Same store sales growth +0.6% at constant exchange rates, with Australia +2.7%

Kathmandu Holdings Limited (ASX/NZX: KMD) is pleased to announce its results for the 12 months
ended 31 July 2019 (FY19), a year that delivered another record result and reflected the successful
rollout of the Company’s multi-channel, brand led growth strategy.

Growth across all key financial metrics, with earnings growing faster than revenue

NZ$ million FY19

FY18 Change
Sales 545.6 497.4 9.7%
Gross Profit 332.5 315.5 5.4%
EBITDA 99.6 89.8 10.9%
EBIT 84.3 74.8 12.7%
NPAT 57.6 50.7 13.6%

Commenting on the FY19 results, Kathmandu CEO Xavier Simonet said: “Over the past 12 months
the team delivered another record sales and profit result. The key drivers of this growth were a
positive contribution from the Australian business, and rapid sales and profit growth from Oboz.”

“We were particularly pleased to grow sales in the second half of FY19, even though we were
cycling strong Australian sales growth in our key winter period last year. At the same time as
delivering sales growth, we maintained our focus on cost control, and benefited from wholesale
operating cost efficiencies that saw us grow earnings faster than revenue. The diversification of our
sales channels, brands, products, and markets, underpinned this result,” added Mr Simonet.

Kathmandu Group (excl. Oboz)
(constant exchange rates)
+0.6% +2.1%
Note: Same store sales are for the 52 weeks ending 28 July 2019

Total sales in Kathmandu’s largest market, Australia, were up 4.5%, with continued growth in key
product categories. Same stores sales growth of +2.7% in Australia reflected the team’s focus on
providing a great customer shopping experience.

New Zealand sales were down 3.1%. The focus for FY20 is on driving increased foot traffic and
conversion metrics in key metro markets, and the recent openings of Kathmandu flagship stores in
key cities is expected to support this.

Online sales were up 9.2% at constant exchange rates, assisted by the successful re-platforming of
Kathmandu’s online offering. Continued enhancement of the customer experience has contributed to
higher conversion rates of online traffic to sales. Online now comprises 10.1% of direct to consumer
sales (FY18: 9.4%).

North America: Oboz delivering rapid sales and profit growth

Following its successful integration, the Oboz business continued to grow strongly, with FY19 pro
forma sales growth of 30.0% to US$44.6 million, and pro forma EBIT growth of 38.6% to US$7.9
million. Oboz grew in key accounts and core styles, while also diversifying its customer and product
mix.

An investment of $1.3 million was made during FY19, establishing Kathmandu’s wholesale business
in North America. The early response has been positive, with FY20 orders secured for 45 doors and
5 online sites.

The overall North America contribution to FY19 Group EBIT was $9.6 million, up from $2.4 million in
FY18.

Scale efficiencies lowering the cost of doing business

Total operating expenses increased 3.7% to $234.0 million, including an $11.8 million incremental
increase from operating expenses relating to the first full year inclusion of Oboz, and establishment
costs for Kathmandu North America.

As a percentage of sales, operating expenses fell 2.5% to 42.9% (FY18: 45.4%) reflecting the
benefits of channel diversification into wholesale.

Improving balance sheet and strong cash flow enabled record full year dividend

Kathmandu’s balance sheet position continues to improve, with the strong cash flows generated in
FY19 supporting a $14 million repayment of net debt and $15.7 million capital investment in store
optimisation (new stores and refurbishments) and growth enablers.

The Oboz acquisition in April 2018 added circa $60 million in net debt. The strong operating cash
flows in the subsequent 16 months have reduced the Company’s net debt to $19.3 million at 31 July
2019.

Capital Expenditure 15.7 16.7
Operating Cash Flow 61.7 75.6

A final dividend of NZ 12.0 cents per share has been declared, taking the full year dividend to NZ
16.0 cents per share, another record for Kathmandu. The final dividend will be fully imputed for New
Zealand shareholders, and fully franked for Australian shareholders. The final dividend will have a
record date of 30 September 2019, and payment date of 11 October 2019.

Trading performance for first seven weeks of FY20

For the seven weeks ending 15 September 2019, Group same store sales grew +6.1% at constant
exchange rates. Australia same store sales grew +4.0%, and New Zealand same store sales grew
+11.7% (albeit at lower gross margins). This initial period of FY20 is expected to comprise a small
proportion of the 1H FY20 sales result.

Well positioned to deliver on future growth opportunities

Commenting on the outlook for Kathmandu, Mr.Simonet said: “Oboz has accelerated our
transformation from a leading Australasian retailer to a global brand-led multi-channel business, and
has enabled us to diversify our channels, brands, products, and markets.”

“Our entire team is proud to have delivered four years of innovative products, sustained sales and
profit growth, strong operating cash flows, and significant value for our shareholders. In Kathmandu
and Oboz, we have two distinctive brands, with strong fundamentals and significant international
growth potential, delivering great quality products to our loyal customers.”

Notes to the Financial Statements

Section 1: Basis of Preparation

1.1 General information
Kathmandu Holdings Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together the Group) is a designer, marketer, retailer
and wholesaler of clothing, footwear and equipment for travel and adventure. It operates in New Zealand, Australia,
United Kingdom and United States of America.
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. Kathmandu Holdings Limited is
a company registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013. The address of its registered office is 223 Tuam Street, Central Christchurch, Christchurch.
The Company is listed on the NZX and ASX.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Part 7 of
the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the NZX Listing Rules.
These audited consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 18
September 2019.
1.2 Summary of significant accounting policies
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice. They comply with the New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and
other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate for for-profit entities. The consolidated financial
statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency
and Group’s presentation currency.
1.2.1 Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements reported are for the consolidated “Group” which is the economic entity comprising
Kathmandu Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries.
The Group is designated as a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained to the date on which control is lost.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all material intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains
on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary,
amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform to the Group’s accounting policies.
Historical cost convention
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the
revaluation of certain assets as identified in the specific accounting policies provided below.
Critical accounting estimates
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by
definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing
a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience as adjusted for current
market conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.

In this section ...
This section sets out the Group’s accounting policies that relate to the consolidated financial statements
as a whole. Where an accounting policy is specific to one note, the policy is described in the note to
which it relates.

KATHMANDU HOLDINGS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Further explanation as to estimates and assumptions made by the Group can be found in the following notes to the
consolidated financial statements:
Area of Estimation

Section
Business Combinations – purchase price allocation
5.1
Goodwill and Brand – assumptions underlying recoverable value
3.3
Inventory – estimates of obsolescence
3.1.1
Fair value of derivatives – assumptions underlying fair value 4.2

Foreign currency translation
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary
economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation
currency as follows:
 Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that
balance sheet;
 Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates
(unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the
transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the
transactions); and
 All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of
borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity.

This section focuses on the results and performance of the Group. On the following pages you will find
disclosures explaining the Group’s results for the year, segmental information, taxation and earnings per
share.

EBITDA represents earnings before income taxes (a non-GAAP measure), excluding interest income, interest expense,
depreciation and amortisation, as reported in the consolidated financial statements. EBIT represents EBITDA less
depreciation and amortisation. EBITDA and EBIT are key measurement criteria on which operating segments are
reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the Executive Management Team).
The Group operates in one industry being the sale of outdoor clothing, footwear and equipment.
Revenue is allocated based on the country in which the customer is located. The Group has no reliance on any single
major customer.
Costs recharged between Group companies are calculated on normal commercial terms. The default basis of allocation
is % of revenue with other bases being used where appropriate.
Assets / liabilities are allocated based on where the assets / liabilities are located.

2.2 Profit before tax
Accounting policies
Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue from the sale of footwear, clothing and equipment for travel and adventure. Revenue
comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods, excluding Goods and Services
Tax and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group.
Retail Sales
For sales of goods to retail customers, revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being at the
point the customer purchases the goods at a retail outlet. Payment of the transaction price is due immediately at the
point the customer purchases the goods.
Online Sales
For online sales, revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred to the customer, being at the point the
goods are delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the goods have been shipped to the customer’s specific
location. When the customer initially purchases the goods online, the transaction price received by the Group is
recognised as a contract liability until the goods have been delivered to the customer.
Wholesale Sales
For sales to the wholesale market, revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being when the
goods have been shipped to the wholesaler’s specific location (delivery). Following delivery, the wholesaler has full
discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility when onselling the
goods and bears the risks of obsolescence and loss in relation to the goods. A receivable is recognised by the Group
when the goods are delivered to the wholesaler as this represents the point in time at which the right to consideration
becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is due.
Sales Returns
Under the Group’s standard contract terms, customers have a right of return within 30 days. At the point of sale, a refund
liability and a corresponding adjustment to revenue is recognised for those products expected to be returned. The Group
uses its accumulated historical experience to estimate the number of returns on a portfolio level using the expected value
method. It is considered highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognised will not occur
given the consistent level of returns over previous years.
Summit Club Loyalty Program
The Group operates a Summit Club loyalty program through which retail customers accumulate points on purchases that
entitles them to discounts on future purchases. These points provide a discount to customers that they would not receive
without purchasing the goods (i.e. a material right). The promise to provide the discount to the customer is therefore
a separate performance obligation.
The transaction price is allocated between the product and the points on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.
The stand-alone selling price per point is estimated based on the discount to be given when the points are redeemed by
the customer and the likelihood of redemption, as evidenced by the Group’s historical experience. A contract liability is
recognised for revenue relating to the loyalty points at the time of the initial sales transaction. Revenue from the loyalty
points is recognised when the points are redeemed by the customer. Revenue for points that are not expected to be
redeemed is recognised in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by customers.

Note 2.1 provides a breakdown of revenue by geographical region.

(i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12
months of the reporting date are recognised in employee entitlements in respect of employees’ services up to the
reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-
accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable. The liability
for employee entitlements is carried at the present value of the estimated future cash flows.

Rental and operating leases
The Group is a Lessee. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the
lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from
the lessor) are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period
of the lease.

2.3 Taxation

Accounting policies
Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly
in equity. In this case, the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance
sheet date in the countries where the Company and Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax
regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected
to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income
tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business
combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax
liability is not recognised if it arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is determined using tax
rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply
when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing
of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will
not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by
the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to
settle the balances on a net basis.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of cash flows have been prepared
so that all components are stated exclusive of GST. All items in the consolidated balance sheet are stated net of GST,
with the exception of receivables and payables, which include GST invoiced.
Taxation – Consolidated statement of comprehensive income
The total taxation charge in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is analysed as follows:

2019 2018

NZ$’000 NZ$’000
Current income tax charge 23,206 24,964
Deferred income tax charge / (credit) 539 (1,891)
Income tax charge reported in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income

23,745 23,073

In order to understand how, in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, a tax charge of $23,744,580 (2018:
$23,073,435) arises on profit before income tax of $81,377,631 (2018: $73,744,312), the taxation charge that would arise
at the standard rate of New Zealand corporate tax is reconciled to the actual tax charge as follows:

Keeping it simple ...
This section lays out the tax accounting policies, the current and deferred tax charges or credits in the year
(which together make up the total tax charge or credit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income), a reconciliation of profit before tax to the tax charge and the movements in deferred tax assets
and liabilities.

Adjustments in respect of prior years (130) (125)
Income tax charge reported in the consolidated statement of

Adjustments for prior periods primarily arise where an outcome is obtained on certain tax matters which differs from
expectations held when the related provision was made. Where the outcome is more favourable than the provision
made, the difference is released, lowering the current year tax charge. Where the outcome is less favourable than the
provision, an additional charge to the current year tax will occur.

The tax charge / (credit) relating to components of other comprehensive income is as follows:

(2018: £10,172,139 (NZ$19,561,807)) which can be carried forward to be offset against future profits generated within
the UK. These losses do not expire and no benefit has been recognised in respect to these losses.

Adjustment for:
- Share options / performance rights 1,965 1,926
227,989 213,187

Keeping it simple ...
Earnings per share (‘EPS’) is the amount of post-tax profit attributable to each share.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit after tax attributable to equity holders of the Company of
$57,633,052 (2018: $50,670,877) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during
the year of 226,023,935 (2018: 211,260,697).

Diluted EPS reflects any commitments the Group has to issue shares in the future that would decrease
EPS. In 2019, these are in the form of share options / performance rights. To calculate the impact it is
assumed that all share options are exercised / performance rights taken, and therefore, adjusting the
weighted average number of shares.

Section 3: Operating Assets and Liabilities

3.1 Working capital
3.1.1 Inventory
Accounting policies
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average cost
method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and
condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable
selling expenses. Inventory is considered in transit when the risk and rewards of ownership have transferred to the
Group.
The Group assesses the likely residual value of inventory. Stock provisions are recognised for inventory which is
expected to sell for less than cost and also for the value of inventory likely to have been lost to the business through
shrinkage between the date of the last applicable stocktake and balance sheet date. In recognising the provision for
inventory, judgement has been applied by considering a range of factors including historical results, stock shrinkage
trends and product lifecycle.

Inventory is broken down into trading stock and goods in transit below:

2019 2018

NZ$’000 NZ$’000
Trading stock 105,161 89,802
Goods in transit 17,612 22,127

Inventory has been reviewed for obsolescence and a provision of $294,742 (2018: $627,362) has been made.

Keeping it simple ...
Working capital represents the assets and liabilities the Group generates through its trading activity. The
Group therefore defines working capital as inventory, cash, trade and other receivables, other financial
assets, trade and other payables and other financial liabilities.

In this section ...
This section shows the assets used to generate the Group’s trading performance and the liabilities
incurred as a result. Liabilities relating to the Group’s financing activities are addressed in Section 4.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown in note 2.3.

3.1.3 Trade and other receivables
Accounting policies
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at the value of the invoice sent to the customer (fair value) and
subsequently at the amounts considered recoverable (amortised cost). The collectability of trade and other receivables is
reviewed on an on-going basis.
An allowance for lifetime expected credit losses is recognised for trade and other receivables based on the Group’s
historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an
assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of
money where appropriate. The expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that
are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted
at the original effective interest rate. The allowance currently held is $114,829 (2018: $212,610).

3.1.5 Trade and other payables due within one year
Accounting policies
Trade payables are recognised at the value of the invoice received from a supplier. The carrying value of trade payables
is considered to approximate fair value as amounts are unsecured and are usually paid by the 30th of the month
following recognition.
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can
be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

Property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any
gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

The assets’ residual value and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each balance sheet date.
Capital work in progress is not depreciated until available for use.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Depreciation
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using straight line and diminishing value methods so as to
expense the cost of the assets over their useful lives. The rates are as follows:
Leasehold improvements 5 – 50 %
Office, plant and equipment 5 – 50 %
Furniture and fittings 10 – 50 %
Computer equipment 10 – 60 %
Impairment of assets
Property, plant and equipment is reviewed 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 is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of
disposal and value in use.

Keeping it simple ...
The following section shows the physical assets used by the Group to operate the business, generating
revenues and profits. These assets include store and office fit-out, as well as equipment used in sales
and support activities.

Assets are recognised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

3.3 Intangible assets

Accounting policies
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the
Group’s interest in the net fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree. Separately recognised goodwill is tested
annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. It is
carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those
cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in
which the goodwill arose.

Brand
Acquired brands are carried at original cost based on independent valuation obtained at the date of acquisition. The
brand represents the price paid to acquire the rights to use the Kathmandu or Oboz brand. The brand is not amortised.
Instead the brand is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Customer Relationship
Acquired customer relationships are carried at original cost based on independent valuation obtained at the date of
acquisition less accumulated amortisation. They are amortised on a straight line basis over a useful life of 10 years. The
estimated useful life and amortisation period is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.

Software costs
Software costs have a finite useful life. Software costs are capitalised and written off over the useful economic life.
Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programs are recognised as an expense when
incurred. Costs that are directly associated with the production of identifiable and unique software products controlled by
the Group, and that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognised as
intangible assets. Direct costs include the costs of software development employees.
Software is amortised using straight line and diminishing value methods at rates of 20-67%.

Impairment
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may
not be recoverable. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, including goodwill, are not subject to amortisation
and are tested annually for impairment irrespective of whether any circumstances identifying a possible impairment have
been identified. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in
use.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash flows e.g. cash generating units.

Keeping it simple ...
The following section shows the non-physical assets used by the Group to operate the business,
generating revenues and profits. These assets include brands, customer relationship, software
development and goodwill.

This section explains the accounting policies applied and the specific judgements and estimates made
by the Directors in arriving at the net book value of these assets.

Impairment tests for goodwill and brand

The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill and brand allocated to each unit for impairment testing are as follows:
Group

Goodwill Brand

2019 2018 2019 2018

NZ$’000 NZ$’000 NZ$’000 NZ$’000
New Zealand 45,484 45,484 51,000 51,000
Australia 75,564 76,785 96,034 100,108

190,321 189,308 185,081 187,928

For the purposes of goodwill and brand impairment testing, the Group operates as three groups of cash generating units,
New Zealand, Australia and Oboz. The recoverable amount of each cash generating unit has been determined based on
value in use.
The discounted cash flow valuations were calculated using projected five-year future cash flows based on Board
approved business plans. Business plans are modelled assuming like for like sales growth based on historical
performance taking into account changing market conditions. The key assumptions used for the value in use calculation
are as follows:

2019 2018

Terminal growth rate 1.0% 1.0%

New Zealand CGU pre-tax discount rate 11.2% 12.4%
Australia CGU pre-tax discount rate 10.5% 12.2%
Oboz CGU pre-tax discount rate 12.7% -

KATHMANDU HOLDINGS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2019

25

The terminal growth rate assumption is based on a conservative estimate considering the current inflationary
environment. Pre-tax discount rates are calculated based on a market participants expected capital structure and cost of
debt to derive a weighted average cost of capital.

The calculations confirmed that there was no impairment of goodwill and brand during the year (2018: nil). The Board
believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions used in the calculations would not cause the
carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

The expected continued promotion and marketing of the Kathmandu and Oboz brands supports the assumption that the
brand has an indefinite life.

Capital commitments
Capital commitments contracted for at balance sheet date include intangible assets of $703,611 (2018: $748,139).

Section 4: Capital Structure and Financing Costs

4.1 Interest bearing liabilities
Accounting policies
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured
at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is
recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective
interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

The table below separates borrowings into current and non-current liabilities:

2019 2018

NZ$’000 NZ$’000

Current portion - -
Non-current portion 25,500 39,500
Total term loans 25,500 39,500

The Group has a multi-option facility agreement with Commonwealth Bank of Australia and ASB Bank Limited, with A$45
million repayable in full on 1 August 2022, A$15 million repayable in full on 1 August 2021, and a multi-option facility
agreement with Bank of New Zealand with $40 million and $30 million repayable in full on 21 March 2020 and 21 March
2021, respectively.
Interest is payable based on the BKBM rate (NZD borrowings), the BBSY rate (AUD borrowings), or the applicable short
term rate for interest periods less than 30 days, plus a margin of up to 1.30%. There are no assets pledged as security in
relation to the unsecured debt in the 2019 financial year (2018: nil).
The covenants entered into by the Group require specified calculations of Group earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) plus lease rental costs to exceed total fixed charges (net interest expense and
lease rental costs) at the end of each half during the financial year. Similarly EBITDA must be no less than a specified
proportion of total net debt at the end of each six month interim period. The calculations of these covenants are specified
in the bank facility agreements of 19 December 2011 and have been complied with at 31 July 2019.
The current interest rates, prior to hedging, on the term loans ranged between 2.31% - 2.47% (2018: 2.60% - 3.17%).

In this section ...
This section outlines how the Group manages its capital structure and related financing costs, including
its balance sheet liquidity and access to capital markets.

Capital structure is how a company finances its overall operations and growth by using different
sources of funds. The Directors determine and monitor the appropriate capital structure of Kathmandu,
specifically how much is raised from shareholders (equity) and how much is borrowed from financial
institutions (debt) in order to finance the Group’s activities both now and in the future.

The Directors consider the Group’s capital structure and dividend policy at least twice a year ahead of
announcing results and do so in the context of its ability to continue as a going concern, to execute
strategy and to deliver its business plan.

1. Debt levels fluctuate throughout the year and as at 31 July, are at a cyclical low. Forecast debt levels are expected to remain
in excess of the interest rate swaps for a significant majority of the year.

Interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating to fixed rates. The cash flow hedge
loss on interest rate swaps at balance sheet date was $111,252 (2018: $117,340).

Summarised sensitivity analysis
The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities to interest rate risk.
A sensitivity of 1% (2018: 1%) has been selected for interest rate risk. The 1% is based on reasonably possible changes
over a financial year, using the observed range of historical data for the preceding five year period.
Amounts are shown net of income tax. All variables other than applicable interest rates are held constant. The impact on
equity is presented exclusive of the impact on retained earnings.

4.2 Derivative financial instruments

Accounting policies
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-
measured to their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is
designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain
derivatives as hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).
At inception of the hedging relationship, the Group documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments
and hedged items, including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset
changes in the cash flows of the hedged items. The Group also documents its risk management objectives and strategy
for undertaking its hedge transactions.

Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is
recognised in equity in the hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately
in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the periods when
the hedged item will affect profit or loss. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition
of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory) or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in
equity are transferred from equity and included in the measurement of the initial cost or carrying amount of the asset or
liability.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge
accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the
forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. When a forecast
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately
transferred to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates
of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, except when deferred in other comprehensive
income. Translation differences on monetary financial assets and liabilities are reported as part of the fair value gain or
loss.

Keeping it simple ...
A derivative is a type of financial instrument typically used to manage risk. A derivative’s value
changes over time in response to underlying variables such as exchange rates or interest rates and is
entered into for a fixed period. A hedge is where a derivative is used to manage an underlying
exposure.

The Group is exposed to changes in interest rates on its borrowings and to changes in foreign
exchange rates on its foreign currency (largely USD) purchases. The Group uses derivatives to hedge
these underlying exposures.

Derivative financial instruments are initially included in the balance sheet at their fair value, either as
assets or liabilities, and are subsequently re-measured at fair value at each reporting date.
An interest rate swap is an instrument to exchange a fixed rate of interest for a floating rate, or vice
versa, or one type of floating rate for another.

The above table shows the Group’s financial derivative holdings at year end.

Interest rate swaps - cash flow hedge
Interest rate swaps are to exchange a floating rate of interest for a fixed rate of interest. The objective of the transaction
is to hedge the core floating rate borrowings of the business to minimise the impact of interest rate volatility within
acceptable levels of risk thereby limiting the volatility on the Group's financial results. The notional amount of interest rate
swaps at balance sheet date was $23,263,048 (2018: $37,586,507). The fixed interest rates range between 1.32% and
2.63% (2018: 2.12% and 3.05%). Refer section 4.1.3 for timing of contractual cash flows relating to interest rate swaps.

Foreign exchange contracts - cash flow hedge
The objective of these contracts is to hedge highly probable anticipated foreign currency purchases against currency
fluctuations. These contracts are timed to mature when import purchases are scheduled for payment. The notional
amount of foreign exchange contracts amount to US$79,350,000, NZ$115,606,572 (2018: US$102,300,000,
NZ$144,562,936).
No material hedge ineffectiveness for interest rate swaps or foreign exchange contracts exists as at balance sheet date
(2018: nil).
Refer to section 4.2.1 for a sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange risk associated with derivative financial instruments.

4.2.1 Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates will impact the Group’s financial performance. The
Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures,
primarily with respect to the AUD, USD and the GBP.

The Group is exposed to currency risk on any cash remitted between Australia, the United Kingdom, United States of
America and New Zealand. The Group does not hedge for such remittances. Interest on borrowings is denominated in
either New Zealand dollars or Australian dollars, and is paid for out of surplus operating cashflows generated in New
Zealand or Australia.

Summarised sensitivity analysis
The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities to foreign exchange
risk.
A sensitivity of -10% / +10% (2018: -10% / +10%) for foreign exchange risk has been selected. While it is unlikely that an
equal movement of the New Zealand dollar would be observed against all currencies, an overall sensitivity of -10% /
+10% (2018: -10% / +10%) is reasonable given the exchange rate volatility observed on a historic basis for the preceding
five year period and market expectation for potential future movements.
Amounts are shown net of income tax. All variables other than applicable exchange rates are held constant. The impact
on equity is presented exclusive of the impact on retained earnings.

Foreign currency translation reserve
The FCTR is used to record foreign currency translation differences arising on the translation of the Group entities results
and financial position. The amounts are accumulated in other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss
when the foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold.

Share based payments reserve
The share based payments reserve is used to recognise the fair value of share options and performance rights granted
but not exercised or lapsed. Amounts are transferred to share capital when vested options are exercised by the
employee or performance rights are vested.

Section 5: Group Structure

5.1 Acquisition of Oboz Footwear LLC
In April 2018 Kathmandu Holdings Limited through its wholly-owned subsidiary Kathmandu US Holdings LLC acquired
100% of the equity interests in Oboz Footwear LLC based out of Bozeman, Montana. The total purchase price was
USD$60,000,000 plus a proportionate contingent earn out of up to USD$15,000,000 based on an EBITDA target for the
year ending 31 December 2018.
In accordance with the sale and purchase agreement the full contingent earn out of NZD$22,321,000 (USD$15,000,000)
was paid in April 2019. This cash consideration was paid using funds held in escrow on term deposit since acquisition.
The acquisition accounting fair value adjustments were on a provisional basis in the Group’s 31 July 2018 consolidated
financial statements. The acquisition accounting adjustments have now been finalised and updated to reflect
independent valuations performed on the net assets recognised on acquisition. As a result, the following adjustments (in
NZD) have been recognised in the prior period; a decrease in the customer relationship ($11,984,000), a decrease in the
deferred tax liability ($3,552,000), an increase in retained earnings ($139,000) and a corresponding increase in goodwill
($8,571,000).

Remuneration Detail – refer to section 6.3.
6.2 Fair values
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values for each class of financial instrument:
Trade debtors, trade creditors and bank balances
The carrying value of these items is equivalent to their fair value.
Term liabilities
The fair value of the Group's term liabilities is estimated based on current market rates available to the Group for debt of
similar maturity. The fair value of term liabilities equates to their current carrying value.
Foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps
The fair value of these instruments is determined using valuation techniques (as they are not traded in an active market).
These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as
possible on entity specific estimates.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include the fair value of interest rate swaps. These are
calculated at the present value of the estimated future cash flows, based on observable yield curves and the fair value of
forward foreign exchange contracts, as determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date, with the
resulting value discounted back to present value.
These derivatives have all been determined to be within level 2 (for the purposes of NZ IFRS 13) of the fair value
hierarchy as all significant inputs required to ascertain the fair value of these derivatives are observable.
Guarantees and overdraft facilities
The fair value of these instruments is estimated on the basis that management do not expect settlement at face value to
arise. The carrying value and fair value of these instruments are approximately nil. All guarantees are payable on
demand.

6.4 Employee share based remuneration
Accounting policy
Equity settled long term incentive plan
The Executive and Senior Management Long Term Incentive plan grants Group employees performance rights subject to
performance hurdles being met. The fair value of rights granted is recognised as an employee expense in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income with a corresponding increase in the employee share based payments
reserve. The fai r value is measured at grant date and amortised over the vesting periods. The fair value of the rights
granted is measured using the Kathmandu Holdings Limited share price as at the grant date less the present value of the
dividends forecast to be paid prior to each vesting date. When performance rights vest, the amount in the share based
payments reserve relating to those rights are transferred to share capital. When any vested performance rights lapse
upon employee termination, the amount in the share based payments reserve relating to those rights is transferred to
retained earnings.
Executive and Senior Management Long Term Incentive Plan
On 20 November 2013, shareholders approved at the Annual Meeting the continuation of an Employee Long Term
Incentive Plan (LTI) (previously established 24 November 2010) to grant performance rights to Executive Directors,
Senior Managers, Other Key Management Personnel and Wider Leadership Management.
Executive Directors and Senior Managers
Performance rights granted to Executive Directors and Senior Managers are summarised below:

1,157,710 261,388 (407,463) -1,011,635
The performance rights granted on 20 December 2018 are Long Term Incentive components only.
Long Term Incentive performance rights vest in equal tranches. In each tranche the rights are subject to a combination of
a relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) hurdle and/or an EPS growth hurdle. The relative weighting and number of
tranches for each grant date are shown in the table below:
Grant Date Tranches EPS Weighting TSR Weighting
20 Dec 2018 1 50% 50%
20 Dec 2017 1 50% 50%
19 Dec 2016 1 50% 50%
The proportion of rights subject to the relative TSR hurdle is dependent on Kathmandu Holdings Limited’s TSR
performance relative to a defined comparable group of companies in New Zealand and Australia listed on either the ASX
or NZX. The percentage of TSR related rights vest according to the following performance criteria:

The TSR performance is calculated for the following performance periods:

Tranche 2019 2018
Tranche 1 36 months to 1 December 2021 36 months to 1 December 2020

The fair value of the TSR rights have been valued under a Monte Carlo simulation approach predicting Kathmandu
Holdings Limited’s TSR relative to the comparable group of companies at the respective vesting dates for each tranche.
The fair value of TSR rights, along with the assumptions used to simulate the future share prices using a random-walk
process are shown below:

2019 2018
Fair value of TSR rights $205,190 $267,161
Current price at grant date $2.77 $2.42
Risk free interest rate 1.76% 2.06%
Expected life (years) 3 3
Expected share volatility 28.9% 43.0%

The estimated fair value for each tranche of rights issued is amortised over the vesting period from the grant date.

The proportion of rights subject to the EPS growth hurdle is dependent on the compound average annual growth in
Kathmandu Holdings Limited’s EPS relative to the year ending 31 July 2018. The applicable performance periods are:

Tranche 2019 Performance Period 2018 Performance Period
Tranche 1 FY21 EPS relative to FY18 EPS FY20 EPS relative to FY17 EPS

The percentage of the 2019 EPS growth related rights scales according to the compound average annual EPS growth
achieved as follows:

EPS Growth 2019 % Rights
Vesting
EPS Growth 2018 % Rights
Vesting
< 7% 0% < 7% 0%
>=7%, < 8% 50% >=7%, < 8% 50%

>=11%, < 12% 90% >=11%, < 12% 90%
>=12% 100% >=12% 100%

The fair value of the EPS rights have been assessed as the Kathmandu Holdings Limited share price as at the grant date
less the present value of the dividends forecast to be paid prior to each vesting date. The estimated fair value for each
tranche of options issued is amortised over the vesting period from the grant date.

Vesting of Long Term Incentive performance rights also require remaining in employment with the Company during the
performance period.

Other Key Management Personnel and Wider Leadership Management
Performance rights granted to Other Key Management Personnel and Wider Leadership Management are all Short Term
Incentives under the shareholder approved Employee Long Term Incentive Plan, and are summarised below:

calculated to be NZ$2.54 per right (2018: NZ$2.14).

The non-market performance hurdles set for the year ending 31 July 2019 were met and accordingly an expense has
been recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Summary of Changes Group Impact

Financial
Instruments
1 August 2018 Addresses the classification,
measurement and de-
recognition of financial assets
and financial liabilities and
new rules for hedge
accounting.
The Group has reviewed its financial assets and
liabilities and noted no material impact from the
adoption of NZ IFRS 9.
The Group has assessed which business models
apply to its financial assets and classified these
into the appropriate categories under NZ IFRS 9.
The only reclassification arising is the financial
assets previously classified as loans and
receivables now fall into the amortised cost
category.
The financial assets classified in the amortised
cost category are now subject to the new
impairment model which requires the recognition
of impairment provisions based on expected credit
losses (ECL). Under NZ IAS 39 an incurred credit
loss model was applied. Based on the Group’s
assessment of historical provision rates and
forward-looking analysis, there is no material
financial impact on the impairment provisions.
NZ IFRS 9 does not impact the classification or
measurement of the Group’s financial liabilities.
The new hedge accounting rules align the
accounting for hedging instruments more closely
with the group’s risk management practices. The
Group has confirmed that its current hedge
relationships qualify as continuing hedges under
NZ IFRS 9. Accordingly, there is no significant
impact on the accounting treatment for the
Group’s hedging relationships. The nature and
extent of the Group’s disclosure note in relation to
its hedging relationships has been changed in

NZ IFRS 15
Revenue from
Contracts with
Customers
1 August 2018 Establishes the reporting
principles relating to the
nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and
cash flows arising from a
contract with a customer.
The group has reviewed its revenue recognition
policies upon adoption of NZ IFRS 15 and noted
no material impact.
Work focused on segregating the different
revenue streams within the business. The majority
of revenue is made up of in store transactions with
21% earned through online and wholesale sales.
The following matters were identified to be
relevant to the Group under NZ IFRS 15:
- A customers’ right of return in
determining revenue to be recognised.
Return rates for sales were analysed and
it was determined that there was no
material impact from adoption of NZ
IFRS 15.
- For online sales and wholesale sales,
whether arranging the delivery of goods
is a separate performance obligation as it
may impact the timing, measurement and
classification of revenue recognised.
After assessment of the Group’s current
accounting policies there is no material
impact from adoption of NZ IFRS 15.

NZ IFRS 16
Leases
1 August 2019 Introduces a single lessee
accounting model requiring a
lessee to recognise assets
and liabilities for all leases
with a term of more than 12
months where they are not
considered low value. A right-
of-use asset will be
recognised representing the
right to use the underlying
leased asset and a lease
liability representing the
obligations to make lease
payments. As a
consequence, a lessee
recognises depreciation of the
right-of-use asset and interest
on the lease liability.
This standard will materially impact the Group’s
consolidated financial statements at transition and
in future years, as the Group’s operating leases
(primarily in relation to store, distribution centre
and office leases) are recognised on balance
sheet.
The implementation plan for the new standard is
now complete including;
- Identification of leases and contracts that
include a lease;
- Collation of lease data required for the
calculation of the impact assessment;
- Identification of necessary changes to
systems and processes required to
enable reporting and accounting in
accordance with the new standard; and
- Selection of appropriate accounting
policies around transition method,
discount rates and estimates of lease-
term for leases with options.
The Group will adopt the simplified transition
approach under NZ IFRS 16 in the period ending
31 July 2020 and will not restate comparative
amounts.
Note 2.2 reflects that as at 31 July 2019 the
Group had lease commitments for operating
leases of $206m.

KATHMANDU HOLDINGS LIMITED – ANNUAL REPORT 2019

44

Based on the current leasing arrangements as at
31 July 2019 the application of NZ IFRS 16 is
expected to have the following impact on the
group balance sheet;
- Recognition of a right of use asset of
approximately $177m;
- Recognition of a lease liability of
approximately $212m;
- Reduction in trade and other payables of
approximately $13m;
- Reduction in the deferred tax liability of
approximately $10m; and
- Reduction in opening retained earnings
of approximately $12m.
The impact on the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income for the year ended 31 July
2020 is expected to be a;
- Reduction in selling and administration
and general expenses of approximately
$59m;
- Increase in depreciation and amortisation
of approximately $51m;
- Increase in finance expenses of
approximately $7m.
The impact on each of these line items is
expected to be significant however the overall net
profit after tax is expected to be immaterial.
Operating cash flows for the year ended 31 July
2020 are expected to increase by $48m under NZ
IFRS 16 as result of reclassifying rent payments to
financing activities reflecting the repayment of
lease liabilities.
The above has no effect to the Group and the
change is for financial reporting purposes only.
Current estimates are likely to change for the
period ending 31 July 2020, mainly due to;
- Subsequent movements in the discount
rate;
- New lease contracts entered into by the
Group;
- Any changes to existing lease contracts;
and
- Change in management’s judgement to
exercise rights of renewals under lease
arrangements.

Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholders of Kathmandu Holdings Limited
We have audited the consolidated financial statements which comprise:
the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 July 2019;
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of significant
accounting policies.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Kathmandu Holdings Limited
(the Company), including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Group as at 31 July 2019, its financial performance and its cash flows for the
year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting
Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs
(NZ)) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial
statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised)
Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements.
Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of an assurance compliance
engagement in respect of bank covenant compliance and agreed upon procedures for store turnover
certificates. The provision of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of the
Group.

Our audit approach
Overview
An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
Overall Group materiality: $4 million, which represents approximately 5%
of profit before tax.
We chose profit before tax as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the
benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly
measured by users, and is a generally accepted benchmark.
We agreed with the Audit and Risk Committee that we would report to
them misstatements identified during the audit above $400,000.
We have determined that there is two key audit matters:
Finalisation of the Oboz Footwear LLC purchase price allocation; and
Inventory valuation and existence
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,
including the overall Group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out
above. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit,
the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both
individually and in aggregate on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
Audit scope
We designed our audit by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial
statements and our application of materiality. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of
management override of internal controls including among other matters, consideration of whether
there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an
opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the
Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industries in which the Group operates.
The accounting function for Kathmandu is maintained in New Zealand, the Oboz accounting function
is located in the USA. The Group audit was conducted by a New Zealand based team.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

PwC 47

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Finalisation of the Oboz Footwear LLC
purchase price allocation
As disclosed in note 5.1 of the financial
statements, the Group acquired 100%
of the shares of Oboz Footwear LLC
(Oboz), on 4 April 2018, for
consideration of $103.1 million of
which $22.3 million was contingent on
an EBITDA target being met for the
year ending 31 December 2018.

The purchase price included
identifiable tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Management engaged a third party
(management expert) to assist in a
process to identify and determine the
fair value of these assets and liabilities.

In addition to Goodwill of $62.9
million management identified
intangible assets relating to Brand and
Customer Relationships held by Oboz
valued at $34.5 million and $1.7
million respectively.

Our audit focused on this area because
significant judgement and estimates
are involved in identifying and
determining the fair value of the
intangible assets acquired.
In responding to the significant judgements involved in
identifying and valuing the intangible assets acquired we:

 Reviewed the sale and purchase agreement and other
documents related to the acquisition to obtain an
understanding of the transaction and to confirm the
consideration;
 Confirmed the final EBITDA target was achieved and
the contingent consideration was paid;
 Met with Group and Oboz management to obtain an
understanding of the business process undertaken to
identify and value the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed;
 Considered whether identification and recognition of
intangible assets was consistent with the requirements
of the accounting standards;
 Engaged our internal valuation expert to assess the
appropriateness of assets identified and the valuation
methodology applied by managements expert;
 Discussed the valuation methodology and
assumptions with managements expert; and
 Considered whether the relevant disclosures were
appropriate in the consolidated financial statements.
From the procedures performed we have no matters to
report.

PwC 48

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Inventory valuation and existence
At 31 July 2019, the Group held
inventories of $122.8 million.
Inventory valuation and existence was
an audit focus area because of the
number of stores/locations that
inventory was held at, and the
judgement applied in the valuation of
inventory to incorporate inventory
shrinkage. As described in note 3.1.1 of
the financial statements, inventories
are carried at the lower of cost and net
realisable value on a weighted average
basis.
The Group has systems and processes
including a barcode inventory
management system to accurately
record inventory movements.
Management engage an independent
third party to complete full stock takes
at each store twice a year. This process
is managed centrally by head office for
consistency. Daily cycle counts are
performed at the New Zealand and
Australian distribution centres. A full
inventory count was performed at the
US Oboz distribution centre at year
end.
There are judgements applied in
assessing the level of provision for
inventory shrinkage. Management
provide for shrinkage each month on a
location by location basis. The level of
provision is based on historical
inventory counts and stocktake
shrinkage trends.

We performed a number of audit procedures over
inventory existence and valuation. We
 Observed the stocktake process at selected store
locations near period end and undertook our own test
counts;
 Attended the year end Oboz distribution centre count
and performed independent test counts;
 Validated all stores had been counted twice in the year
by an independent third party by selecting a sample of
locations not visited by us and inspected results of
stock counts held and confirmed variances were
correctly accounted for and approved by head office
management;
 Observed the daily stocktake process at the
Christchurch and Melbourne distribution centres near
period end and undertook our own test counts. We
also validated that daily counts occurred by selecting a
sample of days for each location and inspected the
count records for those days;
 Assessed the inventory shrinkage provision by
reviewing the level of inventory write downs during
the period. We tested the shrinkage rate used to
calculate the provision for each store since the last
stocktake by comparing it to the actual shrinkage rate
in prior periods;
 Assessed store inventory counts performed post year
end to ensure the actual level of shrinkage was
consistent with the year-end provisioning;
 Held discussions with management, including
merchandising personnel, to understand and
corroborate the assumptions applied in estimating
inventory provisions;
 Evaluated key assumption made by management that
current shrinkage levels were consistent with historical
levels through an analysis of inventory items by
category and age and the level of inventory write-
downs during the period compared to prior periods;
and
 Tested that inventory on hand at the end of the period
was recorded at the lower of cost and net realisable
value by testing a sample of inventory items to the
most recent retail price.
From the procedures performed we have no matters to
report.

Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report
The Directors are responsible for the annual report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial
statements does not cover the other information included in the annual report and we do not, and will
not, express any form of assurance conclusion on the other information.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information
that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report
in this regard, except that not all other information was available to us at the date of our signing.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial statements
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of
the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal
control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate
the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the
External Reporting Board’s website at:
https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-
report-1/

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Who we report to

undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s
report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our
audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.
