From time to time, directors visit various sites to improve their understanding of the Group’s locations and operations. Director site visits have been limited during the year ended 30 June 2021 due to travel restrictions implemented as a result of the impact of the global coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”). PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activities of the Group during the course of the year included the following: • cinema exhibition operations in Australia and New Zealand, including technology equipment supply and servicing, and the State Theatre; cinema exhibition operations in Germany (refer to note 1.5 of the financial statements); ownership, operation and management of hotels and resorts in Australia and overseas; operation of the Thredbo resort including property development activities; and property development, investment properties, and investment in shares in unlisted companies. • • • • SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, a material impact on the Group’s operating divisions. The government-mandated temporary closure of certain businesses, and subsequent periodic closures, lockdowns and travel restrictions, have materially impacted all of the Group’s businesses. Further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Group is set out below in the Operating and Financial Review. There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the year. 5 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW The result for the year was materially impacted by the continued and unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic resulting in significant government mandated trading restrictions and closures. These restrictions were most severe in the first half of the year, and when restrictions eased in the second half, there were signs of a return to pre-COVID-19 demand. Group revenue excluding the benefit of government subsidies was $540.7 million, down $449.3 million or 45.4% on the prior year. Group revenue in the second half was up 30.9% on the first half and for divisions that were open, all exceeded revenue on the comparable half year period. In Entertainment, with cinemas re-opening globally, towards the end of the year studios began to release blockbuster films and the immediate pent-up demand for the cinema experience was evident. Despite various interstate and international travel restrictions, Hotels experienced quarter-on-quarter improvement in trading, reaching 63.1% occupancy in the fourth quarter. At Thredbo, whilst the available audience was impacted by more than 50% due to government restrictions, the changes implemented to adapt to the constraints mitigated the impact. In addition, record demand for the summer experience contributed to Thredbo achieving a full year record revenue result. To mitigate the impact of government trading restrictions on revenue, swift action was taken by management in the development of new COVID-safe and viable operating models. Active cost management as a result of business transformation initiatives reduced costs by $158 million, excluding government subsidies. The new business models are expected to deliver longer term benefits with improved margins post the pandemic. Since the commencement of the pandemic, active cost management strategies have delivered a total reduction in costs in the period from March 2020 to June 2021 of $264 million. 1. Normalised EBITDA is profit before depreciation, amortisation, the impact of AASB 16 Leases, interest, tax and individually significant items. Normalised profit is an unaudited non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) measure. Reduced revenue is before wage subsidies and support (presented separately). Revenue related cost savings include film hire and cost of goods sold. Subsidies and support represent incremental amounts recognised during the year ended 30 June 2021 when compared with the year ended 30 June 2020 and includes German government support recognised during the year and wage subsidies including JobKeeper in Australia, the Wage Subsidy in New Zealand, and Short-Time Pay in Germany. Approximately half of all wage subsidies received in the year represented a pass-through to employees that were not working during the period. Active cost management represents all other cost savings. 2. 3. 4. 5. Since March 2020, the Group has applied government wage subsidy programs including JobKeeper in Australia, the Wage Subsidy in New Zealand, and Short-Time Pay in Germany. The JobKeeper program concluded in March 2021. Overall, approximately half of all wage subsidies received to date represented a pass-through to employees that were not working during the period, and as such provided no net benefit to the Group. The balance of the wage subsidies received assisted the Group in retaining employees during periods of government-mandated periodic closures, lockdowns and travel restrictions, which have materially impacted all of the Group’s businesses. The Group’s unallocated corporate costs were down 12.6% on the prior full year. This included the voluntary salary reductions from the CEO and Executive, and reduced Board fees. In addition, no bonus payments were made in the financial year. These unallocated cost savings were partially offset by an increase in insurance premiums of $2.0 million and overall, the Group’s insurance costs escalated to $11.2 million, up 75.9%. 6 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The Group achieved a positive normalised EBITDA for the year of $27.2 million. The second half delivered improved EBITDA when compared with both the prior comparable period and the first half of the current year. All divisions generated a positive EBITDA in the second half and for the first time Thredbo delivered a positive EBITDA and PBIT in this period. Good progress has been made on the non-core property divestment strategy, realising $79.6 million of gross proceeds (before selling costs and tax). Gross proceeds of $49.3 million were settled during the year ended 30 June 2021 and $30.3 million is to settle before September 2021. The total gross proceeds exceeded the most recent valuations for these properties by $29.8 million, a 60% increase. Further non–core properties have been identified and are being prepared for sale in the year ending 30 June 2022 with additional non-core properties being contemplated for potential sale in FY23. The Group is on track to achieve the goal of realising proceeds of $250 million in non-core asset sales within two years. The overall independent value of the Group’s property portfolio increased 4.2% to $2,057.4 million at 30 June 2021, notwithstanding the sale of non-core properties last valued at $49.8 million for proceeds of $79.6 million. Excluding Rydges Melbourne, Rydges North Sydney and Rydges Queenstown, the portfolio valuations increased 8.4%. Rydges Melbourne has been identified as a priority asset with a major upgrade programme required and, subject to cost assessments, planned to close for works to commence and complete in calendar year 2022. Rydges North Sydney has been identified as a non-core property and is expected to be sold in the 2021/22 financial year. The Rydges Queenstown accommodation wings were closed in February 2019 and work is underway to determine options for seismic strengthening. Good progress was made on the two major property developments with significant initial value of $37 million added to the 525 George Street property through the Stage 1 Development Application (“DA”) approval. The Stage 2 DA application is expected to be lodged this financial year and, subject to market conditions and the sale of the 109 apartments, this project is targeted to commence in 2023/24 and be completed in 2026/27. The DA for the podium component of the proposed 458-472 George Street development has been approved. This will include ground floor retail space (340m2) on George Street, an extension of the QT Sydney hotel with 72 additional hotel rooms, a conference centre and QT rooftop bar. The Stage 1 DA for the commercial office tower above the podium will be lodged this financial year. Improved trading in the second half, active cost management and the execution on the non-core property divestment strategy, has enabled the Group to reduce gross debt to $476.4 million and net debt to $355.5 million at 30 June 2021. The Group continues to make strong progress on transformation and future growth initiatives including: • Hotel network expansion maximising local capabilities, introducing innovative commercial structures, and evaluating emerging accommodation sectors; a record year of hotel network expansion was achieved. • Right-sizing of the cinema portfolio, with ‘fewer and best’ locations and a targeted investment in proven ‘Cinema of the • Future’ concepts; new upgrades have delivered double digit growth in key metrics. Transformation of the Thredbo business model and an enhanced on-mountain experience including the introduction of year-round new revenue opportunities; a record earnings year was achieved. • Growing the value of the property portfolio through major property developments at 458-472 George Street and 525 George Street in Sydney, investment in key hotel assets and divestment of non-core properties; property portfolio increased in value, and on track to achieve proceeds of $250 million in non-core asset sales within two years. Transformation of support functions to future-proof and increase agility and productivity; critical investment has been required in IT and the first stage of the cloud migration project has been completed, established a centralised procurement function and on track to deliver savings in future years, development of data dashboards and customised rostering tools to underpin the new operating models. • • Commitment to customer-centric strategies to improve customer satisfaction and ensure best leverage of customer data; customer sentiment measurement established, Group data project underway, eCommerce enhancements and development and trial of new mobile customer transaction options. • • Highly engaged culture: ‘ELEVATE’ people framework and tools implemented including recognition of performance against the Group’s vision, values and strategic goals, retention incentives and alternative recruitment programmes implemented to recognise the competitive employment market. This year, the Group will formally launch its corporate social responsibility strategy, details of which will be finalised and communicated to shareholders and other stakeholders during the year ending 30 June 2022. In addition, to support the Group’s existing climate change risk management framework, the Group has for the first time disclosed its Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions in the Corporate Governance Statement released separately to ASX, and will start to report under the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) framework with effect from the year ending 30 June 2022. 7 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T July 2021 Result (unaudited) Whilst the COVID-19 Delta variant outbreak and government lockdowns in Australia in June 2021 did not significantly impact the result for the year, this has materially impacted the results for the Group’s Australian divisions in July 2021. New Zealand operated largely without restrictions in July, however in August the New Zealand market also entered into a period of lockdown. German cinemas have reopened from 1 July 2021 with government restrictions in place. The unaudited Group EBITDA for July 2021 was $0.4 million, up $6.7 million on July 2020, which included $9.6 million in relevant government wage subsidies. Thredbo delivered a positive contribution in July despite restrictions limiting access to around 25% of the available audience. The government mandated closure of Thredbo in August will materially impact the Winter season. In Germany, initial trading results have been encouraging notwithstanding various capacity restrictions applicable across the German states, with July 2021 achieving the best admissions total since July 2018. The Group’s Australian and New Zealand cinemas have performed well when they have been open and when content has been available, with New Zealand EBITDA positive and up approximately $1 million on July 2020. The Group’s Hotels and Resorts in New Zealand were EBITDA positive and ahead of July 2020, whilst in Australia the result was severely impacted due to the increase in comparative year-on-year government lockdowns and restrictions resulting in the first negative EBITDA since the pandemic commenced. The absence of direct Australian government support in the current lockdowns for large businesses, including the EVENT Group, has been challenging and the Group continues to implement active cost management strategies in response to these government- mandated restrictions. It was pleasing to see the immediate response from the New Zealand Government with the return of the wage subsidy scheme to support all businesses in retaining employees through the lockdown period. The speed of the government vaccine rollout program will determine the timeline for re-opening in the affected areas of Australia and New Zealand. The Group is confident that once restrictions are eased, the pent-up demand and swift rebound experienced in the second half, will continue. The Group’s Hotels group continues to outperform the local market, there is a strong line up of films to release when all cinemas can reopen and the new business model for Thredbo provides foundation for growth. The Group has a strong balance sheet and is in an advantageous position to face the immediate challenges and invest in growth for the future. 8 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual

CineStar Germany On 22 October 2018, the sale of the German cinema exhibition operations to Vue International Bidco plc (“Vue”), subject to German Federal Cartel Office (“FCO”) approval, was announced. On 3 March 2020, the Group announced that the FCO had provided conditional clearance for the transaction subject to the divestment of six sites within a six-month period. On 21 August 2020 the Group announced that a sale of one of these six sites had been completed and that the FCO had provided an extension of time for satisfaction of its conditions in respect of the remaining five sites until 13 November 2020. In December 2020, the sale was deemed prohibited by the FCO as a result of Vue’s failure to satisfy the FCO’s condition for the sale transaction. The Group continues to consider all of its legal options in relation to Vue’s breach of the sale and purchase agreement. Further details in relation to the transaction have been provided within note 1.5 of the financial statements. Individually significant items Individually significant items comprised the following: Profit on sale of properties Reversal of impairment charges booked in previous years Impairment charges Write-off of assets Restructure costs, redundancies and staff retention costs arising as a result of COVID-19 Hotel and cinema pre-opening costs Legal and other costs associated with the sale of a business segment Other expenses (net of income items) Individually significant items expense before income tax Income tax benefit Individually significant items (expense)/income after income tax 2021 $’000 2020 $’000 35,205 3,997 (9,920) – (5,895) – (4,683) (4,794) 13,910 (2,136) 11,774 – 2,219 (56,910) (6,232) (6,723) (592) (2,263) (2,448) (72,949) 20,137 (52,812) Investments The Group acquired property, plant and equipment totalling $30,283,000 during the year. The significant acquisitions and capital additions include the following: • cinema developments at Village Clayton (joint venture) in Victoria and EVENT Edmondson Park (joint venture) in New South Wales; cinema refurbishments at EVENT Toowoomba and EVENT George Street in Sydney, EVENT Innaloo in Western Australia and EVENT Queensgate in New Zealand; and refurbishment requirements for Thredbo, cinemas, hotels and resorts. • • On 30 April 2021, the Group acquired 100% of Jucy Snooze Limited (“Snooze”), having previously acquired a 50% interest on 3 February 2020. The net consideration paid for the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest was NZ$3,718,000 (A$3,460,000). Further information relating to the acquisition has been outlined within note 5.1 of the Annual Report. Property The Group announced in February 2021 the initiation of a strategy to divest non-core property assets, and strong progress has been made with this strategy during the year ended 30 June 2021. The Group has also continued to make progress with the two major development projects at 525 George Street and 458-472 George Street, Sydney. Further information regarding these matters is set out below in the Review of Operations by Division. 10 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The Group’s interest in land and buildings and integral plant and equipment, including long term leasehold land and improvements, is independently valued by registered qualified valuers on a progressive three-year cycle. Independent valuations for the majority of the Group’s properties were obtained at 30 June 2021, and the total value of the Group’s interest in land and buildings based on these independent valuations is $2,057,443,000 (refer to Notes 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 to the financial statements) whilst the total written- down book value of these land and buildings including integral plant and equipment at 30 June 2021 was $1,112,920,000. The total value of the Group’s properties as at 30 June 2021 included: Valuation of: Interest in land and buildings Investment properties Assets held for sale (c) Less: assets subsequently sold (d) Total Valuations 2021 (a) $’000 Carrying value 2021 $’000 Valuations 2020 (a), (b) $’000 Carrying value Restated 2020 (a), (b) $’000 1,965,563 64,500 27,380 2,057,443 – 2,057,443 1,030,447 64,500 17,973 1,112,920 – 1,112,920 1,953,202 74,550 – 2,027,752 (49,800) 1,977,952 1,092,506 74,550 – 1,167,056 (37,148) 1,129,908 (a) Valuations are based on independent valuations (as outlined in note 3.3 of the 2021 Annual Report). (b) The comparative information has been restated as a result of changes in accounting policy (as outlined in note 1.5 of the 2021 Annual Report). (c) Assets held for sale have been independently valued at 30 June 2021. (d) Assets subsequently sold include those freehold assets disposed of during the year ended 30 June 2021. Capital structure Cash and term deposits at 30 June 2021 totalled $120,978,000 (2020: $76,594,000) and total bank debt outstanding was $476,428,000 (2020: $488,300,000). Treasury policy The Group manages interest rate risk in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy covering the types of instruments, range of protection and duration of instruments. The financial instruments cover interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. Maturities of these instruments are up to a maximum of five years. Interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements allow the Group to raise long term borrowings at floating rates and swap a portion of those borrowings into fixed rates. The approved range of interest rate cover is based on the projected debt levels for each currency and reduced for each future year. At 30 June 2021, the Group had no interest rate hedges (2020: no interest rate hedges). Liquidity and funding As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s secured bank debt facilities comprised the following: $650,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan facility maturing on 3 July 2023; $43,500,000 non-revolving loan facility maturing on 3 January 2022; and $2,500,000 credit support facility (for the issue of letters of credit and bank guarantees). • • • The debt facilities are supported by interlocking guarantees from most Australian and New Zealand domiciled Group entities and secured by specific property mortgages. The debt facilities were amended and restated on 3 July 2020 and initially consisted of the $650,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan, a $100,000,000 non-revolving loan facility and $2,500,000 credit support facility. In relation to the non-revolving loan facility, the Group repaid and cancelled $56,500,000 of that facility during the year. Debt drawn under the loan facilities bears interest at the relevant inter-bank benchmark reference rate plus a margin of between 1.75% and 4.35% per annum. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had drawn $476,428,000 (2020: $488,300,000) under the loan facilities and $1,225,000 under the credit support facility (2020: $1,124,000). The debt facilities replaced a $545,000,000 revolving multi- currency loan facility and a $15,000,000 credit support facility that were in place at 30 June 2020. Cash flows from operations Net cash inflows from operating activities as reported decreased to $148,137,000 from $176,367,000 in the prior year. After adjusting to include the payment of lease liabilities, net cash inflows from operating activities decreased to $45,412,000 from $77,035,000 in the prior year. This movement was driven by the full impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s operations during the year ended 30 June 2021. Adjusted net cash flow from operating activities improved significantly in the second half of the year ended 30 June 2021 to net inflows of $77,976,000, from net outflows of $29,564,000 in the first half. 11 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Impact of legislation and other external requirements Since March 2020, a number of statutory requirements have been introduced in Australia, New Zealand and Germany by relevant authorities in response to COVID-19. Where applicable, these requirements have been satisfied by the Group in each territory. Safety and wellbeing remain the Group’s highest priority. Detailed COVID-19 safety plans and staff training programs have been developed for each of the Group’s operating divisions. In addition, to ensure these plans are consistent with best practice in Australia, advice was also sought from infectious diseases experts and the advice was incorporated into the Group’s safety plans. There were no other changes in environmental or other legislative requirements during the year that have significantly impacted the results of operations of the Group. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS BY DIVISION Entertainment Group The Group’s Entertainment divisions continue to perform well when films are released, and Government mandated restrictions are lifted. A combination of the benefits from the ‘Cinema of the Future’ strategic initiatives and new operating models have delivered significant benefits when cinemas have been permitted to reopen, with an increase in revenue per admission, a lower cost to serve, and improved customer sentiment. The impact of COVID-19 globally resulted in cinema closures and studios making the decision to delay film releases in cinemas until major markets had re-opened. Government restrictions and mandated closures have materially impacted the Group’s cinema operations during the year. The German cinemas initially reopened in July and August 2020 and traded with Government mandated capacity restrictions in place before closing again for nearly eight months from 2 November 2020. In Australia due to the various state lockdowns, including the extended Victorian lockdown from July to November 2020, every trading month was impacted with closures or government mandated restrictions. The New Zealand circuit was less impacted by government mandated restrictions but suffered from the delay of major blockbuster film titles whilst key overseas markets remained closed. The enduring customer appeal of cinemas continues to be demonstrated by strong and immediate demand when cinemas are open and blockbuster titles are released. In Australia and New Zealand, Easter weekend outperformed the pre-COVID-19 Easter weekend in 2019 in terms of box office, admissions and spend per head. In Germany, initial trading results have been encouraging notwithstanding various capacity restrictions applicable across German states, with July 2021 achieving the best admissions total since July 2018. The reopening of cinemas in the USA and European markets because of more advanced vaccination programmes, has unlocked the release of major blockbusters globally. Whilst there were fewer blockbuster films released in the second half relative to pre-COVID 2019, most of the franchise blockbusters released traded ahead of box office expectations and outperformed the prior release in the franchise including Godzilla vs Kong (Godzilla: King of the Monsters), Fast and Furious 9 (Fast and Furious presents Hobbs and Shaw) and A Quiet Place 2 (A Quiet Place). All results indicate that cinema rebounds quickly when blockbusters are available, due to pent up demand for customers to return to cinemas. Entertainment Australia As at 30 June Cinema locations* Cinema screens* 2021 71 680 2020 Movement 72 686 (1) (6) * Managed and joint venture cinema sites (excludes Moonlight Cinema sites and screens and the State Theatre). The Group’s Entertainment Australia revenue was $219.3 million, a 35.9% decrease on the prior year. The period was materially disrupted by the various State government mandated closures and COVID-19 operating restrictions. In all States, every month of the year was impacted due to government mandated closures or restrictions on operations, as outlined in the diagram below. 12 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report Impact of Australian state and territory government mandated closures or restrictions in the year ending 30 June 2021 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T As a result of the above, the Australian Box Office decreased by 46.6% on the prior year due to the major disruption from Australian government mandated restrictions and blockbuster titles being delayed. Only six blockbuster titles were released during the year versus 14 in the prior year due to COVID-19 related cinema closures globally. The absence of blockbuster content resulted in the top 10 films grossing $182.2 million, a decrease of 50.0% on the collective gross of the top ten titles in the prior year. Second half highlights The second half result was significantly improved on the first half, with positive EBITDA of $15.7 million compared with an EBITDA loss of $18.9 million in the first half, an improvement of $34.6 million. The key reasons for the improvement in performance in the second half include: 1. More blockbuster films were released due to the gradual reopening of cinemas globally in markets with advanced COVID- 19 vaccination programs. Three of the six blockbuster films for the year were released in the second half and a further two of these blockbuster films were released on Boxing Day and earned the majority of their box office in the second half. Only one title, Tenet, earned the majority of its box office in the first half. 2. An immediate return of audiences due to pent-up demand for the cinema experience across all customer segments. In addition, sequels including Godzilla vs Kong, Fast and Furious 9 and A Quiet Place 2 outperformed the previous titles in their respective series. All customer segments have returned to the cinema with analysis of the Group’s Cinebuzz membership database clearly showing similar audience demographics by age when compared with the pre-COVID-19 period. 3. Key revenue metrics including spend per head and average admission price delivered strong increases across the circuit and the upgraded Cinema of the Future locations further exceeded the circuit averages. 4. Strong active cost management with total savings excluding government subsidies of $46.8 million in the year. In addition, the success of the new operating model has demonstrated significant margin improvement when blockbuster titles were released, with an over 20 percentage point improvement in profit per admission achieved during the release of Fast and Furious 9 when compared with the previous title in that series. 5. Increased customer sentiment because of desire for the cinema experience, COVID-safe practices at a lower cost to serve. Premium concepts were strongly favoured by customers, reflected in the admission contribution from premium concepts increasing by 3.9 percentage points. In addition, a period of record merchandising spend per head was achieved resulting in every month in the year being a record, and overall merchandising spend per head grew by 24.5% over the prior period. The new merchandising layouts, continued growth of the owned brand Parlour Lane and eCommerce enhancements underpinned this growth. The percentage of admissions purchased online also increased by 6.3 percentage points. It is evident that the pent-up demand factor is driving customers to spend more when they can visit a cinema. 13 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The Group’s direct customer relationships remain exceptionally strong with Cinebuzz representing 71% of cinema visits and 88% of online transactions. The total registered member database at 30 June 2021 was 2.4 million, consistent with the prior year. Recognised COVID-19 safety plans were developed, implemented and endorsed by infectious disease experts. A new variable operating model was designed to try and offset the cost of COVID-19 safety plan operation and better reflect trading patterns. This has resulted in a strong improvement in customer satisfaction evidenced by improved net promoter scores, up nine points across the circuit, at a reduced cost to serve. In addition, flexible work arrangements were introduced for required roles, and the review and, where appropriate, restructure of head office functions continued. Negotiations with landlords in relation to rental abatements and deferral for the COVID-19 closure period and the subsequent rebuilding phase were substantially completed prior to 30 June 2021. Rental abatements are recognised when formal legal agreements, and the majority have been recognised in the second half of the financial year. The Group opened a new six-screen cinema, Event Cinemas Ed Square, Edmondson Park, Western Sydney in April 2021. The complex is comprised of two 3-seat concept Vmax auditoriums and four traditional auditoriums with a choice of full recliners or wide- cushioned standard seats. The cinema has performed very strongly from opening until the Greater Sydney lockdown in late June 2021, with the average admission price 28.0% higher than the circuit average, and merchandising spend per head for the site 33.9% up on the circuit average excluding Gold Class. During the year the Group refurbished the five screen Toowoomba Grand complex. In line with the strategy of targeted investment in premium concepts, a new Vmax auditorium added to the existing complex which consisted of the new 3-seat concept format of daybeds, reclining seats and premium fixed back seating delivering growth in key metrics. As part of the pre-COVID-19 strategy to divest or close the underperforming cinemas in portfolio, the Group closed the Townsville City cinema (5 screens) and Adelaide City cinema (5 screens) in July 2020, and exited the lease at Arndale (8 screens). Entertainment New Zealand (Note: all amounts in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated) As at 30 June Cinema locations * Cinema screens * * Managed and joint venture cinema sites. 2021 20 140 2020 Movement 21 144 (1) (4) Entertainment New Zealand revenue was $41.7 million or 39.4% below the prior year. Cinemas remained open with the exception of the government mandated closure of the Auckland cinemas for an 18-day period in August when the city went into level three COVID-19 restrictions. Cinemas across the country were impacted by capacity restrictions from mid-August to early October. Despite the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions in New Zealand, box office revenue was impacted by studio decisions to delay the release of blockbuster films globally until key USA and European markets were able to reopen. New Zealand nationwide box office decreased by 35.1% over the prior year. During the year there were only eight titles that grossed over $2 million at the New Zealand Box Office: Godzilla vs Kong (NZ$4.5 million), Peter Rabbit 2 (NZ$3.9 million), Wonder Woman 1984 (NZ$3.9 million), The Croods: A New Age (NZ$3.7 million), Fast and Furious 9 (NZ$3.7 million), Tenet (NZ$3.0 million), A Quiet Place Part II (NZ$2.5 million) and Trolls World Tour (NZ$2.3 million); compared to 15 titles in the prior comparable period. The absence of blockbuster content resulted in the top 10 films grossing $30.6 million, a decrease of 48.9% on the collective gross of the top ten titles in the prior year. Whilst there were no titles over NZ$6 million at the New Zealand Box Office during the financial year, the number of titles released remained strong in the context of the impact of COVID-19-related restrictions. In New Zealand, where there are less restrictions, the majority of sequel titles including Fast and Furious 9, Trolls: World Tour, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and Godzilla vs Kong exceeded the box office performance of the previous titles in those respective series. As with Entertainment Australia, the second half result was significantly improved on the first half. Adjusting for wage subsidies the result for the second half was a positive EBITDA of $1.2 million compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.6 million in the first half, an improvement of $6.8 million. A material improvement in key metrics was driven by new pricing strategies and operational model changes introduced in 2020 in response to the impact of COVID-19. Similar to the Australian market, customers continued to prefer the Group’s premium seating options, with the proportion of admissions choosing these options increasing by 5.3 percentage points over the prior year. In 14 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T addition, a record period of merchandising spend per head was achieved up 20.0%. Cinebuzz maintained its strong influence with Cinebuzz representing approximately 78.4% of all online transactions. The Net Promoter Score for Entertainment New Zealand showed a strong improvement of 3 points to 46 points, resulting in an improved customer experience at a lower cost to serve. During the year the Group continued the cost mitigation plans which were implemented in response to the impact of COVID-19, resulting in active cost management resulted in savings of $11.0 million during the year. Negotiations with landlords in relation to rental abatements and deferral for the COVID-19 closure period and the subsequent rebuilding phase were substantially completed prior to 30 June 2021. Rental abatements are recognised when formal legal agreements, and the majority have been recognised in the second half of the financial year. As part of the pre-COVID-19 strategy to divest or close the underperforming cinemas in the portfolio, the Group closed the four- screen Mount Maunganui cinema in July 2020, and the Group signed a contract for the sale of this property in June 2021 at NZ$5.2 million, NZ$2.1 million above the most recent valuation. Entertainment Germany As at 30 June Cinema locations * Cinema screens * * Managed and joint venture cinema sites. 2021 49 384 2020 Movement 51 394 (2) (10) The German circuit result for the year was defined by the German government-mandated closure of cinemas for most of the year, including the entire second half, in response to the second wave of COVID-19 in Europe. Given the extended market closure, even less films were able to be released in Germany. The highest grossing titles within the German market included: Tenet (1.6 million admissions); After Truth (0.9 million admissions) and Jim Knopf und die Wilde 13 (0.7 million admissions). The top ten films achieved total market admissions of 5.1 million, 86.2% below the admissions achieved by the top ten films in the prior year when the market was open. Entertainment Germany revenue was $87.5 million, 64.5% below the prior year due to the impact of COVID-19. In the first half of the financial year, cinemas re-opened, and nationwide box office recovered to only 53% down on prior year for the month of September 2020, a strong result given the absence of major blockbuster releases as outlined above for Australia and New Zealand. However, because of the German government directive to close cinemas in response to a second wave of COVID-19 in Europe, all cinemas were closed in November 2020 through to the end of June 2021. The Entertainment Germany division reopened on 1 July 2021. Given the extended lockdown period in Germany, the Group has mitigated some of the financial impact with active cost management initiatives and has continued to pursue available German government subsidies and support for our German personnel and operations. The German government has implemented a damage compensation program for affected businesses for the November and December 2020 lockdown period, and a subsidy program for the January to June 2021 period referred to as Bridging Aid III. Applications for Bridging Aid III subsidies are currently being prepared and assessed. Applications for the German government’s November and December 2020 damage compensation program have been lodged with a total value of €27.5 million received to date. The active cost mitigation plans implemented by the Group resulted in a total of $64.6 million of savings during the year, including the benefit of rent abatements, and excluding the government support outlined above. Including the benefit of German government support and subsidies, and rent abatements finalised with landlords, normalised EBITDA was a loss of $33.6 million and normalised PBIT was a loss of $42.6 million. Initial trading results have been encouraging notwithstanding various capacity restrictions applicable across the various German states. “3G” rules, referring to the German words geimpft (vaccinated), getestet (tested) and genesen (recovered), apply in certain regions and require that customers admitted to a cinema provide evidence that they are vaccinated, have a recent negative COVID- 19 test, or have recovered from COVID-19. The sale of CineStar to Vue International Bidco plc was prohibited by the German Federal Cartel Office (FCO) in December 2020 as a result of Vue’s failure to satisfy the FCO’s condition for the transaction. The Group continues to consider all of its legal options in relation to Vue’s breach of the sale and purchase agreement. 15 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report Hotels and Resorts As at 30 June Locations * Rooms * Locations (owned) Rooms (owned) D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T 2021 70 11,071 25 3,705 2020 Movement 66 10,366 26 3,805 4 705 (1) (100) * Owned, managed and other hotels with which the Group has a branding, license or affiliate agreement. Notwithstanding the impact of Government restrictions and lockdowns, which impacted a total of 205 trading days in Australia and New Zealand, overall Hotels and Resorts revenue was $202.7 million, a decrease of only 27.0% on the prior comparable period, reflecting the Group’s strong market share in a limited market. Earnings momentum gathered pace throughout the year with trends improving significantly in the second half. All key metrics showed steady quarter on quarter growth throughout the year, with occupancy reaching 63.1% in the fourth quarter. This was despite trading disruption caused by the measures initiated by all Australian State and Territory governments to contain a spike in COVID cases in late May and June. Occupancy in the Group’s owned hotels was 51.7% with a revenue per available room (revpar) of $88, down on the prior comparable period by 14.1 percentage points and $32 respectively. Both measures surged in the second half of the year supported by resilient domestic leisure demand and the early stages of corporate travel recovery with peak weekly occupancy by brand for Rydges (68.6%), QT (80.2%) and Atura (83.9%), all achieved in April 2021. Business transformation initiatives conducted in the early stages of the pandemic, combined with improving revenues and good market share is paving the path to an earnings recovery when current lockdowns and restrictions are eased. Active cost management savings of $30.3 million were achieved, and from September 2020 the division was EBITDA positive (excluding government wage subsidies) in every month of the financial year. The fourth quarter EBITDA was the highest quarterly result of the year despite being impacted by regional lockdowns in Australia in May and June 2021. The Group continued to participate in government hotel quarantine programs in Australian and New Zealand. Revenue from quarantine business at the Group’s owned hotels Rydges Rotorua and QT Gold Coast comprised 6.2% of revenue for the year. EBITDA of $33.4 million declined over the prior comparable period by $27.6 million or 45.2% and normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $6.0 million, a decrease of $26.6 million or 81.7% below the prior year. At a brand level, Rydges, QT and Atura remain well positioned and are poised to benefit as pent-up demand underpins a market recovery. In the latter months of the year, RevPAR across the Atura portfolio exceeded the comparable pre pandemic 2019 results. Prior to the May and June lockdowns, QT Hotels were also approaching pre pandemic RevPAR levels, with peak weekly occupancy of 80.2% achieved in April 2021. Rydges Hotels performed well relative to their respective market locations, however the pace of recovery is impeded by the bulk of the portfolio being located in Sydney and Melbourne, the two Australian locations most impacted by the pandemic. Investment in customer experience technology has been a key priority. A new state of the art central reservations and distribution platform is under development. Due for completion in the year ahead, the system is designed to enhance market share and speed network growth. Several other technological innovations to enhance the guest digital experience are at an advanced stage of development including a mobile app with digital check-in and digital guest menus. During the year, the Group launched a pivotal new strategic growth brand ‘The Independent Collection by Event’. The new brand recognises the opportunity to maximise the Group’s local market leading expertise across all hotel categories and meet the emerging needs of independent hotel owners. The Independent Collection portfolio will grow to 13 hotels during the year ending 30 June 2022. Six existing hotels transitioned into the Independent Collection portfolio during the year and three hotels were added including the Tank Stream Sydney, the Oval Hotel Adelaide and the Yarra Valley Lodge. Agreements were signed for a further four properties to join the portfolio in the 2022 financial year including The Terrace Adelaide (July 2021), The Kennigo Brisbane (July 2021), Hotel Motel Adelaide (October 2021) and The Chifley Adelaide (early 2022). QT brand expansion continued with QT Auckland taking the total number of QT hotels to 10, with management agreements signed for QT Newcastle (opening 2022) and QT Parramatta (opening 2024). Three new Rydges management agreements were signed for Rydges Gold Coast Airport (October 2020), Rydges Formosa Resort (December 2020), Rydges Port Adelaide (opening 2023), whilst the Atura brand continues to expand with the conversion of a 108-room Atura Hotel (formerly the Thorndon) completed (February 2021), and a management agreement executed for a new Atura Hotel to be developed in Oran Park Sydney (opening 2023). 16 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The Group acquired a 100% interest in the Jucy Snooze budget accommodation business in April 2021. Jucy Snooze currently has two locations, in Queenstown and Christchurch, with a new flagship property in Auckland due to open in the first half of the 2022 calendar year. As part of the strategy to divest underperforming assets, The Reef Plaza Cairns (formerly Rydges Plaza) was sold and the Rydges on Swanston management agreement was terminated in the second quarter of the financial year. Over the next year, divestment of two hotels not located in key city locations, Rydges Bankstown and Rydges North Sydney, are planned. The priority upgrade properties include Rydges Melbourne and QT Gold Coast. At this stage, Rydges Melbourne is planned to close for the 2022 calendar year to complete this project. Both upgrade projects have identified underutilised real estate to unlock new revenue opportunities. Thredbo Alpine Resort The full year result for Thredbo reflects the continued success of the new business model generating a strong return from the 2020 snow season despite material COVID-19 capacity restrictions and less than favourable snow conditions. In addition, the 2020-21 summer mountain biking and hiking season resulted in record visitation and mountain biking revenue, despite continuing COVID-19 restrictions resulting in the cancellation of all larger summer events, with a positive EBITDA and PBIT delivered for the peak summer period (December to April) for the first time. A new strategic direction was developed that focussed on an improved customer experience to protect revenue and grow profitability. The strong response by management in developing industry leading COVID-19 practices and defining a new operating model enabled Thredbo to operate successfully throughout the year. Customer sentiment remained high with an improved NPS score. COVID-19 related government mandated restrictions resulted in a delayed start to the 2020 snow season. Furthermore, capacity restrictions were imposed that permitted only up to 50% of pre-COVID capacity, and skier days for the year were down 38.7% on the prior year. The new operating model implemented by the Group in response was essential, and the effective new product strategies offset the impact of reduced visitation with a 66.2% improvement in yield. Revenue from summer operations continued the growth trend with an increase in visitation of 23% compared to the 2018-19 summer, with the 2019-20 summer having been severely impacted by bushfires and COVID-19. The summer performance underpinned a record setting second half result. EBITDA for the full year was $29,775,000, 19.7% above the prior comparable full year, and the normalised profit before income tax expense was $25,124,000, 19.9% above the prior comparable full year result. This was an incredible result in the context of the COVID-19 capacity restrictions outlined above. Strong progress continues to be made with Thredbo’s strategic growth plan. Merritts Gondola was completed ahead of the 2020 winter season, whilst planning is underway for a major upgrade of Merritts Mountain House. A new mountain biking skills park was added during the year, taking total mountain biking trails to eight. A new trail, Sidewinder, will open for the 2021-22 summer and will be Thredbo’s easiest beginner trail. A further four more trails in the Cruiser area are planned for the next two years, and a proposed Alpine Coaster installation is expected to add a further year-round attraction. Major improvements to the snowmaking pipeline were completed prior to the 2021 winter season, and preparatory work has commenced for the replacement of the two- seater Snowgums chairlift with a new six-seater chairlift. Property and Other Investments The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $14,003,000, $7,694,000 or 120.4% above the prior year. The result included a fair value increment of $6,950,000 compared to a $1,657,000 decrement in the prior year. Rental revenue was below the prior year due to COVID-19 related rent relief provided to tenants and, in addition, the normalised result includes a provision for rental income receivable that is not expected to be recovered from tenants impacted by COVID-19. The Group’s property portfolio is independently valued on a three-year cycle and updated valuations were obtained at 30 June 2021. The overall independent value of the Group’s property portfolio increased to $2,057.4 million, up from $2,027.7 million at 30 June 2020, notwithstanding $79.6 million in non-core property sales. Excluding the properties sold during the year ended 30 June 2021, the overall portfolio value increased 4.2%. The non-core property sales were achieved at an average of 60% above previous valuations. Overall, the Group is on track to achieve the goal of realising proceeds of $250 million in non-core asset sales within two years. 17 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Excluding Rydges Melbourne and Rydges Queenstown the portfolio valuations were up 7.8%. Rydges Melbourne is a priority asset with a major upgrade programme in development and subject to cost assessments, planned to take 12 months to complete commencing early 2022. The Rydges Queenstown accommodation wings were closed in February 2019 and work is underway to determine options for seismic strengthening. The Group has continued to make strong progress with the two major development projects at 525 George Street and 458-472 George Street, Sydney. A Stage One Development Application has been approved for the proposed 525 George Street, Sydney development for a mixed use development of up to 43 storeys to include a podium with ground floor retail space on George Street (810m2), a five screen cinema complex, and a tower including a new hotel with 335 rooms, conference centre, 109 residential apartments and 165 car parking spaces. Subject to market conditions, construction is targeted to commence in the 2023/24 financial year with completion in the 2026/27 financial year. In November 2020 the City of Sydney approved the Development Application for the podium component of the proposed 458-472 George Street, Sydney development. This will include ground floor retail space (340m2) on George Street, an extension of the QT Sydney hotel with 72 additional rooms and conference centre and QT rooftop bar. A second Development Application will be lodged for a commercial officer tower above the podium with 33 levels and approximately 34,000m2 of commercial office space. Subject to market conditions, construction is targeted to commence in the 2025/26 financial year. It is anticipated that a joint venture partner will be identified to assist in funding and developing the commercial office tower component. The Group expects the value of the 458-472 George Street and 525 George Street properties to grow as Development Applications are approved for the proposed developments, with $37 million added to the 525 George Street independent valuation following the approval of the Stage One Development Application. Good progress has been made with the strategy announced in February 2021 to divest non-core property assets, realising $79.6 million of gross proceeds (before selling costs and tax). Gross proceeds of $49.3 million were settled during the year and $30.3 million is to settle before September 2021. The total gross proceeds exceeded most recent valuations by $29.8 million, a 60% increase. The assets sold were the Forum Building in Brisbane (retail and commercial office), Double Bay (commercial and service office), 201-203 Port Hacking Road Miranda (warehouse and light industrial), Rydges Plaza Cairns Hotel, Cairns City Cinema (cinema operations ceased in 2019) and Mt Maunganui Cinemas (cinema operations ceased in 2020). Further non–core properties have been identified and are being prepared for sale in FY22, with additional non-core properties being contemplated for potential sale in FY23. Unallocated revenues and expenses The unallocated revenues and expenses, which include the Group’s corporate functions and various head office expenses, were 12.6% below the prior year. The favourable variance was driven by cost reduction measures, including measures taken in response to COVID-19, voluntary CEO and executive salary reductions and Director fee reductions in response to COVID-19. No short-term incentive awards were paid during the year and long-term incentives did not vest. The Group has also absorbed a material increase in insurance premiums of approximately $2,013,000. BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE FINANCIAL YEARS COVID-19 government mandated restrictions have had a material impact on the Group’s operating divisions. Further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Group in the year ended 30 June 2021 is set out above in the Operating and Financial Review. Safety and wellbeing remain the Group’s highest priority. Detailed COVID-19 safety plans and staff training programs have been developed for each of the Group’s operating divisions. In addition, to ensure these plans are consistent with best practice in Australia, advice was also sought and implemented from infectious disease experts. The Group’s strategic plan remains unchanged but the timing will depend on the ongoing impact of COVID-19 in addition to other industry, economic and political conditions, the potential impact of global events, the future financial performance and available capital, the competitive environment, evolving customer needs and trends, and the availability of attractive opportunities. Strategies to achieve the Group’s objectives will continue to evolve and change in response to these and other factors. Further commentary regarding business strategies and prospects for future financial years is set out below. 18 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T MAXIMISING ASSETS – PROPERTY The Group has a property portfolio including land and buildings, integral plant and equipment and long term leasehold land and improvements with a fair value of $2.1 billion (see Note 3.3 to the financial statements). The Group will pursue the following strategies in relation to the property portfolio: • • investing in the development of priority operating assets that generate a reasonable return; optimising the potential future development of the properties located at 458-472 George Street, Sydney and 525 George Street, Sydney and identifying other potential future developments of the Group’s freehold properties; divesting non-core properties to realise total proceeds before tax of $250 million within two years, with $79.6 million realised to date; • • managing and maximising rental income associated with the Group’s investment properties; • • divesting under-performing assets; and subject to available capital, considering opportunities to acquire assets that generate positive earnings and compliment the Group’s portfolio. Industry developments and risk factors The independently-determined fair value of the Group’s property portfolio may rise or fall according to a number of factors outside of the Group’s control such as changes in applicable property market conditions, including as a result of COVID-19. The Group’s property portfolio includes property in zones of earthquake risk in New Zealand. A catastrophic incident affecting a Group property could have a material adverse impact on the Group’s earnings as a result of catastrophic damage and loss of future profits. ENTERTAINMENT Whilst the Group has no control over the supply and general audience appeal of available films, providing consumers with a demonstrably superior experience in the cinema to that which can be achieved in the home is a central strategic platform. To achieve this, the Group will pursue the following strategies: • • • • • • • • continuing to develop the ‘Cinemas of the Future’ model to deliver a greater return from assets; investing in the best locations, and reviewing options for under-performing locations including potential divestment; implementing new pricing strategies; developing new food and beverage concepts; growing and enhancing the quality and value of the group’s leading customer data position; identifying other sources of entertainment income and growing alternative content; leveraging technology to increase efficiency through automation; applying an agile approach with continual financial and operations scenario planning to respond to changing COVID-19 government-mandated restrictions; and implementing and enhancing COVID-19 practices to provide a safe environment for employees and customers. • Industry developments and risk factors The Group believes that there are certain current issues pertaining to the industry, including in respect of COVID-19, that have the capacity to impact the strategic plans and future direction of the cinema operations. The Group will continue to monitor developments in relation to the following issues: • • disruption to global release dates of major film titles as a result of COVID-19; alternative film delivery methods and the rise in popularity of other forms of entertainment (including over-the-top (“OTT”) internet content, subscription-based streaming services and video on demand (“VOD”)); further shortening of the release window of film to other formats such as OTT and VOD; increase in unauthorised recording (piracy) of visual recordings for commercial sale and distribution via the internet; increase in competition including in relation to pricing; international media industry consolidation which may reduce the number of distributors of Hollywood film titles; changes in operating expenses including employee expenses and energy costs; and impact of weather on cinema attendance. • • • • • • 19 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T HOTELS AND RESORTS The Group will work to leverage the advantage of being Australasian based in the short-term as the market pivots heavily toward domestic demand drivers due to COVID-19 and the long term recognising the trend of international travellers seeking authentic local experiences. A continued focus on the expansion of a strong hotel portfolio covering all key market segments, with the lifestyle brands QT and Atura, mid-market brand Rydges Hotels, budget brand Jucy Snooze and the multi segment Independent Collection by Event, maintaining the flexibility for unique locally branded hotels to join the portfolio. To provide this, the Group will continue to pursue the following strategies: • • continual improvement of brands and customer experiences to improve customer sentiment; investing in upgrades of key properties and redevelopment of existing properties after capital expenditure restraints imposed in response to COVID-19 have been relaxed; leveraging and monetising capabilities by adding new rooms to the Group’s portfolio through innovative commercial structures; enhancing sales practices and product innovation to adapt and secure new and emerging market opportunities; enhancing the Priority Guest Rewards loyalty program as a competitive advantage in Australia and New Zealand markets; improving and innovating food and beverage offerings; leveraging technology to increase customer engagement and operational efficiency; applying an agile approach with continual financial and operations scenario planning to respond to changing COVID-19 government-mandated restrictions; implementing and enhancing COVID-19 practices to provide a safe environment for employees and customers; and developing talent locally and maintaining a strong culture of retention of key talent. • • • • • • • • Industry developments and risk factors The Group believes that there are certain current issues pertaining to the industry that have the capacity to impact the strategic plans and future direction of the hotel operations. The Group will continue to monitor developments in relation to the following issues: • • • • • disruption to corporate and international inbound travel as a result of COVID-19; new hotel supply in key markets increasing competition for the Group’s hotels in those markets; competition for the distribution of rooms from online travel agents; growth and market penetration of alternative accommodation providers; and staffing and skills shortages due to international border closures and a strong local job market. • • • THREDBO ALPINE RESORT The key strategy for the Thredbo Alpine Resort is to grow by enhancing the on-mountain experience and increasing capacity (subject to COVID-19), securing Thredbo Alpine Resort’s position as one of the premier Australian holiday destinations. This strategy includes: • continuing to ensure the popularity, high quality and ambience of the winter-time resort facility with continued upgrading of resort infrastructure; innovating with new experiences, products and associated pricing strategies to continue to be market leaders; continuing to improve snowmaking capability to mitigate risk in poor snow seasons; increasing the number and quality of events and year round attractions to increase visitation outside of the snow season, subject to COVID-19 constraints; expanding the mountain bike trail network to appeal to a broader range of riders; introducing new year-round experiences such as the proposed Alpine Coaster; ensuring that the environmental integrity of the Resort is maintained and, where possible, improved. realising underutilised property and bed rights; applying an agile approach with continual financial and operations scenario planning to respond to changing COVID-19 government-mandated restrictions; implementing and enhancing COVID-19 practices to provide a safe environment for employees and customers; and developing local snow sports instructor talent to compensate for a reduced talent pool and the restrictions of the internal border closures. • • • • • • • 20 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Industry developments and risk factors The Group believes that there are certain current issues pertaining to the industry that have the capacity to impact the strategic plans and future direction of Thredbo’s operations. The Group will continue to monitor developments in relation to the following issues: • COVID-19 related capacity and travel constraints; • • • reliance on natural snowfall, which is partially mitigated by the Group’s snowmaking capability; changes in operating expenses including employee expenses and energy costs; and short and long-term climate-related physical, regulatory and transition risks. Further information regarding the Group’s response to climate change is available in section 7.4 of the 2021 Corporate Governance Statement. DIVIDENDS To assist the Group’s liquidity during the COVID-19 recovery period, no dividend has been declared in respect of the year ended 30 June 2021. Future dividend payments will be subject to Board consideration and approval having regard to all relevant circumstances including lender gearing requirements and the Group’s trading performance. Dependent upon more stabilised prevailing trading conditions, the Board desires to resume dividend payments from the 2022 calendar year. REMUNERATION REPORT The Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors’ Report, is set out on pages 24 to 34 and has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE Lockdowns occurring within certain geographic areas of Australia A number of the Group’s sites are currently closed or significantly impacted due to the COVID-19 lockdowns within certain geographic locations within Australia and New Zealand. The duration of the lockdowns are dependent upon the various governments relaxing the lockdown and travel restrictions. The general expectation is that the lockdowns will continue, or continue to reoccur, until the COVID-19 vaccination rates of the general population meet or exceed the appropriate levels expected by the various government authorities. It is expected that the relaxation of the restrictions could start to occur within the last quarter of calendar 2021. Reopening of the German Cinema operations and German government support The Group re-opened the German Cinema operations on 1 July 2021 following an eight-month closure period. The German government has implemented a damage compensation program for affected businesses for the November and December 2020 lockdown period, and a subsidy program (Bridging Aid III) for the January to June 2021 period. The Group lodged applications for the November and December 2020 damage compensation program and recognised €27.5 million within the results for the year ended 30 June 2021. The proceeds were received in July and August 2021. The Group expects to lodge applications for Bridging Aid III support payments in September 2021. Sale of a number of group properties A number of freehold assets that were considered non-core to the business operations of the Group were sold during the during the year, with gross proceeds totalling $79.65 million. Further additional non-core properties have been identified for potential sale and the Group has commenced a number of expression of interest campaigns for the sale of certain freehold assets. The Group is on track to achieve $250 million of proceeds from non-core assets within two years. Dividends On 23 August 2021, the directors resolved that no final dividend be declared for the year ended 30 June 2021. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS Likely developments in the operations of the Group are referred to in the Review of Operations by Division, set out within this report. 21 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS The relevant interest of each director of the Company in share capital of the Company, as notified by the directors to the ASX in accordance with section 205G(1) of the Corporations Act 2001, at the date of this report is as follows: Director AG Rydge PR Coates VA Davies DC Grant JM Hastings PM Mann RG Newton Ordinary shares held directly 4,431,663 − − 7,500 12,000 − − Ordinary shares held by companies in which a director has a beneficial interest(a) 68,948,033 46,960 14,000 − − 7,000 66,000 Performance shares held directly − − − − − − − Performance rights held directly − − − − 361,830 − − (a) Relevant interest under the Corporations Act 2001 differs from the disclosure required under Australian Accounting Standards as presented in the Remuneration Report.

The KMP for the financial year are set out on page 29. Impact of COVID-19 on remuneration arrangements COVID-19 has continued to have a material impact on the Group’s operating divisions. In response, adjustments were made to director and executive remuneration from 1 April 2020 in response to the impact of COVID-19. These adjustments continued during the year ended 30 June 2021 and included the following: • • • • • • the Group’s CEO, Jane Hastings, voluntarily reduced her pay by $200,000 per annum; the Chairman, Alan Rydge, agreed to waive his fee; the Lead Independent Director, Peter Coates, agreed to a voluntary reduction of 50% and all other directors agreed to a voluntary reduction of 20%; senior executives agreed to voluntary reductions in their salaries of up to 12.5%; a wage freeze (for non-award roles) was implemented; and there were no cash payments under the Short Term Incentive (“STI”) plan in respect of the year ending 30 June 2020, notwithstanding the achievement of certain individual key performance indicators by executives. Whilst the temporary and voluntary remuneration adjustments outlined above concluded on 30 June 2021, the Chairman has volunteered to reduce his fee by $150,000 to $185,000 with effect from 1 July 2021. Remuneration philosophy The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on remuneration policy and packages applicable to the Board members and senior executives. The objective of the remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities, and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, motivating and retaining people of the appropriate quality. Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract appropriately qualified and experienced directors and executives. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee obtains independent advice on the level of remuneration packages. The remuneration packages of the CEO and other senior executives include at-risk components that are linked to the overall financial and operational performance of the Group and based on the achievement of specific goals of the Group. Executives participate in the Group’s Executive Performance Rights Plan. The long term benefits of the Executive Performance Rights Plan are conditional upon the Group achieving certain performance criteria, details of which are outlined below. Further details in relation to the Group’s share plans are provided in Note 6.1 to the financial statements. Remuneration structure In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director remuneration is separate and distinct from senior executive remuneration. Non-executive director remuneration Objective The Group’s remuneration policy for non-executive directors aims to ensure that the Group can attract, retain and appropriately remunerate suitably skilled, experienced and committed individuals to serve on the Board and its committees. Structure The Company’s constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 22 October 2010 when shareholders approved a maximum aggregate remuneration of $1,500,000 per year. Non-executive directors do not receive any performance related remuneration nor are they issued shares or performance rights. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned among directors are reviewed annually. The Board considers the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Each director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. A committee fee is also paid for being a member of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The payment of the committee fee recognises the additional time commitment required by directors who serve on those committees. Other Board committees may be established from time to time to deal with issues associated with the conduct of the Group’s various activities, and directors serving on such committees 24 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T may receive an additional fee in recognition of this additional commitment. With effect from 1 July 2021, an additional fee is paid to the Lead Independent Director in recognition of the additional responsibilities associated with that role. As noted above, with effect from 1 April 2020, each director volunteered a reduction in directors’ fees for 15 months due to the impact of COVID-19 on the Group. In addition, the Chairman has agreed a reduction in his fee of $150,000 to $185,000 with effect from 1 July 2021. The Board approved non-executive director fees (excluding voluntary reductions) were as follows: Chairman (including committee fee entitlements) Other non-executive directors Base fee entitlement Lead Independent Director fee entitlement(a) Audit and Risk Committee Chairman – Audit and Risk Committee Nomination and Remuneration Committee Chairman – Nomination and Remuneration Committee 2022 $ 2021 $ 185,000 335,000 137,000 14,000 14,000 13,000 7,000 6,000 137,000 14,000 14,000 13,000 7,000 6,000 (a) In June 2021, the Board approved an additional annual entitlement of $14,000 for the Lead Independent Director, PR Coates, with effect from 1 July 2020. The additional fee entitlement reflects the additional responsibilities and contribution of the Lead Independent Director including serving on special purpose committees as required from time to time. The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2021 is detailed on page 30. Directors’ fees cover all main Board activities. Non-executive directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable business related expenses, including travel, as may be incurred in the discharge of their duties. CEO and other executive remuneration Objective The Group’s remuneration policy aims to reward the CEO and other executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group, and to: • reward executives for Group, applicable business unit and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks and key performance indicators (“KPIs”); align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. • • • Structure In determining the level and composition of executive remuneration, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages for senior executives, based on remuneration trends in the market, from which recommendations are made to the Board. It is the Group’s policy that employment contracts are entered into with the CEO and other senior executives. Details of these employment contracts are provided on pages 28 and 29. Remuneration consists of both fixed and variable remuneration components. The variable remuneration component includes a short term incentive (“STI”) plan and a long term incentive (“LTI”) plan. The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration (potential STI and LTI) is set and approved for each senior executive by the Board based on recommendations provided by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Fixed annual remuneration Objective Remuneration levels for executives are reviewed annually to ensure that they are appropriate for the responsibilities, qualifications and experience of each executive and are competitive with the market. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee establishes and issues an appropriate guideline for the purpose of the annual review of fixed remuneration levels. The guideline is based on both current and forecast Consumer Price Index, remuneration trends on the market and general market conditions. There are no guaranteed fixed remuneration increases in any executives’ contracts. 25 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Structure Executives have the option to receive their fixed annual remuneration in cash and a limited range of fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and car parking. Fixed annual remuneration includes superannuation and all fringe benefits, including fringe benefits tax. Variable remuneration – STI Objective The objective of the STI plan is to link the achievement of key operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level to provide sufficient incentive to the executive to achieve the operational targets and ensuring that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances. Structure Actual STI payments to each executive are determined based on the extent to which specific operating targets, set at the beginning of the year, are met. The targets consist of a number of KPIs covering both financial and non-financial measures of performance. Typically, KPIs and assessment criteria include predetermined growth in Group and divisional earnings over the prior year, and other strategic and operational objectives. A work, health and safety gateway applies to the STI plan and executives will only be eligible for a payment under the plan if the requirements of the gateway have been satisfied. A financial gateway also applies to the STI plan, whereby the Group’s financial position at the time of assessment must be such that, in the Board’s opinion, the delivery of STI awards is prudent and appropriate based on the circumstances at that time. The Group has predetermined benchmarks which must be met in order to trigger payments under the STI. The benchmarks were chosen to directly align the executive’s STI to the KPIs of the Group and to its strategies and performance. On an annual basis, an earnings performance rating for the Group and each division is assessed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board. The individual performance of each executive is also assessed and rated and the ratings are taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the STI to be allocated to each executive. The aggregate of annual STI payments available for executives across the Group is subject to review by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and approval by the Board. STI payments are delivered as a cash bonus. For the CEO and other executive KMP, the general target bonus opportunity range is from 50% to 90% of fixed annual remuneration. The target bonus range for the CEO and other executive KMP is detailed below for the year ended 30 June 2021: Maximum STI calculated on fixed annual remuneration(a) Group earnings Allocated between: Divisional earnings Special projects CEO JM Hastings(b) Other executive KMP GC Dean MR Duff 90% 50% 60% 45% 25% 25% – – – 15% 17% 32% Other KPIs 30% 8% 3% (a) Fixed annual remuneration is comprised of base salary, superannuation and benefits provided through salary sacrificing arrangements. (b) The targets set for the STI of the CEO relate to the Group’s performance, the management of current property developments and other business growth targets. The Board considers the specific targets to be commercially sensitive and further details of these targets have not been disclosed. Bonuses may be paid above these levels at the discretion of the Board, if it is assessed that an exceptional contribution has been made by an executive. There is no separate profit-share plan. Variable remuneration – LTI Objective The objectives of the LTI plan are to: • • • align executive incentives with shareholder interests; balance the short term with the long term Group focus; and retain high calibre executives by providing an attractive equity-based incentive that builds an ownership of the Group mindset. 26 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Structure Executives are awarded performance rights which will only vest on the achievement of certain performance hurdles and service conditions. An offer is generally made under the Executive Performance Rights Plan to executives each financial year and is based on individual performance as assessed by the annual appraisal process. If an executive does not sustain a consistent level of high performance, they will not be nominated for Executive Performance Rights Plan participation. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviews details of executives nominated for participation subject to final Board approval. In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, approval from shareholders is obtained before participation in the Executive Performance Rights Plan commences for the CEO. Only executives who are able to directly influence the long term success of the Group participate in the Executive Performance Rights Plan. Performance rights do not carry the right to vote or to receive dividends during the Performance Period. The performance hurdles for the awards of performance rights to executives in the financial year ended 30 June 2021 are based on EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited’s earnings per share (“EPS”) growth and relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance over the Performance Period of the three years to 30 June 2023, with EPS performance measured against the year ended 30 June 2020 (being the base year). The performance hurdles for the awards of performance rights to executives in the financial year ended 30 June 2021 are as follows: EPS hurdle The EPS hurdle requires that the Group’s EPS growth for the Performance Period must be greater than the target set by the Board. The EPS hurdle was chosen as it provides evidence of the Group’s growth in earnings. The hurdle is as follows: • • if annual compound EPS growth over the Performance Period is less than 4%, no performance rights will vest with the executive; if annual compound EPS growth over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than 4% but less than 6%, the proportion of performance rights vesting will be increased on a pro-rata basis between 50% and 100%; or if annual compound EPS growth over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than 6%, all of the performance rights awarded (and attaching to this hurdle) will vest with the executive. • TSR hurdle The TSR hurdle requires that the Group’s relative TSR performance must be above the median of the Company’s comparator group (“comparator group”). The comparator group is the S&P/ASX 200 (excluding trusts, infrastructure groups and mining companies). TSR is defined as share price growth and dividends paid and reinvested on the ex-dividend date (adjusted for rights, bonus issues and any capital reconstructions) measured from the beginning to the end of the Performance Period. The TSR performance hurdle was chosen as it is widely recognised as one of the best indicators of shareholder value creation. The comparator group for TSR purposes has been chosen as it represents the group with which the Group competes for shareholders’ capital. The hurdle is as follows: • if the Company’s TSR ranking relative to the comparator group over the Performance Period is less than the 51st percentile, no performance rights will vest; if the Company’s TSR ranking relative to the comparator group over the Performance Period is equal to or exceeds the 51st percentile but is less than the 75th percentile, the proportion of performance rights vesting will be increased on a pro-rata basis between 50% and 100%; or if the Company’s TSR ranking relative to the comparator group over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than the 75th percentile, all of the performance rights awarded will vest. • • After the Board has assessed the extent to which the above performance hurdles and criteria have been achieved, executives will be allocated ordinary shares equal to the number of vested performance rights held. The Board has retained the discretion to vary the performance hurdles and criteria. Recognition and Retention Incentive Shareholders approved at the 2020 AGM a Recognition and Retention Incentive for the CEO with a face value totalling $1,550,000. This award was an additional equity-based award designed to recognise the additional effort required from the CEO both during the COVID-19 response period and during the recovery period, and the importance of retaining the CEO during this critical period. Sixty per cent of the grant value vests following the release of the results for the year ended 30 June 2021, and the remainder will vest after the release of the results for the year ended 30 June 2022. The performance rights to be issued in satisfaction of the vested portion of the award will remain restricted until after the release of the results for the year ended 30 June 2023. 27 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T GC Dean and MR Duff were granted Retention and Recognition Incentives on similar terms to the CEO’s award with a face value of $530,000 and $600,000, respectively. Incentives on similar terms have been made to other senior executives under the Recognition and Retention Incentive plan.

Employment contracts typically outline the components of remuneration paid to the CEO and other senior executives but do not prescribe how remuneration levels are to be modified from year to year. Generally, remuneration levels are reviewed each year to take into account Consumer Price Index changes, remuneration trends in the market, any change in the scope of the role performed by the executive and any changes required to meet the principles of the remuneration policy. Termination provisions in the employment contracts with other executive KMP are summarised in the table below: Executive GC Dean MR Duff Termination by the executive The notice period is three months. Termination by the Group Expiry date of contract The notice period is three months. The Group may make a payment in lieu of notice, equal to the notice period. Not applicable, rolling contracts. The Group retains the right to terminate the contract immediately in circumstances of misconduct. There are no other termination payments. Payment of any LTI (or pro-rata thereof) is subject to the rules in operation at the termination date and at the discretion of the Board.

The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2021 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in associates, joint ventures and joint operations. EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited is a for-profit company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares. The shares are publicly traded on the ASX. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in Note 2.2. The financial report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited on 23 August 2021. 1.2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION Statement of compliance The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. Basis of measurement The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the Statement of Financial Position which are measured at fair value: derivative financial instruments, investments designated as at FVOCI, liabilities for cash- settled share-based payments and investment properties. Assets held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount, and fair value less costs to sell. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with the Instrument, amounts in the financial report and Directors’ Report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of a financial report in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, 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. 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 in any future periods if affected. Judgements made by management in the application of AASBs that have a significant effect on the financial report are discussed in Notes 3.3 (Property, plant and equipment) and 3.6 (Goodwill and other intangible assets). Measurement of fair values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non- financial assets and liabilities. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows: • • 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); and Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). • 41 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P A R A T I O N 1.2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued) If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be 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. The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Notes 3.3 (Property, plant and equipment), 3.4 (Investment properties), 3.5 (Assets held for sale) and 4.5 (Financial risk management). Global coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) In March 2020 the World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic in relation to COVID-19. Within the geographic locations where the Group has operations, governments responded to COVID-19 by introducing a number of COVID-19 measures, including restrictions on business activity, societal interaction and travel. The effects of these measures on the Group has been significant and, as a result, COVID-19 has resulted in impacts to key estimates and judgements used in these financial statements, including: • Impairment (see Note 2.3, Note 3.3 and Note 3.6); • Provision for expected credit losses (see Note 3.1); • Revaluations of investment properties (see Note 3.4); and • Valuations of property plant and equipment (see Note 3.3). government-mandated temporary closure of certain cinemas within in Australia, New Zealand and Germany; Going concern basis of accounting COVID-19 continues to have a material impact on the Group’s operational divisions, including: • • Disruption to the film release schedule; • Reduction in hotel visitation due to international and domestic travel restrictions and lock-downs; • Implementation of social distancing, the impact of lockdowns in key feeder markets and other visitation impacts for the Thredbo resort; and • Reduction in rental income as a result of rental stress by tenants and relief provided in accordance with the Mandatory Code of Conduct. The Group has incurred significant and material reductions in revenue and to maintain an appropriate level of current and future liquidity has implemented certain initiatives to ensure the viability of the Group for the current and longer term. The actions have included: • Implementation of operational and corporate cost saving initiatives to ensure that the impact of COVID-19 on earnings was appropriately minimised and managed. The cost saving initiatives included, but were not limited to, a stand down or furlough of employees across the Group, voluntary salary reductions and freeze arrangements and negotiated reductions or deferral of supplier and leasehold payments. Participation in government support initiatives, including JobKeeper in Australia, the Wage Subsidy in New Zealand and the Kurzarbeitergeld and Damage Support program in Germany. Suspension of dividend payments for the year ended 30 June 2021. Future dividend payments will be subject to Board consideration and approval having regard to all relevant circumstances including lender gearing requirements and the Group’s trading performance. • • In addition, the Group has reported a net current asset deficiency of $181.0 million. This deficiency is predominately a consequence of the recognition of current lease liabilities (under AASB 16 Leases) totalling $129.9 million. Current lease and other liabilities are expected to be supported by future operating cash flows and available liquidity from undrawn debt facilities of $217.0 million at 30 June 2021. From a financial and liquidity perspective, and in the context of the continuing and challenging environment highlighted above, COVID-19 budget modelling based on conservative recovery scenarios was undertaken across all of the Group’s businesses. The budget modelling included a number of anticipated outcomes based upon current known circumstances and past COVID-19 business performance. The range of scenarios included a number of variants including lockdown and deferral of recovery overlay contingencies. 42 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P A R A T I O N 1.2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued) The budget modelling, which is based upon currently available information, assumes that there are no future material or significant government mandated mass closure of operations beyond that which has occurred or currently occurring at the date of this report. The Group’s budget modelling included a limited number of asset sales and further German government support initiatives. Whilst there continues to be uncertainty regarding the future COVID-19 impacts, the budget modelling was adopted by the Group as the current and most likely scenario. COVID-19 budget modelling is subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may cause results to differ materially from those expected including, but not limited to, the following: • the duration of the impacts of COVID-19 and related government restrictions and social distancing requirements and the level of customer demand following the relaxation of such requirements; the availability, in terms of both quantity and audience appeal, of the film line-up, as well as other industry dynamics such as the maintenance of a suitable and viable exhibition window; the effects of adverse economic conditions caused by COVID-19; the effects on occupancy and room rates caused by COVID-19 and the effects on occupancy and room rates of the relative industry supply of available rooms at comparable hotels in the market once hotels and resorts fully reopened; the effects of weather, particularly for Thredbo with winter conditions and the availability of snow; and the ability of partners (both from a supply and operational perspective) to continue to operate for the current foreseeable future. • • • • • The Group considers that, whilst COVID-19 will continue to create uncertainty for the short-term prospects for its operating businesses, the current outlook provides sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future. In relation to the Group’s debt arrangements, the Group has received covenant waivers for the 30 June 2021 testing period and an amended testing regime has been implemented for the 31 December 2021 testing period. The Group anticipates it will be able to comply with covenant requirements at future testing dates on and beyond 31 December 2021. On this basis, the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. 43 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P A R A T I O N 1.3 – FOREIGN CURRENCY Functional and presentation currency All amounts are expressed in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency. Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company is Australian dollars. Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the year end date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on retranslation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation that is effective, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. 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 dates of the transactions. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. Financial statements of foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the foreign currency translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of an associate or joint venture whilst retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. Net investment in foreign operations Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and the effective portion of related hedges, are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. They are released to profit or loss as an adjustment to profit or loss on disposal. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. 44 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P A R A T I O N 1.4 – NEW AND AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and were effective for the year ended 30 June 2021. New and revised Standards, amendments thereof, and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Group are: AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business This Standard amends AASB 3 Business Combinations. The Group has adopted the amendments for the first time in the current year. The amendments clarify that while businesses usually have outputs, outputs are not required for an integrated set of activities and assets to qualify as a business. To be considered a business an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The amendments remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs. The amendments also introduce additional guidance that helps to determine whether a substantive process has been acquired. The amendments introduce an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. Under the optional concentration test, the acquired set of activities and assets is not a business if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets. The amendments are applied prospectively to all business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after 1 January 2020. AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material This Standard amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, and makes consequential amendments to several other pronouncements and publications. The Group has adopted these amendments for the first time in the current year. The amendments make the definition of material in AASB 101 easier to understand and are not intended to alter the underlying concept of materiality in Australian Accounting Standards. The concept of 'obscuring' material information with immaterial information has been included as part of the new definition. The threshold for materiality influencing users has been changed from 'could influence' to 'could reasonably be expected to influence'. The definition of material in AASB 108 has been replaced by a reference to the definition of material in AASB 101. In addition, the Standard also amends other Australian Accounting Standards and the Conceptual Framework that contain a definition of 'material' or refer to the term 'material' to ensure consistency. AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to Conceptual Framework The Group has adopted the amendments included in AASB 2019-1 for the first time in the current year. The amendments include consequential amendments to affected Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other pronouncements to reflect the issuance of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) by the AASB. The amendments: • Update numerous pronouncements to refer to the new Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting or to clarify which version of the Framework is being referenced. These amendments apply to for-profit private sector entities that have public accountability and are required by legislation to comply with Australian Accounting Standards and other for- profit entities that voluntarily elect to apply the new Conceptual Framework; and Permit other entities to continue using the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements adopted by the AASB in 2004. • This Standard makes amendments to AASB 1054 Additional Australian Disclosures by adding a disclosure requirement for an entity intending to comply with IFRS Standards to disclose the information specified in paragraphs 30 and 31 of AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors on the potential effect of an IFRS Standard that has not yet been issued by the AASB. The Group has adopted these amendments for the first time in the current year. 45 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P A R A T I O N 1.4 – NEW AND AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP (continued) AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform The amendments in AASB 2019-3 modify specific hedge accounting requirements to allow hedge accounting to continue for affected hedges during the period of uncertainty before the hedged items or hedging instruments affected by the current interest rate benchmarks are amended as a result of the on- going interest rate benchmark reforms. The amending standard does not materially impact the Group. AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS Standards Not Yet Issued in Australia This Standard makes amendments to AASB 1054 Additional Australian Disclosures by adding a disclosure requirement for an entity intending to comply with IFRS Standards to disclose the information specified in paragraphs 30 and 31 of AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and the potential effect of an IFRS Standard that has not yet been issued by the AASB. The Group has adopted these amendments for the first time in the current year. AASB 2020-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – C0VID-19 Related Rent Concessions The amendments introduce a practical expedient into AASB 16. The practical expedient permits a lessee to elect not to assess whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election does account for any change in lease payments resulting from the COVID-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change applying AASB 16 if the change were not a lease modification. The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of COVID-19 and only if all of the following conditions are met: • The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change • Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021 • There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The Group has applied the practical expedient to all rent concessions that meet the conditions in AASB 16.46B. The Group has benefited from abatement of lease payments relating to cinema and hotel premises during the year. The abatement of lease payments has been accounted for as a negative variable lease payment in the profit or loss. The Group has derecognised the part of the lease liability that has been extinguished by the forgiveness of lease payments, consistent with the requirements of paragraph 3.3.1 of AASB 9 Financial Instruments. New and revised Standards issued but not yet effective There are no other new or amended standards that are issued but not yet effective that are expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group in future periods. 46 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P A R A T I O N 1.5 – RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Restatement of comparatives The Group has applied various changes to accounting policies, which has impacted both the opening position of its financial statements and the performance and position of previous reporting periods. The details of the accounting policy adjustments have been outlined below: Adjustment 1 Reclassification of discontinued operations to continuing operations In December 2020, the Group announced that the sale of the Entertainment Germany segment as notified to the Federal Cartel Office (“FCO”) had been deemed a prohibited transaction due to Vue’s deliberate failure to satisfy the FCO conditions. As a result, the Group has reclassified and reported the Entertainment – Germany segment as a continuing operation. The retrospective restatement adjustment is applicable for financial statements issued for all reporting periods since October 2018. Adjustment 2 Reinstatement of amortisation, depreciation and impairment charges for the Entertainment – Germany segment Amortisation, depreciation and impairment charges relating to the Entertainment – Germany segment ceased in October 2018 when the segment was classified as an asset held-for sale. As a result of the FCO’s determination (see Adjustment 1) the Group has reclassified and reported the Entertainment – Germany segment as a continuing operation, with a retrospective restatement relating to amortisation, depreciation and impairments. Adjustment 3 AASB 16 amortisation and depreciation charges for Entertainment Germany The retrospective restatement adjustment is applicable for financial statements issued for all reporting periods since October 2018. Amortisation and depreciation charges relating to the Entertainment – Germany segment ceased in October 2018 when the segment was classified as an asset held-for sale. As a result of the FCO’s determination (see Adjustment 1) the Group has reclassified and reported the Entertainment – Germany segment as a continuing operation, with a retrospective restatement relating to AASB 16 Leases amortisation and depreciation applied retrospectively from 1 July 2019, being the Group’s initial application date for AASB 16. The retrospective restatement adjustment is applicable for the financial statements issued for the reporting periods ended 31 December 2019 and 30 June 2020. 47 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment

German Cinema operation to Vue International Bidco plc (“Vue”), subject to Federal Cartel Office (“FCO”) approval, was announced. As a result of the proposed sale, the Entertainment Germany result was reported as a discontinued operation for all reporting periods from December 2018 through to June 2020. Key steps and dates in relation to the proposed sale have been set out below: • The Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) for the sale was signed in October 2018. The upfront payment required on completion was €130 million with a further variable consideration component that was subject to market performance conditions. The sale was not subject to financing and the SPA excluded all force majeure and material adverse event clauses. The SPA also obligated Vue to obtain FCO clearance and to satisfy all conditions required in relation to FCO clearance; • On 18 February 2020, Vue confirmed that a variable consideration component of €56.9 million had been achieved; • The FCO granted conditional approval for the sale on 28 February 2020. The conditional approval was subject to the divestment of six sites within a six-month period. The designated divestment sites included five of the CineStar sites and one CineMaXx (Vue) site. Divestment of one CineStar site was completed in October 2020; • On 21 August 2020, at the request of Vue, the FCO extended the divestment deadline to 13 November 2020; • On 12 October 2020, Vue unilaterally paused the divestment process in order to renegotiate the terms of the Transaction with the Group. At the time of the pause, the divestment process was well advanced and there were three shortlisted purchasers, which had all received in-principle approval from the FCO as suitable purchasers subject to final FCO review and approval of the transaction documents; • On 6 November 2020, at the request of Vue, the FCO further extended the divestment deadline to 14 December 2020; and • On 15 December 2020, the Group announced that in its view, Vue was in a position to complete the divestment process but deliberately failed to meet its contractual obligations. As a result, the sale of the Entertainment Germany segment, as notified to the FCO, was a prohibited transaction due to the failure to satisfy the FCO conditions.

component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, including revenues and expenses from transactions with other Group segments. All segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to a segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment, before individually significant items, as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate head office assets, head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities. Additions to non-current segment assets are the total cost incurred during the period to acquire assets that include amounts expected to be recovered over more than 12 months after the year end date. Amounts include property, plant and equipment, but exclude financial instruments and deferred tax assets. Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s reporting segments. These are the Group’s main strategic business segments and have differing risks and rewards associated with the business due to their different product or service and geographic markets. For each of these operating segments, the Group’s CEO regularly reviews internal management reports. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax as included in the internal management reports. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of segments relative to those of other businesses. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items mainly comprise interest bearing loans and borrowings and borrowing costs, interest income and corporate head office assets and expenses.

tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The Company and its Australian wholly-owned subsidiaries are part of a tax consolidated group. As a consequence, all members of the tax consolidated group are taxed as a single entity. EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited is the head entity within the tax consolidated group. Deferred tax Deferred tax arises due to certain temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and those for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: o o taxable temporary differences on the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit other than in a business combination; and o differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are disclosed net to the extent that they relate to taxes levied by the same authority and the Group has the right of set off. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to utilise the temporary difference. The Group has unrecognised deferred tax assets in respect of certain foreign tax revenue losses as disclosed on page 63. The utilisation of the tax revenue losses is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable profits within the applicable foreign tax entities and a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is supported by sufficient forecast taxable profits. Assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable profits relevant to those foreign tax entities have been based upon management’s budget estimates and forecasts. Management considers that the forecast of taxable profits for the applicable foreign tax entities is subject to risk and uncertainty; hence, the Group has not recognised all of the losses as a deferred tax asset. 62 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 2 – P E R F O R M A N C E F O R T H E Y E A R 2.4 – TAXATION (continued) Income tax credit/(expense) The major components of income tax credit/(expense) are: Current income tax Current income tax credit/(expense) Income tax adjustment from the prior year Deferred income tax Relating to origination and reversal of temporary differences Income tax credit reported in the Income Statement Income tax (expense)/ credit reported in equity Reconciliation between income tax expense and pre-tax loss Accounting loss before income tax expense Prima facie income tax credit at the income tax rate of 30% (2020: 30%) Increase in income tax expense due to: Impairment write-down Non-deductible items and losses Gain/(loss) on disposal of non-depreciable properties Restatement of depreciation relating to New Zealand assets Other Income tax (under)/over provided in the prior year Total income tax credit Unrecognised deferred tax assets Revenue losses – foreign 2021 $’000 Restated 2020 $’000 30,125 (757) (14,376) 14,992 (1,135) (579) 47 11,987 11,455 28,609 (63,028) (68,442) 18,908 – (11,950) 3,049 9,057 (3,315) (757) 14,992 20,533 (3,583) (6,043) 3,173 – (2,672) 47 11,455 20,339 7,696 Included in the deferred tax assets not recognised is the gross value of corporate tax and trade tax losses arising in Germany of $67,797,000 (2020: $25,654,000). The availability of these tax losses is subject to certain utilisation limits and ongoing availability tests under German tax law. At 30 June 2021, there was no recognised deferred income tax liability (2020: $nil) for taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of certain of the Group’s subsidiaries, associates or incorporated joint ventures. 63 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 2 – P E R F O R M A N C E F O R T H E Y E A R 2.4 – TAXATION (continued) Deferred tax liabilities comprise: Right-of-use assets Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets Accrued revenue Sundry items Less: offsetting deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets comprise: Lease liabilities Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets Share of joint venture entity timing differences Provisions and accrued employee benefits Deferred revenue Tax losses Sundry items Less: offsetting deferred tax liabilities Statement of Financial Position Income Statement 2021 $’000 265,047 39,487 4,651 2,269 311,454 (311,454) – 295,798 3,117 17,007 13,451 5,420 12,734 3,203 350,730 (311,454) 39,276 Restated 2020 $’000 270,544 38,561 7,265 1,314 317,684 (308,590) 9,094 280,666 10,905 14,322 12,360 10,263 12,678 30,506 371,700 (308,590) 63,110 2021 $’000 5,497 (7,037) 2,524 (960) Restated 2020 $’000 1,040 (15,243) 2,779 (13) 15,132 (1,640) 2,685 1,024 (4,952) 387 (27,036) 14,597 (5,395) (2,762) (1,875) (1,313) (6,703) 2,901 Deferred tax credit/(expense) (14,376) 11,987 64 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 2 – P E R F O R M A N C E F O R T H E Y E A R 2.5 – EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the (loss)/profit attributable to members of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company.

Liabilities relating to the Group’s financing activities are addressed in section 4. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown in Note 2.5. On the following pages, there are sections covering working capital balances, property, plant and equipment, investment properties, intangible assets and provisions. 3.1 – TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value, and subsequently at the amounts considered recoverable (amortised cost). Where the payment terms for the sale of an asset are deferred, the receivable is discounted using the prevailing rate for a similar instrument of an issuer with similar credit terms. The unwinding of the discount is treated as finance revenue. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 to 90 day terms. The Group’s exposure to credit and foreign exchange risks related to trade and other receivables is disclosed in Note 4.5. Estimates are used in determining the level of receivables that will not be collected, and these estimates take into account factors such as historical experience. Allowances are made for impairment losses when there is sufficient evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. These allowances are made until such time that the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible; at that point, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against the asset directly. The carrying value of trade and other receivables is considered to approximate fair value. Receivables are stated with the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”) or equivalent tax included. Current Trade receivables Less: allowance for trade receivables Other receivables Non-current Other receivables Receivable from associates 2021 $’000 13,324 (1,354) 11,970 86,830 98,800 672 – 672 Restated 2020 $’000 17,420 (2,370) 15,050 40,973 56,023 500 43 543 As at 30 June 2021, trade receivables with a value of $1,354,000 (2020: $2,278,000) were impaired and fully provided for. The movement in the allowance for trade receivables has been included in other expenses within the income statement. The Group has assessed its expected potential credit losses on an individual trade receivable basis and has applied judgement using management experience and customer interactions. As at 30 June 2021, trade receivables for the Group that were past due but not impaired were $2,531,000 (2020: $1,990,000), of which $1,361,000 (2020: $551,000) was less than 30 days overdue. The remainder is not considered material and consequently an ageing analysis has not been provided. Current other receivables of $86,830,000 (2020: $40,973,000) do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history of these other receivables, it is expected that these amounts will be recovered when due. 66 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.2 – INVENTORIES Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Work in progress is valued at cost. Cost is based on the first-in-first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in bringing inventories to their existing condition and location. 3.3 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are the physical assets used by the Group to generate revenue and profit. These assets include land and buildings, and plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recognised at cost (which is the amount initially paid for them) less accumulated depreciation (the estimate of annual wear and tear) and impairment losses. The Group leases properties in the normal course of business, principally to conduct its cinema exhibition businesses. On inception of a lease, the estimated cost of decommissioning any additions to these properties (known as leasehold improvements) is included within property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the lease term. A corresponding provision is set up as disclosed in Note 3.8. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for separately. Depreciation is charged to the Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life. The major categories of property, plant and equipment are depreciated as follows: • plant and equipment • buildings and improvements subject to long term leases • • resort apartments and share of common property freehold buildings 3 – 20 years Shorter of estimated useful life and term of lease 40 – 80 years 40 – 80 years. Freehold land and land subject to long term leases are not depreciated. Similarly, assets under construction (classified as capital work in progress) are not depreciated until they come into use, when they are transferred to buildings or plant and equipment as appropriate. Impairment of property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Indicators of impairment may include changes in technology and business performance. The process of impairment testing is to estimate the recoverable amount of the assets concerned, and recognise an impairment loss in the Income Statement whenever the carrying amount of those assets exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment testing of property, plant and equipment is performed at an individual hotel or cinema site level, with the exception of cinema sites within a single geographic location, which are tested as one cash-generating unit.

Except for investment properties, which are revalued every half year (refer to Note 3.4), valuations are generally carried out on a progressive three-year cycle. The majority of the Group’s properties have been subject to an independent valuation at 30 June 2021. Measurement of fair values Amounts disclosed below represent the fair value of the Group’s interest in land and buildings, excluding investment properties, as determined at the time of the most recent independent valuation report. Independent registered qualified valuers are engaged to perform the valuations. The values are determined based on the highest and best use of each property. In most cases, the existing use is the highest and best use and values are determined on a going concern basis. For certain properties, the highest and best use may differ from the current use, and consideration may be given to the development of such properties at an appropriate time in the future in order to realise the full value of the property. The fair value disclosure has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used. Going concern value is based on capitalisation and discounted cash flow methodologies, and significant unobservable inputs include the forecast net income for each property, and the capitalisation and discount rates used in determining fair value. In the most recent valuations for June 2021 capitalisation rates utilised ranged from 4.10% to 12.00% and pre-tax discount rates utilised ranged from 5.61% to 11.75% per annum. For certain sites where the going concern value was not the highest and best use, fair value was determined using a direct comparison methodology with reference to recent sales of similar properties. The fair values determined by the independent registered qualified valuers are sensitive to changes in these significant unobservable inputs. However, overall the fair value of the Group’s interest in land and buildings, excluding investment properties, is significantly higher than the book value of these interests as noted below. Valuations of interest in land and buildings, excluding investment properties and properties classified as held for sale A summary of recent independent valuations, by year of the last valuation, is set out as follows: 2021 $’000 Restated 2020 $’000 Existing use is highest and best use Independent valuation – 2021 – 2020 – 2019 – 2018 Alternate use is highest and best use Independent valuation – 2021 – 2018 Land and buildings not independently valued Book value of land and buildings not independently valued 1,686,164 – – – 1,686,164 274,577 – – 138,700 214,000 1,267,403 1,620,103 – 101,969 4,822 1,965,563 231,130 1,953,202 69 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.3 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued) The book value of the above interests at 30 June 2021 was $1,030,447,000 (2020 restated: $1,092,506,000). The written-down book value of plant and equipment which is deemed integral to land and buildings, has been determined to total approximately $139,872,000 as at 30 June 2021 (2020 restated: $160,452,000). The above valuations do not take into account the potential impact of capital gains tax. Impairment considerations at 30 June 2021 Hotels Hotel properties are treated as separate cash-generating units and the Group obtained independent valuations as at 30 June 2021 from suitably qualified external valuers for each of the key hotel properties. The impairment review process at 30 June 2021 included a comparison of the independent valuation at 30 June 2021 to the carrying value of the hotel cash generating unit. The key parameters used within the Discounted Cash Flow model of the independent valuations obtained as at 30 June 2021 included discount rates (before capital expenditure and debt service) of 5.93% to 11.75%. As a result of the above impairment review process, no impairment charges (2020: $34,150,000) were recognised for the year. For hotels that had been subject to impairments in previous years, the trading performance and recoverable amount were also reviewed during the year. As a result of the review, impairment charges of $3,747,000 (2020: $2,219,000) were reversed in respect of impairments booked in previous years. Entertainment Cinema sites are treated as separate cash-generating units, with the exception of cinema sites within a single geographic location, which are tested as one cash-generating unit. The pre COVID-19 trading performance of certain cinema sites and cash-generating units caused the Group to assess their recoverable amounts at 30 June 2021. In addition, and as a direct result of COVID-19, impairment review parameters were amended to increase the impairment focus on cinema sites and cash- generating units. 70 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.3 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued) The impairment review process at 30 June 2021 included the following: • the normalised annual earnings for each cinema or cinema cash-generating unit were reviewed by management to determine the existence, if any, of any underlying current or expected future market or other conditions that could potentially adversely impact future performance and earnings for the site or cash-generating unit. If an adverse condition was in existence, the site or cash-generating unit was subject to further impairment testing; • where no adverse conditions were considered to be present, the normalised earnings before interest, tax, amortisation and depreciation (“EBITDA”) was multiplied by a factor range of five and seven and the results were used as a conservative proxy for market valuation purposes; and a cash flow model (non-discounted) was utilised and applied as an overlay indicator test. • For those sites where future adverse market changes were noted or the EBITDA multiple or result from the cash flow model was below the relevant carrying value, the site or cash-generating unit was subject to further impairment testing. Where a site or cash generating unit utilises a component of freehold property which is owned by the Group, the impairment assessment also incorporated the current Independent Valuation at 30 June 2021. To assess the value in use for impairment testing purposes: • estimated future cash flows were discounted to their present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate, derived from the Group’s post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 7.16% to 9.00%; cash flow forecasts were based primarily on pre COVID-19 budgets or business plans presented to the Event Board which were then adjusted for COVID-19 and anticipated post COVID-19 impact; and forecast growth rates (inclusive of an average annual inflation rate) of 2.0%. • • As a result of the above impairment review process, impairment losses totalling $9,920,000 (2020: $20,135,000) were recorded in respect of 6 cinema cinemas or cash-generating units. The sites that that were subject to an impairment charge are located in Melbourne (Victoria), Auckland (New Zealand) and four sites in Germany. Thredbo The operations at Thredbo are treated as one cash-generating unit. The trading performance of Thredbo during the year ended 30 June 2021 was unfavourably impacted by the visitation restrictions relating to COVID-19. The impairment review process included a review of the parameters of the independent valuation that was issued at 30 June 2021 together with the expected future normalised earnings of the Thredbo business. The independent valuation parameters were considered to be consistent with the Group’s forward estimates and assumptions. In addition, the independent valuation is in excess of the current carrying value by over 250% and, as a result, the Group determined that there was no impairment in relation to the carrying value of Thredbo.

Initially, investment properties are measured at cost including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. Property that is being constructed or redeveloped for future use as an investment property is also measured at fair value (unless a fair value cannot be reliably determined). When the use of a property changes from owner occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified as an investment property. Any difference at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the property immediately prior to transfer and its fair value is recognised directly to the investment property revaluation reserve if it is an increase and to profit or loss if it is a decrease. A gain may be recognised to profit on remeasurement only to the extent it reverses a previous impairment loss on the property. Subsequent transfers from investment property to property, plant and equipment or inventories occur when there is a change in use of the property, usually evidenced by commencement of redevelopment for own use. Investment properties are derecognised when they have either been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on derecognition of an investment property are recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition. Fair value of investment properties Investment properties are independently revalued to fair value each reporting period, with any gain or loss arising on remeasurement being recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of investment property has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. In assessing the fair value of investment properties, a number of assumptions are made at the end of each reporting period regarding future cash flows, future property market economic conditions and other factors including cash flow discount rates, rental capitalisation rates, and recent market transactions for similar properties. The carrying amount of investment properties is the fair value of the properties as determined by an independent registered qualified valuer. The significant unobservable inputs used by the valuer in determining the fair value of the investment properties held by the Group at 30 June 2021 included capitalisation rates on reversionary rental yields in the range of 5.74% to 7.27% (2020: 6.00% to 7.25%). Investment properties comprise a number of commercial properties that are leased to third parties and which are held to derive rental income or capital appreciation or both. Each of the leases for investment properties contains an initial non-cancellable period of between five and 15 years. Subsequent renewals are negotiated with the lessee. No contingent rents are charged for these investment properties. During the year ended 30 June 2021, $7,518,000 (2020: $7,084,000) was recognised as rental income for investment properties in the Income Statement, with $1,916,000 (2020: $2,029,000) incurred in respect of direct costs, including $720,000 (2020: $208,000) for repairs and maintenance. The Group's overall investment property portfolio value has remained relatively stable despite the circumstances of COVID-19. Valuers have carried out the valuations by applying assumptions regarding the reasonably possible impacts of COVID-19 based on information available as at 30 June 2021.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated and any equity accounted investee is no longer equity accounted. Assets classified as held for sale A number of non-core properties have been identified for potential sale by the Group and, as at 30 June 2021, the Group had initiated active marketing campaigns sale in relation to three of the identified properties. Assets held for sale – carrying amount 2021 $’000 Restated 2020 $’000 17,973 – The fair value determined by independent registered qualified valuers as at 30 June 2021 in relation to the three properties was $27.4 million. The fair values are sensitive to changes in these significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used by the valuer in determining the fair value of the assets held for sale by the Group at 30 June 2021 included capitalisation rates of 5.25%. For certain sites where the going concern value was not the highest and best use, fair value was determined using a direct comparison methodology with reference to recent sales of similar properties. 73 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.6 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Accounting policy Goodwill Goodwill arises from business combinations as described in Note 5.1 and represents the future economic benefits that arise from assets that are not capable of being individually identified and separately recognised. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised, but instead is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units, and impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed. The carrying amount of goodwill in respect of associates and joint ventures is included in the carrying amount of the investment in the associate or joint venture. Construction rights Construction rights relate to the Group’s ability to develop accommodation in the Thredbo Alpine Resort. Construction rights are recognised at cost and are derecognised as the rights are either sold or developed. The carrying value of construction rights is reviewed annually. Any amounts no longer considered recoverable are written off, with the impairment loss recorded in profit or loss. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets, which largely comprise management and leasehold rights and software, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Management and leasehold rights are amortised over the life of the agreements, which range from 10 to 20 years, on a straight-line basis. Software for major operating systems is amortised over a four to five-year period on a straight-line basis. Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than investment properties (see Note 3.4), are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. The recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell, and their value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash- generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying value of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit on a pro-rata basis. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss unless the asset or its cash-generating unit has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of the previous revaluation, with any excess recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 74 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.6 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) Reconciliations Summaries of the carrying amount movements of each class of intangible assets between the beginning and end of the year are set out below: Goodwill $’000 Construction rights $’000 Liquor licences $’000 Management and leasehold rights $’000 Software $’000 Total $’000 2021 Gross balance at the beginning of the year Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses at the beginning of the year Net balance at the beginning of the year Acquisitions and initial contributions Transfers Amortisation Disposals Net foreign currency differences on translation of foreign operations Net balance at the end of the year Gross balance at the end of the year Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses at the end of the year Net balance at the end of the year 2020 - Restated Gross balance at the beginning of the year Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses at the beginning of the year Net balance at the beginning of the year Acquisitions and initial contributions Transfers Amortisation Impairments Disposals Net foreign currency differences on translation of foreign operations Net balance at the end of the year Gross balance at the end of the year Accumulated and impairment losses at the end of the year Net balance at the end of the year amortisation 62,928 1,343 196 67,616 8,300 140,383 (653) 62,275 4,555 – – – (250) 66,580 67,233 (653) – 1,343 – – – – – 1,343 1,343 – 66,580 1,343 – 196 – – – – – 196 196 – 196 (37,385) (3,199) (41,237) 30,231 729 3,153 (4,429) – (77) 29,607 5,101 873 (405) (1,879) (15) 99,146 6,157 2,748 (6,308) (15) (56) (383) 3,619 101,345 68,776 8,861 146,409 (39,169) (5,242) (45,064) 29,607 3,619 101,345 63,336 1,343 196 62,292 17,438 144,605 – – – (31,604) (13,012) (44,616) 63,336 1,343 196 – – – (653) – (408) 62,275 62,928 (653) 62,275 – – – – – – 1,343 1,343 – 1,343 – – – – – – 196 196 – 196 30,688 5,638 – (3,943) – (1,972) (180) 30,231 4,426 99,989 1,767 790 (1,900) – (2) 20 5,101 7,405 790 (5,843) (653) (1,974) (568) 99,146 67,616 8,300 140,383 (37,385) 30,231 (3,199) 5,101 (41,237) 99,146 75 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.6 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) Cash generating units containing goodwill have been outlined below: Cash-generating units containing goodwill The following units have carrying amounts of goodwill: Entertainment – Australia and New Zealand Entertainment – Germany Hotels – New Zealand Hotels – Australia Multiple units without significant goodwill 2021 $’000 43,694 4,066 14,485 3,593 742 66,580 Restated 2020 $’000 43,728 4,205 10,007 3,593 742 62,275 The recoverable value of goodwill has been determined by value in use calculations. This calculation uses cash flow projections based on operating forecasts and projected results, with cash flows beyond the five-year period being projected using a per annum growth rate. To assess the value in use for impairment testing purposes: • estimated future cash flows were discounted to their present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate, derived from the Group’s post-tax weighted average cost of capital of between 7.16% to 9.00%; cash flow forecasts were based primarily on post COVID-19 budgets or business plans presented to the Event Board; and forecast growth rates (inclusive of an average annual inflation rate) of 2.0%. • • As a result of the above impairment review process no impairment losses (2020: $2,625,000) were recorded in respect of goodwill and management leasehold rights. 3.7 – TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost. Trade payables are normally non-interest bearing and settled within 30 days. Payables are stated with the amount of GST or equivalent tax included. The carrying value of trade and other payables is considered to approximate fair value.

The provision is calculated as the present value of the Group’s net obligation to pay such benefits resulting from the employees’ services provided up to the reporting date. The provisions due or available to be settled within 12 months have been calculated at undiscounted amounts based on the remuneration rates the employer expects to pay after the reporting date and includes related on-costs. 76 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.8 – PROVISIONS (continued) The liability for employees’ benefits to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the employer resulting from employees’ services provided up to the reporting date. Liabilities for employee benefits which are not due to be settled within 12 months are discounted using the rates attaching to national government securities at reporting date, which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities. In determining the liability for employee benefits, consideration has been given to future increases in wage and salary rates, and the Group’s experience with staff departures. Related on-costs have also been included in the liability. Insurance loss contingencies and other claims The insurance loss contingencies and other claims provision relates to estimated costs to be incurred in respect of various claims that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date. Decommissioning of leasehold improvements A provision for the estimated cost of decommissioning leasehold improvements is made where a legal or constructive obligation exists. In determining the provision for decommissioning costs, an assessment is made for each location of the likelihood and amount of the decommissioning costs to be incurred in the future. The estimated future liability is discounted to a present value, with the discount amount unwinding over the life of the leasehold asset as a finance cost in profit or loss. The estimated decommissioning cost recognised as a provision is included as part of the cost of the leasehold improvements at the time of installation or during the term of the lease, as the liability for decommissioning is reassessed. This amount capitalised is then depreciated over the life of the asset. The decommissioning of leasehold improvements provision has been raised in respect of “make-good” obligations under long term lease contracts for various cinema sites. In determining the provision, an assessment has been made, for each location, of the likelihood that a decommissioning cost will be incurred in the future and, where applicable, the level of costs to be incurred. Uncertainty exists in estimating the level of costs to be incurred in the future because of the long term nature of cinema leases. Other Other provisions are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost. 2021 $’000 22,056 75 – 22,131 2,902 17,056 19,958 Restated 2020 $’000 18,822 75 72 18,969 2,695 16,387 19,082 Current Employee benefits Insurance loss contingencies and other claims Onerous contract Non-current Employee benefits Decommissioning of leasehold improvements 77 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.8 – PROVISIONS (continued) Movements in provisions Movements in the carrying amounts of each class of provisions, except for employee benefits, are set out below: Insurance loss contingencies and other claims Carrying amount at the beginning of the year Payments Provided Carrying amount at the end of the year Onerous contract Carrying amount at the beginning of the year Utilised Carrying amount at the end of the year Decommissioning of leasehold improvements Carrying amount at the beginning of the year Provided Reversed Net foreign currency differences on translation of foreign operations Carrying amount at the end of the year 3.9 – COMMITMENTS AND LEASES Restated 2020 $’000 2021 $’000 75 – – 75 72 (72) – 16,387 1,306 (372) (265) 17,056 75 – – 75 287 (215) 72 13,742 2,936 (326) 35 16,387 Accounting policy At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether: • the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Group has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is pre-determined, the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either: o the Group has the right to operate the asset; or o the Group has designed the asset in a way that pre-determines how and for what purpose it will be used. • • This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after 1 July 2019. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. 78 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.9 – COMMITMENTS AND LEASES (continued) Accounting for leases – as a lessee The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: • • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; commencement date; • amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and • the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of- use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Group presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities separately in the statement of financial position. Short term leases and leases of low-value assets (from 1 July 2019) The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases of machinery that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with the leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Accounting for leases – as a lessor When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset. When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interest in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease. If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies AASB 15 Revenue to allocate the consideration in the contract. 79 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.9 – COMMITMENTS AND LEASES (continued) The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of other income.

Property leases The Group leases various properties, including cinema sites, under operating leases. The leases typically run for periods up to 20 years, with varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal or extension options. The head lease in respect of the Thredbo Village and ski area is for a longer period, being 50 years from 29 June 2007. The Group sub-leases some of its properties under operating leases (see below). Variable lease payments based on sales and profit Some leases provide for additional rent payments that are based on sales or profit that the Group makes at the leased site in the period. Variable lease payments during the year ended 30 June 2021 were $1,425,000 (2020: $3,398,000). 80 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.9 – COMMITMENTS AND LEASES (continued) Extension options Some property leases contain extension options exercisable by the Group up to one year before the end of the non-cancellable contract period. The extension options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the lessors. The Group assesses at lease commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances within its control. As at 30 June 2021, lease liabilities included $110,305,000 (2020: $99,928,000) of lease liabilities in respect of extension options that have yet to be exercised by the Group. Lease not yet commenced to which the lessee is committed As at 30 June 2021, the Group has entered into agreements for new leases that have yet to commence and in respect of which lease liabilities have yet to be recognised. The Group’s share of the total undiscounted rent payable under these leases is $29,408,000 (2020: $29,836,000), over lease terms of between 15 and 20 years. Other leases Other leases, including leases of vehicles and equipment, are not material to the Group. Operating leases – as a lessor The Group receives rental income from a number of properties, both leased and owned. With the exception of sub-leases under the Thredbo head lease, leases are for periods ranging between one and 15 years and have varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal or extension options. There are approximately 700 sub-leases under the Thredbo head lease. Thredbo sub-leases consist of long term accommodation sub-leases for holiday apartments, chalets and lodges and also retail premises. Long term accommodation sub-leases are typically for periods mirroring the head lease, which was renewed for a further 50- year period from 29 June 2007. The Group has classified these leases as operating leases because they do not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets. Lease income from lease contracts in which the Group acts as a lessor is set out in Note 2.1. The following table sets out a maturity analysis of lease payments, showing the undiscounted lease payments to be received after the reporting date.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. On a show of hands, every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote. 2021 Shares 2020 Shares 2021 $’000 2020 $’000 Share capital Fully paid ordinary shares 161,195,521 161,195,521 219,126 219,126 Movements in share capital Balance at the beginning of the year Performance shares exercised and withdrawn from the trust Balance at the end of the year 161,195,521 – 161,195,521 160,992,028 203,493 161,195,521 219,126 – 219,126 219,126 – 219,126 Share capital consists of: Ordinary shares Tax Exempt Share Plan shares 161,173,953 21,568 161,195,521 161,173,671 21,850 161,195,521 Share buy-back There is no current on-market buy-back.

The Board monitors the return on capital, which the Group defines as operating profit after income tax divided by shareholders’ equity and long term debt. The Board also monitors the Group’s gearing ratio, being net debt divided by shareholders’ equity. It is recognised that the Group operates in business segments in which operating results may be subject to volatility and the Board continuously reviews the capital structure to ensure sufficient: • • • surplus funding capacity is available; funds are available for capital expenditure and to implement longer term business development strategies; and funds are available to maintain appropriate dividend levels. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. No Group entity is subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 4.2 – DIVIDENDS To assist the Group’s liquidity during the COVID-19 recovery period, no dividend has been declared in respect of the year ended 30 June 2021. Future dividend payments will be subject to Board consideration and approval having regard to all relevant circumstances including lender gearing requirements and the Group’s trading performance.

Investment property revaluation reserve This reserve relates to property that has been reclassified as an investment property and represents the cumulative increase in the fair value of the property at the date of reclassification. Hedging reserve This reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments related to hedged transactions that have not yet occurred. Share-based payments reserve This reserve includes the cumulative fair value of the executive performance shares and performance rights which have been recognised as an employee expense in the Income Statement. See Note 6.1 for further details regarding share-based payment arrangements. Foreign currency translation reserve This reserve records the foreign currency differences arising from the translation of foreign operations, the translation of transactions that hedge the Group’s net investment in a foreign operation or the translation of foreign currency monetary items forming part of the net investment in a foreign operation and the Group’s share of associates’ increment or decrement in their foreign currency translation reserve.

Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows. Loans and borrowings Interest bearing and non-interest bearing loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. The carrying value of loans and borrowings is considered to approximate fair value. Finance costs Finance costs include interest, unwinding of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings and lease finance charges. Ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of loans and borrowings are capitalised and amortised over the life of the borrowings. Finance costs are expensed 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. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs capitalised is that incurred in relation to that borrowing, net of any interest earned on those borrowings. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Bank debt – secured The Group’s secured bank debt facilities comprise the following: • • • $650,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan facility maturing on 3 July 2023; $43,500,000 non-revolving loan facility maturing on 3 January 2022; and $2,500,000 credit support facility (for the issue of letters of credit and bank guarantees). The debt facilities are supported by interlocking guarantees from most Australian and New Zealand domiciled Group entities and secured by specific property mortgages (refer to Note 3.3). The debt facilities were amended and restated on 3 July 2020 and initially consisted of the $650,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan, a $100,000,000 non-revolving loan facility and $2,500,000 credit support facility. In relation to the non-revolving loan facility, the Group repaid and cancelled $56,500,000 of that facility during the year. Debt drawn under the loan facilities bears interest at the relevant inter-bank benchmark reference rate plus a margin of between 1.75% and 4.35% per annum. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had drawn $476,428,000 (2020: $488,300,000) under the loan facilities and $1,225,000 under the credit support facility (2020: $1,124,000). Debt facility components subject to interest rate swaps used for hedging totalled $nil (2020: $nil) at 30 June 2021. The debt facilities replaced a $545,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan facility and a $15,000,000 credit support facility that were in place at 30 June 2020. Other facilities A wholly-owned New Zealand domiciled subsidiary has a general security facility in respect of certain bank guarantees issued in relation to obligations under lease arrangements. The general security facility obligations total NZ$2,784,000 (A$2,591,000) at 30 June 2021. Certain wholly-owned German domiciled subsidiaries have a secured guarantee facility of €14,000,000 (A$22,910,000) for the issue of letters of credit and bank guarantee arrangements. The facility was extended during the financial year and expires on 31 May 2022. The facility is secured against cash held within certain wholly-owned German domiciled subsidiaries. Guarantees supported under the facility bear interest at 1.15% per annum. At 30 June 2021, the Group had drawn €12,466,000 (A$19,724,000) under the facility. 85 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.4 – LOANS, BORROWINGS AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS (continued) Current Interest bearing loans and borrowings Bank loans – secured Non-interest bearing loans and borrowings Loans from other companies – unsecured Non-current Interest bearing loans and borrowings Bank loans – secured Deferred financing costs Non-interest bearing loans and borrowings Loans from other companies – unsecured 2021 $’000 Restated 2020 $’000 43,500 43,500 1,480 44,980 432,928 (3,081) 429,847 1,363 431,210 488,300 488,300 821 489,121 – – – 1,804 1,804 86 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Derivative financial instruments From time to time, the Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risks arising from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value within prepayments and other current assets. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged. The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is their quoted market price at the reporting date, being the present value of the quoted forward price. Investments designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) The Group holds a preference shareholding in Carlton Investments Limited, a company listed on the ASX. The Group has designated these investments as at FVOCI. All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment. After initial recognition, investments, which are designated as at FVOCI, are measured at fair value. Investments designated as at FVOCI comprise marketable equity securities. For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to securities exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business at reporting date. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Equity investments as at FVOCI Investment in a listed company 2021 $’000 78 Restated 2020 $’000 78 No reasonably possible change in the share price of this company would have a material effect on the investment balance or the related revaluation reserve at the reporting date. 87 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Financial risks The Group’s exposure to financial risks, objectives, policies and processes for managing the risks including methods used to measure the risks, and the management of capital are presented below. The Group’s activities expose it to the following financial risks: • • • credit risk; liquidity risk; and market risk, including interest rate and foreign exchange risks. The Board has overall responsibility for the oversight of the risk management framework. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly and modified as appropriate to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Audit and Risk Committee oversees how management has established and monitors internal compliance and control systems and to ensure the appropriate and effective management of the above risks. The Audit and Risk Committee is assisted in its oversight role by the Internal Audit function. The Internal Audit function undertakes reviews of risk management controls and procedures in accordance with an annual plan approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. The results of these Internal Audit reviews are reported to the Audit and Risk Committee. Credit risk Credit risk arises from trade and other receivables outstanding, cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions. It is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to the financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables. Information regarding the Group’s trade receivable balances is disclosed in Note 3.1. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is not considered material. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was considered to approximate the carrying value of receivables at the reporting date. Investments and derivatives Investments of surplus cash and deposits and derivative financial instruments are with banks with high credit ratings. Given their high credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. At 30 June 2021, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, in the Statement of Financial Position. Guarantees All guarantees are in respect of obligations of subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures or joint operations in which the Group has an interest, and principally relate to operating lease arrangements. The Group’s operating lease commitments are disclosed in Note 3.9, and details of guarantees given by the parent entity are provided in Note 7.4. Security deposits Security deposits relate to the Group’s operating lease arrangements. Certain lease agreements require an amount to be placed on deposit, which should then be returned to the Group at the conclusion of the lease term. 88 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The Group’s treasury function aims to maintain flexibility in funding by maintaining committed credit lines with a number of counterparties. The Group’s financial liabilities The contractual maturities of the Group’s financial liabilities, including interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements, are as follows: Carrying amount $’000 Contractual cash flows $’000 6 months or less $’000 6 to 12 months $’000 1 to 2 year(s) $’000 2 to 5 years $’000 Over 5 years $’000 2021 Non-derivative financial liabilities Secured bank loans 476,428 (504,972) (7,123) (50,235) (14,606) (433,008) − Unsecured non-interest bearing loans from other companies Trade payables Other payables and accruals 2,843 46,422 83,856 (2,870) (46,422) (83,856) Lease liabilities 1,011,742 (1,207,167) (740) (46,422) (83,856) (66,481) (740) − − (66,481) (449) − − (122,836) (320) − − (345,545) (621) − − (605,824) Derivative financial liabilities Forward exchange contracts 2020 – restated Non-derivative financial liabilities − 1,621,291 − (1,845,287) − (204,662) − (117,456) − (137,891) − (778,873) − (606,445) Secured bank loans 488,300 (489,195) (489,195) − − − − Unsecured non-interest bearing loans from other companies Trade payables Other payables and accruals Lease liabilities Derivative financial liabilities Forward exchange contracts 2,625 32,228 77,265 (2,625) (32,228) (77,265) 937,063 (1,121,519) (410) (32,228) (77,265) (66,232) (411) − − (66,232) (854) − − (118,112) (628) − − (340,073) (322) − − (530,870) − − − − − − − 1,537,481 (1,722,832) (665,330) (66,643) (118,966) (340,701) (531,192) For derivative financial assets and liabilities, maturities detailed in the table above approximate periods that cash flows and the impact on profit or loss are expected to occur. 89 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates, will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, whilst optimising the return. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and are not traded or used as speculative instruments. This is carried out under Board approved treasury policies. Hedge of net investment in foreign operations The portion of the gain or loss on an instrument used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation, that is determined to be an effective hedge, is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Interest rate risk The Group manages interest rate exposures on borrowings in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy that specifies parameters for hedging including hedging percentages and approved hedging instruments. The policy specifies upper and lower hedging limits set for specific timeframes out to five years. These limits may be varied with the approval of the Board. At reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest bearing financial instruments was: Fixed rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities Variable rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities 2021 $’000 Restated 2020 $’000 – – – – – – 90,752 (476,428) (385,676) 55,168 (488,300) (433,132) The Group manages interest rate risk in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy covering the types of instruments, range of protection and duration of instruments. The financial instruments cover interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. Maturities of these instruments are up to a maximum of five years. Interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements allow the Group to raise long term borrowings at floating rates and swap a portion of those borrowings into fixed rates. The approved range of interest rate cover is based on the projected debt levels for each currency and reduced for each future year. There were no interest rate hedges at 30 June 2021 (2020: no interest rate hedges). The Group classifies interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and recognises them at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position. The Group accounts for fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Group had no fixed rate instruments for the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: no fixed rate instruments) and accordingly no sensitivity analysis has been prepared in the current or prior year. Foreign exchange risk The Group is exposed to currency risk on purchases, borrowings and surplus funds that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily the Australian dollar (“AUD”), but also the New Zealand dollar (“NZD”), Euro (“EUR”) and Great British pound (“GBP”). Transactions undertaken by Group entities are primarily denominated in AUD, NZD, EUR and the US dollar (“USD”). 90 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) The Group manages foreign currency exposures in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy that specifies parameters for hedging, including hedging percentages and approved hedging instruments. At any point in time, the Group may hedge up to 60% of “highly probable” foreign currency exposures and 100% of confirmed foreign currency exposures. Typically, foreign currency exposures are hedged with the utilisation of forward exchange contracts. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk in AUD equivalents at the reporting date was as follows, based on notional amounts: Cash and cash equivalents Trade receivables Secured bank loans Trade payables Gross balance sheet exposure Forward exchange contracts Net exposure NZD $’000 8,274 135 (94,928) (2,863) (89,382) – – (89,382) 2021 EUR $’000 GBP $’000 USD $’000 29 – – – 29 – – 29 305 – – – 305 – – 305 88 – – – 88 – – 88 NZD $’000 7,684 1,713 (95,300) (3,460) (89,363) – – 2020 – restated GBP $’000 EUR $’000 USD $’000 96 – – – 476 – – – 476 96 – – – – 3,534 – – – 3,534 – – (89,363) 3,534 476 96 Sensitivity analysis No reasonably possible change in prevailing foreign exchange rates would have a significant impact on the Income Statement or hedging reserve in the current or prior year. Hedging of net investment in foreign subsidiaries The Group’s NZD denominated bank loan is designated as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure to the Group’s net investment in its subsidiaries in New Zealand. The carrying amount of the loan at 30 June 2021 was $94,928,000 (2020: $95,300,000). A foreign exchange gain of $372,000 (2020: gain of $2,412,000) was recognised in equity on translation of the loan to AUD. Financial instruments fair value determination method grading Valuation methods for financial instruments carried at fair value are defined as follows: • • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). • Investments designated as at FVOCI are classified as Level 1 financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are classified as Level 2 financial instruments. 91 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 5 – G R O U P C O M P O S I T I O N This section explains the composition of the Group. On the following pages, there are sections on businesses acquired during the year, a list of subsidiaries, investments in associates and joint ventures, and disclosures regarding interests in other entities including cinema partnership interests. 5.1 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Accounting policy Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the date when control is transferred to the Group. Under the acquisition method, consideration transferred in a business combination is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Consideration transferred includes the fair value of any contingent consideration, and share- based payment awards of the acquiree that are required to be replaced in the business combination. The Group measures goodwill arising from the business combination at the acquisition date as the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment (refer to Note 3.6). If the consideration transferred is lower than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss. A contingent liability of the acquiree is assumed in a business combination only if the liability represents a present obligation and arises from past events, and its fair value can be measured. The Group measures any non-controlling interest at its proportionate interest of the fair value of identifiable net assets of the acquiree. Transaction costs incurred by the Group in connection with a business combination, such as due diligence fees, legal fees and other professional costs, are expensed as incurred. Business combinations in the year ended 30 June 2021 The Group acquired the following business during the year: Jucy Snooze Limited Effective 30 April 2021, Noahs Hotels (N.Z.) Limited (“Noahs”), a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired 100% of Jucy Snooze Limited (“Snooze”), having previously acquired a 50% interest on 3 February 2020. The net consideration paid for the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest on 30 April 2021 was NZ$3,718,000 (A$3,460,000), comprised as follows (all amounts in Australian dollars): Equity interest in Snooze Shareholder loan receivable balances acquired Total consideration for the increase in interest in Snooze to 100% Adjustments to the purchase price for the initial 50% interest Net consideration paid on 30 April 2021 Fair value at acquisition date $’000 821 3,533 4,354 (894) 3,460 The adjustments to the purchase price for the initial 50% interest were certain adjustments in Noahs’ favour in respect of working capital and contingent consideration relating to earnings of a component of Snooze for the year ended 30 June 2020. AASB 3 Business Combinations requires that the existing interest in Snooze be remeasured to its fair value. The Group determined that there was no material difference between the equity-accounted book value of its existing interest in Snooze and the fair value of that interest at 30 April 2021 and on that basis no adjustment has been recorded in this regard. 92 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 5 – G R O U P C O M P O S I T I O N 5.1 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (continued) The Group has provisionally recognised the fair value of the following identifiable assets and liabilities relating to this acquisition as follows (all amounts in Australian dollars): Total consideration for the increase in interest in Snooze to 100% Less: cash acquired Fair value (book value) of previously held interest in Snooze Assets and liabilities acquired Leasehold improvements Plant and equipment Software Capital work in progress Other assets and liabilities Total net value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired Goodwill Fair value at acquisition date $’000 4,354 (79) 5,087 9,362 4,079 1,084 255 951 (1,562) 4,807 4,555 The goodwill is attributable to the trading reputation and other intangible assets which are not separately identifiable. Goodwill recognised is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Group incurred direct costs relating to this acquisition of $179,000 which have been expensed in the Income Statement for the year. The Income Statement includes revenue and a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2021 of $345,000 and $536,000 respectively as a result of this acquisition. Had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the year, it is estimated that the Income Statement would have included additional revenue and net loss of approximately $1,822,000 and $799,000 respectively. There were no other material business combinations in the year ended 30 June 2021. Business combinations in the year ended 30 June 2020 There were no material business combinations in the year ended 30 June 2020. 93 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 5 – G R O U P C O M P O S I T I O N 5.2 – SUBSIDIARIES Accounting policy Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group.

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. Interests in associates and joint ventures (see below) are accounted for using the equity method. They are recognised initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Joint arrangements A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control, in which the parties are bound by a contractual arrangement, and the contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. The Group classifies its interests in joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the Group’s rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangements. When making this assessment, the Group considers the structure of the arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the contractual terms of the arrangements and other facts and circumstances. The Group’s interests in joint operations, which are arrangements in which the parties have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, are accounted for on the basis of the Group’s interest in those assets and liabilities. The Group’s interests in joint ventures, which are arrangements in which the parties have rights to the net assets, are equity accounted.

On the following pages, there are sections on share-based payments, director and executive disclosures and related party transactions. 6.1 – SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS The Group’s share-based payment arrangements include the Executive Performance Share Plan and the Executive Performance Rights Plan. Grants were made under the Executive Performance Share Plan from 2007 to 2013 inclusive. The Group conducted a review of its long term incentive (“LTI”) arrangements in 2013 and resolved that the existing performance share-based LTI should be replaced with a performance rights-based LTI. Shareholders approved the Executive Performance Rights Plan at the 2013 Annual General Meeting. Grants have subsequently been made under the Executive Performance Rights Plan in February 2014, February 2015, February 2016, February 2017, February 2018, February 2019, February 2020 and February 2021. Accounting policy The fair value of performance shares and rights granted under the Executive Performance Share Plan and the Executive Performance Rights Plan is recognised as an employee expense over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to shares in the Company. There is a corresponding increase in equity, being recognition of a share- based payments reserve. The fair value of performance shares and rights granted is measured at grant date. To facilitate the operation of the Executive Performance Share Plan and Executive Performance Rights Plan, a third party trustee is used to administer the trust which holds shares in the Company allocated under the Executive Performance Share Plan or otherwise held or acquired on market in order to satisfy the Group’s future obligations under the Executive Performance Rights Plan. The trust is controlled by the Group and therefore its financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements. The shares in the Group held by the trust are therefore shown as treasury shares (see Note 4.1). The Group incurs expenses on behalf of the trust. These expenses are in relation to administration costs of the trust and are recorded in the Income Statement as incurred. Performance shares and performance rights are subject to performance hurdles. The performance shares are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as restricted ordinary shares. Performance shares are included within the weighted average number of shares used as the denominator for determining basic earnings per share and net tangible asset backing per share. Performance rights are not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, but are included within the weighted average number of shares issued as the denominator for determining diluted earnings per share. The Group measures the cost of the Executive Performance Share Plan and Executive Performance Rights Plan by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which the instruments are granted. The fair value of performance rights granted is determined by an external valuer using a Binomial tree model and a Monte Carlo simulation model and using the assumptions detailed below. Executive Performance Rights Plan The establishment of the Executive Performance Rights Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2013 Annual General Meeting. Employees receiving awards under the Executive Performance Rights Plan are those of a senior level and above (including the CEO). An employee awarded performance rights is not legally entitled to shares in the Company before the performance rights under the plan vest, and during the vesting period the performance rights do not carry the right to vote or to receive dividends. Once the rights have vested, which is dependent on the Group achieving its earnings per share (“EPS”) and total shareholder return (“TSR”) targets, participants are issued one ordinary share in the Company for each vested performance right held. Award, vesting and the issue of ordinary shares under the plan are made for no consideration. The performance period is three years. 101 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2021 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 1 S E C T I O N 6 – E M P L O Y E E B E N E F I T S A N D R E L A T E D P A R T Y T R A N S A C T I O N S 6.1 – SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (continued) Set out below are summaries of performance rights awarded under the plan: Type of right Grant date 2021 Balance at the start of the year Granted Exercised Forfeited Performance rights 15 February 2018 433,467 Performance rights 21 February 2019 403,115 Performance rights 20 February 2020 Performance rights 18 February 2021 508,815 − 1,345,397 2020 Performance rights 16 February 2017 485,009 Performance rights 15 February 2018 478,224 Performance rights 21 February 2019 Performance rights 20 February 2020 445,908 − 1,409,141 − − − 748,386 748,386 − − − 528,483 528,483 − − − − − − − − − − Balance at the end of the year − 390,354 490,379 744,357 (433,467) (12,761) (18,436) (4,029) (468,693) 1,625,090 (485,009) (44,757) (42,793) (19,668) − 433,467 403,115 508,815 (592,227) 1,345,397 Fair value of performance rights granted The assessed fair value at grant date of performance rights granted under the Executive Performance Rights Plan during the year ended 30 June 2021 was $10.00 (2020: $11.07) for those rights that have EPS hurdles and $6.99 (2020: $5.15) for those rights that have TSR hurdles.
