About Jumbo

Financial highlights

Jumbo is a digital lottery specialist. We provide our proprietary lottery 
software platforms and lottery management expertise to the charity 
and government lottery sectors in Australia and globally. 

Our mission is to create positive social impact 
through making lotteries easier and our vision 
is to become the number one choice in digital 
lottery and services around the world. 

Our innovative and player-centric approach to digital 
lotteries and online retailing make us the platform of 
choice for more than four million active players and 
more than 14,000 good causes. Our platform and 
superior player experience is scalable and caters for 
causes ranging from local causes to large state lotteries. 

Jumbo was founded by Chief Executive Officer 
(CEO) Mike Veverka in 1995 with a single computer 
and listed the business on the ASX in 1999. Since 
then it has matured into a leading digital lottery 
retailer and lottery software provider with over 250 
employees across Australasia, the United Kingdom 
(UK) and Canada. In FY23, Jumbo helped raise over 
$235m for good causes for our charity partners1.

Message from our Chair

Dear Shareholders

This year, Jumbo has been steadfast in its execution of our long-term growth 
strategy. Lotteries remain a category that has proven resilient to economic 
downturns, even in the current environment of high inflation and interest rates.

Our mission is to create positive social impact

At Jumbo we create positive social impact by 
making lotteries easier. We are conscious of our 
impact on our immediate stakeholders – including 
players, clients, employees and shareholders – and 
proud of the important contribution we make to 
the broader community by making lotteries easier 
for good causes within the charitable sector. 

The essence of our strategy has not changed: we are 
focused on maximising our Lottery Retailing segment in 
Australia and replicating our capabilities and learnings 
into other jurisdictions. Over time, we also aim to 
unlock incremental Total Addressable Market (TAM) 
opportunities by diversifying our propositions and building 
new capabilities in new sectors and geographies. 

Acquiring Stride and StarVale 

Jumbo completed the acquisition of Stride in 
June last year, and now has a strong foothold to 
expand into other Canadian provinces. In November 
2022, we completed the acquisition of StarVale 
to build scale in the UK by complementing our 
Gatherwell business which we bought in 2019.

In October 2022, I took the opportunity to meet with our 
Stride team in Calgary. The time spent accelerated 
my understanding of their local business operations 
and allowed time to get to know our leadership teams 
and discuss execution of their strategic plans. Further 
in June this year, I also met with our StarVale team in 
Lancaster and our Gatherwell team in Manchester. 
With so much time over the prior years spent on 
Zoom meetings, it was truly rewarding to meet our 
extended Jumbo teams on their ‘turf’ and to share our 
vision and to ensure that our Jumbo values are lived 
and breathed. We continue to be impressed by the 
quality and growth potential of these businesses. Their 
regulatory environments are similar to Australia and we 
see significant opportunities to grow in these markets. 

Our performance

FY23 adds another year of solid revenue, earnings 
and cashflow performance to our track record of 
delivering for our shareholders. Despite a 9% reduction 
in the average value per jackpot, Lottery Retailing 
delivered a resilient performance with both revenue 
and EBITDA up marginally. The Group result also 
benefitted from the contribution from Stride and 
StarVale, and disciplined cost management. 

The Board has declared a final ordinary dividend 
of 20.0 cents per share, fully franked. This brings 
the total dividend for FY23 to 43.0 cents per 
share. This reflects a dividend payout ratio of 
85.7% of statutory Net Profit After Tax (NPAT).

Developments in the global lottery sector

The heightened interest in lotteries as an asset class 
continued this year with Aristocrat proposing to acquire 
Neogames in May, following the sale of Scientific 
Games’ lotteries and the demerger of the Tabcorp 
lotteries last year. These developments drive a deeper 
understanding of lotteries as an asset class – and this 
outcome is fundamentally positive for the lottery sector.

Along with Mike and members of our senior 
leadership group, I had the pleasure of attending 
the World Lottery Summit in Vancouver in October 
last year where I took the opportunity to meet with 
the major global operators in the lottery sector. 

I was genuinely humbled by the huge level of 
international respect Jumbo has earned in the 
sector for our best-in-class software and leadership, 
and the strong relationships we have with the 
industry, including The Lottery Corporation. 

Our focus on strong governance

In a regulated industry like ours, strong governance, 
conduct, and ethical behaviour are prerequisites 
for doing business, especially when working 
across multiple jurisdictions, as we do.

In October last year, we realigned responsibilities for 
corporate compliance within the Group and enhanced 
both our legal and internal audit resourcing. 

We are not immune from the heightened scrutiny 
being experienced by the gaming sector, yet 
we are seeing some recognition that lottery 
services, particularly those offered by charitable 
organisations, pose a low risk of societal harm. 

Pleasingly, lottery services are not included in the 
upcoming suite of legislation that proposes to ban the 
use of credit cards for online wagering in Australia and 
ban online gambling advertising across all media. 

Similarly, the measures proposed in the UK 
government’s white paper on modernising 
the UK Gambling Act for the digital age, do not 
significantly affect Jumbo’s existing operations.

“In a regulated industry like ours, strong 
governance, conduct, and ethical 
behaviour are prerequisites for doing 
business, especially when working 
across multiple jurisdictions, as we do.”

While our best-in-class lottery software 
combined with our marketing expertise 
has led to strong active player and 
ticket sales growth over the years, 
our priority is always the welfare of 
our players. Through our world-class 
technology, we deliver a fun and safe, 
industry-leading play experience.

Conclusion

On behalf of the Board, I thank all 
our clients, partners, players and 
shareholders for their trust and ongoing 
support. I sincerely acknowledge the 
entire Jumbo team, including our people 
at Gatherwell, Stride and StarVale, for 
their dedication and commitment 
and for making Jumbo the vibrant 
and innovative company it is today. 
The Board is enthusiastic about the 
opportunities ahead and our ongoing 
ability to create positive social change 
through making lotteries easier.

Sustainability

As a Board, we take a longer-term 
view on Environmental, Social and 
Governance (ESG) topics. Last 
year we released our inaugural 
Sustainability Report (FY22) identifying 
our sustainability priorities, specific 
targets, and timeframes. 

In FY23 we achieved 40% gender 
diversity at both the Board and Group 
level. We also lodged our application 
to Climate Active Certification and 
expect to achieve Climate Active 
Certification for FY2022 imminently. 
Lottery Retailing customer satisfaction of 
89% fell slightly short of the 90% internal 
target we set ourselves, but remains 
well above the industry average.  

In a company first, Jumbo was globally 
recognised as a Great Place to Work 
this year and Jumbo is an attractive 
destination for top technology talent. 
To retain our staff, we offer best in 
class tools, varied and interesting 
projects and a great culture.

Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan 
is endorsed by Reconciliation Australia, 
and we are partnering with external 
cultural educators to raise awareness 
and celebrate First Nations cultures. 
We are proud to showcase local 
Yugambeh artist, Chad Briggs’ artwork 
in this year’s Sustainability Report.  

More than ever, data protection, cyber 
risk and resilience are among the most 
discussed topics around the Board 
table. The executive leadership team 
and Board work closely to stay abreast 
of emerging data security regulation 
and best-practice trends to maintain 
the integrity of our service offering 
and create a safe and trustworthy 
environment where customers can play 
with confidence. We have increased 
the training for Board and Executives 
on cyber matters including the use of 
independent subject matter experts.

Message from our  
CEO and Founder

Dear shareholder

Jumbo started with a single computer in 1995, and we patiently explored 
e-commerce opportunities before finding a niche in digital lotteries in 1999. 

Today we provide our proprietary lottery software 
platforms and lottery-management expertise to 
government and charity lotteries around the world. 
Our mission is to create positive social impact through 
making lotteries easier, and we aim to be the number one 
choice in digital lottery and lottery services globally.

With the acquisitions of Stride and StarVale completed in 
June and November 2022, we have established a strong 
foundation for growth in Canada and the UK. Together 
they add approximately 1.5 million active players to Jumbo 
and in FY23 have contributed $15 million in revenue.

From 100 employees predominantly based in Brisbane in 
2016, we have grown to more than 250 people operating 
across three continents. We still see enormous opportunity for 
growth in digital lotteries based on digital adoption in other 
industries such as banking, music, accommodation, housing 
and car sales. So far, we have only scratched the surface of 
potential demand, especially in the charity lottery sector.

Strong track record of performance

This year our nimble operating model proved its worth. Good 
cost discipline and four Powerball jackpots greater than $100 
million offset the impact of an unfavourable run of jackpots in 
the first and third quarters of FY23, resulting in us exceeding our 
original margin guidance. Both Stride and StarVale delivered 
solid revenue growth on a proforma basis and continue to 
perform in line with our expectations. Our balance sheet 
remains strong. At 30 June 2023, we maintained a healthy cash 
position with approximately $53 million in available liquidity to 
support growth. Together with our existing debt facility of up to 
$47 million, this provides capacity for further strategic growth.

Lottery Retailing

The jackpot environment for FY23 has been volatile to say 
the least. The subdued frequency of large jackpots during 
Q1 and Q3 has caused some of the weakest quarterly 
sales seen for over three years. Conversely, across Q2 
and Q4, there were four jackpots greater than or equal 
to $100 million – a jackpot size that has only happened 
twice previously in Powerball’s 27-year history.

The $160 million Powerball in October 2022 is now our 
best draw to date, with sales exceeding the $120 million 
Powerball in February 2022. We signed up almost ~59,000 
new players and the platform performed exceptionally 
well with 100% uptime. We broke records for signups, 
checkouts and tickets sold per second. This performance 
is testament to our work and focus on building a best-in-

class lottery platform, and the importance of continuing 
to get even better and faster going forward.

Over the last two decades, lotteries, particularly draw-based 
games, are an asset class that has proven to be resilient 
to economic downturns, delivering solid and consistent 
growth. Digital penetration has trended higher over the last 
decade, with strong annual increases since FY2018. Australia 
currently sits at 38.4% digital penetration for lotteries. This 
compares to 45% in the UK and well over 50% in some 
European countries. Our view is that the trend towards 
purchasing lottery tickets online will continue, bringing 
digital lotteries to a broader and younger audience.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

Our SaaS segment provides a software-only solution to 
sizeable clients, such as government and large charity 
lotteries. It continues to grow strongly. We were delighted to 
extend our relationship with Mater Foundation, one of our first 
Powered by Jumbo clients. Under new agreements, Mater 
will continue to use our platform until 2028. Both programs 
have experienced significant growth since transitioning 
onto our platform and have raised much needed funds for 
community benefit. We are working closely with Lotterywest 
to enhance the digital offering in Western Australia.

We still devote most of our engineering effort to Lottery 
Retailing and our existing Australian SaaS clients. The 
Powered by Jumbo platform is powerful, flexible, scalable, 
and optimised for digital channel performance. We are 
confident that our platform and expertise are relevant and 
transferable to government and charity lottery operators 
internationally, although this is likely to be a medium-term 
prospect. Over time, we expect more Stride and StarVale 
lottery clients will utilise Powered by Jumbo to unlock further 
growth, particularly as they increase their scale and become 
more sophisticated in player acquisition and retention. 

Managed Services

Our Managed Services segment provides software 
and additional services such as marketing, customer 
services, and draw management to smaller clients. Since 
acquiring Stride and StarVale in 2022, we have focused on 
integrating them into our operating structure and ensuring 
clear roles and accountabilities for performance.

Stride continues to perform well in its home provinces of 
Alberta and Saskatchewan and recently secured a gaming 
license in British Columbia. Stride has also applied for a 
gaming license in Ontario, the most populous province 

in Canada. With more than three times the population of 
Alberta and Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Ontario are 
compelling opportunities to expand Stride’s client base.

Our focus for StarVale is enhancing business 
development capabilities and identifying synergies 
across Jumbo’s broader UK footprint. The business 
continues to perform well, winning several new clients 
and maintaining an enviable level of client retention.

Gatherwell had a weak year due to the more normalised 
operating conditions after COVID restrictions and delays 
inducting new clients. Following changes to their operating 
model to improve accountabilities and accelerate conversion 
of the pipeline, I’m pleased to see the business has traction with 
active weekly tickets returning to growth in the fourth quarter.

In Australia, we have refined the Jumbo Fundraising operating 
model to focus on the services valued most by our clients: 
our best-in-class lottery software, our sector and regulatory 
knowledge, and our player support. This approach has 
helped Jumbo win new clients including an extension of the 
Paralympics sponsorship and lottery management agreement.

Across our Managed Services clients in the UK, 
Canada and Australia, we are now supporting over 
14,000 charities and good causes, and helping them 
raise important funds to support their mission.

Leadership changes

In mid-July 2023, the company Chief Financial Officer 
(CFO) David Todd advised the Board of his intention to 
resign due to unforeseen personal health reasons. David 
has been with Jumbo for 16 years and will continue in the 
CFO role until a suitable replacement is appointed and a 
smooth transition completed. A comprehensive recruitment 
process is underway, considering both internal and 
external candidates: we expect to announce the new CFO 
in the second quarter of FY2024. The Board, management 
team, and all our staff across Australia, Canada and the 
UK wish him and his family the very best for the future.

Sustainability

While lotteries are technically classified as a gaming product, 
they carry far less risk of harm than other forms of gaming 
such as sports betting, slot machines and online casinos. 
The risk is even lower for charity lotteries where players are 
motivated by supporting good causes and the frequency of 
draws and payouts are lower than for commercial lotteries. 

In FY23 we prioritised the following areas to make 
good progress on our sustainability agenda:
	B Community - we design software platforms and lottery 

management services that minimise the effort required to 
manage a lottery and maximise the funds raised for our 
charity partner’s cause.

	B Players - we ensure our player experience is fun and safe, 
by focusing on player protection measures, including 
responsible play, data protection and cyber resilience.
	B People - we nurture our vibrant workplace culture and 

offer a unique employee value proposition to our talented 
team and the potential employees. We are committed to 
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.

	B Environment - we expect to achieve Climate Active 

Australia accreditation and carbon neutrality using carbon 
offsets, and have reviewed our longer-term environmental 
targets. As a digital lottery specialist, we offer our players a 
means to participate in lotteries in a fun and engaging way 

while minimising our impact on the environment. 

The initiative that I’m especially proud of this year was the 
launch of Jumbo University (JU). The purpose of JU is to support 
our employee’s professional growth by giving them access 
to a market-leading learning platform and empowering 
them to expand their skillset. This helps our staff to grow 
and leads to improved performance, collaboration and 
innovation for Jumbo as a whole. Over time as JU matures, it 
will expand to include ‘Faculties’ specialising in department-
specific curriculums that are core to Jumbo’s success.

Advances in Artificial Intelligence

AI has held a particular fascination for me since I first 
experimented with neural networks in 1995. The potential to 
greatly enhance what software could do was truly exciting. 
However the limited computing power pre-2000 made 
it more science-fiction than a genuinely useful tool.

Fast forward to today and steady progress in software 
design, networking technologies and computing power 
have brought AI closer to reality. In 2017 a breakthrough in 
Large Language Models paved the way for a new breed of 
generative pre-trained transformer models and in 2020 I was 
fortunate enough to be part of the private beta for OpenAI’s 
GPT-3. To say I was excited would be an understatement.

In 3 short years GPT-3 continued to evolve and the latest 
version - ChatGPT - has demonstrated the potential to 
a much wider audience. However with power comes 
responsibility. Just like a pilot needs years of training to 
operate an aircraft safely, AI will need appropriately trained 
operators and regulated safety guardrails to be used safely.

At Jumbo, our engineering team has applied numerous 
technological breakthroughs over the years in a controlled 
manner. The popularisation of the world wide web and 
mobile devices as well as technical breakthroughs 
in server capacity and stability have all played a 
crucial role in our mission to make lotteries easier.

AI will be no different. Machine Learning (a subset of 
AI) has already been in use for the past 3 years and is 
evolving at a rapid rate. Our players are finding the games 
easier to play and our partners are finding lotteries easier 
to administer even as ticket sales continue to rise.

Thank you

In July 2023 we transitioned our teams from a remote-
first to a hybrid work model. It has been great to connect 
with so many of our staff in person and already we have 
observed an uplift in productivity and engagement.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all our 
staff from Stride and StarVale to Jumbo and thank their 
founders, Dean Faithfull and Phil Magleave, for their 
leadership and counsel throughout the transition. I’d also 
like to acknowledge the contribution of our hard-working 
and dedicated Jumbo people to another successful year. 
Finally, we appreciate the confidence of our shareholders 
whose support allows us to invest in making Jumbo the 
number one choice in digital lottery and services globally.

Our strategy

A clear strategy to deliver value for 
all our key stakeholders

Jumbo is on a mission to create positive social impact through 
making lotteries easier. Our vision is to be the number one 
choice in digital lottery and services.

To deliver our strategy and move further towards our vision, we have three key strategic pillars:

	B Maximise the potential of our existing businesses and proposition portfolio, 

particularly the Australian Lottery Retailing segment.

	B Replicate best-practice operations and learnings from Lottery Retailing into our 

other operating segments and build for global scale.

	B Diversify the portfolio to unlock incremental Total Addressable Market (TAM) 

opportunities and create new revenue streams.

The lottery management expertise Jumbo has developed over the last 25 years and our 
world-class approach to technology and software underpin the success of our strategy.

sale of lottery tickets digitally through Oz Lotteries. 

	B The SaaS and Managed Services operating segments were 

created in 2020 following the rebuild of our proprietary lottery 
platform and decision to expand globally. Jumbo’s aspiration is 
to grow these segments to rival that of Lottery Retailing over time.

operators in Australia and 
globally. 

Managed Services

We provide our lottery 
platform and lottery 
management services to 
charities and worthwhile 
causes that are looking to 
establish a lottery program or 
enhance an existing program. 

Growth in active players is a key focus of our strategy. An active player is 
someone who has purchased a lottery ticket in the last 12-month period. 
The more active players we have on our platform, the more tickets we 
sell, and the more we can grow revenue. 

We have demonstrated strong active player 
growth in our Lottery Retailing segment over the 
years, with active players more than doubling 
from FY15 to FY19.  More recently, we added new 
active players in Australia via our SaaS segment 

and in the UK and Canada via our Managed 
Services segment. The growth in Managed 
Services has been a result of the acquisitions 
of Gatherwell in November 2019, Stride in June 
2022, and StarVale in November 2022.

Our businesses

Large, growing and underpenetrated 
serviceable available market

We see a substantial opportunity for Jumbo to grow in our priority 
markets of Australia, the UK and Canada. The serviceable available 
market for our products and services is large and significantly 
underpenetrated and, as we develop new software capabilities and 
skills, we can expand this further by offering new solutions to meet the 
untapped needs of clients. 

We also continue to closely monitor the 
government sector in the US where iLottery 
remains an under-developed segment of the 
broader lottery market. As iLottery adoption 
reaches a critical mass, and we see evidence 
of increased standardisation and heightened 
expectations of a ‘digital first’ approach, we 
believe the timing will be right for a more 
aggressive approach into this market.

Our best-in-class lottery platform and 
lottery-management expertise drives better 
acquisition, engagement, and retention of 
players. We use our digital skills to continuously 
improve the player experience, enhancing 
players and keeping them active – in turn 
satisfying our lottery partners and minimising 
our contract risks.

lottery software and user experience. 
Our best-in-class lottery software allows us to easily handle the peak ticket 
sales volumes associated with very large draws: while our laser focus on the 
player experience ensures we maximise player engagement and retention. 
Jumbo’s advantage comes from our dual role as both developer and client of 
our own software. Our experience using our own software platform in Lottery 
Retailing enables us to solve problems for ourselves, as well as our SaaS clients.

Our platform is complemented by modern  
technology and integrations.
We have invested significantly in data analytics tools, Artificial Intelligence (AI) 
and machine learning to deliver a more personalised, engaging, and entertaining 
player experience that drives retention, loyalty, and advocacy. We can analyse the 
behavioural and transactional data of players through best-in-class third-party apps 
that seamlessly integrate with our platform. Our agile and experiment-based approach

Annual Report 2023 

Harnessing Artificial Intelligence

We are at the beginning of a  significant transformation  
led by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The recent rapid adoption of AI is due to the 
emergence of advanced Natural Language Models 
(NLM) that are widely accessible and have prompted 
widespread experimentation and pilot projects.

As a software company, Jumbo has always been 
an early adopter of new technology and for several 
years we have been conducting experiments with AI.

Our goal is to be well positioned to capitalise 
on its potential to add value to Jumbo, and 
well prepared for the ethical considerations 
that this technology may raise.

However, as we have seen with previous waves of 
revolutionary technology, it will take time, effort, 
and a long-term investment to attain substantial 
value from transformational technology like this.

 Customer Support

The use of AI in customer service has seen 
significant growth, and the potential is enormous.

AI-driven chatbots have risen to become the 
first point of contact for customer queries and 
support. These AI-enabled software tools are 
designed to mimic human interactions and 
promptly respond to customer questions.

With the incorporation of Natural Language Processing 
(NLP) techniques, chatbots are adept at understanding 
and interpreting customer questions. This enables them 
to supply information, direct customers to appropriate 
solutions, and perform tasks for the customer.

Chatbots provide a plethora of advantages as 
first-line support agents. They can simultaneously 
manage a large quantity of customer queries, 
ensuring swift responses and reducing customer 
waiting times, while forwarding more complex queries 
to their human colleagues when necessary.

Chatbots are free from the resourcing constraints 
of traditional customer support functions. They 
can provide instant support to customers 24 
hours a day, 7 days a week and can scale up 
endlessly to service peak demand – such as those 

experienced during significant jackpot events.

Marketing

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI known for 
its proficiency in pattern recognition, prediction, 
data classification, and decision support.

At present, we are working to use ML to analyse player 
behaviour and develop predictive models. These models 
play a crucial role in guiding our marketing strategies by 
helping us allocate our marketing budgets effectively.

ML also enables us to shift from conventional 
campaigns and gain a deep-rooted understanding 
of player attrition propensities based on their buying 
patterns. For instance, we can deduce that a regularly 
active player who abruptly halts engagement for a 
period of 3-4 days is more likely to discontinue their 
interaction, compared to someone who purchases 
less regularly but takes a hiatus for a full week.

Over the past few years, we’ve been incorporating ML 
into our marketing and data-handling procedures: 
we’ve deployed ML for generating product 
recommendations and have seen a significant 
increase in uptake for products recommended.

In addition to using ML, we’ve been exploring the use 
of generative AI tooling for copywriting and image 
generation. This technology allows us to create 
content that resonates with our target audience 
whilst ensuring ethical practices in content creation, 
at a speed that increases our productivity.

In building customer loyalty, we use intelligent 
algorithms to automatically decide when and 
where to send messages based on each customer’s 
likelihood to engage. This targeted communication 
strategy results in more personalised interactions, 
fostering a stronger connection with our customers.

Furthermore, we’re using algorithms to increase 
campaign confidence by optimising for the 
campaign variant driving the highest overall 
conversion rate. The tool can also personalise 
optimisation based on each customer’s unique 

attributes and behaviours. This ensures that a 
campaign can be tailored to individual preferences, 
maximising the impact and return on investment.

We have also begun to explore the use of large 
language models for ideation in keywords for Search 
Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing 
(SEM) but not overusing AI generated content which 
can negatively impact performance. These models 
offer insightful keyword suggestions, identifying 
opportunities to increase visibility in search engines and 
thus drive more targeted traffic to our online platforms.

By leveraging these sophisticated technologies, 
we are positioning ourselves at the forefront of 
the industry, providing unique and engaging 
experiences for our customers, whilst ensuring 
responsible and ethical AI practices.

Development

Increasingly, software developers are using 
NLP to enhance their work in code generation, 
documentation, code analysis, test automation 
and even debugging assistance.

NLP models are well-suited for code writing because 
they possess the ability to comprehend and interpret 
natural language, extract essential concepts, and 
generate code that aligns with human intent.

We have conducted a pilot project employing GitHub 
Copilot, an AI-powered software development 
assistant that supports programmers with auto-
complete suggestions during coding sessions. 
Copilot helped developers to code more quickly, 
concentrate on solving significant higher-value 
problems, maintain focus for longer periods, and 
produce better documented and more maintainable 
code. Importantly, our developers also experienced 
a greater sense of fulfilment in their work.

Operations

As substantial customer data breaches 
become more prevalent, AI performs a crucial 
role managing transactional fraud.

By deeply scrutinising vast amounts of customer data, 
AI systems have the capacity to identify trends and 
anomalies that could indicate fraudulent actions.

Systems employing AI for fraud detection can monitor 
transactions in real time, contrasting them with past 
data and preset rules. They can swiftly flag suspicious 
activities and trigger additional scrutiny or immediate 
measures to avert fraud. And applying lessons learned 
from previous fraud instances, AI can constantly refine 
its algorithms to prepare for new fraud tactics.

Moreover, AI can enhance security protocols by 
integrating behavioural analysis. AI can study elements 
such as typing patterns and mouse movements to 
detect abnormal behaviour that might imply the 
use of automated scripts or fraudulent endeavours 
to access customer accounts without permission. 
Upon detecting such activities, the system can 
introduce supplementary security screenings and 
safeguards, like multi-factor authentication, to 
maintain the security of customer accounts.

Governance

AI comes with important ethical considerations as well.

Given the opportunities for optimisation and enhanced 
customer experience from AI, we are enthusiastic 
and optimistic about its potential for Jumbo.

However, it’s a fast-moving field and we have 
been following market developments and 
expert discussions around AI closely. 

Our players’ wellbeing is the primary consideration 
in all decisions, and we are designing guardrails 
for the responsible use of AI at Jumbo.

The balance is crucial to ensure decisions about 
what tools are used and how they are used is aligned 
to Jumbo’s integrity and governance framework.

Jumbo Interactive

As part of the strategic rationale for acquiring Stride, a key 
priority for Jumbo is the expansion of the Stride business into the 
Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Ontario. 

As a first step to executing against this strategy, Stride was

opportunistic basis with the timing and number of shares purchased dependent on the prevailing share price and alternative 

capital deployment opportunities. As at 30 June 2023, 209,269 shares had been purchased at an average price of $12.58. The 
Board has agreed to continue the on-market share buy-back program and will maintain a disciplined approach to execution.

https://www.jumbointeractive.com/corporate_governance_statement.pdf. 

13.  Events subsequent to the reporting period 

Apart from the final dividend determination announced on 25 August 2023 and the Board’s decision to continue the on-market 

share buy-back, the Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance that has arisen that has significantly affected, or may 

significantly affect, the operations of the Company in the financial years subsequent to 30 June 2023. 

14.  Likely developments, key business 

strategies and future prospects 

Following continued success in the Australian lottery retailing sector, the Company is seeking to leverage its proprietary lottery 

software platform and lottery management expertise into new markets outside of Australia. The current operating model has been 

designed to increase the pace of execution, with three distinct operating segments: Lottery Retailing, SaaS and Managed Services. 

Over the medium to long-term, the Company’s expectation is for the SaaS and Managed Services segments to grow and make a 

material contribution to Group earnings.  

14.1  Overview of Group 

The Group is a dedicated digital lottery software and services company, providing its proprietary lottery software platform a nd 

lottery management expertise to the charity and government lottery sectors in Australia and globally. 

The consolidated entity is dedicated to developing and operating the world’s best lottery experiences. 

Our vision is to ‘create positive social impact through making lotteries easier’ which relies on: 

• 

A world-class lottery approach to technology and software; 

•  Our lottery management expertise developed over 20 years; and 

• 

Adopting a leadership position around governance and player protection. 

Our strategy is to grow the business through an expanded product range and expanded geographic locations, distributed on a 

standardised basis through three operating segments being Lottery Retailing, Software-as-a-Service and Managed Services in 
domestic and international markets. 

14.2  Lottery Retailing 

Jumbo, through certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, is an authorised reseller of lottery tickets under the flagship Oz Lotteries 

brand. This Lottery Retailing segment is well-established and includes the sale of Australian lotteries (national and charities) in 

eligible jurisdictions in both Australia and internationally. 

The Lottery Retailing segment is underpinned via Reseller Agreements with The Lottery Corporation Limited (TLC), which were 

extended for a further 10 years in August 2020 (Agreement). TLC was demerged from Tabcorp on 24 May 2022 as a separate listed 

company on the Australian Securities Exchange and is Australia’s exclusive operator of licensed lotteries for all Australian  states 

except for Western Australia. Sales of national lottery games are undertaken through the following lottery agreements with TLC: 

• 

Victoria – 10 years to 25 August 2030 with renewal negotiations 9 months prior to expiry, for sales to customers in Victoria and 

Tasmania; 

 
39 

• 

• 

• 

Annual Report 2023 

New South Wales – 10 years to 25 August 2030 with renewal negotiations 9 months prior to expiry, for sales to customers in 

New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory; 

South Australia – 10 years to 25 August 2030 with renewal negotiations 9 months prior to expiry, for sales to customers in 

South Australia; and 

Northern Territory – 10 years to 25 August 2030 with renewal negotiations 9 months prior to expiry, for sales to customers in the 

Northern Territory and eligible overseas jurisdictions. 

Pursuant to the Reseller Agreement with TLC, the service fee increased from 1.5% of the subscription price in FY21 to 2.5% in FY22 and 

3.5% in FY23. It will increase to 4.65% in FY24 and thereafter. If the subscriptions exceed $400,000,000 in any applicable financial 

year, then a service fee of 4.65% applies to the excess amount. 

The domestic digital lottery market is currently estimated to be 38.4% of the total domestic lottery market (~$7.8bn). This compares 

to more mature overseas markets such as the United Kingdom (UK) that has 45% digital penetration, and some of the 

Scandinavian lotteries with penetration even higher. 

The Group commenced selling charity lottery tickets in July 2015 and there are currently a total of 9 charities using Oz Lotteries to 

sell lottery tickets including charities such as Mater, Endeavour Foundation, RSPCA and the Deaf Lottery Association. Charity ticket 

sales currently represent ~2% of total Lottery Retailing annual ticket sales.  

The Oz Lotteries business is well-positioned to continue to capitalise on the trend of increasing digital adoption and the higher 

propensity for players to purchase lottery tickets on the internet or using a mobile device. Ticket sales continue to be sign ificantly 

impacted by large jackpot activity which remains outside of the business’s influence, however a persistent focus on innovation to 
improve player engagement and enhance the player experience is expected to continue to drive revenue growth.  

14.3  Software-as-a-Service 

The Company has identified a significant opportunity to license its proprietary lottery software platform ‘Powered by Jumbo’ (PBJ) 

to government and charity operators in Australia and globally. As at 30 June 2023, four SaaS client agreements had been 

operationalised in Australia. In November 2020, the Company secured a United Kingdom Gambling Commission software license, 

which permits the Company to supply its software to Gambling Commission licensed operators. Following this, the Company 

signed an agreement with its first UK charity client, St Helena Hospice which went partly live in November 2021 and fully live in 

March 2022. 

Outside of Australia, the Company has prioritised the UK and Canadian charity lottery sectors and is closely monitoring iLottery 

developments in the United States. Following changes in legislation at both a federal and state level in the United States, some 

states have started to adopt digital lotteries in the form of iLottery, albeit the take up has been relatively slow due to retail 

opposition and the need to pass legislation to permit iLottery programmes. As at 30 June 2023, 14 out of 48 US lottery jurisdictions 

either have iLottery operations or have passed legislation for iLottery. This remains an underdeveloped segment of the market and 

we expect more states to adopt iLottery over time.  

The growth prospects for SaaS are compelling with a serviceable available market estimated at $3.1 billion1 across the UK, Canada, 
Australia and United States. 

14.4  Managed Services 

The Company acquired Gatherwell Limited (Gatherwell) in the UK in November 2019 which is a licensed External Lottery Manager 

(ELM), providing a turnkey digital lottery solution to lotteries across the UK. Gatherwell’s main customers are schools through 

www.yourschoollottery.co.uk, local authorities and councils, and small society lotteries through www.onelottery.co.uk and other 

individual brands. 

In June 2022, the Company acquired Stride Management Corp. (Stride) in Canada, a licensed ELM, providing a full range of 

services including lottery management, ticket fulfilment, and marketing services in Alberta and Saskatchewan. In November 2022, 

the Company acquired the StarVale Group (StarVale), a leading UK ELM and digital payments company providing a full range of 

weekly lottery, raffle and prize draw services.

40 

Annual Report 2023 

The growth prospects for Managed Services are compelling with a serviceable available market estimated at $5.2 billion1 across 
the UK, Canada and Australia.  

14.5  Group 

The Company has invested in establishing strong foundations and capabilities to execute on our growth strategy, including 

ensuring our risk management and governance settings are robust and establishing a Senior Leadership Group. Excluding one-off 

items and the impact of Stride and StarVale, underlying expenses decreased 2.5%. This was primarily driven by disciplined cost 

management and lower marketing costs as a result of the jackpot environment. In FY2024, the Company will continue to invest in 

the business with the majority of the planned investment aligned to driving revenue growth, including a more normalised level of 

marketing spend following a period of lower marketing activity in FY2023 due to lower than expected large jackpots.  

14.6  Impact of COVID-19 

The change in consumer behaviour arising from the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive effect on digital penetration in FY2021 and 

FY2022. The change in consumer behaviour arising from the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive effect on digital penetration in 

FY2021 and FY2022. In FY2023, digital lottery penetration increased 0.7% on the pcp to 38.4%, impacted by below average jackpot 

volumes (FY2022: 37.7%, FY2021: 32.8%).  

In July 2023, the Company transitioned from a remote-first work model to a hybrid work model, encouraging employees to attend 

the office at least three days per week. A hybrid work model seeks to enhance collaboration and connectivity across teams and 

foster a high-performing culture while supporting work-life balance.  

15.  Key risks 

The Group is continually monitoring the risks our business faces and ensuring the relevant risk response sufficiently mitigates these 

risks in-line with the risk appetite set by the Board. Some key risk areas identified are as follows: 

Integration 

Jumbo has expanded our international presence and addressable market through the 

acquisition of Stride in June 2022 and StarVale in November 2022. 

Both businesses have undergone a multi-level internal review to ensure alignment to the 

goals of integration and appropriate accountability to deliver these goals. 

Jumbo has also bolstered resourcing to ensure the right balance is struck between 

cultural fit and achieving an efficient integration. 

Expansion 

We see a substantial opportunity for Jumbo to grow in our priority markets of Australia, the 

UK and Canada. During the year Jumbo has been analysing the domestic and 

international market to identify opportunities to acquire lottery-management companies. 

We are working to ensure balance between opportunity and the necessary investment 
required to ensure growth is not at the expense of the core business. 

While we pursue the international expansion strategy, we are also monitoring the broader 

macroeconomic conditions. The inflationary economy and cost-of-living pressures have 

been more pronounced in certain markets; the potential reduction in discretionary 

spending is being factored into target analysis.

Report – 7th edition, Charity Commission for England and Wales, The Giving Report 2022 (Canada). 

 
 
 
41 

Annual Report 2023 

Data Protection and Cyber 

Data governance is a strong risk focus and one of our most important compliance 

Resilience 

processes. During the year, we have added resourcing to refresh our data-governance 

strategy and reduce future risk by rationalising the data we collect and the period for 

which it is retained. We are closely following both the developments around the Australian 

Privacy Act and international legislation to ensure we are keeping pace with best practice 

data protection globally. 

From its inception Jumbo has been a fully digital business and cyber risk has been a 

constant throughout the evolution of the business. We will continue to monitor and 

prepare for the next wave of cyber threat. 

In particular in the past 12 months, we have been building a common understanding of 

good security posture and hygiene across the business from the customer-facing and 

operational employees through to the Board. 

Regulatory Compliance 

We operate across an increasingly complex regulatory landscape in both our domestic 

and international markets. We work to ensure compliance with our regulatory obligations 

and proactively monitor legislative developments to help ensure we are safeguarding our 

future operations. 

Sustainability 

Jumbo’s success depends on meeting the expectations of our stakeholders. Their 

expectations are increasing and we are monitoring the legislative and reporting changes 

which are expected in the near future. 

This year is the second year for our Sustainability Council and we are better positioned to 

prioritise the sustainability matters that are material to our stakeholders. 

To read more about our Risk Management Framework, please see the Corporate Governance Statement 

(https://www.jumbointeractive.com/corporate_governance_statement.pdf). 

16.  Impacts of legislation and other external 

requirements 

We operate in a complex and evolving compliance environment where we often face multi-layered state/territory, Australian and 

international legislative requirements. Recent developments include: 

• 

Increased scrutiny on the gambling sector in Australia and abroad, specifically: 

• 

• 

• 

The introduction in Australia of a ban on use of credit cards for online gambling to be implemented in the 2024 financial 

year, noting lotteries are exempt from any proposed restrictions; 

An inquiry into online gambling and its impacts on those experiencing gambling harm by the Australian House of 

Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs recommending a ban on online gambling 

advertising across all media within three years. The Committee’s final report acknowledged the lower gambling harm risk 

associated with lotteries, resulting in lotteries having been excluded from its recommendations; and 

The UK Gambling Commission’s white paper on gambling reform which sets out to ensure the UK’s regulatory framework 

protects children and vulnerable people, prevents gambling related crime and keeps gambling fair and open in the 
digital age. 

• 

Heightened focus on data protection, in the wake of recent high profile cyber incidents, with proposed changes to data 

privacy frameworks including: 

• 

• 

• 

An extensive review of the Privacy Act in Australia by the Commonwealth Attorney General’s department which suggests 

broader application of the Privacy Act, increased obligations on entities collecting and using personal information and 

expanded individual rights to privacy; 

Data protection legislation changes in the UK which impact the UK General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) 

framework. The proposed changes may relax some onerous requirements retained post-Brexit whilst maintaining data 

protection adequacy with the EU; and 

The potential harmonisation of privacy legislation in Canada to better align with international privacy laws, including 

providing increased individual rights to privacy and the imposition of more severe financial sanctions for beaches. 

 
42 

Annual Report 2023 

•  Ongoing workplace reforms within Australia and internationally: 

• 

• 

• 

Significant changes in Australian laws regarding workplace equality and discrimination protections, including broadening 

the responsibility of employers to promote a safe working environment, as well as an increase in the rights to flexible 

working arrangements; 

In the UK, legislation has been passed which provides ministerial power to restate, revoke, replace or make alternative 

provisions for EU derived legislation in the UK post-Brexit; and 

In Canada, criminal enforcement provisions will come into effect prohibiting wage fixing and no-poaching clauses in 

certain circumstances. 

• 

Evolution of Sustainability reporting frameworks and disclosure standards: 

• 

• 

• 

In June, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued its inaugural standards – IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, 

designed to help improve trust and confidence in company disclosures about sustainability to inform investment 

decisions; 

IFRS S1 provides a set of disclosure requirements designed to enable companies to communicate to investors about the 

sustainability-related risks and opportunities they face over the short, medium and long term, while IFRS 2 sets out 

specific climate-related disclosures and is designed to be used with IFRS S1. 

Both fully incorporate the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). 

17.  Indemnifying officers or auditors 

During the financial year, the Company paid premiums in respect of a contract insuring Directors, Secretaries and Executive 

Officers of the Company and its controlled entities against a liability incurred as Director, Secretary or executive officer to the 

extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.  

The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. The Group has not 

otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify 

an officer of the Company or any of its controlled entities against a liability incurred as such an officer. No indemnity has been 

provided to, or insurance paid on behalf of, the auditor of the Group. 

18.  Non-audit services 

On 10 November 2022, Ernst & Young were appointed auditor of the Company following shareholder approval at the Annual 

General Meeting. The appointment of Ernst & Young was made following a competitive tender process. BDO had been the 

Company’s auditor for over 10 years prior. 

During the financial year, there were no non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young. 

On the advice of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, the Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, 

during the year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on behalf of the auditor), is compatible with the general stand ard of 

independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. 

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor did not compromise the auditor independence 

requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 

• 

• 

all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Management Committee 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.

Annual Report 2023 

Operating and 
Financial Review 

23.  Explanation of results 

The Group reports revenue on a net revenue inflow basis when they are agent such as with the sale of lottery tickets. The gross 

amount received for the sale of goods and rendering of services is advised as Company Total Transaction Value (TTV - 

‘Company’). In addition, where the Group acts as a licensor of its software platform, the gross amount of third-party lottery ticket 

sales transacted through its software platform is advised as third-party Total Transaction Value (TTV - ‘Third-party’). Revenue is 

generated mainly as a percentage of TTV. 

The Lottery Retailing segment continues to be the largest contributor to Group revenue and profits. Revenue for this segment 
decreased due to a lower level of large jackpots and lower customer activity. Gross profit was impacted by the 1% step-up in the 

service fee payable to TLC. The SaaS segment revenue and profit decreased mainly due to lower internal revenue received from 

Lottery Retailing. The Managed Services segment includes Gatherwell and StarVale in the UK, Stride in Canada, and Jumbo 

Fundraising in Australia. Stride completed on 1 June 2022 and contributed a full 12 months of performance in FY2023 while StarVale 

completed on 1 November 2022 and therefore only contributed 8 months of performance in FY2023. 

On 24 May 2022, Tabcorp’s lottery and keno business was de-merged and listed as a separate company on the Australian 

Securities Exchange as The Lottery Corporation Limited (TLC). There is no impact on Jumbo’s relationship with TLC, the Reseller 

Agreement, or operations as a result of the de-merger. 

Over the last twelve months, the operating environment has undergone a significant and rapid change with slower economic 

growth expected including the possibility of a recession. Inflation has emerged as a key global issue with central banks resp onding 

by increasing interest rates quickly and considerably. Lotteries have delivered consistent growth over the long term and have 

proven to be highly resilient to economic recessions. 

The change in consumer behaviour arising from the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive effect on digital penetration in FY2021 and 

FY2022. In FY2023, digital lottery penetration increased 0.7% on the pcp to 38.4%, impacted by below average jackpot volumes 

(FY2022: 37.7%, FY2021: 32.8%).  

Labour market conditions and wage pressure have eased following the initial disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

However, the demand for digital expertise is expected to remain high and the Group remains committed to being a sought after 

employer for top digital talent. 

The financial position of the Group is sound with strong liquidity. As at 30 June 2023, the Group had general cash reserves of 
$53,190,000 underpinned by strong organic cash generation. The Group also has access to an additional $47,000,000 through its 

senior debt facility for strategic growth opportunities.  

As the technology industry is fast-moving with the rate of technological change high, the Group continues to invest in its software 
platforms. During the financial year, the Group received ISO 27001:2013 re-certification of the information security management 

systems applying to its core software platform product. In addition, better data management leads to an improved customer 

experience and increased sales. The Group has increased investment in technology for the benefit of both its own Lottery Retailing 

operations as well its SaaS and Managed Services clients. The Group continues to invest in its staff by ensuring remuneration levels 

competitive with the market, investment in training and development and additional resourcing to support growth. Marketing costs 

decreased on the pcp due to the unfavourable jackpot environment.  

Investment in the three main pillars that support the ongoing growth of the Group are as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

$6,558,000 (FY2022: $5,706,000) invested in the proprietary software platform (intangible assets); 

$6,572,000 (FY2022: $8,597,000) invested in marketing activities for the acquisition, engagement and retention of customers; 

and 

$22,161,000 (FY2022: $17,196,000) on employees who provide the software development and marketing skills, customer support 

services, and management.

Annual Report 2023 

24.  Result highlights (statutory and underlying 

operations) 

The Group has included TTV; underlying EBIT, EBITDA, NPAT, and NPATA; statutory EBIT and EBITDA. These measures are not defined 

under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are, therefore, termed "non-IFRS" measures and are not subject to 

audit procedures. 

Statutory EBIT is defined as Group earnings before net interest and tax, while statutory EBITDA is Group earnings before net interest, 

tax, and depreciation and amortisation. 

Underlying EBIT, EBITDA, NPAT and NPATA are defined as statutory EBIT, EBITDA, NPAT, and NPATA adjusted for significant non-

recurring items, and are provided as useful indicators of the Group’s operating financial performance on a comparable basis. 
Underlying earnings is the primary reporting measure used by management and the Group’s chief operating decision maker (the 

Chief Executive Officer) for the purposes of managing and assessing the financial performance of the business.

Annual Report 2023 

1 NPATA is net profit after tax and before tax-effect amortisation expenses in respect of intangible assets acquired through a Business Combination 
which for the full year is $2,174,000 (FY2022: $305,000). 
2 Statutory earnings are adjusted by significant non-recurring items to get to underlying earnings. 
3 Profit on disposal of subsidiary relates to the sale of lightningpayroll.com.au business (Intellitron Pty Ltd) on 30 June 2022. 
4 Acquisition costs include consulting and legal expenses relating to the acquisition of Stride and StarVale. 
5 One-off retention payments for key Stride management following the completion of the acquisition on 1 June 2022. 
6 During a regular internal review of processes and procedures, disputed transactions totalling $604,000 relating to periods prior to FY2022 were 
identified as having been found in favour of the cardholder but had not been expensed appropriately. As a result, a one-off expense was recognised 
in FY2022. 
7  The fair value movement on financial liabilities relates to StarVale ($174,000) increasing the probability from 89% to 91% of paying the first and only 
earnout following 30 June 2023 and Stride ($236,000) Increasing the probability from 95% to 100% of paying the second and final earnout following 30 
June 2023. 
8 Net Profit After Tax/Earnings Per Share before amortisation of acquired intangible assets and includes a one-off $861,000 tax charge in FY23 due to a 
change in the accounting and tax treatment of the capitalised $15 million extension fee paid under the Reseller Agreements with The Lottery 
Corporation in August 2020 – please refer to Note 11 for further detail. 
9 NPAT/Closing equity. 
10 These are non-IFRS measures and not audited. 

24.1  Major items 

• 

• 

Lottery Retailing – pursuant to the Reseller Agreements with TLC dated 25 August 2020, a ‘stepped-up’ service fee is payable in 

the subscription cost of the tickets purchased at 1.5% FY2021, 2.5% FY2022, 3.5% FY2023, and 4.65% FY2024 and thereafter. If the 

subscriptions exceed $400,000,000 in any applicable financial year, then a service of 4.65% applies to the excess amount.  

Lottery Retailing - ongoing intersegment software management fee of 7.5% of relevant TTV payable to the SaaS segment for 

the development, improvement and maintenance of the proprietary lottery software platform and provision of data 

information and analysis using technology such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning. 

•  Managed Services - includes a full 12 months contribution from Stride (acquired 1 June 2022) and eight months contribution 
from StarVale (acquired 1 November 2022). The completion payment for StarVale of $40,217,000 was settled 63% from cash 

reserves and 37% using existing debt facilities.  

25.  Consolidated results of operations 

• 

The acquisitions of Stride and StarVale (reported in the Managed Services segment) were completed on 1 June 2022 and 1 

November 2022 respectively. As a result Stride contributed a full 12 months (1 month in pcp) and StarVale contributed eight 

months to FY2023 performance (nil in the pcp).  

• 

• 

In FY2023 Stride contributed $102,278,000, $8,072,000 and $2,893,000 in TTV, Revenue and EBITDA respectively (FY2022: 

$9,068,000, $618,000 and $80,000 in TTV, Revenue and EBITDA). 

In FY2023 StarVale contributed to $83,187,000, $6,917,000 and $2,844,000 in TTV, Revenue and EBITDA respectively. 

• 

Excluding the contribution from Stride and StarVale: 

• 

• 

• 

Revenue increased 0.1% reflecting slightly higher Lottery Retailing and SaaS external revenue offset by lower revenue in 
Gatherwell. 

Underlying EBITDA decreased 3.8% mainly due to the step up in the TLC service fee from 2.5% to 3.5% of the subscription 

ticket costs and lower other income. On a segmental basis, higher earnings in Lottery Retailing were more than offset by 

the EBITDA decline in SaaS and Gatherwell. 

Underlying operating expenses decreased 1.8% with higher staff and technology costs, more than offset by a reduction in 

marketing spend due to lower jackpot activity and lower short-term incentive payments.

TTV decreased 2.5% mainly due to lower customer activity as a result of lower large jackpot activity compared to the pcp. Despite 

only one large jackpot ≥$15 million below the pcp, the profile of these jackpots varied considerably. Notably FY2023 included only 

five Powerball jackpots ≥$50 million, compared to 13 in the pcp. Revenue increased 0.2%, reflecting the lower TTV offset by a higher 

revenue margin, due to product mix and pricing changes (effective May 2023). Gross profit was impacted by the ‘step up’ in the 
TLC service fee from 2.5% to 3.5% of the subscription ticket costs. EBITDA increased 1.4% reflecting the above factors and lower 

marketing spend which was impacted by the profile of jackpots. Marketing costs were equivalent to 1.3% of TTV in FY2023 (FY2022: 

1.7%). After marketing costs, the single largest expense relates to employee costs of $3,003,000 (FY2022: $2,937,000) in respect of 22 
staff (FY2022: 20) employed in the segment, of which the majority include operations and customer support staff.

TTV generated from charities reduced 12.1%, mainly due to the loss of the Surf Life Saving reseller agreement in October 2022.  

The number of large jackpots is an important driver of TTV. The TTV trend over the last three financial year periods in the context of 

such jackpots in Australia is summarised as follows:

The Group invests extensively in online marketing to grow and activate the customer database that transacts via its website 

(www.ozlotteries.com) and associated mobile apps (iOS & Android). In FY2023 $5,360,000 was invested in marketing activities 

during the period primarily to acquire new and engage existing customers (FY2022: $7,257,000). These costs were fully expensed 

through the profit and loss.  

The following key performance indicators (KPIs) are used to track the effectiveness of online marketing campaigns: 

1.  CPL: Cost per Lead (new online accounts) is defined as the total cost to acquire these new accounts divided by the number of 

new accounts in a given period. New accounts may potentially become active customers after the account has been 
established. 

2.  Number of Active Online Customers is defined as customers who have spent money on tickets in a given period. 

3.  Average spend per active online customer is defined as the total spent by active online customers divided by the number of 

active online customers in a given period. 

The following table summarises the Marketing KPIs:

The underlying business continues to perform well as evidenced by the profile of sales over time. The sales resulting from jackpots 

≤$15 million demonstrate the resilience of the business over time while the sales resulting from jackpots  ≥$15 million show the boost 

from large jackpots.

26.2  Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) 

Jumbo’s SaaS segment licences the Jumbo lottery software platform, Powered by Jumbo (PBJ) to several customers, including to 

ozlotteries.com, and develops, improves and maintains the Jumbo proprietary platform.  

Software licence fees range between ~3.0% and ~9.5% of ticket sales (TTV) that are processed through the PBJ platform. 

An intersegment fee of 7.5% is charged to the Lottery Retailing segment (ozlotteries.com customer) as (i) PBJ has been developed 

for this internal customer over many years at a significant investment compared to other customers who receive an adapted

version of PBJ at a lower development cost and (ii) the internal customer has a significantly higher usage of other services such as 

data analytics. The level of this fee falls within the arm’s length upper/lower interquartile range based on international 

benchmarking undertaken by an independent third party in October 2021.

1 Includes Intellitron which was sold on 30 June 2022 and contributed $767,000 TTV, $767,000 Revenue and $538,000 EBITDA. 

Excluding the impact of Intellitron Pty Ltd, external TTV through the PBJ platform increased 17.6%. Total revenue declined 0.7% 

reflecting higher external revenue from clients more than offset by a lower internal service fee from Lottery Retailing (due to a 

contraction in TTV). 

Employee benefits is the single largest expense at $9,894,000 (FY2022: $9,427,000) with 83 staff (FY2022: 72) in this segment mainly 

reflecting software engineers and an allocation of indirect staff expenses.  

The contraction in EBITDA margin to 65.3% (FY2022: 67.8%) was impacted by the lower intersegment fee from Lottery Retailing and 

higher operating expenses. 

26.3  Managed Services 

The Group’s Managed Services segment provides lottery management services including prize procurement, lottery game design, 

campaign marketing, and customer relationship and draw management. These services are provided in addition to the 

proprietary-owned lottery software platforms to licensed charities in Australia, Canada and the UK. The segment operates as 

Gatherwell Ltd (Gatherwell) and StarVale Group of companies (StarVale) as External Lottery Managers (ELM) in the UK, Stride 

Management Corp. (Stride) as an ELM for charity lotteries in Canada, and Jumbo Fundraising (JF) in Australia.

The net assets of the Group have increased by $7,006,000 from 30 June 2022 to $99,989,000. The Group’s working capital, being 

current assets less current liabilities, has decreased from $20,092,000 in 2023 to $26,131,000 in 2023 mainly as a result of the 

repayment of the $15m debt drawn to fund the StarVale acquisition. Non-current assets increased by $29,954,000 to $86,146,000 

due mainly to (i) an increase in intangible assets with the acquisition of Stride and (ii) the investment in the software platform. 

The Directors believe the Group is in a sound financial position to expand and grow its current operations. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group for the financial year were as follows: 

Decrease in cash of $15,519,000 resulting from: 

–  Cash provided by operating activities  
–  Cash used in investing activities-mainly acquisition of StarVale and website development costs 

(intangibles) 

–  Cash raised from the issue of shares 
–  Payment of lease liabilities in financing activities  
–  Payments for share buy-back 
–  Dividends paid  
See Statement of Cash Flow for details 

Increase in non-current assets of $29,954,000 resulting largely from: 
–  Investment in website development costs net of amortisation 
–  Goodwill 
–  Customer contracts and relationships net of amortisation 
−  Software net of amortisation 
–  Changes in other non-current assets – see Statement of Financial Position

Annual Report 2023 

Message from the Chair of the People and 

Culture Committee  
Dear Shareholders, 

On behalf of the People and Culture Committee (PCC), I am pleased to present the Group’s Remuneration Report for the 2023 

financial year. This report provides a comprehensive overview of our Remuneration Framework and its alignment with our business 

strategy. 

Welcome to StarVale and Stride  

We are delighted to welcome our StarVale and Stride employees to the Group. Over the past 12 months we have worked closely 

with our international teams to synchronise business cultures and strategic objectives, and to align our systems and pro cesses. In 

March 2023, our Corporate Strategy including Mission, Vision and Values were rolled out through a series of department and 

business-led Strategy Days. Our new global onboarding program aims to create a greater sense of belonging and inclusion and 

reinforces the key role each individual plays in the delivery of our Corporate Strategy. Regular Group-wide events such as 

Employee Appreciation Day, International Women’s Day and other cultural celebrations have helped build connections across time 

zones and bring our people along the broader Group journey. Work continues on integrating our core communication platforms, 

policies and procedures across the Group, which is expected to be completed by Q2 FY24. 

Culture 

We have long been proud of our vibrant workplace culture. Our unique, modern technology culture is underpinned by our Core 

Values and is a cornerstone to achieving our Corporate Strategy. Building on our unique and strong culture, the Group was 

recognised globally as a Great Place to Work with 90% employee consensus. This certification not only signals our strong 

workplace culture and the positive regard our people have towards us as an employer, but it also enables us to continue to at tract 

top talent and strengthen our overall employer brand. We obtained this certificate while at the same time transitioning from a 

remote-first company to a hybrid work model with our teams attending core office days each week. Through increased office 

presence our ability to communicate, collaborate and operate cross-functionally is greatly enhanced, leading to improved 

productivity and engagement, while continuing to foster a work environment where our employees can thrive and perform at thei r 

best. As part of our ongoing efforts to foster a positive work culture and motivate our workforce, our annual Jumbo Awards were 

launched in 2022. The Awards are linked to our Core Values, by recognising employees who live and display desired behaviours 

aligned with our values. This recognition program has become an integral part of our Employee Value Proposition, contributing to a 

positive work environment and driving organisational success. 

Talent attraction and development 

With the demand for digital skills exceeding supply, we have focused heavily on two areas: shaping a compelling Employee Value 

Proposition and investing in our employees’ development. Our Group Employee Value Proposition was informed by a global 

research project. Core to our strategy was ensuring communication touch points across all platforms whether internal or ext ernal, 

were consistent, complimentary, and integrated. Our goal is to attract quality talent by appealing to their ambition and desire to 

work for a rapidly growing organisation who offers career opportunities that are more than just a job. Investing in ou r employees’ 
development not only benefits them individually, but also leads to improved performance and greater innovation for Jumbo. To 

provide our talent with interesting opportunities to learn and grow, we have established a Jumbo University. Jumbo University is 
intended to support our employees’ professional growth by empowering them to expand their skill sets and is supported by a best 

in market learning experience platform. The program supports a scalable approach to learning and development, focusin g on 

core transferable business skills such as project management, leadership, data, customer service, coaching and more. 

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging 

Since the release of our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Commitment in September 2021, we have undertaken an extensive review of 

best practice and market research as well as consulted with our team and members of our Senior Leadership Group.  Jumbo has 

taken steps to enhance our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Commitment through a targeted action plan. Our DEIB 

pillars focus on accountability, equitable access, education and community. Our company policies and programs are designed to 

promote fairness, equality and inclusion in the workplace and voluntary data collection points enable us to gather DEIB data on 

recruitment and workforce, which is used to inform decisions and track progress against goals. Pleasingly, representation of 

women in leadership roles rose by 8% to 28% in FY23, and we have maintained our FY22 levels of 50% representation at Board level 

and 44% at Group level.  

 
54 

Annual Report 2023 

FY23 Performance Outcomes 

The financial component (50%) of the FY23 short-term incentive scorecard requires achievement of underlying net profit after tax 

growth, subject to a sliding scale. An unfavourable run of jackpots in FY23 contributed to lower than anticipated revenue resulting 

in the minimum NPAT threshold (6% increase) not being met and 0% of the financial component of the short-term incentive 

scorecard being achieved.   

The operational component (50%) of the FY23 short-term incentive scorecard reflects a number of metrics focused on 

sustainability, players, employees and an individual performance rating. Additionally, the operational component included a 

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) hurdle, expansion of the Lotterywest agreement and an underlying NPAT measure based on the 

Group business plan. The latter is designed as a ‘gate’ to the other operational metrics and reflects the minimum threshold 

management needs to achieve before the other operational metrics can be unlocked. This ‘gate’ enables the Board to apply its 

discretion and adjust the percentage awarded for these components.  Based on FY23 performance, 81% of the operational 

component was achieved. 

Remuneration Framework 

As part of a broader review of the Remuneration Framework at the end of FY22, the PCC also undertook a detailed Executive 

benchmarking exercise. Having regard to market data provided in the independent review, the benchmarking showed that the 

level of TFR for direct reports of the CEO was below market median, having not increased for the past two consecutive years at that 

time. In response, the PCC recommended an increase of TFR for the CEO’s direct reports, which was deferred for 12 months due to 

ongoing cost discipline in a lower economic growth environment. The recommended increase of TFR will take effect from FY24, 

resulting in a modest increase in the Total Remuneration Opportunity (TRO) for the CFO, CTO and COO.  

In August 2022, we welcomed Abby Perry to the KMP as Chief People Officer. A similar percentage increase in TFR for the CPO was 

recommended by the PCC with a staged increase of TFR over the remaining period of the current Remuneration Framework, 

aligned with benchmarking of similar positions at comparative companies. The TRO mix for the direct reports of the CEO will also 

change in FY24, with a higher weighting towards TFR, now 60% of TRO (previously 50%) with the remaining 40% split equally 

between the STI (20%) and LTI (20%) components. This compares to 25% for the STI and LTI components respectively in FY23. 

Conclusion 

FY23 has been a period of significant growth in the Jumbo Group with further expansion of the business into Canda and the UK.  I 

would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the staff and senior leaders who have enabled a successful integration 

of StarVale and Stride, establishing a diverse, high performing culture supporting our employees to thrive and setting them up to 

successfully execute Jumbo’s Corporate Strategy into FY24. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the immense contribution of David 

Todd, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who advised the Board of his intention to resign due to unforeseen personal health reasons. A 

comprehensive recruitment process is currently underway, considering both internal and external candidates. We expect to 

announce the new CFO in the second quarter of FY2024. David will remain employed by Jumbo in an advisory capacity for as long 

as required to ensure a smooth transition to the new CFO. Together with other members of the Board, management team and all 

our staff across Australia, Canada and the UK, I wish him and his family the very best for the future.

Annual Report 2023 

28.  Remuneration governance 

The Remuneration Framework is managed by the People and Culture Committee (PCC) on behalf of the Board. The PCC oversees 

the remuneration and governance framework to ensure remuneration practices are aligned with strategic objectives consistent 
with remuneration principles and shareholder expectations.   

28.1  Board of Jumbo Interactive Limited 

The Board is chaired by Susan Forrester. The Board established the PCC, which recommends to the Board a fair and res ponsible 

company-wide remuneration policy that promotes the creation of value in a sustainable manner. 

28.2  People and Culture Committee 

The PCC consists of three Non-Executive Directors and is chaired by Sharon Christensen. In addition to the Committee members, 

Committee meetings are also attended by the CEO, CFO, CPO, the Company Secretary and Corporate Affairs Counsel to the CEO, 

on an invitation only basis.  

The objectives of the Committee are to assist the Board in discharging its corporate governance responsibilities to exercise due 

care and diligence in relation to: 

•  Making recommendations to the Board on the setting and evaluation of key performance areas for Directors and Senior 

Executives; 

•  Making recommendations to the Board on the setting of succession plans for Directors and Senior Executives; 

•  Making recommendations to the Board on the appointment of Directors and Senior Executives; 

•  Making recommendations to the Board on Director, Senior Executive and Senior Leadership Group remuneration, in line with 

Jumbo’s Remuneration Framework; 

• 

Ensuring Jumbo’s Remuneration Framework drives appropriate behaviours, reflective of tJumbo’s Core Values; and 

•  Oversight of the People & Culture policies and strategies, including succession planning, workplace culture and employee 

engagement. 

For further details of the composition and responsibilities of the PCC (including a copy of the Committee’s Charter), please refer to 

the Corporate Governance section on our website (https://www.jumbointeractive.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/People-

Culture-Committee-Charter.pdf).  

28.3  Remuneration benchmarking 

Executive remuneration is set with reference to the executive’s knowledge, experience and skills, the magnitude of the 
responsibilities and complexities associated with the role and peer benchmarks. The peer group are comparable companies 

within the ASX300. Periodically, the peer group is reviewed and updated, in conjunction with an independent remuneration 

consultant. The PCC, with advice from an independent, external consultant, conducts a comparative analysis of the executive 

compensation against reported roles within that identified peer group. 

28.4 External and independent advice 

The PCC engages with independent remuneration advisor, Crichton + Associates, on a regular basis to provide information about 

market dynamics, trends and regulatory changes impacting Jumbo. The PCC considers this information and advice together with 

market insights as part of the determination of appropriate recommendations for remuneration each year.  

The total cost relating to external and independent advice from Crichton + Associates was $18,993. 

The Board is satisfied that no remuneration recommendations (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001) were provided by Crichton 

+ Associates or any other external remuneration advisors during FY2023.

28.5 Executive KMP Service Agreements 

The employment conditions of non-executive Directors are formalised by letters of appointment. Executive KMP employment 

conditions are formalised in contracts of employment and have no fixed term. The employment contracts stipulate a range of 

terms and conditions. These contracts do not fix the amount of remuneration increases from year to year, with remuneration levels 

reviewed generally each year by the PCC.

29.  Remuneration Framework 

The current Remuneration Framework operates over a three-year cycle, commencing from 1 July 2022 and concluding 30 June

consistent with the Group’s remuneration principles and framework.  

The PCC’s objective in remuneration is to support the delivery of business outcomes that grow shareholder value while continu ing 

to explore value accretive business opportunities both domestically and internationally that will successfully diversify our revenue

Framework overview 

The Remuneration Framework is designed to support the Group’s strategic priorities by aligning Jumbo’s short- and long-term 

objectives with shareholder and business objectives. This is achieved through a combination of fixed remuneration and short a nd 

long-term incentives aligned to Group strategy and based on key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results and 

company values. This framework overview details how the Remuneration Framework is applied to Executive KMP.

Annual Report 2023 

Executive remuneration 

Reviewed annually and operating over a three-year cycle, the current Remuneration Framework commenced on 1 July 2022 and 

will conclude on 30 June 2025. Our approach has been informed by factors including an independent review by an external 

remuneration consultant, proxy advisor and shareholder feedback, and our desire to pursue sustainable long-term growth for the 

Group and our shareholders. 

The PCC completed a review of the Remuneration Framework in FY22 through independent remuneration advisor, Crichton + 

Associates. The starting point for the review of Executive remuneration was to identify a peer group of companies against which 

Jumbo could be benchmarked for the purpose of setting an applicable level of Total Remuneration Opportunity (TRO) for 

Executives going forward. The TRO for each Executive is intended to be positioned at the 3rd quartile, that is between the median 

and 75th percentile of Executive remuneration of the comparator benchmark group. TRO above the 75th percentile may be 

accessed if Jumbo outperforms. 

The comparator companies used for the purposes of the benchmark assessment of Executive remuneration were determined 

based on Market Capitalisation (MCAP). The Comparator Group – MCAP ASX consists of ASX listed companies with a market 
capitalisation narrowly ranged in relation to Jumbo, with a slight upward emphasis given the growth aspirations of the business. 

Jumbo (MCAP) was positioned at about the median of this group at the time of benchmarking. 

In FY23, enhancements to the Remuneration Framework were implemented. A notable change resulting from the review involved 

the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) component of remuneration. Under the new framework equity grants will be awarded annually, 
contingent on the achievement of performance hurdles. Performance will be tested on the vesting date and the equity is at risk 

until vesting. All equity is held subject to service and performance for three years from grant date.  

The move to an annual grant allocation achieves a more dynamic and flexible form of long term incentivisation. A second 

performance condition of earnings per share was also introduced. The long-term incentive is intended to reward Executive KMP for 

sustainable long-term growth aligned with shareholders’ interests. The allocation values are intended to be positioned between 

the 3rd quartile of the relevant benchmark comparisons. 

Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) for Executive KMP will generally be positioned between the median and 62.5th percentile of rel evant 

comparable ASX listed companies assessed from time to time, as well as subject matter expertise and performan ce in the role. 

The review showed that the level of TFR for direct reports of the CEO were below market median, having not increased for the past 

two consecutive years at the time of the review. In response, the PCC recommended an increase of TFR for the CFO, CTO and COO, 

but due to market conditions the increase was deferred for 12 months to FY24. The PCC recommended that the CEO’s TFR and TRO 

remain unchanged for FY24. This recommendation was approved by the Board. 

In August 2022, Abby Perry joined the Executive KMP as Chief People Officer. The PCC recommended, and the Board approved, a 

similar percentage increase in TFR for the CPO for FY24. A staged increase of TFR for the CPO was recommended over the 
remaining period of the current Remuneration Framework, to position the TFR between the median and 62.5 th percentile of the 
comparator benchmark group. 

The TRO for the CFO, CTO and COO has increased modestly in FY24 but remains below the PCC’s targeted range. The TRO for the 

CPO is also below the targeted range and a stepped process to align the CPO within the target range has been agreed by the PCC 

and Board, to be implemented over a two-year period. The TRO mix for these Executives has also changed, with a higher weighting 

towards TFR, now 60% of TRO (previously 50%) with the remaining 40% split equally between the STI (20%) and LTI (20%) 
components. The new TRO mix for direct reports of the CEO seeks to balance the need for ongoing cost discipline in a low 

economic growth environment while ensuring Executives remain competitively remunerated for the role they perform. The PCC will 

continue to annually review the TRO, including the proportion of the at-risk components (STI and LTI), to ensure they align with the 

targeted range. A further benchmarking review is likely at the end of FY25.

Further details on key components 

Short-term incentive (STI) 
–  Performance against the STI scorecard is assessed by the PCC based on the Group’s annual audited results and financial 

statements and other data provided to the Committee and a recommendation is provided to the Board.   

–  Deferred rights convert into shares after a 12-month qualifying service period, with sale of shares restricted for the lock-up 

period. 

–  Executives will have entitlement to dividends and voting rights during their 12-month lock-up period.

Annual Report 2023 

Setting the annual  

The PCC set an organisational total financial STI pool before the start of the financial year based on 

STI pool 

growth from the prior financial year.  The financial STI pool is formed as follows:   
–  for every 1% of underlying NPAT growth between 6.0% to 10.0% underlying NPAT growth over the prior 

financial year, 0.5% of NPAT will be allocated to the STI pool   

–  for every 1% of underlying NPAT growth between 10.0% to 20.0% underlying NPAT growth over the prior 

financial year, 0.25% of NPAT will be allocated to the STI pool  

–  total organisational pool size will be capped at 5% of annual underlying NPAT  
 Each executive’s share of the total STI pool created will be based on a calculation schedule of 

receiving between 0% to 100% of their maximum potential Financial STI opportunity depending on the 

level of underlying NPAT growth achieved between 6% to 20%. As an example, if the underlying NPAT 

growth for the financial year lands at 12%, then the executive will receive 60% of their maximum 

Financial STI potential.   

Board discretion 

The Board retains absolute discretion in respect of STI awards and final vesting outcomes. As part of its 

overarching discretion, the Board may reduce final STI outcomes having regard to affordability 

considerations and the Group’s financial performance over the period.   

Long-term incentive (LTI) 

Rights are exercisable into shares three years after grant and achievement of the performance hurdles.  

Equity grants will be awarded annually. Performance will be tested on the vesting date and the equity is at risk until vesting. All 

equity is held subject to service and performance for 3 years from grant date. 

Vesting conditions 

Total Shareholder Return (60%) 
–  relative to the component companies within the Comparator Group share price measure based on 
the 20-trading day VWAP after release of the Financial Year end financial results (excluding the 

release date). 

–  The Comparator Group is the ASX 300 Accumulated Index (ASX: AXKOA) with no companies/sectors 

excluded.  

–  Vesting as follows:  

<50th percentile Target - 0% vesting;  

50th percentile Target - 50% vesting;  

>50th <75th percentiles between Target and Stretch - straight line vesting; and  

>=75th percentile Stretch - 100% vesting. 

Underlying Earnings per Share Growth (40%) 
–  Underlying Earnings Per Share Growth – 3-year compound annual growth rate over a 3-year 

performance period.  

–  Vesting as follows: 

<6% Hurdle – 0% vesting;  

>6% <8% between Hurdle and Target – straight line vesting;  

8% Target – 50% vesting;  

>8% <12% between Target and Stretch – straight line vesting; and 

>=12% Stretch – 100% vesting; 

Forfeiture and 

Termination 

In the event of resignation or dismissal for cause or significant underperformance prior to payment of 

the STI, an Executive KMP is not eligible for any STI award.   
If an Executive KMP had ceased employment on or after 1 April 2023 up to 30 June 2023 due to 

retirement, redundancy, permanent disability, or death, they may be eligible for a pro-rata STI award 
calculated up to the last day of their employment.  

Rights will lapse if the vesting conditions are not met. Rights will be forfeited on cessation of 

employment unless the Board determines otherwise as a ‘good leaver’, e.g., retirement due to injury, 

disability, death or redundancy. 

Malus and Clawback 

The PCC is responsible for assessing performance against KPIs and determining the STI and LTI to be 

paid. To assist in this assessment, the committee receives detailed reports on the performance from 

management which are based on independently verifiable data such as financial measures, market 

share, signed agreements and data available from independent providers.  

In the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement in Jumbo’s financial statements, the 

committee can cancel or defer performance-based remuneration and may also claw back 

performance-based remuneration paid in previous financial years.

30.  FY2023 Executive remuneration outcomes  

30.1  Statutory key performance indicators of the Group 

over the last five years 

We aim to align our executive remuneration to our strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder  value. The 

table below shows measures of the Group’s financial performance over the past five years as required by the Corporations Act 

2001. However, these are not necessarily consistent with the measures used in determining the variable amounts of remuneration 

to be awarded to KMP (see 3.3 above). As a consequence, there may not always be a direct correlation between the statutory key 

performance measures and the variable component awarded.

For FY2024, the PCC determined an increase is to be made to the fixed remuneration for the Executive KMP. This increase is 

inclusive of statutory superannuation contributions that will increase to 11% from 1 July 2023.  

30.3  Short-term incentive outcomes 

The Group's performance in FY2023 was impacted by an unfavourable run of jackpots, resulting in a 2.8% increase in underlying 
NPAT growth. Underlying NPAT was also impacted by the amortisation of acquired intangible assets for Stride and StarVale. 

Excluding this impact, underlying Net Profit After Tax before the amortisation of acquired intangible assets increased 8.5%. A 

number of operational targets were achieved, supporting future growth and sustainability. Employee engagement was down 13% 

to 77% (90% in FY22), attributable to the transition to hybrid work and inclusion of acquired businesses undergoing integration. As a 

result of the performance, the Board awarded Executives 40.5% of their respective maximum short-term incentives. Half of this 

incentive is payable in cash with the remaining portion payable in the form of restricted rights with all related expenses accounted 

for in FY2023. The FY2023 performance against key measures and the impact on variable remuneration are outlined below.

50% of any STI for Executive KMP will be awarded in performance rights to ordinary shares with the number of rights based on the 
10-day VWAP period up to 30 June of each year. The rights will vest and convert into shares after a 12-month time based qualifying 

period provided the Executive remains employed by the Group at the vesting date, unless otherwise determined by the Board. The 

sale of shares is restricted for a further 12 months, resulting in a total two-year lock up period. Executives will have full entitlement to 

dividends and voting rights during the 12-month lock-up period.  

The PCC has recommended the grant of 5,736 FY23 STI rights to Mike Veverka subject to shareholder approval at the 2023 AGM and

32.  Non-Executive Director Remuneration 

Jumbo is committed to ensuring that the composition of the Board includes Directors who possess an appropriate mix of skills, 

experience, expertise, and diversity to enable the Board to support the Group to deliver on outcomes aligned with our strateg ic 

priorities. Our strong corporate governance framework underpins the Board’s strategic objectives and commitment to 

shareholders and the community. 

The size and composition of the Board is determined in accordance with Jumbo’s Constitution and any applicable laws and 

regulations and comprises four members, including the CEO, Chairperson and two independent, Non-Executive Directors. In 

addition, the Board has extensive access to members of senior management who regularly attend Board meetings. Management 

makes presentations and engage in discussions with Directors, answer questions and provide input and perspective on their areas 

of responsibility. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) attends all Board meetings as an invitee. 

32.1  Non-Executive Director fees 

Non-Executive Directors receive a board fee and fees for chairing or participating on board committees per the table below. The 

fees are inclusive of superannuation. They do not receive performance-based pay or retirement allowances but may acquire 

rights as a salary sacrifice under a Non-Executive Director Rights Plan.  

The Non-Executive Director Rights Plan was established in March 2022. Jumbo may, at the discretion of the Board, offer and issue 
Awards to Non-Executive Directors in the form of Performance Rights. Rights are offered for a nil cost and are exercisable at nil cost. 

Rights will vest pro-rata if the services of the Director cease for any reason between 1 July and 30 June for each tranche of rights. 

Rights are restricted until they are exercised or expire. Rights will expire, if not exercised, three (3) years after the relevant vesting 

date for each tranche of Rights. Participants of the Rights Plan include Susan Forrester and Sharon Christensen.

In addition to Board and Committee fees, non-executive Directors are reimbursed for travel and other expenses reasonably 
incurred when attending meetings of the Board or conducting the business of Jumbo.  A minimum shareholding requirement 
(MSR) applies to non-executive Directors comprising holding fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to the value of 100% of 
annual board fees within five years of falling under the Remuneration Framework or appointment.

Annual Report 2023 

Jumbo Interactive Limited and its Subsidiaries 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial 

Statements 

For the year ended 30 June 2023 

About this report 

Jumbo Interactive Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly 

traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: JIN), and is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the financial 

statements. The consolidated financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Jumbo Interactive Limited (th e 

Company) and its subsidiaries and together are referred to as the Group or Jumbo. 

The consolidated financial statements were approved for issue in accordance with a resolution by the Directors on 25 August 2023. 
The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the consolidated financial statements. 

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which: 

• 

• 

• 

have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accountings Standards and Interpretations 

issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by 

the International Financial Standards Board; 

have been prepared under the historical cost convention; 

are presented in Australian dollars (A$), with all amounts in the financial report being rounded off in accordance with the 

requirements of ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 issued by the Australian 

Securities and Investments Commission to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated; 

•  where necessary, comparative information has been restated to conform with changes in presentation in the current year; 

and 

• 

adopts all new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the 

operations of the Group effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2022. 

The notes to the financial statements 

The notes include financial information which is required to understand the consolidated financial statements and is material and 

relevant to the operations, financial position and performance of the Group. Information is considered material and relevant  if, for 
example: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the amount in question is significant because of its size or nature; 

it is important for understanding the results of the Group; 

it helps explain the impact of significant changes in the Group’s business – for example, acquisitions and impairment write 

downs; and 

it relates to an aspect of the Group’s operations that is important to its future performance. 

Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of 

the financial statements are provided throughout the notes of the financial statements. 

 
79 

Annual Report 2023 

Significant judgements and estimates 

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements and applied 

estimates of future events. Judgements and estimates which are material to the consolidated financial statements include: 

Principal versus agent considerations 

Estimated useful life of website development costs 

Goodwill and other intangible assets 

Contingent consideration at fair value

In addition, in preparing the financial statements, the notes to the financial statements were ordered such that the most 

relevant information was presented earlier in the notes and that the disclosures that management deemed to be immaterial 

were excluded from the notes to the financial statements. The determination of the relevance and materiality of disclosures 
involved significant judgement. 

Key events and transactions for the reporting period 

The financial position and performance of the Group was affected by the following events and transactions during the  reporting 

period: 

1.  Lower levels of customer activity and large jackpot activity which in turn impacted Lottery Retailing TTV and revenue. 

2.  The ‘step up’ in the TLC service fee from 2.5% to 3.5% of the subscription cost of the lottery tickets sold, resulting in a significantly 

higher cost of sales in Lottery Retailing. 

3.  The acquisition of Stride Management Corp. in Canada for cash on 1 June 2022 (see Note 20: Business Combination for details). 

As a result FY2022 only includes a one-month contribution from Stride, while FY2023 includes a full 12-month contribution. 

4.  The acquisition of the StarVale Group of Companies in the UK using a combination of cash and debt on 1 November 2022 (see 

Note 20: Business Combination for details). As a result, FY2023 includes an eight-month contribution from StarVale (FY2022: nil). 

5.  Payment of dividends (see Note 16: Dividends for details).

Annual Report 2023 

Recognition and measurement 

The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: 

Sale of Goods and/or Rendering of Services 

Revenue from sale of goods and/or rendering of services is recognised when control of the goods or services is transferred to  the 

buyer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for these goods and/or 

services. Control is the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits  from, an 

asset. Indicators that control has passed includes that the customer has (i) a present obligation to pay, (ii) physical possession of 

the asset(s), (iii) legal title, (iv) risk and rewards of ownership, and (v) accepted the asset(s). 

Lottery Retailing revenue includes agent commission received from The Lottery Corporation and administration fees received 

from customers at the time an entry is purchased by the customer in Draw Lottery Games, Charity Lottery Games and Instant Win  
Games. Revenue is derived at a point-in-time with payment terms of 7 days and immediately. 

SaaS revenue includes the development, supply and maintenance of proprietary software-as-a-service (SaaS) for authorised 

Business, Charity and Government lotteries and is recognised as the software licence fee received from customers once the 

service has been rendered. Revenue is derived at a point-in-time with payment terms of 14 days after invoice date. 

Managed services revenue is recognised as the commission or service fee received from customers when the official draw for 

each lottery is completed or once the service has been rendered, including the provision of SaaS-related services in the lottery 

market on an international basis. This includes Gatherwell using their proprietary lottery software platform to provide ‘lottery-in-a-

box' lottery management services to society lotteries in the UK, StarVale providing a full range of weekly lottery, raffle and prize 

draw services in the UK, and Stride using their proprietary lottery software platform and digital payments solution to provide lottery 

project management services to charities in Canada. Revenue is derived at a point-in-time with payment terms of between date 

of invoice to 14 days after invoice date. 

Interest 

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. The effective interest method uses the effecti ve 

interest rate which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial asset. 

Profit on disposal of entity 

Revenue is recognised at the time of Completion as the sale proceeds received less the net assets disposed. 

Note 3: Expenses 

Profit before income tax includes the following specific expenses: 

Cost of sales 
–  Sale of goods 
–  Rendering of services 
Total cost of sales

Annual Report 2023 

Recognition and measurement 

Current taxes 

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income  tax 

rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between 

the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. 

Deferred taxes 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 

for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases, at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or 

liabilities settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. Exceptions are made 

for certain temporary differences arising on initial recognition of an asset or a liability if they arose in a transaction, o ther than a 
business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit. 

Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be 

available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of  

investments in subsidiaries and associates where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary 

differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Current and deferred tax balances relating to amounts recognised directly in other comprehensive income are also recognised 

directly in other comprehensive income. 

Tax consolidation 

Jumbo Interactive Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled subsidiaries are part of a tax consolidated group under 

Australian taxation law since 1 July 2006. Jumbo Interactive Limited is the head entity in the tax consolidated group. Entities within 

the tax consolidation group have entered into a tax funding agreement (TFA) and tax sharing deed (TSD) with the head entity. 

Under the terms of the TFA, Jumbo Interactive Limited and each of the entities in the tax consolidation group have agreed to pay 

(or receive) a tax equivalent payment to (or from) the head entity, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of the 

entity. 

Note 5: Earnings per share (EPS) 

(a) Basic earnings per share 

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary 

shares outstanding. 

(b) Diluted earnings per share 

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary 

shares outstanding after adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Recognition and measurement 

Trade receivables are recognised at original invoice amounts less an allowance for uncollectible amounts, and generally have 

repayment terms ranging from 7 to 31 days. 

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by AASB 9, which requires the use of 

the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. Refer Note 19(b): Financial risk management for details.

impairments. 

(ii) Subsequent costs 

Improvements to leasehold property are recognised as a separate asset. 

All repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the reporting period in which they occur. 

(iii) Depreciation and amortisation 

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated or amortised from the date of acquisition, or, in respect of internally generat ed 

assets, from the time an asset is held ready for use. 

Plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs, net of their residual values, over their 

estimated useful lives. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
93 

Annual Report 2023 

Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of either the unexpired term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the 

improvements. 

The depreciation and amortisation rates used during the year were based on the following range of useful lives. 

Plant and equipment  

Two to five years 

Leasehold improvements  

Up to six years 

The depreciation and amortisation rates are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate. An asset’s carrying amount is written 

down to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying value is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

(iv) Derecognition 

An item of property, plant or equipment is derecognised when it is disposed of or no future economic benefits are expected from 

its use or disposal. 

Gains and losses on disposal are calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the asset’s carrying value 

and are included in profit or loss in the year that the item is derecognised.

Significant judgements and estimates 

Impairment assessment of goodwill and domain names 

A key judgement by management with regards to the (i) Lottery Retailing Cash Generating Unit (CGU) is that the reseller 

agreements with The Lottery Corporation will continue, (ii) Software-as-a-Service CGU is that software licence agreements with 

customers will continue, and (iii) Managed Services CGU is that the lottery management agreements with customers will 

continue. The key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations are discussed further in Note 9(b). Goodwill and domain 

names are tested for impairment half yearly. 

Impairment assessment of other intangible assets 

The Group considers half yearly whether there have been any indicators of impairment and then tests whether non-current 

assets have incurred any impairment in accordance with the accounting policy. 

Estimated useful life of website development costs 

Management estimates the useful life of intangible assets-website development costs based on the expected period of time 

over which economic benefits from the use of the asset will be derived. Management reviews useful life assumptions on an 

annual basis having given consideration to variables including historical and forecast usage rates, technological 

advancements and changes in legal and economic conditions. 

The amortisation period relating to the website developments costs is five years. 

Estimated useful life of customer contracts and relationships 

Management estimates the useful life of intangible assets-customer contracts and relationships based on the expected period 

of time over which economic benefits from the use of the asset will be derived. Management reviews useful life assumptions on 

an annual basis having given consideration to variables including any changes in customer contract terms and conditions, 

customer net attrition, and changes in legal and economic conditions. 

The amortisation period relating to customer contracts and relationships is ten years. 

Domain names 

Domain names have an indefinite useful life because: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

there is no time limit on the expected usage of the domain names; 

licence renewal is automatic on payment of the renewal fee without satisfaction of further renewal conditions; 

the cost is not significant when compared with future economic benefits expected to flow from renewal. As such, the useful 

life can include the renewal period; and 

since there is no limit on the number of times the licence can be renewed this leads to the assessment of “indefinite” useful 

life. 

This assessment has been based on: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

technical, technological, commercial and other types of obsolescence; 

the stability of the industry in which the asset operates and changes in the market demand for the products and/or 

services output from the asset; 

the level of maintenance expenditure required to obtain the expected future economic benefits from the asset and the 

entity’s ability and intention to reach such a level; and 

the period of control over the asset and legal or similar limits on the use of the asset.

(b) Impairment testing of Cash-Generating Units (CGU)  

Recognition and measurement 

Goodwill 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the 

identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. Goodwill is not amortised but is measured at cost less any 

accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in 

circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the car rying 

amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. 

Goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the combination’s synergies. 

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates. 

Impairment losses on goodwill cannot be reversed. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
96 

Annual Report 2023 

Intellectual Property 

Acquired intellectual property is stated at cost and is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Intellectual  

property is considered to have an indefinite useful life and is not amortised. The carrying value of intellectual property is tested for 

impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. 

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any reversal of impairment losses of intellectual property is recognised in profit 

or loss. 

Website Developments Costs 

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalis ed 

only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for us e; 

ability to use the intangible asset; how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; the availabili ty of 

adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the intangible asset; and ability to measure reliably the expenditure 

attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 

Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a straight-line basis matched to the future economic benefits over the 

useful life of the project of five years. This is included as part of the carrying amount of SaaS CGU. 

Customer contracts and relationships 

Customer contracts and relationships acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period 

of their expected benefit, being their finite life of between 5 and 10 years. 

The Reseller Agreements with The Lottery Corporation Limited (TLC), which were extended for a further 10 years in August 2020 

(Agreement) for $15,000,000 (2022: $15,000,000) has been represented as other non-current assets to conform with current year 

disclosure. This is included as part of the carrying amount of the relevant CGU. 

Software 

Software acquired in a business combination is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being 

their finite life of 5 years. This is included as part of the carrying amount of the relevant CGU. 

Domain Names 

Acquired domain names are stated at cost and are considered to have indefinite useful lives and are not amortised. The useful life 

is assessed annually to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life assessment. The 

carrying value of domain names is tested semi-annually at each reporting date for impairment.

The CGUs include Lottery Retailing, Software-as-a-Service, Managed Services United Kingom Gatherwell, Managed Services United 

Kingdom StarVale and Managed Services Canada.  

Lottery Retailing 

Goodwill has been allocated to the Lottery Retailing CGU which is an operating segment. 

The value in use calculations performed for all cash generating units use cash flow projections based on actual operating results, 

the Board approved budget for FY24, and forecasts drawn from FY25 to FY28 which are based on management’s estimates of 

underlying economic conditions, past financial results, and other factors anticipated to impact the cash generating units’ 

 
 
 
97 

Annual Report 2023 

performance. The terminal value of all CGU’s has been forecasted using a nominal growth rate of 2% (2022: 3%) The growth rate 

used in these projections does not exceed the historical growth rate of the relevant CGU. 

Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculation of the CGU are as follows: 

Discount rate 

Terminal value growth rate 

TLC reseller agreements continue beyond current agreement periods 

2023 

17.5% 

2.0% 

2022 

15.75% 

3% 

The discount rate used is a pre-tax calculated weighted average cost of capital based on the capital asset pricing model and is 

specific to the relevant segment in which the unit operates. Management determined projections based on past performance and 

its expectations for the future. The growth rate used is consistent with those used in industry reports.  

The estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded the carrying amount by approximately $243,845,000 (2022: $214,232,000). 

Sensitivity analyses performed indicate a reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions for the Lottery Retailing CGUs 

would not result in impairment. 

Should the TLC reseller agreements be cancelled or not be extended for further periods when they expire on 25 August 2030, an 

impairment loss would be recognised up to the maximum carrying value of $13,802,000 (2022: $15,529,000). 

Software-as-a-Service 

Domain names have been allocated to the Software-as-a-Service CGU which is an operating segment.  

The recoverable amount of the CGU is based on a value-in-use calculation using a discounted cash flow model based on a one-

year budget projection less an allocation of corporate expenses, approved by the Board and extrapolated over a five-year period 

using a steady rate, together with a terminal value. The growth rate used in these projections does not exceed the historical growth 

rate of the relevant CGU.

The discount rate used is a pre-tax calculated weighted average cost of capital based on the capital asset pricing model and is 

specific to the relevant segment in which the unit operates. Management determined projections based on past performance and 

its expectations for the future. The growth rate used is consistent with the Lottery Retailing CGU which  contributes ~80% of SaaS 

revenue.  

The estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded the carrying amount by approximately $107,949,000 (2022: $138,545,000). 

Sensitivity analyses performed indicate a reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions for the Software -as-a-

Service CGUs would not result in impairment. 

Should the customer contracts (which are included as part of the carrying amount) be cancelled or not be extended for further 
periods when they expire, an impairment loss would be recognised up to the maximum carrying value of $17,528,000 (2022: 

$17,425,000). 

Managed Services 

The Managed Services is comprised of three CGUs – Managed Services UK (Gatherwell and StarVale) and Managed Services 
Canada (Stride). 

Managed Services United Kingdom Gatherwell 

Goodwill has been allocated to the Managed Services United Kingdom Gatherwell CGU which is an operating segment. 

The recoverable amount of the CGU is based on a value-in-use calculation using a discounted cash flow model based on a one-

year budget projection less an allocation of corporate expenses, approved by the Board and extrapolated over a five-year period 

using a steady rate, together with a terminal value. The growth rate used in these projections does not exceed the historical growth 

rate of the relevant CGU.

The estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded the carrying amount by approximately $2,020,312 (2022: $4,995,000). 

Management has identified that a reasonably possible change in two key assumptions could cause the carrying amount to 

exceed the recoverable amount. The following table shows the amount by which these two assumptions would both need to

Impairment of non-financial assets 

Assets are tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate 

that the carrying amount may not be recovered. 

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. For the 

purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash fl ows 

which are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets. 

The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, the 

estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects market assessments of the 

time value of money and the specific risks of the asset. 

Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that incur impairment are reviewed 

for possible reversal of impairment at each reporting period.

The Group leases land and buildings for its offices under agreements of between two to nine years with, in some cases, options to 

extend which have been included in the lease liability where the options are expected to be exercised. The leases have various 

escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms of the leases are renegotiated. The Group also leases plant and equipment under 

agreements of four years. 

The Group leases land and buildings and office equipment under agreements of less than one year. These leases are either short -

term or low-value, so have been expensed as incurred and not capitalised as right-of-use assets. 

For impairment testing, the right-of-use assets have been allocated to the Lottery Retailing and SaaS CGUs based on the 

headcount assigned to each operating segment. Refer to Note 9: Intangible assets for further information on the impairment 

testing key assumptions and sensitivity analysis. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
100 

Annual Report 2023 

Recognition and measurement 

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 consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the 

lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any 

remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

The 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.

The Lottery Corporation extension fee 

An extension fee was payable when the 10-year TLC Reseller Agreements were executed on 25 August 2020. The extension fee is 

capitalised as the Reseller Agreements will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be reliably measured.  

The extension fee has a finite life and is amortised on a straight-line basis matched to the economic benefits over the useful life of 

the Reseller Agreements of 10 years, and is also tested for impairment indicators. 

There was a change In the presentation of The Lottery Corporation extension fee from operating asset under AASB 138 Intangible 

assets to capital asset under AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with Customers.

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the year end and which 

remains unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and have 7-to-31-day payment terms. 

(i) Employee benefits 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be 

settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are recognised in other liabilities in respect of employees’ serv ices 

rendered up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when leave is taken and measured at the actual rates paid or payable. 

(ii) Superannuation 

Employees have defined contribution superannuation funds. Contributions are recognised as an expense as they become 

payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments  is 

available. 

(iii) Termination benefits 

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the retirement date, or when an employee accepts 

voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits as an expense and a liabi lity on 

the earlier of when the Group: 

• 

• 

can no longer withdraw the offer and the benefits; and 

recognises costs for restructuring under AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and which involves  

the payment of termination benefits. 

Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.

(i) Long service leave 

Liabilities for long service leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting peri od. They 

are recognised as part of the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to 
be made in respect of services provided by employees to the end of the reporting period. Consideration is given to expected f uture 

salaries and wages levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted 

using corporate bond rates at the end of the reporting period with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as 

possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Recognition and measurement 

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the prese nt 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 t he 

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 t o 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. 

Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised 

in the Statement of Financial Position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge for 

the right-of-use assets (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in 

finance costs). For classification within the Statement of Cash Flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the 

principal portion of the lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities.

The Group’s objective is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and sustain  

future development of the business. 

The Group monitors its capital structure by reference to its capital management strategy. 

The gearing ratio is calculated as total net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and 

cash equivalents (up to a minimum of zero). Total capital is net debt plus total equity. Aside from the on-market share buy-back 
announced on 26 August 2022, there were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. The 

Group’s Dividend policy remains to pay out a range of 65% to 85% of statutory NPAT.

Issued capital represents the amount of consideration received for securities issued or paid for securities bought back by Jumbo. 

Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are deducted from the consideration received, net of  

income taxes. On various dates during the period, the share buyback was completed on-market. 

(b) Ordinary shares 

Ordinary shares have no par value, and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised share capital. 

Ordinary shareholders are entitled to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the 
number of and amounts paid on the shares held. Every ordinary shareholder present at a meeting in person or by proxy is entitled 
to one vote on a show of hands and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote. 

(c) Equity rights 

Details of the employee Equity Rights Plan, including details of options issued, exercised and lapsed during the financial year and 

options outstanding at the end of the financial year are set out in the Remuneration Report and Note 26: Share-Based Payments.

Profits appropriation reserve 

The profits appropriation reserve records accumulated profits available for distribution at the Directors’ discretion. In June 2010, 

there was a change in the test for payment of dividends from a ‘profit test’ to ‘solvency test’ (s254T Corporations Act 2001), and the 

profits appropriation reserve was established to ensure the accumulated losses up until then were ‘ring-fenced’ and that future 

profits were available for distribution, in particular for dividend payments. 

Share-based payments reserve 

The share-based payments reserve records items recognised as expenses on the fair value of share-based remuneration 

provided to employees. This reserve can be reclassified as retained earnings if options lapse. 

Foreign currency translation reserve 

The foreign currency translation reserve records the foreign exchange differences arising on translation of investments in foreign 

controlled subsidiaries. Amounts are reclassified to profit or loss when an entity is disposed of.

Annual Report 2023 

Note 19: Financial risk management 

The Group has exposure to a variety of financial risks including market risk (foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk),  credit risk 

and liquidity risk. 

Financial risk management is performed by a central treasury function on behalf of the Group under the Treasury Policy approved 

by the Board annually. Speculative activities are strictly prohibited. Compliance with the Treasury Policy is monitored on an 

ongoing basis through regular reporting to the Board. 

There is a risk that any future economic downturn could reduce disposable income and consequently may impact customer 

spending levels. 

(a) Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that adverse movements in foreign exchange and interest rates will affect the Group’s financial performance 

or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Group measures market risk using cash flow at risk. The objective of risk 

management is to manage the market risks inherent in the business to protect profitability and return on assets. 

(i) Foreign exchange risk 

Exposure to foreign exchange risk 

Foreign exchange risk arises from commercial transactions (transactional risks) and recognised assets and liabilities  (translational 

risks) that are denominated in or related to a currency that is not in the Group’s functional currency. The Group’s foreign e xchange 

risk relates largely to Great British Pound (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD) and Fiji Dollar (FJD). 

Risk management 

The Group's treasury function monitors the Group’s exposure regularly and utilise the spot market to buy and sell specified 

amounts of foreign currency to manage this risk. Transactional risks are managed predominantly within the Group’s pricing 

policies through the regular review of prices in foreign currency. 

Sensitivity on foreign exchange risk 

Any movement in foreign exchange rates would not be significant to the Group. 

(ii) Interest rate risk 

Exposure to interest rate risk 

The Group has interest bearing assets and therefore its income and operating cash flows are subject to changes in market 

interest rates. 

At the reporting date, the Group has exposure to the following interest rates:

Annual Report 2023 

Risk management 

The Group manages cash flow interest rate risk by using term deposits with banks for various periods. The weighted average 

maturity of outstanding term deposits is approximately 57 days (2022: 57 days). Term deposits currently in place cover 

approximately 15% (2022: 11%) of the total cash and cash equivalent balances. 

Sensitivity on market risks 

The following table summarises the gain/(loss) impact of a 200 basis points (bps) interest rate change on net profit and equity 

before tax, with all other variables remaining constant, as at 30 June 2023:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 

contractual obligations. Credit risk arises principally from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. 

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at the end of the reporting period to 

recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in th e 

statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. Assets are pledged as security as detailed in Note 18(b). 

Credit risk is managed on a Group basis through the Board approved Treasury Policy and is reviewed regularly by the Board. 

The Board monitors credit risk by actively assessing the rating quality and liquidity of counter parties: 

•

•

•

Surplus funds are only invested with banks and financial institutions with a Standard and Poor’s rating of no less than A and  to

a limited amount at any one financial institution; 

All potential customers are rated for credit worthiness taking into account their size, market position and financial standing,

and the risk is measured using debtor aging analysis; and

Customers that do not meet the Group’s strict credit policies may only purchase in cash or using recognised credit cards.

(i) Trade receivables

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit losses for all trade receivables as these 

items do not have a significant financing component. 

In measuring the expected credit losses, the trade receivables have been assessed on a collective basis as they possess shared 
credit risk characteristics. They have been grouped based on the days past due and also according to the geographical location 

of customers. 

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profile for sales over the past 60 months before 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022 

respectively as well as the corresponding historical credit losses during that period. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect 

current and forecast expected losses. 

Trade receivables are written off (i.e., derecognised) when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Failure to make 

payments within 180 days from the invoice date and failure to engage with the Group on alternative payment arrangement 

amongst other is considered indicators of no reasonable expectation of recovery.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulties in meeting the obligations associated with its financia l liabilities. The 

Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate cash balances are maintained to 

meet its liabilities when due.

(d) Fair value hierarchy

The fair value of cash, cash equivalents and non-interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value 

due to their short-term maturity. 

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, unlisted investments) are determined 

using valuation techniques. The valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where possible and rely as little 

as possible on entity specific estimates. 

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three-level 

hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: 

•

•

•

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the 

measurement date

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 

or indirectly 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year. 

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values 

due to their short- term nature. 

The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated by discounting the probability-adjusted profit in Stride at the 

company’s weighted average cost of capital.

Significant judgements and estimates 

A key judgement by management is a 91% probability of the contingent consideration being paid following the 30 June 2023 

financial year end. 

(a) Consideration transferred 

Acquisition-related costs of $844,000 are not included as part of the consideration transferred and have been recognised as an 

expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, as part of administrative expenses 
FY2023. 

The actual net working capital and cash was in excess of the target working capital and cash resulting in a settlement adjustment 

$559,000 being paid to the vendor of StarVale. 

(b) Contingent consideration 

The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Group to pay up to an additional undiscounted amount of GBP4,500,000 

(~$7,940,000) in cash to the StarVale vendors if certain Profit targets are met, to be paid in a single instalment following the 30 June 

2023 financial year end. 

The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement of $8,411,000 was estimated by calculating the face value of the 

estimated earnout payable based on the assumed probability-adjusted profit in StarVale of GBP2,390,000 (~$4,467,000) for the 12-

month period to 30 June 2023. 

The probability-adjusted profit in StarVale is recalculated at each reporting date with any gains/losses on the fair value of the 

contingent consideration recognised in profit or loss. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
114 

Annual Report 2023 

At 30 June 2023, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability (including movements on foreign exchange translation of 

$17,000) is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as: 

Current contingent consideration 

Non-current contingent consideration 

Total 

(c) Identifiable net assets 

$000s 

8,391 

- 

8,391 

Developed software and customer contracts and relationships have been identified as separately identifiable assets. These ass ets 

have been valued by an independent valuer according to the cost approach/cost to create methodology for developed software 

and income approach/excess earnings methodology for customer contracts and relationships. 

(d) Goodwill 

The goodwill that arose on the combination can be attributed to Stride and StarVale’s position, competitive advantage and growth 

prospects in the charities’ lottery market. No amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. 

(e) Revenue and profit contribution 

StarVale contributed TTV of $83,187,000, revenue of $6,917,000 and net profit of $2,765,000 to the Group from the date of acquisition 

to 30 June 2023. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2022, the contribution to the Group's pro-forma TTV, revenue and net profit 

after tax for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 would have been ~$128,776,000, $11,491,000 and $4,277,000 respectively. 

Recognition and measurement 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or 

other assets are acquired. 

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued, or 

liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. 

For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate 

share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for 

appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated 

entity’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition date. 

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the 

acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is 

recognised in profit or loss. 

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition date fair value. Subsequent changes in 
the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent 

consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. 

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 informati on 

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.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Jumbo Interactive Limited and its subsidiaries at  30 

June each year (the Group). Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group has control over 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 use  its power to 

affect those returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and a re 

deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases. 

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intragroup transactions have been 

eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset 

transferred.

Annual Report 2023 

Changes in ownership interests 

When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasu red to its 

fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in the profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying value for 

the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or available-for-sale financial 

asset. In addition, any amount previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity, is accounted for as if 

the Group had directly disposed of the relative assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other 

comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. 

If the ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture is reduced, but significant influence or control is retained, on ly a 

proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where 

appropriate.

Lotto Points Plus Inc is an investment company, with its only investment being a 16.9% (2022: 16.9%) shareholding (non-voting) in 

Lottery Rewards Inc., USA which was dissolved on 30 November 2020. 

Recognition and measurement 

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. Associates are accounted for 

in the parent entity financial statements at cost and the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accoun ting. 
Under the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognised in 

consolidated profit or loss and the Group’s share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income of associates is recognised in 

consolidated other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying 

amount of the investment. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, while they reduce 

the carrying amount of the investment in the consolidated financial statements. 

When the Group’s share of post-acquisition losses in an associate exceeds its interest in the associate (including any long-term 

interests that form part of the Group’s net investment in the associates), the Group does not recognise further losses unless it has 

obligations to, or has made payments, on behalf of the associate. 

The financial statements of the associates are used to apply the equity method. The end of the reporting period of the associ ates 
and the parent are identical and both use consistent accounting policies.

The Jumbo Interactive Limited Employee Option Plan was ratified at the annual general meeting held on 28 October 2008. 

Employees are invited to participate in the scheme from time to time. Options vest when the volume weighted average share price 

over five consecutive trading days equals the exercise price and provided the staff member is still employed by the Group. When 

issued on exercise of options, the shares carry full dividend and voting rights. 

Options granted carry no dividend or voting rights. 

Fair value of options granted

There were no options granted during the 2023 financial year. 

Third parties 

There were no options granted during the 2023 financial year.  

Fair value of rights granted 

The indicative fair value of STI rights at grant date was determined by an independent valuer using the Black-Scholes option 

pricing model that takes into account the share price at grant date, exercise price, expected volatility, option life, expected 

dividends, and the risk-free rate. The inputs used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options granted during the year

Annual Report 2023 

Recognition and measurement 

The fair value of options granted to employees and consultants is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in 

equity (share-based payments reserve). The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the 

employees or consultants become unconditionally entitled to the options. Fair value is determined by an independent valuer us ing 

the Black-Scholes, Bi-nominal, and Monte Carlo Simulation option pricing models as appropriate. In determining fair value, no 

account is taken of any performance conditions other than those related to the share price of Jumbo Interactive Limited (“market 

conditions”). The cumulative expense recognised between grant date and vesting date is adjusted to reflect the Directors’ best 

estimate of the number of options that will ultimately vest because of internal conditions of the options, such as the employees 

having to remain with the Group until vesting date, or such that employees are required to meet internal sales targets. No expense  

is recognised for options that do not ultimately vest because internal conditions were not met. An expense is still recognised for 

options that do not ultimately vest because a market condition was not met. 

Where the terms of options are modified, the expense continues to be recognised from grant date to vesting date as if the terms 

had never been changed. In addition, at the date of the modification, a further expense is recognised for any increase in fair value 

of the transaction as a result of the change. 

Where options are cancelled, they are treated as if vesting occurred on cancellation and any unrecognised expenses are taken 

immediately to profit or loss. However, if new options are substituted for the cancelled options and designated as a replacement 

on grant date, the combined impact of the cancellation and replacement options are treated as if they were a modification.

Note 28: Summary of other significant 
accounting policies 

Other significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out in re levant 

sections of the notes below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

Where necessary, comparative information has been restated to conform with changes in presentation in the current year. 

(a) Basis of preparation 

(i) New, revised or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 

None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning   

1 July 2023 materially affected the amounts recognised in the current period or any other prior period and are not likely to affect 

future periods. 

(ii) New accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have  

not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2023. The consolidated entity's 

assessment of the impact of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated 

entity is not material. 

(b) Foreign currency transactions 

(i) Functional and presentation currency 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary 

economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are 

presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. 

(ii) Transactions and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at 

year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss , 

except when attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss on a net basis within other income or other expenses, unless they 

relate to borrowings, in which case they are presented as a part of finance costs. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
125 

Annual Report 2023 

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair 

value was measured. 

The functional currency of the overseas subsidiaries is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in 

which that entity operates. At the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these overseas subsidiaries are translated 

into the presentation currency of the Company at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period and income and expenses are 

translated at the average exchange rates for the year. 

All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income as a separate component of equity (foreign 

currency translation reserve). On disposal of a foreign entity, the cumulative exchange differences recognised in foreign currency 

translation reserves relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss. 

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign 

entity and translated at the closing rate. 

(c) Financial instruments 

(i) Non-derivative financial assets 

The Group initially recognises financial assets on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions 
of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have exp ired 

or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. If the financial asset is not subsequently accounted for at fair valu e through 

profit or loss, then the initial measurement includes transaction costs that are directly attributable to the asset’s acquisition or 

origination. On initial recognition, the Group classifies its financial assets as subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair 

value, depending on its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the 

financial assets. 

Refer to Note 23 for further details. 

(ii) Financial assets measured at amortisation cost 

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost, using effective interest method and net of any impairment, if: 

• 

• 

the asset is held within the business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and 

the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of princip al 

and interest. 

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset (or group of financial assets) 

is impaired. 

Refer to Notes 6 and 7 for further details. 

(iii) Non-derivative liabilities 

The Group initially recognises loans on the date when they originated. Other financial liabilities are initially recognised on the trade 

date. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. 

Non-derivative financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent 

to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 

Refer to Note 12 for further details. 

 
126 

Annual Report 2023 

(d) Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST, unless the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the 

Australian Taxation Office (ATO), in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the 

expense item. 

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST receivable or payable included. The net amount of GST recoverable 

from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising 

from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO, are classified as operating cash flows. 

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

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Jumbo Interactive Limited 

Report on the audit of the financial report 

Opinion 
We have audited the financial report of Jumbo Interactive Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries 
(collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 
June 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year 
then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, 
and the directors’ declaration. 

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

a.  Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as 30 June 2023 

and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and 

b.  Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

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

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

Key audit matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide 
a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit 
addressed the matter is provided in that context. 

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

Impairment Assessment of Goodwill and Non-current Assets  

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As at 30 June 2023 Goodwill totals 
$29,554,000. Note 9 discloses goodwill and 
other intangible assets allocated to each of 
the Group’s cash generating units (CGUs), the 
method applied in testing impairment, and the 
key assumptions used. 

The annual impairment assessment of 
intangible assets performed by the Group is a 
key audit matter due to the value of the 
intangible assets relative to the total assets, 
and the degree of estimation and judgement 
involved in the assessment including: terminal 
growth rate and discount rate, specifically 
concerning future discounted cash flows.   

Our audit considered the relevant requirements of 
the Australian Accounting Standard AASB 136 
Impairment of Assets.  

Our audit procedures included: 

►  Assessing the Group’s definition and 

identification of CGUs for consistency with 
relevant Australian Accounting Standards, and 
assessing any changes in CGUs including for 
acquisitions in the period.  We also assessed 
any impairment for each of the Group’s 
individually significant CGUs. 

►  Evaluating the Group’s indicators of 

impairment, including the Group’s market 
capitalisation compared to its net assets. 

►  Assessing the reasonability of the Group’s 

cashflow forecast models used to estimate the 
recoverable amount by: 

►  Assessing the mathematical accuracy and 
historical forecasting accuracy of the 
cash flow model. 

►  Agreeing the cash flows to board 

approved forecasts. 

►  Assessing the application of key 

assumptions used in the cashflow models. 

►  Performing sensitivities of the 

impairment model to assess the 
reasonably possible change in key 
assumptions relating to the cash flow 
forecasts, terminal growth rate or 
discount rate applied. 

► 

Involving our valuation specialists to evaluate 
the reasonability of the discount rate and 
terminal growth rate assumptions used by the 
Group. 

►  Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in 

Note 9 to the financial report.

Revenue Recognition  

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As at 30 June 2023 the Group recognised 
$118,712,000 of revenue.  Lottery 
Retailing revenue is significant and includes 
agent commission received from The 
Lottery Corporation and administration fees 
received from the customers at the time an 
entry is purchased by the customer as 
disclosed in  
Note 2.   

Significant audit effort is required in the 
assessment and measurement of Revenue 
recognition and is considered a key audit 
matter.   

Our audit considered the relevant requirements of 
the Australian Accounting Standard AASB 15 
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Our audit 
procedures included:  

►  Obtaining an understanding of the services 

rendered by the business segment of the Group 
and the related revenue recognition policy for 
the services rendered by the Group. 

►  Assessing revenue recognition processes and 
practices including the evaluation of key 
internal controls over revenue recognition and 
principal versus agent consideration. 

►  On a sample basis we assessed the 

completeness, accuracy and timing of revenue 
recognition on a net basis. In addition we tested 
the timeliness of revenue recognition by 
agreeing individual sales transactions to 
customer ticket purchase, obtaining evidence of 
payments from customers and the associated 
cost of sales related to the transaction.  

►  Assessing the customer liability account at year 
end to confirm revenue was recorded in the 
appropriate period for tickets purchased.  

►  Assessing the validity of the manual revenue 

journals by testing to supporting 
documentation.  

►  Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in 

Note 2 to the financial report. 

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the Company’s 2023 annual report, but does not include the financial report 
and our auditor’s report thereon. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

► 

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

►  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

►  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

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

►  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 

disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events 
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

►  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 

business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely 
responsible for our audit opinion. 

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

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

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

Report on the audit of the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

2023, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our

accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
