On behalf of the Board of Directors of Delegat Group Limited,
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.

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:

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.

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.

At 30 June 2020, had the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) moved as illustrated in the following table with all other variables

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.

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

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.

Included in the table above are financial guarantees which are valued at their highest possible amount that can be called
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
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts – 1,635 – 1,635
– 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.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

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.

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:
a) Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts and Options

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
