Zita Peach

In FY21, PSQ reached its 
highest ever share price 
of $2.98 and delivered 
an interim dividend of 
2.4 cents per share. For the 
full year the business saw 
an EBITDA improvement 
of 40.8% (including 
JobKeeper) versus last year, 
while still investing and 
opening 15 new centres.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES On behalf of PSG, Australia’s fastest growing 
Dentist Services Organisation, I would like to thank 
the dentists who choose to use our service and 
facilities and provide such high quality care to 
patients. Thank you to our dedicated employees, 
fellow Directors, and the members of the Executive 
Leadership Team for their agility and focus this year 
which enabled a solid performance despite the 
challenges. Phil McKenzie as Managing Director 
drove a year of growth for the business, only 
achievable by facilitating an agile environment. 
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Phil 
for his resilient leadership. 

Pacific Smiles’ investment in growth was supported 
by more new patients and more new centres opened 
than ever before, delivering 100 new dental chairs 
into the Australian market. These strong results 
enabled a successful capital raise of $15.1 million 
to accelerate growth opportunities and increase 
liquidity. A strong balance sheet and financial 
flexibility underpins Pacific Smiles continued capital 
commitment to growth when conditions normalise 
in FY22, seeing us continue to be Australia’s fastest 
growing Dentist Services Organisation.

No final dividend was declared as we look to 
maximise our financial flexibility for when trading 
conditions normalise. 

Thank you to our shareholders for your continued 
support.

Zita Peach
Chairperson

The result Pacific Smiles Group achieved this 
year, notwithstanding the significant impact of 
the continued COVID-19 pandemic, indicates a 
successful growth strategy delivered with operational 
excellence to support practicing dentists. All the 
while trading through over 10 lockdowns and 
under health guidelines, adhering to best practice 
COVID procedures.

Dr Scott Kalniz joined the Board as a Non-Executive 
Director this year adding his extensive international 
clinical experience as well as deep commercial 
knowledge. He has been a part of the growth of 
several US Dentist Service Organisations, also founding 
one that grew to a network of over 110 centres. 
Having held executive roles in two significant US 
Dentist Services Organisations, Dr Kalniz will harness 
this knowledge to facilitate a focus on governance, 
innovation and modern dental insights.

In FY21, PSQ reached its highest ever share price 
of $2.98 and delivered an interim dividend of 
2.4 cents per share. For the full year the business 
saw an EBITDA improvement of 40.8% (including 
JobKeeper) versus last year, while still investing and 
opening 15 new centres. The dentists who chose 
to practice with Pacific Smiles Group delivered 
nearly one million appointments, which, despite 
the trying conditions is a record for the Group. 
Same centre growth combined with the expansion of 
the network delivered $240.8 million in patient fees 
and $33.1 million in underlying EBITDA.

Pacific Smiles Group’s strong relationship with the 
Australian Dental Association added confidence 
in this challenging period, as both organisations 
partnered through the varying levels of practice 
restrictions, giving practitioners access to additional 
resources and support. Another important PSG 
partnership saw the opening of three of the minimum 
five HBF Dental Centres agreed to be opened in the 
first 18 months under the Management Services 
Agreement. This supports HBF’s vision to diversify 
the HBF business and ensure HBF is there for its 
members in the moments that matter. Additionally, 
the seventeenth consecutive year of operating nib 
Dental Centres for the nib Health Fund is a testament 
to the working relationship of the two brands.

Phil McKenzie 

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

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES We will continue to make decisions with an 
eye to long-term value creation, consistent 
with our known success factors and 
capitalising on technological innovations. 

Funds remain strong but also expanding, with 
the launch of three new HBF Dental Centres in 
Western Australia as part of the Managed Services 
Agreement with HBF.

In FY2021, Pacific Smiles delivered nearly one million 
patient appointments with a patient net promoter 
score of greater than 80. We opened 15 new 
Pacific Smiles Dental Centres. In New South Wales 
we opened new centres in Glendale, Wollongong, 
Stockland Greenhills, Lane Cove, Raymond Terrace, 
Bondi Junction, Ballina, Lismore, Bass Hill, Hurstville 
and Ashfield. We also opened new centres in Victoria 
Point, Cleveland and Newstead in Queensland, as 
well as one new centre in Victoria at Taylors Lakes. 
The number of centres that dentists can now 
choose to practice from, under the PSG banner, is 
over 110 and growing, as we accelerate across the 
Australian market. This growth was achieved despite 
restrictions and various lockdowns that occurred 
in FY2021, and the business also delivered a same 
centre growth of 26%, the 2-year average 10.8%. 
I am so proud of the people who delivered these 
results  and our contribution to improving the oral 
health of all Australians at this time.

As Australia’s fastest growing Dentist Services 
Organisation we have also seen a record number of 
new dentists choose to practice with us. Retaining 
our dental centre and support teams are central 
to building our facilities and supplying services to 
dentists and we are pleased to report retention rates 
of employees above 80%.  Those same employees 
also ensured zero infection control breaches in FY21. 

While expansion provided us with growth 
opportunities so did a focus on continuous 
improvement of both the patient experience and 
service and facilities we provide dentists. In the 
first half of the year, we commenced the roll out 
of 3Shape Trios Scanners across the network to 
improve patient care and education as well as the 
launch of Smiles Care Kiosks to acquire new patients 
and expand the referral opportunities to dentists. 
In the second half we looked at more new patient 
acquisition initiatives with the launch of a Pacific 
Smiles Dental app which utilises AI technology to 
increase people’s understanding of their oral health 
from the comfort of their own home. The focus on 
IT as an enabler for speed was also an opportunity 
to drive improved effectiveness of existing patient 
retention for dentists as well. Automating the 
existing patient communications for improved 
performance made it possible to launch new lifecycle 
communications to patients to help retain them as 
profitably as possible for the business.

Partnerships with landlords, suppliers and health 
funds formed another cornerstone for opportunities 
and our agile response to the unusual conditions 
encountered in FY21. Suppliers like Henry Schein 
grew with us and new relationships commenced 
with Adent in the development of our AI App for new 
patient growth. Our relationships with Health 

We are pleased to announce the appointment of 
Matthew Cordingley to the role of Chief Financial 
Officer, previously Head of Mergers and Acquisitions 
at Healius Limited, an ASX-listed healthcare 
company. Prior to his role at Healius, Matt held 
several senior Mergers and Acquisitions advisory 
roles at leading global investment banks over a 
20-year period, including RBC Capital Markets and 
Morgan Stanley. In turn I would also like to thank 
Allanna Ryan for her considerable contribution over 
the past six years and wish her all the best in her 
new endeavours.

As we continue to grow and invest in top tier talent, 
we are also streamlining the experience for core 
customers, establishing the Professional Services 
team by unifying several departments within the 
organisation to solely focus on the success of our 
core customers the dentists. In July we appointed

Daniel Lawrence to lead this department. Daniel 
comes to us with experience in the health care sector 
having worked in the industry for over 20 years 
and most recently with nib Health Fund for the past 
4 years. As part of this change, Dr Alison Hughes 
has made the decision to formally step down from 
the Executive Leadership Team and focus on 
dentists by supporting dentist education and driving 
clinical excellence. It is incredibly valuable to add 
executives of Daniel and Matt’s calibre to the Pacific 
Smiles leadership team and to retain our founder 
as a considerable influence inside the organisation 
strengthens our legacy as a Dentist Services 
Organisation.

We continue to remain focused that our true purpose 
is to improve the oral health of ALL Australians to 
world’s best. This is the simple yet significant belief 
which all our people align to as a Dentist Services 
Organisation. 

Operational Overview and Insights

The 2021 financial year delivered strong underlying 
EBITDA growth of 40.8% flowing from top line patient 
fee growth of 29.3%, despite some restrictions 
relating to COVID-19 being imposed on some of our 
centres during the financial year.

These results were achieved through a continued 
focus on ensuring practitioners feel respected and 
enabled to treat their patients with the highest quality 
care, utilising the latest technology. That patients feel 
they can trust Pacific Smiles to ensure they receive 
the highest quality care, and that our employees 
know that they matter to Pacific Smiles is at the core 
of what we do.

The 2021 financial year also saw Pacific Smiles enter 
a new relationship with HBF to commission and 
operate dental centres on their behalf for at least 
the next 10 years. Although this is a relatively new 
collaboration, there are already three HBF Dental

Centres open in Western Australia being managed by 
Pacific Smiles and this provides another channel for 
both businesses to grow in the future.

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

We will continue to make decisions with an eye to 
long-term value creation, consistent with our known 
success factors and capitalising on technology 
innovations. The dedication and discipline of the 
entire team, focused equally on execution today 
and tomorrow’s performance objectives, will ensure 
prosperity.

Statutory Results
Statutory net profit after tax for the year was 
$12.9 million. This result is up on the 2020 statutory 
net profit after tax of $6.4 million, an increase of 
102.9%. The statutory results for the year were 
impacted by COVID-19 and government mandated 
restrictions on dental services. Further to this, we 
saw strong business performance in the first half of 
the financial year as centres returned from restrictions 
imposed late in financial year 2020. Year on year 

growth was significantly higher than we would 
normally expect in the second half of the financial 
year as we were comparing to operating results 
achieved during late financial year 2020, which was 
impacted by restrictions. There are several underlying 
adjustments for both FY2021 and FY2020, and these 
are detailed in the table below.

The operational overview and insights discussions 
will focus on the underlying results for FY2021 and 
the comparative period, excluding the impacts of 
AASB 16. Removing these impacts enhances the 
year-on-year performance comparisons.

Underlying Results
Underlying EBITDA, exclusive of the impacts of AASB 
16, increased by 40.8% to $33.1 million compared 
with the previous financial year.

Group revenue was $153.2 million, up by 27.0% 
over the previous financial year. This revenue consists 
mainly of 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. This enables dentists 
to focus on their patients and offer exceptional 
patient care.

Revenue growth has been achieved through a 
combination of improved performance in our 
existing dental centres, the opening of new dental 
centres and adding capacity (new chairs in vacant 
surgeries or centre expansion) where patient demand 
has provided the opportunity to do so. Patient 
fees increased 29.3% over the previous year to 
$240.8 million due to same centre fee growth of 
26.0%, combined with the full year effect from new 
centres opened in 2020 and part-year impact of 
new centre openings in 2021. The 2021 new centre 
openings have performed in line with expectations 
and like the centres opened in prior years, will be 
strong contributors to long-term growth and profit 
margins over time.

Underlying NPAT increased by 72.8% to $14.0 million 
compared to $8.1 million from the prior year.

Depreciation costs (excluding the impact of 
AASB 16) totalled $12.0 million – an increase 
of $1.0 million from the prior period. JobKeeper 
provided an estimated net benefit of $3.1 million in 
FY2021, net of COVID-19 related EBITDA impacts.

Financial Position
Pacific Smiles has a strong focus on cash 
management. Our year end net cash is $9.9 million, 
drawn from free cashflow due to strong performance 
and a capital raise in March 2021. The debt drawn 
amount decreased by $21.0 million, to $1.0 million 
in the current year.

In March 2021 Pacific Smiles successfully 
completed a capital raising of $15.1 million. This 
strengthened the Company’s financial flexibility and 
resilience in pursuing its new centre rollout program 
objective. The Company will continually evaluate 
the appropriateness of the rate of opening new 
centres considering recent and ongoing COVID-19 
transmission in the community and attendant 
restrictions that have been put in place, impacting 
the operations of our centres.

Capital expenditure for the year was higher at 
$25.7 million (FY2020: $10.1 million), reflecting an 
increase in new centre and chair commissionings 
and investment in technology. We invested in 15 new 
centres, 35 additional chairs in existing centres, as 
well as 3Shape Trios Scanners allowing dentists to 
practice with the latest technologies, saving them 
time, and providing a more accurate impression to 
work with, while also improving the patient experience 
and comfort.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES CEO’s Report

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 (AHPRA) latest dental service data 
reported that nearly 43 million dental services 
per annum were funded by health funds as at 
March 2021, with health funds paying more than 
$2.5 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 by the Australian 
Government has decreased from 16.3% 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 
most 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 18,527 in March 2021, up by 2.0% from the 
prior year. The demographic shift in the dental 
workforce continues with females making up 53.3% 
of registered dentists, increasing by 0.5% from the 
year earlier.

Risk Management
Pacific Smiles is subject to various risk factors, both 
business – specific and of a general nature. Pacific 
Smiles has not identified any specific, material 
exposure to its economic, social or environmental 
sustainability over the long term.

Pacific Smiles has established policies and structures 
for oversight and management of material business 
risks. Further information regarding how Pacific 
Smiles recognises and manages risks can be 
sourced from our Corporate Governance Statement 
and related governance policies on our website.

The risk areas and mitigating factors have been 
identified by Pacific Smiles are located on page 11.

Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 endures.

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 five 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 $1,716,000.

The DRP did not apply to the fully franked interim dividend of 2.4 cents per share announced on 
16 February 2021.

Due to the uncertain outlook due to the impact of rolling COVID-19 restrictions and our focus on having 
maximum financial flexibility to re-accelerate our rollout of new centres when the environment normalises, 
the Company has not declared a final dividend. The Company plans to resume dividend distribution following 
the interim results, assuming trading conditions have normalised at that time.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES 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
Capital raising
In March 2021, the consolidated entity completed a capital raising to accelerate growth opportunities and 
broaden its investor base and increase liquidity. The capital raising included an underwritten placement of 
new shares and a non-underwritten share purchase plan, which resulted in a combined 6,066,388 new 
shares being issued, generating $15,148,000 in capital. Proceeds of the placement will be used to support 
organisational preparations for an acceleration of the rate of dental centre rollout, allowing the consolidated 
entity to capitalise on the strong opportunity to grow the network, as well as for general working capital.

Discontinued operation of Everything Dentures Pty Limited
In January 2021, the consolidated entity discontinued the operation of Everything Dentures Pty Limited. 
Impairment losses of the associated assets were recognised during the financial year. The sale of the 
remaining assets is expected during the next financial year and they were presented as held for sale.

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

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
COVID-19 pandemic
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, and it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact 
after the reporting date. Whilst short-term financial performance has been impacted by the pandemic and 
associated Government-imposed measures, these performance impacts are not material to Pacific Smiles’ 
financial position as at 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.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 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 detail.

Environmental regulation

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

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES 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 has 
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
Fees and payments to Non- Executive Directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. 
Non- Executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the 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.

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.

19

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES Directors’ Report
Continued

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 2021, the 
current Directors’ fees pool is an aggregate sum of $800,000. The base fee payable to the Chairperson is 
$125,000 per annum, and the base fee payable to other Non- Executive Directors is $75,000 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.

The executive STI plan performance criteria are summarised below:

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES 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 an 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 2017 to 2021.

Vesting of the performance rights on issue for the years 2019, 2018 and 2017 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 2021 and 2020 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 20% 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.

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.

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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

Note 1. Corporate information

The consolidated financial statements cover Pacific Smiles Group Limited as a consolidated entity consisting 
of Pacific Smiles Group Limited (the ‘Company’) 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 
17 August 2021. 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 consolidated 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.

New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are 
relevant to the consolidated entity are:
 • AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business
 • AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material
 • AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual 

Framework

 • AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS 

Standards Not Yet Issued in Australia

 • AASB 2020-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions

33

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Continued

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.

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 2021 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.

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.

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.

34

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES 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 revenue for 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 the performance obligation is satisfied.

Management services fees
The consolidated entity provides comprehensive operational support to HBF Dental (HBFD) Centres across 
Western Australia. Revenue is recognised as performance obligation is performed and service is provided 
to HBFD.

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

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be 
applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or 
substantively enacted, except for:
 • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or 
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects 
neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or

 • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint 

ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference 
will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

The carrying amounts 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 assets.

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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Continued

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, and 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
Finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a ‘first in first out’ basis. 
Cost comprises 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.

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.

36

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES 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, or 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 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  10-20 years 
Plant and equipment 

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.

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.

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.

37

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Continued

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 (CGUs) 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 categories.

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
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 12 months after the reporting period.

Lease liabilities
As a lessee:

38

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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES Rent concessions:

The consolidated entity has applied the practical expedient to not assess rent concessions affecting payments 
due before 30 June 2021 that have 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 the 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.

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.

39

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Continued

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.

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 12 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.

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.

40

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES 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.

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

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of 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 payments 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 2021. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations.

42

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | 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 fair value less cost of disposal, estimated using discounted cash flow. 
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
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.

43

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Continued

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 is 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 fair value less cost of disposal, 
estimated using discounted cash flow. The fair value measurement was categorised as a Level 3 fair value.

Based on the inputs in the valuation technique used, 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 five-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. 
The cash flow projections for years one to five are based on key assumptions including dentist numbers, 
number of operating chairs, practitioner hours, patient demand and associated costs.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PACIFIC SMILES A long-term growth rate of 2.5% is used beyond year five 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 10.00% (2020: 9.6%).

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 licences relate to AHM marketing rights at 
each Pacific Smiles dental centre with nine amortisation periods remaining as at balance date.

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

The profits reserve represents current year profits transferred to a reserve to preserve the characteristic as a 
profit so as to quarantine from being appropriated against accumulated losses arising from the adoption of 
AASB 16. Such profits are available to enable payment of franked dividends in the future should the Directors 
declare so by resolution.

Note 27. Equity – dividends

Dividends
Dividends paid during the financial year were as follows:

Final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2020 of nil cents (2019: 3.50 cents) 
per ordinary share, fully franked

Interim dividend for the year ended 30 June 2021 of 2.40 cents  
(2020: 2.40 cents) per ordinary share, fully franked

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

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

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 2021 and 2020 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 0.13% (2020: 0.25%).

Variable rate bank loans drawn of $1,000,000 (2020: $22,000,000) form part of an ongoing loan facility which 
was updated during the 2021 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% (2020: 4.11%).

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.

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 $17.6 million. Liabilities have been 
classified as current where it is probable that they will be settled within 12 months or if there is a contractual 
obligation that may require settlement within 12 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 maturities 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.

Note 35. Events after the reporting period

COVID-19 pandemic
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, and it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact 
after the reporting date. Whilst short-term financial performance has been impacted by the pandemic and 
associated Government-imposed measures, these performance impacts are not material to Pacific Smiles’ 
financial position as at 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.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 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.

Performance rights
Performance rights granted to employees under the consolidated entity’s long-term incentive plan are 
considered to be potential ordinary shares and are only included in the determination of diluted earnings 
per share to the extent to which they are dilutive. From 9,183,430 performance rights on issue, a total of 
5,406,000 performance rights are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are 
contingently issuable ordinary shares and the conditions for these rights to be satisfied are probable as at 
30 June 2021. The remaining 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 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

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 2019, 2018 and 2017:
 • 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 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.

Vesting of the performance rights for the years 2021 and 2020 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% per annum or 
less and 100% vesting for an EPS CAGR of 20% per annum; and

 • 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 

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 ($10,145,000) 

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 continuing impact of the COVID-19 
global pandemic. 

We focused on the significant forward-looking 
assumptions the Group applied in its fair value 
less cost of disposal 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, at 
both the start and end of the financial year. 
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 
(CGUs) are subject to from time to time, 

Our procedures included: 

  We considered the appropriateness of the fair 
value less cost of disposal 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 fair value less 
cost of disposal 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 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;

Independent Auditor’s Report
Continued

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 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.

Revenue recognition ($153,175,000) 

Refer to Note 5 to the Financial Report. 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

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; 

For a sample of service fees recognised in the 
last fortnight of the financial year and first 
fortnight of the next 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; 

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 centres. 

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 centres 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 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. 

During the year, the Group entered into a 
contract generating management service fees 
revenue. We focused on recognition of 
management service fees revenue due to the 
complexity of the contractual arrangement and 
the judgement required in determining the 
criteria for revenue recognition. 

  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. 

For a sample of management fees revenue 
recognised during the year, we assessed 
whether the criteria for revenue recognition 
had been met.

Other Information 

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Pacific Smiles Group Limited’s annual 
reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors 
are responsible for the Other Information. 

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 

The Directors are responsible for: 

  preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian 

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 
the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, 
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they 
either intend to liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is: 

 

 

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.
