• Vista Group continues to maintain a very strong Statement of Financial Position with low debt and strong cash position.

• Transition of Group CEO and Vista Entertainment CEO/COO completed smoothly.

• Board of Directors announce a fully imputed interim dividend of 1.6 cents per share (post share split) for 1H2018.

OPERATIONAL AND PRODUCT OVERVIEW


Cinema

Cinema delivered a strong first half highlighted by key new business wins in 2 ‘new’ territories – signing Aeon (the largest circuit in

Japan), enabling entry into the Japanese market for the first time, and signing Pathe France (the largest circuit in France),

underlining the strategy to proceed with direct representation in France. Cinema now has customers in 94 countries worldwide and

is actively pushing to reach 100. Revenue expansion is also very much on the agenda for Cinema, both through developing ancillary

revenue streams with 3

rd

parties, and through the development of new innovative product offerings.

Movio

Movio continued to see expansion in both key business metrics: Active Moviegoers increased 8% despite the expiry of the AMC

license (not a material contributor to revenue), and revenue per Active Moviegoer increased by 25% (both metrics compared to

1H2017). Movio Media revenue increased 97% over 1H2017 driven by contracts with STC, Sony, Lionsgate, FOX, Viacom and

Epsilon. Movio Cinema revenue increased 20% led by successful implementations of new customers in Cinemark Brazil and PVR

India.


Additional Group Companies (AGC)

Performance in the AGC’s was mixed, Powster being the standout performer with strong revenue and EBITDA growth plus an

exciting portfolio of innovations which show great potential (notably ‘bots’ in Facebook Messenger and direct ticketing through

movieXchange). The MACCS business showed good progress in terms of delivery to customers (with the key Warner Bros. project

moving back to normal commercial terms), but the financial outcomes in the first half continue to disappoint. Flicks undertook an

accelerated investment approach in the latter part of the half, and delivered some very encouraging growth numbers – hitting 1

million unique visitors in a month for the first time.


Early Stage Investments (ESI)

The ESI’s showed encouraging signs in the half, albeit off a small base. Both movieXchange and Cinema Intelligence grew revenue

strongly compared to 1H2017. The performance of movieXchange was primarily driven by a strong increase in the volume of tickets

being processed through movieXchange Tickets – with 5 ticketing vendors connecting live to over 20 cinema circuits. Cinema

Intelligence continued the turnaround from 2H2017, with good revenue growth and a breakeven EBITDA result for the half. Key

new business signings for Cinema Intelligence were achieved in Europe, USA and the Middle East. Stardust is focusing its energy

on product enhancements to expand appeal and stickiness.


Associate Companies

Numero achieved a strong revenue increase of 40% over 1H2017, with over 1,000 sites reporting in the key USA market. Data

collection was initiated in Thailand, Mexico and Nigeria – adding to existing collection in Korea, South Africa, Malaysia and

Singapore.


Vista China continued to perform strongly with the highlight being a 36% increase in revenue over 1H2017 and the addition of 46

new Vista sites and 20 Veezi sites. On 24 August 2018, Vista Group confirmed the granting of the final regulatory approvals

required to approve the 7.9% equity purchase from its partner, Beijing Weying Technology Co. Limited (WePiao). Refer to the

market announcement on 24 August 2018 for further information.



Overall summary and outlook

A very pleasing first half performance provides confidence we can deliver to our guidance for the full year.

EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measure and is defined as earnings before net finance expense, income tax, depreciation, amortisation, acquisition costs and equity-accounted results from associate companies. Expenses

related to the VCL deferred consideration is also excluded. This is consistent with the measure used in the Prospectus dated 3 July 2014. Depreciation and amortisation in 1H 2018 $1.9m (1H 2017: $1.6m).

Note: In FY2017 Vista Group paid an interim dividend of 2.4 cents / share. This was however prior to the 2:1 share split completed in November 2017. The comparative interim dividend for FY2017 is therefore divided

by two to ensure a relevant comparison.

(1)

to $13.1m over 1H2017.

is $26.3m, up $5.3m from year-end FY2017.

• Vista Group continues to maintain a very strong Statement of Financial Position with low debt and strong

OPERATIONAL AND PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Cinema

Cinema delivered a strong first half highlighted by key new business wins in 2 ‘new’ territories – signing Aeon

(the largest circuit in Japan), enabling entry into the Japanese market for the first time, and signing Pathe France

(the largest circuit in France), underlining the strategy to proceed with direct representation in France. Cinema

now has customers in 94 countries worldwide and is actively pushing to reach 100. Revenue expansion is also very

much on the agenda for Cinema, both through developing ancillary revenue streams with 3rd parties, and through

the development of new innovative product offerings.

Movio

Movio continued to see expansion in both key business metrics: Active Moviegoers increased 8% despite the

expiry of the AMC license (not a material contributor to revenue), and revenue per Active Moviegoer increased

by 25% (both metrics compared to 1H2017). Movio Media revenue increased 97% over 1H2017 driven by contracts

with STC, Sony, Lionsgate, FOX, Viacom and Epsilon. Movio Cinema revenue increased 20% led by successful

implementations of new customers in Cinemark Brazil and PVR India.

Additional Group Companies (AGC)

Performance in the AGC’s was mixed, Powster being the standout performer with strong revenue and EBITDA

(1)


growth plus an exciting portfolio of innovations which show great potential (notably ‘bots’ in Facebook Messenger

and direct ticketing through movieXchange). The MACCS business showed good progress in terms of delivery

to customers (with the key Warner Bros. project moving back to normal commercial terms), but the financial

outcomes in the first half continue to disappoint. Flicks undertook an accelerated investment approach in the

latter part of the half, and delivered some very encouraging growth numbers – hitting 1 million unique visitors

in a month for the first time.

(1) EBITDA is a non GAAP measure and is defined as earnings before net finance costs, income tax, depreciation and amortisation, acquisition

costs, capital gains/losses and equity accounted results from associate companies. Expenses related to the VCL deferred consideration are

also excluded. This is consistent with the measure used in the Prospectus dated 3 July 2014. Depreciation and amortisation in 1H2018 amounts

to $1.9m (1H2017: $1.6m).

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2018

Early Stage Investments (ESI)
The ESI’s showed encouraging signs in the half, albeit off a small base. Both movieXchange and Cinema

Intelligence grew revenue strongly compared to 1H2017. The performance of movieXchange was primarily driven

by a strong increase in the volume of tickets being processed through movieXchange Tickets – with 5 ticketing

vendors connecting live to over 20 cinema circuits. Cinema Intelligence continued the turnaround from 2H2017,

with good revenue growth and a breakeven EBITDA

(1)

result for the half. Key new business signings for Cinema

Intelligence were achieved in Europe, USA and the Middle East. Stardust is focusing its energy on product

enhancements to expand appeal and stickiness.

Associate Companies

Numero achieved a strong revenue increase of 40% over 1H2017, with over 1,000 sites reporting in the key USA

market. Data collection was initiated in Thailand, Mexico and Nigeria – adding to existing collection in Korea,

South Africa, Malaysia and Singapore.

Vista China continued to perform strongly with the highlight being a 36% increase in revenue over 1H2017 and

the addition of 46 new Vista sites and 20 Veezi sites. On 24 August 2018, Vista Group confirmed the granting

of the final regulatory approvals required to approve the 7.9% equity purchase from its partner, Beijing Weying

Technology Co. Limited (WePiao). Refer to the market announcement on 24 August 2018 for further information.

Overall summary and outlook

A very pleasing first half performance provides confidence we can deliver to our guidance for the full year.

(1) EBITDA is a non GAAP measure and is defined as earnings before net finance costs, income tax, depreciation and amortisation, acquisition

costs, capital gains/losses and equity accounted results from associate companies. Expenses related to the VCL deferred consideration are

also excluded. This is consistent with the measure used in the Prospectus dated 3 July 2014. Depreciation and amortisation in 1H2018 amounts

to $1.9m (1H2017: $1.6m).

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2018

1. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Vista Group operates in the vertical cinema/film market via four operating segments and a corporate segment.

The Chief Executive and the Board of Vista Group are considered to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM)

in terms of NZ IFRS 8 Operating Segments. These segments have been defined based on the reports regularly

reviewed by the CODM to make strategic decisions.

The Cinema segment includes software associated with cinema management via the Vista software suite of

products, plus the cloud based VEEZI product for smaller scale cinemas. The newly acquired Mexican business

partner, Vista Latin America, is reported within the Cinema segment. Refer to note 2 for further detail. The Movio

segment includes Movio Cinema and Movio Media that provide data analytics and campaign management.

The Additional Group Companies segment is an aggregation of the MACCS, Powster and Flicks businesses, none

of which individually exceed the 10% threshold for segment revenue or profitability that would require separate

disclosure under NZ IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Early Stage Investments as a segment includes businesses that

are in the start-up phase of their life cycle. This segment includes Stardust, movieXchange and Share Dimension

(Cinema Intelligence). Similar to the Additional Group Companies segment, none of the businesses included in this

segment individually exceed the 10% threshold for segment revenue or profitability that would require separate

disclosure under NZ IFRS 8 Operating Segments. The Corporate segment contains the shared services functions

associated with Vista Group International, being legal, finance, senior management and facilities. Revenue related

to the associate company Vista China is recognised within the Corporate segment.

4. ASSOCIATE COMPANIES

VISTA CHINA

Vista Group has a 39.53% interest in Vista Entertainment Solutions Shanghai Limited (Vista China), an associate

company that has been accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated interim financial statements.

On 20 February 2018, Vista Group announced that it had signed agreements to reacquire 7.9% of the equity

in Vista China. This equity purchase combined with shareholder agreements will result in Vista China becoming

a subsidiary of Vista Group. These agreements are subject to regulatory approval in China and as at balance date,

this approval is yet to be received. Therefore, at 30 June 2018, Vista China continues to be equity accounted

as an associate company.

NUMERO LIMITED
Vista Group has a 50% interest in Numero Limited (Numero), an associate that is accounted for using the equity

method in the consolidated interim financial statements.

All related party transactions during the period were made on normal commercial terms. During the period,

a provision of $0.7m (2017: Nil) was recognised within the share of loss from associates in relation to advances

made to Numero. This is consistent with the treatment at year end 31 December 2017, at which date a provision

of $1.7m was recognised.

The types of related party transactions undertaken during the period relate to recharges for development work

undertaken and advances made.

The amounts receivable are unsecured and no guarantees are in place. Vista Group can call the debt recognised

as an intercompany receivable at any time. Interest of 10% is charged against the intercompany loan per the

loan agreement.

Vista Group ceased to recognise further losses related to the associate company Numero in FY2015 as accumulated

losses would exceed Vista Group’s equity interest. Losses were previously recognised to the extent of the value held

in equity for Numero, however this has now been offset by Vista Group’s share of losses. During the period, Numero

made a loss of $0.9m, Vista Group’s share being $0.5m (2017: $0.3m).

On 23 March 2018, Vista Group announced the termination of the French market distribution agreement with Côté

Ciné Group (CCG). This resulted in the disposal of the customer relationship previously recognised. A settlement

payment of $1.4m was received and a net gain on disposal of $29,000 was recognised.

7. DIVIDENDS

During the period, Vista Group paid the final dividend related to FY2017 of $2.9m (2017: $3.8m). Note that there

was no interim dividend paid during FY2016 and therefore only a final dividend paid in the first half of FY2017.

8. GENERAL INFORMATION

Vista Group is a company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand, and whose shares are publicly traded

on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

The principal activity of Vista Group is the sale, support and associated development of software for the film industry.

These consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue on 29 August 2018.

These consolidated interim financial statements are not audited.

9. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF YEAR REPORT

The consolidated interim financial statements of Vista Group have been prepared in accordance with Generally

Accepted Accounting Practice New Zealand (NZ GAAP). They comply with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting

and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Interim Report does not include all the notes of the type normally

included in an Annual Report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for

the financial year ended 31 December 2017.

The accounting policies and methods of computation and presentation adopted in the consolidated interim financial

statements are consistent with those described and applied in the Annual Report for the financial year ended

31 December 2017. The only exception is the adoption of new or amended standards as set out below.

Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued for using the tax rate that would have been applicable

to expected total annual profit or loss.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2018

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CONTINUED

New accounting standards adopted by Vista Group
A number of new standards become applicable for the current reporting period and Vista Group has had

to change its accounting policies as a result of adopting the following standards:

• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

• IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The impact of the adoption of these new standards is disclosed below.

Impact of standards issued but not yet adopted by Vista Group

IFRS 16 Leases was issued in January 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised in the Statement

of Financial Position, as the distinction between operating leases and finance leases is removed. The standard

is mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Vista Group does not intend to adopt

the standard before its mandatory effective date and is yet to assess its full impact.

Changes in accounting policies

This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on Vista Group’s consolidated interim financial

statements and also discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2018, where they

are different to those applied in prior periods.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – impact of adoption

IFRS 9, as it relates to Vista Group, replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification,

measurement and impairment of financial assets. The adoption of IFRS 9 from 1 January 2018 resulted in changes

in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the consolidated interim financial statements.

The new accounting policies are set out in the sections below, along with the impact on the consolidated interim

financial statements.

Vista Group has applied IFRS 9 retrospectively, but has elected not to restate comparative information. As a result,

the comparative information provided continues to be accounted for in accordance with Vista Group’s previous

accounting policies.

Classification and measurement

IFRS 9 impacts the following classifications of financial assets:

• Cash

• Trade receivables

• Loan and receivables to the associate company Numero

• Sundry receivables

From 1 January 2018, Vista Group classifies its financial assets as being measured at amortised cost. Until December

2017, Vista Group classified its financial assets as loans and receivables. There was no change in the fair value of

the financial assets as a result of the reclassification.

At initial recognition, Vista Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly

attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

Impairment

From 1 January 2018, Vista Group assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with

its financial assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has

been a significant increase in credit risk.

In assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, Vista Group considers both forward

looking and financial history of counterparts to assess the probability of default or likelihood that full settlement

is not received.

For trade receivables, Vista Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected

lifetime credit losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the trade receivables.

15

VISTA GROUP INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CONTINUED

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no
reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan

with Vista Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 180 days past due.

The expected credit loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and

expected credit loss rates. Vista Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs

to the impairment calculation. This is based on Vista Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as

forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Details of key assumptions and judgements are

included in each section below.

Cash

While cash and cash equivalents are subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment

loss was immaterial.

Trade receivables

Vista Group’s trade receivables are subject to IFRS 9’s expected credit loss model. Vista Group has applied

the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected credit loss

allowance for all trade receivables. To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped and

reviewed on the basis of the number of days past due. The expected credit loss allowance has been calculated

by considering the impact of the following characteristics:

• The Baseline characteristic considers the age of each invoice and applies an increasing expected credit loss

estimate as the trade receivable ages.

• The Aging and Write offs characteristics consider the history of write off related to the specific customer and

the relative size of aged debt to current debt. If the trade receivable aged over 180 days makes up more than

45% of the total trade receivable for a specific customer, further provision for expected credit loss is added.

• The Country, Customer and Market characteristics consider the relative risk related to the country and/or region

within which the customer resides and makes an assessment of the financial strength of the customer and the

market position that Vista Group has achieved within that market.

The expected credit loss allowance as at 1 January 2018 was determined as follows for trade receivables:

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2018

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CONTINUED

Loan and receivables to associate company Numero
The loan and receivables from Numero are subject to the requirements of IFRS 9. For these amounts, Vista Group has

applied the general approach mandated under IFRS 9 to assess the impairment provision, which involves assessing

the lifetime recoverability of these receivables as the credit risk has increased since initial recognition.

Vista Group has considered reasonable and supportable information available to calculate the present value of

future cashflows of Numero based on a five year period. Management judgement has been applied in determining

the inputs for future periods and the discount rate applied. This analysis calculated the amount of debt supportable

by Numero based on discounted future cash flows to be $5.4m at both 30 June 2018 and 31 December 2017.

At 31 December 2017, Vista Group recognised an expected credit loss allowance amounting to $1.7m, leaving a net

receivable across both the loan and other advances of $5.4m. As a result, no changes have been identified from

the adoption of IFRS 9. Consistent with this approach, related party advances made in the first half of 2018 of

$0.7m have been provided for to keep the total net receivable amount from Numero at $5.4m.

Sundry receivables

At balance date, Vista Group holds a total of $12.1m of sundry receivables. Management has applied judgement to

remove $3.3m, primarily of consumption tax receivable, from the impairment calculation as the counter parties are

local tax authorities and therefore they have a high level of certainty in terms of recoverability.

The balance of sundry receivables is made up of a receivable from WePiao of $8.8m (2017: $8.7m) related to the sale

of 18.3% of Vista China in 2016. Refer to the 2016 Annual Report for further detail. On 20 February 2018, Vista Group

announced that it had signed agreements to acquire 7.9% of Vista China from WePiao. Whilst regulatory approval

to complete the transaction is still pending, Vista Group has agreed to set off the monies outstanding from WePiao

against the purchase of equity. Using the criteria identified above for gauging whether there is a significant

increase in credit risk, Vista Group has concluded that there is no requirement for impairment.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – impact of adoption

Vista Group adopted IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018, which resulted in changes in accounting policies relating to the

recognition of revenue.

Following a detailed review of Vista Group’s portfolio of contracts, Management concluded that the implementation

of IFRS 15 has no material impact on the way in which Vista Group recognises revenue. Therefore, there is no

requirement to restate revenue reported in prior periods. The details of the review process are outlined below.

Accounting policies have been amended to ensure that the five-step method, as defined in IFRS 15, is applied

consistently to revenue recognition processes across Vista Group.

Process and policy

To assess the impact of IFRS 15 on Vista Group, contracts within each segment were aggregated to create

portfolios of contracts. An individual contract from each portfolio was selected as being representative of each

unique contract type. For each contract type, the five-step method was applied to assess the impact on revenue

recognition.

The five-step method for recognising revenue from contracts with customers involves consideration of the following:

1. Identifying the contract with the customer

2. Identifying performance obligations

3. Determining the transaction price

4. Allocating the transaction price to distinct performance obligations

5. Recognising revenue

The tables below provide further information on the application of IFRS 15 across the major segments in Vista Group.

The segments detailed below represent 91% of Vista Group’s revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

In terms of impact to the presentation of the consolidated interim financial statements, IFRS 15 requires the

disaggregation of revenue to provide clear and meaningful information. For Vista Group, Management concluded that

presentation of revenue in terms of the method of revenue recognition was most appropriate. Therefore, revenue is

disaggregated in the operating segments note (refer to note 1) as amounts recognised at a point in time and over time.

VISTA GROUP INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Management determines the classification of Vista Group’s financial liabilities at initial recognition. Vista Group’s

financial liabilities for the periods covered by these consolidated interim financial statements consist only of loans,

trade payables and contingent consideration.

Vista Group measures all financial liabilities, with the exception of contingent consideration, at amortised cost in

the periods covered by these consolidated interim financial statements. Contingent consideration is measured at

fair value. Contingent consideration is classified as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial

liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in the fair value recognised in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income.

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are non-derivative financial liabilities with fixed or determinable

payments that are not quoted in an active market. Trade and other payables, employee benefits, related party

loans and borrowings are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.

Recognition and derecognition

Financial liabilities are derecognised if Vista Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged

or cancelled.

Measurement

At initial recognition, Vista Group measures a financial liability at its fair value. After initial recognition, financial

liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Refer to note 9 for policies related to financial assets.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Vista Group’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarised as follows:

Cash and short term deposits

These are short term in nature and their carrying value is equivalent to their fair value.

Trade, related party and other receivables

These assets are short term in nature and are reviewed for impairment; their carrying value approximates their

fair value.

Trade, related party and other payables

These liabilities are mainly short term in nature with their carrying value approximating their fair value.

Related party loans

Fair value is estimated based on current market interest rates available for receivables of similar maturity and risk.

The interest rate is used to discount future cash flows.

Borrowings

Borrowings have fixed and floating interest rates. Fair value is estimated using the discounted cash flow model

based on a current market interest rate for similar products; their carrying value approximates their fair value.

Fair values

Vista Group’s financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped

into levels based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

Level 1 - fair value measurements derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Level 2 - fair value measurements derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are

observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability

which are not based on observable market data.

There have been no transfers between levels or changes in the valuation methods used to determine the fair value

of Vista Group’s financial instruments during the period. As at 30 June 2018, Vista Group had $0.9m (2017: $3.1m)

of level 3 financial instruments related to contingent consideration.
