OUR THREE-YEAR PLAN FOR GROWTH

The results of our 
Simplify, De-Risk and 
Growth strategies are 
now becoming clear and 
the changes we have 
made are delivering both 
market share growth 
and margin expansion, 
as well as de-risking the 
business.

We have identified four 
key areas underpinning 
earnings growth and 
these will be our focus 
going forward. 

RETAIL OPTIMISATION 

Optimising the property network and customer experience  
for retail consumers

VEHICLE PURCHASING DECISION-MAKING

Diagnostic tools and use of data tools to improve on the 
percentage of profit making vehicles

PREMIUM LENDING

Use of comprehensive credit data to strengthen our risk 
pricing strategy attracting higher quality borrowers, with 
lower margins more than offset by much lower impairments 
and losses 

CONTINUED INVESTMENT IN DIGITAL AND  
OMNI-CHANNEL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

Digital initiatives across all businesses to create efficiencies 
and provide an enhanced customer experience 

We have already found the right formula and will  
continue to optimise these areas to drive further 
earnings growth in all our businesses.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CHAIR AND CEO’S REPORT

Many of the changes we 
have made over the last 
two to three years are 
now starting to provide 
strong traction and we 
were pleased to report a 
record profit and record 
dividend in FY21. 

The used car market proved resilient during the year and 
rebounded strongly following the initial COVID-lockdowns.  
We saw the benefits of the `high trust’ Turners brand during 
this time as consumers turned to us for their vehicle needs. 

Our team responded incredibly well to the pandemic. Their 
high levels of engagement combined with the diversified 
nature of the business, ensured we were well positioned as 
we moved out of lockdown. “We went early” on our cost 
reduction plans and a number of the changes we have made 
in the business over the last few years put us in a position to 
be able to take advantage of the opportunities available to us.

As a group, we have continued to build quality customer 
experiences, and improve the quality of the work environment 
for our people, which in turn will deliver quality returns for our 
shareholders. 

Margin expansion and market share gains are helping deliver 
the bottom line growth that we knew was possible, and the 
mix of diversified earnings is delivering the consistent growth 
plus yield that shareholders are looking for.

Our company is in a real position of strength and 
we are very confident in our growth plans. 

STRONG FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Although a disrupted operating period saw FY21 revenue 
down 11% to $296.5m, a strong response from the business, 
including acceleration of our digital strategy and rigorous cost 
management saw three of our four divisions lift profit strongly. 
Only Credit Management was down on last year’s result with 
a number of our corporate and bank customers reluctant to 
pursue debt aggressively over the COVID-19 period. 

Demonstrating the benefits of the Group’s diversified annuity 
businesses, profit rose 50% in Insurance, 30% in Finance 
and 11% in Automotive Retail, contributing to strong and 
sustainable yield. Profit in the Credit Management business 
was down 22%.

We remain committed to delivering a strong and sustainable 
yield to shareholders and were pleased to deliver record 
dividends of 20 cents per share in FY21. This is a payout ratio 
of 64% of net profit after tax. 

Our funding remains at conservative levels, 
with plenty of headroom to support our growth 
plans. During the year, we increased the size 
of the securitisation warehouse with BNZ 
from $250m to $300m which is a strong vote 
of confidence from their credit analysis and 
scrutiny. 

OPERATING PERFORMANCE  
BY DIVISION

Turners’ Auto Retail, Finance and Insurance 
divisions all delivered significantly improved 
earnings. Only Credit Management had an 
earnings decrease year on year, which was 
due to the reduced debt load during the last 
12 months as many of the large banks stopped 
collection actions due to the reputational risk 
during COVID-19. 

Record dividends  
in FY21 equated to  
a gross yield of  
8.1% p.a*

*based on a share price of $3.42  
as at 31 March 2021

AUTO RETAIL

Revenue $201.0m – 11% 
Operating Profit $15.4m +11% 

The Auto Retail division revenue was 11% lower 
at $201.0m, reflecting fewer units, an impact of 
the national and regional lockdowns. Volumes 
have recovered in the second half of the year 
and improving margins have been a significant 
driver of profitability. Margin expansion is due 
to a number of buying initiatives and a result 
of tight supply of cars nationally, due to supply 
constraints for new cars. 

Reducing the cost base was a key priority 
out of lockdown. The used car market has 
demonstrated resilience, not just rebounding 
after lockdowns, but through the economic 
cycle. 

FINANCE

Revenue $47.9m +5% 
Operating Profit $15.8m +30%

The Finance division is now a significant 
contributor to group earnings and has gone 
from strength to strength over the last 12 
months, with the highest segmental NPBT. 
Revenue for FY21 was $47.9m, up 5% on last 
year. NPBT was $15.8m up 30% of the year 
prior, continuing to gain market share in the 
high quality borrower segment of customers, 
providing more than 45% of the new loans 
written each month in the premium risk tier. 
Targeting high-quality borrowers means arrears 
are at record low levels with Consumer arrears 
at 4.2% and Commercial arrears at 1.8%. Finance 
has retained a COVID-19 arrears provision buffer 
to allow for any unemployment increase in 
future months. 

INSURANCE

Revenue $41.9m -5% 
Operating Profit $9.4m +50% 

Insurance revenue decreased 5% to $41.9m 
due to the impact of national and regional 
lockdowns.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021Gross Written Premium (GWP) increased for the 
year due to a number of key competitive wins 
and risk pricing adjustments and despite the 
lockdowns was 2% ahead of FY20. NPBT was 
up 50% to $9.4m on higher margins, reduced 
claims, lower overhead costs, and the finish 
of amortising the acquired premium portfolio 
as part of the Autosure acquisition from Vero 
in 2017. Progress on building our distribution 
over the year included two sizeable system 
integration projects completed with Marac 
Finance and MTF Finance. Combined claims 
ratios improved from 69% in FY20 to 60% in 
FY21.

CREDIT MANAGEMENT

Revenue $12.8m -29% 
Operating Profit $5.1m -22%

Credit Management revenue decreased 29% 
to $12.8m, due to the impact of COVID-19 and 
the market-wide conservatism with respect to 
debt collection during the first phase of the 
pandemic. Debt load was down 47% to $119m 
over the FY21 year as a result of this reputation 
management. Many large corporate customers 
only recently once again began initiating 
collection actions. Despite revenue being down 
29%, NPBT was only down 22% to $5.1m. The 
division is working closely with referrers to 
manage and improve customer outcomes as we 
operate in an environment where bad debts are 
likely to increase and debt collection services 
will see increasing demand. We have now seen 
lenders who were prioritising reputation over 
collections, reinitiate debt load and collections 
work. A similar pattern was experienced post 
the GFC, before a busy collection period began.

SUSTAINABILTY

Our drive to create a better business 
encompasses not only delivering returns to our 
shareholders, but also supporting our people, 
our communities and our environment.

As would be expected, the focus of our 
sustainability strategy in FY21 was primarily 
around looking after the welfare of our staff and 
the needs of our customers. At no other time 
has the importance of supporting our people 
been more evident and staff welfare and safety 
was a priority. We were able to keep many staff 
working from home and financially supported 
those who were unable to work.

We have implemented Peakon, an employee 
engagement survey which gives our people 
a regular opportunity to provide feedback 
on a whole range of topics, including 
employee engagement. We have seen positive 
improvement in our scores since launch 
and are very pleased with the high levels of 
engagement right across the group.

Across nearly 700 employees we are 
averaging 8+ out of 10 to the question 
“how likely is it that you would recommend 
Turners Auto Group as a place to work?”.

Health and safety remains a priority and at the 
start of the pandemic, we moved quickly to 
create new ways of working, to keep our people 
and our customers safe during this time. 

We believe in doing the right thing for our 
customers and our people, and are committed 
to ethical and fair conduct. During FY21, we 
dealt with 1,700+ customer hardship situations 
in Oxford Finance and successfully rehabilitated 
96% of those over the last 12 months.

We are conscious that we operate in a sector 
which has a high carbon footprint and are 
in the process of measuring our own carbon 
impact. We are helping by removing old and 
end of life cars off the road and are making a 
serious investment into increasing our Turners 
Subscription electric vehicle fleet, which makes 
it more accessible for people to try and drive an 
EV car.

We also take sustainability into account when 
building new sites and premises. We are piloting 
solar power installations in two of our sites and 
have committed to rainwater retention systems. 

LOOKING FORWARD

A STRONG FOCUS ON ORGANIC GROWTH

Our growth plan has developed over the last 24 
months and we are confident our actions will 
deliver continuing growth over the next three 
years. 

Four key areas will underpin our earnings 
growth. These will be a combination of both 
physical and digital investments and initiatives 
are already underway. 

1.   Retail Optimisation across people, property 

and processes. 

2.   Vehicle purchasing decision-making using 

data and tools to help identify new sourcing 
opportunities and ensure our vehicle buyers 
are maximising opportunities 

3.   Growing premium lending within Finance

4.   Continued investment in digital and 

improving our omni-channel customer 
experience which allows customers to 
engage with us however, whenever and 
wherever they want.

Our focus is on organic growth which will be 
funded out of retained earnings and we are 
continually assessing ways to make our business 
more capital efficient. 

Net Profit Before Tax Bridge ($M)

Within three years we 
are targeting profit 
before tax of $45 
million. This would 
equate to a dividend 
payout of 24cps.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2021

We have identified key work 
streams in each of our divisions. 
In Auto Retail, stock acquisition 
is the single most important area 
of investment. Strategically this 
is where our competitive moat 
becomes even wider. In Finance, 
simplifying and automating as 
much of our lending process 
is the number one priority. In 
Insurance, continuing to expand 
our distribution is the top of the 
work stream list; and in Credit 
Management, investing in data 
initiatives to improve contact 
rates will be the most important 
area we will be working on.

A GREEN SUBSCRIPTION OPPORTUNITY 

Consumer interest in 
Turners Subscription 
platform is steadily 
building and the addition 
of electric vehicles is 
proving an added bonus 
for those looking for a 
‘greener’ drive. 

Turners now has more than twenty electric vehicles available 
for subscription from as low as $112 per week. The initial 
ten vehicles were co-funded through the Energy Efficiency 
and Conservation Authority (EECA) low emission vehicles 
contestable fund, a programme designed to accelerate EV 
uptake in New Zealand.

Turners Subscription provides customers with the opportunity 
to try cars that they ordinarily may not consider purchasing, 
such as electric vehicles. We know with EVs the large capital 
outlay is a major impediment to uptake.

Subscription is a great way to make EVs far 
more accessible to more Kiwis and allow people 
to really experience an EV and assess whether it 
will work for them before committing to the full 
cost of purchase.

The Saunders-Smeath family from Northland 
were amongst the first in New Zealand to 
make use of an innovative new Electric Vehicle 
subscription service available from Turners.

“We’ve learnt a lot about EV’s and their 
potential with regards to sustainability 
opportunities now and into the future,” said 
Chris Saunders. “We had some preconceived 
ideas about what it might be like, so the chance 
to drive the vehicle for an extended time has 
been quite an eye-opener.”

Asked whether they would consider buying an 
EV, Chris said “Yes, after the experience we’ve 
had, we certainly would consider doing so.” 

Turners Subscription launched in October 2020 
and uptake has been growing from customers 
looking for the flexibility and convenience that a 
subscription service offers.

EXPANDING OUR RETAIL NETWORK

We continue to optimise our 
Auto Retail network as we 
aim to be closer and more 
accessible to our customers 
and progress the transition 
from wholesale to retail. We 
regularly assess new regions 
and sites and see a significant 
opportunity in provincial  
New Zealand.

In FY21, we expanded our portfolio as follows:

■		 Dunedin (May 20) – replaced an existing site with a 

new site almost double the size (9,000m2) and created 
a much better retail experience for customers.

■		 Westgate Auckland (Oct 20) –  Opened a new retail-

optimised site in the up and coming development area 
of Westgate in West Auckland. 

■		 Otahuhu Auckland (Jan 21) – established a new retail 

site in Otahuhu as part of the reconfiguration of the 
Auckland footprint which included exiting the large 
wholesale facility at Penrose.

We have been building up a portfolio of 
property assets within Turners Automotive 
Group over the last seven years. We have 
been able to leverage some of the insurance 
company reserves to invest in these properties 
to support the Auto Retail division. The 
developed properties are on the balance sheet 
at a cost of $47.3m. 

Based on valuations received at FY21 year 
end, the conservative market valuation of the 
developed properties is now at $61.3m which 
represents an unrealised gain of $14m. We 
have recently purchased two new properties to 
develop in Rotorua and Nelson which will come 
onstream in FY22. These will take our property 
portfolio to 9 sites.

FY21 FINANCIAL REVIEW

This financial 
commentary should 
be read in conjunction 
with the full financial 
statements and Notes to 
the Financial Statements 
in the FY21 Annual 
Report.

REVENUE
The disrupted operating period saw FY21 revenue down 11% 
to $296.5m. Auto Retail, Finance and Insurance sales were 
directly impacted by the hard lockdown in April/May, and 
the later regional lockdowns to a lesser extent. The used car 
market recovered strongly following lockdown, with a positive 
impact on revenue in the second half for all three businesses. 
The Finance book also reflects better quality business written 
at lower interest rates. Credit management revenue impacted 
by lack of debt load from major banks as they managed 
reputational risk. 

PROFIT
Turners Net Profit Before Tax of $37.4m was a 29% increase on 
the prior year. 

Demonstrating the benefits of the Group’s diversified annuity 
businesses, profit rose 50% in Insurance, 30% in Finance and 
11% in Automotive Retail. Profit in the Credit Management 
business was down 22%.

Auto Retail’s result was underpinned by stronger commercial 
business and improved margins on owned inventory. Finance 
was driven by writing higher quality new business and the 
resulting improved arrears performance; and Insurance result 
reflects improvement in claims ratios and cost base.

Net Profit After Tax was up 28% to $26.9m. 

Underlying Net Profit Before Tax was up 19% to $34.3m2. 
While there were a number of COVID-related impacts to profit 
in 1H21, there were no one-off adjustments in 2H21. Turners’ 
run rate is expected to continue at this rate of $3 million-plus 
in operating profit per month.

*A number of properties have been exited as part of Turners’ retail optimisation and cost management plan. Property 
adjustment includes IFRS 16 adjustment of $1.9m benefit offset by property exit costs of $1.3m, and rent relief of $700k

2Underlying Net Profit Before Tax is a non-GAAP measure and excludes one-off or non-cash costs including property sales and acquisitions, COVID-
related support and remuneration sacrifice, review and restructure costs and profit normalisation (Turners’ estimated profit had the business not been 
shut during lockdown). In FY21, these totalled $3.1 million. 

BALANCE SHEET
The balance sheet has the capacity to support growth. 

The cash balance has now reduced to ‘normal’ levels following the precautionary increase in cash 
held in April and May 2020 due to the COVID pandemic. 

Inventory reduction is due to improved stock turn and management of aged stock.

Growing property portfolio with completed sites valued at $61.3 million at FY21 year end (on the 
balance sheet at cost of $47.3m).

The change in Finance receivables reflects quality ledger growth in Oxford.

The property, plant and equipment increase is due to the development of the new site in Otahuhu 
and the purchase of a site in Nelson.

Borrowings reflect some de-leveraging that occurred post lockdown, offset by funding to support 
the growth in Oxford finance lending.

FUNDING MIX 
Turners’ funding remains at conservative levels and is optimised to support growth plans.

Three quarters of debt (77%) relates to finance receivables, of which nearly a quarter of those 
receivables are supported by Turners’ equity. This means we have plenty of capacity from a capital and 
funding point of view to keep Oxford Finance growing. Oxford Finance has an equity to total assets 
ratio of 23% and currently has capacity to underpin a further 18 months growth in the finance book. 

The Securitisation funding facility limit was increased to $300m (including capital contribution from 
TRA), to support growth in Oxford.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ('NZ IFRS') and International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'). Our report is made solely to the Shareholders of the Group. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Shareholders of the Group those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Shareholders of the Group as a body, for our audit work, for our report or for the opinions we have formed. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) ('ISAs (NZ)'). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other than in our capacity as auditor and provider of other assurance services we have no relationship with, or interests in, Turners Automotive Group Limited or any of its subsidiaries. The provision of these other assurance services has not impaired our independence.  27 In addition to this, principals and employees of our firm deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Group. This has not impaired our independence. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.   Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Impairment testing of Goodwill and Other Indefinite Life Intangible Assets As disclosed in Note 22 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements the Group has goodwill of $92.5m allocated across four of the Group’s cash-generating units (‘CGUs’) and brand assets of $67.1m allocated across two of those CGUs.   Goodwill and brand assets were significant to our audit due to the size of the assets and the subjectivity, complexity and uncertainty inherent in the measurement of the recoverable amount of these CGUs for the purpose of the required annual impairment test. The measurement of a CGUs recoverable amount includes the assessment and calculation of its ‘value in-use’. Management has completed the annual impairment test for each of these four CGUs as at 31 March 2021.  This annual impairment test involves complex and subjective estimation and judgement by Management on the future performance of the CGUs, discount rates applied to the future cash flow forecasts, the terminal growth rates, and future market and economic conditions. Management has also engaged an external valuation expert to assist in the annual impairment testing of the four CGUs. Our audit procedures among others included: •Understanding the Group’s internal controls relevant to the accounting estimates used to determine the recoverable value of the Group’s CGUs. •Evaluating Management’s determination of the Group’s four CGUs based on our understanding of the nature of the Group’s business and the economic environment in which the segments operate. We also analysed the internal reporting of the Group to assess how the CGUs are monitored and reported. •Evaluating the competence, capabilities, objectivity and expertise of Management's external valuation expert and the appropriateness of theexpert's work as audit evidence for the relevant assertions. •Challenging Management’s assumptions and estimates used to determine the recoverable value of its indefinite life intangible assets, including those relating to forecasted revenue, cost, capital expenditure and discount rates,by adjusting for future events and corroborating the key market related assumptions to external data (including the consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic). Procedures included: oEvaluating the logic of the value-in-use calculations supporting Management’s annual impairment test and testing the mathematicalaccuracy of these calculations; oEvaluating Management’s process regarding the preparation and review of forecasts; oComparing forecasts to Board approved forecasts; oEvaluating the historical accuracy of the Group’s forecasting to actualhistorical performance; oChallenging and evaluating the forecast growth assumptions; oEvaluating the inputs to the calculation of the discount rates applied; oEngaging our own internal valuation experts to evaluate the logic of the value-in-use calculation and the inputs to the calculation of the discount rates applied; oEvaluating the forecasts, inputs and any underlying assumptions with a view to identifying Management bias; oEvaluating Management’s sensitivity analysis for reasonably possiblechanges in key assumptions; and oPerforming our own sensitivity analyses for reasonably possible changes in key assumptions, the two main assumptions being: thediscount rate and forecast growth assumptions. •Evaluating the related disclosures about indefinite life intangible assetswhich are included in Note 22 in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.  26 Level 9, 45 Queen Street, Auckland 1010PO Box 3899, Auckland 1140New Zealand T:+64 9 309 0463E:auckland@bakertillysr.nzW:www.bakertillysr.nzINDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Shareholders of Turners Automotive Group Limited Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Turners Automotive Group Limited and its subsidiaries ('the Group') on pages 33 to 86, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2021, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ('NZ IFRS') and International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'). Our report is made solely to the Shareholders of the Group. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Shareholders of the Group those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Shareholders of the Group as a body, for our audit work, for our report or for the opinions we have formed. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) ('ISAs (NZ)'). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other than in our capacity as auditor and provider of other assurance services we have no relationship with, or interests in, Turners Automotive Group Limited or any of its subsidiaries. The provision of these other assurance services has not impaired our independence.

28  Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Valuation of Finance Receivables    As disclosed in Note 14 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements, the Group has finance receivable assets of $330.2m. Finance receivable assets were significant to our audit due to the size of the assets and the subjectivity, complexity and uncertainty inherent in the recognition of expected credit losses and the amount of those expected credit losses. Management has prepared expected credit losses models to complete its assessment of expected credit losses for the Group’s finance receivables as at 31 March 2021 (including a COVID-19 related overlay of $1.4m). This assessment involves complex and subjective estimation and judgement by Management on credit risk and the future cash flows of the finance receivables.    Our audit procedures among others included: •Understanding the Group’s internal controls relevant to the accounting estimates used to determine the recoverable value of the Group’s finance receivables. •Evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls over finance receivable origination, ongoing administration and expected credit losses model data and calculations. •Evaluating and challenging the logic, key assumptions, and calculation of Management’s expected credit losses provision for impairment for each finance receivable, examining those finance receivables and forming our own judgements as to whether the expected credit losses provision for impairment recognised by Management is appropriate (including the consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic). Procedures included: oAgreeing a representative sample of finance receivables to the signed loan agreement, client acceptance documents, mortgage documents, and registered valuations performed on acceptance; oInspecting security documentation to ensure that the and its subsidiaries holds a valid charge on security; oEvaluating the logic of the discounted cash flow calculations supporting Management’s expected credit losses provision for impairment and testing the mathematical accuracy of these calculations; oEvaluating the key assumptions and inputs into these discounted cash flow calculations (including the consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on key assumptions); and oInspecting the borrowers' payment history for indicators of difficulties in the borrowers' ability to meet the loan obligations (including the consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on key assumptions). •Evaluating the selection of estimation methods, inputs and any underlying assumptions with a view to identifying Management bias. •For individually assessed finance receivables, examining those finance receivables and forming our own judgements as to whether the expected credit losses provision recognised by Management was appropriate (including the consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the expected credit losses provision). •For the collectively assessed finance receivables, evaluating and challenging the logic of Management’s expected credit losses models and the key assumptions used with our own experience (including the consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on key assumptions). Also, testing key inputs used in the expected credit losses models and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations within the models. •Evaluating the changes made to the provisioning model to capture the effect of the changing economic environment at 31 March 2021 compared to the economic environment at the date when the historical data used to determine the expected credit losses was collected (described in Note 4 to the Group’s consolidated financial statements). •Evaluating the related disclosures (including the accounting policies and accounting estimates) about finance receivable assets, and the risks attached to them, which are included in Note 5 and 14 in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.  29 Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Valuation and completeness of Insurance Contract Liabilities As disclosed in Note 35 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements the Group has insurance contract liabilities of $53.1m. The Group’s insurance contract liabilities were significant to our audit due to the size of the liabilities and the subjectivity, complexity and uncertainty inherent in estimating the impact of claims events that have occurred but for which the eventual outcome remains uncertain. Management has engaged an external actuarial expert to estimate the Group’s insurance contract liabilities as at 31 March 2021. Our audit procedures among others included: •Understanding and evaluating the Group’s internal controls relevant to theaccounting estimates used to determine the valuation of the Group’s insurance policyholder liabilities. •Evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls over insurance contract origination, ongoing administration, claims management and reporting and the integrity of the related data. •Evaluating the competence, capabilities, objectivity and expertise of Management's external actuarial expert and the appropriateness of theexpert's work as audit evidence for the relevant assertions. •Agreeing the data provided to Management's external actuarial expert to the Group’s records. •Engaging our own actuarial expert to assist in understanding and evaluating: othe work and findings of the Group’s external actuarial expert engaged by Management; and othe Group’s actuarial methods and assumptions to assist us inchallenging the appropriateness of actuarial methods and assumptions used by Management. •Evaluating the selection of methods and assumptions with a view to identify Management bias. •Evaluating the related disclosures (including the accounting policies and accounting estimates) about insurance contract liabilities, and the risks attached to them, which are included in Note 35 in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Other Information The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2021 (but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon). Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

30 Responsibilities of the Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (NZ), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectivenessof the Group’s internal control.Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.Conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the Directors and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude thata material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the relateddisclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.31 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent fairly the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or businessactivities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We areresponsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.  From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Matters Relating to the Electronic Presentation of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements This audit report relates to the consolidated financial statements of Turners Automotive Group Limited and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2021 included on Turners Automotive Group Limited’s website. The Directors of Turners Automotive Group Limited are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of Turners Automotive Group Limited’s website. We have not been engaged to report on the integrity of Turners Automotive Group Limited’s website. We accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the consolidated financial statements since they were initially presented on the website. The audit report refers only to the consolidated financial statements named above. It does not provide an opinion on any other information which may have been hyper linked to or from these consolidated financial statements.

2.  BASIS OF PREPARATION 
2.1  Statement of Compliance 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand ('NZ GAAP'). 
They  comply  with  New  Zealand  Equivalents  to  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  ('NZ  IFRS')  and  other  applicable  Financial 
Reporting Standards, as appropriate for profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards ('IFRS'). 

2.2  Basis of measurement 
The financial report has  been  prepared  under the historical cost convention,  as  modified  by revaluations for certain classes  of  assets  and 
liabilities to fair  value  and  life  insurance contract liabilities  and related  assets to net  present  value  as  described in the  accounting policies 
below. 

2.3  Functional and Presentation Currency and Rounding 
These financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars ($) which is the Company's functional currency. All values are rounded to 
the nearest thousand ($000), except when otherwise indicated. 

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements, and have been 
applied consistently by Group entities. 

3.1  Adoption of new and revised Standards and Interpretations 
Except  for  the  early  adoption  of  COVID-19  Rent  Concessions  (Amendment  to  NZ  IFRS  16),  no  new  standards  and  amendments  and 
interpretations to existing standards came into effect during the current accounting period beginning on 1 April 2020 that materially impacted 
the Group’s financial statements and require retrospective adjustment. 

3.2  New standards and amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective for the current accounting 

period beginning on 1 April 2020 

The following relevant standards and interpretations have been issued at the reporting date but are not yet effective. 

NZ IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts  
NZ IFRS 17, ‘Insurance Contracts’, will replace NZ IFRS 4, ‘Insurance Contracts’. Under the NZ IFRS 17, insurance contract liabilities will be 
calculated at the present value of future insurance cash flows with a provision for risk. The discount rate applied will reflect current interest 
rates. If the present value of future cash flows would produce a gain at the time an insurance contract is issued, the model would also require 
a  "contractual  service  margin"  to  offset  the  day  1  gain.  The  contractual  service  margin  would  be  amortised  over  the  life  of  the  insurance 
contract. There  would  also be  a  new  income statement  presentation for  insurance contracts,  including  a revised definition  of revenue  and 
additional disclosure requirements. NZ IFRS 17 will also have accommodations for certain specific types of insurance contracts. Short-duration 
insurance contracts  will be permitted to use  a simplified unearned  premium liability  model until  a claim  is incurred. For some contracts,  in 
which the cash flows are linked to underlying items, the liability value will reflect that linkage.

The effective date is annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

The Group is yet to assess the impact of NZ IFRS 17. The Group intends to adopt NZ IFRS 17 no later than the financial year beginning 1 
April 2023.

3.3  Basis of consolidation 

Subsidiaries 
Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in consolidated financial statements 
from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. 

Transactions eliminated on consolidation 
Intra-group  balances  and  transactions,  and  any  unrealised  income  and  expenses  arising  from  intra-group  transactions,  are  eliminated  in 
preparing the consolidated financial statements.

3.4  Foreign currency 
Foreign currency transactions 
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currency of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the 
transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency 
at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gains or losses on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the 
functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign 
currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency 
at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on 
historical costs are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Foreign operations   
The  assets  and liabilities  of foreign  operations, including  goodwill  and fair  value  adjustments  arising  on  acquisition,  are translated  to New 
Zealand  Dollars  at  exchange  rates  at  the  reporting  date.  The  income  and  expenses  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  to  New  Zealand 
Dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. 

Foreign  currency  differences  are  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income,  and  presented  in  the  foreign  currency  translation  reserve 
(translation reserve) in equity. 

When the settlement  of  a  monetary item receivable from  or  payable to  a foreign  operation is neither planned  nor likely in the foreseeable 
future, foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  arising from such  a  monetary  item  are considered  to form part  of  a net  investment  in  a foreign 
operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the translation reserve in equity. 

3.5  Revenue and expense recognition 
The principal sources of revenue are sales of goods, sales of service, interest income, fees, commissions, and insurance premium income. 

3.5.1 Revenue from contracts with customers 
Sales of goods 
Sales of goods comprise sales of motor vehicle and commercial goods owned by the Group. Sales of goods are recognised when the customer 
gains control of the goods. This normally occurs on full payment or approval of financing.  

related warranties associated with goods cannot be purchased separately and they serve as an assurance that the products sold comply 
upon specifications and cover the standard period established by legislation. There is no material amount of variable consideration 

Sales
with agreed
‑
under these contracts nor is there the existence of a significant financing component. 

‑

Sales of service 
Auction commission is recognised at a point in time in the accounting period in which the service is rendered. Payment for services is normally 
deducted from the proceeds from the sale. Other than those provided by legislation no warranties are provided by the Group. There is no 
material amount of variable consideration under these contracts nor is there the existence of a significant financing component. 

Other sales revenue comprises services rendered preparing the asset for sale and commission earned on the sale of third party products. 
Services  rendered  while  preparing  the  asset  for  sale  are  recognised  over  time  in  which  the  service  is  rendered,  and  a  contract  asset  is 
recognised for amounts relating to services rendered not yet invoiced. Payment for services rendered are either deducted from the proceeds 
from the sale or raised as a trade receivable. Other than those provided by legislation no warranties are provided by the Group. There are no 
rebates or volume discounts. Commissions earned on the sale of third party products is recognised at a point in time when the sale is made. 
Payment is usually received when the sale is made. Other than those provided by legislation no warranties are provided by the Group. There 
are no rebates or volume discounts.  

Collection income, which is largely fees and commission earned for collecting debt on behalf of third parties and the sale of customised terms 
of trade documents, is recognised at a point in time when the service is rendered. Payment is either deducted from the monies collected or 
raised as trade receivable. Proceeds received are recognised as a contract liability and therefore a contract liability is recognised over the 
period  in  which  the  services  are  performed  representing  the  Group’s  right  to  consideration  for  the  services  performed  to  date.  If  the 
consideration  promised  includes  a  variable  amount  for  rebates,  refunds  or  credit,  then  the  Group  estimates  the  amount  of  variable 
consideration, to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur, 
and recognises a contract liability. Other than those provided by legislation no warranties are provided by the Group. Costs to obtain contracts 
such as commissions are recognised as contract assets and incurred when the related revenue for the contract is released to profit or loss. 

Voucher income 
Voucher income is the proceeds from the sale of a voucher that on presentation entitles the holder to either load a debt for collection or 
register of a security on the Personal Property Securities Register (‘PPSR’). Voucher income is recognised, at a point in time, when the 
voucher is redeemed and the debtor’s information is loaded into the collection system or a security is registered on the PPSR. Payment is 
normally received when the voucher is sold, and proceeds received from voucher sales are initially recognised as a contract liability. For 
those vouchers that are unredeemed, voucher income is recognised after a period of time based on historical non-redemption patterns. 
Estimates are readjusted as necessary based on movements in the actual non-redemption patterns. Other than those provided by 
legislation no warranties are provided by the Group. There is no material amount of variable consideration under these contracts nor is there 
the existence of a significant financing component. Costs to obtain contracts such as commissions are recognised as contract assets and 
incurred when the related revenue for the contract is released to profit or loss. 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2021

3.5.2 Financial instruments 
Interest income and expense 
Interest income and expense is recognised in the profit or loss using the effective interest method. 

The effective interest method calculates the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and allocates the interest income or interest 
expense over the relevant period. The calculation includes all fees paid or received and directly related transaction costs that are an integral 
part of the effective interest rate. The interest income or expense is allocated over the life of the instrument and is measured for inclusion in 
profit and loss by applying the effective interest rate to the instruments amortised cost. 

Lending and funding - fees and commissions 
Lending fee income (such as booking and establishment fees) that is integral to the effective yield of a loan held at amortised cost is capitalised 
as part of the amortised cost and deferred over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Lending fees not directly related to the 
origination of a loan (account maintenance fee) are recognised over the period of service. 

Incremental  and directly  attributable costs (such  as commissions)  associated  with the  origination  of  a financial  asset (such  as  loans)  and 
financial liabilities (such as borrowings) are capitalised as part of the amortised cost and deferred over the life of the financial instrument using 
the effective interest method. 

3.5.3 Insurance contracts 
Premium income and acquisition costs 
Recurring premiums on life insurance contracts are recognised as revenue when payable by the policyholder. Where policies provide for the 
payment of amounts of premiums on specific due dates, such premiums are recognised as revenue when due. Unpaid premiums are only 
recognised as revenue during the days of grace and are not recognised where policies are deemed to have lapsed at reporting date. 

General insurance premiums comprise the total premiums payable for the whole period of cover provided by contracts entered into during the 
reporting period and are recognised on the date on which the policy commences. Premiums include any adjustments arising in the reporting 
period for premium receivables written in respect of business written in prior accounting periods. Premiums collected by intermediaries, but 
not yet received, are assessed based on known sales and are included in written premium. 

Unearned  premiums  are  those  proportion  of  premiums  written  in  a  year  that  relate  to  periods  of  risk  after  the  reporting  date.  Unearned 
premiums are calculated on a daily pro rata basis. The proportion attributable to subsequent periods is deferred as a provision for unearned 
premiums.  

Under life investment contracts deposits are received from policyholders which are then invested on behalf of the policyholders and recognised 
as Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. No premium income is recognised as revenue. Fees deducted from members' accounts 
are accounted for as fee income. 

Those direct and indirect costs incurred during the financial period arising from the acquiring or renewing of insurance contracts are deferred 
to the extent that these costs are recoverable out of future premiums from insurance contracts. All other acquisitions costs are recognised as 
an expense when incurred. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the deferred acquisitions cost asset (DAC) for life insurance contracts is amortised over the expected life of 
the contracts. DAC for general insurance contracts is amortised over the period in which the revenues are earned. 

An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. When the recoverable 
amount is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. DACs are also considered in the liability adequacy 
test for each reporting period. 

DACs are derecognised when the related contracts are either settled or disposed of. 

Claims expense 
Claims expenses represent claim payments adjusted for the movement in the outstanding claims liability. 

General insurance claims expenses are recognised when claims are notified with the exception of claims incurred but not reported for which 
a provision is estimated. Life insurance contract claims are recognised when a liability has been established. Claims under life investment 
contracts represent withdrawals of investment deposits and are recognised as a reduction in the life investment contract liabilities. 

3.5.4 Government grants 
Government grants are not recognised as income until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching 
to them  and that the  grants  will be received. Government grants  are recognised  in profit  or  loss  on  a systematic basis  over the periods in 
which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. 

3.5.5 Other 
Other income 
Dividend income is recorded in the profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividend is established.  

Other expense recognition 
All other expenses are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 

3.6  Financial instruments 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2021

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or 
issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added 
to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly 
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or 
loss. 

Financial assets 
All regular  way purchases  or sales  of financial  assets  are  recognised  and derecognised  on  a trade  date basis. Regular  way  purchases  or 
sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention 
in the marketplace. 

All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification 
of the financial assets. 

Classification of financial assets 
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost: 
• 

the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; 
and 
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest 
on the principal amount outstanding. 

• 

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI): 
• 
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the 
financial assets; and 
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest 
on the principal amount outstanding. 

• 

By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). 

Despite the foregoing, the Group may make the following irrevocable election/designation at initial recognition of a financial asset: 
• 

the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other comprehensive income if 
certain criteria are met; and 
the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that meets the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing 
so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. 

• 

(i) Amortised cost and effective interest method 
The  effective  interest  method  is  a method  of calculating the  amortised cost  of  a financial  asset  and  of  allocating interest  income  over  the 
relevant period. 

For  financial  assets  other  than  purchased  or  originated  credit
impaired  on  initial 
recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or 
received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit 
losses, through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the financial 
asset on initial recognition. For purchased or originated credit
adjusted effective interest rate is calculated 
by  discounting  the  estimated  future  cash  flows,  including  expected  credit  losses,  to  the  amortised  cost  of  the  debt  instrument  on  initial 
recognition.

The  amortised  cost  of  a  financial  asset  is  the  amount  at  which  the  financial  asset  is  measured  at  initial  recognition  minus  the  principal 
repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity 
amount,  adjusted for  any  expected credit losses. The  gross carrying  amount  of  a financial  asset is the  amortised cost  of  a financial  asset 
before adjusting for any expected credit losses.

Financial  assets  measured  at  amortised  cost  include  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  trade  receivables,  finance  receivables,  reverse  annuity 
mortgages and other receivables. 

(ii) Financial assets at FVTPL 
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. Specifically: 
• 

Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the Group designates an equity investment that is neither held for 
trading nor a contingent consideration arising from a business combination as at FVTOCI on initial recognition. 
Financial  assets  that  do not  meet the  amortised cost criteria  or the  FVTOCI criteria  are classified  as  at FVTPL. In  addition, financial 
assets that meet either the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such 

• 

40

designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (so called ‘accounting mismatch’) that would 
arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases. The Group has not designated 
any financial assets as at FVTPL. 

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in 
profit or loss to the extent they are not part of a designated hedging relationship (see hedge accounting policy). Fair value is determined in 
the manner described in note 5.5. 

Financial assets measured at FVTPL include equity securities, unitised funds, fixed interest securities and term deposits. 

(iii) Finance assets at FVTOCI 
Equity securities which are not held for trading, and which the Group has irrevocably elected at initial recognition to recognise in this category. 
These are strategic investments and the Group considers this classification to be more relevant. 

On disposal of these equity securities, any related balance within the FVTOCI reserve is reclassified to retained earnings. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and contract assets. 
The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective 
financial instrument. 

The  Group  recognises  lifetime  ECL  for  trade  receivables  and  contract  assets.  The  expected  credit  losses  on  these  financial  assets  are 
estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, 
general  economic  conditions  and  an  assessment  of  both  the  current  as  well  as  the  forecast  direction  of  conditions  at  the  reporting  date, 
including time value of money where appropriate. 

For all other financial instruments, the Group recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial 
recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures 
the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12

month ECL. 

Lifetime  ECL  represents  the  expected  credit  losses  that  will  result  from  all  possible  default  events  over  the  expected  life  of  a  financial

instrument that  are possible  within 12 months  after the  reporting  date. Homogeneous  loans  are  assessed  on  a collective  basis (collective 
impairment provision) and non-homogeneous loans are assessed individually (specific impairment provision).  

‑

‑

(i) Significant increase in credit risk 
In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk 
of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the date 
of  initial recognition. In making this  assessment, the Group considers both  quantitative  and qualitative  information that  is reasonable  and 
supportable, including historical experience and forward

looking information that is available without undue cost or effort such as: 

• 
• 

actual or expected changes in economic indicators (i.e. change in employment rates); and  
‑
for non-homogeneous loans significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the loan or changes in the operating results 
of the borrower. 

The  nature  of  the  Group’s  finance  receivables  (second  tier  retail  and  commercial  lending)  means  there  is  little  or  no  updated  credit  risk 
information that is routinely obtained and monitored on an individual instrument until a customer breaches the contractual terms. 

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly 
since  initial  recognition  when  contractual  payments  are  more  than  30  days  past  due,  unless  the  Group  has  reasonable  and  supportable 
information that demonstrates otherwise. 

The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and 
revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes 
past due. 

(ii) Definition of default 
The Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and 
supportable information to demonstrate that another default criteria is more appropriate.

(iv) Write
The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the borrower is in severe financial difficulty and there is no 
realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the borrower has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial 
assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where 
appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.

for the year ended 31 March 2021

v) Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses 
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there 
is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted 
by forward

looking information as described above. 

As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date. No further 
advances are allowed against financial assets in default. 

‑

For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in 
accordance  with the contract  and  all  the cash flows,  after collection/realisation costs, that the Group  expects to receive,  discounted  at the 
original effective interest rate.  

If the Group has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, 
but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Group measures the loss allowance at 
an amount equal to 12

month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets for which simplified approach was used. 

The Group recognises  an impairment gains  or losses in profit  or  loss for  all financial instruments  with  a corresponding  adjustment  to their 
carrying amount through a loss allowance account. 

‑

Derecognition of financial assets 
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the 
financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest 
in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership 
of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the 
proceeds received. 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the 
relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid 
or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected 
life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 
The Group derecognises financial  liabilities  when,  and  only  when, the Group’s  obligations  are discharged, cancelled  or  have  expired. The 
difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit 
or loss. 

When the Group exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange 
is  accounted  for  as  an  extinguishment  of  the  original  financial  liability  and  the  recognition  of  a  new  financial  liability.  Similarly,  the  Group 
accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the 
recognition of a new liability. It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the 
new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 percent different 
from  the  discounted  present  value  of  the  remaining  cash  flows  of  the  original  financial  liability.  If  the  modification  is  not  substantial,  the 
difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after modification 
should be recognised in profit or loss as the modification gain or loss within other gains and losses. 

Derivative financial instruments 
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign 
exchange forward contracts, and interest rate swaps. 

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair 
value  at  each reporting  date. The resulting gain  or  loss is recognised in  profit  or  loss immediately  unless the derivative is designated  and 
effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. 

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the 
consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. 

A derivative  with  a  positive fair  value is recognised  as  a financial  asset  whereas  a derivative  with  a  negative fair  value is recognised  as a 
financial liability. Derivatives are not offset in the financial statements unless the Group has both legal right and intention to offset.  

Financial liabilities 
All  financial  liabilities  are  measured  subsequently  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method  or  at  FVTPL.  However,  financial 
liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies 
are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below. 

Financial liabilities at FVTPL 
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, 
(ii) held for trading or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL. 

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if: 
• 
• 

it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or 
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual 
pattern of short
it is a derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument.

• 

‑

‑

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination may be 
designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if: 
• 
• 

such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or 
the financial liability forms part  of  a group  of financial  assets  or financial liabilities  or both,  which is  managed  and its performance  is 
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information 
about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or 
it  forms  part  of  a  contract  containing  one  or  more  embedded  derivatives,  and  IFRS  9  permits  the  entire  combined  contract  to  be 
designated as at FVTPL. 

• 

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss 
to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship (see Hedge accounting policy).  

However,  for  financial  liabilities  that  are  designated  as  at  FVTPL,  the  amount  of  change  in  the  fair  value  of  the  financial  liability  that  is 
attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognised in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of 
changes  in the  liability’s credit  risk in  other comprehensive  income  would create  or  enlarge  an  accounting mismatch in profit  or  loss. The 
remaining amount of change in the fair value of liability is recognised in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s 
credit risk that are recognised in other comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss; instead, they are transferred 
to retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial liability. 

Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 5.5. 

Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL include contingent consideration. 

A derivative is presented as a non
and it is not expected to be realised or settled within 12 months. Other derivatives are presented as current assets or current liabilities.

Hedge accounting 
The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency and interest rate risk in cash flow hedges.  

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along 
with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge 
and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged 
item attributable to the hedged risk, which is when the hedging relationships meet all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements: 
• 
• 
• 

there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; 
the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship; and 
the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Group actually 
hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. 

If a hedging relationship ceases to meet the hedge effectiveness requirement relating to the hedge ratio but the risk management objective 
for that designated hedging relationship remains the same, the Group adjusts the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship (i.e. rebalances the 
hedge) so that it meets the qualifying criteria again. 

Cash flow hedges 
Hedge effectiveness is determined using the critical terms method (‘CTM’). Under the CTM, the critical terms of the derivative instruments 
must  match  or  be closely  aligned  with the critical terms  of the  hedged  item. Hedge  ineffectiveness is  measured by using the  hypothetical 
derivative method. This method compares the hedging instrument to a hypothetical derivative (in which the fair value is determined by the 
credit-risk free  benchmark rate)  and the  ineffective  portion is  measured  by  the  extent to  which the cumulative  change in fair  value  of  the 
hedging instrument exceeds the change in fair value of the hypothetical derivative (in absolute terms). 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as 
cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve, limited to 
the  cumulative  change  in  fair  value  of  the  hedged  item  from  inception  of  the  hedge.  The  gain  or  loss  relating  to  the  ineffective  portion  is 
recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when 
the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognised hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results 
financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income 
in the recognition of a non
and  accumulated  in  equity  are  removed  from  equity  and  included  in  the  initial  measurement  of  the  cost  of  the  non
financial  asset  or 
financial liability. This transfer does not affect other comprehensive income. Furthermore, if the Group expects that some or all of the loss 
non
accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve will not be recovered in the future, that amount is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.

hedge  reserve  at  that  time  remains  in  equity  and  is  reclassified  to  profit  or  loss  when  the  forecast  transaction  occurs.  When  a  forecast 
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in cash flow hedge reserve is reclassified immediately to profit or 
loss. 

3.7  Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities 
A lease is a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.  
The Group leases various offices, warehouses, retail stores and equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 3 to 8 
years but may have extension options as described below. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of 
different  terms  and  conditions.  The  lease  agreements  do  not  impose  any  covenants,  but  leased  assets  may  not  be  used  as  security  for 
borrowing purposes. 

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the 
Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease 
period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is 
depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis consistent with the estimated consumption of 
the economic benefits embodied in the underlying asset. 

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the 
following lease payments: 
• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; 
• variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate; 
• amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; 
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and 
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option. 

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental 
borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in 
a  similar  economic  environment  with  similar  terms  and  conditions.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  lease  liabilities  are  measured  at  the 
present value of the remaining lease payments (the lease payments that are unpaid at the reporting date). Lease liabilities are remeasured to 
reflect changes to lease terms, changes to lease payments and any lease modifications not accounted for as separate leases. 

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: 
• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; 
• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;  
• any initial direct costs; and 
• restoration costs.   

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease assets are measured at cost (adjusted for any remeasurement of the associated lease liability), less 
accumulated  depreciation  and  any  accumulated  impairment  loss.  Right-of-use  assets  are  assessed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or 
circumstances arise that indicate the asset may be impaired. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount 
if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount 

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

The Group has applied the practical expedient for all COVID-19 rent concessions received during the reporting period 

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

A deferred tax asset is raised for the tax impact of the changes in recognised lease related assets and liabilities.  

In the Statement of cash flows, the Group has presented: 
• 

Short-term lease payments, payments for leases of low-value assets and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of 
the lease liability as part of operating activities; 
Cash paid for the interest portion of a lease liability as either operating activities or financing activities, as permitted by NZ IAS 7 Statement 
of Cash Flows (the Group has opted to include interest paid as part of operating activities, consistent with its presentation of interest paid 
on financial liabilities); and 
Cash payments for the principal portion for a lease liability, as part of financing activities.

Insurance contracts 

3.8 
Insurance contracts are those contracts that transfer significant insurance risk and are accounted for in accordance with the requirements of 
NZ IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. The Group issues the following insurance contracts: 
• 

Long-term insurance contracts with fixed and guaranteed terms, these contracts insure events associated with human life (for example, 
death) over a long duration; 
Temporary life insurance contracts covering death disablement, disability and redundancy risks; and 
Short term motor vehicle contracts covering comprehensive, third party and mechanical breakdown risks. 

• 
•

The  Group  has  determined  that  all  assets  of  the  Group’s  subsidiary,  DPL  Insurance  Limited,  are  assets  backing  policy  liabilities  and  are 
managed and reported in accordance with a mandate approved by the DPL Insurance Limited’s Board. 

The liability for life  insurance contracts  is determined  in  accordance with  Appendix C  of NZ IFRS  4 Insurance Contracts  and Professional 
Standard  No  20  of  the  New  Zealand  Society  of  Actuaries.  In  terms  of  these  standards,  the  liability  is  determined  using  the  methodology 
referred to as Margin on Service (MoS). Under MoS the excess premium received over claims and expenses, 'the profit margin', is recognised 
over the  life  of  the contract in  a  manner that  reflects the  pattern  of  risk  accepted from the policyholder  'the service'. Longer-term lines  of 
business (annuities, funeral plan) are valued using the projection method, and shorter-term life and longer-term life contracts written on yearly 
renewable premiums, are valued using the accumulation method, as provided for in NZ IFRS 4. 

General insurance contract liabilities include claims provision and the provision for unearned premium. The outstanding claims provision is 
based on the estimated ultimate cost of all claims incurred but not settled at the reporting date, whether reported or not, together with related 
claims handling cost and a reduction for the expected value of salvage and other recoveries. Delays can be experienced in the notification 
and settlement of claims, therefore the ultimate cost of these cannot be known at reporting date and are estimated based on past experience. 
The liability is not discounted for the time value of money and is derecognised when the obligation to pay the claim expires, is discharged or 
is cancelled. 

The provision for unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums received or receivable that relates to risks that have not yet expired 
at the reporting date. The provision is recognised when contracts are entered into and premiums are charged, and is recognised as premium 
income over the term of the contract in accordance with the pattern of insurance service provided under the contract. 

 Liability adequacy testing is performed in terms of NZ IFRS 4 in order to test the adequacy of all insurance liabilities recorded in the statement 
of financial position, net of deferred acquisition costs. Liability adequacy testing is performed at a portfolio level of contracts that are subject 
to broadly similar risks and are managed together as a single portfolio. 

3.9  Life investment contracts 
Life investment contracts are those contracts with minimal insurance risk and are accounted for in accordance with NZ IFRS 15 'Revenue 
from Contracts with Customers' (refer note 3.5.1) and NZ IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' (refer note 3.5.2). The life investment contacts are 
unit-linked and fair value of a unit linked contract is determined using the current unit values that reflect the fair value of the financial assets 
backing the contract, multiplied by the number of units attributable to the contract holder. 

3.10 Inventories 
Inventories comprise primarily motor vehicles held for sale and are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost comprises purchase 
price, shipping cost, compliance cost and other sundry related costs. Estimated selling prices are based upon recent observed vehicle sales 
prices for comparable vehicles. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs 
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 

3.11 Investment property 
Investment property is held for capital appreciation and comprises land that was transferred from finance receivables through the exercise of 
the Group’s security interest in a finance receivable that was in default.  

Investment property is initially recognised at fair value on date of transfer or purchase and subsequently carried at fair value. The fair value of 
investment properties is determined by a qualified independent external valuer (refer note 21). 

Any gains or losses arising from a change in fair value of the investment property is recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent expenditure is 
charged to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group 
and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the period in 
which they are incurred. 

3.12 Property, plant and equipment 
Property,  plant  and  equipment  are recognised  in the statement  of financial position  at cost less  accumulated depreciation  and impairment 
losses. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated on all other property, plant and equipment on a diminishing value or straight-line 
basis to allocate the costs, net of any residual amounts, over their useful lives.

3.13 Intangible assets 
Intangible assets comprise goodwill, acquired separable corporate brands, acquired customer relationships and computer software. Goodwill 
and corporate brands are indefinite life intangibles subject to annual impairment testing. 

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

Corporate brands and customer relationships acquired as part of a business combination are capitalised separately from goodwill as intangible 
assets if their  value can  be  measured reliably  on  initial recognition  and  it  is  probable  that the  expected future  economic  benefits that  are 
attributable to the asset will flow to the Group. 

Corporate  relationship  assets  are  amortised  on  the  straight  line  basis  over  the  expected  life  (2  –  10  years)  of  the  relationship  and  are 
recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. 

Computer software is recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. 

Direct costs associated with the purchase and installation of software licences and the development of software for internal use are capitalised 
where project success is probable and the capitalisation criteria is met. Cost associated with planning and evaluating computer software and 
maintaining a system after implementation are expensed. Computer software costs are amortised on a diminishing value basis (rate of 50%) 
or on a straight-line basis (one to five years). 

3.14 Taxation 
Income tax for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in the profit 
or loss,  except  when they relate to  items that  are recognised  outside profit  or loss (whether  in  other comprehensive  income  or  directly  in 
equity), in which case the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss. 

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at balance date 
after taking advantage of all allowable deductions under current taxation legislation and any adjustment to tax liabilities in respect of previous 
years. 

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of 
realisation or settlement of the amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted as at balance date. 

Deferred taxation assets arising from temporary differences or income tax losses, are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that a 
future taxable profit will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred taxation assets are reduced to the extent that it is no 
longer probable that the related tax asset will be realised. Any reduction is recognised in profit or loss. 

3.15 Impairment of non-financial assets 
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment 
annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. 

Share based payments 
The cost of options issued to employees under the Group’s share option plan is measured by reference to fair value of the options at the date 
on which they are granted. Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair 
value, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that 
will ultimately vest. Market conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value.  

The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised over the vesting period. If the service condition is not met during the vesting period, the 
expense is revised to reflect the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. Where awards include market 
and non-vesting conditions, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting conditions is satisfied, 
provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.  

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (refer note 9). 

When options are exercised or cancelled, the option reserve relating to the options exercised or cancelled is reclassified to share capital. 

Superannuation plans  
The  Group  pays  contributions  to  superannuation  plans,  such  as  Kiwisaver.  The  Group  has  no  further  payment  obligations  once  the 
contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions 
are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. 

3.18 Statement of cash flows 
The statement of cash flows has been prepared using the direct approach modified by netting certain cash flows in order to provide more 
meaningful disclosure to better reflect the activities of the Group's customers or the party providing funding to the Group than those of the 
Group. These include reverse annuity mortgages, finance receivables and borrowings. 

3.19 Comparatives 
Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and represented for consistency with current year.  

4.  USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS 
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS, the Board and management are required to make judgements, estimates 
and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ 
from those estimates. 

Estimates  and  assumptions  are continually  evaluated  and  are  based  on historical  experience  and  other factors, including  expectations  of 
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  

Other  assets  are  tested  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be 
recoverable.  The  Group  conducts  an  annual  internal  review  of  asset  values,  which  is  used  as  a  source  of  information  to  assess  for  any 
indicators  of  impairment.  External  factors,  such  as  changes  in  expected  future  processes,  technology  and  economic  conditions,  are  also 
monitored for indicators of impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated. 

COVID-19 
It is not possible to estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic’s short and long-term effects. As at the date of the signing of these 
consolidated financial statements, all reasonably known and available information with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been taken 
into consideration and all reasonably determinable adjustments have been made in preparing these consolidated financial statements. 

An  impairment  loss is recognised for the  amount  by  which the  asset’s carrying  amount  exceeds its recoverable  amount. The recoverable 
amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is determined by estimating future cash flows 
from the use and ultimate disposal of the asset and discounting these to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current 
market rates and the risks specific to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which 
there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Impairment losses directly reduce the carrying amount of assets and are 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 

3.16 Managed funds  
DPL Insurance Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, has saving plans, which are not open to new members, with assets managed by a third 
party investment manager. The assets and liabilities of these funds are included in the financial statements. 

3.17 Employee benefits 
Wages, salaries and annual leave  
Liabilities for wages, salaries and annual leave are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date. They are measured 
at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Long service leave 
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured at the present value of expected future 
payments  to  be  made  in  respect  of  services  provided  by  employees  up  to  the  reporting  date  using  the  projected  unit  credit  method. 
Consideration is given to future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments 
are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

Profit sharing and bonus plans  
The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit 
attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises an accrual where contractually obliged or where 
there is a practice that has created a constructive obligation. 

While  actual  results  achieved  in  the  31  March  2021  financial  statements  have  been  better  than  expected  in  the  COVID-19  environment, 
residual  market  uncertainty  regarding  the  economic  impact  of  the  pandemic  remains.  Consequently,  Management  have  concluded  that 
retaining COVID-19 overlay provisions relating to the impairment provisions for inventory and loans receivables is appropriate. 

The principal areas of judgement in preparing these financial statements are set out below. 

Inventories - impairment provision 
Inventories comprise  primarily  motor  vehicles  held for sale  and  are  stated  at the lower  of cost  or net realisable  value. Cost comprises the 
purchase price, shipping cost, compliance cost and other sundry related costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary 
course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Estimated selling prices are 
based upon recent observed vehicle sales prices for comparable vehicles. 

The COVID-19  overlay  provision  of $0.5m included  in the  inventories impairment  provision  as  at 31 March  2020  has  been retained  in  the 
provision as at 31 March 2021. 

Provision for impairment on loan receivables 
Significant increase in credit risk 
As explained in note 3.6, ECL are measured as an allowance equal to 12 month ECL for performing assets, or lifetime ECL for doubtful or in 
default  assets. An  asset moves to  doubtful  when its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Group presumes a 
significant increase in credit risk subsequent to initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days overdue. In assessing 
whether  the  credit  risk  of  an  asset  has  significantly  increased  the  Group  takes  into  account  qualitative  and  quantitative  reasonable  and 
supportable forward looking information. 

Calculation of loss allowance 
When measuring ECL the Group has used reasonable and supportable forward looking information, which is based on estimates for the future 
movement of different economic drivers (i.e. unemployment rates and government stimulus) and how these drivers will affect each other.  

Loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those 
that the Group would expect to receive, taking into account cash flows from collateral and integral credit enhancements.

Probability of default constitutes a key input in measuring ECL. Probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given 
time horizon, the calculation of which includes historical data, assumptions and expectations of future conditions. 

The COVID-19 overlay provision of $1.0m included in the finance receivables expected credit loss provision as at 31 March 2020 has been 
increased to $1.4m as at 31 March 2021. 

Impairment of goodwill 
The carrying value of goodwill is assessed at least annually to ensure that it is not impaired. Performing this assessment generally requires 
management  to  estimate  future  cash  flows  to  be  generated  by  the  cash-generating  unit,  which  entails  making  judgements,  including  the 
expected rate of growth of revenues, margins expected to be achieved and the appropriate discount rate to apply when valuing future cash 
flows (refer note 22). A sensitivity analysis of the recoverable amounts of the CGU’s is disclosed in note 22. 

When  estimating  future  cash  flows,  Management  considered  the  impact  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  on  the  Group’s  performance  and 
judgements, including the forecasting of the year-on-year movements in the operating assets of individual CGUs such as: 
• 
• 
• 

for the Finance and Auto Retail CGUs, the movement in their portfolios of finance receivables and related movement in debt financing; 
for the Auto Retail CGU, the movement in inventory levels, trade payables and related movement in trade financing; and 
for  the  DPL  Insurance  CGU,  the  movement  in  deferred  insurance  contract  premiums  and  acquisition  costs,  and  solvency  capital 
requirements. 

Liabilities arising from claims made under insurance contracts 
Liabilities arising from claims made under insurance contracts are estimated based on the terms of cover provided under an insurance contract. 

The estimation of the ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts is based on a number of actuarial techniques that 
analyse experience, trends and other relevant factors. The estimate process involves using Group specific data, relevant industry data and 
general economic data, including but not limited to, claim frequencies, average claim sizes and historical trends (refer note 35). 

Impairment of corporate brands 
The carrying values of brands are assessed at least annually to ensure that it is not impaired. Performing this assessment generally requires 
management  to  estimate  future  cash  flows  to  be  generated  by  the  related  investment  or  a  cash-generating  unit,  which  entails  making 
judgements, including the expected rate of growth of revenues, margins expected to be achieved and the appropriate discount rate to apply 
when valuing future cash flows (refer note 22). 

Unredeemed voucher liabilities 
The Group's  estimate  of the unredeemed  voucher liability is based  on  historic redemption patterns. Changes in the redemption  pattern  of 
unredeemed vouchers could affect the reported value of this liability. At year end, the Group readjusted the unredeemed prepaid collection 
voucher liability write off methodology based on movements in the actual redemption patterns to reflect the continued decline in the redemption 
of  historically  issued  prepaid  collection  vouchers.  The  change  in  accounting  estimate  resulted  in  a  $0.1m  (2020:  $0.1m)  decrease  in  the 
unredeemed voucher liability (note 24). 

Determining lease term 
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension 
option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the 
lease is reasonably certain to be exercised. This assessment is reviewed if a significant event of significant change in circumstances occurs 
which  affects  this  assessment  and  that  is  within  the  Group’s  control.  All  extension  options  have  been  assumed  for  the  calculation  of  the 
Groups’ lease liabilities. 

Valuation of investment properties 
The fair value of the investment property has been determined by an independent qualified valuer. Note 21 sets out the valuation 
methodology, key assumptions and sensitivity analysis. The fair value of the investment property is subjective and changes to the 
assumptions can have a significant impact on profit and the fair value. 

The derecognition of finance receivables 
The Group follows the guidance in NZ IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments', in transactions where substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership of a financial asset are neither retained nor transferred. The Group derecognises the transferred asset if control over that asset is 
relinquished. The rights and obligations retained in the transfer, such as servicing assets and liabilities, are recognised separately as assets 
and liabilities, as appropriate. If control over the asset is retained, the Group continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing 
involvement, which is determined by the extent to which it remains exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset. This 
determination of whether risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset are neither retained nor transferred requires significant 
judgement (refer note 3.6). Prior to derecognition, the Group assesses whether the finance receivables qualify for derecognition using the 
criteria noted above. 

Fair value measurement 
The fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined using discounted cash flow models. To the extent 
practical, models use observable data however normal volatilities require management to make estimates. Changes in assumptions about 
these factors could affect the reported fair values of financial instruments (refer note 11). 

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. A market is regarded 
as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory 
agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price 
used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1. 

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by 
using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as 
possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in 
level 2. 

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. The fair value of level 3 
instruments is determined by using valuation techniques based on a range of unobservable inputs. The Group establishes fair value by 
using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially 
the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer’s specific circumstances. Investments in 
equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably measured are 
recognised and subsequently carried at cost. 

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments in each level are detailed in notes 5.5 and 21. 

5.  RISK MANAGEMENT 
The financial condition and operating results of the Group are affected by a number of key financial and non-financial risks. Financial risks 
include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The non-financial risks include insurance risk, which is covered in note 35, and fair value risk 
relating to the Group’s Investment property (refer note 21).

5.2  Credit risk 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises 
principally from the Group's cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (excluding equities held in unitised 
funds), trade receivables, finance receivables, reverse annuity mortgages, and other receivables. 

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (excluding equities in unitised funds) are placed 
with registered banks. 

Management assesses the credit quality of trade customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. 
Individual risk limits are set based on these assessments. The use of credit limits by trade customers is regularly monitored by management. 
Sales to public customers are settled in cash, bank cheques or using major credit cards, mitigating the credit risk. 

To manage credit on finance receivables the Group performs credit evaluations on all customers requiring advances. The approval process 
considers a number of factors including: borrower’s past performance, ability to repay, amount of money to be borrowed against the security 
and the creditworthiness of the guarantor/co-borrower involved. 

The Group operates a lending policy with various levels of authority depending on the size of the loan. A lending and credit committee operates 
and overdue loans are assessed on a regular basis by this body.

Risk grades categorise  loans  according  to the  degree  of risk  of financial loss faced  and focuses management  on the  attendant risks. The 
current risk grading framework consists of four grades reflecting varying degrees of risk of default and the availability of collateral or other 
credit risk mitigation. They are as follows: 
• 
• 
• 
• 

performing – the counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any past due amounts greater than 30 days; 
doubtful – amount is > 30 days past due or there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition; 
in default - amount is > 90 days past due or evidence indicating the asset is credit impaired; and 
write-off – there is evidence indicating the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and the Group has no realistic prospect of recovery. 

The Group implements guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types for 
finance receivables are: 
• 
• 

mortgages over properties, with the maximum loan to value rate being 75%; 
mortgages over houses for reverse annuity mortgages, with a maximum loan to value ratio of 30% at inception (no new reverse annuity 
mortgages have been advanced since 2009); 
charges over vehicle stock for dealer floorplans; 
chattel paper where the Group acts as a wholesale funder; 
charges over business assets such as equipment; and 
charges over motor vehicles. 

• 
• 
• 
• 

For finance receivables secured by collateral, estimates of the value of collateral are assessed at the time of borrowing, and are not updated 
unless the receivable is being assessed for specific impairment. The allowance for impairment includes the Group's estimate of the value of 
collateral held. 

For Life investment linked contracts the investments credit risk is appropriate for each particular product and the risk is borne by the policy 
holder. There is no significant risk assumed by the Group. 

5.3  Liquidity risk  
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities as they fall due. 

The Group endeavours to maintain sufficient funds to meet its commitments based on forecasted cash flow requirements. Due to the dynamic 
nature  of  the  underlying  businesses,  flexibility  is  maintained  by  having  diverse  funding  sources  and  adequate  committed  credit  facilities. 
Management has internal control processes and contingency plans to actively manage the lending and borrowing portfolios to ensure the net 
exposure to liquidity risk is minimised. The exposure is reviewed on an on-going basis from daily procedures to monthly reporting as part of 
the Group's liquidity management process. 

The liquidity risk for cash flows payable on the life investment contracts liabilities that are unit linked contracts is managed by holding a pool 
of readily tradable investment assets (included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) and deposits on call. The liability and 
supporting assets have been excluded from the maturity analysis below because there is no contractual or expected maturity date for the life 
investment contracts  and the readily tradable investment  assets  offset  any  liquidity risk. The  liquidity risk  on  other insurance cash flows  is 
managed by holding designated percentages of insurance reserves in liquid assets such as cash and cash equivalents. 

The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities and net settled derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based 
on the remaining period at reporting date to contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the tables are the contractual and the expected 
undiscounted cash flows. Contractual and expected amounts agree, except for borrowing where expected maturity is the facility maturity date.

5.4  Market Risk 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices, will affect the Group's 
income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. 

5.4.1  Insurance business 
For the life investment policies market risk is transferred to the policy holder. The Group earns fees on investment linked policies that are 
based on the amount of assets invested and it may receive lower fees should markets fall. Asset allocation for investment linked policies is 
decided by the Policy Holder. 

In the other insurance business, market risk arises when there is a mismatch between the insurance policy liabilities and the assets backing 
those liabilities. Refer to note 35K for insurance liabilities interest rate sensitivity. The  insurance  business has no significant currency  and 
equity risk. 

5.4.2  Interest rate risk 
Interest rate risk is the risk of loss to the Group arising from adverse changes in interest rates. The Group's financing activities are exposed 
to interest rate risk in respect of its interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Changes to interest rates can impact the Group's 
financial results by affecting the interest spread earned on these assets and liabilities. 

Interest rates are managed by assessing the demand for funds, new lending, expected debt repayments and maintaining a portfolio of financial 
assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, with a sufficient spread between the Group's lending and borrowing activities. 
Exposure to interest rates is monitored by the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. 

The  interest rates  earned  on finance receivables  are fixed  over the  term  of the contract. When  approving  interest rates for individual loan 
advances,  interest rate risk is  measured in  accordance  with the  approved  lending  policy. The Group uses interest  rate swap contracts to 
convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. No exchange of principal takes place. The notional principal amount of interest 
rate  swaps  at  31  March  2021  was  $89m  (2020:  $75m)  and  weighted  average  interest  was  0.97%  (2020:  1.73%).  There  was  no  hedge 
ineffectiveness recognised in profit or loss during the period (2020: $nil). 

Turners Finance Limited borrows at fixed rates to fund finance receivables. The terms and the amounts of the finance payables are matched 
to each corresponding finance receivable, for which the lending rates are also fixed at inception, thus eliminating the cash flow interest rate 
risk on these financial instruments. 

The table below summarises the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities to interest rate risk.

5.4.3  Currency risk 
The Group is exposed to currency risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Australian Dollars (‘AUD’) and 
Japanese Yen (‘JPY’). Currency risk arises from the future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investment in 
foreign operations. 

To ensure the net exposure to EC Credit Control (Aust) Pty Ltd, which has AUD as its functional currency, is kept to an acceptable level, the 
Group has a comprehensive transfer pricing policy and converts the AUD unredeemed voucher liability (refer note 24) into a NZD liability by 
selling the AUD liability to the New Zealand entity that will be providing the relevant services to settle the liability when the voucher is redeemed. 

To limit its exposure to JPY, the Group hedges the anticipated cash flows (mainly purchased inventory) when the commitment is made. All 
projected purchases qualify as ‘highly probable’ forecast transactions for hedge accounting purposes. 

The table below summarises the Group’s financial exposure to currency risk.

5.4.4  Equity price risk 
Equity price risk is the risk that the Group's profit or loss will fluctuate as a result of changes in share prices. The Group is exposed to equity 
price risk through its investment in MTF Shares (refer note 11). A +1%/-1% movement in the MTF share price will increase/(decrease) profit 
and equity by $29k/($29k) (2020: $32k/($32k)).

Fair value insurance 
The  financial  assets  in  this  category  back  life  investment  contract  liabilities  and  are  investments  in  managed  funds.  The  fair  value  of  the 
investments in the managed funds are determined by reference to published exit prices, being the redemption price based on the market price 
quoted by the fund manager, ANZ New Zealand Investments Limited (refer note 5.4.1). 

Fair value assets - investment in equities 
The fair value of the investment in equities has been estimated by reference to recent transactions with MTF shares (refer note 5.4.4). 

Fair value liability - term deposits and fixed interest securities 
Term deposits are recognised at fair value based on the interest rate set at inception of the term deposit (refer note 5.4.2). 

Fair value - investment property 
The fair value of the investment property was determined by an independent registered valuer using the comparable sales methodology (refer 
note 21). 

This is a level 3 fair value measurement and the key output used in determining the consideration is the probable sales price. A change in 
sales price of +/- 5% would increase/(decrease) the total fair value and profit or loss by $0.3m/($0.3m). 

These financial liabilities are exposed to interest rate risk as disclosed above. 

Derivative financial instruments 
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at balance date, with the resulting value discounted 
to present value. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows based on observable 
yield curves. 

Reconciliation of recurring level 3 fair value movements:

Fair value and credit risk
Due to the short-term nature of trade receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. The maximum exposure to
credit risk from trade receivables at the reporting date is the carrying amount of trade receivables. Credit risk is concentrated predominantly in
New Zealand within the motor trade sector and private household sector, there is no concentration of credit risk on any individual customer.

The following table details the risk profile of the Group's provision matrix for finance receivables collectively assessed for impairment. As the
Group's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for
loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group's different customer base.

If the ECL rates on performing financial receivables increased/(decreased) by 1% as at 31 March 2021, the loss allowance on receivables
would be $3.1m higher/($2.2m lower) (2020: $2.7m higher/($2.3m lower)).

If the ECL rates on doubtful or in default financial receivables increased/(decreased) by 1% as at 31 March 2021, the loss allowance on

The fair values are based on cash flows discounted using a weighted average interest rate of 12.14% (2020: 13.81%).

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of finance receivables which is net of any provision for
impairment. The reported credit risk exposure does not take into account the fair value of any collateral, in event of the counterparties failing
to meet their contractual obligation.

Refer to note 5 for more information on the risk management policies of the Group.

Securitisation
The Group has a wholesale funding facility with the Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) under which it securitises finance receivables through The
Turners Marque Warehouse Trust 1 (the Trust). Under the facility, BNZ provide funding to the Trust secured by finance receivables sold to the
Trust from the finance segment. The facility is for a 416 day term that will be renewed annually. The facility is for $276m.

The Trust is a special purpose entity set up solely for the purpose of purchasing finance receivables from the finance segment with the BNZ
funding up to 92% of the purchase price with the balance funded by sub-ordinated notes from the Group. The New Zealand Guardian Trust
Company Limited has been appointed Trustee for the Trust and NZGT Security Trustee Limited as the security trustee. The Company is the
sole beneficiary.

The Group has the power over the Trust, exposure, and rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the Trust and the ability to use its
power over the Trust to affect the amount of the Group's returns from the Trust. Consequently the Group controls the Trust and has
consolidated the Trust into the Group financial statements.

The Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards relating to the finance receivables sold and therefore the finance receivables do not
qualify for derecognition and remain on the Group's consolidated statement of financial position.

During the financial year $187.4m finance receivables were sold to the Trust (2020: $149.4m). As at 31 March 2021 the carrying value of
finance receivables in the Trust was $266.8m (2020: $210.2m).

The fair value of reverse annuity mortgages is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on a current market interest rate for
similar products after making allowances for impairment.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of reverse annuity mortgages which is net of any provision for
impairment. The reported credit risk exposure does not take into account the fair value of any collateral, in event of the counterparties failing
to meet their contractual obligation.  All reverse annuity mortgages are secured by residential property in New Zealand.

Impairment testing for cash-generating units (CGU) containing brands and goodwill

The aggregate carrying amounts of brands and goodwill allocated to the cash generating units are outlined below. Goodwill primarily relates to
the cash generating unit.
growth expectations, expected future profitability and the substantial skill and expertise of
Management have assessed that there is no foreseeable limit to the period of time over which the goodwill and brand is expected to generate
net cash inflows for the Group, and as such goodwill and brand have been assessed as having an indefinite useful life.

The recoverable amount of all CGUs has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow
projections based on financial budgets approved by the Board covering at least a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the projected period are
extrapolated using the estimated long term growth rates stated below. The cash flows for the Auto retail (2020: free cash flows to equity),
Insurance and Collection services CGUs are free cash flows to the firm, while the Finance CGU is free cash flows to equity. For each of the
CGUs with goodwill and brand the key assumptions, long term growth rate and discount rate used in the value-in-use calculations are as follows:

Key assumptions:

Sales, price and operating cost assumptions where based on the Board's best estimate of the range of economic conditions the CGUs are likely
to experience during the forecast period. The forecasts for each CGU covering a period of a minimum of 5 years. Annual capital expenditure,
the expected cash costs in CGUs, was based on historical experience and planned expenditure.

The long term growth rate is the weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period and is based on the
current implied inflation rates and does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, or country or countries in
which the CGUs operate. The discount rates were established by taking into account the specific attributes and size of the CGUs.

In assessing the impairment of the goodwill and brand value in the CGUs, a sensitivity analysis for reasonably possible changes in key
assumptions was performed. This included increasing and reducing the terminal growth rate by 0.20% and 0.30% respectively (2020: +/-
0.25%) and increasing and decreasing the discount rate as follows:

  Auto retail CGU

  Insurance CGU

  Finance CGU

  Collection services CGU

These reasonably possible changes in rates did not cause any impairment in the CGUs.

Ordinary shares are fully paid with no par value. All ordinary shares have equal voting rights and share equally in dividends and surplus on
winding up. 

Capital management
The Group’s capital consists of share capital, share option reserve, translation reserve, cash flow reserve and retained earnings. The Board
seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and security
afforded by a sound capital position. The allocation of capital between its specific business operations and activities is, to a large extent, driven
by optimisation of the return on the capital allocated. The process of allocating capital to specific operations and activities is undertaken
independently of those responsible for the operation. The Group’s strategies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed
regularly by the Board of Directors.

The Group's funding covenants include minimum equity ratios. There have been no breaches of covenants. In addition to the above, the life
insurance company is required to retain equity for solvency purposes, refer note 35G.

29. SHARE OPTIONS
In July 2020, the Board approved the grant of 2,300,000 options to Senior Executives of the Group at an exercise price of $2.00 under the
Group's Share Option Plan. The grant is split into four tranches of 575,000 options with the following vesting dates; 1 June 2021, 1 June 2022, 1
June 2023 and 1 June 2024. Each tranche expires two year after the vesting date.

If a participant in the Group Share Option Plan leaves (by any means and for any reason) the employment of the Company or any applicable
subsidiary, the participant’s options which have reached their vesting date, together with any other options as may be nominated at the
discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company in extraordinary circumstances (such as the redundancy, permanent disablement or death
of a participant), may be exercised within a period of 60 days (following which they will lapse) and the participant's other Options will lapse
immediately.

The weighted average fair value of the options granted, using the Binomial Tree option pricing model, is $0.31 per option. The significant inputs
in the model were, the share price at grant date of $2.19, the exercise price of $2.00, volatility of 27.5%, an expected exercise date for all
tranches of, 80% at vesting date and 20% at expiration date and an annual risk free rate between 0.24% - 0.63%. Volatility is measured as the
standard deviation of changes in the Company's share price over a 12 month period. The share based payment for the current financial year is
$255,000 (2020: $nil).

35.  Insurance related disclosures 

A.  Actuarial policies and the methods 
The actuarial report on insurance contract liabilities and prudential reserves for the current reporting period was prepared as at 31 March 2021 
by Peter Davies, a Fellow of the New Zealand Society of Actuaries.   

Life insurance contract liabilities 
The  value  of  life  insurance contract  liabilities has been  determined in  accordance  with  Professional  Standard No.  20  of the New Zealand 
Society of Actuaries.  After making appropriate checks, the actuary was satisfied as to the accuracy of the data from which the amount of 
policy liabilities has been determined. 

The key assumptions used in determining policy liabilities are as follows: 

a) Discount Rates 

Discount rates used to determine the life insurance contract liabilities are based on an appropriate risk-free rate of return, taking account of 
the term of the insurance contracts.   

Tax was deducted at the rate of 28% on investment earnings net of investment expenses (2020: 28%).  The net discount rates assumed were 
as follows: 

Whole of Life and Endowment Policies (including Funeral Plan)* 
Quick Cover term life plan* 
Term Insurance Policies 
Caring Plan Funeral Benefit Policies 
Annuity Policies 
Consumer Credit and Key Person Loan Protection

* These rates are provided by Treasury as at 31 January, and are then adjusted to 31 March based on the movement in swap rates, as quoted 
by the Reserve Bank, between January and March. Illustrative forward rates for the respective valuations are as follows: 

Cash-flows in year 10: 

March 2020: 
March 2021: 

1.11% per annum net of tax 
1.98% per annum net of tax 

b) Inflation Rates 
In determining the future expected rate of return, general inflation was assumed to continue into the future at 2.0% per annum (2020: 2.0%).  

c) Mortality Rates 
Rates of mortality were assumed as follows: 

For underwritten whole of life, endowment and term insurance policies: NZ97 (2020: NZ97). 

For guaranteed issue regular premium funeral plans: NZ97 (DPL plans), NZ04 (ex-Greenwich plans) multiplied by a factor to reflect higher 
mortality at younger ages, and the impact of guaranteed issue anti-selection (DPL - no change from 2020). 

QuickCover plans - NZ04 with additional loadings reflecting the impact of guaranteed issue anti-selection. 

For annuities the assumed mortality table is 90% of the NZ12-14 population tables.  For the Cook Islands Annuity Pension Plan the assumed 
mortality table is the PA(90) table without adjustment (2020: no change). 

d) Profit Carriers 
The policies were divided into major product groups with profit carriers as follows: 

Major Product Groups 
Participating Whole of Life and Endowment Policies 
Non Participating Whole of Life and Endowment Policies 
Lump Sum Funeral Benefit Policies (Caring Plan) 
Term Insurance Policies 
Funeral Plan Policies (Regular premium guaranteed issue)  
Quick Cover term life plan 
Annuities 
Consumer Credit / Lifestyle

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2021

Funeral plans 
Term life plans (for loss recognition) 
Consumer credit plans (for loss recognition): 
Annuity plans 

$9.38 per policy per annum (2020: $9.20) 
$9.38 per policy per annum (2020: $9.20) 
$9.38 per policy per annum (2020: $9.20) 

                    $155 per policy per annum (2020: $152) 

Investment management expenses were assumed to be 1.0% (2020: 1.0%) of policy liabilities. 

f) Inflation and Automatic Indexation of Benefits 
Maintenance expenses are assumed to increase 2.0% per annum (2020: 2.0%).  Investment management expenses are assumed to remain 
a constant percentage of funds under management. 

g) Taxation 
The assumed future tax rates reflect the corporate tax rate applying in New Zealand with effect from 1 April 2011.  The calculations have been 
carried out on the basis of current life insurance income tax legislation. 

h) Rates of Discontinuance 
Rates of discontinuance are assumed to be 5.0% for whole of life, endowment and term insurance business (2020: 5.0%), and nil for annuity 
pension plan business (2020: nil). 
For the DPL Funeral plan the rates of discontinuance are based on company experience, beginning at 15% in year 1 and reducing ultimately 
to 3% per annum (2020: 15% reducing to 8%). 
For the Funeral plan (ex Greenwich) product the rates of discontinuance are based on the pricing assumption for this product, beginning at 
20% in year 1, and reducing ultimately to 3% per annum (2020: 40% to 3%). 
For Quick Cover the rates of discontinuance are based on the pricing assumption for this product, beginning at 15% in year 1, and reducing 
ultimately to 10% per annum (2020: 20% reducing to 10%). 

i) Surrender Values 
The Company's current basis of calculating surrender values is assumed to continue in the future. 

j) Rates of Future Supportable Participating Benefits 
Rates  of  bonus  supported  by  the  participating  fund  are  simple  annual  bonuses  of  $0.00  (2020:  $0.00)  per  $1,000  of  sum  assured  on 
endowment policies. 

k) Impact of changes in assumptions 
The impact of the change in the discount rate is a reduction in policy liabilities of $223,000 (2020: increase of $331,000). 
The policy liabilities are not affected by the revised expense assumptions (2020: no change). 

l) Crediting Policy Adopted for Future Supportable Participating Benefits 
For participating business, the Company's policy is to distribute profits arising such that over long periods the returns to policy holders are 
commensurate with the investment returns achieved on relevant assets, together with other sources of profit arising from this business.  In 
applying  the  policyholders'  share  of  distributions  to  provide  bonuses,  consideration  is  given  to  achieving  equity  between  generations  of 
policyholders  and  equity  between the  various classes  and sizes  of  policies  in force.   Assumed future bonus rates  included in policyholder 
liabilities were set such that the present value of policyholder liabilities, allowing for the shareholders' right to participate in distributions, equals 
the value of assets supporting the business.  The supportable future bonus rate on this basis is zero. 

Non-life insurance liabilities 
The value of non-life outstanding claims and the Liability Adequacy Test of the non-life business, have been carried out in accordance with 
Professional Standard  no.  30.   After  making  appropriate checks, the  actuary  was satisfied  as to  the  accuracy  of the data from  which the 
amount of policy liabilities has been determined. 

B.  Financial strength rating 
The  Insurance  (Prudential  Supervision)  Act  2010  requires  all  licensed  insurers  to  have  a  current  Financial  Strength  Rating,  given  by  an 
approved rating entity. DPL Insurance Limited has been issued a Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and an Issuer Credit Rating of bbb 
(Good), with the outlook assigned to both ratings as 'Stable' by A.M. Best. The rating was issued by A.M. Best on 14 August 2020. 

The A.M Best company rating scale is 

A++, A+ Superior

The disclosure of the components of operating profit after tax expense are required to be separated between policyholders’ and shareholders’
interests.  We have included only one column, as policyholder profits arise only in respect of a small number of participating policies, and the
profits arising on these policies over the year were effectively zero.  Accordingly all of the profits earned over the year are shareholder profits.

It is not currently possible to identify all experience variances separately for life investment contracts. The difference between actual and
assumed experience for life insurance contracts therefore includes some variances relating to life investment contracts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2021

The benefits offered under the Group's unit-linked investment contracts are based on the returns of selected equities and debt securities. This
investment mix is unique, and it cannot be associated to an individual benchmark index with a sufficiently high correlation. All financial liabilities at
fair value through profit and loss are designated by the Group to be in this measurement category. The liabilities originated from unit-linked
contracts are measured with reference to their respective underlying assets of these contracts. Changes in the credit risk of the underlying assets
do not impact the measurement of the unit-linked liabilities. The maturity value of these financial liabilities is determined by the fair value of the
linked assets, at maturity date.

Policyholder liabilities comprise

Annuities
Endowment
Whole of life, provision for bonus and future margins
Consumer Credit Protection & key person loan protection 
Accidental death/redundancy
Term Life
General
General claims provisions
Saving plans
Deferred acquisition costs - life

The above information is disclosed prior to the elimination of any related party transactions or balances as the insurance contract disclosures 
relate to DPL Insurance Limited. 

J.  Managed Funds and other Fiduciary Activities 
DPL Insurance Limited acted as a promoter for a number of superannuation funds with assets managed by a third party investment manager. 
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  these  funds  are  not  included  in  the  financial  statements.  Arrangements  exist  to  ensure  the  activities  of  the 
superannuation funds are managed independently from the other activities of the company. 

Insurance Risk 

K. 
The insurance business of the Group involves a number of financial and non-financial risks.  The financial risks are covered in note 5. Key 
objectives in managing insurance risk are: 
(i)  To ensure sound business practices are in place for underwriting risks and claims management; 
(ii)  To achieve a target return on capital that is invested in order to take on insurance risk; and 
(iii)  To ensure solvency and capital requirements are met. 

Life insurance 
The life insurance business of the Group involves a number of non-financial risks concerned with the pricing, acceptance and management 
of the mortality, and longevity risks accepted from policyholders. These risks are controlled through the use of underwriting procedures and 
adequate  premium  rates  and  policy  charges,  all  of  which  are  approved  by  the  Actuary.  Tight  controls  are  also  maintained  over  claims 
management practices to ensure the correct and timely payment of insurance claims. 

Terms and conditions of life insurance contracts 
The nature  of the terms  of the  insurance contracts  written  by the Group is such that certain  external  variables can be identified  on  which 
related cash flows for claim payments depend. The tables below provide an overview of the key variables upon which the amount of related 
cash flows are dependent.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2021

Non-life insurance 
The risk management activities include prudent underwriting, pricing, and management of risk, together with claims management, reserving 
and investment management. The objective of these disciplines is to enhance the financial performance of the insurance operations and to 
ensure sound business practices are in place for underwriting risks and claims management. 

Claims 
Variations in claim levels  will  affect reported  profit  and  equity. The impact may  be  magnified if the  variation  leads to  a change  in  actuarial 
assumptions which cannot be absorbed within the present value of planned margins for a group of related products. Insurance risk may arise 
through the reassessment of the incidence of claims, the trend of future claims and the effect of unforeseen diseases or epidemics. Insurance 
risk is controlled by ensuring underwriting standards adequately identify potential risk, retaining the right to amend premiums on risk policies 
where appropriate. The experience of the Group's life insurance business is reviewed regularly. 

Concentration of insurance risk 
The Group does not believe it has any major geographic concentration of insurance risk.  The Group's policies aim to reduce concentration 
risk by maintaining a portfolio of policyholders with a broad spread of insurance risk types, ages, sexes, occupation classes and geographic 
locations. The group uses reinsurance to limit the insurance risk exposure for any one individual. 

Sensitivity Analysis 
The liabilities included in the reported results are calculated using certain assumptions about key variables as disclosed above. Sensitivity 
analysis is conducted to assess the impact of actual experience being different to that assumed in the calculation of liabilities. Movements in 
any variable will impact the profit and net assets of the Group. The tables below describe how a change in actual experience relative to that 
expected will affect next financial year's expected shareholder profit. 

Variable 
Expense risk 

Impact of movement in underlying variable 
An increase in the level or inflationary growth of expenses over assumed levels will decrease profit and shareholders’ 
equity 

Mortality rates 

Interest rate risk  Depending on the profile of the investment portfolio, the investment income of the Group will decrease as interest rates 
decrease. This may be offset to an extent by changes in the market value of fixed interest investments. The impact on 
profit and shareholder equity depends on the relative profiles of assets and liabilities, to the extent that these are not 
matched 
For  insurance  contracts  providing  death  benefits,  greater  mortality  rates  would  lead  to  higher  levels  of  claims, 
increasing associated claims cost and therefore reducing profit and shareholder equity 
The  impact  of  discontinuance  rate  assumption  depends  on  a  range  of  factors  including  the  type  of  contract,  the 
surrender value basis (where applicable) and the duration in force. For example, an increase in discontinuance rates 
at earlier durations of life insurance contracts usually has a negative effect on profit and shareholder equity. However, 
due to the interplay between the factors, there is not always an adverse outcome from an increase in discontinuance 
rates 
For benefits which are not contractually linked to the underlying assets, the Group is exposed to Market Risk

The table below illustrates how changes in key assumptions would impact the reported profit and liabilities of the Group.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 

Turners’ Board of Directors has adopted a corporate governance framework which encourages the highest standards of ethical 
conduct and provides accountability and control systems commensurate with the risks involved. 

The Board considers that this framework and governance practices for the year ended 31 March 2021 are generally in line with 
the 10 December 2020 NZX Corporate Governance Code, except as stated below: 

• Recommendation 2.5:  An issuer should have a written diversity policy which includes requirements for the board or 
relevant committee of the board to set measurable objectives for achieving diversity: Turners has a diversity policy which 
encourages a culture of diversity and inclusiveness at Turners. While no measurable objectives are in place, the board requires 
management to provide regular reporting and monitoring on diversity within the Turners workforce. The Board also uses tools 
such as the quarterly staff engagement survey to measure diversity and how the business is recognising, valuing and respecting 
differences to establish benchmark measures and progress. 

• Recommendation 2.9: An issuer should have an independent chairperson of the board. The chairperson of the board is 
Grant Baker, a non-executive director. Grant has a 7.54% shareholding in Turners and therefore the Board has determined that 
he is not an independent director. The chair is not the CEO of Turners, is not involved in the day to day running of the business 
and does not have significant influence over operational decisions. 

• Recommendation 3.3 and 3.4: An issuer should have a remuneration committee and a nomination committee. 

Due to the size of the Company's Board, matters normally dealt with by a remuneration committee or nominations committee are 
dealt with by the full Board. 

The Company will continue to monitor best practice in the governance area and update its policies to ensure it maintains the most 
appropriate standards. 

The information in this report is current as at 24 June 2021 and has been approved by the Board of Turners. 

The Turners’ Corporate Governance Code and other key policies are available on the Turners Automotive Group Limited website: 
https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/About+Us/Corporate+Governance.html. 

PRINCIPLE 1 – CODE OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR 

Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management accountable for 
these standards being followed throughout the organisation. 

The Board recognises that high ethical standards and behaviours are central to good corporate governance and it is committed 
to the observance of a written Code of Ethics for Turners. 

The Code of Ethics is the framework of standards by which directors, employees, contractors for personal services and advisers 
to Turners and its related companies are expected to conduct their professional lives. It has been approved by the Board in April 
2021.   

The Code of Ethics is intended to facilitate decisions that are consistent with Turners values, business goals and legal and policy 
obligations, thereby enhancing performance outcomes. In particular, it covers conflicts of interest, gifts, confidentiality, corporate 
opportunities, behaviour, proper use of assets and information and compliance with laws and policies. No donations have been 
to any political parties in FY21.  

The  Code  of  Ethics  is  available  on  the  Company’s  website.  Employees  are  expected  to  report  any  breaches  in  line  with  the 
processes outlined in the Code of Ethics. Turners has a Whistle Blower Policy to allow employees to raise the alarm on concerns 
they may have over malpractice without fear of retribution from their colleagues or employer.  

The Board believes that all directors conformed to the Code of Ethics during the 2021 financial year. 

Turners  has  a  Quoted  Financial  Product  Trading  Code  of  Conduct  to  mitigate  the  risk  of  insider  trading  in  Turners  financial 
products  by  employees  and  directors.  A  copy  of  this  is  available  on  Turners’  website.  Additional  trading  restrictions  apply  to 
Restricted Persons including directors and certain employees. Details of directors’ share dealings are on page 87 of the 2021 
Financial Statements.

PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE 

Director’s interests are disclosed on pages 87 to 90 of the 2021 Financial Statements. 

To  ensure  an  effective  Board,  there  should  be  a  balance  of  independence,  skills,  knowledge,  experience  and 
perspectives. 

The Turners Board  is responsible for setting the strategic direction  of the Company,  overseeing the financial  and  operational 
controls  of  the  business,  putting  in  place  appropriate  risk  management  strategies  and  policies  and  enhancing  its  value  for 
shareholders in accordance with good corporate governance principles. 

In addition to the Turners Corporate Governance Code, the Turners Board also operates under a written charter which sets out: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

• 

the structure of the Board; 
the role and responsibilities of directors; 
procedures for the nomination, resignation and removal of directors; 
identifies  procedures  to  ensure  that  the  Board  meets  regularly,  conducts  its  meetings  in  an  efficient  and  effective 
manner; and 
ensures that each Director is fully empowered to perform his or her duties as a director of Turners and to fully participate 
in meetings of the Board. 

Day to day  management  of Turners is undertaken by the  executive  team  under the  leadership  of the Chief Executive Officer, 
through a set of delegated authorities which are reviewed annually. 

In discharging their duties, directors have direct access to and may rely on information, financial data and professional or expert 
advice provided by Turners’ senior management and external advisers. Directors have the right, with the approval of the Chairman 
or by resolution of the Board, to seek independent legal or financial advice at the expense of Turners for the proper performance 
of their duties. 

Newly  elected  directors  are  expected  to  familiarise  themselves  with  their  obligations  under  the  constitution,  Board  Charter, 
Turners Corporate Governance Code and the NZX Listing Rules. Training is also provided to new and existing Directors where 
required to enable directors to understand their obligations. 

Board Composition and Appointment 

The number of elected directors and the procedure for their retirement and re-election at Annual Shareholder Meetings is set out 
in Turners Constitution. 

Turners considers that the nomination process for new Director appointments is the responsibility of the whole Board and it does 
not  have  a  separate  nomination  committee.  The  Board  takes  into  consideration  tenure,  capability,  diversity  and  skills  when 
reviewing Board composition and new appointments. 

Directors will retire and may stand for re-election by shareholders every three years, in accordance with the NZX Listing Rules. 

A Director  appointed since the previous  annual  meeting  holds  office  only  until the next  annual  meeting, but is  eligible for  re-
election at that meeting. 

When  a  director  is  newly  appointed,  Turners  will  enter  into  a  written  agreement  with  them  setting  out  the  terms  of  their 
employment. 

The Board currently comprises of seven directors: a non-executive chairman, four independent directors and two non-executive 
directors. While the Board is very active, non-executive directors are not involved in the day to day running of the business and 
have no influence over operational decisions. Directors are all elected based on the value they bring to the Board and against 
set  criteria  detailed  in  Turners  Corporate  Governance  Code.  The  Board  believes  that  the  current  directors  provide  valuable 
expertise and experience and offer complementary skill sets. The mix of long-standing and newer directors ensures that continuity 
of knowledge and organisational memory is balanced with fresh perspectives.  

As at 31 March 2021, Board members were: 

Paul Byrnes, Deputy chairman and Independent Director: Appointed 2 February 2004 

•  Grant Baker, Non-executive Chairman: Appointed 10 September 2009 
• 
•  Martin Berry, Independent Director: Appointed 17 August 2018 
•  Matthew Harrison, Non-executive director: Appointed 12 December 2012 
• 
Alistair Petrie, Non-executive director: Appointed 24 February 2016 
• 
John Roberts, Independent Director: Appointed 1 July 2015 
• 
Antony Vriens, Independent Director: Appointed 12 January 2015 

In order for a Director to be an independent director, the Board has determined that the relevant director must not be an executive 
of Turners  and  must have  no  disqualifying relationships. The Board follows the  guidelines  of the NZX Corporate Governance 
Code.  

Information on each director is available on the Turners website and on page 20 and 21 of the 2021 Annual Report. 

Board Training and Performance 

The  Company  encourages  all  Directors  to  undertake  appropriate  training  and  education  so  that  they  may  best  perform  their 
duties. This includes attending presentations on changes in governance, legal and regulatory frameworks; attending technical 
and professional development courses; and attending presentations from industry experts and key advisers. In addition, Directors 
receive updates on relevant industry and Company issues, and briefings from key executives. 

The Board regularly considers individual and collective performance, together with the skill sets, training and development and 
succession  planning  required  to  govern  the  business.  An  external  review  was  conducted  in  FY20,  and  recommendations 
regarding the quality and frequency of communication between management and the Board have been implemented. 

Diversity 

Turners believes that diversity and inclusion of background, experiences, thoughts and ways of working lead to greater creative 
and  innovative  solutions  which  ultimately  lead  to  a  superior  outcome  for  its  stakeholders  socially,  economically  and 
environmentally. 

Diversity in Turners includes (but is not limited to) the following: gender, race, ethnicity and cultural background, thinking, physical 
capability, age, sexual orientation, and religious or political belief. 

Turners Diversity and Inclusion Policy is available on the Turners website. The Board requires management to provide regular 
reporting and monitoring on diversity and wellbeing within the Turners workforce.  

The quarterly staff survey includes questions on equality with respondents rating Turners 8.2 out of 10 and higher.  

As at 31 March 2021 the gender balance of Turners directors and people was as follows:

PRINCIPLE 3 – COMMITTEES 

The  Board  should  use  committees  where  this  will  enhance  its  effectiveness  in  key  areas,  while  still  retaining  Board 
responsibility. 

The Board has constituted two standing Committees being the Audit, Risk Management and Sustainability Committee and the 
Lending and Credit Committee. Turners will continue to monitor best practice in the governance area and update its policies to 
ensure it maintains the most appropriate standards. 

Committees  allow issues requiring detailed consideration to  be dealt with separately  by  members  of the  Board  with specialist 
knowledge and experience, thereby enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the Board. However, the Board retains ultimate 
responsibility for the functions of its Committees and determines their responsibilities.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT cont.

The  Committees  meet  as  required  and  have  terms  of  reference  (Charters),  which  are  approved  and  reviewed  by  the  Board. 
Minutes of each Committee meeting are forwarded to all members of the Board, who are all entitled to attend any Committee 
meeting. Management may only attend committee meetings at the invitation of the Committee.  

Each  Committee  is  empowered  to  seek  any  information  it  requires  from  employees  in  pursuing  its  duties  and  to  obtain 
independent legal or other professional advice. The membership and performance of each Committee is reviewed annually. From 
time to time, special purpose committees may be formed to review and monitor specific projects with senior management. 

Audit, Risk Management & Sustainability Committee (ARMS Committee) 

The role of the ARMS Committee is to assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities under the Companies Act 1993 and the 
Financial Reporting Act 2013 regarding accountancy practices, policies and controls relative to the Turner’s financial position and 
make  appropriate  enquiry  into  the  audits  of the Turner’s financial statements. This responsibility includes  providing the Board 
with  additional  assurance  about  the  quality  and  reliability  of  the  financial  information  issued  publicly  by  Turners.  All  matters 
required to be addressed and for which the Committee has responsibility were addressed during the reporting period.  

The Committee is comprised solely  of non-executive Directors  of Turners, has three  members,  has  a  majority  of independent 
Directors and has at least one director with an accounting or financial background. The Chair of the committee is not the Chair 
of the Board and does not have a long-standing association with Turners’ external audit firm as a current, or retired, audit partner 
or senior manager at that firm. Management and employees may only attend meetings at the invitation of the Committee and the 
Committee  routinely  has  Committee-only  time  with  the  external  and  internal  auditors  without  management  present.  The 
Committee Charter is available as Appendix B in the Turners Corporate Governance Code. 

Turners’ full financial statements and half year results are available on Turners’ website. 

Non-financial information 

The Board recognises the importance of non-financial disclosure and in particular, environmental, social and governance (ESG) 
matters. Turners has an Environmental, Social and Governance Policy in section 14 of Turners Corporate Governance Code. A 
number of initiatives underway which supports Turners’ focus in these areas.  The company is also in the process of establishing 
and measuring emissions targets.  

Turners is committed to using its resources responsibly and will look for opportunities to reduce any negative environmental risk 
or impact from business operations, products and services. Turners is committed to providing fair and responsible products and 
services that includes adherence to the Responsible Lending Code, the Responsible Credit-Related Insurance Code, Insurance 
(Prudential Supervision) Act 2010 and various other Acts. 

The Board will encourage diversity and will not knowingly participate in business situations where Turners’ could be complicit in 
human rights and labour standard abuses.  

Turners  discusses  its strategic  objectives  and its  progress  against  these in  the  Chair  and CEO’s commentary in shareholder 
reports, and at other investor events during the year including investor presentations and the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. 

Members as at 31 March 2021 were John Roberts (Chair), Antony Vriens and Alistair Petrie. It met three times during the financial 
year. 

PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION 

Lending and Credit Committee 

The  Lending  and Credit Committee reviews the  lending  and credit  policies  of Turners’  Finance subsidiary company.  It is  also 
responsible  for  the  approval  of  lending  policies,  the  approval/decline  of  loan  applications  in  terms  of  approval  authority  and 
reviews the recovery of overdue loans and doubtful debt provisions in order to ensure that provisioning is satisfactory. 

The  Lending  and  Credit  Committee  members  as  at  31  March  2021  were  Matthew  Harrison  (Chair),  Alistair  Petrie  and  John 
Roberts. It met eighteen times during the financial year. 

Takeovers 

Turners prepared in the event of a takeover. The Board has adopted a written Takeover Response Policy (contained within the 
Turners  Corporate  Governance  Code)  to  follow  in  the  event  that  a  takeover  notice  or  scheme  of  arrangement  proposal  is 
imminent. This policy would involve Turners forming an Independent Takeover committee to oversee disclosure and response, 
and engage expert legal and financial advisors to provide advice on procedure. 

PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE 

The  Board  should  demand  integrity  in  financial  and  non-financial  reporting,  and  in  the  timeliness  and  balance  of 
corporate disclosures 

Turners’ directors are committed to keeping investors and the market informed of all material information about Turners and its 
performance, and ensuring compliance with applicable legislative and the NZX Listing Rules. The release of material information 
is  guided  by  the  Reporting  and  Disclosure  section  in  Turners  Corporate  Governance  Code,  and  the  Turners  Continuous 
Disclosure Policy, which are available to view on Turners’ website. 

Copies of other key governance documents are also available on Turners’ website. 

In  addition  to  all  information  required  by  law,  Turners  also  seeks  to  provide  sufficiently  meaningful  information  to  ensure 
stakeholders and investors are well informed, including financial and non-financial information. 

Financial information 

The Board is responsible for ensuring that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Turners 
and have been prepared using appropriate accounting policies, consistently applied and supported by reasonable judgements, 
estimates and for ensuring all relevant financial reporting and accounting standards have been followed. 

The Group Financial Controller holds the role of Company Secretary. In all accounting and secretarial matters, the Board ensures 
that the Secretary’s reports are objective and that the Secretary has unfettered access to the chair and the ARMS committee, 
without reference to the CEO. 

For the financial year ended 31 March 2021, the directors believe that proper accounting records have been kept which enable, 
with  reasonable  accuracy,  the  determination  of  the  financial  position  of  Turners  and  facilitate  compliance  with  Part  7  of  the 
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013. The Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer have 
confirmed in writing to the Board that Turners’ external financial reports present a true and fair view in all material aspects.    

The remuneration of directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable. 

The Board promotes the alignment of the interests of the directors, the CEO and management with the long term interests of 
shareholders. Remuneration policies and structure are reviewed regularly to ensure remuneration of management and directors 
is fair and reasonable in a competitive market for the skills, knowledge and experience required by Turners.  

The Board recognises that it is desirable that executive (including executive director) remuneration should include an element 
dependent  upon the  performance  of  both Turners  and the individual,  and should be clearly  differentiated from  non-executive 
director remuneration. 

Details of directors and executives’ remuneration and entitlements for the 2021 financial year are detailed on pages 75 and 87 of 
the Annual Report. 

The  Remuneration  Policy  is  included  in  section  10  of  Turners  Corporate  Governance  Code.  Turners  does  not  have  a 
Remuneration Committee and matters pertaining to remuneration are dealt with by the full Board. 

Director Remuneration 

The total remuneration pool available for Directors is fixed by shareholders. The Board determines the level of remuneration paid 
to Directors from the approved collective pool. Directors also receive reimbursement for reasonable travelling, accommodation 
and other expenses incurred in the course of performing their duties. The annual fee pool limit is $665,000 and was approved by 
shareholders at the annual meeting in September 2018. Any proposed increases in non-executive Director fees and remuneration 
will be put to shareholders for approval. If independent advice is sought by the Board, it will be disclosed to shareholders as part 
of the approval process. Board policy is that no sum is paid to a director upon retirement or cessation of office. 

While there is no formal requirement, all of Turners’ directors either directly or indirectly own shares in the company. Details of 
shareholdings are on page 87 of the 2021 Financial Statements.   

Board Remuneration 

• Chairman $150,000

New Zealand. Antony Vriens is the current chairman of the DPL Insurance board and is also a non-executive director of Turners. 

Details of individual Directors’ remuneration are detailed on page 87 of the 2021 Annual Report.

Executive  remuneration consists  of  a fixed base salary,  a  variable short term bonus paid  annually  and  a long  term  incentive, 
being a Share Option Plan. Bonuses are paid against targets agreed with executives at the commencement of the year and are 
based on profitability, growth and personal objectives. 

Details  of  executives’  remuneration  and  entitlements  are  detailed  under  Key  Management  Compensation  on  page  75  and

In July 2020, the CEO was granted 1,000,000 options at an exercise price of $2.00 under the Group’s Share Option Plan. The 
grant is split into 4 tranches of 250,000 options with the following vesting dates; 1 June 2021, 1 June 2022, 1 June 2023 and 1 
June 2024. Each tranche expires two years after the vesting date. 

The weighted average fair value of the options granted, using the Binomial Tree option pricing model, was $0.31 per option. 

If a participant in the Group Share Option Plan leaves (by any means and for any reason) the employment of the Company or 
any applicable subsidiary, the participant’s options which have reached their vesting date, together with any other options as may 
be nominated at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company in extraordinary circumstances (such as the redundancy, 
permanent disablement or death of a Participant), may be exercised within a period of 60 days (following which they will lapse)and 
the participant's other Options will lapse immediately. 

PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT 

Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage them. The 
Board should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and material 
risks. 

Turners  is  committed  to  proactively  managing  risk. While  this  is  the  responsibility  of  the  entire  Board,  the  ARMS  Committee 
assists the Board  and provides  additional  oversight  in regards to  the risk  management framework  and  monitoring compliance 
with that framework. 

The Board’s approach to risk management is incorporated into ARMS Committee Charter which is included as Appendix B in 
Turners Corporate Governance Code. The Board  delegates  day  to  date  management  of the risk to  the Chief Executive. The 
executive  team  and  senior  management  are  required  to  regularly  identify  the  major  risks  affecting  the  business  and  develop 
structures, practices and processes to manage and monitor these risks. Individual risks are discussed with the Board in detail as 
required. 

Key financial and non-financial risks are included in note 5 of the 2021 Financial Statements.  

Turners has a Health and Safety Policy which is monitored by a Health and Safety Committee assisted by Health and Safety 
coordinators in  each  business  unit.  Health  and Safety reports for  all business  units  are  included in the compliance section  of 
Board papers. 

PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS 

The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process. 

The Board’s  approach  to the  appointment  and  oversight  of  the  external  auditor  are  outlined in Turners’  External  Audit Policy 
(section  9  of the Turners Corporate Governance Code)  and  ensures that  audit  independence  is  maintained,  both in fact  and 
appearance, such that Turners external financial reporting is viewed as being highly reliable and credible. 

The ARMS Committee provides additional oversight of the external auditor, reviews the quality and cost of the audit undertaken 
by the Company’s external auditors and provides a formal channel of communication between the Board, senior management 
and external auditors. The Committee also assesses the auditor’s independence on an annual basis.

amount of fees paid to Baker Tilly Staples Rodway for audit and other services is identified on page 57 of the 2021 Annual Report. 

Baker Tilly Staples Rodway has provided the Turners’ Board with written confirmation that, in their view, they were able to operate 
independently during the year.

PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RELATIONS 

The  Board  should  respect  the  rights  of  shareholders  and  foster  constructive  relationships  with  shareholders  that 
encourage them to engage with the issuer. 

The  Board  is  committed  to  open  dialogue  and  to  facilitating  engagement  with  shareholders.  Turners  has  a  calendar  of 
communications and events for shareholders, including but not limited to: 

Annual and Interim Reports 

Annual Shareholder Meeting

•

•  Other ad hoc investor presentations 
• 
• 

Easy access to information through the Turners website www.turnersautogroup.co.nz 
Access to management and the Board via email info@turnersautogroup.co.nz 

Turners maintains a comprehensive investor relations website which provides access to key corporate governance documents, 
copies of all major announcements, company reports and presentations. 

Shareholders are encouraged to attend the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and may raise matters for discussion at this event. 
The company  live streams  the  annual  meeting,  which is  accessible  worldwide. In 2020, due  to COVID-related  disruption,  the 
meeting was held online only.  

The Board is satisfied that Turners has in place a risk management process to effectively identify, manage and monitor Turners’ 
principal risks. Turners maintains insurance policies that it considers adequate to meet its insurable risks. 

In accordance with the NZX Corporate Governance Code, the Board ensured that the notice of the 2020 Annual Shareholder 
Meeting was posted to Turners’ website as soon as possible, and at least 20 working days prior to that meeting. 

Health and Safety 

The Board recognises that effective management of health and safety is essential for the operation of a successful business, and 
its intent is to prevent harm and promote wellbeing for employees, contractors and customers. 

The Board is responsible for ensuring that the systems used to identify and manage health and safety risks are fit for purpose, 
being effectively implemented, regularly reviewed and continuously improved. 

Shareholders have the ultimate control in corporate governance by voting directors on or off the Board. Voting is by poll, upholding 
the ‘one share, one vote’ philosophy. 

In  accordance  with the Companies Act 1993, Turners’ constitution  and the NZX Listing Rules, Turners refers  major  decisions 
which may change the nature of Turners’ to shareholders for approval. 

All shareholders are given the option to elect to receive shareholder communications in electronic form (by email). 

In  addition to shareholders, Turners has  a  wide range  of stakeholders  and  maintains  open channels  of communication for  al 
audiences, including shareholders, brokers and the investing community, as well as staff, suppliers and customers.
