I am delighted to present the Kogan.com 
Ltd (Kogan.com) Annual Report for the 
financial year ended 30 June 2020 (FY20). 
This year the Business surpassed 2 million 
Active Customers whilst navigating 
challenging circumstances and delivered 
another year of strong growth of Gross 
Sales1, Revenue, Gross Profit, EBITDA1 
and NPAT.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Despite the incredible challenges, disruptions  
and sorrow that FY20 has imposed, our Business 
continued to invest in inventory to support our 
growth ambitions and customer offers, further 
diversified by launching four New Verticals, 
purchased one of Australia’s premier furniture  
and homeware retailers in Matt Blatt, successfully 
navigated the global pandemic and delivered the 
best financial results in its nearly 15‑year history.

In FY20 our Exclusive Brands portfolio business achieved 
growth of 26.4% on FY19, Third‑Party Brands stabilised 
and Kogan Marketplace is showing its true potential, 
accelerating Gross Sales1 by 71.2% in second half of 
FY20 versus the first half of FY20.

At 30 June 2020 we had a strong Balance Sheet  
with $146.7 million in cash, excluding $20.0 million of 
proceeds from the Share Purchase Plan completed in 
July 2020, and an undrawn debt facility of $30.0 million. 
Inventory levels were $112.9 million with more than 
99% of this being less than 365 days old.

Kogan.com’s portfolio continued to expand and diversify 
in FY20 through the launch of Kogan Money Super, 
Kogan Money Credit Cards, Kogan Energy and Kogan 
Mobile New Zealand. Each service offering is in 
partnership with industry leaders, bringing amazing 
value to our customers. The team also purchased Matt 
Blatt for $4.4 million dollars, launching the brand as an 
online‑only offering and combining Matt Blatt’s decades 
of industry expertise with our technology, systems and 
infrastructure to deliver a market‑leading offering.

The results the team has achieved in FY20 is a testament 
to the tremendous commitment and passion of everyone 
at Kogan.com. As always, they have delivered fantastic 
value to our customers with best‑in market offers.

growth in our Exclusive Brands portfolio business, 
continued scaling of the Kogan Marketplace and 
continued expansion of our New Verticals. Ruslan will 
discuss these opportunities in his review on page 3.

In relation to the achievements in FY20, of particular 
significance was the institutional placement of 
$100.0 million, allowing for further investment in 
inventory, continued expansion of the Kogan Marketplace 
platform and delivering capital that provides the potential 
for further successful acquisitions in line with the Matt 
Blatt purchase. This will accelerate the expansion of 
our platform, offerings and Active Customers.

Team

Our team at Kogan.com never fails to deliver on 
bringing our business strategy to life. I would like  
to recognise the commitment and contribution of 
each team member and thank them on behalf of  
the Board for delivering yet another incredible year.

Dividend

Following the outstanding results of FY20, the Board 
was delighted to declare total Dividends of 21.0 cents 
per share, fully franked. This represents year‑on‑year 
growth of 46.9%.

Looking ahead

The Board is excited about the opportunities ahead 
and we look forward to continuing to deliver our 
long‑term strategy for the benefit of our customers 
and shareholders into FY21 and beyond.

Strategic opportunities 

At Kogan.com we see enormous opportunity for 
growth in both our existing businesses and in the 
expansion of our portfolio. We anticipate further

We delivered strong growth in the Business 
in the midst of an extremely turbulent and 
challenging period for the world, the 
country and the Company. We have built a 
diversified, resilient business over many 
years, which has enabled us to help 
Australians in their time of need.

FOUNDER & CEO’S REPORT

Our Business has thrived through adversity, as years 
of preparation met opportunity this financial year, 
resulting in our largest ever growth in Gross Sales1, 
Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA1. We achieved this 
all while heavily investing in our platform and growing 
Active Customers which is expected to have ongoing 
long‑term benefits as new Active Customers 
continue repurchasing.

The year had many highlights, some of which were:

•  we successfully completed an institutional 

placement for $100.0 million which will allow 
the Business to capitalise on opportunities  
and accelerate growth.

These key highlights are the result of meticulous 
planning and execution by the Kogan team during  
the year, with no signs of slowing down moving 
into FY21.

•  Gross Sales1 outperformed the prior year by  

39.3% to $768.9 million;

•  Revenue, Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA1 
outperformed the prior year by 13.5%, 39.6% 
and 57.6%, respectively;

•  growth of Active Customers by 35.7%  

year‑on‑year, now totalling just under 2.2 million;

•  Exclusive Brands Revenue and Gross Profit grew 
by 26.4% and 43.7%, respectively, contributing 
51.3% of overall Gross Profit of the Business;

•  Kogan Marketplace was a standout performer 

during the year, exceeding all our expectations, 
increasing its Gross Sales1 by 71.2% in the second 
half of FY20 compared to the first half of the 
financial year;

•  EBITDA1 of $46.5 million was up $16.4 million 

on FY19;

•  we ended the year with a strong Balance Sheet, 
with cash of $146.7 million and an undrawn bank 
facility of $30.0 million at 30 June 2020;

•  we acquired and integrated Matt Blatt, one  

of Australia’s premier furniture and homewares 
brands and a pioneer of the online furniture 
industry in Australia; and

BUILDING THE KOGAN.COM PORTFOLIO

At Kogan.com, we’re continually evolving the  
Business to respond to the demands of our customers 
and to strengthen our competitive advantage.  
Our growing portfolio of businesses provides 
diversification of income, making us a more resilient 
business. We’re always looking for new ways to  
delight our customers.

In the past 12 months to 30 June 2020, just under 
2.2 million people have transacted with our retail 
platform and it is our loyal customer base that 
continues to drive most of the traffic to our platform.

We have invested heavily in our platform recording our 
largest marketing spend ever in FY20, that delivered 
Active Customer growth of 35.7% year‑on‑year.  
As the majority of newly acquired customers started 
shopping in the second half of the year we have  
not seen the full benefit on annual Gross Profit per 
customer, as many of these customers have only  
been shopping for a short while. We expect to  
have ongoing long‑term benefits as new Active 
Customers continue repurchasing.

New 
Verticals

Kogan Marketplace was a standout performer in  
FY20, exceeding all our expectations, increasing  
its Gross Sales1 by 71.2% in the second half of FY20 
compared to the first half of this financial year.  
We have broadened the product range available on 
Kogan.com to millions of items, making Kogan.com 
more relevant to more consumers at more times 
during the year. Importantly, the emergence of  
Kogan Marketplace has made the Company even  
more scalable by enabling us to grow infinitely  
without ongoing investment in inventory.

During FY20 we also delivered the acquisition and 
integration of Matt Blatt, a pioneer in online furniture 
retail in Australia. The new Matt Blatt was operating 
within 24 hours of signing the deal, and there are  
now more products available to Matt Blatt customers 
than ever in its near‑40 year history.

The first half of FY20 saw the launch of Kogan Super, 
Kogan Mobile New Zealand, Kogan Energy and Kogan 
Credit Cards. We are engaging with our Community 
more than ever.

These Verticals continue to deliver on our win‑win‑win 
mantra. They are a win for our customers through 
competitive market‑leading offers. They are a win  
for our partners by providing an effective and efficient 
customer acquisition channel. And they are a win for 
our business, enabling us to scale our offering and 
leverage our platform to provide incredible offers  
to our customers.

We have high expectations for our business and  
we fully expect the current growth trajectory to 
continue well into FY21.

PRODUCT OFFERING EXPANSION

We make data driven decisions backed by existing 
demand metrics to determine how we deploy capital 
on inventory. Our goal is not to create demand, but 
to service demand on the most popular products.

A perfect example of this is the continued expansion 
of our Exclusive Brands division, which is right at the 
heart of our business. This year it represented 51.3% 
of overall Gross Profit (FY19: 49.7%).

The increase in our product offering has meant our 
inventory holdings have also increased to $112.9 million 
(FY19: $75.9 million). More than 99% of inventory 
in‑warehouse at 30 June 2020 was less than 365 days 
old, demonstrating the effectiveness of our sourcing 
and marketing methodologies as well as the speed  
at which we are selling through.

AWARDS AND ACCOLADES

During the year we won a number of awards for 
Kogan Internet (Mozo and Finder), Kogan Mobile 
(Mozo) and Kogan Home Loans (Rate City). This is 
welcome recognition of the compelling deals we  
offer to the market and reinforces the success of  
our strategy. We are also extremely proud to be the 
winner of the most recent Australia Post Online Retail 
Industry Awards, which completed a three‑peat.  
What makes this award extra special is that it is voted 
on by the Australian public – for us, that’s the only 
vote that matters. There’s no vote more important 
than the vote of our customers. More than 1,350 
retailers were considered for this award and over 
285,000 Australians voted.

During FY21, we are due to further  
develop and enhance the Kogan Marketplace, 
grow our Active Customer base by  
investing in our platform, expanding our 
Exclusive Brands and Third‑Party Brands 
product divisions, and reviewing ongoing 
acquisition opportunities.

FY21 & BEYOND

As we look to FY21 we expect to see further growth in 
Exclusive Brands, the scaling up of Kogan Marketplace 
and New Verticals, and further growth in our Active 
Customer base.

We believe we are only at the beginning of this retail 
revolution and we look forward to delighting our 
customers with the benefits of these strategic 
investments for years to come.

had 2,183,000 Active Customers as at 30 June 2020 (compared with 1,609,000 as at 30 June 2019).

Exclusive Brands continued to achieve year‑on‑year Revenue growth with an increase of 26.4% on FY19. 
Exclusive Brands also achieved Gross Profit growth of 43.7%, resulting in a contribution of 51.3% to overall  
Gross Profit in FY20. This was achieved through ongoing investment in Exclusive Brands inventory to broaden 
our range and meet consumer demand from the growing base of Active Customers.

Third‑Party Brands returned to growth in Gross Profit, delivering an increase of 3.3% on FY19, through improved 
product selection and sourcing.

The success of Kogan Marketplace has resulted in Gross Sales1 increasing by 71.2% in 2HFY20 compared 
to 1HFY20. The exceptional growth of Kogan Marketplace has led to a period of transition for the Business. 
The Business is continually improving its proprietary marketplace platform which enables ongoing growth 
without a corresponding investment in inventory.

Kogan First memberships scaled significantly during FY20 as more and more customers recognise the 
significant value of the loyalty program.

The Business strategically increased its marketing activities in order to grow the platform and had an immediate 
impact on growth in Active Customers and is also expected to have ongoing long‑term benefits to the Business.

Variable Costs predominantly consist of warehousing and selling costs. The increase in these costs is largely 
driven by growing volumes of transactions and stock holdings that has allowed the Business to deliver its largest 
Gross Sales1 and Gross Profit ever.

In order to retain key talent and align their interests with our Shareholders, the Business has made strategic 
investments in team members. Team member costs are inclusive of the annual Short‑Term Incentive of 
$0.9 million for Senior Management following significant outperformance of budget. Long‑Term Incentives 
remain in place and team member costs have increased year‑on‑year, partly as a result. The majority of  
equity‑based compensation was issued in the period surrounding the IPO.

EBITDA1 of $46.5 million reflects an increase in EBITDA1 margin of 2.5pp to 9.3%. EBITDA1 was impacted  
by unrealised FX losses of $1.4 million which are non‑cash. Adjusted EBITDA1 excluding unrealised FX losses, 
equity‑based compensation and provision for penalties & costs grew to $49.7 million.

Kogan Mobile performed relatively in line with FY19, contributing over 10% of total Gross Profit and setting up a 
solid foundation for growth of Kogan Mobile New Zealand. Kogan Internet Customers grew 90.9% year‑on‑year, 
resulting in commission‑based Revenue increasing by 144.9% over the same time period.

Kogan Insurance, which includes our suite of insurance products, continues to scale. Commission‑based 
Revenues grew 36.0% year‑on‑year.

New Verticals launched in 1HFY20, Kogan Credit Cards, Kogan Superannuation, Kogan Energy and  
Kogan Mobile NZ are growing. Customers continue to receive great deals on the services they need.

STRATEGY, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

STRATEGY

Kogan.com’s strategy involves a number of initiatives aimed at sustaining long‑term growth, which include continued 
growth in our existing portfolio of businesses, the launch of further new verticals and selective & opportunistic M&A.

Kogan.com maintains a prudent and disciplined approach to capital deployment and continues to invest in 
growth opportunities in the medium to long‑term that generate Shareholder value.

EXCLUSIVE BRANDS STRATEGY

Exclusive Brands is a pillar of the Business and remains a focus area for FY21 and beyond. In FY20, Kogan.com 
achieved year‑on‑year revenue growth of 26.4% in Exclusive Brands. In addition, Exclusive Brands continues to 
be the largest contributor to Gross Profit, representing 51.3% of Gross Profit in FY20.

In FY21, the Business is focused on continuing to launch new products and new ranges, where there is proven 
demand. Our Exclusive Brands business benefits from:

• 

full control of the end‑to‑end supply chain

•  strong competitive advantage

•  building trusted brands renowned for “value“

•  compelling consumer offering

•  white goods as a new core category

• 

14+ years’ experience

NEW VERTICALS

We continue to explore opportunities to partner with industry leaders and bring more services to our customers 
at market‑leading prices.

Our ambition with all our New Verticals is to achieve more than 1% market share, as we have already done with 
Kogan Mobile. The Business is focused on growing the existing New Verticals to our goal market share and 
continuing to build our portfolio of services businesses.

kogan.com

RISKS

Set out below are the key financial and operational risks facing the Business. Kogan.com manages and seeks 
to mitigate these risks through internal review and control processes at the Board and management level.

Australian retail 
environment and 
general economic 
conditions may worsen

Many of Kogan.com’s products are discretionary goods and, as a result, sales levels 
are sensitive to consumer sentiment. Kogan.com’s offering of products, and its 
financial and operational performance, may be affected by changes in consumers’ 
disposable incomes, or their preferences as to the utilisation of their disposable 
incomes. Any reduction in the disposable incomes of Kogan.com’s customers as a 
result of changes to factors such as economic outlook, interest rates, unemployment 
levels and taxation may decrease consumer confidence and consumer demand,  
which may subsequently result in lower levels of revenue and profitability.

Competition may 
increase and change

Kogan.com could be adversely affected by increased competition in the various 
segments in which it operates. The Australian online retail market is highly 
competitive and is subject to changing customer preferences.

COVID‑19

Events related to the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID‑19) have resulted in significant 
market volatility. There is continued uncertainty as to ongoing and future response of 
governments and authorities globally as well as a likelihood of an Australian economic 
recession of unknown duration or severity. As such, the full impact of COVID‑19 to 
consumer behaviour, suppliers, employees and the Company are not fully known. 
Given this, the impact of COVID‑19 could potentially be materially adverse to the Company’s 
financial and operational performance. Further, any government or industry measures may 
adversely affect Kogan.com operations and are likely beyond the control of Kogan.com. 
In compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations, Kogan.com will continue to 
update the market in regard to any material impact of COVID‑19 on Kogan.com.

Inventory 
management

In order to operate its business successfully, Kogan.com must maintain sufficient 
inventory and also avoid the accumulation of excess inventory. 

Key supplier, service 
provider and 
counterparty factors

Performance and 
reliability of Kogan.
com’s websites, 
databases and 
operating systems

Manufacturing and 
product quality

Kogan.com has a large number of international suppliers and service providers, from 
which it sources a broad range of products and services. There is a risk that Kogan.com 
may be unable to continue to source products or services from existing suppliers or 
service providers, and in the future, to source products from new suppliers or services 
from new service providers, at favourable prices, on favourable terms, in a timely 
manner or in sufficient volume.

Kogan.com’s websites, Apps, databases, IT and management systems, including  
its ERP and security systems, are critically important to its success. The satisfactory 
performance, reliability and availability of Kogan.com’s websites, Apps, databases,  
IT and management systems are integral to the operation of the Business.

Kogan.com currently uses a wide range of third‑party suppliers to produce its Exclusive 
Brands products. While Kogan.com employs dedicated engineers to assess product 
samples, and uses third‑party inspection agencies for quality control and inspections, 
there is no guarantee that every supplier will meet Kogan.com’s cost, quality and 
volume requirements.

reputational product 
sourcing factors

The Kogan.com portfolio of Exclusive Brands names and related intellectual property 
are key assets of the Business. In addition, Kogan.com sells a range of Third‑Party 
Branded products, where the intellectual property is owned by third‑parties.

Exposure to litigation Kogan.com may be subject to litigation, claims, disputes and regulatory investigations, 

including by customers, suppliers, government agencies, regulators or other third 
parties. These disputes may be related to warranties, product descriptions, personal 
injury, health, environmental, safety or operational concerns, nuisance, negligence or 
failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Changes in GST and 
other equivalent taxes

Changes in local indirect tax, such as the goods and services tax in Australia (“GST”), 
and duty treatment of any of the markets in which Kogan.com operates, could have 
an impact on the sales of imported brands.

retention of key team 
members

Kogan.com relies on the expertise, experience and strategic direction provided by  
its Executive Directors and key team members. These individuals have extensive 
experience in, and knowledge of, Kogan.com’s business and the Australian online  
retail market. Additionally, successful operation of Kogan.com’s business depends  
on its ability to attract and retain quality team members.

reliance on third‑party 
payment providers

Kogan.com is exposed to risks in relation to the methods of payment that it currently 
accepts, including credit card, PayPal and vouchers. Kogan.com may incur loss from 
fraud or erroneous transactions.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

basis and to the full extent permitted by law against all losses or liabilities (including all reasonable legal costs)

Under the deeds of indemnity, insurance and access, Kogan.com must maintain a Directors’ and Officers’ 
insurance policy insuring a Director (among others) against liability as a Director and Officer of Kogan.com

the provisions of the insurance contract.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF AUDITORS

No indemnities have been given or insurance premiums paid, during or since the end of the year, for any person 
who is or has been an auditor of the Group.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

NON‑AUDIT SERVICES

During the year KPMG, the Group’s auditors, performed certain other services in addition to the audit and review 
of the financial statements.

The Board of Directors has considered the non‑audit services provided during the year by the auditor and  
is satisfied that the provision of those non‑audit services during the year is compatible with, and did not 
compromise the auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are  
satisfied that the services disclosed below did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for  
the following reasons:

•  All non‑audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group  

and have been reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure they did not adversely affect the integrity  
and objectivity of the auditor; and

•  The non‑audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence 
as set out in APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or 
auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting 
as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

INTRODUCTION

The Directors are pleased to present the FY20 Remuneration Report, outlining the Board’s approach to the 
remuneration for Key Management Personnel (KMP).

The Board recognises that the performance of the Group depends on the quality and motivation of its team 
members. The Group remuneration strategy therefore seeks to appropriately attract, reward and retain team 
members at all levels of the Business, but in particular for management and key executives. The Board aims 
to achieve this by establishing executive remuneration packages that include a mix of fixed remuneration, 
short‑term incentives and long‑term incentives.

The Report covers the following matters:

1.  Details of Key Management Personnel;

2.  Remuneration governance;

3.  Remuneration policy;

4.  Company’s performance;

5.  Details of remuneration;

6.  Equity instruments;

7.  Executive service agreements; and

8.  Key Management Personnel transactions.

DETAILS OF KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

Key Management Personnel (KMP) are individuals who have authority and responsibility for planning,  
directing and controlling the activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, and comprise the Directors  
and the Senior Executives of the Group, as listed below.

The Committee may invite any Director, including members of senior management.

A full Charter outlining the Committee’s responsibilities and the Process for Evaluation of Performance are

REMUNERATION POLICY

The Group has established incentive arrangements subsequent to listing on the ASX to assist in the attraction, 
motivation and retention of the executive team and other selected team members. To align the interests of 
its team members and the goals of the Group, the Directors have decided the remuneration packages of the 
executive team and other selected team members will consist of the following components:

•  Fixed remuneration (inclusive of superannuation);

•  Short‑term cash‑based incentives; and

•  Long‑term equity‑based incentives.

The payment of any cash and award of equity under the incentive arrangements will be subject to the 
achievement of performance criteria or hurdles set by the Board. The remuneration packages of the senior 
management team are determined by the Committee and reported to the Board. The remuneration of senior 
managers are reviewed annually by the Committee. At the absolute discretion of the Committee, Kogan.com 
may seek external advice on the appropriate level and structure of the remuneration packages of the senior 
management team from time to time.

The table below represents the target remuneration mix for group executives in the current year. The short‑term 
incentive is provided at target levels, and the long‑term incentive amount is provided based on the value 
granted in the current year.

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration is comprised of the base salary and team member benefits which include superannuation, 
leave entitlements and other benefits.

The salaries are normally paid monthly and are based on:

• 

• 

• 

responsibilities, abilities, experience and performance;

team member’s performance in the period since the last review; and

the Group’s pay structure.

The salaries are benchmarked against similar ASX‑listed and other online retail companies.

Some KMP’s received an adjustment to fixed remuneration in the 2020 financial year.

Short‑term incentives (STI) – Cash based

The following table outlines the significant aspects of the STI:

Purpose of STI plan

who is declared by the Board to be eligible to receive a grant of cash 
incentive under the STI.

Calculation & Target

The actual EBITDA1 of Kogan.com shall exceed the management forecast 
for the full financial year (after payment of the STI).

25% of the outperformance will be allocated to a ‘bonus pool’.

The ‘bonus pool’ will then be shared in cash bonuses among a number 
of team members in fixed proportions.

Maximum opportunity

The maximum payable is 25% of the outperformance and 35% of the team 
member’s annual salary.

Performance conditions

Outperformance of the actual EBITDA1.

Independent Non‑Executive Directors’ remuneration

Kogan.com Independent Non‑Executive Director remuneration policy is set up to attract and retain Directors 
with the experience, knowledge, expertise and acumen to manage the Company.

Each of the Independent Non‑Executive Directors has entered into appointment letters with Kogan.com, 
confirming the terms of their appointment, their roles and responsibilities and Kogan.com’s expectations  
of them as Directors.

Under the Constitution, the Board may decide the remuneration from Kogan.com to which each Director  
is entitled for their services as a Director. However, under the ASX Listing Rules, the total amount paid to all  
Non‑Executive Directors for their services must not exceed in aggregate in any financial year the amount  
fixed at Kogan.com’s general meeting.

This amount has been fixed by Kogan.com at $500,000 per annum. Any change to that aggregate annual  
sum needs to be approved by Shareholders.

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

Relationship to remuneration policy

In considering the consolidated entity’s performance and the benefits of Shareholder wealth, the Committee 
considers a range of indicators in respect of senior executive remuneration and linked these to the previously 
described short and long‑term incentives.

At Kogan.com, we remunerate our KMP in a way which:

•  aims to align executive interests with Shareholders;

• 

is sufficiently competitive in the marketplace to enable us to attract, retain, and motivate exceptional talent; and

•  encourages and rewards the behaviours and outcomes that will deliver business success and a good return 

for our Shareholders.

To achieve this, we set challenging targets and monitor performance against them closely.

We have strengthened the connection between our key reward metrics and our business strategy by adapting 
the performance conditions used for our STI.

We remain committed to the use of stretching performance metrics, and recognise the importance of having 
performance conditions that are linked to customer engagement.

Shareholder wealth

The following table presents these indicators showing the impact of the Company’s performance on 
Shareholder wealth, during the financial years:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial report of Kogan.com Ltd and its controlled entities (“the Group”; “Kogan.com”) for the year ended 
30 June 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 22 September 2020.

The Group is a for‑profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards and the 
nature of its operations and principal activities are described in the Directors’ Report on page 18.

These General Purpose Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australia Accounting Standards Board and 
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 
Accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have 
been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group’s 
consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are 
based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non‑current 
assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Kogan.com is a Company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ 
Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with that instrument, amounts in the Directors’ Report  
and the Financial Report are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, except where otherwise indicated.

a. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the Group, in line with 
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an 
entity when its exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from the involvement with the entity and has the 
ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 4.1.a.

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of  
the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is 
discontinued from the date that the control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains  
or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies  
of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the 
accounting policies adopted by the Group.

b. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group’s operations consist primarily of selling goods and services online to Australia and New Zealand 
customers. The Group has considered the requirements of AASB 8 Operating Segments and assessed that  
the Group has one operating segment, representing the consolidated results, as this is the only segment  
which meets the requirements of AASB 8.

c. USES OF JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

In preparing the financial report, management have made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect 
the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and 
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates  
are recognised prospectively.

38

kogan.com

Estimates and judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial 
statements are:

• 

• 

the provisions for warranties and sales returns which are based on estimates from historical warranty and 
sales returns data associated with similar products and services. The Group expects to incur most of the 
liability during financial year 2020/21;

the assessment of the recoverable value of non‑current assets, including intangible assets, which is based on 
management’s assessment of the nature of the capitalised costs and their expected continued contribution 
of economic benefit to the Group, having regard to actual and forecast performance and profitability; and

• 

the provision for slow moving and obsolete inventory, which is based on estimates of net realisable value.

Key estimates and judgements have not changed from those disclosed in the Group financial report for the year 
ended 30 June 2019, with the exception of the assessment of useful life for patents and trademarks.

d. COMMON CONTROL TRANSACTION

On 6 July 2016 Kogan.com Ltd acquired control of Kogan Operations Holdings Pty Ltd and subsidiaries at book 
value for consideration in preparation for the Initial Public Offering and the Group’s admission to the ASX on 
7 July 2016 pursuant to a replacement prospectus dated 24 June 2016.

e. FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s 
functional currency.

SECTION 1: BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

1.1 REVENUE

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good  
to a customer. When a performance obligation is satisfied, the Group recognises as revenue the amount the 
transaction price which excludes the associated costs and possible return of goods. Prior to these conditions 
being met, receipts from the sale of the goods are recorded in deferred income. Revenue is measured net of 
returns, trade discounts and volume rebates.

The timing of transfer of control varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement. For sale  
of goods, transfer usually occurs upon dispatch of the goods, where control is contractually transferred to 
the customer.

A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold, based on historical 
warranty data and a specific review of warranty claims outstanding.

A provision for sales returns is recognised for the expected value of returns, based on historical sales return  
data and a specific review of the profile of sales for the period and post period‑end.

rendering of services

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised when management has fulfilled its service obligations to 
the Group’s customers, recovery of the consideration is probable, and the amount of revenue can be measured 
reliably. Revenue is measured net of returns and trade discounts.

The timing of revenue recognition varies depending on the individual terms of the services agreement and the 
contractual obligations of the Group.

Revenue from the rendering of services is deferred when a customer has paid up front but the Group has not 
yet fulfilled its obligations to the customer, in line with the terms and conditions of sale.

1.3 TAX BALANCES

Income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax 
expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities 
(assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liability balances 
during the year as well as unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax 
relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period  
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which 
management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related assets or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only the extent that 
it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can 
be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (i) a legally enforceable right of set‑off exists; and (ii) the 
deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same 
taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation 
and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of 
deferred tax assets or liability are expected to be recovered or settled.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or 
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows 
included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

a. The components of tax expense comprise:

Current tax

Deferred tax

Under/(Over) provision in respect of prior years

b.  The prima facie tax on profit from ordinary activities before 

income tax is reconciled to income tax as follows:

Prima facie tax payable on profit from ordinary activities before 
income tax at 30% (2019: 30%):

2.1.2a Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the 
ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting 
period are classified as current assets.

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect of any single counterparty or group of 
counterparties other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within Note 3.2. The class 
of assets described as “trade and other receivables” is considered to be the main source of credit risk related  
to the Group.

On a geographical basis, the Group has significant credit risk exposures in Australia given the substantial 
operations in this region. The Group’s exposure to credit risk for receivables at the end of the reporting period  
in those regions is as follows:

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk with ageing analysis 
and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as “past due” when the debt has not been 
settled, within the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counterparty to the 
transactions. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors 
and are provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid

The balance of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) is considered to be  
of high credit quality.

The Group had one customer that owed more than 10% of total trade and other receivables as at 30 June 2020

SECTION 2: OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)

2.1 WORKING CAPITAL (continued)

2.1.3b lease liability

At inception of a contract, the Group assess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, 
a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange 
for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the 
Group assesses whether:

• 

the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly, and should be physically, 
or represent substantially, all the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive 
substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

•  The Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset 

throughout the period of use; and

•  The Group has the right to direct the use of asset. The Group has this right when it has the decision‑making 
rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where all 
the decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where all the decisions about 
how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of 
the asset if either:

–  The Group has the right to operate the asset; or

–  The Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

The Group has applied this approach to all contracts effective as at 1 July 2019.

As a lessee

The Group recognises a right‑of‑use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right‑of‑
use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for  
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and  
an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset, less  
any lease incentives received.

The right‑of‑use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight‑line method from the commencement 
date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right‑of‑use or the end of the lease term. The estimated 
useful lives of the right‑of‑use assets are determined on the same basis as those property, plant and equipment. 
In addition, the right‑of‑use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain 
remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the 
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily 
determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing  
rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:

•  fixed payments, including in‑substance fixed payments;

•  amounts expected to be payable under a residual guarantee; and

• 

lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension 
option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to 
terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when  
there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in  
the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee or if the Group 
changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

46

kogan.com

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount 
of the right‑of‑use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right‑of‑use asset has been 
reduced to zero.

The Group does not have any short‑term or low‑value leases.

The Group presents right‑of‑use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property, 
plant and equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘trade and other payables’ in the statement of financial position. 
As at 30 June 2020, the net carrying amount of the right‑of‑use asset is $2.4 million, please refer to note 2.3.

The lease liability as of 30 June 2020 is presented below:

The Group leases a building for its office space. The lease of office space is non‑cancellable lease with a 4‑year 
term that expired on 31 July 2018. An option existed to renew the lease for one further term of 3 years.

The Group also leases warehouse space with a minimum applicable notice period of 24 months and has no fixed 
expiration date.

Extension options

Where practicable, the Group seeks to include extension options in new leases to provide operational flexibility. 
The Group assesses at lease commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is 
a significant event or significant change in circumstances within its control.

SECTION 2: OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)

2.2 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

(i) Website development and software costs

Website development and software costs are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and 
accumulated impairment losses. Such development costs are only capitalised if they can be reliably measured, 
the process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group  
has sufficient resources to complete development.

(ii) Intellectual property

Acquired intellectual property, including customer lists, which enable direct marketing of products and services, 
are capitalised to the extent it is probably that expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will 
flow to the entity, and the cost can be reliably measured.

(iii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the 
specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill 
and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iv) Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated to write‑off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using 
the straight‑line method over their estimated useful lives and is generally recognised in the Statement of 
Comprehensive Income.

Intangibles that are considered to have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortisation.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Patents and trademarks 

2.5‑10.0 years

Website development costs

Software costs

Intellectual property

2.5 years

2.5 years

2.0 years

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

(v) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non‑financial assets (other than 
inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such 
indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash 
inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or Cash Generating 
Units (CGU).

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 
Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre‑tax 
discount rate that reflects current marketing assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific 
to the asset or CGU.

48

kogan.com

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. 
Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. They are allocated to reduce the 
carrying amount of assets in the CGU on a pro‑rata basis. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that 
the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of 
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

SECTION 2: OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)

2.3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost of fair value as indicated less, where applicable, 
any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property, plant and equipment are measured on a cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. In the event the carrying amount of property, plant and 
equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately 
to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a 
revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable 
amount is made when impairment indicators are present.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by the management to ensure it 
is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis 
of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. 
The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing 
costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, 
only when it is probably that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the 
cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets purchased in 2020 is depreciated on a straight‑line basis over 
the asset’s useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold 
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset

Depreciation Rate

Computer equipment (reducing balance & straight‑line basis)

Office equipment (reducing balance & straight‑line basis)

Leasehold improvements

Right of use asset

67%

10‑25%

20%

33‑50%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each 
reporting period.

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

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains 
and losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAl STATEMENTS CONTINUED

SECTION 3: CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND FINANCING

3.1 LOAN AND BORROWINGS

The Group’s interest‑bearing loans and borrowings have been measured at amortised cost.

The Group has a multi‑option facility agreement with Westpac Banking Corporation, for a term of three years, 
maturing on 27 November 2021. The facility limit is $30.0 million.

There were no amounts drawn down under the facility at year end (2019: nil).

3.2 CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, local money market instruments,  
short‑term investments and payable derivatives.

Financial risk management policies

The Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, while 
minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. This includes the review of the use of hedging 
derivative instruments, credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

Specific financial risk exposures and management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, and market 
risk consisting of interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. There have been no substantive changes in the 
types of risks the Group is exposed to, how these risks arise, or the Board’s objectives, policies and processes 
for managing or measuring the risks from the previous period.

Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non‑performance by counterparties 
of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

Credit risk is managed through internal procedures (such as the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting 
and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial 
stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and 
counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables 
for impairment.

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating, 
or in entities that the Board has otherwise assessed as being financially sound. Where the Group is unable to 
ascertain a satisfactory credit risk profile in relation to a customer or counterparty, the risk may be further 
managed through title retention clauses over goods or obtaining security by way of personal or commercial 
guarantees over assets of sufficient value which can be claimed against in the event of any default.

Credit risk exposures

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting  
period excluding the value of any collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying amount and 
classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the Statement of Financial Position. 
Credit risk also arises through the provision of financial guarantees, as approved at Board level, given to parties’ 
security liabilities of certain subsidiaries.

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of 
counterparties. However, the Group has significant credit risk exposures to Australia given the substantial 
operations in this region. Details with respect to credit risk of trade and other receivables are provided in  
Note 2.1.2a. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is minimised given a significant portion of sales are paid  
for at the time purchase.

Management has assessed that trade and other receivables that are not past due or are considered to be  
of good credit rating. Aggregates of such amounts are detailed in Note 2.1.2a.

52

kogan.com

Cash and cash equivalents

Credit and risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Board.

The Group held cash and cash equivalents of $146.7 million as at 30 June 2020 and $27.5 million as at the  
end of 30 June 2019. The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties, 
which are rated A to AA‑, based on the Standard & Poor’s ratings

Impairment of cash and cash equivalents has been measured on a 12‑month expected loss basis and reflects 
the short maturities of the exposures. The Group considers that its’ cash and cash equivalents have low credit 
risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties

The Group uses a similar approach for assessment of ECLs for cash and cash equivalents to those used for 
debt securities.

No impairment allowance was recognised on during FY20.

liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or 
otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the 
following mechanisms:

•  prepared forward‑looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities;

•  using derivatives that are only traded in highly liquid markets;

•  monitoring undrawn credit facilities;

•  maintaining a reputable credit profile;

•  managing credit risk related to financial assets; and

•  only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions.

The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. 
Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to  
settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAl STATEMENTS CONTINUED

SECTION 3: CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND FINANCING (continued)

3.2 CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Market risk

a. Interest rate risk

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the 
reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of  
fixed rate financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.

The financial instruments that primarily expose the Group to interest rate risk are borrowings and cash and 
cash equivalents.

The balance of borrowings was fully repaid as at 30 June 2020.

b. Foreign exchange risk

Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument 
fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial 
instruments which are other than the functional currency of the Group.

With instruments being held by overseas operations, fluctuations in the US dollar may impact on the Group’s 
financial results unless those exposures are appropriately hedged.

Foreign currency transactions

Functional and presentation currency

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

Foreign exchange forward contracts

The Group has open foreign exchange forward contracts at the end of the reporting period relating to highly 
probable forecast transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities. These contracts commit 
the Group to buy and sell specified amounts of foreign currencies in the future at specified exchange rates. 
It is the Group’s policy to manage pricing of its products (with exception of ageing and obsolete inventory) 
according to specified target Gross Margins, rather than to sacrifice Gross Margin to drive sales volumes. 
In an environment where the Australian dollar may be declining, in particular, relative to the United States dollar, 
the Group’s ability to price Third‑Party branded international products competitively in comparison with other 
Australian retailers deteriorates (to the extent that those retailers have not adjusted retail prices). As a result, 
lower volumes of Third‑Party branded international products are generally sold during periods of sharp decline 
in the Australian dollar, leading to lower revenues in that product segment. The reverse occurs in periods in 
which there is a sharp increase in the Australian dollar, while there has historically been neutral revenue impact 
in periods in which the currency is relatively stable, whether that is at high or low levels.

The following table summarises the notional amounts of the Group’s commitments in relation to foreign 
exchange forward contracts. The notional amounts do not represent amounts exchanged by the transaction 
counterparties and are therefore not a measure of the exposure of the Group through the use of the contracts.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in exchange rates. The table 
indicates the impact of how profit and equity values reported at the end of the reporting period would have 
been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible.

These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

The Group, through its hedging of foreign exchange using forward contracts, reduces its exposure to foreign 
exchange risk by locking in the exchange rate with the bank on deal date. Any movement in interest rates has 
been deemed to be immaterial.

Fair values

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non‑recurring basis, 
depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standards.

Fair value estimation

The carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities are not materially different to their fair values.

Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the entity commits itself 
to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument 
is classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or 
loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest 
method, or cost.

Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at  
initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative 
amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the 
effective interest method.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period 
and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, 
transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably 
predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset 
or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying 
amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates, or joint ventures as being subject to  
the requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) are initially recognised at 
fair value and thereafter carried at fair value.

SECTION 3: CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND FINANCING (continued)

3.2 CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Financial Instruments

Classification and subsequent measurement

a. Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets at amortised cost are non‑derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments  
that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are 
recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.

b. Financial assets/financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets/financial liabilities relating to foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value 
and fair value changes are recognised in profit or loss.

c. Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Non‑derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 
Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the financial liability is derecognised.

Derivative instruments

The Group enters into forward contracts to manage the cash flow risk attached to inventory purchased in 
foreign currency. The Group has elected not to adopt hedge accounting, with any period movements in the 
fair value of the derivative contract taken to the income statement.

Impairment

The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit loss (ECL) on:

•  financial assets measured at amortised cost; and

•  financial assets measured at FVTPL.

The Group measured loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition 
and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and 
available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, 
based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward 
looking information.

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days 
past due.

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:

• 

the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to 
actions; or

• 

the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a 
financial instrument.

12‑month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months 
after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the 
Group is exposed to credit risk.

56

kogan.com

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability‑weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all 
cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and 
the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).

ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

Credit‑impaired financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and financials 
assets at FVTPL are credit‑impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit‑impaired’ when one or more events that have 
a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit‑impaired includes the following observable data:

•  significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

•  a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;

• 

• 

• 

the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;

it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or

the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount 
of the assets.

For financials assets at FVTPL, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss.

Write‑off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations 
of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For individual customers, the Group has a 
policy of writing off the gross carrying amount when the financial asset is 180 days past due based on historical 
experience of recoveries of similar assets. For corporate customers, the Group individually makes an assessment 
with respect to the timing and amount of write‑off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of 
recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that 
are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures 
for recovery of amounts due.

The Group holds the following financial assets and financial liabilities at reporting date:

Cash and cash equivalents

Financial assets at amortised cost

–  trade and other receivables

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Fair value measurements

The Group measures and recognises the following assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis after 
initial recognition:

•  cash and cash equivalents; and

• 

foreign exchange forward contracts.

The Group does not subsequently measure any liabilities at fair value on a non‑recurring basis.

a. Fair value hierarchy

AASB 9 Financial Instruments requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, 
which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an 
input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:

Level 1

Level 2

Measurements based on quoted prices 
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical 
assets or liabilities that the entity can 
access at the measurement date.

Measurements based on inputs other 
than quoted prices included in Level 1 
that are observable for the asset or 
liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3

Measurements based 
on unobservable inputs 
for the asset or liability.

Cash and cash equivalents are Level 1 measurements, whilst foreign exchange contracts are Level 2. The fair 
values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more 
valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market 
data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in 
Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is 
included in Level 3.

The fair value of foreign exchange contracts at 30 June 2020 totalled $1,059,971 (liability) (2019: $382,691 
(asset)). This represented the amount ‘out of the money’ on outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts 
as at 30 June 2020.

b. Disclosed fair value measurements

The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are the same as their carrying values.

The Group enters into forward exchange contracts to manage the foreign exchange risk attached to inventory 
purchased in foreign currency. The Group has elected not to adopt hedge accounting, with any period 
movements in the fair value of the derivative contract taken to the income statement.

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined based on an external valuation report using forward 
exchange rates at the balance sheet date.

c. Merger reserve

The acquisition of Kogan Operations Holdings Pty Ltd by Kogan.com Ltd has been treated as a common  
control transaction at book value for accounting purposes, and no fair value adjustments have been made. 
Consequently, the difference between the fair value of issued capital and the book value of net assets acquired 
is recorded within a merger reserve of $131,816,250.

d. Performance rights reserve

The reserve is used to recognise the value of equity benefits provided to employees as part of their 
remuneration. The Group measures the cost of equity‑settled transactions with employees by reference to  
the fair value of the Ordinary Shares at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using  
a discounted cash flow valuation model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the equity 
instruments were granted, as discussed in Note 5.2.

e. Capital management

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a sustainable debt to equity ratio, generate 
long‑term Shareholder value and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The Group’s debt and capital include ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting 
its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the 
management of debt levels, distributions to Shareholders and share issues.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since 
the prior year.

5.2 INCENTIVE PLANS

Kogan.com Ltd has adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) to assist in the motivation and retention of 
management and selected team members.

The Group has established incentive arrangements subsequent to listing on the ASX to assist in the attraction, 
motivation and retention of the executive team and other selected team members. To align the interests of its 
employees and the goals of the Group, the Directors have decided the remuneration packages of the executive

recognition and measurement

a. Equity‑settled transactions

The charge related to equity‑settled transactions with team members is measured by reference to the fair value 
of the equity instruments at the date they are granted, using an appropriate valuation model selected according 
to the terms and conditions of the grant. The fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow valuation 
model. Judgement is applied in determining the most appropriate valuation model and in determining the 
inputs to the model. Third‑party experts are engaged to advise in this area where necessary. Judgements are 
also applied in relation to estimations of the number of rights which are expected to vest, by reference to 
historic leaver rates and expected outcomes under relevant performance conditions.

The Group issues equity‑settled share‑based payments to certain team members, whereby team members 
render services in exchange for Shares or Rights over Shares of the Parent Company.

Equity‑settled awards are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The cost of these transactions is 
recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement and Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and 
credited to equity on a straight‑line basis over the vesting period after allowing for an estimate of shares that 
will eventually vest. The level of vesting is reviewed annually and the charge adjusted to reflect actual and 
estimated levels of vesting.

Where an equity‑settled share‑based payment scheme is modified during the vesting period, an additional 
charge is recognised over the remainder of that vesting period to the extent that the fair value of the revised 
scheme at the modification date exceeds the fair value of the original scheme at the modification date. Where 
the fair value of the revised scheme does not exceed the fair value of the original scheme, the Group continues 
to recognise the charge required under the conditions of the original scheme. Individuals must be employed by 
the Group at the time of vesting, and not in their notice period, to be entitled to the equity incentives.

kogan.com

b. Cash‑settled transactions

The amount payable to team members in respect of cash‑settled share‑based payments is recognised as 
an expense, with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period which the team members become 
unconditionally entitled to the payment. The liability is measured at each reporting date and at settlement 
date based on the fair value, with any changes in the liability being recognised in profit or loss.

c. Expense recognised in profit or loss

During the period the Group recognised a share‑based payment expense of $1.0 million (2019: $1.2 million) 
which relates to Performance Rights granted during the year or in previous years.

The Group has recognised an expense in relation to cash based short‑term incentives in 2020 of $0.9 million 
(2019: nil).

Key Audit Matters 

The  Key  Audit  Matters  we  identified 
are: 

•  Recognition of revenue; and 

•  Valuation of inventory. 

Recognition of revenue (AUD $497.9m) 

Refer to Note 1.1 to the Financial Report 

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional 
judgement,  were  of  most  significance  in  our  audit  of  the 
Financial Report of the current period. 

These  matters  were  addressed  in  the  context  of  our  audit  of 
the  Financial  Report  as  a  whole,  and  in  forming  our  opinion 
thereon,  and  we  do  not  provide  a  separate  opinion  on  these 
matters. 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

is  a  key  audit 
Revenue  recognition 
matter due  to the  significant audit effort 
to test the: 

•  high  volume  of  sale  of  goods 
transactions  recorded  as  revenue 
and  the  significant  value  of  revenue 
recognised; 

•  Group’s 

related 

judgement 

to 
determining  the  timing  of  revenue 
recognition driven by the  conditions, 
associated with each of the types of 
services  offered  by  the  Group,  such 
as  Kogan  Marketplace,  Kogan 
Mobile and Kogan First; and 

• 

judgement  to  assess  the  Group’s 
recognition  basis  as  a  principal  on  a 
gross  basis  or  an  agent  on  a  net  of 
costs  paid  basis  using  the  relevant 
terms  of  the  underlying  contract 
against  the  requirements  of  the 
accounting standard. 

Our procedures included: 

•  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  the  Group’s  revenue 
recognition  policies  against  the  requirements  of  the 
accounting standard; 

• 

testing  key  controls  related  to  the  sale  of  goods  and 
rendering of services, including approval of revenue rates 
and matching of invoices to delivery documents; 

• 

for  a  sample  of  sale  of  goods  and  services  income,  we 
verified  the  transactions  to  the  respective  invoices  and 
cash received from the customer in the bank statement; 
•  developing an expectation of the current year revenue by 
using  cash  receipts  from  customers  and  comparing  with 
the Group’s recorded revenue; 

• 

for  a  sample  of  sale  of  goods  that  were  sold  and  service 
income  that  was  earned  before  and  after  year  end,  we 
performed  procedures  to  ascertain  that  revenue  was 
recorded in the correct financial year;

INDEPENDENT AuDITOr’S rEPOrT CONTINUED

Valuation of inventory (AUD $112.9m) 

Refer to Note 2.1.1 to the Financial Report  

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Our procedures included: 

•  analysing  the  level  of  inventory  by  ageing  categories  for 
each  product  type, 
in  ageing 
categories  compared  to  prior  periods,  in  order  to  highlight 
products or categories at higher risk of impairment; 

including  movements 

•  obtaining  an  understanding  of  how  the  inventory  system 
computes ageing, and assessed the accuracy of inventory 
ageing  by  comparing  the  inventory  receipt  date  for  a 
sample of purchases to underlying documentation such as 
supplier invoices; 

•  comparing  product  unit  cost  to  most  recent  sales  price 
information  for  a  sample  of  products  in  order  to  identify 
inventory that may not be able to be sold above cost; and 

•  assessing  the  Group’s  inventory  provision,  based  on  the 
ageing of product category and other relevant factors such 
as those identified above, for consistency with the Group’s 
established accounting policy and accounting standards. 

The  Group  sells  high  volumes  of  private 
label and third-party branded products. In 
valuing  inventory  at  the  lower  of  cost 
and  net  realisable  value,  there  are 
factors 
judgement  or 
to 
estimation including: 

subject 

•  consideration 

at 

items 

of  market 

and 
consumer  factors  that  could  impact 
the  Group’s  ability  to  sell  certain 
inventory 
profitable 
margins,  such  as  seasonality  of 
demand, 
consumer 
changing 
preferences,  and  obsolescence  due 
to  technological  or  product  change 
(particularly  relevant  to  electronic 
products); and 

•  establishing  a  provision  for  slow 
moving  inventory  based  on  relevant 
factors such as inventory ageing and 
inventory turnover. 

We  identified  the  valuation  of  inventory 
as  a  key  audit  matter  due  to  the 
significant  audit  effort  arising  from  the 
subjective nature and level of judgement 
involved  in  determining  the  level  of 
provisioning. 

Other Information 

Other  Information  is  financial  and  non-financial  information  in  Kogan.com  Ltd’s  annual  reporting  which  is 
provided  in  addition  to  the  Financial  Report  and  the  Auditor’s  Report.  The  Director  is  responsible  for  the 
Other Information.  

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not and 
will not express an audit opinion or 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. In 
doing so, we 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.

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, 
and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of 
this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. 

Responsibilities of the Director for the Financial Report 

The Director is responsible for: 

•  preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting 

Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; 

•   implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true 

and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and 

•   assessing the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the 
going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related 
to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate 
the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is:  

•   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 Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error.  They  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 the Financial Report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board website at:  

http://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf.  This  description  forms  part  of  our 
Auditor’s Report.
