DEAR SHAREHOLDER

The 2020 financial year stands out as the most challenging 
in our 16 years as a public company.
For our team members, customers, suppliers and the wider community, the 
past 12 months have been extremely testing. A prolonged drought in many 
parts of Australia, floods and tragic bushfires devastated many communities. 
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic ignited a health and economic crisis that has 
changed the way we live, work and shop.

As with the broader retail sector, Super Retail Group has not been immune 
from the repercussions of coronavirus and its economic impact. 

However, the Group’s strong fundamentals combined with the extraordinary 
commitment  and  dedication  of  both  our  team  members  and  the  executive 
team in working collaboratively with our partners helped the business navigate 
the initial crisis and deliver a resilient financial performance for the year. 

The  performance  of  the  Group  during  this  difficult  period  has  reinforced 
the Board’s confidence in our strategy and demonstrated the importance of 
continuing to enhance our omni-retail capabilities.

A sustained focus on executing our strategy and decisive action in response 
to the unfolding COVID-19 crisis and material changes in consumer behaviour 
were  crucial  contributors  to  delivering  sustainable  outcomes  for  all  of  
our stakeholders.

The Group’s financial position and operational performance has supported the 
Board’s decision to determine a fully franked final dividend of 19.5 cents per 
share. This represents a payout ratio of 55 per cent of underlying net profit 
after tax for the second half, in line with the Group’s policy.

In its deliberations on shareholder returns, the Board considered a number 
of  factors,  including  its  earlier  decision  to  cancel  the  interim  dividend,  the 
performance  of  the  business  in  the  second  half  and  the  net  cash  position 
on  the  balance  sheet  following  a  successful  equity  raising  in  July  2020.  
We completed the $203 million equity raising with strong support from retail 
and institutional shareholders, including our founder and major shareholder 
Reg Rowe.

Complementing our focus on shareholder returns, the Board takes great pride 
in  how  the  issues  faced  across  Australia  and  New  Zealand  during  the  year 
unquestionably reinforce the Group’s role in the community.

Our purpose is to provide solutions and engaging experiences that inspire our 
customers to make the most of their leisure time.

During the year, our purpose has come to the fore for many of our customers. 
Our  team  showed  immense  initiative  and  embraced  innovative  practices 
to ensure we did everything possible to continue to meet the needs of the 
community.  In  a  COVID  world,  with  the  lines  increasingly  blurred  between 
work  and  leisure  time,  and  growing  focus  on  health,  safety  and  wellbeing, 
the  Group’s  four  core  brands  played  an  increasingly  important  role  for  
our customers.

The  indefatigable  efforts  of  our  team  members  in  delivering  for  customers, 
suppliers and our partners reflect the Group’s purpose and are crucial to the 
underlying strength of the business. In his first full year in the role of Group 
Managing  Director  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Anthony  Heraghty  ensured 
his executive team remain focused on optimising our capabilities and driving 
team member engagement during this extraordinary period.

Chair’s 
Message

In line with good governance and our Board succession planning, 
during the year we welcomed to the Board two highly credentialled 
directors, Annabelle Chaplain AM and Gary Dunne. After a career 
in investment banking with global financial institutions, Annabelle 
has diverse board experience with a range of ASX-listed companies 
while Gary brings to the board more than 25 years’ experience in 
operations and strategy with Coles, ALDI and Woolworths.

On behalf of the Board, I would also like to thank Launa Inman, who 
retired as a director in October 2019, for her many contributions 
as a committed and engaged director during her four-year tenure.

I thank my Board colleagues for their commitment to the Group 
and  sound  counsel  over  the  tumultuous  past  12  months.  The 
decisions taken by the Board leave the Group in a stronger position 
and well placed to create shareholder value over the long term.

but the Group has a track record of not only surviving but thriving 
in tough conditions.

With a strong balance sheet and no net debt, we are ideally placed 
to deliver on our omni-retail strategy, enhance our footprint and 
capitalise  on  organic  opportunities  to  grow  market  share  as  we 
pursue long-term value for our shareholders. Despite the immense 
challenges, we have not been distracted from this task.

Thank you for your continuing support of Super Retail Group. 

Looking ahead, there is no question we will continue to face fresh 
challenges in a period marked by ongoing volatility and uncertainty 

Sally Pitkin 
Chair

DEAR SHAREHOLDER

The  past  12  months  will  be  remembered  as  a  year  like  no  other  for 
Super Retail Group. As outlined by the Chair, natural disasters and the 
COVID-19 pandemic have tested the limits of your company’s resilience.
I am pleased to report, however, that thanks to the remarkable efforts of the Super 
Retail  Group  team  and  the  flexibility  of  our  omni-retail  strategy  we  weathered 
these crises by adapting quickly to the volatile operating environment. 

As  the  COVID-19  crisis  began  to  unfold  in  February  2020,  our  primary  focus 
remained the health, safety and wellbeing of our team members and customers. 
We  strictly  adhered  to  the  advice  and  guidance  of  governments  and  health 
authorities across Australian and New Zealand while striving to remain open for 
business where possible. Continuing to operate helped support our team members 
with meaningful employment and provided our loyal customers with the essential 
products they need.

This  approach  played  a  fundamental  role  in  shaping  Super  Retail  Group’s 
performance for FY20.

Despite some of the toughest operating conditions ever faced by the retail sector, 
the  Group  delivered  a  strong  trading  outcome.  The  parallel  efforts  of  keeping 
stores  open  where  possible  during  COVID-19  lockdowns,  while  successfully 
pivoting  to  meet  increased  demand  in  our  online  sales  channels  bolstered  the 
Group’s financial results.

STRONG FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Given  the  context  for  FY20,  we  were  very  pleased  with  the  Group’s  financial 
performance. Our omni-retail strategy has provided flexibility for our businesses 
to adapt quickly to the wholesale changes in customer behaviour triggered by the 
COVID-19 restrictions. Key features of the full year financial performance for the 
52 weeks to 27 June 2020 included:

• 

Total Group sales of $2.83 billion, an increase of 4.2 per cent on the previous 
comparative period (pcp)

•  Online sales of $290.5 million, an increase of 44.4 per cent on pcp

• 

• 

• 

Group like-for-like sales growth of 3.6 per cent

Group segment earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization 
(EBITDA) of $328.1 million, an increase of 4.3 per cent on pcp

Group segment earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of $236.1 million, an 
increase of 3.5 per cent on pcp

•  Normalised  net  profit  after  tax  (NPAT)  of  $154.1  million,  an  increase  of  

1 per cent on pcp.
FOUR POWERFUL BRANDS 
Our  four  core  brands  maintain  leading  positions  in  attractive  and  growing  
lifestyle categories. 

In  FY20,  Supercheap  Auto,  rebel  and  BCF  recorded  sales  growth,  with  Macpac 
recording  a  decline  largely  due  to  Australia’s  summer  bushfires  and  COVID-19 
affecting Easter trading.

ONLINE SALES MEETING CUSTOMER DEMAND
The channel shift to online accelerated dramatically in the second half of the past 
year  as  COVID-19  restrictions  prevented  many  customers  from  accessing  our 
stores. 

Group online sales increased by 44 per cent to $291 million, representing 10 per 
cent of Group sales. Click & Collect, which leverages the strength of our 697 stores, 
represented 43 per cent of Group online sales.

In responding to coronavirus restrictions, the Group successfully re-
allocated  store-based  resources  to  supporting  our  online  business, 
rapidly introducing contact-free Click & Collect across all four brands 
and replacing catalogue campaigns with digital advertising. 

More  than  one  million  customers  made  their  first  online  purchase 
with the Group during the year.

OUR STRATEGY IS ON TRACK
Our corporate strategy helped guide the Group though this period.  

The Group’s strategic focus remains on:
Growing the four core brands: focusing on our four core brands, key 
categories and leveraging scale.
Leveraging  closeness  to  our  customer:  building  a  personalised 
relationship with our customers, leveraging data and insights.
Connecting our omni-retail supply chain: continuing to build a fit-for-
purpose integrated supply chain.
Simplifying  the  business:  becoming  a  more  efficient  and  effective 
omni-retailer  through  optimising  overheads  and 
focusing  on 
customer-facing investment
Excelling in omni-retail: enhancing our customer experience through 
all touchpoints along the customer journey.

We  are  well  positioned  to  benefit  from  consumer  trends  emerging 
from the COVID-19 pandemic, including an even greater channel shift 
to online, uptake in DIY auto repairs and household projects, increased 
focus  on  personal  health  and  wellbeing,  and  greater  demand  for 
domestic travel and outdoor leisure activities.

CUSTOMER LOYALTY IS KEY
Our large, growing and loyal customer base continues to underpin our 
performance and provides us with a competitive advantage.

We  now  have  6.6  million  active  club  members  across  our  four  core 
brands  and,  together,  these  club  members  contributed  59  per  cent 
of total sales.

The  Group’s  active  membership  base  has  grown  almost  five  times 
faster than store numbers over the past four years. Scalable growth is 
critical to our success and our ability to expand the Group’s customer 
base multiple times faster than our physical store network reinforces 
our conviction in an omni-retail business strategy.

Pleasingly,  during  a  period  of  accelerated  online  sales  growth 
characterised  by  concentrated  demand  for  specific  products, 
customer satisfaction levels have improved with average club member 
NPS increasing to 60.7.

AN ENGAGED AND CAPABLE TEAM 
In such a challenging year, our capable and passionate team members 
have  been  more  important  to  the  business  than  ever  before.  They 
met  every  challenge  thrown  at  them  and  thrived.  On  behalf  of  the 
executive team, I offer my sincere gratitude for their dedication and 
commitment. In recognition of their extraordinary efforts, the Group 
made the decision to reward our permanent frontline team members 
with a one-off payment of between $250 and $1,000.

To  support  team  members  in  our  stores,  offices  and  distribution 
centres,  we  implemented  a  sweeping  series  of  measures  to  protect 
our  team  from  COVID-19.  This  included  new  protocols  around 
personal  hygiene,  physical  distancing,  incident  responses,  corporate 
travel and enhanced facilities cleaning. 

Our  team  member  safety  performance  continues  to  improve.  Our 
focus on safety reporting, early intervention, incident investigations, 
line  accountability  and  initiatives  such  as  the  ‘back  of  house’  rest 
program  delivered  improved  injury  rates.  We  achieved  a  Total 
Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) of 10.58 in FY20, a 25 per 
cent reduction on the previous year.  

In  February  2020,  Super  Retail  Group  was  awarded  the  Workplace 
Gender  Equality  Agency’s  (WGEA)  Employer  of  Choice  for  Gender 
Equality  citation.  This  is  a  significant  achievement.  We  were  the  
first  retail  organisation  to  achieve  this  citation  under  the  Agency’s  
new criteria. 

Acknowledgement  from  the  WGEA  is  the  culmination  of  sustained 
commitment  to  a  diverse  and  inclusive  workforce  and  confirmation 
of the progress we are making towards gender equality. We know the 
task  is  far  from  complete  however  and  continue  to  explore  ways  to 
improve.

Female  representation  on  our  Board  is  at  38  per  cent,  27  per  cent 
at  the  executive  leadership  level  and  39  per  cent  for  women  in 
senior  leadership.  A  previously-set  target  of  40  per  cent  female 
representation  at  Board  and  senior  leadership  levels  by  2020  was 
disappointingly missed, indicating where some of our priorities sit in 
the period ahead. 

We are also methodically resolving the underpayment issues identified 
and proactively reported to the Fair Work Ombudsman. In FY20, 6,478 
individual investigations were completed with $27 million, including 
interest and superannuation, paid to 2,490 former and current team 
members. As at the end of FY20, this brought the total amount paid 
to $31.5 million, including interest and superannuation, to 3,458 team 
members. We expect to conclude the remediation program, including 
all relevant back payments, in FY21.

A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
In FY20, we continued to make progress towards adopting a sustainable 
approach to our business operations. 

We  completed  energy  efficiency  upgrades  for  62  stores  and  our 
recycling rate increased by 2 per cent to 65 per cent. 

Our  brands  continue  to  support  our  sustainability  journey:  SCA 
recycled  more  than  1.3  million  litres  of  oil  and  79,000  car  batteries 
(returned  to  stores  by  customers);  rebel  started  an  in-store  sports 
shoe recycling initiative and continued to champion women’s sport; 
BCF contributed $280,000 to OzFish with a further $250,000 raised by 
customers; and Macpac completed their move to Fairtrade certified 
cotton for its T-shirt production. 

Super  Retail  Group  has  the  right  strategy  in  place  to  create  long-
term value for our shareholders and a dedicated team committed to 
ensuring continued success.

Despite ongoing challenges around COVID-19, the Group is in a strong 
position  to  inspire  our  customers  to  live  their  passion,  grow  our 
market share and create value for our shareholders.

2020 events:  
testing the strength of 
Super Retail Group

continued to serve their community at the 
height of the bushfire crisis

LOCAL FUNDRAISING

Two  significant  events 
in  2020  tested 
the  strength  of  Super  Retail  Group.  The 
devastating  summer  bushfire  season  and 
the global impact of the coronavirus brought 
unique  challenges  and 
required  both 
strategic and compassionate responses.

Against the ongoing backdrop of drought in 
rural  and  regional  Australia,  these  events 
showed  how  our  four  core  brands  support 
the  communities  in  which  they  operate; 
in  both  the  good  times  as  well  as  times  of 
greatest need. 

They  also 
source  of 
reinforced  our 
advantage – engaged team, loyal customers 
and  powerful  brands  –  as  the  features 
underpinning the strength of our response 
in  crisis,  as  well  as  our  ability  to  quickly 
recover.  

SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITIES IN 
WHICH WE OPERATE

It  was  a  tough  start  to  the  new  year  for 
many  Australians.  Major  bushfires  resulted 
in  loss  of  life,  property  and  razed  millions  
of hectares. 

As an employer operating in many of those 
fire-ravaged  communities,  we  sought  to 
help  our  loyal  customers,  team  members 
and their communities. 

Super Retail Group contributed $250,000 to 
the Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery 
program to help deal with the aftermath of 
the summer’s disastrous bushfires.

In  addition  to  the  financial  contribution, 
we  offered  paid  leave  to  our  permanent 
team  members  who  were  active  volunteer 
firefighters  so  they  could  continue  their 
efforts  to  contain  the  fires  throughout  the 
summer.  We  will  never  be  able  to  match 
the  generosity  of  spirit  of  the  volunteer 
firefighters  in  our  team,  but  we  wanted  to 
ensure  they  did  not  suffer  financially  for 
battling the fires on our behalf. 

Across  our  support  offices  and  stores,  a 
further  $159,000  was  raised  for  the  Red 
Cross,  WIRES,  BlazeAid,  Wildlife  Victoria 
and  the  NSW  Rural  Fire  Service  from  local 
fundraising  activities  and  a  point-of-sale 
‘round up’ initiative.

Australian  Defence 
Force  personnel, 
Police, State Emergency Services and other

saw the best in people.

NAVIGATING THE COVID-19 CRISIS

The  impact  of  COVID-19  across  the  entire 
retail  industry  was  significant.  As  well  as 
having an impact on overall sales, COVID-19 
has changed the way people shop. 

Super  Retail  Group’s  first  response  to  the 
crisis was anchored to three core principles: 
to  keep  everyone  safe;  keep  the  business 
running and keep people in jobs.

In  New  Zealand,  we  followed  the  directive  
of the New Zealand government and closed 
our  Supercheap  Auto  and  Macpac  stores 
during the nationwide lockdown.

In  Australia,  retail  remained  open  and 
we  continued  to  trade  in  our  Supercheap 
Auto,  rebel,  BCF  and  Macpac  Australian 
stores.*  We  were  able  to  remain  open  in 
a way that protected the health and safety 
of  team  members  and  customers,  while 
supporting  the  ongoing  employment  of  
our people.

of  measures  to  achieve  social  distancing  
and  enhance  safety,

screens  at  registers,  limits  on  customer 
numbers  in  stores  and  a  contact-free  Click

including 

The essential nature of many of our products 
meant  demand  for  some  categories  was 
significantly higher than the prior period.

At  Supercheap  Auto  and  BCF,  for  example, 
in  demand  for  
increase 
there  was  an 
self-sufficiency  products 
essential  and 

including  portable  gas  and  fuels,  camping 
stoves,  batteries,  refrigeration  equipment   
and generators.

At  rebel,  we  saw  heightened  demand  for 
exercise and personal fitness products. With 
more Australians turning to home workouts 
and appreciating the link between physical 
health  and  mental  health,  the  increased 
sales  of  weights  and  yoga  and  pilates 
accessories and equipment was particularly 
pronounced. 

The  traditional  Easter  long  weekend  was 
anything but traditional, and our marketing 
campaigns  at  the  time  quickly  pivoted  to 
DIY  car  care  at  home,  biggest  backyard 
campouts,  at-home  workouts  and  bringing 
the outdoors in. 

Online  sales  experienced  strong  growth, 
both for home delivery and Click & Collect, 
as  customers  looked  to  minimise  people-
to-people  contact  to  halt  the  spread  of  
the virus. 

COVID-19  has  challenged  our  traditional 
assumptions  and  changed  the  retailing 
landscape.  The  digitisation  of  retail  has 
always  been  expected,  however  COVID-19 
has  accelerated  that  change  faster  than 
anyone  anticipated.  Super  Retail  Group’s 
investment in our digital offer placed us in a 
strong position to meet customer demand.

While  the  Group  has  weathered  the  initial 
storm,  and  traded  throughout,  conditions 
will  continue  to  be  challenging.  As  nations 
move  to  a  state  of  recovery,  the  ongoing 
strength of our organisation lies in our ability 
to  meet  demand  and  serve  our  customers 
with a seamless omni-retail offer.

team  is  tailoring  that  shopping  experience 
for our customers. 

to  help 

Recalling  a  specific  car  model  can  be  a 
challenge for many customers, however this 
information  is  an  essential  first-step  when 
shopping for car parts. 

To  help  solve  this  challenge,  Supercheap 
Auto  launched  ‘My  Garage’,  an  online  self-
service  and  in-store  technology  solution 
that allows customers to save the details of 
five vehicles to their Club Plus membership 
or  Trade  account  and  search  a  database 
of  39,000  vehicles  for  specific  parts  and 
accessories. 

The  process  integrates  into  a  seamless 
shopping experience by allowing customers 
shopping online to quickly identify their car 
model  through  their  vehicle  registration 
number.  Once  they  have  entered  their 
registration number into My Garage, a large 

range of car parts and accessories specific to 
their car model is displayed. 

To access the information in store, our team 
scans the customer’s Club Plus membership 
card  (or  finds  their  membership  via  their 
phone  number  or  email),  which  brings  
up  the  vehicles  saved  in  their  garage.  Our 
store team can then help members find the 
right parts and accessories specific to their 
car model. 

Having  this  technology  capability  both 
online  and  in  store  enables  us  to  better 
support  customer  needs,  provides  expert 
advice on the right products for the vehicles 
and  ensures  customers 
leave  with  the 
products they need. 

have 

searches 

Since  launching  My  Garage,  the  details 
of  more  than  550,000  vehicles  have 
been  stored  and  more  than  4.8  million 
registration 
been  
conducted. In turn, this improves conversion  
twice  as 
(customers  are  more 
likely  to  purchase  a  product  if  using  the  
My Garage registration search) and improves  
the  shopping  experience  by  reducing  the 
likelihood of the customer having to return 
for an alternative product.

The  traditional  Easter  holiday  for  many  Australians  was  a  different  experience  in  2020.  
With significant lockdown restrictions in place across the country, the true ingenuity and 
spirit of the nation created a great opportunity for BCF to bring Australians together in a 
different way.

Instead  of  travelling,  families  across  the  country  headed  to  their  backyards  with  their 
camping gear, inspired by BCF’s biggest backyard campout.

Over a traditional Easter weekend, BCF customers would ordinarily invest in fridges, tents, 
chairs, showers and fire pits and travel to national parks, beaches and caravan sites. Despite 
having limited travel options over the Easter period, the BCF team didn’t want to see our 
customers’ passion for the outdoors go to waste.

To  capture  the  camping  experience  at  home,  the  idea  to  set  up  a  campsite  in  
the  backyard  or  lay  out  the  swags  below  the  balcony  for  a  night  under  the  stars  quickly  
grew traction. 

Australians  were  encouraged  to  capture  the  fun  and  win  prizes  by  sharing  their  creative 
backyard camping setups using the hashtag #BCFbackyard on social media. The campaign 
created  extremely  high  engagement  with  extensive  national,  metropolitan  and  regional 
media  stories,  4,000-plus  entries  to  #BCFbackyard  and  a  Facebook  event  page  that  was 
joined by more than 889,000 people. Online traffic increased by 30 per cent and the social 
media campaign reached more than three million Australians.

In  addition  to  the  high  engagement  from  team  members  and  customers,  NPS  over  the 
Easter period increased seven per cent when compared to the LFL period for the previous 
year, in what was an otherwise challenging time.

Australia’s biggest backyard campout brought people together as a community. It highlighted 
the importance of family, personal wellbeing and making the most of what we have, at a 
time when Australia needed it most.

It’s been more than a decade since Macpac switched to organic cotton in their Australian-
made Aztec® backpack canvas, providing the catalyst for an ongoing journey. Macpac made 
a  commitment  in  2017  to  use  only  organic  cotton  in  its  T-shirt  and  hoody  range,  which 
represents more than 95 per cent of the brand’s cotton usage.

In 2019, Macpac partnered with Fairtrade Australia to enhance the transparency and social 
responsibility in its cotton value chain. 

Under  Fairtrade’s  oversight,  cotton  growers  are  guaranteed  a  minimum  price  for  what 
they farm, helping establish financial security and making them less vulnerable to poverty. 
Additionally,  Fairtrade  encourages  producers  to  prioritise  community  projects  that  are 
important  to  them,  such  as  education  or  healthcare  for  their  children,  improving  their 
businesses or building vital infrastructure such as roads and bridges.

As  consumer  knowledge  of  the  Fairtrade  label  grows,  the  success  of  Macpac’s  Fairtrade 
organic cotton is evident. In 2019, Macpac purchased 6,600 kg of Fairtrade organic cotton 
for their T-shirts. With the transition to Fairtrade cotton complete, and in order to meet 
growing demand in 2020, this purchase was increased to more than 31,000 kg.

Macpac’s manufacturing Trade Partner has achieved ‘carbon neutrality’ under the United 
Nations  ‘Climate  Neutral  Now’  program  and  was  awarded  the  ‘Carbon  Neutral  Gold  
Standard’ by One Carbon World. Both of Macpac’s Yarn Spinning Trade Partners are certified 
to  the  Oeko-Tex  Standard  100®  for  responsible  chemicals  management.  In  addition,  one 
partner  reports  annually  to  the  Sustainable  Apparel  Coalition’s  Higg  Index®  on  their 
environmental and social impact. 

From  2020,  Macpac’s  Fairtrade  organic  cotton  range  will  also  be  shipped  with  landfill 
biodegradable polybags that have 30 per cent recycled content. 

As part of Macpac’s commitment to driving transparency in the cotton supply chain, the team 
is a signatory to the Responsible Sourcing Network’s (RSN) Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan 
Cotton  Pledges  to  end  slavery.  This  Responsible  Sourcing  Code  prohibits  sourcing  from 
Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and the Xinjiang region of China.

industry  skills  while  they  complete  their

development.

psychological  health  and  safety  of  our 
customers,  team  members,  contractors, 
business  partners  and  communities.  We  
care about health, safety and wellbeing and

TRIFR  adjusted  from  15.95  to  15.86.  The

RECOGNISED FOR GENDER 
EQUALITY

In  February  2020,  Super  Retail  Group  was 
awarded  the  Workplace  Gender  Equality 
Agency’s  (WGEA)  Employer  of  Choice  for 
Gender Equality citation. We were the first 
retail  organisation  to  achieve  this  citation 
under the agency’s new criteria. 

Acknowledgement  from  the  WGEA  is  the 
culmination  of  sustained  commitment 
over many years to a diverse and inclusive 
workforce and confirmation of the progress 
we are making towards gender equality. 

Female  representation  on  our  Board  is  at 
38  per  cent,  27  per  cent  at  the  executive 
leadership level and 39 per cent for women 
in senior leadership. A previously-set target 
of  40  per  cent  female  representation  at 
Board and senior leadership levels by 2020 
was disappointingly missed.

We  still  have  a  way  to  go  on  our  journey, 
but  Super  Retail  Group  is  committed  to 
achieving  gender  equality  in  our  Board, 
executive  and  senior 
leadership  teams 
within  three  to  five  years.  Super  Retail 
Group’s  2020  Workplace  Gender  Equality

Operating and Financial Review (continued) 

Review of Financial Condition 

A number of factors are influencing the financial results of the Group which will need to be considered when reviewing the financial 
performance of the business.  The key factors to be considered are:

The Group achieved total sales growth of 4.2 per cent which included like-for-like sales growth across the three largest divisions of 
SCA, rebel and BCF.  Macpac experienced a sales decline of 5.0 per cent and negative like-for-like sales of 9.1 per cent.  The 4.2 per 
cent sales growth for the Group translated into a 4.3 per cent increase in Segment EBITDA, a 3.5 per cent increase in Segment EBIT 
and a 1.0 per cent increase in normalised net profit after tax.   

Net profit after  tax (NPAT)  attributable  to  owners was  $110.2 million  compared  to  $139.3 million  in  the prior period  representing a 
decrease of 20.9 per cent.  Normalised NPAT was $154.1 million compared to $152.5 million in the prior period, an increase of 1.0 per 
cent.  The table below provides the reconciliation to the statutory profit. 

Impacts of COVID-19 

COVID-19  has  had  a  significant  impact  on  the  Group  since  March  2020.    There  have  been  major  shifts  in  customer  purchasing 
behaviour from March, when restrictions were first put in place.  Pre-emptive actions were initiated to protect team members, liquidity 
and profit.  These actions have positioned the Group to trade through an extremely volatile period. 

The Group traded all stores through this period, with the exception of stores that were government mandated for closure including 
New Zealand stores for seven weeks and three stores in Tasmania for two weeks.  The Group was therefore able to provide permanent 
store-based  team  members  with  continuity  of  wages  through  this  period  whilst  implementing  appropriate  safety  procedures  to 
protect  team  members.    In  July  2020,  government  mandated  restrictions  in  Victoria  have  increased  with  stage  four  restrictions 
impacting 94 stores in Melbourne (35 Supercheap Auto; 32 rebel; 14 Macpac; 13 BCF) from week six, all stores continue to operate 
contact-free Click & Collect.  From 12 August, New Zealand government level three restrictions have impacted 21 stores in Auckland 
(12 Supercheap Auto; 9 Macpac), all stores continue to operate contact-free Click & Collect. 

Specific actions taken to improve liquidity were announced on 26 March 2020, including the cancelation of the interim dividend of 
$42.5  million.    The  Group  secured  an  additional  $100.0  million  debt  funding  facility.    Project  activity  was  suspended  and  all 
discretionary expenditure was curtailed.  The Group was well supported by its trade partners who re-scheduled committed inventory 
purchases and provided extended payment terms.  As a result, the trade payables balance at June 2020 is $60.4 million or 22.0 per 
cent higher than the comparative period.  Additionally, rental relief was negotiated with a number of landlords, and approximately 
$18.0 million of rent remains in arrears at balance date.  Rent abatement of $2.4 million was agreed representing approximately 0.9 
per cent of the pre AASB 16 Leases expense, which was realised in the profit and loss results. 

Following a 26.2 per cent decline in Group like-for-like sales in April 2020, like-for-like sales increased by 26.5 per cent in May and 27.7 
per  cent  in  June.    Through  this  period  customer  purchasing  patterns  have  shifted  significantly  between  categories  and  channels 
(stores and online).  In the fourth quarter of the year, Group online sales increased 102.7 per cent to represent approximately 15 per 
cent of Group sales.  This acceleration of online has tested the omni-retailing strategy, validated its importance and provided the 
Group with flexibility to quickly respond to customer needs. 

As a result of a significant decline in sales in April, Macpac Australia qualified for the Australian Government JobKeeper payment.  
The New Zealand operations of SCA and Macpac were impacted by government mandated store closures for seven weeks.  The 
total of government wage support received in the 2020 financial year was $6.5 million.  The New Zealand government wage subsidy 
covered a 12 week period and ended in June 2020.  Jobkeeper subsidy for Macpac Australia is expected to end in September 2020. 

Equity Raising 

On 15 June 2020, the Group announced an underwritten one for seven accelerated pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer to 
raise equity of approximately $203 million at a fixed price of $7.19 per share.  The equity raising comprised an institutional entitlement 
offer which settled on 24 June 2020 and a retail entitlement offer which settled on 9 July 2020, subsequent to the end of the financial 
year.  The institutional entitlement resulted in cash proceeds net of transaction costs of $157.0 million being received in June.  The 
retail  entitlement  settled  post  year  end with  $43.6 million  being  received  in  July  2020.  The equity  raising  has  reduced  the Group’s 
leverage and provides flexibility for the business to continue to execute its strategy in a more uncertain period.

Group results (continued) 

At the time of the equity raising the Group identified that there was approximately $58.0 million of pre-tax costs to be included in the 
result for the year that will not be included in the normalised net profit after tax due to their size or nature.  The finalised value is $54.1 
pre-tax ($38.0 million post-tax).  A schedule of these items is outlined below.

While the impact of COVID-19 demonstrated the benefits of the Group’s strategy of building omni-channel capability, it also required 
actions to be undertaken to ensure agile strategy execution.  As a result, there was an acceleration of the amortisation reflecting the 
revision of useful lives of selected technology assets reflecting the shift to digital strategies.  The business restructuring costs relate to a 
reduction in support office team members.  As a result of the equity raising, interest rate swaps were terminated as the underlying 
debt was repaid.  As part of the implementation of the Group’s four core brands business strategy, closure activities were undertaken 
for Autocrew (in which the Group had a 50 per cent investment) and Infinite Retail businesses.  These businesses made a small loss in 
the 2020 financial year. 

There was an increase in the estimate for team member underpayments.  The movement in this estimate has two elements.  The total 
amount of retail manager and set-up team member underpayments is lower than initially estimated.  Offsetting this decrease is the 
identification of additional team members also impacted by overtime underpayments.

Impact of AASB 16 Leases 

Given the significance of the impact that the new accounting standard AASB 16 Leases has on the financial year and balance sheet 
at  27  June  2020,  the  following  tables  are  included  to  assist  with  comparison  with  the  prior  period.  This  is  non-IFRS  information.  In 
accordance with the standard the Group is not required to restate the prior year comparative.

Division Results (continued) 

Supercheap Auto (continued) 

Auto  accessories and  auto  maintenance, which  represent  approximately  three quarters of  divisional  revenue,  were  the  strongest 
performing categories.  Like-for-like sales growth was achieved in all categories including tools and outdoors.  Sales in Supercheap 
Auto reflected a shift towards essential, DIY auto and household project products during the peak COVID-19 restriction period. 

Online sales increased by 37 per cent to $82.0 million.  Online sales represented seven per cent of Supercheap Auto’s total sales and 
Click & Collect accounted for over 60 per cent of these online sales. 

Supercheap  Auto active Club Plus  membership increased by approximately four per cent  during  the financial year to  1.71 million 
members.  Sales attributable  to club members increased to 40 per cent  of total  sales.  Average club member  net promotor score 
(NPS) increased to 63 from 61 in the prior comparative period. 

During the 2020 financial year, the business opened four new stores and closed one store.  As at the end of the financial year, the 
business had a total of 281 stores in Australia and 45 stores in New Zealand. 

rebel 

Sales increased by 3.3 per cent to $1,038.6 million (excluding Infinite Retail) with like-for-like growth of 2.7 per cent. Like-for-like growth 
was driven by higher average transaction value.  Sales declined in April due to government restrictions, but rebounded during the 
fourth quarter following 9.1 per cent like-for-like sales growth in May and June.  Sales growth in June was impacted by the annual 
June clearance sale being deferred to July due to a lower in-stock position.  

Queensland and Western Australia achieved the strongest like-for-like sales growth. 

Gross margin increased due to lower promotional activity.  Operating expenses increased in rebel mostly due to an increased share 
of group infrastructure as the business fully migrated into group distribution centres and expanded online.  The operating expense 
increase partially offsetting gross margin expansion. 

Segment EBITDA increased by 3.3 per cent to $126.6 million and EBITDA margin of 12.2 per cent was 0.1 per cent higher than the prior 
comparative period. 

Segment  EBIT  increased  by  3.0  per  cent  to  $96.6  million  and  EBIT  margin  of  9.3  per  cent  was  0.1  per  cent  higher  than  the  prior 
comparative period. 

Fitness and hardgoods were the best performing categories as COVID-19 restrictions led to strong demand for home fitness products. 
Apparel and footwear sales were impacted by lower foot traffic in stores due to COVID-19 but recovered during the fourth quarter 
as restrictions eased. 

Online sales increased by 49 per cent to $141.2 million reflecting the strong channel shift during COVID-19.  Online sales represented 
14 per cent of total rebel sales and Click & Collect accounted for approximately 30 per cent of these online sales. 

Rebel active club membership increased by approximately 12 per cent during the financial year to 2.88 million members.  Sales to 
club members increased to 66 per cent of rebel sales. Average club member NPS was 55. 

During the 2020 financial year, rebel closed one store.  As at the end of the financial year, rebel had 160 stores. 

The  Infinite  Retail  business  has  been  permanently  discontinued.  Infinite  Retail  reported  $15.9  million  of  sales  in  the  financial  year 
representing a decline of $10.8 million to the prior comparative period. 

BCF  

Sales increased by 4.0 per cent to $535.0 million.  Like-for-like grew 3.0 per cent driven by both increased transactions and higher 
average transaction value. Sales declined in April due to government restrictions particularly impacting the Easter holiday period, but 
rebounded during the fourth quarter following 68.1 per cent like-for-like sales growth in May and June. 

Western Australia and Queensland were the strongest performing States.

The BCF club loyalty program experienced strong growth with active memberships increasing by approximately 6 per cent to 1.54 
million.  BCF club members increased to 83 per cent of total BCF sales.  Average club member NPS increased to 64 from 61 in the 
prior comparative period. 

Online sales grew by 33 per cent to $45.3 million reflecting a shift to the online channel due to COVID-19.  Online sales represented 9 
per cent of total BCF sales and Click & Collect accounted for just over two thirds of these online sales. 

BCF opened four stores and closed one store during the financial year.  As at the end of the financial year, BCF had 139 stores. 

Macpac 

Sales fell by 5.0 per cent to $131.9 million and like-for-like sales decreased by 9.1 per cent. 

In Australia, like-for-like sales decreased by 9.7 per cent as a result of the impact of summer bushfires on peak Christmas trading and 
the impact of COVID-19 on store foot traffic during the key Easter trading period.  In New Zealand, like-for-like sales decreased by 8.2 
per cent mainly due to a government mandated seven week store shutdown relating to COVID-19.  Sales in both Australia and New 
Zealand rebounded during the fourth quarter with 7.8 per cent like-for-like sales growth in May and June. 

Segment EBIT decreased to $7.2 million and segment EBIT margin decreased to 5.5 per cent.  The majority of this decline was recorded 
in the first half of the financial year. 

Online sales increased by 83 per cent to $22.0 million and represented 17 per cent of Macpac sales.  Click & Collect, which was only 
recently introduced in New Zealand stores, represented approximately 5 per cent of online sales. 

Macpac club membership increased by approximately 10 per cent to 0.45 million and these club members represented 64 per cent 
of total Macpac sales.  Average club membership NPS was 67 per cent. 

During the 2020 financial year, Macpac opened three stores and closed one store.  As at the end of the financial year, Macpac had 
72 stores comprising 62 small format stores and ten Adventure Hub stores.  

The weaker financial performance of Macpac this year has reduced the amount of headroom when assessing the carrying value of 
brand name and goodwill intangibles.  The value-in-use cash flow analysis is based on the business improving financial performance 
consistent with the 2019 financial year by financial year 2022 and delivering growth levels consistent with historical levels. Refer to 
Note 10(b) of the financial statements for details of these assumptions. 

Group Costs 

Group costs for the period were $18.3 million, which was $1.8 million lower than the prior comparative period.  Group costs included 
corporate costs of $12.1 million, $3.4 million of un-allocated distribution centre costs and $2.8 million relating to omni-retail 
development and digital investment.

Net cash inflow from operations has increased by $205.8 million due to the change in treatment of rental expenses under AASB 16 
Leases and an improvement in working capital.  Excluding the impact of AASB 16 Leases, operating cash flow improved by $164.0 
million.  This improvement was mainly driven by a lower net inventory investment, lease payment deferrals and a shift in tax payments, 
the benefits of which are expected to reverse in the next financial year. 

Working capital investment declined $118.2 million due to the significant decline in inventory of $57.8 million which was impacted by 
both  COVID-19  liquidity  management  measures  and  the  strong  increase  in  sales  in  May  and  June.    Trade  and  other  payables 
increased by $79.6 million due a shift in purchases and improved trading terms agreed with major trading partners, rent deferral of 
$18.0 million on certain leases and reduced tax payments of $13.6 million.   

Net debt of $902.0 million included $939.3 million of lease liabilities.  Excluding lease liabilities, the Group was in a net cash position of 
$37.3 million an improvement of $424.0 million compared to the prior year.  All borrowings were repaid in July 2020.  The $100 million 
ANZ  bilateral  facility  was  cancelled  in  August  2020.    The  Group  has  sufficient  facilities  in  place  to  fund  its  strategy  and  remains 
comfortably within banking covenants.   

The impact of the implementation of AASB 16 Leases this financial year has reduced net assets by $40.1 million.  Net assets for the 
Group increased by $175.3 million primarily due to the proceeds of the institutional component of the equity raising.   

Capital expenditure reduced from $90.5 million in 2019 to $67.9 million as liquidity measures were implemented during the COVID-19 
trading  period.    Expenditure  included  $28.0  million  in  new  and  refurbished  store  fitout  and  $39.8  million  in  building  omni-retail 
capabilities, data and analytics, and other information technology projects.   

(e) 

Dividends 

The interim dividend of 22.0 cents was cancelled on 26 March 2020 to preserve cash in view of the uncertain economic outlook at 
the onset of COVID-19.  The Group has declared a 19.5 cents per share fully franked final dividend for the financial year.  The amount

Risks  

4.  Competition Intensity 

The Group operates in a competitive retail market exhibiting 
low barriers to entry. The growth and intensity of competition in 
the increasingly globalised retail market continues which 
means that the Group faces increased competition from 
existing competitors and new entrants, particularly into the 
Australian and New Zealand retail markets.  The Group’s 
performance and profitability could be adversely affected if 
the actions of competitors or potential competitors become 
more effective, new competitors enter the market or current 
economic conditions (including as a result of COVID-19) lead 
to significant promotional or clearance activity by competitors 
in financial distress, particularly if the Group is unable to 
respond effectively to such activity or its response is delayed. 

5. 

Industrial Relations 

Failure by an employer to comply with relevant employment 
laws, awards or enterprise agreements can lead to potential 
regulatory investigations or enforcement actions or other civil 
or criminal fines or penalties. As disclosed on 12 February 2019, 
the Group identified underpayments of overtime and some 
allowances to retail managers and other staff members, in 
breach of the applicable award and enterprise agreement, 
and self-reported the underpayments to the Fair Work 
Ombudsman.  This followed an earlier self-disclosure to the Fair 
Work Ombudsman of the underpayment of overtime and 
some allowances to the Group's new store set up employees. 
Although a significant proportion of the remediation work 
necessitated by these underpayments has been completed, 
there are ongoing efforts to contact former team members 
and liaise with current team members in relation to their 
entitlements and the Group continues to liaise with the Fair 
Work Ombudsman in relation to the oversight and 
investigation of these issues.   

6. 

Supply Chain and Inventory Agility for Omni-Retail  

Any disruptions, adverse changes or inefficiencies in the 
Group’s supply chain (including as a result of COVID-19, 
geopolitical tensions or instability or changes in 
macroeconomic conditions) could have an adverse impact 
on the Group’s ability to supply products to its customers. The 
supply and distribution of the Group’s products (including 
delivery of products direct to consumers) is reliant on the 
effective and continued operation of third party logistics 
providers. 

Mitigating Actions (including but not limited to) 
 

There are a number of initiatives in progress to mitigate this 
risk including pricing and promotion, supply chain 
efficiency, e-commerce experience, programmatic 
marketing and the order management system.

deferred into performance rights for a 
12-month period. The quantum of the 
adjustment was determined by the 
Board, using a sliding scale based on 
the performance of the PBT measures’ 
distance from target.  An above 
target result for PBT resulted in the 
adjustment of 14.8 percentage 
points.   

Additionally, as communicated in 
2019, in FY20 the STI award for all 
Executive KMP will be paid 80 per cent 
cash and 20 per cent equity, which 
will vest 10 per cent in September 
2021, and 10 per cent in September 
2022. This supports an increase in 
executive shareholding, enhances risk 
management, executive retention, 
and reflects broader market practice.  

FRONTLINE TEAM THANK YOU 

Super Retail Group’s long-held belief 
that our frontline leaders and their 
teams are a significant business 
advantage has been strengthened 
during the year.  We have asked a lot 
from teams in stores and distribution 
centres during the bushfire and 
COVID-19 events. For many, this has 
been a stressful and challenging 
period. Nevertheless, they have 
maintained a strong focus on team 
wellbeing and delivered for our 
customers.   

In recognition of this significant 
contribution the Group will pay these 
frontline leaders and their teams a 
one-off thank you payment of up to 
$1,000.   

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE (LTI) 

The FY18 LTI grant reached the end 
of its three-year performance period 
on 27 June 2020.  Only the threshold 
Return on Capital (ROC) hurdle was 
achieved.  As a result 38.3 per cent 
of the total FY18 grant will vest.  
For further detail, refer to Section 4. 

Following approval at the 2019 AGM, 
a one-off co-investment grant of 
Performance Rights was awarded to 
Mr Heraghty, to the value of $400,000 
(vesting over a three to five-year 
period).  

Group sales rebounded strongly 
during the fourth quarter as the 
easing of COVID-19 restrictions 
led to a significant uplift in 
domestic tourism and travel, 
personal fitness and outdoor 
leisure activities. Following a 26.2 
per cent decline in monthly like-
for-like sales in April (versus prior 
corresponding period) during 
peak COVID-19 lockdown, 
monthly like-for like sales 
increased by 26.5 per cent in 
May and 27.7 per cent in June. 

Following a successful $203 million 
equity raising that was 
completed in July, the Group has 
a strong balance sheet, with no 
net debt (excluding lease 
liabilities) and is well positioned to 
execute its omni-retail strategy 
and pursue organic market share 
growth opportunities. 

Remuneration outcomes recognise 
the impact of COVID-19 on the 
business and the interests of 
stakeholders. 

EXECUTIVE SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE (STI) 

The Group’s financial performance 
has resulted in the opening of the 
normalised PBT performance gate to 
the STI Scheme. The Executive KMP STI 
achievement, as detailed in Section 4 
of this report, was commensurate with 
the performance of the Company 
during the FY20 year.  The Board 
considered the application of 
discretion as a result of the COVID-19 
pandemic, with reference to the 
guidance issued by ASIC.(1) 

Recognising the impact of COVID-19 
on a range of the Group’s 
stakeholders, the Board applied a 
COVID-19 adjustment and moderated 
the in-year STI outcomes downward 
for Executive KMP.  

In considering COVID-19’s impact on 
performance, the Board sought to 
moderate and contextualise the 
strong Group performance by 
considering adverse impacts on 
stakeholders, and in particular: 

 

The cancellation of the interim 
dividend of $42.5 million on 
26 March 2020. 

 

 

The Group had two businesses 
qualify for government wage 
support during March to June of 
$6.5 million. Both Supercheap Auto 
and Macpac qualified for the 
‘wage subsidy’ in New Zealand and 
Macpac qualified for the 
JobKeeper allowance in Australia.  
The effect of the government 
support was that $1.5 million 
subsidised store wages and $5.0 
million paid team members who 
were impacted by government 
mandated restrictions. 

The impact on team members with 
a 13 per cent reduction of Support 
Office team members, and 
temporary reduction in available 
hours for casual team members 
during April and May. 

Further, the Board took into account the 
unprecedented challenge and 
complexity faced by management in 
achieving many positive outcomes, 
including in particular: 

  During FY20 Total Shareholder 
Return for the Group for the 52-
week period ended 27 June 2020 of 
+2.9 per cent outperformed peers 
in the index (+1.7 per cent 
Consumer Discretionary sector). 

  Normalised EPS at 78.0 cents was 

an increase of one per cent on the 
prior year of 77.3 cents.  EPS was 
slightly diluted (by 0.1 cents) due to 
the capital raising. 

  No reductions in permanent store-

based team member employment, 
together with the full payment of 
any team member earned 
incentive during the period. 

Accordingly, the Board determined 
management’s STI outcomes be 
partially reduced and deferred. The 
Board followed a rigorous process to 
assess impacts to stakeholders and the 
approach was externally reviewed. This 
outcome is a fair recognition of both 
the adverse impacts on stakeholders 
and the positive impacts of good 
management execution delivering 
strong company performance in the 
period. 

The COVID-19 adjustment moderates 
the STI outcomes by applying a 7.4 
percentage point reduction to the raw

FY20 REMUNERATION OUTCOMES 

Short-Term Incentive Scorecard 
Outcomes for FY20 

For the year to 27 June 2020, the 
normalised PBT target was set at 
$215.3 million, 4.1 per cent higher 
than the normalised PBT 
achieved in the period to          
29 June 2019 of $206.8 million. 

The financial gateway for the STI 
Scheme of $193.8 million (90 per 
cent of target) was exceeded 
and therefore, as per scheme 
rules, Executive KMP scorecards 
were activated. 

Divisional profit is measured by 
segment EBIT performance 
against budget. In the year to 

27 June 2020, both Supercheap 
Auto and rebel divisions 
achieved their EBIT budget. 

The individual KPI and FY20 
achievements, as determined by 
the Board for the Group MD and 
CEO and other Executive KMP, 
are detailed in Table 3a and 3b.

This has been reduced to $217.4 million, 
reflecting adjustments not included in 
segment PBT.   
The Group 12-month rolling average monthly 
net inventory (excluding Group unallocated 
inventory and creditors) result was $249.3 
million. 

Restructuring of FY20 Portfolio plan resulted in 
significant reduction of spend while 
maintaining delivery of benefits.

GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER – A HERAGHTY 

The overall outcome of Mr Heraghty as the Group MD and CEO was assessed by the Board to be a performance 
level of 135.4 per cent of target, driven by strong performance across the balanced scorecard.  

A COVID-19 adjustment was subsequently applied to the scorecard outcome, resulting in an adjusted scorecard 
outcome of 128 per cent.  

This adjusted scorecard outcome results in an STI outcome payable to Mr Heraghty of $800,000, delivered as 
follows:  

  $46,250 deferred over a one-year period (deferral to equity for a 12-month period under the COVID-19 

adjustment); 

  $603,000 paid as cash; and 

  $150,750 deferred over a two-year period (deferral to equity under STI Scheme rules), with 50 per cent payable in 

one year, 50 per cent payable in two years.

OTHER EXECUTIVE KMP  

All Executive Leadership Team 
members, including Executive 
KMP, have had the same 
COVID-19 adjustment applied to 
their STI outcomes. The following 
assessments for the other 
Executive KMP were made.   

Mr Brandon was assessed at 57.4 
per cent of target as a result of 
the disappointing performance 
of Macpac in the first half.   

Mr Burns’ performance was 
assessed at 136.1 per cent of 
target driven by 
outperformance of PBT and 
strong below-the-line metrics.   

Mr Williams was assessed at 126.4 
per cent of target driven by 
strong group financial 
performance and earning 
performance of rebel. 

Mr Ward and Mr Bradshaw were 
KMP for a partial period of the 
year (eleven months and seven 
months, respectively). The 
scheme applies but payment is 
pro-rated. 

Mr Ward was assessed at 127.5 
per cent of target as a result of 
strong group financial 
performance and earning 
performance of Supercheap 
Auto.   

Mr Bradshaw was assessed at 
108.7 per cent of target as a 
result of strong below-the-line 
metrics, with some discretion 
due to the uncontrollable 
impact of the bushfires on the 
business performance. 

SUMMARY 

The STI outcomes for 
Executive KMP are reflected 
in Table 12.  

The FY20 STI payment was 
determined on 20 July 2020. 

The COVID-19 adjustment 
moderates the STI outcomes by 
applying a 7.4 percentage point 
reduction to the raw STI score and 
requiring a further 7.4 percentage 
points of STI  

outcome to be deferred into 
performance rights for a 12-
month period.  

Additionally, as communicated 
in 2019, in FY20 the STI award for 
all Executive KMP will be paid 80 
per cent cash and 20 per cent 
equity, which will vest 10 per 
cent in September 2021, and 10 
per cent in September 2022. This 
supports an increase in 
executive shareholding, 
enhances risk management and 
executive retention, and reflects 
broader market practice.  

The impact of both the COVID-
19 adjustment and the equity 
deferral for Executive KMP are 
reflected in Table 4.

LTI OUTCOMES FOR FY20 

The FY18 LTI grant reached the end 
of its three-year performance 
period on 27 June 2020 and 38.3 
per cent will vest as a result of 
performance against the LTI 
hurdles. The hurdle for the Return 
on Capital (ROC) metric was 
achieved while the hurdle for the 
Earnings Per Share (EPS) metric was 
not met.  Percentage vesting is 
determined on a sliding scale. For 
further detail, refer to Table 8.  

Table 5 outlines the performance 
outcomes for LTI performance 
rights granted between the FY16 
to FY18 financial periods. 

Table 6 outlines the subsequent 
vesting and forfeiture adjusting for 
the retail management and Set Up 
team member underpayment 
consistent with the outline in the 
FY19 Remuneration Report. Each 
grant is subject to equally weighted 
performance measures (EPS and 
ROC). 

TEAM MEMBER REMEDIATION 

During the year, the Group 
updated its total estimate for team 
member back payments from $53.2 
million as at 29 December 2018 to 
$62.4 million as at 27 June 2020, 
excluding execution costs. 

The estimate increase of $9.2 million 
since December 2018 has resulted 
in a $10.3 million after tax expense 
in FY20. The movement in this 
estimate has two elements. The 
total amount of retail manager and 
Set Up team member 
underpayments is lower than 
initially estimated. Offsetting this 
decrease is the identification of 
additional team members also 
impacted by overtime 
underpayments. Costs to execute 
the remediation of $6.8 million after 
tax have been incurred in the 
period. Ongoing remediation 
execution costs will be expensed as 
incurred.

•  ROC vesting reduces for all years due to lower returns. FY18 ROC drops below the vesting hurdle threshold of 12 per cent. 

•  EPS increases in FY18 to FY20. This is due to the lower base EPS years in FY15 to FY17 which results in higher growth in later 

years.

Remuneration 
Report (Audited)

Table 7:  Key aspects of the FY20 Scheme 

FOR THE YEAR 
ENDED 27 JUNE 2020

The Group is committed to creating 
a high-performance culture.  

Remuneration and benefits are 
set in the context of an overall 
policy to provide 
market-competitive remuneration 
arrangements that support 
the attraction, development, 
engagement and retention of 
passionate team members. These 
are also aligned with the interests 
of shareholders. 

For FY20, remuneration 
benchmarking for all Executive KMP 
was sourced from Ernst & Young. The 
Board referenced two sets of 
comparator groups to benchmark 
remuneration: 

  Market Capitalisation 

comparator group: S&P/ASX 
200 companies within 50 per 
cent to 200 per cent of Super 
Retail Group’s 12-month 
average market capitalisation; 
and 

  Market Capitalisation and GICS 
comparator group: S&P/ASX 200 
companies within the 
‘Consumer Discretionary Sector’ 
Global Industry Classification 
Standard (GICS). 

TARGET REMUNERATION MIX 

The mix of remuneration between 
fixed and variable components 
is determined with regard to the 
seniority of the role, the 
responsibilities of the role for 
driving business performance, 
developing and implementing 
business strategy, and external 
remuneration practices. 
Figure 1 shows the remuneration 
mix based on the base salary 
package (as at 27 June 2020) and 
the incentives payable, assuming 
maximum STI is received and full 
vesting of the LTI Plan for: 

• 

the Group MD and CEO; and 

VARIABLE OR ‘AT-RISK’ REMUNERATION 

•  other Executive KMP’s.

   LTI 

The remuneration mix for the Group 
MD and CEO and for CFO has 
moved from the prior year as a 
result of the increase in STI target 
with the introduction of deferral.  
This has resulted in a greater 
proportion of reward being at risk. 

The Chief Executive Officer –
Macpac currently participates in  
a cash-based retention scheme, 
agreed at the time of acquisition, 
with vesting dependent on the 
performance of the Macpac 
business.  

BASE SALARY 

Base salary comprises base pay and 
superannuation, and may include 
prescribed non-financial benefits at 
the discretion of the individual 
executive on a salary-sacrifice basis. 
The Group provides superannuation 
contributions in line with statutory 
obligations. 

No guaranteed base salary 
increases are included in any 
Executive KMP’s service contract. 
Approved amendments to base 
salary packages are effective from 
the commencement of the new 
financial year. 

Variable or ‘at-risk’ remuneration 
forms a significant portion of the 
Executive KMP remuneration 
opportunity. The purpose of variable 
remuneration is to focus executives 
on the execution of the Group’s 
strategy and delivery of long-term 
sustainable value. 

The information below provides 
detail of the Group’s short-term and 
long-term incentives. 

SHORT TERM INCENTIVE REWARD 

Consistent with the prior year, the 
FY20 STI Scheme (the scheme) for 
Executive Leadership Team, 
including Executive KMP, is based 
on a balanced scorecard. Taking a 
scorecard approach allows 
Executive performance to be 
assessed in a holistic way for four 
key drivers of performance, which is 
outlined in Table 7. The Human 
Resources and Remuneration 
Committee (the Committee) 
governs the design of the STI 
Scheme, KPI and target setting, and 
the Board holds approval and 
discretion over the outcomes. 

MINIMUM SECURITIES HOLDING POLICY 

Commencing FY15, the Board 
introduced a minimum shareholding 
requirement for NEDs valued at a 
minimum of 100 per cent of one 
year’s pre-tax base fees. The Group 
MD and CEO is to be 150 per cent 
of one year’s pre-tax base salary 
and other Executive KMP are to be 
100 per cent of one year’s pre-tax 
base salary. This is to be achieved 
within five years of the 
commencement of employment. 
This requirement may be extended 
due to reduced vesting. This is to 
further align the interest of NEDs and 
Executive KMP with those of 
shareholders (referenced in Tables 
14 and 16). 

Scheme 

Participation 

Purpose 

STI awards are made under the Super Retail Group Short-Term Incentive Scheme 
(the scheme). 

The scheme allows for the invitation to participate to Executive KMP and other 
executives.  

The scheme rewards a combination of Board approved financial and non- 
financial performance measures that articulate performance expectations at 
both target and over-achievement that are aligned to the execution of the 
Group’s strategy. 

Performance Period 

The performance period is for 12 months ending 27 June 2020. 

Financial Gateway 

A minimum Group PBT of at least 90 per cent of target must be met before any 
short-term incentives are payable. If this level is not reached, the scheme is 
deemed to be discretionary and any payment made to Executive KMP will be at 
the Board’s discretion. 

Performance Targets 

The achievement of individual KPI targets (once the financial gateway has been 
achieved) shall determine the proportion of the potential bonus entitlement that 
will be granted. 

For FY20, the following primary performance goals and weightings were selected. 
These goals are aligned to the Group’s strategic plan.

The significant weighting of financial outcomes, at a minimum of 50 per cent, 
maintains a strong link between actual financial performance and incentive 
paid. 

FY20 Target and Maximum 
Stretch Opportunity 

For the Group MD and CEO and other Executives, the target STI opportunity is 100 
per cent, and the maximum stretch STI opportunity is 150 per cent of target. For 
each measure, a threshold level of performance is set. This level must be met to 
achieve a score. In setting this threshold, consideration is given to prior year 
performance and target.

Use of Discretion 

The Committee, in its advisory role, reviews proposed adjustments to STI 
outcomes and makes recommendations for any changes to performance 
measures, which may only be approved by the Board. The Committee also 
reviews the nature of the adjustments to earnings to assess the impacts (if any) 
on remuneration.  

Governance and Approval 
Process 

The Group MD and CEO’s STI is recommended by the Committee based on his 
balanced scorecard performance and is approved by the Board. 

The amount of STI paid to other Executive KMP is recommended by the Group 
MD and CEO to the Committee based on each executive’s balanced scorecard 
performance and is recommended by the Committee for approval by the 
Board. 

The Board may apply discretion in determining the STI outcomes to ensure they 
are appropriate. By way of illustration, the Board may take into consideration the 
Executive KMP’s alignment to Company values, prudent risk management and 
the Company’s long-term financial soundness. 

Payment Vehicle 

FY20 STI awards are delivered as 80 per cent cash and 20 per cent deferral to 
equity, with 50 per cent to vest in year two and 50 per cent to vest in year three.  
For FY20, there is a higher deferral due to the COVID-19 adjustment. 

Payment Frequency 

STI awards are paid annually. Payments are made in September following the 
end of the performance period.   

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE REWARD 

The Group’s remuneration structure aims to align long-term incentives for Executive KMPs and other executives 
with the delivery of sustainable value to shareholders. The alignment of interests is important in ensuring that 
Executive KMPs and other executives are focused on delivering sustainable returns to shareholders, whilst 
allowing the Group to attract and retain high-calibre executives. The Board has determined that the 
combination of EPS and ROC are appropriate measures of sustainable shareholder returns. 

Table 8:  Key aspects of the LTI Plan 

Plan  

Participation 

LTI Instrument 

LTI awards are granted under the Super Retail Group Employee Performance 
Rights Plan (the plan). 

The plan allows for the annual grant of Performance Rights to Executive KMP and 
other executives. 

Performance rights are granted by the Group for nil consideration. Each 
performance right is a right to receive a fully-paid ordinary share at no cost if 
service-based and performance-based vesting conditions are met. 

Allocation Methodology 

The number of performance rights granted to each Executive KMP is determined 
in accordance with the Executive Remuneration Framework and have a value of 
between 50 per cent and 100 per cent of their base salary package. The 
notional value of performance rights granted to Executive KMP and other 
executives is determined on a face value basis using the volume-weighted 
average price for Super Retail Group shares traded on the ASX over the first five 
trading days from the day following the release of the Group’s results for the 
preceding reporting period. The value of performance rights for grant purposes 
may differ from the accounting valuation shown in the financial statements, 
which considers probability of vesting and other factors. 

Performance Period 

The performance period is three years commencing 1 July in the year the award 
is made. For the FY20 awards, this is the three-year period from 1 July 2019 to 2 
July 2022. 

Performance Hurdles and 
Vesting Schedules 

Equity grants to Executive KMP and other executives are in two equal tranches of 
50 per cent for the three-year compound annual growth rate in normalised EPS 
and 50 per cent for normalised three-year averaged ROC.

Under these performance hurdles, for the plan to achieve 100 per cent vesting, 
the compound EPS growth must be at least 13 per cent and ROC must average 
at least 15 per cent. The normalised EPS measure excludes the value of franking 
credits being generated, which are transferred to shareholders through the 
Group’s fully franked dividend.

PERFORMANCE-BASED RETENTION ARRANGEMENTS FOR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER – MACPAC 

As part of the acquisition of Macpac, an executive retention scheme was established for the Chief Executive 
Officer – Macpac, Mr Brandon. The performance hurdles of the retention scheme align to the five-year business 
strategy disclosed to the market in May 2018.  Note, Mr Brandon does not currently participate in the SRG LTI Plan. 
The retention scheme arrangements for Chief Executive Officer – Macpac are outlined in Table 9.

the normalised EPS CAGR performance hurdle which has an 8 per cent threshold 
and a 13 per cent maximum. 

Each year, the Board reviews any significant items, positive and negative, and 
considers their relevance for the PBT, ROC and EPS results. The Board may include 
or exclude any significant events/items to give a clearer reflection of normalised 
financial performance from one period to the next. Significant events/items are 
considered unusual by their nature and size and/or not in the ordinary course of 
the business, (including prior period store underpayment and remediation costs, 
business restructuring costs and equity accounted losses – refer to note 4b in the 
financial statements for the details).  In addition, the impact of the accounting 
standard AASB16 Leases, which has been applied for the first year in FY20, has 
been excluded as it was not included in the financial targets established for FY20. 

Testing and Time 
Restrictions  

At the end of three financial years, equity grants are tested against the 
performance hurdles set. Awards will only vest once the Board, in its discretion, 
determines that relevant conditions have been satisfied. If the performance 
hurdles are not met at the vesting date, the performance rights will lapse. There is 
no retesting of performance hurdles under the plan. The Board has discretion to 
determine that an Award vests prior to the end of the relevant period and retains 
a discretion to adjust performance related outcomes. 

Dividends and Voting Rights 

Performance rights do not carry voting or dividend rights. 

Hedging Arrangements 

Participating executives are prohibited from entering into any hedging 
arrangements in relation to performance rights. 

Clawback Policy 

Termination Provisions 

There is a Clawback Policy within the plan. The Board may determine any 
treatment in relation to an Award, both vested and unvested, without limitation, 
in certain circumstances such as fraud, dishonesty, or breach of obligations 
(including, without limitation, a material misstatement of financial information). 
The plan document is available on the Group’s website.  

Executive KMP must be employed at the time of vesting to receive the allotment 
of shares. The Board has discretion to amend the employment requirement 
based on the circumstances associated with the Executive KMP and other 
executives leaving. The Board has previously exercised its discretion where an 
employee left due to retirement, retrenchment or redundancy, or termination by 
mutual consent. The employee may, in these circumstances, retain entitlement 
to a portion of the performance rights pro-rated to reflect the period of service 
from the start of the performance period to the date of departure. After the

SECTION 7 
Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration Arrangements 

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ 
REMUNERATION STRUCTURE 

The Group’s remuneration strategy 
is designed to attract and retain 
experienced, qualified Non-
Executive Directors and to 
remunerate appropriately to 
reflect the responsibilities of the 
position. Non-Executive Directors 
receive fees to recognise their 
contribution to the work of the 
Board and the associated 
Committees on which they serve. 

The Nominations Committee 
reviews the level of fees annually. 
Under the current fee framework, 
Non-Executive Directors are 
remunerated by way of a base 
fee, with additional fees paid 
to the Chairs and members 
of Committees; namely, the 
Audit and Risk, and the 
Human Resources and 
Remuneration committees. 
This reflects the additional 
time commitment required 
by the Chairs and members 
of these committees. 

Table 10a:  FY20 

There has not been an increase to 
the base fee for Non-Executive 
Directors since 2018. 

The Board Chair receives an all-
inclusive fee and no other fees (e.g. 
Committee fees) are paid. Fees are 
inclusive of superannuation 
contributions required by the 
Superannuation Guarantee 
legislation.  

Non-Executive Directors do not 
receive any performance-related 
remuneration. Non-Executive 
Directors may opt each year to 
receive a proportion of their 
remuneration in Super Retail Group 
Limited shares, which would be 
acquired on market. Non-Executive 
Directors are not eligible for 
termination payments or to receive 
retirement benefits other than 
superannuation on resignation or 
retirement from the Board. 

Non-Executive Directors’ fees are 
determined within an aggregate 
directors’ fee pool approved by 
shareholders. The fee pool of $1.2 
million per annum was approved at 
the AGM on 23 October 2013.  

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ FEES 

The fees paid to Non-Executive 
Directors are set out in Table 10a  
and are annual fees, inclusive  
of superannuation, unless  
otherwise stated.   

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ POOL 
AND COMMITTEE CHANGES- FY21 

Subject to shareholder approval at 
the 2020 AGM, the fee pool will 
increase to $1.5 million to 
accommodate a new director, 
taking the number of Non-Executive 
Directors from six to seven and to 
support a modest increase in 
Committee Chair and Committee 
member fees commensurate with 
market benchmarking. If approved, 
the increases will be effective from 
the date of the AGM.  For further 
detail, refer to Table 10b. There will 
be no increase to base fees for 
NEDs in FY21.

Remuneration 
Report (Audited)

FOR THE YEAR 
ENDED 27 JUNE 2020

Plan participants may not enter into 
any transaction designed to 
remove the ‘at risk’ aspect of 
performance rights. As at the date 
of this report, there are no 
remaining unissued ordinary shares 
of Super Retail Group Limited under 
Option. 

(B)  LOANS TO KMP AND THEIR RELATED 

PARTIES 

There are no loans to Executive KMP 
and their related parties as at 27 
June 2020 and no loans were made 
during the financial year. 

(C) OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH KMP 

No Executive KMP held positions in 
other companies that transacted 
with the Group in the reporting 
period. Dividends paid to KMP 

as shareholders in the reporting 
period amounted to $17,135,677 
(FY19: $30,133,125). Other payments 
made to Director R A Rowe in the 
form of store lease payments during 
the reporting period amounted to 
$9,611,168 (FY19: $12,087,041). Rent 
payable at year-end was $750,802 
(FY19: nil). Rent on properties are 
deemed to be on an arm’s length 
basis. There were no other

(D) INSURANCE OF OFFICERS 

During the financial year, the Group 
has paid premiums to insure the 
directors, officers, and certain 
managers of the Group as 
permitted by its Constitution and the 
Corporations Act 2001. The policy 
prohibits disclosure of details of the 
insurance cover and the premiums 
paid.   

The liabilities insured are legal costs 
that may be incurred in defending 
civil or criminal proceedings that 
may be brought against the officers 
in their capacity as officers of 
entities in the Group, and any other 
payments arising from liabilities 
incurred by the officers in 
connection with such proceedings, 
other than where such liabilities arise 
out of conduct involving a willful 
breach of duty by the officers or the 
improper use by the officers of their 
position or of information to gain 
advantage for themselves or 
someone else or to cause detriment 
to the Group. It is not possible to 
apportion the premium between 
amounts relating to the insurance 
against legal costs and those 
relating to other liabilities.

SECTION 9 
Remuneration Governance 

FOR THE YEAR 
ENDED 27 JUNE 2020

The Board’s role, as set out in the Board Charter, includes responsibility to approve and oversee the strategic 
direction of the Group, to appoint the Group MD and CEO and to oversee the governance, management and 
performance of the Group. 

The Board is supported through three standing Board Committees, specifically the Audit and Risk Committee; 
Nomination Committee; and Human Resources and Remuneration Committee. 

Each Committee has its own Charter setting out its role and responsibilities, composition, and how it will operate. 

The Audit and Risk Committee will liaise with the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee, as necessary, 
relating to risk, policies and framework relating to KMP remuneration. 

Figure 2: 

Board 

The Board approves company-wide 
remuneration strategy, policy and 
framework to ensure alignment with 
the Group’s business strategy and 
objectives. 

The Board reviews and approves (as 
appropriate) the Human Resources 
and Remuneration Committee 
recommendations. The Board is 
responsible for evaluating the 
performance and determining the 
remuneration of the Group MD and 
CEO and senior executives. 

Human Resources and  
Remuneration Committee 

The Board has delegated responsibility 
to the Human Resources and 
Remuneration Committee to review 
and make recommendations to the 
Board in relation to the overall human 
resources and remuneration practices 
of the Group. This includes, but is not 
limited to, supporting and advising the 
Board in relation to the Group’s 
human resources strategy including 
human resource policies; 
remuneration policies; health and 
safety; talent management; and 
otherwise assisting the Board to 
comply with legal and statutory 
requirements in respect of human 
resources and remuneration matters. 

Remuneration Advisors 

The Committee operates 
independently of senior executives 
and engages directly with 
remuneration advisors. The 
requirements for external advisors’ 
services are assessed annually in the 
context of remuneration matters that 
the Committee is required to address. 
During FY20, external advice was 
received from Ernst & Young related to 
items including market remuneration 
benchmarking and market 
remuneration practices for 
remuneration structures. 

The Corporate Governance Statement (available on the Group’s website at 
https://www.superretailgroup.com.au/investors-and-media/corporate-governance/) provides further information 
about the role of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee. The membership of the Committee is 
noted in Section 1 of the Directors’ report, as is the number of meetings and individual attendance during the 
period ended 27 June 2020. 

GENDER PAY EQUITY 

The Group is committed to remunerating all team members fairly and equitably. In recognition of our commitment 
to gender equality, the Group received the 2019-20 Employer of Choice for Gender Equality (EOCGE) citation from 
the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA), the first and only retail business in Australia to be recognised for a 
citation in the six-year history of EOCGE. 

In support of gender pay equity, the Group conducts annual gender pay equity reviews. The 2020 review identified 
a small gender pay gap at an organisation-wide level. This is being addressed at the divisional level. In addition, the 
organisation is monitoring recruitment, performance and reward processes to ensure we deliver on our 
commitment to provide equitable, fair and consistent pay arrangements to team members.

registered office and principal place of business is 6 Coulthards Avenue, Strathpine, Queensland. 

The consolidated annual financial report of the Company as at and for the period ended 27 June 2020 comprises: the Company and 
its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group, and individually as Group entities). 

The Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in the retail industry.  Principal activities of the Group consist of: 
 
 
 

retailing of auto parts and accessories, tools and equipment; 
retailing of boating, camping, outdoor equipment, fishing equipment and apparel; and

2. 

Summary of significant accounting policies 

This section sets out the principal accounting policies upon which the Group’s consolidated financial statements are prepared as a 
whole.  Specific accounting policies are described in their respective Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  These policies 
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

(a) 

Basis of preparation 

Statement of compliance 
This  general  purpose  financial  report  has  been  prepared  in  accordance with  Australian  Accounting  Standards,  other  authoritative 
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.  

The  consolidated  financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes  of  Super  Retail  Group  Limited  comply with  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.   

Basis of measurement 
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated. 

(b) 

Principles of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Super Retail Group Limited as at 
27 June 2020 and the results of its controlled entities for the period then ended.  The effects of all transactions between entities in the 
consolidated entity are fully eliminated.   

Transactions eliminated on consolidation 

(i) 
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated 
in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to 
the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 

Subsidiaries 

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

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  Group  companies  are  eliminated.    Unrealised 
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.  Accounting policies of 
subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, statement 
of comprehensive income, balance sheet and statement of changes in equity respectively. 

Business combinations 

(iii) 
The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  all  business  combinations  (refer  Note  23  -  Business  combinations), 
regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.  The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary 
comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group.  The consideration 
transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest 
in the subsidiary.  Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.  Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities 
assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values as at the acquisition date.  On an 
acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any  non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair  value or  at the non-
controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets. 

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair 
value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired is 
recorded as goodwill.  If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the 
measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

Financial year 

As allowed under Section 323D(2) of the Corporations Act 2001, the Directors have determined the financial year to be a fixed period 
of 52 calendar or 53 calendar weeks.  For the period to 27 June 2020, the Group is reporting on the 52 week period that began 30 
June 2019 and ended 27 June 2020.  For the period to 29 June 2019, the Group is reporting on the 52 week period that began 1 July 
2018 and ended 29 June 2019. 

(g) 

New and amended standards adopted by the Group 

The  following  new  accounting  standards  and  amendments  to  accounting  standards  became applicable  in  the  current  reporting 
period: 

AASB 16 Leases 

The Group had to change its accounting policies and make retrospective adjustments as at 29 June 2019 as a result of adopting AASB 
16 Leases.  The impact of adoption of the leasing standard and the new accounting policies are disclosed in Note 34 – Changes in 
Accounting Policies. 

(h) 

Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the Group 

Certain  new  accounting  standards  and  interpretations  have  been  published  that  are  not  mandatory  for  27  June  2020  reporting 
periods and have not been early adopted by the Group and are listed below.  These standards are not expected to have a material 
impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

Estimates  and  judgements  are  continually  evaluated  and  are  based  on  historical  experience  and  other  factors,  including 
expectations  of  future events  that  may  have  a  financial impact  on  the entity  and  that  are  believed  to be  reasonable under  the 
circumstances. 

(a) 

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions 

The Group makes estimates and  assumptions concerning the future.  The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,  seldom 
equal the related actual results.  The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are included in the following Notes to the consolidated financial 
statements:

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when a group entity sells a product to the customer.  

Sale of goods – retail 
Payment of the transaction price is due immediately when the customer purchases products and takes delivery in store. It is the 
Group’s policy to sell its products to the end customer with a right of return. Therefore, a refund liability (included in trade and 
other payables) and a right to the returned goods (included in other current assets) are recognised for the products expected to 
be returned. Accumulated experience is used  to estimate such  returns at  the time of sale at a  portfolio level (expected value 
method). Because the number of products returned has been steady for years, it is highly probable that a significant reversal in 
the  cumulative  revenue  recognised  will  not  occur.  The  validity  of  this  assumption  and  the  estimated  amount  of  returns  are 
reassessed at each reporting date.  

The group’s obligation to repair or replace faulty products under standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.  

Interest income 
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.  When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying 
amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the 
instrument.  Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate. 

Segment reporting 
Operating  segments are reported in a manner  consistent with the internal reporting provided  to the Group Managing  Director 
and Chief Executive Officer, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.  
Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Support Office, Support Office expenses, and income tax assets 
and liabilities).

Significant Accounting Policies 

Depreciation, amortisation and impairment 
Refer to Notes 9 and 10 for details on depreciation, amortisation and impairment. 

Finance costs 
Finance costs are recognised in the period in which these are incurred and are expensed in the period to which the costs relate.  
Generally costs such as discounts and premiums incurred in raising borrowings are amortised on an effective yield basis over the 
period of the borrowing.  Finance costs include: 
 
  amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings; 
  amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings;  
 
 

interest on bank overdrafts and short-term and long-term borrowings; 

finance lease charges; and 
interest revenue. 

Employee benefits 
Refer to Note 15 for details on employee provisions and superannuation. 

Leases 
As explained in Note 2(g), the Group has changed its accounting policy for leases where the Group is the lessee. The new policy 
is described in Note 11 and the impact of the change in Note 34.  

Until 29 June 2019, Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership were retained by the lessor were 
classified  as  operating  leases.  Payments  made  under  operating  leases  (net  of  any  incentives  received  from  the  lessor)  were 
charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses 
Refer to Note 2 (c) for details on foreign exchange gains and losses. 

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

Significant Accounting Policies 

Trade receivables 
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They 
are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially 
at  the  amount  of  consideration  that  is  unconditional  unless  they  contain  significant  financing  components,  when  they  are 
recognised  at  fair  value.  The  Group  holds  the  trade  receivables  with  the  objective  to  collect  the  contractual  cash  flows  and 
therefore  measures  them  subsequently  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method.  Details  about  the  Group’s 
impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are provided in Note 16.  

The  Group  applies  the  AASB  9  simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected  credit  losses  which  uses  a  lifetime  expected  loss 
allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.  

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk 
characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have substantially the same risk 
characteristics as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts. The Group has therefore concluded that the expected 
loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets.  

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 24 months and the corresponding historical 
credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information 
on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Group has identified the GDP and 
the unemployment rate of the countries in which it sells its goods and services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly 
adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.  

On that basis, the loss allowance as at period end was determined for trade receivables to be minor.

Write-downs of inventories to net realisable value recognised as an expense during the period ended 27 June 2020 amounted to $10.2 
million (2019: $1.0 million). 

Significant Accounting Policies 

Inventories 
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.  Costs comprise direct purchase costs and an appropriate 
proportion of supply  chain  variable and fixed  overhead expenditure in bringing  them to their existing location and  condition.  
Costs are assigned to individual items of stock on the basis of weighted average costs. 

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions 

Net realisable value 
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the 
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

assets are presented as a separate line item in the balance sheet – refer Note 11 – Leases.  Refer to Note 34 for details about the 
change in accounting policy. 

Make-good assets 

As at 29 June 2019, the carrying value of make-good assets was $4.3 million.  From 30 June 2019, make-good assets are presented as 
part of the right-of-use asset under the new lease accounting standard AASB 16 Leases.  Refer to Note 34 for details about the change 
in accounting policy. 

Fitout contributions 

As at 30 June 2019, $13.1 million of fitout contributions have been presented as part of Property, Plant and Equipment on adoption of 
the new lease accounting standard. 

Significant Accounting Policies 

Carrying value 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less any accumulated depreciation or amortisation. Historical costs 
include expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured 
reliably.  All repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial year in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation and amortisation of property, plant and equipment 
Depreciation and amortisation are calculated on a straight line basis for accounting and on a diminishing value basis for tax.  
Depreciation and amortisation allocates the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment net of residual values over the 
expected useful life of each asset to the consolidated entity.  Estimates of remaining useful lives and residual values are reviewed 
and adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date.   

The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are: 

Plant and equipment 

7.5% – 37.5% 

Capitalised leased plant and equipment 

10% – 37.5% 

Motor vehicles 

Computer equipment 

25% 

20% – 37.5% 

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than 
its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains and losses 
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount.  These are included in the income 
statement.  When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those 
assets to retained earnings. 

Make-good requirements in relation to leased premises 
Make-good costs arising from contractual obligations in lease agreements are recognised as provisions at the inception of the 
agreement.  Until 29 June 2019, a corresponding asset was taken up in property, plant and equipment at that time.  Expected 
future payments are discounted using appropriate market yields at reporting date.

Intangible assets (continued) 

Significant Accounting Policies 

Goodwill 
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets 
of  the  acquired  subsidiary  or  business  at  the  date  of  the  acquisition.    Goodwill  on  acquisitions  of  subsidiaries  is  included  in 
intangible assets.  Goodwill is not amortised.  Instead, it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes 
in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.  Any impairment 
is recognised as an expense and is not subsequently reversed. 

Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. 

Goodwill  is  allocated  to  cash-generating  units  for  the  purpose  of  impairment  testing.    The  allocation  is  made  to  those  cash-
generating units or  groups  of  cash-generating units  that are expected  to  benefit  from  the  business  combination in which  the 
goodwill arose, identified according to operating segments. 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives 
Separately  acquired  trademarks  and  licences  are  shown  at  historical  cost.  Trademarks  and  licences  acquired  in  a  business 
combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Trademarks are amortised over their useful lives. 

Other intangible assets 
Amortisation  is  calculated  on  a  straight  line  basis.    Estimates  of  remaining  useful  lives  and  residual  values  are  reviewed  and 
adjusted, if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date.  The amortisation rates used for each class of intangible 
assets are as follows: 

A terminal growth rate decrease from 2.5 per cent to 2.3 per cent would could cause the carrying amount of the Macpac CGU to

amounts. 

Computer software 
Costs incurred in developing products or systems and  costs incurred in acquiring software and licences that will  contribute  to 
future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are capitalised to software and systems.  Costs 
capitalised  include  external  direct  costs  of  materials  and  service,  employee  costs  and  an  appropriate  portion  of  relevant 
overheads.    IT  development  costs  include  only  those  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  development  phase  and  are  only 
recognised following completion of technical feasibility and where the Group has an intention and ability to use the asset. 

Brand names 
Brand names that are acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill.  These assets are 
carried at their fair value at the date of acquisition less impairment losses.  Brand names are valued using the relief from royalty 
method.  Brand names are determined to have indefinite useful lives and therefore do not attract amortisation. 

Research and development 
Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred.  Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design 
and  testing  of  new  or  improved  products)  are  recognised  as  intangible  assets when  it  is  probable  that  the  project  will,  after 
considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its costs can be 
measured  reliably.    The  expenditure  capitalised  comprises  all  directly  attributable  costs,  including  costs  of  materials,  services, 
direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads.  Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are 
recognised as an expense as incurred.  Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset 
in a subsequent period.  Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which 
the asset is ready for use. 

Other items of expenditure 
Significant items of expenditure, such as costs incurred in store set-ups, are expensed in the financial year in which these costs are 
incurred. 

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions 

Capitalised software costs and useful lives 
The Group has undertaken significant development of software in relation to the multi-channel customer programme and mutli-
channel supply chain and inventory programme.  The useful lives have been determined based on the intended period of use 
of this software. 

Estimated impairment of indefinite useful life non-financial assets 
The Group tests annually whether indefinite useful life non-financial assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the 
accounting  policy  stated  above.    The  recoverable  amounts  of  cash-generating  units  have  been  determined  based  on 
value-in-use calculations.  These calculations require the use of assumptions.  Refer above for details of these assumptions.

The  Group  has  adopted  the  practical  expedient  in  paragraph  46A  of  AASB  16  Leases  and  elected  not  to  account  for  any  rent 
concessions granted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as a lease modification.  The amount recognised in profit or loss due to 
changes in lease payments arising from such concessions was $2.4 million. 

Significant Accounting Policies 

Leases 
The Group leases various offices, warehouses, retail stores, equipment and cars.  Rental contracts are typically made for fixed 
periods of 1 to 20 years but may have extension options as described below.  Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis 
and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions.  The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased 
assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes. 

Until 29 June 2019, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance or operating leases.  Payments made 
under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over 
the period of the lease. 

From 30 June 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased 
asset is available for use by the Group.  Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost.  The finance cost 
is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance 
of the liability for each period.  The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term 
on a straight-line basis. 

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis.  Lease liabilities include the net present 
value of the following lease payments: 
 
 
 
 
 

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable 
variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate 
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees 
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and 
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option. 

11. 

Leases (continued) 

Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Leases (continued) 
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease.  If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s 
incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an 
asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. 
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: 
 
 
 
 

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability 
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received 
any initial direct costs, and 
restoration costs. 

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense 
in profit or loss.  Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.  Low-value assets comprise small items of office 
equipment and furniture, and other immaterial assets. 

Extension  and  termination  options  are  included  in  a  number  of  property  leases  across  the  Group.    These  terms  are  used  to 
maximise  operational  flexibility  in  terms  of  managing  contracts.    The  majority  of  extension  and  termination  options  held  are 
exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor. 

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions 

Variable lease payments 
Some property leases contain variable payment terms that are linked to sales generated from a store.  For individual stores, up 
to 100% of lease payments are on the basis of variable payment terms and there is a wide range of sales percentages applied.  
Variable payment terms are used for a variety of reasons, including minimising the fixed costs base for newly established stores.  
Variable lease payments that depend on sales are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the condition that triggers 
those payments occurs. 

Extension and termination options 
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise 
an extension option, or not exercise a termination option.  Extension options (or periods after termination options) are included in 
the lease term only if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). 

Given the uncertainties that exist within the retail market, management considers leases with more than 2 years to expiry as not 
reasonably  certain  to  be  extended.   Of  the  Group’s lease  portfolio  65% of leases  contain  option  renewals.   The lease  liability 
currently includes extension options in the calculation of lease term for 14% of leases with those options. 

The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment 
and that is within the control of the lessee.

Tax transparency report 

In May 2016, the government announced the release of the Board of Taxation’s final report on the voluntary Tax Transparency Code.  
The aim of the Code is to provide a mechanism by which medium and large companies can be held accountable for their Australian 
tax affairs, and to give stakeholders confidence that companies are compliant with their statutory obligations.  

Currently the Code is voluntary.  Super Retail Group supports the concept of voluntary tax transparency as an important measure for 
all large companies to provide assurance to the Australian community that their tax obligations are being met.  We know that Super 
Retail Group’s  success  is  dependent  on  the wellbeing of  the economies  and  communities  where  our  businesses  operate  and  our 
conservative approach to tax strategy is one of the many ways we act to ensure sustainability of our operations.  We are pleased to 
disclose our taxes paid in Australia and to detail our approach to tax planning for the first time.  

The requirements of the Code are broken into Part A which forms part of the tax note as referenced below and Part B as disclosed 
below.  The make-up of the respective parts is as follows:   

(i)  
 
 
 

(ii)  
 
 
 

Part A: 

Effective company tax rates for our Australian and global operations (Note 14 (b)) 
A reconciliation of accounting profit to tax expense and to income tax payable (Note 14 (c)) 
Identification of material temporary (Note 14 (c)) and non-temporary differences (Note 14 (b)) 

Part B: 

Tax policy, tax strategy and governance  
Information about international related party dealings  
A tax contribution summary of income tax paid  

Part B discloses the Australian income tax paid by the Group in the 2020 and 2019 financial years and provides qualitative information 
about our approach to tax risk and international related party dealings. 

Tax policy, tax strategy and governance  
Super Retail Group is committed to full compliance with its statutory obligations and takes a conservative approach to tax risk.  The 
Group’s Tax Policy includes an internal escalation process for referring tax matters to the corporate Group Tax function.  The CFO must 
report any material tax issues to the Board.  Tax strategy is implemented through Super Retail Group’s Tax Governance Policy.  The 
Group’s approach to tax planning is to operate and pay tax in accordance with the tax law in each relevant jurisdiction.  The Group 
aims for certainty on all tax positions it adopts.  Where the tax law is unclear or subject to interpretation, advice is obtained, and when 
necessary the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) (or other relevant tax authority) is consulted for clarity.  

International related party dealings  
Super Retail Group is an Australian based group, with some trading operations in other countries, including New Zealand (Supercheap 
Auto (SCA) and Macpac) and China (Sourcing assistance).  Given its current profile, the Group has very limited international related 
party dealings.  Super Retail Group always seeks to price international related party dealings on an arm’s length basis to meet the 
regulatory requirements of the relevant jurisdictions.  

The Group’s international related party dealings are summarised below: 

 

 

 

 

The Group’s Australian retail businesses source material amounts of trading stock from overseas, particularly through Asian based 
third-party suppliers.  To facilitate this, the Group has a Chinese based subsidiary that co-ordinates these supplies.  Super Retail 
Group’s Australian businesses pay the overseas subsidiaries for these services. 

The  Group  SCA  and  Macpac  retail businesses operate  across  Australia and New  Zealand.   To  meet  customer  demand  and 
manage stock levels, trading stock is occasionally transferred between jurisdictions, for which arm’s length consideration is paid 
by the recipient of the trading stock.   

Certain  Group  businesses  operating  outside  of  Australia  are  utilising  intellectual  property  developed  by  Super  Retail  Group 
businesses in Australia.  Where appropriate, and as required by international cross border tax rules, a royalty payment is made 
by the off-shore subsidiary to the relevant Group business in Australia. 

Various  administrative  and  support  services  are  provided  by  Group  head  office  and  divisional  parent  entities  to  offshore 
subsidiary businesses. As required by international cross border tax rules, arm’s length consideration is paid for these services.

Fair value hierarchy  

(i)   
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised 
and measured at fair value in the financial statements.  To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining 
fair  value,  the  Group  has  classified  its  financial  instruments  into  the  three  levels  prescribed  under  the  accounting  standards.    An 
explanation of each level follows underneath the table. 

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the balance sheet date. 

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to 
their short-term nature.  The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual 
cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) 

Significant Accounting Policies 

Financial assets classification 
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: 
 

those to  be measured subsequently at fair value (either  through Other  Comprehensive Income (OCI)  or  through profit  or 
loss), and 
those to be measured at amortised cost. 

 

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash 
flows. 

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments 
that  are  not  held  for  trading,  this  will  depend  on  whether  the  Group  has  made  an  irrevocable  election  at  the  time  of  initial 
recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).  

The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.  

Recognition and derecognition  
Regular way purchases  and  sales  of  financial  assets  are  recognised  on  trade-date,  the  date on which  the  Group  commits  to 
purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have 
expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.  

Measurement  
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value 
through  profit or loss (FVPL),  transaction costs  that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction 
costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.  

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely 
payment of principal and interest.  

Debt instruments  
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow 
characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:  

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of 
principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income 
using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Any  gain  or  loss  arising  on  derecognition  is  recognised  directly  in  profit  or  loss  and 
presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate 
line item in the statement of profit or loss.  

FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows 
represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through 
OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are 
recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is 
reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included 
in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) 
and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.  

FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment 
that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in 
which it arises.  

Equity instruments  
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management have elected to present 
fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to 
profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or 
loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.  

Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  financial  assets  at  FVPL  are  recognised  in  other  gains/(losses)  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  as 
applicable.  Impairment  losses  (and  reversal  of  impairment  losses)  on  equity  investments  measured  at  FVOCI  are  not  reported 
separately from other changes in fair value.

Earnings per share (continued) 

Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Impairment 
The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised 
cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. 

For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to 
be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. 

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities 
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured 
to their fair value.   The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss  depends on whether the  derivative is designated as a 
hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.  The Group designates certain derivatives as either: hedges 
of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or hedges of highly probable forecast 
transactions (cash flow hedges). 

The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items as 
well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.  The Group also documents its 
assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions 
have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. 

Cash flow hedges 
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised 
in  equity  in  the  hedging  reserve.    The  gain  or  loss  relating  to  the  ineffective  portion  is  recognised  immediately  in  the  income 
statement. 

Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the income statement in the income periods when the hedged item will affect 
profit or loss (for instance when the forecast payment that is hedged takes place). However, when the forecast transaction that 
is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory) or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses 
previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the measurement of the initial cost  or carrying amount 
of the asset or liability. 

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, 
any  cumulative  gain  or loss  existing in  equity  at  the  time  remains in equity  and  is  recognised when  the  forecast  transaction  is 
ultimately recognised in the income statement.  When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain 
or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement. 

Net investment hedges 
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges.   

Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in equity.  The gain or loss 
relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement within other income or other expenses.   

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting 
Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting.  Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that 
does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the income statement.

Significant Accounting Policies 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: 
 
the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, 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 year and excluding treasury shares. 

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.

On 15 June 2020, the Group announced an underwritten 1 for 7 accelerated pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer to raise 
equity of approximately $202.9 million at a fixed price of $7.19 per share.  The equity raising comprised an institutional entitlement offer 
which settled on 24 June 2020 and a retail entitlement offer which settled on 9 July 2020, subsequent to the end of the financial year.  
The issue of shares represent fully paid ordinary shares in Super Retail Group Limited. 

Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.   

The ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in proportion to 
the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. 

Gains and losses accumulated in equity are included in the income statement when the foreign operation is partially disposed of 
or sold.

rights vesting during the period.  Under the share option plan, no ordinary shares were issued during the period (2019: nil).  Information 
relating to performance rights and options outstanding at the end of the financial year are set out in Note 29 – Share-based payments. 

Dividend reinvestment plan 
The Company has established a dividend reinvestment plan under which holders of ordinary shares may elect to have all or part of 
their dividend entitlements satisfied by shares purchased on market rather than by being paid in cash. 

Significant Accounting Policies 

Contributed equity 
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.  Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, 
or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. 

Nature and purpose of reserves 

(ii) 
Hedging reserve - cash flow hedges 
The hedging reserve is used to record gains or losses on a hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge that are recognised directly in 
equity, as described in Note 16 – Financial assets and financial liabilities.  Amounts are recognised in profit and loss when the associated 
hedged transaction affects profit and loss.   

Share-based payments reserve 
The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the grant date fair value of options and performance rights issued. 

Foreign currency translation reserve 
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve, as 
described in Note 2(c).  The reserve is recognised in profit and loss when the net investment is disposed of. 

NCI equity reserve 
The NCI equity reserve is used to recognise the change in ownership interest in controlled entities.

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency 
that is not the entity’s functional currency. 

The Group’s risk management policy is to hedge between 50 per cent and 75 per cent of anticipated foreign currency purchases for 
the subsequent 4 months and up to 50 per cent of anticipated foreign currency purchases for the following 5 to 12 month period. 

Instruments used by the Group 
The economic entity retails products including some that have been imported from Asia, with contract pricing denominated in USD.  
In order to protect against  exchange rate movements, the economic entity has entered into forward exchange rate contracts to 
purchase USD.  The contracts are timed to mature in line with forecast payments for imports and cover forecast purchases for the 
subsequent twelve months, on a rolling basis.  The Group does not currently enter into forward exchange rate contracts to purchase 
CNY. 

Exposure 
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period was as follows:

The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in equity.  
When the cash flows occur, the Group adjusts the initial measurement of the component recognised in the consolidated balance 
sheet by the related amount deferred in equity.  In the year ended 27 June 2020, no hedges were designated as ineffective (2019: 
nil). 

Gains and losses arising from hedging contracts terminated prior to maturity are also carried forward until the designated hedged 
transaction occurs. 

The following gains, losses and costs have been deferred as at the balance date:

Group sensitivity 
Based on the financial instruments held at 27 June 2020, had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10 per cent against 
other currencies with all other variables held constant, the impact on the Group’s post-tax profit would have been nil, on the basis 
that  the  financial  instruments  would  have  been  designated  as  cash  flow  hedges  and  the  impact  upon  the  foreign  exchange 
movements of other financial assets and liabilities is negligible. 

Equity would have been $8.1 million lower/$9.9 million higher (2019: $8.3 million lower/$10.2 million higher) had the Australian dollar 
weakened/strengthened by 10 per cent against other currencies, arising mainly from forward foreign exchange contracts designated 
as cash flow hedges.  The impact on other Group assets and liabilities as a result of movements in exchange rates is not material. 

A sensitivity of 10 per cent was selected following review of historic trends. 

(ii)          Cashflow and fair value interest rate risk 

Instruments used by the Group - interest rate swap contracts 
An assessment of the forecast core debt requirements subsequent to the equity raising announced on 15 June 2020 indicated that 
core debt was minimal.  In accordance with the treasury policy, all interest rate swaps were terminated prior to the end of the financial 
year.  Therefore future interest expense will be subject to variable rates.   

At the prior period end, the Group was a party to multiple interest rate swaps for a total nominal value of $215.0 million.  These swaps 
on the prior debt balance covered approximately 55.1 per cent of the loan principal outstanding.  The average fixed interest rate 
was 2.36 per cent.

Group sensitivity 
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings.  Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow 
interest rate risk.  Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.  During the 2020 and 2019 financial 
years, the Group’s borrowings were at variable rates and were denominated in Australian dollars. 

As at the reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap contracts outstanding: 

Bank overdrafts and bank loans 

Interest rate swaps 

An analysis by maturities is provided in (d) below.

$m 

390.0 

215.0 

The Group risk management policy is to maintain fixed interest rate hedges of approximately 40 per cent of anticipated core debt 
levels over a 3 year period.  The Group utilises interest rate swaps to hedge its interest rate exposure on borrowings but as disclosed 
above all interest rate swaps were terminated prior to the end of the financial year as core debt was significantly reduced. 

As at 27 June 2020, if interest rates had changed by +/- 100 basis points from the year-end rates with all other variables held constant, 
post-tax profit and equity for the year would have been $1.7 million lower/higher (2019: $1.2 million lower/higher), mainly as a result of 
higher/lower interest expense on bank loans. 

(c)          Credit risk 

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, favourable derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial 
institutions,  as  well  as  credit  exposures  to  wholesale  and  retail  customers,  including  outstanding  receivables  and  committed 
transactions. 

(i)            Risk management 
Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating 
of ‘A’ are accepted.  

If  wholesale  customers  are  independently  rated,  these  ratings  are  used.  Otherwise,  if  there  is  no  independent  rating,  risk  control 
assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk 
limits  are  set based  on  internal  or  external  ratings in accordance with limits  set  by  the  Board.  The  compliance with  credit  limits  by 
wholesale customers is regularly monitored by management.

Parent entity financial information 
The  financial  information  for  the  parent  entity,  Super  Retail  Group  Limited  has  been  prepared  on  the  same  basis  as  the 
consolidated financial statements, except as set out below. 

Investments in subsidiaries  
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Super Retail Group Limited. 

Tax consolidation legislation 
Super Retail Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. 

The head entity, Super Retail Group Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for current and 
deferred  tax amounts under the Separate taxpayer within Group approach in accordance with AASB Interpretation 1052, Tax 
Consolidation Accounting.  

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Super Retail Group Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or 
assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the 
tax consolidated group. 

The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Super Retail 
Group  Limited  for any  current tax  payable  assumed  and  are  compensated  by  Super  Retail  Group  Limited  for  any  current  tax 
receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Super Retail Group 
Limited under the tax consolidation legislation.  The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in 
the wholly-owned entities’ financial statements.  

The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head 
entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year.  The head entity may also require payment of 
interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. 

Assets  or  liabilities  arising  under  tax  funding  agreements  with  the  tax  consolidated  entities  are  recognised  as  current  amounts 
receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group.  Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable 
or  payable  under  the  tax  funding  agreement  are  recognised  as  a  contribution  to  (or  distribution  from)  wholly-owned  tax 
consolidated entities. 

Financial guarantees 
Where the parent entity has provided financial guarantees in relation to loans and payables of subsidiaries for no compensation, 
the fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

motivation of executives of Super Retail Group (Participants).  It is intended that the Performance Rights will enable the Company to 
retain and attract skilled and experienced executives and provide them with the motivation to enhance the success of the Company. 

Under the Performance Rights, rights may be offered to Participants selected by the Board.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board, 
no payment is required for the grant of rights under the plan.   

Subject to any adjustment in the event of a bonus issue, each right is an option to subscribe for one share.  Upon the exercise of a 
right by a Participant, each Share issued will rank equally with other Shares of the Company. 

Performance Rights issued under the plan may not be transferred unless approved by the Board.  The table below summarises rights 
granted under the plan.

Remuneration of auditors (continued) 

The Group’s auditor is PricewaterhouseCoopers.  The Group may employ PricewaterhouseCoopers on assignments additional to their 
statutory audit duties where PricewaterhouseCoopers’ expertise and experience with the Group are important.  These assignments 
are principally tax advice and due diligence reporting on acquisitions, or where the auditor is awarded assignments on a competitive 
basis.  It is the Group’s policy to seek competitive tenders for all major consulting projects.  The Board has considered the non-audit 
services provided during the year by the auditor, and in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the Audit and Risk 
Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not 
compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. 

The fair value of performance rights granted under the plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding 
increase in equity.  The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become 
unconditionally entitled to the performance rights. 

31. 

Contingencies 

2020 

$m 

2019 

$m 

For performance rights, the fair value at grant date is determined using a binomial option pricing model that takes into account 
the  exercise  price,  the  term  of  the  performance  rights,  the  vesting  and  performance  criteria,  the  impact  of  dilution,  the  non-
tradeable nature of the performance rights, 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 performance rights. 

The  fair  value  of  the  performance  rights  granted  excludes  the  impact  of  any  non-market  vesting  conditions  (for  example, 
profitability  and  sales  growth  targets).    Non-market  vesting  conditions  are  included  in  assumptions  about  the  number  of 
performance rights that are expected to become exercisable.  At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimate of the 
number of performance rights that are expected to become exercisable.  The employee benefit expense recognised each period 
takes into account the most recent estimate. 

Guarantees 
Guarantees issued by the bankers of the Group in support of various rental  
arrangements.  

The maximum future rental payments guaranteed amount to:

5.2 

Other Contingencies 
The Group continues to work with the Fair Work Ombudsman as the underpayment of retail team members is remediated.  This may 
result in regulator undertakings and further amounts becoming payable at the direction of the regulator.  Future professional advisory 
fees will be incurred to finalise remediation outcomes. 

Upon exercise of the performance rights, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those performance rights 
remains in the share-based payments reserve. 

From time to time the Group is subject to legal claims as a result of its operations.  An immaterial contingent liability may exist for any 
exposure over and above current provisioning levels.

Events occurring after balance date 

On 15 June 2020, the Group announced an underwritten 1 for 7 accelerated pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer to raise 
equity of approximately $202.9 million at a fixed price of $7.19 per share.  The equity raising comprised an institutional entitlement offer 
which settled on 24 June 2020 and a retail entitlement offer which settled on 9 July 2020.  As a result of the retail entitlement 6,073,995 
new shares were issued on 10 July 2020 for proceeds of $43.6 million.  The total number of ordinary shares after the equity raising was 
225,771,702. 

On 7 August 2020, the Group cancelled its bilateral liquidity facility with ANZ for $100 million as it had been fully repaid on 1 June 2020 
and was surplus to requirements (refer Note 21 (d) – Financial risk management).

Changes in accounting policy 

This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the Group’s financial statements and discloses the new accounting 
policies that have been applied from 30 June 2019. 

The Group has adopted AASB 16 Leases retrospectively from 30 June 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 29 June 2019 
reporting  period,  as  permitted  under  the  specific  transitional provisions  in  the  standard.    The  reclassifications  and  the  adjustments 
arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 30 June 2019. 

(a) 

Adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16 Leases 

On adoption  of AASB 16 Leases, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 
operating leases’ under the principles of AASB 117 Leases.  These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease 
payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as at 30 June 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental 
borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 30 June 2019 was 4.2 per cent. 

For  leases  previously  classified  as  finance  leases  the  entity  recognised  the  carrying  amount  of  the  lease  asset  and  lease  liability 
immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application.  
The  measurement  principles  of  AASB  16  Leases  are  applied  only  after  that  date.    No  measurement  adjustments  were  required 
immediately after the date of initial application. 

Operating lease commitments disclosed as at 29 June 2019 

Less: leases not yet commenced 

Less: discounting using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application 

Less: short-term leases recognised on a straight-line basis as expense 

Less: low-value leases recognised on a straight-line basis as expense 

Add: fitout contributions presented in property, plant and equipment 

Add: adjustments as a result of a different treatment of extension options 

Add: finance lease liabilities recognised as at 29 June 2019

The associated right-of-use assets for certain property leases were measured on a retrospective basis as if the new rules had always 
been applied.  All other right-of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any 
prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet as at 29 June 2019.  The existence of some 
onerous lease contracts resulted in an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application of $1.6 million. 

Property, plant and equipment – decrease $24.1 million 
Intangibles – decrease $1.4 million 
Right-of-use assets – increase $843.5 million 
Deferred tax assets – increase $14.4 million 
Prepayments – decrease by $0.7 million 
Straight-line lease adjustment – decrease by $55.4 million 

The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the balance sheet on 30 June 2019: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Onerous lease provision – decrease by $1.6 million 
 
 

Borrowings – decrease by $7.2 million 
Lease liabilities – increase by $930.1 million 

The net impact on retained earnings on 30 June 2019 was a decrease of $34.2 million. 

Earnings per share decreased by 3.0c for the 52 weeks ended 27 June 2020 as a result of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases. 

Applying AASB 16 Leases for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard: 
 
 
 
 
 
 

the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics 
reliance on previous assessments as to whether leases are onerous 
the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 29 June 2019 as short-term leases 
the accounting for operating leases for which the underlying asset is of a low value as low-value leases  
the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application, and 
the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. 

The group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application.  Instead, for 
contracts entered into before the transition date the group  relied on its assessment made applying AASB 117 and Interpretation 4 
Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

Our audit approach 

Key audit matters 

An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from 
material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if 
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the financial report. 

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion 
on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the 
Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our 
audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a 
separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit 
procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the Audit and Risk 
Committee. 

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Carrying value of Goodwill and Brand names 
(Refer to note 10) Goodwill:$526.6m, Brand names: 
$253.3m 

Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash generating 
units (CGUs) which are consistent with the Group’s 
segments.  

During the annual review for impairment, the Group 
determined the recoverable amount for each CGU using 
discounted cash flow valuation models which relied on 
significant assumptions and estimates of future trading 
performance.  

The carrying value of goodwill and brand names was a 
key audit matter due to its size and the judgements 
involved in estimating the cash flow forecasts, including 
consideration of the assumed economic recovery in 
relation to COVID-19 applied to the forecasts.  

Amongst other procedures, we assessed the valuation 
models by: 

●  Developed an understanding of and 

evaluated the Group’s processes and controls 
relating to annual impairment tests of the 
CGUs in light of the requirements of 
Australian Accounting Standards. 
●  Compared actual results with historical 
forecasts to assess the reliability of the 
forecasts used in the cash flow models.   
●  Evaluated how the Group has considered the 
ongoing impact of COVID-19 in the future 
cash flow forecasts.   

●  Together with PwC valuation experts, 

assessed the valuation methodology and 
mathematical accuracy of the models and 
compared the discount rate and growth rate 
assumptions to historical company data and 
market observable inputs. 

●  Evaluated the Group’s assessment that the  
indefinite life assumption for brand names 
remains appropriate at period end. 
●  Evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures 
made in the financial report, in light of the 
requirements of Australian Accounting 
Standards.  

Materiality 

Audit scope 

●  For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group 
materiality of $8.1 million, which represents 
approximately 5% of the Group’s profit before tax 
adjusted for the redundancy costs recorded in the 
current year. 

●  We applied this threshold, together with 

qualitative considerations, to determine the scope 
of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of 
our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of 
misstatements on the financial report as a whole. 

●  We chose the adjusted Group profit before tax 

because, in our view, it is the benchmark against 
which the performance of the Group is most 
commonly measured. We adjusted for redundancy 
costs as they are unusual or infrequently occurring 
items impacting profit and loss.  

●  We utilised a 5% threshold based on our 

professional judgement, noting it is within the 
range of commonly acceptable thresholds.  

●  Our audit focused on where the Group made 

subjective judgements; for example, significant 
accounting estimates involving assumptions and 
inherently uncertain future events. 

●  Our audit procedures in the current year were 
performed at the Brisbane head office and 
included site visits to stores and distribution 
centres in Australia and New Zealand to perform 
audit procedures over inventory. Our team 
included specialists in information technology, 
taxation, payroll and data and experts in 
valuations.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report 

The directors of the Company  are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for 
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes 
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit 
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, 
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the financial report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board website at: 
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of 
our auditor's report.
