CALTEX – 
THE FREEDOM  
OF CONVENIENCE

Cars, planes and ships have forever been symbols of freedom. 
They made freedom obtainable. Freedom is a powerful 
ideal, a feeling that is empowering and liberating. Freedom 
and convenience are ultimately about choice and the ability 
to control your own outcomes. Distance, perishability, 
quality, range and time are no longer restrictive forces in 
the marketplace. Business and consumers are in the now 
generation, and this ultimately drives absolute freedom of 
choice for everyone. It’s our ability to deliver on this that drives 
our business and leverages our deep capabilities in making big 
things happen easily, everywhere.

Transport fuel sales volumes continued to 
grow in 2015. The higher sales of premium 
grades of petrol and diesel, and jet fuel, offset 
the long term decline in demand for unleaded 
petrol, including E10.

Reduction in refinery transport fuels 
production reflects the closure of the Kurnell 
refinery in late 2014. Optimal operation of the 
Lytton refinery pre and post the two month 
maintenance period resulted in excellent 
production levels in 2015 for our sole refinery.

Caltex recorded an after-tax profit for the 
2015 full year of $628 million, excluding 
significant items, on an RCOP basis. This is our 
preferred measure, as it excludes net inventory 
gains and losses and better represents the 
underlying performance of the business. 

On a historic cost basis, Caltex recorded an 
after-tax profit of $522 million for the 2015 full 
year. This includes a crude and inventory loss 
of approximately $85 million after tax.

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORT11 
 
REPORT FROM  
THE CHAIRMAN AND  
THE MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO

2015 was a milestone year in 
the continued transformation 
of Caltex. Nowhere was this 
more evident than in the 
first full year of operation of 
Australia’s largest fuel import 
terminal on the site of our 
former refinery at Kurnell.

GREIG GAILEY
Chairman

JULIAN SEGAL
Managing Director & CEO

2015 was a milestone year in the 
continued transformation of Caltex. 
Nowhere was this more evident than in 
the first full year of operation of Australia’s 
largest fuel import terminal on the site of 
our former refinery at Kurnell. In addition, 
our subsidiary Ampol Singapore assumed 
full responsibility for the sourcing of all 
crude and refined products following the 
exit of Chevron from our registry.

During the year, we continued to expand 
our retail network, increased sales of 
higher margin Vortex premium products 
and launched a test site for a refreshed 
convenience store offering. We are now 
firmly focused on maximising the available 
integrated margin between competitive 
product sourcing and meeting the needs 
of our many customers.

World-class safety and environmental 
performance remain an essential 
prerequisite for us to operate. While we 
achieved improved outcomes across many 
measures, particularly disappointing was 
a spate of minor incidents during the 
scheduled maintenance at Lytton refinery. 

Strong refinery margins enabled us to 
deliver record replacement cost of sales 
operating profit (RCOP), net profit after 
tax and significantly reduced debt. A 
dividend payout ratio of 40-60% of 
RCOP has been reinstated, following 
the successful conversion of the Kurnell 
site, and we have committed to a 
$270 million off-market share buy-back. 
This capital return enables us to use our 
franking credits effectively while still 
retaining sufficient financial flexibility 
to pursue growth opportunities as they 
present themselves.

Transforming our business
At the heart of our ongoing 
transformation is the evolution to a fully 
integrated transport fuels supply chain 
business. This will ensure we optimise 
all aspects of our value chain, including 
sourcing the best quality and most cost 
effective refined product; engaging the 
most reliable and cost-effective shipping 
and transport options; and safely and 
reliably delivering quality products on 
time to both our business to business 
customers and our retail customers.

Heading the transformation was the 
establishment of our sourcing and 
shipping capability within our wholly 
owned subsidiary, Ampol Singapore. 
Following the Chevron selldown in 
March 2015, we transitioned the sourcing 
exclusively to Ampol Singapore. This 
capability is the cornerstone for our 
future growth.

Continued focus on safety
Safety remains our number one priority. 
The disciplined, planned focus that the 
Board and management placed on safety 
in 2015 resulted in improved outcomes 
across many measures; nevertheless, 
there were some disappointments during 
the year. 

The most significant improvement 
occurred in process safety, which focuses 
on the safe manufacture, distribution and 
transportation of products, and the safe 
operation of all Caltex facilities. In 2015, 
Caltex had no tier one or tier two process 
safety events, compared with four tier 
one and two tier two in 2014. This result 
met the aggressive improvement targets 
set for the year. 

SHARE BUY-BACK

returning capital to shareholders, retaining 
sufficient flexibility to invest capital for growth 
and maintaining a strong balance sheet

Our people
The people of Caltex were instrumental 
in delivering Caltex’s record profits in 
2015. We commend them for living the 
Caltex values, taking on new challenges 
and developing the necessary capabilities 
for Caltex to succeed. The Board and 
management would like to take this 
opportunity to thank Caltex’s employees, 
contractors, franchisees, distributors 
and suppliers for their professionalism, 
expertise and dedication in 2015. 

Chairmanship
In December 2015, Elizabeth Bryan 
retired as Chairman and Non-Executive 
Director. A member of the Caltex Board 
since 2002 and Chairman since 2007, 
Elizabeth led the transformation of the 
business into an integrated transport fuels 
value chain business and its growth to 
become the outright leader in transport 
fuels across Australia. The Caltex Board 
and management would like to thank 
Elizabeth for her outstanding stewardship 
of the business over the past eight years.

Future growth
As the pace of change in our industry 
accelerates, the Board and management 
will continue to navigate and drive 
Caltex’s next phase of growth.

We will continue to invest in our supply 
chain, including our retail network and 
infrastructure within our core transport 
fuels business. In addition, we will 
continue to explore low-risk adjacent 
business opportunities, based around our 
core capabilities of retailing, supply chain 
management, infrastructure services and 
product sourcing. 

Ultimately, we remain focused on the 
pursuit to grow earnings, reduce volatility 
of earnings and cash flow and increase 
balance sheet flexibility to maximise 
longer term total shareholder returns.

In terms of personal safety, our total 
treated injury frequency rate (TTIFR) was 
2.35 per million hours worked, compared 
with 1.74 per million hours worked 
in 2014. This result was significantly 
impacted by six treated injuries 
during the Lytton refinery scheduled 
maintenance, which occurs every five 
years. Encouragingly, our personal safety 
performance, excluding this event, 
was broadly on target. 

In 2015, we achieved one of our best  
ever lost time injury frequency rates 
(LTIFR) of 0.62 per million hours worked. 
This compares with 0.76 per million hours 
worked in 2014.

Continued Supply  
and Marketing growth
Supply and Marketing delivered an 
earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) 
result of $672 million in 2015. This result 
includes a realised loss on US dollar 
denominated product payables of 
$26 million, less a price timing lag gain of 
$23 million. This compares with a 2014 
loss of $26 million and a price timing lag 
gain of $102 million. Excluding these 
externalities, the underlying Supply and 
Marketing EBIT of $675 million is up 5% 
on the comparable 2014 result.

Total sales volumes in 2015 were 5% 
below the previous year, reflecting the 
highly competitive commercial markets. 
From a product mix perspective, Caltex 
continues to drive premium fuel sales of 
Vortex 95, Vortex 98 and Vortex Diesel. 
Higher sales of premium grades of 
petrol and retail diesel continue to offset 
the long term decline in demand for 
unleaded petrol, including E10. 

Excellent Lytton 
refinery performance
The Lytton refinery delivered a record 
EBIT contribution of $406 million for 
the 2015 full year. This compares with 
an EBIT contribution of $218 million 
for 2014. The refinery benefited from a 
strong operating performance following 
the major scheduled maintenance. This 
enabled the refinery to take advantage of 
favourable externalities. This result also 
includes maintenance related supply costs 
of approximately $23 million, which is 
in addition to the $20 million previously 
allocated to Supply and Marketing, within 
the first half results.

The realised Caltex Refiner Margin (CRM) 
averaged US$16.46/bbl for the 2015 full 
year. This compares favourably with the 
2014 full year CRM of US$12.42/bbl. 

Financial results
For the 2015 full year, Caltex achieved 
an after-tax profit of $522 million on 
a statutory, or HCOP measure, including 
a profit relating to significant items of 
$29 million after tax. This compares with 
the 2014 full year profit of $20 million, 
which included a loss relating to 
significant items of $112 million after tax. 
The 2015 result includes a product and 
crude oil inventory loss of $135 million 
after tax, reflecting the fall in Brent crude 
oil prices and the offsetting impact of the 
lower Australian dollar. This compares 
favourably with an inventory loss of 
$361 million after tax in 2014. On an 
RCOP basis, which is our preferred 
measure, as it excludes net inventory 
gains and losses, Caltex recorded an 
after-tax profit for the 2015 full year of 
$628 million, excluding significant items. 
This compares with $493 million for the 
2014 full year, excluding significant items.

Dividend
The Board declared a final dividend of 
70 cents per share (fully franked) for the 
second half of 2015. Combined with the 
interim dividend of 47 cents per share for 
the first half (paid in September 2015) the 
total dividend per share for 2015 totals 
117 cents, fully franked. This represents a 
full year payout ratio of 50%. In 2014, the 
total dividend per share was 70 cents per 
share (fully franked) for 2014, equating to 
a payout ratio of 38%. 

Capital management
An off-market buy-back for shareholders 
was announced on 23 February 2016. 
This buy-back was undertaken in response 
to a capital management review which 
focused on maximising shareholder 
returns. While our priority continues to 
be investment in the business and in 
growth initiatives to deliver returns, we 
also recognise the benefit of returning our 
surplus franking credits to shareholders. 

We are aiming to buy back $270 million 
worth of shares, representing 
approximately 3.4% of our shares on 
issue. This will enable Caltex to achieve 
a balance between returning capital 
to shareholders, retaining sufficient 
flexibility to invest capital for growth 
and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTOperating and financial review
The purpose of the operating and financial review (OFR) is to 
enhance the periodic financial reporting and provide shareholders 
with additional information regarding the Group’s operations, 
financial position, business strategies and prospects. The review 
complements the Financial Report on pages 52 to 94.

Group strategy
Over the past five years, Caltex has transformed key elements 
of its business to place the company on a stronger footing to 
navigate the evolving marketplace and successfully deliver top 
quartile total shareholder returns. Critical components of this 
transformation include:

•  the closure of the Kurnell refinery and its conversion to a 

major import terminal

•  the establishment of the Ampol Singapore business, to 
directly manage sourcing and associated shipping of 
petroleum products to Australia

•  implementation of “Tabula Rasa”, a company-wide cost and 

efficiency program

•  a major maintenance program at Lytton refinery, to underpin 

cost and performance improvements

•  investment in further building out our retail network.

To date, our strategy has delivered strong results for the business 
and continues to position us to retain leadership in transport fuels 
in Australia, with a stronger retail convenience platform.

Our 2015 review of strategy builds on Caltex’s core competitive 
advantage provided by the strength of our integrated fuel 
value chain across supply, infrastructure, network and the retail 
and business-to-business channels. It also looks to continue to 
adapt the business to drive growth in a changing industry and 
consumer environment.

The “Protect and Grow” aspect of the strategy outlined on the 
next page is focused on capturing the many opportunities that 
exist to continue to enhance and expand the core fuel business. 
In the “Extend” aspect of the strategy, Caltex will build on its 
current assets, capabilities and customer base to develop the 
business in both existing and new adjacent markets.

The OFR may contain forward-looking statements. These 
statements are based solely on the information available at the 
time of this report, and there can be no certainty of outcome in 
relation to the matters to which the statements relate.

Company overview
Caltex, including predecessor companies, has operated in 
Australia for more than 100 years, focusing on providing 
ongoing, reliable, safe and efficient fuel supply to our customers.

Caltex is one of Australia’s leading transport fuel suppliers and 
convenience retailers and is listed on the Australian Securities 
Exchange. The head office is based in Sydney, and Caltex has 
approximately 3,000 employees working across the country. 
Caltex operates its business as one integrated value chain and 
incorporates operational excellence principles throughout 
supply, refining, logistics and marketing.

The principal activities of Caltex during the year were the 
purchase, refining, distribution and marketing of petroleum 
products and the operation of convenience stores throughout 
Australia. Aside from those discussed below, there were no 
significant changes in the nature of Caltex’s principal activities 
or in the state of affairs during the financial year.

Caltex operates one oil refinery, the Lytton refinery in Brisbane. 
This refinery produces petrol, diesel and jet fuel, along with 
small amounts of fuel oil and specialty products, liquid 
petroleum gas (LPG) and other gases. Caltex also buys refined 
products on the open market both overseas and locally, and 
along with the products that Caltex refines, Caltex markets 
these products across retail and commercial channels. These 
products are supplied to customers via a network of pipelines, 
terminals, depots and company-owned and contracted 
transport fleets.

Chevron previously held a 50% shareholding in Caltex, which 
was sold in March 2015. The sale was the largest of its kind 
in Australian corporate history, and the fact that the offer 
was almost two times oversubscribed is an overwhelming 
endorsement of Caltex’s strategy.

over 800 retail sites and over three million weekly customer visits, to build a new and 
differentiated convenience offer for customers across multiple formats, products, locations 
and channels.

All of these elements of strategy are underpinned by a strong focus on continually enhancing Caltex’s capabilities and 
competitiveness through:
•  Safety – systematically managing both personal and process safety across the business to drive towards zero injuries and 

environmental harm.

•  Efficiency – continuing to drive down costs and utilise assets more efficiently to ensure an industry-leading cost structure.
•  People – continuing to invest in our people to strengthen organisational capability and agility.
•  One Caltex – embedding a culture of delivering the best outcome for Caltex, through active collaboration across the business 

and a focus on optimal organisational, rather than business unit, outcomes.

Through the strategies outlined above, Caltex is committed to growing earnings by capturing opportunities across all elements 
of its existing business, as well as through extending into adjacent areas.

In pursuing this clear growth agenda in both the “Protect and Grow” and “Extend” aspects of the business strategy, Caltex will 
continue to assess potential acquisitions. These will only be pursued, however, where the strategic rationale is compelling and they 
deliver appropriate risk adjusted returns for shareholders.

Caltex’s measure of success continues to be to safely and reliably deliver top quartile total shareholder returns.

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTOperating and financial review continued
Caltex Group results 31 December 2015
On an historical cost profit basis, Caltex recorded an after-tax profit of $522 million for the 2015 full year, including a gain relating 
to significant items of $29 million after tax. This compares with the 2014 full year profit of $20 million, which included a loss 
relating to significant items of $112 million after tax. The 2015 result includes a product and crude oil inventory loss of $135 million 
after tax. The 2015 total inventory loss of $135 million compares with an inventory loss of $361 million after tax in 2014.

A reconciliation of the underlying result to the statutory result is set out in the following table:

The overall result reflects a strong Supply and Marketing profit, and excellent operational performance enabled the Lytton refinery 
to take advantage of strong refiner margins. Production was adversely impacted by the planned major maintenance carried out 
during the year.

1.  Replacement cost of sales operating profit (RCOP) excluding significant items (on a pre- and post-tax basis) is a non-International Financial Reporting 

Standards (IFRS) measure. It is derived from the statutory profit adjusted for inventory gains/(losses), as management believes this presents a clearer picture 
of the company’s underlying business performance, and is consistent with the basis of reporting commonly used within the global refineries industry. This is 
unaudited. RCOP excludes the impact of the fall or rise in oil and product prices (a key external factor). It is calculated by restating the cost of sales using the 
replacement cost of goods sold rather than the historical cost, including the effect of contract based revenue lags.

12

DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUEDDividend
The Board has declared a final dividend of 70 cents per share (fully franked) for the second half of 2015. Combined with the interim 
dividend of 47 cents per share for the first half, paid in September 2015, this equates to a total dividend of 117 cents per share for 
2015, fully franked. This compares with a total dividend payout of 70 cents per share (fully franked) for 2014. This is in line with a 
target dividend payout ratio of 40-60% of RCOP NPAT.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – INCOME STATEMENT

1.  Total revenue
	 ▼ 17%

Total revenue decreased primarily due to the impact of the significant fall in world crude oil 
prices and product prices which are denominated in US dollars. This decline was partly offset by 
the fall in the Australian dollar.

The weighted average Brent crude oil price in 2015 was US$51/bbl, compared to US$101/bbl 
in 2014. 

2.   Total expenses – 

replacement cost basis

Total expenses also decreased primarily as a result of lower replacement cost of goods sold due 
to the lower price of refined product.

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTOperating and financial review continued

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – INCOME STATEMENT CONTINUED

 RCOP EBIT BREAKDOWN1

Caltex Refiner Margin 
(CRM) 
$757m

CRM represents the difference between the cost of importing a standard Caltex basket of products to 
eastern Australia and the cost of importing the crude oil required to make that product basket. The 
CRM calculation basically represents: average Singapore refiner margin + product quality premium + 
crude discount/(premium) + product freight – crude freight – yield loss.

US dollar CRM was higher in 2015 at US$16.46/bbl, compared with US$12.42/bbl for 2014. In AUD 
terms, the CRM was 13.85 Australian cents per litre in 2015, compared with 8.70 Australian cents per 
litre in 2014.

Total refinery production in 2015 of all products was 5.6 billion litres compared with 10.2 billion litres 
in 2014, reflecting the closure of the Kurnell refinery and its conversion to terminal operations in 
October 2014.

Transport fuels margin 
$999m

Transport fuels comprise petrol, diesel and jet. The transport fuels margin consists of the earnings on 
these products within the Supply and Marketing segment and represents the integrated sourcing, 
distribution and sales margin.

Premium fuel sales were 4.3 billion litres in 2015, in line with 2014. Caltex’s overall transport fuel 
sales volumes declined 5% compared to the prior year. Total retail diesel margins have continued to 
grow strongly, driven by increased sales of the premium diesel product, Vortex Diesel, and as a result 
of growth in the diesel vehicle market.

The decrease in transport fuel sales volumes reflected a decrease in base grade fuel sales and jet sales. 
However, premium petrol sales volumes continue to grow, with Vortex Premium Unleaded petrol 
sales volumes increasing 4%. The ongoing decline in regular unleaded petrol sales is due to the 
continued increase in sales of vehicles requiring diesel or premium grades of petrol.

Jet volumes declined 5% off a strong prior corresponding period volume performance, driven 
by reduced domestic capacity and the shedding of unprofitable volume. Diesel fuel volumes 
decreased approximately 5%, and include impact of timing of a major supply contract loss and the 
commencement of a new larger long term supply contract.

Lubricants and specialties products include finished lubricants, base oils, liquefied petroleum gas, 
petrochemicals, wax and marine fuels.

Specialty products fell in 2015, mainly driven by a decline in fuel oil sales and a reduction in 
sales of gases following the closure of the Kurnell refinery. Lubricants volumes also declined in a 
competitive market.

Non-fuel income includes convenience store income, franchise income, royalties, property, plant and 
equipment rentals, StarCard income and share of profits from distributor businesses. Non-fuel income 
is in line with the prior year.

Operating expenses in this caption include Supply Chain, Marketing and Corporate operating expenditure.

The major drivers of the operating expenses decrease of $204 million are:
•  Kurnell transformation from refinery to terminal for full year 2015;
•  good control and low inflationary environment; and
•  partially offset by higher Corporate costs supporting capability developments, growth initiatives 

and higher bonuses in line with higher RCOP NPAT result.

Other includes a number of miscellaneous items that typically include: foreign exchange impacts, 
other refining gross margin impacts, gain/loss on disposal of assets and subsidiary earnings. The most 
significant component was the net foreign exchange loss of $26 million (after hedging).

3.   Net finance costs 

▼ 16%

4.   Significant items  

after tax 
▼ $141m

5.   Inventory losses  

after tax 
▼ $226m

Net finance costs decreased by $14 million compared with 2014, reflecting the lower cost of funding 
as a result of the composition of borrowings and lower average net debt for the period.

During 2015, the Group recognised a significant item gain of $32 million ($29 million after tax) on 
the sale of a surplus property in Western Australia.

During 2014, the Group incurred significant item losses of $112 million after tax in relation to the 
Group’s cost and efficiency review. These significant items related to redundancy expenses, contract 
cancellation costs, consulting fees and asset rationalisation costs.

Inventory losses in 2015 were driven by the significant decrease in crude oil prices in the second half 
of 2015, with crude oil falling from US$62/bbl in June 2015 to US$38/bbl in December 2015. This 
decrease resulted in a net inventory loss of $102 million after tax, compared to inventory losses of 
$361 million after tax in 2014.

Included in the 2015 inventory loss is a write-down of inventory on hand at year end of $34 million 
after tax to its net realisable value, due to the continued decline in crude oil prices in January 2016.

Similarly, the 2014 inventory loss included a write-down of inventory on hand at year end of 
$82 million after tax to its net realisable value, due to the continued decline in crude oil prices in 
January 2015.

Business unit performance
Supply & Marketing
Supply & Marketing delivered an EBIT of $672 million. 
This result includes a realised loss on US dollar denominated 
product payables of $26 million (2014 loss of $26 million) less a 
price timing lag gain of $23 million (versus a 2014 price timing 
lag gain of $102 million). Excluding these net externalities 
(net $3 million unfavourable), the underlying Supply & 
Marketing EBIT of $675 million, is up 5% on the 2014 result.

Sales volumes are 5% below last year, reflecting lower diesel 
demand as a number of LNG projects near completion and the 
timing of some major supply contracts. Caltex has vigorously 
defended contract volumes in 2015 and secured new supply 
volumes in 2016. From a product mix perspective, Caltex 
continues to drive premium fuels sales (including Vortex Diesel). 
Higher sales of premium grades of petrol and retail diesel 
continue to offset the long term decline in demand for unleaded 
petrol, including E10. The increased penetration of premium 
Vortex products has been driven by targeted investment in 
growth, including new retail service stations, the refurbishment 
of existing service stations and increased marketing spend.

Lytton Refinery
The Lytton Refinery has delivered a record 2015 EBIT 
contribution of $406 million. This compares with an EBIT 
contribution of $218 million for 2014 and a 2015 first half 
EBIT of $134 million. The 2015 result has benefitted from a 
strong operating performance following Lytton refinery’s major 
first half Turnaround & Inspection (T&I) that has enabled the 
refinery to take advantage of these favourable conditions. This 
result also includes T&I related supply costs of $23 million 
(including $20 million previously allocated to Supply and 
Marketing within the first half results).

The realised Caltex Refiner Margin (CRM) averaged 
US$16.46/ bbl for the 2015 full year. This compares to the 
first half 2015 average of US$16.00/bbl and the 2014 full year 
(US$12.42/bbl). A strong Singapore Weighted Average Margin 
has been boosted by lower crude premiums, yield loss and net 
freight costs, year on year. The lower than forecast December 
average Dated Brent crude oil price of US$38.21/bbl favourably 
impacted the refiner margin compared with that assumed in 
the 17 December 2015 profit outlook (US$40/bbl).

Corporate
Corporate costs increased to $102 million. This is higher 
than 2014 ($81 million), reflecting an increased investment 
in technology and new capabilities, including business 
development, and higher bonuses accrued in relation to the 
strong 2015 financial performance.

Balance sheet remains strong
Net debt at 31 December 2015 was $432 million compared 
with $715 million at 30 June 2015 and $639 million at 
31 December 2014. The lower debt reflects stronger second 
half earnings, disciplined capital expenditures, and the net 
impact of lower crude prices and a lower Australian dollar on 
working capital balances.

Capital Management – Off-Market Buy-Back
Caltex has previously indicated that it was focussing on the 
efficient allocation of capital. The successful closure of the 
Kurnell refinery in 2014 and the company’s continued evolution 
into an integrated transport fuels value chain business, 
enhanced by the company’s ongoing cost and efficiency 
program, has resulted in significantly improved cash flows. 
Today, Caltex is pleased to announce its intention to conduct a 
$270 million off-market share buy-back, which is expected to 
be completed during the second quarter of 2016.

The company’s overarching objective is to deliver top quartile 
Total Shareholder Returns. Our capital management framework 
is therefore designed to provide a balanced approach to the 
allocation of capital between maintenance to ensure a safe and 
sustainable business, investing for growth and returning capital 
to shareholders. The size of the buy-back will enable the return 
of surplus capital relative to the company’s target BBB+ credit 
rating, and maintain financial flexibility to take advantage of 
growth opportunities as they arise. Management continues 
to actively pursue options to grow the business based on our 
core capabilities including management of complex supply 
chains, infrastructure services and leveraging our convenience 
and mobility base. Our priority remains growth, but over 
time, both investment in growth opportunities and capital 
management are expected to play a role in delivering top 
quartile shareholder returns.

Capital Management – Off-Market Buy-Back continued
All of the relevant details of the Buy-Back will be set out in a booklet which Caltex shareholders should start to receive from 3 March 2016. 
A summary of the buy-back details, including the proposed timetable, are contained in the 2015 Full Year Results investor presentation.

Shareholders should seek advice as to the taxation consequences for them of participating in the Buy-Back. As the Buy-Back will 
have different tax consequences for different shareholders, each shareholder’s decision to participate will be determined by their 
own personal circumstances. In some circumstances (particularly those shareholders who are on a low marginal tax rate), selling 
their Shares under the Buy-Back may be more advantageous to selling their Shares on market.

1. 

 Working capital 
▼ $18m

The decrease in working capital is primarily due to lower inventory balances due to the fall in crude oil 
and product prices. The decrease is partially offset by:
•  lower payables, partially offset by lower receivables, due to the fall in crude oil and product prices in 

2015, net of the impact of the lower Australian dollar, and

•  a decrease in current redundancy and environmental provisions during 2015.

2. 

 Property, plant 
and equipment 
▲ $239m

The increase in property, plant and equipment is due to capital expenditure and accruals, including 
major cyclical maintenance, of $437 million. This is partly offset by depreciation of $178 million and 
disposals of $20 million.

3. 

 Intangibles 
▼ $5m

4. 

 Net debt 
▼ $207m

The decrease in intangibles is due to the impairment of software of $12 million, partially offset by the 
acquisition of goodwill and intangibles from Hawkins Fuels of $5 million and the acquisition of software 
of $16 million, less depreciation of $14 million.

Net debt decreased by $207 million to $432 million at 31 December 2015. Caltex’s gearing at 
31 December 2015 (net debt to net debt plus equity) was 13.4%, decreasing from 20.2% at 
31 December 2014. On a lease-adjusted basis, gearing at 31 December 2015 was 27.8% compared 
with 34.2% at 31 December 2014.

The increase in net cash inflows from operating activities is primarily due to lower fuel excise 
payments, lower borrowing costs and lower tax payments.

The decrease in net investing cash outflows is due lower payments for property, plant and 
equipment, partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of assets.

The net financing outflow in 2015 arose from dividend payments. Net proceeds/repayment of 
borrowing was nil, as there were no drawdowns or repayment of fixed borrowings in the period.

The net financing outflow in 2014 arose from dividend payments and the repayment of US private 
placement facilities.

Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure in 2015 totalled $454 million. Excluding 
major turnaround and inspection (T&I) spending of $91 million, 
capital expenditure was $363 million. Capital expenditure 
in 2016 is expected to range between $370 million and 
$420 million.

Business outlook and likely developments
This section includes information on Caltex’s prospects for 
future financial years. As Caltex’s financial prospects are 
dependent to a significant extent on external factors, such 
as the exchange rate and refiner margins, it is difficult to 
provide an outlook on Caltex’s financial prospects. Therefore, 
this section includes a general discussion of the key business 
drivers. To the extent that there are statements which contain 
forward-looking elements, they are based on Caltex’s current 
expectations, estimates and projections. Such statements 
are not statements of fact, and there can be no certainty of 
outcome in relation to the matters to which the statements 
relate. Accordingly, Caltex does not make any representation, 
assurance or guarantee as to the accuracy or likelihood of 
fulfilment of any forward-looking statement.

Overview
Caltex’s focus for the short term is to remain the outright leader 
in transport fuels in Australia. In support of this, short term 
priorities include the optimisation of the entire value chain from 
product sourcing to customer, underpinned by the company’s 
product sourcing requirements via Ampol Singapore.

The Lytton refinery will continue to focus on capturing further 
operational and margin improvements.

The company will continue the organisation-wide cost and 
efficiency value program (“Tabula Rasa”).

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTOperating and financial review continued
Business outlook and likely developments continued
Supply and Marketing
The industry landscape remains highly competitive. This is 
expected to continue, with new industry players competing in 
the market.

Caltex remains committed to building a focused strategy for 
growth by targeting high growth products, geographies and 
channels, including continuing to build and leverage its supply 
chain across its national network.

This will involve the continuation of its retail network expansion 
and refurbishment and the increased emphasis on inorganic 
growth, leveraging core capabilities of retailing, supply chain 
management and infrastructure services.

The company’s infrastructure enables Caltex to supply product 
to customers safely and reliably. It is this sustained investment 
in infrastructure that has enabled Caltex to attain the outright 
leadership in transport fuels across Australia.

Caltex remains committed to ongoing investment to broaden 
and enhance its supply chain.

The closure of the Kurnell refinery (in the fourth quarter of 2014) 
has seen the amount of crude oil imported for Caltex refining 
reduce, while imports of refined fuel products are increasing. 
In adapting and evolving to the changing market conditions, 
Caltex established an office in Singapore to grow and strengthen 
its product sourcing supply via Ampol Singapore (a wholly 
owned subsidiary of Caltex Australia). Ampol Singapore’s 
primary role is to manage the sourcing of transport fuels product 
supplies and related shipping to Australia.

Lytton
The Lytton refinery is now Caltex’s sole refinery. Caltex will 
continue to maintain an ongoing focus on capturing further 
operational and margin improvements at Lytton.

Caltex considers itself operationally well placed to ensure that 
the company remains the outright leader in providing transport 
fuels to Australia.

Business risks and management
The key business risks that could have an impact on Caltex 
achieving its financial goals and business strategy are discussed 
below. In addition to the risk management procedures 
discussed below, Caltex has adopted a risk management 
framework to proactively and systematically identify, assess 
and address events that could potentially impact its business 
objectives. This framework integrates the consideration of risk 
into the company’s activities so that:
•  risks in relation to the effective delivery of the company’s 

business strategy are identified

•  control measures are evaluated, and
•  where potential improvements in controls are identified, 
improvement plans are scheduled and implemented.

These risks are assessed on a regular basis by management, 
and material risks are regularly reported to the Board and its 
committees. These reports include the status and effectiveness 
of control measures relating to each material risk. The 
Board, the Audit Committee, the OHS & Environmental Risk 
Committee and the Human Resources Committee each receive 
reports on material risks relevant to their responsibilities. 

The Board and the OHS & Environmental Risk Committee also 
receive quarterly risk updates throughout the year.

Caltex Refiner Margin
The Caltex Refiner Margin (CRM) is a key metric which drives 
the profitability of Caltex’s refinery. The CRM represents 
the difference between the cost of importing a standard 
Caltex basket of products to eastern Australia and the cost of 
importing the crude oil required to make that product basket. 
A low CRM will adversely impact Caltex’s refining earnings and 
cash flows.

The CRM can be negatively impacted by a range of factors:
•  a decline in global and regional economic activity, leading 

to a surplus in refining capacity

•  increased regional refinery capacity ahead of 

demand growth

•  a decrease in product freight rates relative to crude 

freight rates

•  an increase in the premium paid for light/sweet (e.g. Brent) 
crudes used by Caltex compared with the heavy/sour crudes 
used by major refineries in the region (the light/heavy 
spread), and

•  the A$ strengthening versus the US$ (as the CRM 

components are US$ based, strengthening of the A$ relative 
to the US$ reduces the A$ revenue earned by Caltex).

Commodity price risk
Caltex is exposed to the risk of both crude and finished product 
price movements, as these impact Caltex’s earnings and cash 
flows. Caltex seeks, through policy, to neutralise adverse 
basis and timing risk brought about by purchase and sales 
transactions that are materially outside the normal operating 
conditions of Caltex. Caltex’s policy has been not to hedge 
refiner margins. However, given the unusual strength in 
regional refiner margins during 2015, Caltex hedged a portion 
of its third quarter 2015 refiner margins in order to support 
near term earnings. Caltex utilises both crude and finished 
product swap contracts from time to time, on specific cargoes, 
to manage the risk of price movements (basis and timing).

Foreign exchange
Caltex is exposed to the effect of changes in exchange rates 
on crude and product payables, refiner margin and capital 
expenditure. As Caltex purchases crude and products in US 
dollars, a decrease in the A$:US$ exchange rate between the 
time Caltex assumes liability for the crude and the time it 
subsequently pays for that crude will negatively impact Caltex’s 
payables, earnings and cash flows.

Additionally, the CRM is determined principally with reference 
to the US dollar Singapore spot product price relative to the US 
dollar Brent crude price. An increase in the A$:US$ exchange 
rate will adversely impact Caltex’s Australian dollar refiner 
margin, and therefore refining earnings and cash flows.

Caltex has implemented a foreign exchange hedging policy 
of 80% of Caltex’s US dollar denominated crude and product 
payables exposure (after applying natural hedges). The 
instruments used to manage foreign exchange risk expose 
Caltex to fair value foreign exchange rate risk and counterparty 
risks. Exposure limits are set on each counterparty to ensure 
that Caltex is not exposed to excess risks.

18

DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUEDLiquidity risk
Due to the nature of the underlying business, Caltex must 
maintain sufficient cash and adequate committed credit facilities 
to meet the forecast requirements of the business. From time 
to time, Caltex will be required to refinance its debt facilities. 
There is no certainty as to the availability of debt facilities or 
the terms on which such facilities may be provided to Caltex in 
the future. Caltex seeks to prudently manage liquidity risk by 
maintaining adequate banking facilities and reserve borrowing 
facilities, with an extended facility maturity profile.

Operational risk
The nature of many of Caltex’s operations is inherently risky. 
Major hazards may cause injury or damage to people and/or 
property. Major incidents may cause a suspension of certain 
operations and/or financial loss.

Caltex’s operations are heavily reliant on information 
technology. While these systems are subject to regular review 
and maintenance, and business continuity plans are in place, 
if these systems are disrupted due to external threat or system 
error, this may have an adverse effect on Caltex’s operations 
and profitability.

Competitive risk
Caltex operates in a highly competitive market space, and 
could be adversely impacted by new entrants to the market or 
increased competition from existing competitors, changes in 
contractual terms and conditions with existing customers, and/
or the loss of a major customer.

Environmental risks
Caltex imports, refines, stores, transports and sells petroleum 
products. Therefore, it is exposed to the risk of environmental 
spills and incidents. It is also responsible for contaminated sites 
which it operates or has previously operated.

Demand for Caltex’s products
Caltex’s operating and financial performance is influenced by a 
variety of general economic and business conditions, including 
economic growth and development, the level of inflation and 
government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. In a global 
or a local economic downturn, demand for Caltex’s products 
and services may be reduced, which may negatively impact 
Caltex’s financial performance.

Labour shortages and industrial disputes
There is a risk that Caltex may not be able to acquire or retain 
the necessary labour for operations and development projects. 
This may disrupt operations or lead to financial loss.

Credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if 
counterparties failed to perform as contracted. Primary credit 
exposure relates to trade receivables.

Regulatory risk
Caltex operates in an extensively regulated industry and 
operates its facilities under various permits, licences, approvals 
and authorities from regulatory bodies. If those permits, 
licences, approvals and authorities are revoked or if Caltex 
breaches its permitted operating conditions, it may lose 
its right to operate those facilities, whether temporarily or 
permanently. This would adversely impact Caltex’s operations 
and profitability.

Changes in laws and government policy in Australia or 
elsewhere, including regulations, licence conditions and fuel 
quality standards, could materially impact Caltex’s operations, 
assets, contracts, profitability and prospects.

Events subsequent to the end of the year
Joanne Taylor was appointed Executive General Manager, 
Human Resources effective 5 February 2016. Mr Willshire will 
retire from the company effective 30 April 2016.

On 23 February 2016, the Group announced its intention to 
conduct a $270 million off-market share buy-back, which is 
expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2016.

There were no other items, transactions or events of a material 
or unusual nature, that, in the opinion of the Board, are likely to 
significantly affect the operations of Caltex, the results of those 
operations or the state of affairs of the Group subsequent to 
31 December 2015.

Environmental regulations
Caltex is committed to compliance with Australian laws, 
regulations and standards, as well as to minimising the impact 
of our operations on the environment. The Board’s OHS & 
Environmental Risk Committee addresses the appropriateness of 
Caltex’s OHS and environmental practices to manage material 
health, safety and environmental risks, so that these risks are 
managed in the best interests of Caltex and its stakeholders.

Caltex sets key performance indicators to measure 
environmental, health and safety performance and drive 
improvements against targets. In addition to review by 
the Board, progress against these performance measures is 
monitored regularly by the Managing Director & CEO and the 
General Managers.

Risks are examined and communicated through the Caltex Risk 
Management Framework, an enterprise-wide risk management 
system which provides a consistent approach to identifying 
and assessing all risks, including environmental risks. Under 
the framework, risks and controls are assessed, improvements 
identified, and regular reports are made to management and 
the Board.

The Caltex Operational Excellence Management System 
is designed to ensure that operations are carried out in an 
environmentally sound, safe, secure, reliable and efficient manner. 
Its operating standards and procedures support the Caltex 
Environment Policy, and the Caltex Health and Safety Policy.

In 2015, Caltex made its seventh submission under the National 
Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme, reporting energy 
consumption and production as well as greenhouse gas 
emissions from Group operations. Caltex also continued to 
disclose information on emissions under the National Pollutant 
Inventory. Caltex is a signatory to the Australian Packaging 
Covenant, with 100% compliance among Caltex product 
suppliers and 40% of current packing reviewed using the 
Sustainable Packaging Guidelines.

Compliance with environmental regulations
A total of 19 environmental protection licences were held 
by companies in the Caltex Group in 2015 in respect of one 
refinery site, 12 terminals, three marketing facilities and three 
aviation refuelling facilities.

19

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTEnvironmental regulations continued
Compliance with environmental regulations continued
Any instances of non-compliance against these licences were 
reported to the environmental regulator. All significant spills 
and environmental incidents were recorded and reported as 
required to government authorities.

Regular internal audits are carried out to assess the efficacy 
of management systems to prevent environmental incidents, 
as well as to control other operational risks. Improvement 
actions determined through the audit process are reviewed 
by the Board’s OHS & Environmental Risk Committee and 
senior management.

Caltex is committed to achieving 100% compliance with 
environmental regulations and to ensuring that all breaches 
have been investigated thoroughly, and corrective actions are 
taken to prevent recurrence.

In terms of environmental infringements in 2015, Caltex’s 
Kurnell terminal:
•  received one penalty infringement notice of $1,000 from the 
NSW Environment Protection Authority (NSW EPA) relating 
to the delay in publishing monitoring data, and

•  entered into an Enforceable Undertaking with the NSW EPA 
to provide $120,000 to a number of local environmental 
programs as a result of a water pollution incident which 
occurred when the Kurnell refinery was still operational. 
During heavy rain on 24 March 2014, oily water was 
discharged from the refinery into Botany Bay.

Caltex has pleaded guilty to a Tier 1 offence under the Protection 
of the Environment Operations Act 1997 in respect of a loss of 
containment into a tank bund at Caltex’s Banksmeadow Terminal 
in July 2013. Those proceedings were commenced by the NSW 
EPA in 2014 and the matter is currently before the Court for a 
determination on penalty. Caltex has entered into an Enforceable 
Undertaking (EU) with SafeWork NSW in relation to the same 
incident, and the details of the EU are published below.

Additionally, the Queensland Department of Environment and 
Heritage Protection commenced proceedings against Caltex for 
two separate incidents described below:
•  The first involved breaches of Caltex’s licence conditions 
and failing to carry out certain activities with respect to a 
trackable waste, being residual ethyl mercaptan contained in 
some redundant vessels which were being disposed of. Ethyl 
mercaptan is an odourant used to give LPG its characteristic 
smell. Caltex had engaged a specialist independent 
contractor to handle this task. Caltex pleaded guilty and was 
fined $40,000. In separate proceedings, Caltex’s specialist 
waste contractor was also fined.

•  The second related to the release of catalyst dust (fine, 

inert sand-like material) from the Lytton refinery’s Fluidised 
Catalytic Cracker Unit (FCCU) during a unit restart in May 
2014. During this restart, sudden changes in the system 
pressure resulted in 80-90 tonnes of regenerated catalyst 
dust loss to the atmosphere through the unit stack. Caltex 
pleaded guilty and was fined $20,000.

Caltex regrets that the above incidents occurred and, in each 
case, undertook a detailed investigation into the causes and has 
taken positive steps to minimise the risk of re-occurrence.

Notice of Acceptance of an Enforceable Undertaking under 
Part 11 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011
On 12 July 2013, 157,205 litres of unleaded petrol was released 
from a storage tank into a purpose built bund at Caltex Australia 
Petroleum Pty Ltd’s (ABN 17 000 032 128) (Caltex) premises 
at the Banksmeadow Terminal (BMT) during a planned transfer 
from the water draw valve of the storage tank. Two workers 
involved in the transfer were taken to hospital and discharged 
shortly afterwards.

SafeWork NSW investigated the incident and subsequently 
alleged that Caltex contravened section 19 of the Work Health 
and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act).

This notice has been placed under the terms of an Enforceable 
Undertaking and acknowledges acceptance of an undertaking 
that is enforceable under the WHS Act, from Caltex, as 
settlement of the above mentioned alleged contravention.

The undertaking requires the following actions:
•  Continue to progress various internal work health and 
safety initiatives relating to Caltex’s “Permit to Work 
System”, emergency management training and hazard 
identification training.

•  Fund the training of five fire fighters at Fire and Rescue NSW 
(FRNSW) in relation to advanced petroleum fire-fighting in 
Texas, Houston, USA.

•  Fund the provision of an online training program for FRNSW 

in relation to responding to fires and other emergency 
events at petrochemical facilities.

•  Continue discussions in good faith with FRNSW with a view 
to agreeing to a principles of agreement in relation to the 
operation of a live fire training facility at the Caltex Kurnell 
Terminal by FRNSW.

•  Invest in the development of a mobile application in relation 
to contractor management that will be available free of 
charge to all businesses across Australia in any industry.
•  Provide webinar training to small to medium enterprises 

that manage the use of petrochemicals in relation 
to management of organisational change, drug and 
alcohol programs, process safety key performance 
indicators (KPIs) and implementing Global Harmonisation 
System requirements.

Any incident of this nature occurring on one of the company’s 
sites is a matter of regret, especially given Caltex’s longstanding 
commitment to work health and safety. As a responsible local 
employer and business, we apologise for the disturbance caused 
to the Botany community immediately following the incident. 
We focus every day on continuously improving every aspect of 
our operations to ensure that we meet our own expectations 
and those of the community.

The full undertaking and general information about Enforceable 
Undertakings is available at www.safework.nsw.gov.au.

OUTCOME

As foreshadowed in the 2014 Remuneration Report, base salaries for Senior Executives increased by an 
average of 10%. These increases were determined by the Board, based on recommendations to the Human 
Resources Committee by an independent remuneration consultant. These increases shifted Senior Executive 
fixed remuneration levels closer to our desired market positioning of the median of our chosen peer group 
and compensated Senior Executives for prior years’ pay restraint.

RCOP NPAT performance in 2015 was 134% of target and the average 2015 STI award for Senior Executives 
was 146% of target. This outcome demonstrates the strong alignment between STI payments and 
profit outcomes. 

2012: The 2012 LTI grant was subject to the achievement of two relative TSR measures. 75% of the grant 
was assessed against S&P/ASX 100 companies and 25% of the grant was assessed against a group of six 
international refining and marketing companies. This grant had a performance period from 1 January 2012 
to 31 December 2014.

Over the 2012-2014 performance period, Caltex’s share price increased from $11.09 to $34.21 and its 
TSR was 256%. This placed Caltex at the 95.8th percentile against S&P/ASX 100 companies and at the 
66.7th percentile against the selected group of international refining and marketing companies. As a result, 
88.9% of the 2012 grant vested in April 2015, with the remaining 11.1% lapsing. Actual LTI earned by 
Senior Executives in 2015 reflects this strong performance and is aligned with the shareholder experience.

2013: The 2013 LTI grant was subject to the achievement of relative TSR against S&P/ASX 100 companies 
(60%), free cash flow (20%) and a mix of strategic measures (20%). This grant had a performance period 
from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2015.

Over the 2013-2015 performance period, Caltex’s share price increased from $19.21 to $37.70 and its TSR 
was 200%. This placed Caltex at the 82nd percentile against S&P/ASX 100 companies. We also achieved 
97.9% of our free cash flow target and the Board determined that performance against the strategic 
measures was almost at stretch performance (allowing 95.75% of this tranche to vest). As a result, 80.49% 
of the 2013 grant will vest on 1 April 2016 and the remaining 19.51% will lapse.

No clawback occurred in respect of the LTI in 2015.

1d. Summary of 2015 Non-executive Director fees
Non-executive Director fees are fixed and do not have any variable components. The Chairman receives a fee for chairing 
the Caltex Board and is not paid any other fees. Other Non-executive Directors receive a base fee and additional fees for each 
additional Committee chairmanship and membership, other than the Nomination Committee where no additional fee is paid. 
In FY15, the Chairman’s fee and Non-executive Director base fees increased by 3%.

For FY15, superannuation contributions were made at a rate of 9.5%. Superannuation was not paid for overseas directors and no 
additional retirement benefits are paid.

Fees paid to Non-executive Directors are subject to a maximum annual Non-executive Director fee pool of $2,250,000 (including 
superannuation). This fee pool was approved by shareholders at the 2015 AGM.

See sections 4a and 4b for further detail.

1e. Outlook for FY16 (unaudited)
In 2015, the Board commissioned a review of the executive variable pay arrangements which was undertaken by 
PricewaterhouseCoopers. The review found that our remuneration arrangements were fit for purpose. Accordingly, the FY16 
remuneration arrangements for Senior Executives will remain largely consistent with FY15.

Key changes to remuneration arrangements in FY16 are outlined below:

CHANGE

COMMENTARY

Share retention 
arrangements

The share retention arrangements (that were introduced in 2013) will first apply to LTI awards that vest in 
April 2016.

The share retention arrangements for the 2013, 2014 and 2015 awards require 25% of vested shares 
to be held for an additional four years (following the end of the three year performance period). These 
arrangements were implemented to require executives to build up and maintain more sizeable shareholdings 
in Caltex over a longer period of time and corresponded with the removal of our short term incentive 
deferral arrangements.

As the purpose of the share retention arrangements is to create alignment between executives and 
shareholders, the Board determined that for the 2016 awards (which potentially vest in April 2019) and 
future awards, the share retention arrangements would no longer apply if the executive holds 100% of their 
base salary in Caltex shares in the month prior to the vesting date.

MD & CEO 
remuneration

The Board determined to freeze the fixed remuneration of the MD & CEO in 2016 and instead to direct 
his pay increase into the STI, which is subject to the achievement of rigorous performance conditions.

The MD & CEO’s target STI opportunity will increase from 50% to 60% of base salary and his stretch 
STI opportunity will increase from 100% to 120% of base salary. The Board determined that this was 
appropriate given:
•  advice from Aon Hewitt, the Human Resources Committee’s independent remuneration adviser, indicated 
that target STI opportunities for MD & CEOs in our peer group were typically around 90-100% of fixed 
remuneration and were typically higher (in percentage terms) than other members of the leadership 
team, and

•  the increase in the STI opportunity brings the MD & CEO’s target STI and total target remuneration closer 
to the median of the customised peer group that is used for benchmarking purposes. See section 3a for 
further information on the peer groups used.

Senior Executive 
remuneration 

Excluding the MD & CEO and the EGM Supply Chain Operations, Senior Executive remuneration will 
increase on average by 2.26% in April 2016. As noted above, the MD & CEO’s fixed remuneration was 
frozen for 2016. The EGM Supply Chain Operations will receive a fixed remuneration increase of 13.6%.

This restrained level of average base salary increase is below forecast market movement and is below the 
budgeted salary increase which will apply to the majority of Caltex employees.

These increases were determined by the Board, upon the recommendation of the Human Resources 
Committee, taking into account the market data, forecast market movements, and the remuneration 
recommendations made by Aon Hewitt, and the Senior Executive’s performance over the year.

The larger remuneration increase awarded to the EGM Supply Chain Operations was determined to be 
appropriate by the Board taking into account the market data, his strong performance and strategic 
contribution, and internal relativities to his peers. 

Non-executive Director base fees will increase by 2.8% in January 2016. The Board determined that this 
pay increase was appropriate taking into account the market data, forecast market movements, and the 
remuneration recommendations made by Aon Hewitt. Committee fees will remain unchanged.

Shareholder approval will be sought at the 2016 Annual General Meeting to increase the Non-executive 
Director fee pool by $250,000 or 11.11% to $2.5 million. This will enable Caltex to maintain an appropriate 
reserve to effect Board and Committee succession in an orderly manner.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUED2. Oversight and external advice
2a. Board and Human Resources Committee
The Board takes an active role in the governance and oversight of Caltex’s remuneration policies and practices. Approval of certain 
key human resources and remuneration matters is reserved to the Board, including setting remuneration for directors and Senior 
Executives and any discretion applied in relation to the targets or funding pool for Caltex’s incentive plans.

The Human Resources Committee assists the Board by providing advice and recommendations in relation to Caltex’s remuneration 
framework and seeks to put in place appropriate remuneration arrangements and practices that are clear and understandable, 
in the best interests of Caltex and support superior performance and long term growth in shareholder value.

The Human Resources Committee has also been delegated specific functions by the Board, including approving Caltex’s annual 
remuneration program and aspects of its incentive plans.

Further information about the role of the Board and the Human Resources Committee is set out in their charters, which are 
available on the company’s website (www.caltex.com.au).

2b. External advice
The Human Resources Committee is independent of management and is authorised by the Board to obtain external professional 
advice as necessary. The use of external specialists to provide advice and recommendations specifically in relation to the 
remuneration of Non-executive Directors, the MD & CEO and Senior Executives is either initiated directly, or approved by, 
the Human Resources Committee, and these specialists are directly engaged by the Human Resources Committee Chairman.

During 2015, Caltex received “remuneration recommendations” (as defined in the Corporations Act) from Aon Hewitt in relation 
to Non-executive Director fees and the remuneration for the MD & CEO and other Senior Executives.

Aon Hewitt has provided a formal declaration confirming that the recommendations provided were free from “undue influence” 
by the members of the KMP to whom the recommendations were related, and the Board is satisfied that the recommendations 
were made free from any undue influence. None of the KMP were involved in the selection and appointment of Aon Hewitt 
or in the development of any advice or recommendations in relation to their own roles.

The fee paid to Aon Hewitt for the above remuneration advice and recommendations was $31,800 excluding GST. Aon Hewitt 
also provided additional services (Finance and HR related) to Caltex over 2015. The fee for these additional services was $110,981 
excluding GST.

3. Senior Executive remuneration
3a. Remuneration philosophy and structure
The overarching goal of the Caltex remuneration philosophy and structure is to support the delivery of top quartile shareholder 
returns. The guiding philosophy for how Caltex rewards Senior Executives and all other employees is outlined below:

GUIDING 
PHILOSOPHY

Alignment with 
shareholders’  
interests

COMMENTARY

The payment of variable incentives is dependent upon achieving financial and non-financial performance 
measures that are aligned with shareholders’ interests. Share retention arrangements require all executives 
to build up and maintain shareholdings to encourage further alignment with Caltex shareholders.

Performance focused 
and differentiated

The company’s reward and performance planning and review systems are closely integrated to maintain 
a strong emphasis and accountability for performance at the company, department and individual levels. 
Rewards are differentiated to incentivise and reward superior performance.

Market competitive

All elements of remuneration are set at competitive levels for comparable roles in Australia and allow Caltex 
to attract and retain quality candidates in the talent market.

Alignment with strategy
Both the short term and long term incentive plan are directly aligned to the company’s strategy.

Short term incentives reward the delivery of stretching but potentially attainable financial and non-financial performance measures 
aligned to the annual business plan.

Long term incentives are directly aligned to the company’s key measure of success, being to safely and reliably deliver top quartile 
shareholder returns. The company’s secondary strategic growth measures focus the Senior Executives on the most important 
initiatives that need to be executed to support top quartile shareholder returns. Further detail on these measures is outlined in 
section 3d.

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTRemuneration Report continued
3. Senior Executive remuneration continued
3a. Remuneration philosophy and structure continued
Market positioning and peer groups
In order to be able to attract and retain key talent, and drive strong performance, the company’s remuneration philosophy is to 
position fixed remuneration at the median of a customised peer group of companies, with total remuneration able to reach the 
upper quartile for outstanding performance. For 2016, the customised peer group consisted of 19 companies that are broadly of 
comparable size and complexity and who the Board considers to be leading competitors for capital and people.

The Board recognises that external stakeholders often assess pay reasonableness against a pure market capitalisation peer group. 
Due to this, in making pay decisions, the Board also considers pay positioning against a secondary peer group. This secondary peer 
group consists of 20 companies (10 with a market capitalisation directly above, and 10 with a market capitalisation directly below, 
that of Caltex). Externally managed trusts and overseas domiciled companies are excluded.

Remuneration structure
Our Senior Executive remuneration structure consists of:
1.  Fixed remuneration – this comprises base salary, non-monetary benefits and superannuation. Superannuation is generally 

payable at a rate of 9.5% of base salary plus any cash incentive payments. Where an employee’s superannuation contributions 
are above the superannuation contributions limit, the employee may elect to receive the excess amount as cash in lieu 
of superannuation.

2.  Variable remuneration – this comprises a mix of cash and equity based incentives awarded upon the achievement of financial 

and non-financial performance measures.

The remuneration structure (including the remuneration mix) is reviewed annually by the Board.

3b. Remuneration mix
The “at target” remuneration mix for Senior Executives is outlined below.

The remuneration mix is skewed towards variable pay to better align executive pay and performance, and within the variable 
pay components, the mix is skewed towards the long term incentive. Research undertaken by Caltex, and confirmed by external 
advisers, shows that Caltex has a more stretching relative TSR vesting schedule than most ASX 100 companies. See section 3d for 
further information on the relative TSR vesting schedule.

Ritchie and Mr Rosengarten. Mr Lim and Mr Willshire have a STI target of 46% of base salary.

(ii)  LTI Equity comprises performance rights granted under the Caltex Equity Incentive Plan (CEIP). It assumes that the relative TSR measure is achieved at the 

75th percentile and the strategic growth measure is achieved at target. Grants of performance rights under the CEIP are made at the maximum stretch level 
of 150% of base salary for the MD & CEO and 90% of base salary for other Senior Executives. The proportion of the grant that vests is based on meeting 
service and performance conditions.

onwards, this requirement only applies if the Senior Executive does not hold at least 100% of their base salary in Caltex shares.

3c. Performance based “at risk” remuneration – 2015 STI Plan

Plan

STI awards are made under the Rewarding Results Plan.

Plan rationale

The Plan rewards a combination of financial and non-financial performance measures that are aligned 
to the creation of shareholder value. Primary emphasis is placed on RCOP NPAT, and the non-financial 
measures focus our executives and employees on executing the most critical objectives aligned to the 
annual business plan.

Performance period The performance period is for 12 months ending 31 December 2015.

2015 target and 
maximum stretch 
opportunity levels

MD & CEO – the target STI opportunity is 50% of base salary and the maximum stretch STI opportunity 
is 100% of base salary.

Other Senior Executives – the target STI opportunity is between 46% and 50% of base salary and the 
maximum stretch STI opportunity is between 92% and 100% of base salary depending upon role.

Financial gateway

RCOP NPAT performance, including the cost of incentives, needs to be at least at 80% of target before any 
short term incentives are payable.

Use of discretion

The Human Resources Committee, in its advisory role, reviews proposed adjustments to Rewarding Results 
outcomes where there are exceptional unforeseen and uncontrollable impacts on the agreed performance 
measures and makes recommendations for any changes to performance measures, which may only be 
approved by the Board.

During 2015, discretion was exercised by the Board to exclude the impact of the profit on the sale of the 
Fremantle terminal as a significant item from the RCOP NPAT result. This was determined by the Board to be 
outside of the control of employees and not considered part of normal trading operations.

Payment vehicle

STI awards are delivered in cash. STI deferral was removed for STI awards made to Senior Executives from 
payments made in 2016 onwards because the long term incentive share retention arrangements came into 
place at this time. See section 3d for further detail.

Payment frequency

STI awards are paid annually. Payments are made in April following the end of the performance period.

Setting and evaluating the performance of executives in 2015
Performance measures for 2015 were derived from the business plan in line with the company direction set by the Board. The Board 
approved the 2015 business plan and has regularly monitored and reviewed progress against plan milestones and targets.

The approved Caltex business plan was then translated into department objectives. The company objectives were approved 
by the Human Resources Committee at the start of the performance year.

Within each business unit, specific performance agreements were then developed for individual employees, thus completing the 
link between employees and the delivery of the business plan. Performance agreements must be agreed between the employee 
and his or her manager. Senior Executives set their performance agreements jointly with the MD & CEO, and the MD & CEO’s 
performance objectives are approved by the Board.

Personal safety results were 
disappointing with 19 employees 
suffering injuries requiring medical 
treatment during FY15. 

Process safety results were strong with 
no Tier 1 or 2 process safety incidents 
and nine spills (> 1 bbl and marine) 
across the company. This significant 
performance improvement (from 22 in 
2014) follows targeted improvement 
programs across the business.

A record level of RCOP NPAT 
($628.4 million) was achieved in 2015.

This highly successful program 
exceeded expectations which achieved 
more than double the budgeted 
targets of revenue generation and 
costs saved.

Demonstrable improvement since last 
survey participation in 2014, indicating 
Caltex has some clear strengths and 
also some particular areas of focus.

If business objectives are achieved at threshold level, 60% of the target STI opportunity would be payable. If 100% of the target is 
achieved, 100% of the STI target opportunity would be payable. If business objectives are achieved at the maximum level, 200% 
of the STI target opportunity would be payable. Payments are pro-rated between threshold and target, and between target and 
maximum. This payout schedule deliberately incentivises over-plan performance.

At Caltex, incentives are not designed as “profit sharing arrangements” and as such performance measures may factor in externalities 
which management cannot control (such as global refining margins). There will be occasions when incentives are paid when 
externalities such as the refiner margins and exchange rate fluctuations may have reduced overall shareholder returns. Equally, 
incentives may not be paid when externalities are favourable to shareholders but the company’s relative performance is poor.

28

DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUED 
 
 
 
 
RCOP NPAT (explanation of the relevance of this measure to the Caltex business and treatment of significant items)
The Board has selected replacement cost of sales operating profit (RCOP) NPAT as the primary STI measure because RCOP NPAT 
removes the impact of inventory gains and losses, giving a truer reflection of underlying financial performance.

Gains and losses in cost of goods sold due to fluctuations in the AUD price of crude and product prices (which are impacted by 
both the USD price and the foreign exchange rate) constitute a major external influence on Caltex’s profits. RCOP NPAT restates 
profit to remove these impacts. The Caltex RCOP methodology is consistent with the methods used by other refining and 
marketing companies for restatement of their financial results.

As a general rule, an increase in crude prices on an AUD basis will create an earnings gain for Caltex (but working capital requirements 
will also increase). Conversely, a fall in crude prices on an AUD basis will create an earnings loss. This is a direct consequence of the first 
in first out (FIFO) costing process used by Caltex in adherence with accounting standards to produce the financial result on a historical 
cost basis.

With Caltex holding approximately 30 to 45 days of inventory, revenues reflect current prices in Singapore whereas FIFO costing 
reflects costs some 30 to 45 days earlier. The timing difference creates these inventory gains and losses.

To remove the impact of this factor on earnings and to better reflect the underlying performance of the business, the RCOP NPAT 
methodology calculates the cost of goods sold on the basis of theoretical new purchases instead of actual costs from inventory. 
The cost of these theoretical new purchases is calculated as the average monthly cost of cargoes received during the month 
of those sales.

Each year the Board reviews any significant items, positive and negative, and considers their relevance to the RCOP NPAT result. 
Generally, the Board will exclude any exceptional events from RCOP NPAT that management and the Board consider to be outside 
the scope of usual business. These are excluded to give a clearer reflection of underlying financial performance from one period to 
the next.

3d. Performance based “at risk” remuneration – 2015 LTI plan

Plan

Plan rationale

LTI instrument

Allocation  
methodology

LTI awards are granted under the CEIP.

The Plan aligns executive rewards with the shareholder experience. This is done through the use of 
relative TSR as the primary performance measure, and through the use of strategic growth measures 
which contribute towards the delivery of top quartile shareholder returns as the secondary measure.

The Plan has also been designed to act as a retention mechanism and to encourage Senior Executives 
to build and retain Caltex shares over the long term.

Performance rights are granted by the company for nil consideration. Each performance right is a 
right to receive a fully-paid ordinary share at no cost if service based and performance based vesting 
conditions are achieved. Performance rights do not carry voting or dividend rights.

For all awards from 2013, the Board may determine to pay executives the cash value of a share in 
satisfaction of a vested performance right, instead of providing a share or restricted share. It is expected 
such discretion will only be exercised in limited cases, typically where the executive is a ”good leaver” 
from Caltex, i.e. where the employee ceases employment due to redundancy or retirement.

The number of performance rights granted is determined by dividing the maximum opportunity level 
by the five day volume weighted average share price up to the first day of the performance period, 
discounted by the value of the annual dividend to which the performance rights are not entitled. 
No discount is applied for the probability of achieving the performance measures.

Performance period

The performance period is three years commencing on 1 January in the year the awards are made. 
For the 2015 awards, this is the three year period from 1 January 2015 – 31 December 2017.

2015 target and 
maximum stretch 
opportunity levels

The MD & CEO received a grant of performance rights based on a maximum stretch LTI value of 150% 
of base salary. The target LTI value is 100% of base salary.

Other Senior Executive grants were based on a maximum stretch LTI value of 90% of base salary. 
The target LTI value is 60% of base salary.

Performance 
measures

For 2015, the LTI performance measures were relative TSR (weighted at 75%) and a strategic growth 
measure (weighted at 25%).

Relative TSR
Relative TSR is assessed against a comparator group of S&P/ASX 100 companies. The vesting schedule is:

Performance scale

Below Threshold 

Vesting %

Zero

Threshold: 50th percentile 

33.3% of the rights will vest

Between Threshold and Target

Target: 75th percentile 

66.6% of the rights will vest

Between Target and Stretch

Pro-rata vesting occurs between these relative performance levels

Stretch: 90th percentile 

100% of the rights will vest

Strategic growth measure
In 2015, the strategic growth measure is a three year earnings growth measure from mergers and 
acquisitions (core and non-core) and step-out ventures (new products/services/geographies). This measure 
was chosen as it reflects the importance of growth in achieving our key success measure of top quartile 
shareholder returns.

Disclosure of performance outcomes
In the 2017 Remuneration Report, the Board will set out how Caltex performed against these measures. 
See section 3h for the Board’s rationale for the performance outcomes of the LTI awards that were granted 
in 2013 and that vest in April 2016.

Shares to satisfy vested performance rights are purchased on market at the time of vesting if the vesting 
conditions are met and the performance rights vest.

Shares allocated upon vesting of performance rights will carry the same rights as other ordinary shares 
(including dividends and voting rights). 

Shares acquired 
upon vesting of the 
performance rights

Share retention 
arrangements

The share retention arrangements are designed to encourage all executives to build up and maintain 
more sizeable shareholdings in Caltex for a longer period of time and further align the interests of Caltex 
executives and shareholders.

Under the share retention arrangements, 25% of the vested portion of performance rights will be converted 
into restricted shares. These shares are unable to be sold for a further period of four years (until 1 April 2022 
for the 2015 LTI awards). This effectively extends the life of the LTI plan from three years to seven years.

Based on this policy, if it is assumed that the LTI awards vest at target levels over a period of four years, the 
MD & CEO and Senior Executives would have theoretical shareholdings of 100% and 60% of their base 
salary respectively.

On ceasing employment, all dealing restrictions on the restricted shares cease to apply, subject to the 
application of the Clawback Policy.

Clawback Policy

See section 3e for information on the Caltex Clawback Policy.

Termination 
provisions

If a participant ceases to be an employee due to resignation, all unvested equity awards held by the 
participant will lapse, except in exceptional circumstances as approved by the Board.

The Board has the discretion to determine the extent to which equity awards granted to a participant under 
the LTI plan vest on a pro-rated basis where the participant ceases to be an employee of a Group company 
for reasons including retirement, death, total and permanent disablement, and bona fide redundancy. In 
these cases, the Board’s usual practice is to pro-rate the award to reflect the portion of the period from the 
date of grant to the date the participant ceased to be employed. In addition, the portion of the award that 
ultimately vests is determined by testing against the relevant performance measures at the usual time. 

Change of  
control provisions

Any unvested performance rights may vest at the Board’s discretion, having regard to pro-rated 
performance.

30

DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUEDLegacy LTI awards
The 2013 and 2014 LTI awards will vest in April 2016 and April 2017 respectively. The operation of these awards is consistent with 
the 2015 awards, except for the weighting and nature of the performance measures. The performance measures for the 2013 and 
2014 awards were relative TSR (weighted at 60%), free cash flow (weighted at 20%) and strategic measures (weighted at 20%).

Performance measure

Commentary

Relative TSR

The operation of the relative TSR measure is the same as that outlined above under the 2015 awards.

Free cash flow (FCF)

FCF measures performance against the cumulative FCF threshold, target and stretch levels set by the Board 
for the three year periods ending 31 December 2015 (2013 award) and 31 December 2016 (2014 award), 
based on the respective three year business plan. The targets are achievable only if growth expectations in 
Marketing are achieved, a competitive supply chain is maintained, and key strategic projects are delivered.

FCF performance is measured before dividends and growth investment capital to ensure management is not 
discouraged from considering growth opportunities. The Board may modify the performance outcome to 
take into account material changes to the external environment and potentially those controllable items that 
may change to reflect appropriate Board decisions over the three year period.

See section 3h for Caltex’s performance against the cumulative FCF target applicable for the 2013 awards. 
The Board will set out Caltex’s performance against the cumulative FCF target applicable for the 2014 
awards in the 2016 Remuneration Report, including how, if at all, the Board has modified the performance 
outcome noted above.

Strategic measures – 
2013 award

The 2013 strategic measure is based on performance against the Board approved project cost and schedule 
milestones for the Kurnell conversion project. The cost schedules and milestones are those that were to be 
delivered before 31 December 2015 and which were approved by the Board during 2013.

Half of the Board’s assessment (10% weighting) was based on the delivery of the Kurnell conversion 
project to budget. The remaining half (10% weighting) was based on the Board’s qualitative assessment 
of performance during the three year period against a range of parameters including delivery of project 
milestones to time, safety and environment performance, and continuity of supply to customers.

See section 3h for the Board’s rationale on the vesting percentage that applied for the 2013 LTI awards.

Strategic measures – 
2014 award

The 2014 strategic measure is based on the Board’s qualitative assessment of the outcomes achieved 
through key strategic projects, each designed to support top quartile shareholder returns, through 
the transformation of the company into a competitively efficient organisation with innovation and 
growth capabilities.

The expected outcomes of the projects will be:
•  a competitively efficient organisation
•  the development and demonstration of end to end value chain optimisation capability
•  the development and demonstration of competitive supply capability
•  the development and demonstration of innovation and growth capabilities.

In the 2016 Remuneration Report, the Board will set out how Caltex performed against these measures, 
including the Board’s rationale for the relevant vesting percentage. 

3e. Clawback Policy
Caltex has a Clawback Policy which allows the company to recoup incentives which may have been awarded and/or vested 
to Senior Executives in certain circumstances. The specific triggers which allow Caltex to recoup the incentives include Senior 
Executives acting fraudulently or dishonestly, acting in a manner which has brought a Group company into disrepute; where there 
has been a material misstatement or omission in the financial statements in relation to a Group company in any of the previous 
three financial years; or any other circumstances occur which the Board determines in good faith to have resulted in an “unfair 
benefit” to the Senior Executive.

Upon the occurrence of any of the triggers, the Board may then take such actions it deems necessary or appropriate to address the 
events that gave rise to an “unfair benefit”. Such actions may include:
1.  requiring the Senior Executive to repay some or all of any cash or equity incentive remuneration paid in any of the previous three 

financial years

2.  requiring the Senior Executive to repay any gains realised in any of the previous three financial years through the CEIP or on the 

open-market sale of vested shares

3.  cancelling or requiring the forfeiture of some or all of the Senior Executive’s unvested performance rights, restricted shares or shares
4.  reissuing any number of performance rights or restricted shares to the participant subject to new vesting conditions in place of 

the forfeited performance rights, restricted shares or shares

5.  adjusting the Senior Executive’s future incentive remuneration, and/or
6.  initiating legal action against the Senior Executive.

3f. Hedging and margin lending policies
The Caltex Securities Trading Policy prohibits Senior Executives from hedging an exposure to unvested or vested Caltex 
securities held through any of our incentive plans. The policy also requires directors and Senior Executives to give prior notice 
to the Company Secretary of any proposed margin loan arrangements. If a demand for payment is made under a margin loan 
arrangement, the director or Senior Executive must immediately advise the Company Secretary.

The Securities Trading Policy is a core corporate governance policy and Caltex has implemented appropriate measures to ensure 
compliance. Each year, directors, Senior Executives and certain other personnel are required to provide a certificate to the Company 
Secretary confirming their compliance with the Securities Trading Policy. Any breach of the Securities Trading Policy must be 
immediately advised to the Company Secretary, who will report the breach to the Board. A breach of the Securities Trading Policy 
may lead to disciplinary action, which may include termination of employment in serious cases.

3g. Senior Executive remuneration and service agreements
MD & CEO
The MD & CEO’s remuneration is determined by the Board, upon the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee. In 
making its 2015 remuneration recommendation, the Human Resources Committee considered the performance of the MD & CEO 
and advice provided by Godfrey Remuneration Group (GRG), which took into account remuneration levels provided by companies 
of a similar size and complexity.

The split between the MD & CEO’s 2015 total target and maximum stretch remuneration is outlined below.

(ii)  Share retention arrangements have been implemented to encourage share retention and promote alignment with shareholders over the longer term. 
For the 2013, 2014 and 2015 LTI awards, all Senior Executives are required to hold 25% of the shares awarded when the performance rights vest for 
an additional four years. For 2016 LTI awards, this requirement will only apply if the Senior Executive does not hold at least 100% of their base salary 
in Caltex shares in the month prior to the vesting date.

The other Senior Executives of Caltex are appointed as permanent Caltex employees. Their employment contracts require both 
Caltex and the executive to give a notice period within a range between three and six months as stipulated by their individual 
contracts should they resign or have their service terminated by Caltex. The terms and conditions of the executive contracts reflect 
market conditions at the time of the contract negotiation and appointment.

The details of the contracts of the current Senior Executives of Caltex are set out below. The durations of the contracts are open 
ended (i.e. ongoing until notice is given by either party).

If a Senior Executive was to resign, their entitlement to unvested shares payable through the LTI would generally be forfeited and, 
if resignation was on or before 31 December of the year, generally their payment from the Rewarding Results Plan would also be 
forfeited, subject to the discretion of the Board. If a Senior Executive is made redundant, their redundancy payment is determined 
by the Caltex Redundancy Policy, with the payment calculated based on years of service and the applicable notice period.

Other than prescribed notice periods, there is no special termination benefit payable under the contracts of employment. Statutory 
benefits (such as long service leave) are paid in accordance with the legislative requirements at the time the Senior Executive 
ceases employment.

Executive General Manager, Commercial
Mr Bruce Rosengarten was appointed on 1 November 2013. Mr Rosengarten’s contract included relocation support to assist him to 
relocate from Melbourne, where he was previously employed. If Mr Rosengarten’s employment ceases due to resignation, serious 
and wilful misconduct or negligent behaviour within 36 months of commencement, a pro-rated portion of relocation assistance 
must be repaid.

Mr Rosengarten also received a payment to compensate him for forgone STI and an award of restricted shares to compensate him 
for forgone unvested LTI at his prior employer. 50% of the restricted share grant vested on Mr Rosengarten’s second anniversary 
of commencement in November 2015, and the remaining 50% will vest on his third anniversary. The second tranche will lapse 
if Mr Rosengarten’s employment ceases due to resignation, serious and wilful misconduct, negligent behaviour or unsatisfactory 
performance prior to his third anniversary. The award of restricted shares is outlined in table 6.

Executive General Manager, Supply
Mr Adam Ritchie was appointed on 1 April 2015. Mr Ritchie’s contract included relocation and accommodation support to assist 
him to relocate from the United States, where he was previously employed. If Mr Ritchie’s employment ceases due to resignation, 
serious and wilful misconduct or negligent behaviour within 12 months of commencement, the entire cost of relocation assistance 
must be repaid, with a pro-rated portion repayable if employment ceases for these reasons between 12 and 24 months.

Mr Ritchie also received an award of restricted shares to compensate him for forgone unvested LTI at his prior employer. 
33.33% of the restricted share grant will vest on each of Mr Ritchie’s first, second and third anniversary of his commencement 
date. Each unvested tranche will lapse if Mr Ritchie’s employment ceases due to resignation, serious and wilful misconduct or 
negligent behaviour prior to each respective vesting date.

The award of restricted shares is outlined in table 6.

(i)  TSR is calculated as the change in share price for the year, plus dividends announced for the year, divided by the opening share price. TSR is a measure of 

the return to shareholders in respect of each financial year.

(ii)  The price quoted is the trading price for the last day of trading (31 December) in each calendar year.
(iii)  Measured using the RCOP method which excludes the impact of the rise or fall in oil and product prices (a key external factor) and excludes significant 

items as determined by the Board.

(iv)  TTIFR – Total Treatable Injury Frequency Rate.

Relative TSR (60%)

The chart below provides a comparison of Caltex’s three year TSR performance compared to S&P/ASX 100 companies over the 
period from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2015. This reflects the final status of the 2013 LTI grant that is subject to the relative 
TSR performance measure. Caltex’s TSR over this period was 200%, placing it at the 82nd percentile. This will lead to 81.17% of 
the performance rights subject to the relative TSR performance measure vesting on 1 April 2016.

Free cash flow (20%)
The level of vesting against the FCF measure was determined by aggregating Caltex’s actual FCF performance over the three year 
performance period and comparing this to the aggregate of the three year stretch targets determined in early 2013 prior to the 
grant of this award.

While actual FCF performance over the 2013-15 period was strong, the vesting level was between threshold and target with 63.2% 
of the performance rights vesting on 1 April 2016. No adjustments were made by the Board to the FCF figures when determining 
the level of vesting against the FCF performance measure.

assessment of performance 
against a range of parameters 
including delivery of project 
milestones to time, safety and 
environmental performance, 
and continuity of supply to 
customers (10%)

100%

•  The conversion of the Kurnell site from a refinery to Caltex’s largest import 

terminal has been an outstanding success.

•  All of the major components of the project – reliable refinery operation 
to closure; conversion capital works; establishment of Ampol Singapore; 
developing the Kurnell terminal team; refinery decommissioning and 
demolition – have all been completed on or under budget and on or ahead 
of an aggressive schedule or plan.

•  Kurnell site safety and environmental performance was excellent, with 

personal safety performance at this challenging time being amongst the best 
in the site’s history.

•  Critically, reliable supply to our customers was maintained, underpinned by 
the seamless transition of the site to import operation in October 2014.
•  Feedback from investors indicates that the strong Caltex share price growth 
over the last three years has been partially driven by the scale and impact of 
the transition from refinery to terminal.

•  The successful delivery of this project is a clear example of the successful 
strategic realignment that Caltex has executed over the last several years.

Table 4a. Total remuneration earned by Senior Executives in 2015 (unaudited, non-statutory disclosures)
The following table sets out the actual remuneration earned by Senior Executives in 2015. The value of remuneration includes the 
equity grants where the Senior Executive received control of the shares in 2015.

The purpose of this table is to provide a summary of the “past” and “present” remuneration outcomes received in either 
cash or equity. Due to this, the values in this table will not reconcile with those provided in the statutory disclosures in 
table 4b. For example, table 4b discloses the value of LTI grants which may or may not vest in future years, whereas this table 
discloses the value of LTI grants from previous years which vested in 2015.

Notes:
(i)  Salary and fees comprises base salary and cash payments in lieu of employer superannuation (on 2015 base salary and/or on STI payments made in respect 

of the 2014 performance year paid in 2015).

(ii)  These Senior Executives elect to receive an equivalent cash payment in lieu of employer superannuation that is in excess of the quarterly Superannuation 

Guarantee Maximum.

(iii)  Other remuneration includes the cash value of non-monetary benefits, superannuation, annual leave and long service leave entitlements, and any fringe 

benefits tax payable on non-monetary benefits. For Mr Ritchie, it also includes the value of relocation (including rental and tax) assistance associated with 
his relocation from the United States. For Mr Brewer, it also includes a $294,680 cash based retention payment linked to the Kurnell closure and conversion 
project. This retention plan was introduced in 2011 prior to the time when Mr Brewer was a KMP.

(iv)  This refers to the deferred unrestricted component of the 2014 STI that vested in October 2015, but is still subject to clawback and a mandatory two year 

dealing restriction from grant date.

(v)  This refers to equity based plans from prior years that vested in the current year. The value is calculated using the closing share price of company shares on 
the vesting date. The 2015 figures reflect the strong performance in respect of the LTI that was granted in 2012 and that operated over the performance 
period from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2014. Over this period, Caltex’s TSR was 256% and the Caltex share price increased from $11.20 to $34.21. 
At the time of vesting, the Caltex share price had further increased to $34.95. For Mr Rosengarten this refers to the value of the first tranche of restricted 
shares that were granted to him in 2013 and vested in November 2015.

(vi)  This refers to the total value of remuneration earned during 2015, being the sum of the prior columns.

(i)  Salary and fees include base salary and cash payments in lieu of employer superannuation. For 2015, the cash payments in lieu of employer superannuation 

are on 2015 base salary and/or on STI payments made in respect of the 2014 performance year paid in 2015.

(ii)  These Senior Executives elect to receive an equivalent cash payment in lieu of employer superannuation that is in excess of the quarterly Superannuation 

Guarantee Maximum.

(iii)  The non-monetary benefits received by Senior Executives include car parking benefits, employee StarCard benefits, the payment of the default premiums for 
death and total and permanent disability insurance cover and related fringe benefits tax payments made by Caltex. For Mr Ritchie it also includes the value 
of relocation (including rental and tax) assistance associated with his relocation from the United States.

(iv)  Other long term remuneration represents the long service leave for all Senior Executives.
(v)  Share benefits includes both the deferred unrestricted component of the 2014 STI that vested in October 2015, but where the shares are still subject 
to clawback and a mandatory two year dealing restriction from grant date. It also includes the 2015 portion of the amortised value calculated under 
Accounting Standards of the restricted shares granted to Mr Rosengarten in 2013, and the restricted shares granted to Mr Ritchie in 2015.

(vi)  These values have been calculated under accounting standards. The values may not represent the future value that the Senior Executive will receive, as the 

vesting of the performance rights is subject to Caltex achieving pre-defined performance measures.

employer (refer to section 3g for further detail). One third of this award will vest in April 2016, one third in April 2017 and the final third in April 2018 
provided Mr Ritchie meets the service conditions.

(ii)  For Mr Rosengarten the unvested shares as at 31 December 2015 represent the unvested portion of the restricted shares awarded to Mr Rosengarten 

on commencement with Caltex in lieu of the LTI forgone with his previous employer (refer to section 3g for further detail). 50% of this award vested in 
November 2015, and the remaining 50% of the award will vest in November 2016 provided Mr Rosengarten meets the service conditions.

(iii)  Restricted shares vested represents the 2014 STI deferred into equity, in the form of restricted shares (33.3%). The shares were purchased in 2015 and 

vested in October 2015 on meeting the six month service related forfeiture condition. The shares are subject to a further two year dealing restriction from 
the date of grant.

Table 6. Restricted share grants to Senior Executives – other awards
The following table provides an estimate of the future cost to Caltex of unvested restricted shares based on the progressive vesting 
of the restricted shares, where the shares were not awarded under the STI Deferral plan. One new award of restricted shares was 
made during 2015 to the Executive General Manager, Supply on commencement of employment in lieu of the unvested LTI 
which lapsed upon his resignation with his prior employer. One award was made previously to the Executive General Manager, 
Commercial in 2013 for the same reason. The estimated future cost of the unvested shares has been supplied below.

Table 8. Valuation assumptions of performance rights granted
The fair value of performance rights granted under the CEIP is determined independently by Ernst & Young using an appropriate 
numerical pricing model. The model takes into account a range of assumptions and the fair values for each year of grant have been 
calculated incorporating the assumptions below.

Valuation per right

Note:
Market performance measures, such as relative TSR, must be incorporated into the option-pricing model valuation used for the CEIP performance rights, which 
is reflected in the valuation per performance right. Non-market vesting conditions such as free cash flow and strategic measures are not taken into account 
when determining the value of the performance right. This explains the higher valuation for these performance rights. However, the value of the free cash 
flow and strategic measures may be discounted during the performance period to reflect the Board’s assessment of the probability of the number of equity 
instruments that will vest based on progress against the performance measures. These values will be reflected in table 4b.

4. Non-executive Director fees
4a. Our approach to Non-executive Director fees
Caltex’s business and corporate operations are managed under the direction of the Board on behalf of shareholders. The Board 
oversees the performance of Caltex management in seeking to deliver superior business and operational performance and long 
term growth in shareholder value. The Board recognises that providing strong leadership and strategic guidance to management 
is important to achieve our goals and objectives.

Under the Caltex Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, the total annual fee pool for Non-executive Directors is determined by 
shareholders. Within this aggregate amount, Non-executive Director fees are reviewed by the Human Resources Committee, taking 
into account recommendations from an independent remuneration consultant, and set by the Board.

Fees for Non-executive Directors are set at a level to attract and retain directors with the necessary skills and experience to allow 
the Board to have a proper understanding of, and competence to deal with, current and emerging issues for Caltex’s business. 
The Board seeks to attract directors with different skills, experience and abilities to enable it to effectively oversee and challenge the 
performance of management. Additionally, when setting Non-executive Director fees, the Board takes into account factors such 
as external market data on fees and the size and complexity of Caltex’s operations.

The Non-executive Directors’ fees are fixed and the Non-executive Directors do not participate in any Caltex incentive plan. 
Caltex does not have a retirement plan for Non-executive Directors.

Shares and interests
The total number of ordinary shares on issue at the date of this 
report and during 2015 is 270 million shares (2014: 270 million 
shares). The total number of performance rights on issue at the 
date of this report is 1,482,001 (2014: 2,018,111). 434,972 
performance rights were issued during 2015 (2014: 676,620). 
971,082 performance rights were distributed or lapsed during 
the year (2014: 1,096,156). On vesting, Caltex is required to

Non-audit services
KPMG is the external auditor of Caltex Australia Limited and 
the Caltex Australia Group.

In 2015, KPMG performed non-audit services for the Caltex 
Australia Group in addition to its statutory audit and review 
engagements for the full year and half year.

KPMG received or was due to receive the following amounts 
for services performed for the Caltex Australia Group during the 
year ended 31 December 2015:
•  for non-audit services – total fees of $299,000 

(2014: $78,500); these services included taxation services 
($103,400) and other assurance services ($195,600), and

•  for audit services – total fees of $1,000,500 (2014: 

$995,900).

The Board has received a written advice from the Audit 
Committee in relation to the independence of KPMG, as 
external auditor, for 2015. The advice was made in accordance 
with a resolution of the Audit Committee.

The directors are satisfied that:
•  the provision of non-audit services to the Caltex Australia 

Group during the year ended 31 December 2015 by KPMG 
is compatible with the general standard of independence for 
auditors imposed by the Corporations Act, and

•  the provision of non-audit services during the year ended 
31 December 2015 by KPMG did not compromise the 
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
for the following reasons:
 – the provision of non-audit services in 2015 was consistent 
with the Board’s policy on the provision of services by the 
external auditor

 – the non-audit services provided in 2015 are not 

considered to be in conflict with the role of external 
auditor, and

 – the directors are not aware of any matter relating to the 
provision of the non-audit services in 2015 that would 
impair the impartial and objective judgement of KPMG 
as external auditor.

Deeds of indemnity and insurance
During the year ended 31 December 2015, Caltex entered into

and secretaries.

Under the deeds, Caltex has agreed, in broad terms, to 
indemnify its directors and company secretaries (to the extent 
permitted by law and subject to the prohibitions in section 
199A of the Corporations Act and the terms of the deed) against 
any and all:
•  liabilities incurred as an officer of Caltex or a Caltex Group 

company (but not including liabilities for legal costs covered 
by the legal costs indemnity), and

•  legal costs reasonably incurred in defending an action for a 
liability incurred or allegedly incurred as an officer of Caltex

company) is required to maintain and pay the premium on an 
insurance policy covering each director and company secretary 
(to the extent permitted by law and subject to the prohibitions 
in sections 199B and 199C of the Corporations Act). In each 
case, the obligation continues for a period of seven years after 
the director or secretary (as the case may be) ceases to be an 
officer or, if a proceeding or an inquiry has commenced or 
arises within this seven year period and this has been notified 
to the company, a further period up to the outcome of the 
proceedings or inquiry or when the company is satisfied that 
the proceedings or inquiry will not proceed.

Contract of insurance
Caltex has paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the 
directors and officers of Caltex against liabilities.

Details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount 
of the premium paid in respect of the directors’ and officers’ 
liability insurance has not been disclosed as such disclosure is 
prohibited under the terms of the contract.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF CALTEX AUSTRALIA LIMITED

Report on the financial report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Caltex Australia Limited (the Company), which comprises the consolidated 
balance sheet as at 31 December 2015, and consolidated income statement, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, 
consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated cash flows statement for the year ended on that date, notes A to 
G comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the 
Group comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors 
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to 
fraud or error. In note A, the directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of 
Financial Statements, that the financial statements of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian 
Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements 
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. 
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement 
of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control 
relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that 
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal 
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 
estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the 
Company’s and the Group’s financial position and of their performance.

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

Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Auditor’s opinion
In our opinion:
(a)  the financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

(i) 

 giving a true and fair view of the Company’s and the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of their 
performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)   complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

(b)  the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in note A.

Report on the remuneration report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 21 to 45 of the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 
2015. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance 
with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on 
our audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards.

Auditor’s opinion
In our opinion, the remuneration report of Caltex Australia Limited for the year ended 31 December 2015, complies with 
Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

The company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 
dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order, 
amounts in the consolidated financial report and Directors’ 
Report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, 
unless otherwise stated.

The Caltex Group has adopted all the mandatory amended 
Accounting Standards issued that are relevant to its operations 
and effective for the current reporting period.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and 
interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 
1 January 2016, and have not been applied in preparing these 
consolidated financial statements. Refer to note G8.

The preparation of a consolidated financial report in conformity 
with AASBs requires management to make judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of 
policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income 
and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are 
based on historical experience and various other factors that 
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the 
results of which form the basis of making the judgements 
about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not 
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ 
from these estimates. These accounting policies have been 
consistently applied by each entity in the Caltex Group.

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

Judgements made by management in the application of AASBs 
that have a significant effect on the consolidated financial report 
and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in 
the future financial years are found in the following notes:

•  information about the assumptions and the risk factors 

relating to impairment is described in notes C1 (receivables), 
C3 (intangibles) and C4 (property, plant and equipment)
•  note D2 provides an explanation of the foreign exchange, 
interest rate and commodity price exposures of the Group 
and the risk in relation to foreign exchange, interest rate and 
commodity price movements, and

•  note C6 provides key sources of estimation, uncertainty and 

assumptions used in regard to estimation of provisions.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
B  RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015

This section highlights the performance of the Group for the year, including revenue and other income, costs and expenses, results 
by operating segment, earnings per share and dividends.

B1 Revenue and other income
Revenue
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of activities is measured at the fair value of consideration received or 
receivable, net of rebates, discounts and allowances.

Gross sales revenue excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as goods and services tax (GST). Sales revenue is 
recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, which is the date products 
are delivered to the customer.

Other revenue
Rental income from leased sites is recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the 
lease. Franchise fee income is recognised in accordance with the substance of the agreement. Royalties are recognised as they 
accrue in accordance with the substance of the agreement.

Dividend income is recognised at the date the right to receive payment is established.

Other income
Net profit on disposal of property, plant and equipment
The profit on disposal of property, plant and equipment is brought to account at the date a contract of sale is settled, because it 
is at this time that:
•  the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the sale can be measured reliably, and
•  the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the property, plant and equipment have been transferred to the buyer.

Assets that are held for sale are carried at the lower of the net book value and fair value less cost to sell.

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTB2 Costs and expenses
Finance costs are recognised as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets which take more than 
12 months to get ready for their intended use or sale. In these circumstances, finance costs are capitalised to the cost of the assets. 
Where borrowings are not specific to an asset, finance costs are capitalised using an average rate based on the general borrowings 
of the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSB RESULTS FOR THE YEARFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 
 
 
B3 Segment reporting
B3.1 Segment disclosures
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur 
expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. All operating 
segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources 
to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the chief operating decision maker include items directly attributable to a segment as well 
as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

The Group’s business model has changed following the closure of the Kurnell refinery in October 2014 and the establishment of 
Ampol Singapore to source crude and refined products. The information provided to the Group’s chief operating decision maker 
has been adjusted to align with the new business model. The Group determines and presents operating segments based on the 
information provided to the Group’s chief operating decision maker and these are summarised below. Comparative information 
has been restated.

Inter-entity sales are recognised based on an internally set transfer price. Sales between segments are based on arm’s length 
principles appropriate to reflect prevailing market pricing structures at that time. Where possible, relevant import parity pricing is 
used to determine arm’s length pricing between the two segments. Revenue from external parties reported to the chief operating 
decision maker is measured in a manner consistent with that in the consolidated income statement. For the purposes of reporting 
to the chief operating decision maker, non-fuel income is included on a net basis and is not presented in gross revenue.

Income taxes and net financial costs are dealt with at a Group level and not within the reportable segments.

The performance of each reportable segment is measured based on segment replacement cost of sales operating profit before 
interest and income tax excluding significant items. This measurement base excludes the impact of the rise or fall in oil or product 
prices (key external factors) and presents a clearer picture of the reportable segments’ underlying business performance. Segment 
replacement cost of sales operating profit before interest and income tax excluding significant items is measured as management 
believes that such information is most useful in evaluating the performance of the differing internal business units relative to each 
other, and other like business units in the industry. Segment replacement cost operating profit excluding significant items, interest 
and income tax is also used to assess the performance of each business unit against internal performance measures.

Cost of goods sold measured on a replacement cost basis
Cost of goods sold measured on a replacement cost basis excludes the effect of inventory gains and losses, including the impact 
of exchange rate movements. Inventory gains or losses arise due to movements in the landed price of crude oil and product prices, 
and represent the difference between the actual historic cost of sales and the current replacement value of that inventory.

The net inventory gain or loss is adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual revenue lags.

Types of products and services
The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments:

Supply and Marketing
The Supply and Marketing function is an integrated transport fuel supply chain which sources refined products on the international 
market and sells Caltex fuels, lubricants, specialty products and convenience store goods through a national network of Caltex, 
Caltex Woolworths and Ampol branded service stations, as well as through company owned and non-equity resellers and direct 
sales to corporate customers. The Group’s broad distribution capabilities encompass pipelines, terminals, depots and both an 
owned and contracted transportation fleet.

Lytton
Lytton refinery in Brisbane refines crude oil into petrol, diesel, jet fuel and many specialty products such as liquid petroleum gas.

The calculation of historical cost basic earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2015 was based on the net profit 
attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent entity of $521,507,000 (2014: $19,931,000) and a weighted average number 
of ordinary shares outstanding during the year ended 31 December 2015 of 270 million shares (2014: 270 million shares).

The calculation of RCOP excluding significant items basic earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2015 was based 
on the net RCOP profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent entity of $628,400,000 (2014: $493,031,000) and a 
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding as disclosed during the year ended 31 December 2015 of 270 million 
shares (2014: 270 million shares). RCOP is calculated by adjusting the statutory profit for significant items and inventory gains and 
losses as follows:

Thousands of dollars

Receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at 
amortised cost less impairment losses.

Impairment testing is performed at reporting date. A provision for impairment losses is raised if there is a specific indicator that 
an impairment loss on receivables has been incurred.

An impairment loss is reversed when an event, occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, objectively indicates an increase 
in the recoverable amount.

Impaired receivables
As at 31 December 2015, current trade receivables of the Group with a nominal value of $8,235,000 (2014: $5,951,000) were 
impaired. The individually impaired receivables relate to a variety of customers who are in financial difficulties. No collateral is held 
over these impaired receivables.

As at 31 December 2015, trade receivables of $27,997,000 (2014: $68,795,000) were past due but not impaired. These relate to a 
number of customers for whom there is no recent history of default. The ageing analysis of receivables past due but not impaired is 
as follows:

Thousands of dollars

Past due 0 – 30 days
Past due 31 – 60 days
Past due greater than 60 days

The creation and release of the provision for impaired receivables has been included in general and administration expenses in 
the income statement. Amounts charged to the allowance account are written off when there is no expectation of recovering 
additional cash.

The other classes within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit 
history of these other classes, it is expected that these amounts will be received when due.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is based on the first in first out (FIFO) principle and 
includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure incurred in 
acquiring the inventories and bringing them into the existing location and condition.

The amount of any write-down or loss of inventory is recognised as an expense in the period it is incurred. Inventory write-downs 
may be reversed when net realisable value increases subsequent to initial write-down. The reversal is limited to the original write-
down amount.

Inventories held at 31 December 2015 were written down to their net realisable value. The amount of the write-down was 
$48,100,000 (2014: $117,000,000) and is included in inventory losses in the income statement.

The amortisation charge of $14,183,000 (2014: $17,866,000) is recognised in selling and distribution expenses and general and 
administration expenses in the income statement.

Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated 
to cash-generating units and is tested annually for impairment. In respect of equity accounted investees, the carrying amount of 
goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment in the associate.

Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised directly in the consolidated income statement.

Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Amortisation
Amortisation is charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible 
assets. Other intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful lives in the current and 
comparative periods are reflected by the following amortisation percentages:

Software development
Software not integrated with hardware
Rights and licences

7 – 17%
17%
6 – 33%

Impairment
The carrying amounts of intangible assets are reviewed to determine if there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication 
exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated and, if required, an impairment is recognised in the income statement.

Impairment tests for cash-generating units containing goodwill
Goodwill has historically been attached to distributor businesses. Following the reorganisation of Caltex’s business model, the 
distributor businesses have been integrated within Caltex’s Supply and Marketing business. Goodwill has been reallocated to a 
cash-generating unit containing all the assets in the integrated value chain (inclusive of retail sites, depots, pipeline and terminals) 
on a state by state basis.

The recoverable amount of goodwill has been determined based on a value in use calculation. This calculation uses pre-tax cash 
flow projections based on an extrapolation of the year end cash flows and available budget information. The cash flows have been 
discounted using a pre-tax discount rate of 14.6% p.a. The cash flows have been extrapolated using a constant growth rate of 
2.5%. The growth rates used do not exceed the long term growth rate for the industry.

There were no goodwill impairment losses recognised during the year ended 31 December 2015 (2014: nil).

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the petroleum industry and are 
based on both external sources and internal sources (historic data).

Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based 
would not cause the carrying amount of goodwill recorded to exceed its recoverable amount.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSC OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIESFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015Owned assets
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of 
materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.

The cost of property, plant and equipment includes the cost of decommissioning and restoration costs at the end of their economic 
lives if a present legal or constructive obligation exists. More details of how this cost is estimated and recognised is contained in 
note C6.

Assessment of impairment is made in accordance with the impairment policy noted below.

Leased assets
Leases of property, plant and equipment under which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are 
classified as finance leases. Other leases are classified as operating leases.

Subsequent expenditure
Expenditure incurred to replace a component of an item of property, plant and equipment that is accounted for separately, 
including cyclical maintenance, is capitalised. Other subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future 
economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be reliably measured. All other 
expenditure is recognised in the consolidated income statement as an expense as incurred.

Major cyclical maintenance
Major cyclical maintenance expenditure is separately capitalised as an asset component to the extent that it is probable that future 
economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance, will eventuate. All other such costs are expensed as 
incurred. Capitalised cyclical maintenance expenditure is depreciated over the lesser of the additional useful life of the asset or the 
period until the next major cyclical maintenance is scheduled to occur.

Depreciation
Items of property, plant and equipment, including buildings and leasehold property but excluding freehold land, are depreciated 
using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of the lease 
term or useful life.

The depreciation rates used, in the current and prior year, for each class of asset are as follows:

Freehold buildings
Leasehold property
Plant and equipment
Leased plant and equipment

2%
2 – 10%
3 – 25%
3 – 25%

Assets are depreciated from the date of acquisition or, in respect of internally constructed assets, from the time an asset is 
completed and held ready for use.

69

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTC4 Property, plant and equipment continued
Impairment
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed to determine if there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication 
exists, these assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated and, if required, an impairment is recognised in the income statement. 
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

In assessing the carrying value of property, plant and equipment, management considers long term assumptions relating to key 
external factors including Singapore refiner margins, foreign exchange rates and crude oil prices; any changes in these assumptions 
can have a material impact on the carrying value.

Trade accounts payable are normally settled on between 30 and 60 day terms.

Payables are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at 
amortised cost.

A provision is recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event that can be measured 
reliably and it is probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the timing or amount 
of which is uncertain.

A provision is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (adjusted for expected future risks) required to settle the 
obligation at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

Subsequent accretion to the amount of a provision due to unwinding of the discount is recognised as a financing cost.

Estimates of the amount of an obligation are based on current legal and constructive obligations, technology and price levels. 
Actual outflows can differ from estimates due to changes in laws, regulations, public expectations, technology, prices and 
conditions and can take place many years in the future. The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are regularly reviewed and 
adjusted to take account of such change.

In general, the further in the future that a cash outflow for a liability is expected to occur, the greater the degree of uncertainty 
around the amount and timing of that cash outflow. Examples of cash outflows that are expected to occur a number of years in the 
future and, as a result, about which there is uncertainty of the amounts involved, include asset decommissioning and restoration 
obligations and employee pension obligations.

A change in the estimate of a recognised provision or liability would impact the consolidated income statement, with the exception 
of decommissioning and certain restoration costs that relate to the initial construction of an asset, which would be accounted for 
on a prospective basis.

71

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTC6 Provisions continued
Site remediation and dismantling
Provisions relating to current and future remediation activities are recognised as liabilities when a legal or constructive 
obligation arises.

The provision is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These costs 
are reviewed annually and any changes are reflected in the provision at the end of the reporting period through the consolidated 
income statement.

The ultimate cost of remediation is uncertain and cost estimates can vary in response to many factors including changes to the 
relevant legal and environmental requirements, the emergence of new techniques or experience at other sites and uncertainty as to 
the remaining life of existing sites.

Costs for the future dismantling and removal of assets, and restoration of the site on which the assets are located, are provided 
for and capitalised upon initial construction of the asset, where an obligation to incur such costs arises. The present value of the 
expected future cash flows required to settle these obligations is capitalised and depreciated over the useful life of the asset.

Subsequent accretion to the amount of a provision due to unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost. A change 
in estimate of the provision is added to or deducted from the cost of the related asset in the period of the change, to the extent 
that any amount of deduction does not exceed the carrying amount of the asset. Any deduction in excess of the carrying amount 
is recognised in the consolidated income statement immediately. If an adjustment results in an addition to the cost of the related 
asset, consideration will be given to whether an indication of impairment exists and the impairment policy will be applied.

Dividends
A provision for dividends payable is recognised in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared, for the entire 
undistributed amount.

Other
Other includes legal, insurance and other provisions.

Domestic medium term and subordinated notes
These notes are initially recognised when issued at fair value, less transaction costs. These costs are subsequently accounted for 
using the amortised cost method. Any difference between the fair value and the principal value is recognised in the consolidated 
income statement over the period of the interest bearing liability on an effective interest basis.

D2 Risk management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity 
price), as well as credit and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial 
markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group uses a range of derivative 
financial instruments to hedge market exposures.

The Group enters into derivative transactions, principally interest rate swaps, foreign currency exchange contracts (forwards, swaps 
or options), and commodity price swaps. The purpose is to manage the market risks arising from the Group’s operations and its 
sources of finance.

Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value. The gain or loss on subsequent remeasurement is recognised 
immediately in the consolidated income statement. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any 
resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged.

It is the Group’s policy that no discretionary trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.

Group Treasury manages market risk, liquidity risk, financial institutional credit risk and capital management. Risk management 
activities in respect to customer credit risk are carried out by the Group’s Credit Risk department. Both Group Treasury and Credit 
Risk operate under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group Treasury and Credit Risk identify, evaluate and monitor the 
financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units.

The Group finances its operations through a variety of financial instruments including bank loans, domestic medium term notes, 
subordinated notes and finance leases. Surplus funds are invested in cash and short term deposits.

The Group has various other financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations.

The magnitude of each type of financial risk that has arisen over the year is discussed in notes D2.1 to D2.5 below.

Cash flow hedges
Interest rate instruments, forward exchange contracts, foreign currency options, cross currency swaps and crude and finished 
products swap contracts are classified as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in fair value of these derivative financial 
instruments is recognised directly in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the 
income statement.

Amounts accumulated in equity are transferred to the income statement in the period when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative 
gain or loss existing in equity at the time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised 
in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported 
in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement.

73

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTD2 Risk management continued
D2.1 Interest rate risk
Interest rate instruments
The Group enters into fixed interest rate instruments to manage cash flow risks associated with the interest rate volatility on 
borrowings that are floating. Interest rate instruments allow the Group to swap floating rate borrowings into fixed rates. Maturities 
of swap contracts are principally between one and three years.

At 31 December 2015, the fixed rates under these swap contracts varied from 3.4% p.a. to 5.3% p.a. (2014: 3.4% p.a. to 5.3% p.a.), 
a weighted average rate of 4.6% p.a. (2014: 4.3% p.a.).

The net fair value of interest rate swap contracts at 31 December 2015 was a $1,640,000 loss (2014: $5,124,000 loss).

Interest rate sensitivity analysis
At 31 December 2015, if interest rates had changed by -/+1% from the year end rates, with all other variables held constant, the

D2.2 Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency transactions are recorded, on initial recognition, in Australian dollars by applying the exchange rate at the date 
of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to Australian dollars 
at the foreign exchange rate applicable for that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the 
consolidated income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign 
currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated 
in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates at the dates the fair 
value was determined.

The Group is exposed to the effect of changes in exchange rates on its operations.

Forward foreign exchange contracts and currency options are used to hedge foreign currency payables in accordance with Group 
Policy. The Group implemented a foreign exchange policy in June 2010 of hedging 50% of the Group’s US dollar denominated 
crude and products payable. From 1 August 2014, the amended foreign exchange policy increased to 80% of the Group’s US dollar 
denominated crude and products payable. The Group also enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to cover major capital 
expenditure items. As at 31 December 2015, the total fair value of all outstanding forward contracts amounted to a $476,000 gain 
(2014: $2,851,000 gain).

D2.3 Commodity price risk
The Group is exposed to the effect of changes in commodity price on its operations.

The Group utilises both crude and finished product swap contracts to manage the risk of price movements. The commodity 
hedging policy seeks to minimise adverse price timing risks and basis exposures brought about by purchase and sales transactions.

Caltex’s policy has been not to hedge refiner margins. However, given the unusual strength in regional refiner margins currently, 
Caltex hedged a portion of its third quarter 2015 refiner margins in order to support near term earnings.

At 31 December 2015, if commodity prices had changed by -/+10% from the year end prices, with all other variables held 
constant, the impact on post-tax profit for the year for the Group and equity would have been:

D2.4 Credit risk
Customer credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted.

The credit risk on financial assets of the Group which have been recognised on the consolidated balance sheet is the carrying 
amount of trade debtors, net of allowances for impairment (see note C1).

Caltex has a Board approved Credit Policy and manual which provide the guidelines for the management and diversification of 
the credit risk to Caltex. The guidelines provide for the manner in which the credit risk of customers is assessed and the use of 
credit rating and other information in order to set appropriate limits of trade with customers. The credit quality of customers 
is consistently monitored in order to identify any potential adverse changes in the credit risk of the customers. Where sales to 
customers are settled in cash or using major credit cards, the credit risk is mitigated.

Caltex also minimises concentrations of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers across a variety of 
industries and networks.

Security is required to be supplied by certain groups of Caltex customers to minimise risk. The security is predominantly in the form 
of a registered personal property security interest over the customer’s business and mortgages over the business property. However, 
mortgages are also held over directors’ property such as residential houses or rural properties. Bank guarantees or insurance bonds 
are also provided in some cases.

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTD2 Risk management continued
D2.4 Credit risk continued
Financial institution credit risk
Credit risk on cash, short term deposits and derivative contracts is minimised by transacting with relationship banks which have 
acceptable credit ratings determined by a recognised ratings agency.

Swap contracts, foreign exchange contracts and crude and finished product swap contracts are subject to credit risk in relation to 
the relevant counterparties, which are principally large relationship banks.

The maximum credit risk exposure on foreign currency contracts is the fair value amount of the foreign currency that Caltex 
receives when settlement occurs, should the counterparty fail to pay the amount which it is committed to pay the Group. The full 
amount of the exposure is disclosed at note D2.2.

The credit risk on interest rate swaps is limited to the positive mark to market amount to be received from counterparties over 
the life of contracts that are favourable to the Group. As at 31 December 2015, there is no expected credit risk on any financial 
instruments (2014: nil).

D2.5 Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, the liquidity risk policy requires maintaining sufficient cash and an adequate 
amount of committed credit facilities to be held above the forecast requirements of the business.

The Group manages liquidity risk centrally by monitoring cash flow forecasts, maintaining adequate cash reserves and debt 
facilities. The debt portfolio is periodically reviewed to ensure there is funding flexibility across an appropriate maturity profile.

The tables below set out the contractual timing of cash flows on derivative and non-derivative financial assets and liabilities at the 
reporting date, including drawn borrowings and interest.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS D CAPITAL, FUNDING AND RISK MANAGEMENTFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015D3 Capital management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue 
to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the 
cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return 
capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

During 2015, the Group’s strategy was to maintain a minimum long term credit rating of BBB+, in order to secure access to finance 
at a reasonable cost. The credit rating is impacted by two key ratios: Funds from Operations/Debt and Debt/Earnings Before 
Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation.

The Group’s gearing ratio is calculated as net debt/total capital. Net debt is calculated as total interest bearing liabilities less cash 
and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt.

The gearing ratios at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 were as follows:

D4 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The Group’s accounting policies and disclosures may require the measurement of fair values for both financial and non-financial 
assets and liabilities. The Group has an established framework for fair value measurement. When measuring the fair value of an asset 
or a liability, the Group uses market observable data where available.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the following valuation techniques:
•  Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•  Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 

(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

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

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability are categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then 
the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is 
significant to the entire measurement.

Fair values of recognised financial assets and liabilities with their carrying amounts shown in the balance sheet are as follows:

Estimation of fair values
(i)  Domestic medium term notes

The fair value of domestic medium term notes is determined by using an independent broker quotation.

(ii)  Lease liabilities

The fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash flows using the Group’s risk free rate.

(iii)  Derivatives

Interest rate instruments
 The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the swap at balance date taking 
into account current interest rates and credit adjustments.
Foreign exchange contracts
 The fair value of forward exchange contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles as at 
reporting date. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is determined using standard valuation techniques. Spot foreign exchange contracts are 
recorded at fair value, being the quoted market price at balance date.
Crude and finished product swap contracts
 The fair value of crude and product swap contracts is calculated by reference to market prices for contracts with similar maturity profiles at reporting date.

Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the 
taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of 
previous years. Deferred tax expense represents the changes in temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or 
liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base.

At the date of this report, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) had not determined the extent to which earnings from the Group’s 
Singaporean entities would be subject to income tax in Australia under the regime for the taxation of controlled foreign company 
income. Due to the uncertainty of the ATO’s determination, the Group has estimated the income tax rate of 30% for 2015, being 
the Australian corporate income tax rate.

E2 Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following 
temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a 
business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, 
associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary 
differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets 
and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

79

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORT 
 
 
 
E2 Deferred tax continued
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset 
can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

E2.4 Tax consolidation
Caltex Australia Limited, as the head company, recognises all current tax balances relating to its wholly owned Australian resident 
entities included in the tax-consolidated group (TCG). The head entity, in conjunction with the other members of the TCG, has 
entered into a tax funding arrangement which sets out the funding obligations of members of the TCG in respect of tax amounts.

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTF2 Business combinations
2015
Hawkins Fuels
On 23 July 2015, Caltex acquired two Caltex branded truck stops from Hawkins Fuels (Hawkins) for a consideration of $7,268,000 
plus incidental acquisition costs.

Hawkins is an independent fuel reseller business that operates in Queensland. The acquisition complements Caltex’s existing 
national network and is consistent with Caltex’s strategy of being Australia’s leading transport fuels provider.

In the five months up to 31 December 2015, Hawkins contributed a gross sales revenue of $1,178,000 and a net profit of $160,000 
(including acquisition costs) to the consolidated gross sales revenue and net profit for the year. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 
January 2015, the Group estimates that gross sales revenue would have been $1,476,000 greater and net profit would have been 
$804,000 greater.

The acquisition had the following effect on the Group’s assets and liabilities:

The recognised values represent the fair value of assets recorded on acquisition.

Intangible assets acquired of $779,000 represents the amount paid to Hawkins for customer relationships and trade restraint, which 
meets the criteria for recognition as a separately identifiable intangible asset at the date of acquisition. These intangible assets are to 
be amortised over the remainder of the agreement term.

Goodwill acquired of $4,512,000 represents other intangible assets that did not meet the criteria for recognition as separately 
identifiable assets at the date of acquisition. None of the goodwill recognised is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

There were no other material business combinations during the year ended 31 December 2015.

2014
Scott’s Fuel Divisions
On 4 June 2014, Caltex acquired the assets and liabilities of Scott’s Fuel Divisions (Scott’s) for a consideration of $86,466,000 plus 
incidental acquisition costs. This acquisition included the businesses known as Scott’s Agencies and Sabadin Petroleum.

The Scott’s Fuel Divisions operate throughout the regional areas of South Australia, Victoria, southern New South Wales and 
southern/central Northern Territory. This extensive network consists of 28 retail service stations and 18 depots.

The acquisition complements Caltex’s existing national network and is consistent with Caltex’s strategy of being Australia’s leading 
transport fuels provider.

In the seven months up to 31 December 2014, Scott’s contributed a gross sales revenue of $180,395,000 and a net profit 
of $10,094,000 to the consolidated gross sales revenue and net profit for the year. If the acquisition had occurred on 
1 January 2014, the Group estimates that gross sales revenue would have been $286,000,000 greater and net profit would have 
been $9,500,000 greater.

F3 Equity accounted investees
Associates are those entities over whose financial and operating policies the Group has significant influence, but not control. Joint 
ventures are those entities whose financial and operating policies the Group has joint control over, and where the Group has rights 
to the net assets of the entity.

The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the total recognised gains and losses of associates and joint 
ventures on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that it 
ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture, the carrying amount is 
reduced to nil and recognition of future losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive 
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

Other movements in reserves are recognised directly in the consolidated reserves.

Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in 
the entity. Unrealised losses arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated in the same way as unrealised 
gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

CALTEX 2015 ANNUAL REPORTF4 Joint venture operations
Joint venture operations are those entities whose financial and operating policies the Group has joint control over, and where the 
Group has rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the entity.

The interests of the Group in unincorporated joint operations are brought to account by recognising in its financial statements the 
assets it controls and the liabilities that it incurs, and the expenses it incurs and its share of income that it earns from the sale of 
goods or services by the joint operation.

The Group has joint interests in multiple Joint User Hydrant Installations (JUHIs), which are based at airports across Australia. The 
Group’s interest in the JUHIs ranges from 20% – 50%. The principal activity of the JUHIs is refuelling aircraft at the airports. For the 
year ended 31 December 2015, the contribution of the JUHIs to the operating profit of the Group was nil (2014: nil). Included in 
the assets and liabilities of the Group are the Group’s interests in the assets and liabilities employed in the joint venture operation:

Finance leases
Assets of the Group acquired under finance leases are capitalised and included in property, plant and equipment at the lesser of fair 
value or present value of the minimum lease payments with a corresponding finance lease liability. Contingent rentals are written 
off as an expense of the period in which they are incurred. Capitalised lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term 
and their useful life.

Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance 
charge components of lease payments are charged to the consolidated income statement to reflect a constant finance rate on the 
remaining balance of the liability for each accounting period.

during the year (2014: nil).

Operating leases
Payments made under operating leases are charged against net profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting period covered 
by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the benefits to be derived from the leased property. 
Contingent rentals are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Lease incentives received are recognised in 
the consolidated income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group holds operating leases expiring from one to 36 years. Leases generally provide the Group with a right of renewal at 
which time all terms are renegotiated. Lease payments comprise mainly a base amount; however, in a few cases, they include 
a base amount and incremental contingent rental. Contingent rentals are based on operating performance criteria. Contingent 
rentals of $466,497 were paid during the year (2014: $383,476).

The expense recognised in the income statement during the year in respect of operating leases is $161,583,000 (2014: $160,549,000).

There are no restrictions placed upon the Group by entering into these leases. Renewals are at the option of the specific entity that 
holds the lease.

Executive share plan
From 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2014, a mandatory deferral of short term incentives (STI) applied to Senior Executives. Under 
the deferral policy, one third of their STI, as long as the incentive was greater than $105,000, was to be delivered in Caltex shares, 
which have a six month service related forfeiture risk and are restricted from sale for two years.

The directors approved the 2014 STI in February 2015 which included a deferred value of $1,140,865. Shares to a value of 
$1,140,776 were purchased on market during April 2015 (equating to 33,284 shares at a grant date fair value of $34.27 per share). 
The service related forfeiture condition was met in October 2015 and the shares will be held under restriction until April 2017 
(unless the Senior Executive ceases employment prior to this date).

No shares are to be purchased in April 2016 in respect of the 2015 STI, as this mandatory STI deferral no longer applies. However, 
from April 2016 new share retention requirements apply to long term incentives (LTI), which involve a four year sales restriction on 
25% of Senior Executives’ vested LTI shares.

Performance rights
Since 1 January 2007, Senior Executives may receive performance rights under Caltex’s Equity Incentive Plan, based on the 
achievement of specific targets related to the performance of the Group. The measure of performance is Total Shareholder Returns 
(TSR) over a three year period relative to two comparator groups.

Net tangible assets are net assets attributable to members of Caltex less intangible assets. The weighted average number of 
ordinary shares used in the calculation of net tangible assets per share was 270 million (2014: 270 million).

G8 New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 
1 January 2016, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these are expected to 
have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except for:
•  AASB 9 Financial Instruments, which becomes mandatory for the Group’s 2018 consolidated financial statements and could 

change the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. The Group does not plan to adopt this standard 
early and the extent of the impact has not been determined.

•  AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which becomes mandatory for the Group’s 2018 consolidated financial 

statements and could change the basis for the recognition of revenue. The Group does not plan to adopt this standard early and 
the extent of the impact has not been determined.

•  IFRS 16 Leases, which becomes mandatory for the Group’s 2019 consolidated financial statements and could require that 

operating leases be recognised on the balance sheet. The Group does not plan to adopt this standard early and the extent of the 
impact has not been determined.

G9 Events subsequent to the end of the year
Joanne Taylor was appointed Executive General Manager, Human Resources effective 5 February 2016.

Mr Willshire will retire from the company effective 30 April 2016.

On 23 February 2016, the Group announced its intention to conduct a $270 million off-market share buy-back, which is expected 
to be completed during the second quarter of 2016.

There were no other items, transactions or events of a material or unusual nature, that, in the opinion of the Board, are likely 
to significantly affect the operations of Caltex, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group subsequent to 
31 December 2015.

*  Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding.

i. 

 The replacement cost of sales operating profit basis (RCOP) removes the impact of inventory gains and losses, giving a truer reflection of underlying financial 
performance. Gains and losses in the value of inventory due to fluctuations in the USD price of crude oil and foreign exchange impacts constitute a major 
external influence on company profits. RCOP restates profit to remove these impacts. The Caltex RCOP methodology is consistent with the methods used by 
other refining and marketing companies for restatement of their financials. 
As a general rule, an increase in crude prices on an Australian dollar basis will create an earnings gain for Caltex (but working capital requirements will also 
increase). Conversely, a drop in crude prices on an Australian dollar basis will create an earnings loss. This is a direct consequence of the first in first out 
(FIFO) costing process used by Caltex in adherence with accounting standards to produce the financial result on a historical cost basis. With Caltex holding 
approximately 45 to 60 days of inventory, revenues reflect current prices in Singapore whereas FIFO costings reflect costs some 45 to 60 days earlier. The 
timing difference creates these inventory gains and losses. 
To remove the impact of this factor on earnings and to better reflect the underlying performance of the business, the RCOP NPAT methodology calculates 
the cost of goods sold on the basis of theoretical new purchases instead of actual costs from inventory. The cost of these theoretical new purchases is 
calculated as the average monthly cost of cargoes received during the month of those sales.

ii.   Historical cost results include gross inventory gains or losses from the movement in crude oil prices. In 2015, the historical cost result includes $193 million 

inventory loss (2014: $516 million inventory loss). Net inventory loss is adjusted to reflect impact of revenue lags.

iii.   Replacement cost profit after income tax is calculated before taking into account any significant items over the five years. The total effect of these significant 
items in each year was: 2011: $1,594 million expenses before tax ($1,116 million after tax); 2012: $441 million expenses before tax ($309 million after tax); 
2013: $28 million gain before tax ($26 million after tax); 2014: $160 million expenses before tax ($112 million after tax); and 2015: $32 million gain before 
tax ($29 million after tax).
