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.

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.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS 
The Company’s constitution provides an indemnity to each person, including AG Rydge, PR Coates, VA Davies, DC Grant, JM Hastings, 
PM Mann and RG Newton, who is or who has been a director or alternate director of the Company or of any related body corporate 
of the Company. The indemnity also extends to such other officers or former officers, including executive officers or former executive 
officers, of the Company and of any related body corporate of the Company as the directors of the Company determine. 

In terms of the indemnity, the Company will indemnify the directors and other officers of the Company acting as such, to the full 
extent permitted by law, against any liability to another person (other than the Company or a related body corporate) incurred in 
acting as a director or officer of the Company, unless the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith. The indemnity 
includes any liability for costs and expenses incurred by such person in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which 
judgement  is  given  in  that  person’s  favour,  or  in  which  the  person  is  acquitted  and  in  making  an  application  in  relation  to  any 
proceedings in which the court grants relief to the person under the law. 

The Company has provided directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies that cover all the directors and officers of the Company 
and its controlled entities. The terms of the policies prohibit disclosure of details of the amount of the insurance cover, its nature 
and the premium paid. 

OFFICERS WHO WERE PREVIOUSLY PARTNERS OF THE AUDIT FIRM 
Mrs PM Mann was previously a partner of the current audit firm, KPMG, at a time when KPMG undertook an audit of the Group. 

AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE 
The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 35 and forms part of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 
June 2021. 

NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED BY KPMG 
During the year, KPMG, the Group’s auditor, performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties. 

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and in accordance with written advice 
provided by resolution of the Audit and Risk Committee is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by 
the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for 
the following reasons: 

• 

• 

all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been reviewed by 
the Audit and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and 
the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in 
a  management  or  decision-making  capacity  for  the  Group,  acting  as  an  advocate  for  the  Group  or  jointly  sharing  risks  and 
rewards.

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED 
This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the Group’s key management personnel (“KMP”) as defined in 
AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures including non-executive directors, the CEO (who is also the Managing Director), and other senior 
executives who have authority for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. 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

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:

(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.

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:

(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.

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.

The CEO’s contract provides for an annual review of the CEO’s fixed annual remuneration and maximum incentive opportunities. 
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:

preference shares in Carlton Investments Limited. Dividends received during the year from preference shares held in Carlton 
Investments Limited were $5,312 (2020: $5,312).

Apart from the details disclosed in the Remuneration Report, no KMP has entered into a material contract with the Group since 
the end of the previous year and there were no material contracts involving directors’ interests existing at the reporting date. 

From time to time, KMP of the Group, or their related parties, may purchase goods or services from the Group. These purchases 
are usually on the same terms and conditions as those granted to other Group employees. Where the purchases are on terms 
and conditions more favourable than those granted to other Group employees, the resulting benefits form part of the total 
remuneration outlined within the Remuneration Report.

This section explains the basis of preparation for the Group’s financial statements, including information regarding 
the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards. 

1.1 – REPORTING ENTITY 

EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited (“Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. 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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1.5 – RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (continued) 

Discontinued operations 
On 22 October 2018, the sale of the 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. 

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.  

As disclosed within previous reporting periods, profit attributable to discontinued operations was as follows: 

Revenue and other income 
Revenue from sale of goods and rendering of services 
Other revenue and income 
Total revenue  
Expenses 
Film hire and other film expenses 
Occupancy expenses 
Employee expenses 
Purchases and other direct expenses 
Amortisation and depreciation* 
Advertising, commissions and marketing expenses 
Other operating expenses 
Finance costs 
Total expenses 
Equity profit 
Share of net profit of equity accounted investees 
Profit before income tax expense 
Income tax expense 
Profit after tax from discontinued operations 

Cash flows from discontinued operations were as follows: 
Net cash provided by operating activities 
Net cash used in investing activities 
Net cash used in financing activities

This  section  focuses  on  the  results  and  performance  of  the  Group.  On  the  following  pages  are  disclosures 
explaining  the  Group’s  revenue,  segment  reporting,  individually  significant  items,  taxation  and  earnings  per 
share. 

2.1 – REVENUE 

Revenue recognition policies 

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Group recognises revenue when 
it transfers control of a good or service to a customer. The following table provides information about the nature and timing 
of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contacts with customers, including significant payment terms and the related 
revenue recognition policies. The Group’s revenue recognition accounting policies are summarised in the table below: 

Type of 
product/ 
service 

Box office 

Nature and timing of satisfaction of 
performance obligations, including 
significant payment terms 

Customers purchase a ticket to see a 
film  and 
the  customer  obtains 
control of the service when they see 
the  film.  Tickets  may  be  purchased 
by  customers  in  advance  or  on  the 
day of the film screening. 

Customers that are members of the 
loyalty  program 
Group’s  cinema 
(Cinebuzz) 
points  when 
earn 
purchasing tickets which can be used 
to purchase services from the Group 
in the future. 

Revenue recognition policies 

Box  office  ticket  revenue  is  recognised  on  the  date  the 
customer views the relevant film.  

When tickets are sold in advance, the revenue is recorded as 
deferred  revenue  in  the  Statement  of  Financial  Position  until 
the date of the film screening. 

When  gift  cards  and  vouchers  are  sold  to  customers,  the 
revenue is recognised as deferred revenue in the Statement of 
Financial  Position  until  the  customer  uses  the  gift  card  or 
voucher  to  purchase  goods  or  services  from  the  Group. 
Revenue  from  gift  cards  and  vouchers  that  will  not  be 
redeemed  by  customers  (“breakage”) 
is  estimated  and 
recognised  as  revenue  based  on  historical  patterns  of 
redemption by customers.  

When  customers  earn  loyalty  points,  box  office  revenue  is 
allocated  proportionally  based  on  the  relative  stand-alone 
selling  prices  of  the  ticket  and  the  loyalty  points  earned.  The 
stand-alone  selling  price  of  the  loyalty  points  is  determined 
with  reference  to  the  average  admission  price  and  expected 
loyalty point breakage. Loyalty point revenue is recognised as 
deferred  revenue  in  the  Statement  of  Financial  Position  until 
the points are redeemed or expire. Breakage is estimated based 
on historical patterns of redemptions by customers. 

Commission and other direct expenses incurred in relation to 
the  sale  of  gift  cards  are  recognised  as  an  asset  until  the  gift 
cards are redeemed or expire. 

Food and 
beverage 

Customers  obtain  control  of  food 
and beverage at the point of sale. 

Revenue is recognised at the point of sale. 

Hotel rooms 

Customers  obtain  control  of  the 
accommodation  service  when  they 
occupy the room. 

Revenue is recognised when the room is occupied.

2.2 – SEGMENT REPORTING 

Accounting policy 
An operating segment is a 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. 

Operating segments 
The Group comprises the following main operating segments: 

Entertainment 
Includes cinema exhibition operations in Australia and New Zealand, technology equipment supply and servicing, and the State 
Theatre. 

Entertainment Germany 
Includes the cinema exhibition operations in Germany.  Refer to note 1.5 for further information. 

Hotels and Resorts 
Includes the ownership, operation and management of hotels in Australia and New Zealand. 

Thredbo Alpine Resort 
Includes all the operations of the resort including property development activities. 

Property and Other Investments 
Includes  property  rental,  investment  properties  and  investments  designated  as  at  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive 
income. 

Geographical information 
Also  presented  is  information  on  the  Group’s  split  of  revenue  and  non-current  assets  by  geographic  location.  Geographic 
revenue is based on the geographical location of customers. Segment assets are based on the geographical location of the 
assets. The Group operates in Australia, New Zealand and Germany.

Accounting policy 
Income  tax  expense  in  the  Income  Statement  for  the  periods  presented  comprises  current  and  deferred  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.

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.

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. 

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

This section shows the assets used to generate the Group’s trading performance and the liabilities incurred as a 
result.  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.

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.

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. Thredbo is also considered to 
be, and has been tested as, one cash-generating unit. Details regarding impairment testing performed at 30 June 2021 are set out 
below.

3.3 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued) 

Independent valuations of interest in land and buildings 
In assessing current values for the Group’s interest in land and buildings and integral plant and equipment, including long term 
leasehold  land  and  improvements,  the  directors  have  relied  in  most  cases  upon  independent  valuations  from  registered 
qualified valuers or management value in use calculations. 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.

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.

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.

facilities (refer to Note 4.4):

3.4 – INVESTMENT PROPERTIES 

Accounting policy 
Investment properties comprise land and buildings which are held for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation or 
both, and are not occupied by the Group in the ordinary course of business or for administration purposes. 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.

3.5 – ASSETS HELD FOR SALE 

Accounting policy 
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that 
they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.  

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.

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.

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.

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.

Employee benefits 
Provision is made for employee benefits including annual leave and long service leave for employees. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  

Joint operation lease arrangements 
As  disclosed  in  Note  5.3,  the  Group  is  a  party  to  material  joint  operations  in  respect  of  its  cinema  operations.  These  are 
accounted for on a line-by-line basis. The disclosures set out below include the Group’s share of its right-of-use assets and 
lease liabilities that relate to these joint operations.

No significant expense was recognised in the income statement in respect of short-term leases or leases of low-value assets. 

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).

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.

This section outlines the Group’s capital structure, including how much is raised from shareholders (equity) and 
how much is borrowed from financial institutions (debt). 

On  the  following  pages,  there  are  sections  on  the  Group’s  share  capital,  dividends,  reserves,  loans  and 
borrowings, and financial risk management. 

4.1 – SHARE CAPITAL 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 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.

4.1 – SHARE CAPITAL (continued) 

Capital management 
The Group manages its capital with the objective of maintaining a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and 
market confidence and to have the capacity to take advantage of opportunities that will enhance the existing businesses and 
enable future growth and expansion. 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.

The impact on the franking account of dividends proposed or declared before the financial report was authorised for issue but 
not recognised as a distribution to equity holders during the period was $nil (2020: $nil). The ability to utilise franking credits 
is dependent upon the Company being in a sufficient positive net asset position and also having adequate available cash flow

4.3 – RESERVES 

Financial assets revaluation reserve 
This reserve includes the cumulative net change in the fair value of investments designated as at FVOCI from 1 July 2020, and 
the cumulative net change in the fair value of investments previously classified available-for-sale financial assets. Amounts 
are recognised in the Income Statement when the associated assets are sold or impaired. 

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.

4.4 – LOANS, BORROWINGS AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. 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.

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.

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.

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:

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:

         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”).

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

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.

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

(894)

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.

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

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.

5.2 – SUBSIDIARIES 

Accounting policy 
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable 
returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The 
financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  included  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  from  the  date  on  which  control 
commences until the date on which control ceases. 

Intra-Group balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-Group 
transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial report.

5.3 – INTERESTS IN OTHER ENTITIES 

Accounting policy 
Interests in equity accounted investees 
The Group’s interests in equity accounted investees comprise interests in associates and interests in joint ventures. 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

This section explains the remuneration of executives and other employees, and transactions with related parties 
including directors. 

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.

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. The fair value of each performance right is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial tree model for 
those rights that have EPS hurdles, and a Monte Carlo simulation model for those rights that have TSR hurdles with the following 
weighted average assumptions used for each grant: 

Dividend yield (per annum)

The expected life of the performance rights is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that 
may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may 
also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

6.1 – SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (continued) 

Executive Performance Share Plan 
Employees  who  received  awards  under  the  Executive  Performance  Share  Plan  were  those  of  a  senior  level  and  above.  An 
employee  awarded  performance  shares  was  not  legally  entitled  to  shares  in  the  Company  before  the  performance  shares 
allocated under the plan vest. However, the employee was able to vote and receive dividends in respect of shares allocated to 
them. Once the shares vested, which was dependent on the Group achieving its EPS and TSR targets, they remained in the trust 
until the earliest of the employee leaving the Group, the seventh anniversary (for grants made from 2010) or the 10th anniversary 
(for grants made from 2007 to 2009) of the date the performance shares were awarded, or the date the Board approved an 
application for their release. There was no consideration for award, vesting and exercise under the plan. The performance period 
was three years.  

Set out below are summaries of performance shares awarded under the plan:

7.1 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 

Personal injury and other claims 
The nature of the Group’s operations results in personal injury and other claims being received from time to time. The directors 
believe that the outcome of any current claims outstanding, which are not provided against in the financial statements, will not 
have a significant impact on the operating result of the Group in future reporting periods. 

The directors are of the opinion that provisions are not required in respect of these matters, as it is not probable that a future 
sacrifice of economic benefits will be required or the amount is not capable of reliable measurement at balance date.

7.5 – EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE 

Lockdowns occurring within certain geographic areas of Australia and New Zealand 
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.

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.
