HALLENSTEIN GLASSON HOLDINGS LIMITED


UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR 6 MONTHS ENDED 1 FEBRUARY 2020


The Company advises that Group sales for the six months to 1 February 2020 were $160.27 million,

an increase of 5.7% over the corresponding period last year ($151.66 million). Net profit after tax

was $15.44 million, a decrease of 3.8% over the corresponding period last year ($16.04 million). The

result is in line with the guidance announced to the NZX on 17 February 2019. The Group profit after

tax is impacted by the new IFRS 16 leasing standard by approximately $0.515 million.


Gross margin on sales was 58.3% compared with 59.8% in the prior corresponding period. This was

mainly the result of the exchange rate against the US dollar in both New Zealand and Australia as

well as higher promotional activity due to the competitive market place particularly during

November and December. The cost of doing business fell marginally over the six-month period,

continuing to be well controlled into the current trading period.


Segment Results


Glassons


Sales in Australia were $53.91 million for the six month period, which were up 10.9% against the

prior corresponding period. During the season a new store was opened in Robina on the Gold Coast

and the Eastgardens store, Sydney was increased in size and refurbished to the new format. The

new Fulfillment Centre was opened in Botany, Sydney during February which will support the stores

and growing digital business in Australia.


Sales in New Zealand were $54.00 million, which was up 5.3% against the same period last year.

During the season the outlet store in Hornby, Christchurch was refurbished and in October the new

Fulfillment Centre was opened for operations. The old Glassons Distribution Centre was sold at the

end of the season with a gain on sale of $0.9 million after costs. We remain pleased with the

continued progress and sophistication of the digital offer of the Glassons brand.



Hallenstein Brothers


Sales for were $52.35 million for the six month period (including Australia), with sales growing 1.1%

against the same period last year. Work continued throughout the season on the repositioning of

the Hallenstein Brothers brand and improving the product offer. During the period, the Hornby

Outlet store in Christchurch was refurbished.








E-Commerce


Investment in this area has seen digital sales increase to over 15% of total Group sales. As a business

we remain focused on continued investment in digital and social channels to deliver inspiring and

relevant content to our customers. Glassons New Zealand, Glassons Australia and Hallenstein

Brothers now all have larger fulfillment centers to allow for continued online growth.


Future Outlook - COVID-19


For the first 7 weeks of the new season sales were +3.8%. However due to the COVID-19 alert

system in New Zealand moving to Level 4 from midnight on 26 March 2020 all stores and the web-

based store in New Zealand are now closed. Also due to the impact of Covid-19 in Australia and the

adverse impact on sales, stores in Australia also closed at 5pm on 26 March 2020. The web store in

Australia will continue to trade as long as permitted. This has resulted in unprecedented level of

uncertainty and it is challenging to forecast the extent of these events on the business. The Group

has applied for the New Zealand government wage subsidy scheme in order to support employees

wages during this uncertain time.


The Group has activated its pandemic management programme, to ensure the safety of our

employees and to make the changes required to reshape the business during the evolving situation.

The Group has introduced a number of initiatives including reducing operating and labour costs,

managing inventory levels and putting capital projects on hold.


The Group will continue to follow advice and monitor the situation closely to ensure an agile

approach to reduce the adverse impact on trading and protect our team and customers.



Dividend


Due the uncertainty around the impact of Covid-19 and announcements made by the Prime Minister

last week on moving New Zealand to Alert level 4 and after careful consideration the Board feels it

would be prudent not to pay an interim dividend. This will be reassessed at the end of our financial

year, August 2020, when the Board will consider whether to pay a dividend at that time.

Right-of-use assets are initially recognised on commencement of lease at cost, comprising the initial

amount of the lease liabilities less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are

subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of

the lease term.


In considering the lease term, the Group has determined that right of renewal options will not be

exercised as the Group will renegotiate the terms of all leases at their expiry.

7 Leases (continued)

Both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are discounted applying interest rate implicit in the lease.

If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that

the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a

similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.


In the process of adopting NZ IFRS 16, a number of judgements and estimates have been made.

These include:

• incremental borrowing rate at the time of adoption;

• lease terms, including any rights of renewal expected to be exercised. The Group has

determined that right of renewal options will not be exercised as the Group will renegotiate the

terms of all leases at their expiry;

• foreign exchange conversion rates;

• application of practical expedients and recognition exemptions allowed by the new standards,

including in respect of low value assets and short-term lease exemptions.


The following tables show the movements and analysis in relation to the right-of-use assets and lease

liabilities, created on the adoption of NZ IFRS 16.

8 Accounting standards

Except as described below, the accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual

financial statements for the period ended 1 August 2019, as described in those annual financial

statements.


There was one new standard applied during the period which had a material impact.


• NZ IFRS 16: Leases (effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

This standard replaces the current guidance in NZ IAS 17.


Transition

For the reporting period commencing 2 August 2019 the Group has elected to apply the modified

retrospective transition method. Under this method the Group has not restated comparatives therefore

reclassifications and adjustments are recognised in the opening balance sheet on 2 August 2019.


Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of remaining lease payments. The weighted

average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 2 August 2019 was 3.01%.


Leases entered into and identified by the Group are all property leases. The associated right-of-use

assets for property leases were measured on a consistent basis with the lease liabilities, but have

been adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments and lease incentives.


On transition, the Group applied the following practical expedients:

• Non-capitalisation of leases that expire within twelve months from adoption date. Costs

relating to these leases have been recognised in the income statement within selling,

distribution, and administration expenses.


The Group has not recognised any right-of-use assets or liabilities for leases that it was committed to

but were not yet available for use by the Group at the date of transition.


In addition to the opening balance sheet lease liabilities and right-of-use assets impact on transition

disclosed below, the Group has recognised $790,000 of deferred tax assets as a result of the

accounting standard adoption.

8 Accounting standards (continued)


For comparative period analysis purposes, the adoption of the accounting standard has affected the

following items of the income statement and statement of cash flows:


• In the income statement ‘finance expense’ includes interest expense associated with lease

liabilities, and ‘selling expenses’ and ‘administration expenses’ includes depreciation

associated with right-of-use assets.

• In the statement of cash flows lease payments are now split between principal repayments

classified within ‘financing activities’ and interest repayments classified within ‘operating

activities’. Previously lease payments were included within ‘payments to suppliers’ within

operating activities.

income statement and the consolidated balance sheet.

NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers


Adoption of NZ IFRS 15 has given rise to the reclassification of delivery fees charged to customers.

Delivery fees charged to customers are considered to be part of the same performance obligation as

the sale of the goods, as control of the goods only passes to customers when they physically receive

the goods. Previously, the delivery fees charged to customers by the Group have been offset against

the delivery costs incurred by the Group, and the net cost has been shown under selling expenses.

Under NZ IFRS 15, it has been determined that control of the goods does not pass to the customer

until delivery, because the customer cannot use or otherwise benefit from the goods until obtaining

possession of the goods, which occurs on delivery.


The Group’s income statement for the comparative period shown in these consolidated financial

statements has been restated to reflect the reclassification outlined above. A reconciliation showing

the adjustments made to the income statement to restate the prior period comparatives is shown

9 Events subsequent to balance date

On the 26

th

March 2020 the Group announced that due to the COVID-19 alert system in New Zealand

moving to Level 4 from midnight on 26 March 2020, all stores and the web-based store in New

Zealand are now closed. Also due to the impact of COVID-19 in Australia and the adverse impact on

sales, stores in Australia closed at 5pm on 26 March 2020. The web store in Australia will continue to

trade as long as permitted.


The Group has activated its pandemic management programme, to ensure the safety of our

employees and to make the changes required to reshape the business during the evolving situation.


The Group has introduced a number of initiatives including reducing operating and labour costs,

managing inventory levels and putting capital projects on hold. The Group has applied for the New

Zealand government wage subsidy scheme in order to support employees wages during this

uncertain time.


The Group will continue to follow advice and monitor the situation closely to ensure an agile approach

to reduce any adverse impact on trading and to protect our team and customers.


Dividend

Due the uncertainty around the impact of Covid-19 and announcements made by the Prime Minister

last week on moving New Zealand to Alert level 4 and after careful consideration the Board feels it

would be prudent not to pay an interim dividend. This will be reassessed at the end of our financial

year, August 2020, when the Board will consider whether to pay a dividend at that time.
