The Group has had another strong year, delivering excellent growth in profitability and return on equity to shareholders, despite the challenging economic conditions. This result has been underpinned by enhanced services to our clients, including the development of further innovative products. During the year, the Group expanded its global presence with entry into the Asian market. A majority 75.1% interest in Wealthy Aim Investments Limited (“Westminster Travel”) was acquired on 29 January 2014. The Group now has operations in Australia, New Zealand, North America and Asia. The past year also saw the Group achieve continued strong organic growth in a challenging global economic climate, which, together with the Asian acquisition, enabled CTM to achieve a record turnover. A particular challenge this year was the continuing intense competition in the Australian domestic market, which had an impact on Total Transaction Value. The Group continued its investment in delivering innovative client facing products to the market. This investment, coupled with the continued high service levels, has allowed the Group to have a strong year and establish a good platform for continued growth moving forward. In July 2014, the Company was awarded the Best National Travel Management Company for the ninth time in eleven years at the Australian Federation of Travel Agents awards. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the management team and staff for their efforts, and congratulate them on the continued success of CTM as a leading-edge and profitable corporate travel solutions company. I would also like to thank CTM’s shareholders, their Board, and most importantly, CTM’s clients for their continuing support. The Board has declared a dividend of 7.5 cents per share on 28 August, which will be paid on 10 October 2014 to all shareholders registered on 9 September 2014.

Group financial performance Key financial metrics are summarised in the following table: 2014 $’000 2013 $’000 Change % Total Transaction Value (TTV) (unaudited) Total revenue and other income Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) adjusted for acquisition / non-recurring costs Profit before related income tax expense Income tax expense Net profit after tax: Attributable to members Attributable to minority interest 1,383,759 883,804 110,477 77,557 28,864 19,587 22,978 6,399 15,970 4,702 15,845 11,268 734 - Earnings per share (EPS) basic (cents per share) 19.0 cents 14.9 cents Total dividends paid/proposed in relation to financial period Net assets Net operating cash flow 10,790 132,884 11,835 8,074 69,119 16,002 56.6 42.4 47.4 43.9 36.0 40.7 100 27.5 33.6 92.3 (26.0) The net profit after tax of the Group for the financial period, amounted to $15,845,000 (2013: $11,268,000). Review of underlying operations Australia and New Zealand (“ANZ”) The result was underpinned by a 56.6% increase in TTV, to $1,384m (unaudited). EBITDA adjusted for acquisition / non-recurring costs grew by 47.4% to $28,864m. Refer Note 3 for the reconciliation to profit before income tax from continuing operations. Total Transaction Value (TTV) (unaudited) TTV represents the amount at which travel products and services have been transacted across the Group’s operations whilst acting as agents for airlines and other service providers, along with other revenue streams. TTV does not represent revenue in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and is not subject to audit. TTV is stated net of GST. TTV is utilised by management as a key travel industry metric. 2014 $’000 2013 $’000 TTV net of GST (unaudited) 1,383,759 883,804 CTM continues to maintain a strong financial position, with net current assets of $30.2m and total equity of $132.9m. At 30 June 2014, the Group had nil interest bearing debt and has continued to generate strong operating cash flows. The business growth has been funded by a combination of operating cash flow and a capital raising in January 2014 of $53.3 million, applied to fund the Westminster Travel acquisition. In addition to the Westminster Travel acquisition, there has been further deferred acquisition payments of $2.0m and capital expenditure of $2.1m during the year, which have been funded through operating cash flow. The Company continues to pay dividends at its stated divided policy level, with a final dividend declared at 7.5 cents per share (full year: 12 cents). Revenue and other income, in the ANZ operation increased by 1.8% despite a 0.4% fall in TTV (unaudited). The ANZ operation’s TTV (unaudited) was impacted by declining average ticket prices and tough economic conditions. Average ticket prices and client activity appear to have steadied in recent months. Encouragingly, the adjusted EBITDA margin increased from 26.6% in 2013 to 27.7% in 2014, as the region was able to generate more productivity gains. North America TTV (unaudited) in North America rose by 7.4% on a like for like basis, with 2014 TTV (unaudited) at $306.4m. Revenue increased by 23.2% to $22.8m as a result of synergies from business integration and strong organic growth. The adjusted EBITDA margin improved from 16.3% to 22.6%, due to synergies operating across North America. CTM now has operations in 17 cities across 7 states in North America. The momentum and scale now in place bodes well for future activities. Asia The new operations in Asia contributed $360m of TTV (unaudited) for the 5 months from date of acquisition to 30 June 2014. The yield in the Asian business is lower than ANZ and North America due to the Wholesale business line, which operates at a much lower yield than Corporate, Leisure and Events businesses. In Hong Kong, Westminster Travel, as a Tier 1 consolidator, acts as a markets channel for major airlines, selling tickets to Third Party Tier 2 travel agents, as well as through its own, corporate and leisure businesses. This wholesale business reflects the operating structure of the travel industry in Hong Kong, and is an important part of Westminster Travel’s business operations in Hong Kong, as it provides the platform to generate higher TTV and volume rebates for Westminster Travel. 30 31 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014EBITDA margin, however, is strong at 23.4% which has improved from 22.0% for the corresponding period. Strategy and future performance The Group continues to focus on its key strategic drivers, being: ■ Retaining current clients. ■ Winning new clients. ■ Improving productivity. In the 2014 financial year, the Group has executed well on these key business drivers, notwithstanding the tough economic conditions in the Australian market. Client retention has been successful during the year and the Group has had a record year in securing new clients, including some significant new clients in North America. A vast proportion of CTM’s cost base is employee costs, which highlights the importance of productivity initiatives. During the year, there has been an increase in productivity, but not through a reduction of service. In fact, service levels have risen as automation has replaced manual processes, providing CTM’s consultants with the time to operate more effectively and for the benefit of clients. The acquisition of Westminster Travel in Asia gives the Group presence in three of the four major travel markets. The Group intends to continue its growth globally through acquisition, with aspirations to be in every major region (Asia, Europe, North America and Australia/New Zealand), as well as pursuing organic growth, underpinned by continued investment in staff training and new client facing technology. The next twelve months will also involve leveraging global synergy opportunities, where available, and a greater focus on cross-selling between regions. Material business risks The Group is subject to both specific risks to its business activities and risks of a general nature. These risks include: ■ Global terrorism and pandemics: International travel remains susceptible to the impact of regional terrorism and health pandemics ■ Economic conditions: Economic downturn may have an adverse impact on the Group’s operating performance. ■ Information technology: The Group relies heavily on outsourced technology platforms. Whilst all systems are licensed, any disruption to supply or performance of systems may have a long term impact on client and supplier satisfaction. ■ Competition: The Group operates in a competitive market, and current competitors or new competitors may become more effective. ■ Key personnel: The Group is reliant on talent and experience to run its business. The Group’s ability to retain and attract key people is important to its continued success. ■ Employee costs: Employee costs represent a significant component of the Group’s total cost base. Legislative changes in relation to employee costs may have an adverse impact on the Group’s cash flow and profitability. VOLUNTARY CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY During the year, the Group made a voluntary change to its accounting policy in relation to Pay Direct Commissions (“PDC”). In assessing the revenue recognition policy, the Directors noted several factors including a deteriorating rate of PDC recoveries and the uncertainty that surrounds PDCs at the time of travel booking. These factors made it increasingly difficult to reliably estimate PDC revenue at time of booking. The Directors concluded that it was not probable that revenue would flow to CTM until the point of receipt. Hence, the Directors consider that this voluntary change in accounting policy will allow a more reliable measurement and recognition of PDC in the future. PDC revenue is now being recognised based on receipt of commission, as opposed to previous recognition based on a booking received. Full details of the impact of the voluntary change are found in Note 32. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS In the opinion of the Directors, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year not otherwise disclosed in this report or the consolidated financial statements. There were no likely developments in the operations of the Group, from time to time, that have not been finalised at the date of this report. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE The Group has determined that no particular or significant environmental regulations apply to its operations. OTHER MATTERS During the year, CTM issued 25,000 Ordinary shares to Admiral Robert J. Natter, in consideration for consultancy services in relation to CTM’s North American operations. On 5 February 2014, CTM appointed Admiral Natter, as an independent Non- Executive Director, based in North America. Admiral Natter, has been actively engaged with CTM as a consultant since September 2013, and brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in the North American market. During the year, CTM made an unsecured short term bridging loan to Mr Jamie Pherous of $3,867,716 (2013: Nil) at an arm’s length interest rate of 6.66%, based on a 100 day term. The loan was fully repaid according to the terms of the loan agreement on 17 December 2013, including interest paid of $57,886 (2013: Nil). SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE USTravel The acquisition of 100% of the shares of USTravel Inc. (“UST”), a North American based travel management company, was completed on 1 July 2014. As part of this transaction, an initial consideration of $5,561,441 (US $5,250,000) was paid via a mixture of cash and CTM Limited shares. Further cash contingent consideration of up to $2,919,320 (US $2,750,000) may also be payable on 31 August 2015, based on UST achieving annual profit before tax earnings of $US1,600,00 by 30 June 2015. Should actual profit before tax earnings not reach this level by 30 June 2015, the amount of the earn-out will be reduced. Avia International Travel On 6 August 2014, CTM announced the acquisition of Avia International Travel (“Avia”), a travel company based in Houston, Texas, effective from 1 September 2014. As part of this transaction, an initial consideration of $4,454,644 (US $4,125,000) will be paid via a mixture of cash and CTM Limited shares. Further cash contingent consideration of up to $5,175,159 (US $4,875,000) may also be payable on 30 November 2015, based on Avia achieving annual profit before tax earnings of $US1,800,000 by 31 August 2015. Should actual profit before tax earnings not reach this level by 31 August 2015, the amount of the earn-out will be reduced. No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2014 that will significantly affect the Group’s operation, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Company or the Group for subsequent financial years. 32 33 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014REMUNERATION REPORT This Remuneration Report sets out remuneration information for Corporate Travel Management Limited’s non-executive Directors, executive Directors and other key management personnel of the Group and the Company.

Role of the Remuneration Committee The Remuneration Committee is a Committee of the Board. The role of the Remuneration Committee is to advise on remuneration and issues relevant to remuneration policies and practices, including for senior executives and non-executive Directors. CTM’s Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of this Committee. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration Non-executive Directors Fees and payments to non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. Non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Chair’s fees are determined independently to the fees of non-executive Directors. The Chair is not present at any discussions relating to determination of his own remuneration. Non-executive Directors do not receive performance-based remuneration. Directors’ fees The current base fees were last reviewed with effect from 1 July 2013. Non-executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum approved amount currently stands at $600,000 (2013: $400,000). Retirement allowances for non-executive Directors Superannuation contributions required under the Australian superannuation guarantee legislation are made and are deducted from the Directors’ overall fee entitlements. Executive Remuneration Framework The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms with market practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: ■ Competitiveness and reasonableness; ■ Alignment to the interests of shareholders; ■ Performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; ■ Transparency; and ■ Capital management. The Group has structured an executive remuneration framework that is considered to be market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the organisation. The two key elements of the framework are: ■ Alignment to shareholders’ interests, which: ▪ Has economic profit as a core component of plan design; ▪ Focuses on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering an appropriate return on assets, as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value; and ▪ Attracts and retains high calibre executives. The framework provides for a mix of fixed and variable remuneration, and a blend of short and long-term incentives. As executives gain seniority with the Group, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher proportion of ‘at risk’ rewards. The current executive remuneration framework currently has three components: ■ Base remuneration and benefits, including superannuation; ■ Short-term performance incentives; and ■ Long-term incentives through participation in the Share Appreciation Rights Plan. The combination of these components comprises an executive’s total remuneration. The Group intends to continue to review incentive plans during the year ending 30 June 2015, to ensure continued alignment with the Company’s financial and strategic objectives. Fixed remuneration and benefits Base remuneration and benefits are structured as a total employment cost package, which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executives’ reasonable discretion. Executives are offered a competitive base remuneration package that comprises the fixed component of remuneration and rewards. Base remuneration for executives is reviewed annually, to ensure the executive’s remuneration is competitive with the market. An executive’s remuneration is also reviewed on promotion. There is no guaranteed base remuneration increase included in any executives’ contracts. ■ Alignment to program participants’ interests, which: Executives receive benefits, including motor vehicle benefits as part of the fixed remuneration package. ▪ Rewards capability and expertise; ▪ Reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth; ▪ Provides a clear structure for earning rewards; and Superannuation Superannuation contributions are paid in accordance with relevant Government legislation, to employee nominated defined contribution superannuation funds. ▪ Provides recognition for individual and team Short-term incentives contributions. If the Group achieves a pre-determined profit target set by the Remuneration Committee, a short-term 34 35 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014incentive (“STI”) pool is available to executives and other eligible participants. Cash incentives/bonuses are payable around 30 September each year. Using a profit target ensures variable reward is only available when value has been created for shareholders and when profit is consistent with CTM’s approved business plan. The incentive pool is leveraged for performance above the threshold, to provide an incentive for executive superior performance. Executives have a target STI opportunity depending on the accountabilities of the role and impact on the organisation or business unit performance. The maximum target bonus opportunity in the 2014 year was approximately 67% (2013: 49%) of base fixed remuneration and benefits. Each year, the Remuneration Committee considers the appropriate targets and key performance indicators (“KPI”s), to link the STI plan and the level of payout if targets are met, including setting any maximum payout under the STI plan, and minimum levels of performance to trigger payment of STI. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for assessing whether the KPIs are met. The Remuneration Committee also has absolute discretion to adjust short-term incentives, in light of unexpected or unintended circumstances. The STI target annual payment is reviewed annually. Payments made under the STI plan over the last four years have typically risen and fallen in line with the Group’s financial results. For the year ended 30 June 2014, the key performance indicators (KPIs) linked to STI plans were based on the Group objectives, with the key financial metrics being consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation. The relationship between STI and Corporate Travel Management Ltd’s performance over the last 5 years is set out in the following table: Profit for the year attributable to owners of Corporate Travel Management Ltd ($’000) Basic earnings per share (cents) Dividend payments ($’000) Dividend payout ratio (%) Increase / (decrease) in share price % Total KMP STI as a percentage of profit / (loss) for the year (%) 2014 2013 restated 2012 2011 2010 15,845 11,268 11,798 8,268 3,317 19.0 9,129 57.6% 56.6% 0.9% 14.0 7,497 66.5% 111.3% 16.3 5,813 49.3% (0.5%) 2.6% 1.9% 13.5 750 9.1% 100% 3.4% 6.6 - 0.0% n/a 4.4% Long-term incentives In the prior year, the Company introduced a long-term incentive scheme via a Share Appreciation Rights Plan. The plan is designed to focus executives on delivering long-term shareholder returns. Under the plan, participants are granted shares only if performance conditions pertaining to the earnings per share growth are met and the employee is still employed at the end of the vesting period. Participation in the plan is at the Board’s absolute discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan.

The plan is designed to focus executives on delivering long-term shareholder returns. Under the plan, SARs will only vest, if performance conditions pertaining to the earnings per share growth are met and the employee is still employed at the end of the vesting period. Participation in the plan is at the Board’s absolute discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan. Once vested, a participant will be deemed to have automatically exercised all vested SARs and CTM will settle its obligation in line with the SARs Plan. There is no consideration payable by the participant upon exercising of vested SARs. Upon vesting, the conversion of a SAR to an equity or cash based settlement, is determined using a formula referencing the relevant share prices of CTM, the number of SARs exercised, and is at the Board’s sole discretion. Grants made during 2014 will vest on a scaled basis as follows: ■ 75% vest at 80% target achievement; ■ 100% at 100% target achievement.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments in addition to its statutory audit duties, where the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Company and/or the Group are important. The Board has considered the position and, in accordance with the advice received from the Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of 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 did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 as none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.

The Board continues to review the framework and practices, to ensure they meet the interests of shareholders. The Company and its controlled entities together are referred to as the Group in this statement. A description of the Group’s main corporate governance practices is set out this Corporate Governance Statement. All these practices, unless otherwise stated, were in place for the entire year and they comply with the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, including the 2010 Amendments. The Board has a commitment to ongoing improvement in the way it carries out its duties. During the year, the Audit and Risk Committee was split to form two separate committees, being the Audit Committee and the Risk Management Committee. The Board is of the view that our governance structure is enhanced by a Committee that focuses on risk. As part of our continuous improvement, the role and function of the Risk Management Committee will be evaluated not later than 12 months after its establishment. PRINCIPLE 1: LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT Responsibility of the Board The Board is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company and has adopted a Corporate Governance Charter (“Charter”). A guiding principle of the Charter is that the Board act honestly, conscientiously and fairly, in accordance with the law and in the interests of Shareholders, with a view to building sustainable value for the shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. Responsibility for the operational conduct of the Company’s business has been delegated to the Managing Director, who reports to the Board regularly. The Board’s broad function is to: a. Chart strategy and set business and financial targets for the Company; b. Monitor the implementation and execution of strategy; c. Assess and monitor the Group’s corporate culture and values; d. Monitor performance against business and financial targets; e. Appoint and oversee the performance of executive management; and f. Generally, to fulfil an effective leadership role in relation to the Company and the Group. Power and authority in certain areas is specifically reserved to the Board, consistent with its function. These areas include: a. Composition of the Board, including appointment and removal of Directors; b. Oversight of the Company’s operation, including its control and accountability systems; c. Appointing and removing the Managing Director; d. Ratifying the appointment and, where appropriate, the removal of senior management including the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and the Company Secretary; e. Reviewing and overseeing systems of risk management and internal compliance and control, codes of ethics and conduct, and legal and regulatory compliance; f. Monitoring senior management’s performance and implementation of strategy; g. Approving and monitoring financial and other reporting; h. The overall corporate governance of the Company including the strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals; and i. The oversight of Board’s Committees (“Committees”). A performance assessment for the Board was completed in the 2014 financial year. 45 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE The Board operates in accordance with the broad principles set out in its Charter, which is available from the corporate governance information section of the Company’s website at www.travelctm.com. The Board Charter details the Board’s composition and responsibilities. Board composition The Board Charter states that the composition of the Board should be subject to the following principles: a. The Board should comprise at least four Directors with a broad range of experience, qualifications, diversity, expertise, skills and contacts relevant to the Group and its business; b. Half of the Board must be Non-Executive Directors, independent from management; and c. A majority of independent Directors, including the Chairman, unless, in the circumstances of the Company, it is reasonable for the Director not to be an Independent Director and fully disclosed under the ASX Principles. Independence is determined by having regard to whether the Director is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to exercise independent judgement. The Board members may be deemed to not be independent based upon the length of their membership on the Board and their associated interests as shareholders and associates of clients. Directors’ independence The Board has adopted the following definition of an Independent Director: ‘An Independent Director is a Director who is not a member of management i.e. a non-executive Director and who: a. Is not a substantial Shareholder of the Company, or an officer of a substantial Shareholder, and is not otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, with a substantial Shareholder of the Company; b. Has not, within the last three years: i. Been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another Group member; or ii. Been a Director after ceasing employment in an executive capacity for the Company or another Group member; c. Has not, within the last three years, been a principal of a professional advisor to the Company or another Group member or an employee materially associated with the service provided, except where the advisor might be considered to be independent due to the fact that fees payable by the Company to the advisor’s firm represent an insignificant component of the advisor’s firm overall revenue; d. Is not: i. a material supplier or customer of the Company or another Group member; or ii. an officer of or associated, directly or indirectly, with a material supplier or customer; e. Has no material contractual relationship with the Company or another Group member other than as a Director; f. Is free from any interest and any business or other relationship, which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company; and g. Has not served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interest of the Company.’ A former Chief Executive Office will not qualify as an Independent Director unless there has been at least three years between ceasing such employment and sitting on the Board. The Board must regularly assess whether each Director remains an Independent Director in the light of the interests disclosed by them, and each Director must provide the Board with all relevant information for this purposes. Board members Details of the members of the Board, their experience, expertise, qualifications, term of office, relationships affecting their independence and their independent status are set out in the Directors’ report under the heading ‘Information on Directors’. Following the appointment of a new Board member in February 2014, the Board is currently comprised of 6 Directors (the Company’s constitution provides for a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12 Directors), which the Board considers to be an appropriate size to discharge its duties as well as be conducive to effective discussion and efficient decision making. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies. The Board’s Charter specifies that these roles are separate and are to be undertaken by separate people. The Chief Executive Officer must not become the Chairman within three years of ceasing to be Chief Executive Officer. Induction The induction provided to new Directors and senior managers enables them to actively participate in the Board’s decision-making processes as soon as possible. It ensures that they have a full understanding of the Company’s financial position, strategies, operations, culture, values and risk management policies. It also explains the respective rights, duties, responsibilities, interaction and roles of the Board and senior executives and the Company’s meeting arrangements. At the date of signing the Directors’ Report, the Company has two executive Directors and four non-executive Directors. Commitment Board meetings are normally held monthly, and are expected to occur not less than ten times in any year. Term of office Under the Company’s Constitution, at least one third of all Directors, being the longest serving Directors, must retire at each Annual General Meeting. Directors, excluding the Chief Executive Officer, if a Director, must also retire if a third Annual General Meeting falls during the period in which they have held office. Retiring Directors are eligible to be re- elected. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) The Chairman must be appointed from within the Board membership, having regard to the requirement for a clear division of responsibility at the head of the Company. The Board must agree a division of responsibilities between the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which should be set out in a statement of position or authority. The Chairman is responsible for leadership of the Board and for the efficient organisation and conduct of the Board. The Chairman should facilitate the effective contribution by all Directors and promote constructive and respectful relations amongst Directors, and between the Board and the Group’s Senior Executives. The number of meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors and of each Board Committee held during the year ended 30 June 2014, and the number of meetings attended by each Director is disclosed on page 29. It is the Company’s practice to allow its executive Directors to accept appointments outside the Company with prior written approval of the Board. No appointments of this nature were accepted during the year ended 30 June 2014. The commitments of non-executive Directors are considered by the Nominations Committee prior to the Directors’ appointment to the Board of the Company and are reviewed each year, as part of the annual performance assessment. Prior to appointment or being submitted for re- election, each non-executive Director is required to specifically acknowledge that they have and will continue to have the time available to discharge their responsibilities to the Company. 46 47 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014Non-executive Directors The non-executive Directors must meet at least twice each financial year for a private discussion of management issues. Relevant matters arising from these meetings are shared with the full Board. Conflict of interests Where Directors are currently Directors of clients of the Group, as detailed in Note 26 to the financial statements, arrangements for these clients are on similar terms to other clients and no matters involving these specific clients were required to be discussed at a Board or Committee level during the current year. In accordance with the Board’s Charter, should a potential conflict be noted, the Director concerned is required to declare the interests in those dealings to the Company and take no part in decisions relating to them or the preceding discussions. In addition, the Director would not receive any papers from the Group pertaining to those dealings. Independent professional advice With the prior approval of the Chairman, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, each Director has the right to seek independent legal and other professional advice concerning any aspect of the Company’s operations or undertakings, in order to fulfil their duties and responsibilities as Directors. Any reasonable costs incurred are borne by the Company. Performance assessment The Board undertakes an annual self-assessment of its collective performance, the performance of the Chair and of its Committees. The assessment also considers the adequacy of induction and continuing education, access to information and the support provided by the Company Secretary. The results and any action plans are documented, together with specific performance goals which are agreed for the coming year. An external assessment of the Board’s policies and procedures, and its effectiveness generally must be conducted by independent professional consultants at intervals of three years or less. An external Board evaluation was performed in both July 2013 and July 2014. The Chair undertakes an annual assessment of the performance of individual Directors and meets privately with each Director to discuss this assessment. Board Committees The Board has established a number of Committees to assist in the execution of its duties and to allow detailed consideration of complex issues. Current Committees of the Board are the Audit, Risk Management, Nomination and Remuneration Committees. Each Committee must consist of only non-executive Directors, the majority of whom are also Independent Directors. The Chairman of each Committee must be an Independent Director and not Chairman of the Board. Each Committee must consist of no fewer than three members. Each Committee has its own written Charter, setting out its role and responsibilities, composition, structure, membership requirements and the manner in which the Committee is to operate. All of these Charters are reviewed on an annual basis and are available on the Company’s website. All matters determined by Committees are submitted to the full Board as recommendations for the Board’s consideration. Minutes of Committee meetings are tabled at the subsequent Board meeting. Additional requirements for specific reporting by the Committees to the Board are addressed in the Charter of the individual Committees. Nomination Committee The purpose of this Committee is to provide advice and make recommendations to the Board about the appointment of new Directors, to ensure that it is comprised of individuals who are best able to discharge the responsibilities of Directors, having regard to the law and the highest standards of governance. The role of the Committee, to the extent delegated by the Board, also extends to making recommendations in relation to the appointment of senior management. Its members are Tony Bellas (Chairman), Stephen Lonie and Greg Moynihan. Details of Director attendance at Nomination Committee meetings are set out in the Directors’ report on page 29. The Committee has responsibility to: a. Review and recommend to the Board the size and composition of the Board; Notices of meetings for the election of Directors comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s best practice recommendations. PRINCIPLE 3: ACT ETHICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY Code of ethics and values The Company has developed and adopted a detailed code of ethics and values to guide Directors in the performance of their duties. The code reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Group’s integrity and takes into account legal obligations and reasonable expectations of the Company’s stakeholders. The code of ethics forms part of the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter, which has been formally adopted and can be inspected on the Company’s website. The Directors are satisfied that the Group has complied with its policies on ethical standards. Share Trading Policy A Share Trading and Continuous Disclosure Policy has been adopted by the Board, to provide guidance to the Directors, identified employees including senior management, and other employees (“staff”) where they are contemplating dealing in securities of the Company or the securities of entities with whom the Group may have dealings. The Code of Conduct for transactions in securities is as follows: a. The Share Trading and Continuous Disclosure Policy incorporates a Code of Conduct for Transactions in Securities (“Transactions Code”). The Transactions Code acknowledges that it is desirable that Directors and senior management hold securities in the Company and is designed to ensure any dealings by Directors and senior management and their associates in the Company’s securities or securities of other entities is fair and transparent. b. Assess and develop a skills matrix, to identify the skills required by the Board, competencies of Board members and the extent to which the required skills, experience, qualification and diversity are represented on the Board; c. Assist the Board to identify suitable candidates for Board membership and re-election; d. Establishing processes for: i. Ensuring the Board complies with the Diversity Policy and that any diversity profile identified by the Board is taken into account in the selection and appointment of candidates; ii. The evaluation of performance and independence of the Board and individual Directors; iii. Identifying, assessing and enhancing the skills set of Directors; iv. Reviewing and ensuring appropriate induction programs are in place; and v. Reviewing corporate governance issues as required; and e. Reporting to the Board on: i. Succession planning for Directors, executives and other senior managers; and ii. The diversity profile of employees. When a new Director is to be appointed, the Committee uses the skills matrix to prepare a short-list of candidates with appropriate skills and experience. A number of channels are used to source candidates, to ensure the Company benefits from a diverse range of individuals in the selection process. Where necessary, advice is sought from independent search consultants. The Committee’s nomination of existing Directors for reappointment is not automatic and is contingent on their past performance, contribution to the Company and the current and future needs of the Board and Company. The Board and the Committee are also aware of the advantages of Board renewal and succession planning. 48 49 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014b. The Transactions Code’s purpose is to Diversity policy restrict share trading by Directors and staff to circumstances where it is unlikely that there would be any perception of insider trading in relation to dealings in the Company’s securities or securities of other entities. The Company is committed to complying with the diversity recommendations published by ASX and promoting diversity among employees, consultants and senior management, and has adopted a policy in relation to diversity (“Diversity Policy”). c. The Transactions Code prohibits share trading by Directors and staff in securities where they are in possession of price sensitive information. The prohibition extends to dealings through related parties, as defined in the Corporations Act, and to encouraging family or friends to so deal. Communication of price sensitive information by a Director or staff member to a person who is reasonably likely to trade in securities is also prohibited. A comprehensive definition of ‘price sensitive information’ adopted by the Board is included in the Transactions Code. d. The Transactions Code clearly sets out the permitted trading windows and excepted trading circumstances by Directors and Officers of the Company. At all other times, trading by Directors and officers of the Company is prohibited unless written authority to trade is received and the transaction would not be contrary to law, for speculative gain, use insider information nor be perceived as unfair. The code requires written approval from the Chairman in advance of any transactions by staff for securities valued over $50,000. The Directors are satisfied that the Group has complied with its policies regarding trading in securities. A copy of the Share Trading Policy is available on the Company’s website. The Company defines diversity to include, but not be limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. The Diversity Policy adopted by the Board outlines the Company’s commitment to fostering a corporate culture that embraces diversity and provides a process for the Board to determine measurable objectives and procedures to implement and report against to achieve its diversity goals. The Nomination Committee is responsible for implementing the Diversity Policy, setting the Company’s measureable objectives and benchmarks for achieving diversity and reporting to the Board on compliance with the Diversity Policy. As part of its role, the Remuneration Committee is responsible for formulating and implementing a Company remuneration policy. Under the Diversity Policy, a facet of the role of the Remuneration Committee includes reporting to the Board annually on the proportion of men and women in the Group’s workforce and their relative levels of remuneration. The Board will assess and report annually to Shareholders on the Group’s progress towards achieving its diversity goals. The Diversity Policy is available on the Company’s website. In accordance with this policy and ASX Corporate Governance Principles, the Board has established objectives in relation to gender diversity. The position at 30 June 2014 is detailed as follows: Item Number of total employees Percentage of total employees Number of employees in senior executive positions Percentage of employees in senior executive positions Number of employees on the Board Percentage of employees on the Board Actual Men Women 323 24% 15 50% 5 83% 1,011 76% 15 50% 1 17% The Group’s focus is predominately on maintaining gender diversity, and more importantly, CTM offers flexible working arrangements to allow all employees and especially female employees, options to continue to work or to return to work during periods where they traditionally leave the workforce, for example, following parental leave. In accordance with the ASX Recommendations, the Group’s policies provide the framework for measurable objectives to be set out by the Board, and the progress towards achieving them, are as follows. Measure Base Camp – Frontline Development Program FY2014 FY2015 Objective 50% female gender participation. Expand this program to staff in international locations. Progress Female participation was 80% for the program. Pay Parity Review Objective A pay equity review and audit will be undertaken. Progress Review and audit have been completed.

Progress against each year’s measurable objectives will continue to be disclosed in the Annual Report along with the proportion of women in the workforce, in senior management and on the Board. PRINCIPLE 4: SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING Audit Committee The purpose of this Committee is to report to the Board on the establishment, maintenance and operation of control systems, including in relation to financial monitoring, internal and external reporting, as well as the adoption and application of appropriate ethical standards for the management of the Company and the conduct of the Company’s business. The Committee consists of Senior Executives and is chaired by a Non-Executive Director. Its current members are Stephen Lonie (Chairman), Greg Moynihan and Tony Bellas. The Committee is responsible for a number of matters including: a. Board and Committee structures, to facilitate a proper review function by the Board; b. Internal control framework, including management information systems; c. Compliance with internal controls; d. Internal audit function and management processes supporting external reporting; e.

Meetings of the Committee are expected to be held at least four times each year. A broad agenda is laid down for each regular meeting according to an annual cycle. The Committee invites the external auditor to attend each of its meetings. Details of Director attendance at Audit Committee meetings are set out in the Directors’ report on page 29. Corporate reporting The CEO and CFO state in writing to the Board in each reporting period that the Company’s financial reports present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Company’s financial position and operational results and that they are in accordance with relevant accounting standards. g.

Review of the external audit function, to ensure prompt remedial action by management, in relation to any deficiency in or breakdown of controls; j. Assessing the adequacy of external reporting for the needs of Shareholders; and k. Monitoring compliance with the Company’s Code of Conduct.

The performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually and applications for tender of external audit services are requested, as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs. PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”) was appointed as the external auditor in 2010. It is PwC’s policy to rotate audit engagement partners on listed companies at least every five years, and, in accordance with that policy, a new audit engagement partner was introduced this year. An analysis of fees paid to the external auditor, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, is provided in the Directors’ Report and in Note 30 to the financial statements. It is the policy of the external auditor to provide an annual declaration of their independence to the Audit Committee. The external auditor will attend the Annual General Meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report. PRINCIPLES 5 AND 6: MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURES AND RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS Continuous disclosure and shareholder communication A Share Trading and Continuous Disclosure Policy has been adopted by the Board to provide guidance to the Directors, identified employees including senior management, and other employees (“staff’) where the disclosure of information, which may materially affect the price or value of the Company’s shares, is required. The Board has adopted a Continuous Disclosure Policy (“Disclosure Policy”), within the Share Trading and Continuous Disclosure Policy, which sets out procedures to be adopted by the Board to ensure the Company complies with its continuous disclosure obligations, to keep the market fully informed of information which may have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities and to correct any material mistake or information in the market. The Board is responsible for determining whether information would have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities. The Disclosure Policy provides a framework for the Board and officers of the Company to internally identify and report information which may need to be disclosed and sets out practical implementation processes in order to ensure any identified information is adequately communicated to ASX and Shareholders. The Share Trading and Disclosure Policy also sets out the exceptions to the disclosure requirements and outlines when disclosure may be required in relation to the Company’s financing arrangements and the approval and disclosure process in relation to Director margin loans. Any non-compliance with the Share Trading and Continuous Disclosure Policy will be regarded as an act of serious misconduct. The Share Trading and Continuous Disclosure Policy is available on the Company’s website. The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the ASX. This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing and coordinating information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public. All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the Company’s website as soon as it is disclosed to the ASX. When analysts are briefed on aspects of the Group’s operations, the material used in the presentation is released to the ASX and posted on the Company’s website. 52 53 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014PRINCIPLE 7: RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK Risk Management Committee The Board is responsible for satisfying itself annually, or more frequently as required, that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control.

The adoption of these standards only affected the disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the reporting period ending 30 June 2014 and have not been adopted early by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out in the following table. 1. CORPORATE INFORMATION The financial report of Corporate Travel Management Limited and its controlled entities (the “Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2014 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of Directors on 28 August 2014. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. Corporate Travel Management Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Corporate Travel Management Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. Compliance with IFRS The consolidated financial statements of the Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000), unless otherwise stated. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities, fair value through profit or loss. Title of standard Nature of change Impact The new hedging rules align hedge accounting more closely with the Group’s risk management practices. As a general rule, it will be easier to apply hedge accounting in the future. The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. The Group is still considering the full impact. The Group has not yet considered the impact of the new rules on its revenue recognition policies. It will undertake a detailed assessment in the near future. AASB 9 Financial instruments AASB 9 sets out new rules for hedge classification, remeasurement and de-recognition. IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers The IASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue to replace IAS 18. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer – so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. While the AASB has not yet issued an equivalent standard, they are expected to do so in the second half of 2014. Mandatory application date/ Date of adoption by the Group Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2017. Expected date of adoption by the group: 1 July 2017. Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2017. Expected date of adoption by the group: 1 July 2017. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed, where necessary, to ensure consistency with policies adopted by the Group. (c) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Corporate Travel Management Limited and its controlled entities (the “Group”). Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent Company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-Group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. 60 61 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014 (d) Business combinations The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred is measured as the fair value of the assets acquired, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, and, for acquisitions prior to 1 July 2009, included costs directly attributable to the combination. For acquisitions after 1 July 2009, acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred, rather than being added to the cost of the business combination, as required by revised AASB 3 Business Combinations. Where equity instruments are issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. With limited exceptions, all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred, amount of any non- controlling interest in the acquired entity, over the net fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred of the acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the profit and loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired. Where settlement of any part of the 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 other income or other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest, in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. (e) Segment reporting AASB 8 Operating Segments requires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM). The CODM has been identified as a group of key senior managers, which is the steering committee that makes strategic decisions. Goodwill is allocated by management to groups of cash-generating units on a segment level. (f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements 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 entity and that are considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies management is required to exercise judgement. Those judgements involving estimations, may have an effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. ■ Override Revenue In addition to commission payments, the Group is eligible for override payments from its suppliers. These overrides are negotiated with individual suppliers and will typically include a combination of guaranteed payments and volume incentives. The volume incentives are recognised at the amount receivable when annual targets are likely to be achieved. The override revenue accrual process is inherently judgemental and is impacted by factors which are not completely under Group’s control. These factors include: ▪ Year-end differences As supplier contract periods do not always correspond to the Group’s financial year, judgements and estimation techniques are required to determine anticipated future flown revenues over the remaining contract year and the associated override rates applicable to these forecast levels. ▪ Timing Where contracts have not been finalised before the start of the contract period, override and commission earnings may have to be estimated until agreement has been reached. ▪ Re-negotiations Periodic re-negotiation of terms and contractual arrangements with suppliers may result in additional volume incentives, rebates or other bonuses being received. These payments may not be specified in existing contracts. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed in this report, as follows: ■ Value of intangible assets relating to acquisitions The Group has allocated portions of the cost of acquisitions to client contracts and relationships intangibles, valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. These calculations require the use of assumptions including future customer retention rates and cash flows. ■ Impairment of goodwill The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired on an annual basis. This assessment requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Refer to Notes 2(o) and 16 for further details. ■ Impairment of intangible with finite life Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. This assessment requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which the intangibles are allocated. Refer to Note 2(o) for further details. ■ Lease make- good The Group estimates its liability to provide for the restoration of leased premises by reference to historical data and by specific estimates on a premise by premise basis. ■ Allowance for doubtful debts The Group determines whether client and trade receivables are collectable on an ongoing basis. This assessment requires estimations of the individual recoverability of each debt and, if considered uncollectable, is subject to an impairment provision. Refer to Note 2(l). 62 63 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014(g) Foreign currency translation (i) Functional and presentation currency Items included in each of the Group entities’ financial statements 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 Company’s functional and presentation currency. Exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign operations and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences is recognised in the profit and loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operations are treated as the foreign operations’ assets and liabilities and translated at the closing rate. (h) Revenue recognition The Group has revised its revenue recognition policy for Pay Direct Commissions (PDC’s) during the period. For further details on the voluntary change in accounting policy, refer to Note 32. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity, and specific criteria set out are met. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measured until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. (ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit and loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets, such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets, are included in the fair value reserve in other comprehensive income. (iii) Foreign operations The results and financial position of all the foreign operations that have functional currencies different to the presentation currencies are translated into the presentation currency as follows: ■ Assets and liabilities for each Consolidated Statement of Financial Position item presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement; ■ Income and expenses for each profit and loss item in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates; and ■ All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows: ■ Revenue from sale of travel services Revenue from sale of travel services represents net revenue earned via commissions and fees, and also includes any commission payable by suppliers after completion of the transaction. Commission and fees from the sale of travel services is recognised when a travel booking is received and travel documents are issued. Commission payable by suppliers includes PDC’s, which is recognised upon receipt, the point at which it can be reliably measured, and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. Revenue relating to volume incentives is recognised at the amount receivable when annual targets are likely to be achieved. ■ Interest revenue Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. ■ Dividends Revenue is recognised when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established. ■ Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when the right to receive the revenue is established. (i) Finance costs This expense is recognised as interest accrues, using the effective interest method. This method calculates the amortised cost of a financial liability and allocates the interest expense over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability to the net carrying amount of the financial liability. (j) Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a rights to use the asset. Operating lease payments, which do not transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Incentives for entering into operating leases are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease income from operating leases, where the Group is a lessor, is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (k) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and on hand and short-term deposits, with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Client cash represents amounts from clients held before release to service and product suppliers, with a maturity of three months or less. For the purpose of the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. 64 65 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014(l) Trade and other receivables Trade and client receivables, which generally have 7-30 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and, subsequently, measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for impairment. Client receivables result from the provision of travel services to clients. Trade receivables result from other activities relating to the provision of travel services, such as commissions payable by suppliers. Collectability of trade and client receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis at an operating unit level. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An impairment provision is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivable. The amount of the impairment loss is the receivable carrying amount compared to the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within administration expenses. When a trade receivable, for which an impairment allowance had been recognised, becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against administration expenses in the profit and loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. (m) Income tax and other taxes The income tax expense (or revenue) for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted, or substantially enacted, by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. 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 tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Other taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: ■ When the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and ■ Receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are included in the consolidated cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. (n) Derivatives and hedging activities Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as either: ■ Hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedges); or ■ Hedges of a particular risk associated with the cash flows of recognised assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges); or ■ Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedges). At the inception of the hedging transaction, the Group documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. The fair values of various derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes are disclosed in Note 21. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months and it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability. 66 67 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014(i) Fair value hedge Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in profit or loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging fixed rate borrowings is recognised in profit or loss within finance costs, together with changes in the fair value of the hedged fixed rate borrowings attributable to interest rate risk. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss within other income or other expenses. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used, is amortised to profit or loss over the period to maturity using a recalculated effective interest rate. (ii) Cash flow hedge The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss within other income or other expense. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss (for instance when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place). The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in profit or loss within ‘finance costs’. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of forward foreign exchange contracts hedging export sales is recognised in profit or loss within ‘sales’. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory or fixed assets) the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are reclassified from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognised in profit or loss as cost of goods sold in the case of inventory, or as depreciation or impairment in the case of fixed assets. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing 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 cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately reclassified to profit or loss. (iii) Net investment hedges 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 in reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss within other income or other expenses. Gains and losses accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss when the foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold. (iv) Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in profit or loss and are included in other income or other expenses. (o) Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the profit and loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the following estimated useful lives and methods: Item Years Method Plant and equipment: Leasehold improvements 5 Straight Line Computer hardware 2.5 - 3 Straight Line Furniture, fixture and equipment 4 - 5 Diminishing Value or Straight Line The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial year end. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Impairment The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Derecognition An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset, calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. (p) Goodwill Goodwill acquired on a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the consideration transferred for the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. As at the acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination’s synergies. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Disposed goodwill in this circumstance is measured on the basis of the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. (q) Intangible assets Acquired from a business combination Intangible assets from a business combination are capitalised at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied to the class of intangible assets. 68 69 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014Software acquired not as part of a business combination Costs incurred in developing products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licenses that will contribute to future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are capitalised to software and systems. The useful lives of these intangible assets are assessed to be finite. Where amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives, this expense is taken to the profit and loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the expense category ‘depreciation and amortisation’. Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists, and, in the case of indefinite life intangibles, annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Useful lives are also examined on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis. A summary of the policies applied to the Group’s intangible assets is as follows: Item Method Client contracts and relationships Straight line - ranging between two and seventeen years Intellectual Property 5.00% - straight line Software 40.00% - straight line Internally generated/ acquired Acquired Acquired Acquired Gains or losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the profit and loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when the asset is derecognised. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are then written down to their recoverable amount. (r) Impairment of non-financial assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those cash flows from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. In assessing value in use, the estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. (s) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables and client creditors are carried at original invoice amount and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. These amounts are unsecured and are paid within terms ranging from 7 to 30 days from recognition. Client creditors result from provision of travel services and products to clients. Trade payables result from other activities required to provide those travel services, such as corporate services. (t) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense using the effective interest method. The Group does not currently hold qualifying assets but, if it did, the borrowing costs directly associated with this asset would be capitalised, including any other associated costs directly attributable to the borrowing and temporary investment income earned on the borrowing. Borrowings are removed from the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs. 70 71 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued. (u) Financial guarantee contracts Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value and, subsequently, at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation, where appropriate. The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the difference in net cash flows between the contractual payments under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations. Where guarantees in relation to loans or other payables of subsidiaries or associates are provided for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment. (v) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the profit and loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. (w) Employee Benefits (i) Short term obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries including non- monetary benefits, expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting period, are recognised in other payables and accruals in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. Liabilities for annual leave and accumulated sick leave, expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting period, are recognised in the provision for employee benefits in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulated sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. (ii) Other long term obligations Liabilities for long service leave are recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by the employees up to the reporting date, using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to the expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds, with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. (iii) Retirement benefit obligations Contributions to defined contribution funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or reduction in the future payments is available. (iv) Bonus plans The Group recognises a provision for future bonus payments where it is contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. (v) Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal, or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after reporting date are discounted to present value. (vi) Share-based payments Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees by way of a Share Appreciation Rights Plan (SARs). Information relating to the SARs Plan is set out in Note 27. The fair value of SARs granted is recognised as an employee benefits expense, with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the rights granted, which includes 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 SARs 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 CTM revises its estimates of the number of SARs 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 or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. (x) Contributed Equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (y) Dividends Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance dates. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. 72 73 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014(z) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated as net profit attributable to owners of the Company, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) divided by the weighted average number or ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. (aa) Parent entity financial information The financial information for the parent entity, Corporate Travel Management Limited, disclosed in Note 28, has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as follows: Diluted earnings per share are calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, divided by the weighted average number or ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element, and adjusted for: ■ Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends); ■ The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and ■ Other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the conversion into potential ordinary shares. (i) Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Corporate Travel Management Limited. (ii) Tax consolidation legislation Corporate Travel Management Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, Corporate Travel Management Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group 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, Corporate Travel Management Limited 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. The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Corporate Travel Management Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Corporate Travel Management Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Corporate Travel Management Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly- owned entities’ financial statements. The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts, to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to or distribution from wholly-owned tax consolidated entities. (iii) Financial guarantees Where the parent entity has provided financial guarantees in relation to loans and payables of subsidiaries for no compensation, the fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment. 3. SEGMENT REPORTING (a) Description of segments The operating segments are based on the reports reviewed by the group of key senior managers who assess performance and determine resource allocation. Following the acquisition of the Westminster Travel (refer Note 23) and also the appointment of Romeo Cuter as Chief Executive Officer of CTM North America, the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) are considered to be Jamie Pherous (MD) and Steve Fleming (CFO). Laura Ruffles continues in her role as CEO of ANZ. The CODM considers, organises and manages the business from a geographic perspective. Since the acquisition of Westminster Travel (refer Note 23), the CODM has identified three reportable segments being Travel Services Australia and New Zealand, Travel Services North America, and Travel Services Asia. There are currently no non-reportable segments. (b) Segment information provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers The CODM assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of adjusted EBITDA. This measurement basis excludes the effects of the costs of acquisitions and any acquisition related adjustments during the year. 74 75 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014The segment information provided to the CODM for the reportable segments for the year ended 30 June 2014 is as follows: Travel Services Travel Services Travel Services 2014 Australia & New Zealand $’000 North America $’000 Revenue from the sale of travel services Revenue from other sources Revenue from external parties Adjusted EBITDA Interest revenue Interest expense Depreciation and amortisation Income tax expense Total segment assests Total assests includes: Non-current assests - Plant and equipment - Intangibles Total segment liabilities 66,220 2,160 63,380 18,974 628 477 2,326 4,566 147,628 2,538 44,132 25,623 22,792 2 22,794 5,145 - 534 570 1,154 35,835 118 30,463 33,006 Asia $’000 20,244 1 20,245 4,745 1 3 703 679 Unallocated/ Eliminated $’000 Total $’000 - 109,256 (1,405) (1,405) - (374) (374) - - 758 110,014 28,864 255 640 3,599 6,399 131,993 (67,691) 247,765 715 34,436 75,038 - - (18,786) 3,371 109,031 114,881 Travel Services Travel Services 2013 Australia & New Zealand $’000 66,602 574 67,176 17,900 201 510 1,819 4,409 86,054 3,083 43,886 17,830 Revenue from the sale of travel services Revenue from other sources Revenue from external parties Adjusted EBITDA Interest revenue Interest expense Depreciation and amortisation Income tax expense Total segment assests Total assests includes: Non-current assests - Plant and equipment - Intangibles Total segment liabilities 76 North America $’000 Unallocated/ Eliminated $’000 10,371 10 10,381 1,687 - 214 260 293 - - - - - - - - Total $’000 76,973 584 77,557 19,587 201 724 2,079 4,702 36,200 (6,286) 115,968 83 31,828 29,019 - - - 3,166 75,714 46,849 (c) Other segment information (iii) Segment assets (i) Segment Revenue The revenue from external parties reported to the CODM is measured in a manner consistent with that in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

DIVIDENDS PAID AND PROPOSED Corporate Travel Management Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries have formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2008. The accounting policy in relation to this tax consolidation is set out in Note 2(m). Corporate Travel Management Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group. Members of the Group have entered into a tax sharing agreement in order to enable Corporate Travel Management Limited to allocate income tax expense to the wholly owned subsidiaries on a pro-rata basis. In addition, the agreement provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities amongst the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. Tax effect accounting by members of the tax consolidated group Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The tax funding agreement provides for the allocation of current taxes to members of the tax consolidated group in accordance with their accounting profit for the period, while deferred taxes are allocated to members of the tax consolidated group in accordance with the principles of AASB 112 Income Taxes. Allocations under the tax funding agreement are made at the end of each quarter.

An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that a receivable is impaired. The amount of the allowance has been measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the receivables and the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the relevant debtor.

It is expected that these other balances will be received when due. Fair value and credit risk Due to the short term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value of receivable. Collateral is not held as security, nor is it the Group’s policy to transfer (on-sell) receivables to special purposes entities. Market risk During the period, the Group entered the Asian travel market through its 75.1% acquisition of Westminster Travel. It is more common for trading terms to be offered by its Hong Kong operations. Westminster Travel has a history of minimal losses, resulting from bad debts or non-payment by customers. Interest rate risk Detail regarding interest rate risk exposure is disclosed in Note 21. 12.

TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Management recognises that there are various reasons the estimates used in these assumptions may vary. For cash generating units, there are possible changes in key assumptions that could cause the carrying value of the unit to exceed its recoverable amount.

PROVISIONS 2014 $’000 - - - - 2013 $’000 3,192 3,192 157 157 Current Bank loans Non-current Bank loans Financial facilities Australia and New Zealand On 23 December 2013, the Group renegotiated its facility with the ANZ Bank. The facility now includes accessible lines of credit totalling $31.7m. In addition, there are facilities for overdraft, merchant facilities and bank guarantees. The total facility is $40.3m and has terms ranging from 5 months to 3 years. The amount of this facility used, which relates mainly to bank guarantees, as at 30 June 2014, was $1.5m. The facility is fully secured by a fixed and floating charge over all existing and future assets and undertakings of Corporate Travel Management Group Pty Ltd. The interest rates applicable to these facilities are 3.12%-4.72% (2013: 3.86%-5.16%). Line fees in addition to interest are 1.00%-1.75% (2013: 1.50%-1.75%). The weighted average interest rate for all borrowings, including line fees, was 4.76% (2013: 5.78%). Fair values The carrying amount of the Group’s current and non-current borrowings approximate their fair value. The fair values have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing market interest rates varying from 3.12%-4.72% (2013: 3.86%-5.16%), depending on the type of borrowing. Interest rate and liquidity risk Details regarding interest rate and liquidity risk are disclosed in Note 21. Asia In addition to facilities with the ANZ Bank, there are two available bank loan facilities totalling $4,793,669 consisting of $684,809 from HSBC and $4,108,857 Standard Chartered Bank. The amount of these facilities used as at 30 June 2014 was $nil. Interest rates applicable to these facilities range from 3.21%-4.66%. Additional facilities are held for bank guarantees totalling $25,193,760 consisting of $13,246,518 from HSBC, $11,097,201 Standard Chartered Bank and First Bank, $850,040. The amount of these facilities used as at 30 June 2014 was $17,478,646. Interest rates applicable to these facilities range from 3.21%-4.66%. Refer Note 24.

The assumptions used to calculate the provision were based on current assessments of the possible timing of the restoration liability crystallising and on current restoration costs being accreted at rates of 1.1% to 2.4% (2013: 2.2% to 2.7%). Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months The current provision for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave, vesting sick leave and long service leave. For long service leave, it covers all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount of the provision of $1,933,000 (2013 - $1,847,000) is presented as a current liability, since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave that may not to be expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months: 2014 $’000 2013 $’000 Current leave obligations expected to be settled after 12 months 51 56 92 93 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 201420.

The Group’s capital structure includes a mix of debt (refer to Note 18), general cash (refer to Note 10) and equity attributable to the parent’s equity holders. When determining dividend returns to shareholders the Board considers a number of factors, including the Group’s anticipated cash requirements to fund its growth, operational plans, and current and future economic conditions. The Group is not bound by externally imposed capital requirements. While payments may vary from time to time, according to these anticipated needs, the Board’s current policy is to return between 50% to 60% of net profit after tax to shareholders. 2014 $’000 - 132,884 0% 2013 Restated $’000 3,349 69,155 4.84% Total borrowings Total equity Gearing ratio (b) Reserves The following table shows a breakdown of the ‘Reserves’ line item, per the Consolidated Statement of Financial Positon, and the movements in these reserves during the year.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise deposits with banks, overdraft facilities and borrowings. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities, such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and foreign exchange risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised in this Note. The Group is not exposed directly to commodity trading risks. Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument, are disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements. Interest rate risk As at 30 June 2014, the Group had no interest bearing borrowings, therefore the Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group has interest bearing assets (cash and cash equivalents) with a short turnover period. The interest earned from these assets is not considered material to the Group. The Group considers there to be an immaterial risk exposure as a result of interest rate returns on these assets. The Group constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis, consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. Credit risk The Group trades only with, creditworthy third parties and the Group’s policy is that all clients which wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures, and subsequent risk limits, which are set for each individual client in accordance with the Group’s policies. For some client receivables, the Group may also obtain security in the form of deposits. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis, with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not considered to be significant. With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Group’s cash (refer Note 10), is held at financial institutions with the following credit ratings: Region Australia and New Zealand North America Asia Total 2014 $’000 Moody’s Investor Service Rating 10,282 3,215 18,503 32,000 Aa2 A3 Aa1-Ba2 Client and Trade receivables are held with predominantly un-rated entities. Liquidity risk The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans and hire purchase contracts. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring cash flows and estimating future operational draws on cash reserves. The following table reflects all contractually fixed repayments and interest resulting from recognised financial liabilities as at 30 June 2014. The Groups Financial Liabilities comprise of Trade and Other Payables only, no derivative financial instruments are held. The respective undiscounted cash flows for the respective upcoming fiscal years are included in the following table. Cash flows for financial liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2014.

Forward exchange contracts are used to reduce foreign currency risk. Additionally, the Group has a multi-currency debt facility which allows for borrowings in the relevant entity’s functional currency. The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows: 2014 $’000 USD HKD NZD SGD NTD CNY MOP Others Total Cash and Cash Equivalents Trade and Other Receivables 75 40 2,116 507 362 393 1,217 2,434 3,686 1,324 1,032 1,095 - Related Party Loans 402 Trade and Other Payables (12,950) 1,308 - - - - - (2,973) (478) (1,837) (125) - - - - - 4,710 9,571 1,710 (18,363) - - - Total (10,039) 40 1,308 2,829 1,353 (443) 1,363 1,217 (2,372) 2013 $’000 USD NZD Total Cash and Cash Equivalents Trade and Other Receivables - - - - - - - Related Party Loans 269 1,086 1,355 Trade and Other Payables - Related Party Loans - - - - - - Total 269 1,086 1,355 Based on the 2014 balances, a 10% stronger / (weaker) Australian dollar against the currencies held, would result in movement of $326,275 / ($398,780). 22. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The Group measures and recognises the following assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis: There were no changes made to any of the valuation techniques applied as of 30 June 2014. ■ Contingent consideration. Fair value hierarchy Valuation inputs and relationships to fair value quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements is summarised as follows: 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurem AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level according to the following hierarchy: Description: Contingent Consideration Fair Value at 30 June 2014: $57,000 a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for Valuation technique used: Discounted cash flows identical assets or liabilities (level 1); Unobservable inputs: Forecast EBITDA b) Inputs other than quoted prices included within Discount rate: 3.65% level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (level 2); and c) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3). The following information represents the Group’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2014: Liabilities: Level 3 – Contingent Consideration $58,000 (30 June 2013: $14,793,000). Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) Fair values of other financial instruments The Group also has a number of financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet. For these instruments, their carrying value was considered to be a reasonable approximation of their fair value. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of the current receivables, current payables and current borrowings are assumed to approximate their fair value. The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments for the year ended 30 June 2014: Valuation processes The finance department of the Group performs the valuations of assets required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Audit Committee (AC). Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO, AC, and the finance team at least once every six months, in line with the Group’s reporting dates.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS Share appreciation rights The establishment of the CTM Share Appreciation Rights (SARs) Plan was approved by the Board on 19 October 2012. The SARs Plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for senior executives to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under the plan, participants are granted Share Appreciation Rights which only vest if certain performance standards are met, and the employee remains in service. Participation in the plan is at the Board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits. Once vested, a participant will be deemed to have automatically exercised all vested SARs and CTM will settle its obligation in line with the SARs Plan. There is no consideration payable by the participant upon exercising of vested SARs. When exercised, the conversion of a SAR to an equity or cash based settlement, is determined using a formula referencing the relevant share prices of CTM, the number of SARs exercised, and is at the Board’s sole discretion. Grants made during 2014 will vest on a scaled basis as follows: ■ 75% vest at 80% target achievement; and ■ 100% at 100% target achievement. For equity based settlements, the calculation is as follows: Equity Settlement Amount = ((SMV – BP) / SMV) x PQSR For cash based settlements, the calculation is as follows: Cash Settlement Amount = (SMV – BP) x PQSAR Where: ■ Equity Settlement Amount - is the number of shares to be issued or transferred to the relevant participant in equity settlement of the performance qualified SAR at exercise; ■ Cash Settlement Amount – is the amount paid to a participant in cash settlement of a performance qualified SAR at exercise; ■ SMV – the Subsequent Market Value is the market value of a CTM Ltd share as at the performance qualification date in connection with that SAR; ■ BP – the Base Price of the SAR as determined by the Board; and ■ PQSAR – is the total number of performance qualified SARs with the same Base Price held by the relevant participant. SARs granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. The following table are summarises the SARs granted under the plan: 2014 2013 Average Exercise Price per Share Right Number of SARs Average Exercise Price per Number of SARs Share Right As at 1 July Granted during the year Exercised during the year Forfeited during the year As at 30 June Vested and exercisable at 30 June - $0.00 - - - - 150,000 345,000 - - 495,000 - - $0.00 - - - - No SARs expired during the periods covered by this table. SARs outstanding at the end of the year have the following expiry date and share base prices: Grant date Expiry Date Base Price 5 November 2012 5 November 2015 1 July 2013 1 July 2016 $4.00 $5.00 SARS 30 June 2014 150,000 345,000 495,000 - 150,000 - - 150,000 - SARS 30 June 2013 150,000 - 150,000 ■ Expiry Date: 1 July 2016 (2013 – 5 November 2015). ■ Share Price at Grant Date: $4.05 (2013 - $3.75). ■ Expected price volatility of the Company’s shares: 25% (2013 – 25%). ■ Expected dividend yield: 2.7% (2013 – 2.7%). ■ Risk-free interest rate: 4.0% (2013 – 4.5%). The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility, based on the remaining life of the SARS, adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information. Fair value of SARs granted The assessed fair value at grant date of the SARs granted during the year ended 30 June 2014 was $0.40 per SAR (2013 - $0.57). The fair value at grant date has been determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model that takes into account the share price at the time of the grant, the exercise price, the term of the SAR, the expected dividend yield, the expected price volatility of the underlying share and the risk free interest rate for the term of the SAR. The fair value model inputs for SARs granted during the year ended 30 June 2014 included: ■ SARs are granted for no consideration and vest based on Corporate Travel Management Limited’s Earnings per Share growth over a 3 year vesting period. ■ Base price: $5.00 (2013 - $4.00). ■ Grant Date: 1 July 2013 (2013 - 5 November 2012). 110 111 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014 28.

EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD 32. VOLUNTARY CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY USTravel The acquisition of 100% of the shares of USTravel Inc. (“UST”), a North American based travel management company, was completed on 1 July 2014. As part of this transaction, an initial consideration of $5,561,441 (US $5,250,000) was paid via a mixture of cash and CTM Limited shares. Further cash contingent consideration of up to $2,919,320 (US $2,750,000) may also be payable on 31 August 2015, based on UST achieving annual profit before tax earnings of $US1,600,00 by 30 June 2015. Should actual profit before tax earnings not reach this level by 30 June 2015, the amount of the earn-out will be reduced. Avia International Travel On 6 August 2014, CTM announced the acquisition of Avia International Travel (“Avia”), a travel company based in Houston, Texas, effective from 1 September 2014. As part of this transaction, an initial consideration of $4,454,644 (US $4,125,000) will be paid via a mixture of cash and CTM Limited shares. Further cash contingent consideration of up to $5,175,159 (US $4,875,000) may also be payable on 30 November 2015, based on Avia achieving annual profit before tax earnings of $US1,800,000 by 31 August 2015. Should actual profit before tax earnings not reach this level by 31 August 2015, the amount of the earn-out will be reduced. Due to the recent timing of the acquisitions, CTM has not yet made a provisional calculation of the net identifiable assets or purchased goodwill. The financial effects of the transaction have not been brought to account at 30 June 2014. No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2014 that will significantly affect the Group’s operation, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Company or the Group for subsequent financial years. The Financial Report has been prepared on the basis of a retrospective application of a voluntary change in accounting policy relating to the recognition of revenue from Pay Direct Commissions (PDC). PDC is revenue derived from travel operators, mainly hotels and car rental companies, and determined using factors including lengths of stays and rental, and vendor’s selling rates. The new accounting policy is to recognise PDC revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income upon the commission being receipted by CTM. It was adopted on 1 July 2013 and has been applied retrospectively. The previous accounting policy was to recognise PDC revenue based on an accrual basis, when a travel booking was received and processed by CTM. AASB 118 Revenue allows revenue to be recognised once it can be reliably estimated and it is probable that economic benefits will flow to CTM. In assessing the revenue recognition policy, CTM’s management noted several factors, including a deteriorating rate of PDC recoveries and the uncertainty that surrounds PDCs at the time of travel booking. These factors made it increasingly difficult to reliably estimate PDC revenue at time of booking. CTM’s management concluded that it was not probable that revenue would flow to CTM until the point of receipt. As such, CTM’s management consider that this voluntary change in accounting policy will result in the financial report providing more relevant and reliable information. CTM’s recent corporate acquisitions recognise their PDC revenue consistent with the new policy. Given the significance of CTM’s growing overseas operations, it was also considered appropriate for consistency across the Group, to undertake a voluntary change to the accounting policy during the period. 116 30 June 2014 $’000 30 June 2013 $’000 Revenue Revenue before change in accounting policy Adjustment due to change in accounting policy Revenue after change in accounting policy Profit Before Income Taxes Profit before income tax before change in accounting policy Adjustment due to change in accounting policy Profit before income tax after change in accounting policy Earnings Per Share (Basic) As reported before change in accounting policy Adjustment due to change in accounting policy Restated after change in accounting policy Earnings Per Share (Diluted) As reported before change in accounting policy Adjustment due to change in accounting policy Restated after change in accounting policy 106,850 3,164 110,014 19,817 3,161 22,978 16.3 2.7 19.0 16.2 2.6 18.8 30 June 2014 $’000 30 June 2013 $’000 Trade And Other Receivables Trade receivables before change in accounting policy Adjustment due to change in accounting policy Consolidated Shareholders Equity 102,726 (1,440) 101,286 Consolidated shareholders equity before change in accounting policy 134,516 Adjustment due to change in accounting policy Cumulative effect from prior years 2,234 (3,866) 132,884 27,975 (5,128) 22,847 72,985 (1,160) (2,706) 69,119 78,964 (1,407) 77,557 17,382 (1,412) 15,970 16.3 (1.4) 14.9 16.3 (1.4) 14.9 1 July 2012 $’000 25,676 (3,657) 22,019 53,009 (2,706) - 50,303 117 CTM Annual Report 2014CTM Annual Report 2014Directors’ Declaration In the Director’s opinion: a.
