A Letter from the Chairman

Dear fellow shareholder,

Strategic focus

In a year of high market volatility and leadership transition, 
Infomedia continued to perform well and finished the period 
with a solid result delivering revenue growth, higher operating 
earnings and cashflows. Achieving this in challenging operating 
conditions is a testament to the hard work and commitment of 
our global team.

Key achievements in FY22

The 12 months to 30 June 2022 were characterised by the 
following major achievements:

The first achievement was the solid financial result in which 
Infomedia delivered strong revenue growth, in-line with the 
guidance provided to the market a year ago. A return to a more 
normal operating environment in the second half of FY22 saw 
an uptick in operating costs with the filling of various open 
employment positions and a return to travel. Nevertheless, 
Infomedia achieved Underlying Cash EBITDA and free cash flow 
growth in excess of revenue growth, demonstrating the Company’s 
operating leverage and cost management measurements. 

Infomedia continues to have a strong balance sheet with 
capacity to support organic and inorganic growth opportunities. 

As a result of the financial performance for the year, the 
company increased its dividend to shareholders to 5.6 cents 
per share for FY22, up 26% from 4.45 cents per share for FY21.

The second achievement during FY22 was the growth achieved 
by our Infodrive data insights solutions and our SimplePart 
e-commerce solutions. Infodrive and SimplePart are two of 
our four product “pillars” and both were added to our product 
portfolio through recent acquisitions. The Board is encouraged 
by Infomedia’s ability to continue expanding and enhancing 
the products and services offered to our global customers, and 
expects the positive growth trajectory to continue in 2023.

Thirdly, during FY22, Infomedia welcomed a new Chief 
Executive Officer and Managing Director, Jens Monsees, and 
Chief Financial Officer, Gareth Turner. The Board is confident 
in their ability to drive the business forward with fresh energy 
and ideas. Jens brings more than 20 years of experience 
to the CEO role, and Infomedia will benefit greatly from his 
senior leadership and automotive experience with both 
BMW and Google, and his exciting vision for the future of the 
business. Gareth is an experienced CFO with a background 
in both technology and ASX-listed companies. He has swiftly 
contributed with enhanced financial reporting, data-driven 
financial analysis and increased internal and external  
reporting transparency.

The automotive sector is rapidly evolving, and our OEM 
partners are increasingly looking to trusted solution 
providers like Infomedia to help them improve productivity, 
profitability and customer retention.

Infomedia is recognised as an innovator in developing 
solutions with a SaaS and DaaS ecosystem that empower 
OEMs and their dealer networks to manage the vehicle and 
customer lifecycle.

With a presence across the Americas, EMEA and APAC, 
Infomedia remains well placed to support our OEM partners 
with market-leading products and services. We believe 
this is a compelling competitive advantage in a globally 
fragmented market.

FY22 financial performance

Revenue in FY22 increased by 23% to $120.1 million, 
reflecting organic growth in all our products in all regions 
we operate in and 12-months of contribution from 
SimplePart which we acquired in May 2021. 

Underlying Cash EBITDA increased by 29% to $24.8 
million. Underlying Cash EBITDA is a key internal metric 
focused on the operating performance of the business, 
independent of the accounting impact of expensing 
acquisition earnout payments and the capitalisation of 
development costs. 

On an organic basis (excluding the SimplePart acquisition 
that was included in the FY22 results for 12 months and 
the FY21 results for 1 month), total revenue in FY22 was 
$103.5 million, an increase of 8%, and Underlying Cash 
EBITDA in FY22 was $21.3 million, an increase of 13%. 

Reported net profit after tax in FY22 was $8.2 million,  
a 49% decrease compared to FY21. NPAT was impacted 
by $14 million of non-cash depreciation and amortisation 
and other non-operating items including the expensing 
of earnouts during the period relating to the successful 
Nidasu and SimplePart acquisitions. 

Capital management

Infomedia continues to generate strong cash flow from 
operations. In FY22, free cash flow, being cash generated 
from operating activities after capital expenditure and 
capitalised development costs, increased by 79% to  
$22.1 million.

A Letter from the Chairman

Infomedia’s strong balance sheet, with $69 million cash on 
hand at 30 June 2022 and no debt, provides the Company 
with flexibility to pursue opportunities to expand our product 
portfolio organically and through M&A. Infomedia continues to 
assess acquisition opportunities with a focus on assets that 
enhance our integrated SaaS and DaaS platform offerings, 
extend our capabilities, open sales channels to new customers 
and increase our reach in key geographic markets.

The Board was pleased to declare a final dividend of 3.0 cents 
per share (franked to 14%).

Outlook

In FY22, Infomedia demonstrated strong growth and momentum 
in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) with an exit ARR of $119.3 
million at 30 June 2022. The increase in Annual Recurring 
Revenue (ARR) provides a strong foundation and positive 
momentum heading into FY23. 

The Board believes that Infomedia is well placed to deliver 
revenue in the range of $131 million to $139 million in FY23.

Infodrive and SimplePart solutions are again expected to 
contribute with double digit growth in FY23.

An additional focus of the new leadership team will be on various 
identified operational excellence initiatives which are expected to 
support further operating leverage in FY23 and beyond.

We will continue to invest in our products, to improve 
functionality and data efficiency, and meet changing customer 
needs and market opportunities.

We enter FY23 well positioned to continue our growth trajectory 
with a strong balance sheet and positive momentum in the 
business. With multiple attractive growth paths ahead, I look 
forward to reporting back to you as Infomedia makes progress 
with those opportunities.

Unsolicited offers

In May 2022, Infomedia received an unsolicited indicative, 
conditional and non-binding offer (“Indicative Proposal”) to 
take the Company private via a Scheme of Arrangement. 
As disclosed in our various ASX announcements, 
Infomedia subsequently received Indicative Proposals 
from other interested parties. As at the date of this letter, 
no binding offers had been received. There is no certainty 
that any Indicative Proposal will result in a binding offer or 
that any binding offer will be recommended by the Board. 
Infomedia shareholders do not need to take any action at 
this time.

Acknowledgements

The Infomedia Board recognises the difficult conditions our 
customers and employees have endured over this past year. 

To our customers, I would like to thank you for your 
ongoing business and you can be assured that the Board 
is committed to ensuring that Infomedia continues to 
provide you with outstanding products and services. 

I would specifically like to acknowledge all our employees 
around the world for their persistence, dedication and 
hard work without which the results outlined in this Annual 
Report would not have been possible.

The Board also expresses its appreciation to our 
shareholders for support over the 12 months. 

Following the appointment of Jens Monsees as the Chief 
Executive Officer and Managing Director in May 2022, 
the Board announced the reappointment of Jim Hassell 
as Non-Executive Director following completion of his role 
as Interim CEO for the prior seven months. We thank Jim 
for his unwavering focus, diligence and commitment while 
serving as interim CEO.

A Message from the CEO

Infomedia’s global leading ecosystem of Software-as-a-Service 
and Data-as-a-Service solutions empowers OEMs  
and their dealer networks to manage the vehicle and  
customer lifecycle. 

Our data-driven solutions are used by over 250,000 industry 
professionals across 50 OEM brands and in 186 countries to 
create a convenient customer journey, drive dealer efficiencies 
and grow sales of original parts and service. 

For more than 28 years, Infomedia has been a proud leader in 
innovation in the retail automotive technology, and we continue 
to expand our global business within the three regions in which 
we operate, namely APAC, EMEA and the Americas.

In May 2022, I was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and 
Managing Director of Infomedia. It is an honour and a privilege 
to have been selected by the Board to lead a truly global 
automotive-focused technology company with strong, long-
standing customer relationships. I am delighted to be back in 
the automotive software industry where I have spent most of 
my executive career, including at the BMW headquarters in 
Germany and as global lead at Google’s automotive practice.

FY22 highlights

During the 12 months to 30 June 2022 (FY22), Infomedia 
continued its growth momentum and delivered a solid financial 
performance resulting in strong cash flows and the highest  
full year dividend per share declared for many years.  
I congratulate the team for this result which was achieved 
under challenging conditions.  

It was pleasing to see that growth was achieved across all 
regions and products, and I would like to acknowledge in 
particular the strong contribution from our Infodrive and 
SimplePart solutions. 

We have maintained a clean and strong balance sheet with no 
debt and $69 million of cash on hand at 30 June 2022.  We are 
focused on finding opportunities to deploy this capital towards 
value-accretive investments.

During the year, we further deepened our long-term 
relationships with our key OEM partners and strengthened our 
leadership team with several important executive appointments.

With an exit ARR of $119.3 million at the year end, the business 
has positive momentum and we are well positioned to capitalise 
on further growth opportunities in FY23.

Key trends

This is a very exciting time to be in the automotive sector 
that is transitioning to a future of increased mobility. The 
industry is rapidly evolving, enabled by advanced vehicle 
technologies and digital lifestyle convergence. Industry 
participants are jostling to secure their positions and to 
gain their share of this growing market. We have identified 
five key trends which we believe are currently shaping the 
industry and supporting our future growth strategy.

•  Electric Vehicles (EV): EV model adoption is growing in 
key markets. Dealers need to invest in technology to 
remain relevant to customers who expect a seamless 
and convenient experience. 

•  Connected Car: As connected driving increases, data 
volumes from vehicles are growing exponentially. 
However OEMs face challenges analysing and leveraging 
this information to improve customer communication 
during the service lifecycle. 

•  Dealer Agency Model: Global OEMs aim to increase their 
control of the entire customer journey as dealerships 
transition to being brand experience hubs. 

•  Data-Driven Marketing: With more customer  

interactions being digital during the customer lifecycle, 
OEMs and dealers are increasingly looking for data-
driven approaches to marketing that enables  
one-to-one, personalised, relevant communication  
with vehicle owners. 

•  Fragmented Market: The market consists of many 
vendors of “point-to-point” technology solutions  
across the retail automotive ecosystem. OEMs and 
dealers generally lack consistent customer  
insights to drive dealer efficiency and customer 
retention programs.

As an established, reputable and trusted global partner 
to both OEMs and dealers, Infomedia is well positioned to 
capitalise on these trends in the years to come.  

We are already seeing encouraging early signs of success 
with Infodrive’s growth in Americas and EMEA, and 
SimplePart’s expansion into Asia Pacific and EMEA. We see 
attractive potential for additional M&A opportunities that 
can add new capabilities, strengthen our solutions and 
expand our presence in key growth markets.

A Message from the CEO

A new vision

My first 90 days as CEO were incredibly busy and fulfilling.  
When meeting with customers, it was most valuable to discuss 
their future strategic roadmaps and to identify areas where 
Infomedia can support them with their goals.

With the return of local and international travel, I took the 
opportunity to visit all of Infomedia’s offices in order to 
personally meet our global team members. I am encouraged by 
the team’s experience, talent and enthusiasm.

During our three-day internal summit, the global Infomedia 
leadership team established a new strategic roadmap for the 
Company and identified a range of growth opportunities and 
“operational excellence” initiatives, many of which are already 
being implemented.  

We also developed a new vision and positioning for the Company, 
being “Empowering the data-driven automotive ecosystem”, 
significantly expanding our prior vision which focused solely 
on parts and service software. The pivot ensures Infomedia is 
ready to harness, enrich and leverage the abundance of new 
connected data in the mobility era. 

I believe that structural shifts in the automotive industry provide 
growth opportunities for Infomedia to capture, beyond our 
traditional parts and service segments. We intend to expand 
our global Dealership Management System integrations and 
enhance our SaaS and DaaS solutions to enable consistent, 
measurable and profitable solutions across the full vehicle and 
customer lifecycle.

Accelerate growth and embed operational excellence

Our focus on profitable growth includes a range of initiatives 
targeting both our top-line and cost structure, including:

•  Enhancing our solution portfolio with data-driven features 

to power digital customer experience across the vehicle and 
customer lifecycle

•  Driving cross-selling and upselling opportunities based on our  

long-term customer partnerships

•  Accelerating global market development to new OEMs 

and National Sales Companies, focusing primarily on the 
US and EMEA

•  Leveraging our existing Microcat and Superservice data 
assets to accelerate DaaS opportunities with third party 
industry participants

•  Expanding our global footprint for Infodrive and 
SimplePart with focused business development 

•  Further investing in acquisitions to strengthen and 

enhance our solution ecosystem

At the cost level, our key operational excellence  
initiatives include: 

•  Exploring global offshoring opportunities

•  Implementing IT and cloud infrastructure efficiencies

•  Increasing the automation of our data ingestion and 

augmentation processes

•  Improving our internal processes and systems for 

enhanced operating efficiency

•  Seeking improvements in our R&D and customisation costs

•  Fostering an enhanced performance culture to drive 
accountability, 360-degree feedback and learning

Thank you

I would like to express my appreciation to all of our 
employees and our valued customers for your warm 
welcome and continuing support. Infomedia has a great 
team of people around the world who are passionate about 
our success. I am looking forward to working together with 
you all in the year ahead as we drive the business forward.  

I also want to thank Infomedia’s Board for placing their 
trust in me to drive the next chapter of growth for the 
Company, and Jim Hassell for his leadership as Interim 
CEO and the comprehensive handover and transition.

Financial and operating overview

Infomedia reported revenue of $120.1 million for FY22, compared to $97.4 million pcp, representing strong growth of 23% in a

Revenue (ARR) remains strong, with an exit ARR of $119.3 million at 30 June 2022.

faster than revenue reflecting positive operating leverage.

results for 1 month), total revenue in FY22 was $103.5 million, up 8% from $96.1 million pcp, and Underlying Cash EBITDA was 
$21.3 million, up 13% from $18.9 million pcp. This demonstrates Infomedia’s positive operating leverage on an organic basis. 

Reported net profit after tax (NPAT) was $8.2 million, down 48% pcp. NPAT was impacted by $14 million in non-cash 
depreciation and amortisation and other non-operating items such as including the expensing of earnouts during the period 
on the successful Nidasu and SimplePart acquisitions.  

Free cash flow (cash generated from operating activities after capital expenditure and capitalised development costs) 
increased by 79% in FY22 to $22.1 million in FY22.  

During the year, Infodrive delivered solid growth capitalising on the increasing demand for data and insights solutions from our 
customers. The SimplePart acquisition is on track and delivered a pleasing first full year contribution with new e-commerce 
contracts signed across each of our three regions. 

Infomedia’s strong balance sheet, with $69 million cash on hand and no debt, enables the Company to continue to pursue its 
successful acquisition strategy in our identified key growth regions.

Infomedia pursues its financial and strategic objectives to deliver sustainable, long-term performance for Infomedia’s 
shareholders by leveraging its intuitive SaaS applications, rich and growing data assets, automotive domain knowledge and 
long-term relationships with global OEMs, NSCs and their dealer network. The Company is governed by four core values aligned 
to its objective of becoming the leading SaaS and DaaS solution provider to the global retail automotive industry.

Infomedia is pivoting to a new enhanced vison for the business, to capitalize on key industry trends that open a larger market 
opportunity for solutions across the vehicle and customer lifecycle. Infomedia is well positioned to leverage its rich data assets 
in solving complex customer experience problems in the Mobility era. Infomedia has identified the following key industry trends:

•  ELECTRIC VEHICLES: EV model adoption is growing in key markets. Dealers will need to invest in technology to remain 

relevant to customers who expect a seamless and convenient customer experience.

•  CONNECTED CAR: As connected driving increases, data volumes from vehicles are growing exponentially, however OEMs 

face challenges to analyze and leverage this information to improve customer communication during the service lifecycle.

•  DEALER AGENCY MODEL: Global OEMs aim to increase control of the entire customer journey as dealerships transition to 

being brand experience hubs. Infomedia is well positioned as a trusted partner to both OEMs and dealers.

•  DATA-DRIVEN MARKETING: With more customer interactions being digital during the customer lifecycle, automakers and 
dealers are looking for data-driven approach to marketing that enables 1:1 person-based, relevant communication with 
vehicle owners.

•  FRAGMENTED MARKET: The market consists of many vendors of ‘point to point’ technology solutions across the retail 
automotive ecosystem – OEMs and dealerships lack the consistent customer insights to drive dealer efficiency and 
customer retention programs. 

Technology is transforming vehicle innovation, dealer efficiency, and customer expectations. OEMs, dealers, suppliers, and 
industry stakeholders are evolving to pursue total brand experience by capturing the abundance of information available in an 
increasingly connected world. 

Infomedia is evolving its product strategy by focusing on development of a SaaS and DaaS solution ecosystem to add value 
across the vehicle and customer lifecycle. This ecosystem approach also enables Infomedia to leverage the rich data-assets 
to serve third party industry partners with DaaS solutions who require accurate and timely VIN-precise information. Infomedia 
continues to accelerate data opportunities and drive cross and up-sell opportunities based on our long-term customer 
partnerships globally.

Outlook

Infomedia has strong ARR momentum and is actively pursuing new and exciting growth opportunities. With a global footprint 
and portfolio of data rich solutions, Infomedia is well placed to deliver revenue in the range of $131 million to $139 million in 
FY23. Infodrive and SimplePart solutions are expected to contribute with double digit growth in FY23. 

An additional focus of the new leadership team will be on well-defined operational excellence initiatives which are expected to 
improve Underlying Cash EBITDA in FY23 and beyond.

2. Remuneration governance
The Report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Accounting Standard 
AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures. The term ‘remuneration’ as used in this Report has the same meaning as ‘compensation’ 
as defined in AASB 124.

Report preparation

Committee members 

Committee responsibilities

The Remuneration, People & Culture Committee (the ‘RPC Committee’) of the Board presents this Report on 
behalf of the Company.

The RPC Committee comprised the following three Non-Executive Directors during the period: Kim Anderson 
(Committee Chair), Anne O’Driscoll and Bart Vogel.

The RPC Committee is responsible for reviewing and determining remuneration arrangements for the  
Non-Executive Directors and the Executive KMP. The Committee is also charged with responsibility to assist 
and advise the Board to fulfil its duties on matters relating to:

• the composition and quantum of remuneration, bonuses, incentives and remuneration issues relating to 

Executive KMP and other senior management personnel;

• policies relating to remuneration, incentives and superannuation for all employees;

• remuneration of Non-Executive Directors; and

• other matters as required.

The Committee operates in accordance with its charter, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website 
at: https://www.infomedia.com.au/investors/corporate-governance/remuneration-committee-charter/ 

a. External remuneration advisory services

The RPC Committee, subject to Board approval, directly engages with and considers market remuneration data from external 
remuneration consultants as required. 

The Committee engaged with EY during FY21 to review and refine the Company’s long-term incentive structure for Executive 
KMP and senior management personnel. The Committee implemented these refinements in conjunction with the issue of  
long-term incentives in FY22. No remuneration recommendations as defined by the Corporations Act 2001 were provided by EY.

b. Prior year Remuneration Report – AGM outcome

The Company’s FY21 Remuneration Report was approved at the 2021 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) with 78.83% of votes cast 
in favour of the resolution. No comments were made on the Remuneration Report at the meeting.

3. Executive KMP

a. Remuneration philosophy and structure

The Company’s remuneration framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and shareholder 
returns. The performance of the Company relies upon the quality of its Directors and executives to lead the organisation.  
The Company must attract, motivate and retain skilled Directors and executives to deliver on key strategic goals. 
Compensation must be competitive, appropriate for the results delivered, and aligned with shareholder outcomes. 

The Company’s core values, key strategies and purpose are key considerations when designing and implementing the 
executive remuneration framework. 

During the reporting period the Company applied the following philosophy when setting its remuneration framework.

Table 2: Executive KMP remuneration structure

Remuneration Type

Note 1

Remuneration Description, Philosophy, Strategy and Performance Measures

Fixed Remuneration

40%

Fixed remuneration comprises base salary and superannuation paid in cash at regular intervals.

Fixed remuneration is set at market levels to attract and retain executive KMP with the necessary skills, 
experience, and talent to pursue the organisation’s strategic goals.

STIs reward financial year performance and achievement of goals linked to the short and medium-term 
strategic objectives of the Company. 

The Board sets appropriate short-term goals and objectives for the Executive KMP at the commencement 
of each financial year. 

25%

The goals and objectives are both financial and non-financial in nature and are aligned to the  
organisational strategy and creation of shareholder value.

STIs are calculated based on financial year outcomes and paid in cash in the following financial year. 

LTIs reward executive KMP performance over an extended period of time. 

The objective of LTIs is to link executive remuneration with the delivery of sustained revenue and  
earnings per share returns for shareholders over a three-year period. 

LTIs are granted in the form of Performance Rights (PRs) and Share Appreciation Rights (SARs) which are 
convertible to shares, subject to achievement of performance goals.

35%

The intrinsic value of SARs and PRs changes dependent on the Company’s share price thereby aligning 
executive and shareholder interests.

LTIs are granted subject to three-year performance periods and vest subject to performance measured 
by compound annual growth rates on prior year earnings per share.

Notes to Table 2

(1) The remuneration mix is indicative of the overall philosophy and varies slightly between remuneration elements for the Executive KMP. The remuneration mix applies 

in respect of maximum potential remuneration or the ‘total remuneration package’.

Notes to Table 3

(1)  Executive contracts are ongoing with no specified end dates.

(2)  The CEO & MD was provided with a sign-on bonus to attract and retain a candidate of his calibre. The bonus is structured in the form of Equity Bonus Plan Rights 
divided into 3 tranches of equal value vesting on the first 3 anniversaries of the commencement date and expiring on 31 December 2025. The bonus structure 
achieves the purpose of attraction whilst the deferred equity component ensures greater alignment with shareholder interests. See Table 9: Executive KMP  
Retention Incentives below.

Contract duration

Month-to-month casual engagement with no fixed term until appointment of a permanent CEO and MD.

Remuneration package

$71,250 per month inclusive of superannuation, in addition to ordinary non-executive director fees.
No STIs or LTIs are awarded given the interim nature of the role.

Independence and ongoing 
role as Director

During this interim appointment, Mr Hassell was deemed to be a non-independent director in line with the 
applicable governance standards. Accordingly, during the interim appointment, Mr Hassell stepped down from 
the Audit and Risk Committee and Nominations Committee. He also stepped down as Chairman of the Technology 
and Innovation Committee but remained a member of that Committee as permitted by the charter.

Despite being technically exempt from election as acting MD, Mr Hassell continued to stand for election at the 
Company’s 2021 AGM. As a further commitment to corporate governance and shareholder rights, the Board 
intends that Mr Hassell will resubmit himself for election at the 2022 AGM.

Despite Mr Hassell’s technical classification as a non-independent director during the interim appointment, the 
Board continue to regard Mr Hassell as an independent non-executive director after completion of the interim 
CEO role. Further information about Mr Hassell’s status as an independent non-executive director is set out in 
the Company’s 2022 Governance Report which is available at:

(1)  Stretch targets apply to financial objectives only. Despite the stretch targets, the total maximum potential STI achievement is capped at 100% of the CEO & MD 

and the CFOs’ STI opportunities.

(2)  Revenue growth targets were achieved at 98% (FY21: 95%). 

(3)  Underlying cash EBITDA targets were achieved at 90% (FY21 Cash EBITDA: 99%).

(4)  The outcome shown in the table represents the blended score achieved across several non-financial goals. Payment is made based on achievements  

against individual goals. The figure recorded in the table represents a blended average across all assigned goals and is not indicative of a payout below  
targeted performance. 

(5)  The current CFO’s maximum potential STI of $200,000 has been prorated for his commencement date of 16 August 2021 being later than the start of the  

financial year.

(6)  The current CEO & MD did not qualify for STIs in FY22 due to his commencement date of 23 May 2022. The former Executive KMP did not qualify for STIs in FY22 

due to their resignations.

(7)  The scope of disclosure made regarding Executive KMP performance targets is limited as the Board has formed the view that disclosure of further detail would 
result in unreasonable prejudice to the entity by signalling key strategies to competitors, suppliers and/or customers, thereby strengthening those parties’  
position relative to the Company.

e. Long term incentives (LTIs)

Key purpose 

Participants

Program design

The purpose of the LTI program is to link Executive KMP performance with long term shareholder wealth creation 
whilst aligning it with the company strategy. 

Executive KMP participate in the LTI scheme described in the Report. Other senior management personnel are also 
eligible to participate in the LTI scheme.

The Executive KMP LTI program was devised in consultation with external remuneration consultants in 2019 to  
replace the Company’s former LTI framework. The Company continually reassesses the relevance and  
effectiveness of its remuneration programs and the Company implemented several refinements in FY22 to  
enhance the link between remuneration and achievement of the Company’s strategic long-term objectives  
and delivery of shareholder returns. These amendments are reflected in the LTI terms below. 

Performance hurdles 

The Company uses a combination of Revenue and Earnings Per Share (‘EPS’) targets to directly link incentive 
outcomes with shareholder value creation. The dual goals encourage management to grow top line revenue whilst 
maintaining adequate cost controls to deliver strong net profit after tax results. The compounding nature of these 
metrics year on year provides a rigorous metric and a sound growth proposition for shareholders. 

Governance mechanisms  Share Trading Policy: 

The Company maintains a formal Share Trading Policy. The policy prohibits trading based on insider information 
and limits the ability of Restricted Persons to trade in the Company’s shares to several short trading windows  
following the release of half year and full year financial results and following the Annual General Meeting.  
The policy also prohibits short term or speculative trading.

Prohibition against hedging: 

Additionally, the Company’s Performance Rights & Option Plan Rules prohibit Plan participants from entering into 
hedging arrangements to limit the risk of their variable LTI component. 

Minimum shareholding 
requirement

Senior management are encouraged to hold shares in the Company, however there is no requirement on Executive 
KMP to hold a minimum quantity of the Company’s shares at any time. 
For further detail see Table 12: KMP shareholding interest movements in accordance with section 205G of the  
Corporations Act 2001.

Directors’ Report

Remuneration Report – Audited (Continued)

FY22 Long Term Incentives

General terms  
of issue

LTIs are issued subject to the terms of the Company’s ongoing Equity Plan Rules (as amended from time to time).

LTIs are granted to Executive KMP as 50% Performance Rights (PRs) and 50% Share Appreciation Rights (SARs).

LTIs are granted to Executive KMP for nil consideration and no strike price is payable upon exercise. 

LTI vesting is subject to the performance measures described below and continued employment of the Executive KMP 
until the vesting date subject to the Company’s ‘good leaver’ provisions in the Equity Plan Rules.

Unvested LTIs will lapse and be forfeited if the performance measures are not met.

The Plan provides for Board discretion to adjust the performance measures for non-trading items as well as other 
items affecting underlying earnings.

Executive KMP may exercise vested LTIs up to 4 years after the date of grant. After that time, unexercised LTIs will 
lapse and be forfeited.

The Board retains a broad discretion as to how vested and exercised LTI entitlements may be settled, including by the 
payment of cash instead of issuing shares.

Shares realised from the LTI scheme are not subject to specific post exercise disposal restrictions other than those set 
out in the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.

The LTI scheme is subject to appropriate malus provisions entitling the Board, at its discretion, to pursue remedies 
where the participant has engaged in (among other things) fraud, dishonesty or gross misconduct. Remedies include 
the ability to suspend, reduce or extinguish outstanding entitlements in appropriate circumstances.

No dividends or voting rights are attached to the LTIs.

LTIs are subject to tax which is outside the scope of PAYE deductions made by the Company.

Reference Price means the 20-day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) calculation on the Company’s share price 
up to and including 30 June 2021. See Table 8: Executive KMP LTIs and performance measures below.

Performance rights (‘PRs’)

Share appreciation rights (‘SARs’)

Calculation  
methodology 

The number of PRs allocated will be calculated by 
dividing 50% of the total ‘LTI Award Opportunity’ by the 
Reference Price.

Rights on vesting  
and exercise

Each vested PR entitles the Executive KMP upon exercise 
to receive one fully paid ordinary Company share.

The number of SARs to be allocated will be determined 
using a Cox-Ross Rubinstein lattice valuation model,  
applying the estimated value of the SARs at 30 June 2021, 
as determined by an independent qualified valuer. 

The number of SARs allocated will be calculated by 
dividing 50% of the total ‘LTI Award Opportunity’ by their 
estimated fair value.

Each vested SAR entitles the Executive KMP to receive 
the benefit of share price growth over the period between 
grant and exercise. Upon exercise Executive KMP receive 
such number of shares as determined by the following 
calculation: 

( (SAR End Price - Reference Price)
x Number of SARs)

SAR End Price
= Number of Shares Vested + Outperformance Award

Where: 

• SAR End Price means the 5-day Volume Weighted 

Average Price of the Company’s shares up to the day of 
exercise; and

• Outperformance Award: See Table 8: Executive KMP LTIs 

and performance measures below.

Exercise period

Subject to the Plan Rules and the Company’s policies, 
Vested PR’s may be exercised at any time after vesting, 
up to expiry of the PRs which occurs automatically 4 
years after the date of grant. After that time, unexercised 
Rights and SARs will lapse and be forfeited. 

Subject to the Plan Rules and the Company’s Securities 
Trading Policy; Vested SARs may only be exercised during 
the defined periods. 

Un-exercised SARs cannot be exercised after the last exercise 
period and will subsequently lapse on the Expiry Date.

f. Retention incentives - Equity Bonus Plan Rights (EBPRs)

FY22 Retention Incentives

General terms  
of issue

A new “Equity Bonus Plan” unquoted security class was registered with the Australian Stock Exchange  
(ASX code: IFMAL) during the year.

EBPRs are issued subject to the terms of the Company’s ongoing Equity Bonus Plan Scheme Rules 2020 Edition.

The number of entitlements is determined by dividing the Quantum of Award by a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) 
calculation on the Company’s share price as specified in each offer.

EBPRs are granted to Executive KMP for nil consideration and no strike price is payable upon exercise.

EBPRs vest at specified dates for each issue of EBPRs. 

Vested EBPRs may be exercised subject to the recipients’ continuing employment at the time of exercise.  
No other exercise conditions apply to the EBPRs.

EBPRs expire at specified dates. Unexercised EBPRs will lapse and be forfeited after the specified expiry dates.

Exercised EBPRs entitle the recipient to 1 fully paid ordinary share in the Company per EPBR.

The Board retains a discretion to cash settle any vested EBPRs instead of issuing shares.

Shares realised from EBPRs are not subject to any disposal restrictions but are governed by the Company’s Securities 
Trading Policy and the law.

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.

Non-audit services

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
are outlined in note 23 to the financial statements.

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

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 23 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

•   all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of 

the auditor; and

•   none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code 

of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, 
acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Auditor’s independence declaration

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

Rounding of amounts

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

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

FY22 Financial Report

Infomedia Ltd 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2022 

Note 1. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable segments 

The Group is organised into three reportable segments: 
●
●
●

Asia Pacific;
Europe, Middle East and Africa ('EMEA'); and
Americas, representing the combined North, Central and South America.

These reportable segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Executive Officer & Managing 
Director (who is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the 
allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of reportable segments. 

The reportable segments are identified by management based on the region in which products are sold. Discrete financial information 
about each of these operating segments is reported to the Board of Directors regularly. 

The CODM reviews underlying cash earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ('Underlying Cash EBITDA'). The 
accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. 

Major customers 

There is no significant reliance on any single customer contract. 

Presentation of reportable segment information 

The Group has changed its internal reporting measures monitored by the CODM to assess performance and determine allocation of 
resources. In addition, the Group has changed its presentation of expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss (note 24). 
Accordingly, the presentation of reportable segment information has changed to reflect this. Prior period comparatives have been re-
presented to align to these changes. There is no impact on net profit after tax reported for the Group as a result of these changes. 

The key internal measure of each operating segment’s profit or loss reported regularly to the CODM is underlying cash EBITDA. This 
measure reflects the ongoing or underlying activities of each segment of the Group and excludes income and expenditure that may 
arise on an infrequent basis or due to activities that are not core to that of the Group. Only costs that are controlled by each segment 
in relation to its operating activities and generation of revenue for the Group are included in its underlying cash EBITDA.  

Reported net profit after tax (‘reported NPAT’) is adjusted for the following non-underlying items to determine underlying cash 
EBITDA: 

●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●

Earnout expenses (adjusted from employee benefits expenses)
Unrealised foreign exchange gains/losses
Share-based payment expenses (adjusted from employee benefits expenses)
PPP loan forgiveness
Income tax benefit/expense
Depreciation and amortisation expenses
Net finance expenses/income
Capitalised development costs (adjusted from employee benefits expenses)
AASB 16 non-cash adjustments (adjusted from facilities expenses)
Closure of subsidiary (adjusted from marketing and other expenses)
M&A and sale transaction expenses (adjusted from marketing and other expenses)

A reconciliation of underlying cash EBITDA to reported NPAT is disclosed in the operating segment information presented below.

The weighted average number of ordinary shares or dilutive potential ordinary shares is calculated by taking into account the period 
from the issue date of the shares to the reporting date unless otherwise stated as below. 

(a)

Infomedia  operates  equity  based  incentive  plans  which  are  conditional  upon  continuous  employment  at  Infomedia.  Additional
details about the equity based incentives are set out in note 19.

(b) As at 30 June 2022, the earnout liability recognised on the statement of financial position had no dilutive impact.

Accounting policy for earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Infomedia by the weighted average number 
of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for any bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the 
financial year and excluding treasury shares. 

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

The Group derives the majority of its revenue from recurring ‘software as a service’ subscriptions, where customers are licensed to 
access and use software and associated support services. 

The Group generates revenue through the following streams of revenue: 

●
●

●
●

subscriptions to the Group’s software products, comprising over 95% of total revenue;
software development services to tailor off-the-shelf software solutions for specific use or functionality requirements or integration
with customers’ systems;
ancillary services in the form of software installation and training; and
agency services for advertising support provided to customers.

Each of the above services delivered to customers are considered separate performance obligations even though, in practice, they 
may be governed by a single legal contract with the customer.

Note 4. Income and expenses (continued) 

Revenue recognition for each of the above revenue streams are as follows: 

●

Subscription revenue:

˃  Customers are typically invoiced monthly, quarterly or yearly based on the terms in the contract with customers, and
    consideration is payable when invoiced. The consideration received for quarterly or yearly invoices is recognised as 
    contract liabilities. 
˃  Revenue is then recognised ratably over the life of the subscription agreement beginning when the customer first has access 
    to the software. 
˃  Revenue is calculated based on the number of subscriptions used and fee per subscription, or as a negotiated package for 
    large customers. 

●

Software development services:

˃  The software development services are typically invoiced as defined in the contract with the customers. Revenue is

recognised over time as services are delivered.

˃  Revenue is calculated based on time and/or external supplier costs.

●

Ancillary services:

˃  The ancillary services are software installation and training and are invoiced as defined in the contract with the
    customers. 
˃  Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time depending on how the terms of the service arrangements 

  are satisfied. 

●

Agency services:

˃  Revenue is generated when Infomedia acts as an agent and arranges search engine marketing provided by suppliers to
    customers, and in return obtains a fee based on a set percentage. 
˃  The revenue is variable and is not subject to material constraints hence it is recognised at the time the expense is incurred 
    with the supplier as this is when the service is provided to the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied. 

Foreign currency translation 

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Infomedia's functional and presentation currency. 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at 
financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. 
The revenue and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using monthly average exchange rates, which 
approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in 
other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. 

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of. 

Finance costs 

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

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the 
provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which 
the ultimate tax determination is uncertain, for example, research and development claims. The Group recognises liabilities for 
anticipated tax based on the Group's current understanding of the relevant tax regulations. Where the final tax outcome of these 
matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in 
which such determination is made. 

The Company has made claims under the research and development tax incentive provided by the Australian Government (R&D 
incentive). The R&D incentive is claimed by way of self-assessment by the Company. 

Accounting policy for income tax 

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income 
tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, 
unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, 
based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted. 

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

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

The Group considers the relationship between its market capitalisation and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for 
indicators of impairment.  

Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets 

Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets acquired through business combinations have been allocated to a cash-generating unit 
(CGU) for annual impairment testing as follows:

To conduct impairment testing, the Group compares the carrying value with the recoverable amount of each CGU. The recoverable 
amount is the higher of value in use or fair value less costs of disposal. An income approach (discounted cash flow methodology) is 
used to determine the recoverable amount of each CGU based on a four-year approved plan (2021: one-year approved plan) and 
an average growth rate applied to the final year of cash-flow projections.  

The key assumptions1 used in the impairment assessment were as follows:

●

●

●

APAC: revenue growth rates in the projection period are 8% - 16% (2021: 6% - 15%); terminal growth rate of 2.5% (2021:
1.5%) and post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 10.1% (2021: 11.0%).
Americas: revenue growth rates in the projection period are 8% - 17% (2021: 3% - 65%2); terminal growth rate of 2.5% (2021:
2.0%) and post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 10.6% (2021: 10.7%).
EMEA: revenue growth rates in the projection period are 5% - 11% (2021: 3% - 10%); terminal growth rate of 2.5% (2021:
1.5%) and post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 10.6% (2021: 10.5%).

As at 30 June 2022, the fair value less costs of disposal (2021: value in use) of the net assets was greater than the carrying value 
and therefore goodwill was not considered to be impaired for any CGU.

No reasonable change in assumptions would result in the recoverable amount being materially less than the carrying amount for any 
CGU. 

1 Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount is most sensitive. The approach taken in determining the values assigned to each key 
assumption was to consider past experience, external sources of information and external advice where relevant.
2 Note that the high revenue growth rate in 2021 was attributable to 12 months contribution of SimplePart (only one month in FY21).

Other intangible assets 

An impairment charge of $0.087 million has been applied to the carrying amount of capitalised development costs as a result of the 
relevant project being discontinued.  

As at 30 June 2021, an impairment charge of $0.352 million was as a result of:

●

●

a write-off of the carrying value of any software that was replaced by Next Gen SaaS platform during the period ended 30 June
2021; and
an impairment assessment of future revenue against the carrying amount of development capitalised for customers who are not
expected to renew their contracts.

 Note 6. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued) 

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions – research and development 

Research and development expenses incurred relate to works provided by third parties and internal salaries and on-costs of 
employees. Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is 
probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility, and the costs can be measured reliably. 

The key judgements relate to: 

●

●

determining the portion of the internal salary and on-costs that are directly attributable to development of the Group’s product suite
and software; and
identifying and assessing the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset and generating future economic benefits.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the development asset exceeds its recoverable amount. 

The Group determines the estimated useful lives for the capitalised development costs. The useful lives could change significantly as 
a result of technical innovations or some other event. The amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than 
previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or items no longer in use will be written off or written down. 

Accounting policy for intangible assets 

Goodwill 

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

Capitalised development costs 

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Capitalised development costs represent the up-front costs of 
developing new products or enhancing existing products to meet customer needs. Development costs are capitalised when it is 
probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the Group is able to use or sell the 
asset; the Group has sufficient resources and intent to complete the development; and its costs can be measured reliably. The Group 
considers the impact of the April 2021 IFRIC agenda decision 'Configuration or Customisation Costs in Cloud Computing 
Arrangement' when determining if costs relating to cloud computing arrangements are capitalisable. 

Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their estimated 
finite useful life of four to five years. 

Software systems 

Software systems acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, 
being their estimated finite useful life of four to five years. 

Customer relationships 

Customer relationships acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected 
benefit, being their estimated finite useful life of three to nine years. 

Brand names 

Brand names acquired in a business combination are capitalised as an asset. The brand is recognised as having a useful life of four years 
to infinite when there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the brand is expected to generate cash flows. Brand names are 
carried at cost less accumulated impairment amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

 Note 6. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued) 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

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

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

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions - allowance for expected credit losses 

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

Accounting policy for trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables are recognised at fair value and are generally due for settlement within 30 to 60 days. 

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

Accounting policy for right-of-use assets 

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

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

Accounting policy for lease liabilities 

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

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

Note 10. Leases (continued) 

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions - Lease term 

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

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions - Incremental borrowing rate 

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

Accounting policy for provisions 

Provisions are recorded for estimated make-good expenses for the Group’s leased properties. The provision is an estimate of costs 
for property remediation that is expected to be required in the future. 

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

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

Other long-term employee benefits 

The liability for long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is measured at the present value 
of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. 

Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. 
Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to 
maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in proportion to the 
number of shares held, taking into account amounts paid on those shares. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the 
Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. Each member represented at a general meeting, whether in person or 
by proxy, shall have one vote on a show of hands. Each share carries one vote upon a poll.  

Treasury shares held in trust 

Treasury shares are ordinary shares of the Company purchased on market by the trustee of the Infomedia Employee Share Scheme 
Trust. The treasury shares are held on trust for the purpose of meeting future obligations in connection with the Company's long term 
employee incentive scheme. Trust shares are allocated or transferred to recipients upon vesting and exercise of long-term incentives. 
Further details about the Company's long term incentives are set out in note 19 to these financial statements. 

Capital risk management 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue its 
listing on the Australian Securities Exchange, provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital 
to shareholders, issue new shares and take on borrowings. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2021 Annual Report.

Accounting policy for issued capital 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the 
proceeds. 

Note 14. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit 
risk and liquidity risk. 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the 
Board'). These policies include the identification and analysis of both the risk exposure of the Group as well as the appropriate 
procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks where appropriate. Finance reports to the 
Board on a regular basis. 

The Group uses various methods to measure different risk types, including sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risk and aging 
analysis for credit risk. 

Market risk 

Foreign currency risk 

The Group operates and trades in three major economic currency regions (Asia Pacific; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and 
Americas, including North America and Latin and South Americas); and as a result, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. 
These exposures mainly arise from the subscriptions for the Group’s products and to a lesser extent the associated costs relating to 
these products. As the Group’s product offerings are typically made on a recurring monthly subscription basis, there is a relatively 
high degree of reliability in estimating a proportion of future net cash flow exposures. 

In addition to the transactional sale of products, the Group’s investment in both its European and United States subsidiaries, the 
Group’s statement of financial position can be affected by movements in both the Euro ('EUR') and United States dollar ('USD') 
against the Australian dollar ('AUD'), with a corresponding impact to the foreign currency reserve in equity. 

The carrying value of foreign currency denominated cash and cash equivalents are as follows: 

United States Dollars (USD) 
European Union Euros (EUR) 
British Pounds (GBP)

The Group had cash denominated in foreign currencies of $29.515 million as at 30 June 2022 (2021: $24.203 million). Based on this 
exposure, had the Australian dollar weakened or strengthened by 10% against these foreign currencies with all other variables held 
constant, the impact to the Group's profit after tax for the year would have been as follows:

The percentage change is the expected overall volatility of the significant currencies, based on management's assessment of 
reasonable possible fluctuations. The actual foreign exchange gain for the year ended 30 June 2022 was $0.731 million (30 June 
2021: loss of $0.126 million).

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The 
maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for 
impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. 

Credit risk of the Group mainly arises from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. 

The cash and cash equivalents are placed with major banks in those countries where the Group operates and therefore the credit risk 
is minimal. 

The Group’s trade receivables credit risk is spread broadly across automotive manufacturers, distributors and dealerships. Receivable 
balances are continually monitored with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant. As the products typically 
have a monthly life cycle with relatively low subscription prices, the concentration of credit risk is relatively low with the exception of 
automotive manufacturers.  

Since the Group trades only with recognised third parties, collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade 
and other receivables. The aging analysis as disclosed in note 7 shows that majority of the Group’s trade receivables are within the 
normal credit term and the receivables impairment loss is immaterial. 

The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use 
of the provisions matrix for credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the Group 
based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available. 

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of 
a debtor to engage in a repayment plan and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year even with active 
debt collection activities. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk of not being able to meet payment obligations as and when they are due and payable. The Group’s exposure 
to liquidity risk is minimal given the relative strength of the statement of financial position and cash flows from operations. Given the 
nature of the Group’s operations and no borrowings, the Group does not have fixed or contractual payments at the reporting date 
other than leases and earnout consideration. 

The contractual maturity of the Group’s financial liabilities are as stated in the statement of financial position and are less than 60 
days.

Note 17. Business combinations 

17(a). Acquisition of SimplePart - For the year ended 30 June 2021 

On 31 May 2021, the Group acquired 100% of the equity in SimplePart, LLC ("SimplePart"). SimplePart is a market leader in digital 
aftersales providing online parts, accessories and service e-commerce solutions that enable automakers and dealers to sell directly to 
consumers. The addition of SimplePart complements Infomedia’s aftersales SaaS platform; enabling Infomedia to offer aftersales e-
commerce solutions to its global customers. 

As at 30 June 2022, the acquisition of SimplePart has been finalised and there were no changes to the provisional purchase price 
accounting disclosed as at 30 June 2021. All of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes in the USA over 15 years. The acquired 
goodwill is attributable mainly to the skills and technical talent of the workforce, the synergies expected to be achieved from 
integrating SimplePart into the Group, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. 

Pursuant to the Members Interest Purchase Agreement, escrow of $7.980 million (USD $6.000 million) and a maximum earnout of 
$27.267 million (USD $20.500 million) may be settled based on future years' actual financial performance of the acquired business 
determined on contractual terms. A key condition of the earnout is that the seller remains employed by Infomedia over the three year 
earnout period, and therefore both the escrow and earnout has been recognised as employee remuneration by the Group. 

For the period from 1 June 2021 to 30 June 2021, SimplePart contributed revenue of $1.306 million and profit before tax ('PBT') of 
$0.154 million to the Group.

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

The consideration is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities 
incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. All 
acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. 

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

Arrangements for contingent payments to selling shareholders are recognised as remuneration for post-combination services where 
the employment of the selling shareholder is a condition precedent for the earn-out to be earned. A liability is raised on a monthly 
basis for the expected contingent payments that will occur at the end of an earnout period. They are accrued equally over the term, if 
the payments are forfeited on termination of employment of the selling shareholders, the liability is released to the profit and loss. 

Liabilities for remuneration benefits expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts 
expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for remuneration benefits not expected to be settled within 12 months of 
the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by 
employees up to the reporting date. 

Arrangements for contingent payments to selling shareholders where there are no conditions precedent related to the employment of 
selling shareholders are recognised as contingent consideration at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair 
value of the contingent consideration classified as a liability are recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as 
equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

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

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

17(b). Re-assessment of Nidasu contingent consideration - For the year ended 30 June 2021 

During the financial year ended 30 June 2021, the Group undertook a re-assessment of its accounting treatment of Nidasu, a 
business combination the Group made in 2019, specifically in relation to the accounting treatment of the earnout payable to the selling 
shareholders who remained employed in the Group. Management concluded that, in accordance with AASB 3 Business 
Combinations paragraph B55(a), the earnout under the accounting standards is considered to be a post-employment benefit that 
should be accounted for as employee benefit expense rather than as contingent consideration payable for the acquired business. 

This re-assessment was not considered to have a material impact on key metrics including net assets and profit before income tax 
expense in the prior period, and consequently the correction of this error has been accounted for in the financial year ended 30 June 
2021 and no restatement has been made in respect of prior periods in accordance with the requirements of AASB 108 Accounting 
Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. 

Accordingly, the contingent consideration liability and the related impact on goodwill and associated deferred tax benefit that were 
recognised at 30 June 2020 were derecognised net of the employee benefits expense that should have been recognised previously. 

The cumulative impact of correcting this error in the prior year is to de-recognise in the statement of financial position: 

●
●

the acquired goodwill by $3.893 million; and
the contingent consideration liability of $3.749 million, which was offset by the recognition of the employee remuneration accrual 
of $1.324 million, a net reversal of $2.425 million.

The net impact of the correction relating to the year ended 30 June 2020 in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income for the year ended 30 June 2021 is reflected in employee benefits expenses and impairment expense and derecognition of 
goodwill expense. 

This adjustment has also impacted the classification of payments made relating to these earnouts in the statement of cash flows 
which has been disclosed as operating activities rather than investing activities.

Note 18. Interests in subsidiaries (continued) 

Transactions with related parties 

There were no transactions with related parties during the current or previous financial year. 

Receivable from and payable to related parties 

There were no trade receivables from or trade payables to related parties at the current and previous reporting date. 

Loans to/from related parties 

There were no loans to or from related parties at the current and previous reporting date.  

Note 19. Share-based remuneration 

The ultimate objective of share-based remuneration is to incentivise and align executives with delivery of long-term shareholder 
value. Long term incentives (LTIs), with appropriate performance hurdles, align participants to the longer-term strategies, goals and 
objectives of the Group, and provide greater incentive for senior employees to have broader involvement and participation in the 
Group beyond their immediate role. Equity participation also assists the Group to attract and retain skilled and experienced senior 
employees. 

The obligations under share-based payment arrangements are settled by either issuing new ordinary shares in the Company or 
acquiring ordinary shares of the Company on market. Alternatively, the Board retains a discretion to settle the arrangements by cash 
in appropriate circumstances. The arrangements are governed by the terms of the Company’s Equity Plan Rules.  

Trading in the Company’s ordinary shares awarded under the share-based remuneration arrangements is governed by the 
Company’s Securities Trading Policy. The policy restricts employees from trading in the Company’s shares when they are in a 
position to be aware, or are aware, of price sensitive information. Certain employees designated by the Company are restricted from 
trading shares outside a defined set of three trading windows per annum which coincide with the Company’s half and full year 
reporting, and the Annual General Meeting. Trading outside these specified windows is prohibited unless Board express approval is 
obtained. 

Executive incentive plan 

The Executive Incentive Plan ('the Plan') forms an integral part of the Group’s remuneration policy. 

The Group provides eligible employees (including key management personnel but excluding non-executive directors) with the 
opportunity to receive short-term incentives in the form of annual cash bonuses and the following long-term and retention incentives in 
the form of the following share based payments:

SARs are tested over a three-year performance period and vest proportionally based on the relevant vesting and performance
criteria for each grant;
Vested SARs may be exercised up to a specified number of years after the grant date;
SARs which do not vest on the relevant testing date automatically lapse;
Upon exercise, the recipient is entitled to receive, for nil consideration, fully paid ordinary shares in Infomedia which are equivalent
to the growth in Infomedia’s share price over the ‘Reference Price’ calculated for that particular grant, multiplied by the number of 
vested SARs. The share price must exceed the Reference Price at the time of exercise;

Accounting policy for share-based payments 

Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, options over shares or rights that are provided to employees in exchange for the 
rendering of services.  

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

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

The total impact for the period arising from equity settled share-based payment transactions is included in note 4.

FY22 Financial Report

Infomedia Ltd 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
 30 June 2022 

Note 24. Basis of preparation and other accounting policies 

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

3 Minna Close 
Belrose, Sydney NSW 2085 

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

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 26 August 2022. The directors 
have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

Basis of preparation 

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

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements have been consistently applied to all the years 
presented, unless otherwise stated. 

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Infomedia Ltd's functional and presentation currency. 

Effective 1 July 2021, the Group changed its accounting policy with respect to how it presents its consolidated statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income, specifically the classification of operating expenses has changed from being presented by 
function to nature. This was done on the basis that the new classification allows the Group to provide more useful information to the 
users of the Group's financial statements. 

Presentation of reportable segment information in note 1 has changed in line with this. 

Impact of the initial application of other new and amended Australian Accounting Standards that are effective and applicable 
for the current year 

In the current year, the Group has applied all amendments to Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the 
Board that are effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 July 2021. Their adoption has not had any material impact on 
the disclosures or on the amounts reported in these financial statements. 

Historical cost convention 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, financial assets and 
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. 

Principles of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Infomedia as at 30 June 2022 and the 
results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. 

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

Reclassification of comparatives 

Certain comparatives have been reclassified to align with current year presentation. These reclassifications have not impacted the net 
profit after tax, basic earnings per share, diluted earnings per share, net assets or net cash flows of the Group. 

Rounding of amounts 

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

Infomedia Ltd 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 24. Basis of preparation and other accounting policies (continued) 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are 
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

Trade and other payables 

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and 
which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are 
unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

Current and non-current classification 

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

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

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

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

Financial assets at amortised cost 

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

Impairment of financial assets 

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

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

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in 
other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the 
asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. 

Reserves 

Share-based payments reserve 
The reserve is used to recognise the value of equity benefits provided to employees as part of their remuneration.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Infomedia Ltd (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the consolidated statement of 
profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  the 
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a 
summary  of  significant  accounting  policies  and  other  explanatory  information,  and  the  directors’  declaration. 

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

•

•

Giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group’s  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2022  and  of  its  financial
performance for the year then ended; and
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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to 
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s 
report. 

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

Key Audit Matters 

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

As at 30 June 2022, the Group’s carrying value of

capitalised  as 
intangibles  totalled  $51.2m  of 
which  $22.3m  is  attributable  to  capitalisation  in

Judgement is involved in determining the 
quantum of labour costs directly attributable to 
develop the Group’s product suite and software.

•

Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 
Enquired with Project Managers involved in
product development to understand and assess
the basis and rationale for capitalising labour costs
associated with key projects;

•

•

•

•

Tested on a sample basis, capitalised labour costs
through reviewing timesheets and held discussions
with staff members outside the finance
department;

Assessed whether all eligible employees are
included, and ineligible employees are excluded in
the calculations, where appropriate;

Challenged management’s key assumptions in the
labour capitalisation calculation through sensitivity
analysis; and

Tested the mathematical accuracy of
management’s labour capitalisation schedule.

We also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosure in 
Note 6 to the financial statements. 

Other Information 

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

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

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in 
doing  so,  consider  whether  the  other  information  is  materially  inconsistent  with  the  financial  report  or  our 
knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have 
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report 
that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

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

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

73

81

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 judgement 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.

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  Group  financial  report.  We  are
responsible  for  the  direction,  supervision  and  performance  of  the  Group’s  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.  

82

74

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance 
in the audit of the financial report of the current period 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.
