story
story

At Toys”R”Us,  
we believe that toys have the 
power to change lives. Play enables 
children to develop their imagination, 
collaborate, problem solve, explore, create  
or simply express themselves spontaneously.

Our mission at Toys”R”Us is to encourage  
children to engage with as many forms of  
play as we possibly can.

We have relaunched in 2019, as a new  
company, to bring play back into the  
lives of children of all ages.

Chair’s Letter

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

As Chair and on behalf of the Board  
of Directors, it is my pleasure to present  
the 2022 Annual Report for Toys“R”Us  
ANZ Limited (ASX:TOY) (“the Company”),  
a company with a bright future in a  
rapidly evolving online retail industry.

At Toys”R”Us, we believe that toys have  
the power to change lives. Playing with  
toys empowers children to develop their 
imagination, collaborate, problem solve, 
explore and create. As licensee of the  
world’s most trusted children and  
baby brand, we are proud to play  
our part in encouraging children  
to express themselves fully  
and engage with play  
in all its forms.

Annual Report 2022

Since relaunching in 2019, the Company has 
demonstrated its capacity to deliver growth 
by pursuing penetration of the large and 
attractive toy, baby and hobby markets in  
all licensed regions. According to research 
firm IBISWorld, toy, game and hobby retailing 
in Australia is a billion-dollar industry 
projected to grow strongly in the coming 
years, with baby products adding materially 
to this addressable market. We believe we  
are taking on this opportunity at the right 
time equipped with the right strategy, plan 
and resources. Over the course of FY22, our 
team has refined Toys“R”Us ANZ into a much 
stronger business, with financial stability, 
improving scale, strengthened leadership  
and market-leading capabilities.

$26m$26m

In FY22 our e-commerce direct-to-
consumer (B2C) business grew its 
revenue by 98% to $26 million

During the year, we remained focused on our 
growth strategy which deliberately plays to 
our competitive advantages. As custodian of 
the world’s most loved and trusted children 
and baby brands, Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us, 
we are well-placed to deliver conversion and 
growth in active customers by leveraging our 
strong market recognition. Our product range 
is expansive, specialising in toys, babies  
and hobbies, and we deliver an unbroken 
demographic journey – addressing the needs 
of families from newborns and toddlers 
through to teenagers and adults.

Our business model is future-focused  
by design. We are pursuing a digital-first 
strategy which aligns with how shoppers  
are and will increasingly shop in the future. 
This affords us a relatively low cost of doing 
business, especially so as we can now  
enjoy the benefits of our centralised  
efficient operations which incorporate  
state-of-the-art logistics technologies.

Early in FY22, the Company announced that 
WHP, owner of the Toys”R”Us brand globally, 
had granted Toys”R”Us ANZ a 45 year license 
to expand by digitally relaunching the 
Toys”R”Us and Babies”R”Us brands in the 
United Kingdom. As a toy market, the UK is 
more than 3 times larger than Australia and 
New Zealand. It is a market that Toys“R”Us 
knows well, having achieved annual UK sales 
revenue of £421 million (~A$740 million) in  
2016 prior to closing in late 2017.

We are well-advanced in delivering our plan 
to expand in the UK. With early feedback from 
our soft launch highly encouraging, we have 
secured all key logistics, delivery and vendor 
partnerships and are fully prepared for a 
productive holiday season. Many thanks  
for this progress must go to our UK senior 
executive team who joined the business  
over the course of FY22.

Our nascent UK expansion complements  
our activities in the ANZ region. In FY22 our 
e-commerce direct-to-consumer (B2C) business 
grew its revenue by 98% to $26 million,  
while our B2B segment, led by the Mittoni IT 
importing and distribution business, delivered 
annual revenue growth of 28% to $11.1 million 
while more than doubling segment EBITDA to 
$1.3 million. We remain committed to growing 
both the B2C and B2B sides of our business, 
with both arms benefiting from TOY’s core 
infrastructure and capabilities.

Throughout the last financial year, Toys“R”Us 
ANZ’s management, employees and industry 
partners have gone above and beyond to 
grasp opportunities to grow through what has 
been a challenging operating environment for 
online retail businesses. I would like to thank 
the team for their ongoing dedication, and in 
particular our CEO Louis Mittoni for leading 
the successful implementation of our growth 
strategy. I would also like to thank Yehuda 
Shmidman, board observer on the Company’s 
board, and Chair and CEO of WHP and  
Global license holder Toys”R”Us Kids for his 
sage guidance as we steer the Toys”R”Us  
and Babies”R”Us brands into their next phase  
of growth.

I would also like to thank my fellow  
Board members and shareholders for their 
commitment and support over the year.  
As Chair of Toys”R”Us ANZ, I commit to  
you that your Company and its board of 
directors will work to deliver on its potential 
in 2023 and beyond. 

Kevin A Moore FAICD, MCIM 
Chair of the Board

CeO’s Letter 
CeO’s Letter 

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Welcome to the 2022 Annual Report  
for Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited (ASX:TOY)  
(“the Company”). In the year to 31 July 2022 
(FY22), our Company strengthened its 
position as an emerging force in digital-first 
e-commerce direct-to-consumer retail, 
focusing on category sectors based around 
families and children.

In FY22, Toys“R”Us ANZ delivered results that 
reflected significant and sustained growth as 
we executed our strategy to enrich the lives of 
children and parents. In many ways it was a 
year of two halves, as the Company benefited 
from trading conditions which were seasonally 
strong in the first half but which were impacted 
by our pausing of shipments in February 2022 
and by macroeconomic pressure in the 
second half.

Despite the well-documented challenges 
flowing from mixed Australian consumer 
confidence, the war in Ukraine and its 
attendant supply chain disruptions and 
expectations of higher interest rates, we 
remain well-placed to outperform in this 
environment by offering compelling value  
to shoppers through our world-class 
e-commerce platform. 

The performance of our direct-to-consumer 
(B2C) business over the year is testament  
to the value that Toys“R”Us ANZ offers  
to consumers. Our three shopper-facing 
e-commerce pillars – Toys“R”Us, Babies“R”Us 
and Hobby Warehouse – experienced strong 
growth in FY22, driving segment revenue  
+98% year-on-year (YoY) to $26.0 million.

04

TOys“R”Us ANZ LimiTed 
TOys“R”Us ANZ LimiTed 
Annual Report 2022
Annual Report 2022

Several of our key success metrics show  
that our B2C business is heading in the right 
direction. In Q4 of FY22, the average value  
of orders taken through the Toys“R”Us 
e-commerce website grew by 10% YoY to 
$133.50. The value of this metric has now  
been growing steadily for the past two  
and a half years.

Our customer acquisition – the lifeblood  
of any online retail business – continues to 
provide strong returns. In FY22, the Company’s 
total active customers across all e-commerce 
channels increased by 29% YoY to 188k.  
Our engagement with these customers 
continues to improve, with higher average 
click-ad conversion rates contributing to 
improved return on marketing investment  
and customer conversion.

Our business-to-business (B2B) business 
continues to perform and complement our  
B2C operations very well, reflecting growth  
in demand for our IT products that support 
performance-oriented businesses and  
gaming enthusiasts, and expanding revenue 
by 28% during the year to $11.1 million.  
We were particularly proud to increase our 
profitability in this area, growing B2B segment 
EBITDA by 110% vs FY21 to $1.3 million.

Underpinning all of this organic growth  
are our deliberate efforts to implement the 
back-end infrastructure and technology that 
will empower us to gain global scale. A key 
factor in this was our July 2021 commissioning 
of the Company’s Autonomous Mobile  
Robot (AMR) e-commerce logistics centre in 
Dandenong South, Victoria. These facilities 
have increased the capacity and efficiency of 
the Company’s storage, picking and logistics 
processes. Of equal significance is the 
completion of our new 19,650m2 warehouse 
facility in Clayton, Victoria, providing almost 
4x the size of the previous interim facility and 
empowering Toys“R”Us to meet its ambitious 
growth plans over the next several years.

We are excited to implement our plans  
to accelerate and scale our Toys“R”Us, 
Babies“R”Us and Hobby Warehouse 
operations in Australia, and relaunch 
Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us in the United 
Kingdom. We are now ready to scale up in 
the UK, having carefully built the operational 
capability to meet shoppers’ expectations 
and demand from market launch right 
through to the peak trading season. 

The UK has one of the most advanced 
e-commerce markets in Europe and the total 
addressable market for toys and games for 
2020 was £3.3 billion, representing the largest 

toy market in Europe and the fourth largest 
globally. The opportunity in the Babies“R”Us 
addressable market is similar, if not greater, 
in its strategic significance. 

In July 2022 we were pleased to arrange  
a senior term loan facility of up to A$15 million 
to support and advance the Company’s 
planned entry into the UK market and 
e-commerce launch. We were encouraged  
by the support we received in finalising the 
loan facility and thank our existing and 
incoming investors for the confidence they 
have provided. 

With our strategy and team in place and 
funding secured, the Company enters FY23 
with a strong platform for growth as we 
reintroduce one of the world’s best-loved 
children’s brands to Australia and the UK.  
We maintain a positive outlook for continued 
growth in revenue and customer engagement, 
with healthy momentum developing through 
strategic initiatives to drive the Company 
towards its medium-term goal of 5% market 
share penetration in the toys, baby and 
hobby markets in all licensed regions.

I would like to sincerely thank our dedicated 
employees from warehouse, customer 
experience, buying and sales through to 
finance, administration and senior leadership 
in Australia and the UK. Their hard work, 
passion and commitment to our mission is 
empowering us to build a great company. 
Thank you to Lian Yu our COO, Wei Si our  
CFO and Company Secretary, Kevin Moore  
our Chair and my fellow Board Directors  
for their cohesive support throughout an 
incredible year.

I’d like to thank Yehuda Shmidman, Chair  
and CEO of WHP Global, for his vision and 
drive, along with the entire WHP Global and 
Tru Kids Inc teams for their valuable insights 
and support.

I’d also like to thank you, our shareholders,  
for your support and continued belief in our 
vision. We will continue our focus on executing  
our strategy to achieve our goals and drive 
sustainable long-term value and growth for 
your Company.

Yours sincerely

Louis Mittoni 
Managing Director and CEO

Annual Report 2022

Operating review
Growth in customer activity and revenue 

During FY22, Toys“R”Us achieved significant and sustained growth as the Group delivered into trading 
conditions which were seasonally strong in the first half and which were impacted by the pausing of 
shipments in February 2022 and by macroeconomic pressure on trading conditions in the second half.  
The pause allowed completion of extensive changes to key business systems and migration of the 
Company’s accounting and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.

The Company achieved the following sales results through its Toys“R”Us Australian e-commerce website:

•  Average order value (AOV) of $133.50 for Q4 FY22;

•  Total number of all B2C active e-commerce customers increased to 188k as at end of July, a growth  

of 30% YoY; and

•  Cost of customer acquisition (CAC) for the Toys“R”Us e-commerce website was $12.45 for H2 FY22, 

representing an increase from the CAC of $10.10 achieved in H1 FY22.

The Company is pleased to have delivered organic growth against a backdrop of decreased Australian toy 
industry sales between October 2021 and March 2022, having overcome the effects of elevated COVID-19 
cases across Australia and mixed Australian consumer confidence.

The FY22 revenue growth was led by significant expansion in the Company’s direct-to-consumer (B2C) 
business, where revenue increased by 98% YoY to $26.0 million. B2B segment revenue from continuing 
operations increased by 28% YoY to $11.1 million. 

The primary driver of the Company’s statutory net loss after tax was the recognition of a goodwill 
impairment charge valued at $14.5 million relating to the B2C segment.

United Kingdom Expansion on Track

On 27 October 2021, TOY and WHP Global announced a landmark long-term exclusive license agreement  
for Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited to operate digital and physical retail commerce for Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us 
in the United Kingdom.

Following commencement of the license, taking effect mid-December 2021, the Company announced its 
senior executive team located in the UK, including highly experienced Marketing and eCommerce Director 
Mike Coogan and Buying Director Diane Lee. The Company strengthened this team further in 2022, 
welcoming an additional eight personnel including senior buyers, head of marketing and key support 
team members.

In Q3 FY22, the Company appointed third-party logistics (3PL) specialist Amethyst Group as its warehouse 
and logistics provider in the UK. Based in Warwickshire, UK, Amethyst is a specialist warehousing and 
distribution business offering a range of 3PL services to manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors, 
retailers and online clients. Amethyst is one of the UK’s largest third-party provider of warehousing and 
distribution to the toy industry, delivering a cost-efficient supply chain with security and control over stock.

The Company’s expansion to the UK represents a significant near-term growth opportunity for Toys“R”Us. 
The online share of UK toy sales grew to 60% in 2021, reinforcing that not only is the UK one of the most 
advanced e-commerce markets in Europe, but this advantage is significantly more pronounced in the 
toy industry.

With the key UK team in place, the Company entered the UK market, with a soft e-commerce launch in the 
last week of September 2022. The unannounced soft launch generated unprompted media coverage, with 
approximately 10-fold higher visitor volumes in comparison to peak Australian e-commerce website users.  
A full media supported re-launch is scheduled in early October to coincide with the start of the toy buying 
season. This is in line with the capital light, digital-first market entry strategy announced earlier this year, 
with the objective of providing its e-commerce offering from fourth quarter of CY22, building to deliver 
broader e-commerce services to UK shoppers for the holiday and new year season in late 2022.

Directors’ Report

Minimisation of Supply Chain Disruptions

Global supply chain disruptions continued to affect suppliers and Australian industries throughout the 
period, causing shortages of raw materials, labour and increased logistics delays and costs. The Company 
met these challenges by strategically planning for extended lead times and collaborating closely with 
vendor partners to ensure adequate inventory levels.

The Company pre-empted and proactively coordinated buying to mitigate supply disruptions in early 2021 
and worked to expand its supply network. Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us added approximately 30 new brands 
between August 2021 and January 2022, providing increased category coverage and product redundancy. 
Selected ranges have also been forecast and pre-ordered in January 2022 for supply in advance of the 
seasonal peak period in November 2022.

Further to the above inventory planning strategies employed during the year, TOY continues to plan 
gradual increases in factory-direct commitments that help manage and ameliorate supply risks and 
reduce corresponding landed costs, supporting TOY’s growth ambitions for the next several years.

The Company also eliminated its reliance on pallet availability and their associated shortage in November 
2021 by shifting to a dispatch model that conveys B2C consignments and collections with its Australia Post 
partnership. Further to this operational change, TOY plans to reactivate same-day delivery options for 
customers located in specific Victorian delivery zones in coming months.

The Company is very pleased to report that COVID-19 has had negligible direct impact to team member 
health across the organisation to date through informed management and implementation of split 
warehouse shifts, diligent use of protective equipment by employees, and separation of team amenities 
where possible to minimise shared use.

Business System Upgrade and Migration

TOY achieved its objective, as set out at the 2021 AGM, to refine its technologies and business systems, 
completing the migration of its accounting and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in February 
2022. Toys“R”Us paused shipments between 28 January 2022 to 14 February 2022 to allow for extensive 
system changes to be undertaken.

The new ERP platform is cloud-based and will enable Toys“R”Us to better integrate Warehouse 
Management Systems (WMS), automated robotic facilities, multi-tenant international operations,  
multi-currency and tax jurisdictions necessary for continued growth internationally. Once fully 
implemented, the ERP will provide improved order processing efficiency, scalability, and will enable 
enhanced analytics to expedite and augment management decisions.

Victoria, Australia E-Commerce Distribution Centre and Headquarters

On 20 July 2021, Toys“R”Us announced that it had entered into an agreement to lease a purpose built, 
state-of-the-art 19,650 m2 warehouse facility located in the Victorian City of Monash. The new premises, 
that will accommodate the Company’s short-term requirements for warehousing and office space, were 
completed in September 2022. 

The new warehouse and office facilities will enable Toys“R”Us to consolidate multiple sites to a single 
premises, scale its e-commerce operations considerably, meet increased demand, improve cost efficiencies 
and deliver higher levels of customer service and experiences to shoppers. The new warehouse is almost  
4x the size of the previous interim facility and will empower Toys“R”Us to meet its ambitious growth plans 
over the next several years. The Company also expects to realise cost savings having secured the long-term 
lease prior to the recent emergence of construction material and service cost increases. 

Outlook and Strategic Plan

The Company continues to pursue its aspirations of driving top line growth and deploying capital efficiently 
to achieve its medium-term goal of 5% market share penetration in the toys, baby and hobby markets in all 
licensed regions.

08

Toys “R” Us ANZ Limited 
Annual Report 2022

The Company plans to accelerate and scale Toys“R”Us, Babies“R”Us and Hobby Warehouse operations in 
Australia, and relaunch Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us in the UK in late CY22 with sufficient capability to meet 
shopper demand during the peak trading season.

The Company continues to review strategic options to expand and realise its growth ambitions by 
identifying suitable business opportunities in addition to the growth initiatives reported above.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
New UK license agreement

On 27 October 2021, the Company announced that it had signed a landmark long-term exclusive license 
agreement to run digital and physical retail commerce for Toys“R”Us® and Babies“R”Us® in the United Kingdom. 
This highly significant milestone is an acknowledgement of the Company’s commitment to the brands and 
successful relaunch in Australia of Toys“R”Us® and Babies“R”Us®, and a testament to the collaborative 
working relationship with worldwide brand owner WHP Global. 

The license took effect in mid-December 2021 and the Company is planning a capital light, digital-first, 
market entry strategy with the objective of providing its e-commerce offering from mid CY22, building to 
deliver broader e-commerce services to UK shoppers for the holiday and new year season in late 2022. 

The Company issued 13,502,326 shares during the year as follows:

Secured loan facility

In July 2022, the Company obtained a three-year secured loan facility of $15 million to support working 
capital and capital expenditure requirements for the Company’s planned entry into the UK market and 
e-commerce launch, including the acquisition of inventory. The loan is repayable at the end of July 2025 
and as at the balance sheet date, the Group had utilised $10 million of the total facility limit and complied 
with the loan covenant requirements.

Other than the above matters, no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group occurred 
during the year ended 31 July 2022.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
The Company has entered into to an arrangement with the landlord on 20 July 2021 for lease of office  
and warehouse space in Clayton, Victoria for a period of ten years (with an option to extend for a further 
two terms of five years each) with an objective to consolidate all of its office and warehouse operations. 
The lease is expected to commence in October 2022, once ancillary works are completed by the landlord. 
The arrangement includes a lease incentive of $10.90 million, to be offset proportionally against monthly 
rental payments over the initial period of lease. The arrangement will result in recognition of right-of-use 
asset of $12.30 million and an equivalent lease liability upon commencement of the lease.

No other matters or circumstance has arisen since 31 July 2022 that has significantly affected, or may 
significantly affect, the Group’s operations, the results of these operations, or the Group’s state of affairs  
in future years.

Remuneration policy for directors and executives

The objective of the Toys“R”Us ANZ remuneration policy is to attract, retain and motivate the people required 
to sustainably manage and grow the business. Executive remuneration packages include a balance of fixed 
remuneration, short term cash incentives and long-term equity incentives. The framework endeavours to 
align executive reward with market conditions and shareholders’ interests.

Principles of Compensation

The Remuneration & Nomination Committee makes specific recommendations to the Board on compensation 
packages and other terms of employment for directors and other senior executives. The Board then considers 
these recommendations and makes appropriate determinations, with compensation packages set at a level 
that is intended to attract and retain directors and executives capable of managing the consolidated entity’s 
diverse operations.

Compensation of the senior executives is reviewed on an annual basis by the Remuneration & Nomination 
Committee having regard to personal and corporate performance and relevant comparative information. 
Compensation for senior executives comprises both fixed compensation and an “at risk” component.  
The “at risk” component comprises a short-term incentive payment based on a combination of the 
company’s results and individual performance levels, and a long-term incentive component pursuant  
to the Employee Incentive Plan.

The payment of short-term incentives is dependent on the achievement of operating and financial targets 
set at the beginning of each year and assessed on an annual basis by the Board.

Compensation and other terms of employment for senior executives are formalised in service agreements.

The Group’s executive remuneration is directly related to the performance of the Group through the linking 
of short and long-term incentives to certain financial performance measures. These performance measures, 
as described below, are selected by the Board of Directors and considered relevant to the management of 
the operations of the Group and to effectively align the long-term interests of the directors, executives and 
shareholders. The performance conditions are assessed periodically by the Remuneration & Nomination 
Committee to ensure they remain relevant.

Directors’ Report 

(Cont.)

Compensation and company performance

Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited’s Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) has been  
the key performance measure for the Company’s incentive plan for executives, linked to individual key 
performance objectives. 

Components of Compensation

Fixed Compensation

The terms of employment for all executive management contain a fixed compensation component, which is 
expressed in local currency. This fixed component is set in accordance with the market rate for a comparable 
role by reference to appropriate external benchmark information and having regard to an individual’s 
responsibilities, performance, qualifications, experience and location. An executive’s compensation is also 
reviewed on promotion.

Fixed compensation includes contributions to superannuation and pension plans in accordance with relevant 
legislation or as contractually required. Fixed compensation is structured as a total employment cost 
package which may be delivered to the executive as a mix of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits  
at the executive’s discretion. There are no guaranteed pay increases in any senior executive’s contract.

Benefits for termination of employment may be payable subject to the circumstances of the termination 
and within the terms of the employment contract.

At risk Compensation

Short-Term Incentives

•  The Short-Term Incentive (STI) plan is linked to specific targets (predominantly financial) with the 

opportunity to earn incentives based on a percentage of fixed compensation. 

•  Performance measurements have been applied to each component of STI and accordingly, entitlements 
were determined with consideration to the executive’s level and area of responsibility. Performance 
against the objectives was determined and incentives and entitlements assessed against the audited 
financial results.

Directors’ Report 

(Cont.)

Unissued shares
As at the date of this report and at the reporting date, there were 22,021,712 unissued ordinary shares  
under options. The number of options and rights over ordinary shares in the Company held during and after 
the end of the financial year by each director of Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited and each of the key management 
personnel (KMP) of the Group, including their related entities, are set out in the remuneration report.

Shares issued on the exercise of options
During the financial year, there were no employees or executives that exercised options to acquire ordinary 
shares in the Company.

Indemnity of and insurance of officers
The Company has indemnified the directors and executives of the Company for costs incurred, in their 
capacity as a director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there  
is a lack of good faith.

During the financial year the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and 
executives of the Company and of any related body corporate against a liability to the extent permitted  
by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability 
and the amount of the premium.

Indemnity and insurance of auditor
To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditors, RSM Australia Partners, 
as a part of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an 
unspecified amount), other than a loss arising from RSM Australia Partners negligent, wrongful or wilful acts 
or omissions. No payment has been made to indemnify RSM Australia Partners during the financial year or 
up to the date of this report.

Proceedings on behalf of the Company
No person has applied to the Court under section 327 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 
for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.

Non-audit services
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the 
auditor are outlined in Note 30 to the financial statements. The directors are satisfied that the provision  
of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf)  
is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. 

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 30 to the financial statements do not 
compromise the external auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Audit & Risk Committee, 
for the following reasons:

•  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity 

and objectivity of the auditor; and

•  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code 
of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & 
Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management 
or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing 
economic risks and rewards.

Toys “R” Us ANZ Limited 
Annual Report 2022

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

for the year ended 31 July 2022

NOTE 1: Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in 
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with 
other requirements of the law. The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements  
of the Group.

For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements the Company is a for profit entity.

Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards (AASB). Compliance with Australian 
Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

Basis of preparation

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for derivative financial 
instruments that have been measured at fair value. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration 
given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise stated. 

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 31.

Going concern basis of accounting

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of 
normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the payment of liabilities in the normal course 
of business.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group has incurred a loss from continuing operations of 
$24.86 million and cash outflows from operating activities of $10.90 million for the year ended 31 July 2022. 

The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Group will continue as a going concern  
and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after 
consideration of the following factors: 

•  The Group holds cash and cash equivalents of $12.54 million as at 31 July 2022; 

•  The Group has an undrawn facility of $5 million on the term loan to support its working capital  

and capital expenditure requirements; and 

•  The budget and cashflow forecast prepared by the Group for the twelve-month period from the date  
of signing the financial statements, which are based on the directors’ estimates and assumptions  
about certain economic factors, and the operating and trading performance of the Group, support the 
directors’ assertion, and suggest that the Group has cash and other financial resources sufficient to 
support its operations for the relevant period. 

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities 
controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries), together referred to as “the Group” in these financial statements. 
Control is achieved when the Company: 

•  Has the power over the investee;

• 

is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

•  has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

29

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

(Cont.)

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that 
there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Consolidation of  
a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company 
losses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of 
during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 
from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the 
Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to  
the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling 
interest having a deficit balance. 

Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and 
non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in 
equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment 
retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting 
policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intra-Group assets and liabilities, equity, income and expenses and cash flows relating to transactions 
between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated 
unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of 
subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented  
is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’).  
The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing 
their performance.

Foreign currency translation

(i)  Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency  
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars, which is Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii)  Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates 
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement 
of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in equity 
as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges. 

Translation differences on non-monetary items, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss,  
are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. 

30

Toys “R” Us ANZ Limited 
Annual Report 2022

NOTE 1: Significant accounting policies (Cont.)
Foreign currency translation (Cont.)

(iii)  Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities, (none of which has the currency of a 
hyperinflationary economy), that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency,  
are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

•  assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date  

of that balance sheet;

• 

income and expenses for each profit or loss presented are translated at the rates prevailing on the 
transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

•  all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. 

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, 
and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken  
to equity. When a foreign operation is sold or borrowings repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange 
differences are recognised in the profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets  
and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is 
expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods to a customer. Revenue arises mainly from the 
sale of goods to customers.

To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-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.

(i)  Sale of Goods

The Group generates the majority of its revenue from the sales of goods. Sale of goods is recognised when 
the customer obtains control of the goods. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised on delivery of goods 
to the customer.

(ii)  Government Grants

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit and loss over the period necessary 
to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Government payments received in 
relation to COVID-19 have been recognised under other income.

(iii)  Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

31

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

(Cont.)

Income tax

(i)  Current tax

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

(ii)  Deferred tax

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

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

•  When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint 

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

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

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

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

(iii)  Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised 
directly in equity.

(iv)  Tax Losses

A deferred tax asset in respect to tax losses is only recognised where there is a reasonable certainty that 
future taxable profits will be guaranteed. Management assesses continuity of ownership test and same 
business test hurdles bi-annually.

(v)  Tax Consolidation

The company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated Group  
under Australian taxation law. Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated Group.  
Tax expense/revenue, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences  
of the members of the tax-consolidated Group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the 
members of the tax-consolidated Group using the “separate taxpayer within Group” approach by reference 
to the carrying amounts in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying 
under tax consolidation.

Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated Group, 
amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable by the company and each member of the Group in 
relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between the parent entity and the other members 
of the tax-consolidated Group in accordance with the arrangement. Further information about the tax 
funding arrangement is detailed in Note 8 to the financial statements.

Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business, the operations and cash flows of which 
can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:

• 

• 

• 

represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;

is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical 
area of operations; or 

is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sell.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria  
to be classified as held-for-sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation,  
the comparative statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is re-presented as if the 
operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

The assets or disposal group are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs 
to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group, is first allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets 
and liabilities on a pro-rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets and 
deferred tax assets which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s other accounting policies. 
Gains or losses on disposal are recognised in profit or loss.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and  
non-current classification. 

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed 
in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be 
realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted 
from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other 
assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group’s normal operating 
cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting 
period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after 
the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

(Cont.)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits at call with financial institutions, other short-term, 
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known 
amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown 
within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. 

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method less any allowances for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally 
due for settlement within 30-60 days. The Group has applied the simplified approach to measure expected 
credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade 
receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost less any allowance for expected credit losses.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned to individual items 
of stock on the basis of weighted average costs. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, 
import duties and other taxes. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and 
discounts received or receivable. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the carrying 
value of inventory and costs necessary to make the sale. 

Stock write downs occur where the estimated selling price of stock, in the ordinary course of business, is less 
than the estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Excess stock levels are reviewed 
on a regular basis, where discussions with the sales teams are undertaken. 

Derivative financial instruments 

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk, 
including forward contracts comprising foreign exchange forward contracts and options. Further details  
of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in Note 26 to the financial statements. 

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are 
subsequently re-measured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised 
in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument,  
in which event, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. 
The Group designates certain derivatives as either hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities 
or firm commitments (fair value hedges), or hedges of highly probable forecast transactions or hedges of 
foreign currency risk of firm commitments (cash flow hedges).

The fair value of hedging derivatives is classified as a current asset or current liability if the remaining 
maturity of the hedge relationship is less than 12 months and as a non-current asset or a non-current liability 
if the remaining maturity of the hedge relationship is more than 12 months.

NOTE 1: Significant accounting policies (Cont.)
Financial assets

(i)  Recognition and derecognition

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

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

(ii)  Classification and initial measurement of financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured 
at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value 
adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

(iii)  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: 

• 

• 

financial assets at amortised cost; and

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).

Classifications are determined by both:

•  The entity’s business model for managing the financial asset; and

•  The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets

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

(iv)  Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not 
designated as FVPL): 

• 

• 

they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its 
contractual cash flows; and

the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal 
and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 
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.

(v)  Impairment of financial assets

AASB 9’s impairment model uses more forward-looking information to recognize expected credit losses –  
the ‘expected credit losses (ECL) model’. The application of the new impairment model depends on whether 
there has been a significant increase in credit risk. 

The Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected 
credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect 
the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

35

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

(Cont.)

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

• 

• 

financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition  
or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’); and

financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition  
and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).

‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. 
‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ 
are recognised for the second category.

Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit 
losses over the expected life of the financial instrument. 

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment 
over the shorter of its expected useful life and the lease term. Estimates of remaining useful lives are made 
on a regular basis for all assets, with annual reassessments for major items.

The cost of improvements to or on leasehold properties is amortised over the estimated useful life of the 
improvement to the Group. The expected useful lives are as follows:

Plant and equipment: 

2.5-10 years

Leasehold improvements: 

3-5 Years

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic 
benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds 
are taken to profit or loss. 

Right-of-use Assets

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured  
at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for, as applicable, any lease 
payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial  
direct costs incurred and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected  
to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the 
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of 
the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of-use 
assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term 
leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are 
expensed to profit and loss as incurred.

36

Annual Report 2022

NOTE 1: Significant accounting policies (Cont.)
Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost 
of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. 
Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation  
and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised 
development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the year in which 
the expenditure is incurred. Amortisation of the Group’s intangible assets is recognised on a straight-line 
basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed  
at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted  
for on a prospective basis. 

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested 
annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might  
be impaired and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill  
are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.

Intangible assets are amortised, based on the useful live assessed by management, as follows:

•  Software 

•  Customer database 

•  Patents 

•  Trademarks 

3 years

5 years

20 years

3-5 years

• 

Licensed distribution agreements  

1-20 years

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to 
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such 
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the 
impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other 
assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs. Where a 
reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated  
to individual CGU, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGU for which a reasonable  
and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

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

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, 
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that 
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which 
the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU)  
is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to  
its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (CGU) is increased to the 
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does 
not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised 
for the asset (CGU) in prior years.

(Cont.)

Trade payables 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the 
financial year for which an invoice has been processed through the Group’s payables system and the 
amount remains unpaid. 

The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 to 90 days of recognition. The average credit period 
on purchases of certain goods from international supplier’s ranges from 4 weeks to 4 months. There is no 
interest charged on trade payables. The Group has financial risk management policies in place to ensure 
that, as often as possible, all payables are paid within a reasonable timeframe.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities represent the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and are 
recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the Group recognises a receivable to reflect its 
unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the Group has transferred the goods or 
services to the customer.

License guarantee commitments

The Group enters into royalty agreements. The terms of the royalty agreements require minimum levels  
of royalty payments to be offset against the minimum guarantees received at the start of the agreement. 
If, after calculating the net contribution relating to the products sold under the specific agreement, there is 
a shortfall between the minimum guarantee and the actual royalty derived (or forecast to be derived in future 
periods) from the reported sales the agreement is impaired. Net contribution is calculated after taking into 
account net sales revenue, cost of goods sold, applicable royalties and direct selling costs. If the royalty 
shortfall cannot be recovered from the resulting net contribution a provision is made through profit or loss.

Borrowings

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, 
with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of 
allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts 
estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate,  
a shorter period.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs include:

• 

• 

• 

interest on bank overdrafts and short-term and long-term borrowings;

finance lease charges; and

certain exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings. 

Lease liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised 
at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the 
interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity’s 
incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, 
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual 
value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain 
to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on  
an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

38

Annual Report 2022

NOTE 1: Significant accounting policies (Cont.)
Lease liabilities (Cont.)

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts 
are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index 
or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. 
When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to 
profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a 
past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate 
can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is a best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present 
obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. 
Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligations, its carrying 
amount is the present value of those cash flows. 

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from 
a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received 
and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Employee benefits

(i)  Wages and salaries annual leave and long service leave

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave 
and long service leave where it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being 
measured reliably.

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, 
are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. 

Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months 
are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect 
of services provided by employees up to reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and 
salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are 
discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency 
that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(ii)  Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when incurred.

(iii)  Profit sharing and bonus plans

Liabilities for profit sharing and bonus plans are expected to be settled within 12 months and are measured 
at the amounts expected to be paid when they are settled.

(iv)  Employee benefit on-costs

Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised and included in employee benefit liabilities 
and costs, when the employee benefits to which they relate are recognised as liabilities.

39

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

(Cont.)

(v)  Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Company Employee Incentive Plan.

The fair value of options and performance and service share rights granted under the Company Employee 
Incentive Plan is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair 
value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become 
unconditionally entitled to the options (vesting period).

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an appropriate option pricing model that 
takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact 
of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility 
of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, total shareholder performance hurdles and the risk-free 
interest rate for the term of the option.

The fair value of the options, performance and service share rights and schemes granted excludes the impact 
of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market 
vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become 
exercisable. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are 
expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account 
the most recent estimate.

Upon the exercise of options or performance and service share rights, the balance of the share-based 
payments reserve relating to those options is transferred within equity. The market value of shares issued  
to employees for no cash consideration under the employee incentive plan is recognised as an employee 
benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity when the employees become entitled to the shares.

Determination of fair values

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both 
financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or 
disclosure purposes, based on the methods as stated below. When applicable, further information about 
the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

In estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses market observable data to the extent  
it is available. Where it is not available, the Group engages third party qualified valuers to perform the 
valuation. The fair value of the asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell the asset or  
paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at measurement date. 

The Group shall use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient 
data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising 
the use of unobservable inputs. 

To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the Group 
has adopted the fair value hierarchy established in AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ that categorises fair 
value measurement into three levels:

• 

• 

• 

Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets  
for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within 
Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived 
from prices).

Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the 
asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value shall be applied consistently. However, a change in a 
valuation technique or its application (e.g. a change in its weighting when multiple valuation techniques  
are used or a change in an adjustment applied to a valuation technique) is appropriate if the change 
results in a measurement that is equally or more representative of fair value in the circumstances.

Financial instruments issued by the Group

(i)  Equity instruments

Equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance 
of the contractual arrangement. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised 
directly in contributed equity.

(ii)  Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value net of transaction 
costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of 
allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts 
estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate,  
a shorter period.

Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether 
equity instruments or other assets are acquired. 

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity 
instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount  
of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable 
net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. On the acquisition of a business, 
the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification  
and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating  
or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. 
Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is 
recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent 
settlement is accounted for within equity.

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any 
non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value 
of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and 
the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain 
purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer  
on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net 
assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the 
acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquirer. 

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts 
the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement 
period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-
date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) 
when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Toys “R” Us ANZ 
Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number 
of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares 
issued during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to  
take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive 
potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no 
consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Goods and services tax 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

•  where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part 

of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or

• 

for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included as a current asset  
or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows 
arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority 
are classified as operating cash flows.

Rounding of amounts

The company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ 
Reports) Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument 
amounts in the directors’ report and the financial statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 1, the directors are 
required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions  
are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results  
may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting 
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period 
or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

In addition to the key sources of estimation uncertainty on the going concern basis as disclosed in Note 1, 
the following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty 
at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

(i)  Useful life and impairment of intangible assets

Management has assessed the useful life of intangibles on the following basis:

•  Software – based on the license or expected useful lives, not exceeding 3 years;

•  Customer database – based on the expected churn rates;

•  Patents and Trademarks – based on the contractual life of the patent/trademark, ranging from  

10-20 years; and

• 

Licensed distribution agreements – based on the term of the agreement or the expected Brand product 
life cycle, ranging from 1-20 years.

Whilst the current useful lives are management’s best estimate, a periodic review is undertaken to ensure 
that these remain appropriate.

The Group tests annually for intangibles assets with indefinite useful lives or when impairment indicators 
are identified, whether intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting 
policy. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use 
calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based 
on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. The recoverable amounts 
of the other intangible assets have been determined on a relief from royalty basis. These calculations 
require the use of assumptions. A significant change to the assumptions affects the recoverable amount  
of the other intangible assets.

Financial Statements

(ii)  Recoverability of inventory

The Group periodically assesses whether the net realisable value (NRV) of its inventories is reasonable in 
light of changing market conditions within the retail sector and the Group’s reassessment of brand portfolio. 
Whilst the Group has provided to recognise the best estimate for the amount for which its inventory will  
be realised, the final amounts will be subject to the prevailing market conditions and may differ from the 
amounts provided for.

(iii)  Allowance for expected credit losses

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is 
based on the lifetime expected credit loss grouped based on days overdue and industry type and makes 
assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include 
recent sales experience and historical collection rates. The allowance for expected credit losses is calculated 
based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may 
be higher or lower.

(iv)  Taxation timing differences recognised as asset and deferral of tax liability 

The amount of deferred tax asset in respect of revenue tax losses is determined based upon expected  
future taxable income, and judgement as to the loss availability under the “continuity of ownership test”, 
and where applicable the “similar business test”. Based on the current assessment, determined using 
budget forecasts for FY2022, the Group has continued to not recognise an amount within the deferred  
tax asset for temporary differences. Refer to Note 8 for details.

(v)  Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Events related to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) have resulted in continued uncertainty as to ongoing 
and future response of governments and authorities globally, as well as a likelihood of an Australian economic 
recession of unknown duration or severity. As such, the full impact of COVID-19 to consumer behaviour, 
suppliers, employees and the Group are not fully known. Given this, the impact of COVID-19 could potentially 
be materially adverse to the Group’s financial and operational performance. Further, any government or 
industry measures may adversely affect the Group’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control  
of the Group. The longer-term impacts of COVID-19 on the operations of the Group remain uncertain and 
cannot be quantified at this time.

(vi)  Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of 
the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the 
Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments 
were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments 
would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting 
period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

NOTE 4: Operating segments 
Identification of reportable operating segments

The Group is organised into two operating segments based on differences in products sold: Business to 
Consumer (B2C) and Business to Business (B2C). These operating segments are based on the internal reports 
that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors and KMP (who are identified as the Chief Operating 
Decision Makers (‘CODM’)) to make strategic and operating decisions, in assessing business performance 
and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments.

The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting 
policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial 
statements. The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis. 

Information about products and services

The principal products of each of these operating segments are as follows:

•  B2C – direct-to-consumer sale of consumer products (toys, hobby and baby goods); and 

•  B2B – wholesaling* and distribution of IT products.

* 

includes the revenues from the erstwhile Funtastic business (discontinued operations).

Intersegment transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. There were no inter-segment 
transactions during the year or account balances at 31 July 2022. 

The directors have assessed that there are no major customers.

Unrecognised taxable temporary differences associated with investments  
and interests in subsidiaries

Under the tax law, the taxable profit made by a tax-consolidated group in relation to an entity leaving  
the group depends on a range of factors, including the tax values and/or carrying values of the assets  
and liabilities of the leaving entities, which vary in line with the transactions and events recognised in  
each entity. The taxable profit or loss ultimately made on any disposal of the investments within the 
tax-consolidated group will therefore depend upon when each entity leaves the tax-consolidated group 
and the assets and liabilities that the leaving entity holds at that time.

The Group considers the effects of entities entering or leaving the tax-consolidated group to be a change 
 of tax status that is only recognised when those events occur. As a result, temporary differences and 
deferred tax liabilities have not been measured or recognised in relation to investments remaining within 
the tax-consolidated group.

Tax consolidation

(i)  Relevance of tax consolidation to the Group

The Company and its wholly owned Australian resident entities formed a tax-consolidated Group with 
effect from 1 January 2003 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity  
within the tax-consolidated Group is Toys”R”Us ANZ Limited. The members of the tax-consolidated Group 
are identified in Note 24.

(ii)  Nature of tax funding arrangement and tax sharing agreement

Entities within the tax-consolidated Group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax sharing 
agreement with the head entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, Toys”R”Us ANZ Limited 
and each of the entities in the tax-consolidated Group have agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to  
or from the head entity, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of the entity. Such amounts 
are reflected in amounts receivable from or payable to the other entities in the tax consolidated Group.

The tax sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax-consolidated Group provide for the 
determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default 
on its tax payment obligations or if an entity should leave the tax consolidated Group. The effect of the tax 
sharing agreement is that each member’s liability for tax payable by the tax consolidated Group is limited 
to the amount payable to the head entity under the tax funding arrangement.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any change in the credit quality 
of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration 
of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the directors believe 
that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for impairment.

There were no additions to the right-of-use assets during the current and previous years. 

As at 31 July 2022, the Group leased office and warehouse premises under agreements of less than one year. 
These leases are either short-term or low-value, so have been expensed as incurred and not capitalised  
as right-of-use assets.

Impairment testing – Intangible Assets

Recoverability of software and licenses has been assessed at the time of creation/subscription based on 
their useful life and is then amortised accordingly. All software and licenses are reviewed for their usefulness 
and validity annually and impaired if required. 

The Group has identified that there are two cash-generating units which are aligned with the operating 
segments disclosed in Note 4 and against which goodwill and other intangible assets are allocated and tested.

Goodwill

Business to consumer (B2C)

Business to business (B2B)

15,195

25,628

The recoverable amount of the Group’s goodwill has been determined by a value-in-use calculation using  
a discounted cash flow model, based on budgets for FY 2023 approved by the Board and extrapolated  
for a further 4 years using a steady rate, together with a terminal value. As at 31 July 2022, the recoverable 
value of value-in use calculation of the B2C CGU was below the carrying value of the CGU. As a result of 
this analysis, the Group has recognised an impairment charge of $14.5 million in the current year against 
goodwill with a carrying value of $25.628 million as at 31 July 2021. The impairment charge was recorded  
as a separate line in the statement of profit or loss.

Key assumptions

Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is most sensitive. 
The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for the CGUs:

Key assumptions

Revenue and expenses for FY 2022

Projected revenue and cost of sales growth rate per annum after budget period

Projected operating costs and overheads increase after budget period

Pre-tax discount rate

Long-term growth rate

2.4%

19.43%

3.0%

3.5%

2.4%

19.43%

2.0%

The pre-tax discount rates reflect management’s estimate of the time value of money and the Group’s weighted 
average cost of capital, the risk-free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements.

Management believes the projected revenue growth rates are prudent and justified, based on historical 
performance of the businesses. 

Outcome of impairment assessment

Based on the above:

•  an impairment charge of $14,500,000 has been applied as the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded  

its recoverable amount for the B2C CGU.

• 

the recoverable amount of the B2B CGU exceeded the carrying amount by $1,100,000.

Annual Report 2022

NOTE 14: Non-current Assets – Goodwill and Other Intangibles (Cont.)
Key assumptions (Cont.)

Sensitivity

As disclosed in Note 3, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing 
of goodwill.

Should these judgements and estimates not occur, the resulting goodwill carrying amount may decrease. 
The sensitivities are as follows:

B2C

Any negative changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of goodwill is based,  
would result in a further impairment charge for the B2C CGU’s goodwill.

B2B

•  Revenue growth during the budget period would need to decrease by more than 4.5% before goodwill 

would need to be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant.

•  The pre-tax discount rate would need to increase by 2% or more before goodwill would need to be 

impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant. 

Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable 
amount of both the CGUs’ goodwill is based would not cause the CGUs’ carrying amount to exceed its 
recoverable amount.

NOTE 15: Assets pledged as security
In accordance with the security arrangements of liabilities as disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements, 
all assets of the Group, present and future, have been pledged as security. The Group does not have the 
right to sell or re-pledge the assets.

In July 2022, the Company obtained a three-year secured loan facility of $15 million to support working 
capital and capital expenditure requirements for the Company’s planned entry into the UK market and 
e-commerce launch, including the acquisition of inventory. The loan is repayable at the end of July 2025 
and as at the balance sheet date, the Group had utilised $10 million of the total facility limit. The facility  
is secured against all assets of the Group, both present and future.

(i)  The provision for employee benefits represents annual leave and long service leave entitlements accrued. 
(ii)  The current provision for employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed  
the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. 
The entire amount is presented as current, since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. 
However, based on past experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued 
leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent 
entity in proportion to the number of members’ shares held. At members’ meetings, each fully paid ordinary 
share is entitled to vote when ta poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands. 
The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a limited amount of 
authorised capital.

Foreign currency translation reserve

The foreign translation reserve account accumulates exchange differences arising on translation of foreign 
controlled entities which are recognised in other comprehensive income. The carrying amount is reclassified 
to profit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.

Equity-settled employee benefits reserve

Movements in the reserve are detailed in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The reserve 
records amount for the fair value of options granted and recognised as an employee benefits expense  
but not exercised.

NOTE 26: Financial Instruments
Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going 
concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which comprises the borrowings detailed in Note 16, 
cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, 
accumulated losses and reserves as disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Equity.

The Board reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review the cost of capital and the 
risks associated with each class of capital is considered. The Group balances its overall capital structure 
through the payment of dividends, new share issues and share buy-backs as well as the issue of new debt 
and the repayment of debt.

Significant accounting policies

Details of significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition,  
the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each 
class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial 
statements. These policies were consistent throughout the current year and the previous year.

Annual Report 2022

NOTE 26: Financial Instruments (Cont.)
Financial risk management objectives

The Group’s finance function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and 
international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations  
of the Group through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risk.  
These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group seeks to minimise the effects of these risks, by using various financial instruments to hedge  
these exposures. The use of financial instruments is governed by the Group’s policies approved by the Board  
of Directors, who provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of 
financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments and the investment of excess liquidity. 

Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed on a continual basis. The Group does not enter  
into any trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

Market risk

The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates 
and interest rates. The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure 
to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk, including:

•  Foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on the import of goods 

denominated in US dollars; and

• 

Interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates.

At a Group level, market risk exposures are measured through sensitivity analysis and stress scenario analysis.

In FY 2022, while there have been interest rate increases, there has been no material change to the Group’s 
exposure to market risk or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. 

Foreign currency risk management

Foreign currency risk refers to the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument  
will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk 
arises from the net investment in the United States operations and the undertaking of certain transactions 
denominated in foreign currencies. 

The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities 
at the reporting date is as follows:

US Dollars

GBP

2021

The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign 
currency risk through foreign exchange rates fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and 
financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency. This is measured 
using sensitivity and cash flow forecasting.

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

Foreign currency sensitivity

The Group is mainly exposed to the US dollar (USD) and the UK Pound Sterling (GBP). The following table 
details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and 10% decrease in the Australian dollar against the 
relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate which represents management’s assessment of the 
possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign 
currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in 
foreign currency rates. A positive number indicates an increase in profit or loss where the Australian dollar 
strengthens against the respective currency. For a weakening of the Australian dollar against the respective 
currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on profit or loss and the balances below would be 
equal and opposite. A positive number indicates an increase in other equity where the Australian dollar 
weakens against the respective currency. For a strengthening of the Australian dollar against the respective 
currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on other equity and the balances below would 
be negative.

Forward foreign exchange contracts

At 31 July 2022, there were no foreign exchange contracts (2021: Nil).

Interest rate risk management

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will 
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows 
funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the use of interest rate swap contracts. 
Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, 
ensuring optimal hedging strategies are applied, by either positioning the statement of financial position  
or protecting interest expense through different interest rate cycles.

The Group’s exposure to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the 
liquidity risk management section below.

Interest rate sensitivity

As at 31 July 2022, the Group has a fixed interest rate of 9.50% p.a. on its secured borrowings of $10 million 
as at the balance sheet date. In an event of default payment of interest, the Group will have an additional 
interest expense of $0.35 million at an incremental 3.5% interest rate. It is the Group’s policy to protect part 
of the loans from exposure to increasing interest rates.

The Group does not have any variable rate borrowings as at the balance sheet date.

NOTE 26: Financial Instruments (Cont.)
Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a 
financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. 
The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are monitored continuously and the 
aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers spread across diverse industries. Ongoing credit 
evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable and, where appropriate, credit 
guarantee insurance is purchased. 

The Group has a credit risk exposure to a small number of major ASX listed corporations for which credit 
guarantee insurance is not purchased. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition  
of these accounts receivable. 

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses, 
represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

Liquidity risk management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an 
appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and 
long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining 
adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast 
and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Liquidity and interest tables – financial liabilities

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial 
liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

•  The fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments)  

are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow 
analysis using prices from observable current market transactions; and 

•  The fair value of derivative instruments are calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are  
not available, discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the 
instruments for non-optional derivatives and option pricing models for optional derivatives is used.

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded  
at amortised cost in the financial statements approximates their fair values.

Fair value measurements recognised in the consolidated statement  
of financial position

Fair value measurements are discussed in Note 1 and in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

NOTE 27: Share-based payments
(a)  Expenses recognised 

An expense of $667,543 (2021: $1,453,800) has been recognised in the profit and loss in relation to share-based 
payments granted during the period. 

(b)  Share options and share appreciation rights 

An employee incentive plan has been established by the Group and approved by shareholders at a general 
meeting whereby the Group may, at the discretion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, grant 
options and rights over ordinary shares in the company to directors and employees. The grant of options and 
rights forms a part of the Company’s long term incentive objectives to encourage directors and employees 
to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives. Options and rights provide 
an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through 
share ownership. The options and rights are issued for nil consideration and are only subject to a vesting 
condition relating to the participant’s continued employment with the Company. The options and rights 
must be exercised before their expiry date, or they will lapse. On the exercise of an option, the holder must 
pay to the Company the relevant exercise price multiplied by the number of options being exercised by  
the holder. The Company will issue the holder with a share for each option or right that the participant 
validly exercises.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

To the Members of Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited 

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (together 
referred to as “the Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 July 2022, 
the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of 
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial 
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. 

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including: 

(i)

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 July 2022 and of its financial performance
for the year then ended; and

(ii) 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 (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. 

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to 
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's 
report.

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate to  provide  a  basis  for  our 
opinion.

Key Audit Matters

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

Key Audit Matter
Impairment assessment of goodwill
Refer to Note 14 in the financial statements
As at 31 July 2022, the Group had goodwill with a carrying 
amount  of  $15.20  million  (approximately  30%  of  the  total 
assets  of  the  Group)  relating  to  its  acquisition  of  Hobby 
Warehouse Group in the prior year. 

As  required  by  AASB  136  Impairment  of  Assets (“AASB 
136”), management performed an impairment test over the 
goodwill balance at 31 July 2022 by:

•

•

calculating  the  value-in-use  (“VIU”)  for  each  identified
cash generating unit (“CGU”) using a discounted cash
flow model. This model used cash flows projections for
the  CGUs  for  5  years,  with  a  terminal  growth  rate
applied  to  the year 5.  These  cash  flows  were  then
discounted to their net present value using the Group’s
weighted average cost of capital (WACC); and

comparing the resulting VIU of each CGU to its carrying
amount.

Management has identified that there are two CGUs for the 
purpose  of  performing  impairment  testing (being  B2B  and 
B2C businesses).  

As  a  result  of  this  exercise,  an  impairment  of  goodwill  of 
$14.50 million was recognised during the year in relation to 
the  B2C  CGU.  Management  also  performed  a  sensitivity 
analysis  over 
the 
assumptions used (growth rates, terminal growth rate and 
WACC) to assess the impact on the valuations.

How our audit addressed this matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the impairment testing of 
goodwill involved the assistance of our Corporate Finance 
team, and included:

•

•

•

Assessing  management’s  determination  that  goodwill
should be allocated to two CGUs based on the Group’s
business  and  the  manner  in  which  the  results  are
monitored and reported;

Assessing and challenging the reasonableness of key
assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model,
including the cash flow projections, future growth rates,
discount  rate  applied  and  terminal  value.  We  also
assessed whether the key assumptions adopted were
applied on a consistent basis across the models;

• Reviewing management’s sensitivity analysis over the

• Reviewing management’s calculation of the impairment

Key Audit Matters (continued)

Key Audit Matter
Revenue recognition
Refer to Note 6 in the financial statements
Revenue recognition  is  considered  a  Key  Audit  Matter 
because of its significance to the Group’s reported financial 
performance. 

The  risk  is  heightened  due  to  having  revenue  streams 
across two distinct segments. 

Revenue  recognition  can  be  impacted  by  a  failure to 
correctly  measure  revenue  in  accordance  with  applicable 
accounting  standards  and/or  by  applying  an  incorrect 
approach to period end cut-off.

How our audit addressed this matter

Our  audit  procedures  in  relation  to  revenue  recognition 
included: 

•

•

Assessing  whether  the  Group’s  revenue  recognition
policies  were  in  compliance  with  the  requirements  of
AASB 15 Revenues from Contracts with Customers;

Evaluating  and  testing  the  operating  effectiveness  of
key controls related to revenue recognition;

• Reviewing  any  large  or  unusual  transactions  close  to

the end of the financial year;

•

Performing  cut-off  testing  over  transactions  recorded
either side of the period end, to ensure that revenues
were recorded in the appropriate period;

• Conducting  a  combination  of 

tests  of  controls,
substantive  analytical  procedures  and  tests  of  details
in respect of revenue transactions; and

• Reviewing  disclosures 

to  corroborate 

they  are

appropriate and meet the requirements of AASB 15.

Other Information 

The  directors  of  the  Company  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information  included  in  the  Group's  annual  report  for  the  year  ended  31  July  2022; but  does  not  include  the 
financial report and the auditor's report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report, or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal 
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as 
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  as a whole  is  free  from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance; but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

A  further  description  of  our  responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  is  located  at  the  Auditing  and 
Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar2_2020.pdf. This
