A$10m

OF LEASE RENTAL 
SAVINGS

“The business and SG Fleet reviewed fleet leasing 
arrangements and looked for potential savings 
by way of rehiring and/or re-extending lease 
terms. This resulted in extending the leases of 
455 passenger and commercial vehicles, which 
has to-date realised a lease rental saving of 
$1.1 million and an expected rental saving of 
$3.3 million by the end of the 2018 financial year. 
Fleet management has now extended this to a 
further 593 commercial and passenger vehicles. 
This exercise will deliver a further net savings of 
$6.8 million across the whole of the life of assets.“

“Thank you for making the experience of obtaining a car through 
SG Fleet such a smooth experience from start to finish. I really appreciate 
your willingness to answer all the questions I had at the very start of 
the process and felt like you had my best interests at heart. Everyone 
has been amazed by the speed and ease with which everything has 
happened and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SG Fleet to anybody. 
I couldn’t be happier with the service and haven’t a bad word to say 
about my experience, so thanks again!“

FLEET MANAGEMENT 
SUPPORT

“Wright Health Group has partnered with SG Fleet 
for the last two years and is in the process of 
completing the transfer of the company’s entire 
fleet of vehicles. On making the decision to 
appoint a provider, our goals were to identify 
a partner that could provide us with a simple, 
competitive and cost effective solution for 
our long and short-term needs, whilst also 
providing additional support for the day-to-day 
management of the fleet. SG Fleet ticked all the 
boxes on this, and our drivers regularly comment 
on the professionalism extended to them by the 
SG Fleet team.”

“NO RISK” 
SOLUTIONS

“The University launched its salary sacrifice 
scheme as part of a wider sustainable travel 
plan. We recognised that some of our 6,000 
employees had no alternative to the car and 
felt a car salary sacrifice scheme could help 
minimise their environmental impact. The 
University was looking to use a provider with 
a “no risk” solution and felt a Novalease type 
structure was the best fit. After researching 
the market, we found only one provider that 
could offer this solution – SG Fleet.“

“Thanks for your assistance. The SG Fleet team have been 
nothing short of brilliant. The process from beginning to 
end has been so flawless and simply outstanding. I have 
already recommended to a couple of other staff that they 
should investigate for themselves. Thanks to all who have 
contributed and for your great service.“

INCREASED WH&S 
COMPLIANCE

“The fleet team, in conjunction 
with SG Fleet, have reduced 
our fleet by 14% and achieved 
$4.7 million in fleet savings in the 
3 years to February 2015. Along 
with these savings, SG Fleet has 
introduced an on-line logbook 
through their innovation process, 
which has increased efficiencies 
as drivers no longer require a 
continuous paper-based log book. Reporting 
dashboards utilise SG Fleet’s driver behaviour 
information to maximise WH&S compliance.“

A Track Record of Innovation

Our leadership in technological innovation is creating measurable value for customers and helps 
us further differentiate our offering.

State-of-the-art systems and applications are no longer an optional luxury. They are fast becoming 
a prerequisite as customer needs become increasingly sophisticated. The expertise we have 
in-house plays a key role in determining what solutions to develop and our product innovation 
track record demonstrates our ability to respond to real demand quickly and efficiently. 

Apple Watch App

SG Fleet already offers a mobile app that makes 
it easy for fleet managers and drivers to accurately 
record, track and manage information about 
their vehicles. The easy-to-use interface provides 
salary package data, a Fringe Benefits Tax planner, 
a vehicle usage logbook, as well as service 
provider and car locators. SG Fleet is now also 
launching this app on the latest Apple Watch.

Fringe Benefits Tax Collector

In New Zealand, SG Fleet has taken the traditionally 
manual, e-mail based FBT data collection process to a 
new level of functionality. Drivers will soon be able to 
submit vehicle usage data from their smartphone via a 
secure web-based platform, ensuring greater accuracy 
of data reporting and reducing time spent on FBT 
administration.

Novalease Calculator

SG Fleet’s soon-to-be-launched Novalease Calculator is a highly 
functional toolkit to help novated drivers in the UK choose the 
right car. The Calculator makes the vehicle selection process 
easier by accessing quotes specific to individual circumstances 
and comparing results.

Next Leap Forward: The Mobility Concept 

At SG Fleet, the culture of forward thinking and innovation is well entrenched. 
We are always monitoring social and technological developments and the role these 
play in demand changes. 

The way people use transport and vehicles continues to evolve and, increasingly, we expect 
an immediate, simple solution to moving from A to B. This creates opportunities for us to build 
on our existing offering.  Efficient fleet management, as we currently provide it, is precisely 
about managing and allocating assets to optimise transport. Our technology is now opening 
up the possibility to organise the transport asset into a true mobility solution.

Greater efficiency, active telematics, 
total connectivity and information 
access allow us to integrate the 
vehicle into a much broader, shared 
transport solution. 

Finding the right vehicle for the 
right transport requirement will 
take into account fundamental 
changes in the cityscape.

At SG Fleet, we believe we can play 
a leading role in developing a more 
efficient and therefore a more 
socially responsible solution for 
mobility needs.

Chairman’s Report

Dear Shareholder

I have the pleasure of presenting to you the SG Fleet 
Group Limited Annual Report for the year ended  
30 June 2015.

applications on a variety of platforms, including 
smartphones and so-called wearables, such as the 
Apple Watch.

The Report is the first to span a full 12-month period 
as last year’s Annual Report only covered the four-month 
period from the date on which your Company started 
trading on the Australian Securities Exchange until the 
end of the 2014 financial year. A constant throughout 
both periods has been our success in exceeding our net 
profit forecasts in a muted operating environment, with 
net profit after tax for the 2015 financial year up more 
than 14% on the previous year. The pleasing consequence 
of this has been another increase in dividends paid to 
you, our shareholders, with the Board confirming a fully 
franked final dividend of 6.117 cents per share, bringing 
the total for the 2015 financial year to 10.842 cents 
per share.

Our ability to offer a superior solution to customers 
has been instrumental in achieving what has been a 
record year for your Company. We intend to maintain 
this competitive advantage by further enhancing our 
understanding of current customer needs as well as 
planning for our future position in this industry, which 
continues to be supported by structural growth trends.

“Our ability to offer a superior solution to customers has 
been instrumental in achieving what has been a record 
year for your Company.”

In line with this, we began the roll-out of a Net Promoter 
Score customer feedback mechanism during the financial 
year. Through this tool, customers provide us with overall 
service ratings as well as insights into the value-add of our 
products and the efficiency of our processes. The response 
has been very encouraging, but we are not resting on our 
laurels. It is important for any company to be confident 
in its offering, yet humble enough to acknowledge 
opportunities for further enhancements. At SG Fleet, 
we do indeed go that extra mile to continuously improve.

A significant part of this ever-present evolution is your 
Company’s drive to maintain its leadership in innovation. 
A common theme of the feedback we receive from 
customers is that our in-house developed technology 
is providing them with unparalleled real time support 
and a wealth of information. Both fleet managers and 
vehicle drivers can access this information via web-based 

“A common theme of the feedback we receive from 
customers is that our in-house developed technology 
is providing them with unparalleled real time support 
and a wealth of information.”

This technological edge has already created a unique 
competitive position for your Company and it is our 
firm intention to enhance this advantage and ensure 
our long-term status as an industry leader. The way 
people use transport and vehicles continues to evolve 
and this creates opportunities for us to build on our 
current offering in a profitable manner and be ready 
to respond to new demand trends as they emerge.

In the context of this rapid development, it is important 
to remember that while technology is becoming 
a commodity, the capability to develop it is not. One of 
the great strengths of SG Fleet – and ultimately a strong 
barrier to entry for competitors – is the quality of our 
people and our ability to drive progress internally. 
Accordingly, talent management, workforce stability 
and succession planning are indeed high priorities 
for your Company. 

During the past year, SG Fleet has settled into life as 
a listed company without disruption. In fact, our listed 
status has been beneficial in terms of our financing and 
has helped us attract the best talent. With this first full 
year behind us, we now aim to build on our momentum 
and maintain our track record of delivering on our 
objectives for customers and for shareholders.

I would like to thank the Directors of the Company’s 
Board for their invaluable contribution during the year, 
as well as Super Group, our majority shareholder, for 
its continued support. I also take the opportunity to 
thank you, our shareholders, for continuing to share 
our exciting journey.

SG Fleet Group Limited

Chief Executive Officer’s Report

Dear Shareholder

I am pleased to report on SG Fleet Group Limited’s 
financial performance for the year ended 30 June 2015.

My review of this financial year will refer for comparison 
to the pro forma financial figures of the preceding 
year. Detailed financial data can be found in the full 
annual report.

A record year

Our first full year as a listed company has been one of 
marked progress on all fronts. It is particularly pleasing 
to see that our momentum coming out of the 2014 
financial year has been maintained, allowing us to beat 
our prospectus profit forecasts by some margin.

Total revenue for the reported period was $171.4 million, 
an increase of 9.5% over the previous financial year. 
This stronger business activity was reflected in an increase 
in expenses of 6.5%, to $112.6 million. Profit before tax 
stood at $58.8 million, 15.7% higher than in the 2014 
financial year. 

Our net profit after tax reached $40.5 million, an increase 
of 14.4% over the prior corresponding period. The 
net profit result exceeded the $39.2 million prospectus 
forecast by 3.3%, delivering on our undertaking at the 
half year to meet or exceed that forecast.

This result translates into earnings per share of 16.7 cents, 
an increase of 14.4% over the prior corresponding period. 
Return on equity came in at a healthy 29.1%.

Revenue growth reflected the increase in total fleet 
size as a result of further customer wins and deeper 
penetration within existing customers. Vehicle deliveries 
were slightly softer than forecast, primarily due to the 
subdued economic environment throughout the financial 
year. However, we compensated for this with stronger 
margins, at 34.3% at the before tax level. Overall, 
profitability has been supported by scale benefits, with the 
‘Fleet per Employee’ ratio improving from 200 to 213.

Management and maintenance income grew 7.0% over 
the prior year, to $64.0 million, in line with the increased 
fleet size noted above. 

Growth in vehicle deliveries, together with greater take-up 
of accessories in our corporate tool-of-trade fleets, 
supported the significant growth in additional products 
and services revenue of 17.0%, to $48.8 million.

Funding commissions revenue grew by 24.2% to 
$29.3 million as a result of growth in novated deliveries 
over the prior corresponding period, as well as stronger 
finance margins. 

As anticipated, end of lease income declined, by 
11.0% to $11.3 million, as residual values continued 
to normalise in line with expectations. In our view, the 
environment is now relatively stable. 

Lower rental income (at $10.8 million, 11.5% below the 
previous corresponding period) reflects the lower number 
of vehicles in inertia as customers replaced them with 
new orders.

The 10.8% growth in other income to $7.2 million was 
driven by higher interest income on cash balances, higher 
early termination income, and higher ad hoc income.

Mixed operational environment

The Company exceeded its prospectus forecasts, which 
were set 20 months earlier, despite a decline in business 
sentiment over most of that period. Some improvement 
was seen in the final months of the 2015 financial year, 
following a well-received Budget and an interest rate cut, 
but the impact of recent events in Greece and concerns 
about the Chinese equity market bubble may yet test this 
fragile recovery. 

On a positive note, the regulatory environment has 
become clearer during the period. No meaningful impact 
was seen from the abandonment of certain vehicle import 
tariffs at the start of the calendar year.

A pattern of occasional aggressive tactics related to 
corporate activity, interspersed amongst predominantly 
rational competitive behaviour, was prevalent throughout 
the reported period.

“The Company exceeded its prospectus forecasts, 
which were set 20 months earlier, despite a decline 
in business sentiment over most of that period.”

Good progress was also made in our salary packaging 
business, both in the corporate and government 
segments. New wins in the business include a Federal 
Government department and the Australian arm of a 
major international professional services firm. These wins 
open further growth avenues, with the latter resulting in 
the signing up of the New Zealand arm of the same firm. 
Novated relationships also often allow us to introduce our 
tool-of-trade solutions. 

United Kingdom and New Zealand

On the topic of our international operations, further 
marked progress was made in both the United Kingdom 
and New Zealand. 

In the UK, business confidence is on the up after a 
decisive election outcome and the operating environment 
for our local business is improving. Interest in our 
innovative salary packaging product has been strong, 
particularly in the not-for-profit segment. We are now 
working hard to improve driver take-up, and the growth 
in the order pipeline is very encouraging. The tool-of-trade 
business also saw a number of sole supply contract wins 
in the corporate space. The current financial year will be 
significant for the future of this business.

“Interest in our innovative salary packaging product has 
been strong, particularly in the not-for-profit segment.” 

In New Zealand, a similar uptick in market activity has 
occurred during the period. The increased recognition 
for our market-leading products has allowed us to win 
some high quality contracts, beating off competition from 
some of the more established players. These wins include 
the management of the build and delivery of specialist 
transport units, a sale and lease back in the IT sector, and 
a number of fully maintained operating lease contracts 
in the industrial sector. 

Chief Executive Officer’s Report

Growth continues

In this environment, the Company has maintained its 
strategic discipline and continued to pursue growth 
through clearly defined channels. Our sales and marketing 
model has been optimised to ensure we target new 
opportunities with greater focus and impact. This 
effort is supported by ongoing product and efficiency 
enhancements in all parts of the business. 

During the reported period, the opportunities pipeline 
remained full and we maintained our strong conversion 
rate in all areas. We were again successful in 
demonstrating the merits of appointing a professional 
external manager to companies that had not previously 
outsourced their fleet management, utilising our 
longstanding experience and cost reduction track record 
as powerful evidence. 

Overall, the structural trend towards outsourcing is 
gathering pace as some of the larger States have started 
to actively solicit input from the industry regarding 
outsourcing options. At the same time, States that already 
outsource are looking to increase the range of services 
we provide. In one such case, an existing Government 
client opted for a higher value-add funding arrangement. 
We are also actively moving existing outsourcers from 
unfunded to funded arrangements. 

Continued above-market share win rates are evidence 
of our strongly differentiated offering, which increasingly is 
allowing us to take customers from competitors. No major 
account losses occurred, confirming our unique industry 
position and the strength of our customer relationships.

Our ability to identify, develop or source attractive 
solutions to emerging customer needs is also supporting 
our effort to offer additional products to these customers. 
Examples of our success in this regard abound across the 
business. In the energy sector, a number of customers 
opted to extend their contracts and include a wider range 
of products. 

“We were again successful in demonstrating the merits 
of appointing a professional external manager to 
companies that had not previously outsourced their fleet 
management, utilising our longstanding experience and 
cost reduction track record as powerful evidence.”

SG Fleet Group Limited

Strategic discipline

Outlook

A common element across all our locations and businesses 
is the constant drive to further improve our offering to 
customers. This takes the form of technological innovation 
of products and services, as well as improved efficiency for 
the processes that support our interaction with customers.

In keeping with our objective to offer cutting edge 
solutions, innovation is continuous at SG Fleet. During 
the year, we further enhanced our telematics offering 
and introduced our proprietary app to wearables such 
as the Apple Watch. We also prepared for the launch 
of a web-based FBT data collector in New Zealand and 
a new version of the Novalease calculator in the UK. 
These are just a few examples of the proprietary and 
market leading technology we make available to fleet 
managers and drivers.

The strict guideline behind our innovation, as well as 
our investigation of opportunities in adjacent activity 
areas, is that we must remain focused on direct business 
outcomes. We are constantly mindful of the need to 
develop solutions that will meet a real demand, resulting 
in real and profitable revenue streams.

The same concept of remaining ‘on-strategy’ at all 
times is the basis on which we investigate inorganic 
growth opportunities. We adhere to a strict valuation 
discipline and will not consider acquisitions that do not 
fully fit into our strategic roadmap or that risk taking 
us into business areas where our core expertise cannot 
be deployed profitably.

“We are constantly mindful of the need to develop 
solutions that will meet a real demand, resulting 
in real and profitable revenue streams.” 

Over this reporting period, the Company has again been 
able to exceed the demanding targets set in terms of its 
financial performance. It is our firm intention to preserve 
that track record, as well as our growth momentum.

In the current financial year, we aim to maintain 
underlying profit growth levels through a combination 
of revenue gains and margin expansion. We are confident 
that the combination of our exceptional customer 
retention levels, increased penetration and high win rate 
will allow us to grow revenue streams. In turn, margin 
improvements will be supported by increased scale 
benefits, greater internal efficiencies and further cost 
compression. The ongoing consolidation of our systems 
infrastructure will be an important driver in that regard 
in the long term.

The disciplined execution of our growth strategy and 
our constant focus on cost management will allow us 
to achieve these objectives. Further enhancements to 
our competitive differentiation, in combination with the 
well-documented structural trend towards outsourcing, 
will also ensure we are well-placed to be a beneficiary of 
any step-change developments in terms of demand, both 
in the government and corporate sectors.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my executive 
as well as the broader SG Fleet team for their efforts in 
this first full year of our listed life. It has been an excellent 
start in a challenging environment and our goal is to 
reward the trust and support of our shareholders on 
an ongoing basis by continuing to deliver attractive 
and sustainable returns.

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report, which has been audited, 
details the Key Management Personnel (‘KMP’) 
remuneration arrangements for the Group, in 
accordance with the requirements of the Corporations 
Act 2001 and its Regulations.

KMP are those persons having authority and 
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling 
the activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, 
including all directors.

The remuneration report is set out under the following 
main headings:
• principles used to determine the nature and 

amount of remuneration

• details of remuneration
• service agreements
• share-based compensation
• additional information
• additional disclosures relating to key 

management personnel

Principles used to determine the nature and 
amount of remuneration
The objective of the Group’s executive reward 
framework is to ensure reward for performance is 
competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. 
The framework aligns executive reward with the 
achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of 
value for shareholders, and conforms to market best 
practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that 
executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for 
good reward governance practices:
•  competitiveness and reasonableness;
•  acceptability to shareholders;
•  performance linkage / alignment of executive 

compensation; and

•  transparency.

The main role of the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee (‘NRC’) is to assist the Board in fulfilling its 
corporate governance responsibilities and to review and 
make recommendations in relation to the remuneration 
arrangements for its Directors and executives. The NRC 
comprises two independent Non-Executive Directors 
and one Non-Executive Director and meets regularly 
throughout the financial year. The CEO and CFO attend 
certain committee meetings by invitation, where 
management input is required. The CEO and CFO are 
not present during any discussions related to their own 
remuneration arrangements.

16 

SG Fleet Group Limited

The performance of the Group depends on the quality 
of its Directors and executives. The remuneration 
philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high 
performing, quality executives.

The remuneration framework has been structured 
to be market competitive and complementary to the 
reward strategy of the Group.

Alignment to shareholders’ interests:
•  has economic profit as a core component of 

plan design;

•  focuses on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, 

consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and 
delivering constant or increasing return on assets as 
well as focusing the executive on key non-financial 
drivers of value; and

•  attracts and retains high calibre executives.

Alignment to executives’ interests:
•  rewards capability and experience;
•  reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth 

in shareholder wealth; and

•  provides a clear structure for earning rewards.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, 
the structure of Non-Executive Directors and executive 
remunerations are separate.

Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration
Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect 
the demands that are made on, and the responsibilities 
of, these Directors. Non-Executive Directors’ fees and 
payments are reviewed annually by the NRC. The NRC 
may, from time to time, receive advice from independent 
remuneration consultants to ensure Non-Executive 
Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line 
with the market. The Chairman’s fees are determined 
independently to the fees of other Non-Executive 
Directors based on comparative roles in the external 
market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions 
relating to determination of his own remuneration. 
Non-Executive Directors do not receive retirement 
benefits, share options or other cash incentives.

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors consists 
of Directors’ fees and committee fees. The Chairman of 
the Board attends all committee meetings but does not 
receive committee fees in respect of his role as Chairman 
or member of any committee.

Non-Executive Director fees (Directors’ fees and 
committee fees) (inclusive of superannuation) proposed 
for the year ending 30 June 2016, amounting to 
$505,000 is summarised as follows:

Name – Position

– Independent Non-Executive Director

Peter Mountford  
– Non-Executive Director

 $180,000

 $107,500

 $110,000

 $107,500

ASX listing rules require the aggregate Non-Executive 
Directors remuneration be determined periodically by 
a general meeting. The most recent determination was 
at the Annual General Meeting held on 12 February 
2014, where the shareholders approved the aggregate 
remuneration be fixed at a maximum of $1,000,000 
per annum.

Executive remuneration
The Group aims to reward executives with a level 
and mix of remuneration based on their position 
and responsibility, which has both fixed and variable 
components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework 
has four components:
•  base salary and non-monetary benefits;
•  short-term performance incentives;
•  share-based payments; and
•  other remuneration, such as superannuation and 

long service leave.

The combination of these comprises the executive’s 
total remuneration.

Total Fixed Remuneration (‘TFR’) consisting of base 
salary, annual leave, superannuation and non-monetary 
benefits, is reviewed annually by the NRC, based 
on individual and business unit performance, the 
overall performance of the Group and comparable 
market remunerations.

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the 
form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor 
vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional 
costs to the Group and provides additional value to 
the executive.

Annual Report 2015

Directors’ Report
30 June 2015

The short-term incentives (‘STI’) program is designed to 
align the targets of the business units with the targets of 
those executives responsible for meeting those targets. 
STI payments are granted to executives based on specific 
annual targets. A performance modifier applies in 
relation to award of the STI. For an executive to receive 
payment under the STI program, their performance 
has to be regarded as entirely satisfactory. Where an 
executive is regarded as below competent, the award 
under the STI program will be adjusted by the NRC.

Long-term incentives (‘LTI’) are set periodically for KMP 
(‘Participants’) in order to align remuneration with the 
creation of shareholder value over the long term. LTI 
include long service leave and share-based payments.

LTI to Participants are made under the Equity Incentive 
Plan (‘EIP’) and are currently delivered in the form of 
share options. The number of options granted is based 
on a fixed percentage of the relevant Participant’s TFR 
and is issued to the Participant at no cost. Options granted 

to KMP usually vest over three years (the ‘Performance 
Period’), subject to the satisfaction of performance 
conditions. For the 2014 LTI offer, the Performance 
period was from the Group’s listing and concludes on 30 
June 2017, a period of 39 months.

The performance conditions for the LTI options are 
currently based on the compound annual growth rate 
(‘CAGR’) of the Group’s earnings per share (‘EPS’). EPS 
was selected as the performance condition for the LTI 
since it is a measure of economic profit and is a key 
driver of the share price which is a key component in 
delivering sustained growth in shareholder wealth. 
The performance period and applicable performance 
conditions for any future LTI opportunities will be 
determined by the Board and specified in the relevant 
offer document.

The percentage of options that vest and become 
exercisable, if any, is determined by reference to the 
vesting schedule, summarised as follows:

CAGR of EPS over the Performance Period

% of options that become exercisable

Less than 5%

5% (Threshold performance)

Between 5% and 15%

Nil

30%

Straight-line pro-rata vesting between 30% and 100%

15% or above (Stretch performance)

100%

If the Participant ceases employment for cause, the 
unvested options automatically lapse unless the Board 
determines otherwise. In other circumstances, the 
options will remain on foot with a broad discretion for 
the Board to vest or lapse some or all of the options, the 
latter of which the Board will ordinarily exercise in the 
case of resignation.

Where there may be a change of control event, the 
Board has the discretion to accelerate vesting of 
some or all of the options and the Board will notify 
the Participant of the date on which any vested but 
unexercised options will expire. Where only some of the 
options are vested on a change of control event, the 
remainder of the options will immediately lapse.

The EIP also provides flexibility for the Group to grant, 
subject to the terms of individual offers, performance 
rights and restricted shares.

Any options that remain unvested at the end of 
the Performance Period will lapse immediately. 
The Participant must exercise any vested options within 
12 months of vesting. After 12 months, any unexercised 
options will lapse. The Participant is entitled to receive 
one share for each option that vests and is exercised. 
The Board may make an equivalent cash payment in lieu 
of providing shares to the participant. Any cash payment 
is at the Group’s discretion only.

The options do not carry dividends or voting rights prior 
to vesting and exercise. Participants must not sell, transfer, 
encumber, hedge or otherwise deal with the options.

The EIP provides the Board with broad ‘clawback’ 
powers if, amongst other things, the Participant has 
acted fraudulently or dishonestly, engaged in gross 
misconduct or has acted in a manner that has brought 
the Group into disrepute, or there is a material financial 
misstatement, or the Group is required or entitled under 
law or company policy to reclaim remuneration from 
the Participant, or the Participant’s entitlements vest as 
a result of fraud, dishonesty or breach of obligations of 
any other person and the Board is of the opinion that 
the incentives would not have otherwise vested.

SG Fleet Group Limited

Group performance and link to remuneration
The financial performance measure driving STI payment 
outcomes for KMP for the year ended 30 June 2015 and 
future years is determined on a straight-line basis, based 
on the Group achieving EPS growth of between 5.0% 
and 15.0% over the previous financial year. No award 
is made if the Group’s EPS growth is less than 5.0% 
over the previous financial year. The proportion of the 
maximum STI awarded to the KMP is at the discretion 
of the Board.

The performance measure that drives LTI vesting is the 
CAGR of the Group’s EPS over the relevant performance 
period. The Group’s EPS for the year ended 30 June 
2015 was 16.68 cents per share.

Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2014 
Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’)
At the 2014 AGM, 99.9% of the votes received 
supported the adoption of the remuneration report for 
the period ended 30 June 2014. The Company did not 
receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its 
remuneration practices.

The Company has indemnified the Directors, executives 
and employees of the Company for costs incurred, in 
their capacity as a director, executive or employee, for 
which they may be held personally liable, except where

The Company’s subsidiary, SG Fleet Australia Pty Limited 
on behalf of the Company paid a premium in respect of 
a contract to insure the Directors and executives of the 
Company and of any related bodies corporates defined 
in the insurance policy, against a liability to the extent 
permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

Indemnity and insurance of auditor
The Company has not, during or since the end of the 
financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the 
auditor of the Company or any related entity against a 
liability incurred by the auditor. The Company has not 
paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the

Company for all or part of those proceedings.

Non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor 
for non-audit services provided during the financial year 
by the auditor are outlined in note 30 to the financial 
statements.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-
audit services during the financial year, by the auditor 
(or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf), is 
compatible with the general standard of independence 
for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as 
disclosed in note 30 to the financial statements do 
not compromise the external auditor’s independence 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the 
following reasons:
• all non-audit services have been reviewed and 

approved to ensure that they do not impact the 
integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

• none of the services undermine the general principles 
relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued 
by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards 
Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s 
own work, acting in a management or decision-
making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate 
for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks 
and rewards.

SG Fleet Group Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements
30 June 2015

Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover SG Fleet Group Limited 
as a Group consisting of SG Fleet Group Limited (the 
‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) and the subsidiaries 
it controlled at the end of, or during, the year (the 
‘Group’). The financial statements are presented in 
Australian Dollars, which is SG Fleet Group Limited’s 
functional and presentation currency.

SG Fleet Group Limited is a listed public company limited 
by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its 
registered office and principal place of business is:

Level 2, Building 3
20 Bridge Street
Pymble NSW 2073

During the financial year the principal continuing 
activities of the Group consisted of motor vehicle fleet 
management and salary packaging services.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in 
accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 17 August 
2015. The Directors have the power to amend and 
reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the 
preparation of the financial statements are set out 
below. These policies have been consistently applied to 
all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the 
Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit 
oriented entities. These financial statements also 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards 
as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board (‘IASB’).

Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the 
historical cost convention, except for derivative financial 
instruments at fair value.

Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires 
the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also 
requires management to exercise its judgement in the 
process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. 
The areas involving a higher degree of judgement 
or complexity, or areas where assumptions and 
estimates are significant to the financial statements, 
are disclosed in note 3.

Accounting period
The current period results are for the financial year 
ended 30 June 2015. The comparative results are for the 
period from 6 March 2014, when the Company acquired 
SG Fleet Holdings Pty Limited and its subsidiaries, 
to 30 June 2014.

Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these 
financial statements present the results of the Group 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity 
is disclosed in note 35.

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate 
the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of SG Fleet 
Group Limited as at 30 June 2015 and the results of 
all subsidiaries for the year then ended.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group 
has control. The Group controls an entity when the 
Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns 
from its involvement with the entity and has the ability 
to affect those returns through its power to direct the 
activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated 
from the date on which control is transferred to the 
Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that 
control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised 
gains on transactions between entities in the Group are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless 
the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of 
the asset transferred.

The acquisition of common control subsidiaries is 
accounted for using the common control method. 
The acquisition of other subsidiaries is accounted for 
using the acquisition method of accounting. A change 
in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is 
accounted for as an equity transaction, where the 
difference between the consideration transferred and 
the book value of the share of the non-controlling 
interest acquired is recognised directly in equity 
attributable to the parent.

Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 
‘management approach’, where the information 
presented is on the same basis as the internal reports 
provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers 
(‘CODM’). The CODM is responsible for the allocation 
of resources to operating segments and assessing 
their performance.

Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian 
Dollars, which is SG Fleet Group Limited’s functional 
and presentation currency.

Annual Report 2015

Notes to the Financial Statements
30 June 2015

Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into 
Australian Dollars using the exchange rates prevailing 
at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange 
gains and losses resulting from the settlement of 
such transactions and from the translation at financial 
period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and 
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 
recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are 
translated into Australian Dollars using the exchange 
rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses 
of foreign operations are translated into Australian 
Dollars using the average exchange rates, which 
approximate the rate at the date of the transaction, for 
the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are 
recognised in other comprehensive income through the 
foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit 
or loss when the foreign operation or net investment 
is disposed of.

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the 
economic benefit will flow to the Group and the revenue 
can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the 
fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Management and maintenance income
Fleet management income and management fees are 
brought to account on a straight line basis over the term 
of the lease.

Maintenance income is recognised on a stage of 
completion basis in order that profit is recognised 
when the services are provided. Maintenance costs are 
expensed as and when incurred.

Additional products and services
Revenue from the sale of additional products and 
services is recognised when it is received or when the 
right to receive payment is established.

Funding commissions
Introductory commissions earned are recognised 
in profit or loss in full in the month in which the 
finance is introduced to the relevant financier. 
Trailing commissions earned from financiers are 
recognised over the life of the lease.

End of lease income
Income earned after the expiry of the lease is 
recognised when it is received or when the right 
to receive payment is established.

Rental income
Rental income from operating leases is recognised in 
profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Other income
Other income is recognised when it is received or when 
the right to receive payment is established.

Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using 
the effective interest method. This is a method of 
calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and 
allocating the interest income over the relevant period 
using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that 
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through 
the expected life of the financial asset to the net 
carrying amount of the financial asset.

Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is 
the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based 
on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, 
adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and 
liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused 
tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior 
periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for 
temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be 
applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are 
settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or 
substantively enacted, except for:
• when the deferred income tax asset or liability arises 
from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset 
or liability in a transaction that is not a business 
combination and that, at the time of the transaction, 
affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
• when the taxable temporary difference is associated 

with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint 
ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be 
controlled and it is probable that the temporary 
difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible 
temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to 
utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised 
deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting 
date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the 
extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable 
profits will be available for the carrying amount to be 
recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets 
are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there 
are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

34 

SG Fleet Group Limited

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where 
there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax 
assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax 
assets against deferred tax liabilities, and they relate to 
the same taxable authority on either the same taxable 
entity or different taxable entities which intend to 
settle simultaneously.

SG Fleet Group Limited (the ‘head entity’) and its 
wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed 
an income tax consolidated group under the tax 
consolidation regime. The head entity and each 
subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to 
account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. 
The tax consolidated group has applied the ‘separate 
taxpayer within group’ approach in determining the 
appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members 
of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, 
the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities 
(or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from 
unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from 
each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements 
with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as 
amounts receivable from or payable to other entities 
in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding 
arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge 
equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax 
consolidated group member, resulting in neither a 
contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor 
a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, 
deposits held at call with financial institutions, other 
short-term, highly liquid investments with original 
maturities of three months or less that are readily 
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are 
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Finance, trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value 
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method, less any provision 
for impairment.

For finance lease and contract purchase agreements 
see ‘Leases – Group as lessor’ accounting policy.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, 
less any provision for impairment.

Inventories
End-of-term operating lease assets are stated at the 
lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises 
purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts 
received or receivable.

Net realisable value is the lower of (i) estimated 
selling price in the ordinary course of business less the 
estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs 
necessary to make the sale and (ii) cost less residual 
value provision.

Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on 
the date a derivative contract is entered into and are 
subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each 
reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes 
in fair value depends on whether the derivative is 
designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the 
nature of the item being hedged.

Cash flow hedges
Cash flow hedges are used to cover the Group’s 
exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable 
to particular risks associated with a recognised asset 
or liability or a firm commitment which could affect 
profit or loss. The effective portion of the gain or 
loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other 
comprehensive income through the hedging reserve in 
equity, whilst the ineffective portion is recognised in 
profit or loss. Amounts taken to equity are transferred 
out of equity and included in the measurement 
of the hedged transaction when the forecast 
transaction occurs.

Cash flow hedges are tested for effectiveness on a 
regular basis both retrospectively and prospectively to 
ensure that each hedge is highly effective and continues 
to be designated as a cash flow hedge. If the forecast 
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the amounts 
recognised in equity are transferred to profit or loss.

If the hedging instrument is sold, terminated, expires, 
exercised without replacement or rollover, or if the 
hedge becomes ineffective and is no longer a designated 
hedge, amounts previously recognised in equity remain 
in equity until the forecast transaction occurs.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued

Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less 
accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical 
cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable 
to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write 
off the net cost of each item of property, plant and 
equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:

Leasehold improvements  
Fixtures and fittings 
Motor vehicles 

five years
three to eight years
four years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation 
methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, 
at each reporting date.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the 
unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life 
of the assets, whichever is shorter.

An item of property, plant and equipment is 
derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future 
economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses 
between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds 
are taken to profit or loss.

For leased motor vehicles see ‘Leases – Group as lessor – 
leased motor vehicles assets’ accounting policy.

Leases
Group as lessee
The determination of whether an arrangement is 
or contains a lease is based on the substance of the 
arrangement and requires an assessment of whether 
the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the 
use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement 
conveys a right to use the asset.

A distinction is made between finance leases, which 
effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee 
substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to 
ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under 
which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such 
risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability 
are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or 
if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. 
Lease payments are allocated between the principal 
component of the lease liability and the finance costs, 
so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the 
remaining balance of the liability.

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are 
depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the 
shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if 
there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will 
obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received 
from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a 
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Group as lessor
Amounts due from customers under finance leases 
and contract purchase agreements are recorded as 
receivables. Finance and contract purchase receivables 
are initially recognised at an amount equal to the 
present value of the minimum instalment payment 
receivable plus the present value of any unguaranteed 
residual value expected to accrue at the end of the 
contract term. Interest income is allocated to accounting 
periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return 
on the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect 
of the contracts.

Group as lessor – leased motor vehicles assets
Full maintenance lease assets are stated at historical cost 
less accumulated depreciation.

The cost of full maintenance lease assets includes the 
purchase cost including non-refundable purchase taxes 
and other expenditure that is directly attributable to the 
acquisition of the assets to bring the assets held-for-use 
in the lease asset portfolio to working condition for the 
intended use.

The depreciable amount of the asset is depreciated 
over its estimated useful life of seven years on a 
straight-line basis.

Lease rentals receivable and payable on operating leases 
are recognised in profit or loss in periodic amounts over 
the effective lease term on a straight line basis.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business 
combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured 
at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible 
assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. 
Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are 
subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite 
life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost 
less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses 
recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition 
of intangible assets are measured as the difference 
between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount 
of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives 
of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. 
Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or 
useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing 
the amortisation method or period.

SG Fleet Group Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements30 June 2015 
 
 
Goodwill
Where an entity or operation is acquired in a business 
combination, that is not a common control transaction, 
the identifiable net assets acquired are measured at 
fair value. The excess of the fair value of the cost of 
the acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable 
net assets acquired is brought to account as goodwill. 
Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested 
annually for impairment, or more frequently if events 
or changes in circumstances indicate that it might 
be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated 
impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are 
taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.

Customer contracts
Customer contracts are assessed as having an indefinite 
life. Indefinite life customer contracts are not amortised. 
Instead they are tested annually for impairment, or more 
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate 
that they might be impaired, and are carried at cost less 
accumulated impairment losses.

Software
Significant costs associated with software are deferred 
and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of 
their expected benefit, being their finite useful lives of 
between two and eight years.

Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an 
indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and 
are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently 
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that 
they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are 
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not 
be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the 
amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds 
its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair 
value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The 
value-in-use is the present value of the estimated 
future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax 
discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating 
unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not 
have independent cash flows are grouped together 
to form a cash-generating unit.

Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and 
services provided to the Group prior to the end of 
the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their 
short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost 
and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and 
are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair 
value of the consideration received, net of transaction 
costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method.

Maintenance deferred income liability
Income is measured by reference to the stage 
of completion based on the proportion that the 
maintenance costs incurred to date bear to the 
estimated costs of completion of the contract lease.

Deferred income is recognised based on the differences 
in maintenance fee derived in accordance with the 
contract billing cycle and income based on stage of 
completion by reference to costs incurred.

Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are 
capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs 
are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present 
(legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past 
event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle 
the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of 
the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised 
as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration 
required to settle the present obligation at the reporting 
date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties 
surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money 
is material, provisions are discounted using a current 
pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in 
the provision resulting from the passage of time is 
recognised as a finance cost.

Residual values
The Group has entered into various agreements with 
its financiers that govern the transfer of the residual 
value risk inherent in operating lease assets from the 
financier to the Group at the end of the underlying 
lease agreement. These agreements include put/call 
options, sale direction deeds and guaranteed buyback 
arrangements. The residual value provision is created 
on an onerous pool basis to cover future shortfalls on 
the disposal of these vehicles. Assets are grouped into 
homogenous groups which are then analysed further 
into maturity pools. A provision is raised for a maturity 
pool if the forecast loss on disposal of the assets in the 
pool exceeds the future fee income that the pool will 
generate between the reporting date and the maturity 
date. Maturity pools in a net profit position are not 
offset against maturity pools in a net loss position.

Annual Report 2015

Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued

Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Employee benefits expected to be settled within 
12 months of the reporting date are measured at 
the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities 
are settled.

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

Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation 
plans are expensed in the period in which they 
are incurred.

Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are 
provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, 
or options over shares, that are provided to employees 
in exchange for the rendering of services.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured 
at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently 
determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes 
option pricing model that takes into account the exercise 
price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the 
share price at grant date and expected price volatility of 
the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and 
the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, 
together with non-vesting conditions that do not 
determine whether the Group receives the services that 
entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is 
taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised 
as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity 
over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit 
or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of 
the award, the best estimate of the number of awards 
that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the 
vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss 
for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at 
each reporting date less amounts already recognised in 
previous periods.

38 

SG Fleet Group Limited

Market conditions are taken into consideration in 
determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to 
market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of 
whether or not that market condition has been met, 
provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum 
an expense is recognised as if the modification has 
not been made. An additional expense is recognised, 
over the remaining vesting period, for any modification 
that increases the total fair value of the share-based 
compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the 
Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition 
is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within 
the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied 
during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the 
award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, 
unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as 
if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any 
remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new 
replacement award is substituted for the cancelled 
award, the cancelled and new award are treated as if 
they were a modification.

Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, 
is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure 
purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would 
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability 
in an orderly transaction between market participants 
at the measurement date; and assumes that the 
transaction will take place either: in the principal market; 
or in the absence of a principal market, in the most 
advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market 
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, 
assuming they act in their economic best interest. For 
non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based 
on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that 
are appropriate in the circumstances and for which 
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are 
used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs 
and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are 
classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy 
that reflects the significance of the inputs used in 
making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed 
each reporting date and transfers between levels are 
determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements30 June 2015For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, 
external valuers may be used when internal expertise 
is either not available or when the valuation is deemed 
to be significant. External valuers are selected based on 
market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a 
significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from 
one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which 
includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the 
latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with 
external sources of data.

Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental 
costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or 
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds.

Dividends
Dividends are recognised when declared during the 
financial year and are no longer at the discretion of 
the Company.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the 
profit attributable to the owners of SG Fleet Group 
Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other 
than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number 
of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, 
adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued 
during the financial year.

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

Rounding of amounts
The Company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 
98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and 
Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-
off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off 
in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest 
thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not 
yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that 
have recently been issued or amended but are not yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group 
for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2015. 
The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new or 
amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, 
most relevant to the Group, are set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard 
replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes 
the project to replace IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement’. AASB 9 introduces new 
classification and measurement models for financial 
assets. New hedge accounting requirements are 
intended to more closely align the accounting treatment 
with the risk management activities of the entity. New 
impairment requirements will use an ‘expected credit 
loss’ (‘ECL’) model to recognise an allowance. The Group 
will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact 
of its adoption is not likely to be material.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is currently applicable to annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. Exposure 
Draft (ED 263) ‘Effective Date of AASB 15’ proposes to 
defer the application date by one year (1 January 2018). 
The standard provides a single standard for revenue 
recognition. The core principle of the standard is that 
an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of 
promised goods or services to customers in an amount 
that reflects the consideration to which the entity 
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or 
services). The Group expects to adopt this standard from 
1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be 
assessed by the Group.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, 
estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires 
management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the 
financial statements. Management continually evaluates 
its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, 
liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. 
Management bases its judgements, estimates and 
assumptions on historical experience and on other 
various factors, including expectations of future events, 
management believes to be reasonable under the 
circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and 
estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. 
The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have 
a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to 
the respective notes) within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

Annual Report 2015

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates 
and assumptions continued
Revenue from maintenance income
As discussed in note 2, the Group estimates the 
maintenance income on a stage of completion 
approach. These calculations require the use of 
assumptions, including an estimation of the stage of 
completion and the profit margin to be achieved over 
the life of the contract.

or expense when a contingency is released could have 
resulted in the Exit Fee and the employee expenses 
being recognised before the formation of the SG 
Fleet Group (i.e. by anticipating the consummation 
of the transaction).

If the Exit Fee and employee expenses had been 
recognised as transactions of the pre-formation period, 
the impact would have been to reduce net profit for the 
period ended 30 June 2014 by $1,424,000.

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events 
or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, 
whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible 
assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with 
the accounting policy stated in note 2. The recoverable 
amounts of cash-generating units, to which these assets 
belong, have been determined based on valu-in-use 
calculations. These calculations require the use of 
assumptions, including estimated discount rates based 
on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the 
estimated future cash flows.

Residual values
As discussed in note 2, the Group has entered into 
various agreements with its financiers relating to residual 
value risk inherent in operating lease assets being 
transferred to the Group at the end of the underlying 
lease agreement. A provision is raised where the forecast 
loss on disposal of the assets in the pool exceeds the 
expected future fee income that the pool will generate. 
The expected future income is estimated based on past 
experience and likely market conditions at the time of 
disposal of the assets.

IPO Exit Fee and Bonus Shares and Bonus Payments 
expense (comparative period)
As part of the Initial Public Offering (‘IPO’) that occurred 
in comparative period ended 30 June 2014, the Group 
received an Exit Fee from the Exiting Shareholders 
in compensation for the services performed by 
management in pursuing the IPO. The services to the 
Exiting Shareholders were mainly performed in the period 
preceding the IPO, but the Exit Fee was conditional upon 
the completion of the transactions that resulted in the 
formation of SG Fleet Group Limited and its subsidiaries 
(‘SG Fleet Group’). Therefore the Exit Fee and associated 
bonus shares and bonus payments (‘the employee 
expenses’) that were conditional upon the IPO were 
recognised in profit or loss of the newly formed SG Fleet 
Group in the period from 6 March 2014 to 30 June 2014.

The Directors believe that the recognition of the above 
transactions in the prior period was appropriate. 
However, the Directors note that an alternative 
interpretation of when to recognise items of income 

The Directors note that the alternative interpretation 
would have no impact on the pro forma net profit 
for the period ended 30 June 2014 (as presented 
in the Chief Executive Officer’s Report in the 2014 
Annual Report), the net profit for the year ended 
30 June 2015 or the retained earnings as at 30 June 
2015 or 30 June 2014.

Transaction costs on the issue of shares 
(comparative period)
In the period ended 30 June 2014, $5,824,000 of 
transaction costs, net of tax, associated with the issue 
of new shares were deducted from equity in accordance 
with the Group’s accounting policies.

An alternative interpretation of AASB 132 ‘Financial 
Instruments: Presentation’ would be that transaction 
costs associated with the issue of new shares that 
replace existing shares should be expensed in profit or 
loss and not treated as a deduction in equity. Under this 
alternative interpretation, transaction costs should be 
apportioned between equity and expense where they 
cover both the issue of new shares and the replacement 
of existing shares.

If the Group had adopted the alternative interpretation, 
$3,635,000 of post-tax transaction costs would have 
been expensed in profit or loss for the period 6 March 
2014 to 30 June 2014 reducing profit after income 
tax from $15,620,000 to $11,985,000. The balance of 
$2,189,000 in post-tax transaction costs would have 
been recognised as a pre-acquisition expense in the 
profit or loss prior to 6 March 2014 and would thus 
have resulted in a reduction in retained earnings and 
an increase in issued capital of $2,189,000.

The alternative interpretation would have no impact 
on the net assets of the Group as at 30 June 2014 as 
the issued capital would have increased by an amount 
equal to the reduction in retained earnings resulting in 
total equity remaining unchanged at $129,016,000. The 
Directors note that the alternative interpretation would 
have no impact on the pro forma net profit for the 
period ended 30 June 2014 (as presented in the Chief 
Executive Officer’s Report in the 2014 Annual Report) 
or the net profit for the year ended 30 June 2015.

SG Fleet Group Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements30 June 2015Note 4. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The Group is organised into geographic operating segments: Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and 
Corporate. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board 
of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’)) in assessing performance and 
in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments.

The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies 
adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.

Prior year balances have been reclassified from Corporate segment into Australia segment to reflect how the 
balances are monitored by the CODM.

Intersegment receivables, payables and loans
Intersegment loans are initially recognised at the consideration received. Intersegment loans receivable and loans 
payable that earn or incur non-market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. 
Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation.

Major customers
There are no major customers that contributed more than 10% of revenue to the Group.

Notes to the Financial Statements30 June 2015Impairment testing for goodwill
The impairment test was based on a value-in-use approach. The recoverable amount was determined to be higher 
than the carrying amount and therefore no impairment loss was recognised. Value-in-use was determined by 
discounting the future cash flows based on the following key assumptions:
• cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and the four-year business plan. Cash flow 

beyond Year 4 was projected at a growth rate of 0% (2014: 0%);

• 7.5% (2014: 7.6%) per annum projected revenue growth rate;
• direct costs were forecast based on the margins historically achieved by the business;
• overheads were forecast based on current levels adjusted for inflationary increases; and
• the Company’s pre-tax weighted average cost of capital was applied in determining the recoverable amount. 

The discount rate of 11.70% (2014: 11.87%) was estimated using the Capital Asset Pricing model.

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the industry 
and are based on both external and internal data sources.

Sensitivity analysis
Management estimates that any reasonable changes in the key assumptions would not have a significant impact 
on the value-in-use of intangible assets and goodwill that would require the assets to be impaired.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in 
proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value 
and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll 
each share shall have one vote.

Share buy-back
There is no current on-market share buy-back.

Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that 
it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital 
structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group monitors capital on the basis of its gearing ratio. In order to 
maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return 
capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debts.

The Group is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these are given priority in all capital 
risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the 
financial period.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2014 Annual Report.

The reserve is used to recognise contributions from or to SG Fleet Group Limited and its controlled subsidiaries 
by shareholders.

Group reorganisation – SG Fleet Group Limited and SG Fleet Holdings Pty Limited (comparative period)
When SG Fleet Solutions Pty Limited, a subsidiary of SG Fleet Group Limited (the legal parent and legal acquirer), 
acquired SG Fleet Holdings Pty Limited and its subsidiaries (the legal subsidiary), effective 6 March 2014, 
the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with AASB 3 ‘Business 
Combinations’. Instead, the combination was treated as a group reorganisation, through an accounting policy choice 
using the common control method, as follows:
• The assets and liabilities of the combining entities were reflected at their carrying amounts. No adjustments was 
made to reflect fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities, that would otherwise be required under 
AASB 3;

• No ‘new’ goodwill was recognised as a result of the combination. The only goodwill that was recognised was the 
existing goodwill of SG Holdings Pty Limited. The difference between the consideration paid of $232,768,000 and 
the equity ‘acquired’ of $113,610,000 was reflected in equity as a ‘capital reserve’ of $119,158,000; and

• The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the comparative period reflects the results 

of the combined entities from 6 March 2014 to 30 June 2014.

On 17 August 2015, the Directors declared a fully franked final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2015 of 6.117 
cents per ordinary shares, to be paid on 22 October 2015 to eligible shareholders on the register as at 1 October 
2015. This equates to a total estimated distribution of $14,846,000, based on the number of ordinary shares on 
issue as at 30 June 2015. The financial effect of dividends declared after the reporting date are not reflected in the 
30 June 2015 financial statements and will be recognised in subsequent financial reports.

Note 27. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest 
rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability 
of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. 
The Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee, a sub-committee of the Board, has responsible for managing risk. 
The Committee reports to the Board on its activities.

Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate 
risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are 
reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group through its training 
and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in 
which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk, except for translation of financial assets and 
liabilities of foreign subsidiaries into presentation currency.

Price risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from its borrowings and cash at bank. Borrowings and cash at bank 
issued at variable rates expose the Group to interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group 
to fair value risk. The policy is to ensure that at least 60% of its exposure to changes in interest rates on general 
borrowings, other than lease portfolio borrowings, is on a fixed rate basis. Lease portfolio borrowings are entered 
into on a fixed interest rate basis, except for lease portfolio borrowings utilised to fund lease portfolio assets in 
inertia which are entered into on a variable rate basis.

An official increase / decrease in interest rates of 50 (2014: 50) basis points would have a favourable / adverse effect 
on profit before tax and equity of $402,000 (2014: $239,000) per annum. The percentage change is based on the 
expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analyst’s forecasts.

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss 
to the Group. The Group has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming 
references and setting appropriate credit limits. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to 
recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed 
in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group does not hold any collateral.

Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash 
equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. 
Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash or facilities on demand to meet expected operational expenses 
for a period of 90 days, including the servicing of financial obligations. This excludes the potential impact of extreme 
circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by 
continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and 
liabilities.

Notes to the Financial Statements30 June 2015Note 28. Fair value measurement
Fair value hierarchy
The following tables detail the Group’s assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level 
hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the 
measurement date

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 
directly or indirectly

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year.

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value. The carrying amounts 
of trade receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. 
The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current 
market interest rate that is available for similar financial instruments.

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within Level 2 and Level 3
Derivative financial instruments have been valued using quoted market rates. This valuation technique maximises the 
use of observable market data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates.

Future minimum rentals receivable includes contracted amounts for motor vehicles under non-cancellable operating 
leases between one and five years.

Note 32. Contingent liabilities
The Group has entered into agreements with its lease portfolio financiers under which the residual value risk 
inherent in operating leases is transferred from the financier of the asset to the Group at the end of the lease. 
Under these agreements, at the end of the contractual lease term for each vehicle, the Group is obliged to pay 
the guaranteed residual value amount to the financier. The company then sells the vehicles and realises a profit 
or loss on sale. Bank guarantees and letters of credit have been issued to lease portfolio financiers as security 
for these obligations.

An amount of $12,368,000 (2014: $15,949,000) has been recognised as a residual value provision, calculated 
on an onerous pool basis, to cover potential shortfalls on the disposal of these vehicles.

The Group has executed certain guarantees and indemnities, as well as fixed and floating charges over the assets 
of the Group in favour of funders as security for banking and lease portfolio facilities provided to the Group.
