and Media and Gaming Services 
businesses heavily impacted in the 
first half of the year by retail and 
venue shutdowns in our largest 
markets of NSW and Victoria. In 
addition, unprecedented wet 
weather in the second half  
led to a record number of race 
abandonments and rain affected 
race tracks further impacting our 
Wagering and Media business.

Tabcorp reported net profit after 
tax (NPAT) of $6,775.9m in FY22, 
which included a one-off net gain  
on the Demerger of $6,513.8m 
after tax and other non-recurring 
significant items(i). In the previous 
year, Tabcorp reported NPAT  
of $269.4m. 

Revenues for the Group were 
$5,605.5m, down 1.4%,  
and revenues from continuing 
operations were $2,373.3m,  
down 4.3% on the previous year.

Group EBITDA from continuing 
operations before significant 
items(i) was $381.6m, down from 
$487.2m in the previous year.

The Group recorded a net loss 
before income tax and finance 
costs from continuing operations 
of $75.1m, compared to a profit  
of $66.9m for the previous year.

Pleasingly, following the end of 
COVID-19 related lockdowns, the 
performance of Wagering and 
Media and Gaming Services 
improved. Importantly, we are 
seeing stabilisation in our 
wagering digital market share.

Dividend and a disciplined 
approach to cost

Tabcorp announced a final 
dividend of 6.5 cents per share 
fully franked. The final dividend 
reflects five months of earnings 
from the demerged Lotteries and 
Keno business, and a full six 
months of earnings from Tabcorp’s 
continuing businesses. Dividends 
payable in respect of the full year 
totalled 13.0 cents per share fully 
franked, representing a payout 
ratio of 80% of NPAT before 
significant items. 

In FY22, the Group’s enterprise-
wide optimisation program ‘3S’ 
was completed, delivering a 
further $23m of EBIT savings from 
continuing operations. Pleasingly, 
the continuing operations of the 
Group contributed over 75% of  
the savings over the life of the 
program. 

Cost discipline remains a priority 
for the Group, and we have 
established the new Genesis 

program to improve organisational 
efficiency and support the 
management of cost growth within 
a high inflationary environment.

We’re Raising the Game

Following the Demerger, we  
have commenced a multi-year 
transformation of Tabcorp.  
We have a clear strategy that  
is focused on growth and we  
are working at pace to transform 
Tabcorp into a more competitive 
and profitable digital wagering 
and integrity services business.

We showed in our first month 
following the Demerger what  
we can achieve with this new 
approach. Proposed reforms  
to the Queensland wagering 
industry announced by the 
Queensland Government will, 
when implemented, ensure 
Tabcorp no longer pays more 
wagering taxes and fees than 
Northern Territory licensed  
online wagering operators in  
that state. We also welcome  
the announcements in NSW and 
ACT of changes in the Point of 
Consumption Tax (POCT) rate  
in those states. These reforms 
are a positive first step towards 
allowing us to compete on  
a level playing field.

(i)   Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) from continuing operations and before significant items  
    is non-IFRS financial information. For details of significant items, refer to page 13. 

Bruce Akhurst

Chairman and independent  
Non-Executive Director

Adam Rytenskild

Managing Director and  
Chief Executive Officer

The 2021/22 financial year (FY22) 
was an historic year for Tabcorp. 

On 1 June 2022, the Company 
successfully implemented the 
demerger of its former Lotteries 
and Keno business, which is  
now operated by the ASX listed 
company The Lottery Corporation 
Limited (Demerger). The Demerger 
was completed on time and  
with strong support from our 
shareholders.

We are confident the Demerger 
will create value for shareholders, 
with each business now able to 
adopt more focused operating 
structures and strategies, and 

shareholders better able  
to value each business on  
a standalone value.

Tabcorp’s results for FY22 includes 
the activities and results for our 
continuing operations comprising 
the Wagering and Media and 
Gaming Services businesses for 
the full year, as well as the former 
Lotteries and Keno business for 
the 11 month period until 1 June 
2022 (treated as discontinued 
operations in this report).

During FY22, the COVID-19 
pandemic continued to disrupt our 
business, with both the Wagering

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022We have commenced the staged 
rollout of the new TAB App, which 
will be simpler, faster and marks 
the beginning of a new era for the 
TAB experience. We plan to follow 
this up with new product releases 
and an improved customer 
experience that will enhance our 
competitiveness.

Our Gaming Services business 
has begun to pivot towards our 
unique capabilities in providing 
integrity services to governments 
that are increasingly in demand. 
We are engaged in a sale process 
for our eBet business following  
a strategic review process.

Renewed Board and 
Leadership Team

Upon implementation of the 
Demerger, Steven Gregg retired  
as Chairman and Non-Executive 
Director (NED) of Tabcorp, and 
Harry Boon and Anne Brennan 
also retired as NEDs to join The 
Lottery Corporation Limited Board. 
We’d like to thank them for their 
contributions to Tabcorp.

Bruce Akhurst was appointed the 
new Tabcorp Chairman and three  
new NEDs were appointed to  
the Board. Raelene Murphy and  
Brett Chenoweth were formally 
appointed to the Board in August, 

having served as Board Observers 
since 1 June 2022. Karen Stocks 
also joined the Board on 1 June 
2022 as an Observer and will be 
appointed a NED pending receipt 
of regulatory approvals. Our new 
Board is diverse and brings a 
breadth of knowledge and 
experience aligned with our new 
strategy and growth priorities. 

David Attenborough retired as 
Tabcorp MD & CEO after 11 years 
and Adam Rytenskild was 
appointed our new MD & CEO, 
effective 1 June 2022. We thank 
David for his leadership and 
contributions to Tabcorp. A new 
Executive Leadership Team has 
also been appointed, with new 
capability and a broad set of skills 
across customer, digital products, 
technology and media.

Sustainability 

Tabcorp is committed to putting 
our customers first and delivering 
experiences that are enjoyed safely 
and responsibly. We aim to set the 
benchmark for sustainability  
and in FY22 Tabcorp adopted a  
new Sustainability Framework,  
to be overseen by the Risk, 
Compliance and Sustainability 
Committee. Our new approach  
to sustainability puts responsible 
gambling and caring for our 

customers at the centre of how  
we operate, and underpins our 
commitment to communities, our 
people and ensuring we operate 
our business sustainably for the 
long-term.

Our continuing progress in 
sustainability was recognised  
in FY22, with Tabcorp ranked  
first globally in the Casinos and 
Gambling sector in the Dow Jones 
Sustainability Index (DJSI) World 
and DJSI Australia Indices for the 
second successive year.

In FY22, we continued to enhance 
our customer care technology and 
human-led tools, creating an early 
intervention model to proactively 
contact customers and offer 
responsible gambling tools to 
assist customers. Looking ahead 
we will continue to invest in 
customer care and evolve our 
practices to ensure we lead the 
industry in safe and responsible 
gambling practices. 

At a community level, we 
continued our strategic 
partnerships with many  
local racing and community 
organisations. We also adopted 
an Environment and Climate 
Change Position Statement 
formalising our commitment to 
minimising our impact on the 

environment and set medium  
and long-term emission reduction 
targets aligned with the Paris 
Agreement goals. 

Our People 

We would like to acknowledge  
our people who have done a 
remarkable job in successfully 
delivering the Demerger while  
also working through the  
ongoing challenges of COVID-19. 
Throughout this period our  
people have remained steadfastly 
committed to delivering 
outstanding experiences for  
our customers.

We’re building a new culture at 
Tabcorp and our people are key  
to our transformation strategy. In 
FY23 we will begin implementing 
the changes required to create a 
more engaging and easier place 
to work so we can move faster,  
be bold and win.

Conclusion

We want to thank our shareholders 
for your ongoing support. 

This is the beginning of a multi-
year transformation of Tabcorp 
into a stronger, more competitive 
business led by a renewed Board 
and leadership team. 

In the first twelve weeks since  
the Demerger we’ve made good 
progress and have positive early 
momentum in transforming 
Tabcorp into a more competitive 
and growing business. We have  
a clear plan including specific 
actionable priorities for FY23, 
which we are executing at pace.

We look forward to updating 
shareholders on our progress  
at Tabcorp’s Annual General 
Meeting in October.

COMPETITIVENESS
We are seeking to address inequities in our license and regulatory environment to create a more 
sustainable industry in the long run.

Level the Playing Field

Change the way we  
participate in the domestic  
wagering category

Harmonise Regulations

–   Proactively engage to reshape licences 

that level the playing field

–   Selectively pursue licence structures that 

maximise economic value

Work towards  
driving national  
regulatory reform

–   Promote a unified national regulatory 
framework making our participation 
simpler and more efficient

–    Improve approvals processes and speed  

to market for new products

Tabcorp is one of the largest financial contributors to the Australian racing and wagering industry. Our taxes, licence fees and arrangements support  
a vibrant local racing industry, Australian jobs, and retail venues such as pubs and clubs. Around 55% of Tabcorp’s FY22 revenue(i) was returned to 
governments, racing industry and retail partners, totalling $1.5b(i). In contrast, other corporate bookmakers contribute only 43% of their revenue in  
the form of taxes and fees(ii).

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022REVIEW OF FY22 RESULTS 

Demerger

Group results

On 1 June 2022, Tabcorp 
successfully implemented the 
demerger of its former Lotteries 
and Keno business, which is now 
operated by the ASX listed 
company The Lottery Corporation 
Limited (Demerger).

Following the Demerger, the 
Group comprises two operating 
businesses, which represent the 
Group’s continuing operations:

•  Wagering and Media

•  Gaming Services

The Demerger process 
commenced following the 
conclusion of a strategic review 
conducted over March to July in 
2021, where the Board evaluated 
various structural and ownership 
options to maximise value for 
Tabcorp shareholders.

On 12 May 2022, at a General 
Meeting and Scheme Meeting  
of Tabcorp, shareholders voted 
overwhelmingly to approve the 
Demerger. Eligible Tabcorp 
shareholders received one share 
in The Lottery Corporation for 
every share held in Tabcorp.

Tabcorp continues to provide 
certain transitional services to  
The Lottery Corporation under the 
terms of a Transitional Services 
Agreement for an initial term of  
up to 14 months. The majority  
of these services relate to 
information technology and 
related services(i).

The former Lotteries and  
Keno business is disclosed  
as discontinued operations  
in this report.

The financial results of the 
Tabcorp Group for the financial 
year ended 30 June 2022 (FY22) 
relate to the Tabcorp Group’s 
operations, which includes the 
activities and results for these 
continuing operations throughout 
FY22 and the discontinued 
operations for the 11 month  
period until 1 June 2022.

The Group reported revenues  
for FY22 from continuing and 
discontinued operations of 
$5,605.5m, down 1.4% on the 
previous year. Revenues from 
continuing operations were 
$2,373.3m, down 4.3% on the 
previous year.

Group NPAT was $6,775.9m, 
which includes a one-off net gain  
on Demerger of $6,513.8m after 
tax and other significant items(ii).  
In the previous year, Tabcorp 
reported NPAT of $269.4m.

The Group reported a net loss 
before income tax and finance 
costs from continuing operations 
of $75.1m, compared to a profit  
of $66.9m for the previous year. 

Group EBITDA from continuing 
operations before significant  
items(ii) (iii) was $381.6m, down from 
$487.2m in the previous year.

The FY22 results for the 
continuing operations were heavily 
impacted by COVID-19 related 
retail closures in the Group’s 
largest markets of NSW and 
Victoria in the first half of the 
financial year (1H22) as well as  
wet weather impacts in the 
second half of the year (2H22)  
that led to a record number  
of race abandonments and  
rain affected race tracks. 

Refer to pages 22 to 28  
for further details about the 
performance of each continuing 
operating business.

In FY22, the Group completed its 
enterprise-wide ‘3S’ optimisation 
program, delivering a further 
$23m of EBIT savings from 
continuing operations. The 
continuing business operations  
of the Group contributed over 
75% of the savings over the  
life of the program.

activities underway across the 
business to enable the Group to 
contain cost growth in a high 
inflationary environment.

REVIEW OF FY22 RESULTS CONTINUED

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. 

As part of the Demerger process, 
Tabcorp’s previous US Private 
Placement notes were cancelled 
and equivalent notes were issued 
by The Lottery Corporation to 
those note holders.

Tabcorp’s post-Demerger capital 
structure has been developed 
having regard to its business 

requirements, earnings profile  
and cash flow generation profile. 

The Company has a strong 
balance sheet, and $950m  
of committed bank facilities.  
The Group’s average debt maturity 
is approximately 4.15 years.

Gearing(i) is 0.5x as at 30 June 
2022, and is projected to move 
into the target range of 1.0-1.5x 
after several upcoming payments, 
including the final dividend, 
remaining Demerger costs  
of approximately $55m, and 
Queensland payments(ii) (litigation 
settlement of $150m and final 
wagering licence installment  
of $37.5m).

Dividends

A final dividend for FY22 of  
6.5 cents per share fully franked  
has been announced. The final 
dividend reflects five months  
of earnings from the now 
discontinued Lotteries and Keno 
business, and a full six months  
of earnings for Tabcorp’s 
continuing Wagering and Media, 
and Gaming Services businesses.

The final dividend will be  
payable on 23 September 2022  
to shareholders registered at  
1 September 2022. The ex-
dividend date is 31 August 2022.

The interim and final dividends 
payable in respect of FY22 totalled 
13.0 cents per share fully franked. 
This equates to a FY22 dividend 
payout ratio of 80% of NPAT 
before significant items. 

The Dividend Reinvestment Plan 
will operate in respect of the  
FY22 final dividend, with a 2.5% 
discount applicable.

The table below shows the 
dividends paid, declared or 
recommended by the Company 
since the end of the previous 
financial year.

dividends may be found in note

Review of FY22 
performance

In FY22, Wagering and Media 
revenues were $2,181.9m, down 
5.1%, and EBIT was $91.0m,
down 57.8%. 

Wagering revenues were  
$1,727.5m, down 11.7%. 

The business was heavily 
impacted by COVID-19 related 
retail closures in 1H22 in the 
business’s largest markets of 
NSW and Victoria.

In addition, wet weather in 2H22 
led to a record number of race 
abandonments and rain affected 
race tracks.

Given the challenging market 
conditions, TAB retail wagering 
turnover declined 22.9%. A 
customer’s ability to transact 
digitally in-venue and to make 
account deposits are key drivers 
of digital turnover. Despite neither 
of these factors being possible for 
substantial periods during the year, 
TAB digital turnover grew 2.5%. 

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022Active digital customers remained 
stable at 783,000 and digital 
in-venue turnover grew 7.4%, to 
$569m, driven by Venue Mode, 
despite the impacts of retail 
closures.

Market conditions remained 
competitive throughout the period, 
in particular during 1H22 when  
the wagering market was 
predominantly digital. This 
resulted in increased customer 
generosities in FY22. This 
investment in generosities was 
maintained through 2H22 at a 
higher rate than in 2H21, but  
lower than 1H22 levels.

The re-opening of venues from 
the second quarter of FY22 
resulted in promising signs of 
recovery in 2H22, reinforcing the 
fact that Tabcorp’s omni-channel 

wagering offering performs best 
when all channels are fully 
operational.

Media and International revenues 
were $454.4m, up 33.2%.

The Sky Media business 
continued to expand racing and 
sport content and its distribution 
through digital and retail formats. 
The number of Sky Racing active 
registered customers (life to date) 
increased 20.3% to 71,000 at  
the end of FY22, and Sky venue 
subscriptions were stable,  
down 0.7%.

The performance of the 
International business benefited 
from the first full year of 
ownership of PGI, and higher 
vision export revenues.

Operating expenses for Wagering 
and Media grew 5.1%, due to 
cycling cash preservation and cost 
reduction measures in the prior 
year, increased technology 
investment (including in the 
development of the new TAB 
App), partially offset by savings 
from the 3S program.

POCT rate which is a step towards 
establishing a sustainable industry 
funding structure in those states. 
These reforms are positive 
developments in leveling the 
playing field and will enable  
TAB to compete more effectively 
and support a more sustainable 
racing industry.

In FY22, Tabcorp continued  
to focus on driving positive 
industry change with partners  
and governments. In June 2022, 
the Queensland Government 
announced proposed reforms to 
the Queensland wagering industry 
which, when implemented, will 
result in Tabcorp paying wagering 
taxes and racing product fees  
on the same basis as our 
competitors. This was followed by 
announcements in NSW and ACT 
of proposed increases to the 

In FY23, Tabcorp is focused on 
transforming the Wagering and 
Media business into a more 
competitive and profitable 
business, and executing on a 
number of key deliverables at 
pace. This includes the launch  
of the new TAB App (targeted for 
September 2022), follow on new 
product releases, and improving 
our customer experience and 
marketing effectiveness.

Review of FY22 
performance

In FY22, Gaming Services 
revenues were $192.9m, up 5.3% 
and EBIT was $3.8m, up from a 
loss of $9.7m in the prior year.

Max Integrated Systems develops 
and markets a range of 
technology solutions and system 
enhancements for venues to 
improve venue efficiency and 
performance.

Revenues for Max Venue Services 
were $119.3m, up 20.0% reflecting 
fewer lost days of trading due to 
COVID-19 related venue closures 
in Victoria, the business’s largest 
market. 

The business provided significant 
COVID-related fee relief to 
customers through most of 1H22, 
and returned to the full fee model 
from 1 December 2021.

Operating expenses grew 5.8%  
to $107.2m, due to the cycling 
one-off cash preservation and 
cost reduction opportunities  
in the prior period.

The Gaming Services business 
has begun to pivot towards Max 
Regulatory Services and the 
opportunity to provide our integrity 
services capability to government.

Following a strategic review 
process, we are engaging in a 
sale process of the eBet business. 
eBet is a supplier of loyalty and 
tracking systems to gaming 
venues in Victoria and NSW 
within Max Integrated Systems.

Max Venue Services is pursuing  
a capital light model focused on 
generating consistent near term 
free cashflow through the renewal 
of contracts toward a more 
advisory led model combined with 
the sale of machines to venues 
that don’t extend their contracts. 
Approximately 50% of Victorian 
EGM contracts have been 
renewed (generally to 2027 to 
2030) on a full service model, 
approximately 10% of EGM 
contracts will be extended on  
a new advisory-only model, and 
the remaining balance of EGM 
contracts will not be extended.

Sustainability is at the heart of  
our business operations and our 
vision of Raising the Game. Our 
mission is to deliver experiences 
safely and responsibly and set  
the benchmark for sustainability  
in our industry. 

Despite another challenging year 
with COVID-19 and navigating the 
complexities of the Demerger, we 
continued to make good progress 
towards our goal of being a leader 
in sustainability in our industry.  

In FY22, Tabcorp was recognised  
for its continued improvements  
in sustainability performance and 
disclosure, ranking first globally in 
the Casinos and Gambling sector 
in the Dow Jones Sustainability 
Index (DJSI) World and DJSI 
Australia Indices for the second 
successive year. Tabcorp has also 
been independently assessed 
according to the FTSE4Good 
criteria and continued to be a 
member of the FTSE4Good Index.

Following the Demerger, and an 
extensive process of engagement 
across our business and with key 
stakeholders, we adopted a new 
Sustainability Framework 
(Framework). The Framework is 
aligned with our new enterprise 
strategy, with customer care at the 
centre and a strong focus on 
community, our people and 
sustainable business practices. 
The Framework builds upon our 
good progress in recent years and 
will help us to create long term 
value in the management of our 

environmental, social and 
governance (ESG) risks and 
opportunities.

During the year we also  
aligned our Framework and 
sustainability disclosures with  
the United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDGs). 

To support the implementation 
and oversight of our new 
Sustainability Framework  
and monitor the management  
and reporting of our progress,  

we enhanced our sustainability 
governance by incorporating 
sustainability into the remit of the 
renamed Board Risk, Compliance 
and Sustainability Committee 
(effective 1 July 2022).

Looking ahead, we will continue to 
evolve our sustainability practices 
as we work closely with our 
industry partners and stakeholders 
to deliver leading practices and 
outcomes.

Our detailed ESG approach and performance will be disclosed in our 2022 Sustainability Report which will be available at www.tabcorp.com.au

Customers are, and always will be, at the heart of our business. We’re committed 
to putting our customers first, delivering experiences safely and responsibly, and 
supporting a well-regulated and responsible industry. 

At Tabcorp, we’re committed to being a leader in promoting responsible gambling, and support 
consumer protection initiatives for responsible advertising.

It’s our goal to equip our customers with the tools, information and resources to help them make 
informed decisions about how they gamble. Our approach to customer care and the responsible 
provision of our products is underpinned by our Customer Care Principles.

We take responsible gambling seriously. More than simply following the letter of the law, we strive  
to actively minimise potential harm to customers.

This means working with our partners on initiatives such as education campaigns, self-exclusion 
programs, research and supporting counselling services.

In FY22, we continued to invest in initiatives to protect our customers:

•   Implemented a new system to enhance our ability to pro-actively detect potential self-excluded 

customers attempting to open accounts

•   Enhanced our Early Intervention Model to proactively contact customers that may be exhibiting 

early signs of problem gambling and offer support where required

•   Developed additional Responsible Gambling training for our customer facing team members

•   Introduced new Customer Care metrics to support the reporting and monitoring of Customer Care 

•   Improved visibility and durability of Responsible Gambling signage in our retail venues

We believe we have the right foundations and will continue Raising the Game on Customer Care, 
with work underway on a range of customer-centric initiatives designed to support our customers  
and minimise potential harm from problem gambling. We will report our progress in our 2022 
Sustainability Report, which will be available on our website at www.tabcorp.com.au.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022Environment and Climate Change Position Statement

We recognise our business has an impact on the environment, directly 
through our operations, and indirectly through our value chain. We are 
committed to minimising adverse environmental impacts through our 
operations and the delivery of our products and services. 

Carbon emission reduction targets: 
•  45% in operating emissions by 2030 from 2019 levels
•  Net zero by 2050

Climate change is a significant global challenge and we are committed to reducing our 
greenhouse gas emissions profile and identifying and managing climate related risks and 
opportunities across our business. In September 2021, we formalised this commitment by 
adopting our Environment and Climate Change Position Statement and by setting medium 
and long term greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets aligned with the Paris 
Agreement goals. 

In FY22, we continued our efforts to reduce our environmental impact by using less 
electricity in our properties, recycling or donating office equipment, introducing hybrid 
vehicles in our fleet, reducing the volume of stationery we use and encouraging team 
members to minimise their impacts on the environment. 

Looking ahead, we are progressing work to set a new baseline for our environmental 
footprint post-Demerger and finalise the development of a ‘Net Zero’ roadmap to support 
our emission reduction targets.

Tabcorp’s Environment and Climate Change Position Statement is available from  
our website at www.tabcorp.com.au/sustainability/sustainable-future

Further details on Tabcorp’s environmental footprint and progress against the 
Environment and Climate Change Position Statement, aligned with the Taskforce on 
Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, will be available in

RISK MANAGEMENT AND MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS

Tabcorp adopts a structured and proactive approach to understanding, identifying and managing risk 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, Compliance and 
Sustainability 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 and compliance management and governance, 
refer to Tabcorp’s 2022 Corporate Governance Statement.

Outlined below are risks that could potentially have a material impact at a whole-of-Group level on the future 
operating or financial performance or prospects of the Group, together with existing mitigations.

Breach of laws  
and licences, and 
compliance and 
conduct risks

The Group’s businesses, as well as third parties that distribute the 
Group’s products and services, including agencies and retail venues, 
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 (including any exclusivity arrangements), 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 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.

Risk

Description and potential consequences

Mitigations employed 

Licences, approvals 
and other 
arrangements

The conduct of wagering 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, including any exclusivity arrangements) may 
have an adverse impact on the financial position, performance and 
operations of the Group.

The Group’s media business holds rights to broadcast, and has 
agreements in place to distribute, various race meetings domestically 
and internationally. The loss of, or failure to renew those arrangements 
on materially the same or similar terms, may have an adverse impact 
on the operational and financial performance of the Group’s wagering 
and media business.

•  The Group operates 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.

•  The Group engages closely with holders of broadcast rights and distribution partners 

and actively seeks to extend those arrangements in advance of their expiry.

Changes in laws  
and the regulatory 
environment

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.

•  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.

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.

•  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.

Risk

Description and potential consequences

Mitigations employed 

Litigation, disputes 
and investigations 

Consumer 
discretionary 
spending and 
preferences 

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. 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. If the 
Group does not adequately respond to competition for consumers’ 
discretionary expenditure, or an existing or new competitor of the 
Group adapts to changes more rapidly, this could result in a loss of 
market share or missed opportunities for growth, and have an adverse 
impact on the Group’s financial performance.

•  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 businesses 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 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

Description and potential consequences

Mitigations employed 

Competition and 
disruption

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.

•  As noted above, the Group operates businesses 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.

Financial and  
balance sheet  
risks

The Group is exposed to various financial and trading risks arising from 
operating its Wagering and Media business, including risks associated 
with a failure to appropriately set odds in respect of wagering so as to 
maintain sufficient capital.

•  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.

•  The Group has adopted a Sustainability Framework, with various activities and 

programs in place aligned with the Group’s material ESG topics.

•  Refer to the sections titled “Capital Management” on page 14 and “Capital and risk 

management” on pages 102 to 111.

The Group is also 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, each of which could impact its financing activities. In addition, 
changes in investor, financier and other stakeholder expectations  
in relation to environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG) 
practices and disclosures may adversely impact the Group’s ability to 
access capital or other financing in future, or to do so on reasonable 
financial terms, which could in turn adversely affect the financial 
position and performance of the Group.

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.

Risk

Description and potential consequences

Mitigations employed 

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 an increasingly remote 
workforce increases the cyber attack surface and opportunistic 
criminals seek to exploit organisations’ cyber defenses. Additionally, 
ransomware cyber-attacks on companies across the world continue  
to 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.

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 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.

•  Tabcorp has policies, procedures, practices, frameworks and resources in place to 

manage data security, privacy, and related risks.

•  A dedicated Cyber Security Information Team 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.

•  Tabcorp has in place a multi-year cyber security uplift program, focused on the 

protection of customer data and company-held sensitive information against external 
threats.

•  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. The Group also a Data Breach Response Plan that 
sets out procedures for employees to follow in the event of an actual or suspected data 
breach.

•  The Board Technology Committee oversees the Group’s technology strategy and 

priorities, including major technology investments to address the Group’s technology 
and cybersecurity risks.

•  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.

Racing and sports 
products

Changes in race 
fields and sports 
product fees and 
taxes

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.

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 and Media or Gaming Services 
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.

•  As noted above, the Group operates a portfolio of businesses with operations spanning 
multiple jurisdictions and market segments, which reduces the reliance on any single 
revenue stream 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 providing limited cover for major disruptions. 

•  The Group performs financial modelling and sensitivity analysis to monitor and  

respond to the impacts of racing and sport product supply disruptions.

•  The Group currently has contracts in place that the Group considers will allow  

it to offset or share some of the race field fees or offer additional protections under  
the respective arrangements.

•  The Group endeavours to maintains strong relationships with industry controlling 

bodies, other industry partners and governments, and engages with them in respect  
of proposed changes to industry funding arrangements, fees and other taxes and levies.

•  Where possible, the Group seeks to enter into contracts with racing and sports 
controlling bodies that provide long term certainty of commercial arrangements.

Description and potential consequences

Mitigations employed 

Disruption or decline 
of licensed venues, 
agencies and retail 
network

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, 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, an epidemic or 
pandemic outbreak (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), or a 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 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.

COVID-19 and other 
pandemics or 
epidemics

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and government restrictions and 
further strains such as Omicron 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. 

•  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.

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, supply chains and the global sporting 
and racing calendar have had, and may have, an adverse effect on 
Tabcorp and its financial performance. There is also no certainty as  
to whether further COVID-19 outbreaks or the emergence of another 
epidemic or pandemic will have a material impact on these matters.

The long term impacts from COVID-19 on general economic or industry 
conditions, consumer discretionary spending and consumer confidence 
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

Description and potential consequences

Mitigations employed 

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),  
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.

Changes in societal attitudes and/or adverse media attention in 
relation to gambling or other ESG issues relevant to Tabcorp, or a 
failure by the Group to deliver its gambling products responsibly in 
accordance with Group policies, relevant responsible gambling codes 
or regulator and/or community expectations, could lead to negative 
legal, regulatory and/or government policy changes, which could have 
an adverse effect on the performance of the Group, the delivery of its 
strategies, its ability to attract and retain talent and/or reputational 
damage for the Group.

•  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.

3. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

The Demerger of The Lottery Corporation Limited from Tabcorp was implemented on 1 June 2022 by way of a Scheme of Arrangement and associated capital reduction and dividend in 
accordance with Tabcorp’s Demerger Booklet dated 30 March 2022. The Demerger resulted in Tabcorp retaining its Wagering and Media business, and its Gaming Services business, 
while The Lottery Corporation Limited holds the Lotteries and Keno business previously held by Tabcorp. As a result of the Demerger, there were a number of changes to the composition  
of the Tabcorp Board which are described on pages 36 and 50.

Other than the Demerger 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 2021.

4. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

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.

The Directors and Officers of the Group are indemnified against liabilities pursuant to agreements with the Group. Members of the Group have entered into insurance contracts with third

at Cleanaway Limited, Alstom Limited and Melbourne Stadiums Limited. Chris holds a Bachelor of Laws (Honours), Bachelor of Commerce, a Graduate Diploma of Applied Corporate 
Governance and a Graduate Certificate in Applied Finance and Investment, and he is an Associate Member of the Governance Institute of Australia.

12. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

The Group’s environmental obligations are regulated under both state and federal laws. The Group complies with, or in many cases exceeds, its environmental performance obligations. 
During the financial year ended 30 June 2022, no environmental breaches have been notified to the Group by any government agency.

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 FY22, Tabcorp’s political contributions totalled $216,160 
(FY21: $186,940). 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, Directors’ Report and Remuneration Report have been rounded 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 resourced by Tabcorp, with specialist independent external support where necessary. In conjunction 
with organisational changes associated with the Demerger, Tabcorp adopted on an interim-basis a co-sourced internal audit model, with dedicated internal resources supplemented by 
independent external resources from KPMG. 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 2022. 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 
$1,558,000 in relation to the provision of other assurance services and $1,913,000 in relation  
to the provision of non-audit services to the Company in respect of the financial year ended  
30 June 2022. Of these services $1,290,000 and $1,662,751, respectively, relate to assurance  
and other services with respect to the Demerger which are non-recurring and are not expected  
to repeat in the near future. It is expected that the amount of other assurance and non-audit 
services fees will not continue at the levels observed in 2022. Amounts paid or payable by  
the Company for audit and non-statutory audit services are disclosed in note E6 to the  
Financial Report.

Shown opposite is a copy of the auditor’s independence declaration provided under section 
307C of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit for the financial year ended 30 June 
2022. This auditor’s independence declaration forms part of this Directors’ Report.

18. REMUNERATION REPORT

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)  For the year ended 30 June 2022

1. LETTER FROM THE PEOPLE AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Tabcorp Board of Directors, I’m pleased to present Tabcorp’s Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 (FY22). This report covers Tabcorp’s approach  
to remuneration for its Key Management Personnel (KMP), the link between performance and reward and the remuneration outcomes for KMP for FY22.

As for many organisations, FY22 was again impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the government enforced shutdowns. Tabcorp’s retail business was impacted for more weeks than 
any of the pandemic’s three years. This in conjunction with the devastating floods experienced in Queensland and NSW contributing to a record number of abandoned race meetings, 
impacted revenues significantly. Despite these challenges, Tabcorp completed FY22 in a sound financial position and our focus is now on executing our strategy to transform the business 
and pursue growth.

Key business achievements

On 1 June 2022, Tabcorp successfully implemented the demerger of the Lotteries and Keno businesses (Demerger) and created the separate ASX listed company The Lottery Corporation 
Limited (The Lottery Corporation). This was a significant transaction delivered within 11 months and with strong shareholder support. 

Following Demerger, a renewed Board and Executive Leadership Team commenced the implementation of Tabcorp’s transformation strategy to become a more competitive and innovative 
business over the next three years. 

In FY22, we made substantial progress in regulatory reform, including proposed reforms in Queensland that, when implemented, will see Tabcorp pay the same wagering taxes and fees  
as its competitors in Queensland. Tabcorp also secured significant steps towards a level taxation playing field in NSW, with the government committing to a review of the NSW Wagering 
Tax and Fees environment. 

From a product perspective, Tabcorp progressed the development of a new TAB App which is on target for launch in September, in time for the 2022 Spring Carnival. The new App will  
be the first of multiple upgrades as the business transforms to focus on digital market share. 

Gaming Services earnings improved on the previous year and the business made progress on its plans to pivot the business into an integrity services provider to governments. 

Following the successful Demerger, we have made a strong start and have a clear strategy to transform Tabcorp into a more competitive business. 

Executive KMP remuneration
Fixed remuneration

There were no changes to Mr Attenborough’s remuneration during FY22 and he retired as MD & CEO after 11 years, effective 1 June 2022. Upon ceasing employment, Mr Attenborough 
received a payment in lieu of working out the remaining eight months of his notice period (equivalent to $1.3 million) in addition to his statutory entitlements to accrued annual and long 
service leave.

The appointment of Mr Rytenskild as the new Tabcorp MD & CEO, effective 1 June 2022, provided the opportunity to review the MD & CEO remuneration package to improve alignment 
with the market and the achievement of Tabcorp’s strategy and shareholder value creation going forward. Mr Rytenskild’s remuneration package includes a lower fixed amount of  
$1.5 million and a greater weighting on variable (at risk) remuneration in the form of short-and-long term incentives. Further detail on both remuneration packages is shown on page 68.

Two executive KMP received increases in their fixed remuneration during FY22 ranging from 2.5% to 3% in recognition of their performance and to better align to the market. Upon the 
Demerger these KMP have taken up roles in The Lottery Corporation.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022Short Term Incentive (STI)

Tabcorp’s FY22 financial performance was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the extreme flooding in Queensland and NSW, compared to STI targets which did not 
include any assumptions on the potential impacts of COVID-19. This was partially offset by the Lotteries business, which experienced a favourable EBIT result throughout COVID-19 
impacted period. 

In determining the STI results, the Board took a balanced approach between financial outcomes over the 11 month period pre the Demerger and the one month period post the Demerger, 
the challenges posed by COVID-19 lockdowns, key events impacting financial performance, including from COVID-19 and the floods, the significant effort by management in successfully 
delivering the Demerger (and in turn delivering material shareholder value), the positive assessment of performance against key sustainability measures, and key strategic achievements 
following the Demerger. 

As a result, the Board exercised its discretion and resolved that a STI pool (at 100%) be made available to eligible employees after achieving 89% of the 90% EBIT target (STI hurdle, refer  
to section 5(d)). 

Noting the above factors and considering the performance by Mr Attenborough against his individual weighted scorecard, the Board determined to provide Mr Attenborough with an STI 
award equivalent to 65% of his target STI opportunity (43% of his maximum opportunity). 

The Board also determined to provide Mr Rytenskild with an STI award equivalent to 100% of his target STI opportunity (58% of his maximum opportunity) which recognised his time  
(11 months) as Managing Director, Wagering and Media and one month as MD & CEO. Consideration was given to Mr Rytenskild’s weighted scorecard, his efforts in the lead up to the 
Demerger and the strategic achievements for the Group delivered in his first month as MD & CEO, creating positive momentum to transform Tabcorp and execute on its strategic priorities. 

Mr Renshaw, Chief Financial Officer, from 1 June 2022 received a STI award substantially in recognition of his former role of Executive General Manager Finance and Commercial, 
Wagering and Media. Only the STI award in relation to his KMP role as Chief Financial Officer is disclosed in the remuneration report. Also disclosed are STI amounts accrued by Tabcorp 
during FY22 for three KMP who commenced with The Lottery Corporation upon the Demerger (Ms Susan van der Merwe, Mr Adam Newman and Mr Patrick McGlinchey). The actual STI 
amounts awarded to these former KMP are disclosed in the The Lottery Corporation FY22 Remuneration Report.

As disclosed in the Demerger Booklet, the Board determined to release Restricted Shares on foot (allocated to participants as part of the FY21 STI awards) from their two-year restriction 
period prior to the Demerger. Details on the Restricted Shares released to executive KMP is shown on page 101.

Long Term Incentive (LTI)

The 2018 LTI offer performance measures were tested on 30 June 2021 and 19 September 2021. The testing resulted in relative total shareholder return (TSR) being positioned at the  
50th percentile of the peer group, and accordingly 50% of the performance rights vested under this tranche. The targets set under the Combination Synergy measure were not met and 
accordingly, 100% of this tranche lapsed. Overall, 37.5% of the Performance Rights under the 2018 LTI offer vested into Tabcorp shares. In addition, it was deemed that the Combination 
Synergy measure for the 2019 LTI offer was not met, and the entire Combination Synergy tranche lapsed.

As disclosed in the Demerger Booklet, the Board determined that the performance conditions associated with the LTI Offers on foot as at the date of the Demerger (being the 2019, 2020 
and 2021 LTI Offers), would be waived and the Performance Rights would vest on a pro-rata basis, considering the required service periods that had elapsed under the LTI Offers at the 
date of the Demerger. Approximately 67%, 55% and 21% of the total Performance Rights granted under the 2019, 2020 and 2021 LTI Offers respectively, vested with the remainder of  
the Performance Rights lapsing. In total, across all three LTI Offers, approximately 47% of the Performance Rights originally granted to participants vested into Shares and 53% lapsed.  
This is in line with the average LTI vesting experience over the five years prior to the Demerger, of 47%.

Retention Shares

The Board approved a Retention Plan in 2021 to retain key employees through the volatile Demerger period and to assist both Tabcorp and The Lottery Corporation businesses in 
possessing critical employee skills and knowledge post the Demerger. Executive KMP were included in the offer and received Retention Shares with a face value of between 30% and  
50% of their fixed remuneration. Shares were allocated in July 2021 and are restricted until July 2023 under the condition of continuity of service (forfeitable on resignation or dismissal  
for misconduct).

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)  For the year ended 30 June 2022

Key Remuneration Framework Changes

In response to stakeholder feedback and market expectations, the Board approved the introduction of executive KMP STI scorecard weightings effective FY22. The introduction  
of weightings provides greater clarity and focus for executives, allocated across key focus areas. The weightings and focus areas were approved by the Board at the beginning  
of the financial year. 

Also introduced was an EBIT hurdle and a sustainability multiplier. The EBIT hurdle, if achieved provides access to a STI pool and if the hurdle is not achieved, the Board may exercise 
discretion and set a smaller STI pool in exceptional circumstances. The sustainability multiplier provides the Board with a mechanism to adjust the STI pool either up or down by 
considering Tabcorp’s performance against sustainability measures of risk management, responsible gambling, community and reputation.

These changes provide greater clarity and focus for participants and strengthen the link between performance and reward. 

Effective FY23 Tabcorp’s LTI variable remuneration will operate under a market priced option plan. The Options will be performance tested, with a three-year performance period.  
The Options if vested will have a one-year exercise period and any Options not vested or exercised, will lapse. More detail will be provided in Tabcorp’s FY23 Remuneration Report.

The MD & CEO’s FY23 LTI grant will be detailed in Tabcorp’s Notice of the Annual General Meeting to be held on 26 October 2022. 

Non-Executive Director Fees

In June 2022 (post the Demerger), the Board reviewed the Non-Executive Board and Committee fees, having regard to relevant considerations including ASX benchmark data and the  
need to attract and retain suitably skilled and experienced Directors to support the delivery of the Group’s strategic objectives. The Board considered it appropriate to reduce Committee 
fees by 10%, the Non-Executive Director base fee by 14% (with the introduction of a Nomination Committee fee) and the Board Chair fee by 15%. The Board also agreed to absorb the 
increase in the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution rate, effective 1 July 2022 (from 10% to 10.5%). The revised fees were effective 1 July 2022.

FY23 is another important year for Tabcorp as it embarks on the delivery of a transformation strategy to become a more competitive and innovative business. 

On behalf of the People and Remuneration Committee, I thank you for your ongoing support of Tabcorp. We invite you to read the Remuneration Report and we look forward to sharing 
with you the company’s future success. 

David Gallop 
People and Remuneration Committee Chairman

Tabcorp Annual Report 20223. KEY MESSAGES
2018 LTI offer vesting outcomes

Vesting of Performance Rights granted under the 2018 LTI offer was subject to the achievement of targets set under two performance measures, being relative TSR (applicable to 75%  
of the Performance Rights) and Combination Synergy (applicable to 25% of the Performance Rights). The performance conditions were tested on 19 September 2021 and 30 June 2021 
respectively.

The three-year TSR result placed Tabcorp at the 50th percentile of the peer group, and accordingly 50% of the Performance Rights vested under the TSR tranche (or 37.5% of the total 
Performance Rights allocated) and 50% lapsed (or 37.5% of the total Performance Rights). 

In determining the vesting outcomes for the Combination Synergy tranche, the Board considered the achievement of committed cost synergies, balanced with the realised costs incurred 
to integrate the Tabcorp and Tatts Group businesses, the delays in integration and the impacts of COVID-19 on the business. On balance, the Board determined that the targets set under 
the Combination Synergy measure were not met and accordingly, 100% of the Combination Synergy tranche lapsed, resulting in participants receiving no benefit from this tranche. The 
2019 LTI offer also included the Combination Synergy measure which applied to 25% of the Performance Rights granted. As a result of the Board’s decision regarding testing, the 2019 LTI 
offer Combination Synergy tranche also lapsed.

Overall, 37.5% of the Performance Rights granted under the 2018 LTI offer vested into Tabcorp shares (62.5% of the Performance Rights lapsed).

Treatment of equity awards on foot as a result of the Demerger

During FY22, the Board carefully considered the impact of the Demerger on various employee incentives and other equity awards on foot held by executives, having regard to shareholders 
expectations, impacts to Tabcorp and the executives themselves. The following principles underpinned the Board’s decision with respect to the treatment of executive equity awards 
impacted by the Demerger:

No undue benefits

The Board approved treatment should not result in any undue benefits for executives.

Fairness

The Board approved treatment should strike an appropriate balance between what is fair for executives and shareholder expectations.

Simplicity and transparency

The Board approved treatment should minimise complexity and be transparent to both the executives and the market.

The Board approved the following treatment:

•   LTI Performance Rights on foot at the date of Demerger (under the 2019, 2020 and 2021 LTI offers): 

  >  Performance conditions that were not due to be tested before the Demerger implementation date were waived; 
  >  Performance Rights vested on a pro rata basis, considering the service period that had elapsed at the date of Demerger, and the remainder lapsed; 
  >  In total, across all three LTI offers, approximately 47% of the Performance Rights originally granted to LTI participants vested and 53% lapsed; and
  >  The Board considered this to be appropriate having regard to:

  –  the complexity of carrying over LTI offers into the post-demerged organisations and modifying them (adjusting values and performance conditions);
  –  the total vesting outcome of 47% of the Performance Rights vesting into Tabcorp shares aligns with the previous five-year average performance tested LTI outcomes; 
  –  the anticipated unlocked financial benefits of the Demerger would likely generate higher outcomes for executives if tested; and
  –  the fact that 53% of the Performance Rights lapsed and participants received no benefit from this allocation.

•  FY21 STI Restricted Shares

  >   Prior to the Demerger, the Restricted Shares (allocated as part of the FY21 STI awards and with a two-year service-based restriction period) were released from any trading 

restrictions. The Board determined the release of the Restricted Shares to be appropriate, considering that executives had already earned these shares as part of their STI awards  
in FY21 and the complexity of continuing restrictions post the Demerger.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)  For the year ended 30 June 2022

2021 Retention Plan

In 2021, the Board approved a limited one-off retention plan (2021 Retention Plan) in the form of shareholder aligned Restricted Tabcorp Shares (Retention Shares). The Board approved 
the 2021 Retention Plan in the context of:

•   the significant workload placed on key critical employees working up to the Demerger implementation date and who were critical to the delivery of the Demerger;

•   retaining critical skills and experience within Tabcorp leading up to the Demerger; and

•   the need to retain these critical skills post-Demerger to ensure Tabcorp and The Lottery Corporation were up for success. 

The 2021 Retention Plan was offered to a small cohort of key employees, including ELT. Executive KMP were offered Retention Shares with a face value of between 30% and 50% of their 
fixed remuneration. All Retention Shares are subject to a two-year service-based restriction period (forfeitable on resignation or dismissal for misconduct) with a restriction end date of  
31 July 2023. 

Upon the Demerger these Restricted Shares were treated differently for different cohorts of employees. Employees who remained with Tabcorp post the Demerger received an equivalent 
number of shares in The Lottery Corporation (the same as other shareholders). For these employees, the shares in Tabcorp remain restricted until 31 July 2023 and the shares in The Lottery 
Corporation are under a holding lock until 31 July 2023. Employees who transferred to The Lottery Corporation forfeited their Tabcorp Retention Shares with the intention that these will be 
substituted for The Lottery Corporation shares of an equivalent value and remain restricted until 31 July 2023. Employees who were not offered new roles in either Tabcorp or The Lottery 
Corporation exited the business, retaining their shares with all restrictions waived. 

Changes to the STI Plan

During 2021, the Board approved several changes to the STI plan including the introduction of executive scorecard weightings, an EBIT hurdle and a sustainability modifier. The 
introduction of scorecard weightings provides greater clarity and focus for executives and, given the varying lifecycles applicable to each of Tabcorp’s businesses, ensures executive KMP 
are rewarded effectively for Group, business unit and individual performance. Weightings were allocated across financial, strategic, operational excellence, customer first and people and 
culture dimensions, and were approved by the Board at the beginning of the financial year, reflecting key Group priorities. The STI scorecard weightings that applied for FY22 are:

•   For the MD & CEO and executive KMP that lead corporate functions, 50% of the STI scorecard is dependent on Group financial results, and 50% is dependent on the remaining 

individual scorecard measures. 

•   For executive KMP that are aligned to a specific business unit, 30% of the STI scorecard relates to Group financial performance, 20% to the respective business unit’s financial 

performance, and the remaining 50% relates to non-financial measures specific to their individual scorecards.

The EBIT hurdle acts as a gateway to the STI pool, which if achieved, a STI pool becomes available to eligible employees (subject to Board discretion). A sustainability modifier was also 
introduced, acting as a lever to adjust the STI pool either up or down by the Board after considering sustainability measures such as risk management, responsible gambling, community 
impacts and reputation management. The Board’s determination is assisted through feedback from the Risk, Compliance and Sustainability Committee. 

Retired MD & CEO’s termination arrangements

David Attenborough retired as a Director of Tabcorp and ceased to be the Group’s MD & CEO, effective from 31 May 2022. Mr Attenborough ceased employment with the Group on 1 July 
2022. As disclosed in the Demerger Booklet, Mr Attenborough did not have any equity on foot under any of Tabcorp’s equity plans at the date he ceased employment. Upon ceasing 
employment, Mr Attenborough received a payment in lieu of working out the remainder of his notice period (equivalent to 8 months’ fixed remuneration ($1.3m)) and payment for any 
accrued but unused annual and long service leave. He did not receive any other termination payments.

Tabcorp Annual Report 20224. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE

The People and Remuneration Committee comprises three independent Non-Executive Directors and assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities with respect to people-related and 
remuneration matters as outlined below.

People and remuneration policies, 
frameworks and structures

Establishing and maintaining people (including talent and retention, diversity and inclusion, and culture and engagement) and remuneration 
policies, frameworks, and structures. Ensuring that these are strategically aligned and market-competitive, encourage strong employee 
performance, fairness and equity, engagement and shareholder value creation while mitigating risks.

Non-Executive Director fee structure  
and levels

Establishing and determining market-competitive and appropriate fee structures and levels that remunerate Non-Executive Directors effectively 
for their responsibilities in a highly complex and regulated business.

Executive remuneration levels

Incentive outcomes

People strategy and projects

Setting remuneration levels that are market-competitive and appropriate, encouraging and recognising strong performance and retaining key 
skills.

Determining performance and incentive outcomes that align with Tabcorp’s risk and compliance framework and correlate with business 
performance and shareholder value creation.

Oversee people strategies and projects, including talent and retention, diversity and inclusion, culture and engagement; as well as the health, 
safety and wellbeing strategy and performance.

The People and Remuneration Committee regularly reviews remuneration arrangements to ensure they continue to be fair, competitive, encourage strong business performance  
and shareholder value creation, and align with the Group’s values and approach to risk management and compliance. The Committee and the Board also considers feedback from 
shareholders, shareholder representative groups and proxy advisors and other stakeholders. To inform its decisions, the Committee sources a range of data and may receive independent 
advice, as appropriate. No remuneration-related advice was sought, and no remuneration recommendations were received in respect of KMP during FY22 and to the date of this report.  
In determining executive KMP remuneration outcomes, the Committee also receives feedback from the Board Risk, Compliance and Sustainability Committee.

The Committee is governed by its Charter, which is available on Tabcorp’s website (www.tabcorp.com.au) under the Corporate Governance section.

5. 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

Acting in line with Tabcorp’s risk management and 
compliance framework

The generation of Tabcorp’s STI pool is based on  
a financial hurdle and assessment of non-financial 
measures (including risk management, customer care, 
community and other environment and social 
measures). 30%–50% of executive KMP STI awards are 
based on Group financial performance, 50% on 
individual scorecard performance and for executive 
KMP who align to a specific business unit 20% relate  
to their business unit’s financial performance.

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.

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.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022(c) Remuneration packages

The following diagram details current executive KMP annual remuneration packages assuming minimum, target and stretch levels of performance (Group, business unit and individual) 
effective post the Demerger on 1 June 2022. Executive KMP remuneration packages are set in line with their responsibilities in a complex and highly regulated business and are reviewed 
annually against market peers to ensure they remain competitive and that their skills are retained. Fixed remuneration is also reviewed on a change in role. 

Key Changes as a result of the Demerger

•   66% of the new MD & CEO’s target remuneration package is variable and at risk (77% at maximum). On average, 57% of the Chief Financial Officer’s target remuneration package is 
variable and at risk (71% at maximum). In transitioning from the outgoing to the incoming MD & CEO’s, the pay mix has moved from 40% fixed remuneration, 30% on-target STI and 
30% on-target LTI to 33% across each element. This change has been made to better align with market practice and to achieve a greater portion of variable (at risk) remuneration. 

•   Overall target remuneration packages for both the incoming MD & CEO and the executive KMP are lower than the outgoing KMP.

    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 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 grant date.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022GOVERNANCESUSTAINABILITYDIRECTORS’  REPORTFINANCIAL  REPORTOPERATING &  FINANCIAL REVIEW 
 
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)  For the year ended 30 June 2022

What is the target STI opportunity?

How does the EBIT Hurdle operate? 

The value of the STI award if target performance levels are achieved and behaviours are in accordance with the Group’s values. The CEO has the 
opportunity to receive 100% of TEC and all other Executive KMP have the opportunity to receive 50% of TEC. The minimum STI outcome is 0% 
(if targets are not met).

The earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) hurdle is based on the Group’s EBIT budget as set at the beginning of the financial year  
and as approved by the Board. If the hurdle is not met, no STI awards are payable for that year. The Board has discretion to set a smaller pool  
if the hurdle is not met, considering other factors such as non-financial performance, key strategic achievements, and critical skill retention. 

How does the Sustainability 
Assessment operate?

The People and Remuneration Committee consider sustainability measures such as risk management, customer care, community impacts and 
reputation management and may exercise discretion to adjust the pool (up or down). These measures are assessed by the People and 
Remuneration Committee utilising reports on Risk from the Risk and Compliance Committee.

Once the EBIT hurdle has been met, Executive KMP awards are dependent on a weighted balanced scorecard of measures across financial, 
strategic, operational excellence, customer first and people and culture dimensions. Weightings are agreed with the Board at the beginning  
of the financial year, reflecting key Group priorities.

For the MD & CEO and executive KMP that lead corporate functions, 50% of the STI scorecard is dependent on Group financial results  
and rewards executives for their contribution. The remaining 50% is dependent on individual scorecard measures (mix of financial and  
non-financial measures).

For executive KMP that are aligned to a specific business unit, 30% of the STI scorecard relates to Group financial performance and 20%  
to the respective business unit’s financial performance. The remaining 50% of the Executive STI scorecard relates to non-financial measures.

Each scorecard category is assessed and is provided with a percentage from 0% to up to 200% (150% for the MD & CEO), weighted by each 
category. For example, the financial category for KMP can range from 0% to 100% (0% to 75% for the MD & CEO), with 50% being on-target 
achievement.

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 claw back conditions.

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).

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.

The STI scorecard contains non-financial measures which include adherence with risk management and compliance objectives, appropriate 
customer outcomes and culture 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 claw back provisions.

The Board is required to determine, in its absolute discretion, the appropriate treatment regarding any Restricted Shares.

How does the individual performance 
scorecard work? 

In what form are STI awards made  
to executive KMP?

What happens to Restricted Shares  
if an STI participant leaves the Group 
during the 2-year restriction period?

Can Restricted Shares be forfeited  
or clawed back?

How does the STI framework align 
with Tabcorp’s risk and compliance 
objectives?

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.

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 (post the 2019 LTI offer) because it focuses management 
on achieving targeted returns on Tabcorp’s invested capital (equity and debt). 

The ROIC performance condition requires three-year average ROIC performance (measured over three financial years, from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024)  
to exceed specified targets.

A stretch three-year average ROIC target of 10.0% has been 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 2024). The Board is of the view that the stretch target is 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 has also been 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 2022 financial year and in line with targeted longer term 
investment returns. The targets have also been set considering Tabcorp’s invested capital base.

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 the end of the performance period. The ROIC service condition 
will be tested and agreed with the Board. 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)

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 performance 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

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 this adverse event 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).

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022Treatment of equity awards on foot as a result of the Demerger

As part of the treatment on Demerger, the relative TSR and ROIC performance conditions that applied to the 2021 LTI offer were waived and a pro rata portion of the Performance Rights 
(based on the portion of the service period that had elapsed) vested and the remainder lapsed. Unrestricted Tabcorp Shares were allocated on vesting of Performance Rights just prior  
to the Demerger. 

Approximately 21% of the Performance Rights originally granted under the 2021 LTI offer to current participants vested into Tabcorp Shares and 79% of the Performance Rights lapsed 
(participants did not derive any benefit from the lapsed portion). This applied to all participants including the outgoing MD & CEO and executive KMP.

Refer to section 6(e) for further information.

(iv) 2021 Retention Plan

In July 2021, the Tabcorp Board considered and approved the introduction of a Retention Plan for critical employees. The 2021 Retention Plan was established to mitigate the risk identified 
as a result of the pending Demerger. There was significant uncertainty of the impact of the Demerger on employee roles, a need to retain critical skills and knowledge to ensure the 
Demerger was successful and to set the new companies up for future success. The 2021 Retention Plan was developed with the intention to retain key talent during a period of significant 
ambiguity, job insecurity and change for Tabcorp. Restricted Shares were allocated under the 2021 Retention Plan in July 2021 and will be held in restriction until July 2023. 

Why was a Retention Plan necessary? 

Announcement of the Demerger created significant job insecurity and ambiguity for many Tabcorp employees. It was critical that key 
employees were retained to ensure stability and retention of key knowledge and leadership through the period of the Demerger and 
following the Demerger to ensure that each new company was set up for success. 

How were participants determined? 

Participants were determined based on their critical skills and relationships to both execute on the transaction and to continue 
to operate the business during the key transaction period and post-Demerger.

How were the retention values determined?

Values were based on a percentage of fixed remuneration, with consideration given to a balance between cost and quantum that was 
meaningful enough to retain participants.

What instrument was used? 

Restricted Tabcorp Shares.

What are the service conditions that apply? 

For vesting to occur, participants must remain employed until the vesting date in July 2023.

How was the Retention treated upon  
Demerger for ongoing Tabcorp employees?

How was the Retention treated for Tabcorp 
employees who moved to The Lottery 
Corporation?

Accounting treatment

For participants who remained employed by the Tabcorp Group, Restricted Tabcorp Shares held under the 2021 Retention Plan continue  
to be subject to their original terms and conditions (including trading restrictions) until the end of July 2023. On Demerger the Retention 
Shares were split between Tabcorp shares and The Lottery Corporation shares, with a holding lock on The Lottery Corporation shares. 
The Lottery Corporation shares allocated as part of the Demerger were placed under a holding lock until July 2023.

The Retention shares for Tabcorp employees who moved to The Lottery Corporation were forfeited prior to the Demerger and an alternative 
offer was made in The Lottery Corporation upon appointment.

Retention Shares are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period from July 2021 to July 2023. The portion relating to The 
Lottery Corporation shares allocated as part of the Demerger was fully expensed.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)  For the year ended 30 June 2022

(e) Remuneration and accountability

In FY22 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 employees operate with integrity  
and that customers and the communities that we operate in benefit from our products in a responsible manner. Tabcorp has a Board approved Code of Conduct which outlines 
expectations of employees, 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 determine appropriate remuneration outcomes for the organisation, including executive KMP, several sources of information are 
presented. These include risk culture reports which are presented to the Board Risk and Compliance Committee and are 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 employees where such events have occurred. If this was to occur, by default, all STI and LTI awards on foot would be  
forfeited/lapsed.

(f) Policy prohibiting hedging

Participants in the Group’s incentive plans are restricted from hedging against those equity awards 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.

74

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022(g) Executive Shareholding Policy

The Executive Shareholding Policy (applicable to all executive KMP) ensures that the interests of executives, Tabcorp and shareholders are aligned. In accordance with 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 within five years of the 
date of the Demerger (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.

(b) FY22 STI outcomes

Under Tabcorp’s STI plan, the FY22 STI pool is primarily based on the EBIT result with consideration given to the sustainability measures of risk management, responsible gambling, 
community and reputation management via the sustainability modifier. The EBIT hurdle was 90% of the EBIT target against which an outcome of 89% was achieved. In determining  
the STI pool, the Board considered financial and non-financial performance as well as the achievements provided by the sustainability modifier.

The Board exercised its discretion and determined that an STI pool (at 100%) be made available to eligible employees. In applying discretion, the Board carefully considered:

•   the significant impact on the FY22 financial results due to COVID-19 related retail closures in NSW and Victoria in 1H22, as well as wet weather impacts in 2H22;

•   the fact that the EBIT targets did not include any assumptions on the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic;

•   the exceptional effort by employees to deliver the Demerger within 11 months; 

•   the delivery of key strategic achievements following the Demerger; and

•   the positive assessment of performance against key sustainable measures. 

When reviewing the individual executive KMP STI outcomes for FY22, the Board considered individual, business performance and the items noted above.

76

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022The evaluation of Mr Attenborough’s performance and associated STI award was based on his performance against his weighted scorecard, taking a balanced view of financial and 
non-financial performance for the 11 month period prior to him retiring as MD & CEO.

The evaluation of Mr Rytenskild’s performance and associated STI award was based on his performance against his weighted scorecard, taking a balanced approach to financial and 
non-financial performance, his efforts in the lead up to the Demerger and the key strategic achievements achieved during Mr Rytenskild’s first month as MD & CEO, creating positive 
momentum to transform Tabcorp and execute on its strategic priorities.

(i)   Individual outcomes vary in percentage. In FY21, the weighting for Group was 40% for all KMP. In FY22, this changed to 50% for all KMP. 
(ii)  The minimum STI value possible is zero.
(iii)  STI and STI target for Mr Rytenskild reflects the full year including his role of Managing Director, Wagering and Media and his role of MD & CEO post Demerger, effective from 1 June 2022. 
(iv)  Mr Renshaw commenced as an executive KMP on 1 June 2022. His STI including the ‘set target’ represents the period as KMP. 
(v)  Mr Attenborough ceased to be MD & CEO on 31 May 2022 and ceased employment on 1 July 2022. STI represents the full year entitlement. 
(vi)  Ceased to be an executive KMP on 31 May 2022. STI for FY22 was determined by The Lottery Corporation. 

(c) LTI awards granted in FY22

In FY22, LTI grants were provided to executive KMP following shareholder approval of the MD & CEO’s 2021 LTI grant received at the Tabcorp Annual General Meeting on 19 October 2021 
and obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. These LTI grants were subject to two performance conditions and a service condition as detailed in section 6(d). The Performance Rights 
allocated under these grants vested on a pro rata basis at the time of the Demerger as detailed in section 6(d).

(i)   Vesting of the 2021 LTI allocation of Performance Rights was subject to three-year relative TSR and ROIC performance conditions and additional service conditions. 
(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 
    $5.20). Approval for the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Attenborough was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
(iii)  The LTI allocation was 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)  Mr Attenborough was granted a parallel award on 19 October 2021, which was dependent on the demerger proceeding. Details are outlined in section 6(e). The parallel award comprised 120,750 Performance Rights (being a pro rata portion of the 576,923 
    Performance Rights noted above) with a fair value at grant date of $614,618 and a vesting date of 23 May 2022. As the demerger proceeded, Tabcorp has only accounted for the parallel award and not the award outlined in the above table. 

(d) LTI awards tested in FY22

The 2018 LTI grant comprised two measures – relative TSR (75%) and Combination Synergy (25%). The three-year TSR result was tested on 19 September 2021 and placed Tabcorp at the 
50th percentile of the peer group, and accordingly 50% of the Performance Rights vested under this tranche. The Combination Synergy tranche was tested, and the Board determined that 
the full tranche should lapse due to challenges in measuring and delays in finalising the integration of Tabcorp and Tatts Group, following the combination of these two organisations. 
Overall, 37.5% of the Performance Rights granted under the 2018 LTI offer vested into Tabcorp shares (62.5% of the Performance Rights lapsed). 

The 2019 LTI grant also included the Combination Synergy measure which applied to 25% of the Performance Rights granted. As a result of the Board decision, the Combination Synergy 
tranche of the 2019 LTI grant was also lapsed.

(e) Treatment of restricted equity on foot upon Demerger

i. 2019 LTI offer

Vesting of Performance Rights held under the 2019 LTPP offer was subject to two performance conditions – relative TSR (75% of the Performance Rights) and a Combination Synergy 
measure (25% of the Performance Rights). The Combination Synergy tranche lapsed as outlined in section 6(d). 

The 2019 LTI Offer was due to be tested on 25 September 2022.

Prior to the Demerger, the relative TSR performance condition was waived and a pro rata portion of the Performance Rights in the relative TSR tranche (based on the portion of the service 
period that has elapsed) vested and the remainder lapsed. Unrestricted Tabcorp Shares were allocated on vesting of the relative TSR tranche of Performance Rights prior to the Demerger. 
Approximately 67% of the Performance Rights originally granted under the 2019 LTI offer to current participants vested and 33% lapsed (and participants derived no benefit from the 
lapsed portion). 

ii. 2020 and 2021 LTI offers

Vesting of Performance Rights held under the 2020 and 2021 LTI offers were subject to two performance conditions – relative TSR (75% of the Performance Rights) and a Return  
on invested capital measure (ROIC) (25% of the Performance Rights). 

The 2020 and 2021 LTI offers were due to be tested on 23 September 2023 and 29 September 2024 respectively. 

Prior to the Demerger, the relative TSR and ROIC performance conditions were waived for all participants and a pro rata portion of the Performance Rights (based on the portion of the 
service period that has elapsed) vested and the remainder lapsed. Unrestricted Tabcorp Shares were allocated on vesting of the Performance Rights prior to the Demerger. At the date  
of this report, there are no Performance Rights on issue.

Approximately 55% of the Performance Rights originally granted to KMPs under the 2020 LTI offer to current participants vested into Tabcorp Shares and 45% of the Performance Rights 
lapsed (and participants derived no benefit from the lapsed portion).

Approximately 21% of the Performance Rights originally granted to KMPs under the 2021 LTI offer to current participants vested into Tabcorp Shares and 79% of the Performance Rights 
lapsed (and participants derived no benefit from the lapsed portion).

In total, across all three LTI offers (namely the 2019, 2020 and 2021 LTI offers), approximately 58% of the Performance Rights originally granted to KMPs vested into Tabcorp Shares and 
42% lapsed. The Tabcorp Board approved this treatment considering that it aligns to the average testing and vesting outcomes of the LTI offers from FY17 to FY22 (and hence participants 
were not deriving undue benefit), the anticipated unlocked financial benefits of the Demerger would likely generate higher outcomes if tested, the complexity with carrying over 
Performance Rights into New Tabcorp and The Lottery Corporation post Demerger and modifying these (value and performance conditions) and executives losing the opportunity  
to receive any benefit on the lapsed Performance Rights which are not compensated for.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022 
 
iii. FY21 STI Restricted Shares outcomes

Under Tabcorp’s STI plan, a portion of the STI awarded to the MD & CEO, members of the ELT and senior managers are provided in the form of cash (50% for the MD & CEO and 75%  
for other participants) and Restricted Shares (50% for the MD & CEO and 25% for other participants). Restricted Shares awarded under the FY21 STI plan were restricted for two years 
(until 20 August 2023) and subject to service-based conditions only. 

On Demerger, the Restricted Shares held by all participants were released from any trading restrictions and service conditions. The Board determined the release of Tabcorp Shares to  
be appropriate, considering they have already been earned by participants (under the FY21 STI plan) and the complexity of continuing restrictions post the Demerger.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)  For the year ended 30 June 2022

7. REVIEW OF EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR FY23
The remuneration framework is regularly reviewed to ensure it remains fit for purpose and aligned to Tabcorp’s strategic direction.

Effective FY23, Tabcorp’s LTI variable remuneration will operate under a market priced option plan. The Options will be performance tested, with a three-year performance period.  
The Options if vested will have a one-year exercise period and any Options not vested or exercised, will lapse. More details will be provided in Tabcorp’s FY23 Remuneration Report. 

The MD & CEO’s FY23 LTI grant will be detailed in Tabcorp’s Notice of Annual General Meeting to be held on 26 October 2022. 

8. 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. The peer group will be reviewed during FY23 once Tabcorp’s share price is better established post Demerger. 
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) FY22 fee structure 
Non-Executive Directors receive a Board fee and a fee for each Board Committee that they chair or are a member of (i). The Board Chairman receives a single fixed fee which is inclusive  
of services on all standing Board Committees. Superannuation contributions form part of the fees and Non-Executive Directors are not eligible to receive any other retirement benefits.

In June 2022, the Board reviewed the Board and Committee fees post the Demerger, considering ASX benchmark data and the need to attract and retain suitably skilled and experienced 
Directors to support Tabcorp’s strategic objectives. The Board considered it appropriate to reduce the Committee fees by 10%, the Non-Executive Director base fee by 14% (with the 
introduction of a Nomination Committee fee) and the Board Chair fee by 15%. The Board also agreed to absorb the increase in the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution rate effective  
1 July 2022 (from 10.0% to 10.5%). The revised fees are effective 1 July 2022 and are provided in Table 9.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022(c) Fees paid during FY22 
The mandated Superannuation Guarantee increase of 0.5% (from 9.5% to 10.0%) in July 2021 was absorbed into existing fees at that time, resulting in no increase in overall fees (inclusive 
of superannuation). Certain Non-Executive Directors may, from time to time, receive additional fees for membership of other Board Sub-Committees, however during FY22 no such fees 
were paid. Upon completion of the Demerger and following the retirement of several Directors, changes were made to the Committee memberships during the year, effective 1 June 2022. 
Table 10 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.

(iii)  Ordinary shares issued under a pro rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer. The proceeds have been used to pay down existing drawn bank facilities in the prior period. Refer to note B3.

Total issued capital $9,230.0 m

Total reserves ($670.4) m

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.

Opening 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. The reserve was brought to nil during the year, following the gain on demerger of The Lottery Corporation.

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 2022DIRECTORS’  REPORTREMUNERATION  REPORTFINANCIAL  REPORTOPERATING &  FINANCIAL REVIEWGOVERNANCESUSTAINABILITY 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  For the year ended 30 June 2022

ABOUT THIS REPORT

Tabcorp Holdings Limited (the Company) is a company limited by shares which are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). 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 2022 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) and the Group’s interest  
in joint arrangements.

On 5 July 2021, Tabcorp announced its intention to demerge its Lotteries and Keno business. The demerger was completed on 1 June 2022, resulting in The Lottery Corporation Limited 
as a separate ASX listed Company. The Lotteries and Keno business is presented as a discontinued operation. Refer to note D5 for further information.

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 continued to have an adverse impact on the financial performance of the Group in 2022. 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.

An assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s balance sheet is set out below:

Balance sheet item COVID-19 assessment
Goodwill

The Group considered the ongoing 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 prior year.

Note
C2 and C3

Issued capital

In the prior year 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.

Statement of 
changes in equity

Further details on the impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s results can be found in the Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2022.

The Financial Report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 August 2022.

The Financial Report is a general purpose financial report which: 

 › has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and other mandatory 

financial reporting requirements in Australia;

 › complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board;

 ›

is presented in Australian dollars with dollar amounts rounded to the nearest hundred thousand unless specifically stated to be otherwise, in accordance with ASIC Corporations 
(Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191; and

 ›

is prepared on the historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments and equity instruments that have been measured at fair value. 

The Group’s balance sheet reflects a net current asset deficiency. This largely arises due to customer account balances being classified as current liabilities under Australian Accounting 
Standards as the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer payment beyond 12 months, notwithstanding these are not expected to be fully settled within the next 12 months.  
As at 30 June 2022, it also included $150 million in relation to Racing Queensland settlement payment and $37.5 million for the Queensland wagering licence instalment, which are 
expected to be settled during the next 12 months. The Group maintains sufficient undrawn facilities to meet working capital requirements, including settlement of customer account 
balances as required. In order to minimise finance costs, excess cash is used to reduce non current interest bearing liabilities until the current liabilities become due.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of this Financial Report.

Note disclosures have been grouped into five sections. The notes within each section detail the accounting policies applied, together with any key judgements and estimates used. 
The purpose of this format is to provide users with a clear understanding of the key drivers of the Group’s financial performance and financial position.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: GROUP PERFORMANCE  For the year ended 30 June 2022

SECTION A – GROUP PERFORMANCE

A1  Segment information

Operating segments reflect the business level at which financial information is provided to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (Chief Operating Decision Maker), for decision 
making regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The measure of segment profit used excludes significant items not considered integral to the ongoing performance 
of the segment. Intersegment pricing is determined on commercial terms and conditions.

The 30 June 2021 financial statements included the Lotteries and Keno segment. This segment was demerged from the Group effective 1 June 2022. Consequently, the segment is no 
longer presented in the segment disclosures from continuing operations for the current and prior period. Information about discontinued operations is provided in Note D5.

The Group has two operating segments from continuing operations at year end.

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:

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.

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 from continuing operations are:

Current tax 
Adjustments in respect of current income tax of previous years(i)
Deferred tax

Income tax reconciliation (continuing operations):
Loss from continuing operations before income tax
Income tax receivable at the 30% company tax rate
Tax effect of adjustments in calculating taxable income:

– impairment of goodwill
– net gain on fair value of cash flow hedges
– Racing Queensland settlement
– amortisation of licences
– uncertain tax positions relating to NSW gaming machine monitoring licence(i)
– gain on revaluation of previously held equity interest
– research and development claims
– amounts under/(over) provided in prior years
– other

Income tax benefit/(expense)

(i)  Prior year includes $62.0m relating to uncertain tax positions. Refer to note E4 for details on related contingent asset.

(i)   Includes amounts for both continuing and discontinued operations.

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
Other than the events disclosed elsewhere in this report, no additional matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year that may significantly affect the Group’s 
operations, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group.

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.

Gearing is managed primarily through the ratio of net debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and impairment (EBITDA). Net debt is gross debt less unrestricted cash.

At 30 June the Group’s gearing ratio was:

Net debt
EBITDA (before significant items)(i)
Gearing ratio 

(i)  EBITDA represents continuing operations.

Prior to the demerger, other financial assets were held to fund payments to winners of certain lottery games, where winnings are payable for up to 20 years. These funds formed part of the 
net assets disposed on demerger of The Lottery Corporation. Refer to note D5.

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

B4  Derivative financial instruments (continued)
B4.1  Interest rate swaps

Prior to the demerger of The Lottery Corporation in June 2022, these swaps were used to mitigate the risk of variability in cash flows due to movements in the reference interest rate of the 
designated debt. There were no interest rate swaps at 30 June 2022.

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. 

Further information about the Group’s interest rate risk management is disclosed in note B6.1.

B4.2  Cross currency swaps

Prior to the demerger of The Lottery Corporation in June 2022, these swaps were used to reduce the exposure to the variability of movements in the forward USD exchange rate in relation  
to the USD private placement debt. There were no cross currency swaps at 30 June 2022.

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 liabilities
US private placement 

The fair value of the Group’s financial instruments is estimated as follows:

US private placement
Fair value was calculated using discounted future cash flow techniques, where estimated cash flows and estimated discount rates are based on market data at balance date, in combination 
with restatement to foreign exchange rates at balance date (level 2 in fair value hierarchy).

Cross currency and interest rate swaps 
Fair value was calculated using discounted future cash flow techniques, where estimated cash flows and estimated discount rates are based on market data at balance date (level 2 in fair 
value hierarchy).

Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
Fair value was determined with reference to market prices prevailing at balance date (level 2 in fair value hierarchy).

There have been no significant transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the financial year ended 30 June 2022.

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 had 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. 

108

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022 
Prior to the demerger, it had 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 paid fixed interest rates and receives the bank bill swap rate (BBSW) calculated on the notional principal amount of the contracts. The Group had 
also entered into floating rate term deposits where it receives variable interest that is priced against the BBSW. These formed part of the net assets disposed on demerger of The Lottery 
Corporation. Refer to note D5.

At 30 June 2022 none of the Group’s borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest (2021: 99.4%). 

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

The movements in the income statement are insignificant at 30 June 2022 due to the USPP liabilities, derivatives and some of the loans being transferred to The Lottery Corporation on 
demerger.  

Significant assumptions used in the prior year 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  Financial instruments – risk management (continued)
B6.2  Foreign currency risk

At 30 June 2022, the Group is not materially exposed to foreign currency risk. In the prior year and in the period prior to demerger, the Group’s primary currency exposure was to US dollars 
as a result of issuing US private placement debt. In order to hedge this exposure, the Group had entered into cross currency swaps to fix the exchange rate on the USD debt until maturity. 
The Group agreed 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 were designated 
to hedge the principal and interest obligations of the US private placement debt. The US private placement debt together with all existing cross currency swaps formed part of the net 
assets disposed on demerger of The Lottery Corporation. Refer to note D5.

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 (2021: +10 cents)
AUD/USD -10 cents (2021: -10 cents)

The movements in the income statement are insignificant at 30 June 2022 due to the USPP liabilities, derivatives and some of the loans being transferred to the Lottery Corporation on demerger.  
Management believe the balance date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in the financial instruments.

Significant assumptions used in the prior year 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.

The translation of the results of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries into the Group presentation currency has not been considered as it represents translation risk rather than transaction risk.

110

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022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 (2021: 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 $20.4m (2021: $34.4m).

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.

At 30 June 2022 no debt facilities (2021: 7%) 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

Bank loans – unsecured
US private placement 
Lease liabilities

Amortisation policy – straight line basis over useful life (years):
Expiration date:
(ii)  In line with New South Wales Wagering Licence retail exclusivity period

Goodwill arising in a business combination represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. All business combinations are accounted for 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, including NSW Trackside concessions and customer related 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 0% to 2.5% (2021: 1.0% to 3.5%). These cash flows are then discounted using a relevant long term post tax 
discount rate 8.88% (2021: 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 recoverable amount estimates:

 › Unless otherwise disclosed, the Group’s 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.  

 › The Group’s existing exclusive Wagering Licence in Victoria will expire in 2024. In relation to the ongoing wagering operations in Victoria, probability-weighted scenarios were modelled, 

including the expected conditions and probability of possible exclusive, non-exclusive retail wagering licence or no licence outcomes. 

 › State tax regimes and the regulatory environment in which the Group currently operates remain largely unchanged, other than those publicly announced.

 › 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 rates used are either in line with or do not exceed the forecast long term underlying growth rate in the Consumer Price Index.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES  For the year ended 30 June 2022

C3  Impairment testing (continued)
Sensitivities

 › Probability-weighted scenarios were developed for a number of possible exclusive, non-exclusive Victorian retail wagering licence or no licence outcomes. Under the probability-

weighted scenario and each of the individual scenarios, the estimates of recoverable amount exceed the carrying amount. 

 › An increase in the long term, post tax discount rate of 1.3% would result in the estimated recoverable amount being equal to carrying amounts. 

 › A decrease in the cashflows of the business of 12% would result in the estimated recoverable value of the segments to equal to the carrying amount.

Typically, changes in any one of the aforementioned assumptions (including operating performance) would be accompanied by a change in another assumption which may have an 
offsetting impact. Action is usually taken to respond to adverse changes in assumptions to mitigate the impact of any such change. However, adverse movements in key assumptions may 
lead to impairment.

Impairment Charges

Wagering and Media

No impairment charges were identified in the year ended 30 June 2021 or 30 June 2022. 

Gaming Services

The impairment assessment in the prior year determined the carrying value of the Gaming Services Segment exceeded its recoverable amount. As a result, an impairment charge of 
$121.5m was recognised in the prior year. At 30 June 2021, the Goodwill attributable to the Gaming Service segment was nil.

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
(a)  Group as a lessee

The Group has lease contracts for various properties, motor vehicles and other equipment with lease terms expiring from 1 to 22 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.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022(b)  Group as a lessor

The Group has sub-leased properties that have previously been presented as part of right-of-use assets. The sub-leases have terms of 3 and 5 years and the Group has classified the 
leases as finance sub-leases.

During the year, the Group recognised a gain of $7.3m on derecognition of the right-of-use assets pertaining to the properties and presented the gain as part of profit from discontinued 
operations after tax (see note D5).

The following table sets out a maturity analysis of lease receivables, showing the undiscounted lease payments to be received after the reporting date.

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.

The Group enters into lease arrangements as lessor in respect of some property leases. When the Group is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately.

The sub-lease is a finance lease where it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other sub-leases are operating leases. The determination of whether a sub-lease is classified as a finance lease or operating lease is 
made by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease. Rental income from operating 
leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

The Group recognises on the Balance Sheet a net investment in a lease as the sum of the lease payments receivable plus any unguaranteed residual value, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease.

(i)   Includes provision of $150m relating to Racing Queensland dispute. On 5 June 2022 Tabcorp and Racing Queensland entered into an agreement to settle the legal proceedings in relation to disputes concerning the calculation of fees payable by  
    Tabcorp following the introduction of point of consumption tax in Queensland. The settlement is conditional upon the commencement of legislation that will implement the proposed reforms announced by the Queensland Government by 31 March 2023. 
    As at 30 June 2021, the Company had disclosed a contingent liability in connection with this litigation.

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.

(i)  Control of these entities was lost on 1 June 2022 on the demerger of The Lottery Corporation.
(ii)  The entities were incorporated during the year and the control of these entities was lost on 1 June 2022 on the demerger of The Lottery Corporation.
(iii)  Company was placed in members’ voluntary liquidation during 2019.

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.

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.

The Lottery Corporation Limited and its 100% controlled entities left the Tabcorp Holdings Limited tax consolidation group effective 1 June 2022.

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.

Acquisition of Premier Gateway International Limited and Premier Gateway Services Limited in the prior year 

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)

Intangible assets have a useful life of 5 – 8 years.

(i) 
(ii)  At the acquisition date, the Group’s existing 50% investment in PGI was remeasured to fair value and a gain of $34.9m 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 $24.0m. This amount was expected to be fully collectible at the acquisition date.

(b)  Purchase consideration

Since the date of acquisition the additional 50% investment in PGI contributed $41.3m revenue and $0.1m profit before income tax expense, after amortisation of the identifiable intangible 
assets of $2.4m. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the prior year, the Group’s revenue and loss before income tax expense from continuing operations would have been 
$2,562.4m and $101.4m respectively.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022D5  Discontinued operations
Demerger of The Lottery Corporation Limited

The Lottery Corporation was demerged on 1 June 2022 and is reported as a discontinued operation. The Lottery Corporation operates Lotteries and Keno pursuant to licences and 
approvals in certain Australian states and territories.

The demerger distribution of The Lottery Corporation was recognised at the fair value of The Lottery Corporation shares of $10,470m. The fair value was determined using the volume 
weighted average price (VWAP) of The Lottery Corporation’s shares as traded on the ASX over the first five trading days starting from the date of commencement of trading (including  
on a deferred settlement basis).

The demerger distribution is accounted for as a reduction in equity, split between a share capital reduction and a demerger reserve; and was settled through the transaction of The Lottery 
Corporation shares under the scheme of arrangement. The difference between the book value of the net assets of The Lottery Corporation transferred and the demerger distribution value 
is recognised as a gain on demerger.

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is a controlled entity acquired 
or held exclusively with a view to resale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified  
as a discontinued operation, the comparative income statement is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.

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.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022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. 

Prior to the demerger of The Lottery Corporation Limited, the Performance Rights on foot were modified whereby the performance conditions were waived for all participants, and a pro 
rata portion of the Performance Rights vested and the remainder lapsed. The remaining fair value in relation to the Performance Rights was expensed prior to the demerger, together with 
any uplift in fair value attributable to the modification of the Performance Rights. There are no Performance Rights outstanding at 30 June 2022.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding Performance Rights is reflected in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

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. As a result of the demerger, the Restricted Shares 
were released from any trading restrictions and the remaining cost was expensed prior to the demerger.

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.

In addition, the Company has granted Restricted Shares to key critical employees including executives as part of a one-off retention plan as a result of the demerger. At the time of the 
demerger, Restricted Shares issued under this plan were cancelled for employees ceasing employment and a reversal of the expense was recognised. For continuing employees, the cost 
of the Tabcorp Restricted Shares are recognised over the vesting period until July 2023, and the cost of The Lottery Corporation shares allocated as part of the demerger were placed 
under a holding lock and the remaining cost was expensed prior to the demerger.

Further explanation of the share plans is disclosed in the Remuneration Report.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022E2  Pensions and other post employment benefit plans

The Group had two defined benefit superannuation plans (closed to new entrants) during the year, the Tabcorp Superannuation Plan (‘Tabcorp plan’) and the New South Wales Lotteries 
Corporation Pty Limited defined benefit plan (‘NSW Lotteries plan’), which provide benefits based on salary and length of service. The NSW Lotteries plan was derecognised by the Group 
during the year on the demerger of The Lottery Corporation (refer to note D5). The plans are governed by the employment laws of Australia and the Group contributes to the plans at rates 
based on actuarial advice.

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.

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.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022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 prior 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 $62.0m and interest charges of $8.8m 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 has appealed this decision in the Federal Court of Australia. If Tatts is ultimately successful in its claim, 
the Company expects that the amended assessment amounts will be refunded.

(b)  Insurance recoveries

There are outstanding insurance matters on foot between controlled entities and third parties at 30 June 2022. Given the nature of insurance claim processes it is not practicable for the 
business to disclose an estimate of the asset arising from the settlement and the impact it will have on the Group’s financial position.  

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 regulatory matters and legal actions on foot and other potential legal exposures between controlled entities and third parties at 30 June 2022. It is expected that any 
liabilities arising from such regulatory matters and legal action or other potential exposures would not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position.

Tabcorp Annual Report 2022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.

(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-The Lottery Corporation demerger was implemented 
on 1 June 2022, therefore FY22 represents 11 months results 
from the Lotteries and Keno business as a discontinued 
operation. Periods prior to FY22 have not been re-presented.

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)   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.   

(iii)  Dividends attributable to the year, but which may be 

payable after the end of the period.

(iv)  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.

(v)   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. For FY22, includes the value of The Lottery 
Corporation Limited shares at 31 May 2022 of $4.74, prior 
to implementation of the Demerger.

(vi)   Revenue includes both external and internal revenue.

(vii)   No revenue is shown for Lotteries and Keno segment  
as the segment information is only for the continuing 
operations and Lotteries and Keno segment was 
discontinued in FY22 and presented within the 
discontinued operations.

(viii)  The lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) is the number  

of lost time injuries per million hours worked.

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION As at 29 July 2022

Securities on issue

Tabcorp has on issue 2,225,771,703 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 2021 due to 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.

During FY22, a total of 3,425,545 shares were acquired on market at an average price of $4.93 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. 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.
