Shaver Shop has now reported 20 consecutive months of like for like sales growth – proof that our value proposition is resonating with a broad and growing customer base. Strong growth and resilience The 2020 financial year will go down as one like no other. Shaver Shop delivered a record sales and earnings result in the first half. Pleasingly, amid extreme macroeconomic and social uncertainty in the second half caused by COVID‑19, the Shaver Shop team and our business displayed its adaptability and resilience by meeting and overcoming each of the challenges we faced, leading to not only record results in the first half, but for the full year as well. With many of the traditional services like barbers, beauty clinics, salons and spas impacted by COVID‑19 restrictions, customers turned to Shaver Shop to provide beauty and grooming solutions that could be performed at home. We also saw customers increasingly choose to purchase online. These two growth drivers being: 1. The increasing number of customers that are choosing to perform their beauty regime at home; and 2. The increased acceptance of online shopping, accelerated as a result of COVID‑19 and we believe has led to a permanent shift in shopping trends. So while Shaver Shop was in an attractive and growing market prior to COVID‑19, we feel we are in an even better position today. What also became evident in the second half of FY2020 was Shaver Shop’s ability to successfully manage through the challenges of COVID‑19 both in terms of in‑store and online line operations and still deliver growth. Strategic priorities Over several years, we have communicated our intention of becoming the leading omni‑channel retailer in our category by making significant investments in technology and operational platforms. These investments served us very well over the last 12 months as customers continue to shift towards transacting online, particularly in the last three months of the year. But whilst we have made great progress, we still see significant growth and incremental returns being generated by future omni‑retail investments so that we make the communication and shopping experience with Shaver Shop even more seamless and engaging. Our stores and store teams will always be a core part of Shaver Shop’s omni‑retail strategy. Our stores are known for providing excellent customer service and product insight and they are also a core component of our online fulfilment model for both click and collect and delivery to the customer. We will continue to look to open new stores where returns are compelling. We will also look to refit and relocate existing locations at shopping centres where doing so is a positive use of capital. We see a number of opportunities to drive incremental growth by either relocating stores to higher foot traffic zones or by bringing the layout and look and feel of a store in‑line with current brand standards. 04 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 We are continually working with landlords to ensure store returns are optimised and reflect changes that may be occurring within each centre. And while we have a number of new stores in Australia we would like to open, there are also good compelling growth opportunities we see in New Zealand. This business had its strongest performance to date last year. We now have seven stores which means we have just started to reach a critical mass that is creating both positive brand recognition and improved earnings. Subject to meeting commercial imperatives, our intent is to increase stores to 10‑12 within the next two to three years as well as make further improvements in our online offering to drive substantial economies of scale across the Tasman. Balance sheet strength The Board has always maintained conservative gearing and this proved valuable over the last quarter of FY2020. Through prudent working capital management, Shaver Shop ended the year with no debt drawn on its $30 million facility and $12.6 million in cash in the bank. This allowed us to effectively re‑instate the 2.1 cent per share (80% franked) interim dividend by way of a special dividend that was paid in July 2020. The Board also declared a fully franked final dividend for FY2020 of 2.7 cents per share, which balances the desire to maintain a strong balance sheet through what will not doubt be ongoing uncertainty over the next 12‑24 months, continue investing in further omni‑retail and other growth initiatives that have proven highly successful to date, and provide increased returns for shareholders. Corporate Governance, Social Responsibility and Board Renewal Shaver Shop is committed to strong corporate governance and ethical decision making in an environment where corporate Australia is experiencing heightened public and regulatory scrutiny. We are also committed to ensuring the Board continually assesses its skills and experience. With the departure of Melanie Wilson late in the financial year and as part of our ongoing board evaluation process, the Board appointed Debra Singh in early September 2020. Debra brings a wealth of experience in executive level positions in the retail and consumer goods sectors and further strengthens our skills and capability. Finally, I would like to thank my Board colleagues as well as the Shaver Shop support office and in‑store teams, for their commitment to the business and their part in delivering a record financial result for Shaver Shop in FY2020. This is a major accomplishment that has significantly strengthened Shaver Shop’s capability to deliver long‑term value for shareholders. Thank you, our shareholders, for your continuing support of Shaver Shop. Yours sincerely Brodie Arnhold Chairman 05 MD & CEO’S LETTER The impact of COVID‑19 saw a tangible and immediate shift in the percentage of online transactions. This stress tested our in‑store fulfilment capacity and forced us to implement an alternative, high‑volume fulfilment option within little advance notice – something we achieved successfully at a third party warehouse. This warehouse now provides flexible fulfilment capacity that we can call upon, through peak promotional periods like Black Friday, without the year round capital and stock investment that would be required in setting up a dedicated online fulfilment operation. The strong top line growth together with ongoing cost control, enabled Shaver Shop to deliver earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $18.4 million (under AASB 117 Leases – old accounting standard), an increase of 36.0% on the $13.5 million normalised EBITDA generated last year. Comparable net profit after tax increased 44.6% to $10.6 million delivering earnings per share of 8.7 cents – another record result for the business. We were also able to generate exceptional operating cash flow of $28.9 million in FY2020 through the combination of strong earnings and a substantial reduction in stock levels across the network. The decision to convert stock to cash was deliberate and significantly increased our liquidity during the height of COVID‑19 uncertainty in Q4 FY2020. We are now in a very strong position not only to survive any further consumer sentiment volatility but to also accelerate our omni‑retail growth initiatives. FY2021 Priorities Having regard to the volatile social and macroeconomic environment, Shaver Shop must remain agile and adaptable so that we can continue to successfully navigate any challenges as they present themselves. We will maintain our focus on being the leading specialty retailer focused on personal grooming, beauty and personal care solutions for all members of the family. This means continuing to invest in our “always‑on” omni‑retail initiatives so that we leverage the core customer relationship, financial and operational technology platforms that have been implemented. With an active customer database now at 440,000 members, up 86% in the last 12 months, we will start communicating in a smarter and more targeted fashion so that customers have a more regular and engaging connection with Shaver Shop’s brand and the product categories they are interested in. Our “always‑on” marketing strategy is designed to ensure our communications activities are connecting with both new and existing customers through whatever media channel, and at whatever time, they choose. This means judiciously increasing our use of social media and other platforms that gain popularity. Cameron Fox Managing Director and CEO DEAR SHAREHOLDER, Thank you for continuing to support our business. I am extremely proud of the record financial and operational results that Shaver Shop achieved in FY2020. At all times, the health and safety of our teams and customers has been paramount. This will not change in the weeks and months ahead. Customer service excellence As a business that began its existence focused on maintaining and repairing mens’ electric shavers, service excellence has always been at the heart of Shaver Shop’s value system and we can only achieve our service targets with an engaged and highly capable team. Despite significant adversity in the second half, our team performed exceptionally well with customer service and satisfaction metrics at, or near, all‑time highs. This is a tribute to the dedication and focus of our store and operations team in what continues to be a difficult and unpredictable retail environment. Over the course of FY2020, our net promoter score (NPS), a measure of customer satisfaction, was continuously above 80, a world class result for the business. Even more impressive is that our NPS rating continued to improve since COVID‑19 which clearly shows that engaging and connecting with our customers is part of Shaver Shop’s core ethos. Record financial performance Not surprisingly the strong customer service metrics that were achieved translated to the top and bottom lines. Shaver Shop generated $194.9 million in sales, an increase of 16.4% over FY2019. The strong sales result was achieved despite 18 stores (or approximately 15% of the network) being closed for almost the entire month of April (due to COVID‑19) with many of those stores only gradually re‑opening through June 2020. Pleasingly, despite operating through fewer physical locations for a number of months, the substantial investments and effort in developing our omni‑retail sales and fulfilment capability over the last 24 months delivered exceptional returns in 2020 as online sales surged 103.5% to represent 22.7% of total sales. 06 Shaver Shop is in the enviable position of being a specialist retailer with product categories relevant to the mass market. Everyone has a need to shave, cut or style their hair or brush their teeth and with continual product enhancements each year, it is becoming easier and less expensive to get salon quality results in the comfort of your home. Our strong brand recognition and market share in core hair removal categories also means we have been able to obtain exclusive rights to sell many of these new products when they hit the market. The impact of recent social distancing restrictions has accelerated the trend towards DIY home beauty and personal grooming solutions which requires Shaver Shop to continue translating the experience and insights that customers get from speaking to our specialist in‑store teams, onto our website. We made significant progress with educating customers through the “How To” blog section of our website last year with dozens of instructional videos now readily available. Our New Zealand business continues to go from strength to strength and is now in a position where the investment made over the last 4‑5 years is poised to deliver tangible returns to the group. Finally, while we still see the opportunity to open new stores, with the changing retail landscape that is upon us, we will only do so where we are confident of delivering exceptional returns. We will also apply the same prudent investment approach to our store refit and relocation program that commenced approximately 18 months ago. So in summary, our priorities are clear, and with a strong management team in place focused on delivering results, we are in a very strong position to continue growing sales and market share as well as driving operational efficiency across our business. In conclusion, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire Shaver Shop team, but most specifically those on the front line in our stores, who have shown immense strength, dedication and courage over the last few months. I am extremely proud of their contribution and ability to maintain Shaver Shop’s commitment to customer safety and service excellence over the last six months under what have been very challenging circumstances.

Attendances by each director who was a member of the Board and relevant subcommittee during the year were as follows: Board of Directors Meetings Audit & Risk Committee Meetings Nomination & Remuneration Committee Meetings Number eligible to attend Number attended Number eligible to attend Number attended Number eligible to attend Number attended Broderick Arnhold Cameron Fox Craig Mathieson Trent Peterson Brian Singer Melanie Wilson 16 16 16 16 16 12 15 16 15 16 15 12 6 – 6 6 – – 6 – 6 6 – – – – – 4 4 3 – – – 4 4 3 DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED The Directors announced an interim dividend of 2.1 cents per share franked to 80% ($2.6 million) in February 2020 (2019: 2.0 cents per share 80% franked or $2.5 million). On 23 March 2020, the interim dividend was cancelled due to concerns about the potential impact of COVID‑19 on Shaver Shop’s business. In June 2020, as a result of the strong performance of Shaver Shop’s business in Q4 FY2020, the Directors declared a special dividend of 2.1 cents per share franked to 80% ($2.6 million) in June 2020 – equivalent to the interim dividend that was cancelled. The special dividend was paid on 16 July 2020. The Directors have announced a fully‑franked final dividend of 2.7 cents per share ($3.4 million) to be paid on 24 September 2020 (2019: 2.5 cents per share, 80% franked or $3.1 million). The combined special and final dividend payments represent the payout of approximately 56% of the Company’s FY2020 reported net profit after tax. 2020 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW Shaver Shop’s FY2020 statutory profit after income tax amounted to $10.6 million (FY2019: $6.7 million) after subtracting income tax expense of $4.5 million (FY2019: $3.0 million). The 59.0% increase in reported net profit after income tax was primarily due to: 1. Like for like store sales growth of 15.3% which was underpinned by online sales growth of 103.5%; 2. The recognition of $0.99 million in due diligence costs in H1 FY2019 associated with the evaluation of a significant acquisition opportunity during the period. Following due diligence, the acquisition did not proceed. No due diligence costs were incurred in FY2020; 3. Operating leverage across the business which led to total operating expenses growing at a slower rate than sales and gross profit; and 4. Four more stores in Shaver Shop’s corporate store network at the end of the financial year resulting from two franchise buy‑backs completed in early FY2020, the opening of one new store at the Newmarket shopping centre in Auckland, NZ, as well as the re‑opening of Shaver Shop’s Karrinyup, WA store following the shopping centre’s redevelopment. Shaver Shop did not receive any payments under the Australian government’s JobKeeper program in FY2020. 13 DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued COVID‑19 IMPACTS AND RISK MITIGATION MEASURES INITIATED While the retail environment remains highly uncertain, after a short period of soft sales results in early to mid‑March 2020, COVID‑19 has subsequently led to increased demand for Shaver Shop’s products as consumers look for cost‑effective personal care and grooming solutions that can be used in the comfort of their home. As a result, Shaver Shop did not qualify for JobKeeper support in Australia. The Company did receive approximately $0.2 million in New Zealand under the wage subsidy program established in Q4 FY2020 as a result of the lockdowns in that region. Despite Shaver Shop’s strong financial performance in H2 FY2020, the Company implemented a number of measures to mitigate the risk of COVID‑19 on its business. These measures include, but are not limited to: • Implementing improved health and safety policies, systems and procedures in all of its locations to mitigate the risk of infection to staff and customers; • Reduced inventory holdings across its store network to improve liquidity; • Shorter store opening hours and reduced rostered hours in store to reflect changes in store and centre foot traffic; • Temporary reductions in management salaries and directors fees; • Reductions in discretionary spend wherever possible; • A $10.0 million increase in the Company’s debt facility (currently undrawn) to $30.0 million; • Continuing investments in Shaver Shop’s online and omni‑retail initiatives that support the ability to generate and fulfill online sales to customers even when stores are closed; • Steps to increase the flexibility of Shaver Shop’s online fulfilment model by establishing a new, high‑volume third‑party warehouse facility in Victoria which can be used as required with little advance notice; and • Working with suppliers to mitigate supply constraints and switch to alternative products where possible. These activities and more have led to Shaver Shop significantly improving its liquidity in Q4 FY2020, such that the business had $12.6 million in cash at 30 June 2020, with an undrawn debt facility of $30.0 million. Management believes the current financial position will provide the Company with sufficient financial strength to weather expected future impacts from COVID‑19 as well as to consider additional growth initiatives in the next 12 months. While Shaver Shop’s business has proven highly resilient to the impact of COVID‑19, as significant uncertainty continues with COVID‑19, the Directors remain vigilant to ensure steps are being taken or maintained to adequately mitigate future risks. NON‑IFRS MEASURES The Directors’ Report includes references to normalised results. 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. PRO‑FORMA RESULTS AASB 16 Leases was adopted and effective for the Group from 1 July 2019. In accordance with the new accounting standard, Shaver Shop has chosen to apply the simplified transition approach and has not restated comparative amounts in its financial statements. To assist users with analysing the financial statements between financial periods, Shaver Shop has developed pro‑forma profit and loss results which reflect the results from operations for FY2020 as if the previous lease accounting standard (AASB 117 Leases) applied for that financial period. NORMALISING ADJUSTMENT No normalisation adjustments have been made in FY2020. In H1 FY2019, Shaver Shop undertook significant due diligence in relation to a potential acquisition opportunity that was strategically aligned to Shaver Shop’s business. The acquisition did not proceed, however at the time negotiations ceased, due diligence was near completion resulting in transaction related costs of $0.99 million being expensed in FY2019. 14 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 Shaver Shop’s Statutory Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) of the Group for FY2020 was $31.3 million (FY2019: $12.5 million), an increase of 150% or $18.7 million. This is, in part, due to the adoption of the new accounting standard for leases (AASB 16) which, from 1 July 2019, recognises costs associated with operating leases as depreciation and interest. Shaver Shop has prepared reconciliations (below) to the previous lease accounting standard so that the Company’s results can be compared with prior periods on a consistent basis of accounting. Profit after income tax from continuing operations (NPAT) Add back: Net finance costs Income tax expense/(benefit) EBIT (Earnings before Interest and Tax) Depreciation and amortisation expense – property, plant, equipment & intangibles Depreciation and amortisation expense – right of use assets (AASB 16) EBITDA1 Statutory Consolidated 2020 $000 2019 $000 10,602 6,670 2,078 4,472 17,151 2,849 11,261 591 2,952 10,213 2,317 – 31,261 12,530 1 Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) is used as a measure of financial performance by excluding certain variables that affect operating profits but which may not be directly related to the underlying performance of the Group. EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity under A‑IFRS. Other companies may calculate EBITDA in a different manner to Shaver Shop. These measures have been taken from the audited financial report.

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 30 June 2020, the reduction in cash tax payable for FY2020 and each subsequent financial year arising as a result of the franchise buy‑back tax deduction is set out in the table below. (at 30 June 2020) FY2020 $000 FY2021 $000 FY2022 $000 FY2023 $000 FY2024 $000 Reduction in income tax payable 1,231 895 435 193 160 The table below compares the pro‑forma operating performance of Shaver Shop for FY2020 against the normalised results for FY2019.

The growth in sales was driven primarily by: • FY2020 like for like store sales growth of 15.3%. This sales growth was supported by online sales growth of 103.5% over the prior corresponding period. Like for like and online sales growth was strong across the first and second halves of the financial year, however there was a material increase in online and total sales in Q4 FY2020 as customers purchased DIY personal care and grooming products as a result of COVID‑19 restrictions; and • Four additional corporate stores in the network at 30 June 2020. Shaver Shop completed two franchise buy‑backs during H1 FY2020, opened a new store at the Newmarket shopping centre in Auckland, NZ and re‑opened its Karrinyup, WA store in March 2020 following its temporary closure as the centre underwent a significant redevelopment. Shaver Shop now has 123 stores across Australia and New Zealand made up of 117 corporate stores and 6 franchised stores. 17 DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued Gross profit margins were 42.6% in FY2020, in‑line with the prior corresponding period. Franchise and other revenue decreased 35.0% or $0.6 million to $1.1 million due to: • The granting of royalty relief to franchisees for the Q4 FY2020 trading period; and • Lower franchise royalties being earned following the buy‑back of the Doncaster, VIC and Hornsby, NSW franchises in early H1 FY2020. As at 30 June 2020, 6 franchise stores operated across the store network (30 June 2019: 8). Shaver Shop’s pro‑forma total operating expenses increased 10.5% to $65.7 million, due primarily to the increase in the number of stores in the network, the full period impact of additional national support office roles as well as the 3.0% annual wage increase required under the General Retail Industry Award as well as higher distribution costs associated with the growth in online sales. This increase in operating expenses was offset by the following operating expense reductions in Q4 FY2020 that were taken to mitigate risk associated with COVID‑19: rent relief provided by landlords in Q4 FY2020; lower store rosters as store and centre hours were reduced; and deliberate reductions in marketing expenditure. Overall, Shaver Shop’s costs of doing business as a percentage of total sales decreased 180 basis points to 33.7% in FY2020 (FY2019 – 35.5%). Shaver Shop’s pro‑forma EBITDA increased 36.0% to $18.4 million compared to normalised EBITDA of $13.5 million generated in the prior corresponding period. The increase in pro‑forma EBITDA is due to: • The growth in sales referred to above; • Operating leverage realised across marketing expenditure with higher returns on investment generated through increased use of online and digital marketing activities, together with reduced corporate store employment costs as a percentage of store sales; • The impact of expenditure reductions in Q4 FY2020 as outlined above; and • Partially offset by higher national support office roles and operating expenses (for example delivery costs) to support the growth in the Company’s online sales. Pro‑forma depreciation and amortisation expense increased $0.5 million to $2.8 million in FY2020 (FY2019 – $2.3 million) due to: • The completion of 15 full store refits and relocations across the corporate store network since 1 July 2018 including 9 full store refits completed in FY2020; and • The launch of Shaver Shop’s customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning platforms in H1 FY2020 together with continued investment in Shaver Shop’s website and related technology applications. Shaver Shop generated pro‑forma net profit after tax of $10.6 million in FY2020 representing an increase of 44.6% on the normalised net profit after tax of $7.4 million generated in the prior corresponding period. After adjusting for the tax benefit associated with franchise buybacks, Shaver Shop’s normalised Cash EPS was 9.7 cents per share (FY2019 – 7.4 cents), an increase of 31.1% over the prior corresponding year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT In June 2020, Shaver Shop refinanced its existing bank facilities and established a new $30.0 million debt facility with a $1.0 million facility to support bank guarantees. The new facility has a term of two years, expiring on 30 June 2022. At 30 June 2020, Shaver Shop had not drawn any debt under the facility (FY2019 – $10.3 million) and had net cash at bank of $12.6 million (FY2019 – net debt $6.4 million). The significant improvement in liquidity in FY2020 is due to the strong earnings performance of Shaver Shop together with the deliberate decision to convert stock holdings into cash to mitigate risk associated with the impact of COVID‑19. Shaver Shop will continue to prudently manage stock levels across its store network. The Company’s debt facility has three key covenants: the leverage ratio (Gross Debt/EBITDA); 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 FY2020. 18 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 STRATEGY Shaver Shop offers customers a wide range of quality brands, at competitive prices, supported by excellent staff product knowledge and customer service. Shaver Shop seeks to identify consumer trends and works closely with major manufacturers and suppliers to source products to cater for these changing personal grooming and beauty trends. DIFFERENTIATION IN THE MARKET With more than 30 years of dedicated experience in its core hair removal product categories, Shaver Shop believes it is the only significant pure‑play specialty 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 Organic growth both online and in‑store (omni retail 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 its omni‑retail capabilities (across both online channels and in‑store) which continue to grow strongly as well as establishing a customer experience program to attract and support returning customers. Shaver Shop is also undertaking a deliberate store refit strategy to refresh the look and feel of several of its key stores. Continued product innovation Shaver Shop benefits as consumer beauty and grooming trends evolve and require new and changing tools to help customers get their desired look. 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. Store rollout Shaver Shop aims to grow total store network numbers across Australia and New Zealand to approximately 130‑135 within the next three years. One new store was opened in FY2020 together with the re‑opening of our Karrinyup store which was temporarily closed while the centre underwent a significant redevelopment. Shaver Shop continues to apply prudence to new store openings given the variability in foot traffic at shopping centres experienced over the last 24 months as well as consumer trends to continue purchasing through online channels. Subject to the forecast financial returns meeting appropriate hurdle rates, the Company expects to open these additional stores in Australia and New Zealand. Shaver Shop also intends to evaluate opportunities to expand into international markets through both online and in‑store channels. Franchise store buy backs Shaver Shop plans to continue its disciplined approach to buying back franchise stores, with transactions to be assessed as they become available. As at 30 June 2020, there were 6 (FY2019 – 8) franchise stores within the Shaver Shop network owned by one franchisee group. NZ business growth Shaver Shop opened its first three New Zealand stores in mid‑2014. Since that time, the New Zealand network has grown to seven locations across both the north and south islands. With recent in‑store and online improvements together with increased brand awareness and recognition in New Zealand, the business has now reached sufficient critical mass to drive economies of scale and profitability. Shaver Shop expects to drive further growth in New Zealand through the opening of additional stores as well as ongoing improvements in its omni‑retail offering. The recent success of the New Zealand operation also provides additional confidence to evaluate additional regions for international expansion. 19 DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued 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: 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 and New Zealand. Australian and New Zealand economic conditions may worsen, including as a result of the impact of COVID‑19, the 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. COVID‑19 RELATED IMPACTS COVID‑19 voluntary and legislated restrictions may impact Shaver Shop’s ability to trade for an extended period in some or all of its locations for a period of time. It may also impact Shaver Shop’s ability to fulfil online orders to customers. While Shaver Shop would take steps to reduce the financial and operational effects of COVID‑19 including seeking government support (where applicable), Shaver Shop’s profitability, liquidity and financial position may be negatively impacted by the prolonged closure of its stores. 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. 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 in overseas markets, this could have an influence on local demand for Shaver Shop’s products. Conversely, if the price for Shaver Shop’s products is significantly lower than the comparable price for the same product overseas, this could increase demand and sales of Shaver Shop products. Should suppliers increase (decrease) prices to create global wholesale price parity, this could materially increase (decrease) 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 FY2020, the contribution of sales for the first half to total sales for the full year was approximately 55.2% (FY2019 – 57.6%). 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 materially 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/or a failure of Shaver Shop to correctly judge the change in consumer preferences, or poor quantification of purchases for related product may have an adverse impact in the demand for Shaver Shop’s products or the gross margins achieved on these products. 20 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 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 its product categories. 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 (INCLUDING DUE TO COVID‑19) Shaver Shop’s products are sourced from third party suppliers of major hair removal, hair care, personal care and other shaving brands. In FY2020, approximately 93% (FY2019 – 92%) of Shaver Shop’s total network sales came from products sourced from its top ten suppliers. Shaver Shop’s largest supplier constitutes approximately 27% (FY2019 – 28%) of all sales, with the next two largest suppliers contributing approximately 22% (FY2019 – 20%) and 18% (FY2019 – 20%) of total sales. Whilst 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 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. BREACH OF INDUSTRIAL PRACTICES Shaver Shop, like all retailers, is exposed to industrial relations risk that can impact the reputation and financial performance of its business. The Company has governance programs in place to mitigate this risk including remuneration oversight, training, policies and procedures. CYBER & INFORMATION SECURITY Shaver Shop, like most retailers, relies heavily on technology for the operation of both its stores as well as its online sales channels. The rapid changes in technology and data management, creates challenges for all companies to maintain a robust and resilient technology network as well as a strong cyber security program. Shaver Shop has implemented strategies and systems with the aim of protecting against deliberate exploitation of computer systems, data and networks by internal and external parties. Cyber security is constantly evolving and is a significant risk to all retailers and Shaver Shop will need to maintain vigilance and adopt appropriate responses to protect its information assets. 21 DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS Except as otherwise described in this report, there have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the entities in the Group during the year. MATTERS OR CIRCUMSTANCES ARISING AFTER THE END OF THE YEAR Subsequent to year end, the Directors declared a fully‑franked final dividend of 2.7 cents per share to shareholders of record on 10 September 2020. The dividend payment date is 24 September 2020. In early August 2020, in accordance with Stage 4 restrictions implemented by the Victorian state government, Shaver Shop closed all 26 of its stores located in metropolitan Melbourne, Victoria. Shaver Shop is currently fulfilling online orders only from most of these stores on significantly reduced employment rosters. 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 Shaver Shop’s total sales for the first seven weeks of FY2021 (1 July through 18 August 2020) have increased 27.5% on the same period last year supported by online sales increasing 187%. The rate of sales growth in the first 2 weeks of August has moderated slightly due to the closure of 26 stores in metropolitan Melbourne following the Victorian government’s announcement of Stage 4 restrictions as well as the closure of 4 stores in Auckland, NZ after the government’s reintroduction of Stage 3 restrictions. Online sales growth has remained strong in both these regions with stores being able to fulfill these orders. While the Company is pleased with the strong start to FY2021, the impact of COVID‑19 continues to create significant uncertainty, and accordingly Shaver Shop is not providing FY2021 sales or earnings guidance at this time. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES The Group’s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulations under a law of the Commonwealth or of a state or territory of Australia. NON‑AUDIT SERVICES The Board of Directors, in accordance with advice from the audit committee, are satisfied that the provision of non‑audit services during the year are compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are satisfied that the services disclosed below did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following reasons: • All non‑audit services are reviewed and approved by the audit committee prior to commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and • Nature of the services provided do not compromise the general principles relating to auditor independence in accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants set by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board. Details of the amounts paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers for audit and non‑audit services during the year are set out in Note 28 to the audited financial statements. 22 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION The lead auditor’s independence declaration for the year ended 30 June 2020 has been received and can be found on page 38 of the consolidated financial report. SHARES UNDER OPTION There have been no unissued shares or interests under option in the Company or a controlled entity during or since reporting date. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS During the financial year, the Company paid an insurance premium to insure the directors and senior management of the Company and its subsidiaries. The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of entities in the group, and, any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings. This does not include such liabilities that arise from conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the Company. The terms of the insurance policies prohibit disclosure of the details of the premium paid. PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF COMPANY No person has applied for leave of court under Section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings. 23 DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) The Board of Directors of Shaver Shop Group Limited present the Remuneration Report for the Company for the reporting period of 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020. This Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report and has been audited in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. Our remuneration report for the 2019 financial year received positive shareholder support at the 2019 AGM, with 99.4% of votes in favour of adoption. (A) SUMMARY Group financial and operational performance Shaver Shop delivered record financial performance for shareholders in FY2020 evidenced by: • Sales growth of 16.4% to $194.9 million supported by exceptional online sales growth of 103.5%; • Cost management leading to operating expenses as a percentage of sales declining; • Strong working capital management leading to strong operating cash flow; • Continuing strong customer service metrics; and • Comparable net profit of $10.6 million up 44.6% on FY2019. Importantly, Shaver Shop did not receive any financial support in FY2020 under the Australian government’s JobKeeper program. Short‑term incentive (STI) The Company’s very strong financial performance in FY2020 resulted in the maximum STI performance hurdles being exceeded for the Company. As a result, STIs commensurate with this financial performance were granted to the Key Management Personnel (KMP). Long‑term incentive (LTI) The FY2017 LTI grant reached the end of its performance and tenure hurdles on 30 June 2020. Only 13.2% of the Tranche 1 shares (or 47,656 shares) were able to be vested with the KMP in FY2020. Tranche 2 of the FY2018 LTI grant reached the end of its two‑year performance period on 30 June 2019. The minimum EPS and TSR hurdles were not met for this Tranche and accordingly 100% of the Tranche 2 shares (383,333 shares) for Senior Executives were forfeited. Tranche 3 of the FY2018 LTI grant reached the end of its three‑year performance period on 30 June 2020. The Company’s EPS CAGR was 6.2% for this performance period and accordingly 26.6% of the EPS Tranche 3 shares will vest with senior executives subject to the service condition being met (30 June 2021). The determination of the TSR CAGR for this tranche is unable to be calculated at the time of writing this report as it is based on the 5 day volume weighted average price of Shaver Shop’s shares in the 5 days after release of the FY2020 financial results. The shares also have a service condition which requires LTI participants to have continuous tenure through 30 June 2021. Tranche 1 of the FY2019 LTI grant reached the end of its one‑year performance period on 30 June 2019. The Company’s EPS CAGR did not meet the minimum threshold for vesting and accordingly all Tranche 1 EPS shares (125,000 shares) for Senior Executives were forfeited in FY2020. The TSR CAGR for Tranche 1 of the FY2019 LTI grant exceeded the maximum hurdle and accordingly, subject to meeting the service condition (30 June 2021), 100% of the Tranche 2 TSR shares (291,666 shares) will vest with Senior Executives. Tranche 2 of the FY2019 LTI grant reached the end of its two‑year performance period. The EPS hurdles for Tranche 2 of the FY2019 LTI grant exceeded the maximum EPS performance hurdle, and accordingly, subject to meeting the tenure requirement (30 June 2021), 100% of the Tranche 2 EPS shares (125,000 shares) will vest with Senior Executives. The determination of the TSR CAGR for Tranche 2 of the FY2019 LTI grant is unable to be calculated at the time of writing this report as it is based on the 5 day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Shaver Shop’s shares in the 5 days after release of the FY2020 financial results. Tranche 1 of the FY2020 LTI grant reached the end of its one‑year performance period. The EPS CAGR for Tranche 1 of the FY2020 LTI grant exceeded the maximum EPS performance hurdle and accordingly, subject to the tenure requirement being met (30 June 2022), 100% of the Tranche 1 EPS shares (135,000 shares) will vest with Senior Executives. The TSR CAGR for Tranche 1 of the FY2020 LTI grant is unable to be calculated at the time of writing this report as it is based on the 5 day VWAP of Shaver Shop’s shares in the 5 days after the release of the FY2020 financial results. 24 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 (B) KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL COVERED IN THIS REPORT This report sets out the remuneration arrangements for Shaver Shop’s key management personnel (KMP) (listed in the table below) who have been KMP during the reporting period.

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 FY2020, the primary performance mechanism for determining whether Senior Executives Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) are paid, was the Company’s EBITDA versus the normalised EBITDA for FY2019. In FY2020, the Company’s comparable EBITDA (i.e. using consistent accounting standards) increased 36.0% leading to the maximum available STIP being paid to each Senior Executive. The Board believes the STIP 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), in FY2020 Shaver Shop issued 2,300,000 shares to participants in the LTIP. LTIP share allocations are subject to Service, Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Earnings Per Share (EPS) vesting conditions over one, two and three year performance periods which are outlined in further detail below. The Company also offered offsetting limited recourse loans 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. 25 DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued (D) RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REMUNERATION POLICY AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE The performance criteria and targets for Executives to realise benefits under both the Company’s STIP and LTIP are aligned to company performance and enhancing shareholder value. The nomination and remuneration committee considers both the statutory and normalised results for the business in evaluating performance against key metrics. A summary of the normalised results for Shaver Shop is included in the Directors’ Report. The following table provides a summary of the Company’s statutory financial performance from FY2016 to FY2020 as well as FY2020’s results on a comparable accountant standard basis with period years. The results for FY2016 were prior the Shaver Shop’s Initial Public Offering on 1 July 2016. Statutory FY2020 Result $000 Comparable FY2020 Result $000 Statutory FY2019 Result $000 Statutory FY2018 Result $000 Statutory FY2017 Result $000 Statutory FY2016 Result $000 194,924 194,924 167,437 154,937 142,568 106,711 31,261 10,602 8.7 5,659 4.6 $0.70 18,381 10,641 8.7 5,659 4.6 $0.70 12,530 6,670 5.5 5,399 4.4 $0.42 12,170 6,555 5.3 5,252 4.2 $0.45 14,870 8,994 7.2 2,001 1.6 $0.64 7,461 3,854 4.6 18,175 21.6 N/A Revenue EBITDA Net profit after tax Basic earnings per share (cents) Dividends declared Dividends per share declared (cents) Year end share price ($) For the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the Company’s comparable EBITDA increased by 36.0% to $18.4 million and in doing so, significantly exceeded the Company’s internal targets for FY2020 (on a normalised basis) as well as the FY2019 normalised EBITDA result of $13.5 million. As a consequence, the Board determined that the maximum STIP award was appropriate for Senior Executives. % of Maximum STI Awarded vs Normalised EBITDA The graph below illustrates the percentage of the maximum available STI that was awarded to Senior Executives for each financial year (since listing on the ASX) versus the normalised EBITDA for the Company. 14.9 13.2 13.5 18.4 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 d e d r a w A I T S x a M f o % FY17 FY18 FY19 FY20 Normalised EBITDA % of Max STI Award s n o i l l i m A $ 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 26 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan Outcomes for FY2020 In each grant year, under the terms of the LTI Plan, shares are issued to participants that have three tranches. The tranches have one year, two year and three year performance periods. For each tranche, 70% of the shares issued are subject to TSR performance hurdles and 30% are subject to EPS performance hurdles. With the exception of the FY2017 grant, the base share price used for calculating the TSR performance hurdle is equivalent to the 5 day VWAP immediately prior to the Grant Date. The ending share price for the TSR performance hurdle is calculated using the 5 day volume weighted average share price (VWAP) of Shaver Shop’s shares following the release of the Company’s results for the relevant performance period. As a result, the VWAP of the Company’s shares for performance periods ending on 30 June 2020 is not known at the time of writing this report and therefore no vesting has been assumed for shares with TSR performance hurdles ending in FY2020. TSR vesting is shown below for performance periods ending prior to FY2020.

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 support office location as well as year round training provided across the country. 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: (i) Simplicity: We seek to ensure remuneration arrangements are simple, and can be easily understood by both the Senior Executives and other key stakeholders. (ii) 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. (iii) 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. (iv) 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. (v) 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. (vi) 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. (vii) 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. (F) 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. 28 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 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. (G) 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; and 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. Element Purpose Fixed Remuneration Provide competitive market salary including super Metrics NIL STI (Cash bonus) Reward superior performance in year EBITDA/NPAT growth over the prior year LTI (Loan Share Plan) Reward superior long term value creation TSR – 70% EPS growth – 30% Potential Value Based on market competitive rates $400,000 Dependent on NPAT, dividends paid and share price performance The mix of fixed and at risk components of each of the Senior Executives as a percentage of total target remuneration for FY2020 was as follows: Senior Executive Cameron Fox Lawrence Hamson Philip Tine Fixed Remuneration Fixed Remuneration At Risk STI Maximum Opportunity At Risk LTI Maximum Opportunity 68% 76% 73% 25% 19% 22% 7% 5% 5% Senior Executive base salaries include a fixed component of base salary together with employer superannuation contributions that are in line with statutory obligations. The fixed remuneration component also includes car allowances and other benefits. The fixed remuneration component for Senior Executives is based on market data for comparative companies of the same size and complexity as well as having regard to the experience and expertise of the Senior Executive. Fixed remuneration for executives is reviewed annually to provide competitiveness with the market, whilst also taking into account capability, experience value to the organisation and performance of the individual. There is no guaranteed salary increase in any Senior Executive service contract. 29 DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued Short Term Incentives (STI) Following the omni‑retail and operational platform investments made in prior years, Shaver Shop delivered substantial sales and earnings growth in FY2020 as these investments began to drive strong returns. Shaver Shop also benefited from increased demand for its personal grooming products in Q4 FY2020 as a result of COVID‑19. The STI earnings targets for FY2020 were exceeded by a considerable margin leading the Senior Executives being awarded the maximum possible award under the STI program for the year. Senior Executive Cameron Fox Lawrence Hamson Philip Tine Target STI ($) Actual STI Awarded ($) Awarded STI as % of Maximum STI % of Maximum STI Award Forfeited $200,000 $200,000 $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 100% 100% 100% 0% 0% 0% 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 a normalised EBITDA target 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. For FY2021, having regard to the uncertainty and impact of COVID‑19 on its FY2020 and FY2021 results, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has set H1, H2 and full year percentage growth targets on FY2020 NPAT for the purpose of determining STI awards. One third of the Senior Executive’s STIP is subject to H1, H2 and full year NPAT growth hurdles, respectively. Long Term Incentives (LTI) Shaver Shop established an LTIP to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of Shaver Shop executives. The LTIP is designed to align the interests of executives more closely with the interests of Shareholders by providing an opportunity for eligible executives to acquire Shares subject to the conditions of the LTIP (Plan Shares). The Plan Shares are issued or transferred to participants in the LTIP at market value based on the volume weighted average price of the shares in the five days up to and including the date of grant. Under the terms of the LTIP, the Company, or one of its subsidiaries, may provide a limited recourse loan to executives who are invited to participate in the LTIP to assist them to purchase Plan Shares (Loan). Each Loan will be limited recourse such that a participant’s obligation to repay the Loan will be the lesser of the Loan balance or the relevant Plan Share’s market value. Under the LTIP rules, the Company will retain discretion to waive repayment of all, or part of, any Loan. The after‑tax value of any dividends paid on the Plan Shares acquired under a Loan will be applied to repay the relevant Loan. The grant of Plan shares is accounted for as an option with the loan value representing the strike price of the instrument. Each year’s LTIP share grant is split into three equal share tranches which relate to 1 year, 2 year and 3 year performance periods. 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. Unless as determined otherwise by the Board of Shaver Shop, 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 following page summarises the key terms of each LTI share grant over the last four financial years. 30 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 Total LTI shares granted LTI shares granted to KMP Grant Date Issue price % of grant with TSR hurdle % of grant with EPS hurdle Tranche 1 performance period Tranche 2 performance period Tranche 3 performance period TSR Vesting CAGR (%) Hurdle applicable to each performance period EPS Vesting CAGR (%) hurdle applicable to each performance period FY2020 LTI Grant 2,300,000 FY2019 LTI Grant 1,990,000 FY2018 LTI Grant 1,910,000 FY2017 LTI Grant 1,300,000 1,350,000 1,250,000 1,150,000 1,075,000 30 Oct 2019 21 Nov 2018 26 Oct 2017 22 Jun 2017 $0.6344 $0.3969 $0.6829 $0.5899 70% 30% 70% 30% 70% 30% 70% 30% 1 July 19 to 30 Jun 20 1 Jul 18 to 30 Jun 19 1 Jul 17 to 30 Jun 18 1 Jul 16 to 30 Jun 17 1 July 19 to 30 Jun 21 1 Jul 18 to 30 Jun 20 1 July 17 to 30 Jun 19 1 Jul 16 to 30 Jun 18 1 July 19 to 30 Jun 22 1 Jul 18 to 30 Jun 21 1 July 17 to 30 Jun 20 1 Jul 16 to 30 Jun 19 Under 10% – NIL Under 10% – NIL Under 10% – NIL Under 15% – Nil 10‑25% – pro‑rata vesting from 20% to 100% 10‑25% – pro‑rata vesting from 20% to 100% 10‑25% – pro‑rata vesting from 20% to 100% Above 25% – 100% Above 25% – 100% Above 25% – 100% 15‑20% – pro‑rata vesting from 20% to 40% 20‑25% – pro‑rata vesting from 40% to 70% 25‑30% – pro‑rata vesting from 70% to 100% Above 30% – 100% Under 5% – NIL Under 5% – NIL Under 5% – NIL Under 15% – Nil 5‑20% – pro‑rata vesting from 20% to 100% 5‑20% – pro‑rata vesting from 20% to 100% 5‑20% – pro‑rata vesting from 20% to 100% Above 20% – 100% Above 20% – 100% Above 20% – 100% 15‑20% – pro‑rata vesting from 20% to 40% 20‑25% – pro‑rata vesting from 40% to 70% 25‑30% – pro‑rata vesting from 70 to 100% Above 30% – 100% Trance 1 & 2 Service Condition Tranche 3 Service Condition Expiry date 30 June 22 30 June 21 30 Jun 20 30 Jun 19 30 June 23 30 Jun 22 30 Jun 21 30 Jun 20 None, however the latest loan repayment date is 7 years after the grant date.

The hurdles are 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 is 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. With exception of the FY2017 LTI Grant, the starting point for the TSR performance hurdle is the 5 day volume weighted average price (VWAP) per share immediately prior to the grant date. For the FY2017 Grant, the starting point for the TSR hurdle is the IPO issue price of $1.05 per share. With exception of the FY2017 LTI Grant, the TSR performance period concludes based on the 5 day VWAP of the Company’s shares following the relevant performance period’s full year results announcement. For the FY2017 LTI Grant, the TSR performance period concludes based on the 5 day VWAP of the Company’s shares prior to 30 June each year. 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 conditions, 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. 32 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 The table below sets out the number of Plan Shares offered to the relevant Senior Executives, including details of the number of Plan Shares per tranche for each Senior Executive for LTI Plan grants between FY2017 and FY2020.

The determination of the TSR performance condition for Tranche 1 of the FY2020 LTIP allocation, Tranche 2 of the FY2019 LTIP allocation and Tranche 3 of the FY2018 LTIP allocation is based on the 5 day VWAP of the Company’s shares following the release of Shaver Shop’s FY2020 results and therefore it cannot be determined whether this vesting condition will be met at the date of this report. (H) 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. In late March 2020, in light of the significant uncertainty as to how the COVID‑19 pandemic might impact the Company, the Board and Senior Executives of Shaver Shop agreed to a 20% reduction in their fixed remuneration during the months of April and May 2020. Having regard to the strong financial performance of Shaver Shop in April and May 2020, the Board and Senior Executives of Shaver Shop reverted to their normal fixed remuneration in June 2020. For FY2020, the annual base Non‑Executive Director fees currently agreed to be paid by the Company are $140,000 (FY2019 – $140,000) to the Chairman of the Board (Broderick Arnhold), $80,000 (FY2019 – $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 (FY2019 – $70,000) to Brian Singer.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020 1 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. These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS These financial statements and associated notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Each of the entities within the Group prepare their financial statements based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 24 August 2020. Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated. (A) NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP AASB 16 – Leases was introduced during the year and became effective from 1 July 2019. In accordance with the transitional provisions for the new standard, the Group has chosen to not restate comparative figures. The impact of the adoption of the leasing standard and the new accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 below. 2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving significant estimates or judgements are estimates of goodwill impairment, refer to Note 15, and net realisable value of inventory, refer to Note 12. 3 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the Group’s financial statements and also discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 July 2019, where they are different to those applied in prior periods. The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the year ended 30 June 2019, as permitted under the modified retrospective transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and adjustments arising from the new standard are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019. (A) ADJUSTMENTS RECOGNISED ON ADOPTION OF AASB 16 On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB 117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 5.0%. Where the Group is the lessee under a property head lease and sublets the property to a third party franchisee, the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate was applied to recognise the associated lease liability as at 1 July 2019. The Group has also recognised the associated lease receivable from the sublessee. No right‑of‑use asset has been recognised where a sublease arrangement exists as the asset has been transferred to the sublessee by virtue of the sublease. 43 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued 3 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (i) Practical expedients applied In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard: • Applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics; • Relying on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as an alternative to performing a impairment review – there were no onerous contracts as at 1 July 2019; • Excluding low value leases; • Applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics; • Excluding initial direct costs for the measurement of the right‑of‑use‑asset at the date of initial application; and • Using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date, the group relied on its assessment made applying AASB 117 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. (ii) Measurement of lease liabilities Cash operating lease commitments as at 30 June 2019 Discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application Add: Franchise leases recognised as lease liabilities Lease liability recognised as at 1 July 2019 Of which are: Current lease liabilities Non‑current lease liabilities Total lease liability recognised as at 1 July 2019 (iii) Measurement of right‑of‑use assets $ 37,238,372 (2,772,122) 3,171,705 37,637,955 10,530,222 27,107,733 37,637,955 The associated right‑of‑use assets for property leases were measured on a retrospective basis as if the new rules had always been applied. The recognised right‑of‑use assets relate to the following types of assets: Properties Total right‑of‑use assets 30 June 2020 $ 1 July 2019 $ 26,632,491 29,064,363 26,632,491 29,064,363 44 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 (iv) Adjustments recognised in the balance sheet on 1 July  2019 The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the balance sheet on 1 July 2019: Assets Lease receivables Right‑of‑use assets Deferred tax assets Liabilities Lease liabilities – AASB 16 Deferred lease incentive liability – AASB 117 Deferred rent liability – AASB 117 Equity Retained earnings $ 3,171,705 29,064,363 520,979 37,637,955 (2,450,892) (1,215,515) (1,213,717) (B) ADJUSTMENTS RECOGNISED ON ADOPTION OF AASB 16 The Group leases retail sites for its corporate and franchise store locations across Australia and New Zealand. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 2‑7 years and in limited situations contain an option to renew at the end of the initial term. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis. Until 1 July 2019, leases for retail sites were treated as operating leases in accordance with AASB 117. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight‑line basis over the period of the lease. From 1 July  2019, leases are recognised as a right‑of‑use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to 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 right‑of‑use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight‑line basis. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: • Fixed payments (including in‑substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; • Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; • Amounts expected to be payable by the group under residual value guarantees; • The exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and • Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising that option. As a practical expedient, AASB 16 permits a lessee not to separate non‑lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non‑lease components as a single arrangement. The Group has elected to apply this practical expedient. In line with accounting standard guidance, where leases have a fixed escalation rate, the fixed rate has been applied when accounting for the lease payments. No rate has been applied to leases that increase at the rate of CPI or leases that have a variable escalation rate. Right‑of‑use assets are measured at cost comprising the initial measurement of the lease liability and other components as required under AASB 16. Payments associated with leases of low‑value assets are recognised on a straight‑line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Low‑value assets comprise IT equipment and small office related items. 45 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued 3 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued The Group holds the head lease for all franchise and corporate stores. Franchise store sites are sublet by the Group to the respective franchisee. The present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate is applied to recognise the associated lease liability to recognise the Group’s obligation under the head lease. The Group also recognises an associated lease receivable from the franchisee which represents the present value of the remaining lease payments from the franchisee. No right‑of‑use asset is recognised where a sublease arrangement exists as the asset has been transferred to the franchisee by virtue of the sublease arrangement. 4 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 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period there 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 29 to the financial statements. (B) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET MANDATORY OR EARLY ADOPTED Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2020 reporting period and have not been adopted early by the Group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods or on foreseeable future transactions. (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. 46 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 (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 operating segment, being retail store sales of a variety of specialist personal grooming products through their corporate stores and royalty income from franchise stores. (E) 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. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. This is generally in store when the customer purchases the goods or services or on delivery in the case of online sales. Revenue is recognised for the major business activities using the methods outlined below: Sale of goods The Group operates a chain of retail stores selling personal grooming products. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at a point in time when a Group entity sells a product to the customer. Payment of the transaction price is due immediately when the customer purchases the product and takes delivery in store. It is the Group’s policy to sell its products to the end customer with a right of return within 21 days. Therefore, a refund liability (included in trade and other payables) and a right to the returned goods (included in other current assets) are recognised for the products expected to be returned. Accumulated experience is used to estimate such returns at the time of sale at a portfolio level (expected value method). Because the number of products returned has been relatively steady for a number of years, it is not considered probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognised will occur. The validity of this assumption and the estimated amount of returns are reassessed at each reporting date. Interest income Interest is recognised using the effective interest method, which, for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the financial instrument. Franchise royalty fee income Franchise royalty fee income includes advertising contributions and is recognised at a point in time when a franchisee sells a product to a customer. It is based upon a percentage of franchisee sales and is recognised on an accrual basis. 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued 4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (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 the initial recognition. On that basis, deferred tax liabilities have been recognised in the year for additions to goodwill in respect of franchise buyback activities, to the extent that they are deductible in calculating the current tax expense in the year. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount of tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income 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 The Group’s accounting policies relating to leases are discussed in Note 3. (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. 48 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight‑line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter of the lease term and the assets’ useful life as follows: Fixed asset class Plant and Equipment Computer Equipment Leasehold Improvements 2–12 years 1–7 years 10 years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying value is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying value is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the 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 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. Software Software assets have finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method and is based on the expected useful life of the software asset. 49 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued 4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (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. (N) FINANCIAL ASSETS Credit losses on trade receivables The Group has elected to apply the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, using the lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. A provision matrix is then determined based on the historic credit loss rate for each group, adjusted for any material expected changes to the future credit risk for that group. (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. These 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 services are recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on high‑quality corporate bond rates with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. 50 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 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’s 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 probable 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 twelve 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. 51 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued 4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (U) EARNINGS PER SHARE (i) 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. 2020 $ 2019 $ 194,924,114 167,437,468 194,924,114 167,437,468 2020 $ 2019 $ 984,294 1,594,126 54,167 13,902 1,038,461 1,608,028 17,255 15,059 1,055,716 1,623,087 5 REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME (A) REVENUE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS Sales revenue Retail sales Total Revenue (B) FRANCHISE AND OTHER REVENUE AND OTHER GAINS/(LOSSES) Franchise revenue Franchise royalties Franchise fees Other revenue Other revenue Total franchise and other revenue 52 6 EXPENSES The result for the year includes the following specific expenses: Finance costs Interest and finance charges – borrowings Interest and finance charges – leases Interest income – franchise leases Interest income Finance Costs Depreciation and amortisation Intangible assets Property, plant & equipment Right‑of‑use assets Depreciation and amortisation expense Rental expense relating to operating leases Minimum lease payments Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 2020 $ 2019 $ 417,460 645,661 1,804,351 (129,610) – – (14,286) (54,330) 2,077,915 591,331 689,848 361,218 2,159,026 1,955,310 11,260,653 – 14,109,528 2,316,528 – 12,317,981 53 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued 7 INCOME TAX EXPENSE (A) THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF TAX EXPENSE (INCOME) COMPRISE: Current tax expense Current tax on profits for the year Deferred tax expense Movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities Income tax expense relating to continuing operations (B) RECONCILIATION OF INCOME TAX TO ACCOUNTING PROFIT: Profit from continuing operations before income tax expense Tax at the Australian tax rate of 30% (2019 – 30%) Add: Tax effect of: – Other non deductible items (Less)/Add: Tax effect of: – Other Income tax attributable to parent entity Income tax expense Franchise Buy‑Backs 2020 $ 2019 $ 3,389,305 1,318,602 1,082,222 1,633,671 4,471,527 2,952,273 2020 $ 2019 $ 15,073,212 9,621,877 4,521,963 2,886,563 118,606 19,286 4,640,569 2,905,849 (169,042) 46,424 4,471,527 2,952,273 4,471,527 2,952,273 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. 54 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 8 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS The Company acquired one franchise store on 2 July 2019 and one on 5 August 2019 for a total purchase consideration of $2,912,707. The acquisitions are expected to increase the Group’s retail sales and synergies are expected to arise after the Company’s acquisition of the stores. Details of the purchase consideration, the net assets acquired and the resulting goodwill are as follows: Purchase consideration: – Cash Assets or liabilities acquired: Inventories Payables Deferred tax assets Total net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed Goodwill Total $ 2,912,707 255,925 (13,218) 801,000 1,043,797 1,869,000 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 the 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 acquisition date amounted to $2.9 million. Had the results of the acquired franchise stores been consolidated from 1 July 2019, additional revenue of the Group would have been $0.1 million for the year ended 30 June 2020. Acquisition related costs for the franchise buy‑backs were not material and are included in other expenses in the profit and loss statement. 9 OPERATING SEGMENTS SEGMENT INFORMATION The Group operates within one operating 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. Total revenue disclosed in the consolidated statement of comprehensive profit and loss all relates to this one operating segment. The Group is not reliant on any single customer. At 30 June 2020, the Group operated 110 Corporate Stores in Australia (2019: 107) and 7 Corporate Stores in New Zealand (2019: 6). 55 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued 10 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash at bank and on hand 11 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES CURRENT Trade receivables Prepayments Accrued income Related party receivables Other receivables Total current trade and other receivables 2020 $ 2019 $ 12,628,517 3,942,085 Note 2020 $ 2019 $ 32(c) 990,528 1,379,898 425,799 332,228 – 250,000 81,377 191,160 81,377 84,063 1,688,864 2,127,566 The carrying value of trade receivables is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short‑term nature of the balances.

Amounts recognised in expenses relating to write‑downs of stock in FY2020 amounted to $746,278. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES – REALISABLE VALUE OF INVENTORY Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of inventories are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Determining the net realisable value of inventories relies on key assumptions that require the use of management judgement. These key assumptions are the variables affecting the expected selling price and are reviewed at least annually. Any reassessment of the selling price in a particular year will affect the cost of goods sold. 56 13 LEASES Lease receivables Lease receivables – current Lease receivables – non‑current Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 2020 $ 2019 $ 847,615 1,379,919 2,227,534 – – – The Group holds the head lease for all corporate and franchise stores.

Leases are entered into for varying terms and rent reviews are based on CPI increases or fixed increases. A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of the lease at the present value of lease payments to be made over the term of the lease. The leases generally do not have renewal options. Right‑of‑use assets Right‑of‑use assets are measured at cost at commencement of the lease and depreciated on a straight‑line basis over the effective life of the asset.

Significant estimate: key assumptions used for value‑in‑use calculations The Group performed its annual impairment testing as at 30 June 2020. 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 CGU 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% (2019: 2.5%). The pre‑tax discount rate applied to cash flow projected is 12.4% (2019: 13.1%). The value in use calculation is most sensitive to the following key assumptions: gross margin, growth rate and 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 42.7% (2019: 42.9%) based on average gross margins achieved historically together with expectations of the future. Growth rate: Sales growth rates are based on management’s best estimates of anticipated growth (based on industry and company considerations) 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% (2019: 2.5%) and the same store sales growth rate used for the five year forecast period is 3.0% (2019: 3.0%). 60 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 Discount rate: The discount rate is specific to the Group’s circumstances and is derived from its 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 risk free interest rate as well as a margin that takes into consideration both industry and company specific risk factors. Sensitivity analysis: Management recognises that the recoverable amount of goodwill is sensitive to the assumptions used in the model. Using the assumption outlined above, the surplus of the recoverable amount over the carrying value of goodwill at 30 June 2020 is $137.4 million. If all of the following scenarios happen together, the recoverable amount of the CGU would equal its carrying amount: the five year forecasted growth rate decreased from 3.0% to 1.0%, the growth rate in the terminal year decreased from 2.5% to 2.0% and operating expenses increased at 3.0% versus expected CPI growth of 2.5%. The Group believes the assumptions adopted in the value in use calculations reflect an appropriate balance between the Group’s experience to date and the uncertainties associated with the COVID‑19 pandemic. Whilst temporary store closures resulting from Government restrictions may impact short‑term financial performance, the timing and nature of these closures is not expected to impact the Group financial results in the long‑term. 16 TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES CURRENT Unsecured liabilities GST payable Dividend accrued Payroll related accruals Other creditors and accruals 2020 $ 2019 $ 11,287,436 14,723,881 707,652 711,652 2,595,878 – 1,730,812 1,183,323 1,646,341 539,118 17,968,119 17,157,974 All amounts are short term and the carrying values are considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value. 17 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Current liabilities Provision for employee benefits 2020 $ 2019 $ 1,853,567 1,410,857 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 twelve months. The following amounts reflect leave that is not expected to be taken or paid within the next twelve months.

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. 63 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued 20 ISSUED CAPITAL continued (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. 21 DIVIDENDS The following dividends were declared and paid: 80% franked FY2019 final dividend of 2.5 cents per share (2019: 2.4 cents per share, fully franked) 2020 $ 2019 $ 3,062,742 2,941,843 80% franked FY2020 interim dividend of 2.1 cents per share – subsequently cancelled due to COVID‑19 (2019: 2.0 cents per share, fully franked) – 2,457,470 The following dividend was declared but remained unpaid at 30 June 2020: 80% franked FY2020 special dividend of 2.1 cents per share (2019: nil) paid on 16 July 2020 2,595,878 – Total dividends per share declared Franking account 2020 $ 2019 $ 0.046 0.044 The franking credits available for subsequent financial years at a tax rate of 30% 1,228,845 1,109,120 The above available balance is based on the dividend franking account at year‑end adjusted for: (a) Franking credits that will arise from the payment/(receipt) of the current tax liabilities/(receivable); (b) Franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the year‑end; and (c) Franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the end of the year. The ability to use the franking credits is dependent upon the Company’s future ability to declare dividends. 64 22 RESERVES Foreign currency translation reserve Opening balance Currency translation differences arising during the year Balance at 30 June Share based payments reserve Opening balance Transfers in Balance at 30 June Total Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 2020 $ 2019 $ (34,483) 6,696 24,188 (41,179) (10,295) (34,483) 434,563 370,278 173,329 64,285 607,892 434,563 597,597 400,080 (A) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION RESERVE Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognised in other comprehensive income – foreign currency translation reserve.

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. 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 a 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: Commercial advance facilities Bank guarantee facility Total 2020 $ 2019 $ 30,000,000 9,675,901 480,043 369,073 30,480,043 10,044,974 The multi‑option facility has a limit of $30.0 million and was undrawn as at 30 June 2020. In addition, Shaver Shop has access to a bank guarantee facility with a limit of $1.0 million which was drawn to $0.52 million as at 30 June 2020. The multi‑option facility has interest rates varying from BBSY +0.75% to BBSY +1.20% depending on the sub facility being utilised. 67 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued 26 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT continued (ii) Maturities of financial liabilities The Group‘s liabilities have contractual maturities which are summarised below: Not later than 1 month 1 month to 1 year 1 to 2 years Bank loans 2020 $ – Lease liabilities 1,025,632 2019 $ – – 2020 $ – 10,682,295 Trade payables 11,287,436 14,723,880 Payroll related accruals GST payable Other payables 1,746,253 1,183,323 707,652 1,630,900 711,652 539,118 – – – – Total 16,397,873 17,157,973 10,682,295 2019 $ 2020 $ 2019 $ – – – – – – – – 10,678,943 10,094,209 – – – – – – – – – 10,094,209 10,678,943 The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward. The amounts disclosed in the table are the undiscounted contracted cash flows and therefore the balances in the table may not equal the balances in the consolidated statement of financial position due to the effect of discounting. The timing of expected outflows is not expected to be materially different from contracted cashflows. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to certain customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counter parties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. In addition, sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or through the use of major credit cards, reducing credit risk associated with sales. Trade receivables consist mainly of supplier rebates and franchise royalty income owing to the Group. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable. No material impairment exists within trade receivables at year end. 68 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 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 2020 $ 2019 $ 12,628,517 3,942,085 802,831 1,162,293 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 $3.4 million at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: $5.0 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 $30,000 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.

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. In FY2019, the Company issued a further 1,990,000 shares to eligible participants. In FY2020 the Company issued 2,300,000 Plan Shares to eligible participants. The Plan Shares have been treated as equity‑settled share‑based payment transactions in the Company’s financial accounts. Details of the number of Plan Shares granted and the fair value of the Plan Shares at on the relevant Grant Date is set out below.

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 2020 varied from $0.120 per Plan Share to $0.235 per Plan Share depending on the Grant Date and the relevant vesting criteria (FY19 – $0.093 to $0.174). 76 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 The key assumptions used in the valuation models are: Financial Year 2020 2019 2018 2018 2017 Grant Date 30 Oct 19 21 Nov 18 10 Nov 17 26 Oct 17 22 June 17 Closing share price on Grant Date $0.645 $0.40 $0.50 $0.465 $0.59 Exercise price Volatility Dividend yield (Nil as used to pay off loan value) Risk free rate $0.6344 $0.3969 $0.6829 $0.6829 $0.5899 40% 45% 45% 45% 45% Nil 0.86% Nil 2.33% Nil 2.19% Nil 2.30% Nil 2.00% Total expenses arising from share based payment transactions recognised during the period as part of Employment Benefit Expense were as follows: Plan Shares issued under LTI Plan Financial Year 2020 $ 2019 $ 173,329 64,285 35 EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING DATE Subsequent to year end, the Directors declared a final dividend of 2.7 cents per share (100% franked) to shareholders of record on 10 September 2020.

Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report. We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. Materiality Audit scope Key audit matters • For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group materiality of $0.75 million, which represents approximately 5% of the Group’s profit before tax. • We applied this threshold, together with qualitative considerations, to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial report as a whole. • We chose Group profit before tax because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly measured. • We utilised a 5% threshold based on our professional judgement, noting it is within the range of commonly acceptable thresholds. • 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 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. • Amongst other relevant topics, we communicated the following key audit matters to the Risk Committee: − Carrying value of goodwill − Carrying value of inventory − Accounting for supplier rebates − Lease accounting and adoption of new accounting standard AASB 16 - Leases • These are further described in the Key audit matters section of our report. INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT continued 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. Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Carrying value of goodwill Refer to note 15 $43.9m At 30 June 2020 the Group recognised $43.9m of goodwill in the financial report. The Group assesses goodwill for impairment annually and has determined that there is one Cash Generating Unit (CGU). The carrying value of goodwill was a key audit matter due to: ● ● the financial significance of the goodwill balance; and the significant judgement involved in calculating the recoverable amount including: ○ ○ forecasting future cash flows estimating the discount rate and terminal growth rate. We performed the following procedures, amongst others: ● Evaluated whether the CGU identified by the Group was consistent with our knowledge of the Group’s operations and internal reporting. ● Assessed whether the CGU appropriately included all directly attributable assets, liabilities, corporate overheads and cash flows. ● Checked the forecast cash flows used in the Group’s impairment model were consistent with the latest budgets and business plans presented to the board. ● Evaluated the Group’s historical ability to forecast future cash flows by comparing budgets with reported actual results for the previous five years. ● With the assistance of PwC Valuation experts, evaluated the appropriateness of the discount rate by assessing the reasonableness of the relevant inputs to the calculation against industry and market factors. ● Evaluated the appropriateness of the terminal growth rate by comparison to the long-term average growth rates of the countries the Group operates in, being Australia and New Zealand. ● Tested the mathematical accuracy of the impairment model’s calculations on a sample basis. ● Comparing key assumptions within the model to external data including industry reports. ● Evaluated the adequacy and accuracy of disclosures in note 15, including those regarding the key assumptions and sensitivities to changes in such assumptions, in light of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. 82 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Carrying value of inventory Refer to note 12, $15.1m At 30 June 2020 the Group held $15.1 million of inventory in the financial report valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The identification of products expected to be sold below net realisable value depends, in part, on sales sold below cost throughout the financial period and incorporates information on known loss-making products as well as the impact of planned markdowns. The carrying value of inventory was a key audit matter due to: ● ● the financial significance of the inventory balance; and the significant judgement and estimation required in determining the net realisable value of inventory including assumptions of likely sales volumes and expected future selling prices. Accounting for supplier rebates Refer to note 11 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 depending on the specific terms agreed with each supplier in relation to the rebate rate(s) and the range of products included. The accounting for supplier rebates was a key audit matter due the magnitude of rebates received during the year, and the different terms applicable to each rebate agreement. We performed the following procedures, amongst others: ● Compared inventory balances within the inventory provision calculation to total inventory on hand to check the completeness of the assessment. ● Confirmed that the methodology applied to calculate the provision was reasonable and consistent with that applied in the prior year. ● Assessed 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. ● Tested the mathematical accuracy of the provision calculation. ● Evaluated whether the provision for inventory was adequate by assessing: o o the gross margins recognised for a sample of inventory items; and the inventory turnover ratio, including a comparison to the prior year. We performed the following procedures, amongst others: ● For rebates receivable we obtained confirmations from a sample of suppliers of the balance receivable at 30 June 2020, key rebate terms and rebates received during the year and compared them to the Group’s records. ● For a sample of rebates not subject to confirmation procedures we obtained evidence of settlement and a valid arrangement. ● Tested the mathematical accuracy of the Group’s rebate calculations. 83 INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT continued Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Lease accounting and adoption of new accounting standard AASB 16 - Leases Refer to note 3 and 13, Right of use of assets $26.6m and Lease Liabilities $36.9m The Group adopted Australian Accounting Standard AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) from 1 July 2019. The new policy and related transition impact are disclosed in Note 3. This was considered as a key audit matter due to the: ● ● significance of the impact on transition to the financial report; and the judgement involved in applying the new AASB 16 requirements to determine an incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments We performed the following procedures, amongst others: ● Assessed whether the Group’s new accounting policies are in accordance with the requirements of AASB16. ● Evaluated the process adopted by the Group to identify lease arrangements. For a sample of lease agreements, we: ● Evaluated the lease calculation against the terms of the lease agreement and the requirement of Australian Accounting Standards. ● Tested the mathematical accuracy of the lease calculations. ● Assessed the incremental borrowing rates applied to the lease calculations against the Group’s external debt borrowing rates. ● Assessed management’s considerations of the reasonableness of judgements including likelihood of renewal options and treatment of rent concessions. ● Evaluated the adequacy of the disclosure made in note 3 and 13 in light of the requirement of the Australian Accounting Standards.

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 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. 84 Shaver Shop Group Limited Annual Report 2020 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, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and use our professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take. Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material 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. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
