AND MANAGING  
DIRECTOR’S REVIEW

NET PROFIT 
AFTER TAX UP

15%

VILLA WORLD HAS BEEN DEVELOPING LAND AND BUILDING 
QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HOMES FOR AUSTRALIAN FAMILIES FOR 
MORE THAN 30 YEARS. WE ARE A BRICKS AND MORTAR BUSINESS – 
AND MUCH MORE. WE ARE HELPING PEOPLE REACH HOME.

In May, the Board and Leadership Team launched  
a newly-adopted company Purpose and Beliefs,  
replacing the previous Mission, Vision and Values.  
This followed a year-long period of deliberation, taking 
in feedback from staff and various external business 
partners along the way.

Villa World’s continued success is demonstrated by 
our outstanding financial performance and emphasis 
on mastering our fundamentals. It has seen Villa World 
deliver a fifth consecutive year of double-digit profit 
growth along with consistent earnings value for our 
shareholders. 

Endorsement of the new Purpose and Beliefs delivered 
clarity and a strategic direction that unashamedly 
sharpens Villa World’s focus on our customers, our 
people and our community. This framework reflects  
our past success and will shape the Company’s future  
by providing strong beacons to guide decision making  
at all levels.

The Board is pleased to report a statutory net profit 
after tax of $43.6 million (34.4 cps), up 15% on the prior 
period’s result of $37.8 million (32.5 cps). This is at the 
top end of our upgraded guidance and demonstrates 
Villa World’s continued strength in the east coast 
residential market.

Revenue increased by 14% to $441.6 million in FY18, 
up from $386.8 million last year, reflecting the 
Company’s robust sales, strong delivery mindset 
through operational performance, efficient inventory 
management, acquisition astuteness and supported  
by solid technology and systems platforms.

Even more pleasing was the sales result for the year 
up 39% from 1,207 lots in FY17 to 1,678 sales this year. 
Villa World continues to benefit from the geographic 
diversity and substantially-sized developments in 
three state markets offering affordable value in major 
urban growth corridors. A strong marketing campaign 
highlighting the Company’s customer centricity and 
connection with our customer journey has continued to 
see more people calling Villa World home. Our in-house 
sales team continues to perform beyond expectations.

The Company’s position within the affordable to mid-
priced residential housing and land market provides a 
strong buffer against market challenges. We continue 
to meet the everyday housing needs of Australians, 
particularly first home buyers, owner-occupiers, 
domestic investors and builders, through consistent 
delivery of high quality, affordably-priced, completed 
designer homes. Villa World has also diversified its 
offering through land only product and joint ventures, 
increasing the Company’s market resilience.

Mark Jewell

For Villa World, home is much more than a place.  
It’s the essence of our business and our connection  
to our people, our customers and our community.

VILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 “Revenue increased by 14% to  
$441.6 million in FY18, up from 
$386.8 million last year, reflecting 
the Company’s robust sales...”

Our new purpose puts “home” at the centre of what we 
do and our core beliefs guide how we will achieve that. 

This is our pathway to strong and consistent financial 
results through the medium term, characterised by 
sustained through-the-cycle performance and astute 
capital management and allocation. This sustainable 
growth will be reflected in attractive yields for 
shareholders.

The Board is pleased to have declared a total of 18.5 
cents per share fully franked dividends in relation to the 
financial year ended 30 June 2018 - an interim dividend 
of 8.0 cents per share and a final dividend of 10.5 cents 
per share declared post balance date.

We remain confident in the sustainability of the  
dividend over the coming years.

The FY18 financial result and the consistent year-
on-year growth achieved over the past five years 
demonstrate that Villa World’s commitment to its core 
affordable house-and-land and land-only product is the 
right path. The Board has now turned its attention to 
the next phase in the Villa World journey, committing 
the company to stretch beyond good, to great. 

The Company’s Leadership Team and staff have been 
working together to embed the newly articulated 
beliefs and strive towards delivering on our purpose as 
part of everyday life at Villa World. Acknowledging the 
importance of our people is not new to Villa World. We 
continue to invest in our people, ensuring that we have 
the diverse leaders around the table to make the best 
decisions. Our commitment to developing the potential 
of our team was demonstrated this year through a 
number of internal promotions and appointments,  
and other capability development initiatives.

Similarly, the Board has emphasised the importance 
of a strengthened people and culture strategy and 
will continue to support safety, health and wellness 
initiatives. The Board and Leadership Team are 
committed to setting the cultural “tone from the top”  
in these important areas. 

Craig Treasure

As we move forward, the Board is also committed 
to best-fit environmental, social and governance 
frameworks including investment in a sustainability 
strategy to reflect the forward direction marked  
out in the new Villa World purpose. 

We are preparing for challenges and will embrace  
the opportunities presented in a changing world.  
We will draw on the innovative thinking of our team 
to embrace change and seek opportunities for smart 
growth. The Board acknowledges the senior executive 
team for their tremendous effort this year to achieve 
these outstanding results, and thanks all staff and 
the Company’s strong partner network for their 
contribution to Helping People Reach Home.

VILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018HEALTH, SAFETY  
AND WELLBEING

VILLA WORLD’S NEW PURPOSE STATEMENT, HELPING PEOPLE REACH HOME,  
IS SUPPORTED BY A COMMITMENT TO SIX CORE BELIEFS, DESIGNED TO ENSURE 
THAT THE COMPANY’S CULTURE IS MAINTAINED AND STRENGTHENED THROUGH 
ADHERENCE TO AGREED BEHAVIOURAL STANDARDS. 

It sets out our approach to ensuring a healthy and safe 
work environment for our workers. This commitment 
also extends to managing our compliance with 
regulations regarding the impacts that our business  
may have on the local community or environment. 

Within the HSE Due Diligence Framework, the HSE 
Leadership Committee meets quarterly to discuss:

•  detailed HSE reports
•  lead indicators (positive safety outcomes)
•  lag indicators (incidents and notices)
•  other health, safety and wellbeing initiatives.

During FY18, Villa World’s HSE Management 
System was certified under the Australian Standard 
4801 (Occupational Health and Safety Systems) 
and International Standard 14001 (Environmental 
Management Systems). 

At all levels, the Company continues to develop its 
strong commitment to a positive health, safety and 
environment culture, in line with our core beliefs and 
purpose of Helping People Reach Home.

Consistent with this approach, the Company adopted a 
Health and Wellbeing Policy during FY18 which commits 
to providing an environment in which staff have the 
opportunity to flourish, and which also contributes to 
organisational success and sustainability. The policy sets 
out the framework to promote and maintain employee 
health and wellbeing through workplace practices, and 
by encouraging participation in activities and programs 
which support that goal.

Among the policy commitments is the provision of 
information on healthy eating, fatigue management, 
exercise, stress management and mental health. Other 
incentives include corporate gym memberships, skin 
cancer checks, flu vaccinations and corporate rates for 
private health insurance.

The policy also outlines employee and manager 
responsibilities, acknowledging the importance of 
self-care and supporting colleagues to contribute 
to a healthier and more productive workplace. For 
employees, this includes consideration of health and 
wellbeing when completing work-related duties and  
at any time while representing Villa World.

It also encourages staff to identify any health and 
wellbeing issues, including talking to fellow employees 
about mental health issues. The policy promotes 
participation in fitness, health and wellbeing activities 
and events, or other social activities.

During FY18, staff participated in a range of health  
and wellbeing events and activities including Wear 
Red Day (supporting Health Research Australia); 
International Women’s Day; Australia’s Biggest  
Morning Tea (supporting the Cancer Council);  
Men’s Health Week; and Dry July.

The Directors and Senior Managers lead our Health, 
Safety and Environment (HSE) culture and understand 
their own HSE obligations by following the Villa World 
HSE Due Diligence Framework.

VILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 For Villa World, Reconciliation is a fundamental aspect 
of our purpose. We are one people. We share one home. 
We will play our part in helping all Australians to feel that 
they belong here together, and have the opportunity to 
reach their full potential for better living. 

Villa World is excited and proud to be taking the 
first steps on our Reconciliation path. We have been 
growing our understanding of the history and culture 
of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 
Importantly, this has included the incorporation of 
Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremonies at 
corporate events, and the first performance of a 
“Native Bee Dance” developed as a collaboration 
between Moondarewa Inc and the Nunukal Kunjeil 
Dancers of Stradbroke Island.

Villa World continues to work towards weaving 
Reconciliation through the fabric of our business. 
We see a future where every Australian proudly 
acknowledges and respects the deep connection of  
our First Peoples to this country, our one home. 

COMMUNITY

Villa World has a proud record of commitment to the 
community. In further recognition of the importance 
of community involvement, the Company will be 
developing a more unified approach in this area, 
including clear goals that align to corporate strategy.

Support and involvement in community activities during 
FY18 aligned closely with the Company’s Health, Safety 
and Wellbeing Policy approach and will be formalised 
further in FY19.

The MATES in Construction (MIC) program achieved a 
unique milestone this year, having completed 10 years 
of saving and turning lives around in the Australian 
construction industry.

Every year, 190 Australians working in the construction 
industry die by suicide. In response, MIC provides  
on-site development programs and support for workers 
through case management and a 24/7 help line.

During FY18, Villa World was a proud supporter of  
MIC. The Company held a golf day for our trade 
contractors and supplier partners, raising close 
to $40,000 for MIC. As well as highlighting the 
importance of workplace mental health and suicide 
prevention, the event provided Villa World with an 
opportunity to thank and acknowledge the importance 
of our strong partnerships with contractors and 
suppliers in Helping People Reach Home.

Mates in Construction Golf Day

ACCESS Community Services Limited works towards  
a cohesive community where everyone is valued and 
can fully participate in the social and economic life of 
the community.

This not-for-profit organisation helps migrants, refugees 
and disadvantaged individuals to gain employment and 
work experience.

Villa World engaged ACCESS's social enterprise to 
provide builders clean and silicone services as part of 
our “complete home, complete address” residential 
house-and-land product. This partnership has provided 
transformational opportunities for disadvantaged 
individuals who face significant barriers to entering the 
employment market.

The partnership was acknowledged by Queensland’s 
Minister for Employment and Small Business and 
Minister for Training and Skills Development, the 
Hon. Shannon Fentiman, MP, Member for Waterford, 
who said: “Villa World is setting a benchmark across 
corporate Queensland and I encourage other 
businesses to follow your lead.”

As a result of our continued sponsorship, the  
Gold Coast Hospital Foundation this year received a 
donation of $2500 every time a Gold Coast Hospital 
and Health Staff member purchased land at our nearby 
Arundel Springs project. The Company’s on-going 
contribution to the Foundation has also included the 
sponsorship of their annual Gala Awards for the past 
two years and the funding of a children’s book entitled 
'The Stripy Dachshund' by cancer patient Lisa Gilmer.

VILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018OPERATING  
FINANCIAL REVIEW

FINANCIAL RESULT

Flagship project releases across three states 
contributed to a fifth consecutive year of double-
digit growth for the Company, reporting a statutory 
net profit after tax of $43.6 million (34.4 cps) for the 
year to 30 June 2018, a 15% increase on the $37.8 
million (32.5 cps) in FY17. This result is at the top end of 
upgraded guidance of net profit after tax of between 
$42 million and $44 million.

REVENUE FROM LAND DEVELOPMENT, 
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING AND 
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS

Continued sales momentum combined with $175.7 
million1 of carried forward sales from FY17, and an 
outstanding delivery of land and housing resulted in 
1,2902 wholly owned accounting settlements in FY18 
(FY17: 1,116). As a result, $441.6 million (FY17: $386.8 
million) in revenue was recorded.

The revenue mix reflects the Company’s continued 
focus on its core capabilities in house and land, as well 
as strong land only settlements, particularly in Logan, 
the Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Melbourne growth 
corridors. House and land product generated 53% of 
revenue (FY17: 65%), with Queensland and New South 
Wales continuing as the main source of revenue at  
84% (FY17: 80%).

Smaller projects in South Morang, Victoria and 
Hope Island, Queensland were sold during the year, 
generating $27.1 million in revenue. Funds were 
redeployed into the delivery of significant projects in 
the growth corridors of Melbourne and the acquisition 
of a project in the Logan corridor.

Average revenue per lot was $322,500, down from 
$344,900 in the previous year, and is reflective of 
the product mix shifting to more land-only sales. The 
average revenue per house and land lot fell 2% to 
$425,400. The prior year benefitted from significant 
house and land settlements in the more affluent Bayside 
Brisbane region. Average revenue per land-only lot fell 
2% to $245,600 per lot, reflecting a large number of 
settlements of affordable land in Logan and South  
East Melbourne.

GROSS MARGIN

The reported gross margin for FY18 was $117.6 million 
or 26.6% (FY17: $106.3 million or 27.5%), ahead of the 
guidance range of 24%-26%. Strong margins were 
achieved at land only estates in Queensland and Victoria.

REVENUE DERIVED FROM EQUITY 
ACCOUNTED INVESTMENTS

During FY18 the Company continued to progress its 
strategy to grow development/project management 
income streams by deploying its management skills  
into joint venture arrangements. 

These ventures delivered $17.5 million in fee income 
during the reporting period (FY17: $5.4 million). This 
comprised of $11.1 million in development and project 
management fees, including the $7.3 million fee from 
the Wollert joint venture3. Further, the share of profit 
from equity accounted investments was $6.4 million 
(FY17: $3.0 million), related to strong land settlements 
from the Rochedale joint venture and initial land 
settlements from the Greenbank joint venture  
(Villa Green).

The Company anticipates that development/project 
management fees, and share of profit from equity 
accounted investments, will provide a positive and 
ongoing revenue stream for the business.

OTHER INCOME

Other income of $1.0 million (FY17: $0.8 million) was 
largely comprised of bank interest received and penalty 
interest on delayed settlements. 

1  Inclusive of GST.
2  1,290 settlements of Company owned lots (FY17: 1116), and 74 lots relating to 
joint ventures (FY17: 38), which are reflected in Share of Joint Venture Profits.

3  In 1H18, the Company entered into a joint venture with Ho Bee Land Limited 

for a site located in Wollert, Victoria. The Company will receive fees for 
development management, sales and marketing coordination, and has the 
potential to receive a performance fee.

The Company recorded 1,678 sales during FY18,  
up 39% on FY17 (1,207 lots). 

The average sales rate increased to 140 per month 
(FY17: 101 per month), with a strong full year 
contribution from flagship projects released in FY174 
and Lilium which was launched in early 2Q18. Several 
smaller projects5 sold well, approaching sellout, and 
initial sales were recorded from new flagship projects 
which commenced selling in 4Q186.

Queensland continued to perform very well, 
contributing 64% of sales (FY17: 71%). Pleasingly, the 
Company has experienced continued strength in its 
Victorian projects, contributing 33% of sales (FY17: 21%), 
with New South Wales making up the remaining 3% of 
sales (FY17: 8%). 

The Company’s strategy of targeting growth corridors 
continues to reap excellent results in Queensland, with 
strong sales in all south-east Queensland corridors and 
in Hervey Bay. In Victoria, the Company achieved very 
strong sales at its land only projects while its housing 
product continues to be well received in Sydney’s north-
west and south-west.

The Company maintains a solid position in all customer 
segments – the core being the retail market (comprising 
owner occupiers including first home buyers), as well as 
builders and predominantly local investors7.

The Company delivered 1,389 lots of land, up 24% on 
the 1,117 lots delivered in FY17. Housing operations 
delivered 540 homes across New South Wales, 
Queensland and Victoria (FY17: 548).

VILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018OPERATING FINANCIAL REVIEW CONT.

SALES CONTRACTS CARRIED FORWARD

ADOPTION OF AASB 15

At 30 June 2018, the Company carried forward 845 
sales contracts valued at $278.1 million8, with 32% of 
contracts (266 lots valued at $108.4 million) due to 
settle in 1H19, 21% of contracts (181 lots valued at $61.2 
million) in 2H19, with the balance of 47% of contracts 
(398 lots valued at $108.5 million) settling in FY20. 

The Company is carrying forward significant 
unconditional sales at its projects in Plumpton and  
Clyde with commencement of delivery impacted by 
delays with planning authorities. It is apparent that 
Victorian authorities are experiencing significant 
challenges flowing from an industry-wide peak in 
construction and the resolution of laws regarding 
infrastructure charges, resulting in abnormal approval 
delays. The Company expects to commence delivery 
of the first stages of Sienna Rise and Lilium in 1H19 
however future stages will be delayed into FY20. 

Earlier than expected resolution of approval delays 
may lead to delivery of these pre-sold stages in 2H19, 
bringing forward up to $65 million in carried forward 
sales at Sienna Rise (248 lots), and up to $39 million  
in carried forward sales at Lilium (134 lots). 

The Company will continue to monitor delivery 
commencements and will provide further guidance 
updates if necessary.

PROPERTY SALES AND MARKETING 
COSTS

The sales and marketing strategy introduced in 2015, 
which shifted focus onto the Villa World brand and 
targeted regional marketing campaigns, has continued to 
benefit both sales rates, and sales and marketing costs, 
which were 5.8% of revenue (FY17: 5.6% of revenue).

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

As at 30 June 2018, the Company had 155.4 full time 
equivalent employees (FY17: 146). Additional roles were 
added primarily in operations and marketing, due to  
the expansion of operations in NSW and the addition  
of new projects.

The full year salary contribution of the new employees 
hired in FY17, as well as the new employees hired in  
FY18 resulted in a 21% increase in staff costs year-on-
year. Employee costs represented 5.7% of revenue 
(FY17: 5.3%).

In FY18, the full year salary contribution of the new 
employees hired in FY18 as well as roles which may be 
added in FY19 (expected to be minimal), are expected  
to result in an increase in employee cost of 5 - 7%.

8  Represents gross sales price including GST.

12

Effective for reporting periods from 1 January 2018 the 
Company has reassessed its revenue recognition policy 
in accordance with the new standard which moves away 
from the risks and rewards of ownership towards a five 
step recognition model. The Company has assessed that 
land only and house and land contracts will be recognised 
at cash settlement which is when control is passed to the 
purchaser. This is a change in recognition for contracts 
entered into in Queensland and Victoria. A one off 
adjustment to retained earnings and other impacted 
accounts will be made on 1 July 2018. Further information 
of the adoption of the new standard refer to Note E5(h) 
New accounting standards and interpretations.

ASSETS AND NTA

Gross assets increased to $587.9 million at 30 June 
2018 from $577.7 million. The NTA per share increased 
to $2.44, prior to the declaration of the 10.5 cent fully 
franked dividend (FY17: $2.27, prior to the declaration of 
10.5 cent dividend).

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Following on from the Company’s capital repositioning 
in FY17 a very strong and sustainable balance sheet has 
been maintained and cash flow has been effectively 
managed across the portfolio.

During the year, the Company operated a $190 million 
club facility with ANZ and Westpac. In 1H18, the term of 
the $50 million Westpac facility was extended through 
to March 2021. In addition, a $10 million component of 
the ANZ facility was also extended through to October 
2020. The maturity of the $140 million ANZ facility is 
staggered, with $90 million maturing October 2020, 
$40 million extended through to October 2021 and  
$10 million to March 2022. 

At 30 June 2018, cash on hand was $12.6 million (30 
June 2017: $7.7 million) and unused capacity in the 
facility was $32.3 million (30 June 2017: $142.1 million). 
The Company has transitioned into a strong delivery 
phase. Consequently, gearing was 29.7% (12.9% as at 30 
June 2017), at the top end of Company’s gearing target 
of 15-30%. Net debt was $171.1 million.

The Company has on issue $50 million of Simple 
Corporate Bonds. The Bonds diversify the Company’s 
capital structure, extend the debt maturity and support 
growth objectives. The Bonds pay a variable interest 
rate of 4.75% margin above three month BBSW, and 
mature in April 2022.

Strong sales and settlements during the year generated 
$123.6 million in net cash flow from trading activities 
(FY17: $188.7 million). Strong cash flow, combined with 

VILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 headroom in the debt facility enabled $155.5 million 
(FY17: $123.3 million) in acquisitions to be settled. The 
land acquisition amount payable at 30 June 2018 was 
$33.7 million (FY17: $139.3 million). Since year end,  
$4.4 million has been paid, and the balance will be 
settled from operating cash flows, existing debt 
facilities and proceeds from third party settlements.

The Company expects cash outflow for acquisitions of 
$40 million to $60 million in FY19 funded from existing 
debt facilities and working capital, inclusive of $7 million 
in capital lite transactions. 

The average cost of debt during the year was 7.3%  
(FY17: 9.0%). A $90 million fixed interest rate swap 
of 3.69% remained in place through to 12 June 2018. 
To manage exposure to future interest rate risk, the 
Company has executed two interest rate caps totalling 
$50 million with a forward start date of 2 July 2018. 
These contracts will cap the Company’s interest rate  
at a maximum of 3.0% on $50 million until 2 July 2020,  
and $25 million thereafter until 4 July 2022. 

DIVIDEND 
(CPS)

18.5

DIVIDENDS

Shareholders have benefited from the strong financial 
performance during the year with the Directors 
declaring total dividends of 18.5 cps fully franked in 
relation to the 2018 financial year. An interim dividend 
of 8cps was paid in March 2018. A final dividend has 
been declared post year end of 10.5 cps and will be paid 
in September 2018. 

The full year dividend of 18.5 cps represents an annual 
payout of 53.8% of NPAT (FY17: 59%), which is within  
the Company’s stated dividend policy (payout ratio of 
50% - 75% of annual NPAT, paid semi-annually).

VILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018OPERATING FINANCIAL REVIEW CONT.

PORTFOLIO

During FY18, the Company announced that the 
Donnybrook Joint Venture had entered into a 
conditional contract to sell its remaining land parcel 
in Donnybrook, having previously entered into a 
conditional contract to sell its adjoining parcel. The 
Company’s share of revenue from these sales will 
be recognised progressively in line with the staged 
settlements, and will therefore be dependent on timing 
of Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) approval. The Company 
expects revenue from these staged sales to commence 
in 2H20. Income from these staged sales will underpin 
earnings from FY20 through to FY23.

Following the deployment of capital into acquisitions 
in FY17, the Company has been selective in acquiring 
projects to build the pipeline beyond FY19. In FY18, 
the Company acquired 701 lots, including significant 
land parcels in Logan and Plumpton, which will provide 
product continuity for several years in these  
strong markets.

The Company will continue its selective acquisition 
approach, with the intention of growing its well-
established position in South-East Queensland, in  
what it considers to be the most undervalued market 
on the east coast. Capital allocated to New South Wales 
will be reinvested in that state, enabling the Company 
to continue to grow its presence through further 
partnering. The Victorian land bank will be replenished, 
predominantly through partnerships and structured 
transactions.

As at 30 June 2018 the Company had a portfolio of 
6,191 lots (FY17: 7,832 lots), representing approximately 
4-5 years of sales.

THE VILLA WORLD STRATEGY

In May 2018, the Company finalised its new purpose and 
beliefs, replacing the Mission, Vision and Values. The new 
purpose, Helping People Reach Home, was adopted by 
the Leadership Team and endorsed by the Board after an 
extensive and inclusive process of embracing feedback 
from staff and other business partners.

14

VILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 For Villa World’s people, Helping People Reach Home 
means ensuring they feel “at home” by helping them 
develop their full potential while providing a safe, 
healthy and happy workplace.

For our customers, it means helping them find their 
dream home and making the process of buying that 
home easy.

For our community, it means we recognise the broader 
societal contribution Villa World can make to better 
living, through our commitment to corporate social 
responsibility, and the communities we create.

For our other external stakeholders, it captures our 
pride in the partnerships Villa World has forged with 
companies that share our beliefs and have found  
their home working with us.

This new purpose is supported by a commitment to  
core beliefs:

- Put people first 
- We do what we say  - Get it done
- Enjoy the ride 

- Make it easy

- Do it as one team

The purpose and beliefs are the foundation of the 
Company’s new Strategic Framework, currently being 
developed for the period 2018-2020. In addition to 
focusing on key operational fundamentals, the Company 
has identified other major drivers for future sustainable 
success including customer centricity, smart growth and 
strong governance and culture.

KEY RISKS

The Board is responsible for setting the overall risk 
culture of the business, and has adopted a Risk Appetite 
Statement. The Company has a risk management 
framework in place to identify, assess and manage key 
strategic, financial and operational risks.

While residential market conditions have generally 
remained buoyant the Company continues to prudently 
manage sales, development and finance risk, along 
with risks associated with general warranty claims. The 
Company continues to monitor government policies, 
including macroprudential regulation.

15

VILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018share of profit. Joint venture profits will primarily be 
from the Rochedale and Greenbank joint venture 
projects, with the Donnybrook and Wollert joint 
ventures to contribute from FY20.

Development / project management fees will continue 
to provide a continuing revenue stream, as the 
Company continues to pursue capital-efficient growth 
opportunities that provide a strong return on assets.

The FY19 gross margin is expected to be within the 
range of 24% to 26%.

GUIDANCE

The Company is targeting a statutory profit after 
tax of approximately $40 million in FY19, assuming 
general consumer confidence is maintained, interest 
rates remain low, consumer credit conditions do not 
deteriorate, and first home buyer grants remain in place. 
There remains a possibility that resolution of delays with 
planning authorities in Victoria may lead to delivery of 
revenue from certain projects in FY19 rather than FY20. 
The Company will update the market as necessary.

OPERATING FINANCIAL REVIEW CONT.

The Company offers well located land, and affordable 
to mid-priced housing in the growth corridors of east 
coast Australia, providing greater resilience to market 
cycles. Consumer confidence and credit availability 
will continue to influence sales. Economic conditions 
including interest rates, unemployment and wages 
directly impact consumer confidence. 

The Company has maintained a diversified portfolio 
and prudent gearing position assisted by structured 
acquisition deals and a product portfolio that minimises 
sales risk. The Company’s portfolio has well managed 
project-based risk. In most cases, development approvals 
are either in place prior to acquisitions, or residential use 
is allowed and approval risk is mitigated by appropriate 
due diligence. Risks associated with longer-dated 
projects, with the opportunity to add value through 
the planning process, are mitigated through partnering 
arrangements or appropriately structured acquisition 
terms. Production-based risk is further mitigated by 
the diversified portfolio, scalable business model, 
transparency on development costs and the experience 
of the Company’s development team.

The Company is increasing its focus on broader risks 
including environmental, social and reputational risks,  
as it recognises the growing importance of these 
matters to customers, investors and the community.

Warranty claims and potential litigation are inherent 
risks in the development and construction industry,  
and the Company makes general provision for such 
warranty claims (refer to Note B5 in the 2018  
financial statements). 

OUTLOOK 

The Company will continue to focus on operational 
delivery and cash settlement of carried forward sales. 
Sales are expected to remain strong, underpinned by 
full year contributions from eight flagship projects in 
sought-after residential corridors in Queensland (North 
Brisbane, Logan and Gold Coast) and Victoria (North, 
North-West and South-East Melbourne).

The Company continues to progress its strategy of 
growing joint venture arrangements. In FY19, these 
arrangements are expected to contribute in excess  
of $6 million to profit before tax comprising 
development / project management fees, and

MELBOURNE NORTH WEST

Melbourne’s North West corridor, centred around 
the Caroline Springs and Taylors Hill Town Centres, 
continues to experience consistent growth and housing 
demand. The area boasts easy freeway access to the 
CBD and is proving popular with growing families. 

In the nearby Plumpton area, the Company has a 
significant footprint with several projects underway 
or in planning. Following the sold-out success of 
Sienna, a 166-lot mixed land and homes development, 
neighbouring Sienna Rise is also nearly sold out with 
only one land stage remaining. This development 
provided the opportunity to offer a terrace house 
product which proved to be extremely popular, 
particularly among first home buyers influenced  
by the lower price point and quality product.

This success will be repeated at Sienna North, a land 
project with a first stage offering of traditional standard 
sized lots and the opportunity to offer smaller terrace 
homes in future stages. Construction of both Sienna 
Rise and Sienna North is expected to commence in FY19. 

During FY18 the Company entered into a development 
rights agreement over a 15ha site at Plumpton, close to 
Caroline Springs, which will deliver product diversity in 
the corridor through a 317-lot subdivision. 

The Company will also deliver its core house and land 
product at the 372-lot Emerson Green project, to be 
launched in FY19.

MELBOURNE NORTH 

Melbourne’s Northern corridor, with its proximity to 
Melbourne Airport and ease of access to the CBD, 
continues to attract strong interest from family 
buyers. Following successful projects at Greenvale, the 
Company’s presence in this market will be maintained 
with the sales release of the 289-lot Elyssia land-only 
project at Wollert, a joint venture project with Ho 
Bee Land. With lot prices starting under $300,000, 
this development is attracting strong leads and this 
is expected to intensify with the opening of the sales 
centre in September 2018.

During FY18, the Company announced that the 
Donnybrook Joint Venture had entered into a 
conditional contract to sell its remaining land parcel 

in Donnybrook, having previously entered into a

SOUTH WEST SYDNEY

The proposed Western Sydney Airport is driving growth 
and demand in this region. The new town of Oran Park 
is a major infrastructure development with a network of 
interconnected thoroughfares, open space and a variety 
of urban residential housing options.

The Company has strategically positioned itself in 
Oran Park with a variety of housing products and 
precincts. Concourse, comprising 61 homes close to 
the town centre, is under construction and selling. 
Its partner project, The Chase, will add a further 93 
townhomes to the Oran Park inventory. This project is 
being delivered through a development agreement with 
Greenfield Development Company that will see Villa 
World construct a combination of terraces and medium 
density homes. Aston, located within 200m of Oran 
Park Podium, a future park and train station, will feature 
33 designer townhomes ranging in size and style. 
Construction at this project has recently commenced.

NORTH WEST SYDNEY

Western Sydney remains one of Australia’s fastest 
growing residential corridors. The Hills Shire is centrally 
located in Sydney’s North West and is home to the Box 
Hill Growth Centre Precincts, a major growth area for 
the Sydney basin. With the new North West Metro Link 
currently under construction and due to open in 2019, 
Villa World projects in this market are well placed to  
take advantage of high demand.

LOGAN CITY

An estimated population the size of Cairns will ultimately 
occupy two largely rural areas of Logan City, including 
Villa World’s largest-ever Queensland project.

The flagship 1502-lot Covella community, at Greenbank, 
is starting to unfold on a 153-hectare semi-rural site in 
what has been tipped as South East Queensland’s new 
population and employment powerhouse region.

Covella’s unveiling in October came just weeks after 
Villa World launched its 300-lot Chambers Ridge 
project in neighbouring Park Ridge, and the launch  
late last year of the 714-lot Killara community at  
Logan Reserve.

The three Villa World projects are meeting rapid 
demand for affordable housing across the Logan 
corridor, particularly among first home buyers  
seeking value and lifestyle options.

Chambers Ridge will comprise three and four-bedroom 
turnkey homes, surrounding a central park. Killara has 
become Villa World’s fastest selling Queensland project 
with more than 280 sales since launch.

Bushland-fringed Covella will be developed in 27 stages 
over the next seven years. It comprises 1,502 lots and 
will eventually be home to 4000 residents with a diverse 

24

range of housing and lifestyle options on lots from 
300sqm to 2000sqm.

The three Logan communities promote active and 
healthy lifestyles with the provision of significant green 
space, parkland and recreational facilities including bike 
and walking paths, playgrounds and barbecue areas.

These amenities, and the proximity to major retail and 
transport infrastructure, are attracting strong support 
from building partners as well as retail customers.

During FY18 the Company acquired several sites at 
Logan Reserve, near its Chambers Ridge project,  
which will deliver an estimated 250-lots.

GOLD COAST

The Commonwealth Games infrastructure legacy 
is delivering benefits for Villa World’s Gold Coast 
projects. The Company’s most significant project in the 
central Gold Coast in several years, Arundel Springs, is 
recording strong sales buoyed by the prestige parkland 
address beside the protected Coombabah Lakelands 
Conservation Area.

The 391-lot project offers premium homesites plus 
parks, walking and cycling tracks, exercise and play 
zones and lush landscapes. Eighty five townhomes  
will be released during FY19.

BRISBANE NORTH

Brisbane North has proven a highly successful market 
for the Company, with strong brand recognition driving 
continued demand for Villa World homes and land.

Astute land acquisitions in identified growth areas have 
ensured continuance of supply for the next five years 
and beyond with approvals in place and construction 
commenced in the established residential suburb of 
Strathpine. This new signature address in the Brisbane 
North region, The Meadows, will deliver 393 family  
sized designer homes predominantly for the owner-
occupier market.

Also in this market is a 291-lot land project under 
planning in Upper Caboolture, close to the Caboolture 
River and a short drive west of the Morayfield retail 
centre. An additional 450 lots in the neighbouring 
suburb of Bellmere will contribute to sales in FY21 and 
ensure the Company’s continued supply in this market 
for the medium term.

Silvan Rise, at Dakabin, just five minutes from North 
Lakes, offers 109 designer homes and is expected to sell 
out early in FY19. The affordable homes at Emerald Park, 
Burpengary, attracted strong interest and sold out in 
FY18. The Company has acquired a neighbouring parcel, 
and will deliver 88 affordable homes.

DIRECTORS’ REPORTVILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018ANNUAL STATEMENT BY THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE CHAIR

The Villa World Board acknowledges that Shareholders 
want remuneration settings that achieve two things: 
drive consistent, year-on-year performance, and 
motivate long-term value creation. In combination, 
these elements contribute to sustainable, consistent 
performance now and into the future.

Of equal importance is our demonstration of clear 
linkages between the remuneration setting and the 
Company strategy and culture. Alignment with culture, 
motivation and strategic goals will be brought further 
into focus as the Company moves forward with a new 
purpose, beliefs and strategic priorities.

Pay for performance FY18

Short-term incentives

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee 
(the Committee) noted Villa World’s FY18 financial 
performance, with a Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of 
$43.6 million, up 15% on FY17’s result of $37.8 million.

The Villa World Short-Term Incentive (STI) plan subjects 
a meaningful proportion of executives’ remuneration 
based on the achievement of performance measures 
linked to the Company’s annual business objectives 
including a range of strategic initiatives, people and 
culture development and the achievement of financial 
results, including Earnings Per Share (EPS), gearing  
and gross margin. 

The EPS result for FY18 was 34.4 cps, an increase of 
5.8% on EPS for the previous period (FY17: 32.5 cps). 

Targets for individual performance measures are 
not disclosed as some are commercially sensitive. 
Executives achieved different outcomes in regard to 
their own specific objectives. Encouragingly, all Key 
Management Personnel (KMP) delivered in the top  
half of the performance target range, contributing  
to continued strong year-on-year financial results.

Long-term incentives 

The Villa World Long-Term Incentive plan (LTIP) has 
been effective in ensuring alignment between the 
performance of eligible executives to long-term overall 
company performance. This is an important mechanism 
to drive the Company’s employee ownership culture 
as executives acquire shares through the vesting of 
successive performance rights granted under the 
LTIP. Performance measures are based on relative 
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on Assets 
(ROA). Explanations of the TSR and ROA calculations 
are provided in the Remuneration Report, along with 
performance rights granted under the LTIP during 
FY18. The number and value of performance rights  
held by executives is disclosed within the report.

Subsequent to year-end, the Board has tested the 
extent to which performance conditions were  
satisfied as at 30 June 2018 for the FY16 LTIP  
allocation to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and 
Chief Operating Officer (COO). Consequently, for  
the FY16 LTIP allocation to the CEO and COO, the 
Board has determined that approximately 83% of  
those performance rights will vest. Performance  
rights issued to the former Chief Financial Officer 
(CFO) were forfeited at resignation. 

Key Management Personnel

The Committee, with the support of the Board and  
with Managing Director and CEO Craig Treasure, 
continued to focus on building Villa World’s leadership 
capability. The appointment of Michael Vinodolac  
as COO (previously General Manager Operations 
and an existing KMP) and Lorelei Nieves as CFO 
demonstrates the Company’s long-term strategy 
of growing the diverse capability potential from 
within the business. Lorelei Nieves was appointed in 
April 2018 and recognised as part of the KMP with 
remuneration reflective of opportunities for future 
development in the role. 

Employee engagement

The Committee acknowledges the correlation between 
highly engaged employees and a positive culture 
delivering strong financial returns. The Villa World STI 
plan includes a range of metrics focused on developing 
leadership and team capability, identifying and retaining 
key talent and promoting diversity across the business. 

In addition, the Company continues to offer eligible 
employees the opportunity to purchase Villa World 
shares using their pre-tax salary, to a value of $5,000 
per annum. This plan offers employees at all levels 
an opportunity to become a current shareholder, 
promoting increased motivation to deliver shareholder 
value and be rewarded for their contribution towards 
the long-term success of Villa World. 

LOOKING FORWARD TO FY19

The Committee will continue its efforts to encourage 
an open and constructive dialogue with Shareholders 
and their representatives. We remain conscious that 
the executive remuneration landscape is evolving and 
we will continue to consult with Shareholders on any 
material changes to the Villa World remuneration  
policy or its implementation. 

For FY19, the Committee has reduced the number 
of STI measures for KMP to focus attention on smart 
growth opportunities, mastering the fundamentals and 
“do it differently, do it better” in order to continue to 
drive long-term sustainability. This also includes a range 

38

DIRECTORS’ REPORTVILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 of people and customer-centric metrics focused on 
cementing a purpose-led organisation.

fostering a pool of succession candidates as Villa World 
continues Helping People Reach Home.

Further consideration of the LTI approach, including 
additional stakeholder engagement, will be undertaken 
in FY19.

The Committee expects to continue to play an active 
governance role through remuneration alignment 
as a purpose-led organisation as we contribute to 
transforming the Company to move forward with 
its new purpose and beliefs. We will maintain our 
investment in leadership development, creating 
pathways for high-potential employees and 

The Committee thanks shareholder representatives 
and advisers for their feedback and suggestions to 
improve transparency and readability. We trust that we 
have produced an improved Remuneration Report that 
is useful and informative.

DIRECTORS’ REPORTVILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 REMUNERATION REPORT 2018 (AUDITED)

SECTION A: 

INTRODUCTION

The Villa World Limited Board is pleased to present the Remuneration Report for FY18.

The Board is committed to clear and transparent communication of remuneration arrangements. As in previous 
years, the approach to remuneration remains firmly aligned to delivery against Company strategy and creating 
sustained growth in shareholder value.

The Company’s remuneration strategy, policies and practices are designed to attract and retain the best people 
and reward employees for supporting Villa World’s strategic and operational objectives. Remuneration levels are 
competitive with executives in comparable companies and roles, and regularly reviewed against performance 
measures and targets.

This report is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (the Act) and its 
regulations. Information has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Act.

SECTION B:  WHO IS COVERED BY THIS REPORT?

This report outlines remuneration arrangements in place for Key Management Personnel (KMP) which comprises all 
Directors (executive and non-executive) and other members of the Villa World Executive who have authority and 
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company.

SECTION C:  REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK AND LINK TO PERFORMANCE

Villa World’s remuneration framework links executive earnings to financial results achieved, while also rewarding 
executives for creating longer-term shareholder value. 

Executive performance is acknowledged within a Short-Term Incentive (STI) structure to improve key financial results 
year-on-year and are rewarded according to their achievements against pre-determined Key Performance Indicators 
(KPIs) that are both measurable and outcome-based. Non-financial targets are aligned to core values (including safety 
and sustainability) and key strategic and growth objectives. A significant proportion of total remuneration potential is 
aligned to long-term performance related elements consistent with the Company’s business strategy. 

This combination is designed to attract, retain and motivate executives based on their current skills and experience,  
as well as their continuous capability development. This in turn encourages a strong focus on performance,  
supporting the delivery of outstanding returns to shareholders and aligning executive and shareholder interests 
through share ownership.

Long-Term 
Incentive (LTI) 
A deferred 
equity award 
of conditional 
rights subject 
to performance 
conditions 
measured over 
a three year 
performance 
period.

Consideration is given to the scope of each 
individual’s role and their level of knowledge,  
skills and expertise.

STI performance criteria are set by reference to 
financial and strategic measures and individual 
performance targets relevant to the specific 
position. 
‘Gateway’ for achieving STI 
- minimum Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) threshold 
performance level that must be achieved before 
any STI is payable. 
- the Company must promote and maintain 
certification of the Health Safety Environment 
(HSE) Management System under the Australian 
Standards for safety and international standards 
for environment. 
Financial measures - include EPS, gross margin 
and gearing level and reflect the alignment of 
business strategy to create sustainable value for 
security holders. 
Strategic measures - develop a framework 
that is brand, customer and people focused 
while supporting technology, innovation and 
sustainability. 
People and culture measures - focus on 
developing leadership and general capability and 
identifying and retaining key talent and promoting 
diversity across the business. 
Individual performance objectives - aligned to 
strategic objectives.

Performance conditions which must be satisfied 
before the conditional right vests include: 
Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR)  
 - minimum threshold is 50th percentile. 
 - represents 75% of LTI allocation. 
Return On Asset (ROA) 
 - minimum threshold is 12%. 
 - represents 25% of LTI allocation. 
The performance conditions are independent  
and tested separately. Performance measures  
are detailed in Section G(a)(i).

Set to attract, retain and motivate the 
right talent to deliver on strategy and 
contibute to the Company’s financial and 
operational performance. 

For executives who are new to their 
roles, the aim is to set fixed remuneration 
at relatively modest levels compared to 
their peers and to progressively increase 
levels as they gain experience and prove 
themselves in their roles. In this way 
fixed remuneration is linked to individual 
performance and effectiveness.

Performance conditions are designed 
to support the financial and strategic 
direction of the Company (the 
achievement of which is intended to 
translate through to shareholder return), 
and are clearly defined and measureable. 

A large proportion of outcomes are 
subject to earnings targets of the 
Company. Other financial targets 
ensure strong operational discipline is 
maintained.

Non-financial targets are aligned to  
core values and key strategic and  
growth objectives.

The Board has discretion to adjust STI 
outcomes up or down to ensure that 
individual outcomes are appropriate and 
are aligned with the Company’s values.

Allocation of performance rights 
encourages executives to have a 
long-term view. The performance 
rights are restricted and subject to 
risk of forfeiture during the vesting/
performance periods.

The performance conditions are 
designed to encourage executives to 
focus on the key performance drivers 
which underpin sustainable growth in 
Shareholder value.

SECTION E:  FIXED ANNUAL REMUNERATION (FAR) PERFORMANCE MEASURES  

AND OUTCOMES FOR FY18

(a)  Performance measures

Executive salaries are reviewed and revised as appropriate to reflect additional responsibilities, alignment to  
market as well as continuous capability development. Executive FAR is tested regularly for market competitiveness 
by reference to appropriate independent and externally sourced comparable benchmark information. This includes 
benchmarking against comparable ASX-listed companies, and based on a range of size criteria including market 
capitalisation, taking into account an executive’s responsibilities, performance, qualifications, experience and 
geographic location.

Any adjustments to executive KMP remuneration requires approval by the Board based on Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee (RNC) and CEO/MD recommendations. The CEO/MD does not participate in his own  
remuneration appraisal.

(b)  Performance outcomes

The CEO/MD’s base salary was increased by 4.3% during FY18, aligned with the success of the Company’s 
commercial and financial performance in FY17. Executives received increases (~3% - 6%) in FAR in recognition of 
high performance, increased responsibilities, changes in roles and delivery of business strategy. These increases 
ensured competitive compensation in relation to industry peers.

SECTION F:  SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE (STI) PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND  

OUTCOMES FOR FY18

(a)  Performance measures

The STI plan places a meaningful proportion of executives’ remuneration at risk to be delivered based on the 
achievement of performance measures linked to the Company’s annual business objectives.

The structure of STI performance measures for executives in FY18 is determined by the Board at the start of 
the financial year, with performance assessed against each measure at the end of the year. Actual STI awards can 
range from 0 - 40% of FAR however the Board has discretion to pay over and above these amounts. A sliding 
scale element is incorporated into the relevant performance measures to motivate executives to outperform base 
targets set. Table C summarises the relevant executive performance measures.

Two performance gateways must be achieved in order for executives to attain their target STI. Firstly, Company 
NPAT must be at least 80% of target. This was achieved for the year to 30 June 2018. Figure (ii) below highlights  
the consistently strong growth in NPAT achieved during the past five years.

(b)  Performance outcomes

(i)  Financial performance

To achieve the second hurdle, the Company must 
promote and maintain certification of the Health  
Safety and Environment (HSE) Management System 
under the Australian Standards for safety and 
International Standard for environment. The nature of 
the Company’s business demands a strong focus on 
safety and sustainable performance improvement each 
and every year. The role that safety plays in supporting 
Company culture is core to business success and to 
the way that the Company work with and value our 
business partners and customers. During FY18 the 
Company obtained two levels of certification due to the 
strong cultural focus on HSE; Australian Standard 4801 
Occupational Health and Safety Management System 
and ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems.

The overall level of executive compensation takes into account the performance of the Company. A significant 
portion of the STI outcome for each executive is based on the achievement of financial results which include 
earnings per share (EPS), gearing and gross margin. The combination of the financial measures and the assessment 
of the overall financial health of the business ensures that Executives are rewarded for decisions and outcomes that 
deliver results in the short-term but that are also sustainable (including consideration of the Board Risk Appetite) 
and in the long-term interests of the Shareholders.

Strategic Initiatives are focused on developing a framework that is brand, customer and people focused while 
supporting technology, innovation and sustainability. Measures include implementation of a program to improve 
customer Net Promoter Score (NPS) ratings, company re-branding of purpose and beliefs and investing in a 
forward growth strategy across all states of operation.

During FY18 the Company instigated a technology strategy that will enable better informed business decisions 
through access to more timely and accurate data. This strategic initiative ensures greater consistency of business 
processes and supports delivery of the Company’s broader customer centricity strategy.

Acquisitions and joint venture partnerships were undertaken this year to support the Company’s growth strategies 
in New South Wales and Victoria. Strategic decisions to enter into the sale of selective developments including 
Donnybrook in Victoria, and Hope Island in Queensland, offer longer-term financial and commercial advantages. 
In addition the Wollert land parcel was disposed of to a joint venture where the Company has 51% interest and joint 
control over the project. A land development rebranding strategy and core housing review were completed during 
the year to ensure delivery of cost effective, innovative design solutions within agreed margins.

(iii)  People and culture measures

There is direct correlation between high levels of employee engagement and a positive culture delivering strong 
security holder returns. The Villa World STI plan includes a range of metrics focused on developing leadership and 
team capability, identifying and retaining key talent and promoting diversity across the business.

During FY18, the Company began implementing its leadership development framework in order to inform and 
deliver on broader people and culture development strategies. These strategies focus on growing a purpose-led 
company culture by creating career pathways for our people. The identification of Board and KMP succession plans 
supports the strategy to promote internal candidates who are committed to the Company’s purpose and beliefs 
and to recognise the skills, experience and capability that they bring to the Company.

SECTION F:  SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE (STI) PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND  

OUTCOMES FOR FY18 (CONT.)

(iii)  People and culture measures (cont.)

The appointment of Michael Vinodolac as Chief Operating Officer (previously General Manager Operations and 
an existing KMP) and Lorelei Nieves as Chief Financial Officer demonstrates the Company’s long-term strategy 
of growing the diverse capability potential from within the business. As long-term employees of Villa World, these 
meritorious appointments demonstrate the capability and cultural strength within the Company. 

Another significant initiative delivered during FY18 was the identification and initial rollout of the Company’s new 
Purpose—“Helping People Reach Home”—supported by six core beliefs. These elements provide the framework for 
further development and support of people and culture initiatives during FY19 and beyond. 

(iv) 

Individual performance measures

Individual performance measures vary by role and from year-to-year for individuals, and are primarily linked to the 
successful achievement of strategic objectives relating to long-term company sustainability. Targets for individual 
performance measures are not disclosed as some are commercially sensitive. Executives have achieved different 
outcomes in regard to their personal objectives, but all have delivered in the top half of the performance range.

SECTION G:  LONG-TERM INCENTIVE (LTI) PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND OUTCOMES

(a)  Performance measures

(i)  Villa World Limited Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)

The Villa World LTIP is the long-term at-risk incentive component of remuneration for executives. It also applies  
to other senior managers who are considered to have influence over the long-term performance of the Company. 
Performance rights are granted but are restricted and subject to forfeiture until the end of the vesting / performance 
period which is three years from the grant date. Maximum LTI opportunities are equivalent to 120% of fixed 
remuneration for the CEO/MD and up to 60% of fixed remuneration for other executives.

Performance measures are based on relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on Assets (ROA).  
Details of these performance measures are set out in Table E below:

Table E: Long-term incentive plan performance measures

Purpose

Eligibility

Award vehicle

Performance 
period 

Vesting date

Opportunity

Performance 
measures

LTI ensures alignment to long-term overall company performance, motivates long-term value 
creation and is consistent with strategic business drivers and long-term Shareholder return. 

Executives and other eligible employees of the Company who are considered to have the 
capacity to impact the long-term performance of the Company. Non-executive Directors  
are not eligible to participate.

Performance rights. On vesting, each performance right converts into one share.  
No dividends/distributions are paid on unvested LTI awards.

Performance measures are tested over a three year period from grant date.

Vesting occurs following the release of full year results, when the Board determines the 
extent to which the perfromance measures have been satisfied for the relevant performance 
period. The vesting is conditional on the executive remaining employed with the Company 
and achievement of performance hurdles.

Maximum LTI opportunities are equivalent to 120% of fixed remuneration for the CEO/MD 
and up to 60% of fixed remuneration for other executives.

Relative TSR (75% of the LTI allocation)
Relative TSR is used because it is an objective 
measure of Shareholder value creation and 
is widely understood and accepted by the 
various stakeholders.

Absolute ROA (25% of the LTI allocation)

ROA is a profitability ratio that measures how 
well the Company has managed its assets 
to generate earnings. ROA is calculated by 
dividing Earnings Before Interest Tax (EBIT)  
by Average funds employed.

OUTCOMES (CONT.)

Performance 
measures (cont.)

Relative TSR (75% of the LTI allocation) (cont.)

Absolute ROA (25% of the LTI allocation) (cont.)

TSR is measured relative to a comparator 
group of ASX-listed companies ranked 
200-300 on the ASX300 Index (excluding 
companies in the mining and financial 
services sectors and A-REITS). These 
companies were chosen as they are of similar 
size and reflect the Company’s competitors 
for capital. The TSR for the Company is 
measured over three financial years.

Average funds employed will be calculated by 
taking the opening and closing funds employed 
for each relevant year. Funds employed 
is defined as net assets excluding net tax 
balances, net debt, other financial liabilities  
and assets, and liabilities as a result of hedging  
(in accordance with accounting standards).

(i)  FY18 LTIP Grant

The third allocation of performance rights under the LTIP to the CEO/MD was approved at the FY17 Annual  
General Meeting (AGM). Table G shows LTI grants awarded during the year to the CEO/MD and other executives, 
subject to performance conditions over the three year performance period ending 30 June 2020. Accounting 
standards require the estimated valuation of the grants be recognised over the performance period. The maximum 
value is based on the estimated fair value calculated at the time of the grant and amortised in accordance with the 
accounting standard requirements.

(ii)  FY16 LTIP Grant 

The performance conditions for the LTI performance rights granted in November 2015 were measured for vesting 
as at 30 June 2018.

Vesting of LTI grants is dependent on achieving relative TSR performance and absolute ROA targets over a three 
year period, with the Board having over-arching discretion to ensure vesting outcomes are appropriately aligned  
to performance.

ROA Performance

Villa World ROA has been consistent over the past three years and has exceeded the threshold each year.

TSR performance 

Villa World achieved a strong relative TSR of 63.49% over the three year performance period ended 30 June 2018, 
resulting in approximately 77% vesting for the TSR component. 

Overall performance

The total rights vesting for Villa World executives for FY16 LTI award is approximately 83%. Vesting occurs following 
the release of full year results, when the Board determines the extent to which the performance conditions have 
been satisfied for the relevant performance period.

SECTION H:  REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE

Villa World’s remuneration strategy requires approval by the Board, following recommendations from the 
Remuneration and Nomination Committee (RNC). The role of the RNC is set out in its charter, which is reviewed 
annually and can be viewed in the Investor Relations, Corporate Governance section of the Villa World website, 
http://www.villaworld.com.au/investor-centre/corporate-governance

Villa World’s Remuneration Objectives

Remuneration is 
fair and delivers 
a competitive 
advantage in 
attracting motivating 
and retaining 
executive talent

Creation of reward 
differentiation to 
drive performance 
values and 
behaviours

Provide equal 
opportunity and 
enhance diversity

An appropriate 
balance of fixed and 
at risk components

Support strategic 
direction of Villa 
World and create 
sustained growth in 
shareholder value

The RNC met on four occasions during FY18 and held numerous informal discussions about broader remuneration 
issues. In addition to the Committee members, the CEO and other Non-Executive Directors attend meetings as 
required, except in circumstances where their own remuneration is being discussed.

Villa World’s remuneration governance is depicted in Figure (iii).

(a)  Remuneration report approval at the FY17 AGM

Of the eligible votes cast at the Company’s AGM held on 24 October 2017, 98.24% were in favour of the 
remuneration report for FY17. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM on its remuneration 
practices. The RNC will continue to encourage an open and constructive dialogue with Shareholders and their 
representative bodies, and will consult with major Shareholders on any material changes to the remuneration policy 
or how it is implemented. We are aware that the executive remuneration landscape is evolving and of the potential 
for change.

(b)  Use of Remuneration Advisers

To assist in performing its duties and making recommendations to the Board, the RNC seeks independent advice from 
external consultants on various remuneration related matters including insights on remuneration trends, regulatory 
updates and market data in relation to the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors and Villa World executives. 

Ernst & Young (EY) are engaged as the Company’s independent external remuneration advisor to ensure that 
it is fully informed when making remuneration decisions and to assist with the review of the overall executive 
remuneration structure. EY’s global governance guidelines and terms of engagement include specific strict 
guidelines designed to protect their independence, as part of this service to existing audit clients. No remuneration 
recommendations as defined in Section 9B of the Corporations Act 2001 were obtained during the financial year 
ended 30 June 2018.

DIRECTORS’ REPORTVILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018REMUNERATION REPORT 2018 (AUDITED)

SECTION H:  REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE (CONT.)

(c)  Clawback of STI and LTIP awards

The Company has a formal Clawback Policy that provides the Board with broad discretion to ensure that no unfair 
benefit or detriment is derived by any participant in the case of material misstatement in Company financial results or 
serious misconduct by a participant, including where the Company suffers material reputational damage. This includes 
discretion to reduce, forfeit or reinstate unvested awards or alter the performance conditions applying to any award.

(d)  Securities dealing policy

Consistent with the Corporations Act 2001, executives are prohibited under the Company’s Securities Dealing Policy 
from hedging or otherwise reducing or eliminating the risk associated with unvested equity-based incentives. If the 
executive hedges in breach of this policy, consequences may involve disciplinary action and could result in dismissal 
and forfeiture of equity based incentives. Conviction of insider trading can attract criminal and civil liability under 
the Corporations Act 2001.

(e)  Cessation of employment

If an executive resigns or is terminated for cause, any unvested awards are forfeited unless otherwise determined 
by the Board. The treatment of vested and unexercised awards will be determined by the Board with reference to 
the circumstances of cessation.

(f)  Executive Employment Agreements

Remuneration and other terms of employment for executives are formalised in employment agreements. Specific 
information relating to the terms of the agreements for the current executives are set out in table below. Other 
than statutory entitlements, there are no termination benefits applicable to other current executives. The Board 
and the RNC must approve all termination payments.

DIRECTORS’ REPORTVILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 REMUNERATION REPORT 2018 (AUDITED)

SECTION K:  NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION 

(a)  Policy and approach to setting fees

Non-Executive Directors receive a base fee for service as a director of the Board, and an additional fee for chairing 
a committee. The Chairman, taking into account the greater time commitment required, receives a higher fee. 

The Board’s policy is to pay fees that are competitive with comparable companies (those with a similar market 
capitalisation), at a level to attract and retain directors of the appropriate calibre and recognising the anticipated 
time commitments and continual increasing responsibilities of directors to meet market expectations of their role.

In order to maintain independence and impartiality, Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to any form of 
incentive payments and the level of their fees is not set with reference to measures of Company performance.

(b)  Annual review of fees within the maximum approved by shareholders

The Non-Executive Directors’ fees (comprising base and committee fees inclusive of superannuation) have been 
set by the Board within the maximum aggregate amount of $600,000 per annum as approved by Shareholders  
at the 2017 AGM.

Non-Executive Director fees are reviewed annually and set and approved by the Board based on independent 
advice received from external remuneration consultants as required.

A review of Non-Executive Director fees was undertaken during FY18, based on comparative market data provided 
by external experts. Within the shareholder approved maximum aggregate fee amount, the Board approved 
increases of ~10%-17% to the base fees for Non-Executive Directors ensuring Villa World remains competitive with 
comparable companies.

This increase also reflects the calibre, increased time commitment and responsibilities of the Non-Executive 
Directors as the Company continues to grow and promote greater diversity of thinking and challenging amongst  
its Board as part of its good to great strategy.

(c)  Board and committee fees

Following the review as described above, the Board approved the following base and committee fees (inclusive of 
statutory superannuation):

DIRECTORS’ REPORTVILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS

Indemnification

During the year, the Company paid premiums for policies insuring directors and officers of the Company and its 
related bodies corporate against certain liabilities (subject to certain exclusions and to the extent permitted by law). 
The Directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of the premium paid in 
respect of the directors’ and officers’ insurance policies as (in accordance with normal practice) such disclosure is 
prohibited under the terms of the policies.

Insurance premiums

The Company’s constitution provides that it must indemnify, on a full indemnity basis and to the full extent permitted 
by law, officers of the Company and its related bodies corporate for all losses and liabilities incurred by the person in 
their position as an officer, unless covered by insurance.

The Company has entered into Deeds of Indemnity in favour of each of the Directors referred to in this report who 
held office during the year and the Company Secretary. Additionally, separate Deeds of indemnity have been entered 
into with other persons who have been requested to act as directors or officers, as nominees for the purposes of 
licenses held by the Company, or who are employed in key senior positions. The indemnities in these Deeds operate 
to the full extent permitted by law and are not subject to a monetary limit. The Company is not aware of any liability 
having arisen and no claims have been made during or since the financial year under the Deeds of Indemnity.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, 
indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability 
incurred as such an officer.

Indemnity of auditors

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 arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). 
No payment has been made to indemnify Ernst & Young during or since the financial year.

Non-audit services

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor (Ernst & Young) for audit and non-audit services provided during 
the year are set out in Note E3.

The Audit and Risk Committee reviewed all non-audit services to ensure they did not impact the auditor’s impartiality 
and objectivity.

The Board has considered the position and, in accordance with the advice received from the Audit and Risk 
Committee, is satisfied that the provision of 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 auditor’s 
provision of non-audit services did not compromise the level of independence required under the Act because none 
of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES110 Code of Ethics 
for Professional Accountants.

Auditor’s independence declaration

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set 
out on page 57.

Rounding of amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) 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 ASIC Corporations 
(Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases,  
to the nearest dollar.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of Directors.

A1 Revenue (continued)

(d) Accounting for revenue

Recognition and measurement

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of returns, trade allowances, 
rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognises revenue when the amount of 
revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific 
criteria have been met for each of the Company's activities as described below.

Land development and residential housing

Significant accounting judgement 

Revenue is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership and effective control have passed to the buyer 
which requires judgement. In Queensland and Victoria an unconditional sales contract and registration of the land 
and/or certification of building completion is required for revenue to be recognised.

Cash settlement is therefore not required in Queensland or Victoria to recognise revenue for land only and house 
and  land  packages.  However  cash  settlement  is  required  in  New  South  Wales  due  to  section  66K  of  the 
Conveyancing Act 1919 which specifies that risk does not pass to the purchaser until the completion of the sale or 
possession of the land.

Construction contracts

Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and 
incentive payments. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue 
is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion is 
assessed  internally  and  based  on  costs  incurred  to  forecast  total  costs.  When  the  outcome  of  a  construction 
contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred 
that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Joint venture revenue

The Company is responsible for performing different services under each respective joint venture including project 
management, sales and marketing and administrative management. Revenue received as consideration for these 
services is recognised when each respective lot's sale is settled as this is when entitlement arises.

Other  rights  or  services  may  be  provided  upon  entering  into  joint  venture  agreements  and  are  recognised  in 
accordance  with  the  terms  of  individual  agreements,  to  the  extent  of  the  Company’s  ownership  Interest.  Non 
ownership  interests  of  these  fees  are  treated  in  accordance  with  AASB  128 whereby  they  are  included  in  the 
carrying value of the investment and unwound as each developed lot settles.

instruments outstanding as at 30 June 2018.

A3 Segment information

(a) Identification of reportable operating segments

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by 
the  leadership  team  (chief  operating  decision  maker)  in  assessing  performance  and  in  determining  resource 
allocation.

The Company is organised into two reportable segments: 

(i) Property development and construction - New South Wales and Queensland

(ii) Property development and construction - Victoria

The Company and its controlled entities develop and sell residential land and buildings predominately in New South 
Wales, Victoria and Queensland. The operating segments within each geographical area have been aggregated 
on  the  basis  that  they  possess  similar  economic  characteristics  and  are  similar  in  nature  of  the  product  and 
production processes.

(i) Gross margin from reportable operating segments

The segment information provided to the leadership team for the reportable segments for the year ended 30 June 
2018 is as follows:

From continuing 
operations

A3 Segment information (continued)

(b) Segment information provided to the leadership team

(i) Segment Revenue

The revenue from external parties reported to the leadership team is measured in a manner consistent with that in 
the income statements. Revenues from external customers are derived from land development, residential building 
and construction contracts.

(ii) Segment gross margin

The leadership team assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of gross margin. 
This measurement basis consists of revenue from land development, residential building and construction contracts 
less cost of land development, residential building and construction contracts. Segment expenses exclude finance 
costs and impairment costs / (reversals).

(iii) Other material items 

The leadership team assesses the performance of the operating segments by reviewing the share of profit / (loss) 
from  investments  in  joint  venture / associates  and  any  other  revenue  earned  (e.g.  project  management  fees) 
associated with these investments.

A4 Dividends

(a) Ordinary shares

Final fully franked ordinary dividend for the year ended 30 June 2017 of 10.5 
cents per fully paid share paid on 29 September 2017 (2016: 10.0 cents per 
share)
Final franked dividend based on tax paid at 30.0%
Interim dividend for the year ended 30 June 2018 of 8.0 cents per fully paid share 
(2017: 8.0 cents per fully paid share) paid on 29 March 2018
Interim franked dividend based on tax paid at 30.0%

(b) Dividends not recognised at the end of the reporting period

In  addition  to  the  above  dividends,  since  period  end  the  Directors  have 
recommended the payment of a final dividend of 10.5 cents per fully paid ordinary 
share (2017: 10.5 cents per fully paid ordinary share) fully franked based on tax 
paid at 30%. The aggregate amount of the proposed dividend expected to be paid 
on 28 September 2018 out of profits reserve at 30 June 2018, but not recognised 
as a liability at period end, is:

(c) Franking credits

Franking credits available for subsequent reporting periods based on a tax rate of 
30.0% (2017 - 30.0%)

A4 Dividends (continued)

(c) Franking credits (continued)

The consolidated amounts include franking credits that would be available to the Parent entity if distributable profits 
of subsidiaries were paid as franked dividends.

(d) Accounting for dividends

When  determining  dividend  return  to  shareholders,  the  Company  considers  a  number  of  factors,  including  the 
Company's anticipated cash requirements to fund its growth and operational plans and current and future economic 
conditions. According to these anticipated needs, the Company aims to return to shareholders approximately 50 -
75%  of  net  profit  after  income  tax  (NPAT).  Provision  is  made  for  the  amount  of  any  dividend  declared,  being 
appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period 
but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

A5 Taxes

(a) Accounting for taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that 
it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current tax expense represents the expense relating to the expected taxable income at the applicable tax rate for 
the financial year. Deferred tax expense represents the tax expense in respect of the future tax consequences of 
recovering or settling the carrying amount of an asset or liability.

Comparatives have been adjusted to be consistent with the current period.

Tax consolidation legislation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities are part of a tax consolidated group (TCG) where 
all members are taxed as if they were part of a single entity. The head entity in the TCG is Villa World Limited.

The  entities  within  the  TCG  have  entered  both  tax  sharing and  tax  funding  arrangements  with  the  head entity. 
These arrangements limit the joint and several liability between the head entity and the members, and ensure the 
members pay / receive their share of tax payable / receivable settled via an intercompany loan.

(b) Numerical reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax payable

Accounting for deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred  tax  is  recognised  for  temporary  differences  at  the  tax  rates  expected  to  apply  when  the  assets  are 
recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

• when the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or 
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects 
neither the accounting nor taxable profits, or

• when  the  taxable  temporary  difference  is  associated  with  interest  in  subsidiaries,  associates  or  joint 
ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference 
will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will 
be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised 
to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable 
that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The carrying amount 
of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date.

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  only  where  there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to offset current tax 
assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the 
same  taxable  authority  on  either  the  same  taxable  entity  or  different  taxable  entities  which  intend  to  settle 
simultaneously.

A5 Taxes (continued)

(e) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions for income taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes in Australia.

The Company recognises liabilities based on the current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome 
of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current 
and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

In addition, the Company recognises deferred tax assets relating to carried forward tax losses to the extent there 
are sufficient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority.

Utilisation of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the Company to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses 
are recouped. It is believed that the Company will satisfy those tests in order to utilise any tax losses.

There are no revenue tax losses available for utilisation as at 30 June 2018.

Land held for resale is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, 
development and borrowing costs. When development is completed borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. 
Other holding costs are expensed as incurred. The cost of land and buildings acquired under contracts entered 
into but not settled prior to balance date are not taken up as inventories and as liabilities at balance date unless all 
contractual conditions have been fulfilled and there is certainty of completion of the purchase evident at balance 
sheet date.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs included in the cost of land held for resale are those costs that the Company incurs in connection 
with  the  borrowing  of  funds.  Borrowing  costs  which  are  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or 
production of a qualifying asset such as inventories are capitalised using the interest incurred method. In these 
circumstances, borrowing costs are capitalised to the cost of the assets whilst in active development until the assets 
are ready for their intended use or sale. In the event that a development is suspended for an extended period of 
time  the  borrowing  costs  are  recognised  as  expenses.  Borrowing  costs  attributable  to  the  sale  of  land  are 
capitalised and accounted for within finance costs (refer Note C5) in the income statement.

Critical accounting estimates of net realisable value ('NRV') of inventories

The NRV of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of 
completion and cost to sell. The net realisable value amount has been determined based on the current future 
estimated cash flow of the projects. Realisation is dependent on the ability to meet forecasted / estimated cash 
flows. These estimates take into consideration fluctuation of price or cost directly relating to events occurring after 
the end of the period to the extent that such events confirm conditions existing at the end of the period. Consistent 
with  previous  periods,  key  estimates  have  been  reviewed  including  rates  of  sale  and  sale  prices,  the  costs  of 
completion and dates of completion and expected financing costs.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2018 (continued)

B2 Trade and other receivables

Accounting for trade and other receivables

Trade  receivables  are  primarily  amounts  due  from  customers  from  the  development  or  sale  of  land;  or  the 
development,  construction  and  sale  of  house  and  land  packages  in  accordance  with  the  Company's  revenue 
recognition  policy  (refer  Note  A1(d)).  Trade  receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less an allowance for impairment.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis and at balance date any specific impairment 
losses are recorded when there is objective evidence that collection of the receivable is doubtful. Throughout this 
process,  consideration  is  given  to  the  ageing  of  the  trade  receivable,  the  settlement  history,  and  any  other 
information known regarding the customer.

Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days (or per the terms of the contract) and therefore 
are all classified as current. As at 30 June 2018 the balance of trade receivables is $127.4 million (30 June 2017: 
$47.3 million) and they are expected to be received when due. Separate negotiated arrangements outside of the 
standard collection policy are made on occasion when the purchaser enters into multiple contracts or extensions 
are required to facilitate settlement. These balances do not contain impaired assets and based on credit history, it 
is expected that these balances will be received when due.

Other receivables generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the Company. Interest 
may be charged at commercial rates where the terms of repayment exceed six months. Collateral is not normally 
obtained and settlement is generally no more than 60 days from date of recognition.

Accrued income includes interest received and project management fees received from associates and recognised 
in accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policy.

The Company has entered into a conditional Development Agreement with the owner of approximately 73 hectares of land at Byron Bay. The 
land was rezoned to residential use by the New South Wales Government in November 2014. The Development Agreement remains subject 
to the Company receiving satisfactory development approval and a construction certificate for the proposed development, the outcome of 
which remains uncertain. The landowner will retain a number of the approved lots, to be determined following the outcome of the approval 
process. The Company has paid an initial $10 million to the landowner, secured by a first mortgage over the land and fully refundable if the 
above conditions aren’t satisfied. If those conditions are satisfied and the transaction proceeds, the Company is required to construct dwellings 
on the lots to be retained by the landowner, over a period of up to 10 years.

B4 Trade and other payables

Accounting for trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently carried at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Payables  due  to  sub-contractors  and  materials  are  classified  as  current  liabilities  and  represent  the  liability  for 
goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. These amounts 
are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Land  acquisitions  represent  amounts  payable  when  the  Company  enters  into  unconditional  contracts  with  land 
vendors to secure properties for future development.

Accrued expenses and other payables are unsecured amounts and generally settled within 30 days of recognition.

The Company maintains a rolling cash flow to ensure its operational requirements are met within the contractual 
terms  of  the  agreements,  whilst  providing  sufficient  flexibility  to  fund  growth,  working  capital  requirements  and 
future strategic opportunities.

(i) Estimates of material amounts of contingent liabilities not provided for in the financial report

The  Company  has  entered  into  agreements  to  indemnify  certain  employees  and  former  employees  against  all 
liabilities that may arise as a result of any claims against them by third parties as a result of the Company’s building 
activities. It is impractical to estimate the amount that may arise from these arrangements. There were no claims 
made against the Company at 30 June 2018 (30 June 2017: nil).

A controlled entity has contractual arrangements that provide for liquidated damages under certain circumstances. 
It  is impractical  to  estimate  the  amount of any  liability  that may  arise  from  these  arrangements.  There  were no 
claims made against the Company at 30 June 2018 (30 June 2017: nil).

The Company has provided bank guarantees to the total of $22.7 million (30 June 2017: $14.9 million) to authorities 
and councils in relation to certain works to be undertaken or maintained or in support of contractual commitments 
(refer Note C4(a)).

(ii) Liabilities in respect of other entities

The Company has interests in a number of Joint Ventures and is a Guarantor for the financing facilities of the joint 
ventures. The guarantee given by Villa World in respect of the financing facilities utilised by the Donnybrook joint 
venture meets the definition of a financial guarantee contract.

As at 30 June 2018, no liability has been recognised as no amount was received from the joint venture and no 
outflow is probable.

B6 Capital and other commitments

(a) Capital commitments

Villa World Developments Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Villa World Limited, assumed certain contractual 
obligations in conjunction with the execution of Put and Call Option Agreements (the Agreements) in relation to the 
acquisition  of  individual  subdivided  lots  in  property  developments  within  New  South  Wales,  Victoria  and 
Queensland.

The call options give Villa World Developments Pty Ltd (or a nominated third party) the option to purchase the lot(s) 
at a nominated price by the call option expiry date. The put options give the vendor the right to sell to the Company 
at a nominated price on expiry of the call option. The potential total commitments remaining under the Agreements 
are  $13.8  million  (30  June  2017:  $16.6  million).  The  commitments  are  crystallised  upon  the  satisfaction  of  the 
conditions under the Agreements and registration of the land by the vendor and will be made available under the 
terms of the contract. However, some Agreements are severable by development stage and the commitments may 
be less than the total commitments under the Agreements as outlined below.

(b) Joint Venture commitments

As  at  30  June  2018,  the  Company  has  commitments  of $8.1  million  (30  June  2017:  $22.5  million).  These 
commitments  relate  to  equity  contributions  committed  under  the  joint  venture  agreements  with  Greenfields 
Development Company of $5 million (30 June 2017: $22.5 million) and Ho Bee Land Limited of $3.1 million (30

(c) Lease commitments

Accounting for leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as 
lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received 
from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Non-cancellable operating leases

The Company has entered into leases for office space on normal commercial terms with lease terms between three 
and five years. The leases have varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal rights. On renewal, the terms of 
the lease are renegotiated.

Future commitments for minimum lease payments in relation to non-cancellable operating leases are payable as 
follows:

C1 Capital risk management

Capital is defined as the combination of shareholders' equity, reserves and net debt. The Board is responsible for 
monitoring  and  approving  the  capital  management  framework  within  which  management  operates.  Capital 
management is an integral part of the Company's risk framework and seeks to safeguard the ability of the Company 
to continue as a going concern while maximising shareholder value through optimising the level and use of capital 
resources and the mix of debt and equity funding.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group will consider a range of alternatives which may include:

•
•
•
•
•

raising or reducing borrowings
adjusting the dividend policy
issue of new securities
return of capital to shareholders
sale of assets.

Capital strength remains a strategic focus and allows the Company to:

•
•
•
•

pursue growth opportunities through the development of the existing portfolio
reinvest in the business through value accretive acquisitions
grow dividends
strengthen the balance sheet.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is 
calculated as total debt divided by total assets adjusted for cash on hand. Total debt is calculated as borrowings 
(including “interest bearing liabilities” and “other financial commitments” as shown in the balance sheet).

The Company's policy is to continue to manage debt levels and maintain the gearing ratio between 15% and 30%. 
As at 30 June 2018, the gearing ratio was 29.7% (30 June 2017: 12.9%).

The  Company  has  complied  with  the  financial  covenants  of  its  borrowing  facilities  during  the  2018  and  2017 
reporting periods.

Ordinary shares in Villa World Limited are classified as contributed equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to 
the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Ordinary shares entitle 
the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number 
of and amounts paid on the shares held. On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting 
in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote. Ordinary shares 
have no par value and Villa World Limited does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

(b) Treasury shares

Treasury shares refer to those shares issued to Villa World Ltd Employee Share Scheme Pty Ltd as trustee for 
Villa World  Ltd  Employee  Share  Scheme  Trust.  The  shares  are  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  in  the  capital  of  the 
Company and rank equally with all other existing shares from the date issued. Under the accounting standards, 
the Company  is  deemed  to  control  the  Villa  World  Employee  Share  Scheme  and  the  shares  (and  associated 
transactions) are  eliminated on  consolidation,  thereby deducting  these issued shares  from issued capital  whilst 
held by the Trustee. As these shares are deemed not to have been issued by the consolidated entity, they are not 
included  in  the  Company's  earnings  per  share  and  statements  regarding  the  gross  value  of  dividends,  unless 
transacted by the Employee Share Scheme outside of the group. No gain or loss on treasury shares is recognised 
in profit and loss. Upon disposal, any gain will be recognised in profit and loss. As at 30 June 2018, the total number 
of Treasury Shares on hand is 12,500 (30 June 2017: 19,350).

(c) Share-based equity instruments

Information relating to performance rights issued, exercised and forfeited / lapsed during the financial year, is set 
out in the Remuneration report and in Note E2(b).

The profits reserve represents opening retained profits and current year profits transferred to a reserve to preserve 
the characteristic as a profit and not allocate against prior year accumulated losses. Any such profits are available 
to  enable  payment  of  franked  dividends  in  the  future  should  the  Directors  declare  by  resolution.  Profits  are 
determined and transferred on an entity basis. Losses are retained by the entity.

(ii) Cash flow hedges

The hedging reserve is used to record gains or losses on a hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge, considered 
an effective hedge, that are recognised in other comprehensive income. Amounts are reclassified to profit or loss 
when the associated hedged transaction affects profit or loss (for instance when the forecast transaction that is 
hedged takes place).

(iii) Share-based payments

The  share-based  payments  reserve  is  used  to  recognise  the  fair  value  of  performance  rights  issued  to  key 
management personnel and executives. Equity instrument disclosures relating to key management personnel can 
be found in Note E2(c) and within the Remuneration Report section of the Directors' Report.

C4 Borrowings

Accounting for borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is 
recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that 
it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down 
occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the 
fee is  capitalised  as a prepayment  for  liquidity services  and  amortised  over  the  period  of the  facility  to  which it 
relates.

Interest expense is accrued at the effective interest rate.

C4 Borrowings (continued)

Accounting for borrowings (continued)

Borrowings  are  removed  from  the  balance  sheet  when  the  obligation  specified  in  the  contract  is  discharged, 
cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished 
or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities 
assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement 
of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

(i) Bank Loan - secured 

The Company's Club Financing Arrangement with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) and 
Westpac Banking Corporation (Westpac) remains at $190 million (30 June 2017: $190 million). The Club Financing 
Arrangement provides funding for the Company's ongoing core business. It comprises a facility of $140 million with 
ANZ and a facility of $50 million with Westpac.

The  maturity  of  the  ANZ  facility  has  been  staggered,  with  $90  million  expiring  on  31  October  2020,  $40  million 
expiring on 31 October 2021, and $10 million expiring on 31 March 2022. The $50 million Westpac facility expires 
on 31 March 2021.

As at 30 June 2018 the facility was drawn exclusive of bank guarantees at $135 million (30 June 2017: $33 million). 
Bank guarantees issued total $22.7 million (30 June 2017: $14.9 million). The bank guarantees are also disclosed 
in Note B5(d).

No  restrictions  have  been  imposed  on  this  facility  by  the  financiers  during  the  year  ending  30  June  2018  and 
drawdowns continue to be made in the ordinary course of business. All covenants under the facility were met within 
the required timeframes during the year.

Interest  is  payable  based  on  a  margin  over  bank  bill  swap  rate.  The  Company  entered  into  interest  rate  swap 
contracts to fix the interest rate at 3.69% (excluding the margin and line fees applicable under the loan agreement) 
on $90 million of borrowings (refer to Note C6(d)(ii)). The swap contract matured on 12 June 2018.

To manage exposure to future interest rate risk, the Company has executed two interest rate caps totalling $50 
million  with  a forward start date of 2 July  2018. The interest rate cap contracts  will cap the  Company's floating 
interest rate at a maximum of 3% on $50 million until 2 July 2020 and $25 million thereafter until 4 July 2022.

The fair value of non-current borrowings and the bank guarantees equals their carrying amount, as the impact of 
discounting is not significant.

(ii) Villa World Bonds - unsecured

The Company issued 500,000 bonds with a face value of $100 per bond on 21 April 2017 (ASX: VLWHA). The 
bonds are unsecured and interest-bearing at a variable rate of interest of 4.75% margin over the 3 month bank bill 
swap rate, paid quarterly in arrears and have a maturity date of 21 April 2022.

Under the terms of the Bonds, the Company is required to maintain two covenants. The negative pledge (secured 
gearing  ratio) is calculated  based on  total  secured  debt  divided  by  total  assets.  Under  the  negative  pledge  the 
Company must maintain a secured gearing ratio of no greater than 40%. As at 30 June 2018 the secured gearing 
ratio is 21.3% (30 June 2017: 4.2%).

The limitation on debt incurrence covenant (gearing ratio) is calculated as total debt divided by total assets adjusted 
for cash on hand. Total debt is calculated as borrowings (including "interest bearing liabilities" and "other financial 
commitments" as shown in the balance sheet). For the purposes of the covenant, the Company must maintain a 
gearing ratio of no greater than 50%. As at 30 June 2018, the gearing ratio is 29.7% (30 June 2017: 12.9%), refer 
Note C1.

The fair value of Villa World bonds is the quoted market value (ASX: VLWHA) of a bond which at 30 June 2018 
was $104.50 per bond (30 June 2017: $101.50) (Level 1).

C5 Finance costs

Accounting for finance costs

The  interest  incurred  method  is  currently  utilised  for  all  Villa  World  projects.  Borrowing  costs  incurred  for  the 
construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare 
the asset for its intended use or sale.

Interest allocation which relates to non-qualifying assets is expensed. For each accounting settlement the actual 
capitalised interest is then expensed / (unwound) on a per lot basis through finance costs. Once an asset has been 
impaired or development activity has ceased, then subject to detailed review and Board approval, capitalisation of 
interest may cease and the borrowing costs will be expensed in the month incurred.

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial asset or financial liability will fluctuate 
because of changes in market prices. The Company’s market risk arises from its interest rate risk.

(i)

Interest rate risk

The Company's primary investment strategy is closely aligned to economic cycles and interest rates. Interest rate 
risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  the  value  of  a  financial  instrument  or  the  associated  cash  flows  will  fluctuate  due  to 
changes in market interest rates.

The Company's interest rate risk primarily arises from borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the 
Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest 
rate risk. Under the Company Policy, a maximum of 50% of debt with a maturity of less than five years can be 
hedged. The Company operated within this range during the financial year ended 30 June 2018.

The Company has managed its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Under 
these contracts, the Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable 
interest rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. These swaps are 
designated to hedge interest costs associated with underlying debt obligations.

The  Company  entered  into  interest  rate  swap  contracts  in  June  2014  to  fix  the  interest  rate  on  $90  million  of 
borrowings (2017: $90 million). The swap contract matured on the 12 June 2018. To manage exposure to future 
interest rate risk, the Company has executed two interest rate caps totalling $50 million with a forward start date of 
2 July 2018. The interest rate cap contracts will cap the Company's floating interest rate at a maximum of 3% on 
$50 million until 2 July 2020 and $25 million thereafter until 4 July 2022.

As at the end of the reporting period, the Company had the following variable rate borrowings and interest rate 
swap contracts outstanding:

Sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2018, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 40 basis points from the year end rates with all other variables 
held constant, post-tax profits for the year, would have been $0.04 million lower/higher (30 June 2017: $0.1 million 
lower/higher on -/+  25  basis  points),  mainly  as  a  result  of  higher/lower  interest  expense  from  interest  bearing 
liabilities.

The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable 
market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.

30 June 2018 (continued)

C6 Financial risk management (continued)

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk associated with a counterparty defaulting or failing to perform their contractual obligations. 
Credit risk is managed on a consolidated basis.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of each class of the 
following financial assets.

(i) Cash and deposits

Credit  risk  from  derivative  financial  instruments  and  cash  arises  from  balances  held  with  counterparty  financial 
institutions. To manage this risk, the Company restricts dealings to highly rated counterparties approved within its 
credit limit policy. For cash and deposits held with banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties 
with a minimum rating of "AA-" are accepted.

Given  the  high  credit  ratings  of  the  Company's  counterparties  at  30  June  2018,  it  is  not  expected  that  any 
counterparty will fail to meet its obligations.

(ii) Trade and other receivables

The  Company's  primary  source  of  revenue  is  from  the  development  and  sale  of  residential  land,  and the 
development, construction and sale of house and land packages to customers (refer Note A1(d)). To mitigate the 
Company's exposure to credit risk, trade receivables arising from the sale of properties are secured by legal title
until settlement when sale proceeds are received.

Credit risk arising on trade and other receivables is monitored on an ongoing basis mitigating exposure to bad 
debts (refer Note B2). Based on the credit history of trade and other receivables, it is expected that these amounts 
will be received. The Company does not hold any collateral in relation to these receivables.

The Company did not recognise any trade receivable impairment losses in the current year (30 June 2017: nil).

The credit risk associated with trade receivables from joint venture entities is monitored through management’s 
review of project feasibilities and the Company’s ongoing involvement in the operations of those entities.

Owing to the short-term nature of the ageing of the balance and balances secured against property, the credit risk 
of trade receivables is considered to be low.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due. 
The Company addresses this risk by reviewing rolling cash flow forecasts throughout the year and by assessing 
and monitoring availability of funding, ensuring there is sufficient headroom against facility limits and compliance 
with banking covenants.

The  Company  operates  a  $190  million  financing  facility  with  ANZ  and Westpac  which  provides  funding  for  the 
Company's core business. The Company has unused borrowing facilities which further reduces liquidity risk. At 30 
June 2018 the Company has unutilised borrowing facilities of $32.3 million (30 June 2017: $142.1 million) (refer 
Note  C4(a)).  The  proceeds  from  a  $50  million  bond  issue  in  April  2017,  provides  the  Company  with  additional 
financial capacity and diversifies the Company's debt, supporting the Company's growth objectives and extending 
the maturity of borrowings.

The Company aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by regularly updating and reviewing its cash flow forecasts 
to assist in managing its liquidity.

Reinforcing the Company's commitment to effective cash flow management, at 30 June 2018, 845 sales contracts 
were carried forward at a value of $278.1 million (including GST) with 31.5% of contracts (266 lots valued at $108.4
million) due to settle in 1H19 (refer Operating Financial Review page 12). These strong carried forward sales, when 
combined with the Company's capital management policy further assist in managing liquidity.

The Company’s policy is to minimise its exposure to liquidity risk by managing its refinancing risk. Refinancing risk 
may be reduced by reborrowing prior to the contracted maturity date, effectively switching liquidity risk for market 
risk. This is subject to credit facilities being available at the time of the desired refinancing.

The Company expects to meet its financial liabilities through the various available liquidity sources, including sale 
contracts  carried  forward,  cash  deposits,  undrawn  committed  borrowing  facilities  and,  in  the  longer-term,  debt 
refinancings.

(ii) Changes in liabilities arising from financing activities

The below table provides a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances on the face of the Balance 
Sheet  for  liabilities  arising  from  financing  activities.  The major changes in  the  Company's  liabilities  arising from 
financing activities are due to financing cash flows.

30 June 2018 (continued)

C6 Financial risk management (continued)

(d) Fair value measurement of financial instruments (continued)

(i) Critical accounting estimate - fair value measurement (continued)

Fair value hierarchy

All  financial  instruments  for  which  fair  value  is  recognised  or  disclosed  are  categorised  within  the  fair  value 
hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as 
a whole:

(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);

(b)

(c) 

inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 
directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and

inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 
3).

During the year, there were no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 fair value categories.

(ii) Fair values disclosed

(A) Carrying amount approximates fair value

The  carrying amounts  of  receivables,  other current  assets and  payables  are  assumed  to  approximate  their  fair 
values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of non-current borrowings (other than the simple corporate 
bond) is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rates that are 
available to the Company for similar financial instruments.

(B) Measured at fair value

(I) Bonds

In  April  2017,  the  Company  issued  $50  million  of  simple  corporate  bonds. The  Bonds  were  issued  in  order  to 
diversify the Company's capital structure, extend debt maturity and support growth objectives (refer Note C4(a)). 
The bonds are traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX: VLWHA). The fair value of a Villa World Bond is
the quoted market value which at 30 June 2018 was $104.50 per bond (30 June 2017: $101.50 per bond). The 
Villa World simple corporate bonds are classified as level 1 under the fair value hierarchy.

(II) Derivative financial instruments

The  Company  uses  derivative  financial  instruments  to  hedge  its  exposure  to  fluctuations  in  interest  rates.  In 
accordance with the Company's financial risk management policies, the Company does not hold or issue derivative 
financial instruments for trading purposes.

It is policy to protect part of the Company's borrowings of $240 million from exposure to fluctuating interest rates. 
The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts in June 2014 to fix the interest rate at 3.69% (excluding the 
margin and  line fees  applicable under the  loan agreement) on  $90 million of borrowings. Interest payments  for 
interest rate swaps are net settled every 30 days. The interest rate swap contract is designated as a cash flow 
hedging instrument.

The swap contract matured on 12 June 2018. To manage exposure to future interest rate risk, the Company has 
executed two interest rate caps totalling $50 million with a forward start date of 2 July 2018. The interest rate cap 
contracts will cap the Company's floating interest rate at a maximum of 3% on $50 million until 2 July 2020 and $25 
million thereafter until 4 July 2022.

Total borrowings for the Company bears an average variable interest rate of 7.3% (including line and facility fees) 
(30 June 2017: 9%).

The fair value of the interest rate swap liability at 30 June 2018 was nil (30 June 2017: $1.8 million).

The fair value of the interest rate swap is the estimated amount that the entity would receive or pay to terminate 
the swap at the balance sheet date, taking into account current interest rates, forward interest yield curves and the 
current creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. The fair value of the interest rate swap is calculated as the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows and is classified as level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

C6 Financial risk management (continued)

(d) Fair value measurement of financial instruments (continued)

Derivatives  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  on  the  date  a  derivative  contract  is  entered  into  and  are 
subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. Accounting for subsequent changes 
in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the 
item being hedged.

Accounting for cash flow hedges

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair 
value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the hedging reserve. Any 
ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss within 
finance costs. There was no material ineffectiveness for the year ended 30 June 2018.

The amount accumulated in equity is retained in other comprehensive income and reclassified to profit or loss in 
the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss.

If  the  hedging  instrument  no  longer  meets  the  criteria  for  hedge  accounting,  expires  or  is  sold,  terminated  or 
exercised,  or  the  designation  is  revoked,  the  hedge  accounting  is  discontinued  prospectively.  If  the  forecast 
transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in equity is amortised via profit and loss.

Accounting for subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries at 30 June 
2018. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Company has control. 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  to  direct  the  entity's  activities.  Subsidiaries  are  fully 
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are de-consolidated from the date 
that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities within the Company 
are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment 
of the asset transferred. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements 
of the Company. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency 
with the policies adopted by the Company.

The parent entity has provided a financial guarantee for the financing facilities of the Closed Group. The parent has 
also provided guarantees as disclosed in Note B5(d).

D3 Investments accounted for using the equity method

A joint venture is an arrangement where the Company has joint control over the activities and joint rights to the net 
assets. The Company initially records the joint venture at the cost of the investment and subsequently accounts for 
them using the equity method. Under the equity method, the Company's share of joint venture's profit or loss is 
added to / deducted from the carrying amount each year. Distributions received or receivable are recognised by 
reducing the carrying amount of the joint venture.

When transactions between the Company and its joint venture create an unrealised gain, the Company eliminates 
the  unrealised  gain  relating  to  the  Company's  proportional  interest  in  the  joint  venture.  Unrealised  losses  are 
eliminated in the same way unless there is evidence of impairment, in which case the loss is realised.

(a) Eynesbury joint venture

During  the  period  ended  30  June  2018,  the  process  for  de-registering  the  Eynesbury  joint  venture  entities 
commenced. Payments totalling $136,000 (30 June 2017: $2.3 million) have been received by the Company for 
the year ended 30 June 2018.

The equity accounted investment in the Company's Eynesbury joint venture as at 30 June 2018 is nil (30 June 
2017: $51,000).

For the Eynesbury joint venture entities, the joint venture parties have agreed that they will share liabilities in the 
same proportion as their holding in the joint venture (50% each). If the parties have entered an agreement which 
creates on each of them a joint and several (unlimited) liability to a third party, they have agreed to indemnify each 
other to the extent that one of them is required to pay more than 50% of the liability to a third party.

(b) Donnybrook joint venture

On  20  December  2017,  the  Company  announced  the  Donnybrook  joint  venture  had  entered  into  a  conditional 
contract to sell its remaining parcel at 960 Donnybrook Road, having previously entered into a conditional contract 
to  sell  its  adjoining  parcel  at  1030  Donnybrook  Road  to  Slatterley  Property  Group  Pty  Ltd.  The  site  comprises 
~208ha,  with  the  Donnybrook  joint  venture  to  retain  certain  portions  of  the  site  including  non-residential 
components. The purchaser is 960 Blueways Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Blueways Holding Pty Ltd. The 
Company's share of revenue from the sale is $50 million which will be recognised progressively in line with the 
staged  settlements,  and  will  therefore  be  dependent  on  timing  of  Precinct  Structure  Plan  approval.  This  sale 
underpins forecast earnings from FY20 - FY23.

The equity accounted investment in the Company's Donnybrook joint venture as at 30 June 2018 is $3.3 million 
(30 June 2017: $8.4 million).

Summarised financial information of the Company's investment in the Donnybrook joint venture is set out below:

On 20 December 2017, the Company entered into a joint venture with Ho Bee Limited to develop the ~15.76ha site 
located in Wollert, Victoria, 25km north of Melbourne CBD. The joint venture will deliver an approximate 289 lot 
land community at an average sales price of approximately $295,000. The joint venture will obtain project specific 
financing for the development in due course. In undertaking the development, the joint venturers are to contribute 
capital and share profits on the basis of 51% (Villa World) and 49% (Ho Bee). The Company will receive fees for 
development management and sales and marketing coordination; and has the potential to receive a performance 
fee. During the year, the Company received an opportunity fee of $14.9 million (recognised only to the extent that 
the Company’s share of profit is not recognised being 49%) as well as a reimbursement of project costs previously 
incurred. These amounts are described in the consolidated statement of cash flows as ‘receipts from the transfer 
of development rights’.

The equity accounted investment in the Company's Wollert joint venture as at 30 June 2018 is $3.5 million (30 
June 2017: nil).

The Company's ownership interest in the development is a joint arrangement with joint control and is classified as

profits  on  the  basis  of  51%  (Villa  World)  and  49%  (Ho  Bee).  Under  AASB  11 the  Company  accounts  for  the 
investment using the equity method in accordance with AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.

(f) Critical accounting judgements for equity accounted investments

(i) Joint control of equity accounted investments

In relation to the joint ventures of Donnybrook and Wollert, management has assessed there is joint control as the 
parties share the agreed control of the arrangement including the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control 
for the decision making.

(ii)

Impairment of equity accounted investments

Joint  ventures  are  tested  for  impairment  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  and  impaired  if  necessary  by 
comparing the carrying amount to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is calculated as the estimated 
present value of future distributions to be received from the joint venture and from its ultimate disposal. Estimating 
these future cash flows of the joint venture requires significant judgement and therefore actual amounts may differ 
from an impairment estimate.

At 30 June 2018, none of the equity accounted investments were considered to be impaired.

(ii) Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for derivative financial 
instruments which are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

(iii) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas 
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant 
to  the  financial  statements, are  disclosed  within  the  relevant  Note.  Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are 
reviewed on an ongoing basis. The resulting accounting estimates will by definition, seldom equal the related actual

E3 Remuneration of auditors (continued)

The statutory audit requirements for the Company vary from year to year and can have an impact on the level of 
audit fees. The Company may decide to engage the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties 
where the auditor's expertise and experience with the Company is important. These assignments relate to other 
non-audit services including accounting advice and tax advice and capital debt market advice.

The majority of non-audit fees in FY17 relate to services provided during the issuance of the Simple Corporate 
Bond. The costs associated with this assignment were paid to the Ernst & Young Capital and Debt Advisory Team. 
The auditor has provided an independence declaration and the Committee is satisfied that the work performed on 
non-audit services was conducted by a team separate from the audit team and does not impact the independence 
of the auditor.

E4 Events occurring after the reporting period

(b) Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment losses. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit 
or loss.

Depreciation  is  calculated  on  a  straight-line  or  diminishing  value  basis  to  write  off  the  net  cost of  each  item  of 
property, plant and equipment, including leased equipment, over its expected useful life to the consolidated entity. 
Leased  assets  are  depreciated  over  the  shorter  of  the  lease  term  and  their  useful  lives unless  it  is  reasonably 
certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. The expected useful lives of property, 
plant and equipment are:

-
-
-
-

Vehicles
Plant and equipment
Leasehold improvements
Information technology

3 - 5 years
3 - 10 years
2 - 8 years
4 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting 
period.

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes 
cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original 
maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to
an  insignificant  risk  of  changes  in  value,  and  bank  overdrafts.  Bank  overdrafts  are  shown  within  borrowings  in 
current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

(d) Impairment of assets

Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of 
disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for 
which there are separately identifiable cash generating units. Assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for 
possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

(e) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for salaries and wages, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 
12 months of the reporting date are recognised as provisions in respect of employees services up to the reporting 
date and are measured as the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The  Company's  net  obligation  in  respect  of  long-term  employee  benefits  is  the  amount  of  future  benefits  that 
employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to 
determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The 
obligations  are  presented  as  current  liabilities  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheet  if  the  entity  does  not  have  an 
unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the 
actual settlement is expected to occur.

(iii) Bonus plans

The Company recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses. The Company recognises a liability where it is 
contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

(iv) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those 
benefits and when the Company recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled 
wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting period, then they are discounted.

(f) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets / liabilities (other than receivables) are recognised net of the amount of associated 
GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of 
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and 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 a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(g) Rounding of amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Directors' Report) Instrument 
2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the 'rounding off' of amounts 
in  the  financial  statements.  Amounts  in  the  financial  statements  have  been  rounded  off  in  accordance  with 
Instrument 2016/191 to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

(h) New accounting standards and interpretations

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018. 
The Company's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, 
most relevant to the Company are set out below.

New standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 
1 July 2017 have been adopted by the Company. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the 
following new standards and interpretations, most relevant to the Company are set out over:

OTHER INFORMATIONEVILLA WORLD LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2018 (continued)

E5 Other accounting policies (continued)

(h) New accounting standards and interpretations (continued)

(i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments 

AASB  9 Financial  Instruments includes  requirements  for  the  classification,  measurement  and  derecognition  of 
financial  assets.  These  requirements  improve  and  simplify  the  approach  for  classification  and  measurement  of 
financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The standard is not applicable to the Company until 
1 July 2018 but is available for early adoption. The adoption of AASB 9 is not expected to have a material impact 
on the Company.

(ii) AASB 16 Leases

AASB  16  Leases introduces  a  single  lessee  accounting  model  and  requires  a  lessee  to  recognise  assets  and 
liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is 
required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease 
liability representing its obligations to make lease payments.

AASB  16  substantially  carries  forward  the  lessor  accounting  requirements  in  AASB  117  Leases.  Accordingly  a 
lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.

AASB 16 requires enhanced disclosures for both lessees and lessors to improve information disclosed about an 
entity's exposure to leases.

This  new  standard is  applicable  to  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2019,  with  early 
application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new guidance and expects to adopt 
this standard for the year ended 30 June 2020.

(iii) AASB15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers was issued in December 2014, and amended in May 2016. The 
new revenue standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under Australian Accounting 
Standards and permits either a full or modified retrospective approach on transition.

The core principle of AASB 15 is to recognise revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an 
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

AASB 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and includes 
increased disclosure requirements. These include but are not limited to, identifying performance obligations in the 
contract,  estimating  the  amount  of  variable  consideration  to  include  in  the  transaction  price  and  allocating  the 
transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

Significant judgement is required to determine when control over the asset is transferred to the customer. The new 
standard is based on the principle that the revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a 
customer.

Whilst the directors believe the Company’s assessment of the impact of AASB 15 to be consistent with how other 
companies  in  the  Property  Development  and  Construction  industry  are  intending  to  apply  the  new  accounting 
standard, it is noted that there are still specific legal clauses within sales contracts in certain jurisdictions that are 
being considered as to application under AASB 15 which may cause a change in the impact assessment described 
below. 

Impact

The Company's primary source of revenue is derived from the development and sales of residential land, and the 
development, construction and sale of house and land packages.

The  Company  has  assessed  and  evaluated  the  potential  impact  of  AASB  15 on  its  consolidated  financial 
statements.  Under  AASB  15,  the  Company  considers  that  performance  obligations  are  satisfied  at  settlement 
irrespective of geographical location as this is when control of the asset transfers to the customer.

This  represents  a change  from  the  Company's  existing  revenue  recognition  policy  for  Queensland and  Victoria 
sales whereby revenue is currently recognised when there is an unconditional sales contact and registration of the 
land and / or certification of building completion.

The  Company's  construction  contracts  are  not  expected  to  be materially impacted  by  the  adoption  of  the  new 
standard.

Development and project management fees will be addressed on a per contract basis and are not expected to 
have any significant impact. AASB 15 will be applied by the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2019. 
Villa World is adopting the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, comparatives (the year ended 
30 June 2018) will not be restated.

(iii) AASB15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (continued)

The  presentation  and  disclosure  requirements  in  AASB  15 are  more  detailed  than  under  current  Australian 
Accounting Standards and will increase the volume of disclosures required in the financial statements.    Many of 
the  disclosure  requirements  in  AASB  15 are  new,  including  disclosure  of significant  judgements made  and  the 
disaggregation of revenue recognised from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, 
timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Summarised impact for 1 July 2018:

Revenue item
House and land, and 
land only contracts in 
Queensland and 
Victoria.

Nature of change
The assessment of control under 
AASB 15 results in revenue 
recognition at cash settlement. As a 
result, revenue (and associated costs 
of sales) recognised on contracts 
which were unconditional but not 
settled as at 30 June 2018 under the 
Company’s existing revenue 
recognition policy will be reversed 
through an adjustment to retained 
earnings on transition and 
corresponding balance sheet 
accounts will also be impacted. In 
addition, as the Company’s 
associates and joint ventures apply 
consistent accounting policies, 
corresponding adjustments are made 
which impact retained earnings and 
investments accounted for using the 
equity method. 

Financial impact of adoption 
As detailed in the table below:
Trade receivables will decrease by $127.1 
million.
Inventory will increase by $91.7 million. 
Other current assets will increase by $0.8 
million.
Investment accounted for using the equity 
method will decrease by $1.4 million. 
Deferred tax assets will increase by $1.0
million. 
Trade and other payables will decrease by 
$4.7 million.
Deferred income will increase by $0.02 
million. 
Service warranties provision will decrease by 
$0.2 million.
Deferred tax liabilities will decrease by $8.0
million.
Retained earnings will decrease by $22.2
million.

Estimated cumulative impact on consolidated balance sheet

The  cumulative  estimated  effect  of  the  changes  that  will  be  made  to  the  Company's  consolidated  1  July  2018 
balance sheet for the adoption of AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers will be as follows:
