Lovisa HoLdings Limited annuaL RepoRt - 3 JuLy 2016For personal use onlyChairman & Chief Executive’s
REPORT
Following the success of the 2015 Initial Public Offering, 
2016 has been a year of consolidation for Lovisa with the 
strengthening of the Board and Management and the 
continued expansion of the company’s global footprint. 

12

Lovisa HoLdings Limited annuaL RepoRt - 3 JuLy 2016For personal use onlyLovisa continues to generate strong cash flow with 
operating cash at $23.3m after tax. Capital expenditure 
totalled $9.3m for the year and relates predominantly to 
new store openings and refurbishments of current stores 
upon lease renewal to Lovisa’s new concept fit out. The 
final payment for the South African acquisition in 2015 of 
$250k was made during the year. Net debt reduced by 
$2.4m to $7.3m at year end. 

international store expansion

During the year the company increased its store network 
to 250 stores. The company’s international expansion 
continued with store openings in South Africa, Singapore, 
Malaysia, New Zealand and the UK. The company’s 
flagship store at Chadstone reopened in June 2016 
following a relocation during the year.  

A total of 43 new stores opened or were relocated during 
the year with the expected closures associated with the 
South African and previous Australian and NZ acquisitions 
driving the net increase of 11.

overview

We are pleased to report that Lovisa Holdings Limited has 
delivered a solid result for the year ended 3 July 2016. 
The company reported a net profit after tax of $16.6m 
and a gross margin of 74%. This result was driven by a 
combination of strong sales growth and increased gross 
profit underpinned by our ongoing focus on customer 
service despite significant currency headwinds. 

While the result reflects a reduction on the prior year, 
the underlying business performance remains strong 
and demonstrates the strength of the Lovisa brand and 
integrated model. We estimate that after adjusting for the 
devaluation of the Australian dollar on stock purchases 
gross profit would have increased by 15.2% and gross 
margin would have lifted by 8bps on the prior year. 

We continued to expand and optimise our store network to 
drive growth and performance with 43 (gross) new stores 
opened in the Fy16 and a portfolio of 250 stores at year 
end. Importantly, our UK pilot has proven successful to 
date and the Board has resolved to proceed with the roll 
out strategy.

financials

The company reported a statutory net profit after tax 
of $16.6m following continued strong same store sales 
growth and the addition of a further 11 stores across the 
globe, offset by currency headwinds associated with the 
Australian dollar and the South African rand. This result 
reflects a decrease of 6% on the company’s 2015 proforma 
net profit after taking into account the exceptional items 
related to the company’s IPO in 2015.

Lovisa achieved revenue of $153.5m, up 14.3% on FY15 
with strong same store sale growth of 5.5%. International 
sales now make up 36% of the Group’s revenue with 
franchise income increasing 40% to $848k. Trading in the 
June quarter was particularly strong as we saw the benefit 
of retail price increases during the year. Sales in South 
Africa lifted 71% in the year following the 2015 acquisition 
with additional stores offsetting planned closures. New 
Zealand sales lifted 30% following the refurbishment of a 
number of its stores along with a further 4 stores opening 
during the year.

Gross profit increased by $10.1m to $113.6m despite a 
significant devaluation of the Australian dollar and South 
African rand. We have estimated that on a constant 
currency basis from the prior year, gross profit would have 
increased by 15.2% to $119.3m and gross margins would 
have increased to 77.7%. 

The Cost of Doing Business (CODB) remained consistent at 
54% despite a conscious decision to increase both Board 
and Management bench strength along with additional 
investment in our international footprint. Distribution costs 
increased in line with overseas expansion. The result 
includes a $1.1m foreign exchange loss predominantly 
from the depreciating South African rand on the company’s 
working capital. 

Earnings before interest and tax were $24.2m with 
financing costs marginally up on the prior year following a 
full twelve months of financing facilities in place.

Earnings per share was 15.8 cents per share compared to 
FY15 proforma earnings of 16.8 cents per share.

The balance sheet continues to be healthy with low 
operating leverage reflected in our solid fixed charge cover 
of 2.18 times and gross leverage of 0.52.  Disciplined 
inventory management in the second half has seen 
inventory levels consistent with the prior year despite store 
growth and currency headwinds.

Lovisa HoLdings Limited annuaL RepoRt - 3 JuLy 2016For personal use onlyuk pilot program

In November 2015 Lovisa embarked on a pilot program to 
determine the feasibility of the UK market. The outcome of the 
pilot program was that stores have traded within the KPI’s set 
at the outset of the pilot program. Following this successful 
pilot program the Board resolved to proceed with the rollout 
with additional stores expected to be trading by Christmas.

We will continue to take a disciplined and patient approach 
to expanding in the UK market, being particularly careful 
to ensure we secure good sites at the right rental rates. 
We consider the UK market a significant growth market for 
Lovisa and stepping stone for further Northern Hemisphere 
expansion.

board and management changes

During the year the company announced a number of 
Board and Management changes reflecting the company’s 
intention to increase its capability to facilitate its global 
expansion. Michael Kay joined the Board in April as 
Chairman. Michael, a qualified lawyer brings a wealth 
of commercial experience most recently as CEO and 
managing Director of ASX listed macmillan Shakespeare 
and previously as CEO of national insurer AAMI.

Paul Cave stepped down as Chairman upon Michael’s 
appointment. Paul agreed to serve as Interim Chairman 
following the sudden unexpected death of David Carter on 
the 28th January 2015 and the Board would like to take 
this opportunity to thank Paul for his valuable contribution 
to the Board and Company as Chairman.

In addition to Michael, James King joined the Board in May 
and will service as Audit, Business Risk and Compliance 
Committee Chairman. James also brings a wealth of 
experience serving most recently on the boards of JB Hi Fi 
and Pacific Brands and with Fosters Group as Managing 
Director of Carlton & United Breweries and Managing 
Director, Fosters Asia. 

Graeme Fallet joined the company in April as Chief 
Financial Officer and Company Secretary following 
the resignation of Iain Sadler. Steven Doyle joined the 
company as Global General Manager in November 2015 
and Armando Pedruco joined as Global Sales Manager in 
December 2015.

These appointments strengthen our capabilities and 
position the company well in anticipation of strong offshore 
growth over the coming years.

Lovisa HoLdings Limited annuaL RepoRt - 3 JuLy 2016For personal use onlydividends

The Directors declared a final dividend of 2.0 cents per 
share fully franked for the year ended 3 July 2016. While 
this equates to a reduction in the payout ratio from the 
prior year the Directors have considered the expected 
investment in international store growth in the coming 
years and consider it prudent to ensure the company 
can fund its medium term growth objectives whilst not 
materially increasing its operating leverage.

The final dividend will be paid on 27th October 2016.

outlook

It has been a positive start to the year and in July we 
opened our first Vietnam franchise store with early sales 
encouraging. We expect FY17 to be a year of further 
growth for Lovisa as we continue to open new stores in all 
current markets and are targeting to open between 20 to 
30 stores during the year. 

Lovisa are a dedicated and determined fast fashion 
jewellery retailer with deep specialist expertise. Coupled 
with the additional board and management capability and 
based on the strength of our integrated model, we have a 
solid platform for further growth and a confident outlook.

For the year ended 3 July 2016 the Company reported a net profit after tax of $16.5 million following continued strong same 
store sales growth of 5.5% and the addition of a further 43 stores across the globe offset by higher cost of sales due to the 
weakening Australia dollar and a higher level of markdowns. 

This result reflects a decrease of 6% on the Company’s 2015 Proforma net profit after taking into account the reversal of the 
put option and other costs associated with the IPO. 

During the year the Company suffered headwinds associated with the decreasing Australian dollar and the devaluation of the 
South African Rand.

The Company’s Cost of Doing Business was consistent 
with the prior year and is predominantly from the opening 
of new stores, additional investment in the Lovisa global 
rollout working capital and foreign currency losses 
associated with repatriating cash from its offshore 
businesses. 

During the year Lovisia significantly increased its 
investment in its offshore rollout and management capacity 
to facilitate its global expansion. The Board considers it 
imperative that Lovisa resources itself in anticipation of 
strong offshore growth during the next three years. 

Distribution costs increased in line with the offshore 
expansion as stock was managed through the Company’s 
Hong Kong Distribution Centre and shipped to South 
Africa, United Kingdom, Singapore and Malaysia. 

Other costs increased predominantly from foreign 
exchange losses associated with the devaluation of the 
South African Rand.

4.1.5 Earnings

Earnings before interest and tax was $24.2m being a 
decrease of 2.4% on underlying EBIT from the prior year 
after excluding one-off items associated with the IPO.

Financing costs associated with the Company’s debt 
facilities increased due to debt facilities only being in place 
for the post IPO period in FY15.

Net Profit after Tax after adjusting for one off items 
associated with the IPO decreased by 6% to $16.5m.

4.1.6 Cash Flow

The Company’s operating cash flow improved during the 
year with $23.3m generated from operations after tax and 
financing payments. Capital expenditure of $9.3m relates 
predominantly to new store openings and refurbishments 
of current stores upon lease renewal. The final payment 
for the South African acquisition in 2015 of $250,000 was 
made during the year.

expansion continues with a UK pilot program of 3 stores at

The Company’s Gross profit increased by 9.8% to $113.6m 
against a back drop of a significant weakening of the 
Australian dollar affecting the Company’s stock purchases. 
the decrease in the Australian dollar resulted in the 
Company’s Gross Margin reducing to 74%. 

 4.1.3 Change in value of put option liability

In previous years the Company made provision for the buy-
back of shares from Centerville Pty Ltd, a private vehicle 
owned by the CEO. As a result of the IPO, the provision was 
reversed in FY2015.

The Company’s working capital continues to be a focus with inventory levels managed at prior year levels despite the cost of 
goods increasing due to currency changes and the increase of a net 11 stores after closures. Working capital includes both 
security deposits for landlords and cash reserved for Bank Guarantees issued to landlords. 

Property, plant and equipment

Capital expenditure during the year largely reflects fit-out costs associated with new stores and fixed asset renewal costs for 
existing stores reaching the end of their lease term. Fit-out costs are depreciated over the lifetime of the store lease.

Lovisa has achieved rapid growth since it was founded, with revenue growing from $25.5 million in FY2011 to $153.5 million in 
FY2016, representing a compound annual growth rate of 43.2%. This historical growth has been driven by Lovisa’s swift store 
roll out. The Group continues to focus on its key drivers to deliver growth in sales and profit growth.

5.1 Lead and Pre-Empt Trends

Product innovation is a core component of Lovisa’s competitive advantage. Its customers expect a broad range of fashionable 
products that are in line with the latest global fashion trends. In order to meet this expectation, Lovisa employs a product team 
of more than 20 people who are responsible for Lovisa’s forward range planning, designs, product development, production, 
visual merchandising and merchandise planning, ensuring Lovisa is continually meeting market demand. Whilst product teams 
are based in Melbourne and London, its team members travel the world to identify global trends. In addition, its product teams 
meet with suppliers in China, India, Thailand and other parts of Asia frequently.

As Lovisa is frequently developing new products in response to evolving fashion trends, it does not register patents on its 
product designs. This is consistent with practices in the fast fashion industry.

Lovisa HoLdings Limited annuaL RepoRt - 3 JuLy 2016For personal use only5.2 New Store Rollouts & International Expansion

One of the key attributes of the Group’s success has been the ability to identify and secure quality retail store sites in locations 
with high pedestrian traffic. This typically involves securing leases in AA, A or B grade rating shopping centres and malls. 
Lovisa has refined its global store model based on what it understands to be the optimal store size, location and format. The 
combination of a 50 square metre floor space and a homogenised layout allows Lovisa to have strict criteria when identifying 
and securing potential store sites in new regions, facilitating the roll-out of stores quickly, at low cost. On average, it takes 
approximately 14 days to fit out a new Lovisa store.

The key driver of future growth for Lovisa is the continued international store roll-out. Lovisa has proven it is capable of 
successfully operating profitably in international territories, having established its initial portfolio of company owned stores in 
Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and South Africa and supporting franchised stores in Kuwait, the United Arab 
Emirates, Oman and Saudi Arabia. During the year, Lovisa commenced a pilot program in the UK with the Board approving the 
continued rollout of the UK market on 22 August 2016. 

The Group plans to remain nimble and opportunistic in expanding and moving into new markets, such that if opportunities 
arise, the Group may accelerate its plans to enter a new market or continue to grow an existing market. Likewise it will defer its 
entry into a new market if it considers that appropriate opportunities aren’t presented at the relevant time.

Lovisa’s objective is to fully maximise its footprint in its current territories within the medium term (1-2 years) and target to 
achieve 20 - 30 new stores per annum.

5.3 Streamline Global Supply Chain

Lovisa’s third party suppliers are currently located in mainland China, India and Thailand. Stock is inspected by Lovisa’s quality 
control team in China. Once manufactured, stock is transported to Lovisa’s leased warehouse in Melbourne, Australia (for 
stock to be sold in Australian and New Zealand stores) or its third party operated warehouse in Hong Kong (for stock to be 
sold in all other countries). There is sufficient capacity in Lovisa’s third party operated Hong Kong warehouse to handle further 
international growth.

Lovisa constantly reviews its supply chain process for potential efficiency gains and cost reductions in order to generate 
higher gross margins. This includes improvements in its global warehouse and logistics program and the consolidation and 
rationalisation of its supplier base. 

5.4 Enhance Existing Store Performance

Lovisa’s store roll-out in Australia is largely complete with 144 stores in operation as at 3 July 2016. Subject to the availability 
of attractive sites, Lovisa will still seek to open a small number of new stores per year in Australia for the foreseeable future. 
This growth is expected to be supplemented by store optimisation and improvement initiatives.

Lovisa believes it will be able to enhance profitability through improvements to its store portfolio and operations. This includes 
the closure of 11 company owned stores in sub-optimal locations in Australia during FY2017 while the rationalisation of stores 
associated with the April 2015 DCK South Africa acquisition is now complete. 

5.5 Brand Proliferation

Lovisa supports the growth in its brand through social media and promotional activity that matches our customer base, and 
our International footprint.  Efforts are focussed on social media, rather than traditional media, as we believe it connects us 
directly to our customers in a way that suits their lifestyle.

The brand is also developed through the customer in-store experience – on trend product, cleanly merchandised, focussed 
imagery, and the store “look and feel”.  Stores are located in high foot traffic areas, in high performing centres.

DIReCtORS’ RepORt

Lovisa HoLdings Limited annuaL RepoRt - 3 JuLy 2016For personal use only6. material business risks

6.1 Business Risks

The business risks faced by the Group and how it 
manages these risks are set out below. Further information 
surrounding how the Group monitors, assesses, manages 
and responds to risks identified is included within Principle 
7 of the Company’s Corporate Governance statement.

6.2 Competition

The fast fashion jewellery sector in which Lovisa operates is 
highly competitive. While the costs and time that would be 
required to replicate Lovisa’s business model, design team, 
IT systems, store network, warehouse facilities and level 
of brand recognition would be substantial, the industry as 
a whole has relatively low barriers to entry. The industry is 
also subject to ever changing customer preferences.

Lovisa’s current competitors include:
•  specialty retailers selling predominately fashion 

jewellery;

•  department stores;
•  fashion apparel retailers with a fashion jewellery section; 

and

•  smaller retailers (i.e. less than five stores) that specialise 

in the affordable jewellery segment.

Competition is based on a variety of factors including 
merchandise selection, price, advertising, new stores, 
store location, store appearance, product presentation and 
customer service.

Lovisa’s competitive position may deteriorate as a result of 
factors including actions by existing competitors, the entry 
of new competitors (such as international retailers or online 
retailers) or a failure by Lovisa to successfully respond to 
changes in the industry.

To mitigate this risk, Lovisa employs a product team 
of more than 20 people to meet market demands as 
described in section 5.1. Management believe it would 
take a number of years for a new entrant to establish a 
portfolio of leases comparable with Lovisa in premium store 
locations with substantial barrier to entry costs as detailed 
above.

6.3 Retail Environment and General Economic 
Conditions

As Lovisa’s products are typically viewed by consumers 
to be ‘discretionary’ items rather than ‘necessities’, 
Lovisa’s financial performance is sensitive to the current 
state of, and future changes in, the retail environment 
in the countries in which it operates. However, with an 
average retail spend of $20 per transaction, macro market 
performance has minimal impact for Lovisa.

Lovisa’s main strategy to overcome any downturn in the 
retail environment or economic conditions is to continue 
to offer our customers quality, affordable and ontrend 
products.

6.4 Failure to Successfully Implement Growth Strategies

Lovisa’s growth strategy is based on its ability to increase 
earnings contributions from existing stores and continue 
to open and operate new stores on a timely and profitable 
basis. This includes the opening of new stores in both 
Australia and overseas. 

Lovisa’s store roll-out program is dependent on securing 
stores in suitable locations on acceptable terms, and may 
be impacted by factors including delays, cost overruns and 
disputes with landlords.

The following risks apply to the roll out program:

•  new stores opened by Lovisa may be unprofitable;
•  Lovisa may be unable to source new stores in preferred 
areas, and this could reduce Lovisa’s ability to continue 
to expand its store footprint;

•  new stores may reduce revenues of existing stores; and
•  establishment costs may be greater than budgeted for.

Factors mitigating these risks are that fit-out costs are low 
with minimal standard deviation in set-up costs across 
sites and territories through our small store format and 
homogenous store layout, minimising potential downside 
for new stores. The Group assesses store performance 
regularly and evaluates store proximity and likely impact on 
other Lovisa stores as part of its roll-out planning.

When entering new markets, Lovisa assesses the region, 
which involves building knowledge by leveraging a local 
network of industry contacts, and aims to secure a portfolio 
of stores in order to launch an operating footprint upon 
entry. The Group plans to remain nimble and opportunistic 
in expanding and moving into new markets, such that if 
opportunities arise, the Group may accelerate its plans 
to enter a new market or continue to grow an existing 
market. Likewise it will defer its entry into a new market if it 
considers that appropriate opportunities aren’t presented 
at the relevant time. Regular investigation and evaluation 
of new stores and territories is undertaken by management 
to ensure that the group’s store footprint continues to 
expand.

6.5 Exchange Rates

The majority of inventory purchases that are imported by 
Lovisa are priced in USD. Consequently, Lovisa is exposed 
to movements in the exchange rate in the markets it 
operates in. Adverse movements could have an adverse 
impact on Lovisa’s gross profit margin.

The Group’s foreign exchange policy is aimed at managing 
its foreign currency exposure in order to protect profit 
margins by entering into forward exchange contracts 
specifically against movements in the USD rate against 
the AUD. The Group does not currently hedge its foreign 
currency earnings. The Group monitors its working capital 
in its foreign subsidiaries to ensure exposure to movements  
in currency is limited.

6.6 Prevailing Fashions and Consumer Preferences May 
Change

Lovisa’s revenues are entirely generated from the retailing 
of jewellery, which is subject to changes in prevailing 
fashions and consumer preferences. Failure by Lovisa to 
predict or respond to such changes could adversely impact 
the future financial performance of Lovisa. In addition, any 
failure by Lovisa to correctly judge customer preferences, 
or to convert market trends into appealing product offerings 
on a timely basis, may result in lower revenue and margins. 
In addition, any unexpected change in prevailing fashions 
or customer preferences may lead to Lovisa carrying 
increased obsolete inventory.

To mitigate this risk, Lovisa employs a product team 
of more than 20 people to meet market demands as 
described in section 5.1. As the Group responds to trends 
as they occur, this drives store visits by customers and 
significantly reduces the risk of obsolete stock.

9. Remuneration Report

9.1 Remuneration Overview

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

the Board has appointed the Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee whose objective is to assist the 
Board in relation to the Group remuneration strategy, 
policies and actions. In performing this responsibility, the 
Committee must give appropriate consideration to the 
Company’s performance and objectives, employment 
conditions and external remuneration relativities. 

Further information surrounding the responsibilities of the 
Remuneration and Nomination Committee is included 
within Principle 8 of the Company’s Corporate Governance 
statement.

This report has been audited by the Company’s Auditor 
KPMG as required by Section 308 (3C) of the Corporation 
Act 2001.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is governed 
by its Charter which was developed in line with ASX 
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. 
The Charter specifies the purpose, authority, membership 
and the activities of the Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee and the Charter is annually reviewed by the 
Committee to ensure it remains consistent with regulatory 
requirements. 

A. Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount 
of Remuneration

(a) Non-Executive Directors KMP Remuneration

Non-executive Directors’ fees are determined within an 
aggregate Non-executive Director’s pool limit of $600,000. 
Total Non-executive Directors remuneration including 
non-monetary benefits and superannuation paid at the 
statutory prescribed rate for the year ended 3 July 2016 
was $280,047.

Michael Kay, the Non-executive Chairman, is entitled 
to receive annual fees of $150,000, which is inclusive 
of superannuation.  Other Non-executive Directors are 
entitled to receive annual fees of $80,000 inclusive of 
superannuation. 

The Non-executive Directors fees are reviewed annually 
to ensure that the fees reflect market rates.  There are no 
guaranteed annual increases in any Directors’ fees.  None 
of the non-executive Directors participate in the short or 
long term incentives. 

(b) Executive remuneration

 Lovisa’s remuneration strategy is to;

Short Term Incentive plan

The Company operates a short-term incentive (STI) plan 
that rewards some Executives and Management on the 
achievement of pre-determined key performance indicators 
(KPIs) established for each financial year according to 
the accountabilities of his/her role and its impact on the 
organisation’s performance.  KPIs include company profit 
targets and personal performance criteria.  Using a profit 
target ensures variable reward is paid only when value is 
created for shareholders. No STI was payable for the 2016 
year as the Company’s profit target was not met.

Long Term Incentive plan

The Company operates a long term incentive plan scheme.  
the plan is designed to align the interests of the employees 
with the interest of the shareholders by providing an 
opportunity for the employees to receive an equity interest 
in Lovisa.  The plan provides flexibility for the Company to 
grant performance rights and options as incentives, subject 
to the terms of the individual offers and the satisfaction of 
performance conditions determined by the Board from time 
to time.

The key terms associated with the Long Term Incentive 
plan are;

• 

• 

A performance Option entitles the holder to acquire a 
share upon payment of an applicable exercise price at 
the end of the performance period, subject to meeting 
specific performance conditions.

A performance Right entitles the holder to acquire 
a share for nil consideration at the end of the 
performance period, subject to meeting specific 
performance conditions.

•  Options and Performance Rights will be granted for nil 

consideration.

•  Offer a remuneration structure that will attract, focus, 

retain and reward highly capable people

•  No exercise price is payable in respect of the 

Performance Rights.

•  Have a clear and transparent link between 

performance and remuneration

•  Build employee engagement and align management 
and shareholder interest through ownership of 
Company shares

• 

Ensure executive remuneration is set with regard to the 
size and nature of the position with reference to market 
benchmarks and the performance of the individual.

Remuneration will incorporate at risk elements to;

• 

• 

Link executive reward with the achievement of Lovisa’s 
business objectives and financial performance

Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market 
standards.

B. Remuneration Structure

The current executive salary and reward framework 
consists of the following components;

1.  Base salary and benefits including superannuation

2.  Short term incentive scheme comprising cash 

3.  Long term incentive scheme comprising options and 

performance rights

Base Salary and Benefits

Base pay is structured as a total employment cost package 
which may be delivered as a combination of cash and 
non-cash benefits.  Retirement benefits are delivered to the 
employee’s choice of Superannuation fund.  The company 
has no interest or ongoing liability to the fund or the 
employee in respect of retirement benefits.

9.6 Consequences of Performance on Shareholder 
Wealth

In considering the consolidated entity’s performance and 
the benefits for shareholder wealth, the Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee has regard to a range of indicators 
in respect of senior executive remuneration and linked 
these to the previously described short and long term 
incentives.

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

Fy

10. Insurance of officers and 
indemnities

During the financial year, Lovisa Holdings Limited paid a 
premium of $37,000 (2015: $35,000) to insure the Directors 
and officers of the Group.

The liabilities insured are costs and expenses that may 
be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that 
may be brought against the officers in their capacity as 
officers of the Group, and any other payments arising from 
liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such 
proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of 
conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers 
or the improper use by the officers of their position or of 
information to gain advantage for themselves or someone 
else or to cause detriment to the Group.

11. Audit services

11.1 Auditors Independence Declaration

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as 
required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 
is set out on page 77 and forms part of this Directors’ 
Report.

11.2 Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided by the 
External Auditor

During the financial year ended 3 July 2016, the 
following fees were paid or were due and payable for 
services provided by the external auditor, KPMG, of the

the group may decide to employ the auditor on 
assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where 
the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Group are 
important.

The Board of Directors has considered the position and, in 
accordance with advice received from the Audit, Business 
Risk and Compliance Committee, is satisfied that the 
provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the 
general standard of independence for auditors imposed by 
the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are satisfied that 
the provision of non-audit services by the auditor did not 
compromise the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
•  all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Audit, 
Business Risk and Compliance Committee to ensure 
they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the 
auditor; and

•  none of the services undermine the general principles 

relating to auditor independence as set out in ApeS 110 
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.

12. Proceedings on behalf of 
company

No person has applied to the Court under section 
237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring 
proceedings on behalf of the company, or to 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 part of those proceedings.

No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on 
behalf of the Company with leave of the Court under 
section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.

13. Environmental Regulation

The Company’s operations are not subject to any 
significant environmental regulations under either 
Commonwealth or State legislation. However, the Directors 
believe that the Company has adequate systems in place 
for the management of its environmental requirements 
and is not aware of any breach of these environmental 
requirements as they apply to the entity.

14. Rounding of amounts

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

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors

Basis of consolidation

Business combinations

Lovisa Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is a for-profit 
company incorporated and domiciled in Australia with its 
registered office at 41-45 Camberwell Road, Hawthorn 
East, Victoria 3123. The consolidated financial statements 
comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively 
the “Group” and individually the “Group companies”). 
The Group is primarily involved in the retail sale of fashion 
jewellery and accessories.

Lovisa Holdings Limited reports within a retail financial 
period. The current financial year represents a 53 week 
period ended on the 3 July 2016 (2015: 52 week period 
ended 28 June 2015). This treatment is consistent with 
section 323D of Corporations Act 2001.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the 
financial year ended 3 July 2016 were authorised for issue 
by the Board of Directors on 22 August 2016.  

Basis of accounting

The consolidated financial statements and supporting 
notes form a general purpose financial report. It:
•  Has been prepared in accordance with the requirements 
of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting 
Standards (AASBs) including Australian Accounting 
Interpretations, adopted by the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial 
reporting Standards (IFRS) and Interpretations as issued 
by the International Accounting Standards Board;

•  Has been prepared on a historical cost basis except for 
derivative financial instruments which are measured at 
fair value. Non-current assets are stated at the lower of 
carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell;
•  Presents reclassified comparative information where 

required for consistency with the current year’s 
presentation;

•  Adopts all new and amended Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to 
the operations of the Group and effective for reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015.  Refer to note 
D9 for further details; and

•  Does not early adopt any Accounting Standards and 

Interpretations that have been issued or amended but 
are not yet effective except as disclosed in note D10.

Use of judgements and estimates

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, 
management has made a number of judgements, estimates 
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting 
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, 
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these 
estimates. Judgements and estimates which are material to 
the financial statements are outlined below:

Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation 
uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a 
material adjustment within the financial year ended 3 July 
2016 are included in the following notes:
•  Note A6 – recognition of deferred tax assets: availability 
of future taxable profit against which carry forward tax 
losses can be used;

•  Note B5 – impairment test: key assumptions underlying 
recoverable amounts, including the recoverability of 
goodwill; and

•  Notes B7 and D3 – recognition and measurement of 

provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about 
the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources.

The Group accounts for business combinations using the 
acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. 
the consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally 
measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets 
acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for 
impairment (see note B5). Any gain on a bargain purchase is 
recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs 
are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of 
debt or equity securities (see note C1).

the consideration transferred does not include amounts 
related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such 
amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair 
value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration 
is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and 
settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, 
subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent 
consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

Acquisition of entities under common control

Lovisa Holdings Limited was incorporated on 6 November 
2014. On 18 December 2014, as part of a reorganisation 
of the corporate structure of the Group, Lovisa Holdings 
Limited became the new holding company and parent 
company of the Group. As part of this restructure, Lovisa 
Pty Limited and Lovisa International Pte. Limited became 
subsidiaries of Lovisa Holdings Limited.

The acquisition of Lovisa Pty Limited and Lovisa 
International Pte. Limited by Lovisa Holdings Limited falls 
outside the scope of IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’ 
as a common control transaction. There was no change 
in control of the group as a result of the internal 
reorganisation. In order to reflect the economic substance 
of the transaction, the consolidated financial statements 
of Lovisa Holdings Limited have been presented as a 
continuation of business with the pre-existing accounting 
book values of assets and liabilities of Lovisa Pty Limited 
and Lovisa International Pte. Limited as at 18 December 
2014. 

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has 
control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 
is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its 
investment with the entity and has the ability to affect those 
returns through its power to direct activities of the entity.

The financial results of subsidiaries are included in the 
consolidated financial information from the date that 
control commences until the date that control ceases.  
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed 
when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by 
the Group.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised 
income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, 
are eliminated. 

Foreign currency

Functional and presentation currency

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

the Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations 
(Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 
2016/191 and in accordance with that instrument all 
financial information presented in Australian dollars has 
been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise 
stated.

Translation of foreign currency transactions

transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the 
respective functional currencies of Lovisa at the exchange 
rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and 
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting 
date are retranslated to the functional currency at the 
exchange rate at that date. 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign 
currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated 
to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date 
that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in 
a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical 
cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of 
the transaction.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are 
recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are 
translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the 
end of the reporting period. The income and expenses of 
foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at 
exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Goodwill 
and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a 
foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the 
foreign operation and are translated at the exchange rates 
at the end of the reporting period. 

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other 
comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign 
currency translation reserve in equity. When a foreign 
currency operation is disposed of, the cumulative amount 
in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is 
transferred to profit or loss on disposal of the entity.

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from 
or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor 
likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange 
gains and losses arising from such a monetary item that 
are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign 
operation are recognised in other comprehensive income, 
and are presented in the translation reserve in equity.

About the Notes to the financial statements

The notes include information which is required to 
understand the financial statements and is material 
and relevant to the operations, financial position and 
performance of the Group. Information is considered 
material and relevant if, for example:
•  The amount with respect to the information is significant 

because of its size or nature;

• 

• 

results of the group;
It helps to explain the impact of significant changes in 
the Group’s business; or
It relates to an aspect of the group’s operations that is 
important to its future performance.

Subsequent events

There are no matters or circumstances that have arisen 
since the end of the financial year which significantly 
affected or may significantly affect the operations of the 
Group, the result of those operations, or the state of affairs 
of the Group in future financial years.

A1 Operating segments

(a) Basis for segmentation

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) for Lovisa Holdings Limited and its controlled entities, is the Managing Director 
(MD). The Group has the following strategic divisions, which are its reportable segments.  These divisions offer similar products 
and services, but are managed separately due to the allocation of management resources between these regional areas and 
assessed separately based on information provided to the MD and the Group’s management team. Internal sales reports of 
each segment are reviewed on a daily basis to monitor and evaluate segmental performance. 

The following summary describes the operations of each reportable segment.

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery 
of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no 
continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue is 
measured net of returns and trade discounts. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is 
recognised:

Sale of Goods

Revenue from the sale of fashion jewellery is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been 
transferred to the buyer.

Franchise income

Franchise income, which is generally earned based upon a percentage of sales is recognised on an accrual basis.

Reversal of/(provision for) buy-back of company shares

In previous years the Group made provision for the buy-back of shares from Centerville Pty Ltd, a private vehicle owned by the 
CEO. As a result of the IPO, and in accordance with the prospectus disclosures, the provision was reversed in FY2015.

A4 Earnings per share (EPS)

Calculation methodology

The calculation of basic earnings per share has been based on the following profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and 
weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share has been based on the following profit attributable to ordinary shareholders 
and weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary 
shares.

Options and performance rights granted to employees under the Lovisa Holdings Long Term Incentive Plan are considered to 
be potential ordinary shares. They have been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share if the required hurdles 
would have been met based on the company’s performance up to the reporting date, and to the extent to which they are 
dilutive. The options and performance rights have not been included in the determination of basic earnings per share. Details 
relating to the options are set out in note D4.

A6 Income taxes

Recognition and measurement

Income tax on the profit or loss for the years presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in 
the statement of profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is 
recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at 
the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following 
differences are not provided for: reversal of buy back of company shares, goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial 
recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in 
subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided 
is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates 
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which 
the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit 
will be realised.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the 
related dividend is recognised.

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

Assets acquired

Valuation technique

Property, plant and 
equipment

Items have been written-down to their net recoverable value based on whether the fixed assets would 
continue to be utilised by the business or replaced. Remaining asset values have been assessed by 
the Company to ensure valuation is in line with the expected benefits to accrue to the business over 
the remaining useful lives of the assets.

Deferred tax assets

Revised - Deferred tax assets of $984,000 have not been recorded on the basis the utilisation of 
carried forward tax losses is not expected to be fully realised in the immediate course of business due 
to the isolation of tax losses within the legal entity in accordance with provisional fair value acquisition 
accounting principles.

Inventories

The fair value was determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business.

All trade and other receivable balances were valued at cost and are fully recoverable. 

(c) Goodwill 

Goodwill arising from the acquisition has been recognised as follows:

effective interest method, less impairment losses.

Recoverability of receivables is assessed monthly to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such 
indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the 
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. 

The recoverable amount of the Group’s receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated 
future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition 
of these financial assets). Significant receivables are individually assessed for impairment. Receivables with a short duration 
are not discounted.

Information about the Group’s exposure to credit and market risks, and impairment losses for trade and other receivables is 
disclosed in Note C4.

B2 Inventories

Recognition and measurement

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the 
ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Cost includes the product purchase 
cost, import freight and duties together with other costs incurred in bringing inventory to its present location and condition 
using the weighted average cost method. All stock on hand relates to finished goods.

Costs of goods sold comprises purchase price from the supplier, cost of shipping product from supplier to warehouse, 
shrinkage and obsolescence. Warehouse and outbound freight costs are reported as distribution expenses. Inventories 
recognised as expenses during 2016 and included in cost of sales amount to $34,564,000 (2015: $26,764,000).

During 2016 inventories of $4,801,000 (2015: $3,854,000) were written down to net realisable value and included in cost of 
sales.

B3 Property, plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Owned Assets
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditures that are 
directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. The cost of acquired assets includes estimates of the costs of dismantling 
and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located where it is probable that such costs will be incurred.

Subsequent costs
The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an 
item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the entity 
and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the profit or loss as an expense as incurred.

Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life on all property, plant and 
equipment. Land is not depreciated.

The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are re-assessed at least annually.

Derecognition
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected 
from its use. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing disposal proceeds with the carrying amount of the 
disposed asset and are recognised in the profit or loss in the year the disposal occurs.

B5 Impairment of Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets and goodwill

Recognition and measurement 

Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets and goodwill, are reviewed at 
each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s 
recoverable amount is estimated in line with the calculation methodology listed below.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable 
amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent 
from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect 
of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to 
reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate 
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Impairment test  

Impairment	testing	for	CGUs	containing	goodwill

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s CGUs identified by country.

The recoverable amount of each CGU was based on its value in use, determined by discounting the future cash flows to be 
generated from the continuing use of the CGU.

Key assumptions used in the calculation of value in use were as follows:

In Percent

Discount rate

Budgeted EBITDA growth rate (average of next five years)

2016

12.7%

5.0%

2015

12.7%

5.0%

The discount rate was a pre-tax measure based on the rate of 10-year government bonds issued by the government in the 
relevant market and in the same currency as the cash flows, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect both the increased risk of 
investing in equities generally and the systemic risk of the specific CGU. 

Five years of cash flows were included in the discounted cash flow model with a long-term growth rate into perpetuity 
determined as the lower of the nominal GDP rates for the countries in which the CGU operates and the long-term compound 
annual EBITDA growth rate estimated by management. 

Budgeted EBITDA was based on expectations of future outcomes taking into account past experience, adjusted for the 
anticipated revenue growth with FY17 balances based on budgeted results. Beyond this period, revenue growth was projected 
taking into account the growth levels experienced over the past five years and the estimated sales volume and price growth for 
the next five years. 

If no growth was budgeted to occur no impairment would result.

B5 Impairment of Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets and goodwiLl (continued)

Reversals of impairment

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in previous 
years are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment 
loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. 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, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

There were no material reversals of impairment in the current or prior year. 

B6 Trade and other payables

Recognition and measurement

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at their amortised cost.

Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an 
expense on an accrual basis.

Trade payables are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

B7 Provisions

Recognition and measurement

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be 
estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions 
are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the 
time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.  The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

A provision for dividends is not recognised as a liability unless the dividends are declared, determined or publicly 
recommended on or before the reporting date.

B7 Provisions (CONTINUED)

Recognition and measurement (continued)

(a) Site restoration

Description

In accordance with the Group’s legal requirements, a provision for site restoration in respect of 
make good of leased premises is recognised when the premises are occupied.

The provision is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle 
the restoration obligation at the reporting date, based on current legal requirements and 
technology. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes are reflected in the 
present value of the restoration provision at the end of the reporting period.

The amount of the provision for future restoration costs is capitalised and is depreciated in 
accordance with the policy set out above. The unwinding of the effect of discounting on the 
provision is recognised as a finance cost.

Key Estimates

Expenditure to settle the 
restoration obligation at 
the end of the lease term is 
based on the Company’s 
best estimate.

(b) Straight line rent and lease incentive  

Description

Lease payments are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The lease incentive liability in relation to non-cancellable operating leases are offset against lease 
rental expense on a straight line basis over the lease term (generally three to five years).

Key Estimates

No major estimation 
required in the 
calculation of these 
provisions.

c) Onerous leases

Description

Onerous leases arise when the cost of exiting an existing lease is greater than the loss on the 
sub-lease arrangement. In these circumstances, the best estimate is made of the expenditure 
required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period with a provision 
made based on the least net cost alternative of exiting the lease. Provisions are based on the 
excess of the cash flows for the unavoidable costs in meeting the obligations under the lease 
over the unrecognised estimated future economic benefits from the lease.

Where the Group has agreed to exit an existing lease early, these balances have been accrued 
for at year-end.

Key Estimates

•  Sub-lease party to 

undertake rental in line 
with agreements

•  Expenditure to settle 

the lease at the end of 
the lease term is based 
on the Company’s best 
estimate

B8 Employee benefits

Recognition and measurement

Long-term	service	benefits

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term service benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have 
earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using expected future increases 
in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates, and is discounted using high quality 
Australian corporate bond rates at the balance sheet date which have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Group’s 
obligations.

Short-Term	Benefits

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the 
reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date, are calculated 
at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at reporting date 
including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.

Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate 
entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined 
contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.  Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the 
extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets.

Share capital reallocated for statutory reporting purposes from being the share capital of Lovisa Pty Ltd and Lovisa 
International Pte Ltd in 2014 to being the share capital of Lovisa Holdings Limited, created as part of the internal reorganisation 
during the previous financial year. 

(i) Ordinary shares

The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares.  All issued shares are fully paid.  

The holders of these shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time, and are entitled to one vote per 
share at general meetings of the Company.  All rights attached to the Company’s shares held by the Group are suspended until 
those shares are reissued.

(b) Nature and purpose of reserves

(i) Common control reserve

The Group’s accounting policy is to use book value accounting for common control transactions. The book value used is the 
book value of the transferor of the investment. Book value accounting is applied on the basis that the entities are part of a 
larger economic group, and that the figures from the larger group are the relevant ones. In applying book value accounting, no 
entries are recognised in profit or loss; instead, the result of the transaction is recognised in equity as arising from a transaction 
with shareholders. 

The book value (carry-over basis) is accounting on the basis that the investment has simply been moved from one Group 
owner to a new Group Company. In applying book value accounting, an adjustment may be required in equity to reflect any 
difference between the consideration received and the aggregated capital of the transferee. The adjustment is reflected in the 
‘common control reserve’ capital account.

(ii) Translation reserve

The translation reserve reflects all foreign currency differences of the international entities upon translation to the Group’s 
functional currency.

(iii) Hedging Reserve

The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of hedging instruments used 
in cash flow hedges pending subsequent recognition in profit or loss as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss.

Cash	flow	hedges

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the 
derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of 
changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The amount accumulated in equity is retained in other comprehensive income and reclassified to profit or loss in the same 
period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss.

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the 
designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected 
to occur, then the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.

(iv) Share-based payments reserve

The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise:

• the grant date fair value of options issued to employees but not exercised 

• the grant date fair value of shares issued to employees 

• the grant date fair value of deferred shares granted to employees but not yet vested 

C2 Capital management

The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to 
sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns 
that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

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

C3 Loans and borrowings

Recognition and measurement

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

C4 Financial instruments – Fair values and risk management (CONTINUED)

(b) Financial risk management 

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
•  credit risk (see (b)(ii))
• 
liquidity risk (see (b)(iii))
•  market risk (see (b)(iv))

(i) Risk Management framework

The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk 
management framework. The Board of Directors has established the Audit, Business Risk and Compliance Committee, which 
is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group’s risk management policies. The Committee reports regularly to the 
Board of Directors on its activities.

The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate 
risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed to 
reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards 
and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their 
roles and obligations.

The Audit, Business Risk and Compliance Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk 
management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks 
faced by the Group.

The Committee’s specific function with respect to risk management is to review and report to the Board that:

a) the Group’s ongoing risk management program effectively identifies all areas of potential risk;

b) adequate policies and procedures have been designed and implemented to manage identified risks;

c) a regular program of audits is undertaken to test the adequacy of and compliance with prescribed policies; and

d) proper remedial action is undertaken to redress areas of weakness.

(ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and deposits placed for leased 
outlets.

The Group’s credit risk on its receivables is recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position at the carrying 
amount of those receivable assets, net of any provisions for doubtful debts. Receivable balances and deposit balances are 
monitored on a monthly basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not considered to be material.

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and derivatives with banks and financial institutions. For banks and 
financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted by Lovisa. 

At the reporting date, the carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for 
impairment losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. There were no significant concentrations of credit 
risk.

Past due but not impaired

As at 3 July 2016, no trade receivables were past due but not impaired (2015: nil). The other classes within trade and other 
receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. 

(iii)	Liquidity	risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities 
that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.  The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as 
possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, 
without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. Cash flow forecasts are updated and 
monitored weekly.

In addition, the Group maintains the following lines of credit:
•  $12 million revolving cash advance facility that is secured by security interests granted by Lovisa Pty Ltd over all of its 

assets and the assets of Lovisa New Zealand Pty Ltd and Lovisa Singapore Pte Ltd in favour of the Commonwealth Bank of 
Australia (CBA).

•  $6 million multi option overdraft facility that is secured by security interests granted by Lovisa Pty Ltd over all of its assets in 

favour of the CBA.

Exposure	to	liquidity	risk

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date.  The amounts are gross and 
undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.

The gross inflows/(outflows) disclosed in the above table represent the contractual undiscounted cash flows relating to 
derivative financial liabilities held for risk management purposes and which are usually not closed out before contractual 
maturity. The disclosure shows net cash flow amounts for derivatives that are net cash-settled and gross cash inflow and 
outflow amounts for derivatives that have simultaneous gross cash settlement.

As disclosed in Notes C3, the Group has a secured bank loan which contains a loan covenant. A future breach of covenant 
may require the Group to repay the loan earlier than indicated in the above table. The interest payments on bank overdrafts 
and secured bank loans in the table above reflect market forward interest rates at the reporting date and these amounts may 
change as market interest rates change. The future cash flows on trade payables may be different from the amount in the 
above table as exchange rates change. Except for these financial liabilities, it is not expected that the cash flows included in 
the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.

(b) Financial risk management (continued)

(iv) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices – will 
affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.  The objective of market risk management is to 
manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

The Group uses derivatives to manage market risks.  All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the 
Audit, Business Risk and Compliance Committee. The group also has begun to apply hedge accounting during the year in 
order to manage volatility in profit or loss.

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases 
and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Group companies.  The presentation currency of 
the Group companies is the Australian dollar (AUD) which is the functional currency of the majority of Lovisa.  The currencies in 
which transactions are primarily denominated are Australian dollars, Singapore dollars, US dollars and South African Rand.

The Company’s foreign exchange policy is aimed at managing its foreign currency exposure in order to protect profit margins 
by entering into forward exchange contracts and currency options, specifically against movements in the USD rate against the 
AUD.

The following table defines the range of cover that has been authorised by the Board relating to purchases over a defined 
period:

Sensitivity analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the USD, the SGD, or ZAR against all other currencies would have affected 
the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected profit or loss by the amounts shown 
below. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact 
of forecast sales and purchases. The translation of the net assets in subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the 
Australian dollar has not been included in the sensitivity analysis as part of the equity movement. 

There is no impact on equity as the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities represent cash, receivables and payables.

The Group is subject to exposure to interest rate risk as changes in interest rates will impact borrowings which bear interest 
at floating rates. Any increase in interest rates will impact Lovisa’s costs of servicing these borrowings which may adversely 
impact its financial position. This impact is not assessed to be material.

Increases in interest rates may also affect consumer sentiment and the level of customer demand, potentially leading to a 
decrease in consumer spending.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Group is as 
follows:

Cash	flow	sensitivity	analysis	for	variable	rate	instruments

At 3 July 2016, if interest rates had changed by +/- 100 basis points from the year end rates with all other variables held 
constant, pre tax profit for the year would have been $122,000 lower/higher (28 June 2015 - $55,000 lower/higher), as a result 
of higher/lower interest expense from variable rate borrowings. There is no additional impact on equity. 

(c) Derivative assets and liabilities

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign currency risk exposures.

Recognition and measurement

Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value; any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in 
profit or loss as they are incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, 
and changes therein are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Determination of fair values

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-
financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the 
following methods.

Forward rate contracts

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on their quoted price, if available. If a quoted price is not available, then 
fair value is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the 
residual maturity of the contract using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the 
agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating leases

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits 
of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis.

The lease incentive liability in relation to the non-cancellable operating leases are offset against lease rental expense on a 
straight line basis over the lease terms (generally three to five years).

(a) Leases as lessee

The Group has a number of lease commitments related to the operation of its retail stores. The leases typically run for a period 
of 3 to 5 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. Leases typically have an annual rental increase linked to CPI 
or a fixed annual increase.

(i) Future minimum lease payments

The future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases are payable as follows:

D4  share-based payment arrangements

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is generally recognised as 
an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognised as an 
expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions 
are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related 
service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting 
conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up 
for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

(a) Descriptions of the share-based payment arrangements

the Board has issued share option programmes that entitle key management personnel and senior management to purchase 
shares in the Company. Under these programmes, holders of vested options are entitled to purchase shares at the market 
price of the shares at the grant date. Currently, these programmes are limited to key management personnel and senior 
management.

The key terms and conditions related to the grants under these programmes are as follows; all options are to be settled by 
physical delivery of shares.

At 3 July 2016 the Group has the following share-based payment arrangements:

(EPS Hurdle). The Board has determined that the threshold EPS target is 37.33c and the stretch EPS target is 41.23c over 
FY16 and FY17.

On 18 November 2015, the Group granted 20,000 and 16,000 performance rights to the former CFO and Head of Product 
respectively, which entitle them to acquire a Share for nil consideration at the end of the performance period, subject to 
satisfaction of specific performance conditions. 

The 20,000 performance rights were cancelled upon the resignation of the former CFO.

(b) Measurement of fair values

(i)	Equity-settled	share-based	payment	arrangements

The fair value of the employee share options and performance rights (see (a)(i) and (a)(ii)) have been measured using the Black-
Scholes formula. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions were not taken into account in 
measuring fair value.

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the equity-settled share-based payment plans were as 
follows.

Fair value at grant date

Transactions between the Lovisa Group and BB Retail Capital and its related parties have been disclosed above due to BB 
Retail Capital continuing to be in a position of holding significant influence in relation to the Group, with representation on the 
Board of Directors. Lovisa has, and will continue to benefit from the relationships that its management team and BB Retail 
Capital have developed over many years of retail operating experience. BB Retail Capital currently provides certain property 
management services to Lovisa on an arm’s length basis including managing negotiations with landlords for new leases and 
lease renewals. This arrangement provides Lovisa with a strong potential negotiation partner when dealing with landlords, 
however the arrangement is also flexible as it can be cancelled at Lovisa’s discretion, after giving three months’ notice. Non 
property management related expense recharges are also priced on an arm’s length basis.

All outstanding balances with other related parties are priced on an arm’s length basis and are to be settled in cash within two 
months post the end of the reporting year.  None of the balances are secured.  No expense has been recognised in the current 
year or prior year for bad or doubtful debts in respect of amounts owed by related parties.

Pursuant to ASIC Class Order 98/1418 (as amended) dated 13 August 1998, the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed below are 
relieved from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports, and Directors’ 
reports.

It is a condition of the Class Order that the Company and each of the subsidiaries enter into a Deed of Cross Guarantee.  The 
effect of the Deed is that the Company guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in the event of winding up of 
any of the subsidiaries under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001.  If a winding up occurs under other provisions 
of the Act, the Company will only be liable in the event that after six months any creditor has not been paid in full.  The 
subsidiaries have also given similar guarantees in the event that the Company is wound up.

The subsidiaries subject to the Deed are:
•  Lovisa Australia Pty Ltd
•  Lovisa Pty Ltd 

Both of these companies became a party to the Deed on 18 June 2015, by virtue of a Deed of Assumption.

A consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and consolidated statement of financial position, 
comprising the Company and controlled entities which are a party to the Deed, after eliminating all transactions between 
parties to the Deed of Cross Guarantee, at 3 July 2016 is set out as follows.

D10 New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015; 
however, the Group has not applied the following new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial 
statements.

New or amended 
standards

IFRS 9 Financial 
Instruments

Summary of the requirements

IFRS 9, published in July 2014, replaces the existing 
guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the 
classification and measurement of financial instruments, 
including a new expected credit loss model for calculating 
impairment on financial assets, and the new general 
hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward 
the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial 
instruments from IAS 39.

IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning 
on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

Possible impact on consolidated 
financial statements

the group is assessing the potential 
impact on its consolidated financial 
statements resulting from the 
application of IFRS 9 however the 
impact of the new standard is not 
expected to be material.

IFRS 15 Revenue 
from Contracts with 
Customers

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for 
determining whether, how much and when revenue is 
recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition 
guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction 
Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes.

IFRS 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning 
on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

Adoption of IFRS 15 is not expected to 
have a material impact on the Group’s 
future revenue recognition.

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 removes the classification of leases as either 
operating or finance leases – for the lessee – effectively 
treating all leases as finance leases.

Short-term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of 
low-value assets are exempt from the lease accounting 
requirements.

There are also changes in accounting over the life of the 
lease. This will result in the recognition of a front-loaded 
pattern of expense for most leases, even when constant 
annual rentals are paid.

Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice.  

As a lessee with a substantial portfolio 
of operating leases, the implementation 
of IFRS 16 is expected to have a 
material impact on the future statutory 
performance of Lovisa Holdings Limited. 
A summary of the key impacts are as 
follows:

• 

• 

• 

EBITDA: increases because no 
operating lease expense is included

Equity: decreases as carrying 
amount of right-of-use asset 
reduces faster than the reduction of 
the lease liability in the early years 
of the lease

Profit before tax/EPS: Decreases 
as amortisation and interest 
expense recognised is greater than 
operating lease expense in the early 
years of the lease

The overall income statement impact is 
profit neutral over the course of a lease.

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Lovisa Holdings Limited (the company), 
which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  3  July  2016,  and 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement 
of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, basis
of accounting set out on page 40, notes A1 to D10 comprising a summary of significant accounting 
policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising 
the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial 
year.

Directors’ responsibility 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 is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or 
error. In the basis of accounting set out on page 40, the directors also state, in accordance with 
Australian  Accounting  Standard  AASB  101  Presentation  of  Financial  Statements,  that  the 
financial statements of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted 
our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that 
we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform 
the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  whether  the  financial  report  is  free  from  material 
misstatement. 

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and 
disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, 
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due 
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant 
to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design 
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating 
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 
made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. 

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents 
fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, a true 
and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Group’s financial position and of 
its performance. 

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

Independence

In  conducting  our  audit,  we  have  complied  with  the  independence  requirements  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001.

relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order 
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes
