CONTENTS
1
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 2021, which has been a challenging but successful year for the Group. The
results achieved in 2021 are testament to the strength of Delegat Group’s business model.
PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
• Global Case Sales of 3,178,000.
• Record Operating NPAT of $65.5 million, up 8%.
• Record Operating EBITDA of $122.9 million, up 5%.
• Strong Cash from Operations of $74.7 million.
• Operating Return of Capital Employed of 13.8%.
The Group presents its financial statements in accordance with the New Zealand equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS).
To provide further insight into the Group’s underlying operational performance, the Group has also
included in this report an Operating Performance Report. This Operating Performance Report
excludes the impact of fair value adjustments required under NZ IFRS for grapes and derivative
instruments. As a fully integrated winemaking and sales operation, Operating 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 results achieved
in 2021 are testament to
the strength of Delegat
Group’s business model.”

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 $65.5 million was generated compared to $60.7 million
*
in the previous
12 months. Operating EBIT of $99.9 million is $4.8 million higher than last year. Operating Expenses
(before NZ IFRS adjustments) at $51.0 million are $5.1 million lower than last year.
Delegat achieved Operating Revenue of $302.7 million on global case sales of 3,178,000 in the year.
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 Acting 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.
* The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 have been restated for growing costs under NZ IAS 41: Agriculture. Refer to Note 1 of the financial statements.
EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT DELEGAT ANNUAL REPORT 2021

• 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 2021, the market value of the Company grapes exceeded the costs incurred by $9.2 million
(2020 Restated*: $18.1 million). This write-up is lower than last year due to a lower-yielding 2021
vintage. This write-up, less the impact of prior years’ vintages being sold has resulted in a net
write-down of $7.3 million for the year (2020 Restated*: write-up of $1.2 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 $2.7 million (2020: write-up of $1.3 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 $nil (2020: $2.9 million).
The above adjustments, net of taxation, amount to a write-down of $3.3 million for the year (2020
Restated*: write-up of $4.7 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 2021 is reconciled to Operating Profit as detailed in table 4.
CASH FLOW
The Group generated Cash Flows from Operations of $74.7 million in the current year, which is
a decrease of $9.6 million or 11% on the previous year. This decrease is due to higher payments
to suppliers and employees and higher net income tax paid. A total of $62.2 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 drawdown of $3.2 million was made during the year, increasing borrowings.
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 2021 amounted to $249.1 million, an increase of 4% compared to
last year and remains 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 an increase in dividends this year. Accordingly, the Directors are pleased to advise they
have approved a fully imputed dividend payout of 20.0 cents per share. The dividend will be paid on
8 October 2021 to Shareholders on record at 24 September 2021.
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.
2. n/m means not meaningful.

INVESTING FOR GROWTH
Delegat Group continues to invest to support our strategic goal of building a leading global Super
Premium wine company. During the year under review $61.7 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.
The Group plans to invest an additional $29.7 million in 2022 to provide earnings growth in the years
ahead. This capital investment supports the Group’s plan to grow sales to 3,976,000 cases by 2024
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 to deliver success in
a challenging year. The workload and operating environment endured this year have asked a great
deal of our teams around the world and they have responded magnificently. Our people have built a
unique culture founded on our values of aim high, mastery and winning together. The commitment
and talent of our global team underpins our success and positions the Group well to deliver on its
substantial growth plans.

DELEGAT ANNUAL REPORT 2021 EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
6
Our global team demonstrated great resilience and resolve in the 2021 financial year delivering
record Operating Net Profit after tax of $65.5 million in a year impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic
and associated global supply chain disruption. We are very proud and appreciative of the way
our people brought to life our core value of Winning Together, in what can only be described as a
challenging year.
GLOBAL SALES PERFORMANCE
The Group achieved global case sales of 3,178,000 cases which was 3% lower than the previous year.
The decline in sales was primarily due to the impact of ongoing global port congestion compounded
by constrained shipping line capacity on all major trade lanes.
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, related lockdowns and social distancing requirements have limited
field sales activities and significantly reduced sales in on premise channels. Despite this our in-
market sales teams have engaged productively with customers and distributors throughout the
year. In this environment, consumers have gravitated to established brands that they know and
trust, and Oyster Bay has continued to flourish as a leading Super Premium wine brand.
The Group’s sales continue to be well diversified by market with 47% in North America, 34% in United
Kingdom, Ireland and Europe, and 19% in the Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific region.
The Group continues to invest in the development of dedicated in-market sales teams to support
substantial future sales growth. The Group has in-market sales teams in New Zealand, Australia,
the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and China. This unique infrastructure of in-market
sales offices delivers the Group high quality distribution, enduring business relationships, market
knowledge and focus.

NORTH AMERICA
Sales in North America grew by 3% to a record 1,487,000 cases, albeit sales volumes were
constrained by port congestion and reduced shipping line capacity.
The United States remains one of the world’s most attractive wine markets, demonstrating
sustained premium category growth and strong demand for imported wines including Marlborough
Sauvignon Blanc. This makes it a major growth market opportunity for the Group.
The Oyster Bay brand continued to achieve strong distribution and rate of sale per point of
distribution across the country. Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a top 5 white wine over US$10 by
value.
1
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.
In Canada, a strong base of distribution has been established in each of the major provinces.
Oyster Bay has grown to become one of the leading Super Premium wine brands in the market, with
success being achieved across the range, including number two Chardonnay and top ten Pinot Noir
in Canada above C$14.
2
UNITED KINGDOM, IRELAND AND EUROPE
Sales in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe region were 1,074,000 cases, 2% lower than the
prior year, largely due to supply chain constraints.
Oyster Bay has maintained its Super Premium category leadership position in the United Kingdom,
with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Merlot continuing to be the top selling wines above £8
in their individual varietal categories irrespective of origin.
3
Barossa Valley Estate sales were
adversely affected by the impact of lockdowns and social distancing requirements on customers in
the hospitality sector.
In Ireland, Oyster Bay continues to achieve success as a leading Super Premium wine brand. Oyster
Bay Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinot Noir remain the top-selling wines in their respective varietal
categories above €9.

AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND ASIA PACIFIC
In the established New Zealand and Australia markets Oyster Bay is a category-leading Super
Premium wine brand. The Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific region achieved sales of 618,000
cases, 16% lower than in the previous year as the Group focused on optimising long-term value
growth in preference to short-term volume growth, whilst sales in Australia were also impacted by
port congestion and reduced shipping line capacity.
In Australia, Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc continues to lead the category as the top-selling Sauvignon
Blanc and bottled white wine by value, Oyster Bay Chardonnay remains the top-selling Chardonnay
above A$13 and Oyster Bay Pinot Gris has become a top three product in its varietal category above
A$13.
5
During the year, the Group again experienced strong growth in China. While China is currently
a relatively small emerging market for the Group, it continues to represent a valuable 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. The Group is investing in marketing programmes designed to grow consumer
awareness and affinity, supporting distribution and rate of sale growth per point of distribution. The
Group uses a mix of media channels, both online and offline to attract and engage the premium wine
consumers and build its brands. The Group also works closely with its retail partners to develop
highly effective in-store activations that support rate of sale growth and nurture long-term brand
affinity.
In recognition of its market performance and reputation, Oyster Bay continues to be recognised as
a Blue Chip Brand by New York’s IMPACT Magazine, a status reserved only for brands of substantial
size and sustained growth over many years. Oyster Bay was also recognised by IMPACT Magazine
as a ‘Hot Brand’ for the eleventh consecutive year.
Last year Oyster Bay
engaged with over
58 million wine lovers
across the globe.

2021 HARVEST
The 2021 harvest delivered exceptional quality fruit across all three of our wine regions.
The Group harvest of 37,470 tonnes was 2% lower than the prior vintage and lower than forecast due
to unseasonal cool spring weather during flowering in both Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay.
The vintage outcome will deliver excellent quality wines and the Group has appropriate inventories
to achieve the 2022 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.
Over the coming year the Group will undertake further work on the Group’s Climate Change strategy
and response, using the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosure framework, which covers
governance, strategy, risk management, metrics and targets. The Group is also undertaking a
project to measure emissions generated from operations in order to develop plans to minimise the
emissions footprint of the business.
GROUP OUTLOOK
The Group continues to operate in an environment of elevated uncertainty arising from the ongoing
global pandemic and global supply chain disruption. Performance over the last year is testament
to the strength and resilience of the Group’s business model in this environment. The Board is
confident in the Group’s ability to prosper and drive sustainable sales and earnings growth over the
long term. Accordingly, the Group continues to invest in its assets, brands and people in line with
our strategic goal to build a leading global Super Premium wine company.
Delegat plans to grow sales by 25% to 3,976,000 cases over the next three years. The primary driver
of planned growth is Oyster Bay sales in North America.
With respect to the 2022 year, Delegat plans to grow sales by 8% to 3,419,000 cases and forecasts
Operating Net Profit after Tax to be in the range of $57 to $61 million. The forecast Operating Net
Profit After Tax is lower than this year’s result due to the impact of the lower yielding 2021 vintage
and higher grape prices resulting in an increased cost of goods per case, unfavourable exchange
rate movements, higher freight costs and the recurrence of operating expenses suspended due to
Covid-19 restrictions. The Group will continue to closely monitor and manage the potential impact
of ongoing supply chain disruption including port congestion and shipping line capacity constraints,
noting that these factors present some risk to the achievement of forecast case sales in 2022.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202120
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 2021 were
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 27 August 2021.
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.
S TATE M E NT O F C O M PLI A N C E
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 2021 and
comparative as at 30 June 2020.
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 2021
21
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether
equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares
issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Where equity instruments are issued in a business
combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price at the date of the exchange, unless, in
rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable measure
of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly within equity.
Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which are measured at fair value
less costs to sell), all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business
combination are measured initially at their fair values as at acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-
controlling interests. The excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the Group’s share
of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the Group’s
share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the
statement of financial performance, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net
assets acquired.
Where settlement of any part of the consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to
the present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being
the rate at which similar borrowings could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and
conditions.
GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)
The statement of financial performance, statement of other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity
and statement of cash flows have been prepared so that all components are stated net of GST. All items in the
statement of financial position are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables and payables, which include
GST invoiced.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
a) Functional and Presentation Currency
The presentation currency of the Group is the New Zealand Dollar. Each subsidiary company in the Group determines
its own functional currency and uses that functional currency for its individual financial statements. Subsidiary
companies with a different functional currency than that of the Group are translated through converting all reported
assets and liabilities at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet, while income and expenses are translated
at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Any resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate
component of equity.
b) Transactions and Balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates
ruling at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the
rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand, and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and
which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash
and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Bank overdrafts are included within interest-bearing loans and borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of
financial position.

NET DEBT
Net debt is the sum of the Group’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Other accounting policies that are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout
the notes to the financial statements.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
In applying the Group’s accounting policies, management continually evaluates the judgements, estimates and
assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an
impact upon the Group. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based upon
the most current set of circumstances available to management. The actual results may differ from the judgements,
estimates and assumptions used. The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management in
the preparation of these financial statements are disclosed within the specific financial statement notes as shown
below:

To allow the Accounting Policies and Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions to be easily
identified within the notes, Accounting Policies have been identified with an
symbol, and Significant Accounting
Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions with an

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, with the exception of
growing costs as detailed below.
Growing Costs
An adjustment has been made to restate the 2020 comparatives to align the accounting treatment for growing costs.
Previously a distinction was made between where the Group maintains beneficial ownership in bearer plants and
where the Group is not the beneficial owner of bearer plants. All vineyard costs that are incurred subsequent to
harvest up to balance sheet date are now treated consistently and are carried forward in the Statement of Financial
Position and included in the subsequent year’s fair value adjustment at point of harvest.

Retained earnings as at 1 July 2019 increased by $4,621,000.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended, but are not yet effective, have not been
adopted by the Group for the annual report period ending 30 June 2021.
The Group is in the process of assessing the accounting for upfront configuration and customisation costs incurred
in system implementations, and the on-going costs of Software as a Service (SaaS) arrangements, in response to
the agenda decisions published by the IFRIC clarifying its interpretation of how current accounting standards apply
to these types of arrangements.
As at 30 June 2021, a carrying amount of $1.2 million has been recognised as property, plant and equipment in respect
of configuration and customisation costs incurred in implementing SaaS arrangements. Due to the complexity of
historical SaaS projects, the Group is still in the process of obtaining the required information to analyse the impact
of the Group’s change in accounting policy in respect of these SaaS arrangements. The Group expects it is likely
that the analysis will be completed over the coming months and the restatement, following the change in accounting
policy, will be presented in the Interim report for the half-year period ending 31 December 2021.
There are other standards, amendments and interpretations which have been approved by the External Reporting
Board (XRB) but are not yet effective. The Group expects to adopt these other standards when they become
mandatory. None are expected to materially impact the Group’s financial statements although may result in
disclosure changes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
COVID-19
The effects of Covid-19 continue to have an impact on the financial performance on Delegat’s business, primarily
associated with the global supply chain disruption and getting inventory to customers. Lockdowns, and social
distancing requirements have limited field sales activities and significantly reduced sales in on-premise channels. In
FY21 these negative impacts were partially offset by certain in-market operating expenses that were not able to be
incurred.
2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise interest-bearing loans and borrowings, 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 Chief
Financial Officer, Group Financial Controller, Group 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 below $200,000 is to be covered at
the discretion of the TMC, based on such factors as timing for payment and expected volatility of currency markets.
It is the Group’s policy that in no instance is trading for speculative purposes permitted.

NZD/EUR +5% (52) (52) (39) (39)
NZD/EUR -5% 58 58 43 43
The above table 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, loans
and borrowings, cash on hand, and unsettled foreign exchange contracts that exist at balance sheet date. The net
foreign currency exposure is determined in aggregate and the impact on post-tax profits determined as a result of a
+/- 5% movement in foreign exchange rates. A +5% movement reflects the strengthening of the NZD relative to the
other currency, whereas a -5% movement reflects the weakening of the NZD relative to the other currency.
The impact upon the Group’s equity balance is derived through determining the impact on post-tax profits as noted
above.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN OPERATION
For hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the
hedging instrument is recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income and accumulated in
the foreign currency translation reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the
statement of financial performance. On disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative amount of any
such gains or losses accumulated within equity is transferred to the statement of financial performance.
The net assets employed in Barossa Valley Estate Pty Limited (BVE) exposes the Group to foreign currency risk as a
result of changes in the AUD/NZD exchange rate.
The foreign currency movement on translation of the net assets of BVE is included in the statement of other
comprehensive income. Since the acquisition of BVE the Group has maintained a portion of their external borrowings
in AUD to mitigate this risk. The foreign exchange movement on these external borrowings in the absence of hedge
accounting is included in the statement of financial performance.
External borrowings of A$29,350,000 have been designated as a hedge of the net investment in BVE. Gains or
losses on the retranslation of this borrowing are transferred to the statement of other comprehensive income to
offset any gains or losses on translation of the net assets of BVE. There is no hedge ineffectiveness in the year ended
30 June 2021.
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 0%
to 60% of projected core debt facilities for three to 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.
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:

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
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/BBSY, 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.
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
above table 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

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD
At the balance sheet date the Group reports the following categories of financial instruments:
2021 2020
$000 $000

The Group does not have any financial assets or liabilities that are classified as fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVOCI).
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
below:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
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.

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 grape vines 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 upon 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
upon 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 variations 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.
REVENUE
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.
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202132
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
REVENUE
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 2021 the
Group has recognised accruals for all of these expenses of $18.1 million (2020: $22.4 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.
The following reflects the earnings used in the calculation of the basic and fully diluted earnings per share:

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 and accruals 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 and accruals 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 and accruals 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 or
accruals 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 inputs for similar instruments.
The Group has the following derivative financial instruments outstanding at the balance sheet date:

NZ IFRS 9: Financial Instruments requires that derivative financial instruments are classified as fair value
through profit or loss for measurement purposes unless they are accounted for as hedges. Under NZ
IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements, assets and liabilities under the fair value through profit or
loss classification would generally be classified as current in the statement of financial position if held for
trading. 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 $100,000,000 (2020: $97,500,000)
of current New Zealand Dollar denominated Group debt through 11 separate cap rate agreements, which range
in maturity from one to four years, with a weighted average interest rate cap of 3.61% plus bank margin (2020:
3.75% plus bank margin). In addition, interest rate contracts are in place that cover a total of A$37,500,000 (2020:
A$37,500,000) of current Australian Dollar denominated Group debt through eight separate cap rate agreements,
which range in maturity from one to four years, with a weighted average interest rate cap of 2.66% plus bank margin
(2020: 2.66% plus bank margin).
At balance sheet date the Group has one further separate cap rate agreement that covers NZ$25,000,000 (2020:
NZ$45,000,000) which applies at a future date to cover future Group indebtedness. Maturity is five years, with
an interest rate cap of 0.95% plus bank margin (2020: 0.95% and 3.1% plus bank margin). A further two cap rate
agreements are in place that cover a total of A$10,000,000 (2020: A$10,000,000) which apply from various future
dates, ranging in maturity from four to five years, with an interest rate cap of 0.8% plus bank margin (2020: 0.8% plus
bank margin). The application date of these New Zealand Dollar and Australian Dollar denominated future cap rate
agreements range between December 2021 and March 2023.
The total fair value of these contracts at balance sheet date is a liability of $4,086,000 (2020: $10,549,000 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 are included as part of the carrying amount of the interest-
bearing loans and borrowings. Interest-bearing loans and 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.

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 (2020: NZ$48,000,000), Term
facility (Multi-Currency) is NZ$220,000,000 (2020: NZ$220,000,000), Term facility (AUD) is A$40,000,000 (2020:
A$40,000,000), and the Headroom facility is NZ$20,000,000 (2020: NZ$20,000,000). At balance sheet date
NZ$72,592,000 (2020: NZ$75,828,000) is available for further drawdown on these facilities.
The Term facility (AUD) and a portion of the Term facility (Multi-Currency) are denominated in Australian Dollars (A$).
The amount drawn down in foreign currency at the balance sheet date was A$61,850,000 (2020: 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 a better 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 (2020: $1,000,000). Interest charged on this facility is at
the commercial lending rate (2020: commercial lending rate). At 30 June 2021 the commercial lending rate is 4.75%
(2020: commercial lending rate 4.75%). 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 and sundry receivables if financial assets. 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.
Due to 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 were any bad debts written off over the past five years and has identified that these were $nil
(2020: $nil). Accordingly the historical loss rates applied to each customer group at 30 June 2021 are 0% (2020: 0%).
Due to the short term nature of the Group’s trade receivables, the nature of the Group’s customer base, the Group’s
experience over the past five years and other forward looking information, 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.
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 into 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.
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.

14. 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 directly attributable 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, the recoverable amount is determined at the lowest
level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, other than land and land improvements, 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:
B
uildings 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 4.36% (2020: 4.68%).
Bearer plants consist of grapevines on company owned vineyards located in New Zealand and the Barossa Valley,
Australia. At 30 June 2021 the Group has grapevines planted on 1,797 productive hectares of land (2020: 1,528
productive hectares) in New Zealand and 183 productive hectares (2020: 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 bearer
plants 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 bearer plants is owned by the Group (refer note 16). The net
book value of these assets is reported, as the risk and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the Group.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 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
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202160
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of Delegat Group Limited
OpinionWe have audited the consolidatedfinancial statementsof Delegat Group Limited
(the ‘Company’)and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’), which comprise the consolidated
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, and the consolidated statement
of financial performance, statement of other comprehensive income, statement of
changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to theconsolidatedfinancial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on pages 12
to 59, present fairly, in all material respects, theconsolidatedfinancial position of
the Group as at 30 June 2021, and itsconsolidatedfinancial performance and cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’)and International Financial
Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
Basis for opinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(‘ISAs’) and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe Consolidated Financial Statements section of
our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the Company 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 the International Ethics Standards
Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants
(including International Independence Standards), and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Other than in our capacity as auditor and the provision of taxation advice, we have
no relationship with or interests in the Company or any of its subsidiaries. These
services have not impaired our independence as auditor of theCompany and
Group.
Audit materialityWe consider materiality primarily in terms of the magnitude of misstatement in the
financial statements of the Groupthat in our judgement would make it probable
that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be
changed or influenced (the ‘quantitative’ materiality). In addition, we also assess
whether other matters that come to our attention during the audit would in our
judgement change or influence the decisions of such a person (the ‘qualitative’
materiality). We use materiality both in planning the scope of our audit work and in
evaluating the results of our work.
Key audit mattersKey audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of
most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the
current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

Key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue Recognition –Rebates & Promotional
Allowances Accruals
Revenue is recognised net of volume discounts, other
rebates and various other payments to customers for
promotional support. Volume discounts and rebates
not invoiced at reporting date are estimated based on
agreements with customers and estimated depletions
during the period.
As disclosed in note 3, the value of the rebates and
promotional allowances accruals at 30 June 2021 was
$18.1m(2020: $22.4m).
The value of rebates and promotional allowances
accruals as at 30 June 2021 is a key audit matter due
to the high levels of judgement involved in the
calculation of the accruals as management must
estimate the level of achievement of future targets by
customers in order to calculate the level of rebates
and promotional allowancesthat will be incurred.
In order to respond to the significant judgement in
estimating the rebates and promotional expenses
accruals we:
•held discussions with management to understand the
process and models for estimating the rebates and
promotional allowances accruals;
•evaluated the design and tested the operating
effectiveness of relevant controls over the rebates
andpromotionalallowances accruals and associated
revenue recognition;
•performed a look-back analysis comparing previous
rebates and promotional allowances accruals to the
actual cost incurred; and
•obtained management’s calculation of the 30 June
2021 rebates and promotional allowances accruals,
checked the calculation for mathematical accuracy
and agreed to supporting evidence on a sample basis.
Other informationThe directors are responsibleon behalf of the Groupfor the other information. The
other information comprises the information in the Annual Report that
accompanies the consolidated financial statements and the audit report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other
information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether it is
materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If
so, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Directors’ responsibilities for
the consolidated financial
statements
The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair
presentation of the consolidatedfinancial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS
and IFRS, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to
enable thepreparation of consolidatedfinancial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible on
behalf of the Group for assessing 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 to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 202162
Auditor’s responsibilities for
the audit of the consolidated
financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and ISAs (NZ) 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
consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
financial statements is located on the External Reporting Board’s website at:
https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-
responsibilities/audit-report-1
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Restriction on useThis 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’s shareholders as a body, for our
audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
