Letter from  
the Chairman

R EG  W E INE   
CH A IRMA N

Dear Shareholders

The 2022 financial year was a transformative year for 
Maggie Beer Holdings Ltd (MBH).  

Towards the end of FY22 the MBH Board made the difficult 
but important decision to commence a process to divest 
the Company’s legacy Dairy Assets – Paris Creek Farms and 
St David Dairy which were considered non-core. 

Future focus on Maggie Beer Products and Hampers  
& Gifts Australia

This decision means Maggie Beer Products (MBP) and 
Hampers & Gifts Australia (HGA) are now the two core 
business units forming our Continuing Operations.  These 
two businesses are premium Australian food and gifting 
brands that have been growing strongly.  

Continuing Operations generating strong e-commerce 
sales and above average investment returns

With 66% of our FY22 revenues from these businesses 
coming from e-commerce, we have successfully de-risked 
our portfolio and go-to-market channels and built a 
platform for sustained future growth. 

HGA’s main e-commerce site, the Hamper Emporium, saw 
its website visits and revenue increase by 26% in FY22.  At 
the same time, the MBH e-commerce business continued 
its strong growth with revenue up 156% in FY22.  

MBH now has an engaged digital audience of more 
than 900k consumers. Combined with our range of new 
innovative products and hampers, our e-commerce 
businesses are positioned for sustained growth. 

Strong growth in Continuing Operations revenue  
and trading EBITDA in FY22

Despite the challenging operating conditions that all 
businesses have had to operate in over the past 12 months, 
our Continuing Operations achieved 22% sales growth on 
a proforma basis* in FY22 with a healthy 53% gross margin.  
Trading EBITDA from Continuing Operations was $11.3 
million and NPAT was $7.5 million. 

*Pro-forma results include unaudited HGA results prior 
to the acquisition on 21/05/2021

Dairy Assets being sold and classified  
as Discontinued Operations

The Dairy Assets have been classified as Discontinued 
Operations for the purpose of this financial report, and 
we are currently in advanced discussions with potential 
purchasers of these businesses. Given the wide range of 
possible divestment outcomes, the MBH Board has written 
down the fair value of the Dairy Assets to $11.4 million, 
recording a non-cash impairment of $17.5 million. 

MBH to reward shareholders

As announced in May 22, it’s MBH’s intention to commence 
paying dividends but due to the loss on its Dairy Assets, 
the board proposes to recommend a Return of Capital of 
1.0 cent per share, in lieu of a FY22 Dividend, subject to 
shareholder approval at the 2022 AGM.

Our businesses are only as good as our people

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge our 
extraordinary team led by our CEO Chantale, who have yet 
again proved how committed and resilient they are in the 
face of adversity.  We continue to invest in our people and 
culture and in FY22 we launched the new Company values: 
Passionate, Nimble, Ambitious, Inclusive, & Community 
Focused and we created a Reward & Recognition Program, 
to recognise the great work done by our people and teams.  

Well positioned to continue the Company’s  
growth trajectory

Consistent with our growth strategy, the successful 
integration of HGA and the planned divestment of the 
non-core Dairy Assets, MBH is now a focused, fast growing, 
profitable, premium branded food, beverage & gifting 
business with bright prospects.  

MBH has a strong balance sheet, is profitable and cashflow 
positive.  We believe we have the people, brands, platform, 
and a strong pipeline of innovative new products to ensure 
Maggie Beer Holdings remains uniquely positioned for 
sustained growth in revenue and earnings.   

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all 
stakeholders including employees, customers, suppliers, 
and our shareholders for their continued support.  

I very much look forward to welcoming you at our Annual 
General Meeting in November. 

Yours sincerely,

Reg Weine 
Chairman

CEO & Managing  
Director’s Report

Group robust against multiple challenges in Australia  
and globally over FY22

Whilst we knew that FY22 was going to have its challenges, 
as we continued to grapple with the fallout of COVID-19, 
we could not have foreseen the disruption that would be 
caused by the numerous natural disasters across Australia 
and the impact of global events.

The continued fallout from COVID-19 resulted in staff 
shortages across our businesses and those of our 
customers and suppliers.  This, coupled with a low 
unemployment rate and an increasing demand for workers 
as Australian businesses re-opened, exacerbated labour 
shortages and increased employment costs.

Supply chains, already in disruption from COVID-19 
were disrupted further by the floods in Central Australia 
and then Northern New South Wales and Queensland.  
The demand for sea freight resulted in higher import 
costs which did not ease as hoped in Q3 FY22, with war 
breaking out in the Ukraine and COVID-19 lockdowns in 
China stifling this recovery.  The war in Ukraine also drove 
up fuel prices, further increasing transport costs from the 
end of February 22. 

Inflation increased at a rapid pace in FY22, with cost 
pressure across all our businesses.  However, our premium 
brands have pricing power and we have successfully 
implemented price increases across our products to 
respond to the cost inflation felt.  

As a Group, our focus continues to be on employee 
wellbeing & retention as well as sustained growth through 
increased ranging, new product launches and price 
increases.  The results for FY22 show the resilience of MBH 
with continued revenue growth, strong gross margins, cash 
generation, a strong cash balance, no non-asset backed 
debt and a workforce that is engaged, safe and well.

Strategic decision implemented to sell our Dairy Assets 

The MBH Board made the difficult but strategic decision 
in Q4 FY22 to divest the Company’s legacy Dairy Assets 
– Paris Creek Farms and St David Dairy.  These two 
businesses would now be considered as Assets Held for 
Sale (Discontinued Operations), with Maggie Beer Products 
(MBP) and Hampers & Gifts Australia (HGA) continuing as 
the Continuing Operations.

C HANTALE  M ILLAR D   
CEO   &  MA NA GI NG  DIREC TO R

Dear Shareholders, 

I am delighted to present MBH’s FY22 Annual Report  
to you.  

The past 12 months have been unprecedented in terms of 
the challenges we have faced, like many other businesses.  
And yet the operational and financial results achieved over 
FY22 clearly demonstrate the strength of our brands and 
products with consumers in Australia and overseas.

As I reflect on the incredibly busy year we’ve had, I would 
like to thank our entire team within our four businesses  
and at head office, who have worked tirelessly over the  
past 12 months to keep our businesses operating and the 
Group growing.  

I would also like to thank our loyal customers for 
continuing to purchase our premium products and trust 
that our beautiful food, beverage and gifting products 
have delighted customers and loved ones during these 
difficult times.

Mental health and wellbeing of our people

Our people are our most important asset and looking after 
their wellbeing and mental health has been a priority over 
the past 12 months.  Our first ever People, Culture and 
Performance Manager started in July 2021 and is part of 
our investment in our people.  

We have made some great progress on our employee 
engagement initiatives with new Group values formulated 
and embedded into the Group in FY22, with the 
participation and inclusion of ideas from our teams. We 
have implemented a new online HR portal that allows us 
to communicate with, assess wellbeing, review employee 
performance and run training sessions and we have 
created a Reward & Recognition Program, to recognise the 
great work done by our people and teams.  We continue to 
have an Employee Assistance Program that is available to 
employees and their families, to confidentially discuss any 
mental health and wellbeing issues.  

We will continue this journey over FY23, to attract and 
retain great people.

CEO & Managing  
Director’s Report, cont.

The decision to treat the Dairy Assets as Assets Held 
for Sale has not been made lightly, but after careful 
consideration the MBH Board believes there is a more 
natural owner of these assets that will have synergistic 
operations to strengthen and grow the businesses.  

The following information is laid out to allow the reader to 
see the performance of our Continuing Operations, while 
also tying back to the previous FY22 guidance provided to 
the market of $100 million in revenue, and $9.25 million to 
$10.5 million in trading EBITDA.

FY22 trading EBITDA guidance achieved

The Group (Continuing and Discontinued Operations) 
generated net sales of $98.3 million in FY22 and a trading 
EBITDA of $10.3 million.  The Group’s revenue was within 
its guidance range and it achieved the upper end of its 
revised trading EBITDA guidance.

The FY22 Financial Statements show net sales of $75.3 
million and trading EBITDA of $11.3 million.  These results 
only include MBP and HGA (Continuing Operations).  
Inclusion of the Dairy Assets increases net sales to $98.3 
million and reduces the trading EBITDA to $10.3 million.

Continuing Operations lead the charge in FY22

The successful integration of HGA into the Group is already 
realisng benefits as the Group successfully transitions 
to a diversified portfolio with 66% of its revenue now 
coming from e-commerce and the remaining 34% from the 
traditional grocery retail service model.  

MBP and HGA performed strongly in FY22 and clearly show 
the EPS accretive nature of the two businesses combined.  
In terms of the underlying growth (ex-Discontinued 
Operations) of these businesses, they achieved 22.1%* 
net sales growth to $75.3 million in FY22.  In addition, the 
two continuing businesses generated a trading EBITDA of 
$11.3 million (or 15.1% of net sale revenue) and a NPAT  
of $7.5 million.

MBP and HGA have attractive organic growth opportunities, 
through new product launches, and increased ranging still 
to be realised.  In addition, once the future of our Dairy 
Assets has been resolved, we plan to turn our minds back 
to synergistic acquisitions – like the value creating HGA 
acquisition – that will accelerate growth through our large 
base of grocery retail and e-commerce consumers.

New product launches continue to drive growth  
in grocery retail and e-commerce

FY22 saw revenue grow through increased product ranging 
and the launch of new products, which is a key part of our 
focused growth strategy.  

We were able to increase ranging of our current products 
in major supermarkets, together with launching a new 
range of Bone Broths nationally in Woolworths and Coles, 
a range of 1L Stocks nationally in Coles and a range of 
Finishing Sauces nationally in Woolworths.  All these 
products were also launched nationally in independent 
supermarkets.  

This new ranging gave us 3,790 new distribution points 
and is a key part of our strategy to expand our footprint 
in Australia.  In addition, these products are proving to 
be very successful and tap into the “cooking at home” 
category, which is a space that the Maggie Beer Products 
brand excels in.  We have seen 85% growth in this category 
in FY22 vs FY21.  We are now working on more products 
to expand this category in both major grocery retailers and 
independent supermarkets in FY23.

HGA launched its new range of homewares, pamper and 
wellness hampers in FY22 together with its new cheese 
and entertaining hampers delivered chilled to most states 
in Australia.  These hampers are a key part of HGA’s growth 
plan in FY23, and the cheese hampers in particular offer a 
point of difference to our B2B and B2C customers.

Strong online sales performance in FY22

MBH’s e-commerce businesses continued to grow with 
HGA’s revenue up 26%* and MBP’s revenue up 156% in 
FY22 (compared to FY21).  While below the COVID-19 high 
growth rates of FY21, this was still a strong result and both 
HGA and MBP are looking to continue their growth in FY23.

Growing audience of engaged consumers driving  
repeat purchase rates

FY22 saw MBH increase its marketing spend across its 
brands, in particular for HGA and MBP.  

MBP increased its marketing investment across grocery 
retail with the launch of its new products and creation of 
new TVCs for free to air and online streaming channels.  It 
also increased its investment in its e-commerce sites which 
saw its website visits increase by 18% and conversion rate 
increase by 38%.  

While Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC) increased by 8%, 
the number of repeat customers increased by 310%.  This 
increase is partly due to our engaged Food Club which 
now has 75k members. 

HGA’s main e-commerce site, the Hamper Emporium, saw 
its website visits increase by 26% and its conversion rate 
increase by 5%.  The extra investment in marketing initiatives 
did see its CAC increase by 33% in FY22 but the number 
of repeat customers increased by 67%, meaning those 
shoppers are returning to its site to shop. The investment 
in the Customer Data Platform in FY22 has created a more 
automated way to talk to customers and offers them a more 
personalised and seamless shopping experience. 

HGA also launched its new online corporate ordering 
tool, which will transform the way corporates shop with us, 
allowing them a seamless online experience.  HGA had an 
excellent Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 74 and we intend to 
leverage our strong brands to reduce customer acquisition 
costs and drive our NPS and repeat customer rate.

With an engaged audience of over 900k for our e-commerce 
businesses, we are looking forward to a solid FY23.

Underlying growth trajectory to continue in FY23, 
maintaining MBH’s high gross margin

With renewed focus on the Group’s growth assets, MBH 
has a clear path to sustained earnings and revenue growth, 
with Australian premium brands that remain on-trend 
with consumers. FY23 will see our Continuing Operations 
continue to grow with:

n    Renewed focus on expanding the ranging of core and 

new products for MBP and HGA. We intend to leverage 
our strong brands to reduce customer acquisition costs, 
drive repeat customers and increase our NPS.

n    Finalise the divestment of the Dairy Assets in the  

near term.

n    COVID-19 lockdowns in FY22 will make it difficult to cycle 

growth in some months however we expect revenue 
growth to continue across FY23, through our diversified 
channels of retail and e-commerce.

n    Cashflow increases substantially in Q2 FY23,  

with no debt**.

Operations Report

In addition to the financial metrics of the Group highlighted 
already, the below outlines some of the key operational 
challenges and opportunities for FY22, including 
Continuing and Discontinued Operations.

Price increases implemented to offset cost inflation

Like the majority of businesses, MBH experienced 
cost increases from global events and inflationary cost 
pressures.  The Group has been successful in implementing 
price increases across its retail and e-commerce platforms 
to help reduce the impact of these cost increase.  We are 
continuing to monitor cost increases and will implement 
further price increases where sensible and necessary.

Working capital

Working capital timing changed in FY22, with inventory 
peaking earlier than previous years to avoid supply chain 
delays and disruptions.  Inventory is expected to reduce to 
more normal levels between now and Christmas 22. 

Inventory has been carefully timed so that long life 
products such as packaging, alcohol/champagne, 
homewares, pamper and wellness items have arrived and 
are packed into finished goods.

Any food items with a shorter shelf are locally sourced and 
arrive just in time for Christmas production. 

Benefits from the HGA transaction

We successfully completed the integration of HGA into 
the Group in H1 FY22, which involved an expansion of the 
Sydney warehouse to optimise operational efficiencies.  
MBH’s e-commerce business is now fully managed by HGA 
from Sydney, including pick/pack, dispatch and customer 
service.  This has improved dispatch and delivery times.  
In FY22 HGA included $1.1 million of MBP products in its 
hampers, growing group sales and brand awareness. A 
strong cultural alignment exists across both businesses.

Expanding ranging and launching new products

In FY22 we expanded ranging of our core lines and 
launched new products in both e-commerce and retail.

MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LTD  |  ANNUAL REPORT  |  2022 
1515

Inventory at 30 June 2022 was $15.8 million (30 June 2021: 
$8.5 million) or 21% of annualised sales (FY20: 27.2%), with 
HGA holding $9.5 million (30 June 2021: $4.3 million) and 
Maggie Beer Products holding $6.3 million (30 June: $3.3 
million).  

Overall working capital for the company is at circa 22% of 
sales, a decrease of 7 points compared to 30 June 2021, 
due to the full 12 months of net sales from HGA.

The management team’s disciplined approach to working 
capital and the group’s cash management will continue.

Positive outlook for continued growth 

With its strong financial position MBH will continue to grow 
its retail grocery businesses, with new product launches 
and increased ranging as well as growing its e-commerce 
businesses through strategic marketing investment of its 
premium hamper and gifting range.   With a renewed focus 
on its Continuing Operations MBH is excited about its future. 

“

“This decision means Maggie 
Beer Products (MBP) and 
Hampers & Gifts Australia 
(HGA) are now the two core 
business units forming our 
Continuing Operations.”

- REG WEI NE,  CH AIRMAN

Corporate  

Shared services and corporate office costs of $2.8 million 
(excluding one-off items) were $0.8 million higher 
than FY21, with the investment in a People, Culture & 
Performance Manager, Group Sales Manager and some 
other key roles, as we get the group ready for its next stage 
of growth.

Balance Sheet and Cashflows

The main change in the balance sheet in FY22 is the 
decision to treat Paris Creek Farms and St David Dairy 
as Assets Held for Sale (Discontinued Operations).  As 
part of this decision the Board assessed the fair value of 
these assets, which took into consideration current market 
conditions, offers received for the assets and business 
trading conditions of the assets. St David Dairy experienced 
a significant downturn in performance in the second half 
of FY22.  This included the impact of considerable quality 
issues in March 22 which resulted in lost customers which 
combined with ongoing impacts from COVID-19 had a 
material impact on its trading performance and business 
valuation.  Paris Creek Farms was impacted by lower milk 
volume throughput due to the loss of a private label white 
milk contract in March 21, coupled with the delay of the 
launch of its 2L white milk range into a major retailer in 
NSW and VIC from March 22 to Q1 FY23.  These events 
lowered overhead recoveries, earnings and overall 
business valuation. Both businesses were also impacted 
by adverse local and global events which increased costs 
and created inflationary pressures that were largely outside 
the control of MBH. These considerations have led to an 
impairment of intangible and tangible assets of $17.5m. 

The Group is supported by a strong balance sheet with 
net assets at 30 June 2022 of $90.9 million (30 June 2021: 
$102.8 million), including a cash balance of $10.8 million 
(30 June 2021: $13.6 million). The decrease in group net 
assets is mainly due to the impairment of Dairy Assets 
to fair value less cost of disposal.  Net tangible assets 
increased by $4.2 million to $28.6 million (30 June 2021: 
$24.4 million).

The positive operating cashflow result of $0.7 million ($30 
June 2021: $1.5 million) includes a net outflow of $2.3 
million used in the operating activities of the Dairy Assets 
held for sale (30 June 2021: $0.6 million net inflow). In 
addition to the increase (approx. $8 million) of inventory 
purchased earlier in FY22 compared to previous years.

Environmental, Sustainability 
and Governance

OUR COMMITMENT TO  OUR S E LV E S  A N D   OU R  C O MM U NI TY

As a proudly Australian owned company, Maggie Beer 
Holdings is always looking for ways to help support 
our employees, the local communities as well as our 
environment. We use Australian ingredients and materials 
wherever possible, with a focus on sustainability, reduced 
food waste and innovation to ensure we are building a 
better future for generations to come.

Our aim is to make products that people love, in a sustainable 
way and staying true to our values: by being Passionate, 
Nimble, Ambitious, Inclusive and Community Focussed.

The purpose of this report is to outline our approach to 
Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG). It 
explores what we’ve done to strengthen positive outcomes 
with our team, our customers, stakeholders and our 
community.

Our Values

In FY22 an initiative to develop Maggie Beer Holdings 
Group values “Recipe for Success” was undertaken. This 
involved engaging with all employees, leaders and the Board. 
Following this extensive consultation and a review of all 
perspectives, Maggie Beer Holding’s values were articulated, 
endorsed by the Board and launched. The new values have 
now been embedded throughout the organisation. 

We create premium, innovative & memorable food, beverage 
and gifting products of the highest quality that match people’s 
every-changing shopping habits and lifestyles by being:
3  Passionate
3  Nimble
3  Ambitious
3  Inclusive
3  Community Focused

Further, an Employee Value Proposition was developed, to 
help attract and retain employees with goals and values that 
are in alignment with our organisational goals and values.

People and Culture - Access and Equity  

Our People and our culture are two of our most important 
assets.  In addition to the below initiatives, our employees 
have access to an Employee Assistance Program which gives 
them counselling services for any issues that arise in their or 
their family’s lives.  This has been a key part of our employee 
support program during the past two years.    

Employment Hero 

The implementation of our new Human Resources 
Information System ‘Employment Hero’ has provided 
equitable access to all employees to corporate information 
and has increased employee engagement and participation, 
through the ability to access the system and important 
information via any electronic device, together with 
conducting employee engagement surveys and employee 
annual reviews within the system.  

This system will also enable us to better monitor, measure and 
report on our workforce, including diversity.  

Reward and Recognition program 

Maggie Beer Holdings is developing an employee reward 
and recognition program, designed to recognise employees 
for their achievements in contributing to our Recipe for 
Success and enhance the employee experience. Recognising 
employees for their contributions at work, makes them feel 
appreciated and valued. This reinforces positive behaviour 
while boosting morale, increasing productivity, loyalty, 
wellbeing, strengthening working relationships and reducing 
employee turnover and absenteeism. 

As part of our contributions to the community, aligned to our 
values, we encourage and support our people to contribute 
to the welfare of others, by the generous donation of money 
and time. Our Reward and Recognition program will include a 
workplace giving element through offering volunteering days 
to our employees. 

To support the measurement of initiatives put in place, we 
can conduct employee pulse and engagement surveys with 
our people regularly, via Employment Hero. The results are 
reviewed with a summary given to employees at Company 
updates, along with action planning to continually retain/
improve the employee experience.

Inclusion partnerships

Maggie Beer Holdings is in discussions with several 
organisations to partner with and put in place diversity and 
inclusion programs and action plans with the aim to:

n    provide job ready work skill opportunities for people  

with disabilities.

n    create meaningful connections and engagement with 

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island communities.

Governance policies

Governance policies and procedures are in place at Maggie 
Beer Holdings to provide clear directions and intended 
practices that are consistent with the organisation’s values and 
culture. They are based on integrity and fairness and outline 
clear ethical guidelines and terms of required roles, treatment 
and conduct of Board members and employees.

Included in the set of Governance policies are:

In addition to producing our dairy products with milk from 
carbon neutral dairy farms, Paris Creek Farms also uses 
100% recyclable packaging, has solar panels installed at its 
processing facility and repurposes all of its wastewater into 
organic compost and mulch via a local sustainable business  

Maggie Beer Products also places a focus on sustainable 
production, having recently updated the pots and lids of our 
core Fruit Paste and Pate range so they are 100% recyclable. 
Maggie Beer Products will now investigate the potential to 
utilise recycled materials to create these pots and lids as well 
as our overwraps, reducing our use of virgin packaging.

The Hamper Emporium ensures that its hamper packaging 
is made from recyclable materials wherever possible.  Where 
we cannot have recyclable materials, we give the consumers 
instructions on how to separate this from the rest of the 
hamper when recycling.  We have strategically created the 
layout of each hamper to avoid the use of fillers and padding, 
which reduces the amount of waste from each hamper.

Sustainability 

At Maggie Beer Holdings, we strive to lead the way in 
the ethical and sustainable production of food, beverage 
and gifting products, with the Group making significant 
improvements in FY22. 

As of February 2022, the milk that is used to produce Paris 
Creek Farms’ range of 100% organic dairy products now 
comes entirely from carbon neutral dairy farms, putting the 
business at the forefront of sustainable primary production. 
With one dairy already carbon neutral in their own right due to 
the regenerative nature of bio-dynamic organic farming and 
the remaining dairies initially supported through the purchase 
of carbon credits, the launch of this milk from carbon neutral 
dairy farms is a key part of the business’s sustainability journey, 
reducing our carbon footprint and helping to fight climate 
change. 

The Group has a strict policy on reducing food waste by 
donating any unwanted or short shelf-life product to Food 
Bank, OzHarvest and Second Bite so that it can support those 
in need, in our community.

important asset and looking

health has been a priority over

Risk 
Management

KEY RISKS A ND MITIGA NTS

The Group’s approach to risk management is addressed  
in the Corporate Governance Statement, which is available 
on the Group’s website www.maggiebeerholdings.com.au/
investors/corporate-governance/. The Board is responsible 
for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified 
on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and 
activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities 
identified by the Board. The Board has a number of 
mechanisms in place to ensure that management’s 
objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified 
by the Board. These include the following:

n    Board approval of strategic plans designed to meet 
stakeholders’ needs and manage business risk; and

n    implementation of Board approved operating plans 

and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against 
these budgets, including monitoring of financial and 
non-financial key performance indicators (“KPIs”).

As part of its risk management framework, the Group has 
identified the following key material business risks that 
may affect the Group’s financial performance:

n    a prolonged deterioration in general economic 

conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and 
other international events, resulting in a sustained 
downturn in consumer spending and in the food and 
beverages retail industry generally;

n    continued cost increases and disruption to global supply 
chains impacting retail orders and customer deliveries;

n   shortages of raw materials;

n   food quality health and safety issues; and

n    the ability to attract and retain employees with relevant 

food industry experience.

The Company seeks to mitigate the key material business 
risks it faces through a number of actions and initiatives 
including strong quality and safety assurance systems, 
engaging, motivating and retaining highly skilled staff, 
fostering a culture committed to food and people safety, 
investing in branding and marketing and in the quality 
of our relationships with key customers, growing and 
diversify our customer base, and where practicable 
holding relevant insurances to further mitigate key risks.

statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter

during, the year ended 30 June 2022.

Non-IFRS measures

The directors’ report includes references to Non-IFRS financial 
measures such as Trading EBITDA. Trading EBITDA has been

operating performance of the group. Trading EBITDA is used 
as a measure of financial performance by excluding non-

Review of operations

Operating results for the year

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for 
income tax amounted to ($12.5 million) (30 June 2021: profit 
of $1.9 million). This is due to a $17.5 million impairment of 
tangible and intangible dairy assets.

Financial Position

The net assets of the consolidated entity decreased by  
$11.9 million to $90.9 million (30 June 2021: $102.8 million). 
This decrease was mainly due to impairment and write-down 
of intangible and tangible dairy assets.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

On 2 August 2021, Chantale Millard was appointed as a 
director of the board.

On 22 June 2022, the group announced the appointment 
of advisors in relation to the non-core dairy assets and 
initiated an active program to locate potential buyers for 
the dairy assets being Paris Creek Farms and St David Dairy. 
The associated assets and liabilities were consequently 
presented as held for sale and discontinued operations in 
the FY22 financial statements.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs 
of the consolidated entity during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

On 3 August 2022, the group entered into exclusive 
negotiations for the sale of St David Dairy with the intended 
transaction to be completed in the near term.

On 19 August 2022, the group entered into exclusive 
negotiations for the sale of Paris Creek Farms with the 
intended transaction to be completed in the near term.

Subsequent to year-end, the Board has proposed to 
recommend a Return of Capital of 1.0c per share, subject to 
shareholder approval at the 2022 AGM.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 
2022 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect 
the consolidated entity’s operations, the results of those 
operations, or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in 
future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The future developments of the consolidated entity 
includes leveraging the strength of each brand, growing 
the distribution points for each business, launching new 
products, creating further synergies across the group and 
driving brand awareness through targeted marketing 
campaigns.

Information on these developments is included in the review 
of operations and activities.

Environmental regulation

The company takes a proactive approach in relation to the 
management of environmental matters. Paris Creek Farms 
is licenced under the Environment Protection Act 1993 
to undertake milk processing works. In accordance with 
customary wastewater management practices for a dairy 
facility, wastewater generated by the plant is tanked offsite 
and fully utilised by a business local to Paris Creek Farms, 
which includes the wastewater in its organic compost matter. 
The EPA has approved Paris Creek Farms’ action plans in 
regard to wastewater generated at the site. 

All other significant environmental risks have been reviewed 
and the group has no other legal obligation to take 
corrective action in respect of any environmental matter.

Non-executive Director

Experience and expertise: 

Maggie Beer’s career in the food industry 
spans over 40 years, beginning as a farmer 
at the Pheasant Farm in 1979, whereby the

after a nationally acclaimed restaurant, 
followed by a commercial food production 
business, Maggie Beer Products.

Maggie was Telstra South Australia 
Business Woman of the Year in 1997,

doctorate of Flinders University in 2022 
in recognition for her services to the 
food industry. In addition to this, Maggie 
established the Maggie Beer Foundation 
in 2014 to improve the food experiences 
for older Australians, particularly those 
living within aged care homes.

Maggie Beer joined the board of the 
consolidated entity as part of the acquisition 
of Maggie Beer Products Pty Ltd by

Executive remuneration

The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based 
on their position and responsibility, with a level and 
mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable 
components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has 
four components:

n    fixed annual remuneration (FAR) comprising base salary, 

superannuation and other non-monetary benefits.

n    annual short-term performance incentives (STI),  

paid in cash.

n    long term incentives (LTI) awarded in equity and 

expensed as share-based payments.

n    other remuneration costs such as long service leave.

The combination of these comprises the executive’s total 
remuneration.

Fixed Annual Remuneration

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, 
superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed 
annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee 
based on individual and business unit performance, 
the overall performance of the consolidated entity and 
comparable market executive remuneration.

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form 
of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle 
benefits, with FBT grossed up on a Total Employment Cost 
basis) where it does not create any additional costs to the 
consolidated entity and provides additional value to the 
executive.

Principles used to determine the nature  
and amount of remuneration

The senior executive remuneration policy is designed to 
strengthen the alignment between performance related 
remuneration and shareholder returns, ensuring that 
remuneration outcomes for senior executives are directly 
linked to performance (both Group and individual) in a 
manner that is aligned to shareholder interest.  

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is 
responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration 
arrangements for its directors and executives. The 
performance of the consolidated entity depends on the 
quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration 
philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high 
performance and high-quality personnel.

Reviews are conducted by the Remuneration & Nomination 
Committee (and recommendations made to the Board) to 
assess Group performance, team performance, individual 
contribution as well as market remuneration based on the 
executive’s position within the organisation. The Board 
ensures that all executive rewards are market competitive, 
fair and reasonable, have an appropriate mix and ‘at risk’ 
remuneration linked to performance in a transparent 
framework.

No external specialist remuneration advice was sought in 
respect of remuneration arrangements for non-executive 
directors of the Board and key management personnel of 
the group during the year however external advice was 
sought for the remuneration of key management personnel 
during the year. General reward advice is sought also on an 
ad hoc basis.  

Each non-executive director receives $65,000 annually for 
being a director of the company and an additional $10,000 
annually for chairing committees. Director fees are inclusive 
of superannuation entitlements (if applicable). All non-
executive directors except Tom Kiing and the company’s 
Chairman elected to receive their fees in shares in the 
company up until December 2021. This was approved  
by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on  
16 July 2020. The maximum director aggregate fee pool  
is $600,000.

Directors’ Report, cont.

Short Term Incentives 

The short-term incentive (STI) program is designed to align the identified key performance targets of the Company and 
business units with the targets of those executives responsible for meeting those targets. Short-term incentives are used to 
differentiate rewards based on performance on a year-by-year basis. The principal performance indicator of the STI Program 
is the group’s financial performance. The financial performance measurements selected are revenue growth and trading 
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (trading EBITDA), together with key projects and milestones for 
each specific year. They have been selected by the Board as the most appropriate measures of trading performance, and are 
calculated based on a percentage above a revenue and trading EBITDA threshold level and on the achievement of projects 
within specified timeframes. This allows the individual to be rewarded for growth in revenue and profitability of the company 
or their responsible business unit. The percentage and threshold level can differ for each individual and are reviewed every 
year. The revenue and trading EBITDA thresholds are determined based on the ability of the key management personnel to 
influence the group’s earnings and to ensure alignment between executive remuneration and company performance.

Executive KMP short term incentives for FY22 and the relative achievement were as follows:

*A performance gate applies for the CEO which states that if trading EBITDA does not achieve 95% of target, all STI can be withheld. The Board exercised its discretion to pay up to 30% of 

the total STI available, due to sales hurdle of $98m (including revenue from discontinued operations) being met, and the completion of some key projects during FY22 in what was a very 

disruptive year. The trading EBITDA for FY22 was negatively impacted by local and global events causing increased costs and inflationary pressures that were largely outside the control of 

MBH and impacted the CEO’s and CFO’s ability to achieve their full STI targets’.

The STI award is determined after the end of the financial year following a review of performance over the year by the 
Remuneration and Nominations Committee. The Board approves the final STI award, which is paid after the annual audited 
accounts are signed.

Long Term Incentives

The objectives of the long-term incentive (LTI) plans are to: 

n    establish a method by which eligible participants can participate in the future growth and profitability of the Group;

n   provide an incentive and reward to recognise eligible participants for their contributions to the Group; and

n   attract and retain a high standard of managerial and experienced personnel for the benefit of the Group. 

The Group currently has two long term incentive plans: the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) under which share options 
are granted and the Performance Rights Plan (PR Plan) under which performance rights are granted to employees.. The 
long-term incentives are awarded in equity, subject to performance conditions. Performance Rights and options have been 
awarded to selected executives with vesting subject to service and performance over a period of three years. At present the 
LTI is linked directly to trading EBITDA hurdles, which are linked to increasing shareholder value.

Options will lapse if performance conditions are not met. Options will be forfeited on 
cessation of employment unless the board determines otherwise, e.g. in the case of 
retirement due to injury, disability, death or redundancy. 

Purpose

The options were granted to the CEO on 7 August 2020 with performance hurdles 
linked to improving the financial performance of the Company and tested over a 3-year 
performance period. The CEO was not issued any options during the year ended 30 June 
2022. The Board believes the three-year LTI for the CEO was appropriate at that time as it 
was aligned with the strategic objective of leading a restructure and revitalisation of the 
Group’s businesses and establishing a firm foundation for growth. The retention aspect 
of the options granted to the CEO will end on 1 July 2023, the vesting date of Tranche 3 
and the Board intends to establish a program of annual grants going forward. The Board 
intends to present for approval a market contemporary long-term incentive plan for the

Purpose 

The options were granted to Mr Weine on 16 July 2020 under the Company’s ESOP 
as part of his remuneration arrangements in relation to his role as the Company’s new 
Chairman. Shareholder approval was received for the grant of options at the General 
Meeting held in 16 July 2020. The Board was of the view that in order to attract a 
chairman of Mr Weine’s calibre, the cash component of the Chairman’s fee of $66,000 
per annum needed to be appropriately augmented with a one-off grant of options. With 
a strong background in FMCG, the Board was unanimously of the view that Mr Weine’s 
appointment added considerable value to the Company in terms of strategic direction 
and discipline.

to the MBH Group and contribution to the restructure and rebuild of the Group. Tranche 
2 of the Performance Rights was not achieved as the group’s performance hurdles were 
not achieved. Future performance rights allocations are based on trading EBITDA  and 
continuous employment hurdles. Objectives of granting the LTI to the CFO include to 
provide an incentive and to reward the CFO for his contribution to the Group as well  
as to serve as a retention mechanism for the benefit of the Group.

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration

A component of remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. A portion 
of cash bonus and incentive payments are dependent on defined earnings per share targets being met. The remaining portion 
of the cash bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Refer to the 
section ‘Additional information’ below for details of the earnings and total shareholders return for the last five years.

Voting and comments made at the company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’)

At the 2021 AGM, 99.46% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 
2021. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices

Executive contracts

The remuneration and other terms of employment for executives are covered in formal employment contracts that have 
no fixed terms. The group may terminate an executive’s employment contract immediately for cause, in which case the 
executive is not entitled to any payment other than the value of total fixed remuneration (and accrued entitlements) up to 
the termination date. Executive KMP contracts have a notice period of 2-3 months by either the employee or company.

Indemnity and insurance of officers

Indemnity and insurance of auditor

The company has indemnified the directors and executives 
of the company for costs incurred, in their capacity as a 
director or executive, for which they may be held personally 
liable, except where there is a lack of good faith.

The company has not, during or since the end of the 
financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the 
auditor of the company or any related entity against a 
liability incurred by the auditor.

The company has indemnified each director referred to in 
this report, the company secretary and previous directors 
and secretaries (officers) against all liabilities or loss (other 
than to the company or a related body corporate) that may 
arise from their position as officers of the company and its 
controlled entities, except where the liability arises out of 
conduct involving a lack of good faith or indemnification is 
otherwise not permitted under the Corporations Act. The 
indemnity stipulates that the company will meet the full 
amount of any such liabilities, including costs and expenses, 
and covers a period of seven years after ceasing to be an 
officer of the company. 

The company has also indemnified the current and previous 
directors of its controlled entities and certain members 
of the company’s senior management for all liabilities 
and loss (other than to the company or a related body 
corporate) that may arise from their position, except where 
the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good 
faith or indemnification is otherwise not permitted under the 
Corporations Act.

The company has executed deeds of indemnity in favour 
of each non-executive director of the company and certain 
non-executive directors of related bodies corporate of the 
company as well as with the company secretary.

The company has paid insurance premiums in respect 
of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance contracts, for 
officers of the company and of its controlled entities. The 
insurance cover is on standard industry terms and provides 
cover for loss and liability for wrongful acts in relation to the 
relevant person’s role as an officer, except that cover is not 
provided for loss in relation to officers gaining any profit or 
advantage to which they were not legally entitled, or officers 
committing any criminal, dishonest, fraudulent or malicious 
act or omission, or any knowing or wilful violation of any 
statute or regulation. Cover is also only provided for fines 
and penalties in limited circumstances and up to a small 
financial limit. 

The insurance does not provide cover for the independent 
auditors of the company or of a related body corporate of 
the company.

In accordance with usual commercial practice, the insurance 
contract prohibits disclosure of details of the nature of the 
liabilities covered by the insurance, the limit of indemnity 
and the amount of the premium paid under the contract.

During the financial year, the company has not paid a 
premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the 
company or any related entity.

Proceedings on behalf of the company

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of 
the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on 
behalf of the company, or to intervene in any proceedings 
to which the company is a party for the purpose of taking 
responsibility on behalf of the company for all or part of 
those proceedings.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
30 June 2022

NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 

Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report 
that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations, the Corporations Act 2001 
and complies with other requirements of the law.

The financial report covers the company and controlled 
entities. The company is a public company, incorporated and 
domiciled in Australia. 

For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial 
statements, the company is a for-profit entity.

The financial report includes the consolidated financial 
statements of the group and is referred to as the group or 
consolidated entity. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in 
accordance with a resolution of directors, on 24 August 
2022. The directors have the power to amend and reissue 
the financial statements.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation 
of the financial statements are set out either in the respective 
notes or below. These policies have been consistently 
applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and  
Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or 
amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued 
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that 
are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any amendments did not have any impact on the amounts 
recognised in prior periods and are not expected to 
significantly affect the current or future periods.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or 
Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been 
early adopted.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going 
concern basis, which assumes the continuity of normal 
business activities, and the realisation of assets and the 
settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The company expects its normal cash flows over the next 12 
months from the date of signing to be sufficient to continue 
as a going concern.

These general purpose financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations 
Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. 
These financial statements also comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’).

The presentation and functional currency of the group is 
Australian dollars.

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the 
historical cost convention.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the 
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of 
applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. The 
areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, 
or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to 
the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these 
financial statements present the results of the consolidated 
entity only. Supplementary information about the parent 
entity is disclosed in note 28.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets 
and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Maggie Beer Holdings 
Ltd (‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2022 and the 
results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Maggie 
Beer Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred 
to in these financial statements as the ‘consolidated entity’.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the 
consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity 
controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed 
to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement 
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns 
through its power to direct the activities of the entity. 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which 
control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-
consolidated from the date that control ceases.

A controlled entity is any entity the company has the power 
over and is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its 
involvement in the entity, and has the ability to use its power 
to affect its returns.

MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LTD  |  ANNUAL REPORT  |  2022 
A list of controlled entities is contained in note 30 to the 
financial statements. 

All inter-company balances and transactions between 
entities in the consolidated entity, including any recognised 
profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. 
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed 
where necessary to ensure consistency with those policies 
applied by the parent entity.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the 
consolidated entity during the year, their operating results 
have been included/excluded from the date control was 
obtained or until the date control ceased. 

The investments in controlled entities are measured at cost 
in the parent entity’s financial statements.

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments 
are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to 
recognise the group’s share of the post-acquisition profits 
or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the group’s 
share of movements in other comprehensive income of 
the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends 
received or receivable from associates and joint ventures 
are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the 
investment.

Where the group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted 
investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, 
including any other unsecured long-term receivables, 
the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has 
incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the 
other entity.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its 
associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of 
the group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are 
also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of 
an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies 
of equity-accounted investees have been changed where 
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted 
by the group.

The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests 
that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with 
equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest 
results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of 
the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their 
relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between 
the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests 
and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a 
separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of the 
consolidated entity.

45

When the group ceases to consolidate or equity account 
for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control 
or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity 
is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying 
amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes 
the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently 
accounting for the retained interest as an associate, 
joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts 
previously recognised in other comprehensive income in 
respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had 
directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This 
may mean that amounts previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is 
reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, 
only a proportionate share of the amounts previously 
recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified 
to profit or loss where appropriate.

Revenue recognition

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Sale of goods - retail and online

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised to the extent 
that the group satisfies its single performance obligation 
to transfer agreed goods and the transaction price can be 
readily identified. All revenue is recognised at a point in time 
when control of the goods is transferred to the customer i.e. 
when the goods are delivered to the customer. Revenue is 
measured at the fair value of the consideration received or 
receivable being the amount to which the entity expects to 
be entitled to in exchange for goods. Amounts disclosed as 
revenue are net of discounts, trade allowances and rebates, 
and does not include revenue from discontinued operations.

All revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at a point 
in time.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the 
effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest 
income over the relevant period using the effective interest 
rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future 
cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset 
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the 
right to receive payment is established.

Income tax

The charge for current income tax expense/(benefit) is 
based on the profit/(loss) for the year adjusted for any non-
assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax 
rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by 
the statement of financial position date.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONT.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of financial 
position liability method in respect of temporary differences 
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their 
carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred 
income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of 
an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where 
there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to 
apply to the period when the asset is recognised or liability 
is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the profit or loss except 
where it relates to items that may be credited directly to 
equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly 
against equity.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary 
differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those 
temporary differences and losses.

The company and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries 
have formed an income tax consolidated group under the 
tax consolidation regime. Each entity in the group recognised 
its own current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any 
deferred tax assets resulting from unused tax losses and 
tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the parent 
entity. The current tax liability of each group entity is then 
subsequently assumed by the parent entity. The group 
entered into the tax consolidation regime from 1st June 2006 
and notified the Australian Taxation Office that it had formed 
an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1st June 
2006. The tax will be paid by the parent entity as the group 
has not entered into a tax funding agreement. The company is 
the designated parent entity for tax consolidation purposes.

Right-of-use assets

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement 
date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, 
which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, 
adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or 
before the commencement date net of any lease incentives 
received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where 
included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs 
expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the 
underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the 
consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the 
leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is 
over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject 
to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease 
liabilities.

Lease liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date 
of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the 
present value of the lease payments to be made over the 

term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit 
in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, 
the consolidated entity’s incremental borrowing rate. 
Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease 
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend 
on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under 
residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase 
option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain 
to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The 
variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or 
a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are 
remeasured if there is a change in the following: future 
lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate 
used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase 
option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is 
remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding 
right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount 
of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

The group has not applied any practical expedients for lease 
liabilities.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement 
of financial position based on current and non-current 
classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected 
to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the 
consolidated entity’s normal operating cycle; it is held 
primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be 
realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the 
asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being 
exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months 
after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as 
non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected 
to be settled in the consolidated entity’s normal operating 
cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due 
to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or 
there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the 
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All 
other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as 
non-current.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date 
a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently 
remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The 
accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends 
on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging 
instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

Derivatives are classified as current or non-current 
depending on the expected period of realisation.

MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LTD  |  ANNUAL REPORT  |  2022NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 202247

Cash flow hedges

Discontinued operations

Cash flow hedges are used to cover the consolidated entity’s 
exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to 
particular risks associated with a recognised asset or liability 
or a firm commitment which could affect profit or loss. 
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging 
instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income 
through the cash flow hedges reserve in equity, whilst the 
ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts 
taken to equity are transferred out of equity and included 
in the measurement of the hedged transaction when the 
forecast transaction occurs.

Cash flow hedges are tested for effectiveness on a regular 
basis both retrospectively and prospectively to ensure 
that each hedge is highly effective and continues to be 
designated as a cash flow hedge. If the forecast transaction 
is no longer expected to occur, the amounts recognised in 
equity are transferred to profit or loss.

If the hedging instrument is sold, terminated, expires, 
exercised without replacement or rollover, or if the hedge 
becomes ineffective and is no longer a designated hedge, 
the amounts previously recognised in equity remain in 
equity until the forecast transaction occurs.

Non-current assets or disposal groups classified  
as held for sale

Non-current assets and assets of disposal groups are 
classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be 
recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than 
through continued use. They are measured at the lower of 
their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal. 
For non-current assets or assets of disposal groups to 
be classified as held for sale, they must be available for 
immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must 
be highly probable.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or 
subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets 
of disposal groups to fair value less costs of disposal. A gain 
is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value 
less costs of disposal of a non-current assets and assets 
of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative 
impairment loss previously recognised.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised 
while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other 
expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale 
continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets 
of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented 
separately on the face of the statement of financial position, 
in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified 
as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the 
statement of financial position, in current liabilities.

A discontinued operation is a component of the 
consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is classified 
as held for sale and that represents a separate major line 
of business or geographical area of operations, is part 
of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of 
business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired 
exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued 
operations are presented separately on the face of the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the 
carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to 
determine whether there is any indication that those assets 
have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication 
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated 
in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if 
any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that 
are independent from other assets, the consolidated entity 
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating 
unit to which the asset belongs.

Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and 
intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for 
impairment annually and whenever there is an indication 
that the asset may be impaired. An impairment of goodwill is 
not subsequently reversed.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs 
of disposal and value in use. 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 for which the estimates of future cash 
flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating 
unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the 
carrying amount of the asset (cash generating unit) is 
reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss 
is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the 
carrying amount of the asset (cash generating unit) is 
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, 
but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount 
does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been 
determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the 
asset (cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an 
impairment loss is recognised in income.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONT.

Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities.

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially 
measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method, with 
interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest 
expense over the relevant period. The effective interest 
rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash 
payments through the expected life of the financial liability, 
or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying 
amount on initial recognition.

The group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only 
when, the group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or 
they expire.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible 
notes are allocated to the liability and equity components 
in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. 
Transaction costs relating to the equity component are 
recognised directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to 
the liability component are included in the carrying amount 
of the liability component and are amortised over the lives of 
the convertible notes using the effective interest method.

Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the 
amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred 
is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these 
circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. 
Receivables and payables in the statement of financial 
position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on 
a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising 
from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable 
from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as part 
of operating cash flows.

Rounding of amounts

The company is of a kind referred to in Corporations 
Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and 
Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts 
in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that 
Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or 
in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

NOTE 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, 
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements requires 
management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the 
financial statements. Management continually evaluates its 
judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, 
contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management 
bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on 
historical experience and on other various factors, including 
expectations of future events, management believes to 
be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting 
accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal 
the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
(refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year 
are discussed below.

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently 
if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, 
whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible 
assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with 
the accounting policy stated in note 14. The recoverable 
amounts of cash-generating units have been determined 
based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations 
require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount 
rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of 
the estimated future cash flows.

Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

The fair value of assets held for sale are recognised at the 
lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost of 
disposal. The fair value less cost of disposal is based on 
offers received subsequent to the financial year and any 
anticipated costs management are aware of.

Business combinations

As discussed in note 29, the business combinations 
accounting as at 30 June 2022 has been finalised, in the 
30 June 2021 financial statements they were determined 
on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets acquired, 
liabilities and contingent liabilities has been finalised by the 
consolidated entity taking into consideration all available 
information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments 
on the finalisation of the business combination accounting 
is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the 
combination occurred and may have an impact on the assets 
and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported.

NOTE 4. OPERATING SEGMENTS 

Identification of reportable operating segments

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the consolidated 
entity that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO’) in order to allocate resources to the segment and to 
assess its performance.  

There are currently two operating segments under the criteria set out in AASB 8, being Maggie Beer Products Pty Ltd (“MBP”) 
and Hampers & Gifts Australia Pty Ltd (“HGA”) and other corporate costs. Paris Creek Farms and St David Dairy are classified as 
discontinued operations and no longer disclosed as an operating segment. Refer to note 7 for further information.

Information regarding these segments is set out below.

Accounting policy for discontinued operations 

A discontinued operation is a component of the consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale 
and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated 
plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. 
The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income. 

Accounting policy for fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, 
the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place 
either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming 
they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best 
use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure 
fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Accounting policy for trade and other receivables

Trade receivables and other receivables are all classified as financial assets held at amortised cost.

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method, less a loss allowance provision. The carrying value of trade and other receivables, less loss allowance provisions, is 
considered to approximate fair value, due to the short term nature of the receivables.

The collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis with a further focus in this financial year on 
collection risk following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Individual debts which are known to be uncollectable are 
written off when identified. The group recognises a loss allowance provision based upon anticipated lifetime losses of trade 
receivables. The anticipated losses are determined with reference to historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and 
forward-looking information and is regularly reviewed and updated. This includes general macroeconomic indicators such as 
RBA cash rate and GDP growth.

Trade receivables are generally due for settlement between 30 and 60 days. 

Credit risks related to receivables

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a ‘first in first 
out’ basis. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and other taxes, an appropriate 
proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity, and, where applicable, transfers 
from cash flow hedging reserves in equity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts 
received or receivable.

Stock in transit is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of 
rebates and discounts received or receivable.

Stock on hand is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of 
rebates and discounts received or receivable.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and 
the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Accounting policy for property, plant and equipment 

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation. 

Impairment expense 

Impairment expense relates to assets held for sale during the year which was measured at the lower of its carrying amount 
and fair value less cost to sell at the time of reclassification, resulting in the recognition of a write-down of $4.112 million as 
impairment expense in the statement of profit or loss. The fair value of the assets was determined based on the fair value less 
cost to sell. 

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable 
amount from these assets.

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including recognised lease assets is depreciated on a straight line or diminishing 
value basis over their useful lives to the group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold 
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the 
improvements. 

The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:

Motor vehicles

Plant and equipment

Building and leasehold improvements

5 years

4 to 20 years

10 to 33 years

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each 
reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the 
consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

* The cost of the brand intangible asset consists of $4.7 million allocated to the Maggie Beer Products CGU and $9.4 million allocated to the Hampers

** The cost of the customer contract intangible asset consists of $1.6 million allocated to the Maggie Beer Products CGU and $4.9 million allocated to the  
Hampers & Gifts Australia CGU as at 30 June 2022.

Goodwill was acquired as a result of business combinations entered during the FY21, refer to note 29 for details.

Accounting policy for intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at 
the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets 
are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently 
measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the 
derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of 
the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected 
pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

Accounting policy for goodwill

Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that control is acquired (the acquisition date). 
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests 
in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the 
acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.   

If, after reassessment, the group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the 
consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s 
previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income as a bargain purchase gain.

NOTE 14. NON-CURRENT ASSETS - INTANGIBLES, CONT

Maggie Beer Products

Revenue growth  

Revenue growth over the five-year period is based 
upon forecasted revenue on a business-as-usual basis 
and assumes no New Products Development (‘NPD’) or 
new geographies (in accordance with AASB 136). The 
starting point is an assessment of the market, leveraging 
industry reports and overlaying with known sales growth 
opportunities.

The average revenue growth over the forecast period is 
assumed at 10.73% per annum (compared with an actual 
growth rate of 21.03% in FY22). 

Costs  

Gross margin in FY23 is expecting to soften slightly from its 
FY22 levels, due to the increase in input costs, and is then 
assumed to remain flat for the remainder of the model’s 
period with the sales mix including increased higher margin 
from e-commerce sales. Raw material price increases 
are to be matched by price increases with retailers to 
offset. All fixed costs, including selling, administration and 
management labour, are modelled to grow at 2.0% a year, in 
line with the Reserve Bank of Australia’s inflation target range 
of 2–3 percent, on average, over time.

Long-term growth rate  

The long-term growth rate is the weighted average growth 
rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the modelled 
period. A long-term growth rate of 2.0% has been used in 
the value-in-use calculations, which is on the lower end of 
the long-term Reserve Bank of Australia’s inflation target 
range of 2–3 percent, on average, over time. 

Discount rate

The discount rate represents the current market assessment 
of the risks relating to the relevant CGU. In performing the 
value-in-use calculations for the CGU, the Group has applied 
a pre-tax discount rate of 16.37% per annum (11.46% post 
tax) for Maggie Beer Products. 

Review outcome 

In completing the impairment review based on the 
aforementioned, the value in use of the Maggie Beer 
Products business exceeded its carrying value by $4.2 
million.

Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment 
at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, 
goodwill is allocated to each of the group’s cash-generating 
units expected to benefit from the synergies of the 
combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has 
been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more 
frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be 
impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating 
unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is 
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill 
allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit 
pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in 
the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not 
reversed in a subsequent period.

On disposal of a subsidiary or when a subsidiary is disclosed 
as an asset held for sale, the attributable amount of goodwill is 
included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Intangible Assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and 
recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised 
at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded 
as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible 
assets acquired in a business combination are reported 
at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated 
impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets 
that are acquired separately. 

Recoverable amount of goodwill  

In accordance with AASB 136, impairment testing has 
been undertaken for all cash generating units (CGUs) with 
indefinite intangibles or where there is an indication of 
impairment. These impairment tests have been completed 
via a multiple scenario approach in response to significant 
uncertainties in the market.

At 30 June 2022, for Maggie Beer Products, the 
recoverable amounts have been determined based on 
value-in-use calculations which uses cash flow projections 
based on financial forecasts covering a five-year period, 
including changes in working capital and expenditure for 
maintenance. Cash flows are extrapolated using estimated 
growth rates beyond the five-year period.

Key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations for 
Maggie Beer Products is based on  management’s latest 
forecast for financial year 2023 and incorporating previous 
revenue growth, achievable margin, reasonable expense 
increases, capital expenditure for maintenance and entity 
specific long-term averages for the latter years.

In considering the outlook for Maggie Beer Products, 
and the specific impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, 
management considered a range of possible scenarios and 
have applied a probability weighting to each of these in 
order to determine an estimation of future cash flows which 
has a reasonable and appropriate basis.

Hampers & Gifts Australia 

The HGA business was purchased in May 2021 for a total upfront consideration of $40m, plus contingent consideration 
(earnout). As at 30 June 2022 the total net assets of HGA recognised was $51.7m comprising $40.9m of Goodwill.

Management has determined the recoverable amount of the Hampers and Gifts Australia (HGA) CGU by assessing the 
fair value less cost of disposal (FVLCOD) of the underlying assets. The valuation is considered to be level 2 in the fair value 
hierarchy due to unobservable inputs used in the valuation. Given the recent transaction, Management applied the actual 
EBITDA multiple to the FY23 forecast EBITDA in assessing the CGU’s recoverable amount. 

No impairment was identified.

Brand

Brands acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, 
being their finite life range of 5-20 years.

Customer contracts

Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected 
benefit, being their finite life range of 0-10 years.

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in 
proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the 
company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. 

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each 
share shall have one vote.

Share buy-back

There is no current on-market share buy-back.

Capital risk management

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated 
as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

The capital structure of the group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the 
parent, comprising issued capital, retained earnings and reserves. Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand the 
group’s assets, as well as to make the routine outflows of payables and tax. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2021 Annual Report.

Accounting policy for issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds.

Options reserve arises on the grant of share options to Directors and employees of the group under the group incentive option 
scheme. Amounts are transferred out of the reserve and into issued capital when the options are exercised. 

The company operates an ownership-based remuneration scheme through the Incentive Option Scheme, details of which are 
provided in note 34 to the financial statements. Other than minimal administration costs, which are expensed when incurred, 
the plan does not result in any cash outflow from the Company. 

The fair value of equity-settled share-based payments is measured by use of the Black-Scholes model. The expected life 
used in the models have been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise 
restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over 
the vesting period, based on the consolidated entity’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting 
period, the group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the 
original estimates, if any, is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income such that the cumulative expense reflects the 
revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

NOTE 24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial risk management objectives

The capital structure of the consolidated entity consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders 
of the parent, comprising issued capital, retained earnings and reserves. Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand 
the group’s assets, as well as to make the routine outflows of payables and tax. 

The consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. These 
activities expose the consolidated entity to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk), 
credit risk and liquidity risk.

The consolidated entity does not have formal documented policies and procedures for the management of risk associated with 
financial instruments. However, the Board has responsibility for managing the different types of risks to which the consolidated 
entity is exposed. These responsibilities include considering risk and monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate risk, and 
by being aware of market forecasts for interest rate, and commodity prices. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit 
allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through general business budgets and forecasts.

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency 
risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash 
flow forecasting.

In order to protect against exchange rate movements, the consolidated entity has entered into forward foreign exchange 
contracts. These contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted cash flows for the ensuing financial year. Management has a 
risk management policy to hedge 100% of anticipated foreign currency transactions for the subsequent 6 months.

The maturity, settlement amounts and the average contractual exchange rates of the consolidated entity’s outstanding forward 
foreign exchange contracts at the reporting date were as follows:

The group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk

The group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the group’s cash and short-term deposits held.

Sensitivity Analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the statement of financial  
position date.

Credit risk

The consolidated entity has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade 
receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered 
representative across all customers of the consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and 
forward-looking information that is available. This includes general macroeconomic indicators such as RBA cash rate and GDP 
growth.

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the 
failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for 
a period greater than 1 year.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised 
financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any allowance for impairment losses, as disclosed in the statement 
of financial position and notes to the financial report.

The group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the group’s 
policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. It is the group’s policy to consider the credit worthiness of all customers who 
wish to trade on credit terms.

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the group’s exposure to bad debts is 
not significant. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Allowance for expected credit losses

The loss allowance as at 30 June 2022 was determined as follows for trade receivables:

NOTE 29. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Hampers and Gifts Australia

On 21 May 2021, Maggie Beer Holdings Limited acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Hampers & Gifts Australia Pty 
Ltd (“Hampers & Gifts Australia”) for a total upfront consideration of $40 million plus contingent consideration (earnout), 
comprising of cash and shares. Hampers & Gifts Australia is a leading e-commerce gourmet hamper and gift business.

At 30 June 2021, the amounts presented in the business combination note were provisionally determined. As at 30 June 
2022, the numbers have been finalised. The changes made at finalisation was unwinding the discounting of the contingent 
consideration to recognise the full $14.0 million. The impact increased the goodwill and contingent consideration by 
$210,000 from the provisional calculation.

At the date of finalisation of the annual year report, the consolidated entity has ensured all identifiable intangible assets 
have been recognised and vendor warranties and representations met. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition of 
Hampers & Gifts Australia has been determined as final at the end of the reporting period. For tax purposes, the tax values of 
Hampers & Gifts Australia’s assets are required to be reset based on market values of the assets when admitted into the tax 
consolidated group.

The acquired business contributed revenues of $2.17 million and a profit after tax of $0.45 million to the consolidated entity 
for the period ending 30 June 2021.

The final fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired are detailed below:

i. Consideration transferred

The company paid $20 million cash and $20 million worth of shares at an issue price of $0.35 (35 cents) per ordinary share.

n    50% of the shares have been escrowed until the earlier of the release of the company’s financial statements for the year 

ending 30 June 2022 or 31 October 2022; and

n    as to the remaining 50% of the Vendor Shares: from the issue date until the earlier of the release of the company’s 

financial statements for the financial year ending 30 June 2023 or 31 October 2023.

*Contingent consideration

In the event that Hampers & Gifts Australia (“HGA”) achieves no less than $10 million EBITDA for the financial year ending 
30 June 2023 (Earnout Period) the vendors will be entitled to a base earnout consideration of $10 million (50% cash and 
50% shares). However, in addition to the base earnout amount, the vendors will be entitled to an additional $1 million for 
every increase of $1 million in EBITDA (up to a maximum of an additional $5 million) during the earnout period in the same 
portions of cash and shares. For example, if HGA achieves no less than $14.5 million in EBITDA for the earnout period, then 
the total earnout amount will be $14 million and if HGA achieves no less than $17 million in EBITDA for the earnout period, 
then the total earnout will be $15 million.

The potential undiscounted amount payable under the agreement is between $0 for EBITDA less than $10 million for the 
financial year ending 30 June 2023 (earnout period) and $15 million for EBITDA above $15 million. The fair value of the 
contingent consideration of $14.0 million was estimated by calculating the expected trading EBITDA to be achieved.

**Cash receivable on Working Capital/Net Debt adjustment

The share purchase agreement on acquisition of HGA utilised completion accounts where the target working capital amount 
and net debt amounts were agreed prior to acquisition date. The cash adjustment receivable from the vendors represents 
the difference between the actual amount of working capital and net debt on completion date compared to target. 

The cash adjustment was received subsequently from the vendors on 04 August 2021.

Accounting policy for business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired.

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued 
or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the 
acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the 
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for 
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated 
entity’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LTD  |  ANNUAL REPORT  |  2022NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 202273

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest 
in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount 
is recognised in profit or loss.

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent 
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. 
Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the 
acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of 
the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly 
in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement 
of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer’s 
previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional 
amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new 
information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends 
on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information 
possible to determine fair value.

There are service period and non-market conditions attached to the options issued on 28 October 2020, which require 
reaching trading EBITDA targets each financial year. The options relating to FY22 have been forfeited due to not reaching 
the performance hurdle trading EBITDA. Management has assessed the probability of future options and performance rights 
targets being reached as 90% as at 30 June 2022. 

On 24 June 2021, the board approved one-off bonus grant of 600,000 performance rights. The performance rights expiring 
on 31 August 2022 in the below table are subject to vest based on time-based hurdle of continuous employment with the 
group until August 2022 being met.

On 24 June 2021, the directors approved a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for the executive team in the form of granting 
performance rights over 3 years in 3 tranches. The performance rights are based on a % of each individual’s Total Fixed 
Remuneration (including super) (TFR). Therefore, if an individual’s TFR is increased, the LTIP value and number of shares is 
adjusted over the course of the 3 years at the same value of $0.35.

Our audit approach 

An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from 
material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if 
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the financial report. 

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an 
opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management 
structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. 

Materiality 

Audit scope 

  For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group 

  Our audit focused on where the Group made 

materiality of $497,573, which represents 
approximately 0.5% of the Group's total revenues 
from continuing and discontinuing operations. 

subjective judgements; for example, significant 
accounting estimates involving assumptions and 
inherently uncertain future events. 

  Maggie Beer Holdings Limited operates across four 
segments with its head office functions based in 
South Australia, Australia. 

  We applied this threshold, together with qualitative 
considerations, to determine the scope of our audit 
and the nature, timing and extent of our audit 
procedures and to evaluate the effect of 
misstatements on the financial report as a whole. 

  We chose Group total revenues from continuing 

and discontinuing operations because, in our view, 
it is the benchmark against which the performance 
of the Group is most commonly measured. 

  We utilised a 0.5% threshold based on our 

professional judgement, noting it is within the range 
of commonly acceptable thresholds.  

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 for the current period. The key audit 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. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a 
particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the Audit 
and Risk Committee. 

MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LTD  |  ANNUAL REPORT  |  2022 
 
 
81

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Assets held for sale and discontinued operations 
(Note 7 - Discontinued Operations) 

On 22 June 2022, the Group announced the 
appointment of an advisor in relation to the company’s 
non-core dairy assets, Paris Creek Farms (PCF) and 
St David Dairy (SDD). 

In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, 
these assets were ‘held for sale’ and were written 
down to their respective fair values using fair value 
less costs to sell and disclosed as discontinued 
operations. This resulted in an impairment of $17.6m. 

We have considered the valuation of the assets held 
for sale to be a key audit matter due to the size of the 
impact on the group financial statements and the 
judgements applied by management in assessing the 
fair value of assets held for sale. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

  Obtained an understanding of the proposed 

offers received for PCF and SDD. 

  Reviewed the proposed offers and Board 

meeting minutes to understand any terms and 
conditions attached to the offers. 

  Agreed asset and liability values for PCF and 

SDD prior to fair value adjustments to 
underlying financial records. 

  For a sample of items included within costs to 

sell, agreed the amounts to supporting 
documentation.   

  Agreed the impairment recognised as the 

difference between the asset and liability values 
for PCF and SDD, prior to fair value 
assessment, and the amount included in the 
proposed sale contracts adjusted for costs to 
sell. 

  We evaluated the reasonableness of the 
disclosures against the requirements of 
Australian Accounting Standards. 

Recognition of contingent consideration 
(Note 29 Business combinations) 

The Group acquired 100% of Hampers & Gifts 
Australia Pty Ltd on 21 May 2021 for a total upfront 
consideration of $40.0 million plus contingent 
consideration (earnout), comprising of cash and 
shares.  The business combination was presented on 
a provisional basis at 30 June 2021. 

As at 30 June 2022, the amount of contingent 
consideration was reassessed increasing to 
$14.0m. This change from 30 June 2021 resulted in 
an increase in goodwill of $0.2m. 

We determined this is a key audit matter due to the 
materiality of the contingent consideration balance 
and judgement and uncertainty involved in forecasting 
the estimated earnout. 

Our procedures included amongst others: 

  Obtained an understanding of the share 

purchase deed and the terms and conditions 
associated with the contingent consideration. 
  Reviewed the budget for FY23 to re-calculate 

the amount of contingent consideration payable. 

  Tested the mathematical accuracy of key data 
within the Group’s calculation of the contingent 
consideration and subsequent adjustment to 
goodwill. 

  We evaluated the business combination 

disclosures in the financial statements against 
the requirements of Australian Accounting 
Standards.

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the 
financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. 

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

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

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

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report 

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

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report 

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board website at: 
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our 
auditor's report.
