ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Chairperson’s Letter

I am extremely proud to chair the 
Board of this financially successful 
and culturally strong company that 
always remains focused on the 
professional support of the dentists 
who choose to practice with us, the 
wellbeing of our employees and the 
oral health of our patients.

This financial year I accepted the role 
of Chairperson of Pacific Smiles Group, 
following Robert (Bob) Cameron’s 
retirement after 17 years as Chairman. 
Robert (Bob) Cameron stepped down 
as Chair in February 2020 and on behalf 
of the Board I would like to thank Bob 
for his immense contribution to the 
company since its inception to growth to 
93 centres in his tenure. 

Mark Bloom joined the Board as a 
non-executive director this year adding 
his extensive experience in running 
global and local finance and information 
technology teams. Mark most recently 
held the position of CFO at ASX 20 listed 
Scentre Group Limited (owner and 
operator of Westfield in AU and NZ). 

In the year 2020, we must acknowledge 
the challenges COVID-19 has brought 
us as we operate this business with 
an agile mindset to ensure the best 
management of the virus and the safety 
of practitioners, employees and patients. 
In April, Pacific Smiles Group reverted to 
emergency services with only 16 centres 
remaining open. Despite these 
challenges Pacific Smiles Groups 
delivered $186.3 million in patient fees 
and $23.5 million in underlying EBITDA 
in no small part due to the unified 
commitment of practitioners, employees 
and our patients. 

The Board has focused on empowering 
the organisation and facilitating capital 
investment to drive Pacific Smiles 
Group’s growth. In FY20, we opened 

5 new centres with only 1 new centre 
in the second half of the year. While 
COVID-19 has caused a near-term 
disruption in new openings we remain 
very excited by the long-term opportunity 
to open more than 250 centres 
throughout Australia. Additionally, 
we have enabled key leadership 
opportunities and are delighted that 
almost 90% of key leadership roles are 
held by women. This is a continuation 
of Pacific Smiles Group’s focus on 
cultivating culture as a competitive 
advantage. At Pacific Smiles Group, we 
strive to improve, adapt and refuse to 
be satisfied with the status quo, always 
developing our offering to better suit all 
key stakeholder groups.

We are proud to support the 
Australian Dental Health Foundation 
who continue to improve the oral 
health of disadvantaged Australians. 
The Foundation coordinates life changing 
treatment, positively impacting the quality 
of life and smiles of many Australians. 

FY21 has commenced with the 
announcement of Pacific Smiles Group 
signing an initial 10-year base term 
Management Services Agreement with 
Western Australian health fund market 
leader HBF. This relationship consolidates 
Pacific Smiles’ position as the leading 
organic growth focused dental service 
organisation in Australia. At the same 
time, we continue our successful 
agreement with nib health funds as the 
owner and operator of nib Dental Care 
centres. The new financial year also 
marked the retirement of our co-founder 
Dr Alex Abrahams as a Non-Executive 
Director. His passion and drive to create 
a better work environment for dentists 
and better oral health outcomes for 
patients led to the group’s success. The 
Board thanks Alex for his significant 
contribution.

I would like to thank the dentists who 
choose to practice at our centres and 
who ensure leading standards in patient 
care. Thanks also to the employees, my 
fellow Directors and the members of 
the Executive Leadership Team for their 
hard work and adaptability this year, 
particularly enabling the business to 
stand back up so quickly and safely in 
quarter four. Phil McKenzie, in his second 
year as Managing Director, led this strong 
and focused performance; making 
decisions with speed and conviction and 
proactively adapting during uncertain 
times. On behalf of the Board I would like 
to thank Phil for his energetic leadership.

The last financial year’s investment in 
growth opportunities incorporating 
capital investment, network growth and 
leadership opportunities will lay a solid 
foundation for the future strength and 
success of the organisation in the coming 
year. Only the best professional services 
will excel in the current market that 
requires constant adaptability, and with 
‘Adapt’ forming one of our key cultural 
values we will be able to continue to 
provide the public access to the world’s 
best oral healthcare.

No final dividend was declared in relation 
to FY2020. Total dividends in relation to 
FY2020 represented 46% of underlying 
net profit after tax.

Thank you to our shareholders for your 
continued support.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Managing Director’s Report

In FY 2020, Pacific Smiles delivered over 767,000 patient 
appointments with a patient net promoter score of greater 
than 80%. We opened 5 new dental centres in Robina and 
Mitchelton in Queensland and Epping, Ocean Grove and 
Narre Warren in Victoria taking the network total to 94. In my 
second year as Managing Director, I couldn’t be more pleased 
with our results progression or more appreciative of the 
contribution of every person involved with this organisation.  

After 17 years as founding Chairman of the Board Robert 
Cameron AO has retired and we would like to thank him for 
his significant contribution to the business over the years; and 
from me personally for facilitating my successful transition in 
as Managing Director. Pacific Smiles congratulates Zita Peach 
stepping up to the role of Chairperson. Zita’s decades of 
relevant healthcare experience and positive focus since joining 
the board in 2017 has been to empower the management 
team to deliver on our organisational growth strategy. 
The Board and management are also pleased to welcome 
Mark Bloom to the Pacific Smiles Group Board adding to its 
caliber with a highly respected commercial financial skillset 
and deep retail property experience.

To ensure our growth plans are met, we have invested by 
adding key leadership roles to the Executive Team for the 
Property and Technology functions. Attracting and investing in 
top tier talent will enable us to scale and not dilute our culture. 
The pride and diligent dedication shown by our people every 
day makes Pacific Smiles Group the company that it is.

Operational Overview and Insights

Statutory Results

The first half of the financial year delivered strong underlying 
EBITDA growth of 15.0% and the opening of four new dental 
centres. Our Insight graduate program had a record number 
of applications and 20 new graduates began the program 
with Pacific Smiles Group this year, our biggest intake to date. 
We also launched the Pacific Smiles education experience 
node for University of Sydney final year dental students. 
This program was developed to broaden the student training 
program and provide experience in a private practice setting. 
The University of Sydney Dental School has been providing 
education and training in dentistry and oral health for over 
100 years and we are proud to partner with the university to 
help shape the future of oral healthcare in Australia.

The third quarter for 2020 delivered the Australian market 
unforeseen health and business challenges with the impact 
of COVID-19. Pacific Smiles’ proven business processes, 
system and protocols for servicing dentists and caring for 
patients and each other enabled us to successfully manage 
through the crisis and stand the business back up efficiently 
and effectively, once restrictions eased in May.

Over 600 dentists were actively supported by Pacific Smiles’ 
during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. 
Restrictions on dental practices changed on multiple occasions 
and it was important for us to guide practitioners in complying 
with the guidelines put forward by the Australian Dental 
Association and enforced by Australian Health Protection 
Principle Committee (AHPPC). In doing so, practitioners were 
able to continue to assist patients needing care during the 
pandemic, both face to face and via tele-dentistry, with the 
safety of the patients and the dental team top of mind.

The fourth quarter was about leading out of the disruption 
and uncertainty with agility. Our commitment to expanding 
services to patients was demonstrated with the opening of 
a new dental centre in Narre Warren, Victoria.

The long-term plan remains simple and focused on growing 
the core business through our unique greenfield centre 
expansion program; the goal of more than 250 centres and 
800 chairs is unchanged.

Statutory net profit after tax for the year was $6.4 million. 
This result is down on the 2019 statutory net profit after tax of 
$8.6 million, a decrease of 25.5%. The statutory results for the 
year were impacted by COVID-19 and Government mandated 
restrictions on dental services and several underlying 
adjustments as detailed in the table below.

The new standard resulted in the Group recognising 
depreciation and interest costs, rather than operating lease 
expenses. During the year the Group recognised $9.2 million 
of depreciation charges, $2.8 million of interest costs from 
these leases payable and $0.03 million of interest income from 
leases receivable. AASB 16 had an impact of $0.1 million on 
net profit after tax (NPAT).

The Operational overview and insights discussions will focus 
on the underlying results for 2020 and the comparative 
period and excluding the impacts of AASB 16 in 2020 given 
the standard does not require restatement of comparatives. 
Removing these impacts enhances the year on year 
performance comparisons.

Underlying Results

Underlying EBITDA, exclusive of the impacts of AASB 16, 
increased by 2.9% to $23.5 million compared with the 
previous financial year.

For the 8 months to 29 February 2020, prior to COVID-19 
restrictions, both patient fees and underlying EBITDA 
were tracking at approximately 14% growth on the prior 
corresponding period.

On 30 March 2020, the Australian Health Protection Principle 
Committee (AHPPC) mandated Level 3 restrictions to dental 
services. This resulted in 76 dental centres closing for a period 
of 4 weeks, and a large proportion of our workforce being 
stood down during this time. The centres which remained 
open were selected due to the role they played as regional 
‘hubs’ to continue to offer emergency care within their 
communities.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Almost 90% of 
key leadership 
roles are held by 
women at Pacific 
Smiles Group.

10

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Restrictions were eased to Level 2 on 24 April and returned 
to normal dental services (with COVID-19 precautions) from 
11 May. At this time all centres re-opened and employees 
were stood back up to support patient volumes. Our ability 
to be operationally agile throughout this period led to strong 
patient volumes in June with same centre patient fee growth 
for the  month of 12.4%.

Underlying NPAT decreased by 9.7% to $8.1 million 
compared to $8.9 million for the prior year.

To reduce the cost base and preserve cash during the 
nationwide restrictions, the Chief Executive Officer and 
Executive Leadership team salaries and Non-executive 
Director fees were reduced for a period of time. Short-term 
incentive bonuses were not paid this year, notwithstanding 
that prior to COVID-19 management were on track to achieve 
the targets for 2020. Executive team salaries were reinstated 
in recognition of the workload required to support the 
business to rapidly scale at the conclusion of the restrictions.

A cost reduction program was implemented in late 
March 2020 to review and negotiate savings with key 
suppliers and with landlords. We were able to negotiate 
approximately $1 million in abatements and deferrals with 
the vast majority of landlords.

Pacific Smiles successfully applied for the Government’s 
JobKeeper scheme and was eligible from 1 April 2020. 
In FY 2020, the Company is entitled to $8.4 million for its 
eligible employees.

Depreciation costs (excluding the impact of AASB 16) totalled 
$11.0 million an increase of $1.6 million on the prior period. 
Group revenue was $120.6 million, down 1.3% over the 

previous financial year. Revenue is the service fees charged 
to the dentists who practice from our centres. Pacific 
Smiles provides dentists with fully serviced and equipped 
facilities including support staff, materials, marketing and 
administrative services. Dentists are then free to focus on 
offering exceptional patient care.

The Government mandated restrictions on dental services 
resulted in an estimated reduction in patient fees of 
$28.0 million. Up until the end of February, Pacific Smiles was 
tracking at achieving patient fee growth of 14.2% but ended 
the year down by 0.6% due to the restrictions.

Revenue growth is achieved through the combination of our 
existing dental centres and our new dental centres opened in 
recent years. Patient fees decreased 0.6% over the previous 
year to $186.3 million due to the impact of COVID-19 
on same centre patient fees which contracted by 4.5%. 
The new centres have performed in line with expectations 
prior to COVID-19 and will be strong contributors to long-term 
growth and profit margins over time.

The Group’s underlying EBITDA to Patient fees margin 
increased in 2020 to 12.6%, supported by the JobKeeper 
Government scheme and operational capability to scale 
expenditure. The year saw a decline in top line growth across 
our network of centres with COVID-19 restrictions reducing 
appointment volumes. The increasing proportion of fees 
coming from centres opened in the last 3 years unfavourably 
impacted the EBITDA to Patient fees margin given that the 
less mature Pacific Smiles’ dental centres typically generate 
lower margins. This means the accelerated dental centre 
rollout strategy also affects Group profitability, and therefore 
margins, in the short term.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Financial Position

Pacific Smiles’ strong focus on cash management resulted 
in net debt of $6.7 million as at 30 June 2020. In order to 
maximise financial flexibility in the current environment, the 
Group secured an additional debt facility of $10.0 million 
in August 2020. This takes the overall debt facility to 
$40.0 million and gives Pacific Smiles significant capacity 
should there be future COVID-19 mandated restriction periods 
in 2021, as well as focusing on the long-term growth strategy 
of dental centre rollouts.

Capital expenditure for the year was lower at $10.0 million 
(FY2019: $16.5 million), reflecting a spending pause during 
March to May 2020. It includes 5 new centres, additional 
chairs in existing centres, automated sterilisation systems 
and the bulk purchase of dental chairs.

Borrowings increased by $5.0 million to $22.0 million in 
the current year to support the expansion of the dental 
centre network and upgrades of existing facilities, equipment 
and systems.

The Group implemented a Dividend Reinvestment Plan for 
the fully franked interim dividend of 2.40 cents per share 
this year. This action gave existing shareholders the flexibility 
to reinvest in the business, while allowing the Company to 
retain additional cash of $1.7 million as a buffer for the period 
of shutdowns.

With shareholders electing to receive $1.7 million as ordinary 
shares, a further $7.3 million cash dividend was paid to 
shareholders this financial year. In total, ordinary dividends of 
$9.0 million were paid to shareholders in 2020, compared with 
$9.3 million in the prior year.

No final dividend was declared for FY2020. The dividend 
payout ratio is 46.3% of underlying Net Profit After Tax, 
exclusive of AASB 16 (2019 was 98.8% of underlying Net 
Profit After Tax).

The Market

The market for dental services in Australia is approximately 
$10 billion to $11 billion per annum and continues to grow 
steadily over the long term.

Funding for dental services is predominantly from individuals; 
however private health insurance participation supports 
dental attendances and spending through co-payment 
arrangements. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation 
Agency’s (APRHA) latest dental service data reported that 
more than 44 million dental services per annum were funded 
by health funds as at March 2020, with health funds paying 
more than $2.0 billion per annum in dental benefits.

The proportions of total expenditure on dental services by 
health funds and by Government are trending in opposite 
directions. Health funds have increased their proportion 
from 14.0% in 2009-10 to 19.1% in 2017-18, according to 
Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. The proportion

in 2009-10 to 15.0% in 2017-18, with expenditure by 
State and Local Governments maintained at 8.2% in 2009-
10 and in 2017-18. The Child Dental Benefit Schedule 
and some partnership arrangements with the States and 
Territories, continue to be the main funding programs of the 
Commonwealth Government, whereas the various States and 
Territories operate systems to overflow patients from public 
clinics to the private sector.

The industry continues to be highly fragmented with the 
majority of providers operating from small scale single 
locations, although corporate activity in the sector is 
increasing. There are more branded networks, including 
some owned and operated by private health insurance 
organisations, who market to their own members to 
encourage attendance.

The other major feature of the market is the continued growth 
in the number of registered dentists. The increase in recent 
years has been the combined impact of overseas trained 
dentists and local graduates. The number of registered 
dentists was 18,157 in March 2020, up 2.8% on the prior 
year. The demographic shift in the dental workforce continues 
with females making up 53% of registered dentists, increasing 
1% on the year earlier.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Table 1: Risk Management

Risk Area

Mitigating Factors

General economic conditions  
Downturns in general economic conditions could adversely 
impact demand for dental services, given the discretionary 
nature of some of those services.

Reduction in private health insurance coverage  
Changes to the nature or extent of private health insurance 
coverage could impact upon the attendance frequency 
of patients.

Competition-induced fee pressure  
An increase in the number of practicing dentists could 
increase competition for patients and the degree to which 
dentists compete on the basis of fee levels.

Termination of Service and Facility Agreements 
by dentists  
Under the Service and Facility Agreements between Pacific 
Smiles and dentists, the dentists may terminate without 
cause, on a few months’ notice.

Reputational damage  
Actions by employees or dentists could give rise to 
reputational damage to Pacific Smiles and its brands.

Supply of skilled dentists  
Should the availability of appropriately skilled and aligned 
dentists become restricted, then growth and expansion of 
Pacific Smiles could be slowed, and/or the cost of dentists 
could escalate.

Pandemic  
Should a pandemic restrict the dental services able to be 
performed in specific locations, States or nationally due to 
the risk of infection to staff, dentists and patients.

Cyber Security  
Actions whereby the Company’s IT systems are accessed 
and result in the failure of or interruption to key IT systems or 
a material patient privacy breach.

Dentists at Pacific Smiles’ dental centres provide a range of 
treatments to patients in a number of different geographic 
zones throughout the eastern States of Australia.

Patients at Pacific Smiles’ dental centres are a mix of privately 
insured and non-insured individuals and there are various 
payment plans and treatment payment options available.

Pacific Smiles’ dental centres are usually differentiated 
from other local providers and compete on the basis of 
convenience, value, access and overall patient experience.

Pacific Smiles views the dentists as a key customer group 
and focuses resources accordingly.

There is a close focus on internal procedures and clinical 
governance by management and the Board. This has been 
further enhanced by the internal and external appointments to 
the Dental Advisory Committee.

The focus on training and development of dentists, including 
a structured mentoring program for new graduate dentists, is 
building a platform of appropriately skilled and aligned dentists 
for the long term.

Close monitoring and adherence to Government or 
professional body recommendations. Ensuring adequate 
stock of appropriate personal protective equipment 
(PPE), and close focus on internal procedures and clinical 
governance by management and the Board.

Pacific Smiles Group has industry best practice controls in 
place to minimise technology related business interruptions 
and to manage the end-to-end cyber lifecycle. It also has 
cyber and technology roadmaps in place to continually uplift 
its maturity in both areas to meet compliance and operational 
expectations.

15

Key Supply Chain  
Should an event result in the closure, restriction or delay of 
key consumables or personal protective equipment (PPE) 
meaning our ability to meet the needs of patients or support 
dentists could be impacted.

Long-term relationships with national suppliers and back-up 
suppliers identified. Close monitoring of inventory levels and 
ensuring adequate stock of appropriate personal protective 
equipment (PPE). Strategy for emergency store of critical 
PPE enacted.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Directors’ Report

The Directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 
‘consolidated entity’) consisting of Pacific Smiles Group Limited (referred to hereafter as the ‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) and the 
entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2020.

Directors
The following persons were directors of Pacific Smiles Group Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of 
this report, unless otherwise stated:

Ms Zita Peach (appointed Chairperson 19 February 2020)
Mr Robert Cameron AO (resigned 19 February 2020)
Mr Phil McKenzie 
Dr Alex Abrahams (resigned 23 July 2020)

Principal activities
The consolidated entity principally operates dental centres at which independent dentists practice and provide clinical treatments 
and services to patients. Revenues and profits are primarily derived from fees charged to dentists for the provision of these fully 
serviced dental facilities.

Dividends
Dividends paid during the financial year were as follows:

Final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2019 of 3.50 cents (2018: 3.80 cents) per ordinary share,

Dividend reinvestment plan

The consolidated entity’s dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) applied to the fully franked interim dividend of 2.40 cents per share 
announced on 20 February 2020. The DRP allowed eligible shareholders to reinvest all or part of their dividend payments into 
Pacific Smiles shares. The price at which shares are allocated under the DRP is the daily volume weighted average market price 
of the company’s shares sold in the ordinary course of trading on the ASX over a period of 5 days beginning on 20 April 2020. 
Shares allocated under the DRP rank equally with the company’s existing fully paid ordinary shares. The DRP resulted in 
shareholders electing to receive an additional 1,522,155 shares in total, priced at $1.716 million.

There were no dividends declared but not recognised at the end of the financial year.

Review of operations
Information on the operations and financial position of the consolidated entity and its business strategies and prospects is set 
out in the Operating and Financial Review accompanying this report.

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

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing, and it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact after 
the reporting date. There has been no material impact to the consolidated entity’s financial performance or position arising 
from the pandemic from the end of the reporting period to the date of this report. The situation is ongoing and is dependent 
on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, 
quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

Management services agreement with HBF

Pacific Smiles has signed an initial 10-year base term Management Services Agreement (MSA) with Western Australian health 
fund HBF in early July 2020. Under the agreement HBF will build a minimum of five HBF Dental (HBFD) clinics across Western 
Australia over the next 18 months. Pacific Smiles will be the exclusive operator of these and any additional HBFD clinics rolled 
out in Western Australia for the term of the MSA.

Pacific Smiles will receive a percentage of revenue from the operations in return for providing comprehensive operational support 
for the design, construction, and all aspects of the clinics’ day to day operations. HBF will be responsible for funding capital 
expenditure and in-clinic operating costs. Pacific Smiles does not expect the arrangement to be material to earnings within the 
first year of operation.

Resignation of director

Dr Alex Abrahams has resigned as Non-executive Director on 23 July 2020.

Other events

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, 
the consolidated entity’s operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future 
financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations
The consolidated entity will continue to pursue opportunities to enhance the growth and prosperity of its business. Refer to the 
Operating and Financial Review accompanying this report for further details.

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

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Directors’ ReportRemuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the consolidated entity, 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:

•  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

•  Details of remuneration

•  Share-based compensation

•  Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The objective of the consolidated entity’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and 
appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the 
creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board 
of Directors (‘the Board’) ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

•  competitiveness and reasonableness

•  acceptability to shareholders

•  performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation

•  transparency

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

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders’ interests. The Board have considered 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

•  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

•  providing a clear structure for earning rewards

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director 
remuneration is separate.

Non-executive Directors remuneration

Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-
executive Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chairperson’s fees are determined 
independently to the fees of other non-executive Directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chairperson 
is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of her own remuneration. Non-executive Directors do not receive 
share options or other incentives.

25

The non-executive Director fees are reviewed annually to ensure that the fees reflect market rates. There are no guaranteed 
annual increases in any Directors’ fees.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Non-executive Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the affairs of the 
consolidated entity.

The consolidated entity’s constitution provides that Non-executive Directors are entitled to receive compensation for their 
services as determined by approval at a general meeting. As at 30 June 2020, the current Directors’ fees pool is an aggregate 
sum of $800,000. The base fee payable to the Chairperson is $120,000 per annum, and the base fee payable to other 
Non-executive Directors is $70,000 per annum. Any change to this aggregate annual amount is required to be approved by 
shareholders. The Board may approve additional remuneration for special exertions and additional services performed by a 
Director outside of the aggregated pool. Remuneration paid to Directors in their capacity as employees also falls outside of the 
aggregated pool.

Executive remuneration

The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration 
which has both fixed and variable components. In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that 
remuneration practices are:

•  competitive and reasonable, enabling the consolidated entity to attract and retain key talent

•  aligned to the consolidated entity’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value

•  transparent

•  acceptable to shareholders; and

•  rewarding for performance

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:

•  base pay and non-monetary benefits

•  short-term performance incentive (STI) plan

•  long-term equity incentive (LTI) plan

•  other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave 

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

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

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 consolidated entity and provides additional value to the executive.

The short-term incentives (STI) program is designed to provide executives the opportunity to earn an annual incentive linked to 
the achievement of performance hurdles. The actual level of STI paid to each executive is determined at the end of the financial 
year based on the consolidated entity’s financial performance and non-financial key performance indicators (KPIs). Financial 
performance is assessed based on consolidated underlying Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation 
(EBITDA) meeting or exceeding Board approved targets. Non-financial KPIs are group KPIs, rather than individual KPIs and 
relate to Net Promoter Score (NPS) for patients, dentists and employees for the consolidated entity exceeding specific NPS 
targets. Targets are reviewed annually.

26

The executive STI plan performance criteria are summarised below:

Up to 35.0%

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Directors’ ReportOngoing participation by executives in the STI plan is at the discretion of the Board. With reference to recommendations from 
the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board will approve all executive STI payments, and may use its discretion to 
adjust STI remuneration up or down, to prevent any inappropriate reward outcomes.

The STI amounts are paid in cash, and are those earned during the financial year and provided for in the annual financial 
statements. STI cash bonuses are generally payable in September following the end of the financial year, and once the financial 
results of the year have been subject to independent external audit.

The consolidated entity has a LTI plan to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of executives. The LTI plan is designed to 
align the interests of senior management more closely with the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity for senior 
management to receive an equity interest in the consolidated entity through the granting of performance rights. 

Performance rights have been issued to the Chief Executive Officer and selected senior managers, at the absolute discretion of 
the Board, pursuant to the LTI plan in financial years from 2016 to 2020.

Vesting of the performance rights on issue for the years 2018, 2017 and 2016 is subject to:

•  satisfaction of earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdles for a four-year performance period. The number of performance 
rights vesting will be determined on a sliding scale from nil vesting for an EPS compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% 
per annum or less and 100% vesting for an EPS CAGR of 25% per annum; and

•  the participant remaining employed by the Pacific Smiles Group (or its subsidiaries) over a four-year period through to the 

vesting date, subject to certain ‘good leaver’ exemptions.

Vesting of the performance rights on issue for the years 2020 and 2019 is subject to:

•  satisfaction of EPS performance hurdles for a four-year period. The number of performance rights vesting will be determined 
on a sliding scale from nil vesting for an EPS CAGR of 10% per annum or less and 100% vesting for an EPS CAGR of 25% 
per annum; and

•  the participant remaining employed by Pacific Smiles Group (or its subsidiaries) over a four-year period through to the vesting 

date, subject to certain ‘good leaver’exemptions.

Performance rights that do not vest on the relevant vesting date will lapse. Performance rights will also lapse if total shareholder 
return (TSR) does not reach a minimum threshold per annum over the relevant performance period.

In the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement in the consolidated entity’s financial statements, the Board may 
determine that certain performance-based remuneration (including STIs and/or LTIs) should not have been paid and may claw 
back performance-based remuneration paid in the preceding three financial years.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Indemnity and insurance of officers
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 following fees were paid or payable for services provided to KPMG, the auditor of the company:

Audit services – audit or review of 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 30 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.

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.

Auditor’s independence declaration
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out 
immediately after this directors’ report.

Auditor
KPMG continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.

Voting of shareholders at last year’s annual general meeting
The Group received more than 99% of ‘yes’ votes on its remuneration report for the 2019 financial year. The Group did not 
receive any specific feedback at the annual general meeting or throughout the year on its remunerations practices.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of Directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2020

Note 1. Corporate information
The financial statements cover Pacific Smiles Group Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Pacific Smiles Group Limited 
and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which 
is Pacific Smiles Group Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

Pacific Smiles Group Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 
On 21 November 2014 Pacific Smiles Group Limited was listed on the ASX. Its registered office and principal place of 
business is:

6 Molly Morgan Drive, Greenhills, New South Wales.

A description of the nature of the consolidated entity’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 19 August 2020. 
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 on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable, 
by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities, and assets and liabilities 
held for sale.

Critical accounting estimates

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

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

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

Any 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 consolidated entity.

38

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

AASB 16 Leases

The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. AASB 16 introduced a single, on-balance sheet lease 
accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right of use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset and 
a lease liability representing the lease payment obligations. Leases that are short term and low value are exempt under the 
standard and continue to be accounted for as an operating lease.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES On transition to AASB 16, the consolidated entity elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of 
which transactions are leases. The consolidated entity recognised new assets and liabilities for its leases of dental centres. 
The nature of expenses related to those leases has changed because the consolidated entity will recognise a depreciation 
charge for right of use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. Previously, the consolidated entity recognised operating 
lease expense on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

At 1 July 2019, the consolidated entity recognised a net post tax reduction in retained earnings for $3,810,000 represented by 
the following:

•  A right of use asset for $54,187,000 for former operating leases;

•  A $64,794,000 lease liability related to the same operating leases;

•  De-recognition of $5,419,000 in lease provisions existing at 30 June 2019 due to the write back of straight-line lease liability;

•  De-recognition of $1,200,000 in assets existing at 30 June 2019 due to a reduction in existing make good assets;

•  A lease receivable of $942,000 relating to sub-leases which have been classified as finance leases; and

•  A net increase in deferred tax assets of $1,633,000 due to the above adjustments.

As a result of initially applying AASB 16, both head-leases and sub-leases, that were previously classified as operating leases, 
the consolidated entity recognised $51,805,000 of right-of-use assets and $63,199,000 of lease liabilities as at 30 June 2020.

Also in relation to those leases under AASB 16, the consolidated entity has recognised depreciation and interest costs, instead 
of operating lease expenses. During the financial year ending 30 June 2020, the consolidated entity recognised $9,183,000 
of depreciation charges, $2,790,000 of interest costs from these leases payable, and $27,000 of interest income from leases 
receivable.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. 
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 34.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Pacific Smiles Group Limited 
(‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Pacific Smiles Group 
Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the ‘consolidated entity’.

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

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity.

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.

39

Where the consolidated entity 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 
consolidated entity 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the consolidated entity’s Chief 
Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker). The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources 
and assessing performance of the operating segments.

Revenue recognition

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Service and facility fees

The consolidated entity provides services and facilities to dentists practicing out of consolidated entity owned dental centres. 
Services and facilities include the use of fully equipped surgeries, staff, marketing and other support infrastructure. The monthly 
fee the consolidated entity invoices the dentists is a percentage of patient receipts net of direct costs, which are costs directly 
incurred by the dentists. The percentage is determined based on monthly patient receipts and the hours worked in accordance 
with a Services and Facilities Agreement. Revenue is recognised over time as the service is provided to the dentists. The 
Services and Facilities Agreement with the dentists allows the dentists the right to cancel the arrangement with one to three 
months of notice without penalty. 

Professional dental fees

Employed and contracted dentists provide a range of dental services to patients. Revenue is recognised once the service is 
provided for the amount charged to the patient, based on standard list price.

Prosthetist fees

Prosthetist fees include the manufacture and fitting of custom made dental prosthesis such as dentures. Upon completion and 
receipt of the product, control is passed to the customer and invoicing occurs. Revenue is recognised when the prosthesis is 
provided to the customer as although a denture is produced to a customer’s specification, if the contract is terminated by the 
customer the consolidated entity is not entitled to payment for services performed to date. 

Sale of dental products

The consolidated entity sells a range of dental products. Revenue is recognised when the product is provided to and paid for 
by the customer as this is when control transfers.

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.

40

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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2020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.

Pacific Smiles Group Limited (the ‘head entity’) and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax 
consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each 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 balance sheet based on current and non-current classification.

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

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

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

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.

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 consolidated entity 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

41

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.

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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale

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

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets of disposal 
groups to fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the 
remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax 
assets, employee benefit assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the consolidated entity’s other accounting 
policies. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs of disposal of a non-current assets and assets 
of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised.

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

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

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 straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment 
(excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Leasehold improvements 
Plant and equipment 

10-20 years
3-10 years

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.

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

Right-of-use assets

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

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

42

The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term 
leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit 
or loss as incurred.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2020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.

Goodwill is allocated to relevant cash-generating units (CGU) for the purpose of impairment testing. 

Rights and licences

Contractual rights and licences have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment 
losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost of the rights and licences over their 
estimated useful lives, being 15 years.

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.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable 
cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). 
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each 
reporting date. Cash inflows considered for the purposes of impairment testing are discounted to present value.

Significant judgement has been used in testing assets for impairment and in determining the amounts recognised as impairment 
losses at reporting date. Further details of the key judgements and estimates along with any impairment loss recognised in the 
financial statements are provided in the notes dealing with the relevant asset category.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial 
year and which are unpaid.

Borrowings

43

Borrowings are measured at amortised cost. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the consolidated entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the 
liabilities for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Lease liabilities

As a lessee:

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

Rent concessions:

The consolidated entity has applied the practical expedient to not assess rent concessions affecting payments due before the 
30 June 2021 and has occurred as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic as a lease modification.

The consolidated entity has recognised the amount as “other income” in profit or loss for the reporting period to reflect changes 
in lease payments that arise from rent concessions to which the lessee has applied the practical expedient.

When the consolidated entity acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an 
operating lease. To classify each lease, the consolidated entity makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers 
substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a 
finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the consolidated entity considers certain indicators 
such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

As a lessor: 

When the consolidated entity acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an 
operating lease. To classify each lease, the consolidated entity makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers 
substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a 
finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the consolidated entity considers certain indicators 
such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the consolidated entity is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease 
separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, 
not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the consolidated entity applies the 
exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease. If an arrangement contains lease and non-
lease components, then the consolidated entity applies AASB 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

The consolidated entity applies the derecognition and impairment requirements in AASB 9 to the net investment in the lease. 
The consolidated entity further regularly reviews estimated unguaranteed residual values used in calculating the gross investment 
in the lease. The consolidated entity recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line 
basis over the lease term as part of ‘other revenue’.

Generally, the accounting policies applicable to the consolidated entity as a lessor in the comparative period were not different 
from AASB 16 except for the classification of the sub-lease entered into during current reporting period that resulted in a finance 
lease classification.

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.

44

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, 
it is probable the consolidated entity 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2020Make good provision

The consolidated entity is required to restore most leased premises to their original condition at the end of their respective 
lease terms. A provision has been recognised for the present value of the estimated expenditure required to remove any 
leasehold improvements and repair any associated damage. These costs have been capitalised as part of the cost of leasehold 
improvements and are amortised over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the assets.

Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the consolidated entity from a 
contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the 
present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the 
contract. Before a provision is established, the consolidated entity recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated 
with that contract.

Restructuring

A provision for restructuring is recognised when the consolidated entity has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, 
and the restructuring has either commenced or has been announced. Future operating losses are not provided for.

Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is 
provided. The liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual 
leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as 
payables.

Other long-term employee benefits

The consolidated entity’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees 
have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary 
levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value. 
Re-measurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

The obligations are presented as a current liability in the balance sheet if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer 
settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

Defined contribution superannuation expense

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

Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to selected employees via a long term incentive plan (LTI plan).

The fair value of performance rights granted under the LTI plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a 
corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the 
performance rights granted, which includes any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions 
but excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of performance rights that are expected to vest. 
The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are 
satisfied. At the end of each period, the consolidated entity revises its estimates of the number of performance rights that are 
expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if 
any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

45

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES 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.

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.

Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of 
the company, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at the reporting date.

Business combinations

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

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

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

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

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

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

46

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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2020Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Pacific Smiles Group 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.

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 balance sheet.

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.

Government grants

Government grants shall be recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as 
expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

The consolidated entity recognises a government grant relating to JobKeeper payment as other income when the grant 
becomes receivable and when the consolidated entity has complied with the conditions associated with the grant.

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 consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. The consolidated 
entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

47

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES 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.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, 
on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services 
offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as 
addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or 
any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at 
the reporting date as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity 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 either the Binomial or Black-
Scholes 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.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its 
property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical 
innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than 
previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or 
written down.

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether 
goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated 
in note 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 consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 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.

Income tax

48

The consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated 
tax audit issues based on the consolidated entity’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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2020Recovery of deferred tax assets

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

Employee benefits provision

As discussed in note 2, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date 
are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees 
at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through 
promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

Lease make good provision

A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future restoration of leased premises. The provision 
includes future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The calculation of this provision requires assumptions 
such as application of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision recognised for each site is periodically reviewed and 
updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites are 
recognised in the balance sheet by adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in the provision that exceed the carrying 
amount of the asset will be recognised in profit or loss.

Note 4. Operating segments
The consolidated entity is organised into one operating segment, being activities within the dental sector throughout Eastern 
Australia. This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the consolidated entity’s Chief 
Executive Officer, who is identified as the chief operating decision maker, in assessing performance and in determining the 
allocation of resources. The consolidated entity’s operation inherently has one profile and performance assessment criteria. 
The financial results from this segment are consistent with the financial statements for the consolidated entity as a whole.

Impairment testing for cash-generating units (CGUs)

The impairment assessments for each CGU are made on the basis of the assets’ expected value in use and involve the use 
of key assumptions. Recoverable amounts of the CGUs exceeded their carrying values, therefore no impairment losses were 
recorded in the financial year.

For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amount of goodwill has been allocated  
to groups of CGUs as below:

New South Wales

Victoria

Queensland

The calculations use discounted cash flow projections covering a ten-year period, which is consistent with the typical lease 
term entered into for the consolidated entity’s dental centre locations, and matches the average growth profile of our dental 
centres. The cash flows for years one to five are based on detailed management projections, which consider historical financial 
results and trends, the Board-approved financial budget for the next financial year and reasonable expectations regarding future 
business and market circumstances. Cash flows beyond the first five year period are extrapolated to year ten using an estimated 
growth rate of 3%. The cash flow projections for years 1 to 5 are based on key assumptions including dentist numbers, number 
of operating chairs, practitioner hours, patient demand and associated costs.

55

A long term growth rate of 2.5% is used beyond year ten in determining the terminal values, which is considered reasonable in 
the context of the long term growth rates for the markets in which each CGU operates. Future cash flows are discounted using 
the consolidated entity’s weighted average cost of capital of 9.6% (2019: 9.3%).

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Rights and licences 

As part of the consolidated entity’s acquisition of the three former ahm dental centres, the consolidated entity received 
preferential provider support from ahm. These rights and licenses relate to ahm marketing rights at each Pacific Smiles dental 
centre with 9 amortisation periods remaining as at balance date.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in proportion to 
the number of shares held. 

At shareholders’ meetings, each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one 
vote on a show of hands.

Capital risk management

58

The consolidated entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that 
it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, maintain sufficient financial flexibility to 
pursue its growth objectives, and maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The consolidated entity 
monitors its working capital continually and manages it within a Board approved finance facility. Debt covenants are consistently 
achieved and monitored monthly.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the balance sheet, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings 
less cash and cash equivalents.

Dividend reinvestment plan

The consolidated entity’s dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) applied to the fully franked interim dividend of 2.40 cents per share 
announced on 20 February 2020. The DRP allowed eligible shareholders to reinvest all or part of their dividend payments into 
Pacific Smiles shares. The price at which shares are allocated under the DRP is the daily volume weighted average market 
price of the company’s shares sold in the ordinary course of trading on the ASX over a period of 5 days beginning on 20 April 
2020. Shares allocated under the DRP rank equally with the company’s existing fully paid ordinary shares. The DRP resulted in 
shareholders electing to receive an additional 1,522,155 shares in total, priced at $1.716 million. 

There were no dividends declared but not recognised at the of the financial year. [TBC]

The consolidated amount includes franking credits that would be available to the parent entity if distributed profits of subsidiaries 
were paid as dividends.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Note 28. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives

The consolidated entity’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (interest rate risk), credit risk and 
liquidity risk. 

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework, and is supported 
by the Board Audit and Risk Management Committee. Senior management develops and monitors risk management policy, 
and reports regularly to the Directors on issues and compliance matters. Risk management principles and systems are 
reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the consolidated entity’s activities.

The consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments during the 2020 and 2019 financials years comprised bank and other 
loans, and cash. The main purpose of these instruments has been to raise finance for the consolidated entity’s operations and 
investments. The consolidated entity has various other financial instruments such as trade and other debtors and creditors, 
which arise directly from its operations. The consolidated entity does not trade in financial instruments.

Market risk
Interest rate risk

The consolidated entity’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates at the end of the year was minimal, with bank 
debt partially offset by cash balances at 30 June.

Cash balances are held in a combination of short term fixed interest deposit accounts and other cheque and on-call 
accounts which attract variable interest rates. The weighted average interest rate on cash balances at the end of the year 
was 0.25% (2019: 0.67%).

Variable rate bank loans totalling $22,000,000 form part of an ongoing loan facility which was updated during the 2020 
financial year. The overall facility term expires on 30 September 2022. The loans are subject to interest charged at the 
prevailing variable rate payable on each reset date. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at the end of the year 
was 4.11% (2019: 3.82%).

Credit risk

The consolidated entity has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The consolidated entity does not have significant credit 
exposure to any one financial institution or customer. The consolidated entity only transacts with reputable Australian banks 
and its credit risk on trade receivables is not considered significant.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2020Liquidity risk

The consolidated entity’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of 
working capital and bank borrowings. The consolidated entity aims to achieve this flexibility by keeping committed credit lines 
available. Opportunities to raise additional capital from shareholders are also considered where appropriate. 

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows to ensure sufficient liquidity is 
always available to meet liability obligations as they fall due. The Group’s balance sheet shows an excess of current liabilities 
over current assets at balance date of $8.021 million. Liabilities have been classified as current where it is probable that 
they will be settled within twelve months or if there is a contractual obligation that may require settlement within twelve months, 
regardless of how likely settlement under contractual arrangements is judged to be. The Group’s current assets, available 
financing facilities, and ongoing positive operating cash flows continue to be sufficient to satisfy all payment obligations 
within the time-frames required.

Remaining contractual maturities

The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. 
The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on 
which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as 
remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the balance sheet.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing, and it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact 
after the reporting date. There has been no material impact to the consolidated entity’s financial performance or position arising 
from the pandemic from the end of the reporting period to the date of this report. The situation is ongoing and is dependent 
on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, 
quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

Management services agreement with HBF

Pacific Smiles has signed an initial 10-year base term Management Services Agreement (MSA) with Western Australian health 
fund HBF in early July 2020. Under the agreement HBF will build a minimum of 5 HBF Dental (HBFD) clinics across Western 
Australia over the next 18 months. Pacific Smiles will be the exclusive operator of these and any additional HBFD clinics rolled 
out in Western Australia for the term of the MSA.

Pacific Smiles will receive a percentage of revenue from the operations in return for providing comprehensive operational support 
for the design, construction, and all aspects of the clinics’ day to day operations. HBF will be responsible for funding capital 
expenditure and in-clinic operating costs. Pacific Smiles does not expect the arrangement to be material to earnings within the 
first year of operation.

Resignation of director

Dr Alex Abrahams has resigned as Non-executive Director on 23 July 2020.

Other events

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect 
the consolidated entity’s operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future 
financial years.

The total 9,301,000 performance rights on issue are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they 
are contingently issuable ordinary shares and conditions were not satisfied at 30 June 2020. These performance rights could 
potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

Note 38. Share-based payments
Long term incentive plan overview

The consolidated entity has established a long term incentive plan (LTI) to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of 
senior management. The LTI plan is designed to align the interests of senior management more closely with the interests of 
shareholders by providing an opportunity for senior management to receive an equity interest in the consolidated entity through 
the granting of performance rights.

Performance rights have been issued to the Chief Executive Officer and selected senior managers, at the absolute discretion of 
the Board, pursuant to the LTI plan in financial years 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

The performance rights will vest after a set term (the performance period), and are conditional on the achievement of relevant 
performance and service conditions. Vesting of the performance rights for the years 2018, 2017, and 2016 will be subject to:

•  satisfaction of earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdles for a four year performance period. The number of performance 

rights vesting will be determined on a sliding scale from nil vesting for an EPS compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 
15.0% per annum or less and 100% vesting for an EPS CAGR of 25.0% per annum; and

•  the participant remaining employed by Pacific Smiles Group, or its subsidiaries over a four year period through to the vesting 

date, subject to certain ‘good leaver’ exemptions.

Vesting of the performance rights for the years 2020 and 2019 will be subject to:

•  satisfaction of EPS performance hurdles for a four year performance period. The number of performance rights vesting will 
be determined on a sliding scale from nil vesting for an EPS CAGR of 10.0% per annum or less and 100% vesting for an 
EPS CAGR of 25.0% per annum; and

66

•  the participant remaining employed by Pacific Smiles Group, or its subsidiaries over a four year period through to the vesting 

period, subject to certain ‘good leaver’ exemptions.

Performance rights that do not vest on the relevant vesting date will lapse. Performance rights will also lapse if total shareholder 
return does not reach a minimum threshold over the relevant performance period.

Key Audit Matters 

The Key Audit Matters we identified are: 

• Carrying value of intangible assets  

• Revenue recognition 

• Accounting for leases in accordance with 

AASB 16 Leases 

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our 
professional judgement, were of most significance 
in our audit of the Financial Report of the current 
period.  

These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not 
provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

Carrying value of intangible assets ($10,608,000) 

Refer to Note 17 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The carrying value of intangible assets, 
including the Group’s annual testing of goodwill 
for impairment was identified as a key audit 
matter due to the: 

•

•

Size of the balance; and  

Significant level of judgement required to 
assess the Group’s forecasts and 
discounted future cashflows, including 
higher estimation uncertainty arising from 
the impact of the COVID-19 global 
pandemic.  

We focussed on the significant forward-looking 
assumptions the Group applied in its value in 
use model, including: 

•

Forecast operating cash flows, growth rates 
and terminal growth rates – the Group has 
experienced business disruption in the 
current year as a result of COVID-19, 
including the shutdown of 76 dental centres 
during April 2020. These conditions and 
continued uncertainty increase the 
possibility of goodwill and intangible assets 
being impaired, and the risk of inaccurate 
forecasts or a wider range of possible 
impacts such as government imposed 
restrictions for us to consider. We focused 
on the expected period for return to normal 
operations for the Group when assessing 
the feasibility of the Group’s forecast 
cashflows. 

• Discount rates - these are complicated in 

nature and vary according to the conditions 
and environment the Cash Generating Units 

Our procedures included: 

• We considered the appropriateness of the 

value-in-use method applied by the Group to 
perform its annual impairment testing of 
intangible assets against the requirements of 
the relevant accounting standards. We: 

-

-

-

-

Assessed the Group’s underlying 
methodology and documentation for the 
allocation of corporate costs to the 
forecast cash flows in the value in use 
model for consistency with our 
understanding of the business and the 
criteria in the accounting standards; 

Assessed the Group’s determination of its 
CGUs based on our understanding of the 
operations of the Group’s business 
including the impact of the 5 new centres 
opened during the financial year and how 
independent cash inflows were 
generated, against the requirements of 
the relevant accounting standards;  

Assessed the Group’s allocation of 
corporate assets to CGUs for 
reasonableness and consistency based on 
the requirements of the accounting 
standards;  

Assessed the Group’s determination of 
CGU assets for consistency with the 
assumptions used in the forecast cash 
flows and the requirements of the 
accounting standards; 

70

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Independent Auditor’s Report  
(CGUs) are subject to from time to time, 
and the models approach to incorporating 
risks into the cash flows or discount rates. 
The Group’s modelling is sensitive to 
changes in the discount rate.   

Complex modelling, particularly those 
containing highly judgemental allocations of 
corporate assets and costs to CGUs, using 
forward-looking assumptions, tend to be prone 
to greater risk for potential bias, error and 
inconsistent application. These conditions 
necessitate additional scrutiny by us.  

The Group has a large number of individual 
dental centre locations, which includes 5 new 
centres opened during the financial year, 
necessitating our consideration of the Group’s 
determination of Cash Generating Units (CGUs), 
based on the smallest group of assets to 
generate largely independent cash inflows. 

-

-

-

Compared forecast cash flows in the
model to Board approved forecasts;

Checked the consistency of the growth
rates to the Group's forecasts and our
experience regarding the COVID-19
economic environment in which it
operates; and

Assessed the accuracy of previous Group
forecasts to inform our evaluation of
forecasts incorporated in the model.

• We considered the sensitivity of the model by
varying key assumptions, such as forecast
growth rates, terminal growth rates and
discount rates, within a reasonably possible
range, to identify those CGUs at higher risk of
impairment and to focus our further
procedures;

• Working with our valuation specialists we:

-

-

-

Developed a discount rate range using
publicly available market data for
comparable entities, adjusted by risk
factors based on the size and location of
the Group’s CGUs;

Assessed the integrity of the model used,
including the accuracy of the underlying
calculation formulas; and

Challenged the Group's significant
forecast cash flows and growth
assumptions in light of the uncertainty of
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.  We
compared forecast growth rates and
terminal growth rates to published studies
of industry trends and expectations, and
considered differences for the Group's
operations. We used our knowledge of
the Group, its past performance, business
and customers, and our industry
experience.

• We assessed the disclosures in the financial
report using our understanding obtained from
our testing and against the requirements of
the relevant accounting standards.

71

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Revenue recognition  ($120,055,000) 

Refer to Note 5 to the Financial Report. 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

A substantial amount of the Group’s revenue 
relates to revenue from the rendering of 
services, being service fees charged to dentists 
who practice using the Group’s dental 
surgeries. 

Service fees represent the net amount the 
Group is entitled to after paying the dentists a 
share of total patient billings (dentist payments). 
Dentist payments are based on percentages 
agreed with each dentist per underlying Service 
Facility Agreements (agreed dentist 
percentages) which are variable based on the 
following drivers: 

• Monthly total patient billings; and

• Actual time spent by the dentists at the

Group’s dental surgeries for the month per
timesheet reports.

We focused on revenue recognition of service 
fees as a key audit matter due to the significant 
audit effort to test the: 

•

• High volume of transactions recorded as
revenue and significant value of revenue
recognised;

•

•

Largely manual nature of the Group’s
calculation of dentist payments and
therefore service fee revenue. This
increases the risk of potential error and
inconsistent application due to the number
of different agreed dentist percentages and
drivers, in particular around the last month
of the year; and

The opening of 5 new dental centres during
the current year, which necessitated us to
assess the new Service Facility
Agreements and increased our audit effort
in this key area.

72

Our procedures included: 

• We evaluated the appropriateness of the

Group’s revenue recognition policies against
the requirements of the accounting standard;

• We tested key controls in the services fee
revenue recognition process, including:

- Management review and approval of
monthly bank account reconciliations;

- Management’s check of the monthly total

patient billings, monthly timesheet
reports, and agreed dentist percentages
used by the Group in the monthly dentist
payment calculations; and

- Management’s dual authorisation of

dentist payments and the monthly dentist
payment calculations.

For a sample of service fees recognised
throughout the financial year, we agreed the
underlying inputs from the dentist fee
calculation to the monthly total patient billings
derived from the Group’s bank statements,
and the Group’s dentists’ monthly timesheet
reports to check the consistency of the agreed
dentist percentages to the underlying Service
Facility Agreements;

• We assessed service fees recognised in the
last month of the financial year by multiplying
the weighted average agreed dentist
percentages based on the relevant underlying
Service Facility Agreements and total patient
billings from the Group’s bank statements for
the month; and

• We checked total patient billings and dentist
payments throughout the year to the Group’s
bank statements.  We compared service fees
recognised during the year, to the total patient
billings received less dentist payments made
by the Group.

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Accounting for leases using AASB 16 Leases 
(“AASB 16”) is a key audit matter as it is 
inherently complex and specific and 
individualised lease-features drive different 
accounting outcomes, increasing the need for 
interpretation, judgement and audit effort. We 
focused on: 

•

First time adoption – the Group was
required to determine interpretations for
AASB 16 new and complex accounting
requirements for the first time in the year,
including new accounting policies.
Interpreting an accounting standard is more
challenging in its first year of existence. The
Group also had to build new processes to
apply the requirements, which we had not
tested before;

• High volume of leases – the Group has a
high volume of individualised lease
agreements used to estimate the lease
liability, right-of-use asset, deferred tax
asset balances and adjustment to opening
retained earnings. A focus for us was the
completeness of the lease population and
the accuracy of multiple and varied inputs
which may drive different accounting
outcomes, including key terms of the lease
agreements, such as key dates, fixed and
variable rent payments, incentives, renewal
options, and make good obligations;

• Complex modelling process - the Group
developed an AASB 16 lease calculation
model, which is complex, and therefore
prone to greater risk for potential bias, error
and inconsistent application; and

• Relative magnitude – the size of balances
has a significant financial impact on the
Group’s financial position and performance.

The most significant areas of judgement we 
focused on was in assessing the Group’s: 

•

Incremental borrowing rates used – these
are meant to reflect the Group's entity

Our procedures included: 

• We considered the appropriateness of the

Group’s new accounting policies against the
requirements of the accounting standard and
our understanding of the business;

• We obtained an understanding of the Group’s
new processes and IT systems used to
calculate the lease liability, right-of-use asset,
deferred tax asset, depreciation and interest
expense and retained earnings adjustment;

• We assessed the completeness of the

Group’s leases taking into consideration the
selected transition approach and practical
expedients upon adoption by the Group by:

-

-

-

-

-

Inquiring with the Group to understand its
process to compile the Group’s listing of
leases;

Inspecting a sample of lease agreements
entered into by the Group and comparing
these to the Group’s listing of leases;

Checking the Group’s listing of leases to
the items included in the operating lease
commitments disclosure in the prior
year’s financial report;

Inspecting non-lease agreements
including Service Facility Agreements for
the existence of embedded leases; and

Inspecting relevant expense accounts for
routine payments during the year to
identify the existence of leases not
included in the Group’s listing of leases.

• We compared the Group’s inputs in the AASB
16 lease calculation model, such as, key dates,
fixed and variable rent payments, incentives,
renewal options, and make good obligations,
for consistency to the relevant terms of a
sample of underlying source documents
including signed lease agreements and
lessor’s invoices. We also compared the index
used by the Group in computing the variable

lease term. The Group’s AASB 16 lease 
calculation model is sensitive to changes in 
the incremental borrowing rates; and 

•

Lease terms where leases have renewal
options – assessing the probability of
exercising the renewal options to
determine each lease term impacts the
measurement of the lease, therefore is
critical to the accuracy of the accounting;

assessing this key audit matter along with our 
debt advisory specialists. 

rent payments to the Australian consumer 
price index; 

• We assessed the Group’s determination of
lease terms based on the probability of the
Group exercising the lease renewal options.
We compared key management decisions for
consistency to board approved plans,
strategies and past practices;

• We considered the sensitivity of the Group’s
AASB 16 lease calculation model by varying
the incremental borrowing rate, within a
reasonably possible range. We did this to
identify the risk of bias or inconsistency in
application and to focus our further
procedures;

• Working together with our debt advisory

specialists, we independently developed a
series of point estimates for the incremental
borrowing rates applied to the leases using the
S&P Healthcare indicative credit rating and
corporate yield curve, adjusted by risk factors
specific to the Group, the industry it operates
in, and each lease term. We compared it to
the incremental borrowing rates applied by the
Group;

• We assessed the integrity of the Group’s
AASB 16 lease calculation model used,
including the accuracy of the underlying
calculation formulas. For a sample of leases,
we recalculated the amount of lease liability,
right-of-use asset, deferred tax asset,
depreciation, interest expense and retained
earnings adjustment relevant to this financial
year and compared our recalculated amounts
against the amounts recorded by the Group;
and

• We assessed the disclosures in the financial
report using our understanding obtained from
our testing and against the requirements of
the accounting standard.

The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report was the Operational 
overview and insights, Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report, the Shareholder Information, and 
the Corporate Directory.  

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not 
and will not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception 
of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. 

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other 
Information. In doing so, we 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. 

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other 
Information, and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained 
prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001;

•

•

implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives
a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

assessing Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of

do so.

75

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | PACIFIC SMILES Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is: 

•

•

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the 
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on 
the basis of the Financial Report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: 
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our 
Auditor’s Report.
