“Our vision to enrich
lives through sustainable
packaging remains core
to our business. The
Group has a significant
sustainability operation
that enables ourselves and
our customers to reduce
environmental impacts.”
Raphael Geminder Chairman
Dear Shareholder
Welcome to Pact Group’s FY16 Annual
Report.
Overview
I am delighted that FY16 has been
another highly successful year for the
business.
Our broad and diversified enterprise
continues to demonstrate the defensive,
resilient and stable nature of the sector
we serve and we continue to grow and
solidify our competitive moat. We have a
well-defined three pillar growth strategy
that comprises organic growth, ongoing
efficiency and continued Mergers and
Acquisitions (M&A).
The Group has delivered growth in
sales, profit, cash flow and dividends
every year since listing. During FY16 the
Group remained focussed on its high
performance culture, its commitment
to efficiency and our disciplined M&A
strategy, which saw four acquisitions
completed during the year.
Our focus on organic growth coupled
with a strategic emphasis on innovation
is starting to deliver results. A much
improved focus on customer satisfaction
and quality, measured by Net Promoter
Score is being rolled out to the Group,
so that we can measure in a broader
sense what is going on with our
customers. A relentless focus on
reducing our cost base and improving
efficiency, remains a key priority for
the management team. This is not a
new theme, but remains a critical focus
for the Group and is fundamental to
any manufacturing enterprise. Our
diversification into materials handling
and co-manufacturing packaging has
developed new opportunities to grow in
near adjacencies.
We have continued to invest in the latest
technology to support our customers so
that they can deliver innovative products
and solutions. Our innovation culture
has once again been recognised by the
Australian Financial Review in their list
of Australia’s Top 50 Most Innovative
Companies, the only packaging company
to achieve this recognition this year and
proudly for four consecutive years.
Our vision to enrich lives through
sustainable packaging remains core
to our business. The Group has a
significant sustainability operation
that enables us and our customers to
reduce environmental impacts. We were
also delighted that our recycled and
recyclable Moisturelock meat tray won a
prestigious Green Ribbon Award from the
New Zealand Ministry of the Environment
in 2016.
Board Changes
I would like to take this opportunity
to highlight changes to your Board of
Directors since our last annual report. In
December 2015 we welcomed Malcolm
Bundey as our new Managing Director
and Chief Executive Officer. Mal, who
was formerly President and CEO of
Graham Packaging, a US$3 billion global
rigid packaging company, has brought
with him a wealth of experience in our
industry and has made an immediate and
positive impact on the business. In April
2016 our previous Managing Director
and CEO Brian Cridland retired. I want
to pay tribute to Brian who successfully
managed the Group from inception
in 2002, through its successful listing
in 2013 and who made an enormous
contribution to making Pact the
successful business it is today. In October
2015 we were also delighted to announce
the appointment of Ray Horsburgh
AM as a Non-Executive Director. Ray
has extensive management and Board
experience in manufacturing and in M&A.
Ray's appointment complements the
Board’s diverse mix of skills.
Dividends
The Board of Directors has declared a
final dividend of 11.0 cps, franked to
65%, up 10.0% on the prior year. Total
dividends declared for the year were
21.0 cps, up 7.7% on the prior year, and
in line with Group’s previously stated
payout range of 65%-75% of NPAT before
significant items.
On behalf of the Board I thank all
shareholders for their continued support
as well as our customers, suppliers
and other stakeholders. I would also
like to acknowledge the contribution of
our dedicated management team and
employees who have helped grow and
transform the business.
I remain confident that together we can
continue the journey to grow and reward
all of our stakeholders.

“Since joining Pact I have been
extremely impressed by the
Group’s capabilities, particularly
in meeting the challenges of
the external environment.”
Malcolm Bundey Managing Director and CEO
Dear Shareholder
I am very pleased to be able to report to
you a strong set of results for FY16.
Strong Financial Performance
The Group has reported growth in all
key financial metrics in the financial year.
Sales revenue grew by an impressive
10.6% and EBIT before significant items
grew by 5.5%. NPAT before significant
items grew by a very pleasing 10.7% to
$94.3 million.
This growth was delivered by a
combination of acquisition benefits
and efficiency savings, which more than
offset the impact of lower underlying
sales volumes in some sectors. The
business delivered a strong cashflow
performance, generating cash to fund
our growth opportunities and to reward
shareholders, whilst maintaining a robust
balance sheet. Our financing metrics
remained well within targeted levels.
Pact Australia sales revenue increased
15.5% to $1,027.9 million with EBIT
growing 10.8% to $95.6 million. This
result benefitted from the acquisitions
of Jalco and other smaller acquisitions
completed during the year as well as
the continued high performance culture
in the business, driving efficiency and
improving underlying margins. These
benefits more than offset the impact
of some subdued underlying market
conditions, costs of management
transitions and a delayed facility start-up.
Pact International sales revenue was
down 1.6% to $353.4 million, but EBIT
increased 1.1% to $66.8 million with
the diversification of the business and
efficiency benefits delivering increased
earnings and improved margins despite
challenges in the dairy and industrial
sectors.
These results were delivered against
a backdrop of economic and market
challenges, once again demonstrating the
resilience of the business, the benefits
of diversification and management’s
relentless focus on efficiency and cash
management.
Focused on Growth
Our growth strategy remains focused on
generating long-term shareholder value
through:
• organic growth;
• efficiency; and
• disciplined M&A.
This year has been an exciting period of
growth for the Group which has seen us
generate opportunities across each of
these core growth pillars.
Our organic growth strategy has
been bolstered by an organisational
restructure, the introduction of a new
sales pipeline process and the contract
to establish a crate pooling business for a
key customer.
Our focus on operational excellence has
seen us complete the Efficiency Program
announced in 2015, delivering savings as
committed, and into the future seeking
further efficiency gains will be realised
through the implementation of lean
manufacturing techniques across our
manufacturing footprint.
Four acquisitions were also completed
in FY16, expanding our product and
customer portfolio. We also completed
the acquisition of the New Zealand
crate pooling business, The Fruit Case
Company, in July 2016.
Our People
Critical to the continued success of
the business are our people. Our core
value is that all employees “walk in our
customers' shoes to serve them better”
and we are committed to providing a
safe, sustainable, honest and respectful
working environment. Through our
Applause reward and recognition
program we also encourage employees
from across all areas of the business to
submit ideas for innovation and process
improvement – no idea is too big or
too small!
The safety of our people remains a
top priority and we continue to build
awareness and engagement through our
Towards Zero Harm campaign and various
other programs. Furthermore we expect
a positive impact on workplace health
and safety as an outcome of our ongoing
focus on lean manufacturing.
Outlook
The Group is strategically well positioned
for the future, with solid foundations,
a robust balance sheet and clear
opportunities for growth. We remain
confident that our strategy will drive
further growth and shareholder returns
in FY17. Our outlook for the FY17 is that
we expect to achieve higher revenue
and earnings (before significant items),
subject to global economic conditions.
Since joining Pact I have been extremely
impressed by the Group’s capabilities,
particularly in meeting the challenges of
the external environment. I would like
to take this opportunity to thank our
talented and committed people for their
outstanding performance during the
year that has contributed to the FY16
result and will help drive the business to
continued success in the future. I would
also like to acknowledge and thank the
contribution of our Chairman and the
Board of Directors, for their guidance
and our shareholders, for your continued
support.

Sales Revenue
EBIT (before significant items)
Significant Items
Group sales revenue increased 10.6%
($132.1 million) to $1,381.3 million,
compared to the pcp, with growth from
acquisitions delivering $203 million in
revenue. Contributions from acquisitions
made during the period included:
•
Jalco – a contract manufacturing,
filling and packing business based
in New South Wales, acquired in
September 2015;
• Stowers Containment Solutions –
a New Zealand based distributor
of containment solutions, acquired
February 2016;
• Power Plastics – a New South Wales
based manufacturer of rigid plastic
containers, acquired in March 2016;
and
• Ecopolymers – a plastics recycler
based in Queensland, acquired in
May 2016.
In addition, the full year impact of
acquisitions made in the last financial year
had a positive impact. Sales benefitted
slightly from favourable currency
translation and price increases largely
associated with inflationary impacts.
These benefits were partly offset by lower
underlying net sales volumes, particularly
in the dairy, agricultural and industrial
sectors, generally subdued demand
conditions across most other sectors, and
net contract losses in the period.
The Group reported EBIT (before
significant items) of $162.5 million, up
6.6% ($10.0 million) versus the pcp. EBIT
was favourably impacted by acquisitions
(+$10.3 million), the 2015 Efficiency
Program ($6.6 million) and benefits
delivered through property management,
including property sales ($4.1 million) and
lower lease related costs ($3.2 million).
These benefits were partly offset by the
EBIT impact of lower net sales volumes
(-$9.5 million), and other costs, largely
associated with facility start-up costs in
Australia (-$2.0 million) and Indonesia
(-$0.7 million) and management
transitions in the period (-$1.2 million).
Focus on lowering the Group’s overall
cost of production remains a key priority
and during the year the Efficiency Program
announced in 2015 was substantially
completed. EBIT growth, delivered in
challenging market conditions, once
again demonstrates the resilience
of the business and the benefits of
diversification.
EBIT margins in the underlying business
were improved. Although group margins
declined to 11.8% from 12.2%, this was
primarily due to lower margins in the
acquired businesses. Resin prices, in
Australian dollar terms, were steady and
costs were well controlled.
Pre-tax significant items for the year
were an expense of $11.5 million. This
related to costs associated with the
Efficiency Program announced in 2015
($8.6 million) and acquisition costs ($2.9
million). The pre-tax significant items of
$23.5 million in the prior year also related
to the Efficiency Program ($20.8 million)
and acquisition costs ($2.7 million).
Net Finance Costs
Net financing costs for the period were
$30.5 million. The decrease in financing
costs of $2.5 million compared to the
pcp reflects the beneficial impact of the
refinancing completed in June 2015, the
Securitisation Program, also established
in June 2015, and reductions in market
interest rates.
Income Tax Expense and Significant
Tax Items
The income tax expense for the year
was $37.7 million and represents 28.5%
of net profit before tax and significant
items, broadly in line with the statutory
tax rates payable across the Group’s
main operating locations. This compares
to $34.1 million in the pcp at a similar
effective tax rate.
The significant tax item for the year is
a benefit of $2.2 million relating to the
significant items noted above. In the
prior year the significant tax item was a
benefit of $6.0 million, also relating to the
Efficiency Program and acquisition costs.
Net Profit After Tax
Group net profit after tax attributable
to shareholders for the financial year
was $85.1 million compared to $67.6
million in the pcp. Excluding significant
items, net profit after tax attributable
to shareholders was $94.3 million, an
increase of $9.1 million over the pcp.

Balance Sheet
Net debt at the end of the financial year
was $509.6 million, $69.3 million higher
than the prior corresponding period.
The increase in net debt primarily reflects
funding requirements of $113.9 million
for acquisitions made during the year,
partly offset by the underlying cash
generation of the business.
The Group has retained a robust balance
sheet. At 30 June 2016 gearing (closing
net debt / EBITDA) was 2.3 times, up from
2.1 times in the pcp due to the funding
requirements for acquisitions. This
remains well within management’s
target range of less than three times.
Total debt facilities comprise of a A$590.0
million facility and a NZ$180.0 million
facility, each equally split between
tranches maturing in July 2018 and
July 2020. Average tenor is three years.
Unused facilities at 30 June 2016 were
$197.3 million.
Cashflow
Statutory operating cashflow including
proceeds from the Securitisation Program
was $160.8 million, $89.6 million
lower than the pcp. The inflow from
securitisation of trade debtors was $18.7
million in the financial year compared
to $96.9 million in the pcp. Excluding
securitisation inflows, statutory operating
cashflow was $11.4 million lower than the
pcp, primarily due to higher income tax
cash payments.
Payments for property, plant and
equipment were $52.1 million compared
to $43.4 million in the pcp. The increase
includes capital expenditure in acquired
businesses (mainly Jalco), expenditure
relating to the integration of acquisitions
and an initial $2.7 million in capital
expenditure relating to the establishment
of a crate pooling business in Australia.
Payments for purchase of businesses and
subsidiaries of $113.9 million includes
Jalco ($76.1 million), Power Plastics ($15.0
million), Stowers Containment Solutions
($13.9 million), Ecopolymers ($1.4 million)
and a $7.2 million deferred payment
relating to the Sulo acquisition from
2014.

Pact Australia achieved growth in both sales
revenue and EBIT before significant items.
Sales revenue grew by $138.0 million
compared to the pcp, or 15.5%, positively
impacted by acquisitions. Excluding
acquisitions, volumes were lower. Growth
in the materials handling sector was
more than offset by softer demand in
the agricultural and industrial sectors,
impacted by unfavourable weather
conditions, weaker mining markets, and
the impact of net contract losses.
EBIT (before significant items) of $95.6
million was up $9.3 million or 10.8%
compared to the pcp. Earnings growth
was delivered through acquisitions and
efficiency benefits, including benefits
delivered through the 2015 Efficiency
Program, property sales and lower lease
related costs. These benefits more than
offset the impact of lower underlying
volumes and costs associated with
management transition and facility start-
up costs in the period.
The EBIT margin of 9.3% was lower
than the prior year, negatively impacted
by lower margins in the acquired
businesses, partly impacted by the costs
of integration. Excluding acquisitions,
underlying margins improved.
Pact International achieved growth in
EBIT before significant items despite
slightly lower sales revenue.
Sales revenue of $353.4 million was down
$5.8 million, or 1.6%, versus the pcp.
The business achieved higher volumes
in the material handling sector, through
the supply of household bins and
industrial crates, and benefitted from the
acquisition of Stowers, as well as overall
favourable foreign exchange conditions
in the year. These positive impacts were
more than offset by lower volumes
from weaker demand in the dairy and
industrial sectors, and the impact to sales
from ownership changes in South East
Asia (from 100% owned to JV).
EBIT (before significant items) at $66.8
million was up $0.7 million, or 1.1%
compared to the pcp. Earnings growth
was delivered through the contribution
of the acquired Stowers business and
efficiency savings. These benefits more
than offset lower underlying sales volumes
and start-up costs relating to the new
Indonesian manufacturing facility, which
was commissioned in December 2015.
The EBIT margin of 18.9% improved from
18.4% in the pcp.
PACT GROUP HOLDINGS LTD Other Events of Significance
Crate Pooling
2017 Outlook
The outlook for the Group is for higher
revenue and earnings (before significant
items) in FY17, subject to global economic
conditions.
In the Directors’ opinion, any further
disclosure of information would likely
result in unreasonable prejudice to the
Group.
Acquisitions
On 1 September 2015 the Group
completed the acquisition of 100% of the
issued share capital of Jalco Group Pty
Limited (Jalco) and its controlled entities.
Jalco is a leading supplier of contract
manufacturing, filling and packing in the
non-food FMCG sector. This acquisition
is part of the Group’s overall strategy
to deepen its existing FMCG customer
relationships and to enter new areas of
growth serving customers in this sector.
Total purchase consideration was $80.1
million (including deferred settlement),
and the acquisition was funded through
Group debt facilities.
During the year the Group also completed
the acquisition of Power Plastics Pty
Ltd (1 March 2016) for total purchase
consideration of $25.2 million; the
business assets of Stowers Containment
Solutions Ltd (29 February 2016) for total
purchase consideration of $13.9 million;
and the business assets of Ecopolymers
Pty Ltd (3 May 2016) for total purchase
consideration of $2.9 million.
On 16 May 2016 the Group announced
that it had entered into an agreement
under which the Group will construct,
own and operate crate pooling,
washing and storage facilities to service
Woolworths. This is a natural extension
of the Group’s existing presence in the
materials handling sector and continues
the strategy of pursuing new revenue
streams through organic growth.
It is expected the establishment of the
business, including the construction
of crate washing facilities and the
manufacture of crates, will cost
approximately $70 million, with most
of the capital expenditure spent in the
FY17. The new business is expected to
commence operations early in FY18.
On 7 June 2016 the Group also
announced that it was to purchase the
assets, brands and trademarks of the
Fruit Case Company, a New Zealand
based crate pooling and hire company,
for $16.9 million, continuing the Group’s
strategic expansion into the materials
handling sector. The acquisition
completed on 1 July 2016.

VISION

Organic Growth
The Group’s core business benefits from:
•
leading sector positions;
• a diverse customer base with long-
term relationships;
• a highly diversified product portfolio;
• broad end-market reach;
• an extensive manufacturing and
supply network; and
• world-class innovation.
Key to the Group’s ability to grow
organically is its ability to leverage these
differentiating characteristics to create a
competitive advantage. A core focus of
the Group is innovation. Pact supplies
some of the most innovative products
in the market, supported by in-house
innovation capability and extensive global
licencing arrangements. The Group’s
commitment to innovation has been
recognised through multiple industry and
customer awards (refer to page 16).
Efficiency
M&A
3 PILLARS
The Group is focussed on delivering
operational excellence and the lowest
Our People will Drive Growth through:
1) Organic Growth via Front Line Obsession & Innovation 2) OPEX & Efficiency & 3) Strategic M&A
cash cost of production.
While fixated on delivering total customer satisfaction and total shareholder return
In 2015 the Group announced an
Efficiency Program to eliminate excess
capacity and align the Group with
customers’ requirements and expected
long-term volumes. This program has
now been substantially completed
delivering benefits in the 2016 financial
year, with annual benefits of $15 million
expected in FY17.
The strategic focus on efficiency will be
enhanced going forward through the
implementation of lean manufacturing
techniques across the manufacturing
footprint in a systematic and staged
approach. In addition, the Group will
continue to review all areas of the
business for efficiency opportunities in
the pursuit of operational excellence.
The Group has a long track record of
success in identifying value accretive
acquisition opportunities, executing
transactions in a disciplined and
systematic manner, and delivering cost
synergies and operational efficiencies
through integration. Acquisitions have
provided both product and customer
diversity to the Group.
M&A opportunities must meet strict
assessment and evaluation criteria.
Opportunities must be low risk and
aligned with the Group’s core sectors or
close adjacencies, and expected returns
must meet a minimum financial hurdle of
20% return on investment by year three.
Discipline in deal execution is provided
by a centrally managed integration
process. A strict timeline for transition
and the centralisation of common
operational and back-office functions
ensures cost synergies and efficiencies
are realised early.
PACT GROUP HOLDINGS LTD Business Risks
People Risks
Competitor Risks
There are various internal and external
risks that may have a material impact on
the Group’s future financial performance
and economic sustainability. The Group
makes every effort to identify material
risks and to manage these effectively.
The material financial risks include:
Customer Risks
Customers are fundamental to the
success of the business and, in
recognition of this, Pact invests in the
quality of its relationships with key
material customers, and in producing
products to customers required
specification and standard. The loss of
key material customers, a reduction in
their demand for Pact’s products or a
claim for non-performance can have a
negative effect on the future financial
performance of the Group.
Future financial and operational
performance of the Group is significantly
dependant on the performance and
retention of key personnel, in particular
Senior Management. The unplanned
or unexpected loss of key personnel,
or the inability to attract and retain
high performing individuals to the
business may adversely impact the
Group’s future financial performance.
In line with the manufacturing industry,
Pact has an exposure to health and
safety management incidents in the
manufacturing operations. Failure to
comply with health and safety legislation
and industry good practice may result in
harm to a person or persons, which may
lead to negative operational, reputational
and financial impacts.
Pact operates in a highly competitive
environment due to factors including
actions by existing or new competitors,
price, product selection and quality,
manufacturing capability, innovation
and the ability to provide the customer
with an appropriate range of products
and services in a timely manner. Any
deterioration in the Group's competitive
position as a result of actions from
competitors may result in a decline
in sales revenue and margins, and an
adverse effect on the Group's future
financial performance.
Consumer Preferences
Changes in consumer preference for
Pact’s products or adverse activities in
key industry sectors which Pact and its
customers service may be influenced by
various factors. These industry sectors
include consumer goods (eg. food, dairy,
beverages, personal care and other
household consumables) and industrial
(eg. surface coatings, petrochemical,
agriculture and chemicals) industry
sectors. Factors which may influence
these sectors include climate conditions,
seasonality of foods, an increased
focus in Australian and New Zealand
supermarket chains on private brands,
and reputation of products, substrates
or technology in the wider industry
sector. Demand for Pact's products may
materially be affected by any of these
factors which could have an adverse
effect on the Group's future financial
performance.

Strategic Acquisitions
Interruption to Operations
Pact operates across a diverse
geographical footprint and situations
may arise in which sites are not able
to operate. Factors include emergency
situations such as natural disasters,
failure of information technology systems
or security, or industrial disputes. Any of
these factors may lead to disruptions in
production or increase in costs, and may
have an adverse effect on the Group’s
financial performance.
Compliance Risks
Pact is required to comply with a range
of laws and regulations, and those of
particular significance to Pact are in
the areas of employment, work health
and safety, property, environmental,
competition, anti-bribery and corruption,
customs and international trade, taxation
and corporations.
Pact’s strong growth over time has been
aided by the acquisition of numerous
businesses and assets. This growth
has placed, and may continue to place,
significant demands on management,
information reporting systems and
financial and internal control systems.
Effective management of Pact’s growth,
including identification of suitable
acquisition candidates and effective
management of integration costs will be
required on an ongoing basis. If this does
not occur then there may be an adverse
effect on the Group's future financial
performance.
Foreign Exchange Rates
Pact’s financial reports are prepared
in Australian dollars. However, a
substantial proportion of Pact’s sales
revenue, expenditures and cashflows are
generated in, and assets and liabilities
are denominated in, New Zealand
dollars. Pact is also exposed to a range of
other currencies including the US dollar,
Chinese yuan, the Philippines peso, the
Indonesian rupiah and the Thai baht in
relation to Pact’s business operations.
Any depreciation of the Australian dollar
and adverse movement in exchange
rates would have an adverse effect on
the Group's future financial performance.
Supply Chain
The ability for the supply chain to meet
the Group’s requirements including the
sourcing of raw materials, is reliant on
key relationships with suppliers. The
price and availability of raw materials,
input costs, and future consolidation
in industry sectors could result in a
decrease in the number of suppliers or
alternative supply sources available to
Pact. Additionally Pact may not always be
able to pass on changes in input prices to
its customers. Any of these factors may
have an adverse effect on the Group's
future financial performance.
Footnotes
This Report includes certain non-IFRS financial information which has not been subject to audit by the Company’s external auditor. This information is used by Pact, the
investment community and Pact’s Australian peers with similar business portfolios. Pact uses this information for its internal management reporting as it better reflects what
Pact considers to be its underlying performance.
(1) EBITDA before significant items is a non-IFRS financial measure which is calculated as earnings before significant items, finance costs (net of interest revenue), tax,
depreciation and amortisation.
(2) EBIT before significant items is a non-IFRS financial measure which is calculated as earnings before significant items, finance costs (net of interest revenue) and tax.
(3) NPAT before significant items is a non-IFRS financial measure which is calculated as net profit after tax before significant items.
(4) Gearing is a non-IFRS financial measures which is calculated as net debt divided by EBITDA before significant items. Net debt is calculated as current debt plus non-current
debt less cash.
(5) Interest cover is a non-IFRS financial measures which is calculated as EBITDA before significant items divided by interest expense.
(6) TSR measured as June 2016 30 day volume weighted average share price plus dividends received by shareholders in FY16, compared to June 2015 30 day volume weighted
average share price.

Pact has been transformed from a rigid packaging business
generating $0.2 billion in sales revenue in 2002 to a diversified
provider of specialty packaging and manufacturing solutions
generating close to $1.4 billion in sales revenue in 2016, with
operations across seven countries.
Our Transformation
This transformation has been underpinned
by a disciplined approach to M&A, a core
pillar of the Group’s growth strategy.
Since inception Pact has successfully
integrated 47* acquisitions (including
four in FY16) delivering growth, synergies
and geographic expansion. Acquisitions
have also generated increased product
and customer diversification, providing
new growth sectors and resilience in the
Group’s earnings.

Establishing a leading
position in crate pooling
On 1 September 2015 Pact completed
the acquisition of Jalco Group Pty Ltd in
New South Wales. Jalco is Australia’s
pre-eminent FMCG contract
manufacturing service provider, a
contract filler and manufacturer of
personal care and household products.
The business has been successfully
integrated and is performing ahead of
expectations, generating revenues in
FY16 of $165 million and expanding the
Group’s product and customer portfolio.
Woolworths Contract
Fruit Case Company
On 1 July 2016 Pact purchased the assets,
brands and trademarks of the Fruit Case
Company, a leading crate pooling and hire
business in New Zealand. The business
has strong long-term relationships with
growers and retailers. The acquisition
aligns with the Group’s strategic intent
to expand within the materials handling
sector.
In May 2016 the Group announced
that it had entered into an agreement
to construct, own and operate crate
pooling, washing and storage facilities
to service Woolworths. This long-term
partnership will provide Pact with a
leading position in returnable produce
crate pooling services. The initiative is
also a natural extension of the Group’s
existing presence in the materials
handling sector and continues the
strategy of pursuing new revenue
streams through organic growth.
Crate pooling operations with
Woolworths will commence in
the first quarter of FY18.

Financial Report
Full Year Consolidated Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2016
Introduction
This is the Consolidated Financial Report of Pact Group Holdings
Ltd (“Pact” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together
referred to as the “Group”) and including the Group’s interest in
associates and jointly controlled entities at the end of, or during
the year ended 30 June 2016. This Consolidated Financial Report
was issued in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 24
August 2016.
To make the Consolidated Financial Report less complex and
more useful to readers, note disclosures have been reorganised
into sections to allow readers to better understand the
performance of the Group and how this links to Pact’s strategy
outlined in the Operating and Financial Review.
Information is only included in the Consolidated Financial Report
to the extent the Directors consider it material and relevant to
the understanding of the financial statements. A disclosure is
considered material and relevant if, for example:
•
•
•
•
the dollar amount is significant in size and/or by nature;
the Group’s results cannot be understood without the
specific disclosure;
it is critical to allow a user to understand the impact of
significant changes in the Group’s business during the
period; and
it relates to an aspect of the Group’s operations that is
important to its future performance.
Developing this Financial Report requires management to make
a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions to apply
the Group’s accounting policies. Actual results may differ from
these judgements and estimates under different assumptions
and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the
financial position reported in future periods. Key judgements
and estimates, which are material to this report, are highlighted
in the following notes:
• Note 1.2 Taxation
• Note 2.1 Business acquired
• Note 2.2 Control and significant influence
• Note 3.2 Estimation of useful lives of assets
• Note 3.2 Recoverability of property, plant and equipment
• Note 3.2 Impairment of goodwill and other intangibles
• Note 3.4 Business reorganisation
To assist in identifying key accounting estimates and
judgements, they have been highlighted as follows:

significant items after tax attributable to shareholders in dividends.
Franking capacity in FY2016 has been favourably impacted by franking credits received through acquisitions.
Other Events of Significance
Please refer to the Review of Operations and Financial Performance in the Annual Report.
Significant Events After Balance Date
On 1 July 2016 the Group acquired the assets, brands and trademarks of the Fruit Case Company (FCC), for
a provisional consideration of $16.9 million. FCC’s principal activities include crate pooling and hire business
with operations in New Zealand.
In the opinion of the Directors, there have been no other material matters or circumstances which have
arisen between 30 June 2016 and the date of this Report that have significantly affected or may significantly
affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations and the state of affairs of the Group in
subsequent financial periods.
Workplace Health, Safety and Environmental Regulation
The Group operates under an integrated Workplace Health, Safety and Environment (WHSE) Management
System, with a goal of Towards Zero Harm to both people and the planet. The system is aligned with ISO
14001 and operates under an Environmental Policy and a Workplace Health and Safety Policy. The system
is fundamental to achieving compliance with WHSE regulations in all jurisdictions in which we operate and is
implemented at all of our sites.
Where applicable, licences and consents are in place in respect of each site within the Group. An interactive
database is further used to ensure compliance and completion of all required actions.
On occasion, the Group receives notices from relevant authorities pursuant to local WHSE legislation and
in relation to the Group’s WHSE licences and consents. The Group takes all notices seriously, conducting
a thorough investigation into the cause and ensuring that there is no reoccurrence. Pact works with the
appropriate authorities to address any requirements and to proactively manage any obligations.
The Group is also subject to the reporting and compliance requirements of the Australian National
Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (Cth). The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007
requires that Pact reports its annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. Pact has submitted all
annual reports, and is due to submit its next report by 31 October 2016.

Directors’ Report
Indemnification and Insurance of Officers
The Company’s Constitution requires the Company to indemnify current and former Directors, alternate
Directors, executive officers and such other officers of the Company as the Board determines on a full
indemnity basis and to the full extent permitted by law against all liabilities incurred as an officer of the
Group. Further, the Company’s Constitution permits the Company to maintain and pay insurance premiums
for Director and Officer liability insurance, to the extent permitted by law.
Consistent with (and in addition to) the provisions in the Company’s Constitution outlined above, the
Company has also entered into deeds of access, indemnity and insurance with all Directors of the Company
and the Company Secretary which provide indemnities against losses incurred in their role as Directors or
Company Secretary, subject to certain exclusions, including to the extent that such indemnity is prohibited by
the Corporations Act 2001 or any other applicable law. In addition, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
has entered into deeds of indemnity with those of its current and former Directors and Secretaries involved
in a potential transaction which provide indemnities against losses incurred in the event of breaches of their
obligations under confidentiality deeds entered into by them for the purpose of such transaction, and in
the course of their employment, subject to certain exclusions including to the extent that such indemnity is
prohibited by the Corporations Act 2001. The deeds stipulate that the Company will meet the full amount of
any such liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal fees).
During the financial year the Company paid insurance premiums for a Directors and Officers liability insurance
contract that provides cover for the current and former Directors, alternate Directors, secretaries, executive
officers and officers of the Group. The Directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered
in this contract or the amount of the premium paid, as disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.
Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s standard engagement letter with Ernst & Young (EY), it indemnifies
EY against all claims by third parties and resulting liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses
(including reasonable legal costs) arising out of, or relating to, the services provided by EY or a breach of
the engagement letter. The indemnity does not apply in respect of any matters finally determined to have
resulted from EY’s negligent, wrongful or wilful acts or omissions nor to the extent prohibited by applicable
law including the Corporations Act 2001.
Proceedings on Behalf of the Company
No person has applied to the court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring
proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party,
for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.
No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Company with the leave of the court
under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.
Non-audit Services
During the year, EY, the Company’s auditor, performed other assignments in addition to their statutory audit
responsibilities.
Details of the amounts paid or payable to EY for non-audit services provided in respect of the Group during
the year are as follows:
Tax services

The Board has considered the position and, in accordance with the advice received from the Audit, Business
Risk and Compliance Committee, is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the
general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by EY, given the amounts paid and the
type of work undertaken, did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations
Act 2001 for the following reasons:
• all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Audit, Business Risk and Compliance Committee to
ensure they do not impact the impartiality 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, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own
work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Group, acting as advocate for the
Group or jointly sharing economic risk and rewards.

2. Governance
Nomination and Remuneration Committee
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee (the Committee) is delegated responsibility by the Board for
managing appropriate remuneration policy and governance procedures including:
•
•
•
•
•
review and recommend to the Board appropriate remuneration policies and arrangements including
incentive plans for the CEO and CFO;
review and approve short-term incentive plans, long-term incentive plans, performance targets and
bonus payments for the CEO and CFO;
review the performance of the CEO;
review the Senior Executives’ performance assessment processes to ensure they are structured and
operate to realise business strategy; and
review and recommend to the Board, remuneration arrangements for the Chairman and NEDs.
The Committee comprises four NEDS and meet as often as the Committee members deem necessary to
fulfil the Committee’s obligations. It is intended they meet no less than three times a year. A copy of the
Committee’s charter is available at www.pactgroup.com.au.

Use of Remuneration Consultants
To ensure the Committee is fully informed when making remuneration decisions it will seek remuneration advice
where required.
Decisions to engage remuneration consultants are made by the Committee or the Board. Contractual
engagements and briefing of the consultants is undertaken by the Chairman of the Committee and the
remuneration recommendation is to be provided directly to the Chairman of the Committee.
EY was engaged during the financial year to provide recommendations to the Group on the development of a
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). EY provided recommendations on the structure of a LTIP including but not limited
to the following components:
•
timing of awards;
• quantum of grants;
• eligibility of employees;
•
• performance measures;
• vesting schedule; and
•
type of equity instrument as an award vehicle;
the performance period.
The CEO and CFO had no involvement in the engagement or instruction of EY. The Company complies with the
Act to ensure any remuneration advice or recommendation received is free from undue influence by the KMP
to whom the advice or recommendation relates. The appointment of EY for the provision of this service did not
impact on the independence of EY as auditors of the Company and the Group, as EY was not involved in the final
design and implementation of the plan. The Company paid EY $29,612 for this review.
3. Executive Remuneration Arrangements
Remuneration Principles and Strategy
Pact’s executive remuneration strategy is designed to attract, retain, reward and motivate high performing
individuals through remuneration arrangements that are based on performance and experience, are
competitive for companies of a similar size and nature, and are aligned with the interests of shareholders.
Remuneration for executive KMP includes fixed remuneration, and benefits that are at risk, awarded only on
the achievement of performance conditions. This includes a short-term incentive plan (STI) for the CEO and
CFO, and a LTIP for the CEO.
Fixed Remuneration
Comprises base salary and company superannuation contributions. The Group’s strategy is to provide
competitive fixed remuneration to attract high quality executives with the right experience, qualifications and
industry expertise to manage the business.
STI
An “at risk” component of remuneration paid in cash, awarded on the achievement of performance
conditions (financial and non-financial) over a 12 month period, that is intended to drive performance against
the Group’s short-term objectives.
LTIP
An “at risk” component of remuneration comprising the issue of Performance Rights awarded on the
achievement of performance conditions over a three year period, that is intended to drive performance
against the Group’s long-term objectives.
The LTIP was introduced in 2016 as a component of the CEO’s remuneration. The Committee believes the
LTIP appropriately incentivises and motivates the CEO in the achievement of longer term objectives which are
aligned with shareholders interests.
A review of whether broader participation in the LTIP, including participation by the CFO and other senior
executives, will be undertaken by the Committee at a later date.

Directors’ Report
Remuneration Report (audited) Cont.
Approach to Setting Remuneration
Remuneration levels are considered annually through a remuneration review that considers market data,
insights into remuneration trends, the performance of the Group and individual, and the broader economic
environment. The target remuneration mix for the 2016 year was as follows(1):
Executive KMP remuneration component at target
Fixed remuneration
Short-term incentives
Long-term incentives (LTIP)
Long-term incentives (Initial Share Grant) (2)
Total
Malcolm Bundey %
41%

Richard Betts %
68%
32%
-
-
100%
Brian Cridland %
68%
32%
-
-
100%
(1) Target remuneration is calculated as Fixed Remuneration, plus STI at target, plus long term incentives at target (based on the fair value of
Performance Rights at grant date).
(2) The initial share grant will form part of Mr Bundey’s total remuneration for the first three years of employment (refer to page 30 and 32 of
the Remuneration Report).
Detail of Incentive Plans
STI
The CEO has a maximum STI of 100% of Annual Base Salary (ABS). The CEO has achievement of Group
earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), before significant items as a financial
performance measure, and will be entitled to receive up to 80% of his STI plan if he achieves target levels.
The CEO also has a component based on non-financial performance measures including risk management,
diversity targets and talent management that comprise 20% of the STI plan.
The CFO has a maximum STI of 50% of ABS. The CFO has achievement of Group EBITDA before significant
items as a financial performance measure, and will be entitled to receive up to 80% of his STI plan if he
achieves target levels. The CFO also has a component based on non-financial performance measures
including risk management, diversity targets and talent management that comprise 20% of the STI plan.
Group EBITDA before significant items is considered a financial measure which is strongly aligned with the
interests of shareholders. EBITDA is key indicator of the underlying growth of the business, and is strongly
aligned with cashflow, which enables the payment of dividends to shareholders. EBITDA can be reliably
measured.
LTIP
The CEO participates in the LTIP, with an entitlement to performance rights equal to 100% of annual base
salary with a vesting period of three years.
Key features of the LTIP are outlined below:
Grant Value
For the year ended 30 June 2016, 146,444 performance rights are expected to be granted based on the
volume weighted average price (VWAP) of $4.78. The VWAP was based on the Pact Group share price
over the five day period commencing 24 November 2015. The number of performance rights are on a pro
rata entitlement based on a commencement date of 1 December 2015. The fair value of each right at the
valuation date of 22 June 2016 is $3.85.
The 2015 LTIP has been granted as one tranche, commencing on 1 December 2015. Share based payments
expense for FY2016 has been recognised from 1 December 2015. The expense is based on the fair value of
the performance rights.
The implementation of the LTIP, including the issuing of entitlements to shares or the vesting of shares under
the plan, remains subject to the approval of the LTIP by shareholders at the Company’s AGM to be held in
November 2016. In the event that the LTIP as currently proposed and set out in this report is not approved
by shareholders at the AGM, it is the Board’s intention to replicate the LTIP, as closely as practicable, but
replacing the issuing of entitlements in shares with entitlements to cash payments that ‘shadow’ the value of
the shares that would otherwise have vested under the proposed plan.
Performance Period
The performance period for the LTIP is from 1 December 2015 to 30 June 2018.
ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Directors’ Report
Remuneration Report (audited) Cont.
Performance Hurdles
Vesting of this tranche will be subject to the following:
• The Company achieving its relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) target. This hurdle was elected by the
Committee as it is clearly aligned with returns to shareholders. TSR is calculated by measuring the return
to shareholders based on the share price growth combined with the dividends declared over the three
year performance period.
• TSR is then ranked on a relative basis with the TSR performance measured against the S&P/ASX 200
comparator group, excluding companies in the Financials, Metals and Mining sector. The peer group has
been selected by the Board at the time of the grant.
• The percentage of rights subject to the relative TSR hurdle that vest, if any, will be determined by
the Committee with reference to the percentile ranking achieved by the Company over the relevant
performance period, compared to other entities in the relative TSR comparator peer group, as follows:
Vesting Schedule
TSR Relative to peer group
At or above the 75th percentile
Between the 50th and 75th percentile
At the 50th percentile
Below the 50th percentile
Vesting %
100%
pro rata vesting between 50% to 100%
50%
Nil
Cessation of Employment
If an executive resigns or is terminated for cause, any unvested LTIP awards are forfeited, unless otherwise
determined by the Board. A “good leaver” will retain a pro rata number of performance rights based on time
elapsed since the initial grant date. Any such Performance rights will be subject to the original terms and
conditions, and discretion of the Board.
Rights Attaching to Performance Rights
Performance rights do not carry any dividend or voting entitlements prior to vesting. Shares allocated upon
vesting of performance rights will carry the same rights as other ordinary shares.
Clawback
100% of the award can be forfeited where there has been any fraud, dishonesty, or breach of obligations,
including a material misstatement of the Financial Statements.
Change of Control Provisions
In the event of change of control, the performance period end date will be brought forward to the date of
change of control, and awards will vest based on performance over this shortened period (subject to Board
discretion).
Initial Share Grant
The CEO is entitled to receive an initial share grant of $1 million. The shares will be issued in 1/3 lots at
the conclusion of each anniversary from 1 December 2015 for the first three years of employment. These
shares are subject to escrow until the three years of service has been completed. Should the CEO cease
employment during this time the shares will be forfeited.

Directors’ Report

6. Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration Arrangements
Remuneration Policy
The Committee seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability
to attract and retain non-executive directors (NEDs) of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is
acceptable to shareholders.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the fee structure is
reviewed annually against fees paid to NEDs of comparable companies (S&P/ASX 200 comparator group,
excluding companies in the Financials, Metals and Mining sector).
The Company’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the NED fee pool shall be determined
from time to time by a general meeting. Consistent with prior years, the total amount paid to NEDs must not
exceed a fixed sum of $1,000,000 per financial year in aggregate. Raphael Geminder does not receive a fee
for his position as Chairman and a NED of the Company.
Structure
The remuneration of NEDs consists of directors’ fees and committee fees. The payment of additional fees
for serving on a committee or being the Chair of a committee recognises the additional time commitment
required by NEDs who serve on committees.
The table below summarises the NED fees for FY16, which remains unchanged from FY15:

Of the Centralbridge Leases in New Zealand, three of the leases contain early termination rights in favour
of the landlord to terminate the lease at the expiry of the 6th and 9th term. With the exception of the early

Pact’s chief operating decision maker is the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO
monitors results by reviewing two reportable segments, Pact Australia (PA) and Pact International (PI),
focusing on reported EBIT (earnings before finance costs and loss on de-recognition of financial assets, net of
interest income, tax and significant items). As required by AASB 8 Operating Segments, the results above have
been reported on a consistent basis to that supplied to the CEO.

How Pact accounts for Revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when there has been a transfer of risks and rewards to the
customer (through the execution of a sales agreement at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer),
no further work or processing is required, the quantity and quality of the goods has been determined, the
price is determined and generally title has passed. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair
value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits
will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Key Estimates and Judgements – Taxation
Pact is subject to income tax in Australia and foreign jurisdictions. The calculation of the Group’s tax charge
requires management to determine whether it is probable that there will be sufficient future taxable profits
to recoup deferred tax assets.
Judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence if final tax determinations or future
actual results do not align with current judgements, this may have an impact to the carrying value of deferred
tax balances and corresponding credits or charges to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income
and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Section 1 – Our Performance
1.2 Taxation (continued)
How Pact accounts for taxation
1.2 Taxation (continued)
Income tax charges:
• Comprise of current and deferred income tax charges and represent the amounts expected to be
paid to and recovered from the taxation authorities in the jurisdictions that Pact operates.
• Are recorded in Equity when the underlying transaction that the tax is attributable to is recorded
within Other Comprehensive Income.
Pact uses the tax laws in place or those that have been substantively enacted at reporting date to calculate
income tax. For deferred income tax, Pact also considers whether these tax laws are expected to be in
place when the related asset is realised or liability is settled. Management periodically re-evaluate their
assessment of their tax positions, in particular where they relate to specific interpretations of applicable tax
regulation.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on all assets and liabilities that have different carrying
values for tax and accounting, except for:
•
initial recognition of goodwill; and
• any undistributed profits of Pact’s subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures where either the
distribution of those profits would not give rise to a tax liability or the directors consider they have the
ability to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences.
Specifically for deferred tax assets:
• They are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that there is sufficient future taxable
amounts to be utilised against. This assessment is reviewed at each reporting date.
• They are offset against deferred tax liabilities in the same tax jurisdiction, when there is a legally
•
enforceable right to do so.
If acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteria for separate recognition
at that date, would be recognised subsequently if new information about facts and circumstances
changed. The adjustment would either be treated as a reduction to goodwill (as long as it does not
exceed goodwill) if it was incurred during the measurement period or in the Consolidated Statement
of Comprehensive Income.
Australian tax consolidated group
Pact Group Holding Ltd and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group
(Australian tax consolidated group), effective January 2014. A tax funding agreement is also in place such
that Pact Group Holdings Ltd pays any taxes owed by the Group to the Australian Tax Office.
The operation of the previously announced amendments to the income tax consolidated group
legislation have been changed and deferred by the Government as outlined in the announcements in
the 2016-17 Budget. It is now intended that these rules should apply from 1 July 2016, rather than 13
May 2013, therefore eliminating any potential material negative impact on Pact’s financial position at 30
June 2016 but subject to the final form and content of the law if released.
There has been no further information regarding the proposed changes since the 2016-17 Budget
announcement.

(1) On 1 September 2015 the Group purchased 100% of the issued capital of Jalco Group Pty Limited and
the following controlled entities: Jalco Automotive Pty Limited, Jalco Powders Pty Limited, Jalco Plastics Pty
Ltd, Jalco Australia Pty Limited, Jalco Care Products Pty Limited, Packaging Employees Pty Limited, Jalco
Cosmetics Pty Limited, and Jalco Promotional Packaging Pty Limited (Jalco) for a purchase consideration
of $80.1 million. Jalco is a leading supplier of contract manufacturing, filling and packing in the non-food
FMCG sector. The acquisition is part of the Group’s overall strategy to deepen its existing FMCG customer
relationships and to enter new areas of growth.
Goodwill of $43.9 million has arisen as a result of the purchase consideration exceeding the fair value
of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the Pact Australia reportable segment. This
goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.
The fair value of Jalco’s trade and other receivables acquired amounted to $30.0 million. This was net of an
immaterial impairment provision and it is expected that the stated fair value amount will be collected.
From the date of acquisition to 30 June 2016 Jalco contributed $165.4 million of revenue and $7.4 million
to the net profit before tax of the Group. If the combination had taken place at 1 July 2015, contributions
to revenue for the year ended 30 June 2016 would have been $38.0 million higher and the contribution to
profit before tax for the Group would have been $2.6 million higher.
(2) During the year, consistent with strategy to expand its customer and product portfolio, the Group acquired:
• The business assets, business records and contracts of Stowers Containment Solutions Ltd for $13.9
million (NZ$15.0 million) on 29 February 2016.
• 100% of the shares in Power Plastics Pty Ltd for $25.2 million, consisting of a $15.8 million cash payment
and the issue of $9.4 million shares in the Company on 1 March 2016 (refer Note 4.2).
• The business assets, business records and contracts of Ecopolymers Pty Ltd for $2.9 million, consisting
of a $1.4 million cash payment, $0.3m deferred consideration and the issue of $1.2 million shares in the
Company on 3 May 2016 (refer Note 4.2).

Notes to the Financial Statements
Section 2 – Our Operational Footprint
2.1 Businesses Acquired (continued)
The provisional fair value of the trade and other receivables acquired through these acquisitions amounted
to $7.0 million. None of the trade receivables were impaired and it was expected that the full contractual
amounts would be collected.
In the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position provisional goodwill of $23.7 million has been
recognised as a result of these acquisitions. This goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.
From the dates of acquisition to 30 June 2016 the acquisitions contributed $11.7 million of revenue and
$0.6 million to the net profit before tax of the Group. If the combination of the acquisitions had taken place
at 1 July 2015, contributions to revenue for the 12 months would have been $29.1 million higher and the
contribution to profit before tax for the Group would have been $2.9 million higher.
(3) The difference between this balance and amounts recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
is the net cash acquired as part of the transaction, and a $7.2 million deferred payment made this financial
year relating to the Sulo acquisition, and a $0.3 million payment for a non-controlling interest in Vmax
Returnable Packaging Systems Pty Ltd.

Section 2 – Our Operational Footprint
2.1 Businesses Acquired (continued)
Key Estimates and Judgements – Business combinations
Certain assets and liabilities either given up or acquired as part of a business combination may not be
normally traded in active markets, thus management judgement is required in determining the fair values.
Management judgement is also required in ascertaining the assets and liabilities which should be recognised,
in particular with respect to intangible assets such as brand names, customer relationships, patents and
trademarks and contingent liabilities.
How Pact accounts for business acquisitions
When Pact acquires a business, if it satisfies the conditions of being a business combination under AASB 3
Business Combinations, then:
•
the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at
acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree;
• where settlement of any part of the consideration is deferred, and if the impact of discounting is
significant, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value. The discount rate
used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be
obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions;
• assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange are recorded at
fair value;
• acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred;
•
•
transaction costs arising on the issue of any equity instruments are recognised directly in equity;
if the cost of the business combination is in excess of the net fair value of the Group’s share of the
identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognised as goodwill. For impairment testing,
this goodwill has been allocated to and tested at the level of their respective cash generating units
(CGU’s), or group of CGU’s, in accordance with the level at which management monitors goodwill; and
if the cost of acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable net
assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the income statement.

Key Estimates and Judgements – Control and significant influence
Determining whether Pact can control or exert significant influence over an entity can at times require
judgement. It requires management to consider whether Pact is exposed to, or has the rights to, variable
returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power
over the investee. In making such an assessment, a range of factors are considered, including if and only if
the Group has: power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee); exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
How Pact accounts for controlled entities
Controlled entities are fully consolidated when the Group obtains control and cease to be consolidated
when control is transferred out of the Group. The Group controls an entity when it:
is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
•
• has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity, for example has the ability to
direct the relevant activities of the entity, which could affect the level of profit the entity makes.

Section 2 – Our Operational Footprint
2.3 Associates and Joint Ventures (continued)
How Pact accounts for investment in associates and joint ventures and jointly controlled entities
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power
to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint
control over those policies.
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the
arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed
sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities
require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The Group uses the equity method to account for their investments in associates and joint ventures,
where they consider they have significant influence but they do not have control. Generally significant
influence is deemed if Pact has over 20% of the voting rights.
Under the equity method:
•
Investments in the associates are carried at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of
associates’ net assets.
• Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not
tested for impairment separately.
• The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is
recognised in reserves.
• When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate,
including any unsecured long-term receivables and loans, the Group does not recognise further
losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise any
impairment loss with respect to the Group’s net investment in associates. Goodwill included in the carrying
amount of the investment in associates is not tested separately, rather the entire carrying amount of the
investment is tested for impairment as a single asset. The Group applies AASB 139 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement to determine whether there is an indicator that the Group’s net investment
in associates is impaired, after first applying equity accounting in accordance with AASB 128 Investments in
Associates. The Group must apply judgement to determine whether there is objective evidence that one or
more events have had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of its associates.

(2) At 30 June 2016 $33.6 million (2015: $30.7 million) has been recognised as part of other receivables
representing the Group’s participation in the securitisation program. The program requires the Group
(or an entity other than the bank) to be a participant of the program. Given the short term nature of this
financial asset, the carrying value of the associated receivable approximates its fair value and represents
the Group’s maximum exposure to the receivables derecognised as part of the program.
At 30 June 2016, trade receivables with an invoice value of $0.2 million (2015: $0.3 million) were impaired and
fully provided for. The Group has a number of mechanisms in place which assist in minimising financial losses
due to customer non-payment. These include:
• all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to strict credit verification procedures, which
may include an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and
industry reputation;
•
individual risks limits, which are regularly monitored in line with set parameters;
• monitoring receivable balances on an ongoing basis; and
• a debtors securitisation program. This is a three year program established in June 2015 which allows
Pact to sell receivables, at a discount, to a third party on a non-recourse basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Section 3 – Our Operating Assets
3.1 Working Capital (continued)
How Pact accounts for trade and other receivables
Pact’s trade receivables are non-interest bearing, are recorded at the amount on the sales invoice and include
Goods and Services Tax (GST). Trade receivables generally have 30 day terms from the end of the month.
If there is a concern over the collectability of a specific receivable and objective evidence exists, then the
amount recorded may be reduced by management’s best estimate of the potential impairment loss.
Impairment losses incurred which were specifically provided for in previous years are eliminated against
the provision for impairment. In all other cases, impairment losses are written off as an expense in the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Under the debtors securitisation program:
• The Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of receivables within the program to a
third party.
• Receivables are sold at a discount under the debtors securitisation program and at the date of sale the
receivable is derecognised and the discount is included as part of the loss on derecognition of financial
assets in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The costs associated with establishing
the program are also recognised on a pro rata basis within the same account (refer to Note 4.1).
• The Group also acts as a servicer to the program to facilitate the collection of receivables. Income
received for being a servicer is recorded as an offset to the loss on derecognition of receivables.
• At balance date, a liability is recognised if received collections have not been paid to other participants
of the program.

How Pact accounts for inventories
Inventories are recorded at cost, which for Pact includes:
• Raw materials: the invoice price of the product, net of any discount, rebates, duties and taxes, as well
as the cost of internal freight.
• Work in Progress and Finished Goods: cost of raw materials, direct labour and a proportion of
manufacturing overheads based on a normal level of operating capacity, but excluding costs that
relate to general administration, finance, marketing, selling and distribution.
If the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and
making the sale, is less than the cost of the inventory, the carrying value of inventory is reduced to this
lower amount.

Key Estimates and Judgements – Estimation of useful lives of assets
The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience and lease terms. In
addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining
useful life. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary.
Key Estimates and Judgements – Recoverability of property, plant and equipment
The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the
Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. These include product and manufacturing
performance, technology, social, economic and political environments and future product expectations. If an
impairment trigger exists the recoverable amount of the asset is assessed.

Section 3 – Our Operating Assets
3.2 Non-Current Assets (continued)
Property, plant and equipment (continued)
How Pact accounts for property plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the item and
subsequent costs incurred to replace parts that are eligible for capitalisation. Depreciation is calculated
on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Where assets are in the course of
construction at the reporting date they are classified as capital works in progress. Upon completion,
capital works in progress are reclassified to plant and equipment and are depreciated from this date.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset with a finite life
may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable
amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in
use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset generates cash inflows that are largely
dependent on those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be
estimated to approximate its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the
cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written
down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists,
the recoverable amounts are estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there
has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognised. If this is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its
recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
Goodwill and other intangibles
The majority of Pact’s intangible assets and goodwill balance relates to Goodwill, with the remainder of
the other intangibles balance comprising the carrying value of patents, trademarks and licenses. Other
intangibles for the year were $2,472,000 (2015: $2,849,000) and includes amortisation charges of $425,000
(2015: $202,000). These are recognised at cost and amortised over their useful live.
The movements in goodwill over the year were:

Key Estimates and Judgements – Impairment of goodwill and other intangibles
The recoverable amount of each of the CGU’s has been determined based on value in use calculations using
cash flow projections contained within next year’s financial budget approved by management and other
forward projections. Management have used their current expectations and what is considered reasonably
achievable when assigning values to key assumptions in their value in use calculations.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Section 3 – Our Operating Assets
3.2 Non-Current Assets (continued)
The calculations of value in use for both Pact Australia and Pact International CGU’s are sensitive to the
following assumptions:
• Gross margins and raw material price movement – Gross margins are based on average budgeted
(next years) margins which reflect current gross margins adjusted for any expected (and likely) efficiency
improvements or price changes.
• Cash Flows – Cash flows beyond the one year period are extrapolated using growth rates which are a
combination of volume growth and price growth. Rates are based on published industry research and
economic forecasts relating to GDP growth rates. The long term growth rates are in the range of 2.3% -
6.0% (2015: 2.7% - 6.0%).
• Discount rates – The discount rates for each CGU are calculated using rates based on an external
assessment of the Group’s pre-tax weighted average cost of capital in conjunction with risk factors
specific to the countries in which the CGU’s operate. Foreign currency cash flows are discounted using
the functional currency of the CGU’s and then translated to Australian Dollars using the closing exchange
rate. The pre-tax discount rates applied to cash flow projections are in the range of 11.3% - 20.0% (2015:
11.0% -19.0%).
With regard to the assessment of value in use, management believes that no reasonable change in any of
the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the CGU to materially exceed its recoverable
amount.
How Pact accounts for goodwill
Goodwill is:
•
initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s
interest in the net fair value of the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities;
• subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses; and
•
reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value may be impaired.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU (or group of CGU’s), to which
the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU (or group of CGU’s) is less than the carrying
amount, an impairment loss is recognised.
When goodwill forms part of a CGU (or group of CGU’s) and an operation within that unit is disposed of,
the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation
when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is
measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU’s retained.

(1) The Group leases buildings and plant and equipment such as office equipment and motor vehicles. The
Group has determined that it does not obtain all the significant risks and rewards of the buildings, office
equipment and motor vehicles and has thus classified the leases as operating leases. Rental payments
are generally fixed, but with inflation escalation clauses. These are accounted for through the fixed rent
provision. Property leases generally provide the Group with a right of renewal at which time terms are
renegotiated. There are no restrictions placed upon the lessee by entering into these leases.

(1) Business reorganisation - The business reorganisation program (announced in 2015) relates to the
optimisation of business facilities by eliminating excess capacity. That program is expected to be completed
in 2017.
(2) Fixed rent - Annual rentals for some of the property operating leases increase annually by fixed increments.
The provision has been recognised to apportion these increments on a straight line basis over the
minimum non-cancellable lease term.
(3) Make good on leased premises - In accordance with the form of lease agreements, the Group may be
required to restore leased premises to their original condition at the end of the lease term and upon exiting
the site. The provision is based on the costs which are expected to be incurred using historical costs as a
guide. During the year, the Group reduced its property make good provisions by $4.0m following a review of
contractual obligations, actual make good expenditure incurred and the renegotiation of existing leases.
Key Estimates and Judgements – Business reorganisation
Business reorganisation provisions are only recognised when a detailed plan has been approved and the
business reorganisation has either commenced or been publicly announced, or contracts relating to the
business reorganisation have been entered into. Costs related to ongoing activities are not provided for.
How Pact accounts for other provisions
Provisions are recognised when the following three criteria are met:
•
•
the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation; and
• a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present
value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a
financing cost.

Section 4 – Our Capital Structure
This section details specifics of the Groups’ capital structure. When
managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure that the entity
continues as a going concern as well as to provide optimal returns to
shareholders and other stakeholders.
Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the
lowest cost of capital available to the entity. Primary responsibility for
identification and control of capital and financial risks rests with the Treasury
Risk Management Committee.

During the current and prior year, there were no defaults or breaches on any of the loan terms and conditions.
How Pact accounts for loans and borrowings
All loans and borrowings are:
Initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.
•
• Subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, which is calculated
based on the principal borrowing amount less directly attributable transaction costs.
• Are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of
the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Fair value of the Group’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings are determined by using a discounted
cash flow method, applying a discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate at the end of the
reporting period. As the underlying debt has a floating interest rate (excluding the impact of the separate
interest rate swaps), the Group’s own performance risk at 30 June 2016 was assessed to be insignificant.
The carrying amount of the Group’s current and non-current borrowings materially approximates fair
value. The computation of the fair value of borrowings is derived using significant observable inputs (Fair
Value Hierarchy Level 2).
Finance costs are recognised as an expense when incurred. Finance costs which are directly attributable
to the acquisition of, or production of, a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset
using the weighted average cost of borrowings.

How Pact accounts for cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and
on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash
and cash equivalents as defined above, net of bank overdraft balances. Bank overdrafts are included
within interest-bearing loans and borrowings in current liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position. Cash flows are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis
and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable
from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

4.3 Managing Our Financial Risks
There are a number of financial risks the Group is exposed to that could adversely affect the achievement
of future business performance. The Group’s risk management program seeks to mitigate risks and reduce
volatility in the Group’s financial performance. Financial risk management is managed centrally by the
Treasury Risk Management Committee.
The Group’s principal financial risks are:
•
Interest rate risk;
• Foreign currency risk;
• Liquidity risk;
• Credit risk; and
• Commodity price risk.
Managing interest rate risk
Pact seeks to manage its finance costs by assessing and, where appropriate, utilising a mix of fixed and
variable rate debt. When variable debt is utilised it exposes the Group to interest rate risk.
What is the risk?
Pact has variable
interest rate debt,
and therefore
if interest rates
increase, the amount
of interest Pact is
required to pay
would also increase.
How does Pact manage this risk?
• Utilises interest rate swaps to
lock in the amount of interest
that Pact will be required to pay.
Impact at 30 June 2016
At 30 June 2016, the Group hedge cover is 44%
(2015: 52%) of its long term variable debt
excluding working capital facilities.
• Considers alternative financing
and mix of fixed and variable
debt, as appropriate.
Sensitivity analysis performed by management
showed that a +1% in AUD interest rates would
reduce net profit after tax by $1.1 million and
reduce equity by $0.5m (2015: $0.5 million
reduction in net profit after tax and $1.8m
increase in equity).
Sensitivity analysis performed by management
showed that a +1% in NZD interest rates would
reduce net profit after tax and equity by $1.1
million (2015: $1.1 million reduction).
(1) The impact of a +/- 1% movement in interest rates was determined based on the Group’s mix of debt,
credit standing with finance institutions, the level of debt that is expected to be renewed and economic
forecasters’ expectations.
Managing foreign currency risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates to the Group’s (i) operating
activities which are denominated in a different currency from the entities functional currency, (ii) financing
activities, and (iii) net investments in foreign subsidiaries.
The Group currently operates in six countries outside of Australia, with the following functional currencies:
Country of domicile
Functional Currency
New Zealand
NZD
Thailand
THB
Singapore
USD
China
RMB
Philippines
PHP
Indonesia

Section 4 – Our Capital Structure
4.3 Managing Our Financial Risks (continued)
As Pact has an Australian dollar (AUD) presentation currency, which is also the functional currency of its
Australian entities, this exposes Pact to foreign exchange rate risk.
Impact at 30 June 2016
The Group has a significant exposure to the USD
against the AUD and NZD from USD purchase
commitments, while the Group’s exposure to
sales denominated in currencies other than the
functional currency of the operating entity is less
than 1%.
At 30 June 2016, the Group has the majority of
its foreign currency committed purchase orders
hedged.
Sensitivity analysis of the foreign currency
contracts was performed to movements in the
Australian dollar against the relevant foreign
currencies, with all other variables held constant,
taking into account all underlying exposures and
related hedges.
This analysis showed that a 10% movement in
its major trading currencies would not materially
impact net profit after tax or equity.
There is no material impact from a change in FX
rates in other functional currencies on net profit
after tax or equity, if the movement was within
+/- 10%.
How does Pact manage this risk?
• Utilises forward foreign currency
contracts to eliminate or
reduce currency exposures of
individual transactions once
the Group has entered into a
firm commitment for a sale or
purchase.
What is the risk?
If transactions are
denominated in
currencies other
than the functional
currency of the
operating entity,
there is a risk of
an unfavourable
financial impact to
earnings if there is
an adverse currency
movement.
• Pact utilises borrowing in the
functional currency of the
overseas entity to naturally
hedge offshore entities where
considered appropriate. The
foreign currency debt provides
a balance sheet hedge of
the asset, while the foreign
currency interest cost provides
a natural hedge of the offshore
profit.
As Pact’s overseas
entities do not have
an Australian dollar
(AUD) functional
currency, if currency
rates move adversely
compared to the
AUD, then the
amount of AUD-
equivalent profit
would decrease and
the balance sheet
net investment value
would decline.
How Pact accounts for foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency of the individual entity
by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange prevailing at reporting date.
Non-monetary items that are measured at:
• Historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial
transaction.
• Fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair
value was determined.
As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the controlled entities with non-Australian dollar
functional currency are translated into the presentation currency of Pact at the rate of exchange at the
reporting date and their statements of comprehensive income are translated at the weighted average
exchange rate for the year (where appropriate).
The exchange rate differences arising on the translation to presentation currency are taken directly to the
foreign currency translation reserve, in equity.
On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that
particular foreign operation is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

4.3 Managing Our Financial Risks (continued)
Managing liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the Group and the Group’s ability to meet its obligations to
repay these financial liabilities as and when they fall due. Pact has a range of liabilities at 30 June that will be
required to be settled at some future date.
What is the risk?
The risk that Pact
cannot meet its
obligations to repay
its financial liabilities
as and when they
fall due.
How does Pact manage this risk?
• Having access to an adequate
amount of committed credit
facilities.
Impact at 30 June 2016
The Group is in a net current asset deficiency of
$31.8 million at balance date, however it has:
• $197.3 million of unused credit within its
• Maintains a balance between
continuity of funding and
flexibility through the use of
bank overdrafts, loans and
debtor securitisation.
syndicated facilitates; and
• $20.2 million unused overdraft facility.
The Directors have assessed that due to the
Group’s access to undrawn facilities and forecast
positive cash flows into the future they will be able
to pay their debts as and when they fall due, and
therefore it is appropriate the financial statements
are prepared on a going concern basis.
The maturity profile of the Group’s assets and liabilities based on contractual undiscounted receipt /

Notes to the Financial Statements
Section 4 – Our Capital Structure
4.3 Managing Our Financial Risks (continued)
Managing credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to meet their obligations under a
contract or arrangement. The Group is exposed to credit risk arising from its operating activities (primarily from
customer receivables) and financing activities. The Group manages this risk through the following measures:
• Operating activities: The Group has in place a number of mechanisms to manage its exposure to customer
credit risk, discussed in Note 3.1, including a debtor’s securitisation program where substantially all the
risks and rewards of the receivables within the program are transferred to a third party.
• Financial activities: Restricting dealings to counterparties with high credit ratings and limiting
concentration of credit risk.
The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting
period is equivalent to the carrying amount as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Commodity price risk
The Group is exposed to commodity price risk from a number of commodities, mainly resin. In managing this risk
the Group is generally able to pass on the price risk contractually with customers through rise and fall adjustments.
Utilising hedging contracts to manage risk
As discussed above, the Group utilises interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge
its risks associated with interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. All of Pact’s hedging instruments are
designated in cash flow hedging relationships, providing increased certainty over future cash flows associated
with foreign currency purchases or interest payments on variable interest rate debt facilities.
How Pact accounts for derivative financial instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge
relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective
and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes:
•
•
•
identification of the hedging instrument;
the hedged item or transaction; and
the nature of the risk being hedged; and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s
effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows
attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting
changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they have
actually been highly effective throughout the financial reporting period for which they were designated.
Derivative financial instruments are:
• Recorded at fair value at inception and every subsequent reporting date.
• Classified as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative.
The fair value of:
• Forward currency contracts is calculated by using valuation techniques such as present value
techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist and other
relevant models used by market participants. These valuation techniques use both observable and
unobservable market inputs, which are not considered to be significant (Fair value hierarchy level 2).
• Cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swap contracts is determined by reference to
market values for similar instruments.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in equity, while
the ineffective portion is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income
when the hedge transaction affects the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, such as
when hedged income or expenses are recognised or when a forecast sale or purchase occurs. When the
hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts taken to equity are transferred to
the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.
If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognised in equity are
transferred to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. If the hedging instrument expires
or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is
revoked, amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs.
If the related transaction to which the hedging instrument relates is not expected to occur, the amount is
taken to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Section 5 – Remunerating Our People
This section provides financial insight into employee reward and recognition
designed to attract, retain, reward and motivate high performing individuals
so as to achieve the objectives of the company,
in alignment with the interests of the Company and its shareholders.
This section should be read in conjunction with the Remuneration Report,
contained within the Directors Report, which provides specific details on the
setting of remuneration for Key Management Personnel.
5.1 Employee Benefits Expenses and Provisions

The Group’s non-current employee benefits provisions, $8,293,000 (2015: $7,012,000) relate to long serve
leave entitlements, while the current employee benefits provisions as at 30 June comprise of the following:

Long service leave
Total current provisions
16,807

11,759
26,156
How Pact accounts for employee benefits
Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to
the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave.
Benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are classified as current and
are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid
when the liability is settled.
The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future
payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the
projected unit credit method. Under this method consideration is given to expected future wage and
salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are
discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds (except for Australia
where high quality corporate bond rates are used in accordance with the standards) with terms to
maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Section 5 – Remunerating Our People
5.2 Share Based Payments
Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
An LTIP was introduced in 2016 as a component of the CEO’s remuneration, comprising the issue of
Performance Rights. The CEO is the sole participant in the LTIP for the current period and is entitled to
performance rights equal to 100% of annual base salary with a vesting period of three years. The LTIP scheme
commenced on 1 December 2015. Details of the LTIP can be found on page 29 of the Directors Report.
For the year ended 30 June 2016, 146,444 performance rights are expected to be granted to the CEO. These
rights were independently valued to establish the fair value in accordance with AASB2 Share Based Payments.
The fair value of each right at the valuation date of 22 June 2016 is $3.85. A total share based payment
expense of $127,312 in relation to the LTIP has been recognised in the current year.
The key assumptions in the independent valuation were as follows:
Share price at valuation date
Annualised volatility
Annual dividend yield
Risk free rate
Expected life of performance right
Model used
Initial Share Grant
$5.79
25.0%
4.0%
1.7%
31 months
Monte Carlo Simulation Model
The CEO is entitled to receive an initial share grant of $1 million in shares to be issued evenly at the
conclusion of each anniversary from 1 December 2015 for the first three years of employment. These
shares are subject to escrow until the three years of service has been completed. Should the CEO cease
employment during this time the shares will be forfeited.
The share based payments expense in relation to the initial share grant recognised in the current year was
$194,444.
The total share based payments expense arising from the LTIP and the initial share grant in the current year
was $321,756.

Pact has a number of Australian entities that are part to a Deed of Cross Guarantee (Deed), representing the
‘Closed Group’, entered into in accordance with ASIC Class Order 98/1418. This Deed grants these entities
relief from preparing and lodging audited financial statements under the Corporations Act 2001.
The Closed Group is in a net current asset deficiency at balance date, however the Directors have assessed
that due to the Group’s access to undrawn facilities and forecast positive cash flows into the future they will
be able to pay their debts as and when they fall due (refer Note 4.3 Managing our financial risks).

the year ended 30 June 2016 (2015: $905.4 million). Pact’s second largest region is New Zealand, with
$288.2 million sales made to New Zealand based customers during the year ended 30 June 2016
(2015: $280.4 million).
6.7 Subsequent Events
On 1 July 2016 the Group acquired the assets, brands and trademarks of the Fruit Case Company (FCC),
for a provisional consideration of $16.9 million. FCC operates crate pooling and hire in New Zealand.
The acquisition aligns with the Group’s strategic intent to expand within the materials handling sector.
The acquisition includes the following:
$’000
Provisional Consideration paid
Provisional Fair value of identifiable net assets
Provisional Goodwill arising on acquisition
AUD
16,930
3,178
13,752
Goodwill represents the provisional value attributed to established networks and strong long term
relationships that FCC currently enjoys with growers and retailers.
Other than the matter mentioned above, in the opinion of the Directors, there have been no other material
matters or circumstances which have arisen between 30 June 2016 and the date of this report that have
significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations
and the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial periods.
The accounting for this acquisition is preliminary and therefore the Group is currently unable to make further
disclosures as required by the relevant Accounting Standards.
