CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
The pandemic, and associated restrictions,
saw a continued shift to customers
interacting and purchasing through
digital channels across many sectors.
Our Lotteries and Keno and Wagering and
Media businesses recorded healthy digital
growth, underpinned by some of the recent
investments we have made in digital
capability. We are sharing the benefits of this
with our venue partners through a digital
commissions initiative while continuing to
offer our products through an omni-channel
approach that puts customer choice front
and centre.
Our three-year enterprise-wide optimisation
program, called ‘3S’ (Simpler, Smarter,
Stronger) continued to advance. The
program delivered $30m in EBIT savings in
FY21. Further savings from the 3S program
are expected in FY22.
Dividend and capital
management
Growing returns to shareholders is a core
focus and Tabcorp has announced a final
dividend of 7.0 cents per share fully franked,
bringing the full year dividend to 14.5 cents
per share fully franked, up 31.8% on FY20,
and representing a payout ratio of 80% of
NPAT (before significant items).
During the year we executed a successful
equity raising – involving both institutional
and retail shareholders – with the proceeds
of approximately $600m used to pay down
existing debt facilities, creating a stronger,
more resilient balance sheet in these
challenging times.
We also sold our holding in Jumbo
Interactive Limited, following the extension
of our long-standing commercial distribution
partnership with Jumbo. The sale generated
gross proceeds of $98m. Our gearing ratio
(gross debt to EBITDA) now sits at 2.4 times,
against the target range of 2.5 to 3.0 times.
Strategic review and demerger
The strategic review initiated by the Board in
March 2021 evaluated all relevant structural
and ownership options to maximise value
for shareholders.
As part of the process, the Board engaged
with a number of bidders who had
submitted unsolicited, non-binding and
indicative proposals to acquire our Wagering
and Media business. The Board, together
with its advisers, carefully considered these
proposals. However, at the conclusion of its
review, the Board determined that a
demerger of our Lotteries and Keno
business is the optimal and most certain
path to unlock value for shareholders.
The demerger will create two standalone,
market leading ASX-listed companies with
distinct operating profiles, strategies and
growth opportunities:
• A new listed company that comprises
our Lotteries and Keno business:
Lotteries & KenoCo(iii)
• The existing listed Tabcorp group
continuing to hold the Wagering and
Media and Gaming Services businesses:
Wagering & GamingCo(iii)

Chairman
David Attenborough
Managing Director and
Chief Executive Officer
The 2020/21 financial year (FY21) saw the
COVID-19 pandemic continue to disrupt our
way of life and challenge our businesses.
Tabcorp’s priority has been ensuring the
safety and wellbeing of our people and
supporting our business partners and the
community.
While Tabcorp’s operations were impacted
by various government-imposed lockdowns
and other restrictions, our businesses
proved resilient and delivered a strong
operational result and earnings growth.
Tabcorp’s net profit after tax (NPAT) was
$269m in FY21, after incurring a non-cash
goodwill impairment charge of $122m
relating to the Gaming Services business
and other significant items totalling $8m(i).
Revenues were $5,686m, up 8.8%, and
EBITDA(ii) was $1,107m, up 11.3% on the
prior corresponding period.
Our Lotteries and Keno business produced
a record profit result and continued its
strong growth trajectory since the Tabcorp-
Tatts combination in December 2017.
Pleasingly, we saw improved performance
from Wagering and Media, with growth in its
TAB, Media and International businesses.
Gaming Services, however, was severely
impacted by the COVID-19 restrictions on
hotels and clubs, which limited its ability to
derive fees from these venues.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2021
The two businesses (Lotteries & KenoCo
and Wagering & GamingCo) are expected to
be leaders in their respective markets,
creating great experiences for millions of
customers. They will both build on their
heritage of sharing the benefits of their
commercial success with governments,
the racing industry, licensed venues,
newsagents and other retail and
business partners.
Tabcorp is targeting the completion of the
demerger, via a scheme of arrangement, by
the end of June 2022, subject to all relevant
approvals, including shareholder approval at
an extraordinary general meeting expected
to be held in 2022.
More details will be contained in a scheme

a highly experienced director who brings
deep experience in the gambling and
entertainment industry. She is serving as
an Observer and will join the Board fully

process, overseen by the Nomination
Committee, there were some changes
to the composition of the Tabcorp Board
during FY21.
Paula Dwyer retired as Chairman and from
the Board of Directors at the end of 2020.
Paula was instrumental in making Tabcorp
‘The Trusted Gambling Entertainment
Company’ and led the Board through the
Tabcorp-Tatts combination and successful
integration. We’d like to place on record her
significant contribution to Tabcorp.

Community
Tabcorp is proud of its role as the provider
of Australia’s official lotteries, TAB wagering
and other gambling entertainment products.
In FY21, our businesses generated $4.2b
in taxes, levies and payments to state and
federal governments, the Australian racing
industry, and venue partners such as
newsagents, hotels and clubs. This
underscores the important role
Tabcorp has in the community beyond
the responsible delivery of gambling
entertainment to millions of Australians.
in the office when COVID-19 restrictions
permit, while maintaining the flexibility
of remote working.
In addition, Tabcorp was proud to support
several charitable causes including the
University of Queensland’s research into
vaccines for COVID-19, and strokes and
heart attacks, along with initiatives tackling
cancer and child safety. These initiatives
were financially supported by voluntary
contributions and the proceeds of
unclaimed prize money.
Tabcorp ranked first globally in the Casinos
and Gambling sector in the 2020 Dow Jones
Sustainability Index (DJSI) World and DJSI
Australia Indices. Maintaining strong
sustainability practices has been core to
Tabcorp’s purpose of delivering ‘Excitement
with integrity’. This ethos will move forward
with both new companies if the proposed
demerger goes ahead.
Our people
The whole Tabcorp team has done an
extraordinary job during the pandemic,
showing resilience and flexibility in the
face of rapidly changing restrictions, and
adapting well to new ways of working. They
have continued to serve our customers
safely, working with our venue partners and
the racing industry. We would like to thank
them for their commitment and
professionalism.
Conclusion
As well as managing the ongoing impacts
of COVID-19, our main priority for FY22
will be the successful execution of the
proposed demerger.
We look forward to the prospect of two
companies operating independently,
building on their market leading positions,
and delivering long term growth and
significant value for shareholders. We are
focused on ensuring that the businesses are
well positioned to maintain their momentum
and set up for success into the future.
Finally, we’d like to thank shareholders
for your support during FY21 and we look
forward to updating you on our progress at
Tabcorp’s Annual General Meeting in
October.

We are aiming to recapture the benefits
of collaboration in an office environment

OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW
STRATEGIC REVIEW CONCLUSION AND
INTENTION TO DEMERGE LOTTERIES AND KENO
Tabcorp has announced that it intends to undertake a demerger of its Lotteries and Keno business
The decision to pursue a demerger of the Lotteries and Keno business
(Demerger) follows the conclusion of a comprehensive strategic review
of all relevant structural and ownership options to maximise value for
shareholders, including a demerger, a sale of one or more of Tabcorp’s
businesses and the retention of the status quo with a disciplined approach
to driving growth. The Board carefully considered the unsolicited
proposals received from third parties for the sale of the Wagering
and Media business, and concluded that the Demerger is the optimal,
and most certain, path to maximise the value of both businesses for
Tabcorp shareholders.
The proposed Demerger will create two standalone, market leading
ASX-listed companies with distinct operating profiles, strategies and
growth opportunities. The transaction will allow these two businesses
to operate independently with focused management, optimise their
capital structures and to trade at market values which reflect their
individual characteristics.
Lotteries & KenoCo(i)
Wagering & GamingCo(i)
A new standalone listed company
that comprises the Lotteries & Keno
business.
One of the highest performing
Lotteries businesses globally and
offers infrastructure like qualities,
with low capital intensity and upside
from continuing digital growth.
Chairman designate: Steven Gregg;
CEO designate: Sue van der Merwe.
The existing listed Tabcorp Group
will continue to hold the Wagering
and Media and Gaming Services
businesses.
Has national scale and reach,
a unique omni-channel offering,
organic growth options, and
potential upside from future
domestic structural reform and
further international expansion.
Chairman designate: Bruce Akhurst;
CEO designate: Adam Rytenskild.

The rationale for the Demerger is compelling…
The Demerger is expected to realise significant value for shareholders at a significantly lower level of execution risk compared to a sale of Wagering and Media and Gaming Services.
Creates two market leading businesses with focused management
Shareholders continue to benefit from the increased scale and diversification already
achieved through the combination with Tatts Group
Shareholders retain full upside from potential future regulatory reform and international
expansion opportunities in Wagering and Media
Allows each business to adopt a more focused operating profile and an optimised capital
structure more aligned to its core operations
Shareholders preserve the ability to benefit from participating in future merger and
acquisition activity in respect of both Lotteries & KenoCo and Wagering & GamingCo
Creates access to new and different investor categories with different investment
preferences and environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria
Allows shareholders to value each business on a standalone basis with potential for
market re-rating
…and represents the next phase in the Tabcorp journey
The foundations have been laid for Lotteries & KenoCo and Wagering & GamingCo to deliver long term growth. The Tabcorp and Tatts integration(i) concluded in FY21 and has set up both
businesses to benefit from enhanced scale and diversification.
The proposed Demerger is subject to shareholder, court, regulatory and other approvals. Tabcorp is targeting completion of the Demerger by the end of June 2022. For further information refer
to Tabcorp’s ASX announcements of 5 July 2021.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2021OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW
Review of FY21 results
The financial results for FY21 relate to
the Tabcorp Group’s operations, which
comprise its three businesses of:
• Lotteries and Keno
• Wagering and Media
• Gaming Services
The Group reported FY21 revenues of
$5,686m, up 8.8% on the previous year.
Group NPAT was $269m after incurring
a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of
$122m relating to the Gaming Services
business, and other significant items(i)
totalling $8m. This was up from a net loss
after tax of $870m in the previous year.
Group NPAT excluding significant items(i)
was $399m, up 47.2% on the previous year.
Earnings per share (EPS) before goodwill
impairment was 17.9 cents per share,
up from 10.9 cents per share in the
previous year.
During FY21, and in the face of substantial
ongoing challenges from the COVID-19
pandemic, our businesses delivered a strong
operational performance and revenue
growth of 8.8%. Our teams and business
partners continued to work collaboratively
and our omni-channel business model
ensured our customers could continue
to safely enjoy our gambling entertainment
experiences.
The Group’s FY21 operational performance
and results reflects the strong Lotteries and
Keno result and the improved performance
of the Wagering and Media business during
the course of FY21.
The Lotteries and Keno business produced
another record profit result driven by game
development, active portfolio and sequence
management, and strong digital turnover
growth.
The Wagering and Media business was
impacted heavily by COVID-19 disruptions,
but importantly delivered improved
performance, achieving revenue growth
across its Wagering, Media and International
businesses. Growth was supported by
recent investments in customer experience,
including improvements in data and
personalisation capability, and further
enhancements to our unique digital
in-venue capability.
The Gaming Services business was most
impacted by the COVID-19 related trading
restrictions on hotels and clubs, particularly
in Victoria.
A non-cash goodwill impairment charge of
$122m related to Gaming Services reflects
reduced expectations for future growth and
contract extensions, particularly due to the
ongoing COVID-19 impacts. The business
made good progress in delivering its plan
to simplify and streamline its operations
during the year and this remains a key focus
moving forward.
Refer to pages 12 to 23 for further details
about the performance of each business.
In FY21, Tabcorp’s enterprise-wide
optimisation program, ‘3S’, delivered $30m
in EBIT savings(ii) primarily from improved
reseller agreements (Lotteries and Keno),
agency rationalisation (Wagering and
Media), operating model changes (Wagering
and Media and Gaming Services) and
process simplification and redesign
(Group-wide). Tabcorp is targeting
$20m-$25m of EBIT savings from the
3S program in FY22.
The Tabcorp-Tatts integration was
substantially completed in FY21. Annual
cost synergies totalling $95m of annual
EBITDA savings have been achieved.

(i) Based on drawn facilities (based on available facilities: 3.8%).
(ii) Return on invested capital (ROIC) is an absolute measure, defined as earnings before
interest, tax and significant items (EBIT before significant items), divided by the average
invested capital base. Invested capital base has been adjusted to reflect the goodwill
impairments of FY20 and FY21 as if they had occurred at the beginning of FY20.
In FY21, the Group undertook
numerous actions to preserve
liquidity and mitigate the financial
and earnings impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
In September 2020, the Company
completed a 1-for-11 pro rata
accelerated renounceable
entitlement offer (with retail
entitlements trading) raising gross
proceeds of approximately $600m
which were used to pay down
existing drawn bank debt facilities,
strengthen the Company’s
balance sheet and provide greater
financial flexibility and additional
credit metric headroom for
covenant and rating purposes.
Our target gearing ratio is gross
debt to EBITDA of 2.5 – 3.0
times. As at 30 June 2021, the
Company’s gearing was 2.4 times.
The Company has a strong
balance sheet, as well as available
headroom of $909m under
existing bank facilities as at
30 June 2021.
The Group’s average debt maturity
is approximately 5.7 years and
approximately 99.4% of interest
rate risk is fixed, as at 30 June 2021.
The Company is mindful of
maintaining a suitable balance
between certainty and flexibility.

Dividends
A final dividend of 7.0 cents per
share fully franked has been
announced. The final dividend will
be payable on 17 September 2021
to shareholders registered at 26
August 2021. The ex-dividend date
is 25 August 2021.
The interim and final dividends
payable in respect of FY21 totalled
14.5 cents per share fully franked.
This equates to a FY21 dividend
payout ratio of 80% of NPAT
before significant items. As part
of its response to managing the
financial impacts of COVID-19, the
Board resolved not to pay a FY20
final dividend.
The Board is pleased that the
Group is emerging from COVID-19
in a strong financial position and
resumed the payment of dividends
in FY21.
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan
will operate in respect of the FY21
final dividend, with no discount
applicable.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2021OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW
LOTTERIES AND KENO
Review of FY21 performance
In FY21, Lotteries and Keno had a record result. Revenues were $3,206m, up 9.9%, and EBIT was $516m,
up 16.7%.
The business delivered strong revenue performance during the period as a result of game development,
and active portfolio and sequence management. Customer-centred improvements also led to better player
experiences, increased digital conversion, which was positive for margins, and greater retail integration.
Investments in product enhancements, the omni-channel program, the Lott’s digital platform and payment
options, helped deliver compelling offers and the ability for customers to buy when, where and how they wished.
Lotteries revenues were $2,951m, up 8.3% despite the cumulative value of Division 1 jackpots offered for
Powerball and Oz Lotto draws being down 20% due to less favourable sequences. Adjusting for those sequence
impacts, turnover in Powerball was up 21% and Oz Lotto was up 17%. All base games grew: Set for Life (33%),
Keno (33%), Saturday Lotto (22%), Instant Scratch-Its (15%) and Mon/Wed Lotto (11%). Game changes in
Saturday Lotto and Set for Life were well received by customers and contributed at least half of the growth for
the respective games.
Lotteries digital turnover grew 26.6% and accounted for 32.8% of all Lotteries turnover. Retail turnover grew
0.9% and continues to be the major Lotteries distribution channel. The number of active registered players
across digital and retail, as part of the omni-channel program, grew by approximately 100,000 to 3.8m.
Keno revenues were $255m, up 33.5%, as retail rebounded from the COVID-19 venue closures in FY20, and
supported by a very strong digital performance, with digital turnover growing 73.8% and representing 15.5%
of all Keno turnover. Performance also benefited from enhanced trade and loyalty programs, and alignment
of the game in South Australia with draws conducted along the east coast of Australia.

WAGERING AND MEDIA
Review of FY21 performance
In FY21, Wagering and Media revenues were $2,298m, up 10.3%, and EBIT was $216m, up 23.4%.
The business delivered improved performance, despite COVID-19 related shutdowns and government mandated
restrictions which meant that retail channels were impacted at various points in time. Revenue growth was achieved
across each of its Wagering, Media and International businesses.
A number of customer-driven initiatives strengthened the omni-channel experience, including in the exclusive
licensed venue network where customers are most engaged. Venue Mode, which gives customers access to
exclusive offers when betting digitally in TAB venues, continued to grow in popularity, supported by enhancements
such as differential pricing. More than one in three of TAB’s 784,000 active registered customers used Venue Mode
in FY21 and turnover through that channel grew 51.4%.
TAB digital wagering turnover grew 27% to $9.5b and active digital customers grew 9.7% to 784,000. Additionally,
the retail channel was resilient when it re-opened after lockdowns, with retail turnover down just 0.9%, to $5.3b, and
further steps were taken to optimise the venue footprint with agency rationalisation and a pilot of a digital only
venue offering.
The wagering market continued to be highly competitive in FY21, including significantly increased customer
generosities. During the period, Tabcorp enhanced its marketing and generosity program in a more digitally oriented
market through new data and personalisation capability.
The Sky Media business continued to expand racing and sporting content and its distribution through digital and
retail formats. Registered customers of the over-the-top media platform, Sky Racing Active, grew 55.3%.
In International, Tabcorp built on its established and profitable business by increasing its shareholding in the
international totalisator betting hub, Premier Gateway International, to 100% from 50%. Tabcorp also recently
enabled the co-mingling of its domestic pools with US wagering operators through a totalisator licence acquired
in North Dakota by Sky Racing World.

GAMING SERVICES
Review of FY21 performance
In FY21, Gaming Services revenues were $183m, down 17.2%, and the business reported a loss before interest
and tax of $10m.
Gaming Services was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 restrictions on licensed venues (hotels and clubs).
In support of its venue partners, Tabcorp suspended all material fees for venues during the period in which their
gaming floors were not operational. As gaming floor operations recommenced, fees were scaled up progressively
to return to pre-COVID-19 levels.
Revenues for MAX Venue Services were $99m, down 34.0%. The business was heavily impacted by the closures
and restrictions placed on venues as a result of COVID-19, especially in Victoria which has the most gaming
machines under contract.
The performance of the gaming machine monitoring business, MAX Regulatory Services, was more resilient,
with revenues growing 18.3% to $84m due primarily to lesser impacts in FY21 from venue closures in Queensland
and NSW.
Gaming Services’ earnings were also impacted by the non-renewal of a Telstra service contract, and the expiry of
the NSW Inter-Club Linked Gaming Systems Licence and Inter-Hotel Linked Gaming Systems Licence. These
income streams ceased in the latter part of FY20 and contributed $5m to EBITDA in that year.
Gaming Services continued to progress its plan to simplify and streamline its operations. A key initiative has been
simplifying its operating structure, which helped deliver a significant reduction in operating expenses.

Keno digital customers to better identify
risk of gambling harm;

Customer Care
Tabcorp is committed to responsible
gambling, gaming and play – it’s integral
to our long term success. We are committed
to complying with, or exceeding, the
requirements of relevant legislation
in all areas in which we operate.
Tabcorp’s approach to customer care
is underpinned by our Customer Care
Principles for responsible gambling. These
principles demonstrate our commitment
to the responsible provision and use of our
products, empower our team members to
support responsible gambling use, raise
awareness about responsible gambling
through sharing information and encourage
wider use of responsible gambling tools.
We also provide customers with information
and resources to help them make informed
decisions about how they gamble to
minimise potential harm.
In FY21, Tabcorp launched a program to
further enhance our approach to customer
care in Wagering and Media. A number of
enhancements that reflect leading practice
in customer care research and industry and
community expectations have been
identified. These enhancements will be
progressively implemented across the
business.

Tabcorp’s Customer Care Principles
RESPECT THE
CUSTOMER DECISION
ENABLE INFORMED
CHOICE
CUSTOMER CARE
BY DESIGN
CREATE TOOLS
THAT CARE
Customer Care Principles
Our customers are adults and we respect
their freedom to make their own choices,
except in specific situations where
individual safety is compromised. Meaning,
when a customer informs us they need
help directly, or when Tabcorp analysis
indicates the customer is displaying
signs of problem gambling behaviour
that present an unacceptable risk.
We distribute ‘helpful yet human’
educational messages along with
legally required messages, to give
our customers the right information,
at the right time, to make their own
individual decisions.
We always put our customers first,
especially when designing new products.
From a fresh idea to product design and
implementation; customer needs are
central to everything we do. That’s why
our products support our customers,
and our business.
We develop gambling management
tools to minimise harm and enable our
customers to make informed choices.
From implementing self-service tools,
to AI that helps us better understand
our customers and our business –
our commitment goes both ways.
ANALYSE CUSTOMER BEHAVIOUR
INTERACT RESPONSIBLY
PROVIDE A SAFETY NET
We unlock insights that help us understand the impact
our products, services and experiences have on our
customers. We use technology and human sourced
data, and we use it with integrity to further benefit
our customers – and our business.
We equip our people with the training to know when
and how they should interact with customers; from
providing customers with helpful self-service tools
online, to knowing when to step in and address high
risk behaviour in a retail location.
We endeavour to protect our customers and minimise
harm. We do this by placing restrictions and exclusions
on our products and services when either; a customer
informs us they wish to self-exclude or when Tabcorp
analysis indicates the customer is displaying signs of
problem gambling behaviour that present an
unacceptable risk.

Inclusion and Diversity
This included:
• Developing a Gender Affirmation
Statement of Support outlining our
approach to gender affirmation, including
leave, flexible work arrangements and
financial support.
• Establishing the Tabcorp Pride Allies
Network, an employee group to promote
respect and inclusion of all LGBTIQ
identifying people.
• Introducing paid leave for employees
to take part in cultural activities.
When it comes to our people, our mission is
to make Tabcorp the most exciting place to
succeed. We aim to be the inclusion and
diversity leader in our industry and an
employer of choice. Tabcorp is committed
to fostering an inclusive culture that reflects
a diverse workplace, where team members
can share their unique perspectives and
contribute their experience to achieve
the best possible business outcomes.
In FY21, Tabcorp continued to focus on the
wellbeing of its people in response to the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Tabcorp
continually reviews its organisation-wide
COVID Safe Plan to ensure compliance
with health orders in order to protect our
employees, contractors, customers and
the public.
Tabcorp supports employees through
flexible work practices to enable employees
to work remotely and supports wellbeing
through our Employee Assistance Program.
This year Tabcorp provided additional
support to our employees by offering
one week of additional annual leave to
permanent employees, additional personal
leave for employees receiving COVID-19
vaccinations, and reimbursement for
specific home office equipment for
employees who have been required
to work from home during this period.
The Board has set a target for the Tabcorp Board
to comprise at least 40% female Non-executive
Directors by the end of FY23 and to have at least
40% female representation in the Senior
Leadership Cohort by the end of FY21.
At 30 June 2021, Tabcorp’s representation
of women in the Senior Leadership Cohort
was 43%, exceeding this target. The
proportion of female Non-executive
Directors on the Board is 29%. Due to
the impending demerger of the Lotteries
and Keno business, the Board has
maintained the Senior Leadership Cohort
gender diversity target at 40% female
representation for FY22. This target
will be revised by the end of FY22.
Tabcorp has further cemented its
commitment to achieving gender balance
in our executive leadership ranks by
becoming a signatory to the investor led
HESTA 40:40 Vision initiative in 2021.
Tabcorp has once again been recognised for
its strong performance in gender equality,
being named an Employer of Choice for
Gender Equality by the Workplace Gender
Equality Agency for six consecutive years.
In FY21, Tabcorp progressed the delivery of
its Inclusion and Diversity Strategy as part
of our commitment to creating a safe and
inclusive workforce.

Tabcorp’s Charitable Games Division
facilitates fundraising for more than
500 charities and sporting clubs around
Australia through Play For Purpose and
the 50-50 Charity Raffle.
Play For Purpose is the first charity raffle of
its kind in Australia enabling participants to
play for prizes while supporting their
favourite cause. Five Play For Purpose draws
were conducted in FY21 with $1.5m in prizes
awarded and $1.9m distributed to more
than 200 charities. In partnership with the
Australian Sports Foundation and Sport
Australia, Play For Purpose has helped
raise funds for a variety of charitable
projects at over 360 grassroots sporting
clubs across Australia.
Community
Tabcorp has a long history of supporting
the community. We believe that contributing
to the wellbeing of the communities in
which we operate is critical to our long
term success.
In FY21, Tabcorp contributed $9.1m(i) to
charities and community organisations.
This community funding was provided
through direct donations, unclaimed prize
money donations, in-kind giving and
foregone revenue (predominantly Sky
advertising costs and margin), management
costs and employee time.
In addition to supporting our long-term
community partners, this year we
continued to provide assistance to
community and sporting groups through
the Lott and Tabcorp’s Charitable Games.
The Lott’s community contributions
The Lott has a long history of contributing
to causes that support healthy and happy
communities. In FY21, the Lott, via Golden
Casket, contributed $2.4m from unclaimed
prize money to long-term projects,
including:
• Funding two research projects at the
University of Queensland to improve
health outcomes for Australians
recovering from stroke and heart attack
and developing new technology to
improve future vaccines.
The 50-50 Charity Raffle gives sports fans
and the public the chance to play for large
cash prizes while supporting local charities
at major sporting events. The 50-50 Charity
Raffle is Australia’s largest event-based
charity and sports fundraising raffle, and
has partnered with teams from the NRL,
AFL, ARL, racing, cricket and netball across
NSW and Queensland. In FY21, the 50-50

raising approximately $400,000 for local
charities and contributing over 4,000
volunteer hours.
The Starlight Children’s Foundation supports
sick kids and their families.
The Daniel Morcombe Foundation is helping
to keep kids safe.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 Business Integrity
Tabcorp is committed to building a
sustainable future for its business and
industry and aims to set the standard for
integrity in every aspect of its business.
Human Rights and Modern Slavery
In FY21, Tabcorp formalised its commitment
to upholding human rights by launching a
Human Rights Policy. The policy embeds
human rights into Tabcorp’s operations and
through its supply chain and other business
relationships. The policy aims to protect the
values of respect, dignity and equality for
every person, free of discrimination based
on race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity,
sexual orientation, mental or physical
disability, relationship status or political
opinion.
In December 2020, Tabcorp published its
first Modern Slavery Statement under the
Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth).
Tabcorp’s Human Rights Policy and
Modern Slavery Statement are available
on our website at www.tabcorp.com.au/
who-we-are/corporate-governance.
Health and Safety
Tabcorp is committed to providing a safe
environment for employees and visitors, and
actively promotes health, safety and
wellbeing in the workplace.
In FY21, the Group reported a decrease in
lost time injuries resulting in a lost time
injury frequency rate of 2.3 (per million
hours worked), down from 4.1 in FY20. This
reduction is due to focussed work
undertaken during the year, with continuing
risk reviews, proactive reporting and
promotion of Tabcorp’s early intervention
program to support injured and ill
employees. This rate is well below the
industry average of 7.7 based on Safe
Work Australia benchmarks.
Animal Welfare
As part of our commitment to building a
sustainable future for our business and
industry, Tabcorp expects the highest
standards of animal welfare and integrity.
We have a zero tolerance to animal cruelty,
in racing and in society in general. Tabcorp
recognises the significant efforts the racing
industry has made in advancing animal
welfare and the progress made by the
existing animal welfare initiatives. Tabcorp
will continue to work in partnership with the
thoroughbred, harness and greyhound
racing industries to ensure the welfare
of animals is prioritised.
In FY21, Tabcorp supported the racing
industry’s animal welfare efforts through
several initiatives, including the Sock Stable
campaign, donating 100% of profits of sock
sales to Racing Victoria’s Off The Track
program and Team Thoroughbred NSW.
Tabcorp was also a major contributor to the
national Thoroughbred Welfare initiative,
working with racing industry bodies to
improve the welfare of horses.
Environment
Tabcorp aims to understand and minimise
our environmental impact to reduce
the cost of doing business and protect
the environment. We are committed to
complying with, or exceeding, the
requirements of relevant environmental
legislation, regulation and codes in all
areas in which we operate. Tabcorp
recognises that climate change is a
significant global challenge and is
committed to reducing our environmental
impact and identifying and managing
climate related risks and opportunities
across our business.
While Tabcorp has in recent years
experienced physical climate related
events such as bushfires and other extreme
weather events, these have had a limited
impact on the Group, primarily to the
operations of the Wagering and Media
business due to the disruption or
cancellation of some racing and sporting
events, and temporary closure of a small
number of retail venues and agencies.
In FY21, Tabcorp undertook modelling with
a view to setting greenhouse gas emission
reduction targets over the medium and
long term. Looking ahead, Tabcorp plans
to expand its climate risk and opportunity
analysis and set emissions reduction
targets in line with the Task Force on
Climate-Related Financial Disclosures
recommendations.
Details of Tabcorp’s environmental
footprint and greenhouse gas emission
reduction initiatives are available in
Tabcorp’s Corporate Responsibility
Report available on our website at
www.tabcorp.com.au/
corporate-responsibility.
Tabcorp team members used their volunteer leave to plant trees for Conservation Volunteers
Australia’s annual Tree Planting Challenge.

GOVERNANCETabcorp Annual Report 2021
RISK MANAGEMENT AND MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS
The Group has a structured and proactive approach to understanding, identifying and managing risk which is aligned
to the Group’s strategies and operations. The Group’s Risk Management Framework (summarised opposite) enables
the effective identification, monitoring, management, reporting and oversight of risks throughout the Group and
is based on concepts and principles identified in the International Standard ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management –
Guidelines. This framework supports a strong culture of proactive risk management, helps protect our reputation and
supports long term value creation for our stakeholders.
The Chief Legal and Risk Officer and Executive Leadership Team, together with the business units, actively manage
the Risk Management Framework, with oversight from the Board and Risk and Compliance Committee.
The Risk Management Framework is regularly reviewed having regard to the Group’s evolving needs and changes in
the external landscape, and enhanced where necessary to further mature the Group’s approach to risk management.
For further information regarding the Group’s approach to risk management and risk governance, refer to Tabcorp’s
2021 Corporate Governance Statement.

Risk Categories
Key Risk Policies
Risk Management Lifecycle and Tools
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) System
There are various risks that could potentially have a material impact at a whole-of-Group level on the achievement of the Group’s strategies and future prospects which are presented below,
in no particular order, together with existing mitigations employed by the Group. Many of the risks may arise due to events occurring that are outside the control of the Group.
Description and potential consequences
The Group’s businesses, as well as third parties that distribute the Group’s products
and services, including agencies, retail venues and retailers, are regulated by laws,
licences, regulations, rules, permits and other approvals (including, for example,
responsible gambling and AML/CTF laws). Any material breach of the relevant
obligations or failure to meet compliance and conduct requirements may have an
adverse impact on the financial performance and operating position of the Group.
Any such adverse impact may arise as a result of the suspension or loss of
applicable material gambling licences, renewal of licences on less favourable terms,
increased supervision and oversight by regulators and other stakeholders, civil or
criminal penalties, brand or reputational damage, and the inability to obtain future
licences or business opportunities.
In addition, a breakdown in material operational processes, system errors or failure
to comply with the requirements for the calculation of jackpots, tote and fixed odds
dividends, gambling taxes or other stakeholder returns, may require the Group to
repay winnings or other financial impacts, or seek reimbursement of any
overpayments, while also exposing the Group to litigation, including class actions,
or other forms of disputes.
The conduct of wagering, lotteries, Keno and the provision of gaming services are
regulated by laws, licences, permits and other approvals from relevant state and
territory governments. The loss of, or failure to renew, any material licence, permit,
authorisation or other approval (or renewal on less favourable terms) may have an
adverse impact on the financial position, performance and operations of the Group.
Mitigations employed
• The Group has risk management, compliance and accountability frameworks, considered
risk appetite positions on material matters, and supporting policies, procedures, tools,
training and other controls.
• Employees and managers are provided with training and support to enable them to
effectively manage their risk and compliance obligations.
• The Group regularly engages with regulators and has a robust environment for testing and
approving systems before deployment.
• Systems, processes and equipment are regularly monitored and tested. Internal Audit
periodically reviews and provides independent assurance regarding the adequacy of controls
and processes for managing risk and compliance obligations.
• The Group has processes in place to ensure that relevant third parties are appropriately
trained on requirements, and that compliance with such requirements are monitored.
• The Group operates a diverse portfolio of businesses across a number of jurisdictions,
business segments and customer categories which reduces the reliance on any one specific
business or jurisdiction.
• The Group maintains long term gambling licences and, where the terms are appropriate,
seeks new licences and to extend existing licences where possible.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 Risk
Changes in laws
and the
regulatory
environment
Description and potential consequences
The Group’s businesses operate in a highly regulated environment and are
significantly affected by government policy and the manner in which governments
and regulators exercise their powers. From time to time, government policy and
decisions shift and are influenced by societal attitudes and political and/or
media attention.
Litigation,
disputes and
investigations
Consumer
discretionary
spending and
preferences
Changes in legislation, regulation, taxation or government policy (and related
judicial decisions and enforcement policy) by government agencies, tribunals and
departments, including as a result of changes in societal attitudes towards gambling
products, may have an adverse impact, to varying degrees, on the Group’s
operational and financial performance as a result of significant changes in the
nature of operations, increased compliance or other costs, resourcing demands,
and potential changes in the level of competition in relevant markets.
From time to time, members of the Group become involved, or could become
involved, in litigation and disputes, including class actions, including with Federal
or State regulatory or law enforcement bodies (such as Australian Competition
and Consumer Commission, Australian Securities and Investments Commission,
Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre, Australian Taxation Office and
State-based gambling regulators), joint venture and other business partners,
stakeholders and third parties.
In addition, members of the Group (as well as their current and former officers and
executives) may be subject to various investigations carried out by Federal or State
regulatory or law enforcement bodies. Probity-related implications may also arise
for Tabcorp.
This could potentially lead to the suspension or loss of applicable gambling licences,
other financial or criminal penalties, disciplinary action, brand damage and/or loss
of future business opportunities, each of which may, if they were to occur, have a
material adverse effect on the financial position, performance and/or operations of
the Group. There is also the risk that Tabcorp’s reputation may further suffer due to
public scrutiny surrounding any such litigation, dispute or investigations regardless
of their outcome, and this may also adversely affect the Group’s ability to generate
revenue or conduct its operations.
Gambling activities compete with other consumer products for consumers’
discretionary spending and in particular with other forms of leisure and
entertainment. If the Group does not adequately respond to competition for
consumers’ discretionary expenditure, there may be an adverse effect on the
operational and financial performance of the Group.
Consumer discretionary spending may also be affected by adverse changes to
general economic or industry conditions, changes in consumers’ attitudes towards
gambling products and the availability of payment channels, which may in turn
adversely affect the financial performance of the Group.
Mitigations employed
• The Group proactively engages with regulators and governments, and from time to time
makes submissions relating to proposed changes in laws, and regulatory and licensing
environments, which may impact the Group.
• The Group regularly reviews its operating business model and strategies to take account
of changes to the regulatory and licensing environments to mitigate adverse consequences
of these changes.
• The Group proactively engages with industry bodies to align the Group’s business strategies
with potential industry changes and ensure the sustainability of the Group’s businesses
and those industries more broadly.
• The Group continues to invest in and embed customer care initiatives and responsible
gambling practices.
• The Group is supported by legal, regulatory and risk teams and implements robust risk,
compliance, contract management processes, and has systems and controls to help mitigate
risks of any potential litigation, disputes and investigations where possible. Any litigation,
disputes or investigations that arise from time to time are managed in an effective and
efficient manner with a view to protecting not only Tabcorp’s financial position, but also
its reputation and ongoing operations.
• As noted, the Group also endeavours to maintain strong working relationships through
regular proactive engagement with regulatory and law enforcement bodies, industry
controlling bodies, other industry partners and governments. This can help prevent
actual and potential issues arising and/or from escalating.
• As noted above, the Group operates a diverse portfolio of businesses with operations
spanning multiple jurisdictions and market segments, which reduces the reliance
on any single business and customer category.
• The Group adopts a range of strategies to further mitigate this risk, including using its
exclusive retail network, customer service and relationship management, alternative
payment channels, and product and digital innovation across a multi-channel network.
• The Group’s strategic marketing and consumer insights teams support the businesses
to understand and respond to changing consumer trends.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS
Risk
Competition
and disruption
Financial risks
Technology,
cybersecurity
and data/privacy
risks
Description and potential consequences
The Group’s businesses are affected, to varying degrees, by competing suppliers
of gambling and media products and services, based both in Australia and overseas.
New competitors and disruptors may also enter the Group’s traditional markets and
be subject to less regulation compared to the Group. As a result, there is a risk that
the Group may not be able to compete on the same terms as other operators, or
may face increased levels of competition from suppliers of gambling products and
services, which could adversely affect the operational and financial performance of
the Group. A sustained increase in competition from existing competitors or new
entrants may result in a material failure to grow, or a loss of market share or revenue
in some markets.
The Group is exposed to risks relating to the cost and availability of funds to support
its operations, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange
rates, counterparty credit and liquidity risks which could impact its financing
activities.
The Group is also exposed to various financial and trading risks arising from
operating its Wagering and Media and Lotteries and Keno businesses.
In addition, as part of its arrangements with its external financiers, the Group is
subject to a number of customary conditions and financial covenants. A failure
to comply with such conditions and covenants may require the Group to repay
borrowings earlier than anticipated, or result in increased financing costs for the
Group, which could in turn adversely affect the financial performance of the Group.
The Group’s businesses rely on the successful operation of technology
infrastructure, which could be adversely affected by various factors including
obsolescence, complexity of core environments, malicious attacks on technology
systems and customer, company data and regulatory information, ability to recover
from a significant hardware, software, digital or data centre failure, and managing
risks associated with outsourcing key processes and activities to third parties.
The Group’s businesses also rely on technology infrastructure to support ongoing
business growth. Where such infrastructure cannot efficiently support the changing
needs of the business, this may potentially adversely impact the reputation,
operations or financial performance of the Group.
The COVID-19 working environment has seen an enhanced threat level across
all industries and organisations as opportunistic criminals seek to exploit
organisations’ cyber defenses. Additionally, ransomware cyber-attacks on
companies across the world are on the rise.
A significant cyber incident or prolonged failure of the computer systems and/or
related infrastructure or technology security failure could impact upon the Group’s
technology systems and equipment, prevent operation of revenue generating
functions, result in the loss or exposure of information assets, or personal customer
or regulatory data could be wrongfully appropriated, lost or disclosed, which may
potentially adversely impact the reputation, operations or financial performance of
the Group and expose the Group to significant regulatory enforcement actions,
litigation and other disputes.
Mitigations employed
• As noted above, the Group operates a diverse portfolio of businesses with operations
spanning multiple jurisdictions and market segments, which reduces the reliance on any
single business and/or customer category.
• The Group strives for continual improvement in its product and service offering to attract and
retain customers, including customer service and relationship management, and product
and digital innovation across a multi-channel network.
• The Group supports an industry where all gambling operators can compete effectively and
are required to adhere to, and are held to, the same laws, regulations, industry codes and
standards.
• The Group’s finance facilities and interest rate, credit, liquidity and currency risks are
managed by the Group’s Treasury department in line with policies approved by the Board.
• The Group maintains an active capital management program with a range of funding sources
and long dated maturities.
• Various policies and processes are in place to manage financial and trading risks arising from
the Group’s operations.
• Refer to the sections titled “Capital Management” on page 11 and “Capital and risk
management” on pages 90 to 100.
• The Group’s Technology team dedicates resources, systems and expertise to the
identification, analysis, and mitigation of technology, cyber and data risks, and leverages the
expertise from key technology partners.
• A dedicated information and cyber-security team within the Technology function is tasked
with protecting key information assets, detecting any attempted attacks, and responding
appropriately. Regular reviews and assessments with follow up actions assist ongoing
defensive strategies and response readiness.
• The Group maintains support arrangements for cyber incident response and recovery,
and holds a cyber breach insurance policy.
• The Group has a Privacy Policy, Privacy Officer, and a number of internal working groups, and
adopts practices, procedures and systems to provide oversight and support the appropriate
management of data and its privacy.
• The Group has disaster recovery plans and business continuity plans in place to manage
major technology failures, cyber-security attacks and privacy breaches should they occur.
Following an incident at a third party managed data centre that impacted a number of the
Group’s systems in November 2020, a number of enhancements have been made and are
planned to further strengthen the Group’s enterprise resilience and disaster recovery
processes.
• In FY21, the Board established a Technology Committee to oversee the Group’s technology
strategy, including major technology investments to address the Group’s technology and
cybersecurity risks.
38
Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 Risk
Reliance on
infrastructure
and third party
commercial
arrangements
Racing and
sports products
Description and potential consequences
The Group is reliant on key infrastructure and third party commercial arrangements
for the operation of its business. A significant malfunction or interruption to key
infrastructure, or a failure of, significant interruption to, or reduction in the quality of
third party products and services that the Group relies upon for a sustained period
of time, may have an adverse impact on the reputation and the operating and/or
financial performance of the Group.
The Group’s Wagering and Media business is reliant on racing industries,
stakeholders and sporting bodies across Australia, and internationally, providing a
program of events for the purposes of wagering, and obtaining and maintaining the
necessary broadcast rights and content for race meetings and sporting events. A
significant decline in the quality or number of events that comprise this program
(for example due to adverse weather conditions, climate change, natural disasters,
epidemic/pandemic outbreaks (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), an outbreak of
equine influenza or other animal sickness pandemics, or changes in societal
attitudes associated with animal welfare or other sustainability issues) would have a
significant adverse effect on Wagering and Media revenue and may potentially have
a material adverse effect on the operational and financial performance of the Group.
Changes in race
fields and sports
product fees and
taxes
Each state and territory of Australia has implemented race fields arrangements,
under which wagering operators pay product fees for use of that industry’s race
fields information. Similar arrangements exist in relation to various sports. There is
the potential that fees will increase, new fees will be introduced, or the method for
determining fees will change, and such changes may have an adverse effect on the
operational and financial performance of the Group.
In addition, a material increase in the taxes and levies payable by the Group in
respect of its wagering, lotteries or gaming businesses may reduce margins and
have an adverse impact on the financial performance of the Group.
There is also a risk that racing, sport or industry bodies may disagree with the
Group regarding the application of certain aspects of the race fields regimes,
contracts that govern product fees or relevant commercial arrangements generally,
or the manner in which taxes, levies and fees are determined. Such disagreements
may lead to litigation or other dispute resolution processes being involved,
including negotiated settlement of relevant commercial disputes.
Mitigations employed
• The Group’s procurement function maintains commercial relationships across a diverse
supplier base with clear contracts, terms of engagement, agreed service levels, regular
reporting and monitoring, and where necessary risk mitigation and remediation action plans.
• The Group has in place business continuity and disaster recovery plans.
• The Group maintains an insurance program which includes limited recourse in the event
of major failures of infrastructure or third party supply arrangements.
• As noted above, the Group operates a diverse portfolio of businesses with operations
spanning multiple jurisdictions and market segments, which reduces the reliance on any
single business and customer category.
• In addition, the Group’s Wagering and Media business offers betting products on,
and broadcasts, a wide variety of racing, sports and other events, domestically
and internationally.
• The Group works closely with racing bodies and industry stakeholders to optimise racing
schedules and broadcasts to provide the best racing product available to customers and
mitigate the potential for adverse impacts which may result from a decline in racing product.
• The Group has in place business continuity plans and maintains an insurance program

RISK MANAGEMENT AND MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS
Risk
Disruption or
decline of
licensed venues,
agencies and
retail network
COVID-19
pandemic
Description and potential consequences
The operating and financial performance of the Group’s businesses are materially
dependent on the operation of a network of licensed venues (hotels and clubs), TAB
agencies, newsagencies, convenience stores and other retail outlets which offer the
Group’s products. Significant disruption or closures of, or a decline in, these
channels, whether as a result of a particular event (for example, due to adverse
weather events or climate change, epidemic/pandemic outbreak (such as the
COVID-19 pandemic), or natural disaster), economic conditions, changes in
consumer behaviour or any other factors, may have a direct adverse effect on the
operating and financial performance of the Group.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and government restrictions have impacted and
may continue to impact the Group’s operating businesses to varying degrees, and
in turn the Group’s financial and operational performance. In FY21, the main
impacts have been to the Group’s Gaming Services business (due to the temporary
closure of licensed venues) and Wagering and Media business (due primarily to the
temporary closure of licensed venues (hotels and clubs) and TAB agencies, crowd
restrictions at racing events, and disruption to Australian and international sport
and racing events).
The COVID-19 pandemic and related actions taken in response by the Australian
and other governments, including lockdowns, border controls/travel restrictions,
and the effects of the pandemic on the global and domestic economy have had, and
are likely to continue to have, an adverse effect on Tabcorp and its financial
performance. There is ongoing uncertainty as to the frequency and length of
Australian and other government restrictions in the future.
The long term impacts from COVID-19 on general economic or industry conditions
and consumer discretionary spending are uncertain and may adversely impact the
financial and operational performance of the Group and the delivery of its growth
strategies in the future.
Refer also to the risk topics “Racing and sports products”, “Disruption or decline
of licensed venues, agencies and retail network” and “People, health, safety and
wellbeing” for further information about other risks which could be impacted by
COVID-19 and other potential pandemics.
Mitigations employed
• The Group operates a diverse portfolio of businesses through a multi-channel strategy
across retail and digital networks, which reduces the reliance on any single channel.
• The Group regularly reviews its omni-channel strategies and seeks to optimise its investment
in the retail network to align with changing market and consumer trends.
• The Group works with industry peak bodies and retail network partners to optimise the
product and service offering, and enhance the customer experience in retail venues.
• The Group has in place business continuity and disaster recovery plans.
• The Group has plans, processes and resources in place to respond to government
restrictions and mitigate health and safety risks, maintain continuity of service (albeit at
reduced levels for some of its businesses and channels), and ameliorate the associated
financial and operational impacts.
• The Group regularly engages with governments, regulators, customers, venue and racing
industry partners, and employees to help manage the impact on our stakeholders.
• The diversification of the Group’s businesses across multiple channels, products and
jurisdictions provides greater resilience when such pandemics occur.
• During FY21, the Group continued to implement initiatives to mitigate the financial and
earnings impacts on the Group, including reducing operating and capital expenditure,
securing debt covenant waivers and preserving liquidity, not paying a FY20 final dividend,
securing government agreement for the temporary deferral of lottery, Keno and payroll taxes,
encouraging retail customers to use digital channels, and actively promoting remaining
available products. A range of people related initiatives were also implemented, including
standing down some groups of employees, promoting remote and flexible working
arrangements, and accessing the Federal Government’s JobKeeper scheme.
• The Group established the Pandemic Preparedness Working Group to coordinate and
oversee the Group’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 Risk
People, health,
safety and
wellbeing
Demerger
Description and potential consequences
The Group’s performance and the execution of its strategies depends on its ability
to attract and retain key senior management and operating personnel and foster
a high performance culture. The loss of any key personnel, or the Group’s inability
to attract the requisite personnel with suitable experience, could have an adverse
effect on the performance of the Group and the delivery of its strategies and/or
operations.
A failure by the Group to appropriately manage our team members’ physical and/or
psychological health and wellbeing, or failure to comply with relevant workplace
health and safety laws and regulations, could expose the Group (and individual
employees and Directors) to civil, criminal and/or regulatory action with associated
financial and reputational consequences.
There is a heightened risk that the people-related initiatives implemented in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic (refer above), and the previously announced
intention to demerge the Lotteries and Keno business, may have an adverse impact
on the Group’s ability to attract and retain certain key senior management and
personnel, as well as employee engagement and productivity. COVID-19 has also
heightened both physical and psychological health risks, with mental wellbeing an
area of particular focus due to ongoing public health directions.
The Group is undergoing significant change across the organisation as it executes a
proposed demerger of the Lotteries and Keno business, including in relation to its
organisational structure, business operations and technology. There are risks
associated with executing the proposed demerger, including that it does not
proceed, it may take longer than expected to complete, one-off and ongoing costs
may be higher than expected, key shareholder, regulatory, stakeholder and other
approvals may not be obtained, business disruption from technology separation,
and potential impacts on people and the delivery of the Group’s strategies
and operations.
Refer also to the risk topics “Licences and other approvals”, “Technology,
cybersecurity and data/privacy risks”, and “People, health, safety and wellbeing”
for further information about other risks which could be impacted by the
proposed demerger.
Mitigations employed
• The Board, People and Remuneration Committee, Chief People Officer and various
management committees have responsibility for overseeing strategies and programs related
to people, health, safety and wellbeing.
• The Group has adopted strategies, policies and processes for the recruitment, development
and retention of talent, and for fostering an inclusive, diverse and engaged workforce.
• Tabcorp is committed to providing a safe working environment and actively prioritises the
health, safety and wellbeing of our team members. The Group has implemented a health,
safety and wellbeing framework which includes policies, procedures, reporting, training
and education.
• The Group undertakes regular surveys of team members to monitor employee engagement
and wellbeing, and has implemented various policies and programs aimed at supporting
team member wellbeing.
• The Group’s remuneration framework aims to attract, motivate and retain high calibre
individuals through performance-linked remuneration based on the achievement of Group
and individual performance (financial and non-financial) outcomes.
• The Group has in place business continuity plans and has implemented COVID Safe Plans
across all Tabcorp locations.
• The Group has established a Steering Committee, with a clear governance structure and
defined workstream leads, to oversee the planning, design and delivery of the proposed
demerger, reporting to the Executive Leadership Team and Board.
• The Group has dedicated and experienced internal resources, with external advisors and
resources engaged to support the program to deliver the proposed demerger.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
3. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Other than matters arising from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic discussed in the Operating and Financial Review and elsewhere in the Directors’ Report, no other significant changes
in the state of affairs of the Group have occurred since the commencement of the financial year on 1 July 2020.
4. OTHER MATTERS
Entitlement Offer
In September 2020, the Company completed a 1-for-11 pro rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer (with retail entitlements trading) raising gross proceeds of approximately $600m.
The proceeds of the Entitlement Offer were used to pay down existing drawn bank debt facilities, strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and provide greater financial flexibility and additional
credit metric headroom for covenant and rating purposes.
Jumbo share disposal
In September 2020, the Group disposed its 11.6% interest in Jumbo Interactive Limited (ASX code: JIN) for gross proceeds of approximately $98m, with a profit before tax of $69m.
Premier Gateway International (PGI)
In February 2021, the Group acquired the remaining 50% interest in the PGI wagering pooling hub business located in the Isle of Man, and now has 100% interest in this business.
Amended 2016 tax assessment
During FY21, the Australian Taxation Office issued the Group with an amended assessment for the 2016 taxation year in relation to the deductibility of the licence fee incurred by Tatts Group
Limited in relation to monitoring gaming machines in NSW. The primary tax in dispute of $62m and interest charges of $9m were paid in December 2020. The Group lodged an objection
against the amended assessment and a Notice of Decision was issued in June 2021 disallowing the objection. The Group intends to appeal this decision, and if successful, the Group expects
that the amended assessment amounts should be refunded.
5. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
On 5 July 2021, Tabcorp announced the intention to demerge its Lotteries and Keno business and create two standalone ASX-listed companies. The demerger is expected to be implemented
through a court-approved Scheme of Arrangement, subject to shareholder, final Board, regulatory and third party approvals and consents. Tabcorp is targeting completion of the demerger
by the end of June 2022. The decision to pursue a demerger follows the conclusion of a comprehensive strategic review of all relevant structural and ownership options to maximise value for
shareholders, including the evaluation of unsolicited approaches and proposals received for the sale of the Group’s Wagering and Media and Gaming Services businesses.
The Group notes the recent developments since the end of the financial year in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic in NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland, and related actions
taken by respective state governments, including imposing lockdowns, travel and other government-mandated restrictions. These restrictions have resulted in the temporary closure at
various times of licensed venues (hotels and clubs) and TAB agencies which offer Tabcorp’s Wagering and Media, Keno and Gaming Services products (particularly in metropolitan Sydney
and Melbourne). At the reporting date a definitive assessment of the future effects of these restrictions, and COVID-19 more generally, on the Group cannot be made.
No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year, which are not otherwise dealt with in this Directors’ Report or in the Financial Report, that have significantly
affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.
46
Tabcorp Annual Report 2021
6. BUSINESS STRATEGIES
The Group is one of Australia’s leading gambling entertainment companies and seeks to deliver sustainable superior returns to its shareholders through the delivery of financial, operational
and leadership excellence. To achieve these outcomes, the Group continues to focus on a number of key priorities, which are discussed on pages 1 to 23. The priorities of the Group’s
operating businesses are set out on pages 12 to 23.
7. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS
Each year the Board participates in a formal strategic review and planning process to provide guidance to management about the Group’s strategic direction. The Group plans to continue
with its business strategies, as set out in this report and referenced above. The execution of these strategies is expected to result in improved financial performance over the coming
financial years.
The achievement of the expected results in future financial years is dependent on a range of factors, and may be adversely affected by any number of events, and are subject to, among other
things, the material business risks described on pages 36 to 41.
The Directors have excluded from this report any further information on the likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future
financial years, as the Directors have reasonable grounds to believe that to include such information will be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
9. DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS IN CONTRACTS
Some Directors of the Company, or related entities of the Directors, conduct transactions with entities within the Group that occur within a normal employee, customer or supplier
relationship on terms and conditions no more favourable than those with which it is reasonable to expect the entity would have adopted if dealing with the Director or Director-related
entity on normal commercial terms and conditions.
The Board assesses the independence of Directors and, among other things, takes into account any related party dealings referable to a Director which are material and require disclosure
under accounting standards, and whether any Director is, or is associated with, a supplier, professional adviser, consultant to or customer of the Group which is material. No such
circumstances arose during the financial year. For more information refer to the Corporate Governance Statement available on Tabcorp’s website.
10. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

party insurance providers, and in accordance with normal commercial practices, under the terms of the insurance contracts, the nature of the liabilities insured against and the amount of

Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 13. POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ENGAGEMENT
As a listed entity operating in a highly regulated environment, Tabcorp has an obligation to its shareholders and stakeholders to participate in the process of public policy development. From
time to time Tabcorp holds memberships with various networking forums organised by political parties and Tabcorp personnel attend networking events that support political parties as they
participate in the democratic system of parliamentary government in Australia – at both a Commonwealth and state/territory level. Under various Australian laws the cost of these
networking forums and events is classified as a ‘political donation’ and is sometimes required to be publicly disclosed.
Tabcorp takes a strict principles-based approach when making contributions to political parties in accordance with our Political Contributions Policy. In particular, Tabcorp does not make any
‘cash only donations’ to any political party or affiliate. The Board has oversight of this policy and approves Tabcorp’s political expenditure program and budget each year.
In the interest of transparency, Tabcorp discloses all political contributions made under our political expenditure program to the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) and other bodies,
irrespective of whether such contributions are classified by law as a ‘political donation’ or are required to be disclosed. In FY21, Tabcorp’s political contributions totalled $186,940
(FY20: $190,445). These contributions were to meet the cost of memberships of political party business forums and attendance at events and party conference corporate days.
Further details are available in Tabcorp’s Corporate Governance Statement and under the Corporate Governance section of Tabcorp’s website, including Tabcorp’s Political Contributions
Policy and a link to Tabcorp’s most recent Annual Return to the AEC.
14. ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
Dollar amounts in the Financial Report and the Directors’ Report have been rounded to the nearest million and in the Remuneration Report to the nearest hundred thousand unless
specifically stated to be otherwise, in accordance with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191.
15. AUDITORS
The Group’s external auditor is Ernst & Young. The Group’s internal audit function is fully resourced by Tabcorp, with specialist independent external support where necessary. More
information relating to the audit functions can be found in the Company’s Corporate Governance Statement.
16. NON-AUDIT SERVICES
Ernst & Young, the external auditor to the Company and the Group, provided non-statutory audit services to the Company during the financial year ended 30 June 2021. The Directors are
satisfied that the provision of non-statutory audit services during this period was compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The nature and scope of each type of non-statutory audit service provided means that auditor independence was not compromised.
The Audit Committee regularly reviews the activities of the independent external auditor and reviews the auditor’s performance on an annual basis. The Chairman of the Audit Committee
must approve all non-statutory audit and other work to be undertaken by the auditor (if any). Further details relating to the Audit Committee and the engagement of auditors are available
in the Company’s Corporate Governance Statement available on the Tabcorp website.
Ernst & Young, acting as the Company’s external auditor, received or are due to receive $1,110,000 in relation to the provision of non-statutory audit services to the Company in respect of the
financial year ended 30 June 2021. These services relate to other assurance and agreed upon procedures services under other legislation or contractual arrangements and other services.
Amounts paid or payable by the Company for audit and non-statutory audit services are disclosed in note E6 to the Financial Report.

GOVERNANCECORPORATE RESPONSIBILITYDIRECTORS’ REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW
REMUNERATION REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021
1. LETTER FROM THE PEOPLE AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Tabcorp Board of Directors, I am pleased to present Tabcorp’s 2021 Remuneration Report.
Tabcorp delivered a strong operational performance and earnings growth in a year marked by significant disruptions resulting from COVID-19. The pandemic continues to impact our
company and communities and we have remained focused on prioritising the wellbeing of our people and partners. This included supporting our venue partners who were impacted by
temporary closures, by suspending their contracted service and equipment fees.
Facing into the uncertainty of COVID-19, we strengthened the Group’s balance sheet through an equity raising and sold our equity stake in Jumbo Interactive. These actions, combined with a
strong recovery in operational cash flows, have significantly reduced our gearing ratio. We also accelerated the Group’s enterprise-wide optimisation program which delivered efficiencies and
EBIT savings in FY21.
Lotteries and Keno delivered a record profit result on the back of strong revenue growth driven by game development and active portfolio and sequence management. Wagering and Media
showed improved performance and revenue growth across its TAB, Media and International segments. Both businesses made good progress on their strategic priorities, which included
enhancing the customer experience through our successful omni-channel model. This delivered good customer acquisition and strong digital growth. However, the impact of closures
and other restrictions on licensed venues significantly disrupted our Gaming Services business. Notwithstanding this, the business is progressing its plan to simplify and streamline its
operations and reduced its operating costs in FY21.
Unfortunately, the year was not without other challenges. In November 2020, an outage at a third-party owned data centre impacted our customers and stakeholders. We have completed
a comprehensive review of the event and implemented changes to strengthen our disaster recovery capability.
Due to the strong operational result and good progress achieved across key business areas, albeit with some challenges, the Board determined the Short Term Incentive (STI) Group Funding
Multiplier (GFM) (STI pool) to be 1.00. Under the STI plan, given the above target Group financial results, a higher GFM would have applied. However, the Board exercised its discretion
to reduce the GFM, reflecting a balanced assessment of Group and operating business unit performance in FY21.
MD & CEO remuneration
Fixed remuneration
There were no adjustments to the MD & CEO’s remuneration structure or levels in FY21 and it is intended that these will remain the same in FY22. The MD & CEO’s fixed remuneration has not
increased since 2017.
Short Term Incentive (STI)
Given the balance of strong operational and strategic performance, offset by the data centre outage, the Board determined to provide the MD & CEO with an STI award equivalent to 100%
of his target STI opportunity (67% of his maximum opportunity) in the form of a combination of cash (50%) and Restricted Shares (50%). Restricted Shares will be restricted for two years
and subject to forfeiture, malus and clawback conditions. The treatment of Restricted Shares on completion of a demerger is yet to be determined and will be disclosed in the demerger
scheme booklet.
Long Term Incentive (LTI)
Mr Attenborough’s 2017 LTI offer performance conditions were tested in September 2020. The testing resulted in relative total shareholder return (the only performance measure) being
positioned at the 52nd percentile rank against the peer group. 54% of the Performance Rights under this offer vested and the remainder (46%) lapsed.
During the year, the Board considered providing Mr Attenborough with a 2021 LTI offer having regard to his intention to retire and the proposed demerger. Given Mr Attenborough has
a contractual entitlement to a long term remuneration component, the proposed demerger is still subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals, and his employment end date is yet
to be decided, the Board believes it is in shareholders’ best interests to provide him with a 2021 LTI offer. The rationale for this being:

• if Mr Attenborough retired during the offer’s performance period, a pro rata portion of the Performance Rights would remain on foot and be subject to the original terms and conditions.
This means that Mr Attenborough would only retain Performance Rights that were relevant to his employment period and that these would be subject to performance conditions after
he has ceased employment;
• if regulatory and shareholder approvals for the proposed demerger are not obtained and Tabcorp continues as a consolidated Group, Mr Attenborough would still be measured against long
term performance hurdles, even if he retired; and
• if regulatory and shareholder approvals for the proposed demerger are obtained and the demerger completes, only a pro rata number of Performance Rights would vest and the majority
of the Performance Rights would lapse at this point.
The proposed 2021 LTI offer to Mr Attenborough will be put to a shareholder vote at Tabcorp’s 2021 AGM (and will be included in the 2021 Notice of Meeting).
Executive KMP remuneration
Fixed remuneration
There were no adjustments to executive KMP remuneration structures or levels during FY21. There will be modest adjustments to executive KMP fixed remuneration levels in FY22
(average of 1.83% increase) with the exception of the Managing Director Lotteries and Keno, reflecting an alignment to market peers and the importance for the Group to retain critical
experience and knowledge. The Managing Director Lotteries and Keno’s fixed remuneration level increased from $800,000 to $918,000 (effective 1 July 2021), to align her remuneration
with market and internal peers and to recognise her performance since the combination with Tatts.
Short Term Incentive
The average STI award for the executive KMP (other than the MD & CEO) was 105% of their target opportunity or 52% of their maximum opportunity, reflecting strong Group financial and
operational performance and the delivery of individual business unit strategic priorities.
2021 Long Term Incentive offer
The Board has agreed that the 2021 LTI offer will proceed with 75% of the Performance Rights being subject to relative TSR performance and 25% subject to return on invested capital
(ROIC) performance. This is consistent with the 2020 LTI offer.
FY22 STI Structure
A new STI structure has been implemented in FY22, which has been designed considering market best practice, Tabcorp’s three-year strategy, the need to balance financial and non-financial
priorities (including sustainability) and feedback from shareholders. The new design ensures that participants are rewarded for strong Group performance, incentivised to deliver sustainable
business unit strategic and operational objectives and are recognised for their individual contributions. Importantly, the plan includes a “Sustainability Modifier” which allows the Board to
adjust the STI pool when considering risk management, responsible gambling, community and reputation impacts and performance, ensuring results are achieved in a sustainable manner.
Non-executive Director fees
The Board reviewed Non-executive Director fees and elected not to increase fees during FY21 and FY22. As a result of the changes to the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution rate from
9.5% to 10% (effective 1 July 2021), the Board agreed to absorb the increase into current fees, thereby reducing cash fees. This will have the effect of keeping total Board fees (inclusive of
Superannuation Guarantee Contributions) at the same level as those for FY21.
FY22 is an important year for Tabcorp as the Group executes on the proposed demerger, while also continuing to focus on achieving strong financial and non-financial results. The Board
remains confident that Tabcorp is well positioned to execute the demerger and is looking forward to it creating two highly profitable, market leading businesses with exciting futures.

REMUNERATION REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021
2. PURPOSE
This Remuneration Report details the remuneration policies and arrangements for the Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group, comprising Tabcorp and its subsidiaries, for the year
ended 30 June 2021 (FY21). KMP are those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of Tabcorp and the Group, and comprises the
Directors of Tabcorp and certain members of the Executive Leadership Team. This Remuneration Report is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
(Act) and its regulations and has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Act.
3. OVERVIEW
The COVID-19 pandemic was very challenging for Tabcorp in FY20. The shutdown of retail venues and disruption to racing and sporting competitions had a material impact on the Group’s
business operations. No short term incentives were paid in respect of FY20 and executive KMP (including the Managing Director and Chief Executive Office (MD & CEO)) did not receive any
increases to fixed remuneration in FY21. Non-executive Director fees were also not increased in FY21.
Notwithstanding the ongoing COVID-19 impacts, Tabcorp delivered strong operational and strategic outcomes in FY21. On 5 July 2021, Tabcorp announced its intention to demerge its
Lotteries and Keno business (subject to the receipt of regulatory and shareholder approvals). Tabcorp anticipates that the demerger will be complete by June 2022. The next twelve months
will be critical for Tabcorp, as it aims to execute the demerger and procure the many necessary approvals, while maintaining business performance across the Group. This heightens the
responsibilities and expectations placed on the Executive Leadership Team and other key employees. The Board determined that the following remuneration outcomes in FY21 were
appropriate, considering the strong performance outcomes, the need to retain critical skills during this period and maintaining alignment with shareholder value creation.

Fixed remuneration
FY22
Average increase of 1.83% across executive KMP. This excludes an increase for the Managing Director Lotteries and Keno from
$800,000 to $918,000 which aims to align her remuneration with internal and external peers and is in recognition of her performance.
STI and LTI opportunities No adjustments will be made.
Remuneration framework changes for FY22
A new simpler and strategically aligned plan was introduced from 1 July 2021. More details are outlined in section 8.
In July 2020, Tabcorp announced that following the successful integration of the Tatts business, David Attenborough would retire as Tabcorp’s MD & CEO and cease employment with the
Group in the first half of the 2021 calendar year.
In March 2021, Tabcorp announced that it would undertake a strategic review of all structural and ownership options and that it would pause its MD & CEO recruitment process pending the
outcome of the review. Mr Attenborough agreed to continue as MD & CEO during that time.
The Board resolved to provide Mr Attenborough with a 2020 LTI grant (which was approved at the 2020 Annual General Meeting) on the basis that:
• Mr Attenborough was employed at all times during the relevant period having continued to lead the Tabcorp business through the COVID-19 pandemic and the strategic review, and his
employment has once again been extended due to the announced demerger;
• an LTI offer to Mr Attenborough was in the best interests of shareholders as it ensures that Mr Attenborough’s remuneration will continue to be impacted by Group performance for a
significant period.
If Mr Attenborough retires during the 2020 LTI performance period:
• a pro rata portion of the Performance Rights granted under this offer will lapse; and
• a pro rata portion of the Performance Rights granted under this offer will continue on foot and be subject to the original terms and conditions of that offer.
Treatment of this LTI grant in the event a demerger is completed will be in line with disclosures to be presented in the demerger scheme booklet which will be communicated to shareholders
in due course.

6. EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION
(a) Strategy
Tabcorp aims to reward its executive KMP competitively and appropriately for:
Strong Group financial and
non-financial performance
Creating long term shareholder value
Behaving in line with Tabcorp’s values
Tabcorp’s short term incentive pool
and 60% of short term incentive awards
are based on Group performance
(financial and non-financial).
Tabcorp’s short and long term incentive
performance measures are directly linked
to shareholder value creation.
All executive KMP are assessed equally
on performance and behaviours annually.
This determines fixed and variable
remuneration outcomes.
Acting in line with Tabcorp’s risk
management and compliance framework
Key scorecard measures and a documented
accountability framework (which feeds into
the performance management framework)
ensures that executive KMP are rewarded
for results that are achieved in a sustainable
and ethical manner.

(i) The “minimum” value represents the value of annual remuneration where short and long term performance (Group, business unit and individual) is below target and no STI awards are made and LTI Performance Rights (granted in that year)
are assumed not to vest.
(ii) The “target” value represents the value of annual remuneration where target levels of performance (Group, business unit and individual) have been achieved and the target STI opportunity is awarded and 50% of the LTI Performance Rights
(granted in that year) are assumed to vest. This LTI value is calculated using Tabcorp’s share price as at the LTI grant date.
(iii) The “maximum” value represents the value of annual remuneration where stretch levels of performance (Group, business unit and individual) have been achieved and the maximum STI opportunity is awarded and 100% of the LTI Performance
Rights (granted in that year) are assumed to vest. This LTI value is calculated using Tabcorp’s share price as at the LTI grant date.

What is the target STI opportunity?
The value of the STI award if target performance levels are achieved and behaviours are in accordance with the Group’s values.
It is set at the end of the financial year by the People and Remuneration Committee.
It is based on the Group’s net profit/loss after tax (NPAT) before significant items result but also considers strategic, operational, risk
and compliance and customer performance.
How does the GFM operate?
It can range from between 0 and 1.25.
No STI awards are provided to any participant if the GFM is set at 0 (first gateway).
It was set at 1.0 for FY21.
What are the “Group” and “Individual”
components?
60% of the STI opportunity is dependent on Group results and rewards participants for their contribution to it.
40% of the STI opportunity is dependent on individual performance (financial and non-financial).
For executive KMP, other than the MD & CEO, individual performance is reflective of business unit and individual performance.
How does the IPM operate?
Executive KMP are assigned IPMs depending on their business unit performance (against a scorecard of measures) and their behaviours
as assessed against the Group’s values.
If the IPM is set at 0, the full STI award is forfeited (second gateway).
In what form are STI awards made
to executive KMP?
Cash (50% for the MD & CEO and 75% for other executive KMP) and Restricted Shares (50% for the MD & CEO and 25% for other
executive KMP).
The Restricted Shares are restricted for two years and subject to forfeiture and clawback conditions.
What happens to Restricted Shares if an STI
participant leaves the Group during the 2-year
restriction period?
If the participant resigns or is terminated for cause, Restricted Shares are forfeited (unless the Board determines otherwise).
If the participant leaves the Group under any other circumstances (including as a result of redundancy, retirement or ill health), then
Restricted Shares will remain on foot until the end of the original restriction period (unless the Board determines otherwise).
Can Restricted Shares be forfeited or clawed
back?
Restricted Shares may be forfeited at the Board’s discretion, based on certain adverse events or information that may come to light.
If these adverse events occur or adverse information becomes available after the Restricted Shares have become unrestricted, the
Board may require the participants to (amongst other things) repay all or part of the value of the Restricted Shares.
How does the STI framework align with
Tabcorp’s risk and compliance objectives?
What happens in the event of a change in
control of the Group?
The STI scorecard contains non-financial measures which include adherence with risk management and compliance objectives,
appropriate customer outcomes and cultural measures.
The STI award is also dependent on participants displaying the appropriate behaviours in line with the Group’s values.
The STI award is delivered partly as Restricted Shares (restricted for two years) and subject to malus and clawback provisions.
The Board is required to determine, in its absolute discretion, the appropriate treatment regarding any Restricted Shares.

On what basis are
Performance Rights
allocated?
Participants are allocated a maximum number of Performance Rights (based on their maximum LTI opportunities) using a face value allocation methodology.
Each Performance Right provides the right to receive one Tabcorp ordinary share, at no cost to the participant, subject to the satisfaction of specified
performance and service conditions. Performance Rights do not attract dividends or voting rights.
What are the performance
measures?
For the 2020 LTI offer, 75% of the Performance Rights are subject to relative TSR performance and 25% to ROIC performance. If performance conditions are
not met, Performance Rights will lapse.
What is relative TSR?
The return to shareholders (comprising capital returns, dividends and share price movements over the performance period) relative to a peer group of
companies. It was chosen as an LTI measure as it directly aligns to rewarding executive KMP for sustained shareholder value creation. Relative TSR is
measured over a three-year period.
62
Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 What is return on invested
capital?
The ROIC performance condition replaces the Combination Synergy condition which was adopted (as an interim measure) under the 2018 and 2019 LTI
offers. The ROIC performance condition was chosen as the most appropriate second performance measure for the 2020 LTI offer because it focuses
management on achieving targeted returns on Tabcorp’s invested capital (equity and debt). This is particularly important following the combination
between Tabcorp and Tatts Group (“Combination”) which required significant investment.
The ROIC performance condition requires three-year average ROIC performance (measured over three financial years, from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023)
to exceed specified targets.
For the 2020 LTI offer, a stretch three-year average ROIC target of 8.4% was set by the Board, at which point 100% of the ROIC tranche will vest (subject to
satisfaction of an additional service condition to be tested in September 2023). The Board is of the view that the stretch target was set at a sufficiently high
value, such that its achievement would require significant growth in Tabcorp’s earnings over the three-year performance period, which would ultimately
deliver healthy shareholder returns. The stretch target was also set considering past, present, and future expected ROIC performance and market consensus.
The ROIC threshold was set at a level that ensures there is sufficient stretch earnings growth after the 2021 financial year and in line with targeted longer term
investment returns. The targets have also been set considering Tabcorp’s invested capital base which contains goodwill and Tabcorp’s investments, following
the combination with Tatts.
When will the performance
and service conditions be
tested?
Relative TSR performance will be tested on 23 September 2023.
ROIC performance will be tested at the end of June 2023 and the service condition will be tested on 23 September 2023.
Any potential vesting of Performance Rights and issuing of shares will only occur after the 23 September 2023 test date and there is no retesting.

Relative TSR will be calculated by an independent organisation at the end of the performance and service periods.
What if performance and
service conditions are met?
ROIC performance will be calculated and verified by Tabcorp’s external auditors following 30 June 2023. The ROIC service condition will be tested and agreed
with the Board on 23 September 2023. If the service and performance conditions have been met, Tabcorp will issue or transfer ordinary shares to the
participant, which will rank equally with other fully paid shares (full voting and dividend rights).
What happens when an LTI
participant leaves the
Group?
If a participant resigns or is dismissed for cause, Performance Rights will lapse (unless the Board determines otherwise). In all other circumstances a pro rata
number of Performance Rights (based on the portion of the service period that the participant was employed) remain on foot and are subject to the original
terms and conditions (including performance conditions), unless the Board determines otherwise.
(i) The vesting schedule aligns to predominant ASX 100 practice.
(ii) Straight line (pro rata) vesting occurs between threshold and target, and target and maximum performance levels.

REMUNERATION REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021
What happens in the event
of a change in control
of the Group?
Can Performance Rights be
cancelled or clawed back?
Accounting treatment
The Board can determine, in its absolute discretion, the appropriate treatment regarding any unvested Performance Rights.
Performance Rights may lapse at the Board’s discretion based on adverse events that have occurred or where adverse material information becomes
available after the Performance Rights have been granted to participants. If these adverse events occurred or adverse information becomes available after
the Performance Rights have vested and shares or cash have been awarded, the Board may require participants to repay all or part of the value of the award.
Performance Rights are expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period. Under Accounting Standards, for the relative TSR measure Tabcorp is
required to recognise an expense irrespective of whether Performance Rights ultimately vest to the participant. A reversal of the expense is only recognised
in the event the Performance Rights lapse due to cessation of employment within the vesting period (for relative TSR and ROIC measures) or the
Performance Rights do not vest (for the ROIC measure).
(e) Remuneration and accountability
In FY21 no STI or LTI awards were clawed back.
Tabcorp has embedded a set of organisational values of which “Doing the Right Thing” is a core component. Tabcorp is committed to ensuring that its employees operate with integrity
and that its customers and the communities that we operate in can benefit from our products in a responsible manner. Tabcorp has a Board approved Code of Conduct which outlines
expectations of its employees and which is communicated to employees through regular training programs. Tabcorp operates an accountability framework which provides a link between risk
management and compliance breaches and implications for both employee remuneration outcomes and employment.
To assist the People and Remuneration Committee to determine appropriate remuneration outcomes for the organisation, including for executive KMP, several sources of information are
presented. These include risk culture reports which are presented to the Risk and Compliance Committee and then shared and discussed with the People and Remuneration Committee.
It also includes culture surveys and workforce snapshot reports to ensure they are taken into consideration when making decisions relating to incentives. The Chairman of the Risk and
Compliance Committee is also a member of the People and Remuneration Committee and has a standing agenda item to present risk and compliance performance outcomes when
incentive outcomes are discussed.
As mentioned in sections 6(d)(ii) and 6(d)(iii), if an adverse material event has occurred or adverse material information has become available, the Board has the ability to (amongst other things):
• reduce, or not make, STI awards and/or reduce LTI offers (partially or fully) prior to awarding them;
• forfeit STI Restricted Shares and/or lapse Performance Rights (partially or fully) while they are restricted/still on foot; and/or
• request part or full repayment of the value of the Restricted Shares/Performance Rights that have already become unrestricted/vested.
Material events or information may include (but is not limited to) where the participant has:
• acted dishonestly (including, but not limited to, misappropriation of funds, or deliberately concealing material events that would have influenced business outcomes);
• contributed to materially breaching Tabcorp’s compliance obligations (regulatory or legal);
• been accountable for significant reputational harm to the Group; and/or
• acted in such a way that the Group has made a financial misstatement.
In addition to STI and LTI impacts, Tabcorp can terminate staff where such events have occurred. If this was to occur, by default, all STI and LTI awards on foot would be forfeited/lapsed.
64
Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 (f) Policy prohibiting hedging
Participants in the Group’s incentive plans are restricted from hedging the value of Restricted Shares and unvested Performance Rights and must not enter into a derivative arrangement
in respect of the equity instruments granted under these plans. Breaches of the restriction will result in equity instruments being forfeited. These prohibitions are included in the terms and
conditions of the incentive plans and Tabcorp’s Securities Trading Policy, available on Tabcorp’s website (www.tabcorp.com.au) under the Corporate Governance section.
Equity instruments granted under the incentive plans can only be registered in the name of the participant, are identified as non-tradable on the share register, and cannot be traded or
transferred to another party until vested or until any trading restriction period has expired (where applicable).
(g) Executive Shareholding Policy
The Executive Shareholding Policy (applicable to all executive KMP) ensures that the interests of executives, the Group and shareholders are aligned. Under the Policy, the MD & CEO
is required to hold the equivalent of 200% of the value of his annual fixed remuneration in Tabcorp shares. Other executive KMP are required to hold the equivalent of 100% of the value of
their annual fixed remuneration in Tabcorp shares. The minimum shareholding must be achieved within five years from the executive KMP’s appointment or by December 2022 (whichever
is later). At the date of this report, all executive KMP complied with this policy. A copy of this policy is available on Tabcorp’s website (www.tabcorp.com.au) under the Corporate Governance
section.

(vi) FY21 EPS before impairment of goodwill was 17.9c.
(vii) The 2017 LTI grant of Performance Rights was tested on 15 September 2020. Tabcorp’s 3-year TSR performance placed the Group at the 52nd percentile of the peer group and, accordingly, 54% of the Performance Rights granted under the
offer vested. The remainder of the Performance Rights (46%) lapsed.
As detailed in Table 3 both the overall Group STI pool and executive KMP incentive outcomes (long and short term) have varied over the preceding five years in line with business results
(financial and non-financial), demonstrating a strong link between variable pay and Group performance.

Comments
Target
• NPAT (statutory) result of $269m, after incurring a $122m non-cash goodwill impairment charge for the Gaming
Services business.
• NPAT (before significant items) result of $399m, exceeding target. NPAT (before significant items)
is the basis for setting the STI group funding multiplier (STI pool).
• Variable contribution result of $1,914m, in line with target.
• ROIC performance was above target at 7.9%(i), largely driven by strong EBIT performance and cash flow generation.
• Following the $600m equity raising, the gross debt/EBITDA ratio reduced significantly (from FY20) to 2.4x to be
at the lower end of the revised target range. This outcome was supported by disciplined capital expenditure and
effective management of working capital.
• Enterprise-wide optimisation program (3S), delivered efficiencies and $30m in EBIT savings.
• The Tabcorp-Tatts integration is largely complete and has delivered above target cost synergy savings of $95m.
However, total integration costs exceeded the original target. On balance, this metric had a neutral effect on
STI payouts.

• New licence opportunities and renewals continue to be progressed but have been impacted by COVID-19.
• Successful completion of the pro rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer with retail trading rights
which raised approximately $600m in new equity. This has successfully strengthened Tabcorp’s balance sheet,
provided greater financial flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic and provided credit metric headroom.
• Increased shareholding in Premier Gateway International (PGI) to 100% from 50% providing greater exposure
to international tote pooling.
• Successful sale of Tabcorp’s shareholding in Jumbo Interactive Limited. This has allowed Tabcorp to pay down
existing drawn bank debt facilities and further strengthen the balance sheet.
• Preliminary agreement with US Private Placement (USPP) holders to allocate all outstanding debt notes to the
Lotteries and Keno entity upon demerger, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, thereby avoiding
significant make-whole costs.
• Gaming Services operational review has been completed. Resulting action plan has been mobilised with early
benefits, including a simplified operating structure.
• The technology operating model review is complete with significant changes implemented to simplify and
upweight capability. Technology transformation plans progressing well.
• The data centre outage (7-8 November 2020) resulted in impact to customers, and stakeholders. A formal
review was completed and changes have been implemented to strengthen disaster recovery processes.
• Regulators have been proactively engaged on Tabcorp’s responsible gambling program with regular updates at
strategy meetings in each jurisdiction. Responsible gambling has been a core focus for Tabcorp over the year.
• Lotteries received re-certification by the World Lotteries Association with the Lott’s program meeting all criteria
across the 10 assessment categories and was called out as best practice in the remote Gaming Channels
(digital) category.
• In August 2020, Tabcorp made a submission to the national Thoroughbred Welfare Initiative’s Thoroughbred
Aftercare Welfare Working Group (TAWWG). Tabcorp’s financial contribution helped fund the working group’s
operations.
• Tabcorp was recognised as the global leader in the Casino and Gaming sector in the 2020 Dow Jones
Sustainability Index. Recognised by the Australasian Investor Relations Association (AIRA) in 2021 as a gold
award winner for ranking first globally in the industry.
• Strong customer acquisition within both Lotteries and Keno and Wagering and Media.
• Customer retention in Wagering and Media up, despite challenging market conditions and COVID-19 impacts.
• Strong digital growth in Lotteries and Keno and Wagering and Media.
• Positive net promoter scores across Lotteries and Keno and Gaming Services.
• Re-certification of World Lotteries Association Level 4 status which is the highest attainable and demonstrates
continuous improvement and international best practice.
• Senior female leadership representation has exceeded the stated target of 40%.
• Employee wellbeing was a core focus for Tabcorp during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tabcorp supported employees
through various employee wellbeing policies and initiatives. Return to workplace strategies were well executed with
no impact to employee health and wellbeing.
• Significant reduction to LTIFR demonstrating strong focus on health and wellbeing.
• Employee engagement results declined towards the end of FY21, impacted by the uncertain environment as a result
of COVID-19, operating model changes and the recent strategic review of the Group. This is a strong focus for FY22.
Under Tabcorp’s STI plan, the FY21 Group STI pool was principally based on the NPAT (before significant items) result which was above target for the year. This outcome would have ordinarily resulted in an STI pool of 125% of the
target pool. In determining the FY21 STI pool, the Board considered financial, strategic, operational (including risk and compliance), customer and people performance as well as market consensus and feedback from the Group’s
shareholders. The Board exercised discretion to reduce the STI pool to 100%. In applying discretion, the Board carefully considered:
• The above target financial results in a challenging year (acknowledging the impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s financial results, its customers and its people);
• Operational excellence outcomes which were slightly below target, primarily as a result of the impact of the November 2020 data centre outage; and
• Strong customer acquisition and retention performance offset by revenue market share challenges in Wagering and Media.
When reviewing the individual executive KMP STI outcomes for FY21, the Board considered individual and business performance and the need to retain critical expertise and knowledge while the proposed demerger completes.
In assessing the individual KMP STI outcomes the Board considered the following:
• MD & CEO - Balanced assessment of financial and non-financial performance across the Lotteries and Keno, Wagering and Media, and Gaming Services businesses.
• Chief Legal and Risk Officer – The continued evolution of risk and compliance frameworks since commencing in the role and the significant legal support provided to the business, which has resulted in strong
commercial outcomes.
• Chief Financial Officer – The successful delivery of strategic projects which have strengthened Tabcorp’s balance sheet and financial resilience.
• MD Wagering and Media – Delivery of the business unit’s strategic priorities balanced with challenging market conditions (resulting in reduced market share).
• MD Lotteries and Keno – Strong financial and customer outcomes, resulting from significant strategic and product changes.

(i) Vesting of the 2020 LTI allocation of Performance Rights is subject to three-year relative TSR and ROIC performance conditions and additional service conditions. Accordingly, no testing or vesting of the 2020 LTI grant occurred during FY21.
The value of the Performance Rights is amortised over the vesting period.
(ii) The number of Performance Rights granted was based on a face value allocation methodology, being the five-day volume weighted average price of Tabcorp shares traded on the ASX up to but not including the grant date (independently
calculated as $3.43). Approval for the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Attenborough was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
(iii) The LTI allocation is weighted 75% – relative TSR and 25% – ROIC.
(iv) Represents the maximum value of the grants to each executive KMP for accounting purposes. The minimum possible total value of the grant is nil. For details of the valuation of the Performance Rights, including models and assumptions used,
refer to note E1 of the Tabcorp Financial Report.
(v) Granted prior to Mr McGlinchey commencing as a KMP from 1 March 2021.

(d) LTI awards tested in FY21
The 2017 LTI grant (which had one performance measure – relative TSR) was tested on 15 September 2020. The three-year TSR result placed Tabcorp at the 52nd percentile of the peer
group, and accordingly 54% of the Performance Rights vested (46% of the Performance Rights lapsed).

REMUNERATION REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021
8. FY22 SHORT TERM INCENTIVE STRUCTURE
With the Tatts integration largely complete, a new STI structure was introduced from 1 July 2021. The new structure retains the overarching remuneration philosophy to:
• ensure participants’ incentive outcomes are appropriate and linked to Group performance through the introduction of a Group EBIT hurdle (which replaced the previous NPAT hurdle);
• recognise good risk and compliance and sustainability practices and behaviours through the introduction of a ‘Group Sustainability’ modifier. This provides the Board with discretion to
adjust the pool when considering risk management, responsible gambling performance, community impacts and reputation management;
• provide greater clarity and focus for participants and the market through the introduction of executive KMP STI scorecard weightings (to be disclosed in the FY22 Remuneration Report); and
• ensure executive KMP are rewarded for Group, business unit and individual performance.
There is no change to eligibility and opportunities. Awards remain as a combination of cash and restricted shares.

EBIT hurdle – If the
financial hurdle is not
met then no STI pool
will form. The Board
retains discretion
to set a smaller
pool in exceptional
circumstances.
The Board considers sustainability
measures such as risk management,
responsible gambling performance,
community impacts and reputation
management and may exercise
discretion to adjust the pool
(up or down).
If the EBIT hurdle is not met, the Board may set a smaller STI pool in exceptional circumstances. These circumstances may include (but not limited to):
• where financial performance has been impacted by factors outside of management’s control (eg COVID-19) but non-financial performance has been at or above target; or
• where financial performance has been impacted by strategic activities that benefit shareholders (eg acquisitions) and non-financial performance has been at or above target.
An example of this has been the exercising of the Board’s discretion to reduce the Group Funding Multiplier (STI Pool) in FY21 from 1.25 to 1.00.
More details will be provided in Tabcorp’s FY22 Remuneration Report.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 9. 2021 LONG TERM INCENTIVE OFFER
Although Tabcorp has announced a demerger of its Lotteries and Keno business, it is still subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals. It is important that the Group’s executive team
continue to be measured on long-term performance hurdles.
During the demerger process it will also be important to ensure the Group retains critical experience and knowledge. Given this, and employment contractual obligations, it is intended that
an LTI offer will be provided to the MD & CEO (for which Tabcorp will seek shareholder approval at the 2021 Annual General Meeting) and other executive KMP in FY22.
The 2021 LTI grant (intended to be made in October 2021) will include two performance measures. Vesting of 75% of the grant will be subject to relative TSR performance over a three-year
period. Vesting of 25% of the grant will be based on ROIC performance over three financial years (commencing with FY22).
More details will be provided in Tabcorp’s FY22 Remuneration Report and the 2021 Notice of Meeting.
10. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FEES
(a) Strategy and framework
Non-executive Director fees are set based on workload, responsibilities, qualifications, experience and market benchmarks. Board and Board Committee fees are benchmarked to the
median of a peer group, comprising the ASX 25 to 75 group of companies. Non-executive Directors do not receive any performance or incentive-related payments. Board fees are not paid to
the MD & CEO or to executives for directorships of any subsidiaries.
(b) FY21 fee structure
Non-executive Directors receive a base Board fee and a fee for each Board Committee that they chair or are a member of (except for the Nomination Committee, where no additional fees are
paid). The Board Chairman receives a single fixed fee which is inclusive of services on applicable Board Committees. Superannuation contributions form part of the fees and Non-executive
Directors are not eligible to receive any other retirement benefits.
On 1 July 2021, the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution rate increased from 9.5% to 10%. The Board agreed to absorb this change into existing fees, thereby reducing the Non-executive
Director cash fees by 0.45%. This results in no changes to total fees (inclusive of superannuation) in FY22.

(c) Fees paid during FY21
During FY21, in recognition of the strategic importance of technology to the Group, the Board Technology Committee was established with the primary purpose of overseeing the Group’s
technology strategy and roadmap, including major technology investments. Certain Non-executive Directors may receive additional fees for membership of other Board Sub-Committees,
however during FY21 no such fees were paid. As part of the coordinated process of Board renewal a number of changes were made to Committee membership during the year. Table 11
details all fees paid to Non-executive Directors. Non-executive Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for all business-related expenses, including travel, which may be incurred as part
of their duties.

(i) Mr Gregg (in FY21) and Ms Dwyer (in FY20) also received a per annum fee of $35,000 (plus superannuation at 9.5%) for the role of Chairman of the Victorian Joint Venture Management Committee. The fee was borne by the Joint Venture, which
is jointly controlled by Tabcorp.
(ii) Recent legislation changes now allow persons with multiple employers to instruct one or more (but not all) of those employers to stop superannuation deductions and receive these fees in cash. Certain Non-executive Directors directed Tabcorp
to stop superannuation deductions in FY21 and receive the equivalent superannuation contributions in cash.

(i) Ordinary shares issued under a pro rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer. The proceeds have been used to pay down existing drawn bank facilities. Refer to note B3.
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are issued and fully paid. They carry one vote per share and hold rights to dividends. Issued capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received. When issued capital is
repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognised as a deduction from total issued capital. Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issue
of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity, net of tax, as a reduction of the share proceeds received.
Treasury shares represent the unvested portion of Restricted Shares issued to executives as an incentive, on appointment or for retention, which is recognised as a reduction in issued capital.
The amount which has been credited to the employee equity benefit reserve is transferred to issued capital to the extent the relevant Performance Rights vest or have been treated as vested.
Nature of reserves
Hedging reserve represents hedging gains and losses recognised on the effective portion of cash flow hedges.
Demerger reserve arose on the demerger of The Star Entertainment Group (previously the Echo Entertainment Group) in 2011. It represents the difference between the fair value of The Star
Entertainment Group shares (being the distribution liability arising on demerger), the amount allocated as a capital reduction and any transfers to retained earnings.
Other reserves contain the employee equity benefit reserve and the foreign currency translation reserve.
The accompanying notes form an integral part of this statement of changes in equity.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2021CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITYGOVERNANCEDIRECTORS’ REPORTREMUNERATION REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021
ABOUT THIS REPORT
Tabcorp Holdings Limited (the Company) is a company limited by shares which are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Australia,
and is a for-profit entity. The Financial Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2021 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) and the Group’s interest in joint
arrangements and associates.
The COVID-19 pandemic and related actions taken in response by the Australian and other governments, including national lockdowns, border controls/travel restrictions and social
distancing measures continue to have an adverse impact on the financial performance of the Group. The financial statements reflect the impacts of these measures on the results and the
cash flows of the Group in both the current and prior year. Refer to the Operating and Financial Review section of the Annual Report for further information.
The Group accessed the Federal Government’s JobKeeper scheme in relation to Gaming Services (refer to note A4). This business suspended all material fees for venues and temporarily
stood down most of its workforce during the period where impacted by COVID-19 venue closures.
An assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s balance sheet is set out below:
Balance sheet item COVID-19 assessment
Interest bearing
liabilities
Goodwill
The Group engaged with the respective lending groups and secured covenant relief for 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2020 testing dates.
The Group considered the impact of government and other measures taken to address the COVID-19 pandemic on the assumptions used in its annual
impairment test. An impairment charge against goodwill was recognised for the Gaming Services segment in the current and prior year, and for the
Wagering and Media segment in the prior year.
Prior year trade debtors include the impact of the temporary closure of venues resulting in suspension of invoicing and increase in allowance for
expected credit losses.
Prior year current payables include lottery and Keno taxes and payroll tax deferred as a result of government support received during the COVID-19
pandemic and reflect employee bonus accruals of nil.
Employee benefits provisions reflect the utilisation of leave entitlements as part of COVID-19 response measures taken in the prior year.
In September 2020, the Company completed a 1-for-11 pro rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer raising gross proceeds of approximately
$600m which were used to pay down existing drawn bank debt facilities.

A4 Revenue and expenses (continued)
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to
be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Incremental costs of obtaining contracts with a duration of one year or less are expensed as incurred. The following specific criteria
must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Lotteries revenue is recognised as the gross subscriptions received for lotteries less prizes payable when the official draw for each game is completed. Subscriptions received during the
year for games which will be drawn in the next financial period are deferred and recognised as revenue in the next financial period. Revenue from lottery card subscriptions is recognised
over the life of the subscription. Management fees recognised in relation to the Master Agent Agreement associated with the operation of SA Lotteries are recognised in revenue.
Keno revenue is recognised as the residual value after deducting the return to customers from Keno turnover.
Wagering revenue is recognised as the residual value after deducting the return to customers from wagering turnover. Fixed odds betting revenue is classified as other revenue and
recognised as the net win or loss on an event. The amounts bet on an event are recognised as a liability until the outcome of the event is determined, at which time the revenue is brought
to account. Open fixed odds betting positions are carried at fair value and gains and losses arising on these positions are recognised in revenue.
In the prior year, the Group operated loyalty programmes enabling customers to accumulate award credits for wagering spend. A portion of the spend was allocated to the loyalty points
awarded to customers on relative stand-alone selling price and was recognised as a contract liability until the points were redeemed. Revenue from the award credits was recognised when
the award was redeemed or expired.
Media revenue includes subscription income and advertising revenue, and is recognised once the service has been rendered. Subscriptions received relating to future periods are treated
as deferred revenue.
Gaming services revenue is recognised once the service has been rendered or the goods have been delivered to the buyer.
Interest revenue earned from customers in the ordinary course of operations is disclosed within revenue.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the income statement as they become payable.
Finance income is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
Finance costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.
A5 Income tax
(a) The major components of income tax expense are:
Current tax
Adjustments in respect of current income tax of previous years (i)
Deferred tax
Income tax reconciliation:
Profit/(loss) before income tax
Income tax receivable/(payable) at the 30% company tax rate
Tax effect of adjustments in calculating taxable income:
– impairment of goodwill
– amortisation of licences
– uncertain tax positions relating to NSW gaming machine monitoring licence(i)
– net gain on disposal of investment in an associate
– gain on revaluation of previously held equity interest
– research and development claims
– other
Income tax expense
(i) Current year includes $62m relating to uncertain tax positions. Refer to note E4 for details on related contingent asset.

Income tax comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except when it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. The
temporary differences for goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit at the time of the transaction are not
provided for. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally
enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
The income tax expense and deferred tax balances assume certain tax outcomes in relation to the application of tax legislation as it applies to the Group. An uncertain tax treatment occurs where there is uncertainty over
whether a tax authority will accept a tax treatment adopted by the Group under tax law. The Group revisits the accounting in relation to an uncertain tax treatment when there are changes in relevant facts and circumstances
(refer to note E4).
A6 Subsequent events
Subsequent events other than those disclosed elsewhere in this report are:
Announced intention to demerge Lotteries and Keno business
On 5 July 2021, Tabcorp announced the intention to demerge its Lotteries and Keno business and create two standalone ASX-listed companies. The demerger is expected to be implemented
through a court-approved Scheme of Arrangement, subject to shareholder, final Board, regulatory and third party approvals and consents. Tabcorp is targeting completion of the demerger
by the end of June 2022. The decision to pursue a demerger follows the conclusion of a comprehensive strategic review of all relevant structural and ownership options to maximise value
for shareholders, including the evaluation of unsolicited approaches and proposals received for the sale of the Group’s Wagering and Media and Gaming Services businesses.
COVID-19 restrictions
The Group notes the recent developments since the end of the financial year in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic in NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland, and related actions
taken by respective state governments, including imposing lockdowns, travel and other government-mandated restrictions. These restrictions have resulted in the temporary closure at
various times of licensed venues (hotels and clubs) and TAB agencies which offer Tabcorp’s Wagering and Media, Keno and Gaming Services products (particularly in metropolitan Sydney
and Melbourne). At the reporting date a definitive assessment of the future effects of these restrictions, and COVID-19 more generally, on the Group cannot be made.

SECTION B – CAPITAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT
B1 Capital management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Group continues as a going concern while providing optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders,
and to maintain an appropriate capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
The Group has a target of an investment grade credit rating. Gearing is managed primarily through the ratio of gross debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and
impairment (EBITDA).
At 30 June the Group’s gearing ratio was:
Gross debt (US private placement debt at the Australian dollar principal repayable under cross currency swaps) (i)
EBITDA (before significant items)
Gearing ratio
(i) Includes lease liabilities following the implementation of AASB 16.
B2 Other financial assets
Other financial assets are held to fund payments to winners of certain lottery games, where winnings are payable for up to 20 years.
Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
Unlisted investments – managed fund
Debt instruments at amortised cost
Investment – term deposits

Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are equity instruments which the Group intends to hold for the foreseeable future, and for which an irrevocable
election to classify as such upon transition to AASB 9 has been made.
After initial measurement, they are subsequently carried at fair value (refer to note B5). Changes in the fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated
in a reserve within equity. No subsequent recycling of gains or losses to profit or loss is permitted.
Debt instruments at amortised cost are financial assets held in order to collect contractual cash flows that solely represent payments of principal and interest. They are carried
at amortised cost.

Interest bearing liabilities are recognised initially at fair value net of transaction costs, and subsequent to initial recognition are recognised at amortised cost which is calculated using
the effective interest rate method. Foreign currency liabilities are carried at amortised cost and are translated at the exchange rates at reporting date. Gains and losses are recognised
in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised in addition to the amortisation process.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan. These fees are capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the
period of the facility to which they relate.

Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at cost, and subsequently are stated at fair value (refer to note B5). The method of recognising any remeasurement gain or loss
depends on the nature of the item being hedged. For the purposes of hedge accounting, the Group’s hedges are classified as cash flow hedges.
At inception, hedge relationships are designated as such and documented. This includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged,
and how the hedge effectiveness requirements are assessed.
A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements:
• there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
• the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship; and
• the hedge ratio is the same as that resulting from actual amounts of hedged items and hedging instruments for risk management.
Cash flow hedges are used to hedge the exposure to variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability, or a highly probable forecast
transaction. Hedge effectiveness is measured by comparing the change in the fair value of the hedged item and the hedging instrument respectively each quarter. Any difference
represents ineffectiveness. The effective portion of any gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in equity, with any ineffective portion recognised in the income
statement. For hedged items relating to financial assets or liabilities, amounts recognised in equity are reclassified into the income statement when the hedged transaction affects
the income statement (i.e. when interest income or expense is recognised). When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts recognised in equity
are transferred into the initial cost or other carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation of the hedge relationship is revoked but the hedged forecast transaction is still expected to
occur, the cumulative gain or loss at that point remains in equity and is recognised in accordance with the above when the transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer
expected to take place, then the cumulative unrealised gain or loss recognised in equity is recognised immediately in the income statement.
Financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are stated at fair value with any resultant gain or loss being recognised in the income statement.

Net settlement receipts and payments are recognised as an adjustment to interest expense on an accruals basis over the term of the swaps, such that the overall interest expense on
borrowings reflects the average cost of funds achieved by entering into the swap agreements.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedged instrument as the key terms of the interest rate swap are similar to the key terms of the floating rate borrowings.
The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 which has been determined by comparing the notional principal of the swap with the notional amount of the designated debt.
Further information about the Group’s interest rate risk management is disclosed in note B6.1.
B4.2 Cross currency swaps
These swaps are used to reduce the exposure to the variability of movements in the forward USD exchange rate in relation to the USD private placement debt.
The principal amounts and periods of expiry of the cross currency swap contracts are:
Less than one year
One to five years
More than five years

There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedged instrument as the terms and conditions in relation to the interest rate and maturity of the cross currency swaps
are similar to the terms and conditions of the underlying hedged US private placement debt. The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 which has been determined by comparing the
notional principal of the swap with the notional amount of the designated debt.

B5 Fair value measurement
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities is estimated for recognition, measurement and disclosure purposes at each balance date. Various methods are available to estimate
the fair value of a financial instrument, and comprise:
Level 1 – calculated using quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2 – estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 – estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The carrying amount of financial assets or liabilities recognised in the financial statements is deemed to be the fair value unless stated below:
Financial assets
Investment in an associate
Financial liabilities
US private placement
The fair value of the Group’s financial instruments is estimated as follows:
Investment in an associate
Fair value was determined using quoted market price (level 1 in fair value hierarchy).

Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 B6 Financial instruments – risk management
The Group’s principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise cash, term deposits, unlisted investments and interest bearing liabilities. The main purpose of these financial
instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations. The Group also has various other financial assets and liabilities which arise directly from its operations.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from operational, financing and investment activities, principally
interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are discussed in section B6.1 to B6.4.
B6.1 Interest rate risk
The Group has a policy of controlling exposure to interest rate fluctuations by the use of fixed and variable rate debt, floating rate term deposits, interest rate swaps, capped or collar options
and forward rate agreements. It has entered into interest rate swap arrangements to hedge underlying debt obligations and allow floating rate borrowings to be swapped to fixed rate
borrowings. Under these arrangements, the Group pays fixed interest rates and receives the bank bill swap rate (BBSW) calculated on the notional principal amount of the contracts.
The Group also has entered into floating rate term deposits where it receives variable interest that is priced against the BBSW.
At 30 June 2021 after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps and floating rate term deposits, approximately 99.4% (2020: 71.0%) of the Group’s borrowings are at a fixed rate
of interest.
The following assets and liabilities are exposed to floating interest rate risk:
Cash assets
Short term deposits
Investment terms deposits – current
Investment terms deposits – non current
Bank loans – unsecured
Interest rate swaps – notional principal amounts
Cross currency swaps – notional principal amounts

Sensitivity analysis – interest rates – AUD and USD
The Group’s sensitivity to reasonably possible changes in interest rates on the affected financial assets and financial liabilities in existence at year end is shown below. With all other variables
held constant, post tax profit and other comprehensive income would have been affected as follows:
AUD
+ 0.5% (50 basis points) (2020: + 0.5%)
- 0.5% (50 basis points) (2020: - 0.5%)

The movements in profit are due to higher/lower interest costs from variable rate debt and investments. The movement in other comprehensive income is due to an increase/decrease
in the fair value of financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges.
Significant assumptions used in the analysis include:
• reasonably possible movements were determined based on the Group’s current credit rating and mix of debt, and the level of debt that is expected to be renewed, as well as a review
of the last two years’ historical movements and economic forecasters’ expectations;
• price sensitivity of derivatives is based on a reasonably possible movement of spot rates at balance date; and
• net exposure at balance date is representative of what the Group was and is expecting to be exposed to in the next twelve months.
B6.2 Foreign currency risk
The Group’s primary currency exposure is to US dollars as a result of issuing US private placement debt. In order to hedge this exposure, the Group has entered into cross currency swaps
to fix the exchange rate on the USD debt until maturity. The Group agrees to pay a fixed USD amount in exchange for an agreed AUD amount with swap counterparties, and to re-exchange
this again at maturity. These swaps are designated to hedge the principal and interest obligations of the US private placement debt.
Sensitivity analysis foreign exchange
The following analysis is based on the Group’s foreign currency risk exposures in existence at balance date and demonstrates the Group’s sensitivity to reasonably possible changes in the
AUD/USD exchange rate. With all other variables held constant, post tax profit and other comprehensive income would have been affected as follows:
AUD/USD + 10 cents (2020: + 10 cents)
AUD/USD - 10 cents (2020: - 10 cents)

The movement in other comprehensive income is due to an increase/decrease in the fair value of financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges. Management believe the balance
date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in the financial instruments.
98
Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 Significant assumptions used in the foreign currency exposure sensitivity analysis include:
• reasonably possible movements were determined based on a review of the last two years’ historical movements and economic forecasters’ expectations;
• movement of 10 cents was calculated by taking the USD spot rate as at balance date, moving this spot rate by 10 cents and then re-converting the USD into AUD with the ‘new spot rate’.
This methodology reflects the translation methodology undertaken by the Group;
• price sensitivity of derivatives is based on a reasonably possible movement of spot rates at balance dates; and
• net exposure at balance date is representative of what the Group was and is expecting to be exposed to in the next twelve months.
The translation of the results of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries into the Group presentation currency has not been included in the above sensitivity analysis as it represents translation risk
rather than transaction risk.
B6.3 Credit risk
The Group’s credit risk arises in relation to cash and cash equivalents, receivables, term deposits, financial liabilities and liabilities under financial guarantees. Credit risk on financial assets
which have been recognised on the balance sheet, is the carrying amount less any allowance for non recovery.
Credit risk is managed by:
• adherence to a strict cash management policy;
• conducting all investment and financial instrument activity with approved counterparties with investment grade credit ratings and setting exposure limits based on these ratings; and
• reviewing compliance with counterparty exposure limits on a continuous basis, and spreading the aggregate value of transactions amongst the approved counterparties; ensuring no more
than 60% of investments are held with any one counterparty.
Credit risk associated with financial liabilities arises from the potential failure of counterparties to meet their obligations under the contract or arrangement. The Group’s maximum credit
risk exposure in respect of derivative contracts is detailed in the liquidity risk table in note B6.4.
Credit risk includes liabilities under financial guarantees. For financial guarantee contract liabilities the fair value at initial recognition is determined using a probability weighted discounted
cash flow approach. The fair value of financial guarantee contract liabilities has been assessed as nil (2020: nil), as the possibility of an outflow occurring is considered remote.
Details of the financial guarantee contracts at balance date are outlined below:
• The Company has entered into a deed of cross guarantee as outlined in note D2.
• The maximum amount of bank guarantee contracts at balance date is $34m (2020: $34m).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: CAPITAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT For the year ended 30 June 2021
B6 Financial instruments – risk management (continued)
B6.4 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the Group and the Group’s subsequent ability to meet its obligations to repay its financial liabilities as and when they fall due.
The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans and notes. To help reduce liquidity risk, the Group targets
a minimum level of cash and cash equivalents to be maintained, and has sufficient undrawn funds available.
The Group’s current policy is that not more than 33% of debt facilities should mature in any financial year. At 30 June 2021, 7% (2020: 7%) of debt facilities will mature in less than one year.
Due to the measures in place for managing liquidity and access to capital markets, this risk is not considered significant.
The contractual cash flows including principal and estimated interest payments of financial liabilities in existence at year end are as follows:
Non-derivative financial instruments
Financial liabilities
Payables
Bank loans – unsecured
US private placement

by applying the acquisition method. Any contingent consideration is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised directly in the income statement. Goodwill is not amortised, and is
stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Any impairment losses recognised against goodwill cannot be reversed.
Brand names, media content and broadcast rights with indefinite useful lives are not amortised as the Board of Directors believe that the life of these intangibles to the Group will not materially diminish over time, and the residual value at the
end of that life would be such that the amortisation charge, if any, would not be material.
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The cost of internally developed software includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate
proportion of overheads.
Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred.

In accordance with the Group’s accounting policies, the Group performs its impairment testing annually at 30 June.
The recoverable amount of each CGU is determined based on fair value less costs of disposal, calculated using discounted cash flows. The cash flow forecasts are principally based upon
a four year period and extrapolated using long term growth rates ranging from 1.0% to 3.5% (2020: 1.0% to 3.5%). These cash flows are then discounted using a relevant long term post tax
discount rate, ranging between 7.5% and 8.4% (2020: 7.5% and 8.4%). This is considered to be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (refer to note B5 for explanation of the valuation hierarchy).
Key assumptions on which management has based its cash flow projections:
• Impact of the government and other measures on the business to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Fees paid to Racing Queensland (RQ) following the introduction of point of consumption tax have been calculated on the basis of the Group’s interpretation of the calculation. This is subject
to a dispute with RQ (refer note E4 Contingencies).
• State tax regimes and the regulatory environment in which the Group currently operates remain largely unchanged, other than announced.
• Exclusive retail wagering licences held are assumed to be retained. The wagering business competes with bookmakers and other interstate and international wagering operators who accept
bets over the phone and the internet. There is a possibility that competition from interstate and international operators may extend further to the Group’s retail wagering network in the future.
• Race fields arrangements implemented in each State and Territory of Australia remain largely unchanged.
• Growth rates used to extrapolate cash flows are either in line with or do not exceed the long term average growth rate for the industry in which the CGU operates.
• Discount rates applied are based on the post tax weighted average cost of capital applicable to the relevant CGU.
• Terminal growth rate used is in line with the forecast long term underlying growth rate in Consumer Price Index.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES For the year ended 30 June 2021
C3 Impairment testing (continued)
The key estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair value less costs of disposal of a CGU are based on management’s current expectations after considering past experience
and external information, and are considered to be achievable.
The impairment assessment has determined the carrying value of the Gaming Services segment, including allocation of corporate assets, exceeded its recoverable amount at 30 June 2021.
As a result, an impairment charge against goodwill of $122m has been recognised in the income statement.
The COVID-19 pandemic and government restrictions have impacted this business to varying degrees, and in turn its financial and operational performance primarily due to the closure
of licensed venues and venue density requirements. The outlook for FY22 and beyond continues to be uncertain due to the timing of lifting of government imposed COVID-19 restrictions,
any potential longer term changes to consumer behaviour as an indirect result of the pandemic and reduced expectations for future growth and contract extensions in an uncertain
economic environment.
The carrying value of the Gaming Services segment has been impaired to its recoverable amount at 30 June 2021. Adverse movements in key assumptions may lead to further impairment.
At each balance date, in addition to goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, all non-current assets are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances
indicate they may be impaired. When an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal assessment of recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the income
statement for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s recoverable value cannot be estimated as
it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. In this case, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU, being assets
grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (brand names, broadcast rights and media content) acquired through business combinations have been allocated to each CGU
or group of CGUs expected to benefit from the business combination’s synergies for impairment testing.

C5 Leases
The Group has lease contracts for various properties, motor vehicles and other equipment with lease terms expiring from 1 to 12 years. Leases generally provide the Group with a right
of renewal at which time all terms are renegotiated. Lease payments comprise a base amount plus an incremental contingent rental. Contingent rentals are based on either movements
in the Consumer Price Index or are subject to market rate review.

When a contract is entered into, the Group assesses whether the contract contains a lease. A lease arises when the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset
for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At commencement of the lease, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset
and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.
Right-of-use assets are recognised at the commencement date of the lease, which is when the underlying assets are available for use. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less
any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities
recognised, initial direct costs incurred, any make good costs, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment.
Lease liabilities are recognised at the commencement date of the lease, measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term using the Group’s incremental
borrowing rate if the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Lease payments include fixed payments or variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate,
incorporating the Group’s expectations of extension options which is a key area of judgement. Option periods are only included in determining the lease term at inception when they
are reasonably certain to be exercised.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for lease payments made. Lease liabilities are remeasured when
there is a modification, a change in the lease term, or changes in future lease payments arising from a change in rates or index used to determine the payments.
Short term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets are recognised as an expense as incurred.

Premises provisions comprise make good provisions for leasehold properties requiring remedial work at the end of the lease arrangement.
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows
at a pre tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in
the provision due to the passage of time is recorded as a finance cost.
Employee benefits (short term) are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Employee benefits (long term) – the Group’s net obligation is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods.
The obligation is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they arise. This excludes pension plans.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Group controls an entity if and only if the Group has:
• power over the entity;
• exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity; and
• the ability to use its power over the entity to affect its returns.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial report from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars at the rate of the exchange prevailing at balance date, and their income statements are
translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Elimination of intragroup balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are undertaken in preparing the consolidated
financial statements.
All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given, and if acquired prior to 1 July 2009 included acquisition charges associated with the
investment. Subsequently investments are carried at cost less any impairment losses.
A joint arrangement is an arrangement over which the Group has joint control with other parties and is bound by a contractual arrangement. A joint arrangement is classified as either
a joint operation or a joint venture depending upon the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement.
• A joint operation is where the parties have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Group recognises in relation to its interest in a joint
operation its assets, including its share of assets held jointly; its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; its revenue including its share of revenue from the sale
of the output by the joint operation; and its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
• A joint venture is where the parties have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method,
the investment in a joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the joint
venture since acquisition date.

The parent entity did not have any capital expenditure commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment contracted but not provided for at 30 June 2021 or 30 June 2020.
Parent entity guarantees in respect of debts of its subsidiaries
The parent entity has entered into a deed of cross guarantee with the effect that the Company guarantees debts in respect of its subsidiaries. Further details of the deed of cross guarantee
and the subsidiaries subject to the deed, are set out in note D2.
Tax consolidation
Tabcorp Holdings Limited (the Head Company) and its 100% owned Australian tax resident subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidation group, and are therefore taxed as a single
entity. Members of the tax consolidation group entered into a tax sharing arrangement that provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the Head Company
default on its tax payment obligations. At balance date, the possibility of default is remote.
Members of the tax consolidation group have entered into a tax funding agreement which requires each member of the tax consolidation group to make a tax equivalent payment to or from
the Head Company, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of the member. These amounts are recognised as either an increase or decrease in the subsidiaries’ intercompany
accounts with the Head Company. Deferred taxes are recognised separately by each member of the tax consolidation group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: GROUP STRUCTURE For the year ended 30 June 2021
D4 Business combinations
Acquisition of Premier Gateway International Limited and Premier Gateway Services Limited
In February 2021, the Group purchased the remaining 50% ordinary shares of Premier Gateway International Limited and Premier Gateway Services Limited (PGI) from Phumelela Gold
International Limited (Phumelela) and obtained control over these entities. PGI operates an online wagering and betting business in the Isle of Man and was previously operated pursuant
to a joint venture arrangement between the Group and Phumelela. The acquisition complemented the Group’s existing Wagering and Media business.
(a) Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of PGI as at the date of the acquisition were:
Cash and cash equivalents
Receivables
Prepayments
Property, plant and equipment
Other intangible assets(i)
Payables
Net identifiable assets acquired
Goodwill arising on acquisition
Fair value of previously held equity interest (ii)
Purchase consideration transferred (cash)
(i) Intangible assets have a useful life of 5–8 years.
(ii) At the acquisition date, the Group’s existing 50% investment in PGI was remeasured to fair value and a gain of $35m was recognised in other income in the income statement.
At the acquisition date, the fair value and gross contractual amounts due from trade debtors was $24m. This amount was expected to be fully collectible at the acquisition date.
(b) Purchase consideration
The cash inflow on acquisition was:
Net cash acquired

Since the date of acquisition, the additional 50% investment in PGI has contributed $41m revenue and nil profit before income tax expense, after amortisation of the identifiable intangible
assets of $2m. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, the Group’s revenue and profit before income tax expense would have been $5,769m and $482m respectively.

2020
$m
29
During the year, the Group disposed of its 7,234,178 shares (11.6% interest) in Jumbo at a price of $13.52 per share, with a profit before tax impact of $69m. Jumbo is a retailer of official
government and charitable lotteries in Australia, and is listed on the ASX under the ticker ‘JIN’.
The equity accounted profit recognised during the year was nil (2020: $3m). Dividends received from Jumbo during the year were $1m (2020: $3m).
The above associate was incorporated in Australia. The Group did not have representation on the Board of Directors, although it did have the option to have representation. The Group did not
participate in the significant financial and operating decisions but has arrangements in place with the associate which are material to Jumbo’s operational financial performance. The Group
had therefore determined that it had significant influence over this entity. In the normal course of business, commission is paid to Jumbo for acting as an agent in regards to the sale of
lottery tickets.
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating
decisions of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method.
SECTION E – OTHER DISCLOSURES
E1 Employee share plans
The Company operates share plans which provide equity instruments to senior executives and management as a component of their remuneration.
Long Term Performance Plan (LTPP)
The LTPP is available at the most senior executive levels. Under the LTPP employees may become entitled to Performance Rights in the Company. Performance Rights are subject to a relative
total shareholder return (relative TSR) measure, a market vesting condition. A second performance measure (weighted 25%), being a non-market vesting condition, was introduced in the
grants from 2019 onwards.
The fair value of Performance Rights under each performance measure is determined at grant date by an external valuer and takes into account the terms and conditions upon which they
were granted. The fair value is recognised as an employee expense (with a corresponding increase in equity) over the vesting period.
For the relative TSR measure the fair value is recognised as an expense irrespective of whether the Performance Rights vest to the holder, and a reversal of the expense is only recognised
in the event the instruments lapse due to cessation of employment within the vesting period. For the second performance measure, the amount expensed is based on the expected number
of Performance Rights vesting, with the ultimate expense reflecting the actual Performance Rights that vest.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding Performance Rights is reflected in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
117
Tabcorp Annual Report 2021CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITYGOVERNANCEDIRECTORS’ REPORTREMUNERATION REPORTFINANCIAL REPORTOPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: OTHER DISCLOSURES For the year ended 30 June 2021
Short Term Performance Plan (STPP)
For senior management it is mandatory to defer 25% (50% for the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer) of their STPP into Restricted Shares, which are subject to a two year
service condition. The cost of the Restricted Shares is based on the market price at grant date and is recognised over the vesting period.
The maximum number of shares that can be outstanding at any time under these plans is limited to 5% of the Company’s issued capital.
The share based payments expense in respect of the equity instruments granted is recognised in the income statement for the period.
Further explanation of the share plans is disclosed in the Remuneration Report.

The Trustees are responsible for the governance and administration of the funds, the management and investment of the fund assets and compliance with other applicable regulations.
The defined benefit fund assets are invested with independent fund managers and have a diversified asset mix. The funds have no significant concentration of investment risk or liquidity risk.
The Group’s total defined benefit obligation is not materially sensitive to changes in assumptions.
120
Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 Defined benefit plans are recognised in the balance sheet as the difference between the present value of the estimated future benefits that will be payable to plan members and the fair
value of the plan’s assets. An annual adjustment is made to recognise all movements in the carrying amount of the plan in the income statement, except for the portion of the movement
that is attributable to actuarial gains and losses, which are recognised directly in equity. Actuarial gains and losses represent the difference between previous actuarial assumptions of
future outcomes and the actual outcome, in addition to the effect of changes in actuarial assumptions.

E4 Contingencies
Details of contingencies where the probability of future payments is not considered remote are set out below as well as details of contingencies, which although considered remote,
the Directors consider should be disclosed as they are not disclosed elsewhere in the notes to the financial statements.
Contingent assets
(a) Australian Taxation Office Audit
During the year the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) issued Tatts Group Limited (Tatts) (a wholly owned subsidiary of Tabcorp) with an amended assessment for the tax year ended 30 June
2016. The amended assessment relates to the deductibility of the licence fee incurred by Tatts in relation to monitoring gaming machines in New South Wales. The primary amount in dispute
of $62m and interest charges of $9m were paid in December 2020. An objection was lodged with the ATO in January 2021 in relation to the amended assessment and a Notice of Decision
was issued in June 2021 disallowing the objection. Tatts intends to appeal this decision. If Tatts is ultimately successful in its claim, the Company expects that the amended assessment
amounts will be refunded.
Contingent liabilities
(a) Charge
A controlled entity, Tabcorp Wagering Participant (Vic) Pty Ltd, which is a participant in the joint venture outlined in note E5(a), has entered into a deed of cross charge with its joint venture
partner to cover the non payment of a called sum in the event of the joint venture incurring a loss. The charge is over undistributed and future earnings of the joint venture to the level of the
unpaid call.
(b) Legal challenges
There are outstanding legal actions on foot and other potential legal exposures between controlled entities and third parties at 30 June 2021. It is expected that any liabilities arising from
such legal action or other potential exposures would not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position, except as set out below.
(c) Racing Queensland Dispute
On 28 June 2019 Racing Queensland (RQ) commenced legal proceedings against the Company and UBET Qld Limited (UBET). RQ is seeking damages and other relief. The proceedings are
in relation to two interrelated disputes relating to the calculation of fees following the introduction of the point of consumption tax in Queensland on 1 October 2018. The Company and UBET
currently consider, on the balance of probability, that no provision for liability is required. The relevant variable fees are paid monthly. If the Company and UBET are ultimately unsuccessful
in the proceedings, the estimated financial impact covering the 33 month period to 30 June 2021 is an expense of up to $66m post tax (30 June 2020: $44m post tax). The impact of the
alleged underpayment on the relevant variable fees would extend until June 2044 when the relevant deed expires.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2021 E8 Other accounting policies
(a) Statement of compliance
(i) Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
A number of new and amended accounting standards became mandatorily applicable for the Group for the first time in the current financial year. The adoption of these new and amended
standards had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group, or the disclosures included in this Financial Report.
The IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) recently issued an agenda decision providing guidance on the treatment of costs for configuring or customising a supplier’s application software
in a Software as a Service (Saas) arrangement, where the customer is provided with the right to receive access to the supplier’s application software over a contracted term, and for which no
intangible asset is recognised as the customer does not have control of the software. Entities are required to assess whether any configuration or customisation costs incurred result in an
intangible asset, by considering if these activities create a resource controlled by the entity which is separate from the software, and from which the entity has the power to obtain economic
benefit, and restrict others’ access to these benefits. If no intangible asset can be recognised, these costs are expensed when the services are deemed to be received. The adoption of the
agenda decision did not have a material effect on the Group’s Financial Report.
(ii) New Australian Accounting Standards or International Financial Reporting Standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new and amended accounting standards and interpretations have been recently issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board but not yet effective. These new or
amended accounting standards and interpretations have not been early adopted and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
(b) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
• when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset
or as part of the expense item as applicable;
• wagering and certain Keno revenues, due to the GST being offset against government taxes; and
• receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from,
or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(c) Foreign currency translation and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at balance date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange
differences arising on translation are recognised in the income statement with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that are in an effective hedge relationship.
These are taken directly to equity until the liability is extinguished at which time they are recognised in the income statement. Refer to note B4 for further detail.
Non monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Non monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair
value was determined.

The Tabcorp-Tatts combination was implemented in December 2017,
therefore FY18 includes approximately six months contribution from
the Tatts business, and FY19 represents the first full financial year for
the combined group.
(i) FY19 has been restated to reflect the impact of the application
of AASB 16 Leases which was adopted in FY20. Periods prior
to FY19 have not been restated.
(ii) Periods since FY18 (which was restated) reflect the impact of the
application of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
(iii) Includes impairment of:
FY21: Goodwill – $122m and other assets – $10m.
FY20: Goodwill – $1,090m and other assets – $43m.
FY19: Other assets – ($4)m.
FY18: Other assets – $39m.
FY17: Other assets – $28m.
(iv) Dividends attributable to the year, but which may be payable after
the end of the period.
(v) Net operating cash flow per the cash flow statement does not
include payments for property plant and equipment and
intangibles, whereas these items are included in the calculation
for the operating cash flow per share ratio.
(vi) Total shareholder return (TSR) is calculated from 1 July to 30 June.
The share price used for calculating TSR is the volume weighted
average share price used in the Tabcorp Dividend Reinvestment
Plan (DRP). Where no DRP was in operation, the closing share
price on the dividend payment date is used.
(vii) Revenue includes both external and internal revenue.
(viii) Prior to FY18, this was the Keno segment.
(ix) The lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) is the number
of lost time injuries per million hours worked.
Tabcorp Annual Report 2021
SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION As at 30 July 2021
Securities on issue
Tabcorp has on issue 2,221,617,545 fully paid ordinary shares (shares) which are quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the code TAH. The issued capital has increased
since 30 June 2020 due to shares issued under the 1 for 11 pro rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer which concluded in September 2020, and shares issued pursuant to
Tabcorp’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. These shares represent the only Company securities quoted on the ASX. There currently isn’t a share buy-back in operation in respect of the
Company’s shares.
Tabcorp also has 6,690,311 Performance Rights issued to executives pursuant to Tabcorp’s Long Term Incentive Plan which are not quoted on the ASX.
During FY21, a total of 123,965 shares were acquired on market at an average price of $4.76 per share pursuant to Tabcorp’s employee incentive plans.
Shareholding restrictions
There are a number of restrictions applying to shareholdings in Tabcorp, which arise under legislation, requirements of various regulatory authorities and in the Company’s Constitution.
Some of these restrictions limit the number of shares and/or voting power in the Company that can be held by a shareholder. In particular, the Company’s Constitution (to be read in
conjunction with applicable legislation) contains restrictions prohibiting a person from having voting power in the Company in excess of 10% without obtaining the written consent of relevant
Government Ministers in NSW and Queensland. In addition, legislative change to the Totalizator Act 1997 (NSW) (and related legislation) would also be required in order for a person to hold
in excess of 10% of the shares in the Company (or the NSW Wagering Licence holder, TAB Limited). The Company may refuse to register any transfer of shares which would contravene
relevant shareholding restrictions or require divestiture of the shares that cause an individual to exceed the shareholding restrictions.
Voting rights
Shares issued by Tabcorp carry one vote per share. Performance Rights do not carry any rights to vote at general meetings of the Company’s shareholders. Failure to comply with certain
provisions of the Victorian Gambling Regulation Act 2003 or Tabcorp’s Constitution, including the shareholder restrictions discussed above, may result in suspension of voting rights.
