We successfully navigated multiple disruptors whilst maintaining our market focus and momentum. We have continued to make significant investments in doctor partnerships, clinical infrastructure, genetics and science, and our business is in a strong financial position to deliver sustainable long-term growth. Mr Richard Davis INDEPENDENT CHAIRMAN Strong underlying market dynamics remain unchanged despite a year of disruptions and short-term volatility. In FY22 the Australian IVF market recorded a decrease in stimulated cycles of 1.1%, with Monash IVF Group performing ahead of market, recording market share growth of 20bp to 21.2%. The extended COVID-19 lockdowns in 1H22 meant people were spending most of their time at home with their families, making it the ideal time to think about starting or expanding families. Pregnancy rates continued to increase, and IVF growth rates were strong during 1H22. However, as COVID-19 became more widespread in the community in 2H22, the IVF industry faced significant disruptions from workforce shortages and patients being forced to delay treatment following COVID-19 infection. Furthermore, as international borders reopened, a strong urge to travel saw many Australians recommence travel and holidays. This short-term lag in market growth in 2H22 does not reflect any changing consumer sentiment towards IVF, yet reflects short-term impacts of COVID-19. The Australian IVF industry has experienced remarkable growth over the last three years, delivering a three-year CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) in Stimulated Cycles of 7%. Our Australian IVF business delivered a robust result in FY22, with stimulated cycles in line with FY21 and EBITDA growth of 6.9%. Performance was particularly strong in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia. Our ultrasound business was disrupted by COVID-19 and influenza during FY22. Volumes declined due to sonographer and workforce shortages, and reluctance of patients to attend healthcare settings. We are confident that this business will have strong tailwinds as the recent challenges subside. Our Malaysian business has had a longer road to recovery post the initial COVID shutdowns with demand for IVF services restricted by reduced movement and travel and a weak economic environment. However, early signs of improvement were evident in 2H22 with a 23% increase in new patient consultations. Despite some volatility in market growth in 2H22, underlying demand for IVF services remains strong and resilient. Monash IVF’s ability to on-board and attract more fertility specialists and execute on compelling acquisitions reflects our leading reputation in the market for our best-in-class service model and compelling doctor value proposition, combined with the strength and engagement of our existing doctor group. Monash IVF Group is now considered the destination of choice for clinicians. As we look towards FY23 and beyond, we remain confident that we have the right people, the right priorities and more importantly the commitment of our people to maintain a strong financial position and deliver shareholder value. The Board and I would like to acknowledge and thank our people and clinicians for their dedicated commitment to the business, together with our patients and our shareholders for their ongoing support of Monash IVF Group. Mr Richard Davis Independent Chairman 4 | Monash IVF Group YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Managing Director & CEO’s Report During FY22 we made substantial progress towards achieving our Vision 2026. Through the resilience and agility of our people Monash IVF Group delivered a solid FY22 result, despite the disruptions thrown in our path. In FY22, Monash IVF delivered revenue of $192.3m with the performance of our Australian IVF operations remaining strong, partially offset by weaker performances from the Ultrasound and International businesses. Mr Michael Knaap MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO The most exciting achievement in FY22 has been the significant ramp up in business development and investment in our business to drive future growth. This reflects our strong confidence in the IVF markets in Australia and South-East Asia, and the ability of our business model and leadership team to execute on this growth. Key highlights of FY22 include: › Sustaining a higher than benchmark › employee engagement demonstrating a “Culture of Success” for consecutive years. Investing in doctor partnerships: In Australia, the addition of 9 new doctors through organic recruitment and two new domestic acquisitions were executed which will add a further 15 new doctors in 1H23. The ability of Monash IVF to attract new doctors is a strong endorsement of our best-in-class clinical offering and our collaborative approach to doctor partnerships; › Expanding domestic geographic › footprint: Following our entry into the Western Australian and Cairns markets through the Pivet acquisition, Monash IVF Group will have the broadest footprint across Australia; Investing in state-of-the-art clinical infrastructure: In FY22, we invested in new sites in Darwin and Penrith, and new flagship sites in Melbourne and the Gold Coast are expected to open in 2H23, with both sites including day surgeries; › Scientific leadership to improve pregnancy outcomes: Clinical pregnancy rates per embryo transferred (women aged <43 years) continue to improve across the Group growing from 32.6% in CY18 to 37.0% in CY21; Increasing presence in genetics: Appointment of four new clinical geneticists and the launch of our At Home Genetic Carrier Screening in November 2021; › › South-East Asia expansion gaining momentum: Our new clinic opened in Singapore in April 2022 and a new clinic in Bali opened in September 2022, taking our total clinics in South-East Asia to five. Resilience and commitment of our people The strength of our people and culture has been further highlighted over the past two years as we all collectively navigated the new ways of working and gained overwhelming support for the implementation of critical COVID-safe practices such as vaccinations, ensured we kept our people, patients, and the community safe. This at times was further challenged as workforce shortages became a new consideration. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our people and clinicians for their outstanding commitment to Monash IVF during this challenging period. Looking to FY23 and beyond Despite the slowing in market growth in 2H22, we are confident the strong underlying industry dynamics are unchanged. Advanced maternal age, behavioural changes in the community to focus more on family, a favourable Government funding environment and access to broader service offerings is expected to underpin industry growth into the future. Monash IVF Group is ideally positioned to continue to grow above market in FY23 and beyond driven by several factors, including: the 31 new doctors that have recently joined Monash IVF Group; the transformation of our Melbourne, Gold Coast and Brisbane clinics as they move to new state of the art facilities over the next 18 months; the momentum building in our South-East Asia expansion; and our increased presence in the rapidly growing area of genetics. It is with the commitment of of our people, and the support of our clinicians and our shareholders that we will meet our Vision 2026 goal of being the most admired reproductive provider in the world.

Malik Jainudeen CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER & COMPANY SECRETARY Monash IVF Group’s domestic IVF business was a strong performer in a challenging environment, particularly in the 2nd half of FY2022. The domestic IVF business grew its revenue by $5.6m which was achieved from price increases of 2% to 3% across all state based markets and stimulated cycle market share growth in Queensland, South Australia and New South Wales. The Omicron COVID-19 subvariant adversely impacted the IVF business in Q3 whereby the Victorian IVF business was impacted by the temporary suspension of services in January 2022 that had a flow on effect in the following months. Most pleasingly and not withstanding this, the domestic IVF business was able to deliver and perform 9,783 stimulated cycles which was in line with the previous year. EBITDA in the domestic IVF business grew by 12.2% or $5.8m reflecting market share gains and price increases which were partly offset by $1.9m increase in medical malpractice insurance costs and $0.6m increase in labour due to high COVID-19 leave and staff isolation requirements impacting workforce utilisation. The Ultrasound business had its challenges with Sydney impacted during Q1 when Sydney had elevated levels of COVID-19 whilst both Sydney and Melbourne were impacted by Omicron in Q3. Ultrasound scans declined by 8.0% as a result of Pandemic driven restrictions and capacity constraints. As Pandemic factors reduce, we expect to see improvement in performance which was evident in August 2022. The International IVF business was also impacted by Pandemic related restrictions whereby stimulated cycles declined by 6.5% driven by volume declines in Kuala Lumpur which was partly offset by activity growth in Johor Bahru. Performance improved in the 2nd half in Kuala Lumpur where stimulated cycles declined by 3% compared to 9% in the first half. The pipeline is showing good signs of improvement in patient consultations suggesting activity growth in FY2023. Overall, the Group delivered revenue growth of 4.7% whilst underlying EBITDA grew by 0.8% and underlying NPAT declined by 4.7%. Underlying EBITDA margin % in FY2022 was 25.0% and considering the disruptions experienced across the business during the year, the underlying EBITDA and underlying NPAT result was pleasing. Our cash flow performance during the year was positive as pre-tax conversion of EBITDA to operating cash flow was 97% and free cash flow generation was $16.7m. Capital expenditure for the year was $11.8m which included completion and progress of key new clinic projects including Penrith, Darwin and Singapore IVF clinics. Building works also commenced on key IVF flagship clinics in Melbourne and the Gold Coast which will both include new day hospital revenue streams to complement our IVF businesses and improve patient experience. The balance sheet is in a strong position to support execution of key growth initiatives including expectations for ~$45m of expenditure in FY23 related to acquisition payments and new IVF clinics. New clinics include completion of flagship clinics in Melbourne, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Bali and we are rolling out embryoscope technology. Following this expenditure, balance sheet capacity remains in-place to deliver on future organic and non-organic growth opportunities that may present. The Syndicated Debt Facility was extended during the year for a further 3 years to December 2024 with net debt of $2.1m at 30 June 2022. In addition, a $40m Accordion Facility is available for capital expenditure and acquisitions. In closing, we are extremely excited by the growth initiatives in-place and prospects for future growth notwithstanding the current Pandemic environment. I’d like to thank all our stakeholders including employees, doctors and shareholders who collectively enable us to achieve our mission and business objectives.

The Vision 2026 Strategic Planning process conducted last year was extensive and fulsome, providing a clear pathway forward for Monash IVF Group. A year on, a strategic review process confirmed that our Vision 2026 Strategy remains largely unchanged, with only minor changes required in response to significant progress made over the last 12 months and in consideration to environmental/situational impacts.

Our clinicians, in collaboration with our scientists, have led the way in continuing to improve our success rates year-on- year. This has been achieved through meticulous continuous improvement and implementation of best clinical practice in all of our clinics in Australia and South- East Asia. We continue our investment program of installing Time-Lapse incubators across our clinics to improve embryo culture systems, and PIEZO ICSI technology to improve fertilisation rates in our science laboratories. A new research governance framework was implemented which includes a primary committee to oversee the introduction of new clinical practices and research at Monash IVF. This committee had its inaugural meeting in FY22 and is independently chaired by Professor Jock Findlay of the Hudson Institute of Medical Research. Through this, the Monash Research and Education Fund (MREF) distributed more than $400K of research grants to projects led by our clinicians, scientists and nurses. Our clinicians hold senior academic roles at numerous Universities and Institutes, as well as being active investigators on Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) and National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) grants, and clinical trial cohort studies. Collectively we remain at the cutting edge of reproductive healthcare. A special mention also to our clinical and ultrasound teams who led our people to remain open throughout the pandemic to provide critical pregnancy scan services whilst public hospital services were unable to due to COVID response priorities. Monash IVF Group doctor partnerships are a cornerstone pillar of our strategic vision. We have a very clear strategy to continue to build upon our already elite clinical team by attracting the very best clinicians, both through acquisition and our own CREI training programs. Fundamental to achieving this will be continuing to invest in the very best science and clinical technology to ensure our patients have the best chance of success. Monash IVF Group has attracted 31 new doctors to join our teams in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory and South-East Asia through acquisition, recruitment and our own internal training programs. We now have a total of 146 clinicians working in IVF and Women’s Ultrasound. The highlights for FY22 included Monash IVF establishing its presence in Western Australia with the acquisition of PIVET Medical Centre and its team of 9 clinicians and the opening of a new clinic in Singapore built around 4 experienced IVF Doctors. Our Doctor engagement continues to show positive progress in aligning to our doctor value proposition. In FY22 we adjusted our engagement metrics to measure NPS (net promoter score) engagement through our clinicians recommendation as a place to practice and as a place to provide quality service to patients. In 2022 we recorded the highest NPS score, and a score well above industry benchmark in recommending Monash IVF Group to patients in providing quality service. We also retained a higher than industry benchmark NPS for recommending Monash IVF as a place to practice. 1.

Through our existing Corporate Governance policies, our Strategic framework, Quality Policy and Code of Conduct, Monash IVF Group have demonstrated a strong commitment to responsible and ethical conduct. As this position matures, Monash IVF Group are now formalising and strengthening our approach to sustainability through a structured Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework. As we progress our Vision 2026, Monash IVF Group have integrated ESG considerations into our decision making, including the following examples: › Improvements to our Clinical Infrastructure consider the environmental impact of our activities including measures such as NABERS (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) and the ability to locally source equipment and furnishings from ethical suppliers. › People Engagement activities have seen the establishment of a Diversity & Inclusion Council, tasked to create an affirming environment where staff feel comfortable to bring their whole self to work, and where a sense of belonging is fostered. This further allows Monash IVF Group to incorporate inclusive practices to our Patient Experience and Doctor Partnerships. › As we develop the Monash Way through robust Clinical Leadership, the focus on IVF Success Rates and evidence based medicine has been maintained, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. › Digital Transformation supports a paper-light approach to clinical operations and reduction in corporate travel.

We continue to invest in digital transformation to improve both our patient and staff experience. Our corporate and clinical spaces are being retrofitted to provide a smooth hot-desking experience, where staff can seamlessly roam between home, office or clinic where possible. This allows our people to provide patient care from anywhere, at any time. We are – more than ever – adopting cloud-based solutions to further reduce the number of paper-based forms provided to our patients and to improve our internal processes. We are focusing on continuing to strengthen our cybersecurity policies to protect our patient records and ensure business continuity in adverse times. We are also building our next- generation patient management systems, which will interlink all our business applications, such as our new Customer Relationship Management and Enterprise Resource Planning platforms. We believe that consolidation on cloud-based platforms and focus on staff/patient experience will be key factors to support our projected business growth in the coming years. 16 | Monash IVF Group YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE OUR PILLARS Brand and Marketing As a purpose led organisation, we believe we have a role to play in creating a societal shift in how people think and behave in relation to their fertility. Over the past few years our brand and marketing strategy has been focused on challenging societal norms, normalising infertility and assuring people they are not alone. In FY22 this focus continued with our new One in Six advertising campaign proving extremely successful in educating people about the prevalence of infertility and driving new patient enquiries and incremental market share growth. We have been thrilled to watch so many of our brave patients who appeared in the campaign go on to have beautiful families. A greater focus on public relations during the last 12 months also resulted in a significant increase in media stories and showcased the positive role Monash IVF is playing in educating people about their reproductive health. This year as we celebrate 50+ years in helping bring more than 50,000 babies into the world, we are working towards ensuring that the information and education we offer is affirming and inclusive and supports everyone who hopes to bring a family into the world, regardless of their race, age, gender or sexuality. Education and support for GPs and other referring specialists has continued to be a significant focus, including partnering with RACGP to deliver education events across a broad range of fertility topics and conducting LGBTIQ+ training. We continue to support our fertility specialists with various marketing initiatives, including patient and GP events, online content programs, advertising through digital channels and training on social media, public relations and Google reviews.

Annual Report 2022 | 17 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Clinical Infrastructure Monash IVF Group has continued to invest in best-in-class clinical facilities and technology, setting the foundations for growth. Monash IVF invested in a number of infrastructure projects over the past financial year. The highlight is the advanced stage build of our Cremorne Unit which will be the flagship of our Melbourne business. This facility will include a fully integrated day hospital and will provide a world class patient experience and leading success rates. We expect to be providing patient treatments from Cremorne in Q323. Monash IVF also completed construction of two new IVF clinics. Our new Darwin clinic started treating patients in May and we have recently finished our new facility in Penrith, which will service our patients in the Western Sydney suburbs right into the Blue Mountains. Already in development is our new Gold Coast clinic which will service this rapidly growing region and will also include a 2-theatre day hospital. A number of other projects are in the design and planning phase and are expected to be completed during the next 12 months. This includes IVF units in Brisbane, Sunshine in Victoria and Albury. Monash IVF Group also has plans to construct ultrasound facilities to meet the growing demands for private scans and NIPT. 18 | Monash IVF Group YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE FINANCIAL OVERVIEW CFO REPORT OUR STRATEGY OUR PILLARS BOARD OF DIRECTORS MANAGEMENT TEAM FY22 FINANCIAL REPORT New Treatments Monash IVF’s mission to help bring life to the world extends beyond treatment for infertility. Our expertise and innovative mindset are essential for navigating new areas of clinical care including genetics, donor treatment and elective fertility preservation. Our genetics team led by Dr. Tristan Hardy (Medical Director) and Dr. Melody Menezes (Head Genetic Counsellor) continues to develop new approaches to care across the preconception, preimplantation and prenatal periods. In addition to establishing the first at-home genetic carrier screening program by an IVF unit in Australia, the laboratory has successfully undergone assessment by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) to become a fully- fledged Category G Genetics Laboratory. Preconception care is an emerging area of focus for Monash IVF, and our at-home genetic carrier screening program is a core pillar of this important time period. Launching in late 2021, our expert team of genetic counsellors and scientists have supported couples and donor recipients to receive information about their reproductive health through our at- home genetic carrier screening program. Identifying couples with a high chance of having a child with a significant medical condition allows access to our range of reproductive options including prenatal diagnosis through ultrasound units and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) through our IVF units. Donor recipients are another major group supported by the genetic counselling team. Our partnership with Fulgent Genetics to provide this testing allows individualised matching to donor profiles with maximum flexibility and allows them to make informed decisions about their chosen donor. Our preimplantation genetic testing program continues to have significant growth and has supported couples with a single gene or chromosome condition to undergo treatment, which has been Medicare-supported since November 2021. PGT is a major area of focus in our research program, and we are actively developing new approaches to PGT to better serve our most complex cases, which are increasingly referred to our team for access to our scientific and clinical expertise. Our non-invasive prenatal testing program continues to be a core service for our ultrasound clinics. Our expertise in this area has been recognised with members of our team being part of the global consortium for expanded NIPT and regularly presenting at national and international scientific meetings. Advances in genetic testing will continue to deliver benefits to our patients and their families. We are optimistic about the future for genetic testing at Monash IVF and our mission to provide a truly world class experience across all aspects of care.

The growth was achieved as a result of domestic IVF business performance that delivered Assisted Reproductive Services (ARS) revenue growth of $5.6m or 3.6% driven by price increases of between 2% to 3% across all domestic IVF markets and market share(1) gains in Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia. The Company achieved FY22 Underlying EBITDA(3) of $48.1m and an EBITDA(3) margin % of 25%. The domestic IVF business grew EBITDA(3) and Margin% which was offset by EBITDA(3) and Margin% decline in the Ultrasound and International IVF businesses. The Group experienced increased employee costs due to increased sick and personal leave and lower than usual utilisation of annual leave ($0.9m pre- tax impact). Performance was further impacted by $2.0m (pre-tax) increase in medical malpractice and directors & officers liability insurance. Market share gains were achieved due to contribution from new fertility specialists attracted in the previous 12 months and positive investment in creative marketing campaigns. Stimulated cycles(1) in FY2022 were in-line with the prior comparative period although impacted by temporary suspension of IVF services in Victoria as a result of the surge in Omicron COVID-19 sub-variant during Q3FY2022. Omicron has had varied treatment deferral impact on all domestic IVF markets. Implications of COVID-19 related lockdowns and penetration of COVID-19 cases has had a significant impact on our ultrasound clinics from a capacity, efficiency and short-term demand perspective. FY22 ultrasound scan volumes declined by 8% to 85,327, compared to FY21 and non-invasive pre-natal testing declined by 7% to 14,789. Patient activity reduced as a result of restrictions on elective surgery in Melbourne, staff shortages caused by high levels of sick and personal leave ($0.3m pre-tax impact) resulting in room/clinic closures, lower room capacity per day and patient hesitation to attend clinical settings. The Company’s South-East Asian (SEA) expansion strategy continued during FY22 with the opening of a new Singapore IVF clinic that opened in May 2022 with four fertility specialists and is expected to perform approximately 200 stimulated cycles in the next twelve months. The Johor Bahru IVF clinic in Malaysia which was acquired during FY20 has returned to profitability in 2H22 following the re-opening of the international border between Singapore and eastern Malaysia. Investment and construction of an IVF clinic in Bali, Indonesia commenced in late FY22 and as a result, MVF will have five IVF clinics in SEA. The Kuala Lumpur IVF clinic is showing signs of improvement as new patient consultations in 2H22 increased by 24% compared to the prior corresponding period. Stimulated Cycles in FY22 declined by 14% compared to FY21 but remained 5% above FY20 as the Malaysia economy is gradually recovering from COVID-19 restrictions and uncertainty whilst certain key industries continue to be impacted (tourism, gas and oil). Underlying NPAT(3)(4) was $22.2m, ahead of the May 2022 Trading Update and $1.1m or 5% below pcp. Reported NPAT included a small number of underlying adjustments including non-organic acquisition costs, commissioning costs for new premises yet to commence operations and acquisition earn-out adjustments in accordance with AASB3. The effective tax rate for the year was 29.4% reflecting the 30% Australian corporate tax rate and Asian corporate tax rate that is between 17% and 24%.

The record date for the dividend is 9 September 2022 and the payment date for the dividend is 7 October 2022. Commitments & Contingencies As announced to the ASX on 23 December 2020, Monash IVF Group became aware that it and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in proceedings filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria in relation to, or in connection with, the Group’s non-invasive pre-implantation genetic screening technology (Ni-PGT or cell-free PGT-A). The proceedings filed makes a series of allegations against Monash IVF Group in relation to the Ni-PGT testing including those patients who had embryos classified as aneuploid as a result of Ni-PGT testing may have had embryos destroyed or did not proceed to embryo transfer. Ni-PGT testing was suspended in October 2020. The Group has filed the defence in accordance with the Court’s directions. The Group has notified its insurers of the claim. The Group has provided for associated costs expected to be incurred in defending the claim. The claim does not specify an amount of damages and it is not currently possible to determine the ultimate impact of this claim, if any, on the Group. Outlook Whilst the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic and macro uncertainty created volatility in the Australian IVF market in 2H22, the favourable underlying demand dynamics are unchanged. Advanced maternal age and access to broader service offerings (including donor, egg freezing and genetics) are expected to underpin long-term industry growth. The recent short-term weakness in the market is largely attributable to patients being forced to delay treatment post infection with COVID-19 or influenza, hesitancy to access healthcare services and macroeconomic uncertainty; with some uncertainty around how long this market disruption will continue for. In FY2022, MVF made significant investments in future growth including recent acquisitions, attraction of new fertility specialists and further expansion into South East Asia. In addition, further ~$45m of capital expenditure investment and acquisition payments are anticipated to be made during FY2023 that will continue to drive future growth and improve service delivery. The recent acquisitions of PIVET Medical Centre and ART Associates Queensland are expected to complete by end of September 2022 and will contribute to earnings growth in FY2023. Accordingly, subject to further adverse impact from the on-going Pandemic, we anticipate FY2023 Underlying1 Net Profit After Tax to grow in-excess of 10% compared to FY2022.

Accordingly, the Group has a risk management framework and has implemented systematic processes for: Better identification of opportunities and threats; Prevention of potential risks from being realised; Reduction of the element of chance; Increased accountability and transparency for decisions; ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ More effective allocation and use of resources; ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Improved incident management and reduction in loss and the cost of risk; Improved stakeholder confidence and trust; Improved compliance with relevant legislation and accreditation processes; Proactive rather than reactive management; Enhanced governance. The risk management framework together with the risk assessments and mitigation strategies are regularly reviewed both individually and collectively by the Executive Team, the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board. A simple prioritisation system has been adopted to scale the relative importance of all the identified risks. From review of the Group’s key business, operational and financial risks, processes are in-place to reduce the inherent nature of these risks to an acceptable and manageable level. This includes high inherent risk presented by the COVID-19 Pandemic and is a key priority when managing risk. The Group considers the below as important risks that require continued management to ensure the Group meets its objectives. COVID-19 Pandemic COVID-19 and the risk of transmission of infection may impact Monash IVF’s operations in Australia and South-East Asia through the imposition of government and regulatory requirements (which can change over time), including suspension of elective surgery, recommendations to postpone treatment where possible and the need for social distancing impacting staff movement within the partner healthcare system and patient willingness to access services. Monash IVF is continually working with industry bodies, regulators and governments to understand and shape regulatory positions but these positions and related actions can impact Monash IVF operations in the future. Economic conditions during and post the Pandemic may adversely impact financial performance and market position. In addition, Monash IVF employees may come into close proximity with patients and other members of the public during the course of business, increasing risk of transmission and impact on workforce. While protocols have been established and are effective in responding to the risk of transmission, the workforce may be infected with COVID-19 or influenza resulting in disruption of operations and services whilst they are isolating and/or recovering. Relationships with People in key roles, including clinicians The relationships between Monash IVF Group, its People and Clinicians are key to our recruitment and retention strategies, ability to grow the businesses and replacement of retiring clinicians. The loss or disengagement of Clinicians or inability to attract new Clinicians to the organisation would likely impact the revenue and profitability of the organisation. 11 Annual Report 2022 | 31 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Directors’ Report Directors’ Report continued for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 Business risks (continued) There are similar risks to the organisation relating to the departure or disengagement of the Executive and Leadership Teams and People in key roles, defined by regulatory requirements. Comprehensive training and development programs, competitive remuneration frameworks, commitment to patient centred care and opportunities to participate in world class research activities all contribute to attracting and retaining the very best talent in the Industry. Change in Government funding arrangements for Assisted Reproductive Services There is a risk that the Commonwealth Government will change the funding (including levels, conditions or eligibility requirements) it provides for Assisted Reproductive Services (ARS). Patients receive partial re-imbursement for ARS treatment through Commonwealth Government Programs, including the Medicare Benefit Schedule (MBS) and Extended Medicare Safety Net (EMSN). If the level of re- imbursement were to be reduced or capped, Patients would face higher out-of-pocket expenses for ARS potentially reducing the demand for services provided by the Group. The Group is not aware of any changes to Commonwealth Government funding for ARS in the short to medium term. Risk of increased competition In each of the markets the Group operates in, there is a risk that: ▪ Existing competitors may undertake aggressive marketing and Patient acquisition campaigns, product innovation or price discounting; ▪ New market entrants may participate in the Sector and gain market share; ▪ Further growth in low cost offerings provided by competitors may reduce the Group’s market share; ▪ An increase in publicly provided ARS services may reduce the Group’s market share. The Group continues to strategically position its ARS service as a specialised premium offering as a point of differentiation against low cost competitors. In addition, the Group has previously partnered with State based governments in the provision of publicly provided ARS services and will look to continue to partner with governments to provide greater access to ARS services to the community. Occupational Health and Safety Monash IVF employees are at risk of workplace accidents and incidents. In the event that a Monash IVF employee is injured in the course of their employment, Monash IVF may be liable for penalties or damages. This has the potential to harm both the reputation and financial performance of Monash IVF. 32 | Monash IVF Group 12 YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Directors’ Report Directors’ Report continued for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 Information on Directors Director Mr Richard Davis Independent Chairman Member of Audit & Risk Management Committee Member of Remuneration & Nomination Committee Experience Mr. Richard Davis joined the Group in June 2014 and is currently serving as a non-executive director of ASX listed companies, InvoCare Limited and Australian Vintage Limited (Chairman).

The information provided in this Remuneration Report has been audited by KPMG as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report. The Remuneration Report outlines the remuneration strategies and arrangements for the Key Management Personnel (Executive KMP) who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of Monash IVF Group. FY22 Highlights FY22 marked another year of unpredictability yet once again, our People demonstrated notable resilience through the continued disruptions of the Pandemic. Our teams were faced with higher than usual absenteeism as our workforce responded to the department of health requirements to isolate if themselves or members of their family became unwell with COVID-19. Our teams applied significant flexibility to adapt to short term changes in our labour workforce. Despite this, across all Monash IVF Group locations, our People addressed the challenges they faced, adapting to the demands of COVID-19 and maintaining our priority of delivering quality patient care, supporting families, community and of course each other. This continued as we faced particularly demanding circumstances. During FY22, our Vision 2026 strategic priorities and growth opportunities have made positive progress. Investment and growth opportunities have significantly advanced. This includes growing our capabilities to ensure we are well placed to deliver on our strategic pillars. Despite the disruption that the Pandemic has placed on the Group, our Executive leadership team continue to drive a focus on our purpose and direction which has been a key priority throughout FY22 and continuing into FY23. The strength and continuity of the Executive team continues to be a priority for the Group, with no changes to KMP or Directors in FY22. The alignment of our remuneration structure to support the achievement of Vision 2026 and our approach to remuneration reflects the focus on outcomes that support the long-term sustainability of Monash IVF Group, value creation for Monash IVF Group’s key stakeholders, attraction and retention of our People and ultimately, helping our patients start or grow their family. Linking remuneration outcomes with performance In FY22 whilst having regard to the Group’s performance during FY21 and FY22, the following remuneration outcomes occurred in FY22: • • As highlighted in 2021 annual report, maximum remuneration (fixed and at-risk remuneration combined) for Executive KMP was adjusted following completion of a benchmarking process to comparable peers. The Board entered into the external benchmarking process to be informed on Executive remuneration at the time. This benchmarking considered organisations of comparable size and supported an outcome that total remuneration sat below industry benchmark (including roles and performance metrics). In FY22, the Board agreed to increase the total remuneration for the CEO, CFO and COO over time to bring these closer to comparable peers. Any adjustments to the CEO, CFO and COO maximum remuneration remains at or below the industry benchmark and supports internal promotions whilst ensuring Executive KMP are retained and appropriately incentivised to continue to deliver the Vision 2026 business strategy. Further adjustments may be considered and applied to the at-risk component to ensure greater comparability to peers. In FY23 the Total Fixed Remuneration for CEO, CFO and COO was 3% with adjustments to increase the At Risk component for the CEO to a maximum potential by15% (combined STI and LTI) and 10% for CFO and COO (combined STI & LTI). The FY22 STI gateway was achieved, being Scientific Success Rates. This measure continues to be most critical focus of the organisation and will remain as a STI gateway. The STI financial component was well below target with full year financial targets not achieved for Executive KMP, reflecting 2H22 financial outcomes impacted by the Pandemic disruption and unpredictable operating environment, whilst some non-financial measures were achieved between threshold and target. 38 | Monash IVF Group 18 YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Remuneration Report (Audited) continued Remuneration Report (Audited) for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 • • • The Earning Per Share (EPS) component of the FY2020 Performance Rights granted did not vest at 30 June 2020 due to performance in FY22. The Total Shareholder Return (TSR) on the FY19 Performance Rights granted did not vest during FY22 whilst the TSR component of the FY20 Performance Rights granted will be tested in September 2022. Following a review of the Incentive Plan structure, the FY23 plan will see a change to the LTI Plan which includes the Relative TSR peer group of ASX 300 Healthcare to exclude CSL. The STI plan for FY23 will include the opportunity for reward where performance exceeds target. A stretch target for financial measures being 110% aligned to a further 10% STI available. Non-Executive Director remuneration arrangements in FY2022 Fees payable to Non-Executive Directors were reviewed regarding fee adjustments effective 1 July 2022 and 3% increase was applied to Director base or Committee fees.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee has the ability to subsequently adjust targets for any significant changes including but not limited to, significant events, capital structure, material acquisition or divestments, in accordance with any ASX Listing Rules if applicable.

LTI grants are made on a rolling annual basis to ensure Executives maintain a continuous focus on sustainable long-term growth and returns and provides an appropriate balance with short- term incentives which are focussed on annual returns. The terms and overview of the FY2022 LTI grant to KMP and other eligible employees, including the CEO, CFO and COO are summarised below. The LTI award opportunity is based on a percentage of the participant’s total fixed remuneration as at the grant date. The number of performance rights issued is determined by dividing the long-term incentive component of the participant’s fixed remuneration by the volume weighted average price of Monash IVF Group Limited shares traded on the Australian Stock Exchange over the 10 trading days immediately following the release of the FY2021 full-year results announcement. The VWAP applied to the FY2022 performance rights issue was $0.991. Performance rights were granted in two tranches during FY2022, with each tranche subject to separate vesting conditions. Executives did not pay any money to be granted the performance rights and the expiry date of the rights will be on the fifth anniversary of their grant. Details of the FY2022 LTI grant to KMP is set out below: KMP % of TFR Performance Rights granted Allocation # of performance rights Mr. Michael Knaap (CEO) 80% Mr. Malik Jainudeen (CFO) 40% Mr. Hamish Hamilton (COO) 40% EPS TSR EPS TSR EPS TSR 70% 30% 70% 30% 70% 30% 326,316 139,850 97,895 41,955 97,895 41,955 25 Annual Report 2022 | 45 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Remuneration Report (Audited) continued Remuneration Report (Audited) for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 The performance periods and vesting schedules for the FY2022 performance rights are set out in the following table: Performance Measure Earnings per share Performance Period 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024 Performance % of rights that will vest Less than 10% per annum 10% per annum 0% 20% Between 10% to 12% per annum 20% to 100% pro rata Greater than 10% per annum 100% Performance Measure Relative TSR Performance Period 11 days after FY2021 results announcement to 11 days after FY2024 results announcement Performance % of rights that will vest Less than Index return Equal to index return 0% 20% Between Index return and Index return +5% 20% to 100% pro rata Equal to or greater than Index return +5% 100% The graduated vesting scale in the LTI plan was designed to minimise the likelihood of excessive risk taking as a performance threshold is approached. The Board believes this vesting framework strengthens the performance link over the long-term and accordingly encourages Executives to focus on long term performance. The Board also acknowledges that the value of certain strategic initiatives may take several years to deliver. Further terms and conditions of the LTI plan are as follows: • • • The invitations issued to eligible persons will include information such as award conditions and, upon acceptance of an invitation, the Board will grant awards in the name of the eligible person. Awards may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with except with the approval of the Board. Awards will only vest where the conditions advised to the participant by the Board have been satisfied. An unvested award will lapse in a number of circumstances, including where conditions are not satisfied within the relevant time period, or in the opinion of the Board, a participant has committed an act of fraud or misconduct or gross dereliction of duty. If a participant’s engagement with the Company (or one of its subsidiaries) terminates before an award has vested, the Board may determine the extent to which the unvested awards that have not lapsed will become vested awards or, if the award offer does not so provide and the Board does not decide otherwise, the unvested awards will automatically lapse. Awards are subject to malus and clawback conditions whereby the Board may, in its discretion, and subject to applicable laws, determine the performance rights or shares already allocated following the vesting or exercise of a performance right are forfeited, recovered or the conditions modified. The Board’s decision in regard to unfair benefits obtained by the participant is final and binding. • Where there is a takeover bid or a scheme of arrangement proposed in relation to the Company, the Board may determine that the participant’s unvested awards will become vested awards. In such circumstances, the Board shall promptly notify each participant in writing that the awards have become vested awards, or that he or she may, within the time period specified in the notice and where applicable in accordance with the class or category of award, exercise such vested awards. A participant is not entitled to participate, in their capacity as holder of awards, in any new issue of shares in the Company, nor in any return of capital, buyback or other 26 46 | Monash IVF Group YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Remuneration Report (Audited) continued Remuneration Report (Audited) for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 distribution or payment to shareholders, unless the Board determines otherwise. In the event of a bonus issue or rights issue, the rights of the award will be altered in a manner (if any) determined by the Board, consistent with the ASX Listing Rules. In the event of any reorganisation of the issued ordinary capital of the Company before the exercise of an award, the number of shares attached to each award will be reorganised in the manner specified in the LTI plan and in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules or, if the manner is not specified, the Board will determine the reorganisation. In any event, the reorganisation will not result in any additional benefits being conferred on participants which are not conferred on shareholders of the Company. Participants who hold an award issued pursuant to the LTI plan have no rights to vote under the LTI award at meetings of the Company until that award has vested (and is exercised, if applicable) and the participant is the holder of a valid share in the Company. Shares acquired upon vesting of the award will, upon issue, rank equally in all respects with other shares. No award or share may be offered under the LTI plan if to do so would contravene the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or instruments of relief issued by ASIC from time to time. • • • 4.0 Executive and Non-Executive Remuneration 4.1 KMP Remuneration The respective total reward mix for KMP in FY22 is as follows, assuming business performance results in target vesting for STI and maximum grant value for LTI.

Objectives of the review are to ensure the Board adheres to ASX governance principles and to identify opportunities to improve the functioning of the Board as a whole. The focus is on the performance of the Board as a whole and, to a lesser extent, the Board committees. The Chairman performs individual appraisals on each director. The annual review completed by Monash IVF Group Limited Board was undertaken in July 2022. It involved directors completing a confidential online questionnaire covering aspects outlined in the Board Charter. The results were aggregated and discussed by the Board to inform areas or opportunities for improvement. 1.7 Senior Executive Evaluations Monash IVF Group Limited has an annual Performance Review Policy for all senior executives and managers as stated in the Board Charter. Senior executive and manager performance is reviewed by the CEO against KPIs which are both financial and non financial in nature.

The Board Charter prescribes that the Chair of the Board must be independent and the Board should consist of individuals who contribute a mix of skills and a diversity of professional backgrounds. Further information on the Board members is available in the Directors Report. Monash IVF Group Limited believes the current Board of seven members adequately allows its members to carry out its responsibilities without unnecessarily debasing its effectiveness with an excessive number that can hinder individual engagement and involvement of Board members. To add efficiency to the Board, two committees are in-place; the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee. The Board Charter prescribes that all committee members be Independent Directors. 39 Annual Report 2022 | 59 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Corporate Governance Statement continued Corporate Governance Statement Principle 2 Structure of the Board to be effective and add value (continued) 2.1 Remuneration and Nomination Committee The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is governed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter as found on the Monash IVF Group Limited website at http://ir.monashivfgroup.com.au/Investor-Centre/?page=Corporate-Governance The Remuneration and Nomination Committee consist of four independent Directors of the Board: • Ms Zita Peach (Chair) • Mr Richard Davis • Mr Josef Czyzewski • Ms Catherine West The Committee met 5 times with all Committee members in attendance.

The Chairman periodically reviews whether there is a need for Directors to undertake professional development to maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as Directors effectively. Directors are active in undertaking professional development opportunities for the purpose of development and maintenance of their skills.

The process which is followed to verify the integrity of periodic corporate reports is tailored based on the nature of the relevant report, its subject matter and where it will be published.

Refer to section 4.1 for further information. 7.1 Audit and Risk Committee The identification and appropriate management of risks is an important priority for the Monash IVF Group Limited Board. ‘Risks’ are identified as any possible outcomes that could materially impact the Company's financial performance, assets, reputation, people or the environment. Risk recognition and management are viewed by the Company as integral to its objectives of creating and maintaining shareholder value, and to the successful execution of the Company's strategies. The Audit and Risk Management Committee oversees and governs risk management strategy and policy, to monitor risk management and to establish procedures which seek to provide assurance that major business risks are identified, consistently assessed and appropriately addressed. The Committee abides by the Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter to assist the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance and oversight responsibilities in actively identifying risks and developing appropriate mitigating actions. The Committee adheres to the Risk Management Policy for the business which highlights the risks relevant to Company operations and oversees that the entity is operating with due regard to the risk appetite set by the Board. Monash IVF Group Limited’s Audit & Risk Management Committee Charter can be found on the website at: http://ir.monashivfgroup.com.au/Investor-Centre/?page=Corporate-Governance This Charter prescribes that the Audit and Risk Management Committee consist of at least three Board Directors that are non-executive independent Directors. 47 Annual Report 2022 | 67 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Corporate Governance Statement continued Corporate Governance Statement Principle 7 Recognise and Manage Risk (continued) 7.2 Risk Management Monash IVF Group provides a framework for risk management which supports the achievement of our strategic and operational objectives. We are committed to maintaining an organisational philosophy and culture which ensures that effective risk management is integrated into day to day activities. The Group maintains a Risk Register that documents all identified risks, lists appropriate preventative actions to mitigate risks, reviews process of risk reduction and nominates responsible persons who take ownership of the risk strategy process. The Risk Register is reviewed by the Risk Owners, Leadership Teams and Executive Team help determine whether risks are still current, controls are effective and identify any emerging risks, which are then flagged to the Audit and Risk Management Committee. A review of Risk Management is undertaken annually. Specialist software used to record adverse events and feedback ensures that exposures to risk are continually monitored to ensure they are adequately understood and managed. This system of reporting also allows for formal monitoring of patient safety, identification training needs and informs clinical policy decision making. 7.3 Internal Audit Monash IVF Group Limited does not have a designated Internal Audit Function at present but the Group performs internal audit activities from a clinical and operational perspective to ensure compliance with various external accreditation requirements. The CEO and CFO have key responsibilities in ensuring that internal controls are in place, operating effectively and reviewed for continual improvement. As part of the various accreditation and licencing processes undertaken by the business, key internal audit functions are undertaken. These audits are then made available to accreditation and licensing bodies. Certain financial internal controls are tested by KPMG as part of their financial statement audit procedures. The Group believes internal controls implemented such as segregation of duties, delegation processes, treasury controls and structured approval processes counter many risks. The Group will continue to assess whether an independent third party internal audit function or designated in-house internal audit function is required. 7.4 Risk Exposure Monash IVF Group Limited provides assisted reproductive services in Australia and Malaysia and specialist women’s imaging services in Australia. The Group is committed to performing services in an open and transparent environment and in a manner that is honest and ethical. The Group embraces responsibility for corporate actions and encourages a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including patients, employees, investors and the community. Since its early pioneering days in assisted reproductive treatment, resulting in the first IVF pregnancy in 1973, Monash IVF Group Limited has played an important role in the local communities it serves and society at large. Its focus on evidenced based fertility care provides the opportunity to commit resources to scientific research, clinical teaching and training. The Group’s services are offered to all and do not discriminate, including nature and complexities of infertility. From an ethical and social perspective, Monash IVF Group Limited and its subsidiary companies ensure national regulation and state legislation drives the standards of care to ensure it protects its patients, donors and any children born as a result of treatment provided by the Group. All Monash IVF Group facilities meet the appropriate standards for accreditation including: • • • • Assisted reproductive treatment sites in Australia are accredited with the Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee (RTAC) and the Group ensures appropriate documentation is held by sites, Doctors, nurses and scientists. This accreditation incorporates components covering ethics and safety in practice and management of adverse events. Day surgeries are accredited with National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standards which ensure quality standards are consistent with an exceptional standard of care expected by consumers in health facilities. Diagnostic laboratories are accredited to ISO 15189 and relevant NPAAC Guidelines. 48 68 | Monash IVF Group YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Corporate Governance Statement continued Corporate Governance Statement Principle 7 Recognise and Manage Risk (continued) • • Diagnostic imaging (ultrasound) facilities are accredited with the Department of Health Diagnostic Imaging Accreditation Scheme (DIAS). The Group’s Malaysian clinic whilst not legally requiring the same level of regulation, operates to the same standards having been externally accredited to the international RTAC standards. The Group recognises that its staff and Doctors are instrumental to the success of the Organisation. Comprehensive recruitment, credentialing, induction, training and development programs are designed to attract and retain staff equipped to deliver outstanding customer care. Staff actively participate in the continual improvement of the Group’s internal policies and processes and are encouraged to participate in innovation and research. The Monash IVF Group Workplace Health and Safety Policy framework covers policies on general safety in the workplace. Monash IVF Group Limited recognises protecting the environment is a critical issue and a key responsibility of the Business and corporate community. Monash IVF Group is an organisation that is not involved in manufacturing or resource extraction and hence it considers its environmental footprint to be small. The Group adopts a philosophy of clinical excellence in an environment of safe and supportive service provision. No material environmental or social sustainability risks have been identified. The Group adopts the approach of a responsible corporate citizen with regard to the management of waste and hazardous materials. The Group is not a significant consumer of electricity, water or gas and accordingly, the opportunities for material reductions in utility consumption are limited. The Quality Management System in place in each laboratory supports the review and monitoring of quality of product from suppliers. New consumables undergo a full quality screening process and products are thoroughly evaluated to review where and how products are manufactured before being used in the laboratories. All products are reviewed formally on an annual basis to ensure they maintain quality standards and informally on a day to day basis. Currently all Monash IVF Group clinics use predominantly products from the top two suppliers of laboratory products in Australia in order to maintain consistency in quality. The Group takes cyber security and its potential consequences extremely seriously. The Group has comprehensive security arrangements in place to isolate attacks on its systems and ensure that attempted intrusions are identified and viruses are not spread across the Group’s network or systems. The Group’s IT systems operate safely and securely as demonstrated by a recent cyber-attack that failed to propagate through our systems. Our preventative controls isolated the attack to a comparatively small subset of system resources, while we hardened our firewall and email filtering to stop this and future attacks from coming through. Numerous levels of redundancy and backup are built into the IT systems providing a high degree of system availability and protection of data. The Group periodically engages an independent third party to review the Group’s cyber security risk. Recommendations from these reviews continue to be implemented and the Group continues to invest to further enhance cyber security measures in place. Economic risk continues to be potentially material to Monash IVF Group Limited. Our services in Australia are indirectly funded to a significant extent by the Australian Federal Government through the Medicare Benefit Schedule and Extended Medicare Safety Net. Any change to the funding arrangements could lead to a reduction in revenue affecting financial performance and sustainability of the Group. Market contraction and changes to market dynamics can significantly affect business outcomes and is a risk for the Group. Market competitiveness has heightened in recent years with the introduction of low cost providers. One area where Monash IVF Group Limited has been integral in leading the industry has been in advocating for governing bodies to be more transparent in reporting outcomes of treatments to allow patients to be better informed before commencing treatment. Tightening industry standards on consistency of data gathering, outcome reporting and transparency of results to the community will lead to improved outcomes for patients and the industry generally. 49 Annual Report 2022 | 69 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Corporate Governance Statement continued Corporate Governance Statement Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly 8.1 Remuneration and Nomination Committee As outlined above under ‘Structure the Board to add value’ Monash IVF Group Limited has a combined Remuneration and Nomination Committee which assists the Board with discharging its responsibilities to Shareholders with regard to developing and monitoring remuneration policies and practices for Directors, Senior Executives and employees.

The Monash IVF Group Limited Remuneration Policy can be found on the Group website at: http://ir.monashivfgroup.com.au/Investor-Centre/?page=Corporate-Governance 8.3 Equity Based remuneration The Board may award incentive payments to the CEO, CFO and Senior Executives in the form of equity. The Corporations Act prohibits key management personnel (or closely-related parties) of an ASX-listed Australian company from entering into an arrangement that would limit their exposure to an element of their remuneration subject to a holding lock. Equity-based awards are made on the condition that Corporations Act requirements are complied with. Directors and officers cannot buy and sell securities when in possession of price sensitive information and during at minimum the following periods, referred to as Prohibited Periods: • the period from the end of the Company’s financial year (30 June) until the announcement of the Company’s full year results to the ASX; the period from the end of the Company’s half year (31 December) until the announcement of the Company’s half year results to the ASX. Approval from the Chair is required prior to any transacting in shares contemplated by directors and Managing Director, and approval from the Managing Director for any transacting contemplated by the CFO and Company Secretary. A copy of the Securities Trading Policy is available on the Company’s website. Directors and senior executives are not permitted to hedge their exposure to Company securities. Employees, directors and senior executives are not permitted to use Company securities as collateral in any financial transaction, including margin loan arrangements. 70 | Monash IVF Group 50 YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Monash IVF Group Limited Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 93 Revenue from services Employee benefits expense(1) Clinician fees Raw materials and consumables used IT and communications expense Depreciation expense Amortisation expense Property expense Marketing and advertising expense Professional and other fees Other expenses Operating profit Net finance costs Profit before tax Income tax expense Net profit after tax for the year Other comprehensive income/(loss) Items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss: Exchange difference on translation of foreign operations Other comprehensive income/(loss) for the year, net of tax Total comprehensive income for the year Profit attributable to: Owners of the Company Non-controlling interests Profit for the year Total comprehensive income attributable to: Owners of the Company Non-controlling interests Total comprehensive income for the year Earnings per share Basic earnings per share (cents) Diluted earnings per share (cents) Note 2.4,2.5 2.6 4.4 1.5 Consolidated 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 Restated (2) 192,294 183,605 (66,877) (33,621) (19,787) (4,464) (12,354) (2,434) (5,525) (6,434) (7,509) (4,920) 28,369 (2,147) 26,222 (7,720) 18,502 (194) (194) 18,308 18,406 96 18,502 18,212 96 18,308 (55,765) (32,673) (19,893) (4,179) (10,703) (1,854) (3,820) (6,387) (3,814) (5,866) 38,651 (2,451) 36,200 (10,513) 25,687 (233) (233) 25,454 25,330 357 25,687 25,097 357 25,454 1.4 1.4 4.7 4.7 6.5 6.5 (1) FY2021 Includes JobKeeper Subsidy impact of $5.06m (refer note 1.1).

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Rendering of services Revenue from rendering of services is recognised on completion of services provided. Revenue is recognised when the customer has consumed the benefits of the service, whether on completion of a medical procedure, on supply of drugs, or on completion of analytical tests. If payments received from patients exceed the revenue recognised, the difference is recognised as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue Fees for fertility treatment paid in advance of performing the service are recognised as deferred revenue until the time the service is rendered to the customer when the fees are recognised as revenue. Government grants Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are recognised in comprehensive income over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. In March 2020, the Australian Government announced the introduction of JobKeeper, an economic response package to the Coronavirus pandemic. Under the JobKeeper grant, businesses impacted by the Coronavirus were able to access a subsidy from the Government to continue paying their employees. Employers who have turnover under $1 billion were eligible for the subsidy if their turnover reduces by more than 30 per cent relative to the comparable prior year period for at least a month between April and September 2020. The COVID-19 impact on the group turnover in April 2020 resulted in a greater than 30% reduction compared to April 2019 due to the temporary suspension of IVF procedures requiring hospitalisation between 25 March and 27 April 2020 in Australia. Accordingly, the Group was eligible to claim a fortnightly payment of $1,500 per eligible employee from 30 March 2020 to 30 September 2020. JobKeeper payments receivable from the ATO are recognised by a ‘for profit’ entity as a government grant as the payment is a wage subsidy provided by the Government with the objective of keeping the organisation connected with the economy and their workers during the COVID-19 pandemic period between April and September 2020. The related amounts paid to employees are recognised as employee benefit expenses. The JobKeeper payment is recognised only when there is reasonable assurance that the organisation will comply with the conditions and that the grant will be received. The income is recognised in profit and loss matching the employee salary expense which is what the grant was intended to compensate. 76 | Monash IVF Group 56 YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 1.1 Revenue and Expenses (continued) As a government grant, there is an accounting policy choice whereby the organisation presents the grant income gross from the expense or net of the related expense. The grant income has been disclosed net of the related employee expense as the subsidy support was used to fund existing employee wages during the period. The grant amount recognised in employee benefits expense is $0.0m (FY21: $5.7m). 1.2 Operating segments The Group determines and presents operating segments based on information that internally is provided to and used by the Chief Executive Officer, who is the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. The financial results of each operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Chief Executive Officer in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Segment results that are reported to the Chief Executive Officer include items directly attributable to a segment, as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, head office expenses and income tax assets and liabilities. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill. The basis of inter-segmental transfers is market pricing. Results are calculated before consideration of net borrowing costs and tax expense. Identification of reportable operating segments The two geographic segments being Australia and International reflect Monash IVF Group’s reporting structure to the CODM. Monash IVF Group considers that the two geographic segments are appropriate for segment reporting purposes under AASB 8 “Operating Segments”. These segments comprise the following operations: - Monash IVF Group Australia: provider of Assisted Reproductive Services, Ultrasound and other related services. - Monash IVF Group International: provider of Assisted Reproductive Services in South East Asia. 57 Annual Report 2022 | 77 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Segment results 2022 Total revenue – external Underlying EBIT (before non-recurring items)(1) Acquisition costs (1) Commissioning costs (1) Fertility Solutions Earn Out(1) Reported EBIT Net finance costs Profit before income tax expense Income tax expense Profit for the year Depreciation and amortisation expense Segment assets Acquisition of plant and equipment and intangibles Segment liabilities 2021(Restated) (3)(4) Total revenue – external Underlying EBIT (before non-recurring items)(2) Proceeds from JobKeeper(2) Fertility Solutions Earn Out(2) Sydney CBD clinic premise costs(2) Reported EBIT Net finance costs Profit before income tax expense Income tax expense Profit for the year Depreciation and amortisation expense Segment assets Acquisition of plant and equipment and intangibles Segment liabilities Monash IVF Group Australia $’000 182,098 30,578 (2,142) (1,855) (395) 26,186 (2,110) 24,076 (7,062) 17,014 (14,073) 365,305 11,759 104,235 Monash IVF Group Australia $’000 172,902 31,456 5,058 (678) (848) 34,988 (2,350) 32,638 (9,652) 22,986 (11,917) 336,543 9,916 79,124 Monash IVF Group International $’000 10,196 2,831 - (648) - 2,183 (37) 2,146 (658) 1,488 (715) 15,513 499 6,690 Monash IVF Group International $’000 10,703 3,663 - - - 3,663 (101) 3,562 (861) 2,701 (640) 13,923 117 2,900 Total $’000 192,294 33,409 (2,142) (2,503) (395) 28,369 (2,147) 26,222 (7,720) 18,502 (14,788) 380,818 12,258 110,925 Total $’000 183,605 35,119 5,058 (678) (848) 38,651 (2,451) 36,200 (10,513) 25,687 (12,557) 350,466 10,033 82,024 (1) Non-regular items include transaction costs on acquisition opportunities ($2,141,934 pre-tax), commission costs including lease expenditures ($2,502,703 pre-tax) and Fertility Solutions Earn Out Fair Value adjustment ($395,306).

Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: • • The initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Offsetting deferred tax Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. Tax consolidation Monash IVF Group Limited and its wholly Australian owned controlled entities are part of a tax consolidation group under Australian taxation law. Monash IVF Group Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Entities within the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax sharing agreement with the head entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, Monash IVF Group Limited and each of the entities in the tax consolidated group have agreed to pay (or receive) a tax equivalent payment to (or from) the head entity, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of the entity. Key estimate and judgement: Recovery of deferred tax assets Key estimate and judgement: Income taxes A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where foreign operations. it has Judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes and in assessing whether deferred tax balances are recognised on the statement of financial position.

Trade receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method less provision for expected credit losses. A financial asset (including trade receivables) not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. AASB 9 replaced the ‘incurred loss model’ in AASB 139 with an ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. Loss allowances for trade receivables are measured at an amount equal to 12 month ECLs. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience, debtor ageing and credit assessment including forward-looking information. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a patient or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables, being patients. 63 Annual Report 2022 | 83 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 2.1 Trade and other receivables (continued) Patient fees for most treatments are received in advance and recognised as deferred revenue if the procedure is yet to be performed. This reduces the risk of non-collectability. Outstanding receivables predominantly relate to amounts owing from Medicare and storage fee patient accounts. Payment reminder notices are issued to patients with outstanding balances at 30, 60 and 90 days. After which, collection of this debt may be handled by a collection agency. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group. Prepayments Payments made for the receiving of goods or services rendered in future years are recognised as a prepayment. 2.2 Inventory Consumables – at cost Total inventory 2022 $’000 5,254 5,254 2021 $’000 4,217 4,217 Inventories are recorded using the FIFO method and are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing costs. When parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of plant and equipment and are recognised on a net basis within “other income” in profit or loss. The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day- to-day servicing of the plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Key estimate and judgement: Depreciation The Group’s plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful economic lives between 2-10 years. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. 2.5 Right of Use Assets Leases as lessee $’000 Cost Opening balance at 1 July Additions / modifications Disposals Closing balance at 30 June Accumulated depreciation Opening balance at 1 July Depreciation for the year Disposals Closing balance at 30 June Carrying amount At 1 July (Opening balance) At 30 June (Closing balance) Buildings 2022 Equipment Total 68,322 30,394 (1,479) 97,237 (27,171) (7,429) 1,006 (33,594) 1,770 70,092 - 30,394 (1,479) - 99,007 1,770 (571) (176) (27,742) (7,605) - 1,006 (34,341) (747) 41,151 63,643 1,199 1,023 42,350 64,666 65 Annual Report 2022 | 85 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT 2.5 Right of Use Assets (continued) $’000 Cost Opening balance at 1 July Additions / modifications Disposals Closing balance at 30 June Accumulated depreciation Opening balance at 1 July Depreciation for the year Disposals Closing balance at 30 June Carrying amount At 1 July (Opening balance) At 30 June (Closing balance) Buildings 2021 Equipment Total 57,705 12,397 (1,780) 68,322 (22,566) (6,323) 1,718 (27,171) 1,770 59,475 - 12,397 (1,780) - 70,092 1,770 (395) (176) - (571) (22,961) (6,499) 1,718 (27,742) 35,139 41,151 1,375 1,199 36,514 42,350 The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if the rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by the lease payment made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised. The Group leases property and equipment. The leases typically run for a period of between one to ten years, with an option to renew the lease after this date. Lease payments are renegotiated at periods to reflect market rentals. The Group has elected not to recognise right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term and/or low value assets such as IT and office equipment.

Where practicable, the Group seeks to include extension options in new leases to provide operational flexibility. The extension options held are exercisable by the Group and not by the lessors. The Group assesses at lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or significant changes in circumstances within its control. The Group has estimated that the potential future lease payments, should it exercise the extension option, would result in an increase in lease liability of $5.9 million. 2.6 Intangible assets $’000 2022 Net book value Balance at 1 July 2021(1) Additions Amortisation expense Balance at 30 June 2022 At 30 June 2022 Cost Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses Balance at 30 June 2022 2021 Net book value Balance at 1 July 2020 Amortisation expense Balance at 30 June 2021(1) At 30 June 2021 Cost Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses Balance at 30 June 2021(1) Goodwill Software Trademark Total 233,169 - - 233,169 233,169 - 233,169 233,169 - 233,169 233,169 - 233,169 6,259 2,054 (2,434) 5,879 14,093 (8,214) 5,879 8,113 (1,854) 6,259 12,039 (5,780) 6,259 19,845 - - 19,845 19,845 - 19,845 19,845 - 19,845 19,845 - 19,845 259,273 2,054 (2,434) 258,893 267,107 (8,214) 258,893 261,127 (1,854) 259,273 267,060 (7,787) 259,273 (1) 30 June 2021 has been restated due to the IFRS Interpretations Committee decision in relation to accounting for Software as a Service (refer to note 6.2). Software Software has a finite useful life and is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The cost of system development, including purchased software, is capitalised and amortised over the estimated useful life, being three to eight years. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate. 67 Annual Report 2022 | 87 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 2.6 Intangible assets (continued) Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements SaaS arrangements are service contracts providing the Group with the right to access the cloud provider’s application software over the contract period. As such, the Group does not receive a software intangible asset at the contract commencement date. The following outlines the accounting treatment of costs incurred in relation to SaaS arrangements: - Costs recognised as an operating expense over the term of the service contract include fees for use of - application software and customization costs. Costs recognised as an operating expense as the service is received include configuration costs, data conversion and migration costs, testing costs and training costs. - Costs incurred for the development of software code that enhance or modifies or creates additional capability to an existing on premise system, and meets the definition of and recognition criteria for an intangible asset are recognized as intangible software assets. Trademark Trademarks are reported at historical cost less impairment. Trademarks have an indefinite useful life where there is no expiry and no foreseeable limit on the period of time over which these assets are expected to contribute to the cash flows of the Group. Similar to goodwill, these are tested for impairment annually. Goodwill Goodwill on consolidation represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of net identifiable assets of the acquired entities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Impairment testing Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets become impaired when their carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell or value in use. In determining the recoverable amount, judgments and assumptions are made in the determination of likely net sale proceeds or in the determination of future cash flows which support a value in use. Specifically, with respect to future cash flows, judgments are made in respect to the quantum of those future cash flows and the discount rates (cost of capital and debt) applied to determining the net present value of these future cash flows. The carrying amounts of the Group’s non financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the ‘cash-generating’ units). The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 88 | Monash IVF Group 68 YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 2.6 Intangible assets (continued) The following CGUs were tested for impairment during the year: Goodwill and trademark allocated to: Australia Ultrasound International 2022 $’000 219,030 28,232 5,752 253,014 2021 $’000 219,030 28,232 5,752 253,014 Impairment testing assumptions The recoverable amount of a CGU is based on value-in-use calculations. The following key assumptions were utilised for the impairment testing: - The respective discount rate was a pre-tax measure based on the rate of 10 year Government bonds issued by the Australian and Malaysian Government respectively in the relevant market, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the increased risk of investing in equities generally and the systemic risk of the specific CGU. A pre- tax discount rate of 10.5% (FY21: 10.4%) for the Australian CGU, 10.5% (FY21: 10.4%) for the Ultrasound CGU and 11.5% (FY21: 11.1%) for the International CGU was applied in determining the recoverable amount. The discount rate and related risk factors also had regard to the current COVID-19 environment. - Cash flow forecasts are based on the Board-approved FY23 budget, projected for four years plus a terminal value. The FY23 budget reflects management’s best estimate of forecast operating performance having regard to the IVF markets in Australia and Malaysia, anticipated ultrasound activity as the business emerges from COVID-19 impacted operational challenges and economic uncertainties during and post the COVID-19 pandemic. - A long-term growth rate into perpetuity of 3.0% (FY21: 2.5%) has been determined based on an assessment of historical growth rates, expectations of future growth rates and market specific dynamics. Impact of possible changes in key assumptions All CGU’s in the Group have been tested for impairment and have met their required hurdle rates to support the current carrying values. Any reasonable possible change to relevant assumptions and inputs would not result in the recoverable amount being lower than the carrying amount, noting that recovery of the Ultrasound CGU to historical levels of activity is a key input in the Group’s assessment.. Result of Impairment testing The recoverable amount of all CGU’s are deemed recoverable. 69 Annual Report 2022 | 89 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 Section 3 Our People This section provides financial insight into employee reward and recognition for creating a high performance culture and the Group’s ability to attract and retain talent.

All other employee benefits are measured at their present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by the employees up to the reporting date. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on corporate bonds issued by the relevant markets that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. 3.2 Share-based payments Senior executives’ long-term incentive plan The Group will provide benefits to certain employees in the form of share-based payment options and/or performance rights. The fair values of these instruments granted under the plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the instruments. Fair value is measured at grant date using a combination of Binomial tree and Monte-Carlo Simulation models, for the respective performance hurdles. The valuation was performed by an independent valuer which models the future security price. The fair value of the instruments granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of instruments that are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of instruments that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit and loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Under the Company’s Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) Plan, awards constituting share appreciation rights, performance rights or options, or any different class or category of award on such terms as the Board determines, may be offered to eligible persons selected by the Directors. Key management personnel and other senior management are eligible to participate under the LTI Program. 70 90 | Monash IVF Group YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 3.2 Share-based payments (continued) The senior executive LTI are performance rights plans with vesting rights dependent upon the satisfaction of pre- defined performance hurdles and continuous employment.

Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders. The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital structure. In order to maintain an optimal capital structure, the Group may amend the amount of dividends declared and paid, return capital to shareholders or increase borrowings or equity to fund growth and future acquisitions.

Escrow arrangements The following ordinary shareholders have entered into voluntary escrow arrangements in relation to certain ordinary shares they hold in Monash IVF Group Ltd.

This concluded the release of the pre-IPO doctor short-term escrow. Shares held in long-term escrow are subject to the following conditions: 1. Shares equivalent to 20% of a Doctor’s interest prior to the re-organisation will be released when the Doctor reaches the age of 63. These shares may be otherwise released from escrow in the following circumstances: - for Doctors who were aged 63 or older at the time of re-organisation or who turned 63 within two years of Completion, these shares can be released from escrow from June 2016; or - where a Doctor becomes a ‘relocated leaver’ (as described below), these Shares can be released from escrow five years after the date that they become a ‘relocated leaver’; or - where a Doctor dies or leaves the Group as a result of becoming permanently disabled or seriously disabled, these shares can be released from escrow on the date of the relevant occurrence (as resolved by the Board acting reasonably); or if the Board determines to release the shares from escrow earlier. - 75 Annual Report 2022 | 95 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 4.1 Share capital and reserves (continued) 2. Shares equivalent to 20% of a Doctor’s interest prior to re-organisation can be released from escrow: - on retirement by the Doctor from the ARS industry (provided a Doctor must have used their best endeavours to transition their practice to another Doctor to the satisfaction of the Board); or if the Doctor becomes a ‘good leaver’ or a ‘relocated leaver’ (as described below); or five years after the Doctor leaves Monash IVF Group in other circumstances. - - Doctors will be able to sell any non-escrowed Shares at any time, subject to complying with insider trading restrictions and the Group’s Securities Trading Policy. The escrow arrangements describe the circumstances in which a Doctor is a ‘good leaver’ or a ‘relocated leaver’ in the following manner: (a) A Doctor is a ‘good leaver’ where: - - they leave the Group as a result of death, serious disability or permanent incapacity through ill health (as determined by the Group’s Board, acting reasonably); or they or the Group terminates the Doctor’s contract in specific circumstances; or The Board determines, in its discretion, that the Doctor is a ‘good leaver’. (b) A Doctor is a ‘relocated leaver’ if they terminate their contract and the Board is satisfied that: - - - the Doctor genuinely intends to relocate permanently to a place which is more than 100 km from any clinic operated by the Group or any of its subsidiaries; and the Doctor also intends to provide Assisted Reproductive Services in the place the Doctor is relocating to; and the Doctor has used their best endeavours to transition their practice to another Doctor at the Group.

The escrow arrangements describing the circumstances in which a SUFW Doctor is a ‘good leaver’ or a ‘relocated leaver’ is the same as described above. 4.2 Financial risk management The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: Liquidity risk; Foreign exchange risk; Interest risk; and - - - - Market risk. This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report. 96 | Monash IVF Group 76 YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 4.2 Financial risk management (continued) Risk management policies are in place to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its recruitment, training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The group manages this risk through the following mechanisms: - Preparing forward-looking financial analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities; - Monitoring undrawn credit facilities; - Obtaining funding from a variety of sources; - Maintaining a reputable credit profile; - Managing credit risk related to financial assets; - Only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and - Comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting arrangements, subject to the Group meeting future undertakings.

Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the consolidated entity to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk may be managed using a mix of floating rate debt and fixed rate instruments. Interest rate swaps may be used to mitigate interest rate risk on floating rate debt. Interest rate swaps are not entered into for trading purposes and are not classified as held for trading. The interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to management of the Group is as follows including the impact of hedging instruments: Fixed rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities Variable rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities 2022 $’000 967 (67,466) (66,499) 6,752 (9,764) (3,012) 2021 $’000 1,754 (44,359) (42,605) 7,007 (1,629) 5,378 Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A reasonable possible change of a 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased /(decreased) equity and profit or loss by $30,120 (FY21: $53,780). This assumes that all other variables remain constant. Market risk – Operational risk The Group is exposed to legislative and/or Government policy changes to funding for IVF and related healthcare services which may impact patient out-of-pocket costs resulting in potentially higher or lower demand. 4.3 Borrowings Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date, the loans and borrowings are classified as non-current.

Recognition and measurement Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting The Group may hold derivative financial instruments to hedge certain floating interest rate exposures. On initial designation of the hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedging items, including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the change in the cash flows of the respective hedged items during the period for which the hedge is designated, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80-125 percent. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported profit or loss. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributed transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value and changes to therein are accounted for as described below. All derivative financial instruments are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 4.4 Net Finance Costs Finance income Interest income Finance costs Interest expense Amortisation of borrowing costs(1) Interest on lease liabilities Total finance costs Net finance costs 2022 $’000 4 377 54 1,720 2,151 2,147 (1) Includes interest and amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings. 2021 $’000 1 725 341 1,386 2,452 2,451 79 Annual Report 2022 | 99 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT 4.5 Cash and cash equivalents Cash at bank Short-term bank deposits Total cash and cash equivalents Reconciliation of profit after income tax to net cash inflow from operating activities Profit for the period Adjustments: Depreciation and amortisation Net finance cost included in financing activities Provision for Fertility Solutions Earn-out Provision for expected credit losses Acquisition, Lease Accounting and Other Operating profit before changes in working capital and provisions Change in net operating assets and liabilities (Increase)/decrease in trade and other receivables (Increase)/decrease in inventory Increase/(decrease) in trade and other payables Increase/(decrease) in provisions and employee benefits Increase/(decrease) in income and deferred taxes Net cash from operating activities 2022 $’000 6,907 967 7,874 2022 $’000 18,502 14,788 427 395 15 3,191 37,318 (2,702) (1,037) 678 350 (2,718) 31,889 2021 $’000 7,007 1,754 8,761 2021 $’000 Restated (1) 25,687 12,557 1,065 678 84 649 40,720 640 (268) (2,140) 1,470 3,557 43,979 (1) 30 June 2021 has been restated due to the IFRS Interpretations Committee decision in relation to accounting for Software as a Service (refer to note 6.2). 100 | Monash IVF Group 80 YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 Section 5 Our Business Portfolio This section provides further insight into the legal structure and group of subsidiary companies. 5.1 Controlled entities 5.3 Parent equity 5.2 Investments accounted for using the equity method 5.1 Controlled entities Parent entity Monash IVF Group Limited Controlled entities Healthbridge Enterprises Pty Ltd Monash IVF Group Acquisitions Pty Ltd Healthbridge IVF Holdings Pty Ltd Healthbridge Shared Services Pty Ltd Healthbridge Repromed Pty Ltd Repromed Finance Pty Ltd Repromed Holdings Pty Ltd Repromed NZ Holding Pty Ltd Repromed Australia Pty Ltd Adelaide Fertility Centre Pty Ltd Monash IVF Holdings Pty Ltd Monash IVF Finance Pty Ltd Monash IVF Pty Ltd Monash Reproductive Pathology and Genetics Pty Ltd Monash Ultrasound Pty Ltd Monash IVF Auchenflower Pty Ltd Yoncat Pty Ltd My IVF Pty Ltd ACN 169 060 495 Pty Ltd Palantrou Pty Ltd ACN 166 701 819 Pty Ltd ACN 166 702 487 Pty Ltd KL Fertility & Gynaecology Centre Sdn.

Configuration or customisation costs in a cloud computing arrangement (April 2021) – this decision discusses whether configuration or customisation expenditure relating to SaaS arrangements can be recognised as an intangible asset and if not, over the period the expenditure is expensed. The Group’s accounting policy has historically been to capitalise all costs related to SaaS arrangements as intangible assets in the Statement of Financial Position. The adoption of the above agenda decisions has resulted in a reclassification of these intangible assets to either a prepaid asset in the Statement of Financial Position and/or recognition as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, impacting both the current and/or prior periods presented. As a result, Monash IVF has amended its accounting policy to align with the IFRS IC agenda decision and retrospectively adjusted these intangible assets in the statement of financial position. The impact of this change in accounting policy for the comparative reporting period and the beginning of the earliest period presented is shown below. All adjustments outlined below relates to the Australian segment. 85 Annual Report 2022 | 105 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 6.2 Comparative Balances (continued) Consolidated statement of financial position 1 July 2021 Assets Intangible asset Net deferred tax liability Total Assets Equity Profit reserves Total Equity 1 July 2020 Assets Intangible asset Net deferred tax liability Total Assets Equity Profit reserves Total Equity Reported $’000 Adjusted $’000 Restated $’000 $’000 259,976 (703) 259,273 (769) 211 (558) (492) 258,715 259,207 59,501 (492) 59,009 (492) 59,009 59,501 Reported $’000 Adjusted $’000 Restated $’000 262,165 (1,551) 260,614 (1,073) 322 (751) 261,092 (1,229) 259,863 42,535 42,535 (751) (751) 41,784 41,784 Consolidated statement of comprehensive income Period ended 30 June 2021 IT and communications expense Amortisation expense Profit before tax Income tax expenses Profit for the period Total comprehensive income for the year Earnings per share Basic Diluted Reported $’000 (4,104) (2,189) 35,940 (10,435) 25,505 25,272 Adjusted $’000 Restated $’000 (75) (4,179) 335 (1,854) 260 36,200 (78) (10,513) 25,687 182 25,454 182 6.5 6.4 6.5 6.5 Consolidated statement of cashflows Period ended 30 June 2021 Payments to suppliers and employees Reported $’000 (139,149) Adjusted Restated $’000 (75) (139,224) $’000 Net cash from operation activities 44,054 (75) 43,979 Payments for property, plant and equipment and intangibles Net cash from investing activities (10,033) 75 (9,958) (11,287) 75 (11,212) 106 | Monash IVF Group 86 YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 6.3 Events occurring after the reporting period On 18 May 2022, Monash IVF Group Limited announced entry into a binding sale agreement for the acquisition of PIVET Medical Centre (“PIVET”) which is a Perth, Western Australia and Cairns, Queensland provider of fertility services and has nine fertility specialists.

Except as disclosed above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material or unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future financial periods. 6.4 Commitment and contingencies As announced to the ASX on 23 December 2020, Monash IVF Group became aware that it and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in proceedings filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria in relation to, or in connection with, the Group’s non-invasive pre-implantation genetic screening technology (Ni-PGT or cell-free PGT-A). The proceedings filed makes a series of allegations against Monash IVF Group in relation to the Ni-PGT testing including those patients who had embryos classified as aneuploid as a result of Ni-PGT testing may have had embryos destroyed or did not proceed to embryo transfer. Ni-PGT testing was suspended in October 2020. The Group has filed the defence in accordance with the Court’s directions. The Group has notified its insurers of the claim. The Group has provided for associated costs expected to be incurred in defending the claim. The claim does not specify an amount of damages and it is not currently possible to determine the ultimate impact of this claim, if any, on the Group. 87 Annual Report 2022 | 107 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 6.5 Reporting entity Monash IVF Group Ltd (the ‘Company’) is a for profit company primarily involved in the area of assisted reproductive services and the provision of specialist women’s imaging services. Monash IVF Group Ltd was incorporated on 30 April 2014. The Company is incorporated in Australia and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Its registered office is at Level 1, 21-31 Goodwood Street, Richmond, Victoria and is limited by shares. The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its controlled entities (collectively ‘the consolidated entity’, ‘Monash Group’ or ‘Group’). 6.6 Basis of preparation Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements of the Group comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the international Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 26 August 2022. Functional and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional and presentational currency of the Company and the majority of the Group. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Rounding of amounts The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), relating to the rounding of amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with that legislative instrument to the nearest thousand, unless specifically stated to be otherwise. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Monash IVF Group Ltd as at 30 June 2022 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its 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 Group until the date on which control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. Intra-group balances and transactions, arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated at consolidation. Non-controlling interests are measured initially at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The Group’s interests in equity-accounted investees comprise interests in associates. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Interests in associates and the joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and OCI of equity accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence ceases. 108 | Monash IVF Group 88 YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 6.6 Basis of preparation (continued) Basis of measurement The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical cost (unless otherwise stated), except for derivative financial instruments and contingent consideration assumed in a business combination, which have been measured at fair value. Foreign currency translation Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at foreign exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised costs in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical costs in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI), and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity. Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: (i) Estimated recoverable amount of goodwill and other non-current assets The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policy for intangible assets. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows, which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units, or CGUs). Refer to Note 2.6 for further details on impairment testing. (ii) Provision for ECL on receivables The Group calculates the doubtful debts provision under the ECL model. The Group assesses credit losses based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. Measurement of ECL allowance for trade receivables is disclosed in Note 2.1. (iii) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost. 89 Annual Report 2022 | 109 OUR STRATEGYBOARD OF DIRECTORSOUR PILLARSMANAGEMENT TEAMFY22 FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL OVERVIEWCFO REPORT CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S REPORT Monash IVF Group Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 for the year ended 30 June 2022 6.6 Basis of preparation (continued) (iv) Deferred consideration The measurement of deferred consideration requires management to estimate the amount likely to be paid in the future. This requires the exercise of judgement, in particular where the amounts is payable is dependent to the future financial performance of the business that has been acquired. (v) Leases The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised. The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases, including IT equipment. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of- use asset has been reduced to zero. Going concern As at 30 June 2022, the group has a net current asset deficiency of $12,531,000 (FY21: $18,579,000). The Directors consider that there are reasonable grounds to believe the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due based on forecast operating cash flows which indicate that cash reserves are sufficient to fund operations, the availability of committed but undrawn external debt facilities, and given certain current liabilities such as employee entitlements and deferred revenue will not be fully settled in the short term to cause a liquidity shortfall. The Directors have considered forecast cash flow scenarios for at least the twelve month period from the date of approval of these financial statements. As a result, the Directors consider that the Group is able to pay its debts as and when they are due and these financial statements can be prepared on a going concern basis. 6.7 New standards and interpretations A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2022 and earlier applications permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The following new and amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements: • • • • Reference to Conceptual Framework (Amendments to AASB 3) Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to AASB 116) Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to AASB 101) Recognising deferred tax on leases (Amendments to AASB 112) 110 | Monash IVF Group 90 YEAR IN REVIEWABOUT USGROWING THE FUTURE Monash IVF Group Limited Directors’ Declaration Directors’ Declaration for the year ended 30 June 2021 for the year ended 30 June 2021 1.

This matter was 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 this matter. Recoverable value of goodwill ($233.2 million) Refer to Note 2.6 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit At 30 June 2022 the Group’s balance sheet includes goodwill contained within three cash generating units (CGUs) – Australia, International and Ultrasound. A key audit matter for us was the Group’s annual testing of goodwill for impairment, given the size of the balance (being 61% of total assets) and the extent of judgement involved. We focused on the significant forward-looking assumptions the Group applied in its value in use models, including: • Forecast cash flows, growth rates and terminal growth rates in light of market conditions impacting each CGU and continued economic uncertainties during and post the COVID-19 pandemic. These conditions impact our consideration of forecasting risk; and • Discount rates, which vary according to the conditions and environment the specific CGU is subject to from time to time. The models are largely manually developed, use adjusted historical performance and a range of internal and external sources as inputs to the assumptions. Modelling using forward-looking assumptions tends to be prone to greater risk for potential bias, error and inconsistent application. Where the Group has not met prior year forecasts in relation to a specific CGU we factor forecast this assumptions. These conditions necessitate additional scrutiny by us, in particular to address the objectivity of sources used for assumptions, and their consistent application. assessment our into of We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior audit team members in assessing this key audit matter. Our procedures included: • We considered the appropriateness of the Group’s value in use methodology to perform the annual test of goodwill for impairment against the requirements of the accounting standards. • We assessed the integrity of models used, underlying calculation formulas. including the accuracy of the value in use the • We compared the forecast cash flows contained in the value in use models to Board approved forecasts. • We assessed the accuracy of previous Group forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts included in the models. • We assessed and documentation the Group’s underlying the methodology allocation of corporate costs and corporate assets to each CGU, for consistency with our understanding of the business and the criteria in the accounting standards. for • We considered the sensitivity of the models by varying key assumptions, such as forecast cash flows, growth rates and discount rates, within a reasonably possible range. We did this to identify those assumptions at higher risk of bias or inconsistency in application and to identify those CGUs at higher risk of impairment and to focus our further procedures. • We challenged the Group’s forecast cash flow and growth assumptions in light of the expected continuation of uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular focus on the Ultrasound CGU. We used our knowledge of the Group, business and patients and our industry experience.
