Australia Annual Report 20222 LeasePlan ACQUISITION OF LEASEPLAN AUSTRALIA / NEW ZEALAND On 1 September 2021, SG Fleet acquired the Australian and New Zealand businesses of international fleet management and leasing company LeasePlan Corporation NV. LeasePlan ANZ has operated in the region for over 30 years. At the time of the acquisition, the business had six locations in Australia and three in New Zealand, employing approximately 430 staff and managing over 100,000 vehicles. LeasePlan ANZ offers a products and services range similar to that of SG Fleet. Its customer base is diversified across a range of industries and the business has always been recognised for its strong service culture. The acquisition included an international alliance agreement with LeasePlan Corporation NV to share business opportunities and exchange know-how, a unique advantage in the Australian and New Zealand markets. TRANSFORMING FLEET MANAGEMENT AND LEASING IN THE REGION The bringing together of the SG Fleet and LeasePlan ANZ businesses has created an industry leader in fleet management and leasing across Australia and New Zealand. The merged entity employs over 1,100 staff and manages approximately 270,000 vehicles. The businesses are combining expertise and strengths across different customer segments and product types, extending the depth and quality of SG Fleet’s customer base and introducing new products and services to the business portfolio. “ The bringing together of the SG Fleet and LeasePlan ANZ businesses has created an industry leader in fleet management and leasing across Australia and New Zealand.” Our in-house Innovation Team has introduced recently launched products to the joint sales force and LeasePlan ANZ’s existing offering has been made available to SG Fleet customers. The increased scale created by the acquisition and the sharing of available processes and resources significantly improve our ability to compete for business and enhance the customer experience. SG Fleet and LeasePlan ANZ staff have moved into shared offices. Cultural alignment between the two businesses is exceptionally strong, facilitating a best-of-breed approach that taps into the additional knowledge and expertise now available. SG Fleet intends to grow the combined business and deliver a comprehensive suite of products and services, together with best-in-class service, to its customers across the region. SG Fleet Group LimitedInnovation DRIVING DECARBONISATION A customer survey conducted in 2022 by SG Fleet found that fleet managers identified decarbonisation as the single largest impact on the operation of corporate fleets. A significant proportion also reported setting sustainability objectives in their organisations. Not surprisingly, the advent of electric vehicles was seen as the most ground-breaking transport innovation and interest in low- or zero-emission propulsion has continued to grow at a rapid pace. As a leader in the EV space, we are expanding our services from a pure focus on facilitating the introduction of EVs to a more holistic approach to decarbonisation of transport and the setting of emission reduction targets. Our advice will incorporate recommendations on other vehicle characteristics influencing emission levels, such as tyres, while our expertise in driver training will allow us to promote trip planning and driving techniques that will help our customers achieve their environmental objectives. SG Fleet will also continue to develop light touch/low cost safety management and emission reduction solutions for non-fleet drivers. To support the development of this industry-leading expertise, we are actively fostering the ‘future of mobility’ knowledge of our own people with the roll-out of an EV and charging e-learning module on our online training platform. ESTART EVOLVES The expansion of our role and expertise in assisting our customers with their decarbonisation approach is also reflected in the continued evolution of our eStart EV transition solution. In addition to the provision of the eStart service to a widening range of customer segments, including small and medium enterprises, it will evolve from a fleet management EV tool into a broader premium offering delivered by specialist consultants. 3 The next-generation eStart provides comprehensive facilitation of decision-making in the pursuit of any organisation’s broader sustainability ambitions. The service will offer a flexible menu of options and a tailor-made transition plan to solve our customers’ specific needs and aspirations. ZOOMO SG Fleet is rapidly evolving its products and services offering into a full Mobility-as-a-Service capability. During the 2022 financial year, the company took a strategic stake in Zoomo, which is breaking new ground in the micro-mobility world with its eBike offering. Micro-mobility is seen as a sustainable and efficient solution for last mile delivery and personal transport. We will be introducing Zoomo as a viable mobility alternative to our corporate and government customers, as well as through our novated leasing channels. Together with the company’s asset management tool Bookingintelligence and the subscription services provided by Carly, Zoomo’s solutions will play an important part in how SG Fleet will shape the future of mobility. “ Zoomo’s solutions will play an important part in how SG Fleet will shape the future of mobility.” Training Program Change Management EVC Deployment Customer Goals Workshop EV Deployment Transition Plan Annual Report 2022ESG STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT SG Fleet determines its sustainability reporting categories by considering the nature of its business operations, which are predominantly the provision of services in an office-based environment. During the 2022 financial year, we undertook an ESG Materiality Assessment to further optimise how we determine our key ESG risks, how we approach the management of these risks, and how we report on our risk management in the yearly Sustainability Statement. Environmental, Social & Governance Strategy 4 Sustainability statement SG Fleet’s approach to long-term value creation for all of its stakeholders is driven by the principle that industry-leading environmental, social and governance behaviours should be integrated into daily business practices. The company established a Sustainability Committee, governed by a Charter, in 2019. In 2021, SG Fleet issued its first Sustainability Statement. The 2022 Sustainability Statement outlines the relevant actions taken by the company during the 2022 financial year with respect to the ESG risks identified as material in the Group ESG Strategy.

Australian operations SG Fleet Group Limited5 “ SG Fleet re-prioritised a number of ESG-related initiatives to harmonise the approach of the acquired entity with its own.” LEASEPLAN ACQUISITION On 1 September 2021, SG Fleet acquired the Australian and New Zealand businesses of international fleet management and leasing company, LeasePlan Corporation NV. As part of the integration of this acquisition, SG Fleet re-prioritised a number of ESG-related initiatives to harmonise the approach of the acquired entity with its own. As a result, work on the initial certification for the ISO 20400 Sustainable Procurement and the ISO 26000 Social Responsibility standards was paused to focus on the introduction at group-level of ISO standards already present in parts of the combined business. This includes the ISO 14001 Environment Management and the ISO 45001 Health & Safety Management standards. The harmonisation process continues in the 2023 financial year. The acquisition integration also led to the temporary pausing of a number of other ESG-related initiatives earmarked for the 2022 financial year, such as the exploration of recycled waste collection options and the introduction of indigenous education programs. These initiatives will be re-started in the 2023 financial year. This process included the following steps: – Development of an initial risk universe To ensure a comprehensive assessment of all possible ESG risks, SG Fleet developed a risk register based on the categorisation defined by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). A number of categories specific to the environment in the geographies in which we operate were added to these standards, as well as those linked to reporting requirements in these countries. The resulting risk register included 36 ESG categories. – Stakeholder materiality assessment SG Fleet reached out to both internal and external stakeholders to gather data about the perceived importance of the 36 ESG risks to each stakeholder group and the impact of the management of these risks on stakeholders’ assessment and decisions with respect to the company. – Reporting requirements SG Fleet took into consideration risks related to specific reporting requirements, even if these risks would not normally be perceived as material from a stakeholder’s perspective. The findings of this process were recorded in a risk materiality matrix, which outlines the risks most relevant to our stakeholders and our business. In some instances, risks that would be deemed less material from the perspective of the company’s business activities were identified as material from the perspective of certain external stakeholders and accordingly were retained as a key risk for the purpose of the ESG Strategy. The ESG Strategy was reviewed and approved by SG Fleet Group Limited’s Board after the end of the 2022 financial year. From the 2023 financial year onwards, a yearly Action Plan will be developed prior to the start of each financial reporting period. This Action Plan will detail the execution of the company’s ESG risk management, in line with the ESG Strategy. Annual Report 20226 ENVIRONMENT “ The Australian operations of SG Fleet obtained ClimateActive certification as a carbon neutral organisation during the reported period.” 22% REDUCTION IN SCOPE 1 AND 2 EMISSIONS SG Fleet ensures its day-to-day operations minimise resource consumption, waste and emissions. In addition, we work with our customers, business partners and suppliers to assist them with their environmental impact reduction initiatives. SG Fleet’s ESG Materiality Assessment identified the following environmental risks as material to the company: – Levels of emission impacting the environment Risks that are perceived as relevant to the wider community, even if not directly material to SG Fleet due to the nature of its business, are: – Other environmental risks, such as energy consumption levels and waste EMISSIONS As an office-based services company, SG Fleet does not produce meaningful levels of CO2 in its day-to-day business operations. The company only operates a small internal fleet of vehicles and the provision of its services does not generally require significant travel or transport. We view it as our duty to deploy our knowledge and help others reduce the impact of their transport activities and make a positive contribution to the environment. SG Fleet continuously explores options to further cut emissions across Scope 1 and 2 and, where under the company’s control, Scope 3. In order to reduce the use of consumables, measures have been introduced to lower the amount of printing. This resulted in a 57% reduction in paper usage, equivalent to ca. 7.4 tonnes of CO2 emissions. Emission reduction efforts have also targeted excessive air travel, although during the reported period, the return of business activity post-COVID-19 led to an increase in air travel over the preceding year, adding 104 tonnes in CO2 emissions. Road mileage by our staff (excluding commuting) was reduced by 5%, a reduction of CO2 emissions by ca. 19 tonnes. Where motor travel is essential, we seek to increase the use of low- or zero-emission vehicles. Total Scope 1 and 2 emissions were reduced by 22% during the reported period. Total emissions per FTE related to fuel and energy usage, air travel, and paper consumption were reduced by 40%1. With regards to customers, we offer the eStart Zero Emission Vehicle Transition Planning service, which plans and executes the transition from internal combustion to lower emission vehicles for our customers’ fleets. In the reported period, the number of electric vehicles in the managed fleet increased by 128%. We also ask all our preferred suppliers to develop and submit their strategies and initiatives to reduce emissions. The Australian operations of SG Fleet obtained ClimateActive certification as a carbon neutral organisation during the reported period. Future Focus SG Fleet aims to lower its GHG emission intensity ratio by putting in place additional initiatives to reduce overall emissions from company-owned resources, purchased energy and applicable Scope 3 categories. We aim to increase the percentage of zero-emission vehicles in our own fleet and have put in place a group EV strategy to further promote take-up of zero emission vehicles amongst our customers as well as in the wider community. Our goal is to help change behaviours across all of our stakeholder groups (customers, employees, business partners and suppliers) in terms of emissions awareness and mitigation. 1. All year-on-year comparisons exclude emissions and energy consumption data from the businesses acquired during the reported period SG Fleet Group Limited7 25% REDUCTION IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION “ Our objective is to obtain 100% of our electricity from renewable resources” ENERGY CONSUMPTION WASTE SG Fleet’s energy consumption is largely limited to the operation of its office and warehouse locations, including lighting, power sources, and heating. We are transitioning some of our office operations, such as lighting, to more energy-efficient solutions. In the reported period, the lighting transition process was completed, resulting in a 25% net reduction in energy consumption overall. We currently obtain 94% of our electricity from renewable, green resources. Where possible, the company explores opportunities with its landlords to further improve the sustainability of its office locations. SG Fleet has an Environmental Impact and Performance Policy and holds ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification for parts of its business. Future Focus SG Fleet aims to lower its energy intensity ratio by putting in place additional initiatives to reduce overall energy consumption, including the adoption of ‘smart working’ set-ups. Our objective is to obtain 100% of our electricity from renewable resources as the business grows. SG Fleet will also move to a group-wide ISO 14001 certification. SG Fleet does not produce meaningful quantities of waste for packaging or other purposes, but our aim is to further minimise waste generation in the conduct of our business. Where waste is generated, for example in the operation of offices, we explore opportunities to divert waste from disposal via the process of recycling triage. Future Focus In cooperation with our employees, we will investigate options to further reduce waste generation and optimise our disposal process, particularly in the areas of paper, food and equipment disposal, and the use of water. SG Fleet will also cooperate with its suppliers to pursue similar objectives. OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS While due to the nature of its business, SG Fleet does not utilise a meaningful amount of packaging materials or consume and discharge significant amounts of water, we do approach the management of any materials and water consumption as an integral part of our overall environmental approach. Accordingly, we continue our efforts to minimise associated impacts. As an office-based business located in urban areas, SG Fleet’s activities have a negligible direct impact on natural habitats. Future Focus During the reporting period, SG Fleet explored the extent to which its suppliers are minimising their impact on the environment. This assessment identified a wide range of approaches of varying effectiveness. Moving forward, we intend to introduce minimum environmental standards for the selection and engagement of suppliers to promote impact reduction initiatives in our supply chain. Annual Report 20228 SOCIAL As part of SG Fleet’s recruitment process, vacancies are evaluated for their suitability for flexible work arrangements and for arrangements other than full time. Eligible employees are able to participate in a ‘Purchase Annual Leave’ program to assist with balancing family commitments. We have also introduced employer-funded parental leave, a sick-leave donation program, and Wellness Days in addition to annual leave entitlements. Future Focus SG Fleet will continue to implement strategies that support role and work flexibility, including the adoption of workplace arrangements and approaches that reflect a greater awareness of the social impacts of working conditions. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY Safety in the workplace is of paramount importance to SG Fleet. We view a safe and welcoming environment as an essential prerequisite for the wellbeing and productivity of our employees. In addition to providing our staff with a healthy work environment, we conduct regular e-training on a range of topics that can impact their wellbeing. These modules include sexual harassment prevention, work health and safety awareness, workplace bullying and occupational violence, and COVID-19 awareness. SG Fleet also has a Group Exposure Control Policy. In addition to risk mitigation education, we encourage our staff to proactively look after their physical and mental wellbeing. We provide access to a range of staff wellness benefits and activities. SG Fleet holds ISO 45001 OH&S Management certification for parts of its business. Future Focus We intend to investigate other occupational health and safety aspects (with an increased focus on mental health), within the workplace and in support of our employees’ wellbeing outside the workplace and at home. SG Fleet will move to a group-wide ISO 45001 certification. “ We have introduced Wellness Days in addition to annual leave entitlements.” SG Fleet respects and seeks to further the interests of its customers, its employees and the wider communities in which we operate. Our culture is one of trust, respect, care and responsibility, and we aim to apply this in all our interactions with every individual, as well as with community groups. SG Fleet’s ESG Materiality Assessment identified the following social risks as material to the company: – Working conditions (employment) and training – Diversity, non-discrimination, and equal opportunity – Occupational health & safety – Customer privacy and data security Risks that are perceived as relevant to the wider community, even if not directly material to SG Fleet due to the nature of its business, are: – Forced or compulsory labour in the company and its supply chain (Modern Slavery) – Human rights – Support of indigenous communities WORKING CONDITIONS SG Fleet’s success as a business and its ability to deliver excellence in services and products to its customers relies on a motivated workforce. Providing a positive work environment and optimal work conditions is an essential component of our efforts to support our employees. SG Fleet Group Limited9 “ SG Fleet is a complying employer with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency.” As at 30 June 2022, the company’s workforce was made up of 46% women and 54% men. SG Fleet complies fully with the Workplace Gender Equality Act (2012) and is a complying employer with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. We conduct regular e-training on equal employment opportunity. Future Focus SG Fleet continues to work towards a diverse workforce, including balanced gender representation at Board and Senior Management level. The company intends to widen its diversity focus to other areas, in addition to gender, and ensure that a more diverse representation also translates into actual inclusion of more diverse opinions. NON-DISCRIMINATION We celebrate the diverse range of cultural backgrounds and experiences of our employees and provide a work environment that is free from discrimination. In addition, SG Fleet is committed to ensuring no discrimination occurs against customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. SG Fleet’s Code of Conduct stipulates compliance with the letter and spirit of a full range of anti-discrimination laws to establish a workplace free from any kind of discrimination. The company conducts regular e-training on discrimination to reinforce awareness and correct behaviours. Future Focus SG Fleet will continue to improve relevant education as well as enhance the necessary processes to identify and address related incidents. We will also investigate initiatives that will help break down perceptions that foster discrimination. TRAINING SG Fleet is committed to supporting the continued growth of its people. We have a reputation within the industry of developing the best available talent and expertise. Upskilling our staff is essential in order to retain our industry leadership position. SG Fleet’s staff are given access to internal and external development opportunities, such as training programs and courses. Mentoring arrangements are also in place for appropriate roles and functions. All staff receive regular performance and career development reviews. Future Focus SG Fleet will investigate opportunities to extend the range of its current training structures, both in terms of training topics and the ability of staff to access training. We will also implement initiatives to optimise the onboarding and continued education process. DIVERSITY AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY SG Fleet’s business success is built on the expertise of its people. We recognise the importance of being an inclusive employer and have a strong commitment to equal opportunity and diversity, with a focus on gender diversity. Diversity drives the company’s ability to attract, retain and develop the best talent, create an engaged workforce, deliver the highest quality of service to customers, and achieve sustainable growth. Annual Report 202210 SOCIAL CONTINUED MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT 2021 FORCED OR COMPULSORY LABOUR SG Fleet does not tolerate any form of enslavement or exploitation and we are committed to ensuring measures are in place to minimise the risk of modern slavery in our business and in our supply chain. The company has voluntarily put in place a Modern Slavery Policy, which outlines our overall approach to combatting modern slavery. In the reporting period, this included a comprehensive survey of approximately 10,000 suppliers to identify any modern slavery risks, as well as the review of the modern slavery statements of our preferred suppliers. No significant risks, issues or causes of concern were identified through this process in the 2022 financial year. SG Fleet issues Modern Slavery Statements overviewing its initiatives during the respective reporting periods in Australia (pursuant to the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth)) and the United Kingdom (pursuant to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (UK)). Future Focus SG Fleet intends to adopt a more robust supplier assessment methodology to optimise the process by which it identifies modern slavery risks, as well as how any identified risks are investigated and addressed. In addition, SG Fleet will introduce an assessment of its suppliers’ performance against a number of other social criteria, and, where possible, work with its suppliers to achieve better outcomes across a range of related aspects. HUMAN RIGHTS As an office-based services company, SG Fleet’s direct exposure to the risk of human rights infringement is limited. The company does however expect partners in its supply chain that are more likely to encounter human rights issues to take necessary measures to mitigate against this risk. Our Supplier Code of Conduct stipulates our expectations with regard to the conduct of suppliers in terms of modern slavery risks, the treatment of labour and human rights generally. “ We are a proud member of Supply Nation, which aims to promote and support procurement through indigenous organisations and create a more inclusive economy, and we currently source a number of goods from these businesses.” SG Fleet’s approach to ensure responsible internal conduct with respect to human rights centres on the training of staff on related topics, such as modern slavery, non-discrimination, and diversity and equal opportunity. Future Focus SG Fleet will continue to investigate the need for additional human rights-related employee training. We also intend to introduce supplier selection criteria that take into account human rights management and behaviours of potential suppliers. INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES SG Fleet is committed to furthering wherever possible the cause of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and other indigenous communities in the geographies in which it operates. In addition to offering employment opportunities, the company actively supports indigenous business ventures. We are a proud member of Supply Nation, which aims to promote and support procurement through indigenous organisations and create a more inclusive economy, and we currently source a number of goods from these businesses. In the reported period, SG Fleet directed 2.0% of its spend1 to indigenous organisations, up from 1.2% in 2019, the year in which the company joined Supply Nation. Future Focus SG Fleet is aiming to build the right perspective amongst its leadership and its people to work towards an effective and impactful Reconciliation Action Plan in the future. We will also put a greater emphasis on supporting indigenous businesses and employment where practical and viable. 1. Eligible spend SG Fleet Group Limited11 WHEELCHAIR RUGBY AUSTRALIA Photo Credit – Stephen Tremain NORTHLAND EMERGENCY SERVICES TRUST LOCAL COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS SUPPORT CUSTOMER PRIVACY To be able to create value for its customers and conduct its business in an efficient manner, SG Fleet needs to collect and process certain personal and business information. The way we collect, use and retain this information is governed by strict protocols and detailed processes. SG Fleet complies with all applicable privacy laws in each jurisdiction in which we operate and processes customer information in accordance with its privacy policies. Our Personal Data Protection Policy sets out how we protect the personal data we collect. The awareness of the importance of customer privacy and the need for secure handling of data is reinforced at the individual employee level through regular staff updates and continuous training via our e-learning portal. In the reported period, no incidences of loss of customer data were recorded. The SG Fleet Group has ISO 27001 Information Security Management certification. Our people also contribute generously by collecting donations or by volunteering in their own communities or for charitable activities of their choice. Wherever possible, we look to deploy our mobility expertise to the advantage of organisations or individuals who have limited access to transport or to support road safety initiatives. During the 2022 financial year, we supported a wide range of initiatives, including NSW Wheelchair Sports and Wheelchair Rugby in Australia, the Northland Emergency Services and Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trusts in New Zealand, and local community Christmas initiatives in the UK. NSW Wheelchair Sports and Wheelchair Rugby (Australia) SG Fleet has been supporting NSW Wheelchair Sports for a number of years, providing vehicles to transport para-athletes and their equipment to and from events, including the marquee GIO Down Under 10K Race in Sydney on Australia Day. Future Focus Further enhancements of SG Fleet’s relevant processes will be introduced as the cyber security environment continues to evolve. The company will also further enhance staff data security awareness. OTHER SOCIAL ASPECTS SG Fleet interacts with local communities in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK as a significant employer and as a purchaser of goods and services. We firmly believe that we have a responsibility to the communities in which we operate, as well as people elsewhere, to give back and make a positive contribution in other areas wherever we can. Northland Emergency Services and Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trusts (New Zealand) Northland Emergency Services Trust on-duty pilots and engineers use vehicles provided by SG Fleet to conduct their vital emergency rescue work. We also provide the Auckland Rescue Helicopters Trust with a small fleet of essential vehicles, including two Rapid Response units, which allow the Trust to deliver emergency services both from the air and on the ground. AUCKLAND RESCUE HELICOPTER TRUST LOCAL COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS SUPPORT (UNITED KINGDOM) SG Fleet supports a number of initiatives across a wide range of areas. As a company, our community contribution comes in the form of financial support, and the provision of goods or vehicles. In the UK, our people raised money for Cancer Research and The Alice Charity. We also collected gifts and food items for the Hobs Moat Community Café to help local families in need over the Christmas period. Annual Report 202212 GOVERNANCE “ We have a number of policies in place to instil and promote ethical behaviour across the organisation, as well as our supply chain.” Across our organisation, we ensure we adopt responsible business practices and policies in all aspects of our operations. As a listed entity, SG Fleet Group Limited also reports against the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations (4th Edition) via its Corporate Governance Statement. This statement describes the rules, systems and processes we have in place to manage our company and our operations in a responsible manner. In addition to the requirements set out by the ASX Corporate Governance Council, we have a number of policies in place to instil and promote ethical behaviour across the organisation, as well as our supply chain. SG Fleet also ensures its people are aware and observant of these policies by conducting regular e-learning sessions. SG Fleet’s ESG Materiality Assessment identified the following governance risks as material to the company: – Business ethics and conduct – (Presence of) whistle-blower policy – Supply chain management – Anti-corruption and bribery – Anti-competitive behaviour – Risk and crisis management BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT Our people are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the company’s standards and in compliance with all relevant legislation. SG Fleet’s Code of Conduct outlines how we expect our representatives to behave and conduct business in the workplace on a range of issues. It includes legal compliance and guidelines on appropriate ethical standards. Future Focus SG Fleet will continue to review its Code of Conduct as required, further improve the processes in place to ensure adherence to the Code, including training, and optimise how it addresses any breaches. WHISTLE-BLOWER POLICY SG Fleet is committed to ensuring that serious misconduct or malpractice is identified and addressed appropriately. We believe that the ability to raise related concerns is an important mechanism to ensure that the company functions efficiently and in accordance with its own principles of conduct. SG Fleet has adopted a Whistle-blower Policy in accordance with the Corporations Act. The Whistle-blower Policy encourages whistle-blowers to raise concerns and reportable conduct, where there are reasonable grounds to support such action and to ensure that serious misconduct or malpractice is identified and addressed appropriately. Future Focus SG Fleet’s Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee will continue to review its Whistle-blower Policy annually, and further improve employee awareness of and access to the whistle-blower process. SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT We view it as our responsibility to promote ethical behaviour not just within our business operations, but also at supplier level. SG Fleet takes great care in selecting suppliers of goods and services and we expect our suppliers to operate to recognised national and international standards, and appropriate codes of practice. SG Fleet Group Limited13 “ The company aims to maintain its reputation of having a high standard of ethical behaviour in conducting business and to behave with integrity in all dealings with competitors and customers.” In order to do so, we have put in place a Supplier Code of Conduct and a Procurement Policy. These policies set out the requirements we expect from our suppliers in the areas of: ethical business practice, anti-competitive conduct, labour and human rights, work health and safety, environment, and confidentiality of information. Future Focus SG Fleet continuously explores opportunities to optimise its supply chain management process, including in terms of the expected qualifications and behaviours of suppliers. The company intends to pursue ISO 20400 Sustainable Procurement certification in the future. ANTI-CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY SG Fleet prohibits bribery and corruption in any form, whether direct or indirect, and in any country in which it operates. We have adopted an Anti-bribery and Corruption Policy, detailing our commitment to conducting business activities with integrity and ensuring measures are in place to prevent bribery and corruption. The company expects its employees to demonstrate honesty, integrity and fairness in all aspects of their business dealings and exercise a high standard of professionalism and ethical conduct in all their activities. We promote employee awareness of and compliance with its policies against bribery and corruption through appropriate dissemination of our own procedures, policies and training programmes. Future Focus SG Fleet will continue to review its Anti-bribery and Corruption Policy as required, further improve the processes in place to ensure adherence to the Policy, including training, and optimise how it addresses any breaches. ANTI-COMPETITIVE BEHAVIOUR The company aims to maintain its reputation of having a high standard of ethical behaviour in conducting business and to behave with integrity in all dealings with competitors and customers. SG Fleet’s Code of Conduct stipulates the behaviours required to meet its standards in terms of responsible business practices. We actively monitor for any breaches of the Code. In the reported period, no actions or issues occurred in respect of anti-competitive behaviour. Future Focus SG Fleet will continue to review its Code of Conduct as required, further improve the processes in place to ensure adherence to the Code, including training, and optimise how it addresses any breaches. RISK AND CRISIS MANAGEMENT The presence of effective risk management structures and processes is essential for the continued conduct of SG Fleet’s business operations. We maintain a combined Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee as a subcommittee of its Board, as well as a dedicated internal audit function. The Committee reviews the company’s risk management framework and internal control framework, while the internal audit function provides the Board and management with independent and objective assurance on the effectiveness of governance, risk management and internal control processes. Future Focus SG Fleet will continue to review its risk management approach and processes, in line with the evolving nature of its business and its operational environment. OTHER GOVERNANCE ASPECTS Visit the Governance section of our Investor Centre to read our Corporate Governance Statement, which covers a number of additional governance aspects. UN GLOBAL COMPACT During the 2021 financial year, SG Fleet became a signatory to UN Global Compact, committing to its corporate responsibility initiative and its principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. In the reported period, the company lodged its first UN Global Compact Communication on Progress report. Annual Report 202214 SG Fleet Group Limited Chairman’s report This has resulted in exceptional customer win and retention rates and greater penetration of our products in existing accounts. We are constantly adding to the range of solutions we provide and our innovation team again made good progress with the development of products that will shape the fleet management and leasing industry for years to come. Combined with selective investments, such as the one in eBike micro-mobility provider Zoomo this year, this will fundamentally enhance your Company’s capability as a mobility-as-a-service provider. The 2022 financial year has also been a period during which electric vehicles, or EVs, gained more prominence in the public debate. While our UK business already has considerable exposure to zero-emission vehicles, EVs have until now remained a relatively rare sight on Australian and New Zealand roads. Your Company has played a leading role in recent years in the facilitation of fleet transitions to low- and zero-emission vehicles and recent government initiatives will undoubtedly lead to a further increase in demand for our EV expertise, both from companies and from individuals planning to salary package an EV. Many organisations come to us for assistance with the objective of decarbonising their transport requirements. We believe we must lead in this regard and our involvement does not stop with the provision of our expertise in this area. As a responsible corporate citizen, we believe industry-leading environmental, social and governance (ESG) behaviours should be integrated into our daily business practices. During the 2022 financial year, your Company developed an ESG strategy that will shape the way we approach the management of ESG areas that are material to our business. Shareholders can read about our progress against this objective in our annual Sustainability Statement. Your Company has a clear vision for the future. We continue to monitor the market environment, improve our efficiency, innovate to lead, look for every opportunity to excel further in how we serve our customers, and, of course, integrate the acquired LeasePlan business to further strengthen our competitive position. In the 2022 financial year, we set a clear path to achieve all of these objectives and maintain our momentum as a profitable, growing organisation. I look forward on reporting to you on our progress in future years. My thanks go to everyone at SG Fleet. Our management team and our people have demonstrated that our achievements in previous years were built on lasting fundamentals, which will continue to underpin our position as an industry leader. I would also like to thank the Directors of the Board for their efforts in guiding your Company. Most importantly, I thank you, our Shareholders, for your continued support as we take full advantage of the opportunities we created this year. “ This year has witnessed a transformational event for your Company in the shape of the LeasePlan Australia and New Zealand acquisition.” Andrew Reitzer CHAIRMAN 15 August 2022 Sydney Dear Shareholder I have the pleasure of presenting you with the SG Fleet Group Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022. The 2022 financial year started with major COVID-19 lockdowns in place in Australia and New Zealand. This did not stop your Company from making further progress across the board, helped by the resilience of our people and their remarkable ability to adjust the way we work and the way we service our customers. While COVID-19 may remain a feature of our world for years to come, as an organisation, we have demonstrated over the past two-and-a-half years that we always remain focused on what matters most to all of our stakeholders, creating value in a responsible manner. The growth we achieved during the 2022 financial year is clear evidence of the value we continue to add for our customers. The resulting revenue and profit growth marks the second year of our progress since we faced the challenges of 2020. I am pleased to report that this allowed your Board to declare a combined 2022 financial year dividend of 15.13 cents per share, an increase of 20% over the prior year. As foreshadowed in my previous report, this year has witnessed a transformational event for your Company in the shape of the LeasePlan Australia and New Zealand acquisition. The acquisition was completed on 1 September 2021 and has brought together two of the most highly regarded businesses in the region. That shared reputation has been reflected in the speed and efficiency with which the two groups of people have come together in terms of culture and service ethic. The strength of our people has been a prominent feature of our progress in recent years and our ability to learn and improve in the face of many challenges has undoubtedly been boosted by the expertise of the LeasePlan team. Your Company’s customers have responded very positively to our broadened offering of products and services as well as to the service enhancements we have been able to implement. SG Fleet Group LimitedCEO’s report “ It was pleasing to see that we were able to accelerate the progress made in the previous financial year. This demonstrates that the Company is operating efficiently and consistently achieving its goals.” 15 The ability to tap into new expertise and the significantly improved scale of our business are already yielding benefits from a competitive positioning point of view. They also support the Company’s ability to achieve cost and efficiency improvements, including from a procurement perspective. With innovation coming through steadily and the companies in which we have invested in recent years growing their business, upsell of products and services also progressed significantly. Not surprisingly given recent developments, interest in electric vehicles and our EV expertise picked up further and the Company is actively innovating to further enhance its competitive advantage in that space. The further progress we made during the 2022 financial year and the strong contribution from the LeasePlan ANZ business resulted in a further significant uptick in the Company’s financial performance. Total net revenue for the full financial year was $313.0 million, up 58.0% on the previous year. Net profit after tax for the reported period was $60.7 million, up 39.0% on the previous year. Underlying net profit after tax, which excludes $11.2 million in costs related to the LeasePlan ANZ acquisition, was $71.9 million, a 39.4% improvement on the 2021 financial year. Underlying earnings per share amounted to 21.50 cents, up 12.4% on the previous corresponding period. In both half year periods, results were impacted by the shortage of new vehicles, which in turn elevated used vehicle pricing to unprecedented levels. The supply shortage also meant that customers were forced to extend their leases, resulting in fewer vehicles returning for disposal. Because of the continued growth in demand, the shortages triggered a material increase in the order pipeline, in both the Corporate and the Novated channels. On an organic basis, in other words, excluding the impact of the LeasePlan ANZ acquisition, net rental and finance income grew by 64.6%, driven by the increased number of vehicles in inertia, which was in turn caused by the lack of new vehicle stock. The Company’s total net rental and finance income was $62.7 million, compared to $16.1 million in the previous financial year. Net mobility services revenue for SG Fleet reduced by 2.3%, however, including LeasePlan ANZ, this revenue category was up 29.8% to $87.1 million. Net additional products and services revenue grew by 2.0%, primarily as a result of the growth in novated deliveries. Including the $13.8 million contribution from LeasePlan ANZ, total revenue for this category was $47.5 million. Finance commission reduced by 11.9% on the previous corresponding period. This was primarily the result of a reduction in principal & agency-funded new vehicle deliveries. Dear Shareholder I am pleased to report on the financial performance of SG Fleet Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2022. My review of this financial year will refer for comparison to the financial figures for the year ended 30 June 2021. Where appropriate, reference will be made to the organic performance of the Company, excluding contributions from the acquired LeasePlan ANZ business. It should be noted that the Company introduced a number of changes to its financial disclosures at the 2022 half year results to provide investors with additional insight into its performance. Detailed financial data can be found in the full annual report. PERIOD-ON-PERIOD PROGRESS CONTINUES DESPITE EXCEPTIONAL ENVIRONMENT The operational environment in the 2022 financial year continued to produce unusual challenges, in the form of manufacturing and supply chain disruption, labour pressures, and the way we conduct business interactions. In that context, it was pleasing to see that we were able to accelerate the progress made in the previous financial year. This demonstrates that the Company is operating efficiently and consistently achieving its goals. All of our businesses maintained the momentum built up in previous periods. The Corporate channel continued to grow its customer book, while in the Novated channel, we saw continued growth in enquiry levels throughout the period. Both channels again faced supply constraints and while this benefited used vehicle values, the inability to deliver meant that the beneficial impact of the growing order book will continue to spill into subsequent periods. The 2022 financial year results include ten months of contribution from the LeasePlan ANZ business, which was acquired on 1 September 2021. Its performance has exceeded our expectations. The acquisition integration process has run exceptionally well, with teams coming together quickly in the pursuit of growth for the combined business. Annual Report 202216 “ By accessing the expertise of the combined business, we have been able to adopt a best-of-breed approach and this has been paying dividends across the board.” Consistent with previous periods, end of lease income benefitted materially from the used vehicle market conditions. However, in the reported period, operating lease disposal volumes were 27% lower than in the 2021 financial year due to the increase in the number of extensions and vehicles in inertia. Nevertheless, the Company was still able to deliver organic growth in end of lease income of 23.9%. Total net vehicle risk income, including a $24.6 million contribution from LeasePlan ANZ, was $91.2 million, up 63.4% on the previous year. Operating expenses increased materially, to $170.2 million, as a result of the LeasePlan ANZ acquisition, higher employee costs in comparison with the COVID-19 lockdown periods, and an increase in technology costs in connection with the development of software-as-a-service solutions, which previously would have been capitalised. SIGNIFICANT NEW BUSINESS ACTIVITY IN CORPORATE CHANNEL There was little change in the operating environment of the Corporate channel and competitive activity remained mostly rational throughout the year. Similarly, the improving performance of the channel was a continuation of the momentum built in previous periods. Despite some COVID-19-related disruptions, our business development teams took full advantage of in-person and virtual contact opportunities to pursue the continuous stream of new opportunities arising. A significant number of new corporate, or tool-of-trade, accounts were signed up in the reported period. Tender win rates remained stable at a high level. Cash flow management continues to be a major focus of our customers and this generated sale and leaseback opportunities from both new and existing customers. In the existing customer book, retention levels were very strong, with some contract extensions including longer contract terms and a wider range of services. Greater customer penetration was a feature of the 2022 financial year, with strong interest in the Company’s BookingIntelligence asset booking system, the DingGo repairer platform service, Inspect365 and driver safety products. An ever-increasing environmental focus also drove interest in all potential decarbonisation avenues, including electric vehicles. The customers added as part of the LeasePlan ANZ acquisition also responded well to the SG Fleet product set and our innovation initiatives. An impressive number of new employer accounts were signed up during the period, giving the Novated channel access to a significantly larger pool of eligible employees. Progress at employer and driver level was helped by extending best-practice lead generation and employee engagement methodologies into the teams servicing existing LeasePlan customers. Significant potential was also identified in terms of accessory upsell to existing LeasePlan drivers. NEW ZEALAND ACTIVITY REBOUND DRIVES NEW OPPORTUNITIES Early in the 2022 financial year, the continued lockdown measures in New Zealand clearly impacted the operating environment. Since then, tender activity has recovered strongly and new business opportunities continued to emerge. There has been a particular focus on mobility technology and electric vehicles in this market. Competition for available business was largely rational. However, supply issues remained throughout the period, affecting our ability to deliver on the growing order book. The New Zealand business continued to be successful with converting accounts from managed-only to funded, including via sale and leasebacks. Similar opportunities were also identified in the existing LeasePlan book. The business was very successful in retaining existing corporate and government customers and adding new business in a number of industries. Progress in the SME segment was particularly pleasing. As was the case in Australia, the LeasePlan customer base in New Zealand responded well to the SG Fleet product set and innovation. UK POST-LOCKDOWN PROGRESS CONTINUES The UK business entered the 2022 financial year further down the COVID-19 recovery path, with most of the workforce returning to the office at the beginning of the period. The number of new business opportunities and resulting orders continued to grow, which in turn inevitably led to further growth in the business’ order pipeline. The supply situation in the UK worsened during the second half, with most makes and models having extremely lengthy lead times. Customer win rates remained high across both the tool-of-trade and consumer channels. A particular highlight was the conversion of managed-only customers to funding, as well as the introduction of our consumer products to existing tool-of-trade customers. Low emission vehicles, vans, and the Novalease salary sacrifice product were areas of particular growth for the business. By the second half, electric vehicles accounted for more than a third of deliveries. Within the existing book, further penetration was achieved by introducing additional products and services to our customers. IMPROVED CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT SUPPORTS CONTINUED STRONG NOVATED DEMAND LEASEPLAN ANZ ACQUISITION DELIVERS SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS The operating environment of the Novated channel continued to feel the occasional impact of COVID-19 at the start of the financial year, but, supported by high employment rates in Australia, customer enquiries steadily grew to their highest levels in almost four years. However, the supply situation meant that delivering vehicles against the orders received was still a challenge. The integration of the LeasePlan ANZ business from the date of acquisition on 1 September 2021 has confirmed all synergy expectations. By accessing the expertise of the combined business, we have been able to adopt a best-of-breed approach and this has been paying dividends across the board. Operationally, the Company saw a clear impact from the integration work done to-date and this improved its efficiency and competitive positioning. SG Fleet Group Limited“ The combined business really started hitting its stride and I look forward to maintaining that momentum and accessing the full potential of our strengthened market position in future periods.” Rapid progress has been made with the integration since September. Initial phases of the process were rolled out during the reported period with the introduction of common premises and shared services and the start of the implementation of a group-wide products and services structure. The operational integration progressed well and continues as I write to you. The Company has been able to take advantage of its greater scale and has realised the synergies expected at this time. Initial benefits of its enhanced scale were also extracted in terms of operational efficiency, revised procurement arrangements, and enhanced automation and digitisation. The sharing of available processes and resources significantly improved our ability to compete for business as well as service existing customers across the book. LeasePlan ANZ customers were introduced to the SG Fleet product set and the Company’s innovation capability and their reception continues to be very positive. Take-up of newly available products has been very strong, leading to a further improvement in customer satisfaction. This in turn supported acquisition, retention and penetration of accounts. EXPANDING RANGE OF MOBILITY AND EV SERVICES Innovation and the broadening of the Company’s products and services offering towards higher value-add are some of the key drivers of revenue growth and their importance will only grow in the future. During the 2022 financial year, the Company expanded its range of mobility services with an investment in eBike solutions provider Zoomo, and further developed its electric vehicles and EV-related services expertise. Together with the Bookingintelligence asset booking tool and the subscription services provided by Carly, Zoomo’s solutions will play an important part in how we will shape the future of mobility. A feature of the reported period was the rapid acceleration of interest in low- and zero-emission vehicles, in line with a greater focus on the management of environmental risks across the globe. The Company has gathered considerable expertise with electric vehicles in the UK and has deployed that unique knowledge to customer acclaim in all its geographies. Penetration of EVs in corporate fleets increased steadily during the year, while interest in the Novated channel accelerated more rapidly. We successfully deployed our expertise and our relationships with manufacturers and charging providers to cater to this emerging demand. The greater environmental focus amongst corporates and governments also drove interest in the Company’s eStart solution, with customers increasingly requesting assistance with their fleet emission management efforts. During the period, we evolved eStart into an integrated approach to decarbonisation of transport and the setting of emission reduction targets. An initial trial of this product received very positive feedback. 17 The Company’s investment in micro-mobility provider Zoomo is in line with its strategy to invest in know-how and expertise in areas that help us build a comprehensive and multi-modal Mobility-as-a-Service solution. During the second half of the financial year, we worked with Zoomo to develop a value proposition for both the corporate and novated channels, which will be rolled out in the 2023 financial year. A STRENGTHENED MARKET POSITION The Company has emerged stronger from a challenging macro environment. Despite the continued impact of the supply disruption on our ability to turn strong order growth into revenue, the 2022 financial year has again been a period of strong progress. The Australian Corporate channel continued to build its customer book and widen its products and services range, and the Novated channel saw further growth in demand. In New Zealand, business activity rebounded after a period of strict lockdowns and, in the UK, we continued to go from strength to strength. The integration of the LeasePlan ANZ business, which performed better than anticipated during the period, progressed very well. The Company took advantage of the positive results of bringing two exceptional organisations together and the combined business is delivering strongly on the potential that the acquisition created. These outcomes will become more impactful as the integration progresses. Our innovation efforts continue in order to play a leading role in the new mobility environment. Selective investments and the further expansion of our EV solutions range during the year perfectly place the Company to deploy its industry-leading expertise as corporate customers and novated drivers increasingly move towards more efficient and environmentally-sound transport solutions. We continue to maintain the strong momentum in our businesses, and at the same time we are managing the extraction of the exciting benefits we are reaping from the LeasePlan ANZ acquisition, including revenue opportunities and the contribution it will make to our overall drive to improve cost efficiencies. As the 2022 financial year progressed, the combined business really started hitting its stride and I look forward to maintaining that momentum and accessing the full potential of our strengthened market position in future periods. My sincere thanks and appreciation go to my Executive team and my colleagues across the Group. In a year that brought two great businesses together, we remained focused on delivering the best service to our customers and creating a positive work environment for our people. The combination of these strengths has firmly placed us in a unique position in our industry and I would like to thank you, our shareholders, for supporting us as we continue on our journey to improve the value we create for all of our stakeholders.

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. 2022 Annual Report26 Directors’ report 30 June 2022 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. 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: Name – Position Andrew Reitzer – Independent Non-Executive Chairman Cheryl Bart AO – Independent Non-Executive Director Peter Mountford – Non-Executive Director Edwin Jankelowitz – Independent Non-Executive Director Tex Gunning – Non-Executive Director Fees per annum $210,958 $123,938 $123,375 $138,600 $100,000 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. SG Fleet Group Limited27 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 comprises 20% of the STI and the financial component 80%. 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. 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 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 EPS 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 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. The 2020 LTI and 2021 LTI to the Executive Directors were approved by the shareholder’s at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 October 2020. The 2020 LTI and 2021 LTI were granted to KMP other than the Executive Directors on 25 November 2019 and 28 October 2020 respectively. The 2022 LTI offer will be assessed over a Performance Period of 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024 with vesting to occur in August 2024 if the performance conditions are met. 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. 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 EPS 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. 2022 Annual Report28 Directors’ report 30 June 2022 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 for 2020 and 2021 LTI  % 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% CAGR of EPS over the Performance Period for 2022 LTI % of options that become exercisable Less than 4.8% 4.8% (Threshold performance) Between 4.8% and 11.2% Nil 60% Straight-line pro-rata vesting between 60% and 100% 11.2% 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 30 June 2021, the Group engaged Egan Associates to perform a remuneration benchmarking review for Executive Directors and other KMP. The benchmarking review report was issued during the 2022 financial year and was part of the NRC and Board review and deliberation. Based on the recommendations of the review, the NRC approved increases in the remuneration of the Executive Directors and other KMP in recognition of their additional responsibilities arising out of the LeasePlan acquisition. The effective date of these remuneration adjustments was 1 January 2022. Egan Associates was paid $30,780 for the services. There was no remuneration consultants appointed for review of Non-Executive Directors remuneration. An agreed set of protocols were put in place to ensure that the remuneration recommendations would be free from undue influence from KMP. These protocols include requiring that the consultant not communicate with affected key management personnel without a member of the NRC being present, and that the consultant not provide any information relating to the outcome of the engagement with the affected KMP. The Board is also required to make inquiries of the consultant’s processes at the conclusion of the engagement to ensure that they are satisfied that any recommendations made have been free from undue influence. The Board is satisfied that these protocols were followed and as such there was no undue influence. VOTING AND COMMENTS MADE AT THE COMPANY’S 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (‘AGM’) At the 2021 AGM, the shareholders voted to approve the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2021. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

This provides a strong foundation from which the Group can successfully deliver on its strategic priorities. The Group’s Risk Management Policy and Risk Appetite Statement guide management to proactively identify, monitor and manage the existing and emerging material risks that could impact the Group. Risk-aware decision making is embedded within the Group’s key processes. The following table sets out the material business risks, in no particular order and excluding generic risks, that could adversely affect the Group’s future business, operations and financial prospects. Risk description Risk Mitigation Vehicle residual values The Group may inaccurately predict future market movements in used vehicle values. Used vehicle values are currently materially inflated due to disruptions in new vehicle supply. The Group expects used vehicle values to normalise at some point, which will cause a reduction in vehicle risk income. The timing of this normalisation is uncertain. New vehicle supply The Group is dependent on a predictable and reliable new vehicle supply chain in order to deliver vehicles and originate leases within a reasonable timeframe from the date the customer places an order. The current disruption to new vehicle supply limits the Group’s ability to do so, which adversely impacts customer satisfaction and revenue generation. In a time of rising interest rates, extended delays in new vehicle deliveries can adversely impact the profitability of some of the Group’s products. People The Group’s performance is largely dependent on its ability to attract and retain talent. Loss of key personnel could adversely affect financial performance and business growth. The current tight labour market conditions make recruitment and retention more difficult than is ordinarily the case. In addition, remuneration costs are increasing materially. Economic conditions In the current inflationary environment, the Group is exposed to the risk that it is unable to pass cost increases on to customers thereby adversely impacting profitability. The rising interest rate environment may adversely impact consumer sentiment and the demand for leasing. – The Group uses advanced statistical modelling underpinned by extensive data and overlaid with deep industry expertise to set vehicle residual values. – Multiple residual value risk mitigation strategies are employed during the life of the lease, including lease restructures and extensions. – Contractual incentives are in place with customers to align interests in optimising residual value performance. – The Group’s disposal model assists in achieving above-market end-of-lease disposal results. – When new vehicle supply is restored, income on new vehicle deliveries will increase, which will to some extent offset the decline in vehicle risk income. – New vehicle order lead-times have been adjusted to account for the supply chain disruptions. – The Group frequently engages with manufacturers and dealers on the status of production lines and shipping. – Additional resources and technology have been deployed to keep customers informed at regular intervals of the status of their deliveries. – Competitive remuneration structures to attract, motivate and retain talent. – Succession planning to develop or attract talent for sustainable growth. – Employee engagement surveys to identify areas for improvement and support retention. – Performance management processes to help identify, develop and grow talent in line with the Group’s values. – The planned development of a comprehensive employee value proposition. – Increased focus on individual, manager and leadership development. – Robust controls are in place to manage headcount growth and remuneration adjustments. – An operating model review is being conducted to identify optimisation opportunities. – Pricing is reviewed periodically. – A deal committee structure is in place to set pricing for new customer opportunities. SG Fleet Group Limited39 Risk description Risk Mitigation Credit Historically, the majority of the Group’s funding for its lease portfolio was provided under principal & agency funding arrangements in terms of which credit risk is borne by the underlying financier rather than the Group. The introduction of securitisation funding, combined with the acquisition of the LeasePlan ANZ business, means that the Group now has a material credit risk exposure in its own right. Funding The Group’s operations are dependent on having access to competitively priced funding for lease portfolio assets. This funding is secured using two primary funding models, principal & agency and securitisation warehouses. A loss of access to funding or a material change to the terms of our funding could adversely affect the Group’s ability to attract or retain customers. The Group’s securitisation warehouses typically have two-year terms. At the expiration date, the Group is exposed to the risk that financiers may not have the appetite to extend the facility. If this occurs, the facility will enter an orderly amortisation phase, but no new business could be originated under the relevant facility. The Group is also exposed to the risk that the funding cost of the securitisation warehouses increases at the point of facility extension. An increase in funding costs would impact the profitability of the back-book as well as the ability to originate new leases at competitive pricing. Integration project execution The Group is undertaking a large-scale, multi-year, integration of the LeasePlan acquisition. This project includes an organisational restructure and multiple system migrations. Delays or failures in the execution of this project could adversely impact the Group’s operations and the achievement of synergy targets. Regulatory Demand for novated leases is driven by the tax concessions available to lessees under existing fringe benefits tax (‘FBT’) legislation. Changes to the FBT legislation may adversely impact the attractiveness of novated leasing, which would impact the profitability of the Group’s novated leasing channel. Cyber security/data privacy A successful cyber-attack could compromise the technology platforms used by the Group and could result in the exfiltration and loss of information or breach of data privacy laws and/or customer agreements. – The Group has an experienced credit team that operates within a robust credit policy and delegated lending authority framework. – The credit policy, and any changes thereto, are approved by the panel of financiers. – Appropriate segregation of duties is in place, both within the business and on the credit committee. – Annual reviews are performed on corporate customers. – Robust credit decisioning systems are in place. – Comprehensive portfolio parameter limits are in place together with monthly monitoring and reporting. – The Group has a diversified funding structure, with multiple funding partners. – Interest rate risk is hedged in accordance with the contractual maturity of the underlying leases. – The Group is consolidating its operations onto a single ERP system, which will allow originations to be funded using a variety of funding models and financiers. – The integration project is overseen by a Steering Committee that meets fortnightly. The Steering Committee monitors progress and makes key decisions in relation to the integration. – Sub-committees are in place to manage each detailed integration stream. – Robust project management processes are in place for all system migration processes. – Appropriate budgets are in place to adequately resource each project. – The Group has diversified its lease portfolio to reduce the proportion of novated leases. – The Group invests in product development to increase the leasing value proposition beyond the tax concessions. – The company is a member of the National Automotive Leasing and Salary Packaging Association (NALSPA), which is a body formed to communicate the economic benefits of existing FBT policy settings. – A security operations centre is in place that actively monitors the Group’s logical environment for malicious activity 24/7/365. – Robust Infosec and data privacy policies and processes are in place in line with international cybersecurity standards. – Regular penetration testing, vulnerability management controls and patching of all critical IT assets are in place. – Training in data privacy and security is conducted on a recurring basis. 2022 Annual Report40 Directors’ report 30 June 2022 INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS The Company has indemnified the Directors, executives and employees of the Company for costs incurred, in their capacity as a director, executive or employee, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith. The Company’s subsidiary, SG Fleet Australia Pty Limited on behalf of the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the Directors and executives of the Company and of any related bodies corporates defined in the insurance policy, against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE OF AUDITOR The Company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the Company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor. The Company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the Company or any related entity. PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings. NON-AUDIT SERVICES Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in note 34 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 34 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 undermines the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) 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 an 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. AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 immediately follows this Directors’ report. This report is made in accordance with a resolution of Directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001.

SG Fleet Group LimitedNotes to the financial statements 30 June 2022 47 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 15 August 2022. 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. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 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 through profit or loss. 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. 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 38. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of SG Fleet Group Limited as at 30 June 2022 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. 2022 Annual Report48 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022 NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED 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 are 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 year-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. 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. Mobility services income Mobility services revenue includes the products and services required to keep a vehicle on the road in a safe and compliant manner. This revenue category includes income from registering and insuring the vehicle, providing assistance in the event of a break-down or accident, telematics and safety inspections. It also includes income from car-share bookings. This is an annuity income stream which is primarily driven by the funded fleet size and brought to account over time due to continuous performance obligations received by customers over the term of the lease. Additional products and services Additional products and services revenue is generated by products that are not typically related to keeping the vehicle on the road and mobile. This revenue category includes products such as accessories, redundancy protection, Trade Advantage and rebates. This income stream is largely transactional in nature and the key driver is the volume of funded deliveries coupled with penetration rates. 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 the 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. Finance commission Finance commission is the income earned on leased vehicles funded off balance sheet. This income stream is largely transactional in nature, has no direct costs and the key driver is the volume of funded deliveries. 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. Vehicle risk 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 vehicle risk income and the value of the vehicle at the end of the lease period payable to the financier, is recognised as vehicle risk cost of sale. SG Fleet Group Limited49 Rental and finance income Rental and finance income is the income earned on leased vehicles funded on the balance sheet. Rental income is generated by operating lease vehicles, short-term rental vehicles as well as subscription vehicles. Finance Income is generated by finance lease vehicles. The cost of sale related to this income stream is operating lease depreciation, direct interest and short-term hire costs. This is an annuity income stream, and the key driver of this income stream is the size of the on balance sheet funded fleet. Rental and finance income is recognised overtime over the lease term. Other income Other income is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. INCOME TAX The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: – when the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or – when the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. 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. 2022 Annual Report50 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022 NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. 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. 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 five years Computer hardware and office equipment three to eight years Motor vehicles four years 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. SG Fleet Group Limited51 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. 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. 2022 Annual Report52 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022 NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED 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 Trade and other payables 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. SG Fleet Group Limited53 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. 2022 Annual Report54 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022 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. COMPARATIVES Comparatives in the financial report have been realigned to the current period presentation. For clearer presentation, the Group has reclassified $1,322,000 prepaid borrowing costs under liabilities within borrowings compared to the 30 June 2021 presentation under prepaid assets. The Group has realigned/ reclassified the revenue and expense categories disclosed in note 5 and the statement of profit or loss due to the LeasePlan acquisition. There has been no effect on the comparative period results, net assets or equity due to the reclassification. 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 2022. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements. NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED 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. SG Fleet Group Limited55 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 EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. 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. 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 MOBILITY SERVICES As discussed in note 2, the Group estimates the mobility services income to be recognised for each performance obligation at a point in time when the service is provided and the 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 goodwill belongs, 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. Refer to note 17 for further information. 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. 2022 Annual Report56 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022 NOTE 4.

The recoverable amount was determined to be higher than the carrying amount and therefore no impairment loss was recognised. Value-in-use was determined by discounting the future cash flows based on the following key assumptions: – Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and the four-year business plan. Cash flow beyond Year 4 was projected at a growth rate of 0% (2021: 0%) for the three CGUs; – Revenue growth was projected at 7.1% (2021: 6.2%) per annum for the Australian CGU, 8.3% (2021: 5.9%) per annum for the United Kingdom CGU and 8.1% (2021: Nil) per annum for the New Zealand 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 9.29% (2021: 8.24%) was used for the Australian CGU, 7.29% (2021: 6.19%) for the United Kingdom CGU and 9.01% (2021: Nil) for the New Zealand 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. 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.

RESIDUAL VALUE RISK PROVISION The provision is to recognise the future liability relating to residual value exposures as described in note 2 and note 3. 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. Secured deposits have been issued to lease portfolio financiers as security for these obligations. An amount of $11,492,000 (30 June 2021: $11,686,000) has been recognised as a residual value provision, calculated on an onerous pool basis, to cover potential shortfalls on the disposal of these vehicles. OTHER PROVISIONS The provision represents the potential loss arising from overdrawn vehicle running cost accounts in relation to novated leases.

LEASE PORTFOLIO BORROWINGS – SECURITISED During the previous financial year, the Group established a $100 million limited recourse securitisation warehouse trust with commitments from external financiers totalling $92.5 million. During the current financial year, as part of the LeasePlan acquisition, the Group established additional limited recourse securitisation warehouse trusts to bring the total commitments from external financiers in relation to securitisation warehouse trusts to $1,361 million as at 30 June 2022. All amounts owing to parties to the warehouse are secured by fixed and floating charges over all assets of the warehouse, including cash balances, lease receivables and related leased motor vehicles. The financiers to the warehouse have no recourse to the Group, other than in relation to their responsibilities as originator and servicer of assets to the warehouse. As at 30 June 2022, the Group had utilised $1,134 million of securitised lease portfolio borrowings.

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 30 June 2021. 2022 Annual Report74 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022 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 the bank, both of which carry variable rates of interest. The Group policy is to ensure that at least 60% of Group corporate borrowings are hedged into a fixed rate for the term of the borrowing (unless approved by the Board). Non-securitised lease portfolio borrowings (other than where used to fund leases in inertia or informal extension) are required to be hedged using an amortising swap profile that reflects the expected repayment profile of the borrowings. Securitisation borrowings are similarly required to be hedged using an amortising swap profile that reflects the expected repayment profile of the borrowings, in compliance with parameters agreed with the financiers to the securitisation. As at the reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate bank accounts and other facilities after impact of hedging instruments: Consolidated Cash at bank Securitisation accounts Secured deposits Bank loans Net exposure to cash flow interest rate risk 2022 Balance $’000 61,613 141,432 27,388 (55,000) 175,433 2021 Balance $’000 201,605 789 28,723 (25,168) 205,949 An official increase/decrease in interest rates of 200 (2021: 50) basis points would have a favourable/adverse effect on profit before tax and equity of $3,509,000 (2021: $1,030,000) per annum. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analyst’s forecasts. Derivatives interest rate swap The Group has entered into interest rate swap contracts with the following notional/principal values as at 30 June 2022: – $324,722,000 (2021: $106,696,000) of bullet swaps maturing in September 2024 with a weighted average fixed rate of 1.02% (2021: 1.91%) in respect of corporate debt borrowings; – $2,895,000 of amortising swaps with tenors of up to 3 years and a weighted average fixed rate of 0.79% in relation to non-securitisation borrowings; and – $1,174,357,000 of amortising swaps with tenors of up to 5 years and a weighted average fixed rate of 1.31%, in relation to securitisation trusts. SG Fleet Group Limited77 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. 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. Financing arrangements Refer to note 24 for details of unused borrowing facilities at the reporting date. Remaining contractual maturities The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position. 2022 Annual Report78 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022 NOTE 31.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY The following tables detail the Group’s assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

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 Unquoted investments are recorded at fair value, which reflects the recent cost of investments. The Group does not consider the market value of the investments to have significantly changed since the acquisition date. 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. 2022 Annual Report80 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022 NOTE 32.

NOTE 36. 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 $11,492,000 (30 June 2021: $11,686,000) has been recognised as a residual value provision and an amount of $264,000 (30 June 2021: $426,000) 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 41. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS ACQUISITION OF LEASEPLAN AUSTRALIA AND LEASEPLAN NEW ZEALAND (‘LEASEPLAN ANZ’) On 1 September 2021, the Group acquired 100% of the ordinary shares in LeasePlan Australia and LeasePlan New Zealand. The acquisition consideration of $626,003,000 was settled by way of cash consideration of $273,000,000 and scrip consideration valued at $129,307,000. In addition to the acquisition consideration, as part of the transaction, excess cash on the balance sheet and capital invested in the Lease Portfolio totalling $223,696,000 was repaid to LeasePlan Corporation bringing the total consideration transferred to $626,003,000. The fair value of 44,588,550 ordinary shares issued to settle part of the consideration was based on the listed share price of the Company on 1 September 2021 of $2.90 per share totalling $129,307,000. The rationale for the acquisition is to deliver additional scale across operations, funding and procurement, resulting in significant efficiencies which will enable the delivery of a highly competitive offering to customers. The goodwill of $165,732,000 is attributable to the expected synergies and cross-selling opportunities that will arise from the acquisition, the future growth prospects of new products and initiatives together with the skill base and operating processes within the acquired entity. Management estimates that the acquired business contributed revenues of $392,873,000 and profit before tax of $28,113,000 (excluding acquisition costs) to the Group for the period from 1 September 2021 to 30 June 2022. If the acquisition occurred on 1 July 2021, management estimates that the contribution for the period to 30 June 2022 would have been revenues of $467,436,000 and profit before tax of $35,053,000 (excluding acquisition costs). In determining these amounts, the profit of LeasePlan ANZ for the period 1 July 2021 to 31 August 2021 was included based on the legacy lease portfolio funding arrangements and capital structure in place at the time and excludes interest on additional acquisition debt and amortisation of customer contracts. The values identified in relation to the acquisition of LeasePlan are final as at 30 June 2022.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the shareholders of SG Fleet Group Limited Report on the audit of the Financial Report Opinion We have audited the Financial Report of SG Fleet Group Limited (the Company). In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: •giving a true and fair view of theGroup’s financial position as at30 June 2022 and of its financialperformance for the year ended onthat date; andcomplying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. The Financial Report comprises: •consolidated statement of financial position as at30 June 2022;•consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidatedstatement of other comprehensive income,consolidated statement of changes in equity, andconsolidated statement of cash flows for the year thenended;•notes including a summary of significant accountingpolicies; and•Directors’ Declaration.The Group consists of the Company and the entities it controlled at the year-end or from time to time during the financial year. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 2022 Annual Report92 Independent auditor’s report to the members of SG Fleet Group Limited 80 Key Audit Matters The Key Audit Matters we identified are: •valuation of goodwill;•recognition of residual value riskprovision;•measurement of deferred maintenance income; and•acquisition accounting for thepurchase of LeasePlan Australia andNew Zealand.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 ($519.5m) Refer to Note 17 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 24% oftotal assets);•the high level of judgement involvedby us in assessing the inputs to theGroup's annual assessment of theimpairment model, and the higherestimation uncertainty continuingfrom the business disruption impactof the COVID-19 global pandemic;and•the acquisition of LeasePlan Australiaand New Zealand during the financialyear, necessitating our considerationof the Group’s allocation of goodwillto the CGUs to which they belong.The significant forward-looking assumptions the Group applied in its value in use model are: •forecast cash flows, which can varybased on a number of factors suchas the number and fleet size of newcustomer wins, residual values,industry growth projections andinflation expectations. The Groupoperates across differentgeographies with varying marketpressures, which increases the riskOur procedures included: •assessing the appropriateness of the value in usemethod applied by the Group to perform theannual test of goodwill for impairment against therequirements of the accounting standards;•assessing the integrity of the value in use model,including the accuracy of the underlyingcalculation formulas;•assessing the accuracy of previous Groupforecasts to inform our evaluation of forecastsincorporated in the model. We considered factorssuch as the number and fleet size of newcustomer wins, residual values, industry growth,inflation experienced and historical trends wherevarying market pressures existed across differentgeographies and how they impacted thebusiness, for use in further testing;•working with our valuation specialists inassessing the Group's discount rates againstpublicly available data for a group of comparableentities and independently developing a discountrate range considered comparable using this data.We adjusted this range by risk factors specific tothe Group’s Cash Generating Units (CGUs) andthe industry it operates in;•challenging the Group's cash flow forecast andgrowth assumptions, including those related toSG Fleet Group Limited93 81 of inaccurate forecasts; and the discount rates, which are complex in nature and may vary according to the conditions and environment the specific cash generating units (CGUs) are subject to over time. We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior audit team members in assessing this key audit matter. fleet size and growth assumptions across different geographies as well as supply chain constraints, 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 byvarying key assumptions, such as discount ratesand forecast growth rates, within a reasonablypossible range. This allowed us to identifyassumptions with a higher risk of bias orinconsistency in application, and to assess thepresence of indicators of impairment; and•assessing the disclosures in the Financial Reportusing our understanding obtained from ourtesting and against the requirements of theaccounting standards.Recognition of residual value risk provision ($11.5m) Refer to Note 22 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The recognition of the residual value risk provision is a Key Audit Matter due to the significant audit effort and high degree of judgement applied by us in assessing the Group’s residual value risk provision. The Group has entered into agreements with financiers which requires the transfer of the asset ownership and the associated residual value 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 value risk provision is based on the Group’s judgement 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 Our procedures included: •assessing the accounting treatment of the Group’sresidual value risk provision methodology against therelevant accounting standards;•testing the key control for the Group's residual valuerisk provision process being the quarterly evaluationand authorisation of the residual value calculation bysenior management;•comparing the market conditions and economicfactors underpinning the Group's determination of theprobable residual values against published marketreports and statistical economic information, a keydeterminant in the residual value risk provision, foruse in further testing. Our procedures includedcomparing the continuing impact of supply chainissues on used car sales prices against publiclyavailable industry literature and other credibleinformation;•assessing the Group's ability to accurately estimateresidual values at the end of the lease term bycomparing the historical residual valuation of a sample81 of inaccurate forecasts; and the discount rates, which are complex in nature and may vary according to the conditions and environment the specific cash generating units (CGUs) are subject to over time.

It is the Group’s policy to recognise a provision if the forecast sale proceeds of the asset are less than the residual value payable to the financier. This requires us to use our judgement 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. of vehicles to the actual sale proceeds received from previous disposals from comparable vehicle classes; and •comparing a sample of the current residual valuationof the motor vehicles against the current market valueof these motor vehicles using recent external auctionprices achieved for comparable assets.Measurement of deferred maintenance income ($62.3m) Refer to Note 27 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The measurement of deferred maintenance income is a Key Audit Matter due to the audit effort and judgement 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. 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-alone selling price of the maintenance service provided. Our procedures included: •assessing the Group's revenue recognition policyagainst AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts withCustomers requirements;•assessing the historical accuracy of the Group'sestimates of life of contract costs by comparing pastestimates to actual costs incurred;•analysing vehicle maintenance costs and developingexpectations of maintenance expense which is a keyinput to the stand-alone selling price of maintenanceservices. We used our knowledge of the Group, thecomposition of the Group’s fleet (e.g. vehicle makes,types and condition), and other key metrics such asnumber of vehicles in the fleet and compared this tothe maintenance expenses recorded by the Group;•developing expectations of the deferred maintenanceincome per vehicle and comparing this to the deferredmaintenance income recorded by the Group; and•assessing the additions to deferred maintenanceincome by comparing a sample of entries to theunderlying maintenance services billed to customersand against the amount specified in the lease.SG Fleet Group Limited95 83 Acquisition accounting for the purchase of LeasePlan Australia and New Zealand Refer to Note 41 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The Group completed the acquisition of LeasePlan Australia Limited and LeasePlan New Zealand Limited for a total consideration of $626 million. Accounting for the purchase is a Key Audit Matter due to the: •size of the acquisition and thereforethe impact on the Financial Report;and•the high level of judgement andcomplexity relating to the valuationand purchase price allocation (PPA).The Group engaged an independentvaluation expert to advise on theidentification and measurement ofacquired assets and liabilities, inparticular determining the allocationof purchase consideration togoodwill and separately identifiableintangible assets.These conditions and associated complexity in accounting for the acquisition and disclosures required by accounting standards required significant audit effort and involvement of senior team members. Our procedures included: •evaluating the methodology used for the acquisition,including fair value accounting adjustments to thetangible assets and liabilities acquired, againstaccounting standards requirements.•working with our valuation specialists to assess andchallenge key assumptions used in the PPA to identifyand value separate assets by:•assessing the objectivity, competence andexperience of the Group’s independent valuationexpert;•comparing inputs used by the Group’sindependent valuation expert with the Group’sstrategic plans and approved business forecasts;and•evaluating the Group’s significant judgementalassumptions such as identification of separateidentifiable intangible assets and the approach andmethodology for valuing the intangible assets.•assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures ofquantitative and qualitative considerations in relationto the business acquisition based on ourunderstanding of the acquisition and the requirementsof accounting standards.2022 Annual Report96 Independent auditor’s report to the members of SG Fleet Group Limited 84 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.
