Peter Kempen

Dear Shareholders,

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Pro Medicus 
as an ASX listed company and we are delighted to 
advise it has been another record year with revenue 
rising by 13.4% to $56.82 million and underlying 
profit before tax increasing by 33.4% to $30.23 
million.

This result was largely driven by the North American 
business which experienced strong growth 
in transaction revenue from new and existing 
customers, despite the impact of COVID-19 in the 
second half of the year. The company continued 
to expand its footprint in the North American 
market winning three new contracts. The first, a $9 
million 5-year contract with Ohio State University 
(OSU) in November 2019. This was followed by a 
$6 million 5-year contract with Nines in December 
2019 with the largest sale of the year, and one of 
the company’s largest to date, a $22 million 5-year 
deal with Chicago-based Northwestern Memorial 
in June 2020. Seven of the top twenty hospitals 
in the U.S. (as voted by U.S. News Best Hospitals 
20/21) now use the company’s leading-edge Visage 
7 technology. Our Australian and European divisions 
were also solid contributors with continued rollout 
of Visage RIS in Australia and incremental sales of 
Visage 7 in Europe.

The past year has also seen the company enhance 
its reputation for successful implementations by 
completing the go-live at Mass General Brigham 
(previously Partners) in six weeks, a record for the 
industry. Our clients continue to realise significant 
benefits in key areas such as IT infrastructure 
consolidation, radiologist productivity, increased 
clinical accuracy and scalability. 

Our ongoing efforts and increasing investments in 
Research and Development for both our Visage 7 
and Visage RIS products continue to be rewarded.  
During the past year the company released its AI 
accelerator platform that has been adopted by some 
of the most prestigious healthcare institutions in the 
U.S., as well as its Workflow manager product that 
rounds out the company’s offering.

The trend towards purchasing our technology on a 
transaction or “pay per view” basis continues with 
the majority of North American revenue now coming 
from this model.  Based on committed minimum 
transaction numbers over a 5-7 year contract 

period, this model has built a high-quality scalable 
annuity stream which grew 30.7% year on year as 
existing client’s transaction volumes increased and 
we continued to implement the contracts we have 
won. We see this trend continuing in FY21 with OSU, 
Northwestern and the recently won NYU Langone 
contract coming on stream. 

The trends we have previously identified as driving 
the industry are continuing unabated. Exponentially 
growing data sets and the increasing importance of 
images as part of a patient’s electronic health record 
(EHR) are fueling industry adoption of new systems. 
Visage 7 with its fast, highly modular and scalable 
technology is uniquely suited to dealing with these 
challenges.   We continue to see increasing interest 
in the new and exciting field of Artificial Intelligence 
(AI) whose technology shows real promise to 
improve radiological interpretation and workflow. 
We believe we are extremely well-positioned to take 
advantage of this trend as it develops.   

We finished the year financially stronger than ever, 
with cash reserves of $43.41 million, up 34.3% 
from $32.32 million.  As a result, we increased our 
dividends from 10.5 cents per share, fully franked, 
to 12.0 cents per share fully franked an increase of 
14.3%.  The company remains debt-free and believes 
it has sufficient reserves to internally fund both the 
organic growth of the business and additionally 
invest strongly in its future.

Key to this success are our staff who have ensured 
that is was “business as usual” despite the difficult 
conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic.  We 
thank them and our fellow directors for all their 
efforts throughout the year. We are very proud of 
what the company has achieved over the past 20 
years and look forward to building on our success in 
2021.

Yours faithfully 

Peter Kempen

Pro Medicus Limited [ASX: PME] is 
a leading health imaging IT provider. 
Founded in 1983, the company 
provides a comprehensive range of 
software and services to hospitals, 
imaging centres, and health care 
groups.   

VISAGE PRODUCTS
The company’s software solutions 
are branded as “Visage” and provide 
one of the most comprehensive, 
enterprise-level, end-to-end 
offerings¬ available in the radiology 
market today.

The Visage product line comprises 
solutions for RIS (Radiology 
Information Systems) / Practice 
Management, Healthcare Imaging and 
e-health.  These systems can be used 
either individually or in combination 
by radiologists and other medical 
imaging professionals to interpret 
the images created by medical 
imaging equipment such as X-Ray 
and Ultrasound machines and CT and 
MRI Scanners and communicate the 
results to their referring clinicians.

Visage software solutions are 
provided to customers as either 
on-premise where Visage software 
runs on computer infrastructure 
and networks provided by the 
customer or cloud based where the 
infrastructure is managed by a 3rd 
party cloud provider such as Google 
Cloud. Importantly, the company 
does not store client data with either 
solution.
RADIOLOGY INFORMATION 
SYSTEMS (RIS)
Visage RIS handles the entire patient 
encounter from the moment the 
appointment is scheduled through 
to the financial accounting for the 
visit. This includes interfacing with 
onsite medical imaging equipment 
and PACS/digital imaging systems as 
well as the production and electronic 
transmission of the clinical report.

Visage RIS provides radiology 
practices with a highly scalable, 
enterprise-level solution that 
incorporates powerful search 
capability and configurable workflow 
and rules engines to meet a broad 
range of customer’s needs.   Services 
include project management, 
implementation, training, and 
ongoing technical and end-user 
support.

E-HEALTH
The result of a radiological 
examination is a written report 
containing the radiologist’s 
interpretation.  The Company’s 
Internet-based e-health offering, 
promedicus.net, enables referring 
doctors to receive such clinical 
reports securely via the Internet to 
a centralised “in-tray” run on the 
doctor’s computer. These reports 
are then electronically incorporated 
into the patients’ medical records, 

doing away with the need for 
double handling or manual filing.  
Over 26,000 Australian doctors are 
registered users of promedicus.net.

HEALTHCARE IMAGING
In January 2009, the company 
acquired Visage Imaging, which 
has been transformed into a global 
provider of leading-edge Healthcare 
imaging and 3D PACS (Picture 
Archiving and Communication 
System) solutions.  The company’s 
Visage 7 product line incorporates 
highly optimised proprietary 
advanced visualization capability 
that delivers extremely fast, multi-
dimensional images streamed via the 
Visage 7 intelligent thin-client viewer.  
Visage 7 components can either be 
sold as a complete single vendor 
solution or individual components 
can be sold in a modular fashion as 
part of a best in breed offering.

THE VISAGE 7 ENTERPRISE 
VIEWER
This is the cornerstone of the Visage 
product set. It combines 3D/4D and 
advanced visualisation capabilities 
with the full gamut of 2D reading 
functionality creating a truly unique 
thin client streaming universal 
viewing platform.  This enables 
radiologists to read any type of 
examination from a 2D chest x-ray to 
a complicated 3D cardiac study as 
well as high-resolution photographic 
images and videos, all within the 
one enterprise viewer. The Visage 7 
Enterprise viewer can be interfaced 
with the Visage Open archive and 
Visage Workflow manager products 
as well as a broad range of third-
party vendor-neutral image archiving 
(VNA) databases and worklist 
products as part of a modular, 
interoperable solution. 

VISAGE EASE PRO 
(MOBILE)
Visage Ease Pro provides mobile 
app technology for diagnostic 
interpretation of medical images 
using iOS-based mobile devices. It is 
U.S. Food and Drug Administration 
(FDA) 510 (k) certified for all imaging 
modalities apart from mammography 
which requires higher screen 
resolution than current iOS devices 
can support. This enables clinicians 
to interpret images, no matter 
how large, anywhere using Visage 
technology. Visage Ease Pro includes 
numerous image manipulation 
features, display of non-DICOM (and 
non-diagnostic) images such as 
photos, support for recording voice 
memos, and the ability to upload 
photo attachments to studies on 
Visage 7.

VISAGE 7 OPEN ARCHIVE
The company introduced Visage 7 
Open Archive to the North American 
market in May 2017 with the offering 
built on the same ultrafast, highly 

scalable enterprise imaging platform 
used in Visage 7.  Coupled with a 
modular design based on open 
standards, Visage 7 Open Archive 
ensures maximum interoperability 
even in the most complex 
environments. The introduction 
of Visage 7 Open Archive enables 
the company to offer the choice of 
modular or single-vendor solutions.

VISAGE 7 WORKFLOW
Visage 7 Workflow is now available 
offering native worklist management 
that enables customers to unify 
workflow with the simplicity of an 
additional tab in the Visage 7 viewer. 
Customers have the choice of driving 
reading workflow from independent 
workflow platforms, EHR-driven 
workflow, or natively with Visage 7. 
The release of Visage 7 workflow 
allows customers to construct a 
single vendor Enterprise PACS 
solution based on Visage technology.

VISAGE IN THE CLOUD
Visage in the Cloud is the industry’s 
first cloud-engineered, server-
side platform for complete PACS 
operations. Leveraging the speed 
and functionality of the Visage 7 
viewer, Open archive and Workflow 
modules, it delivers the same ultrafast 
performance as on-premise Visage 
implementations, but with the added 
security and scale of the cloud.  
Visage in the Cloud is suitable for 
organisations of any size and can 
be adopted as a primary or backup 
imaging solution.

VISAGE 7 AI ACCELERATOR
Recent advances in machine learning, 
known as Artificial Intelligence (AI), 
have made possible the development 
and use of algorithms that can 
recognise complex patterns in 
medical images.  These algorithms 
are improved by a training process 
which compares their results against 
a pool of certified interpretations 
by expert radiologists.   Once 
validated, these algorithms need to 
be accessible to radiologists to assist 
their interpretation.  

In December 2019 the company 
announced its AI Accelerator 
program designed to harness 
the enormous potential of AI in 
radiology. AI Accelerator is an end-
to-end platform that spans the entire 
process from AI Research all the 
way through to commercialisation 
and the use of AI as an aide to 
diagnostic interpretation. Using the 
AI accelerator platform, the company, 
in conjunction with clinicians from 
Yale, was able to take its breast 
density AI project from research 
through to submission for FDA 
approval in approximately 10 months, 
substantially less time than it would 
otherwise have taken using traditional 
tools.

 THE YEAR IN

review

The company was pleased to mark the start of the 
financial year with its admission into the benchmark 
S&P/ASX 200 index.

Major rollouts of Visage RIS continued for key 
customers in Australia and in North America the 
company won three contracts and completed 
a number of large-scale implementations. The 
company also released two new products during 
the year; the Visage AI Accelerator platform and 
the Visage Workflow manager.

The company further cemented its position as the 
leading supplier of healthcare imaging solutions 
with 7 of the top 20 hospitals in North America 
(as voted by U.S. News Best Hospitals 20/21) 
standardising on the Visage 7 platform, significantly 
more than any other vendor.

AUSTRALIA
The company’s Australian operation undertakes 
research and development of the Visage RIS and 
e-health products as well as sales and service/
support functions of both Visage RIS and Visage 7 
products.

Visage 7 RIS continues to build on its position as 
the market leader for Enterprise RIS. Australian 
revenue increased by 19.2% from the previous year 
driven by the ongoing rollout of Visage RIS as part 
of long term (5-year) contracts with I-MED Network 
Radiology and Healius (previously known as 
Primary Health Care) as well as to new customers.

Promedicus.net, the company’s e-health offering 
experienced modest growth throughout the year 
despite increasing competition. 

NORTH AMERICA
The company’s North American team comprising 
sales, marketing, implementation and service/
support staff was a strong contributor to the 
group’s overall performance with revenue growing 
by 23.7% compared to the previous year. This was 
attributable to continued growth in transaction-
based revenue as existing client’s transaction 
volumes increased, and previously won contracts 
came on stream. 

Particularly pleasing was the rollout of the 
Mass General Brigham (Partners Healthcare) 
implementation in July 2019 which was completed 
in record time. In November 2019 the company 
won a A$9M, 5-year contract with the Ohio State 
University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC), a 
large multi-disciplinary academic medical centre 
located in Columbus, Ohio. Later that month, the 
company showcased two new products at RSNA-
2019 the premier industry conference - Visage 
Workflow Manager the Visage AI Accelerator 
platform.

In December 2019 the company signed a 5-year, 
A$6M cloud-based contract with Nines, a Palo Alto 
based startup looking to utilise AI in the advanced 
teleradiology space.

The company finished the year with one of its 
biggest sales to date, a 5 year A$22M deal with 

Chicago based Northwestern Memorial Healthcare 
(Northwestern) - a large, tier-one academic 
institution voted as one of the top 10 hospitals in 
North America.   

EUROPE
The Group’s employees in its Berlin office 
undertake research and development of Visage 
Imaging products worldwide as well as sales, 
marketing and service/support functions for the 
Group’s European operations. Revenue for software 
from our European operations was in line with 
expectations despite a decrease of 37.7% period-
on-period due to a one-off $3.049m capital sale to 
the German government in FY19.

COVID-19
2020 will be remembered for the COVID-19 
pandemic and for the company it was the year 
we went “virtual”.  We were able to seamlessly 
transition 100% of our global workforce to work 
from home by mid-March. Work has continued 
uninterrupted - implementations, customer 
support, sales demonstrations, sales pilots, training 
and product development all being done remotely 
ensuring business continuity.

Lockdowns and distancing measures have created 
a need for our customers to ensure radiologists 
and other clinical users can access images when 
and where needed, especially from home.  Visage 
7 is particularly suited to working remotely 
enabling even the largest studies to be viewed on-
demand without degradation in speed, fidelity or 
functionality even over consumer-grade Internet.

INTO THE

future

RAPIDLY GROWING NORTH AMERICAN 
FOOTPRINT

NEW EXPANDED PRODUCT SET - BEST IN BREED 
OR SINGLE VENDOR SOLUTIONS

ENTERPRISE IMAGING

VISAGE IN THE CLOUD

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – VISAGE AI 
ACCELERATOR

The Board and Management 
believe the company is extremely 
well-positioned for growth after 
making strong progress in the 
2020 financial year.  Key factors 
predicted to drive growth include:

EXPANDED GEOGRAPHICAL 
FOOTPRINT
Over the past year, the company 
continued to build on its presence 
in North America and Australia as 
well as consolidate its position in 
Europe. 
Our growing North American 
customer base comprises some of 
the largest and most prestigious 
health systems in the U.S., including 
7 of the top 20 ranked hospitals in 
the U.S. for 2020/2021 (U.S. News 
& World Report Honour Roll). The 
company believes it can continue 
to leverage its expanded footprint 
and increased market presence to 
drive further sales opportunities 
across all segments of the market 
including large Enterprise hospitals, 
private imaging centres and remote 
reading/teleradiology.

HIGHLY DIFFERENTIATED 
TECHNOLOGY
The company continues to 
maintain its significant ongoing 
investment in R&D for its flagship 
Visage 7 suite of products, which 
includes the Visage 7 One Viewer™, 
Visage 7 Open Archive and Visage 
Workflow manager, which we 
believe will continue to differentiate 
our offerings in the modular PACS, 
Enterprise viewer, and advanced 
visualisation space.
The Visage RIS platform is the 
culmination of many years of 
intense R&D effort and positions 
Pro Medicus at the forefront of RIS/
Practice Management technology.  
It is differentiated by its scalability, 
powerful search capability and 
ability to allow clients to configure 
their business-specific workflow 
and rules to meet their needs.   

INDUSTRY TRENDS
The company believes the North 
American market has reached 
a tipping point as a result of a 
number of significant industry 
trends that when combined, 
continue to drive demand for 
Visage 7 products.   

Explosion in image data size 
continues
With developments in imaging 
technology it is now common for a 
single examination image file to be 
in the order of 2 to 3 Gigabytes or 
larger. The introduction of Digital 
Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), a 
new form of 3D breast imaging, 
has added to the data explosion 
problem producing image files 
as large as 6 to 10 Gigabytes 
per examination.  Traditional 

PACS/Digital Imaging based on 
“compress and send” technology 
requires these files to be 
transferred across the network to 
the radiologist desktop in order to 
be visualised. This has created very 
significant network bottlenecks 
which have limited the widespread 
adoption and use of these new 
imaging technologies. 
Visage 7, with its unique server-side 
thin-client streaming technology, 
enables the radiologist or referring 
clinician to instantly visualize 
these very large datasets without 
having to move the images to their 
desktop thereby overcoming the 
bandwidth/ network bottleneck 
issue.   

Adoption of Electronic Health 
Records (EHR)
The U.S. Government as part of 
its Meaningful Use program has 
mandated U.S. health institutions 
to implement an enterprise-wide 
Electronic Health Record (EHR). 
Under this new model, all patient 
clinical data including images 
is entered into, and is accessed 
via, the EHR. This has resulted in 
a heightened focus on imaging 
as medical images both DICOM 
(radiology and cardiology) as well 
as non DICOM (photos and videos) 
now comprise a large and rapidly 
growing part of the medical record.
Visage 7, with its ability to display 
all of these image types within the 
one product, is well positioned to 
benefit from this rapidly evolving 
trend.

Flexibility of single vendor or 
best in breed or solutions
Visage 7, with its highly modular 
design can sold as part of “best in 
breed” solution or in conjunction 
with Visage 7 Open archive and 
Workflow manager as a highly 
scalable single vendor offering. This 
degree of flexibility enables the 
company to address the broadest 
range of market opportunities.

TRANSACTION BASED 
LICENCING 
The vast majority of the company’s 
contracts are now transaction or 
“pay per view” based.  This not 
only enables customers to more 
accurately align their investment 
in Visage to the size of their 
business but has the added benefit 
of creating significant ongoing 
revenue streams for the company.

ENTERPRISE IMAGING
The company continues to make 
significant investments in ongoing 
R&D to develop products including 
Visage 7 One Viewer. This extends 
the capability of Visage 7 beyond 
the realm of radiology enabling the 
viewing of DICOM (radiology) and 
non-DICOM images such as photos 

and HD videos (also described as 
medical multimedia objects) all in 
the one viewer. 

CLOUD
To date, most healthcare 
institutions have preferred on-
premise solutions, hosting their 
applications in their own or leased 
data centres however there is a 
rapidly growing trend towards 
the convenience, scalability 
and security of cloud-based 
infrastructure offered by tier 1 
cloud providers.
Visage in the Cloud is the industry’s 
first cloud-engineered, server-
side platform for complete PACS 
operations. Leveraging the speed 
and functionality of the Visage 7 
viewer, Open archive and Workflow 
modules, it delivers the same 
ultrafast performance as on-
premise Visage implementations, 
but with the added benefits 
of cloud.  Visage in the Cloud 
is suitable for organisations of 
any size and can be adopted as 
a primary or backup imaging 
solution.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 
(AI)
No trend looms larger on the 
horizon than the potential of 
machine learning or Artificial 
Intelligence (AI) to the field of 
Healthcare Imaging.
Visage is uniquely positioned 
to be the platform of choice for 
development of AI algorithms 
as well as providing the best 
environment in which the 
algorithms can run. During the 
year the company released its 
AI accelerator platform in order 
to harness the potential of AI in 
radiology. AI Accelerator is now 
being used by a number of top 
academic hospitals in the U.S. with 
others still to follow. The company 
believes this will open up a number 
of commercial opportunities in the 
AI space.
The first such opportunity is the 
Breast density algorithm the 
company developed with input 
from breast imaging specialists 
at Yale. The algorithm is currently 
pending FDA approval which, if 
granted, will be the company’s first 
fully commercialised AI project. 
The company anticipates that it 
will have further opportunities 
for AI collaboration and/or 
commercialisation.
The company also believes that 
it’s Visage 7 platform is ideally 
suited to displaying the output 
of AI companies allowing the 
seamless embedding of these new 
algorithms in the interpretation 
workflow of Visage 7, significantly 
enhancing their usability.

 ENVIRONMENTAL

social governance

The Pro Medicus Board and 
management recognises 
the importance of sound 
Environment, Social and 
Governance practices to 
provide the social licence for the 
company’s operations.
The company is a provider of 
software that facilitates better 
healthcare. Using the company’s 
Visage 7 suite of products, 
healthcare professionals can 
view diagnostic quality images 
on demand regardless of their 
size even over consumer grade 
internet. This coupled with the 
sophistication and functionality 
of Visage 7 provides unparalleled 
clinical capability thereby aiding 
the diagnostic process. Over the 
past year, millions of patients 
have had their healthcare 
imaging reviewed and diagnosed 
by radiologists using Visage 7 
software. 

Victorian Stroke Telemedicine 
Project
For the past two years, 
Pro Medicus has gifted the 
company’s Visage 7 software to 
the Victorian Stroke Telemedicine 
(VST) Program. The VST service, 
operating under the umbrella 
of Ambulance Victoria (AV), 
facilitates rapid clinical decision-
making and treatment of stroke 
by connecting rural and regional 
hospitals in Victoria and North 
West Tasmania to a 24/7, year-
round roster of Melbourne-based 
Neurologists.  
For a patient with acute stroke, 
every minute counts.  Visage 
7 with its thin client streaming 
technology, on-the-fly advanced 
3D functionality and ability 
to provide access anytime, 
anywhere, is ideally suited to 
the ongoing efforts in delivering 
the best care possible to stroke 
patients; irrespective of their 
location and the subsequent 
resource and accessibility 
challenges this may present.
Professor Christopher Bladin, 
Director of the Victorian Stroke 
Telemedicine (VST) Service 
explains:
“The Visage 7 viewer from Pro 
Medicus has had a significant 
impact on the Victorian Stroke 
Telemedicine service (VST). 
VST services 19 regional 
hospitals across Victoria and 
Northwest Tasmania. Patients 
with suspected acute stroke 
presenting to the Emergency 

Department receive multimodal 
CT imaging including CT 
angiography and CT perfusion. 
These generate large image files 
that must be transferred and 
evaluated very quickly. Visage 
has been a major advance for 
VST - it allows fast manipulation 
of images through its “Netflix-
like” process of streaming images 
from a central server to the VST 
consultant. Decisions can then 
be made quickly about stroke 
treatments such as thrombolysis 
(clot busting therapy) and 
endovascular clot retrieval (clot 
removal from a brain artery).”

Due to the positive response 
from the VST’s neurologists, Pro 
Medicus is continuing to support 
the VST in the next “phase” of 
this Project, with the installation 
of the Visage Enterprise Imaging 
Software within Ambulance 
Victoria’s own datacentre 
infrastructure.        

Community Contributions - 
Australian Bushfire Appeal
The tragedy of the Australian 
bushfire season motivated our 
staff in the U.S. to undertake 
fundraising in that country.

On behalf of the company a 
$25,000 donation was also 
shared amongst the following 
Australian organisations directly 
involved in bushfire recovery and 
repair.

NSW Rural Fire Service
This donation is aimed at 
assisting prevention of future 
fires through support of the NSW 
volunteer fire brigade.

Mallacoota District Health & 
Support Service
This donation aligns with our 
healthcare background and will 
assist the physical and emotional 
recovery of locals in the area.

Kangaroo Island Mayoral Relief 
and Recovery Bushfire Fund
Donations will be donated on 
merit by the fund with careful 
and fee-free oversight.

BlazeAid
A volunteer organisation that 
is rebuilding thousands of 
kilometres of fencing to allow 
farmers to manage and rebuild 
stock.  

Wisdom in Diagnostic Imaging 
program
Visage has been supporting 
the University of Florida 
Wisdom in Diagnostic Imaging 
program since 2016. This is an 
emergency medicine/critical care 
competency-based assessment 
program for radiology residents, 
powered by Visage 7, that 
has included hundreds of 
academic radiology programs 
and impacted the education of 
thousands of radiology residents. 
The Visage 7 Enterprise Imaging 
Platform software and Visage 
professional services are 
provided philanthropically, at no 
cost, in support of this worthy 
program. 

COVID-19 
Visage has also been actively 
supporting early research and 
philanthropic efforts spawned 
as a result of the COVID-19 
pandemic.

Radunited
Radunited.org is a philanthropic 
collaborative effort by academic 
radiologists, informaticists, and 
computer scientists, supported 
by Visage Imaging and Nuance 
to provide a platform to allow 
hospitals and communities in 
COVID affected areas to receive 
pro-bono radiological services.
The goal is to provide a cloud-
based platform to allow hospitals 
and communities in hard hit areas 
that need help, to be matched up 
with radiology departments with 
the capacity and desire to donate 
their services. Initially inspired 
to help support in the global 
COVID crisis, RadUnited can also 
be used for other emergencies 
and natural disasters, with 
lower middle-income countries 
(LMIC) the initial beneficiaries of 
RadUnited services. 
COVISAR – COVISAR (an 
acronym of COVID Visage 
and Archive) is a multisite 
collaboration led by Yale and 
Visage, intended to expand the 
technical template and approach 
to multiple institutional research 
for COVID and other disease 
domains. The immediate intent 
is to create a highly curated 
multi-center data repository 
of COVID-19 positive cases, 
including pertinent clinical 
information and annotated 
images to serve as the basis 
for multi-center, multi-organ, 
research projects. The program 
now has participation from a 
number of clinical partners.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT.

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS 
Investment Activities
Surplus funds which are held in several currencies 
are invested by the Group in a cash management, 
at-call accounts and term deposits to maximise the 
interest return.  

Performance Indicators
Management and the Board monitor overall 
performance, from the strategic plan through to the 
performance of the Group against operating plans 
and financial budgets.

The Board, together with management, have 
identified key performance indicators (KPIs) that 
are used to monitor performance. Key management 
monitor these KPIs on a regular basis and Directors 
receive appropriately structured board reports 
for review prior to each monthly Board meeting 
allowing them to actively monitor the Group’s 
performance.

Dynamics of the Business
Australia
The Group’s Australian employees undertake 
research and development of Pro Medicus products 
(RIS) as well as sales and service/support functions.

The Group’s Australian revenue increased by 19.2% 
compared to the previous year, with the rollout 
of the Healius (ex-Primary Health) contract and 
extension of its contract with I-MED being the main 
contributors to the increased revenue.

Promedicus.net, the company’s e-health offering, 
continued to hold its market position. 

North America
The North American team fulfil sales, marketing 
and professional services roles. Revenue from 
North America increased by 23.7% compared to 
the previous year. This was attributable to increase 
in transaction-based revenue from sales of Visage 
technology as more contracts came on stream.

Europe
The Group’s employees in its Berlin office undertake 
research and development of Visage Imaging 
products worldwide as well as sales, marketing and 
service/support functions for the Group’s European 
operations. Revenue for software from our 
European operations was in line with expectations 
despite a decrease of 37.7% period on period, as 
a result of a one-off $3.049m capital sale to the 
German government in FY19.

Financials

Reported profit after tax for the period was 
$23.08m an increase of 20.7% from the previous 
year.

Full year revenue of the Group increased from 
$50.11m to $56.82m, an increase of 13.4%. As the 
Group’s costs are relatively fixed, an increase in 
sales has a significant impact on profitability.

The key drivers of the profit increase were increases 

in transaction revenue in North American and as 
well as increased RIS sales in Australia.

The result from the underlying operations for the 
year was a pre-tax profit of $30.24m compared 
to an underlying pre-tax profit of $22.66m from 
the previous corresponding period, an increase of 
33.4%. The underlying profit comprises reported 
profit before tax of $30.02m and adding the net 
currency loss of $0.22m. The underlying profit 
from 2019, comprises of reported profit before tax 
of $26.12m less the currency gain of $0.41m and 
subtracting the one-off capital sale to the German 
government of $3.05m. 

During the period the Company continued to make 
strong inroads into the North American market 
winning key contracts with Ohio State University 
(A$9.0m – 5 year deal), a large multi-disciplinary 
academic medical center in Columbus, Ohio; 
Nines (A$6.0m – 5 year deal), a Palo Alto based 
teleradiology business; and Northwestern Memorial 
(A$22.0m – 5 year deal), a large, highly respected 
tier 1 academic hospital system in Chicago, Illinois. 
The Company also continued to make significant 
progress with all key implementations being on or 
ahead of schedule.

COVID-19
The company successfully transitioned its entire 
global operations to “work from home” in mid- 
March 2020 ensuring full continuity of all R&D and 
client support services. In addition, customer-facing 
activities including meetings with prospective 
clients, product demonstrations and training and 
implementation were performed remotely using 
a combination of the company’s own Visage 7 
technology and third party video conferencing 
tools, thereby enabling these activities to continue 
unabated throughout the period. 

Exam volumes, particularly in Australia and the 
US, declined during the last week in March 2020 
and into the first two weeks of April 2020 as 
clients deferred all elective, non-urgent radiology 
examinations. Since that period to the end of the 
financial year, volumes steadily increased to a 
level just below that of the months prior to COVID. 
The impact on the full year results is estimated 
to be that profit after tax would have been 
higher by approximately $1.2m, which equates to 
approximately 5% of underlying NPAT.

Investments for Future Performance
The Company will continue to direct resources into 
the development of new products and is committed 
to the continued development of its Visage RIS and 
Visage 7.0 product sets.

It is anticipated that this strategy of ongoing 
development will continue to position Pro Medicus 
as a market leader and enable the Group to further 
leverage its expanded product portfolio and 
geographical spread. 

The Group remains committed to providing 
staff with access to appropriate training and 
development programs, together with the 
resources to complete their duties.

The Directors express their gratitude for the efforts 
of the management team and all employees in 
achieving this year’s result.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Capital Structure
The Company has a sound capital structure with a 
strong financial position and is debt free.

Treasury Policy
The treasury function, co-ordinated within Pro 
Medicus Limited, is limited to maximising interest 
return on surplus funds and managing currency 
risk. The treasury function operates within policies 
set by the Board, which is responsible for ensuring 
that management’s actions are in line with Board 
policy. 

With the increase in overseas operations there is 
an increased currency risk as a consequence of 
contracts written in and cash being held in foreign 
currencies. Whilst this is offset to a degree by 
having operations in North America and Europe, 
this change in risk profile has been noted by the 
Board and steps have been taken to manage 
this risk, including taking out forward currency 
exchange contracts and currency options.

Cash from Operations
Net cash flows from operating activities for the 
current period was a positive $31.42m, with receipts 
from customers totalling $60.63m compared with 
payments of $19.92m to suppliers and employees. 
During the year the Company paid out a total of 
$10.92m in dividends, the net result being total cash 
assets of $43.41m; an increase of 34.3% from last 
year.

Liquidity and Funding
The Group is cash flow positive, has adequate cash 
reserves and has no overdraft facility. Sufficient 
funds are held to finance operations.

Risk Management
The Company takes a proactive approach to risk 
management. The Board is responsible for ensuring 
that risks, and also opportunities, are identified 
on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives 
and activities are aligned with the risks and 
opportunities identified by the Board.

The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board 
members to participate in this process, as such the 
Board has not established separate committees 
for areas such as risk management, environmental 
issues, occupational health and safety or treasury.

The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to 
ensure that management’s objectives and activities 
are aligned with the risks identified by the Board. 
These include the following:

•  Board approval of strategic plans, which 

encompass the Company’s vision, mission 
and strategy statements, designed to meet 
stakeholder needs and manage business risk;

•  Implementation of Board approved operating 

22

plans and budgets and Board monitoring of 
progress against these budgets, including the 
establishment and monitoring of KPIs; 

•  Overseeing of appropriate backup procedures 

for important company data; and

•  Routine review by key executives of its 

established Quality Assurance program and 
corrective action recommendations stemming 
from it.

Corporate Governance
In recognising the need for the highest standards 
of corporate behaviour and accountability, the 
Directors of Pro Medicus Limited support and 
have adhered to the principles of good corporate 
governance. Please refer to the separate “Corporate 
Governance” section for more details of specific 
policies.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE 
STATE OF AFFAIRS 
Shareholders’ equity increased by 22.1% from 
$49.29m to $60.18m. This movement was largely 
the result of profit during the year, offset by 
dividends paid out during the year.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER 
THE BALANCE DATE 
A Final Dividend of 6.0 cents per share has been 
declared post 30 June 2020. Please refer to Note 9 
of the financial statements.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS 
AND EXPECTED RESULTS 
The Directors anticipate that the 2021 financial 
year will see more opportunities crystallise for 
the company due to improved prospects in North 
America and the continued commercialisation 
and roll out of Visage RIS, the company’s new 
technology RIS platform.

Key components that are likely to affect the 
performance of the company are:

•  Increased revenue being generated from 

previously won transaction-based contracts 
which are scheduled to come on stream in the 
2021 financial year.

•  Continued strong interest in the Visage 7.0 
expanded suite of products in the North 
American market has resulted in a number of 
sales opportunities that the Company is actively 
pursuing.

•  The ability of the expanded Visage 7.0 product 
set to address key market segments such as 
large Health Systems and Hospitals in addition to 
the private radiology and teleradiology markets.

In order to maintain good corporate governance, 
the Non-Executive Directors assume responsibility 
for determining and reviewing compensation 
arrangements for the Executive Directors of 
the Group. The Executive Directors in turn are 
responsible for determining and reviewing the 
compensation arrangements for the Non-Executive 
Directors. The CEO, in conjunction with the full 
Board reviews the terms of employment for all 
executives.

The remuneration assessment considers the 
appropriateness of the nature and amount of 
remuneration of such executives on a periodic 
basis by reference to relevant employment market 
conditions with the overall objective of ensuring 
maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of 
a high quality Board and executive team. 

Remuneration Philosophy
The performance of the Group depends upon the 
quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, 
the Group must attract, motivate and retain highly 
skilled Directors and Executives.

To this end, the Group provides competitive 
rewards to attract high calibre Executives.

Remuneration Structure
In accordance with best practice corporate 
governance, the structure of Non-Executive 
Director and Executive remuneration is separate 
and distinct.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration
Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration 
at a level which provides the Company with the 
ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest 
calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable 
to shareholders.

Structure
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify 
that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive 
Directors shall be determined from time to time 
by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding 
the amount determined is then divided between 
the Non-Executive Directors as agreed. The latest 
determination was at the Annual General Meeting 
held on 4 November 2005 when shareholders 
approved an aggregate remuneration of $500,000 
per year.

The amount of the aggregate remuneration sought 
to be approved by shareholders and the manner 
in which it is apportioned amongst Non-Executive 
Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers 
fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable 
companies when undertaking the annual review 
process.

Each Non-Executive Director receives a fee for 
being a Director of the Company. No additional fee 
is paid for time spent on Audit Committee business.

Non-Executive Directors have long been 
encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the 
Company (purchased by the Non-Executive 

24

Director on market). It is considered good 
governance for the Non-Executive Directors to have 
a stake in the Company on whose Board they sit. 

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for 
the period ended 30 June 2020 is detailed in Table 
1 of this report.

Executives Remuneration
Objective
The Group aims to reward Executives with a level 
and mix of remuneration commensurate with their 
position and responsibilities within the Group and 
so as to:

•  align the interests of Executives with those of 

shareholders; and

•  ensure total remuneration is competitive by 

market standards.

Structure
Employment contracts have been entered into 
with all Executives of the Group. Details of these 
contracts are provided on page 26.

Remuneration consists predominately of fixed 
remuneration. Variable remuneration is provided 
occasionally at the Board’s discretion including 
both short term incentives (STI) and long term 
incentives (LTI).

The Company does not have a policy regarding 
Executives entering into contracts to hedge their 
exposure to share options granted as part of their 
remuneration package. 

Fixed Remuneration
Objective
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to 
provide a base level of remuneration which is both 
appropriate to the position and is competitive in 
the market.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually and 
the process consists of a review of Group-wide 
business and individual performance, relevant 
comparative remuneration in the market and 
internal and, where appropriate, external advice on 
policies and practices.

Executives, including Executive Directors, are given 
the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) 
remuneration in a variety of forms including cash 
and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and 
expense payment plans. It is intended that the 
manner of payment chosen will be optimal for 
the recipient without creating undue cost for the 
Group.

The fixed remuneration is detailed in Table 1 of this 
report.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONT.

Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (LTI)
Performance Rights

Former LTI Plan – Granted until FY2017
A long term incentive plan was established during 2011-12 whereby Senior Executives of the Group were 
offered performance rights over the ordinary shares of Pro Medicus Limited. The performance rights, 
issued for nil consideration, were offered over a 5 year period and vest 4 years after grant date on 
completion of service. This long term incentive plan includes performance hurdles related to profitability 
(EBIT – 75%) which was set on an annualised basis by the Board and individual performance (25%). 
These measures have been selected and set to align to Company performance and to reflect individual 
contribution to the Company.

The fair value of the equity-settled performance rights is estimated using a Black-Scholes model at grant 
date taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the performance rights were granted. For 
further details of valuation of options, models and assumptions used, refer to Note 19 of the financial 
statements.

The table below outlines the proportion to target of performance rights that were granted based on 
performance measures since the plan was established. No new grants were awarded during the year 
ended 30 June 2020, 2019 and 2018 under this long term incentive plan.

A share-based payment expense continues to be provided to certain Executives during the year ended 30 
June 2020 related to unvested tranches of this long term incentive plan.

Current LTI Plan – Granted from FY2017
A new long term incentive plan was established during 2016-17 whereby Senior Executives of the Group 
were offered performance rights over the ordinary shares of Pro Medicus Limited. The performance 
rights, issued for nil consideration, are offered on a year to year basis and vest 4 years after grant date 
on completion of service, with a 3 year performance period. This long term incentive plan includes 
performance hurdles related to profitability - Earnings per Share (EPS) growth (60%) which is set on an 
annualised basis by the Board and Total Shareholder Returns (TSR) growth (40%). The Company’s TSR 
growth performance hurdle is measured relative to the ASX300 Index (FY2017, FY2018 and FY2019) 
and measured relative to the ASX200 Index in FY2020 and assessed by the Board at the end of the 
performance period in accordance with the terms of the plan. These measures have been selected and set 
to align to Company performance and shareholder value.

The fair value of the equity-settled performance rights is estimated using Black Sholes and Monte Carlo 
Simulation Models at grant date taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the performance 
rights were granted. For further details of valuation of options, models and assumptions used please refer 
to Note 19 of the financial statements.

Key Performance Indicators
Actual STI payments granted to Executives under the individual target portion, depended on the extent 
to which specific targets set at the time of employment were met. The targets consist of a number of 
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering both financial (Sales Targets) and non-financial measures of 
performance, including client satisfaction, patent filings and employee satisfaction.

Shareholder Returns
The Directors are confident that the holdings of reserve cash is sufficient to underpin the development and 
expansion needs of the Company as the business looks to increase its penetration of existing markets.

Employment Contracts
Executive Directors
Executive Service Contracts, on similar terms and conditions, have been prepared for all Executive 
Directors of the Company.  

These agreements provide the following major terms:

•  Each Executive will receive a remuneration package per annum which is to be reviewed annually;

•  The agreements protect the Company and Group’s confidential information and provide that any 

inventions or discoveries of an Executive become the property of the Group;

•  Non-competition during employment and for a period of 12 months thereafter; and

•  Termination by the Company on six months’ notice or payment of six months remuneration in lieu of 
notice or a combination of both (or without notice or payment in lieu in the event of misconduct or 
other specified circumstances). The agreements may be terminated by the Executives on the giving of 
six months’ notice.

Executives (excluding Executive Directors)
All Executives have rolling contracts. The Group may terminate the Executive’s employment agreement 
by providing six months written notice or providing payment in lieu of the notice period (based on the 
fixed component of the Executive’s remuneration). The Group may terminate the contract at any time 
without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. Where termination with cause occurs the Executive 
is only entitled to that portion of remuneration that is fixed, and only up to the date of termination. On 
termination with cause any unvested options will immediately be forfeited.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Pro Medicus Limited (the 
Company) for the year ended 30 June 2020 was 
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution 
of Directors on 20 August 2020.

Pro Medicus Limited is a for profit company limited 
by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares 
are publicly traded on the Australian Securities 
Exchange.

The nature of the operations and principal activities 
of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation 
The financial report is a general-purpose financial 
report, which has been prepared in accordance 
with the requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other 
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards board. The financial report 
has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.

The financial report is presented in Australian 
dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest 
thousand dollars ($000) unless otherwise stated.

(b) Statement of compliance with IFRS 
The financial report complies with Australian 
Accounting Standards and International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board.

(c) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the 
financial statements of Pro Medicus Limited and its 
subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the Group). 
Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or 
has rights, to variable returns from its involvement 
with the investee and has the ability to affect 
those returns through its power over the investee. 
Specifically, the Group controls an investee 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.

When the Group has less than a majority of the 
voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group 
considers all relevant facts and circumstances in 
assessing whether it has power over an investee, 
including:

•  The contractual arrangement with the other vote 

holders of the investee

•  Rights arising from other contractual 

arrangements

•  The Group’s voting rights and potential voting 

rights

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls 
an investee if facts and circumstances indicate 
that there are changes to one or more of the three 
elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary 
begins when the Group obtains a control over the 
subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control 
of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and 
expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of 
during the year are included in the statement of 
comprehensive income from the date the Group 
gains control until the date the Group ceases to 
control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other 
comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the 
equity holders of the parent of the Group and to 
the non-controlling interests, even if this results 
in the non-controlling interests having a deficit 
balance. When necessary, adjustments are made 
to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring 
their accounting policies into line with the Group’s 
accounting policies. All intra-group assets and 
liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows 
relating to transactions between members of the 
Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, 
without a loss of control, is accounted for as an 
equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a 
subsidiary, it:

– 

– 

– 

– 

– 

– 

– 

 Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) 
and liabilities of the subsidiary.

 Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-
controlling interest.

 Derecognises the cumulative translation 
differences, recorded in equity.

 Recognises the fair value of the consideration 
received.

 Recognises the fair value of any investment 
retained.

 Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or 
loss.

 Reclassifies the parent’s share of components 
previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss 
or retained earnings, as would be required if 
the Group had directly disposed of the related 
assets or liabilities.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred 
by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at 
the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the 
fair value of the contingent consideration which is 
deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised 
in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments 
either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive

income. If the contingent consideration is classified 
as equity, it shall not be remeasured.

(d) New accounting standards and 
interpretations
The accounting policies adopted are consistent 
with those of the previous financial year except the 
adoption of new standards effective as of 1 July 
2019. The group has not early adopted any other 
standard, interpretation or amendment that has 
been issued but is not yet effective. 

New and revised standards and amendments 
thereof and interpretations effective for the Group 
from 1 July 2019 include:

•  AASB 16 Leases 

The details and impact of the adoption of AASB 
16 Leases is disclosed below in Note 2(d)(i). 

•  AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over 

Income Tax Treatments 
Details of AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty 
over Income Tax Treatments is disclosed in Note 
2(d)(ii). The adoption of this interpretation did 
not have any impact on the disclosures or the 
amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated 
financial statements. 

•  AASB 2018-1 Amendments to Australian 

Accounting Standards - Annual Improvements 
2015- 2017 Cycle  
The adoption of this amending standard did 
not have any impact on the disclosures or the 
amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated 
financial statements.

•  AASB 2018-2 Amendments to Australian 

Accounting Standards - Plan Amendment, 
Curtailment or Settlement 
The adoption of this amending standard did 
not have any impact on the disclosures or the 
amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated 
financial statements.

(i) AASB 16 Leases

The Group has adopted AASB 16 Leases (“AASB 
16”) supersedes AASB 117 Leases (“AASB 117”), 
AASB Interpretation 4 Determining whether an 
Arrangement contains a Lease, AASB Interpretation 
115 Operating Leases-Incentives and AASB 
Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of 
Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

AASB 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, 
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases 
and requires lessees to account for most leases 
under a single on-balance sheet model.

The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the 
modified retrospective method of adoption with 
the date of initial application being 1 July 2019. The 
reclassifications and adjustments arising from the 
transition to AASB 16 are therefore recognised in 
the opening statement of financial position at 1 
July 2019. As the Group has adopted the modified 
retrospective method, there was no restatement of 
comparative information

36

Nature of the effect of adoption of AASB 16
The Group is, or has been in the relevant period, 
lessee under lease contracts for office premises and 
motor vehicles.

Before the adoption of AASB 16, the Group 
classified each of its leases at the inception date 
as either a finance lease or an operating lease. All 
of the Group’s leases were classified as operating 
leases under AASB 117. 

Upon adoption of AASB 16, the Group applied a 
single recognition and measurement approach for 
all leases that it is lessee. AASB 16 provides specific 
transition requirements and practical expedients, 
which has been applied by the Group.

•  Leases previously classified as operating leases

The Group recognised right-of-use assets and 
lease liabilities for those leases previously classified 
as operating leases, except for short-term leases 
and leases of low-value assets. Lease liabilities 
were recognised based on the present value of 
the remaining lease payments, discounted using 
the incremental borrowing rate at the initial date 
of application being 1 July 2019. The right-of-use 
assets for leases were recognised at an amount 
equal to the lease liability at the initial date of 
application, adjusted for previously recognised 
prepaid or accrued lease payments.

Application of practical expedients
In applying AASB 16 at the initial date of application 
being at 1 July 2019, the Group has applied the 
available practical expedients:

•  Excluded initial direct costs for the measurement 

of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial 
application; and

•  Relied on its assessment of whether leases are 
onerous immediately before the date of initial 
application.

Effect of adopting AASB 16 at 1 July 2019
The effect of adopting AASB 16 is as follows:

There is no impact on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of cash 
flows, and basic and diluted earnings per share for the comparative period as the Group elected to adopt 
the modified retrospective approach to transitioning to AASB 16.

The lease liabilities as at 1 July 2019 can be reconciled to the operating lease commitments as at 30 June

Summary of new accounting policies
Set out below are the new accounting policies of 
the Group upon adoption of AASB 16, which have 
been applied from the date of initial application at 1 
July 2019.

•  Right of use assets

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the 
commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the 
underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use 
assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted 
for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost 
of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease 
liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, 
and lease payments made at or before the relevant 
commencement date less any lease incentives 
received. Unless the Company is reasonably certain 
to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end 
of the relevant lease term, the recognised right-of-
use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the 
relevant lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject 
to impairment.

•  Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the relevant lease, 
the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at 
the present value of lease payments to be made 
over the lease term. The lease payments include 
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed 
payments) less any lease incentives receivable, 
variable lease payments that depend on an index 
or a rate (initially measured using the index or 
rate as at the relevant commencement date), and 
amounts expected to be paid under residual value 
guarantees. The lease payments also include the 
exercise price of a purchase option reasonably 
certain to be exercised by the Group and payments 
of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease 
term reflects the Group exercising the option 
to terminate. The Group applies the practical 
expedient to not separate non-lease components 
from lease components, and instead accounts for 
each lease component and any associated lease 
components as a single lease component.

The variable lease payments that do not depend on 
an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the 
period on which the event or condition that triggers 
the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, 
the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate 
at the relevant lease commencement date if the 
interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily 
determinable. After the relevant commencement 
date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to 
reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for 
the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying 
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there 
is a modification, a change in the lease term, a 
change in the in-substance fixed lease payments 
or a change in the assessment to purchase the 
underlying asset.

38

•  Significant judgements

The Group has made the following significant 
judgements with respect to its leases as lessee:

•  Determining the lease term of contracts with 

renewal options
The Group determines the lease term as the 
non-cancellable term of the lease, together with 
any periods covered by an option to extend the 
lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or 
any periods covered by an option to terminate 
the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be 
exercised.

Under some of its property leases, the Group 
is able to continually exercise the option to 
extend the term of the lease. The Group applies 
judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably 
certain to exercise the option to renew. That 
is, it considers all relevant factors that create 
an economic incentive for it to exercise the 
renewal. After the commencement date, the 
Group reassesses the lease term if there is a 
significant event or change in circumstances 
that is within its control and affects its ability to 
exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew 
(i.e. a change in business strategy). The Group 
has included reasonably certain renewal options 
as part of the lease term for its property leases 
ranging from 5 to 10 years.

•  Determining the incremental borrowing rate

The Group has applied judgement to determine 
the incremental borrowing rate, which affects the 
amount of lease liabilities or right-of-use assets 
recognised. The Group reassesses and applies 
the incremental borrowing rate on a lease by 
lease basis at the relevant lease commencement 
date based on the term of the lease (or the 
remaining term of the lease at the initial date of 
application).

(ii)  (ii)  AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over 
Income Tax Treatments

AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income 
Tax Treatments (“AASB Interpretation 23”) 
addresses the accounting for income taxes when 
tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects 
the application of AASB 12 Income Taxes (“AASB 
12”). It does not apply to taxes or levies outside 
the scope of AASB 12, nor does it specifically 
include requirements relating to interest and 
penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. 
AASB Interpretation 23 specifically addresses the 
following: 

•  Whether an entity considers uncertain tax 

treatments separately 

•  The assumptions an entity makes about the 
examination of tax treatments by taxation 
authorities 

•  How an entity determines taxable profit (tax 

loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax 
credits and tax rates

•  How an entity considers changes in facts and 

circumstances 

The Group determines whether to consider each 
uncertain tax treatment separately or together 
with one or more other uncertain tax treatments 
and uses the approach that better predicts the 
resolution of the uncertainty. 

Upon adoption of AASB Interpretation 23, the 
Group considered whether it has any uncertain 
tax positions. The Group determined, based on 
its tax compliance that it is probable that its 
tax treatments will be accepted by the taxation 
authorities.

AASB Interpretation 23 did not have an impact on 
the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, 
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the financial statements requires 
management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in 
the financial statements. Management continually 
evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation 
to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue 
and expenses. Management bases its judgements 
and estimates on historical experience and on other 
various factors it believes to be reasonable under 
the circumstances, the result of which form the 
basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities 
that are not readily apparent from other sources. 
Actual results may differ from these estimates 
under different assumptions and conditions.

Management has identified the following 
critical accounting policies for which significant 
judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. 
Actual results may differ from these estimates 
under different assumptions and conditions and 
may materially affect financial results or the 
financial position reported in future periods.

Further details of the nature of these assumptions 
and conditions may be found in the relevant notes 
to the financial statements.

(i) Significant accounting judgements, estimates 
and assumptions

Capitalisation of development costs:
Development costs are only capitalised by the 
Group when it can be demonstrated that the 
technical feasibility of completing the intangible 
asset is valid so that the asset will be available for 
use or sale.

The capitalisation of development costs includes 
an overhead rate which has been estimated 
from total costs. The estimated development 
overheads rate has been calculated by dividing the 
development labour costs over total labour costs to 
give a percentage of development labour rate. The 
development labour rate is then applied against 
the total overheads of the company, to give an 
estimate of the amount of overheads that relates to 
development.

Impairment of non-financial assets:
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. If an impairment 

trigger exists the recoverable amount of the asset is 
determined. Management has tested certain assets 
for impairment in this financial period. Refer to 
Note 14 of the financial statements for significant 
assumptions applied in assessing for impairment on 
non-financial assets.

Taxation:
The Group’s accounting policy for taxation requires 
management’s judgement as to the types of 
arrangements considered to be a tax on income in 
contrast to an operating cost. Judgement is also 
required in assessing whether deferred tax assets 
and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised 
on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax 
assets, including those arising from un-recouped 
tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, 
are recognised only where it is considered more 
likely than not that they will be recovered, which is 
dependent on the generation of sufficient future 
taxable profits. Deferred tax liabilities arising from 
temporary differences in investments, caused 
principally by retained earnings held in foreign tax 
jurisdictions, are recognised unless repatriation of 
retained earnings can be controlled and are not 
expected to occur in the foreseeable future.

Assumptions about the generation of future 
taxable profits and repatriation of retained earnings 
depend on management’s estimates of future cash 
flows. These depend on estimates of future sales 
volumes, operating costs, capital expenditure, 
dividends and other capital management 
transactions. Judgements are also required about 
the application of income tax legislation. These 
judgements and assumptions are subject to risk 
and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that 
changes in circumstances will alter expectations, 
which may impact the amount of deferred tax 
assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised on 
the statement of financial position and the amount 
of other tax losses and temporary differences not 
yet recognised. In such circumstances, some or all 
of the carrying amounts of recognised deferred 
tax assets and liabilities may require adjustment, 
resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the 
statement of comprehensive income.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible 
temporary differences as management considers 
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be 
available to utilise those temporary differences.

Income taxes:
The group is subject to income taxes in Australia 
and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations. 
Significant judgement is required in determining 
the worldwide provision for income taxes. There 
are many transactions and calculations during 
the ordinary course of business for which the 
ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group 
recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues 
based on estimates of whether additional taxes 
will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these 
matters is different from the amounts that were 
initially recorded, such differences will impact the 
current and deferred tax provisions in the period in 
which such determination is made.

PRO MEDICUS ANNUAL REPORT 2020 
 
 
Management will also consider other factors in 
determining operating segments such as the 
existence of a line manager and the level of 
segment information presented to the Board of 
Directors.

Operating segments have been identified based 
on the information provided to the chief operating 
decision makers – being the executive management 
team.

The Group aggregates two or more operating 
segments when they have similar economic 
characteristics and the segments are similar in each 
of the following respects:

•  Nature of the products and services

•  Type or class of customer for the products and 

services

•  Nature of the regulatory environment

Operating segments that meet the quantitative 
criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported 
separately. However, an operating segment that 
does not meet the quantitative criteria is still 
reported separately where information about the 
segment would be useful to users of the financial 
statements.

Inter-entity sales are recognised based on an 
internally set transfer price. The price aims to reflect 
what the business operation could achieve if they 
sold their output and services to external parties at 
arm’s length.

Net investment in foreign operations:
The Group maintains inter-company loans it 
assesses to represent a part of its net investment 
in its foreign operations. The judgements made in 
assessing these loans to represent net investments 
are on the basis the loans are neither planned nor 
likely to be settled within the foreseeable future, 
the loans do not include trade receivables or trade 
payable and the loans represent a return of funds 
from their investment in the respective subsidiaries..

Share-based payments:
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled 
transactions with employees by reference to the 
fair value of equity instruments at the date at which 
they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-
based payment transactions requires determination 
of the most appropriate valuation model, which 
is dependent on the terms and conditions of the 
grant. This estimate also requires determination 
of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation 
model including the expected life of the share 
option/performance rights, volatility and dividend 
yield and making assumptions about them. The 
assumptions and models used for estimating fair 
value of share-based payment transactions are 
disclosed in Note 19.

Revenue recognition
Refer to Note 5 for significant judgements with 
respect to revenue recognition.

4. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group has identified its operating segments 
based on the internal reports that are reviewed 
and used by the executive management team 
(the chief operating decision makers) in assessing 
performance and in determining the allocation of 
resources.

The operating segments are identified by 
management based on country of origin. Discrete 
financial information is reported to the executive 
management team on at least a monthly basis.

Impairment of intangible assets is not monitored at 
a segment level.

Types of products and services
The Group produces integrated software 
applications for the health care industry. In 
addition, the Group provides services in the form of 
installation and support.

Accounting policies and inter-segment 
transactions
An operating segment is a component of an entity 
that engages in business activities from which it 
may earn revenues and incur expenses (including 
revenues and expenses relating to transactions 
with other components of the same entity), whose 
operating results are regularly reviewed by the 
entity’s chief operating decision maker to make 
decisions about resources to be allocated to the 
segment and assess its performance and for which 
discrete financial information is available. This 
includes start-up operations which are yet to earn 
revenues.

5. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The Group’s contracts with customers comprise multiple goods and services, typically with specific fixed 
or variable consideration receivable, including:

•  Installation and professional services;

•  Product licences;

•  Transactional services, including image viewing and image archiving; and

•  Support services, including updates and upgrades to the product licence.

The Group’s contracts with customers also comprise of multiple activities in order to provide customers 
with the specified product. The nature of the Group’s products requires significant integration of various 
goods and services promised in contracts that represent a combined output – being the offered product. 
The multiple goods or services in the contract are highly interrelated and are integral in combination to the 
performance of the product.

The Group has determined that within its contracts with customers there is one performance obligation of 
delivering a specified product given:

•  The Group provides a significant service of integrating the goods or services with other goods or 

services promised in the contract. The combined output – being the offered product – represents a 
bundle of the Group’s various goods or services;

•  Goods or services (i.e. installation, product licence, transaction services and support services) are highly 
interrelated and integral to the performance of the product. The Group could not fulfil its performance 
obligation of delivering a specified product by transferring each of the goods or services independently; 
and

•  Only the Group can provide product installation, transactional services and support (including 
significant updates/upgrades) services to customers of product licences, given the associated 
intellectual property of the product owned by the Group.

Revenue from multi-element contracts is recognised over the term of the contract, commencing when the 
product is ready for use following the installation and establishment of the product licence on the basis 
that:

•  Customers have no alternate use for the Group’s products outside of the contract period; and

•  The Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date during the period of 

the contract.

Revenue is recognised by reference to the satisfaction of the one performance obligation using the input 
method. The input method is applied based on the elapsed term of the contract in comparison to the 
length of the total contract term from when the product is ready for use by the customer until the licence 
and support periods end.

The Group receives consideration for certain elements of product contracts that is based on transaction 
volumes and dependent upon customer activity. Such consideration is recognised as revenue as the 
customer activity occurs over the term of the contract and the Group becomes entitled to payment. 

Directly attributable commissions paid to employees of the Group for obtaining contracts are initially 
capitalised as a contract asset and recognised within salaries and employee benefits expense over time 
as revenue from the related contract is recognised. The carrying value of contract assets are assessed for 
impairment at each reporting date.

•  Product updates/upgrades received by the customer over the contract period are frequent and 

significant to the performance and compliance of the products with relevant regulatory authorities;

Payments received in advance of the commencement of the term of the contract is initially deferred 
as contract liabilities (refer to Note 16). Some contracts contain minimum annual volume amounts for 
transactional services that are recognised as revenue in advance of billing and disclosed as accrued 
revenue. 

During the year ended 30 June 2019, the Group entered into a bespoke contract to provide a certain 
customer with a perpetual licence to use a product, irrespective of the customer’s transactional activity. 
Support services are sold to the customer, at the customer’s discretion, in separate short-term contracts. 
The pricing for these support services contracts are at normal commercial terms.

**The Group’s total wages and salaries incurred was $16,823,000 (2019: $15,197,000) of which $5,893,000 (2019: 
$5,624,000) of these costs have been capitalised as development costs within intangible assets.

***91,292 performance rights were granted on 16 September 2019 under the Group’s long-term incentive plan. The 
performance rights vest in accordance with performance conditions related to earnings per share (“EPS”) and total 
shareholder returns (“TSR”) after completion of a service condition being 4 years from the grant date. The fair value of 
the performance rights at grant date were TSR hurdle - $2.85 and EPS hurdle - $13.58 per performance. The amount 
of share-based payment expense for the year ended 30 June 2020 takes into consideration the probability of certain 
performance conditions vesting.

7. INCOME TAX 

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and 
prior periods are measured at the amount expected 
to be recovered from or paid to the taxation 
authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to 
compute the amount are those that are enacted or 
substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary 
differences at the reporting date between the tax 
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying 
amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all 
taxable temporary differences, except: 

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are 
reassessed at each reporting date and are 
recognised to the extent that it has become 
probable that future taxable profit will allow the 
deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are 
measured at the tax rates that are expected to 
apply to the year when the asset is realised or the 
liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax 
laws) that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted at the reporting date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly 
in equity are recognised in equity and not in the 
statement of comprehensive income.

•  where the deferred income tax liability arises 
from the initial recognition of an asset or 
liability in a transaction that is not a business 
combination and, at the time of the transaction, 
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable 
profit or loss.

•  when the taxable temporary difference is 

associated with investments in subsidiaries, 
associates or interests in joint ventures, and 
the timing of the reversal of the temporary 
difference can be controlled and it is probable 
that the temporary difference will not reverse in 
the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all 
deductible temporary differences, carry forward 
of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the 
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be 
available against which the deductible temporary 
differences, and the carry-forward of unused 
tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised, 
except:

•  where the deferred income tax asset relating to 
the deductible temporary difference arises from 
the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a 
transaction that is not a business combination 
and, at the time of the transaction, affects 
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit 
or loss.

•  when the deductible temporary difference is 
associated with investments in subsidiaries, 
associates or interests in joint ventures, in which 
case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to 
the extent that it is probable that the temporary 
difference will reverse in the foreseeable future 
and taxable profit will be available against which 
the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets 
is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced 
to the extent that it is no longer probable that 
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow 
all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be 
utilised.

Unrecognised temporary differences
At 30 June 2020, the Group has not recognised 
deferred tax liabilities associated with the Group’s 
investments in subsidiaries being recognised as the 
parent is able to control the timing of the reversal 
of any temporary differences and it is not probable 
any temporary difference will reverse in the 
foreseeable future.

Tax consolidation legislation
Pro Medicus Limited and its wholly-owned 
Australian controlled entities implemented the tax 
consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2009. Members 
of the tax consolidated group have entered into a 
tax funding agreement.

The head entity, Pro Medicus Limited, and the 
controlled entities in the tax consolidated group 
continue to account for their own current and 
deferred tax amounts under the tax funding 
agreement. The Group applies the Group allocation 
approach to determining the appropriate amount 
of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate 
to members of the tax consolidated group. An 
allocation of income tax liabilities between the 
entities of the tax consolidated group will be 
made should the head entity default on its tax 
payment obligations. No such amounts have been 
recognised in the financial statements on the basis 
that the possibility of default is remote.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax 
amounts, Pro Medicus Limited also recognises the 
current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred 
tax assets arising from unused tax losses and 
unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities 
in the tax consolidated group.

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group, adjusted to 
exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) divided by the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group adjusted for: 

• 

• 

 The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have 
been recognised as expenses

 Other non-discretionary changes in revenue or expenses during the period that would result from the 
dilution of potential ordinary shares 

•  Dilutive potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus element

and then divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.

subject to an insignificant risk of changes of value.

Cash at bank earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates.

Short term deposits are made for varying periods, depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group, 
and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates.

Fair value approximates carrying value due to the short term nature of receivables. 

A provision for impairment is made based on applying a simplified approach in calculating the expected 
credit losses (“ECL”) for debtors and other receivables (including accrued revenue). Therefore, the 
Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises an ECL allowance based on lifetime 
ECL at each reporting date. The Group’s provisioning methodology is based on its historical credit 
loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to individual debtors and the economic 
environment. Debtors and other receivables (including accrued revenue) are written off when there is no 
reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. 

a) Allowance for impairment loss

Movements in the provision for impairment loss were as follows:

At 1 July

Charge to/(write back of) provision for the year

Utilised during the year

Foreign exchange translation

At 30 June

The charge to the allowance for expected credit losses during the year ended 30 June 2020 reflects a 
change in expected losses for a specific debtor arising during the year that did not exist in the prior year 
or at date of transition to AASB 9 Financial Instruments.

At June 30, the ageing analysis of trade receivables is as follows:

No allowance for expected credit losses at 30 June 2020 was made as all outstanding debts were 
expected to be received. 

The majority of customers are on terms of between 30 to 60 days, however certain customers have 
terms of up to 90 days.  Payment terms for $2,455,658 (2019: $4,434,798) of trade receivables have pre-
contracted extended trading terms and are due within the next 12 months.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of finished goods represents 
the purchase cost.

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

13. PLANT & EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are 
expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net 
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive 
income in the period the item is derecognised.

Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with 
recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
value may be impaired.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is 
determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the 
assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in 
use. 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.

14. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets acquired separately are initially 
measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset 
acquired in a business combination is its fair 
value as at date of acquisition. Following initial 
recognition, intangible assets with a finite life are 
carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation 
and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis 
over the estimated useful life of the asset. 

Intangible assets, excluding development costs, 
created within the business are not capitalised and 
expenditure is charged against profits in the period 
in which the expenditure is incurred.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where 
an indicator of impairment exists, either individually 
or at the cash generating unit level. The recoverable 
amount is estimated and an impairment loss is 
recognised to the extent that the recoverable 
amount is lower than the carrying value.

The amortisation period and method is renewed 
at each financial year end and adjustments, where 
applicable, are made on a prospective basis. 

Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred.

An intangible asset arising from development 
expenditure on an internal project is recognised 
only when the group can demonstrate the technical 
feasibility of completing the intangible asset so 
that it will be available for sale or use, its intention 
to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, 
how the asset will generate future economic 
benefits, the availability of resources to complete 
the development and the ability to measure reliably 
the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset 
during its development. Following initial recognition 
of the development expenditure, the cost model is 
applied requiring the asset be carried at cost less 

any accumulated amortisation and accumulated 
impairment losses. Any expenditure so capitalised 
is amortised on a straight line basis over the period 
of expected benefit from the related project  
(5 years).

Development expenditure includes costs of 
materials and services and salaries and wages 
and other employee related costs arising from the 
generation of the intangible asset.

The carrying value of an intangible asset arising 
from development expenditure is tested for 
impairment annually when the asset is not yet 
available for use or more frequently when an 
indication of impairment arises during the reporting 
period.

Intellectual Property – Software
Three separately identifiable intangible assets, 
in the form of software intellectual property, 
have previously been identified in the business 
acquisition of Visage Imaging:

•  Visage PACS

•  Visage MagicWeb and 

•  Amira

Following initial recognition, Intellectual property 
is measured at cost less any accumulated 
amortisation. A useful life of 5 years has been 
determined.

Software Licenses
The Group identified a separate intangible asset 
in the form of software licenses, in the business 
acquisition of Visage Imaging.

Following initial recognition, software licenses 
are measured at cost less any accumulated 
amortisation. A useful life of 4 years has been 
determined.

i) Intellectual property was acquired through previous business combinations and is carried at cost less 
accumulated amortisation. These intangible assets have been assessed as having a finite life and have 
been fully amortised using the straight-line method over a period of 5 years.

ii) Development costs have been capitalised. This intangible asset has been assessed as having a finite life 
and is amortised using the straight-line method over a period of 5 years. As at 30 June 2020 the carrying 
values of capitalised development costs are Visage PACS ($13,214,598) RIS ($5,483,667) and Visage 
MagicWeb ($140,783), all sit within the Australian operating segment.

Impairment
The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with 
recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
value may be impaired.

If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the 
intangible assets or cash-generating units are written down to their 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.

No impairment loss was recognised during the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: nil impairment loss).

15. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES 

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and

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.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision 
to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance 
contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a 
separate asset but only when the reimbursement 
is virtually certain. The expense relating to 
any provision is presented in the statement of 
comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

Employee leave benefits
Provision is made for employee entitlement 
benefits accumulated as a result of employees 
rendering services up to the reporting date.

(i) Annual leave and sick leave
The liability for annual 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. 
Consideration is given to expected future wage and 
salary levels, experience of employee departures, 
and periods of service. Expected future payments 
are discounted using market yields at the reporting 
date on high quality corporate bonds with terms 
to maturity and currencies that match, as closely 
as possible the estimated future cash outflows. 
Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are 
recognised when the leave is taken and are 
measured at the rates paid.

(ii) Long service leave
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. 
Consideration is given to expected future wage and 
salary levels, experience of employee departures, 
and periods of service. Expected future payments 
are discounted using market yields at the reporting 
date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to 
maturity and currencies that match, as closely as 
possible the estimated future cash outflows.

The share reserve is used to record the value of 
share based payments provided to employees, 
including KMP, as part of their remuneration. Refer 
to Note 19 for further details of these plans.

(ii) Foreign currency translation reserve

The foreign currency translation reserve is used 
to record exchange differences arising from the 
translation of the financial statements of foreign 
subsidiaries and for exchange differences arising 
from long term loan accounts resulting from net 
investment in subsidiaries.

Capital Management
When managing capital, management’s objective 
is to ensure the entity continues as a going 
concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to 
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 
Management also aims to maintain a capital 

structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital 
available to the entity.

Management review the capital structure to take 
advantage of favourable costs of capital or high 
returns on assets. As the market is constantly 
changing, management may change the amount of 
dividends to be paid to shareholders, return capital 
to shareholders, or issue new shares.

During the year, the company paid dividends of 
$10,915,959 (2019: $9,843,585). 

19. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS 
(i) Equity settled transactions:

The Group provides benefits to its employees 
(including KMP) in the form of share-based 
payments, whereby employees render services in 
exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-
settled transactions).

Performance Rights
Former Long Term Incentive (LTI) Scheme
A long term incentive plan was established on 
18 November 2011 whereby Senior Executives of 
the Group were offered performance rights over 
the ordinary shares of Pro Medicus Limited. The 
performance rights, issued for nil consideration, 
are offered for a 5 year period and vest 4 years 
after granting date on completion of service. The 
performance rights cannot be transferred and will 
not be quoted on the ASX. This long term incentive 
plan includes performance hurdles related to the 
Company and vesting conditions relating to the 
employee’s period of service. 

Current Long Term Incentive (LTI) Scheme
A new long term incentive plan was established 
during 2016-17 whereby Senior Executives of 
the Group were offered performance rights over 
the ordinary shares of Pro Medicus Limited. The 
performance rights, issued for nil consideration, 
are offered for a 12 month period and vest 4 years 
after granting date on completion of service. The 
performance rights cannot be transferred and will 
not be quoted on the ASX. This long term incentive 
plan includes performance hurdles related to the 
Company and vesting conditions relating to the 
employee’s period of service. 

During the reporting period, 91,292 performance 
rights have been granted with a grant date of 16 
September 2019. The performance rights vest over 
4 years from grant date on completion of service. 
The fair value of these 91,293 performance rights at 
grant date was $847,691 (TSR hurdle - $2.85, EPS 
hurdle - $13.58 per performance right). 

241,250 performance rights were granted in 
prior periods in relation to the 2018-19 financial 
performance. The performance rights vest over 4 
years from grant date on completion of service. 
The fair value of these 241,250 performance rights 
at grant date was $719,551 (TSR hurdle - $1.10, EPS 
hurdle - $4.24 per performance right). 

330,021 performance rights were granted in prior periods in relation to the 2017-18 financial performance. 
The performance rights vest over 4 years from grant date on completion of service. The fair value of 
these 330,021 performance rights at grant date was $564,707 (TSR hurdle - $0.72, EPS hurdle - $2.37 per 
performance right).  

320,492 performance rights were granted in prior periods in relation to the 2016-17 financial performance. 
90,000 performance rights from Tranche 1 vest over 4 years from grant date on completion of service. The 
fair value of these 90,000 performance rights at grant date was $439,326 ($4.88 per performance right). 
A further 180,492 performance rights from Tranche 2 vest over 4 years from grant date on completion 
of service. The fair value of these 180,492 performance rights at grant date was $326,003 (TSR hurdle 
- $0.85, EPS hurdle - $2.45 per performance right). The remaining 50,000 performance rights vest in 
September 2017 and the fair value of these rights was $44,500 ($0.89 per performance right). 

414,375 performance rights were granted in prior periods in relation to the 2015-16 financial performance. 
364,376 performance rights vest over 4 years from grant date on completion of service. The fair value of 
the 364,376 performance rights at grant date was $721,463 ($1.98 per performance right). The remaining 
50,000 performance rights vest in September 2016 and the fair value of these rights was $44,500 ($0.89 
per performance right).

Weighted average remaining contractual life 
The weighted average remaining contractual life for performance rights at 30 June 2020 is 2.2 years (2019: 
2.4 years) 

Performance rights pricing model (Former Long Term Incentive Scheme)
The fair value of the equity-settled performance rights granted under the former long term incentive 
scheme is estimated as at the date of the grant using a Black Scholes Model taking into account the terms 
and conditions upon which the performance rights were granted.

There were no rights granted under the former long term incentive scheme during the period.

Performance rights pricing model (Current Long Term Incentive Scheme)
The fair value of the equity-settled performance rights granted for the current long term incentive scheme 
is estimated as at the date of the grant using Black Sholes and Monte Carlo Simulation Models taking into 
account the terms and conditions upon which the performance rights were granted.

The current plan in place to provide these benefits 
is:

•  The Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), which 

provides benefits to senior executives and other 
employees.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with 
employees (for awards granted after 7 November 
2002 that were unvested at 1 January 2005) is 
measured by reference to the fair value of the 
equity instruments at the date at which they are 
granted. The fair value is determined using either 
a Black Scholes model or Monte Carlo simulation 
model.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account 
is taken of any vesting conditions, other than 
conditions linked to the price of the shares of Pro 
Medicus Limited (market conditions) if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is 
recognised, together with a corresponding increase 
in equity, over the period in which the performance 
and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting 
period), ending on the date on which the relevant 
employees become fully entitled to the award (the 
vesting date).

At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, 
the cumulative charge to the profit or loss is the 
product of:

(i)  The grant date fair value of the award;

(ii)   For options with non-market vesting 

conditions, the current best estimate of the 
number of awards that will vest, taking into 
account such factors as the likelihood of 
employee turnover during the vesting period 
and the likelihood of non-market performance 
conditions being met; and

(iii)  The expired portion of the vesting period.

The charge to the statement of comprehensive 
income for the period is the cumulative amount as 
calculated above less the amounts already charged 
in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry 
to equity.

Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded 
are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer 
awards vest than were originally anticipated to 
do so. Any award subject to a market condition is 
considered to vest irrespective of whether or not 
that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all 
other conditions are satisfied.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are 
modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised 
as if the terms had not been modified. An additional 
expense is recognised for any modification that 
increases the total fair value of the share-based 
payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial 
to the employee, as measured at the date of 
modification.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options 
is reflected as additional share dilution in the 
computation of diluted earnings per share (see 
Note 8).

* Champagne Properties Pty Ltd is an entity controlled by Directors of the Company, S. Hupert and A. Hall.

Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties

Sales to and purchases from related parties are made in arm’s length transactions both at normal market 
prices and on normal commercial terms.

Outstanding balances at year end are unsecured, interest free and payable on demand. 

25. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial instruments are cash and short-term deposits.    

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide finance for the Group’s operations. The 
Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which 
arise directly from its operations. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign 
currency risk, interest risk and credit risk. The Board manages each of these risks as detailed below.

Foreign currency risk
(i) Functional and presentation currency

Both the functional and presentation currency of Pro Medicus Limited and its Australian subsidiaries are 
Australian dollars ($). The United States subsidiaries’ functional currency is United States Dollars. The 
subsidiary in Germany has a functional currency of Euro. Foreign subsidiaries are translated to presentation 
currency for consolidated reporting.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency 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 ruling at the reporting date.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using 
the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a 
foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

(iii) Translation of Group Companies’ functional currency to presentation currency

The results of the United States and German subsidiaries are translated into Australian dollars 
(presentation currency) using an average exchange rate for the trading period. Assets and liabilities are 
translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date.

Exchange variations resulting from the translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation 
reserve in equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investments in foreign 
subsidiaries are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. If a foreign subsidiary were sold, the 
proportionate share of exchange differences would be transferred out of equity and recognised in profit or 
loss.

The Group has transactional currency exposure, which arise from sales made in currencies other than the 
Group’s presentational currency.

Approximately 81% (2019: 83%) of the Group’s sales are denominated in currencies other than the 
presentational currency, and these sales would be predominately offset by currency exposure on costs. 
Foreign bank accounts have also been established, to create a natural hedge and reduce the need for 
regular transfers from the presentational currency (AUD) cash holdings.

Management believe the reporting date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in 
the financial instruments.

Credit risk arises from the financial instruments of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents 
and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential defaults of the 
counter-party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of the financial assets.

The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties.

It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit 
assessment.

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s 
exposure to bad debts is not significant.

As the Group trades predominantly within the Diagnostic Imaging market there is a concentration of credit 
risk. Given the underlying Government funding support for Radiology in Hospital settings and the Imaging 
Centre and 

Diagnostic Imaging market, and the commercial successes achieved by the Group to date, credit risk is 
considered to be minimal. 

Cash and cash equivalents are held with several financial institutions, with the majority held with the 
Westpac Banking Corporation and Wells Fargo Bank N.A., both AA rated banks.

Interest risk

The Group exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the company’s cash and cash equivalents.

At reporting date, the Group had the following financial assets exposed to Australian Variable interest rate 
risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

Cash and Cash equivalents in the Group ($’000) $43,413 (2019: $32,315). 

The Group’s policy is to place cash balances in either 30-180 day term deposits or commercial bills that 
earn higher interest rates.

At 30 June 2020, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held 
constant, post-tax profit and equity (excluding retained profits) would have been affected as follows:

The Group has minimal liquidity risk as it has cash reserves of $43.4m, with no borrowings.

These cash reserves are deemed to be adequate and the Board believes they will underpin the ongoing 
growth of the business.

26. CONTINGENCIES
Tax related contingencies
Amended assessments from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)

As a result of the ATO’s program of routine and regular tax audit, the Group anticipates that ATO audits 
may occur in the future. The Group is similarly subject to routine tax audits in certain overseas jurisdictions. 
The ultimate outcome of any future tax audits cannot be determined with an acceptable degree of 
reliability at this time. Nevertheless, the Group believes that it is making adequate provision for its taxation 
liabilities (including amounts shown as deferred and current tax liabilities) and is taking reasonable steps 
to address potentially contentious issues with the ATO. However, there may be an impact to the Group of 
any of the revenue authority investigations results in an adjustment that increases the Group’s taxation 
liabilities.

Ongoing transactions – transfer pricing

The Group has offshore operations in the United States and Germany (Note 24). There are additional 
Group transactions, which include the Company and its US and German based subsidiaries Visage Imaging 
Inc. and Visage Imaging GmbH and Pro Medicus Limited. These transactions are on an arm’s length basis 
and are conducted at normal market prices and on normal commercial terms.

Whilst there are no investigations currently in progress, such transactions are not subject to any statutory 
limit in Australia.

(c) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

•  when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation 

authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or of the 
expense item as applicable; and

•  receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of 
receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the 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.

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

(d) Comparatives
Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year 
disclosures.  

28. OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Accounting Standards and Interpretation issued but not yet effective
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are 
not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 
2020. These are as follows:-

i.  Conceptual Framework AASB 2019-1 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting Amendments to 
Australian Accounting Standards – Reference to the Conceptual Framework — Effective date: 1 January 
2020 (Application date: 1 July 2020)

The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and 
recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts. It is arranged in eight 
chapters, as follows. 

•  Chapter 1 — The objective of financial reporting 

•  Chapter 2 — Qualitative characteristics of useful financial information

•  Chapter 3 — Financial statements and the reporting entity

•  Chapter 4 — The elements of financial statements

•  Chapter 5 — Recognition and derecognition

•  Chapter 6 — Measurement

•  Chapter 7 — Presentation and disclosure

•  Chapter 8 — Concepts of capital and capital maintenance

AASB 2019-1 sets out the amendments to Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other 
pronouncements in order to update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. The changes to the 
Conceptual Framework may affect the application of accounting standards in situations where no standard 

applies to a particular transaction or event. In addition, relief has been provided in applying AASB 3 and 
developing accounting policies for regulatory account balances using AASB 108, such that entities must 
continue to apply the definitions of an asset and a liability (and supporting concepts) in the Framework 
for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (July 2004), and not the definitions in the 
revised Conceptual Framework.

The Group is currently assessing the impact of the application of the new Conceptual Framework.

(b) Derivative financial instruments and hedging
The Group uses derivative financial instruments (forward currency contracts) to manage its risks 
associated with foreign currency. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value 
at the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value 
at the reporting date. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments are level 2, being derived from 
directly or indirectly observable inputs.

Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is 
negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivative are recorded directly in 
profit or loss for the year within net foreign currency gains/(losses). The Group does not apply hedge 
accounting. The foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into for periods consistent with foreign 
currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from three to six months.

Set out below is a comparison of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Group’s financial instruments.

Report  on t he Audit  of t he Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Pro Medicus Limited (t he Company) and its subsidiaries
(collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at
30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of
changes in equit y and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors
declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:

(a) giving a t rue and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2020

and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit  in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act  2001 and the ethical requirements of the
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (including Independence Standards) (t he Code) that  are relevant to our audit of the
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other et hical responsibilities in accordance with
the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.

Key Audit  Mat t ers

Key audit matters are those matters that , in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit
addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the
procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the
accompanying financial report.

Capit alisat ion of development  cost s

Revenue recognit ion

Why significant

How our audit  addressed t he key audit  mat t er

Why significant

How our audit  addressed t he key audit  mat t er

The Group develops medical software related to
radiology systems. Development costs are
capitalised and presented as intangible assets
on the consolidated statement of financial
position.

The carrying value of intangible assets as at
30 June 2020 was $18.8 million (20% of total
assets).

Capitalised development  costs was a key audit
matter as product development is core to the
Group’s operations and it is the key asset  on the
Group’s consolidated statement of financial
position. This involves judgement to determine
whether the costs meet the capitalisation
criteria in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards.

The measurement of capitalised development
costs is based on the time and overhead costs
associated wit h individuals employed by the
Group for the specific purpose of developing
software. Capitalised development costs are
amortised once the product is available for use.
Capitalised development  costs are amortised
over a useful life of five years.

Refer to Note 14 of the financial report for
disclosure relating to capitalised program
development costs.

Our audit procedures included the following:

► Assessed key measurement inputs,

including labour and overhead costs, used
in the Group’s capitalisation model which
determines the amount of capitalised
development costs.

► Selected a sample of overhead costs

capitalised to assess whether these costs
were appropriately capitalised in
accordance with the criteria set out in
Australian Accounting Standards.

► Agreed a sample of labour costs recorded

within the capitalisation model to employee
timesheets and payroll records. We
enquired with the Group regarding the
development activities that were
undertaken relating to these costs and
determined whether the sample of
employees were directly involved in
developing software and not maintenance
or other activities that are not eligible for
capitalisation.

► Assessed the useful life and amortisation
rate allocated to capitalised development
costs.

► Assessed the consistency of the

capitalisation methodology applied by the
Group in comparison to prior reporting
periods.

► Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures

included in Note 14.

The Group generated $56.8 million in revenue
from customers across its global operations for
the year ended 30 June 2020.

The Group exercises judgement to determine, in
particular:

► Performance obligations within customer

contracts; and

► Recognition of revenue associated with

multi-element contracts over the term of
the contracts.

Accordingly, revenue recognition was
considered a key audit.

Refer to Note 5 of the financial report for
disclosure relating to revenue recognition.

Our audit procedures included the following:

► Considered the appropriateness of the

Group’s revenue recognition accounting
policies against the requirements of
Australian Accounting Standards, as well as
the judgements applied in determining the
timing of revenue recognition.

► Reviewed a sample of customer contracts
to assess the application of revenue
recognition policies to customer
arrangements.

► Selected a sample of revenue transactions
and assessed revenue recognised with
respect to customer contracts.

► Selected a sample of revenue transactions
recognised prior to and after year end, to
assess whether revenue was recognised in
the appropriate period.

Informat ion Ot her t han t he Financial Report  and Audit or’s Report  Thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Group’s 2020 Annual Report other than the financial report and our
auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report and the Corporate Governance Statement
that are to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and we expect
to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual Report after the date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report
and our related assurance opinion.

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

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

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

Responsibilit ies of t he Direct ors for t he Financial Report

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

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

Audit or's Responsibilit ies for t he Audit  of t he Financial Report

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

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

·

·

·

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

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

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

·

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

Evaluate the overall presentation, st ructure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that  achieves fair presentation.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities
or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit . We remain solely
responsible for our audit  opinion.

We communicate wit h the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit  and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that  a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Pro Medicus Limited’s corporate governance practices were in place throughout the year ended 30 June 
2020.

Structure of the Board
The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at 
the date of the annual report is included in the Directors’ Report. 

The composition of the Board was determined in accordance with the following principles and guidelines:

•  The Board should comprise at least four directors and should maintain a majority of non-executive 

directors, or at least a 50/50 ratio of non-executives and executive directors;

•  The Chairperson must be a non-executive director and not occupy the role of CEO;

•  The Board should comprise directors with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise; and

•  The Board shall meet monthly and follow meeting guidelines set down to ensure all directors are made 
aware of, and have available all necessary information, to participate in an informed discussion of all 
agenda items.

Directors of Pro Medicus Limited are considered to be independent when they are independent of 
management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with – or 
could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the exercise of their unfettered and independent 
judgement.

In the context of director independence, “materiality” is considered from both the company and individual 
director perspective.

The determination of materiality requires 
consideration of both quantitative and qualitative 
elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively 
immaterial if it is equal or less than 5% of the 
appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be 
material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the 
contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the 
appropriate base amount. 

Qualitative factors considered include whether 
a relationship is strategically important, the 
competitive landscape, the nature of the 
relationship and the contractual or other 
arrangements governing it and other factors which 
point to the actual ability of the director in question 
to shape the direction of the company’s loyalty.

In accordance with the definition of independence 
above, and the materiality thresholds set, the 
following directors of Pro Medicus Limited are 
considered to be independent:

Name 
P T Kempen 

A Glenning 

L Farrell 

Position
Chairman,  
Non-Executive Director,  
Chairman Audit Committee

Non-Executive Director

Non-Executive Director

The Board wishes to advise that it continues to 
maintain responsibility for the actions of the Chief 
Executive Officer and any tasks delegated to the 
management by the Board.

The appointment of appropriately skilled Non-
Executive Directors, together with a broadly 
unchanged business base has meant one new 
director nomination has occurred this year. 

Executive Directors’ Appointment Letters have 
not been revised in the prescribed format as 
the board considered this unnecessary given 
the small number of fairly recently appointed 
current directors who understand their roles and 
responsibilities. The board has undertaken that the 
recommended format should be used for any future 
director appointments.

Non-Executive Directors and senior executives 
have a written employment agreement with 
the Company setting out the terms of their 
appointment.

Dr Sam Hupert and Mr. Anthony Hall were directors 
in Pro Medicus Pty Ltd since incorporation in 1983. 
Mr. Peter Kempen was appointed in March 2008, Mr 
Anthony Glenning was appointed in May 2016 and 
Dr Leigh Farrell was appointed in September 2017.

Company Secretary
The Company Secretary is accountable to the 
Board on all matters to do with the proper 
functioning of the Board. The Company Secretary, 
who is also the Chief Financial Officer, attends all 
Board meetings and ensures that the business 
at Board meetings is accurately captured in the 
minutes of these meetings.

Board Functions
As the Board acts on behalf of and is accountable 
to the shareholders, it seeks to identify the 
expectations of the shareholders, as well as other 
regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. 
In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying 
areas of significant business risk and ensuring 
arrangements are in place to adequately manage 
those risks. The Board seeks to discharge these 
responsibilities in a number of ways.

The Board has delegated responsibility for the 
operation and administration of the group to the 
Chief Executive Officer and the executive team (as 
detailed in Note 23). The Board ensures that this 
team is appropriately qualified and experienced 
to discharge their responsibilities and has in place 
procedures to assess the performance of the Chief 
Executive and the executive team.

The Board is responsible for ensuring that 
management’s objectives and activities are aligned 
with the expectations and risks identified by the 
Board. The Board has a number of mechanisms in 
place to ensure this is achieved. These mechanisms 
include the following:

•  approval of strategic plans, which encompass the 
entity’s vision, mission and strategy statements, 
designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and 
manage business risk;

•  involvement in developing the strategic plan (a 
dynamic document) and approving initiatives 
and strategies designed to ensure the continued 
growth and success of the entity;

•  overseeing implementation of operating plans 
and budgets by management and monitoring 
of progress against budget - this includes 
the establishment and monitoring of key 
performance indicators (both financial and non-
financial) for all significant business processes; 
and

•  utilising appropriately skilled professionals to 

provide advice on relevant discussion topics and 
procedures to allow Directors, in the furtherance 
of their duties, to seek independent professional 
advice at the Company’s expense.

Values
The Group sets out its values that defines what 
type of organisation it aspires to be and what 
it expects from its directors, executives and 
employees to achieve that aspiration.  The Groups 
values are:

•  Service and Product Excellence

o  Commit to provide well-supported, stable 

products and services to our customers enabling 
them to improve workflow and diagnoses, 
ultimately providing more efficient patient care.

o  Commit to continuous improvement of our 

systems, products and services.

• 

Integrity and Trust

o  Doing the right thing by our people, customers and patients.

o  Doing what we say we will do.

o  Maintaining confidentiality.

•  Commit to a culture that is inclusive, respectful, honest and transparent in all that we do.

Performance
The performance of the board and key executives is reviewed regularly against both measurable and 
qualitative indicators. During the reporting period the board conducted performance evaluations that 
involved an assessment of each board member’s and key executive’s performance against specific and 
measurable qualitative and quantitative performance criteria.

The performance criteria against which directors and executives are assessed are aligned with the financial 
and non-financial objectives of Pro Medicus Limited.

In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, the 
Chairman annually reviews the performance of all Directors who will be asked to retire from the board if 
not performing in a satisfactory manner.

Diversity
The Group recognises the value contributed to the organisation by employing people with varying skills, 
cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and experience. Pro Medicus believes its diverse workforce is the key to its 
continued growth, improved productivity and performance.

We actively value and embrace the diversity of our employees and are committed to creating an inclusive 
workplace where everyone is treated equally and fairly, and where discrimination, harassment and inequity 
are not tolerated. While Pro Medicus is committed to fostering diversity at all levels, gender diversity has 
been and continues to be a priority for the Group.

The Group has established a diversity policy outlining the board’s measureable objectives for achieving 
diversity. This is assessed annually to measure the progress towards achieving those objectives.

The table below outlines the diversity objectives established by the board, the steps taken during the year 
to achieve these objectives and the outcomes.

Objectives

Steps taken/Outcome

Increase the number of women 
in the workforce, including 
senior management positions 
and at board level.

•  There were no key senior female appointments made during the 
year as there were no key senior appointments made during the 
year.

•  Pro Medicus did not appoint any females in managerial roles as 
there were no managerial appointments made during the year

•  As at 30 June 2020, women represented 21% in the Group’s 

workforce (2019:21%), 20% in key executive positions (2019:20%) 
and 0% at board level (2019:0%).  Subsequent to 30 June 2020, 
Pro Medicus has appointed a female Non-Executive Director to its 
Board.

•  Women represented 18% of new hires during the year (2019:18%)

For the upcoming financial year, the Group targets to increase female 
representation in the Group’s workforce to 25-30%

Promote an inclusive culture 
that treats the workforce with 
fairness and respect.

•  Pro Medicus has set a zero tolerance policy against discrimination 
of employees at all levels. The company also provides avenues for 
employees to voice their concerns or report any discrimination.

•  No cases of discrimination were reported during the year (2019: nil).

Provide career development 
opportunities for every 
employee, irrespective of 
any cultural, gender or other 
differences.

•  Whilst Pro Medicus place focus on gender diversity, career 
development opportunities are equal for all employees.

•  During the year, representation at training and development 

programs was based on performance of the employees.

The achievement of the measurable objectives in the current financial year was taken into consideration in 
assessing bonuses for employees. The Group will continue to review and update the measurable objectives 
to promote diversity for the upcoming year.

Committees
Due to the small number of Directors, the Board 
decided it was more appropriate to handle 
nomination and remuneration issues at full Board 
level. No Committees for these functions have been 
established at this time. 

In addition, the full Board handles any matters as 
and when they arise concerning environmental 
issues, occupational health and safety, finance and 
treasury. 

In order to maintain good corporate governance 
the Non-Executive Directors assume responsibility 
for determining and reviewing compensation 
arrangements for the Executive Directors of 
the Group. The Executive Directors in turn are 
responsible for determining and reviewing the 
compensation arrangements for the Non-Executive 
Directors. The CEO, in conjunction with the full 
Board reviews the terms of employment for all 
executives.

The Board has delegated the responsibility of 
executive remuneration to the management who 
will assess the appropriateness of the nature and 
amount of remuneration of such executives on a 
periodic basis by reference to relevant employment 
market conditions with the overall objective of 
ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the 
retention of a high quality board and executive 
team. 

The Company does not have a policy in regards 
to whether participants are permitted to enter 
into transactions (whether through derivatives 
or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of 
participating in the scheme, however the Board are 
in the process of evaluating a policy for such issues.

Strategic planning has been an important objective 
of the Board. Meetings are scheduled so that all 
Board members can attend and are conducted in 
an informal fashion to allow non-executive directors 
to gain enhanced industry, customer, product and 
research knowledge.

Remuneration Committee
The Board has established a remuneration 
committee, which operates under a charter 
approved by the Board.

The members of the remuneration committee are:

D R Shiff - Chair

A Glenning

L Farrell

Audit Committee
The Board has established an audit committee, 
which operates under a charter approved by the 
Board. 

It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an 
effective internal control framework exists within 
the entity. This includes internal controls to deal 
with both the effectiveness and efficiency of 
significant business processes. This also includes 
the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance 
of proper accounting records, and reliability of 

82

financial information as well as non-financial 
considerations such as the benchmarking of 
operational key performance indicators. 

The members of the audit committee are:

P T Kempen Chairman

S A Hupert

A B Hall

A Glenning

L Farrell

The audit committee is also responsible for 
nomination of the external auditor and reviewing 
the adequacy of the scope and quality of the 
annual statutory audit and half yearly audit review.

Due to the small number of Directors, the 
Committee does not meet the requirements of 
Recommendation 4.1 as all members of the Board 
serve on the Audit Committee, whilst the Board 
Chairman is also the Audit Committee Chairman as 
his area of expertise is in Accounting and Finance.

The number of meetings held and individual 
attendance of Committee members at those 
meetings are disclosed in the Directors Report. 

The company rarely releases periodic corporate 
reports to the market that are not audited or review 
by an external auditor but if it does, the process to 
verify its integrity is for the Chief Executive Officer 
to present the report to the board to review and 
once all directors are satisfied with the content and 
approved in the board minutes, then it is released 
to the market.

Prior to approval of the Company’s annual financial 
statements, the Board obtains a declaration from 
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer that, in their opinion, the financial records 
of the entity have been properly maintained and 
that the financial statements comply with the 
appropriate accounting standards and give a 
true and fair view of the financial position and 
performance of the entity and that the opinion 
has been formed on the basis of a sound system 
of risk management and internal control which is 
operating effectively.

A representative of the external auditors Ernst & 
Young will continue to attend the Annual General 
Meeting and is available to answer questions 
from security holders relevant to the audit. A 
representative of Ernst & Young also attends all 
Audit Committee meetings.

Continuous Disclosure Policy
The board has developed a written policy to 
ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules 
on continuous disclosure and has adopted 
measures to ensure the market and shareholders 
are fully informed. The measures in place require 
all potential market sensitive matters to be 
discussed with the Chief Executive Officer who in 
conjunction with the Chairman and other relevant 
directors decide whether to make an appropriate 
announcement to the market. 

Only nominated authorised persons have the 
authority to release these communications to 

the ASX. This policy is displayed on the company 
website. The board receives all copies of material 
market announcements from the Company 
Secretary promptly by email after they have been 
made.

Shareholder Communication 
The Board of Directors aims to ensure that the 
shareholders, on behalf of whom they act, are 
informed of all information necessary to assess 
the performance of the Directors. Information is 
communicated to the shareholders through:

•  the annual report which is distributed to all 
shareholders registered to receive copies;

•  through the release of information to the market 

via the ASX

•  the annual general meeting and other meetings 
so called to obtain approval for Board action as 
appropriate;

•  an up to date website - www.promedicus.com.au;

•  email contact with registered users; and

•  special written communications to shareholders 

distributed with the dividend notifications.

The company ensures that any material given to 
a particular group is available to all interested 
parties via the company website. This includes 
any material presented at the Annual General 
Meeting. Shareholders are encouraged to receive 
communications electronically as requested and 
can elect to do so through the company’s share 
registry. The company ensures that all participating 
shareholders have an opportunity to ask questions 
through shareholder meetings and encourages 
participation at all annual meetings.

A copy of the Corporate Governance Statement 
is also available of the Company’s website – www.
promedicus.com.au. 

The Company effectively facilitates two-way 
communication with shareholders, through six 
monthly investor relations roadshows and through 
constant investor meetings and conference calls 
with shareholders on request. 

Trading policy
Under the group’s security trading policy, an 
executive, director, or any employee of the group, 
must not trade in any securities of the parent 
company at any time when they are in possession 
of unpublished, price-sensitive information in 
relation to those securities.

Executives, directors and employees of the group 
may only trade in the securities of the parent 
company during an open period. 

Only in exceptional circumstances will approval be 
forthcoming outside of an open period which is 30 
days after:-

•  One day following the announcement of the half-
yearly and full year results as the case may be.

•  One day following the holding of the annual 

general meeting.

•  One day after any other form of earnings 
forecast update is given to the market.

As required by the ASX listing rules, the Group 
notifies the ASX of any transaction conducted by 
directors in the securities of the parent company.

Code of Conduct 
The board has developed a “Code of Conduct”” 
consistent with the recommendations and details 
are disclosed on the company website

Whistleblower Policy

The board has developed a whistleblower policy 
consistent with the recommendations and details 
are disclosed on the company website. There were 
no major incidents reported under the entities 
whistleblower policy during the year.

Anti-bribery and Corruption Policy
The board has developed an anti-bribery 
and corruption policy consistent with the 
recommendations and details are disclosed on the 
company website. There were no major incidents 
reported under the entities anti-bribery and 
corruption policy during the year.

Risk Management Policies 
The Company takes a proactive approach to risk 
management. The Board is responsible for ensuring 
that risks are identified on a timely basis and that 
the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned 
with the risks identified by the Board.

The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board 
members to participate in this process; as such the 
Board has not established separate committees 
for areas such as risk management, environmental 
issues, occupational health and safety or treasury.

Whilst the Company has not established an internal 
audit function, it is committed to the identification; 
monitoring and management of risks associated 
with its business activities and has included in its 
management and reporting systems a number of 
risk management controls, such as:

•  Annual budgeting and monthly reporting 

systems for all operations which enable the 
monitoring of progress against performance 
targets and to evaluate trends

•  Guidelines and limits on capital expenditure and 

purchasing authority matrix

•  Executive approvals for staffing requirements

•  Detailed monthly management reports including 
cash flow reports, and to identify any foreign 
currency risks associated with contracts written 
in and cash being held in foreign currencies

The Company up until late in the financial period 
was not exposed to any interest rate or significant 
currency sensitive loans or debts. Given the 
increase in overseas operations there is now an 
increased currency risk as a consequence of 
contracts written in and cash being held in foreign 
currencies. This change in risk profile has been 
noted by the board and action is being taken to 
manage this risk. The Board oversees appropriate 
backup procedures for important company data.

Detailed annual review of insurance policies in force to ensure cover is at appropriate levels to safeguard 
key executives, Company assets and operations. The Board regularly considers succession planning to 
ensure staff of appropriate skill and experience are available to the Company. A review of the Company 
risk management policy was not undertaken during the year.

The Board does not believe the Company has any material exposure to economic, environmental and 
social sustainability risks at the present time.

YOU CAN DO SO MUCH MORE ONLINE

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ACCESS – AND EVEN UPDATE – INFORMATION ABOUT 
YOUR HOLDINGS IN PRO MEDICUS LIMITED VIA THE INTERNET.

NOTES

Visit Link Market Services’ website  
www.linkmarketservices.com.au and access a wide 
variety of holding information, make some changes 
online or download forms. 

YOU CAN:
•  Check your current and previous holding 

balances

option

•  Choose your preferred annual report delivery 

•  Update your address details

•  Update your bank details

•  Lodge, or confirm lodgement of, your Tax File 
Number (TFN), Australian Business Number 
(ABN) or exemption

•  Check transaction and dividend history

•  Enter your email address

•  Check the share prices and graphs

•  Download a variety of instruction forms

You can access this information via a security 
login using your Security holder Reference Number 
(SRN) or Holder Identification Number (HIN) as 
well as your surname (or company name) and 
postcode (must be the postcode recorded on 
your holding record).

DON’T MISS OUT ON YOUR DIVIDENDS
Dividend cheques that are not banked are required 
to be handed over to the State Trustee under the 
Unclaimed Monies Act. You are reminded to bank 
cheques immediately.

BETTER STILL, WHY NOT HAVE US DO YOUR 
BANKING FOR YOU
Wouldn’t you prefer to have immediate access 
to your dividend payment? Your dividend 
payments can be credited directly into any 
nominated bank, building society or credit union 
account in Australia as cleared funds on dividend 
payment date – and we will still mail [(or email 
if you prefer)] you a dividend advice confirming 
your payment details.

Not only can we do your banking for you, but 
payment by direct credit eliminates the risk 
of cheque fraud.
