it is with great pleasure that I present to you yet another record

year for Delegat Group Limited on our journey to build a

leading global Super Premium wine company. I am pleased to

present its operating and financial results for the year ended

30 June 2020, which has been an outstanding year for the

Group.

Against a backdrop of uncertainty caused by COVID-19,

the strength of our category-leading Super Premium brands,

in-market sales teams, distribution networks and strong

consumer demand has provided the necessary resilience in these

challenging times and a solid foundation which positions us

well for future sales growth.

In delivering a record performance this year, Delegat is now

the number one New Zealand wine exporter to the world, yet

another milestone achieved on our journey to become one of the

world’s leading Super Premium wine companies.

Profit includes the fair value adjustment in respect of grapes when packaged wine is sold, rather than on harvest of the
grapes, and the fair value adjustment on derivative instruments when these foreign exchange contracts and interest rate

swaps are realised.

The Group has included a reconciliation of Operating Profit to Reported Profit which eliminates from each line in the

Statement of Financial Performance all fair value adjustments.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

A record Operating NPAT of $60.8 million was generated compared to $50.8 million

*

in the previous 12 months.

Operating EBIT of $95.2 million is $11.9 million higher than last year. Operating Expenses (before NZ IFRS adjustments)

at $56.1 million are $1.0 million higher than last year.

Delegat achieved Operating Revenue of $302.9 million on global case sales of 3,277,000 in the year. Revenue is up $24.9

million on last year, due to a 9% increase in global case sales and the favourable impact of foreign exchange rate changes.

The Group’s case sales performance and foreign currency rates achieved are detailed in table 2.

NZ IFRS FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS

In accordance with NZ IFRS, the Group is required to account for certain assets at ‘fair value’ rather than at historic cost.

All movements in these fair values are reflected in and impact the Statement of Financial Performance. The Group records

adjustments in respect of three significant items at the year-end as described below and detailed in table 3.

Notes:

1. Operating Revenue is before fair value movements on derivative instruments (if gains).

2. Operating Gross Profit is before the net fair value movements on biological produce (harvest adjustment) and the NZ IFRS adjustments excluded in Note 1.

3. Operating Expenses are before fair value movements on derivative instruments (if losses).

4. Operating EBIT, EBITDA and NPAT are before any fair value adjustments.

1. Operating Performance is a non-GAAP measure and as such does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP. It may therefore not be comparable to non-GAAP

measures presented by other entities. The Executive Chairman and Managing Director’s reports are read by the auditors as part of their responsibilities in respect of other

information as disclosed in their audit report.

financial statements.

DELEGAT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT6

• Harvest Provision Release (Grapes) – Inventory is valued at market value, rather than costs incurred, at harvest.
Any fair value adjustment is excluded from Operating Performance for the year, by creating a Harvest Provision.

This provision is then released through Cost of Sales when inventory is sold in subsequent years. This represents the

reversal of prior periods’ fair value adjustments in respect of biological produce as finished wine is sold in subsequent

years. In 2020, the market value of the Company grapes exceeded the costs incurred by $16.3 million (2019: $14.0

million). This write-up is higher than last year due to a higher-yielding 2020 vintage. This write-up, less the impact

of prior years’ vintages being sold, has resulted in a net write-down of $0.7 million for the year (2019: write-down of

$4.2 million).

• Derivative Instruments are held to hedge the Group’s foreign currency and interest rate exposure. The mark-to-market

movement of these instruments at balance date resulted in a fair value write-up of $1.3 million (2019: write-down of

$1.5 million).

• The tax effect of reinstatement of depreciation in relation to the reintroduction of depreciation deductions on buildings

has resulted in a tax write-up of $2.9 million (2019: $nil).

The above adjustments, net of taxation, amount to a write-up of $3.3 million for the year (2019: write-down of $4.0

million).

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTING TO OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Accounting for all fair value adjustments under NZ IFRS, the Group’s reported audited financial performance for the year

ended 30 June 2020 is reconciled to Operating Profit as detailed in table 4.

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT DELEGAT ANNUAL REPORT 20207

CASH FLOW
The Group generated record Cash Flows from Operations of $84.3 million in the current year, which is an increase of

$24.7 million or 42% on the previous year. This increase is due to strong cash collections from customers and lower net

interest paid. A total of $29.0 million was paid for additional property, plant and equipment during the year, this includes

vineyard developments in New Zealand, and development of the Hawke’s Bay and Marlborough wineries, which will

provide earnings growth into the years ahead. The Group distributed $17.2 million to Shareholders in dividends. A net

repayment of $23.5 million was made to reduce borrowings during the year.

Having secured a $330.0 million syndicated Senior Debt facility in 2019 the Group is well positioned to fund its current

operations as well as future capital investment in both New Zealand and Australia. The Group’s net debt at 30 June

2020 amounted to $239.5 million, a decrease of 11% compared to last year and well within the Group’s long-term bank

debt facilities.

DIVIDENDS

The Directors consider that the underlying operational performance and continued strong cash flows justify maintaining

the dividend in line with last year. Accordingly, the Directors are pleased to advise they have approved a fully imputed

dividend payout of 17.0 cents per share. The dividend will be paid on 9 October 2020 to Shareholders on record at

25 September 2020.

Notes:

1. Biological Produce (Grapes) is the difference between market value paid for grapes and the cost to grow grapes.


The Harvest Provision is reversed and only recognised when the finished wine is sold.

INVESTING FOR GROWTH

The record results achieved in 2020 are testament to the strength of the Group’s business model as it continues to invest

for growth.

Delegat is investing to support our strategic goal of building a leading global Super Premium wine company. During

the year under review, $28.7 million was invested in growth assets including development of the Group’s wineries, land

acquisition and vineyard development in New Zealand and the Barossa Valley, Australia.

Delegat plans to invest an additional $52.2 million in 2021 to provide earnings growth in the years ahead. This capital

investment supports the Group’s plan to grow sales to 3,840,000 cases by 2023 and will provide for further growth

beyond that period.

OUR GREAT WINE PEOPLE

The Board would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge our Delegat Great Wine People around the world. Our

global team has once again shown great resolve and resilience while facing unique challenges. Our team came together

and by living our values set new performance records on our journey to build a leading global Super Premium wine

company. It is inspiring to work with such a talented team who are committed to winning together.

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT DELEGAT ANNUAL REPORT 202011

The 2020 financial year represented a great demonstration of
the Group’s ability to navigate new challenges and continue our

journey towards building a leading global Super Premium wine

company. As outlined in the Executive Chairman’s Report, the

Group achieved record global case sales growth, Operating Net

Profit, and net cash flows from operations.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The Group performed very well through the global disruptions

caused by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early

2020. The resilience and commitment demonstrated by the

Group’s global team during this challenging period has been

nothing short of inspirational.

The Group is classified as an Essential Business by the New

Zealand and Australian governments, allowing viticulture

and winemaking teams to complete harvest operations and

winemaking processes for the 2020 vintage, albeit with

additional safety precautions and procedures in place.

While field sales activities were limited in many global markets

by social-distancing requirements and new trading conditions,

the Group’s in-market sales teams sustained regular and

frequent communication with key customers and distributor

partners. The Group’s ongoing investment in workplace

productivity technology enabled our teams to quickly adapt

and maintain all critical functions throughout government-

imposed lockdowns. As of 30 June 2020 the Group had no

reported cases of COVID-19 among staff.

Reduced sales in the hospitality channel from March onwards

were offset by increased sales in retail and particularly in

e-commerce channels as consumers adjusted their shopping

habits in response to lockdown restrictions. The Group observes

that during times of uncertainty consumers increasingly choose

to purchase brands that they know and trust. As a leading

Super Premium wine brand, Oyster Bay holds a position of

high awareness and affinity among premium wine consumers.

Accordingly, the Group achieved strong sales performance

through the final quarter of the financial year.

GLOBAL SALES PERFORMANCE
The Group achieved global case sales growth of 9% over the previous year to reach 3,277,000 cases. Sales continue to be

well diversified by market, with 44% in North America, 34% in United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe, and 22% in the

Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific region.

The Group’s market-driven wine business model has delivered long-term sales growth of the Group’s brands. The Group

has invested in its brands and distribution channels and has established in-market sales offices to support substantial

future sales growth. This unique infrastructure of in-market sales offices has delivered high-quality distribution, enduring

business relationships, market knowledge and focus.

NORTH AMERICA

The Group again delivered strong growth in North America, increasing sales volumes by 8% to a record 1,438,000 cases.

The United States remains one of the world’s most attractive wine markets, demonstrating sustained category growth and

strong demand for imported wines, this makes it a major growth market opportunity for the Group.

The Oyster Bay brand continued its strong growth, gaining distribution and rate of sale across the country. Oyster Bay

Sauvignon Blanc is a top 5 white wine over US$10 by value.

1

The Group has in recent years invested in its brands and distribution channels. The Group is well positioned to continue

building momentum through its strong relationships with its distributor partners, a key factor in driving success of

Oyster Bay and Barossa Valley Estate.

With premiumisation continuing to drive growth for the wine category, Canadian wine consumers are demanding

higher-quality wines for which they are willing to pay a premium price (C$12+). Oyster Bay has delivered consistent

strong performance, while maintaining category-leading ranking positions.

UNITED KINGDOM, IRELAND AND EUROPE

The United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe region again performed extremely well, growing sales by 23% to 1,101,000

cases.

The United Kingdom is a highly competitive market. Oyster Bay has outperformed the wine category and contributed

significantly to growing consumer demand for New Zealand wines. Through increased exposure and higher rate of sale,

Oyster Bay has further strengthened its position as a leading Super Premium wine brand.

Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Merlot continue to be the top-selling wines above £8 in their individual

varietal categories irrespective of origin.

2

Barossa Valley Estate Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre delivered strong sales growth

during the year, supporting further growth in brand awareness and affinity.

In Ireland, Oyster Bay maintained its Super Premium category leadership position. Highlights included significant

growth for Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir during the year. Oyster Bay Chardonnay, Merlot

and Pinot Noir remain the top-selling New Zealand wines in their respective varietal categories above €9.

AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND ASIA PACIFIC
In the established New Zealand and Australia markets, Oyster Bay continued to perform strongly as a category-leading

Super Premium wine brand. The Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific region achieved sales of 738,000 cases, 5%

lower than in the previous year, as the Group focused on optimising long-term value growth in preference to short-term

volume growth.

In Australia, Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc continues to lead the category as the top-selling Sauvignon Blanc and bottled

white wine by value, and Oyster Bay Chardonnay remains the top-selling premium Chardonnay.

4


During the year, the Group again experienced very strong growth in China. While China is currently a relatively small

emerging market for the Group, it continues to represent an important long-term growth opportunity.

BRANDS AND COMMUNICATIONS

The Group’s goal is to establish Oyster Bay and Barossa Valley Estate as leading brands in the Super Premium wine

category globally.

Based on wine consumption patterns, the Group classifies markets as Established, Growth or Emerging. Understanding

the level of maturity of our markets is essential for setting business strategy. Marketing activities are then tailored to the

specific needs of each market and phases of brand development. Marketing programmes are designed to grow consumer

awareness and affinity, supporting distribution and rate of sales growth for its brands.

The Group works closely with its retail partners to develop highly effective in-store activations that support rate of sales

and nurture long-term brand affinity. In the consumer environment, the Group uses a mix of media channels, both

online and offline to attract and engage the premium wine consumer.

In recognition of its market performance and reputation, Oyster Bay continues to be recognised as a Blue Chip Brand

by New York’s I M PACT Magazine, a status reserved only for brands of substantial size and sustained growth over many

years. Oyster Bay was also recognised by I M PACT Magazine as a ‘Hot Brand’ for the tenth consecutive year.

INVESTING IN OUR PEOPLE

We are extremely proud of our Delegat Great Wine People who make up our global team. Our people are the key to

realising the Group’s goals and we have thorough processes for recruiting talented and capable people.

This year we invested in a new Human Resources Information System (HRIS). As this new system is fully implemented

it will provide our managers and teams with greater visibility and control over all of our people-related processes, from

recruitment through to performance management and Learning and Development planning. We strongly believe in a

learning culture, one where both formal and informal learning play important roles in helping us to be more skilled,

resilient and productive. This enables us to create an aspirational environment for success where our people can achieve

or exceed their own career aspirations.

This year we have continued to progress our Diversity and Inclusion planning which is a positive contributor to the

wellness of our people and to the Group’s long-term performance. We feel that we benefit greatly from the different

backgrounds and perspectives our people bring to their work.

2020 HARVEST
The 2020 harvest delivered exceptional quality fruit across all three of our wine regions.

The Group harvest of 38,129 tonnes was up 7% from the 2019 vintage.

The Group has appropriate inventories to achieve the 2021 forecast case sales as outlined in this report.

SUSTAINABILITY

Recognition and respect for the environment are reflected in the strong leadership role the Group plays in the practice

and promotion of sustainable winegrowing and wine production. As a leader in the New Zealand wine industry and as a

founding member since 2002 of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ), the Group takes its responsibilities to

respect and protect the environment very seriously. The Group’s New Zealand vineyards and wineries are 100% accredited

by the independently audited SWNZ Sustainability Programme. The Group applies many of these same principles in the

Barossa Valley, again as a leader of sustainable winegrowing practices within the Australian wine industry.

GROUP OUTLOOK

The global economic outlook is uncertain, but the 2020 year demonstrated that the Group is well positioned to navigate

and succeed in uncertain economic times. The Group continues to see opportunities worldwide to further expand

distribution and grow rate of sale per point of distribution, supporting the achievement of sustainable sales and earnings

growth in the years ahead.

Delegat plans to grow sales by 17% to 3,840,000 cases over the next three years. The primary drivers of planned growth

are Oyster Bay sales in North America, and Barossa Valley Estate sales globally.

With respect to the 2021 year, Delegat plans to grow sales by 2% to 3,346,000 cases and forecasts Operating Profit to

be in the range of $60 to $65 million.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202036

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION

REPORTING ENTITY

The financial statements presented are those of Delegat Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group). Delegat Group

Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand and registered under the Companies

Act 1993. The Parent shares are publicly traded on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.

The financial statements comprise the statement of financial performance, statement of other comprehensive income,

statement of changes in equity, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows, as well as the notes to the

financial statements. The financial statements for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020 were authorised for issue

in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 28 August 2020.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New

Zealand (NZ GAAP) and the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. For the purposes of complying

with NZ GAAP, the entity is a for-profit entity. These financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars,

rounded to the nearest thousand. They are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments

and biological produce which have been measured at fair value.

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

affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and

associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable

under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are

reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are

revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both

current and future periods.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and other

applicable Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS), as applicable to the Group as a profit-oriented entity. The financial

statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June

2019.

Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Group has control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has

rights, to variable returns from its investment in the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power

over the entity. Specifically, the Group controls an entity, if and only if, the Group has:

– Power over the entity (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

– Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity; and

– The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent, using consistent

accounting policies. The effects of intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial

statements.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated

from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the

acquisition method of accounting as noted on the following pages.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

37

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity

instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities

incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Where equity instruments are issued in a business combination, the fair

value of the instruments is their published market price at the date of the exchange, unless, in rare circumstances, it can

be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs

arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly within equity.

Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which are measured at fair value less costs

to sell), all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are

measured initially at their fair values as at acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The

excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets

acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the net fair value of the

identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the statement of financial performance,

but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of the consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to the

present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate

at which similar borrowings could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)

The statement of financial performance, statement of other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and

statement of cash flows have been prepared so that all components are stated net of GST. All items in the statement of

financial position are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables and payables, which include GST invoiced.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

a) Functional and Presentation Currency

The presentation currency of the Group is the New Zealand Dollar. Each subsidiary company in the Group determines its

own functional currency and uses that functional currency for its individual financial statements. Subsidiary companies

with a different functional currency than that of the Group are translated through converting all reported assets and

liabilities at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet, while income and expenses are translated at exchange rates

at the dates of the transactions. Any resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

b) Transactions and Balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates

ruling at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of

exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand, and short-term

deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and

which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash

and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank

overdrafts are included within interest-bearing loans and borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial

position.

Net debt is the sum of the Group’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Other accounting policies that are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the

notes to the financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

In applying the Group’s accounting policies, management continually evaluates the judgements, estimates and

assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact

upon the Group. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based upon the most

current set of circumstances available to management. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and

assumptions used. The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management in the preparation of

these financial statements are disclosed within the specific financial statement notes as shown below:

On 1 July 2019, the Group adopted NZ IFRS 16: Leases, applying the fully retrospective transition provision. NZ IFRS 16

is the new standard on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and supersedes NZ IAS 17:

Leases. NZ IFRS 16 requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model (subject to certain

exemptions) in a similar way to finance leases under NZ IAS 17. A liability has been recognised to pay rentals with a

corresponding right-of-use asset, with interest and depreciation recognised separately. The Group has adopted the low

value asset exemption in respect of its barrel leases, which continue to be expensed on a straight line basis over the

lease terms. Adoption of NZ IFRS 16 results in higher combined depreciation and interest expense than the previously

recognised operating expense in the early years of lease terms. The difference over the full life of each lease will be nil

and there is no impact on cash flows. In accordance with the requirements of NZ IAS 8: Accounting Policies, Changes

in Accounting Estimates and Errors, the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019 have been restated. The

effect on the Group’s financial statements of the adoption of NZ IFRS 16 has been demonstrated in the following tables.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise bank loans and overdrafts, lease liabilities, and trade payables and

accruals. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise funding for the Group’s ongoing operations. The

Group also has financial assets such as trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents, which arise directly

from its operations.

The Group is counterparty to derivative financial instruments, principally being foreign currency forward exchange

contracts and options, and interest rate swaps. The purpose of entering into foreign currency forward exchange contracts

and options is to manage currency risk primarily arising from foreign denominated trade receivables. Interest rate swaps

are entered into with the aim of mitigating interest rate risk to movements on floating rate debt facilities.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and

liquidity risk. Each of the main operational risks are reviewed by the Treasury Management Committee (TMC) and their

recommendations are provided to the Board of Directors. The composition of the TMC includes the Managing Director

(or Alternate), Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Financial Planning Manager and Independent Treasury Advisors. The

Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below. Board approval is required

for any movement outside policy.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

The net assets employed through subsidiary companies based overseas exposes the Group to foreign currency risk as

a result of changes in the GBP/NZD, AUD/NZD, USD/NZD, EUR/NZD, CAD/NZD, SGD/NZD, JPY/NZD, HKD/NZD

and CNY/NZD exchange rates. The Group also has foreign currency risk resulting from sales of product in a currency

which is other than that of the New Zealand Dollar. Profits from each export region are repatriated and reported in New

Zealand Dollars and the Group is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates.

To minimise foreign currency risk, the Group enters into forward exchange contracts and options for foreign denominated

sales at levels which are considered to be highly probable. The Group attempts to maintain foreign currency cover of

between 75% to 100% of highly probable sales in one to three months, 50% to 75% for highly probable sales in four to

six months, 25% to 50% for highly probable sales in seven to 12 months, 0% to 50% for sales between 13 to 18 months

and between 0% to 25% for sales thereafter. The Group has the option of increasing foreign exchange cover to 100%

for any time period upon approval by the Board of Directors.

When the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of being contractually committed to purchase capital

items from an overseas supplier and such expenditure is expected to exceed $200,000, the Group’s policy is to ensure

the foreign currency exposure is covered in full. Any capital expenditure between $100,000 and $200,000 is to be

covered at the discretion of the TMC, based on such factors as timing for payment and expected volatility of currency

markets. It is the Group’s policy that in no instance is trading for speculative purposes permitted.

NZD/EUR +5% (54) (54) (57) (57)

NZD/EUR -5% 60 60 63 63

The table above calculates the impact of a change in foreign exchange rates on closing equity and post-tax profits of

the Group, as a result of the Group being counterparty to transactions which are foreign currency denominated. Foreign

currency denominated balances include trade and other receivables, trade payables and accruals, interest-bearing loans

and borrowings, cash and cash equivalents, and unsettled foreign exchange contracts that exist at balance sheet date.

The net foreign currency exposure is determined in aggregate and the impact on post-tax profits determined as a result

of a +/- 5% movement in foreign exchange rates. A +5% movement reflects the strengthening of the NZD relative to the

other currency, whereas a -5% movement reflects the weakening of the NZD relative to the other currency.

The impact upon the Group’s equity balance is derived through determining the impact on post-tax profits as noted

above.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN OPERATION

For hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging

instrument is recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign

currency translation reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of

financial performance. On disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative amount of any such gains or

losses accumulated within equity is transferred to the statement of financial performance.

The net assets employed in Barossa Valley Estate Pty Limited (BVE) exposes the Group to foreign currency risk as a result

of changes in the AUD/NZD exchange rate.

The foreign currency movement on translation of the net assets of BVE is included in the statement of other comprehensive

income. Since the acquisition of BVE the Group has maintained a portion of their external borrowings in AUD to

mitigate this risk. The foreign exchange movement on these external borrowings in the absence of hedge accounting is

included in the statement of financial performance.

External borrowings of A$29,350,000 have been designated as a hedge of the net investment in BVE. Gains or losses on

the retranslation of this borrowing are transferred to the statement of other comprehensive income to offset any gains or

losses on translation of the net assets of BVE. There is no hedge ineffectiveness in the year ended 30 June 2020.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long-term and short-

term debt obligations with interest payable based on floating rates of interest. Interest rate risk is monitored by the TMC

on an ongoing basis. The recommendation by the TMC to enter into fixed or variable rate debt facilities and decisions

to retire existing debt instruments is made after consideration of the economic indicators impacting upon the overnight

cash rate, which influences the rates of interest charged by financial institutions. All funding facilities recommended by

the TMC must be approved by the Board of Directors.

The Group manages interest rate risk through maintaining a mix of debt instruments having variable and fixed interest

rates. The Group’s policy is to maintain a level of fixed debt facilities between 40% to 100% of core debt for a period

of one year, between 30% to 80% of projected core debt for periods of one to three years, and between 15% to 60%

of projected core debt facilities for three to five years. Board approval is required for any fixed rate cover that extends

beyond five years.

The Group also manages interest rate risk through being counterparty to a series of interest rate swaps. The Group

agrees to settle or has the option to exchange, at specified dates, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest

amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. These are discussed in Note 9: Derivative

Financial Instruments.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

47

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
The table below demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables

held constant, on the Group’s post-tax profits and equity:

IMPACT ON 2020 REPORTED IMPACT ON 2019 REPORTED

Post-Tax Equity Post-Tax Equity

Profits Profits

Group $000 $000 $000 $000

2.00% Increase – 200 basis points

0.25% Decrease – 25 basis points

(2019: 0.25% Decrease – 25 basis points) (523) (523) (525) (525)

The key assumptions which impact upon the values presented in the above table are the following:

– Cash and cash equivalents include deposits on call which are at floating interest rates. The estimated impact upon

interest revenues from these sources is based upon amounts held on deposit remaining at consistent levels as

reported at the balance sheet date. For foreign denominated deposits, the impact on foreign exchange is based on

the conversion rate existing at balance sheet date.

– Account balances that are trade receivables or trade payables are generally on 30 to 90 day terms and are non-

interest bearing and are not subject to interest rate risk.

– The impact upon the fair value of the interest rate swaps is based upon the differential in rates between the Group

paying a fixed rate of interest and receiving the floating New Zealand Bank Bill Rate (BKBM) multiplied by the

nominal amount under the swap agreement up until maturity.

– Interest payable on bank debt is based upon the BKBM, plus a margin. The margin is dependent upon the Group

achieving certain financial covenants and the margin ranges from 1.02% to 1.50%. The analysis assumes that the

margin and principal are held constant at the same rate as at the balance sheet date with the sensitivity calculating

the effect on interest expense of movements in the BKBM/BBSY rate. The analysis excludes any future interest that

would be capitalised as part of long-term assets.

– Included in the above table is the change in fair value of interest rate swaps, which results from changes in the

floating interest rate.

CREDIT RISK

The Group trades with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish

to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing

basis. The maximum exposure to the carrying amount of receivable balances is disclosed in Note 11. The Group does

not have any significant concentrations of credit risk.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202048

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk that an unforeseen event or miscalculation in the required liquidity level may lead to the Group

being unable to meet its day to day funding obligations. To minimise liquidity risk, the Group’s policy is to maintain

committed funding facilities at a minimum of 105% of the projected peak debt level over the next 12 months (excluding

the cash requirements for any business combinations).

A General Security Agreement exists in favour of Westpac New Zealand Limited, Westpac Banking Corporation, Bank

of New Zealand Limited, China Construction Bank (New Zealand) Limited, and Hongkong and Shanghai Banking

Corporation Limited to secure amounts loaned to the Group. The General Security Agreement covers the existing and

future assets of Delegat Group Limited, Delegat Limited, Delegat Australia Pty Limited, and Barossa Valley Estate Pty

Limited. The amount of the guarantee in respect of the banking facilities is not included in the table above and is the

lower value of the net assets of the Group and the aggregate of the loans advanced at balance date. Loan facilities are

disclosed in Note 10.

The table below presents all contractual payments which the Group is legally obliged to make and includes all future

interest payments on interest-bearing facilities. The interest cost has been estimated by maintaining the current principal

balance and interest rates that exist at balance sheet date. The table also includes the New Zealand Dollar equivalent for

the foreign currency amounts, which are to be delivered to fulfil obligations under foreign currency contracts.

at balance date. For each individual guarantee, if the obligation at balance date is lower than the maximum amount

callable under the guarantee then the lower value has been included. The guarantees can be called in favour of the

beneficiary if certain acts of non-performance occur. The Directors consider the likelihood of each financial guarantee

being called remote.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of financial instruments is presented in the previous table. For financial instruments measured at fair value,

further disclosure is required that allocates the fair values into a measurement hierarchy. The following principles have

been applied in classifying these instruments:

Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the

asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices);

Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of the financial instruments as well as the methods used to estimate the fair value are summarised in the

table below:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

30 June 2020 $000 $000 $000 $000

Financial Assets

Foreign currency forward exchange option contracts – 2,052 – 2,052

– 3,687 – 3,687

Financial Liabilities

Interest rate swap contracts – 10,549 – 10,549

– 10,549 – 10,549


The fair value of financial instruments held at balance date that are not traded on an active market include foreign

currency forward exchange contracts and options, and net settled interest rate swap contracts. The fair values are

derived through valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as

little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs come from observable market data the instrument is

included in Level 2 of the hierarchy.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
FINANCIAL RISK ASSOCIATED TO BEARER PLANTS

The Group is exposed to financial risks in respect of agricultural activities. The agricultural activities of the Group consist

of the management of vineyards to produce grapes for use in the production of wine. The primary risk borne by the

Group is caused by the length of time between when cash is expended on the purchase or planting and maintenance

of grapevines and on harvesting grapes and the ultimate realisation of proceeds from the sale of finished product (wine).

The Group takes reasonable measures to ensure that the current year’s harvest is not affected by disease, drought,

frost, or other factors that may have a negative effect on yield and quality. These measures include consultation with

experts in viticulture, frost protection measures, and ensuring that each vineyard is managed according to a specifically

developed Vineyard Management Calendar.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to

maintain optimal returns to Shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders of the business. The ultimate aim is to

maintain a capital structure which provides flexibility to enable future growth of the Group while ensuring the lowest

cost of capital is available to the Group.

Management reviews the capital structure of the Group as a result of changes in market conditions which impact on

interest and foreign exchange rates and may adjust the capital structure to take advantage of these changes. Management

has no current plans to issue further shares on the market but is intent on growing the business which will require future

funding.

The Group is subject to a series of bank covenants over its Senior Debt facilities. These are discussed in Note 10.

3. SEGMENTAL REPORTING

An operating segment is a reportable segment if the segment engages in business activities in which it may

earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Chief

Operating Decision Maker and for which discrete financial information is available.

The Group reviews its operational performance based upon the management and the geographic areas in which their

customers are based. Financial information which is available to management in order to assess segment performance

and investment opportunities is presented on the same basis. In accordance with NZ IFRS 8: Operating Segments this

forms the basis of presentation for Segment Reporting and is in the format adopted below:

– Delegat Limited (Delegat) is party to vineyard leases and has interests in freehold land and winery infrastructure

which allows the Company to grow, harvest and make finished wine to be marketed, distributed and sold into the

Super Premium wine markets. Delegat sells and markets its product through a combination of subsidiary companies

based overseas or to customers and distributors directly in the New Zealand, Canadian, Asian and Pacific Island

markets. Delegat Australia Pty Limited, Delegat Europe Limited and Delegat USA, Inc. act as distributors and assist

in the marketing of product in their respective geographic regions. Wines are sold all year round to all regions and

the Group considers there is no significant variation in revenues throughout the year.

The Group implements appropriate transfer pricing regimes within the operating segments on an arm’s length basis in a

manner similar to transactions with third parties.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making resource allocations

and performance assessments. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss, which may be

measured differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements as segment reporting is based

upon internal management reports. The main differences are a result of some deferred tax balances being recognised

upon consolidation not being allocated to individual subsidiaries. Also inter-company stock margin eliminations are

managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

R E V E N U E

Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfies its performance obligation to the customer. Satisfaction of a

performance obligation occurs when the Group has transferred a promised good to the customer and when

the customer obtains control of that good. The following specific recognition criteria have been applied to

each individual classification of revenue:

i) Sale of Goods

The primary source of revenue earned by the Group is through providing wine to third party retailers and

distributors. Revenue is recognised when control of the wine has passed to the buyer and the costs incurred

or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Control is considered passed to the

buyer at the time of delivery of goods to the customer.

ii) Interest Revenue

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method. This is a method of

calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period

using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through

the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
R E V E N U E

Sales are often made with volume discounts, other rebates and various other payments to customers for

promotional support. For volume discounts and other rebates not invoiced at the reporting date, these

are estimated based on agreements with customers and estimated depletions during the period. Other

payments to customers for promotional support include listing fees, mailer fees and other incentives. For

expenses that have not been invoiced at the reporting date, these are estimated based on agreements with

customers and estimated achievement of various targets by the customer. At 30 June 2020 the Group has

recognised accruals for all these expenses of $22.4 million (2019: $22.7 million). The majority of these

amounts will be settled within the six months following balance date.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated as Group profit after income tax attributable to ordinary shareholders

of the Parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share

dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as Group profit after income tax attributable to ordinary shareholders

of the Parent adjusted for:

– costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

– the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have

been recognised as expenses;

– other non-discretionary changes in revenues and expenses during the period that would result from

the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
8. TRADE PAYABLES AND ACCRUALS

Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and then carried at amortised cost, and due to their short-

term nature, they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group

prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make

future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is

probable that an outflow of economic resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the

obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured as the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to

settle the present value of the obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money

is material, provisions are discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks

specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a

finance cost.

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulated sick leave

expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date, are recognised in respect of the employee’s

services up to the reporting date. They are measured as 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 is measured

at the rates paid or payable.

The Group makes regular contributions to various defined contribution pension plans. Included within the

statement of financial performance are amounts paid and payable by the Group into these pension plans,

net of any related tax rebates. The Group does not make available or make contributions to any defined

benefit superannuation plans.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts and options to

economically hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate swaps to manage

interest rate risk. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on

which a derivative contract is entered into, and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at balance date.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the statement of

financial performance. The fair value of forward exchange contracts and options is determined by reference

to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of interest rate

swaps is determined by reference to market values for similar instruments.

The Group’s derivative financial instruments are classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as they have

inputs other than observable quoted prices. In calculating the mark-to-market values, management has

considered the forward rates.

The Group has the following derivative financial instruments outstanding at the balance sheet date:

NZ IFRS 9: Financial Instruments requires that derivative financial instruments are classified as fair value

through profit or loss for measurement purposes unless they are accounted for as hedges. Under NZ IAS

1: Presentation of Financial Statements, assets and liabilities under the fair value through profit or loss

classification would generally be classified as current in the statement of financial position. However, if the

intent is not to actually trade the derivative financial instruments with maturities greater than one year but

to hold them until maturity, then the derivative financial instruments are more appropriately classified as

non-current. The amounts that are classified as non-current reflect the amounts that will not be settled in

the next 12 months.

The classification of forward exchange contracts and forward currency options between current and non-current is

based on whether the contracts will be settled in the next 12 months. The fair value of open contracts existing at balance

sheet date are classified as follows:

b) Interest Rate Swaps

In order to protect against risks relating to increases in interest rates, the Group has entered into interest rate swap

contracts under which the Group receives interest at variable rates and has agreed to pay interest at fixed rates for

varying terms of principal and time durations.

At balance sheet date interest rate contracts are in place that cover a total of $97,500,000 (2019: $95,000,000) of current

New Zealand Dollar denominated Group debt through 11 separate cap rate agreements, which range in maturity from

zero to four years, with a weighted average interest rate cap of 3.75% plus bank margin (2019: 4.05% plus bank margin).

In addition, interest rate contracts are in place that cover a total of A$37,500,000 (2019: A$27,500,000) of current

Australian Dollar denominated Group debt through eight separate cap rate agreements, which range in maturity from

two to five years, with a weighted average interest rate cap of 2.66% plus bank margin (2019: 2.92% plus bank margin).

At balance sheet date the Group has a further three separate cap rate agreements that cover a total of $45,000,000

(2019: $40,000,000) which apply from various future dates to cover future Group indebtedness. These range in maturity

from five to six years, with interest rate caps ranging between 0.95% and 3.1% plus bank margin (2019: 2.1% and

3.71% plus bank margin). A further two cap rate agreements are in place that cover a total of A$10,000,000 (2019:

A$10,000,000) which apply from various future dates, ranging in maturity from five to six years, with an interest rate cap

of 0.8% plus bank margin (2019: 1.87% and 1.98% plus bank margin). The application date of these New Zealand Dollar

and Australian Dollar denominated future cap rate agreements range between July 2020 and March 2023.

The total fair value of these contracts at balance sheet date is a liability of $10,549,000 (2019: $9,281,000 liability).

The Group has elected not to apply hedge accounting to its derivative financial instruments and accordingly

the instruments have been classified as fair value through profit and loss.

The classification between current and non-current is based on whether the contracts or portion of contracts will be

settled within the next 12 months. The total fair value of these contracts at balance sheet date is classified as follows:

10. INTEREST-BEARING LOANS AND BORROWINGS

a) Debt Facilities Existing at Balance Sheet Date

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received,

less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are

subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment

of loan facilities that are yield related are included as part of the carrying amount of the interest-bearing

loans and borrowings. 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 balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except when they are directly attributable to the acquisition or

construction of a qualifying asset. When this is the case, they are capitalised as part of that asset. Once the

asset is put into productive use, capitalisation of the borrowing costs ceases.

At the balance sheet date the following debt facilities have been drawn upon by the Group:

b) Terms and Conditions of Debt Facilities

i) Senior Debt Facilities

The Group has a syndicated Senior Debt facilities agreement with Westpac New Zealand Limited, Westpac Banking

Corporation, Bank of New Zealand Limited (BNZ), China Construction Bank (New Zealand) Limited (CCB) and Hongkong

and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC). With the syndicated facility a General Security Agreement has been

put in place in favour of the banks over the existing and future assets of Delegat Group Limited, Delegat Limited, Delegat

Australia Pty Limited and Barossa Valley Estate Pty Limited.

At balance sheet date the Working Capital facility, Term facility (Multi-Currency), Term facility (AUD), and Headroom

facility collectively make up the syndicated Senior Debt Facilities of Delegat, which provide funding for the assets of the

Group. The maximum limit of the Working Capital facility is NZ$48,000,000 (2019: NZ$48,000,000), Term facility (Multi-

Currency) is NZ$220,000,000 (2019: NZ$220,000,000), Term facility (AUD) is A$40,000,000 (2019: A$40,000,000),

and the Headroom facility is NZ$20,000,000 (2019: NZ$20,000,000). At balance sheet date NZ$75,828,000 (2019:

NZ$52,832,000) is available for further drawdown on these facilities.

The Term facility (AUD) and a portion of the Term facility (Multi-Currency) are denominated in Australian Dollars (A$).

The amount drawn down in foreign currency at the balance sheet date was A$61,850,000 (2019: A$61,850,000).

Interest on these facilities is based on the BKBM/BBSY plus margin. The facility agreement requires that certain banking

covenants be met and requires the Group to maintain or better a specified EBITDA and fixed charges coverage ratios,

and maintain or better a minimum adjusted equity balance. The Group must also maintain or better a specified total

tangible asset backing. At year-end, and at measurement dates during the year, the covenants of the Senior Debt

Facilities have been met.

ii) Other Facilities

Delegat also has available an overdraft limit of $1,000,000 (2019: $1,000,000). Interest charged on this facility is at the

commercial lending rate (2019: commercial lending rate). At 30 June 2020 the commercial lending rate is 4.75% (2019:

commercial lending rate 5.85%). No amount is drawn against this facility at balance sheet date.

11. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

On initial recognition, the Group’s trade receivables are recognised at their transaction price as defined in

NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Group’s trade receivable balances are generally

short term and do not contain a significant financing component. They are subsequently measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for expected future credit losses.

The Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime

expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. Expected credit losses are measured by grouping trade

receivables based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. A provision matrix is then

determined based on the historical credit loss rates for each group of customers, adjusted for any material

expected changes to the future risk for that customer group.

Individual trade receivable balances which are known to be uncollectible are written off where the Group

has no reasonable expectation of recovering the trade receivable balance.

Total trade receivables 2,942 12,478 10,302 6, 511 4,488 36,721

All amounts recognised as trade receivables are unsecured and the maximum credit risk is equivalent to the carrying

values noted directly above. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and generally settled on 30 to 90 day terms.

Because of their short-term nature trade receivables are not discounted.

In determining the historical loss rates to be applied to these customer groups and ageing buckets, the Group has reviewed

whether there was any provision for credit losses written off over the past five years and has identified that these were

$nil (2019: $nil). Accordingly the historical loss rates applied to each customer group at 30 June 2020 are 0% (2019: 0%).

Due to the short-term nature of the Group’s trade receivables, the nature of the Group’s customer base and the Group’s

experience over the past five years, the historical loss rates have not been adjusted for any material expected future

changes in credit risk.

12. INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated

selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs

necessary to make the sale. Costs of finished goods sold are assigned on a weighted average cost basis.

GRAPES

Included within the cost of inventory is the fair value of the grapes (agricultural produce) at the time the

grapes are harvested. At the point of harvest, the harvest of grapes qualify as agricultural produce under NZ

IAS 41: Agriculture and are recorded at fair value at that date. The fair value becomes the basis of cost when

accounting for inventories.

Growing Costs

a) Growing Costs where the Group maintains a Beneficial Ownership in Vine Stock

Harvesting of the grape crop is ordinarily performed in late March or early April. Costs incurred in growing

the grapes, including any applicable harvest costs, are initially allocated to the cost of inventory as part of

the total costs to acquire and grow the agricultural produce. At the point of harvest, a fair value adjustment

is made so that the cost per tonne is adjusted to fair value in accordance with NZ IAS 41: Agriculture and

NZ IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement. Any difference between cost and fair value is included within the

statement of financial performance as cost of sales.

b) Growing Costs where the Group is not the Beneficial Owner of Vine Stock

The Group is party to long-term vineyard operating lease contracts where the Group is able to access,

harvest and grow agricultural produce; however, it does not maintain the beneficial ownership in the

underlying bearer plant. Vineyard costs that are incurred subsequent to harvest up to balance sheet date

do not qualify as agricultural produce under NZ IAS 41: Agriculture and are accounted under NZ IAS 2:

Inventories, as inventories. Where growing costs are incurred and the Group is not the beneficial owner of

the bearer plants, growing costs are reported at the lower of cost and net realisable value in accordance with

NZ IAS 2: Inventories.

At the point of harvest, management labour and vineyard lease costs (right-of-use asset depreciation and

lease liability interest) have been separately identified from the pool of growing costs and do not form

part of the difference between cost and fair value. These costs are expensed to the statement of financial

performance as cost of sales.

The fair value of grapes at the point of harvest is determined by reference to the market prices for each variety

of grape grown in the local area and the market price paid to independent grape growers. Any difference

between cost and fair value is included within the statement of financial performance as cost of sales.

Australia. Of this amount a total of 11,054 tonnes (2019: 10,686 tonnes) was purchased from independent third party

growers. The fair value of agricultural produce from the Group’s owned and leased vineyards at the point of harvest was

$53,161,000 (2019: $47,339,000). A fair value gain of $16,325,000 (2019: $14,019,000) was recorded during the year

and included within cost of sales. Included within cost of sales is a total of $168,575,000 (2019 Restated*: $157,847,000)

13. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated

impairment losses. Such costs include the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the

cost of replacing the parts is incurred. The cost of purchased property, plant and equipment is the value of

the consideration given to acquire the assets and the value of other directly attributable costs that have been

incurred in bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for their intended service.

The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of all materials used in the construction, direct labour

on the project, lease costs and financing costs that are directly attributable to the project and an appropriate

proportion of variable and fixed overheads. Costs cease to be capitalised when the asset is ready for

productive use. In respect of vineyard improvements, capitalisation of costs continues until the vineyards

are ready for productive use, which is when the vineyard has produced approximately 60% of expected

yield at full production, ordinarily a period of three years after the planting of vines.

Land and Land Improvement assets are measured at cost and are not subject to depreciation.

IMPAIRMENT

Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying

amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is

determined, being the higher of an asset’s fair value, less costs to sell, and value in use. An impairment

charge is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are valued at the lowest levels for which there are separately

identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202068

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
DEPRECIATION

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, other than land, which has an indefinite economic life

and hence not depreciated, is charged on a straight-line basis so as to write off the assets to their expected

residual value over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings 10–50 years

Plant and Equipment 3–50 years

Vineyard Improvements 3–50 years

Bearer Plants 50 years

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as lease terms.

The condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining useful

life. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary.

Depreciation on vineyard improvements commences when the vineyard is considered to be in commercial

production, which is when the vineyard has produced approximately 60% of the expected yield at full

production, ordinarily a period of three years after the planting of vines. The assets’ residual values, useful

lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each financial year.

Capitalised assets on leased vineyards or office premises are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated

useful life of the asset and the remaining lease term.

IMPAIRMENT

The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the

Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable

amount of the asset is determined. Management considers there are no indicators of impairment in the

current year and the recoverable amount of the Group’s assets was not required to be determined.

b) Other Items

During the year, no assets were transferred and classified as assets available for sale. The weighted average interest rate

on interest capitalised during the year was 4.68%.

Bearer Plants consist of grapevines on company owned vineyards located in New Zealand and the Barossa Valley,

Australia. At 30 June 2020 the Group has grape vines planted on 1,528 productive hectares of land (2019: 1,451

productive hectares) in New Zealand and 183 productive hectares (2019: 183 productive hectares) in Australia.

The net book value of vines on leased land where the Group does not have the beneficial ownership in the vine asset

is not reported above, as the risks and rewards incidental to owning the vines do not transfer to the Group. The Group

is, however, party to leases of land on which vine stock is owned by the Group. The net book value of these assets is

reported, as the risk and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the Group.

14. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of the intangible

assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial

recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated

impairment losses.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite

lives are amortised over their useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that

the intangible asset may be impaired. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are

tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit (CGU) level. The assessment

of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable;


if not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets currently owned by the Group have been assessed as having indefinite useful lives and are

therefore tested annually for impairment at the CGU level. The recoverable amount of the CGU’s assets are

higher than the assets’ carrying value and therefore no impairment is required to be recognised.

Intangible assets currently owned by the Group consist of water rights in both New Zealand and Australia.

Barossa Valley Estate Pty Limited (BVE) owns water rights consisting of shares in Barossa Infrastructure Limited and

associated infrastructure levies. These water rights grant BVE the right to a fixed number of units of water per share and

were purchased by BVE to support their vineyard activities. BVE continues to have the right to use the water over an

indefinite period and therefore the water rights are considered to have an indefinite useful life.

Delegat Limited (Delegat) owns water rights consisting of shares in Lower Waihopai Dam Limited. These water rights

grant Delegat the right to a fixed number of units of water per share and were purchased by Delegat to support their

vineyard activities. Delegat continues to have the right to use the water over an indefinite period and therefore the water

rights are considered to have an indefinite useful life.

15. LEASES

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. 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.

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for leases of low-value

assets. The Group applies the low-value assets recognition exemption for its barrel leases. Payments on the

Group’s barrel leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the lease terms. The Group recognises lease

liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets

are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any

remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities

recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less

any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of

the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets

are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment.

LEASE LIABILITY

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value

of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the

Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease when readily determinable; if the implicit interest rate is not

readily determinable the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. After

the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and

reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if

there is a modification, a change in the lease term or a change in the lease payments.

Right-of-use asset depreciation and lease liability interest that are directly attributable to bringing new

vineyards to working condition for their intended use are capitalised up until the time the vineyards become

commercially productive. The accumulated amount is then amortised over the remaining lease term.

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered

by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised. When the Group has the option to

extend a lease, management uses its judgement to determine whether or not an option would be reasonably

certain to be exercised. Management considers all facts and circumstances, including its past practice and any

cost that will be incurred to change the asset if an option to extend is not taken, to help determine the lease term.

After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in

circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew.

To determine the value of the lease liability, the future lease payments are discounted using the interest rate

implicit in the lease, otherwise the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Implicit interest rates are present

in most of the Group’s vineyard leases. The Group’s incremental borrowing rate is the rate that the Group 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. The Group is required to revise the discount rate used if there is a change

in the lease term, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, a change in future

lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, or where there

is a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease.

RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

Leases held by the Group include long-term land leases, which allow the Group to access prime viticultural land in the

Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay areas. The leases provide the Group the right of first refusal in the event that the land is

16. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured as the amount expected to

be recovered from, or paid to, the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The

tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at

the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided for all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax

bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income

tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and

unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the

deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can

be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and

reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all,

or part of, the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the

year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates and tax laws that have been

enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement

of financial performance.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets

against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and

the same taxation authority.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Independent auditor’s report to the Shareholders of Delegat Group Limited

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Delegat Group Limited (“the company”) and its

subsidiaries (together “the Group”) on pages 28 to 80, which comprise the statement of financial position of

the Group as at 30 June 2020, and the statement of financial performance, statement of other comprehensive

income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended of the Group, and the

notes to the financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements on pages 28 to 80 present fairly, in all material respects,

the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2020 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year

then ended in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and

International Financial Reporting Standards.

This report is made solely to the company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit has been undertaken so that we

might state to the company’s shareholders those matters 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.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Our

responsibilities under those standards are further described in the

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the

Financial Statements

section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1

International Code of

Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand)

issued by

the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities

in accordance with these requirements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our

opinion.

Ernst & Young provides tax advisory and tax compliance services to the Group. Partners and employees of our

firm may deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of

the Group. We have no other relationship with, or interest in, the Group or any of its subsidiaries.

Key audit matters

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

of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the

financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on

these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that

context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial

statements

section of the audit report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the

performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the

financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the

matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED
Why Significant?How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue Recognition – Cut Off

As disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements, the Group

recognised revenue totalling $304m for the period.

The Group recognises revenue from sale of goods in several

different markets and jurisdictions globally. Control of the goods is

considered to have transferred to the buyer at the time of delivery of

goods to the customer as per the relevant terms of trade.

Revenue recognition is considered a key audit matter due to the fact

that material revenue transactions can occur close to year end and

so there is a risk that revenue is recognised in the incorrect period.

In obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence we:

• assessed and tested the design and operating effectiveness of relevant

controls over the timing of revenue recognition;

• tested, on a sample basis, transactions recorded in the periods before

and after year-end to assess whether they were recorded in the correct

period. This included considering shipping documentation or other

documentation indicating the shipping timing and terms;

• analysed credit notes issued after year end to assess whether these

indicated that revenue was incorrectly recognised in the 2020 financial

year; and

• considered the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements.

Rebates and Promotional Allowances

As disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements, revenue is

recognised net of rebates and promotional allowances owed to

customers based on their individual arrangements, including volume

and non-volume related targets. As disclosed in note 3 the accrual

for these rebates as at 30 June 2020 is $22.4m.

Rebates and promotional allowances include various amounts due

to customers for promotional support and rebates related to sales

volume that are netted against sales. At year end judgement is

required in estimating the level of achievement of future targets by

relevant customers and therefore the level of applicable rebates and

promotional allowances.

The value of the rebate and promotional allowances accruals at

balance date, together with the level of judgement involved in their

estimation, lead to us consider this to be a key audit matter.


In obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence we:

• assessed and tested the design and operating effectiveness of relevant

controls over the calculation of rebates and promotional allowances;

• selected a sample of sales promotional allowance expenses from

throughout the year and agreed to supporting documentation;

• performed analysis of the relationship between revenue and the total of

rebates and volume related promotional allowance expenses to ascertain

if this relationship was in line with our understanding of the Group’s

operations;

• considered the assumptions and judgements used by the Group in

calculating the accrual for rebates and promotional allowances by

reviewing management’s calculations supporting the year end accruals.

For a sample of rebate and promotional allowances accruals, we assessed

the calculation prepared by management and validated the calculation

inputs to supporting evidence;

• performed analytical procedures on the largest accruals for rebates and

promotional allowances in each location in comparison to the prior year

to challenge the nature and quantum of the accruals at year end; and

• considered the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202082

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED
Why Significant?How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Adoption of NZ IFRS 16 Leases

As disclosed in Note 15, the Group recognised right of use assets of

$58.5 million and lease liabilities of $84.1 million at 30 June 2020.

The Group adopted NZ IFRS 16 Leases on 1 July 2019. Under NZ IFRS

16, an entity must recognise a right of use asset and a lease liability

arising from leases (with some exceptions), in the consolidated

statement of financial position.

The Group has applied the fully retrospective approach to adoption.

Under the full retrospective approach, the Group restated the

comparative financial periods to recognise a right of use asset of

$64.3 million and a lease liability of $88.9 million on 1 July 2018,

and a right of use asset of $61.1 million and a lease liability of $86.4

million on 1 July 2019.

The Group has disclosed the effect of the change in accounting

policy in Note 1 to enable users of the financial statements to

evaluate the impact of the change on the financial performance,

financial position and cashflows of the Group.

Judgement is required relating to the assumptions and estimates

made in order to determine the right of use asset and lease liability.

Key assumptions include estimating the lease term, by considering

any rights of renewal, and the rate used to discount the lease liability

and right of use asset at the inception of the lease.

The adoption of NZ IFRS 16 is a key audit matter as the adjustments

arising on adoption of NZ IFRS 16 are material to the Group and

required judgements and estimates to be made.

In obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence we:

• understood and documented management’s process for adopting NZ

IFRS 16, including the controls in place to ensure the population of leases

considered was completed;

• considered the accounting memos prepared by management explaining

the approach taken, choices made and accounting positions adopted, and

ensured these complied with NZ IFRS 16;

• assessed the Group’s quantification of the right of use asset and lease

liability as at 1 July 2018, and on a sample basis we:

• examined key contractual inputs to the calculations including lease end

dates, fixed lease payments and fixed lease payment escalation terms;

• evaluated key judgements and estimates including the assumed

exercise of rights of renewal used to determine the lease term and the

discount rate applied to the lease portfolio;

• assessed the completeness of leases included in the determination of

the Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability; and

• recalculated the lease liability and asset values to ensure the values

calculated by management were calculated correctly in accordance

with NZ IFRS 16.

• tested movements, including on a sample basis lease additions and

disposals, in the right of use asset and lease liability from 1 July 2018 to

30 June 2019 and during the year to 30 June 2020;

• recalculated the interest and depreciation charges recognised in the

income statement for the 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020 years relating

to the lease liability and the right of use assets respectively; and

• considered the adequacy of the disclosures in the consolidated financial

statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED
Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report

The directors of the company are responsible for the Annual Report, which includes information other than the

financial statements and auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of

assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in

doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our

knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based upon the work we have performed, 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.

Directors’ responsibilities for the financial statements

The directors are responsible, on behalf of the entity, for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial

statements in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and

International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary

to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud

or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing on behalf of the entity 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 cease

operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) 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 financial statements.

A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the

External Reporting Board’s website: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-

responsibilities/audit-report-1/. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Delegat Group Limited (“the Group”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of governance by adopting

and implementing best practice structures and policies. This Corporate Governance Statement sets out the corporate

governance policies, practices, and processes adopted and followed by the Group (including the guiding principles,

authority, responsibilities, membership and operation of the Board of Directors) as at 28 August 2020 and has been

approved by the Board.

The best practice principles (and underlying recommendations) which the Group has had in regard to determining its

governance approach are the principles set out in the NZX Corporate Governance Code 2017 (‘NZX Code’). The Board’s

view is that the Group’s corporate governance policies, practices and processes generally follow the recommendations of

the NZX Code. This Corporate Governance Statement includes disclosure of the extent to which the Group has followed

each of the recommendations in the NZX Code (or where applicable, an explanation as to why a recommendation was

not followed and any alternative practice followed in lieu of the recommendation).

The Group is a company incorporated in New Zealand and listed on the NZX Main Board. Further information about

the Group’s corporate governance framework (including the Board and Board Committee charters, and codes and

selected policies referred to in this section) is available on the Group’s website at www.delegat.com, under the Investor

Relations section.

PRINCIPLE 1 – CODE OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR

Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management accountable for

these standards being followed throughout the organisation.

CODE OF ETHICS AND RELATED POLICIES

Recommendation 1.1: The board should document minimum standards of ethical behaviour to which the issuer’s directors

and employees are expected to adhere (a code of ethics).

The Group expects its Directors, senior management and employees to maintain the highest standards of honesty,

integrity and ethical conduct in day to day behaviour and decision making. The Board has adopted a Code of Ethics

which incorporates the requirements set out in Recommendation 1.1, forms part of the induction process for all new

employees and is available on the Group’s website. All Directors, senior management and employees must provide

acknowledgement that they have read and understood the content.

FINANCIAL PRODUCTS TRADING POLICY

Recommendation 1.2: An issuer should have a financial product dealing policy which applies to employees and directors.

The Financial Products Trading Policy sets out the Group’s requirements for all Directors and employees in relation

to trading the Group’s shares and is available on the Group’s website. This policy incorporates all trading restraints.

In general, Directors and employees are allowed to trade in the Group shares during two ‘trading windows’. Trading

windows commence on the day after the half-year and full-year results are announced to the market and close on the

respective half-year and full-year balance date, which typically means an ‘open period’ of approximately 120 days.

Trading outside these windows is generally prohibited. Proposed transactions by Directors and employees during the

trading windows require approval. The policy also provides that no Directors or employees can trade shares if they are

in possession of price sensitive information that is not publicly available.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED
PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE

To ensure an effective board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience and perspectives.

BOARD CHARTER

Recommendation 2.1: The board of an issuer should operate under a written charter which sets out the roles and

responsibilities of the board. The board charter should clearly distinguish and disclose the respective roles and

responsibilities of the board and management.

The Board has adopted a formal Board Charter which sets out the respective roles, responsibilities, composition and

structure of the Board and senior management, and this is available on the Group’s website. The Board is responsible

for the direction and control of the Group’s activities and acknowledges the need for the highest standard of corporate

governance. The responsibility includes such areas of stewardship as the identification and control of the Group’s

business risks, the integrity of management systems and reporting to Shareholders. The primary objective of the Board

is to build long-term Shareholder value, with due regard to other stakeholder interests. It does this by adopting the

strategic plans, objectives and policies that have been set for the Group by the Managing Director, together with senior

management. Responsibility for day-to-day management of the Group has been delegated to the Managing Director and

other members of senior management, to deliver effective execution of the strategic plans and manage the daily affairs

of the Group. The Managing Director reports regularly to the Board on Group performance, as well as the progress being

made against the strategic plans. Management is responsible for implementing the objectives and strategies approved

by the Board, within the ambit of risk set by the Board.

NOMINATION AND APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS

Recommendations 2.2 and 2.3: Every issuer should have a procedure and appointment of directors to the board. An issuer

should enter into written agreements with each newly appointed director establishing the terms of the appointment.

The Board collectively considers the nominations of Directors. In doing this, the Board’s procedure involves careful

consideration of the composition of the Board in relation to the Group’s needs and operating environment to ensure

relevant skills and experience. This also applies to the consideration of additional or replacement Directors, subject to

the constitutional limitation on the number of Directors. In so doing, as noted, the priority must be on ensuring the skills,

experience and diversity on the Board, and the skills that are necessary or desirable for the Board to fulfil its governance

role and to contribute to the long-term strategic direction of the Group. The Board may engage consultants to assist in

the identification, recruitment and appointment of suitable candidates.

When appointing new Directors, the Board ensures that the constitutional requirements in respect of Directors will

continue to be satisfied. There must be at least three and no more than nine, at least two Directors must be resident

in New Zealand and, while the Company is listed, at least two Directors must be determined by the Board to be

independent.

The NZX Listing Rules and the Group’s Constitution requires that all Directors stand for re-election at the Annual

Meeting of Shareholders within three years of last being elected. Directors may be appointed by the Board to fill

vacancies, but they are then subject to re-election at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In addition to Directors

retiring by rotation, and eligible for re-election, nominations may be made by Shareholders. All new Directors will enter

into a written agreement with the Group setting out the terms of their appointment.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED
D I R E C TO R S

Recommendation 2.4: Every issuer should disclose information about each director in its annual report or on its website,

including a profile of experience, length of service, independence and ownership interests and director attendance at

board meetings.

The Board currently comprises seven Directors; five Non-Executive and two Executive Directors. The Board has

considered which of its Directors are deemed to be independent for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules and has

determined that as at 28 August 2020, two Directors were independent Directors, including the Chair of the Audit and

Risk Committee and the Chair of the Remuneration Committee. As at 28 August 2020, the Directors are:

Jakov (Jim) Delegat Executive Appointed in April 2006

Rosemari (Rose) Delegat Non-Executive Appointed in April 2006

John Freeman Executive Appointed in July 2018

Robert (Bob) Wilton Non-Executive Appointed in April 2006

Graeme Lord Non-Executive Appointed in July 2020

Dr Alan Jackson Independent Appointed in October 2012

Shelley Cave Independent Appointed in September 2016

A profile of experience for each Director is available on the Group’s website and included in the Annual Report on

pages 22 through 24.

DIVERSITY

Recommendation 2.5: An issuer should have a written diversity policy which includes requirement for the board or a

relevant committee of the board to set measurable objectives for achieving diversity (which, at a minimum, should address

gender diversity) and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress in achieving them. The issuer should

disclose the policy or a summary of it.

Because of the range of our operating environments as a global company, our workforce, including potential employees,

come from all walks of life. Every individual is unique, having different skills and experiences. People come from many

cultures and backgrounds, along with a wide range of other personal attributes including gender, age, culture, disability

(mental, learning, physical), economic background, language(s) spoken, marital/partnered status, race, religious beliefs

and sexual orientation. The Group has a commitment to attracting, selecting, developing and retaining the most suitable

employees from this diverse range of attributes. The Group’s Diversity Policy (including inclusiveness) is available on

the Group’s website.

Directors 33% (2) 33% (2) 67% (4) 67% (4)

Senior management 29% (5) 19% (4) 71% (12) 81% (17)

The Board and management recognise that diversity and inclusion planning leads to a balanced workforce. The Group

has in place a formal diversity plan focused on:

• Diversity and inclusion education;

• Unconscious bias understanding;

• The collection and updating of relevant demographic data;

• The review of recruitment and performance assessment processes (for gender bias in particular); and

• Policies and procedures to support equitable treatment of all existing and future employees.

During the year under review, the Group has made progress against this plan, specifically:

• Unconscious bias training completed with senior management team and development of unconscious bias training

modules for internal purposes;

• Diversity and inclusion champions identified across the Group;

• Implementation of a Human Resource Information System to support the collection of relevant demographic data,

diversity reporting as well as streamlining HR processes.

The Board has approved the 2021 work plan and are satisfied with the rate of progress to date on group wide initiatives.

From the recent 2020 engagement survey, employees describe the culture at Delegat as being inclusive.

DIRECTOR TRAINING

Recommendation 2.6: Directors should undertake appropriate training to remain current on how to best perform their

duties as directors of an issuer.

The Board expects all Directors to be members of the Institute of Directors and to undertake continuous education

to remain current on how to best perform their responsibilities and keep abreast of changes and trends in economic,

political, social, financial and legal climates and governance practices. The Board also ensures that new Directors are

appropriately introduced to management and the business, that all Directors are updated on relevant industry and

Group issues and receive copies of appropriate Group documents to enable them to perform their roles. The Board visits

each of the Group’s main operational areas by rotation annually.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202088

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED
BOARD EVALUATION

Recommendation 2.7: The board should have a procedure to regularly assess director, board and committee performance.

The Chairman of the Board leads a biannual performance review and evaluation of the performance of the Directors, the

Board as a whole, and of the Board committees against the Board and committee charters, including seeking Directors’

views relating to Board and committee process, efficiency and effectiveness. All Non-Executive Directors are expected

to participate in performance reviews, particularly prior to the re-election of a Non-Executive Director to the Board. The

findings of the performance review process are used to identify, assess and enhance Directors’ competencies and to

define characteristics or skills which should be sought in future Board candidates.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Recommendations 2.8 and 2.9: A majority of the board should be independent directors. An issuer should have an

independent chair of the board. If the chair is not independent, the chair and the CEO should be different people.

The Board currently comprises seven Directors, two of whom are deemed “independent” according to the NZX

Code. The Board recognises this divergence from the Code that for best practice a majority of board members will be

independent. With respect to Director composition and given the various operating environments of the Group and its

needs, the Board considers that the profile offered by each Director, and all Directors collectively, provides appropriate

experience, skill and diversity to meet its governance responsibilities. In looking to future board appointments, the

Board is committed to achieving compliance with the Code and will, when appropriate, propose suitable or additional

nominees. The Board is of the view that the divergence has not interfered with the Directors’ capacity to provide

independent judgements in fulfilling their responsibilities.

The Board Charter is explicit in that the Chairman and Managing Director roles are separate.

PRINCIPLE 3 – BOARD COMMITTEES

The board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas, while still retaining board

responsibility.

AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE

Recommendation 3.1: An issuer’s audit committee should operate under a written charter. Membership on the audit

committee should be majority independent and comprise solely of non-executive directors of the issuer. The chair of the

audit committee should be an independent director and not the chair of the board.

The Audit and Risk Committee operates under a written Charter, and this is available on the Group’s website. As at

30 June 2020 the Audit and Risk Committee comprised Dr Alan Jackson (Chair), Robert Wilton and Shelley Cave, the

Committee meets at least four times during the year, and more frequently if required. The Audit and Risk Committee

is responsible for the framework of internal control mechanisms that ensure proper management of the Group’s affairs.

These controls including the safeguarding of assets, maintaining proper accounting records, complying with legislation,

ensuring the reliability of financial information, and assessing and reviewing business operational risks. The committee

advises and assists the Board in discharging its responsibility with respect to financial reporting, tax planning, compliance

and risk management practices of the Group.

Recommendation 3.2: Employees should only attend audit committees at the invitation of the audit committee.

The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer attend Audit and Risk Committee meetings at the invitation of the

Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee may invite any senior management member to present on their

respective function or a particular subject matter that is relevant in the committee considering the Group’s compliance

or risk management practices. The Group’s external auditor also attends meetings at the committee’s invitation. The

Audit and Risk Committee receives feedback from the external auditor (without management present), concerning any

matters that arise in connection with the audit and performance of management’s roles.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
Recommendation 3.3: An issuer should have a remuneration committee which operates under a written charter (unless this

is carried out by the whole board). At least a majority of the remuneration committee should be independent directors.

Management should only attend remuneration committees at the invitation of the remuneration committee.

The Remuneration Committee operates under a written Charter, and this is available on the Group’s website. As at

30 June 2020 the Remuneration Committee comprised Shelley Cave (Chair), Dr Alan Jackson and Robert Wilton. The

Committee meets at least three times during the year, and more frequently if required. The Remuneration Committee

assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities with respect to the remuneration and performance of the Group

Managing Director and other senior management, remuneration of Directors, human resources policy and strategy and

succession planning. The Committee also monitors and reports on general trends and proposals concerning employment

conditions and remuneration. The Managing Director and People and Culture Manager attend Remuneration Committee

meetings at the invitation of the Remuneration Committee.

NOMINATION COMMITTEE

Recommendation 3.4: An issuer should establish a nomination committee to recommend director appointments to the

board (unless this is carried out by the whole board), which should operate under a written charter. At least a majority of

the nomination committee should be independent directors.

The Board does not operate a separate Nomination Committee as Director appointments are considered by the Board

as a whole. The Board’s procedure for the nomination and appointment of Directors is summarised under Principle 2

above (under the heading “Nomination and Appointment of Directors”).

OVERVIEW OF BOARD COMMITTEES

Recommendation 3.5: An issuer should consider whether it is appropriate to have any other board committees as standing

board committees. All committees should operate under written charters. An issuer should identify the members of each

of its committees, and periodically report member attendance.

The Board does not operate any other committees apart from the Audit and Risk Committee and the Remuneration

Committee. The Group has considered whether any other standing Board committees are appropriate and has determined

the existing committee structure is appropriate for meeting governance obligations. Each committee operates under a

charter which is available on the Group’s website. Committee members are appointed from members of the Board and

membership is reviewed on an annual basis. Any recommendation made by the committee is typically submitted to the

Board for formal approval. The Managing Director and relevant key executives are invited to attend committee meetings

as appropriate.

TAKEOVER PROTOCOLS
Recommendation 3.6: The board should establish appropriate protocols that set out the procedures to be followed if there

is a takeover offer for the issuer including any communications between insiders and the bidder. The board should disclose

the scope of independent advisory reports to shareholders. These protocols should include the option of establishing an

independent takeover committee, and the likely composition and implementation of an independent takeover committee.

Given the Group’s shareholding structure, with the largest Shareholder being the Delegat Share Protection Trust (a related

party), the Board considers the likelihood of an unanticipated takeover to be low, and so the Board, in the event of a

takeover offer, has agreed that a Takeover Response Committee would be convened comprising Independent Directors.

That committee would consider the Group’s actions in relation to the takeover offer, including seeking appropriate

legal, financial and strategic advice, complying with takeover regulation (including the appointment of an independent

advisor under the Takeovers Code and the preparation of a Target Company Statement) and determining what additional

information (if any) would be provided by the Group to the bidder.

PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE

The board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance of

corporate disclosures.

The Board is committed to timely, accurate and meaningful reporting of financial and non-financial information.

CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE

Recommendation 4.1: An issuer’s board should have a written continuous disclosure policy.

As a listed company there is an imperative for the Group to ensure the market is appropriately informed. The Group

has a Continuous Disclosure Policy, and this is available on the Group’s website. The purpose of this policy is to ensure

the Group complies with its continuous disclosure obligations by ensuring timely, accurate and complete information is

provided to all Shareholders and market participants.

CHARTERS AND POLICIES

Recommendation 4.2: An issuer should make its code of ethics, board and committee charters and the policies recommended

in the NZX Code, together with other key governance documents, available on its website.

Information about the Group’s corporate governance framework (including Code of Ethics, Board and Committee

charters, and other selected key governance codes and policies) is available to view on the Group’s website.

FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING

Recommendation 4.3: Financial reporting should be balanced, clear and objective. An issuer should provide non-financial

disclosure at least annually, including considering environmental, economic and social sustainability factors and practices.

It should explain how operational or non-financial targets are measured. Non-financial reporting should be informative,

including forward looking assessments, and align with key strategies and metrics monitored by the board.

FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Audit and Risk Committee is accountable to the Board for the recommendations of the external auditors, EY,

directing and monitoring the audit function and reviewing the adequacy and quality of the annual audit process. This

includes receiving reports on the Group’s internal information system control environment. The Committee oversees

the quality and integrity of external financial reporting including the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of financial

statements, and ensuring the financial reporting is balanced, clear and objective. It reviews annual and half year financial

statements and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the application of accounting policies and practices,

areas of judgement, compliance with accounting standards, stock exchange and legal requirements, and the results of

the external audit.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

FINANCIAL REPORTING (CONTINUED)
Management’s accountability for the Group’s financial reporting is reinforced by the written confirmation from the

Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer that, in their opinion, financial records have been properly maintained and

that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial

position and performance of the Group. Such representations are given based on a sound system of risk management and

internal control, which is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risk.

NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Group assesses its exposure to environmental, economic and social sustainability as part of the overall framework

for managing risk (see Principle 6 – Risk Management). The Group is committed to improving standards of environmental

performance to enable a more efficient and sustainable future. Accordingly, the Group follows long-standing practices

regarding management of environmental factors affecting the business, including strategies relating to water conservation,

viticulture management, sustainable winegrowing practices and wetland preservation initiatives.

The Group has been focused on the development of measurable initiatives in respect to three key areas; inclusion,

people and climate change. Each of these areas is key to supporting a value-based organisation which focuses on

harnessing the passion of people who are intent on personal achievement and growth.

In terms of global warming a continued focus has been on minimising non-essential travel (and specifically, air travel). In

viticulture, continued development to multitask the use of vineyard equipment has reduced fuel consumption relative to

the growth in production. Additional investment in new vineyard equipment has reduced the number of vehicle passes

required to complete key operational activities, further reducing fuel consumption. The education of operators in speed

and related consumption of fuel has also continued to deliver benefits.

PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION
The remuneration of directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.

DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION

Recommendation 5.1: An issuer should recommend director remuneration to shareholders for approval in a transparent

manner. Actual director remuneration should be clearly disclosed in the issuer’s annual report.

REMUNERATION – EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR

The criteria for reviewing the remuneration for Executive Directors includes, as appropriate, advice obtained from

external independent consultants, specific market comparison of roles using independent surveys, consideration of role

expectations and requirements, and level of achievement against business and personal objectives.

REMUNERATION – NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

Remuneration levels are set at competitive levels to attract and retain appropriately qualified Directors. The Group’s

policy is to pay its Directors in cash. The fees of the Non-Executive Directors are set within the aggregate amount

determined by Shareholders by a resolution. The criteria for reviewing Non-Executive Director remuneration includes

obtaining advice from external consultants as appropriate, information on Board arrangements for other corporations

of similar size and complexity, and the review of current and expected workloads (including as Chairman of the Board

Committees). The NZX Listing Rules require that the Shareholders approve the total aggregate amount payable to all

Directors as Directors’ fees. Approval was last sought in 2016, when the pool limit was set at $400,000 per annum.

Director remuneration is included in the Annual Report on page 99.

REMUNERATION POLICY

Recommendation 5.2: An issuer should have a remuneration policy for remuneration of directors and officers, which

outlines the relative weightings of remuneration components and relevant performance criteria.

The Group has adopted a Remuneration Policy which sets out the remuneration principles that apply to all Non-

Executive Directors and all employees including senior management, to ensure that remuneration practices are fair

and appropriate, and that there is a clear link between remuneration and performance. The Group is committed to

applying fair and equitable remuneration and reward practices in the workplace, taking into account internal and

external relativity, the commercial environment, the ability to achieve the Group’s business objectives and the creation

of Shareholder value. Under the Group’s remuneration practices, job size relative to the relevant competitive market

for talent, as well as individual performance against defined key performance objectives, are key considerations in all

remuneration-based decisions.

EMPLOYEE REMUNERATION

The number of employees and former employees within the Group receiving remuneration and benefits above $100,000

relating to the year ended 30 June 2020 is included in the Annual Report on page 102.

MANAGING DIRECTOR (CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER) REMUNERATION
Recommendation 5.3: An issuer should disclose the remuneration arrangements in place for the CEO in its annual report.

This should include disclosure of the base salary, short-term incentives and the performance criteria used to determine

performance based payments.

The remuneration of the Managing Director for the year ended 30 June 2020 is included in the Annual Report on

page 99.

The remuneration of the Managing Director comprises both a fixed and variable performance component. Fixed

remuneration includes a base salary, contributions to superannuation, wine and phone allowances. The Managing

Director received a variable performance incentive of $225,000 linked to Group performance and achievement

against strategic goals. The short-term incentive target was $200,000 and based on the achievement of predetermined

operational performance targets (Group EBIT) and sales volume. A maximum amount of $300,000 was payable for

outstanding performance.

SENIOR MANAGEMENT

The Group’s senior management is appointed by the Managing Director. Senior management’s sales executives’ key

performance objectives are comprised of specific Group financial objectives along with business related individual

objectives. Establishing and monitoring these key performance objectives is undertaken annually by the Managing

Director, recommending them to the Remuneration Committee, for approval. The performance of the sales executives

against these key performance objectives is evaluated annually and serves as a key determinant of any short-term

incentive scheme values and payments.

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PAYMENTS

Short-term incentive payments are at risk cash payments designed to motivate and reward for short-term (within each

financial year) performance. The target value of a short-term incentive payment is set by the Managing Director with

a specified dollar potential available to each participant in the scheme. The target areas for all employees who are

entitled to a short-term incentive payment are set based on a combination of Group financial performance and specific

sales targets relative to the employee’s area of responsibility and individual goals. The weightings applied to each of the

target areas will be generally consistent throughout the Group for roles entitled to a short-term incentive payment, but

may vary depending on specific areas of focus as determined by the Managing Director. The Remuneration Committee

approves senior management short-term incentive payments and the Managing Director approves the short-term

incentive payments to be made to sales employees at the end of the financial year and approves the sales employee’s

targets for the following year.

PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT

Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage them. The

board should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and material

risks.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Recommendation 6.1: An issuer should have a risk management framework for its business and the issuer’s board should

receive and review regular reports. An issuer should report the material risks facing the business and how these are being

managed.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202094

RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Risk management is an acknowledged important factor in corporate governance. The Board is responsible for the

Group’s risk assessment, management and internal control and considers it has carried out a robust risk assessment

process. The Board has identified a number of risks in the Group’s operations that are commonly faced by other entities

in the industry in which the Group operates. The Board and management of the Group considers they have taken all

reasonable steps to manage and mitigate these risks.

In viticulture the issues of weather, disease and pest control are an ongoing management activity. Viticultural techniques

are in place and in practice which the Board and management considers effectively mitigate this risk.

Brand reputation and brand security are identified risks that are the subject of ongoing surveillance, and techniques and

practices are in place which the Board and management considers mitigate this risk effectively.

Supply chain risk is monitored, and the Group has identified a range of suppliers operating in different jurisdictions to

mitigate the risk of the loss of a single supplier.

Technology risk, particularly in relation to hacking or illegal access to systems, is managed through a dedicated

information technology department, along with external consultants which the Board and management consider

mitigate this risk effectively.

The Managing Director, together with senior management, meets regularly on risk assessment affecting the business and

maintain a risk matrix which is used to monitor and mitigate these risks. A risk matrix measures the impact of the risk and

likelihood of occurrence and is provided to the Audit and Risk Committee and Board annually. The Group maintains

insurance policies that it considers adequate to meet insurable risks.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Recommendation 6.2: An issuer should disclose how it manages its health and safety risks and should report on its health

and safety risks, performance and management.

The Board has responsibility for ensuring the Group maintains a health and safety management system that meets best

practice standards to protect the health and safety of employees and contractors engaged by the Group. A Workplace

Health and Safety Report, which covers Group performance across a range of measures of Health and Safety, is presented

to and reviewed by the Board at each Board meeting. The Board and senior management are appraised of all notifiable

incidents and injuries and the actions taken to ensure the health and wellbeing of injured persons. Actions taken to

prevent incident reoccurrence are also advised.

The People and Culture Manager and specialist team members in the People and Culture function assist the Board in

meeting its responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, as well as other regulations and policies.

Management operates and assesses the effectiveness of risk assessment and mitigation, safety processes and systems,

capability of staff and the general culture of the business in relation to safety.

The Group has implemented a Health and Safety Risk Matrix to identify specific hazards and risks, assess their severity

of impact and likelihood of occurrence, document mitigation strategies and determine the level of residual risk. This

matrix is reviewed at least annually by the Board, and annual Health and Safety objectives and key performance

indicators are set for the business based on the significant risks identified.

PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS
The board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.

EXTERNAL AUDIT

Recommendations 7.1 and 7.2: The board should establish a framework for the issuer’s relationship with its external

auditors. This should include procedures prescribed in the NZX Code. The external auditor should attend the issuer’s

annual shareholders meeting to answer questions from shareholders in relation to the audit.

The Board has adopted a policy in relation to the provision of the non-audit services by the Group’s external auditor

to ensure the independence of the external auditor. This is based on the principle that work that may detract from the

external auditor’s independence and impartiality (or that may be perceived as doing so) should not be carried out by

the external auditors.

The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for the oversight of the Group’s external audit arrangements. These

arrangements include procedures for the matters described in Recommendation 7.1 of the NZX Code.

The Audit and Risk Committee is committed to ensuring the Group’s external auditor is able to carry out its work

independently so that financial reporting is reliable and credible. The Audit and Risk Committee monitors the nature

and extent of other services provided by the external auditor, and the ratio of audit fees to non-audit fees, to ensure that

those services are complementary to the external audit and compatible with maintaining external audit independence.

The Group’s external auditor is Ernst & Young (EY). Total fees paid to EY in its capacity as auditor are included in the

Annual Report on page 56.

The Group invites EY to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the lead audit partner is available to answer

Shareholder questions about the conduct of their audit and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report.

INTERNAL AUDIT

Recommendation 7.3: Internal audit functions should be disclosed.

The Group does not have an internal audit function. Procedures have been established at Board and executive

management levels that are designed to safeguard the assets and interests of the Group and ensure the integrity of

reporting. These include accounting, financial reporting and internal control policies and procedures. The Board

acknowledges that it is responsible for the overall internal control framework but recognises that no cost-effective

internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. To assist in discharging this responsibility, the Board has

instigated an internal control framework as follows:

• Financial reporting – there is a comprehensive budgeting system with an annual budget approved by the Board.

Monthly actual results are reported against budget and revised forecasts for the year are prepared regularly. The

consolidated entity reports to Shareholders half-yearly. Procedures are also in place to ensure that price-sensitive

information is reported to the NZX in accordance with continuous disclosure obligations.

• Operating unit controls – financial controls and standard operating procedures, including information system

controls, are in operation throughout the consolidated entity.

• Investment appraisal – the consolidated entity has clear guidelines for capital expenditure. These include annual

budgets, as well as detailed appraisal and review procedures.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202096

PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RELATIONS
The board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships with shareholders that

encourage them to engage with the issuer.

INFORMATION FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS

Recommendation 8.1: An issuer should have a website where investors and interested stakeholders can assess financial and

operational information and key corporate governance information about the issuer.

The Group is committed to an open and transparent relationship with Shareholders. The Board aims to ensure that all

Shareholders are provided with all information necessary to assess the Group’s direction and performance.

This is undertaken through a range of communication methods, including periodic and continuous disclosures to the

NZX, half-year and annual reports, and the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. The Group’s website provides financial and

operational information, details about its Directors and copies of its governance documents, for investors and interested

stakeholders to access at any time.

COMMUNICATING WITH SHAREHOLDERS

Recommendation 8.2: An issuer should allow investors the ability to easily communicate with the issuer, including providing

the option to receive communications from the issuer electronically.

Shareholders have the option of receiving their communications electronically, including by email or through the Group’s

website, and the Board has always been committed to having an open dialogue with Shareholders and welcomes

investor enquiries.

SHAREHOLDER VOTING RIGHTS

Recommendations 8.3 and 8.4: Quoted equity security holders should have the right to vote on major decisions which may

change the nature of the issuer in which they are invested. If seeking additional equity capital, issuers of quoted equity

securities should offer further equity security holders of the same class on a pro rata basis, and on no less favourable terms,

before further equity securities are offered to other investors.

In accordance with the Companies Act 1993, the Group’s Constitution and the NZX Listing Rules, the Group refers any

significant matters to Shareholders for approval at a Shareholders’ Meeting. Where Shareholder votes are conducted by

poll, each Shareholder is entitled to one vote per share.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING

Recommendation 8.5: The board should ensure that the notices of annual or special meetings of quoted equity security

holders is posted on the issuer’s website as soon as possible and at least 20 working days prior to the meeting.

The Group posts any Notices of Shareholders’ Meetings on its website as soon as these are available. The general

practice is to make these available not less than four weeks prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting.
