SG Fleet GroupSG Fleet Group Limited is a leading provider 
of integrated mobility solutions, including 
fleet management, vehicle leasing and salary 
packaging services. 

SG Fleet has a presence across Australia, 
as well as in the United Kingdom and 
New Zealand. 

The company has a unique position in 
the marketplace, built on the experience 
and product expertise of its team. 

The company employs approximately 
700 staff and has over 143,000 vehicles 
under management. SG Fleet listed on 
the Australian Securities Exchange in 
March 2014.

SG Fleet prides itself on the strength of 
its relationships with blue chip corporate 
and government customers. These long‑term 
relationships have been built around a 
customer‑centric approach to service 
delivery and the development of bespoke 
but scalable solutions to meet the needs of 
each customer.

An innovative mindset is core to 
everything SG Fleet does.

The company actively contributes to 
the global discussion about the future 
of transport and is shaping the new 
mobility landscape in cooperation with all 
levels of government, as well as leading 
corporates. SG Fleet continuously evolves 
its highly advanced fleet management 
capabilities and flexible mobility solutions, 
and selectively invests in new technologies 
and business models that are changing the 
way we move. During the 2020 financial year, 
these investments included a strategic stake 
in Collaborate, which offers the Carly car 
subscription service.

Annual Report 2020SG Fleet’s approach to long-term value creation for all 
of its stakeholders is driven by the principle that social, 
environmental and ethical behaviours must be integrated 
into daily business practices.

Our purpose is to make a positive contribution to the wellbeing of employees, customers, 
shareholders and the wider communities in which we operate by providing transport and mobility 
solutions in a socially, environmentally and ethically responsible manner. These services aim 
to optimise the efficiency and safety of transport and, in doing so, manage its impact on the 
environment and the community.

Environment 
In addition to helping our customers reduce the impact of their 
transport activities on the environment, we also ensure our 
own day‑to‑day operations minimise resource consumption, 
waste and emissions. SG Fleet’s Environmental Impact and 
Performance Policy sets a CO2 emission minimisation target by 
reducing travel and the use of consumables such as paper, and by 
promoting the introduction of energy‑efficient lighting and other 
electrically powered devices. We are also proactively increasing 
the proportion of low or zero‑emission vehicles in our own fleet.

Our people
We pride ourselves on the diversity of our workforce. 
SG Fleet’s people are its greatest strength and we continuously 
look to improve job satisfaction and foster professional 
development. In addition to regular internal online training 
modules, we offer our people opportunities to further their 
expertise externally through various education initiatives. 
We also look to provide flexible work arrangements wherever 
appropriate. Importantly, SG Fleet’s efforts to advance the 
representation of women in leadership positions and at Board 
level are enshrined in our Corporate Governance Statement.

Our customers
The quality of our products and our service has always been a key differentiator for SG Fleet. 
We understand we must go above and beyond for our customers and we always look for 
opportunities to improve how we add value. Innovation plays a key role in this effort. 
We continuously explore new approaches to product development and service delivery 
and lead our industry with cutting‑edge transport and mobility applications.

SG Fleet GroupCommunity
SG Fleet considers its ability to operate successfully as a 
privilege, obtained by creating value for our customers 
and shareholders, and by making a positive impact in the 
wider community. Our multi‑faceted philanthropic and giving 
programme is supported by frequent volunteering initiatives 
from our people. We are a significant local employer and, as a 
customer of many businesses, we have established a policy 
that favours local sourcing. In Australia, SG Fleet is a proud 
member of Supply Nation, which aims to promote and support 
procurement through indigenous organisations and create a 
more inclusive economy.

Our business partners
At SG Fleet, we have always believed in the power of 
partnerships. We offer our customers our unique expertise 
and services just as we rely on the specific skill sets of our 
business partners. We share with them the desire to operate 
in a responsible and ethical fashion. It is for this reason that 
we request, and commit ourselves to applicable principles of 
conduct, such as fair sourcing, as well as strict adherence to 
various human rights policies.

Our principles of conduct
As an organisation, we assume responsibility for our actions, together and 
as individuals. SG Fleet adheres to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s 
“Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations” (3rd Edition). 
In addition to our general Code of Conduct, we have established policies 
across a range of areas, such as modern slavery, anti‑bribery and corruption, 
and whistleblowing. We are also voluntarily adopting ISO standards relating 
to information security, procurement and process improvement. To further 
support our efforts in these areas, our people receive regular online training 
to ensure they are aware of and compliant with all policies and standards in 
place, including those governing discrimination, privacy and cybersecurity.

Annual Report 2020Chairman’s report

Dear Shareholder

I have the pleasure of presenting you with the 
SG Fleet Group Limited Annual Report for the year ended 
30 June 2020.

The majority of the 2020 financial year saw your Company 
make good progress on a number of fronts. However, this 
reporting period is of course dominated by the impact of 
events that continue to play out as I present this report. 
COVID‑19 has impacted all of our lives in numerous 
ways, including by creating an exceptionally challenging 
environment for businesses across the globe. A number 
of your Company’s revenue streams were significantly 
affected by the pandemic in the fourth quarter of the 
financial year. As we are currently unsure how long this 
impact will last, we have taken the precaution of temporarily 
reducing our full year dividend pay‑out ratio by five percent. 
Accordingly, your Board has declared a fully franked final 
dividend of 3.053 cents per share. In combination with 
the first half amount, this brings the total dividend for the 
2020 financial year to 9.996 cents per share.

The 2020 financial year has been a period where service 
and value‑add have come to the fore more than ever, 
and particularly after the emergence of the COVID‑19 crisis. 
Our first priority at the time was of course to ensure the 
wellbeing of our staff and our customers, as well as maintain 
service delivery at the highest standards. To achieve this, 
your Company quickly implemented a number of initiatives 
to minimise any disruption to business operations, 
including the setting up of remote working facilities for 
our people. To help manage the financial impact of the crisis, 
the Directors of the Board, senior executives and staff across 
the Group also voluntarily reduced their remuneration.

The 2020 financial year has been a period 
where service and value-add have come to the 
fore more than ever, and particularly after the 
emergence of the COVID-19 crisis.

It was heartening to see how our staff pulled together 
to be there for our customers at such a crucial time. 
Without missing a beat, we were there to make sure that 
our customers could focus on what was most important for 
their business. The Company launched a campaign aimed at 
addressing their most pressing challenges and our customers 
responded very positively to our offer of help. It is this sort 
of commitment that builds long‑term loyalty and we have 
undoubtedly strengthened our position and our longer‑term 
outlook in the process.

4

But the 2020 financial year was not all about the pandemic 
crisis and it is important to recognise the many achievements 
of the businesses in the reported period.

During the year, we had several important new product 
launches. We are constantly increasing the number of 
potential product touchpoints by growing our offering, 
be it through evolution of existing products, creation of 
new products through our in‑house innovation capability, 
or by investing in leading ventures in their respective 
markets, such as DingGo and Collaborate. In fact, we are 
working towards providing a convenient and on‑demand 
service to cater for whatever specific mobility requirement 
our customers may have at any given point in time. 
Evidence that we are meeting real needs with real value‑add 
is demonstrated by the fact that the majority of our large 
customers now take up three or more of our products 
and this number continues to increase as we bring more 
solutions to market.

We are working towards providing a 
convenient and on-demand service to cater for 
whatever specific mobility requirement our 
customers may have at any given point in time.

Product and service quality are at the core of building lasting 
relationships with customers and attracting new business. 
Your Company has the unique ability to tailor services to the 
customer’s specific needs, bespoke solutions that cannot 
be sourced elsewhere. We then continue to introduce new 
products as we innovate, creating more value at every step. 
It is therefore not surprising to see that amongst our largest 
customers, the average length of relationship is 13 years. 
In summary, the combination of a quality, growing customer 
base with a diversifying and increasingly penetrating offering 
has established a secure growth path for your Company.

Firstly, I thank the team at SG Fleet for the way they 
have stood up to the task of managing the many 
challenges faced. I would also like to acknowledge the 
important contributions of the Directors of the Board in 
supporting the Company’s efforts. My thanks go to our 
majority shareholder, Super Group, for their endorsement 
of our strategic ambitions. Most importantly, I thank you, 
our Shareholders, for your continued support as we look 
forward to a better year ahead.

SG Fleet GroupChief Executive Officer’s report

Dear Shareholder

I am pleased to report on the financial performance of 
SG Fleet Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020.

reflects the soft vehicle sales in Australia, as well as the 
increase in extensions and decline in funded deliveries 
and margins during the pandemic period. While end of 
lease income was resilient earlier in the year, COVID‑19 
also impacted that revenue line by disrupting deliveries 
and disposal processes. Total net end of lease income was 
$14.1 million, versus $17.6 million in the 2019 financial year. 
Net Rental income declined by 4.5% to $10.1 million as a 
result of lower short‑term rental volumes in the UK market. 

My review of this financial year will refer for comparison 
to the financial figures for the year ended 30 June 2019. 
Detailed financial data can be found in the full annual report.

Opportunities abound for Corporate business 
while poor sentiment affects Consumer 
operations

A year of unprecedented challenges

The 2020 financial year has undoubtedly been one of the 
most challenging periods the Company has ever faced. 
We started the year managing the impact of a number of 
pressures, including from the financial services environment 
and poor motor vehicle sales. Then, in March of this 
year, the COVID‑19 pandemic made itself felt in all of the 
countries in which we operate. In order to provide you 
with an accurate account of our performance over the full 
year and explain the impact of the pandemic, I will review 
our individual businesses over two periods: July 2019 to 
March 2020, and then April to June 2020, when COVID‑19 
had its biggest impact. 

The 2020 financial year has undoubtedly 
been one of the most challenging periods the 
Company has ever faced.

At a Group level, total revenue for the full financial year 
was $452.9 million, a decline of 11.1% relative to the 2019 
financial year. While in the first half, we saw some growth 
in revenue, this was reversed in the final quarter, when the 
COVID‑19 impact resulted in significantly reduced revenues. 
Despite this disruption, we were able to grow our total fleet 
size by 2.4% over the previous financial year. Net profit after 
tax, of $36.8 million, compared to $60.5 million in the 2019 
financial year, reflected the impact of COVID‑19 on deliveries 
and end of lease disposals, as well as the changes to our 
add‑on insurance portfolio, flagged at the start of the year. 

Management and maintenance income, at $86.8 million, 
reflected the reduction in the average funded fleet and 
the number of fully‑maintained vehicles. In line with the 
planned changes to the insurance product portfolio and 
lower deliveries in the fourth quarter, additional products 
and services revenue declined by 17.0% to $88.9 million. 
Funding commissions totalled $39.6 million, compared to 
$50.6 million in the previous financial year. This decline 

In the first nine months of the financial year, the 
Corporate business continued to see a strong pipeline of 
opportunities from both existing outsourcers and from 
companies and organisations that still manage their fleets 
internally. We see this as strong evidence of a continued 
structural shift towards outsourced fleets, accelerated 
by the increasingly complex and high‑tech nature of fleet 
management. Once again, we signed a number of major 
contracts that were renewed without going to tender, 
a strong endorsement of our product and service quality 
and evidence of the stickiness of our customer base. 
Wins achieved during the period were across a wide range 
of industries and segments, including large corporate, 
educational institutions and local government. 

Once again, we signed a number of major 
contracts that were renewed without going to 
tender, a strong endorsement of our product 
and service quality and evidence of the 
stickiness of our customer base.

Negative consumer sentiment drove further weakness in 
private new car sales, resulting in lower novated deliveries 
for our Consumer business. Slow credit decisioning by 
banks continued to affect our ability to close deals and in 
addition, we witnessed elevated credit rejection levels. 
The business was also not immune to the insurance product 
margin pressure experienced across the industry. We exited 
some smaller add‑on insurance products and introduced 
new annuity style products. The signing up of customers 
was a clear positive during the period, with a significant 
number of very sizeable wins in the private sector, where we 
traditionally dominate, but also increasingly in government. 
While driver conversion remained challenging, we take some 
comfort from the fact that our existing drivers are highly 
complimentary of the services we provide.

Annual Report 2020Chief Executive Officer’s report continued

Certainty returns to the UK while New Zealand 
registers marquee wins

The UK experienced an eventful first six months of the 
financial year and the initial uncertainty surrounding the 
elections continued to flatten confidence. After the elections, 
we saw some settling of the economy and business felt 
more positive, with a significant level of new opportunities 
emerging. Fully maintained contract hire wins were achieved 
for sizeable fleets in a number of industries and significant 
orders for vehicles were received from some of our 
largest customers. In terms of penetration within existing 
customers, cross‑selling of our UK telematics solution was 
very strong. The love affair with hybrid and electric vehicles 
continued in the UK. Our business received the Innovation in 
Green Travel Award for the eStart product, so SG Fleet is very 
much seen as a key player in this space.

Business confidence In New Zealand was somewhat muted 
at the start of the period but that did not stop companies 
from issuing numerous tenders. We pursued these 
opportunities selectively to avoid excessive price competition 
where possible. Late in the first half, our local business won 
the largest tender in the market in 2019 and one of the 
largest fleets in the country, energy company Northpower. 
The contract successfully went live in the third quarter 
and will provide us with further growth opportunities in the 
future. The Northpower win really made an impression on 
our industry there, and we saw several new opportunities 
on the back of this. In summary, the New Zealand business 
continued to punch well above its weight.

COVID-19 fundamentally changes environment

In March, concern about the emergence of COVID‑19 
escalated quickly and by the end of that month, 
lockdowns were enforced in all of our geographies. 
We immediately activated our business continuity plan and, 
thanks to this rapid response, we were able to maintain 
service levels throughout. While we took all necessary 
precautions and adopted a very careful approach to costs, 
sourcing, expenditure and workload management, we did 
not face cashflow pressure at any stage. Obviously, the fact 
that the majority of our net revenue is earned over the life 
of the asset contributed greatly to that.

Not surprisingly given the uncertain economic environment, 
lease extensions increased significantly, by 31%. This was 
driven by corporate and novated customers opting not to 
enter into a new lease as yet, our own efforts to properly 
manage the volume of returning vehicles in a difficult 
residual value environment, as well as our restricted ability 
to deliver new vehicles. Our in‑house online disposal set‑up 
avoided the main issues associated with using external 
auction houses, which stopped operating for some time. 
In the early days of the fourth quarter, disposals in Australia 
continued at a lower frequency and for a reduced number 
of vehicles. In New Zealand and the UK, disposals were 

6

temporarily halted altogether. In response, we employed 
some innovative methods to make good use of returned 
vehicles, for example by offering them packaged as 
mini‑leases.  Overall, disposal volumes were down by 
about 35% for the full fourth quarter period, but by June, 
volumes were actually up slightly on the same month last 
year. Inevitably, average disposal profits were significantly 
lower for the quarter, but again, there was an improving 
trend as the quarter progressed. 

We employed some innovative methods 
to make good use of returned vehicles, 
for example by offering them packaged 
as mini-leases.

Corporate businesses weather the storm, 
but Consumer inevitably impacted

The fourth quarter has been a real revelation for our 
Corporate business in terms of the appreciation shown by 
our customers for the value we add for them. While the 
COVID‑19 crisis dominated headlines, activity in this business 
was largely maintained, helped by our exposure to sectors 
that continued to operate as normal, such as government, 
utilities and transport.  The opportunities pipeline remained 
very healthy, and we again won a significant share of 
new business. We also started our ‘We are here to help’ 
campaign, which sought to assist organisations during 
the COVID‑19 crisis, particularly in terms of cashflow 
management. We offered re‑financing, sale and leasebacks, 
shorter‑term leases, fleet optimisation tools and of 
course, for those who had not outsourced, the option 
to outsource the management of their vehicles to us. 
Overall, funded tool‑of‑trade deliveries, including extensions, 
during the fourth quarter were up 9.2% over the previous 
corresponding period.

The fourth quarter has been a real revelation 
for our Corporate business in terms of the 
appreciation shown by our customers for the 
value we add for them.

Not surprisingly, the experience in our novated business 
was different altogether. Enquiry levels started to slow by 
mid‑March and this decline accelerated once the country 
went into lockdown. Signs of recovery were seen during 
May, when enquiry numbers doubled on the previous 
month, albeit off a low base. Consumer confidence remained 
patchy depending on which sector people were employed 
in, with some unfortunately losing their employment. 
We were impacted primarily via our exposure to the airline 
industry, and the requirement for some employers to stand 
down a large part of their workforce or place them on leave 
without pay. Our immediate focus in March was to support 
those customers in hardship and we worked with our 
funding partners to arrange alternatives or payment holidays 
where possible. While driver interest was impacted by the 

SG Fleet GroupWhen COVID‑19 struck, we responded positively to the 
increased demand for assistance from existing and new 
customers. This environment again confirmed the benefit of 
being a leader in both the corporate and consumer space. 
The good showing of our Corporate business stabilised 
our overall performance and kept us on a strong footing 
throughout the events of this year. It is strong evidence of 
the resilience of the Company and its business model.

This environment again confirmed the benefit 
of being a leader in both the corporate 
and consumer space.

I believe that being present for our customers and being 
able to help and demonstrate value‑add in a challenging 
environment has further enhanced our standing in all of our 
markets. Our objective remains to build sustainable growth 
on what is a very strong customer base by maintaining our 
above‑market share win rates and by achieving greater 
penetration for a widening high value‑add products and 
services range. The base has now been reset and we see a 
very positive long‑term scenario for the Company.

I give my appreciation and sincere thanks to my Executive 
team and indeed all of my colleagues across the Group. 
Once again, we have responded strongly as a team to 
what have been unprecedented challenges. I thank you, 
our Shareholders, for your continued support as we look 
forward to a brighter, stronger future for your Company.

Chief Executive Officer

COVID‑19 environment, companies continued to tender their 
business. The new business pipeline was healthy, and our 
win rate was very strong. Overall, fourth quarter novated 
deliveries, including extensions, were down 33.6% on 
the previous corresponding period. This decline was also 
the result of an inability to deliver stock at times during 
the period.

The effect of the COVID‑19 pandemic started to 
manifest itself in the UK by mid‑March and a lockdown 
was announced later that month. Our business moved to a 
full work‑from‑home environment and again, our immediate 
focus was on helping our customers, while ensuring the 
safety of our staff. As was the case in Australia, we were 
seeing and encouraging more extensions as disposals 
had to be temporarily halted because of the lockdown. 
By April, second‑hand vehicle sales had come to a standstill. 
Volume and prices started to recover in early June and 
by the end of that month, we were seeing a particularly 
strong used vehicle market. New opportunities continued to 
materialise and we took full advantage, effectively winning 
our largest ever fleet management contract during this 
lockdown period. We also received a large vehicle order 
from a leading European parcel carrier, reflecting the surge 
in online shopping. The business closed the half year period 
with its strongest order bank since January 2019. 

In New Zealand, the lockdown came in the last week of 
March and new registrations virtually came to a halt by 
mid‑April. Our business continuity plan was activated, 
and we temporarily halted disposals. Despite all the turmoil, 
our activity levels remained very stable, helped by our strong 
presence in the public sector, which was less affected by the 
lockdown. Tender activity remained very strong throughout 
the period.

Many positives build strength for the future 

At the start of the year, we restructured our insurance 
product portfolio and started the process of introducing a 
greater degree of on‑balance sheet funding. These initiatives 
will put us in a much stronger position for the future and 
will reduce our sensitivity to external factors and create a 
more stable revenue profile. Across the Group, we made 
further progress in terms of tender win rates and product 
penetration, helped by the continued diversification of our 
products and services offering. We again stepped up the 
rate of new tech‑driven product launches during the period 
and our investments in the DingGo repairer portal and the 
Carly vehicle subscription offerings both delivered record 
performances towards the end of the period. 

Across the Group, we made further 
progress in terms of tender win rates 
and product penetration, helped by the 
continued diversification of our products 
and services offering.

Annual Report 2020Significant changes in the state of affairs
Except for the impact of COVID-19, as detailed in Chairman’s 
report and Chief Executive Officer’s report, there were no other 
significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during 
the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is 
ongoing. The pandemic and associated restrictions had the 
following adverse impact on the Group up to 30 June 2020:
•  a reduction in the demand for new leased vehicles;
•  growth in the number of extensions of existing 

leased vehicles;

•  a reduction in the number of auctions held for the 

disposal of end of lease vehicles;

•  a reduction in demand for short-term hire vehicles;
•  the requirement to increase the levels of the residual 

value and inventory impairment provisions; and

•  the requirement to increase the level of the expected 

credit loss provision.

The Group is not entitled to the Australian Government’s 
JobKeeper wage subsidy program based on current regulations. 
The Group will continue to engage with the ATO and Treasury 
to establish whether discretion can be applied in order to 
accommodate the Group in the program. The Group received 
a $223,000 grant from the UK Government in relation to 
furloughed employees.

The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on 
measures imposed by the Australian Government and other 
countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, 
quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that 
may be provided. As such, it is not practicable to estimate the 
potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date.

Apart from the dividend declared as discussed above, no other 
matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has 
significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s 
operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state 
of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results 
of operations
Likely developments in the operations of the Group and the 
expected results of those operations are contained in the 
Chairman’s report and Chief Executive Officer’s report.

Environmental regulation
The Group is not subject to any significant environmental 
regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

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 KMP

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.

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.

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to 
shareholders’ interests. The Board has considered that it should 
seek to enhance shareholders’ interests by:
•  having economic profit as a key component of plan design;
•  focusing 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

•  attracting and retaining high calibre executives.

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance 
executives’ interests by:
•  rewarding capability and experience;
•  reflecting competitive reward for the achievement 

of strategic objectives and contribution to growth in 
shareholder wealth; and

•  providing a clear structure for earning rewards.

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

Directors’ report30 June 2020SG Fleet Group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.

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.

Non-Executive Director fees (Directors’ fees and committee 
fees) (inclusive of superannuation) are summarised as follows:

Executive remuneration
The Group aims to reward executives based on their position 
and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration 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 comprise 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 
performance 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.

Short-term incentives
The short-term incentives (‘STI’) program is designed to align 
the targets of the business units with the performance hurdles 
of executives. The STI program has a non-financial component 
and a financial component.

Non-financial component of STI
The non-financial component currently comprises 10% of 
the STI and the financial component 90%. The non-financial 
component will increase to 20% of the STI for the financial year 
ending 30 June 2021 onwards.

An individual performance gateway applies in relation to the 
award of the STI. For an executive to receive payment under 
the STI program, their performance must be assessed as being 
fully satisfactory. This includes their individual contribution 
to the Group’s organisational culture and demonstrating 
and upholding the shared values that underpin the Group’s 
purpose and ambition.

Upon successfully passing through the performance gateway, 
in order to earn the non-financial component of their STI, the 
Executive is appraised according to the achievement of key 
performance indicators (KPI’s) as well as the achievement of 
key strategic initiatives. KPI’s include productivity and product 
profitability measures. Key Strategic Initiatives are defined 
annually as part of the Group’s strategic planning and each 
year an assessment is made of the achievements against the 
initiatives set twelve months before. Strategic Initiatives include 
for example, new product development, significant technology 
and business systems development, innovation, customer wins 
and internal efficiency initiatives.

15

Annual Report 2020Group performance and link to remuneration – 
Financial component of STI
At the beginning of each year the NRC sets the growth target 
for the business units and for the Group as a whole for the 
purpose of the STI. A minimum profit growth gateway of 60% 
of the target growth rate applies in order for an executive to be 
entitled to the financial component of the STI.

The performance condition for the financial component of the 
STI is based on the compound annual growth rate (‘CAGR’) 
of the Group’s earnings per share (‘EPS’). EPS is determined 
by dividing the Company’s NPAT (‘net profit after tax’) by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during 
the financial year. The growth achieved for the year, and the 
achievement against the performance conditions for the 
purpose of the STI is determined by the Board in its absolute 
discretion, having regard to any matters that it considers 
relevant. To determine EPS for the purposes of the STI, the 
Board typically exercises its discretion to adjust the NPAT for 
the impact of non-recurring or significant transactions.

The STI is subject to a 12 month payment deferral in equity in 
respect of 25% of amount determined as payable.

Long-term incentives
Long-term incentives (‘LTI’) are typically granted annually to 
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 awards to Participants are made under the Equity Incentive 
Plan (‘EIP’) and are currently delivered in the form of share options 
and performance rights (‘LTI Instruments’). The number of LTI 
Instruments granted is based on a fixed percentage of the relevant 
Participant’s TFR and is issued to the Participant at no cost.

LTI Instruments currently granted to KMP typically vest over a 
three year period although from time to time the Board may 
approve a two year vesting period when deemed appropriate 
(the ‘Performance Period’).

The 2018 LTI was assessed in two tranches. Tranche 1 was 
assessed over the two-year Performance Period of 1 July 2017 
to 30 June 2019. Since the performance condition was not met, 
Tranche 1 did not vest. Tranche 2 was assessed over the three-
year Performance Period of 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020. Since 
the performance condition was not met, Tranche 2 did not vest.

No LTI was issued in 2019.

The 2020 LTI offer will be assessed over a Performance Period 
of 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2022 with vesting to occur in August 
2022 if the performance conditions are met.

The 2021 LTI offer will be assessed over a Performance Period 
of 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023 with vesting to occur in August 
2023 if the performance conditions are met.

Granting of the 2020 LTI and 2021 LTI to the Executive Directors 
will be subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General 
Meeting to be held on 27 October 2020. The 2020 LTI was 
granted to KMP’s other than the Executive Directors on 
25 November 2019.

Group performance and link to remuneration – LTI
The performance conditions for the LTI Instruments are 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.

EPS is determined by dividing the Company’s NPAT (‘net 
profit after tax’) by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares on issue during the financial year. The CAGR, and 
the achievement against the performance conditions for 
the purpose of the LTI is determined by the Board in its 
absolute discretion, having regard to any matters that 
it considers relevant. To determine the EPS CAGR for 
the purposes of the LTI, the Board typically exercises its 
discretion to adjust the NPAT for the impact of non-recurring 
or significant transactions.

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.

16

Directors’ report30 June 2020SG Fleet GroupFor the current LTI offers, 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 3%

3% (Threshold performance)

Between 3% and 7%

Nil

60%

Straight-line pro-rata vesting between 60% and 100%

7% or above (Stretch performance)

100%

Any LTI Instruments that remain unvested at the end of the 
Performance Period will lapse immediately. The Participant 
is entitled to receive one share for each right that vests. The 
Participant is entitled to receive one share for each option that 
vests and is exercised. The Participant must exercise any vested 
options within 3 years of vesting. After 3 years, any unexercised 
options will lapse. 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 Board may 
determine to implement a cashless exercise arrangement 
under which, in lieu of paying cash, the Board may permit 
a participant to pay the exercise price by forfeiting some of 
the vested options or forgoing some of the shares that would 
otherwise be allocated to the participant on exercise.

The LTI Instruments 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.

If the Participant ceases employment for cause, the 
unvested LTI Instruments automatically lapse unless the 
Board determines otherwise. In other circumstances, 
the LTI Instruments will remain on issue with a broad 
discretion for the Board to vest or lapse some or all 
of the LTI Instruments. The Board will ordinarily lapse 
LTI Instruments 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 
LTI Instruments and the Board will notify the Participant of 
the date on which any vested but unexercised options will 
expire. Where only some of the LTI Instruments are vested 
on a change of control event, the remainder of the LTI 
Instruments will immediately lapse.

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

Use of remuneration consultants
During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the Group did 
not engage any remuneration consultants, but implemented 
certain of the recommendations made by the remuneration 
consultants engaged during the year ended 30 June 2019.

Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2019 
Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’)
At the 2019 AGM, the shareholders voted to approve the 
adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 
30 June 2019. The feedback the Company received in the 
lead up to the AGM regarding its remuneration practices has 
been reflected in this remuneration report.

performance and KPI’s. As a result of the non-achievement

The growth achieved for the year, and the achievement 
against the performance conditions for the purpose of the 
STI is determined by the Board in its absolute discretion, 
having regard to any matters that it considers relevant. To 
determine EPS for the purposes of the STI, the Board typically 
exercises its discretion to adjust the NPAT for the impact of 
non-recurring or significant transactions.

The STI determined annually for each of the above KMP is 
subject to a 12 month payment deferral in equity in respect 
of 25% of the amount determined as payable.

Terms of termination:
In general the contract is terminated by providing 4 weeks’ 
notice by the Company and 3 months’ notice by the KMP. 
The KMP have no entitlement to termination payments 
in the event of removal for misconduct.

Annual Report 2020Auditor
KPMG continues in office in accordance with section 327 
of the Corporations Act 2001.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution 
of Directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the 
Corporations Act 2001.

On behalf of the Directors

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 32 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 32 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.

Officers of the Company who are former partners 
of KPMG
There are no officers of the Company who are former partners 
of KPMG.

Rounding of amounts
The Company is of a kind referred to in Corporations 
Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and 
Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts 
in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that 
Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, 
or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

SG Fleet GroupNotes to the financial statements
30 June 2020

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, 
vehicle leasing, short term hire, consumer vehicle finance and 
salary packaging services.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in 
accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 17 August 2020. 
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 years presented, unless 
otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for 
the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant 
impact on the financial performance or position of the Group.

Except as noted below, any new or amended Accounting 
Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have 
not been early adopted.

AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 ‘Leases’ was early adopted in the previous financial 
year with effect from 1 July 2018.

AASB 2020-4 Amendment to Australian Accounting 
Standards – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions
The Group has early adopted the amendment to AASB 16 
during the year. The amendment provides a practical expedient 
for lessees to account for COVID-19-related rent concessions 

that: result in lease payments that are substantially the same 
as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately 
prior to the change; where any reduction in the lease payments 
affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 
2021; and where there is no substantive change to other terms 
and conditions of the lease. The practical expedient allows 
an entity not to assess rent concessions meeting the criteria 
as a lease modification. As a result, to the extent that lease 
concessions represent a forgiveness or waiver of lease payments, 
such concessions are treated as variable lease payments 
recognised in profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment 
to the lease liability. To the extent that the lease concession 
in substance represents a delay in lease repayments such that 
lease consideration is not changed, the lease liability is not 
extinguished. Interest continues to accrue for that period. The 
Group has applied the practical expedient to all rent concessions 
that meet the above mentioned criteria. The impact of the 
adoption on the Group’s financial statements is not material.

Going concern
The Group prepares and reviews cash flow forecasts quarterly 
and in recent months due to the impact of COVID-19 has 
been doing so monthly. These forecasts demonstrate that the 
Group has sufficient cash, other liquid resources and undrawn 
credit facilities to enable the Group to meet its obligations as 
they fall due. As such the directors considered it appropriate to 
adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the 
financial report.

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 certain financial 
instruments measured 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.

33

Annual Report 2020Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued
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 36.

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets 
and liabilities of all subsidiaries of SG Fleet Group Limited as 
at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year 
then ended.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has 
control at the end of, or during the year. 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. 
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where 
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted 
by the Group.

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.

Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it 
derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and 
non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any 
cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The 
Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received 
and the fair value of any investment retained together with any 
gain or loss in profit or loss.

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.

Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the entity’s 
functional currency 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.

Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the 
consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled 
in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. 
For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies 
the contract with a customer; identifies the performance 
obligations in the contract; determines the transaction 
price which takes into account estimates of variable 
consideration and the time value of money; allocates the 
transaction price to the separate performance obligations 
on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each 
distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises 
revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied 
in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the 
goods or services promised.

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if 
any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such 
as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses 
receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. 

34

SG Fleet GroupNotes to the financial statements30 June 2020Such estimates are determined using either the ‘expected 
value’ or ‘most likely amount’ method. The measurement of 
variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle 
whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent 
that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the 
amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. 
The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty 
associated with the variable consideration is subsequently 
resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining 
principle are initially recognised as a contract liability.

Management and maintenance income
Fleet management income and management fees are brought 
to account over time on a straight-line basis over the term of 
the lease, due to the continuous service received by customers 
over the term of lease.

Maintenance income is recognised for each performance 
obligation at a point in time when the service is provided and 
obligation fulfilled. 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 and the performance obligation has 
been satisfied. Specifically, upfront establishment fees levied 
to customer to establish the contract for the services to be 
provided for the term of the contract, are recognised over the 
term of the contract. Revenue related to the waiver of the 
lessee’s wear and tear obligations is recognised at the point in 
time, being at the end of the lease term.

Funding commissions
Introductory commissions earned are recognised in profit 
or loss in full at a point in time, being in the month in 
which the finance is introduced to the relevant financier. 
Trailing commissions earned for the collection and distribution 
of ongoing customer rentals to the financier are recognised 
over time.

End of lease income
Income earned after the expiry of the lease is recognised when 
it is received or when the performance obligation, being the 
sale of vehicle, transferring the risk and reward to the end 
buyer, has been satisfied and the right to receive payment is 
established. The gross selling price of the vehicle is recognised 
as End of Lease income and the value of the vehicle at the end 
of the lease period payable to the financier, is recognised as 
End of Lease cost of sale.

Rental income
Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or 
loss over time, 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.

Government grants
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and 
recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match 
them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

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.

35

Annual Report 2020Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued
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 allowance for expected 
credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for 
settlement within 30 days.

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring 
expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss 
allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade 
receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

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

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any 
allowance for expected credit losses.

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.

At inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents 
the economic relationship between hedging instruments and 
hedged items including whether changes in the cash flows 
of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in 
the cash flows of hedged items. The Group documents its risk 
management objective and strategy for undertaking its hedge 
transactions.

The Group has elected to adopt the general hedge accounting 
model in AASB 9. This requires the Group to ensure that 
hedge accounting relationships are aligned with its risk 
management objectives and strategy and to apply a more 
qualitative and forward-looking approach to assessing hedge 
effectiveness. Where derivative instruments do not qualify 
for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value are recognised 
immediately in profit or loss.

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.

When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold or terminated, 
or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge 
accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss in equity 
at that time remains in equity until the forecast transaction 
occurs. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected 
to occur, the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs 
of hedging that were classified in equity are immediately 
reclassified to profit or loss.

SG Fleet GroupNotes to the financial statements30 June 2020Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are 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   
Computer hardware and  
office equipment   
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 the ‘Leases – Group as lessor – 
leased motor vehicles assets’ accounting policy.

Leases

Group as lessee
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a 
contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract 
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset 
for a period of time in exchange for consideration, and the 
Group obtains substantially all the economic benefits of the 
use of the assets.

The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient 
to account for each lease component and any non-lease 
components as a single lease component.

Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability 
at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is 
initially measured at cost which comprises the initial amount 
of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease 
payments made at or before the commencement date net of 
lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and 
an estimate of costs required for dismantling and removing 
the underlying asset, site restoral and asset restoral. Right-of-
use assets are subsequently measured applying a cost model 
such that the asset is depreciated and impaired as required or 
adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.

Where the lease transfers ownership of the asset to the 
lessee by the end of the lease term, or if the cost of the asset 
reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, the 
lessee shall depreciate the right-of-use asset to the end of 
the asset’s useful life, otherwise, the assets are depreciated 
to the earlier of the end of their useful lives or the lease 
term using the straight-line method as this most closely 
reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future 
economic benefits.

The lease term represents the non-cancellable period of 
the lease and includes periods covered by an option to 
extend if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that 
option. Lease terms shall only be revised if there is a change 
in the non-cancellable period or there is a reassessment 
upon a significant event or a change in circumstances 
that is both within the control of the lessee and affects 
whether or not the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an 
option. Lease terms range from 1 to 14 years. In addition, the 
right-of-use assets are periodically reduced by impairment 
losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements 
of the lease liability.

Lease liabilities – right-of-use assets
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of 
the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement 
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease 
or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s 
incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its 
incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments comprise fixed lease payments less 
incentives receivable, variable lease payments, residual 
value guarantees payable, exercise price of purchase options 
where exercise is reasonably certain, and any anticipated 
termination penalties made over the expected term of the 
lease which includes optional periods where option exercise 
is considered reasonably certain. Variable lease payments 
include those dependent upon an index, interest rate or 
market but are included only using the index or rate existing 
at commencement date.

The variable lease payments that do not depend on an 
index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are 
incurred. Variable lease payments include rent concessions 
in the form of rent forgiveness or a waiver as a direct 
consequence of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 
and which relate to payments originally due on or before 
30 June 2021.

37

Annual Report 2020 
 
 
Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a 
change in future lease payments arising from a change in an 
index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of 
the amount expected to be payable under a residual value 
guarantee, or there is a change in lease term such as if the 
Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a 
purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease 
liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment 
is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or to 
the profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount has 
been reduced to zero. Interest on the lease liability and variable 
lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease 
liability are recognised in profit or loss.

The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient not to 
recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term 
leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases 
of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with these 
leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis 
over the lease term.

Group as lessor
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers all the 
risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets. A 
lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer 
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership 
of underlying assets.

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 payments 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 vehicle 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 two to five 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 of 
amortisation and the 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.

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
The customer contracts acquired in a business combination 
are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being their finite useful lives of ten years.

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.

Brand name
The brand name acquired in a business combination is 
amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of its 
expected benefit, being a finite useful life of ten years. Brand 
name has been fully impaired in the previous financial year.

38

SG Fleet GroupNotes to the financial statements30 June 2020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.

Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities represent the Group’s obligation to transfer 
goods or services to a customer and are recognised when a 
customer pays consideration, or when the Group recognises 
a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration 
(whichever is earlier) before the Group has transferred the 
goods or services to the customer.

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
Maintenance income is recognised for each performance 
obligation at the point in time when the service is provided 
and the obligation is completed. Maintenance costs are 
expensed when 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.

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. 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.

39

Annual Report 2020Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued

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 is 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 is 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.

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 at 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.

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.

Vehicle maintenance funds
Vehicle maintenance funds represents amounts collected 
from customers for vehicles under management, with such 
amounts subsequently used for payments for ongoing vehicle 
maintenance expenses such as fuel, service cost, registration 
and other charges. Any unused amounts at the end of the lease 
period are refunded to the customers.

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.

SG Fleet GroupNotes to the financial statements30 June 2020Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account 
for business combinations regardless of whether equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired.

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date 
fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued 
or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the 
acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the 
acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the 
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. 
All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.

On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the financial 
assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification 
and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, 
economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies 
and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the 
Group remeasures its previously held equity interest in the 
acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference 
between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is 
recognised in profit or loss.

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer 
is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent 
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration 
classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. 
Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured 
and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets 
acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in 
the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred 
and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree 
is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred 
and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the 
identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to 
the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in 
profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only 
after a reassessment of the identification and measurement 
of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the 
acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer’s 
previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a 
provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the 
provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional 
assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on 
new information obtained about the facts and circumstances 
that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period 
ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the 
acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information 
possible to determine fair value.

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 Corporations 
Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and 
Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts 
in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that 
Corporations Instrument 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 2020. 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.

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 
(Conceptual Framework)
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual 
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and 
early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework 
contains new definition and recognition criteria as well 
as new guidance on measurement that affects several 
Accounting Standards. Where the Group has relied on the 
existing framework in determining its accounting policies for 
transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt 
with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the Group 
may need to review such policies under the revised framework. 
At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework 
is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s 
financial statements.

41

Annual Report 2020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.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
The Group has applied significant critical judgements in 
the preparation of the financial statements, incorporating 
the Board’s best estimates of the foreseeable impact of 
COVID-19 on the Group’s statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income and statement of financial position. 
This consideration extends to the nature of the products 
and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and 
geographic regions in which the Group operates.

Revenue from maintenance income
As discussed in note 2, the Group estimates the maintenance 
income to be recognised for each performance obligation 
according to a point in time when the service is provided 
and obligation fulfilled. These calculations require the 
use of assumptions, including an estimation of the profit 
margin to be achieved over the life of the contract for each 
performance obligation.

Goodwill
The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or 
changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether 
goodwill has 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 value-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.

Income tax
The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions 
in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in 
determining the provision for income tax. There are many 
transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary 
course of business for which the ultimate tax determination 
is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated 
tax audit issues based on the Group’s current understanding 
of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters 
is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will 
impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in 
which such determination is made.

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 underlying EBITDA (earnings before 
interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, impairment and other 
non-recurring or significant transactions). The accounting 
policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are 
consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.

The information regarding products and services are detailed 
in note 5.

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.

Due to COVID-19, the Group has experienced lower demand for end-of-lease vehicles. In addition, there has been a reduction in 
the number of auctions held. These factors have had an adverse impact on the prices of end of lease vehicles held for disposal. 
This has been reflected in the impairment of inventory.

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 5 was 

projected at a growth rate of 0% (2019: 0%) for both CGUs;

•  Revenue growth was projected at 4.8% (2019: 3.9%) per annum for the Australian CGU and 6.5% (2019: 7.4%) per annum for 

the United Kingdom CGU;

•  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 8.64% (2019: 9.93%) was used for the Australian CGU and 6.74% (2019: 7.12%) for the United Kingdom CGU.

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. Projected cash flows represent management’s best estimate of the foreseeable impact 
of the uncertainties on the business operations in the short-term due to COVID-19.

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.

SG Fleet GroupNotes to the financial statements30 June 2020Lease make good
The provision represents the present value of the estimated costs to make good the premises leased by the Group at the end of 
the respective lease terms.

Residual risk provision
The provision is to recognise the future liability relating to residual value exposures as described in note 2 and note 3. Due to 
COVID-19, the Group has experienced lower demand for end-of-lease vehicles. In addition, there has been a reduction in the 
number of auctions held. These factors have had an impact on the prices of end-of-lease vehicles held for disposal, which were 
taken into consideration in the residual value provision.

Other provisions
The provision represents the potential loss arising from overdrawn vehicle running cost accounts in relation to novated leases.

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.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as 
total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

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 year.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2019 Annual Report.

SG Fleet GroupNotes to the financial statements30 June 2020Note 29. 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 responsibility 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 the 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, unless approved 
by the Board, 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.

As at the reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate bank accounts and other facilities after impact of hedging 
instruments:

An official increase/decrease in interest rates of 50 (2019: 50) basis points would have a favourable/adverse effect on profit before 
tax and equity of $429,000 (2019: $342,000) per annum. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest 
rates using market data and analyst’s forecasts.

63

Annual Report 2020Note 29. Financial instruments continued

Derivatives interest rate swap
The Group has entered into interest rate swap contracts with notional/principal value as at 30 June 2020 of $109,059,000 (2019: 
$109,703,000). The interest rate swap contract hedges the Group’s risk against an increase in variable interest rate. The contract is 
over a three year period maturing in December 2022. Weighted average fixed rate is 1.93% (2019: 1.99%).

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.

The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the 
use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across 
all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is 
available. As disclosed in note 9, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the calculation of expected credit losses has been 
revised as at 30 June 2020 and rates have increased in each category.

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the 
failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a 
period greater than 1 year.

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.

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.

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value. The carrying amounts of trade 
receivables and trade payables 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 observable 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.

Annual Report 2020Note 34. 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 Group then sells the vehicles and realises a profit or loss on sale. Bank guarantees, letters of credit and cash 
lock-ups have been issued to lease portfolio financiers as security for these obligations.

An amount of $10,704,000 (2019: $10,528,000) has been recognised as a residual value provision and an amount of $205,000 
(2019: $174,000) has been recognised as an impairment provision respectively, 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.

Note 42. Events after the reporting period
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing. The pandemic and associated restrictions had the following 
adverse impact on the Group up to 30 June 2020:
•  a reduction in the demand for new leased vehicles;
•  growth in the number of extensions of existing leased vehicles;
•  a reduction in the number of auctions held for the disposal of end of lease vehicles;
•  a reduction in demand for short-term hire vehicles;
•  the requirement to increase the levels of the residual value and inventory impairment provisions; and
•  the requirement to increase the level of the expected credit loss provision.

The Group is not entitled to the Australian Government’s JobKeeper wage subsidy program based on current regulations. The 
Group will continue to engage with the ATO and Treasury to establish whether discretion can be applied in order to accommodate 
the Group in the program. The Group received a $223,000 grant from the UK Government in relation to furloughed employees.

The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, 
such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be 
provided. As such, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date.

Apart from the dividend declared as disclosed in note 28, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has 
significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of 
affairs in future financial years.

SG Fleet Group76Key Audit Matters The Key Audit Matters we identified are: •valuation of goodwill; •recognition of residual risk provision; and •measurement of deferred maintenance income. 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 period.  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.  Valuation of goodwill (AUD $356.5m) Refer to Note 15 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Valuation of goodwill is a Key Audit Matter due to: •the size of the balance (being 52% of total assets); and •the high level of judgement involved by us in assessing the inputs to the Group's annual assessment of impairment model, and the significantly higher estimation uncertainty continuing from the business disruption impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic. We focused on the significant forward-looking assumptions the Group applied in its value in use model, including: •forecast cash flows, including the impact of COVID-19 on market conditions and underlying growth rates, which can vary based on the rate of economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, which can vary based on a number of factors such as the number and fleet size of new customer wins, residual values, industry growth projections and inflation expectations. The Group operates across different geographies with varying market pressures, which increases the risk of inaccurate forecasts; and •the discount rates, which are complicated in nature and may vary according to the conditions and environment the specific cash generating units (CGUs) are subject to Our procedures included: •assessing the appropriateness of the value in use method applied by the Group to perform the annual test of goodwill for impairment against the requirements of the accounting standards; •assessing the integrity of the value in use model, including the accuracy of the underlying calculation formulas; •assessing the accuracy of previous Group forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts incorporated in the model. We considered factors such as the number and fleet size of new customer wins, residual values, industry growth, inflation experienced and historical trends where varying market pressures existed across different geographies and how they impacted the business, for use in further testing; •working with our valuation specialists in assessing the Group's discount rates against publicly available data for a group of comparable entities and independently developing a discount rate range considered comparable using this data. We adjusted this range by risk factors specific to the Group and the industry it operates in;  Independent auditor’s report

Annual Report 202077from time to time. We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior audit team members in assessing this key audit matter. •meeting with management/those charged with governance to understand changes in the Group’s plans resulting from COVID-19, and potential future impacts to the Group;•challenging the Group's cash flow forecast and growth assumptions in light of the expected continuation of unprecedented uncertainty of business disruption and impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic, including those related to fleet size and growth assumptions across different geographies, using our knowledge of the Group and its industry. This included comparing the Group's growth assumptions to external data, such as industry growth projections and inflation expectations across different geographies;•considering the sensitivity of the model by varying key assumptions, such as discount rates and forecast growth rates, within a reasonably possible range. This allowed us to identify assumptions with a higher risk of bias or inconsistency in application, and to assess the presence of indicators of impairment; and•assessing the disclosures in the Financial Report using our understanding obtained from our testing and against the requirements of the accounting standards. Recognition of residual risk provision  (AUD $10.7m) Refer to Note 20 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The recognition of the residual risk provision is considered to be a Key Audit Matter. This is owing to the significant audit effort required and the high degree of judgment applied by us in assessing the Group’s residual risk provision. We focused on gathering evidence on the completeness of the residual value calculation and other key inputs used by the Group to Our procedures included: •assessing the accounting treatment of theGroup’s residual risk provision methodology tothe relevant accounting standards;•testing the key control for the Group's residualrisk provision process being the quarterlyevaluation and authorisation of the residualIndependent auditor’s report

SG Fleet Group78determine the residual risk provision. The Group has entered into agreements with financiers which requires the transfer of the asset ownership and the associated residual risk inherent in operating lease assets from the financier to the Group at the end of the operating leases.  The determination of the probable residual risk provision is based on the Group’s judgment in determining shortfalls on the disposal of these assets once ownership is transferred to the Group. It also takes into account market conditions and macroeconomic factors, such as inherent volatility of the asset’s disposal value due to changes in market conditions between the balance date and future date at which the assets will be disposed. Our testing focused on the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions caused by COVID-19 and the impact on the determination of estimated shortfalls in vehicle disposals.   It is the Group’s policy to recognise a provision if the forecast sale proceeds of the asset is less than the residual value payable to the financier. This requires us to use our judgment when considering the Group’s assessment, as the ultimate sale proceeds are subject to the condition of the asset and market conditions at the end of the lease. Residual value estimates are also a key input into the Group’s depreciation and impairment calculations for motor vehicles. value calculation by senior management; •comparing the market conditions and macroeconomic factors underpinning the Group's determination of the probable residual values against published market reports and statistical economic information (i.e. ABS-published data), a key determinant in the residual risk provision, for use in further testing. Our procedures included comparing the impact of COVID-19 on used car sales prices against publicly available industry studies and authoritative and credible sources; •assessing the Group's ability to accurately estimate residual values at the end of the lease term. This is performed by comparing the historical residual valuation of a sample of vehicles to the actual sale proceeds received from previous disposals from comparable vehicle classes; and •comparing a sample of the current residual valuation of the motor vehicles against the current market value of these motor vehicles using recent external auction prices achieved for comparable assets.   Measurement of deferred maintenance income (AUD $37.9m) Refer to Note 25 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit It is the Group’s policy that periodic payments received from customers for maintenance services are initially recognised on the balance sheet as deferred maintenance income. Revenue is subsequently recognised when maintenance work is completed and supplier costs incurred. The amount released from deferred maintenance income and recognised as revenue is determined based on the stand-Our procedures included: •assessing the Group's revenue recognition policy against AASB 15 requirements; •assessing the historical accuracy of the Group's estimates of life of contract costs by comparing past estimates to actual costs incurred; Independent auditor’s report

This is due to the audit effort and judgment involved in assessing the Group's estimations, which includes consideration of key inputs to the Group’s internal pricing cost and margin calculations, and supplier costs. •analysing vehicle maintenance costs anddeveloping expectations of maintenanceexpense which is a key input to the standalone selling price of maintenance services.We used our knowledge of the Group, thecomposition of the Group’s fleet (e.g. vehiclemakes, types and condition), and other keymetrics such as number of vehicles in thefleet. We compared this to the maintenanceexpenses recorded by the Group;•Developing expectations of the deferredmaintenance income per vehicle against actualexperience as obtained from our testing above.We compared this to the deferredmaintenance income recorded by the Group;and•assessing the additions to deferredmaintenance income by comparing a sample ofentries to the underlying maintenance servicesbilled to customers and against the amountspecified in the lease.Other Information Other Information is financial and non-financial information in SG Fleet Group Limited’s annual reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report.
