LETTER FROM  
THE CHAIR AND CEO

LiveTiles Annual Report 202111

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

It is a pleasure to present LiveTiles’ Annual Report for 

the 2020-21 financial year. 

Since my appointment in September 2020, LiveTiles 

has progressed from a digital workplace technology 

provider to a pioneer in the Employee Experience 

Platform (EXP) space. ‘Employee Experience’ as we 

knew it has changed forever and a renaissance of the 

concept is underway - right now - as a result of the 

dramatic changes in working environments around 

the globe. Organisations are becoming more mindful 

of the experiences they influence. Almost every 

organisation is realising the need to fundamentally 
change the way it engages with employees, the way it 

attracts and develops them, and ultimately, the way it 

connects with them so that employees feel they belong 

to a deeply connected purpose-driven community. 

Employees, now more than ever, need the means 

to connect, and disconnect, to set boundaries for 

the betterment of their own and their colleagues’ 

health and wellbeing. It’s no longer just about getting 

employees to engage with content. But it’s about 

generating deeper connections and interactions 

where employees are engaging, collaborating and 

learning from each other. 

We believe that LiveTiles is uniquely positioned to 

capitalise on the rapidly evolving EXP market. We are 

one of the few companies in the world that offers fully 

integrated solutions - both mobile and desktop – that 

enhances the engagement and collaboration needs  

of any employee in any industry, presenting both  

short- and long-term growth opportunities. 

In FY21, LiveTiles became ‘leaner and sharper’ 

concentrating on improvements across the business 

and realising healthy growth in our licence base 

and operating revenues. We reduced operating 

expenditures putting the company on a pathway to 

profitability and our Board is committed to continue 

its focus on disciplined cost management during  

FY22 and beyond. 

In acknowledgement of our share price performance 

and shareholder feedback, the Board commissioned 

an independent strategic review in Q3 of FY21 with 

the aim of evaluating the operations, structure and 

strategy of LiveTiles. The Board endorsed the review 

findings, resulting in a new strategic plan, with the 

execution of this plan started in late Q4 FY21,  

and will continue throughout FY22. 

The review confirmed that LiveTiles is well positioned 

to capitalise on the growing Employee Experience 

market noting the recent success of LiveTiles Reach.  

It has been encouraging to see the success of LiveTiles 

Reach, our Employee Experience mobile app, and 

the competitive advantage it has given LiveTiles in 

the market. Our LiveTiles Reach offering has been 

instrumental in securing record company deals and 

work with renowned global organisations such as 

United Healthcare Group, Nestle and Footlocker.  

This success comes as a result of production innovation 

based on deep customer insight, dedication to our  

long-term view and relationship building, and I thank 

the LiveTiles team for these achievements to date. We 

look forward to significantly leveraging our LiveTiles 

Reach offering within the EXP market in FY22. 

Another important outcome of the review has  

been our focus on improving LiveTiles’ operating 

efficiencies. The leadership team is focused on 

simplifying our business model, on consolidating  

our product portfolio, on refining our go-to-market 

strategy, and on disciplined performance 

management. To date, this has had improved 

underlying performance, which we expect to  

continue throughout FY22 and beyond.

The outcomes of the commissioned review did not 

come without its challenges. The company undertook 

a restructure during Q4 of FY21, which resulted in a 

number of our colleagues leaving. We thank them for 

their contributions and commitment to LiveTiles.

Our people deserve a sincere thanks for their hard 

work and affective commitment to LiveTiles. I have 

been impressed by the collective ability, desire and 

courage of LiveTilers to think differently and create 

unforgettable experiences for our customers. This 

is not just an espoused value but a consistently 

demonstrated one that has become the norm within 

LiveTiles. The vibe and energy that I am experiencing 

at LiveTiles underpins our culture. How we foster and 

further evolve our own Employee Experience and 

culture during the next few years will be a key area  

of focus to me.

CEO’s Letter to Shareholders

FY21 Operational Overview

Dear Shareholder,

Customers and Partners

The last 12 months have been extraordinary, and I’d 

like to offer my thanks for your continued investment 

and support. FY21 was not without its global 

operational challenges due to the ongoing uncertainty 

with COVID-19. But we have continued to make 

significant improvements across the business during 

the year, while executing strict cost discipline,  

and we are pleased with the foundation the  

Company has built for FY22. 

FY21 Financial Performance Overview

Our focus on delivering the best Employee Experience 

solutions through innovation and service has resonated 

strongly with customers and users. Over the last 12 

months we have continued to obsess over providing 

the best experience possible for our customers with 

product and service innovations, as well as strategic 

partnerships to help grow sales pipeline.

We have been successful in leveraging strategic 

partnerships to accelerate customer acquisitions, 

drive product innovation and improve the customer 

experience. Examples include making strategic 

Despite the challenges of FY21, our contracted licence 

investments into R&D partnerships with leading 

base grew 48% to 2.3 million, including an outstanding

look into the numbers reveals more encouraging signs 

for our business. Cash Receipts of $51.8m in FY21 

were a fresh record, that’s an increase of 26% year on 

year and represents a 96% 3-year Compound annual 

growth rate. 

Adjusted2 net operating cash flow on a trailing twelve 

month basis has improved by 72% from $(22)m in 

FY20 to $(6.2)m. Cash and cash equivalents was 

$16.8m as at 30 June 2021, leaving sufficient capital 

to manage ongoing operations.

At LiveTiles, we believe that Employee experience 

(EX) is the emotional connection that emerges from 

the experience between a person and their employer. 

Our continuous mission is to ensure that LiveTiles 

employees feel deeply connected to our company’s 

values, purpose, brand, and vision. As a company, 

we are always evolving and embracing change as we 

adapt to fluctuations in the market and the needs 

of our customers. However, our internal values are 

one aspect of the employee experience that remain 

constant and unwavering. 

1.  Underlying EBITDA excludes non-cash expenses and one-off non-recurring items 

2.  Adjusted Net Operating Cash Flows includes cash payments for capitalised software development costs (reported in Investing Activities), lease liability payments (reported in Financing activities)

all aspects of the employee experience at LiveTiles, 

from recruitment, to onboarding, to conduct, to

LiveTiles has always prided itself on being a people 

first company, one that embraces work/life blend  

(note, we don’t use the term “balance” which we 

believe to be more suggestive of a complex juggling 

act), and we are a company that truly cares about  

the wellbeing of its employees. 

Globally we have implemented competitive and

to take paid leave when needed or desired. In addition 

to annual leave, employees are provided additional

Today, LiveTiles takes another step. We are pledging 

to achieve net-zero emissions by 2025. This is 

significantly ahead of many industry peers.

Our strategy to reduce our emissions will be 

multifaceted and will be assisted by Tim Hodgson,

Operating and Financial review

Certain financial information in the review of business operations below referencing Earnings Before Interest, 

Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) has been derived from the reviewed financial statements. 

The Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR1), EBITDA and Underlying EBITDA positions are non-IFRS financial 

information used by Directors and Management to assess the underlying performance of the business and 

as such have not been reviewed in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

During the year ended 30 June 2021, despite the ongoing global challenges with COVID-19, LiveTiles has 

achieved another year of strong growth across its key business metrics of ARR, Revenues, EBITDA and Cash. 

•  ARR grew +17% to $62.8m (2020: $53.8m), comprising 1,078 customers (2020: 1,092). On a constant 

currency basis when compared with 30 June 2020 FX rates, ARR grew 20% to $64.7m as at 30 June 2021.

•  Operating Revenues grew +19% to $44. 98m (2020: $37.8m). 

•  EBTIDA improved by +19% to $(16.2)m 2020: $(19.9)m. On an Underlying EBITDA basis, there was 

a +91% improvement year over year to $(1.1)m.

•  Cash Receipts grew +26% to $51.8m (2020: $41m) and Adjusted Net Operating Cash Flows2 improved 
+26% to $(19.6)m (2020: $26.6m), when excluding one-off non-recurring payments in FY21 this position 
improved +72% to $(6.2)m leaving cash balance at 30 June 2021 at $16.8m (2020: $37.8m).

1.  LiveTiles defines ARR as revenue, normalised on an annual basis, that LiveTiles has a reasonable expectation it will continue to receive from its customers for providing them with products and services. 

This definition includes committed recurring subscriptions for products and services, and includes service types where there is a demonstrable track record of repeat revenues such as support. It excludes 

revenue deemed unlikely to be recurring in nature.

2.  Adjusted Net Operating Cash Flows includes cash payments for capitalised software development costs (reported in Investing Activities), lease liability payments (reported in Financing activities) and excludes 

government grant income, as this is an accurate reflection of the Company’s operating cash positions.

Revenue (AUD $m)

Despite the challenging operating environment over the past  
12 months due to COVID-19, LiveTiles has successfully grown its 
Operating Revenues by +19% in FY21 when compared to FY20. 

This growth highlights the strength of the LiveTiles product offering in the evolving Employee Experience 

market in a post-COVID work environment. Results driven by the Company’s new business sales from 

both direct and indirect channels, the evolving sales motion of cross-selling LiveTiles products and upselling 

licence counts into existing customers, strategic partnerships, ongoing product innovation and strengthening 

brand awareness. 

For the 12 months to 30 June 2021, total revenue and other income was $46.72m (2020: $44.47m), including 

subscription revenue of $34.40m (2020: $28.98m), Software related services revenue of $10.57m (2020: 

$8.8m) and government grant, other income of $1.7m (2020: $6.7m). In addition, unearned revenue (a balance 

within the Statement of Financial Position) was $13.5m (2020: $11.28m); a result of invoicing customers their 

full fees in advance of their subscription period, a feature of Software as a Service (SaaS) business models.

1   Go-to-Market Model

Land and Expand 

As part of the organisational restructure, the 

go-to-market and sales model has been adjusted, 

with a focus to not only continue with new business 

sales, which accounts for 71% of FY21 ARR growth; 

however, to increase our attention and investment 

into existing Account Management function and 

account-based marketing to drive greater upsell and 

cross-sell motions to our existing 1,000+ customers.

There will be a specific focus on the existing customer 

base that accounts for 70% of current revenues, 

with an aim to have over 40% of future ARR growth 

come from existing customers and strengthen the 

Net $ Retention rates by 5-10% and move towards 

SaaS best in class. Starting from 1 July, the Account 

Management function now has 42% of total field 

roles compared to 26% in FY21.

Enterprise and Small-Medium Sized 
Business (SMB) 

Starting in Q1FY22; there will be a shift in the 

investment and focus of the sales and marketing 

teams to the Enterprise and Mid-Market customer 

markets only, whilst the Company will provide a newly 

launched digital platform for the SMB market to 

access our Employee App offering (LiveTiles Reach)  

in a low to no touch motion. 

The approach is to get LiveTiles Reach into the hands 

of as many users as possible, whilst allowing LiveTiles 

focus to be on the higher return value customer. 

To support this initiative, we are launching a new 

LiveTiles Reach dedicated website, a robust digital 

marketing strategy and an engaging free LiveTiles 
Reach trial – bolstering LiveTiles Reach app downloads 

by 10x and an expected increase of 15-20% in LiveTiles 

Reach paying customers achieved as an outcome of 

conversions through the trial download.

  Executive remuneration arrangements

Remuneration principles

The Group’s approach to executive remuneration is based on the following objectives:

•  Ensuring the Company’s remuneration structures are equitable and aligned with long-term interests 

of the Company and its shareholders;

•  Attracting and retaining skilled executives; and

•  Structuring short and long-term incentives that are challenging and linked to the creation of sustainable 

shareholder returns.

Company performance

A key underlying principle of the Group’s executive remuneration framework is that remuneration levels 

should be linked to Group performance. As the Group’s strategy is focused on investing in growth to drive 

recurring revenues and set up for future profitability, it has not been appropriate, to date, to assess the Group’s 

performance on the basis of profitability.

The Group’s key financial measure of performance over the longer term includes the increase in annualised 

recurring revenue which has increased to $62.8 million at 30 June 2021 from $53.8 million at 30 June 2020. 

Shareholder alignment is driven by the structure of the Management Incentive Plan, where share price 

appreciation drives value for executives through the Plan (refer to section 7 of the Remuneration Report).

  Executive remuneration details

Details of the remuneration paid to KMP executives for the year are set out below. 

Fixed remuneration and Long-Term Incentive (LTI)

In 2019, the Board implemented the outcomes of an independent review of the Company’s executive 

director remuneration. In FY20 due to the impacts of the COVID19 pandemic, rather than having ARR 

growth as the only measure, a focus on cash management was also required. For the 2021 financial year, 

the same principles from both 2019 and 2020 were also applied. These changes were also a result of investor 

and proxy firm feedback to add additional performance metrics beyond ARR growth to the Company’s fixed 

remuneration framework. 

In relation to the FY21 LTI measures, the aim was to foster greater alignment between employees, 

shareholders, customers and executive outcomes, with the focuses on:

i. 

long term financial performance hurdles and delivery against the Company longer-term strategy; and 

ii.  creation of sustained shareholder value.

In financial year 2021 no Executive Directors were awarded LTI. The CEO and CXO, respectively, remain  

the single largest shareholders in the Group, providing strong alignment with shareholder interests. 

Future measures of long-term value creation, in the form of incentive schemes as part of executive 

remuneration, will be reviewed by the Board in financial year 2022.

Short-Term Incentive (STI)

In respect of Executive Director STI for financial year 2021, the targets related to ARR growth, balancing the 

operating investments that drive growth with disciplined cash efficiencies as stated above and other qualitative 

metrics aligned to strategy. ARR growth has been selected by the Board as a primary measure for performance 

since LiveTiles listed on ASX in 2015, as this is a broadly accepted measure of future revenues and growth 

performance for pre-profitability Software as a Service (SaaS) comparable companies in light of their recurring 

nature and intrinsic recurring cash flow value to shareholder. Whilst the cash measures have been adopted in 

light of recent macro-environment pressures and a view by the Board to drive disciplined cost initiatives. 

For financial year 2021, the Group achieved +17% ARR growth and realised a +26% improvement in its 

Adjusted Net Operating Cash Flow on a trailing 12-month basis. The Remuneration Committee assessed the 

Executive Directors to have achieved their FY21 STI targets; however, the Executive Directors offered to 

forego their FY21 bonus payments considering the current macro environment and ultimately in the interests 

of the Company and shareholders. This was accepted and endorsed by the Remuneration Committee.

The Company’s annual performance management cycle is due to complete by October. The Board will update 

investors on the performance management cycle outcome and metrics at the Company’s Annual General 

Meeting in November 2021. 

CFO targets relate to the external audit, global taxation framework, robust financial performance and analysis, 

implementation of key business systems, strategic planning, transformation, and operations support.

  Non-executive director fee arrangements

The Board seeks to set the fees for non-executive directors at a level which provides the Company with the 

ability to attract and retain directors of a high calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Under the Company’s constitution and the ASX listing rules, the maximum aggregate amount of fees that can 

be paid to non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting of shareholders. 

The current aggregate fee pool for the non-executive directors is $500,000.

Each non-executive director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. In addition, a non-executive 

director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Board determines where a non-executive director 

performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a director. 

Non-executive directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in performing 

their duties as directors.

Non-executive director letters of appointment are in place with Dr Marc Stigter, Jesse Todd and Fiona Le Brocq.

Management Incentive Plan

The purpose of the Management Incentive Plan (MIP) is to assist in the reward, retention and motivation 

of eligible directors and management and to align the interests of these persons more closely with the interests 

of the Company’s shareholders. Shares issued under the MIP to executives who are key management personnel 

have been structured such that executives are remunerated only when the Company’s share price exceeds 

the vesting price.

The issue price of shares issued under the MIP is funded by a non-recourse interest free loan from the 

Company. The issue price and loan value is set with reference to the closing share price on the date prior to 

issue. Vesting of shares issued under the MIP is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of vesting conditions 

determined by the Board. Subject to the MIP rules, any unvested shares lapse immediately and are forfeited if 

the relevant vesting conditions are not satisfied within the applicable vesting period. Once vested, shares issued 

under the MIP are treated in the same way as all other ordinary shares, subject to the full repayment of any 

outstanding loan by the relevant executive. 

The Board has the sole discretion to determine the directors and employees who are eligible to participate 
in the MIP and the terms upon which shares are issued under the MIP, including the issue price, loan amount 

and vesting conditions. 

The following tranches of shares have been issued to key management personnel under the MIP:

Loans to Key Management Personnel

The following non-recourse loans have been provided by the Company to KMP under the MIP (as approved 

by shareholders at a general meeting on 30 November 2020). The non-recourse loans are interest-free and the 

proceeds are used to subscribe for shares in the Company under the MIP. The non-recourse loans are treated 

as off-balance sheet due to the inherent uncertainty that they will crystallise. Under the terms of the MIP, 

there is no obligation to settle the loan, which is dependent on the satisfaction of the vesting conditions and 

the recipient’s option to exercise. The shares remain restricted until funds are received in settlement of the 

prescribed loan balance, providing the Company security over the receivable.

The loans in the above table, first raised in April 2019, have been provided to the co-founders to assist with 

their defence of litigation brought against them, as advised to ASX on 1 June 2018. While the Group has 

engaged its own lawyers to represent the four Group entities named in the litigation, instructed by the 

independent non-executive directors, the loans above solely relate to legal advice sought by co-founders. 

The loans have been provided at arm’s length with a total capped principal amount of $475,000 per person. 

Interest charged at 15% per annum and is capitalised annually. There have been no write-downs of balances 

owed during the period. No provision is held in relation to the collection of these balances.

The loan is repayable, including interest, 180 days after the later of 1) the case is settled, 2) findings 

determined against the defendants or 3) receipt of cost assessors certificate but no later than 31 December 

2022. The independent non-executive directors, supported by legal counsel, continue to monitor the case 

on behalf of the Group and the governance of these loans.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

These consolidated financial statements and notes 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, 

represent LiveTiles Limited and controlled entities 

all intercompany balances and transactions, income 

(the “Consolidated Group” or “Group”).

and adjustments made where necessary to ensure

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

the Group.

Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements have 

been prepared in accordance with the Corporations 

Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and 

Interpretations of the Australian Accounting 

Standards Board and International Financial 

Reporting Standards as issued by the International 

Accounting Standards Board. The Group is a for-

profit entity for financial reporting purposes under 

Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting 

policies adopted in the preparation of these financial 

statements are presented below and have been 

consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars 

and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar. 

a. 

 Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate 

all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent 

entity (LiveTiles Limited) and all of the subsidiaries. 

Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. 

The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, 

or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement 

with the entity and has the ability to affect those 

returns through its power over the entity. A list of 

the subsidiaries is provided in Note 19.

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries 

are 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 control ceases. 

b.  Fair value of assets and liabilities

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 Standard.

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell 

an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability 

in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between 

independent, knowledgeable, and willing market 

participants at the measurement date.

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest 

equivalent observable market pricing information 

is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to 

market values may be made having regard to the 

characteristics of the specific asset or liability. 

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.

To the extent possible, market information is 

extracted from either the principal market for the 

asset or liability (i.e. the market with the greatest 

volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) 

or, in the absence of such a market, the most 

advantageous market available to the entity at the end 

of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises 

the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the 

payments made to transfer the liability, after taking 

into account transaction costs and transport costs).

t.  Earnings per share

v.  Key estimates

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the 

i.  Share-based payment transactions

profit or loss attributable to the owners of LiveTiles 

Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity 

other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average 

number of ordinary shares outstanding during the 

financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in 

ordinary shares issued during the financial period.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used 

in the determination of basic earnings per share 

to take into account the after income tax effect of 

interest and other financing costs associated with 

dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted 

average number of shares assumed to have been 

issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive 

potential ordinary shares.

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled 

transactions with employees by reference to 

the fair value of the equity instruments at the 

date at which they are granted. The fair value is 

determined by using the Black-Scholes model 

taking into account the terms and conditions 

upon which the instruments were granted. The 

accounting estimates and assumptions relating to 

equity-settled share-based payments would have 

no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and 

liabilities within the next annual reporting period 

but may impact profit or loss and equity.

ii.  Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible 

temporary differences only if the Group considers 

it is probable that future taxable amounts will be 

available to utilise those temporary differences 

and losses.

the life of the project.

The Directors have reviewed all of the new and

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for the impairment of trade and other receivables 

as well as other current assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the lifetime expected 

credit loss (ECL). In using this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators, 

and forward-looking information to calculate the ECL using a provision matrix. From this calculation, it was 

determined that the ECL in trade and other receivables was immaterial to be disclosed separately.

During the period, the Group recognised a doubtful debt expense of $360,397 (2020: $205,797). This is shown 

within Other Expenses of $5,234,104 (2020: $4,425,711).

Credit risk
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group  

of counterparties. 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 credit risk exposures in Australia, Asia, North America, Europe and  

the Middle East. The Group’s exposure to credit risk for trade 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 with ageing analysis and 

impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as “past due” when the debt has not been settled, 

with the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counterparty to the transaction. 

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 balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered  

to be of high credit quality.

The estimated useful life of capitalised development costs is determined to be in line with the frequency 

at which our software is updated and replaced. During the 2021 financial year, development costs were 

fully amortised in the same financial year given the iterative nature and frequency of updates in the Group’s 

product life cycle.

Other intangible assets have a finite life and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The 

estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. The useful life 

of software intellectual property is 10 years. The useful life of customer contracts and relationships is 2 years. 

Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. For the 2021 and 2020 reporting 

periods, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units (CGUs) was determined based on value-in-use 

calculations, using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a 

five-year period. Of the Group’s goodwill at 30 June 2021, $3.1m relates to the acquisition of Hyperfish Inc., 

$27.1m relates to the acquisition of Wizdom A/S and $26.7m relates to the acquisition of CYCL AG.

The assumptions used for the current reporting period may differ from the assumptions in the next reporting 

period as internal and external circumstances and expectations change. The Group has used the following 

assumptions in the 30 June 2021 calculation of value-in-use, based on conservative expectations for the future:

Assumptions for gross margin, other operating costs and annual capital expenditure are based on past 

performance and management’s expectations for the future. 

Should these assumptions not occur the resulting goodwill carrying may decrease. Management has performed 

sensitivity analysis and assessed reasonable changes for key assumptions and has not identified any instances 

that could cause the carrying amount of the group of CGUs, over which goodwill is monitored, to exceed its 

recoverable amount. Analysis performed as follows:

•  If the annual revenue growth rate applied was 5% lower, no impairment noted;

•  If gross margin / operating cost and annual capital expenditure forecasts exceeded by 5% – 10%,  

no impairment noted;

•  Terminal growth rate assumed at the lowest end of the range of historical inflation rates (i.e 2.0% – 3.5%);

•  Post-tax discount rate assumed at the highest end of the range of industry peers, per benchmarking analysis.

Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount 

is based would not cause the CGUs carry amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

The Group leases various offices and equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 2 to 

5 years but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide 

range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets 

may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

Unearned income is carried at amortised cost and represents amounts billed to customers in advance of the 

revenue being recognised in accordance with the revenue recognition policy outlined in note 1. Unearned 

income is presented as a current liability unless the performance obligations associated with the revenue will 

be satisfied in greater than 12 months.

US government program repayable relates to amounts owed to the United States (US) Federal Government 

for monies loaned to the Group on a 1% annual interest loan under the US Small Business Administration 

(SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) (the program). Monies under this program were distributed by US 

commercial banks in accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) 

enacted on 27 March 2020. 

LiveTiles Annual Report 2021Consolidated Financial Statements  
 
79

Under the program, the Group applied for, and received, a second distribution amount of $962,789 (2020: 

$1,866,204). Under the terms of the program this was calculated to enable the Group to draw funds to the 

value of twenty four weeks payroll, employee related oncosts and rental expenses. To the extent that the 

borrowed funds were used for these purposes, under the terms of the program, loan monies would be forgiven, 

adjusted for any reduction of headcount. The Group has received notice of forgiveness of $1,655,138, relating 

to the first distribution amount received in 2020, leaving $211,066 remaining payable.

The Group has estimated that the value of the second distribution amount which will be forgiven as $872,004, 

leaving $90,785 remaining payable, reflecting the impact of reductions in headcount in the US as a result of 

restructuring during the period. This will be assessed during the 2022 financial year. Government grant income 

has been recorded for the value of this estimated forgiveness, with the remaining balance of the loan remaining 

a payable. 

The unforgiven balances of the loans are not due and are not payable within the next twelve months.

Provision for employee benefits

Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.

The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the 

amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the 

required period of service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave 

or long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, 

these amounts must be classified as current liabilities since the Group does not have an unconditional right to 

defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement. It is expected 

that $584,858 will not be taken in the next 12 months.

The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that 

have not yet vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.

In calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long 

service leave being taken is based on historical data. Refer to note 1 for the measurement and recognition 

criteria relating to employee benefits.

NOTE 18: NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES – PENSION LIABILITIES

The Group’s pension liabilities relate to the defined benefit plans in Switzerland, which were acquired in 

December 2019 upon the completion of the acquisition of CYCL AG. As at 30 June 2021, the fund has a funding 

ratio of 118%. As required under Swiss law, the plans are co-funded by the Group with equal co-contributions 

required by the employees ranging from 4% – 10% of the employee’s salary. Upon retirement, employees are 

entitled to either receive a lump sum payment to the value of their accumulated retirement balance; or receive 

an ongoing annual annuity calculated as a percentage (conversion rate) of their accumulated balance – as at 

30 June 2021 this conversion rate is 6.20%.

The defined benefit plans are legally separate from the Group and administered by a separate fund. The pension 

plans of the Group are managed by Swiss pension fund ‘Profond Pension Fund’ (the fund), which is a collective 

pension fund, which is common in Switzerland. Under this structure, members own a proportionate share of 

the aggregated collective investments, rather than an individual share of the underlying assets, as is common 

in Australia. The Group’s members consist of 45 of the total 57,775 members as at 30 June 2021.

The board of the fund is made up of independent trustees/directors. By law, the board is required to act in the 

best interests of participants to the schemes and has the responsibility of setting investment, contribution, 

benefit levels and other relevant policies. 

LiveTiles Annual Report 2021Consolidated Financial Statements  
 
81

The plans are exposed to a number of risks, including:

•  Investment risk: movement of discount rate used against the return from plan assets;

•  Interest rate risk: decreases/increases in the discount rate used will increase/decrease  

the defined benefit obligation;

•  Longevity risk: changes in the estimation of mortality rates of current and former employees; and

•  Salary risk: increases in future salaries increase the gross defined benefit obligation.

As the fund is a collective fund, return on assets are distributed to participants at a rate agreed by the pension 

board and any surplus/(deficit) is held in reserve. The effect of this is to provide consistency of returns and to 

enable the fund to have sufficient reserves to fund any future payment obligations. 

In the event of a funding shortfall, the pension plan regulations outline that the following provisions  

will be made, in sequence:

1. 

 Make changes to the way the fund is administered, including:

•  Adjustments to the calculation of future benefit entitlements (conversion rate);

•  Adjustments to the investment strategy;

•  Adjustments to financing/benefits; and

•  Restrictions on early withdrawals of benefits.

2. 

 If a shortfall persists, for the duration of the cover shortfall, the pension plan may levy (non-returnable) 

contributions from employees, employers or pensioners. 

In the event that a funding shortfall does occur, separately to the pension plan regulations, the Swiss 

Government has established a scheme, the LOB Guarantee Fund, by which pension funds may be entitled  

to subsidies to enable equalisation. The fund may act to provide subsidies in the following circumstances:

•  benefit schemes with an unfavourable age structure; or

•  where a pension fund has become insolvent.

AASB 119 requires that the assets and obligations of the fund are valued in accordance with an actuarial 

valuation, using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, where the fair value of plan assets differs 

from the projected benefit obligation of a pension plan must be recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet  

as an asset, in the case of an overfunded plan, or as a liability, in the case of an underfunded plan.

The gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise but are not recognised as components of pension 

cost are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The service costs related to defined benefits 

are included in operating income. The other components of net benefit cost are presented in the consolidated 

profit and loss separately from the service cost component and outside operating income.

The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in profit and loss, actuarial 
gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income, and funded status and amounts recognised in the 

consolidated statement of financial position.

The projected unit credit method, requires management make certain assumptions relating to the long-term 

rate of return on plan assets, discount rates used to determine the present value of future obligations and 

expenses, salary inflation rates, mortality rates and other assumptions. The accounting estimates related to our 

pension plans are highly susceptible to change from period to period based on the performance of plan assets, 

actuarial valuations, market conditions and contracted benefit changes. 

The selection of assumptions is based on historical trends and known economic and market conditions at the 

time of valuation, as well as independent studies of trends performed by our actuarial advisors. However,  

actual results may differ substantially from the estimates that were based on the critical assumptions.

The reconciliation to the fair value of plan assets and projected benefit obligation under the projected unit 

method are shown over page.

The Group reviews annually the discount rate used to calculate the present value of pension plan liabilities. 

The discount rate used at each measurement date is set based on a high-quality corporate bond yield curve, 

derived based on bond universe information sourced from reputable third-party indexes, data providers, and 

rating agencies. Additionally, the expected long term rate of return on plan assets is derived for each benefit 

plan by considering the expected future long-term return assumption for each individual asset class. A single 

long-term return assumption is then derived for each plan based upon the plan’s target asset allocation. 

The actuarial assumption used in determining the present value of the defined benefit obligation of the pension 

plans include:

volatility of the underlying share. An adjustment has also been made to the valuation to reflect the time and 

price based vesting conditions. The volatility is based on the volatility in the Company’s share price since the 

date of the reverse acquisition.

(c)  Contingent payment on acquisition of Wizdom A/S

On 13 February 2019, LiveTiles acquired Wizdom A/S from Webtop Holding ApS. Because part of the total 

amount payable to Webtop Holding ApS is contingent on the continued employment of key Wizdom staff,  

such amount is deemed to be a share based payment for post combination services. The fair value has  

been determined using the market price of LiveTiles shares, probability of contingencies being met  

and an appropriate discount rate to reflect payment periods.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables and cash.

The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate, foreign currency, credit risk 

and liquidity risk, with the objective of providing support to the delivery of the Group’s financial target while 

protecting financial security.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk 

and foreign currency risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risk to 

which it is exposed. These include analysis of aging reports to monitor and manage credit risk, analysis of future 

rolling cash flow forecasts to monitor and manage liquidity risk, monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate 

and foreign currency risk, and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign currency exchange 

rate movement.

The Board reviews and agrees risk management strategies for managing each of the risk identified above.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with Management under authority  

of the Board.

Risks exposures and responses

(i) Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is minimal given the Group has no borrowings.

The Group does not enter into any interest rate swaps, interest rate options or similar derivatives.

At the balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to variable 

interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

(ii) Foreign currency risk
The Group’s functional currency is Australian dollars (AUD) and the Group is exposed to transactional currency 

exposures. Such exposures arise primarily as a result of sales and expenses of LiveTiles Corporation being  

made in foreign currencies in addition to bank accounts being held in foreign entities. Foreign currency risk  

is managed by holding the Group’s cash in a combination of USD, DKK, EUR, CHF and AUD. Management  

also reviews the foreign currency product pricing structure on a quarterly basis.

At balance date, the Group had the following exposure to foreign currencies that is not designated  

in cash flow hedges:

 AUD

Cash and cash equivalents – USD

The judgement of reasonable possible rate movement is based upon management’s current assessment  

of the possible change in foreign currency exchange rates. This is based on regular review of current trends  

and forecasts. There has been no change in assumptions and sensitivities from the previous year.

(iv) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial 

loss to the Group. The Group assesses the credit worthiness of the counterparty before entering into a sales 

contract. Further mitigating this risk is the ability to turn off the customer’s software if a customer begins 

to default on their contractual obligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to 

recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment to those assets, 

as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

(v) Fair value of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying value of financial instruments reflect their fair value. The carrying 

amounts of trade receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their 

short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual 

maturities at their current market interest rate that is available for similar financial instruments.

The CODM uses underlying EBITDA as a measure to assess the performance of the segments. This excludes  

the effects of significant items of income and expenditure which may have an impact on the quality of earnings 

such as acquisition costs, legal expenses and impairments when the impairment is the result of an isolated,  

non–recurring event. It also excludes the effects of equity-settled share-based payments, unrealised gains/

losses on financial instruments and amortisation of intangibles.

Interest income and expenditure are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven by the central 

treasury function, which manages the cash position of the Group.

NOTE 28: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There are no material contingent liabilities.

NOTE 29: EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

There have been no significant events affecting the Group since the end of the financial year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

To the members of LiveTiles Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of LiveTiles Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the 
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement 
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes 
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ 
declaration. 

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

(i)

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its 
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and  

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for opinion  

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) 
that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other 
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the 
time of this auditor’s report. 

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

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report 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.

Revenue recognition 

Key audit matter  

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Australian Accounting Standard AASB 15: 

To determine whether revenue was appropriately accounted for 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

(‘AASB 15’) users a five step model to 

and disclosed within the financial statements, we performed, 
amongst others, the following audit procedures: 

recognise revenue. A number of estimates 

and judgements are made by management 

in order to determine the point at which 

performance obligations are met and 

when revenue can be recognised.       

• 

Critically evaluated the revenue recognition policies for 

all material sources of revenue and from our detailed 

testing performed, ensured that revenue was being 

recognised appropriately, in line with Australian 

Accounting Standards and policies disclosed within the 

Due to these factors and the overall 

financial statements. This included ensuring that revenue 

significance of revenue to the Group as a 

was recognised in accordance with the requirements of 

key performance indicator, we considered 

AASB 15.  

this area to be a key audit matter.     

• 

Selecting a sample of revenue transactions agreeing 

revenue recognised to supporting documentation to 

confirm the existence and accuracy of the revenue 

recognised and to consider whether the transactions were 

recorded in the correct period. Furthermore, we obtained 

and inspected the deferred revenue schedules in order to 

ensure that correct adjustments were recorded to 

recognise the revenue in the appropriate reporting 

period. 

Carrying value of intangible assets 

Key audit matter  

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

As at 30 June 2021, the Group recognised 

Our audit procedures for assessing the carrying value of the 

intangible assets with a carrying value of 

Group’s intangible assets included, but were not limited to, the 

$72,508,993 as disclosed in Note 12.  

following:   

The assessment of the carrying value of 

intangible assets was considered a key 

audit matter due to the significant value 

of these assets in the Consolidated 

Statement of Financial Position in addition 

to the key estimates and judgements 

applied by management in determining 

the recoverable value of these assets 

under Australian Accounting Standard 

(AASB) 136 Impairment of Assets.  

• 

• 

• 

Evaluated the discounted cash flow models prepared by 

management and challenged the assumptions and 

judgements made. This included considering the 

reliability of the cash generating units (‘CGU’) historical 

performance in comparison to forecast future cash flows. 

Together with BDO valuation specialists, assessed the 

reasonableness of the discount rates applied by 

management. 

Performed sensitivity analysis on the key inputs applied to 

the discounted cash flow models to assess the impact that 

minor changes in the assumptions would make to the 

recoverable value of the CGU.     

LiveTiles Annual Report 2021Independent Auditor’s Report 
 
 
 
 
 
106

• 

• 

Assessed the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in 

respect of intangible assets carrying values and 

impairment assessment assumptions as disclosed in note 

12 of the financial report.  

Considered any additional impairment indicators as per 

AASB 136 Impairment of Assets and the impact on 

management’s assumptions. 

Other information  

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information in the Directors’ Report (excluding the audited Remuneration Report section) for the year 
ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon, which 
we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Annual Report to Shareholders, which is 
expected to be made available to us after that date. 

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

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date 
of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, 
we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.  

When we read the Annual Report to Shareholders, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement 
therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is 
corrected.  If it is not corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the 
attention of users for whom our report is prepared. 

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report  

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

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

LiveTiles Annual Report 2021Independent Auditor’s Report 
 
 
 
 
107

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report  

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an 
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material 
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at: 
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf 

This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report  

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report under the heading 
‘Remuneration Report’ for the year ended 30 June 2021.  

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of LiveTiles Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2021, 
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  Our responsibility
