MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT

28 November 2019

Gentrack Group FY19 results

Gentrack Group Limited (NZX/ASX: GTK), a market leader in software solutions for utilities and

airports, announces its financial results for the year to 30 September 2019.

Highlights (NZ$)

• Revenue $111.7m: up 7% on FY18

• Recurring Revenue $78.2m: up 22% on FY18

• EBITDA

1

$24.8m: down 20% on FY18

• Adjusted NPAT

2

$9.6m: down 31% on FY18

• NPAT ($3.3m): after $14.6m impairment

• Final Dividend 3.0cps: bringing full year dividend to 8.0cps


Revenue for FY19 was up 7% on prior year to $111.7m and EBITDA was down 20% to $24.8m for

the same period. With a continued transition to SaaS on all new utilities business, recurring

revenues were up 22% on FY18 and now account for 70% of total revenue, with non-recurring

revenue from project services and licences falling 24%. Despite challenging market conditions,

the UK business achieved 36% revenue growth on FY18 with the addition of four new energy

customers, a water utility customer and three new Evolve projects.

Debt provisions of $2.4m mainly relating to UK utilities customers, and continued investment in

people and product development have contributed to lower EBITDA.

The full year reported net loss after tax of ($3.3m) reflected the full impairment of CA+

intangibles and goodwill of $14.6m at half year. Adjusted Net Profit After Tax of $9.6m is down

31% from $13.9m in FY18.

A final dividend of 3.0cps has been declared taking the full year dividend to 8.0cps. This

represents a total pay-out of $7.9m and 82% of Adjusted NPAT

.

Ian Black, CEO said, “It’s been a challenging year for our energy customers with government

intervention in pricing reducing margins for energy suppliers in the UK and Australia. Despite

this, we have seen many customers leverage our solutions to grow their businesses which has

contributed to increases in our Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for utilities this year, up 26% on

FY18 to $67.9m.

“We have a leading position in the UK energy market with 6.3m meters billed using our solutions

(12.1% market share), up 21% on FY18. Large energy suppliers E.on, EDF and Npower

commenced billing with Gentrack solutions, providing a platform for continued market share

growth in this segment. Our Evolve offering has continued to perform well throughout the year

with further success in the UK, adding three of our existing utilities as customers.

Veovo, the airports business, added Mexico City, Luton and Buenos Aires as new customer

names in FY19. Our largest ever deployment of the airport operations solution at Orlando

Airport also went live in FY19, alongside a major project at Newark Liberty Airport, significantly

lifting our position in North America.

Investment in product development has continued throughout FY19 with total R&D spend up

21% on last year to $13.5m, of which $5.1m was capitalised. Our development program has

delivered the Gentrack Cloud solutions for energy and water retail markets as well as delivering

new camera tracking technologies for passenger management at airports.

With continuing uncertainty in our core UK market, we anticipate results will be broadly flat in

FY20.

All figures are presented in NZ$.

Appendix


NON-GAAP PROFIT REPORTING MEASURES

Gentrack’s standard profit measure prepared under New Zealand GAAP is net profit. Gentrack

has used non-GAAP profit measures when discussing financial performance in this document.

The directors and management believe that these measures provide useful information as they

are used internally to evaluate performance of business units, to establish operational goals and

to allocate resources.

Non-GAAP profit measures are not prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS (New Zealand

International Financial Reporting Standards) and are not uniformly defined, therefore the non-

GAAP profit measures reported in this document may not be comparable with those that other

companies report and should not be viewed in isolation or considered as a substitute for

measures reported by Gentrack in accordance with NZ IFRS.


Definitions

EBITDA: Earnings before net finance expense, tax, depreciation and amortisation, acquisition

related costs and impairment. This provides a measure of the underlying operating profitability

of the business.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the shareholders of Gentrack Group Limited

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated

financial statements of Gentrack Group Limited

(the ’company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') on

pages 6 to 43:

i.present fairly in all material respects the Group’s

financial position as at 30 September 2019 and

its financial performance and cash flows for the

year ended on that date; and

ii.comply with New Zealand Equivalents to

International Financial Reporting Standards and

International Financial Reporting Standards.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated

financial statements which comprise:

— the consolidated statement of financial position

as at 30 September 2019;

— the consolidated statements of comprehensive

income, changes in equity and cash flows for

the year then ended; and

— notes, including a summary of significant

accounting policies and other explanatory

information.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ ISAs (NZ)’) . 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 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 and the

IESBA Code.

Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the

consolidated financial statements section of our report.

Our firm has also provided other services to the group in relation to tax compliance, tax advisory and other

assurance services. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the

group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group. These

matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of the group. The firm has no other relationship with, or

interest in, the group.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine the

nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually

and on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the consolidated financial

statements as a whole was set at $0.8m determined with reference to a benchmark of group Profit before tax

adjusted for impairment. We chose the benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the group’s

performance.

AUDITOR’S REPORT / 2

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit

of the consolidated financial statements in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key

audit procedures to address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the

process by which we arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely

for the purpose of our statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not

express discrete opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements.

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

1. Revenue from implementation services

Refer to note 3.2 of the consolidated financial

statements.

The Group has reported revenues of $112m

(2018: $104m) which includes

implementation services revenue of $26m.

We focussed on the revenue from

implementation services as a key audit matter

due to inherent complexities of software

implementation projects and the estimates

involved.

Revenue from implementation services is

recognised based on the stage of completion

calculated using either the proportion of

actual hours at the reporting date compared

to managements estimates for total forecast

hours or with reference to milestones.

Accurate recording of revenue is highly

dependent on:

−Detailed knowledge of individual

characteristics of a contract, including

unique terms, knowledge of software

and length of time to complete

contractual milestones;

−Ongoing adjustments to estimated hours

to complete implementation taking into

consideration changes in scope,

estimated timing and project delays; and

−Changes to total project revenue for

contract variations or additional billing for

changes in scope or additional hours

incurred.

We focused our procedures on the implementation service

projects that were in progress at balance date based on the

significance of implementation service revenue to the total

revenue of the Group.

For the projects selected for testing we checked that revenue

recognised is consistent with contractual terms, including

considering how the initial licence fee, design and implementation,

and maintenance phases of the contract are arranged.

We recalculated the stage of completion based on hours to date as

a proportion of total forecast hours or with reference to

milestones. We also inspected a sample of milestone billings and

compared those to invoice and cash receipts and considered the

reasonableness of the related balance sheet positions.

We assessed the forecast hours through discussion with project

managers and senior management and challenged key

assumptions, including consideration of alternative scenarios and

how management addressed risks in the contract.

We compared significant changes in total forecast hours to

correspondence with customers, legal documentation or contract

variations. We evaluated potential exposure to liquidated damages

by reviewing legal correspondence and correspondence with

customers.

We also considered the historical accuracy of managements’

estimates of forecast hours by analysing previous forecasts to

actual hours.

2. Revenue recognition

Refer to notes 2.5 and 3.2 of the consolidated

financial statements.

The Group’s contracts with its customers

involve the delivery of multiple services:

annual fees, license fees and project services,

and support services.

Our audit procedures to assess the recognition of revenue included

the following:

We examined the appropriateness of assumptions and judgements

made by management in assessing customer contracts and

measuring the allocation of the contract revenue to multiple

deliverables.

AUDITOR’S REPORT / 3

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
We regard revenue recognition as a key audit

matter due to the complexity of certain

contracts requiring management to exercise

judgement relating to classification and

measurement in line with the Group revenue

recognition policy. Furthermore, the Group

transitioned to NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from

Contracts with Customers (‘NZ IFRS 15’) in

the current financial year.

We matched a sample of revenue transactions to the underlying

contracts and cash receipts in order to verify the appropriateness

of revenue recognised.

With respect to NZ IFRS 15 transition we examined management`s

assessment of the impact on the Group`s revenue recognition

policy. This involved reviewing a sample of contracts with

customers representative of key revenue streams to assess the

accuracy and completeness of the analysis prepared by

management.

We considered the NZ IFRS 15 impact on the Group`s financial

statements including our technical specialists assessing the

completeness of necessary disclosures according to NZ IFRS 15

requirements.

3. Impairment assessment

Refer to note 5.3 of the consolidated financial

statements.

Impairment assessment is considered a key

audit matter due to the subjective nature of

impairment models and the significant

judgements and estimates management uses

to determine the expected financial

performance and value in use of the Group’s

cash generating units. This requires

management to make assumptions in relation

to forecasted cash flows, the terminal growth

rate and discount rates used in a discounted

cash flow model.

As a result of management’s impairment

assessment, goodwill and intangibles

amounting to $14.6m relating to the CA Plus

cash generating unit was impaired in full.

To evaluate management’s assessment of the value in use of the

respective cash generating units:

We considered management’s conclusion on separately

identifiable cash generating units.

We assessed the significant future cash flow assumptions by

comparing actual results to business plans, strategies and

budgets. We examined the documentation supporting the

budgeting process and inspected the forecasted pipeline for FY

2020.

Our corporate finance specialists examined whether the

methodology adopted in the discounted cash flow value in use

models is consistent with accepted valuation approaches within

the software industry. In addition, our specialists assessed the

mathematical accuracy of the models, and considered whether

the discount and terminal growth rate assumptions applied to the

estimated future cash flows are within an acceptable range for

the industry and lifecycle of the businesses.

We also challenged the assumptions and judgements used by

management by performing sensitivity analysis, considering a

range of likely outcomes based on various scenarios.

Where management concluded impairment is necessary (CA Plus

Limited), we considered the extent of impairment with reference

to historic performance, future business plans and pipelines, and

degree of management`s uncertainty in relation to future financial

performance.

Other information

The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for the other information included in the entity’s Annual

Report. Other information includes the Chairman and Chief Executive’s report and disclosures relating to

corporate governance. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover any other

information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this Independent Auditor's Report. Our

responsibility is to read the Annual Report when it becomes available and consider whether the other information

it contains is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the

audit, or otherwise appear misstated. If so, we are required to report such matters to the Directors.

AUDITOR’S REPORT / 4

Use of this independent auditor’s r eport
This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our audit work has been

undertaken so that we might state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the

independent 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 shareholders as a body for our audit work, this independent

auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial

statements

The Directors, on behalf of the company, are responsible for:

— the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally

accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards) and International Financial Reporting Standards;

— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated set of financial

statements that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related

to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate 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 objective is:

— 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 independent 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 will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 these consolidated financial statements is located at

the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at:

http://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/

General information Accounting polices Critical judgements

General information

The notes are consolidated into nine sections. Each section contains an introduction and general information which is indicated

by the symbol above. The layout of these financial statements has been streamlined to present them in a way that is more intuitive for

readers to follow. This is achieved by laying out the accounting policies and critical judgements alongside the notes and focusing

information in a way which provides increased clarity and ease of understanding.

The first section details general information above Gentrack Group Limited (the Company and its subsidiaries, collectively Gentrack Group)

and guidance on how to navigate through the financial statements.

Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out throughout the

document where they are applicable. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Certain comparatives have been updated to ensure consistency with current year presentation.

Accounting policies are identified by this symbol above.

Critical judgements

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions

that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in

relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on

historical experience and on various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form

the basis of the carrying values for assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ

from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial

position reported in future periods.

Further details of the nature of these critical judgements and estimates may be found throughout the financial statements as they are

applicable and are identified by this symbol.

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This section outlines the legislation and accounting standards which have been followed in the preparation of the financial

statements along with explaining how the information has been consolidated and presented.

2.1 KEY LEGISLATION AND ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The financial statements of Gentrack Group have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

(NZ GAAP). They comply with the New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable

Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate to profit-oriented entities. The financial statements comply with International Financial

Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Gentrack Group is an FMC entity for the purposes of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and is listed

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

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Reporting Act 2013, Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013 and the Companies Act 1993.

2.2 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

Subsidiaries are entities over which Gentrack Group has control. Gentrack Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to,

variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. In

assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are exercisable are taken into account. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the

date that control is transferred to Gentrack Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by Gentrack Group.

Intra-group balances and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are fully eliminated in preparing the

financial statements.

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY

Items included in the financial statements of each of Gentrack Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic

environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars (NZD)

which is Gentrack Group’s presentation currency. All financial information has been presented rounded to the nearest thousand dollars

($000) in the financial statements.

TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the

transactions. 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 s tatement of c omprehensive

income. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of c omprehensive income within net finance expense.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION RESERVE (FCTR)

Gentrack Group translates the results of its foreign operations from their functional currencies to the presentation currency using the

closing exchange rate at balance date for assets and liabilities and the average monthly exchange rates for income and expenses. The

difference arising from the translation of the s tatement of f inancial position at the closing rates and the statement of comprehensive

income at the average rates is recorded within the foreign currency translation reserve within the statement of changes in equity.


2.3 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is

transferred to Gentrack Group. Control is the exposure or right to variable returns from involvement with the entity and the ability to affect those

returns through power over the entity.

Gentrack Group recognises the fair value of all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business. Goodwill is

measured as the excess cost of the acquisition over the recognised assets and liabilities. When the excess is negative (negative goodwill), the

amount is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive i ncome.

N
OTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 14

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019

2.3 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)

Gentrack Group applies the anticipated acquisition method where it has the right and the obligation to purchase any remaining non-

controlling interest (so-called put/call arrangements). Under the anticipated acquisition method, the interests of the non-controlling

shareholder are derecognised when Gentrack Group’s liability relating to the purchase of its shares is recognised. The recognition of the financial

liability implies that the interests subject to the purchase are deemed to have been acquired already. Therefore, the corresponding interests

are presented as already owned by Gentrack Group even though legally they are still non-controlling interests. The initial measurement of the

fair value of the financial liability recognised by Gentrack Group forms part of the consideration for the acquisition.

Gentrack Group has not made any acquisitions during the year ended 30 September 2019. For details of acquisitions made in the prior year

refer to the 2018 Annual Report.

2.5 ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

A number of new or amended accounting standards became applicable for the year ended 30 September 2019 and Gentrack Group has

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

•NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (NZ IFRS 15)

•NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (NZ IFRS 9)

The impact of adopting these new accounting standards is disclosed below.

NZ IFRS 15 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS – IMPACT OF ADOPTION

NZ IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaced NZ

IAS 18: Revenue. Under NZ IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the

timing of the transfer of control – at a point in time or over time – requires judgement. In transitioning to NZ IFRS 15 Gentrack Group has

applied the modified retrospective method.

Gentrack Group conducted a detailed review of its customer contracts and management concluded that the implementation of NZ IFRS 15

has no material impact on the way in which Gentrack Group recognises revenue. Therefore, there is no requirement to restate revenue in

prior periods. Gentrack Group’s accounting policies have been amended to ensure the 5-step method, as defined in NZ IFRS 15, is applied

consistently to revenue recognition processes across Gentrack Group.

In assessing the impact of NZ IFRS 15 on Gentrack Group, management has selected to group the revenue contracts with its customers

based on the nature, terms and other similarities sitting within each respective contract type. Such contracts were considered as

representative contracts within each segment and were analysed for the purposes of NZ IFRS 15. The 5-step model in NZ IFRS 15 was then

applied to each representative contract to assess the impact on revenue recognition.

The 5-step method for recognising revenue under NZ IFRS 15 is summarised below:

1.Identify the contract with the customer

2.Identify the performance obligations

3.Determine the transaction price

4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations

5.Recognise revenue

The table below provides further information on the application of NZ I

FRS 15 and how it has been applied to the major revenue types

contained in Gentrack Group’s two operating segments.

(1) Applicable to the Utility segment only.

In terms of impact to the presentation of the financial statements, NZ IFRS 15 requires the disaggregation of revenue to provide clear and

meaningful information. For Gentrack Group, management has concluded that presentation of revenue in terms of the method of revenue

recognition is most appropriate. Therefore, revenue is disaggregated in the operating segments note (refer to note 3.1) as the amounts

recognised at a point in time and over time. Revenue is also disaggregated by revenue type in note 3.2 .

NZ IFRS 9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – IMPACT OF ADOPTION

NZ IFRS 9: Financial Instruments replaces NZ IAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and brings together three

aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting.

The adoption of NZ IFRS 9 from 1 October 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in

the financial statements. The new accounting policies are set out in the section below, along with the impact of adopting NZ IFRS 9.

Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of NZ IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except Gentrack Group has used

an exemption not to restate comparative information.

N
OTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 17

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019

2.5 ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT

NZ IFRS 9 principally impacts the following classifications of financial assets for Gentrack Group:

•Cash and cash equivalents

•Trade receivables

From 1 October 2018, Gentrack Group classifies its financial assets at amortised cost (previously classified as loans and receivables under

NZ IAS 39). There was no change in the carrying value of the financial assets as a result of the reclassification. At initial recognition,

Gentrack 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 October 2018, Gentrack Group assess 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, Gentrack Group considers both forward looking information and

financial history of the counterparties to assess the probability of default. Gentrack Group defines default as a counterparty not satisfying

their contractual obligations in relation to the financial asset.

For trade receivables NZ IFRS 9 requires expected lifetime credit losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the trade receivable.

When there is no reasonable expectation of recovery trade receivables are written off.

The expected credit loss allowance is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected credit loss rates. Gentrack Group uses

judgement in making these assumptions and selecting appropriate inputs to the impairment calculation. This is based on Gentrack Group’s

past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each period. Further information on the key

judgements and assumptions are detailed below.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

While cash and cash equivalents are subject to the impairment requirements of NZ IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss is nil.

TRADE RECEIVABLES

Gentrack Group has applied the lifetime expected credit loss approach for trade receivables under NZ IFRS 9. To measure the expected

credit loss, 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 using the following inputs:

•Baseline characteristic considers the age of each invoice and applies an increasing expected credit loss estimate as the invoice ages.

•The ageing characteristic considers the history of each specific customer and if the customer has a significant proportion of overdue

invoices an additional provision is added.

•The Country, Customer and Market characteristics consider the relative risk related to the country where the customer resides and

assesses the financial strength of the customer and the market position Gentrack Group has achieved within that market.

An increase of $0.4m in the allowance for impairment under the expected credit loss model was recognised in opening retained earnings at

During the year the proportion of trade receivables past due in each of the ageing buckets has improved, but the overall trade receivable

balance has increased. This has resulted in a slight increase in the expected credit loss allowance, the movement in the expected credit loss

allowance has been recognised within administrative expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.6 IMPACT OF STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

The International Accounting Standards Board has issued a number of standards, amendments and interpretations which are not yet effective,

and which may have an impact on Gentrack Group’s financial statements.

These are detailed below. Gentrack Group has not applied these in preparing these financial statements and will apply each standard in the

reporting period in which the standard becomes mandatory:

NZ IFRS 16 LEASES

NZ IFRS 16 Leases 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 Gentrack Group for reporting periods beginning on, or after

1 October 2019. Gentrack Group does not intend to adopt the standard before its mandatory effective date.

Under NZ IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of

time in exchange for consideration. Under NZ IAS 17, a lessee was required to make a distinction between an operating lease (off balance

sheet) and a finance lease (on balance sheet). NZ IFRS 16 requires a lessee to recognise a lease liability reflecting the future lease payments

and a ‘right-of-use’ asset for almost all lease contracts. The statement of comprehensive income will be impacted by the recognition of an

interest expense and a depreciation expense with premise rental and office equipment expenses being significantly impacted.

For Gentrack Group, the impact will be primarily focused on the accounting for operating leases. As at the reporting date, Gentrack Group

has operating lease commitments of $29.4m. Upon adoption, NZ IFRS 16 will have a significant impact upon Gentrack Group’s statement of

financial position and statement of comprehensive income.

To calculate the impact of NZ IFRS 16 as at 1 October 2019, being the date of adoption, Gentrack Group’s management has developed a

detailed model. Management has had to apply judgement across several parameters that input into this model as follows:

• The lease term including potential renewals for which Gentrack has a right to exercise;

• The incremental borrowing rate that is used to discount lease assets and liabilities.

As a result of the calculations and the application of judgement within the model, management is able to quantify the potential impact of

NZ IFRS 16 based on the current lease arrangements across Gentrack Group. Management expects that there will be material impact across

the following line items in the statement of financial position:

• Recognition of right-of-use assets of $17.5m;

• Recognition of a lease liability $22.9m;

• Derecognition of lease incentive liability of $3.9m; and

• Decrease in opening retained earnings $1.5m.

The expected impact on the statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 September 2020 across the following lines items

are estimated as follows:

• Increase in finance expense (recognised as interest expense) $1.2m;

• Increase in depreciation and amortisation expense $2.5m; and

• Decrease in premises and office equipment expenses contained in administrative expenses $3.5m.

Estimates are subject to change at the time of adoption and for the year ended 30 September 2020 due to:

• Any changes in managements judgements as they apply;

• Outcome of renewals under lease agreements;

• Any changes to existing leasing arrangements;

• New lease contracts entered into; and

• Finalisation of management’s judgements and changes to the discount rates.

The implementation of NZ IFRS 16 has no cash impact to Gentrack Group as changes are limited to financial reporting requirements only.

Gentrack Group intends to implement the simplified transition approach as defined in the standard for the year ended 30 September 2020

and will not restate comparative amounts for the period prior to adoption.

3. GROUP PERFORMANCE

This section outlines further details of Gentrack Group’s financial performance by building on the information presented in the

statement of comprehensive income.

3.1 OPERATING SEGMENTS

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses,

whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to make decisions about resources to be

allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Operating segments are

aggregated for disclosure purposes where they have similar products and services, production processes, customers, distribution methods

and regulatory environments.

Gentrack Group currently operates in two business segments, utility billing software and airport management software, as at

30 September 2019. These segments have been determined based on the reports reviewed by the Board (Chief Operating

Decision Maker) to make strategic decisions.

The assets and liabilities of Gentrack Group are reported to and reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in total and are not

allocated by business segment. Therefore, operating segment assets and liabilities are not disclosed.

In 2019 and 2018, no single customer including their subsidiaries accounted for 10% or more of Gentrack Group’s revenue.

3.2 OPERATING REVENUE

Gentrack Group recognises revenue from customers when the performance obligation has been accomplished. A performance

obligation is accomplished when the customer has received all of the benefits promised under the performance obligation. The

following sections detail the type of revenue recognised within each category. Effective from 1 October 2018 Gentrack Group

adopted NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, this did not result in significant changes in accounting policies related to

revenue recognition. Refer to note 2. 5 for details on the method and timing of revenue recognition.

Revenue recognition involves certain revenue streams being recognised based on the stage of completion. This process uses

estimations of time required to complete the project and is based on detailed information on hours worked to date, prior

experience and project scheduling tools. Gentrack Group employs project managers to provide regular information to

management on the progress of all projects. All estimates are reviewed by management prior to revenue recognition.

3.2 OPERATING REVENUE (CONTINUED)

ANNUAL FEES

Annual fees include software support and maintenance charged on software licenses, software subscriptions and managed

services. Revenue from annual fees is generally recognised over the period as the benefits are consumed by the customer.


SUPPORT SERVICES

Support services are post implementation value-add professional services related to ongoing upgrades, minor software revisions

and extended support. Support services revenue is recognised when the service is complete or on a stage of completion basis.


LICENSES

Revenue from license fees is recognised when the customer is able to benefit from the licensed software. License fees that are highly

interrelated with project services are recognised based on a stage of completion of the project.

PROJECT SERVICES

Revenue from project services is recognised based on the stage of completion of the project. This is typically in accordance with the

achievement of contract milestones and/or hours expended and forecast hours to complete the project.

OTHER

Other revenue is primarily revenue from hardware and the recharge of ad-hoc costs that are recharged to customers. Revenue from

hardware sales is recognised when the hardware has been delivered to the customer.

Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and

Gentrack Group will comply with all attached conditions. When a grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income

over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.

During 2019, Gentrack Group recognised a total of $1.0m (2018: $0.8m) of grants from Callaghan Innovation in New Zealand and

Research and Development Expenditure Credits (RDEC) from the UK Government. T hese government grants provide a percentage return

for eligible Research and Development conducted by Gentrack Group. At balance date, the Callaghan grant has a 10% retention o f $0.1m

which is yet to be paid and is subject to an independent auditor review. The RDEC grant is a tax incentive and at balance date $0.2m was

outstanding, the benefit will be applied to Gentrack Group’s tax payable when the income tax return for 30 September 2019 is filed.

4.2 BANK FACILITIES AND BORROWINGS

Gentrack Group currently maintains a revolving five year credit facility and a working capital facility with ASB on the terms outlined below.

The revolving credit facility aggregated is NZD$42.5 million, and the working capital facility is NZD$8 million, totalling NZD$50.5 million. The

purpose of the revolving credit facility is to part fund acquisitions and other capital projects. The purpose of the working capital facility is to

assist with funding the working capital requirements of Gentrack Group. At 30 September 2019 Gentrack Group had drawn down $4.0m of

the working capital facility (2018: $Nil).

Interest is payable at a rate calculated as a base rate plus a pre-determined margin. During the year, the average rates for the NZD

denominated borrowings were 2.34%. There are covenants in place relating to gearing and interest cover and Gentrack Group was in

compliance with them during the year. The maturity date for each drawdown is the end of the next interest reset date. Gentrack Group has

the right to roll over the drawdowns up to the maturity of the facility on 28 March 2022.

Gentrack Group has provided a General Security Deed over all the present and after acquired property of all entities in Gentrack Group.

Related party borrowings include a loan from Shireburn Company Limited, the minority shareholder of CA Plus and amounts to $0.5m

(2018: Nil). This loan expires 30 November 2023 and has an average interest rate of 2.56%. The loan is in place to contribute towards the

working capital requirements of CA Plus.

5.ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

This section outlines further details of Gentrack Group’s financial performance by building on information presented in the

statement of financial position

.

5.1 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Gentrack Group recognises trade and other receivables initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using

the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. An impairment provision for trade receivables consists of the

expected credit loss in accordance with NZ IFRS 9 (refer to note 2.5) and a specific provision. A specific provision is established

when there is objective evidence that Gentrack Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the

receivables. The carrying amount of an asset is reduced through the use of provision accounts, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the

statement of comprehensive income. When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the specific impairment provision account.

Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the statement of comprehensive income.

Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.

Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (CGU) and is

not amortised but is tested annually for impairment

During the year due to the further alignment of t he Gentrack Velocity and Junifer CGU’s a single combined CGU named Utilities was

formed. With the increased alignment it is now no longer possible to meaningfully separate the cashflows and therefore they are now

reported as a single CGU.

5.3 IMPAIRMENT TESTING

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER ASSETS

At each reporting date, Gentrack Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an

indicator of impairment exists, Gentrack Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. Where the carrying value

of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell or the asset’s value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment,

assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets

other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects

the current market assessments and the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Value in use is determined by discounting

the future cash flows generated by each CGU. Cash flows were projected based on five-year business plans. The Weighted Average Cost of

Capital (WACC) is based on CAPM methodology using market specific inputs. The WACC for each CGU is reviewed annually. The key

assumptions are detailed in the table below.


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS / 27

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019

5.3 IMPAIRMENT TESTING (CONTINUED)

Gentrack Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated

above. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value in use calculations. These

calculations require the use of assumptions, the details of these assumptions and the potential impact of changes to the assumptions

are presented below.

The terminal revenue growth rate for all CGU’s is calculated based on the 2024 year and assumes a continuous growth of a minimum of

projected inflation estimates of 1.25% (2018: 2.5%). These values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessments of

future trends and are based on both external and internal sources.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING RESULTS – EXCLUDING CA PLUS

The calculations confirmed there was no impairment of goodwill during the year apart from CA Plus. Management believes that any

reasonable possible change in the key assumptions for all CGU’s, excluding CA Plus would not cause the carrying amount to exceed the

recoverable amount.

Changes in key assumptions were considered as sensitivities. These are summarised in the table below.

CA PLUS – FULL IMPAIRMENT

Gentrack Group acquired 75% of CA Plus in May 2017 with an option to acquire the remaining 25% exercisable in May 2020 based on a

three year earn-out target to 31 December 2019. CA Plus was acquired as an early stage business with the expectation that it would rapidly

develop.

CA Plus offers solutions to airports to process non-aeronautical revenues derived from retail and concessionaire management activities.

The CA Plus solution collects sales data from tenants to calculate and charge concession fees and to provide detailed analytics supporting

planning and decision making.

At 30 September 2018 the value of the liability for the option related deferred consideration was revalued to 1.00 Euro resulting in a gain

of $3.8m and at the same time an impairment to goodwill of $3.9m was recognised. It was noted at that time that the carrying value after

the impairment would remain sensitive to future growth and performance of the CA Plus business.

During the year ended 30 September 2019, CA Plus has not delivered expected sales growth and a strategic review of the business has

been undertaken during the period. The conclusion is that while there is identifiable market demand for its solutions in the global airports

sector, the approach to market needed to be significantly changed to realise the opportunity. Plans are being prepared to fully integrate CA

Plus into the Airports 20/20 business and to deliver the solution as a component of the Airports 20/20 product set which will leverage the

intellectual property, the resources and reshape the sales approach.

In view of the uncertainties around the future shape and performance of the business and associated financial outcomes, management

considers a full impairment of the $14.6m carrying value of these acquired assets is appropriate. The $14.6m impairment includes $10.4m

in goodwill and $4.2m of intangible assets.

Details of the impairment related amounts are included in notes 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 respectively.

5.3 IMPAIRMENT TESTING (CONTINUED)

IMPAIRMENT TESTING – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Subsequent to balance date, Gentrack Group undertook an internal review of its FY2020 revenue projections due to increased political

uncertainty in the UK following Brexit developments and the announcement of a UK general election. This internal review resulted in

earnings guidance for FY2020 announced on 22 November 2019, where Gentrack Group expects that FY2020 earnings would be broadly

flat. Gentrack Group considers this to be a non-adjusting subsequent event, however, has assessed the impact on impairment testing. The

decreased revenue expectations are not projected to result in the impairment of Gentrack Group’s goodwill and other intangible assets,

however, it is noted that the assets of the Evolve Analytics CGU will become sensitive to impairment and a further deterioration in

underlying cash flow assumptions could result in impairment.

5.4 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

CAPITALISED DEVELOPMENT

Costs that are directly associated with the development of software are recognised as intangible assets where the following

criteria are met:

• it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;

• management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it;

• there is an ability to use or sell the software product;

• it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits;

• adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available; and

• the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.

Software development costs that meet the above criteria are capitalised. Other development expenditure that does not meet the above criteria is

recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as assets in a subsequent

period. Software development costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives.

BRANDS

Brands are considered to have an indefinite useful life and are held at cost and are not amortised but are subject to an annual impairment test

consistent with the methodology outlined for goodwill above.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Other intangible assets consist of internal use software, acquired source code, trade-marks and customer relationships. They have finite useful

lives and are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

AMORTISATION

Except for goodwill and brands, intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis in the statement of comprehensive income over their

estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

• Acquired source code 10 years

• Customer relationships 10 years

• Trademarks 4 years

• Capitalised development 5 years

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.

5.5 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

In the statement of financial position property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost

includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the difference between their original costs and their residual

values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

• Office equipment, fixtures and fittings 7 years

• Computer equipment 3 to 7 years

• Leasehold improvements Term of lease

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each balance date.

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.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts and are recognised in the statement of

comprehensive income.

5.8 Financial liabilities

The potential cash payments related to put options issued by Gentrack Group for the equity of acquired companies is accounted

for as a financial liability. The amount that may become payable under the option on exercise is initially recognised at fair value.

Options are subsequently reassessed to fair value, using the effective interest rate method, and any change arising is reflected

as an adjustment to the financial liability and a corresponding entry is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Annual Report.

In Gentrack Group’s transition to NZ IFRS 9 there has been no change in the classification or accounting treatment of the vendor put option

for Blip Systems.

5.9 Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using a weighted average method and

includes expenditure incurred to purchase the inventory and transport it to its current location. Net realisable value is the estimated

selling price of the inventory in the ordinary course of business less costs necessary to make the sale. The cost of inventories

consumed during the year are recognised as an expense and included in expenditure in the statement of comprehensive income.

5.10 Provisions

Gentrack Group recognises a provision when it has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is

probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the

class of obligations as a whole.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that

reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the

passage of time is recognised as a finance expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

6.CAPITAL STRUCTURE

This section outlines Gentrack Group’s capital structure and details of share-based employee incentives which have an

impact on Gentrack Group’s equity.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are

recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Where any Gentrack Group company purchases the Company’s equity

share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the

shares are cancelled or transferred outside Gentrack Group.

Ordinary sha

res are fully paid and have no par value. The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time

and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company and rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets.

6.1 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The capital structure of Gentrack Group consists of equity raised by the issue of ordinary shares in the parent company.

Gentrack Group manages its capital to ensure that companies in the Group are able to continue as going concerns. Gentrack Group is not

subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

6.2 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Gentrack Group operates equity settled, share-based payments schemes under which it receives services from employees, as

consideration for equity instruments of Gentrack Group. A valuation has been completed for each scheme at the grant date to

estimate the fair value of the performance rights allocated. Management also make estimates about the number of performance

rights that are expected to vest which determines the expense recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.

EQUITY SETTLED LONG TERM INCENTIVE SCHEME – EARNINGS PER SHARE CUMULATIVE AVERAGE GROWTH

RATE (EPS CAGR)

During the year the Gentrack Group Board approved the fourth annual issue of an equity settled long term incentive scheme first

implemented in 2016 for selected key personnel. The scheme is intended to reward these key personnel to focus on the long-term

performance measure. The number of performance rights are allocated based on a percentage of salary or other such percentage and are

calculated with reference to the 10-trading day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of shares traded on the NZX immediately following

the announcement of the annual financial results for the prior year.

The fair value of the performance rights is determined at the grant date using the Black Scholes valuation method. The fair value

of the performance rights is recorded as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income over the vesting period, based on

Gentrack Group’s estimate of the number of performance rights that will vest, with a corresponding entry to the share-based

payment reserve within equity. During the year ended 30 September 2019, $0.1m has been recognised in the statement of comprehensive

income for that period (2018: $0.3m).

The number of performance rights that will vest and be exercisable after three years depends on achievement of the performance hurdle.

The performance hurdle is that 50% of the Performance Rights will vest if EPS CAGR of Gentrack Group over the three financial years is 7%,

with the number of performance rights that vest increasin g on a linear basis to 100% if EPS CAGR of 12% is achieved.

6.4 EARNINGS PER SHARE

Gentrack Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by

dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on

issue during the year, excluding shares purchased and held as treasury shares.

Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares

on issue for the effects of the dilutive impact of potential ordinary shares, which comprise performance share rights granted to employees.

Potential ordinary shares are treated as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease EPS or increase the

profit per share.

7.2 DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and

their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting 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 is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liabilities

where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by Gentrack 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 tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax levied by the same taxation authority on either the

same taxable entity or different entities where there is an intention to settle the balance on a net basis.

Additional income tax expenses that arise from the distribution of cash dividends are recognised at the same time that the liability to pay

the related dividend is recognised. Gentrack Group does not distribute non-cash assets as dividends to its shareholders.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related benefits

will be realised.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which

temporary differences can be utilised. Management applies judgement when reviewing current business plans and forecasts to

ascertain the likelihood of future taxable profits.

The movement in temporary differences has been recognised in the s tatement of c omprehensive income. Deferred tax has been recognised at a

rate at which they are expected to be realised: 28% for New Zealand entities, 30% for Australian entities, 17% for UK entities, 22% for Denmark

entities and 35% for Malta entities.

8.FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Gentrack Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks which include foreign currency risk, commodity price risk and

interest risk. This section details of each of these risks financial and how they are managed by Gentrack Group.

The B

oard of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Gentrack Group’s risk management

framework. Gentrack Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the financial risks faced by

Gentrack Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management

policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and Gentrack Group’s activities.

8.1 CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to Gentrack Group if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual

obligations, and it arises principally from Gentrack Group’s trade receivables from customers in the normal course of business.

Gentrack Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The credit worthiness of a

customer or counter party is determined by a number of qualitative and quantitative factors. Qualitative factors include external credit ratings

(where available), payment history and strategic importance of customer or counter party. Quantitative factors include transaction size, net

assets of customer or counter party, and ratio analysis on liquidity, cash flow and profitability.

In relation to trade receivables, it is Gentrack Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on terms are subject to credit

verification on an ongoing basis with the intention of minimising bad debts. The nature of Gentrack Group’s trade receivables is

represented by regular turnover of product and billing of customers based on the contractual payment terms.

Gentrack G

roup has an impairment provision that represents its estimate of future incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables.

The impairment provision consists of the expected credit loss provision in accordance with NZ IFRS 9 and a specific doubtful debt provision

used where there is objective evidence that indicates a trade receivable is impaired.

The carrying amount of Gentrack Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure as summarised in the table below:

Past due over 180 days 2,570 (1,585) 1,327 (504)

22,254 (2,868) 17,583 (504)

Gentrack Group’s trade receivables are not exposed to any significant credit exposure to any single counterparty or group of counterparties

having similar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of a number of customers in various geographical areas. Based on historic

information about customer default rates, management considers the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired

to be good.

As at 30 September 2019 there are no significant concentrations of credit risk for financial assets designated as at amortised cost or at fair

value. The carrying amount reflects Gentrack Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for these financial assets.

Judgement has been applied to the recovery of all trade receivables, with management confirming that all carrying amounts are deemed to

be recoverable and not impaired.

The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible, since the counterparties are highly reputable financial intuitions with

high quality external credit ratings.

8.2 MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect Gentrack Group’s income or the

value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within

acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

Gentrack Group is exposed to currency risk on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies

of Group entities, primarily the Australian Dollar (AUD), Pound Sterling (GBP), EURO (EUR) and US Dollar (USD), and Danish Kroner ( DKK).

8.3 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that Gentrack Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and when they become due and payable. Gentrack

Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they

become due and payable, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to Gentrack Group’s

reputation.

Gentrack Group has sufficient cash to meet its requirements in the foreseeable future.

8.5 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Gentrack Group’s financial assets are measured at amortised cost. Gentrack Group’s financial assets are held within a business

model whose objective is to hold the financial asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the financial asset gives rise

to contractual cash flows on specified dates that are payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding.

Gentrack Group’s financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost except for contingent consideration which is required to be measured

at fair value through profit and loss.

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash at bank and on hand and the carrying amount is equivalent to fair value.

TRADE RECEIVABLES

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

TRADE PAYABLES

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

current market interest rate for a similar product; the carrying value approximates their fair value.

FAIR VALUES

Gentrack Group’s financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair values are grouped into levels based on

the degree to which their 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 Gentrack Group’s

financial instruments during the period. As at 30 September 2019 Gentrack Group has $2.5m of level 3 financial instruments relating to a

call/put option for the acquisition of Blip Systems, this financial instrument is contingent consideration and is required to be measured at

fair value with changes recognised in the statement of comprehensive income (2018: $2.8m). Please Refer to note 33 of the 2018 Annual

Report for further information on the Blip Systems acquisition.
