DGL – 2022 Annual report
YEARS OF VISIONARY
WINEMAKING
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2022
75 years
of Delegat Great
Wine People,
winning together
around the world.
Every day for the past 75 years, the
great wine people of Delegat have
been building a legacy — working
together across the seasons and
the seas to turn an audacious vision
into one of the world’s truly great
wine companies.
It’s been a journey of magnificent milestones, a
journey driven by an ambitious, strategic plan
and a simple, shared philosophy - that the road
to success is always under construction and the
best way to lead is simply not to follow.
It is an attitude that has enabled Delegat to grow
22-fold in the last two decades, generate annual
sales of over 3 million cases and become New
Zealand’s leading premium wine exporter.
It’s said that a glass of wine, produced by one of
Delegat’s brands, is enjoyed somewhere around
the world every minute of every day.
Still proudly bearing the family name, Delegat
has grown from its original 10 acre vineyard
in West Auckland to embrace three brands,
20 premier vineyards and four state-of-the-
art wineries in three of the world’s greatest
wine regions – Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay and
Australia’s Barossa Valley.
Delegat’s global flagship brand, Oyster Bay,
which won the coveted Marquis de Goulaine
Trophy for ‘Best Sauvignon Blanc in the World’
for its very first vintage in 1990, has grown
exponentially to become the No.3 premium
wine brand in the world.
Hailed by London wine writer Michael Kime as
“the elusive stuff of dreams”, Oyster Bay has
consistently won global acclaim for the quality
of the wines that proudly bear its name.
Last year, Australia Drink Awards declared
Oyster Bay their nation’s ‘Favourite White
Wine’. And this year, Oyster Bay was officially
recognised by Drinks International Magazine
as the ‘25th Most Admired Wine Brand in the
World’.
Barossa Valley Estate, meanwhile, has been
making its own, proud ‘points’ of difference. Last
year its 2019 Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and
Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre were all awarded
90+ points in competition.
Its iconic E&E Black Pepper Shiraz, meanwhile,
has been awarded 90+ points 10 years in a row
by Wine Spectator Magazine.
Not to be outdone, the Delegat 2020
Crownthorpe Terraces Chardonnay took the
Trophy for Champion Commercial White Wine
as well as Double Gold and 96 Points at last
year’s New Zealand International Wine Show.
In the same competition, the Delegat 2020
Gimblett Road Merlot and Awatere Valley Pinot
Noir each won gold.
The sheer quality and consistency of success
of all three Delegat wine brands comes not
just from the grace of good seasons and great
vintages, but from a four pillar, strategic plan
that defines Delegat and drives its global ‘great
wine people’ culture –
1. Leading Global Super Premium Wine
Brands.
2. Vineyards in Three of the World’s Great
Wine Regions.
3. Uncompromising Super Premium Quality.
4. Our Global Distribution Network.
Delegat invested so early in the superior
viticultural soils of Marlborough before it was
even recognised as one of the world’s great wine
regions.
Delegat built a $73 million, state–of–the–art
Marlborough winery back in 2007 to meet
the quantity and quality expectations of the
premium global wine market.
It was this long-term environmental strategy
that saw Delegat become one of the founding
members of Sustainable Winegrowing New
Zealand.
It’s a journey made possible by the many
Delegat Great Wine People, who paved this path
together, and established Delegat as a global
leader in Super Premium wine.

We’re celebrating
75 years of viticulture
and winemaking in
New Zealand.
A LETTER FROM JIM DELEGAT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
2022 is a year of special significance for Delegat and the Delegat family as we celebrate 75 years in
New Zealand wine. We’re so proud of this milestone accomplishment we’re celebrating all year.
We can easily forget that not so long ago things were different. The idea that one day we would be
successful in exporting New Zealand wine to the discerning markets of the world would have been
dismissed as fanciful. Happily, and wonderfully, New Zealand wine has come a long way in a very short
space of time.
Now, as Delegat celebrates 75 years, we recognise our fellow ‘builders’ of the industry, the families,
the individuals and the companies that have held fast to a vision, done the hard work in viticultural
pioneering and shown great determination in the face of adversity. Those who, above all, have never lost
sight of their drive for wine excellence and the acceptance of wine in to everyday life.
At 75 years old, the company’s experience is storied and our track record is solid. I wish to record a special
tribute to my parents for the early decisions they made and the foundations they laid so admirably.
This has ensured the best chances for success and prosperity for a young, growing business.
Finally, this message would not be complete without recording a sincere thanks and acknowledgement
to our loyal consumers who have supported us and made everything possible. Likewise, we owe gratitude
to our shareholders, partners and our Delegat Great Wine People, many of whom have worked with us
over the course of decades. We consider ourselves fortunate to have earned your trust.
Sincerely

goal is to build

Super Premium
wine company.”
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2022
As Delegat commemorates 75 years in business this year, it is appropriate we begin by
acknowledging the ongoing leadership of Jim Delegat. Jim moved this year in to the role of
Executive Director, handing over the chairmanship of the Delegat Board to me, Alan Jackson.
We welcomed Steven Carden as the new Managing Director, allowing Graeme Lord, who
had been Acting Managing Director, to resume his role as a Director on the Delegat Board.
We are appreciative of Jim and Graeme’s ongoing involvement in the business ensuring
their wealth of experience is not lost to the company. We also welcomed Gordon MacLeod
as a new independent director to the Delegat Board.

Accordingly, on behalf of the Board of Directors of Delegat Group Limited, it is with great
pleasure that I present to you another strong year for Delegat Group Limited, on our

rise to the ongoing challenges by demonstrating persistence, resilience and care as a team
to both colleagues and customers. On that basis, I am pleased to present its operating and
financial results for the year ended 30 June 2022.

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 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 strong operating NPAT of $58.1 million was generated compared to $65.2 million* in the
previous 12 months. Operating EBIT of $88.8 million is $10.8 million lower than last year
reflecting higher cost of goods associated with the impact of the lower yielding 2021 vintage
as well as inflationary cost increases both locally and globally. Operating Expenses (before
NZ IFRS adjustments) at $55.4 million are $4.1 million higher than last year.
Delegat achieved Operating Revenue of $325.4 million on global case sales of 3,360,000
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 two
significant items at the year-end as described below and detailed in table 3.
• 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 2022, the market value of the Company grapes exceeded the costs incurred by $19.1
million (2021: $9.2 million). This write-up is principally higher than last year due to a higher-
yielding 2022 vintage. This write-up, less the impact of prior years’ vintages being sold has
resulted in a net write-up of $6.6 million for the year (2021: write-down of $7.3 million); and
• 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 $0.2 million (2021: write-up of $2.7 million).
The above adjustments, net of taxation, amount to a write-up of $4.9 million for the year (2021:
write-down of $3.3 million).
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.

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 2022 is reconciled to Operating Profit as
detailed in table 4.
CASH FLOW
The Group generated Cash Flows from Operations of $65.6 million in the current year, which
is a decrease of $8.6 million or 12% on the previous year. This decrease is principally due to
funding a higher working capital in respect of the 2022 vintage. A total of $38.1 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
$20.2 million to Shareholders in dividends. A net repayment of $5.8 million was made during
the year, decreasing borrowings. Having refinanced a $333.0 million syndicated Senior
Debt facility in December 2021 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 2022 amounted to $248.7 million, in line with 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 maintaining the dividend payout in line with last 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 14 October 2022 to Shareholders on record at
30 September 2022.
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 $39.4 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 Board also fully realises
the importance of driving high standards of responsibility on Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) issues across the business. A range of initiatives are underway across
the company focused on reducing the Delegat Group environmental impact, enhanced
Health and Safety outcomes for our people, and increasing diversity and inclusion.
The Delegat state-of-the-art
Hawke’s Bay winery was opened in 2016.
The Group plans to invest an additional $51.9 million in 2023 to provide earnings growth
in the years ahead. This capital investment supports the Group’s plan to grow sales to
4,080,000 cases by 2025 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.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT 2022
Thanks to the tremendous effort of our entire global team in 2022, we have delivered a
strong Operating Net Profit after tax of $58.1 million. The year was impacted by the ongoing
Covid-19 pandemic and significant global supply chain disruptions, testing the strength of
the company in every area. It is especially evident in these challenging times that we see
the hard work and resilience of our people as they drive the company towards ongoing
growth and success.

DELEGAT ANNUAL REPORT 2022

GLOBAL SALES PERFORMANCE
The Group achieved global case sales of 3,360,000 cases, which is 6% higher than the
previous year. Were it not for the difficulty in getting products to the market due to ongoing
global port congestion and constrained shipping line capacity, global case sales would have
been higher. This is an excellent result and testament to the strength of our brands, the
relationships with our distributor partners and the effectiveness of our global sales team.
As was the case last year, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic continued to have a tangible
impact on market conditions. Consumers continued to gravitate towards established
brands that they know and trust such as Oyster Bay. Social distancing requirements and
ongoing lockdowns in some of our major markets continued to reduce sales in the on-
premise channel, although we saw a strong recovery in this channel throughout the second
half of the year. Our in-market sales teams remain a strength of the business and they have
engaged productively with customers and distributors throughout the year.
With 48% of the Group’s sales in North America, 32% in the United Kingdom, Ireland and
Europe, and 20% in Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific region, the company has been
able to manage changing market conditions and disrupted supply chains effectively. The
Group’s in-market sales teams (in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United
States, Canada and China) and infrastructure of in-market sales offices were critical in
delivering high-quality distribution, enduring business relationships, market knowledge
and focus.
NORTH AMERICA
The North American market remains a key focus for growth. Sales in North America grew by
8% to a record 1,608,000 cases, despite sales volumes again being hampered by reduced
shipping line capacity and port congestion. Through the pandemic, consumers continued
to ‘trade-up’ to better quality wines while engaging in new purchasing behaviours, driving
more at-home-consumption and online sales. Further, US consumers’ demand for premium
imported wines such as Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc also continued to increase. Wine in
the premium and above price bands has increased its share of the wine market significantly
since 2015 and is predicted to continue growing to 2025. Imported wine now accounts for
25% of all wine consumed in the US, and New Zealand wine is the fastest growing source
of imported wine. Building on the underlying popularity of New Zealand wine in the US, the
Group’s success continues to focus on ensuring that the Oyster Bay brand achieves strong
distribution growth while also lifting rate of sale per point of distribution. Oyster Bay is now
a category leading New Zealand wine brand in the US market and Oyster Bay Sauvignon
Blanc is a top five white wine by value. The US remains a major growth market opportunity
for the Group.
In Canada, Oyster Bay continues to be a category leading wine brand across its range. This
success is underpinned by a strong distribution base and high rate of sale with Sauvignon
Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio leading growth in each of the major provinces. Canada
continues to be a major growth opportunity in the years ahead.
DELEGAT ANNUAL REPORT 2022 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT
24
UNITED KINGDOM, IRELAND AND EUROPE
Despite supply chain constraints, sales in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe region
were 1% lower than the prior year at 1,060,000 cases. This result is particularly impressive
considering the introduction of a price increase in the market during the year. Such a robust
performance reflects the power of the Group’s brands and distribution platform in a region
where demand for quality New Zealand wine remains strong.
Oyster Bay has maintained its Super Premium category leadership position in the United
Kingdom. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Merlot continue to be category leading wines
above £8 in their individual varietal categories irrespective of origin. Barossa Valley Estate
sales recovered from last year as consumers returned to the hospitality sector. In Ireland,
Oyster Bay continues to achieve success as the number one premium New Zealand wine
brand.
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 692,000 cases, 12% higher than in the previous year.
In Australia, Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc remains the top-selling wine by value. Oyster Bay
Chardonnay remains as a top-selling premium Chardonnay whilst Oyster Pinot Noir and
Merlot are category leaders. The New Zealand business had a very good year with sales
increasing by 9% over last year, again driven by the re-emergence of on-premise activity.
In China, despite disruptions from ongoing lockdowns, the Group again experienced strong
growth as wine consumption evolves. China represents long-term growth opportunity for
the Group.
BRANDS AND COMMUNICATIONS
The Group’s goal is to establish Oyster Bay and Barossa Valley Estate as leading brands in
the Super Premium wine category globally.
Based on wine consumption patterns, the Group classifies markets as Established,
Growth or Emerging. Understanding the level of maturity of our markets is essential for
setting business strategy. Marketing activities are then tailored to the specific needs of
each market and phases of brand development. Marketing programmes are designed to
grow consumer awareness and affinity, supporting distribution and rate of sales growth for
its brands.
The Group works closely with its retail partners to develop highly effective in-store
activations that support rate of sales and nurture long-term brand affinity. In the consumer

and engage the premium wine consumer.

Barossa Valley Estate’s 2019 Shiraz, Cabernet
Sauvignon and Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre were
all awarded 90+ points in competition last year
while our iconic E&E Black Pepper Shiraz has
been awarded 90+ points for 10 years running by
Wine Spectator Magazine which also recognised
it as one of Australia’s Top 25 benchmark wines.
Last year Oyster Bay engaged
with 56 million wine lovers
across the globe through its
media platform.
2022 HARVEST
The 2022 harvest delivered exceptional quality fruit across all three of our wine regions.
The Group harvest of 44,861 tonnes was up 20% from the 2021 harvest (which had been
an unusually small harvest).
Whilst the Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay growing season experienced above average
rainfall the vintage outcome has delivered excellent quality wines. The Group has
appropriate inventories to achieve the 2023 forecast case sales as outlined in this report.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability in all its forms remains a priority for the Group, reflecting the strong leadership
role the Group plays in the practice 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.
Utilising a sustainability framework that covers three main areas, building a resilient
business (covering climate risk and greenhouse gas emissions); fostering healthy
communities (covering health, safety and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion); and producing
sustainable wine (covering biodiversity, packaging and waste, and sustainable viticulture
and winemaking), the Group has a range of initiatives helping drive positive environmental
and social outcomes across the business. For example, a significant amount of work is
under way with Toitu Envirocare. The Group has also been working on its health, safety and
wellbeing performance for all its people around the world and has specific programmes in
diversity and inclusion in the Group.

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 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 21% to 4,080,000 cases over the next three years. The
primary driver of planned growth is Oyster Bay sales in North America.
With respect to the 2023 year, Delegat plans to grow sales by 9% to 3,672,000 cases and
forecasts Operating Net Profit after Tax to be in the range of $60 to $64 million. The forecast
Operating Net Profit After Tax is higher than this year’s result due to increased case sales.
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.
OUR PEOPLE
The effectiveness of our approach, with the spirit and support shown by our Great Wine
People and our customers, can be seen in the record results detailed within this report.
As noted earlier in this report, our people are key to the company’s performance over the
last year and to realising the Group’s future goals. We are indebted to their hard work and
appreciative of the way our people again brought to life our core value of Winning Together
in a challenging year. They have collectively built a high performance team culture that is
respected across the global wine industry. As the new Managing Director, I have had the
opportunity to meet most of our people in recent months and I have been struck by their
passion for the business and pride in its success.

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 2022 were
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 25 August 2022.
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 2022 and
comparative as at 30 June 2021.
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 2022
45
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.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, with the exception of
Software-as-a-Service arrangements as detailed below.
Software-as-a-Service Arrangements
The Group accounting policy on intangible software has been changed subsequent to an agenda decision published
by the IFRS Interpretations Committee in April 2021, for the configuration and customisation costs incurred in
relation to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements. SaaS arrangements are those in which the Group does not
currently control the underlying software used in the arrangement, but pays a fee in exchange for a right to receive
access to a supplier’s application software for a specified term.
Under the new Group accounting policy, costs incurred to configure or customise SaaS arrangements are recognised
as a separate intangible software asset when they meet the definition of and recognition criteria for an intangible
asset. These costs are recognised as intangible software assets and amortised over their useful lives on a straight-
line basis. If costs do not meet the recognition criteria, they are expensed as incurred. A reclassification has occured
to move existing software assets out of property, plant and equipment and into intangible assets.

COVID-19
The effects of Covid-19 continue to have a negative impact on the financial performance of 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 FY22 these negative impacts were partially offset by certain operating in-market 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 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% 60 60 (52) (52)
NZD/EUR -5% (66) (66) 58 58
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.

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
2022.
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:

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
principal balance and interest rates that exist at balance sheet date. The table also includes the New Zealand Dollar
equivalent for the foreign currency amounts, which are to be delivered to fulfil obligations under foreign currency
contracts.

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

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 , calculated using discounted cash flow models and observable
market rates of interest and foreign exchange. 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. REVENUE AND 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. External sales revenue includes
various payments to customers for volume discounts, rebates and other promotional support.
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 2022
56
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 these 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 2022 the Group has recognised accruals of $21.5 million (2021: $18.1 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; and
– other non-discretionary changes in revenues and expenses during the period that would result from
the dilution of potential ordinary shares
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares.

8. TRADE PAYABLES AND ACCRUALS
Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and then carried at amortised cost, and due to their
short-term nature, they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided
to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes
obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
Provisions 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:
2022 2021

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 $70,000,000 (2021: $100,000,000) of
current New Zealand dollar denominated Group debt through five separate cap rate agreements, which range in
maturity from one to four years, with a weighted average interest rate cap of 2.17% plus bank margin (2021: 3.61% plus
bank margin). In addition, interest rate contracts are in place that cover a total A$30,000,000 (2021: A$37,500,000)
of current Australian dollar denominated Group debt through six separate cap rate agreements, which range in
maturity from one to four years, with a weighted average interest rate cap of 1.88% plus bank margin (2021: 2.66%
plus bank margin).
At balance sheet date the Group does not have any additional New Zealand dollar denominated cap rate agreements
that applies at a future date to cover future Group indebtedness (2021: $25,000,000). The Group has an additional
Australian Dollar denominated cap rate agreement in place that covers a total A$5,000,000 (2021: A$10,000,000)
which applies from 30 March 2023, has a maturity of two years, and an interest rate cap of 0.8% plus bank margin
(2021: 0.8% plus bank margin).
The total fair value of these contracts at balance sheet date is an asset of $4,350,000 (2021: $4,087,000 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:
2022 2021
Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities

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

b) Terms and Conditions of Debt Facilities
i) Senior Debt Facilities
On 7 December 2021, the Group successfully completed the renegotiation of its 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

Valley Estate Pty Limited.
At balance sheet date the Working capital facility, Multicurrency Facility A, Multicurrency Facility B, AUD Facility A,
AUD Facility B 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$45,000,000
(2021: NZ$48,000,000), the Multicurrency Facility A is NZ$100,000,000 (2021: N/A), the Multicurrency Facility B is

The amount drawn down on the AUD Facility A and AUD Facility B at the balance sheet date was A$62,850,000
(2021: N/A). At balance sheet date AUD$1,500,000 (2021: N/A) is available for further drawdown on these facilities.
Interest on these facilities is based on the BKBM/BBSY plus margin. The facility agreement requires that certain
banking covenants be met and requires the Group to maintain or better 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 (2021: $1,000,000). Interest charged on this facility is at
the commercial lending rate (2021: commercial lending rate). At 30 June 2022 the commercial lending rate is 6.50%
(2021: 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
(2021: $nil). Accordingly the historical loss rates applied to each customer group at 30 June 2022 are 0% (2021: 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 4.06%.
Bearer Plants consist of grape vines on our vineyards located in New Zealand and the Barossa Valley, Australia.
At 30 June 2022 the Group has grape vines planted on 1,797 productive hectares of land (2021: 1,797 productive
hectares) in New Zealand and 183 productive hectares (2021: 183 productive hectares) in Australia.
The net book value of vines on leased land where the Group does not have the beneficial ownership in the vine
asset, is not reported above, as the risks and rewards incidental to owning the vines do not transfer to the Group.
The Group is however party to leases of land on which vine stock is owned by the Group. The net book value of these
assets are 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.
Water rights 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 water rights’ carrying value and therefore no impairment is required to be recognised.
Water rights 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.
Costs incurred in developing systems, acquiring software and licences, are capitalised to software where the
activities create an intangible asset that the Group controls and the intangible asset meets the recognition criteria.
Amortisation of software asset is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset (typically 3 to
10 years). Costs related to Software-as-a-Service arrangements are expensed unless they meet the definition of an
intangible asset.

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
To the Shareholders of Delegat Group Limited
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Delegat Group Limited and
its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’), which comprise the statement of financial position as at
30 June 2022, and the statement of financial performance, statement of other
comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for
the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on pages 36 to 83,
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group
as at 30 June 2022, and its consolidated financial 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 opinion We 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 of the 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 the Company and Group
.
Audit materiality
We consider materiality primarily in terms of the magnitude of misstatement in the
financial statements of the
Group that in our judgement would make it probable that
the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be changed or
influence
d (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 matters Key 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.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

02
Key audit matter How 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 2022 was
$21.5m (2021: $18.1m).
The value of rebates and promotional allowances
accruals as at 30 June 2022 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 allowances
that 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 and
promotional allowances 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 2022
rebates and promotional allowances accruals, checked
the calculation for mathematical accuracy and agreed to
supporting evidence on a sample basis.
Other information
The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for 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
inf
ormation 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 audi
t 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 consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and
IFRS, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the
preparation of consolidated financial 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 eith
er intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Delegat Group Limited (“the Group”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of governance by
adopting and implementing best practice structures and policies. This Corporate Governance Statement sets
out the corporate governance policies, practices, and processes adopted and followed by the Group (including
the guiding principles, authority, responsibilities, membership and operation of the Board of Directors) as at
25 August 2022 and has been approved by the Board.
The best practice principles (and underlying recommendations) which the Group has had in regard to determining
its governance approach are the principles set out in the NZX Corporate Governance Code 2017 (‘NZX Code’).
The Board’s view is that the Group’s corporate governance policies, practices and processes generally follow the
recommendations of the NZX Code. This Corporate Governance Statement includes disclosure of the extent to
which the Group has followed each of the recommendations in the NZX Code (or where applicable, an explanation
as to why a recommendation was not followed and any alternative practice followed in lieu of the recommendation).
The Group is a company incorporated in New Zealand and listed on the NZX Main Board. Further information
about the Group’s corporate governance framework (including the Board and Board Committee charters, and
codes and selected policies referred to in this section) is available on the Group’s website at www.delegat.com,
under the Investor Relations section.
PRINCIPLE 1 – CODE OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR
Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management accountable for
these standards being followed throughout the organisation.
CODE OF ETHICS AND RELATED POLICIES
Recommendation 1.1: The board should document minimum standards of ethical behaviour to which the
issuer’s directors and employees are expected to adhere (a code of ethics).
The Group expects its Directors, senior management and employees to maintain the highest standards of
honesty, integrity and ethical conduct in day to day behaviour and decision making. The Board has adopted a
Code of Ethics which incorporates the requirements set out in Recommendation 1.1, forms part of the induction
process for all new employees and is available on the Group’s website. All Directors, senior management and
employees must provide acknowledgement that they have read and understood the content.
Delegat Group operates a phone service which can be used by Delegat Group’s personnel to report suspected
unacceptable, unethical or illegal behaviour in the workplace.
In addition, the Group has a Modern Slavery Policy, which provides for a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of
forced labour, including modern forms of slavery and any form of human trafficking within our supply chain.
FINANCIAL PRODUCTS TRADING POLICY
Recommendation 1.2: An issuer should have a financial product dealing policy which applies to employees
and directors.
The Financial Products Trading Policy sets out the Group’s requirements for all Directors and employees in
relation to trading the Group’s shares and is available on the Group’s website. This policy incorporates all trading
restraints. In general, Directors and employees are allowed to trade in the Group shares during two ‘trading
windows’. Trading windows commence on the day after the half-year and full-year results are announced to the
market and close on the respective half-year and full-year balance date, which typically means an ‘open period’ of
approximately 120 days. Trading outside these windows is generally prohibited. Proposed transactions by Directors
and employees during the trading windows require approval from the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee.
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
87
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED
FINANCIAL PRODUCTS TRADING POLICY (CONTINUED)
The policy also provides that no Directors or employees can trade shares if they are in possession of price
sensitive information that is not publicly available. In addition, through our share registry, Computershare
Investor Services Limited, we actively monitor trading in Delegat Group Limited shares by senior personnel.
PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE
To ensure an effective board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience and
perspectives.
BOARD CHARTER
Recommendation 2.1: The board of an issuer should operate under a written charter which sets out the roles
and responsibilities of the board. The board charter should clearly distinguish and disclose the respective
roles and responsibilities of the board and management.
The Board has adopted a formal Board Charter which sets out the respective roles, responsibilities, composition
and structure of the Board and senior management, and this is available on the Group’s website. The Board is
responsible for the direction and control of the Group’s activities and acknowledges the need for the highest
standard of corporate governance. The responsibility includes such areas of stewardship as the identification
and control of the Group’s business risks, the integrity of management systems and reporting to Shareholders.
The primary objective of the Board is to build long-term Shareholder value, with due regard to other stakeholder
interests. It does this by adopting the strategic plans, objectives and policies that have been set for the Group
by the Managing Director, together with senior management. Responsibility for day-to-day management of
the Group has been delegated to the Managing Director and other members of senior management, to deliver
effective execution of the strategic plans and manage the daily affairs of the Group. The Managing Director
reports regularly to the Board on Group performance, as well as the progress being made against the strategic
plans. Management is responsible for implementing the objectives and strategies approved by the Board, within
the ambit of risk set by the Board.
NOMINATION AND APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS
Recommendations 2.2 and 2.3: Every issuer should have a procedure and appointment of directors to the
board. An issuer should enter into written agreements with each newly appointed director establishing the
terms of the appointment.
The Board collectively considers the nominations of Directors. In doing this, the Board’s procedure involves
careful consideration of the composition of the Board in relation to the Group’s needs and operating environment
to ensure relevant skills and experience. This also applies to the consideration of additional or replacement
Directors, subject to the constitutional limitation on the number of Directors. In so doing, as noted, the priority
must be on ensuring the skills, experience and diversity on the Board, and the skills that are necessary or
desirable for the Board to fulfil its governance role and to contribute to the long-term strategic direction of the
Group. The Board may engage consultants to assist in the identification, recruitment and appointment of suitable
candidates.
When appointing new Directors, the Board ensures that the constitutional requirements in respect of Directors
will continue to be satisfied. There must be at least three and no more than nine, at least two Directors must
be resident in New Zealand and, while the Company is listed, at least two Directors must be determined by the
Board to be independent. Each director receives a letter formalising his or her appointment. That letter outlines
the key terms and conditions of his or her appointment, including Delegat Group’s expectations of the role of
director, and is required to be countersigned confirming agreement.
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
88
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT CONTINUED
NOMINATION AND APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS (CONTINUED)
The NZX Listing Rules and the Group’s Constitution requires that all Directors stand for re-election at the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders within three years of last being elected. Directors may be appointed by the Board to
fill vacancies, but they are then subject to re-election at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In addition
to Directors retiring by rotation, and eligible for re-election, nominations may be made by Shareholders. All new
Directors will enter into a written agreement with the Group setting out the terms of their appointment.
DIRECTORS
Recommendation 2.4: Every issuer should disclose information about each director in its annual report or on
its website, including a profile of experience, length of service, independence and ownership interests and
director attendance at board meetings.
The Board currently comprises seven Directors; five Non-Executive and two Executive Directors. The Board has
considered which of its Directors are deemed to be independent for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules and has
determined that as at 25 August 2022, three Directors were independent Directors, including the Chair of the Audit
and Risk Committee and the Chair of the Remuneration Committee. As at 25 August 2022, the Directors are:
Jakov (Jim) Delegat Executive Appointed in April 2006
Rosemari (Rose) Delegat Non-Executive Appointed in April 2006
Steven Carden Executive Appointed in January 2022
Graeme Lord Non-Executive Appointed in July 2020
Phillipa Muir Independent Appointed in August 2020
Dr Alan Jackson Independent Appointed in October 2012
Gordon Macleod Independent Appointed in February 2022
A profile of experience for each Director is available on the Group’s website and included in the Annual Report on
pages 33 through 34.
D I V E R S I T Y
Recommendation 2.5: An issuer should have a written diversity policy which includes requirement for the
board or a relevant committee of the board to set measurable objectives for achieving diversity (which, at
a minimum, should address gender diversity) and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s
progress in achieving them. The issuer should disclose the policy or a summary of it.
The Group values diversity and our workforce, including potential employees, come from all walks of life. Every
individual is unique, having different skills and experiences. People come from many cultures and backgrounds,
along with a wide range of other personal attributes including gender, age, culture, disability (mental, learning,
physical), economic background, language(s) spoken, marital/partnered status, race, religious beliefs and
sexual orientation. The Group has a commitment to attracting, selecting, developing and retaining the most
suitable employees from this diverse range of attributes. Delegat values diversity of thought across all levels of
the business to support quality decision making, innovation and ultimately have a positive impact on business
performance. The Group’s Diversity and Inclusion Policy is available on the Group’s website.

The Board and management recognise that diversity, equity and inclusion activities can enhance organisational
culture. Enabling employees to feel they can be themselves at work, perform at their best and fully participate in
the workplace with a sense of belonging.
The Group has in place a formal diversity plan focused on three areas:
• Commit – to equity at all levels of the business and commit to increasing diversity in homogenous teams and
management positions.
• Cultivate – an inclusive organisational culture where all leaders and managers feel a shared responsibility to
cultivate inclusivity.
• Measure – diversity and inclusion impact and report on progress.
During the year under review, the Group has made progress against this plan, specifically:
• Group wide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training available on Delegat’s Learning Management System;
• Diversity and Inclusion champions identified, and Diversity and Inclusion committees formed in all countries
Delegat operates in; and
• Review of Diversity data and commitment to increase gender diversity in management and leadership positions.
The Board has approved the 2023 work plan and are satisfied with the rate of progress to date on group wide
initiatives.
DIRECTOR TRAINING
Recommendation 2.6: Directors should undertake appropriate training to remain current on how to best
perform their duties as directors of an issuer.
The Board expects all Directors to be members of the Institute of Directors and to undertake continuous
education to remain current on how to best perform their responsibilities and keep abreast of changes and trends
in economic, political, social, financial and legal climates and governance practices. The Board also ensures that
new Directors are appropriately introduced to management and the business, that all Directors are updated
on relevant industry and Group issues and receive copies of appropriate Group documents to enable them to
perform their roles. The Board visits each of the Group’s main operational areas by rotation annually, to observe
first-hand the safety and other management practices and business responses to issues.

BOARD EVALUATION
Recommendation 2.7: The board should have a procedure to regularly assess director, board and committee
performance.
The Chairman of the Board leads a biannual performance review and evaluation of the performance of the
Directors, the Board as a whole, and of the Board committees against the Board and committee charters,
including seeking Directors’ views relating to Board and committee process, efficiency and effectiveness. All
Non-Executive Directors are expected to participate in performance reviews, particularly prior to the re-election
of a Non-Executive Director to the Board. The findings of the performance review process are used to identify,
assess and enhance Directors’ competencies and to define characteristics or skills which should be sought in
future Board candidates.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Recommendations 2.8 and 2.9: A majority of the board should be independent directors. An issuer should
have an independent chair of the board. If the chair is not independent, the chair and the CEO should be
different people.
The Board currently comprises seven Directors, three of whom are deemed “independent” according to the NZX
Code. The Board recognises this divergence from the Code that for best practice a majority of board members
will be independent. With respect to Director composition and given the various operating environments of the
Group and its needs, the Board considers that the profile offered by each Director, and all Directors collectively,
provides appropriate experience, skill and diversity to meet its governance responsibilities. In looking to future
board appointments the Board is committed to achieving compliance with the Code and will, when appropriate,
propose suitable or additional nominees. The Board is of the view that the divergence has not interfered with the
Directors’ capacity to provide independent judgements in fulfilling their responsibilities.
The Board Charter is explicit in that the Chairman and Managing Director roles are separate.
PRINCIPLE 3 – BOARD COMMITTEES
The board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas, while still retaining board
responsibility.
AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE
Recommendation 3.1: An issuer’s audit committee should operate under a written charter. Membership on
the audit committee should be majority independent and comprise solely of non-executive directors of the
issuer. The chair of the audit committee should be an independent director and not the chair of the board.
The Audit and Risk Committee operates under a written Charter, and this is available on the Group’s website.
As at 30 June 2022 the Audit and Risk Committee comprised Gordon Macleod (Chair), Graeme Lord and Phillipa
Muir, the Committee meets at least four times during the year, and more frequently if required. The Audit and Risk
Committee is responsible for the framework of internal control mechanisms that ensure proper management of
the Group’s affairs. These controls including the safeguarding of assets, maintaining proper accounting records,
complying with legislation, ensuring the reliability of financial information, and assessing and reviewing business
operational risks. The committee advises and assists the Board in discharging its responsibility with respect to
financial reporting, tax planning, compliance and risk management practices of the Group.
DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE (CONTINUED)
Recommendation 3.2: Employees should only attend audit committees at the invitation of the audit
committee.
The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer attend Audit and Risk Committee meetings at the invitation
of the Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee may invite any senior management member to
present on their respective function or a particular subject matter that is relevant in the committee considering
the Group’s compliance or risk management practices. The Group’s external auditor also attends meetings at
the committee’s invitation. The Audit and Risk Committee receives feedback from the external auditor (without
management present), concerning any matters that arise in connection with the audit and performance of
management’s roles.
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
Recommendation 3.3: An issuer should have a remuneration committee which operates under a written
charter (unless this is carried out by the whole board). At least a majority of the remuneration committee
should be independent directors. Management should only attend remuneration committees at the invitation
of the remuneration committee.
The Remuneration Committee operates under a written Charter, and this is available on the Group’s website.
As at 30 June 2022 the Remuneration Committee comprised Phillipa Muir (Chair), Gordon Macleod and
Graeme Lord. The Committee meets at least three times during the year, and more frequently if required. The
Remuneration Committee assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities with respect to the remuneration
and performance of the Managing Director and other senior management, remuneration of Directors, human
resources policy and strategy and succession planning. The Committee also monitors and reports on general
trends and proposals concerning employment conditions and remuneration. The Managing Director and Group
People and Culture Manager attend Remuneration Committee meetings at the invitation of the Remuneration
Committee.
NOMINATION COMMITTEE
Recommendation 3.4: An issuer should establish a nomination committee to recommend director
appointments to the board (unless this is carried out by the whole board), which should operate under a
written charter. At least a majority of the nomination committee should be independent directors.
The Board does not operate a separate Nomination Committee as Director appointments are considered by the
Board as a whole. The Board’s procedure for the nomination and appointment of Directors is summarised under
Principle 2 above (under the heading “Nomination and Appointment of Directors”).
OVERVIEW OF BOARD COMMITTEES
Recommendation 3.5: An issuer should consider whether it is appropriate to have any other board committees
as standing board committees. All committees should operate under written charters. An issuer should
identify the members of each of its committees, and periodically report member attendance.
The Board does not operate any other committees apart from the Audit and Risk Committee and the Remuneration
Committee. The Group has considered whether any other standing Board committees are appropriate and has
determined the existing committee structure is appropriate for meeting governance obligations. Each committee
operates under a charter which is available on the Group’s website. Committee members are appointed from
members of the Board and membership is reviewed on an annual basis. Any recommendation made by the
committee is typically submitted to the Board for formal approval. The Managing Director and relevant key
executives are invited to attend committee meetings as appropriate.

TAKEOVER PROTOCOLS
Recommendation 3.6: The board should establish appropriate protocols that set out the procedures to be
followed if there is a takeover offer for the issuer including any communications between insiders and the
bidder. The board should disclose the scope of independent advisory reports to shareholders. These protocols
should include the option of establishing an independent takeover committee, and the likely composition
and implementation of an independent takeover committee.
Given the Group’s shareholding structure, with the largest Shareholder being the Delegat Share Protection Trust
(a related party), the Board considers the likelihood of an unanticipated takeover to be low, and so the Board, in
the event of a takeover offer, has agreed that a Takeover Response Committee would be convened comprising
Independent Directors. That committee would consider the Group’s actions in relation to the takeover offer,
including seeking appropriate legal, financial and strategic advice, complying with takeover regulation (including
the appointment of an independent advisor under the Takeovers Code and the preparation of a Target Company
Statement) and determining what additional information (if any) would be provided by the Group to the bidder.
PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE
The board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance of
corporate disclosures.
The Board is committed to timely, accurate and meaningful reporting of financial and non-financial information.
CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE
Recommendation 4.1: An issuer’s board should have a written continuous disclosure policy.
As a listed company there is an imperative for the Group to ensure the market is appropriately informed and
Delegat is committed to ensuring that all of our shareholders have timely access to full and accurate material
information about the Group. The Group has a Continuous Disclosure Policy, and this is available on the Group’s
website. The purpose of this policy is to ensure the Group complies with its continuous disclosure obligations
by ensuring timely, accurate and complete information is provided to all Shareholders and market participants.
Directors formally consider at each Board meeting whether there is relevant material information which should
be disclosed to the market.

CHARTERS AND POLICIES
Recommendation 4.2: An issuer should make its code of ethics, board and committee charters and the policies
recommended in the NZX Code, together with other key governance documents, available on its website.
Information about the Group’s corporate governance framework (including Code of Ethics, Board and Committee
charters, and other selected key governance codes and policies) is available to view on the Group’s website.
FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING
Recommendation 4.3: Financial reporting should be balanced, clear and objective. An issuer should provide
non-financial disclosure at least annually, including considering environmental, economic and social
sustainability factors and practices. It should explain how operational or non-financial targets are measured.
Non-financial reporting should be informative, including forward looking assessments, and align with key
strategies and metrics monitored by the board.
FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Audit and Risk Committee is accountable to the Board for the recommendations of the external auditors,
Deloitte, directing and monitoring the audit function and reviewing the adequacy and quality of the annual audit
process. This includes receiving reports on the Group’s internal information system control environment. The
Committee oversees the quality and integrity of external financial reporting including the accuracy, completeness
and timeliness of financial statements, and ensuring the financial reporting is balanced, clear and objective. It
reviews annual and half year financial statements and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the
application of accounting policies and practices, areas of judgement, compliance with accounting standards,
stock exchange and legal requirements, and the results of the external audit.
Management’s accountability for the Group’s financial reporting is reinforced by the written confirmation from
the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer that, in their opinion, financial records have been properly
maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true
and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Group. Such representations are given based on a
sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively in all material respects in
relation to financial reporting risk.
NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Group assesses its exposure to environmental, economic and social sustainability as part of the overall
framework for managing risk (see Principle 6 – Risk Management). The Group is committed to improving
standards of environmental performance to enable a more efficient and sustainable future. Accordingly, the
Group follows long standing practices regarding management of environmental factors affecting the business,
including strategies relating to water conservation, viticulture management, sustainable winegrowing practices
and wetland preservation initiatives.
The Group has remained focused on the development of measurable initiatives in respect to three key areas;
inclusion, people and climate change. Each of these areas is key to supporting a value based organisation which
focuses on harnessing the passion of people who are intent on personal achievement and growth.
Sustainability in all its forms remains a priority for the Group, reflecting the strong leadership role the Group plays
in the practice 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.

DELEGAT GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES. FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING (CONTINUED)
Utilising a sustainability framework that covers three main areas, building a resilient business (covering climate
risk and greenhouse gas emissions); fostering healthy communities (covering health, safety and wellbeing,
diversity and inclusion); and producing sustainable wine (covering biodiversity, packaging and waste, and
sustainable growing and production), the Group has a range of initiatives helping drive positive environmental
and social outcomes across the business. For example, a significant amount of work is under way to achieve
achieve Toitu Envirocare carbon reduce certification. The Group has also been working on its health, safety and
wellbeing performance for all its people around the world, and has specific programmes identifying opportunities
for improvements in diversity and inclusion in the Group.
The Group applies many of these same sustainable growing practices in the Barossa Valley, again as a leader
of sustainable winegrowing practices within the Australian wine industry. Over the coming year the Group will
be using the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, which covers governance,
strategy, risk management, metrics and targets to enhance its climate risk programme. The company’s
Sustainability and Climate Change Steering Group reports progress to the Delegat Board on a regular basis
against milestones established under the Group’s Sustainability Strategy, approved by the Board in April 2022.
PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION
The remuneration of directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.
DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION
Recommendation 5.1: An issuer should recommend director remuneration to shareholders for approval in a
transparent manner. Actual director remuneration should be clearly disclosed in the issuer’s annual report.
REMUNERATION – EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR
The criteria for reviewing the remuneration for Executive Directors includes, as appropriate, advice obtained
from external independent consultants, specific market comparison of roles using independent surveys,
consideration of role expectations and requirements, and level of achievement against business and personal
objectives.
REMUNERATION – NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
Remuneration levels are set at competitive levels to attract and retain appropriately qualified Directors.
The Group’s policy is to pay its Directors in cash. The fees of the Non-Executive Directors are set within the
aggregate amount determined by Shareholders by a resolution. The criteria for reviewing Non-Executive
Director remuneration includes obtaining advice from external consultants as appropriate, information on Board
arrangements for other corporations of similar size and complexity, and the review of current and expected
workloads (including as Chairman of the Board Committees). The NZX Listing Rules require that the Shareholders
approve the total aggregate amount payable to all Directors as Directors’ fees. Approval was last sought in 2021,
when the pool limit was set at $495,000 per annum. Director remuneration is included in the Annual Report on
page 102.

REMUNERATION POLICY
Recommendation 5.2: An issuer should have a remuneration policy for remuneration of directors and officers,
which outlines the relative weightings of remuneration components and relevant performance criteria.
The Group has adopted a Remuneration Policy which sets out the remuneration principles that apply to all Non-
Executive Directors and all employees including senior management, to ensure that remuneration practices
are fair and appropriate, and that there is a clear link between remuneration and performance. The Group
is committed to applying fair and equitable remuneration and reward practices in the workplace, taking into
account internal and external relativity, the commercial environment, the ability to achieve the Group’s business
objectives and the creation of Shareholder value. Under the Group’s remuneration practices, job size relative to
the relevant competitive market for talent, as well as individual performance against defined key performance
objectives, are key considerations in all remuneration-based decisions.
EMPLOYEE REMUNERATION
The number of employees and former employees within the Group receiving remuneration and benefits above
$100,000 relating to the year ended 30 June 2022 is included in the Annual Report on page 105.
MANAGING DIRECTOR (CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER) REMUNERATION
Recommendation 5.3: An issuer should disclose the remuneration arrangements in place for the CEO in its
annual report. This should include disclosure of the base salary, short-term incentives and the performance
criteria used to determine performance based payments.
The remuneration of the Managing Director for the year ended 30 June 2022 is included in the Annual Report on
page 102.
The remuneration of the Managing Director comprises both a fixed and variable performance component. Fixed
remuneration includes a base salary, contributions to superannuation, wine and phone allowances. The Acting
Managing Director and Managing Director did not receive a variable performance incentive this financial year.
SENIOR MANAGEMENT
The Group’s senior management is appointed by the Managing Director. Senior management’s sales executives’
key performance objectives are comprised of specific Group financial objectives along with business related
individual objectives. Establishing and monitoring these key performance objectives is undertaken annually by
the Managing Director, recommending them to the Remuneration Committee, for approval. The performance
of the sales executives against these key performance objectives is evaluated annually and serves as a key
determinant of any short-term incentive scheme values and payments.
SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PAYMENTS
Short-term incentive payments are at risk cash payments designed to motivate and reward for short-term (within
each financial year) performance. The target value of a short-term incentive payment is set by the Managing
Director with a specified dollar potential available to each participant in the scheme. The target areas for all
employees who are entitled to a short-term incentive payment are set based on a combination of Group financial
performance and specific targets relative to the employee’s area of responsibility and individual goals. The
weightings applied to each of the target areas will be generally consistent throughout the Group for roles entitled
to a short-term incentive payment, but may vary depending on specific areas of focus as determined by the
Managing Director. The Remuneration Committee approves senior management short-term incentive payments
and the Managing Director approves the short-term incentive payments to be made to sales employees at the
end of the financial year and approves the sales employee’s targets for the following year.

PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT
Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage them.
The board should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and
material risks.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Recommendation 6.1: An issuer should have a risk management framework for its business and the issuer’s
board should receive and review regular reports. An issuer should report the material risks facing the business
and how these are being managed.
Risk management is an acknowledged important factor in corporate governance. The Board is responsible for
the Group’s risk assessment, management and internal control and considers it has carried out a robust risk
assessment process. The Board has identified a number of risks in the Group’s operations that are commonly
faced by other entities in the industry in which the Group operates. The Board and management of the Group
considers they have taken all reasonable steps to manage and mitigate these risks.
In viticulture the issues of weather, disease and pest control are an ongoing management activity. Viticultural
techniques are in place and in practice which the Board and management considers effectively mitigate this risk.
Brand reputation and brand security are identified risks that are the subject of ongoing surveillance, and
techniques and practices are in place which the Board and management considers mitigate this risk effectively.
Supply chain risk is monitored, and the Group has identified a range of suppliers operating in different jurisdictions
to mitigate the risk of the loss of a single supplier.
Technology risk, particularly in relation to hacking or illegal access to systems, is managed through a dedicated
information technology department, along with external consultants which the Board and management consider
mitigate this risk effectively. The Audit and Risk Committee regularly receives technology control finding updates.
Information reporting includes updates about the status of previously raised items, fraud risk management,
cyber risks and security monitoring, access governance and vendor management reviews, along with the latest
assessment of evolving risk matters for consideration.
The Managing Director, together with senior management, meets regularly on risk assessment affecting the
business and maintain a risk matrix which is used to monitor and mitigate these risks. A risk matrix measures
the impact of the risk and likelihood of occurrence and is provided to the Audit and Risk Committee and Board
annually. The Group maintains insurance policies that it considers adequate to meet insurable risks.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Recommendation 6.2: An issuer should disclose how it manages its health and safety risks and should report
on its health and safety risks, performance and management.
The health, safety and wellbeing of people is of the utmost importance to Delegat. A safe and healthy workplace
is one in which people and suppliers are accountable and empowered to work together to protect and promote
the health, safety and wellbeing of all.
The Board has responsibility for ensuring the Group maintains a health and safety management system that
meets best practice standards to protect the health and safety of employees and contractors engaged by the
Group. A Workplace Health and Safety Report, which covers Group performance across a range of measures
of Health and Safety, is presented to and reviewed by the Board at each Board meeting. The Board and senior
management are appraised of all notifiable incidents and injuries and the actions taken to ensure the health and
wellbeing of injured persons. Actions taken to prevent incident reoccurrence are also advised.

HEALTH AND SAFETY (CONTINUED)
The Group People and Culture Manager and specialist team members in the People and Culture function assist
the Board in meeting its responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, as well as other regulations
and policies.
Management operates and assesses the effectiveness of risk assessment and mitigation, safety processes and
systems, capability of staff and the general culture of the business in relation to safety.
The Group has implemented a Health and Safety Risk Matrix to identify specific hazards and risks, assess their
severity of impact and likelihood of occurrence, document mitigation strategies and determine the level of
residual risk. This matrix is reviewed at least annually by the Board, and annual Health and Safety objectives and
key performance indicators are set for the business based on the significant risks identified.
The Group has introduced wellbeing initiatives to help create a healthy working environment with the goal for
promoting and maintaining physical, mental, and social wellbeing for everyone at Delegat.
PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS
The board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.
EXTERNAL AUDIT
Recommendations 7.1 and 7.2: The board should establish a framework for the issuer’s relationship with its
external auditors. This should include procedures prescribed in the NZX Code. The external auditor should
attend the issuer’s annual shareholders meeting to answer questions from shareholders in relation to the
audit.
The Board has adopted a policy in relation to the provision of the non-audit services by the Group’s external
auditor to ensure the independence of the external auditor. This is based on the principle that work that may
detract from the external auditor’s independence and impartiality (or that may be perceived as doing so) should
not be carried out by the external auditors.
The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for the oversight of the Group’s external audit arrangements. These
arrangements include procedures for the matters described in Recommendation 7.1 of the NZX Code.
The Audit and Risk Committee is committed to ensuring the Group’s external auditor is able to carry out its work
independently so that financial reporting is reliable and credible. The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for
the appointment of Delegat’s external auditors, its terms of engagement and the level of fees incurred (subject
to shareholder approval). The Audit and Risk Committee monitors the nature and extent of other services
provided by the external auditor, and the ratio of audit fees to non-audit fees, to ensure that those services are
complementary to the external audit and compatible with maintaining external audit independence. Regular
rotation of the external audit firm is not mandated, however rotation of the key audit partner of Delegat is required
every five years. The Group’s external auditor is Deloitte. Total fees paid to Deloitte in its capacity as auditor are
included in the Annual Report on page 59.
The Group invites representatives of Delegat’s external auditors to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
and for the lead audit partner to be available to answer Shareholder questions about the conduct of their audit
and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report.

INTERNAL AUDIT
Recommendation 7.3: Internal audit functions should be disclosed.
The Group does not have an internal audit function. Procedures have been established at Board and executive
management levels that are designed to safeguard the assets and interests of the Group and ensure the
integrity of reporting. These include accounting, financial reporting and internal control policies and procedures.
The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for the overall internal control framework but recognises that
no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. To assist in discharging this
responsibility, the Board has instigated an internal control framework as follows:
• Financial reporting – there is a comprehensive budgeting system with an annual budget approved by the Board.
Monthly actual results are reported against budget and revised forecasts for the year are prepared regularly.
The consolidated entity reports to Shareholders half-yearly. Procedures are also in place to ensure that price-
sensitive information is reported to the NZX in accordance with continuous disclosure obligations;
• Operating unit controls – financial controls and standard operating procedures, including information system
controls, are in operation throughout the consolidated entity; and
• Investment appraisal – the consolidated entity has clear guidelines for capital expenditure. These include
annual budgets, as well as detailed appraisal and review procedures.
PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RELATIONS
The board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships with shareholders that
encourage them to engage with the issuer.
INFORMATION FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS
Recommendation 8.1: An issuer should have a website where investors and interested stakeholders can
assess financial and operational information and key corporate governance information about the issuer.
The Group is committed to an open and transparent relationship with Shareholders. The Board aims to ensure that
all Shareholders are provided with all information necessary to assess the Group’s direction and performance.
This is undertaken through a range of communication methods, including periodic and continuous disclosures to
the NZX, half-year and annual reports and the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. The Managing Director and Chief
Financial Officer present via an analysts’ and investors’ conference call after the release of the interim and final
year results and answer questions raised by analysts and investors. The Group’s website provides financial and
operational information, details about its Directors and copies of its governance documents, for investors and
interested stakeholders to access at any time.
COMMUNICATING WITH SHAREHOLDERS
Recommendation 8.2: An issuer should allow investors the ability to easily communicate with the issuer,
including providing the option to receive communications from the issuer electronically.
Shareholders have the option of receiving their communications electronically, including by email or through
the Group’s website. Shareholders are actively encouraged to take up this option. The Board has always been
committed to having an open dialogue with Shareholders and welcomes investor enquiries.

OTHER DISCLOSURES
SHAREHOLDER VOTING RIGHTS
Recommendations 8.3 and 8.4: Quoted equity security holders should have the right to vote on major
decisions which may change the nature of the issuer in which they are invested. If seeking additional equity
capital, issuers of quoted equity securities should offer further equity security holders of the same class on a
pro rata basis, and on no less favourable terms, before further equity securities are offered to other investors.
In accordance with the Companies Act 1993, the Group’s Constitution and the NZX Listing Rules, the Group
refers any significant matters to Shareholders for approval at a Shareholders’ Meeting. All shareholders are
entitled to attend the Group’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, either in person or by representative. Resolutions
at shareholders’ meetings are by way of poll, where each shareholder is entitled to one vote per share.
NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING
Recommendation 8.5: The board should ensure that the notices of annual or special meetings of quoted
equity security holders is posted on the issuer’s website as soon as possible and at least 20 working days
prior to the meeting.
The Group posts any Notices of Shareholders’ Meetings on its website as soon as these are available. The general
practice is to make these available not less than four weeks prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting.
