Chairman’S 
and Ceo’S 
Letter

On behalf of Shaver Shop’s board of directors, we are 
pleased to present to shareholders Shaver Shop’s annual 
report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.

Shaver Shop’s growth strategy is concentrated  
on three key pillars:

1.  Organic growth in our personal grooming  

and beauty business

2.  New store expansion

3.  Franchise store buybacks

Each of these pillars has a number of discrete objectives 
that are aligned to achieving our end goals and that  
we expect to drive enhanced returns for shareholders.  
In its 2018 financial year, Shaver Shop continued to take 
significant steps in executing this strategy which position 
it well to drive sustainable earnings growth and increased 
value for our shareholders over the long term. 

Some of the key achievements during the year include:

1.  Expanding our relevance to female customers  
through the addition of luxury brands such  
as Dyson Supersonic and ghd;

2.  Ongoing enhancements to our omni-channel marketing 
capabilities in Australia and New Zealand which has 

led to online sales growth in excess of 47% and brand 
awareness of approximately 87%;

3.  Expanding our range of “own-brand” product lines that 
will improve gross profit margins and increase control 
over Shaver Shop’s destiny;

4.  Investments in technology that enable our leaders  
and store managers to monitor and optimise sales  
and customer service metrics in near real-time;

5.  Investments in training solutions that ensure our team 
members are experts in personal grooming solutions 
and provide unmatched advice and insight to customers;

6.  Commencing the implementation of new operational 
platforms that will drive increased efficiency through 
automation and compliance;

7.  Launching eight new stores in Australia; and

8.  Acquiring four franchise outlets.

While significant progress was made last year that has 
improved our competitive positioning, we operate in an 
attractive market segment and have several initiatives  
that should further enhance our growth potential which 
gives us confidence that we are on the right track looking  
forward to 2019 and beyond.

2018 annuaL report

FinanCiaL perFormanCe

CuStomer ServiCe eXCeLLenCe

Full year sales were up 8.7% in to $154.9 million leading  
to normalised earnings before interest, tax, depreciation 
and amortization (EBITDA) of $13.2 million. The growth  
in sales was driven primarily by the increase in corporate 
store locations from 95 at the end of last financial year  
to 106 at 30 June 2018. There are now 7 franchise stores 
based in NSW and 2 in Victoria and while our strategy 
continues to involve franchise buy-backs, we will maintain 
our disciplined investment approach so that we achieve 
our targeted returns. 

Sales grew solidly last year despite a significant reduction 
in contribution from the Daigou reseller channel in 
comparison to the prior year. We estimate that Daigou 
channel sales reduced from $12.1million in FY17 to  
$5.4 million in FY18. The reduction in sales through  
this channel was primarily due to the loss of supply of  
a range of female beauty products that resonated very 
well with these customers in the second half of FY17.  
If the Daigou channel sales are removed from both 
periods, underlying sales increased 14.6%. The Daigou 
reseller channel remains a legitimate opportunity for 
Shaver Shop, however it is volatile and very difficult  
to predict. By the end of FY18 it no longer represented  
a material contributor to the group’s earnings. And while 
this could change quite rapidly, it’s largely outside Shaver 
Shop’s control and therefore not receiving significant 
focus from the business as we move into FY19.

Normalised EBITDA decreased approximately $1.7 million  
in FY18 in comparison to the prior year to $13.2 million. 
This was primarily due to the reduced contribution from 
Daigou channel sales discussed earlier. 

One of the highlights in our financial performance was the 
$12.1 million increase in operating cash flow to $15.5 million. 
This significant cash flow improvement, largely generated 
through a reduction stock levels across the corporate 
store network, enabled the business to continue to invest 
in new stores, acquire four franchise locations and pay  
a healthy dividend whilst at the same time buying back 
approximately 3% of basic shares on issue. 

Shaver Shop continues to have a strong balance sheet with 
conservative gearing. This gives us flexibility to continue 
investing in and supporting the underlying business as 
well as consider additional strategic capital management 
initiatives that may arise. 

Shaver Shop’s heritage is a service business. This initially 
started with a store focused on the repairs and maintenance 
of mens’ electric shavers, but has expanded over time  
to include both mens and womens personal grooming 
solutions. Customer service excellence and unparalleled 
product knowledge remains a core part of our DNA and  
is now something we can track day to day, hour by hour, 
with new technology solutions implemented in-store.

The data and insight gained from these new  
management tools are enabling us to influence  
the service and sales behaviour of our front line staff, 
achieving a better consistency and quality of service  
with each customer interaction. 

We are very proud that our net promoter score (a commonly 
used measure of customer satisfaction) is consistently at 
world class levels. We are also using the feedback gained 
from these tools to implement improvements in store 
design and merchandising. As our customers’ needs  
and preferences evolve, we will continue to refine Shaver 
Shop’s value proposition and product offering so we 
remain relevant in the market whilst staying true to the 
core values that have made Shaver Shop successful  
for over 32 years.

inveStinG For Future GroWth

As a specialty retailer, we are operating in a highly dynamic 
environment that requires us to be in tune with ongoing 
changes in our competitive environment as well as the 
way people choose to browse and shop for our products. 
Shaver Shop has made great strides in the last two years 
in improving and differentiating our in-store and online 
customer experience and have a number of further 
improvements in the pipeline for 2019 and beyond.  
These operational, systems and capability investments 
are crucial to the ongoing success and scalability of our 
business. So while these investment decisions may limit 
the earnings growth we would otherwise expect to see  
in FY19, we are confident we are taking the right steps  
in building the foundations for sustainable growth in 
shareholder value.

Finally, on behalf of all Shaver Shop directors, we would 
like to thank all our people for their passion and dedication 
to delivering outstanding service for our customers and 
another solid year of financial results in dynamic operating 
conditions. We look forward to their ongoing support  
and commitment as we continue to execute our strategic 
imperatives that will continue to position Shaver Shop  
as a category leader in personal grooming solutions for 
him and her.

dividendS paid or reCommended 

The Directors declared an interim dividend of 1.8 cents per share fully franked ($2.2 million) in February 2018 (2017:  
1.6 cents per share fully franked or $2.0m). The Directors have declared a fully franked final dividend of 2.4 cents per 
share ($3.0 million) to be paid on 31 October 2018 (2017: 2.4 cents per share fully franked or $3.0m). The combined 
dividend payments represent the payout of approximately 80% of the Company’s FY2018 reported net profit after tax.

2018 operatinG and FinanCiaL revieW 

The statutory net profit after income tax (NPAT) amounted to $6.6 million (FY2017: $9.0 million) after subtracting 
income tax expense of $3.1 million (FY2017: $4.1 million). The decrease in net profit after income tax is primarily due  
to the reduced contribution from multi-unit reseller channel sales in FY2018 versus the prior financial year. As noted in 
the FY2017 Director’s Report, 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 female beauty product lines in high 
volume and lower average gross margins through its corporate and franchise store network. In early FY2018 Shaver 
Shop could no longer secure supply of the key product lines sold into this channel and accordingly the earnings 
contribution from this channel reduced significantly in FY2018. In addition, Shaver Shop was subject to a number  
of one-off and unusual expenses which reduced its FY2018 profitability. These are discussed in more detail in the  
report that follows. If these one-off costs are excluded, normalised net profit after tax was $7.2 million.

07

 direCtorS’  report 

non-iFrS meaSureS

The Directors’ Report includes references to normalised results. The normalisations relate to the year ended 30 June 2018 
and arise as a result of significant and unusual expenses incurred in the year. In 1H FY2018, two of Shaver Shop’s 
suppliers (the suppliers were affiliated with each other) appointed liquidators. Provisions totalling $491,000 were raised 
against rebates and other receivables owing from these suppliers to Shaver Shop as well as the remaining stock on 
hand. The nature and magnitude of this loss is extremely unusual and unlike anything Shaver Shop has experienced.  
In 2H FY2018, Shaver Shop settled a disputed stamp duty assessment relating to the franchises acquired in South 
Australia prior to 30 June 2015. Whilst Shaver Shop and its tax advisors remain of the view the assessment of the 
Stamp Duty was inappropriately applied to the related transactions, Shaver Shop took a commercial decision to settle 
the dispute rather than incur significant legal costs and be subject to protracted litigation. There is no further risk of 
stamp duty re-assessments in relation to SA franchise buy-backs as the stamp duty rules applying to these transactions 
changed in June 2015. Finally, Shaver Shop was the subject of internal fraud in 2H FY2018, in which one of Shaver 
Shop’s store managers made significant unauthorised transactions to multi-unit reseller customers at prices that were 
significantly below Shaver Shop’s cost of goods. Whilst Shaver Shop’s financial controls were in place and operating 
effectively, the manager falsified transactional records to conceal the fraudulent activity. Shaver Shop engaged an 
external investigator to review circumstances that led to these transactions and in conjunction with this review has 
implemented additional controls to further reduce the risk of this happening in the future.

The normalised results have been derived from Shaver Shop’s statutory accounts and adjusted to a normalised basis  
to more appropriately reflect the ongoing operations of Shaver Shop. 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. Non-IFRS 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 FY2018 was 
$12.2 million (FY2017: $14.9 million).

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 A IFRS. Other companies may calculate EBITDA in a different manner to Shaver Shop. The above 
EBITDA reconciliation has not been audited.

The pro-forma adjustment to FY2017 tax expense was not in the Prospectus forecast for FY2017.

Shaver Shop receives a tax deduction over five years for the cost of franchise right terminations that occur through its 
franchise buy-back program. This is recorded as an adjustment to goodwill and therefore leads to income tax payable 
being lower than income tax expense for the five year tax period following each buy-back. Based on the franchise  
buy-backs completed to date, the reduction in cash tax payable for FY2018 and each subsequent financial year is set  
out in the table below.

normaLiSed reSuLtS SummarY

In FY2018, the Company grew consolidated revenue by 8.7% to $154.9 million (FY2017 – $142.6 million). The top-line 
growth was primarily due to the increase in the number of corporate stores in the network (growing from 95 at  
30 June 2018 to 106 at 30 June 2018). Shaver Shop opened 8 new locations and bought back 4 franchise outlets  
during FY2018. In addition, one store has been temporarily closed as the centre goes through a major refurbishment. 
Total like for like sales for the Corporate Store network declined –3.4% in FY2018 (FY2017 +6.2%) due to the significant 
decline in sales through the multi-unit reseller channel. If the estimated sales impact of these high volume, lower  
margin sales are excluded from both years, the estimated underlying like for like sales growth of the Company was 
+1.6% in FY2018 (FY2017 down –1.5%).

Contributing to the growth in underlying like for like sales was continued growth in Shaver Shop’s online sales – up 
47.4% in FY2018 over the prior year. Total online sales represented 10.0% of total network sales in FY2018. This follows 
significant investments in Shaver Shop’s e-commerce systems as well as increased focus on digital marketing activities 
during the year in comparison to FY2017.

Normalised gross profit increased 7.9% to $64.2 million (FY2017 – $59.5 million). Gross profit margin declined 
approximately 30 basis points to 41.4% (FY2017 – 41.7%). Changes in product mix, discounts to products in the Hair 
Styling category to make room for new brand additions (Dyson and ghd hair), as well as the deliberate decision to 
increase promotional activity following a weaker than expected lead into the seasonally higher Christmas and Boxing 
Day trading period, were the key drivers of the decline in gross margin.

Shaver Shop’s normalised cost of doing business (CODB%) (normalised operating expenses divided by total revenue) 
increased 40 basis points to 34.2% (FY2017 – 33.8%). The increase in CODB% was primarily driven by the impact of the 
reduced multi-unit reseller channel sales in FY2018 in comparison to the prior year which increased the relative CODB% 
accordingly. If the impact of these multi-unit reseller sales were removed from both years, CODB% would have declined 
year over year.

The dollar increase in employee benefits expense, occupancy costs, and other expenses was primarily associated with 
the increase in the average number of corporate stores operated by Shaver Shop across FY2018 in comparison to the 
prior financial year.

Consolidated normalised EBITDA declined ~11.5% to $13.2m (FY2017 – $14.9m) primarily due to the reduced 
contribution from the multi-unit reseller channel during the year, together with the decline in gross profit margin  
within the business. The performance of recent franchise buy-backs (mostly in NSW) has also not met expectation.

Normalised NPAT declined 20.2% to $7.2m leading to basic earnings per share of 5.83 cents (FY2017 – 7.26 cents).  
After adjusting for the tax benefit associated with franchise buy-backs, Shaver Shop’s Cash NPAT was 7.27 cents per 
share (FY2017 – 8.51 cents), a decline of 14.6% over the prior corresponding year.

LiQuiditY and CapitaL manaGement

In July 2018, Shaver Shop refinanced its existing bank facilities and established a new $20.0 million multi-option debt 
facility with a $1.0 million facility to support bank guarantees. The new facility has a term of two years, expiring on  
31 July 2020.

At 30 June 2018, Shaver Shop had gross debt of $11.3 million (FY2017 – $11.8 million). Net debt (gross debt less cash  
on hand) was $8.4 million at 30 June 2018 (FY2017 – $9.4 million) providing a leverage ratio (Net Debt/Normalised 
EBITDA) of 0.64X (FY2017 – 0.63X).

The Company’s new debt facility has three key covenants: the leverage ratio; the fixed coverage ratio ((Occupancy Costs  
+ EBITDA)/(Occupancy Costs + Interest expense); and the net worth ratio ((Total assets – Total liabilities)/Total assets).  
All banking covenants were well within the bank’s thresholds for FY2018.

Shaver Shop announced an on-market buy-back of its shares on 26 October 2017. In the subsequent period to  
30 June 2018, Shaver Shop acquired 3,234,348 ordinary shares for consideration of $1,488,062.

StrateGY

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 online marketplaces 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 FY2018, Shaver Shop opened 
8 new stores and has identified 5 additional stores it intends to open in the first six months of FY2019.

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 2018, there were 9 (FY2017 – 13) franchise stores within the Shaver 
Shop network.

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 

11

 direCtorS’  report 

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 Australia.

Seasonality of trading patterns

Shaver Shop’s sales are subject to seasonal patterns. In FY2018, the contribution of sales for the first half to total sales 
for the full year was approximately 60% driven in part by higher multi-unit reseller channel sales in the first half of the 
financial year. The seasonality of Shaver Shop’s sales towards the first half of the financial year 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.

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 FY2018, approximately 89% (FY2017 – 89%) of Shaver Shop’s total network sales came from 
products sourced from its top 10 suppliers. Shaver Shop’s largest supplier constitutes approximately 29% (FY2017 
– 24%) of all supply purchases, with the next two largest suppliers contributing approximately 19% (FY2017 – 17%)  
and 15% (FY2017 –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. Shaver Shop has a limited number of fixed contracts in place with suppliers relating to 
rebates and contribution income. Most suppliers who provide 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 

12

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2018 annuaL report

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.

Subsequent to year end, the Directors declared a fully-franked final dividend of 2.4 cents per share to shareholders

In July 2018, Shaver Shop refinanced its existing bank facilities and established a new $20.0 million multi-option debt 
facility with a $1.0 million facility to support bank guarantees. The new facility has a term of two years, expiring on  
31 July 2020.

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 

The key indicators for Shaver Shop’s business remain robust with strong in-store customer service and sales conversion 
metrics, strong online growth, improved stock turns and significantly improved operating cash flow.

To prepare for the next phase of growth in our core business, Shaver Shop is making significant investments in people, 
systems and processes in FY2019. The investments may not deliver significant earnings upside in FY2019 over the 
FY2018 Normalised EBITDA result, but are expected deliver incremental sales growth and operational efficiency in the 
years beyond. So while the Board expects Shaver Shop to deliver underlying like for like sales growth and a restoration 
to more normal gross profit margins in FY2019, this improvement will be moderated by the incremental, but necessary 
investments required for sustainable long term growth.

remuneration overvieW 

The Board recognises that the performance of the Group depends to a large extent on the quality and motivation of  
the Shaver Shop team, including the Senior Executives and our 733 team members (2017: 555) 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.

In FY2018, no short term incentive (STI) cash bonuses were paid to Senior Executives, however the Board did approve 
two small discretionary bonuses. The primary performance mechanism for determining whether Senior Executive  
STIs are paid, is a pre-determined EBITDA growth rate of the business versus the prior year. In FY2018, the Company’s 
financial performance was disappointing and as a result the minimum STI target was not met and no STI was awarded. 
The Board believes the STI outcomes were fair and appropriate and reflect the alignment between shareholders’ 
interests and the Company’s remuneration practices and policies.

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. In FY2018, Shaver Shop 
extended the LTIP to more members of the Company’s leadership and operations teams and issued 1,910,000 shares. 
Both the FY2017 and FY2018 LTIP share allocations are subject to Service, Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Earnings 
Per Share (EPS) 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 as well as the appointment of a National Training Manager with significant experience  
in the product categories and desired solution sales process. 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 national 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.

16

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2018 annuaL report

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.

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 deliberate 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.

(F) 

Senior eXeCutive remuneration StruCture 

The remuneration framework for Senior Executives is based on a structure that includes:

1.  Fixed remuneration – salary and superannuation and non-monetary benefits

2.  Short Term Incentives – tied to in year performance against metrics

3.  Long Term Incentives – tied to multi year performance against value creation metrics

The proportion of remuneration between fixed and variable (i.e. at risk) for a Senior Executive is determined after 
consideration of the seniority of the role, the responsibilities of the role for driving business performance and 
responsibilities for developing and implementing business strategy.

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.

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)

FY2018 STIs for Senior Executives are dependent on the percentage growth in EBITDA over FY2017. Senior Executives 
receive 100% of their targeted STI if the growth rate in EBITDA in FY2018 is greater than or equal to 15%. If the EBITDA 
growth rate is below 5% Senior Executives are not eligible to receive their STI. STIs are contracted with the Senior 
Executive and capped to a maximum amount relative to their Fixed Remuneration. The Board of Directors may decide  
to pay Senior Executives discretionary bonuses depending on individual and Company performance. The Remuneration 
Committee and Board of Directors chose EBITDA growth as the performance measure because the Company believes 
this is one of the key business drivers that is understood by stakeholders and is a balanced indicator of the relative 
performance of the business.

Long Term Incentives (LTI)

Shaver Shop established a Long Term Incentive Plan (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 following the release of the Company’s annual financial results to the market. 
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.

18

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2018 annuaL report

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.

2018 LTI Plan Details

The Company has offered certain members of the leadership and operations team the right to acquire up to 1,910,000 
Plan Shares (representing approximately 1.5% of the Company’s issued share capital). The Plan Shares are divided into 
three equal tranches 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 2017 to 30 June 2018

>  Tranche 2 – 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2019

>  Tranche 3 – 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020.

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

The table on the next page under “FY2018 LTIP 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 Conditions

The performance conditions are to 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.

TSR Performance Conditions

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 starting point for the TSR performance hurdle is the 5 day volume weighted average price (VWAP) per share 
following the release of the Company’s FY2017 financial results – $0.6829). Each TSR performance period concludes 
based on the 5 day VWAP of the Company’s shares following the relevant period’s full year results announcement.

The following table outlines the TSR performance hurdles which must be met in order for Plan Shares to vest:

EPS Performance Conditions

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 period 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.

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 
Shares issued to the participant will not vest regardless of whether the performance conditions have been met.

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 2020 

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 2020

The terms and conditions of the LTIP are discussed in detail under section (f) (i) of the 
Remuneration Report: “FY18 Remuneration and Incentive Structure”

The Grant Date for the FY18 LTIP Shares is 26 October 2017.

The LTIP Shares vest on the satisfaction of the applicable performance, service or 
other vesting conditions specified at the time of grant.

Expiry date

There is no expiry date of the LTIP Shares.

Exercise price

Not applicable.

Performance achieved

Subject to the service conditions being met for the relevant LTIP tranche, the Total 
Shareholder Return CAGR and the EPS CAGR over the relevant period will determine 
the number of LTIP Shares that vest for the relevant LTIP tranche.

Vested

At the date of this report, none of the LTIP Shares have vested.

2017 LTI Plan Details 

1,300,000 Plan Shares were issued under the FY2017 LTIP Allocation. 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 on the next page under “FY2017 LTIP 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 Conditions

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.

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 FY2018, the annual base Non-Executive Director fees currently agreed to be paid by the Company are $140,000 
(FY2017 – $140,000) to the Chairman of the Board (Brodie Arnhold), $80,000 (FY2017 – $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 (FY2017 – $70,000) to each of Melanie Wilson and Brian Singer. These amounts comprise  
fees paid in cash. In subsequent years, these figures may vary. The director’s fees for Trent Peterson are paid to Catalyst 
Direct Capital Management Pty Ltd. The director’s fees for Melanie Wilson are paid to Peandel Pty Limited.

Directors may also be reimbursed for travel and other expenses incurred in attending to the Company’s affairs.

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 23 August 2018.

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 2018 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.

(B) 

neW aCCountinG StandardS and interpretationS not Yet mandatorY  
or earLY adopted

The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application 
dates for future reporting periods. The Group has decided not to early adopt these standards. The following table 
summarises those future requirements, and their impact on the Group where the standard is relevant:

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. 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 Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018. The Group has commenced the assessment of the impact of its 
adoption and have not identified any changes from the either the classification and measurement for financial assets  
or hedge accounting requirements changes that will have a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised 
in the financial statements. However, the Group are still assessing any potential impact for the impairment changes 
under an expected credit losses method which may impact the calculation of the provision for doubtful debts.

33

noteS to the FinanCiaL StatementS

SummarY oF SiGniFiCant aCCountinG poLiCieS CONTINUED

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. This new standard will 
replace AASB 118 Revenue which covers revenue arising from the sale of goods and the rendering of services and  
AASB 111 Construction Contracts which covers construction contracts.

The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers  
to a customer and permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption.

The Group will adopt this standard using the modified retrospective approach from 1 July 2018 and has performed  
an initial assessment of the impact of this change. Given that majority of the Group revenue is derived from over the 
counter sale of goods it is not expected that this adoption will have a material impact.

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 was issued in February 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the 
distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the 
leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value 
leases. The accounting for lessors will not significantly change. The standard will affect primarily the accounting for  
the group’s operating leases.

The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 and has engaged with an external provider to consolidate the 
required leasing information in order to perform quantification of this change which is still underway. As at the reporting 
date, the group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments $32,467,363 and it is expected that this change will 
have a material impact. 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 balance sheet, profit and 
classification of cash flows. The Group will continue to work with the external provider to assess the quantification of 
this change and the impact of its adoption.

(C) 

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.

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.

(d) 

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.

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.

(F) 

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.

(G) 

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 buy-back 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 

35

noteS to the FinanCiaL StatementS

2 

SummarY oF SiGniFiCant aCCountinG poLiCieS CONTINUED

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.

(h) 

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.

(i) 

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 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.

(J) 

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.

36

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2018 annuaL report

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.

(K) 

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.

(L) 

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.

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.

(m) 

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.

37

SummarY oF SiGniFiCant aCCountinG poLiCieS CONTINUED

(n) 

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.

(o) 

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.

(p) 

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.

(Q) 

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.

38

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2018 annuaL report

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 LTI Plan.

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).

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.

(r) 

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.

(S) 

BorroWinG CoStS 

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

(t) 

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.

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.

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 and included in the calculation of goodwill. 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.

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 $3.97 million.

Had the results of the acquired franchise stores been consolidated from 1 July 2017, additional revenue of the Group 
would have been $2.27 million for the year ended 30 June 2018.

Acquisition related costs for the franchise buy-backs were not material and are included in other expenses in the profit

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 2018, the Group operated 100 Corporate stores in Australia (2017: 89) and 6 Corporate Stores in New Zealand 
(2017: 6). Sales and profit derived from outside Australia are not material to disclose.

Inventories recognised as an expense during the year ended 30 June 2018 amounted to $90,920,438 (2017: 
$83,095,092). These were recognised in cost of goods sold. The Company has created a provision for slow moving 
inventories. At 30 June 2018, this amounted to $688,412 (2017: $594,352). Any movement in the slow moving stock 
provision for the year is recognised in cost of goods sold.

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.

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 2018. 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 and presented to the Board of Directors covering  
a five year period. Cash flows beyond the five year period are extrapolated using estimated growth rates of 2.5% 
(2017:3%). The pre tax discount rate applied to cash flow projected is 12.9%.

46

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2018 annuaL report

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 
forecast timeline. The gross margin used in the forecast period is 42.3%.

Growth rate: Sales growth rates are based on management’s best estimates of anticipated growth in the short to 
medium term and consider the historical average like for like sales growth achieved in the past. The growth rate in the 
terminal year is 2.5% (2017: 3.0%) and the same store sales growth rate used for the five year forecast period is 4.0%.

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 recoverable amount of goodwill is sensitive to the assumptions 
used in the model. A one percent change in the discount rate changes the recoverable amount by approximately  
$17 million. A one percent change in the terminal growth rate and five year growth rate changes the recoverable  
amount by approximately $35 million.

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

Shaver Shop has issued 3,210,000 (FY2017: 1,300,000) shares (LTI Plan Shares) under its Long Term Incentive Plan  
(LTI Plan). The LTI Plan Shares have vesting criteria and are therefore only included, if appropriate, in diluted share 
calculations and are not included in the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding.

The LTI Plan Shares are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of fully diluted shares 
outstanding because the average market price of the Company’s shares was below the exercise price of the LTP Plan 
Shares for the year ended 30 June 2018. The LTI Plan Shares could potentially be included in the number of fully diluted 
shares outstanding in the future.

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company. 
On a show of hands at meetings of the Company, each holder of ordinary shares has one vote in person or by proxy, and 
upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.

The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its shares.

(B) 

CapitaL manaGement 

Capital of the Group is managed in order to safeguard the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, to provide 
returns for shareholders, benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure.

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.

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2018 annuaL report

Operating leases have been taken out for retail stores and head office. Lease payments are increased on an annual basis 
to reflect market rentals. The Company has Bank Guarantees in place as security for rental payments on several of its 
locations. As at 30 June 2018, $721,916, was drawn under the Company’s bank guarantee facility.

The AASB has issued a new standard to govern accounting for leases. This will replace AASB 117 which previously 
governed the accounting and disclosure of leases.

AASB 16 was issued in February 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the 
distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the 
leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value 
leases. The accounting for lessors will not significantly change. The standard will affect primarily the accounting for  
the group’s operating leases. As at the reporting date, the group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of 
$32,467,363. 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.

The standard is mandatory for first interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. 
At this stage, the group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date.

24 

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.

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.

53

noteS to the FinanCiaL StatementS

24 

FinanCiaL riSK manaGement CONTINUED

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.

(i) Financing arrangements

The Group had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:

The multi-option facility has a limit of $23.0 million and was drawn to $11.3 million as at 30 June 2018. In addition, Shaver 
Shop has access to a bank guarantee facility with a limit of $2.0 million was drawn to $0.7 million as at 30 June 2018. 
The multi-option facility bears an interest rate of BBSY +1.65%. Both facilities were renegotiated in July 2018. The new 
multi-option facility has a borrowing limit of $20.0 million and the bank guarantee facility has a limit of $1.0 million. Both 
facilities mature on 31 July 2020. The new multi-option facility has interest rates varying from BBSY +1.10% to BBSY 
+1.55% depending on the sub facility being utilised.

(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities

The Group‘s liabilities have contractual maturities which are summarised below:

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.

54

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2018 annuaL report

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.

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.

Shaver Shop Pty Ltd has an inter-company receivable of $3.9 million at 30 June 2018 (30 June 2017: $4.0 million).  
This balance represents the initial and ongoing investment in Shaver Shop’s New Zealand operations.

Based on the year end balance, a 1% appreciation in the NZ dollar has approximately a $35,000 impact on the 
company’s pre-tax profit.

(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% (2017: 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.

In FY2017, the Company established a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan) to assist in the motivation, retention and 
reward of 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 Shaver Shop managers and executives to acquire 
shares (Plan Shares) in the Company subject to the conditions of the LTIP. Plan Shares that are granted under the  
plan may be funded by a limited recourse loan to the eligible participant from the Company or one of its subsidiaries. 
The Plan Shares rank pari passu in all respects with the ordinary shares of the Company.

Under the terms of the LTIP and relevant offer letters, vesting of the LTIP shares is subject to the achievement of 
performance conditions as well as service conditions. Vesting of 70% of the LTIP shares is subject to the achievement 
of a minimum Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and 30% of the LTIP shares is subject to the achievement of EPS conditions. 
If the minimum TSR and EPS performance conditions are achieved, then the relevant service condition attaching to the 
shares must also be met. In the event the participant leaves the Company prior to the vesting date, the options will 
generally lapse.

In FY2017, the Company issued 1,300,000 Plan Shares to eligible participants. In FY2018, the Company broadened  
the eligible participant base with 1,910,000 shares issued to eligible participants. The Plan Shares have been treated  
as equity-settled share-based payment transactions in the Company’s financial accounts.

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 assessed fair value at grant date of Plan Shares granted during the year ended 30 June 2018 varied from $0.03 per Plan 
Share to $0.16 per Plan Share depending on the Grant Date and the relevant vesting criteria (FY17 – $0.06 to $0.23).

Independent auditor’s report 
To the members of Shaver Shop Group Limited  

Report on the audit of the financial report 

Our opinion 

In our opinion: 

The accompanying financial report of Shaver Shop Group Limited (the Company) and its controlled 
entities (together the Group) is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

1. 

2. 

giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its 
financial performance for the year then ended  

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

What we have audited 
The Group financial report comprises: 

 
 
 
 
 

 

the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018 

the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended 

the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended 

the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended 

the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of significant 
accounting policies 

the directors’ declaration. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial 
report section of our report. 

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

Independence 
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical 
Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant 
to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities 
in accordance with the Code. 

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. 

69 

66

 
Shaver Shop Group Limited
2018 annuaL 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 

Audit scope 

Key audit matters 

  Amongst other relevant topics, 

we communicated the 
following key audit matters to 
the Audit and Risk Committee: 

  Carrying value of goodwill  
  Carrying value of inventory 
  Accounting for supplier 

rebates 

 

These are further described in 
the Key audit matters section 
of our report. 

 

For the purpose of our audit 
we used overall Group 
materiality of $487,000 
million, which represents 
approximately 5% of the 
Group’s profit before tax. 

  We applied this threshold, 

  Our audit focused on where 
the Group made subjective 
judgements; for example, 
significant accounting 
estimates involving 
assumptions and inherently 
uncertain future events. 

The Group sells personal 
grooming and beauty 
appliances 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 located at the head 
office in Melbourne where the 
majority of our audit 
procedures were performed.  

 

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 metric against which the 
performance of the Group is 
most commonly measured.  
We selected 5% based on our 
professional judgement, 
noting it is within the range of 
commonly accepted 
thresholds.   

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 
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a 
particular audit procedure is made in that context.

independent audit report

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Carrying value of goodwill  
(Refer to note 13) [$41.7m] 

Our audit procedures included:  

At 30 June 2018 the Group recognised a 
balance of $41.7million of goodwill in the 
financial report.  

  Making an assessment of whether the CGU 
identified by the Group was 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 CGU appropriately 
included all directly attributable assets, 
liabilities, corporate overheads and cash 
flows.  

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 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.  

  Considered the Group’s sensitivity analysis on 
the key assumptions used in the impairment 
model. We assessed the assumptions with our 
view on other reasonably possible outcomes in 
light of the industry the Group operates in and 
past performance. 

  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 of Australian 
Accounting Standards.

Shaver Shop Group Limited
2018 annuaL report

Carrying value of inventory 
(Refer to note 11) [$23.9m] 

At 30 June 2018 the Group recognised 
inventory of $23.9 million in the financial 
report.  

The Group also recognised a provision for 
obsolete inventory of $688,000. 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. 

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 
and if not we have considered whether the 
changes in the methodology are reasonable 
and in line with Australian Accounting 
Standards. 

  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 gain or loss 
earned on those products sold in the financial 
year. 

  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 

- the inventory turnover ratio and ageing, 
including a comparison to the prior year.  

Accounting for supplier rebates 
(Refer to note 2(O)) [$1.6m] 

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 each rebate agreement.  

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 

  For a sample of rebates not subject to 

confirmation procedures, we have obtained 
evidence of payment and a valid arrangement.

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  Prior to the date of this auditor's report, 
the other information we obtained included the Directors report. We expect the remaining other 
information to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report, including Operational 
Highlights, Chairman’s and CEO’s Report, Shareholder Information, 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 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 
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.
