Strong Rip Curl performance underpinned 1H Group result
• Rip Curl achieved strong sales and profits, despite COVID-19 impacts in key global

innovation strategy and diversification of customer base
• Step change in Group online penetration reflecting improved digital capabilities and
changing consumer preferences
• Robust balance sheet with low net debt, and clean inventory position
• Dividend resumes, with NZ 2.0 cents per share interim dividend
Kathmandu Holdings Limited (ASX/NZX: KMD) is pleased to announce its results for the six months
ended 31 January 2021 (1H FY21).
1H FY21 key highlights (vs 1H FY20):
• Sales up 12.9% to $410.7 million, including a full six month contribution from Rip Curl
• Step change in Group online penetration, with online representing 12.7% of direct to consumer
(DTC) sales (1H FY20: 8.8%)
• Underlying EBITDA up 19.0% to $48.2 million (excluding the impact of IFRS 16 and one-off
transaction and abnormal costs)
• Statutory NPAT of $22.3 million
• Underlying NPAT up 32.8% to $23.1 million (excluding the impact of IFRS 16 and one-off
transaction and abnormal costs)
• Robust balance sheet, with $10.1 million net debt, reflecting working capital management
strategies
• Resumption of dividends, with NZ 2.0 cents per share interim dividend declared (fully franked
for Australian shareholders, and not imputed for New Zealand shareholders)
Commenting on the 1H FY21 results, Group CEO Xavier Simonet said: “Despite operating in
challenging conditions over the first half due to the substantial impacts from COVID-19, Rip Curl
delivered an outstanding first half result, validating the Group’s diversification strategy.”
“Benefiting from increased participation in surfing in Australia, Europe and the USA, Rip Curl
achieved strong sales and profits despite COVID-19 trading restrictions, reflecting the brand’s
technical product focus and strong consumer engagement. Pleasingly, Rip Curl’s wholesale order
book is back above pre-COVID-19 levels.”
“Kathmandu was particularly impacted by COVID-19 related travel restrictions, with reduced
demand for insulation and rainwear resulting from a lack of international travellers to the Northern
Hemisphere.”
“Over the first half, we implemented a rapid response to changes in consumer preference resulting
from COVID-19. To respond to increased participation in local travel and adventure, our brands

adjusted their focus to product categories in high demand, such as wetsuits and surfboards for Rip
Curl, and camping and footwear for Kathmandu. Omni-channel capability allowed our brands to
capture record demand for the online channel, with online penetration now making up almost 13% of
the Group’s direct to consumer sales.”

EBIT 44.0 16.1 173.9%
Despite the impacts from COVID-19, Rip Curl contributed $48.7 million to Group underlying EBITDA
during 1H FY21, delivering a gross margin 40 bps (0.4%) higher than the comparable six month
period last year, as a result of a higher mix of DTC sales.
Total global sales were 4.3% below the comparable six month period last year, including three
months of sales pre-Kathmandu ownership. COVID-19 restrictions continued to impact the sales
performance of Rip Curl stores in airports, Melbourne, Hawaii, Bali and parts of Europe. The
wholesale sell-in period was disrupted during the global lockdowns in April and May 2020, for
deliveries in October to December 2020.
Sales growth was achieved in key markets of Australia, USA and Europe, despite COVID-19 trading
restrictions, highlighting the strength of the Rip Curl brand and product range in core surf
geographies around the world. In addition, wholesale order books are back above pre-COVID-19
levels.

Multiple headwinds affected Kathmandu’s performance over 1H FY21, with 27 Greater Melbourne
stores closed for over 11 weeks, and 14 Auckland stores closed for two weeks. Kathmandu was
also impacted by low footfall in shopping centres, CBD stores, and tourist locations. While there was
strong demand for camping products, there was reduced demand for insulation and rainwear due to
a lack of international travellers to the Northern Hemisphere. Same store sales

Kathmandu’s gross margin of 64.2% was slightly above 1H FY20 (64.0%). Operating expenses

Oboz delivered sales growth of 3.8%, underpinned by a focus on product innovation. Gross margin
was impacted by significant one-off air freight costs of US$1.1 million.
The forward order book is well above pre-COVID-19 levels, and Oboz will be launching a direct to
consumer online store imminently, to drive further sales growth.
Resumption of dividends
Reflecting the Group’s robust balance sheet, the Directors have resolved to resume payment of
dividends, and have declared an interim dividend of NZ 2.0 cents per share, fully franked for
Australian based shareholders, and not imputed for New Zealand shareholders. The record date for
this dividend is 21 May 2021, and the payment date is 4 June 2021.

Sustainability
Commenting on the Group’s sustainability initiatives, Mr Simonet said: “We’ve made carbon
neutrality a priority, because the planet comes first. During the first half, the Kathmandu brand
reached its goal of being carbon neutral. Achieving this milestone four years ahead of schedule is
something we are very proud of.”
Outlook
Commenting on the outlook for the Group, Mr Simonet said:
“Whilst navigating the ongoing impacts from COVID-19, our long-term strategy remains unchanged.
During the second half we are focused on the strong execution of Kathmandu’s winter season in
Australasia. We will also see the benefits from synergies and cost-out initiatives across the Group,
which we expect to deliver around $15 million of annual savings in FY21.”
“We have a number of key initiatives planned for the second half to further connect with our
customers to drive increased sales. We will begin implementing a loyalty program at Rip Curl, and
Oboz is launching a direct to consumer online store. Kathmandu continues to invest in
personalisation and data analytics capability, all with the aim of driving best in class customer
interactions.”
“Our brands remain well positioned to capitalise on consumer trends that have seen increased
participation in surfing, camping and hiking. Kathmandu enters the traditionally strong winter season
well prepared. Oboz investment in new product sees it enter the second half with an order book well
above pre-COVID-19 levels. Rip Curl continues to trade in line with the strong first half trends, and
wholesale order books are above pre-COVID-19 levels.”

Kathmandu Holdings Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together the Group) is a designer, marketer, retailer and
wholesaler of apparel, footwear and equipment for surfing and the outdoors. It operates in New Zealand, Australia, North
America, Europe, South East Asia, and Brazil.
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. Kathmandu Holdings Limited is a
company registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is an FMC reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013. The address of its registered office is 223 Tuam Street, Christchurch.
These consolidated interim financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 23 March 2021,
and have been reviewed, not audited.
Seasonality – due to the seasonal nature of the Company and its controlled entities’ activities, the activities in the second half
of the year historically provide a larger portion of the sales and net profit for the full year.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These general-purpose financial statements for the six months ended 31 January 2021 have been prepared in accordance with
NZ IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. In complying with NZ IAS 34, these consolidated interim financial statements also
comply with IAS 34.
These consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial
report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Kathmandu Holdings
Limited for the year ended 31 July 2020 which have been prepared in accordance with the New Zealand equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The Group is designated as a profit-oriented entity for financial reporting purposes.
3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Other than the earnings per share and segment restatement noted below, the consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as those used in the audited financial
statements of Kathmandu Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 July 2020.
The Group has restated the basic and diluted EPS for the prior period ending 31 January 2020 to reflect the impact of the
implied bonus element on shares issued during the year. In April 2020 shares were issued as result of an institutional and retail
entitlement offer and share placement at an issue price of NZ$0.50, representing a 51.0% discount to the NZ$1.02 NZX closing
price on 30 March 2020, and a 30.6% discount to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of NZ$0.72.
The Group has now finalised the Rip Curl purchase price allocation as disclosed in note 16. As a result of finalising the
purchase price allocation the statement of comprehensive income for the period ending 31 January 2020 has been revised as
follows:
-Selling expenses decreased by $8.2 million
-Administration and general expenses increased by $9.3 million
-Depreciation and amortisation increased by $0.1 million
-Finance expenses decreased by $0.4 million
-Income tax benefit decreased by $0.2 million
The adjustments primarily relate to the following:
a)Finalisation of Rip Curl lease accounting which included assessing all leases for completeness, assessing fair value of
certain leases at acquisition date, assessment of future rights of renewal in accordance with Group policy and the
application of country specific discount rates. In addition, we identified a reclassification of $9.4 million, reducing
selling expenses and increasing administration expenses by the same amount for the period ended 31 January 2020.
This restatement has been made to correct the previously reported allocation of leases on a lease-by-lease basis in
the Rip Curl Group for the period ended 31 January 2020. This change had no impact on total operating expenses.
The classification was correct at 31 July 2020.
b)Finalisation of the fair value ascribed to fixed assets and definite life intangible assets and the associated depreciation
and amortisation.
The adjustments above are the cumulative impact of all adjustments to the acquired balance sheet reported at 31 January
2020. The net profit after tax for the period ended 31 January 2020 is $0.6 million lower than previously reported.
The Group has also restated the January 2020 segment disclosure in note 7 to reflect the changes identified above as a result
of the finalised purchase price allocation.

4 IMPACT OF COVID-19
COVID-19 continues to have an impact on the Group, with local and global restrictions on movement, travel and gatherings
resulting in a significant reduction in footfall. Stores across our network continue to open and close based on government
mandated lockdowns and closures.
As outlined in the 2020 Annual Report, there continues to be uncertainties due to the COVID-19 pandemic that affects the
Group’s key estimates and judgements, including:
Intangible assets and goodwill – the ability to achieve future forecasts and the consequential impact on the carrying value of
goodwill and other finite life intangibles. The Group have considered whether there are any events or changes in circumstances
since 31 July 2020 and the signing of the 2020 consolidated financial statements that may be an impairment indicator as at 31
January 2021.
Factors considered include:
- The trading performance of each cash generating unit (CGU) for the period has exceeded the impairment models
prepared at 31 July 2020;
- The trading performance of each CGU is expected to exceed our impairment models prepared at 31 July 2020 for the
full year; and
- The Group market capitalisation remains above the net assets of the Group at 31 January 2021, this is further
supported by an increase in the share price since year end.
Having considered the above factors the Group is comfortable that there are no material adverse events or changes in
circumstances that would require impairment testing to be performed at 31 January 2021.
Trade receivables – the ability of wholesale customers to pay. The Group continues to actively monitor payment collection
rates and the level of provisions across the Group. The receivable ageing continues to improve and as a result the expected
credit loss has been adjusted (refer note 8).
Despite the continuing impact of COVID-19, the Directors are satisfied that there will be adequate cash flows generated from
operating and financing activities to meet the obligations of the Group for a period of at least 12 months from the date of
approving the consolidated interim financial statements. The Group was fully compliant with all banking covenants during the
period and, based on the current cash flow forecasts, the Group expects to remain compliant with all covenants for at least 12
months from the date of approving the consolidated interim financial statements.
Taking into consideration the current trading results, the net debt of $10 million and liquidity of $375 million at 31 January 2021
(refer note 11), the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.

7 SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
The Group has three operating segments.
Outdoor includes the Kathmandu and Oboz brands. This segment designs, markets, retails and wholesales apparel, footwear
and equipment for outdoor travel and adventure.
Surf includes the Rip Curl brand. For the period ended 31 January 2020 only three months of trading is included in the Surf
segment, compared to a full six months in the current period. This segment designs, manufactures, wholesales and retails
surfing equipment and apparel.
The Corporate segment represents group costs, holding companies and consolidation eliminations and constitutes other
business activities that do not fall within outdoor or surf segments.
These operating segments have been determined based on the reports reviewed by the Group Chief Executive Officer and
Group Executive Management team.
EBITDA represents earnings before income taxes (a non-GAAP measure), excluding interest income, interest expense,
depreciation, and amortisation, as reported in the financial statements. EBIT represents EBITDA less depreciation and
amortisation.
Costs recharged between Group companies are calculated on an arms-length basis. The default basis of allocation is
percentage of revenue with other bases being used where appropriate.

Group Facility Agreement
The Group has a multi-option syndicated facility agreement, with a term loan facility of A$220 million, a revolving cash
advances facility of NZ$58 million and A$37 million, a trade finance sub-facility of A$30 million and NZ$10 million, and
instruments sub-facility of A$20 million. All facilities are repayable in full on 30 November 2022.
Interest is payable based on the BKBM rate (NZD borrowings), the BBSY rate (AUD borrowings), or the applicable short-term
rate for interest periods less than 30 days, plus a margin of up to 1.05%. The debt is secured by the assets of the guaranteeing
group in accordance with the Security Trust Deed dated 25 October 2019.
The covenants entered into by the Group require specified calculations of Group earnings (excluding one-off transaction costs)
before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) plus lease rental costs to exceed total fixed charges (net interest
expense and lease rental costs) at the end of each half during the financial year. Similarly, EBITDA (excluding one-off
transaction costs) must be no less than a specified proportion of total net debt at the end of each six-month interim period. The
calculations of these covenants are specified in the bank facility agreement of 25 October 2019. The Group has obtained a
waiver from its banking syndicate of the current covenants until the 31 July 2021 measurement point; however, the Group has
continued to comply with all covenants at each measurement point since the waiver was obtained.
The current interest rate, prior to hedging, on the term loans is at 0.96% (2020: ranged from 1.89% - 2.30%).
Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans
As part of the US government response to COVID-19 the Group’s US resident companies applied for Paycheck Protection
Program (PPP) loans of US $2,814,000 in the year ended 31 July 2020. The Group believes that these entities met the criteria
to qualify for the loans at the date of the application. The eligibility is subject to a possible audit by the federal government at
which time the entities may be deemed not to be eligible. In the event of an unfavourable outcome of the forgiveness
application the Group would be required to repay the PPP loan as well as 1% interest on that loan from the period it was
received until the date it was repaid.
The PPP loan was initially recognised as a loan and once various criteria are met the Group can apply for forgiveness of that
loan. During the period, the Group applied for and received forgiveness of the PPP loan for one of the US resident entities and
consequently a $684,000 gain was recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the current period.
The Group believes that the remaining US resident entity also meets the criteria to qualify for future forgiveness. At 31 January
2020 the remaining PPP loan balance was $3,272,000 (2020: $4,201,000) and forgiveness has not yet been applied for nor
granted at this date.
12 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit
risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and
seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial
instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to manage certain risk exposures. Derivatives are
exclusively used for economic hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments, however not all derivative
financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting.
Risk management is carried out based on policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Group treasury policy provides
written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk.
KATHMANDU HOLDINGS LIMITED - INTERIM REPORT 2021
14
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group manages this
risk by actively managing working capital and ensuring flexibility in funding arrangements. Refer to note 11 for details of the
funding arrangements in place as at 31 January 2021. Also refer to note 4 for the liquidity risk in relation to the impact of
COVID-19.
The consolidated interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required
in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as at 31
July 2020. There have been no changes in the risk management department or in any risk.
(b) Fair value estimation
The only financial instruments held by the Group that are measured at fair value are over-the-counter derivatives. These
derivatives have all been determined to be within level 2 (for the purposes of NZ IFRS 13) of the fair value hierarchy as all
significant inputs required to ascertain the fair value of these derivatives are observable.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values for each class of financial instrument.
Trade debtors, trade creditors and bank balances
The carrying value of these items is equivalent to their fair value.
Term liabilities
The fair value of the Group's term liabilities is approximately carrying value.
Foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps
The forward foreign exchange contracts have been fair valued using forward exchange rates that are quoted in an active
market. Interest rate swaps are fair valued using forward interest rates extracted from observable yield curves. The effects of
discounting are insignificant for these derivatives.
Guarantees and overdraft facilities
The fair value of these instruments is estimated on the basis that management do not expect settlement at face value to arise.
The carrying value and fair value of these instruments is approximately nil. All guarantees are repayable on demand.
The following table presents the Group’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at balance date:

14 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Group is subject to litigation incidental to its business, none of which is expected to be material. No provision has been
made in the Group’s consolidated interim financial statements in relation to any current litigation and the Directors believe that
such litigation will not have a material effect on the Group’s consolidated interim financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
15 CONTINGENT ASSETS
There are no contingent assets as at 31 January 2021 (2020: nil).
16 ACQUISITION OF RIP CURL GROUP PTY LTD
On 31 October 2019 Kathmandu Holdings Limited through its wholly owned subsidiary Barrel Wave Holdings Pty Limited
acquired 100% of the equity interests in Rip Curl Group Pty Limited and its controlled entities based out of Australia. The total
purchase price was A$350,000,000. The non-controlling interest on acquisition relates to the interest acquired by the Group in
Rip Curl joint ventures in New Zealand, Thailand, and Europe.
Rip Curl is a designer, manufacturer and retailer of surfing equipment and apparel, and has a global presence across Australia,
New Zealand, North America, Europe, South East Asia, and Brazil. The acquisition creates a global outdoor and action sports
company anchored by two iconic Australian brands and provides the opportunity for Kathmandu to considerably diversify its
geographic footprint, channels to market and seasonality profile.
The acquisition accounting fair value adjustments were on a provisional basis in the Group’s 31 January 2020 consolidated
interim financial statements and 31 July 2020 consolidated financial statements. The acquisition accounting adjustments have
now been finalised and updated to reflect independent valuations performed on the net assets recognised on acquisition.
As a result, the following adjustments have been recognised in the finalised purchase price allocation; an increase in other
current assets of $2,803,000, a decrease in property, plant, and equipment of $2,253,000, an increase in the right of use asset
and lease liability of $1,161,000, an increase in trade and other payables of $6,158,000 and a corresponding increase in
goodwill $5,608,000.
The comparatives presented in these financial statements reflect these changes and the resultant cumulative impact as at 31
July 2020 is $11,000.

To the shareholders of Kathmandu Holdings Limited
Report on the consolidated interim financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements of Kathmandu Holdings Limited (the
Company) and its controlled entities (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at
31 January 2021, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated
statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period
ended on that date, and significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
accompanying consolidated interim financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 January 2021, and its financial
performance and cash flows for the six month period then ended, in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to
International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting(NZ IAS 34).
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements
2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity
(NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibility is further described in the
review of the financial statementssection of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New
Zealand relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements. In addition to our role as auditor, our
firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of store turnover certificates, a covenant
compliance audit, tax compliance and advisory services. The provision of these other services has
not impaired our independence.
responsibility for the financial statements
The of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair
presentation of these consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS
34 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and
fair presentation of consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated interim financial statements based on
our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our
attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial statements, taken as a
whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34. A review of
consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited
assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures.
PwC 2
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit
conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and International Standards on
Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might
identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these consolidated interim
financial statements.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the Co shareholders as a body. Our review work has been
undertaken so that we might state to the Companyshareholders those matters which we are
required to state to them in our review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted
by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the shareholders, as a body,
for our review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.
