ANd CEO’S 
REPORT

Dear Shareholder,

The Directors of Shaver Shop Group Limited (“Shaver Shop” 
or the “Company”) are pleased to present the Company’s 
annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017.

The 2017 financial year was a dynamic one for retailers  
in general, including Shaver Shop. There are widespread 
factors influencing the retail industry driven by digital 
disruption and social media, globalisation and changing 
consumer preferences. That said, our business is resilient 
and primarily driven by people’s desire to look and feel good. 
So we are pleased to advise that despite some headwinds  
in key categories in the first half of the financial year, our 
management team was agile and responsive to market 
opportunities that arose, and in doing so was able to achieve 
or exceed the financial targets outlined in our Prospectus for 
the 2017 financial year. This entrepreneurial spirit has been a 
hallmark of the Shaver Shop business over a number of years 
and we believe is one of the key reasons for its success.

executinG our StrateGy

Total sales increased 33.6% to $142.6 million and earnings 
before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation 
increased 18.0% to $14.9 million. Top line growth was 
driven by a combination strong same store sales growth 
of 6.2%, together with the addition of 15 stores into the 
corporate store network during the year. 

With access to product information now readily available 
over the internet, we are increasingly seeing a more 
educated consumer, that wants a seamless, value-driven 
and engaging shopping experience whether they come 
into one of our shops or decide to transact through our 
e-commerce websites. 

Whilst franchise royalties decreased by 11.4% resulting 
from the acquisition of franchise stores, over the last  
two years our costs of doing business decreased as a 
percentage of sales decreased by approximately 90 basis 
points to 33.8%. 

As a result, Shaver Shop’s consolidated pro forma profit 
after tax (NPAT) increased 20.7% to $9.1 million.

This strong bottom line performance was achieved whilst 
keeping low gearing levels. We ended the year with net 
debt of $9.4 million. It is this strong financial position and 
earnings performance that has led to Shaver Shop’s Board 
to recommend a final fully franked dividend of 2.4 cents 
per share bringing the total dividend payment to 4.0 cents 
per share for the 2017 financial year. As a result of strong 
cash generation within the business, Shaver Shop’s Board 
decided to change its dividend policy to be a payout of 
approximately 50% of cash NPAT. Cash NPAT takes into 
account the tax benefit Shaver Shop receives for the 
deduction of the consideration paid for franchise licence 
terminations resulting from its franchise buyback 
program. In 2017, this represented a cash tax benefit  
of approximately $1.6 million.

Consolidated  
pro forma net profit

$9.1m

Up 20.7%

Shaver Shop’s obsession with being the unequivocal 
experts in the products we sell, and delivering a highly 
tailored customer experience based on individual’s 
personal grooming and beauty needs is fundamentally 
differentiated in the market. We do this whilst being 
fiercely competitive on pricing. These are the hallmarks 
that have led to our business not having closed a store  
in over 30 years of trading.

Our obsession with the retail experience at Shaver Shop  
is the same whether our customers come into our store 
network or choose to shop online. It means that our front 
line staff and e-commerce touchpoints are critical to our 
brand proposition and explains why we have continued  
to make significant incremental investments in talent, 
systems and training capability in these key areas in the 
past year. We will also continue to do this in the future as  
it is a, if not the, critical pillar to our continued success. 

Last year, we also made significant investments in building 
brand awareness and recognition, so that we are equally 
seen as the go to destination for hair removal, hair styling 
and beauty products for him as well as for her. This is an 
important focus for our business, and changes to the look 
and feel of our website and marketing collateral were 
made to reinforce this. 

Our specialty retail focus in the personal grooming and 
beauty market segments is recognised by our supplier 
partners who continue to offer exclusive distribution rights 
to Shaver Shop in Australia and New Zealand for some of 
their newest and most innovative product launches. 
Shaver Shop’s recognition as a key player in female beauty 
appliances is no better exemplified by our partnership with 
the Scholl and Veet brands in 2017 as well as with Dyson 
and the sale of its Supersonic hair dryer in the coming 
financial year. This is a major win for our business and  
one we expect will perform well leading into our critical 
Christmas trading period.

In addition to the investments in talent, capability and our 
brand, we also continued our strategy to expand our store 
footprint across Australia and New Zealand with the 
additional of eight stores during the year. This was slightly 
less than our target of 10 to 15 new stores, but we will 
continue to remain true to our return on capital principles 
and in doing so, evaluate each opportunity on its own 
merits using the latest data available to us.

ChAiRmAN’S ANd CEO’S REPORT

Shaver Shop has a long track record of adapting and 
delivering growth, driven by its differentiated business 
model and the entrepreneurial spirit within its team.  
This was no more evident in 2017. 

Looking forward to 2018, Shaver Shop will continue to 
invest in new systems and technologies that help us better 
understand our customers and their preferences, and in 
doing so drive an improved customer experience. We  
will also look to invest in measures that will increase  
the efficiency and effectiveness of our team. This is 
fundamental to ensuring we remain differentiated, relevant, 
competitively priced and valued by our customers. 

Shaver Shop’s financial position remains robust, which 
means we are well positioned to continue our disciplined 
expansion of the store network in Australia and New 
Zealand and consider franchise buyback opportunities 
where the financial return is within acceptable tolerances.  
It also means we can begin trialling alternative store formats, 
product categories and concepts that complement and 
enhance the tried and true Shaver Shop business model.

We remain at an exciting stage in Shaver Shop’s evolution 
with clear visibility to further growth in Australia and New 
Zealand as well as opportunities to take the Company’s 
differentiated approach to international markets over time. 
As a result, your Directors believe Shaver Shop is well 
positioned to continue growing shareholder value. 

We thank all team members for their commitment and 
contribution during the year and we are grateful to our 
shareholders for your continued support. 

Brodie arnhold 
Chairman

cameron Fox 
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director

We also acquired seven franchise stores during the year 
bringing the corporate store network to 95 stores at 
30 June 2017 with 13 franchise operated outlets. Whilst 
Shaver Shop’s plans are to acquire all franchise outlets at 
some point in the future, we will apply the same, prudent 
discipline going forward ensuring that these investments 
will deliver appropriate returns for shareholders. 

Finally, we are pleased to advise that same store sales 
growth for the corporate store network was 6.2% for the 
2017 financial year. This performance was primarily driven 
by Shaver Shop’s access to a new, multi-unit reseller 
channel that first emerged in the third quarter across a 
limited range of products. Thanks to our corporate and 
franchise store managers’ entrepreneurship and customer 
focus, we were able to quickly realise some significant 
sales through this channel and deliver strong growth for 
the business. Shaver Shop’s Board and Management team 
are still learning about this channel and recognise that it  
is unpredictable and may be volatile in nature. So we will 
continue to focus on our base retail business in Australia 
and New Zealand while at the same time working hard to 
develop the multi-unit reseller channel into a sustainable 
business. Preliminary signs are encouraging in this regard.

our team

Shaver Shop’s performance is directly linked to the 
passion and talent of its team. On behalf of our Directors 
and the senior executive team, we would like to thank  
all our 550 team members for their contribution to the 
growth and development of the business. 

We recognise that our people remain the key factor that 
underpins our success, both now and in the future, and  
we are fortunate to have such a capable and motivated 
team at Shaver Shop. That said, as our business continues 
to mature and evolve, we will continue develop our team 
and add further senior talent to strengthen its competitive 
position. A good example of this is the addition of a  
new retail director as well as the appointment of a  
national training manager late in the year.

outLook and Future Growth 

The retail environment over the last 12 months was  
one of the most challenging and dynamic the business 
has experienced in its 30 year history. That said, we  
expect that the pace of change and the dynamic, highly 
competitive and increasingly global nature of the retail 
landscape will only continue. As a result, only those 
businesses that can be nimble, adapt and accept  
these new realities will succeed.

dividENdS PAid OR RECOmmENdEd

The Directors declared Shaver Shop’s maiden interim dividend of 1.6 cents per share fully franked ($2.001 million)  
in February 2017 (2016: Nil). The Directors have declared a fully franked final dividend of 2.4 cents per share  
($3.002 million) to be paid in October 2017. The combined dividend payments represent the payout of approximately 
56% of the Company’s FY2017 reported net profit after tax.

2017 OPERATiNG ANd FiNANCiAL REviEW

The statutory profit after income tax amounted to $8,993,956 (FY2016: $3,854,027) after subtracting income tax 
expense of $4,061,112 (FY2016: $1,627,859). The increase in profit after income tax was due to improvements in 
business performance in FY2017 as well as due to costs associated with the Company’s initial public offering being 
included in FY2016. This is more fully explained in the pro forma results summary that follows.

non‑iFrS meaSureS

The Directors’ Report includes references to pro-forma results. The pro forma adjustments primarily relate to the 2016 
Financial Year (FY2016) and when Shaver Shop went through the Initial Public Offering process. The pro-forma results 
have been derived from Shaver Shop’s statutory accounts and adjusted on a pro forma basis to more appropriately 
reflect the ongoing operations of Shaver Shop as a listed public company. Shaver Shop’s historical debt structure 
has not been pro forma adjusted as it is closely related to the effects of the franchise store buy back activity. This is 
consistent with the presentation as disclosed in the Company’s prospectus dated 7 June 2016. The Directors believe the 
presentation of non‑IFRS financial measures are useful for the users of this financial report as they provide additional 
and relevant information that reflect the underlying financial performance of the business and can be directly compared 
to the forecasts given in the prospectus. Non‑IFRS financial measures contained within this report are not subject to 
audit or review.

The Statutory Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) of the Group for FY2017 was 
$14.9 million (FY2016: $7.5 million).

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) is used as a measure of financial performance by excluding certain variables 
that affect operating profits but which may not be directly related to the underlying performance of the Group. EBITDA is not a measure of operating 
income, operating performance or liquidity under AIFRS. Other companies may calculate EBITDA in a different manner to Shaver Shop. The above 
EBITDA reconciliation has not been audited.

At the end of FY2016, through the IPO of the business on the ASX, the Group restructured its balance sheet by issuing 
new shares and using the proceeds to repay debt and pay a pre‑IPO dividend. As a result of the listing process, the 
Group incurred significant one‑off transaction costs.

The table below reconciles the EBITDA result to the pro forma result for FY2016. This shows the full year 2016 results

In FY2017, the Company grew pro forma EBITDA by $2.3 million (or 18.0%) to $14.9 million. 

The increase in EBITDA was due to strong consolidated sales growth, up 33.6% to $142.6 million driven by: strong  
like for like store sales growth (+6.2%) supported by access to a new multi-unit reseller channel; the continuation of 
Shaver Shop’s franchise buyback program (seven franchise stores acquired in FY2017); as well as the launch of eight 
new greenfield stores during the year. At 30 June 2017, Shaver Shop’s store network consisted of 95 corporate‑owned 
stores and 13 franchisees (108 stores in total) with 102 outlets in Australia and 6 in New Zealand. 

In the third quarter of FY2017, a new sales channel to Australian-based customers who purchase in higher quantities  
for resale emerged which facilitated sales of certain product lines in high volume and lower average gross margins 
through its corporate and franchise store network. Whilst this channel was a material contributor to revenue growth and 
earnings in FY2017, it is new to Shaver Shop and is dynamic in nature. Accordingly, Shaver Shop remains cautious about 
its ability to forecast the timing and quantum of revenue and earnings contribution from this channel in the future.

Shaver Shop also experienced growth in online revenues following the launch of a new e-commerce platform in 
February 2017 that is mobile phone and tablet friendly. Since launch, online sales have experienced double digit growth. 
Further improvements to, and investments in the website are expected to be made in FY2018.

Consistent with Shaver Shop’s sales growth, gross profit increased 30.4% to $59.5 million in FY2017 (FY2016 – $45.6 million). 
Gross profit margins declined 110 basis points to 41.7% (FY2016 – 42.8%) due primarily to a change in product mix and 
sales through the bulk channel which generally generate a lower average gross margin.

In FY2017, Shaver Shop continued its strategy to buy back franchises over time and roll out new store locations. 
Following the successful execution of these plans, Shaver Shop’s EBITDA margins naturally declined in FY17 to 10.4% 
(FY16 – 11.8%). Shaver Shop generates advertising contributions and royalties from franchise stores at a rate of 4.4%  
of franchise sales, respectively (total 8.8%). As franchise buybacks occur, Shaver Shop no longer recognises the 
royalties only, but consolidates the full revenue and costs of operating the store leading to increased EBITDA in dollar 
terms but a lower EBITDA margin percentage.

 diRECTORS’  REPORT 

Pro forma NPAT increased 20.7% to $9.1 million leading to fully diluted earnings per share of 7.2 cents (FY2016 – 6.0 cents). 
Shaver Shop had a pro forma income tax rate of 30.4% of earnings before tax in FY2017. Shaver Shop receives a tax 
deduction over five years for the cost of franchise right terminations that occur through its franchise buyback program. 
This leads to income tax payable being lower than income tax expense for the five year tax period following each 
buyback. The reduction in cash tax payable for FY2017 associated with the franchise buybacks undertaken since 
FY2012, amounts to $1,564,500 (FY2016: $1,130,700).

capitaL manaGement

In August 2016, Shaver Shop established a new $23.0 million commercial advance debt facility with a $2.0 million 
facility to support bank guarantees.

At 30 June 2017, Shaver Shop had gross debt of $11.8 million up from $5.1 million at 30 June 2016. The increase in 
gross debt was primarily used to fund the franchise buybacks undertaken during the year. Net debt (gross debt less 
cash on hand) was $9.4 million at 30 June 2017 providing a leverage ratio (Net Debt/EBITDA) of 0.63X.

The Company’s debt facility has three key covenants: the leverage ratio; the interest coverage ratio (EBIT/Interest expense); 
and the net worth ratio ((Total assets – Total liabilities) / Total assets). All banking covenants were well within  
the bank’s thresholds for FY2017.

StrateGy

Shaver Shop offers customers a wide range of quality brands, at competitive prices, supported by excellent staff 
product knowledge and customer service. Shaver Shop seeks to identify consumer trends and works closely with major 
manufacturers and suppliers to source products to cater for these changing personal grooming and beauty trends.

DIFFERENTIATION IN THE MARKET

With more than 30 years of dedicated experience in its core hair removal product categories, Shaver Shop believes it is 
the only significant pure‑play retailer in these categories in Australia and New Zealand. Shaver Shop invests heavily in 
staff training to ensure that its store managers and customer facing staff are equipped to recommend the best product 
that meets customer needs. This strong expertise, segment focus and customer experience has enabled Shaver Shop 
to negotiate exclusive supply arrangements for the majority of its top 50 products by sales. Shaver Shop believes it is 
this unique customer experience and access to exclusive products at competitive prices that differentiates its business 
from other retailers that sell personal grooming products in the market.

Key drivers of Shaver Shop’s growth are expected to be:

Continued product innovation
Shaver Shop benefits as consumer trends evolve and require new and changing products to facilitate this. Shaver Shop seeks 
to work with manufacturers and suppliers to source products that cater to the emerging demands of consumers within the hair 
removal and personal care categories. In some cases, Shaver Shop seeks and obtains exclusive rights to sell personal grooming 
and beauty products in the Australian and New Zealand markets which assists with product and range differentiation.

Organic growth
Shaver Shop will continue to implement a strategic marketing plan and other initiatives to attract new customers to 
the business and encourage repeat business. Important components of this aspect of the Company’s strategy include 
continued investment in the e-commerce websites and eBay digital store which continue to grow strongly as well as 
establishing a loyalty program to attract and support returning customers.

Store rollout
Shaver Shop aims to grow total store network numbers across Australia and New Zealand to approximately 145 within 
the next three years. This will be achieved through Greenfield store rollouts. Subject to the forecast financial returns 
meeting appropriate hurdle rates, the Company expects to open these additional stores. In FY2017, Shaver Shop  
opened 8 new stores and has identified 7 additional stores it intends to open in the first six months of FY18.

Franchise store buy backs
Shaver Shop also plans to continue its disciplined approach to buying back franchise stores, with transactions to be assessed 
as they become available. As at 30 June 2017, there were 13 franchise stores (30 June 2016 – 20) within the Shaver Shop 
network. Shaver Shop has entered into an agreement to acquire one additional franchise store in Victoria (The Glen) in FY18.

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2017 annuaL report

key BuSineSS riSkS

There are a number of factors that could have an effect on the financial performance of Shaver Shop Group Limited. 
They include:

Competition may increase
Shaver Shop faces competition from specialty retailers, department stores, discount department stores, grocery chains 
as well as online only retailers and professional salons. Shaver Shop’s competitive position may deteriorate as a result of 
actions by existing competitors, the entry of new competitors (including manufacturers and suppliers of products who 
decide to sell direct to end consumers) or a failure by Shaver Shop to successfully respond to changes in the market.

Retail environment and general economic conditions may deteriorate
Shaver Shop’s performance is sensitive to the current state of and future changes in the retail environment and general 
economic conditions in Australia. Australian economic conditions may worsen including as a result of Australia’s 
economy entering into a recession or another cause of a reduction in consumer spending. This could cause the retail 
environment to deteriorate as consumers reduce their level of consumption of discretionary items.

Changes in international pricing or supply may change local demand for Shaver Shop products
Many of the products which Shaver Shop sells are available in many overseas markets. With the increasing propensity 
for consumers in Australia and overseas to purchase products over the internet, should the comparative price of Shaver 
Shop’s products be significantly lower than Shaver Shop in overseas markets, this could have an influence on local 
demand for Shaver Shop’s products. Conversely, if the price for Shaver Shop’s products is significantly lower than the 
comparable price for the same product overseas, this could increase demand and sales of Shaver Shop products. 
Should suppliers increase (decrease) prices to create global wholesale price parity, this could materially decrease 
(increase) local demand for Shaver Shop’s products. This is particularly true in relation to bulk sales of products to 
customers in the multi‑unit reseller channel in Australia.

Seasonality of trading patterns
Shaver Shop’s sales are subject to seasonal patterns. In FY15 to FY17, the contribution of sales for the first half of each 
FY to total sales for the full FY was within the range of 53.3% to 58.3%. The seasonality of Shaver Shop’s sales towards 
the first half of the FY is largely due to the pre‑Christmas trading period and Father’s Day (being, the first Sunday in 
September). An unexpected decrease in sales over traditionally high-volume trading periods for Shaver Shop could  
have a material adverse effect on the overall profitability and financial performance of Shaver Shop.

In addition, an unexpected decrease in sales over traditionally high volume trading periods could also result in 
abnormally large amounts of surplus inventory, which Shaver Shop may seek to sell through abnormally high and 
broad-based price discounting to minimise the risk of product becoming aged or obsolete. If Shaver Shop were to sell 
a significant volume of its products at deep discounts, this would reduce the business’ revenue and would have an 
adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance.

Customer buying habits/trends may change
Any adverse change in personal grooming trends and a failure of Shaver Shop to correctly judge the change in 
consumer preferences or poor quantification of purchase orders for related product may have an adverse impact  
in the demand for Shaver Shop’s products or the gross margins achieved on these products.

Product innovation and exclusivity arrangements
Product innovation by suppliers has been a key driver in Shaver Shop’s sales growth. Shaver Shop relies on its suppliers 
to continue to drive R&D and product innovation in the product category. A material reduction in the frequency or appeal 
of new product innovations by suppliers may have an adverse impact on sales, performance rebates received and 
gross margin levels achieved. In addition, a key driver in Shaver Shop’s sales growth has been the ability to secure new 
innovative products on an exclusive basis. If Shaver Shop is unable to secure new product innovations on an exclusive 
basis, or if the appeal of an existing product sold by Shaver Shop on an exclusive basis is weakened by a new innovative 
product made widely available to retailers or on an exclusive basis to one of Shaver Shop’s competitors, Shaver Shop’s 
sales and gross margin levels may be adversely affected.

15

 diRECTORS’  REPORT 

Product sourcing may be disrupted
Shaver Shop’s products are sourced from third party suppliers of major hair removal, hair care, personal care and other 
shaving brands. In FY2017, approximately 89% of Shaver Shop’s total network sales came from products sourced from its 
top 10 suppliers. Shaver Shop’s largest supplier constitutes approximately 24% of all supply purchases, with the next two 
largest suppliers contributing approximately 17% and 15% of total supply purchases. While Shaver Shop has a diversified 
supplier base, Shaver Shop is exposed to potential increases in the cost of materials and the cost of manufacturing  
and foreign exchange rates applicable to its products. There may also be delays in delivery or failure by a supplier to 
deliver goods. Such increases, delays and failure could significantly increase Shaver Shop’s cost of operations, or lead  
to a reduction in the available range of products, which may affect Shaver Shop’s operating and financial performance.

Supplier relationships and ability to source products exclusively
The Company’s relationships with suppliers are often governed by individual purchase orders and invoices. Under those 
arrangements, suppliers may seek to alter the terms on which products are supplied as well as the range of products 
available for supply. This may result in changes of pricing levels and a reduction in the range of products made available to 
Shaver Shop, both of which could adversely impact the Company’s ability to successfully provide customers with a wide 
range of products at competitive prices. This could reduce Shaver Shop’s overall profitability and adversely impact its 
financial performance. In addition, Shaver Shop receives income from suppliers in the form of volume rebates and supplier 
contributions to specific marketing and advertising campaigns. Supplier rebates and contributions are negotiated on 
a periodic basis. There are no fixed contracts in place with suppliers relating to rebates and contribution income. Any supplier 
who provides Shaver Shop with rebates or marketing contributions may elect to cease such payments at any point in time.

Any such action could adversely impact Shaver Shop’s income which would reduce Shaver Shop’s overall profitability 
and impact its financial performance. Finally, through good relationships with some suppliers, Shaver Shop has been 
able to secure arrangements with third party distributors and brands for the supply of products to Shaver Shop on an 
exclusive basis. These arrangements are for specific products and for varying time periods. There is a risk that Shaver 
Shop may not be able to renew exclusive distribution agreements with the suppliers or that suppliers may enter into 
exclusive distribution arrangements with Shaver Shop’s competitors. If this occurs, it will have a material adverse 
impact on the Company’s business and reputation, operational performance as well as its financial results.

SiGNiFiCANT ChANGES iN STATE OF AFFAiRS

Except as otherwise described in this report, there have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of entities  
in the Group during the year.

mATTERS OR CiRCUmSTANCES ARiSiNG AFTER ThE ENd OF ThE YEAR

Subsequent to year end, the Directors declared a fully franked final dividend of 2.4 cents per share to shareholders of 
record on 10 October 2017. The dividend payment date is 24 October 2017. 

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or could 
significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in 
future financial years.

FUTURE dEvELOPmENTS ANd OUTLOOk

As noted in the Strategy section of this Directors Report, Shaver Shop intends to grow revenue and EBITDA over the long 
term through organic growth both online and in-store, incremental contributions from new store openings, as well as 
continuing its disciplined approach to undertaking franchise buybacks.

In regards to FY2018, Shaver Shop has experienced a solid start to the year recording like for like sales growth of 
approximately 15% over the first seven weeks. This growth rate is expected to moderate in the coming months due to 
supply interruptions for key products sold through the multi-unit reseller channel. Shaver Shop has continued to execute 
its corporate store expansion plans by identifying and committing to seven new store locations and one franchise 
buyback. Consistent with prior years, Shaver Shop’s FY2018 performance is expected to be seasonal, relying heavily on 
Christmas and Boxing Day trade. The new multi-unit reseller channel may assist in reducing this seasonality, however, 
this channel is new to Shaver Shop very dynamic and therefore difficult to forecast with certainty.

remuneration overview

The Board recognises that the performance of the Group depends to a large extend on the quality and motivation of 
the Shaver Shop team, including the Senior Executives and our 555 team members (2016: 448) employed by the Group 
across Australia and New Zealand. Shaver Shop’s remuneration strategy therefore seeks to appropriately attract, reward 
and retain team members at all levels in the organisation but in particular aligning and motivating key senior executives 
to create shareholder wealth. By aligning various remuneration mechanisms, the Board seeks to have a structure that 
incentivises sustainable growth, risk management as well as driving a positive culture across the business.

As outlined in the Company’s prospectus, for FY2017 the Board implemented new short and long term incentive 
mechanisms that are more consistent with a publicly listed entity. The FY2017 Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) adopted 
by the Company is based on achieving pre-determined performance conditions. The primary measure for award of the 
FY2017 STI is the normalised EBITDA of the business.

In terms of its Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), consistent with the terms outlined in the Company’s prospectus, on 
22 June 2017 Shaver Shop issued 1,300,000 shares to certain executives within the business. The shares are subject 
to various vesting conditions which are outlined in further detail below. The Company also offered an offsetting limited 
recourse loan to assist with the purchase of the LTIP shares.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee will continue to review the remuneration arrangements for Non-Executive 
Directors and Senior Executives to ensure that they are relevant, competitive and appropriate for a listed company.

remuneration oBjectiveS

One of Shaver Shop’s core beliefs is that the success of the business is driven in large part by the skills, motivation and 
the performance of all of its team members – from Senior Executives to Store Managers to retail assistants on the shop 
floor. Creating an environment that fosters a high performance culture and aligns the team behind a common set of 
values and behaviours is core to the Company’s continuing success.

Shaver Shop’s commitment to driving high performance is evidenced by its investment in a national training facility 
at its new head office location. Shaver Shop believes that the knowledge and expertise of its sales staff is a critical 
differentiating factor for the business and an important factor in its success. As a result, the Company takes pride in 
promoting high performing staff through the business from the retail shop floor through to head office positions.

In addition to building the appropriate culture, Shaver Shop’s philosophy is to provide competitive remuneration 
arrangements that reward team members for the underlying performance of the Company as well as building 
shareholder value over the short and long term.

As such, remuneration for team members can include fixed pay, superannuation, short term incentives, long term 
incentives as well as support for training and education, relocation assistance, and dues and membership fees that are 
aligned with Shaver Shop’s needs and objectives. The components of total remuneration for a team member will vary 
depending on the role, his or her seniority, the team member’s experience as well as their performance. The Remuneration 
Committee also considers the importance of equity ownership for Senior Executives when setting remuneration packages.

Shaver Shop’s key principles underpinning its remuneration plans are set out below:

1.  Simplicity: We seek to ensure remuneration arrangements are simple, and can be easily understood by both the 

Senior Executives and other key stakeholders.

2.  Alignment: We seek to ensure material components of the Senior Executive’s remuneration arrangements (including 
their shareholding as appropriate) contribute to alignment of the interests of the Senior Executives with those of 
the shareholders.

3.  Best practice: We seek to ensure the material aspects of an employee’s remuneration arrangements are sustainable 

and could withstand tests of precedent and transparency within the organisation and market place.

4.  Competitive: We seek to ensure our Senior Executives are remunerated such that (when taken as a whole, and 

having regard to their particular circumstances, including any risks and opportunities) their individual remuneration 
arrangements are competitive with relevant comparable positions.

19

 diRECTORS’  REPORT 

5.  Risk Conscious: In considering remuneration arrangements, the Company seeks to manage certain key risk 

exposures, including the risk of loss of an individual, retention of intellectual property and skills, issues associated 
with replacement of the individuals, risk of poaching, and the presence and quality of our succession planning.

6.  Company First: The Company develops systems, policies, processes and team depth to manage its reliance on any 

given individual within its leadership team. This extends to remuneration, where we seek to ensure the remuneration 
architecture and individual arrangements are orderly and deliberately in line with our Core Competencies.

7.  Rewards tied to outcome and performance: We back ourselves to identify the outcomes that drive sustainable value 
creation (or value protection), and seek to reward executives who influence those outcomes most significantly and 
directly pursuant to business strategy.

(e) 

roLe oF the nomination and remuneration committee

The primary objective of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board to fulfil its corporate 
governance and oversight responsibilities in relation to the Company’s people strategy including remuneration 
components, performance measurements and accountability frameworks, recruitment, engagement, retention,  
talent management and succession planning.

The Committee also works with the CEO in considering the specific situations pertaining to employment terms  
for individuals or groups of individuals as needed.

The Committee undertakes an annual review of the Company’s remuneration strategy and remuneration policy  
to facilitate understanding of the overall approach to remuneration and to confirm alignment with the Company’s  
business strategy, high standards of governance and compliance with regulatory standards.

The Committee reviews and recommends to the Board for approval, remuneration arrangements for the CEO and other 
Senior Executives having regard to external remuneration practices, market expectations and regulatory standards.  
The Committee also establishes the policy for the remuneration arrangements for Non‑Executive Directors.

Where appropriate the Nomination and Remuneration Committee will seek the advice of independent external 
remuneration consultants.

Fixed Remuneration
Senior Executive base salaries include a fixed component of base salary together with employer superannuation 
contributions that are in line with statutory obligations. The fixed remuneration component also includes car allowances 
and other benefits.

The fixed remuneration component for Senior Executives is based on market data for comparative companies of the 
same size and complexity as well as having regard to the experience and expertise of the Senior Executive.

20

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2017 annuaL report

Fixed remuneration for executives is reviewed annually to provide competitiveness with the market, whilst also taking 
into account capability, experience value to the organisation and performance of the individual. There is no guaranteed 
salary increase in any Senior Executive service contract.

Short Term Incentives (STI)
STIs for Senior Executives are based on the Company exceeding its budgeted normalised EBITDA target for the year. 
STIs are contracted with the Senior Executive and capped to a maximum amount relative to their Fixed Remuneration. 
STIs are funded from the outperformance of the Company at a normalised EBITDA level. The Board of Directors may 
decide to pay Senior Executives discretionary bonuses depending on individual and Company performance.

Long Term Incentives (LTI)
As outlined in the Company’s prospectus, Shaver Shop has established an LTIP to assist in the motivation, retention 
and reward of Shaver Shop executives. The LTIP is designed to align the interests of executives more closely with the 
interests of Shareholders by providing an opportunity for eligible executives to acquire Shares subject to the conditions 
of the LTIP (Plan Shares).

The Plan Shares are issued or transferred to participants in the LTIP at market value based on the volume weighted 
average price of the shares in the five days up to and including the date of grant. Under the terms of the LTIP, the 
Company, or one of its subsidiaries, may provide a limited recourse loan to executives who are invited to participate 
in the LTIP to assist them to purchase Plan Shares (Loan). Each Loan will be limited recourse such that a participant’s 
obligation to repay the Loan will be the lesser of the Loan balance or the relevant Plan Share’s market value. Under the 
LTIP rules, the Company will retain discretion to waive repayment of all, or part of, any Loan. The after-tax value of any 
dividends paid on the Plan Shares acquired under a Loan will be applied to repay the relevant Loan.

Each Plan Share will be issued as a fully paid ordinary share in the Company subject to certain vesting conditions. The 
holder of a Plan Share must not dispose of the Plan Share until the Plan Share vests and any Loan relating to that Plan 
Share has been repaid.

As noted in the Shaver Shop prospectus, the Company has offered certain members of Management the right to acquire 
up to 1,300,000 Plan Shares (representing approximately 1.0% of the Company’s issued share capital). The Plan Shares 
are divided into three equal tranches and will have vesting conditions based on a performance condition and a service 
condition. The three tranches apply to the following performance periods:

>  Tranche 1 – 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017

>  Tranche 2 – 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2018

>  Tranche 3 – 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2019.

The performance and service conditions specified for each tranche must be met in order for the relevant Plan Shares 
to vest.

The table below under “FY17 LTI Allocation” sets out the number of Plan Shares to be offered to the relevant Senior 
Executive, including details of the number of Plan Shares per tranche for each Senior Executive.

Performance condition
The performance conditions will be measured 70% by an absolute total shareholder return (TSR) performance 
hurdle and 30% by an earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdle. The hurdles will be mutually exclusive such that 
performance is measured independently of the other hurdle. Where both targets are met, 100% of the Plan Shares  
which a participant holds for the relevant performance period will vest, subject to the service condition being met. 
Where only a portion of the EPS and TSR targets are met, the total number of Shares which will vest under the LTIP  
will be apportioned.

Both of the performance hurdles will be expressed as a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) percentage.

The TSR performance hurdle will be structured as an absolute TSR growth target and will be determined by the Board. 
TSR is a measure of the performance of the Company’s shares over a period of time. It combines share appreciation 
and dividends paid to show the total return to Shareholders expressed as an annualised percentage. It is the rate of 
return of all cash flows to an investor during the holding period of an investment.

The EPS performance hurdle is a measure of the compound annual growth rate in the Company’s EPS measure over 
the relevant performance period. The EPS CAGR will be determined by the Board and is the compound annual growth 
rate (expressed as a percentage) of the Company’s EPS, which is measured by reference to the Group’s underlying net 
profit for the performance divided by the weighted average number of shares on issue across the relevant performance 
period. The Board may from time to time adjust the EPS CAGR to exclude the effects of material business acquisitions 
or divestments and for certain one‑off costs.

For the purposes of calculating the FY16 base year EPS from which the EPS growth rates will be calculated, the Board 
has agreed that EPS will be calculated using the total number of shares outstanding at 30 June 2016.

Service condition
In addition to the performance condition, each tranche of Plan Shares is subject to specific service conditions, meaning 
that if a participant in the LTIP ends their employment with Shaver Shop before the specified service periods the Plan

The Service conditions attaching to the three tranches of Plan Shares are as follows:

>  Tranche 1 – a participant must remain a Shaver Shop employee at all times up to (and including) 30 June 2019 

before performance qualified number of Plan Shares will vest.

>  Tranche 2 – a participant must remain a Shaver Shop employee at all times up to (and including) 30 June 2019 

before performance qualified number of Plan Shares will vest.

>  Tranche 3 – a participant must remain a Shaver Shop employee at all times up to (and including) 30 June 2020 

before performance qualified number of Plan Shares will vest.

non‑executive director remuneration

Under the Constitution, the Board may decide the remuneration from the Company to which each non-executive 
Director is entitled for their services as a Director. However, the total amount of fees paid to all Non‑Executive Directors 
for their services as Directors must not exceed in aggregate in any financial year the amount fixed by the Company in 
the annual general meeting. As disclosed in the Company’s prospectus, the pre-IPO Shareholders approved $440,000 
per annum for this purpose.

For FY17, the annual base non-executive Director fees currently agreed to be paid by the Company are $140,000 to the 
Chairman of the Board (Brodie Arnhold), $80,000 to each of Craig Mathieson (Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee) 
and Trent Peterson (Chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee), and $70,000 to each of Melanie Wilson and 
Brian Singer. These amounts comprise fees paid in cash. In subsequent years, these figures may vary.

Directors may also be reimbursed for travel and other expenses incurred in attending to the Company’s affairs. Directors 
may be paid additional or special remuneration where a Director performs services outside the ordinary duties of 
a Non‑executive Director.

BASiS OF PREPARATiON

The consolidated financial report covers Shaver Shop Group Limited and its controlled entities (‘the Group’). Shaver 
Shop Group Limited is a for‑profit Company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards  
and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

compLiance with iFrS

These financial statements and associated notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued  
by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Each of the entities within the Group prepare their financial statements based on the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented  
in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 24 August 2017.

Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated.

SUmmARY OF SiGNiFiCANT ACCOUNTiNG POLiCiES

(a) 

BaSiS For conSoLidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Shaver Shop Group 
Limited (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. 
Shaver Shop Group Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the Group or  
the consolidated entity.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an 
entity 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 activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated 
from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. 
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred 
asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies 
adopted by the Group.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 27 to the financial statements.

BuSineSS comBinationS

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether 
equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary 
comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the 
Group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent 
consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related 
costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in 
a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an 
acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or  
at the non‑controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree over the fair 
value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the 
net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference 
is recognised directly in profit or loss as a gain from a bargain purchase.

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2017 annuaL report

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted 
to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, 
being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms 
and conditions.

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability  
are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

(c) 

SeGment reportinG

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating 
decision maker. The Group operates within one reportable segment, being retail store sales of a variety of specialist 
personal grooming products through their corporate stores, and royalty income from franchise stores.

(d) 

ForeiGn currency tranSactionS and BaLanceS

Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the 
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are 
presented in Australian dollars, which is Shaver Shop Group Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the spot rate on the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and 
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit and loss. They are 
deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable 
to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

(e) 

revenue and other income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are 
presented net of returns, trade allowances, discounts, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future 
economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as 
described below. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer,  
the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Revenue is recognised for the major business activities using the methods outlined below:

Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant 
risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Interest income
Interest is recognised using the effective interest method, which, for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent  
in the instrument.

Franchise royalty fee income
Franchise royalty fee income includes advertising contributions, which is generally earned based upon a percentage  
of sales, is recognised on an accrual basis.

(F) 

income tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable  
to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the 
reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable 
income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable 
tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected 
to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax 
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities 
are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. However, deferred tax liabilities are recognised  
in respect of any adjustments to goodwill subsequent to initial recognition. On that basis, deferred tax liabilities have 
been recognised in the year in respect of additions to goodwill in respect of franchise buyback activities, to the extent 
that they are deductible in calculating current tax expense in the year. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for  
if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the 
time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred income tax is determined using 
tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected 
to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred 
tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future 
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount of tax 
bases of investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the 
temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and 
liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are 
offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise  
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive or directly  
in equity, respectively.

(G) 

GoodS and ServiceS tax (GSt)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or  
as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement  
of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(h) 

LeaSeS

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Company, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the 
leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net 
of finance charges, are included in other short‑term and long‑term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the 
liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant 

34

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2017 annuaL report

periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment 
acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and 
the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as  
lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received  
from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight‑line basis over the period of the lease.

(i) 

property, pLant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is 
directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains or losses  
on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item 
can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised 
when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they 
are incurred.

Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of 
their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant 
and equipment, the shorter of the lease term and the assets’ useful life as follows:

Fixed asset class
Plant and Equipment 
Computer Equipment 
Leasehold Improvements 

2‑12 years
1‑7 years
10 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. 
An asset’s carrying value is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying value is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying value. These are included in profit 
or loss.

(j) 

impairment oF aSSetS

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually 
for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other 
assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may 
not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds 
its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and 
value-in-use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are 
separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of 
assets (cash‑generating units). Non‑financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for 
possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. At the end of each reporting period the Group 
determines whether there is an evidence of an impairment indicator for non‑financial assets.

(k) 

intanGiBLe aSSetS

Goodwill
Goodwill is measured as described in note 2(b). Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible 
assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains  
and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those 
cash‑generating units or groups of cash‑generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination  
in which the goodwill arose, are identified according to operating segments.

SUmmARY OF SiGNiFiCANT ACCOUNTiNG POLiCiES continued

Brand names
Brand names have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated 
using the straight line method to allocate the cost of the brand names over their useful life of 20 years.

(L) 

caSh and caSh equivaLentS

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, 
deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short‑term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 
three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant 
risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the 
balance sheet.

(m) 

trade receivaBLeS

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They 
are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written 
off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision of impairment of trade receivables) is 
used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original 
terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or 
financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payment (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators 
that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s 
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. 
Cash flows relating to short‑term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which 
an impairment allowance has been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against 
the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses  
in profit or loss.

(n) 

inventorieS

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises cost of purchases and direct 
shipping costs to bring the inventories into their current location. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory 
on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and 
discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated  
costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(o) 

trade and other payaBLeS

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the 
financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition. Trade 
and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting 
date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method.

empLoyee BeneFitS

Short term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non‑monetary benefits, annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months 
after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of 
employee’s services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the 
liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short‑term 
employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. 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 wholly settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

Other long term employee benefit obligations
The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end 
of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee 
benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided 
by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to 
expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on high-quality corporate bond rates 
with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position if the entity does 
not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of 
when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

Share based payments
Share based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Share Plan and LTI Plan.

Share Plan
The fair value of shares granted under the Share Plan is recognised as an employee benefit expense with 
a corresponding increase in equity. The design of the Share Plan results in it being treated as an in substance option 
for the purposes of fair valuing share awards under the Share Based Payment accounting standards. The total expense 
is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specific vesting conditions are to be 
satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises estimates of the number of shares that are expected to vest based 
on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any,  
in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Information on the Share Plan
The establishment of the Shaver Shop Group Limited Employee Performance Share Plan (Share Plan) was approved by 
the shareholders in August 2014. The Share Plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for senior managers and 
above to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under the plan, participants are granted shares which only vest if an exit 
event occurs, except for Class A shares in which no vesting conditions exist. Shares granted under the plan are funded 
by an employee loan contract provided by the Company, the loan will be paid back upon vesting of the shares. The 
loan amount of the shares is based on market value of the Company shares at grant date. Class A shares are entitled 
to a discretionary dividend at the Board’s discretion. There are no voting rights of the shares granted. On vesting each 
special class of loan funded share is convertible into one ordinary share. All shares under the Share Plan converted to 
ordinary shares prior to the Company’s IPO on 1 July 2016. The Share Plan was replaced with the LTI Plan to provide 
long‑term incentives for senior management and above.

LTI Plan
The fair value of shares granted under the Shaver Shop Group Limited Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) is recognised as 
an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined 
by reference to the fair value of the options granted:

> 

Including any market performance conditions (for example the entity’s share price)

>  Excluding the impact for any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, sales growth 
targets, profitability and an employee remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period), and

> 

Including the impact of non-vesting conditions (for example the requirement for employees to hold shares for 
a specified period of time).

conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises estimates of the number of shares that are

original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

(q) 

BorrowinGS

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption 
amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid  
on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probably 
that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the 
extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised  
as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the 
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

(r) 

BorrowinG coStS

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

(S) 

proviSionS

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, 
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably 
estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is 
determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an 
outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the 
present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre‑tax 
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The 
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Provisions are recognised when 
the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of 
economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

(i)  

earninGS per Share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members of the Group, 
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.

(ii)  

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account 
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares 
(including performance rights) and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no 
consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Impact

AASB 9 addresses the 
classification, measurement and 
derecognition of financial assets 
and financial liabilities, introduces 
new rules for hedge accounting 
and a new impairment model 
for financial assets.

The AASB has issued a new 
standard for the recognition 
of revenue. The new standard 
is based on the principle that 
revenue is recognised when 
control of a good or service 
transfers to a customer.

AASB 16 will require lessees to 
recognise assets and liabilities 
for all leases with a term of 
more than 12 months, unless 
the underlying asset is of low 
value. A lessee will measure 
right-of-use assets similarly to 
other non‑financial assets and 
lease liabilities similarly to other 
financial liabilities.

The Group will undertake a more detailed 
assessment of the impact over the next 
twelve months.

The Group will undertake a more detailed 
assessment of the impact over the next 
twelve months.

The standard will affect primarily the 
accounting for the Group’s operating leases. 
As at the reporting date, the Group has 
operating lease commitments of $30.1 million. 
However, the Group has not yet determined to 
what extent these commitments will result in 
the recognition of an asset and a liability for 
future payments and how this will affect the 
Group’s profit and classification of cash flows. 
Some of the commitments may be covered 
by the exception for short-term and low-value 
leases and some commitments may relate to 
arrangements that will not qualify as leases 
under AASB 16.

Franchise Buy Backs
Shaver Shop has received a private ruling from the Australian Tax Office in respect of deductions for the amount relating 
to the termination of the franchise licence forming part of the purchase consideration paid for the buy back of franchise 
stores. The tax ruling confirms that this amount is to be deducted in equal portions over a five year period following the 
date of purchase.

For each franchise store, a portion of the purchase consideration equal to the total tax benefit to be received over five 
years is recognised as a deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset is then released over five years in accordance with 
the deduction schedule for each acquired franchise store with the effect of reducing income tax payable for each period.

Prior to 2015, the Company had assessed that the deduction was not probable. In 2015, a private ruling from the 
Australian Tax Office was obtained and the deductions were recognised through income tax benefit.

The Company acquired one franchise store on 5 July 2016, three franchise stores on 8 August 2016, one franchise on 
2 November 2016 and two franchises on 31 May 2017, for a total purchase consideration $8,069,165.

The acquisitions are expected to increase the Group’s retail sales and synergies are expected to arise after the 
Company’s acquisition of these stores.

The goodwill is attributable to the retail stores bought back, strong profitability in trading personal grooming products 
and synergies expected to arise after the Company’s acquisition of these stores. The goodwill is not expected to be 
deductible for tax purposes.

Revenue of the acquired franchise stores included in the consolidated revenue of the Group since the respective 
acquisition dates amounted to $7.2 million.

Had the results of the acquired franchise stores been consolidated from 1 July 2016, additional revenue of the Group 
would have been $6.6 million for the year ended 30 June 2017.

Acquisition related costs for the franchise buybacks were not material and are included in other expenses in the profit 
and loss statement.

OPERATiNG SEGmENTS

Segment information
The Group operates within one reportable segment, being retail sales of specialist personal grooming products through 
their corporate and online stores and royalty income from franchise stores. The chief operating decision maker for 
the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The retail stores and franchise royalty income has been aggregated into 
one reportable segment, as they have similar growth rates. Total revenue disclosed in the consolidated statement 
of comprehensive profit and loss all relates to this one reportable segment. The Group is not reliant on any single 
customer. At 30 June 2017, the Group operated 89 Corporate stores in Australia (2016: 74) and 6 Corporate Stores  
in New Zealand (2016: 6). Sales and profit derived from outside Australia are not material to disclose.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements – recoverable amount of inventory
Management has assessed the value of inventory that requires a provision due to the inventory being slow moving, 
using past experience and judgement on the likely sell through rates of various items of inventory. To the extent that 
these judgements and assumptions prove incorrect, the Group may be exposed to potential additional inventory  
write‑downs or write‑backs in future periods.

Impairment testing for goodwill
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is monitored as one operating segment.

Significant estimate: key assumptions used for value‑in‑use calculations
The Group performed its annual impairment testing as at 30 June 2017. The Group considers the relationship between 
its market capitalisation and its carrying value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. The 
recoverable amount of the relevant CGUs has been determined based on the value in use calculation using cash flow 
projections from budgets approved by senior management covering a five year period. Cash flows beyond the five year period 
are extrapolated using estimated growth rates of 3.0%. The pre tax discount rate applied to cash flow projected is 12.9%.

45

NOTES TO ThE FiNANCiAL STATEmENTS

13 

iNTANGiBLE ASSETS continued

The value in use calculation is most sensitive to the following key assumptions:

>  Gross margin

>  Growth rate

>  Discount rate

Gross margin: Gross margin is based on average values achieved in the past. Margins are not increased over the budget timeline.

Growth rate: Rates are based on management’s best estimates of anticipated growth in the short to medium term and 
are not significantly different to rates applied across the retail industry. The growth rate in the terminal year is 3%.

Discount rate: The discount rate is specific to the Group’s circumstances and is derived from its average weighted 
average cost of capital (WACC). The WACC takes into account the cost of both debt and equity. The cost of equity is 
determined by the expected return on investment by the Group’s shareholders. The cost of debt is based on the average 
cost of interest bearing debt that the Group is committed to service.

Sensitivity analysis: Management recognises that the future growth rates may differ from what has been estimated, however 
management have assessed there are no changes in estimates that are probable that would result in an impairment charge.

The provision for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave and long service leave. For long service leave it covers all 
unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees 
are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount of the provision is presented as current, since 
the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past 
experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the 
next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave that is not expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months.

The Group monitors capital through the gearing ratio, which is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt 
is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is defined as equity per the consolidated 
statement of financial position plus net debt.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

FiNANCiAL RiSk mANAGEmENT

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks through its use of financial instruments.

The Group‘s overall risk management plan seeks to minimise potential adverse effects due to the unpredictability 
of financial markets. The Group does not speculate in derivative financial instruments.

51

FiNANCiAL RiSk mANAGEmENT continued

The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed to are described below:

Risk

Liquidity risk

Credit risk

Exposure arising from

Borrowings, bank overdrafts and other liabilities

Cash at bank and trade receivables

Market risk – currency risk

Recognised assets and liabilities not denominated in Australian dollars

Market risk – interest rate risk

Borrowings at variable rates

oBjectiveS, poLicieS and proceSSeS

Risk management is carried out by the Group’s senior management and the Board of Directors. The Chief Financial 
Officer has primary responsibility for the development of relevant policies and procedures to mitigate the risk exposure 
of the Group, these policies and procedures are then approved by the risk management committee and tabled at the 
board meeting following their approval. Reports are presented to the Board regarding the implementation of these 
policies and any risk exposure which the Risk Management Committee believes the Board should be aware of.

Specific information regarding the mitigation of each financial risk to which the Group is exposed is provided below.

Liquidity riSk

Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital and the finance charges and principal repayments 
on its debt instruments. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they 
fall due.

The Group’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities as and when they 
fall due. The Group maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 30-day periods. Funding for long-term 
liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell 
long‑term financial assets.

The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term 
financial liabilities as well as cash‑outflows due in day‑to‑day business.

Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day‑to‑day and week‑to‑week basis, as well as on the basis  
of a rolling six‑week projection. Long‑term liquidity needs for an 180‑day and a 360‑day period are identified monthly.

The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement 
dates and does not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward. The amounts 
disclosed in the table are the undiscounted contracted cash flows and therefore the balances in the table may not  
equal the balances in the consolidated statement of financial position due to the effect of discounting.

The timing of expected outflows is not expected to be materially different from contracted cashflows.

credit riSk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss  
to the Group.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit 
exposure to certain customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counter parties as a means of mitigating the risk of 
financial loss from defaults. In addition, sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or through the use  
of major credit cards, reducing credit risk associated with sales.
Trade receivables consist mainly of supplier rebates and franchise royalty income owing to the Group. Ongoing credit 
evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable. No impairment exists within trade receivables 
at year end. There are no balances within trade receivables that contain assets that are overdue but not impaired. It is 
expected that these balances will be received when due.

The credit risk for liquid funds and other short‑term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counter parties 
are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

Credit quality
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external 
credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates.

FiNANCiAL RiSk mANAGEmENT continued

market riSk

(i) Foreign currency risk
Most of the Group transactions are carried out in Australian Dollars. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from 
the Group’s New Zealand operations which are denominated in New Zealand Dollars.

Whilst the Group’s exposure to foreign currency is not considered to be material, the Group’s exposure to non-Australian 
Dollar cash flows is monitored in accordance with the Group’s risk management policies.

There are no material foreign currency denominated financial assets or liabilities at year end.

Market volatility in the New Zealand Dollar is unlikely to have a material impact on the Group’s pre‑tax profit or equity. 
Therefore a sensitivity analysis has not been performed.

(ii) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk arising from both short-term and long-term variable rate borrowings. The 
Group does not hedge against interest rate movements and monitors the exposure to interest rate risk in accordance 
with the Group’s risk management policy. All of the Group’s borrowings are denominated in Australian Dollars.

As at the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following variable rate borrowings outstanding:

Management considers that interests rates could reasonably increase by 1% or decrease by 0.5% (2016: increase of 1%, 
decrease of 0.5%). As these movements would not have a material impact on either the net result for the year or equity, 
no sensitivity analysis has been performed.

Consistent with the disclosures in the Company’s Prospectus, in the year ended 30 June 2017 Shaver Shop established 
a long term incentive plan (LTIP) to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of Shaver Shop senior executives. The 
LTIP is designed to align the interests of senior executives more closely with the interests of Shareholders by providing 
an opportunity for eligible senior executives to acquire shares subject to the conditions of the LTIP.

Under the plan, eligible participants were granted 1,300,000 plan shares which will only vest if certain criteria are met. 
The number of Plan Shares which will vest under the LTI Plan will be dependent on time based (years of service) and 
performance based criteria. Plan Shares are granted under the plan and funded by a limited recourse loan to the eligible 
senior executive. The Plan Shares rank pari passu in all respects with the ordinary shares of the Company.

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2017 annuaL report

The shares were granted to eligible participants on 22 June 2017. Based on the volume weighted price of shares traded 
in the five days up to and included the grant date, each share was worth $0.5899. Accordingly, limited recourse loans 
with an aggregated value of $766,870 were provided by the Company to the participants. The fair value at grant date 
of the LTIP shares is independently determined using an adjusted form of Black Scholes Model. The model takes into 
account the vesting criteria, the current share price, the expected dividend yield, the risk free interest rate, the expected 
volatility of the shares and the correlations and volatilities of peer group companies. 

The key assumptions used in the valuation model are:

>  Share price (at Grant Date) – $0.59

>  Exercise price (5 day VWAP to Grant Date) – $0.59 

>  Volatility – 45%

>  Dividend Yield – Nil (as dividend used to pay off loan value)

>  Risk free rate – 2%

In the year ended 30 June 2016, the Company maintained an Employee Performance Share Plan. The plan was 
approved by shareholders in August 2014 and designed to provide long term incentives for senior managers to deliver 
long term shareholder returns. Prior to the Company’s initial public offering (IPO), these shares were converted to 
ordinary shares that were either sold or retained by the relevant participants at the time of the IPO. As a result, the 
Employee Performance Share Plan is no longer maintained by the Company.

Total expenses arising during the year ended 30 June 2017 as a result of share based transactions were $48,315  
(2016: $271,313).

2017 annuaL report

Our audit approach 

An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from 
material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if 
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the financial report. 

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an 
opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management 
structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. 

Materiality 

 

For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group materiality of $652,000 which represents approximately 
5% of the Group’s profit before tax. 

  We applied this threshold, together with qualitative considerations, to determine the scope of our audit and 
the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the 
financial report as a whole. 

  We chose group profit before tax because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of 
the Group is most commonly measured. We utilised a 5% threshold based on our professional judgement, 
noting it is within the range of commonly accepted thresholds.  

Audit Scope 

  Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgments; for example, significant accounting 

estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events. 

 

The Group sells personal grooming products to customers across Australia and New Zealand, through retail 
stores and the Group’s website. The products are predominately held in the Group’s warehouse in Melbourne, 
and across the retail stores. The accounting processes are structured around a group finance function at the 
head office in Melbourne where the majority of our audit procedures were performed.  

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the 
context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do 

65 

65

 
 
 
iNdEPENdENT AUdiTOR’S REPORT

not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a 
particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the 
Audit and Risk Committee. 

Key audit matter 

Carrying value of goodwill 
(Refer to note 13) $38.8 million 

At 30 June 2017 the Group had a balance of 
$38.8m of goodwill in the financial report. 

How our audit addressed the key audit 
matter 

Our audit procedures included:  

 Making an assessment of whether the CGUs 
identified by the Group were consistent with our 
knowledge of the Group’s operations and internal 
reporting.  

Australian Accounting Standards require the 
Group to assess the carrying value of goodwill 
each year for impairment at the Cash Generating 
Unit (CGU) level. 

 Assessing whether the CGUs appropriately 
included all assets, liabilities and cash flows 
directly attributable to each CGU and a 
reasonable allocation of corporate overheads. 

We focussed on the impairment assessment due 
to the size of the goodwill balance and the 
significant judgements and assumptions required 
in estimating the future performance of the Group 
in the Group’s discounted cashflow impairment 
model (the impairment model). 

 Testing that forecast cash flows used in the 
impairment model were consistent with the most 
up-to-date budgets and business plans presented 
to and discussed with the board of directors. 

 Evaluating the Group’s track record of 
forecasting future results within impairment 
models based on a comparison of budgets with 
reported actual results for the previous year.  

 Performing a sensitivity analysis on key 
assumptions. Calculations were most sensitive to 
changes in sales and EBITDA growth rate 
assumptions. We adjusted the impairment model 
for our view of other foreseeable outcomes to 
consider their impact.   

 With the assistance of our valuation experts, 
evaluating the appropriateness of the discount 
rate by assessing the reasonableness of the 
relevant inputs to the calculation against industry 
and market factors.  

 Testing of the mathematical accuracy of the 
impairment model’s calculations.  

 Evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of 
disclosures in note 13, including those regarding 
the key assumptions and sensitivities to changes 
in such assumptions, in light of the requirements

Key audit matter 

Carrying value of inventory 
(Refer to note 11) $29.1 million 

At 30 June 2017 the Group recognised inventory 
of $29.1 million in the financial report.  

The Group also recognised a provision for 
obsolete inventory of $594k. The Group estimate 
the required provision using past experience and 
judgement to determine the likely sales volumes 
and expected future selling prices and associated 
costs. 

We have focused on this matter because of the 
significant judgement and estimation involved in 
determining the net realisable value of inventory 
and the potentially material impact on the 
financial report. 

Accounting for supplier rebates 
(Refer to note 2 (n))  

The Group has entered into a number of 
arrangements with various suppliers under which 
they receive rebates for purchasing goods. These 
rebates are known as supplier volume rebates and 
vary dependent on the specific terms agreed with 
each supplier in relation to the rebate rate(s) and 
the range of products included.  

We have focused on this matter because of the 
magnitude and number of rebates received during 
the year, and the different terms applicable to 

How our audit addressed the key audit 
matter 

of Australian Accounting Standards. 

Our procedures included the following:   

  Testing to verify that all inventory 

balances were included in the provision 
calculation. 

  An evaluation of whether the 

methodology applied to calculate the 
provision was consistent with that 
applied in the prior year. 

  Assessing the Group’s historical ability to 
make estimates by testing a sample of 
products included in the prior year 
inventory provision, including comparing 
the estimated recoverable amount to the 
actual gross margin earned on those 
products sold in the financial year, and 
considering the clearance rate. 

  Testing of the mathematical accuracy of 

the provision calculation.  

  Evaluating whether the provision for 
inventory was adequate by assessing:  

- 

- 

the gross margins recognised by 
the Group; and 
the inventory turnover ratio and 
ageing, including a comparison to 
the  prior year.  

Our audit procedures included the following: 

  Obtained confirmations from a sample of 
suppliers of the quantity of relevant 
inventory purchased and the terms of 
rebate and compared these to the 
information used in the Group’s 
calculations.  

  Tested the mathematical accuracy of the 

Group’s rebate calculations.

each rebate agreement.  

Other information 

How our audit addressed the key audit 
matter 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information included in the Group's 
annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017 comprises the Directors report (but does not include 
the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this 
auditor's report. We also expect other information to be made available to us after the date of this 
auditor's report, including the Chairman’s and CEO’s report and Corporate Information.   

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not 
express an opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

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

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

When we read the other information not yet received as identified above, if we conclude that there is a 
material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and use 
our professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take. 

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report 

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

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an 
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
