Net tangible assets per share

($0.03)

Net tangible assets are calculated by deducting both the Bendigo intangible assets of $88.5 million, right-
of-use assets of $26.3 million and deferred tax assets of $17.1 million from net assets, while including the 
associated commission payable to Bendigo, lease payable and deferred tax liability in total liabilities.

ASX Listing Rules require the liabilities funding these assets to be deducted from Net Tangible Assets, 
however, does not allow the recognition of these intangible assets, resulting in the 1 cent net tangible 
asset per share in June 2023 and negative 3 cents per share in June 2022.

Transaction value is a non-IFRS financial measure and is unaudited. Transaction value represents the total value of merchant sales that are 
processed through the Tyro payments platform and does not represent revenue in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.
Statutory revenue is adjusted for the recognition of the me&u investment as a financial asset after Tyro’s ownership reduced in the period with 
the impact of the initial recognition as a financial asset taken to profit or loss.

3.  Normalised gross profit is adjusted for Bendigo support fees associated with transition of Bendigo merchants to the Tyro platform and the

Bendigo gross profit share not deducted from statutory gross profit but deducted to calculate normalised gross profit. 
Tyro uses EBITDA as a non-IFRS measure of business performance, which excludes the non-cash impact of share-based payments expense, 
share of losses from associates, the non-cash accounting impact of the Bendigo Alliance, expenses associated with the terminal connectivity 
issue and other one-off costs.

5.  Normalised net loss before tax excludes the non-cash accounting impact of the Bendigo Alliance, expenses associated with the terminal 

connectivity issue and other one-off costs.

It is with great pleasure that I write to you as the new Chair of 
Tyro. After close to four years as a Non-executive Director and 
two years as Chair of the People Committee, it was an honour to 
succeed David Thodey and be appointed as Chair in March this 
year. In doing so I accepted the challenge of leading the Tyro 
Board and entire Tyro team in our ambition towards becoming 
the leading specialist payments solutions provider for Australian 
businesses.  Our goal is to assist our merchants to thrive by 
being more effective and efficient in managing their digital 
payments and commerce needs.

“FY23 was the opportune time to 
evolve Tyro’s way of doing business”

A transformative year

Tyro celebrated its 20th anniversary in February 2023 
celebrating our roots as one of Australia’s first true fintechs. 
In these 20 years we have processed over $175 billion in 
total transactions and currently help over 68,500 Australian 
businesses grow through the provision of innovative payments 
and cash management products and leading Australian based 
customer service. In order to continue to grow and develop, as 
we have in the past 20 years, we made a number of significant 
changes in FY23.  After our successful listing on the ASX in 
December 2019, navigating through the challenges of Covid 
and now dealing with the high interest rate environment that 
all Australians face and the many implications that has on 
merchants and in turn their customers, FY23 was the opportune 
time to evolve Tyro’s way of doing business.

This started with the transformation of our management 
team. In October 2022 we appointed Jon Davey as CEO. Jon 
joined Tyro following our acquisition of Medipass Solutions in 
May 2021 and he has refreshed our leadership team with the 
recruitment of a new Chief Technology Officer, a new Chief 
Product Officer, a new Chief Growth Officer, and a new leader of 
our Health business. Jon has also brought a renewed energy and 
determination to his role. He and the entire Tyro team have a 
single-minded focus to deliver on our strategy of becoming the 
leading specialist payments provider for Australian businesses.

15

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023CHAIR’S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS 
Soon after being appointed CEO, Jon and his 
team focused on core foundational priorities that 
needed to be put in place such as the delivery 
of new innovative products, a new operating 
model and cost base to drive efficiency while 
further developing a culture of high performance. 
Importantly, the team also worked on optimising 
our pricing plans to more profitably compete in the 
payments market.

The results achieved in FY23 speak for themselves. 
Tyro generated record transaction value of $42.6 
billion from over 68,500 merchants, record gross 
profit of $193.2 million, record EBITDA of $42.3 
million and a statutory net profit after tax of $6.0 
million together with positive free cash flow of 
$5.7 million. It is important to note that these 
very strong results in FY23 were delivered during 
a 10-month period of significant uncertainty 
and disruption created by the interest from third 
parties in a possible change of control transaction. 
Notwithstanding this significant disruption, focused 
execution of key foundational strategies and the 
resulting product delivery by our team, enabled 
us to deliver on our guidance which was upgraded 
three times through the year. 

Over the past year we have created a strong 
foundation for future growth and profitability - we 
have the right team, the right culture and most 
importantly the passion to deliver on our future 
strategy continuing with the innovation that has 
been delivered over the past 20 years and with 
a renewed focus on capital management and 
profitability to deliver superior shareholder returns. 
The Board and management team is excited 
by our prospects and has been assessing our 
strategic direction to ensure we remain relevant, 
competitive and innovative in the increasingly 
changing payments landscape we operate in. 
Jon will elaborate in further detail in his report the 
steps we are taking to better position Tyro for our 
future success.  

A renewed Board

Together with renewing our management team, our 
Board which has been renewed over the last three 
years, has the necessary depth of experience in 
payments, technology, banking, risk management, 
customer excellence, governance, M&A and 
strategy to take a rejuvenated Tyro into its next 
phase of growth. 

I am pleased to lead our Board that is now one of 
the most diverse of all ASX-listed companies with 
67% female representation. Diversity in experience, 
thought and gender genuinely helps deliver the 
robust governance that has, and continues to, 
serve us well.

Our path to a 
sustainable future

2023 also saw Tyro make significant progress 
towards minimising our environmental footprint 
and building on our foundations for a sustainable 
business model. This work will not only benefit 
Tyro but also our community and merchants in the 
years ahead. 

A few of the key strides we made in the year were 
to be accredited by Climate Active as being a Net 
Zero organisation for the first time in Tyro’s history. 
We have also invested in our sustainability program 
to drive strategic projects that will assist our SME 
merchants to become more sustainable through 
education tools, data management tools and 
partnerships as well as offering a service to their 
customers to contribute directly to good causes 
through their Tyro payments terminal. A further 
key strategic initiative that we will be driving is to 
offer dedicated payments services to charitable 
organisations that assist them in their fundraising 
activities through adopting payments in the 
digital economy and being relieved of traditional 
merchant fees enabling them to maximise their 
for-purpose goals.     

We are only at the start of this journey, and while 
our initiatives will benefit our merchants and 
the planet, our investments in our sustainability 
initiatives are also designed to increase shareholder 
return. More information about our sustainability 
practices can be found in our 2023 Sustainability 
Report on our investor website.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023Conclusion

Ultimately Tyro’s success comes down to the innovative 
and passionate people that work at Tyro and continue to 
believe in the vision Tyro was started with over 20 years 
ago. It is an honour to lead such an amazing team of 
people and with the right building blocks in place, I look 
forward to a productive and successful FY24 for all our 
stakeholders, not-withstanding there are some obvious 
uncertain economic headwinds which will affect us all.  

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our 
shareholders for their support in FY23, particularly 
over the 10-month period in which we were involved 
with the possible change of control transaction. Your 
engagement and input over this past year has been 
greatly appreciated and I thank you for your support. 
Finally, I would also like to thank the whole Board for their 
incredible support, skill and hard work, demonstrated with 
unwavering commitment to serving our shareholders at 
all times through what was an intense year.

I look forward to seeing everybody at our 2023 Annual 
General Meeting to be held on 15 November 2023.

Yours sincerely,

Fiona Pak-Poy

It is a great pleasure to present our first full year results since my 
appointment as CEO. Tyro is a great company, one of Australia’s first 
fintechs. Our founders created the business because they believed 
Australians deserved better payment acceptance solutions, and this 
purpose remains core to who we are today. We are proud to have been 
first to market with Point of Sale (POS) integrations, same day merchant 
settlement, and the implementation of least cost routing (LCR). Over the 
20 years since we were founded, Tyro has had a reputation for providing 
customer centric SME solutions and these solutions continue to position 
the business strongly. It was a thrill therefore to have been appointed CEO 
last October.

More recently however, while our growth has outperformed the market, 
we have been viewed as a traditional payment provider, more akin to 
a big bank than a fast-moving fintech. The challenge put to me by the 
Board is to regain our mantle as Australia’s leading payments innovator; a 
challenge I have enthusiastically accepted.

I have loved my first 11 months as CEO; it has been action-packed and we 
have made strong progress, laying the foundations for a new era at Tyro. 

I started my role in the shadow of a possible change of control transaction 
with our first non-binding offer received last September. Since then, we 
engaged in due diligence with several parties over nearly 10 months. 
It was a disruptive time for the business; however, we managed the 
demands with a small team and focused the core team on key strategic 
priorities and day to day management. 

Our FY23 results highlights:

1.  We are delivering against our plan.

We have made strong progress against our three key strategic 
priorities, enhancing our product portfolio, pricing optimisation 
and operating efficiency. New products and digital customer 
experiences have been launched, pricing optimisation activities are 
underway, and delivering margin improvements, and committed 
cost reduction initiatives have been completed.

2.  We are growing sustainably.

The implementation of our cost reduction program, together with 
an ongoing focus on cost management, has improved efficiency 
and resulted in a strong uplift in EBITDA margin. FY24 is expected to 
see further improvements as we continue to focus on leaner, more 
disciplined operations.

3.  The core business is performing well.

The core Tyro business has performed well. Growth has been strong, 
and we have seen increased diversification in the mix of industries 
we support.

2020

 
FY23 results update

We are pleased with our financial results for the year. 
We processed $42.6 billion in transaction value which 
represents growth of 24.6% on the prior year, almost 
matching our 5-year annual growth rate of 26.1%. 
Our merchant base grew by 7.7%. Excluding Bendigo, 
the core Tyro customer base grew by 14.3%, however 
our Bendigo merchant base decreased by 9.9% 
following completion of the transition of merchants 
from the Bendigo platform.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023CEO REPORT 
Strategic priorities

Our results were underpinned by the progress we 
have made in enhancing our product portfolio, 
pricing optimisation and through operating 
efficiency. 

Enhancing our product portfolio
As demand for acceptance of digital payments has 
grown, merchant needs for cost effective, flexible 
payment acceptance products have increased. 
Our Tyro Go card reader and the Tyro BYO Tap to 
Pay on iPhone solutions meet this need. The Tyro 
Go card reader is a portable device that connects 
via Bluetooth to a merchant’s smart phone. In the 
10 months since launch we have seen existing 
merchants use the solution as a queue buster and 
as a way of accepting payments while on the move, 
and we have seen take-up by new merchants in both 
existing and new industry verticals as they look for 
solutions that supplement a terminal or provide a 
more flexible terminal alternative.

Tyro BYO for iOS was launched at the start of May 
in partnership with Apple’s Australian launch of Tap 
to Pay on iPhone. Tap to Pay on iPhone is a simple 
and secure way for merchants to accept payments 
using their iPhone. A first-to-market iOS payment 
acceptance solution, Tyro BYO is quick to set up with 
existing merchants simply needing to download the 
Tyro BYO App and login to start accepting payments. 
New merchants can go through digital onboarding 
and be ready to accept payments in about 10 
minutes. The move to hardware agnostic payment 
solutions is a trend that we believe will continue and 
our learnings will position us strongly.

We launched our Tyro Pro terminal in November 
2022. The large-screen Android terminal is a new 
generation device that provides opportunities to 
develop software-based product features specific 
to the verticals in which we operate, and the 
merchants that use our solutions. These solutions 
offer merchants the opportunity to engage with 
their customers through new payment related 
experiences at the point of sale.

Pricing optimisation 
Having identified opportunities to improve margin 
through smarter pricing and better merchant pricing 
solutions, we have made good progress on several 
initiatives.

The first relates to increasing the take-up of our 
Least Cost Routing (LCR) solution, Tap & Save. We 
started the year with 31% of merchants utilising LCR 
functionality. This has increased to 54%. LCR routes 
certain debit transactions through the cheapest 
scheme rails ensuring that merchants and their 
customers receive the benefit of lower transaction 
costs. The routing of transactions through the 
cheapest scheme rail can have margin benefits for 
Tyro which has contributed to the strong gross profit 
margin we have achieved in FY23.

We also launched our first No Cost EFTPOS pricing 
product to complement our existing surcharging 
solution. This product provides merchants with the 
ability to recover the costs of their card acceptance 
fees. They open opportunities for Tyro in new 
segments of the market and provide an alternative 
way of reducing merchant costs without reducing 
payment acceptance fees.       

Operating efficiency
Within my first week as CEO, we announced 
implementation of a program to reduce our FY23 
operating cost base by $7 million ($11 million 
annualised saving from FY24); this included a 10% 
reduction in total headcount. With a leaner, more 
focused organisation, we have been able to prioritise 
initiatives that will deliver measurable results while 
delivering operating leverage and profitability.

In April, we introduced a new, simplified operating 
model. This included a refreshed organisational 
structure that provides greater clarity on 
accountabilities and outcomes and is underpinned 
by streamlined systems and processes. These 
changes also saw my leadership team reduce from 
13 to 7 executives and resulted in an expanded 
remit for many of these executives. For example, 
our Growth team (previously Customer team) now 
includes marketing and digital functions. This 
provides a single point of accountability for how 
we take our products to market, how we service 
our merchants, and how we support key partner 
relationships.

“...the renewed focus on regaining our mantle 
as Australia’s leading payments innovator 
has energised the team for a new era.”

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023 
Driving high performance 

Our people are our greatest asset, and I am 
fortunate to lead a team that is so motivated 
to help Australian businesses succeed. I am 
particularly proud of our unique culture where 
our team members want to make a difference, 
collaborate with, and learn from the best people, 
and thrive in an environment that challenges the 
status quo, embraces diversity and is free from 
ego. We remain focused on retaining and attracting 
top talent to ensure we’re positioned to realise our 
ambitions. Over the past six months, we have made 
several senior leadership changes including three 
new appointments to our executive team. 

Dominic White joined Tyro as Chief Product Officer 
bringing more than 25 years of market leading 
experience in designing, developing, and launching 
payments products for domestic acquirers, global 

payments services businesses, and payment 
schemes in both Australia and Europe. 

Deanne Bannatyne joined as Chief Growth Officer. 
Dee brings 20 years payments experience in areas 
as broad as risk and compliance, sales, servicing, 
marketing and digital. Her experience includes 
stints with global payments businesses, domestic 
Australian banks, and with a global scale-up. 

Finally, Adrian Perillo has been appointed as CEO 
of our Health Business. Adrian joined Tyro as part of 
our acquisition of Medipass in 2021. He has 20 years 
experience in digital and health businesses across 
a range of functions that include digital, marketing, 
product, and business operations.

We will continue to invest in our people and their 
career growth to drive a high-performance culture.  

A new era
While we are pleased with the success achieved in 
FY23, we recognise the challenges ahead. 

The current interest rate environment poses a threat 
to discretionary spend in our hospitality and retail 
verticals. The competitive landscape is also rapidly 
changing. Entry to the Australian market by global 
acquirers and increased investment in payment 
technology by domestic challengers and the big 
four banks have given merchants more choice. New 
payment acceptance forms such as account to 
account (facilitated by the New Payments Platform) 
provide further opportunities for acquirers to deliver 
solutions that offer different payment experiences, 
and different pricing points.

Despite the broader macro-economic headwinds, 
I am confident of a strong future for Tyro. We know 
that if we are to maintain our market leading growth 
rates, there are important product, distribution, 
and resourcing questions to answer. We are 
currently updating our strategy and considering 
key issues including the role of banking and how 
we source products, the efficiency and utility of 
our proprietary payments switch, go-to market 
approach, and our relationship with partners 
including our POS partners.

FY23 will be remembered as a challenging year for 
our team as well as a transformative moment for 
our company. While headcount reductions, changes 
in the operating model and the uncertainty 
presented by a potential acquisition presented 
challenges for our team members, the renewed 
focus on regaining our mantle as Australia’s leading 
payments innovator has energised the team for a 
new era.

We have also provided better clarity to you, our 
shareholders, on the prospects for this business as 
we continue to grow, improve operating leverage 
and profitability, and generate shareholder wealth. 
We will host our first investor strategy day in 
October where we will present our updated strategy 
and give you the opportunity to meet the team and 
ask your questions. Further details will be provided 
in September.

Finally, I would like to thank our fantastic merchants 
and network of partners who inspire us daily. To 
our committed team, thank you for embracing the 
changes I have led and for your hard work to deliver 
a record set of financial and operating results. I 
would also like to thank the Board for their support. 

I am really looking forward to a great FY24.

Yours sincerely,

Jon Davey
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Normalised other revenue and income is adjusted for the fair value gain of $4.0 million on the recognition of me&u as a financial asset.
Normalised gross profit is adjusted for Bendigo support fees of $1.0 million associated with transition of Bendigo merchants to the Tyro platform, the Bendigo gross 
profit share of $8.1 million not deducted from statutory gross profit but deducted to calculate normalised gross profit and a fair value gain on the recognition of 
me&u as a financial asset. 
Tyro uses EBITDA as a non-IFRS measure of business performance, which excludes the non-cash impact of share-based payments expense, share of losses from 
associates, change in accounting treatment of investments and one-off costs to implement the cost reduction program and any M&A related spend. 
EBIT and normalised net profit before tax excludes the non-cash accounting impact of the Bendigo Alliance, expenses associated with the change in accounting 
treatment of investments and one-off costs to implement the cost reduction program and any M&A related spend.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023Performance review
Our record FY23 transaction value performance was 
driven by our existing Tyro portfolio of merchants. 
Excluding Bendigo, Tyro grew by 28.5% with strong 
performance recorded in our Hospitality and Health 
verticals. Including Bendigo, which grew at 2.7% 
for the year, overall transaction value growth came 
in at 24.6%. This matches our long term 5-year 
CAGR growth of 26.1% showing that we continue to 
outperform overall market growth and take market 
share in our addressable market.  

Our largest vertical by merchants and transaction 
value, Hospitality, continued to perform strongly 
in FY23. Hospitality grew transaction value by 37% 
in the year to $18.3 billion (FY22: $13.4 billion) from 
17,425 merchants. Merchant growth came in at 9% 
with the largest driver of growth relating to higher 
average basket sizes and number of transactions 
generated at existing merchants. Average transaction 
value generated from our Hospitality merchants 
was $1.1 million in FY23 compared to $895,000 in 
the prior year, an increase of 22%. A portion of this 
growth was driven by inflationary growth, however 
consumer discretionary spending remained robust 
for most of the financial year.      

Our Health vertical also recorded strong growth in 
the year at 34% to $5.4 billion in transaction value 
(FY22: $4.0 billion). Health is benefiting from the 
combination of our Medipass and legacy Tyro Health 
businesses which we rebranded and relaunched as 
Tyro Health. This specialised business unit is driving 
strong new merchant acquisition and eCommerce 
take up. The combined Tyro Health business grew 
its merchants to 16,165 at 30 June 2023, up 24% 
from the 13,033 merchants at 30 June 2022. Even 
more impressive is that the average transaction 
value generated from health merchants increased 
to $326,500 in FY23, up 26% from the $260,000 
recorded in the prior year. This was driven by the 
take up a greater range of eCommerce and claiming 
products offered by the integrated Tyro Health 
business. Tyro Health now represents 13% of Tyro’s 
total transaction value contribution and 31% of our 
total merchant base (excluding Bendigo).

Our Services and Other vertical is continuing to show 
strong growth driven by our new terminal product 
offering and improved go-to-market strategy. 
Transaction value for this vertical came in at $3.2 
billion, up 26% from the $2.5 billion generated in 
FY22. Merchant growth came in at 21% with 8,525 
merchants active at 30 June 2023 compared to 7,027 
at 30 June 2022. Since the launch of Tyro Go and 
Tyro BYO, we have signed on 2,961 new merchants 
using these products only. Our Services and Other 
vertical now represents 16% of Tyro’s total merchant 
base (excluding Bendigo), up from 15% in the prior 
year.        

29

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWThe one vertical that is experiencing moderating growth is our Retail vertical. This vertical is on the frontline 
of the impact from rising interest rates and decreased consumer discretionary spending which has been 
evident since October 2022. Transaction value lifted 14% to $10.3 billion on a stable merchant base of 10,874 
merchants (FY22: 10,332) with growth largely driven by inflationary increases.

The data only relates to Tyro merchants and excludes Bendigo merchants

The other area of our Payments Business that is 
experiencing lower growth relates to our Bendigo 
Bank Alliance. The Alliance generated transaction 
value of $5.4 billion, up 2.7% from the $5.2 billion 
generated in the prior year. As the mix of Bendigo 
merchants is more weighted to retail, they are 
experiencing similar macro-economic issues to the 
Tyro Retail vertical. However merchant acquisition 
is also an area of ongoing focus with the number 
of active merchants in the Alliance decreasing 10% 
to 15,676 merchants (FY22: 17,394). The decrease in 
merchant numbers was driven by the transition of 
merchants from the Bendigo platform taking longer 
than expected. This has now been completed.      

Merchant acquisition metrics are tracking strongly. 
While retention rates deteriorated over the year, they 
remain strong and the largest portion of churn was 
from merchants going out of business (49%).

We generated 71,282 new leads in FY23. 48,316 leads 
have come from our expanding partner channel with 
22,966 coming from digital, above-the-line and other. 
The key drivers of new leads have come from our 
exclusive partnership with Telstra (which also includes 
distribution arrangements with Australia Post), the 
continued strong referrals from POS partners and the 
introduction of Tyro BYO. The conversion from leads 
to new merchant applications came in at 21% with 
a record total of 17,168 new applications achieved in 
FY23, up 16% from FY22.      

Another positive indicator for our business is the 
stability of our merchant retention metrics which 
remain low when considering the segments we serve 
and the macro-economic environment we currently 
operate in. Transaction value churn remained 
constant at 9.3% (FY22: 9.2%) and merchant number 
churn increased to 11.7% (FY22: 10.5%) due to a cohort 
of non-trading merchants being removed from active 
status as previous Covid support offered by state 
governments and the Federal Government ceased for 
these merchants in FY23. As these merchants were 
not generating transaction value, they had little to no 
impact on our transaction value churn. 

From a geographical standpoint, all states and 
territories delivered growth for our Tyro core business 
in FY23, achieving growth of between 19% to 35% per 
state or territory. As can be seen from Chart 3 on the 
next page, New South Wales delivered growth of 35%, 
Victoria delivered growth of 31% and Queensland 
delivered growth of 20%. For the first half of FY23, a 
portion of the strong growth in New South Wales and 
Victoria was attributed to extended Covid lockdowns 
in these States in the prior year.

Off the back of the transaction value growth and merchant number growth, our Payments Business generated 
a 25.4% lift in normalised gross profit to $177.4 million (FY22: $141.5 million). 

We have generated an uplift in our net Merchant Service Fee (MSF) in the year. The MSF for the year increased 
by 7.1 basis points and this was largely driven by an increase in the international card mix. As our Payments 
business normalised closer towards pre-Covid levels, the international card mix more than doubled from 
1.1% in FY22 to 2.6% in FY23. 4.6 basis points of the change was related to this mix change, either as passing 
on the costs to cost plus merchants or price changes to recover costs, while 2.4 basis points was related to 
margin driven price changes.  The increase in MSF translated to a lift in our Merchant Acquiring Fee (MAF) and 
payments gross profit margin. MAF increased to 34.0 basis points in the year, a 1.2 basis point increase over 
FY23. Finally, our gross profit margin increased to 42.5 basis points in FY23, up 0.6 basis points over the prior 
year.

As highlighted in the CEO report, we made significant 
leaps in FY23 for our Payments business in delivering 
a new product portfolio including Tyro Pro, Tyro Go 
and Tyro BYO. We put in place the foundations for 
an optimised operating model including delivering 
our new digital customer onboarding and servicing 
capabilities that have significantly improved our 
speed of onboarding together with improving the 
customer experience and driving cost efficiencies. 
We have focused on the pricing optimisation of our 
merchant portfolio which is starting to yield strong 
results in lifting margins without impacting the churn 
of our merchants and we have uplifted our team 
through a new management team and appointing 
experienced senior leaders to drive growth and 
product delivery.

We will continue to invest in a merchant-led focus on 
product innovation including improvements to our 
eCommerce offering and building on the capabilities 
and revenue model of our Tyro Connect offering.  

In order for merchants to thrive in the digital 
economy, a deepened payments offering across all 
channels and an emphasis on customer experience 
will see us deliver a unified commerce experience 
to our merchants seamlessly integrating in-store 
payments, online payments, payments data insights,

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023Gross profit of $8.6 million was generated from our 
Banking business, up 63.6% (FY22: $5.2 million) 
reflecting the increased net interest margin 
generated on our loan product, the increased interest 
rates paid on deposit accounts and the loss on the 
fair valuation of the loan book at 30 June 2023.

Key strategic growth initiatives
Despite this strong growth in FY23, just less than 
10% of our merchants are actively using a Tyro 
bank account and less than 3% of our merchants 
took out a loan in the year. Our banking business 
still only represents less than 5% of our total Group 
gross profit. However, the momentum generated in 
FY23 shows the potential of our banking products 
to merchants. Cash management and treasury 
solutions are an increasingly attractive opportunity 
to merchants as a value-add service to traditional 
payments products with many of our competitors 
starting to offer these cash management products. 
We firmly believe our lending solution and cash 
management account to be the leading cash flow 
management products in market and we will be more 
focused in the years ahead on proactively marketing 
these banking products to merchants.

Furthermore, as payments optionality increases 
with the introduction of the new payments platform 
(NPP), the ability of merchant acquirers to facilitate 
payments through the NPP will need to become 
a core product offering. With our current banking 
assets, we are well placed to offer these services to 
our merchants.   

Performance review
Tyro’s merchant cash advance loan product 
generated record new loan originations of $149.7 
million in FY23, up 51.1% from $99.1 million in FY22. 
Following enhancements made to the product 
including an improved automated approval process 
and expanding the loan product to the Tyro banking 
web portal (previously limited to the App only), take 
up of the product increased strongly in the year. 
A total of 3,160 new loans were written in FY23, an 
increase of 50.3% over the 2,103 loans written in 
FY22. The average loan amount drawn down was 
~$47,000, which was similar to the average loan draw 
down in FY22.

The increase in originations has seen interest income 
from the loan product increase 127.0% to $11.1 million. 
Growth in Banking revenue is 19 points above the 
growth in loan originations driven by the current 
higher interest rate environment. We repriced our 
loan product through the year in line with increased 
interest rates resulting in an improved average 
annualised interest rate of 24% generated (FY22: 
20%). At 30 June 2023, loans of $50.5 million were 
carried on the balance sheet compared to $39.5 
million in the prior year. 

Lending losses have again been well managed with 
total lending losses of $2.9 million representing 
1.9% of originations (FY22: 0.6% loss to originations). 
The fair value loss of the loan book at 30 June 2023 
amounted to $1.7 million, compared to a gain of $0.6 
million in FY22. The reason for the switch from a 
gain in FY22 to a loss in FY23 relates to our cautious 
evaluation of the loan book in light of the current 
economic environment. 

A key component to funding our loan product relates 
to our deposit products which has seen strong 
growth in the year with the number of activated 
accounts increasing 5-fold to over 28,000 activated 
accounts. We activated the Tyro bank account for 
all Tyro merchants in FY23 to enable merchants 
to take advantage of the benefits of this fee free, 
interest generating cash management product for 
their businesses. We also started participating in the 
Australian Money Markets term deposit platform in 
FY23 to access a stable base of larger term deposits 
as required to fund our loan book. A total of $92.7 
million is held on deposit with Tyro (FY22: $83.3 
million) with an average deposit balance of ~$15,400.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWGroup Profitability and Free Cash Flow

The Group generated record normalised EBITDA 
of $42.3 million, up 296.5% from the $10.7 million 
generated in the prior year. The significant increase 
in EBITDA reflects a combination of the strong 
growth in Payments normalised gross profit of 
25.4%, Banking gross profit growth of 63.4% and an 
increase of 303.1% in interest received from Tyro’s 
investment and working capital balances while cost 
growth was well controlled with an increase of only 
9.5% in the year. In October 2022, we announced 
a cost reduction program which has delivered $5 
million in operating cost savings in FY23 and is on 
track to deliver an annualised $11 million reduction 
in our cost base in FY24 ahead. The $42.3 million 
in EBITDA represents an EBITDA margin of 21.9% 
clearly demonstrating the strong profitability 
achieved in FY23.    

The strong EBITDA result for FY23 translated to 
the first ever generation of positive free cash flow 
for Tyro in a financial year. Free cash flow of $5.7 
million was generated for the year (FY22: negative 
free cash flow of $34.1 million). This was achieved 
after spending $2.9 million on change of control 
discussions as well as $1.3 million in termination 
costs incurred as part of the cost reduction program. 

We also generated a statutory net profit after tax 
for the first time since listing in 2019. Our statutory 
net profit for the reporting period was $6.0 million 
(FY22: loss of $29.6 million). Depreciation and 
amortisation was up 14.8% at $36.4 million (FY22: 
$31.7 million) reflecting amortisation of $11.2 million 
on the accounting treatment of the Bendigo Bank 

Alliance (FY22: $11.2 million). Excluding the Bendigo 
amortisation charge, depreciation and amortisation 
was up 22.8% reflecting new terminal purchases to 
meet the growth in merchant numbers (including 
terminals required for the Bendigo Bank Alliance). 
FY23 statutory net profit benefited from the 
release of a $3.7 million provision that was put in 
place in FY21 relating to the terminal incident. With 
the settlement of the class action relating to the 
terminal incident achieved in FY23, we released 
the remaining provision. We also benefited from 
a fair value gain of $4.0 million that was realised 
in FY23 relating to the change in recognition of 
our investment in me&u from an investment in an 
associate to an investment in a financial asset. 
Finally, we incurred costs of $2.8 million relating to 
advisor fees for work undertaken on the interest by 
third parties in a change of control transaction.   

On a normalised basis, excluding the impact of 
one-off costs incurred, the benefit of the release of 
the terminal incident provision and the fair valuation 
of me&u, and the accounting treatment of Bendigo, 
our net profit before tax was $4.5 million (FY22: 
loss of $16.1 million). A tax benefit of $3.6 million 
was recognised in FY23 relating to the recognition 
of previously unrecognised carried forward losses 
and timing differences as the business is now 
profitable and generating positive free cash flow. At 
30 June 2023 we have $38.6 million (tax affected) in 
recognised and unrecognised tax losses, credits and 
temporary differences available for probable future 
use.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023 
Capital Management 
and Liquidity

The Group is also well capitalised with a total capital 
ratio of 52%. The movement in the ratio from 34% 
at 30 June 2022 reflects Tyro’s capital generation 
within the year as well as the positive impact of 
adopting the new Basel III capital requirements. 
The total capital ratio remains well above APRA 
Prudential Capital Requirements.

Tyro’s capital ratios throughout the year included an 
appropriate buffer to ensure they remained above 
APRA’s capital adequacy requirements and Board-
approved levels. Tyro continues to be a high-growth 
business, and the current capital management 
policy is to reinvest all cash flows, and any excess 
capital generated, into the business to support 
and maximise future growth and profitability. 
Accordingly, Tyro does not expect to pay any 
dividends to shareholders in the near term.

Financial Position

With cash and financial investments of $128.9 
million (30 June 2022: $122.8 million) Tyro has 
sufficient liquidity in place to continue to fund its 
growth strategy. The movement of positive $6.1 
million in cash and financial investments is reflective 
of positive free cash flow of $5.7 million, an inflow of 
$6.3 million relating primarily to timing differences 
in net scheme receivables offset by a $6.2 million 
outflow from banking cash flows.

At 30 June 2023, Tyro had total assets of $431.0 
million (FY22: $410.1 million) of which 30% related 
to cash and financial investments. 35% of our 
total assets relate primarily to intangible assets 
recognised for customer contracts on the Bendigo 
Bank Alliance and the right of use asset recognised 
on our office lease. 12% of total assets relates to 
loans made to merchants with the remaining 23% 
of total assets made up of property, plant and 
equipment, deferred tax assets and merchant fees 
due from our merchants. 

Tyro had total liabilities of $253.4 million (FY22: 
$250.5 million) of which 37% related to the merchant 
bank account deposits, with the remainder relating 
to commissions payable to Bendigo under the 
alliance agreement, trade and other liabilities, lease 
liabilities and provisions. The Group’s total assets 
exceeded its total liabilities by $177.7 million (FY22: 
$159.6 million).

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWRisk Management 

The purpose of risk management is not to eliminate 
risk from our business model but to ensure that we 
maximise our opportunities by taking decisions that 
meet our risk appetite and deliver long-term value for 
our stakeholders.

Our Board oversees our risk management framework 
through its Board Risk Committee and promotes 
a culture of risk awareness in everything we do. 
We operate in a complex and constantly changing 
environment where risk is encountered and managed 
as part of our day-to-day operations. We are 
committed to ensuring that a consistent approach 
to identifying, assessing, and managing risk is 
established across the business and is embedded in 
our processes and culture, in line with the standard 
‘three lines of defence’ model.

Our approach includes:

• 

implementing a systematic risk assessment and 
escalation process;

•  managing and reporting risks in line with 

delegated risk acceptance and escalation 
authorities and the Board’s approved risk appetite; 
and

•  embedding risk culture and awareness, with 

regular team training and education. 

Our Board oversees management’s compliance 
with its policies and procedures and sets its 
qualitative and quantitative risk appetite (in the 
form of our Risk Appetite Statement) in pursuit of 
its business objectives as defined by our strategy. 
Our Risk Appetite Statement, together with our Risk 
Management Framework, outlines an approach that 
establishes how we define risk and how much we are 
willing to take. 

Having a risk management framework that is 
appropriate to the size, mix and complexity of our 
business and consistent with our strategic objectives 
is a requirement of the Australian Prudential 
Regulation Authority. All employees complete 
mandatory training to make them aware of their 
responsibilities and provide them with a mechanism 
for identifying and reporting risk to their People 
Leaders and XLT members.

To help ensure we operate within the defined risk 
appetite set by the Board, our approach to managing 
our risk is underpinned by a ‘three lines’ of defence 
model:

First Line of Defence: Business managers are 
responsible for the identification and management of 
risk as part of their day-to-day responsibilities.

Second Line of Defence: The Risk team is 
accountable for providing risk advice, oversight, and 
challenge to the business. They maintain the Risk 
Management Framework and report to the Board on 
the risk appetite, risk profiles, frameworks, policies 
and other risk management tools to guide the 
business.

Third Line of Defence: Internal Audit is accountable 
for independently assuring that the Risk Management 
Framework is operating effectively, and our risk 
management practices are appropriate in the context 
of statutory and regulatory obligations.

10.  Share-based payments
Details of share-based payments are disclosed in our Remuneration Report on pages 53 to 87 and in Note 13 of

11.  Additional information indemnities and insurance
Clause 54 of the Company’s Constitution provides that every person who is or has been a Director or Secretary of 
the Group must be indemnified by the Company, to the extent permitted by law, against:

liabilities incurred by the person as an officer of the Company or a subsidiary; and

• 
•  for legal costs incurred by the person in defending any proceedings which relate to a liability incurred by that 

person as an officer of the Company.

The Company has executed Deeds of Indemnity, Insurance and Access, consistent with this Clause, in favour 
of all current Directors of the Company, the Company Secretary who is named in this Directors’ Report and the 
Company’s current Chief Financial Officer. The Company has also entered into equivalent Deeds of Indemnity with 
former Directors and Secretaries of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s previous Constitution. Each 
Deed indemnifies those persons for the full amount of all such liabilities including costs and expenses, subject to 
their terms.

49

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023DIRECTORS’ REPORTFor the year ended 30 June 2023, no amounts have been paid pursuant to indemnities (FY22: Nil). The Company’s 
Constitution also allows the Company to pay insurance premiums for contracts insuring the current and former 
Directors and Secretaries of the Company in relation to any such liabilities and legal costs. 

During or since the end of the financial year, the Company has paid the premium in respect of contracts insuring 
each of the Directors and the Secretary named in this Directors’ Report, the former Directors, and the officers 
of the Company as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The class of officers insured by the policy includes 
all officers of the Company. The terms of the contracts of insurance prohibit the disclosure of the nature of the 
liabilities insured against and the amount of the premium. As at the date of this report, no amounts have been 
claimed or paid in respect of these insurance contracts other than the premium referred to above.

To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditors, Ernst & Young, as part of the 
terms of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties and resulting liabilities, losses, damages, 
costs and expenses arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). This indemnity does not extend to matters 
finally determined to have arisen from Ernst & Young’s negligent, wrongful or wilful acts or omissions.

12.  Proceedings on behalf of the Group
In relation to the terminal outage incident in January 2021, a class action proceeding was filed against Tyro in 
October 2021 in the Federal Court of Australia on behalf of customers impacted by the terminal outage incident. 
The class action was the subject of Tyro’s previous ASX announcement on 20 October 2021. The class action 
alleged that Tyro engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct, contravened certain statutory guarantees and 
breached certain contractual warranties. The claim sought compensation and damages from Tyro. 

Following a Court ordered mediation, Tyro entered into a Settlement Deed relating to an in-principle settlement of 
the class action which was approved by the Court. The class action proceedings were dismissed by the Court on 19 
June 2023. Payment of the settlement amount did not involve any additional cost or expense to Tyro. In agreeing 
to resolve the class action, Tyro made no admission as to liability.

13.  Non-audit services
The Group may decide to employ its auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the 
auditor’s expertise and experience with the Group is important.

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

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor, as set out below, did not 
compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

•  all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact the impartiality 

and objectivity of the auditor; and 

•  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a 
management or a decision-making capacity for the Group, acting as advocate for the Group or jointly sharing 
economic risk and rewards.

The non-audit services paid to the auditors (Ernst & Young) was for equity plan advice amounting to $21,500. 
Details of the audit and non-audit fees paid or payable for services provided by the auditors are detailed in Note 
22 of the Financial Report.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 202314.  Auditor’s independence
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is 
set out on page 89 and forms part of the Directors’ Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2023. 

15.  Rounding of amounts
The Group is of a kind referred to in Legislative Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and 
Investments Commission, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the Directors’ Report. Amounts in the 
Directors’ Report have been rounded off in accordance with that Legislative Instrument to the nearest thousand 
dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar. This Directors’ Report is made in accordance with a resolution of 
the Directors. 

16.  Significant events after the end of the financial year
On 4 July 2023 Tyro Payments (Ben Alliance) Pty Ltd was lodged for deregistration.  On 27 July 2023 Medipass 
Solutions Pty Ltd legally changed its name to Tyro Health Pty Ltd.  

On 7 August 2023, the appeals period for the orders dismissing the class action relating to the January 2021 
terminal connectivity issue lapsed. On 21 August 2023, the settlement amount was paid by the Group’s insurer.  

In the opinion of the Directors, other than the two matters noted above, there have been no matters or 
circumstances which have arisen between 30 June 2023 and the date of this report that have significantly 
affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the result of those operations or the state of 
affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dear Shareholders, 

On behalf of the People Committee, I am pleased 
to present Tyro’s Remuneration Report for the 
financial year ended 30 June 2023. Our imperative 
as a Board is balancing the delivery of returns 
to investors with long term sustainable business 
performance and the People Committee is focused 
on the alignment of these priorities. 

It was an honour to be elected as the Chair of 
the Tyro People Committee in March of this year 
following Fiona’s election to Chair of the Board. This 
financial year was defined by two key themes. The 
first theme was one of renewal; the renewal of our 
management team, our Board and Tyro’s strategic 
priorities that we believe will position Tyro well for 
our next chapter of growth and profitability. The 
second was the near 10-month period of engaging 
with interested parties regarding a possible change 
of control transaction. 

As a People Committee, we were pleased with 
how our Team remained focused during this time 
to achieve record financial results for the year and 
delivered new product innovations to our more 
than 68,500 merchants who trust us with their 
payments and banking needs.     

Board and 
Management Renewal

After three years as a listed company in which we 
navigated the impacts of Covid and the upheaval in 
the tech market, the Board and People Committee 
saw an opportunity to renew the Tyro management 
team to drive our next chapter of growth and 
profitability.  Following an extensive internal and 
external search, we bolstered our management 
team by appointing internal candidate Jon Davey 
as CEO in October 2022. Jon joined Tyro following 
our acquisition of Medipass Solutions in May 2021. 

Jon renewed his leadership team with the 
recruitment of a new Chief Product Officer, a 
new Chief Growth Officer and a new leader of 
the Health business, as well as implementing a 
new operating model to better serve Tyro and our 
merchants going forward. In a little over 10 months 
as CEO, Jon has brought a renewed energy, focus, 
and determination to Tyro. This has seen improved 
accountability, productivity, and delivery with the 
strong financial results a clear indication of the 
impact he and his new leadership have had on the 
business in a short period of time.

We also completed our renewal of the Board which 
has taken place over the past three years.  In 2021 
we welcomed Aliza Knox as a non-executive director, 
followed by myself and Shefali Roy in 2022. In 
March 2023, Fiona Pak Poy replaced David Thodey 
to become Tyro’s first female Chair, and one of the 
few ASX300 Chairs of Asian descent. Finally, there 
was my appointment to replace Fiona as Chair of 
the People Committee in March 2023. Together, 
our Board has the necessary depth of experience in 
payments, technology, banking, risk management, 
customer excellence, governance, and strategy, 
including dealing with complex mergers and 
acquisitions, to take a rejuvenated Tyro into its next 
phase of growth.

Our Board is now one of the most diverse of all ASX-
listed companies with 67% female representation. 
Diversity in experience, thought and gender 
genuinely helps deliver the robust governance that 
has, and continues to, serve us well.

Tyro FY23 Performance

Our remuneration framework aligns both the short-
term and long-term rewards of employees and the 
Executive Leadership Team (XLT) with Tyro’s strategic 
goals, financial performance and core values and 
links variable pay outcomes to both Group and 
individual performance. 

With respect to the key component of our variable 
remuneration that directly links to Tyro’s financial 
performance, we delivered record transaction 
value of $42.6 billion, showing impressive growth 
of 25% from the $34.2 billion generated in FY22. 
This transaction value was generated from our more 
than 68,500 merchants with a total of 17,168 new 
merchants joining Tyro in the past 12 months. 

The record transaction value resulted in the 
achievement of record normalised gross profit of 
$193.2 million for the year. This is a growth of 30% 
over the prior year which, together with our cost 
reduction program implemented in October 2022, 
resulted in record EBITDA of $42.3 million, a 297% 
improvement over the $10.7 million generated in the 
prior year with an EBITDA margin of 22%. 

Furthermore, we generated positive free cash flow of 
$5.7 million for the year resulting in the achievement 
of all guidance targets communicated to investors at 
the start of the year. These strong results achieved 
in a softening operating environment are a clear 
indication that Tyro is now on a path to delivering 
improved shareholder value as the business 
continues to scale. 

FY23 Remuneration 
Outcomes

With respect to the annual salary reviews conducted 
in January 2023 and our stated strategy to provide 
fixed annual remuneration (comprised of base salary 
and superannuation) between the 50th and 75th 
percentile (based on independent benchmark data), 
with technology roles skewed to the higher end 
of the range, we provided our team with an overall 
average remuneration increase of 4.1% (excluding the 
Executive Key Management Personnel (KMP) and 
XLT).  Executive KMP and XLT were provided with an 
average increase of 6.7%, excluding our new CEO 
who accepted a new employment contract with the 
details provided in this Remuneration Report. Non-
executive Directors did not receive any increase in 
remuneration this year.   

Following the strong results achieved in FY23, the 
overall FY23 short-term incentive (STI) outcome 
came in at 113% (FY22: 46%) of target with a total STI 
of $11.1 million to be paid to employees. Of this, $3.6 
million will be paid in cash with the remaining $7.5 
million to be issued as equity rights. 

In FY23, the People Committee amended the 
allocation of STI to the XLT to be more weighted 
to the issue of equity rights compared to cash. 
For FY23, 33.3% of the STI to XLT will be issued as 
cash (75% previously), 33.3% of the STI to XLT will 
be issued as short-term rights vesting equally over 
12 months from grant, with the final 33.3% of the 
STI granted as long-term rights vesting in a single 
tranche 4 years after grant. This change was made to 
better align variable XLT remuneration to longer term 
shareholder wealth creation.      

The FY23 long-term incentive (LTI) Plan was made 
available to 66 employees made up of Executive 
KMP, the XLT and key employees identified by 
the CEO and the Board. Performance Rights were 
granted in December 2022 to these employees 
with vesting based on the achievement of a defined 
range of statutory EBITDA growth and relative Total 
Shareholder Return outcomes in FY25. This plan 
is not due to be tested until FY25 and as such no 
vesting has occurred. With respect to prior year LTI 
plans, 75% vesting has taken place on the FY20 
performance option plan and 149% vesting has taken 
place on the FY21 LTI Performance Rights plan as the 
performance hurdles for vesting were met based on 
the FY23 results. No vesting took place on the FY19 
Performance Option plan, and these Options will 
lapse as no further testing is permitted by the plan 
rules.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023“...this was a year where we made great 
progress in renewing our management team 
and operating model and working towards our 
ambition of being Australia’s leading financial 
services technology and innovation company.”

Looking Ahead  
to FY24

With the renewal of our management team and 
adoption of a new operating model in FY23, it is 
an opportune time to reconsider our remuneration 
framework for FY24 and ahead. We are focused 
on simplifying the remuneration framework and 
continuing to drive a performance culture across the 
organisation that aligns targets and rewards with 
shareholder interests.   

We are also committed as a Board and People 
Committee to continuously reviewing the 
effectiveness of our Remuneration Framework and I 
invite you to provide your feedback to either myself 
or Fiona directly.

Finally, while there is more to be done as we focus 
on our new chapter of growth and profitability, 
this was a year where we made great progress in 
renewing our management team and operating 
model and working towards our ambition of 
becoming the leading specialist payments solutions 
provider for Australian businesses. 

Thank you to the whole team for their considerable 
commitment and contribution through this 
challenging period. 

Yours sincerely

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 20232.  Remuneration governance

Tyro’s remuneration governance and framework is overseen by the People Committee (the Committee) as a formal 
committee of the Board. The Committee consists of four Non-executive Directors, with one performing the role of 
Chair. 

This Committee provides Tyro with a robust governance framework to ensure remuneration policies, practices and 
outcomes are reasonable and consistent with shareholder expectations. 

The Committee considers recommendations from the Management team in relation to all remuneration outcomes 
for employees, including KMP and senior executives, ahead of recommending to the Board for approval. 
These recommendations take into account shareholder feedback and advice from independent remuneration 
consultants. 

The principal responsibilities of the Committee are outlined in the People Committee Charter, available on the 
corporate governance page of the Group’s website: 

https://investors.tyro.com/investor-centre/?page=corporate-governance. 

Under the Committee Charter, the majority of Committee members must be independent non-executive directors 
and the Chair of the Committee must be an independent non-executive director. Currently, all members of the 
Committee (including the Chair of the Committee) are independent non-executive directors.

Details of members of the Committee and their background are included in the Directors’ Report on pages 91 to 
94.  

61

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023REMUNERATION REPORT2.1  Use of remuneration advisors
The People Committee engages independent remuneration advisors on an as-needs basis to provide information 
regarding market dynamics, trends and regulatory developments, specifically those impacting financial services 
companies. The People Committee and the Board consider this information along with other market insights to 
determine what would be the most appropriate recommendations to make for Tyro regarding remuneration.

In FY23, EY and PWC were engaged to provide remuneration and equity plan advice during discussions with third 
parties relating to a possible change of control transaction and were paid $25,000 for this work.   

The Board is satisfied that no remuneration recommendations (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001) were 
provided by external remuneration advisors during FY23.

2.2  Remuneration Report approval at 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM)
The Company received a vote of 95% in favour of the adoption of the 2022 remuneration report at the 2022 AGM 
(90% vote in favour for 2021 AGM).

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 20233.  Remuneration framework

3.1  Approach to remuneration

Tyro’s Remuneration Framework provided in Sections 3.2 to 3.5 of this Report.

Remuneration Principles

Align reward with strategic 
objectives.

Our remuneration framework aligns both the short-term and long-term rewards 
of employees and Executives with Tyro’s strategic goals and core values and 
linking variable pay outcomes to both Group and individual performance.

Attract, motivate and retain a 
highly skilled team.

Incentivise and reward high 
performance that delivers 
sustainable long-term value 
creation and reflects the 
interests of our shareholders 
as the owners of our business.

Our most important competitive advantage is our people and our values driven 
approach to ‘wowing’ the customer. To attract and retain our talented team, 
we target remuneration at levels that ensure we can access the limited and 
competitive talent pool to drive our business forward.

Our approach to remuneration also motivates team members to drive overall 
customer satisfaction and perform well in all market conditions and economic 
cycles.

We aim to generate strong alignment between our Team and Executive’s reward 
and shareholder outcomes through the structure of our short-term incentive plan 
and long-term incentive plan.

Be transparent, easy to 
understand.

Be transparent and easy to understand so that it’s clear how the Team’s 
performance relates to their rewards and positive outcomes for external 
stakeholders.

Promoting gender  
pay equality.

We are committed to equal pay for equal work and have recently introduced 
policies to review our gender pay equity on an annual basis. 

Each year we also complete the Workplace Gender Equality Agency gender 
equality program reporting. The findings from this annual report help us tailor our 
approach to ensure we’re achieving pay parity.

“In order to meet our commitment of ensuring

benchmarking approach to setting remuneration 
levels for our Non-executive Directors, Executive 
KMP and Executive Leadership Team.”

64

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 20233.2  Remuneration benchmarking and review
In order to meet our commitment of ensuring remuneration is market-competitive together with attracting world 
class talent, we adopt a benchmarking approach to setting remuneration levels for our Non-executive Directors, 
Executive KMP and Executive Leadership Team.

As a technology company with a banking licence, we do not have any direct ASX-listed peers of a similar size. 
As such, we use two comparator groups. The first comparator group is based on the market capitalisation of ASX 
listed companies with ASX rankings within a range of 20 above and 20 below (40 companies in total) that of Tyro at 
the time of benchmarking (excluding REITs and secondary ASX listings).

The second comparator group, used to validate the primary market capitalisation peer group, is based on financial 
services companies in the ASX300, and companies in the ASX300 Diversified Financials Index, excluding those 
that are above a market capitalisation of $5.0 billion and below that of $0.5 billion (excluding REITs, insurance 
companies, income trusts and secondary ASX listings). This group consists of 31 companies against which our 
remuneration is benchmarked.

We have taken into account the fall in our market capitalisation as part of the benchmarking review we undertake 
acknowledging that many of the companies against whom we benchmark have experienced similar falls in market 
capitalisation.

3.3  Design of FY23 STI Plan
The FY23 STI plan is designed to reward for achievement of annual goals aligned with Tyro’s strategy and reflecting 
key growth drivers to deliver returns for shareholders. The Plan provides the STI framework for the CEO, Executive 
KMP and XLT members and employees of the Group (Team). 

A number of changes were made to the FY23 STI design to better align the plan with the strategic objective of 
driving profitability and accountability for the execution and delivery of the strategy. The key changes made are as 
follows:

•  The performance hurdle relating to the financial component of the STI plan was changed from a hurdle based 
on gross profit growth in prior years to the achievement of normalised EBITDA (before share-based payments) 
targets as set by the People Committee at the start of the FY23 financial year.

•  A change was made relating to the overall weighting attached to the financial measure of the STI plan which 

has been reduced from 50% to 40%.

•  Furthermore, a change was made to the weighting of the individual key performance indicator (KPI) measure 

increasing in weighting from 10% to 20% of the overall STI plan.

•  Finally, a change was made to the split between equity and cash for the FY23 STI plan for Executive KMP and 

XLT to adjust upwards the equity component of the award from 25% previously to 66.7% of the award to be paid 
in equity as short-term and long-term rights. The remaining 33.3% is paid as cash. This change now aligns the 
allocation of the STI between rights and cash to all employees of Tyro.

The number of employees who will participate in the STI for FY23 is 543 (FY22: 571). 

In terms of the Executive KMP and XLT, the CEO has a target STI potential of 75% of FAR and a maximum 
opportunity of 100% of FAR. Excluding the CEO, a target STI potential of between 35% to 50% of Executive KMP 
fixed annual remuneration is available as an STI (between 50% to 75% at maximum). All other XLT (including team 
members who were previously members of the XLT (previous XLT)) are allocated a potential target incentive 
amount of between 15% and 55% of FAR.

The STI award for Executive KMP and the XLT is delivered 33.3% in cash and 66.7% in equity rights that vest as 
follows:

•  50% of equity rights vest in equal tranches over a 12-month period from grant with no performance hurdle and 

irrespective of continuous service. There is no holding lock post vesting. 

•  50% of equity rights vest in a single tranche 4 years from grant with no performance hurdle but subject to 

malus and clawback provisions and irrespective of continuous service.

For all other employees, the STI award is delivered 33.3% in cash and 66.7% in equity rights, vesting in equal 
tranches over a 12-month period with no holding lock post vesting of each tranche and irrespective of continuous 
service.

An analysis of how the FY23 STI is calculated, specifically how the financial incentive pool is created, and the 
measures and weighting applied to financial performance outcomes and customer performance outcomes is set 
out on the next page.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 20233.3.3 

Individual Key Performance Indicators for FY23 - 20% of target STI:

Individual KPIs are set for team members at the start of each financial year. KPIs focus on providing a 
measure of individual performance together with placing emphasis on the achievement of individual goals, 
the development of team members skills and expertise and challenging team members to achieve at their 
highest level.

These KPIs are assessed annually against a rating scale which informs the individual’s percentage allocation 
against target. For FY23, the average achievement for all employees came out at 64% of target.

3.3.4  Use of discretion:

Grant of an STI is at the discretion of the Board and is assessed following the conclusion of the relevant 
financial year. Whether an STI is granted will depend on satisfaction of various criteria, including individual 
performance against key performance indicators, customer performance outcomes and financial performance 
outcomes, as determined by the Board.

The Board retains the full discretion in relation to revising STI targets where material changes have occurred 
during the year. Furthermore, all equity granted in relation to STI awards are subject to malus provisions and 
the Board has the discretion to adjust or lapse/forfeit an award.

3.3.5  Tyro’s FY23 performance and link to FY23 STI: 

One of the key principles of Tyro’s remuneration framework is to align Executive KMP, XLT and employee 
remuneration outcomes with financial and customer performance. This section provides a summary of Tyro’s 
performance outcomes for FY23 and the link to remuneration.

Tyro uses EBITDA as a non-IFRS measure of business performance, which excludes the non-cash impact of share-based payments expense, share of losses 
from associates, and other significant one-off costs. Refer to the page 25 of the FY23 Investor Presentation for a reconciliation of normalised results to 
statutory results.
Free cash flow is calculated before changes in banking funds and timing differences relating to net scheme receivables. It is calculated as EBITDA before 
share-based payments adjusted for non-cash items in Tyro’s working capital movements, statutory adjustments (including rent payments) and capital 
expenditure including internally generated intangibles. Terminal capital expenditure includes both new and replacement terminals.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023REMUNERATION REPORT3.4  Design of FY23 LTI Plan
The FY23 LTI is designed to reward participants for their contributions towards achieving the Group’s strategic 
priorities orientated around delivering long term sustainable shareholder value creation. Following engagement 
with stakeholders on the FY22 LTI Plan, the Board refined the FY23 LTI Plan by amending the financial performance 
hurdles applicable to vesting for the plan. 50% of the plan award now vests based on the achievement of a 
statutory EBITDA growth performance hurdle from FY23 to FY25 (inclusive) while a new performance hurdle 
representing the remaining 50% of the plan award was added based on the achievement of a TSR ranking relative 
to the XTX index at 30 June 2025. This change was made to better align our LTI Plan with shareholder wealth 
creation in the medium to long term.

The FY23 LTI Plan is open to the CEO, the Executive KMP,  XLT and other nominated employees of Tyro and has 
been fulfilled via an issuance of performance rights. For FY23, there were 66 participants invited to participate in 
the plan (FY22: 77 participants).

There were no changes to the design of the plan in FY23, however the performance measures in place were amended 
from FY22 to focus on long-term shareholder wealth creation centred on an EBITDA profitability measure and a rTSR 
measure rather than only focusing on EBITDA, gross profit and revenue measures as used in prior years as Tyro moves 
to profitability and a focus on shareholder wealth creation.

3.4.1  Determination of the number of rights awarded under the LTI plan:

The number of performance rights to be issued to each participant was determined by reference to:

•  the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Tyro shares traded in the 10 trading days commencing on the 

day following the announcement of Tyro’s FY22 full year result; and

•  each participant’s prescribed LTI entitlement that falls within the participant’s Total Remuneration Opportunity 

(TRO) as approved under the remuneration framework. 

•  For FY23, the target and maximum LTI opportunity, based on a percentage of the employee’s Fixed Annual 

Remuneration (FAR) is:
o  100% at target and 200% at maximum for the CEO.
o  Between 30% and 50% at target and at maximum for the Executive KMP.
o  Between 15% to 40% at target and at maximum for the XLT (including previous members of the XLT).
o  Between 7.5% to 20% at target and at maximum for any other nominated employees.

The number of Performance Rights that qualify for exercise will depend on satisfaction of the following 
performance hurdles:

EBITDA hurdle (50% of the Award)

50% of a Participant’s total LTI entitlement will be subject to the satisfaction of an EBITDA hurdle with the vesting 
percentage determined by reference to Tyro’s statutory EBITDA compound annual growth rate (before share-
based payments) for the period 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025 as specified below:

FY19 LTI options vest in equal tranches of 25%, commencing on 1 May 2021 and ending on 1 May 2024..
Options granted in respect of FY19 must satisfy two performance hurdles to qualify for exercise:
•    25% compound gross revenue growth from 1 July 2018 to end of financial year of testing; and 
•    a positive Net Profit result (before tax and share-based expenses) for financial year of testing.
FY20 LTI options vest in equal tranches of 25%, commencing on 1 October 2021 and ending on 1 October 2024.
Options granted in respect of FY20 must satisfy two performance hurdles to qualify for exercise:
•    20% compound gross revenue growth from 1 July 2019 to end of financial year of testing; and 
•    a positive Net Profit result (before tax and share-based expenses) for financial year of testing.
The FY21 performance rights will vest subject to passing a ‘Gateway’ and then satisfying a prescribed ‘Performance Hurdle’ and will vest in one tranche after 
3 years (on 1 September 2023). The ‘Gateway’ that must be passed prior to testing the performance hurdle is defined as Tyro reporting a positive EBITDA 
(before share-based payments) result for the financial year immediately preceding the vesting date, namely FY23. If the ‘Gateway’ is passed, the number of 
performance rights that qualify for exercise will depend on the vesting percentage determined by reference Tyro’s compound gross profit growth rate during 
the vesting period (Performance Hurdle).
The number of Medipass performance rights that will vest will be determined by reference to the EBITDA (as set out in Tyro’s audited financial statements) 
for the combined Medipass and Tyro Health businesses in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2026.
The number of performance rights that will qualify for exercise will depend on the vesting percentage determined by reference to Tyro’s FY24 statutory 
EBITDA (which excludes share-based payment expenses).

5.3.1   Testing of FY19 performance options

Based on the fourth and final testing of the FY19 performance options, the compound gross revenue for the period 
1 July 2018 to 30 June 2023 was 24.3% with a net profit before tax and share-based payments of $13.6 million 
recorded.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023REMUNERATION REPORT6.  Statutory Executive KMP Remuneration

The following table provides the statutory remuneration outcomes for Executive KMP for FY23 and FY22 and is 
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. The statutory remuneration outcomes disclosed 
in this table differs from the Executive KMPs’ FY23 Total Remuneration Opportunity (TRO) and the elements of 
the remuneration framework outlined in Section 4 of this Report. Differences arise mainly due to the accounting 
treatment of long-term benefits (which include annual leave and long service leave) and share-based payments 
(performance rights, LEPRs, remuneration sacrifice rights and option plans). Disclosures include an accounting 
value for current year rights and all unvested option plan awards.

The Accounting Standards require remuneration in the form of equity awards to be expensed (and therefore 
included as remuneration) over the performance period of the option plan even though an Executive KMP may not 
realise any benefit from that award.

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 20237.  Non-executive Director Remuneration

Non-executive Directors receive a base fee, and where applicable, an additional fee in recognition of the higher 
workload and extra responsibilities resulting from Board Committee participation. Fees are based on peer market 
benchmarks and reviewed annually.

Non-executive Directors do not receive incentive payments, and following Tyro’s listing on the ASX on 6 December 
2019, they are no longer entitled to participate in any Tyro employee or Executive equity plans other than the 
remuneration sacrifice rights plan. They receive no non-monetary benefits and do not participate in any retirement 
benefit scheme, other than statutory superannuation contributions.

Under the ASX Listing Rules, the total amount or value of remuneration paid to Non-executive Directors in any year 
may not exceed the amount approved by shareholders at the Company’s general meeting. This amount has been 
fixed at $1,400,000 per annum, as approved by shareholders at Tyro’s 2019 annual general meeting.

As at the date of this report, the Non-executive Director base fee agreed to be paid by Tyro is $140,000 (FY22: 
$140,000) per annum before superannuation contributions. Non-executive Directors are also paid additional base 
fees for the following roles:

• 
• 

Chair of the Board: $70,000 per annum (for total remuneration of $210,000 per annum); and
Chair of a Board Committee: $20,000 per Committee Chair (for total remuneration of $160,000 per annum), 
not payable if the Committee Chair is also the Board Chair.

Non-executive Directors are not paid an additional fee for being a member of a Board Committee. In addition to 
the remuneration above, the Company will contribute statutory superannuation to a complying superannuation 
fund.

Remuneration is reviewed annually and any increase to it will be at the discretion of the Board but will not exceed 
the aggregate amount approved by Shareholders. The table below outlines the statutory remuneration paid to 
Non-executive Directors in FY23 in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

Refer to page 48 of the Directors’ Report for a summary of the Board meetings and Committee meetings that

Normalised other revenue and income is adjusted for the fair value gain of $4.0 million on the recognition of me&u as a financial asset.
Normalised gross profit is adjusted for Bendigo support fees of $1.0 million associated with transition of Bendigo merchants to the Tyro platform, the Bendigo gross profit share of $8.1 
million not deducted from statutory gross profit but deducted to calculate normalised gross profit and a fair value gain on the recognition of me&u as a financial asset.

accounting treatment of investments and one-off costs to implement the cost reduction program and any M&A related spend.

Notes to the financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

1.  General information and statement of accounting policies
The financial report of the Group was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 29 August 2023.

The Group is a for-profit company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), registered and domiciled in Australia. The 
nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.

The financial report includes the consolidated and standalone financial statements of Tyro Payments Limited and its controlled 
entities (together referred to as the Group). 

The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report are set out below.

(a)  Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board (AASB), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Interpretations as issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for loans, 
financial investments which have been measured at fair value and investments in associates which have been accounted for 
using the equity method.

A number of new accounting standards and amendments have been issued but are not yet effective, none of which have been 
early adopted by the Group in this financial report. These new standards and amendments, when applied in future periods, are 
not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

• 

• 

• 

• 

Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to AASB 112)

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to AASB 101)

Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to AASB 101 and AASB Practice Statement 2). 

Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to AASB 8). 

Similar categories of income and expenses have been grouped together. Prior year comparative information for these amounts, 
where necessary, has been reclassified to achieve consistency in disclosure with current financial year amounts and other 
disclosures.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise 
stated under the option available to the Group under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 
2016/191. The Group is an entity in which the instrument applies.

(b)  Going concern

The Directors consider the Group are able to pay their debts as and when they fall due, and therefore the Group are able to 
continue as a going concern.

(c)  Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

In applying the Group’s accounting policies, Management continually evaluates judgements, estimates and assumptions based 
on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on the Group. All judgements, 
estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to 
Management. Actual results may differ from judgements, estimates and assumptions. Significant judgements, estimates and 
assumptions made by Management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined as follows:

Share-based payments transactions - The Group recognises the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees (including 
Key Management Personnel) and other stakeholders by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on 
which they are granted. The valuation assumptions are detailed in Note 13. The equity-settled instruments are expensed using a 
linear or graded probability of vesting approach depending on the terms of the equity instruments.

Classification and valuation of investments - The Group classifies its investments in floating rate notes (FRNs) and equity 
securities where it does not have significant influence or control as Financial Investments – at Fair Value through Other 
Comprehensive Income (FVOCI), with movements in fair value recognised directly in equity. The fair value of listed shares has 
been determined by reference to published price quotations in an active market. Where no active market exists for a particular 
asset, the Group uses a valuation technique to arrive at the fair value. The Group prioritises the use of observable market 
inputs in the valuation of Level 3 fair valued investments and considers all reasonable sources of alternative information when 
incorporating unobservable inputs. Further details are as disclosed in Note 18.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting less impairment losses. See Note 1 (m) for 
further details.

108

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 20231.  General information and statement of accounting policies (continued)

(c)  Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Valuation of loans – The Group’s lending product differs from a conventional lending asset that accrues interest over time. 
Under the Group’s current terms, a merchant borrows a loan amount plus an upfront fee. The total loan plus fee amount does 
not change regardless of early or late repayment. As such, the product fails the “solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)
test” under IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and is therefore measured at fair value through the Statements of Comprehensive 
Income. 

The fair value of loans has been estimated using a valuation technique that converts forecasted cash flows to a present value 
amount (discounted cash flow method). The forecasted cash flows are actuarially determined using predictive models based 
partly on evidenced historical performance and expected repayment profiles. Inputs into the valuation model are detailed in 
Note 18.

Capitalisation of internally generated software - An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal 
project is recognised by the Group only when the following can be demonstrated: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; 

its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset; 

how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits; 

availability of resources to complete the development; and 

the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 

The Group commences amortising internally generated software projects from the point the asset is ready for use.

Impairment for intangibles - The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. Other intangible 
assets are reviewed at least annually to determine whether any indicators of impairment exist, and if necessary an impairment 
analysis is performed. Impairment testing requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units 
to which the goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are allocated. Refer to Note 12 (b) for the key 
assumptions used.

Estimation of useful lives of assets - The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been primarily based on historical 
experience. In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against their remaining 
useful lives. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary. In assessing whether the useful life of an 
intangible asset is finite or indefinite, Management use judgement in determining the period over which expected future 
benefits will be generated, also factoring in the market that the Group operates in and the longer term strategy for the 
Group. An impairment assessment is conducted and reviewed by Management at least annually as to whether indicators of 
impairment such as technical obsolescence exist.

Remediation provision - Determining the amount of provisioning required in respect of customer related refunds requires 
the exercise of significant judgement. This includes forming a view on a number of different estimates, including number of 
impacted customers, average compensation per customer and the associated costs required to complete the remediation 
activities. The appropriateness of underlying assumptions is reviewed on a regular basis against actual experience and other 
available evidence, and adjustments are made to the provision where required.

Long service leave - Entitlements that arise in respect of non-current long service leave have been measured at their present 
values of expected future payments. Long service leave is calculated based on assumptions and estimates of when employees 
will take leave and the prevailing wage rates at the time the leave will be taken. Long service leave also requires a prediction of 
the number of employees that will achieve entitlement to long service leave.

Taxation - Provisions for taxation require significant judgement with respect to outcomes that are uncertain. Deferred tax assets 
are recognised for deductible temporary differences and carried forward tax losses after consideration of:

• 

• 

likelihood of availability of future profits, including stress testing of forecasts, for utilisation of deferred tax assets; and

outcome of Continuity of Ownership Testing (and where applicable, the Similar Business Test) to support the recognition of 
any carried forward tax losses.

Management does not recognise deferred tax assets where utilisation is not considered probable.

Tyro-Bendigo Bank Alliance 

The Alliance has been agreed for a ten year period starting in June 2021. The trail commission payable on the existing customer 
network and future rollouts includes a guaranteed component for the first four years. An additional variable amount is payable 
based on gross profit achieved. The trail commission payable was initially measured at fair value in accordance with AASB 13 Fair 
Value Measurement when the customer relationship was obtained and is remeasured at amortised cost in accordance with AASB 
9 Financial Instruments to reflect actual and revised estimates of future gross profit.

Key assumptions in respect of estimating the valuation of the trail commission payable included:

• 

• 

• 

discount rates derived from similar observed rates for comparable assets that are traded in the market;

the merchant churn rate; and

probability weighted forecasts considering a high, mid and low forecast estimate prepared by management and approved 
by the Board.

109

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023FINANCIAL REPORT1.  General information and statement of accounting policies (continued)

(c)  Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

The associated intangible assets were recognised in accordance with AASB 138 Intangible Assets. They are carried at cost 
less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses and are reviewed annually for any indicator of 
impairments in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. The useful life of the acquired intangible assets is judgmental 
and reviewed annually by management with adjustments made where deemed necessary.

(d)  Basis of consolidation

(i) 

Business combinations

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets 
meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group. In determining whether a particular set of activities 
and assets is a business, the Group assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input 
and substantive process and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs.

The Group has an option to apply a ‘concentration test’ that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of 
activities and assets is not a business. The optional concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross 
assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.

The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. 
Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment (see Note 12(c)). Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit 
or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts 
are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition and subsequent changes in the fair value of 
the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

If share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree’s 
employees (acquiree’s awards), then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer’s replacement awards is included in measuring 
the consideration transferred in the business combination. This determination is based on the market-based measure of 
the replacement awards compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree’s awards and the extent to which the 
replacement awards relate to pre-combination services.

(ii)  Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, 
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. 
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control 
commences until the date on which control ceases.

(iii)  Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses (except for foreign currency transaction 
gains or losses) arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-
accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised 
losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

110

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 20231.  General information and statement of accounting policies (continued)

(e)  Current and non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. 
An asset is current when it is: 

• 
• 
• 

or 

• 

expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle; 
held primarily for the purpose of trading;
expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period;

cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after 
the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is current when: 

• 
• 
• 

or

• 

it is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;

there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The terms of the liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments 
do not affect its classification. 

The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

(f)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits and term deposits with an original maturity of three months 
or less from the date of acquisition.

(g)  Due from other financial institutions 

Includes term deposits with maturities greater than three months from the date of acquisition, and term deposits pledged 
to counterparties as collateral. These are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less 
allowance for expected credit losses, using the effective interest method. Amounts due from other financial institutions includes 
term deposits with maturities greater than three months from the date of acquisition and deposits pledged to counterparties as 
collateral. Refer to Note 19 (b) for details of deposits pledged as collateral.

(h)  Trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-day terms, are recognised initially at fair value, and subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for expected credit losses (ECL). Collectability of trade 
receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified.

The Group has applied the simplified approach to calculate ECL for trade receivables where a loss allowance is based on 
lifetime ECL at each reporting date. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to 
measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments 
with similar loss patterns (i.e. by customer type). The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of 
money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions 
and forecasts of future economic conditions.

(i)  Loans 

Loans to merchants are classified and measured at fair value with changes in the fair value being recognised in the Statements 
of Comprehensive Income. The loans are unsecured with an upfront (“unearned”) fee charged to the merchant. As the merchant 
receives daily settlements, a percentage is taken towards loan repayments. The loan repayment includes a portion which 
recognises the unearned fee in the Statements of Comprehensive Income as interest income. When the loan is uncollectible, it 
is written-off. Such write-offs of loans occur after all the necessary assessments for write-off procedures have been completed 
and the amount of the loss has been determined. Loan write-offs are disclosed as lending losses in the Statements of 
Comprehensive Income. Subsequent recoveries are recognised against these write-offs.

111

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023FINANCIAL REPORT1.  General information and statement of accounting policies (continued)

(j)  Prepayments 

Prepayments are recognised for amounts paid whereby goods have not transferred ownership to the Group or where services 
have not yet been provided. Upon receipt of goods or the service, the corresponding asset is recognised in the Statements of 
Financial Position or the expense is recognised in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.

(k) 

Inventories 

(i)  Cost and valuation 

The costs of purchasing inventories comprise the purchase price, import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently 
recoverable by the Group from the taxing authorities), and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the 
acquisition of finished goods, materials and services. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in 
determining the costs of purchase. Inventories are subsequently held at the lower of cost and their net realisable value. 
Impairment is assessed at least on an annual basis. Inventories are derecognised when the rights to benefits are transferred to a 
third party.

(ii)  

Impairment 

Management makes assessments of the net realisable value of inventory at least on an annual basis. The cost of inventory may 
not be recoverable where the inventory is damaged, wholly or partially obsolete, or if selling prices have declined. In accordance 
with AASB 102 Inventories, where the cost of inventory exceeds the net realisable value, inventory is written down to their net 
realisable value.

Net realisable value is an estimate, based on the most reliable evidence at the time, of the amount the inventories are expected 
to realise.

(l)  Financial investments 

Recognition and initial measurement
The classification of financial investments at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow 
characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. The Group initially measures financial assets held at 
amortised cost or debt instruments held at fair value through other comprehensive income at its fair value plus transaction 
costs. 

In order for a debt investment to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive 
income (OCI), it needs to give rise to cash flows that are SPPI on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred 
to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and 
measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Financial assets at fair value through profit or 
loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of 
profit or loss.  

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash 
flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial 
assets, or both. Financial investments classified and measured at fair value through OCI are held within a business model with 
the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling.

Subsequent measurement
For debt investments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals 
are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI. Upon 
derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognised in OCI is recycled to profit or loss.

For equity investments at fair value through OCI, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity 
instruments designated at fair value through OCI at initial recognition. Gains and losses on these financial assets are never 
recycled to profit or loss. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment. 
The Group elected to classify irrevocably its non-listed equity investments under this category.

Purchase and sale of investments are recognised on trade date - the date on which the Group becomes party to the 
contractual provisions of the investment.

(m)  Investment in associates

Associated companies are entities over which the Group has significant influence, but not control, generally accompanied by 
a shareholding giving rise to significant but not controlling voting rights. Investments in associated companies are accounted 
for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting less impairment losses, if any. Investments 
in associated companies are initially recognised at cost. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets 
given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the 
acquisition. Goodwill on associated companies represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of the associate over the Group’s 
share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the associate and is included in the carrying amount of the investments.

(n)  Property, plant and equipment 

(i)  Cost

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. The Group 
recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing parts when the cost is 
incurred, and the recognition criteria are met. When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying 
amount of the item of property, plant or equipment, as a replacement, provided that the recognition criteria are satisfied.

(ii)  Depreciation 

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each specific item of property, plant and 
equipment.

Estimated useful lives are as follows: 

PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:

Terminals 

Furniture and office equipment 

Computer equipment 

Leasehold improvements 

2023

3 years 

5 years 

3-4 years 

2022

3 years 

5 years 

4 years 

Remaining term of lease 

Remaining term of lease

The assets’ residual values, remaining useful lives and depreciation methods are reassessed and adjusted, if appropriate at each 
reporting date.

Impairment 

(iii) 
Management identifies applicable impairment indicators in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. The carrying values 
of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may 
not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the 
assets are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value 
less costs of disposal and its value in use.

(iv)  Derecognition and disposal

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to 
arise from continued use of the asset. Gains and losses on disposals are calculated as the difference between the net disposal 
proceeds and the asset’s carrying amount and are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year the asset is 
derecognised.

(o)  Leases 

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to 
control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

(i)  Group as a lessee 

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of 
low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right 
to use the underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets 
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available 
for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for 
any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial 
direct costs incurred, lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received and an 
estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is 
located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. Right-of-use assets 
are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

(ii)  Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease 
payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) 
less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to 
be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably 
certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group 
exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as 
expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

113

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023FINANCIAL REPORT1.  General information and statement of accounting policies (continued)

(o)  Leases (continued) 

(ii)  Lease liabilities (continued)

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement 
date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount 
of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the 
carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease 
payments (e.g. changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) 
or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

(iii)  Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets 
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of equipment (i.e. those leases that have 
a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease 
of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments 
on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(p) 

Intangible assets and goodwill 

(i) 

Software 

The Group continues to make significant investments in various projects to develop new products and enhance existing 
products’ capabilities. For certain projects, it is more probable that future economic benefits from the assets arising from 
the projects will flow to the Group and their expenditure can be measured reliably with enhancements in the Group’s data 
governance, system and reporting. Therefore, software development costs for those projects are recognised as intangible 
assets in the Statements of Financial Position in accordance with AASB 138 Intangible Assets.

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the intangible asset is carried at its cost less any 
accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Each development project will then be reviewed annually 
for any indicator of impairments in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets.

Acquired intangibles as part of the Medipass acquisition were valued using the replacement cost technique. This technique 
estimated the Fair Value as all costs necessary to construct a similar asset of equivalent utility at prices applicable at the time of 
reconstruction.

(ii)  Customer contracts and relationships
The customer contracts were acquired as part of the Tyro-Bendigo Bank Alliance and Medipass acquisitions. They are 
recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition and are subsequently amortised on a straight-line based on the timing of 
projected cash flows of the contracts over their estimated useful lives.

The useful life of finite intangible assets is judgmental and reviewed annually by management with adjustments made where 
deemed necessary. The following method is used in the calculation of amortisation:

INTANGIBLE ASSET 

Internally generated software 

Customer relationships 

(iii)  Goodwill 

AMORTISATION METHOD 

Straight line 

Straight line 

USEFUL LIFE 

Finite (3 - 5 years) 

Finite (7 - 10 years)

Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s 
interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost 
less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised and is tested annually for impairment.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit 
to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an 
impairment loss is recognised. 

(q)  Deferred tax asset 

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and 
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date (Note 4(c)).

The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current 
tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the 
same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax 
liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which 
significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

114

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 20231.  General information and statement of accounting policies (continued)

(r)  Deposits from customers 

Deposits from customers are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured 
at amortised cost. Interest expense on deposits is recognised in the Statements of Comprehensive Income using the effective 
interest method.

(s)  Trade and other payables 

Merchant payables arise when the Group has received monies from the relevant schemes and financial institutions that have 
not yet been settled with the merchant.

Payables to merchants are only recognised to the extent that a liability arises. This liability arises when the proceeds have been 
paid by the schemes and financial institutions and received by the Group.

Liabilities for trade and other payables are carried at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for 
goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Group.

Commissions payable to Bendigo Bank

The trail commission payable on the existing customer network and future rollouts includes an amount guaranteed by the 
Group and an additional variable amount based on revenue achieved. The trail commission payable is initially measured at fair 
value in accordance with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement when the customer relationship was obtained and remeasured in 
subsequent periods at amortised cost in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments to reflect actual and revised estimates 
of future gross profit. 

The key assumptions used in estimating the valuation of the trail commission payable can be found in Note 1(c).

(t)  Provisions and contingencies 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is 
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits may be required to settle the obligation and a reliable 
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the impact of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks 
specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a 
finance cost.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the Statements of Financial Position but are disclosed in the relevant notes to the 
financial statements. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or represent an existing liability in respect 
of which settlement is not probable or the amount cannot be reliably measured. Only when settlement becomes probable will a 
liability be recognised.

Management evaluates the risk of such transactions and estimates its potential loss from chargebacks based primarily on 
historical experience and other relevant factors. A provision is recognised in the general reserve for credit losses for merchant 
losses necessary to absorb chargebacks and other losses for merchant transactions that have been previously processed and 
on which revenues have been recorded.

(u)  Contributed equity 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are 
accounted in contributed equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds of issue.

(v)  General reserve for credit losses 

The Group appropriates for estimated future credit losses from chargebacks, with a general reserve for credit losses. The Group 
estimates the reserve by using a multiple of historical losses over a rolling 120 day period of transaction values. The general 
reserve for credit losses is then allocated as a separate reserve within equity.

The Group also appropriates for estimated future credit losses from loans to ensure the Group has sufficient capital to cover 
credit losses estimated to arise over the full life of the loans as required by APRA Prudential Standard APS 220 Credit Risk 
Management.

The methodology and assumptions used for estimating the general reserve for credit losses required are reviewed regularly. 

(w)  Revenue recognition 

Identify the contract with a customer; 
Identify separate performance obligations in the contract; 

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised in accordance with AASB 15 which introduced a single, principle-based 
five step recognition and measurement model. The five steps are: 
1. 
2. 
3.  Determine the transaction price; 
4.  Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligations identified in Step 2; and 
5.  Recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

115

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023FINANCIAL REPORT1.  General information and statement of accounting policies (continued)

(w)  Revenue recognition (continued)

The Group’s fee income from contracts with customers is derived primarily from the following sources: 

•  Merchant service fee income is generated from merchant customers for credit, debit and charge card acquiring services. 

Fees are charged to merchants depending on the type of transaction being performed based on a percentage of 
transaction value or on a fixed amount per transaction. Fees related to payment transactions are recognised at the 
time transactions are processed. Related interchange fees, which are collected from merchants and paid to credit 
institutions are recognised as an expense instead of netting-off against merchant service fee income in the Statements of 
Comprehensive Income; and
Revenue from Dynamic Currency Conversion transactions generated from merchants is calculated based on the individual 
value of the transactions and is recognised once the transaction has been processed.

• 

Terminal rental income generated from operating leases with merchants is recognised progressively based on a fixed monthly 
rental on terminals. There is no minimum rental period for merchants.

Interest income is recognised in the Statements of Comprehensive Income in accordance with AASB 9 using the effective 
interest method. The effective interest method measures the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocates the interest 
income over the relevant period using the effective interest which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash 
receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

(x)  Employee benefits 

Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. 
These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave.

Entitlements arising in respect of salaries and wages, annual leave and other employee benefits that are expected to be settled 
within one year have been measured at their nominal amounts. Employees are entitled to 20 days annual leave each year.

Entitlements that arise in respect of long service leave which are expected to be settled more than 12 months after the 
reporting date have been measured at their present values of expected future payments. Long service leave is calculated based 
on assumptions and estimates of when employees will take leave and the prevailing wage rates at the time the leave will be 
taken. Long service leave liability also requires a prediction of the number of employees that will achieve entitlement to long 
service leave. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate 
bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match as closely as possible to the estimated future cash outflows.

No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave to be taken in the future by 
all employees at the reporting date is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave.

(y)  Share-based payment transactions 

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees (including Key Management Personnel) via the employee 
share option plans, short term incentive plans and long term incentive plans, whereby employees render services in exchange 
for rights over the Company’s shares, as well as other stakeholders under contractual arrangements. The cost of these equity-
settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. 
The fair value of any options issuance is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with any corresponding increase in equity, over the period in 
which the employees or stakeholders become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period). 

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects the extent 
to which the vesting period has expired and the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, will 
ultimately vest. This opinion is based on the best available information at the reporting date. No adjustment is made for the 
likelihood of performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at 
grant date.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest. Details of the types of share-based payments and their 
respective terms and vesting conditions are disclosed in Note 13.

The Company also has share-based compensation benefits in the form of rights which are tied to performance conditions, 
as well as restricted rights which relate to remuneration sacrifice rights. The policy treatment is consistent with that for share 
options via the Employee Share Option Plan.

(z) 

Income taxes

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from 
or paid to the taxation authority. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or 
substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the Statement of 
Comprehensive Income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in 
which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Income taxes (continued)

Tax Consolidation

Tyro Payments Limited (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned Australian controlled subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) 
entered into a tax consolidated group on 1 July 2021. The head entity, Tyro Payments Limited and the controlled entities in 
the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the 
separate taxpayer within group approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate 
to members of the tax consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Tyro Payments Limited 
also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets assumed from controlled entities in the tax 
consolidated group. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits are only 
recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred 
tax asset can be utilised. At the balance date, no tax funding agreement has been entered into yet however the possibility of 
default is remote. 

(aa)    Cloud Computing arrangements

Cloud computing arrangements are service contracts providing the Group with the right to access software as a service (SaaS) 
over a contract period. Cost incurred to configure and customise application software in SaaS arrangements are recognised 
as an expense in Statement of Other Comprehensive Income when the Group does not have the ability to control and restrict 
access to the SaaS. A right to receive future access to the supplier’s software does not, at the contract commencement date, 
give the Group the power to obtain the future economic benefits flowing from the software itself and to restrict others’ access 
to those benefits.

The following outlines the accounting treatment of costs incurred in relation to SaaS arrangements:

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

COST

Non-distinct costs: Recognised as an 
operating expense over the term of the 
service contract

Distinct costs: Recognised as an operating 
expense as the service is received.

•  Fee for use of application software (licence fee)
•  Customisation costs

•  Configuration costs 
•  Data conversion and migration costs
•  Testing cost
•  Training costs

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

(ab)    Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of GST except for the following: 

•  when the GST incurred on the purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case 
the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and 

• 

trade receivables and trade payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority is included as part of other receivables or other 
payables in the Statements of Financial Position. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST. 
Cash flows are disclosed net of the amount of GST (unless stated otherwise) in the Statements of Cash Flows and the GST 
component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation 
authority is classified as part of operating cash flows.

(ac)    Foreign currency translation 

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the 
date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the spot rate of 
exchange ruling at the reporting date.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at their historic rates of exchange at their respective transaction dates.

(ad)    De-recognition of assets and liabilities 

Assets and liabilities are de-recognised from the Statements of Financial Position upon sale, maturity or settlement. The Group 
de-recognises scheme receivables against associated merchant payables as the risks and rewards are passed through in line 
with contractual obligations.

3.  Segment reporting

(a)  Description of segments and principal activities

For management purposes, the Group is organised into two operating segments, comprising Payments and Banking. 
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision 
maker, which is the CEO. The Group operates in one geographical segment being Australia. 

The corporate and other segment, which is not considered an operating segment of the Group, is used to reconcile the total 
segment results back to the consolidated results. It consists of other income and costs that fall outside the day-to-day 
operations of the Group. These include the Group’s Head Office, all employee benefits expenses and other operating expenses, 
all of which are recorded below Gross Profit.

The Group’s reportable segments under AASB 8 Operating Segments are as follows:

REPORTABLE SEGMENT PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Payments

Acquires electronic payment transactions from merchants. Revenue is primarily earned from fees 
charged for processing acquired transactions. Revenue is also earned from other fee income, terminal 
rental income and sales of terminal accessories. Direct expenses include scheme and interchange fees, 
integration, support and other fees and cost of terminal accessories sold.

Banking

Complementary banking services to merchants. Revenue is earned from fees charged on loans to 
merchants. Interest expense is incurred on merchant deposits.

8.  Leases 

(a)  Group as lessee – property lease

The Group entered into an agreement for a lease at 55 Market Street to January 2031, with an option to renew for a further 5 
years. As it is not reasonably certain that the option to renew will be exercised, the extension period has not been recognised.
The right-of-use asset for 55 Market Street was impaired during the year as the cost of an unoccupied level of the leased 
office is not expected to be recovered through operations. An expense of $1,184,000 was recognised in the Statement of 
Comprehensive Income. The Group had total cash outflow for leases of $1,897,000 in 2023 (FY22: $2,849,000). The Group also 
has additional short term leases for offices in Bendigo and Melbourne and a warehouse in Sydney.

Floating rate notes have been classified between current and non-current based on maturity date. The FRNs are held as 
available for sale instruments for liquidity purposes and qualify as eligible collateral for repurchase agreements with the Reserve 
Bank of Australia. 

meandu Australia holdings Pty Ltd (me&u) is a leading hospitality in-venue food ordering and payments app. The Group 
invested in a convertible note in me&u in March 2022. The convertible note incurred 8% interest for 6 months and was 
redeemed for cash on maturity date. In October 2022, Tyro’s equity investment in me&u has also reduced after me&u had 
an additional equity raising round in which Tyro did not participate. In accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments, Tyro’s 
investment in me&u is now being held as a financial asset. The impact of the initial recognition as a financial asset is taken to 
the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The subsequent changes in the fair value of the financial investment in me&u will be 
recognised in OCI.

(b)  Goodwill 

i) 

Allocation of goodwill 

The Group has allocated goodwill acquired through business combinations to the Tyro Health Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”). As 
the only CGU with non-amortising intangible asset, the Group determined the Tyro Health CGU to be the only CGU subject to 
an annual impairment test. The Group performed its annual impairment test in June 2023.

13,687

13,687

13,687

The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on “Value-In-Use” calculations using discounted cash flow projections 
based on financial budgets and forecasts covering a five-year period with an estimated terminal growth rate. The cash flows are 
discounted using a pre-tax discount rate reflecting an estimate of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). 

The Group determined that the carrying amount does not exceed the recoverable amount. No impairment of goodwill at 30 
June 2023 has been recorded. 

ii) 

Key assumptions and sensitivity

The cash flow projections which are used in determining any impairment require management to make significant estimates 
and judgements. Each of the assumptions is subject to significant judgement about future economic conditions and the 
ongoing development of industries in which the CGUs operate. Forecasted cashflows are risk-adjusted allowing for estimated 
changes in the business and the competitive trading environment.

Cash flow projections during the forecast period are based on forecast revenue growth arising from increasing total 
transactions volumes for Tyro Health. Forecast increases in gross margin and operating costs have been included to support 
the forecast growth in volumes. The pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections was 9.0% which reflects current 
market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the relevant segments in which the CGU operates. 
Terminal growth rate is 3.25% consistent with industry forecasts specific to the CGU.

The Group has completed sensitivity analysis over the Tyro Health CGU. The recoverable amount of the Tyro Health CGU is in 
excess of the carrying amounts in the respective CGUs. Any reasonable adverse change in key assumptions will not lead to an 
impairment. 

13.  Share-based payments
The Group provides benefits to employees (including Key Management Personnel (KMP)) from time to time including share-
based payments as remuneration for service. Additionally, the Company provides share-based payments to other stakeholders 
as part of contractual agreements.

(a)  Employee Share Option Plan

The Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) was established to grant options and rights over ordinary shares in the Company to 
employees or Directors who provide services to the Group. 

Options and rights granted pursuant to the ESOP may be exercised, in whole or part, subject to vesting terms and conditions as 
indicated below:

 TYPE OF OPTION

VESTING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Monthly linear vesting schedule

Options and rights granted will vest in proportion to the time that passes linearly 
during the vesting schedule, subject to the terms and conditions of each grant during 
the vesting period. The options and rights generally vest in equal amounts each 
month over the vesting period.

Annual linear vesting schedule

Options vest similarly to the monthly linear vesting schedule; except they vest in 
equal amounts annually over the vesting period.

Performance linear vesting schedule

Options and rights vest in equal amounts annually over the vesting period and are also 
subject to performance criteria.

Performance single vesting schedule Options and rights vest on a single vesting date and are subject to performance 

criteria.

Certain option and right grants and any shares issued on the exercise of those options and rights may be subject to a trading 
restriction for a minimum period based on the terms and conditions of each respective grant of options and rights. 

129

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023FINANCIAL REPORT 
13.  Share based payments (continued)

(a)  Employee Share Option Plan (continued)

Other relevant terms and conditions applicable to options and rights granted under the ESOP include: 

• 

• 
• 
• 

the term of each option or right grants ranges between a period of 1 year to 7 years from the date of grant as provided in 
the grant letter; 
each option or right entitles the holder to one ordinary fully paid share; 
all awards granted under the ESOP are equity-settled; and 
under the ESOP rules and subject to any requirements under law or the ASX listing rules, the Board, at its discretion, 
may determine that options and rights held by an employee or Director do not lapse on cessation of employment or 
Directorship and that the relevant holder of options has additional time to exercise their options. 

(b)  Fair value of options under the ESOP

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. 

A zero-dividend policy assumption is used for valuing all option grants. This is in line with the Company’s capital management 
policy and growth strategy.

Expected volatility used is the historical volatility of the Company’s estimated peer group. The expected volatility reflects the 
assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

There were 1,762,101 options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2023 (2022: 4,310,080).

The weighted average remaining contractual life for share options outstanding as at 30 June 2023 was 2 years (2022: 4 years).

The class action settlement is the amount payable by Tyro in accordance with the Court approved settlement of the class action relating to the terminal connectivity issue in 
January 2021. The settlement is recoverable from the Group’s insurer (Note 6).

Commissions payable to Bendigo Bank

In October 2020, the Group announced an alliance with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited (Bendigo Bank) for merchant 
acquiring services (Alliance). As part of the Alliance, Bendigo Bank agreed to transfer existing and refer potential customers to 
the Group for the provision of a co-branded merchant acquiring service and receive upfront consideration and commission 
from existing and newly referred Bendigo Bank business customers who use the Group’s merchant acquiring services.

The present value of the commission payable on existing customer network and future rollouts includes an amount guaranteed 
by the Group and an additional variable amount based on revenue achieved as follows:

Variable amount

Key assumptions in respect of estimating the variable amount can be found in Note 1(c).

The make good provision is for the costs of restoring the office space at 55 Market Street to its original condition at the 
conclusion of the lease. 

In 2021, the Group raised a provision for remediation of the terminal connectivity issue that occurred in January 2021. Total 
remediation payments during the year totaled $248,000 (30 June 2022: $5,041,000). Following the settlement of class action 
which is recoverable from the Group’s insurer as noted in Note 6 and Note 15, Tyro has released the remaining remediation 
provision of $3,719,000 that is not expected to be utilised due to the Court orders dismissing the class action proceedings.

institutions (ADIs) as described in Note 1(v). The Group applies an internal methodology to estimate the credit risk of its 
merchant customers and the maximum losses based upon a number of assumptions concerning the performance of 
merchants in relation to the Group’s credit risk grading system and actual experience.

18.  Financial risk management objectives, policies and processes
The Group’s principal financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, deposits due from other financial institutions, 
trade and other receivables, loans, financial investments, deposits, lease liabilities, trade payables and other liabilities. 

(i)  Risk management 

The Board has responsibility for setting the Group’s strategy and the Risk Management Framework (RMF). The RMF includes the 
Risk Management Strategy (RMS), the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS) and the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process 
(ICAAP). The RMS supports the Group in achieving its strategic priorities by clearly articulating the approach to managing 
risks aligned with the material risk types that are consistent with the RAS. The CEO and Management team are responsible for 
implementing the RMS, and for developing policies, controls, processes and procedures for identifying and managing risk. 

Various management committees, including the Executive Risk Committee (ERC), the Pricing Committee (PriceCo) and the 
Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO), ensure appropriate execution of the RMS is applied to the day-to-day 
operations and regularly report to the Board Risk Committee (BRC). 

(ii)  Risk controls 

Risks are identified, managed and controlled through the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) process. The RCSA is an 
assessment of key risks and controls which enable the business to understand its operational risk environment and facilitate 
decision-making, prioritisation, allocation of resources and effective governance. Business risks are controlled within tolerance 
levels approved by the Board through the RAS. 

(iii)  Internal audit 

The Group has an independent and adequately resourced Internal Audit function. The Internal Audit function provides 
independent assurance to the Board on the adequacy and effectiveness of the control environment and risk framework. 

(iv)  Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading 
to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its 
lending and investing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and 
financial investments in floating rate notes. 

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amounts of the financial assets at the reporting date. The 
Group’s credit risk management framework outlines the core values which govern its credit risk-taking activities and reflect the 
priorities established by the Board. 

The framework is used to develop underwriting standards and credit procedures which define the operating processes. Ongoing 
monitoring, reporting and review allows the Group to identify changes in credit quality at the client and portfolio levels and to 
take corrective actions in a timely manner. 

Credit losses from chargebacks 

In addition, the Group is subject to the risk of credit card losses via chargebacks. The maximum period the Group is potentially 
liable for such chargebacks is up to 540 days after the latter of the transaction date or expected delivery date. The Group 
manages credit risk associated with its merchant portfolio both at an individual and a portfolio level. 

It is the Group’s policy that all merchants are subject to credit verification procedures including an assessment of their 
independent credit rating, past behaviour and an overview of trading history.

As part of equity, a General Reserve for Credit Losses (GRCL) is maintained to cover losses due to uncollectible chargebacks 
that have not been specifically identified. The reserve is calculated based on internal methodology as described in Note 1(v). 
The Group does not hold any credit derivatives or collateral to offset its credit exposure. The Group’s exposure to bad debts 
from chargebacks is not significant at the reporting date. 

Credit losses from loans 

The Group is also subject to the risk of credit losses from its unsecured loan product and loan product operating under the 
Government SME guarantee scheme. The Group manages this risk in accordance with the Board approved Lending Credit Risk 
Policy. Responsibility for monitoring and management of this risk is delegated to the Chief Risk Officer (CRO). The CRO is also 
responsible for ensuring the Lending Credit Risk Policy is reviewed regularly and submitted to the BRC for endorsement and 
approval by the Board. 

To manage the risk of credit losses, various underwriting criteria are in place before a loan can be offered. A merchant must 
satisfy the onboarding requirements to be eligible for a loan offer, as well as providing a personal guarantee. Tyro only offers 
loans to merchants with a Tyro EFTPOS terminal.

The Group maintains a GRCL to also cover credit losses estimated but not certain to arise over the full life of the loans as 
described in Note 1(v).

Operational risk is the risk that arises from inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, human error or misconduct, or 
from external events. It includes, amongst other things, fraud, technology risk, model risk and outsourcing risk. 

The BRC is responsible for monitoring the operational risk profile, the performance of operational risk controls, and the 
development and ongoing review of operational risk policies.

18.  Financial risk management objectives, policies and processes (continued)

(vi)  Market risk 

Market risk is the potential loss of value or potential reduction in expected earnings resulting from movements in interest rates, 
foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and other prices. The Group’s balance sheet activities expose the profit and loss to 
earnings volatility. Ultimately, the aim of managing market risks is to stabilise earnings. Market risks comprise four types of risk: 
interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, commodity price risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk. The Group does not 
engage in financial market trading activities nor assume any foreign exchange, interest rate or other derivative positions and 
does not have a trading book. The Group does not undertake any hedging around the values of its financial instruments as any 
risk of loss is considered insignificant to the operations of the Group at this stage. 

Any floating rate notes that the Group holds are for investment or liquidity purposes and held in the normal course of business 
in line with investment and liquidity guidelines. 

Each component of market risk is detailed below as follows: 

(i) 

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes 
in market interest rates. The Group has exposure to interest rate risk primarily on its variable interest-bearing cash and cash 
equivalent balances, term deposits, floating rate notes, loans and variable deposits (bank accounts for businesses). 

Interest rate sensitivity analysis 

The following demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates. With all other variables held 
constant, the profit is affected as follows: 

An increase of 100 basis points for 12 months in the general cash rate (assuming other factors remain constant) will increase 
the Group’s profit and increase equity by $878,000 (2022: $790,000). A decrease of 100 basis points in the general cash rate 
decrease the Group’s profit and decrease equity by $878,000 (2022: $790,000).

The following table shows the Group’s financial assets and liabilities on which the interest rate sensitivity analysis has been 
performed.

(vi)  Market risk (continued)

(ii)  Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes 
in foreign exchange rates. 

The Group is not exposed to foreign currency risk in the settlement of merchant transactions as all monies received and paid 
are in Australian dollars. The Group’s settlement of fees with card schemes and the purchases of terminals and repairs from 
foreign suppliers are transacted in foreign currencies at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. At the reporting 
date the Group has US Dollar, Euro and British Pound Sterling exposures.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis 

The following demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the US dollar and Euro exchange rates, with all 
other variables held constant:

An appreciation of 15% of the US dollar and Euro compared to the Australian dollar (assuming other factors remain constant), 
will increase both the Group’s profit and equity by $177,000 (2022: $246,000). A depreciation of 15% of the US dollar and Euro 
compared to the Australian dollar will reduce both the Group’s profit and equity by $240,000 (2022: $182,000).

The following table shows the financial assets and liabilities on which the foreign currency sensitivity analysis has been 
performed:

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in 
market conditions (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk), for example from changes in equity 
prices and commodity prices.

(vii)  Capital Management 

The Group’s capital management objectives are to: 

•  maintain a sufficient level of capital above the regulatory minimum to provide a buffer against losses arising from 

unanticipated events, and allow the Group to continue as a going concern; and 

•  ensure that capital management is closely aligned with the Group’s business and strategic objectives. 

The Group manages capital adequacy according to the framework set out by the APRA Prudential Standards. 

APRA determines minimum prudential capital ratios that must be held by all ADIs. Accordingly, the Group is required to maintain 
a minimum prudential capital ratio on a Level 1 basis as determined by APRA. 

The Board considers the Group’s strategy, financial performance objectives, and other factors relating to the efficient 
management of capital in setting target ratios of capital above the regulatory required levels. These processes are formalised 
within the Group’s ICAAP. The Group operates under the specific capital requirements set by APRA. The Group has satisfied 
its minimum capital requirements throughout the 2023 financial year in the form of Tier 1 Capital which is the highest quality 
component of capital.

(viii) Liquidity risk 

The Group’s liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will have insufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due. 

The Group manages this risk by the Board approved liquidity framework. Responsibility for liquidity management is delegated 
to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CFO manages liquidity on a daily basis and submits 
regular reports to ALCO, and to the BRC at the seating of the BRC. The CFO is also responsible for monitoring and managing 
capital planning. The capital plan outlines triggers for additional funding should liquidity be required. The CRO provides 
oversight of the business’ adherence with the Liquidity Risk framework and reports to the BRC. The liquidity risk management 
framework models the Group’s ability to fund under both normal conditions and periods of stress. The capital plan and liquidity 
management are reviewed at least annually. At the reporting date, the Board of Directors determined that there was sufficient 
cash available to meet its financial liabilities and anticipated expenditure.

(ix)  Fair values

The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:

Level 1 

The fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2 

The fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the 
asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3 

The fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Quoted market price represents the fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets as at the reporting date 
without any deduction for transaction costs.

The table below shows the Group’s financial assets that are measured at fair value, or where not measured at fair value, their fair 
value equivalent. Management has assessed that for other financial assets and liabilities not disclosed in the table below, due to 
their short-term maturity or repricing profile, the carrying amount is an approximation of fair value.

18.  Financial risk management objectives, policies and processes (continued)

(ix)  Fair values (continued)

Floating rate notes
The floating rate notes invested in by the Group have a short-term repricing profile and are of high credit quality. The fair value 
of these floating rate notes is obtained from an independent third party pricing service that uses tradeable prices and quotes 
from active markets.

Loans

Loans are included in Level 3 due to one or more of the significant inputs used in determining the fair value being based on 
unobservable inputs. To determine the fair value, an income valuation approach is used. This technique converts forecasted 
cash flows to a present value amount (also known as a discounted cash flow method). Forecast cash flows are actuarially 
determined using predictive models based partly on evidenced historical performance and expected repayment profiles.

The fair value model is periodically reviewed, tested and refined as needed.

The fair value of loans requires estimation of:

• 
• 
• 

the expected future cash flows;
the expected timing of receipt of those cash flows; and
discount rates derived from similar observed rates for comparable assets that are traded in the market. 

The main inputs used in measuring the fair value of loans are as follows:

• 
• 
• 

• 
• 

loan balance – accepted principal and fee, outstanding principal and fee, and date of acceptance;
annual settlement amount – forecasted total annual settlements for loan customers;
current repayment percentage – percentage of daily settlements through the loan customers’ terminals that go towards 
loan repayments;
historical default and recovery information; and 
discount rates – market benchmarked discount rate which allows for a market level of default risk. 

The unobservable pricing inputs which determine fair value are based on:

• 
• 
• 

the pricing of loans including adjustments for credit risk, with the risk adjustments ranging between 30% and 36%;
historical data with respect to behavioural repayment patterns – generally ranging between 3 to 12 months;
default experience for loans deemed uncollectable and which are valued at Nil; and

These inputs directly affect the fair value of the loans. A sensitivity of a change of 10% in the value ascribed to credit risk 
for loans to merchants that are either not trading completely, or are on repayment holidays, will have an impact of between 
negative $112,000 (June 22: $47,000) and positive $112,000 (June 22: $47,000) to profit and loss.

Equity investments
At the reporting date, the Group held unlisted equity instruments in Paypa Plane and 100% of the share capital of Medipass 
which was acquired on 31 May 2021. Paypa Plane is valued using the equity accounting method as noted in Note 10.

Transfer between categories
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the financial year.

The Group has provided irrevocable standby letters of credit of $3,885,000 (2022: $3,811,000) secured through fixed charges 
over term deposits with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac Banking Corporation, to Mastercard International 
and Visa International. These are one-year arrangements that are subject to automatic renewal on a yearly basis. Mastercard 
International and Visa International, at their discretion, may increase the required amounts of the standby letters of credit upon 
written request to the Group. The required amounts of the standby letters of credit are dependent on Mastercard International’s 
and Visa International’s view of their risk exposure to the Group.

A bank guarantee in favour of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited is held with Westpac Banking Corporation to mitigate the 
default risk created by Bendigo settling funds to Alliance merchants that hold a settlement account with Bendigo ahead of 
funds receipt from Tyro. 

The bank guarantee in relation to office leases is mainly held in relation to the lease arrangement for the 55 Market Street 
office premises. The amount represents 6 months rent, outgoings and GST and is refundable on expiry of the lease agreement, 
subject to satisfactory vacation of the leased premises.

A bank guarantee in favour of National Australia Bank to guarantee a direct debit facility for Medipass Solutions Pty Ltd.

This includes fees in the capacity as the appointed auditor under APRA’s APS 310 Audit and Audit Related Matters.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm 
on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 
2001. 

The Directors are of the opinion that the services disclosed above do not compromise the external auditor’s independence for 
the following reasons:

•  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of 

the auditor; and 

•  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics 
for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing 
the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the 
Group or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

25.  Contingent Liabilities
In relation to the terminal connectivity issue in January 2021, a class action proceeding was filed against Tyro in October 2021 in 
the Federal Court of Australia on behalf of impacted customers. 

In February 2023, following a Court-ordered mediation, Tyro entered into a Settlement Deed relating to an in-principle 
settlement of the class action proceeding. On 19 May 2023, the Federal Court of Australia approved the settlement of the class 
action and on 19 June 2023, the court dismissed the proceedings (such dismissal being a bar of any future claim or proceeding 
except for any merchants that opted out of the proceedings). As at 30 June 2023, Tyro recognised a class action settlement 
payable of $5,000,000 (being the agreed settlement amount) (Note 15) which is to be paid by Tyro’s insurer (Note 6). As a result, 
no contingent liability remains at 30 June 2023. Tyro is also expected to recover $820,000 in costs relating to the terminal 
connectivity issue in January 2021 (Note 2). 

On 7 August 2023, the appeals period for the orders dismissing the class action lapsed. 

26.  Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
On 4 July 2023 Tyro Payments (Ben Alliance) Pty Ltd was lodged for deregistration.  On 27 July 2023 Medipass Solutions Pty Ltd 
legally changed its name to Tyro Health Pty Ltd.  

On 7 August 2023, the appeals period for the orders dismissing the class action relating to the January 2021 terminal 
connectivity issue lapsed. On 21 August 2023, the settlement amount was paid by the Group’s insurer.  

In the opinion of the Directors, other than the two matters noted above, there have been no matters or circumstances which 
have arisen between 30 June 2023 and the date of this report that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the 
operations of the Group, the result of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Tyro Payments Limited 

Report on the audit of the financial report 

Opinion 
We have audited the financial report of Tyro Payments Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries 
(collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 
30 June 2023, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of 
changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the 
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ 
declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including: 

a.  Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2023 

and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and 

b.  Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for opinion 
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial 
report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor 
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the 
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the 
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with 
the Code.  

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion. 

Key audit matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide 
a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit 
addressed the matter is provided in that context. 

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the 
financial report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit 
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of 
material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the 
procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the 
accompanying financial report.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As detailed in Note 1(c) of the financial report, the 
Group has a long-term merchant acquiring alliance 
with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited.  The 
consideration under the alliance contract included 
a contingent component based on future revenue 
that is recorded as a liability. The contingent 
consideration is required to be re-measured at 
each reporting date to reflect the Group’s 
estimate of the amount of further consideration it 
expects to pay. 

Given the value of the contingent consideration 
liability recorded and the judgement involved in 
measuring the liability, this was considered to be a 
key audit matter. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

•  Read relevant agreements to obtain an 
understanding of the key terms.  
•  Evaluated, with the involvement of our 

valuation experts, the methodology used by 
the Group to determine the value of the 
contingent consideration at reporting date, 
the underlying assumptions and estimates 
applied, and the mathematical accuracy of 
the supporting calculations. 
•  We considered the consistency of 

judgements and assumptions made with 
respect to other accounting estimates and 
models. 

•  Evaluated the financial performance of the 
alliance against forecasts on which the 
valuation of the contingent consideration is 
based. 

•  Assessed the adequacy of the related 
disclosures within the financial report 
regarding the contingent consideration.  

Recoverability of deferred tax assets 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

The financial statements include $16.5 million of 
deferred tax assets. The assessment of their 
recoverability was subject to significant 
judgements made by the Group in forecasting 
future taxable profits and determining the 
availability and expected timing of utilising the 
deferred tax assets against future taxable income 
in accordance with tax legislation. 

The judgements involve expected business growth 
which is dependent upon market and economic 
conditions and the ability of the Group to generate 
sufficient future taxable profits. 

Accordingly, this was considered to be a key audit 
matter. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

•  Assessed the mathematical accuracy of the 

Group’s deferred tax asset utilisation model.  

•  Agreed the amount of unused tax benefits 

carried forward as deferred tax assets to 
prior period lodged income tax returns.  
•  Evaluated the Group’s assumptions and 
estimates in relation to the likelihood of 
generating sufficient future taxable income 
based on most recent Board approved 
forecasts, prepared by the Group, principally 
by performing sensitivity analyses and 
evaluating and testing the key assumptions 
used to determine the amounts recognised.

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Disclosures relating to deferred tax assets are set 
out in in Notes 1(c) and 4. 

•  Considered the consistency of judgements 

and assumptions made with respect to other 
accounting estimates and models. 
•  Assessed the historical accuracy of the 

Group’s previous future taxable profit 
forecasts by comparing to actual outcomes.  

• 

Involved our taxation specialists in reviewing 
the Group’s assessment of their ability to 
utilise carry forward tax losses in accordance 
with income tax legislation. 

Revenue recognition – merchant service fees 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As detailed in Note 2 of the financial report, the 
Group generated $379.1 million in revenue from 
merchant service fees for the year ended 30 June 
2023. 

Given the importance of revenue to the users of 
the financial report, specifically as a key 
performance indicator for the Group and a key 
metric for senior management of the Group, this 
was considered to be a key audit matter. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

•  Understood the Group’s revenue accounting 

and assessed whether the Group’s 
accounting policies complied with the 
requirements of Australian Accounting 
Standards. 

•  Assessed the operating effectiveness of key 

controls over the recognition and 
measurement of revenue. 

•  For a sample of merchant service fee 
revenue transactions, we obtained 
supporting evidence such as customer 
contracts and transaction records to support 
the timing and value of revenue recognised.  

•  Analysed accounting entries impacting 

revenue that did not arise from the system-
generated reporting of underlying 
transactions. 

IT systems and controls over financial reporting 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

The Group’s operations and financial reporting 
systems are heavily dependent on IT systems, 
including automated accounting procedures and IT 
dependent manual controls. The Group’s controls 
over IT systems include: 

Our procedures included evaluating and testing the 
design and operating effectiveness of certain 
controls over the continued integrity of the IT 
systems that are relevant to financial reporting.

•  The framework of governance over IT 

systems; 

•  Controls over program development and 

changes; 

•  Controls over access to programs, data 

and IT operations; and 

•  Governance over generic and privileged 

user accounts. 

Given the reliance on the IT systems in the 
financial reporting process, we considered this to 
be a key audit matter. 

We also carried out specific tests, on a sample basis, 
of system functionality that was key to our audit 
approach in order to assess the accuracy of certain 
system calculations, the generation of certain 
reports and the operation of certain system enforced 
access controls.  Our IT specialists were involved in 
performing these procedures. 

Where we noted design or operating effectiveness 
matters relating to IT system controls relevant to our 
audit, we performed alternative audit procedures. 
We also considered mitigating controls in order to 
respond to the impact on our overall audit approach.  

Carrying value of goodwill 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As detailed in Note 12, the Group recorded $13.7 
million in goodwill as at 30 June 2023. Goodwill is 
tested annually for impairment and requires the 
Group to estimate the recoverable amount of the 
relevant cash-generating unit (CGU) to be 
determined. The key inputs and judgements 
involved in the impairment assessment includes: 

•  Determination of CGUs; 
•  Discount rates, terminal growth rates and 
revenue and expense assumptions used in 
the discounted cashflow models; and 

•  Considering the sensitivity of the 

impairment assessment to reasonable 
possible changes in key assumptions. 

Given the high degree of judgement and 
complexity in assessing the carrying value of 
goodwill, we considered this to be a key audit 
matter. 

Our audit procedures included the following: 

•  Assessed the Group’s determination of CGUs 
used in the impairment model, based on our 
understanding of the nature of the Group’s 
business and the economic environment in 
which it operates. 

•  Understood and evaluated the Group’s 

process for performing goodwill impairment 
assessments and the determination of any 
asset impairment outcomes. 

•  We involved our valuation specialists to 

assist in assessing the appropriateness of the 
impairment models including key inputs into 
the models such as the discount rates and 
growth rates. 

•  We tested the mathematical accuracy of the 

impairment models. 

•  We assessed whether cash flow forecasts 

incorporated in the impairment assessment 
were consistent with Board approved 
forecasts. 

•  We assessed the Group’s sensitivity analysis 
and evaluated whether any reasonably 
foreseeable change in assumptions could 
lead to an impairment.  

•  We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures 

in Note 12 of the financial report.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the Group’s 2023 annual report, but does not include the financial report and 
our auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report 
and our related assurance opinion. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report 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. 

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

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

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

► 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit 
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not 
detecting a material 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 that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED - ANNUAL REPORT 2023FINANCIAL REPORT 
 
Page 6

► Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

► Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to 
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in 
our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are 
inadequate, to modify our opinion. 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.

► Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 

disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

► Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or

business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are 
responsible 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, actions 
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report 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.
