Chairperson's letter 
30 June 2023 

Dear Fellow Shareholders,  

The 2022/2023 financial year has proven to be one in which Healthia has made great progress in its mission to connect our 
patients and customers with allied health products and services, assisting them to live happier and healthier lives. 

Financial and Operational Performance 

In FY23, Healthia continued to deliver solid financial performance with  underlying revenues up 26.2% to $255.9m, despite 
challenging market conditions. 

Statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) recovered from FY22’s COVID-impacted result (FY22: $0.3m) to a record $10.3m result, 
despite  facing  continuing  absenteeism  from  COVID  and  flu,  and  one-off  non-recurring  costs  relating  to  acquisitions, 
integrations and restructuring. 

Underlying EBITDA increased by 52.7% to $37.5m, a credible result given that guidance of greater than $40m was issued 
approximately 18 months earlier. 

In FY23, Healthia continued to grow organically and  via acquisitive activity, the  latter seeing the  addition  of 29 clinics and 
stores to take the overall size of the group to 332 clinics and stores.  

The Board remains committed to Healthia’s portfolio expansion through disciplined acquisition of complementary businesses 
which support long-term value accretion. Our acquisition pipeline continues to be very robust, with numerous allied health 
businesses being reviewed as part of our active pipeline.   

People and Culture 

During FY23, we continued our focus on the culture and engagement of our teams through education, training and leadership 
programs, the positive impact of which was reflected in the findings of our national employee engagement survey which found 
that Healthia was “above the norm” when compared against benchmarking norms for (among other things) our culture, our 
people, our workplaces and our values.   

Our culture engagement score remained steady (FY23: 59% v FY22: 60%), a pleasing result given we have experienced our 
toughest  period  of  trading  since  listing,  amid  rapid  growth  and  multiple  changes  on  our  teams  as  we  further  integrate  the 
network.      

We are proud to acknowledge our recent graduate program as the most frequently cited reason as to why our 152 new and 
recent graduates chose Healthia as their preferred employer.  Furthermore, Healthia’s recent graduate program featured in 
two publications in scientific peer reviewed international journals with Healthia’s Chief of Education and Research, Dr Kerrie 
Evans, being invited to speak at the Australian  Physiotherapy Association’s National Conference in October 2022  and  the 
World Conference of Physiotherapy in July 2023. 

FY23 also saw Healthia run its biannual integrated allied health conference, Inspired 2022 on the Gold Coast.  This conference 
is a key staff retention strategy for Healthia and was attended by over 1,000 of Healthia’s clinicians and administration staff 
as well as internationally renowned presenters.   

Professional Development and R&D 

New  professional  development  offerings  this  year  included  the  Early  Career  Mentoring  Program, Accelerated  Mentoring 
Workshops, the Integrated Leadership Program and a specialised online stream for hand and upper limb therapists.  

These  programs  have  been  added  to  our  regular  suite  of  online  sessions,  leadership  programs  and  practical  workshops. 
Professional development remains a key focus of our business strategy, not only to provide career progression for our team 
members but to ensure we are delivering excellence in care to our patients and for our communities.  

Healthia  is  also  committed  to  fostering  research  and  development  particularly  where  the  project  focuses  on  clinically 
meaningful outcomes, technology-enabled health care or innovative methods of service delivery.  

Notably, Healthia’s growing relationship with Australian Universities and other national funding bodies can be seen through an 
expanding  number  of  successful  grant  applications,  student  placements,  and  attendances  at  Open  Days  and  graduation 
events.  

In addition to Professional Development and Research and Development, the execution of an enhanced Technology Roadmap 
has been cited as one our key strategic pillars. 

The Roadmap is intended to support Healthia’s team members in an increasingly complex healthcare landscape via the use 
of integrated national practice management software and data-driven decision making tools.

Chairperson's letter 
30 June 2023 

Scheme Implementation Deed  

As announced on 31 August 2023, Healthia entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed with Harold BidCo Pty Ltd, an entity 
owned by funds advised by Pacific Equity Partners (PEP), to acquire 100% of the fully diluted share capital in Healthia by way 
of a scheme of arrangement. 

Under the terms of the Scheme, Healthia shareholders will have the option to receive either $1.80 cash per Healthia share, 
unlisted  scrip  consideration  or  a  combination  of  cash  and  unlisted  scrip  consideration.  The  unlisted  scrip  consideration 
alternative provides Healthia shareholders with the potential to participate in the future of Healthia, subject to rounding and 
scale back mechanisms. 

For clarity, the cash consideration of $1.80 per Healthia share represents a significant premium of 84.6% to the last closing 
price of $0.975 per share prior to the announcement and 73.5% to the 3-month volume weighted average price up to and 
including 30 August 2023. 

As such,  Healthia’s  Board  has taken  a position to unanimously recommend the Scheme, subject  to no Superior Proposal 
emerging  and  the Independent  Expert concluding (and continuing to conclude) that the Scheme  is in the best interests of 
Healthia shareholders. 

While the Scheme is subject to certain conditions - which must be satisfied or waived before the Scheme can be implemented 
– the opportunity to partner with PEP is seen by the Board as one which will enable Healthia to fully deliver value as Australia 
and New Zealand’s leading diversified allied healthcare provider. 

Dividend 

The Directors of Healthia Limited have not yet determined whether to declare a final dividend for FY23 given the terms of the 
proposed acquisition of Healthia by way of the aforementioned Scheme Implementation Deed.  

Thank You 

My thanks extend, once again, to all Healthia staff for their ongoing dedication and commitment - your hard work is reflected 
in what has been an outstanding year of service, innovation and growth. 

To our shareholders, I would also like to say thank you for your continued belief and support in our vision and mission. 

On behalf of the Healthia Board, 

Dr Glen Frank Richards 

Chairperson

Healthia Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Review of operations 
30 June 2023 

Commentary 

The  statutory  financial  performance  of  the  Consolidated  Entity  was  impacted  by  staff  absenteeism,  patient  /  customer 
cancellations (due to spikes in COVID and other illness) and, more recently, uncertain economic conditions, and one-off non-
recurring  costs  relating  to  acquisitions  and  restructuring.  The  Consolidated  Entity’s  Underlying  Net  Profit  After  Tax  and 
Amortisation (NPATA)1 amounted to $18.3 million (30 June 2022: profit of $9.2 million), or an increase of 99.5%.       

A reconciliation between statutory and underlying financial performance is provided below at Table 4. 

1.  Significant changes in the state of affairs 

Significant changes in the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity during the financial year include: 

i. 

Acquisitions 

The Consolidated Entity deployed $23.4 million (FY22: $111.3 million) of capital on 29 new allied health clinics and 
stores during the Financial Year as set out in Note 35: Business Combinations included in this Annual Report. 

ii. 

Capital Raising 

During the first half of FY23, the Consolidated Entity successfully undertook a capital raising of $11.0 million, providing 
funds to support working capital and provide flexibility for further acquisitions.  

iii. 

Long Term Incentive Performance Rights & Retention Performance Rights 

On 29 November 2022, the Consolidated Entity’s shareholders approved the grant of 1,114,594 unlisted performance 
rights  to  Executive  Directors  with  a  nil  grant  and  exercise  price.  The  performance  rights  will  vest  on  30  June  2025 
(subject to satisfaction of the relevant vesting conditions) and expire on 31 October 2025. The vesting conditions include 
a number of performance and service conditions. The performance rights were issued on 27 March 2023.  

iv. 

Impacts from Absenteeism 

During FY23, Healthia experienced high levels of team member absenteeism in Financial Quarter 1 of FY23 due to 
illness and isolations resulting from COVID.  Furthermore, in Q4FY23, Healthia again experienced higher than expected 
team member absenteeism due to spikes in COVID and other illness.  This saw impacts on trading as team members 
were unable to present to work to service the Company’s patients.   Chart 1 Sick Leave as % of Wages by financial 
quarter depicts these periods of abnormal staff absenteeism:

1Underlying NPATA is a non-IFRS measure and equals net profit after income tax expense plus amortisation of customer list intangibles. Underlying profit reflects statutory profit 
as adjusted to reflect the Directors’ assessment of the result for the ongoing business activities of the Consolidated Entity, in accordance with AICD/Finsia principles of recording 
underlying profit.

v.  Queens Memorial Day 

Healthia’s trading performance was further impacted (by c.$1.0 million) during FY23 by the unanticipated special public 
holiday (National Day of Mourning for the Queen). 

vi.  Organic Revenue Growth 

While  trading  performance  was  impacted  by  a  number  of  factors  including  those  detailed  above,  Healthia  achieved 
strong organic like for like revenue growth during the year, when compared to FY22 which was also impacted by the 
effects of staff absenteeism and patient cancellations due to COVID.  Table 1 Quarterly Organic Revenue Growth FY23 
shows organic like for like revenue growth percentage per quarter for FY23.  While organic revenue growth was strong 
in H2FY23, it was impacted in Q4FY23 from the higher levels of staff absenteeism as highlighted in Chart 1.

To assist users of this report, information about the underlying performance of the Consolidated Entity is  presented in Table 
3 below which excludes the impact of acquisition and integration costs of the 29 (FY22: 95) allied health businesses acquired 
during the period and is adjusted for other one-off non-recurring items of income and expense. The Directors believe that this 
information is useful for investors and shareholders as it presents the Consolidated Entity’s financial performance as if these 
non-recurring transactions or circumstances had not occurred. 

The Consolidated Entity’s underlying performance is provided on an unaudited basis in Table 3 and a reconciliation between 
statutory and underlying performance is provided further below in Table 4.

1 For the purposes of underlying performance, the Consolidated Entity calculates underlying revenue as revenue from contracts with customers and other income.  The Consolidated 
Entity also included $0.6 million NSW JobSaver revenue subsidies received in FY22 only, nil in FY23. 

2 Underlying profit reflects statutory profit as adjusted to reflect the Directors’ assessment of the result for the ongoing business activities of the Consolidated Entity, in accordance 
with AICD/Finsia principles of recording underlying profit. Underlying profit has not been audited. 

3 Underlying EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and equals earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. Underlying EBITDA has not been audited. 

4Underlying EBITDA has been adjusted for the impacts of AASB16.  Lease payments of $20.7 million (FY22: $17.8 million) have been included to provide users with a like-for-like 
comparison with PCP. 

5Underlying NPATA is a non-IFRS measure and equals net profit after income tax expense plus amortisation of customer list intangibles. Underlying NPATA has not been audited. 

6The net post-tax P&L impact of the leasing standard, AASB16, has been added back to NPATA to provide users with a like-for-like comparison with PCP. The pre-tax impact of 
AASB 16 'Leases' in the current period is comprised of the following: occupancy costs increased by $20.0 million (FY22: $17.8 million), depreciation expense increased by $19.0 
million (FY22: $16.0 million), and finance costs increased by $3.1 million (FY22: $3.1 million). The net post-tax P&L impact has not been audited. 

7Underlying EPS or earnings per share is calculated as underlying NPATA attributable to the owners of Healthia Limited divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
on issue for the period (FY23: 136.3 million, FY22: 117.9 million). Underlying EPS has not been audited. 

8Non-Controlling Interest divided by Underlying NPATA. NCI/ Underlying NPATA has not been audited.

1 Underlying NPATA is a non-IFRS measure and equals net profit after income tax expense plus amortisation of customer list intangibles. Underlying profit reflects statutory profit 
as adjusted to reflect the Directors’ assessment of the result for the ongoing business activities of the Consolidated Entity, in accordance with AICD/Finsia principles of recording 
underlying profit. Underlying NPATA has not been audited. 

2 The Consolidated Entity incurred $1.0 million (FY22: $3.4 million) of costs directly related to excess staff absenteeism related to illness and COVID.   

3 The Consolidated Entity incurred one-off acquisition costs of $3.4 million (FY22: $6.9 million) in relation to the acquisition of the 27 allied health businesses acquired.  Acquisition 
costs include but are not limited to external legal, financial and taxation professional advisory services, stamp duty and other acquisition compliance costs, property lease assignment 
costs and directly attributable wage costs. 

When calculated as a percentage of capital deployed for the period (FY23: $23.4 million; FY22: $111.3 million), acquisition costs represent approximately 14.6%  (FY22: 6.2%), 
which is in line with prior periods (FY21: 5.9%, FY20: 14.8%, FY19: 13.0%).  

4 The Consolidated Entity incurred costs of $0.8 million for the integration of new businesses during the period.  

5 Restructuring costs of $3.9 million relating to clinics which have been merged, relocated, closed or are in the process of being closed, and the associated earnings contribution of 
those clinics during the period. 

6 Non-cash share-based payments expense relating to the issuance of Performance Rights to key management personnel, key clinicians and administration staff which remains 
subject to the achievement of a number of vesting conditions. 

7 Amortisation of customer lists and software intangibles during the current period. 

8  AASB 16 ‘Leases’  had a significant  impact  on the current  period financial  performance.  This  impact is  comprised  of the  following changes due the  application  of AASB 16: 
occupancy costs increased by $20.7 million (FY22: $17.8 million), depreciation expense increased by $19.0 million (FY22: $16.0 million), and finance costs increased by $3.1 
million (FY22: $3.1 million).  

9 Fair value adjustment associated with the reversal of contingent consideration which is no longer expected to be achieved due to lower than expected trading. 

10 Doubtful debts relate to a revision in recoverability of trade debtors.

5.  Financial Overview – Underlying Cash Flow 

The Consolidated Entity has historically delivered strong cash flow conversion. As shown in Table 5 below, the underlying 
cash flow conversion continues to be strong but  FY23’s conversion percentage reflects a strategic push into footwear and 
footwear accessories by the Feet and Ankles division in preparation for spring and summer of calendar 2023.

6.  Risk Management 

The  Consolidated  Entity  is  committed  to  identifying  and  mitigating  risks  that  it  faces  in  relation  to  its  operations,  business 
strategy  and  financial  prospects  to  maintain  a  sustainable  business  and  protect  the  interests  of  its  shareholders.  The 
Consolidated Entity has an established Audit and Risk Committee which is responsible for, among other things, identifying 
and monitoring significant business risk factors within the Consolidated Entity.  More information on how the Consolidated 
Entity identifies and manages risks can be found in The Consolidated Entity’s Corporate Governance Statement and under 
the  Corporate  Governance  section  of  our  website.  A  non-exhaustive  list  of  material  risks  and  the  mitigation  strategies 
implemented by the Consolidated Entity are set out below in Table 6.  

The Consolidated Entity is not subject to any significant environmental regulations within the areas it operates.  All key material 
social and governance risks are identified in Table 6.

Consolidated Entity’s Response 
Comprehensive internal policies and procedures have 
been developed to minimise the risk of patient and staff 
member illness. 
Targeted recall programs in place to re-book patients 
that have cancelled appointments due to COVID. 
The scale and geographic diversification of operations 
provides  a  level  of  risk  mitigation  with  respect  to 
localised outbreaks and/or restrictions. 

is  undertaken  prior 

Extensive internal processes and procedures to ensure 
sufficient  due  diligence 
to 
completion. 
Comprehensive integration plans are put in place for all 
acquisitions  and  are  managed  by  an  experienced 
internal integrations team.  The Consolidated Entity will 
continue  to  be  disciplined  in  executing  its  growth 
strategy  taking  into  consideration  current  trading 
conditions.   

The  Consolidated  Group  has  developed  a  Clinician 
Retention Program which allows clinicians to have an 
ownership interest in clinics (via Clinic Class Shares).  
A structured learning and education program is also in 
place to provide world class learning and education to 
position  the  Consolidated  Entity  as  an  employer  of 
choice. 
The  yearly  graduate  clinician  intake  is  expected  to 
cover any outstanding vacancies. 

The Consolidated Entity actively manages its leverage 
position  and  maintains  a  close  and 
transparent 
relationship  with  its  financiers  to  ensure  ongoing 
support.   

Healthia Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Review of operations 
30 June 2023 

Table 6: Material Business Risks 

Risk Area 
Pandemic Risk 

Acquisition Risk 

Potential Impact 
The economic consequences of the COVID-19 
pandemic could become more severe and may impact 
revenue and operations resulting from increased 
patient appointment cancellations and staff 
absenteeism.  Further, some of the Consolidated 
Entity’s assets and liabilities comprise financial 
instruments that are carried at fair value, with changes 
in fair value recognised in the Consolidated Entity’s 
income statement.  Market declines or weakened 
trading conditions could negatively impact the value of 
such financial instruments (including the impairment of 
goodwill).  
The Consolidated Entity may be unable to identify 
and/or execute suitable acquisition opportunities and a 
failure to do so could have an adverse impact on the 
Consolidated Entity.  Further, new businesses may not 
perform in line with expectations and could be 
impacted if sufficient due diligence is not performed 
and/or if the acquired businesses are not integrated 
effectively. 

Staff Retention 

The Consolidated Entity relies on clinicians to provide 
allied health services to patients and a high turnover or 
the inability to retain experienced staff, specifically 
clinicians, could impact the quality and/or availability of 
clinical services. 

Funding Risk 

The availability of debt funding or an inability to secure 
funding or refinance current debt facilities may 
adversely impact the financial position of the 
Consolidated Entity.  In addition, failure to meet 
financial covenants under the Consolidated Entity’s 
finance facilities, and the occurrence of other specified 
events (including goodwill being impaired by 5% or 
more or certain changes in key personnel occurring) 
may lead to an event of default or review event under 
the finance facility.  From time to time the Consolidated 
Entity seeks waivers of various aspects of its facility 
agreements including financial covenants.  There is no 
guarantee that waivers sought will be granted by the 
banking syndicate in which case there is a risk that the 
Consolidated Entity will breach its finance facilities.  If 
an event of default or a review event applicable to any 
given facility occurs, there may be a requirement to 
make repayments in advance of the relevant maturity 
dates and/or termination of the facility which may 
impact on the financial performance and position of the 
Consolidated Entity and its ability to operate in the 
ordinary course of business.  

Interest Rate Risk 

Changes in interest rates will impact the costs of the 
Consolidated Entity’s debt funding with a majority of its 
bank borrowings at variable interest rates.  

The Consolidated Entity has received waivers from its 
financiers  with  respect  to  entering  into  interest  rate 
swap  contracts.  The  waivers  expire  30  September 
2023 after which the Consolidated Entity may look to 
enter into further interest rate swap contracts to hedge 
against  potential  exposure  to  fluctuations  in  interest 
rates. 

Cyber Security 

Risk of the Consolidated Entity’s IT systems being 
accessed which could result in a failure of or 
interruption to IT systems and the business or a breach 
of patient privacy.  Any such failures or breaches could 
cause reputational damage, regulatory impositions and 
financial loss. 

The  Consolidated  Entity  has  comprehensive  policies 
and procedures in place regarding the use and storage 
of confidential information as well as controls in place 
to minimise technology related business interruption.  
Cyber  security  insurance  is  also  in  place  to  mitigate 
potential financial losses.

Healthia Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directors' report 
30 June 2023 

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity during the financial year. 

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year 
New Acquisitions 
After Reporting Date, the Consolidated Entity entered into binding agreements to acquire and has reached settlement the 
following businesses: 
  ● Walk Without Pain Podiatry Clinics (3 podiatry clinics located in Queensland); and, 
  ● Melbourne Hand Therapy (4 hand therapy clinics and an additional 9 sessional locations located in Victoria). 

Total upfront consideration of $3.6 million for the acquisitions (plus stock, less employee entitlements) is as follows: 

● 
● 

 Upfront cash consideration: $2.8 million; and, 
 Issue of Clinic Class Shares: $0.8 million. 

In addition to the upfront consideration, contingent consideration of up to $0.7million may become payable in cash, subject 
to the achievement of pre-defined earnings targets. 

Scheme Implementation Deed 
On 31 August 2023, the Consolidated Entity entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed (the “Scheme”) with Harold BidCo 
Pty Ltd (“Harold BidCo”) ACN 670 606 827, an entity owned by funds advised by Pacific Equity Partners under which it is 
proposed that Harold BidCo will acquire 100% of the fully diluted share capital in Healthia by way of a scheme of arrangement.  

Under the Scheme, Healthia shareholders will have the option to receive either $1.80 cash per Healthia share or unlisted 
scrip consideration, or a mix of cash and unlisted scrip consideration (subject to certain conditions).  

The Scheme is subject to certain conditions, which must be satisfied or waived before the Scheme can be implemented, 
including  obtaining  Healthia  shareholder  approval  following  receipt  of  an  Independent  Expert’s  Report  concluding  (and 
continuing to conclude) that the Scheme is in the best interest of the Healthia shareholders. 

In the event that the Scheme proceeds, Healthia Shareholders who participate in obtaining script consideration as part of 
the transaction may be subject to alternative risks and uncertainties from those as set out in Table 6: Material Business Risks 
of the Review of Operations in this report, and general market risks.  

In the event the Scheme does not proceed, Healthia Shareholders will continue to be subject to the risks and uncertainties 
associated  with  Healthia’s  business  and  general  market  risks.  Furthermore,  if  the  Scheme  does  not  proceed,  and  no 
comparable  proposal  or  superior  proposal  is  received  by  the  Healthia  Board,  then  Healthia’s  share  price  is  likely  to  be 
impacted.  

Details of the proposed acquisition are contained in a separate announcement released to the ASX on 31 August 2023. 

Impact of Scheme Implementation Deed on Performance Rights 
On 30 August 2023, the Healthia Board, using the ability to retrospectively amend the performance rights, determined that 
should the Scheme Implementation Deed become Effective, then all vesting conditions on all unvested Performance Rights, 
excluding the service condition, will be waived, with such resulting vested Performance Rights being automatically exercised, 
and issued, prior to the Scheme Record Date with each holder domiciled in Australia entitled to be issued one Healthia Share 
for  each  vested  Performance  Right  (as  applicable)  held  (that  is,  on  a  one  for  one  basis). Such  Healthia  Shares  will  be 
captured by the Scheme. 

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the 
Consolidated Entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the Consolidated Entity's state of affairs in future financial 
years. 

Environmental regulation 
The Consolidated Entity is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State 
law.

currently has or is looking to achieve; 
 Assisting  the  Board  in  adopting  measurable  objectives  for  having  diversity  throughout  the  Consolidated  Entity  and

Healthia Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directors' report 
30 June 2023 

Remuneration overview and strategy 
The  performance  of  the  Consolidated  Entity  depends  on  the  quality  of  its  directors  and  executives.  The  remuneration 
philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high-quality personnel. 

The  objective  of  the  Consolidated  Entity's  executive  remuneration  framework  is  to  ensure  reward  for  performance  is 
competitive  and  appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework  aligns  executive  reward  with  the  achievement  of 
strategic objectives and the creation of value for all stakeholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice 
for the delivery of reward.  

The Board ensures that executive rewards satisfy the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 competitiveness and reasonableness 
 acceptability to shareholders 
 performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation 
 transparency 

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to stakeholder, including shareholders' interests. The Board 
has considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by: 
● 
● 

 having economic profit as a core component of plan design 
 focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering 
constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value 
 attracting and retaining high calibre executives 

● 

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by: 
● 
● 
● 

 rewarding capability and experience 
 reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth 
 providing a clear structure for earning rewards 

The Consolidated Entity utilises both short and long term incentives in addition to fixed remuneration to incentivise executives 
and reward performance. Fixed remuneration reflects executives’ qualifications, capabilities and experience and is aimed to 
attract and retain high performing and high quality experienced executives to ensure shareholder interests are managed in 
a  responsible  and  effective  manner. The  STI’s  are  to  award  achievement  of  specific  and  challenging  targets  and  key 
performance indicators during the financial year.   

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  Non-Executive  Director  and  Executive  Director 
remuneration is separate. 

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration 
Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the Consolidated Entity. A portion of cash bonus 
and incentive payments are dependent on defined earnings per share targets being met. The remaining portion of the cash 
bonus and incentive payments are linked to job specific key performance indicators and at the discretion of the Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee.  

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is of the opinion that the continued financial performance of the Consolidated 
Entity can be attributed in part to the adoption of performance based compensation and is satisfied that this will continue to 
increase shareholder wealth if maintained over the coming years. 

Performance rights plan 
On  27  March  2023,  following  shareholder  approval  at  the  2022  Annual  General  Meeting  (AGM),  1,114,594  unlisted 
performance rights were granted to Executive Directors (667,500 - Wesley Coote, 245,625 - Colin Kangisser and 201,469 
Lisa Roach), with a nil grant and exercise price. The performance rights will vest on 30 June 2025 (subject to satisfaction of 
the relevant vesting conditions) and expire on 31 October 2025. The vesting conditions include a number of performance 
and service conditions. 

Retention performance rights plan 
On 27 March 2023, following shareholder approval at the AGM, 432,996 unlisted retention performance rights were granted 
to Executive Directors (222,500 - Wesley Coote, 115,643 - Colin Kangisser and 94,853 Lisa Roach), with a nil grant and 
exercise price. The retention performance rights will vest on 30 June 2023 (subject to satisfaction of the relevant vesting 
conditions) and expire on 31 October 2023. The vesting conditions include a number of performance and service conditions.

Healthia Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directors' report 
30 June 2023 

The fair value of performance rights (equity settled) with the relative TSR condition is calculated at the date of grant using 
the  Monte-Carlo  simulation  model,  taking  into  account  the  impact  of  the  TSR  condition  and  dividends  during  the  vesting 
period. The value disclosed is the portion of fair value of the performance rights recognised in each reporting period. 

Refer to 'Share-based compensation' section of this remuneration report for the vesting conditions of the performance rights. 

The performance rights do not rank equally with existing ordinary shares quoted. Prior to vesting, the performance rights do 
not carry a right to vote or receive dividends. 

Where shares are issued upon the vesting and exercise of the performance rights (within the periods detailed below), those 
shares will rank equally with existing ordinary shares of Healthia Limited. To participate in a dividend, the ordinary shares 
must be issued prior to the record date for the dividend. 

Use of remuneration consultants 
During  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2023,  the  Consolidated  Entity  engaged  a  remuneration  consultant,  Godfrey 
Remuneration Group Pty Ltd (GRG), to review its existing remuneration policies for the Chief Executive Office and Managing 
Directors remuneration and structure of the performance rights plans.  GRG was paid $16,000 plus GST for this advice. 

An agreed set of protocols were put in place to ensure that the remuneration recommendations would be free from undue 
influence from the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. These protocols include requiring that the consultant not 
communicate with the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director without a member of the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee being present, and that the consultant not provide any information relating to the outcome of the engagement 
with  the  Chief  Executive Officer and Managing Director. The  Board is  also required to  make  inquiries of the consultant's 
processes at the conclusion of the engagement to ensure that they are satisfied that any recommendations made have been 
free  from  undue  influence.  The  Board  is  satisfied  that  these  protocols  were  followed  and  as  such  there  was  no  undue 
influence. 

Voting and comments made at the Company's 2022 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') 
At the AGM, 95.45% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 
2022. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

Executive remuneration overview 
The  Consolidated  Entity  aims  to  reward  executives  based  on  their  position  and  responsibility,  with  a  level  and  mix  of 
remuneration which has both fixed and variable components: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 Base pay and non-monetary benefits 
 Short-term performance incentives 
 Share-based payments 
 Other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave 

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration. 

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation  and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed  annually by  the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of 
the Consolidated Entity and comparable market remunerations. 

Executives receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash. 

Short-Term Incentives 
The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance hurdles 
of  Executives.  STI  payments  are  granted  to  Executives  based  on  specific  and  challenging  annual  targets  and  key 
performance  indicators  ('KPI's')  being  achieved.  KPI's  include  profit  contribution,  customer  satisfaction,  leadership 
contribution  and  product  management. Performance  hurdles  are  linked  to  key  performance  indicators  of  the  Executive 
personnel, key non-financial targets aligned to Healthia’s strategic objectives and Board approval. 

Executives are eligible for an annual STIs with an opportunity to earn up to 35% of their annual base fixed remuneration.  

Ongoing participation by executives in the STI plan is at the discretion of the Board. With reference to recommendations 
from the Nomination and  Remuneration  Committee,  the Board will approve all  executive  STI payments, and may use  its 
discretion to adjust STI remuneration up or down, to avoid unattended outcomes. 

Long Term Incentives 
The long-term incentives ('LTI') take the form of an equity incentive (Performance Rights). Performance Rights are awarded 
to executives and subject to performance hurdles over a three year period. Performance hurdles consist of indexed Total 
Shareholders  Return  and  growth  in  Earnings  Per  Share  of  the  Consolidated  Entity.  The  Nomination  and  Remuneration 
Committee reviewed the long-term equity-linked performance incentives specifically for Executives during the year ended 
2023.

Non-executive director arrangements 
Fees  and  payments  to  Non-Executive  Directors  reflect  the  demands  and  responsibilities  of  their  role.  Non-Executive 
Directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure Non-
Executive Directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market.  

Non-Executive Directors do not receive share options or other performance based pay or incentives.  

ASX  listing  rules  require  the  aggregate  Non-Executive  Directors'  remuneration  be  determined  periodically  by  a  general 
meeting. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 4 July 2018, where the shareholders 
approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $500,000 per annum.  

All non-executive directors are appointed under a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the board policies and terms, 
including remuneration, relevant to the office of director. 

The current base fees, detailed below, were reviewed with effect from 1 September 2022. Directors may also be reimbursed 
for all travel and other expenses they incur in connection with the Consolidated Entity.

Service condition 

EPS Growth condition 

 The performance rights will be exercisable upon satisfaction of the Service condition, 
being continuous employment with the Company from Grant Date until the Vesting 
Date. 

 The Company’s compounding annual growth in underlying Earnings Per Share 
(underlying EPS) for the period from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025 based on the 
following vesting scale: 

 - Below threshold and target being less than 4% - Nil Vesting 
 - Threshold and target being between 4% and 10% - Pro rata vesting 
 - Stretch being over 10% - 100% vesting 

The underlying EPS results to be used will be the Basic EPS recorded in the 
Company’s audited financial statements in the relevant years, adjusted for one-off 
and non-recurring items and the amortisation of customer lists, as determined by the 
Board in its discretion.  

Up to 50% of the Performance Rights will be exercisable if this condition is achieved. 

Indexed TSR (iTSR) 

 Satisfaction of the iTSR performance condition against the S&P/ ASX Small 
Industrials Index, based on the following vesting scale: 

  - Stretch being index movement of greater than 10% - 100% vesting 
 - Between target and stretch being index movement of between 5% and 10% - pro 
rata vesting 
 - Target being index movement of 5% - 50% vesting 
 - Between threshold and target being index movement of between 0% and 5% - pro 
rata vesting 
 - Threshold being equal to index movement - 25% vesting 
 - Below threshold being less than the index movement - Nil vesting 

 TSR is the sum of the change in share price and dividends (assumed to be reinvested 
in shares) during the Vesting Period. It is annualised for the purpose of the 
above vesting scale. The TSR of the Company will be calculated and converted to a 
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) value for the purpose of assessment against 
this scale. During periods of nil dividends being declared, TSR is equal to the change 
in share price. 
 Up to 50% of the performance rights will be exercisable if this condition is achieved.

Vesting conditions retention performance rights granted 27 March 2023 for all Key Management Personnel 

Service condition 

FY23 EBITDA(u) 

 The performance rights will be exercisable upon satisfaction of the Service condition, 
being continuous employment with the Company from Grant Date until the Vesting 
Date. 

 Achievement by the Company of EBITDA(u) of greater than $40 million for the 
financial year ended 30 June 2023. This reflects the Company's guidance on 31 
August 2022 that it expects to deliver EBITDA(u) in FY23 of greater than $40 million.  

EBITDA(u) or Underlying EBITDA is statutory earnings before interest, tax, 
depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) as adjusted to reflect the Directors’ 
assessment of the result for the ongoing business activities of the Consolidated 
Entity, in accordance with AICD/Finsia principles of recording underlying profit. 
EBITDA(u) is presented on a pre-AASB16 basis. Underlying EBITDA is a non-IFRS 
measure and will be determined by the Directors having regard to those principles 
and is not audited. 

The performance rights do not rank equally with existing ordinary shares quoted. Prior to vesting, the performance rights do 
not carry a right to vote or receive dividends. 

Where shares are issued upon the vesting and exercise of the performance rights (within the periods detailed above), those 
shares will rank equally with existing ordinary shares of Healthia Limited. 

To participate in a dividend, the ordinary shares must be issued prior to the record date for the dividend. 

The terms and conditions of each grant of performance rights over ordinary shares affecting remuneration of Directors and 
other KMP in this financial year or future reporting years are as follows:

Directors' report 
30 June 2023 

Indemnity and insurance of officers 
The Company has indemnified the Directors and executives of the Consolidated Entity for costs incurred, in their capacity as 
a Director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith. 

Post the end of the financial year, the Consolidated Entity paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the Directors and 
executives of the company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance 
prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. 

Proceedings on behalf of the Company 
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf 
of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility 
on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings. 

Non-audit services 
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
are outlined in note 31 to the financial statements. 

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001. 

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 31 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 
● 

 all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 
of the auditor; and 
 none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code 
of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) issued by the Accounting Professional and 
Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-
making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards. 

● 

Officers of the Consolidated Entity who are former partners of BDO Audit Pty Ltd 
There are no officers of the Consolidated Entity who are former partners of BDO Audit Pty Ltd. 

Rounding of amounts 
The  Company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Corporations  Instrument  2016/191,  issued  by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that 
Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

Auditor's independence declaration 
A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section  307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out 
immediately after this Directors' report. 

Auditor 
BDO Audit Pty Ltd continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001. 

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of Directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Healthia Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2023 

Note 1. General information 

The financial statements cover Healthia Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Healthia Limited ('Company', 'Healthia' 
or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year (referred to in these financial statements as 
the 'Consolidated Entity'). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Healthia Limited's functional 
and presentation currency. 

Healthia Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its  registered office 
and principal place of business is: 

Level 4, East Tower 
25 Montpelier Road 
Bowen Hills QLD 4006 

A description of the nature of the Consolidated Entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the  Directors' 
report, which is not part of the financial statements. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 29 September 2023. 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective 
notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 
The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these 
Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the 
Consolidated Entity. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 

Going concern 
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business 
activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. 

Working capital deficiency and compliance with banking covenants 
As presented in the financial statements, the Consolidated Entity generated a profit after tax of $10.3 million (FY22: $0.34 
million) and had net cash inflows from operating activities of $22.6 million (FY22: $17.2 million) for the year ended 30 June 
2023. As at that date the entity had net current liabilities of $15.5 million (FY22: $25.1 million). Within these current liabilities, 
the Directors further note: 

● 

● 

 $19.2 million included in current liabilities relates to property leases (under AASB16) where the associated right-of-use 
assets are recognised as non-current assets. Cash flow from customers will be generated from the Consolidated Entity's 
business sites/clinics and a portion of these cash flows will be used to pay the respective lease liability repayments 
(property rents); and 
 Other current liabilities of $3.3 million includes contingent consideration for business acquisitions (earn-outs), which will 
only be achieved if cash flow generation remains as forecast. 

The directors also believe that the preparation of the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting is 
appropriate based on cash flow forecasts prepared, which show the Consolidated Entity is expected to be able to pay its 
debts as and when they fall due for the next 12 months and to realise the value of its assets and discharge its liabilities in 
the ordinary course of business. Therefore, the directors believe that the preparation of the financial statements using the 
going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.

Healthia Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2023 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

● 

● 

● 

Key  to  the  forecasts  are  relevant  assumptions  regarding  the  business,  and  about  financing  and  shareholder  support;  in 
particular: 
● 

 Revenue  and  cash  flow  targets  –  the  Consolidated  Entity  has  prepared  a  cash  flow  forecast  based  on  reasonable 
assumptions that the directors believe are achievable; 
 Future business combinations – the cash flow forecasts do not incorporate any future business combinations, with the 
assumption that future acquisitions will be funded through a combination of the bank loan facility and shares; 
 Capital raising – during the year the Consolidated Entity successfully  undertaken a capital raising providing funds to 
support working capital and provide flexibility for further acquisitions; 
 Bank support – in February 2023, the Consolidated Entity has obtained from its financiers: 
1. An increase in the allowable cap for adjustments / addbacks during any 12-month period from $3 million to $5 million 
when  calculating  Adjusted  EBITDA  for  the  purposes  of  its  bank  covenants,  in  particular  for  the  Leverage  Covenant 
(Debt Adjusted EBITDA);  
2. Waivers in relation to the requirement to enter into a new Hedge Agreement until the end of September 2023; and 
3. An increase in the total facility limit from $100.0m to $120.0m. 

Basis of preparation 
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate 
for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for,  where  applicable,  the 
revaluation of derivative financial instruments. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Consolidated Entity's accounting policies. The areas 
involving  a  higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where  assumptions  and  estimates  are  significant  to  the 
financial statements, are disclosed in note 3. 

Parent entity information 
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Consolidated Entity only. 
Supplementary information about the parent entity, Healthia Limited, is disclosed in note 34. 

Principles of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company as at 30 June 
2023 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Consolidated Entity has control. The Consolidated Entity controls an entity 
when the Consolidated Entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the 
ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from 
the  date  on  which  control  is  transferred  to  the  Consolidated  Entity.  They  are  de-consolidated  from  the  date  that  control 
ceases. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset 
transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies 
adopted by the Consolidated Entity. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, 
without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the  consideration 
transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable 
to the parent.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the Consolidated Entity. 
Losses incurred by the Consolidated Entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit 
balance. 

Where the Consolidated Entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and 
non-controlling  interest  in  the  subsidiary  together  with  any  cumulative  translation  differences  recognised  in  equity.  The 
Consolidated  Entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and  the  fair value  of  any  investment retained 
together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

Current and non-current classification 
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. 

An  asset  is  classified  as  current  when:  it  is  either  expected  to  be  realised  or  intended  to  be  sold  or  consumed  in  the 
Consolidated Entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 
12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used 
to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Consolidated Entity's normal operating cycle; 
it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no 
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities 
are classified as non-current. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. 

Associates 
Associates  are  entities  over  which  the  Consolidated  Entity  has  significant  influence  but  not  control  or  joint  control. 
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or 
losses  of  the  associate  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  and  the  share  of  the  movements  in  equity  is  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive  income.  Investments  in  associates  are  carried  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  at  cost  plus  post-
acquisition changes in the Consolidated Entity's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is 
included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends 
received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. 

When the Consolidated Entity's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any 
unsecured long-term receivables, the Consolidated Entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations 
or made payments on behalf of the associate. 

The Consolidated Entity discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of significant influence over the associate 
and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the associate's carrying amount, fair value 
of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss. 

Investments and other financial assets 
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial 
measurement,  except for financial assets at fair value through profit  or  loss.  Such assets  are subsequently measured at 
either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business 
model  within  which  such  assets  are  held  and  the  contractual  cash  flow  characteristics  of  the  financial  asset  unless  an 
accounting mismatch is being avoided. 

Financial assets  are  derecognised  when the rights to receive cash  flows have expired or  have  been  transferred and the 
Consolidated  Entity  has  transferred  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  When  there  is  no  reasonable 
expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off. 

Financial assets at amortised cost 
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost only if both of the following conditions are met: (i) it is held within a business 
model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms of the financial 
asset represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Impairment of financial assets 
The Consolidated Entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured 
at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon 
the Consolidated Entity's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk 
has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without 
undue cost or effort to obtain. 

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit 
loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a 
default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is 
determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit 
losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of 
anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually 
for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-
financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its 
recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to 
form a cash-generating unit. 

Finance costs 
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance  costs are expensed in 
the period in which they are incurred. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of 
the expense. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  tax  authority  is  included  in  other  receivables  or  other  payables  in  the  statement  of 
financial position. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities 
which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. 

Rounding of amounts 
The  Company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Corporations  Instrument  2016/191,  issued  by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that 
Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, 
have  not  been  early  adopted  by  the  Consolidated  Entity  for  the  annual  reporting  period  ended  30  June  2023.  The 
Consolidated Entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2023 

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that 
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in 
relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and 
assumptions  on historical  experience  and on  other various factors, including expectations of future  events, management 
believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal 
the related actual results.  

Allowance for expected credit losses for trade receivables 
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment for trade receivables requires a degree of estimation and judgement. 
It is based on the lifetime  expected credit  loss, grouped  based on days overdue, and  makes assumptions to allocate an 
overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection 
rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and forward-looking information that is available. The allowance 
for expected credit losses, as disclosed in note 10, is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. 
The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower. 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The  Consolidated  Entity  tests  annually,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  impairment, 
whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting 
policy stated in  note 2. The recoverable amounts of  cash-generating units have been  determined based on value-in-use 
calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based  on the current 
cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill has been allocated to the Cash-Generating Units (CGUs), or groups of CGUs, 
that  are  expected  to  benefit  from  the  synergies  of  the  business  combination  and  which  represent  the  level  at  which 
management will monitor and manage the goodwill. The Consolidated Entity has identified three CGUs, being the Bodies & 
Minds, Feet & Ankles, Eyes & Ears divisions. Refer to Note 16 for details on impairment testing.  

Classification of Clinic Class Shares: Equity vs Financial liability  
Clinic  Class  Shares  were  issued  to  (1)  the  sellers  on  acquisition  of  various  podiatry  and  physiotherapy  clinics  and  (2) 
clinicians who wish to (i) ‘buy-in’ to existing clinics, or (ii) ‘buy-in’ to a new podiatry or physiotherapy clinic. 

The Clinic Class Shares were historically classified as a financial liability based on the fact that My FootDr (Aust) Limited 
previously had a contractual obligation to deliver cash in the form of preferential dividends payable to the holders each quarter 
by reference to profits derived from the Clinics. The Clinic Class Shares have been reclassified to equity in 2019 Financial 
year following amendments to the terms and conditions that result in the instruments having the characteristics of equity. 

Lease term 
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement 
is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying 
asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included 
in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise 
an  extension  option,  or  not  to  exercise  a  termination  option,  are  considered  at  the  lease  commencement  date.  Factors 
considered  may  include  the  importance  of  the  asset  to  the  Consolidated  Entity's  operations;  comparison  of  terms  and 
conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; 
and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The Consolidated Entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to 
exercise  an  extension  option,  or  not  exercise  a  termination  option,  if  there  is  a  significant  event  or  significant  change  in 
circumstances. 

Incremental borrowing rate 
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount 
future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is 
based on what the Consolidated Entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain 
an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.

30 June 2023 

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) 

Contingent consideration 
The contingent consideration liability relates to business combinations and is valued at fair value at the acquisition date as 
part of the business combination. At each reporting date, the contingent consideration liability is reassessed against revised 
estimates and any increase or decrease in the net present value of the liability will result in a corresponding gain or loss to 
profit or loss. The increase in the liability resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Refer to Note 
29 for the fair value measurement of contingent consideration.  

Business combinations 
As discussed in note 35, business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets 
acquired,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  assumed  are  initially  estimated  by  the  Consolidated  Entity  taking  into 
consideration  all  available  information  at  the  reporting  date.  Fair  value  adjustments  on  the  finalisation  of  the  business 
combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact 
on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported. 

Note 4. Segment Information 

Identification of reportable segments 
For management purposes, the Consolidated Entity is organised into business units based on its products and services and 
has three reportable segments, as follows: : Feet & Ankles, Bodies & Minds and Eyes & Ears. 

These reportable segments are based on the internal reports reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified 
as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.  

The 'other' category comprises of corporate functions. 

The CODM reviews underlying EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation). Underlying EBITDA 
also excludes the impact of acquisition and integration costs, the revenue and expense impacts of 'COVID-19' and other 
one-off non-recurring income and expenses. Underlying EBITDA is reported on a pre-AASB16 basis, with property lease 
costs recognised as standard occupancy costs. 

The Consolidated Entity has included underlying EBITDA. This measure is not defined under IFRS and are, therefore, termed 
"non-IFRS" measures and are not audited. 

The information is reported to the CODM on a monthly basis. 

Types of products and services 
The principal products and services of each of these reportable segments are as follows: 
Feet and Ankles Division 

 This division provides podiatry services and podiatry related services including the 
manufacturing and sale of orthotics and podiatry related products. 

Bodies and Minds Division 

 This division provides physiotherapy and speciality hand therapy services. 

Eyes and Ears Division 

 This division provides optometry and audiology services. 

Presentation of revenue and results 
Underlying  results  exclude  the  impact  of  non-recurring  income  and  expenses  such  as  acquisition  and  integration  costs. 
Underlying EBITDA is reported on a pre-AASB16 basis, with property lease costs recognised as standard occupancy costs.

Revenue from contracts with customers 
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Consolidated Entity is expected to be entitled 
in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Consolidated Entity: 
identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price 
which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to 
the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to 
be  delivered;  and  recognises  revenue  when  or  as  each  performance  obligation  is  satisfied  in  a  manner  that  depicts  the 
transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. 

Sale of goods 
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is 
generally at the time of delivery.

Note 5. Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) 

Revenue from the sale of goods from the orthotics laboratory and podiatry wholesale business goods is recognised when 
control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the 
goods  have  been  shipped  to  the  specific  location,  and  the  risks  of  obsolescence  and  loss  have  been  transferred  to  the 
customer. 

A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional. 

Rendering of services 
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or an 
hourly rate.

Government grants (COVID-19) 
During the Coronavirus (‘Covid-19’) pandemic, the Consolidated Entity received JobSaver support payments from the NSW 
State Government. These are recognised as government grants in the financial statements as other income when there is 
reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. It is recognised as 
other income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related employee benefits expense, for which it is intended to 
compensate, are expensed. 

Accounting policy for government grants 
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them 
with the costs that they are intended to compensate. 

Accounting policy for interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, 
which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the 
net carrying amount of the financial asset. 

Accounting policy for rent 
Rent revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives granted are recognised as part of 
the rental revenue. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the period when earned.

Accounting policy for income tax 
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable 
income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary 
differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the 
assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: 
 When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a 
● 
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor 
taxable profits; or 
 When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the 
timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable 
future. 

● 

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.

Note 8. Income tax (continued) 

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax 
assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the 
carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable 
that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against 
current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on 
either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

The calculation of  expected credit losses has been revised as at 30 June 2023 and rates have  decreased in the Over 3 
months overdue category to 20% (30 June 2022: 22%). 

Accounting policy for trade and other receivables 
Trade  receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective 
interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 
days. 

The  Consolidated  Entity  has  applied  the  simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected  credit  losses,  which  uses  a  lifetime 
expected credit loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days 
overdue. 

The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting 
the  ability  of  the  customers  to  settle  the  receivables.  The  Consolidated  Entity  has  identified  the  following  to  be  the  most 
relevant factors in determining expected loss rates:  

● 
● 
● 

 unemployment rate 
 inflation, and 
 Reserve Bank of Australia cash rate 

Aged  debtors  greater  than  90  days  require  investigation.  Management  uses  judgment  in  determining  which  debtors  are 
unlikely to be recovered and require write-off 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

Accounting policy for inventories 
Consumables and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 'first in first out' basis. Cost 
comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and other taxes. Costs of purchased inventory 
are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion 
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Accounting policy for property, plant and equipment 
Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation is calculated on a reducing balance basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment 
over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Leasehold improvements 
Plant and equipment 

 3-10 years 
 3-7 years 

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, 
whichever is shorter. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the 
Consolidated Entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

Accounting policy for right-of-use assets 
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which 
comprises the  initial  amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as  applicable,  any lease payments made  at or  before the 
commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred and except where included in the 
cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to  be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and 
restoring the site or asset. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful 
life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Where the Consolidated Entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the 
end of the  lease term, the  depreciation is  over  its  estimated  useful  life. Right-of-use assets  are subject to  impairment  or 
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

The Consolidated Entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term 
leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to 
profit or loss as incurred.

Impairment testing 
The Consolidated Entity has tested goodwill, trademarks and brands for impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy 
stated  in  note  2.  The  recoverable  amount  has  been  determined  based  on  value-in-use  calculations  using  cash  flow 
projections based on Board approved financial budgets and cover a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the 5-year period 
to the end of the assets useful life are estimated by extrapolating the management projections using a steady growth rate 
based on long term industry expectations. 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill, trademarks and brands have been allocated to the CGU, or groups of CGUs, 
that  are  expected  to  benefit  from  the  synergies  of  the  business  combination  and  which  represent  the  level  at  which 
management will monitor and manage the goodwill, trademarks and brands. The Consolidated Entity has identified three 
CGUs, being the Bodies and Minds, Feet and Ankles and Eyes and Ears divisions.

Note 16. Intangibles (continued) 

Key assumptions used for the value-in-use calculations are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or CGUs is 
most sensitive. 

The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for both the Bodies & Minds, Feet & Ankles and 
Eyes & Ears divisions: 
● 

 The Consolidated Entity tests for impairment of goodwill, trademarks and brands on an annual basis. The recoverable 
amount of a CGU is determined based on a value-in-use calculation which require the use of assumptions. 
 The calculations use cash flow projections over a five-year period, the first being 2024, based on the financial budget 
approved by the Board. Cash flow projections for periods beyond the 2024 period are extrapolated using the estimated 
growth rates below. 
 Goodwill, trademarks and brands have been allocated to the three groupings of CGUs representing Bodies & Minds 
('B&M'), Feet & Ankles ('F&A') and Eyes & Ears ('E&E'). 
 Corporate overheads have been apportioned to the CGUs based on the following percentages: 
B&M Division: 58% 
F&A Division: 24% 
E&E Division: 18% 
 Sensitivity analyses on growth and discount rates has been performed to assess the  impact  on  the outcome  of the 
model. 

● 

● 

● 

● 

Significant assumptions for the purposes of the value-in-use calculation include: 
● 
● 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 Period of cash flows: 5 years 
 3.0% (2022: 3.0%) per annum projected revenue growth 
 3.0% (2022: 3.0%) per annum increase in operating costs and overheads 
 Maintenance capital expenditures of 1.0% (2022: 1.0%) of revenue per annum 
 13.9% (2022: 13.0%) pre-tax discount rate 
 3.0% (2022: 3.0%) terminal value growth rate 

The Consolidated Entity believes that the assumptions adopted in the value-in-use calculations are appropriate. 

Management  has  determined  the  projected  growth  rates  for  revenue,  operating  costs  and  overheads  over  the  five-year 
forecast period based on past performance and management's expectation of market development. 

The maintenance capital expenditure rate has been determined based on the historical experience of management, and the 
planned capital expenditure. 

The  discount  rate  of  13.9%  (2022:  13.0%)  pre-tax  reflects  management’s  estimate  of  the  time  value  of  money  and  the 
Consolidated Entity’s weighted average cost of capital, the long-term risk-free rate and the volatility of the share price relative 
to market movements. 

The terminal value growth rate is consistent with forecasts included within industry reports. 

Based on the  above assumptions, the recoverable amount of the Bodies  & Minds CGU exceeds the carrying amount by 
$88,508,083. 

Based  on  the  above  assumptions,  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  Feet  &  Ankles  CGU  exceeds  the  carrying  amount  by 
$62,590,073. 

Based  on  the  above  assumptions,  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  Eyes  &  Ears  CGU  exceeds  the  carrying  amount  by 
$20,383,803. 

Sensitivity 
As  disclosed  in  note  3,  the  Directors  have  made  judgements  and  estimates  in  respect  of  impairment  testing  of  goodwill. 
Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting goodwill carrying amount may decrease.

Accounting policy for intangible assets 
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at 
the  date  of  the  acquisition.  Intangible  assets  acquired  separately  are  initially  recognised  at  cost.  Indefinite  life  intangible 
assets  are  not  amortised  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  any  impairment.  Finite  life  intangible  assets  are 
subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising 
from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying 
amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in 
the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or 
period. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, 
or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  it  might  be  impaired  and  is  carried  at  cost  less 
accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. 

Trademarks and Brands 
Trademarks and brands are tested annually for impairment. 

Customer list 
Customer lists acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected 
benefit, being their estimated useful life of 5 years. 

Software 
Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected 
benefit, being their finite life of 5 years.

The Consolidated Entity's leasing activities 
The Consolidated Entity leases various clinics, retail stores, offices and warehouses. Rental contracts are typically made for 
a fixed period of 3 to 5 years but may have extension options. 

Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease 
agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessors. 
Lease assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

Note 19. Lease liabilities (continued) 

Extension and termination options 
Extension  and  termination  options  are  included  in  a  number  of  property  and  equipment  leases  across  the  Consolidated 
Entity. These are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the group's operations. 
The  majority  of  extension  and  termination  options  held  are  exercisable  only  by  the  Consolidated  Entity  and  not  by  the 
respective lessor.  

In  determining  the  lease  term,  management  considers  all  facts  and  circumstances  that  create  an  economic  incentive  to 
exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) 
are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). 

Most extension options in clinics, retail stores, offices and warehouses have not been included in the lease liability because 
the Consolidated Entity replaces the assets without significant cost or business disruption. 

Accounting policy for lease liabilities 
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present 
value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or 
if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Consolidated Entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of 
fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts 
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is 
reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain 
extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. The variable lease payments that do not depend on 
an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured 
if  there  is  a  change  in  the  following:  future  lease  payments  arising  from  a  change  in  an  index  or  a  rate  used;  residual 
guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an 
adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of-use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset 
is fully written down. 

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease 
period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Accounting policy for derivative financial instruments 
The Consolidated Entity uses derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to hedge its interest rate risks. 
Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered 
into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive 
and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  annual  leave  and  long  service  leave  expected  to  be 
settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities 
are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are 
measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to 
the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, 
experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at 
the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the 
estimated future cash outflows.

Note 22. Provisions (continued) 

Accounting policy for provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the Consolidated Entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past 
event, it is probable the Consolidated Entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of 
the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to 
settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. 
If  the  time  value  of  money  is  material,  provisions  are  discounted  using  a  current  pre-tax  rate  specific  to  the  liability.  The 
increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

The contingent consideration liability relates to business combinations and is valued at fair value at the acquisition date as 
part  of  the  business  combination.  When  the  contingent  consideration  meets  the  definition  of  a  financial  liability,  it  is 
subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date.  Any reassessment of the liability  during the earlier  of the 
finalisation  of  the  provisional  accounting  or  12  months  from  acquisition-date  is  adjusted  retrospectively  as  part  of  the 
provisional  accounting  rules  in  accordance  with  AASB  3  'Business  Combinations'.  Thereafter,  at  each  reporting  date, 
the contingent consideration liability is reassessed against revised estimates and any increase or decrease in the net present 
value of the liability will result in a corresponding gain or loss to profit or loss. The increase in the liability resulting from the 
passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Ordinary shares 
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in proportion 
to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company 
does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. 

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each 
share shall have one vote. 

Capital risk management 
The Consolidated Entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that 
it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to 
reduce the cost of capital. 

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated 
as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. 

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

The Consolidated Entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as 
value adding relative to the current Company's share price at the time of the investment. 

The Consolidated Entity  is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these  is given priority in all 
capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial 
year. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2022 Annual Report. 

Accounting policy for issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Share-based payments reserve 
The  reserve  is  used  to  recognise  the  value  of  equity  benefits  provided  to  employees  and  Directors  as  part  of  their 
remuneration, and other parties as part of their compensation for services. 

Transactions with non-controlling interest reserve 
The transactions with non-controlling interest reserve are used to record differences which may arise as a result of increases 
or decreases in non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control. 

Pre-IPO distribution reserve 
The reserve records any differences between the acquired net assets and the consideration under continuation accounting. 
The transaction relevant to the understanding of this reserve account is detailed below: 

Healthia Limited was incorporated on 10 May 2018 as a holding company to acquire the podiatry and physiotherapy service 
business as part of the Initial Public Offer of Healthia Limited. In this respect, Healthia Limited acquired all of the ordinary 
shares in My FootDr (Aust) Ltd (the MFDA Group) on 30 July 2018. In accordance with AASB3 Business Combinations, the 
acquisition of MFDA Group by Healthia Limited did not meet the definition of a business combination. Therefore, Healthia 
Limited's first issued financial statements applied the continuation method of accounting for the combination of the MFDA 
Group. 

Under continuation accounting, the Consolidated Entity effectively adopted book value accounting whereby the assets and 
liabilities  of  the  legal  acquiree  (MFDA  Group)  were  recognised  at  their  previous  carrying  amounts.  No  adjustments  were 
made to reflect fair values and no new assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the legal acquiree were recognised at the 
date of the business combination. Any difference between the acquired net assets and the consideration were recognised 
through the pre-IPO distribution reserve account in equity.

Healthia Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2023 

Note 28. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 
The Consolidated  Entity's  activities expose  it to a variety  of financial risks: market risk (interest rate risk),  credit risk and 
liquidity risk. The Consolidated Entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets 
and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated 
Entity  uses  derivative  financial  instruments  such  as interest  rate  swaps to  hedge  certain  risk  exposures.  Derivatives  are 
exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The Consolidated Entity uses 
different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the 
case of interest rate and other price risks. 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors 
('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Consolidated Entity and appropriate 
procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Consolidated Entity's 
operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis. 

Market risk 
Interest rate risk 
The  Consolidated  Entity's  main  interest  rate  risk  arises  from  long-term  borrowings  and  interest  rate  swap  contracts. 
Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Consolidated Entity to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates 
expose the Consolidated Entity to fair value interest rate risk. 

At the reporting date, the Consolidated Entity had the following variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap contracts 
outstanding: 

Bank loans 
Interest rate swaps (notional principal amount) 

Net exposure to cash flow interest rate risk

77,117  
(20,000) 

95,425   

57,117  

An analysis by remaining contractual maturities is shown in 'liquidity and interest rate risk management' below. 

For the Consolidated Entity the bank loans outstanding, totalling $95,425,000 (30 June 2022: $77,117,000), are interest only 
loans. At the reporting date, $nil (30 June 2022: $20,000,000) of debt was hedged by floating to fixed interest rate swaps. 

An official increase in interest rates of 100 (30 June 2022: 100) basis points would have an adverse effect on profit before 
tax of $954,250 (30 June 2022: $571,170) per annum. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest 
rates using market data and analysts' forecasts. 

Credit risk 
Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  a  counterparty  will  default  on  its  contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to  the 
Consolidated  Entity.  The  Consolidated  Entity  has  a  strict  code  of  credit,  including  obtaining  agency  credit  information, 
confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The Consolidated Entity obtains guarantees where appropriate to 
mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying 
amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes 
to the financial statements. The Consolidated Entity does not hold any collateral. 

Liquidity risk 
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Consolidated Entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash 
equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. 

The Consolidated Entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by 
continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The following tables detail the Consolidated Entity's assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value using a three 
level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: 
Level  1:  Quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or  liabilities  that  the  entity  can  access  at  the 
measurement date 
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or 
indirectly 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Note 29. Fair value measurement (continued) 

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market 
interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities. 

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3 
Derivative financial instruments have been valued using quoted market rates. This valuation technique maximises the use 
of observable market data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates. 

Contingent consideration has been valued based on expected EBITDA of the clinics, based on the knowledge of the business 
and how the current economic environment is likely to impact it. Contingent consideration of between $0 and $19,211,000 
may become payable subject to the EBITDA achieved by the various acquired businesses. 

Level 3 assets and liabilities 
Movements in level 3 assets and liabilities during the current and previous financial year are set out below:

 Contingent consideration of between $0 and 
$19,211,000 may become payable subject to the 
EBITDA achieved by the various acquired 
businesses. 

Accounting policy for fair value measurement 
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair 
value  is based  on the price that would be received to sell  an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal 
market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. 

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming 
they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and 
best  use.  Valuation  techniques  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances  and  for  which  sufficient  data  are  available  to 
measure fair value, are used,  maximising the use of  relevant observable  inputs  and minimising the use of  unobservable 
inputs. 

Assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  are  classified  into  three  levels,  using  a  fair  value  hierarchy  that  reflects  the 
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers 
between  levels  are  determined  based  on  a  reassessment  of  the  lowest  level  of  input  that  is  significant  to  the  fair  value 
measurement.

Note 29. Fair value measurement (continued) 

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not 
available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and 
reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is 
undertaken,  which  includes  a  verification  of  the  major  inputs  applied  in  the  latest  valuation  and  a  comparison,  where 
applicable, with external sources of data.

Goodwill arising from business combinations is attributed to the reputation of the business in their local market, the benefit 
of  marginal  profit  and synergies  expected to  be received by integrating  into  the  Consolidated  Entity's systems, expected 
revenue growth, future market development, the assembled workforce and knowledge of the local markets. These benefits 
are not able to be individually identified or recognised separately from goodwill.

Note 35. Business combinations (continued) 

The Back In Motion clinic acquisitions were settled over the period to 5 October 2021 through 23 December 2021 as landlord 
consents and other conditions precedent were satisfied. 

The goodwill is attributable mainly to the skills, technical talent and established clinics chain of BIM's work force and the 
synergies expected to be achieved from integrating the company into the Group's existing Health Industry business. None 
of the goodwill recognised is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. 

Initial consideration paid for the acquisitions was $87.65 million including $64.52 million in cash consideration, $15.66 million 
in Clinic Class Share consideration, $5.77 million in ordinary Healthia Limited share consideration and $1.70 million payable 
in deferred consideration. In addition, a fair value of $4.01 million payable in contingent consideration may become payable 
between 12 and 36 months after the completion date.

Acquisition of Other Eyes and Ears Clinics 
The Consolidated Entity acquired additional 4 optical stores during the current period. Initial consideration paid for acquisition 
was  $0.60  million  including  $0.56  million  in  cash  consideration  and  $0.04  million  in  Clinic  Class  Shares,  with  up  to  an 
additional $0.13 million in contingent consideration. 

Acquisition Rationale 
All acquisitions made during the period were consistent with the Consolidated Entity's stated strategic objective of acquiring 
and  integrating allied health clinics. Given  the fragmented nature  of the targeted allied  health industries,  acquisitions will 
continue to be a central pillar of the Consolidated Entity's growth strategy.

Healthia Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2023 

Note 35. Business combinations (continued) 

Goodwill arising from business combinations is attributed to the reputation of the business in their local market, the benefit 
of  marginal  profit  and synergies  expected to  be received by integrating  into  the  Consolidated  Entity's systems, expected 
revenue growth, future market development, the assembled workforce and knowledge of the local markets. These benefits 
are not able to be individually identified or recognised separately from goodwill. 

Valuation techniques 
The valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value of material assets acquired were as follows. 

Asset acquired 

 Valuation technique 

Property, plant and 
equipment 

 Market comparison technique and cost technique: 
 The valuation model considers market prices for similar items when they are available, and 
depreciated replacement cost when appropriate. Depreciated replacement cost reflects 
adjustments for physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence. 

Intangible assets 

 The fair value of an intangible asset will reflect market participants' expectations at the acquisition 
date about the probability that the expected future economic benefits embodied in the asset will 
flow to the entity. There are three approaches to valuing intangible assets that correspond to the 
valuation approaches: 
 - Market approaches; 
 - Income approaches; and 
 - Cost approaches. 

Inventories 

 Market comparison technique: 
 The fair value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of 
business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based 
on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories. 

The trade receivables comprise gross contractual amounts due of $nil (30 June 2022: $0.8m), which are expected to be 
collectable.  

Acquisition and integration related costs of $7.3m (30 June 2022: $7.4m) are included in the consolidated statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income. 

Accounting policy for business combinations 
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments 
or other assets are acquired. 

The  consideration  transferred  is  the  sum  of  the  acquisition-date  fair  values  of  the  assets  transferred,  equity  instruments 
issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value 
or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit 
or loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, the Consolidated Entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for 
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Consolidated 
Entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. 

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Consolidated Entity remeasures its previously held equity interest 
in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount 
is recognised in profit or loss. 

Contingent  consideration  to  be  transferred  by  the  acquirer  is  recognised  at  the  acquisition-date  fair  value.  Subsequent 
changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss. 
Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Healthia Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2023 

Note 35. Business combinations (continued) 

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the 
acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value 
of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly 
in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement 
of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's 
previously held equity interest in the acquirer. 

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional 
amounts  recognised  and  also  recognises  additional  assets  or  liabilities  during  the  measurement  period,  based  on  new 
information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends 
on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information 
possible to determine fair value.

 3,943,000 performance rights have been excluded from the above calculation of diluted earnings per share for the current year as the Consolidated Entity has incurred losses meaning 
their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. 

Accounting policy for earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the  owners of Healthia Limited, excluding  any 
costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during 
the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. 

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

Capital Raising 
On  8  September  2022,  the  Consolidated  Entity  announced  it  would  raise  up  to  $15.0  million  via  an  accelerated  non-
renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer. The offer comprised an Institutional Entitlement Offer to raise approximately $10 
million and a Retail Entitlement Offer to raise approximately $5 million. 

On  12  September  2022,  the  Consolidated  Entity  announced  the  completion  of  the  Institutional  Entitlement  Offer  and 
6,718,785 new ordinary shares were issued at $1.47 per share, raising a total of approximately $9.9 million. 

5 October 2022, the Consolidated Entity announced the completion of the Retail Entitlement Offer and 752,657 new ordinary 
shares were issued at $1.47 per share, raising a total of approximately $1.1 million. The Retail Entitlement Offer was not 
underwritten.

The fair value of performance rights (equity settled) with the indexed TSR condition is calculated at the date of grant using 
the  Monte-Carlo  simulation  model,  taking  into  account  the  impact  of  the  TSR  condition  and  dividends  during  the  vesting

2,244,060  of  the  2022  Performance  Rights  which  will  vest  in  accordance  with  the  Performance  Rights  Plan  Rules  is 
dependent on, and subject to, satisfaction of the following conditions 
Service condition 

 The performance rights will be exercisable upon satisfaction of the Service condition, 
being continuous employment with the Company from Grant Date until the Vesting 
Date. 
 The Company’s compounding annual growth in underlying Earnings Per Share 
(underlying EPS) for the period from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025 based on the 
following vesting scale: 

EPS Growth condition 

 - Below threshold and target being less than 4% - Nil Vesting 
 - Threshold and target being between 4% and 10% - Pro rata vesting 
 - Stretch being over 10% - 100% vesting 

The underlying EPS results to be used will be the Basic EPS recorded in the 
Company’s audited financial statements in the relevant years, adjusted for one-off 
and non-recurring items and the amortisation of customer lists, as determined by the 
Board in its discretion.  

Indexed TSR (iTSR) 

50% of the Performance Rights will be exercisable if this condition is achieved. 
 Satisfaction of the iTSR performance condition against the S&P/ ASX Small 
Industrials Index, based on the following vesting scale: 

- Stretch being index movement of greater than 10% - 100% vesting 
 - Between target and stretch being index movement of between 5% and 10% - pro 
rata vesting 
 - Target being index movement of 5% - 50% vesting 
 - Between threshold and target being index movement of between 0% and 5% - pro 
rata vesting 
 - Threshold being equal to index movement - 25% vesting 
 - Below threshold being less than the index movement - Nil vesting 

TSR is the sum of the change in share price and dividends (assumed to be reinvested 
in shares) during the Vesting Period. It is annualised for the purpose of the 
above vesting scale. The TSR of the Company will be calculated and converted to a 
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) value for the purpose of assessment against 
this scale. During periods of nil dividends being declared, TSR is equal to the change 
in share price. 

 50% of the performance rights will be exercisable if this condition is achieved.

FY23 EBITDA(u) 

 Achievement by the Company of EBITDA(u) of greater than $40 million for the 
financial year ended 30 June 2023. This reflects the Company's guidance on 31 
August 2022 that it expects to deliver EBITDA(u) in FY23 of greater than $40 million. 

EBITDA(u) or Underlying EBITDA is statutory earnings before interest, tax, 
depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) as adjusted to reflect the Directors’ 
assessment of the result for the ongoing business activities of the Consolidated 
Entity, in accordance with AICD/Finsia principles of recording underlying profit. 
EBITDA(u) is presented on a pre-AASB16 basis. Underlying EBITDA is a non-IFRS 
measure and will be determined by the Directors having regard to those principles 
and is not audited. 

The performance rights do not rank equally with existing ordinary shares quoted. Prior to vesting, the performance rights do 
not carry a right to vote or receive dividends. 

Where shares are issued upon the vesting and exercise of the performance rights (within the periods detailed above), those 
shares will rank equally with existing ordinary shares of Healthia Limited. 

To participate in a dividend, the ordinary shares must be issued prior to the record date for the dividend.

Accounting policy for share-based payments 
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares that are provided to employees in exchange for the 
rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash 
is determined by reference to the share price. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using 
either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, 
the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend 
yield and  the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do  not  determine 
whether the Consolidated Entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of 
any other vesting conditions. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting 
period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate 
of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit 
or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous 
periods. 

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the 
Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was 
granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows: 
● 

 during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the 
expired portion of the vesting period. 
 from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the 
reporting date. 

● 

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to 
settle the liability. 

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions 
are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are 
satisfied.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2023 

Note 39. Share-based payments (continued) 

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An 
additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value 
of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. 

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Consolidated Entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is 
treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Consolidated Entity or employee and is not satisfied 
during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the 
award is forfeited. 

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense 
is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award 
is treated as if they were a modification. 

Note 40. Events after the reporting period 

Acquisitions 
After Reporting Date, the Consolidated Entity entered into binding agreements to acquire and has reached settlement the 
following businesses: 
● 
● 

 Walk Without Pain Podiatry Clinics (3 podiatry clinics located in Queensland; and, 
 Melbourne Hand Therapy (4 hand therapy clinics and an additional 9 sessional locations located in Victoria). 

Total upfront consideration of $3.6 million for the acquisitions (plus stock, less employee entitlements) is as follows: 
● 
● 

 Upfront cash consideration: $2.8 million; and 
 Issue of Clinic Class Shares: $0.8 million. 

In addition to the upfront consideration, contingent consideration of up to $0.7million may become payable in cash, subject 
to the achievement of pre-defined earnings targets. 

Scheme Implementation Deed 
On 31 August 2023, the Consolidated Entity entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed (the “Scheme”) with Harold BidCo 
Pty Ltd (“Harold BidCo”) ACN 670 606 827, an entity owned by funds advised by Pacific Equity Partners under which it is 
proposed that Harold BidCo will acquire 100% of the fully diluted share capital in Healthia by way of a scheme of arrangement.  

Under the Scheme, Healthia shareholders will have the option to receive either $1.80 cash per Healthia share or unlisted 
scrip consideration, or a mix of cash and unlisted scrip consideration (subject to certain conditions).  

The Scheme is subject to certain conditions, which must be satisfied or waived before the Scheme can be implemented, 
including  obtaining  Healthia  shareholder  approval  following  receipt  of  an  Independent  Expert’s  Report  concluding  (and 
continuing to conclude) that the Scheme is in the best interest of the Healthia shareholders. 

In the event that the Scheme proceeds, Healthia Shareholders who participate in obtaining script  consideration as part of 
the transaction may be subject to alternative risks and uncertainties from those as set out in Table 6: Material Business Risks 
of the Review of Operations in this report, and general market risks.  

In the event the Scheme does not proceed, Healthia Shareholders will continue to be subject to the risks and uncertainties 
associated  with  Healthia’s  business  and  general  market  risks.  Furthermore,  if  the  Scheme  does  not  proceed,  and  no 
comparable  proposal  or  superior  proposal  is  received  by  the  Healthia  Board,  then  Healthia’s  share  price  is  likely  to  be 
impacted.  

Details of the proposed acquisition are contained in a separate announcement released to the ASX on 31 August 2023.

Note 40. Events after the reporting period (continued) 

Impact of Scheme Implementation Deed on Performance Rights 
On 30 August 2023, the Healthia Board, using the ability to retrospectively amend the performance rights, determined that 
should the Scheme Implementation Deed become Effective, then all vesting conditions on all unvested Performance Rights, 
excluding the service condition, will be waived, with such resulting vested Performance Rights being automatically exercised, 
and issued, prior to the Scheme Record Date with each holder domiciled in Australia entitled to be issued one Healthia Share 
for  each  vested  Performance  Right  (as  applicable)  held  (that  is,  on  a  one  for  one  basis). Such  Healthia  Shares  will  be 
captured by the Scheme. 

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the 
Consolidated Entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the Consolidated Entity's state of affairs in future financial 
years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

To the members of Healthia Limited  

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of Healthia Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the 
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 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 report, 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 2023 and of its 
financial performance for the year ended on that date; 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 Corporations 
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (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.  

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.

Impairment assessment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and determination of Cash 
Generating Units (“CGU’s”) 

Key audit matter  

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The Group’s disclosures in respect to intangible 
assets, including the impairment assessments of 
goodwill and other intangible assets are included 
in Note 16.  

The carrying value of intangible assets represent 
a significant asset of the Group.  

The Group is required to annually test the 
amount of goodwill and indefinite useful life 
intangible assets for impairment and assess other 
intangible assets for impairment indicators.  

This annual impairment test was significant to our 
audit because the goodwill and intangible assets 
balance is material to the financial statements 
and because management’s assessment process, 
including the determination of CGU’s, is complex, 
highly judgmental and includes estimates and 
assumptions relating to expected future market 
or economic conditions. 

Our procedures included, amongst others:

•  Evaluating management’s determination of

the Group’s Cash Generating Units ("CGU's") 
to ensure they are appropriate, including 
being at a level no higher than the operating 
segments of the Group

•  Evaluating management’s process regarding

the valuation of the Group’s goodwill and 
other intangible assets

•  Assessing the Group’s assumptions and 

estimates relating to forecast revenue, costs,
capital expenditure and discount rates used 
to determine the recoverable amount of its 
assets

•  Assessing the historical accuracy of 

forecasting of the Group by comparing the
current year actual results with FY23 figures 
included in prior year forecasts to consider 
whether any forecasts included assumptions, 
that with hindsight, had been optimistic

• 

Involving our internal specialists to assess the
discount rates and terminal growth rates

Other information  

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the 
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, 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 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 has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

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 (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
