About Healius

Today Healius has three main businesses – Pathology, Imaging and 
Day Hospitals/IVF – and Healius Primary Care (which includes Healius’ 
GP and Dental businesses and Health & Co), which is held for sale. 
Through its unique footprint of centres and 12,500 employees, Healius 
provides diagnostic services to consumers and their referring practitioners, 
as well as enabling a range of independent healthcare professionals to 
deliver patient care in partnership with Healius’ nurses and support staff.

Pathology

Imaging

Healius’ Pathology division, Specialist Diagnostic 
Services or SDS, is one of Australia’s leading 
providers of private medical laboratory and 
pathology services.

Healius’ Imaging division, through its brand 
Healthcare Imaging Services or HIS, operates 
a network of sites across the country, in partnership 
with around 120 independent radiologists. 

SDS operates around 100 medical laboratories and over 
2,100 patient collection centres across metropolitan, 
regional and remote Australia. SDS employs around 
200 specialist pathologists and over 6,000 scientists, 
technicians, collectors and team members. Each year, 
it provides one in every three pathology services in 
Australia, extending from exclusively servicing some 
of Australia’s largest and most complex private and 
public hospitals to small and remote Australian 
Aboriginal communities.

SDS provides leading medical laboratory and pathology 
services covering key diagnostic activities of anatomical 
pathology (histopathology and cytology), clinical pathology 
(biochemistry, haematology, immunology and microbiology), 
genomic diagnostics and veterinary pathology.

It offers these services through a variety of state-based and 
specialty brands. These include QML, Laverty, Dorevitch and 
Western Diagnostic Pathology which operate in Queensland, 
NSW, Victoria and South Australia, Western Australia and 
Northern Territory respectively. Key specialty brands include 
Genomic Diagnostics, Australia’s largest non-government 
diagnostic genetic sequencing facility.

2

HIS manages over 140 sites in total, comprised of 
stand-alone community imaging centres, and imaging 
facilities located within Healius Primary Care’s medical 
centres and private and public hospitals.

HIS provides professional and support services to radiologists 
enabling them to focus on the provision of quality care for their 
patients. HIS employs a highly-trained team of radiographers, 
sonographers, nuclear medicine technologists, nurses, centre 
support staff and corporate staff. A full suite of modalities 
and services are offered which include: X-ray, ultrasound, 
computerised tomography (CT), mammography, magnetic 
resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, positron emission 
tomography (PET) and interventional radiology (including 
treatment by spinal and joint injections).

The radiologists undertake a range of imaging services 
including specialist women’s health, cardiac, neurology, 
vascular, musculoskeletal and dental imaging. Around three 
million radiography examinations are conducted in Healius’ 
sites each year.

With the announced sale of Healius Primary Care 
in June 2020, we will transition out of the medical 
centres and dental businesses towards the end 
of 2020. Moving forward Healius will focus on its 
specialist diagnostic businesses – pathology and 
imaging – along with day hospitals and IVF.

Day Hospitals

Medical Centres

The Day Hospitals business comprises 15 day 
hospitals, 11 of these are stand alone and four 
Healius Day Hospitals are located within medical 
centres, all operating under the Montserrat 
brand. Healius operates four IVF clinics. 

Montserrat
Driven by improving surgical technology and superior 
patient outcomes, the healthcare industry is experiencing 
a shift away from higher cost overnight procedures 
towards day hospital procedures, with the number 
of private day hospital admissions doubling in the last 
10 years. This trend is likely to accelerate. Montserrat 
is a unique and high quality business with well-run 
facilities that are strategically located and accessible 
to both specialists and patients. The business provides 
a platform to diversify funding in non-Medicare revenues. 
With its combination of day hospitals and haematology/
oncology clinics, it also delivers benefits and integration 
opportunities to the pathology and IVF businesses.

Adora Fertility
Healius’ IVF business model, which brings together a team 
of IVF specialists, GPs, nurses and scientists, has been 
disrupting the IVF sector since 2014. The business has four 
major clinics around the country and is now expanding 
its footprint to include satellite clinics that enable wider 
access to high quality and affordable fertility services 
for couples residing outside major treatment centres.

Healius Primary Care (held for sale)
Healius partners with independent general practitioners 
(GPs), dentists, specialists and other healthcare professionals 
(HCPs) who address both acute and chronic conditions in their 
patients. Healius provides a range of professional and support 
services to HCPs enabling them to focus on the provision 
of quality care for their patients. Healius has 69 Medical 
Centres 1 across Australia which are generally open 365 days 
a year, 7am to 10pm, and offer appointments and walk-in 
services. The majority of services provided by the independent 
HCPs in these centres are bulk billed.

Healius’ large-scale, multi-disciplinary Medical Centres are 
equipped with treatment rooms, nursing support, pathology 
and radiology. Many centres have a range of specialist 
services including: Dental, Physiotherapy, Occupational Health, 
Allied Health Services, IVF, Eye Specialists, Skin Specialists, 
Skin Cancer checks and consultant Specialist Doctors.

Health & Co is the brand under which Healius has built 
a network of 13 established GP practices. Health & Co partners 
with independent doctors who want to continue to run their 
practices with the benefits of its support, helping these owners 
to further build their businesses through smarter services 
and network advantages.

Primary Dental is Healius’ dental business and is one of the top 
four dental operators in the country. The dental centres are 
situated within Healius Medical Centres in 62 locations across 
the country and offer accessible and affordable dental services.

Healius – Annual Report 2020OVERVIEWOur strategy

Through accessible, high-quality, 
consumer-centric healthcare 
services, Healius is committed to 
delivering excellence in healthcare 
in Australia and creating value for 
consumers, employees, investors 
and the many communities in 
which it operates.

Streamlined portfolio
From FY 2021 onwards, with the completion of the sale 
of Healius Primary Care, Healius will focus on being 
a specialist diagnostics company with a growing day 
hospitals business leveraging its established market 
positions and scalable businesses with a clear pathway 
to enhanced shareholder value. 

Healius will have balance sheet flexibility, low leverage 
and a high level of liquidity together with significantly 
reduced requirements for capital expenditure. 

Being the second and third largest player in Pathology 
and Imaging respectively in Australia, Healius will be 
able to build on its strong brands, clinical leadership 
and established network with targeted investment for 
inorganic growth. It will look to invest in Day Hospitals, 
a sector with economic, technological and regulatory 
tailwinds, where short-stay multi-clinician facilities 
offer a low-cost and clinically-equivalent alternative 
to traditional overnight hospital care. 

Healius has already undertaken an organisational review 
which has seen the management structure simplified, 
the divisions more autonomous and the group functions 
more efficient. It will complete the right-sizing of its support 
function cost base to reflect its smaller and more streamlined 
portfolio, with targeted savings of $15 million in overheads 
by the end of FY 2022.

Strategy

Sustainable Improvement 
Program
The Sustainable Improvement Program (SIP) was introduced 
in late FY 2019 to systematically reduce costs and improve 
efficiencies across the Group. To-date it has served to reduce 
the cost inflation inherent in the businesses. 

From FY 2021, the SIP program aims to deliver real margin 
expansion, with a focus on addressing more complex but 
higher value structural improvements. Initiatives are focused 
in four major categories:
•  Digitisation and automation – optimise revenue, 

via improved consumer experience and development 
of new markets, and drive cost savings, via standardisation 
and automation of processes.

•  Network optimisation – rationalise network footprints in 

Pathology and Imaging including laboratories, collection 
centres, fleet of couriers, warehouses and imaging facilities.

•  Workforce management – develop a better balance 

of workloads in the frontline operations and a dynamic 
rostering capability to more efficiently match supply 
and demand with the workforce.
Sourcing – reduce costs of external spend, currently  
$750 million, by direct sourcing or re-tendering.

Healius – Annual Report 2020OVERVIEW  Healius
supporting communities
during COVID-19

With a priority to protect the health and safety 
of its people and the communities around 
Australia, Healius set up dedicated COVID-19 
collection centres, diagnostic testing capability, 
GP isolation rooms and telehealth services.

As the global COVID-19 pandemic continued to develop in 
Australia, this brought a level of concern of the virus spreading 
through enclosed community spaces, which included waiting 
rooms in Healius’ medical centres and collection centres.

Dedicated COVID-19 testing centres were rolled out across 
the Healius network, followed by pop-up drive-through testing 
clinics in convenient locations, within cities and regional 
towns by our state-based pathology brands: Laverty 
in NSW and ACT, QML Pathology in Queensland, Dorevitch 
Pathology in Victoria and Western Diagnostic Pathology 
in Western Australia.

These clinics were set up at short notice to provide fast and 
convenient testing of patients, with new clinics continuing to 
be rolled-out as required, supporting and servicing the health 
and safety of local communities. To watch the drive-through 
process in action, you can view it using the following link: 
https://vimeo.com/417505970/27c11b437a.

At the same time, our teams within the medical centres were 
also able to adapt GP consultations via a telehealth service. 
This allowed patients who may have been suffering from 
COVID-19 symptoms, or for chronic patients who require regular 
monitoring and may have been nervous about visiting their GP 
for face-to-face consultations, to undertake their consultation 
remotely. It also allowed the vulnerable GPs within the Healius 
network to provide patient consultations in a safe environment.

In response to the exponential growth in testing volumes 
from May onwards, Healius’ capacity for testing COVID-19 
has been increased including with equipment brought into 

Australia by the Minderoo Foundation. This was foremost 
in Victoria where Healius’ Dorevitch Pathology operation 
partnered with the Department of Health and Human Services 
(DHHS) to provide testing to many of the public hospitals in 
metropolitan and regional Victoria, as well as private hospitals 
and direct to GP-referred patients. To service the needs of 
the DHHS and Australian community, Dorevitch Pathology 
increased COVID-19 testing capacity with laboratories 
in Victoria operating 24 hours per day, modifying its 
laboratories to enable more COVID-19 testing equipment 
to be installed and prioritising cases according to clinical 
needs to ensure optimal turnaround times, while maintaining 
its capacity to manage general pathology testing. As a result, 
over 50% of Dorevitch’s COVID-19 test results were reported 
within 24 hours in Victoria in July 2020. 

Laverty Pathology, NSW and QML Pathology, QLD have also 
increased laboratory testing capacity through the installation 
of new equipment as well as employing additional scientists, 
laboratory technicians and collectors to service the increased 
community testing volumes.

As the economy continues to open, our pathology business 
will be equipped to handle more testing for businesses, 
government and airlines when travel reopens.

Our IVF customers
ADORA FERTILITY
Our Adora Fertility clinics were closed during the four-week government-imposed shut-down of IVF centres due to COVID-19. 
During this period our Adora team rolled out a series of virtual webinar events as many patients were anxious about their IVF journey 
being put on hold. These webinars allowed existing and potential IVF patients to remain connected to their clinic and IVF team from 
the comfort and safety of their homes. The series of events were hosted by our experienced Fertility Specialists and National Medical 
Director, who spoke on a range of fertility topics and answered questions for around 200 potential new patients on the following:

Initial 
Investigations 
and Treatment 
Options

PCOS & 
Ovulation

From May to July, IVF has bounced back with Adora seeing strong volumes and a high level of new patient enquiries.

SALE PROCESS
In February 2020, Healius announced a sale process 
for its Medical Centres and Dental businesses in line 
with its strategy to simplify the portfolio and focus 
on its diagnostic services and day hospitals. 

The sale vehicle was called Healius Primary Care 
and included 69 Healius Medical Centres, 13 Health 
& Co clinics and 62 Primary Dental centres, 61 of which 
are located within the Healius Medical Centres, with 
four other small-scale centres retained by Healius 
which are in the process of being closed. 

In June 2020, Healius announced the signing of a sale 
agreement with certain funds managed by BGH Capital 
for $500 million enterprise value which enabled the 
realisation of value for the Medical Centres not fully 
reflected in the historical share price. 

Healius will continue to operate its existing pathology 
collection centres and imaging clinics located 
within the medical centres under long term leases 
at market rents.

In announcing the sale, Dr Malcolm Parmenter, 
Healius’ CEO said: “This is a seminal moment in the 
history of Healius, which was founded as a medical 
centres business by Dr Edmund Bateman in 1985 
and grew to over 86 medical centres, including the 
Health & Co clinics. 

“Over the past few years we have transformed the 
operations of the business, with new and extended 
patient offerings, more flexible doctor contracts and 
updated facilities and systems. I am confident that, 
backed by the financial strength of BGH Capital, 
the business will continue to successfully serve the 
Australian community in the provision of quality, 
accessible and affordable frontline healthcare.”

Healius – Annual Report 2020OVERVIEWChair and CEO’s letter

Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to present you with Healius’ 2020 Annual 
Report. Healius aspires to be a purpose-led organisation 
caring for the health and wellbeing of Australians at every 
stage of life. Never has this purpose been so apparent than 
it has this year. From the day-to-day care that Healius’ 
people deliver as they undertake their mission “to seek and 
sustain life enhancing healthcare”, through to the key role 
we play in responding to the challenges of the COVID-19 
pandemic, Healius really is here to support the health 
of Australia. 

It has also been a year of intense corporate activity. 
In February 2020, we assessed and rejected an acquisition 
proposal by respected private equity firm Partners Group, 
on the basis that the offer did not adequately value our 
market leading businesses. 

At the end of the year we also announced the 
sale of our Healius Primary Care business, which 
includes our medical centres and dental businesses, 
a seminal moment in our history but one core to the 
strategy of simplifying our portfolio.

COVID-19 impact
As a frontline healthcare provider, our overriding focus 
was, and continues to be, to play a key role in combating 
COVID-19. We made the decision early that preserving 
our frontline healthcare capacity and capability should 
be our prime focus. We responded quickly through setting 
up pathology drive-through testing centres, reworking 
our laboratories to expand COVID-19 testing capabilities, 
and creating GP isolation rooms and telehealth services, 
and most importantly, providing a safe environment for 
our people and patients.

14

We are grateful for the terrific response from our people. 
In addition to their huge effort in serving the community, 
their selfless participation in the various labour management 
initiatives kept our costs contained when revenue was reduced 
so swiftly in the early months of the pandemic. The Board and 
senior executives fully participated through pay reductions.

We are also grateful to our landlords who provided rental 
concessions and we received in the order of $7 million 
in delays or waivers. 

The Federal Government provided $11 million of financial 
support to maintain our operating capacity and implement the 
Minderoo sourced testing equipment, increasing our capacity. 
This financial support offset a portion of our revenue decline 
from April when matters were at their worst. This enabled us 
to keep our remote and rural services operating and maintain 
our permanent staffing levels. We are very appreciative 
of this support and the strong working relationships we have 
developed with the public health authorities both Federally 
and in the States.

Without the collective support of our stakeholders, we would 
have necessarily undertaken further cost cutting measures 
including laying off staff, reducing services and inevitably 
reducing our capacity. As it was, we kept all our permanent staff 
on our payroll, including in Primary Dental and Adora IVF which 
were both required to cease operations for a period of time.

2020 in review

Looking at the financials, Healius delivered an Underlying 
Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of $55.4 million for continuing 
operations for the year ended 30 June 2020 (FY 2020), 
compared to $70.3 million for the prior comparable period.  
Our businesses were tracking in line with guidance until  
mid-March 2020, with strong growth in revenue and 
earnings in Pathology, Imaging and Montserrat Day Hospitals.

When the spread of COVID-19 accelerated in Australia, 
we saw a rapid and significant decline in volumes 
in non-critical and routine services in line with community 
concerns around visiting healthcare centres. At their worst, 
volumes were down over 30% and 40% in Pathology and 
Imaging respectively on prior comparable periods.

With the reopening of the economy in May and June, 
Healius saw an improvement in volumes, however with 
differing recovery rates by business and by geography. 

Pathology, our largest business, recovered strongly, delivering 
revenue growth of 3% to $1.2 billion and Underlying Earnings 
Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) of $115.1 million, a 4% increase. 

In Imaging, revenue was down 4% to $376.7 million 
and underlying EBIT down significantly to $17.2 million, 
impacted by COVID-19 lock down measures and 
restrictions on elective surgery.

The Day Hospitals business is a tale of two parts, with 
Montserrat profitable, achieving EBIT of $3.1 million, while 
Healius Day Hospitals and Adora IVF were loss-making, 
impacted by relevant clinical restrictions in March and 
April. We are focused on turning Healius Day Hospitals 
and Adora IVF around to deliver profits in FY 2021. 

The underlying results are used as our prime measure of 
operating performance. Statutory NPAT for the year was a loss 
of $70.5 million compared to a profit of $55.3 million in FY 2019. 

The FY 2020 Statutory result included $142.5 million loss relating 
to the sale of the Healius Primary Care business, primarily driven 
by a non-cash impairment of goodwill. 

At the end of FY 2020, we delivered a strong balance sheet 
with ratios comfortably within bank covenants, increased 
liquidity and a successful refinancing of our tranche 1 debt 
facility. Through cash conservation measures during COVID-19, 
operating cash flow was above the prior year and capital 
expenditure was carefully managed.

Sale of Medical Centre business
In June 2020, we announced that Healius had entered into 
a binding agreement to sell the Healius Primary Care business 
to funds managed by BGH Capital for an enterprise value 
of $500 million. We expect the receipt of approximately 
$470 million in cash proceeds in FY 2021, after buyer 
transaction and separation costs, which should deliver 
significant balance sheet flexibility. 

Despite the challenging environment from the COVID-19 
pandemic, the successful sale of Healius Primary Care is 
testament to the quality of this business and its people, enabling 
the realisation of value which we believe was not fully reflected 
in our share price. At the same time the sale has simplified our 
business portfolio to the strong foundations of our diagnostic 
businesses and the growth opportunities in day hospitals. 

Our people
Our success depends on putting our people front and centre, 
with the right tools and support to deliver the best possible 
patient outcomes. This cultural focus on our organisational 
health will continue as our business evolves over the coming years.

In November 2019, Healius announced changes to its senior 
executives. Ben Korst was appointed Chief Executive Day 
Hospitals, managing Montserrat, Healius Day Hospitals and 
Adora Fertility. Ben has been the CEO of Montserrat since 2010. 

Additionally, Errol Katz retired after serving nine years on our 
Board as Non-executive Director. 

Sustainable improvement program
At the end of FY 2019, we introduced the Sustainable 
Improvement Program to systematically reduce costs and 
improve efficiencies across Healius, with a target of $70 million 
in savings, representing 4–5% of the cost base. During FY 2020, 
Healius delivered in-year savings of $37 million across more 
than 150 initiatives in labour, property, and consumables with 
an annualised run rate of $54 million. These savings were key 
to ameliorating cost inflation during the year. 

In FY 2021, the program aims to deliver margin expansion, 
with a focus on addressing more complex but higher value 
structural improvements including digitisation and automation, 
network optimisation, workforce management and more 
competitive external contracting. In addition, with many of our 
strategic programs now complete, adjustments between our 
reported and underlying results should be significantly reduced 
with the Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) Platforms 
the only non-underlying project going forward.

Going forward
We remain committed to our crucial frontline role in the fight 
against COVID-19 and our overriding priority is the health and 
safety of our people, healthcare professionals, our patients 
and the Australian community.

Following the reopening of the economy in May, our Pathology 
division has demonstrated its resilience with increasing 
COVID-19 testing more than offsetting any softness in 
non-COVID-19 testing. This has continued into July and August 
with significantly elevated levels of testing in the community, 
up to 16,000 tests per day on occasion, in response to State 
based outbreaks. At the time of writing, we have completed 
more than 1 million COVID-19 tests, more than half since 
30 June 2020, which we believe are an indispensable part 
of the country’s fight against COVID-19.

We also have a number of commercial contracts for 
COVID-19 screening including for the Federal Government 
and Opposition, their staff and families and with the AFL. 
We expect these commercial contracts to continue to 
increase as organisations endeavour to operate in a safe 
environment when they reopen. 

However, the Stage 4 lock-down in Victoria, which 
commenced in early August 2020, has negatively impacted 
business-as-usual testing in the Pathology and Imaging 
divisions, in particular in the Imaging division which does 
not have a COVID-19-testing revenue ‘hedge’.

Looking to the future, Healius is in a strong position as we 
deliver critical and largely non-discretionary health services 
at scale. With the sale of Healius Primary Care, Healius will 
have a streamlined portfolio and a sound balance sheet. 
As the second and third largest player respectively in 
Pathology and Imaging in Australia, we will continue to build 
on our strong brands, scalable platforms, clinical leadership 
and established positions. We will look to invest further in Day 
Hospitals, a sector with economic, technological and regulatory 
tailwinds as alternative to traditional overnight hospital care. 

We would like to thank the Healius management team, 
healthcare professionals, employees and our fellow Directors 
for their continued passion, commitment and sheer hard work 
and sacrifices over the last 12 months. We are extremely proud 
of the efforts and dedication of our people during the demands 
of the COVID-19 pandemic. We would also like to thank you, 
as shareholders, for your continued support and encouragement.

Underlying results
During the year ended 30 June 2020, Healius was tracking ahead of the prior comparative period and in line with guidance 
until mid-March, with strong growth in revenue and EBIT in Pathology, Imaging and Montserrat Day Hospitals. 

In mid-March, the spread of COVID-19 accelerated in Australia and the Federal Government instigated a national 
lock-down. As a frontline healthcare provider, Healius focused on helping to combat the virus with dedicated COVID-19 
pathology drive-throughs and collection centres, increased COVID-19 testing capabilities at its pathology laboratories, 
and GP isolation rooms and telehealth services.

All comments in this Review relate to underlying results for continuing operations unless otherwise noted. Underlying results for continuing 
operations for the year ended 30 June 2020 exclude the results of Healius Primary Care, the impact of the loss on sale of Healius Primary Care, 
items considered to be outside the underlying activities of the Group and the impact of AASB 16. For a reconciliation and analysis, refer section 
below titled “Group reported results”.

1 

16

The Group experienced an increase in its COVID-19 testing and telehealth services but a sharp and rapid decline in volumes 
in non-critical and routine services in line with community concerns around visiting healthcare centres and the cessation of all 
non-urgent elective surgery. At their worst, volumes were down over 30% and 40% in Pathology and Imaging respectively 
compared to the prior comparable period. Additional costs for personal protective equipment and screening in GP clinics 
were incurred to provide a safe environment for patients and staff.

During mid-March to April with the extent of the volume declines and the timing of any recovery unknown, management 
implemented measures to cut its operating costs, notwithstanding its largely fixed cost base, including reducing opening hours 
and temporarily closing pathology metropolitan collection centres and imaging sites. While keeping all its permanent workforce 
employed, it undertook labour management with the assistance of employees and unions. It also negotiated approximately  
$7 million in short-term rental concessions across the Group.

The Pathology division is eligible for government assistance, currently estimated at $11 million in connection with its revenue 
declines in April, in return for the ongoing delivery of its services including in remote and regional areas, maintaining permanent 
staffing levels, and reducing senior management and Board salaries and fees. Montserrat and Healius Day Hospitals will receive 
a combined $1.7 million in JobKeeper and viability payments. Without this support, further reductions in services and other 
measures would have been undertaken.

From May onwards, the economy started progressively opening up and Healius saw a good recovery in its volumes although with 
differing recovery rates by division and by state. This dynamic situation has continued into FY 2021 and the Group remains focused 
on the proactive management of the business in response to localised COVID-19 outbreaks and state government initiatives. 

Overall in FY 2020, the Group recorded a 2% growth in revenue, notwithstanding the significant impact of COVID-19. 
Underlying EBIT was down 18%, underpinned by a strong trading performance in Pathology and Montserrat in combination 
with cost-saving initiatives. This partially offset the significant COVID-19-related decreases in Imaging.

Healius – Annual Report 2020THE YEAR IN REVIEWGroup performance

Dividends
On 26 February 2020, Healius’ Board determined that an interim dividend of 2.6 cents per share, fully franked, would be payable. 
On 14 April 2020, due to the negative impacts of COVID-19 on the business at that time, the Board determined to defer payment 
of this dividend for six months. This dividend is expected to be paid as rescheduled on 15 October 2020.

Notwithstanding its relatively strong FY 2020 result, the Board does not consider it appropriate to pay a final dividend for FY 2020 
because it has received the benefit of assistance and, in some cases, personal sacrifices from its stakeholders including its 
people, landlords and Government throughout a challenging second half of FY 2020.

Given the strong outlook for FY 2021, the Board expects regular dividends to re-commence in the first half of 2021. Moreover, 
following the completion of the sale of Healius Primary Care, the Board intends to review its capital structure including 
consideration of an out-of-cycle dividend and other capital uses. The Board hopes to provide an update on this capital 
management review at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 22 October 2020.

Sale of Healius Primary Care
Together with its 1H 20 results, Healius announced a sale process for its Medical Centres and Dental businesses including 
Health & Co, called Healius Primary Care, in line with its strategy to simplify the portfolio and focus on its diagnostic services 
and day hospitals. 

In June 2020, Healius announced the signing of a sale agreement signed with certain funds managed by BGH Capital for 
$500 million enterprise value, enabling the realisation of value not fully reflected in the historical share price. The sale proceeds 
of approximately $470 million 1 will significantly strengthen the Group’s balance sheet and support growth initiatives. Completion 
is expected in 1H 21. 

Group results for continuing operations in FY 2020 exclude the trading of Healius Primary Care since this business is deemed 
to be ‘held for sale’ under the accounting standards for this period. The comparable period has also been adjusted. Reported 
results for FY 2020 include an adjustment for a loss from discontinued operations which primarily represents a non-cash write-off 
of goodwill (refer section titled ‘Healius Primary Care (Discontinued operations)’).

Sustainable Improvement Program (‘SIP’)
The Sustainable Improvement Program (SIP) was introduced at the end of FY 2019 to systematically reduce costs and improve 
efficiencies across the Group. Pathology and Imaging labour, Pathology property and Pathology consumables were identified 
as the largest addressable opportunities with a target of $70 million in savings announced, representing 4–5% of the cost base.

In FY 2020, over 150 initiatives commenced, delivering savings in labour, property, consumables and IT. Across the Group, in year 
savings of $37 million 2 were achieved, notwithstanding the inevitable shifting of focus to COVID-19-related challenges from 
mid-March onwards. The annualised run rate of $54 million 2 in savings makes up a good portion of the program’s total target 
of $70 million. These savings have served to partially offset cost inflation across the Group.

From FY 2021, the program aims to deliver margin expansion, with a focus on addressing more complex but higher value structural 
improvements. Initiatives are focused in four major categories:
•  Digitisation and automation – optimise revenue, via improved consumer experience and development of new markets, and drive 

cost savings, via standardisation and automation of processes.

•  Network optimisation – rationalise network footprints in Pathology and Imaging including laboratories, collection centres, 

fleet of couriers, warehouses and imaging facilities, 

•  Workforce management – develop a better balance of workloads in the frontline operations and a more dynamic rostering 

capability to better match supply and demand with the workforce, and
Sourcing – reduce costs of external spend, currently at $750 million, by direct sourcing or re-tendering.

• 

Healius’ corporate costs include centralised support services for the Group where functions benefit from scale, and core corporate 
costs including strategy, capital and stakeholder management, Board fees and executive incentives. Approximately $90 million 
is managed at a Group level of which approximately $70 million is allocated to the operations in the form of an overhead charge 
based on headcount, footprint, and usage. Divisional overhead allocations were reset following the sale of Healius Primary Care 
at appropriate go-forward rates.

Healius has already undertaken an organisational review which has seen the management structure simplified, the divisions more 
autonomous and the Group functions more efficient. It will complete the right-sizing of its support function cost base to reflect its 
smaller and more streamlined portfolio, with targeted savings of $15 million in overheads by the end of FY 2022.

Up to $75 million may be deferred up to 18 months, payable once the dental business returns to pre-COVID-19 trading levels. Also subject 
to movements in working capital and capital expenditure and sale costs over the period until completion.

2  After implementation costs of $13 million.

Streamlined portfolio
With the completion of the sale of Healius Primary Care, Healius will be a specialist diagnostics company with a growing day 
hospitals business. It will have balance sheet flexibility, low leverage and a high level of liquidity together with significantly 
reduced requirements for capital expenditure. 

Being the second and third largest player in Pathology and Imaging respectively in Australia, Healius will build on its strong brands, 
clinical leadership and established positions with targeted investment for growth. Over time, it will look to invest in Day Hospitals, 
a sector with economic, technological and regulatory tailwinds as an alternative to traditional overnight hospital care.

Balance sheet management
At the end of FY 2020, Healius delivered a strong balance sheet with ratios comfortably within bank covenants. Through cash 
conservation measures during COVID-19, operating cash flow was above the prior year and capital expenditure was carefully managed. 

Healius successfully refinanced the first tranche of its syndicated bank debt facility of $500 million which was due to mature 
in January 2021. The facility has been increased by $70 million to $570 million and its maturity extended to January 2024, with 
covenants remaining unchanged. The second tranche of $525 million is due to expire in January 2023. As a result of the refinance, 
Healius had $424 million of liquidity at 30 June 2020 and a good buffer to sustain any further disruptions from COVID-19. 

The completion of the sale of Healius Primary Care in FY 2021 will deliver cash proceeds in the order of $470 million 1 which will give 
the Group significant flexibility for capital management and value-generating investments.

In addition, a substantial portion of capital expenditure will cease following the sale of Healius Primary Care in FY 2021 with 
35% of FY 2020 capital expenditure totalling $122 million relating to Healius Primary Care.

Group cash flow for FY 2020 was as follows:

Healius – Annual Report 2020THE YEAR IN REVIEWGroup performance

Capital expenditure
Operating cash flow was used to fund $55.9 million in maintenance capital (FY 2019 $51.6 million) and $66.0 million in growth capital 
(FY 2019 $176.4 million including $68.3 million for the acquisition of Montserrat).

Maintenance capital expenditure for Pathology, Imaging and Day Hospitals totalled $34.3 million in FY 2020 and for Healius 
Primary Care totalled $21.6 million primarily on upfront payments to healthcare professionals. The latter expenditure will no longer 
be required following the sale of Healius Primary Care in FY 2021. 

Growth capital expenditure for Pathology, Imaging and Day Hospitals totalled $44.7 million in FY 2020 and included:
• 
• 
• 

$10.7 million for strategic projects,
$11.0 million for the Montserrat acquisition earn-out relating to the commissioning of the four new sites, and
$5.2 million for a small pathology acquisition.

Growth capital expenditure for Healius Primary Care totalled $21.3 million and included $10.4 million GP clinic earn-outs and 

acquisitions. Once again, this growth investment will not continue following the sale of Healius Primary Care in FY 2021.

Healius Primary Care (Discontinued operations)
As noted above, in June 2020 Healius announced the sale of its Medical Centres and Dental businesses, called Healius Primary 
Care, for $500 million enterprise value. Group reported results for FY 2020 include an adjustment for discontinued operations. 

The trading result for Healius Primary Care for the year,

This comprises:
• 
•  An impairment loss from the difference between the net sale proceeds and value of assets to be sold, and
•  Costs associated with the sale.

Accordingly, a loss on sale of $142.5 million has been recognised, as follows:

Strategic projects
As previously advised, there are three key strategic projects which are transformational in nature and unlikely to be undertaken 
again at such a collective magnitude. The projects are the technology platform upgrades in Pathology and in Imaging, and the 
corporate renewal program (previously four projects including Project Leapfrog which is now part of the discontinued operations). 
They are reported separately both internally and to the market in order to neither distract from nor distort the underlying performance. 

Adjustments in FY 2020 were as follows:
Platforms in Pathology $9.9 million (FY 2019 $10.3 million),
• 
• 
Platforms in Imaging $3.0 million (FY 2019 $3.1 million), and
•  Corporate renewal program $5.4 million (FY 2019 $9.2 million).

Going forward, only the technology platform upgrades in Pathology will be recorded as a non-underlying project and adjusted 
between reported and underlying results.

Healius – Annual Report 2020THE YEAR IN REVIEWGroup performance

Montserrat acquisition
Healius’ acquisition of Montserrat Day Hospitals in FY 2019 included earn-outs contingent on Montserrat achieving certain financial 
milestones in FY 2021 and FY 2022 and $16.6 million was recognised for these potential earn-outs in the accounts. No earn-out 
was achieved in FY 2020 due to the impacts of COVID-19. However, given strong budgeted performance in FY 2021, an additional 
amount of $14.5 million has been accrued for FY 2021 potential earn-out.

Impairments
Impairment costs of $11.6 million primarily relate to Healius Day Hospitals and Eye Clinics that are now standalone businesses 
following separation from Healius Primary Care. 

Other
Other non-underlying adjustments of $8.5 million primarily relate to:
•  Redundancy costs under the organisational redesign program, consistent with the simplification of the Group 

management structure, and

•  Costs of surplus Head Office space from transitioning to a more flexible operating model for Head Office employees, 

driven by COVID-19.

Transactions with discontinued operations
The accounting standards require businesses held for sale to include in their results only transactions with external parties and 
hence to eliminate any intercompany transactions during the period. Accordingly, rental revenue from the Pathology and Imaging 
divisions, net of overhead charges and other costs, have been eliminated within discontinued operations and the corresponding 
net costs have also been eliminated in continuing operations. These net costs have been added back for the underlying results 
of continuing operations.

Non-underlying items: ATO Case 2003–2007
In 2015, Healius was advised by the Commissioner of Taxation (“the Commissioner”) that lump sum payments made by it to 
healthcare practitioners for the financial years 2010 to 2014 were tax deductible. Healius subsequently filed an application for 
similar tax deductions for the financial years 2003 to 2007 1, subject to the Commissioner’s discretion in allowing an out-of-time 
objection. Following the Commissioner’s decision not to allow such an objection, Healius commenced legal proceedings which 
culminated in a favourable decision by the Federal Court of Australia in November 2019. The Commissioner appealed to the 
Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia and this appeal was heard in August 2020. Healius is awaiting the decision of the 
appeal. In the meantime, Healius has recognised the following as non-underlying benefits in its reported results due to the 
favourable Federal Court ruling and the introduction of AASB Interpretation 23 (clarification of accounting for uncertain tax 
treatments) in FY 2020:
• 
• 

$46.6 million income tax benefit, and 
$23.6 million interest benefit (which is taxable).

Adoption of AASB 16 
AASB 16 was adopted by Healius from 1 July 2019. This standard has removed the distinction between operating and finance leases 
with most leases now being recognised as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for short term leases and leases of low 
value assets. Healius has applied the new standard using the modified retrospective approach, which requires no restatement 
of comparative information in the reported results. Because of this, the underlying performance of the business has been stated 
before the impact of AASB 16 in order to ensure comparability year-on-year. From FY 2021 onwards, underlying (and reported) 
performance will be stated including the impact of AASB 16 in both the current and the prior periods.

The impact of AASB 16 on reported results for FY 2020 is to recognise depreciation and finance costs in the place of operating lease 
charges. The net impact on Healius’ reported results in FY 2020 is a $9.2 million after-tax loss due to a range of factors including:
•  Many of Healius’ large leases are relatively new and the recognition of interest costs is higher in the early years, 
• 

The majority of Pathology leases, which are small leases and/or have CPI increases, cannot be valued at a modified right 
of use asset value (which would be lower) and hence deliver a higher P&L expense in FY 2020, and

•  Both of the above will unwind over time with the P&L impact reversing.

1 

Healius was in a loss-making position for taxation purposes during FY 2008 and FY 2009.

22

Importantly, the adoption of AASB 16 currently has no economic impact on Healius, nor on its banking covenants, cash flows 
or shareholder value. 

The impact of AASB 16 on the P&L is as follows:

As shown above, there is a net asset reduction of $60.9 million due to the differences in the profile of depreciation and lease 
liabilities run-off on Healius’ property leases.

Healius – Annual Report 2020THE YEAR IN REVIEWPathology

Pathology is the largest division of Healius. It is a well-run business, 
with strong state-based brands which are all number one or two 
in their markets.

The strength of Healius’ Pathology division is well known, with long-term underlying 
drivers, strong market share, network and scale. 

In FY 2020, Pathology grew its revenues by 2.8%, due to a combination of average 
fee increases of 2.9% and volume declines of 1.5%. The result was underpinned 
by good trading up until the mid-March national lockdown and by a good recovery 
in business-as-usual testing from May along with strong COVID-19 community 
testing volumes.

The average fee increase was delivered from a range of initiatives in the year 
including private billing for electrocardiograms (ECGs), overseas patient billing 
and health fund gap billing. It was also due to the COVID-19 testing fee from the 
Government which has enabled the reconfiguration of laboratories to accommodate 
COVID-19 testing equipment, the roll-out of drive-through testing centres to enable 
easy and secure access for the public, and the focus on quick and accurate 
results delivery.

Overall, Pathology’s EBIT result improved 4% compared to FY 2019 as a result of strong 
cost control measures in combination with good trading other than in the mid-March/
April national lockdown.

At the height of the COVID-19 lock-down restrictions, the division responded with 
rapid cost control measures including temporarily closing a number of collection 
centres and negotiating rental reductions and deferrals. Employment levels were 
maintained with staff and unions working together with management to navigate 
the dynamic situation. 

In addition, the division received Government support conservatively estimated 
at $11 million, due to its significant volume declines in April. This support was in return 
for undertakings around availability of its remote and regional services, maintenance 
of staffing levels across the Group and remuneration and fee reductions for the Board 
and senior management. Without this support, additional cost reductions would have 
been undertaken.

The Sustainable Improvement Program (SIP) delivered $17 million in savings in 
business-as-usual activities. Both labour costs and approved collection centre costs 
grew at a lower rate than revenue. The division also focused on controlling capex 
spend during the period, with the increase attributable to the acquisition of a small 
pathology group and the development of a new laboratory in Western Australia, 
due to complete in FY 2021.

The performance of the division was as follows:

STRATEGY

Pathology
Major initiatives are focused on:
•  Revenue growth – growing revenue through new 
streams. The division has made good progress 
in converting commercial COVID-19 testing 
opportunities, with partnerships with organisations 
such as the Federal Government and the AFL. 
The division also continues to see growth in niche 
specialists including genetics. Despite the 
impact of COVID-19, there has been good growth 
in non-invasive prenatal testing which was up ~30% 
on the prior period.

•  Network optimisation – ongoing cost control and 
efficiencies from the Sustainable Improvement 
Program including right-sizing its footprint 
of collection centres and laboratories, based 
on value rather than volume. 

•  Workforce management – workforce capability 
management through planning and rostering 
initiatives, including courier run efficiencies. 

•  Digitisation – improving its digital capability 
in the customer journey, for example through 
e-referrals and results, to maximise efficiencies 
and improve customer and referrer experience. 

Pathology is also investing in a modern infrastructure 
platform that will provide significant clinical, 
operational and financial benefits to support future 
growth. This includes:
•  Upgrade to the main laboratory testing equipment, 

• 

called the Serum Work Area, which covers around 
60% of all pathology tests. This will increase 
automation and improve clinical methodologies 
while being at a lower cost per test. Laverty in New 
South Wales was completed in 1H 20, and QML 
in Queensland, Dorevitch in Victoria and Western 
Diagnostic Pathology in Western Australia and 
Northern Territory are on track for completion 
in FY 2021. 
Implementation of the national Laboratory 
Information System, or LIS, project to enable Healius 
to standardise processes and conventions, increase 
functionality and better meet referrers’ needs. 
The project will deliver a single instance of LIS within 
the existing system as well as additional modules 
for pre-analytical, reporting and specialities, such 
as genomics. A detailed program will be announced 
in 1H 21 on completion of vendor discussions and 
project planning.

Healius – Annual Report 2020THE YEAR IN REVIEWImaging

Healius’ Imaging division partners with independent radiologists 
who undertake a full range of medical imaging services including 
cardiac, neurological, vascular, musculoskeletal and dental imaging.

In FY 2020, Imaging was tracking ahead of the prior comparable period and 
in line with guidance until mid-March when volumes rapidly declined as a result 
of the COVID-19 pandemic and the national lock-down, peaking in excess of 40% 
compared to prior comparable period. From May, volumes started to return to normal 
in line with the reopening of the economy and the resumption of elective surgery. 
Unlike Pathology, Imaging does not have a natural ‘hedge’ in the form of COVID-19 
testing to offset the declines in the business-as-usual testing. Overall, FY 2020 
revenue was down 4%.

The division’s EBIT was $17.2 million for the period, a decrease of 55% due to 
COVID-19 related volume declines and increased costs of personal protective 
equipment. Faced with a largely fixed cost base and a rapid and significant 
volume decline, Imaging was able to achieve some cost savings including 
temporary site closures, reduction in opening hours and redeployment of staff. 
Labour management was undertaken with the support of the unions and staff 
while permanent employment levels were maintained. The division was not 
eligible for Government support such as JobKeeper.

STRATEGY
Imaging is focusing on digitising the patient journey 
and optimising its front-line services and processes. 
Major initiatives are:
•  Digitisation – The Imaging Core Application Refresh 
(iCAR) has delivered a new radiology information 
system (RIS) and a new picture archiving and 
communication solution (PACS) to the division. 
iCAR roll-out is now complete, in all but a small 
number of sites. These platforms have improved 
radiologist workflow, voice recognition, referrer 
delivery channel and images. Cost efficiencies are 
being realised and iCAR is enhancing the way the 
division interacts with referrers and their patients. 
A further component of Imaging’s technology road 
map is to digitise the end-to-end patient journey, 
including referrals, booking forms, check-in and 
results. Benefits are expected from FY 2022 onwards. 

•  Revenue growth – Imaging is leveraging iCAR 
to target the top five specialty referral groups 
to grow revenue. The business also remains focused 
on developing and growing the higher margin 
hospital channel.

•  Network optimisation – Imaging has identified 
opportunities to improve its returns through 
network optimisation, particularly in its footprint 
of community sites in NSW.

•  Workforce management – The division aims to 

optimise its front-line labour through benchmarking 
and rostering initiatives to drive efficiencies.

Healius – Annual Report 2020THE YEAR IN REVIEWDay Hospitals 

The Day Hospitals division has been created to bring together 
Montserrat, Healius Day Hospitals and Adora Fertility IVF under 
a single management structure. The Day Hospitals division operates 
in a sector where advancements in medicine and technology and 
on-going cost pressures are moving patients away from high-cost 
overnight hospitals into short-stay day hospitals. 

Montserrat’s flagship hospital, Westside Private Hospital, has equivalent high-level 
facilities to the Ambulatory Surgical Centres in the USA, which perform same-day 
outpatient surgical care and have become an integral part of that country’s healthcare 
system. Cancer treatments, cardiology, and orthopaedic procedures are projected 
to grow strongly in the outpatient setting, reducing hospital costs and improving clinical 
outcomes in a day hospital setting. The interest from consumers, private health insurers 
and governments in potential new models of care is strong. 

Montserrat Day Hospitals
In FY 2020, Montserrat delivered $34.2 million of revenue, an increase of 81% over 
FY 2019. Montserrat traded strongly until mid-March, with revenue increasing 
primarily due to the ramp-up of its four new facilities, including Brisbane’s 
multi-specialist Westside Private Hospital. Volumes were impacted by the elective 
surgery restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-March and April but 
moved back towards pre-COVID-19 levels with the lifting of these restrictions. 

Montserrat EBITDA at $5.4 million is broadly in line with expectations at the time 
of the acquisition and includes a $2.6 million contribution from the four new facilities.

Notwithstanding the COVID-19-related volume declines, the business achieved EBIT 
of $3.1 million in FY 2020, a significant increase on the prior year. It accessed $0.6 million 
in JobKeeper from the Federal Government for seven of its hospitals, without which 
it would have necessarily undertaken cost containment initiatives. 

Healius Day Hospitals
Healius Day Hospitals recorded revenue of $12.5 million for FY 2020. Its 2H 20 volumes 
were impacted by the COVID-19-related elective surgery restrictions. Overall, the 
business delivered an EBIT loss of $6.7 million for the year, impacted by COVID-19, 
the closure of its Bankstown facility, and certain one-off costs due to the separation 
from Healius Primary Care. The four Healius Day Hospitals accessed various State 
Governments’ Viability Guarantee agreements totalling $1.1 million.

IVF
Healius’ IVF business, Adora Fertility, grew revenue by 10% to $18.7 million. Its volumes 
were impacted by the elective surgery restrictions, with a four-week total shut down. 
Pleasingly, strong GP and specialist commitment to telehealth consultations ensured 
continued patient throughput during this time. IVF volumes recovered with the 
reopening of the economy, with demand strong in May, June and July. 

The business had an EBIT loss of $3.2 million in FY 2020, half of which arose during 
the lock-down. It did not receive any Government support. Initiatives were introduced 
towards the end of the year to improve pricing and increase the revenue per cycle. 
Pleasingly, Adora Fertility delivered profits in June and July 2020.

During the year the business undertook some capital-light initiatives including the 
enhancement of its sites. A focus on targeted social media campaigns drove increased 
demand from new patients and Adora Fertility continues to grow its market share.

STRATEGY

Montserrat Day Hospitals
Montserrat is focused on further growth through the 
ramp up of its four new sites which are expected to 
double their EBITDA contribution in FY 2021. The division 
will look for inorganic growth opportunities both M&A 
and greenfields, as a leading player with a scalable 
platform in a fragmented industry.

Healius Day Hospitals
The business is focused on a turnaround from its 
current loss-making into profit. It aims to achieve 
this through the integration and rebranding of the 
Healius Day Hospitals into Montserrat, through 
improving margins by merging supply chains 
and billing systems and by focusing on business 
development and labour management. 

The business has rationalised its network with the 
closure of Bankstown and is in the process of selling 
its Eye Clinics. Going forward, Healius Day Hospitals 
will partner with GP owners rather than operating 
individual specialist clinics.

IVF
The business is focused on capitalising on its market 
share and delivering profitable contribution to the 
Group. It will continue to optimise its service model 
through digitisation of delivery activities, grow brand 
awareness and monetise selective services to increase 
revenue per cycle. IVF is also upgrading capacity 
in Western Australia to meet expected demand.

Healius – Annual Report 2020DIRECTORS & SENIOR MANAGEMENTRisk 
management

Healius has designed 
a Risk Management 
Framework consistent 
with current 
best practice.

The Risk Management Framework formalises the approach adopted by all 
of Healius’ businesses to manage risk. The future performance of Healius, including 
its share performance, may be influenced by a range of risk factors, many of which 
are outside the control of Healius. A non-exhaustive list of key risks, including those 
specific to Healius and those of a more general nature, is set out in this section. 
Healius’ business, financial condition, or results of operations could be affected 
by any of these risks, either individually or in combination.

Identifying and mitigating risk is key to Healius achieving its objectives and 
protecting shareholder value. By following the Risk Management Framework, 
Healius has a consistent risk management methodology that can be applied 
to all strategic, operational and contractual objectives.

Risk Management – Principles and Guidelines
Healius has adopted the International Organisation for Standardisation AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018 ‘Risk Management 
– Principles and Guidelines’ approach to risk management, ensuring each division considers risk when making key decisions 
that drive its business, and maintains a disciplined focus on operational excellence and effective risk management.

The Principles underpinning the risk management framework are:

01

Creates and 
protects value

Summary of risks

CONTEXT

RISK

MITIGATION

Pandemic 
Risks including 
COVID-19

Pandemic risks such as COVID-19 
pose business continuity risk to Healius. 
There is the risk that staff and pathology 
laboratories are adversely impacted 
by a pandemic, such as COVID-19, which 
limits our ability to provide testing facilities. 
There is also the risk from shutdowns 
across communities that may adversely 
impact the volume of business-as-usual 
testing in pathology, number of patient 
visits to medical centres and the volume 
of referrals to Imaging, Day Hospitals and IVF.

Healius continually monitors and reports on 
the number of staff and healthcare professionals 
impacted by a pandemic such as COVID-19, 
and required to self isolate. Healius continually 
monitors daily volumes across all divisions 
and structures resources accordingly.

Regulatory 
Compliance

Healius operates in sectors which 
are subject to extensive laws and 
significant levels of regulations relating 
to the development, licencing and 
accreditation of facilities and services.

Healius maintains high quality standards 
and audit processes to ensure it continually 
meets licencing and accreditation 
standards across all business units.

Revenue 
Concentration 
and Government 
Policy

Economic Drivers

Healthcare 
Professionals 
(HCPs)

Healius is committed to providing affordable 
healthcare. Bulk-billing its services 
to patients and receiving reimbursement 
through the Government’s Medicare 
Benefits Schedule (MBS) is a key feature 
of this. As a result a substantial proportion 
of the Group’s revenue is derived from the 
MBS. Any changes to the MBS or any other 
Government funding initiatives could impact 
profitability through reductions in revenue.

Healius maintains tight control over 
costs and continually reviews the range 
of service offerings available to patients.

Healius is continuing to diversify 
into other service areas to generate 
non-MBS revenue streams.

The Group Executive Government 
Relations monitors legislative and 
regulatory developments and engages 
proactively to manage this risk.

While the majority of Healius’ revenue 
comes from MBS reimbursements, Healius 
does charge out-of-pockets on some 
services. In addition there may be a general 
perception that some healthcare services 
are expensive. Consequently consumers may 
delay or not use services due to affordability 
concerns, impacting volumes and revenue.

Healius contracts to provide services to HCPs, 
including general practitioners, surgeons, 
specialists and radiologists. A significant 
component of Healius’ revenue is dependent 
upon HCPs providing services to patients 
in Healius facilities. Failure to maintain 
strong relationships with these parties may 
impact the ability to retain and recruit 
HCPs. This may impact growth prospects, 
revenue earned, the cost structure and 
profitability of Healius’ businesses.

Healius maintains tight control over 
costs and continually reviews the range 
of service offerings available to patients.

Healius advertises its services are 
bulk-billed where appropriate and educates 
the consumer on any out-of-pocket costs.

Healius has managers and staff dedicated 
to building and maintaining relationships, 
increasing engagement and addressing 
any issues with HCPs on a timely basis.

Surgeons are able to select the facility in which 
they operate, therefore Healius, through 
Montserrat, has invested in high quality facilities, 
systems and services to meet the needs 
of surgeons who operate in our Day Hospitals.

Healius also has Clinical Councils in place 
to provide forums for sharing ideas and 
information with HCPs.

MITIGATION

Referrers

People

Employee 
Relations

Healius is reliant upon HCPs continuing to 
choose a pathology or diagnostic imaging 
services provider affiliated with Healius. 
A reduction or loss of referrals may impact 
the financial performance of Healius.

Healius has managers and staff dedicated to 
maintaining relationships, increasing engagement 
and addressing any issues with HCPs, referrers 
and non-doctor clients on a timely basis.

Healius is dependent on the quality of its 
staff, their skills, expertise and commitment 
to the Group. A loss of key staff may risk the 
loss of significant corporate knowledge.

Healius has developed staff engagement and 
leadership programs to increase the level of 
employee engagement across the Group, and 
identified key staff for programs that focus on 
retention and succession planning for the Group.

Many of Healius’ employees are covered 
by a complex array of awards, enterprise 
bargaining agreements and other workplace 
agreements which periodically require 
classification, renegotiation and renewal.

Healius has developed staff engagement 
programs to increase the level of 
employee engagement within all areas 
of the business, including those covered 
by awards and agreements.

In addition, a number of recent Court 
decisions and Government announcements 
have made it clear that the employee 
relations landscape will continue to evolve.

Negotiations could result in issues 
which may lead to disruptions to 
Healius’ operations and increased 
direct and indirect labour costs. These 
may adversely impact the financial 
performance and reputation of Healius.

Healius has managers and staff dedicated 
to negotiating workplace agreements.

Healius has recently created a dedicated 
Employee Relations function to ensure that 
it remains compliant with its employee 
relations requirements and obligations.

IT Systems

Healius relies on effective information 
technology systems. Operations 
may be significantly impacted 
by disruption to a core IT platform.

Healius has IT support systems in place 
to underpin business operations.

Cyber Security

Healius maintains sensitive clinical and 
financial information and its databases 
may be at risk from cyber attacks.

Healius has an information security management 
framework and information security policy which 
are based on ISO 27001 and NIST best practice 
standards which align with Healius’ risk appetite.

Healius has an ongoing program to 
strengthen defences against unauthorised 
access, and to protect patient and 
financial data with IT managers and staff 
dedicated to information security.

Competition

36

Competition may come from new entrants 
into the market, existing competitors 
attempting to increase market share or 
from disruptive technologies that may change 
that way services are delivered. A change in 
competition may impact Healius’ profitability, 
its ability to attract and retain HCPs and to 
secure attractive locations for its businesses.

Healius maintains its competitive edge through 
an extensive footprint of centres, investment 
in quality and innovation in healthcare services, 
and a cost-conscious operating model.

In addition, senior management is attuned 
to market developments and is able 
to respond to any competitive threats.

MITIGATION

Business 
Strategies and 
Transformation 
Projects

Healius is undergoing significant 
transformation as it seeks to position 
itself for future growth and sustainability. 
There is a risk that significant change 
may impact current operational 
focus and ineffective implementation, 
misguided strategies or industry changes 
of initiatives and strategies, may impact 
the financial performance of the business.

Healius is applying portfolio management to 
prioritise and align change initiatives to Healius’ 
business strategy, in order to mitigate this risk.

Reputation

Acquisitions

Climate Change

Healius’ reputation may be impacted 
by a future event that creates adverse 
perception of the Group for the 
public, investors, regulators, or rating 
agencies that directly or indirectly 
impacts earnings and value.

Healius maintains stringent quality standards, 
audit processes and effective involvement 
of executive and senior management 
in decision making to ensure it continues 
to provide quality healthcare and minimise 
the risk of reputational damage.

Healius has an acquisition program 
to acquire businesses which may be 
either rolled into our existing businesses, 
or provide new service offerings 
in the community. There is a risk that 
the acquisitions may not generate the 
financial returns or performance hurdles 
required to meet Healius benchmarks.

Climate change risks may be either 
‘physical’ with financial implications 
resulting from potential damage to 
assets, indirect impacts from supply 
chain disruption, or ‘transitional’ 
through changes to regulations 
and consumer behaviour.

Healius has a robust due diligence process 
to assess the merits of each proposed 
acquisition, and plans the transition of the 
acquired business into the Healius Group.

Healius manages its operations in 
an environmentally sustainable manner, 
focusing on energy and renewables to improve 
efficiency, adapting to changes in consumer 
behaviour and reducing its carbon footprint. 
In the event of extreme weather conditions 
impacting the operation, through damage 
or disruption from supply chain, Healius has 
the network to continue operations in other 
locations where possible.

Healius Primary 
Care Separation

The sale of Healius Primary Care will 
require separation from the Group 
of IT systems, property leases and other 
support functions. There is a risk that 
this places increased pressure upon 
limited resources in the timeframe required.

The separation activities have been 
split into various work streams with teams 
in place responsible for respective work 
streams. There is a high level Steering 
Committee overseeing the work 
stream progress.

Significant change in the state of affairs
There was no significant change in the state of affairs of the Group during the year. During the year, the Company elected to sell 
its Healius Primary Care business. The sale is expected to complete in FY 2021.

Principal activities 
During the year, the Group had three principal continuing activities – pathology, imaging and day hospitals. Through a unique 
footprint of centres, the Group provides facilities and support services to independent general practitioners, radiologists and 
a range of other healthcare professionals, enabling them in turn to deliver care to their patients in partnership with the Group’s 
pathologists, nurses and other employees.

Review and results of operations
A review of the operations of the Group during the year, and the results of those operations, appears on pages 16–29 of this Report. 

Events after the end of the year
Refer to Note A4 to the Financial Statements on page 90 of this Report for details on the subsequent events relating to the 
FY 2003–2007 tax case.

As at the date of this Report, there has not been any other matter or circumstance which has arisen since the end of the year 
which, in the opinion of the Directors, has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results 
of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years. 

Future developments
Apart from the information provided in the Chair’s letter in the Going Forward section on page 15 of this Report, disclosure 
of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the Group in future financial years (including the Group’s business 
strategies) and the expected results of those operations other than that disclosed in this Report is likely to result in unreasonable 
prejudice to the Group. Accordingly, no further information is included in this Report.

Proceedings on behalf of the Company
There are no proceedings brought or intervened in, or applications to bring or intervene in proceedings, on behalf of the Company 
by a member or other person entitled to do so under section 237 of the Corporations Act.

Rounding of amounts
The Company is an entity of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Report) Instrument 2016/191, 
dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Instrument, amounts in this Report and the Financial Report are rounded off 
to the nearest hundred thousand dollars, or where the amount is $500,000 or less, zero in accordance with that Instrument.

Directors’ Reportfor the year ended 30 June 2020Dividends
During FY 2020, the FY 2019 final dividend of 3.4 cents per share (100% franked) was paid to the holders of fully paid ordinary shares 
on 27 September 2019. 

In respect of FY 2020 an interim dividend of 2.6 cents per share (100% franked), is to be paid to the holders of fully paid ordinary shares 
on 15 October 2020.

Healius operates a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and a Bonus Share Plan (BSP). These plans were suspended effective 
close of business on 16 February 2016 until further notice and consequently no shares were issued in FY 2020 under either the DRP 
or the BSP. 

Shares under option
Options are held by employees of the Group. Details of all unissued ordinary shares of Healius under option at the date of this 
Report are set out below. No option holder has any right under the options to participate in any other share issue of Healius 
or of any other entity.

Shares issued on the exercise of options
No ordinary shares of Healius were issued during, or since the end of, FY 2020 on the exercise of options. 

Indemnification of officers and auditors
Subject to the following, no insurance premium was paid during or since the end of FY 2020 for a person who is or has been 
an officer or auditor of the Group.

During the year, Healius paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the Directors and Executive Officers of Healius and 
of any related body corporate, against liability incurred that is permitted to be covered by section 199B of the Corporations Act. 
It is a condition of the insurance contract that its limits of indemnity, the nature of the liability indemnified, and the amount of the 
premium, not be disclosed. 

The Constitution of Healius provides that each officer of Healius must be indemnified by Healius against any liability incurred 
by that person in that capacity. However, Healius must not indemnify that person if to do so would be prohibited by section 199A 
of the Corporations Act, any other statutory provision, or judge‑made law. Pursuant to this requirement, each Director of Healius 
is party to Deeds of Indemnity, Board Papers Inspection and D&O Coverage, which provide for indemnity against liability 
as a Director, except to the extent of indemnity under an insurance policy or where prohibited by statute. 

To the extent permitted by law, Healius has agreed to indemnify its auditor, Ernst & Young (Australia) (EY), as part of the terms of its 
audit engagement agreement, against claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). No payment has 
been made to indemnify EY during or since FY 2020. 

Healius has not otherwise, during or since the end of FY 2020, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of Healius 
or any related body corporate against a liability as such an officer or auditor. 

Past employment with external auditor
There is no person who has acted as an officer of the Group during the year who has previously been a partner at EY when that firm 
conducted Healius’ audit.

Non‑audit services
During the year EY performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties as auditor.

The Audit Committee reviews the non‑audit services performed by the auditor on a case‑by‑case basis. In accordance with 
advice received from the Audit Committee, the Directors are satisfied that the provision of these non‑audit services by the auditor 
(or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence 
requirements of the Corporations Act. The Directors are so satisfied because the Audit Committee or its delegate has assessed 
each service, having regard to auditor independence requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations, and concluded 
in respect of each non‑audit service or type of non‑audit service that the provision of that service or type of service would not 
impair the auditor’s independence.

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act is included in this Report. 
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor of the Group for audit and non‑audit services provided during the year are given 
in Note E9 on page 118 of this Report.

Directors’ Reportfor the year ended 30 June 2020Healius – Annual Report 2020DIRECTORS’ REPORTManagement of safety risks
Healius is committed to ensuring that the health and safety of employees, contractors and all people attending Healius’ facilities 
is given the highest priority. Healius’ goal is to continually improve the safety environment for our employees, contractors and 
patients. Healius’ Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) performance is constantly monitored through the setting of targets 
against which actual performance is measured, and this performance is reported via regular monthly reports being provided 
to senior management, monthly WHS Dashboard provided to the Board and quarterly performance reporting to the Board. 
WHS is incorporated into business planning, purchasing and contracting policies and the design of workplaces. 

In order to improve Healius’ health and safety performance, resources are allocated to the maintenance and improvement of the 
WHS management system. Professional health and safety staff work very closely with the Employee Representative Committees 
which have been established over a number of years in order to incorporate employee representation and consultation into 
health and safety initiatives as well as a forum for disseminating information to improve health and safety across all business units. 
During FY 2020 there was a detailed review of the resources devoted to the management of the WHS Systems to ensure resourcing 
remains appropriate to the requirements of operations. 

Healius recognises our responsibilities to contractors. As part of our health and safety procedures, contractors are required 
to provide evidence that they have WHS management systems in place and the Company has monitoring procedures in place 
for addressing any health and safety issues that may arise from contractor performance. Workplace induction is provided 
to contractors prior to the commencement of any work through our online Contractor Induction Program. 

Key health and safety performance indicators are as follows:

For FY 2020, all incidents were investigated and there was no systematic breakdown in the WHS Management System. 

Healius has a comprehensive program of health and safety internal audits that are conducted during the course of the year. Audit 
findings may be either areas of nonconformance with WHS procedures or be areas for improvement. All findings are discussed with 
auditees before being finalised. The final reports are presented to senior management and include the findings, recommendations 
to address findings, persons responsible for implementation of recommendations and timeframes for implementation.

Training in health and safety is provided to staff at induction to ensure staff perform their duties safely. There is an established 
training program that provides regular training, refresher training and information. Further training is provided when specific issues 
are identified through regular workplace supervision, hazard reporting and risk assessment. 

Healius is self‑insured for workers’ compensation in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. Healius underwrites workers 
compensation claims in these States, with re‑insurance policies in place in each of these States to provide protection against large 
cost claims. In the other States and territories Healius holds insurance policies for workers compensation. 

Healius makes available to its people information on: Rights, Responsibilities and Obligations; Making a Claim; and Complaints 
Handling Procedures in relation to claims. As part of its management of claims, accounting provisions are recognised based 
on claims reported; and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. These provisions are determined on a discounted 
basis and having regard to actuarial valuations. Reporting on current claims and provisions is made to senior management 
and to the Board. 

Healius is engaged in continuous improvement to raise health and safety standards. During the year, there was a comprehensive 
review of occupational violence events and a detailed root cause analysis of manual handling incidents. In FY 2021 Healius 
is planning a number of strategic projects including a review of WHS resource allocation following the refocusing of the Group 
on pathology, imaging and day hospitals. 

Environmental regulation
The operations of the Group are not subject to any site‑specific environmental licences or permits which would constitute 
particular or significant environmental regulation under the laws of the Australian Government or an Australian Territory. 

Healius, through its internal policy and processes, is committed to managing operations in an environmentally sustainable manner 
to maximise resource efficiency in relation to the consumption of energy and natural resources and minimise waste.

Healius – Annual Report 2020DIRECTORS’ REPORT1. 

 Letter from the Chair of the People & Governance Committee

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of your Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 
(FY 2020). This report details the remuneration framework and outcomes for Healius’ Key Management Personnel (KMP) in FY 2020.

The remuneration framework aims to ensure that Total Remuneration Packages (TRP) of our executive KMP are linked to shareholder 
value. The link is achieved through the variable elements of TRPs with potential Short‑Term Incentive (STI) and Long‑Term Incentive 
(LTI) awards deemed “at risk” and dependent upon performance.

Additionally, the remuneration framework takes into account a more holistic view of KMP performance including promulgation 
of Company values and risk management. This is done through a balanced scorecard tailored for each KMP.

FY 2020 has seen significant challenges for Healius in meeting the healthcare needs of the Australian community. The COVID‑19 
pandemic has presented, and continues to present, unprecedented difficulties. In our frontline role Healius’ people (including the 
Directors and the executive KMP) have risen to this challenge and have made sacrifices, including through pay cuts and leave 
management programs, in order to assure the continued operations and viability of the Company. Sacrifices have also been made 
by the Company’s shareholders, with no FY 2020 final dividend paid, and by governments state and federal, with a Commonwealth 
Government Grant agreement benefiting our Pathology division, a number of Montserrat day hospitals receiving JobKeeper and 
various state government viability agreements assisting the Healius Day Hospitals business. 

In light of these sacrifices, the Board determined that no STI Awards under the format and targets agreed at the beginning of FY 2020 
would be made to executive KMP or to other Senior Executives. 

FY 2020 also saw Healius’ shareholders approve the new Transformation Long‑Term Incentive Plan (TLTIP) at the 2019 Annual 
General Meeting. At a time when consumers are increasingly demanding better ways to access healthcare services, we are striving 
to create a substantial improvement in our value proposition to put us at the forefront of healthcare in the Australian community 
and deliver sustainable long‑term shareholder returns. As a result, we are in a period of significant strategic change. The Board 
determined to simplify the Healius portfolio by placing the Healius Primary Care business on the market, with the sale announced 
on 15 June 2020 and the completion of that sale in progress at the time of writing. The sale proceeds will give the Company 
greater flexibility to invest in its existing businesses, through margin improvement, evolutionary change and acquisitions. The TLTIP 
provides the Board with effective tools to incentivise management to drive this strategic change. You can find details of the TLTIP 
at Section 4.5 of this Report. 

We have again produced a simplified Remuneration Report for FY 2020, aiming to make it easy to understand and readable. 
It includes a summary of key decisions and outcomes for FY 2020 at Section 2 and a non‑statutory table of what each of the 
executive KMP was awarded and paid this year at Section 4.2. Apart from the information in this Report, you can find further details 
of Healius’ remuneration framework on our website.

As Chair of the People & Governance Committee I thank you for your ongoing support. I hope you will continue to support us by voting 
to adopt this Remuneration Report at our upcoming 2020 Annual General Meeting.

Yours sincerely

Sally Evans 
Independent Non‑executive Director

Key decisions and outcomes in FY 2020

Current 
Executive KMP

•  Malcolm Parmenter

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) 

•  Maxine Jaquet

Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (from 19 August 2019) (previously Chief Executive Health & Co)

• 

John McKechnie

Chief Executive Pathology (from 19 August 2019)

•  Dean Lewsam

Chief Executive Imaging

Base pay/fees

•  Annual review of base pay resulted in no across‑the‑board increases in executive KMP base pay for FY 2020.
•  Maxine Jaquet and John McKechnie were awarded base pay increases on appointment to their new roles.
•  Dean Lewsam was awarded an increase to align to the other divisional Chief Executives and within 

market comparability.

•  During the COVID‑19 pandemic, from late March 2020 to the end of FY 2020, executive KMP undertook 
an effective 20% pay reduction (30% reduction for the CEO) through cuts to their base pay and agreed 
annual leave adjustments. 

Short Term 
Incentives (STI)

Long Term 
Incentives (LTI)

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

In FY 2020 the Board decided that no STI, under the format and targets agreed at the beginning of the year, 
would be awarded to executive KMP, in view of the Company’s annual performance and the sacrifices made 
by various other stakeholders to ensure the continued operations and viability of the Company during the 
COVID‑19 pandemic.
In connection with the introduction of the TLTIP (see below), the Board shifted 25% of STI potential for executive 
KMP into long‑term incentive potential, for STI awards in future years.
In addition, the Board changed the cash/equity split of executive KMP STI awards from 75% cash/25% equity 
(with half the equity component deferred for one year and half deferred for two years) to two‑thirds cash/
one‑third equity (with all the equity component deferred for one year).

The FY 2018 LTI was tested as at 30 June 2020. None of the Performance Rights vested as neither criterion, 
being Healius’ relative total shareholder return measured against a comparator group (rTSR) and cumulative 
returns on invested capital (ROIC), was met.
Following approval at last year’s AGM, the Board adopted the Transformation Long‑Term Incentive Plan (TLTIP) 
for FY 2020 – FY 2022 inclusive. 
The principal improvements in this equity‑based plan are:
 ‑

 long‑term value creation is prioritised by moving 25% of the existing potential STI award potential 
(at budgeted performance levels) into the long‑term plan. This includes increasing the portion moved 
by 1.2 times dollar value reflecting the longer‑dated and riskier nature of a Long‑Term Incentive (LTI) award;
the grant of Options (rather than Performance Rights) in order to reward participants for the growth 
potential in the Company’s share price and thereby strengthen their alignment to shareholders’ interests;

 ‑

 ‑

 ‑ a one‑off grant of Options, rather than annual grants, to cover a three‑year period from FY 2020 with 
Options exercisable in equal tranches at the end of FY 2022, FY 2023 and FY 2024. This one‑off grant 
creates more incentive for participants and enables the length of the TLTIP to be extended to align with 
the longer‑dated timeframe of the strategy; and
the exercise of Options to be subject to cumulative underlying Earnings per Share (EPS) growth and 
relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR) for the CEO and CFO (split 2/3 to 1/3 between EPS growth and 
rTSR) to ensure a measurable and close alignment to shareholder returns. For the divisional CEOs, 
a divisional underlying Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) growth target has been added to increase 
their motivation through a directly controllable metric (with the split 40%/20%/40% between EPS growth, 
rTSR and EBIT growth).

Setting Senior Executive remuneration
OVERVIEW OF THE DESIGN

Total Remuneration Package (TRP)

• 
Support the business strategy and reinforce Healius’ Purpose, Mission and Values.
•  Attract, reward and retain high calibre Senior Executives including executive KMP.
•  Align the rewards of these executives to performance and sustained shareholder value.

Base Package

• 

• 

• 

49% of TRP at 
Target/Mid‑point 
(46% for CEO and CFO).
Externally 
benchmarked against 
relevant comparator 
companies.
Set around the 
mid‑point at which 
50% of relevant 
comparator 
companies lie below.

•  Annually reviewed 
re: competency, 
responsibilities 
and performance.

•  Management of 

exceptions, for 
example when 
particular talent needs 
to be retained or there 
is an individual with 
unique expertise who 
needs to be acquired.

Variable Pay 
Short‑term Incentives (STI) and Long‑term Incentives (LTI)

• 
• 

51% of TRP at Target/Mid‑point “at risk” (54% for CEO and CFO).
Links executive reward to Company performance and shareholder value, while balancing 
current year results and cash flow with longer‑term value creation.

•  Creates executive KMP equity ownership with one‑third of STIs and 100% of LTIs granted in equity.
•  Delivers returns over an extended period with STI equity deferred for one year and LTI equity 

• 

measured after at least three years.
Some financial metrics determined against scalable measures of Threshold or Entry 
(80% probability of achievement), Target or Mid‑point (50%–60% probability) and Stretch 
or Maximum (10%–20% probability). Scalability incentivises Senior Executives to continue 
to outperform when a lower goal has been achieved.

•  Comprises deferred equity in the

3.2.1 

NOTABLE COMPONENTS

 Link between Senior Executive remuneration 
and Company performance

The remuneration of Senior Executives is designed to link 
executive reward and Company performance, balancing 
current year performance with longer‑term sustained value 
creation. The link is achieved through the at‑risk pay elements 
of an executive’s package which represent 50% or more 
of total remuneration (at Target or Mid‑point levels). 

Healius’ STI plan is not a guaranteed part of executive KMP 
remuneration. Indeed, in FY 2020 the CEO recommended and 
the Board concurred that no STI would be awarded under 
the format and targets agreed at the beginning of the year 
in view of the sacrifices made by various stakeholders to ensure 
Healius’ ongoing operations and viability during the COVID‑19 
pandemic and in view of the Company not meeting its targeted 
Underlying Net Profit After Tax (UNPAT) due to the impacts 
of COVID‑19.

No LTI Rights vested in FY 2020 relating to the FY 2018 year, 
as the performance targets for the three‑year measurement 
period were not met.

3.2.2  Multi‑year vesting of equity
Rights and Options granted in a given year as part of STI and 
LTI awards will not vest, if at all, until later. STI equity is deferred 
for one year and LTI Options are measured and vest after three, 
four or five years and then only if targets are met. Shares are 
issued at the start of the next financial year. The rolling nature 
of remuneration payments encourages executive retention.

Directors’ Reportfor the year ended 30 June 2020Positive gate for rTSR

3.2.3 
In order to align remuneration with shareholder outcomes, 
a positive TSR gate applies to the vesting of LTI relating 
to Healius’ TSR performance against its comparator group. 
No award can be made if Healius’ TSR over the measurement 
period is zero or negative, even if Healius has performed better 
than the comparator group.

Clawback provisions for STIs and LTIs
3.2.4 
Payments or vesting related to STI and LTI in the prior three 
financial years are subject to Healius’ clawback policy 
if it transpires that they were based on materially incorrect 
performance information or that actions taken by the relevant 
Senior Executive to secure a benefit were, are or will be 
detrimental to the best interests of Healius.

3.2.5 

 Stretch or Maximum performance target for STIs 
and LTIs

Where a Stretch or Maximum performance target is included 
in an STI or LTI assessment criteria, it generally has only 
10%–20% probability of achievement and is intended to equate 
to exceptional performance. It creates an incentive for Senior 
Executives to continue to outperform even when the Target 
or Mid‑point level of performance has been achieved.

The 10–20% probability a Maximum award is particularly 
important to understand in connection with the issue of LTI 
Options. These are issued at Maximum amounts even though 
the probability that the full amount will eventually vest is low.

Comparator group for rTSR

3.2.6 
As part of the introduction of the TLTIP, the rTSR comparator 
group was reviewed and updated. The group has been 
extended from 21 to 36, removing previous companies 
which were not considered comparable, and including 

non‑healthcare companies from the ASX 51–150 in order 
to better reflect comparable market capitalisation, growth 
profiles, consumer surrogates and investment substitutes.

The comparator group was selected from companies listed 
on the ASX, with assistance from external remuneration 
consultants and using the following broad parameters:
•  Be broadly defined to avoid “cherry‑picking”.
•  Be large enough to produce valid statistics and small 

• 

• 

enough to be reasonably specific.
Include direct competitors for capital, talent or market 
share of comparable scale.
Include companies from the healthcare sector 
of comparable scale where direct competitors are 
not sufficient.

•  Be sufficiently liquid to ensure that TSR results are reliable.
•  Be balanced in terms of market capitalisation between 

smaller and larger companies.

3.2.7 

 Limitation of variance between statutory 
and underlying results 

Underlying earnings are to be used in the measurement 
of EPS growth and EBIT, rather than statutory earnings, 
to ensure management do not benefit from a lower starting 
point for statutory earnings than underlying earnings in FY 2019 
and hence a higher delta over time. In order to provide 
confidence on adjustments between underlying and statutory 
results, such adjustments from FY 2022 onwards are limited 
to the implementation costs of the Laboratory Platforms 
in Pathology and no others. All earnings targets will also 
be adjusted to ensure valid comparisons year‑on‑year, 
for example earnings will be adjusted for the effect of AASB 16 
on performance.

REMUNERATION 

Guide to using the Table

1  Column 14 is the total remuneration paid or awarded for FY 2020 performance to the relevant KMP (with FY 2019 comparison), some of which 
may be paid in future periods. It is the sum of columns 5 and 7. While the number of Options granted in FY 2020 under Healius’ TLTIP is set out 
in section 5.2 of this Report, the value of vested and exercised Options (if any) relating to the FY 2020 TLTIP award will not be known until the relevant 
measurement periods end at the close of each of FY 2022, FY 2023 and FY 2024 and the applicable performance criteria are tested. Consequently, 
no amount is included in this table for FY 2020 LTI. 

2  Column 15 is the total remuneration received during FY 2020 by the relevant KMP (with FY 2019 comparison), some of which relates to past 
periods. It is the sum of columns 5, 9, 10, 12 and 13. Where part of these amounts involve the valuation of vested Rights, the dollar value 
is calculated based on the closing Share price on the day that Shares are issued for the vested Rights (not applicable in FY 2020).

1  Column 14 is the total remuneration paid or awarded for FY 2020 performance to the relevant KMP (with FY 2019 comparison), some of which 

may be paid in future periods. It is the sum of columns 5 and 7. While the number of Options granted in FY 2020 under Healius’ TLTIP is set out 

in section 5.2 of this Report, the value of vested and exercised Options (if any) relating to the FY 2020 TLTIP award will not be known until the relevant 

measurement periods end at the close of each of FY 2022, FY 2023 and FY 2024 and the applicable performance criteria are tested. Consequently, 

no amount is included in this table for FY 2020 LTI. 

2  Column 15 is the total remuneration received during FY 2020 by the relevant KMP (with FY 2019 comparison), some of which relates to past 

periods. It is the sum of columns 5, 9, 10, 12 and 13. Where part of these amounts involve the valuation of vested Rights, the dollar value 

is calculated based on the closing Share price on the day that Shares are issued for the vested Rights (not applicable in FY 2020).

Notes

1  Column 4. Base Package and target amounts are shown on an annual basis. As John McKechnie commenced during FY 2020 these amounts 

were not paid in full in FY 2020. Column 5 shows the pro‑rata amount actually paid in FY 2020.

2  Column 4. The annual base package for Maxine Jaquet increased to $725,000 effective 19 August 2019 (on her appointment as CFO). Column 5 
shows the actual amount paid in FY 2020 which includes the period 1 July 2019 to 19 August 2019 when she was being paid at her previous salary.

3  Column 5. This column has been adjusted to account for cash salary reductions and annual leave adjustments agreed with the relevant 

executive KMP as part of the Company’s response to the COVID‑19 pandemic. 

4  Column 6. Stretch STI may exceed Target STI depending on the criteria set by the Board from year to year (not applicable in FY 2020 or FY 2019).
5  Columns 7–10. Zero STI was awarded to KMP in relation to FY 2020 and FY 2019.
6  Column 11. The target LTI Amount represents the mid‑point TLTIP Award for one year’s worth of LTI. Maximum LTI is up to 200% of Mid‑point LTI. 
7  Column 13. The amount included for Malcolm Ashcroft in FY 2019 is for the vesting of a sign on arrangement dating from 12 September 2016. 

The amount was paid by way of the issue of 68,681 ordinary Shares in the Company on 13 July 2018 at a price of $3.435 per Share (closing price 
on that date).

Directors’ Reportfor the year ended 30 June 2020Healius – Annual Report 2020DIRECTORS’ REPORTEXECUTIVE KMP – BASE PACKAGE OUTCOMES FOR FY 2020 

4.3 
The annual review of pay resulted in no across‑the‑board increases in executive KMP base pay for FY 2020. Dean Lewsam was 
awarded a base pay increase to align to the other divisional Chief Executives and within market comparability. Maxine Jaquet 
and John McKechnie were awarded base pay increases on appointment to their new roles.

During the COVID‑19 pandemic, the executive KMP accepted an effective 20% pay reduction (30% for the CEO) through cuts 
to their base pay and agreed annual leave adjustments.

EXECUTIVE KMP – STI OPPORTUNITY AND RATIONALE FOR FY 2020 AND FY 2020 OUTCOMES

4.4 
Healius’ STI plan is at‑risk remuneration and is not a guaranteed part of executive KMP remuneration.

In FY 2020, the CEO recommended and the Board concurred that no STI would be awarded under the format and targets agreed at the 
beginning of the year, in view of the Company not meeting its targeted UNPAT and in view of the sacrifices made by other stakeholders.

Executive KMP STI outcomes are measured against an individual’s balanced scorecard which includes financial, non‑financial and 
behavioural KPIs, and takes an holistic view of performance, strategic implementation, culture and risk management.

Group and Divisional UNPAT and Group Cash Flow

4.4.1 
Group and divisional UNPAT and Group cash flow were selected by the Board as being the most appropriate method of measuring 
the Company’s FY 2020 financial performance. These measures typically accounted for around 70% of an executive KMP’s potential 
STI award. 

As for the FY 2019 STI plan, Healius incorporated Threshold, Target and Stretch goals into the UNPAT metrics, in order to incentivise 
Senior Executives to continue to achieve once a lower goal had been achieved.

Role‑specific strategic objectives

4.4.2 
Role‑specific strategic objectives ensure KMP are measured and rewarded for initiatives over which they have responsibility, 
which contribute directly to the Company’s strategic plan and which aim to deliver increased shareholder value. They are focused 
on specific KPIs that are both measurable and tied directly to the Group’s strategy and they have been set to be sufficiently 
challenging to each member of the KMP. These typically account for around 30% of an executive KMP’s potential STI award.

Leadership behavioural KPIs

4.4.3 
As for the FY 2018 and FY 2019 STI plans, Healius’ Purpose, Mission and Values continued to underscore these KPIs in the FY 2020 STI 
plan. For the FY 2020 STI plan, as for FY 2019, leadership behaviours were not ascribed a specific percentage of an executive KMP’s 
STI award, but rather were a modifier for the whole STI award. This included the Board’s retained discretion (not exercised) to modify 
an otherwise 100% award to zero in the case of poor leadership behaviours. 

As no STI remuneration was awarded to executive KMP for FY 2019 or FY 2020, detailed STI targets, including the balanced 
scorecards, are not set out below. They will be reinstated in future Annual Reports if STIs are awarded by the Board.

4.5 

EXECUTIVE KMP – LTI OPPORTUNITY AND RATIONALE FOR FY 2020

Measurement period for FY 2020 LTI awards

4.5.1 
LTI awards relating to FY 2020 are subject to the new Transformation Long‑Term Incentive Plan (TLTIP). Options vest after 
a three‑to‑five year measurement period. 

For Senior Executives in FY 2020, a three‑year grant of Options was made; one third will be assessed after 30 June 2022, one third 
after 30 June 2023 and one third after 30 June 2024. No annual grant of Options will be made to these Senior Executives in FY 2021 
or FY 2022. This one‑off grant creates more incentive for participants and enables the length of the TLTIP to be extended to align 
with the longer‑dated timeframe of the Company’s strategy.

Under the TLTIP, Healius issues Options for LTI awards to executive KMP and Senior Executives. These Options will not vest and 
become exercisable unless and until:
• 
• 
• 

the relevant predetermined measurement period set by the Board ends;
the Company’s performance is assessed against performance criteria; and
the level of vesting is determined by the Board based on the Company’s performance.

rTSR, underlying EPS growth and divisional underlying EBIT growth criteria for FY 2020 LTI awards

4.5.2 
LTI awards for executive KMP will be determined using the following criteria:
• 
• 
• 

40% based on Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in underlying Earnings Per Share (EPS) (66.7% for the CEO and CFO);
20% based on relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR) (33.3% for the CEO and CFO); and
40% based on the underlying Earnings Before Interest and Taxation (EBIT) of the relevant executive KMP’s business division 
(not applicable to CEO and CFO). 

Underlying earnings are to be used in the measurement of EPS growth and EBIT, rather than statutory earnings, to ensure 
management do not benefit from a lower starting point for statutory earnings than underlying earnings in FY 2019 and hence 
a higher change over time. In order to provide confidence on adjustments between underlying and statutory results, such 
adjustments from FY 2022 onwards will be limited to the implementation costs of the Laboratory Platforms in Pathology 
and no others. All earnings targets will also be adjusted to ensure valid comparisons year‑on‑year, for example earnings 
will be adjusted for the effect of AASB 16 on performance.

50

Directors’ Reportfor the year ended 30 June 2020rTSR was selected by the Board to motivate Senior Executives to drive returns which outperform those of comparable companies 
and thereby make Healius a superior investment. rTSR is calculated as follows:

TSR

Share price movement + dividends (14‑day Volume Weighted Average Price).

Comparator Group

See table in 8.3.

Linear vesting scale

Below Entry performance, none of the 
relevant Options become exercisable.

50% of Options become exercisable at Entry, 
being point at which 50% of comparator 
group lie below.

Positive Gate

Nil award if Healius’ TSR is zero or negative.

100% of Options become exercisable at 
or above Maximum, being point at which 
75% of comparator group lie below.

Between Entry and Maximum performance, 
relevant Options become exercisable 
on a linear scale between 50% and 100%.

Underlying EPS was selected by the Board to ensure a measurable and close alignment to shareholder returns. 

Underlying EPS

Underlying Net Profit After Tax/Number of ordinary shares on issue.

Performance 
conditions

The following targets for Compound 
Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in underlying 
EPS have been set:

•  Between Entry and Mid‑point performance, 

relevant Options become exercisable 
on a linear scale between 25% and 50%.

Entry: 4%  Mid‑point: 7%  Maximum: 10%

•  Below Entry performance, none of the 
relevant Options become exercisable.

•  At Entry performance, 25% of the 

relevant Options become exercisable.

•  At Mid‑point performance, 50% of the relevant 

Options become exercisable.

•  Between Mid‑point and Maximum performance, 

relevant Options become exercisable 
on a linear scale between 50% and 100%.

•  At or above Maximum performance, 100% 

of the relevant Options become exercisable.

From FY 2022 onwards, the only adjustment allowed (for TLTIP assessment purposes) between 
statutory and underlying performance is the costs of the Laboratory Platforms in Pathology. 

Gate Limiting condition 
on Underlying 
Performance

Divisional Underlying EBIT was selected by the Board to incentivise ongoing earnings growth over a sustained period. 

The divisional underlying EBIT performance conditions are set by the Board as part of the Company’s budgeting process. 
The prospective disclosure of these targets will not be made as it is commercially sensitive. For the purposes of awards under 
the TLTIP, the Board’s target‑setting process ensures that divisional Chief Executives (and other TLTIP participants to whom 
EBIT growth Performance Conditions are assigned) are rewarded only for consistently achieving EBIT growth within their division.

As with the underlying EPS performance condition, adjustments between underlying and statutory results from FY 2022 onwards will 
be limited to the implementation costs of the Laboratory Platforms in Pathology. All earnings targets will also be adjusted to ensure 
valid comparisons year‑on‑year, for example earnings will be adjusted for the effect of AASB 16 on performance.

EXECUTIVE KMP – LTI OUTCOME FOR FY 2018

4.6 
The measurement period for FY 2018 LTI awards was FY 2018–FY 2020. The LTI performance criteria set by the Board for FY 2018 
and Healius’ results for FY 2018–FY 2020 inclusive, are set out in the following table:

 EXECUTIVE KMP – SERVICE AND PERFORMANCE RIGHTS AND OPTIONS AWARDED, VESTED AND 
LAPSED DURING FY 2020

FY 2020 equity awards to executive KMP can made in the form of Service Rights or Options. Executive KMP also hold Performance 
Rights from the previous LTI Plan, and during FY 2020 received Shares on vesting of FY 2017 and FY 2018 STI Service Rights.
1 

Service Rights are used for the equity portion of STI awards and, once issued, are subject to the relevant Senior Executive 
remaining employed by Healius for a predetermined period; at the end of which the Service Rights vest and one ordinary 
share is issued for each vested Right. 100% of the Service Rights vest after one year. A Service Right is used for the equity 
portion of the STI award in order to enable deferral of a portion of the STI award to promote Senior Executive retention. 

2  Options are used for LTI awards to Senior Executives under the TLTIP and, once issued, are subject to various predetermined 
performance criteria being met by the Company over the measurement period. At the end of the measurement period, if the 
Board determines that the performance criteria have been met, the Options vest, that is, become exercisable (in a proportion 
determined by the Board) and, on payment of the Exercise Price, one ordinary Share is issued for each vested Option. If the 
performance criteria have not been met then the Options lapse and no Shares are issued. 

3  Performance Rights are used for LTI awards to Senior Executives under the previous LTI Plan and once issued, are subject 

to various predetermined performance criteria being met by the Company over the measurement period. At the end of the 
measurement period, if the Board determines that the performance criteria have been met, the Performance Rights vest and 
one ordinary share is issued for each vested Right. If the performance criteria have not been met then the Rights lapse and 
no shares are issued.

Service Rights and Performance Rights are granted for nil monetary consideration and do not have an exercise price. Options are 
granted for nil monetary consideration. Each type of security is issued by Healius Limited.

Directors’ Reportfor the year ended 30 June 2020Non‑executive Directors (NEDs)
NON‑EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION POLICY

6 
6.1 
The NED Remuneration Policy, which applies to NEDs of the Company in their capacity as Directors, can be found at 
https://www.healius.com.au/about‑us/corporate‑governance/ . It includes details on Board fees, committee fees, superannuation, 
other benefits, and securities (if issued). Key points include:
• 
•  Board fees are externally benchmarked against relevant comparator companies.
•  Board fees, including superannuation, are set around the point at which 50% of relevant comparator companies lie below.
•  NEDs are required by Healius’ Constitution to retire by rotation at least every three years and may, if they wish to do so, 

The aggregate annual fee limit for NED remuneration is $1.4 million, as approved by shareholders in 2008.

stand for re‑election. A third of NEDs on the Board (other than casual appointees and alternate Directors) must also retire 
at each AGM.

•  With effect from 1 July 2020, the Board adopted a NED Equity Holding Policy requiring each current and new NED to hold Healius 
Shares to the value of one year’s annual fees (assessed at the time of purchase), with the holding to be in place by the later 
of 30 June 2025 or 5 years after the date of the relevant NED’s appointment. Application of an Equity Holding Policy to Executive 
KMP remains under consideration by the Board. 

•  A NED Equity Plan, under which NEDs are able to salary sacrifice fees for Shares in the Company, was approved by shareholders 
at the Company’s 2019 AGM and is in the process of implementation. The Plan will assist NEDs in acquiring more Shares in the 
Company, thereby increasing NED alignment with shareholders.

SENIOR EXECUTIVE SHORT‑TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (STIP) DETAILS

KEY TERM

Period

Eligibility

Plan gate and 
Board discretion

SUMMARY OF KEY TERM

1 July 2019–30 June 2020 inclusive.

Senior Executives and other persons approved by the Board. NEDs are not eligible to participate.

The Board retains the discretion to either abandon the plan or modify outcomes to ensure that 
they are appropriate given the circumstances that have prevailed over the measurement period 
(this is intended to ensure alignment between performance and reward outcomes).

A specified “gate” condition may apply to offers of STI such that no award will be payable in relation 
to any KPI if the gate condition is not met or exceeded.

FY 2020 

No gate was specified by the Board.

FY 2021 invitations 

To be determined.

Termination  
of employment

If an STIP participant ceases to be an employee of the Healius Group, and the termination of their 
employment is in circumstances other than Special Circumstances (defined below), then all unvested 
Rights held by the participant will be forfeited and lapse unless and to the extent otherwise 
determined by the Board.

If an STIP participant’s termination is in Special Circumstances, then Service Rights granted 
under the STIP in the financial year of termination will be forfeited in the same proportion that 
the remainder of the financial year bears to the full financial year, unless otherwise determined 
by the Board.

Service Rights that do not lapse at the termination of employment will continue to be held 
by participants with a view to testing for vesting at the end of the relevant measurement period.

Special Circumstances means death, total and permanent disablement as determined by the 
Board, retirement with the prior consent of the Board, redundancy, retrenchment or other 
Company‑initiated terminations other than for cause.

terminate the STIP for the measurement period and pay pro‑rata awards based on the 
completed proportion of the measurement period and taking into account performance 
up to the date of the Change of Control; or
continue the STIP but make interim non‑refundable pro‑rata awards based on the completed 
proportion of the measurement period and taking into account performance up to the date 
of the Change of Control; or

• 

•  allow the STIP to continue.

In the absence of the Board exercising its discretion above, unvested STIP Service Rights 
immediately vest on at least a pro‑rata basis upon the Change of Control.

SENIOR EXECUTIVE TRANSFORMATION LONG‑TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (TLTIP) DETAILS

KEY TERM

Purpose

SUMMARY OF KEY TERM

The purpose of the TLTIP is to create a strong link between performance and reward by providing 
an at‑risk element of executive remuneration that focuses on performance over the strategic plan 
period, up to 5 years. The TLTIP aims to align management rewards with shareholder value, thereby 
incentivising management to deliver the Company’s current strategic plan.

Eligibility

Senior Executives and other persons approved by the Board. NEDs are not eligible to participate.

Potential annual award

For the CEO and CFO, 76% of Base Package (at Mid‑point level performance), equivalent to 35% 
of Total Potential Remuneration.

For other executive KMP, 65% of Base Package (at Mid‑point level performance), equivalent to 32% 
of Total Potential Remuneration.

Form of awards

Under the TLTIP, awards to executive KMP are made in the form of Options.

When calculating the number of Options to be issued, the fair market value of the Options 
will be calculated by an independent external accountant using standard methodologies 
(e.g. Black Scholes or Monte Carlo).

The number of Options issued is sufficient to satisfy “Maximum” level performance.

Exercise of Options

Any Option issued under the TLTIP is an option to purchase an ordinary Share of the Company 
on a specified future date (the Exercise Date) for a specified price (the Exercise Price).

If the Exercise Price on the Exercise Date exceeds the Company’s traded Share price on the 
Exercise Date, the Option is “in the money” and can be exercised and the issued Shares sold by the 
relevant participant for a profit. If the Exercise Price on the Exercise Date is less than or equal to the 
Company’s traded Share price on the Exercise Date, the Option is “out of the money” and will 
generally not be exercised (and so will lapse).

For FY 2020 Options, the Exercise Price is set by the Board at the standard volume weighted average 
price (VWAP) for the Company’s Shares for the 10 trading days following 1 July 2019 which was $3.05 
(the starting point for the measurement period, which covers FY 2020–FY 2024 inclusive).

The relevant TLTIP participant has the choice as to whether or not an Option is exercised on the 
Exercise Date.

Exercise of Options is also conditional on the Performance Conditions (see below) being satisfied.

The Board may also determine to deliver the difference in the Exercise Price of the Option and the 
Company’s market Share price on the Exercise Date as cash.

The Exercise Date Schedule for FY 2020 TLTIP Options is as follows:
• 

Tranche 1 (1/3 of the Options issued to the relevant participant) will be exercisable at the end 
of FY 2022;
Tranche 2 (1/3 of the Options issued to the relevant participant) will be exercisable at the end 
of FY 2023; and
Tranche 3 (1/3 of the Options issued to the relevant participant) will be exercisable at the end 
of FY 2024.

• 

• 

Expiry date of Options

The Options expire on the first to occur of:
(a)  3 March 2035; 
(b)   the Option lapsing in accordance with a provision of the TLTIP plan rules (including in accordance 

with a term of an offer under the TLTIP);

(c)   failure to meet a vesting condition or any other condition applicable to the Option within the 

vesting period; or

(d)   the receipt by the Company of a notice in writing from a participant to the effect that the 

participant has elected to surrender the Option.

The Board has determined to update the comparator group of companies used to assess rTSR. 
The comparator group has been extended from 21 to 36, removing previous companies which were 
not considered comparable, and including non‑healthcare companies from the ASX 51–150 in order 
to better reflect comparable market capitalisation, growth profiles, consumer surrogates and

Re‑testing

There is no re‑testing of Performance Conditions or deferral of the Exercise Date of Options.

Lapse and transferability

Any Option not exercised on the Exercise Date automatically lapses.

Termination of employment

Bonus issues, rights issues 
and capital reorganisation

Other than in limited circumstances, Options may not be disposed of, transferred or otherwise dealt 
with, and lapse immediately on a purported disposal, transfer or dealing. 

If a participant ceases to be an employee of the Company, and the termination of their employment 
is in circumstances other than Special Circumstances (defined below), then all unvested Options 
held by the participant will be forfeited and lapse unless and to the extent otherwise determined 
by the Board. If a participant’s termination is in Special Circumstances, then Options granted in the 
financial year of termination will be forfeited in the same proportion that the remainder of the 
financial year bears to the full financial year, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

Options that do not lapse at the termination of employment will continue to be held by participants 
with the same Performance Conditions, Exercise Date and Exercise Price.

Special Circumstances means death, total and permanent disablement as determined by the 
Board, retirement with the prior consent of the Board, redundancy, retrenchment or other 
Company‑initiated terminations other than for cause.

In cases of bonus Share issues by the Company, the number of Options held by a participant will 
be increased by the same number as the number of bonus Shares that would have been received 
by the participant had the Options been fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company (except in the 
case that the bonus Share issue is in lieu of a dividend payment, in which case no adjustment will 
apply). In the case of general rights issues to shareholders there will be no adjustment to Options. 
In the case of an issue of rights other than to the Company’s shareholders, there will be no adjustment 
to Options.

In the case of other capital reconstructions, the Board may make such adjustments to Options 
as it considers appropriate.

Directors’ Reportfor the year ended 30 June 2020KEY TERM

SUMMARY OF KEY TERM

Change of Control 
including takeover

A Change of Control occurs when the Board advises participants that one or more persons acting 
in concert have acquired, or are likely to imminently acquire “control” of the Company as defined 
in section 50AA of the Corporations Act.

In the event of a Change of Control of the Company, the Board has discretion to determine that 
vesting of all or some of the Options should be accelerated. If a Change of Control occurs before 
the Board has exercised its discretion, a pro rata portion of Options will vest, calculated based 
on the portion of the relevant performance period that has elapsed up to the Change of Control, 
and the Board retains a discretion to determine if the remaining Options will vest or lapse.

Amendment

The Board may amend or terminate the TLTIP at any time provided that the rights of participants 
to awards earned prior to the amendment or termination are not affected, unless otherwise agreed 
in writing by the participants.

8.4 

REMUNERATION‑RELATED POLICIES

KEY TERM

SUMMARY OF KEY TERM

Securities Trading Policy

KMP may only trade during a “trading window” (with some limited exceptions as set out in the 
policy). The following periods in a calendar year are “trading windows”, unless otherwise determined 
by the Board:
• 

Four weeks commencing one trading day after the day of release of the Appendix 4D 
(half‑year report), typically in mid‑February.
Four weeks commencing one trading day after the day of release of the Appendix 4E 
(preliminary final report), typically in late August.
Four weeks commencing one trading day after the day of Healius’ Annual General Meeting, 
typically in late October or November.
The duration of the offer period for an offer of securities made pursuant to a prospectus 
or cleansing statement.

• 

• 

• 

•  Any other period declared by the Board in its discretion to be a trading window.

Equity Holding Policy

Healius does not currently have an equity holding policy applicable to KMP; the adoption of such 
a policy remains under consideration by the Board.

Executive Remuneration 
Consultant Policy and 
Payments

•  Healius’ policy requires that Executive Remuneration Consultants (ERCs) are approved and 

engaged by the Board before any advice is received. This policy enables the Board to state 
whether or not the advice received from ERCs has been independent and why. Interactions 
between management and the ERC must be approved, and are supervised by the People 
& Governance Committee when appropriate.

•  During FY 2020, no KMP remuneration recommendations were provided to the Board by an ERC. 
•  Where KMP remuneration recommendations are received from an ERC, the Board can be satisfied 
that those KMP remuneration recommendations are free from undue influence from KMP to whom 
the recommendations related because:
 ‑

the Board is confident that the policy for engaging ERCs is being adhered to and is operating 
as intended;
the Board is closely involved in all dealings with ERCs; and
each KMP remuneration recommendation received is accompanied by a declaration from the 
ERC to the effect that their advice has been provided free from undue influence from the KMP 
to whom the recommendation relates.

 ‑
 ‑

During FY 2020, no KMP remuneration recommendations were provided to the Board by an ERC.

TRANSACTIONS WITH KMP

KEY TERM

SUMMARY OF KEY TERM

Transactions with 
current KMP

•  During the years ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 the Healius Group provided medical centre 
management services (Services) to Dr Paul F Jones Pty Ltd, a company controlled by Paul Jones, 
a Non‑executive Director of Healius. The Services were provided to Dr Jones’ general medical practice, 
which is conducted at one of Healius’ medical centres, on ordinary arm’s length terms. The Service 
fees received by the Group for FY 2020 were $96,839 (FY 2019: $131,330). This Service fee revenue was 
accounted for by Healius in the same way as revenue from other healthcare practices. There were 
no amounts payable or receivable as at 30 June 2020 (2019: nil) and the provision of the Services 
continues as at the date of this Report.
From time to time, KMPs (and their personally‑related entities) enter into transactions with the Healius 
Group, including the use or provision of services under normal customer, supplier or employee 
relationships. These transactions:
 ‑

occur within a normal employee, customer or supplier relationship on terms and conditions no more 
favourable than those which it is reasonable to expect the Group would have adopted if dealing 
at arm’s length with an unrelated person;

• 

 ‑ do not have the potential to adversely affect decisions about the allocation of scarce resources 

made by users of the financial report, or the discharge of accountability by the KMP; and

 ‑ are trivial or domestic in nature.

Loans to current KMP No loans have been made to any of the KMP or their related parties during FY 2020.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Healius Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Healius Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), 
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the 
year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the 
directors' declaration. 

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

a)

b)

giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2020 and of its 
consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and 

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards 
are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We 
are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of 
Ethics for Professional Accountants (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 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 
financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report 
as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each 
matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. 

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 
section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of 
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The 
results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis 
for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.

CARRYING VALUE OF GOODWILL 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As disclosed in Note B2 of the financial report 
and  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of 
Australian  Accounting  Standards,  the  Group 
performed  an  annual  impairment  test  of  all 
cash  generating  units  (CGUs)  where  goodwill 
was  allocated  to  determine  whether  the 
recoverable  value  of  each  CGU  exceeded  its 
carrying amount at 30 June 2020.  

A  fair  value  less  cost  of  disposal  model  was 
used  to  calculate  the  recoverable  amount  of 
each cash generating unit. 

This was considered a Key Audit Matter due to 
the materiality of the balance to the financial 
statements,  extent  of  audit  effort  and 
judgement 
the 
reasonableness  of  the  cash  flow  forecast, 
growth  rates,  discount  rates  and  terminal 
growth rates used by the Group in undertaking 
the impairment review. 

required 

assess 

to 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

► Assessed whether the impairment testing methodology used by the Group 

met the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.  

► Assessed the basis of preparing cash flow forecasts, considering the 

reliability of previous forecasts and budgets, current trading performance 
and the impact of COVID-19. 

► Assessed the appropriateness of other key assumptions such as the 

discount and growth rates applied with reference to publicly available 
information on comparable companies in the industry and markets in 
which the Group operates.  
Tested the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow models. 
Performed sensitivity analyses and evaluated whether a reasonably 
possible change in assumptions could cause the carrying amount of the 
cash generating unit to exceed its recoverable amount. 

►

►

► Assessed the implied EBITDA multiples as a cross‑check of the recoverable 
amount derived from the discounted cashflow models against a range 
from comparable companies and transactions. 

► We involved valuation specialists in performing these procedures. 
► Assessed the adequacy of the financial report disclosures contained in 

note B2. 

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE  

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As disclosed in Note E3, the Healius Primary 
Care business has been classified as held for 
sale. At this time the assets and liabilities of 
the business have been measured at fair 
value less costs to sell with an impairment 
loss recorded in the Consolidated Statement 
of Profit and Loss. 

The financial results of the Healius Primary 
Care business are presented as discontinued 
operations in the Consolidated Statement of 
Profit or Loss. 

This was considered a Key Audit Matter due 
to the significance of the Healius Primary 
Care business to the Group, the one-off 
nature of the transaction and the extent of 
audit effort to test the calculations and 
disclosures. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

►

►

►

Reviewed the executed sale agreement to understand the terms and 
conditions of the transaction and assessed whether the accounting 
treatment appropriately reflected the sale agreement.  
Recalculated the impairment loss recognised upon the classification of 
the assets and liabilities as held for sale by comparing their book value 
to their fair value.  
Reconciled the fair value to the sale price less expected completion 
adjustments and expected disposal costs. 

► Agreed the results from discontinued operations to the underlying 
financial records of the Healius Primary Care business and have 
assessed whether the comparative figures of the discontinued operation 
are appropriately classified. 
Evaluated the methodology applied by the Group to allocate goodwill 
between the Healius Primary Care business, IVF and Day Hospitals based 
on the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in 
the Company’s 2020 Annual Report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form 
of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. 

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 Group’s ability to continue as a going 
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting 
unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to 
do so. 

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. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and 
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

•

•

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, 
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from 
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional 
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Group’s internal control.  

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and 
related disclosures made by the directors.

Independent Auditor’s Report 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
•

•

•

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on 
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may 
cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material 
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 
financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the 
audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may 
cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and 
whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair 
presentation. 

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business 
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, 
supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding 
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to 
bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. 

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the 
audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in 
our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare 
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse 
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such 
communication. 

Report on the Audit of the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 45 to 64 of the directors' report for the year ended 30 
June 2020. 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Healius Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020, complies with section 
300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in 
accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 
Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Healius – Annual Report 2020FINANCE REPORTAbout this Report
OVERVIEW
Healius Limited (Healius), is a for-profit entity domiciled in Australia. These financial statements represent the consolidated financial 
statements of Healius for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 and comprise Healius and its subsidiaries (together referred 
to as “the consolidated entity” or “the Group”). 

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.

The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting 
Standards Board.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments. 
Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars. 
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. Where applicable, prior year comparatives have been restated 
in line with current year presentation.

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED
The Group applied AASB 16 Leases and AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment for the first time. The nature 
and effect of the changes as a result of adoption of this new accounting standard and accounting interpretation is described below.

Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in FY 2020, but do not have an impact on the consolidated 
financial statements of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been 
issued but are not yet effective. 

AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 was adopted by the Group on 1 July 2019.

Previously operating leases were not recognised in the statement of financial position. Instead operating lease payments, including 
fixed rate increases, were recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The benefit of any lease incentives 
were recognised on a straight-line basis as a reduction to the rental expense over the lease term. An asset or liability was recognised 
for the difference between amounts paid/received and the net lease expense recognised in the income statement. Contingent rental 
arising under an operating lease, for example CPI-linked increases to lease payments, were recognised as an expense in the period 
in which they were incurred.

AASB 16 has removed the distinction between operating and finance leases resulting in almost all leases being recognised by 
lessees as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the statement of financial position except for short term leases and leases 
of low value assets. The impact to the income statement for leases previously classified as operating leases has been to recognise 
an interest expense and depreciation expense rather than a property or equipment rental expense and has also affected the 
timing of recognition (whereby the overall expense for an individual contract is higher in the earlier periods when the interest 
expense which is calculated on the outstanding liability is higher).

The main types of leases under which the Group is a lessee are:
• 
•  Diagnostic imaging equipment.

Premises for medical centres, day hospitals, pathology and imaging sites as well as corporate offices; and

Notes to the financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2020Transition

The Group has elected to apply the new standard using the modified retrospective approach, which requires no restatement 
of comparative information.

The lease liability on initial adoption has been measured as the present value of the future lease payments under the various 
lease agreements discounted at the relevant incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019. The relevant incremental borrowing 
rate is determined based on the remaining term of each lease agreement as at 1 July 2019.

The right-of-use asset on initial adoption has been measured as follows:
• 

For the largest property leases the right-of-use asset has been calculated as the present value of lease payments since 
the commencement of the lease using the discount rate applicable as at 1 July 2019 based on the remaining lease term 
less accumulated depreciation recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term and adjusted for any lease incentive 
received or receivable. 
For all other leases the right-of-use asset is equivalent to the lease liability.

• 
•  Any onerous lease provision that existed as at 30 June 2019 has been adjusted against the opening right-of-use asset for the 

lease to which it relates.

Other adjustments on initial adoption include:
• 

The reversal of any amounts in the balance sheet as at 30 June 2019 that relate to the straight-lining of lease payments where 
Healius is the lessee under the lease ($36.2 million).
The reversal of any accrued operating lease expenses as at 30 June 2019 as these are included in the measurement of the 
lease liability on initial adoption ($3.8 million).
The recognition/reversal of deferred taxes in relation to all adjustments listed above ($8.8 million). 
The net effect of the adjustments recognised on initial adoption has been recognised in retained earnings ($20.5 million).

• 

• 
• 

On transition the Group has elected to apply the following practical expedients available under AASB 16:
• 

Leases with lease terms of less than 12 months remaining from the date of transition will continue to be expensed 
on a straight-line basis.

•  Hindsight has been used in determining the lease term where a contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
• 

The assessment of onerous leases performed as at 30 June 2019 has been relied on as an alternative to performing 
an impairment review. The right-of-use asset on initial application for any lease that had an onerous lease provision 
recognised as at 30 June 2019 has been adjusted for that onerous lease provision on initial adoption ($43.5 million).

•  A single discount rate has been applied to each portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
• 

Initial direct costs have been excluded from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

The impact on the statement of financial position as at 1 July 2019 of adopting the new standard is summarised below 
as increases/(decreases) to the items noted.

The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognised on adoption of AASB 16 have been adjusted when compared to the 
balances disclosed in the financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2019. Certain changes to leases disclosed 
as new and remeasured leases in the half-year financial statements were in fact effective prior to 1 July 2019 and are now included 
in the opening balances on adoption of AASB 16. There is no net impact of these adjustments on retained earnings.

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a lease liability 
and a right-or-use asset for all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (being leases with a lease 
term of less than 12 months) and leases of low value items (generally small items of IT equipment). For these leases, the Group 
recognises the lease payment as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the lease payments not paid at the commencement date. Lease 
payments include:
• 
• 
• 

Fixed lease payments less any lease incentives receivable;
Variable lease payments that depend on an index (such as CPI) initially measured using the index at the commencement date;
In relation to equipment leases the amount expected to be payable on the exercise of purchase options where it is reasonably 
certain that the option will be exercised.

Lease payments are discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined (which is the case for 
all property leases) the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.

82

Notes to the financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2020The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the 
effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability less any lease incentives received. 
They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are 
depreciated over the lease term unless the Group expects to exercise a purchase option (primarily in relation to Imaging equipment 
leases) where the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset.

The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
• 

The lease term has changed in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using 
a revised discount rate.
The lease payments change due to changes in an index (such as CPI) in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting 
the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate.
The lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease in which case the lease 
liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised 
discount rate effective at the date of the modification.

• 

• 

(b)  The Group as lessor

The Group enters into lease agreements as lessor in respect of some property leases. In this situation, where the Group is an intermediate 
lessor, it accounts for the head lease and the sub-lease as two separate contracts. 

The sub-lease is a finance lease where it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other 
sub-leases are operating leases. The determination of whether a sub-lease is classified as a finance or operating lease is made 
by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. 

The majority of sub-leases have lease terms substantially shorter than the head lease and accordingly are classified as operating 
leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment 

AASB Interpretation 23 was adopted by the Group on 1 July 2019.

The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application 
of AASB 112 Income Taxes. It does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of AASB 112, nor does it specifically include 
requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically addresses 
the following: 
•  Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately 
• 
•  How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates 
•  How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances 

The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities 

Upon adoption of the Interpretation, the Group considered whether it has any uncertain tax positions, noting that aside from the 
tax objections for the year 2003 to 2007 years in respect to lump sum payments made to healthcare practitioners during those 
years, the Group does not have any other uncertain tax positions. As at transition date of 1 July 2019, no asset was recognised due 
to uncertainty on the matter, at the time.

On 29 November 2019, the Federal Court issued a judgement in the favour of the Group with respect to the tax objections for the 
2003 and 2007 years. Following this decision, given the change in circumstances, management reassessed the position and has 
considered that it is probable that the taxation authority will ultimately find in favour of the Group, and as a result has recognised 
a ax receivable and associated interest (refer to Note A4).

Notes to the financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2020Healius – Annual Report 2020FINANCE REPORTPrior Period Re-statement – Correction of Error
Following a detailed review of long service leave assumptions, adjustments were identified whereby the long service leave 
provisions were understated. Where these adjustments arose as a result of information that existed in prior periods on retention 
rates that were not correctly taken into consideration when assessing the carrying amount and the adequacy of liabilities, 
the errors are prior period errors that have been corrected by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for the 
prior periods as set out below. There is no impact on the statement of cash flows for the prior period arising from the correction 
of the prior period errors.

Notes to the financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2020Other new and amended accounting standards
A number of accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not effective for the Group in the current 
financial year. The Group has elected not to early adopt these new standards or amendments in the financial report. The Group 
has assessed these standards and concluded that they will not have a material impact on the amounts reported by the Group. 

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
Healius is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Report) Instrument 2016/191, 
dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Instrument, amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest 
hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. Accounting policies are 
selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and 
reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported. Significant accounting 
policies are included within the relevant notes to the financial statements.

Preparation of the financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions 
and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected 
in future periods. Information on key accounting estimates and judgements can be found in the following notes:

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION – SUBSIDIARIES
Subsidiaries are those entities controlled by Healius. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated 
financial report from the date that control is obtained until the date that control ceases. All inter-entity transactions, balances 
and any unrealised gains and losses arising from inter-entity transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Non-controlling 
interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and 
consolidated statement of financial position respectively.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at their cost of acquisition in the parent company’s financial statements.

Notes to the financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2020Healius – Annual Report 2020FINANCE REPORTA.  Group performance
This section contains details of the way the business measures performance for the purpose of internal reporting along with 
details of the key elements of the consolidated statement of profit or loss, earnings per share and accounting policies and 
key assumptions relevant to the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

A1.  Segment information 
Operating segments are identified based on the way that the Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors (also known as the 
chief operating decision makers) regularly review the financial performance of the business to assess performance and determine 
the allocation of resources. For internal management reporting purposes, the Group is organised into the following three divisions 
or operating segments:

OPERATING SEGMENT

ACTIVITY

Pathology

Imaging

Day Hospitals

This division provides pathology services. 

This division provides imaging and scanning services from standalone imaging sites, 
hospitals and from within the consolidated entity’s medical centres.

This division is an operator of day hospitals and haematology/oncology services and also 
provides services and facilities to IVF specialists.

The other category comprises corporate functions. The Group operates predominantly in Australia. 

The Day Hospitals segment was previously included within the Medical Centre segment. Given the remainder of the Medical Centre 
segment is classified as discontinued operations, Day Hospitals is now reported as a separate segment. Comparative information 
has been restated for this change. 

Intersegment
The Day Hospital division charges the Pathology division a fee for use of its facilities and services. These charges are eliminated 
on consolidation.

Presentation of segment revenue and results
Segment revenues and segment results are presented on an underlying basis.

Underlying results for the year ended 30 June 2020 exclude the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 and non-underlying items 
relating to:
•  Restructuring and strategic initiatives and other non-recurring items; and
• 

Impairment of assets and other related items

Underlying results include the payment for rent, recharging of costs and other transactions with discontinued activities which are 
required to be excluded from reported results.

The change in the value of contract assets during the current period is due to upfront payments transferred to assets held for sale.

Accounting Policies – Revenue
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer. 
The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of goods or services to a customer.

The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:
• 
• 
• 

Provision of pathology services;
Provision of imaging and scanning services; and
Provision of facilities and services to healthcare professionals.

(a)  Provision of facilities and services to healthcare professionals

Revenue from the provision of facilities and services to healthcare professionals (HCPs) is recognised as the performance obligation 
is satisfied over time. Revenue is recognised based on the services provided as at the reporting date.

An up-front payment may be made to HCP when a facilities and services agreement is entered into. The payment is not 
made in exchange for distinct goods or services and accordingly the up-front payment is initially recognised as a contract 
asset. The contract asset is recognised as a reduction to the revenue recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the 
relevant contract.

(b)  Provision of pathology services and provision of imaging services

Revenue from the provision of pathology services and the provision of imaging services is recognised at the point in time when 
the relevant test has been completed.

For more information on the interest benefit from FY 2003 to FY 2007 tax case, refer to Note A4.

Interest expense comprises the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and gains/losses arising on interest rate swaps 
accounted for as cash flow hedges and reclassified from equity. 

Unwinding of the interest component of discounted non-current provisions is classified as a finance cost. 

Other borrowing costs associated with arranging interest bearing liabilities are initially recognised in the consolidated statement 
of financial position (refer Note C1) and are subsequently amortised through the consolidated statement of profit or loss 
on a straight-line basis over the term of the interest bearing liability they relate to.

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, except when it relates 
to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises 
from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill.

ATO OBJECTION DECISIONS – YEARS 2003–2007
The Federal Court of Australia decided in favour of Healius on 29th November 2019 regarding its appeal against the Commissioner 
of Taxation’s (Commissioner’s) decision to disallow its tax objections for the 2003 to 2007 years in respect to lump sum payments 
made to healthcare practitioners during those years.

Healius has recognised an income tax benefit and a tax receivable of $46.6 million and associated interest receivable of $23.6 million 
in its 30 June 2020 accounts based on the favourable decision received from the Federal Court of Australia.

The Commissioner appealed the Federal Court of Australia’s decision on 13 January 2020 and the appeal was heard on 11 and 
14 August 2020. No decision has yet been handed down in relation to the appeal.

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently are carried at amortised cost, using the 
effective interest rate method, less an allowance for expected credit losses (allowance for doubtful debts).

No interest is charged on trade receivables. The Group’s policy requires customers to pay the Group in accordance with agreed 
payment terms. All credit and recovery risk associated with trade receivables has been provided for in the consolidated statement 
of financial position. Trade receivables have been aged according to their original due date in the above ageing analysis. 

The Group applies a simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses using a provision matrix based on its historical credit 
loss experience and adjusting for any known forward-looking issues specific to the debtors and the economic environment. 

Further discussion of the credit risk associated with trade receivables is included in Note C4.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination 
over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised at the date 
of the acquisition. Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the CGUs, or group of CGUs, expected to benefit from the 
synergies of the business combination.

On disposal of an operation within a CGU, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss 
on disposal of the operation.

Refer to note E2 for details on acquisitions made during the year. 

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS 
The carrying amount of goodwill is tested for impairment annually at 30 June and whenever there is an indicator that the asset 
may be impaired. Where an asset is deemed to be impaired, it is written down to its recoverable amount.

In its impairment assessment, the Group determines the recoverable amount based on a fair value less costs of disposal 
calculation, under a five year discounted cash flow model cross checked to available market data (level 3 fair value measurement 
in the fair value hierarchy – refer note C4 for further details on the hierarchy). The five year discounted cash flow uses:
• 
• 

year one cash flows derived from the FY 2021 Board approved budget; and
for FY 2022–FY 2025, growth rates have been determined with reference to historical company experience, industry data and 
a long term growth rate consistent with historic industry trend levels.

The Board-approved budget takes into account the Group’s view with regards to the potential economic impacts of COVID-19 
on the business. In determining the 2021 cash flow projections, management has considered the impact of COVID-19 on trading 
results in FY 2020, and also on trading in the first few months of FY 2021.

Although there has been a negative impact on Healius’ community-based care business and for its hospital environments, this has 
been offset by significant volumes of COVID-19 testing. Management has observed an inverse relationship between this demand 
for COVID-19 testing and the reduction in normal business as usual volumes. It has also been assumed that the current level of 
rebate funding for COVID-19 tests will remain in place until business as usual volumes return to normal.

92

Notes to the financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2020 
B2.  Goodwill  (continued)

The key assumptions in the Group’s discounted cash flow model as at 30 June 2020 are as follows:

ASSUMPTION

HOW DETERMINED

Forecast revenue

Cumulative average revenue growth rates for FY 2021–FY 2025 are as follows:
Pathology: 4.6% (30 June 2019: 5.2%)
• 
• 
Imaging: 6.3% (30 June 2019: 7.3%)
•  Montserrat: 10.9% (30 June 2019: 14.6%)

Forecast revenue in the current year and prior year has been determined with reference 
to historical company experience, industry data and scheduled centre openings.

Terminal value growth rates

The terminal value growth rates assumed are:
Pathology: 3.0% (30 June 2019: 3.0%)
• 
• 
Imaging: 3.0% (30 June 2019: 3.0%)
•  Montserrat: 3.0% (30 June 2019: 3.0%)

Discount rates

The terminal value growth rates have been determined with reference to historical company 
experience for the CGU and expectations of long-term operating conditions. The growth rates 
do not exceed long term industry growth rates for the business in which the industry operates.

Post-tax discount rates for each CGU reflect the Group’s estimate of the time value of money 
and risks specific to each CGU. 

In determining the appropriate discount rate for each CGU, consideration has been given to the 
estimated weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the Group adjusted for business risks 
specific to that CGU. The post-tax discount rate after applying AASB 16 for each CGU is: 
Pathology: 8.0% (30 June 2019: 8.5%)
• 
• 
Imaging: 8.0% (30 June 2019: 8.5%)
•  Montserrat: 9.3% (30 June 2019: 10.0%)

The 30 June 2019 post-tax discount rates disclosed above are before applying AASB 16. 

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The Group has conducted sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions above to assess the effect on the recoverable amount 
of changes in the key assumptions.

The following table sets out the change in revenue growth rates, terminal value growth and discount rates that would be required 
in order for the carrying value of the Pathology, Imaging and Montserrat CGUs to equal the recoverable amount.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS: IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the fair value of the CGUs or Group of CGUs to which goodwill 
has been allocated. The valuation model used to estimate the fair value of each CGU or Group of CGUs requires the Directors 
to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the CGU or Group of CGUs and a suitable discount rate in order 
to calculate net present value. The key assumptions used to estimate fair value of the Group’s CGUs are disclosed above.

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Cost includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. 

Depreciation commences once an asset is available for use and is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the net 
cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The estimated useful lives, residual values and 
depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. Where as a result of this review there is a change 
in the estimated remaining useful life of an asset, it is accounted for on a prospective basis with depreciation in future periods 
based on the written down value of the asset as at the date the change in useful life is determined.

The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:

CLASS OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Leasehold improvements

Plant and equipment

USEFUL LIFE

1–20 years

3–20 years

Property, plant and equipment is reviewed at each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that the assets may 
have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine 
the extent of the impairment loss (if any). The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. 
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss for the amount by which an asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount 
of the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

Intangible assets acquired separately or developed internally are recognised initially at cost. Intangible assets acquired 
in a business combination are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). 
Subsequent to initial recognition intangible assets are recognised at cost less amortisation and impairment (if any).

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development is only recognised once the feasibility, intention and ability 
to complete the intangible asset can be demonstrated. Any expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense 
when incurred.

All intangible assets have a finite life and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful 
lives and amortisation methods are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. Where as a result of this review there 
is a change in the estimated remaining useful life of an asset, it is accounted for on a prospective basis with amortisation in future 
periods based on the net written down value of the asset as at the date the change in useful life is determined. The following 
estimated useful lives have been used for each class of asset:

CLASS OF OTHER INTANGIBLES

Licences

IT software

USEFUL LIFE

3–8 years

3–10 years

Intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that the assets may have 
suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine 
the extent of the impairment loss (if any). The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value 
in use. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss for the amount by which an asset’s carrying amount exceeds its 
recoverable amount.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount 
of the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. 

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS – OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Judgement must be exercised when determining whether it is appropriate to capitalise costs related to internally developed 
intangible assets, in particular costs related to the development of IT software. Judgement is also required when estimating 
the expected useful life of other intangible assets and the period over which these assets are amortised.

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments resulting 
from the purchase of goods and services.

Deferred consideration relates to businesses acquired and is initially measured at fair value as at the acquisition date. Subsequent 
to initial recognition, deferred consideration continues to be measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recognised in the 
profit or loss. 

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS – DEFERRED CONSIDERATION
The measurement of deferred consideration requires management to estimate the amount likely to be paid in the future. This 
requires the exercise of judgement, in particular where the amount payable is dependent on the future financial performance 
of the business that has been acquired.

Provisions are recognised when:
• 
• 
•  a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation; and

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting 
date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows 
estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time 
value of money is material). Where applicable, prior year comparatives have been restated in line with current year presentation.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of annual leave and long service leave when it is probable 
that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration 
rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognised in respect of long-term employee benefits are measured 
as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees 
up to reporting date.

SELF-INSURANCE
The Group is self-insured for workers’ compensation in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. Provisions are recognised 
based on claims reported, and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. These provisions are determined on a discounted 
basis and having regard to actuarial valuations.

ONEROUS CONTRACT PROVISION
The Group recognises onerous contract provisions whereby the unavoidable cost of future payments under non-cancellable 
contracts, exceeds the future economic benefits expected to be obtained under the contract.

MAKE GOOD PROVISION
The Group recognises make good provisions where under certain lease agreements the Group has an obligation to restore the 
leased premises to a specified condition at the end of the lease term. 

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS – ONEROUS CONTRACT PROVISION
The calculation of the onerous contract provision requires management to estimate the future economic benefits expected 
to be obtained under each of the relevant contracts.

Interest-bearing liabilities are recorded initially at fair value (usually the amount of the proceeds received) less transaction costs. 
Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing liabilities are measured at amortised cost with any difference between the initial 
recognised amount and the redemption value being recognised in profit and loss over the term of the interest-bearing liability 
using the effective interest method.

In October 2019, the Group repaid $100 million of the second tranche of its Syndicated Facility Agreement. In June 2020 the 
Group refinanced the first tranche of the Syndicated Facility Agreement from $500 million to $570 million. The borrowing costs 
to be amortised over the full term amount to $3.2 million.

The refinancing of the second tranche of the Syndicated Facility Agreement in December 2017 did not represent a significant 
modification. On adoption of AASB 9 the carrying amount of the facility was remeasured and recognised as an adjustment to the 
carrying amount of interest bearing liabilities. 

Interest rate sensitivity and liquidity analysis disclosures relating to the Group’s interest-bearing liabilities are disclosed in Note C4.

In respect of FY 2020 the deferred interim dividend of 2.6cps (100% franked), will be payable to the holders of fully paid ordinary 
shares on 15 October 2020. This dividend was originally declared as payable on 15 April 2020, however due to the impact 
of COVID-19 on the Group’s cash flow, it was deferred and is now payable on 15 October 2020. The Board has determined that 
no FY 2020 final dividend will be paid.

The Dividend Reinvestment Plan and a Bonus Share Plan were suspended effective 16 February 2016 until further notice. 

The final dividend and the interim dividend for the year ended 30 June 2019 were 100% franked.

C4.  Financial instruments 
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
•  Credit risk
• 
•  Market risk, including interest rate, currency and price risk.

Liquidity risk

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and procedures for measuring 
and managing risk and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report.

Risk management framework
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and this is delegated 
through the Group’s: 
•  Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group’s risk management policies 

(excluding financial reporting risks); and

•  Audit Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group’s financial risk management policies. 

The committees report regularly to the Board of Directors on their activities.

The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk 
limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly 
to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards 
and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles 
and obligations.

The Group’s Risk Management Committee (in relation to material business risks excluding financial reporting risks) and Audit 
Committee (in relation to financial reporting risks) oversee how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management 
policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial asset held by the Group fails to meet its contractual 
obligations under the terms of the financial asset (to deliver cash to the Group).

The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from cash and derivatives held with financial institutions and trade receivables 
due from external customers. The credit risk on cash and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties 
are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-ratings agencies. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk 
from trade receivables is equal to the carrying amount of the Group’s trade receivables as at the reporting date of $155.2 million 
(30 June 2019: $140.6 million). The ageing of the Group’s trade receivables and an analysis of the Group’s provision for expected 
credit losses is provided in Note B1.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the bulk billing of services by medical practitioners to whom the 
Group charges service fees for use of medical centre and imaging facilities. A large proportion of the Group’s receivables are 
due from Medicare Australia (bulk-billed services) and health funds. The remaining trade receivables are due from individuals. 
The concentration of credit risk relating to this remaining debt is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities 
that are settled by delivering cash or another financial liability.

The Group manages liquidity risk by continually monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles 
of financial assets and financial liabilities and ensuring that sufficient unused facilities are in place should they be required 
to refinance any short term financial liabilities.

The Group had access to the following financing facilities as at the end of the reporting period.

The first tranche of the syndicated bank facility of $570.0 million matures in January 2024 and the second tranche of $525.0 million 
matures in January 2023.

Amounts unused on non-current facilities are able to be drawn during the course of the ordinary working capital cycle of the Group. 
The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative and derivative financial liabilities.

The tables include the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can 
be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows except for expected interest payments which 
have already been recorded in trade and other payables. The cash flows for the interest rate swaps represent the net amounts 
to be paid.

The repayment of contractual cash flows due in the period less than one year from 30 June 2020 will be met through the ordinary 
working capital cycle of the Group, including the collection of trade receivables (30 June 2020: 155.2 million) and the unused 
headroom in the Syndicated Debt Facility (30 June 2020: $280.0 million).

Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the Group borrow funds at floating interest rates plus a fixed margin. 
Interest rate risk is managed by the Group by the use of interest rate swap contracts (cash flow hedges), executed by authorised 
representatives of the Group within limits approved by the Risk Management Committee.

The following table details the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk on non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities

Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the Group’s exposure to variable interest rates during the financial 
year, projecting a reasonably possible change taking place at the beginning of the financial year, held constant throughout the 
financial year and applied to variable interest payments made throughout the financial year. A 50 basis point increase represents 
management’s assessment of a reasonably possible change in interest rates. If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher 
or lower and all other variables were held constant, the impact on the profit after tax and other comprehensive income would 
have been as follows:

C4.  Financial instruments  (continued)

Cash flow hedges (Interest rate swap contracts)
The Group uses interest rate swap contracts to hedge its interest rate risks, predominantly arising from financing activities. 
Under interest rate swap contracts, the Group agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts 
calculated on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts enable the Group to mitigate the cash flow exposures on the 
variable rate debt and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The fair value of interest rate swaps at the end of the reporting 
period is determined by discounting the future cash flows using the curves at the end of the reporting period and the credit risk 
inherent in the contract, and is disclosed below. 

The Group’s cash flow hedges settle on a monthly basis. The Group settles the difference between the fixed and floating interest 
rate payable/(receivable) under each cash flow hedge on a net basis.

ACCOUNTING POLICY
All interest rate swap contracts exchanging floating rate interest amounts for fixed rate interest amounts are designated as cash 
flow hedges as they reduce the Group’s cash flow exposure resulting from variable interest rates on its Gross Bank Loan.

Interest rate swap contracts are initially recognised at fair value on the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently 
re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The effective part of any gain or loss on the interest rate swap 
is recognised directly in equity. Any gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion (if any) of the interest rate swap is recognised 
immediately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Payments under the interest rate swaps and the interest payments on the underlying financial liability occur simultaneously and 
the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to the statement of profit or loss over the period that the floating rate interest 
payments on the underlying financial liability affect the statement of profit or loss.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the entity revokes designation of the hedge relationship 
but the hedged forecast transaction is still expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss at that point remains in equity and 
is recognised in accordance with the above policy when the transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected 
to take place, then the cumulative unrealised gain or loss recognised in equity is immediately recognised in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss.

Fair value of financial instruments

Basis for determining fair value

The determination of fair values of the Group’s financial instruments that are not measured at cost or amortised cost in the 
financial statements are summarised as follows:

(i)  Financial assets at fair value through comprehensive income
Certain investments in equity instruments held by the Group are designated as being at fair value through comprehensive income 
and are stated at fair value less any impairment. 

(ii)  Cash flow hedges (interest rate swap contracts)
The fair value of the Group’s cash flow hedges are measured as the present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted 
based on applicable yield curves derived from quoted interest rates at the end of the financial year.

Fair value measurement – valuation methods

The table below analyses the Group’s financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The definition of each “level” 
below is as required by accounting standards as follows:
• 

Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets 
or liabilities.
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are 
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that 
are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).  
Deferred consideration relates to previous business combinations. The fair value of deferred consideration is measured as the 
present value of the estimated future cash outflows which are based on Board-approved budgets and earnings multiples as set 
out in the relevant acquisition documentation.

Fair value of other financial instruments

The fair value of cash, receivables and payables approximates their carrying amount. The fair value of the non-current interest 
bearing liabilities approximates the carrying amount of the gross bank loans of $815.0 million (2019: $800.0 million).

Other risks

Currency risk

The Group transacts predominately in Australian dollars and has a relatively small exposure to offshore assets or liabilities. 
The Group predominately uses the spot foreign currency market to service any foreign currency transactions. A sensitivity analysis 
has not been performed on the currency risk as this is not considered material.

Capital management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising 
the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance and providing a stable capital base from 
which Healius can pursue its corporate strategic objectives. 

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the interest-bearing liabilities disclosed in Note C1, cash and 
equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity. The Group’s policy is to borrow centrally on a long term basis from committed long 
term revolving bank facilities and through recycling capital in order to meet anticipated funding requirements.

Notes to the financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2020Healius – Annual Report 2020FINANCE REPORTD2.  Deed of cross guarantee
Pursuant to ASIC Corporations Instrument (Wholly-owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785, the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed 
below are relieved from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports, and 
Directors’ reports.

It is a condition of the Instrument that the relevant holding entity and each of the relevant subsidiaries enter into a Deed of Cross 
Guarantee. The effect of the Deed is that each holding entity guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in the event 
of winding up of any of the subsidiaries in each Group under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001. If a winding up occurs 
under other provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, each holding entity will only be liable in the event that after six months any 
creditor has not been paid in full. The subsidiaries have also given similar guarantees in the event that each holding entity 
is wound up.

Deferred tax arises when there are temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the 
corresponding tax base of those items. Deferred taxes are not recognised for temporary differences relating to:
• 

the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that is not a business combination which affects neither taxable income 
nor accounting profit;
the initial recognition of goodwill; and
investments in subsidiaries where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and 
it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

E4.  Tax balances (continued)

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available against which 
the assets can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the periods when the asset is realised 
or the liability is settled based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group 
intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

TAX CONSOLIDATION 
Healius Limited and its wholly-owned Australian entities elected to form an income tax consolidated group as of 1 July 2002. 
The entities in the income tax consolidated group entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the Directors, 
limits the entities’ joint and several liability in the case of an income tax payment default by the head entity, Healius Limited.

E6.  Share-based payments
The Group uses Options, Performance Rights and Service Rights to remunerate Senior Executives.

Options and Performance Rights are subject to both service and performance conditions whilst Service Rights are subject to service 
conditions only. Details of service conditions and performance conditions for each share-based payment plan are set out below. 
Options and Rights will vest if the relevant conditions are met. Each Performance Right or Service Right is an entitlement to one 
fully-paid ordinary share in Healius. 

Options, Performance Rights and Service Rights carry no rights to dividends and no voting rights. 

On vesting, Options may be exercised by the participant at the exercise price. For the FY 2020 Options Plan the exercise price 
is the standard volume weighted average price (VWAP) for the Company’s shares for the 10 trading days following 1 July 2019 which 
was $3.05. The Options must be exercised on the relevant Exercise Date as set out below unless the Board exercises its discretion 
to settle the Options in the form of cash for the difference between the exercise price of the option and the market share price 
of Healius on the Exercise Price.

On vesting, Performance Rights and Service Rights are exercised automatically for nil consideration and convert to fully-paid 
ordinary shares in Healius unless the Board exercises its discretion to settle the Rights in the form of cash.

If a participant ceases employment any unvested Options or Rights will lapse unless otherwise determined by the Board. 

The Group operate the following share-based payment plans:

E6.  Share-based payments  (continued)

(a)  Transformation Long Term Incentive Plan (TLTIP) – Options Plan
The TLTIP is a new share-based plan in FY 2020. The purpose of the TLTIP is to retain and motivate the executive team to deliver 
over the term of the strategic plan. The strategic plan aims to deliver a sustainable increase in shareholder returns over time. 
The key components of the TLTIP are a close alignment to cumulative shareholder returns and a measurement period of five years.

The TLTIP is granted as Options with a one-off grant of Options to cover a three-year period from FY 2020 with options exercisable 
in equal tranches at the end of FY 2022, FY 2023 and FY 2024. The vesting of the Options is subject to continued employment 
throughout the relevant measurement period and the following performance conditions:
•  Cumulative Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth and relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR) for the CEO, CFO and members of the 

executive team in functional roles (split 2/3 to 1/3 between EPS and rTSR); and

•  Divisional Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) growth as well as EPS growth and rTSR for the divisional CEOs (split 

40%/20%/40% between EPS, rTSR and EBIT).

The Options granted in FY 2020 are allocated evenly to three tranches with the measurement period being 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022 
for Tranche 1, 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2023 for Tranche 2 and 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2024 for Tranche 3.

The relevant Exercise Date for each tranche is as follows:
• 
• 
• 

Tranche 1: the day following the release of the FY 2022 results;
Tranche 2: the day following the release of the FY 2023 results; and
Tranche 3: the day following the release of the FY 2024 results;

Further details of the TLTIP Options Plan can be found in the Remuneration Report.

(b)   Transformation Long Term Incentive Plan (TLTIP) and previous Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) – Performance 

Rights Plans

In FY 2020 Performance Rights were granted under the TLTIP to senior executives other than members of the executive team who 
received Options under the TLTIP as discussed above. 

In FY 2019 and FY 2018 Performance Rights were granted under the previous LTIP to senior executives including members of the 
executive team.

The Performance Rights are subject to continued employment throughout the measurement period and the following 
performance conditions:
• 

In FY 2020 the Performance Rights are subject to EPS growth and rTSR performance conditions for executives in functional 
roles (split 2/3 to 1/3 between EPS and rTSR) and EBIT growth, EPS growth and rTSR performance conditions for executives 
in operational roles (split 40%/20%/40% between EPS, rTSR and EBIT); and
In FY 2019 and FY 2018 50% of the Performance Rights are subject to return on invested capital (ROIC) performance condition 
and 50% of the Performance Rights are subject to a rTSR performance condition.

• 

The measurement period for Performance Rights granted under the FY 2020 award is 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022 (FY 2019 award: 
1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021). Retesting will not occur under any of these awards.

(c)  Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) 
The purpose of the STIP is to motivate Senior Executives to achieve the short-term annual objectives linked to Company success 
and shareholder value creation and to create a strong link between performance and reward. Awards made under the STIP are 
subject to various financial and non-financial performance conditions (KPIs) measured over a 12 month period ending 30 June. 
In FY 2018 75% of awards were paid in cash. The remaining 25% of awards were granted in the form of Service Rights with 50% of this 
deferred amount subject to a service period of 12 months following the end of the measurement period and 50% of this deferred 
amount subject to a service period of 24 months following the end of the measurement period.

In the current year the CEO, CFO and all direct reports to the CEO will receive two-thirds of any STIP award in cash and one-third 
in equity which is subject to a service period of 12 months following the end of the measurement period. The Board of Directors 
have determined that in relation to FY 2020 no at risk STI will be awarded to executive Key Management Personnel and other direct 
reports to the CEO. For all other members of the STIP the nature of any award (cash or equity) is at the discretion of management.

Set out below are summaries of the equity instruments granted under each of the plans as at 30 June 2020:

on which notice was given to the ASX of the proposed issue of securities. 

FAIR VALUE OF OPTIONS AND RIGHTS GRANTED
The fair value of the Options and Performance Rights granted under the FY 2020 Plans is estimated at the grant date using 
a Monte-Carlo simulation model taking into account the terms and conditions on which the Options and Performance Rights 
were granted including the rTSR performance condition where applicable. As the EPS and EBIT performance conditions are 
non-market conditions they are not taken into account when determining the fair value of the Options and Performance Rights 
but rather are considered when determining the number of Options or Performance Rights that will ultimately vest.

The fair value of Service Rights and Performance Rights granted under the FY 2019 and FY 2020 Plans that are subject 
to a non-market based performance condition was estimated based on the market price of Healius’ shares on the grant 
date, with a downward adjustment to take into account the value of dividends that will not be received during the vesting 
period. The fair value of the Performance Rights granted under the FY 2019 and FY 2018 Plans subject to the rTSR market 
based performance condition has been calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The fair values of Options and Rights granted during the year are set out below:

ACCOUNTING POLICY
Options, Performance Rights and Service Rights granted to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments 
at the grant date. The fair value is recognised as an employee benefits expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period 
with a corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve. The fair value of the rights granted includes any market 
performance conditions such as rTSR and the impact of any non-vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of service and 
non-market performance conditions such as EPS, EBIT and ROIC.

At the end of each reporting period, in relation to service and non-market performance conditions, the Group revises its estimate of the number 
of Options and Rights that are expected to vest. The impact of the revision to the original estimate, if any, is recognised in profit or loss 
such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the share-based payments reserve.

TRANSACTIONS WITH PAUL JONES
During the years ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 the Group provided medical centre management services (Services) 
to Dr Paul F Jones Pty Limited, a company controlled by Paul Jones, a Non-executive Director of Healius. The Services were 
provided to Dr Jones’ general medical practice, which is conducted at one of Healius’ medical centres, on ordinary arm’s 
length terms.

The Service fees received by the Group for FY 2020 were $96,839 (FY 2019: $131,330). This Service fee revenue was accounted for 
by Healius in the same way as revenue from other healthcare practices. 

There were no amounts payable or receivable as at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: $nil) and the provision of the Services continues 
as at the date of this financial report.

OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
From time to time, KMPs (and their personally-related entities) enter into transactions with entities in the Group, including the use 
or provision of services under normal customer, supplier or employee relationships. These transactions:
• 

occur within a normal employee, customer or supplier relationship on terms and conditions no more favourable than those which 
it is reasonable to expect the Group would have adopted if dealing with the KMP or their personally-related entity at arm’s 
length in the same circumstances;

•  do not have the potential to adversely affect decisions about the allocation of scarce resources made by users of the financial 

report, or the discharge of accountability by the KMP; and

•  are trivial or domestic in nature.

E10.  Adoption of new and revised standards
STANDARDS AFFECTING AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE CURRENT PERIOD (AND/OR PRIOR PERIODS)
A number of amendments to AASBs issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) are mandatorily effective for 
an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2019 and are therefore relevant for the current year end. Details of the impact 
of adopting AASB 16 Leases and AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment disclosed on pages 80 to 83.

No other amendments have had a material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated 
financial statements.

STANDARDS ON ISSUE NOT YET ADOPTED
At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, a number of Standards and Interpretations were on issue but not yet 
effective for the Group. In the Directors’ opinion, the Accounting Standards on issue but not yet effective, will not have a material 
impact on the amounts reported by the Group in future financial periods.

E11.  Subsequent events
Refer to Note A4 for details on the subsequent events relating to the FY 2003–2007 tax case.

Other than these events there has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen since the end of the financial year that has 
significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs 
on the Group in future financial years.
