As always we welcome the opportunity to engage 
with our stakeholders, actioning feedback where 
immediately possible, as we continue to evolve our 
framework. This was no different post the 2020 
Annual General Meeting in which our Company 
received a vote of 43.81% of eligible votes against  
the 2020 Remuneration Report, receiving a First 
Strike. Further information regarding our response  
to stakeholders can be found in the Remuneration 
Report within this Annual Report.

STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES

Our Company was built on our mission to make  
the most in‑demand products and services more 
affordable and accessible for all. There are always 
ways to operate more efficiently and improve 
offerings that our loyal customers will benefit from.

We see enormous opportunity in the Kogan First 
loyalty program, the continued growth of the 
Exclusive Brands product division and Kogan 
Marketplace. Ruslan will discuss these opportunities 
amongst others on page 4.

In the first half of FY21, we made our largest 
acquisition which has accelerated our expansion into 
New Zealand. Mighty Ape’s trading for the seven 
months to 30 June 2021 has shown strong sales over 
the Christmas peak trading period and end of financial 
year sales. We are excited to see what we can achieve 
together once the Mighty Ape team and operations 
have been fully integrated into the Kogan Group 
which is anticipated over the next financial year.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Kogan.com Shareholders,

Our actions stem from our core values –  
to always put the customer first. We do this by 
making data‑driven decisions and pioneering 
technology‑based solutions to benefit our loyal 
community. This ensures that we are able to deliver 
on our long‑term strategies, which in turn continues 
to benefit customers and Shareholders alike.  
Our ability to be agile and promptly respond  
to the changing conditions throughout the year  
is a testament to the strength and capabilities  
of our team.

In FY21 Kogan Marketplace continued its rapid 
growth, nearly doubling its Gross Sales1 compared  
to the prior year. There continues to be a strong 
pipeline of sellers ready to be onboarded in addition 
to the increased number of sellers already using the 
platform throughout FY21, enabling more choice for 
our customers.

Our Exclusive Brands portfolio continued to achieve 
year‑on‑year Revenue growth, up 62.5% and Gross 
Profit growth of 63.4% on FY20, respectively, 
resulting in a contribution of 51.6% to the Group’s 
overall Gross Profit in FY21.

We place great emphasis on customer experience 
and are currently progressing exciting projects to 
enhance our Kogan First offering, further 
incentivising and rewarding our loyal customers.

In FY21 we continued to strengthen Kogan.com’s 
governance framework. Kogan.com now operates 
with a majority independent Board as we welcomed 
two new Independent Non‑Executive Directors, 
Janine Allis and James Spenceley, during the year. 
The Board is supported by a majority independent 
Audit and Risk Committee and Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee.

OUR TEAM

The safety, health and wellbeing of the Kogan.com 
team are at your Company’s top priorities. Our 
business takes all measures necessary to ensure that 
our team is safe, including the mental health of our 
team members. Our business was one of the first 
companies in Australia to switch to a ‘work from 
home’ model, now almost two years ago, at the 
beginning of the COVID‑19 pandemic. The team 
continues to work from home during the current 
imposed lockdowns, supported by a flexible work 
model for when we are able to return to the office 
and various health and wellbeing initiatives.

I am extremely proud of the Kogan.com team who, 
through all of the uncertainty this pandemic continues 
to bring, remained focused and found ways to support 
our customers when they needed our help most.

On behalf of the Board, thank you for your continued 
commitment to the Kogan.com mission, values  
and community.

CASH BEING UTILISED TO SUPPORT GROWTH 
PLANS

Kogan.com has a strong balance sheet, and attractive 
short‑term and long‑term growth opportunities. To 
support your Company with its growth plans, the 
Board has decided to conserve cash for business 
investment and growth purposes and has paused 
dividends – having not declared a FY21 final Dividend.

LOOKING AHEAD

The Board is excited by the potential our Company 
has to further build and grow our trusted brand. Our 
loyal customers and Shareholders continue to be the 
beneficiaries of our ongoing commitment to bring our 
long‑term strategy to life into FY22 and beyond.

FOUNDER & CEO’S REPORT

Dear Kogan.com Shareholders,

It’s in these challenging times, that you are seeing 
the true importance of how your Company is helping 
Australians and New Zealanders when they need it 
most. By offering the most in‑demand products and 
services at more affordable prices, we are ensuring 
that all our customers have access to what they need 
around the clock, delivered directly to their door.

Over the past 12 months, Kogan.com turned 15 years 
young, surpassed $1 billion in Gross Sales1 for the first 
time ever, surged past three million Active Customers, 
had record‑breaking Black Friday sales and made our 
largest acquisition to accelerate our expansion into 
New Zealand. And those are just the highlights.

We work extra hard to delight Kogan First subscribers 
and we continue to improve the offering to enable us 
to achieve our medium term goal of reaching 1 million 
Kogan First subscribers.

Over the past 18 months we have witnessed a massive 
swing towards the eCommerce retail revolution, one 
Kogan.com has been ready and predicting, for well 
over a decade. We look forward to continuing our 
quest to delight our customers by making the most 
in demand products and services more affordable 
and accessible.

BUILDING THE KOGAN.COM PORTFOLIO

These are nice numbers. What’s more important 
though, is what it means we were able to do for our 
millions of customers. The world has changed, and 
the convenience of shopping anywhere, at any time, 
on any device is no longer just a luxury.

We’re continually evolving the Company to respond 
to the needs of our customers and to strengthen our 
competitive advantage. Our growing portfolio of 
businesses provides diversification of income, making 
us a more resilient business.

While we recently celebrated our 15th birthday, we 
feel like we’re just getting started. Over the next year 
we’ll be rolling out new and exciting projects to 
further reward our loyal Kogan Community with 
Kogan First membership benefits, new and improved 
delivery solutions, and further enhancements to the 
online shopping experience.

We’re attracting more and more customers to our 
platform. Active Customers grew by 46.9% in the  
last 12 months. This comprised Kogan.com Active 
Customers, that grew to 3.2 million and Mighty Ape 
Active Customers that grew to 764,000. As a 
reminder, we count someone as an Active Customer 
if they have made a purchase in the last 12 months.

Our Kogan First subscription program was launched 
in the last quarter of FY19. At 30 June, we had grown 
our Kogan First subscribers to more than 120,000 
subscribers, who have received an average of $105  
of member benefits this financial year. It’s an 
incredibly good deal. Kogan First Members2 have 
stronger loyalty and repeat purchase behaviour than 
non‑members, because they get such a great deal. 

As more smart shoppers engage with our platform 
for the first time, our marketing investment is also 
expected to have ongoing long‑term benefits to  
our Business, through repeat purchasing from these 
incremental Active Customers and growth in Kogan 
First subscribers.

Kogan Marketplace has gone from strength to 
strength, increasing Gross Sales1 by 91% in FY21 
compared to FY20. The platform continues to 
resonate with sellers, with Kogan Marketplace 
increasing the number of sellers significantly, while

there continues to be a strong pipeline of new sellers 
about to be onboarded. This is wonderful for 
competition — enabling many small, medium and 
large businesses to grow through the pandemic by 
appealing directly to the millions of Kogan.com 
customers. Of course, it’s also a real win for customers, 
as our selection grows rapidly, enabling more choice.

We are continually improving our proprietary 
marketplace platform which will enable the Business 
to achieve ongoing growth without a corresponding 
investment in inventory. The growth of Kogan 
Marketplace means that customers have more choice 
than ever, and our team worked hard to launch the 
Kogan Marketplace in New Zealand prior to the 
financial year end.

FY21 also saw the Company’s largest acquisition, 
being the purchase of Mighty Ape. The Mighty Ape 
team and operations are progressively integrating 
into the Kogan Group. Trading for the seven months 
to 30 June 2021 has shown strong sales over the 
Christmas peak trading period and end of financial 
year sales, with Revenue and Gross Profit of 
$80.2 million1 and $19.9 million1, respectively. Active 
Customers grew to 764,000 as at 30 June 2021.

PRODUCT OFFERING AND EXPANSION

This year, we navigated through the challenges that 
come with rapid growth. We are a data‑driven 
business and our decision to significantly invest in 
inventory and operational capacity was made based 
on forecasts using the best available data points at 
the time.

As I’m writing this, global supply chains have once 
again been thrown into chaos. There are fresh reports 
of other retailers struggling with not being able to 
secure stock in the leadup to the busy and important 
Christmas period. Due to the planning and monitoring 
of market conditions by our team, we are in a strong 
position to service our customers heading into the 
festive season. Santa can turn to Kogan.com for 
millions of in‑stock items.

The Group held $191.8 million dollars of inventory in 
warehouse at the end of the period, of which more 
than 99% of Kogan.com inventory and 94% of Mighty 
ape inventory in warehouse was aged less than 365 
days. Total inventory was $227.9 million, an increase 
of $115.0 million held at the same time last year.

Our ongoing investment in Exclusive Brands 
inventory to broaden our range and meet customer 
demand has enabled our business to achieve 
continued year‑on‑year growth. In FY21 Revenue 
grew 62.5% on FY20 and a CAGR2 of 43.3% since 
FY19. Exclusive Brands also achieved Gross Profit 
growth of 63.4% on FY20 and a CAGR2 of 52.7% 
since FY19, contributing 51.6% to the Group’s overall 
Gross Profit in FY21.

FOUNDER & CEO’S REPORT CONTINUED

The online retail market continues to grow rapidly in 
Australia and Kogan.com has consistently taken market 
share. Online retail is in its infancy in Australia, NAB 
estimates that online retail is a mere 13.3% of total retail 
sales1 – far lower than comparable economies. But, online 
retail is growing quickly, and Kogan.com is taking market 
share in that growing market. There remains a long 
runway ahead, and we are excited about the future.

FY22 & BEYOND

As we shift our focus to the next financial year  
we expect to see strong growth in Kogan First 
memberships, ongoing growth in Exclusive Brands, 
further enhancement and development of Kogan 
Marketplace, and the benefits from further Mighty 
Ape synergies flowing through.

To improve the Company’s capabilities, we also 
anticipate potentially implementing logistics projects 
that would not require significant capital expenditure 
and can be supported by the Company’s balance 
sheet, and improved operating leverage, consistent 
with the Company’s long term track record.

Kogan.com is a dynamic portfolio of businesses 
driven by our core values to delight and win 
customers for life — as our business scales we are 
able to operate more efficiently, providing bigger  
and better offers to our loyal customers well into 
FY22 and beyond.

We’ve been working hard for more than 15 years to 
become an overnight success. We are motivated and 
inspired by the important role we play in the retail 
landscape and the wider economy, and we’re excited 
about this new stage of growth and scale that we’ve 
entered. Your Company is stronger than it’s ever been.

OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW CONTINUED

Industry leading IT platform & data driven culture:

The Kogan platform is renowned for price leadership through digital efficiency. We believe ‘There is always 
a better way’ and our vision is to harness the power of technology and personalisation to change the way our 
customers shop online.

We understand our customers, what inspires them and what interests them. We leverage this understanding,

BUILDING THE KOGAN PLATFORM

In the twelve months to 30 June 2021, the Company achieved 46.9% growth in Active Customers 1. The 
Company had 3,207,000 Active Customers 1 (excluding Mighty Ape) as at 30 June 2021 (compared with 
2,183,000 as at 30 June 2020). Mighty Ape Active Customers 1 grew to 764,000 at 30 June 2021.

Given our record marketing investment during the year, the proportion of traffic from free sources reduced 
on last year. However, more importantly, free traffic sources still represent the vast majority of visits to our 
websites, which demonstrates that satisfied customers continue to return to Kogan.com. Spend per new 
active customer was consistent with last year while significantly growing Active Customers 1.

The Company places great emphasis on customer experience and we are currently progressing exciting 
projects to enhance our Kogan First offering further incentivising and rewarding our loyal customers in the 
near future. The Kogan First loyalty program grew to over 120,000 members as at 30 June 2021, with Kogan 
First Members2 demonstrating stronger loyalty and repeat purchase behaviour than non‑members. Kogan 
First Members2 on average have received $105 of member benefits in FY21. Kogan First subscription revenues 
grew to $8.9 million in FY21, while member benefits totalled $12.7 million in FY21.

Exclusive Brands continued to achieve year‑on‑year Revenue growth, up 62.5% on FY20 and achieving 
a CAGR 5 of 43.3% since FY19. Exclusive Brands also achieved Gross Profit growth of 63.4% on FY20 and 
a CAGR 5 of 52.7% since FY19, resulting in a contribution of 51.6% to the Group’s overall Gross Profit in FY21.  
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 achieved growth in Revenue and Gross Profit, delivering an increase of 18.9% and 10.1% 
respectively on FY20, and a CAGR 5 of 7.9% and 7.7%, respectively since FY19.

Non‑IFRS measure.
The differential between Revenue and Gross Sales is reflective of Kogan Marketplace and New Verticals recognising only 
commission‑based Revenue while the gross transaction values are recognised within Gross Sales.

3  Given the various adjustments (including provision for the likely payment of Mighty Ape Tranche purchase price instalments 

and equity‑based compensation) the Company believes the data is not directly comparable to prior periods.

kogan.com

The success of Kogan Marketplace has resulted in Gross Sales 1 increasing by 91.0% in FY21 compared to FY20. 
The platform continues to resonate with sellers, with Kogan Marketplace having increased the number 
of sellers significantly, while there continues to be a strong pipeline of new sellers ready to be onboarded.

The exceptional growth of Kogan Marketplace has led to a period of transition for the business. We are 
continually improving our proprietary marketplace platform which enables the Company to achieve ongoing 
growth without a corresponding investment in inventory. The growth of Kogan Marketplace means that 
customers have more choice than ever, and it was launched in New Zealand prior to the financial year end.

The Company places great emphasis on customer experience and we are currently progressing exciting 
projects to enhance our Kogan First offering further incentivising and rewarding our loyal customers in the 
near future.

The newly acquired Mighty Ape team and operations are progressively being integrated into the Kogan 
Group. For the seven months to 30 June 2021, Mighty Ape’s trading showed strong sales over the Christmas 
peak trading and end of financial year sales periods, with Revenue and Gross Profit of $80.2 million 2 and 
$19.9 million 2, respectively. Active Customers grew to 764,000 as at 30 June 2021. For a full 12‑month period 
to 31 March 2021, Mighty Ape forecasted $14.3 million 3 EBITDA as disclosed in the ASX announcement 
on 3 December 2020 – this forecast was achieved.

Variable Costs predominantly consist of warehousing and selling costs. The increase in selling costs was 
largely driven by growing volumes of transactions, while the increase in warehousing costs was driven by the 
significant inventory holding referred to earlier. Variable costs also include the one‑off logistics detention 
charges of $7.7 million, driven by warehousing and supply chain interruptions from late 2020 to April 2021 
(almost never previously incurred, and resolved prior to financial year end).

In order to reward and incentivise key talent and align their interests with our Shareholders, the Business has 
made strategic investments in team members. Long‑Term Incentives remain in place and People Costs have 
increased year‑on‑year, as a result. FY21 included equity‑based compensation expenses driven by the recent 
awards of options after the Company’s AGM in November 2020, which are being expensed as per the 
accounting treatment described in the Notice of Meeting of the 2020 AGM.

NPAT and EPS of $3.5 million and $0.03 per Share were materially impacted by the various items detailed on 
page 21 of this Annual Report.

Adjusted EBITDA4, Adjusted NPAT 4 and Adjusted EPS 4 excluding unrealised FX gains, equity‑based 
compensation and other adjusting items grew to $61.8 million, $42.9 million and $0.41 per Share, 
respectively. Refer to page 21 of this Annual Report for a detailed reconciliation of adjusting items.

OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW CONTINUED

The acquisition of Mighty Ape resulted in the recognition of goodwill, as well as significant right‑of‑use assets, 
lease liabilities and intangibles which has been reflected in the Group’s Net Assets.

Financial assets and financial liabilities reflect the unrealised FX gain/(loss) recognised against forward 
contracts, which is non‑cash.

Trade and other payables reached a seasonal high following the end of financial year peak sales period.

The Group significantly expanded it’s inventory levels to respond to forecasted demand leading out of the 
first half of FY21. The Company invested in inventory and operational capacity to be able to fulfil that expected 
growth, which drove the operating cash outflow during the period.

This resulted in an excess stock position which led the Business to focus on strong promotions to bring 
inventory to the right level. This promotional activity combined with high warehousing costs and incurred 
detention, impacted cash flows from operating activities in the second half.

The Group finished the period with a cash balance of $91.7 million.

OUTLOOK

At Kogan.com we are relentless in our mission to bring more in‑demand products and services to customers 
at market‑leading prices. With that in mind, the pace continues into the new financial year.

In FY22, we expect:

•  Growth of Kogan First memberships heading toward the medium‑term goal of 1 million members

•  Growth in Exclusive Brands

•  Growth in Kogan Marketplace

• 

Integration of Mighty Ape team and operations

•  To improve the Company’s capabilities, the Company also anticipates potentially implementing logistics 
projects that would not require significant capital expenditure and can be supported by the Company’s 
balance sheet

• 

Improved operating leverage, consistent with the Company’s long‑term track record

STRATEGY, RISK AND OPPORTUNITIES

STRATEGY

Online retail is in its infancy in Australia. The Kogan Group’s market share of 2.7% has continually grown in a 
market that continues to rapidly increase in size, the Australian Online Retail Market1 grew 35.3% in FY21 
compared to FY20. NAB estimates that in the 12 months to June 2021, Australians spent $48.6 billion on online 
retail, a level that is around 13.3% of the total retail trade estimate2.

OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW CONTINUED

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

Inventory 
management

Key supplier, service 
provider and 
counterparty factors

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

Manufacturing and 
product quality

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.

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

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.

kogan.com

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.

OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW CONTINUED

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted NPAT and Adjusted EPS: are measures of the underlying performance of the 
Business, they remove non‑cash items including the unrealised FX gain/ (loss), equity‑based compensation 
and one‑off non‑recurring items. In respect of FY21 the below items have been adjusted:

•  Unrealised FX gain/(loss): unrealised FX gain at financial year end.

•  Equity‑based compensation: significant equity‑based compensation expenses driven largely by the recent 

awards of options after the Company’s AGM in November 2020.

•  Donations: material donations of PPE by the Company to Australian charities.

•  COVID‑19 related stock provision: write‑down of PPE held by Kogan.com following the reduction in 

COVID‑19 cases in Australia.

•  COVID‑19 related logistics costs: relates to material logistics demurrage charges driven by one‑off 

warehousing and supply chain interruptions from late 2020 to April 2021. These charges have almost never 
previously incurred, and have been resolved prior to the financial year end.

•  Mighty Ape purchase – Tranches 3 & 4: refers to the provision for the likely payment of Mighty Ape 

Tranche 3 & 4 purchase price instalments as part of the Sale Agreement, which are contingent on the 
Mighty Ape Founder & CEO remaining with the Business until the delivery of the financial year 2023 results. 
In line with accounting standards, Tranches 3 & 4 payments will be considered as compensation for post‑
combination services, and as such, treated as employee remuneration for accounting purposes. The Group 
will proportionately account for these expenses up until the respective payment dates.

–  For Australian income tax purposes, amounts paid for the acquisition of Mighty Ape shares are 

considered as capital in nature and are therefore non‑deductible, rather increasing the tax cost base of 
the shares. No deferred tax asset is recognised due to Kogan.com being able to control the timing of 
the reversal of the temporary difference and it being probable that the temporary difference will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future.

NPAT and EPS: were materially impacted by the items below

•  Company’s excess inventory position in the second half of the financial year, significantly increasing storage 
costs and subsequently marketing costs through promotional activity to rebalance inventory levels relevant 
to the size of the Business.

•  Logistics detention charges of $7.7 million incurred as a result of COVID related warehousing and supply 
chain interruptions from late 2020 to April 2021 (almost never previously incurred, and resolved prior to 
financial year end).

•  People Costs of $12.0 million to provision for the likely payment of Mighty Ape Tranche 3 & 4 purchase 
price instalments as well as $0.8 million relating to acquisition costs. For income tax purposes, this is 
considered capital in nature, and therefore no tax deduction is available.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUED

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Kogan.com has entered into a deed of indemnity, insurance and access with each Director confirming the 
Director’s right of access to Board papers and requires Kogan.com to indemnify the Director, on a full indemnity 
basis and to the full extent permitted by law against all losses or liabilities (including all reasonable legal costs) 
insured by the Director as an officer of Kogan.com or of a related body corporate.

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 
related to body corporate (or the date any relevant proceedings commenced during the seven year period 
have been finally resolved).

Disclosure of the total amount of the premiums paid under this renewed insurance policy is not permitted 
under 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

No person has applied for leave of court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any 
proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company 
for all or any part of those proceedings.

The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

DIVIDENDS

In respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2021, the Directors declared a fully franked interim Dividend 
of 16.0 cents per Ordinary Share. The record date for the dividend was 9 March 2021 and the Dividend was 
paid on 31 May 2021.

To support the Company with its growth plans, the Board has decided to conserve cash for business 
investment and has paused dividends – having not declared a FY21 final Dividend.

Details with respect to the distribution paid during the year are provided in Note 3.3.2.

A Dividend Reinvestment Plan was available for the 2021 interim Dividend.

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.

REMUNERATION REPORT

INTRODUCTION

The Directors are pleased to present the FY21 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.

At the 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 20 November 2020, the Company received a vote 
of 43.81% of eligible votes against the 2020 Remuneration Report, receiving a First Strike. We have since 
consulted with proxy advisors, investors and other stakeholders and have actioned their feedback where 
immediately possible as we continue to evolve our remuneration framework.

In February 2021, the Company announced the appointment of two new Independent Non‑Executive 
Directors, Janine Allis and James Spenceley with both Directors also serving as members of the Board’s 
Remuneration & Nomination and Audit & Risk Committees. With the addition of Ms Allis and Mr Spenceley  
the Company has achieved a majority independent Board of Directors, Remuneration & Nomination and  
Audit & Risk Committees.

The Company recently adopted an Equal Opportunity, Merit and Diversity Policy, a copy of which is available 
on Kogan’s Corporate Website. The Company recognises that a diverse workplace is likely to be the natural 
long‑term consequence of merit‑based decision‑making in hiring, firing and promotions, and that a diverse 
workforce achieved through merit‑based decision‑making is integral to building and sustaining a culture that 
fosters equal opportunity.

The quantum and conditions of Retention Options awarded to the Founder and CEO of Kogan.com Mr Kogan, 
and the Company’s CFO/COO Mr Shafer were approved by Shareholders at the 2020 AGM. The details of this 
awarded Long‑Term Incentive (LTI) are provided below and are accounted for in the same way the Company’s 
other equity‑settled awards are treated (refer section 5.2 of the FY21 Annual Report), with their fair value 
determined at their date of grant in line with AASB 2 Share-based payments. The cost of these transactions 
is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement and Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive 
Income 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. Accordingly, any deductions allowable for tax purposes will also be in line with 
current equity‑settled awards.

We continue to engage with Shareholders and look forward to receiving further feedback on our 2021 
Remuneration Report.

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 and Other KMP service agreements;

REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED

A full Charter outlining the Committee’s responsibilities and the Process for Evaluation of Performance are 
available at www.kogancorporate.com.

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.

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

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 2021 financial year.

REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED

Long‑Term Incentives (LTI) – Equity Incentive Plan (EIP)

The Group has established an Equity Incentive Plan (EIP), which is designed to align the interests of eligible

Executive Retention Options awarded at the 2020 AGM issued under the Group’s EIP

The number and class 
of securities issued 
to the Directors

Details of the 
Retention Options

3,600,000 options granted to Mr Kogan and 2,400,000 granted 
to Mr Shafer under the EIP.

The Board (excluding Mr Kogan and Mr Shafer) decided to grant the 
Retention Options to Mr Kogan and Mr Shafer because the Board believed 
it was in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders to incentivise 
Mr Kogan and Mr Shafer to remain in their positions for the next 3 years 
given their proven track records, in order to maximise the prospect of 
Mr Kogan and Mr Shafer contributing to the creation of significant future 
returns for Shareholders.

The Retention Options are being accounted for in the same way the 
Company’s current equity‑settled awards are treated (refer section 5.2 of the 
FY21 Annual Report), with their accounting value determined at their date 
of grant (within 10 Business Days of the Meeting). Equity‑settled awards are 
measured at fair value at the date of grant. The cost of these transactions 
is recognised in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement and 
Consolidated Statement of Other 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. Accordingly, any deductions allowable for tax purposes will 
also be in line with current equity‑settled awards.

The Company obtained an independent valuation of the Retention Options 
from SLM Corporate dated 7 May 2020 to provide advice in relation 
to whether the proposed grant of the Retention Options were reasonable 
in the circumstances and by reference to industry standards. The valuation 
applied a number of assumptions and variables, including the following:

• 

the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX on 30 April 2020 
(a reference date under the report), being $7.99 per Share;

•  a risk‑free rate of 0.33%;

•  a volatility factor of 62.5%;

•  dividend yield of 1.96%; and

•  a time to maturity of the underlying Options of 4 years.

The estimated value of each Retention Option pursuant to the valuation was 
$4.13 as at the reference date of the report of 7 May 2020. On this basis, the 
estimated value as at the reference date of the report of 7 May 2020 of:

• 

• 

the Retention Options to be granted to Mr Kogan under Item 5.1 
was $14,872,133; and

the Retention Options to be granted to Mr Shafer under Item 5.2 
was $9,914,756.

REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED

Details of the Retention 
Options (continued)

The report from SLM Corporate dated 7 May 2020 reflects the value of the 
Retention Options on or about the date that the Company agreed to grant 
the Retention Options to Mr Kogan and Mr Shafer. For completeness, given 
the time that has elapsed between the AGM (at which the Retention Options 
were approved by Shareholders) and both the date of the independent 
valuation of the Retention Options from SLM Corporate and the date that 
the Company agreed to grant the Retention Options, the Company obtained 
an updated independent valuation of the Retention Options from SLM 
Corporate dated 8 December 2020. This valuation applied the same 
assumptions and variables as noted above, except that:

• 

the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX on 30 November 2020 
(date of issue of the Retention Options as per the updated independent 
valuation), being $16.40 per Share;

•  a risk‑free rate of 0.25%;

•  a volatility factor of 62.5%; and

•  dividend yield of 1.28%.

The value of each Retention Option pursuant to the valuation was $11.48 
as at the issue date of the updated independent valuation of 8 December 
2020. On this basis, the value as at the issue date of the updated 
independent valuation of 8 December 2020 of:

• 

• 

the Retention Options granted to Mr Kogan was $41,325,935; and

the Retention Options granted to Mr Shafer was $27,550,623.

The increase in the value of the Retention Options reflects the increase 
in the Company’s share price since the Company announced the terms 
of the Retention Options to the ASX on 12 May 2020 and the grant of the 
Retention Options following the Company’s AGM on 20 November 2020.

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.

The annual Independent Non‑Executive Directors’ fees paid or payable to Greg Ridder (as Chairman), 
Harry Debney, Janine Allis and James Spenceley for FY21 are $185,000, $110,000, $95,000 and 
$95,000 respectively.

No additional fees are presently proposed to be paid for membership or Chairmanship of the Audit and Risk 
Management Committee or the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. In subsequent years, additional 
fees for membership or Chairmanship of these committees may apply.

incentive programs.

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‑term 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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial report of Kogan.com Ltd and its controlled entities (“the Group”; “Kogan.com”) for the year 
ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors 
on 29 September 2021.

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 Director’s Report on page 23.

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 2020.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

b. 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. 

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 2021/22

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

• 

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

•  The valuation of net assets acquired via the Mighty Ape purchase, and subsequent determination of Goodwill.

Key estimates and judgements have not changed from those disclosed in the Group financial report for the year 
ended 30 June 2020, other than estimate/judgement applied around the acquisition of Mighty Ape Limited.

c. 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.

d. Functional and Presentation Currency

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

e. New accounting standards and interpretations 

In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the following new and revised Standards and Interpretations 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and 
effective for the current annual reporting period. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the 
disclosures or on amounts reported in these financial statements.

(ii)  AASB 2018‑7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material

(ix)  AASB 2021‑3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions 

beyond 30 June 2021 (effective 1 April 2021)

Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) arrangements

In March 2021, the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) issued an agenda decision to clarify the 
accounting treatment for SaaS arrangements, including the accounting for related implementation, 
customisation and configuration costs. 

The IFRIC clarified that SaaS arrangements are service contracts that provide the Group with the right to 
access the cloud provider’s software over a period of time. As a result, the underlying software the Group has 
the right to access is not controlled by the Group and therefore ongoing access fees as well as costs incurred 
to implement, customise and configure the cloud provider’s software are recognised as an expense when 
incurred. Costs incurred related to software controlled by the Group are capitalised and amortised on a 
straight‑line basis over their useful life.

The Group has not capitalised any SaaS arrangements and so this does not impact current or historical results.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

a. Basis of segmentation

The Group has the following two operating divisions, Kogan.com and Mighty Ape. These operating divisions 
offer different products and services and are managed separately because they require different product 
sourcing and marketing strategies.

The Board considers the business primarily from an operating divisions perspective, and receives monthly 
reports that allow them to make strategic decisions about resource allocation to each. On this basis, 
management has identified the operating divisions as the Group’s two reporting segments.

The Board monitors the performance of these two segments separately. The Group does not operate under 
any other operating division.

Reportable segments Operations

Kogan.com

Online retailer selling in‑house and third‑party brand household and consumer 
electronics products, as well as providing services for telecommunication, internet, 
insurance, home finances, utilities, vehicles and travel.

BUSINESS COMBINATION

a. Summary of acquisition

On 3 December 2020, Kogan.com signed the agreement to acquire 100% of Mighty Ape Limited for a headline 
purchase price of A$122.4m. Included in the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition 
of Mighty Ape Limited are inputs (a head office, warehouse, patented technology, inventories and customer 
relationships) and an organised workforce. The Group has determined that together the acquired inputs and 
processes significantly contribute to the ability to create revenue. The Group has concluded that the acquired 
set is a business.

The purchase price has been arranged in 4 tranches as follows:

This value differs from that stated in ‘Kogan.com acquires Mighty Ape – Presentation’ released on the 3 December 2020 due to 
movements in FX rates between the date of announcement and actual payment date.

kogan.com

Tranche 1 has been paid on 3 December 2020 and recorded at the applicable Australian dollar, being 
A$56.3m. Additionally a payment of A$3.1m was made relating to completion adjustments on 16 March 2021.

Tranche 2 is payable following audit clearance and is included within current acquisition payables at 
30 June 2021.

As part of the Sale Agreement, Tranche 3 and 4 are contingent on the Mighty Ape Founder & CEO remaining with 
the business until the delivery of the financial year 2023 results. Per IFRS 3.B55(a), Tranches 3 and 4 payments will 
be considered as compensation for post‑combination services, and as such, treated as employee remuneration. 
The Group will proportionately account for these expenses up until the respective payment dates. 

As at 30 June 2021 a total of $12.0m has been accrued for within Administrative Expenses and incorporated 
within the Adjusted EBITDA result given it does not represent the actual performance of the business.

Mighty Ape is one of New Zealand’s leading online retailers, with a focus on gaming, toys and other entertainment 
categories. The combination of two market leaders enables Mighty Ape to build on its strong customer offering, 
and provides the infrastructure to further scale.

The acquisition of Mighty Ape was funded from the Company’s cash reserves.

Ape acquisition which occurred in December 2020, resulting in an adjustment to the fair values below and 
a corresponding increase in goodwill.

Goodwill as at 31 December 2020

The goodwill is attributable to various factors, including the high profitability potential of the acquired 
business, the ability to provide an expanded range of products and services to customers, the value of growth 
opportunities and inseparable intangible assets such as customers data and synergies with the existing 
Kogan.com business. The goodwill arising on the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

e. Revenue and Profit contribution

The acquired business contributed revenues of A$80.2 million and net profit after tax of A$3.9 million to the 
Group for the period 1 December 2020 to 30 June 2021. Had the Group acquired Mighty Ape at the start 
of the financial year, it would have contributed an additional A$61.7 million of revenue and A$2.9 million 
of net profit after tax for the period 1 July 2020 to 30 November 2020.

h. Measurement of fair values

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

Assets acquired

Valuation technique

Software

Brands

Cost to replicate method: the cost to replicate method considers the time and  
cost incurred to develop the web‑based e‑commerce platform of Mighty Ape. This  
is considered appropriate as the platform does not directly generate independent 
cash flows.

Relief from royalty method: the relief‑from‑royalty method considers the discounted 
estimated royalty payments that are expected to be avoided as a result of the Mighty 
Ape Brands being owned. 

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 of 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.

As Kogan.com is an online‑only retailer, delivery fee income is not considered an independent rendering of 
services, but rather part of the Sales of Goods.

The timing of transfer of control varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement. For sale 
of goods, inclusive of delivery fee income, 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.

The decrease in revenue year‑on year relates to Extended Warranties sold prior to March 2019 whose revenue is being recognised 
in line with the requirements of AASB 15. Since FY19, Kogan.com has on‑sold all extended warranties to a Syndicate Underwriter at 
Lloyd’s of London.
Included within Employee Benefits are the recent awards of Retention Options after the Company’s AGM in November 2020. The 
Retention Options are accounted for in the same way the Company’s other equity‑settled awards are treated (refer section 5.2 of the 
FY20 Annual Report), with their fair value determined at their date of grant in line with AASB 2 Share-based payments. The cost 
of these transactions is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income 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. Accordingly, any deductions allowable for tax purposes will also be in line 
with current equity‑settled awards.

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.

The effective tax rate for FY21 of 69% reflects the impact of non‑deductible accruals for the Mighty Ape 
acquisition Tranches 3 & 4 and transactions costs, tax effected to $3.8 million. For income tax purposes, these 
are considered capital in nature, and therefore no tax deduction is available. Additionally, there is no deferred 
tax asset recognised in relation to this transaction as it is considered probable that the temporary difference 
will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

In 2021, inventories of $577 million (2020: $371 million) were recognised as an expense during the year and 
included in ‘cost of sales’.

In addition, inventories have been reduced by $3.0 million (2020: $0.6 million) as a result of the write‑down to 
net realisable value. This write‑down was recognised as an expense during the year.

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 to the Group.

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 2021

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

SECTION 2: OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)

2.1 Working Capital (continued)

2.1.3b Lease liability (continued)

As a lessee (continued)

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.

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 2021, the net carrying amount of the right‑of‑use asset is $15.7 million (2020: $2.4 million), 
please refer to note 2.3.

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 – general

Patents and trademarks – Matt Blatt

Website development costs

Intellectual property

2.5 years

10.0 years

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

SECTION 2: OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)

2.2 Intangible Assets (continued)

(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.

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.

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 2021 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 (continued)

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.

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 $91.7 million as at 30 June 2021 and $146.7 million as at the end 
of 30 June 2020. 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

72

kogan.com

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 during FY21.

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.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

SECTION 3: CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND FINANCING (continued)

3.2 Capital and Financial Risk Management (continued)

Financial Instruments (continued)

Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)

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.

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;

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.

76

kogan.com

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.

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 measures and recognises the following assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis after

foreign exchange forward contracts.

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

kogan.com

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

Level 3

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.

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 2021 totalled $204,798 (asset) (2020: $1,059,971 
(liability)). This represented the amount ‘in/out of the money’ on outstanding forward foreign exchange 
contracts as at the reporting dates.

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.

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.

80

kogan.com

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.

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 
team and other selected team members will consist of the following components:

• 

fixed remuneration (inclusive of superannuation);

•  short‑term cash‑based incentives; and

•  equity based long‑term incentives.

The Group has established the EIP, which is designed to align the interests of eligible employees more closely 
with the interests of Shareholders in the listed entity post 7 July 2016. Under the EIP, eligible employees may 
be offered Restricted Shares, Options or Rights which may be subject to vesting conditions. The Group may 
offer additional long‑term incentive schemes to senior management and other employees over time.

86

under the STI.

Calculation & Target

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

member’s annual salary.

Performance conditions

Restrictions on dealing

Shares allocated upon exercise of Performance Rights will rank equally with all 
existing Ordinary Shares from the date of issue (subject only to the requirements 
of Kogan’s Securities Trading Policy).

Upon vesting, there will be no disposal restrictions placed on the Shares issued 
to participants (subject only to the requirements of Kogan.com’s Securities 
Trading Policy).

Lapse of Rights

A Right will lapse upon the earliest to occur of:

•  expiry date;

• 

failure to meet vesting conditions;

•  employment termination;

• 

the participant electing to surrender the Right;

•  where, in the opinion of the Board, a participant deals with a Right 

in contravention of any dealing restrictions under the EIP.

Executive Retention Options awarded at the 2020 AGM issued under the Groups EIP

The following table outlines the significant aspects of the Executive EIP.

The number and class 
of securities issued to the 
Directors

Details of the 
Retention Options

3,600,000 options granted to Mr Kogan and 2,400,000 granted to Mr Shafer 
under the EIP.

The Board (excluding Mr Kogan and Mr Shafer) decided to grant the Retention 
Options to Mr Kogan and Mr Shafer because the Board believed it was in the 
best interests of the Company and Shareholders to incentivise Mr Kogan and 
Mr Shafer to remain in their positions for the next 3 years given their proven 
track records, in order to maximise the prospect of Mr Kogan and Mr Shafer 
contributing to the creation of significant future returns for Shareholders.

The Retention Options are being accounted for in the same way the Company’s 
current equity‑settled awards are treated (refer above), with their accounting 
value determined at their date of grant (within 10 Business Days of the 
Meeting). Equity‑settled awards are measured at fair value at the date of grant. 

The cost of these transactions is recognised in the Company’s 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. Accordingly, any 
deductions allowable for tax purposes will also be in line with current equity‑
settled awards.

The Company obtained an independent valuation of the Retention Options from 
SLM Corporate dated 7 May 2020 to provide advice in relation to whether the 
proposed grant of the Retention Options was reasonable in the circumstances 
and by reference to industry standards. The valuation applied a number of 
assumptions and variables, including the following:

Details of the Retention 
Options (continued)

• 

the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX on 30 April 2020 
(a reference date under the report), being $7.99 per Share;

•  a risk‑free rate of 0.33%;

•  a volatility factor of 62.5%;

•  dividend yield of 1.96%; and

•  a time to maturity of the underlying Options of 4 years.

The estimated value of each Retention Option pursuant to the valuation was

the Retention Options to be granted to Mr Kogan under Item 5.1 was 
$14,872,133; and

the Retention Options to be granted to Mr Shafer under Item 5.2 was 
$9,914,756.

The report from SLM Corporate dated 7 May 2020 reflects the value of the 
Retention Options on or about the date that the Company agreed to grant the 
Retention Options to Mr Kogan and Mr Shafer. For completeness, given the 
time that has elapsed between the AGM (at which the Retention Options were 
approved by Shareholders) and both the date of the independent valuation 
of the Retention Options from SLM Corporate and the date that the Company 
agreed to grant the Retention Options, the Company obtained an updated 
independent valuation of the Retention Options from SLM Corporate dated 
8 December 2020. This valuation applied the same assumptions and variables 
as noted above, except that:

• 

the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX on 30 November 2020 
(date of issue of the Retention Options as per the updated independent 
valuation), being $16.40 per Share;

•  a risk‑free rate of 0.25%;

•  a volatility factor of 62.5%; and

•  dividend yield of 1.28%.

The value of each Retention Option pursuant to the valuation was $11.48 as at 
the issue date of the updated independent valuation of 8 December 2020. 
On this basis, the value as at the issue date of the updated independent 
valuation of 8 December 2020 of:

• 

• 

the Retention Options granted to Mr Kogan was $41,325,935; and

the Retention Options granted to Mr Shafer was $27,550,623.

The increase in the value of the Retention Options reflects the increase in the 
Company’s share price since the Company announced the terms of the 
Retention Options to the ASX on 12 May 2020 and the grant of the Retention 
Options following the Company’s AGM on 20 November 2020.

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.

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 $15.6 million (2020: $1.0 million) 
which relates to Performance Rights granted during the year or in previous years.

The Group has recognised no expense in relation to cash based short‑term incentives in 2021 (2020: $0.9 million).

Key Audit Matters The Key Audit Matters we identified are: •Recognition of revenue;•Acquisition accounting; and•Valuation of inventory.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. Recognition of revenue (AUD $780.7m) Refer to Note 1.1 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Revenue recognition is a key audit matter due to the significant audit effort to test the:  •high volume of sale of goods transactionsrecorded as revenue and the significantvalue of revenue recognised;•Group’s judgement related to determiningthe timing of revenue recognition driven bythe conditions, associated with each of thetypes of services offered by the Group, suchas Kogan Marketplace; and•judgement to assess the Group’srecognition basis as a principal on a grossbasis or an agent on a net of costs paid basisusing the relevant terms of the underlyingcontracts against the requirements of theaccounting standard.Our procedures included: •evaluating the appropriateness of the Group’srevenue recognition policies against therequirements of the accounting standard;•testing key controls related to the sale of goodsand rendering of services, including approval ofrevenue rates and matching of invoices todelivery documents;•for a sample of sale of goods and servicesincome, we verified the transactions to therespective invoices and cash received from thecustomer in bank statements;•for a sample of sale of goods that were sold andservice income that was earned before andafter year end, we performed procedures toascertain that revenue was recorded in thecorrect financial year;•analysing the revenue recognition requirementsfor accurate presentation in terms of gross ornet presentation, in the financial statements;and•analysing the relevant terms for a sample of theunderlying contracts across each revenuestream to the criteria in the accountingstandards, those in the Group’s policy, andagainst what the Group identified asperformance obligations.Annual Report 2021

Acquisition accounting of Mighty Ape Limited and its controlled entities Refer to Note Business Combination to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit On 3 December 2020, Kogan.com Ltd purchased Mighty Ape Limited and its controlled entities (Mighty Ape). We consider the accounting for the purchase of Mighty Ape is a Key Audit Matter due to the: •size of the acquisition and therefore theimpact on the Financial Report; and•extent of judgement and complexity relatingto the purchase price allocation (PPA). TheGroup engaged an independent valuationexpert to advise on the identification andmeasurement of acquired assets andassumed liabilities, and in determining theallocation of purchase consideration togoodwill and separately identifiableintangible assets.Our procedures included: •reading the transaction documents related tothe acquisition to understand the structure, keyterms and conditions;•evaluating the methodology used for theacquisition accounting against accountingstandard requirements;•working with our valuation specialists to assessand challenge key assumptions used in the PPAto identify and value separate assets. Thisinvolved:−assessing the objectivity, competence,experience and scope of the Group’sindependent valuation expert;−challenging the Group’s significant judgmental assumptions such as identification of separate identifiable intangible assets and the Group’s independent valuation expert’s approach and methodology to valuing their assets by comparing to the requirements of the accounting standards; and  −comparing inputs used by the Group’sindependent valuation expert; and•assessing the Group’s accounting treatment ofpost-acquisition payments against thetransaction documents and relevant accountingstandards.INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED

Valuation of inventory (AUD $227.9m) Refer to Note 2.1.1 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit 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 subject to judgement or estimation including:  •consideration of market and consumerfactors that could impact the Group’s abilityto sell certain inventory items at profitablemargins, such as seasonality of demand,changing consumer preferences, andobsolescence due to technological orproduct change (particularly relevant toelectronic products); and•establishing a provision for slow movinginventory based on relevant factors such asinventory ageing and inventory turnover.. Our procedures included: •analysing the level of inventory by ageingcategories for each product type, includingmovements in ageing categories compared toprior periods, in order to highlight products orcategories at higher risk of impairment;•obtaining an understanding of how theinventory system computes ageing, andassessed the accuracy of inventory ageing bycomparing the inventory receipt date for asample of purchases to underlyingdocumentation such as supplier invoices;•comparing product unit cost to most recentsales price information for a sample of productsin order to identify inventory that may not beable to be sold above cost; and•assessing the Group’s inventory provision,based on the ageing of product category andother relevant factors such as those identifiedabove, for consistency with the Group’sestablished accounting policy and accountingstandards.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.

This includes disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless they either intend to liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or haveno 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 frommaterial 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.
