Redbubble sources about 93% of its Marketplace Revenue in currencies other than Australian dollars. TeePublic sources about 91% of its Marketplace Revenue in US dollars. Redbubble operates a unique three-sided marketplace with genuine flywheel effects where improving one side creates a positive reinforcing impact on the other side. The content that artists sell attracts customers and more customers enables the fulfilment network to scale, lowering costs and improving services, thus attracting additional customers. This increase in customers creates more Artist revenue, encouraging new Artists to the platform adding more content, attracting more customers and the cycle continues. This powerful flywheel effect was witnessed throughout FY2021 and drove record financial results for RB Group. The RB Group Flywheel Delivering value to artists inspires them to create more unique content 728,000 selling artists on RB marketplaces (↑54% YoY) and they earned $104m in FY2021 (↑54% YoY) Driving top line growth through customer acquisition and loyalty reinforces our competitive position 9.5 million unique customers (↑40% YoY) spending $701 million GTV (↑48% YoY) Scaling the network improves the customer experience and unit economics 44 fulfilment locations across global networks (↑7% YoY). 04 05 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Chair’s Letter On behalf of the Redbubble Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the 2021 Annual Report. The past year has again been very challenging. Staff at all Redbubble’s offices in Melbourne, San Francisco, New York and Berlin worked remotely for almost the entire year and, while this has become the norm in many places, prolonged absences from the office continue to be demanding. The company has worked hard to maintain a sense of community and support the mental health and well-being of our people during this time. All geographies in which the Redbubble and TeePublic marketplaces operate continued to be disrupted by COVID-19 during FY2021. As we all faced the second year of the global pandemic, Redbubble’s purpose of bringing more creativity into the world has never been more important. The pandemic continued to have a profound effect on consumer behaviour and accelerated the shift to online platforms, including ours. We are now seeing a freeing of restrictions in many places around the world, at least in relation to retail, hospitality and travel. I am pleased to report that, with many countries entering the ‘post-COVID’ era in the latter part of FY2021, our business continued to perform strongly and retain many of the customers introduced to our marketplaces during lockdown. In FY2021, the Group delivered record financial results and operational achievements including record earnings for creative artists using our marketplaces to connect with their customers. These results are a testament to how well Redbubble was able to meet the challenges of FY2021 through a resilient business model, a robust fulfillment network, adaptable staff and a loyal community of artists who continued to produce work that attracted customers to our marketplaces in greater numbers than ever before. In addition to these outstanding financial results, in my first full year as Chair, I have been particularly pleased with the collegiate approach of the Board to its work in challenging times. A key responsibility of the Board during the year was to select and appoint a new CEO to take over from interim CEO and Redbubble founder Martin Hosking. In November 2020, the Board was pleased to appoint Michael Ilczynski who brought to the role a wealth of experience in leadership of technology companies, development of high-performing teams and scaling of businesses, having been most recently CEO of Seek, Asia Pacific & Americas. With Mike’s commencement in January 2021 and changes to the structure and composition of the Executive Leadership Team, the Group has the right team in place to build on the significant achievements to date and lead Redbubble into its next phase. The FY2021 results provide strong foundations for the team to drive future growth. After a year of exceptional growth, we look forward in the short term to consolidating our achievements and investing prudently to enable us to seize the opportunities that lie ahead. Readers will note that, in this report, we provide greater detail than previous years in relation to the Group’s approach to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. Redbubble’s business model has always emphasised a small environmental footprint together with a strong focus on social good. However, as the report explains, we have recognised the need to better understand our material ESG impacts and more clearly integrate ESG into our strategy and decision making in the future. In FY2022, we look forward to expanding further on the detail around ESG provided in this report. In closing, I would like to thank the talented artists who choose Redbubble to bring more creativity into the world, the third party fulfillers and content partners and the customers who continue to use our marketplaces in increasing numbers. Thank you also to my fellow Directors, Mike and the Executive Leadership Team and the many committed employees of the Group for their ongoing contribution. I would also like to welcome all new employees who have joined us over the past year. Finally, thank you to our shareholders for their continued support as we realise our ambition of creating the world’s largest marketplace for independent artists Anne Ward Board Chair 06 07 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 CEO’s Review I am delighted to be presenting my first annual review as CEO of Redbubble Limited. As readers will be aware, the COVID-19 pandemic has again challenged us all in FY2021. Having commenced with the Group in January 2021, travel restrictions have meant that I have not yet had the opportunity to visit our offices in San Francisco, New York and Berlin or meet many of our Melbourne staff in person. Even without this face to face contact, though, I have been impressed by the skill, professionalism and resilience of our staff and their dedication to the Artist community whose customers our marketplaces service. In our Annual Report last year, our founder and then interim CEO, Martin Hosking, described FY2021 as a year of promise provided the Redbubble Group maintained the momentum of FY2020 through a clear focus on our four key strategic themes: artist activation and engagement; user acquisition and transaction optimisation; customer understanding, loyalty and brand building; and physical products and the Third Party Fulfilment Network. FY2021 Results I am pleased to report that in FY2021 the Group delivered on that promise and achieved record results demonstrating the power of the business when it is operating at scale. In summary, at the Group level, Gross Transaction Value across the marketplaces was $701 million for the year, up 48% year on year and up 60% on a constant currency basis, Marketplace Revenue was $553 million, up 58% year on year and 71% on a constant currency basis and NPAT was $31 million compared to a loss of $9 million in FY2021. This represents a remarkable year for the Group, but we are particularly proud of the record Artist revenue that was earned by the community of creative Artists who use our platforms to connect with their customers. In April 2021, I shared our medium-term aspirations. These aspirations are focused on driving a step-change in business scale and Artist impact by growing our core topline metrics of Gross Transaction Value to $1.5 billion p.a., Marketplace Revenue to $1.25 billion p.a. and Artist revenue to $250 million p.a. These aspirations will be achieved through a process of making disciplined and phased investments against our 4 key strategic themes outlined above. During FY2021, substantial progress was made against all four strategic themes delivering record growth during the year and providing a solid foundation for sustained growth into the future. Artist Activation and Engagement FY2021 saw $104 million earned by 728,000 Artists across the Redbubble Group marketplaces, the highest annual amount ever earned by the Artist community. This represents not only strong growth in the number of selling Artists during the year, but also the continued engagement of existing Artists, demonstrating the long-term value that Artists and their content bring to the marketplaces. Operationally, a Group level Artists function was established in the second half of the year and this will enable us to take a more proactive and segmented approach to Artist acquisition and engagement across both the Redbubble and TeePublic marketplaces in the years ahead. User Acquisition and Transaction Optimisation We had 9.5 million unique customers that made purchases on our marketplaces during FY2021, up 40% year on year. Organic customer acquisition channels grew strongly and remain a key source of competitive advantage for the Group, while we also saw particularly strong growth in acquisition from Google Ads, affiliates and PR channels. More than half of all sales on the platforms in the year occurred via a mobile device. Marketplace revenue on our apps grew 77% year on year during FY2021. We also saw stronger engagement and retention of customers who use our apps and we will continue to invest in improving the customer experience and attracting customers to these platforms. Customer Understanding, Loyalty and Brand Building A very encouraging aspect of FY2021 performance was that purchases by repeat customers made up 42% of marketplace revenue with the rate of revenue growth from repeat customers outpacing that of first-time purchasers. The rate of repeat purchases is a key loyalty metric and data from the H1 FY2021 customer cohort showed that those customers who first purchased on the platform during the shutdowns last year have shown a 6 month repeat rate at the same level as those who were first acquired in the equivalent half in FY2020 (pre-COVID). This provides us confidence that many of the gains made during this unique period will be sustained as economies re-open. Increasing brand marketing to drive awareness and engagement will be a significant part of the next phase of investments, and we are already making progress with early experiments on our brand positioning. The focus on growing our PR channel started about 18 months ago and is progressing well, the early results indicating we are laying the right foundations for launching future successful brand campaigns. 08 09 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Product Range and Third Party Fulfilment Network In FY2021, we saw the value of our investments to enable the third party fulfillment network, with the network maintaining continuity of operations and supply in the face of surging demand, record holiday season volumes and constrained shipping conditions due to COVID, all without compromising the customer experience. We also continued to expand the product range by adding new products including jigsaw puzzles, aprons and magnets, in addition to the significant lift from masks which were added in Q4 FY2020. In addition to the uplift achieved by expanding the range, we also saw customer acquisition and conversion gains through our focus on improving and refreshing existing product quality and range. The focus of investment in the growth levers that we have will change over time, but the past year has shown that we are well placed to deliver on the medium-term aspirations we have set ourselves for the benefit of the community of Artists, their customers, our staff and shareholders. I would like to close by thanking the talented and resilient teams at Redbubble and TeePublic for their commitment and dedication during a challenging year and Anne and the Board for their support. Michael Ilczynski Chief Executive Officer ESG Information Introduction Redbubble Group’s mission is to create the world’s largest marketplace for independent artists. As a socially responsible and environmentally conscious business, we have always felt a strong duty to the artists, customers and third-party fulfillers that use our marketplace, as well as our employees, shareholders and community, to evaluate the environmental and social impact of key aspects of the marketplace flywheel. With the growing sense of urgency about climate change, concerns about human rights impacts in the supply chain and the global move towards a circular economy, responsible business practices are now non-negotiable. Environmental, social and governance factors (ESG) are no longer an externality of business success. Instead, they are critical for the long-term sustainability of organisations. This imperative is not new to Redbubble Group. Our mission-driven business model was designed to have a small environmental footprint, but we know that we have the potential to do more. This section introduces our first ESG strategy, reflecting our desire to better understand and formalise our approach to ESG. The ESG strategy will inform our broader objectives, goals and disclosures in the future, as we work towards building an enduring marketplace that connects people through creativity and empowers our community without compromising the planet. ESG strategy In FY2021, Redbubble Group commenced a robust exercise to identify and prioritise the ESG areas where we have the greatest impact across our value chain. The result of this work has informed our ESG strategy, which reflects: ● our ESG vision, which is aligned to Redbubble Group’s broader mission ● the impact areas that are most important to our stakeholders and our business ● our overarching areas of ambition – People, Planet and Prosperity ● the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that we believe our business can contribute to ● the main enablers to delivering our strategy. As we continue our ESG journey, our ESG strategy will evolve, as our business and the context in which we operate are constantly changing, as is the understanding of our environmental and social impacts. 10 11 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Redbubble Group ESG strategy overview Redbubble mission: Creating the world’s largest marketplace for independent artists, bringing more creativity into the world ESG vision: Build an enduring marketplace that connects people through creativity and empowers our community without compromising the planet ESG ambitions PEOPLE PLANET PROSPERITY Enable our people to positively impact our culture and community Impact areas: Reduce waste and emissions from our operations and the third party supply chain network that uses our marketplace ● Inclusion & Diversity Impact areas: ● Culture ● Community Impact ● Waste Management Empower and protect people who design, sell, make and use products from our marketplace Impact areas: ● Artist Empowerment ● Supply Chain Social ● Carbon Emissions Responsibility ● Supply Chain ● Digital Marketplace Environmental Impact Integrity ● Product Development & Quality SDGs: Enablers: Governance Communication and transparency Technology and innovation Systems and standards Partnerships The five enablers will support the delivery of our strategy and help embed ESG across the Group through strong governance, transparent and effective communication, the smart use of technology, clear marketplace standards and guidelines, and strategic partnerships. Our next steps include a comprehensive review of the current state and the development of an action plan aimed at achieving and reporting on these goals. We want to be more deliberate and impactful in the way we run our business, and we believe that clear ownership and actions will be key to our success in delivering on both existing efforts and new initiatives. Strategy development process We undertook a number of activities to develop our strategy with substantial support and leadership from the Redbubble Group Leadership team and senior employees throughout the business. The table below details the activities at each step. Steps Activities Desktop research Review of current trends, industry context, peer analysis, sustainability reporting frameworks and internal documents Stakeholder engagement Internal and external interviews with selected stakeholders including the Group’s Leadership team and senior employees, customers and fulfillers, and a survey of over 2,000 artists UN SDGs mapping Gap analysis Mapping of the identified impact areas to the UN SDGs, assessing the extent of the Group’s potential impact on each and our alignment to the SDGs goals Analysis of the Group’s current management approach across impact areas, the extent to which the Group is already addressing the material topics, and areas for improvement ESG strategy development Strategy development including the alignment of ESG impact areas under agreed pillars, the development of goals for each People, Planet and Prosperity pillar and creation of the overarching ESG ambition Validation Tested and validated the impact areas and the ESG strategy with the Group’s Leadership team and senior employees 12 13 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 UN Sustainable Development Goals The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by United Nations member states in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that by 2030, all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The SDGs can help a business define its aspirational purpose in a way that is relevant and inspiring to stakeholders, allow purpose to become the foundation for its strategy, and ignite long-lasting positive change to support increasing shareholder value over the long term. The 17 goals translate to 169 targets. As part of Redbubble Group’s ESG strategy development, we mapped our impact areas to the SDG targets and identified the SDGs that we believe we could most meaningfully contribute to as a business, in order to ensure our efforts were aligned with the bigger world picture. SDGs What this means for Redbubble Group SDG 5 Gender equality | Relevant targets 5.1, 5.5, 5.b As a thriving tech company, we have a duty to recognise the glaring gender inequities that exist in the tech industry, and to make a positive impact where we can, such as by promoting gender equality in our workforce. We also have the opportunity to use technology to support the empowerment of women through STEM. SDG 8 Decent work and economic growth | Relevant targets 8.3, 8.5, 8.7, 8.8 In working towards our mission, we enable entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation to thrive amongst the network of artists and third-party fulfillers that use our marketplace; most of which are small and medium-sized enterprises. SDG 10 Reduced inequality | Relevant targets 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 The past few years have shone a light on social inequalities beyond gender, such as race and ethnicity. We must take active steps to promote the social and economic inclusion of all the people who use our marketplace, and extend this to the communities that we operate in. SDG 12 Responsible consumption and production | Relevant targets 12.1, 12.2, 12.4, 12.5, 12.6, 12.7, 12.8 While our business model is designed to have a small environmental footprint, we have the opportunity to support the reduction of waste generated by marketplace users throughout the supply chain, including through supporting the efficient use of natural resources and encouraging responsible consumption. SDG 13 Climate action | Relevant targets 13.2, 13.3 As a business that intends to thrive for years to come, we believe that embedding climate positive actions in our business decisions and company culture is crucial to achieving a prosperous future for our company and for the world. People Impact areas Inclusion and diversity Culture Community impact SDGs Our Goal: Redbubble Group enables our people to positively impact our culture and community. To do this, we need to ensure that we have a diverse workforce that reflects our broader communities, and that we create a working environment that supports our employees’ development opportunities and wellbeing. We provide flexible working arrangements and support their health and wellbeing, which has been especially important during COVID-19. More broadly, this is one step towards cultivating an inclusive workplace where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. In early 2021, we launched our new Group Diversity Policy, which restates, reinforces and raises the bar on our diversity objectives and commitments. Currently, 40% of our Board identify as female and six of the eight direct reports to the Group CEO identify as female. We have a range of commitments and objectives to deliver greater inclusion and diversity across the Group, and support our employees’ sense of belonging. While we have strong female representation within our leadership team, we know that identity extends beyond gender and that there is more work to be done to achieve greater representation in our broader workforce, and among the artists and third- party fulfillers that use our marketplace. Social good is part of Redbubble Group’s DNA, and our employees embody this. As our business grows, we are focused on keeping true to our social mission and values. Many of our employees choose to work at Redbubble Group because they believe in our mission. We actively back them to advocate for issues they care about through philanthropy, volunteering and in-kind support. Our Community Collective is an employee-driven initiative that helps us give back to our local communities. In previous years we’ve partnered with organisations who focus on issues like the environment, cancer, HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, and poverty. Our efforts this year shifted to donating clothes and tech equipment to communities and schools in need to support them during COVID-19. This year, we also partnered with Black Art Futures Fund (BAFF) for Black History Month celebration. BAFF provides general operating support for U.S. small and community-based Black-led and Black-benefitting arts and culture organisations, and partnering with them allowed us to extend our financial and cultural contribution to an artist community outside the Group. While we have supported a range of social causes and community initiatives to date, we plan to be more deliberate in the coming year in aligning our contributions to the areas where we believe we can have the most impact. 14 15 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Planet Impact areas Waste management Product development and quality Carbon emissions Supply chain environmental impact SDGs Our Goal: Redbubble Group is working towards reducing waste and emissions from our operations and the third party supply chain network that uses our marketplace. As a digital marketplace where products are sold by artists on-demand, our business is designed to have a small environmental footprint. While the local third-party fulfillers that manufacture products offered through the marketplace minimise excess unsold stock and unnecessary transportation, environmental impacts are still occurring throughout the product lifecycle. We know that there are opportunities for us to support the third party supply chain network in creating greater efficiencies and reducing waste from product development, manufacturing, packaging, delivery and end-use, including encouraging continuous improvement of the quality and design of products available on the marketplace so that they last and minimise returns, and better managing returns when they are received. We are currently assessing how we can help artists be more sustainable in the design of their products and support the circular economy. Where possible, product returns are also donated to local charities. TeePublic’s partnership with Terecycle is an example of finding recycling solutions for products that are not donated to charity, such as stickers and phone cases. While Redbubble Group does not own or control the businesses in the supply chain, it is important that going forward, we better understand and manage the collective environmental footprint of the marketplace, and that we do this in close cooperation with the supply chain. We help to identify environmental benchmarks for the third-party fulfillers. We continue to work with the fulfillers and other third parties in the supply chain to better understand the significant environmental impacts and to establish a set of marketplace-wide standards and objectives specific to ESG. Emissions from transportation also have an impact on the environment. Local fulfillers help to minimise transport distances, but for the remainder, Redbubble offsets emissions from product shipping through a renewable energy partner, 3Degrees. In terms of the Group’s operations, we know there are more things we can do to take action on climate change, such as reducing our own emissions and running our business with renewable energy. Over this year we will assess our current state, evaluate areas of improvement and set specific marketplace standards, goals and targets to track our progress in the years ahead. Prosperity Impact areas Artist empowerment Supply chain social responsibility Digital marketplace integrity SDGs Our Goal: Redbubble Group strives to empower and protect people who design, sell, make and use products from our marketplace. To succeed in our purpose to bring more creativity into the world, we have a set of expectations and guidelines for all the creators and users to maintain an open marketplace where artists are free to express themselves, whilst protecting marketplace users from abusive, hateful or racist content. As a tech company geared at empowering artists, the integrity of our marketplace is mission critical. We want to ensure our marketplace is free from offensive, sexist, racist or hateful content, but this comes with challenges in a marketplace of user-generated content. We proactively find and remove content on the marketplace that falls outside our guidelines and are proud of our efforts, but as the volume of content uploaded to the marketplace grows, it’s crucial that we continue to think about how we can improve and continue to scale these efforts in the years ahead. We are also continually improving our operational procedures for data security and privacy and ethical business conduct to ensure we remain agile and responsive to changes in our operating landscape. Our expectations, marketplace standards and guidelines support 728,000 independent artists to be compensated fairly for their work, and to protect their intellectual property. Artists earnt $104 million in revenue across the platforms in FY21, the largest ever annual amount, of which we are extremely proud. Our business model gives artists control over their products and what they earn, and we are looking at ways we can help the development of emerging artists. We also have an important role to play in helping artists to protect their intellectual property, and we do this through a number of elements including offering anti-piracy and watermark features so artists can protect their creations. We do our best to strike a balance between artistic freedom and IP protection across the board. With the IP landscape and the social landscape often shifting, we will continue to invest in improvements in this area to ensure we can deliver the best results. To be true to our value of social responsibility, Redbubble Group extends our expectations to the third-party fulfillers in the supply chain who use the marketplace, to ensure that they provide safe and fair working conditions for their staff, and that they treat them with respect and dignity. Our intentions are to only allow participation in our marketplace by third-party fulfillers that meet our social responsibility standards, which are in line with the Australian Modern Slavery Act, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act and the Fair Labor Association Code of Conduct. Due to COVID-19, we have paused the auditing of third-party fulfillers to verify compliance with these marketplace standards, but we are working to resume these as soon as possible. Our policies and statements guide how we address the issues that affect our business and enable us to take swift mitigating actions, and our Corporate Governance Statement sets out our approach to managing risk. 16 17 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Directors’ Report Your Directors present their report on the consolidated entity, consisting of Redbubble Limited (the Company or Redbubble) and the entities it controlled during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (referred to hereafter as the RB Group or Group). Directors The following persons were Directors of the Company during the 2021 financial year and to the date of this Report: Anne Ward Martin Hosking Chair, Non-executive Director Non-executive Director (became a Non-executive Director on 27 January 2021 following the end of Mr Hosking’s interim Managing Director and CEO tenure) Love is the Journey T-shirt designed and sold by goldendazeart Jennifer (Jenny) Macdonald Non-executive Director Ben Heap Non-executive Director Greg Lockwood Non-executive Director Principal activities RB Group, through its websites at Redbubble.com and TeePublic.com, owns and operates the Redbubble and TeePublic online marketplaces. These marketplaces facilitate the sale and purchase of art and designs on a range of products sold by independent creatives to consumers. The products are produced and shipped by third party service providers (i.e. product manufacturers, printers and shipping companies) referred to as fulfillers. There was no significant change in the nature of RB Group’s activities during the year. 19 Annual Report 2021 The group holds $99 million in cash at 30 June 2021. These cash reserves will be used to sustainably invest into our future business growth and gives management and the Board considerable strategic flexibility around a range of capital management options. In January 2021, the Board was pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Michael Ilczynski as the new CEO of Redbubble. As a result of Mr Ilczynski’s appointment, our interim CEO and Managing Director, Mr Martin Hosking, has returned to his role as Non-Executive Director, as was foreshadowed in last year’s Remuneration Report. COVID-19 The Group has experienced significant growth and is operating at a much larger scale than 12 months ago. Increased demand was evident across both marketplaces, in all core geographies and product categories as the Group has benefited from an acceleration in online activity since the beginning of the global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic adds inherent uncertainty into global economic conditions, and as such, the business continues to monitor online sales, trends and the fulfillment networks. Teams across the business have demonstrated remarkable resilience with the entire company operating remotely since April 2020. The agility of the team, supported by secure cloud based technology has supported a decentralised working model without losing productivity and has ensured the Group was able to exceed both customer and artist expectations. The RB Group did not receive any Government benefits across the jurisdictions in which the Group operates. Review of operations Redbubble delivered record financial results and operational achievements during FY2021, providing strong foundations from which to drive future growth. The business is well capitalised to pursue its medium term aspirations with confidence and conviction. Redbubble’s FY2021 financial metrics1 (with year on year (YoY) growth rates, where applicable) are: ● Gross Transaction Value (GTV) of $701 million, up 48% (60% on a constant currency basis2 ); ● Marketplace Revenue of $553 million, up 58% (71% on a constant currency basis); ● Gross profit of $223 million, up 66% (79% on a constant currency basis); ● EBITDA of $53 million, up 930% (695% on a constant currency basis); ● EBIT of $39 million, compared to a loss of $9 million in FY20; ● Net profit after tax of $31 million, compared to a loss of $9 million in FY20; ● Operating cash inflow of $55 million, compared to $47 million in FY2020; and ● Closing cash balance at 30 June 2021 of $99 million. Marketplace Revenue of $553 million was up 58% (71% on a constant currency basis) on the prior period. Customer demand was sustained throughout the entire year, even as the second half of the year saw global macro conditions change noticeably with much of the offline economy opening back up, particularly in the US which is our largest market. Growth of the business across all geographies showed the broad and global appeal of the Group’s offering, while growth across multiple product categories demonstrated the breadth and variety of consumer markets in which the model can apply. Face masks were a significant contributor during FY2021 contributing $57 million to Marketplace Revenue. FY2021 underlying Marketplace Revenue was $497 million excluding masks, which still represents substantial growth over FY2020 Marketplace Revenue of $349 million. Unique customers increased 40% to 9.5 million in FY2021, with repeat customer purchases accounting for $232 million in Marketplace Revenue. Gross Profit margins were higher in FY2021 primarily due to the strong contribution of higher margin product categories such as face masks. This resulted in a Gross Profit of $223 million, up 66% (79% on a constant currency basis). In FY2021 the marketplaces had a 54% increase in selling artists up to 728,000, with both new and earlier artist cohorts witnessing significant growth. Artists earned $104 million in revenue across the platforms in FY21, the largest ever annual amount, of which we are extremely proud. Artist activation and engagement remains a core growth pillar for Redbubble and we are committed to growing and optimising the library of unique content available on the platform. (1) Please see table 1 on page 22 for calculations of the non-IFRS metrics (2) “Constant currency basis” reflects the underlying growth before translation to Australian dollars for reporting purposes. Redbubble sources about 93% of its Marketplace Revenue in currencies other than Australian dollars. TeePublic sources about 91% of its Marketplace Revenue in US dollars. 20 21 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 A reconciliation of reported results to non-IFRS numbers in this Directors’ report is provided below.

As flagged in the Letter to Shareholders in April, Redbubble is undertaking investment in its four strategic themes to build a strong foundation for future growth. These are across: ● Artist activation and engagement ● User acquisition and transaction optimisation ● Customer understanding, loyalty and brand building ● Product range and 3rd party fulfillment network These investments will aid the Group to deliver continued top-line growth, reinforcing Redbubble’s competitive position and enabling the Group to continue on its mission to create the world’s largest marketplace for independent artists. In pursuit of Redbubble’s medium term aspirations, targeted investments will continue to be made across the Group. Specifically, investments in FY2022 will focus on key aspects of the customer experience, both digital and physical. These are aimed at driving cumulative increases in users, order rate, average order value and repeat rate. We remain focused on the tremendous opportunity we have as a business, and on our medium term aspirations to grow GTV to more than $1.5 billion, to grow Artist Revenue to $250 million, and to produce Marketplace Revenue of $1.25 billion per annum. Significant changes in the state of affairs In the Directors’ opinion, there have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of RB Group during the 2021 financial year. Significant events after end of the 2021 financial year In the Directors’ opinion, there have been no matters or circumstances arising since the end of the 2021 financial year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect: ● RB Group’s operations in future financial years; ● the results of those operations in future financial years; or ● RB Group’s state of affairs in future financial years. 22 23 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Dividends Environment No dividends were paid or declared since the start of the 2021 financial year. Given the opportunities to invest in key initiatives, coupled with the uncertain future macro environment, the Board does not expect to pay a dividend in the short to medium term. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Statement RB Group’s mission is to create the world’s largest marketplace for independent artists. Empowering the global artist community to make a living doing what they love is key to our success. The business drives significant value for the artists, customers, third-party printers and manufacturers (fulfillers) that participate in the marketplace, as well as for our employees and shareholders. The ESG landscape is ever-evolving, with increasing stakeholder expectations, a more stringent regulatory environment, a push for greater inclusivity in our workforce and through our marketplace. A range of external factors, including COVID-19, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, climate change and the circular economy (designing products that can be reused, in contrast to the traditional linear model of make and dispose) continued to evolve and challenge our thinking and approach in FY2021. These will certainly not be the last of challenges that test our business model, company culture and mission. The artists, customers, employees and third-party fulfillers that participate in the marketplace have high expectations of our approach to ESG. To keep true to our mission, to support our culture of passionate people working collaboratively for a cause, and to ensure a sustainable business model, we want to better understand our material ESG impacts and better integrate ESG into our strategy and decision-making. We are currently developing our inaugural ESG Strategy. The strategy will help us identify and prioritise the areas where we can have the greatest positive impact across the value chain. We are conducting a materiality assessment to identify our key impact areas and to get a better understanding of our stakeholders’ needs and expectations. These material topics will inform our broader strategic objectives, goals and future disclosure. Below we cover our current approach to ESG and provide a preliminary indication of likely material topics. With the growing sense of urgency about climate change, concerns about human impacts on the environment and the global move towards a circular economy, responsible business practices are now non-negotiable. Our mission to create the world’s largest marketplace for independent artists means that we have a duty to them and to customers to ensure that the products sold by artists on the marketplace are environmentally and socially responsible. We designed our business model to have a small environmental footprint. The third-party fulfillers make products on-demand, which means there are no warehouses full of unsold stock, and as a result, less waste. Over 90% of the third-party fulfillers that use the marketplace are based in the same region as the customers, which significantly reduces the carbon emissions from international shipping. We also offset carbon emissions from shipping for all products sold via our marketplace. This is a great start, but we have more to do to manage the Group value chain’s environmental impacts. While we don’t own the businesses in the supply chain, we are mindful of our collective environmental footprint. We identify environmental benchmarks for the third-party fulfillers and we are assessing how we can help artists be more sustainable in their designs and support the circular economy through setting specific goals and targets in these areas allowing us to track our impact. RB Group is committed to compliance with all applicable environmental legislation. The Directors are not aware of any material breaches of any environmental legislation affecting the Group’s operations. Social Social good is part of the Group’s DNA. The artists, employees and third-party fulfillers that participate in the marketplace are crucial to the delivery of our social mission and ultimately our success. Being socially responsible means treating artists with respect, backing our employees on issues they care about and ensuring that we only engage with third-party fulfillers that ensure fair working conditions for their staff. The Redbubble marketplace gives 728,000 independent artists a new way to express themselves. Artists have the flexibility to set their own pricing for their products to ensure they are paid fairly and have control over what they earn. We also have anti-piracy and watermark features to make sure that artists’ creations are protected. 24 25 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 We have a diverse and distributed employee base in the United States, Australia and Germany, and are committed to building a workforce reflective of the communities we serve, of which we are individually and collectively members. Many of our employees choose to work in our organisation because they believe in our social mission. In early 2021, we launched a new Group Diversity Policy, to restate, reinforce and raise the bar on our diversity objectives and commitments. We are proud to report that 40% of our Board identify as female and six of the eight direct reports to the Group CEO identify as female. Redbubble and TeePublic have programs and strategies in place to promote diversity and inclusion, aligned to each company’s business and community contexts. These enable us to achieve our Group objectives and commitments and deliver an inclusive workplace environment, where belonging underpins our collective impact and outcomes. While we have been successful in achieving strong representation of women within our leadership team, we know that identity extends beyond gender; it is fluid, complex and multifaceted, and there is more work to be done to achieve greater representation in our broader workforce, and among our partners and artists. The COVID-19 pandemic challenged us to better support our workforce during this time of uncertainty. We responded by giving our employees flexibility in their working conditions and greater support for their health and wellbeing. The Group strives to inspire our employees and the marketplace customers every day, and to treat members of the artist and wider communities with compassion. Our Community Collective is an employee-driven initiative that looks to extend this compassion into our local communities. In previous years we’ve partnered with organisations who focus on issues like the environment, cancer, HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, and poverty. In the current year, due to the impacts of COVID, we have shifted our efforts to donating clothing and tech equipment to communities and schools in need. For this year’s Black History Month celebration, the Group partnered with Black Art Futures Fund (BAFF) to make a significant financial and cultural contribution to an artist community outside of the Group. Black Art Futures Fund provides general operating support for U.S. small and community- based Black-led and Black-benefitting arts and culture organisations. Greater transparency and collaboration across the marketplace supply chain will help us continue to mitigate associated risks and promote responsible working practices. Like our supplier environmental standards above, we also have social standards that all third-party fulfillers have agreed to comply with in order to use the Group’s marketplaces. We expect the fulfillers to ensure that their employees have safe working conditions and to treat their employees with respect and dignity, in line with the Australian Modern Slavery Act, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act and the Fair Labor Association Code of Conduct. Governance To succeed in bringing more creativity into the world in a fair and ethical way, we rely on strong governance practices to help us navigate rapidly evolving regulations and stakeholder expectations. We look to our leadership team for direction on ethics and moral standards. We aim to maintain an open marketplace where artists are free to express themselves, whilst protecting marketplace users from abusive, hateful or racist content. While we do our best to strike a balance between freedom and protection, this can sometimes be challenging in a marketplace of user generated content. We strive for the highest governance and risk management standards. These standards are described in Redbubble’s Corporate Governance Statement - available to view in the Corporate Governance section of the Redbubble Ltd Investor Centre at: shareholders.redbubble.com. Our policies and statements guide how we address the issues that affect our business and enable us to take swift mitigating actions. We are now looking to more transparently and assertively address the key governance issue areas for our stakeholders, especially our shareholder base. We will also continue to improve our operational procedures for data security and privacy, content moderation and ethical business conduct to ensure we remain agile and responsive to changes in our operating landscape. Risk Framework The Group acknowledges that it has an obligation to shareholders, customers, employees, creatives and contractors to implement a risk management framework that reflects its risk appetite, thus contributing to the achievement of its strategic objectives. RB Group seeks to take and manage risk in ways that will generate and protect shareholder value. The Group is committed to ensuring that a consistent and integrated approach to managing risk is established at all levels and is embedded in its processes and culture. The Group has a risk appetite the objective of which is to foster a culture of innovation. The Redbubble Board is aware that an overly cautious approach to risk management may have a harmful impact on the achievement of strategic and operational objectives. For this reason, the Board encourages prudent risk taking by RB Group staff that balances the risks of action versus inaction and subject always to applicable RB Group policies. The Board and management have agreed on specific risk tolerance levels for each risk within these categories and review the tolerance levels in the annual risk review: ● Strategic risk; ● Operational risk; ● Reputational risk; ● Financial risk; ● People and Culture risk; and ● Legal & Regulatory Compliance risk. 26 27 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Redbubble Governance The Redbubble Board is ultimately responsible for ensuring risk management processes have been established and are operating effectively. The Redbubble Audit and Risk Committee, through its Charter, is responsible for overseeing the Group’s ongoing risk management program framework and any key supporting policies and procedures. The Audit and Risk Committee ensures that the scope of the annual risk review encompasses whether the Group is operating with due regard to the Board’s risk appetite. The CEO and the Executive Team are responsible for managing and embedding risk management practices throughout the Group. Framework for Managing Risk The Group has adopted a risk management strategy that aims to identify and minimise the potential for loss while also maximising strategic opportunities for growth and enhanced service delivery and profitability. RB Group’s Risk Framework, Principles and Process is consistent with the following model from AS/NZ ISO 31000:2018: The Risk Framework outlines the responsibilities for risk management at all levels in the organisation. The Board approves a Delegation Register that provides for delegation to management in specific areas and prescribes the limits on such delegations. The Framework also supports these responsibilities by defining a risk reporting structure, expectations and the resources and tools required.

These risks are largely outside of RB Group’s control, and are mitigated by current diversity in both product mix and geographic presence, combined with the intention to continue to grow the size of the overall revenue base. Whilst the Group benefited from an acceleration in online activity due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer behaviour, as the business cycles these comparatives and various geographies move to a post COVID normal there may be some short term volatility. ● Google search channel risk - RB Group has prioritised search engine optimisation initiatives, including improved user and crawler navigation experience and site speed. RB Group is also focused on further diversification of customer acquisition sources to reduce reliance on Google search. ● Litigation brought against RB Group for intellectual property infringement - Litigation risk arises from the RB Group marketplace’s roles as intermediaries for user-generated content. RB Group mitigates this risk in various ways, including by responding expeditiously to takedown notices from intellectual property rights holders; engaging in collaborative relationships with rightsholders to promote the integrity of hosted content (including by facilitating licensing through our Partner Program and by proactively finding and removing content through our Policing Program); developing automated platform software to manage content at scale; building our litigation capabilities and holding appropriate levels of insurance. RB Group will continue to mitigate its IP infringement litigation risk by further building its capabilities through process and technology improvements. ● Technology Security and Reliability Risk - As a technology‐focused business, managing security, and taking care of consumer and customer data is essential. To manage this risk, the Group has developed and tested its disaster recovery capability and procedures, implemented high availability infrastructure and architectures, and continually monitors our systems for signs of poor performance, intrusion or interruption. The Group maintains appropriate data management, security and compliance policies, procedures and practices in place. ● Platform / Technology constraints - ‘Technical debt’ slows delivery of marketplace improvements. Consistent investment in eliminating platform and technology constraints will be required to further improve the Group’s marketplaces. ● Privacy and Data Protection Compliance Risk - Compliance with applicable Privacy and Data Protection Laws, including the GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Act 1988 remains an ongoing focus. The Group has implemented appropriate data security measures; including preventative, detective and responsive capabilities. A Data Breach Response Plan is in place and is strictly adhered to. ● Attracting and retaining top talent in business critical functions - The Group continues to encounter competition for talent across all our locations. The mitigations for this risk have included improvements to the executive compensation plan in FY2021 and compensation adjustments for key talent roles.

There is not a 1 to 1 relationship with the number of SARs on issue and the number of shares that will be issued upon exercise. (2) Restricted stock units granted do not have an expiry date. Ordinarily these vest and are settled according to a participants’ vesting schedule, and any outstanding restricted stock units are otherwise forfeited when a participant no longer satisfies the service conditions in their agreement. Holders of options or performance rights do not, by virtue of their holdings, have any pre-emptive right to participate in any share issue of the Company or any related body corporate. The Financial Report contains details of the total number of ordinary shares in the Company issued following exercise of options and vesting of performance rights during the 2021 financial year. The following table shows the total number of ordinary shares in the Company issued following exercise of options and vesting of performance rights since the end of the 2021 financial year, to the date of this Report: Indemnification and insurance of officers The Company has entered into Deeds of Indemnity with all its Directors in accordance with the Company’s constitution. During the 2021 financial year, the Company paid a premium to insure the Directors, Officers and Managers of RB Group entities. The insurance contract requires that the amount of the premium paid is confidential. Proceedings against entities within the Group Although the Group is strictly a service provider that does not sell or manufacture the products sold on the Redbubble and TeePublic marketplaces, it periodically receives notices alleging infringement of third party copyright, trade marks, other intellectual property rights or publicity rights via the marketplaces or for breach of consumer protection laws. This is not uncommon for marketplaces that host user generated content. As at the date of these financial statements there are current lawsuits filed against entities within RB Group that relate to alleged intellectual property infringement and/or breach of consumer laws. There is no certainty around the amount or timing of any outflow (or inflow from related insurance recoveries) should any of the actions ultimately be successful (at first instance or on appeal, as applicable). RB Group does not currently consider that any of the current proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on the business or financial position of the Group. RB Group is not aware of any other current or material threats of civil litigation proceedings, arbitration proceedings, administration appeals, or criminal or governmental prosecutions in which entities within the Group are directly or indirectly concerned.

Overview of company performance and remuneration outcomes The business has performed exceptionally well within a challenging macro environment. Record Marketplace Revenue of $553 million and EBITDA of $53 million, driven by a 54% increase in selling artists (to 728,000) and a 40% increase in unique customers (to 9.5 million) have demonstrated the strength of the marketplace model. This level of business performance enables Redbubble to commit to the investment required for continued growth, including investing in our people – domestically and around the world - that will underpin our ability to build long term value for shareholders. Turning to our people, COVID-19 continued to impact business operations throughout the entire period. Our teams in Melbourne, San Francisco, New York and Berlin, continued to operate almost completely remotely. Given the operating environment and the level of business growth experienced, our management and staff have experienced significantly increased workloads during FY2021. We are very proud of the outcomes our people have achieved in these challenging circumstances. Other marketplace participants, such as the third party fulfillers and logistics partners faced their own workplace limitations but were able to continue producing and shipping products to customers and we thank them for continuing to meet Redbubble’s service standards, and to service the artist community with such care and diligence. This Report details the remuneration arrangements for the KMP being those persons who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of RB Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise). The FY2020 long-term incentive share price appreciation target was achieved in July 2020, as is detailed in Section 4.3. Further remuneration decisions and outcomes are detailed in Sections 4 & 5 of this Remuneration Report. 44 45 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Successful transition to a new CEO Remuneration Framework Changes In January 2021, the Board was pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Michael Ilczynski as the new CEO of Redbubble. Mr Ilczynski has extensive experience in helping Australian companies to become global forces in the technology and consumer space, having worked in a range of senior roles in Australia and overseas. That track-record, including the successful development of his teams, evolution of products and his experience in scaling businesses are the right combination to continue Redbubble’s transition from a niche to mainstream global consumer marketplace. Further information on Mr Ilczynski’s remuneration and contractual arrangements can be found in section 4.4. As a result of Mr Ilczynski’s appointment, our interim CEO and Managing Director, Mr Martin Hosking, has returned to his role as Non-Executive Director, as was foreshadowed in last year’s Remuneration Report. Remuneration strategy overview Our remuneration strategy is designed to support the business strategy and drive sustainable outperformance over the long-term. The remuneration framework itself is subject to ongoing improvement to ensure it maintains the strongest alignment possible with shareholder experience and with contemporary executive compensation philosophy and practice. As shareholders may recall, the RB Group Executive Compensation Model (RECM) applies to the Company’s senior executives and provides a strong foundation to attract and retain talent and align them with building long-term value for shareholders. The objectives of the RECM are to: ● Link executive performance with RB Group’s financial goals; ● Motivate executives to create sustainable, long-term value for shareholders; ● Align the leadership team by providing consistent goals that encourage a long-term focus; and ● Attract and retain exceptional talent in globally competitive, highly mobile markets. During FY2021, the Board implemented several changes to the RECM framework to further strengthen the alignment between senior executives and shareholders (refer to section 4.2 for further detail on these changes): ● The Long Term Incentive (LTI) performance period has been amended (in relation to future awards), with a minimum of 3 years required for any awards to vest (previously the minimum performance period was 1 year). The share appreciation rights remain as the instrument, with a 10% compound TSR requirement needed to be achieved for any LTI awards to vest. The awards, should they not vest after 3 years, are able to vest after years 4 or 5, with the required compounding rate continuing throughout these years; and ● The former long term equity award has been repositioned as Base Equity (BE), forming part of the base compensation of senior executives, but with a direct link to shareholder value creation. The Board also implemented several changes in relation Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) remuneration (refer to section 5.1 for further detail on these changes): ● Removal of the deferred equity component such that Board Fees are now paid entirely in cash, but with the introduction of a minimum shareholding expectation; and ● Increases to NED base fees, in consideration of the increasing scale and complexity of the business. On behalf of the Board, we invite you to read the Report and we look forward to receiving your feedback at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Our RECM creates strong shareholder alignment through the incorporation of significant deferred equity components to encourage executives to behave like owners of the business. It is through this ownership that executives are driven to create long-term shareholder value. Ben Heap Chair People and Nomination Committee We are committed to engage with our shareholders and other key stakeholders in relation to the Company’s remuneration strategy and to continuously improve the effectiveness of our remuneration arrangements. 46 47 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Contents 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

How Remuneration is Governed 2.1 People and Nomination Committee Role The role of the People and Nomination Committee (Committee) is to ensure that the RB Group has appropriate remuneration and retention strategies to attract and retain high quality talent - both locally and globally - to enable the Company to execute its mission and purpose, in order to build long-term value for shareholders. The members of the Committee during FY2021 were: ● Ben Heap - Independent Non-Executive Chair; ● Anne Ward - Independent Non-Executive Member; ● Jenny Macdonald - Independent Non-Executive Member; and ● Martin Hosking - Non-Executive Member (from 9 February 2021) 48 49 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 2.2 Remuneration Governance Overview 2.3 Remuneration Benchmarking Redbubble Board ● Overall Responsibilty for the remuneration strategy and outcomes for executives and non-executive directors ● Reviews and approves recommendations from the People and Remuneration Committee The quantum of both Fixed Salary and the Total Remuneration Package are generally positioned having consideration for benchmarking data, relevant market conditions and sentiment, the trajectory of the company’s growth, strategic objectives, competency and skillset of individuals, scarcity of talent, changes in role complexities and the geographical spread of the company and of the relevant talent pool. Market benchmarks are undertaken independently and set with reference to market capitalisation, and with reference to industry sector and levels of business complexity, as determined by external advisors, in collaboration with the Committee each year. People and Nomination Committee 2.4 Clawback of Remuneration ● Four Non-Executive Directors (75% Independent with an Independent Chair) make recommendations to the Board on remuneration strategy, governance and policy for Executive KMP and Non-Executive Directors ● The Committee is responsible for reviewing and advising the Board on remuneration policies and practices. This Committee also reviews and advises the Board on the design and implementation of performance packages, superannuation entitlements, termination entitlements and fringe benefits policies. The Committee also manages the nomination process of Board members and the selection of the CEO ● The remuneration of Directors, the CEO, KMP and other Executives is reviewed by the Committee which then provides recommendations to the Board. Management Remuneration Advisors Provides information to the PNC in relation to: ● Incentive targets and outcomes ● Remuneration Policy ● Short and Long-term incentive participation eligibility ● Individual remuneration and contractual arrangements for executives ● Annual performance reviews and target setting ● Provide external independent advice, information and recommendations relevant to remuneration decisions ● The Committee periodically engages the services of independent external consultants to provide insights on KMP remuneration trends, regulatory and governance updates, pros and cons of possible alternatives, and market data. No remuneration recommendations as defined in Section 9B of the Corporations Act 2001 were obtained during FY21 In the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement of RB Group’s financial statements, the Board has the discretion to reduce, cancel or clawback any unvested equity or other long term incentive. 2.5 Standard Employment Arrangements Executives are employed on open ended individual employment agreements that set out the terms of their employment. Each Agreement varies according to the individual Executive but typically includes: ● Termination provisions incorporating six month notice periods (to manage business continuity risk during any executive transition) ● The Board may in certain circumstances apply discretion to approve a payment of up to six months’ salary; ● Performance and confidentiality obligations on the part of both the employer and employee; ● Limited non-solicitation and post-employment restriction provisions; and ● Eligibility to participate in the RB Group RECM (or other transitional compensation plans). Specific employment arrangements for our CEO, Mr Ilczynski, are included in section 4.4. 50 51 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 3.

Executive Remuneration 4.1 Remuneration Objectives & Strategy RB Group’s vision is to scale the business to be a global leading online marketplace platform and an enduring organisation that creates value for shareholders over the long-term. RB Group operates in four highly competitive global talent markets - Melbourne, San Francisco, New York and Berlin. Attracting and retaining talent in these markets must be supported by a compelling remuneration strategy. The RECM is designed to attract, motivate and retain proven, global executive talent who will successfully execute on RB Group’s vision and strategy in a manner that aligns with the company’s values. The RECM recognises compensation needs to be positioned to extract mid-career executives on a strong earnings trajectory from roles in companies that provide them with the experience that RB Group needs. The Board sets key annual result areas for the CEO and tracks performance against those objectives. The CEO sets semi-annual performance objectives with each senior executive, in support of company objectives, behaviours that are in line with our purpose and values, key results and personal development areas. Performance against these objectives, along with total company performance informs annual compensation reviews for all executives. The performance of all senior executives reporting to the CEO is also discussed with the Committee semi-annually to ensure all leaders are meeting performance expectations in terms of both behaviours and outcomes. The Committee believes that traditional short term incentives may encourage a focus on short- term performance at the expense of long-term value creation. This is compounded by the difficulty of setting short-term targets in a fast paced growth environment. Under the RECM, the value of Base Equity and Long Term Incentive components are fundamentally dependent on share price performance, aligning executives with shareholder interests. Furthermore, the Committee has carefully considered a wide range of performance scenarios and outcomes in order to ensure the remuneration outcomes are consistent with its expectations in those circumstances. 52 53 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Executive remuneration levels are reviewed regularly by the Committee with reference to RB Group’s remuneration strategy, company performance, talent competitor market activity and external benchmarks. Fixed Salary Fixed salary and superannuation(3) intended to provide the Executives with the financial resources commensurate with executives at companies of a similar size in that location. Link Motivate Align Attract & Retain executive performance with RB Group’s financial goals executives to create sustainable, long-term value for shareholders the leadership team by providing consistent goals which encourage a long-term focus exceptional talent in globally competitive, highly mobile markets FY2021 Base Equity (BE) BE ensures immediate alignment between executives and shareholders and creates an owner mindset in executives that has a retention impact within the compensation year. Executives are taking on risk when accepting part of their base compensation in equity. Equity is also required to be held for one year post vesting to ensure focus on sustainable share value appreciation. The BE is part of the base compensation and does not have a performance hurdle but rather varies in value with the Company’s share price. It is designed to ensure executives act as owners from the outset with a focus on sustainable value creation rather than short-term financial metrics which may be incompatible with shareholder longer-term interests. Further, with US and other overseas remuneration practices in mind, the Board has assessed many alternative remuneration structures, noting that we acknowledge this award does not reflect typical Australian market practice. The Board determined that having a deferred equity component such as this BE award to be best fit- for-purpose at this time to best align executives with shareholder experience in conjunction with the newly structured LTI award, noting that this approach to remuneration is widely accepted internationally. The BE component of the RECM operates as outlined below: 4.2 Elements of Remuneration The following remuneration mix summarises the key components, and weightings associated, that make up the RECM: BE instrument Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) for US-based executives and US citizens resident in Australia or Germany. RSUs are rights to be issued Redbubble shares upon satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions. Executive KMP Michael Ilczynski Emma Clark (1) Assumes full vesting of LTI. Role CEO CFO Fixed Salary Base Equity (BE) Long Term Incentive (LTI) (1) $800,000 $450,000 $400,000 $225,000 $800,000 $450,000 Grant quantum Grant date Vesting date Zero-priced options (ZPOs) for Australian-based (non-US resident) executives. ZPOs are call options to acquire Redbubble shares, with a zero exercise price to convert the option into shares. The grant quantum of the BE award to executives is calculated as a percentage of fixed salary. Grants are made on 1 October of the relevant year following the setting of total compensation for the year and Board approval. Grants vest after 12 months, subject to the executive remaining in service with an RB Group company at the vesting date. The Board has unfettered discretion to determine any adjustment to awards at time of vesting. Disposal restriction period 12 months following vesting. Holding period remains in place even if employment ends. Officers & Executives of the Group are subject to the RB Group share trading policy. 54 55 (3) Australia only RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Termination Executives forfeit grants that have not vested. Clawback Change of Control Holding periods remain on foot. The Board has unfettered discretion to award pro rata vesting in the event of an employee’s termination. In the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement of RB Group’s financial statements, the Board has the discretion to reduce, cancel or clawback BE to the extent that the law will allow. The early vesting of any unvested awards may be permitted by the Board in other limited circumstances such as a change in control of Redbubble. In these circumstances the Board will determine the timing and proportion of any unvested awards that vest. FY2021 Long-Term Incentive (LTI) It is intended that LTI will allow executives to access uncapped fair upside based on strong shareholder value creation, while assuming significant risk as the SARs have no value unless the executive remains with the business for a minimum of 3 years and enterprise value grows at a rate that provides shareholders with attractive returns. The LTI component of the RECM operates as outlined below: LTI instrument Share Appreciation Rights (SARs) Grant quantum Grant date The grant quantum of the LTI award to executives is calculated as a percentage of fixed salary. Grants are made on 1 October of the relevant year following the setting of total compensation for the year and Board approval. Vesting date & conditions The LTI’s vest on the earlier of either the third, fourth or fifth anniversaries following the grant date subject to: • The Executive remaining employed at RB Group (time vesting) • The achievement of a compounding target of 10% Total Shareholder Return (TSR) per annum on either the third, fourth or fifth anniversaries following the grant date. The compounding return target to be determined based on a 10% per annum Total Shareholder Return (TSR) from time of grant. TSR is calculated as the total of the share price appreciation plus any dividends paid during the period. TSR has been chosen as the appropriate target so that Executives are fully aligned with shareholders. Disposal restriction period 12 months following vesting. Holding period remains in place even if employment ends. Termination Should a participant exit during the LTI vesting period, participants will retain pro-rata retention of LTI awards that have yet to vest. Pro-rata retention has the following conditions: • The employee must have been part of the RECM LTI program for at least 3 years • The employee must not be considered a “bad leaver” • The employee must have served at least 12 months of a grant’s vesting period to be entitled to a pro-rata portion • The award retained will be pro-rata for the number of months since that award was granted and the employee’s resignation, divided by the total number of months until First testing of that award • The pro-rata award remains subject to all testing, disposal restriction and other conditions • Once an award has achieved its TSR hurdle and has vested, the (former) employee will have 90 days to exercise before the equity expires The Board retains complete discretion in these matters. Strike price Strike price is set on 1 October based on 30 day VWAP. The Board retains Board discretion in respect of adjusting the strike price if it considers there have been unusual trading circumstances within the 30 day period. For FY2021 the strike price was $4.2126. SARs valuation used for the allocation of equity The dollar amount of equity is converted to SARs at the fair market value determined at the beginning of grant period based on a Black Scholes valuation of the SAR. The Black Scholes valuation will use the 30 (calendar) day VWAP calculated on 1 October and be calculated on an “unhurdled” basis i.e. valued for the purposes of equity allocation as if there was no performance hurdle. Expiration 6 years from grant date and therefore the SARs must be exercised by this point or they lapse. Hedging Clawback Change of Control Upon resignation or termination, the exercise period for SARs ends 90 days following the date of resignation or termination unless the Board decides otherwise. Executives are prohibited from hedging under RB Group’s Share Trading policy and clawback under existing rules. In the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement of RB Group’s financial statements, the Board has the discretion to reduce, cancel or clawback LTI to the extent that the law will allow. The early vesting of any unvested awards may be permitted by the Board in other limited circumstances such as a change in control of Redbubble. In these circumstances the Board will determine the timing and proportion of any unvested awards that vest. 56 57 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Vesting and exercise periods of the LTI 4.4 CEO Employment Arrangements YEAR 0 YEAR 1 YEAR 2 YEAR 3 YEAR 4 YEAR 5 Period 1 Period 2 Period 3 Period 4 Period 5 Share price of 133% of strike price Executive can exercise if year 3 conditions are met Share price of 146% of strike price Executive can exercise if year 4 conditions are met Share price of 161% of strike price Executive can exercise if year 5 conditions are met Legend Exercise condition testing period Exercise condition achieved Exercise condition not achieved Exercise condition requirement (10%CAGR) 4.3 LTI Outcomes Ms Clark, our CFO, was the only KMP Executive to have an eligible LTI Award vest during the year, as is outlined in the table below: Participant Grant Date Vesting Date Share price performance calculated to trigger exercise condition achievement (90 day VWAP calculated from 25 April 2020 to 23 July 2020) FY2020 Minimum health conditions (Cash Balance, Artist & Content Growth, Customer Loyalty, and People & Culture)* Percent vested due to service and performance based vesting FY2020 LTI Award Emma Clark 1 October 2019 1 October 2020 Increase of 11% at 23 July 2020 Achieved 100% * Minimum health conditions applied in relation to the LTI equity award issued for FY2020. The principles behind the minimum health metrics remain an important part of annual Executive performance evaluation; however, these conditions have been removed from the LTI award methodology in FY2021. The Board continues to review the remuneration framework on an annual basis to ensure it provides a strong foundation to attract and retain talent and align them with building long-term value for shareholders. The employment of Mr Ilczynski, our CEO, is governed by an Employment Agreement that commenced 4 January 2021. The table below summarises the compensation arrangements of Mr Ilczynski: Remuneration Element Contracted Annual Remuneration Fixed Salary Base Equity (BE) $800,000 inclusive of superannuation $400,000 (50% of fixed salary) Long-Term Incentive (LTI) $800,000 (100% of fixed salary) The Company also entered into a one-off limited recourse Loan Arrangement with Mr Ilczynski at the time of his appointment (see section 7.6 for further information). 4.5 Executive KMP Terminations during the year Mr Hosking ceased to be the interim CEO and Managing Director of RB Group on 27 January 2021. Mr Hosking was paid a pro-rata proportion of his contracted bonus ($300,000) following his time as interim CEO and Managing Director at the period to 27 January, as well as being paid his agreed fixed remuneration until 27 January 2021. Mr Hosking has since returned to the Board as a non-executive director. Details of Mr Hosking’s remuneration throughout FY2021 can be found in section 6.1. 5. Non-executive Director (NED) Remuneration 5.1 NED Remuneration Policy RB Group seeks to attract and retain high calibre Non-Executive Directors who will provide good governance, strong oversight, independence, a range of skills and alignment of interests with long- term share price appreciation. During FY2021, the Committee undertook a review of the level of Board fees awarded to NEDs. As part of this review, the Committee considered not only the level, but also the structure of NED remuneration and how it could be enhanced to best align with shareholder expectations, whilst attracting and retaining high calibre NEDs. The Committee also considered the increasing scale and complexity of the business. 58 59 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 The following fees were approved, effective 1 November 2020, as a part of a review of the NED Remuneration Policy: Chair Member Board Audit & Risk Committee $250,000 $120,000 $15,000 Nil People & Nomination Committee $15,000 Nil It was further resolved that all Board fees would be paid entirely in cash (and therefore, no deferred equity grants were made to NEDs in FY2021). The above fees apply to all of Redbubble’s NEDs, except for Mr Lockwood and Mr Hosking. Mr Lockwood is a partner with Piton Capital, a private equity firm with a shareholding in RB Group. Mr Lockwood receives no remuneration from RB Group, in accordance with Piton Capital’s policy that their partners do not accept remuneration for external board positions. Mr Hosking has declined to accept remuneration for his role as a NED of Redbubble. 5.2 Maximum Aggregate NED Fee Pool The total amount paid to all Directors for their services must not exceed in aggregate in any financial year the amount fixed by shareholders in a general meeting, currently set at $1,200,000 which has remained unchanged since the Company’s IPO in 2016. Any changes to this amount in future will require approval by shareholders in a general meeting in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. 5.3 Other Information NEDs are reimbursed for all reasonable travel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending Board meetings or any meetings of committees of the Board, in attending any general meetings of Redbubble or otherwise in connection with the business or affairs of RB Group. NEDs may be paid additional or special remuneration if they, with the approval of the Board, perform any extra services or make special exertions for the benefit of RB Group. There are no retirement benefit schemes for Directors. The remuneration of the NEDs in FY2021 is set out in detail in section 6.2.

Other Information 7.1 Minimum Shareholding Expectation The Board has set minimum shareholding expectations for the Directors and Executives to promote alignment between their interests and those of shareholders. In the case of Executives, the design of the RECM ensures that all Executives progressively acquire shares or other equity instruments, so that they are aligned in building long term value for shareholders. The RECM operates to ensure that over time the Executives will acquire an equity exposure equal to or greater in value than 100% of their annual base salaries. In the case of NEDs, who are paid entirely in cash and do not participate in any incentive program, the Board has introduced a minimum shareholding expectation. NEDs are expected to progressively acquire shares over a three year period from the date of their appointment (or, for existing directors, within three years from the 1 November 2020 commencement of this requirement) and within this timeframe are expected to hold shares equal in value to their annual base fees at the time of their appointment. Direct and indirect shares and equity instruments (such as RSUs, ZPOs and SARs) count towards this minimum shareholding target. 7.2 Options and Share Appreciation Rights The tables below disclose the number of share options and share appreciation rights granted, exercised, vested or forfeited during the year. 64 65 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Option holdings Limited recourse loan share option holdings (1) Share options do not carry any voting or dividend rights, and can only be exercised once the vesting conditions have been met, until their expiry date.

Basis of preparation 2. Changes in significant accounting policies The consolidated financial statements of Redbubble Limited and its controlled entities (the Group) for the year ended 30 June 2021 were authorised for issue by a resolution of the Directors on 19 August 2021. Redbubble Limited (the Company or the parent) is a for profit company incorporated and domiciled in Australia and whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. The Group, through its websites at Redbubble.com, TeePublic.com and three foreign language Redbubble.com websites, owns and operates the Redbubble and TeePublic online marketplaces. These marketplaces facilitate the sale and purchase of art and designs on a range of products between independent creatives and consumers. The products are produced and shipped by third party service providers (i.e. product manufacturers, printers and shipping companies) referred to as fulfillers. These financial statements: ● are general purpose financial statements; ● cover Redbubble Limited and its controlled entities as the consolidated Group. Redbubble Limited is the ultimate parent entity of the Group; ● have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001; ● comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); ● have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention; ● are presented in Australian dollars with all values rounded off in accordance with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission 2016/191 Legislative Instrument, to the nearest thousand dollars or in certain other cases, nearest dollar, unless otherwise stated; and ● apply significant accounting policies consistently to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. Comparatives are also consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and exercise of significant judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement and use of estimates are disclosed in the relevant notes. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future which may not equal the actual results. There are no new or amended accounting standards that required Redbubble to change its accounting policies for the 2021 financial year. 3. Revenue from contracts with customers The Group provides internet-based marketplace platforms and associated services to facilitate the sale of goods from artists to those who want to purchase goods bearing the artists’ designs. Artists display and sell art via the Group’s websites. The Group aggregates demand from the buyers to support preferential relationships between third party suppliers, fulfillers and drop shippers and the artists, using the Group’s platforms. Under AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers the Group is the principal for accounting purposes in the sale of goods bearing artists’ designs. Artists’ revenue is included in revenue with the corresponding artists’ margin being recognised in operating expenses. The Group has concluded there is only one performance obligation for goods bearing the artists’ designs. Both the artist and the Group are involved in satisfying the performance obligation. The performance obligation is satisfied (and therefore revenue is recognised) when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which is deemed to be when the product is delivered. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of trade discounts, returns, rebates, taxes and transaction fraud. Critical accounting estimates and judgements All of the unearned revenue balance as at 30 June 2020 was recognised as revenue during the FY2021 year. All of the unearned revenue balance at 30 June 2021 is expected to be recognised as revenue within the following month. Where possible the Group uses delivery tracking information to calculate the volume of goods in transit at the end of the reporting period. When delivery tracking information is not available the group estimates the likely delivery timeframe using average delivery times and information from shipping partners. For information regarding disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers refer to note 25. 78 79 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 4. Employee and contractor costs 7. Income tax Salary costs Contractor costs Share-based payments expense Superannuation and other pension related costs (1) Termination benefits Restructure costs 2021 $'000 41,880 13,219 6,705 2,730 - - 2020 $'000 39,113 6,569 8,031 2,708 530 2,545 Total employee and contractor costs 64,534 59,496 (1) Includes contribution to 401K funds, which is the superannuation equivalent for the US subsidiaries, and contributions to pension funds in Germany. 5.

Operations and administration Technology infrastructure and software costs Other operations and administration expenses Total operations and administration expenses 2021 $'000 19,060 9,887 28,947 2020 $'000 14,704 9,483 24,342 Recognition of tax expense / (benefit) The tax expense recognised in the statement of comprehensive income relates to current income tax expense plus deferred tax expense (being the movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused tax losses during the year). The tax effect of share based payment awards granted is recognised in current income tax expense, except to the extent that the total tax deductions are expected to exceed the cumulative remuneration expense. In this situation, the excess of the associated current or deferred tax is recognised in equity and forms part of the treasury shares reserve. Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in the income statement for the period except where the tax arises from a transaction which is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity respectively. Current tax Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable / (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit / (taxable loss) for the year and is measured at the amount expected to be paid to / (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences which are determined by comparing the carrying amounts of tax bases of assets and liabilities to the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent: ● it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised; ● the likelihood of achieving appropriate continuity of ownership levels and continuing to meet the relevant definitions of “same business” are met; and ● there are no changes in tax legislation that adversely affect the ability to realise the deferred tax asset benefits. 80 81 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the intention is to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered. Critical accounting estimates and judgements Current and deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue, expense and equity items, the incurrence of tax losses and entitlement to non-refundable tax offsets. In evaluating the Group’s ability to recover deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Group considers all available positive and negative evidence, including probability of achieving appropriate continuity of ownership levels, likelihood of meeting relevant definitions of “same business”, expected reversals of temporary differences, projected future taxable income and results of recent operations. This evaluation requires significant management estimates and judgments. The Group has in aggregate $92.4 million (2020: $83.7 million) of unrecognised losses and $9.6 million (2020: $8.7 million) of unrecognised R&D tax offsets. An unrecognised deferred tax asset of $37.3 million exists as at 30 June 2021 (2020: $33.9 million), in relation to these items. These losses will be recognised at a future point in time when sustainable taxable income can be reliably estimated. In addition, the Group has unrecognised temporary deferred income tax items that will be recognised on a similar basis (a) Income tax expense / (benefit) recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income Recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income Current tax Current tax expense / (benefit) Under/(over) provision in prior years Deferred tax Deferred tax expense / (benefit) Under/(over) provision in prior years 2021 $'000 9,902 (24) (2,076) 54 Total income tax expense / (benefit) recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income 7,856 (b) Current tax assets / (liabilities) The current tax asset is comprised of the following Current tax expense recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income Current tax benefit recorded in equity (1) Total net current tax payable on current year operations Tax instalments made and refunds due for prior years Total current tax asset 2021 $'000 (9,902) 9,900 (2) 1,272 1,270 2020 $'000 339 18 (530) (50) (223) 2020 $'000 (339) - (339) 1,371 1,032 (1) The tax effect of share based payment awards granted is recognised in current income tax expense, except to the extent that the total tax deductions are expected to exceed the cumulative remuneration expense. In this situation, the excess of the associated current or deferred tax is recognised in equity and forms part of the treasury shares reserve.

Earnings per share Basic earnings per share (EPS) Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. Diluted EPS Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company (after adjusting for the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with the dilutive potential ordinary shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. Basic and diluted earnings per share The following table reflects the profit / (loss) and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS calculations: Profit / (loss) attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the company used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share Weighted average number of shares used as the denominator Weighted average number of shares used as denominator in calculating basic earnings per share Adjustments for calculation of diluted earnings per shares: Add: Options Add: Restricted stock units Add: Share appreciation rights 2021 $'000 31,247 2020 $'000 (8,771) 2021 Number 2020 Number 270,031,293 259,379,690 4,269,483 1,156,139 1,652,778 - - - Weighted average number of shares used as denominator in calculating diluted earnings per share 277,109,693 259,379,690 (1) In the prior year, none of the options, restricted stock units and share appreciation rights that could be considered as potential ordinary shares have been included in determination of diluted EPS, since they are anti-dilutive. Due to losses incurred, inclusion of potential ordinary shares in weighted average number of shares would increase the denominator used in calculating diluted EPS and thereby reduce the loss per share. There have been no other transactions involving ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares between the reporting date and the date of authorisation of these financial statements that would significantly impact the above calculations. 85 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 9.

The Board oversees and monitors senior management’s implementation of the Group’s risk management framework. This is based on recommendations from the Audit and Risk Committee, where appropriate. The risk management framework includes policies and procedures approved by the Board and managed by internal legal counsel and the Finance function.

Refer to note 14 for more information on lease liabilities. (a) Market risk Foreign exchange risk The Group collects funds from customers in five currencies (USD, AUD, EUR, CAD and GBP) and maintains bank accounts in these currencies. The Group has liabilities to fulfillers, artists and other suppliers in these currencies. Where possible, the Group settles its liabilities in the native currency hence creating a partial natural hedge. Any surplus funds are converted into the required currencies’ operating accounts when management feels it is prudent to do so. 86 87 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Increased sales volumes during the year have led to larger foreign currency cash balances as at 30 June 2021. The net exposure to foreign currency financial instruments (expressed in AUD) held by the Group, which are largely held by the US subsidiaries whose functional currency is USD and Redbubble Ltd whose functional currency is AUD, are as follows: Net exposure (asset / (liability) (expressed in $’AUD) 30 June 2021 30 June 2020 GBP $’000 3,924 4,206 USD $'000 35,964 (766) EUR $'000 4,361 (525) CAD $’000 2,809 2,984 Total $’000 47,058 5,899 The aggregate net foreign exchange gains / (losses) recognised in profit or loss were: Net foreign exchange loss included in other expenses 2021 $’000 (3,092) Total net foreign exchange losses recognised in profit / (loss) before income tax for the year (3,092) 2020 $’000 (1,860) (1,860) Foreign Currency Sensitivity Cash and bank balances / other financial assets As at 30 June 2021, the Group holds $1.3 million (2020: $13 million) in bank deposits within cash and cash equivalents and other assets, that attract interest at normal rates. The Group’s bank accounts are predominantly non-interest bearing accounts. The other financial assets include certain other operational deposits over and above the deposits placed with banks as security. The banks with which securities are held are reputable financial institutions and hence, the credit risk is considered low.  Other receivables The Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk on account of other receivables. The Group accepts payments either via credit card platforms, PayPal, Amazon Pay or Apple Pay. In any case, the Group ensures that cash is received prior to the product being manufactured. The other receivables balance as at 30 June 2021 represents amounts receivable from these payment service providers and other non-trade receivable balances. It is believed that the credit risk from collections from payment service providers is low. 2021 $’000 1,526 3,076 4,602 2020 $’000 4,614 622 5,236 The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in exchange rates with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. Receivables from payment service providers Other receivables Total other receivables (1) Change in FX rate + 10% - 10% + 10% - 10% Effect on profit before tax (amounts shown in AUD) GBP $’000 392 USD $'000 3,596 (392) (3,596) 421 (421) (77) 77 EUR $'000 436 (436) (53) 53 CAD $’000 281 Total $’000 4,706 (281) (4,706) 298 (298) 590 (590) Year 30 June 2021 30 June 2020 (b) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group faces primary credit risk from potential default on receivables by payment service providers. The Group receives payments of the balance due from two of the three service providers, every day, two to three days in arrears. The credit risk of balances held with the third party service provider is managed by regularly sweeping funds out of the provider accounts into a portfolio of managed banking facilities held with highly rated and regulated financial institutions. (1) None of the other receivables are impaired or past due date. The Group does not hold any collateral in relation to these receivables. The Group encounters credit card fraud typical of the industry in which it operates, representing less than 0.1% (2020: less than 0.1%) of marketplace revenue. (c) Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash in accordance with forecast cash usage. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, flexibility in funding is maintained by ensuring ready access to the cash reserves of the business. All financial liabilities (excluding lease liabilities and deferred consideration in FY20) are current and anticipated to be repaid over the normal payment terms, usually 30 days. Financial arrangements The Group had no borrowing facilities at the end of reporting period nor at the end of the prior reporting period. 88 89 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Maturities of financial liabilities 11. Other assets Financial liabilities owed by the Group at 30 June 2021 are $50.0 million (2020: $51.5 million). These items are based on contractual undiscounted payments.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. The ongoing maintenance of the Group’s policy is characterised by ongoing cash flow forecast analysis and detailed budgeting which is directed at providing a sound financial positioning for the Group’s operations and financial management activities. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment is measured on a cost basis and carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to dispose, and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately as a loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. No items of property, plant and equipment have been impaired in the financial year ending 30 June 2021 (2020: $nil). 92 93 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 13. Intangible Assets Recognition and measurement Capitalised development costs Goodwill Brand Name Amortisation Development expenditure is capitalised when future economic benefits are probable. The Group capitalises internal engineering time spent on development of the Redbubble and TeePublic marketplace websites. Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. All costs for Software as a Service (SaaS) are expensed. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. All of the goodwill held by the Group is attributable to the TeePublic cash generating unit (CGU). The brand name asset is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The brand name asset is attributable to the TeePublic cash generating unit (CGU). Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and is recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill is not amortised. The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows: Capitalised development costs: Goodwill (attributable to the TeePublic CGU): Brand name asset (attributable to the TeePublic CGU): 2–3 years Indefinite Indefinite The Brand name asset is considered to have an indefinite useful life as it is expected to contribute to future economic benefits as the Group continues to sell its products under the brand name indefinitely. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if deemed necessary. Critical accounting estimates and judgements Key assumptions used in value in use calculations and sensitivity to changes in assumptions The Group assesses the recoverability of its goodwill and brand name in the TeePublic CGU annually. Recoverable amounts have been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections over a 5 year period. Management have considered the potential impacts of trading volatility from COVID-19 in this assessment. The key assumptions in the calculation are as follows: (a) Growth rate The business growth rate in year 1 is based on the next financial year’s budget approved by the board. Growth in years 2 to 5 is based upon Management’s experience with the historical growth of the business and expectations about future performance. Cash flows beyond the forecast period are projected using a growth rate of 2.5% (2020: 2.5%). (b) Gross margins Gross margins are based on historical values and expectations about future performance. These values are increased over the forecast period for anticipated efficiency improvements as the business scales. (c) Discount rates The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 12.5% (2020: 13.9%). Discount rates represent the consideration of the time value of money and the individual risks of the underlying assets. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and is derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Adjustments to the discount rate are made to factor in the specific amount and timing of the future tax flows in order to reflect a pre-tax discount rate. Impairment The Group performed an impairment test as at 30 June 2021. Using the above assumptions, it was concluded that the carrying value of the Group’s CGUs does not exceed its value in use and therefore no impairment charge has been recognised. Sensitivity analysis has been completed which considered a range of possible scenarios. There is no reasonably possible change in key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount that would result in impairment. 94 95 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Cost Balance at 1 July 2020 Additions Disposals Exchange differences Balance at 30 June 2021 Balance at 1 July 2019 Additions Disposals Exchange differences Balance at 30 June 2020 Accumulated amortisation Balance at 1 July 2020 Charge for the year Disposals Exchange differences Balance at 30 June 2021 Balance at 1 July 2019 Charge for the year Exchange differences Balance at 30 June 2020 Net book value As at 30 June 2021 As at 30 June 2020 Brand name Capitalised development costs $'000 $'000 6,878 - - (552) 6,326 6,756 - - 122 6,878 - - - - - - - - - 6,326 6,878 48,791 5,384 (140) - 54,035 39,692 9,205 (109) 3 48,791 (35,582) (9,647) 2 - (45,227) (25,532) (10,041) (9) (35,582) 8,808 13,209 Goodwill $'000 51,489 - - (4,137) 47,352 50,501 - - 988 51,489 - - - - - - - - - 47,352 51,489 Total $'000 107,158 5,384 (140) (4,689) 107,713 96,949 9,205 (109) 1,113 107,158 (35,582) (9,647) 2 - (45,227) (25,532) (10,041) (9) (35,582) 62,486 71,576 No intangible assets have been impaired in the financial year ending 30 June 2021 (2020: nil). 96 14.

Employee benefit liabilities 17. Other liabilities Wages, salaries, annual and long service leave A provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year represent the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits expected to be settled more than twelve months after the end of the reporting period have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy service period requirements. Cash flows are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows. Employee benefits are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date regardless of the classification of the liability for measurement purposes under AASB 119 Employee Benefits. Changes in the measurement of the liability are recognised in the income statement. Defined contribution schemes Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the income statement in the periods in which services are provided by employees. Termination benefits and restructure costs Termination benefits are those benefits paid to an employee as a result of either the Group’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. Termination benefits and restructure costs are recorded as a provision when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits.

The future undiscounted lease payments for the lease contract are $0.9m (2020: $nil) within one year and $5.4m (2020: $nil) within five years. At 30 June 2021, the parent entity had capital commitments of $3.4m (2020: $nil) relating to fit-out works for its new Melbourne office. These commitments have not been recognised as liabilities as the relevant asset has not yet been received. The Group will also receive a $2.3m lease incentive for the fit-out works. (c) Guarantees entered into by the parent entity During the year the parent entity obtained a bank guarantee as security amounting to $0.9m (2020: $nil) in respect of a lease agreement signed for its new Melbourne office. No liability is expected to arise. Although the Group is strictly a service provider that does not sell or manufacture the products sold on the Redbubble and TeePublic marketplaces, it periodically receives notices alleging infringement of third party copyright, trade marks, other intellectual property rights or publicity rights via the marketplaces or for breach of consumer protection laws. This is not uncommon for marketplaces that host user generated content. As at the date of these financial statements there are current lawsuits filed against the Company that relate to alleged intellectual property infringement and / or breach of consumer laws. There is no certainty around the amount or timing of any outflow (or inflow from insurance recoveries) should any of the actions ultimately be successful (at first instance or on appeal, as applicable). The Company does not consider that any of the current actions are likely to have a material adverse effect on the business or financial position of the Company. 21.

Share-based payments 2014 Option Plan Options to employees / contractors of the US subsidiaries are granted under this plan. The vesting conditions and expiry period under this plan are akin to the Redbubble Equity Incentive Plan. Limited recourse loans for the purchase of shares The granting of limited recourse loans to purchase Redbubble shares is considered to be an in-substance option grant in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payment. An option pricing model is used to determine the fair value of the in-substance option and expensed in the financial statements over the service period. During the year a limited recourse loan has been provided to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO does not have a beneficial interest in the shares until the loan is repaid. The repayment of the loan principal plus accrued interest represents the exercise of the option, and returning the shares as settlement of the loan is the expiry of an unexercised option. Further details on the loan are provided in Note 23(b). Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) Restricted Stock Units are granted under the Restricted Share and Performance Rights Plan to certain employees including senior executives and consultants. Once granted, the rights have a predetermined time-based vesting schedule. All the restricted stock units are subject to service conditions. Share Appreciation Rights (SARs) Share appreciation rights have been granted to the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive team. Refer to the Remuneration Report for further details. The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of options with a strike price and share appreciation rights are ascertained using industry standard valuation models. A Black-Scholes pricing model is used for options and the Monte Carlo simulation model is used for share appreciation rights. The amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options or shares granted. This expense takes into account any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but ignores the effect of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account when considering the number of options expected to vest and at the end of each reporting period, the Group revisits its estimate. Revisions to the prior period estimate are recognised in the income statement and equity. The fair value of zero priced options and restricted stock units is equal to the fair market value of a Redbubble Ltd share at the grant date. Critical accounting estimates and judgements Some of the inputs to the pricing models require application of significant judgement. The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo simulation pricing models require inputs for the expected share price volatility of Redbubble Limited shares for a period similar to the expected life of the options. The Group has used its historical share price volatility to estimate expected future volatility. Options over ordinary shares Redbubble Equity Incentive Plan for Australian and German employees The “Redbubble Equity Incentive Plan” has been established to grant options over ordinary shares to Redbubble Limited employees (including senior executives under the RB Group Executive Compensation Model (RECM)) and contractors. In FY21, board members are no longer granted equity. Board fees are now paid entirely in cash. The options are subject to service conditions and have a predetermined time-based vesting schedule. The grantees of options under this Plan may exercise vested options at any time before the earlier of: (a) a specified expiry date (generally 10 years from the grant date); and (b) 90 days after ceasing to be a Director, employee or contractor for the Group. Some of the options have a zero exercise price, so as to be akin to performance rights or restricted stock units. 106 107 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 (a) Movement (b) Modifications to the awards The table below summarises the movement in the number of options, restricted stock units and share appreciation rights during the year: The table below details modifications to a number of options / restricted stock units (RSUs) during the year. 2021 2021 Number WAEP ($) (1) 2020 Number 2020 WAEP ($) (1) 2021 2020 Number Number Options over ordinary shares Outstanding at 1 July Granted during the year (2) Exercised during the year Forfeited during the year Expired during the year Outstanding at 30 June Exercisable at 30 June Restricted stock units Outstanding at 1 July Granted during the year Settled during the year Forfeited during the year Outstanding at 30 June Share appreciation rights (SARs) (3) Outstanding at 1 July Granted during the year Exercised during the year Forfeited during the year Outstanding at 30 June Exercisable at 30 June 18,510,058 867,545 (10,405,267) (2,188,371) (11,969) 6,771,996 3,401,054 2,200,400 942,592 (1,344,372) (333,567) 1,465,053 7,276,161 985,378 (2,215,514) (1,522,327) 4,523,698 1,983,114 0.85 - 0.80 0.64 0.93 0.90 0.87 - - - - - - - - - - - 23,376,683 2,921,778 (4,521,415) (2,788,674) (478,314) 18,510,058 9,510,335 727,766 2,110,590 (465,844) (172,112) 2,200,400 5,666,668 6,029,146 - (4,419,653) 7,276,161 - 0.76 0.04 0.77 0.83 1.28 0.85 0.81 - - - - - - - - - - - Accelerated vesting of unvested options / RSUs over ordinary shares upon termination 459,214 154,082 Total 459,214 154,082 (c) Additional disclosures Weighted average fair value of Share at the date of exercise of options / settlement of restricted stock units during the year Share options granted during the year Share appreciation rights granted during the year Restricted stock units granted during the year Weighted average remaining contractual life of Share options outstanding at the end of the year Inputs to pricing models for options and SARs granted during the year (weighted average) Expected volatility (%) (1) Risk-free interest rate (%) Expected life (years) Expected dividend yield (%) Fair market value of share ($) (2) 2021 $ 4.23 4.27 2.21 4.34 2020 $ 1.63 0.45 0.42 1.58 2021 2020 (years) (years) 7.07 7.29 2021 69.94 0.67 4.72 - 4.32 2020 68.41 0.41 4.29 - 1.42 (1) WAEP stands for Weighted Average Exercise Price.

Mr Ilczynski used the loan amount plus $400,000 of his own funds to purchase Redbubble Limited shares on-market in the trading window that followed release of Redbubble’s half-year 2021 results and Appendix 4D. This transaction was completed on 4 March 2021, with an average share price of $5.53. The loan amount plus interest equal to the RBA cash rate plus 3% (compounding annually) is to be repaid 5 years from date of loan, or on cessation of employment if earlier. The purchased shares are subject to dealing restrictions, including a prohibition on granting security interests, which fall away upon the loan being repaid in full. The security for the loan is limited to the shares acquired with the loan amount. The loan is recognised as an option grant under AASB 2 Share Based Payment and as a result this loan is not recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Events occurring after the balance sheet date The financial report was authorised for issue on 19 August 2021 by the Board of Directors. Other than the above, there have been no further significant events after the balance sheet date that require disclosure. 110 111 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 27. Other significant accounting policies (a) Principles of consolidation Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. Control is established when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Group gains control. They would be deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in note 19 to the financial statements. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been aligned where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. (b) Business combinations and goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in operations and administration expenses. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of AASB 9 Financial Instruments, is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss in accordance with AASB 9. Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill has been allocated to a single cash-generating unit (CGU) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. (c) Foreign currency transactions Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group’s entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. At the end of the reporting period: ● Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing exchange rate; ● Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and ● Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rate at the date when fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at exchange rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition or in prior reporting periods are recognised through the statement of comprehensive income, except where they relate to an item of other comprehensive income. 112 113 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Group companies The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) as follows: ● Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet; ● Income and expenses for each income statement and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates; and ● All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. (d) Other income Finance income an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of income net of any reimbursement. (h) Sales Tax (includes Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT)) Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax, except where the amount incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) or other similar international bodies. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of sales tax, where applicable. The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO or other similar international bodies, is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. The statement of cash flows includes cash on a gross basis and the sales tax component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows. Finance income is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest method. (i) Leases (e) Financial assets Trade and other receivables and other financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, loans and trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Any change in their value is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. The Group applies a simplified approach in calculating Expected Credit Losses (ECLs) in trade receivables. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, where appropriate, based on historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the receivables and the economic environment. (f) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the Group that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability. (g) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under Set out below are the accounting policies of the Group upon adoption of AASB 16, which have been applied from the date of initial application: Group as a lessee 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 commencement date of the lease less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the 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 lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. Lease liabilities The Group recognises lease liabilities at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use), 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, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. 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. 114 115 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Significant judgement in estimating the incremental borrowing rate Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Significant judgement in 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. The Group has the option under some of its leases to extend the term of the original 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 the Group to exercise the renewal option. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term when 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. The Group has determined that no lease extension options will be exercised as they are not reasonably certain that those options will be exercised and therefore, the extended periods have not been included in calculations. (j) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective A number of new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations, have also been issued and will be applicable in future periods. While these remain subject to ongoing assessment, no significant impacts on the financial statements of the Group have been identified to date. These standards have not been applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The rate is determined using a government bond (risk free) rate adjusted for a risk premium commensurate with each lessee’s profile. The bond rates used are for a bond with a term and security similar to each lease and are country specific. After the commencement date, the amount of the lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The carrying amount of lease liabilities are adjusted if there is a modification, a change in the lease terms or a change in the in- substance fixed lease payments. Group as a lessor (subleases) In classifying a sublease, an intermediate lessor shall classify the sublease as a finance lease or an operating lease as follows: ● if the head lease is a short-term lease, the Group will classify the sublease as an operating lease. ● otherwise, the sublease will be classified by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, rather than by reference to the underlying asset. Sublease classified as finance lease The Group recognises net investment in sublease at the commencement date of the sublease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is subleased) due to the term of the sublease constituting a major part of the economic life of the right-of-use asset relating to the head lease. The net investment in the sublease is measured using the discount rate for the head lease. The Group derecognises the right-of-use asset relating to the head lease that it transfers to the sublessee and replaces it with a net investment in the sublease. Any difference between the right-of-use asset and the net investment in the sublease is recognised in profit or loss. The lease liability relating to the head lease is retained and represents the lease payments owed to the head lessor. During the term of the sublease, the Group recognises both interest income on the sublease and interest expense on the head lease. Sublease classified as operating lease Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of comprehensive income due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned. 116 117 RedbubbleAnnual Report 2021 Directors’ Declaration In accordance with a resolution of the Directors of Redbubble Limited, we state that in the Directors’ opinion: Report on the Audit of the Financial Report Report on the Audit of the Financial Report Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Redbubble Limited Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Redbubble Limited Ernst & Young Ernst & Young 8 Exhibition Street 8 Exhibition Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia GPO Box 67 Melbourne VIC 3001 GPO Box 67 Melbourne VIC 3001 Tel: +61 3 9288 8000 Tel: +61 3 9288 8000 Fax: +61 3 8650 7777 Fax: +61 3 8650 7777 ey.com/au ey.com/au (a) the financial statements and notes, as set out on pages 71 to 117 are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: (i) complying with Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional reporting requirements; and (ii) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its performance for the financial year ended on that date; and (b) there are reasonable grounds to believe that Redbubble Limited will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

The carrying value of capitalised development in the consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2021 was $8.8m. The accounting for capitalised development involves judgment, including considering technical and commercial feasibility, the Group’s intention and ability to complete the intangible asset, future economic benefits to be generated by the asset, the ability of the Group to measure the costs reliably, and determining the useful lives for capitalised a) development costs. In addition, determining whether there is any indication of impairment of the carrying value of assets requires judgment in making b) assumptions which are affected by future market or economic developments. This was considered a key audit matter given the judgement required in accounting for it, the value of development cost assets relative to total assets, the rapid technological and economic change in the industry, and the specific Australian Accounting Standards criteria that have to be met to enable costs incurred to be capitalised. Revenue recognition Why significant As disclosed in Note 3 to the financial report, revenue is recognised when the goods are transferred to the customer, which is deemed to be when the product is delivered. Due to the volume of online transactions processed on a daily basis, and the arrangement in place with fulfillers whereby fulfillers dispatch goods directly to the Group’s customers, the judgement involved in the timing of when revenue is recognised is considered to be a Key Audit Matter.
