Chairman and Chief Executive  
Officer’s report

Throughout fiscal 2022 
we’ve seamlessly 
transitioned to our new 
operating model, which 
has built momentum 
around our strategy. 
The positive changes 
made throughout 
the year have laid the 
foundations for this 
next phase of growth 
and innovation. 

Paul Rayner Chairman and Tim Ford Chief Executive Officer

INTRODUCTION

Dear shareholders,

We	are	pleased	to	present	the	2022	Annual	Report 
for	Treasury	Wine	Estates	Limited.	

Last	year	we	acknowledged	that	change	would	
continue	to	be	ever	present	in	our	business,	and	that	
indeed	has	been	the	case	throughout	F22	as	we	
managed	the	effective	closure	of	the	Mainland	China	
market	to	Australian	wine	products	as	well	as	
navigated	a	number	of	macroeconomic	challenges	
including	the	global	pandemic,	significant	supply	
chain	disruptions,	and	inflationary	cost	pressures.

Through	these	challenges,	we	have	continued	to	adapt	
and	evolve,	and	have	emerged	a	stronger	and	more	
sustainable	business	as	we	continue	to	expand	our	
multi-country	of	origin	portfolio	and	invest	more	
strongly	across	a	range	of	markets.	We	have	found	
new	opportunities	to	innovate	-	across	our	business,	
our	product	portfolio	and	how	we	connect	with	our	
customers	and	consumers.

We	started	the	fiscal	year	with	a	seamless	transition 
to	our	new	brand-portfolio-led	operating	model,	which	
has	brought	even	greater	focus	and	accountability 
to	how	we	execute	our	strategy.

Our	new	divisions	–	Penfolds,	Treasury	Americas 
and	Treasury	Premium	Brands	–	have	accelerated 
our	focus	on	premiumisation	and	responding	to	trends	
in	a	way	that	meets	the	unique	propositions	of	our	
existing	consumers,	and	introducing	new	consumers 
to	premium	and	luxury	wines.

Now	emerging	as	a	true	luxury	icon,	Penfolds	continued	
to	focus	on	introducing	its	wine	to	more	consumers	
around	the	world	through	a	range	of	unique	luxury	
experiences,	events,	and	the	launch	of	new	wines	
including	the	Penfolds	g5	which	is	blended	from	five	
exceptional	Grange	vintages.	The	g5	marks	the	final	
release in ‘g’	series	trio	and	was	awarded	a	perfect	
100-point	score	four	times	by	leading	wine	critics.

Penfolds	also	continued	to	grow	its	presence	in	some	
of	the	finest	winemaking	regions	in	the	world,	with	the	
purchase	of	additional	winery	and	vineyard	assets	
neighboring	our	current	site	in	Bordeaux,	to	support	
growth	of	the	French	portfolio,	and	announced	that	in	
calendar	2022	it	would	launch	the	first	Penfolds	wine	
made	in	China	for	the	China	market.

In	addition	to	Penfolds,	our	Treasury	Premium	Brands	
division	has	continued	to	drive	growth	across	Asia. 
In	response	to	the	tariffs	on	Australian	wine	into	China,	
our	team	is	now	sourcing	South	African	and	Chilean	
country	of	origin	wine	for	Rawson’s	Retreat	ensuring 
the	popular	brand	continues	to	be	a	foundation	for	
growth	in	China	with	plans	to	expand	the	portfolio 
and	distribution	next	financial	year.

In	the	Americas,	we	have	now	materially	reshaped 
our	business,	laying	the	foundations	for	growth	in 
the	world’s	largest	wine	market	through	a	focused 
portfolio	of	brands	that	are	leading	the	way	in	luxury,	
culture-led	experiences.	

There	is	no	better	example	of	this	than	19	Crimes,	which	
now	joins	Penfolds	as	our	second	global	growth	brand.	
Over	the	past	10	years	there	has	been	a	continuous	
focus	on	consumer-led	innovation,	including	the	
extension	into	new	varietals,	category-leading	digital	
engagement	and	popular	celebrity	collaborations,	
which	has	seen	the	brand	deliver	leading	innovation 
in	the	US	wine	market	for	two	years	running.

Treasury	Americas	continued	to	build	its	luxury	
credentials	with	the	acquisition	of	Frank	Family	
Vineyards.	Rich	and	Leslie	Frank	have	crafted	a	
portfolio	of	exceptionally	high-quality	wines	and	
nurtured	an	industry-leading	guest	experience 
at	the	winery	that	we	intend	to	emulate	across 
our	American	cellar	doors.

Across	our	portfolio	we	have	also	continued	to	
innovate	our	approach	to	no-alcohol	wine	and	grow	
our	low-alcohol	portfolio,	recognising	the	growing	
conscious	consumption	trend	across	all	markets.

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022 – 3

CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT (CONTINUED)

In	F22,	we	launched	two	meaningful	innovations	in	this 
category	–	Matua	Lighter	in	the	United	States	and	the 
Wolf	Blass	Zero	range	in	Australia.	These	innovations 
were	well	received	by	consumers	and	we	believe 
there	is	a	significant	opportunity	for	TWE	to	be	the 
global	leader	in	these	emerging	segments	of	the	wine 
category.	With	that	in	mind,	we	will	continue	to	invest 
in	research	and	development	to	deliver	the	leading	
brand	and	wine	quality	combination	to	give	our	
consumers	real	choice	for	every	occasion.

The	strength	of	our	team,	our	global	diversified	
business	model,	our	iconic	brand	portfolio,	and	our	
unrelenting	focus	on	the	consumer	has	given	us	an	
unrivalled	competitive	advantage	and	enabled	us 
to	quickly	respond	to	environmental	challenges	and	
recalibrate	our	strategy	when,	and	as,	required.

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

In	F22,	Group	EBITS	increased	3%	to	$523.7	million, 
while	our	EBITS	margin	improved	1.3	percentage	points	
to	21.1%.	TWE’s	long-term	financial	objective	remains 
to	deliver	sustainable	top-line	growth,	high	single	digit	
average	earnings	growth	and	Group	EBITS	margin	
target	of	25%+.

Throughout	the	year,	NSR	declined	3.6%	to	
$2,476.7 million	reflecting	divestment	of	the	US	
commercial	portfolio	and	the	decline	in	shipments 
to	Mainland	China	and	reduced	commercial	volumes	
in	the	UK	and	Australia,	partly	offset	by	strong	growth 
in	the	premium	and	luxury	portfolios.	

TWE	continued	portfolio	premiumisation	and	growth	of	
distribution	and	availability	for	priority	brands,	with	NSR	
per	case	up	16.1%	and	the	contribution	of	the	premium	
and	luxury	portfolios	to	83%	of	Group	NSR,	up	from 
77%	in	F21.

Excluding	Penfolds	Australian	country-of-origin	sales 
to	Mainland	China,	NSR	and	EBITS	grew	9%	and 
22%	respectively.

This	result	reflects	disciplined	execution	of	F22	priorities	
including	continued	portfolio	premiumisation	and	
growth	in	distribution	and	availability	for	priority	brands.

In	particular,	Penfolds	has	driven	stand-out	growth	in	
Asia,	with	NSR	in	regional	markets,	excluding	Mainland	
China,	increasing	106%,	alongside	strong	growth	across	
the	EMEA	region,	particularly	UK	and	Germany,	where	
NSR	grew	32.9%.	

Penfolds	growth	is	evidence	of	its	credentials	as	a	
global	luxury	brand	and	investment	will	continue	in 
its	multi-country	of	origin	portfolio	strategy,	particularly	
in	France	with	the	pending	acquisition	of	Chateau	
Lanessan,	which	will	double	the	existing	vineyard	
footprint	in	Bordeaux,	to	be	completed	in	the	first	half	
of	F23.1,2

Significant	changes	to	the	Treasury	Americas	brand	
portfolio	and	asset	base	continued	in	F22,	repositioning	
the	business	as	a	premium	wine	business	with	a	
focused	portfolio	of	priority	brands.	

Treasury	Americas	continues	to	be	recognised	for 
its	outstanding	innovation	capability,	with	19	Crimes	
Cali	Red	recognised	by	IRI	as	the	number	one 
selling	wine	in	history	in	its	first-year	sales.	In	addition 
to	Cali	Red,	we	launched	Cali	Rosé	through	our	
partnership	with	entertainment	icon	Snoop	Dogg,	and	
achieved	success	with	the	release	of	Martha’s	Chard,	
in	partnership	with	Martha	Stewart,	which	took	out	the	
number	one	US	wine	market	innovation	in	2022.

Outside	of	the	US,	our	diverse	portfolio	of	brands	
continued	to	make	their	mark	with	the	launch	of	the	
Wolf	Blass	Zero	and	Squealing	Pig	lighter	ranges, 
as	well	the	sourcing	of	South	African	and	Chilean	wine	
for	Rawson’s	Retreat	for	the	Mainland	China	market,	
and	the	Wolf	Blass	House	of	the	Dragon	partnership	
with	HBO,	an	innovative	new	platform	to	introduce	new	
consumers	to	the	portfolio.

We	were	delighted	to	see	the	team	at	Penfolds	Magill	
Estate	win	the	International	Best	of	Wine	Tourism	Award	
in	the	Wine	Tourism	Restaurant	category	and	being	
named	Adelaide’s	International	Winner	at	the	2022	
Great	Wine	Capitals	Best	of	Wine	Tourism	Awards,	
recognising	the	important	role	that	wine	regions	and	
our	wineries	play	in	driving	regional	tourism.

All	divisions	contributed	to	our	F22	result,	with	key	
elements	as	follows.

•  Penfolds	reported	an	8%	decline	in	EBITS	to	

$319.3	million	while	EBITS	margin	increased	0.6	ppts 
to	44.5%.	The	significant	decline	in	shipments	to	
Mainland	China	was	partly	offset	by	continued	
strength	in	a	number	of	global	markets	and	
channels,	with	NSR	and	EBITS	outside	of	Mainland	
China	increasing	by	45%	and	25%	respectively	on 
a	constant	currency	basis.	Penfolds	continues	to	
attract	new	consumers	and	grow	distribution	and	
availability	globally.	In	Asian	markets,	outside	of	
Mainland	China,	NSR	grew	106%	supported	by	strong	
depletion	trends	in	multiple	markets	led	by	
consumer	demand	and	channel	penetration.

•  Treasury	Americas	reported	a	21%	increase	in	EBITS 
to	$185.6	million	with	EBITS	margin	up	2.9	ppts	to	
19.3%.	The	priority	brand	portfolio	continued	to	
perform	strongly	with	NSR	increasing	15%	in	the	year,	
led	by	standout	growth	from	Beringer,	Stags’	Leap,	
Matua	and	19	Crimes.	Following	the	completion	of	
significant	changes	in	the	brand	portfolio	and	asset	
base,	including	the	acquisition	of	Frank	Family	
Vineyards,	Treasury	Americas	has	been	repositioned	
as	a	premium	wine	business	with	a	focused	portfolio	
of	growing	brands.

•  Treasury	Premium	Brands	reported	a	27%	increase 

in	EBITS	to	$79.6	million	with	EBITS	margin	increasing	
2.5	ppts	to	10.0%.	Portfolio	premiumisation	continued,	
with	strong	performance	by	priority	brands	
including	19	Crimes,	Pepperjack,	Squealing	Pig	and	
Wynns.	Significant	distribution	gains	and	NSR	growth	
for	priority	brands	in	key	EMEA	and	Asia	markets	was	
an	execution	highlight,	as	was	continued	innovation	
success	across	the	portfolio.

1.	 Organic,	pre-material	items	and	on	a	constant	currency	basis.
2.	 TWE	to	acquire	78.6%	stake	from	the	Bouteiller	Family,	who	will	remain	a	shareholder.	The	cash	outflow	associated	with	the	acquisition	is	expected	
to	be	approximately	A$60	million,	including	a	capital	injection	to	fund	winery	and	vineyard	development.	Completion	expected	Oct-22,	subject	to	
satisfaction	of	conditions	precedent.

SUSTAINABILITY

One year into our evolved sustainability strategy, we 
made good progress against our ambition to cultivate 
a brighter future for everyone who touches our business.

Throughout the year we made progress against all 
of our targets and commitments.

The key sustainability highlights for the year included:

•  Completion of a comprehensive review of water 
management across the global viticulture and 
winery operations, with clear recommendations 
to drive our water security and efficient 
usage strategies.

•  Committed to invest $20 million on solar panel 

and meter technology across our global production 
network in support of the ambition to achieve 
100% renewable electricity by F24.

• 

Improving levels of gender representation across 
the global business, with overall female 
representation up 1.3 ppts to 41.5% while females 
in leadership roles were down 0.2 ppts to 44.9%.

In F22, TWE refinanced AU$1.4 billion of existing debt 
into a Sustainability Linked Loan (SLL) that rewards 
performance against agreed milestones with 
discounts on the loan rate. The establishment of 
the SLL is a key step in integrating our sustainability 
agenda across the business and is an important step 
for both our sustainability and market capital journeys, 
incentivising us to move even more quickly towards 
achieving our sustainability ambition and targets.

Whilst we recognise there is more work to do, we are 
embracing the leadership role we must play in sharing 
a positive future for everyone who touches our business 
from grape to glass.

More information about our enhanced strategy, 
goals, and the progress we are making against 
our commitments will be available in our 2022 
Sustainability Report which will be released later 
this year and will be made available online at 
tweglobal.com/sustainability.

BALANCE SHEET STRENGTH AND DIVIDEND

TWE maintains financial metrics that are consistent 
with an investment grade credit profile.

The Company’s balance sheet continues to be strong, 
efficient, and flexible. Net debt/EBITDAS was 1.8x in F22 
up from 1.6x in F21, and below TWE’s up to 2.0x through 
the cycle target. 

Total capex for the year was $112.2 million comprising 
maintenance and replacement capex of $70.6 million, 
and growth capex including the completion of our 
investment in South Australian luxury winemaking 
infrastructure, of $41.6 million. 

Cash conversion of 104.3% reflects continued strong 
operating cash flow performance, in addition to 
improved working capital. Excluding the net change 
in non-current luxury and premium inventory, 
cash conversion was 103.1%.

Earnings per share increased 4.1% to 44.7 cents per 
share and return on capital employed was up 0.1 ppt 
to 10.9%, excluding divested and acquired brands, 
demonstrating our continued disciplined approach 
to capital allocation.

For F22, TWE is pleased to declare a final dividend 
of 16.0 cents per share, fully franked, which brings 
the total dividend for F22 to 31 cents per share and 
a payout ratio of 69% at the upper end of the target 
dividend policy range.

THANKS AND CONCLUSION 

Looking ahead, we will remain focused on delivering 
sustainable top line growth and high single digit 
average earnings growth over the long term. 

We will continue to build momentum behind the 
premium portfolio which has seen strong 
performance globally in F22. We will also continue to 
grow distribution, demand, and availability for TWE’s 
priority brands as well as drive category-leading 
consumer-led innovation.

Whilst uncertain economic and geopolitical trends 
will continue in global markets throughout F23, we 
believe that our global footprint, the flexibility of our 
operating model and the outstanding execution 
capability of our teams means we are well positioned 
to navigate these headwinds. 

After two years of significant changes within our 
business, we enter F23 with momentum, focusing on 
our objectives of delivering quality earnings growth, 
efficient capital utilisation and sustainable 
shareholder returns.

We are confident that the positive changes we have 
made throughout the year have laid the foundations 
for our next phase of growth and innovation, 
positioning us well to deliver on our long-term growth 
ambitions we set out in the TWE 2025 strategy.

Our people, alongside our suppliers, customers, and 
partners, remain critical to delivering on this agenda. 
With that in mind, we want to thank everyone across 
our global team for their outstanding efforts during 
the year, for the care they continue to show each other, 
and the way they have embodied our TWE DNA as they 
pursue our strategic agenda and navigated another 
challenging year.

We would also like to thank the Board for their 
contribution throughout the year. We would like to  
take this opportunity to acknowledge the enduring 
contribution made by Warwick Every-Burns who will 
retire from the Board at our 2022 Annual General 
Meeting. Warwick has been a Non-Executive Director 
since the Company was floated in 2011 and has been 
an excellent director, having spent more than 10 years 
as Chair of the Human Resources Committee, and as 
Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis from 
September 2013 to March 2014.

In closing, we would also like to extend our thanks 
to you, our shareholders, for your ongoing belief 
and investment in, and support of, TWE.

Kind regards,

Paul Rayner 
Chairman  

Tim Ford  
Chief Executive Officer

Operating and financial review

Treasury Wine Estates (TWE) is a premium-focused, global leader in wine, 
listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The Company is focused 
on delivering shareholder value through the production of wine, and marketing 
and selling quality wine brands to consumers around the world

The	following	operating	and	financial	review 
contains	details	of	the	significant	changes	in	TWE’s	
state	of	affairs	that	occurred	during	the	year	ended 
30	June	2022.

TWE’S BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

TWE	is	a	vertically	integrated	wine	business	focused 
on	portfolio	premiumisation	supported	by	innovation,	
brand-building	investment,	and	global	sales	and	
marketing	execution.

TWE’s	brand	portfolio	is	represented	across	the	luxury,	
premium	and	commercial1	price	segments	and	sold 
in	more	than	70	countries.	At	the	heart	of	the	business	
is	TWE’s	global,	multi-regional	sourcing	model	which	
includes	world-class	vineyard	and	production	assets 
in	internationally	acclaimed	winemaking	regions	
including	Barossa	Valley	and	Coonawarra	in	Australia,	
Napa	Valley	in	the	United	States,	Marlborough	in	
New	Zealand,	Bordeaux	in	France	and	Tuscany	in	Italy.	

TWE	employs	a	global	team	of	more	than	2,500	people.

TWE’S ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND 
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

New operating model 

TWE	has	operated	under	a	new	global	business	model	
since	1	July	2021,	with	three	standalone	divisions	
enabling	strong	underlying	performance.

•  Penfolds	–	representing	global	sales	of	the	Penfolds	

brand	portfolio.

•  Treasury	Premium	Brands	(TPB)	–	representing 

the	sale	of	TWE’s	diverse	range	of	predominately	
Australia	and	New	Zealand	sourced	brands	globally.

•  Treasury	Americas	–	representing	sales	of	primarily	

US-sourced	brands	in	the	Americas.

Divestment of non-priority US brands and assets

In	F21,	TWE’s	US	business	was	reshaped	into	a	premium-
focused	wine	business	after	the	exit	of	a	significant	
portion	of	its	commercial	brand	portfolio.	The	
divestment	of	non-priority	US	brands	and	assets	
continued	in	F22	with	the	divestment	of	the	Provenance	
and	Chateau	St	Jean	brands	and	surplus	supply 
chain	assets.	TWE	has	now	substantially	completed 
its	US	divestment	program	with	confirmed	net	cash	
proceeds	of	approximately	$300	million,	in	line 
with	expectations.

Frank Family Vineyards acquisition 

In	December	2021,	TWE	completed	the	acquisition	of	
Frank	Family	Vineyards	(FFV),	an	acclaimed	luxury	wine	
business	based	in	California’s	Napa	Valley,	for	
US$315	million.	The	business	comprises	an	award-
winning	luxury	portfolio	across	three	collections	with	
retail	price	points	ranging	from	US$38	to	US$225	per	
bottle.	Supporting	the	portfolio	is	an	efficient,	capital-
light	Napa	Valley	asset	base,	comprising	two	vineyards,	
a	single	winery	and	a	highly	renowned	tasting	room	
and	direct	to	consumer	wine	club	model.

The	FFV	portfolio	complements	the	Treasury	Americas	
luxury	brand	portfolio,	filling	a	key	gap	for	luxury	
Chardonnay.	Treasury	Americas	is	well	placed	to	
enhance	FFV’s	growth	given	its	leading	luxury	sales	
credentials,	national	distribution	network,	and	
Californian	asset	base	and	sourcing	model.

COVID-19 impact on business performance 

During	F22,	pandemic-related	restrictions	continued 
to	impact	TWE’s	global	operations,	with	key	sales	
channels	remaining	in	varied	states	of	impact	and	
recovery.	Retail	and	e-commerce	sales	channels	
continued	to	operate	above	pre-pandemic	levels	with	
some	moderation	compared	to	F21,	where	demand	
was	particularly	elevated.	On-premise,	cellar	doors	
and	travel	retail	sales	channels	continued	to	
experience	varying	levels	of	disruption.	

1.	 TWE	participates	in	three	price	segments:	luxury	(A$30+),	premium	(A$10-A$30),	and	commercial	(A$5-A$10).	Segment	price	points	are	retail 

shelf	price.

and	opportunities.

The	Company	has	taken	deliberate	action	to	embed	
greater	balance	across	its	regional	earnings	mix	and	
sourcing	models.	

TWE’s	profitability	continues	to	be	increasingly	driven	
by	the	high-growth	luxury	and	premium	segments,

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

TWE’S BUSINESS MODEL

TWE	is	a	vertically	integrated	wine	business	with 
three	principal	activities:

•  grape	growing	and	sourcing

•  wine	production

•  wine	marketing,	sales	and	distribution.

Grape growing and sourcing 

TWE	accesses	grapes	and	bulk	wine	from	a	range 
of	sources	including	Company-owned	and	leased	
vineyards,	grower	vineyards,	and	the	bulk-wine	market,	
varying	by	region	as	shown	in	Figure	1.

A	global	sourcing	model,	diversified	across	geographic	
regions,	varietals	and	price	segments,	supports	growth	
and	limits	exposure	to	vintage	variation	risk,	as	well	as	
grape	and	bulk	wine	pricing	during	grape	shortages	
and	surpluses.

This	diversification	and	flexibility	also	enables	TWE 
to	react	to	changes	in	consumer	and	customer	
preferences	to	support	growth.

TWE	owns	and	leases	8,362	planted	hectares 
of	vineyards	in	Australia	and	New	Zealand	and	is 
the	custodian	of	sought-after	viticultural	assets	in	
renowned	winemaking	regions	including	Australia’s	
Barossa	Valley	and	Coonawarra,	and	Marlborough 
in	New	Zealand.

The	Company	also	owns	and	leases	2,702	planted	
hectares	in	key	viticultural	regions	in	California,	
including	Napa	Valley,	Sonoma	County,	Lake	County,	
and	the	Central	Coast.	In	Europe,	TWE	owns	and	leases	
90	planted	hectares	in	France’s	Bordeaux	region	and	
154	planted	hectares	in	Tuscany,	Italy.

Inflation and cost outlook 

Supply	chain	and	input	cost	inflationary	pressures 
are	expected	to	continue,	with	an	incremental	
$25	million	currently	estimated	in	F23.	In	addition, 
TWE’s	luxury	inventory	which	will	be	sold	in	F23	will	be	
primarily	from	the	2020	Australian	and	Californian	
vintages,	both	lower	yielding	and	higher	cost	vintages.	
Offsetting	these	costs,	TWE’s	global	supply	chain	
optimisation	program	(which	commenced	in	F21)	is	
now	complete,	with	the	program	confirmed	to	deliver

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

FUTURE PROSPECTS 

TWE	remains	focused	on	leveraging	its	organisational,	
strategic	and	physical	assets	across	the	world	to	
deliver	quality	growth.	Our	long-term	financial	growth	
objectives	are	centred	around	driving	profitability,	
efficient	capital	usage,	and	the	delivery	of	sustainable	
shareholder	returns,	as	listed	below.

•  Deliver	sustainable	top-line	growth	and	high	

single-digit	average	earnings	growth6. 

•  Continue	the	premiumisation	of	the	sales	mix.	

•  Expand	EBITS	margin	to	25%	and	beyond.

•  Restore	ROCE	to	pre-pandemic	levels	and	then	grow.

•  Maintain	cashflow	and	capital	metrics	in	line	with 
an	investment-grade	credit	profile,	including	cash	
conversion	of	90%+	(excluding	the	investment 
in	non-current	luxury	and	premium	inventory)	and	
net	debt	to	EBITDAS	to	remain	below	2.0x	through 
the	cycle.

Each	division	will	contribute	differently	towards	our	
growth	objectives,	with	their	own	financial	targets.	

•  Penfolds	will	focus	on	growth	in	revenue	to	drive	
earnings	growth,	with	an	EBITS	margin	target	of	
40-45%.	

•  Treasury	Americas	will	focus	on	premiumisation 

to	drive	revenue	growth	along	with	cost	optimisation	
to	support	higher	earnings	and	improved	return	on	
capital,	with	an	EBITS	margin	ambition	of	25%.	

•  Treasury	Premium	Brands’	growth	objectives	are	
focused	on	premiumisation	and	cost	and	capital	
efficiency	opportunities	with	a	high-teens	EBITS	
margin	ambition.

Areas	of	near-term	focus	that	may	impact	TWE’s 
future	operational	and	financial	prospects,	excluding	
material	business	risks	which	are	outlined	in	the	next	
section,	are	outlined	below.

Impact of high inflationary economic environment 
on consumer demand

The	impact	of	the	current	economic	outlook	on	
consumer	demand	is	uncertain.	However,	wine	
consumption	in	TWE’s	key	global	markets	is	currently,	
and	expected	to	remain,	strong	for	premium	and	luxury	
price	points,	reflecting	the	continuation	of	long-term	
premiumisation	trends	and	the	historical	resilience 
of	category	performance	through	past	economic	
downturns.	TWE	expects	its	portfolio	of	trusted,	well-
known	and	growing	brands	will	continue	to	perform	
well	in	this	environment.

6.	 Organic,	pre-material	items	and	on	a	constant	currency	basis.	Continuation	of	COVID-19	related	disruptions	to	key	sales	channels	for	luxury	wine	

may	impact	short-term	performance.

Various	risks	could	have	a	material	impact	on	the	achievement	of	TWE’s	strategies	and	future	prospects.	Below	are	
those	risks	that	TWE	considers	of	greatest	materiality	to	the	business,	and	existing	mitigations	against	these	risks.	

While	our	material	risks	have	not	fundamentally	changed	in	F22,	we	have	made	some	changes	to	the	risks	
included	below	to	reflect	how	the	Board	and	Executive	see	TWE’s	risk	profile	considering	both	financial	and 
non-financial	impacts.	Furthermore,	the	following	risks	have	elevated	in	focus:	

•  Turnover	of	key	talent	as	we	operate	in	an	environment	of	talent	shortage	and	heightened	levels 

of	employee	movement.

•  Pricing	and	investment	execution	and	cost	management	impacting	margin	outcomes,	due	to	increased

to source 
grapes 
and make 
premium wines

The	impacts	of	climate	change	may	
affect	our	ability	to	grow,	make,	and	
market	quality	wines.	A	changing	
climate	presents	physical	risks	such	
as	more	frequent	extreme	weather

cost	of	water.	

In	addition,	transition	risks	such	
as	government	actions	to	reduce

•  Investment	in	key	production	assets	to	manage	for	
compressed	vintages,	which	are	becoming	more	
frequent	with	climate	change.	

•  Climate	and	water	risk	assessments	allow	us	to	

understand	what	opportunities	and	risks	may	emerge 
as	a	result	of	climate	change	and	to	inform	our	
adaptation	responses.

•  Continued	improvement	of	our	data	and	weather

The	strength	of	TWE’s	portfolio	
of	brands	is	key	to	the	success	
of	the	business.	If	we	experience	
misrepresentation,	negative	or	critical	
coverage	in	either	traditional	and/

•  NSR declined 3.6% to $2,476.7 million, reflecting reduced global commercial portfolio volumes and the decline 

in shipments to Mainland China8, partly offset by strong growth in the premium and luxury portfolios.

•  NSR per case improved 16.1%, with TWE’s continued focus on portfolio premiumisation increasing the contribution 

of the premium and luxury portfolios to 83% of Group NSR, up from 77% in F21.

•  EBITS increased 2.6% to $523.7 million; adjusting for the contribution from Penfolds Australian COO sales in 

Mainland China, EBITS increased 22%.

•  EBITS margin increased 1.3 ppts to 21.1%, with improvement delivered across all divisions.

•  NPAT improved 4.2% to $322.6 million and EPS improved 4.1% to 44.7 cents per share.

•  ROCE 10.7%, down 0.1 ppt versus the pcp; excluding divested and acquired brands, ROCE was 10.9%.

•  Cash conversion 104.3%; excluding the change in premium and luxury inventory, cash conversion was 103.1%.

•  Net Debt to EBITDAS of 1.8x9 reflects the maintenance of TWE’s investment grade profile, up from 1.6x in the pcp 

following the acquisition of Frank Family Vineyards. 

•  Final dividend of 16.0 cents per share declared, fully franked, an increase of 23% on F21 final dividend; full year 

payout of 31.0 cents per share, or 69% of NPAT, at the upper end of TWE’s long-term dividend policy.

7.  On a constant currency basis, excluding the contribution of divested and acquired portfolio brands in Treasury Americas.
8.  In November and December 2020, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (‘MOFCOM’) announced provisional anti-dumping and countervailing 

measures, with a combined duty of 175.6% to be applied to the value of TWE Australian COO wine in containers of two litres or less imported into 
Mainland China. In March 2021, MOFCOM announced its final determination, announcing that the combined duty rate would remain in place for 
a minimum of five years.

9.  Includes last-twelve months EBITDAS of Frank Family Vineyards.

Execution	of	key	F22	strategic	priorities	delivered	strong	operating	momentum	across	each	brand	portfolio	division:

•  Penfolds	reported	an	8%	decline	in	EBITS	to	$319.3	million	and	an	EBITS	margin	of	44.5%	(up	0.6	ppts). 

The	significant	decline	in	shipments	to	Mainland	China	was	partly	offset	by	continued	strength	in	a	number 
of	global	markets	and	channels.	Penfolds	continues	to	attract	new	consumers	and	grow	distribution	and	
availability,	globally,	with	NSR	and	EBITS	outside	of	Mainland	China	increasing	by	45%	and	25%	respectively 
on	a	constant	currency	basis.	In	Asian	markets	outside	of	Mainland	China	NSR	grew	106%,	supported	by 
strong	depletion	trends	in	multiple	markets	led	by	consumer	demand	and	channel	penetration.	

•  Treasury	Americas	reported	a	21%	increase	in	EBITS	to	$185.6	million	and	an	EBITS	margin	of	19.3%	(up	2.9	ppts).	
The	priority	brand	portfolio	continued	to	perform	strongly	with	NSR	increasing	15%	in	the	year	on	a	constant	
currency	basis,	led	by	standout	growth	from	Beringer,	Stags’	Leap,	Matua	and	19	Crimes.	Following	the	
completion	of	significant	changes	in	brand	portfolio	and	asset	base,	including	the	acquisition	of	Frank	Family	
Vineyards,	Treasury	Americas	has	been	repositioned	as	a	premium	wine	business	with	a	focused	portfolio 
of	growing	brands.

•  Treasury	Premium	Brands	reported	a	27%	increase	in	EBITS	to	$79.6	million	and	an	EBITS	margin	of	10.0%	(up	

2.5	ppts).	Portfolio	premiumisation	continued,	with	strong	performance	by	priority	brands	including	19	Crimes,	
Pepperjack,	Squealing	Pig	and	Wynns.	Significant	distribution	gains	and	NSR	growth	for	priority	brands	in	key	
EMEA	and	Asia	markets	was	an	execution	highlight,	as	was	continued	innovation	success	across	the	portfolio.

•  Corporate	costs	increased	16%	reflecting	increased	investment	in	technology	and	higher	insurance	costs.

NSR	declined	4.7%	reflecting	the	divestment	of	the 
US	commercial	portfolio	in	March	2021,	the	decline 
in	shipments	to	Mainland	China	and	reduced	
commercial	volumes	in	the	UK	and	Australia. 
The	decline	was	partly	offset	by	strong	premium 
and	luxury	performance	in	Treasury	Americas	and	
Treasury	Premium	Brands.

NSR per case	improved	14.8%	with	TWE’s	continuing	
focus	on	portfolio	premiumisation	increasing	the	
contribution	of	the	luxury	and	premium	portfolios 
to	83%	of	Group	NSR,	up	from	77%	in	the	pcp.

COGS per case	increased	12.2%	reflecting	the	portfolio	
mix	shift,	higher	COGS	from	the	fire	and	drought	
impacted	2020	Californian	vintage	and	elevated	global	
supply	chain,	logistics	and	packaging	costs	which	
totalled	approximately	$25	million	vs	pcp.

CODB	improved	1.1%	to	$519.5	million,	driven	by	lower	
overheads	and	brand	building	investment	in	Mainland	
China	in	addition	to	reduced	global	commercial	
portfolio	volumes.	

EBITS margin	improved	1.8	ppts	to	21.1%,	continuing	
progress	towards	TWE’s	Group	EBITS	margin	target 
of	25%	and	beyond.

SGARA	loss	reflects	reduced	intake	from	the	2021	
Californian	vintage	and	2022	Australian	vintage,	
partially	offset	by	the	unwinding	of	losses	from 
previous	vintages.

Net finance costs	improved	4.5%,	driven	by	lower	
interest	expense	on	right	of	use	leases	and	a	reduction	
in	debt	establishment	costs.

Tax expense	declined	8.3%	in	F22,	reflecting	lower	
statutory	earnings.	The	effective	tax	rate	(before	
material	items)	of	28.7%	was	in	line	with	the	pcp.

Material Items	A	post-tax	net	material	items	loss 
of	$35.0	million	has	been	recognised,	and	relates	to	
costs	associated	with	the	divestment	of	US	brands 
and	assets,	the	acquisition	of	Frank	Family	Vineyards	
and	supply	chain	changes.	

EPS (before SGARA and material items)	increased 
7.3%	to	44.7	cents	per	share.	Reported	EPS	increased 
10.0%	to	36.5	cents	per	share.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

Penfolds collection of benchmark 
wines was established in the spirit 
of innovation and the endless 
pursuit of excellence. From the 
secret bottling of Grange in 1951 
through to the unbroken line of 
vintages, Grange is arguably 
Australia’s most iconic red wine. 

Penfolds	commitment	to	quality	has	always	been	
underpinned	by	a	consistent	and	recognisable	‘House	
Style’;	Penfolds	time-honoured	tradition	of	sourcing	the	
best	fruit	from	the	best	regions.	Today,	this	philosophy	
extends	beyond	Australia,	as	Penfolds	explores	the	
bountiful	soils	of	the	Napa	Valley,	Bordeaux,	Champagne,	
and	most	recently	China’s	winemaking	regions,	for	its	
winemaking	endeavours.

Penfolds Ventures Beyond
Penfolds	has	ventured	into	an	unexpected,	exciting	and	
visually	powerful	world	of	space	exploration	–	with	the	
launch	of	the	brand’s	fi	rst	global	brand	thematic	–	
‘Venture	Beyond’.	This	new	territory	unlocks	a	universe
of	playful	experiences	and	out-of-this-world	activations,	
designed	to	capture	the	imagination	of	global	luxury	
consumers.	The	introduction	of	’Venture	Beyond’	as	a	
global	thematic	is	a	strategic	fi	rst	and	a	shift	for	Penfolds	
from	fi	ne	wine	brand	to	global	luxury	icon.	A	logical
next	step	following	the	introduction	of	Penfolds	Meet 
Extraordinary	communications	platform	in	2020,	‘Venture	
Beyond’	personifi	es	Penfolds	innovative	spirit	and	desire	
to	push	the	boundaries	through	self-belief.	

Penfolds g5 
Penfolds	new	wine,
blended	from	fi	ve	vintages	
of	Grange,	Penfolds	g5, 
entwines	Grange	DNA	from	
the	exceptional	2010,	2012,	
2014,	2016,	and	2018	vintages.	
The	fi	nal	release	in	the	‘g’	
series trio, it was awarded a 
perfect	100-point	score	four	
times	by	leading	wine	critics	
James	Suckling,	Matthew	
Jukes,	Andrew	Caillard,	and
Ken	Gargett.

Penfolds NFT
Penfolds	partnered	with	BlockBar,	a	non-fungible	token	
(NFT)	marketplace	for	luxury	wine	and	spirits	products,
to	create	connections	with	consumers	who	buy	and	
trade	luxury	wine	in	a	new	way.	The	debut	limited	edition	
NFT,	tied	to	a	rare	Penfolds	Magill	Cellar	3	barrel	of	wine	
from	the	2021	vintage	valued	at	US$130,000,	sold	out	in

DIVISION INSIGHTS

Volume and NSR	declined	3.5%	and	9.3%	respectively,	
driven	by:

 – the	decline	in	shipments	to	Mainland	China	and	

deferral	of	the	Californian	Collection	release	from	
2H22	to	F23;	and

 – partly	offset	by	continued	positive	momentum	
across	the	portfolio	globally,	with	NSR	outside 
of	Mainland	China	increasing	by	45.1%	in	F22.

NSR per case declined	6.0%,	reflecting	the	impact	of	
reduced	Bin	and	Icon	portfolio	shipments	to	Mainland	
China	and	growth	in	the	premium	tier	Max’s	range	
across	all	markets.

COGS per case	improved	9.1%,	reflecting	the	change	 
in	portfolio	mix	and	the	cycling	of	one-off	impacts	
related	to	demurrage	and	incremental	product	costs	
in	F21	following	the	implementation	of	import	duties	 
by	The	Ministry	of	Commerce	of	the	People’s	Republic	
of	China	(MOFCOM).

CODB	improved	11.9%,	driven	by	reduced	costs	in	
Mainland	China	net	of	reinvestment	to	other	priority	
global	growth	markets.	

EBITS	declined	5.4%	to	$319.3	million,	and EBITS margin 
increased	1.8	ppts	to	44.5%;	excluding	Mainland	China,	
EBITS	increased	25.1%	in	F22.

•  Key	F22	execution	highlights	include:

 – growth	in	volume	and	NSR	across	a	number	of	

priority	growth	markets	and	channels,	reflecting	
the	momentum	behind	Penfolds	global	execution	
strategy	of	building	distribution	and	increasing	
brand	awareness;	and

 – standout	growth	delivered	in	Asia,	with	NSR	in	

regional	markets	ex-Mainland	China	increasing	
106%,	and	in	EMEA,	particularly	the	UK	and	Germany,	
where	NSR	grew	32.9%.	In	Asia,	NSR	growth	was	
supported	by	strong	depletion	trends,	and	
inventory	days	remain	in	line	with	the	prior	year.

•  Penfolds	will	continue	to	invest	in	its	multi-country 

of	origin	portfolio	strategy.	The	acquisition	of	
Chateau	Lanessan	is	expected	to	be	completed	 
in	1H2317,	more	than	doubling	the	existing	vineyard	
footprint	in	Bordeaux	and	providing	significant	
incremental	winery	production	capacity	that	will	
support	future	growth.

•  Penfolds	has	returned	to	a	position	of	supply	

constraint	across	key	luxury	Cabernet	Bins,	and 
has	implemented	price	increases	in	F23.

•  Trends	for	distribution	and	volume	growth	are	

expected	to	remain	strong	across	Penfolds	priority	
growth	markets.	EBITS	margin	is	expected	to	shift	
towards	the	mid-point	of	Penfolds	40-45%	target	
range	in	F23,	reflecting	higher	COGS	from	the	2020	
Australian	vintage	and	increased	investment	to	
accelerate	the	momentum	in	distribution	and	
demand	growth	achieved	in	F22.

BV	Private	Reserve	in	recent	years	to	honor	
the	great	bottlings	of	the	1960s	and	1970s.	
He	certainly	achieved	this	with	the

it	‘the	new	1974	Georges	de	Latour,’	which	
was	a	legend.”

VINTAGE UPDATE

Australia 

Vintage	2022	industry	yield	was	in	line	with	long-term	
averages,	but	significantly	below	last	year’s	record	
crush.	It	has	been	a	high-quality	Shiraz	and	Cabernet	
vintage	across	all	regions.	TWE	proactively	took	in	a	
smaller	2022	vintage	intake	as	part	of	its	plans	to	
manage	its	inventory	position	following	the	reduction 
in	shipments	to	Mainland	China.	Red	wine	intake	was 
a	highlight,	reflecting	high-quality	fruit	and	the	benefits	
of	the	$165	million	investment	in	South	Australian	luxury	
winemaking	infrastructure,	completed	in	time	for	
vintage	2022.	Fruit	processed	through	this	new	facility	
achieving	exceptional	grade	conversion	outcomes	that	
will	support	future	luxury	portfolio	growth.	

Bulk	wine	and	grape	pricing	has	reduced	over	the	last	
18	months	driven	by	a	number	of	factors,	including	the	
large	vintage	2021	harvest	and	the	significant	reduction	
in	demand	from	Mainland	China.	

California

Early	growing	conditions	for	the	2022	California	season	
are	positive.	Temperatures	for	the	first	half	of	the	
season	were	moderate,	ensuring	optimal	growing	
conditions	in	much	of	California.	Above	average	
temperatures	are	predicted	for	the	second	half	of	the	
year	across	most	of	the	state.	The	expectation	across	
California	is	that	vintage	2022	will	be	higher	yielding	
than	vintage	2021.	

Following	two	short	vintages,	increased	demand	has	
led	to	higher	prices	throughout	the	grape	and	bulk	
wine	market.

New Zealand

Vintage	2022	was	an	excellent	vintage	in	New	Zealand, 
with	strong	yields	across	all	varietals	and	regions. 
The	harvest	crush	for	Marlborough	Sauvignon	Blanc	
was	51%	higher	than	2021.	Central	Otago	Pinot	Noir 
had	an	outstanding	vintage	with	high	quality	wine 
and	strong	yields.	

Grape	pricing	is	likely	to	remain	high	in	the	short	term,	
with	bulk	wine	prices	easing,	but	remaining	high	
compared	to	long-term	average.	

France 

France	has	experienced	a	challenging	growing 
season	to	date	with	a	mild	to	dry	winter,	early	frost 
in	the	Bordeaux	region	and	heat	waves	in	all	regions.	
The	current	heat	and	sunshine	are	helping	the	late	
varietals	such	as	Cabernet	Sauvignon	to	fully	mature.	
Expectations	are	for	below	average	industry	intake 
in	vintage	2022.	For	TWE,	intake	will	be	higher	due	to 
the	acquisition	of	new	vineyards	which	are	providing	
access	to	incremental	sourcing	of	luxury	fruit.	

Luxury	grape	and	bulk	wine	pricing	is	largely	stable.	

Italy

Growing	conditions	in	Italy	have	been	challenging	due	
to	hot	weather	and	a	lack	of	rain.	This	will	impact	
vintage	2022	industry	intake,	which	is	expected	to	be	
below	the	long-term	average.	TWE	company-owned	
vineyards	are	performing	well,	with	heat	impacting	only	
a	small	percentage	of	vines	on	the	properties.	

Bulk	wine	contracts	are	in	place,	albeit	at	slightly	higher	
prices	than	vintage	2021,	reflecting	increased	demand	
for	Italian	country	of	origin	wine.

Sustainability

One year into our evolved sustainability strategy, we’ve made good progress 
against our plans to cultivate a brighter future, building momentum across all 
aspects of our agenda.

The progress made throughout the year reflects the collective effort of our  
team and partners who recognise that sustainability is integral to building  
a more resilient business, producing sustainable wine, and prioritising the  
wellbeing of our people, communities, and consumers.

Whilst we have more work to do, we recognise the leadership role we must  
play in shaping a positive future for everyone who touches our business,  
from grape to glass.

OUR APPROACH

PROGRESS AGAINST OUR AGENDA

Our	approach	to	sustainability	is	embedded	in	our	
Ambition	and	Game	Plan	and	driven	by	our	TWE	DNA. 
It	reflects	a	clear	commitment	to	innovation,	
partnership,	and	taking	a	sustainability	leadership 
role	not	just	across	the	global	wine	sector	but	in	the	
beverages	sector	more	broadly.

This	bold	ambition	requires	an	integrated	approach	to	
sustainability	with	a	focus	on	long-term	value	creation	
and	leading	collective	action	to	effectively	manage	
risks	and	make	the	most	of	new	and	emerging	
opportunities.

This	is	coupled	with	investments	in	our	data,	processes	
and	systems	to	support	this	transition,	ensuring	that	
sustainability	is	embedded	into	our	business.

Our	sustainability	strategy	and	programs	are	informed	
by	best	practice	initiatives	and	guidance	including	the	
Global	Reporting	Initiative,	the	United	Nations	Global	
Compact	and	the	UN	Sustainable	Development	Goals.	
We	continue	to	monitor	the	Environmental,	Social, 
and	Governance	(ESG)	reporting	landscape	and	will	
respond	to	significant	changes	(currently	under	
consultation)	in	future	reporting.

Since	launching	our	sustainability	strategy	in	
September	2021,	we	have	made	significant	progress	
against	our	agenda,	including	against	our	targets 
and	commitments	across	our	material	focus	areas.

Throughout	the	year,	we	saw	increased	interest	in 
our	roadmap,	accelerated	by	a	range	of	social	and	
environmental	events,	such	as	floods	in	Australia 
and	the	ongoing	drought	in	California,	that	has	
ensured	sustainability	remains	on	the	agenda	across	
stakeholder	groups	including	consumers.

Some	of	the	key	performance	highlights	include:

•  refinancing	of	$1.4	billion	of	existing	debt	into	a	

Sustainability	Linked	Loan	that	rewards	performance	
against	agreed	milestones	with	discounts	on	the	
loan	rate;	

•  a	comprehensive	review	of	water	management	

across	the	global	viticulture	and	winery	operations,	
with	clear	recommendations	to	drive	our	water	
security	and	efficient	usage	strategies;	

•  commitment	to	invest	$20	million	on	solar	panel 

and	meter	technology	across	our	global	production	
network	in	support	of	our	ambition	to	achieve 
100%	renewable	electricity	by	2024;	

• 

improving	levels	of	gender	representation 
across	the	global	business,	with	overall	female	
representation	up	1.3	ppts	to	41.5%	while	females 
in	leadership	roles	were	down	0.2	ppts	to	44.9%.	

Whilst	we	are	pleased	with	our	performance	in	F22	we	
acknowledge	that	we	have	more	work	to	do.	We	remain	
focused	on	improving	the	quality	of	our	data	and	
supporting	systems	and	increasing	the	integration 
of	sustainability	considerations	across	our	business. 
A	fulsome	overview	of	progress	against	our	strategy,	
including	the	targets	and	commitments,	will	be	
available	in	our	2022	Sustainability	Report,	released	
later	this	year.

Our	sustainability	agenda	has	three	focus	areas:

BUILDING A RESILIENT BUSINESS

We	want	to	ensure	our	business 
is	resilient	in	the	face	of	increasing	
uncertainty,	complexity,	and	change.

FOSTERING HEALTHY  
AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES

We	want	to	foster	safe,	sociable,	and	
connected	communities	where	our	
brands	are	promoted,	and	our	wine 
is	consumed,	safely	and	responsibly.

PRODUCING SUSTAINABLE WINE

We	want	every	consumer	to	
experience	wine	that	is	sustainably	
grown,	made,	and	packaged.

GOVERNANCE AND REPORTING

In	F22	we	refreshed	our	management	oversight 
of	sustainability	to	respond	more	effectively	to 
our	ambition	and	the	increasing	pace	of	change. 
Progress	against	strategic	roadmaps	for	each	of 
our	material	topics,	together	with	enabling	areas 
such	as	communications	and	data,	is	reported	
monthly	to	executive	sponsors,	with	quarterly 
reporting	to	the	Executive	Leadership	Team	(ELT).	

The	Board	oversees	TWE’s	approach	to,	and	
management	of	ESG	matters	and	receives	updates 
on	sustainability	and	the	status	of	key	priorities	and	
initiatives.	TWE	established	a	Board	Wine	Operations	
and	Sustainability	Committee	in	F22	for	greater	focus 
on	strategic,	long-term	planning	and	operational 
issues	in	winemaking,	sustainability,	and	supply	chain 
in	its	own	operations	and	relationships	with	the	sector 
in	different	winemaking	regions.

TWE’s	reporting	on	ESG	topics	is	captured	in	the	
Company’s	annual	Sustainability	Report,	which	
provides	updates	on	progress	and	performance. 
The	Board	has	oversight	of	our	key	ESG	disclosures,	
including	the	Sustainability	Report.	

TASKFORCE ON CLIMATE RELATED FINANCIAL 
DISCLOSURES (TCFD) 

As	a	global	viticultural	business,	TWE	is	exposed	to	both	
physical	and	transitional	climate	risks.	The	physical	
impacts	of	climate	change	include	more	frequent	
extreme	weather	events,	but	importantly	for	our	
business,	the	long-term	risks	arising	from	changes 
in	climate	patterns	such	as	increased	temperature	
and	water	security.

Transitional	risks	and	opportunities	arise	from	political,	
legal,	technological,	and	market	responses	to	the	
challenges	posed	by	climate	change	and	the	
transition	to	a	lower	carbon	economy.	We	continue 
to	monitor	these	emerging	trends,	together	with	
changing	consumer	preferences	and	expectations.	

We	are	seeking	to	increasingly	align	our	climate	
disclosures	with	the	recommendations	of	the	TCFD.	
Following	the	conclusion	of	our	global	Climate	
Scenario	Analysis	in	F21,	we	sharpened	our	focus 
this	year	with	a	global	climate	risk	model	(for	our	
viticultural	sites)	that	uses	localised	data	to	enable	
more	specific	projections.	The	model	will	inform	the	
range	of	risk	mitigation	and	adaptation	responses 
that	we	might	consider	at	our	viticultural	sites. 
We	are	also	investing	in	a	range	of	research	and	
development	initiatives	including	trials	in	dam	
coverings	and	vineyard	shading,	as	well	as	refreshing	
portions	of	our	prestige	growing	locations	in	the	
Barossa	and	Coonawarra	to	help	them	prepare	for	
future	climate	change.

Inclusion, equity and diversity

TWE’s inclusion, equity and diversity (IE&D) strategy is underpinned by a 
commitment to upholding the International Bill of Human Rights, as well as the 
United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and Modern 
Slavery Acts. TWE benefits from the diversity of our people, with their variety 
of backgrounds, ideas, cultures, ethnicities, talents, genders, and voices.

Our	inclusive,	supportive	and	collaborative	culture	
attracts	and	retains	the	best	talent,	with	an	
environment	where	people	from	diverse	backgrounds	
can	bring	their	unique	perspectives	and	contribute 
to	the	organisation’s	success.

The	Board	has	committed	to	reviewing	and	assessing	
progress	against	TWE’s	IE&D	objectives	annually. 
The	Company	is	pleased	to	report	progress	in	F22,	
together	with	the	F23	measurable	objectives.

The	Company’s	IE&D	policy	can	be	found	at: 
tweglobal.com.

F22 DIVERSITY TARGET AND OBJECTIVES

F22 PROGRESS AGAINST THE IE&D STRATEGY

Recommendation	1.5	of	the	ASX	Corporate	Governance	
Principles	and	Recommendations	states	that	a	
company’s	Board	or	Board	committee	is	to	set	
measurable	objectives	for	achieving	gender	diversity.	
The	F22	diversity	targets	set	by	the	Board	are:

•  to	increase	female	representation	in	leadership 

roles	to	50%	by	2025,	while	continuing	to	foster	an	
inclusive	culture;	

•  to	increase	female	representation	across	the	total	

TWE	workforce	to	42%	by	2025.

Our	refreshed	IE&D	strategy	has	three	pillars.

1.  Leaders who model our DNA:	developing	leaders	

who	steadfastly	role	model	and	lead	inclusion,	and	
have	a	true	understanding	of	employee	experience	
and	culture,	enabled	by	world-class	leadership	and	
development	programs.

2.  Engaged team members, consumers and 

communities:	achieving	meaningful	outcomes 
from	our	people,	who	bring	their	whole	selves 
to	work,	and	consumers	who	recognise	our	
commitment	to	inclusion	and	diversity	through 
our	brands	and	partnerships,	with	purpose-aligned	
communities,	suppliers,	and	initiatives.

3.	 Employer of choice:	creating	industry-leading	

policies	and	work	processes	that	maximise	inclusion	
and	minimise	bias,	with	innovation	through	team	
contribution	and	data-informed	plans	and	
allocation	of	resources.

The	CEO	and	all	Executive	Leadership	team	(ELT)	
members	had	a	diversity	and	inclusion	key	
performance	objective	(KPO)	to	deliver	the 
objectives	in	F22.

Highlights	of	progress	against	the	F22	plan	supporting	
the	IE&D	strategy	include:

1.  Leaders who model our DNA

• 

Inclusion	was	hardwired	into	TWE’s	leadership	
competency	model,	defining	what	‘good	
leadership’	looks	like	at	TWE	and	setting	
behavioural	expectations	(what	it	is	and	what 
it	isn’t)	through	the	attribute	of	‘helping 
people	belong’.

•  To	build	leadership	capability	and	awareness,	
more	than	190	leaders	undertook	inclusive	
leadership	training	which	included	managing	
biases,	working	inclusively,	maximising	collective	
intelligence,	better	understanding	thinking	styles,	
and	using	diversity	of	thinking	to	solve	challenges.

•  To	show	how	our	IE&D	strategy	is	underpinned 
by	beliefs	which	inform	and	underpin	actions,	
and	to	define	a	standard	to	which	we	can	be 
held	accountable,	an	IE&D	manifesto	was	
co-created	through	an	inclusive	and	consultative	
process	and	introduced	to	the	organisation	
through	inclusive	and	courageous	conversations. 
We	will	build	on	this	foundation	in	F23.	

•  To	lift	leadership	capability	and	build	awareness 
of	inclusion	through	the	eyes	of	another,	the	ELT 
participated	in	an	inclusive	(reverse)	mentoring	
program.	Each	member	of	the	ELT	was	mentored 
by	an	employee	from	a	different	background 
and	through	courageous	conversations, 
developed	a	stronger	and	personalised 
understanding	of	the	importance	of	inclusion, 
our	IE&D	strategy,	and	plans.

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022 – 41

INCLUSION, EQUITY AND DIVERSITY (CONTINUED)

•  To increase the number of females in senior 

leadership, we evolved the design of ‘Empower 
Me’, our female and non-binary top talent 
leadership development program. More than 
25 females participated in the program this year, 
during which two were promoted.

2.  Engaged employees, consumers and communities

•  To better understand the employee experience 
at TWE, we incorporated inclusion feedback 
and measurement in our annual all employee 
engagement survey. Our people told us: 
they feel a strong sense of inclusion, their unique 
difference is valued, they feel safe to be their 
authentic selves, and they value our focus on 
mental health and wellbeing. We also heard 
there is an opportunity for us to help people 
feel comfortable being innovative and taking 
calculated risks, as well as making sure internal 
career opportunities are visible and we support 
them by investing time in their learning 
and development.

•  To ensure greater diversity of voices in the 

governance of our IE&D strategy and plans, 
we extended the membership of the global IE&D 
council beyond the ELT to include representatives 
from each global Employee Resource Group (ERG) 
and all Regional IE&D Councils. This has helped 
build connection and relationships between ERGs 
and regions and promote greater collaboration 
and innovation, which has been evident through 
many of the ERG initiatives in F22.

•  To drive more meaningful connection between 
our consumers and brands, we have integrated 
purpose into our marketing strategies. For 
example, Squealing Pig launched a new long-
term partnership with Sydney Gay and Lesbian 
Mardi Gras and Sydney WorldPride 2023, 
significantly improving brand affinity and 
conversion. Wolf Blass introduced a 
comprehensive inclusivity, equality and diversity 
pillar into its new global platform ‘Why Settle 
When You Can Soar’, with partnerships in the 
LGBTQIA+, disability, and female empowerment 
spaces established.

•  To leverage external expertise and escalate 

progress, TWE Enable established a partnership 
with the Australian Network on Disability and TWE 
Pride with Pride in Diversity. Through the efforts 
of TWE Pride, in its first submission, TWE has been 
acknowledged with the 2021 Bronze Award for 
inclusivity of LGBTQIA+ employees by the 
Australian Workplace Equality Index.

•  To make TWE more accessible, we have installed 

mobile wayfinding technology (BindiMaps) 
at 161 Collins Street Melbourne and Magill Estate 
Adelaide, with further sites to follow. 

•  To raise awareness, we held or participated in 
local and global events including 16 days of 
Activism against Gender Based Violence; 
International Women’s Day; Taste of Harmony 
and Pride Month; an Aboriginal walk of Melbourne; 
Culture Day in Asia; and International Day of 
People with Disabilities. We were also invited 
to speak at, host and participate in numerous 
industry events, including Black Food and Wine 
Event (US), Black Business Week, and Diversity 
in Grocery LIVE! (EMEA). 

3.  Employer of choice

•  To better support people impacted by domestic 
and family violence, we upgraded and extended 
benefits available through a global policy 
including up to 10 days of paid leave for both the 
impacted employee and anyone supporting 
someone impacted by domestic and family 
violence, and emergency financial support of 
up to $5,000.

•  To sustain our culture, balance individual 

autonomy and flexibility with connection and 
belonging, and the needs of individuals with 
those of teams and the business, we established 
the TWE approach to blended work. This is based 
on coming together and connecting in person 
more often than not, prioritising TWE common 
days onsite and leveraging our ‘Find Your Flex’ 
policy. This approach was developed after 
extensive employee consultation and is based 
on a test-and-learn methodology that means 
specific details will vary by country and over time 
as we continue to learn and adapt.

•  To ensure remuneration equity globally, we 

reviewed our gender pay gap to determine the 
difference between male and female earnings, 
irrespective of role or seniority. Five adjustments 
to remuneration were made as a result of 
this analysis.

•  To understand the impact of hiring, promotion, 

and termination decisions on female 
representation, we developed an Internal Labour 
Map. The map shows we have strong female 
representation in all divisions other than 
throughout our Supply and IT functions and, even 
within these areas of low female representation, 
there are functions and locations with strong 
levels of female representation. This information 
will help direct our focus during F23 in seeking 
to increase overall female representation.

•  We were recognised externally by: the Australian 

Financial Review as one of the Best Places to Work; 
the Drinks Association as the Most Inclusive and 
Diverse Workplace; and certified as a Great Place 
to Work in the UK. TWE Americas was recognised 
as one of the Healthiest Employers of the Bay Area 
(fourth in the mid-sized firm category).

ROLE OF THE BOARD

The	responsibilities	of	the	Board	as	set	out	in	the 
Board	Charter	include	the	following.

Strategic guidance and effective oversight 
of management

•  Providing	input	into,	and	approval	of,	the	Company’s	
corporate	strategy,	performance	objectives,	and	
business	plans	as	developed	by	management.

•  Appointing	the	CEO	and	managing	succession	
planning,	as	well	as	overseeing	changes	to	the	
Executive	Leadership	Team,	with	a	view	to	ensuring	
senior	management	has	the	appropriate	resources	
to	enable	implementation	of	the	Company’s	
strategic	initiatives.	

•  Directing,	monitoring	and	assessing	the	Company’s	
performance	against	strategic	and	business	plans.

•  Approving	and	monitoring	capital	management,	
including	major	capital	expenditure,	acquisitions,	
and	divestments.

Risk assessment and management

•  Reviewing	and	evaluating	the	integrity	of	the	

Company’s	systems	of	risk	management	(for	both	
financial	and	non-financial	risks),	legal	compliance,	
and	internal	compliance	and	control.

•  Reviewing	and	approving	the	Company’s	risk	

appetite	statement.

Obligations to stakeholders

•  Monitoring	and	reviewing	processes	aimed	at	

ensuring	integrity	of	financial	and	other	reporting.

•  Monitoring	compliance	with	adopted	strategies,	
procedures	and	standards,	including	corporate	
governance	standards.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (CONTINUED)

The	Board	recognises	the	importance	of	cultural,	
geographic,	and	gender	diversity	amongst	its	
members,	which	is	reflected	in	the	current	
representation	on	the	Board,	with	three	non-executive	
directors	based	offshore	in	regions	in	which	the	
Company	operates.	The	Board	considers	that	it	also	
has	an	appropriate	mix	of	director	tenure,	with	its	
members	ranging	from	newly	appointed	to	longer	
standing	directors.	As	at	June	2022,	the	average	tenure	
for	the	Company’s	non-executive	directors	was	
7.7	years.	Mr	Every-Burns	has	advised	of	his	intention 
to	retire	from	the	Company’s	Board	at	the	upcoming	
Annual	General	Meeting	and	the	Board	has	clear	
succession	plans	in	place	to	ensure	continued 
Board	renewal.	

In	order	to	maintain	gender	diversity	in	the	
composition	of	the	Board,	in	2019	the	Board	set	itself 
a	measurable	objective	that	at	least	30%	of	its	directors	
will	be	of	each	gender	going	forward.	Since	the	
retirement	of	Louisa	Cheang	on	1	September	2021,	
women	represent	37.5%	of	the	Board.	In	order	to	
maintain	gender	diversity	into	the	future,	in	2022	the	
Board	has	set	itself	a	measurable	objective	to	maintain	
at	least	30%	of	each	gender	going	forward.

The	Board	is	committed	to	ensuring	its	performance 
is	enhanced	through	its	director	induction	and	ongoing	
education	program.	The	Board’s	ongoing	education	
incorporates	site	visits	and	presentations	given 
by	management	and	external	parties	concerning	
developments	impacting,	or	likely	to	impact, 
the	business.

Independence

The	Board,	having	reviewed	the	position,	interests, 
and	relationships	of	all	non-executive	directors	
currently	in	office,	considers	that	all	non-executive	
directors	are	independent.

During	the	year,	non-executive	directors	met	
periodically,	without	the	presence	of	management, 
to	have	the	opportunity	to	discuss	key	matters,	
amongst	the	non-executive	directors.

Annual director elections

Under	the	Constitution	of	the	Company,	non-executive	
directors	are	required	to	retire	and	may	seek 
re-election,	at	least	every	three	years.	However,	having	
regard	to	the	global	nature	of	the	Company,	emerging	
governance	requirements	in	key	markets,	the	inherent	
benefits	for	Board	renewal,	and	to	ensure	
accountability	of	directors,	in	2019	the	Board	adopted 
a	policy	pursuant	to	which	all	non-executive	directors	
will	seek	re-election	annually.

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Information	on	the	operations	and	financial	position 
for	TWE	is	set	out	in	the	OFR	accompanying	this	
Directors’	report.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

During	the	financial	year,	the	Company’s	state 
of	affairs	was	significantly	impacted	by	the	
implementation	of	the	Company’s	new	divisional	
operating	model,	the	divestment	of	non-priority 
US	brands	and	assets,	the	Frank	Family	Vineyards	
acquisition,	and	COVID-19.	The	nature	of	these 
impacts	have	been	discussed	in	various	ASX 
announcements	made	by	TWE.	Further	information 
regarding	these	impacts	on	TWE	can	be	found 
in	the	OFR,	accompanying	this	Directors’	report.	

BUSINESS STRATEGIES, PROSPECTS AND 
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS

The	OFR	sets	out	information	on	TWE’s	business	
strategies	and	prospects	for	future	financial	years 
and	refers	to	likely	developments	in	the	Company’s	
operations,	along	with	the	expected	results	of	those	
operations	in	future	financial	years.	

Since	the	end	of	the	financial	year,	the	directors	
approved	a	final	100%	franked	dividend	of	16	cents 
per	share.	This	dividend	has	not	been	recognised

On	1	July	2022	the	Group	purchased	a	number	of	
vineyard	assets	in	America	for	US$73	million	that	were	
previously	subject	to	long	term	lease	arrangements.	
These	assets	have	been	acquired	with	a	view	to	resale	
in	F23	as	part	of	the	ongoing	restructure	of	supply	
assets	in	America.

In	July	2022	the	Group	agreed	to	acquire	a	78.6%	stake	
in	Chateau	Lanessan,	including	its	production	and	
vineyard	assets	in	the	Bordeaux	region	of	France. 
The	cash	outflow	associated	with	the	acquisition	is	
expected	to	be	approximately	A$60	million,	including 
a	capital	injection	to	fund	winery	and	vineyard	
development.	Completion	is	expected	in	October	2022,	
subject	to	satisfaction	of	conditions	precedent.

The	directors	are	not	aware	of	any	other	matters	or	
circumstances	that	have	arisen	since	the	end	of	the

significantly	affect	the	operations	of	the	Group,	the	
results	of	those	operations	or	the	state	of	affairs	of	the	
Group	in	subsequent	financial	years.

material	topics	for	the	Group,	and	the	Executive	
Leadership	Team	actively	monitors	progress	against	
our	strategic	roadmaps	and	public	targets.

Further	detail	on	the	Group’s	sustainability	strategy,	
initiatives	and	achievements	are	detailed	in	the

and	regulatory	frameworks	governing	energy, 
water,	waste,	and	greenhouse	gas	reporting	for 
its	operations	globally.	

Management	of	environmental	issues	and	risks	is	a	
core	element	of	the	work	program	delivered	by	
sustainability	and	technical	teams	and	is	detailed	in

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022 – 51

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

The	Group	recognises	the	direct	link	between	effective	
management	of	its	environmental	impacts	and	its	
business	success.	To	this	end,	the	Group’s	environment	
policies,	procedures	and	practices	are	designed	to	
ensure	that	the	Group	maintains	focus	on	resource	
efficiency	and	continuous	improvement,	and	that	
environmental	laws	and	permit	conditions	are	
complied	with.	Compliance	with	these	regulatory 
and	operational	programs	has	been	incorporated 
into	relevant	business	practices	and	processes.	

The	Group	monitors	its	operations	through	a	Health,	
Safety	and	Environment	(HSE)	Management	System,	
overlaid	with	a	risk	management	and	compliance	
system	overseen	by	the	Audit	and	Risk	Committee.	
Although	the	Group’s	various	operations	involve	
relatively	low	inherent	environmental	compliance	risk,	
matters	of	non-compliance	are	identified	from	time 
to	time	and	are	corrected.	Where	required,	the	
appropriate	regulatory	authority	is	notified.

Under	the	compliance	system,	the	Audit	and	Risk	
Committee	and	the	Board	receive	six-monthly	reports	
detailing	any	matters	involving	non-compliance	and	
potential	non-compliance.	These	reports	also	detail	
the	corrective	action	that	has	been	taken.

Under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting 
Act 2007	(Cth)	(NGER	Act),	the	Company	is	required	to	
report	on	its	Australian	operations	that	exceed	specific	
greenhouse	gas	emissions	or	energy-use	thresholds.	
The	Company	submitted	its	annual	NGER	Act	report 
by	the	prescribed	reporting	date	of	31	October	2021.	

During	the	financial	year,	the	Group	has	not	been	
convicted	of	any	significant	breaches	of 
environmental	regulation.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

There	are	no	proceedings	brought	or	intervened	in, 
or	applications	to	bring	or	intervene	in	proceedings, 
on	behalf	of	the	Company	by	a	member	or	other	
person	entitled	to	do	so	under	section	237	of	the	
Corporations Act 2001	(Cth).

NON-AUDIT SERVICES AND AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE

KPMG	is	the	Company’s	auditor,	appointed	with	effect	
from	23	October	2013.

The	Group	may	decide	to	engage	the	auditor,	KPMG, 
on	assignments	additional	to	their	statutory	audit	
duties	where	such	services	are	not	in	conflict	with	their	
role	as	auditor	and	their	expertise	and/or	detailed	
experience	with	the	Company	may	allow	cost	
efficiencies	for	the	work.

The	Board	has	considered	the	position	and,	in	
accordance	with	advice	received	from	the	Audit 
and	Risk	Committee,	is	satisfied	that	the	provision 
of	non-audit	services	by	KPMG	is	compatible	with 
the	general	standard	of	independence	for	auditors	
imposed	by	the	Corporations Act 2001	(Cth). 
The	Board	also	notes	the	following.

•  The	engagements	for	all	non-audit	services	have	
been	reviewed	by	the	Chief	Financial	Officer	and,	
where	relevant,	the	Chair	of	the	Audit	and	Risk	
Committee	in	accordance	with	the	Committee’s	

52 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022

rules	of	engagement	regarding	the	provision	of	
non-audit	services	by	the	External	Auditor	contained	
in	the	Committee	Charter	to	ensure	they	do	not	
impact	the	actual	or	perceived	impartiality	and	
objectivity	of	KPMG.

•  None	of	the	services	provided	by	KPMG	undermine	

the	general	principles	relating	to	auditor	
independence	as	set	out	in	APES	110	Code	of	Ethics 
for	Professional	Accountants.

During	the	financial	year,	the	fees	paid	or	payable	for	
non-audit	services	provided	by	KPMG	and	its	related	
practices	totalled	$170,371.	Amounts	paid	or	payable 
for	audit	and	non-audit	services	are	disclosed	in	
note	31	of	the	financial	statements.

A	copy	of	the	auditor’s	independence	declaration 
is	set	out	on	page	53	and	forms	part	of	this	report.

INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE

Rule	40	of	the	Company’s	Constitution	provides	that	
the	Company	must,	to	the	extent	permitted	by	and	
subject	to	the	Corporations Act 2001	(Cth),	indemnify	
each	officer,	director	and	Company	Secretary 
of	a	Group	company	in	respect	of	any	liability,	loss,	
damage,	cost,	or	expense	incurred	or	suffered,	or 
to	be	incurred	or	suffered,	by	the	officer,	director	or	
Company	Secretary	in	or	arising	out	of	the	conduct 
of	any	activity	of	the	relevant	Group	company	or	the	
proper	performance	of	any	duty	of	that	officer, 
director	or	Company	Secretary.

Each	director	of	Treasury	Wine	Estates	Limited	has	
entered	into	a	Deed	of	Indemnity,	Insurance	and	
Access	(Deed)	with	the	Company.	No	director	or	officer	
of	the	Company	has	received	a	benefit	under	an	
indemnity	from	the	Company	during	the	period	ended	
30	June	2022	or	to	the	date	of	this	report.

In	accordance	with	the	Company’s	Constitution	and	
the	Deed,	the	Company	has	paid	a	premium	in	respect	
of	an	insurance	contract	that	covers	directors	and	
officers	of	the	Group	companies.

Introduction from the Chairman of the Human Resources Committee 
Dear shareholders,

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present our F22 
remuneration report for which we will seek your approval 
at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) in October 2022. 
This remuneration report is designed to demonstrate 
the Company’s performance, executive reward framework 
and outcomes, and their strong alignment with our 
strategic objectives and shareholder interests.

This is my final letter to shareholders as the Chair of the 
Human Resources Committee (HRC) as I hand over the 
reins to Lauri Shanahan from 1 July 2022 and retire from 
the TWE Board following the upcoming AGM in October. 
Lauri has been on the TWE Board and a member of the 
HRC for almost six years, and will be an exceptional Chair. 
She has an extensive career background in retail, 
consumer brand, e-commerce, and environment, social 
and governance (ESG), and holds several Board positions 
in the US - Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NYSE: DECK), 
Cedar Fair Entertainment Company (NYSE: FUN), and G 
Squared Ascend (NYSE: GSQD.U). Lauri has previously held 
the position of Chair of the Compensation Committee at 
Deckers and Cedar Fair and is currently the Compensation 
Committee Chair at G Squared. Lauri is an American 
citizen, living in California and Colorado.

F22 saw TWE move from a period of recovery and 
significant restructuring and into an exciting new phase 
of growth and execution under our brand-led divisional 
portfolio model. Each of our new divisions – Penfolds, 
Treasury Premium Brands and Treasury Americas – are 
now on a clear and positive trajectory towards their 
respective long-term growth objectives. The benefits 
of separate focus and accountability are already very 
evident throughout TWE. Our short-term incentives 
support our Game Plan by rewarding our executives 
and global teams for accelerating divisional focus and 
delivery across the portfolio to unlock growth, whilst at 
the same time ensuring alignment to our company-wide 
strategic ambitions. Focused execution of the plan and 
priorities from our global teams has resulted in strong 
underlying earnings growth during F22 across each 
of the three brand portfolio divisions. This remarkable 
performance was delivered against a backdrop of varied 
and ongoing impacts from the global pandemic, supply 
chain disruptions, and the introduction of unprecedented 
import duties on Australian wine by MOFCOM.

We are confident that our executives have set the 
Company up exceptionally well for long term success 
and are positive on our outlook across key markets outside 
of Mainland China. We remain focused on continuing the 

strong momentum of growth in our luxury and premium 
portfolios as evidenced through our acquisition of 
Frank Family Vineyards and the divestment of our 
US commercial portfolio. 
We have reported EBITS1 growth of 3% to $523.7 million 
and EBITS margin improved 1.3 percentage points to 21.1%, 
reflecting excellent operating momentum and 
outstanding execution of strategic priorities across all 
divisions. Excluding Penfolds Australian country-of-origin 
sales to Mainland China, NSR and EBITS grew 9% and 22% 
respectively. ROCE declined slightly from F21 to 10.7% 
(10.9% when impacts from divested and acquired portfolio 
brands in Treasury Americas are excluded) but remains 
ahead of our weighted cost of capital. Portfolio 
premiumisation continues, with the contribution of NSR 
from the premium and luxury portfolios increasing 
6 percentage points to 83%. The Company’s capital 
structure remains flexible and efficient, and we have 
retained a strong balance sheet and investment grade 
capital structure, with net debt2/EBITDAS3 of 1.8x. 
The Company’s Total Shareholder Return performance, 
whilst still impacted by the unanticipated and ongoing 
external forces on our business, improved slightly from F21. 

TWE’s remuneration practices are designed to attract, 
motivate, and retain the high-calibre talent needed to 
deliver sustainable results that out-perform the market 
over the long term. As the Chair of the Committee, I have 
consulted considerably in recent months with investors 
and proxy advisors to discuss the challenges with ensuring 
remuneration outcomes for F22 reflect an alignment 
between pay, TWE’s strategic objectives, financial 
performance and shareholder returns given the 
cumulative and continuing impacts of the pandemic, 
supply chain disruptions and the tariffs imposed by China. 
Following the challenging year in F21, in F22 executives were 
tasked with aggressive, stretch goals to pivot the business 
and mitigate these impacts by driving growth in other 
markets and focusing on delivering growth in earnings. 

Executives have delivered impressive results. Once again, 
however, remuneration outcomes have been directly 
impacted. Whilst short-term incentive outcomes in F22 
appropriately reward our executives for pivoting the 
business and setting the Company up for long term 
growth, the collective impacts to remuneration outcomes 
for executives have been significant with no short-term 
incentive payments for F20, and nil vesting of the LTIP for 
the third year in a row. The Board recognises and greatly 
appreciates management’s ongoing efforts and success 
in executing mitigation strategies.

1.  Earnings before interest, tax, SGARA and material items.
2.  Net debt excludes fair value adjustments related to derivatives that are in a fair value hedge relationship on a portion of US Private Placement 

Notes: F22 ($11.3) million, F21 +$21.6 million.

3.  Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, SGARA and material items.

54 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022  

As always, the Board will continue to evaluate 
remuneration strategies to ensure that the Company 
both retains and appropriately incentivises executives 
in the face of these significant obstacles. 

The Committee is responsible for oversight of other 
human resources matters across the Company, including 
diversity, equity and inclusion, talent development and 
succession, culture and engagement. It remains our 
intention to encourage open dialogue with shareholders 
and other stakeholders, and accordingly we welcome 
any feedback and comments you may have.

1. KEY MESSAGES 

This report details the F22 remuneration framework 
and outcomes for the key management personnel (KMP) 
of the Company which includes non-executive directors. 
In this report, ‘executives’ refers to executives identified as 
KMP excluding the non-executive directors. It is prepared 
in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations 
Act 2001 (Cth) and all references are to Australian dollars 
($) unless otherwise specified.

a) Financial results for F22
Following a challenging year in F21, F22 saw TWE return 
to earnings growth under our new brand-led divisional 
portfolio model. Our continued focus on portfolio 
premiumisation is delivering an impact with the 
contribution of NSR from the premium and luxury portfolios 
increasing to 83%. Management has executed strongly 
and shown organisational resilience despite several years 
of significant disruption and we delivered EBITS of 
$523.7 million, a 3% increase on prior year. EBITS margin 
improved 1.3 percentage points to 21.1% and TWE delivered 
EPS of 44.7 cents per share (before material items and 
SGARA) whilst ROCE declined slightly from F21 
to 10.7% (10.9% when impacts from divested and acquired 
portfolio brands in Treasury Americas are excluded).

b) KMP
Executive KMP at TWE during F22 are as follows:

Executives (as at 30 June 2022)

Current KMP

TM Ford

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Full year

MJ Young

Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Full year

SR Boxer

Chief Strategy and Corporate 
Development Officer (CSCDO)

Full year

c) Fixed remuneration
TWE is a truly global company with significant growth, 
increasing the responsibility and complexity of executive 
roles. The executive team has been crucial to the 
successful navigation of COVID-19, wildfires and the tariffs 
imposed on Australian wine by MOFCOM. The reward, 
retention, and development of this team is a key 
consideration of the Board.

As reported in the Company’s F21 Remuneration Report, 
Mr Ford’s remuneration was increased by 5% to $1,575,000, 
Mr Young’s remuneration was increased by 5% to $749,700, 
and Mr Boxer’s remuneration increased by 2.5% to $691,875, 
all effective from 1 September 2021. For F23, the Board has 
approved a 3% increase to Mr Ford’s remuneration to 
$1,622,250, a 3% increase to Mr Young’s remuneration to 
$772,200 and a 3% increase to Mr Boxer’s remuneration 
to $712,700, effective 1 September 2022. 

Yours sincerely,

Warwick Every-Burns 
Human Resources Committee Chairman

d) Short-term incentives in the year
As we advised in our F21 Remuneration Report F21 , short-
term incentive plan (STIP) targets were set in the context 
of our roadmap out of COVID-19, easing of government 
mandated restrictions and travel and economic recovery 
in our key markets. The MOFCOM announcement in August 
2020 was another material uncontrollable event and also 
had a significant impact on our performance. F21 STIP 
targets were therefore reviewed and adjusted after the 
first half of F21 to achieve a balance between appropriately 
motivating and rewarding our executives for results 
delivered in extenuating circumstances and setting up 
TWE for long-term growth and returns for our shareholders. 
Management exceeded the revised targets, however the 
Board determined that the F21 STIP Balanced Scorecard 
multiplier for executives be paid at 1.0x (on target). 

Targets set for F22 STIP once again included aggressive, 
stretch goals such as driving growth in other markets 
to mitigate the impact of severely reduced shipments 
to Mainland China, and to focus on delivering growth in 
earnings. These opportunities also assisted in offsetting 
ongoing adverse COVID-19 impacts. The F22 Balanced 
Scorecard multiplier for executives will be paid at 1.01x.

Despite significant supply chain and cost headwinds, 
the Company has achieved strong performance 
against the F22 STIP targets. The continued focus on 
our premiumisation strategy, has enabled EBITS growth 
and increased contribution of the premium and luxury 
portfolios to our NSR. We will continue to pursue 
opportunities to enhance the fundamentals of our 
business with a mindset of prioritising long-term 
success over short-term outcomes. 

As a result, and taking into account each executive’s 
individual performance multiplier (IPM) based on their 
achievement of individual KPOs and demonstration 
of the Company’s DNA, the Board has determined that 
the F22 STIP outcomes are 73.9% of fixed remuneration 
for Mr Young and 87.3% of fixed remuneration for Mr Boxer. 
The CEO received an F22 STIP outcome of 109.4% of 
fixed remuneration. 

e) Long-term incentives in the year
Whilst the Company has focused on sustainable earnings, 
cost management and operational effectiveness during 
the pandemic and following the introduction of the 
MOFCOM tariffs, the subsequent financial impacts 
continue to have a direct impact on LTIP. The Company’s 
TSR performance was at the 25th percentile relative to its 
peer group while ROCE results, impacted significantly by 
these events, were also below threshold as a direct result. 
Targets were not met which resulted in nil vesting for 
eligible executives. This is the third year in a row that LTIP 
has lapsed for executives due to unprecedented events 
outside of their control. 

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022 – 55

f) Changes for F23

F23 STIP
Following consultation with investors and to align Mr Ford’s target STIP opportunity to the market, the Board has approved 
an increase to his target STIP opportunity from F23 onwards, from 83.3% to 100% of fixed remuneration.

F23 LTIP
The current performance measures of the LTIP have remained largely unchanged for seven years. Whilst adjustments to 
weighting and performance curves have been made, the current measures of relative TSR and ROCE have been in place 
since the F16 LTIP grant in 2015.

For the F23 LTIP, an additional measure of EPS, before material items and SGARA, will be introduced. An EPS measure is 
aligned to our growth strategy whilst ensuring remuneration outcomes are aligned to shareholder returns. Both the TSR 
and ROCE measures were retained and EPS was added as a third metric rather than removing one of the existing 
measures, which has been supported following consultation with investors.

The weighting of the three metrics for the F23 LTIP will be relative TSR weighted at 20%, ROCE weighted at 40%, and EPS 
weighted at 40% of the plan. 

The following targets have been set for the F23 LTIP. The Board considers that the Company’s F23 targets are realistic 
but challenging and an appropriate level of performance is required to justify full vesting of the portion of the LTIP award.

ROCE growth will be measured against the F22 ROCE base of 10.7% and will vest according to the following schedule.

The peer group for relative TSR comprises companies within the S&P/ASX 200 Index, excluding companies from the energy, 
metal and mining, real estate, and finance sectors. 

The Board has the discretion to adjust hurdles or vesting outcomes to ensure that executives are neither penalised, 
nor provided with a windfall benefit arising from material, non-recurring items.

Offers of Performance Rights under the F23 LTIP are subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions, as outlined 
above, over the performance period from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025. LTIP awards to KMP are at the absolute discretion 
of the Board. For the F23 LTIP the following awards will apply:

•  Mr Ford: opportunity of 175% of fixed remuneration at maximum, 66.5% at threshold, 0% below threshold
•  Mr Young: opportunity of 150% of fixed remuneration at maximum, 57% at threshold, 0% below threshold
•  Mr Boxer: opportunity of 150% of fixed remuneration at maximum, 57% at threshold, 0% below threshold.

The Company will seek shareholder approval at the 2022 AGM for the F23 LTIP offer to the CEO. 

F23 Non-executive director fees
Following over three years of no increases to non-executive director fees, the Board has approved a 3% increase 
to Board Chair and Member base fees and a moderate increase to Committee fees ranging between 2.3% to 4.5%, 
effective 1 July 2022. The previous increase to non-executive director fees was in April 2019.

F22 REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)2.  REMUNERATION STRATEGY AND FRAMEWORK

a) Remuneration strategy
TWE’s remuneration strategy sets the direction for the remuneration framework, and drives the design and application 
of remuneration programs across the Company, including for executives. The strategy aims to attract, retain, and reward 
the best talent while building a performance-oriented culture. It sets out principles and processes to ensure remuneration 
practices attract and motivate the highest calibre employees to achieve TWE’s business and financial objectives.

The remuneration strategy is designed to drive strong alignment between financial results for the business, wealth 
outcomes for shareholders, and remuneration outcomes for employees. The Board believes that remuneration 
of executives should include a fixed component and at-risk or performance-related components, including both 
short-term and long-term incentives. Executive and stakeholder interests are aligned through share ownership.

The weighting of the at-risk remuneration components for each executive reflects the Board’s commitment to 
performance-based reward. The diagram below illustrates the mix of remuneration components for executives, 
firstly as a percentage of total remuneration (TR) at target, and then as a proportion of total maximum potential 
remuneration. Section 3 of this report describes performance outcomes over the past five years, and how they 
have impacted remuneration outcomes.

b) Total remuneration 

Executive TR comprises fixed remuneration (FR) and variable (‘at-risk’) remuneration in the form of STIP and LTIP. 
The remuneration structure in F22 for current executives as at 30 June 2022 is as follows. 

Total remuneration with STIP at target and LTIP at threshold:

CEO

Executives

Percentage of TR

FR 40%
STIP (at target) 33%
LTIP (at threshold) 27%

Percentage of TR

FR 44%
STIP (at target) 30%
LTIP (at threshold) 26%

Total remuneration with both STIP and LTIP at maximum:

CEO

Executives

Percentage of TR

FR 24%
STIP (at maximum) 35%
LTIP (at maximum) 41%

Percentage of TR

FR 27%
STIP (at maximum) 32%
LTIP (at maximum) 41%

c) Fixed remuneration
For Australian-based executives, total fixed remuneration is inclusive of superannuation and other benefits.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually and set at a market-competitive level reflective of the executive’s skills, 
experience, and responsibilities, and taking into account complexity of role, location, and performance. The Company 
looks at industry and general market peer groups, with key criteria applied such as market capitalisation and revenue. 
Both Australian and global peers are considered, reflecting the complexity of roles in a global business and the 
Company’s international lens on talent. Peer groups are reviewed regularly for accuracy and alignment with the nature 
of the business. 

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022 – 57

 
d) Short-term incentive plan (STIP) 
The STIP drives an annual at-risk component of remuneration and links business results for the fiscal year, executive 
performance and reward using a balanced scorecard approach. 

The STIP performance measures are designed to support the financial health of the organisation and shareholder return 
in terms of dividends and share price - this year and over time. The metrics are aimed at reinforcing Company culture 
as their achievement requires compliance with the Company’s DNA: We Bring our Whole Self, We are Courageous and 
We Deliver Together. Hurdles and stretch targets are set for each metric and the sustainability of growth and returns is 
non-negotiable.

(10%)

The EBITS metric focuses and rewards executives for the overall health and profit-producing ability 
of the Company. It is designed to ensure TWE products are available in the right quantities and retail 
locations, and to reward executives for levels of earnings that will benefit shareholders and provide 
capital that can be further invested by the Company for future growth. 

This growth metric aims to reward executives for delivering sales volumes in our priority brands to drive 
a steep trajectory in top line growth globally. Delivery of this metric drives executives to explore wider 
opportunities for the Company to grow beyond existing products, markets, consumers, and customers.

Executives delivering margin accretion are rewarded for delivering growth from quality brand 
contribution through premiumisation of the Company’s portfolio, optimising investment and making 
risk-managed, smart decisions. 

This metric rewards executives for the delivery of quality growth and strong planning operations 
as measured by improvements in the balance sheet, operating cash flow, and forecast accuracy, 
all critical to delivering ROCE metric and financial returns for investors.

ROCE 
(10%)

This metric aims to incentivise executives to grow profits by increasing revenue or efficiency 
and optimise the Group’s asset base.

F22 REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)The table below provides further detail including the weighting of metrics and size of opportunity.

F22 STIP performance measures 

STIP opportunity 

STIP detail

The STIP Balanced Scorecard is 
consistent across all executives and 
measures are weighted as follows: 

The annual STIP opportunity is at the 
absolute discretion of the Board. In F22, 
the following STIP opportunities applied:

50% global EBITS

Target

15% quality growth in sales volume

Executives 66.5% of FR

15% brand contribution margin 

CEO 83.3% of FR

10% cash conversion

10% ROCE

Each measure is assessed after 
the financial year-end against the 
full-year audited financial report 
on a constant currency basis to 
determine the overall level of 
performance achieved. 

The Balanced Scorecard can drive a 
multiplier outcome between 0 and 1.2 
as per the diagram overleaf.

Maximum

Executives 120% of FR

CEO 150% of FR

The PM is derived from the level 
of each Executive’s achievement of 
individual KPOs and demonstration 
of the Company’s DNA. 

Individual KPOs for Executives 
and the CEO comprise the 
following objectives:

50% strategic/operational

25% leadership, inclusion, equity, 
and diversity

25% wellbeing and sustainability.

The IPM can drive a result of 0 to 1.5 
as per the diagram overleaf. 

An annual award of cash and/or equity 
may be received based on:

•  Group, team and individual financial, 

strategic and operational 
performance, measured by way 
of the Balanced Scorecard

•  agreed individual KPOs (including the 
TWE DNA) measured by way of the IPM.

One-third of the STIP award for executives 
is deferred into Restricted Equity (RE) 
in the Company. Of this RE, one-half 
(i.e. one-sixth of the overall STIP award) 
will vest after one year, and one-half 
(i.e. one-sixth of the overall STIP award) 
will vest after two years.

The remaining two-thirds of the STIP 
award is delivered in cash at the end 
of F22.

e) Long-term incentive plan (LTIP)
The LTIP is designed to reward executives for long-term performance and value creation for shareholders. Offers are 
approved by the Board and made to select executives and senior leaders as nominated by the CEO. For F22, the Board 
awarded the CEO an LTIP opportunity of 175% of fixed remuneration. 

The performance period for the F22 LTIP is 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024 and the plan has the following features.

ROCE growth(75% weighting)

Calculated as EBITS divided by average capital 
employed (at constant currency). Capital employed 
is the sum of average net assets (excluding SGARA) 
and average net debt.

LTIP awards are at the absolute 
discretion of the Board. In F22, 
the following awards applied:

•  CEO 175% of FR

•  other executives 150% of FR.

LTIP awards are delivered in the 
form of Performance Rights. The 
number of rights allocated is based 
on face value using the 90-day 
Volume Weighted Average Price 
(VWAP) preceding 1 July at the start 
of the performance period. If the 
performance conditions are met 
at the end of the three-year 
performance period, rights vest 
and executives receive a share for 
each vested performance right. 

No amount is payable on the 
vesting of the Performance Rights 
or on their conversion into shares. 
Any rights that do not vest, lapse.

The features of the F22 LTIP outlined above remained the same as the F20 and F21 LTIP.

f) General employee share plan (Share Cellar) 
The Company has a broad-based employee share plan, Share Cellar, which operates by way of after-tax employee 
payroll contributions (minimum $500 to maximum $5,000) to acquire shares in the Company. The Company delivers one 
matched share for every purchased share held at the plan vesting date (approximately two years), subject to continued 
employment. An equivalent cash plan operates in countries where, due to local laws, it is not practicable to offer shares 
to employees. 

Shares were acquired in F22 under the 2021 Share Cellar offer and a subsequent offer to participate in the 2022 Share 
Cellar Plan was made during the year. The first share purchases in the 2022 Share Cellar Plan will occur in August 2022 (F23).

g) Mid-term incentive plan (MTIP) and Restricted Equity plan (REP)
In addition to the LTIP, the Company operates the MTIP and REP which allows the Board to make offers of Deferred Share 
Rights or Restricted Shares for the purpose of attracting, retaining and motivating key employees within the Company. 
Participation in the MTIP is open to senior managers (excluding executives eligible for LTIP) and is subject to performance 
conditions. There were no awards granted to, or vested for, executives under the MTIP or REP in F22.

F22 REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)h) Other key information

Board discretion and clawback
The Board will exercise discretion to ensure any cash or equity outcomes are appropriately aligned to the Company’s 
underlying performance and the interests of shareholders. The Board maintains the discretion to clawback any vested 
or unvested equity should a clawback event arise, which was not apparent at the time the equity was awarded. This may 
include (but not limited to) material mis-statement of financial results, material reputational damage to the Company, 
or where there was serious misconduct by a participant. This includes discretion to reduce, forfeit or reinstate awards, 
require payback of proceeds from the sale of vested awards and/or reset or alter the performance conditions applying 
to any award.

Leavers
The Board has absolute discretion as to whether participants retain their unvested equity upon ceasing employment, 
taking into account the circumstances of their departure. In general, if an executive ceases employment with the 
Company they forfeit their entitlement to cash or equity under the Company’s incentive plans. 

In exceptional circumstances (such as redundancy, death, or disability), the Board, in its discretion, may determine that 
a portion of the award is retained having regard to performance and time lapsed to date of cessation (or that an 
equivalent cash payment be made). Retained awards will generally be subject to post-employment vesting, where the 
participant must continue to hold the relevant Performance Rights until the end of the performance period, and be 
subject to the performance conditions under the plan.

Dividends and voting rights
Plan participants granted Restricted Shares are entitled to dividends and voting rights. Participants holding time-restricted 
rights or Performance Rights are entitled to neither dividends nor voting rights.

Change of control
In the event of a change of control, unless the Board determines otherwise, the transfer restrictions imposed on the 
shares will be lifted, but only in so far as to permit the executive to participate in the change of control event. Any shares 
that do not participate in the change of control event will continue to be subject to restrictions until the end of the 
applicable restriction period.

Hedging
To ensure the variable components of the Company’s remuneration structure remain ‘at-risk’, employees may not hedge 
against the risk inherent in arrangements such as the LTIP, or any other equity-based incentive plans. Awards will be 
forfeited if the policy is breached.

3. PERFORMANCE AND REMUNERATION OUTCOMES

a) Overview of Company performance 
Company performance during F22 saw earnings growth under our new brand-led divisional portfolio model. Our 
continued focus on portfolio premiumisation is delivering an impact with the contribution of NSR from the premium and 
luxury portfolios increasing to 83% from 77% in F21. We delivered EBITS of $523.7 million, a 3% increase on prior year and 
EBITS margin improved 1.3 percentage points to 21.1%. TWE delivered EPS of 44.7 cents per share (before material items and 
SGARA) whilst ROCE declined slightly from F21 to 10.7% (10.9% when impacts from divested and acquired portfolio brands 
in Treasury Americas are excluded). The Company’s capital structure remains flexible and efficient. We have retained 
a strong balance sheet and investment-grade capital structure, with net debt/EBITDAS of 1.8x.

Due to the outstanding performance from our executives and our global teams, our global response plan to mitigate 
impacts from the measures implemented by MOFCOM is progressing well. Execution of key strategic priorities delivered 
strong operating momentum across each brand portfolio division in F22. Whilst Penfolds reported an 8% decline in EBITS 
due to reduced shipments to Mainland China, this was partly offset by continued positive momentum across the 
portfolio and performance in other Asian markets, which continues to build momentum. NSR and EBITS for Penfolds 
outside of Mainland China increased by 45% and 25% respectively on a constant currency basis and EBITS margin 
increased by 0.6 percentage points. Treasury Americas reported a 20.5% increase in EBITS and EBITS margin increased 
by 2.9 percentage points, led by standout growth from Beringer, Stags’ Leap, Matua and 19 Crimes. The contribution of 
Frank Family Vineyards (FFV) was in line with expectations, with integration materially complete across people, systems, 
processes, and external partnerships. Treasury Premium Brands reported a 27% increase in EBITS and improved EBITS 
margin (up 2.5 percentage points). Portfolio premiumisation continued with strong performance by priority brands 
including 19 Crimes, Pepperjack, Squealing Pig, and Wynns. Significant distribution gains for focus brands in key EMEA 
and Asia markets was an execution highlight.

Whilst executives have delivered impressive performance in the face of the cumulative impact the unanticipated and 
unprecedented events have had on the Company, once again, remuneration outcomes have been impacted.

F22 REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)b) Fixed remuneration outcomes
Market benchmarking and salary reviews are conducted annually with any changes effective from 1 September. 
When comparing executives’ remuneration to the market, the ASX 21-75 peer group was used. During F22:

•  the CEO, Mr Ford, received a 5% increase from $1,500,000 to $1,575,000 per annum, effective 1 September 2021

•  the CFO, Mr Young, received a 5% increase from $714,000 to $749,700 per annum, effective 1 September 2021

•  the CSCDO, Mr Boxer, received a 2.5% increase from $675,000 to $691,875 per annum, effective 1 September 2021.

c) Short-term incentive outcomes 
Short-term incentives are assessed by achievement against each executive’s Balanced Scorecard and specific 
personal objectives. 

The F22 STIP scorecard is heavily weighted to financial metrics with the primary driver EBITS. Following a challenging year 
in F21, the Company has achieved strong performance against the F22 STIP targets and F22 EBITS increased by 3% from F21 
to $523.7 million. Targets set for F22 STIP once again included aggressive, stretch goals such as driving growth in other 
markets to mitigate the impact of severely reduced shipments to Mainland China and to focus on delivering growth in 
earnings. These opportunities also assisted in offsetting ongoing adverse COVID-19 impacts. This level of performance 
is reflected in the STIP results and the level of payout for executives.

The continued focus on our premiumisation strategy, including the acquisition of Frank Family Vineyards and the 
divestment of our US commercial portfolio, has resulted in EBITS and EBITS margin growth and increased contribution 
of the premium and luxury portfolios to our NSR. We will continue to pursue opportunities to enhance the fundamentals 
of our business with a mindset of prioritising long-term success over short-term outcomes. 

Actual results for the Balanced Scorecards are provided below.

d) Long-term incentive awards and outcomes

LTIP awarded during the year
Performance Rights were allocated to executives under the F22 LTIP after the 2021 Annual General Meeting and are subject 
to a three-year performance period. Any vesting is subject to two hurdles (detailed on page 60). The Performance Rights 
have no exercise price and the minimum total value of the grant is zero. The maximum value is the number of awards 
granted multiplied by the share price at vesting.

Performance targets for the F20 LTIP were set prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and MOFCOM tariffs. Performance is 
measured over the three-year period ended 30 June 2022. The Company’s relative TSR performance was at the 25th 
percentile relative to its peer group while ROCE results, impacted significantly by these events, were also below threshold 
resulting in nil vesting for eligible executives. This is the third year in a row that LTIP has lapsed for executives due to 
unprecedented events outside of their control.

The F20 LTIP vesting outcome by executive is provided below. Mr Boxer did not participate in the F20 LTIP as it was granted 
prior to his commencement with the Company.

‘Value at grant’ is calculated based on $15.4966 which was the volume weighted average price of Company shares sold on the ASX over the 
90 day period up to and including 30 June 2019. This was the price used to calculate the number of Performance Rights granted under 
the F20 LTIP as previously disclosed by the Company.

2.  The value ‘lapsed’ or ‘vested’ is calculated based on the closing share price on the performance period end date of 30 June 2022, being $11.35.
3.  The number of rights which lapsed as they did not vest. 

64 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022  

F22 REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTINUED)e) General employee share plan (Share Cellar)
During F22, the 2022 Share Cellar Plan was launched. No executives participated in this plan. The Company has 
approximately one quarter of all eligible employees participating in the Share Cellar Plan and investing their post-tax 
pay to become shareholders. 

f) Summary of awards held by executives
The table on the following page sets out the number and movement of awards held by executives. Restricted Shares 
are generally issued under STIP Deferral (Restricted Equity). Performance Rights are issued under the LTIP. Deferred Share 
Rights are issued under the REP or represent the right to matching shares under the 2019 Share Cellar Plan.

a) Fee pool
The current maximum aggregate fee pool of $2,500,000 per annum (inclusive of superannuation) was approved by 
shareholders at the 2016 AGM.

b) Non-executive director fees
The level of non-executive directors’ fees takes into account the risks and responsibilities of the role, the global reach 
and complexity of the business, director skills and experience, and market benchmark data (provided by independent 
external consultants). At our 2021 AGM, we announced the establishment of a new Wine Operations and Sustainability 
Committee which is chaired by our Director Mr Hounsell.

There were no increases to Chairman or non-executive director fees during F22. From F23, the Board has approved a 
3% increase to Board Chair and Member base fees and a moderate increase to Committee fees as detailed in Table 4.1. 
The previous increase to non-executive director fees was in April 2019.

OTHER REMUNERATION INFORMATION

5. GOVERNANCE

a) Role of the Human Resources Committee (HRC)
The HRC provides assistance to the Board in relation to such matters as monitoring remuneration principles and 
frameworks, providing advice on remuneration matters, making remuneration recommendations for executives, 
approving incentive plans and reviewing and governing remuneration policies. In addition to its remuneration 
responsibilities, and together with the Board, the HRC’s duties include overseeing talent management, diversity, 
and leadership development.

The HRC ensures that the Company’s policies and frameworks aid the achievement of the Company’s strategic 
objectives, provide appropriate governance, are aligned with market practice, and fulfil the Board’s responsibility to 
shareholders. During the year the Audit and Risk Committee Chair attended all HRC meetings as a committee member. 
Also, the HRC Chair typically attends the Audit and Risk Committee meetings, providing a link between both committees 
to assist with oversight of non-financial risk.

As outlined in Section 4 of the Corporate Governance Statement disclosed on the Company’s website tweglobal.com, 
the Company has procedures in place for the reporting of any matter that may give rise to a conflict between the interests 
of a director and those of the Company. In addition, the Company has adopted a general policy for employees in relation 
to the disclosure and management of potential conflicts of interest (see Section 4 of the Corporate Governance Statement 
on tweglobal.com).

b) Engagement of remuneration advisors
In F22, the Board and HRC engaged PwC as an independent advisor to the HRC. Potential conflicts of interest are 
considered by the HRC, and the Board and HRC are satisfied that the advice provided by PwC was free from undue 
influence. Any advice provided by remuneration consultants is used as a guide only and is not a substitute for detailed 
consideration of all relevant issues by the HRC. No remuneration recommendations, as defined by the Corporations Act 
2001 (Cth), were provided. 

c) Executive and non-executive director share ownership
Executives and non-executive directors are encouraged to have control over ordinary shares in the Company and 
executives and non-executive directors are required to hold at least the equivalent of one year’s fixed remuneration 
or base fees. The guidelines are expected to be met over a reasonable period of time (approximately five years). 
The Company’s variable incentive programs contribute towards executives meeting this guideline. The Director Share 
Acquisition Plan (DSAP) allows directors to apply after-tax fees to the acquisition of the Company’s shares on a periodic 
basis at the prevailing market rate, however there was no opportunity to participate in this plan during F22 due to 
trading restrictions. The table below sets out KMP shareholdings.

6. FURTHER INFORMATION

a) Executive contracts
There is no fixed term for executive contracts. The Company may terminate service agreements immediately for cause, 
in which case the executive is not entitled to any payment other than the value of fixed remuneration and accrued leave 
entitlements up to the termination date. On resignation, all executives are required to give six months’ notice. If the 
termination is Company initiated without cause, all executives have termination provisions of six months’ notice by the 
Company plus six months’ severance pay.

b) Other transactions with KMP and their personally-related entities
The Company entered into transactions which are insignificant in amount with KMP and their related parties within 
normal employee, customer, or supplier relationships on terms and conditions no more favourable than those available 
in similar arm’s length dealings, which include payments of salaries and benefits and purchase of Company products.

Some directors of the Company are also directors of public companies which have transactions with the Company. 
The relevant directors do not believe they have the individual capacity to control or significantly influence the financial 
policies of those companies. The companies are therefore not considered to be related parties for the purpose of the 
disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

c) Prior years’ equity arrangements
This section summarises all outstanding equity arrangements for executives, as reported in previous 
remuneration reports.

The below equity plans have no exercise price and the minimum total value of the grant is zero. The maximum value 
is the number of awards granted multiplied by the share price at vesting.

Earnings per share (EPS)

EBITDAS

EBITS

NPAT excluding SGARA and material items, divided by the weighted average number of shares. 
Adjusted EPS is used to calculate performance outcomes, meaning that the Board retains the 
discretion to adjust EPS to ensure that participants are not penalised or provided with a windfall 
gain arising from material, non-recurring items.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, material items and SGARA.

Restricted Equity (RE)

Those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major 
activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether 
executive or otherwise) as listed in the introduction to the Remuneration Report.

Units which provide the participant with a right to receive a cash payment at the vesting date, 
whereby the payment is tied to the market value of an equivalent number of TWE shares.

The amount of the payout will increase as the share price rises, and decrease if the share price falls, 
but without the participant actually receiving any TWE shares.

The return on investment of a company relative to a peer group of companies.

Rights or shares granted by TWE that vest upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, such as 
continued employment for a period of time or the achievement of particular performance 
milestones. The plan participant cannot deal in the equity until it vests and the restriction is lifted. 

Return on capital 
employed (ROCE)

EBITS divided by capital employed (at constant currency). Capital employed is the sum of average 
net assets (adjusted for SGARA impact) and average net debt.

Self-generating and 
regenerating assets 
(SGARA)

SGARA represents the difference between the fair value of harvest (as determined under AASB 141 
Agriculture) and the cost of harvest. The fair value gain or loss is excluded from management EBITS so 
that earnings can be assessed based on the cost of harvest, rather than their fair value. This approach 
results in a better reflection of the true nature of TWE’s consumer-branded and FMCG business and 
improved comparability with domestic and global peers.

Total shareholder  
return (TSR)

Total return on investment of a security, taking into account both capital appreciation and distributed 
income that was reinvested.

comprehensive income, except for gains or losses arising 
on assets or liabilities that qualify for hedge accounting, 
discussed further in note 24.

Tax charges and credits attributable to these exchange 
differences are also recognised in equity.

Average exchange rates used in translating profit and  
loss items in F22 are:

A$1 = US$ 0.726 (F21: US$ 0.747) 
A$1 = GB£ 0.545 (F21: GB£ 0.555)

Year-end exchange rates used in translating financial 
position items in F21 are:

A$1 = US$ 0.688 (F21: US$ 0.751) 
A$1 = GB£ 0.568 (F21: GB£ 0.543)

Fair value measurement
The Group measures certain financial instruments, 
including derivatives, and certain non-financial assets 
such as agricultural assets, at fair value at each balance 
sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an 
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between market participants in its principal or most 
advantageous market at the measurement date. It is 
measured using the assumptions that market participants 
would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming 
that market participants act in their economic best 
interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial  
item assumes it is put to its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate 
in the circumstances and for which sufficient data  
is available to measure fair value, maximising the use  
of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use  
of unobservable inputs.

Accounting standards prescribe a fair value hierarchy, 
described as follows, based on the lowest level input that 
is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active 
markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest  
level input that is significant to the fair value  
measurement is directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly  
(i.e. derived by prices) observable.

Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement 
is unobservable.

NOTE 1 – ABOUT THIS REPORT (CONTINUED)

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the  
assets and liabilities of Treasury Wine Estates Limited  
and its controlled entities as a whole at year-end and  
the consolidated results and cash flows for the year.  
A list of controlled entities (subsidiaries) is provided  
in note 27.

An entity is regarded as a controlled entity when the 
Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns 
from its involvement with the entity and has the ability  
to affect those returns through power over the entity.

The rights of other investors to the results and equity  
of the subsidiaries (called non-controlling interests)  
are shown separately in the consolidated statement  
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and 
consolidated statement of financial position respectively.

The financial information of the subsidiaries is prepared for 
the same reporting period as the parent, using consistent 
accounting policies. Intra-group balances and transactions 
arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without 
a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars. Each entity in the Group determines  
its own functional currency and items included in the 
financial statements of each entity are measured using 
that functional currency. The major functional currencies 
used throughout the Group include Australian Dollar (AUD), 
United States Dollar (USD) and Great British Pound (GBP). 
Other currencies used include the Canadian Dollar,  
Euro, New Zealand Dollar, Singapore Dollar, Swedish  
Krona, Norwegian Krone, Chinese Renminbi and South 
African Rand.

Foreign group companies
As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of 
overseas subsidiaries are translated into Australian dollars 
at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date 
and the income statement is translated at the average 
exchange rates for the period. The exchange differences 
arising on the translation are recognised in the foreign 
currency translation reserve within equity.

When a foreign operation is sold, the cumulative exchange 
difference in equity for this operation is recognised in  
the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income as part of the gain and loss  
on sale.

Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded 
in the functional currency of the relevant entity at the 
exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. 
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign 
currencies are subsequently translated at the rate 
of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

Segment Accounting policies

Segment assets and liabilities
Segment assets and liabilities represent those working 
capital and non-current assets and liabilities which  
are located in the respective segments. Cash and 
borrowings, other than lease liabilities, are not 
considered to be segment assets/liabilities as they  
are managed by our centralised treasury function. 
Consistent with the use of EBITS for measuring profit,  
tax assets and liabilities, which do not contribute 
towards EBITS, are not allocated to operating segments.

Corporate charges
Unallocated corporate charges are reported in the 
Corporate/unallocated segment. Net finance costs  
are not allocated to segments as the Group’s financing 
function is centralised through its treasury function.

Segment loans payable and loans receivable
Segment loans are initially recognised at the amount 
transferred. Intersegment loans receivable and 
payable that earn or incur non-market interest are 
adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates.

Other
If items of revenue and expense are not allocated  
to operating segments, then any associated assets 
and liabilities are not allocated to segments either.

NOTE 2 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group’s segments
The Group reports segment information on the same 
basis as its internal management reporting structure  
and consistent with the information used to organise  
and manage the Group. 

During the current period, the business structure  
was reorganised to reflect the Group’s new divisional 
operating model. To facilitate comparability over  
reporting periods, comparatives have been restated  
to incorporate these changes.

Presentation of segment results
Management EBITS
The principal profit metric for internal management 
reporting is Management earnings before interest, tax, 
SGARA and material items (EBITS). Corporate charges  
are allocated to each segment on a proportionate  
basis linked to segment revenue, head count or other 
appropriate driver depending on the nature of the charge.

SGARA represents the difference between the fair value 
of harvested grapes (as determined under AASB 141 
Agriculture) and the cost of harvested grapes. The fair 
value gain or loss is excluded from Management EBITS 
so that earnings can be assessed based on the cost of 
harvest, rather than their fair value. This approach results 
in a better reflection of the true nature of TWE’s consumer 
branded and FMCG business and improved comparability 
with domestic and global peers. The F22 SGARA loss  
of $33.9 million includes the impact of a significant 
reduction in tonnage and yield from the 2021 Californian 
vintage and in some specific parcels of the 2022 
Australian vintage, resulting in losses of $32 million.

The Group has the following reportable segments:

(i)  Penfolds

This segment is responsible for the manufacturing, 
sale and marketing of Penfolds wine globally.

(ii)  Treasury Premium Brands

This segment is responsible for the manufacturing, 
sale and marketing of wine within Australia, Asia, 
Europe, Middle-East and Africa.

(iii)  Treasury Americas

This segment is responsible for the manufacture,  
sale and marketing of wine within North American  
and Latin Americas regions.

1.  Net sales revenue is net of trade discounts and volume rebates.

Net sales revenue – types of products
The Group generates revenue through the sale of branded wines, principally as a finished, bottled product. The Group’s 
wine portfolio includes some of the world’s leading luxury, premium and commercial wine brands such as Penfolds, 
Beringer, Lindeman’s, Wolf Blass, 19 Crimes, Beaulieu Vineyard, Sterling Vineyards and Stags’ Leap.

The Group distributes wine to a range of customers across the world, with routes to market tailored by country.  
Depending on the geography, wine is sold to distributors, wholesalers, direct to national retail chains, independent 
retailers and on-premise outlets. The Group also has some sales direct to the consumer.

Other revenue
Other revenue of the Group includes contract bottling services to third parties, sub-lease income and grape and bulk 
wine sales.

In F22 other revenue includes $15.4 million (F21: $14.8 million) of insurance income in relation to damage caused by 
wildfires in the Americas.

Sales approach
For F22, the Group had one major customer in Treasury Americas whose revenues represented 11.4% (F21: 8.7%) of reported 
net sales revenue, and one major customer in Treasury Premium Brands and Penfolds whose revenue represented 7.6% 
(F21: 8.1%) of reported net sales revenue.

Financing components
The Group does not have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised product or services  
to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. Consequently, the Group does not adjust any of the 
transaction prices for the time value of money.

Accounting policies
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts 
collected on behalf of third parties. The Group’s contracts with customers generally include one performance obligation. 
Revenue from the sale of products or services is recognised at the point in time when control over a product or service 
is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery. Revenue is recorded net of sales discounts and rebates, duties 
and taxes. Payment terms vary by customer. The following specific criteria are also applied:

Wine
Revenue is recognised in a manner that depicts transfer of control of goods to customers at the amount that reflects 
the consideration the business expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Sales to national retail chains, 
domestic distributors, independent retailers and on-premise outlets are usually recognised when goods are delivered. 
Sales to international customers are recognised based on the international commercial terms the goods are shipped 
under, but typically when goods are despatched. This is also the case for some national retail chains that manage 
their own distribution networks.

Bottling services
Revenue is recognised when the relevant service has been completed.

Key estimate and judgement:

Trade discounts and volume rebates
Products are often sold with volume discounts and other rebates. Sales are recorded based on the consideration 
specified in the sales contracts or terms, net of the estimated discount or rebate at the time of sale. These discounts or 
rebates are considered variable consideration and are accounted for in determining the transaction price of a contract. 
The method used by the Group to estimate discounts and rebates is the most likely amount. Accumulated experience is 
used to estimate and provide for the discounts and rebates based on anticipated purchases and depletions.

NOTE 7 – EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)

Calculation of earnings per share
Earnings per share (EPS) is the amount of post-tax profit attributable to each share.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit after income tax attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted EPS is determined by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders after tax by the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential ordinary shares 
in the employee Long-Term Incentive Plan and Restricted Equity Plan (see note 22).

Inventories of wine stocks are classified between current and non-current based on sales projections for the ensuing 
year. Inventories recognised as an expense during the year and included in cost of sales amounted to $1,402.9 million 
(F21: $1,397.5 million).

In F22, the write-down of inventories to net realisable value amounted to $22.8 million (F21: $63.7 million). Reversals of 
write-downs amounted to nil (F21: $1.0 million). These amounts are included in cost of sales.

Accounting policies

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, cash in transit, short-term 
deposits and investments with maturities of three months or less.

Cash assets and cash liabilities are offset and presented as a net amount in the consolidated statement of financial 
position when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset or intent to settle on a net basis.

For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are disclosed net  
of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at invoice value (fair value) and subsequently measured at amortised cost, 
less an allowance for expected credit losses.

Credit terms are generally between 30 – 120 days depending on the nature of the transaction. For trade receivables, 
the Group applies the simplified approach for expected credit losses, which requires expected lifetime losses to be 
recognised from initial recognition of receivables. Expected credit losses are calculated by utilising a provision matrix 
where loss rates are calculated based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have  
similar loss patterns (for example geography, product type and rating). The provision matrix is initially determined  
by the Group’s historical observed loss rates and calibrated for forward looking information. Loss rates will be updated  
at each reporting date based on changes in observed default rates and changes in forward looking information.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of their cost (using weighted average or FIFO basis) or estimated net realisable 
value.

The cost of raw materials is their purchase price or, in the case of grapes sourced from Group owned vineyards,  
fair value (see note 12 for further details). The cost of manufactured goods is determined on a consistent basis and  
is made up of the raw materials and direct labour used in manufacture. It also includes other direct costs and related 
production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs  
of completion and estimated costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables including accruals are recorded when the Group is required to make future payments  
as a result of purchases of goods or services. Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost.

Key estimates and judgements:

Trade discounts and volume rebates
Key estimates relate to the amount accrued for discounts and rebates. Products are often sold with trade discounts  
and volume rebates. Sales are recorded based on the price specified in the sales contracts or terms, net of the estimated 
discount or rebate at the time of sale. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts and 
rebates based on anticipated purchases and depletions.

Net realisable value of inventory
The period over which some wine inventories are converted from raw materials to finished goods can be a significant 
length of time. Failure to forecast demand effectively may result in excess inventories or missed revenue opportunities.

Forecast demand and market prices can vary significantly over the holding period up to the likely date of sale.  
Estimating the most likely conditions at the expected point of sale is therefore more challenging over the longer term. 
Non-current inventory is $1,063.6 million (F21: $1,056.8 million) and its estimated selling price is therefore a key estimate.

Included within plant and equipment are ‘Projects in Progress’ of $91.4 million (F21: $163.1 million), which are assets under 
construction and therefore not yet depreciated. The cost of construction includes the cost of materials used in construction, 
direct labour on the project, and an allocation of overheads. The Group recognised nil write-downs (F21: $7.8 million 
write-downs) for property, plant and equipment during the year.

Accounting policies
Property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost and then reduced by accumulated depreciation and any 
impairment losses.

Plant and equipment is depreciated so that the assets are written down to their residual value over their useful lives, 
using a reducing balance or straight-line method depending on the nature of the asset. Assets that relate to leases 
are written-off over the period of the lease or useful life, whichever is the shorter. Residual values, useful lives and 
amortisation methods are reviewed annually and adjusted when required.

Depreciation expense is included in ‘costs of sales’, ‘selling expenses’ and ‘administration expenses’ in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The depreciation rates used for each class of asset are as follows:

Freehold buildings 
Leasehold buildings 
Plant and equipment 

1.5% – 10.0% 
10.0% – 20.0% 
3.3% – 40.0%

Costs incurred in maintaining agricultural assets are recognised as an expense as incurred.

Derecognition and disposal
When an asset is sold, scrapped or is no longer of use to the business it is derecognised. Any gain or loss arising  
on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds and the carrying amount  
of the asset) is recorded in the period the asset is derecognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss  
and other comprehensive income.

•  Includes 3,000 hectares (F21: 3,111 hectares) under direct leasing arrangements and 10 hectares (F21: 10 hectares)  

of olive groves in Tuscany, a region of Italy.

•  Yielded 90,002 tonnes of grapes (F21: 110,701 tonnes).

Harvests generally occur in September – October in the Northern Hemisphere and February – May in the  
Southern Hemisphere.

NOTE 11 – RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

The Group has leases for vineyards, buildings, equipment and motor vehicles. The Group’s lease arrangements have 
durations up to 25 years but may have extension options as described in (d) below.

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and 
short-term leases, including IT equipment and oak barrels. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with 
these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(d) Extension options
Some property and vineyard leases contain extension options exercisable by the Group up to the end of the non-
cancellable contract period. These options are used to provide operational flexibility across the Group. The extension 
options held are exercisable only by the Group and not the lessors. The Group has estimated that the potential future 
lease payments, should it exercise the extension option, would result in an increased lease liability of $869.0 million 
(F21: $798.8 million).

(e) Variable lease payments
Certain contractual arrangements may contain both lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are 
distinct elements of a contract that are not related to securing the use of the leased asset, such as inventory, common 
area maintenance, and other management costs. The Group has elected to measure the amount disclosed in relation 
to variable leases for these arrangements by combining the lease and non-lease components.

Certain leases include variable lease payments, including payments that depend on an index or rate, as well as variable 
payments for items such as grapes, labour, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses 
associated with leased assets. Certain grape purchasing arrangements include variable payments based on actual 
tonnage and price of grapes that will vary depending on certain factors, including weather, time of harvest, overall market 
conditions, and the agricultural practices and location of the vineyard. Such variable lease payments are excluded from 
the calculation of the right-of-use asset and are recognised in the period in which the obligation is incurred.

Accounting policies
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, 
a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for 
consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group  
uses the definition of a lease in AASB 16 Leases.

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use 
asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease 
payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs  
to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located,  
less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date  
to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end  
of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that 
case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on  
the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced  
by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the 
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily 
determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing 
sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.

92 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022

NOTE 11 – RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Accounting policies (continued)
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

•  fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

•  variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the 

commencement date;

•  amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

•  the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments  

in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties  
for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when  
there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the  
Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes  
its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised  
in-substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount  
of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been 
reduced to zero.

The Group presents right-of-use assets as ‘right-of-use assets’ and lease liabilities in ‘borrowings’ in the consolidated 
statement of financial position.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and 
short-term leases, including IT equipment and oak barrels. The Group recognises the lease payments associated  
with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Key estimate and judgement:

Right-of-use assets
The Group has applied judgement in determining the interest rates used in the discount rate and in determining the term 
of a lease, which is based on the likelihood of the Group’s ability to renew the lease and having regard for terms 
equivalent to those that currently exit.

Grape growing and sourcing
The Group has a variety of sources of fruit including owned and leased vineyards, contracted growers and the bulk 
wine market.

This approach provides flexibility through the economic cycle and assists with managing the risks arising from agricultural 
factors beyond the Group’s control such as pests, disease and extreme weather conditions.

The Group’s owned vineyards ensure access to super premium fruit from key viticultural regions including the Barossa 
Valley and Coonawarra in Australia, Marlborough in New Zealand and the Napa Valley in California. These vineyards 
contribute to some of the Group’s most prestigious wines.

Accounting policies
The agricultural assets of the Group (i.e. grapes) are measured at their fair value, less estimated point of sale costs.

The fair value adjustment during the year is recognised within ‘Other expenses’ in the consolidated statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income.

Harvested grapes are transferred to inventory initially at fair value and are then subsequently accounted for in the cost 
of inventory (see note 9).

Fair value determination
The valuations of agricultural assets are Level 2 fair value measurements under the Group’s accounting policy  
(see note 1), with the principal inputs being:

Grapes prior to harvest
Estimated based on the expected yields per hectare, estimated harvest costs and the anticipated market price  
of grapes.

Harvested grapes
Determined by reference to the weighted district average of grape prices for each region for the current vintage.  
Prices vary with the grade quality of grapes produced in each region.

Key estimate and judgement:

Fair value of grapes
Key to estimating the value of grapes is the following:

•  Yield estimates;

•  The estimated harvest costs;

•  Market prices for grapes; or

•  The quality of grapes, including the impacts on harvested grapes of weather, agricultural practices and location  

of the vineyard.

NOTE 13 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Key estimate and judgement:

Useful life of brand names
In assessing whether a brand has a finite or indefinite useful life, the Group makes use of information on the long-term 
strategy for the brand, the level of growth or decline of the markets that the brand operates in, the history of the market 
and the brand’s position within that market.

If a brand is assessed to have a finite life, the Group will use judgement in determining the useful life of the brand 
including the period over which expected cash flows will continue to be derived in making that decision.

Accounting policies

Brand names and licences
Brand names are recognised as assets when purchased individually and (primarily) as part of the allocation of the 
purchase price when the Group acquires other businesses. Internally generated brand names are not capitalised  
and expenditure incurred in developing, maintaining or enhancing brand names is charged to profit or loss in the  
year incurred.

Brand names are initially recognised at cost when purchased individually and at fair value when acquired with  
a business. This fair value is determined by reference to independent valuations.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any 
accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of businesses and represents the difference between the purchase price and share 
of the net assets of the acquired business, recorded at fair value.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not 
amortised but is tested for impairment at least annually (see note 15).

IT development and software
Other than in relation to Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) arrangement, costs incurred in developing information 
technology (IT) products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and multi-year licenses are capitalised 
as intangible IT assets. They include the cost of purchased software and internal labour and contractors used in the 
development of software.

IT assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and are amortised over their expected useful life  
(2 -10 years) on a straight-line basis. Amortisation is included in ‘Other expenses’ in the consolidated statement  
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

SaaS arrangements are service contracts providing the Group with the right to access the cloud provider’s application 
software over the contract period. The following outlines the accounting treatment of implementation costs incurred 
in relation to SaaS arrangements:

Recognise as an operating expense  
over the term of the service contract

•  Fee for use of application software

•  Customisation costs only when ‘not distinct’ 

and undertaken by SaaS vendor

Recognise as an operating expense  
as the service is received

•  Configuration costs

•  Data conversion and testing

•  Testing costs

•  Training costs

Costs incurred for the development of software code that enhances or modifies, or creates additional capability to, 
existing on-premise systems and meets the definition of and recognition criteria for an intangible asset are recognised 
as intangible IT assets.

Assets held for sale comprise property, plant and equipment identified by the Group to be recovered through sale.

Management are committed to a plan to sell a number of surplus assets in America and Australia, including vineyards 
and wine making facilities, related property, plant and equipment and inventory. Accordingly, the vineyards and facilities 
have been presented as disposal groups held for sale.

Impairment losses relating to the disposal group
Impairment losses of nil (F21: $6.6 million) for the write down of the disposal group to the lower of its carrying amount  
and its fair value less costs to sell have been included in “other expenses” in the consolidated statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income. Refer to note 4 for other earnings disclosures.

Accounting policies
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their value will be recovered principally through their sale, 
rather than through ongoing use within the business.

Assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. They are valued at the lower  
of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell with an impairment loss recognised for any difference.  
A gain is recognised for any subsequent increase in value, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss 
previously recognised. Any gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset 
is recognised at that point. The fair values of the assets based on independent market appraisals exceed the  
assets’ carrying values.

For the year ended 30 June 2022

NOTE 15 – IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

In F22 the recoverable amounts of cash generating units (CGUs) exceed their carrying values and as a result no impairment 
has been recognised (F21: Nil). There were no indications that previously recognised impairment losses should be reversed 
(F21: Nil). The recoverable amount was determined through a value in use calculation. The write down of assets disclosed 
in note 4 relates to assets for which their valuation was tested independently of the CGUs in accordance with other 
accounting policies.

As a result of the change to a brand portfolio led divisional model, new CGUs were identified, they are:

•  Penfolds Americas;

•  Penfolds ANZ;

•  Penfolds EMEA;

•  Treasury Americas;

•  Treasury Premium Brands ANZ; and

•  Treasury Premium Brands EMEA.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at a divisional level which is the level it is monitored at.

Accounting policies

Timing of Impairment Testing
The Group tests property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for impairment:

•  At least annually for goodwill and indefinite life brands; and

•  Where there are indications that an asset may be impaired; or

•  Where there is an indication that previously recognised impairments may have changed.

Impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Approach to Impairment Testing
If the asset does not generate independent cash inflows and its value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair 
value, the asset is tested for impairment as part of the CGU to which it belongs.

When an asset’s (or CGU’s) carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, it is impaired. Recoverable amount is the 
higher of the asset’s (or CGU’s) fair value less costs of disposal or value in use.

Fair value is determined in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 1.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate 
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

Reversals of Impairment
If there is an indicator that a previously recognised impairment loss no longer exists or has decreased, recoverable 
amount is estimated. If there has been a change in the estimates used to determine an asset’s recoverable amount 
since an impairment loss was recognised, the carrying value of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount 
(limited to the amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been 
recognised for the asset in prior years).

Any reversal is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income with an 
adjustment to depreciation in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying value, less any residual value,  
on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. The Group does not reverse impairments recognised for goodwill.

98 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022

NOTE 15 – IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Key estimate and judgement:

Impairment testing key assumptions
The Group has estimated recoverable amount based on value in use at 30 June 2022. Key estimates and judgements include:

Cash flow forecasts
Cash flow forecasts are based on the Group’s most recent five-year financial plans approved by the Board. Key 
assumptions in the cash flow forecasts include sales volume growth, cost of sales and cost of doing business.

The Group’s assumptions regarding sales volume growth and costs of doing business are based on expectations of the 
market demand and past experience. The assumption on cost of sales is based on expectation about future vintage 
costs which assume continuity of sourcing and access to fruit.

These estimates, judgements and assumptions are based on forecasts of economic conditions which reflect expectations 
and assumptions as at 30 June 2022 about future events that the Directors believe are reasonable in the circumstances.

Long-term growth rates
Cash flow forecasts beyond a five-year period are extrapolated using a growth rate range of 2.0% to 3.0% (F21: 2.0% to 3.0%). 
Growth rates are specific to individual CGUs and reflect expected future market and economic conditions.

Discount rates
The Group applies a post-tax discount rate to post-tax cash flows as the valuation calculated using this method  
closely approximates applying pre-tax discount rates to pre-tax cash flows. The post-tax discount rates incorporate  
a risk-adjustment relative to the risks associated with the net post-tax cash flows being achieved. The following  
pre-tax discount rates were applied:

Penfolds Americas

Penfolds ANZ

Penfolds EMEA

Treasury Americas

Treasury Premium Brands ANZ

Treasury Premium Brands EMEA

2022

9.0%

11.1%

10.5%

9.4%

11.1%

10.5%

Exchange rates
Cash flow forecasts in foreign currency are forecast in that currency and discounted using the applicable regional 
discount rates (predominantly USD and GBP).

Sensitivity analysis
Increases in discount rates or changes in other key assumptions, such as operating conditions or financial performance, 
may cause the recoverable amount to fall below carrying values.

Based on current economic conditions and CGU performance, there are no reasonably possible changes to key 
assumptions used in the determination of CGU recoverable amounts that would result in an impairment to the Group.

Other provisions include $26.2 million (F21: $35.9 million) in relation to estimated repair costs for a winery and vineyards 
that were damaged by wildfires in the Americas.

Onerous contract provisions are held for IT infrastructure and service contracts that have been identified as being  
surplus to the Group’s needs. The restructuring provision comprises costs in relation to the Group’s rationalisation  
and restructure program.

Accounting policies
Provisions are recognised for present obligations (legal, equitable or constructive) to make future payments (or other 
transfer of value) to other entities due to past transactions or events. They are recognised only when it is probable the 
liability will arise and when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount.

If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash 
flows at a pre-tax risk-free rate plus, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, 
the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Employee entitlements
Liabilities for employees’ entitlements to wages and salaries, annual leave and other current employee entitlements 
(that are expected to be paid within 12 months) are measured at amounts expected to be paid as at the reporting 
date.

Liabilities for other employee entitlements, which are not expected to be paid or settled within 12 months of reporting 
date, are accrued in respect of all employees at the present value of future amounts expected to be paid.

Restructuring
Restructuring provisions are recognised at the point when a detailed plan for the restructure has been developed and 
implementation has commenced. The cost of restructuring provided is the estimated future cash flows, discounted 
at the appropriate rate which reflects the risks of the cash flow.

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever  
an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination 
benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of a current employee according  
to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or upon the provision of an offer to encourage voluntary 
redundancy.

Onerous contracts
Onerous contracts are measured at the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net 
cost of continuing with the contract (discounted to present value if material).

Capital structure
For the year ended 30 June 2022

NOTE 17 – CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group considers capital to be the combination of shareholders’ equity, reserves and net debt. The key objectives  
of the Group’s approach to capital management include:

•  Safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;

•  Maintaining a credit profile and the requisite financial metrics that secures access to funding with a spread of maturity 

dates and sufficient undrawn committed facility capacity;

•  Optimising over the long term, and to the extent practicable, the weighted average cost of capital to reduce the 

Group’s cost of capital while maintaining financial flexibility; and

•  To provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders.

In order to optimise the Group’s capital structure and in line with the Group’s strategic objectives and operating plans,  
the Company may:

•  Alter the amount of dividends paid to shareholders;

•  Return capital to shareholders;

•  Issue new shares;

•  Vary discretionary capital expenditure;

•  Draw-down additional debt; or

•  Sell assets to reduce debt.

Various financial ratios and internal targets are assessed and reported to the Board on a regular basis by management 
to monitor and support the key objectives set out above. These ratios and targets include:

•  An earnings to net interest expense ratio;

•  A total net indebtedness to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and self-generating and 

regenerating assets ratio; and

•  Group debt maturity profile.

Details of major arrangements
US Private Placement Notes
US Private Placement (USPP) notes totalling US$325.0 million (unsecured) are outstanding, with maturities ranging from 
December 2023 to June 2029. The carrying value of USPP notes at 30 June 2022 is $472.2 million (F21: $432.7 million).

In June 2022 the Group negotiated a USPP issuance totalling US$250 million with tranches of US$175 million maturing 
September 2032 and US$75 million maturing September 2034. Funding will be completed in September 2022 and a 
portion will be used to repay the syndicated debt facilities maturing in June 2023.

Debt Facilities
During the year $1.4 billion of existing debt facilities were refinanced to include the establishment of Sustainability Linked 
Loans, providing a direct link between the Group’s sustainability performance and its cost of capital. The Group established 
a further US$240 million syndicated debt facility with US$170 million being repaid and extinguished during the year.

Syndicated debt facilities now total US$420 million with US$70 million maturing June 2023, US$120 million maturing 
December 2026 and US$230 million maturing in December 2027 which are fully drawn at 30 June 2022. The carrying 
value of the syndicated debt facilities at 30 June 2022 is $610.2 million (F21:$466.0 million). The US$70 million maturing 
in June 2023 will be repaid using the proceeds of the new USPP issuance.

The Group has in place several revolving bank debt facilities with maturities staggered through to June 2026.  
As at 30 June 2022 there are no amounts drawn under the revolving bank debt facilities (F21: Nil).

USPP notes bear interest at fixed and floating interest rates. In accordance with the Group’s risk management strategy,  
the Group has entered into a combination of fixed to floating and floating to fixed interest rate swaps to obtain the desired 
fixed/floating interest ratio, with interest rate collars also used to manage interest rate risk. Refer to note 24 for further details.

NOTE 18 – BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)

Financial guarantees
The Group has issued financial guarantees to other persons of $28.4 million (F21: $23.5 million) that could be called upon at 
any time in the event of a breach of the Group’s financial obligations. No payments are expected to eventuate under these 
financial guarantees as the Group expects to meet its respective obligations to the beneficiaries of these guarantees.

Lease liabilities
The Group enters into Lease arrangements that meet the capitalisation requirements under AASB 16 Leases. Current and 
non-current lease liabilities are recognised for the present value of the lease payments due under the lease contracts 
and are represented as borrowings.

At 30 June 2022, the Group recognised current lease liabilities of $62.2 million (F21: $54.8 million) and non-current lease 
liabilities of $546.8 million (F21: $557.8 million). The Group’s lease arrangements have durations up to 25 years.

Receivables purchasing agreement
The Group has entered into an uncommitted non-recourse receivable purchasing agreement to sell certain domestic 
and international receivables, from time to time, to an unrelated entity in exchange for cash. As at 30 June 2022,  
nil receivables had been derecognised under this arrangement (F21: nil).

Accounting policies
Borrowings are initially recorded at fair value of the consideration received, net of directly attributable costs.

After initial recognition, borrowings are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.  
Amortised cost is calculated by considering any issue costs, and any discount or premium on issuance.  
Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income if borrowings  
are derecognised.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion 
to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. Ordinary shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person 
or by proxy, at a meeting of the Company. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are 
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax from the proceeds.

Purchase of shares for LTIP plans
The Group engages a third party to purchase shares in the Company to be used to satisfy share-based payment 
obligations upon vesting under the Group’s Employee Equity Plans. Historically, such commitments were satisfied by  
way of treasury share purchases (i.e. the Group acquiring shares on market directly). There are no treasury shares held  
at 30 June 2022 (F21: Nil).

Under this arrangement during the period, the Group purchased 1.4 million shares ($17.3 million) under the third-party 
arrangement (F21: 0.3 million shares ($2.8 million)). A total of 0.8 million shares (F21: 0.1 million) purchased under the 
third-party arrangement are available at 30 June 2022 (F21: Nil).

The Group operates equity plans as outlined below:
STIP Restricted Equity
One-third of earned STIP is delivered in the form of deferred equity (Restricted Shares). The key terms of this award are:

•  Subject to a mandatory restriction period and continued employment. Half of the award is restricted for one year and 

the remaining half for two years from grant date;

•  Holders of Restricted Shares are entitled to dividends and to exercise their voting rights during the restriction;

•  Will generally be forfeited if the executive is dismissed for cause or resigns. Clawback mechanisms apply.

LTIP
Under the LTIP certain employees receive Performance Rights which entitle participants to receive the Company’s shares 
at no cost subject to the achievement of performance conditions and continued employment. No dividends are payable 
to participants prior to vesting. The performance conditions are:

•  Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR)

•  Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) growth

•  Will generally be forfeited if the executive is dismissed for cause or resigns. Clawback mechanisms apply.

The F20 – F22 performance rights are subject to TSR and ROCE targets weighted of 25% for TSR and 75% for ROCE over  
a performance period of 3 years. The TSR and ROCE measures for the F20 plan were not met in F22 resulting in Nil vesting.

Mid-term Incentive Plan (MTIP)
The Group awarded an MTIP grant in F21 and F22. Under the MTIP certain employees receive Performance Rights which 
entitle the participant to receive shares at no cost subject to the achievement of performance conditions and continuing 
employment. The F21 and F22 plans have two equal vesting conditions: time-based (50%) and ROCE growth (50%).  
For the time-based conditions half vest in 1-year (25%) and half in 2-years (25%). The ROCE measure for the F21 MTIP Plan 
was not met in F22 resulting in Nil vesting.

Restricted Equity Plan (REP)
Under the REP certain employees receive a grant of restricted equity awards in the form of Restricted Shares. If Restricted 
Shares cannot be awarded (e.g. due to country specific regulation) Deferred Share Rights are granted. The award is at no 
cost to the employee and is subject to a restriction period. Restricted equity awards require continued employment with 
the Group through the restriction period. Other terms are similar to the STIP terms above.

Restricted equity awards may be granted to compensate employees for foregoing equity compensation in their previous 
organisation as a sign-on award and/or as a retention incentive.

Share Cellar (broad-based Employee Share Plan)
Share Cellar is the Group’s broad-based Employee Share Plan and plan participation is offered annually. The plan was 
first launched early in 2015. Participation is voluntary and employees in select countries are eligible to join the Plan. Share 
Cellar operates as a matching plan whereby employees contribute funds to the Plan from their after-tax pay and shares 
are acquired by the Group on their behalf. In the plans operating from 2015 to 2018, for every two purchased shares that  
a participant holds at the vesting date (approximately two years) the Group delivers one matched share, subject to 
continued employment. For employees enrolling in the 2020 and 2021 plans, the Group will deliver one matched share  
for every purchased share held at the plan vesting date, subject to continued employment.

Participants are entitled to dividends and to exercise voting rights attached to the shares purchased under the plan,  
and matched shares once they have been allocated.

104 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022

NOTE 22 – EMPLOYEE EQUITY PLANS (CONTINUED)

Accounting policies
Employee equity plans are accounted for as share based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange 
for the awards. The fair value of the shares and performance rights that are expected to vest is progressively recognised 
as an employee benefits expense over the relevant vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity.

The fair value of shares granted is determined by reference to observed market values. The fair value of the TSR 
component of performance rights is independently determined at grant date by an external valuer using a Monte-Carlo 
simulation. For the non-market components (ROCE), the fair value is independently determined based on the share price 
less the present value of dividends.

Non-market performance conditions do not impact the value of shares and performance rights, but rather the 
estimate of the number of shares to vest.

At each reporting date the Company revises the estimate of the number of shares and the non-market component 
of performance rights that are expected to vest, and the employee benefits expense recognised each period 
incorporates this change in estimate.

An expense is recognised for the TSR component of performance rights whether or not the TSR hurdle is met. No 
expense is recognised if these rights do not vest due to cessation of employment. No expense is recognised for shares 
and non-market components of performance rights that do not ultimately vest.

Unrecognised tax assets
There are potential future income tax benefits relating to accumulated losses in non-Australian group companies,  
which have not been brought to account. These possible benefits amount to $31.9 million (F21: $39.2 million).

The Group has carry forward capital tax losses in Australia and the UK respectively. These losses may be used to offset 
any future capital gains derived by activities in these countries. The Group will assess the conditions for deductibility 
imposed by the tax laws of Australia and the UK prior to any utilisation of the capital losses.

Ongoing tax audits
The Group is subject to ongoing tax audits by taxation authorities in several jurisdictions covering a variety of taxes.  
The Group fully cooperates with these enquiries as and when they arise.

Franking credits
The Australian Tax Consolidation Group has $113.3 million (F21: $119.7 million) of franking credits available for subsequent 
reporting periods.

UK corporation tax rate
Following the substantive enactment of Finance Bill 2021, the Group remeasured the deferred tax assets and liabilities  
of its UK operations using the new tax rate and recognised a one-off charge of $6.2 million as of 30 June 2021.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements:
Taxation
For the year ended 30 June 2022

NOTE 23 – INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

Key estimate and judgement:

Taxation
The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations. Significant judgement 
is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations 
undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Where the final 
tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the 
current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Accounting policies

Current taxes
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or paid to, taxation 
authorities at the tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred taxes
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets  
are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carried forward unused tax assets and unused tax losses,  
to the extent it is probable that they will be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent  
that it will become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that 
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to utilise them.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when 
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences at balance sheet date between accounting carrying 
amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, other than for:

•  The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time  

of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss or on the recognition of goodwill.

•  Foreign taxes which may arise in the event of retained profits of foreign controlled entities being remitted to Australia 

as there is no present intention to make any such remittances.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities associated with indefinite life intangibles such as brand names are 
measured based on the tax consequences that would follow from the use and sale of that asset.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Offsetting deferred tax balances
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.

Risk
For the year ended 30 June 2022

NOTE 24 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial risk management framework
The Group’s financial risk management policies (‘Group Treasury Policies’) cover risk tolerance, internal controls  
(including segregation of duties), delegated authority levels, management of foreign currency, interest rate and 
counterparty credit exposures, and the reporting of exposures. These policies are reviewed at least annually  
and approved by the Board of Directors.

The centralised Group Treasury function has been delegated operational responsibility for the identification and 
management of financial risks.

The Group holds financial instruments from financing (principally borrowings), transactions (trade receivables and 
payables) and risk management (derivatives) which result in exposure to the following financial risks, covered by the 
Group Treasury Policies:

•  Liquidity risk;

•  Interest rate risk;

•  Foreign exchange risk; and

•  Counterparty credit risk.

The following table outlines how these risks impact Group financial assets and liabilities:

(a) Liquidity risk
Nature of the risk
The Group is exposed to liquidity risk primarily from its core operating activities. The Group’s focus is to ensure it is able 
to meet financial obligations as and when they fall due.

Risk management
The Group ensures the maintenance, at all times, of an appropriate minimum level of liquidity, comprising committed, 
unutilised debt facilities and cash resources. To facilitate this, the Group monitors forecast and actual cash flows, 
performs sensitivity analysis as well as monitoring the availability and cost of debt and equity funding.

The Group’s objective is to balance continuity of funding and flexibility by maintaining an appropriately structured debt 
maturity profile with a mix of bank and capital (bond) market debt, whilst also monitoring compliance with the Group’s 
key financial covenants and undertakings.

At reporting date, the standby arrangements and unused credit facilities are as follows:

against capitalised facility finance costs of $6.7 million (F21: $5.6 million) to be amortised over the facility period.

(b) Interest rate risk
Nature of the risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk principally from floating rate bank borrowings. Other sources of interest rate risk 
include receivable purchasing agreements, interest-bearing investments, creditors’ accounts offering a discount and 
debtors’ accounts on which discounts are offered.

Risk management
We manage interest rate risk by ensuring that the sensitivity of forecast future earnings to changes in interest rates  
is within acceptable limits. This involves longer term forecasting of both expected earnings and expected borrowing  
to determine the tolerable exposure.

A combination of interest rate swaps have been exchanged to obtain the desired ratio of fixed and floating interest rates. 
At 30 June 2022, interest rate swap contracts were in use to exchange fixed interest rates to floating rates on $363.2 million 
(US$250.0 million) of US Private Placement notes. A combination of floating to fixed interest rate swaps and fixed interest rate 
caps have been used to exchange the floating rates to fixed on all US Private Placement notes (US$325 million). The swaps 
mature in December 2023, June 2027 and June 2029. Cross currency interest rate swaps are used to exchange floating USD 
interest on a portion of the USD syndicated debt facility of US$120 million into AUD fixed rate of $166.6 million with maturities 
in December 2026. Please refer note 24(a) for the profile and timing of cash flows over the next five years.

The movements in profit on a consolidated level are primarily a result of interest costs from borrowings. There would have 
been no significant impact on equity.

(c) Foreign exchange risk
Nature of the risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk through:

•  Transaction exposures including sales of wine into export markets and the purchase of production inputs, denominated 

in foreign currencies other than the respective functional currency of the specific Group entity;

•  Exposures arising from borrowings denominated in foreign currencies; and

•  Translation exposures including earnings of foreign subsidiaries and revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities, 

including borrowings.

The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are the Australian Dollar (AUD), United States Dollar 
(USD) and Great British Pound (GBP). Other currencies used include the Canadian Dollar, Euro, New Zealand Dollar, 
Singapore Dollar, Swedish Krona, Norwegian Krone, Chinese Renminbi and South African Rand.

Risk management
The focus of the Group’s foreign exchange risk management activities is on the transactional exposures arising from the 
sourcing and sale of wine.

A proportion of expenses are hedged over time up to a period of three years. The nominal amount and average hedge 
rate of the instruments in place at 30 June 2022 are disclosed in the following table.

In determining the amount of hedging required, the Group also considers the ‘natural hedges’ arising from the underlying 
net cash flows in the relevant currency, comprising operating, investing and financing cash flows.

(d) Credit risk
Nature of the risk
Counterparty credit risk arises primarily from the following assets:

•  Cash and cash equivalents;

•  Trade and other receivables; and

•  Derivative instruments.

Risk management
The Group’s counterparty credit risk management philosophy is to limit the Group’s loss from default by any one 
counterparty by dealing only with financial institution counterparties of good credit standing, setting maximum exposure 
limits for each counterparty, and taking a conservative approach to the calculation of counterparty credit limit usage. 
Where available, credit opinions on counterparties from two credit rating agencies are used to determine credit limits.

The Group assesses the credit quality of individual customers prior to offering credit terms and continues to monitor  
on a regular basis. Each customer is assigned a risk profile based upon the measurable risk indicators for dishonoured 
payments, adverse information and average days late along with the securities and guarantees held. All prospective 
accounts are required to complete a credit application and generally a director’s guarantee is required with minimal 
exceptions. Failure to provide a director’s guarantee results in either no credit or a limited level of credit offered. Credit 
terms may be reduced or extended for individual customers based on risk.

In F22 the Group, as part of its normal monitoring of the credit quality of trade receivables, continued frequent telephone 
contact and engagement with customers to understand customer trading and credit circumstances, and supporting 
them through any short-term challenges identified. The Group also continued to monitor customer credit risk 
assessments across the entire customer portfolio.

Past due accounts are subject to a number of collection activities which range from telephone contact, suspension  
of orders through to legal action. Past due accounts are reviewed monthly with specific focus on accounts that are 
greater than 90 days overdue. Where debt cannot be recovered, it is escalated from the credit representative to the  
credit manager to initiate recovery action.

For derivatives, the Group transacts under an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting 
agreement. If a credit event such as a default occurs, all outstanding transactions under an ISDA agreement are 
terminated, the termination value is assessed and only a single net amount is payable in settlement of all transactions.

Level of exposure at balance date
The maximum counterparty credit risk exposure at 30 June 2022 in respect of derivative financial instruments was 
$22.0 million (F21: $4.5 million) and in respect of cash and cash equivalents was $186.2 million (F21: $125.0 million). 
The Group’s authorised counterparties are restricted to banks and financial institutions whose long-term credit rating  
is at or above a Standard and Poors rating of A- (or Moody’s equivalent rating of A3), with any exceptions requiring 
approval from the Board. Commercial paper investments are restricted to counterparties whose short-term credit  
rating is at or above a Standard and Poor’s rating of A-1 (or Moody’s equivalent rating of P-2). The magnitude of credit  
risk in relation to receivables is generally the carrying amount, net of any allowance for expected credit loss.

Trade receivables have been aged according to their due date. Terms may be extended on a temporary basis with the 
approval of management. The past due receivables shown above relate to customers who have a good debt history and 
are considered recoverable. There is no collateral held as security against the receivables above and there are no other 
receivables past due.

NOTE 25 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

At reporting date, there were $385.4 million (Australian dollar equivalent) net face value of outstanding foreign exchange 
contracts at contract rates (F21: $324.0 million), interest rate swaps of $857.2 million (F21: $665.7 million) and cross currency 
interest rate swaps of $174.4 million (F21: $159.8 million) and interest rate collars of $203.4 million (F21: $146.5 million).  
These instruments are regarded as Level 2 under AASB’s Fair Value measurement hierarchy.

NOTE 26 – FAIR VALUES

The fair value of the US Private Placement Notes is $484.1 million (F21: $492.8 million) and the fair value of the syndicated 
debt facility is $644.3 million (F21: $500.0 million). The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, financial assets and other 
financial liabilities approximate their carrying value. There have been no reclassifications of financial assets from fair 
value to cost, or from cost or amortised cost to fair value during the year.

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based upon market prices, or models using inputs observed from 
the market, where markets exist or have been determined by discounting the expected future cash flows by the current 
interest rate for financial assets and financial liabilities with similar risk profiles (a Level 2 valuation).

The valuation of derivative financial assets and liabilities reflects the estimated amounts which the Group would be 
required to pay or receive to terminate the contracts (net of transaction costs) or replace the contracts at their current 
market rates at reporting date. This is based on internal valuations using standard valuation techniques.

As the purpose of these derivative financial instruments is to hedge the Group’s underlying assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies and to hedge against risk of interest rate fluctuations, it is unlikely in the absence 
of abnormal circumstances that these contracts would be terminated prior to maturity.

For all other recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, based on the facts and circumstances existing  
at reporting date and the nature of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities including hedge positions,  
the Group has no reason to believe that the financial assets could not be exchanged, or the financial liabilities  
could not be settled, in an arm’s length transaction at an amount approximating its carrying amount.

NOTE 29 – DEED OF CROSS GUARANTEE

Under the terms of ASIC Corporations (Wholly owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785, certain wholly owned controlled 
entities have been granted relief from the requirement to prepare audited financial reports. It is a condition of the class 
order that the Company and each of the relevant subsidiaries enter into a Deed of Cross Guarantee whereby each 
company guarantees the debts of the companies party to the Deed. The member companies of the Deed of Cross 
Guarantee are regarded as the ‘Closed Group’ and identified in note 27.

A summarised consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, retained earnings reconciliation 
and a consolidated statement of financial position, comprising the Company and those controlled entities which are  
a party to the Deed of Cross Guarantee, after eliminating all transactions between parties to the Deed, at 30 June 2022

NOTE 32 – OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Other accounting policies
Finance income
Finance income is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which applies a rate that 
discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying 
amount of the financial asset.

Finance costs
Finance costs are recognised as an expense when they are incurred, except for interest charges attributable to major 
projects with substantial development and construction phases, which are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset.

Financial assets
A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income 
unless it meets the definition of amortised cost. This is determined on initial recognition.

Financial assets classified as at amortised cost are measured initially at fair value and adjusted in respect of  
any incremental and directly attributable transaction costs. All other financial assets are measured at fair value  
on initial recognition.

Reclassification occurs only if there are fundamental changes to the Group’s business model for managing  
financial assets.

Amortised cost
A financial asset is classified as at amortised cost only if the asset is held to collect contractual cash flows and the 
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Any gains and losses are 
recognised through the amortisation process or when the financial asset is derecognised or impaired.

Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value 
through profit or loss. ECLs are determined using historical recovery of contractual cash flows and the amount of loss 
incurred, adjusted for current economic and credit conditions.

An impairment loss is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the 
contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original 
effective interest rate. Impairment losses on assets classified as amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss when 
they are expected, not when they are incurred. If a later event causes the impairment loss to decrease, the amount 
is reversed in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets
The derecognition of a financial asset takes place when the Group no longer controls the contractual rights that 
comprise the financial instrument.

This is normally the case when the instrument is sold or all the cash flows attributable to the instrument are passed 
through to an independent third party.

Derivatives
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency contracts, interest rate swaps and options  
to hedge its risks associated with interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments 
are carried at fair value and are financial assets when the fair value is positive and financial liabilities when the fair 
value is negative.

For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are 
taken directly to profit or loss for the year.

Hedge accounting
For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as either fair value hedges when they hedge the exposure 
to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; cash flow hedges where they hedge exposure to variability 
in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a forecasted 
transaction; or hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Initial recognition
At the beginning of a hedge relationship, the Group designates and documents the hedge relationship and the related 
risk management objective and strategy. The documentation identifies the hedging instrument and the hedged item 
as well as describing the economic relationship, the hedge ratio between them and potential sources of ineffectiveness. 
The documentation also includes the nature of the risk being hedged and the method of assessing the hedging 
instrument’s effectiveness. To achieve hedge accounting, the relationship must be expected to be highly effective and 
are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they continue to meet the risk management objective.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements:
Other
For the year ended 30 June 2022

NOTE 32 – OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Re-balancing
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer met but the risk management objective remains 
unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the Group will rebalance the relationship  
by adjusting either the volume of the hedged item or the volume of the hedging instrument.

Discontinuation
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer 
qualifies for hedge accounting. At that point in time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument 
recognised in equity is kept in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer 
expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to profit or loss for the year.

Gains or losses recognised directly in equity are reclassified into profit and loss in the same period or periods the 
foreign currency risk affects consolidated profit and loss.

Fair value hedges
For fair value hedges (for example, interest rate swaps), any gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument is 
recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Where the adjustment  
is to the carrying amount of a hedged interest-bearing financial instrument, the adjustment is amortised to the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income such that it is fully amortised by maturity.

Cash flow hedges
In relation to cash flow hedges (forward foreign currency contracts) to hedge firm commitments, the portion of the 
gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in equity  
and the ineffective portion is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

When the hedged item gives rise to the recognition of an asset or a liability, the associated deferred gains or losses  
are included in the initial measurement of the asset or liability.

For all other cash flow hedges, the gains or losses that are recognised in equity are transferred to the statement  
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the same period in which the hedged firm commitment affects 
the profit and loss, for example when the future sale actually occurs.

NOTE 33 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

From time to time, Companies within the Group are party to various legal actions as well as inquiries from regulators and 
government bodies that have arisen in the normal course of business. The Directors have given consideration to such 
matters which are or may be subject to claims or litigation at year end and are of the opinion that any liabilities arising 
over and above already provided in the financial statements from such action would not have a material effect on the 
Group’s financial performance.

It is not practical to estimate the potential effect of these matters however the Group believe that it is not probable that 
a significant liability will arise.

Class actions
An Australian shareholder class action has been commenced against TWE Limited.

One action was served on 2 April 2020 by Slater & Gordon (S&G) acting for Brett Stallard as trustee for the Stallard 
superannuation fund. A second action was served on 1 May 2020 by Maurice Blackburn (MB) acting for Steven Napier. 
The class in both proceedings comprise shareholders who purchased shares between 30 June 2018 and 28 January 
2020.Both proceedings allege that the Company breached its continuous disclosure obligations under the ASX Listing 
Rules and the Corporations Act and that it engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct in contravention of the 
Corporations Act and the ASIC Act. The two actions were consolidated into a single action on 15 October 2020.

With regard to claims, the Company strongly denies any and all allegations made against it and is vigorously defending 
the proceedings.

Based on the information currently available, the Company does not know the quantum of the class action. No provision 
has been recognised at 30 June 2022 in respect of the claim.

NOTE 34 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Frank Family Vineyards
On 14 December 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Frank Family Vineyards LLC (‘FFV’), a Company 
incorporated in the US. FFV is highly acclaimed luxury wine business based in the Napa Valley, California. comprising two 
vineyards, a single winery, and a highly renowned tasting room and direct to consumer wine club model.

The cash consideration of US$316.9 million was funded by a combination of cash resources (including proceeds from 
recent US asset divestments) and utilising the Group’s cash and debt facilities.

122 – TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL REPORT 2022

NOTE 34 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

From the date of acquisition, FFV contributed $61.0 million revenue and $14.2 million profit before tax from continuing 
operations of the Group. Estimated F22 EBITS from the acquired entities that would have been earned if the acquisition 
had occurred at the commencement of the financial year was $28.5 million. Additionally, information relating to the fair 
value of assets acquired is not available to accurately determine any purchase price accounting adjustments that would 
have been recognised had the acquisition taken place on 1 July 2021. Transaction and integration costs of $12.8 million 
were expensed and are included in administration expenses, refer to Note 5 for further detail.

above amounts, or any additional provisions that existed at the date of acquisition, the accounting for the acquisition  
will be revised.

Other business acquisition
During the year the Group acquired production and vineyard assets in the Bordeaux region of France to expand its French 
country-of-origin portfolio, centered on the Penfolds brand. Cash consideration of $8.0 million was paid to acquire 100%

restructure of supply assets in America.

In July 2022 the Group agreed to acquire a 78.6% stake in Chateau Lanessan, including its production and vineyard 
assets in the Bordeaux region of France. The cash outflow associated with the acquisition is expected to be approximately 
A$60 million, including a capital injection to fund winery and vineyard development. Completion is expected in 
October 2022, subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent.

The Directors are not aware of any other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year
