YEAR IN REVIEW
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
CEO'S MESSAGE
The 2022 financial year has seen most parts of the world gradually return
to a state of normalcy, however challenges still remain, reflected in the rising
inflation rate, declining consumer confidence, tightening monetary policy,
disrupted supply chain, and geopolitical instability.
Servcorp has proven, over the more
than forty years of its existence, to be a
robust business, and this remains the
circumstance today, as reflected in our
results for the 2022 financial year.
Revenue for the year was $275.6 million,
in line with last year.
Net profit before tax for the year was
$34.4 million, an increase of 12%. Net
profit after tax was $28.0 million, with
earnings per share of 28.9 cents.
During the 2022 financial year, the
business generated underlying free cash
of $57.3 million, up 17% on 2021. Cash
and investment balances at 30 June
2022 were $108.2 million, an increase of
4%; the Company has no external debt.
Having strong cash balances positions
Servcorp to capitalise on our renewed
growth strategy.
Directors have declared a final dividend
of 10.0 cents per share, unfranked. This
final dividend brings total dividends
for the 2022 financial year to 20.0 cents
per share, resulting in a payout
to shareholders of approximately
$19.4 million, an increase of 11% on 2021.
Directors expect to maintain future
dividend payments consistent with our
long-term history and commitment
to shareholders.
Due to our strong balance sheet,
cash reserves and global presence,
we were able to expand our footprint
in select markets in 2022. We have
already committed to growth in the
2023 financial year and continue
to look for further opportunities
for growth in mature markets with
proven management performance.
Although the economic outlook
globally remains uncertain, we see
the 2023 financial year as one in which
opportunities and risks co-exist.
For the 2023 financial year, our view
is that, subject to no worsening near-
term economic conditions globally,
Servcorp’s mature net profit before
non-cash impairment of assets and
tax will be between $41.0 million and
$43.0 million. In line with this guidance
and performance, we expect to produce
more than $60.0 million in underlying
free cash. These forecasts are subject to
currencies remaining constant, global
financial markets remaining stable and
the continued impacts of global economic
uncertainties on our operations.
As we emerge from the COVID-19
pandemic, flexible workspace solutions
have become more important than ever;
Servcorp has provided this capability
for four decades, and we continue
to tailor our offering to serve these
ever-evolving trends.
Despite the global challenges we are
facing, we remain positive. Servcorp
has the leading products in the industry,
a unique value proposition that truly
differentiates, global reach, technology
platform, longstanding track record,
strong cash generation and healthy net
cash position; all of which reinforce our
confidence in Servcorp’s potential to
continue to drive healthy returns for our
shareholders, and maintain our position
as the world’s premium provider of
Workspace Solutions.
On behalf of the Board, I want to
acknowledge the outstanding efforts of
our CEO, Alf Moufarrige; our leadership
group; and all the Servcorp team
members, for their dedication and
commitment during the past year, which
has continued to be very challenging
and unpredictable.
We look to the future with optimism,
and thank you, our shareholders, for
your continuing support.

STAYING PAW-SITIVE$275.6m2022 REVENUECORPORATE GOVERNANCEREMUNERATION REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOTHER INFORMATIONSERVCORP I ANNUAL REPORT 2022CEO’S MESSAGE
The lockdowns in Australia and New Zealand have had a greater adverse impact on small businesses
than the actions taken by any other government. These actions, mitigated by government subsidies,
had little real impact on the effects of the pandemic.
I must say, I admire the Japanese mask
wearing policy and lack of lockdowns
that has ensured small business,
restaurant owners, retailers and bars are
not decimated, without printing money;
the freedoms supposedly enshrined in
Australia and New Zealand were actually
practiced in Japan. The population, fully
informed, responded by individually
taking precautions, which resulted in
Japan having one of the lowest death
rates per million people than in any
other developed country.
All this while trusting the people
to make their own decisions. The
population in many countries are
being encouraged by their government
to abdicate all their decision making to
the government, which finally creates a
population with no imagination, drive
nor entrepreneurship.
In Servcorp, Australia and New Zealand
still struggles as does South East Asia
and China. North Asia and the Middle
East continue to outperform.
The USA has now been reorganised
with Servcorp remaining in: four
locations in New York, two in Chicago,
one in Washington and two in Houston.
It is now at break even for the first time.
YEAR IN REVIEW
CEO'S MESSAGE
As it dawned on us that within this
industry we are top dog, we have
recommenced expanding; Saudi Arabia –
Laysen Valley and King Abdullah Financial
Center, in Japan – Daiei, with Hibiya and
Yanmar on the way, and Lebanon is a
possibility; all from cash flow without
affecting the dividend.
We have no intention of making a cash
call, as our 20% NPBT growth on mature
floors last year and the projected 20%
NPBT growth on mature floors this year
should mean free cash will be around
$60 million. Therefore, organic growth
is a reality.
Time is now on our side. As I believe,
we are the only major business centre
operator maintaining profits.
With the experience, the IT systems,
the funds, we should be well positioned
to take advantage of the opportunities
that will inevitably arise.
MOST THINGS I KNOW
I LEARNED FROM MY DOG!
I take this opportunity to thank our
dedicated teams, and believe that we
enter the new financial year stronger
than ever.

WE ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND
ANYWHERE IN THE WORK WORLD
The world has emerged from lockdowns, and the pandemic has shown that hybrid working
is ideal for many companies, regardless of size. There is a new breed of tenants coming to
the market requiring shared workspace, seeking support, service and IT capabilities.
Since 1978, Servcorp has been the ‘best friend’ for any business, enabling our clients
to work from anywhere in the world.
Servcorp is perfectly able to continue
answering calls from clients, no matter
where they are based, and forward
them to wherever they are requested.
Call forwarding can be controlled by the
client through remote access.
Servcorp is the only Workspace
Solutions provider that has built the
support infrastructure for remote work.
We have been the incubator for many
entrepreneurs who have been working
remotely yet still conquering the world.
We are here to help you survive and
thrive in these changed times.
SERVCORP...
YOUR BEST HOPE FOR SURVIVAL
SERVCORP WILL HELP
YOU BREED SUCCESS
The past few years have changed the
way people choose to work.
Servcorp has always been better
positioned than any other operator to
provide all facilities a business needs
to operate with flexibility.
Due to the pandemic, businesses
have evolved and their requirements
for space are in a state of change.
Servcorp’s solution for those that
require flexibility and working from
home capability is a Serviced or Virtual
Office, because this allows businesses
to continue operating using our
team and technology; a dedicated
receptionist, mail management,
IT solutions, local phone number,
Onefone and many other services.
THE HISTORY
Servcorp, since its inception in 1978,
has always led the development of
workspace solutions, and has grown
organically since its IPO in 1999. At
the time of the IPO, Servcorp operated
in 8 countries with 35 floors. By June
2009, Servcorp operated in 14 countries,
with 73 floors; in 10 years Servcorp had
doubled its size.
In 2009 the global market conditions
created an opportunity to secure leases
on what was expected to be very
favourable terms. This represented an
attractive opportunity for aggressive
expansion. During October and
November 2009, Servcorp successfully
undertook an equity capital raising of
$80 million to fund a global expansion
program. During the 2010 and 2011 years
Servcorp opened a further 53 floors
and expanded into 26 new cities and
7 new countries.
At 30 June 2022, Servcorp operated
129 floors in 41 cities across 20 countries.
THE FUTURE
Demand for Coworking has surged in
the wake of the pandemic, as businesses
evolve to adopt flexible workspace
capability. Servcorp is determined to
stay ahead in this changing competitive
landscape utilising our unparalleled
technology platform, which provides the
capability to adapt to the requirements
for flexibility.
Competition may be fierce, but nobody
has the focus of Servcorp on building
the infrastructure that clients need to
succeed in the digital age.
We select only the most premium
buildings, in the most dynamic locations,
so that our clients’ business benefits
from a recognisable CBD address. The
spectacular views welcome clients and
business partners as they arrive in the
lobby; they get the ‘wow’ factor with
highest standards of interior styling,
hand-chosen original art-work, fine
leather furniture and our signature
checkerboard granite floor.
We have absolute confidence that
our product is better and our team
is motivated.

THE NEW BREED
During the year we opened twelve
floors across four new locations, and
also moved to two new floors in our
location in Bastion Tower, Brussels. Our
new locations include Parramatta Square
in Greater Sydney, Nihonbashi Daiei
Building in Tokyo, Laysen Valley in Riyadh
and Avenue Kléber in Paris.
― The Nihonbashi Daiei Building is
ideally located at the very strategic
Zero Milestone in Japan at the famous
Nihonbashi Bridge. Tokyo’s Nihonbashi
business district is named after the
bridge (literally “Japan Bridge”) and is
often called the “Center of Japan”. It
is in close proximity to Marunouchi,
Ginza and Tokyo Station. The bridge is
known as the departure point of the
“Edo Five Routes” and the reference
point to calculate distances between
Tokyo and other areas in Japan. Always
blessed with commercial prosperity
throughout the centuries, Nihonbashi
has evolved as one of the most
bustling business districts and high-
end shopping areas in Tokyo and is a
very desirable location to establish a
business in Japan.
― Located on the prestigious Avenue
Kléber, near Place de l’Etoile, this
private 19th century mansion will
make you enjoy all the charm of Paris’
architecture style. Our luxury private
offices with high ceilings enjoy great
views on the Avenue.
― 3 Parramatta Square marks the second
stage of the new $2 billion Parramatta
Square Development. This is one of
the largest urban renewal projects
completed in Australia. The building
has been architecturally designed by
Johnson Pilton Walker. Parramatta
Square will be a major civic meeting
place: larger than Martin Place in
Sydney’s CBD, activated by a unique
combination of uses.

YOU CAN BE THE BIGGEST
LITTLE MULTINATIONAL IN OUR
GLOBAL DOG PARK!
SERVCORP’S COMMUNITY
JOIN THE PACK
Servcorp’s Community
allows you to connect,
collaborate and come together
with over 60,000 fellow
businesses globally.
Consider it your own private global
business network. The Community
consists of businesses from 41 major
cities across the globe, sharing one
location; Servcorp Home – house in
the cloud.
You could be running your small
business from your own home and
using Servcorp’s integrated technology
platform; be in constant contact from
those that you buy from or sell to,
consult to or seek advice from.
Servcorp Home, maintained by our
I.T. Enablers, gives those Servcorp
clients working remotely a real
market advantage.
EVEN A LITTLE
DOG CAN HAVE A
BIG BARK!
HYBRID WORKING
To support how our clients love to work,
we are expanding the features and
capabilities of Servcorp Home to further
enable hybrid ways of working. We have
been working to update our booking
capabilities to provide easy access for
company owners to manage and control
how their teams use Servcorp spaces. The
end result is a powerful and productive
system that encourages growth for both
Servcorp and our clients.
STAYING CONNECTED @ HOME
TRUST EQUALS GROWTH
One of the fundamental aspects of doing
business is being able to trust who you
buy from, and who your clients are. In
our 40 years we have seen this in our
growth, but also in our clients’ growth.
Servcorp’s difference, compared to
other business communities and service
providers, is that every individual client
has gone through a verification process.
The trust factor of doing business with
other reputable businesses is one
of the reasons why people prefer
to engage within our community,
compared to wasting thousands
of hours and dollars in the
open market.
To leverage this asset, our digital
platforms serve as an enabler for
high-value interactions and through that,
we continue to see members connect
and watch strangers become contacts,
who then become clients.
CONNECTION AND TRANSACTION
The core focus for the Community in
FY 22/23 is to increase the number
of interactions that our clients have
with each other.
To do that we continue to blend offline
and online experiences, and adapt to
what our clients and the market needs.
Companies attract business by listing on
the global directory, promote their brand

The application allows Servcorp team
members to manage the client journey
whilst delivering real-time role-based
performance metrics to help drive

Servcorp acknowledges the seriousness of climate change and the impact
high concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are having on
our planet. There is growing need for businesses to become sustainable to
ensure the protection of the environment from further damage. We have
three distinct areas of focus; Reduce, Offset and Educate.
As a global company, we have a
responsibility for taking a leadership
role amongst both team members and
clients worldwide to educate them
on our values and attitude towards
the environment. We will endeavour
to make everyday changes, such as
reducing paper use, recycling waste
materials and using energy efficient
processes, to help make a difference.
As Servcorp continues to grow and
open new locations, we choose green
buildings as another step in the right
direction, and further reduce our
impact on the environment.
Servcorp also takes a proactive approach
to offsetting greenhouse emissions.
Since 2007, Servcorp has supported
The Green Offices Project as our global
platform for these initiatives.
As part of The Green Offices Project,
Servcorp plants a tree for every Virtual
Office sold online through the Servcorp
website. Virtual Offices, which are
inherently environmentally friendly,
continue to be a driving force behind
the Green Offices Project.
The Project aims to reduce our carbon
emissions, offset our existing footprint
and educate our teams and clients
about improving their day-to-day
impact on the environment. As well as
offsetting greenhouse gas, this action is
helping improve water quality, reduce
soil degradation and provide essential
habitat for native wildlife.
To date, Servcorp has planted more than
53,000 trees across multiple forest sites;
our ‘Servcorp forest’, which across all
Greenfleet reforestation sites, covers
approximately 530,000 square metres
of regional land. This is more than three
times the combined floor space occupied
by our network of offices, globally.
The ‘Servcorp forest’ will already remove
more than 14,206 tonnes of carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere during
its lifespan. This is similar to removing
3,303 medium sized cars from the road
for a whole year!
Servcorp has expanded our long-term partnership with
leading environmental not-for-profit, Greenfleet, with the
intention of contributing up to $1 million over 10 years to
projects for replanting, reforestation or carbon offset.

Directors must also notify the Company Secretary when they buy or sell shares in the Company. This is reported to the Board. In accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 and the Listing Rules of the ASX, each Director has entered into an agreement with the Company that requires disclosure to the Company of all information needed for it to comply with the obligation to notify the ASX of Directors’ holdings and interests in its securities.

The Company Secretary has been appointed as the person responsible for communications with the ASX. COMMITTEES The Board does not delegate major decisions to Committees. Committees are responsible for considering detailed issues and making recommendations to the Board. The Board has established three Committees to assist in the implementation of its corporate governance practices. Details of these Committees are set out on the following pages. COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD The size and composition of the Board is determined by the Board, subject to the limits set out in the Company's Constitution which requires a minimum of three Directors and a maximum of twelve Directors. The Board comprises four Directors (one executive and three non-executive). All three non-executive Directors are considered to be independent. There has been no change to the Board since the last annual report. The Chair of the Board, The Hon. Mark Vaile, is an independent non-executive Director. The non-executive Directors bring to the Board an appropriate range of skills, experience and expertise to ensure that Servcorp is run in the best interest of all stakeholders. The skills, experience and expertise of each Director in office at the date of this annual report are set out on pages 32 and 33 of this annual report. The Board will continue to be made up of a majority of independent non-executive Directors. The performance of non-executive Directors was reviewed during the year. The names of the Directors of the Company in office at the date of this annual report are set out in the table below. DIRECTORS’ INDEPENDENCE It is important that the Board is able to operate independently of executive management. The non-executive Directors are considered by the Board to be independent of management. Independence is assessed by determining whether the Director is free of any business interest or other relationship which could materially interfere with the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement and their ability to act in the best interests of Servcorp. NAMES OF DIRECTORS IN OFFICE AT THE DATE OF THIS ANNUAL REPORT DIRECTOR FIRST APPOINTED NON- EXECUTIVE INDEPENDENT RETIRING AT 2022 AGM SEEKING RE-ELECTION AT 2019 AGM A G Moufarrige 24 August 1999 No No No N/A M Vaile 27 June 2011 Yes Yes No N/A W Graham 3 October 2017 Yes Yes Yes Yes T McGrath 27 August 2019 Yes Yes No N/A ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Company’s Constitution specifies that an election of Directors must take place each year. One-third of the Board (excluding the Managing Director and rounded down to the nearest whole number), and any other Director who has held office for three or more years since they were last elected, must retire from office at each annual general meeting. The Directors are eligible for re-election. Directors may be appointed by the Board during the year. Directors appointed by the Board must retire from office at the next annual general meeting. All Director appointments or changes are dealt with by the Nomination Committee. CONFLICT OF INTEREST In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Company’s Constitution, Directors must keep the Board advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that would potentially conflict with those of Servcorp. Where the Board believes that an actual or potential significant conflict exists, the Director concerned, if appropriate, will not take part in any discussions or decision making process on the matter and will abstain from voting on the item being considered. Details of Director related entity transactions with the Company and the Consolidated Entity are set out in Note 28 to the Consolidated financial report. INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE Each Director has the right to seek independent professional advice, at Servcorp’s expense, to help them carry out their responsibilities. Prior approval of the Chair is required, which will not be unreasonably withheld. A copy of any written advice received by the Director is made available to all other members of the Board. ETHICAL STANDARDS All Directors, Executives and Team Members are expected to act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance and protect the reputation and performance of Servcorp. Servcorp has a Code of Conduct, which all Directors, Executives and Team Members are expected to uphold and promote. It provides clear expectations of the way in which Servcorp must conduct business lawfully, ethically and responsibly, and sets out the standards of conduct and personal behaviour required. The Code of Conduct is available on Servcorp’s website; servcorp.com.au.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Revenue and other income from ordinary activities for the twelve months ended 30 June 2022 was $275.57 million, down 0.03% from the twelve months ended 30 June 2021. The Australian dollar strengthened in general against most major currencies through the financial year, resulting in a downward foreign exchange impact on operating revenue of $3.57 million. In constant currency terms, mature revenue increased by 4% compared to the 2021 year. Net profit before tax for the twelve months to 30 June 2022 was $34.38 million, up 12% from $30.59 million in the prior year. Underlying net profit before tax, before operating losses from new floors pre-maturity and closed floors post-closure of $3.6 million and a gain from cloud computing adjustment of $2.8 million, was $35.16 million up 17% compared to the 2021 year (2021: $30.05 million before net non-cash impairment of assets of $1.50 million, loss from lease adjustment of $0.2 million and a gain from cloud computing adjustment of $2.2 million). Net profit after tax for the twelve months to 30 June 2022 was $28.02 million, up from $23.49 million in the prior year. Cash and investment balances (unencumbered) were $107.55 million at 30 June 2022 (30 June 2021: $96.94 million). The business generated strong net operating cash flows during the 2022 financial year of $145.58 million, up 4% compared to the 2021 financial year (2021: $139.65 million). The underlying free cash generated during the 2022 financial year was up 17% to $57.29 million, after adding back tax paid of $13.12 million and cash rent adjustments of $0.27 million and deducting lease liability payments of $99.21 million and other timing differences of $2.47 million (2021: underlying free cash generated $49.07million, after adding back tax paid of $10.29 million, cash rent adjustments of $5.23 million and deconsolidation payments of $2.90 million, and deducting lease liability payments of $106.81 million and other timing differences of $2.19 million). As most parts of the world gradually return to a state of normalcy, challenges continue, reflected in the rising inflation rate, declining consumer confidence, tightening monetary policy, disrupted supply chain, and geographic instability. The focused investment by management in all teams across Servcorp has seen higher levels of client engagement and retention over the last two years with stronger results starting to materialise in the 2022 financial year, despite ongoing challenges from COVID-19 and uncertain global economic conditions. Client retention ratio, one of the key strategic initiatives set for the 2022 financial year, achieved promising early stage results; the global churn rate was 12% lower on the 2021 financial year, which substantially drove down the business development costs. Empowered by its strong balance sheet, high cash reserves, global presence in gateway cities at premium locations, and the unique value proposition supported by the best-in-market technology, Servcorp was able to expand its footprint in various markets, and enhance its revenue streams. Significant investment in was made in expansion, funding the opening of operations at four new locations, with another five new locations set to open in the 2023 financial year. Continued investment is being made in IT development, with the team achieving a significant milestone in the 2022 financial year; the completion of a core component to Servcorp’s new IT platform. This will streamline various internal processes and provide a future avenue for growth. SERVCORP FOOTPRINT In the 2022 financial year, net capacity increased by 21 offices. During the year, twelve floors opened in four new locations and five floors were closed. Occupancy of mature floors open at 30 June 2022 was 73% (30 June 2021: 73%). All floor occupancy was 72%. As at 30 June 2022, Servcorp operated 129 floors in 41 cities across 20 countries. STATE OF AFFAIRS There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity during the financial year. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activities of the Consolidated Entity during the financial year were the provision of Executive Serviced and Virtual Offices, Coworking and IT, Communications and Secretarial Services.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST (EME) EME continues to thrive. Mature revenue was up $5.0 million in the 2022 financial year compared to the 2021 financial year, almost fully converted into mature segment profit and cash earnings, which increased by 80% and 46% respectively. The proven management team continues to support the expansion in the region. One new operation and one replacement operation were opened at new locations in the fourth quarter of the 2022 financial year. USA After the long and relentless effort to develop the business in the USA market, and a targeted focus in the 2022 financial year, the segment finally turned into profit in the 2022 financial year. The USA recorded mature segment profit and cash earnings of $0.3 million and $2.1 million respectively. Mature revenue of $16.5 million was up 23% in the 2022 financial year, compared to the 2021 financial year. AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND SOUTHEAST ASIA (ANZ/ SEA) The ANZ/ SEA performance in the 2022 financial year was disappointing, down 12% year-on-year in mature revenue. A portfolio consolidation review led to the closure of three floors in the year. One new floor was opened. The portfolio rationalisation resulted in an increase in overall mature segment profit (up $5.0 million) as well as cash earnings (up $8.5 million), despite the decline in mature revenue. NORTH ASIA North Asia, as a whole, continued to deliver a solid result, although the year-on-year performance was undermined largely due to the ongoing government pursuit of zero-COVID-19 policy in China (including Hong Kong). Mature revenue was down 5% from $117.5 million to $111.4 million. Mature segment profit and cash earnings decreased by 30% and 14% respectively in the 2022 financial year compared to the 2021 financial year. In the 2022 financial year, one floor was closed in the region, replaced by a new operation at a more premium location.

REMUNERATION REPORT For the 2023 financial year: •to ensure that Servcorp’s remuneration strategy and practices remain competitive and evolve with changing best practice, inJuly 2022 the Board engaged Crichton and Associates to undertake a comprehensive review of executive remunerationstrategy and related matters;•the key outcomes to date, as mentioned above, have been the approval of a new LTI performance rights plan for 2023, anewly defined KMP structure, and the introduction of a malus and clawback policy;•other initiatives emerging from this review will be assessed and, where suitable, implemented by the Board and communicatedto shareholders.In summary, the Board believes Servcorp’s approach to non-executive Director and executive KMP remuneration is balanced, fair and equitable and designed to achieve alignment of executive reward with shareholder expectations and value. We will continue to assess our practices to ensure they support Servcorp’s strategy, our desired business outcomes, and our goal of retaining and motivating our employees in an increasingly competitive environment for talent. This Remuneration Report sets out, in accordance with the relevant Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act) and accounting standard requirements, the remuneration arrangements in place for KMP of Servcorp during the financial year ended 30 June 2022. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE This section explains the role of the Board and the Remuneration Committee, and use of remuneration consultants when making remuneration decisions in respect of non-executive Directors and executive KMP. Role of the Board and the Remuneration Committee The Board is responsible for Servcorp’s global remuneration strategy and policy. Consistent with this responsibility, the Board has established the Remuneration Committee, which comprises solely non-executive Directors, all being independent. The role of the Remuneration Committee is set out in its Charter, which is reviewed annually. In summary, the Remuneration Committee’s role includes: •ensure that the appropriate procedures exist to assess the remuneration levels of the Chair, other non-executive Directors,executive Directors, direct reports to the CEO, Board Committees and the Board as a whole;•ensure that Servcorp meets the requirements of ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, and otherrelevant guidelines;•ensure that Servcorp adopts, monitors and applies appropriate remuneration policies and procedures;•ensure that reporting disclosures related to remuneration meet the Board’s disclosure objectives and all relevant legal andaccounting standard requirements;•develop, maintain and monitor appropriate talent management programs including succession planning, recruitment,development; and retention and termination policies and procedures for senior management; and•develop, maintain and monitor appropriate superannuation and other relevant pension benefit arrangements for Servcorp asrequired by law.Further information on the Remuneration Committee’s role, responsibilities and membership are contained in the Corporate Governance section on page 31. Use of remuneration consultants During the 2022 and the 2021 financial years, no remuneration consultant made a remuneration recommendation in relation to any of the executive KMP. As mentioned previously, in July 2022 the Board engaged Crichton and Associates to undertake an extensive remuneration review, which will result in various changes being implemented for the 2023 financial year and beyond. INTRODUCTION Servcorp’s aim is to provide the finest workspace solutions to our customers by providing the best locations, facilities, technology and people crucial to making businesses successful. Our operations span 20 countries, 41 cities and 124 locations globally, via serviced offices, co-working, and virtual offerings. This global footprint provides leverage to exploit our brand, take advantage of new market opportunities and diversify our risk. Notably, for the 2022 financial year offshore revenue represented more than 84% of our total revenue. Skilled, experienced local management in each jurisdiction, supported by Servcorp’s market leading IT platform and proprietary product offerings, are critical to our continued success, and with the increasingly competitive environment for talent, we need to have an appropriate reward framework in place. We are highly aware that the markets in which we operate are subject to changing economic factors, and often these may be counter cyclical to the Australian market. Therefore, it is the Board’s view that our remuneration strategy should reflect both our vision as a global company and the diversity of our regional businesses. Over the past few years, the Company has been presented with unprecedented challenges. We have managed to navigate through an intense competitive environment and a pandemic, the latter of which has caused tremendous change in how and where people work. While sales, floor growth and profits weakened through that period we managed to cut costs, retain a dedicated team, drive strong cash flow, and pay continued dividends for our shareholders. The Board would like to acknowledge our team members for their tremendous effort and perseverance through this difficult environment. With the world opening up, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from improved trends and capitalise on the evolution of flexible working. We have seen a return to growth in our business, with floors opening once again, and like-for-like improvement in both our office and virtual revenue. That said, we are still seeing the impacts of an inflationary environment, supply chain disruption and uncertainty about the global economy. In 2022, the team worked incredibly hard and managed to achieve global profit targets that had not been lowered during the pandemic. We also had some standout regional performances, so we feel that the STIs earned are a fair reflection of the team’s efforts and resulting outcomes for the Company. The Board’s philosophy and approach to executive remuneration is to attract and retain team members with a fair yet challenging compensation structure which rewards excellence at the regional level, properly incentivises those whose roles span multiple geographies, and supports the growth aspirations of Servcorp as a global business. For Servcorp, we believe financial performance is the key driver of shareholder value, so we have structured our framework to reflect both regional and global contributions of our executives to group performance. As we look forward, and with some new team members on board, we thought it important to reassess our remuneration strategy. Therefore, the Board has appointed an independent consultant to undertake a remuneration strategy review to ensure we have a modern best practice framework for fiscal 2023 and beyond. The initial outcomes of this review are as follows: • firstly, we will be introducing an LTI performance rights plan in the 2023 financial year. The goals of this plan are to ensure our competitiveness in the market, improve long-term alignment between remuneration, business performance, and shareholder interests, and provide a clearer long-term compensation mechanism that relies on 3-year group cumulative EPS levels; • secondly, in the review we re-assessed our executive KMP structure. After hiring a new CFO with expanded global responsibility for the business, we have determined that from 1 July 2022 Servcorp’s KMP will consist of the CEO, the CFO and members of the Board. Regional managers whose responsibilities are not global in nature will no longer be deemed KMP. Regional managers will continue to participate in STI compensation plans that rely on regional and group profits, and may also receive periodic LTI grants with similar performance and service conditions to executive KMP grants. This will ensure we can continue to attract and retain exceptional managers at the regional level, and will further align their long term compensation with Servcorp’s financial performance; • thirdly, we will be introducing a malus and clawback policy relative to our incentive programs; • finally, other KMP remuneration initiatives will be considered and implemented, if deemed appropriate, during the current financial year. The Board is committed to ensuring our remuneration practices continue to evolve to support the interests of our shareholders, so we will continue to reassess our plans on a go-forward basis. We welcome feedback from shareholders and proxy advisors, and we thank you for your continued support of Servcorp. In the 2022 financial year: • the Board has not introduced any new executive remuneration components; • in May 2022, the Board issued Options to the CFO as part of his employment agreement; • in recognition of the impact of Covid-19, and profit expectations going forward, the Board did not increase the global gateway net profit before tax for the 2022 financial year. The Board has increased the global gateway for the 2023 financial year.

REMUNERATION REPORT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATIONFees and payments to non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. Non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed by the Board. The Board ensures non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. Non-executive Directors are not employed under a contract and do not receive share options or other equity based remuneration. Directors’ fees Non-executive Directors’ fees are determined by the Board within an aggregate Directors’ fees limit approved by shareholders. The fees limit currently stands at $500,000 per annum inclusive of payments for superannuation. This limit was approved at the 2011 annual general meeting. The most recent review of Directors’ fees was effective 1 July 2013. Directors’ fees had not increased since 1 January 2010. Effective 1 July 2013, Non-executive Directors’ fees were set as: •Chair - $175,000 per annum including superannuation;•Non-executive - $100,000 per annum including superannuation;•Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee - an additional $10,000 per annum including superannuation.Effective 1 July 2021, the Superannuation Guarantee rate increased from 9.5% to 10%. To comply with the legislation, this increase was passed on to non-executive Directors; this resulted in an increase of $1,759 in total fees. Additional fees are not paid for membership of Board committees other than as referred to in the previous paragraph. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, from 1 April 2020 to 31July 2020, all non-executive Directors agreed to a 20% reduction of Directors’ fees. Retirement allowances for Directors Non-executive Directors are not entitled to retirement allowances. Details of remuneration Details of the nature and amount of each element of the remuneration of each non-executive Director of Servcorp Limited for the year ended 30 June 2022 are set out in the table on page 51. Minimum shareholding requirement Servcorp does not have a minimum shareholding requirement for non-executive Directors. It is noted, however, that all non-executive Directors are shareholders of the Company. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION Remuneration philosophy and principles The Board recognises that the Consolidated Entity’s performance is dependent on the quality and contribution of its team members, particularly the executive KMP. To achieve its financial and operating objectives, Servcorp must be able to attract, retain and motivate appropriately qualified and skilled executives at the regional and global level. The objective of the executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of Servcorp’s strategic objectives particularly its short, medium and long term earnings. The Board believes that earnings are the metric which best corresponds to value creation for the Company and its shareholders in both the short and longer term, but will continue to assess the merits of using other performance indicators in our remuneration framework in the future. Executive remuneration is a balanced mix of fixed and incentive (‘at risk’) remuneration. In determining the appropriate balance, regular reviews are undertaken that involve cross-referencing position descriptions to reliable accessible remuneration data in the markets in which Servcorp operates. Servcorp’s executive remuneration policy and principles are designed to ensure that the Consolidated Entity: •provides competitive rewards that attract, retain and motivate our key executives;•encourages loyalty and commitment to Servcorp;•builds a structure for growth and includes appropriate succession planning;•structures remuneration at a level that reflects the executive’s duties and accountabilities and is competitive in the markets inwhich it operates;•complies with applicable legal requirements and appropriate standards of governance.The Company’s remuneration framework is reviewed annually, and the Board is committed to engaging with shareholders, consultants and proxy advisors as required to ensure proper evolution of its remuneration strategy. KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of Servcorp and comprise the non-executive Directors, and executive KMP (being the Executive Directors and other senior executives named in this report). This year, and in prior years, certain regional executives were included as KMP. In April 2022, Servcorp appointed a new Chief Financial Officer, whose involvement will include elevated levels of responsibility in the business at a group level, and encompass a wider operational focus. From 1 July 2022, the Board is of the opinion that authority for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Consolidated Entity will reside with the CEO and CFO, and have resolved that for the 2023 financial year the KMP will consist of the CEO, CFO and the Board.

REMUNERATION REPORT Long term equity incentives •In 2016 the Board updated the Servcorp Limited Executive Share Option Scheme (ESOS). From time to time since then, theBoard has granted Options to senior executives to encourage and reward superior long term performance. These optionshave been subject to vesting criteria based on 3-year service and 2-year EPS growth;•Options were granted during the 2022 and 2021 financial years. The previous grants were in the 2019 and 2016 financialyears, however these lapsed or expired during the 2021 financial year. A summary of the terms of the Options currently onissue are detailed in the table below;•for the 2023 financial year and beyond, the Board has approved a new performance rights LTI plan, with vesting based onservice and a 3-year cumulative EPS measure. The targets are intended to be rigorous yet achievable in the event of stronggroup performance. This program will be designed to improve executive alignment with our long-term goals, and ensure weevolve with market practice by introducing a 3-year testing horizon;•the Board may continue to grant Options to key executives and other team members under the ESOS.A summary of the terms of the Options currently on issue are as follows: Grant date 27 August 2020 27 August 2020 11 May 2022 Issue date 18 September 2020 4 November 2020 19 May 2022 Exercise price $2.48 per Option $2.48 per Option $3.54 per Option Vesting conditions EPS performance hurdle of 15% pa cumulative growth between the 2020 and 2022 financial years Continuous service until 18 September 2023 EPS performance hurdle of 15% pa cumulative growth between the 2020 and 2022 financial years Continuous service until 18 September 2023 EPS performance hurdle of 15% pa cumulative growth between the 2022 and 2024 financial years Continuous service until 19 May 2025 Vesting date 18 September 2023 18 September 2023 19 May 2025 Exercise period Two years from vesting date to expiry date Two years from vesting date to expiry date Two years from vesting date to expiry date Expiry date 18 September 2025 18 September 2025 19 May 2027 Option value $0.5825 $0.5368 $0.5145 Status Vested (i) Vested (i) Not vested i. Effective 25 August 2022, the Options issued on 18 September 2020 and 4 November 2020 vested, as the EPS Performance of the Company met the applicableVesting Percentage. Continuous service is still to be met. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS There are no fixed term employment agreements in place for any executive KMP. Termination benefits There are no termination of employment agreements in place for executive KMP. Any termination benefit paid to executive KMP would be limited to 12 months remuneration as required by law and in most cases would be determined based on statutory minimum requirements, years of service and the nature of the termination. Clawback To date, Servcorp has not had a policy on clawback but has remained compliant with any legal and ASX requirements in this regard. There have been no circumstances where clawback would have applied. As part of the recent remuneration review and newly approved LTI program, in the 2023 financial year the Board approved a Malus and Clawback Policy. Minimum shareholding requirements Servcorp does not have a minimum shareholding requirement for executive KMP. Remuneration structure and elements The executive KMP remuneration and reward framework at Servcorp consisted of three components: •fixed remuneration;•short term incentives; and•long term incentives.The combination of these comprises the executive KMP total targeted remuneration opportunity. Fixed remuneration Fixed remuneration is reviewed each year and adjusted to changes in job role, promotion, market practice, internal relativities and performance. Remuneration for the 2022 financial year and changes from 2021 are set out in the table on pages 52 and 53. Short term incentives Short term incentives (STI) are awarded, in cash, based on achievement against targets set at the beginning of each financial year. The basis of the STI scheme was established for the 2014 financial year and has been applied consistently in subsequent financial years. Alf Moufarrige, the CEO, founder and major shareholder, has elected not to participate in the STI scheme. Under the STI scheme, an STI dollar value is set for each executive KMP, which represents the target STI that can be awarded for achieving target for the relevant year. The target STI opportunity for the 2022 financial year ranged between $40,000 and $150,000. The target STI opportunity as a percentage of fixed remuneration ranged between 9% and 30% with the average being 22%. STI targets are set in advance each year and are challenging. The STI targets for the 2022 financial year were determined based on a matrix of Consolidated Entity mature net profit before tax (global STI target) and region mature operating profit (region STI target), where appropriate. To ensure STI targets remained challenging, the global STI target and region STI targets, in the 2022 financial year, were generally maintained at pre-COVID levels. Region STI is only paid if the region STI target is met; there is no gateway. Four executive KMP have a direct responsibility for a region, and therefore their total STI potential was allocated between their region STI target and the global STI target. The region STI allocation for three executive KMP was 50% of their total potential STI, and for one executive KMP their region STI allocation was 62%. A gateway consolidated net profit before tax is set each year, and must be achieved before any global STI payout is made. It is intended that a similar approach to STI will be applied for the 2023 financial year. Despite the impact of COVID-19, the gateway consolidated net profit before tax remained unchanged for the 2022 financial year. The gateway has been increased for the 2023 financial year in anticipation of continued improvement in results, balanced by economic uncertainty and global political events, as provided in the following table. FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2021 GATEWAY 2022 GATEWAY 2022 ACTUAL 2023 GATEWAY Consolidated mature net profit before tax ($ million) 38.0 38.0 38.1 40.0 Global STI is calculated as follows: •if consolidated mature net profit before tax meets the global gateway - 50% of the global STI opportunity;•if consolidated mature net profit before tax meets the global target - 100% of the global STI opportunity;•if consolidated mature net profit before tax falls between the global gateway and target - the global STI paid is calculated asa percentage between 50% and 100% of global STI opportunity on an incremental basis, in the same proportion as the netprofit before tax is to gateway and target.There are also additional STI opportunities to provide incentive for executive KMP to out-perform their targets: •executive KMP with a region target receive an extra $50,000 for each $2.0 million by which they out-perform their regionmature operating profit target. In addition, the Board has discretion to reward executive KMP who achieve 'super out-perform'region results with additional STI payments;•if the global target is exceeded by more than a set amount, executive KMP receive double their global STI opportunity. In the2022 financial year, this metric was set at $5 million. If consolidated mature net profit before tax falls between the global targetand global out-perform, the global STI paid is calculated as a percentage between 100% and 200% of global STI opportunityon an incremental basis, in the same proportion as the mature net profit before tax is to target and out-perform. This out-perform metric was not achieved in 2022, so these payments were not made.In the 2022 financial year, the total additional STI opportunity if all executive KMP had outperformed their region and global target was $470,000.

REMUNERATION REPORT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONSOLIDATED ENTITY PERFORMANCE, EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION AND SHAREHOLDER WEALTH The relationship between Consolidated Entity performance and executive KMP remuneration is important to ensure that there is a clear and appropriate correlation and alignment of interests between shareholders and executive KMP. Key financial indicators Servcorp’s principal activities and financial performance are explained in detail in the Review of Operations section of the Directors' Report on pages 36 to 39. A summary of Servcorp’s financial performance over the last five years is provided in the following table. FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE MEASURE 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Total revenue ($million) 312 337 352 276 276 Net profit before tax ($million) 32.1 12.5 15.6 30.6 34.4 Net profit after tax ($million) 10.1 5.4 6.9 23.5 28.0 Basic earnings per share (cents) 10.2 5.6 7.2 24.3 28.9 Dividend per share (cents) 26.0 23.0 20.0 18.0 20.0 Share price as at 30 June ($) $4.16 $3.51 $2.32 $3.50 $3.30 Offices 5,615 5,788 5,039 5,141 5,162 Number of locations 135 137 112 111 107 The financial years leading up to and including 2017 had achieved significant increases in profitability. The 2018 and 2019 financial years were challenging due to a dramatically increased competitive environment and pressures in the US market, with net profit after tax impacted by one-off, non-cash adjustments to income tax in 2018, and charges for non-recurring restructure costs and write-offs, the impairment of leasehold improvements and goodwill and the exclusion of restricted earnings in 2019. Despite the large non-cash impairments impacting on profits for the 2019 financial year, revenues for 2019 were at a record level and Directors’ were encouraged by a strong second half profit. The first three quarters of the 2020 financial year continued the improvement shown in the second half of the 2019 financial year. The Company’s strong performance was evident across all key metrics including occupancy, operating margins, net profit after tax and free cash, with record revenues recorded, despite a very challenging competitive environment. COVID-19 impacted on trading conditions in the last quarter, however the Company still recorded a strong underlying performance; revenue and other income was up 5%, underlying net profit before tax was up 17% and underlying free cash was up 3%. The 2021 and 2022 financial year performances reflect the challenging COVID-19 trading conditions and global economic environment. In particular, there is downward price pressure across our global footprint, affecting revenue. We have also experienced notable variation in performance across regions, as the severity of lockdowns and other restrictions have differed across geographies. An improving environment, disciplined cost management and minimal impact from non-underlying items has seen net profit after tax, and associated earnings per share (EPS), return to higher levels, with EPS up 237% in 2021, and 19% in 2022. Through all years, cash flows have remained strong, allowing interim and final dividends to continue to be paid to our shareholders. For 2022 we were able to increase the dividend from 2021 levels. The improved performance in the second half of the 2019 financial year and first half of the 2020 financial year had been reflected in a steady increase in share price during the first three quarters of the 2020 financial year, however the uncertainties created by COVID-19 again significantly affected the share market, and this had an impact on Servcorp’s share price at 30 June 2020. Servcorp’s share price has again been steadily increasing, and at 30 June 2021 closed at $3.50, up from $2.32 at 30 June 2020. Servcorp’s share price increased considerably in the first half of the 2022 financial year, reaching a high of $4.74 in November, however the difficulties in the global economies and the war in Ukraine have affected share markets dramatically, and Servcorp’s share price had decreased to $3.30 at 30 June 2022, despite improving underlying performance of the business. We are confident that Servcorp will emerge from the COVID-19 crisis in a financially sound position and will return to higher profit levels which, when combined with healthy dividends, will result in a satisfactory total shareholder return (TSR) performance over the coming years. Servcorp’s remuneration of executive KMP has taken into account the pressures on Consolidated Entity performance. Executive KMP base salaries had stayed the same during the 2020 and 2021 financial years, and during the challenges of the fourth quarter of 2020 most executive KMP agreed to a 20% reduction in base salary. Despite the anticipated impact of COVID-19, STI targets have been set at challenging, pre-COVID levels; accordingly, with the decreased earnings in the 2020 and 2021 financial years, global net profit before tax targets were not achieved, and corresponding STIs not paid. In the 2022 financial year, consolidated mature net profit before tax met the global gateway, and accordingly a proportion of global STI opportunity was paid. We also increased salaries of selected individuals who have performed exceptionally well through difficult times. In 2022, two regions outperformed their target, and the Board considers it necessary to recognise this outstanding performance, against tremendous headwinds. One executive KMP achieved 'out-perform' profits, resulting in a payment in excess of their target opportunity. Additionally, in the case of one KMP, it was decided to award an additional discretionary amount of $25,000 for strong regional performance in the face of challenging headwinds. The three KMP receiving an STI were also awarded amounts for mature NPBT meeting the global gateway amount. The variable pay opportunity paid out to executive KMP represents 85.6% of the target opportunity, which includes the outperform payment. 53.2% of KMP target STI opportunities were forfeited. The individual 'at risk' rewards paid in the 2022 financial year to executive KMP and the percentage of their maximum opportunity is provided in the following table. EXECUTIVE KMP REGION STI AWARDED $ % OF TARGET OPPORTUNITY OPTIONS AWARDED NO.

Our executive KMP include a balance of long-serving team members together with new executive talent, who reflect Servcorp’s investment in the future. All executive KMP are aware of the need to perform. Each executive is involved in the target setting for the business and accepts the challenging targets set. If our forward net profit before tax targets are met, then shareholders, in the opinion of the Board, will be satisfied with the Consolidated Entity’s performance and executive KMP will receive their target remuneration opportunity. If executive KMP fail to meet their targets, the 'at risk' component of executive KMP remuneration will be heavily discounted, or in certain circumstances, not be awarded. In this way the alignment of Consolidated Entity performance and executive KMP remuneration will be in direct correlation and be unambiguous. SPECIAL RETENTION INCENTIVE During the 2017 financial year, the Board identified that the retention of Ms Olga Vlietstra as General Manager in Japan was critical to the success of this key region, which contributes significantly to the profit of the Consolidated Entity. The Board decided to offer Ms Vlietstra a special retention incentive, subject to service conditions. Ms Vlietstra was provided with an option to purchase from Servcorp an apartment currently owned in Tokyo. In July 2020, the Board resolved to extend the expiry date of the incentive for an additional two years, on the condition that Ms Vlietstra remain in continuous service for an additional two years. A summary of the terms of the option are as follows: Service condition Ms Vlietstra must remain employed in continuous service in Japan until 30 June 2022 Reward if service condition is met Option to purchase Servcorp's Tokyo apartment at its market value at time of offer, adjusted for inflation Vesting date 1 July 2019 Market value JPY373,000,000 Exercise period Four years, from vesting date to expiry date Expiry date 30 June 2023 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONSOLIDATED ENTITY PERFORMANCE, EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION AND SHAREHOLDER WEALTH The relationship between Consolidated Entity performance and executive KMP remuneration is important to ensure that there is a clear and appropriate correlation and alignment of interests between shareholders and executive KMP.

COVID-19 impacted on trading conditions in the last quarter, however the Company still recorded a strong underlying performance; revenue and other income was up 5%, underlying net profit before tax was up 17% and underlying free cash was up 3%. The 2021 and 2022 financial year performances reflect the challenging COVID-19 trading conditions and global economic environment. In particular, there is downward price pressure across our global footprint, affecting revenue. We have also experienced notable variation in performance across regions, as the severity of lockdowns and other restrictions have differed across geographies. An improving environment, disciplined cost management and minimal impact from non-underlying items has seen net profit after tax, and associated earnings per share (EPS), return to higher levels, with EPS up 237% in 2021, and 19% in 2022. Through all years, cash flows have remained strong, allowing interim and final dividends to continue to be paid to our shareholders. For 2022 we were able to increase the dividend from 2021 levels. The improved performance in the second half of the 2019 financial year and first half of the 2020 financial year had been reflected in a steady increase in share price during the first three quarters of the 2020 financial year, however the uncertainties created by COVID-19 again significantly affected the share market, and this had an impact on Servcorp’s share price at 30 June 2020. Servcorp’s share price has again been steadily increasing, and at 30 June 2021 closed at $3.50, up from $2.32 at 30 June 2020. Servcorp’s share price increased considerably in the first half of the 2022 financial year, reaching a high of $4.74 in November, however the difficulties in the global economies and the war in Ukraine have affected share markets dramatically, and Servcorp’s share price had decreased to $3.30 at 30 June 2022, despite improving underlying performance of the business. We are confident that Servcorp will emerge from the COVID-19 crisis in a financially sound position and will return to higher profit levels which, when combined with healthy dividends, will result in a satisfactory total shareholder return (TSR) performance over the coming years. Servcorp’s remuneration of executive KMP has taken into account the pressures on Consolidated Entity performance. Executive KMP base salaries had stayed the same during the 2020 and 2021 financial years, and during the challenges of the fourth quarter of 2020 most executive KMP agreed to a 20% reduction in base salary. Despite the anticipated impact of COVID-19, STI targets have been set at challenging, pre-COVID levels; accordingly, with the decreased earnings in the 2020 and 2021 financial years, global net profit before tax targets were not achieved, and corresponding STIs not paid. In the 2022 financial year, consolidated mature net profit before tax met the global gateway, and accordingly a proportion of global STI opportunity was paid. We also increased salaries of selected individuals who have performed exceptionally well through difficult times. In 2022, two regions outperformed their target, and the Board considers it necessary to recognise this outstanding performance, against tremendous headwinds. One executive KMP achieved 'out-perform' profits, resulting in a payment in excess of their target opportunity. Additionally, in the case of one KMP, it was decided to award an additional discretionary amount of $25,000 for strong regional performance in the face of challenging headwinds. The three KMP receiving an STI were also awarded amounts for mature NPBT meeting the global gateway amount. The variable pay opportunity paid out to executive KMP represents 85.6% of the target opportunity, which includes the outperform payment. 53.2% of KMP target STI opportunities were forfeited. The individual 'at risk' rewards paid in the 2022 financial year to executive KMP and the percentage of their maximum opportunity is provided in the following table.

Our executive KMP include a balance of long-serving team members together with new executive talent, who reflect Servcorp’s investment in the future. All executive KMP are aware of the need to perform. Each executive is involved in the target setting for the business and accepts the challenging targets set. If our forward net profit before tax targets are met, then shareholders, in the opinion of the Board, will be satisfied with the Consolidated Entity’s performance and executive KMP will receive their target remuneration opportunity. If executive KMP fail to meet their targets, the 'at risk' component of executive KMP remuneration will be heavily discounted, or in certain circumstances, not be awarded. In this way the alignment of Consolidated Entity performance and executive KMP remuneration will be in direct correlation and be unambiguous. SPECIAL RETENTION INCENTIVE During the 2017 financial year, the Board identified that the retention of Ms Olga Vlietstra as General Manager in Japan was critical to the success of this key region, which contributes significantly to the profit of the Consolidated Entity. The Board decided to offer Ms Vlietstra a special retention incentive, subject to service conditions. Ms Vlietstra was provided with an option to purchase from Servcorp an apartment currently owned in Tokyo. In July 2020, the Board resolved to extend the expiry date of the incentive for an additional two years, on the condition that Ms Vlietstra remain in continuous service for an additional two years. A summary of the terms of the option are as follows: Service condition Ms Vlietstra must remain employed in continuous service in Japan until 30 June 2022 Reward if service condition is met Option to purchase Servcorp's Tokyo apartment at its market value at time of offer, adjusted for inflation Vesting date 1 July 2019 Market value JPY373,000,000 Exercise period Four years, from vesting date to expiry date Expiry date 30 June 2023 opportunity.

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEME AND OTHER EQUITY INCENTIVE INFORMATIONAs mentioned earlier in this report, the Board introduced an Options component in the 2016 financial year. This was achieved by issuing Options under the Servcorp Limited Executive Share Option Scheme (ESOS). The ESOS was introduced in 1999 and was first approved by shareholders on 19 October 1999 and subject to various amendments until November 2008. The ESOS was amended by the Board on 24 March 2016 to update it to comply with current legislation. In the 2021 financial year, the Directors granted 2,831,250 Options under the ESOS to senior executives, including 1,500,000 to the CEO and 600,000 to other executive KMP. Options were issued to KMP taking into account performance and length of service, as recommended by the CEO and adopted by the Remuneration Committee and the Board. In the 2022 financial year, the Directors granted 100,000 Options under the ESOS to the CFO upon commencement of his employment with Servcorp. Details of Options granted, on issue and lapsed are provided in the Directors' Report on page 35. Details of Options granted to executive KMP are provided in the following table. Other than the Options issued as detailed above, at the date of this report there are no shares, rights, options or other equity incentives held by executive KMP and subject to vesting restrictions. Future offers under the ESOS, or our newly-approved performance rights program, may be considered by the Board in the future. OPTIONHOLDER GRANT YEAR HELD AT 1 JULY 2021 NO. GRANTED NO.

Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022Going concern(continued)On the basis of these factors, the Directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate and thatthe Consolidated Entity will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. Adoption of new and revised accounting standardsIn the current year, the Consolidated Entity has adopted other amended standards and interpretations. Apart fromchange in cloud computing arrangement, the adoption of the standards and interpretations had no significant impacton the current year or any prior year and are not likely to have a significant impact in future years.Standard nameEffective date forentityOnerous contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)1 January 2022 Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-20201 January 2022Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16)1 January 2022Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement1 January 2022New accounting standards and interpretations not yet effectiveThe AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory applicationdates for future reporting years. The Consolidated Entity has decided not to early adopt these Standards. The followingtable summarises those future requirements, and their impact on the Consolidated Entity where the standard isrelevant:Standard nameEffective date forentityAmendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates andErrors: Definition of Accounting Estimates1 January 2023Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)1 January 2023Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards–Deferred Tax related to Assetsand Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (IAS 12)1 January 2023There are no standards or interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact onthe Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but isnot yet effective.Critical accounting estimates and judgementsIn the application of the accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptionsabout carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that arebelieved to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements.Actual results may differ from these estimates.These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimatesare recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year, or in the year of therevision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years.Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 20221 Basis of preparationStatement of complianceThe Financial Report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with theCorporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and complies with other requirements ofthe law. For the purposes of preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, Servcorp Limited (the Company) and itssubsidiaries together are referred to as (the Consolidated Entity) is a for-profit entity.Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes ofthe Consolidated Entity comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the InternationalAccounting Standards Board (IASB). Consequently, this Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with andcomplies with IFRS as issued by the IASB.The Consolidated Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 25 August 2022.Prior year comparatives have been restated relating to correction of the right of use assets and lease liabilities, andreclassification of software assets from property, plant and equipment to intangible assets. Changes in accountingpolicy relating to cloud computing arrangements have also been restated. Refer to note 25 for details of therestatement. The remaining comparatives are consistent with prior year disclosure.Basis of preparationThe Financial Report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for financial instruments that aremeasured at their fair value as explained in note 1j. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given inexchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. The ConsolidatedFinancial Statements comprise the Financial Statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument2016/191 dated 24 March 2016 and, in accordance with that Instrument, amounts in the Financial Report and theDirectors' Report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.Going concernThese Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared on the going concern basis. Occupancy levels through theyear have been growing steadily. Growth in Virtual Offices and Coworking has also helped maintain a strong cashpositive operating environment.The Consolidated Entity has prepared an assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern, taking into accountinformation available up to the date of signing the Financial Report. The Directors have also considered that theConsolidated Entity is in a net current asset deficiency position of $15.5 million at reporting date.Notwithstanding global economic challenges, the Directors remain confident that the Consolidated Entity will be able tocontinue as a going concern. This assumes the Consolidated Entity will be able to continue trading, realise assets anddischarge liabilities in the ordinary course of business for at least 12 months from the date of the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements. In reaching this position, the following factors have been considered: the Consolidated Entity has a cash balance totaling $100.8 million;the Consolidated Entity produced positive operating cash flows of $145.6 million (2021: $139.7 million);the Consolidated Entity is in a net current liabilities position due to the capitalisation of lease commitments. Thecorresponding right of use asset is classified as a non-current asset. Net current liabilities are impacted by thecurrent position of lease liabilities of $89.4 million which is forecast to be funded out of operating cash flows;the Consolidated Entity has no external debt; andthe Consolidated Entity has net assets of $198.3 million as at reporting date.NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCHAIRMAN’S MESSAGECEO'S MESSAGECORPORATE GOVERNANCEREMUNERATION REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOTHER INFORMATIONSERVCORP I ANNUAL REPORT 2022YEAR IN REVIEWFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022a Basis for consolidation (continued)The Consolidated Financial Statements include the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on whichthe Company obtains control, and until such time as the Company ceases to control an entity. In preparing theConsolidated Financial Statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealised profits arising areeliminated in full.bInvestment in joint ventureA joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to thenet assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement,which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.The results and assets and liabilities of a joint venture are incorporated in these Consolidated Financial Statementsusing the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in a joint venture is initially recognisedin the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the ConsolidatedEntity’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture.An investment in a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method of accounting from the date on which theinvestees became a joint venture.The requirements of AASB 9 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss withrespect to the Consolidated Entity’s investment in a joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of theinvestment is tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 as a single asset by comparing its recoverableamount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment lossrecognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised inaccordance with AASB 136 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment substantially increases.cGoodwillGoodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially recognised at cost, representing the excess ofthe cost of acquisition over the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired.Goodwill is not amortised, but is tested for impairment at each reporting date and whenever there is an indication thatgoodwill may be impaired. Any impairment of goodwill is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Statement ofProfit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and is not subsequently reversed. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Consolidated Entity’s CGU, or groups ofCGUs, expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Each CGU or group of CGUs to which thegoodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internalmanagement purposes, and is not larger than an operating segment of the Consolidated Entity. CGUs (or groups ofCGUs) to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events orchanges in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Please refer to note 14 for further details. If the recoverable amount of the CGU (or group of CGUs) is less than the carrying amount of the CGU, the impairmentloss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (or group of CGUs) and then tothe other assets of the CGUs pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU (or group ofCGUs). On disposal of an operation within a CGU, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determinationof the profit or loss on disposal of the operation.dImpairment of non-financial assetsThe carrying value of tangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with the recoverable amountbeing estimated when there is indications that the carrying value may be impaired. Where the asset does not generatecash flows that are independent from other assets, the Consolidated Entity estimates the recoverable amount of theCGU to which the asset belongs.Intangible assets with undefined useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment ateach reporting date and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022Critical accounting estimates and judgements(continued)The following are the critical judgements that management has made in the process of applying the accountingpolicies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements.ImpairmentIn assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or Cash Generating Unit(CGU) based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relatesto assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.As a consequence of the global economic environment, significant judgement has been exercised in determining keyassumptions for impairment testing and their sensitivity to change.If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recognised in the profit orloss, and the carrying value of the asset is written-down to its recoverable amount. Should the recoverable amountincrease in future years the carrying value may be adjusted to the lower of the recoverable value or the amortised costof the asset had it not been impaired. The specific impairment test applied are detailed in the accompanying notes 13and 14.Expected credit loss provisionTo assess for any expected credit losses under AASB 9, there is consideration around the probability of default uponinitial recognition of the asset, and subsequent consideration as to whether there have been any significant increasesin credit risk on an ongoing basis at each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in creditrisk the Consolidated Entity compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the riskof default as at the date of initial recognition.AASB 9 requires the Consolidated Entity to measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equalto the lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantlysince initial recognition, or if the financial instrument is a purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset.However, if the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition (except for apurchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset), the Consolidated Entity is required to measure the lossallowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12 months ECL. AASB 9 also allows a simplifiedapproach for measuring the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime ECL for trade receivables, contract assetsand lease receivables in certain circumstances.Executive share option schemeTo calculate the expense for equity settled share based payments, the fair value of the equity instruments at grant datehas to be estimated. The fair value is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Key judgements andassumptions include exercise price, vesting and performance criteria, share price at grant date, volatility, distributionyield and risk-free interest rate. These judgements and assumptions relating to fair value measurement may impact theexpense taken to profit or loss and reserves. Refer to note 21 and the Remuneration Report.aBasis for consolidationThe Consolidated Financial Statements incorporate the Financial Statements of the Company and entities controlledby the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company has the power, rights to variable returns andthe ability to use its power to affect the amount of the returns. Consistent accounting policies are employed in thepreparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at thedate of acquisition. Any excess in the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired isrecognised as goodwill. If, after reassessment, the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the cost ofacquisition, the difference is credited to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other ComprehensiveIncome in the period of acquisition.

Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022g Foreign currency transactions and balancesTransactionsForeign currency transactions are translated to Australian currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of thetransactions. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at reporting date are translated at the rates ofexchange ruling on that date.Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rates existing at reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at therates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms ofhistorical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated.Exchange differences are recognised in profit and loss in the year in which they arise except exchange differences onmonetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned or likely tooccur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Such exchange differences are recognised in theforeign currency translation reserve and in the profit and loss on disposal of the net investment.When a foreign operation is reconsolidated or borrowings that form part of the net investment are repaid, thecumulative exchange differences are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and OtherComprehensive Income as part of the gain or loss on sale.Translation of controlled foreign entitiesThe individual financial statements of each controlled foreign entity are presented in its functional currency, being thecurrency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. For the purpose of the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in Australian dollars, which is thefunctional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the Consolidated Financial Statements.The assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange differences arising ontranslation are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve.The balance of the foreign currency translation reserve relating to an overseas operation that is disposed of isrecognised in the profit and loss in the period of disposal.hBorrowing costsBorrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, and amortisation ofancillary costs using the effective interest rate method in connection with the arrangement of borrowings. Borrowingcosts are expensed to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as incurred.iIncome taxCurrent income taxCurrent income tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income tax payable or recoverable in respect of thetaxable profit or loss for the year. Income tax is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted by the reporting date. Current income tax for current and prior year is recognised as a liability orasset to the extent that it is unpaid or refundable.Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022d Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing the value in use, theestimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value by using a post-tax discount rate that reflects the timevalue of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount ofthe asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount.Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased to therevised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceedthe carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or CGU)in prior years. A reversal of the impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss andOther Comprehensive Income immediately.eRevenue recognitionRental and service revenueRental revenue from leases with customers in the capacity as lessor, is accounted for in accordance with AASB 16 ona straight line basis according to contractual terms. The Consolidated Entity adopted AASB 16 for the first time on 1July 2019. Services revenue, communications revenue and franchise fees are accounted for according to AASB 15 Revenue fromContracts with Customers (AASB 15).Service revenue comprises revenue earned from telephone, communications, service and franchise fees net of theamount of goods and services tax from the provision of services to entities outside the Consolidated Entity. Servicesrevenue are typically invoiced in advance and are recognised in the period in which the services are provided. Theservices provided under contract are provided over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes thebenefit of the service. The contract liability associated with consideration received in advanced has been presented asdeferred contract liabilities in the trade and other payables balance on the Consolidated Statement of FinancialPosition.fOther income/expenseInterest incomeInterest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.Disposal of assetsThe profit and loss on disposal of assets is brought to account when the significant risks and rewards of ownership arepassed to a party external to the Consolidated Entity.Government grantsGovernment grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Consolidated Entity will complywith the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. Grants are accounted for on a gross basis inrevenue and expenses by the Consolidated Entity.NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCHAIRMAN’S MESSAGECEO'S MESSAGECORPORATE GOVERNANCEREMUNERATION REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOTHER INFORMATIONSERVCORP I ANNUAL REPORT 2022YEAR IN REVIEWFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022i Income tax (continued)Tax consolidationThe Company and all its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax consolidated group underAustralian taxation law. Servcorp Limited is the head entity in the tax consolidated group. Tax expense/income,deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the taxconsolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax consolidated groupusing the separate taxpayer within group approach. Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arisingfrom unused tax losses and tax credits of the members of the tax consolidated group are recognised by the Company.Under this method, each entity is subject to tax as part of the tax consolidated group.Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between entities in the tax consolidated group, amounts arerecognised as payable to or receivable by the Company, and each member of the tax consolidated group in relation tothe tax contribution amounts paid or payable between the parent entity, and the other members of the tax consolidatedgroup in accordance with the arrangement. Where the tax contribution amount recognised by each member of the taxconsolidated group for a particular period is different to the aggregate of the current tax liability or asset and anydeferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in respect of that period, the difference is recognisedas a contribution from (or distribution to) equity participants.Goods and services taxRevenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where theamount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). In these circumstances the GST isrecognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense.Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST.The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in theConsolidated Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flowson a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which arerecoverable from or payable to the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.jFinancial instrumentsFinancial instruments are recognised initially on the date that the Consolidated Entity becomes party to the contractualprovisions of the instrument.On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for instrumentsmeasured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).Financial assetsAll recognised financial assets that are within the scope of AASB 9 are required to be initially recognised at fair valueand subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value on the basis of the entity’s business model for managingthe financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The classification of financial assets depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined atthe time of initial recognition. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising onremeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividendor interest earned on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 26.Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022i Income tax (continued)Deferred tax assets and liabilitiesDeferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporarydifferences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated FinancialStatements and the corresponding tax base of those items.In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets arerecognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arisesfrom the initial recognition of assets and liabilities, other than as a result of a business combination, which affectsneither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxabletemporary differences arising from goodwill.Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries,branches and associates except where the Consolidated Entity is able to control the reversal of the temporarydifferences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred taxassets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments are only recognised to theextent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise benefits of the temporarydifferences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the assetsand liabilities giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted orsubstantially enacted by the reporting date.The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from themanner in which the Consolidated Entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of itsassets and liabilities.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority andthe Consolidated Entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.Current and deferred tax for the yearCurrent and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss andOther Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case thedeferred tax is also recognised in equity.Tax losses and uncertain tax mattersDeferred tax assets for the carry forward of unused tax losses are recognised to the extent that it is probable thatfuture taxable profits will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Thisis assessed at each reporting date. Further information is set out in note 10. The Consolidated Entity operates across many tax jurisdictions. Application of tax law can be complex and requiresjudgement to assess risk and estimate outcomes. Judgements are required about the application of income taxlegislation and its interaction with income tax accounting principles. There are no material uncertain tax positions thatwe are aware of as at the date of this report.NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCHAIRMAN’S MESSAGECEO'S MESSAGECORPORATE GOVERNANCEREMUNERATION REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOTHER INFORMATIONSERVCORP I ANNUAL REPORT 2022YEAR IN REVIEWFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022k Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments which are readilyconvertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.Bank overdrafts also form part of cash equivalents for the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows andare presented within current liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.lProvisionsProvisions are recognised when the Consolidated Entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of pastevents, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliablymeasured.Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the outflow required to settle theobligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used is a pre-tax rate that reflects current marketassessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to theunwinding of the discount is taken to finance costs in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and OtherComprehensive Income.mShare based paymentsThe Board may grant options to eligible executives in accordance with the Servcorp Executive Share Option Scheme.These equity settled share based payments are non-market based and have earnings per share performance hurdlesfor the vesting of options.Equity settled share based payments with employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at thegrant date. Fair value is measured by use of a Black Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has beenadjusted, based on management’s best estimate for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, andbehavioural considerations.The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is expensed on a straight linebasis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest.At each reporting date, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments that are expected tovest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss, with a correspondingadjustment to the equity settled employee benefits reserve.nProperty, plant and equipmentRecognition and measurementProperty, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulatedimpairment losses.Subsequent expenditureSubsequent costs are capitalised when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item willflow to the entity and the cost can be measured reliably. Where these costs represent separate components of acomplex asset, they are accounted for as separate assets and are separately depreciated over their useful lives. Rentincurred in bringing floors to a state of operational readiness is capitalised to leasehold improvements and depreciatedover the useful life of the asset. Costs incurred on property, plant and equipment, which do not meet the criteria for capitalisation, are expensed asincurred.Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022j Financial instruments (continued)Financial assets(continued)Other financial assets are classified into the following specified categories:Loans and receivablesTrade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in anactive market are classified as ‘Loans and receivables’ and carried at amortised cost as the assets are held to collectcontractual cash flows. The Consolidated Entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on tradereceivables, loans and other receivables that are measured at amortised cost and, where applicable, contract assets.Changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition ofthe financial assets. It is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised. Trade debtors to be settled within 30 days are carried at amounts due. AASB 9 impairment requirements use forward-looking information when determining expected credit losses. The expected credit loss model requires theConsolidated Entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at eachreporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial assets.Impairment of financial assetsThe Consolidated Entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measuredat amortised cost. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in creditrisk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. Effective interest methodThe effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocatinginterest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that will exactly discount estimated futurecash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transactioncosts and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or, where appropriate, a shorterperiod.Financial liabilitiesThe Consolidated Entity measures all financial liabilities initially at fair value less transaction costs, subsequentlyfinancial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.The financial liabilities of the Consolidated Entity comprise trade payables, bank and other loans and lease liabilities.Liabilities are recognised for amounts payable in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to theConsolidated Entity. Trade accounts payable are normally settled within 60 days.Derivative financial instrumentsThe Consolidated Entity enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreignexchange rates. Further details of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in note 24 to the ConsolidatedFinancial Report. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequentlyremeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised immediately in the profitor loss.NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCHAIRMAN’S MESSAGECEO'S MESSAGECORPORATE GOVERNANCEREMUNERATION REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOTHER INFORMATIONSERVCORP I ANNUAL REPORT 2022YEAR IN REVIEWFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022oIntangible assets(continued)Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of the intangible assets over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.The estimated useful lives are as follows:Asset classAmortisation rateInternally developed software4 yearsAmortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangementsSaaS arrangements are service contracts providing the Consolidated Entity with the right to access the cloudprovider’s application software over the contract period. As such the Consolidated Entity does not receive a softwareintangible asset at the contract commencement date.For SaaS arrangements, the Consolidated Entity assesses if the contract involves a software that it can ‘control’ todetermine whether an intangible asset is present. If the Consolidated Entity cannot determine control of the software,the arrangement is deemed a service contract and any implementation costs including cost of configuration andcustomisation of the software are recognised as operating expenses when incurred.pLeasesThe Consolidated Entity as lesseeThe Consolidated Entity assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. For leasearrangements in which the Consolidated Entity is a lessee, a right of use asset and a corresponding liability isrecognised at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Consolidated Entity. When the contract does not exceed 12 months the lease is classified as short term in nature and not recognised interms if IFRS 16. Lease payments are expensed in profit and loss. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is achange in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the ConsolidatedEntity’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Consolidated Entitychanges its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or lossover the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability foreach period. 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, less any lease incentives receivables;variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;the exercised price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; andpayments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the term reflects the lessee exercising that option.The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022n Property, plant and equipment (continued)DepreciationItems of property, plant and equipment, including buildings and leasehold property but excluding freehold land, aredepreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciatedover the useful life of the asset using the straight line method.Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period the assets will be utilised by the Consolidated Entity and iscalculated based on each lease term contract and renewal options. The estimated useful lives used for each class of asset are as follows:Fixed asset classDepreciation rateBuildings40 yearsLeasehold improvementsUseful life of the assetOffice furniture and fittings7.7 yearsOffice equipment3 - 4 yearsSoftware3.7 yearsMotor Vehicles6.7 yearsThe estimated useful lives, residual value and depreciation methods are reviewed annually and, where changed, areaccounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Where depreciation rates or methods are changed, the net writtendown value of the asset is depreciated from the date of the change in accordance with the new depreciation rate ormethod.Assets are depreciated from the date of acquisition or from the time an asset is completed and ready for use.The estimation of the useful lives and residual values of leasehold improvement assets has been based on historicalexperience and lease terms (for leasehold improvements). In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at leastannually and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful lives and residual values are madewhen considered necessary.Derecognition and disposalAn item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefitsare expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as thedifference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is recorded in profit and loss in theyear the asset is derecognised.oIntangible assetsIntangible assets relate to internally developed software and is initially recognised at cost.Development expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process istechnically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the the Consolidated Entity intendsto and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognised inprofit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost lessaccumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.Subsequent to initial recognition the intangible assets is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairmentlosses.NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCHAIRMAN’S MESSAGECEO'S MESSAGECORPORATE GOVERNANCEREMUNERATION REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOTHER INFORMATIONSERVCORP I ANNUAL REPORT 2022YEAR IN REVIEWFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022p Leases (continued)The practical expedient utilised by the Consolidated Entity only applies to rent concessions as a consequence ofCOVID-19 that meet all of the following conditions:the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, orless than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022;there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions.The Consolidated Entity applied the practical expedient to the lease agreements where Rent Reductions werenegotiated and accounted for the forgiveness or waiver of lease payments as a variable lease payment. TheConsolidated Entity has therefore derecognised that part of the lease liability that has been extinguished by theforgiveness of lease payments with a corresponding credit in profit or loss, presented in occupancy expense, thetiming of which will depend on the facts and circumstances.The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in amendments to accounting standards to provide lessees with a practicalexpedient not to assess whether COVID-19 related rent concessions are lease modifications and allows lessees toaccount for such rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. In May 2020, amendments to AASB 16 were issued “COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions" (the 2020 amendments).The 2020 amendmentsintroduced an optional practical expedient that simplifies how a lessee accounts for rentconcessions that are a direct consequence of COVID-19. Under that practical expedient, a lessee is not required toassess whether eligible rent concessions are lease modifications, instead accounting for them in accordance withother applicable guidance.The practical expedient introduced in the 2020 amendments only applies to rent concessions for which any reductionin lease payments affects solely payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021. The economic challengespresented by the COVID-19 pandemic have persisted longer than anticipated. As a result, lessors and lessees arenegotiating rent concessions that extend beyond 30 June 2021. The practical expedient has been extended by 12months and permits lessees to apply it to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects onlypayments originally due on or before 30 June 2022.Multiple lease term amendments (referred to Modifications as described above) have been accounted for as a leasemodification to the existing lease by remeasuring the lease liability using a revised discount rate with thecorresponding change in lease liability reflected against the right of use asset.The Consolidated Entity as lessorThe Consolidated Entity’s principal activities are the provision of Executive Serviced and Virtual Offices, Coworkingand IT, Communications and Secretarial Services. The Consolidated Entity classifies and accounts for these leases asoperating sublease agreements under AASB 16, when entering into sub-lease arrangements for properties. Due to the short-term nature of lease agreements where the Consolidated Entity is the lessor, no modifications tocontractual lease terms were negotiated with tenants as a result of the impact of COVID-19.Make good provisionsAt each reporting date, management reviews the portfolio of make good obligations based on the estimated cost andthe likelihood of incurring these costs. The provision for lease make good represents the present value of theestimated costs to make good the premises leased by the Consolidated Entity at the end of the respective lease terms.Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022p Leases (continued)The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, thelessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the fundsnecessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability(using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.The Consolidated Entity recognises right of use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date theunderlying asset is available for use), measured at cost.The cost of right of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, andlease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right of use assetsare subsequently measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and are adjusted forany remeasurement of lease liabilities. Whenever the Consolidated Entity incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore thesite on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of thelease, a provision is recognised and measured under AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and ContingentAssets (AASB 137). To the extent that the costs relate to a right of use asset, the costs are included in the related rightof use asset.Right of use assets are depreciated over the lease term of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of theunderlying asset or the cost of the right of use asset reflects that the Consolidated Entity expects to exercise apurchase option, the related right of use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. Thedepreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.The right of use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises:the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives and any initial directcosts incurred by the lessee; andan estimate of the costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset.Subsequently the right of use asset is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses andadjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.Right of use assets are subject to impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets (AASB 136). Anyidentified impairment loss is accounted for in line with our accounting policy for ‘Property, plant and equipment’.COVID-19 Related rent concessionsThe Consolidated Entity as lesseeThe Consolidated Entity is currently party to a lease portfolio of 120 leases as lessee. As a result of the COVID-19pandemic, the Consolidated Entity negotiated a range of concessions and modifications to lease terms with thelessors. The resultant outcome of concessions and varied lease terms fall in two categories:reduced rentals for a period of time ranging from 1 to 12 months and no amendments to any other contractualterms of the lease (Rent Reductions); andreduced rentals for a period of time ranging from 1 to 36 months, but with several other changes to termsnegotiated resulting in substantive modifications to the original lease agreement (Modifications).NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCHAIRMAN’S MESSAGECEO'S MESSAGECORPORATE GOVERNANCEREMUNERATION REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOTHER INFORMATIONSERVCORP I ANNUAL REPORT 2022YEAR IN REVIEWFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Thesegment manager has regular contact with the chief operating decision makers to discuss operating activities, financialresults, forecasts, or plans for the segment. The chief operating decision makers are responsible for performancemonitoring and resource allocation amongst operating segments.In line with the requirements under AASB 8 Operating Segments (AASB 8), four reportable segments are identified:Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia (ANZ/SEA); United States of America (USA); Europe and Middle East(EME); North Asia. Information about other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable underthe four reportable segments identified under AASB 8 is aggregated and disclosed as Other.The Consolidated Entity’s reportable operating segments under AASB 8 are presented below. The accounting policiesof the reportable operating segments are the same as the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies. Intersegmentsales were eliminated in full.For the year ended 30 June 2022, the Consolidated Entity’s Virtual Office revenue and Serviced Office revenue were$82.0 million and $189.7 million respectively (2021: $80.1 million and $189.6 million, respectively).Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2022q Employee benefitsWages, salaries and annual leaveThe provision for employee benefits in respect of wages, salaries and annual leave represents the amount which theConsolidated Entity has a present obligation to pay resulting from employees’ services provided up to the reportingdate. Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months, are measured attheir nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Long service leaveThe provision for employee benefits in respect of long service leave represents the present value of the estimatedfuture cash outflows to be made by the Consolidated Entity resulting from employees’ services provided up to thereporting date. Provisions for employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within twelve months are discounted using therates attaching to national government securities at the reporting date which most closely match the terms of maturityof the related liabilities.In determining the provision for employee benefits, consideration has been given to future increases in wage andsalary rates, and the Consolidated Entity’s experience with staff departures. Related on-costs have also been includedin the liability.Contributions to Australian superannuation fundsThe Company and other Australian controlled entities contribute to defined contribution superannuation plans.Contributions are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as theyare incurred.rEarnings per shareBasic earnings per shareBasic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to members of the Consolidated Entity for the year by theweighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company.Diluted earnings per shareDiluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the basic EPS earnings by the effect of conversion to ordinary shares of theassociated dilutive potential ordinary shares. The notional earnings on the funds that would have been received by theentity had the potential ordinary shares been converted are not included.The diluted EPS weighted average number of shares includes the number of shares assumed to be issued for noconsideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.The identification of dilutive potential ordinary shares is based on net profit or loss from continuing ordinary operationsand is applied on a cumulative basis, taking into account the incremental earnings and incremental number of sharesfor each series of potential ordinary shares. There is no impact on diluted EPS resulting from shares under option.NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCHAIRMAN’S MESSAGECEO'S MESSAGECORPORATE GOVERNANCEREMUNERATION REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOTHER INFORMATIONSERVCORP I ANNUAL REPORT 2022YEAR IN REVIEWFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Receivables are initially recognised atfair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any loss allowance. Allreceivables with maturities greater than 12 months after balance date are classified as non-current. The decrease inprovisions during the year ended 30 June 2022 represents Management’s judgement based on information availableat the time on the impact of economic conditions and the recoverability of debtors. The decrease of $1.9 million (2021:increase $2.1 million) was recognised through the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other ComprehensiveIncome during the year. Considering the current economic environment and global disruptions, the Consolidated Entity reviewed therecoverability of its debtor profile and is satisfied with the expected credit-loss for the financial year ended 30 June2022. The recoverability of outstanding balances are estimated to have improved from prior year. Historically theoverall debtor profile of the Consolidated Entity has not incurred significant credit losses and continues to maintainsignificant customer deposits as additional security in the rare event of non-performance of customer contracts.9Other financial assets2022$ '0002021$ '000CurrentAt fair value through profit or lossInvestment in bank hybrid variable rate securities4,40810,759Listed ordinary shares3,056-At amortised costLease deposits2,3901,7369,85412,495Non-currentAt fair value through profit or lossForward foreign currency exchange contracts7661,216At amortised costLease deposits38,69640,027Other1,0091,01740,47142,260Australia has $0.7 million in securities which is encumbered (2021: $7.6 million).NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCHAIRMAN’S MESSAGECEO'S MESSAGECORPORATE GOVERNANCEREMUNERATION REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOTHER INFORMATIONSERVCORP I ANNUAL REPORT 2022YEAR IN REVIEWFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 202214 Goodwill (continued)The Consolidated Entity tested goodwill for impairment as at 30 June 2022. The recoverable amount of a CGU orgroup of CGUs to which goodwill is allocated is determined based on the greater of its value in use and its fair valueless costs of disposal. Fair value is determined as being the amount obtainable from the sale of a CGU in an arm’slength transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. If relevant, this fair value assessment less costs ofdisposal is conducted by management based on extensive knowledge of the industry including the current marketconditions prevailing. The value in use (ViU) assessment is conducted using a discounted cash flow methodologyrequiring the Directors to estimate the discounted future cash flows expected to arise from the CGU. When applying the ViU approach to calculate the recoverable amount for each CGU, the Consolidated Entityincorporates the use of projected financial information and a discount rate that are developed using market participantbased assumptions. The cash-flow projections are based on five-year financial forecasts developed by managementthat include revenue projections, capital spending trends, and investment in working capital to support anticipatedrevenue growth. The selected discount rate considers the risk and nature of the respective reporting unit’s cash flowsand the rates of return market participants would require to invest their capital in the Consolidated Entity's reportingunits. The Consolidated Entity's methodology for determining recoverable amounts remained consistent for the yearspresented. The following key assumptions have been used in calculating the ViU for each country:future cash flows are based on forecasts prepared by management. The model excludes cost savings andrestructurings that are anticipated but had not been committed to at the date of the determination of the ViU;these forecasts exclude the impact of acquisitive growth expected to take place in future periods;management considers these forecasts to be a reasonable projection of margins. Cash flows beyond 30 June2022 have been extrapolated using a nil growth rate which management believes is a reasonable long-termgrowth rate for any of the markets in which the Consolidated Entity operates. A nil terminal value is included in theassessment, reflecting the Consolidated Entity’s expectation that it will continue to operate in these markets andthe long-term nature of the businesses; andthe Consolidated Entity applies a country specific post-tax discount rate to the post-tax cash flows for eachcountry. The country specific discount rate is based on the underlying weighted average cost of capital (WACC)for the Consolidated Entity. The WACC is then adjusted for each country to reflect the assessed market riskspecific to that country.The recoverable amount of goodwill relating to each group of CGU was determined based on ViU calculations, whichis based on a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis by discounting the estimated future cash flows over the next fiveyear to their present value in order to estimate the value-in-use. Cash flows beyond the five year period have beenextrapolated using estimated nil growth rates (2021: nil growth rate).For the year ended 30 June 2022, the post-tax discount rate applied to the above countries ranged from 3.9%-12.0%(2021: 3.5%-11.0%).Downside sensitivity analysis has been performed on the assumptions used in the model and concluded that there isno risk of impairment as at 30 June 2022. The Consolidated Entity undertook a valuation at 30 June 2022 updated forthe continued global economic uncertainty and its impact on the business. The valuation updates includedassumptions regarding revenue, operating expenses, capital expenditure and interest rates. The Consolidated Entity has considered the impairment testing undertaken and disclosures made in relation to thevalue of the Company’s goodwill and has challenged the key assumptions made by management in their valuationmethodology. The Consolidated Entity considers that an appropriately cautious approach has been used bymanagement and is satisfied that no impairment of goodwill is required.Servcorp LimitedNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 202213 Right of use assets (continued)Right of use assets and leasehold improvements are assessed for indicators of impairment under AASB 136. Whereimpairment indicators exist, the CGU is tested for impairment. This test has respective assets grouped into CGUs todetermine its “Value in Use” (ViU). The ViU assessment is conducted using a discounted cash flow methodologyrequiring the Directors to estimate the discounted future cash flows expected to arise from the respective CGU. Whenapplying the ViU approach to calculate the recoverable amount for each CGU, we deduct the carrying amount of thelease liability both from the CGU’s carrying amount and from its ViU. The prolonged effects of the current global economic conditions, including extended preventative COVID-19 measuresin some of the Consolidated Entity’s markets, is expected to continue to impact the business in the financial year to 30June 2023. As a result of these conditions, the Consolidated Entity carried out a comprehensive review for potentialimpairments across the whole portfolio at a CGUs level. Impairment tests for right of use assets are performed on a CGU basis when impairment triggers arise. CGUs aredefined as individual cities, being the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash flows that are largelyindependent of other groups of assets. The Consolidated Entity assesses whether there is an indication that a CGUmay be impaired, including persistent operating losses, net cash outflows and poor performance against forecasts.The recoverable amounts of right of use assets are based on the higher of fair value less costs to sell and ViU. TheConsolidated Entity considered both fair value less costs to dispose and ViU in the impairment testing on a city by citylevel. Value in use calculations are based on cash flow projections and discount rates that are developed using marketparticipant based assumptions for items of right of use assets. The post-tax WACC used in the Consolidated Entity’scalculations range between 7.1% and 12.0% (2021: 4.9% and 11.0%). Impairment charges are recognised within theConsolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Based on the approach discussed above, no material impairment risks were identified from the assessment or thedownside stress test, therefore no impairment loss was raised for the year ended 30 June 2022. Given the continueduncertainty in global economic conditions no previously recognised impairment loss was reversed.14GoodwillAllocation of goodwill to cash generating unitsEach of the following countries is a stand-alone CGU: Japan, Australia, New Zealand, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Belgium, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar,Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Lebanon, Turkey, France, Germany, United States of America, Kuwait and United Kingdom.Goodwill was allocated to the CGU in which goodwill arose.

The Consolidated Entity has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterpartiesand obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas.Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable. The Consolidated Entity doesnot have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of any counterparties havingsimilar characteristics. Security deposits are received from customers when entering into a contract which reduces thecredit risk. Security deposits held are disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.Credit risk on cash and short-term fixed deposits is limited because counterparties are banks with high credit ratingsassigned by international credit rating agencies. These liquid funds are managed centrally by the Company’s seniormanagement on a daily basis.25Retrospective restatementCorrection of error - AASB 16 restatementDuring the year, the Consolidated Entity identified certain errors with the lease accounting which, whilst not material tothe Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, have been corrected in the prior year balances.These corrections relate to:revision of the lease commencement dates as per AASB 16 Leases to earlier dates where the Consolidated Entityhad access to the leased premises prior to the rent commencement dates to perform office fit-out work;correction of errors in the inputs used in the calculation of lease balances under AASB 16 Leases. These includeerrors in lease payment amounts, annual increase rates, and incremental borrowing rate used to discount thelease payments; andcorrection of the treatment of lease incentives with a number of leases.The majority of the errors identified relate to leases that existed on initial adoption of AASB 16 Leases on 1 July 2019.If these errors had been identified by the Consolidated Entity on the initial adoption of AASB 16 Leases, different rightof use assets, lease liabilities, and opening retained earnings impact would have been recorded.Change in accounting policies - Cloud computing adjustmentsOn 27 April 2021, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) issued an addendumregarding the treatment of “Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”. The addendumclarified how a customer should account for the cost of configuring or customising a supplier’s software when it is a“Software as a Service” (SaaS) product.The IFRIC concluded that configuration or customisation costs incurred by a customer in relation to applicationsoftware which the customer has access to but does not own, should be expensed through profit or loss as these costsdo not create a resource controlled by the customer which is separate from the software unless they are paid to thesuppliers of the SaaS arrangement to significantly customise the cloud-based software for the the Consolidated Entity,in which case the costs are recorded as a prepayment for services and amortised over the expected renewable term ofthe arrangement.Following an assessment of the applicable costs incurred, the Consolidated Entity has retrospectively changed itsaccounting policy in respect of SaaS arrangements previously recorded as office equipment and software included inthe balance for property, plant and equipment. Software costs that meet the capitalisation requirements have beenreclassified as intangible assets. Cost incurred that do not meet the requirements have been expensed.NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCHAIRMAN’S MESSAGECEO'S MESSAGECORPORATE GOVERNANCEREMUNERATION REPORTDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOTHER INFORMATIONSERVCORP I ANNUAL REPORT 2022YEAR IN REVIEWFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

REMUNERATION REPORT
FINANCIAL REPORT
Key Audit Matters
The Key Audit Matters we identified are:
• Accounting for leases; and
• Recoverability of right-of-use assets and
leasehold improvements.
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in
our professional judgement, were of most
significance in our audit of the Financial Report
of the current year.
These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and
in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Accounting for leases (Right-of-use assets $260m and lease liability $311m)
Refer to Note 13 ‘Right of use assets’ and Note 16 ‘Lease Liabilities’ in the Financial Report
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Accounting for leases is a key audit matter due
to the:
• significance of leases to the financial
statements; and
•
large volume of individualised lease
agreements which increase the complexity
and judgement required by management in
determining the right-of-use asset and lease
liability balances.
We focused our testing on the accounting for
leases that were new, renewed and modified
during the financial year.
The Consolidated Entity, when calculating the
right-of-use asset and lease liability balances,
applied judgement to determine the effective
date, expected lease term, incremental
borrowing rate (IBR), and application of the rent
review terms and lease incentives. These were
key features subject to our audit testing.
We involved our senior audit team members in
assessing this key audit matter, along with our
debt advisory specialists.
Our procedures included:
• Assessing the appropriateness of the
Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies
against the requirements of the accounting
standard (AASB 16 Leases) and our
understanding of the business.
• Assessing the completeness of the
Consolidated Entity’s leases by:
– For each location published on the
Servcorp global website, we checked
for a corresponding lease at the location
to the Consolidated Entity’s lease
listing.
Checking new or terminated leases
noted in Board minutes were
appropriately captured or disposed of in
the Consolidated Entity’s lease listing.
-
• For new, renewed and modified leases, we:
-
Compared the key inputs used in the
Consolidated Entity’s lease calculation
model including the effective date,
expected lease term, fixed rent
payments, rent review terms, lease
incentives and renewal options, to
underlying source documents including
the current lease agreements.
- Using the above key inputs and adopted
incremental borrowing rate (IBR), we
recalculated the lease balances
including the right-of-use asset, lease
liability, depreciation and interest
expense.

challenging market conditions; and
business performance.
• Discount rates - these are subjective in
nature and vary according to the specific
conditions and environment of the relevant
CGU. We involve our valuations specialists
with this assessment.
The Consolidated Entity has a high number of
individual CGUs during the year necessitating
our consideration of the Consolidated Entity’s
determination of CGUs, based on the smallest
group of assets to generate largely independent
cash inflows.
The Consolidated Entity has not recorded any
impairment in this financial year.
• We challenged the Consolidated Entity’s
significant forecast cash flow and growth
assumptions, such as pricing and occupancy
rates, in light of expected continuation of
challenging market conditions. We used our
knowledge of the Consolidated Entity, their
past performance, business and customers,
and our industry experience.
• Working with our valuation specialists, we
independently developed a discount rate
range using publicly available market data
for comparable entities, adjusted by risk
factors specific to the Consolidated Entity
and the industry it operates in.
• We considered the sensitivity of the models
by varying key assumptions, such as
forecast pricing and occupancy growth rates
and discount rates, within a reasonably
possible range. We did this to identify those
CGUs at higher risk of impairment and to
focus our further procedures.
• We considered the Consolidated Entity’s
determination of their CGUs based on our
understanding of the operations of the
Consolidated Entity’s business, and how
independent cash inflows were generated,
against the requirements of the accounting
standards.
• We assessed the disclosures in the financial
report using our understanding of the
information obtained from our testing and
against the requirements of the accounting
standards.
-
Compared our re-calculated lease
balances to the amounts recorded by
the Consolidated Entity for the financial
year and investigated any significant
variances.
• Working together with our debt advisory
specialists, we independently assessed
against accounting standard requirements
Servcorp’s methodology to determine the
IBRs including reference rates and credit
spreads applied.
• We assessed the financial statement
disclosures in the financial report using our
understanding obtained from our testing,
against the accounting standard
requirements.
Recoverability of right-of-use assets ($260m) and leasehold improvements ($61m)
Refer to Note 11 ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and Note 13 ‘Right of use assets’ in the Financial
Report
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
The recoverability of right-of-use assets and
leasehold improvements is a key audit matter
due to:
•
•
the significance of these assets to the
financial statements; and
the continuing impact of the COVID-19 and
the emerging economic challenges on the
business globally.
We focused on the significant forward-looking
assumptions the Consolidated Entity applied in
its value-in-use (VIU) model, including:
• Forecast pricing and occupancy growth
rates – these assumptions are influenced by
duration, renewal and terms of tenant
contracts, demand from tenants,
competitive market conditions and the
current economic outlook on each Cash
Generating Unit (CGU);
• Forecast operating cash flows – estimating
projected cash flow forecasts is inherently
subjective and susceptible to differences in
outcome, in particular due to the ongoing
Our procedures included:
• Together with our valuation specialists, we
assessed the appropriateness of the VIU
methodology applied by the Consolidated
Entity to perform its impairment test against
the requirements of the accounting
standards (AASB 136 Impairment of assets).
• We assessed the integrity of the VIU model
used, including the accuracy of the
underlying calculation formulas.
• We assessed the accuracy of previous
Consolidated Entity’s forecasts to inform
our evaluation of forecasts incorporated in
the models.
• We compared the forecast cash flows
contained in the VIU model to forecasts
presented to the Board.
• We assessed the Consolidated Entity’s
indicators of impairment analysis for each
cash generating unit (CGU) based on

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Servcorp Limited’s annual reporting
which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are
responsible for the Other Information.
Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do
not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the
Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other
Information. In doing so, we 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.
We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other
Information, and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained
prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The Directors are responsible for:
• preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001;
•
implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error; and
• assessing the Consolidated Entity and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and
whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis
of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Consolidated Entity and Company or
to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objective is:
•
•
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 Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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.
