalized internally developed software and hardware IP, are accounted for using the
cost model whereby capitalized costs are amortized 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): 3–9 years, except with regard to identified projects with 2 years
• Brand names: 2–5 years
• Customer lists: 7–10 years
• Hardware IP: 3 years
• Distributor relationships: 10 years
• Distributor contracts: 10 years
• Goodwill: annually assessed by management for impairment.
4.10 Property, plant and equipment
Plant and office equipment and fixtures and fittings are initially recognized 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 and office equipment as well as
fixtures and fittings are subsequently measured using the cost model, cost less subsequent depreciation and
impairment losses.
The following useful lives are applied:
• Plant and office equipment: 2-20 years
• Subscription & demo units: 4 years
• Fixture and fittings: life of lease
• Property improvements: life of lease
• Right-of-use assets: life of lease
Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis to write down the cost less estimated residual value of subscription,
service, demonstration wearable units and plant and office equipment over their useful life. 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 recognized in profit or loss within other income
or other expenses.
4.11 Leased assets
Short–term and low value leases
The Group has elected not to recognize a lease liability for short-term leases (leases with an expected term of 12
months or less) or for leases of low value assets. Payments made under such leases are expensed as incurred. In
addition, certain variable lease payments are not permitted to be recognized as lease liabilities and are expensed as
incurred (see Note 22). Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.
4.12 Impairment testing of goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent
cash inflows (cash-generating units). Goodwill is allocated to those group of cash-generating unit (CGU) 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.

NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
4.12 Impairment testing of goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
(continued)
CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated (determined by the Group’s management as equivalent, or at a lower level,
to its operating segments) are tested for impairment at least annually. CGUs are tested for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the CGU’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount,
which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected
future cash flows from each CGU and determines a suitable discount 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 reorganizations and asset enhancements. Discount
factors are determined individually for each CGU and reflect management’s assessment of respective risk profiles,
such as market and asset-specific risks factors.
Impairment losses for CGUs reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the group of CGUs. Any
remaining impairment loss is charged across the other assets in the CGU to the extent that the charge does not reduce
the value of the assets below their recoverable amount. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently
reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist. An impairment charge
is reversed if the CGUs recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
4.13 Financial instruments
Recognition, initial measurement and de-recognition
Financial assets, except trade receivables, are initially recognized at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not
at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing
component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price.
Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value minus, in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through
profit or loss, transaction costs.
Financial assets are de-recognized 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-recognized
when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.
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:
• Amortized cost;
• Financial assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (‘FVTPL’);
• Financial assets reported through Other Comprehensive Income (‘FVOCI’);
The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value
through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with
the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original
effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit
enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit
risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within
the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in
credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the
exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
4.13 Financial instruments (continued)
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs.
Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime
ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss
experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. All income
and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognized 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.
Amortized 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 amortized cost using the effective interest (EIR)
method and are subject to 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.
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 amortized 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 recognized in profit or loss. All derivative financial instruments that are not designated and effective as hedging
instruments are accounted for at FVTPL.
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 recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized 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 realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized 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.
The carrying amount of recognized and unrecognized deferred tax assets, including deferred tax assets derived from
tax losses, are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognized 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
unrecognized deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits
available to recover the asset and convincing other evidence exists to this effect.
The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set
off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income
taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend
either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to
be settled or recovered.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss,
except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income (such as the revaluation of land)
or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity,
respectively.
Catapult Group International Ltd and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have formed a tax consolidated
group. Therefore, 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.
4.15 Income taxes
AASB Interpretation 23 requires the assessment of whether the effect of uncertainty over income tax treatments
should be included in the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits
and tax rates. The interpretation outlines the requirements to determine whether any entity considers uncertain tax
treatments separately, the assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation
authorities, how an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and
tax rates and how an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.
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.
The tax effect of share-based payment awards granted is recognized in current income tax expense / (benefit), except
to the extent that the total tax deductions are expected to exceed the cumulative remuneration expense. In this
situation, the excess of the associated current or deferred tax is recognized in equity and forms part of the treasury
shares reserve.
Other components of equity include the following:
Foreign currency translation reserve – comprises foreign currency translation differences arising from the translation
of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency, USD (see Note
4.4).
Share option reserve – comprises the grant date fair value of options issued but not exercised.

Treasury shares – The treasury reserve is used to hold the book value of shares held by the Employee Share Trust for
future issues to participants on exercise of options / restricted stock units. The tax effect of tax deductions for
contributions to the Employee Share Trust in excess of the associated cumulative remuneration expense is recorded
directly in equity and forms part of the treasury shares reserve. Amounts are transferred out of this reserve and into
accumulated losses when the relevant equity rights are converted into shares.
All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity.

Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly
within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Examples of
such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave. Short-term employee
benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
4.19 Share-based employee remuneration
The Group operates equity-settled share-based remuneration plans for its employees. None of the Group’s plans
feature any options for employees to require 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.

NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
4.20 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions for product warranties, legal disputes, onerous contracts or other claims are recognized 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.
No liability is recognized 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 disclosure
is required.
Restructuring provisions (when applicable) will only be recognized 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 recognized 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 recognized as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision.
4.21 Goods and Services Tax, Sales taxes and Value Added Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized 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 recognized 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
Determining when to recognize 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 Group provides GPS
tracking units and other associated hardware items for team sports under a subscription model. Under this model,
the customer has the right to use the hardware units for the period of the subscription, however they must return the
hardware to the Group at the end of the subscription period, and the Group retains ownership and control of the
hardware throughout the subscription period.
All revenue under subscription sales is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the subscription period,
reflecting management’s best estimate of the delivery of services over the term of the agreements, and all
subscription hardware items are capitalized and recorded on the Company’s fixed asset register and depreciated over
the expected useful life of the assets.

NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
4.22 Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies (continued)
Recognition of deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the Group’s
future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized, 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.
The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set
off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income
taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend
either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to
be settled or recovered.
Comparative amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position have been reclassified for consistency.
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 a weighted average cost of capital to discount them. Estimation uncertainty
relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate (see Note
4.12).
Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the
expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may change the
utility of certain software and IT equipment.
Inventories
Management estimates the net realizable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence
available at each reporting date. The future realization 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 Hyperinflation
AASB 129 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary economies, requires that the financial statements of entities
whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to be adjusted for the effects of changes in a suitable
general price index and to be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the
reporting period. For the purposes of concluding on whether an economy is categorized as high inflation under AASB
129, the standard details a series of factors to consider, including a cumulative inflation rate over three years that is
close to or exceeds 100%. Inflation has increased significantly since early 2018 and the three-year cumulative inflation
rate has exceeded 100%. Since 2018, Argentina has been considered as a hyperinflationary economy.

4.23 Hyperinflation (continued)
In accordance with AASB 129, the financial statements of an entity that reports in the currency of a high inflation
economy must be reported in terms of the unit of measure in effect at the date of the financial statements. All
amounts in the statement of financial position that are not indicated in terms of the current unit of measure at the
date of the financial statements must be restated by applying a general price index. All the components of the income
statement must be indicated in terms of the unit of measurement updated at the date of the financial statements,
applying the change in the general price index that has occurred since the date on which the income and expenses
were originally recognized in financial statements.
The Argentine Securities Commission established that the series of indexes to be used in the AASB 129 application is
the one established by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences.
The Group’s comparative balances and amounts were presented in a stable currency and therefore are not adjusted
for subsequent changes in the price level or exchange rates.

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation for the current financial year.

NOTE 6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2023
Management identifies its operating segments based on the Group’s product verticals which represent the main
offerings provided by the Group. The Group’s three main operating segments are:

As at September 30, 2022, Catapult underwent a review of its Reporting Segments and updated these segments to
more accurately align to the current operations of the business. The comparatives in this segment note have been
restated to reflect the new segments. The changes are as follows:
“Wearables” was renamed to “Performance & Health”
“Video Analytics” was renamed to “Tactics & Coaching”
“New Product” was renamed to “Media & Other”
“Management” & “Prof Services” product verticals were transferred from “Wearables” to “Media & Other”
“Media & Engagement” product verticals were transferred from “Video Analytics” to “Media & Other”
“P&H Prosumer” product verticals were transferred from “New Product” to “Performance & Health”.
These operating segments are monitored, and strategic decisions are made on the basis of adjusted segment
operating results by the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Group identifies the Chief Executive Officer as Chief
Operating Decision Maker.

The recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs is based on the value in use immediately before the change in
Reporting Segments was in excess of the carrying amount. The Group has also performed an impairment test
immediately subsequent to the change in Reporting Segments whereby it was determined that the recoverable
amount remained in excess of the carrying value of the CGU or group of CGUs. Based on this, management did not
identify any impairment to the CGU or group of CGUs resulting from the changes from the reorganization of
Reporting Segments as at September 30, 2022 where the reorganization took place.
The Group has used the value-in-use to determine the recoverable amount. The present value of the expected cash
flows was determined using updated financial forecasts approved by Management and the Board, the terminal
growth rate remained consistent at 2.9% and the discount rate was updated to 9.4% for all CGU value-in-use
calculations as at September 30, 2022. The assumptions used for the CGU value-in-use calculations as at March 31,

The net carrying value of trade receivables is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the
practical expedient are measured at the transaction price. Contract assets are recognized over the period in which
performance obligations are completed and represent the Group's right to consideration to date but not yet invoiced.
All of the Group’s trade and other receivables that have been classified as financial assets have been reviewed at every
reporting period for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are written-off when there is no reasonable expectation
of recovery but are still subject to enforcement activity. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written-off are
credited against the same line item. During the year ended March 31, 2023, an amount of US$451,192 (2022:
US$415,694) was found to be impaired, and subsequently these bad debts were written off. Furthermore, details on

The Group has undergone an update to its operating segments for the year to March 31, 2023 and has updated the goodwill allocations to
reflect this. As such, goodwill allocation for March 31, 2022 has been excluded as it is not comparable for the periods March 31, 2023 and March
31, 2022. Refer to Note 6 for further information.
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that the CGU or group of CGUs may be
impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for the CGU or group of CGUs is required, the
Group estimates the CGU or group of CGUs recoverable amount. The CGU or group of CGUs recoverable amount is
the higher of the CGU or group of CGUs fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that
are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of the CGU or
group of CGUs exceeds its recoverable amount, the CGU or group of CGUs is considered impaired and is written down
to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in the statement of profit or
loss in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
The recoverable amounts 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.
Cash flows
The present value of the expected cash flows of each CGU or Group of CGU’s is determined by applying a suitable
discount rate. In measuring value-in-use, cash flow projections are based on:
• 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; and
• 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
• 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.

Impact of possible changes in key assumptions
The Directors and management have considered and assessed reasonably possible changes for other key assumptions
and have not identified any instances that could cause the carrying amount of the Group of CGUs above to exceed its
recoverable amount.
Growth rates
Five years of cash flows were included in the discounted cash flow model. The cash flow projections included specific
estimates for five years and a terminal growth rate thereafter. The terminal growth rate was determined based on
management’s estimate of the long-term compound annual EBITDA growth rate, consistent with industry trends.
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 wearables, video and
tactical products.
The growth rates reflect management’s estimates, as publicly published growth rates for this industry segment are
not readily available.
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.

(a) The tax effect of share-based payment awards granted is recognized in current income tax expense, except to the extent that the total tax
deductions are expected to exceed the cumulative remuneration expense. In this situation, the excess of the associated current or deferred tax
is recognized in equity and forms part of the other reserves in equity.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to determine the
amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable
profits, together with future tax planning strategies.
The Group has $85,567k (2022: $92,225k) of tax losses carried forward. These losses relate to subsidiaries that have a
history of losses and may not be used to offset taxable income elsewhere in the Group. The Group has recognized
deferred tax assets of $4,678k (FY22:$4,678k) on a portion of its US losses, the vast majority of which are available
for a period of twenty years.

recognized in relation to the timing of the client contract. The Group expects to recognize $28,158k (FY22: $25,385k) of contract liabilities
during the next 12 months following March 31, 2023, with the balance falling into FY24 and FY25. The increase in contract liabilities is due to the
higher proportion of subscription revenues recorded in FY23, and the ACV growth recorded in FY23.
(ii) On July 1, 2021, Catapult acquired SBG Sports Software Limited (SBG). Catapult agreed to acquire 100% of the entire issued share capital of

20.2 Share-base employee remuneration (continued)
Employee share plan
Catapult has continued to utilise its established Employee Share Plan (Employee Plan) to assist in the motivation,
retention and reward of executives and employees. The Employee Plan is designed to align the interests of employees
with the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity for eligible employees (including any person who is a
full-time or permanent part-time employee or officer, or director of Catapult or any related body corporate of
Catapult) to receive an equity interest in Catapult through the granting of Options, Performance Rights or other
Awards.
The Shares held by the Employee Plan Trustee are Restricted Securities such that the Employee Plan Trustee is not
able to dispose of them within 24 months of Official Quotation. The key terms of the Employee Plan are set out below:
Eligibility
Eligibility to participate in the Employee Plan and the number of Options, Performance Rights or other Awards offered
to each individual participant will be determined by the Board.
Grants
Under the rules of the Employee Plan, Options, Performance Rights and/or other Awards may be offered or granted
to eligible employees of Catapult or any related body corporate of Catapult from time to time, subject to the discretion
of the Board.
Terms and conditions
The Board has the discretion to set the terms and conditions (including conditions in relation to vesting, disposal
restrictions or forfeiture and any applicable exercise price) on which it will offer or grant Options, Performance Rights
or other Awards under the Employee Plan and may set different terms and conditions which apply to different
participants in the Employee Plan. The Board will determine the procedure for offering or granting Options,
Performance Rights and/or other Awards (including the form, terms and content of any offer, invitation or acceptance
procedure) in accordance with the rules of the Employee Plan.
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”).
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 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. During FY23, Catapult subscribed for
Nil shares (FY22: Nil shares) to the Catapult Employee Share Plan Trust. At March 31, 2023 the Employee Plan Trustee
holds 2,663,748 (2022: 6,748,763) shares on behalf of participants and for the purposes of the Employee Plan.

20.2 Share-base employee remuneration (continued)
Options, Performance Rights and other Awards which have not been exercised will be forfeited if the applicable
Vesting Conditions and any other conditions to exercise are not met during the prescribed vesting period or if they are
not exercised before the applicable expiry date. In addition, Options, Performance Rights and other Awards will lapse
if the participant deals with the Options, Performance Rights or other Awards in breach of the rules of the Employee
Plan or in the opinion of the Directors, a participant has acted fraudulently or with gross misconduct.
Options, Performance Rights and other Awards will not be quoted on the ASX. Catapult will apply for official quotation
of any Shares allotted under the Employee Plan unless the Board resolves otherwise.
The Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine that a participant is required to pay an exercise price to exercise
the Options, Performance Rights or other Awards offered or granted to that participant.
Grants of Options, Performance Rights or other Awards under the Employee Plan to a Director may be subject to the
approval of shareholders, to the extent required under the ASX Listing Rules.
Participants in the Employee Plan must not enter into transactions or arrangements, including by way of derivatives
or similar financial products, which limit the economic risk of holding unvested Awards.
Subject to the rules of the Employee Plan, the Board must not offer Options, Performance Rights or other Awards if
the total of the following exceeds 5% of the number of Shares on issue at the time of the offer:
•
•
•
•
The number of Shares which are the subject of the offer of Awards;
The number of Shares which are the subject of any outstanding offers of Awards;
The number of Shares issued during the previous 5 years under the Employee Plan, but not including existing
Shares transferred to a participant after having been acquired for that purpose; and
The number of Shares which would be issued under all outstanding Awards that have been granted but which
have not yet been exercised, terminated or expired, assuming all such Awards were exercised ignoring any
Vesting Conditions, but disregarding any offer made, or Award offered or issued or Share issued by way or as
a result of:
an offer that does not meet disclosure to investors because of section 708 or section 1012D of the
Corporations Act;
an offer made pursuant to a disclosure document or product disclosure statement; or
other offers that are excluded from the disclosure requirements under the Corporations Act.
The Board may impose restrictions on dealing in Shares or Awards which are acquired under the Employee Plan, for
example, by prohibiting them from being sold, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, charged, or otherwise disposed of or
encumbered for a period of time.
If the Board determines that for 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 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, at 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 reorganization, then the terms of the Awards for the participant will be changed to
the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules.
The Employee Plan also contains terms having regard to Australian law for dealing with the administration, variation
and termination of the Employee Plan.

NOTE 31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK
31.1 Risk management objectives and policies
The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Group’s financial assets and liabilities by
category are summarized in Note 19.1. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group’s risk management is coordinated in close cooperation with the Board of Directors and focuses on actively
securing the Group’s short to medium-term cash flows by minimizing exposure to financial markets. The Group does
not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes, nor does it write options. The most
significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.
31.2 Market risk analysis
The Group is exposed to currency risk resulting from its operating activities.
Foreign Currency Sensitivity
Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Group’s overseas sales and purchases, which are primarily
denominated in Australian dollars (AUD), Pound Sterling (GBP), Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY) and Chinese Yuan
(CNY)
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities which expose the Group to currency risk are disclosed
below. The amounts shown are those translated into US$ 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.
31.3 Credit risk analysis
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet
its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers. The Group’s maximum
exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of the financial assets recognized at the reporting date, as
summarized below:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK (CONTINUED)
31.3 Credit risk analysis (continued)
Receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to
measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract
assets. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on
shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and
forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.
Also, 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 amounts at March 31, 2023, analyzed by the length of time past due, are:
Not more than three (3) months
More than three (3) months but not more than six (6) months
More than six (6) months but not more than one (1) year

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.
As at March 31, 2023, the group had a cash and cash equivalent balance of US$16,225k (FY22: US$26,108k), of which
US$7,129k (FY22: $US7,346k) was deposited with Western Alliance Bank. Western Alliance Bank is a USA-domiciled
regional banking organization and a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation member. While the Bank operates in the
same market impacted by the recent US regional bank crisis, this has not adversely affected Catapult. As at May 3,
2023, Western Alliance Bank advised that it had not experienced unusual deposit flows. Its most recent update as of
May 11, 2023, reported deposit growth, and it reaffirmed its quarter-over-quarter deposit growth rate guidance. The
Group has assessed its credit risk related to cash on deposit with Western Alliance Bank, with no significant impact
noted at these times. Refer to the “Economic Risk” section of the Directors’ Report for potential risks associated with
the recent US regional bank crisis.
31.4 Liquidity risk
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 the running of the 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, Catapult Sports Inc, finalized the
execution of documentation for an upsized US$20,000k debt facility with Western Alliance Bank during December
2022. The multi-year facility has improved commercial terms on the previous facility and a maturity date of December
27, 2024. At March 31, 2023, the Group had drawn down funds of $15,747k from the debt facility (2022: US$Nil).

(recognized as share-based payments)
The valuation of the acquisition was finalized and included in the financial statements for the year-ended March 31,
2022.
Contingent consideration
As part of the purchase agreement with the previous owners of SBG, a contingent consideration component has been
agreed, with up to $5,000k of Catapult shares available subject to the achievement of key performance indicators
which are aligned to the performance metrics used for the Executive team’s annual STI award. The $5,000k
contingent consideration is split into two tranches of $2,500k, with the first tranche expected to be calculated in June
2023 (at the time that Catapult’s Executive STI percentages are agreed) and the second tranche expected to be
calculated in June 2024 (at the time that Catapult’s Executive STI percentages are calculated).
A portion of the contingent consideration that pertains to several key employees of SBG is being recognized as share-
based payments in the accounts, of which $931k has been recognized as at March 31, 2023. The fair value of the
remaining contingent consideration at March 31, 2023 is $428k, of which $271k has been recorded in non-current other
liabilities.
An estimate of the range of total outcomes has been performed, based on entity’s key performance indicators being
achieved, such as the number of Customers, Annualized Contract Value (“ACV”) and Multi Vertical Customers, with a
range determined between 80% - 100% which may result in an earn-out of between $4,000k - $5,000k.
The contingent consideration has been remeasured at the reporting date, 31 March 2023. Refer to Note 37 for further
details.
Deferred share consideration
During the year ended March 31, 2023, Catapult issued 12,133,120 shares with a total value of $14,547K as part of the
deferred share consideration due in respect of the acquisition of SBG Sports Software Limited.

NOTE 37. FAIR VALUE
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position 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.
The following table presents a reconciliation of recurring fair value measurements for financial liability categorized
within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:

All financial instruments for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows:
•
•
•
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers
have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Contingent consideration in relation to the SBG acquisition was classified as a financial liability measured at fair value
at the date of acquisition and subsequently remeasured at the reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in
profit or loss. The Group has adopted the deterministic payout approach associated with each possible outcome to
determine the fair value of the contingent consideration at the date of acquisition. The significant unobservable inputs
adopted by the Group were based on a combination of the entity’s key performance indicators being achieved, such
as the number of Customers, Annualized Contract Value (“ACV”) and Multi Vertical Customers with a range
determined between 80% - 100% and the probability of achieving each of the possible outcomes assessed. As at
March 31, 2023, the group has remeasured the fair value of the contingent consideration.
Based on the sensitivity analysis performed, a 20% increase/decrease in the share price of the company would have
the following impact on deferred consideration as at March 31, 2023:
•
Increase of 20% would increase the total contingent consideration liability by $86k to $514k.
•
Decrease of 20% would decrease the total contingent consideration liability by $86k to $342k.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: a. Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2023 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and b. Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 1. Going concern basis of preparation of financial statements Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter As disclosed in Note 2 of the financial report the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Group’s earnings and cash flow forecasts indicate that to pay its debts as and when they fall due the Group requires access to the long-term debt facility with Western Alliance Bank, as disclosed in Note 19.2. Access to the loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with the prescribed financial covenant as detailed in Notes 2 and 19.2. On 10 May 2023, the debt covenant hurdles under the facility were agreed for the period 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2024. As disclosed in Note 31.3 of the financial report Western Alliance Bank is a USA domiciled regional banking organisation and a participant in an industry that has been subject to financial institution closures and instability. As at the date of this report, the Group has drawn down all available funds under the facility and is holding these amounts as cash on hand. Assessing the appropriateness of the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis was considered a key audit matter due to the complex judgements required in assessing the Group’s forecast cashflows, availability of sufficient funding facilities and forecast covenant compliance. These assumptions are affected by future market and/or economic conditions. Our audit procedures included but were not limited to the following: • Analysing and challenging the key assumptions in the Group’s cash flow forecasts, such as cash inflows from expected subscription revenue growth and cash outflows relating to employee expenses, marketing and further development of the Group’s technology. • Assessing the Group’s access to the long-term funding facility having regard to the limit of the facility disclosed in Note 19.2 and compliance with the relevant financial covenant in the forecast period. • Comparing the inputs and assumptions in the cash flow forecasts to other information used to prepare the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. • Assessing the possible mitigating actions identified by the Group in the event that actual cash flows are below forecast. • Performing sensitivity analysis to ascertain the extent of changes in those assumptions which either individually or collectively would materially impact the determination of the appropriateness of the going concern assumption. • Holding a discussion with an Authorised Representative of Western Alliance Bank in respect of the existing long-term debt facility and USA banking conditions, and sighting documentary evidence of the approval of the financial covenant for the period of 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2024. • Enquiring of management as to whether they are aware of any events or conditions through to the date of this report that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. • Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s going concern basis of preparation disclosures within the financial statements.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 2. Revenue recognition and contract liabilities Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter The Group has the following key revenue streams: Subscription and service revenue Capital revenue As disclosed in Note 7 to the financial report, the Group’s revenue is primarily generated from subscription and service revenue from customers for the provision of access to software services, which may also contain the provision of associated hardware. The Group also generates other revenues through the sale of hardware video equipment which is recognised as capital revenue. The Group’s subscription and service revenues are accounted for as service contracts and the associated revenue is recognised over time. These contracts may be longer than 12 months in duration. Capital revenue is accounted for at a point in time, as and when the risks and rewards associated with the goods are transferred to the customer. Revenue recognition for these key revenue streams was considered a key audit matter due to the complexity and judgement contained in both short-term and long-term contracts involving both Software as a Service (“SaaS”) and multi element arrangements. The revenue recognition for such arrangements is complex and involves management judgement when identifying performance obligations within the agreements and allocating revenue to each performance obligation identified. Our audit procedures included the following: Assessing whether the revenue recognition policy applied by the Group to the terms and conditions of the revenue transactions was in accordance with AASB 15 Revenues from Contracts with Customers. Assessing whether the Group’s subscription agreement terms and conditions met the definition of service contracts so to recognise revenue over time. Testing the operating effectiveness of key controls over the capture, timing of revenue recognition and measurement of revenue transactions in relation to subscription and service revenue. For a sample of subscription and service revenue transactions, testing the revenue recognised together with the associated contract liability based on the terms of the subscription and service agreement. Assessing whether a significant financing component was identified on long-term contracts in relation to subscription and service revenue and considered whether any adjustment was required for those identified significant financing components. Performing data correlation analysis between the initial subscription and service contract liability to accounts receivable and cash, and between the contract liability and revenue. This included performing testing to supporting cash receipts for a sample of revenue transactions. For a sample of capital revenue transactions, we tested invoices to proof of delivery and receipt of cash. Evaluating the adequacy of the revenue recognition policy disclosures contained in Note 4.5.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 3. Capitalisation of development costs Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter As disclosed in Note 15 to the financial report the Group capitalises costs related to the internal development of software products. The carrying value of capitalised internally developed software at 31 March 2023 totalled US$36.5m. The accounting for capitalised software development involves management judgement, including: considering technical and commercial feasibility; the Group’s intention and ability to complete the intangible asset; future economic benefits to be generated by the asset; the ability of the Group to measure the costs reliably; and determining the useful lives for capitalised development costs. In addition, determining whether there is any indication of impairment of the carrying value of capitalised development costs requires judgement in making assumptions which are affected by future market or economic developments. This was considered a key audit matter given the significant judgement required in accounting for software development costs, the value of these assets relative to total assets, the rapid technological and economic changes in the software industry and the specific Australian Accounting Standards criteria that have to be met to enable costs incurred to be capitalised. Our audit procedures included the following: Assessing the eligibility of the development costs for capitalisation as an intangible asset in accordance with AASB 138 Intangible Assets. Selecting a sample of capitalised development costs by project and assessing whether the nature of the projects and costs incurred were supported by underlying evidence such as employee time sheets, employee contracts and the appropriate allocation of costs to the projects. Enquiring of project managers and developers to understand development activities undertaken and the feasibility of completion, and reviewing project plan approvals and reporting. Assessing whether the timing and amortisation rates used were appropriate. Considering whether there were any indicators of impairment, including project milestone assessments by management. Evaluating the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 15 to the financial report. Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information that will be included in the Company’s 2023 annual report other than the financial report, comprising the financial statements, notes to the financial statements, directors declaration and our auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the directors’ report that is to be included in the 2023 annual report, prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the annual report after the date of this auditor’s report. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Audit of the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 21 to 32 of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2023. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Catapult Group International Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2023, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
