Dear Shareholder

Over  the  past  few  years,  your 
Company  has  been  pursuing 
strategies  to  diversify  into  new 
tyre  and  wheel  segments  and 
to  build  scale  that  will  deliver 
operating  synergies.  Being  a 
larger,  more  diversified  business 
enhances  our  ability  to  build  brands 
as  well  as  deliver  outstanding  experiences  and  value  to  
our customers. 

During the 2019 financial year, and in pursuit of these objectives, 
the Company: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Introduced upgraded and new products;

 Advanced the development of further products for release 
in the 2020 financial year;

 Expanded  its  wheel  distribution  into  New  Zealand  and 
South Africa;

 Leased  new  premises  in  Melbourne,  blending  logistics  for 
Exclusive  Tyre  Distributors  and  Dynamic  Wheel  Company  
in Victoria;

 Moved customer service operations to Brisbane, investing 
in  people  and  technology  to  enhance  the  value  of  those 
services; and

• 

 Launched the Dynamix customer loyalty program in South Africa.

Unfortunately, the positive impact of these initiatives was offset 
by adverse trading conditions. In particular:

• 

• 

• 

• 

 Import prices rose because of higher raw material costs and 
a falling AUD:USD exchange rate;

 Gross  profit  margins  fell  with  competitor  responses  to 
higher  import  prices  being  unusually  erratic  and  supplier 
assistance  to  competitiveness  concerns  being  less  than  
we expected; 

 Consumer  sentiment  deteriorated,  reducing  demand  for 
tyres generally and for premium products in particular; and 

 The South African business was adversely impacted when 
the  production  of  a  key  product  suddenly  ceased  during  
the year.  

During the 2019 financial year, the Company generated annual 
revenue of $168.4 million from its business base covering tyre 
and wheel importing and original equipment supplying, with a 
sectoral focus on 4WD, SUV and cars.  The Company converted 
this activity to an EBITDA of $12.8 million. 

The  Company’s  balance  sheet  is  strong  with  net  cash  at  
30 June 2019 of $6.2 million and a debt to equity ratio of 19%.

Directors declared a final dividend of 2.05 cents per share and 
a  special  dividend  of  1.5  cents  per  share  (both  fully  franked) 
which  were  paid  to  shareholders  on  13  September  2019, 
bringing the full year dividend to 4.8 cents (fully franked). The 
full year dividend (including the special dividend) represents a 
payout ratio of 62% of net profit after tax but before amortisation 
(NPATA), which is slightly higher than the Company’s policy of 
paying out 40% - 60% of NPATA. 

The  Company  now  employs  more  than  180  people  in  three 
countries (Australia, New Zealand and South Africa), operates 
11  distribution  centres  and  utilises  another  seven  third-party 
distribution  facilities.    The  business  now  sells  more  than 
1,000,000 tyres and wheels annually to over 2,000 customers.

The  difficult  trading  environment  encountered  in  the  2019 
financial  year  is  likely  to  continue.  The  Company  remains 
committed  to  delivering  diversity  and  scale.    Rather  than 
changing  course,  the  2019  financial  year  result  has  brought 
about an acceleration of existing plans to return the Company 
to a growth trajectory. These initiatives include:

• 

• 

• 

 increasing  the  scope  of  our  new  product  development 
program to have more affordable offerings in all our target 
segments;

 continuing to shift the source of the product mix to match 
the source of competing products;  

 accelerating  the  rate  at  which  these  new  products  are 
released; 

•  more refined promotional activity in the SUV category; 

•  accessing new distribution channels;

•  driving synergies within the different business units;

• 

• 

increased investment in technology; and

 increasing  the  range  and  sophistication  of  value  adding 
services  offered  to  customers,  especially  as  they  relate  to 
contemporary consumer purchase pathways.

The Company remains committed 
to delivering diversity and scale

For personal use onlyThe Company expects the 2020 financial year to deliver profits 
similar  to  the  2019  financial  year  with  the  strategic  initiatives 
forecast to provide a foundation for a return to growth in the 
2021 financial year. 

While the Company continues to engage with potential acquisition 
targets,  given  current  market  conditions  and  the  Company’s 
share  price,  potential  acquisitions  would  have  to  pass  a  very 
rigorous  risk  assessment  and  be  capable  of  execution  without 
distracting  management’s  attention  from  completing  essential 
organic growth projects.  

I would like to welcome Mr. Colin Skead who joined Exclusive 
Tyre  Distributors  Australia  as  Chief  Operating  Officer  in 
April  2019.  Staff  and  management  have  worked  diligently 
and  constructively  during  a  difficult  period  and  that  effort  
is appreciated. 

I  would  also  like  to  thank  our  customers,  suppliers  and 
shareholders, as well as my co-directors, for the support they 
have delivered over the past year. 

Yours faithfully
Murray Boyte

Introduction

FY19  was 
the  Company’s 
first  full  year  as  an  Australian 
listed  public  company  (ASX 
Code  NTD).  The  Company 
completed  an 
initial  public 
offering (IPO) and was first listed 

on the ASX in December 2017.

Operations - Overview
The  Company  carries  on  the  business  of  importing  and 
wholesaling  tyres  and  wheels  in  Australia,  New  Zealand  and 
South  Africa.  We  employ  over  180  people  and  sell  to  over 
2,000 customers. The Company did not change the nature of 
its business during the 2019 financial year. 

Figure A (below) describes our distribution footprint.

During the year, we leased premises in Melbourne to combine 
the  warehouse  operations  of  Dynamic  Wheel  Company  and 
Exclusive Tyre Distributors in Victoria. 

The Group is engaged in the following businesses:

• 

• 

• 

importing  and  wholesaling 

 wheel 
Company);

(Dynamic  Wheel 

 supplying  tyres  and  wheels  as  original  equipment  to 
caravan manufacturers (MPC); and

 broad  based  and  budget  tyre  importing  and  wholesaling 
(Statewide).

Figure  B  (right)  illustrates  these  entities,  the  brands  they  sell 
and some logos used in connection with promotions:

The  Company  focuses  on  addressing  the  needs  of  the 
following segments within the broad tyre and wheel industry:

•  premium 4WD, SUV and passenger tyres;

•  steel and alloy wheels for 4WD vehicles;

• 

 original  equipment  wheels  and  tyres  for  caravans  and 
trailers; and

• 

lower priced tyres.

The  Company  is  dedicated  to  being  a  value  adding,  trusted 
supplier to its customers.

• 

 premium  4WD,  SUV  and  passenger  tyre  importing  and 
wholesaling  (Exclusive  Tyre  Distributors  in  Australia  and 
New Zealand, as well as TyreLife Solutions in South Africa, 
which is referred to as Top Draw Tyres in the accompanying 
financial report);

Operations – 2019 Financial Year
The  Group  has  been  executing  various  projects  to  respond 
to changes in our operating environment (e.g. the rise of SUV 
vehicles, the growing number of 4WD tyre choices, changes to 
consumer purchase pathways, surplus capacity in the industry 
and  the  emergence  of  retailers  challenging  incumbent  tyre 
specialty stores). 

During FY19, the Group:

 released an upgraded version of the popular Cooper AT3 
all-terrain 4WD tyre;

launched the new Cooper ATT SUV tyre;

 continued  the  development  of  more  new  products  to  be 
released in FY20;

launched the new “Trilogy” and “Dirty Life” wheels;

 commenced selling wheels in South Africa and expanded 
the range of wheels sold in New Zealand;

 consolidated customer service activities (e.g. call centres) in 
Brisbane, recruited experienced call centre personnel and 
invested in relevant new technology;

 re-organised some sales team structures with some related 
cost savings;

 launched  Dynamix,  a  new  customer  loyalty  program  in 
South Africa; 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

 grew  membership  of  existing  customer  loyalty  programs, 
including the movement of many customers to higher levels 
within those programs;

•  grew our overall customer base; and

• 

increased the volume of cross sold products. 

The  benefits  that  might  have  otherwise  flowed  from  the 
completion of these tasks in the FY19 result were diminished 
by the following changes to our operating environment:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

 Import prices rose with AUD falling ≈ 10% against the USD 
and  factory  prices  rising  with  the  increased  cost  of  some 
raw materials (especially carbon black);

 US  sourced  products  became  more  expensive  relative  to 
products sourced from Asian manufacturers as those near 
sourced  producers  elected  to  absorb  more  of  the  higher 
raw material costs;

 Inventory  building  throughout  the  industry  in  calendar 
2018 maintained pressure on wholesale prices, despite the 
falling AUD;

 Negative consumer sentiment in Australia and South Africa, 
with sales of premium products particularly affected;

 Changing  consumer  preferences  –  demand  for  premium 
mud  tyres  shifting  to  all  terrain  and  rugged  terrain  tyres, 
with  challenges  exacerbated  by  the  wide  array  of  4WD 
tyres now available with various price/quality levels; and

 completed  a  consumer  segmentation  project  to  better 
inform promotional choices, especially in the SUV category; 

• 

 The discontinuation of a key product in South Africa (due to 
a factory closure).

FY19 Results
This FY19 Annual Report contains some comparison of the 
FY19 results to the FY18 pro forma results published last 
year.  The FY18 pro forma results were prepared to provide a 
normalised basis for comparing that year’s results to financial 
information included in the IPO prospectus. 

The Company acquired Statewide Tyre Distribution 
(Statewide) in May 2018 and the FY19 results include a full 
year’s trading from that business that was not included in 
the FY18 pro forma results. Apart from the inclusion of the 
Statewide business, the FY19 financial statements do not 
include any business that was not included in the FY18 pro 
forma financial statements.

For personal use onlyThe key financial outcomes in FY19 were:

• 

 Volumes and revenue (excluding Statewide) were both 
lower than the FY18 pro forma due to falls in premium 
product sales, weakness in truck and budget products and 
issues arising from a key product being discontinued in 
South Africa.

•  Total revenue for FY19 was $168.4 million.

• 

• 

• 

• 

 Gross Profit (excluding Statewide) fell with higher import 
prices, falling volumes and despite price increases. 
Concerns about competitiveness meant the Group had to 
absorb higher cost of sales, with gross margin falling to 
28.8% compared to 32.6% in the FY18 pro forma.

 Expenses in FY19 (allowing for Statewide) were 
approximately the same as the FY18 pro forma.

 FY19 EBITDA was $12.8 million compared to a FY18 pro 
forma EBITDA of $16.9 million.

 FY19 NPATA was $7.97 million compared to FY18 pro forma 
NPATA of $10.7 million.

•  At 30 June 2019, the Group had:

-  Net assets of $70.7 million;

-  Net tangible assets of $50.4 million; and

-  Cash of $19.5 million and net cash of $6.2 million.

• 

• 

• 

 Continuing investment in IT platforms as part of offering 
additional services and to tap into new consumer purchase 
pathways; 

 Focussing more on brand building promotional activity to 
build consumer awareness and consideration;

 Increasing revenue from cross selling within the group and 
identifying cost synergies. 

The Group is not expecting profit growth in FY20 because:

• 

• 

• 

• 

 Market conditions are not likely to improve. In particular, 
pressure on the supply side (surplus capacity, import 
pricing from Asia and USA import prices decoupling from 
Asia together with continued discounting by competitors) 
as well as  sluggish consumer demand (impacting premium 
products) will continue to affect volume and margins;

 The Group’s solutions (new products, near source 
procurement, operating improvements and accessing new 
distribution channels) will take time to implement;

 Customer gains and losses are expected as the Group 
seeks customers willing to distribute an expanded array of 
products, with the full benefit of the expanded distribution 
footprint likely to contribute more in FY21; and 

 Additional costs associated with the accelerated execution 
of various projects will be incurred in FY20 but will not 
generate returns until Q4 of FY20 and into FY21.

• 

 The Company has paid a final dividend of 2.05 cents per 
share and a special dividend of 1.5 cents per share (both 
fully franked) to shareholders on 13 September 2019, 
bringing the full year dividend to 4.8 cents (fully franked).

The Group is therefore treating FY20 as a year of transition to 
a broader product and customer base substantially reducing 
dependency on premium products and positioning all 
businesses for more robust and sustainable growth after FY20.

Outlook
The following activities represent the Group’s response to the 
operating environment that emerged in FY19:

• 

• 

• 

 With the use of pricing levers for premium products 
apparently diminished by other market forces, the Group 
will accelerate the  reconfiguration of the product mix to 
more affordable alternatives in all segments;

 Changing the product mix will include a focus on near 
sourced manufacturing, with supplies coming from the 
same countries as our competitors;

 Enhanced value adding services for our customers to 
encourage the adoption of new products and to attract 
new customers;

Acknowledgements
FY19 was a disappointing year. While the Group has been 
executing various strategies in response to a changing 
operating environment, the headwinds experienced in FY19 
negated the expected growth from those measures. 

Our people, suppliers and customers continued to support 
the Group in FY19 and we remain grateful for those 

contributions. 

During FY19, the Group consolidated 
customer service activities (e.g. 
call centres) in Brisbane, recruited 
experienced call centre personnel and 
invested in relevant new technology

and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2019.

Principal activities 
The  principal  activity  of  the  Group  during  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2019  was  the  distribution  and  marketing  of 
motor vehicle tyres, wheels, tubes and related products in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. 

NTAW is the holding company for the following operating subsidiaries: 
● 
● 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 Exclusive Tyre Distributors Pty Ltd (“ETD”); 
 Exclusive Tyre Distributors (NZ) Limited (“ETDNZ”); 
 Dynamic Wheel Co Pty Ltd (“Dynamic”); 
 M.P.C. Mags and Tyres Pty Ltd (“MPC”); 
 Statewide Tyre Distribution Pty Ltd (“Statewide”); and 
 Top Draw Tyres Proprietary Limited (“Top Draw Tyres”) 

The tyre and wheel industries are large with retail revenue in Australia estimated to exceed $5bn. NTAW segments the tyre 
and  wheel  market  by  vehicle  type,  geography  and  consumer  behaviour.  The  subsidiary  entities  seek  to  operate  in 
segments with products and business models that offer competitive advantages. 

ETD  and  ETDNZ  are  the  exclusive  importers  and  wholesale  distributors  of  Cooper,  Mickey  Thompson,  Starfire  and 
Mastercraft  branded  4WD,  SUV  and  passenger  tyres  in  Australia  and  New  Zealand.  They  also  import  Federal  branded 
tyres  in Australia  (excluding  Queensland) and  New Zealand.  Cooper  and  Mickey  Thompson  products are  well known  to 
consumers for their reliability and performance. ETD and ETDNZ offer value adding services to retail customers and these 
services underpin strong retail support for the promotion of their products. 

Dynamic  has  a  leading  position  in  Australia  for  the  importation  and  wholesale  distribution  of  steel  wheels,  including  the 
proprietary Dynamic brand. 

MPC  specialises  in  supplying  wheel  and  tyre  packages  for  caravan  and  trailer  manufacturers  in  Australia  including  the 
proprietary MPC brand. 

Statewide Tyre Distributors has a leading position in South Australia for the importation and wholesale distribution of tyres 
and  wheels,  supplying  less  expensive  products  than  the  Group’s  other  wholesale  businesses  and  operating  in  the  truck 
and bus tyre segment. 

Top Draw Tyres is the exclusive importer and wholesale distributor for Cooper and Mickey Thompson branded 4WD, SUV 
and passenger tyres in South Africa and neighbouring countries. 

In addition to the results from the operation of these well established businesses, the Group is executing growth strategies 
described below under the heading “Review of Operations”. 

NTAW  management  believes  there  have  been  no  significant  changes  in  the  nature  of  the  Group’s  activities  during  this 
period.

Review of operations 
NTAW’s Board and management are pleased to report that the result for the financial year is ahead of the FY2019 trading 
update issued to the market on 2 May 2019.  

Results highlights 

Statutory results 
NTAW has reported total revenue of $168.4 million (2018: $146.3 million) for the financial year, an increase of $22.1 million 
(15.1%) on the prior year resulting from the acquisition of several entities during the prior period.   

NTAW’s statutory profit for the Group after providing for income tax and non-controlling interest amounted to $6.4 million 
(30 June 2018: $4.5 million). 

The FY2019 year results are representative of a full reporting period for the Group in its current operating structure. The 
result for the previous year was impacted by the one-off costs associated with the initial public offer (“IPO”) of NTAW, pre-
IPO acquisition expenses, recognition of share-based payment expenses relating to the former option plan and other items 
as described the in FY2018 accounts. 

NTAW has a strong balance sheet with net assets of $70.7 million (2018: $66.7m). The shareholders’ funds to total assets 
is 59.8% (2018: 54.8%) and net cash of $6.2 million (2018: $5.2 million). 

Pro forma results 
In addition to the statutory results, pro forma financial information for the prior year is presented below to enable the result 
for  the  year to  be  compared  to  the  financial  information contained in  NTAW’s Prospectus  and  prior  year  result.  The  pro 
forma information is provided on an unaudited basis and Table 3 provides a reconciliation between the statutory and pro 
forma performance information. 

NTAW’s  result  for  the  year  was  a  profit  after  providing  for  income  tax  and  non-controlling  interests  and  excluding 
amortisation (‘NPATA’) of $8.0 million compared with an actual pro forma NPATA for the prior year of $10.7 million. 

Pro forma adjustments were made in the prior year to reflect the inclusion of the acquired interests in Cotton and Top Draw 
Tyres with effect from 1 July 2017, and to reflect the cost structure of the Group as a listed entity. Statewide’s results are 
included in the statutory results for the year but have been excluded from the prior year pro forma results in each of the 
following tables as it was not acquired until 31 May 2018. 

Overall performance 
The  results  have  been  adversely  affected  by  sluggish  consumer  demand,  import  price  rises  and  increased  price 
competition which has had a consequential effect on gross margins.

Directors’ Report
National Tyre & Wheel Limited and its controlled entities 
30 June 2019
Directors' report 
30 June 2019 

NTAW management has proactively responded to changing market conditions and introduced a number of new initiatives 
and growth strategies that are expected to have a positive impact in the future. These include: 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 
● 
● 
● 

● 
● 
● 

 New  products  to  both  replace  existing  models  and  target  new  segments  (based  on  vehicle  type,  consumer 
characteristics and/or price (value) position); 
 NTAW  is  accelerating  the  pace  at  which  new  products  are  released.  Examples  include  Cooper’s  AT3,  ATT  and 
Evolution MT tyres, the Dick Cepek EXP, Dirty Life Alloy wheels, Dynamic’s Liberty wheel and the Momo tyre brand in 
South Africa; 
 Promoting  a  new  range  of  SUV  and  passenger  tyres  launched  in  Australia  in  2016  targeting  an  increase  in  the 
Group’s share of these markets from a low base; 
 Customer loyalty  programs to support  value adding relationships  with  existing customers and provide a  platform for 
developing new customers; 
 A communication plan and a distribution model compatible with contemporary consumer purchase pathways; 
 Introducing new wheel products from the Dynamic stable of products to  New Zealand and South Africa; 
 Expanding the  business presently only operated by Statewide in South Australia and the NT; 
 Various business improvement initiatives, including:  
- Upgrading customer contact centres with new technology and the recruitment of people who specialise in customer 
  contact services;  
- Having field sales teams concentrate more on key accounts and business development;  
- Harmonising financial reporting and enterprise management throughout the Group; 
- Accelerating the movement of inventory; and  
- Increasing the range and depth of value adding services supplied by each business. 
 Seeking access to near source manufacture from our suppliers; 
 Achieving synergies within the group from cross selling and shared services; 
 Continuing  to  seek  diversity  and  scale  by  building  a  pipeline  of  other  tyre  and/or  wheel  importers  NTAW  could 
potentially acquire. 

NTAW’s core business is very sound and well positioned to capitalise on market opportunities. Management is working on 
a number of strategic initiatives covering supply chain management and new product development (especially in the SUV 
segment) that will enhance the future development of NTAW’s core business. 

Key operating metrics of NTAW 

Table 1 below shows some of the key operating metrics and ratios for NTAW for the financial year. 

NTAW  sold  982,696  tyre  units  in  the  financial  year  compared  with  776,123  in  the  2018  financial  year.  While  the  Group 
achieved year on year growth, 4WD tyre unit sales growth in Australia was below expectations due to sluggish consumer 
demand and intense price competition. FY2019 volumes include units that were not included for a full year in the FY2018 
accounts because Statewide was not a subsidiary for all of FY2018. 

The Group has reported a full year gross profit margin of 28.8% (2018: 32.6% pro-forma) and an EBITDA margin of 7.6% 
(2018:  11.0% pro-forma). The gross profit margin reduction  was driven by higher than  expected USD  import prices, less 
favourable than expected exchange rates between the AUD and USD and price discounting by competitors. The Group’s 
operating costs as a percentage of sales were 21.2%, down from 21.8% in the prior year.

Directors' report 
30 June 2019 

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year 
Apart from the dividend declared as disclosed above and the lapsing of 1.63 million options as noted in the Remuneration 
Report and note 36, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2019 that has significantly affected, or may 
significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial 
years. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations 
The Group will continue to pursue growth in revenue in the next financial year as it seeks to further diversify its business 
and  build  the  scale  of  its  operations  in  the  importation  and  wholesale  distribution  of  tyres  and  wheels  in  Australia,  New 
Zealand  and  South  Africa.  Focus  areas  will  include  organic  growth  in  the  markets  within  which  it  operates,  including 
capitalising  on  the  opportunities  for  revenue  and  cost  synergies  associated  from  the  businesses  already  acquired,  and 
considering further  acquisition growth  over  time.  The  Group  is  not  expecting profit  to  grow  in  FY2020 because it  will  be 
investing  in  new  products  and  other  operational  improvements  that  are  expected  to  deliver  returns  that  will  grow  profits 
after FY2020. 

Material business risks 
The Board is committed to monitoring and mitigating business risks faced by the Group, including the following key risks 
that have the potential to materially impact its financial prospects: 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

 Supplier  risk  -  the  Group  is  reliant  on  long-term  formal  distribution  and  licence  agreements  with  key  suppliers, 
including  Cooper  Tire  and  Mickey  Thompson  for  the  supply  of  many  products  it  wholesales.  The  Group  owns 
customer relationships and controls the marketing of brands, but it relies on rights under formal long-term agreements 
granted by Cooper Tire and other suppliers to access those brands. The Group proactively engages in maximising its 
key relationships to mitigate such risks. 

 Foreign  exchange  risk  -  a  significant  proportion  of  the  Group’s  costs  and  expenses  are  transacted  in  foreign 
currencies. Adverse movements between the Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar and South African Rand against 
the US dollar may increase the price at which the Group acquires its trading stock and result in volatility in profitability 
to the extent that the Group may or may not be able to pass on price changes to its customers (after allowing for the 
impact inventory cycles have on the time it takes for exchange rate movements to impact on cost of goods sold and 
the  behaviour  of  competitors).  The  Company  also  seeks  to  use  foreign  exchange  contracts  to  mitigate  its  foreign 
exchange exposures. The effect of foreign currency translation on operating results from offshore operations remains 
inherent in the Group’s business. 

 Business  integration  risk  –  the  Group  has  acquired  interests  in  several  businesses  during  the  FY2018  year. 
Successfully  integrating  and  extracting  synergies  from  acquisitions  and  managing  growth  is  critical  to  the  Group’s 
continued performance and earnings from the acquisitions.  The Group’s Board and management is experienced in 
acquiring  and  integrating  businesses,  conducts  comprehensive  due  diligence  and  ensures  an  integration  plan  is 
followed. 

 Retention of key personnel - the Group’s future success is significantly dependent on the expertise and experience of 
its  key  personnel  and  management.  The  loss  of  services  of  key  members  of  management,  and  any  delay  in  their 
replacement, or the  failure to  attract  additional  key managers to  new roles  could  have  a  material adverse  effect on 
NTAW’s financial performance and ability to deliver on its growth strategies. 

 Customer  risk  –  the  Group  is  dependent  on  its  ability  to  retain  its  existing  customers  and  attract  new  customers. 
Although customer concentration is low, sales revenue would be adversely affected if all members of a chain or group 
decided not to purchase products from the Group. The Group proactively manages its customer relationships and has 
established value adding customer loyalty programs. 

 Risk  of  competition  -  the  tyre  and  wheel  wholesale  market  is  highly  competitive.  Competition  is  based  on  factors 
including  price,  service,  quality,  performance  standards,  range  and  the  ability  to  provide  customers  with  an 
appropriate  range  of  quality  products  in  a  timely  manner.  A  failure  by  the  Group  to  effectively  compete  with  its 
competitors may adversely affect the Group’s future financial performance and position. 

Environmental regulation 
The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

Remuneration report (audited) 
The Board is pleased to present the Company’s remuneration report. 

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance 
with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. 

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the 
activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors. 

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: 
(a)   Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
(b)   Details of remuneration 
(c)   Relationship between remuneration and Company performance 
(d)   Service agreements 
(e)   Share-based compensation 
(f) 
(g)   Other transactions with key management personnel 

 Equity instruments held by key management personnel 

(a)  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
The  objective  of  the  Group's  executive  remuneration  framework  is  to  ensure  reward  for  performance  is  competitive  and 
appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework  aligns  executive  remuneration  with  the  achievement  of  strategic 
objectives  and  the  creation  of  value  for  shareholders,  and  it  is  considered  to  conform  with  accepted  market  practice  for 
remuneration and reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive remuneration satisfies the following 
key criteria for good remuneration governance practices: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 competitiveness and reasonableness; 
 acceptability to shareholders; 
 performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; and 
 transparency. 

The  Remuneration  and  Nominations  Committee  is  responsible  for  reviewing  remuneration  arrangements  for  its  directors 
and executives and making recommendations to the Board for consideration and approval. The performance of the Group 
depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high 
performance and high quality personnel. 

The  Remuneration  and  Nominations  Committee  has  structured  an  executive  remuneration  framework  that  is  market 
competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group, as determined by the Board.

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board considers that it should 
seek to enhance shareholders' interests by: 
● 
● 

 having economic profit as a core component of plan design; 
 focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering 
constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value; and 
 attracting and retaining high calibre executives. 

● 

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by: 
● 
● 
● 

 rewarding capability and experience; 
 reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth; and 
 providing a clear structure for earning rewards. 

Since  the  Group’s  listing  on  the  ASX,  in  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-
executive director and executive director remuneration is separate. 

Non-executive directors' remuneration 
Fees  and  payments  to  non-executive  directors  reflect  the  demands  and  responsibilities  of  their  role.  Non-executive 
directors'  fees  and  payments  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Remuneration  and  Nominations  Committee.  The  chairman's 
fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external 
market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.  Since the 
Group’s IPO, non-executive directors do not receive share options or other incentives. 

Under NTAW’s constitution, the directors decide the total amount paid to  all directors as remuneration for their services. 
However,  under  the  ASX  listing  rules,  the  aggregate  non-executive  directors'  remuneration  (ie  excluding  the  Managing 
Director and executive directors, if any) for a financial year must not exceed the amount fixed by the Company in general 
meeting. This amount has been fixed at $750,000 per annum. Any changes to the aggregate remuneration will be put to a 
general meeting where the shareholders will be asked to approve a maximum annual aggregate remuneration. 

The annual base non-executive director fees paid by the Company are $90,000 per annum for the chairman and $70,000 
per annum for other non-executive Directors. From 1 July 2018, an additional fee of $10,000 per annum has been paid to 
the chairman of each Board committee. Directors may also be reimbursed for all travelling and other expenses incurred in 
connection with their Company duties. 

Executive director remuneration 
Fees and payments to executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Executive  directors' fees 
and  payments  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Remuneration  and  Nominations  Committee.  Details  of  executive  director 
remuneration are contained in section (d) Service Agreements.  

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

The  Board  adopted  a  new  executive  remuneration  framework,  including  new  short  term  incentive  (STI)  and  long  term 
incentive  (LTI)  programs  with  effect  from  and  including  the  financial  year  ending  30 June 2019. The  new  framework 
includes the following components:   
● 

 Fixed  remuneration  –  comprising  base  salary,  superannuation  contributions  and  other  benefits,  having  regard  to 
comparable market benchmarks.  Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe 
benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides 
additional value to the executive; 

● 

● 

 STI  program  –  an  ‘at  risk’  component  of  remuneration  where,  if  individual,  business  unit  and  Group  performance 
measures are met, senior executives will be awarded cash bonuses equal to a percentage of their fixed remuneration.  
Performance  measures  will  include  a  financial  gateway  hurdle  and  non-financial  KPIs.    The  percentage  of  fixed 
remuneration  received  as  an  STI  will  be  capped,  but  may  vary,  between  individuals  and  depending  on  the  level  of 
performance achieved; and 

 LTI program – an ‘at risk’ component of remuneration where senior executives are awarded options which are subject 
to an earnings per share (EPS) performance condition and a service condition.  The number of options to be awarded 
will be determined by the Board having regard to the overall amount of executive remuneration and the annual profit 
impact of the options awarded.

The  combination  of  these  comprises  the  executive's  total  remuneration. The  Board  believes  that  this  remuneration 
framework ensures that remuneration outcomes link to Company performance and the long-term interests of Shareholders. 

2019 STI Program 

During  FY2019,  senior  executives’  entitlement  to  an  STI  was  based  on  achievement  of  agreed  performance  objectives 
including: 
● 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 Financial performance 
 Operational performance 
 Strategy and innovative initiatives 
 Workplace health and safety 
 Stakeholder satisfaction. 

Actual performance criteria varied between executives, having regard to their roles and responsibilities. 

No STIs were awarded to key management personnel during the  year pursuant to this program as the financial gateway 
hurdle was not satisfied. Two discretionary bonuses were awarded for specific business unit achievements. 

2019 LTI Program 

Options  may  be  granted  under  the  Employee  Share  Option  Plan which  was  adopted  on  6  November  2017. Each  option 
entitles  the  participant  to  subscribe  for  one  ordinary  share  in  the  Company. The  specific  terms  relevant  to  the  grant  of 
options are set out in an offer from the Company to the Eligible Person which contains details of the application price (if 
any)  (which  must  not  be for more  than nominal consideration),  the  expiry  date,  the  exercise  price,  the  vesting  date,  any 
applicable performance conditions and other specific terms relevant to those options. 

During FY2019, 1.63 million options were granted to senior executives, including certain members of the key management 
personnel, pursuant to the ESOP on the specific key terms: 
● 

 The  Vesting Date  of  the  options  was  30 September  2021  or  three  years from the  Grant Date,  whichever  is earlier, 
subject to meeting the Performance Conditions. 
 The  Performance  Period  for  the  Performance  Conditions  is  the  period  from  the  Grant  Date  until  the  Vesting  Date 
(inclusive of each of those dates). 
 The performance conditions were as follows: 

● 

● 

1) Earnings per share condition – the Company’s earnings per share (EPS) for the year ended 30 June 2019 was to 
    be at least 10% higher than its EPS for the year ended 30 June 2018. 

    Calculation of the EPS growth rate is based upon the EPS results reported in NTAW’s audited financial statements 
    for the above years. The Basic EPS reported may be adjusted for items which the Board, in its discretion, considers 
    should be included in, or excluded from, the result. 

    The Board determined that the FY2018 base EPS for the Options would be 11.5 cents per share. This was based  
    upon the Company’s pro forma NPATA attributable to NTAW shareholders, adjusted for the pro forma impact of the 
    impact of Statewide. 

2) Service condition – continuous employment of the employee with NTAW or one of its subsidiaries from the Grant  
    Date until the Vesting Date. 

● 
● 

 The Expiry Date of the options was 30 September 2023 which is two years after the Vesting Date, if not lapsed earlier.
 If the Performance Conditions are not met before the end of the Performance Period, the options will lapse. 

The  options  granted  in FY2019  have  now  lapsed  because  the  EPS  condition  was not  met. As at  the  date  of  this  report, 
there were no options outstanding (2018: nil). 

It  is  the  Board’s  intention  to  grant  options  to  senior  executives  for  the  FY2020  LTI. The  specific  terms  of  the  grant  are 
expected  to  be  finalised  in  September  2019,  and,  in  the  case  of  the  Managing  Director,  will  be  subject  to  shareholder 
approval.

Directors’ Report
National Tyre & Wheel Limited and its controlled entities 
30 June 2019
Directors' report 
30 June 2019 

During  the  year,  Terry  and  Susanne  Smith  (co-founders  of  Exclusive  Tyre  Distributors  Australia  Pty  Ltd)  and  Chris  and 
Christine  Hummer  (co-founders  of  Dynamic Wheel  Co  Pty  Ltd),  transferred  a  total  of  319,666  of  their  personally  owned 
National Tyre & Wheel Limited (NTD) shares to a number of employees of the Group. The gifts were made as a gesture of 
thanks  and  appreciation  for  the  employees’  efforts  and  support  for  the  business,  prior  to  NTD’s  listing  on  the  ASX  in 
December  2017. The  transfers  occurred  following  the  release  of  the  shares  from  voluntary  escrow  during  the  year  and 
were valued at 45 cents per share at that time. 

Loans to key management personnel 
There were no loans to key management personnel and their related parties during the financial year. 

This concludes the remuneration report, which has been audited. 

Shares under option 
There  were  no  unissued  ordinary  shares  of  National  Tyre  &  Wheel  Limited  under  option  outstanding  at  the  date  of  this 
report. 1.63 million options over unissued ordinary shares that were outstanding at 30 June 2019 have now lapsed. 

Shares issued on the exercise of options 
There were no ordinary shares of National Tyre & Wheel Limited issued on the exercise of options during the year ended 
30 June 2019 and up to the date of this report. 

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

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and executives of 
the Company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits 
disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. 

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

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

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

Non-audit services 
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
are outlined in note 25 to the financial statements. 

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible  with the general standard  of independence for auditors imposed by 
the Corporations Act 2001. 

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 25 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 
● 

 all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 
of the auditor; and 
 none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code 
of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, 
acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards. 

● 

Officers of the Company who are former partners of Pitcher Partners 
There are no officers of the Company who are former partners of Pitcher Partners.

Notes to the financial statements
National Tyre & Wheel Limited and its controlled entities 
30 June 2019
Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2019 

Note 1. General information 

The  financial  statements  cover  National  Tyre  & Wheel  Limited  as  a  Group  consisting  of  National  Tyre  &  Wheel  Limited 
('Company'  or  'parent  entity')  and  the  entities  it  controlled  at  the  end  of,  or  during,  the  year  ('Group'  or  "NTAW').  The 
financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars,  which  is  National  Tyre  &  Wheel  Limited's  functional  and 
presentation currency. 

National  Tyre  & Wheel  Limited  is  a  listed  public  company  limited  by  shares,  incorporated  and  domiciled  in  Australia.  Its 
registered office and principal place of business is: 

30 Gow Street 
Moorooka QLD 4105 

A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is 
not part of the financial statements. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 23 August 2019. The 
directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies 

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

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

Historical cost convention 
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for,  where  applicable,  the 
revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets and derivative financial instruments. 

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

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 
The  Group  has  adopted  all  of  the  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  Board  ('AASB')  that  are  mandatory  for  the  current  reporting  period.  The  adoption  of  these 
Accounting Standards and Interpretations did  not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position  of 
the Group. 

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

The  adoption  of  these  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  did  not  have  any  significant  impact  on  the  financial 
performance or position of the Group.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2019 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group: 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 
The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduced new classification and measurement models 
for  financial  assets.  A  financial  asset  shall  be  measured  at  amortised  cost  if  it  is  held  within  a  business  model  whose 
objective  is  to  hold  assets  in  order  to  collect  contractual  cash  flows  which  arise  on  specified  dates  and  that  are  solely 
principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held 
within a  business model  whose objective  is to  both  hold assets in  order to  collect  contractual cash  flows  which  arise  on 
specified  dates  that  are  solely  principal  and  interest  as  well  as  selling  the  asset  on  the  basis  of  its  fair  value.  All  other 
financial  assets  are  classified  and  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  unless  the  entity  makes  an  irrevocable 
election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent 
consideration recognised in a business combination) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). Despite these requirements, a 
financial asset may be irrevocably designated  as measured  at fair value through profit  or loss to reduce the effect of, or 
eliminate,  an  accounting  mismatch.  For  financial  liabilities  designated  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  the  standard 
requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it 
would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the 
accounting  treatment  with  the  risk  management  activities  of  the  entity.  New  impairment  requirements  use  an  'expected 
credit  loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance.  Impairment is measured using  a 12-month ECL method  unless the 
credit  risk  on  a  financial  instrument  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition  in  which  case  the  lifetime  ECL 
method is adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected 
loss allowance is available. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
The  Group  has  adopted  AASB  15  from  1  July  2018.  The  standard  provides  a  single  comprehensive  model  for  revenue 
recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised 
goods  or services  to  customers  at  an  amount that reflects the  consideration  to  which  the  entity  expects to be  entitled  in 
exchange  for  those  goods  or  services.  The  standard  introduced a  new  contract-based  revenue  recognition model  with  a 
measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting 
policies  below.  Credit  risk  is  presented  separately  as  an  expense  rather  than  adjusted  against  revenue.  Contracts  with 
customers  are  presented  in  an  entity's  statement  of  financial  position  as  a  contract  liability,  a  contract  asset,  or  a 
receivable,  depending  on  the  relationship  between  the  entity's  performance  and  the  customer's  payment.  Customer 
acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over 
the contract period. 

Impact of adoption 
AASB  9  and  AASB  15  were  adopted  using  the  retrospective  approach  and  as  such  comparatives  have  been  restated. 
There was no impact of the adoption on opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2018. 

The impact of the new Accounting Standards compared with the previous Accounting Standards on the current reporting 
period is as follows:

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Parent entity information 
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the  Group  only. 
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 30. 

Principles of consolidation 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  National  Tyre  &  Wheel 
Limited as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. 

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  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. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and  unrealised  gains on  transactions between entities  in  the  Group  are eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. 
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted 
by the Group. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, 
without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the  consideration 
transferred  and  the  book  value  of  the  share  of  the  non-controlling  interest  acquired  is  recognised  directly  in  equity 
attributable to the parent. 

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and 
other  comprehensive  income,  statement  of  financial  position  and  statement  of  changes  in  equity  of  the  Group.  Losses 
incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance. 

Where  the  Group  loses  control  over  a  subsidiary,  it  derecognises  the  assets  including  goodwill,  liabilities  and  non-
controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group 
recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain 
or loss in profit or loss. 

Operating segments 
Operating  segments  are  presented  using  the  'management  approach',  where  the  information  presented  is  on  the  same 
basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the 
allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. 

Foreign currency translation 

Foreign currency transactions 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the 
translation  at financial  year-end  exchange  rates  of monetary  assets and  liabilities denominated in  foreign  currencies  are 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Foreign operations 
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  into  Australian  dollars  using  the  exchange  rates  at  the 
reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average 
exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange 
differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. 

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

Revenue recognition 
The Group recognises revenue as follows: 

Revenue from contracts with customers 
Revenue  is  recognised  at  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to  which  the  Group  is  expected  to  be  entitled  in 
exchange  for  transferring  goods  or  services  to  a  customer.  For  each  contract  with  a  customer,  the  Group:  identifies  the 
contract  with  a  customer;  identifies  the  performance  obligations  in  the  contract;  determines  the  transaction  price  which 
takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the 
separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be 
delivered;  and  recognises  revenue  when  or  as  each  performance  obligation  is  satisfied  in  a  manner  that  depicts  the 
transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. 

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, 
rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates 
are  determined  using  either  the  'expected  value'  or  'most  likely  amount'  method.  The  measurement  of  variable 
consideration is subject to  a constraining principle  whereby revenue  will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly 
probable  that  a  significant  reversal  in  the  amount  of  cumulative  revenue  recognised  will  not  occur.  The  measurement 
constraint  continues  until  the  uncertainty  associated  with  the  variable  consideration  is  subsequently  resolved.  Amounts 
received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability. 

Sale of goods 
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is 
generally at the time of delivery. 

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

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

Income tax 
The  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  that  period's  taxable  income  based  on  the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to 
temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 
the  assets  are  recovered  or  liabilities  are  settled,  based  on  those  tax  rates  that  are  enacted  or  substantively  enacted, 
except for: 
● 

 When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting 
nor taxable profits; or 
 When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and 
the  timing  of  the  reversal  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  difference  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

● 

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

The carrying  amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for 
the carrying amount to be  recovered.  Previously  unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the  extent that it is 
probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  only  where  there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  offset  current  tax  assets 
against  current  tax  liabilities  and  deferred  tax  assets  against  deferred  tax  liabilities;  and  they  relate  to  the  same  taxable 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. 

National Tyre & Wheel Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries (Exclusive Tyre Distributors 
Pty Ltd, MPC Mags & Tyres Pty Ltd, Dynamic Wheel Co Pty Limited and Statewide Tyre Distribution Pty Ltd), have formed 
an  income  tax  consolidated  group  under  the  tax  consolidation  regime.  The  head  entity  and  subsidiary  in  the  tax 
consolidated  group continue to account for their own  current and  deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated  group has 
applied  the  'separate  taxpayer  within  group'  approach  in  determining  the  appropriate  amount  of  taxes  to  allocate  to 
members of the tax consolidated group. 

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) 
and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax 
consolidated group. 

Assets  or  liabilities  arising  under  tax  funding  agreements  with  the  tax  consolidated  entities  are  recognised  as  amounts 
receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the 
intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a 
contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity. 

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

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

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

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

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and 
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash 
and  cash  equivalents  also  includes  bank  overdrafts,  which  are  shown  within  borrowings  in  current  liabilities  on  the 
statement of financial position. 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade  receivables  are initially  recognised at fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost using  the  effective 
interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 
30 days. 

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss 
allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. 

Inventories 
Finished  goods  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net  realisable  value  on  a  'first  in  first  out'  basis.  Cost  comprises  of 
purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

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

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

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

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

The  Group  has  not  satisfied  the  documentation,  designation  and  effectiveness  tests  required  by  Australian  Accounting 
Standards,  as  such  they  do  not  qualify  for  hedge  accounting  and  gains  or  losses  arising  from changes  in  fair  value  are 
recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

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

Investments and other financial assets 
Investments and  other financial  assets  are  initially  measured at  fair  value.  Transaction costs are included  as part of  the 
initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured 
at  either  amortised  cost  or  fair  value  depending  on  their  classification.  Classification  is  determined  based  on  both  the 
business  model  within  which  such  assets  are  held  and  the  contractual  cash  flow  characteristics  of  the  financial  asset 
unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided. 

Financial assets are  derecognised  when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or  have  been  transferred and the 
Group  has  transferred  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  When  there  is  no  reasonable  expectation  of 
recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off. 

Impairment of financial assets (excluding trade and other receivables) 
The  Group  recognises  a  loss  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  on  financial  assets  which  are  either  measured  at 
amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon 
the  Group's  assessment  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period  as  to  whether  the  financial  instrument's  credit  risk  has 
increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without 
undue cost or effort to obtain. 

Where  there  has not  been  a  significant  increase  in  exposure  to  credit  risk since  initial recognition,  a  12-month  expected 
credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable 
to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where 
it  is  determined  that  credit  risk  has  increased  significantly,  the  loss  allowance  is  based  on  the  asset's  lifetime  expected 
credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present 
value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate. 

Property, plant and equipment 
Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation  is  calculated  on  a  diminishing  value  basis  to  write  off  the  net  cost  of  each  item  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Leasehold improvements 
Plant and equipment 
Motor vehicles 
Capital work in progress 

 2.5% to 15% 
 5% to 60% 
 13.5% to 25% 
 0% until in use 

The  residual  values,  useful  lives  and  depreciation  methods  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  each  reporting 
date. 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, 
whichever is shorter.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

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

Leases 
The determination  of whether an arrangement is  or contains a lease  is based  on the substance of the  arrangement and 
requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets 
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. 

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the 
risks  and benefits  incidental  to  the ownership  of leased  assets,  and  operating leases, under  which the lessor  effectively 
retains substantially all such risks and benefits. 

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, 
the  present  value  of  minimum  lease  payments.  Lease  payments  are  allocated  between  the  principal  component  of  the 
lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. 

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's 
useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease 
term. 

Operating lease payments, net of any  incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on  a straight-line 
basis over the term of the lease. 

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

Goodwill 
Goodwill  arises  on  the  acquisition  of  a  business.  Goodwill  is  not  amortised.  Instead,  goodwill  is  tested  annually  for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at 
cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses.  Impairment  losses  on  goodwill  are  taken  to  profit  or  loss  and  are  not 
subsequently reversed. 

Brand name 
Brand names are assessed as having an indefinite useful life on the basis of brand strength, ongoing expected profitability 
and continuing support. Brand names are not amortised, but are instead tested for impairment annually, or more frequently 
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. 

Customer relationships 
Customer relationships acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being their finite useful life of 7 to 10 years. 

Importation rights 
Importation rights are amortised on a straight line basis over the term of the distribution agreement, being between 7 to 10 
years.  Importation  rights  are  tested  for  impairment  annually,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances 
indicate that it might be impaired.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Impairment of non-financial assets 
Goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets  that  have  an  indefinite  useful  life  are  not  subject  to  amortisation  and  are  tested 
annually  for  impairment,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  they  might  be  impaired. 
Other  non-financial  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to 
form a cash-generating unit. 

Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and 
which  are  unpaid.  Due  to  their  short-term  nature  they  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  and  are  not  discounted.  The 
amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

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. 

Finance costs 
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in 
the period in which they are incurred. 

Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is 
probable  the  Group  will  be  required  to  settle  the  obligation,  and  a  reliable  estimate  can  be  made  of  the  amount  of  the 
obligation. The amount recognised  as a  provision  is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the  present 
obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value 
of  money  is  material,  provisions  are  discounted  using  a  current  pre-tax  rate  specific  to  the  liability.  The  increase  in  the 
provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 

Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  annual  leave  and  long  service  leave  expected  to  be 
settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities 
are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date 
are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees 
up  to  the  reporting  date.  Consideration  is  given  to  expected  future  wage  and  salary  levels,  experience  of  employee 
departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on 
high-quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future 
cash outflows. 

Defined contribution superannuation expense 
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Share-based payments 
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for 
the rendering of services.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions are  measured  at fair  value  on  grant  date. Fair  value  is  independently  determined 
using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the 
option,  the  impact  of  dilution,  the  share  price  at  grant  date  and  expected  price  volatility  of  the  underlying  share,  the 
expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do 
not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken 
of any other vesting conditions. 

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  recognised  as  an  expense  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity  over  the 
vesting  period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the 
best estimate  of the  number  of  awards  that  are likely  to vest  and the expired portion  of  the  vesting  period.  The  amount 
recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already 
recognised in previous periods. 

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions 
are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are 
satisfied. 

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. 
An  additional  expense is  recognised,  over the  remaining  vesting  period,  for any modification  that  increases the total fair 
value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. 

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a 
cancellation.  If  the  condition  is  not  within  the  control  of  the  Group  or  employee  and  is  not  satisfied  during  the  vesting 
period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. 

If  equity-settled  awards  are  cancelled,  it  is  treated  as  if  it  has  vested  on  the  date  of  cancellation,  and  any  remaining 
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and 
new award is treated as if they were a modification. 

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

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

Assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  are  classified  into  three  levels,  using  a  fair  value  hierarchy  that  reflects  the 
significance  of  the  inputs  used  in  making  the  measurements.  Classifications  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and 
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair 
value measurement. 

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either 
not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge 
and  reputation.  Where  there  is  a  significant  change  in  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  liability  from  one  period  to  another,  an 
analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, 
where applicable, with external sources of data. 

Issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

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

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Dividends 
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the  owners of National Tyre  &  Wheel Limited, 
excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares,  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares 
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. 

Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account 
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the 
weighted  average  number  of  shares  assumed  to  have  been  issued  for  no  consideration  in  relation  to  dilutive  potential 
ordinary shares. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  tax  authority  is  included  in  other  receivables  or  other  payables  in  the  statement  of 
financial position. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or  financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. 

Comparative information 
Comparatives have  been reclassified,  where applicable, to align  with current  year presentation. There  was no impact on 
the results or financial position of the Group. 

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

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have  recently  been  issued  or  amended  but  are  not  yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The Group's 
assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, 
are set out below. 

Accounting Standard 

 Nature of change 

 Impact on the financial statements 

AASB 16 'Leases' 
(effective for the 
accounting period 
starting 1 July 2019) 

 AASB 16 requires recognition of a right-of-use 
asset along with the associated lease liability 
where the entity is a lessee. An interest expense 
will be recognised in the profit or loss using the 
effective interest rate method, and the right-of 
use asset will be depreciated. Lessor accounting 
will largely remain unchanged. 

 On adoption, AASB 16 will have the following 
impact from 1 July 2019, specifically: 

- Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the 
  balance sheet will increase on 1 July 2019 by 
  approximately $7.6m and $8.2m, respectively;  
  and 
- Retained earnings will reduce on 1 July 2019  
  by approximately $0.6m because the carrying  
  value of the assets reduce more quickly than  
  the carrying amount of the lease liabilities.  

New Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 
A  revised  Conceptual  Framework  for  Financial  Reporting  has  been  issued  by  the  AASB  and  is  applicable  for  annual 
reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2020.  This  release  impacts  for-profit  private  sector  entities  that  have 
public  accountability  that  are  required  by  legislation  to  comply  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  other  for-profit 
entities that voluntarily elect to apply the Conceptual Framework. Phase 2 of the framework is yet to be released which will 
impact for-profit private sector entities. The application of new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on 
measurement  will  result  in  amendments  to  several  accounting  standards.  The  issue  of  AASB  2019-1  Amendments  to 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  References  to  the  Conceptual  Framework,  also  applicable  from  1  January  2020, 
includes  such  amendments.  Where  the  Group  has  relied  on  the  conceptual  framework  in  determining  its  accounting 
policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under Australian Accounting Standards, the 
Group may need to revisit such policies. The Group will apply the revised conceptual framework from 1 July 2020 and is 
yet to assess its impact.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

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

Business combinations 
As discussed in note 2, business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets 
acquired,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  assumed  are  initially  estimated  by  the  Group  taking  into  consideration  all 
available  information  at  the  reporting  date.  Fair  value  adjustments  on  the  finalisation  of  the  business  combination 
accounting  is  retrospective,  where  applicable,  to  the  period  the  combination  occurred  and  may  have  an  impact  on  the 
assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported. 

Recognition of identifiable intangible assets on acquisition 
Brand names, importation rights and customer relationships have been recognised on the acquisition of subsidiaries. The 
valuation of these assets is based on the present value of expected future cash flows associated with the brand and the 
recurring current customers covering a period of 5 to 12 years. These cash flows have been calculated using sales growth 
rates of between 3.8%-6.9% (2018: 3%-6.3%) and a pre-tax discount rate of between 16.3%-18.6% (2018:17%-20%). 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill 
and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in 
note  2.  The  recoverable  amounts  of  cash-generating  units  have  been  determined  based  on  value-in-use  calculations. 
These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital 
and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The  Group  assesses  impairment  of  non-financial  assets  other  than  goodwill  and  other  indefinite  life  intangible  assets  at 
each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. 
If an  impairment  trigger exists,  the  recoverable  amount  of the  asset  is  determined. This  involves fair  value  less  costs of 
disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. 

Share-based payment transactions 
The  Group  measures  the  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  with  employees  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  equity 
instruments at  the date  at  which they  are granted. The  fair value  is  determined by  using  the  Binomial model  taking into 
account the terms and conditions upon  which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions 
relating  to  equity-settled  share-based  payments  would  have  no  impact  on  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities 
within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. 

Share-based  payments  expense  under  the  employee  share  option  plan  has  been  recognised  over  the  expected  vesting 
period of the options. The share-based  payment expense incurred is equal to the value of the  options and management 
have  assessed  the  fair  value  of  the  options  using  a  Binominal  model  with  the  following  key  criteria:  pre-determined 
exercise price, share price at grant date based on estimated enterprise value of the company, risk-free rate of 2% (2018: 
1.5%), volatility of share price of 65% (2018: 60%) and assumed vesting period from grant date. 

Income tax 
The  Group  is  subject  to  income  taxes  in  the  jurisdictions  in  which  it  operates.  Significant  judgement  is  required  in 
determining  the  provision  for  income  tax.  There  are  many  transactions  and  calculations  undertaken  during  the  ordinary 
course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax 
audit issues based on the Group's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is 
different  from  the  carrying  amounts, such  differences  will  impact  the  current  and  deferred  tax provisions  in  the  period  in 
which such determination is made.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) 

Warranty provision 
In  determining the  level of provision  required  for warranties the  Group  has made  judgements in  respect of  the  expected 
performance of the products, the number of customers who will actually claim under the warranty and how often, and the 
costs of fulfilling the conditions of the warranty. 

Note 4. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 
The Group's operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors 
(who  are  identified  as the  Chief Operating  Decision  Makers ('CODM')) in  assessing  performance  and  in  determining  the 
allocation of resources. 

The Directors are of the opinion that there is one reportable segment in the Group as the CODM reviews results, assesses 
performance and allocates resources at a Group level. 

As  the  information  reported  to  the  CODM  is  the  consolidated  results  of  the  Group,  the  segment  results  are  shown 
throughout these financial statements and are not duplicated here. 

Major customers 
During the year ended 30 June 2019, none of the Group's external revenue was derived from sales of greater than 10% to 
any customer (2018: none).

Impairment testing 

For the  purpose  of impairment  testing,  goodwill and  brand  names are  allocated  to  the  respective  operating  entity's cash 
generating unit ('CGU'): 

Goodwill 
CGU: 
- Tyres and wheels 
- M.P.C Mags and Tyres Pty Ltd 
- Top Draw Tyres Pty Ltd 

Brand names 
CGU: 
- M.P.C Mags and Tyres Pty Ltd

The Group tests whether goodwill and brand names have suffered any impairment on an annual basis. For the 2019 and 
2018  reporting  period,  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  CGUs  was  determined  based  on  value-in-use  calculations  which 
require the use of assumptions. The calculations are conducted using a discount cash flow (DCF) methodology based on 
financial  budgets  approved  by  management  covering  a  five-year  period.  Cash  flows  beyond  the  five-year  period  are 
extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below. These growth rates are consistent with forecasts included in 
industry reports specific to the industry in which each CGU operates.  

The following table sets out the key assumptions for those CGUs that have significant goodwill and brand names allocated 
to them: 

2019 

Sales growth (%) 
Terminal growth rate (%) 
Pre-tax discount rate (%) 

  Tyres and 

wheels 
% 

MPC

  Top Draw

1.90%   
1.50%   
16.80%   

6.90%  
2.00%  
18.60%  

Management has determined the value assigned to each of the above key assumptions as follows: 

Assumption 

 Approach used to determine values 

Sales growth 

 Average annual growth rate over the five-year forecast period; based on past performance 
and management’s expectations of market development. 

Terminal growth rate 

 The growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the 5 year forecasted period based 
off management's expectations of long-term growth. 

Pre-tax discount rate 

 Reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the countries in which they 
operate based off management's expectations for the future. 

Impact of possible changes in key assumptions 
A sensitivity analysis was performed on key assumptions, which included increasing the discount rate by 2% and reducing 
sales growth. Both scenarios did not result in an impairment.

Warranties 
The  provision  represents the  estimated  warranty claims in  respect  of  products  sold  which are  still  under  warranty at  the 
reporting  date.  The  provision  is  estimated  based  on  historical  warranty  claim  information,  sales  levels  and  any  recent 
trends that may suggest future claims could differ from historical amounts. 

Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months 
The current provision for employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the 
required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The 
entire amount is presented as current, since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. Based on 
past experience, the Group expects all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the 
next 12 months.

Note 20. Equity - issued capital (continued) 

Capital risk management 
The  Group's  objectives  when  managing  capital  is  to  safeguard  its  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  so  that  it  can 
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce 
the cost of capital. 

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

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

The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding 
relative  to  the  current  Company's  share  price  at  the  time  of  the  investment.  The  Group  is  actively  pursuing  additional 
investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2018 Annual Report.

The  reserve  is  used  to  recognise  exchange  differences arising  from the  translation  of  the  financial statements of  foreign 
operations to Australian dollars. It is also used to recognise gains and losses on hedges of the net investments in foreign 
operations. 

Note 22. Equity - dividends 

Dividends 
Dividends paid during the financial year were as follows: 

Final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2018 of 2.30 cents per ordinary share 
Interim dividend for the year ended 30 June 2019 of 1.25 cents per ordinary share 
Final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2017 (declared and paid prior to the IPO)

refundable at the reporting date. 

Note 23. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 
The  Group's  activities  expose  it  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks:  market  risk  (including  foreign  currency  risk,  price  risk  and 
interest  rate  risk),  credit  risk  and  liquidity  risk.  The  Group's  overall  risk  management  program  focuses  on  the 
unpredictability  of  financial  markets  and  seeks  to minimise  potential  adverse  effects  on  the  financial  performance  of  the 
Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain risk 
exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The 
Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity 
analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and ageing analysis for credit risk. 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors 
('the  Board').  These  policies  include  identification  and  analysis  of  the  risk  exposure  of  the  Group  and  appropriate 
procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating 
units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis. 

Market risk 

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

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

In  order  to  protect  against  exchange  rate  movements,  the  Group  has  entered  into  forward  foreign  exchange  contracts. 
These  contracts  are  hedging  highly  probable  forecasted  cash  flows  for  the  ensuing  financial  year.  Most  of  the  Group’s 
transactions are carried out in $AUD. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Group’s overseas purchases, 
which are primarily denominated in $US-Dollars ($USD). To mitigate the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-
$AUD  cash  flows  are  monitored,  and  forward  exchange  contracts  are  entered  into  in  accordance  with  the  Group’s  risk 
management  policies.  The  usual  length  of  forward  contracts  entered  into  are  short  term  and  cover  known  $USD 
exposures. Where the amounts to be paid and received in a specific currency are expected to largely offset one another, 
no further hedging activity is undertaken. 

At 30 June 2019, the Group had forward foreign exchange contracts to acquire $15,900,000 of USD (2018: $15,355,000). 
These  are  due  to  mature  within  3  months  of  balance  date.  The  fixed  exchange  rates  on  these  contracts  ranged  from 
0.6675 to 0.7154 (2018: 0.7335 to 0.8046). 

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in AUD, was as follows:

The  percentage  change  is  the  expected  overall  volatility  of  the  significant  currencies,  which  is  based  on  management's 
assessment of reasonable possible fluctuations. The actual foreign exchange loss for the year ended 30 June 2019 was 
$51,000 (2018: loss of $657,000). 

Price risk 
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk. 

Interest rate risk 
The  Group's  main  interest  rate  risk  arises  from  long-term  borrowings.  Borrowings  obtained  at  variable  rates  expose  the 
Group to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. 

As at the reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate borrowings outstanding:

Note 23. Financial instruments (continued) 

For the Group the bank loans outstanding, totalling $12,647,000 (2018: $14,021,000), are principal and interest payment 
loans. An official increase/decrease in interest rates of 50 (2018: 50) basis points would have an adverse/favourable effect 
on profit before tax of $63,000 (2018: $70,000) per annum. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of 
interest rates using market data  and  analysts forecasts. In addition, minimum principal repayments of $1,438,000 (2018: 
$1,438,000) are due during the subsequent 12 month period. 

Credit risk 
Credit  risk refers  to  the  risk  that a  counterparty  will  default on  its contractual obligations resulting  in financial loss to the 
Group.  The  Group  has  a  strict  code  of  credit,  including  obtaining  agency  credit  information,  confirming  references  and 
setting  appropriate  credit  limits.  The  Group  obtains  guarantees  where  appropriate  to  mitigate  credit  risk.  The  maximum 
exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for 
impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The 
Group does not hold any collateral. 

The  Group  has  adopted  a  lifetime  expected  loss  allowance  in  estimating  expected  credit  losses  to  trade  receivables 
through  the  use  of  a  provisions  matrix  using  fixed  rates  of  credit  loss  provisioning.  These  provisions  are  considered 
representative across all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-
looking information that is available. 

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

Liquidity risk 
Vigilant  liquidity  risk  management  requires  the  Group  to  maintain  sufficient  liquid  assets  (mainly  cash  and  cash 
equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. 

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously 
monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Note 24. Fair value measurement 

Fair value hierarchy 
The  following  tables  detail  the  Group's  assets  and  liabilities,  measured  or  disclosed  at  fair  value,  using  a  three  level 
hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: 
Level  1:  Quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or  liabilities  that  the  entity  can  access  at  the 
measurement date 
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
or indirectly 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year. 

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair 
values due to their short-term nature. 

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market 
interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities. 

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3 
Derivative  financial  instruments  have  been  valued  using  quoted  market  rates,  adjusted  as  appropriate.  This  valuation 
technique  maximises  the  use  of  observable  market  data  where  it  is  available  and  relies  as  little  as  possible  on  entity 
specific estimates.

On 30 September 2017, the Group acquired 34% of the ordinary shares in Top Draw Tyres, the importer and distributor of 
tyres in South Africa. The Group subsequently acquired a further 16% on 13 December 2017. The Group now owns 50% 
of  Top  Draw  Tyres  and  the  remaining  shares  are  held  by  the  Top  Draw  Tyres  vendors.  Total  consideration  for  the 
acquisition was $4,006,000 in cash. The acquired business has contributed revenue of $8,260,000 and profit before tax of 
$735,000 to the Group from the date of acquisition to 30 June 2018. If the acquisition occurred on 1 July 2017, the full year 
contributions would have been revenues of $17,060,000 and profit before tax of $1,190,000. NTAW recognised $133,000 
as previously equity accounted profits for the period up until control was obtained. 

S.N Tyre Wholesaler Pty Ltd ('Cotton') 
On 31 October 2017, the Group acquired 100% of the business assets from Cotton, a distributor of tyres in South Australia

Note 31. Business combinations (continued) 

Statewide Tyre Distribution Pty Ltd ('Statewide') 
On  31  May  2018,  the  Group  acquired  100%  of  the  ordinary  shares  in  Statewide,  the  importer  and  distributor  of  tyres  in 
South  Australia,  New  South  Wales  and  the  Northern  Territory.  Total  consideration  for  the  acquisition  was  $8,542,000, 
including  $7,067,000  in  cash  consideration  and  $1,475,000  in  Company  shares,  issued  on  31  May  2018  and  18  June 
2018. The acquired business has contributed revenue of $1,970,000 and profit before tax of $170,000 to the Group from 
the date of acquisition to 30 June 2018. Due to Statewide not maintaining accounting records in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards prior to the acquisition, it is impracticable to disclose the impact to revenue and profit and loss of the 
Group for the 2018 financial year if the acquisition had been at 1 July 2017. 

The goodwill on the above acquisitions comprise the value of the workforce, future revenues from those customers which 
are not current and expected and future synergies to be realised as part of the Group.

Cash and cash equivalents 
Trade and other receivables

NTAW Senior Executive Option Plan ('SEOP') 
The SEOP was used  prior to the Company’s listing  on the ASX to recognise senior executives contribution to the Group 
and to allow them to share in the growth in value of the Group. 

Under  the  terms  of  the  SEOP,  participants  are  granted  options  over  ordinary  shares  of  the  Company  which  vest  only  if 
certain events occur. 

This plan has been discontinued following the IPO. 

Employee Share Option Plan ('ESOP') 
The Company adopted a new employee share option plan on 6 November 2017. The details of the ESOP are summarised 
as follows: 

Options may be granted under the ESOP to any person who is, or is proposed to be, a full-time or part-time employee, a 
non-executive director, a contractor (40% full-time equivalent ('FTE')) or a casual employee (40% FTE) of the Company or 
any  of  its  associated  bodies  corporate,  and  whom  the  Board  determines  to  be  an  eligible  person  for  the  purposes  of 
participation in the ESOP (referred to as an 'Eligible Person'). 

An option may not be granted under the ESOP if, immediately following its grant, the shares to be received on exercise of 
the option, when aggregated with the number of shares which would be issued if each unvested option granted under the 
ESOP or any other employee incentive scheme of the Company were to vest and be exercised and the number of shares 
issued in the previous 3 years under the ESOP or any other employee incentive scheme of the Company, exceeds 5% of 
the total number of issued shares at the time of grant (or any varied limit if permitted under the Corporations Act 2001, ASX 
Listing Rules and ASIC instruments). Certain offers of options may be excluded from calculation as permitted under Class 
Order  14/1000,  including  excluded  offers  under  section  708  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  offers  under  a  disclosure 
document. 

Each option entitles the participant to subscribe for one ordinary share in the Company. 

The specific terms relevant to the grant of options are set out in an offer from the Company to the Eligible Person which 
contains details of the application price (if any) (which must not be for more than nominal consideration), the expiry date, 
the  exercise  price,  the  vesting  date,  any  applicable  performance  conditions  and  other  specific  terms  relevant  to  those 
options. 

Unless otherwise  specified  in  the  offer  of an  option,  if a  “Change  of  Control  Event” occurs before  the  vesting  date  of  an 
option,  that  option  immediately  vests  and  ceases  to  be  subject  to  any  performance  condition  to  which  it  was  subject. A 
Change of Control Event means the occurrence of one or more of the following events: 
● 

 a person who has offered to acquire all shares in the Company acquires Control (as defined in section 50AA of the 
Corporations Act 2001) of the Company; 
 any other event occurs which causes a change in Control of the Company; 
 unless the  Board  determines otherwise, a takeover bid is recommended by the  Board  or a scheme of arrangement 
which would have a similar effect to a full takeover bid is announced by the Company; and 
 any other event which the Board reasonably considers should be regarded as a Change of Control Event.

Options may only be transferred:

 to a legal personal representative on the death of the participant or to the participant’s trustee in bankruptcy  on the 
bankruptcy of the participant; or 
 pursuant  to  an  off-market  takeover  bid,  in  various  compulsory  acquisition  scenarios  under  Chapter  6A  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001, under a creditor’s scheme of arrangement under section 411 of the Corporations Act 2001 or

An option does not confer any rights to participate in a new issue of shares by the Company. 

If the Company conducts a rights issue, the exercise price of options will be adjusted in accordance with the adjustment 
formula for pro rata issues set out in the Listing Rules. 

If the Company makes a bonus issue of securities to holders of shares, the rights of a holder in respect of an unexercised 
option  will be  modified  such that the  participant  will receive,  upon  exercise  of  an  option, one  Share  plus such  additional 
securities which the participant would have received had the participant exercised the option immediately before the record 
date for that bonus issue and participated in the bonus issue as the holder of the share. 

If the Company’s issued capital is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction, or return), then the number 
of options, the exercise price or both or any other terms will be reorganised in a manner determined by the Board which 
complies with the Listing Rules. 

Any shares issued under the ESOP rank equally in all respects with the Shares of the same class on issue, subject to the 
restrictions on the transfer of shares. 

Shares issued on exercise of options are not transferable for the period (if any) specified in the offer from the Company to 
the Eligible Person. 

An unvested option lapses upon the first to occur of the following: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 its expiry date; 
 any applicable performance condition not being satisfied prior to the end of any prescribed performance period; 
 a transfer or purported transfer of the option in breach of the rules; 
 30 days following the day the participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company or an associated body 
corporate  by  resigning  voluntarily  and  not  recommencing  employment  with  the  Company  or  an  associated  body 
corporate before the expiration of that 30 days; 
 30 days following the day the participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company or an associated body 
corporate by reason of his or her death, disability, bona fide redundancy, or any other reason with the approval of the 
Board  and  the  participant  has  not  recommenced  employment  with  the  Company  or  an  associated  body  corporate 
before the expiration of those 30 days, however the Board has a discretion to deem all or any of the options to have 
vested; or 
 termination of the participant’s employment or engagement with the Company or an associated body corporate on the 
basis the participant acted fraudulently, dishonestly, in breach of the participant’s obligations or otherwise for cause.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the law, the Board may at any time by resolution amend or add to the rules of the 
ESOP. However,  the  consent  of  a  participant  is  required  for  any  change  to  the  rules  or  option  terms  which  prejudicially 
affects  the  rights of the  participant  in relation  to the  option  (except  for certain  changes, including  changes to  benefit  the

Employee Gifted Shares 
During  the  year,  Terry  and  Susanne  Smith  (co-founders  of  Exclusive  Tyre  Distributors  Australia  Pty  Ltd)  and  Chris  and 
Christine  Hummer  (co-founders  of  Dynamic Wheel  Co  Pty  Ltd),  transferred  a  total  of  319,666  of  their  personally  owned 
National Tyre & Wheel Limited (NTD) shares to a number of employees of the Group. The gifts were made as a gesture of 
thanks  and  appreciation  for  the  employees’  efforts  and  support  for  the  business,  prior  to  NTD’s  listing  on  the  ASX  in 
December  2017. The  transfers  occurred  following  the  release  of  the  shares  from  voluntary  escrow  during  the  year  and 
were valued at 45 cents per share at that time.

 The Exercise price was adjusted during the financial year as a result of the share consolidation and share split that occurred prior to the IPO. 
 All options were exercised just prior to the Group listing on the ASX. The weighted average share price on the exercise date is therefore considered to be $1.00. 

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at the end of the financial year was nil years (2018: 
nil years).

How our audit addressed the matter

Impairment of goodwill and separately identifiable intangible assets

Refer to Note 14: Intangibles 

As part of business combinations completed 
during prior years, the Group recognised 
goodwill and other intangible assets valued at 
$8,878,000 and $11,435,000, respectively. 

These intangible assets relate to the acquisition 
of various subsidiaries of National Tyre & Wheel 
Ltd, with these subsidiaries being the basis of 
management’s determination of Cash-
Generating Units (“CGU”) in the Group. 

The carrying amount of Goodwill and the 
intangible assets is supported by value-in-use 
calculations prepared by management which 
are based on budgeted future cash flows and 
key estimates such as growth rate and discount 
rate. 

This is a key area of audit focus as the value of 
the intangible assets is material and the 
evaluation of the recoverable amount of these 
assets requires significant judgement in 
determining the key estimates supporting the 
expected future cash flows of the CGUs and the 
utilisation of the relevant assets. 

Our audit procedures included: 
  Assessing management’s determination of 

the Group’s CGUs based on our 
understanding of the nature of the Group’s 
business and the identifiable groups of cash 
generating assets; 

  Comparing the cash flow forecasts used in 
the value-in-use calculations to Board 
approved budgets for the 2020 financial year 
and the Group’s historic actual performance;  
  Assessing the significant judgements and key 

estimates used for the impairment 
assessment, in particular, those judgements 
relating to the discount rate and cash flow 
forecasts;  

  Checking the mathematical accuracy of the 

impairment testing model and agreed 
relevant data to the latest budgets;  

  Performing sensitivity analysis by varying 
significant judgements and key estimates, 
including the discount rate and growth rate 
inputs, for the CGUs to which goodwill 
relates; and 

  Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s 

disclosures in respect of impairment testing 
of goodwill and indefinite useful life intangible 
assets. 

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 

information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not 

include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not 

express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 

and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 

report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 

other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report  

The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 

and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and 

for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 

financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 

fraud or error.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 

continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 

going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 

operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 

free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 

includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that 

an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 

misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material 

if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 

decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 

judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud 

or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence 

that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a 

material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may 

involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal 

control.  

  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 

that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 

effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 

and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events 

or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 

report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to 

modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

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

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

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report  

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

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud 
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence 
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a 
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may 
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal 
control.  

  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 

and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events 
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. 
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to 
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
