10
(1)Represents pro forma normalised combined FY19 revenue. Kathmandu revenue represents statutory revenue for the financial yearending 31 July 2019. Rip Curl revenue represents pro forma normalised revenue for the financial year ending 30 June 2019
(2)EPS accretion has been calculated by comparing Kathmandu’s budgeted standalone FY20 EPS (calculated assuming that the acquisition does not occur, and adjusted for the impact of the pro-rata accelerated entitlement offer) against the Combined Group pro forma FY20
EPS excluding any synergies and one-off transaction costs. The Combined Group pro forma FY20 EPS is based on: (i) Kathmandu’s standalone budgeted FY20 EBIT; (ii) Rip Curl’s standalone budgeted FY20 EBIT; (iii) estimated incremental amortisation costs associated with
the expected purchase price allocations arising from the transaction (noting that, on completion, a formal purchase price allocation exercise will be completed which may give rise to a change in this expense); (iv) the assumed transaction debt funding structure and associated
interest costs; and (v) Kathmandu’s pro forma number of shares outstanding post transaction (accounting for both new shares issued under the pro-rata accelerated entitlement offer, and new shares issued to the vendors in the Vendor Placement).

KATHMANDU HOLDINGS LIMITED
ASX / NZX ANNOUNCEMENT
22 November 2019
KATHMANDU HOLDINGS LIMITED – CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS TO ANNUAL MEETING
FY19 was another strong year for Kathmandu financially. Strong sales growth, particularly through online
channels and from Oboz, and well controlled operating expenses allowed the combined business to reach
record profits.
Our team are proud to have delivered four years of consecutive sales and profit growth, at the same time
as executing on the Company’s transformation from a leading Australasian retailer to a brand-led global
multi-channel business.
Post financial year end, we were excited to announce the completion of the acquisition of Rip Curl. We
would very much like to acknowledge the overwhelming support of our shareholders through the equity
raising process, and their approval of the acquisition at our Special Meeting held on the 18th of October.
Xavier will talk through the highlights of the acquisition in his presentation. I would like to take this
opportunity to welcome Rip Curl’s CEO, Michael Daly, and his team to the Kathmandu Group, and also
congratulate Reuben Casey for his promotion to CEO of the Kathmandu business following the acquisition.
Director Sandra McPhee retired from the board in September. Sandra brought significant non-executive
director experience and knowledge of a wide range of consumer facing sectors to the board. Her insight
and judgement have been extremely beneficial for the company. We thank Sandra very much for her
service and wish her all the best for her future endeavours.
Following an extensive international search, I am very pleased to welcome Andrea Martens to the Board.
Andrea brings first rate experience and knowledge of consumer brand strategies. Her appointment adds
important skills and experience to the board as we implement our global growth strategies across multiple
brands.
On behalf of my fellow directors, I would like to thank management and the wider team for their hard work
in delivering another great year, both financially and operationally. I would also like to thank all our
shareholders for their support over the past 12 months and into the future.
David Kirk
Chairman
