Chair’s Message

Collins Foods delivered solid 
top-line growth in FY23 amidst a 
challenging landscape, benefitting 
from increasing scale in Australia 
and Europe. 

Growth underpinned by KFC brand 
strength and e-commerce
Both KFC businesses recorded strong same store sales growth, 
reflecting the continued strength of the brand and increased 
adoption of digital and delivery channels. 

KFC Australia surpassed $1 billion in sales for the first time. Higher 
ticket sizes and strong growth in e-commerce, supported by the 
rollout of UberEats, were primary contributors to the increase in 
same store sales growth. With the addition of 11 new restaurants, 
Collins Foods’ mature Australian network now stands at 272.

Collins Foods’ European KFC operations continued its strong 
momentum, delivering impressive double-digit revenue and same 
store sales growth as operational control under our Netherlands 
Corporate Franchise Agreement (CFA) strengthened brand and 
product quality perceptions. Increased transaction volumes and 
higher ticket sizes as value-led marketing campaigns resonated with 
customers driving same store sales growth. Collins Foods continues 
to move towards scale in the region with its footprint increasing 
more than 50% over the past two years. Five new restaurants 
opened in FY23 and a further eight were acquired in May 2023. 

Digital and delivery remain key growth drivers for all three business 
units. Convenience is also key for Taco Bell with a high delivery  
mix and greater accessibility supporting brand awareness and trial.  
A successful UberEats rollout improved same store sales in the 
second half of FY23, and same store sales returned to positive in 
FY24 as marketing and product quality initiatives begin to impact. 

Dividend maintained
In FY23, Collins Foods delivered record revenue of $1.3495 billion, 
up 14.2% over the prior year due to its scaling footprint and growth 
across all business units. 

Topline growth combined with operational efficiencies and cost 
mitigation initiatives helped to alleviate some of the significant 
cost inflation across the Group, with underlying EBITDA down 1.2% 
to $205.1 million. Underlying NPAT decreased 12.1% to $51.9 million. 
Statutory NPAT was impacted by a non-cash accounting charge 
taken to impair the remainder of Taco Bell.

The Company remained highly cash generative with $146.2 million 
in cash flow from operating activities, facilitating investment in new 
restaurants, remodels, and acquisitions.

Taking into consideration Collins Foods’ operating cash flows, strong 
balance sheet, strength of the business and growth opportunities, 
the Board was pleased to declare a fully franked final dividend of 
15.0 cents per share, bringing total FY23 dividend to 27.0 cents per 
share fully franked, in-line with the prior year.

Well positioned in a challenging landscape 
While cost inflation for some commodities is beginning to 
moderate, margin pressures are likely to remain for most of the 
coming year. Collins Foods is well-positioned to navigate these 
challenging conditions with positive same store sales growth across 
all three business units in the first seven weeks of FY24, and a strong 
program of margin support initiatives across energy, supply chain, 
and menu pricing.  

KFC Australia EBITDA margin (pre AASB 16) is expected to remain 
broadly neutral in FY24 with improvement closer to historical 
levels in FY25. Despite a continued high inflationary environment in 
Europe, our European business is targeting limited EBITDA margin 
contraction in FY24. 

Collins Foods continues to execute on its long-term growth plans 
with 13 to 18 new restaurant openings planned across the Group 
in FY24.

Positive Impact Strategy 
Collins Foods continued its commitment to sustainable growth 
in FY23, progressing initiatives across people and communities, 
planet and governance. Our Positive Impact Report, published 
separately, outlines Collins Foods’ Australian achievements over 
the year, including increased safety and wellbeing for employees, 
more sustainable operations, and greater cyber and data 
management capability.

While we are proud of our progress over the past three years, we 
have recently appointed a Group ESG & Sustainability Manager 
to further strengthen our environmental, social and governance 
(ESG) program. Collins Foods is partnering with EY Australia on a 
materiality assessment to identify and understand key sustainability 
priorities, impacts, and opportunities within a dynamically changing 
landscape. A climate risk assessment and action plan are also being 
developed to deliver greater alignment with the Taskforce on 
Climate related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations.

Note: All figures are post AASB 16 and from continuing operations unless otherwise stated. Continuing operations excludes Sizzler Asia.

Board changes
During the year, Collins Foods welcomed highly credentialed 
executive Nicki Anderson to the Board as a new independent, 
Non-executive Director and a member of the Audit & Risk and 
Remuneration & Nomination Committees. Nicki is an excellent 
addition to the Board, bringing more than 25 years’ leadership 
experience across strategy, sales, marketing, customer experience 
and innovation within the global food, beverage, and consumer 
goods sectors. 

On behalf of my fellow Directors, I would also like to acknowledge 
Russell Tate who, after 12 years, is retiring from his Non-executive 
Director role at the upcoming 2023 AGM, in line with succession 
plans. Russell’s contribution to the Board has been significant, 
notably leading the Company as Chair from its listing through to 
March 2015. We wish Russell all the best for the future.

Thank you
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our more than 17,000 
employees for their continued hard work and dedication. Our solid 
FY23 performance amidst a challenging landscape is a testament to 
our entire team and highly skilled leadership, who continue to raise 
the bar on creating unmatched experiences for our customers. 

I would also like to acknowledge my fellow Directors for their 
valuable input and guidance throughout the year. And finally,  
thank you to our shareholders for your support. Your company  
is well placed to navigate the volatility ahead, operating some of  
the world’s most recognisable brands within the highly resilient, 
value-centric QSR industry.

Managing Director & CEO’s Report

In FY23, Collins Foods continued 
to execute on its sustainable 
growth plans across all three 
business units whilst managing 
cost inflation during difficult 
trading conditions. 

The Company achieved this result through its ‘restaurants 
done better’ approach to all operations and customer service, 
focussing on its value credentials and harnessing the strength of 
the powerhouse KFC brand to lead the sector on value, quality, 
and taste at a time when this really matters.

KFC
KFC’s strong topline growth in Australia and Europe reflect 
the resilience and trust in the brand during challenging 
economic conditions. 

KFC operations in Australia strengthened in FY23 through an 
increased footprint and rollout of innovative marketing initiatives 
that are driving mainstream appeal, while the Company’s KFC 
Europe brand delivered impressive double-digit revenue and SSS 
growth, even with significant inflationary pressures in the region.

Taco Bell
New brands take time to gain traction, even those with the appeal 
of Taco Bell. Collins Foods is expanding the brand presence of Taco 
Bell in Australia by investing in marketing activities and campaigns. 
The Company is also being backed by Taco Bell International (Yum!) 
to raise awareness of the brand and increase sales so the Taco Bell 
brand can achieve scale within three years.

Financial performance
Collins Foods delivered another solid financial performance in 
FY23. All business units achieved revenue growth, with KFC Europe 
seeing double-digit revenue and earnings growth and KFC Australia 
surpassing the $1 billion sales milestone. Group revenue increased 
14.2% to $1.3495 billion, underpinned by solid KFC same stores sales 
growth and the contribution of 21 additional restaurants.

Statutory EBITDA was $197.9 million, while underlying EBITDA was 
$205.1 million, reflecting pressures on supply chains, labour and 
inflationary costs. 

Statutory NPAT was $11.3 million and underlying NPAT came in at 
$51.9 million, due to a non-cash accounting impairment of $36.7 
million for Taco Bell. 

Net cash flow from operations decreased to $146.2 million from 
$156.3 million in FY22, as the Company increased its investment 
in growth initiatives. Net debt grew to $212.2 million and the net 
leverage ratio grew from 1.17 to 1.47: (pre AASB 16).

Operational performance

KFC AUSTRALIA
The KFC Australia brand is becoming more salient for customers 
as we continue to expand both its physical and digital presence. 
In FY23 our growing KFC Australia business delivered more 
than $1 billion in revenue, up 10% on the prior year, driven by an 
expanding network of 272 restaurants and solid same store sales 
growth. Transactions remained broadly flat on the prior year, in line 
with the overall Australian QSR market.

Same store sales rose 5.8% over the prior period, reflecting strong 
growth in e-commerce, increased availability through Uber Eats,  
and higher ticket. The second half of FY23 saw almost a quarter of 
all sales come through our growing digital and delivery channels,  
up more than 7% over the same period last year. Increased 
accessibility has been a key driver of this growth, with the brand 
now available through all major aggregators while new digital 
software has improved personalisation of offers through the app 
with great take-up of these promotions. 

To accommodate our changing order mix and evolving customer 
trends, we are embedding convenience and innovation in new 
builds with dedicated delivery-driver entrances and waiting 
areas, increased kiosk installation, as well as enhanced design and 
music elements. These improvements were also rolled out to 47 
remodelled restaurants during the year. At the same time, we’re 
investing in back-of-house technology to improve efficiency, speed 
and reduce wastage.

While Australia currently has the highest penetration of KFC 
per capita of any global market, we still believe there is room to 
grow with plans to open a further nine to 12 restaurants over the 
coming year. This is ahead of our development agreement pace.

Underlying EBITDA was $201.6 million, with the EBITDA margin 
declining from 21.6% to 19.2% (pre AASB 16: from 17.4% to 15.0%), 
reflecting the impact of inflationary pressures and supply chain. 

KFC EUROPE
KFC Europe was a standout for the business in FY23, especially 
considering the challenging local market conditions in which annual 
inflation more than tripled, high energy costs reached record levels, 
and there were sizeable increases in labour and food. Same store 
sales grew +13.9% and revenue increased 31% to $249.5 million,  
as Collins Foods was able to utilise marketing activities through  
the Netherlands Corporate Franchise Agreement (CFA).

Both the Netherlands and Germany saw solid sales transaction 
volume increases and a higher ticket. The growth in sales was made 
possible by a margin strategy that prioritised value initiatives and 
helped mitigate significant cost pressures. 

With our increased marketing and operational control, both 
consideration and conversion increased in FY23, as did our positive 
value metrics versus competitors. 

Note: All figures are post AASB 16 and from continuing operations unless otherwise stated. Continuing operations excludes Sizzler Asia.

x   ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | COLLINS FOODS LIMITED

Like in Australia, innovation is key in our product strategy, with KFC 
Netherlands’ veggie platform one of the highest in the world. Digital 
channels, at double-digit levels, are key to our convenience strategy, 
with improvements made to kiosk, delivery, and the introduction of 
a new app during the year.

Underlying EBITDA grew 19.0% to $32.8 million. On a post AASB 16 
basis, the EBITDA margin contracted from 14.5% to 13.2%, noting that 
the pre AASB16 EBITDA margin of 6.6% was consistent with FY22.

Collins Foods has grown its FY23 market share for KFC in the 
Netherlands to 64%, through our 56 restaurants. This growth is 
in line with the CFA, which will see the Company target up to 130 
net new restaurants by 2031. Collins Foods is seeing support of our 
leadership from sub-franchisees in the country, which was bolstered 
by it winning Franchisee of The Year in Western Europe by Yum!. 
The Company also continues to look for more opportunities to 
further increase its market share in the Netherlands.  

TACO BELL
Collins Foods has initiatives in place to generate more customers 
for its 26 Taco Bell restaurants in Australia through a metro cluster 
strategy that focuses on deliveries and marketing that drives more 
consumer trial and engagement. They feature the value of iconic 
craveable Taco Bell products at key price points and are based on 
improved quality of product through increased engagement with 
local suppliers to create flavour profiles and consistency that suit 
local tastes. 

Taco Bell saw revenue growth of 36.1% to $48.7 million, due to the 
opening of eight new restaurants across Australia in FY23. Same 
store sales improved over the second half in part due to the high 
25% delivery mix and successful rollout of Uber Eats, but remained 
down 4.8% on a full year basis. 

EBITDA profitability at the restaurant level was at $2.8 million, a 
decrease of $1.2 million from FY22, and underlying EBITDA saw a loss 
of $1.5 million. This loss was expected as Collins Foods continues to 
invest in Taco Bell’s growth initiatives.

SIZZLER ASIA
Sizzler Asia rebounded as operating conditions normalised with 
royalty revenue up 45.8% to $4.1 million, generating EBITDA growth 
of $2.9 million – an increase of more than 70% on the prior year. 
The Sizzler Asia business, considered non-core to our strategy, has 
now been sold for SGD $20.2 million under an agreement with a 
subsidiary of listed Thai company Minor International. The sale is 
on a cash-free, debt free and working capital neutral basis, and is 
expected to complete in early July 2023.

The capital has been effectively redeployed to support the 
expansion of our high-growth European operations.  

ESG/Sustainability
Collins Foods’ Positive Impact Strategy has some of the  
Australian QSR industry’s most substantial environmental,  
social and governance targets for a restaurant operator of its size. 
Over the year, we continued to work towards these targets under 
the banners of people and communities, planet, and governance. 

We pride ourselves on a people-first culture and continue to create  
unmatched experiences for our team and customers. We continue 
to regularly promote health and safety practices within our day 
to day operations to strengthen our safety culture. Enrolment 
in Collins Foods Giving was stable at 36% despite cost-of-living 
pressures also impacting our team, with the Collins Family 
Fund granting $275k to employees experiencing challenging 
circumstances. Importantly, our people can now share in our 
success under a newly launched Ownership Share Plan.  

On sustainability, Collins Foods decreased its greenhouse gas 
(GHG) emissions across its operations by 12.7% in FY23, down 20.3% 
since FY21, despite continuing to grow its restaurant network. 
Solar is now installed on all available 162 drive-thru restaurants 
(subject to landlord and council approvals), with installations in 
Europe commencing next year. We reduced waste to landfill with a 
diversion rate of 19.6%, supported by organics waste diversion now 
in 23 stores, and food recovery partnerships being rolled out to KFC 
restaurants in Tasmania, Queensland and NSW. 

Demonstrating our commitment to best practice ESG standards, 
Collins Foods has appointed a Group Sustainability & ESG Manager 
to strengthen our capability in this area and ensure our growth 
remains sustainable. 

Outlook
Inflation continues to be a real part of the Australian and European 
operating environments, and is expected to impact margins for 
much of FY24. Encouragingly, most commodities appear to be 
easing off their peaks and we have initiatives in place across energy, 
supply chain and menu pricing to mitigate inflationary pressures 
across all three business units. These short-term headwinds have 
not changed our growth trajectory and we continue to prioritise 
customer value to protect transactions and long-term brand health. 
Improving brand strength and a recent uptick in market share has 
validated this is the right approach in the current economic climate. 
At the same time, e-commerce remains a key growth driver and 
we continue to increase accessibility of KFC and Taco Bell to meet 
customers’ increasing demand for convenience. 

I’d like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all Collins 
Foods staff for their enormous contribution during the year. 
Our continued growth in a challenging economic environment 
is directly attributable to the hard work of our passionate team 
members. I’d also like to say a special thank you to Group CFO Nigel 
Williams, who left the business in mid-July. Nigel has been a valued 
part of our growth story over the past eight years, and we wish him 
all the best for the future. 

Thank you to our loyal shareholders for your ongoing support over 
the past year. We look forward to executing on our sustainable 
growth plans for our KFC and Taco Bell businesses, confident that 
our best days are ahead of us.

Principal activities during the period 

During the period, the principal activity of the Group was the operation, management and administration of restaurants in 
Australia, Europe and Asia. There were no significant changes in the nature of the Group’s activities this financial year. 

Operating and financial review 

GROUP OVERVIEW 

The Group’s business is the operation, management and administration of restaurants, currently comprising three restaurant 
brands: KFC, Taco Bell and Sizzler. 

At the end of the period, the Group operated 272 franchised KFC restaurants in Australia, 16 franchised KFC restaurants in 
Germany, 48 franchised KFC restaurants in the Netherlands and 28 franchised Taco Bell restaurant in Australia, which all 
compete in the quick service restaurant market. The Group is also a franchisor of the Sizzler brand in South East Asia, with 
71 franchised restaurants predominantly in Thailand, but also in Japan.  

The KFC and Taco Bell brands are two of the world’s largest restaurant chains and are owned globally by Yum!. In Australia, the 
Group is the largest franchisee of KFC restaurants. 

During the current financial period, inflation and the macroeconomic backdrop affecting consumers have combined to 
impact the operations and financial performance of the business. This has affected all brands. The Group has worked closely 
with all stakeholders and our franchisor, Yum! Brands to ensure we undertake activities to mitigate these pressures whilst 
continuing to provide great value for our customers.

The Group’s total revenue increased by 14.1% to $1,348.6 million mainly due to same store sales growth and new restaurant 
openings.  

Despite an increase in total revenue, the business experienced significant cost pressures, which despite good business controls, 
resulted in an EBITDA for the reporting period of $197.9 million. This represents a decrease on the prior reporting period of $7.6 
million, down 3.7%. 

EBITDA, EBIT, NPAT and EPS were impacted by the following non-trading items: 

Restaurant impairments and provisions (1) – Taco Bell 

Taco Bell provision for restaurant closures 

KFC Europe impairment costs

In summary, from the Statutory NPAT from Continuing operations results of $11.3 million, excluding the impact of the non-trading 
items of $40.6 million (outlined in the table above), the Group achieved an Underlying NPAT result of $51.9 million.

Underlying EBITDA of $205.1 million is a reduction of $2.4 million on the prior reporting period, mainly due to significant cost 
pressures experienced by the business that were not fully mitigated by the growth in revenue. 

Management consider that adjusting the results for non-trading items allows the Group to more effectively compare underlying 
performance against prior periods.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

Review of underlying operations 

KFC AUSTRALIA 

The overall performance across the KFC business in Australia has been very positive. Revenue in KFC Australia was up 10% on the 
prior corresponding period to $1,051.3 million, driven by positive same store sales growth of 5.8% for the full year, cycling 1.4% 
same store sales growth in the prior year, together with the opening of 10 new restaurants and one acquisition. KFC Australia 
underlying EBITDA decreased by 2.6%, down from $206.9 million to $201.6 million, with an overall underlying EBITDA margin of 
19.2%. At the end of the financial period, 272 restaurants were in operation.  

KFC Australia continues to focus on providing customers with great value, great tasting food and high levels of customer service. 

Growth in digital and delivery channels remains strong with ecommerce sales accounting for 24.3% of total sales, up from 16.9% 
during the prior period.  

KFC EUROPE 

KFC Europe contributed revenue of $248.7 million and $32.8 million in underlying EBITDA. By the end of the period, 64 restaurants 
were in operation, with 48 restaurants in the Netherlands and 16 in Germany. Underlying EBITDA margin was 13.2%. Same store 
sales growth was 13.9% on the prior corresponding period. This is a direct result of high quality consumer marketing and brand 
building, together with excellent operations. 

During the year, Collins Foods Netherlands’ footprint increased to 48 out of 82 restaurants, representing a 58.5% market share. 
This was achieved through the opening of three restaurants. Collins Foods Germany closed one restaurant during the period. 

The Netherlands Corporate Franchise Agreement (CFA) was entered into during the prior year and Collins Foods Europe 
continues to have primary control over the Netherlands market, including targeted marketing campaigns, continuing the 
“Everyday Value” menu and having control on price. During FY23, all development and performance incentive targets related 
to the CFA were achieved. 

KFC Europe’s priority remains providing customers with great value and great tasting food and building more restaurants.   

TACO BELL  

At the end of the period, 28 Taco Bell restaurants were in operation with 15 located in Queensland, nine located in Victoria and 
four located in Western Australia. Taco Bell contributed revenue of $48.7 million and $(1.5) million in underlying EBITDA. Same 
store sales decline was 4.8% on the prior corresponding period. 

Taco Bell is still a relatively new brand in Australia and the focus remains on driving awareness and trial of the brand whilst 
improving the product quality and refining the brand positioning.  

Management recognised impairment expense for the Taco Bell restaurants of $20.2 million of Property, plant and equipment, 
$27.8 million of Right-of-use assets and $1.1 million of Franchise rights. 

Taco Bell continues to sell well through digital and delivery channels with opportunity for further growth and expansion in the 
upcoming financial year.  

SIZZLER 

Sizzler franchise operations in Asia contributed $4.1 million in revenue. Operations improved during the financial period resulting 
in a 45.8% increase in revenue over the prior corresponding period. Sizzler Asia EBITDA grew by 73.6%, up from $1.7 million to 
$2.9 million. 

Strategy and future performance 

GROUP 

The Group’s strategy is to be renowned for running high quality restaurants, build new restaurants in all its markets and with all its 
brands, and improve the economics of the Taco Bell businesses. In addition, the Group will continue to pursue KFC acquisition 
opportunities where available. Organisational capability is continually being strengthened to support this growth, including risk, 
compliance and Environmental Social Governance (ESG). 

KFC AUSTRALIA 

The plan for the KFC Australia business is to continue to deliver great value products and excellent customer experiences, 
together with expanding digital and delivery channels. This will be complemented by further restaurant builds. 

KFC EUROPE 

In Europe, the focus will be on continuing the momentum in same store sales growth, mitigating where possible the inflationary 
impact on margins and opening an increasing number of restaurants.

Directors’ report 

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

TACO BELL 

Taco Bell will look to consolidate and focus on growing same store sales. This activity will include implementation of product 
quality improvements and marketing initiatives to drive customer trial and engagement, in combination with a greater focus on 
delivery and value. 

Key risks 

The key risks faced by the Group that have the potential to affect the financial prospects of the Group, as disclosed above, 
and how the Group manages these risks, include: 

• 

food safety – there is a risk that the health and safety of the public is compromised from food products. We address this risk 
through robust internal food safety and sanitation practices, audit programs, customer complaint processes, supplier partner 
selection protocols and communication policy and protocols; 

•  workplace health and safety – there is a risk that the Group does not provide a safe working environment for its people, 

contractors and the community. We address this risk through robust internal work health and safety practices, the 
implementation of initiatives and education programs with a focus on preventative measures with enhanced dedicated 
support in high risk areas to ensure the wellbeing of our key stakeholders; 

•  people – there is a risk that the Group is unable to maintain a culture that develops and attracts a sustainable workforce, 

and in compliance with employment laws. We address this risk through deploying contemporary people practices, reward 
and recognition programs, talent management strategies, employee value propositions and ongoing compliance 
monitoring of employment laws (including wage compliance); 

•  growth – there is a risk that the Group is unable to effectively identify, execute and expand as per our growth targets. We 

address this risk through having an experienced management team, robust project management processes involving trials 
and staged rollouts and regular strategic reviews and driving sales and financial performance across our Brands. We 
maintain a close working relationship with the franchisor, having our team members sit on relevant KFC advisory groups and 
committees and monitoring compliance obligations; 

• 

• 

• 

supply chain disruption – there is a risk that the Group’s inability to source key food and consumable products in an ethical 
manner, at the quality required, within the prescribed time frames. We address this risk through use of multiple suppliers 
where possible with a diverse geographic base with multiple distribution routes. Our European supply chain have 
implemented additional measures as a result of the war in Ukraine and the increase in energy prices; 

information security – there is a risk that confidential or sensitive information can be accessed and disclosed by unauthorised 
parties. We address this risk through increasing our external assurance activities and the implementation of a cyber security 
plan including simulations; and 

regulatory changes – there is a risk that the Group is unable to identify and address material regulatory changes that impact 
the business. We address this risk by monitoring regulatory changes and their impacts on the group and obtaining advice 
from external lawyers where required. 

Collins Foods is working toward ensuring that risk management practices are embedded into all processes and operations. 
Collins Foods is exposed to an element of climate related risks such as floods, drought, cyclones and bushfires. Collins Foods 
continuously seeks opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of its operations across all its restaurants, whether they are 
owned and operated in a franchisor or franchisee capacity.  

Collins Foods releases a sustainability report describing the environmental, social and governance related initiatives and 
opportunities relevant to it. During the year Collins Foods engaged EY Australia to provide advisory services to assist with the 
development of a Taskforce on Climate related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) roadmap including a materiality assessment and 
climate risk assessment. 

The 2023 Modern Slavery statement for Collins Foods will be published in the second half of calendar year 2023. 

In light of its partnership with the franchisor of its KFC Australia restaurants, it is suggested that the Collins Foods Modern Slavery 
statement and sustainability report be read together with the KFC Australia modern slavery statement and social impact report 
both available via its website: www.kfc.com.au.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL PERIOD 

On 2 May 2023, Collins Foods announced that its wholly owned Dutch subsidiary, Collins Foods Netherlands Operations B.V., 
completed the acquisition of eight KFC restaurants in the Netherlands from R. Sambo Holding B.V. 

The financial effects of this transaction have not been recognised at 30 April 2023 and the operating results and assets and 
liabilities of the acquired company will be consolidated from 2 May 2023. The acquisition is expected to deliver additional scale 
and to support in further leveraging the Group’s experience and operational capabilities in the Netherlands. 

The purchase price payable was €8.0 million ($13.3 million), subject to adjustments. In addition, contingent consideration is also 
payable as a component of consideration. 

At the time the financial statements were authorised for issue, the Group had not completed the accounting for the acquisition. 
In particular, the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired are unable to be fully determined as the independent 
valuations have not been completed. Further, the fair value of the contingent consideration is unable to be determined at this 
time. 

Full purchase price accounting will be finalised and disclosed in the 2024 half-year interim financial report. 

On 23 February 2023, the Group signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to sell the 100% owned SingCo Trading 
Pte. Ltd Group (SingCo) for SGD20.2 million. The associated SingCo assets and liabilities are consequently presented as available 
for sale and is reported as a discontinued operation as SingCo represents an identifiable, single geographical area of 
operations. 

The transaction is anticipated to complete in mid July 2023 and the full impact, including any gain on sale, will be disclosed in 
the 2024 half-year interim financial report. 

Other than noted above, the Group is not aware of any matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the 
financial year which have significantly or may significantly affect the operations and results of the Group. 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

The Group will continue to pursue the increase of profitability of its major business segments during the next financial period. 
Additional comments on expected results of operations of the Group are included in the operating and financial review section 
of this Report (refer above). 

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS 

The Group is subject to environmental regulation in respect of the operation of its restaurant sites. To the best of the Directors’ 
knowledge, the Group complies with its obligations under environmental regulations and holds all licences required to 
undertake its business activities.

Not a member of the relevant Committee. 

Following record revenue and underlying earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA) in FY21 and FY22, Collins Foods 

Limited total group revenues from continuing operations in FY23 increased by 14.1% to $1,348.6 million, total group pre AASB 16 

underlying EBITDA fell by 4.6% to $141.4 million, and pre AASB 16 underlying net profit after tax from continuing operations (NPAT) fell 

by 9.4% to $57.9 million. Supply chain issues, and significantly higher than expected and budgeted margin pressures, meant that 

EBITDA growth targets set at the start of the year within our Short Term Incentive (STI) Plan were not met for KFC Australia, Taco Bell 

Australia and total group. As a result, no STI payouts were triggered for Australian based Key Management Personnel (KMP), senior 

executives, or support staff.  

Our Collins Foods Europe team (CFE), however, did reach and exceed its FY23 EBITDA target which had two components. One 

related to ongoing operations which faced even greater difficulties than our Australian team around severe inflation, staffing 

shortages, spikes in energy prices and supply chain disruptions. The other related specifically to meeting critical development targets, 

set out by Yum!, within the Netherlands Corporate Franchise Agreement (CFA) signed in 2022. Our CFE team led by CEO, Hans Miete, 

managed to achieve all four first-year CFA incentive targets, including the construction of three restaurants in December 2022 alone, 

and thereby earned maximum incentive payments under the CFA. As further recognition of the efforts of CFE, it was awarded 

Franchisee of the Year by the KFC WEBU (Western Europe business unit), a remarkable distinction. 

Our STI Plan rules state that no individual division of the company can qualify for STI payouts unless the total group EBITDA target is 

also reached. In this case however, the Board has taken the view that the achievements of the CFE team should be recognised and 

rewarded and has exercised its discretion to award a target level STI payout to Hans Miete (CEO Europe) and 60% of target level STI 

payout to David Timm (CMO), both of whom are KMP based in Amsterdam, and to also make discretionary target level STI payouts to 

around 57 CFE Restaurant Support Centre staff and above-store employees in the Netherlands. 

Whilst no discretionary STI payouts were requested by, nor will be made to, Australian based KMP or members of the senior executive 

team, the board has agreed with senior management that a discretionary STI payout, at 50% of award target level, will also be 

granted to 116 Australian Restaurant Support Centre staff and above-store employees for their contribution to earnings results in FY23 

– earnings results which did not reach target levels set at the start of the year but which were nevertheless outstanding in the 

prevailing market conditions.  

With regard to Long Term Incentive (LTI) Plan entitlements for eligible KMP, there will be no vesting during FY24 of performance rights 

granted in FY21 for the performance period of FY21, FY22 and FY23. Under the Plan rules, vesting levels are calculated against a table 

of annualised compound earnings-per-share growth hurdles across the three year performance period, and the threshold hurdle 

level was not met for this FY21 to FY23 performance period. 

For FY24 some changes have been made to executive remuneration components and their links to performance outcomes. Full 

details of FY24 STI and LTI Plans are set out in the Remuneration Report.  

In summary, the STI Plan will measure EBITDA performance against a pre-determined target level and award scale. EBITDA will be the 

single performance metric for FY24 STI Plan outcomes. Guest experience survey (GES) results, which have previously determined 15% 

of STI performance outcomes, will be temporarily excluded from STI results in FY24 only, while we investigate and trial, in conjunction 

with Yum!, alternative and more contemporary customer satisfaction measurement options. It is intended that this very important 

metric will return in FY25. With respect to ESG performance, we will continue, in FY24, to apply a downward “modifier” of up to 15% of 

STI entitlements earned for EBITDA performance if, in the Board’s view, satisfactory progress has not been maintained towards 

reaching 2026 ESG targets. Finally, we have made a small adjustment to STI payout tables which returns the payout threshold to 95% 

of EBITDA target, albeit at lower payout levels than previously applied between 95% and 100% of target. 

No changes have been made to our LTI Plan. The measurement period for performance rights granted at the start of FY22 ends at 

the conclusion of FY24, and for the first time will include a second performance measure of Relative Total Shareholder Return, 

contributing a 50% weighting alongside the compound EPS growth measure which has been the sole measure to date. 

Whilst the challenges of FY23 have limited our ability to achieve all the growth hurdles we set for ourselves at the start of the year, the 

commitment and dedication of the Collins Foods’ team has never wavered and on behalf of the Board and management team I 

am delighted to share that we have now launched a new employee Ownership Share Plan targeted at Collins Foods’ Restaurant 

Managers and Restaurant Support Centre employees in Australia and Europe. The Plan is in keeping with Collins Foods’ values of 

“Ownership” and “People at the Heart”. Eligible employees will receive performance rights over a five year period, aligned to their 

role level, of up to a total value of $10,000, providing them with the opportunity to share in the company’s success over the medium 

to long term.

Dear Shareholders 

Following record revenue and underlying earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA) in FY21 and FY22, Collins Foods 
Limited total group revenues from continuing operations in FY23 increased by 14.1% to $1,348.6 million, total group pre AASB 16 
underlying EBITDA fell by 4.6% to $141.4 million, and pre AASB 16 underlying net profit after tax from continuing operations (NPAT) fell 
by 9.4% to $57.9 million. Supply chain issues, and significantly higher than expected and budgeted margin pressures, meant that 
EBITDA growth targets set at the start of the year within our Short Term Incentive (STI) Plan were not met for KFC Australia, Taco Bell 
Australia and total group. As a result, no STI payouts were triggered for Australian based Key Management Personnel (KMP), senior 
executives, or support staff.  

Our Collins Foods Europe team (CFE), however, did reach and exceed its FY23 EBITDA target which had two components. One

Overview of Remuneration Governance Framework and Strategy 

The performance of the Group is contingent upon the calibre of its Directors and Executives. The Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee (RNC) is accountable for making recommendations to the Board on the Group’s remuneration framework. 

Total Reward (TR) which represents the sum of the above elements consisting of TFR, an annual incentive (STI) and a long 

term incentive (LTI) having regard to market practice, internal relativity and key drivers of shareholder returns; 

The framework has been developed to support the following key principles: 

•  enable the Company to attract and retain capable and experienced Directors and Executives who create value for 

shareholders; 

• 

reward the achievement of both annual and long term performance objectives appropriate to the Company's 
circumstances and goals; 

• 

transparency; 

•  demonstrate a clear relationship between performance and remuneration; 

•  motivate the KMP Executives to pursue sustainable growth and innovation aligned with shareholder’s interests; 

•  have a key focus on prevailing market conditions; and 

• 

reward all levels of staff, reflecting both equity of treatment and fairness to shareholders. 

In carrying out its accountabilities, the RNC is authorised to obtain external professional advice as it determines necessary. As at 
the end of the reporting period, the RNC was comprised of Non-executive Directors only, with a majority being independent. 
The role and accountabilities of the committee are outlined in the RNC Charter, available on the Company’s website together 
with other remuneration governance policies. 

The Board has ultimate accountability for signing off on remuneration policies, practices and outcomes. 

The RNC operated in accordance with the aims and aspirations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate 
Governance Principles and Recommendations (Principles and Recommendations) and seeks input regarding remuneration 
governance from a wide range of sources. These include shareholders, RNC members, stakeholder groups including proxy 
advisors, external remuneration consultants, other experts and professionals such as tax advisors and lawyers and Company 
management to understand roles and issues facing the Company. 

A review of the remuneration framework to accepted market practices and current best practices will be conducted during 
FY24 with any changes anticipated to apply from FY25.

Directors’ report

The following outlines the policy that applies to KMP Executives whose remuneration is structured taking into consideration the 
following factors: 

• 

• 

the Group’s key principles governing the remuneration framework and application; 

the level and structure of remuneration elements offered to executives of other publicly listed Australian companies with 
similar financial and operational attributes;

FIXED REMUNERATION 

TFR consists of salary, superannuation contributions and other benefits. Fringe benefits tax on these benefits, where required, is 
incorporated in TFR. 

The Group aims to position KMP Executives generally in the third quartile of benchmarked companies’ remuneration levels and 
above market average, with flexibility to take into account capability, experience, and current and future value to the 
organisation. 

Fixed remuneration for KMP Executives is reviewed annually or on promotion and is benchmarked against market data for 
comparable roles in the market with entities of a similar size. There is no guaranteed increase to fixed remuneration included in 
any KMP Executive’s contract. 

VARIABLE REMUNERATION 

SHORT TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (STIP) 

Incentives under the Group’s STIP are at risk components of remuneration provided in the form of cash. 

The STIP entitles KMP Executives to earn an annual cash reward payment if predefined targets are achieved. The level of the 
incentive is set with reference to role accountabilities and Group performance. 

All KMP Executives were offered a target based STI opportunity equivalent to 50% of Base Salary for target performance, with a 
maximum opportunity of up to 75% of Base Salary.  

Short term incentive performance metrics 

FY23 and FY24 STIP 

The Board determined that, for FY23, two metrics were to be used to determine awards under the Company’s STIP – EBITDA and 
Guest Experience Survey (GES). For FY23, a minimum hurdle criterion of 100% of EBITDA as measured against the Company 
Group level was required for further eligibility to participate in the STIP. EBITDA calculations for the purpose of calculating 
incentives payable under the STIP continue to be assessed on a pre AASB 16 basis. The GES measure was introduced as a 
secondary measure in FY19 reflecting the Group’s core belief that continued improvement in customer experiences with our 
brands and our people will underpin our potential for future growth. 

The GES is currently the global KFC and Taco Bell measure of real customer experiences. It directly relates to customer feedback 
targeting executional areas such as food quality, speed of service, hospitality, cleanliness and maintenance of facilities. The 
GES program is currently the franchisor’s global barometer of executional excellence and is administered by an independent 
third party provider engaged by the Franchisor.  

As a result of its annual review of the remuneration framework in FY23 and in recognition of changes to the method by which 
customer experience data is provided to businesses (for example, multiple e-commerce channels), the Board has now 
determined that it is appropriate to consider more relevant methods of measuring real customer experiences and during FY24 
will investigate and trial, in conjunction with Yum!, alternative customer satisfaction measurement options to be used from FY25. 
As a result, and for the FY24 period only, EBITDA will be the sole metric for the STI plan.  

The Environmental Social Governance (ESG) metric that was introduced for FY22 was removed for FY23, as the Board 
determined that it would be applied as a modifier of up to 15% of the STI opportunity and at risk should satisfactory progress not 
be made towards reaching the 2026 ESG targets. This modifier will remain for FY24. 

Collins Foods’ 2023 Sustainability Report sets out its Positive Impact Strategy that is structured around three key pillars related to 
its Australian operations: People and Communities, Planet and Governance with three primary goals to be achieved by 2026: 

•  establish Collins Foods Giving as best-in-class signature program with 75% plus enrolment compared to FY21; 

• 

• 

reduce our carbon footprint by achieving a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to FY21; 

increase diversion of waste from landfill by 25% compared to FY22.  

Impact of non-financial performance 

The Board has the discretion to withdraw in full or adjust downwards, STI and LTI outcomes, in the event of mismanagement or 
failures in governance, risk management, regulatory compliance, conduct and behaviours that breach the Collins Foods Group 
Code of Conduct, which the Board deems may have had a deleterious effect on the Collins Foods brand, reputation, 
employees, customers and shareholder value. Examples of failures include, but are not limited to wage non-compliance,

Delivery method for STI 

Calculations are performed and payments made following the end of the measurement period and the external audit of the 
Group’s annual audited financial report. Payments are made with PAYG deducted. 

Board discretion 

 STI Plan rules state that no individual division of the Group or its KMP qualify for STI payouts unless the total Group EBITDA target is 
reached. Whilst the Group target was not reached in FY23, the Board has exercised its discretion to recognise the performance 
of Collins Foods Europe in relation to its implementation and achievement of performance milestones associated with the CFA 
in the Netherlands.

Directors’ report 

Remuneration rEport  

Accordingly, STI payments have been granted to the CEO – CF Europe and CMO. The STI reward for the CMO did not include 
any payment related to Taco Bell. 

Forfeiture 

STI is forfeited in the event of cessation of employment due to dismissal for cause, for reasons other than for cause and where 
the employee terminates their employment prior to the actual payment of the STI, fraud, defalcation, or gross misconduct by 
the participant. 

LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTIP) 

Currently, the LTIP is an annually offered at risk equity component of remuneration for KMP Executives and nominated senior 
Executives ensuring that their interests in enhancing the mid to longer term growth potential of the Company are aligned with 
the interests of shareholders. 

Long Term Incentive Performance metrics 

Form of equity 

The LTIP is in the form of a performance rights plan. Rights awarded are subject to three year performance hurdles and service 
vesting conditions. The performance rights confer the right (following valid conversion) to the value of a share at the time, either 
settled in shares that may be issued or settled in the form of cash at the discretion of the Board (a feature intended to ensure 
appropriate outcomes in the case of separation). There is no entitlement to dividends during the measurement period. 

LTI value 

The Board retains discretion to determine the value of LTI to be offered each reporting period, subject to shareholder approval 
in relation to Directors. 

For performance rights to be granted in FY24 with a performance period including FY24, FY25 and FY26, the number of 
performance rights granted will be based upon a dollar value divided by the volume weighted average share price (VWAP) 
five trading days before and five trading days after the announcement of the Company’s audited financial results. This VWAP 
basis of measurement is consistent with prior year. 

Measurement period 

The measurement period will include three reporting periods unless otherwise determined by the Board. Measurement periods 
of three years combined with annual grants will produce overlapping cycles that will promote a focus on producing long term 
sustainable performance/value improvement and mitigates the risk of manipulation and short-termism. 

The measurement period for FY23 offers commenced 2 May 2022 and ends 27 April 2025 for the performance period of FY23, 
FY24 and FY25. The measurement period for FY24 offers commences on 1 May 2023 and ends 3 May 2026 for the performance 
period of FY24, FY25 and FY26. 

Vesting conditions 

The Board has discretion to set vesting conditions for each offer. Performance rights that do not vest will lapse. 

FY23 and FY24 offers 

Consistent with FY22, a second performance condition of Relative TSR is included for the FY23 grant under the LTIP. 

Compound EPS growth will be measured by calculating the compound growth in the Company’s underlying (pre AASB 16) 
basic EPS over the performance period. The underlying (pre AASB 16) basic EPS is disclosed in the Operating and Financial 
Review of the Directors Report within the Group’s annual audited financial reports and will continue as a performance measure 
under the LTIP. The weighting for the EPS hurdle is 50% of the total award. 

The Board retains a discretion to adjust the EPS performance condition to ensure that participants are not penalised nor 
provided with a windfall benefit arising from matters outside of management’s control that affect EPS (for example, excluding 
one-off non-recurrent items or the impact of significant acquisitions or disposals). 

The threshold and target EPS growth hurdles remain unchanged from FY22. No changes to the LTIP measures or targets, 
thresholds or award scales are intended for FY24. 

The following vesting scale applied to the performance rights offered in FY23 and will apply to performance rights offered in 
FY24:

REMUNERATION  REPORT (CONTINUED)

Directors’ report 

Remuneration rEport  

The TSR hurdle is based on a VWAP benchmark of ten trading days either side of the 2022 results announcement on 28 June 
2022. Measurement will be against the VWAP benchmark ten days either side of the announcement of our financial results in 
late June 2025. The Board has determined that the ASX 200 Index is sufficiently broad to measure relativity from the start of the 
performance period (2 May 2022). The weighting for the TSR hurdle is 50% of the total award. 

Relative TSR performance will be tested at the same time as Compound EPS Growth in accordance with the following vesting 
schedule: 

Relative TSR of Collins Foods Limited 

Proportion of performance rights to vest 

At or above the 75th percentile 

100% 

Between the 50th percentile and 75th percentile 

3% for each 1% > 50%, < 75% 

At the 50th percentile 

Below the 50th percentile 

25% 

0% 

Retesting 

The plan rules do not contemplate retesting and therefore retesting is not a feature of the Company’s current LTIP offers. 

Amount payable for performance rights 

No amount is payable for performance rights. The value of rights is included in assessments of remuneration benchmarking and 
policy positioning. 

Conversion of vested performance rights 

Under the plan rules, the conversion of performance rights to shares occurs automatically upon vesting conditions being 
declared by the Board as having been met, except where the Board exercises its discretion to settle in the form of cash. Vesting 
is determined following receipt of the audited accounts for the relevant performance periods. 

No amount is payable by participants to exercise vested performance rights in respect of any grants. 

Disposal restrictions and other related matters 

The Company may impose a mandatory holding lock on the shares or a participant may request they be subject to a voluntary 
holding lock. 

Performance rights are not entitled to receive a dividend. Any shares issued or transferred to a participant upon vesting of 
performance rights are only entitled to dividends if they were issued on or before the relevant dividend record date. 

Shares issued or transferred under the LTIP rank equally in all respects with other shares on issue. 

In the event of a capital reconstruction of the Company (consolidation, subdivision, reduction, cancellation or return), the terms 
of any outstanding performance rights will be amended by the Board to the extent necessary to comply with the listing rules at 
the time of reconstruction. 

Any bonus issue of securities by way of capitalisation of profits, reserves or share capital account will confer on each 
performance right, the right: 

• 

to receive on exercise or vesting of those performance rights, not only an allotment of one share for each of the 
performance rights exercised or vested but also an allotment of the additional shares and/or other securities the employee 
would have received had the employee participated in that bonus issue as a holder of shares of a number equal to the 
shares that would have been allotted to the employee had they exercised those Incentives or the performance rights had 
vested immediately before the date of the bonus issue; and 

• 

to have profits, reserves or share premium account, as the case may be, applied in paying up in full those additional shares 
and/or other securities. 

Subject to a reconstruction or bonus issue, performance rights do not carry the right to participate in any new issue of securities 
including pro-rata issues. 

Performance rights will not be quoted on ASX. The Company will apply for quotation of any shares issued under the LTIP. 

Cessation of employment 

In the event of cessation of employment within 12 months of the date of grant, unvested performance rights are forfeited. In the 
event of cessation of employment after 12 months but before the conclusion of the vesting period, unvested performance rights 
are considered forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Board, in which case any service condition will be deemed to 
have been fulfilled as at the testing date and the performance rights remain subject to performance testing along with other 
participants. It is noted that the Board has discretion to allow “Good Leavers” to retain their participation in the LTIP beyond the 
date of cessation of employment when deemed appropriate to the circumstances. 

Change of control of the Company 

If in the opinion of the Board a change of control event has occurred, or is likely to occur, the Board may declare a 
performance right to be free of any vesting conditions and, if so, the Company must issue or transfer shares in accordance with 
the LTIP rules. In exercising its discretion, the Board will consider whether measurement of the vesting conditions (on a pro-rata 
basis) up to the date of the change of control event is  appropriate in the circumstances.

MIX OF BASE SALARY AND INCENTIVES BASED REMUNERATION AND PROPORTIONALITY 

The Board continually reviews the remuneration mix for the Managing Director & CEO and other KMP Executives. As such, there 
were increases in other KMP Executives LTI vesting rates in FY22, with no changes to the Managing Director & CEO’s 
remuneration mix. The remuneration mix for FY23 is consistent with FY22. 

The following table shows the range of remuneration mix that was offered for current KMP Executives during FY23, for target 
performance.

The Board considers that the remuneration mix for the Managing Director & CEO and other KMP Executives (Base Salary, STI and 
LTI) in FY23 resulted in appropriately weighted remuneration to: 

•  align executive remuneration practices with accepted market practices and current best-practices; 

•  motivate executives to continuously grow shareholder value by aligning their interests with those of shareholders through 

equity ownership; and 

•  manage the risk of short-termism inherent in fixed remuneration and short-term incentives by exposing a significant 

proportion of remuneration to the longer term consequences of decision making.  

There are no changes for the mix of Base Salary, STI and LTI for FY24 for the Managing Director & CEO and other KMP Executives. 
As indicated above, a review of the remuneration framework to accepted market practices and current best practices will be 
conducted during FY24 with the assistance of an independent third party with any changes anticipated to apply from FY25.

(1)  The LTI value reported in this table is the amortised accounting charge of all grants that were not lapsed or vested at the start of the reporting period measured in 

accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment. Where a market-based measure of performance is used such as TSR, no adjustments can be made to reflect actual 
LTI vesting. However, in relation to non-market conditions, such as EPS, adjustments must be made to ensure the accounting charge matches the number vested. 

(2)  Excludes change in accrued leave balance. 

(3)  The changes in accrued leave are measured in accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits. 

(4)  FY23 salary converted at exchange rate of AUD $1: EURO €0.6516 (FY22: AUD $1: EURO €0.6393). 

(5)  Appointed Chief Operating Officer – KFC Australia effective 25 June 2021. 

(6)  Appointed Chief Marketing Officer effective 1 January 2022. 

(7)  FY23 salary converted at exchange rate of AUD $1: GBP £0.5657 (FY22: AUD $1: GBP £0.5501). 

(8)  Termination benefits are accrued obligations as at 30 April 2023. The Group CFO resignation is effective 14 July 2023. 

Both target and awarded values of STI and LTI remuneration are outlined in the relevant sections of the Remuneration Report to 
assist shareholders to obtain a more complete understanding of remuneration as it relates to KMP Executives.

(1)  The Board has determined that in FY23, ESG will be used as a modifier, where up to 15% of STI will be at risk for non-achievement of ESG related activities. In FY23, the 

Board did not use this modifier as the 100% hurdle relating to EBITDA was not achieved, therefore, no STI was payable. 

(2)  The Board has determined that a discretionary bonus of 100% of STI opportunity will be paid. 

(3)  The Board has determined that a discretionary bonus of 60% of STI opportunity will be paid. 

For the purposes of the STI awarded in FY23, pre AASB 16 underlying EBITDA was adjusted for non-trading items relating to: 
acquisition, integration and simplification of company structure costs relating to Europe, Taco Bell impairments and provision for 
store closure costs and capital costs incurred on digital menu boards totalling $7.9 million, to calculate the STI performance 
outcomes.

Directors’ report 

Remuneration rEport

gain on sale of land, FX movements on dividend received, fair value gain on debt modification, Netherlands acquisition costs 
and KFC Europe provisions for restaurant closures, totalling $3.4 million, to calculate the STI performance outcomes. 

LONG TERM INCENTIVES

period of FY21, FY22 and FY23 (FY21 Grant). The performance period for the FY21 Grant commenced on 4 May 2020 and ended 
on 30 April 2023 (Vesting Rights). Based upon the EPS growth achieved over the three year performance period (FY21 – FY23),

ending on 30 April 2023. 

In relation to the completion of the reporting period, previous grants of equity made under the LTI plan during FY22 on

VESTING RIGHTS FOR THE OUTGOING GROUP CFO AND OTHER PAYMENTS 

Performance rights 

On 24 March 2023, a change to the Group CFO was announced by the Company. In consideration of the outgoing Group 
CFO, Nigel Williams remaining with the Company until 14 July 2023 to support the Company with the release of its full year results 
and to facilitate a transition of his responsibilities, the Board considers him to be a ‘good leaver’. Accordingly, the Board has 
determined that Nigel Williams’ participation in the LTIP will continue after 14 July 2023 on a pro rata basis for unvested 
performance rights he was previously granted.  Those performance rights are: 

•  30,981 performance rights granted in FY21 for the performance period of FY21, FY22 and FY23. The threshold performance 

level for these rights was not achieved over the performance period and the rights have expired; 

•  41,102 performance rights granted in FY22 for the performance period of FY22, FY23 and FY24. These rights are eligible for 

vesting in FY25 and Nigel will retain 66.66%, or 27,398 performance rights (vesting above); 

•  50,982 performance rights granted in FY23 for the performance period of FY23, FY24 and FY25. These rights are eligible for 

vesting in FY26 and Nigel will retain 33.33%, or 16,992 performance rights.  

There is no acceleration of the rights granted in FY21 as the performance was not achieved. For the rights granted in FY22 and 
FY23, those retained rights have been accelerated and expensed in the current year which is then offset by the reversal of 
previously recognised forfeited rights.  

That is, in line with the position for all other holders of the above performance rights, vesting would not occur until the 
performance period had been completed, and only if vesting rights have been triggered. The Board also considered that in line 
with all other performance rights holders, a voluntary lock would not be applied to any shares issued if any performance rights 
were to vest in the future. 

Other payments 

As announced on 24 March 2023, the Group CFO, Nigel Williams, will be stepping down from his role.  

The Board has agreed that the following payments will also be paid to the Group CFO:

REMUNERATION  REPORT (CONTINUED)

Non-executive Director fee rates and fee limit 

NON-EXECTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION 

The remuneration for Non-executive Directors is set taking into consideration factors including: 

• 

the level of fees paid to Board members of other publicly listed Australian companies of similar size; 

•  operational and regulatory complexity; and 

• 

the accountabilities and workload requirements of each Board member.  

Non-executive Directors’ remuneration comprises the following components: 

•  board and committee fees; and 

• 

superannuation (compulsory contributions). 

Board fees are structured by having regard to the accountabilities of each role fulfilled by a Director within the Board. The 
Company’s constitution allows for additional payments to be made to Directors where extra or special services are provided. 

Non-executive Director fees are managed within the current annual fees limit of $1,200,000 which was approved by 
shareholders at the 2019 Annual General Meeting. 

The following table outlines the Non-executive Director fee rates that were applicable during the reported period:

REMUNERATION  REPORT (CONTINUED)

Group Securities Trading Policy 

Directors’ report 

Remuneration rEport  

The Group Securities Trading Policy is available on the Company’s website. It contains the standard references to insider trading 
restrictions that are a legal requirement under the Corporations Act, as well as conditions associated with good corporate 
governance. The Group Securities Trading Policy follows the recommendations set out in ASX Guidance Note 27, ‘Trading 
Policies’. The policy specifies ‘trading windows’ during which Directors and restricted employees of the Company may trade in 
the securities of the Company. It requires Directors and restricted employees to obtain prior written clearance for any trading in 
the Company’s securities and prohibits trading at all other times unless an exception is granted following an assessment of the 
circumstances (for example financial hardship). Trading windows remain open for 30 days. The first day of the trading window is 
the trading day after each of the following events: 

•  announcement to ASX of the Company’s full or half-year results; 

•  Annual General Meeting; or 

• 

release of a disclosure document offering equity securities in the Company. 

The Board may suspend all dealings in the Company’s securities at any time, should it be appropriate. 

Securities Holding Policy 

The Board currently sees a Securities Holding Policy as unnecessary since executives receive a significant component of 
remuneration in the form of equity. All of the Directors hold equity in the Company voluntarily. The Company’s constitution states 
that Directors are not required to be a shareholder in order to be appointed as a director. The Board continues to encourage 
executives to hold vested LTIs post vesting, to support ongoing alignment. 

Remuneration Consultant Engagement policy 

The Company has adopted a Remuneration Consultant (RC) Engagement Policy which is intended to manage the interactions 
between the Company and RCs. This is to support the independence of the RNC and provide clarity regarding the extent of 
any interactions between management and the RC. This policy enables the Board to state with confidence whether the advice 
received has been independent, and why that view is held. The Policy states that RCs are to be approved and engaged by the 
Board before any advice is received, and that such advice may only be provided to an independent Non-executive Director. 
Any interactions between management and the RC must be approved and overseen by the RNC. 

Other remuneration related matters 

There were no loans to Directors or other KMP at any time during the reporting period, and no relevant material transactions 
involving KMP other than compensation and transactions concerning shares and performance rights as discussed in this report. 

Most recent AGM – Remuneration Report comments and voting 

At the most recent AGM in 2022: 99.12% of votes cast at the meeting in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report. 

External remuneration consultant advice 

From time to time, the Board engages the services of external remuneration consultants.  During the reporting period, the Board 
did not engage an external remuneration consultant to provide KMP remuneration recommendations and advice.  

To ensure that KMP remuneration recommendations are free from undue influence from the KMP to whom they relate, the 
Company has established policies and procedures governing engagements with external remuneration consultants. The key 
aspects include: 

•  as legally required, KMP remuneration recommendations may only be received from consultants who have been approved 

by the Board. Before such approval is given and before each engagement the Board ensures that the consultant is 
independent of KMP. 

•  as required by law, KMP remuneration recommendations are only received by non-executive directors, mainly, the Chair of 

the RNC. 

• 

the policy seeks to ensure that the Board controls any engagement by management of Board approved remuneration 
consultants to provide advice other than KMP remuneration recommendations and any interactions between management 
and external remuneration consultants when undertaking work leading to KMP remuneration recommendations. 

The Board is satisfied that the above policies ensure any KMP remuneration recommendations are received free from undue 
influence from KMP to whom the recommendations related. The Board remains closely involved in all dealings with the external 
remuneration consultants and each KMP remuneration recommendation received during a reporting period would be 
accompanied by a legal declaration from the consultant to the effect that their advice was provided free from undue 
influence from the KMP to whom the recommendations related.

Directors’ report 

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)

Indemnification and insurance of officers 

The Company’s Constitution provides that it must in the case of a person who is or has been a Director or Secretary of the 
Group and may in the case of an officer of the Company, indemnify them against liabilities incurred (whilst acting as such 
officers) and the legal costs of that person to the extent permitted by law. During the period, the Company has entered into a 
Deed of Indemnity, Insurance and Access with each of the Company’s Directors, executives and Company Secretary.  

No Director or officer of the Company has received benefits under an indemnity from the Company during or since the end of 
the period. 

The Company has paid a premium for insurance for officers of the Group. The cover provided by the insurance contract is 
customary for this type of insurance policy. Details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of the premium paid in 
respect of this insurance contract are not disclosed as such disclosure is prohibited under the insurance contract. 

Proceedings on behalf of the Company 

No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Company with leave of the Court under section 237 of 
the Corporations Act 2001. 

Non-audit services 

During the period, the Company’s Auditor (PricewaterhouseCoopers) performed other services in addition to its audit 
responsibilities. Whilst their main role is to provide audit services to the Company, the Company does employ their specialist 
advice where appropriate. 

The Board of Directors has considered the position and, in accordance with advice received from the Audit and Risk 
Committee (ARC), is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of 
independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit 
services by the auditor, as set out below, did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001 for the following reasons: 

• all non-audit services have been reviewed by the ARC to ensure they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the

auditor; and

• none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence, including not reviewing or auditing

the auditor’s own work, not acting in a management or a decision making capacity for the Company, not acting as
advocate for the Company, or not jointly sharing economic risk or rewards.

maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the 
operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director & CEO.  

DESCRIPTION OF SEGMENTS  

Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Managing Director & CEO that 
are used to make strategic decisions. Three reportable segments have been identified: KFC Restaurants Australia, KFC 
Restaurants Europe and Taco Bell Restaurants, all competing in the quick service restaurant market. 

Other includes Shared Services which performs a number of administrative and management functions for the Group’s 
restaurants, as well as the operating segment of Sizzler Asia Restaurants. This segment is not separately reportable due to its

OTHER SEGMENT INFORMATION 

Segment revenue 

There are no sales between segments. The revenue from external parties reported to the Board is measured in a manner 

consistent with that in the Consolidated Income Statement. 

Revenue from external customers is derived from the sale of food in KFC and Taco Bell restaurants, franchise fees and royalties 

from Sizzler Asia restaurants and service fees relating to the CFA in Europe. 

The Board assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of Underlying EBITDA. This measurement 

basis excludes the effects of costs associated with acquisitions (refer to Note A2). It also excludes impairment of property, plant, 

equipment, franchise rights, brand assets, goodwill and leases to the extent they are isolated non-recurring events plus any 

other non-recurring items. Net finance costs (including the impact of derivative financial instruments) are not allocated to 

segments as this type of activity is driven by the central treasury function, which manages the cash position of the Group. 

A reconciliation of Underlying EBITDA to profit/(loss) from operations before income tax is provided as follows: 

Underlying EBITDA 

Finance costs 

Depreciation 

Amortisation 

Acquisition and operational integration costs expensed 

Impairment of property, plant and equipment 

Impairment of intangible assets 

Impairment of right-of-use assets

CURRENT PERIOD 

KFC RESTAURANTS (AUSTRALIA) – SUMMARY OF ACQUISITION (GRIFFITH) 

On 3 May 2022, Collins Restaurants South Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Collins Foods Limited, entered into a Business Sale 
Agreement to acquire the KFC Griffith restaurant from Shayden Nominees Pty Ltd as Trustee for the C&M Income Trust. The 
Group paid $7.6 million for the acquisition.

market.

the VWAP of Collins Foods Limited (ASX Ticker: CKF) for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the date of the Agreement. 

The fair values of the assets and liabilities of the business acquired as at the date of acquisition are as follows: 

Cash and cash equivalents

The goodwill is attributable to the workforce and access to an established market with opportunities for future expansion. 

Acquisition related costs 

The acquisition related costs have been recognised in the Group's Consolidated Income Statement (Other expenses) and in 
operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (Payments to suppliers and employees). 

Revenue is recognised when performance obligations under relevant customer contracts are completed. Performance 

obligations may be completed at a point in time or over time.  

In the following table revenue is disaggregated by type and by timing of revenue recognition.  

No single customer amounts to 10% or more of the consolidated entity’s total external revenue.

The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be amended during the measurement period, however, 
management did not identify any changes from the provisional amounts recognised during the reporting period to 30 April 
2023. 

The acquired business contributed revenues of $4.8 million and Underlying EBITDA of $0.6 million for the period the restaurant 
was owned, up to 30 April 2023. 

If the acquisition had occurred on 2 May 2022, the consolidated revenue from Continuing operations and consolidated 
Underlying EBITDA for the reporting period ending 30 April 2023 would have been $1,349.1 million and $208.1 million respectively.

PRIOR PERIOD 

On 1 June 2021, Collins Foods Netherlands Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Collins Foods Limited, acquired 100% of the 

share capital of KFC Taupo Lelystad. Details of this business combination were disclosed in note A2 of the Group’s annual 

financial statements for the year ended 1 May 2022. 

On 1 July 2021, Collins Foods Netherlands Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Collins Foods Limited, acquired five KFC 

restaurants located in the Netherlands. Details of this business combination were disclosed in note A2 of the Group’s annual 

financial statements for the year ended 1 May 2022. 

On 31 December 2021, Collins Foods Netherlands Management B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Collins Foods Limited, 

entered into a Framework Agreement to acquire the business assets and assumed liabilities from KFC Europe SARL. Details of this 

business combination were disclosed in note A2 of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 1 May 2022.  

On 1 February 2022, Collins Foods Operations B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Collins Foods Limited, acquired nine KFC 

restaurants in the Netherlands. Details of this business combination were disclosed in note A2 of the Group’s annual financial 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments 

or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued, or liabilities incurred or 

assumed at the date of exchange. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their 

published market price as at the date of exchange unless other valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair 

value. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair 

value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets. Transaction costs arising on 

the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity. Transaction costs arising from business combinations are 

expensed as incurred. 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at 

their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The excess of the cost of 

acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of 

acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the 

Consolidated Income Statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets 

acquired. 

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their 

present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at 

which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. 

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are 

subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

PRIOR PERIOD 

On 1 June 2021, Collins Foods Netherlands Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Collins Foods Limited, acquired 100% of the

On 1 July 2021, Collins Foods Netherlands Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Collins Foods Limited, acquired five KFC

ACCOUNTING POLICY  

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments 
or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued, or liabilities incurred or 
assumed at the date of exchange. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their 
published market price as at the date of exchange unless other valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair 
value. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair 
value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets. Transaction costs arising on 
the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity. Transaction costs arising from business combinations are 
expensed as incurred. 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at 
their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The excess of the cost of 
acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of 
acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the 
Consolidated Income Statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets 
acquired. 

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their 
present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at 
which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. 

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are 
subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. 

A3: Revenue 

Revenue is recognised when performance obligations under relevant customer contracts are completed. Performance 
obligations may be completed at a point in time or over time.  

In the following table revenue is disaggregated by type and by timing of revenue recognition.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

A3: Revenue continued 

Franchise agreements entitle the Group to two streams of revenue: 

• 

franchise fees: revenue relating to franchise fees is recognised over time. The transaction price allocated to these services is 

recognised as a contract liability at the time of the commencement of the contract and is released on a straight-line basis 

over the period of the contract; and 

• 

sales-based royalties: revenue relating to sales-based royalties is recognised as the subsequent sale occurs. 

Accounting for costs to fulfil a contract 

Costs that relate directly to a contract with customers, generate resources used in satisfying the contract and are expected to 

be recovered are capitalised as costs to fulfil a contract. The asset is amortised at a pattern consistent with the recognition of 

the associated revenue. 

CFA revenue  

CFA revenue entitles the Group to one stream of revenue: 

•  Management service fee revenue: revenue relating to the satisfaction of a single performance obligation: managing and 

growing the KFC brand in the Netherlands. The revenue is recognised over time as the respective services are delivered. 

In satisfying the above performance obligation, the following funds are received by the Group in their capacity as agent: 

•  Marketing fees: funds received for advertising contributions received for the marketing of the business in the Netherlands.  

•  Supply chain fees: funds received for the management of the Netherlands Supply Chain services.  

•  Digital and eCommerce fees: for the management of the Digital and eCommerce services.  

• 

Learning zone fee: received for the provision of Learning and Development services.  

All CFA revenue arises in Europe. 

Financing components 

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to 

the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the 

transaction prices for the time value of money.

 The Sizzler Asia business has been classified as held for sale at 30 April 2023. All revenue for the Sizzler Asia business are included in Note F1. 

ACCOUNTING POLICY  

Sale of goods 

The Group operates a number of quick service and casual dining restaurants. The revenue from the sale of food and beverages 
from these restaurants is recognised when the Group sells a product to the customer. Payment of the transaction price is due 
immediately when the customer purchases the food and beverages. 

Sale of goods – customer loyalty program 

The Taco Bell brand within the Group operates a loyalty program where retail customers accumulate points for purchases 
made, which entitle them to discounts on future purchases. Revenue from the award points is recognised when the points are 
redeemed or when they expire 12 months after the initial sale. 

A contract liability is recognised until the points are redeemed or expire. 

Critical judgements in allocating the transaction price 

The points provide a material right to customers that they would not receive without entering into a contract. Therefore, the 
promise to provide points to the customer is a separate performance obligation. The transaction price is allocated to the 
product and the points on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. 

Management estimates the stand-alone selling price per point on the basis of the discount granted when the points are 
redeemed and on the likelihood of redemption, which is based on industry knowledge given there is insufficient historical 
experience to draw upon at this stage of the brand in Australia. 

Franchise revenue 

The Sizzler segment of the Group is the franchisor of the Sizzler brand in Asia. Franchise agreements are entered into where the 
Group allocates the right to external parties to use the Sizzler name and associated intellectual property. These contracts run for 
a 20 year period, with a right to renewal for an additional 20 years.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

A3: Revenue continued 

Franchise agreements entitle the Group to two streams of revenue: 

• 

franchise fees: revenue relating to franchise fees is recognised over time. The transaction price allocated to these services is 
recognised as a contract liability at the time of the commencement of the contract and is released on a straight-line basis 
over the period of the contract; and 

• 

sales-based royalties: revenue relating to sales-based royalties is recognised as the subsequent sale occurs. 

Accounting for costs to fulfil a contract 

Costs that relate directly to a contract with customers, generate resources used in satisfying the contract and are expected to 
be recovered are capitalised as costs to fulfil a contract. The asset is amortised at a pattern consistent with the recognition of 
the associated revenue. 

CFA revenue  

CFA revenue entitles the Group to one stream of revenue: 

•  Management service fee revenue: revenue relating to the satisfaction of a single performance obligation: managing and 
growing the KFC brand in the Netherlands. The revenue is recognised over time as the respective services are delivered. 

In satisfying the above performance obligation, the following funds are received by the Group in their capacity as agent: 

•  Marketing fees: funds received for advertising contributions received for the marketing of the business in the Netherlands.  

•  Supply chain fees: funds received for the management of the Netherlands Supply Chain services.  

•  Digital and eCommerce fees: for the management of the Digital and eCommerce services.  

• 

Learning zone fee: received for the provision of Learning and Development services.  

All CFA revenue arises in Europe. 

Financing components 

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to 
the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the 
transaction prices for the time value of money.

ACCOUNTING POLICY  

For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand, at call deposits with banks or 
financial institutions, and other short-term, highly liquid investments in money market instruments that are readily convertible to 
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(1)  $845,000 (2022: $845,000) of the working capital facility has been used for bank guarantees rather than drawn down cash funding. In addition, an amount of $573,000 

(2022: $1,101,000) relating to capitalised fees is not included in the above figures, but included in the total Borrowings amount on the Balance Sheet. 

A subsidiary of the Company, CFG Finance Pty Limited, is the primary borrower under a Syndicated Facility Agreement. The 

Syndicated Facility Agreement includes bank loan facilities (Revolving Bank Loans) and a Working Capital Facility Agreement 

(Working Capital Facility). On 14 September 2021, the Group entered into a new Syndicated Facility Agreement for a total of 

$200 million and €120 million, which includes both the bank loan facilities and working capital facilities. The new term of the 

facility is a blend of maturities with $120 million and €75 million maturing on 31 October 2024 and the remaining $80 million and 

€45 million expiring on 31 October 2026. 

FACILITIES  

The Revolving Bank Loans and Working Capital Facility are subject to certain financial covenants and restrictions such as net 

leverage ratios, interest cover ratios and others which management believe are customary for these types of loans. During the 

reporting period ended 30 April 2023, the Group maintained compliance with the financial covenants and restrictions of these 

facilities. The Company and its subsidiaries (other than subsidiaries outside of the Closed Group) were registered guarantors of 

all the obligations in respect of these loan facilities. 

For further information on the Group's borrowings refer to notes C1 and C2. 

ACCOUNTING POLICY  

Bank loans are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at 

amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in 

the Consolidated Income Statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the 

establishment of loan facilities, which are not transaction costs relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are capitalised 

and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility. 

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to 

complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed. 

The Group manages its capital by maintaining a strong capital base. The Group assesses its capital base by reference to its 

leverage ratio, which it defines as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as borrowings (excluding capitalised 

fees) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as total equity as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt. At 

balance date, the net leverage was 47% (2022: 17%).

(1)  $845,000 (2022: $845,000) of the working capital facility has been used for bank guarantees rather than drawn down cash funding. In addition, an amount of $573,000 

(2022: $1,101,000) relating to capitalised fees is not included in the above figures, but included in the total Borrowings amount on the Balance Sheet. 

A subsidiary of the Company, CFG Finance Pty Limited, is the primary borrower under a Syndicated Facility Agreement. The 
Syndicated Facility Agreement includes bank loan facilities (Revolving Bank Loans) and a Working Capital Facility Agreement 
(Working Capital Facility). On 14 September 2021, the Group entered into a new Syndicated Facility Agreement for a total of 
$200 million and €120 million, which includes both the bank loan facilities and working capital facilities. The new term of the 
facility is a blend of maturities with $120 million and €75 million maturing on 31 October 2024 and the remaining $80 million and 
€45 million expiring on 31 October 2026. 

FACILITIES  

The Revolving Bank Loans and Working Capital Facility are subject to certain financial covenants and restrictions such as net 
leverage ratios, interest cover ratios and others which management believe are customary for these types of loans. During the 
reporting period ended 30 April 2023, the Group maintained compliance with the financial covenants and restrictions of these 
facilities. The Company and its subsidiaries (other than subsidiaries outside of the Closed Group) were registered guarantors of 
all the obligations in respect of these loan facilities. 

For further information on the Group's borrowings refer to notes C1 and C2. 

ACCOUNTING POLICY  

Bank loans are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in 
the Consolidated Income Statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the 
establishment of loan facilities, which are not transaction costs relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are capitalised 
and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility. 

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to 
complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed. 

B3: Ratios 

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 

The Group manages its capital by maintaining a strong capital base. The Group assesses its capital base by reference to its 
leverage ratio, which it defines as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as borrowings (excluding capitalised 
fees) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as total equity as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt. At 
balance date, the net leverage was 47% (2022: 17%).

The above amount represents the balance of the franking account as at the end of the reporting period, adjusted for: 

• 

• 

• 

franking credits that will arise from the payment of income tax payable as at the end of the reporting period; 

franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the reporting date; and 

Directors. 

franking credits that may be prevented from being distributed in the subsequent reporting period.   

The consolidated amounts include franking credits that would be available to the parent entity if distributable profits of 
subsidiaries were paid as dividends. 

During FY23, the Group introduced a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP), allowing shareholders with a registered address in 
Australia and New Zealand to reinvest all or part of their dividends into additional fully paid Collins Foods Limited shares. 

In FY23, 256,807 shares were issued to eligible shareholders (2022: nil) with a value of $2,246,493 (2022: nil). Refer to Note D3. 

Since the end of the reporting period, the Directors of the Company have declared the payment of a fully franked final 
dividend of 15.0 cents per ordinary share (2022: 15.0 cents) to be paid on 1 August 2023. The aggregate amount of the dividend 
to be paid on that date, but not recognised as a liability at the end of the reporting period is $17,598,386 (2022: $17,504,417).

(disclosed in Note B2). 

This section provides information relating to the Group’s exposure to financial risks, how they affect the financial position and 

The Board of Directors has delegated specific authorities to the central finance department in relation to financial risk 

management. The finance department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s 

operating units. The Board has provided written policies covering the management of interest rate risk and the use of derivative 

financial instruments. All significant decisions relating to financial risk management require specific approval by the Board of 

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest risk and price risk), credit 

risk and liquidity risk. In addition, the Group manages its capital base. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on 

the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the 

Group. The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risk of changes in interest rates and it utilises Swap Contracts to 

manage its interest rate risk exposure. The use of financial instruments is governed by the Group’s policies approved by the 

Board of Directors and are not entered into for speculative purposes. 

During 2023 and 2022, the financial instruments of the Group and the parent entity were denominated in Australian dollars apart 

from certain bank accounts, trade receivables, trade payables and borrowings in respect of the Group’s Asian and European 

operations which were denominated in foreign currencies at the Group level. In respect of its European operations the Group 

aims to reduce balance sheet translation exposure by borrowing in the currency of its assets (Euro €) as far as practical 

Management has decided not to hedge the foreign currency risk exposure for Asia. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency 

risk is disclosed in the tables below. 

Hedge of net investment in foreign investment 

As at 25 August 2017, €48.3 million of the Euro denominated loan of €48.5 million was designated as the hedging instrument of a 

net investment hedge for the foreign currency risk exposure of €48.3 million of the Euro equity invested in Collins Foods Europe 

Limited (and subsidiaries). Due to a restructure of the European operations during FY23, the European investment is now 

subscribed in Collins Foods Holding Europe Holdings B.V. (and subsidiaries). As at inception in 2017, this hedge was considered to 

be completely effective and there has been no change to this designation as a result of the restructuring of operations. 

Cash flow and interest rate risk 

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to 

cash flow interest rate risk while borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.  

It is the policy of the Group to protect a designated portion of the loans from exposure to increasing interest rates. Accordingly, 

the Group has entered into interest rate swap contracts (Swap Contracts) under which it is obliged to receive interest at 

variable rates and to pay interest at fixed rates. 

Information about the Group's variable rate borrowings, outstanding Swap Contracts and an analysis of maturities at the 

reporting date is disclosed in Notes C1 and C3. 

The Group manages commodity price risk by forward contracting prices on key commodities and by being actively involved in

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments, deposits with banks, other trade receivables 

and receivables from related parties. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and in 

the situation of no independent rating being available, will assess the credit quality of the customer taking into account its 

financial position, past experience and other factors.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

C1: Financial risk management continued 

Trade receivables consist of a small number of customers and ongoing review of outstanding balances is conducted on a 
periodic basis. The balance outstanding (disclosed in Note G4) is not past due, nor impaired (2022: nil past due). The credit risk 
on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited as the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by 
international credit rating agencies. 

Related party transactions are conducted on commercial terms and conditions. Recoverability of these transactions are 
assessed on an ongoing basis. 

Credit risk further arises in relation to financial guarantees given to certain parties (refer to Notes B2 and H1 for details). 

LIQUIDITY RISK 

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve banking facilities by 
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. This approach enables the Group to manage short, medium and long 
term funding and liquidity management as reported in Note B2. Non-interest-bearing liabilities are due within six months. For 
maturities of interest-bearing liabilities and Swap Contracts of the Group, refer to Notes C1 and C3. 

Maturities of financial liabilities 

The tables below analyse the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities 
for: 

•  all non-derivative financial liabilities; and 

•  net and gross settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding 

Interest rate risk exposures – non-current liabilities 

of the timing of the cash flows. 

The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their 
carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant. For Swap Contracts the cash flows have been estimated using 
forward interest rates applicable at the end of each reporting period. Despite Swap Contracts being in a receivable position for 
the current reporting period, they have been included below for comparability to the prior year reporting period.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY 

Judgements and estimates are made in determining the fair values of assets and liabilities that are recognised and measured at 
fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, 
the Group has classified such assets and liabilities into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.  

Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped into Levels 1 to 3, based on 
the degree to which the fair value is observable. The different levels have been identified as follows: 

• 

• 

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as 
prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and 

• 

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). 

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements 
approximate their fair values. 

As at 30 April 2023, the Group has derivative financial instruments which are classified as Level 2 financial instruments. There are 
no Level 1 or Level 3 financial instruments. As at 1 May 2022, the Group had derivative financial instruments which were 
classified as Level 2 financial instruments. 

LEVEL 2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

The fair values of derivative instruments are determined as the estimated amount that the Group and the Company would 
receive or pay to terminate the interest rate swap at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the current interest 
rate. 

VALUATION PROCESSES 

The finance department of the Group engages a third-party expert valuation firm to value the derivative financial instruments 
that are required to be measured, recognised and disclosed in the financial statements, at fair value. This includes Level 2 fair 
values. The finance department reports directly to the Group CFO and the Audit and Risk Committee. Discussions of valuation 
processes and results are held between the Group CFO, Audit and Risk Committee, and the finance department at least once 
every six months, in line with the Group's half-year reporting periods. 

The main Level 2 inputs used by the Group are derived and evaluated as follows:  

•  discount rates for financial assets and financial liabilities are determined using a capital asset pricing model to calculate a 

pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset. 

Changes in Level 2 and Level 3 (if any) fair values are analysed at the end of each reporting period during the half-year 
valuation discussion between the Group CFO, Audit and Risk Committee, and finance department. As part of this discussion the 
finance department presents a report that explains the reason for the fair value movements. 

DISCLOSED FAIR VALUES 

The Group also has assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value, but for which fair values are disclosed in the notes 
to the financial statements. 

Receivables 

Due to the short term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to be the same as their fair value. For 
the majority of non-current receivables, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest on 
those receivables is close to current market rates. 

Trade and other payables 

Due to the short term nature of the trade and other payables, their carrying amount is assumed to be the same as their fair 
value. 

Borrowings 

The fair value of borrowings is as follows:

classified as Level 2 values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of observable inputs, including the credit risk of the Group. 

ACCOUNTING POLICY 

FINANCIAL ASSETS 

Classification and measurement 

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either 

through other comprehensive income or through the income statement) and those to be held at amortised cost. Further detail 

on each classification is outlined below. 

Classification depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. 

Management determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The Group’s policy with regard to financial 

risk management is set out in Note C1. Generally, the Group does not acquire financial assets for the purpose of selling in the 

short term. The Group’s business model is primarily that of ‘hold to collect’ (where assets are held in order to collect contractual 

cash flows). When the Group enters into derivative contracts, these transactions are designed to reduce exposures relating to 

assets and liabilities, firm commitments or anticipated transactions. 

(a) Financial assets held at amortised cost 

This classification applies to debt instruments which are held under a hold to collect business model, and which have cash flows 

that meet the ‘Solely payments of principal and interest’ (SPPI) criteria. 

At initial recognition, trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component, are recognised at their transaction 

price. Other financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus related transaction costs; they are subsequently measured 

at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Any gain or loss on de-recognition or modification of a financial asset 

held at amortised cost is recognised in the income statement. 

(b) Financial assets held at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) 

This classification applies to the following financial assets: 

•  Debt instruments that are held under a business model where they are held for the collection of contractual cash flows and 

also for sale (‘Collect and sell’) and which have cash flows that meet the SPPI criteria. 

All movements in the fair value of these financial assets are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the 

recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue (including transaction costs by applying the effective interest 

method), gains or losses arising on derecognition and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in the income 

statement. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative fair value gain or loss previously recognised in other 

comprehensive income is reclassified to the income statement. 

•  Equity investments where the Group has irrevocably elected to present fair value gains and losses on revaluation in other 

comprehensive income. The election can be made for each individual investment however it is not applicable to equity 

investments held for trading. 

Fair value gains or losses on revaluation of such equity investments, including any foreign exchange component, are recognised 

in other comprehensive income. When the equity investment is derecognised, there is no reclassification of fair value gains or 

losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income to the income statement. Dividends are recognised in the income 

statement when the right to receive payment is established.

This classification applies to the following financial assets, and in all cases, transactions costs are immediately expensed to the 
income statement: 

are as follows: 

•  Debt instruments that do not meet the criteria of amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. 

Subsequent fair value gains or losses are taken to the income statement.

All fair value gains or losses and related dividend income are recognised in the income statement. 

•  Derivatives which are not designated as a hedging instrument. 

All subsequent fair value gains or losses are recognised in the income statement. 

Impairment of financial assets 

A forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) review is required for: 

•  debt instruments measured at amortised cost or held at fair value through other comprehensive income;

ACCOUNTING POLICY 

including interest rate swaps. 

The Swap Contracts require settlement of net interest receivable or payable each month. The Swap Contracts are settled on a 

net basis. The derivative financial instruments were designated as cash flow hedges at inception. 

At 30 April 2023, the Swap Contracts gave rise to receivables for unrealised gains on derivative instruments of $5.15 million 

(2022: $3.45 million receivable on unrealised gains) for the Group. Management has undertaken these contracts with the 

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, Westpac Banking Corporation and Rabobank, all of which are AA rated 

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, 

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently 

remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. 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 hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk in fair 

value hedges, cash flow hedges, or hedges of net investments in foreign operations as appropriate. Hedges of foreign 

exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash flow hedges. 

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the 

hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. 

Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is 

effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, which is when the 

hedging relationships meet all of the hedge effectiveness requirements prescribed in AASB 9 Financial Instruments. 

If a hedging relationship ceases to meet the hedge effectiveness requirement relating to the hedge ratio but the risk 

management objective for that designated hedging relationship remains the same, the Group adjusts the hedge ratio of the 

hedging relationship (i.e. rebalances the hedge) so that it meets the qualifying criteria again. 

Cash flow hedges 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated 

and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash 

flow hedging reserve, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge. The gain 

or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship (or a part thereof) ceases to meet the qualifying 

criteria. This includes instances when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised. The discontinuation is 

accounted for prospectively. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that 

time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast 

transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

D: REWARD AND RECOGNITION 

These programs also result in changes to the Group’s contributed equity. 

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the 
hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income and 
accumulated under the heading of foreign currency translation reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is 
recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

Gains and losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge accumulated in the foreign currency 
translation reserve are reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal or partial disposal of the foreign operation. 

Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. However, where derivatives do 
not meet the hedge accounting criteria, they are classified as ‘held for trading’ for accounting purposes and are accounted 
for at fair value through profit or loss. They are presented as current assets or liabilities to the extent they are expected to be 
settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN – PERFORMANCE RIGHTS 

The Company has a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) designed to provide long term incentives for certain employees, including 

executive directors. Under the plan, participants are granted performance rights over shares. The number of performance rights 

is calculated by dividing the dollar value of the participant’s long term incentive by the ASX volume weighted average price of 

the shares for the five trading days prior and five trading days after the release of the audited financial results. 

Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its discretion, performance rights are issued for nil consideration. The amount of 

performance rights that will vest depends upon the achievement of certain vesting conditions, including the satisfaction of a 

minimum 12 month term of employment and achieving performance targets. In FY22, the Board introduced a second 

performance target with 50% of the grant having a Compound earnings per share (EPS) growth target and the remaining 50% 

having a relative total shareholder return (RTSR) target. In the event of cessation of employment within 12 months of the date of 

grant, unvested rights are forfeited. In the event of cessation of employment after 12 months but before the conclusion of the 

vesting period, unvested rights are considered forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Board, in which case any service 

condition will be deemed to have been fulfilled as at the testing date and subject to performance testing along with other 

participants. It is noted that the Board has discretion to allow “Good Leavers” to retain their Participation in the LTI plan beyond 

the date of cessation of employment when deemed appropriate to the circumstances. The EPS growth and TSR targets must be 

achieved over a three year performance period. Performance rights will automatically vest on the business day after the Board 

determines the vesting conditions have all been satisfied (Vesting Determination Date). 

The performance rights will automatically exercise on the Vesting Determination Date unless that date occurs outside a trading 

window permitted under the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, in which case the performance rights will exercise upon the 

first day of the next trading window. Upon exercise of the performance rights, the Company must issue or procure the transfer of 

one share for each performance right, or alternatively may in its discretion elect to pay the cash equivalent value to the

LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN – PERFORMANCE RIGHTS 

The Company has a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) designed to provide long term incentives for certain employees, including 
executive directors. Under the plan, participants are granted performance rights over shares. The number of performance rights 
is calculated by dividing the dollar value of the participant’s long term incentive by the ASX volume weighted average price of 
the shares for the five trading days prior and five trading days after the release of the audited financial results. 

Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its discretion, performance rights are issued for nil consideration. The amount of 
performance rights that will vest depends upon the achievement of certain vesting conditions, including the satisfaction of a 
minimum 12 month term of employment and achieving performance targets. In FY22, the Board introduced a second 
performance target with 50% of the grant having a Compound earnings per share (EPS) growth target and the remaining 50% 
having a relative total shareholder return (RTSR) target. In the event of cessation of employment within 12 months of the date of 
grant, unvested rights are forfeited. In the event of cessation of employment after 12 months but before the conclusion of the 
vesting period, unvested rights are considered forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Board, in which case any service 
condition will be deemed to have been fulfilled as at the testing date and subject to performance testing along with other 
participants. It is noted that the Board has discretion to allow “Good Leavers” to retain their Participation in the LTI plan beyond 
the date of cessation of employment when deemed appropriate to the circumstances. The EPS growth and TSR targets must be 
achieved over a three year performance period. Performance rights will automatically vest on the business day after the Board 
determines the vesting conditions have all been satisfied (Vesting Determination Date). 

The performance rights will automatically exercise on the Vesting Determination Date unless that date occurs outside a trading 
window permitted under the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, in which case the performance rights will exercise upon the 
first day of the next trading window. Upon exercise of the performance rights, the Company must issue or procure the transfer of 
one share for each performance right, or alternatively may in its discretion elect to pay the cash equivalent value to the 
participant. 

Performance rights will lapse on the first to occur of: 

• 

• 

the expiry date; 

the vesting conditions not being satisfied by the Vesting Determination Date; 

•  unless the Board otherwise determines, by the cessation of the employment of the employee to whom the offer of 

performance rights was made. The Board determination will depend upon the reason for employment ceasing (resignation, 
dismissal for cause, death or illness). 

Performance rights when issued under the LTIP are not entitled to receive a dividend and carry no voting rights.

During the 2020 financial year, grants under the long-term incentive plan were made with a performance period of FY20, FY21 
and FY22 (FY20 Grant). Based upon the EPS growth achieved over the three year performance period (FY20-FY22), 85,564 
performance rights (Vesting Rights) granted under the LTIP converted to fully paid ordinary shares. Each participant was issued 
shares based on the volume weighted average price of $9.59. 

All performance rights issued during the reporting period ended 30 April 2023 have an expiry date of 25 July 2025 and were 
issued with an exercise price of nil. All performance rights issued during the reporting period ended 1 May 2022 have an expiry 
date of 24 July 2024 and were issued with an exercise price of nil. 

FAIR VALUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS ISSUED 

There was one tranche of performance rights issued during the reporting period ended 30 April 2023: 

• 

• 

The assessed fair value of performance rights (with an EPS growth target) issued on 21 September 2022 was $8.74.  
The fair value at grant date was determined using a discounted cash flow model incorporating the share price at grant 
date of $9.34, the term of the right, the expected dividend yield of 2.31% and the risk free interest rate for the term of the 
rights of 3.33%. 

The assessed fair value at grant date of performance rights (with TSR target) was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation 
model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution (where material), the share 
price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, the risk-free interest 
rate for the term of the option and the correlations and volatilities of the peer group companies.

OWNERSHIP SHARE PLAN – PERFORMANCE RIGHTS 

During FY23, the Group established an Ownership Share Plan (OSP) designed to maintain and enhance a performance centred 

environment for eligible Restaurant General Managers (RGMs), Area Coaches (ACs) and Restaurant Support Centre (RSC) 

employees. The OSP aims to reflect current market conditions and to ensure remuneration practices remain competitive. Under 

the plan, participants are granted performance rights over shares. The number of performance rights is calculated by dividing 

the dollar value of the employee’s grant by the ASX volume weighted average price of the shares for the five trading days prior 

and five days after the release of the audited financial results. Each annual grant spans a five year period and will vest in 5 

separate tranches, each with a distinct service period. Employees who are participants of any other Group Share Scheme (e.g. 

LTIP) are ineligible to participate in the OSP. 

Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its discretion, performance rights are issued for nil consideration. The amount of 

performance rights that will vest depends upon the satisfaction of a service condition, with one-fifth (20%) of each employee’s 

entitlement vesting annually, providing that employee remains employed by the Group. There are no performance conditions 

attached the rights granted under the OSP. 

Set out below are summaries of performance rights issued under the OSP:

FAIR VALUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS ISSUED UNDER THE OSP 

• 

The assessed fair values of performance rights issued on 27 April 2023 ranged from $7.70 to $8.43. The fair value at grant date 

was determined using a discounted cash flow model incorporating the share price at grant date of $8.70, the term of the 

right, the expected dividend yield of 3.1% and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the rights ranging from 3.01% to 3.05%. 

EXPENSES ARISING FROM SHARE BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS 

Total expenses arising from share based payment transactions (LTIP and OSP) recognised during the period as part of employee 

benefit expense were $434,007 (2022: $1,321,498). 

ACCOUNTING POLICY 

Equity settled share based payments are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the date of grant. The fair value 

of performance rights granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The 

determination of fair value includes consideration of any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting 

conditions but excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions. 

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of performance rights that are expected to vest. 

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are 

to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of performance rights that are expected 

to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit 

and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

ACCOUNTING POLICY 

(1)  The Sizzler China Pte Ltd Joint Venture is held by the Sizzler Asia business. This has been classified as held for sale as at 30 April 2023. Refer to Note F. 

Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. 

The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint 

arrangement. The Group has one joint venture. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of 

accounting, after initially being recognised at cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise 

the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in 

other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from joint 

ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. 

When the Group’s share of losses in an equity accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any 

other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made 

payments on behalf of the other entity. 

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in 

the entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset 

transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency 

with the policies adopted by the Group.

Significant capital expenditure contracted for at the end of the reporting period but not recognised as liabilities is as follows: 

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations  

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally 
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at 
the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising 
from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under 
insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.  

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to 
sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in 
excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale 
of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.  

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified 
as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue 
to be recognised.  

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented 
separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented 
separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.  

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that 
represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose 
of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of 
discontinued operations are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss.  

(1)  This represents any agreements for leases the Group has signed before year end, that have not yet proceeded to an executed lease agreement. This is the value 

repayable over the primary term of the lease. As there is not yet a commencement date, the values have not been discounted to present value.

ACCOUNTING POLICY 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period. 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 additional ordinary shares that would 
have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Includes $13.3 million receivable in relation to the deposit paid for the acquisition from R. Sambo Holdings B.V. (refer Note J1). 

ACCOUNTING POLICY  

Trade receivables are amounts due for goods or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due 
for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount 
of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair 
value. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures 
them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Impairment of trade receivables 

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss 
allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on 
shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. 

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of receivables over a period of 36 months before 30 April 2023 or 
1 May 2022 respectively and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are 
adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to 
settle the receivables. The Group has identified the GDP and the unemployment rate of the countries in which it sells its goods 
and services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in 
these factors.

ACCOUNTING POLICY 

All property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is 

directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised 

as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to 

the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

All property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is 
directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised 
as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to 
the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

(1)  Estimated useful life is the shorter of 20 years or the full term of the lease including renewal periods that are intended to be exercised. 

(2) 

If primary term of the lease differs significantly from the estimated useful life of the asset, judgement is applied to the estimated useful life and an individual rate is 
applied. 

The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. 

The Group reviews annually whether the triggers indicating a risk of impairment exist. The recoverable amounts of cash 
generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates 
(refer Note G7). 

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than 
its estimated recoverable amount. 

The gain or loss on disposal of all non-current assets is determined as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset 
at the time of disposal and the proceeds on disposal and is included in the Consolidated Income Statement of the Group in the 
reporting period of disposal.

Goodwill and 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 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 in the Consolidated Income Statement for the amount by which the asset’s 

carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell 

and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are 

separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss 

decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the 

reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.

determined based on value-in-use calculations. Management recognises that there are various reasons that the estimates used 

in the assumptions may vary. For the KFC Restaurants Australia and KFC Restaurants Europe cash generating units, there are no 

reasonable and likely changes in assumptions which would result in an impairment to goodwill.

During the reporting period ended 30 April 2023, the above cash generating units and the individual restaurant assets (including 
Taco Bell restaurants) were tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. In the event that the 
carrying value of these assets was higher than the recoverable amount (measured as the higher of fair value less costs to sell 
and value in use) an impairment charge was recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement as set out in the table below.

KFC Australia restaurants 

Value in use recoverable amount valuations were performed at the cash generating unit level and at the individual restaurant 
level for the purpose of testing goodwill and restaurant specific assets, respectively. Restaurant assets include Property, Plant & 
Equipment and Right-of-use assets. Detailed impairment models were prepared for the cash generating unit and for some of 
the KFC Australia restaurants where indicators of impairment were identified. The impairment test did not result in any 
impairments for the KFC Australia restaurants. 

The impairment models have been prepared as follows: 

• 

• 

The cash flow estimate for the cash generating unit has been prepared based on a period of five years. 

The annual growth rates applied in the first five years average 4.6% (2022: 5.0%) for the stores modelled. The year one 
projections have been aligned to the division's specific cash flows reflected in the 2024 budget. 

•  Annual growth rates of 2.5% (2022: 2.5%) have been applied from year 6 onwards, which does not exceed the long-term 

average growth rate for the industry segment in which the restaurants operate. 

Management believe that these growth percentages are reasonable considering the growth that has been seen in this 
operating segment during 2023, prior to COVID-19, in prior reporting periods, and in the weeks since year-end. 

•  Cost of sales percentage is estimated to remain reasonably consistent over the cash flow period. Cost of labour percentage 

is estimated to steadily decrease with the increase in sales volume. 

•  A post-tax discount rate of 7.4% has been calculated for the KFC Australia segment (2022: 7.4% post tax). The change in the 

post-tax discount rate applied to certain restaurant assets is the result of the discount rates applied to each individual 
restaurant being adjusted by the incremental borrowing rate (IBR) applied to each AASB 16 lease. This has resulted in post-
tax discount rates in the range 6.3 – 8.5% for the individual restaurants assessed for impairment (2022: range 5.0 – 8.5%). 

G7: Impairment of assets continued 

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATE: IMPACT OF POSSIBLE CHANGES IN KEY ASSUMPTIONS 

Management recognises that a change in one of the assumptions applied to the discount rates or growth rates could result in 

the impairment of some of the Group’s KFC Australia restaurant assets. 

However, management has considered the likelihood of these possible changes and believe that strong revenue growth 

achieved in the operating segment historically, during the current financial year and in the weeks since year-end, supports the 

growth percentages applied in the cash flows and that the discount rates applied are appropriate having assessed against 

current market factors. 

Management do not consider that a reasonable possible change in any of the key assumptions would cause their carrying 

amounts to significantly exceed their recoverable amounts. 

KFC Europe restaurants 

Value in use recoverable amount valuations were performed at the cash generating unit level and at the individual restaurant 

level for the purpose of testing goodwill and restaurant specific assets, respectively. Restaurant assets include Property, Plant & 

Equipment and Right-of-use assets. Detailed impairment models were prepared for the cash generating unit and for some of 

the KFC Europe restaurants where indicators of impairment were identified. The impairment resulted in the impairment of one 

KFC Europe restaurant. 

Impairment charges of $5.0 million were recognised in respect of KFC Europe restaurants, comprising $3.3 million of Right-of-use 

assets, $0.9 million of leasehold improvements and $0.4 million of plant and equipment. The impairment charge principally 

relates to the full impairment of one restaurant. 

The impairment models have been prepared as follows: 

• 

• 

The cash flow estimate for the cash generating unit has been prepared based on a period of five years. 

The year one projections have been aligned to the division's specific cash flows reflected in the 2024 budget. The annual 

growth rates applied in the first 5 years average 3.8% (2022: 4.1%) The year one projections have been aligned to the 

division's specific cash flows reflected in the 2024 budget. 

•  Cost of sales percentage is estimated to remain consistent over the cash flow period. 

•  Annual growth rates of 1.5% have been applied from year 6 onwards (2022: 1.5%) which does not exceed the long-term 

average growth rate for the industry segment in which the restaurants operate. 

Management believe that these growth percentages are reasonable considering the growth that has been seen in this 

operating segment during 2023, prior to COVID-19, in prior reporting periods, and in the weeks since year-end. 

•  A post-tax discount rate of 7.4% has been calculated for the KFC Europe segment (2022: 7.4% post tax). The change in the 

post-tax discount rate applied to certain restaurant assets is the result of the discount rates applied to each individual 

restaurant being adjusted by the IBR applied to each AASB 16 lease. This has resulted in post-tax discount rates in the range 

of 5.5 - 7.5% for the individual restaurants assessed for impairment (2022: range 5.5 – 7.8%). 

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATE: IMPACT OF POSSIBLE CHANGES IN KEY ASSUMPTIONS 

Management recognises that a change in one of the assumptions applied to the discount rates or growth rates could result in 

the impairment of some of the Group’s KFC Europe restaurant assets.  

However, management has considered the likelihood of these possible changes and believe that strong revenue growth 

achieved in the operating segment historically and during FY23 supports the growth percentages applied in the cash flows and 

that the discount rate applied are appropriate having assessed against current market factors. 

Management do not consider that a reasonable possible change in any of the key assumptions would cause their carrying 

amounts to significantly exceed their recoverable amounts. 

Taco Bell 

Value in use recoverable amount valuations were not performed at the Taco Bell segment level as there is no goodwill or other 

indefinite life intangible assets for Taco Bell. However, each of the individual restaurants represents a cash generating unit for the 

purpose of testing Property, Plant & Equipment, Right-of-use assets and other restaurant specific assets. Accordingly, impairment 

models were prepared for all Taco Bell restaurants where indicators of impairment were identified. 

Management identified indicators of impairment amongst the Taco Bell restaurants network due to their financial performance 

compared to the individual restaurant forecasts. Detailed impairment models were prepared, resulting in the impairment of 

$20.2 million of Property, plant and equipment, $27.8 million of Right-of-use assets and $1.1 million of Franchise rights. 

•  As stated in the interim financial statements to 16 October 2022, the revenue growth and EBITDA rates for Years 1 - 5 are the 

most significant assumptions underpinning the Taco Bell impairment analysis.  

•  During the second half of the financial reporting period ending 30 April 2023, the performance of the Taco Bell business unit 

was below expectations.

operating segment during 2023, prior to COVID-19, in prior reporting periods, and in the weeks since year-end. 

•  A post-tax discount rate of 7.4% has been calculated for the KFC Europe segment (2022: 7.4% post tax). The change in the 
post-tax discount rate applied to certain restaurant assets is the result of the discount rates applied to each individual 
restaurant being adjusted by the IBR applied to each AASB 16 lease. This has resulted in post-tax discount rates in the range 
of 5.5 - 7.5% for the individual restaurants assessed for impairment (2022: range 5.5 – 7.8%). 

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATE: IMPACT OF POSSIBLE CHANGES IN KEY ASSUMPTIONS 

Management recognises that a change in one of the assumptions applied to the discount rates or growth rates could result in 
the impairment of some of the Group’s KFC Europe restaurant assets.  

However, management has considered the likelihood of these possible changes and believe that strong revenue growth 
achieved in the operating segment historically and during FY23 supports the growth percentages applied in the cash flows and 
that the discount rate applied are appropriate having assessed against current market factors. 

Management do not consider that a reasonable possible change in any of the key assumptions would cause their carrying 
amounts to significantly exceed their recoverable amounts. 

Taco Bell 

Value in use recoverable amount valuations were not performed at the Taco Bell segment level as there is no goodwill or other 
indefinite life intangible assets for Taco Bell. However, each of the individual restaurants represents a cash generating unit for the 
purpose of testing Property, Plant & Equipment, Right-of-use assets and other restaurant specific assets. Accordingly, impairment 
models were prepared for all Taco Bell restaurants where indicators of impairment were identified. 

Management identified indicators of impairment amongst the Taco Bell restaurants network due to their financial performance 
compared to the individual restaurant forecasts. Detailed impairment models were prepared, resulting in the impairment of 
$20.2 million of Property, plant and equipment, $27.8 million of Right-of-use assets and $1.1 million of Franchise rights. 

•  As stated in the interim financial statements to 16 October 2022, the revenue growth and EBITDA rates for Years 1 - 5 are the 

most significant assumptions underpinning the Taco Bell impairment analysis.  

•  During the second half of the financial reporting period ending 30 April 2023, the performance of the Taco Bell business unit 

was below expectations.

G7: Impairment of assets continued 

G8: Leases continued 

•  Further business improvement initiatives are underway, however, as at the Balance Sheet date, management has reduced 
its revenue growth and EBITDA assumptions for future years. This has had the effect of additional restaurant impairments 
across the Group’s Taco Bell portfolio.  

AMOUNTS RECOGNISED IN THE INCOME STATEMENT 

The income statement shows the following amounts relating to leases: 

• 

• 

The total charge for the financial period to 30 April 2023 has been $49.1 million. 

The remaining net book value of the Taco Bell restaurants on 30 April 2023, after the recognition of the $49.1 million 
impairment charge, is nil for all stores.  One remaining restaurant is due to open in July 2023 where an onerous lease 
provision for $1.9m has been taken up due to the revised outlook for this store based on the experience from other store 
openings.  

ACCOUNTING POLICY 

Goodwill 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets 
of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment 
annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less 
accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. 

The Group determines whether goodwill with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an 
estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill with indefinite useful lives relate. 

Franchise rights 

Costs associated with franchise licences which provide a benefit for more than one reporting period are amortised over the 
remaining term of the franchise licence. Capitalised costs associated with renewal options for franchise licences are deferred 
and amortised over the renewal option period. The unamortised balance is reviewed each balance date and charged to the 
Consolidated Income Statement to the extent that future benefits are no longer probable. 

Software 

Software consists of both externally acquired software programmes and capitalised development costs of internally generated 
software. The Group amortises software using a straight-line method over 3-8 years. Costs associated with maintaining software 
programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and 
testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets where the 
criteria within AASB 138 Intangible Assets is met. Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software include 
employee costs, installation costs and associated expenditure. Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets 
and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use.

THE GROUP’S LEASING ACTIVITIES AND HOW THESE ARE ACCOUNTED FOR 

The Group leases various restaurant sites, offices, and motor vehicles. Rental contracts, particularly for restaurants, are typically 

made for fixed periods of 5 to 20 years but may have extension options as described further below. 

Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Group allocates the consideration in the contract to the 

lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices. 

Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease 

agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor. 

Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes. 

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present 

value of the following lease payments: 

• 

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; 

•  variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the 

commencement date; 

•  amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees; 

• 

the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and 

•  payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option. 

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. 

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which 

is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual 

lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar 

economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. 

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group: 

•  where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect 

changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received; 

•  uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by the Group, which 

does not have recent third party financing; and 

•  makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

G8: Leases continued 

If a readily observable amortising loan rate is available to the individual lessee (through recent financing or market data) which 
has a similar payment profile to the lease, then the Group entities use that rate as a starting point to determine the incremental 
borrowing rate. 

In the current reporting period, the weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities was 
5.17% (2022: 4.85%) 

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease 
period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. 

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: 

• 

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; 

•  any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; 

•  any initial direct costs; and 

•  make good obligation costs. 

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. 
If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s 
useful life. While the Group revalues its land and buildings that are presented within property, plant and equipment, it has 
chosen not to do so for the right-of-use buildings held by the Group. 

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a 
straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value 
assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture. 

VARIABLE LEASE PAYMENTS 

Some property leases contain variable payment terms that are linked to sales generated from a restaurant. For individual 
restaurants, up to 80% of lease payments are on the basis of variable payment terms with a wide range of sales percentages 
applied. Variable payment terms are used for a variety of reasons, including minimising the fixed costs base for newly 
established restaurants. Variable lease payments that depend on sales are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the 
condition that triggers those payments occurs. 

EXTENSION AND TERMINATION OPTIONS 

Extension and termination options are included in a number of leases across the Group. These are used to maximise operational 
flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Group’s operations. The majority of extension and termination options held 
are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor. 

CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS IN DETERMINING THE LEASE TERM 

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to 
exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are 
only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). 

For leases of restaurant sites, the following factors are normally the most relevant: 

• 

• 

If there are significant penalty payments to terminate (or not extend), the Group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or 
not terminate). 

If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the Group is typically reasonably certain 
to extend (or not terminate). 

•  Otherwise, the Group considers other factors including historical lease durations and the costs and business disruption 

required to replace the leased asset. 

Most extension options in offices and motor vehicles leases have not been included in the lease liability, because the Group 
could replace the assets without significant cost or business disruption. 

More than 90% of the Group's leases are of restaurants or restaurant sites. These leases range in primary terms of 5 - 20 years, with 
multiple 5 - 10 year options available, anywhere up to a total available lease term of 50 years. The Group has applied the below 
lease term assumptions to the restaurant and restaurant lease portfolios of each segment, as it is considered representative of 
the Group's reasonably certain position. Specific leases are considered on a case-by-case basis when additional knowledge is 
available that would result in a different lease term to these assumptions.

circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.

ACCOUNTING POLICY  

Employee benefits 

Provision has been made in the accounts for benefits accruing to employees up to balance date, such as long service leave 
and incentives. The current portion of this liability includes the unconditional entitlements to long service leave where employees 
have completed the required period of service. The provisions are measured at their nominal amounts using the remuneration 
rates expected to apply at the time of settlement. 

In addition, the Group has identified that on certain occasions some employees may have been entitled to receive additional 
allowances. A program is underway to review and confirm any instances where this may apply and this program will be 
completed in the next financial period. As at 30 April 2023 there is a provision to recognise these additional amounts totalling 
$1.7 million (2022: nil), covering the six year period from 1 May 2017 to 30 April 2023.  

Accounting estimates and judgements have been made in calculating these additional amounts. Any revisions of the estimates 
will be recognised in the period during which they are identified. 

Long service leave provisions relating to employees who have not yet completed the required period of service are classified as 
non-current. All other employee provisions are classified as a current liability. 

All on-costs, including superannuation, payroll tax and workers’ compensation premiums are included in the determination of 
provisions. 

Make good provision  

Provisions for legal claims and make good obligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive 
obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the 
amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. 

The Group is required to restore the leased premises of certain retail restaurants to their original condition upon exit. However, as 
leases are traditionally renewed, the Group only recognises a provision for those restaurants where make good costs will result in 
a probable outflow of funds. An annual review of leased sites is conducted to determine the present value of the estimated 
expenditure required to remove any leasehold improvements and decommission the restaurant.

Each reporting period, the group assesses whether any of their contracts are considered to be onerous. The present obligations 
arising under any onerous contracts identified are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to 
exist where the group has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed

G12: Tax continued 

ACCOUNTING POLICY 

Income tax 

The income tax expense on revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the 
national income tax rate, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences 
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets 
are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted in the respective 
jurisdiction. 

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. 

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of 
investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary 
differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and 
when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the 
entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis. 

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

Tax consolidation 

The Company, as the head entity in the tax consolidated group and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities continue to 
account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax 
consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right. 

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and 
the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax 
consolidated group. Assets or liabilities arising under the tax funding agreement with the tax consolidated entities are 
recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. 

The entities in the Tax Consolidated Group entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the directors, limits the 
joint and several liability of the wholly owned entities within the Tax Consolidated Group in the case of a default by the 
Company. 

The entities in the Tax Consolidated Group have also entered into a Tax Funding Agreement under which the wholly owned 
entities of that group fully compensate the Company for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by the 
Company for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are 
transferred to the Company under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the 
amounts recognised in the wholly owned entities’ financial statements.

It is the Group's policy to employ PricewaterhouseCoopers on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where 

PricewaterhouseCoopers' expertise and experience with the Group are important. These assignments are principally tax advice, 

due diligence reporting on acquisitions and capital raisings, or where PricewaterhouseCoopers is awarded assignments on a 

competitive basis. It is the Company's policy to seek competitive tenders for all major consulting projects. 

G14: Contingencies 

The parent entity and certain controlled entities indicated in Note H1 have entered into a Deed of Cross Guarantee (Amended 

and Restated) under which the parent entity has guaranteed any deficiencies of funds on winding up of the controlled entities 

which are party to the Deed. At the date of this statement there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be 

able to meet any obligations or liabilities to which it is, or may become, subject by virtue of the Deed.   

As described in Note B2, CFG Finance Pty Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary) and several other related entities have entered 

into Syndicated and Working Capital credit facilities.  As a consequence of this, the Company and its subsidiaries became 

registered guarantors of all the obligations in respect of these loan facilities.

acquisition in the 2012 reporting period. 

GUARANTEES ENTERED INTO BY THE PARENT ENTITY 

The parent entity has provided unsecured financial guarantees in respect of bank loan facilities amounting to $200 million and 
€120 million as stated in Note B2. In addition, there are cross guarantees given by the parent entity as described in Note H1. All 
controlled entities will together be capable of meeting their obligations as and when they fall due by virtue to the Deed of Cross 
Guarantee (Amended and Restated) dated 27 April 2017.  The parent entity has guaranteed to financially support a number of 
its international subsidiaries until July 2024. No liability was recognised by the parent entity in relation to these guarantees, as 
their fair value is considered immaterial. 

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES OF THE PARENT ENTITY 

Except as described above in relation to guarantees, the parent entity did not have any contingent liabilities as at 30 April 2023 
(2022: nil).

These financial statements have been prepared as a general purpose financial report in accordance with Australian 

Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group 

Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. Collins Foods Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the 

consolidated financial statements. 

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by 

the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

Collins Foods Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial 

statements have also been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets 

and liabilities (including derivative instruments). 

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors are of the opinion that the Group will be able to 

continue to operate as a going concern having regard to available non-current debt facilities and the Group’s internally 

In the current reporting period, the Group has a net current liability position of $48.9 million. The predominant reason for this net 

current liability position is the application of AASB16, with lease payments due in the next financial year recognised as current 

liabilities. The Group does not deem this to be a risk to its’ going concern, as excluding lease liabilities there would be a net 

current liability position of $4.2 million with undrawn bank loan facilities of $83.1 million and undrawn working capital facilities of 

$23.3 million. The Group’s loan covenants are based on results excluding the impact of AASB16. The current covenant ratios 

have significant headroom at current performance and there are sufficient undrawn facilities available, both within the Working 

Capital Facility and Bank Loan Facility, should the Group require access to additional funds, all repayable beyond 12 months 

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of the parent entity, Collins Foods Limited (the 

Company) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group) (see Note H1 on subsidiaries). All transactions and balances 

between companies in the Group are eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Company 

has the power to govern the financial and operating results and policies and often accompanies a shareholding of more than 

one-half of the voting rights. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the reporting period are included in the

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group entities are measured using the currency of the primary

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

I1: Basis of preparation 

I2: Changes to accounting policies 

I3: Other accounting policies 

I1: Basis of preparation 

COMPLIANCE 

These financial statements have been prepared as a general purpose financial report in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group 
Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. Collins Foods Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the 
consolidated financial statements. 

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by 
the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

MEASUREMENT 

Collins Foods Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial 
statements have also been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets 
and liabilities (including derivative instruments). 

GOING CONCERN 

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors are of the opinion that the Group will be able to 
continue to operate as a going concern having regard to available non-current debt facilities and the Group’s internally 
generated cash resources. 

In the current reporting period, the Group has a net current liability position of $48.9 million. The predominant reason for this net 
current liability position is the application of AASB16, with lease payments due in the next financial year recognised as current 
liabilities. The Group does not deem this to be a risk to its’ going concern, as excluding lease liabilities there would be a net 
current liability position of $4.2 million with undrawn bank loan facilities of $83.1 million and undrawn working capital facilities of 
$23.3 million. The Group’s loan covenants are based on results excluding the impact of AASB16. The current covenant ratios 
have significant headroom at current performance and there are sufficient undrawn facilities available, both within the Working 
Capital Facility and Bank Loan Facility, should the Group require access to additional funds, all repayable beyond 12 months 
(refer to Note B2). 

CONSOLIDATION 

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of the parent entity, Collins Foods Limited (the 
Company) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group) (see Note H1 on subsidiaries). All transactions and balances 
between companies in the Group are eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Company 
has the power to govern the financial and operating results and policies and often accompanies a shareholding of more than 
one-half of the voting rights. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the reporting period are included in the 
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of 
disposal, as appropriate. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated 
financial statements. 

REPORTING PERIOD 

The Group utilises a fifty-two, fifty-three week reporting period ending on the Sunday nearest to 30 April. The 2023 reporting 
period comprised the fifty-two weeks which ended on 30 April 2023 (2022: a fifty-two week reporting period which ended on 1 
May 2022). 

FOREIGN CURRENCIES 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group entities are measured using the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The Consolidated Financial Statements are 
presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company. 

Transactions in foreign currencies are converted at the exchange rates in effect at the dates of each transaction. Amounts 
payable to or by the Group in foreign currencies have been translated into Australian currency at the exchange rates ruling on 
balance date. Gains and losses arising from fluctuations in exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities are included in the 
Consolidated Income Statement in the period in which the exchange rates change, except when deferred in equity as 
qualifying cash flow hedges.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

I1: Basis of preparation continued 

The foreign currency results and financial position of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars as follows: 

•  assets and liabilities at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period; 

• 

income and expenses at the average exchange rates for the reporting period; with 

•  all resulting exchange differences recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. 

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings 
and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the 
foreign operation and translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS  

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including 
expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under 
the circumstances. 

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. 
The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of 
certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are included in the following notes: 

•  Note A2 Business combinations; 

•  Note G5 Property, plant and equipment; 

•  Note G6 Non-current assets - intangible assets; 

•  Note G7 Impairment of assets; 

•  Note G8 Leases; and 

•  Note G10 Provisions.  

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS 

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, issued 
by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the financial report. 
Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in 
certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

COMPARATIVES AND RESTATEMENTS OF PRIOR YEAR BALANCES 

Comparatives have been reclassified where appropriate to enhance comparability. 

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP 

The Group has not applied any new standards or amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 2 
May 2022. 

NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 April 2023 reporting 
periods and have not been early adopted by the group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and 
interpretations is that the impact to the Group is immaterial. At this stage the Group does not intend to adopt any of the new 
standards before the effective dates. 

I2: Changes in accounting policies 

The accounting policies adopted in this report have been consistently applied to each entity in the Group and are consistent 
with those of the prior reporting period. 

I3: Other accounting policies 

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 payable to the taxation authority is included as part of trade and other payables (see Note G9). 

Cash flows are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising 

from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating 

For the purposes of the Consolidated Income Statement, cost of sales includes the carrying amount of inventories sold during 

the reporting period and an estimated allocation of labour incurred in relation to preparing those inventories for sale. 

Occupancy expenses include: fixed rentals, contingent rentals, land tax, outgoings and depreciation relating to buildings and 

Restaurant related expenses include: utilities, maintenance, labour and on-costs (except those allocated to cost of sales), 

cleaning costs, depreciation of plant and equipment (owned and leased) located in restaurants and amortisation of franchise 

cash flows. 

COST OF SALES  

OCCUPANCY EXPENSES  

leasehold improvements. 

RESTAURANT RELATED EXPENSES  

rights. 

INVENTORIES  

OTHER INCOME 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is assigned on a first-in first-out basis and includes 

expenditure incurred in acquiring the stock and bringing it to the existing condition and location. 

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. 

Also included in other income is development agreement income, which is related to achieving targets included in 

development agreements. This is recognised at a point in time when the targets are achieved. 

Other items of miscellaneous income are also included in this amount. 

GOVERNMENT GRANTS 

Grants from Australian and overseas governments are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that 

the grant will be received, and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. 

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with 

the costs that they are intended to compensate. The grant is recognised under the profit or loss by deducting the value from 

the related expense the grant was received for. 

Traineeship grants are accounted for as a reduction of the related expense. 

Government grants were received by the Group in the current year for traineeships, amounting to $6.1 million. 

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS UNDER COMMON CONTROL 

When an entity within the Group acquires an entity under common control, the acquiring entity consolidates the carrying values 

of the acquired entity’s asset and liabilities from the date of acquisition. The consolidated financial statements of the Group 

include the income and expenditures from the date of acquisition. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration 

paid/transferred by the acquirer and the net assets / (liabilities) of the acquired are taken to the common control reserve in the 

equity section of the balance sheet.

J1: Subsequent events 

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL PERIOD 

On 2 May 2023, Collins Foods announced that its wholly owned Dutch subsidiary, Collins Foods Netherlands Operations B.V. 
completed the acquisition of eight KFC restaurants in the Netherlands from R. Sambo Holding B.V. 

The financial effects of this transaction have not been recognised at 30 April 2023 and the operating results and assets and 
liabilities of the acquired company will be consolidated from 2 May 2023. The acquisition is expected to deliver additional scale 
and to support in further leveraging the Group’s experience and operational capabilities in the Netherlands. 

The purchase price payable was €8.0 million ($13.3 million), subject to adjustments. In addition, contingent consideration is also 
payable as a component of consideration. 

At the time the financial statements were authorised for issue, the Group had not completed the accounting for the acquisition. 
In particular, the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired are unable to be fully determined as the independent 
valuations have not been completed. Further, the fair value of the contingent consideration is unable to be determined at this 
time. 

Full purchase price accounting will be finalised and disclosed in the 2024 half-year interim financial report. 

This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors. 

On 23 February 2023, the Group signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to sell the 100% owned SingCo Trading 
Pte. Ltd Group (SingCo) for SGD20.2 million. The associated SingCo assets and liabilities are consequently presented as available 
for sale and is reported as a discontinued operation as SingCo represents an identifiable, single geographical area of 
operations. 

The transaction is anticipated to complete in mid July 2023 and the full impact, including any gain on sale, will be disclosed in 
the 2024 half-year interim financial report. 

Other than noted above, the Group is not aware of any matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the 
financial year which have significantly or may significantly affect the operations and results of the Group.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

Independent Auditor’s Report 

Our audit approach 

An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from 
material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if 
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the financial report. 

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an 
opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management 
structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. 

Materiality 

Audit scope 

Key audit matters 

● For the purpose of our audit
we used overall Group
materiality of $3.4m, which
represents approximately 5%
of the profit from continuing
operations before income tax,
adjusted for the Taco Bell
impairment and asset write-
offs, onerous provision and
restaurant closure costs.

● We applied this threshold,
together with qualitative
considerations, to determine
the scope of our audit and the
nature, timing and extent of
our audit procedures and to
evaluate the effect of
misstatements on the financial
report as a whole.

● We chose Group profit from
continuing operations before
income tax because, in our
view, it is the benchmark
against which the performance
of the Group is most
commonly measured. We

Group made subjective judgements;
for example, significant accounting
estimates involving assumptions and

In establishing the overall approach
to the Group audit, we determined
the type of audit work that needed to
be performed by us, as the Group
engagement team, and by
component auditors in the
Netherlands and Germany operating
under our instruction.

● We structured our audit as follows:

− We performed audit procedures
over the Australian & Asian
operations, in addition to
auditing the consolidation of the
Group's reporting units into the
Group's financial report.
Component auditors in the

on the Group financial report as a 
whole. This included active dialogue 
throughout the year through 
discussions, issuing written 
instructions, receiving formal 
interoffice reporting, as well as 
attending meetings with local 
management. 

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 for the current period. The key audit 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. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a 
particular audit procedure is made in that context.  

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Impairment of Taco Bell restaurant assets 

Impairment charge comprises of Property, plant and 
equipment $20.2 million, Franchise rights $1.1 million 
and Right-of-use assets $27.8 million (Refer to note 
G7) 

The Group assesses recoverability of the Taco Bell 
restaurant assets for each individual restaurant.  An 
impairment indicators analysis is performed, and where 
indicators are present, impairment models are then 
prepared on a value in use basis to determine whether 
the carrying amount is recoverable. 

Following the Group’s assessment, a pre-tax 
impairment charge of $49.1 million was recorded in 
relation to the Taco Bell stores, largely comprising 
$20.2 million for Property, plant and equipment,  
$1.1 million for Franchise rights, and $27.8 million for 
Right-of-use assets. 

We considered this a key audit matter given the 
financial significance of the Taco Bell restaurant asset 
balances in the Group’s balance sheet and the 
significant level of judgement and estimation involved 
in determining the value in use for each restaurant with 
indicators of impairment. 

We performed the following audit procedures in relation 
to the Group’s impairment assessment of Taco Bell 
restaurant assets, amongst others: 

●

Evaluated the reasonableness of
management’s impairment indicator
assessment.

● Developed an understanding of the process

undertaken by the Group in the preparation of
the impairment models used to assess the
recoverable amount of the restaurant assets
(the “impairment models”).
Tested the mathematical accuracy of the
underlying calculations in the impairment
models.

●

● Compared the FY2023 actual results with

●

●

●

prior corresponding reporting period forecasts
to assess the historical accuracy of the
Group’s forecasting processes.
Assessed the reasonableness of growth rates
used with reference to historical results.
Evaluated the appropriateness of the discount
rate and long-term growth rate assumptions in
the impairment models, with the support of
PwC valuation experts.

Evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures
made in note G7: Impairment of assets to the
financial report in light of the requirements of
Australian Accounting Standards.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

Independent Auditor’s Report 

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Accounting for leases in accordance with AASB 16 
Leases 

Right-of-use assets $465.8 million, Lease liabilities 
$551.5 million (Refer to note G8) 

The Group applies Australian Accounting Standard 
AASB 16 Leases in accounting for the Group’s portfolio 
of restaurant leases. As a result, Right-of-use assets 
and Lease liabilities are recognised in the balance 
sheet.  

We considered this a key audit matter given the 
financial significance of the related balances in the 
Group’s balance sheet and the critical judgements 
used in determining the lease term assumptions in the 
lease calculations, as well as the significant amount of 
audit effort in auditing the balances. 

We performed the following audit procedures in relation 
the accounting for leases in accordance with AASB 16 
Leases: 

●

●

●

Assessed whether the Group's accounting
policies are in accordance with the
requirements of AASB 16 Leases.
Evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures
made in note G8 in light of the requirements
of Australian Accounting Standards.
Evaluated the judgements applied by the
Group in determining the probability of
exercising extension options for each of the
Group’s operating segments.

For a sample of lease agreements, we: 

●

●

●

Evaluated the lease calculation against the
terms of the lease agreement and the
requirements of AASB 16 Leases.
Tested the mathematical accuracy of the
lease calculations.
Evaluated the appropriateness of the lease
term applied and the Group’s assumptions
relating to the exercise of option periods.

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the annual report for the period 2 May 2022 to 30 April 2023, but does not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Prior to the date of this auditor's report, 
the other information we obtained included the Directors Report, Shareholder Information and 
Corporate Directory. We expect the remaining other information to be made available to us after the 
date of this auditor's report.  

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

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

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

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

When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material 
misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and use our

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

Independent Auditor’s Report 

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 the 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/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our 
auditor's report.
