Within the Energy & Utilities sector,  
the focus of our customers varies  
across the world.

In the North American region, our reputation as  
a strategic leader for customers in the emerging 
high-value community solar space continues 
to build. The investment by public and private 
companies is unprecedented as the demand for, 
and focus on, renewables to both curb rising living 
costs and help address climate change challenges 
continues at pace. In Europe, our investment in 
Meter & Energy and Trade and Insight modules 
continues to be well received. In the past year, many 
multi-geography customers have undertaken initial 
projects with us in one market, and quickly signed 
on for further projects across multiple markets 
and multiple modules of our Hansen Suite for 
Energy & Utilities as the energy customers navigate 
the implications of the deregulated and highly 
competitive energy environment.

Our tightness with our customers has 
enabled us to align closely with our 
Communications & Media customers 
around the focus in their worlds on 
5G, IoT and Cloud transformations. 

This has resulted in strong momentum in the 
upgrades of many clients to the latest version  
of our Communications & Media modules, 
including many who have chosen to embrace  
our SaaS and cloud-native versions. These 
customers are quickly realising benefits that are 
helping take them to the next level in terms of their 
seamless service delivery and speed to market.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022CHAIRPERSON AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER JOINT REPORT

We are pleased to present the Annual Report for 
Hansen Technologies Limited for financial year 
ended 30 June 2022 (FY22).

During these uncertain times where we have navigated global 
challenges never experienced before, Hansen is incredibly  
proud to deliver its results for FY22.

These solid underlying results, and our overall strong financial 
position, are a direct result of our people and their passion and 
commitment. Without them and their deep knowledge of the 
customers we serve, alongside our modular suite of products 
and solutions, we would not be able to consistently deliver value 
to them and to you, our shareholders. It is this combination that 
continues to power our ability to help our customers create and 
deliver new and engaging customer and service experiences 
across the Communications, Media & Energy sectors, and in  
turn create strong and ongoing shareholder value.

Last year, as we marked the Company’s 50th anniversary,  
we reiterated our continued confidence in our business strategy 
and our people in helping create success for our customers  
and shareholders. 

We are delighted to share that in this last 12-month period 
we closed our largest ever new customer win with Exelon 
Corporation, the largest utility company in North America.  
This new significant win, among a range of other new wins 
and organic growth successes related to 5G, IoT, Cloud 
transformation and the emerging energy industry, has helped 
Hansen forge ahead into new and expanding growth markets.

To support this growth, we have increased our talent pool  
in our development and delivery areas of excellence across 
Argentina, Vietnam and India. This has been achieved despite 
the challenges the industry has faced with the shortage of 
talented resources.

As Hansen progresses into its future, we continue to invest in 
advancing our products and solutions. This last year was our 
most significant year in terms of investing in our suite of products 
and solutions, as we supported many of our customers with 
their digital transformations. Hansen’s approach of consistently 
putting our customers at the centre of our thinking enables  
us to anticipate and power their journeys into the future.

As we closed the year, we are working towards achieving status 
of Carbon Neutral Certified for our operations in Australia by 
Climate Active. This focus on supporting a world where we lessen 
our negative impacts on the environment and focus on what 
positive impacts we can make is a journey that we will share 
more on in the coming 12 months.

Our Strategy

At Hansen, our vision and promise to our customers is simple 
– it’s about helping our customers traverse the challenges and 
opportunities of today’s markets. We take on the complex and 
deliver software solutions that solve business-critical problems, 
supporting our customers for growth. We do this by partnering 
closely with them to understand their businesses and the 
expectations of their customers to help compete beyond  
the delivery of basic energy and communications services.

    Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022How we deliver this is through a combination of three  
key focuses:

•  we continue to leverage our global experience and expertise;

•  we continue to invest in and evolve our offerings to ensure  
our customers’ technical journeys are on point, and cost-
effective; and

•  we continue to explore how we can enter new markets  

and new market segments, diversify our customer base  
and potentially expand into new industry verticals. 

Our emphasis on strong execution against this strategy has 
resulted in another very positive year for Hansen. 

Our financial strength continues to be bolstered by our  
customer-first focus and our strong recurring revenue model. 
This, coupled with the positive momentum across our business, 
only helps reinforce the confidence we have in Hansen and our 
future outlook. 

Year in Review

The ongoing strength of our performance comes in part from 
the highly predictable revenues that afford strong business 
resilience. Yet we don’t take these for granted.

While it is challenging for customers to shift and change what 
many consider to be mission-critical infrastructure, it is a reality 
we don’t dismiss lightly. 

This is where the value of our people and their technology  
and sector knowledge shines through, along with our 
commitment to continually invest in our Hansen Suite for  
Energy & Communications. Our aim is to have long-term 
partnerships with all our customers, and we are delighted  
that many of these are now in the multi-decade era. 

This tightness with our customers has enabled us to align 
closely with our Communications and Media customers around 
the focus in their worlds on 5G, IoT and Cloud transformations. 
This has resulted in strong momentum in the upgrades of many 
clients to the latest version of our Communications and Media 

modules, including many who have chosen to embrace our SaaS 
and Cloud-native versions. These customers are quickly realising 
benefits that are helping take them to the next level in terms of 
their seamless service delivery and speed to market.

Within the Energy & Utilities sector, the focus of our customers 
varies across the world. In the North American region, our 
reputation as a strategic leader for customers in the emerging 
high-value community solar space continues to build. The 
investment by public and private companies is unprecedented 
as the demand for, and focus on, renewables to both curb rising 
living costs and to help address climate change challenges 
continues at pace. As even more political and consumer 
pressure is applied to this sustainability space, Hansen is  
well placed to play a central role and bring these benefits  
back to shareholders.

In Europe, our investment in Meter & Energy and Trade and 
Insight modules continues to be well received. In the past year, 
many multi-geography customers have undertaken initial projects 
with us in one market, and quickly signed on for further projects 
across multiple markets and multiple modules of our Hansen 
Suite for Energy & Utilities as the energy customers navigate  
the implications of the deregulated and highly competitive  
energy environment.

Customer-Centric Lens to Solutions, Development 
and Investment Cements Long-Term Relationships
In the past year, the focus on the customer and their worlds 
continued to be central to the priorities of the evolving solutions 
and our investments.

Increased competition for our customers from traditional and 
non-traditional arenas, coupled with the headwinds from political, 
environmental and consumer landscapes, is challenging them 
to closely assess their infrastructure environments and their 
business-critical solutions. Time to market with data, insights and 
new offerings remains a key competitive lever for all customers, 
regardless of their sector, and the end experience of consumers 
(frictionless, fast, unexpected in offerings) is paramount to their 
ability to compete and retain customers (or win new customers).

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022CHAIRPERSON AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER JOINT REPORT  CONTINUED

To date, none of the opportunities we assessed have met our 
expectations. That said, we have a rich pipeline that we continue 
to explore as we seek to build the Hansen family.

Strong, Profitable and Cash-Generative Year
We are pleased to once again see solid underlying organic 
growth in the business. When the Telefonica licence revenue  
for FY21 is adjusted, we have grown from an FY21 base revenue 
of $286.7 million to $296.5 million in FY22. 

Financials

The Group’s financial performance this year has been solid 
across all financial metrics. Excluding the recognition of a one-off 
$21m Telefonica licence fee in FY21, the FY22 result is particularly 
pleasing and highlights solid organic growth.

(1)   The Directors believe the information additional to IFRS measures 

included in the report is relevant and useful in measuring the financial 
performance of the Group. These include: EBITDA, NPATA and EPSa.

(2)   EBITDA is a non-IFRS term, defined as earnings before interest, tax, 

depreciation and amortisation and excluding net foreign exchange gains 
(losses). 

(3)   NPATA is a non-IFRS term, defined as net profit after tax, excluding tax-

effected amortisation of acquired intangibles. 

(4)   Underlying EBITDA, underlying NPAT and underlying NPATA exclude 

separately disclosed items, which represent one-off costs and income 
during the period. Further details of the separately disclosed items are 
outlined in Note 4 to the Financial Report.

The underlying EBITDA margin was 33.8%, slightly down on the 
previous year (excluding Telefonica). In light of the challenges 
presented by a global talent shortage and inflationary pressures, 
the underlying EBITDA margin for the full year is a particularly 
robust result.

This solid financial performance is further underpinned by the 
Group’s ability to generate cash flow from operations, which was 
$91.2 million and free cash flow of $63.7 million after adjusting 
for the repayment of lease liabilities. Hansen’s ability to generate 
cash in the current environment further underscores the strength 
it has, enabling it to invest in its products and fund acquisitions.

In the past 10-plus years, we have consistently delivered EBITDA 
margins greater than 25%. And this year, we are proud to report 
this is no exception.

“ AS EVEN MORE POLITICAL AND 
CONSUMER PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO 
THIS SUSTAINABILITY SPACE, HANSEN 
IS WELL PLACED TO PLAY A CENTRAL 
ROLE AND BRING THESE BENEFITS   
BACK TO SHAREHOLDERS.”

We have continued in our conversion to cloud-native technologies 
and SaaS-based structures to meet the growing demands of our 
customers. We have also invested significantly in ensuring our 
modules at least meet, if not exceed, the expectations around 
being standards-based. This is of particular importance in the 
Communications and Media sector.

Today all modules within our Communications & Media offering 
have cloud-native and SaaS options, and we are well-progressed 
in our plans to deliver the same for our modules in the Hansen 
Suite for Energy and Utilities. This provides our current and future 
customers with more flexibility as they navigate their own paths 
for their future-state needs and infrastructure requirements.

This focus is proving itself as the right one for Hansen and  
its shareholders. The predictability of revenue continues as  
we demonstrate our value as a long-term partner to our 
customers – yet this is just a component of our overall story.  
This focus has resulted in marquee customer wins and success 
as we both demonstrated and helped our customers upgrade 
and embark on significant customer transformation journeys 
resulting in an expansion of the Hansen Suite modules to  
power their core business.

Customers share with us time and time again that they come  
to us (and remain with us) because of the confidence they  
have in our solutions, and the trust they place in our people 
to partner with them on often complex and challenging 
transformation initiatives. 

Exploration into New Verticals and Growth  
Arenas Continues
The Company is well positioned to make acquisitions, should  
the right opportunities be presented. Over the past year, the 
pipeline of opportunities has continued to be robust, yet the 
Company continues to be very selective around targets that  
have the potential to continue our history of delivering value-
accretive growth through acquisition. 

In the FY22 year, we explored a number of opportunities and 
also expanded our investigation into parallel yet complementary 
verticals where our current expertise and modules might fit and 
where technology products could benefit our customers in new 
and different ways.

Investing in our Future: Building out the Best People 
and Culture Environment 
As Hansen has over 1,500 staff working in over 20 countries 
globally, there is no doubt that the enforced lockdowns and 
different ways of working have brought a myriad of challenges 
to the employment market. At Hansen, we value our people and 
work with them to understand what they need to do to deliver 
great outcomes and have rewarding careers with us. These last 
12 months have seen us evolve and change a number of our 
policies to help provide an environment where our people feel 
connected and engaged and have choice and flexibility as to 
where they work.

We have purposefully not mandated a return to office; rather we 
have embraced the hybrid way of working as the Hansen Way 
Forward. We will continue to offer our people connection hubs 
(increasingly newer and evolved offices in more locations) to 
come together and work, collaborate and engage. Yet we firmly 
believe that by taking a more flexible approach we will retain 
more of our people and open up the opportunities to attract the 
best talent to our growing business from wherever they chose  
to live and work from.

As we navigate these early days of the new ways of working, 
we are trialling a range of new initiatives, designed to enhance 
communication, collaboration and engagement. We are 
embracing all of our communications channels to bring  
our people closer together and continue that strong sense  
of family that has long made Hansen the company it is today.

One initiative to highlight is our 50 Acts of Impact, conceived to 
both mark our 50th year of business and to help bring our people 
together and give back in local ways to causes and initiatives that 
matter to them. This has been positively received with individuals, 
teams and the entire Company getting behind different Acts. We 
are proud to share that we are well on the way to achieving our 
50 Acts by the end of the calendar year.

These changes we are making are all part of our long-term 
strategy to continue to be a positive destination for our people. 
Like with our customers, we aim to partner with our people for  
the long term. We are looking forward to enabling more people  
to experience this aspect of Hansen as we continue to expand.

Hansen is confident in our ability to continue to grow and evolve 
both our product and solution offerings and our customer portfolio. 
We have a strong talent pool that is a good balance of very senior 
and experienced professionals, and younger yet highly passionate 
and talented emerging leaders and professionals.

The sectors we currently serve – the Energy & Utilities and the 
Communications & Media sectors – are two sectors whose 
essential nature of services helps make them, and us, somewhat 
recession-proof. Rather it is the pressures they face from 
emerging competitors, on the political and consumer fronts and 
the ongoing health and conflict challenges, that necessitate that 
they must continue to transform at pace.Our tight integration 
with their business-critical technologies, coupled with our deep 
vertical and technology expertise, ensures we are well placed  
to continue strongly in these sectors.

While there continue to be ongoing challenges with global 
inflation, wage pressure and talent acquisition, Hansen has a 
strong track record of both tightly managing a global cost base 
and retaining talent. We are well placed for the coming years.

As we continue to explore new growth opportunities, we have 
great confidence in the ability of our solutions to bring value  
to other sectors and for us to simultaneously gain value from  
the solutions that complementary sectors draw on and bring 
these back to our customers. This is a space we will continue  
to actively explore through the FY23 year.

To close, our strong balance sheet, our ability to continue 
to generate cash, and our steadfast focus on creating and 
delivering evolved solutions are enabling us to do all we want to 
do. Importantly, it is culminating in us continuing to deliver value  
– value to our people, our customers and our shareholders. 

We are immensely proud of our continued ability to strongly 
navigate the headwinds that the past two years have  
presented and we look forward to sharing further updates  
on our momentum in the coming months.

“ DURING FY22, HANSEN STARTED ON 
OUR JOURNEY TO BECOME CARBON 
NEUTRAL INITIALLY FOCUSING ON OUR 
AUSTRALIAN OPERATIONS WHERE   
THE COMPANY IS HEADQUARTERED.”

8

    Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen is a global business that aims to  
always operate sustainably, make wise business 
decisions that help support our planet’s future, 
and support our communities and our people  
to thrive.

CEO Message

Since our beginnings more than 50 years ago, Hansen has 
focused on long-term sustainability and success. We are  
a global provider of software and services to the energy,  
water and communications industries. With our award-winning 
software suite, we help more than 600 customers in over  
80 countries to create and deliver new products and services, 
engage with customers, and control and manage critical  
revenue management and customer support processes.

While Hansen’s operations do not have a material impact  
on the environment, we acknowledge the science of climate  
change and are committed to operating in the most  
sustainable manner possible. 

For us, sustainability spans not just our environmental footprint 
and impact, but also how we operate to support and grow  
our people, our customers and our communities to help deliver  
more sustainable futures across all key facets. And all of this  
is underpinned by strong governance.

In this, our inaugural report, we have focused on our customers, 
partners, people and communities and the environment. 
Governance we have outlined independently on our website.

I am proud to share a range of positive initiatives that we already 
have underway that are impacting our people, customers and 
communities. These include expanded flexibility opportunities 
for our talent pool, to our Acts of Impact program and our 
commitment to hire people wherever they are in the world, 
reducing the reliance on being solely in major cities.

During FY22, Hansen started on our journey to become carbon 
neutral initially focusing on our Australian operations, where  
the Company is headquartered. Shortly following the close  
of the fiscal year, the company announced its investment  
in a renewable energy project in India, and the Australian 
operation was certified as carbon neutral by the Climate  
Active Organisation. 

We intend to continue to seek continuous improvement,  
year on year, in the scope of our reporting.

I am delighted to share this inaugural report to our stakeholders, 
and we invite you to join us on our journey. 

Formalising the Framework for our Sustainability 
Journey 

The industries we support and the geographies where our people 
are located have meant that as a Company, we have always 
been focused on the broadest definition of sustainability.

As this report is our inaugural formal report, it is a baseline that 
will help formulate the initial stages of our journey into a more 
structured and measurable framework that will include setting 
targets and reporting outcomes. 

In developing this report, we have applied a combination  
of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) 
framework for the Software & IT Services industry under the 
standards for the Technology & Communications sector,  
and the Global Reporting Institute’s Universal Sustainability 
Reporting Standards (GRI Standards) to analyse Hansen’s 
current position. The SASB framework is an industry-specific 
framework and was predominantly applied to assess 
environmental and social factors in this report. 

This year Hansen has collected and analysed information  
for our headquarters in Australia. What we have learned is  
that Hansen’s main carbon-emitting activities relate to our 
corporate offices and travel between our offices and those  
of our customers.

We expect, as our processes become more established,  
to commence reporting on a more global and detailed basis. 

Our intentions for next year’s report include:

•  extending the collection of information across more of our 

global operations;

•  reviewing all our material sustainability risk areas; and

•  commencing a review process of the targets in these areas. 

In terms of our initial initiatives to reduce our social and 
environmental impacts, we are focusing on: 

•  Ensuring the workspaces we choose to offer for our people 

should they elect to work from an office:

 – are energy efficient within the building and facilities;

 – provide for waste minimisation through recycling  

(and e-recycling), waste separation and paperless-first 
policies where practical;

 – are located close to central public transport options, bicycle, 

running and walking paths; and 

 – offer quality end-of-trip facilities to encourage less carbon-

intensive travel to and from offices.

•  Embracing technology-first inter-office and client connection 

and collaboration: 

 – making access to a range of positive and easy-to-use 
technology a natural part of our hybrid way of working  
to help minimise unnecessary travel; and 

 – where travel is undertaken, we will always assess the carbon 
emissions programs of the transportation companies that 
are options for us.

•  Enhancing our procurement processes to consider climate 

impacts in purchasing.

Our Environment: Reducing our Impacts and  
Supporting Future Positive Impacts

Long before Hansen took steps to formally map out a framework 
and metrics for sustainability and an overall approach to ESG, 
the Company and its people had been operating with an 
environmental conscience.

To help offset carbon emissions produced by the Company, 
Andrew Hansen has been personally planting around 2,000  
trees on his land each year. Our offices have always been 
selected in locations that are close to public transport hubs.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) REPORT  CONTINUED

An Early Look at our Environmental Initiatives

Hansen’s Hybrid way of Working: Embracing  
Technology First

As the world began to emerge from lockdowns and mandates  
for people to work from home, Hansen made a conscious 
decision not to mandate that its people return to offices for  
the vast majority of its roles.

This decision came through a combination of understanding 
how our people wanted to work into the future, to maintain the 
lifestyle, balance and wellbeing that not commuting and being  
in big offices provided them, coupled with considerations around 
the environmental impact benefits by not demanding our people 
transport themselves into offices.

This reduction of travel to the office extends to a much-reduced 
expectation of our people to travel between our offices and to 
our customers. As a Company, we have continued to embrace 
a technology-first approach to meetings and connections – 
leveraging the advancements made in video technology to 
communicate and collaborate.

Where we are having people travel, more conscious decisions 
around the choice of transport providers, accommodation  
and the like are being made.

Evolving our Office Offerings 

Over the past 12 months it became apparent that the office 
spaces that we had to accommodate our full complement of 
people would not be required. We have undertaken an audit to 
understand what flexibility we have with current leases and where 
we can move to smaller and more environmentally advanced 
spaces with conscious considerations to proximity to transport 
options, walking and cycling pathways and advanced facilities  
for people.

In Australia we have opened a small central office and are in the 
process of assessing the needs across our Australian operation. 
Similar work is in train in other locations around the world.

As we assess these offices, we are looking at the lighting,  
the heating and cooling options, and what we can do to reduce 
our overall impacts with recycling, energy choices of building 
provider, encouraging our people to print as a last resort, 
and much more. We aim to align with local and international 
certifications for environmental and healthy buildings. 

Assessing our Suppliers 

A number of our customers still require access to datacentres.  
As we either move to third parties or review our own, we  
are looking at how we can support a greener approach  
to datacentre decisions. For example, selecting the most  
energy-efficient datacentres, constantly reviewing emerging 
and new technologies, and helping our customers be more 
considerate in their business decisions.

And by nature of the sectors we support and being in the industry 
of software development, we are always looking ahead at how 
our work can support a more sustainable operation and future  
for our customers and their customers.

Taking Steps to Becoming Carbon Neutral
At Hansen, we are committed to operating into the longer term 
globally as a carbon neutral business. We recognise with the 
complexity of our many operations that this is not an overnight 
initiative, and that there are many facets to influencing our  
carbon emissions and how to offset those where we can’t 
eliminate them fully. 

With this in mind, we are exploring a phased approach,  
which commenced in FY22, with the initial focus on our  
Australian operation.

FY21 Australia Carbon Emissions 

5,564.42 tCO2-e

Total

Energy Consumption

19% 18%

Renewables

Conventional 
(AU only, FY21)

As we are a growing business, this may mean that over time  
our net carbon emissions don’t reduce significantly, but our  
FTE emissions do. For transparency we will provide both  
metrics in future reporting.

When the FY22 closed, Hansen was in the process of finalising 
its carbon neutral status for Australia as disclosed above with 
Climate Active certification. To complete this, the Company 
needed to invest in a project that would offset its emissions.  
As this report went to print, we can confirm we have received  
this certification for Australia with details of our investments 
outlined below.

As we move forward, we will expand the program to both 
continue to reduce our emissions and build on investments.

    Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Carbon Offset Program: Project One – Wind and Hydro  
in India

As Hansen set about exploring options to invest in projects to 
offset our carbon emissions, the company had some key criteria:

•  We wanted to focus our efforts in countries where our people 

live and work from.

•  We wanted to invest in projects or initiatives that would 

help our people and customers be able to consume more 
environmentally friendly energy in the future.

For our initial offset projects, Hansen has selected two projects in 
India where around one quarter of our people live and work from. 
One is a wind power project in Andhra Pradesh and the other is a 
hydroelectric project in the Kinnaur District in Himachal Pradesh.

Both these projects support local communities reduce  
their reliance on fossil-fuels and help provide new forms  
of employment and the wider economic benefits that result.

Next Steps 
While many of these initiatives are in play, formalising this into  
a framework with plans and metrics is the next step.

We will continue to explore how we can leverage the data we 
have to offer our customers opportunities to further improve our 
software and solutions that in turn help their customers reduce 
their impact on the environment.

Our Customers, Partners, People and  
Communities (Social)

Our Customers
Through the nature of our software and the solutions we develop, 
we help our customers operate more efficiently and in turn to 
effectively lessen their demand on global resources. We support 
them and their journeys in a range of ways from the expert 
counsel and skills of our people to the thought leadership  
and next-gen thinking as together we all plan into the future.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) REPORT  CONTINUED

“ AVERAGE 10+ YEARS CUSTOMER 
RELATIONSHIPS; LESS THAN 2% 
CUSTOMER CHURN”

We take pride in our long-term relationships, many of which  
multi-decade and on average at least 10 years. In the past  
year we have experienced less than 2% customer loss. 

Data Privacy and Security

We believe using data responsibly is in everyone’s interest 
including our customers, our advisers, our suppliers, our 
partners and our people. Our software development practices 
demand that we embed the highest possible security protection 
mechanisms in our software, and we have a rigorous testing 
process to ensure that our security measures are upheld and 
provide the right protection for our customers and their data  
into the longer term.

With this laser focus on security and data privacy, our customers 
trust us to use their data with care and respect.

Supporting our development process is a robust range of 
policies that our people comply with, including the Hansen 
Privacy Policy, Security Policy and Record Retention Policy. 

Anyone with access to Hansen systems is required to undertake 
privacy training, to understand what personal data is and 
what we can all do to help protect it, and is required to pass 
an assessment on completion of training as a condition of 
accessing our systems. Our people are required to complete  
this annually.

We did not have any notifications to the regulators of privacy 
incidents during FY22.

Our People

Talent Attraction  

Our talent attraction strategy varies from region to region with  
one important common thread – we focus on hiring the best 
person for the position and the business regardless of whether  
it is a graduate job or an experienced hire. The introduction of  
our permanent hybrid way of working means that we are no 
longer restricted to cities and countries, and we openly welcome 
our people regardless of their proximity to our office hubs to 
ensure our people and our clients get to benefit from the best 
possible talent.

We are also conscious of our responsibility in helping build the 
next generation of technology and business leaders. We are 
proud to share that in the past fiscal year we have welcomed 
to the Hansen family 60 graduates. They are all on a structured 
program of development and will help us build our capability 
while providing valuable experiences to fresh graduates in 
countries including India and Vietnam. 

Employee Engagement and Culture 

We are an organisation that believes that continually seeking 
to understand our employees’ needs is vital to mutual success 
– particularly in the wake of COVID-19 and navigating the 
next normal. We embrace a range of tools to listen and seek 
input, including our annual engagement survey and various 
pulse-check surveys, which we run throughout the year. We 
were pleased to see that our last survey represented a very 
strong employee voice, with an 82% response rate. Despite 
the challenges of COVID-19 and other political and economic 
uncertainties, 70% of our people indicated positive engagement, 
83% indicated positive inclusivity sentiment and 80% indicated 
positive sentiment around wellbeing. 

“ 70% OF OUR PEOPLE INDICATED 
POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT, 83% INDICATED 
POSITIVE INCLUSIVITY SENTIMENT AND 
80% INDICATED POSITIVE SENTIMENT 
AROUND WELLBEING. ”

We work hard to bring our people together across our markets 
and cultures. A core element of this is through storytelling using  
our internal engagement platforms and external social media. 
Our people share on their career journeys, how they have 
overcome challenges and embraced opportunities, we showcase 
hobbies, pastimes, and family life and help create greater 
understanding and inclusion by sharing cultural moments. 

We host around eight CEO townhalls each year hosted by 
Andrew Hansen. These are an opportunity for our CEO and key 
leaders to keep connected with our people and ensure regular 
strategic business updates, and celebrations are appropriately 
shared, along with a live Q&A and a fireside chat on pertinent 
strategic focuses. For the majority of the FY22 year, these were 
conducted virtually, alternating the time zones so that people 
could join at least two of every three in their business day, and  
we recorded them for those who couldn’t make the live sessions. 
Where travel had been possible, our CEO conducted these from 
an onsite office and broadcasted simultaneously. 

Globally and locally, we celebrate key cultural events on the 
calendar. These have continued to run virtually where people 
have been restricted from gathering in person. And following  
the return to the potential for them to be in person, we always 
offer the option of virtual and in-person to people to help  
continue to build the connection and inclusion regardless  
of location or working preference.

    Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Gender Ratio

31% 69%

Female

Male

Diversity

As a business in the high-tech space, we are very pleased to say 
that our gender ratio is 31% per cent female and 69% per cent 
male. We have worked very hard to bring this up from a 25:75 
ratio and it is a continued focus for us, despite the shortage of 
female IT talent across the industry. 

Across our business, we have Hansen employees in more than 
20 countries, fluent in more than 60 languages. It is this level of 
diversity that we believe is a competitive advantage and an asset 
to our customers. It means we have local people supporting local 
customers, our people translate effortlessly across cultures and 
geographies, and our people can connect, collaborate and grow 
from continually engaging with global colleagues and experts.

Learning and Development 

Providing our people not only with career paths, but also 
development opportunities is critical to ensuring that not  
only are they aligned with the business, but that they remain 
motivated and driven towards innovation. 

This starts with our comprehensive onboarding program, where 
we allow all our new family members time to immerse into our 
business, ‘meet’ our key leaders and get to know the Company 
and its vision and values along with our products and solutions.

For all people we have our annual mandatory trainings and 
refreshers to ensure everyone remains compliant around data, 
security, privacy and our Company values. And we have been 
systematically working with our people managers to ensure 
our people have individual goals and plans, which identify key 
learning goals to ensure they keep developing professionally  
and personally.

In addition to our custom-developed trainings, which are  
often product or technology-specific, such as our digital 
certifications and badges, all our employees have access  
to an online learning portal with more than 13,000 courses 
ranging from IT and technology courses to professional  
skills and other interest topics. Through FY22, our people 
undertook and completed more than 8,500 courses across  
all our learning platforms and opportunities. We firmly believe  
that learning people are growing people, and that is key to  
our continued success.  

Retention and Embracing New Ways of Working

As the world has changed over the last two years, we have 
pivoted our talent model, putting the employee at the centre  
of how we operate, and how and where they would like to work  
– individualising the work experience. 

This year, we announced that we will not be mandating a 
‘back-to-office’ policy, but instead inviting our people to attend 
their local offices (or connection hubs) as and when they feel 
comfortable. To support this, we have a calendar of events  
taking place in offices to encourage team connections and  
we are committed to opening offices in more centralised 
locations, closer to commuting hubs, with breakout spaces  
to facilitate easier collaboration. 

We continue to celebrate globally the milestone anniversaries  
of our people – in FY22 we had six anniversaries of more than  
30 years of service, and many more spanning five, 10, 15, 20  
and 25 years.

13

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) REPORT  CONTINUED

Our people are encouraged to continually recognise their 
colleagues for initiatives or efforts aligned to our values, and 
monthly winners are celebrated globally.

In supporting our people to live and work from anywhere, often 
where technology jobs are usually not available, we are helping 
expand opportunities into new regions and do our small part to 
support local economies. 

We are continuing to assess and evolve our benefits and 
employee value proposition (EVP), to align and reconfigure our 
support system around wellness and mental health, ensuring that 
we provide all the support we can to allow people to bring their 
best selves to work – and live their best lives. 

Responsible Business
As a business we are proud to be guided by our Hansen values. 
These values are the foundation of how we behave and interact 
with our colleagues, our customers, suppliers, shareholders and 
other stakeholders. Together our values reflect the priorities of the 
business and provide guidance in our decision-making. 

We have a Code of Conduct that all our people commit to  
on joining and a range of other interacting policies. Together  
these align with our values to ensure that we observe the  
highest standards of fair dealing, honesty and integrity in  
our business activities. 

Additionally, we have in place a Modern Slavery Policy to ensure 
that we, together with our employees and suppliers, respect  
and promote human rights and contribute towards eradicating 
modern slavery. 

We are committed to the continued evolution of this policy  
and the underlying systems and controls to ensure that modern 
slavery practices are not taking place anywhere in our operations 
and supply chains. In FY23 we are looking to include our partners 
within the scope of our modern slavery program, alongside  
our current considerations of our people and suppliers.

Beyond our values and policies, Hansen is committed to 
continually exploring how we can evolve the operation of our 
business, from embracing a more paperless environment,  
where we source our energy, and what further benefits cloud and 
technology can help us deliver. This translates into not just what 
we invest in R&D for our customers and future software solutions, 
but also into how we can better operate overall as a business 
across all metrics that make up ESG and overall sustainability.

Positively Impacting our Communities
As a Company of individuals, many of us are already actively 
giving back through volunteering and other forms of giving on  
a personal level. As a Company we have supported Médecins 
sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) for some years.

As we marked our 50 years of business, we conceived what we 
have called our 50 Acts of Impact. This initiative recognises the 
global diversity of our people, the communities we live in, and  
the different needs and impacts we can help impact. Acts of 
Impact was purposefully designed to welcome and encourage 
our people to make a meaningful, long-lasting and purposeful 
impact in our local communities and, where practical, to the  
global society. This is running through the 2022 calendar year.

14

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022“ ACTS OF IMPACT WAS PURPOSEFULLY DESIGNED 
TO WELCOME AND ENCOURAGE OUR PEOPLE 
TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL, LONG-LASTING 
AND PURPOSEFUL IMPACT IN OUR LOCAL 
COMMUNITIES AND, WHERE PRACTICAL,   
TO THE GLOBAL SOCIETY.”

To date we have had individuals and teams across the globe 
contribute Acts of Impact – many inspired by family members’ 
circumstances or causes they believe strongly in. These range 
from fundraising for paediatric cancer research, running a half 
marathon for pancreatic cancer, and raising funds for vulnerable 
children in India and for the Ukraine. 

We’ve had people cycling around Spain raising money  
for medically related charities, the Great Hansen Haircut,  
a book drive to get books into remote and poor schools and 
communities in Vietnam, a science day to inspire the next  
generation of scientists and STEM leaders, collections of 
blankets and jackets for the homeless, clean-up days in  
parks and reserves, donations of blood to supplement low  
blood banks… the list goes on, and with many more still  
to come.

The initiative will culminate with all our Acts being put in a virtual 
hat, and one Act being drawn out. The people behind this Act  
get to select a charity or cause where a corporate donation  
will be made. We anticipate this will take place in late 2022.

(1)  The Directors believe the information additional to IFRS measures included in the report is relevant and useful in measuring the financial performance of the Group. 

These include: EBITDA, NPATA and EPSa. These measures have been defined in the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer’s Joint Report on page 6.

(2)  Underlying net profit after tax attributable to members excludes separately disclosed items and acquired amortisation (net of tax). Further details of the 

separately disclosed items are outlined in Note 4 to the Financial Report.

In 2022 the business delivered another set of impressive results following on from the successful 2021 year. Further details on the 
Group’s results are outlined in the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer’s Joint Report on page 4.

The Group’s revenue for the financial year was $296.5 million which was a decline versus 2021. However, excluding the impact of the 
Telefonica one‑off licence revenue recognised in FY21, the organic growth rate for the business was 3.4%.

There were several notable new logo wins in the year, with the largest deal in Hansen’s history closed in the financial year.

The Group has generated operating cash flows of $91.2 million, which has been used to retire net external debt of $34.0 million,  
fund our ongoing product development program of $15.6 million and pay dividends of $22.4 million (net of dividend reinvestments).  
With the Group’s cash generation capabilities, Hansen remains well placed to continue to acquire mature, predictable businesses  
in the energy and communications sectors.

The continued challenges of COVID‑19 were managed with care throughout the business and the introduction of flexible working 
arrangements were well received by Hansen employees. The Board and Management continue to place great emphasis on the  
health and safety of all employees.

Billing segment
The Billing segment represents a major part of the Group’s business operations, delivering $289.0 million of revenue in 2022  
(2021: $299.6 million), which translates into a 3.5% decline. Segment profit before tax was $53.6 million in 2022 (2021: $74.5 million), 
representing a 28.1% decrease.

Other activities
Segment revenues from other activities was $7.6 million in 2022 (2021: $8.1 million), representing a 6.2% decrease for the year.  
This 6.2% decrease in revenues resulted from an expected reduction in business activity associated with the Customer Care call centre. 
Segment profit before tax was $1.7 million for 2022 (2021: $0.9 million), representing an 88.9% increase for the year.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
There have been no significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs during the financial year.

18

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Subsequent events
No matters have arisen between the end of the financial year and the date of this report that have significantly affected or may 
significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in future years.

Opportunities and business risks
The business remains committed to increasing shareholder value while managing the risk profile of the Group.

The Energy and Communications markets continue to evolve and with this change comes complexity and opportunity.  
The Communications vertical is experiencing rapid progress in the roll‑out and adoption of 5G technology. Energy continues  
to develop new offerings and the continued roll‑out of green energy initiatives. Both verticals continue to develop enhanced  
digital platforms to deliver a satisfactory customer experience.

To ensure we deliver on our strategic objectives, the Group continues to operate an Enterprise Risk Management Framework 
that actively identifies, controls, plans and mitigates a wide array of risks across functions and geographies and seeks to unlock 
opportunities to gain a competitive advantage.

Risks identified include, but are not limited to, the following:

•  Security or data incidents: As a technology‑focused business, managing security and protecting customer data are essential. 
To manage the risk of damaging security incidents, we have appropriate data management, security and compliance policies, 
procedures and practices in place.

•  Loss of customers: While loss of customers due to market competition is a risk to the business, we manage this risk by ensuring  
we are focused on meeting our customers’ expectations for system performance and service delivery and by diversifying our 
customer base across industry sectors around the world.

•  Decline in international market conditions: As a business with international operations, we have exposure to currency fluctuations, 

which we monitor and manage.

•  Investment opportunities: The Group has an active M&A program. Potential investments may carry execution and integration  
risks, and this is managed via maintaining a highly experienced M&A team with a proven track record of business integration  
and value generation.

•  Employee recruitment and retention: Our people are critical to the Group’s ongoing success. We manage risks to our employee base 
by focusing on our employee value proposition, offering competitive remuneration and benefits packages tailored to the market in 
which personnel are based.

We manage risks by regularly monitoring our market and global conditions to ensure our control environment and risk treatment plans 
respond to the risks faced by the business.

Outlook and likely developments for FY23
After the continued success of 2022, the Group continues to focus on the strategic pillars that drive shareholder value. These include 
our global diversification and acquisition strategy and our ongoing investment in product roadmap. We are also expanding our talent 
pool to deliver on existing and new client requirements.

The Board remains confident that the Hansen approach and strategy align with the long‑term goals of both the Company  
and shareholders.

As always, shareholders are kept abreast of any changes to our strategy or financial outlook as each year progresses.

Environmental regulations and climate change
The Group’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental Commonwealth or state regulations or laws. The Group is 
aware of the general risks associated with climate change and continues to be committed to operating sustainably. However, the 
Group’s operations are not significantly impacted by any environmental factors. In FY22, the Group worked towards achieving the 
status of Carbon Neutral Certified for the operations in Australia by Climate Active.

Corporate governance statement
Hansen and the Board are committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance.  
Hansen has reviewed its corporate governance practices against the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations  
(4th edition) published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council.

A description of the Group’s current corporate governance practices is set out in the Group’s corporate governance statement,  
which can be viewed at https://hansencx.com/about/investor‑relations.

Dividends paid and declared
A final dividend of 5 cents per share has been declared, partially franked to 1.5 cents per share, comprising of a regular  
dividend of 5 cents per share. The final dividend was announced to the market on 24 August 2022, with payment to be made  
on 21 September 2022.

The amount declared has not been recognised as a liability in the accounts of the Company as at 30 June 2022.

Dividends paid during the year, excluding dividends reinvested as part of the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP):

•  7 cents per share partially franked to 3.5 cents interim dividend paid on 21 March 2022, totalling $13,358,530; and

•  5 cents per share partially franked to 2.7 cents final dividend paid on 21 September 2021, totalling $9,081,474.

This is consistent with the Board’s capital management policy that balances growth through acquisitions against the payment of dividends.

Performance rights
Performance rights over shares may be issued to Key Management Personnel (KMP) as an incentive for motivating and rewarding 
performance as well as encouraging longevity of employment. The issuing of performance rights is intended to enhance the alignment 
of KMP with the primary shareholder objective of increasing shareholder value.

Performance rights over unissued ordinary shares granted by the Company during the financial year to the KMP as part of their 
remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2022 are as follows:

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022REMUNERATION REPORT

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Remuneration Report of the Group, consisting of Hansen  
Technologies Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities for the 2022 financial year.

The 2022 financial year has been another particularly strong performance for Hansen. With ongoing global uncertainty,  
the Hansen team continued to support our customers, win new business and manage costs accordingly.

While globally, organisations are experiencing challenges with talent acquisition and retention, it is with great pride that I can confirm our 
global management team has remained unchanged throughout the year. This is a reflection of both the culture and progressive nature 
of Hansen, as well as the Executive Remuneration Framework, which incentivises and recognises the efforts of our staff.

For the 2022 financial year, I am pleased to advise that all financial targets for the KMP were met. With regards to non‑financial targets, 
the KMP achieved between 83% and 100% of the objectives. As a result, Short‑Term Incentive (STI) cash‑component payments were 
awarded to our KMP against financial and non‑financial KPIs set for the year.

As we have concluded the 2022 financial year, the LTI program implemented on 2 September 2019 completed its measurement period 
of three years. I am pleased to report that with the exceptional EPSa CAGR growth of 19.3% and an outperformance for the ranked TSR 
criteria, both LTI hurdles have been achieved over the measurement period. These measures have qualified for acceleration and will 
be paid out at 143.50% of the entitlement (refer to Performance outcomes outlined on page 32). The achievement of these long‑term 
measurement targets has resulted in significant shareholder value.

The Board has made the decision in FY23 to continue the STI and LTI schemes without change. The 2023 LTI scheme has two 
measurement metrics measured over a three‑year period, revenue CAGR growth of 12.5% and relative Total Shareholder Return  
(ranked TSR). Further information about this incentive scheme is referenced on page 36 of this report.

The Board remains committed to the ongoing review of the Group’s remuneration framework to ensure it achieves its objectives  
of incentivising and rewarding performance that optimises business and shareholder value and ensuring the Company is well placed  
to attract, retain and motivate a talented executive team.

Yours sincerely,

David Howell 
Chair of the Remuneration Committee

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 20222.  Our remuneration framework

People are at the heart of the Group’s success, enabling us to deliver on our vision and long‑term goals. Our remuneration framework 
focuses on providing competitive fixed pay and variable pay that reward achievement of the Group’s annual objectives and long‑term 
growth in shareholder value.

Remuneration outcomes are aligned with both individual and Group performance, ensuring that employees are rewarded for overall 
Group achievement as well as their individual contribution to the Group’s success. This aligns remuneration to both individual 
performance and value creation for shareholders.

(a)  Remuneration governance
The Board annually reviews the Group’s remuneration principles, practices, strategy and approach to ensure they support the Group’s 
long‑term business strategy and are appropriate for a listed company of our size and nature.

The Board has delegated to the Remuneration Committee the responsibility for reviewing and making recommendations to the 
Board regarding compensation arrangements for the Directors, Executive KMP and the balance of the CEO’s direct reports. As at 
30 June 2022, the Remuneration Committee was made up of four Non‑Executive Directors: David Howell (Chair of the Remuneration 
Committee), Bruce Adams, Don Rankin and Lisa Pendlebury, the majority of whom are independent.

The CEO and other Directors attend meetings as required at the invitation of the Committee Chair.

The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of both the nature and amount of remuneration paid to the Executive  
and Non‑Executive KMP on an annual basis by reference to market conditions and current remuneration practices, with the overall 
objective of ensuring maximum Company performance and shareholder benefit from the retention of a quality Board and Executive 
team. The Committee also engages professional support as required to ensure remuneration practices remain in step with the market 
as well as the size and nature of the business.

TFR is determined with reference to available market data, the scope of an individual’s role and the qualifications and experience of 
the individual, as well as geographic location. TFR is reviewed annually to account for market movements and individual performance 
outcomes. See page 39 for a summary of Executive KMP contracts.

Non-financial KPIs  
(30% total STI)

Non‑financial KPIs are assessed and awarded up to a maximum of 100% based 
on specific outcomes.

Performance measures (KPIs) selected reflect financial, strategic and operational objectives relevant to  
the level and function of the role that are central to achievement of delivering the best possible outcome 
over the next 12 months given the current economic environment. Financial measures selected are 
measures against which management and the Board assess the short‑term financial performance of the 
Group. Strategic and operational objectives are assigned to each individual to drive specific outcomes 
considered to be of strategic importance to the Group within that individual’s level of responsibility. These 
objectives are determined by the CEO and the Board in accordance with the process set out on page 25.

The weightings for each performance measure that comprise the total STI opportunity are set out below:

The selection of non-financial 
KPIs varies depending on each 
KMP’s roles and responsibilities 
within the Group. These may 
include achievement of specific 
strategic projects that drive the 
best possible outcome over the 
next 12 months. Each KMP may 
have a number of separate non-
financial KPIs. Achievement of 
each individual’s non-financial 
KPIs is determined by reference 
to an assigned performance 
rating determined by the CEO 
and the Board at the end of the 
financial year in accordance 
with the process described  
on page 25.

any KMP if the target amount 
is not met for the Group

The Board retains final discretion over incentive payments to ensure outcomes appropriately reflect 
performance and achieve objectives of the executive incentive scheme.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022REMUNERATION REPORT  CONTINUED

What happens if  
an executive leaves?

If an eligible executive ceases employment with the Group during the performance period other than by 
way of dismissal or resignation (e.g., death, total and permanent disablement, redundancy, retrenchment  
or retirement with prior written consent of the Board), then the cash entitlements will be awarded on a 
pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the termination date.

Where termination occurs by way of dismissal or resignation prior to the end of the measurement period, 
the cash component may be paid on a pro‑rata basis.

If termination of employment occurs for serious misconduct, all vested and unvested rights will be forfeited 
and will lapse.

Changes from the FY21 
Enhanced STI Plan

The Board has discontinued the Enhanced STI Plan and has reverted to a remuneration structure  
to reward the Executive KMP through the STI and LTI plans.

For the STI plan, all incentives will be paid in cash upon achievement of specific annual and  
non‑financial KPIs.

KPIs are structured in a way such that the Group will be in the best position for the next financial year,  
while being mindful of the longer term to ensure the business is optimally placed for future years.

(iii)  FY22 Long‑Term Incentive (LTI) Plan

Objective

To align the rewards attainable by Executive KMP with the achievement of particular long‑term objectives 
of the Group and achievement of increasing shareholder value. Eligibility to participate in the LTI scheme 
is determined by the Board and is targeted at Senior Executives whose roles contribute significantly to the 
performance of the Group.

How is it paid?

LTIs are awarded as performance rights on achievement of certain thresholds reflective of shareholder 
value delivered.

Each performance right entitles the eligible executive to be issued with a share.

How much can 
executives earn?

Performance rights are subject to the service and performance conditions. The target LTI benefit  
is set as follows:

•  CEO LTI: 50% of TFR delivered as performance rights subject to vesting conditions; and

•  KMP LTI: 25% of TFR delivered as performance rights subject to vesting conditions.

The number of performance rights issued is based on each executive’s target LTI benefit divided  
by the market value of the rights. The market value of rights granted is based on the volume‑weighted 
average price of the Company’s shares during the five‑day period before grant date.

LTI benefits of up to 150% of target LTI are payable where performance criteria are exceeded.

2828

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022How is performance 
measured?

Vesting of the LTI awards is subject to the following criteria:

1.  Three years of continuous employment with the Group from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024.

2.  Achievement of the thresholds over the same three‑year period as set out below:

Relative Total Shareholder 
Return (rTSR)

50%

The percentage change in a 
company’s share price, plus the 
effect of any dividends paid, over 
the measurement period, relative 
on a ranked percentile basis to 
a comparative group (S&P/ASX 
Small Ordinaries Index). 

Relative TSR is a measure  
widely understood and accepted 
by shareholders, as it directly 
measures shareholder  
value creation. 

50%

Revenue

Relative Total Shareholder
Return (rTSR)

Revenue

Based on the achievement of 
a compounded annual growth 
rate of 12.5% of revenue over 
the measurement period.

Revenue growth is 
selected as it is considered 
a relevant indicator linking 
financial performance with 
shareholder value.

The proportion of rights that may vest based on relative TSR performance is determined based on the 
following vesting schedule:

Relative TSR Performance

Percentage of Performance Rights That Will Vest

< 50th percentile

None

Between 50th to 75th percentile

100% to 150% on a linear basis

> 75th percentile

150%

The proportion of rights that may vest based on revenue CAGR is determined based on the following 
vesting schedule:

Percentage Achievement  
Against 12.5% Revenue CAGR

Percentage of Performance Rights That Will Vest

< 93%

> 93% < 97%

> 97% < 103%

>103% <110%

None

0% to 100% on a linear basis

100%

100% to 150% on a linear basis

The Board has discretion to change the amount awarded if the Board considers the outcome to be 
misaligned given the circumstances that prevailed over the relevant measurement period and the 
experience of shareholders.

Performance rights will be forfeited if performance and market conditions are not met.

What happens if an 
executive leaves?

If an eligible executive ceases employment with the Group during the performance period other than by 
way of dismissal or resignation (e.g., death, total and permanent disablement, redundancy, retrenchment 
or retirement with prior written consent of the Board), then the unvested performance rights will vest on a 
pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the termination date.

Where termination occurs by way of dismissal or resignation prior to the vesting of the performance rights, 
unvested rights may vest on a pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the 
termination date at the Board’s discretion.

If termination of employment occurs for serious misconduct, all vested and unvested rights will be forfeited 
and will lapse.

Changes from FY21 
Enhanced STI Plan

The Board has discontinued the enhanced STI Plan and has reverted to a remuneration structure  
to reward the Executive KMP through STI and LTI plans.

For the LTI Plan, all incentives will be paid through equity in the form of performance rights, which will 
vest and will convert to shares on achievement of thresholds reflective of shareholder value delivered. 
Previously, one of the financial measurement criteria was EPSa growth. The FY22 LTI scheme removes  
this measurement and introduces a new revenue measurement criteria based on a revenue CAGR  
of 12.5% metric over the measurement period.

an STI award of 100% of these financial targets was met. For the non‑financial goals, between 83.3% and 100% of targets were 
achieved this year (refer to the table below). Refer to the operational and financial review section of the Directors’ Report for further

*  Represents the value of performance rights at grant date, calculated in accordance with AASB 2 Share‑Based Payment. The fair value of the rights has been 
determined by an independent external valuation expert in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. The fair value of the STI rights was based fully  
on the Black Scholes option pricing model (BSOPM), while the fair value of the LTI rights was based on the Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model for the 
TSR component and BSOPM for the Group Revenue component. Note 17(d) to the Group’s financial statements outlines the valuation methodology and key 
inputs and assumptions to the valuation in greater detail.

respectively, on achievement of specific annual financial and non‑financial KPIs. The performance rights have exceeded the required specific annual financial 
and non‑financial KPIs and will vest on an accelerated basis, subject to a two‑year deferral period paying 135% of the entitlement on 30 June 2023.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022How is performance 
measured?

Performance measures (KPIs) selected reflect financial, strategic and operational objectives relevant to the 
level and function of the role that are central to achievement of delivering the best possible outcome over 
the next 12 months given the current economic environment. Financial measures selected are measures 
against which management and the Board assess the short‑term financial performance of the Group. 
Strategic and operational objectives are assigned to each individual to drive specific outcomes considered 
to be of strategic importance to the Group within that individual’s level of responsibility. These objectives 
are determined by the CEO and the Board in accordance with the process set out on page 25.

The weightings for each performance measure that comprise the total STI opportunity are set out below:

The selection of non-financial 
KPIs varies depending on each 
KMP’s roles and responsibilities 
within the Group. These may 
include achievement of specific 
strategic projects that drive the 
best possible outcome over the 
next 12 months. Each KMP may 
have a number of separate non-
financial KPIs. Achievement of 
each individual’s non-financial 
KPIs is determined by reference 
to an assigned performance 
rating determined by the CEO 
and the Board at the end of the 
financial year in accordance 
with the process described  
on page 25.

30%

70%

Financial KPIs 
(budgeted revenues and EBITDA)

Non-financial KPIs

Achievement of financial KPIs 
is determined by reference to 
the Group’s audited accounts 
for the measurement period. 
No payment is made in 
respect of financial KPIs to 
any KMP if the target amount 
is not met for the Group 
(set at 93% of budgeted 
revenue and EBITDA). 

What happens if an 
executive leaves?

The Board retains final discretion over incentive payments to ensure outcomes appropriately reflect 
performance and achieve objectives of the executive incentive scheme.

If an eligible executive ceases employment with the Group during the performance period other than  
by way of dismissal or resignation (e.g., death, total and permanent disablement, redundancy, 
retrenchment or retirement with prior written consent of the Board), then the cash entitlements will be 
awarded on a pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the termination date.

Where termination occurs by way of dismissal or resignation prior to the end of the measurement period, 
the cash component may be paid on a pro‑rata basis.

If termination of employment occurs for serious misconduct, all vested and unvested rights will be forfeited 
and will lapse.

Changes from the  
FY22 STI plan

There have been no changes from the FY22 STI plan.

To align the rewards attainable by Executive KMP with the achievement of particular long‑term objectives  
of the Group and achievement of increasing shareholder value. Eligibility to participate in the LTI scheme  
is determined by the Board and is targeted at Senior Executives whose role contributes significantly to  
the performance of the Group.

How is it paid?

LTIs are awarded as performance rights on achievement of certain thresholds reflective of shareholder 
value delivered.

Each performance right entitles the eligible executive to be issued with a share.

How much can 
executives earn?

Performance rights are subject to the service and performance conditions. The target LTI benefit  
is set as follows:

•  CEO LTI: 50% of TFR delivered as performance rights subject to vesting conditions; and

•  KMP LTI: 25% of TFR delivered as performance rights subject to vesting conditions.

The number of performance rights issued is based on each Executive’s target LTI benefit divided by the 
market value of the rights. The market value of rights granted is based on the volume‑weighted average 
price of the Company’s shares during the five‑day period before grant date.

LTI benefits of up to 150% of target LTI are payable where performance criteria are exceeded.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022REMUNERATION REPORT  CONTINUED

How is performance 
measured?

Vesting of the LTI awards is subject to the following criteria:

1.  Three years of continuous employment with the Group from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025.

2.  Achievement of the thresholds over the same three‑year period as set out below:

Relative Total Shareholder 
Return (rTSR)

50%

The percentage change in a 
company’s share price, plus the 
effect of any dividends paid, over 
the measurement period, relative 
on a ranked percentile basis to 
a comparative group (S&P/ASX 
Small Ordinaries Index). 

Relative TSR is a measure  
widely understood and accepted 
by shareholders, as it directly 
measures shareholder  
value creation. 

50%

Revenue

Relative Total Shareholder
Return (rTSR)

Revenue

Based on the achievement of 
a compounded annual growth 
rate of 12.5% of revenue over 
the measurement period.

Revenue growth is 
selected as it is considered 
a relevant indicator linking 
financial performance with 
shareholder value.

The proportion of rights that may vest based on relative TSR performance is determined based on the 
following vesting schedule:

Relative TSR Performance

Percentage of Performance Rights That Will Vest

< 50th percentile

None

Between 50th to 75th percentile

100% to 150% on a linear basis

> 75th percentile

150%

The proportion of rights that may vest based on revenue CAGR is determined based on the following 
vesting schedule:

Percentage Achievement  
Against 12.5% Revenue CAGR

Percentage of Performance Rights That Will Vest

< 93%

> 93% < 97%

> 97% < 103%

>103% <110%

None

0% to 100% on a linear basis

100%

100% to 150% on a linear basis

The Board has discretion to change the amount awarded if the Board considers the outcome to be 
misaligned given the circumstances that prevailed over the relevant measurement period and the 
experience of shareholders.

Performance rights will be forfeited if performance and market conditions are not met.

What happens if an 
executive leaves?

If an eligible executive ceases employment with the Group during the performance period other than by 
way of dismissal or resignation (e.g., death, total and permanent disablement, redundancy, retrenchment 
or retirement with prior written consent of the Board), then the unvested performance rights will vest on a 
pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the termination date.

Where termination occurs by way of dismissal or resignation prior to the vesting of the performance rights, 
unvested rights may vest on a pro‑rata basis according to the eligible period of time served up until the 
termination date at the Board’s discretion.

If termination of employment occurs for serious misconduct, all vested and unvested rights will be forfeited 
and will lapse.

Changes from the  
FY22 LTI Plan

There have been no changes from the FY22 LTI Plan.

aligned to time, where termination occurs by way of resignation or dismissal (e.g., death, total 
and permanent disablement, redundancy, retrenchment or retirement with prior written consent 
of the Board).

In other forms of without cause terminations, the STI will be reduced proportionately to 
reflect the portion of the measurement period, but there is no other impact to the executive’s 
entitlement.

The Board has discretion to allow unvested LTIs to vest on a pro‑rata basis aligned to time. 
Where this discretion is not exercised, such unvested rights will lapse.

Termination of employment  
(with cause)

STI is forfeited.

All unvested LTIs are forfeited.

All vested but unexercised LTIs are forfeited.

9.  Other transactions with KMP

Rental agreements with the CEO and other KMP
The Group leases its Melbourne head office and its York Street (South Melbourne) office from entities in which the CEO is a Director. 
The terms and conditions of the lease and other property arrangements are no more favourable than those available, or which might 
reasonably be expected to be available, from others on an arm’s length basis. In addition, the Group rents an apartment in New York 
City, USA, on an as‑required basis at a rate favourable to the Group. The apartment is owned by the CEO.

The total lease and rental payments during the 2022 financial year related to these arrangements were $1,727,990.

Bruce Adams and David Osborne have a joint indirect interest in the entity that is a lessor to the Melbourne and South Melbourne 
arrangements as described above.

The properties leased in South Melbourne and the Group’s Melbourne head office have been sold to non‑related parties on 
17 June 2022 and on 29 July 2022, respectively. From these dates onwards, transactions relating to these leased properties  
have ceased to be related party transactions of the Group.

The terms and conditions of the lease arrangements remain unchanged during the financial year.

10.  Employee Share Trust

Hansen Technologies Limited Employee Share Plan Trust (the Trust) was established on 24 June 2022 as a sole purpose trust for 
the purpose of holding shares for the satisfaction of rights under existing and future equity awards plans. The Trust provides Hansen 
with greater flexibility to accommodate the incentive arrangements of Hansen both now and into the future as the Group continues to 
expand its operations. The Trust will help manage the capital requirements, in that the Trust can use the contributions made by Hansen 
either to acquire shares in Hansen on market, or alternatively to subscribe for new shares in Hansen. In addition, the Trust provides an 
arm’s length vehicle through which shares in Hansen can be acquired and held in Hansen on behalf of employees and allows Hansen 
to satisfy corporations law requirements relating to companies dealing in their own shares, as well as assisting with management of 
insider trading restrictions. Pacific Custodians Pty Limited, an independent third party, is the Trustee of the Trust, and will operate  
the Trust in accordance with Hansen Technologies Limited Employee Share Plan Trust Deed.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
30 JUNE 2022

SECTION A: BASIS OF PREPARATION

This section describes the basis in which the Group’s financial statements are prepared. Specific accounting policies are described  
in the note to which they relate. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

1.  Basis of preparation

(a)  Basis of preparation of the Financial Report
This Financial Report is a general purpose Financial Report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards, Interpretations and other applicable authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board  
and the Corporations Act 2001.

The Financial Report covers the Group, being Hansen Technologies Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities as a 
consolidated entity. The Company is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of the 
Company’s registered office and principal place of business is 2 Frederick St, Doncaster, Victoria 3108 Australia. The Company  
is a for‑profit entity for the purposes of preparing the Group’s financial statements.

This Financial Report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 24 August 2022.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been presented in a streamlined manner to simplify the information disclosed  
and to make it more relevant for users. Similar notes have been grouped into sections with relevant accounting policies, judgements 
and estimate disclosures incorporated within the notes to which they relate.

Compliance with IFRS

The Group’s consolidated financial statements comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Historical cost convention

The Financial Report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for certain 
classes of assets and liabilities as described in the accounting policies.

Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the Financial Report requires the use of certain estimates and judgements in applying the Group’s accounting 
policies. The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions concerning the future, which, by definition, will seldom represent  
actual results. Estimates and assumptions based on future events have a significant inherent risk and where future events are not  
as anticipated, there could be a material impact on the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities discussed in each of the  
affected notes.

Those estimates and judgements significant to the Financial Report are disclosed in the following notes:

Significant Accounting Estimate and Judgement

Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables

Capitalisation of research and development costs 

Impairment of goodwill

Impairment of non‑financial assets other than goodwill

Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – Group as a lessee

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  CONTINUED

(b)  Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated Group, comprising the financial statements of the parent Company, 
and of all entities that the parent controls. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, 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 prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting 
policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

All inter‑company balances and transactions, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. 
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date that control is established.

(c)  Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.

(d)  Rounding amounts
The parent Company and the consolidated Group have applied the relief available under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in  
Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and, accordingly, the amounts in the consolidated financial statements and  
in the Directors’ Report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases to the nearest dollar.

(e)  Going concern
The Financial Report has been prepared on a going concern basis.

5050

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022SECTION B: PERFORMANCE

This section explains the operating results of the Group for the year and provides insights into the Group’s results, including results  
by operating segment, separately disclosed items during the year that affected the Group’s results, components of income and 
expenses, income tax and earnings per share.

2.  Segment information

(a)  Description of segments
Management has determined the Group’s operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the CEO (the Chief Operating 
Decision Maker).

The operating segments are identified based on the types of services provided to the Group’s customers and the type of customer 
the services are provided to. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported to the executive 
management team on at least a monthly basis.

Where operating segments meet the aggregation criteria, these are aggregated into reported segments. Operating segments are 
aggregated based on similar products and services provided to the same type of customers using the same distribution method.

Segment profits, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a 
reasonable basis. Inter‑segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis and is eliminated on consolidation. There are no 
significant transactions between segments.

The Group has identified only one reportable segment as described in the table below. No operating segments have been aggregated 
to form the below reportable operating segment. The ‘other’ category includes business units that do not qualify as an operating 
segment, as well as the operating segments that do not meet the disclosure requirements of a reportable segment, including  
IT Outsourcing and Customer Care services.

(a)  AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(i)  Performance obligations

The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognised. 
They include amounts recognised as unearned revenue and amounts that are contracted but not yet billed or performed.

The transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as at 30 June 2022 is 
$103,377,000 (2021: $104,010,000). This amount mostly comprises obligations in our long‑term contracts to provide software  
or “software‑as‑a‑service” (SaaS), support and maintenance, and open long‑term professional services contracts as well as licences 
contracted but not yet earned as the licence has not yet been deployed. A portion of this amount is expected to be recognised as 
revenue beyond the next 12 months following the respective consolidated statement of financial position date. This estimation is 
judgemental, as it needs to consider estimates of possible future contract modifications. The amount of transaction price allocated  
to the remaining performance obligations, and changes in this amount over time, are impacted by, among others, currency fluctuations 
and the remaining contract period of our billing solution agreements (which, in some cases, are contracted until five years after the 
consolidated statement of financial position date).

Accrued revenue mainly relates to software licences deployed on contract inception but which have yet to be billed to the customer.

Revenue recognised in the current financial year that was included in unearned revenue at the beginning of the current financial year 
was $31,639,000 (2021: $24,370,000), representing support and maintenance, professional services, software and SaaS delivered 
during the financial year.

(b)  Government grants
Included in “Other income” during the financial year is $280,000 (2021: $493,000) of government grants received to compensate for 
eligible employee expenditure related to research activities performed in Norway and in the United Kingdom. In the previous financial 
year, separately, a total amount of $516,000 related to government subsidies was received in Canada. There was no such amount 
received in the current financial year. There were no unfulfilled conditions or contingencies attached to these grants.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  CONTINUED

Significant accounting policies

Revenue

The Group derives revenues from customer contracts associated with the provision of billing solutions. A typical contract may  
include various deliverables in consideration for fees. Such deliverables in our contracts include, but are not limited to, the provision  
of a software licence, support, and maintenance services, as well as professional implementation and customisation services. 

The nature of fee structures within the contracts varies by customer. The timing and frequency of invoicing depends on the 
terms and conditions of each contract. Invoices are billed to the customer either in advance or in arrears on normal commercial 
terms. Where the contract requires invoicing in advance, revenue is initially deferred as unearned revenue until the Group fulfils 
its performance obligations. Where the contract requires invoicing in arrears, revenue recognised on fulfilment of a performance 
obligation is brought to account as accrued revenue, until the Group’s right to consideration becomes unconditional and the 
accrued revenue is then presented as a receivable. 

The Group’s accounting policies with respect to each of the individual deliverables in the Group’s customer contracts are outlined  
in sub‑sections (i) onwards.

(i)  Licence, support and maintenance revenue

The Group’s contracts for billing solutions regularly include software licences associated with the relevant billing solution provided 
to the customer. The nature of the licence varies by customer and billing solution. As part of the licence agreement, various support 
and maintenance services are available to support the customer’s use of the billing solution. This includes the provision of various 
bug fixes, updates and helpdesk support. 

Generally, the provision of the software licence is a distinct performance obligation. However, where there are associated 
implementation, customisation or other professional services in the contract that significantly modify, customise or are highly 
interrelated with the licence, the software licence and implementation services are combined into a single performance obligation. 
The determination of whether the licence should be combined with the services is a matter of judgement, depending on the nature 
of the implementation of the services provided and the licence specifications in the customer contract.

How the licence performance obligation is fulfilled depends on the nature of the licence and how the Group provides the licence  
to the customer, irrespective of whether the licence is provided in perpetuity or for a specified contractual term:

•  Where the licence is installed and delivered on customer premises, the customer can derive substantial benefits from the licence 
on its own. Therefore, the performance obligation is fulfilled (and revenue recognised) at the point in time the licence goes live, 
typically when customer acceptance has been obtained and the licence meets the agreed‑upon specifications.

•  Where the licence is hosted by the Group (for example, in some of our SaaS applications), the customer is dependent on  

our continual hosting of the licence platform in order to derive and receive substantial benefits from the licence. Therefore, the 
performance obligation is fulfilled (and revenue recognised) over time, which is typically evenly over the contracted period  
in which access to the licence is made available to the customer. 

Licence fees in some pay‑TV and telecommunications contracts are dependent on the subsequent usage of the licence by  
the customer, which is determined by customer‑defined metrics such as subscriber counts or end‑user numbers. For these 
contracts, the Group uses the sales/usage‑based royalty exception and recognises revenue when the subsequent usage  
is known, which is typically at the end of each billing period. 

Support and maintenance services are generally considered a distinct single performance obligation, separately identifiable  
to the software licence, as all the individual activities that comprise of support and maintenance are highly interrelated with each 
other. Revenue related to the provision of support and maintenance is recognised evenly over the contracted term in which the 
customer is entitled to receive support and maintenance.

(ii)  Services revenue

The Group provides various configuration, implementation, customisation and other professional services that the customer is 
contracted to receive. This may be a part of the overall billing solution, or discrete projects separately agreed with the customer. 
The various individual activities that form the professional services provided to the customer are highly interrelated with each other 
and therefore are treated as a single performance obligation. Revenue from these professional services is recognised over time  
by reference to the stage of completion of the contracts. 

Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours for 
each contract, and by reference to any contracted milestones achieved, such as customer acceptance of the final specification. 

As described above in “Licence, support and maintenance revenue,” certain professional services might be combined with the 
provision of the software licence depending on the nature of the licence and the professional services provided.

5656

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022(iii)  Hardware/software sales revenue

Some of the Group’s subsidiaries on‑sell certain third‑party hardware and software products. Revenue is recognised when  
control over the hardware/software has transferred to the customer. Determination of when control has passed depends on 
whether the customer has legal title over the products, whether the customer has obtained possession of the products or  
whether the Group has present right to payment. 

The Group is considered principal in the sales transaction as the Group has procured the products from its various vendors  
and the Group bears the risk and responsibility for selling those products to the customer.

(iv)  Other revenue

Other revenue consists of reimbursed expenses incurred for servicing the customer contract. Revenue is recognised when  
the Group has legal enforceability under the contract to have the relevant expenses reimbursed from the customer.

(v)  Financing components

The Group does not have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer 
represents a material financing component. Therefore, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value  
of money. 

(vi)  Presentation and disclosure

In Note 2(b)(ii) of the financial statements, the Group has disaggregated revenue recognised from contracts with customers into 
the following categories:

•  the types of goods and services we provide our customers in our contracts;

•  the primary market vertical that our customers operate in. ‘Energy’ includes our electricity, gas and water customers,  

while ‘Communications’ includes our telecommunications and pay‑TV customers; and

•  the key geographic regions where our customers are located, which is consistent with the geographic segments identified  

for our segment reporting.

We believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by 
economic factors. 

AASB 15 uses the terms ‘contract asset’ and ‘contract liability’. To maintain consistency in presentation with prior periods, the 
Group has retained the use of ‘accrued revenue’ and ‘unearned revenue’, respectively.

In disclosing the amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations, the Group has 
elected to use the practical expedient available in AASB 15 and disclose only the amounts allocated to performance obligations for 
contracts with original expected duration of more than one year and for contracts where the Group’s right to consideration from a 
customer does not correspond directly with the value to the customer of the Group’s performance completed to date.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis, taking into account the interest rates applicable 
to the financial assets.

Sales tax (including GST and VAT)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax, except where the amount of sales tax incurred is 
not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances, the sales tax is recognised as part of the acquisition of the asset or as 
part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the consolidated statement of financial position are shown inclusive  
of sales tax.

The net amount of GST/VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in 
the statement of financial position. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from,  
or payable to, the taxation authority. 

Cash flows are presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the sales tax component of 
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received 
and all attached conditions will be complied with. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended 
to compensate. Government grants received for which there are no future related costs are recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income immediately.

4.  Separately disclosed items

The Group has disclosed underlying EBITDA and underlying profit after tax, referring to the Group’s trading results, adjusted for certain 
transactions during the year that are not representative of the Group’s regular business activities. The Group considers that these 
transactions are of such significance to understanding the ongoing results of the Group that the Group has elected to separately 
identify these transactions to determine an ongoing result to enable a “like‑for‑like” comparison. These items are described as 
“separately disclosed items” throughout this Financial Report.

Non‑recurring income
The Group has not recognised any non‑recurring income for the financial year ended 30 June 2022. In the previous financial year, the 
Group recognised a gain on final settlement of the most recent acquisition and was presented within ‘Other income’ in the Group’s 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Non‑recurring expenses
For the financial year ended 30 June 2022, the Group recognised professional fees of $306,000 in relation to the non‑binding conditional 
proposal from BGH Capital Pty Ltd (BGH Capital) to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares in Hansen by way of a Scheme of 
Arrangement. The proposal was withdrawn by BGH Capital on 6 September 2021. These costs have been included within the 
‘Professional expenses’ account in the Group’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

In the previous financial year, the Group has separately identified expenses recognised in relation to deferred remuneration for 
former employees of $2,040,000 of the company acquired in 2019. This cost arose from the negotiated agreements in relation to the 
acquisition and is not considered a transaction that is in the normal course of the Group’s business activities. This amount is included 
within ‘Employee benefit expenses’ as an amount that is not incurred in the normal course of business activities.

Significant accounting policies

Income tax

Current income tax expense is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate 
adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that 
are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax balances

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the applicable tax rates when the assets are 
expected to be recovered or liabilities settled. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to temporary differences if 
they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting 
profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future 
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

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

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer 
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised 
deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that  
future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against 
current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Tax consolidation

The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions in which it has foreign operations. In some of these jurisdictions, 
namely Australia and the United States, the immediate parent entity and entities it controls have formed local income tax 
consolidated groups that are taxed as a single entity in their relevant jurisdiction. The head entity of the Australian tax consolidated 
group is Hansen Technologies Limited. Each tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding agreement whereby each entity in 
the tax consolidated group recognises the assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues in relation to its own transactions, events and 
balances only. This means that:

•  the parent entity recognises all current and deferred tax amounts relating to its own transactions, events and balances only;

•  the subsidiaries recognise current or deferred tax amounts arising in respect of their own transactions, events and balances; and

•  the current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising in respect of tax losses are transferred from the subsidiary to the head 

entity as inter‑company payables or receivables.

Each tax consolidated group also has a tax sharing agreement in place to limit the liability of subsidiaries in the tax consolidated 
group arising under the joint and several liability requirements of the tax consolidation system, in the event of default by the parent 
entity to meet its payment obligations. This means that under the tax sharing agreement, the subsidiaries are legally liable to the 
income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.

Trade receivables represent amounts owed by our customers and are recognised initially at the amount of consideration where the 
right to payment is conditional only on the passage of time. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting 
contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less a 
provision for expected credit loss. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement between 30 and 60 days. 

The Group recognises a provision for impairment by calculating lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs). In determining the 
appropriate amount of lifetime ECLs, the Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss 
experience, adjusted for forward‑looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

Individual debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. Expected credit losses 
are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within “Other expenses” account. When a trade receivable 
for which a provision for expected credit loss had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off 
against the allowance account.

6565

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  CONTINUED

Critical accounting estimate and judgement

Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables

The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables. The provision rates are based on days past due  
for groupings of various customer segments that have similar loss patterns (i.e. by geography, product type, customer type  
and rating, and coverage by letters of credit and other forms of credit insurance).

The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group will calibrate the matrix  
to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward‑looking information. For instance, if forecast economic conditions  
(i.e., gross domestic product) are expected to deteriorate over the next year, which can lead to an increased number of defaults  
in the energy sector, the historical default rates are adjusted. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are 
updated and changes in the forward‑looking estimates are analysed. 

The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and ECLs is  
a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions.  
The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of  
customer’ actual default in the future. 

As with the previous financial year, the Group has considered the impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic on the amount of ECLs  
and has determined from its assessment that there has been no significant change to the recovery of the customers’ debts.

Plant, equipment and leasehold improvements

Cost and valuation

All classes of plant, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less depreciation and any accumulated  
impairment losses.

Depreciation

The depreciable amounts of all fixed assets are depreciated on a straight‑line basis over their estimated useful lives commencing 
from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired 
period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The useful lives for each class of assets are:

Plant and equipment

An item of plant, equipment and leasehold improvements initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal. Any gain or loss 
arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount  
of the asset) is included in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised. 

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of plant, equipment and leasehold improvements are reviewed  
at each financial year end and are adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not 
individually identifiable or separately recognised. Goodwill is recognised initially at the excess of: (a) the aggregate of the 
consideration transferred, the fair value of the non‑controlling interests and the acquisition date fair value of the acquirers 
previously held equity interest; over (b) the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Technology and other intangibles

Other intangibles consist of trademarks, brand names, customer relationships and non‑compete clauses. 

Technology and other intangibles are recognised at cost and are amortised over their estimated useful lives, which is generally  
the term of the contract for customer contracts and five to 10 years for technology and other intangibles. Technology and other 
intangibles are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.

Research and development

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense when incurred.

Development costs are capitalised when the entity can demonstrate all of the following: the technical feasibility of completing the 
asset so that it will be available for use or sale; the intention to complete the asset and use or sell it; the ability to use or sell the 
asset; how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits; the availability of adequate technical, financial and other 
resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset; and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable 
to the asset during its development. 

Capitalised development expenditure is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment 
losses. Amortisation is calculated using a straight‑line method to allocate the cost of the intangible asset over its estimated  
useful life, which is generally five years. Amortisation commences when the intangible asset is available for use. 

Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense when incurred.

Impairment of non‑financial assets

Assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised but are tested at least annually for impairment in accordance with AASB 
136 Impairment of Assets. Assets subject to annual depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or 
circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised where 
the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher  
of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  CONTINUED

Critical accounting estimate and judgement

Capitalisation of research and development costs

Development costs incurred are assessed for each research and development project and a percentage of the expenditure is 
capitalised when technical feasibility studies demonstrate that the project will deliver future economic benefits and those benefits 
can be measured reliably.

There has been an investment in research and development expenditure incurred in relation to the various billing software 
platforms in the 2022 financial year. Returns are expected to be derived from this investment over the coming year(s).

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each financial year 
end. The estimation of useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience and expected product lifecycle, which could 
change significantly as a result of technological innovation.

(a)  Impairment test for goodwill
For impairment testing, the Group views that its past business combinations giving rise to goodwill on acquisition relate to synergistic 
opportunities for its billing solutions. Therefore, goodwill is allocated entirely to the Billing CGU, which is also an operating and 
reportable segment.

The recoverable amount of the Billing CGU has been determined based on a value‑in‑use calculation using cash flow projections  
over a five‑year period. Cash flows beyond the five‑year forecast period are extrapolated using the estimated terminal growth rates.

Key assumptions used for value‑in‑use calculations

The key assumptions for the Billing CGU supporting the disclosed recoverable value are as follows:

•  EBITDA for the first year based on financial budgets approved by senior management;

•  beyond the first year, profit before tax annual growth rate of 1.5% (2021: 1.5%);

•  a post‑tax discount rate of 8.2% (2021: 6.1%); and

•  terminal growth rate of 1.5% (2021: 1.5%) at the end of the forecast period.

Both the EBITDA growth rate beyond FY22 and the terminal growth rate ranges are derived from management’s best estimate of 
revenue and operating expenditure growth, taking into account changes in the industry, customer market prospects, future product 
developments and technological innovation. Profit before income tax expense is then adjusted for amounts related to tax. 

The discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risks specific to the CGU, taking into consideration the time value  
of money coupled with other risks factors. It is based on the Group’s weighted average cost of capital.

Results of impairment testing and sensitivity to changes in assumptions

The recoverable amount of the CGU remains more than adequately greater than the carrying value of the CGU even after a 2.1% 
increase in the post‑tax discount rate when compared to the prior year.

The following table sets out key parameters that need to change for there to be no headroom available when comparing the calculation 
of the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU against the carrying value of the CGU at 30 June 2022.

Impairment of goodwill

The Group tests whether goodwill has been impaired on an annual basis. Management judgement is applied to identify the cash 
generating units (CGU). The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value‑in‑use calculations, which require the use 
of assumptions and discounting of future cash flows. These assumptions are based on best estimates at the time of performing 
the valuation. Cash flow projections do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant 
future investments that will enhance the performance of the assets of the CGU being tested. 

Goodwill is monitored by management at the level of operating segments identified in Note 2. 

Impairment of non‑financial assets other than goodwill

All assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date by evaluating whether indicators of impairment exist in relation  
to the continued use of the asset by the consolidated entity. Impairment triggers include declining product, technology changes, 
adverse changes in the economic or political environment or future product expectations. If an indicator of impairment exists,  
the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.

Movements in cost and accumulated depreciation during the year are inclusive of any net foreign currency movements arising  
from foreign operations.

The Group has identified the following classes of right‑of‑use (“ROU”) assets: properties, vehicles, office and IT equipment.  
The largest class of asset recognised is the Group’s property leases, consisting of office buildings, as well as rental apartments  
for its employees undertaking short‑term assignments overseas. Leases of properties generally have lease terms between six months 
and five years, while leases of office equipment, vehicles and IT equipment generally have terms between one and three years. The 
Group usually has rights to renew the lease arrangements that are reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore may have long 
effective lease terms. The rental payments associated with each lease varies according to the amount of space rented and the location 
of the lease. However, in most cases the amount of rental payments is indexed annually in line with the relevant national consumer  
pricing index.

Significant accounting policies

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to 
control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of an identified asset 
exists when the arrangement involves the use of an identified asset, when the Group obtains substantially all the economic benefits 
from the use of the asset, and when the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.

The lease term is first determined with reference to the non‑cancellable period of the lease contract, adjusted for any periods 
covered by options to extend the lease and/or to early terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the options. 
Judgement is applied by the Group in determining whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the options.

Lease liabilities are initially recognised and measured based on the total value of fixed and variable contractual lease payments 
over the lease term, including payments to extend or terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the option 
to extend or terminate the lease, respectively. The lease payments are discounted to present value based on the incremental 
borrowing rate implicit in the lease. 

Lease payments on properties exclude service fees for maintenance, cleaning and other costs as these costs are separated as 
non‑lease components. However, the Group has elected not to separate lease and non‑lease components for leases of vehicles, 
office and IT equipment. 

Leased assets are capitalised at the commencement date of the lease and comprise the initial lease liability amount, initial direct 
costs incurred when entering the lease, less any lease incentives received. 

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight‑line basis over the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right‑of‑use asset  
or the end of the lease term, as follows:

•  ROU properties

•  ROU office equipment

•  ROU vehicles

•  ROU IT equipment

Estimated useful lives of right‑of‑use assets are determined on the same basis as those of plant, equipment and leasehold 
improvements. 

The right‑of‑use asset is also periodically assessed for impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the  
lease liability.

The Group does not apply the practical expedients for short‑term leases and leases for which the assets are of low value. 

Presentation and disclosure

Depreciation on right‑of‑use assets is included as part of “Depreciation expense” account in the consolidated statement  
of comprehensive income, and interest expense on lease liabilities is included as part of “Finance costs on lease liabilities” 
account in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Right‑of‑use assets are disclosed separately on the consolidated statement of financial position, with Note 13(a) disaggregating 
the lease assets by class of asset. Lease liabilities are presented as current and non‑current in the consolidated statement of 
financial position depending on the timing of the settlement of contractual cash outflows.

The repayment of the principal portion of lease payments is presented as part of financing activities in the consolidated statement 
of cash flows, and the interest portion is presented as part of operating activities.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Critical accounting estimate and judgement

Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – Group as a lessee

The Group determines the lease term as the non‑cancellable term of the lease together with any periods covered by an  
option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease,  
if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating 
whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all 
relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, 
the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects 
its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g. construction of significant leasehold improvements 
or significant customisation to the leased asset).

Estimating the incremental borrowing rate

The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) 
to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and 
with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right‑of‑use asset in a similar economic 
environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates 
are available (such as for subsidiaries that do not enter into financing transactions) or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the 
terms and conditions of the lease (for example, when leases are not in the subsidiary’s functional currency). The Group estimates 
the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity‑specific 
estimates (such as the subsidiary’s stand‑alone credit rating).

Trade payables are initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost and are not discounted.  
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year that are unpaid. 
The amounts are unsecured and are paid in accordance with vendor terms, which are usually within 30 to 60 days of recognition. 
Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period.

Employee Benefits Liability
Employee benefits liability represents amounts provided for annual leave and long service leave. The current portion for this provision 
includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have 
vested due to employees having completed the required period of service.

Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances classified as 
current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. These amounts are presented as current liabilities since the Group does  
not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement.

The following amounts reflect leave that is not expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months:

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  CONTINUED

Significant accounting policies

Short‑term employee benefit obligations

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and any other employee benefits expected to 
be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts based on remuneration rates that are expected to 
be paid when the liability is settled. The expected cost of short‑term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such 
as annual leave and long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short‑term employee benefit 
obligations are presented as payables.

Other long‑term employee benefit obligations

The provision for other long‑term employee benefits, including obligations for long service leave and annual leave, which are not 
expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the reporting period are measured at the present value of the 
estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of the services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Expected 
further payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee turnover, and are 
discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high‑quality corporate bonds 
that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any re‑measurements for changes in assumptions of 
obligations for other long‑term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the change occurs.

Other long‑term employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position 
if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date, regardless of 
when the actual settlement is expected to occur. All other long‑term employee benefit obligations are presented as non‑current 
liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Retirement benefit obligations

The consolidated entity makes superannuation and pension contributions to the employee’s defined contribution plan of 
choice in respect of employee services rendered during the year. These contributions are recognised as an expense in the 
same period when the related employee services are received. The Group’s obligation with respect to employee’s defined 
contributions entitlements is limited to its obligation for any unpaid superannuation and pension guarantee contributions at the 
end of the reporting period. All obligations for unpaid superannuation and pension guarantee contributions are measured at 
the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities in the 
consolidated statement of financial position.

Bonus plan

The consolidated entity recognises a provision when a bonus is payable in accordance with the employee’s contract of 
employment or review letter and the amount can be reliably measured.

Termination benefits

The Group recognises an obligation and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of: (a) the date when the Group can no 
longer withdraw the offer for termination benefits; and (b) when the Group recognises costs for restructuring and the costs include 
termination benefits. In either case, the obligation and expense for termination benefits is measured on the basis of the best 
estimate of the number of employees expected to be affected. Termination benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before 
12 months after the annual reporting period in which the benefits are recognised are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts 
expected to be paid and are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. All other termination 
benefits are accounted for on the same basis as other long‑term employee benefits and are presented as non‑current liabilities in 
the consolidated statement of financial position.

(a)  Employee Share Plan
The Employee Share Plan (ESP) is available to all eligible employees each year to acquire ordinary shares in the Company from future 
remuneration (before tax). Shares to be issued or transferred under the ESP will be valued at the volume‑weighted average price of 
the Company’s shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange during the five business days immediately preceding the day the 
shares are issued or transferred. Shares issued under the ESP are not allowed to be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of until the 
earlier of the end of an initial three‑year period, or the participant ceasing continuing employment with the Company.

Details of the movement in employee shares under the ESP are as follows:

There were no shares issued under the ESP for the 2022 and 2021 financial years, nor were there any amounts of consideration 
provided by eligible participants at the consolidated statement of financial position date on both years.

The market value of the Company’s ordinary shares closed at $5.20 on 30 June 2022 ($6.21 on 30 June 2021).

The Employee Share Plan is no longer utilised.

(b)  Employee Performance Rights Plan
The Employee Performance Rights Plan (the Rights Plan) was approved by shareholders at the Company’s AGM on 23 November 2017 
and was re‑adopted at the Company’s AGM on 25 November 2021. Under the Plan, awards are made to eligible executives and other 
management personnel who have an impact on the Group’s performance. Plan awards for long‑term incentives (LTI) are granted in the 
form of performance rights over shares that vest over a period of three years subject to meeting performance measures and continuous 
employment with the Company. Plan awards for deferred short‑term incentives (STI) are deferred for a two‑year period, of which the employee 
must remain employed, following the achievement of annual financial and non‑financial performance measures. Each performance right 
is to subscribe for one ordinary share upon vesting and, when issued, the shares will rank equally with other shares.

Performance rights issued under the Employee Performance Rights Plan are valued on the same basis as those issued to KMP, which is 
described in Note 17(d).

(c)  Employee Share Option Plan
The Employee Share Option Plan (the Option Plan) was approved by shareholders at the Company’s AGM on 9 November 2001 
and reaffirmed at the AGM on 24 November 2011. Under the Plan, awards are made to eligible executives and other management 
personnel who have an impact on the Group’s performance. Plan awards are delivered in the form of options over shares that vest  
over a period of three years subject to meeting performance measures and continuous employment with the Company. Each option  
is to subscribe for one ordinary share when the option is exercised and, when issued, the shares will rank equally with other shares.

Unless the terms on which an option was offered specified otherwise, an option may be exercised at any time after the vesting date  
on satisfaction of the relevant performance criteria.

There were no new options issued under the Option Plan during the 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 financial years, as the Option Plan 
was replaced with the Rights Plan as described in Note 17(b).

There were no movement of options during the year ended 30 June 2022. All share options have been exercised in the previous

Significant accounting policies

Share‑based payments

The Group operates equity‑settled share‑based payment employee share, options and rights schemes. The fair value of the  
equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, 
with a corresponding increase to an equity account, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to 
the award (the vesting date). The fair value of shares is measured at the market bid price at grant date. In respect of share‑based 
payments that are dependent on the satisfaction of performance conditions, the number of options and rights expected to vest 
is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date. The amount recognised for services received as consideration for these equity 
instruments granted is adjusted to reflect the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

Share‑based payments are subject to two different forms of measurement: 

•  Market‑based 

•  Non‑market‑based 

These measurement criteria are subject to different accounting treatments under AASB 2 Share‑based Payment.

Market‑based measurement

Any awards subject to market conditions will vest irrespective of the condition being met. Where a condition is not met,  
the expense associated with the award will continue to be recognised over the vesting period.

Non‑market‑based measurement

For any non‑market‑based awards where the condition is not satisfied, the expense incurred to date is reversed and no further 
charge is recognised over the remaining period. 

Critical accounting estimate and judgement

Share‑based payments

The fair value of rights is estimated on the grant date using an adjusted form of the Black Scholes Model and Monte Carlo 
simulation model. Estimating fair value for share‑based payments requires significant assumptions such as determining the  
most appropriate inputs to the valuation model, including the expected life of the share option or performance right, volatility  
in the share price and dividend yield.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022SECTION E: CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

This section explains our policies and procedures applied to manage our financing and capital structure, and the associated risks  
that we are exposed to. The Group manages its financial and capital structure to maximise shareholder return, maintain an optimal  
cost of capital and provide flexibility for strategic investments.

18.  Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks, principally related to credit, liquidity, interest rate and foreign currency risk.  
The Group’s risk management framework is aligned with best practices and designed to reduce volatility on our financial performance 
and to support the delivery of our business objectives. The Board has overall responsibility for identifying and monitoring operational 
and financial risks.

(a)  Credit risk

Nature of risk

The risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual obligations. Credit risk arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and our 
investments in debt securities.

Exposure  
to the risk

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 is the carrying amount of 
financial assets, net of any provisions for impairment and excluding the value of any collateral or other security.

The gross trade receivables balance as at 30 June 2022 was $56,534,000 (2021: $75,942,000). The ageing 
analysis of trade and other receivables is provided in Note 9. As the Group undertakes transactions with a large 
number of customers and regularly monitors payment in accordance with credit terms, the financial assets that 
are past due but not impaired are expected to be received.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is affected by the regions and industries our customers operate in.  
The charts set out below show the concentration of our trade receivables balances by the industry they operate in.

How is the  
risk managed?

Receivables are managed on an ongoing basis. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure 
to any single debtor or group of debtors. Ageing analysis and ongoing collectability reviews are performed 
and, where appropriate, an expected credit loss provision is raised. Historically, the Group has not had any 
significant write‑offs in our trade receivables.

The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables by undertaking transactions 
with a large number of customers. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on a variety of factors, 
including their credit ratings and financial position. 

8383

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  CONTINUED

(b)  Liquidity risk

Nature of risk

The risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.

Exposure  
to the risk

The table below categorises the Group’s financial liabilities into their relevant contractual maturities.  
Amounts included represent undiscounted cash flows.

Note 19 provides additional details on the Group’s borrowing arrangements. 

How is the  
risk managed?

The Group’s approach is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities 
when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or 
risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group reviews its minimum levels of cash and cash equivalents on an ongoing basis, and closely  
monitors rolling cash flow forecasts based on its view on the nature and timing of expected receipts  
and payments. The Group has historically been able to generate and retain strong positive cash flows. 
Additionally, a multi‑currency borrowing facility has been arranged with the Group’s financiers to provide 
increased capacity for strategic growth objectives.

Contractual maturities of financial liabilities

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments  
as at 30 June 2022 and 2021.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022(c)  Interest rate risk

Nature of risk

Exposure  
to the risk

The risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result  
of changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s main exposure to interest rate risk arises from its lease liabilities, borrowings and cash and  
cash equivalents. No other financial assets or liabilities are expected to be exposed to interest rate risk.

The weighted average variable interest rate across all our borrowings at 30 June 2022 is 2.34%  
(2021: 2.20%). If the interest rate were to increase or decrease by 1%, with all other variables held  
constant, the impact to pre‑tax profit is $1,233,000 (2021: $1,610,000) and the impact to post‑tax  
equity(1) is $886,000 (2021: $1,158,000).

(1)  Post‑tax equity is calculated as the net of the blended effective tax rate on pre‑tax profit based on  

where the interest‑bearing debt is located (i.e., Australia and Canada) and the prevailing corporate tax  
rate in each of those jurisdictions (i.e., 30% and 26.5% respectively). 

How is the  
risk managed?

The Group ensures it has access to diverse sources of funding, including access to foreign currency debt.  
The Group closely monitors its debt ratios to reduce its risk exposure to uncertainty in the global markets if 
interest rates will fall or rise. Management is comfortable with the risk associated with using variable interest 
rates due to the current level of borrowings.

(d)  Foreign currency risk

Nature of risk

Exposure  
to the risk

The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument or forecasted transaction will fluctuate 
because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Group operates internationally and as such has exposure to foreign currency movements.  
The Group has expanded its international operations substantially in recent years to the extent that in  
excess of 83% (2021: 83%) of its revenue is now earned in foreign currency designated transactions.  
The Group has a number of offices located internationally and more than 88% (2021: 88%) of its workforce  
is located overseas and paid in foreign currencies.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be limited to the revaluation of foreign currency 
denominated borrowings, intercompany financing arrangements denominated in foreign currencies,  
and foreign currency bank balances in the Group at market rates at consolidated statement of financial 
 position date.

The Group’s primary foreign currency exposure relates to the movement in US Dollar (USD), British Pound (GBP), 
Canadian Dollar (CAD) and Euro (EUR) exchange rates. At the reporting date, cash and cash equivalents 
included $49.0 million (2021: $48.1 million) denominated in foreign currencies.

If the foreign currency exchange rate for our primary foreign currencies (being USD, GBP, CAD and EUR) were 
to move by 10%, with all other variables held constant, the impact to our foreign currency translation reserves 
(included within ‘Equity’ in the consolidated statement of financial position) on translation of our foreign 
currency‑denominated cash and cash equivalents is as follows:

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies and other financial statement  
items is not material, as the Group has natural hedging and designated hedging relationships in place  
(refer to “How is the risk managed?” for a further explanation).

8585

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  CONTINUED

How is the  
risk managed?

The Group manages its foreign currency risk by evaluating its exposure to fluctuations on an ongoing basis.

The Group’s overseas subsidiaries transact in different functional currencies. The effects of any exchange 
rate movements in respect of the net assets of our foreign subsidiaries are recognised in the foreign currency 
translation reserve in equity. Accordingly, the Group has an in‑built natural hedge against major currency 
fluctuations and, except for significant sudden change, is protected in part by its corporate structure against 
currency movements so that the impact is largely limited to the margin.

In addition, during the financial year, the Group held a foreign currency borrowing as part of the syndicated 
multi‑currency borrowing facility agreement as disclosed in Note 19, which has been designated as a hedging 
instrument of the net assets of some of the Group’s principal overseas subsidiaries in order to offset our risk 
exposure arising from the translation of these subsidiaries into Australian Dollars. There is no impact to the 
profit or loss on the translation of the Group’s overseas subsidiaries or foreign currency borrowings to the 
Australian dollar.

The Group’s subsidiaries also enter into various financing and transactional arrangements with each other in 
accordance with local regulatory requirements. The Group regularly reviews these arrangements to minimise 
its exposure on the translation of outstanding foreign currency‑denominated intercompany balances to the 
Australian dollar, which impact profit. 

Significant accounting policies

Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements of each entity within the consolidated Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in Australian dollars, 
which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the consolidated Group are translated into its functional currency at the rate  
of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items arising under foreign 
currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the contract) are translated using the spot rate  
at the end of the financial year.

All resulting exchange differences arising on settlement or re‑statement are recognised in profit or loss and presented in the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the financial year.

(e)  Fair value measurements
Due to their short‑term nature, the fair value of receivables and payables approximates their carrying amounts as disclosed in the 
consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the consolidated financial statements. At 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021, 
there are no assets or liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis.

At the beginning of the year, the Group had a $152,093,000 syndicated multi‑currency borrowing facility with its external financiers, 
which was used to fund an acquisition in June 2019 and is being used to provide additional funding for general corporate and working 
capital purposes. The facility is secured by 75% of Group assets. As at 30 June 2022, the remaining unutilised portion of the facility  
is $35,000,000.

On 4 August 2021, the syndicated multi‑currency borrowing facility was amended to have a new expiry date of 1 September 2023 
(original expiry date was 1 May 2022) and a renegotiated margin pricing grid has delivered a favourable outcome for the Group.

(c)  Hedge of net investments in foreign operations
Included in the “Borrowings” account at the beginning of the financial year is GBP 2,500,000 drawn down as part of the syndicated 
multi‑currency facility. Repayments have been made during the year and as at 30 June 2022, the carrying amount of this borrowing  
is GBP nil.

This foreign currency‑denominated borrowing has been designated as a hedge of the net investment in the Group’s subsidiaries in 
the United Kingdom. The borrowing is being used to hedge the Group’s exposure to GBP foreign exchange risk. Gains or losses on 
the retranslation of the borrowing is transferred to other comprehensive income to offset any gains or losses on translation of the net 
investment in the subsidiaries.

The Group’s hedging relationship remains unchanged from the prior year for its foreign‑currency denominated borrowing(s).

The effects of the foreign currency related hedging instrument on the Group’s financial position and performance are as follows:

(1)  The draw‑down loan under the syndicated multi‑currency borrowing facility is denominated in the same currency and critical terms as the value of the net 

investment in the foreign subsidiaries that is being hedged. Therefore, the hedge ratio this financial year is 1:1 (2021: 1:1).

The impact to the foreign currency translation reserve on translation of the Group’s net investment in foreign subsidiaries that are being 
hedged by the Group’s borrowings was an increase of $26,000 (2021: increase of $428,000). The hedging income or loss recognised 
in “OCI” (other comprehensive income) before tax is equal to the change in fair value used for measuring effectiveness. There is no 
ineffectiveness in the years ended 30 June 2022 and 2021.

Significant accounting policies

Loans and borrowings

Interest‑bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised as financial liabilities at fair value net of directly attributable 
transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest‑bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised 
as well as through the EIR amortisation process. 

Borrowings are classified as non‑current liabilities except for those that mature in less than 12 months from the reporting date, 
which are classified as current liabilities, unless the borrower has the discretion to refinance or rollover the borrowings. 

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs can include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method and finance charges in respect  
of finance leases. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred except for borrowing costs incurred as part of the construction  
of a qualifying asset, in which case the costs are capitalised until the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.

Treasury shares are shares in the Company that are held by Hansen Technologies Limited Employee Share Plan Trust (the Trust)  
for the purpose of holding shares for the satisfaction of rights under the existing and future equity awards plan. The Trust was 
established on 24 June 2022.

The Trust provides the Group with greater flexibility to accommodate the incentive arrangements of the Group both now and into the 
future as the Group continues to expand its operations. The Trust will help manage the capital requirements, in that the Trust can use  
the contributions made by Hansen either to acquire shares in Hansen on market, or alternatively to subscribe for new shares in Hansen. 
In addition, the Trust provides an arm’s length vehicle through which shares in Hansen can be acquired and held in Hansen on behalf  
of employees and allows Hansen to satisfy corporations law requirements relating to companies dealing in their own shares as well  
as assisting with management of insider trading restrictions. Pacific Custodians Pty Limited, an independent third party, is the Trustee  
of the Trust, and will operate the Trust in accordance with Hansen Technologies Limited Employee Share Plan Trust Deed.

(c)  Rights of each type of share
Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in proportion to the number of shares held. 
At shareholders meetings, each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called.

(d)  Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue 
to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders while maintaining an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost 
of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return 
capital to shareholders, issue new shares, increase debt, sell assets to reduce debt or a combination of these activities.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2021 Financial Report.

Foreign subsidiaries

Subsidiaries that have a functional currency different to the presentation currency of the Group are translated as follows:

•  assets and liabilities are translated at year‑end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

•  income and expenses are translated at actual exchange rates or average exchange rates for the period, where appropriate; and

•  all resulting exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign 

currency translation reserve as a separate component of equity in the consolidated statement of financial position. Exchange 
differences arising on the reduction of a foreign subsidiary’s equity continues to be recognised in the Group’s foreign currency 
translation reserve until such time that the foreign subsidiary is disposed of.

(b)  Transactions with Key Management Personnel of the entity or its parent and their personally related entities
The terms and conditions of the transactions with Directors and their Director‑related entities were no more favourable than those 
available, or which might reasonably be expected to be available, on similar transactions to non‑Director‑related entities on an arm’s 
length basis.

28.  New and amended accounting standards and interpretations

(a)  Adoption of amended accounting standards that are first operative at 30 June 2022
The Group has adopted the following new and amended accounting standards and interpretations, applicable and effective for the 
financial year beginning 1 July 2021:

•  AASB 2020‑8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform [Phase 2]

•  AASB 2021‑3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID‑19 – Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021

•  IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) Interpretations and Agenda – Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud  

Computing Arrangement

These amendments do not have a significant impact on the Financial Report and therefore the disclosures have not been made.

The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.

(b)  Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not operative at 30 June 2022
The following new and revised accounting standards and interpretations have been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board at the reporting date, which are considered relevant to the Group but are not yet effective. The Directors’ assessment of the 
impact of these standards and interpretations is set out below:

(i)  Amendments to AASB 101: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non‑current

These amendments revise AASB 101 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non‑current. The amendments 
clarify (a) what is meant by a right to defer settlement; (b) that a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period; (c) that 
classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right, and (d) that only if an embedded derivative in  
a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.

Group’s assessment performed to date

The amendments are effective for the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2023 and must be applied retrospectively.  
The amendments are not expected to have a material impact to the Group.

(ii)  Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to AASB 3

The AASB has issued amendments to the Conceptual Framework to apply the new definition and recognition criteria to assets  
and liabilities, and introduces new concepts regarding the measurement, presentation and disclosure and derecognition of assets  
and liabilities.

Group’s assessment performed to date

The amendments are effective for annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2022 and apply prospectively. The amendments  
to the Conceptual Framework are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

(iii)  Property, plant and equipment: Proceeds before intended use – Amendments to AASB 116

These amendments prohibit entities deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling 
items produced while bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner 
intended by the management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those 
items, in profit or loss.

Group’s assessment performed to date

The amendment is effective for the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2022 and must be applied retrospectively to items  
of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented when the  
entity first applies the amendment.

9999

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  CONTINUED

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

(iv)   Onerous contracts – Costs of fulfilling a contract – Amendments to AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and 

Contingent Assets

The amendments specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss‑making.  
The amendments apply a “directly related cost approach”. The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services 
include both incremental costs and allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs do  
not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under contract.

Group’s assessment performed to date

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning 1 July 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Group will apply 
these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all of its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in 
which it first applies the amendments.

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

(v)  AASB 9 Financial Instruments – Fees in the ‘10 per cent’ test for derecognition of financial liabilities

The amendment clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability 
are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the 
borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. An entity applies the 
amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which  
the entity first applies the amendment.

Group’s assessment performed to date

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Group 
will apply the amendments to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period 
in which the entity first applies the amendment. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

(vi)   Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments to AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting  

Estimates and Errors

The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the 
correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates.

Group’s assessment performed to date

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2023 and apply to changes in accounting 
policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. The amendments are not expected  
to have a material impact on the Group.

(vii)   Disclosure of Accounting Policies – Amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB Practice 

Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements

The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for 
entities to disclose their “significant” accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their “material” accounting policies and adding 
guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures.

Group’s assessment performed to date

The amendments to AASB 101 are applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2023 with earlier application 
permitted. Since the amendments to the Practice Statement 2 provide non‑mandatory guidance on the application of the definition of 
material to accounting policy information, an effective date for these amendments is not necessary. The Group is currently assessing 
the impact of the amendments to determine the impact they will have on the Group’s accounting policy disclosures.

29.  Subsequent events

The Directors resolved to pay a final dividend of 5 cents per share (franked to 1.5 cents), comprising a regular dividend of 5 cents  
per share to be paid on 21 September 2022 (Note 21).

Apart from the above, there has been no other matter or circumstance that has arisen since 30 June 2022 that has significantly affected 
or may significantly affect:

(i) 

the operations, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2022, of the Group; or

(ii)  the results of those operations; or

(iii)  the state of affairs, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2022, of the Group.

when they become due and payable.

At the date of this declaration, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the members of the extended closed group identified 
in Note 27 will be able to meet any obligations or liabilities to which they are, or may become, subject by virtue of the deed of cross 
guarantee described in Note 27.

This declaration has been made after receiving the declarations required to be made by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer to the Directors in accordance with sections 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 for the financial year ended 30 June 2022.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Hansen Technologies Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Hansen Technologies Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the 
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the consolidated 
statement  of  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  the  consolidated
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including  a summary  of 
significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:

(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its

financial performance for the year then ended; and

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

Basis for Opinion

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  Our  responsibilities  under  those 
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  section of 
our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  ethical  requirements  of  the  Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards 
Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the 
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's 
report.

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

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial 
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed this matter

Recognition of Revenue

Refer to Note 3 in the financial statements

Revenue recognition was considered a key audit matter,
as it is complex and involves significant management
judgements.

The Group’s revenue is primarily derived from the 
provision of billing solution services to customers, 
maintenance and support, and licences. Revenue
determined for some of the service contracts is based on
stage of completion, calculated on the proportion of total
costs incurred at the reporting date compared to
management’s estimation of
contract.

Impairment of Intangible Assets
Refer to Note 12 in the financial statements

The Group has net book value goodwill of $220 million in
respect  of  acquisitions  of  subsidiaries  as  at  30  June 
2022. We identified this area as a Key Audit Matter due 
to  the  size  of  the  goodwill  balance,  and  because  the 
directors’  assessment  of  the  ‘value  in  use’  of  the  cash 
generating  unit  (“CGU”)  involves  significant  judgements 
about  the  future  underlying  cash  flows  of  the  business, 
discount rates and terminal growth applied.

For  the  year  ended  30  June  2022  management  have 
performed an impairment assessment over the goodwill 
balance by:

•

•

calculating the value in use for the CGU using a
discounted  cash  flow  model.  The  model  used
cash  flows  (revenues,  expenses and  capital
expenditure)  for  the  CGU  for  5  years,  with  a
terminal growth rate applied to the 5th year. The
cash flows were then discounted to net present
value  using  the  Company’s  weighted  average
cost of capital (WACC); and

comparing the resulting value in use of the CGU
to its respective book value.

Management also performed a sensitivity analysis over 
the value in use calculations, by varying the WACC and 
other assumptions.

in  which  results  are  monitored  and

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 but does not include the financial report and the 
auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal 
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as 
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.

Hansen Technologies Ltd Annual Report 2022Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  as  a whole  is free  from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A  further  description  of  our  responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  is  located  at  the  Auditing  and 
Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf.
