OVERVIEW FINANCIALS It is very pleasing to report that Lovisa Holdings Limited (Lovisa) has delivered another record result for the year ended 1 July 2018 with sales, profits, cash flow and dividends all significantly up on the prior year. This result was driven by a combination of sales growth, margin improvement and cost of doing business management underpinned by emphasis on ensuring our retail offer resonates with our customers. The company continued its international expansion with a net increase of 38 stores which included entry into two new markets, and closed the financial year with 54% of the store network in markets outside Australia. Following another year of strong operating cash flows, the company is well positioned to accelerate its international growth plans. Revenue for the year was $217m being a 21.4% increase on the prior year. Sales momentum was again strong throughout the year with comparable store sales growth of 6.8% driven by growth across all regions, with a strong Christmas and Boxing Day period and continued delivery on key trends in the fashion jewellery sector. Trading margins increased to 80.0% from 78.8% in the prior year as a result of continuing to deliver on-trend product, strong inventory management and favourable foreign exchange rates. We estimate that on a constant currency basis, gross margin was 79.1%, a 30 basis point improvement on FY17. The Company’s Cost of Doing Business (CODB) margin was consistent with FY17 at 53% of sales, despite the continued investment in the structures to support the global growth of the business, and the opening of 38 net new stores. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only CHAIRMAN’S & MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT Chairman’s Report Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) was $51.1m being a 26% increase on EBIT from the prior year resulting in the delivery of Net profit after tax of $36.0m, a 24% increase on FY17, and earnings per share of 34.2 cents. The Company’s cash flow was again strong with operating cash conversion at 104% resulting in cashflow from operating activities lifting $10.2m to $60.6m. Capital expenditure predominantly from new stores and existing store refurbishments was $15.3m. Free cash flow after dividends was $9.9m. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The balance sheet was further strengthened during the year with strong cash generation delivering net cash reserves at year-end of $21.1m, and enabling the Directors to announce a final dividend of 14 cents per share, an increase of 6.4 cents on the prior year. INTERNATIONAL STORE EXPANSION During the year the company increased its store network to 326 stores. The company’s international expansion continued with store openings across all existing markets, the United Kingdom store rollout gaining momentum with 13 new stores for the year, and importantly the company now has stores operating in Spain, the USA, and France as we test our model in those markets with a view to them becoming important parts of our global rollout strategy. We continue to be diligent in ensuring store location and rent economics meet our internal hurdles before signing long term leases. We are engaged with Landlords across all markets ensuring Landlords are familiar with the Lovisa Brand and the company’s financial strength. DIVIDENDS Following the strong earnings and cash flow performance, the Directors declared a final dividend of 14.0 cents per share fully franked for the year ended 1 July 2018, taking the total dividends for the year to 27.0 cents, a 53% increase on FY17. The final dividend will be paid on 25 October 2018. BOARD RENEWAL We are pleased to announce that Mr John Armstrong has agreed to join the Board as an Independent Non- Executive Director, effective from 25 September 2018. Mr Armstrong has more than 30 years’ experience in various financial and commercial management roles and brings significant financial experience to the Board. His most recent executive role was at SEEK Limited, an ASX 50 listed leading recruitment and education provider, where he was the Chief Financial Officer for over 12 years. After completing an agreed term of two years, the Chairman has decided to stand down and retire from the Board at the Annual General Meeting on 30 October 2018. Mr Kay agreed to join the board to bring his experience in public markets to the then recently listed Lovisa. Lovisa is now well established with the investment community and the task now is to accelerate the roll out of stores and the online sales channel in suitable countries around the world. With this in mind, we are delighted Mr Brett Blundy has agreed to join the board as a full-time director (he is currently alternate to Ms Tracey Blundy) from 1 November 2018. Mr Blundy will assume the role of Chairman on that date. OUTLOOK We continue to cycle particularly strong comparable store sales delivered over recent years, with growth above our target range delivered in each of the past 4 years, which will make continuation of the comparable store sales momentum delivered in FY18 more challenging. Whilst we continue to maintain positive comparable store sales growth as we begin FY19, we are currently trading below our long-term target range of 3-5%. Subject to being able to source suitable sites, we expect to accelerate the store rollout in the coming year, with the increase in number of stores for FY19 to be higher than FY18. We will continue to invest in our support structures ahead of the growth curve to drive store network expansion. We forecast to go into Christmas trading with at least 7 stores in each of the US, France, and Spain markets as we continue to build our presence. The key drivers of success for Lovisa continue to be a dedicated fast fashion jewellery offer to it its customers supported by a talented and enthusiastic team. Your Board and Management team remain committed to maintaining this and we look forward to another exciting and successful year.

Financing costs were positive during the year following strong cash flow and debt facilities remaining undrawn. Net profit after tax increased 23.8% to $36.0m with EPS lifting to 34.2 cents. 4.1.5 Cash Flow The Group’s net cash flow from operating activities increased $7.2m during the year to $46.8m. The Group’s cash flow before tax and financing costs was $60.6m. Capital expenditure of $14.2m relates predominately to new store openings and refurbishments of current stores upon lease renewal.

Total Company sales were $215.5m being 21.3% up on last year. Franchise income increased by 37.6% to $1.5m.

Gross Margin increased to 80.0% from 78.8% in the prior year on the back of strong range performance, tight inventory management and the stronger Australian dollar. This Margin increase benefited from currency tailwinds associated with the Australian Dollar. We estimate 90bps of the 120bps improvement in gross margin was a result of the impact of the stronger Australian dollar on stock purchases.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES Lovisa has achieved rapid growth since it was founded, with revenue growing from $25.5 million in FY2011 to $217.0 million in FY2018. The Group continues to focus on its key drivers to deliver growth in sales and profit growth.

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 - 1 July 2018For personal use onlyDirectors’ Report 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 target 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 a portfolio of company owned stores in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Spain, France and the United States of America and supporting franchised stores in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain , Saudi Arabia and Vietnam. Lovisa will continue to explore other markets through pilot programs and will advise shareholders upon successful completion of those pilot programs in order to capitalise on the opportunities presented and obtain scale in these markets. 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 are not presented at the relevant time. The history of Lovisa stores is as follows: Australia New Zealand Singapore South Africa Malaysia United Kingdom Spain France USA Middle East* Vietnam* Total * Franchise Stores FY2014 FY2015 FY2016 FY2017 166 14 10 11 7 - - - - 2 - 210 146 14 15 36 15 - - - - 13 - 239 144 145 18 19 36 14 3 - - - 16 - 250 18 21 50 19 11 1 - - 19 4 288 FY2018 151 20 22 56 21 24 5 2 1 18 6 326 P / 2 1 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, New Zealand and US stores) or its third party operated warehouse in Hong Kong (for stock to be sold in all other countries). 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. In August 2018, the Group successfully transitioned the HK third party warehouse to a new third party warehouse in Qingdao, China to ensure we are better placed to efficiently support the global expansion of the business. 5.4 Enhance Existing Store Performance Lovisa is constantly reviewing the efficiency of its existing store network to ensure that stores are run as profitably as possible, with stores closed if they are not performing to expectations and new sites continuing to be identified. Whilst some of the markets Lovisa operates in are mature and have less opportunities for new store openings, our leasing team continue to assess new sites as they arise. 5.5 Brand Proliferation Lovisa supports the growth of 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. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only Directors’ Report 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. 2 2 / P 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 due to 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 a low average retail spend 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 on trend 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 homogeneous 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 are not 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 associated with its cost of goods. 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.

Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration 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 Group’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. 9.2 Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration Key Management Personnel Key Management Personnel (KMP) have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the consolidated entity, and comprise: 4 2 / P 1. Non-Executive Directors 2. Managing Director 3. Chief Executive Officer 4. Chief Financial Officer Non-Executive Director KMP Michael Kay Chairman James King Director Tracey Blundy Director Brett Blundy Alternate Director Paul Cave Director (Resigned 31 October 2017) Executive KMP Shane Fallscheer Managing Director Steven Doyle Chief Executive Officer (Resigned 20 April 2018) Chris Lauder Chief Financial Officer (Appointed 13 September 2017) Graeme Fallet Chief Financial Officer (Resigned 15 September 2017) (a) Non-Executive Directors KMP Remuneration Non-executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Non-executive Directors’ 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 1 July 2018 was $336,667. 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: • Offer a remuneration structure that will attract, focus, retain and reward highly capable people • • • 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 The mix of fixed and at risk components for each Senior Executive as a percentage of total target remuneration for the 2018 financial year is as follows: Senior Executive Shane Fallscheer Steven Doyle Chris Lauder Fixed remuneration At risk remuneration 64% 50% 69% 36% 50% 31% This report has been audited by the Company’s Auditor KPMG as required by Section 308 (3C) of the Corporation Act 2001. Note: the above assumes each KMP receives their maximum STI and LTI in the relevant period. If this is not the case, then the mix would change in favour of the fixed remuneration %. 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. 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.

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. 8 3 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited reports within a retail financial period. The current financial year represents a 52 week period ended on 1 July 2018 (2017: 52 week period ended 2 July 2017). This treatment is consistent with section 323D of Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 1 July 2018 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 21 August 2018. 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 2017. 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 1 July 2018 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 key money; and • Notes B7 and D3 – recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources. Basis of consolidation Business combinations 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. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 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; • The information is important for understanding the • • 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. P / 3 9 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 Group 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 Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements BUSINESS PERFORMANCE This section highlights key financial performance measures of the Lovisa Group’s operating segments, as well as Group financial metrics incorporating revenue, earnings, taxation and dividends. 0 4 / P 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). For management purposes, the Group is organised into geographic segments to review sales by territory. All territories offer similar products and services and are managed by sales teams in each territory reporting to the Global GM of Sales, however overall company performance is managed on a global level by the MD and the Group’s management team. Store performance is typically assessed at an individual store level. Lovisa results are aggregated to form one reportable operating segment, being the retail sale of fashion jewellery and accessories. The individual stores meet the aggregation criteria to form a reportable segment. The company’s stores exhibit similar long-term financial performance and economic characteristics throughout the world, which include: a. Consistent products are offered throughout the company’s stores worldwide; b. All stock sold throughout the world utilises common design processes and products are sourced from the same supplier base; c. Customer base is similar throughout the world; d. All stores are serviced from two delivery centres; e. No major regulatory environment differences exist between operating territories. As the Group reports utilising one reportable operating segment, no reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments measure of profit or loss to the consolidated profit has been provided as no reconciling items exist.

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.

The Board may also pay any dividend required to be paid under the terms of issue of a Share, and fix a record date for a dividend and the timing and method of payment.

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. P / 4 3 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: 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.

B1 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Recognition and measurement Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently stated at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses.

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 6 4 / P 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 2018 and included in cost of sales amount to $38,512,000 (2017: $32,508,000). During 2018 inventories of $4,571,000 (2017: $5,180,000) 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.

Goodwill is not amortised. Key Money Key money represents expenditure associated with acquiring existing operating lease agreements for company- operated stores in countries where there is an active market for key money (e.g. regularly published transaction prices), also referred to as ‘rights of use’. Key money is not amortised but annually tested for impairment. Key money in countries where there is not an active market for key money is amortised over the contractual lease period.

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 and indefinite-lived key money For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and key money are 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 EBITDA growth rate (average of next five years) 2018 15.0% 3.0% 2017 15.0% 3.0% 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. Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements B5 IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL (CONTINUED) Impairment test (continued) Impairment testing for CGUs containing goodwill and key money (continued) 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. EBITDA for the purposes of impairment testing was based on expectations of future outcomes taking into account past experience, adjusted for the anticipated revenue growth with FY19 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. 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 payables 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.

Information about the Group’s exposure to currency and liquidity risk is included in Note C4. 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.

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. (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 ten years). c) Onerous leases Description 0 5 / P 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. B8 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Recognition and measurement Long-term service benefits Key Estimates Expenditure to settle the restoration obligation at the end of the lease term is based on the Group’s best estimate. Key Estimates No major estimation required in the calculation of these provisions. 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 Group’s best estimate 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.

C1 CAPITAL AND RESERVES Recognition and measurement Ordinary shares Initially, share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. (a) Share capital No. of Ordinary Shares Value of Ordinary Shares 2018 ‘000’s 2017 ‘000’s 2018 ‘000’s 2017 ‘000’s On issue at beginning of year 105,000 105,000 208,526 208,526 Exercise of performance rights 16 - - - On issue at end of year 105,016 105,000 208,526 208,526 2 5 / P All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets. (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 accounted for 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 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. Consolidated ($000s) Current liabilities Bank overdraft Note 2018 - P / 5 3 2017 1,705 Information about the Group’s exposure to interest rate, foreign currency and liquidity risk is included in Note C4.

Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements C4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT (a) Fair values Recognition and measurement A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Group has established a control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, by the CFO. The Group periodically reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the Group assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group Audit, Business Risk and Compliance Committee. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows. • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the financial year during which the change has occurred. The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. 4 5 / P 1 July 2018 Carrying Amount Fair Value Consolidated ($000s) Note Hedging instruments Loans and receivables Other financial assets/ liabilities Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial liabilities measured at fair value Derivatives Financial assets not measured at fair value Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents B1 C5 Financial liabilities not measured at fair value Trade and other payables B6 1,429 1,429 - - 4,881 21,057 25,938 - - - - - - - - - - 1,429 1,429 4,881 21,057 25,938 - - 11,747 11,747 11,747 11,747 - - - - - - - 1,429 1,429 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1,429 1,429 - - - - - Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use onlyNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements C4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (a) Fair values (continued) Recognition and measurement (continued) 2 July 2017 Carrying Amount Fair Value Consolidated ($000s) Note Hedging instruments Loans and receivables Other financial assets/ liabilities Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial liabilities measured at fair value Derivatives Financial assets not measured at fair value Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Financial liabilities not measured at fair value Bank overdrafts Trade and other payables B1 C5 C5 B6 805 805 - - 3,615 12,744 16,359 - - - - - 805 805 3,615 12,744 16,359 - - - 1,705 1,705 10,001 10,001 11,706 11,706 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 805 805 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 805 805 - - - - - - P / 5 5 (i) Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

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 6 5 / P 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 1 July 2018, no trade receivables were past due but not impaired (2017: 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 secured by security interests granted by Lovisa Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries over all of their assets in favour of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA): • $15 million revolving cash advance facility • $10 million multi option facility • $5 million contingent liability facility for global letters of credit and bank guarantees. 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.

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.

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 applies hedge accounting 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 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, British pounds 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: Exposure Minimum Hedge Position Neutral Hedge Position Maximum Hedge Position Purchases 0 to 6 months Purchases 7 to 9 months Purchases 10 to 12 months Exposure to currency risk 8 5 / P 60% 40% 30% 80% 50% 40% 100% 75% 50% The summary quantitative data about the Group’s exposure to currency risk as reported to the management of the Group is as follows: In thousands of SGD USD GBP ZAR SGD USD GBP ZAR 1 July 2018 2 July 2017 Cash and cash equivalents Trade receivables Trade payables Net statement of financial position exposure Sensitivity analysis 1,411 - 90 523 563 7,746 1,174 - 1,108 7,404 - 249 - 406 - - (230) (3,124) (962) (199) (28) (3,491) (117) (136) 1,181 (2,511) (399) 7,796 1,146 (3,085) 991 7,268 A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the USD, the SGD, the GBP 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.

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. P / 5 9 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: Consolidated ($000s) Variable-rate instruments Financial liabilities Nominal amount 2018 - - 2017 1,705 1,705 Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments At 1 July 2018, if interest rates had changed by +/- 100 basis points from the year end rates with all other variables held constant, there would have been no impact on pre tax profit for the year (2 July 2017 - $114,000 lower/higher), as a result of higher/lower interest expense from variable rate borrowings. There is no 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).

D1 LIST OF SUBSIDIARIES Set out below is a list of subsidiaries of the Group. All subsidiaries are wholly owned, unless otherwise stated. Name Lovisa Australia Pty Ltd Lovisa Pty Ltd Lovisa Employee Share Plan Pty Ltd Lovisa International Pte Ltd Lovisa Singapore Pte Ltd Lovisa Accessories Pty Ltd DCK Jewellery South Africa (Pty) Ltd Lovisa New Zealand Pty Ltd Lovisa Malaysia Sdn Bhd Lovisa UK Ltd Lovisa Global Pte Ltd Lovisa Complementos España SL 2 6 / P Lovisa America, LLC Lovisa France SARL Lovisa Hong Kong Ltd D2 OPERATING LEASES Recognition and measurement Principal place of business Australia Australia Australia Singapore Singapore South Africa South Africa New Zealand Malaysia United Kingdom Singapore Spain United States of America France Hong Kong 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 ten 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 10 years. 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: Consolidated ($000s) Less than one year Between one and five years More than five years 2018 23,988 54,585 10,954 89,527 2017 17,930 36,062 5,552 59,544 Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements D3 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (a) Guarantees The Group has guarantees outstanding to landlords and other parties to the value of $3,648,000 at 1 July 2018 (2017: $1,810,000). (b) Capital commitments and contingent liabilities The Group is committed to incur capital expenditure of $510,000 (2017: $557,000). There are no contingent liabilities that exist at 1 July 2018 (2 July 2017: none). 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. All options are to be settled by physical delivery of shares. At 1 July 2018 the Group has the following share-based payment arrangements: (i) Share option programmes (equity-settled) Long Term Incentives - Annual Programmes Share Option Programme Grant date/employee entitled Number of instruments (000’s) Contractual life of options Vesting conditions P / 6 3 Options granted FY 2017 LTI (1) May 2016 3,460 3 years FY 2017 LTI (2) August 2016 412 3 years FY 2018 LTI (1) July 2017 2,960 3 years FY2018 LTI (2) October 2017 FY2018 LTI (3) November 2017 3 years 3 years 377 338 7,547 20% compound increase in EPS over 3 years,with a decrease in the number of options vesting down to a minimum of 10% compound EPS growth over the 3 year period in line with the table below. 1,308,901 of the FY2018 LTI (1) options were approved at the Company’s AGM on 31 October 2017. The Board has determined that the threshold EPS target is 10% compound growth over the 3 year period and the stretch EPS target is 20% compound growth over the 3 year period.

The remaining two thirds of Options were subject to a performance condition based on the Company’s EPS over FY16 and FY17 (EPS Hurdle). Following completion of the FY2017 financial year, the Board determined that these hurdles had been met and therefore all 550,000 of these options have vested. (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.

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. In the prior period, BB Retail Capital provided 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 ceased as at 2 July 2017 with property management services now provided in-house. The company was reimbursed $161,000 to take on the employee benefits of team who transferred to the company. Non property management related expense recharges are also priced on an arms length basis. The Group will continue to utilise BBRC Retail Capital’s retail operating experience on an arms length basis. All outstanding balances with other related parties are priced on an arm’s length basis and are to be settled in cash within two months post the end of the reporting year. None of the balances are secured. No expense has been recognised in the current year or prior year for bad or doubtful debts in respect of amounts owed by related parties. 6 6 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements D6 AUDITOR’S REMUNERATION Consolidated ($) a) KPMG Audit and review services Auditors of the Company - KPMG Australia Audit and review of financial statements Network firms of KPMG Australia Audit and review of financial statements Total remuneration for audit and review services Other services Auditors of the Company - KPMG Australia 2018 2017 181,000 186,787 59,000 240,000 43,213 230,000 In relation to other assurance, taxation and due diligence services 182,757 193,430 Network firms of KPMG Australia In relation to other assurance, taxation and due diligence services Total remuneration for other services Total remuneration of KPMG b) Non-KPMG audit firms Audit and review services Audit and review of financial statements Total remuneration for audit and review services Other services In relation to other assurance, taxation and due diligence services Total remuneration for other services Total remuneration of non-KPMG audit firms Total auditors remuneration 33,729 216,486 456,486 21,601 21,601 43,846 43,846 65,447 521,933 21,402 214,832 444,832 9,972 9,972 P / 6 7 46,803 46,803 56,775 501,607 Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements D7 DEED OF CROSS GUARANTEE Pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Wholly-owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785 issued by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, 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 Instrument 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 1 July 2018 is set out as follows.

D9 NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for the annual reporting year ending 2 July 2017: • AASB 2016-1 AASB112: Income Taxes: Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses • AASB 2016-2 AASB107: Statement of Cashflows: Disclosure Initiative The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the current year or any prior year and are not likely to affect future years. 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 2017; however, the Group has not applied the following new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements. (a) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments IFRS 9 Financial Instruments sets out requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. This standard replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. 0 7 / P Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements D10 NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED (CONTINUED) (a) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (continued) i. Classification – Financial assets IFRS 9 contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortised cost, FVOCI and FVTPL. The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Under IFRS 9, derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never bifurcated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification. Based on its assessment, the Group does not believe that the new classification requirements will have a material impact on its accounting for trade receivables. ii. Impairment – Financial assets and contract assets IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. This will require considerable judgement about how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which will be determined on a probability-weighted basis. The new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortised cost or FVOCI, except for investments in equity instruments, and to contract assets. Under IFRS 9, loss allowances will be measured on either of the following bases: • 12-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and • lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. Lifetime ECL measurement applies if the credit risk of a financial asset at the reporting date has increased significantly since initial recognition and 12-month ECL measurement applies if it has not. An entity may determine that a financial asset’s credit risk has not increased significantly if the asset has low credit risk at the reporting date. However, lifetime ECL measurement always applies for trade receivables without a significant financing component; the Group has chosen to apply this policy also for trade receivables with a significant financing component. The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties, with a minimum ‘A’ rating. The Group considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties. P / 7 1 iii. Classification – Financial liabilities IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification of financial liabilities. However, under IAS 39 all fair value changes of liabilities designated as at FVTPL are recognised in profit or loss, whereas under IFRS 9 these fair value changes are generally presented as follows: • the amount of change in the fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability is presented in OCI; and • the remaining amount of change in the fair value is presented in profit or loss. The Group has not designated any financial liabilities at FVTPL and it has no current intention to do so. The Group’s assessment did not indicate any material impact regarding the classification of financial liabilities at 1 July 2018. iv. Hedge accounting When initially applying IFRS 9, the Group may choose as its accounting policy to continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39 instead of the requirements in IFRS 9. The Group has chosen to apply the new requirements of IFRS 9. IFRS 9 requires the Group to ensure that hedge accounting relationships are aligned with the Group’s risk management objectives and strategy and to apply a more qualitative and forward-looking approach to assessing hedge effectiveness. IFRS 9 also introduces new requirements on rebalancing hedge relationships and prohibiting voluntary discontinuation of hedge accounting. Under the new model, it is possible that more risk management strategies, particularly those involving hedging a risk component (other than foreign currency risk) of a non-financial item, will be likely to qualify for hedge accounting. The Group does not currently undertake hedges of such risk components. The Group uses forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the variability in cash flows arising from changes in foreign exchange rates relating to inventory purchases. The types of hedge accounting relationships that the Group currently designates meet the requirements of IFRS 9 and are aligned with the entity’s risk management strategy and objective. The estimated impact on reserves and retained earnings at 2 July 2018 as a result of the application of the IFRS 9 hedge accounting requirements is not expected to be material.

Disclosures IFRS 9 will require extensive new disclosures, in particular about hedge accounting, credit risk and ECLs. The Group’s assessment included an analysis to identify data gaps against current processes and the Group is in the process of implementing the system and controls changes that it believes will be necessary to capture the required data. vi. Transition Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 will generally be applied retrospectively, except as described below. • The Group will take advantage of the exemption allowing it not to restate comparative information for prior periods with respect to classification and measurement (including impairment) changes. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 will generally be recognised in retained earnings and reserves as at 2 July 2018. • The new hedge accounting requirements are expected to be applied prospectively. (b) 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. i) Sales of goods Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Under IFRS 15, revenue will be recognised when a customer obtains control of the goods. This is not expected to change the timing of the company’s recognition of revenue. Revenue is measured net of returns. Under IFRS 15, revenue will be recognised to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The estimated impact on retained earnings at 2 July 2018 as a result of changes in the timing of accounting for these returns is not expected to be material. The impact of these changes on other items in the consolidated statement of financial position is the recognition of a refund liability and a new asset for the right to recover returned goods. 2 7 / P ii) Transition The Group plans to adopt IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method, with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. 2 July 2018). As a result, the Group will not apply the requirements of IFRS 15 to the comparative period presented. (c) IFRS 16 Leases IFRS 16 replaces existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 at or before the date of initial application of IFRS 16. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard – i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases. The Group has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements but has not yet completed its detailed assessment. The actual impact of applying IFRS 16 on the financial statements in the period of initial application will depend on future economic conditions, including the Group’s borrowing rate at 1 July 2019, the composition of the Group’s lease portfolio at that date, the Group’s latest assessment of whether it will exercise any lease renewal options and the extent to which the Group chooses to use practical expedients and recognition exemptions. So far, the most significant impact identified is that the Group will recognise new assets and liabilities for its operating leases of retail premises, offices and warehouse facilities. As at 1 July 2018, the Group’s future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases amounted to $89,527,000 on an undiscounted basis (see Note D2). In addition, the nature of expenses related to those leases will now change as IFRS 16 replaces the straight-line operating lease expense with a depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. The Group does not expect the adoption of IFRS 16 to impact its ability to comply with its banking covenants due to a “frozen GAAP” clause existing in our facility agreement.

The lessee applies the election consistently to all of its leases. The Group plans to apply IFRS 16 initially on 1 July 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 will be recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 July 2019, with no restatement of comparative information. When applying the modified retrospective approach to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, the lessee can elect, on a lease-by-lease basis, whether to apply a number of practical expedients on transition. The Group is assessing the potential impact of using these practical expedients.

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (cid:120) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 1 July 2018 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and (cid:120) complying with Australian Accounting Corporations and Standards Regulations 2001. the The Financial Report comprises: (cid:120) Consolidated Statement of financial position as at 1 July 2018. (cid:120) Consolidated Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, Consolidated Statement of changes in equity, and Consolidated Statement of cash flows for the year then ended (cid:120) Notes including a summary of significant accounting policies (cid:120) Directors’ Declaration. The Group consists of the Company and the entities it controlled at the year-end or from time to time during the financial year. P / 7 7 Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 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 (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 1 Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only Signed Reports INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LOVISA HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED) 8 7 / P 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. Valuation of Inventories ($14.9m) Refer to Note B2 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit A key audit matter for us was the Group s valuation of inventories, given the relative size of the balance (being 21% of total assets within the Group s consolidated statement of financial position) and the judgement we apply to assess the Group s estimates specific to the value of obsolete inventory. The Group sells fashion jewellery and is therefore subject to changing consumer demands and fashion trends. This increases the risk that, as trends change, products may either need to be sold at a discount below their recorded cost, or ultimately disposed of for zero value. Estimating the level of provisioning for obsolete inventory requires consideration of the ageing and condition of products on hand, historic trends in write-offs and inventory turnover and anticipated future sales. Such judgements may have a significant impact on the calculation of the inventory provision, and therefore the overall carrying value of inventories, necessitating our audit effort thereon. Our procedures included: (cid:120) Assessing the historical accuracy of the Group s inventory provision against actual outcomes, to inform our evaluation of the current year provision and assumptions; (cid:120) Challenging the Group s assumptions within their provision, particularly the extent to which aged and seasonal inventory can be sold, taking into account our knowledge of the industry and past Group performance; (cid:120) Analysing current and historic trends in inventory holdings and ageing to identify indicators of slow- moving or obsolete inventory. We compared this to the Group s listing of obsolete inventory; (cid:120) Checking the integrity of the inventory ageing report at 1 July 2018, as a key input used in the provision calculation, by comparing on a sample basis inventory age per the report to purchase invoices; (cid:120) Attending a sample of inventory counts across the store and warehouse locations to observe the existence and condition of products held; and (cid:120) Comparing a statistical sample of inventory carrying values to post year-end sales prices, and against amounts recorded in the provision. 2 Lovisa Holdings Limited Annual Report - 1 July 2018For personal use only Signed Reports INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LOVISA HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED) Other Information Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Lovisa Holdings Limited s annual reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor's Report.

P / 7 9 Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The Directors are responsible for: (cid:120) preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 (cid:120) implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error (cid:120) assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report Our objective is: (cid:120) (cid:120) to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report.
